If anything it's the north itself that marginalizes the south gan gan...


But they can never be satisfied!

Through proliferation of 20 states in the old Northern region by northern military dictators, the north takes home most of Nigeria's income and development projects.

PBAT is only after getting 2nd term as president of Nigeria.
Unknown to him, a country whose leadership is unable to protect citizens is not fit to exist as a sovereign country.

Oyibo people don't marry anymore. Their women have jobs.
Because of dysfunctional Nigeria, there is unemployment. Girls like these look for males to marry them and care for them.

Atiku Abubakar is the only one standing against rescue of Nigeria from APC through his intention to stand against Peter Obi in ADC Primaries.

Atiku knows there is no way power can go to the North after four years of Tinubu.

Kwontinue with propaganda of falsehood. You think the rest are fools.

In as much as electronic transmission of election results is a good move, we need to also realise that some wards, LGAs are still without Network. What would be there faith during the election?

There are a few of those uncovered wards.

It's criminal intent to use the few uncovered wards to deny the larger number of covered wards e-transmission of votes in real time.

It’s painful not knowing the full reality of her situation. All we can do is continue to hope, pray, and call for urgent action so that she can finally regain her freedom and reunite with her family. No one deserves to spend their youth in captivity.

She is still in Nigeria.

But there is no government in control of Nigeria's territory. That's why she can't be located. Yet the government talks about sovereignty of Nigeria, but does not understand that the government has lost that sovereignty since it cannot protect the citizens and their property.

Two security personnel attached to a commercial bank have reportedly been dismissed after allegedly sharing ₦20,000 that was mistakenly dispensed by an Automated Teller Machine (ATM).

The incident, which gained attention on X (formerly Twitter), has triggered widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians debating workplace integrity, accountability, and the consequences of poor judgment. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to details shared by a user on the social media platform, a bank customer had visited the ATM gallery during the weekend to withdraw cash.

After initiating a transaction, the machine reportedly delayed releasing the money. Assuming the withdrawal had failed, the customer removed his debit card and left the premises.

However, shortly after the customer departed, the ATM dispensed the requested ₦20,000.

It was alleged that two security guards on duty at the location noticed the unattended cash, took possession of it, and later shared the money between themselves instead of reporting the incident to bank officials.

Sources claimed that the issue came to light after the affected customer later discovered that his bank account had been debited despite not receiving the cash.

Following a review of the ATM footage, the guards were reportedly identified and subsequently relieved of their duties by the bank management.

While the bank involved has not officially commented on the development, the story has continued to generate mixed reactions, with some Nigerians condemning the guards’ actions while others questioned whether dismissal was too severe considering the amount involved.

The development has sparked conversations about ethics in the workplace, particularly for employees in sensitive positions that require a high level of trust.

Some commentators argued that honesty should not be determined by the amount involved, while others expressed sympathy, citing economic hardship and low wages often associated with private security jobs.

First and major blames go to the bank for installing faulty cash machine which takes extra time to dispense money.

I’ve not said anything, I only asked you for evidence which you failed miserably to provide.

Evidence? It's like asking for evidence to show that there is a difference between daylight and night.

Two problems with Soludo:
1) A frightening disdain for Peter Obi that has the potential to lure him into doing or saying anything just to unravel Obi..

2) A vaulting ambition to access every top public office before anyone else, because of his dibbilitating hubris that makes him think he is the smartest kid on the block.

As a governor, he hasn't been specifically brilliant, yet he hasn't been a disaster either. This means that he stands the chance of winning the people over on his political climb if he plays his cards well..

But dude just can't take it easy. He is so invested in Abuja politics that he is desperately ready to throw caution to the wind. And it is that desperation and its accompanying recklessness that will prove to be his archilless heels..

Never before had there been any Igbo in guber position who displayed the level of Soludo's sycophancy and political stupidity.

NOETHNICITY:
Your paradigm makes zero sense. Zero sense.

How could they make any senses when you are on Taqqiya?
It's only another Islamist of Nigeria who can deny the common interest shared by Boko Haram and the sharia states.

Epiphany77:
Even in the use private practice of sharia takes place. The difference is that sharia is recognised in the Federal constitution of Nigeria.

Nigeria's Constitution does not allow the use of sharia criminal laws in any part of Nigeria.
Nigeria's Constitution allows the use of sharia civil laws.

One of the earliest demands of the CJN, Tanko Mohammed, appointed by presidebt was for inclusion of Sharia criminal laws in the constitution of Nigeria.
US constitution does not support Sharia criminal laws.
Sharia criminal justice system includes stoning blasphemous persons to death, stoning women to death for adultery etc.

NOETHNICITY:
I was told by my professor that every statement of fact must have evidence to support it. Do you have evidence to prove the correlation between the adoption of sharia many years ago and Boko haram?

The evidences are legion.
1)
Boko Haram share same objective with the political and religious leaders of the far north Nigeria states who adopted sharia crimimal laws
Their objective is getting Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
2) There was no Boko Haram before the political and religious leaders in the far north states adopted unconstitutional sharia criminal laws. Boko Haram emerged immediately after your adoption of sharia criminal justice system.
3) Boko Haram should have been defeated if not that too many Muslims in the 12 sharia states of northern Nigeria sympathize
Sabotage of Nigeria.

NOETHNICITY:
Only a person who is inherently ignorant of global events would argue that powerful global players don’t have a hand in the Boko crisis

Taqqiya.

Were those global players non existent before you adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system in the far north Nigeria states? They should have prompted Boko Haram long before you adopted sharia crimimal laws.

Adoption of sharia criminal laws ushered in Boko Haram which also says that it's fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.


The US has just asked you to rescind your adoption of sharia criminal laws that originated Islamic terrorism in Nigeria.
You are yet to comply. You shout sovereignty of Nigeria.
When the Americans now start to feel that you are ignoring them with holding tight to your sharia criminal laws, and start to bombard, you will raise conspiracy theories that the Western countries are behind the violence in Nigeria.

anonimi:
Your Tinubu is too busy stealing money to bribe politicians for his reelection and life presidency, to bother with splitting Nigeria 🇳🇬.

The same Bola Tinubu who said he didn't believe in one Nigeria a few years ago, he now wants to become life president of Nigeria.
Does he not reckon with the fact that Babangida, Abacha and Obasanjo tried to become life president but all failed?

CyynthiaKiss:
Even Remi indirectly accepted defeat by calling for more strikes after many months of rejecting Trump’s intervention

Trump really damaged Tinubu and his supporters psychologically ..

Meanwhile, as long as religion of moon exists I don’t see how north would be free from Islamic terror..

Boko haram said they won’t stop until sharia laws are implemented.. Same thing some Islamic scholars are calling for,including some Islamic scholars from SW..

Same ideology, same pattern..
Tell me how Islamic terrorism would stop in Nigeria
?

You got it. Boko Haram phenomenon will not stop unless they achieve Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.

The difference between Boko haram and the leaders of the 12 northern Nigeria sharia states is like the difference between six and half a dozen.

These Islamic terrorists are fighting to get a country to be governed with Sharia criminal laws, the same unconstitutional sharia criminal justice system adopted by the political and religious leaders in the far north Nigeria states beginning 1999.
The more the Islamic terrorists in Nigeria are attacked, the more human casualties they provoke.
Only solution is split Nigeria into more manageable countries so that the sharia states of northern Nigeria can have Islamic Republic of Arewa.

The killed commander shall be replaced immediately.
It's a religious war started after the political and religious leaders in the far north Nigeria adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system beginning 1999.
The only ending to Boko Haram menace is in dividing Nigeria into more manageable countries so that the sharia states shall have their Islamic Republic of Arewa to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.

Be realistic. No more dishonesty.
Insecurity of Islamic terrorism in the Sahel region started after the political and religious leaders in the far north Nigeria states adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system.
Boko Haram and its offshoots, bandits and armed Fulani herdsmen are fighting for a Sahel region including Nigeria, to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.
Truth is that no amount of military interventions can stop the Islamists.
The only solution is in dividing Nigeria into more manageable countries.

Motion moved by Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno
seconded by Senator Abba Moro

Motion read by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio

Is that all? APC shall on election day ensure internet does not work in Nigeria on the day of the election.
Instead of saying wait till internet supplied to the area to enable the transmission of results to resume.

Distraction.

A few people in power cannot be allowed to override the wishes of millions of people in Nigeria. It's electronic transmission of vote results or no elections.

State Police? Arewa resists State Police because Arewa believes some southern regions can hide under State Police to import arms for secession from Nigeria.


Diaspora vote? Arewa say Nigeria is not ready for Diaspora vote.
How can a country exist with one part continually drag others back?
I

Wike is a man who has sacrificed his presidential ambition for the sake of Tinubu
For now Wike can lick the toes of Tinubu in order to be seen or heard.

Election rigging stems from the "Abuja controls all" type of politics.

NIGERIA MUST FACE THE TRUTH: WE ARE NOT ONE PEOPLE
A SOUTHERN STRATEGIC CONCLUSION
By Kio Amachree, Political Scientist

I have a Yoruba mother from Shagamu.
My father is from Buguma, in Kalabari land.

I have Yoruba cousins.
I have Igbo cousins.
I have Kalabari cousins.

I am a Nigerian.
And I am proud to be one.

I am a Christian.
I am liberal-conservative.
I am educated, well spoken, internationally exposed.
I have lived abroad for decades.
I understand nations, identity, culture, and human behavior.

And today, after years of denying reality, I have reached a conclusion that many Southerners are afraid to say out loud.

Nigeria is not one people.
Nigeria has never been one people.

From the Atlantic coast of the South-South, to the forests of the East, to the inner heartland of Yoruba land, we share something powerful.

We look alike.
We mix easily abroad.
We speak English.
We intermarry.
We share similar values.
We communicate naturally.
We understand each other’s worldview.

Whether you are Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Kalabari, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Efik, Ibibio, Edo, or any other southern group, you can travel across the South and still feel at home.

Yes, we have differences.
But we are culturally compatible.

That is what makes a nation.

But when I go to the North, I do not feel Nigerian.

I feel like an outsider.

The tone is different.
The culture is different.
The structure is different.
The values are different.
The language is different.

Most of them do not speak English fluently.
Their social code is not the Nigerian code I grew up with.
Their worldview is shaped by a different civilization entirely.

They are closer in culture to Chad, Niger, and parts of the Arab world than they are to the Southern Nigerian identity.

And we must stop lying to ourselves about it.

For too long, Southerners have pretended.
We have repeated slogans.
We have used emotional propaganda.
We have forced ourselves to believe the fantasy of “One Nigeria.”

But this union was never natural.
It was engineered.

It was designed by the British.
It was forced together by colonial strategy.

And it has been catastrophic.

The South funds Nigeria.
The South drives Nigeria.
The South produces Nigeria’s wealth.
The South builds Nigeria’s international reputation.

Yet the South is treated with contempt.
Insulted.
Threatened.
Bullied.
And constantly blamed.

We are expected to carry the burden of a region that refuses to modernize, refuses to integrate, refuses to adapt, and refuses to respect those who feed the federation.

And then we are told we must remain silent for “unity.”

What kind of unity is that?

This is not unity.
This is exploitation.

The North has deep internal problems.
Security problems.
Extremism problems.
Banditry problems.
Educational problems.
Economic problems.

But instead of solving them, the political culture has become one of entitlement.
A belief that Nigeria belongs to them.
A belief that power is their birthright.

And I am tired of it.

I do not believe the North respects the South.
I do not believe the North will ever be a benefit to the South.
And I do not believe this forced marriage can survive forever.

Let us be honest.

I cannot marry their daughters.
Their culture is not mine.
Their religious structure is not mine.
Their values are not mine.

So why should we keep pretending?

This is not racism.
This is realism.

This is not hatred.
This is survival.

It is common sense.

The South must begin to openly revisit the Nigerian union.
Not with violence.
Not with insults.
But with seriousness.
With strategy.
With cold, professional political logic.

Let the North go its way.
Let it practice its religion freely.
Let it speak its language.
Let it develop its own resources.
Let it drill its own oil.
Let it solve its own security issues.

And let the South finally breathe.

Let the South smile again.

Because the insults, threats, backwardness, and endless political blackmail from the North has drained the spirit of the Southern Nigerian identity.

Mistakes were made in 1960.
Southern independence leaders capitulated to British colonial pressure.
They accepted a union that should have been renegotiated from the beginning.

That decision has cost generations of Southerners their peace, their security, their wealth, and their dignity.

We must correct that mistake.

As a political scientist, and as a patriot, I have reached my final conclusion:

Nigeria cannot continue like this.

The South must make a strategic decision.
A peaceful decision.
A historic decision.

The North should go its own way.

And the South should finally build the prosperous, modern, educated, globally respected nation it was always meant to be.

How do people engineering this one party system in a pluralistic society feel?

So now UN boss Guiterress begins to see Nigeria?
Thanks Donald Trump.
