✝️☦️ Countries with the Largest Christian Population:

70M of the 100 M in Nigeria still visit herbalist, have charms, still donate to idols and festivals in their villages.
We are just deceiving ourselves.
Who is a Christian? According to the bible, Christ-like (In character and words). 8 out of every 10 Christians in Nigeria worship God with their lips. many accepted religion but are yet to accept Christ. many know pastors, prophets, denomination, but are yet to accept Christ.

Personnel and Financial Power
Nigeria maintains overwhelming dominance in manpower and funding. It commands a force of approximately 230,000 active personnel, backed by 50,000 paramilitary members, totaling over 280,000 personnel. Burkina Faso, in stark contrast, has only about 16,500 active personnel and 4,500 paramilitary members, making Nigeria’s force nearly 14 times larger. Financially, Nigeria’s defense budget is approximately $3.16 billion USD, which is roughly 38 times larger than Burkina Faso’s budget of $81.28 million USD.

Mankind2024:
Why Captain Ibrahim Traoré Is Playing with Fire by Detaining Nigerian Soldiers
Many people underestimate the capabilities of the Nigerian military and what it could mean for the government of Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

Don't be misled by Nigeria's ongoing internal security challenges—fighting Fulani herdsmen clashes, kidnappers, bandits, and jihadist insurgents in the North, or separatist agitation in the East involving IPOB and unknown gunmen. These are asymmetric insurgencies, complicated by local sympathies and complex socio-political dynamics that make total eradication difficult without massive collateral impact. No advanced military in the world easily wins such protracted internal wars.

In stark contrast, a direct confrontation with Burkina Faso would be conventional (symmetric) warfare. The Nigerian Armed Forces—Africa's largest by personnel, with superior airpower, logistics, and combat experience—have the overwhelming potential to overrun Burkina Faso's smaller military and, if provoked far enough, enforce regime change in Ouagadougou.

Dismiss any notion that Russia's support for Traoré would deter this. Nigeria could establish theater commands in neighboring countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo for a multi-front operation, leveraging regional alliances and superior resources.

This detention risks escalating a diplomatic incident into something far more dangerous. Traoré's supporters—often vocal online pan-Africanists and certain political factions—may cheer the bravado now, but they would have plenty to lament if things spiral out of control.

Global and Continental Standing
Nigeria is ranked as the 3rd most powerful military in Africa and 31st globally. Its Power Index (PwrIndx) score of 0.5771 reflects significant military capacity. Conversely, Burkina Faso is ranked much lower, placing 31st in Africa and 129th globally, with a Power Index of 2.9734.Global and Continental Standing

AFRICA YOUTH GAMES ANGOLA 2025: TEAM NIGERIA SUSTAINS NIGERIA'S SWIMMING REVOLUTION

- Clement Nwankpa Jr in Luanda

If trends are to be reckoned with, Nigeria seems to be bulldozing her way into a hitherto uncharted territory in sports. Over the years, we have decried the nation's lack of podium appearances in swimming, a multi medal event at major Games.

At the continental level, we had watched nations like Egypt and South Africa feast on medals in water like sharks preying in the sea. These medals ultimately enabled these countries to finish ahead of Nigeria in the overall medals table in most of these events. If Nigeria had not been impressive in Africa, of course little should be expected at the global stage.

The shortcomings in swimming weren't accidental. They were as a result of poor foundations. This is one of the sports that athletes stand better chances of excelling when they start very early. And we had never even been excellent at the junior levels.

Meanwhile, recent events point to a change in the nation's fortunes in swimming. There has been a consistent harvest of medals by the nation's teenagers in age group championships, a development that has been carried over to the ongoing Africa Youth Games in Angola.

In May, 17 year old Abdul Jabar Adama emerged the best male athlete at the 3rd Africa Junior Swimming Championships in Cairo. He won three gold in the 50m butterfly, 50m freestyle and 100m freestyle to lead Nigeria to a third place finish on the overall medals table. On two occasions, he broke the championship record in 50m butterfly on the same day.

Then in August this year, Adama became the first Nigerian to win a medal at the World Aquatics Junior Championships held in Romania with a silver in the men's 50m butterfly. His time of 23.48 secs in the semifinal was a new national record. He had also set the old record of 23.61 that same morning. Meanwhile, prior to the world championship, he had set a record of 23.81 at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships in April. So here was a sensation setting records and breaking the same.

Adama was setting the pace but results from the swimming events at the Africa Youth Games in Angola on Saturday highlighted a generational shift. Obviously Adama isn't alone in this revolution. At the AYG, 14 year old Aidan Dumuje Abili, who was in the Invited Junior Athletes contingent at the Gateway Games, clinched a bronze in 50m butterfly with a personal best time of 25.78, an improvement from the 26.07 he did in Ghana in October.

Abili was a beneficiary of the IJA initiative that enabled budding athletes to rub shoulders with the elites. He had won two silver and one bronze at the last National Sports Festival. After his exploits at the Gateway Games, Abili had set his sights on the global stage aiming to be a trailblazer at the Olympics.

He said, "I have not participated at this level before. On behalf of the other IJA athletes, I thank the NSC for this opportunity. I have learnt quite a lot here. This exposure will surely help me in my career."

Abili, who was a triple gold medalist at the 2024 National Youth Games, promised to take advantage of the Gateway Games participation to put Nigeria on the podium in future global events.

"I have my eyes now on the Youth Olympics. After that I will target the Olympics in the years ahead. I will do my best to make sure I put Nigeria on the podium in appreciation of this opportunity. We have to make this IJA experience count", he added.

On the evidence of today's performance, he is obviously living up to this promise of consistently putting the nation on the podium in the future. His sights are on Youth Olympics and the Olympics proper but the NSF and AYG are perfect stepping stones.

If the various State can continue to pour money into sports and actively participate in the National Sports Festival, it will further enhance sports and produce athletes for the nation and for the world. More of this.

Mr Peter Obi has criticized Tinubu’s request to borrow 20trillion naira to finance the 2026 budget while the federal government is still implementing 2024 budget.

According to Mr Obi, the Federal Government has not touched the 2025 budget at all.

He equally questions the rationale behind the borrowing when government announced that they had met their revenue target as far back as in August. So, where’s the money?



Source

Mumu man, Federal government is borrowing from itself, it is transparency to ask. Past government just withdraws federal bonds without due process. The funds is government's funds raised through bonds - Only a dumb person like Obi who does not understand anything at all een when his friend Rufai gave him an advance interview questions, he was still reading from the booklet, he can't answer what they wrote for him. How do you expect him and his fellow back benchers in nairaland to understand what this is.

I hate social media; it has given back benchers in school days a voice- they can now hide behind their keyboards and vomit that nonsense that is the bedrock of their empty skull.

A person with fraud intent and scam in his blood is drive by GREED, not whether government is bad or not. A bad person is a bad person, a good person is a good person...... Everyone is just hiding under government inadequacies to commit their inherent traits.

I have been in abroad for over 13 years and i like my pace, i no dey do pass myself, i no dey shook eye for wetin i no fit buy and pay by myself. Nobody dey pursue me, i no dey do competition with anybody.

I have risen in my career to Managerial level, but i still see young people, those who are earning way less, trying to impress, living luxurious lifestyle. I know it's unsustainable, and sooner or later they will run into financial difficulty that will give them no choice than to commit crime. Every choices that you make today in abroad, will hunt you - You have to be smart financially.

I saw this very interesting question on Twitter.

“ So after burning us in hell what will God actually gain?”

What do you think?

for all the evil you have done to your fellow man, innocent people, innocent girls, you don't want repercussion for your devilish ways- Dey play....
It has been placed before you, do good, and be rewarded, do evil, and get your reward as well.

It is not God, you by your hand choose where you belong and what you suffer afterwards.

LGA Chairman In Akwa Ibom Shows Off “Necessary Equipment” He Provided For The Security Unit To Fight Insecurity.

The X post by @obaofph01
satirically highlights Ntiedo Effiong Usoro, Chairman of Essien Udim LGA in Akwa Ibom State, presenting basic items like machetes, raincoats, gumboots, and torchlights as "necessary equipment" for a local security unit combating insecurity.

This provision draws widespread online mockery, as the gear appears ill-suited for confronting armed threats prevalent in Nigeria's Niger Delta region, where vigilante groups often face better-equipped criminals.

The viral thread underscores ongoing governance critiques in Nigeria, with replies emphasising the equipment's inadequacy—such as machetes versus rifles—amid rising calls for federal support in community policing.

If you are looking for the most clueless politicians, go to the East - Their LG councils are non-existent.

Fragile States Index

The fact that No Western country made the list - Even the Europe hegemons, the German government that have plunged Germany into recession for 3 years, or the failing France government - The puppet Uk or Donald Trump of America, not making the list is a testament that the list is compiled by the Westerners. Surprisingly, they included Russia, Russia that has been single-handedly dealing with them in Ukraine, and they fil to include Ukraine, a very corrupt nation that, even while been defeated in the battlefield are still stealing money...ravaged with corruption never ever seen. Or the non-elected bureaucrats in Brussels that connived with Zelensky to help steal money donated so they can share it after the war.

You have no leader but greedy people in PDP - Obasanjo used and dumped PDP, Goodluck used and dumped PDP, so were the founding leaders. Everyone is pursuing personal agenda - no love for the nation, no love for the party or what the party stands for. No unity, how can you unify the country?

They have more pedophiles over here, you just have to come to the understanding that, they have exploited the system, and most of those in it are the multi-billionaires. It's a whole market where they are supplied these young girls - have you heard of Epstein? Trump is an accomplice, so are many top politicians globally.

To make this list.

God forgive me but I don't understand the hype about funke's and especially toyin Abraham's movies.

Funke's is still a bit understandable and manageable!

Try ask for grace that will make you be reckoned with in your chosen career. And may people not talk down on your hard work. That is their own office and means of livelihood. You are not a fan, at least ask for their type of grace.

With looted funds, one of the people who damage the country

At least he built something wherre the masses can work - Your Peter Obi invested his own share in pandora, brewery and invested the rest in importation of tomato paste rather than build industries where youths can work and make money.

DrChukki:
In another news, Kebbi state government approved N10bn loan for Hajj. In a state where their hospital wards looks like a dirty swimming pool.

This is a reason Peter Obi remains very far ahead of them. It doesn't make sense building gigantic projects while you're very low in HDI.

And how many of those hospitals did Peter Obi build - where are the standard schools he built in Anambra? Where are the standard roads? Where are the industries? He'd rather invest the money in bank or import tomato paste, or invest in brewery.
is that the Peter Obi that's better than others? Show me one legacy infrastructure or establishment or progress that is today or can be attributed to Peter Obi, just 1.
All we see are Audio projects - he did this and that - you go explain taya, no evidence.

Benin coup attempt: President Talon addresses nation, says situation 'completely under control'




https://www.trtafrika.com/english/article/06a590fd05bd

My cousin from Benin Republic by the name " Gaston" told me last night on a call- He said they don't like the president because he is blocking holes where money is stolen, that such act ceases free flow of money in the streets. And he has arrested many people from his inner caucus who thought they could use the opportunity to steal. My cousin is also complaining that this Dec will be dry for him because, one of his Minister usually give him up to 5M naira for Xmas celebration- and he won't be getting that because the man is in jail.

But bandits dey do carnival every day with human blood they no see



Cocaine dey really spoil brain

The cocaine your brothers are carrying that's make them to wallow in prisons across the globe - it used to be in Asia, but now, it's the globe.

Na you be the mumu (not Tinubu) - Coup plotters have face and location. bandits and what have you have no particular face, they can strike anywhere at anytime, one group may act independent of the other - one in Sokoto, another in Kebbi, another in Niger, another in Kwara - They do it and run to the bush, some even live amongst the people as ordinary citizens and you will never know.
