Can anything good come out of Tinubu?

Antoeni:
Let's Wait For Late Reno Omokri to Come Defend it On Behalf of APC Tinubu Government

Reno? Late? Haba!! Him offend everybody for your village?

My goodness! Just imagine. So our security agencies can allow these killers just return like that?

A law maker is elected to make laws not carry out capital projects. This useless anomaly that Obasanjo started has no place in a functional democracy.

Anyone who attended that concert deserved whatever happened to him or her.

And that girl that said they stole her borrowed wig, how do you go and borrow wig just to attend a show?

What good has APC brought to this country? This useless party that is a colony of lepers.

The earlier republicans realise that Donald Trump is dead weight, the better their chances of averting disaster. If presidential elections were held today, Donald Trump will be smoked so bad he will set off radiation in every Geiger counter in a hundred mile radius.

Trump himself knows how deeply unpopular he is that's why he couldn't hold any rally in support of republican candidates.

The only reason why Donald Trump and the speaker of the house has kept the house shut down is because they don't want a vote to be held for the release of the Epstein files. The democrats and republican Thomas Massie now have the votes to force the release of those files. Donald Trump doesn't want that because it will show the world that Donald Trump is a child rapist and a pedophile.

His threats to attack Nigeria, Mexico and Venezuela are all his attempt to distract the public from the fact that he raped children and trafficked them for other wealthy individuals.

Where is Adegboye ? Where is Oyedepo?

Does any of them bear the title of commander in chief?

Finally, they want to join civilisation? They are welcome. We hope they will also abolish that practice of forcing widows to drink the water used to bathe the late husband's corpse. It is shameful that in this day and age, some people still practice such barbarism.

A government of liars. They said that the Revenue targets for the year was met since August, yet they are still borrowing heavily. They said over 50% of our earnings were being channeled into subsidy payments. Subsidy has been removed and still the country is in even more debt than before.

The Nigerian army is a joke. What is this?

Dick Cheney, the 46th vice president of the United States and a defining figure in Republican national security politics, died on Monday night. He was 84.

Cheney died “due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease,” acording to a statement released by his family early Tuesday. He leaves behind his wife Lynne, two daughters, and six grandchildren.

The statement, first published by Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman, reads in full:

"Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old. His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed. The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming’s Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President of the United States.

Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing. We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man."

Dick Cheney was the most powerful vice president in American history. As VP to George Bush Jnr, Cheney went on to reshape America’s defense posture from the Cold War through the Gulf War, then again after 9/11, admired by some for his work and reviled by others, particularly for his role in post-9/11 domestic surveillance and the Iraq War.

More than enough. just make sure you don't spend over 500k on the wedding. Among the Nigerian bannies that remain in the market now, none is worth spending more than that on.

Celebrate your victories in silence. Getting married doesn't equal staying married. You might just be exchanging one battle for another.

CAN is an arm of the APC now.

Look at them. A pathetic shameless bunch. That is all they are good at. Harassing civilians. Post him to where Boko Haram is now and he turns to jelly.
You will never see any video of where policemen are harassing people in the north. They dare not try it.

Salewa97:
How many passports have been seized unlawfully before now?

The narrative is just too one sided.

Akpabio had his reasons

Your mother keeps in shame because of you.

Almost two years in office and the dullard cannot appoint an ambassador.

Slippy:

The only New Nigeria that will work

I like this. This is very possible.

There is nothing like US-Nigeria tensions.
Your house is infested with cockroaches and you are too lazy to do anything about it. Your distant neighbour offers to help you remove them at no cost and you are picking offense. Does it make sense?

This skank should stop disturbing us. When we say avoid Gen Z girls it is due to things like this.
Her mom said Regina gave Ned 50k dollars for senatorial campaign? Which Ned? Our ancestor of the federal republic or another one? Ned that got paid over 75 million US dollars after helping Nigeria win an international case? That woman must be on drugs as well.

The only person this tariff policy benefits is Dangote. And it is not surprising that his friend, someone who would not have gotten to where he is without protectionist policies of the state as well, is speaking out in support.

It was a breezy afternoon in the dry landscape of Syria. American soldiers were lazying in their base. It was going to be another uneventful day or so it seemed. They were stationed there at the request of one of the wealthiest men in Syria. He needed them to protect his refinery. Local terrorist groups had eyes on the refinery and had long wanted to cease it. Knowing they could not do that on their own, they engaged Russian troops or Wagner to help them. But they had to take out the Americans stationed to protect the refinery first.

They had surveyed the base and placed the American troops at nothing more than 150 men. So they figured that an attacking force of 600 to 800 fighters would be enough.

They Russians amassed themselves and approached the base. Shells from ageing T-72s were fired at the base in short order. Not expecting any attack, the Americans got taken by surprise. What went down is something for the history books.

My favorite things about Khasham, in no particular order:

- The US called the de-escalation line, not once, not twice, but *three times* to be sure those weren't Russians over there, because, um, they sure looked like Russians?

- After being assured so many times that nope! No Russians in the area! SecDef Gen. James Mattis then called for the enemy force "to be annhilated. And it was." (his own words). The teeny tiny US garrison cut loose with, wait, let me check: "AC-130 gunships, F-22 Raptor and F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets, MQ-9 Reaper unmanned combat aerial vehicles, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, and B-52s bombers. Nearby American artillery batteries, including an M142 HIMARS, shelled Syrian forces as well."

The heat from the explosions was so intense the sand turned to glass and entire attacking columns of Russian soldiers got vaporised. Not even a fingernail or a piece of bone was left.

- Some Wagner dude apparently called home from the middle of the firefight screeching and hollering and begging the Russian MOD to please call the Americans off. The rout was total.

- On the US side, one Syrian ally got a sprained ankle, cos he tripped on something

- The next time the Americans saw a "steady buildup of adversarial forces where they shouldn't be" and picked up the de-confliction phone, the Russians fucking *beat feet* out of the area to prevent a repeat. Which of course was the point.

Over 400 Russian troops got wiped out. Not a single American soldier lost his life.
The Americans only call it a battle to be nice. Russia got f*cked and f*cked good too.

It may sound strange that such a question has to be asked. Some may wonder why the army is even held back in the first place.

Few Nigerians know that presently, the army in the theatre of combat has to seek some form of clearance from Abuja before engaging threats in various theatres of operations. Not too long ago, a governor in one of the Northern states lamented that he received information that a community in his state was being attacked. He passed this information to the army formation in his state but the reply he got was that they had passed the information along to Abuja and were awaiting clearance before embarking on any operation to repel the attackers. There was no clear word if the clearance approval came or if they were able to repel the attackers.

In Yelwata, Benue state, the locals came out in protest insisting that the army who came for peace keeping, vacate their community. According to them, soldiers stood by while bandits came attacking without engaging them. The soldiers on ground insisted that they had received no authorisation to do so. This attack came after the heinous massacre of hundreds of people in that community.

THE BATTLE OF KASHAM
It is fairly standard practice worldwide for every unit of an army deployed to any theatre, to have stated rules of engagement and also to seek clearance before engaging emergent threats. When Russian troops in the form of Wagner and some local forces in Syria tried to attack an American military base stationed to protect a valuable refinery in Syria, the American soldiers at the base could not immediately respond. The base commander had to inform the US army general overseeing that command which covers multiple countries. That general had to call the pentagon to seek clearance and permission to engage. The US secretary of defense under Trump then, had to call the Russian secretary of defense to inquire if Russia was aware of the Russian troops encroaching on the American military base in Syria. When the Russian secretary of defense denied knowledge of any Russian soldiers attacking an American military base, the US SECDEF then gave American forces being attacked, express permission to engage.

The American response was brutal. While American soldiers in the base were using mortars and artillery to respond and target the attacking enemy, a devastating formation of F-22s, F-16s and AC-130s got called up. They arrived in 15 minutes. They proceeded to pound the attacking Russian formations so hard that out of over 500 Russian and local terrorist groups attacking the American base, over 300 of them got wiped out.

One of the escaping Russian soldiers had his call to his commander intercepted. His words were that the Americans had f*cked them so bad there were literally no survivors. American AH-64 Apaches also joined in the fun. The heat from the hellfire missiles the Apache sent after the confused Russian/Wagner troops was so much that it vaporised entire groups of men and turned the desert sand into glass.

Enough of the digression. There is nothing wrong with our soldiers seeking clearance from Abuja before engaging threats. In a theatre where civilians are plenty and terrorists are usually not easily distinguishable and can easily blend into the populace, several layers of approval may be needed so as to avoid targeting innocents.

We have witnessed situations where the Nigerian Airforce mistakenly bombed gatherings of innocent civilians. That's how opaque these theatres can be. Extra care has to be taken. The downside to this though is that rampaging terrorists can and do get away.

I have no doubt that the Nigerian army can fully go after the threats all over the country. But they will need to go scorched-earth to do so. This will mean letting each fighting unit of the army make its assessment of the threat itself and also engage without needing to seek clearance. Inevitably, civilian deaths will be collateral damage. So the question remains, are we willing to accept the deaths of civilians as collateral in the fight against these threats?

We really cannot eat our cakes and have it in this case.

odejimioflagos:
Wike is right. The opposition have a history of using violence for political gains. They have no moral compass.

Your master Tinubu is commander in chief of the armed forces. Why hasn't he arrested the opposition he claims is behind the killings? Is he that clueless or incompetent?

Salewa97:
The US government have been sending signals that they are no longer interested in harboring the refugees of the Obidients.

First was the deportation of Obidients from the USA and now Reno.

Who is next?

Your Tinubu no chop liver to go US. Even Chinese president snubbed him and considered too little of importance to sit with.

helinues:
What do you want Peter Obi to say about the issue.

If he talks, na wahala, he still no talk na gobe. Na wah oo

Helinues is this you? Did they change your medication?

See Reno o. Your principal Tinubu can't even appoint a basic ambassador to the United States almost 2 years into office. Na Obi be Una problem.
