That locking of the city muzz me, na Babylon?

Well I understand your point.

But really there are many Nigerians.

yes there are many Nigerians. Even 50 million people is still a lot of people

Borrow2222:
Terrorists sympathisers.

Tell your disgraced APC government to allow citizens carry guns.

I will start with your clan first.

I actually support Nigerians allowed to legally arm themselves. As a first step, these random community raids will become even rare (i.e if they ever happen).

what do you mean by your last sentence? Please explain so I can be sure we are on the same page.

Middleborn:
We are a strange generation that are very foolish and cowardly.

Time and time again we witness and hear reports of killings in Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi, Benue, Jos, Kwara, Bornu, Niger, Enugu, Edo states etc.

We have heard this news of killings for some years now. People been attacked in the night while they are sleeping, burned alive and macheted. We see the dead bodies with machete cuts. These news have terrified us.

For a moment, just forget about the fact that these victims might be Christians. Are the killings not bad in themselves? If a World power like the USA has decided to come help us snuff-out the savages that perpetrate these heinous acts, are we not supposed to be happy. Even if the USA will decide to part away with some of our resources in a deal, so that they can help us crush these Boko boys, should we have a problem with it? Are you benefitting from the resources as we speak?

I'm so surprised that some Nigerians come to social media to say no to Trump coming to help Nigeria fight terrorists. Like, have you ever lost someone because of these terrorist? People have lost entire family and the Nigerian government have done nothing about it. We even heard of a man who killed a herdsman in the process of self-defense and he was jailed.

Please lets be guided o. APC and the Nigerian government no send anybody....you shouldnt allow them influence you to reject something that will make the land peaceful again.

you already know it is not today they have been killing Nigerians in various parts of the country. You also know it is not today south america has been producing drugs that are classified as "illegal". I mean Nigeria even suffered an arms embargo that restricted acquisition of military hardware that would have saved more Nigerian lives if the deals were successful. Guess who sanctioned Nigeria?

Now Nigeria has signed critical oil deals with China and India, Nigeria suddenly needs "military support". They want Nigeria to come begging for loans as usual so our economy never grows.

These your favorite world powers do not care about Nigerian christians. They would have taken them in and settled your nigerian christians in their country like was done for white South African farmers earlier this year when they were being attacked.

Jostoman:
BAT supporters are now waiting for Atiku and Obi to talk so that they can use their words against them, the only strategy they use to deceive the Northerners is religion.

I just hope Atiku and Obi will not fall for their trap by committing on the issue.

Reno Omokiri is number one in this business. If he does not mention Peter Obi's name 6 times every morning, his penis will not rise

Heffalump:
If there's no improvement in security and those who perpetuated this heinous evil brought to justice, then the Western governments should block Tinubu from contesting in 2027. It shows he doesn't have any business with leadership. Playing politics with human lives is pure wickedness.

so it is western governments that are in charge of your electoral systems abi? they should block Tinubu.

some of you need to come back and read the type of things you write on nairaland. that is why i quoted you

TOPMAN4LIFE:
We want foreign powers to intervene since terrorists have overpowered successive governments in Nigeria.
You are wicked if you just want everyone to look away from numerous killings and deaths caused by Islamic jihadist

sometimes i want to comment but I remember some people born 10 years ago still use this platform. you have so much to learn and it will only take time. If I go back and forth with you here on this, you might not even learn anything.

Nigerian christians display a special type of gullibility

If Donald Trump, your personal lord and saviour, loves you so much. Why does he not take you into his country as a refugee like he did for the white South African farmers earlier this year?

The US, as a country, refused to sell military equipment that our army would have used to curtail criminal actions of insurgency when it was not as widespread as it is today. WE even got hit with sanctions that worsened the state of our already developing economy. Now, he suddenly loves Nigerian christians. I laugh.

Countries like Venezuela and Nigeria play a key role in the BRICS alliance (look up the member nations) and a functional group like BRICS is bad market for USA. France is almost governable today partly because the extortion racket they had on West African countries that moves their wealth to Paris continues to weaken every month. Same is happening to the US since they chose to seize Russian assests under the pretext of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Israel has been bombing Palestine since 1947. How many Israeli assets have been seized internationally? The US and Israel recently bombed 3 cities in Iran, how many US/Israeli assets were seized and sanctioned internationally? Israel bombed Syria and Qatar, how many Israeli assets were seized? In fact, some countries even get overwhelming support for attacking other ones, while some are hit with sanctions and international economic restrictions.

Countries with smart leadership have seen the hypocrisy where international laws only apply to some countries while the rest of them are above the law. They are pushing to decouple from their "international" system and the US is not happy. I am sure if Nigeria was a monarchy, the US would say they are bringing "democracy" to save Nigerian christians and all of them would shout hallelujah.

AqualinaXYZ:
Reno Omokri I know you’re seeing this my post because most people here knows your handle on nairaland and you’re 247 active for years



Reno make I ask u one question and u can confide in me because I’ve access to Peter Obi even when he comes to Port Harcourt I meet him



Reno now question is



DID PETER OBI PROMISE TO GIVE YOU DOGGIE AND LATER REFUSED ?



Reno slide into my DM now I’m worried over this persistent obsession

If Reno does not call Peter Obi's name 5 times everyday, his penis will not stand up.

Judolisco:
oga I'm currently in the south, I'm currently in ogun state, and I travel around, my job requires I do so.... You can't have all this bad roads and blame it all on rainfall.... I served in Ekiti and it rained throughout my stay there, rain started around march and was still falling in December, they have good road network, even in remote villages, most of their roads are old but have good drainages and they are regularly maintained....
I'm in ogun now and I see all dis bad roads, u can't blame everything on rainfall sir...

you are the one blaming everything on rainfall.

the rain is one factor. of course there are other conditions involved that may affect how long a road will remain in a good state but we are not talking about them now, are we?

Elusive001:
Bros, in road design and construction, there are considerations for impact of water. Most roads in the south are of poor quality and maintenanceis poor. Let's be truthful.

I did not say the roads in the south are of high quality

Comprehension

For the same quality of road in the north and south of Nigeria, the one in the south will not last long because of the volume of rain they get.

Iliyadubuak:
Don't use rain to cover your greedy politicians in the south, North have more quality roads than south.rain or without rain the roads will more than the ones in South.

I am amazed that you read what I wrote and came to the conclusion I am "covering for greedy politicians".

na wa. sometimes to type for this nairaland dey tire person sef

DeepSight:
Mobile registrations are only one method to get a hint. There are many methods which even include population estimation by satellite images. The population of Nigeria is not estimated only by census. International bodies have sound technical ways of estimating it and many such bodies estimate us at 230 million.

What about the voters register, it's entirely fake as well?

What about NIN. Do you know 126 Million have been registered so far?

What about BVNs, do you know it's over 60 million as of this year?

There are many pointers that we are FAR over a hundred million.

People from Niger republic have NIN. I have seen it with my eyes. Nigeria, I mean real Nigerians are about 100 million or less

If Trump really cares about Nigerian Christians, he should take them into the US as refugees like he did for the white South African farmers early this year.

I'm sure by now, no living Nigerian thinks Trump is working for our best interest. The man already has a country to lead.

Rule 1.

Never take any article from saharareporters serious.

If saharareporters post that we are in the month of November. Check at least 3 reliable calendars before you agree with them.

Kylekent59:
Evil people in Nigeria changing the narrative


Trump wants to eliminate terrorist in Nigeria

That's the narrative

You think you are wise abi?

If Trump likes Nigerian Christians, he should allow them immigrate as refugees to the United State like he did for the white South African farmers

Borrow2222:
Those clowns that are saying Nigeria is a sovereign state and the US shouldn't intervene.

Look at the kind of people you're sharing the country with.

We should all pretend that all is okay and continue being killed?

God punish you all.

so you are too lazy and afraid to save yourself, you are waiting for foreigners to come and save you?

the kind of effeminate men we have in this generation is the real reason these rascalities continue to perpetuate in our country.

kingbee90:
Amoda Sangodele Ogunlere, the mandate snatcher has brought nothing other than shame and disgrace to this nation.

What a shameful and mysterious man.

the man has surrounded himself with security, so no fear. He will finish his term and do another one

trutharena:
Obi is always looking for an opportunity to comment on every issue.

you and your boyfriend will not allow Peter Obi rest. On nairaland frontpage now, there is another thread where Reno Omokiri is challenging Peter Obi for his "loud silence". As if both of you can not make love without calling Peter Obi's name

zero8zero:
You must be very ignorant, is it the office implementing the policies?. If it's a bad news, you will put in on the President but when it comes to commendation, it's the office and not the occupier. Why were they not praising past presidents?. Una mind no go t0uch gr0und.

the office still gets the blame and the praise, you seem to notice the blame more. these business men will align with who ever occupies that seat where it is a drug trafficker or a boko haram sponsor.

Judolisco:
I grew up in the North and we have our fair share of rainfall and even flooding , so u can't blame it up on rain, you construct roads without drainage, contractors use substandard materials, they don't do regular maintenance on your so called roads and you're blaming it on rain? Kai

you grew up in the north. that statement tells me you must have lived in the south. are you comparing the amount of rainfall a southern town like Warri gets with a northern town like Maiduguri? that's why I said earlier "you have no idea how much damage rain can do to our roads". you don't. so try and travel more then you might understand what I am talking about.

DeepSight:
We definitely are . . . . regardless I understand your hesitation believing it, when there are places in this country where they count cattle in census figures . . . .

How to know we are? There are some indices that can tell . . . when you look at mobile subscribers alone, you get an idea (notwithstanding that many people have more than one line - still many more - especially in rural areas, have none at all still). Over 170 Million subscribers as of May 2025. That gives you an idea.

If you look at the voters registered in the last election, almost a hundred million people. . . . all of these give an idea and a hint.

you can not even estimate the number of people using mobile phone service subscriber count. Some people have more than 5 registered phone numbers. Some mobile numbers are registered to devices e.g. vehicle tracking software. Some of us have never owned a mobile device

Nigeria is not up to 200 million. That number is around 100 million or less

Risk. How?

Do you think anyone who has much to lose will embark in this kind of journey? Sit back and enjoy the story.

/

people travel all the time. even people who do not have a needle to their name will never leave their street so i don't know what you are on about. There are risks involved with travel, but you should be able to handle them as a normal adult. If you read through this thread, there is somewhere they had to wait until 9AM because the gates to the city were shut.

Make una try dey travel abeg. Africa is a very big land mass. you have allowed foreigners to lock you in one corner in the name of international border and insecurity. Please travel more.

MeezPat:
2000cfa cannot be 25000 naira please. 1CFA=2.5 naira.Make una sofri

truthhurts2:
Exactly what I was thinking...

you do realise west african CFA (like one of you posted a screeshot of) is different from central african CFA? right? I mean the man that did the exchange physically is telling you what happened in front of him and you in your bedroom are doubting. c'mon now

FULL disclosure: I was also confused when OP shared how much CFA he got at the exchange. Someone's post here reminded me we are talking about Central african CFA. I expected the poster that "researched" to put up a screenshot to at least see that there is more than one CFA on the currency exchange rate table.

Tohsynetita1:

Who's stopping you from being international champion?

Tinubu

anifranklyn67:
You have to understand that the west African CFA which you are referring to is different from the CFA the poster is using which I believe is centra African CFA

With due respect let me enlighten you a little

There are two types of CFA in use in Africa:

1. The west African CFA with ISO code "XOF" and issuing authority being "BCEAO" which is in circulation in about eight African countries

2. The central African CFA with ISO code "XAF" issuing authority is "BEAC" which is in circulation in about 6countries.

You dare not spend Cameroon CFA in Benin Republic, it's practically impossible.

Hope this helps
Knowledge is like onyx, one digs deep to get it

thank you bro. I was confused for a bit when I saw OP's first conversion rate. I totally forgot we are dealing with a different CFA

ravensckar:
Nasarawa to Adamawa too far for me!

My grandma died, I didn't attend her funeral because of the fear of travelling. When my wife's grandma died afterwards, nobody bothered to stress me because they knew I wouldn't travel.

Even to travel home for Sallah, I no dey try am.

I used to enjoy travelling before, but insecurity and all the unpalatable stories have made me detest it. 7 years running, I never comot for Lagos.

Here's someone living his dream!

#Covers_Face.

so you are a prisoner in Lagos? poor you

Judolisco:
u don't wonder why some states in North have better road infrastructures than some so called oil producing states in the south, especially south south, when I see some SS people complaining about other people stealing their oil money, I tell them to better hold their governors responsible, a state like jigawa should not be looking more advanced than bayelsa or delta...... U r right about the emptiness though... I still don't believe we are up to 200 million people in Nigeria.... U can travel for more than 3 hours in Niger state without seeing a significant village or town

let me tell you why northern Nigeria states have better roads than southern Nigerian states. are you ready?

Rain

you have no idea how much damage rain can cause to our roads. A shabbily built road in the North will last longer than a less shody one done inn the southern nigeria states for the same reason. Swap the weather for 5 years and I can assure you, none of the northern roads will last 2 rainy seasons.

Human corruption is no match for the forces of nature.

Ibime:
Some people get mind sha

Maiduguri to South Sudan

As in how?

stop limiting your mind with invisible border lines drawn on paper. the day you decide to travel outside your village is the day you know there is so much in this world
