"According to a senator who attended the meeting, senators agreed to pass a resolution condemning the coup and to commend ECOWAS leaders on their efforts to restore constitutional order in Niger, but they ruled out military options."

Smart move by the Nigerian lawmakers. This action saves lives and the destruction of property. It would have been a disaster if the Nigerian lawmakers had endorsed Bola Tinubu reckless decision. Over 200 Nigerians are getting kidnapped daily in Nigeria without Nigerian government help to rescue these people. Boko Haram has killed over 500,000 in the past 2 years without end insights. And Bola Tinubu wants to start a war? Dumb decision by Bola Tinubu. Nigerian soldiers are the worst trained in the world. They are poorly equipped. I write to praise the Nigerian lawmakers for showing independent from a Bola Tinubu and not allowed themselves to be dragged into muddy and endless war.
Great way to think and act. Praise the lord!

In this period of international conflict, all Nigerians & our political leaders must unite and collectively rise in defence of our Sovereign state.

I disagree. Why? Nigeria has no business meddling in the internal affairs of other nations. President Bazoum was installed by buhari. That in my opinion is not democracy. Besides, Nigeria cannot even defeat boko Haram in Nigeria and we want to take on a foreign force. It is laughable.

"He maintained that Tinubu having personally admitted and as also confirmed by his witness that he forfeited $460,000 to the American government over the offence of narcotics trafficking and money laundering has no basis to contest for Nigeria’s Presidency."

Atiku Abubakar problem now is he is not staying on a winning message--hurting his chances for runoff at the election tribunal.
Atiku Abubakar can win a runoff election with Bola Tinubu if he stays on one message. The message i want Atiku to stay is Bola Tinubu got 19% in the federal capital, Abuja instead of 25% required in the constitution. He should hammer Bola Tinubu failure to meet the constitutional requirement -- to get the ears of election tribunal judges. Fine of $460,000 over drug issues has been ligated during the election and voters did not buy it. So, my advice to Atiku, leave drug issue alone, and talk about constitutional requirement. The election tribunal is going to rule on whether any candidate on February 25, 2023 meets the constitutional requirement of February 25, 2023 presidential election or not. in my humble opinion no candidate meets the constitutional threshold---meaning no candidate was duly elected.
Right now, i am betting on runoff election between the two top votes getters---Bola vs Atiku.

"The former Vice President maintained that Tinubu had lost the moral and legal rights to be in office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, having admitted a punitive forfeiture of $406,000 in a narcotics and money laundering-related matter."

Rubbish argument by Atiku Abubakar! Why? Atiku is abandoning constitutional requirement --which is the central argument in his appeal to talk about stupid thing. The election tribunal is not going to nullify election based on immoral behavior of Bola Tinubu. The election tribunal is going to nullify Bola Tinubu election because he failed to meet the criteria stated in the 1999 constitution of Nigeria. In the election, Tinubu got 19% in the federal territory, Abuja instead of 25% required. So my advice to Atiku Abubakar is stick with the criteria as described in the 1999 constitution of Nigeria if you want election tribunal to decide this case in your favor. And stop flip flopping your position on the central reason for your appeal..
Okay?

"President Bola Tinubu has appealed to justices of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PREPEC) in Abuja to exclude the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, and his party in the event of any rerun presidential election, claiming that only him and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, are constitutionally qualified to recontest."

100% true!
First time Bola Tinubu has said something to make me agree 100%. There will be no rerun election in Nigeria, but there will be runoff election. According to the 1999 constitution of Nigeria, where no candidate is declared winner in election, the top two votes getters shall be selected for runoff election. In that sense, I don't see Peter obi allowed in runoff election. So why is Peter Obi in the court challenging election results continue to raise more questions than answers. Peter Obi should stop his court cases to enable Mr Atiku Abubakar to begin the process of runoff election.

"Barring any last minute change, President Bola Tinubu is expected to send the list of ministerial nominees to the Senate for screening this week.

Bola Tinubu should wait till election tribunal rules on all election issues before naming his ministers. He did not win 2023 presidential election. He got 19% in Abuja Instead 25% required by the law. I predict runoff election between Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar. The last thing Nigeria needs now is creating doubt about who is the president of Nigeria. Right now, Bola Tinubu is not Nigeria president. EU,Nigerian election observers and American government have raised many doubts about the outcome of 2023 presidential election in Nigeria. That alone speaks for itself.

WrongNumber wrote "FYI Tinubu came distant third.er "

Not true! Yours is southeast argument--that is not going to be debated at all.
Bola Tinubu was by votes count number one. He was followed by Atiku Abubakar. Peter Obi was a distant third place finisher. Now, the 1999 constitution of Nigeria states that where no clear winner emerges after the election, the two top votes getters should be selected for runoff election. No rule should be bent here in favor of any candidates if the constitution is to be respected.

"President Bola Tinubu has warned that nullifying the February 25 election that produced him as president, on account of the fact that he did not score 25% of the lawful votes cast during the election in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) could “lead to absurdity, chaos, anarchy and alteration of the very intention of the legislature."

100 % a lie! There will be no negative impact nullifying Bola Tinubu election. None whatsoever. Instead, judicial integrity of Nigeria will be restored and the integrity of Nigeria election process will be upheld. When Bola Tinubu was announced as election winner , I rejected the outcome. My reason was Bola Tinubu got 19% in Abuja Instead 25% required. That was the ground for an appeal.

So,I am anxiously waiting for runoff election between Bola Tinubu and Artiku Abubakar. The winner in runoff election will unify Nigeria and end further doubt who Nigeria president is. I Can't wait!

Who among you in this forum and is knowledgeable in Nigeria gun laws?
Here is my question: do Nigerian citizens need a license to purchase gun a gun?
If your answer is yes, why Emmefields didn't apply apply to purchase a gun license?

"The Senate on Thursday at plenary confirmed the appointment of Service Chiefs, nominated by President Bola Tinubu."
Insignificant action! And here is why. Nigerian lawmakers are illiterate. All the so called service chiefs are bribe takers. A proper vetting process will have uncovered the crimes committed by these guys over the years and caused them to be rejected.

"Rivers State Commissioner for transport, Dr. Jacobson Nbina said the Palliative bus is totally free and It will run for three years."

Good governing by the rivers state government. Rivers state citizens finally have a
government that works for the citizens. But why is it going to be for only three years? It should be permanent or subsidized at discount prices for the citizens. It will create jobs and provide real savings for the citizens.i am from Akwa Ibom state. For years I have advocated subsidized public transportation for the citizens of Akwa Ibom state and got ignored by the state government. The reason is Akwa Ibom has no government that works for the citizens. That is why public transportation has not been provided for citizens. Public transportation transportation moves people and goods from one place to another. And that means jobs for locals. It also means saving for raining days. So I write to thank the rivers state government for finally doing something for its citizens and I hope other states government in Nigeria will follow this kind of program.

President Bola Tinubu dress code makes Nigeria and Nigerians look bad at world stage. He looks too old. He makes himself a laughing matter. When I first saw Tinubu in an agbada outfits, I thought I was looking at a cobweb. And please don't feel bad about what I just said because it is the truth. Do you guys hear me?

Is this image Of Bola Tinubu what Nigerians are going to live with for the next four years?

The president of the State of Birland, HRM Dr. Emir Haiyawi, has appointed a Nigerian, Amb. Prof. Joseph Legend Mfon, FIMC, CMC, FIOGR, as the Minister of Environment of the State of Birland." "

President Emir Halyawi has made a big mistake here in the appointment of the Nigerian man into his cabinet. Because of this appointment, about half a million Nigerians will migrate to that country in the next six months. And one year from now, the population of nigerians in Birland will rise 2 millions. There is history to support my prediction. In 1975, Gambia experienced oils boom and needed manpower to help to develop the country. One mistake Gambia made, the president of Gambia came to Nigeria and asked Nigerians to come and help. Within six months , millions of Nigerians flooded Gambia. What was the result? Today, Gambia is the poorest nation in West Africa.

"Garba Shehu, a former spokesperson for ex-President Muhammadu Buhari has explained that the former Nigerian leader put petrol subsidy removal and the unification of the country’s foreign exchange rates on hold “for a better time”.

Bola Tinubu indecisive attitude puts Nigeria economic future in danger. It is very concerning. Back when Bola Tinubu emerged APC flag bearer, he could not decide on his running mate for months. Then when he finally decided on his running mate, the result was a disaster in my view. He picked a well-known Islamic terrorist by the name Shettima . Shettima has connection with Many terrorist organizations in Nigeria and beyond. In 2014 when Shettima was the governor of Borno state and over 200 school girls were kidnapped by a terrorist group known as Boko Haram, Shettima was the first to issue a statement acknowledging the whereabouts of missing the kidnapped girls.

So when Bola Tinubu picked Shettima as his running mate, he was well aware of this fact about Shettima background. Next, less than 30 minutes of taking office as the president of Nigeria on May 29 2023 , President Bola Tinubu issued a statement calling for an end to oil subsidy.
Today, just one month of taking office, Bola Tinubu has changed his mind and instead restate oils subsidy program . That kind of economic policy for Nigeria shows evidence of failed leadership. So, I call for Bola Tinubu resignation, ASAP.

"The source added that already, the 22 senators have held series of meetings in Abuja and London, where they affirmed their resolve to decamp to the PDP."

Report from the Nigerian newspapers is not always reliable----leading me to question its authentication. For example, before Senate election, which resulted in Akpabio favor, Reports were all over the Nigerian newspapers suggesting that senators who supported Akpabio had changed their minds and would support Yari instead. Was that true? The short answer is no. Akpabio ended up winning by 17 votes . So, this Report of PDP taking over is in my opinion fake. Akpabio will remain Senate president still 2027.
Who disagree?

"Please I need help with a permanent cure for Bad breath (Mouth Odour)."

First, before i offer you my advice on how to get rid of your mouth odors, I want to tell you that there is no permanent cure for any thing . And second, only you can can solve your mouth odors.
Now here is my advice:

#1. Eat apples at least once a day
#2. Take shower before bed time, then
[b]#3. After eating your last food for the day, rub your stomach with peppermint oil every day before bed time. If you follow these three tips ,our mouth odors will go away.

■ I heard people mention dentists. That is a lie. Mouth odors have nothing to do with dental hygiene.
■ Foods we eat have lots of gas. That is where mouth odors come from

Do you hear me?

"We wish to unequivocally dismiss any such rumour or sponsored story planted in any medium that Rivers State APC had at any forum invited Mr Wike to join our party none the least calling on Wike to take over leadership of a party he never campaigned for. We dare anyone to provide video evidence of any campaigns where Mr Wike openly campaigned for the APC. The terror unleashed on our party members in the cause of his eight years maximum rulership alone is enough evidence to confirm that Wike has no business with Rivers State APC. Asking him to come and take over is asking an enemy to come and finish off his victims."

Write to thank Rivers state APC for distancing itself from any association with Nyesom Wike. Nyesom Wike is a distraction. He is not a builder, he is destroyer. What Nyesom Wike did to PDP and Atiku Abubakar during 2023 presidential election-- creating division within PDP, which led to Atiku Abubakar losing election to Bola Tinubu cannot be forgiven and forgotten. Any political party which accepts Nyesom Wike into their organization will meet the same faith. He is a mad man. He does not tolerate opposition. He cannot accept defeat. That kind of behavior represents evil. And call on Nigerians to disassociate themselves from Nyesom Wike wickedness. He is a mad man!

Shettima "Vice President @KashimSM stressed that the Federal Government is “committed to eradicating variant polio virus by the end of the year ensuring that every Nigerian child is covered in the routine immunization campaign"

Here, we go again! When a Nigerian government official speaks, it makes me have headache. During the 2015 presidential campaign in Nigeria, former president, Mr. Buhari promised among other things to end corruption before corruption killed Nigeria, make N1 =$1, destroy Boko Haram, create 20 million jobs. Which of those promises did Buhari achieve after 8 years in office? The short answer is none. So, don't believe Nigerian politicians, and especially those from the north--like Shettima. He is a liar. In 2014 when Shettima was the governor of Borno state, and 200 schools were kidnapped by Boko Haram, Gov. Shettima was the first to announce to the whole world about knowing where the kidnapped girls were. why? Many reports later showed Shettima ordered the kidnapping of those school girls to stop re-election of president Jonathan Goodluck. And he succeeded. That is why you cannot trust Kashim Shettima--he is terrorist.

How Tinubu became president:

"The Labour Party and its Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, on Monday, accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), of frustrating its petition challenging the result of the February 25 presidential election."

What is Peter Obi trying to achieve? He was never closed to winning 20 2023 presidential election. Bola Tinubu came first, Atiku Abubakar was second and Peter Obi came third , according to INEC election results. If you follow the 1999 constitution of Nigeria as amended--- it states that where election result provides no winner, runoff election shall be be held between the two highest votes getters. In this case, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar are true beneficial of runoff election.

So, what is Peter Obi trying to achieve by his continuous litigation at election Tribunal?
He has hidden agenda. Peter Obi goal from day one was to deny Atiku Abubakar victory. Why? Because Atiku Abubakar victory in 2023 would have exposed the fact that Peter Obi was the the reason Atiku Abubakar lost in 2019 to buhari. He now thinks Atiku Abubakar can win runoff election against Bola Tinubu. He wants to stop any possibility for election Tribunal calling for runoff election between Atiku and Tinubu. That is Peter Obi goal. But he will fail, 100%.

I disagree!
In what way US spending is at the detriment of their citizens?
Listen, when US spends money, it boost local economy. How? The US foreign aid doesn't include cash. It is made of products made here in America. US aid to Ukraine is exclusively military hardware. Companies which make military hardware profit from these kinds of contracts.
Because money budgeted for foreign aid comes US treasury, contracts are awarded to companies which produce products requested in the foreign aid. That creates jobs for locals. Local companies hire citizens to make these products--which are then shipped to Ukraine

"The lawmaker-elect, who is from the South-South, however, confirmed that leaders of the APC have started backtracking on Senator Akpabio’s choice in the face of new realities, which have been worsened by Akpabio’s alleged cold relationship with many lawmakers of the 9th Assembly."

Given record of Akpabio combative attitudes, it would not be a surprise if someone else gets the Senate president job other than Akpabio. Akpabio is a very rude person. He has conquered and destroyed attitudes in the management of Peoples business. He does not believe anybody can win except Akpabio. It started in 1999--the birthday of ongoing democracy in Nigeria. At the beginning of democracy in 1999 when former governor of Akwa Ibom state, Mr Victor Attah appointed Akpabio into his cabinet, Akpabio showed no respect and appreciation for his boss. While serving under Attah administration, Akpabio began to undermine Attah leadership by organizing people inside Attah administration to disobey Attah policies . His goals were to takeover from Attah. Glad he failed. However, in 207 after he rigged his way into governor office, he began to invite foreign leaders to Akwa Ibom state and walked them on red carpet as if he was the president of Nigeria .
When military officials noticed that, they sent letters of complaints to Goodluck Jonathan administration. Had Akpabio become Senate president, he would be acting as president of Nigeria. So I am on the side of people opposing Akpabio candidacy, 100%

"The group includes: Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (leader), Samuel Ioarer Ortom, Ifeanyi Lawrence Ugwuanyi and Okezie Victor - All former Governors of Rivers, Benue, Enugu and Abia States respectively."

Call them great Satan! Inclusion of any them in an organization will end in a disaster. And especially Nyesom Wike--a failed presential candidate. When Wike was a rivers state governor, he spent 8 years fighting his successor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi. Many times when Mr. Amaechi wanted to visit his family in rivers state, troops numbering 200 plus from the Nigerian Army were dispatched by president Buhari to protect him from then, governor wike. After Wike lost his presidential bid and Atiku Abubakar refused to pick him as his running mate, he went astray. Still today, wike never recovered. Yes, character matters. If bola Tinubu wants a successful Nigeria, is partnership with these gang of thugs the answer? Inquiry minds want to know.

"Ukraine is seeking to restore and strengthen its relations with Africa and will open 10 new embassies on the continent, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said."

God forbid! African countries should reject Ukraine diplomatic move, outright. Russia has been Africans best friends for years. Russia support African countries against apartheid in South africa. And during Ukraine war with the Russian, Ukrainian border guards forced African students to the back of lines as they attempted to leave the country, raising a furor over racism and discrimination. President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, which has 4,000 students in Ukraine, decried the reports, according to article titled "Shunned by others, Russians friends in Africa by Declan Watsh and & John Eligon (March3, 2022). And more importantly, Russia has propped up shaky regimes in Africa--leading to many african governments not falling or slipping into failed states

That is why Africa cannot support Ukraine.

"Atiku who was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the disputed February 25 presidential election, had called his first subpoenaed witness at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPEC) to tender some sensitive documents but the move was vehemently opposed.

Atiku Abubakar keeps disappointing me! Why does this man keep wasting his time and money to pursue something that will never change. Nigeria is a criminal enterprise--outcome of the Nigerian election was bought before election even took place. That is why i have two advise to offer Mr. Atiku Abubakar. First, instead of wasting your money on stupid lawyers, you should use the money to fund homeless shelters for the needed. And second, Adamawa state has many poorly built schools. Use the money you have to build new schools and remodel existing ones to give young kids opportunities to learn and acquire skills for future jobs. And look at this:

Tablaturner" The match may be tough but I hope the boys can keep their head high so victory will be sure."
