Tinubu would not be driving in 200 convoy cars or flying private if he cared about carbon emissions

flokii:
I pity those coup plotters honestly.. they don't know warfare has gone beyond physical show of force. If not for the conventions that prohibit use of chemical and biological weapons, Niger republic for know wetin hit them when scientists enter lab and re-engineer viruses and biological agents.

Too many fools on nairaland. Who told you a chemical war has a guaranteed winner? Do you know who Niger would be able to win over in the long run that would give them chemicals to use against their enemies who are non other than Nigerians?

Death dey hungry you abi?

Goodvibes007:
And they lost $100m dollars in aid to fight jihadis as a result.

Canada has pulled out its funding. France has pulled out its military.

Russia has condemned the coup and called it anti- constitutional.

Turkey, Italy, Germany would follow suit

ECOWAS would stop sending aid, AU would stop sending aid.

The jihadis are celebrating.

Only a fool believes these people are FUNDING anything. They don't give where they can't take. Only foolish puppet African countries take aids because no African country actually needs one

Obaofaba:
Good!!!

The main reason I voted for the president is because he's the boss of all bosses, you can't remote control him.

He's not gonna be weakling president who's gonna be teleguided like some people's Messiah who's a poster boy for the Pandora paper.

Asiwaju got the balls and his balls are well and alive.

A man that slow Biden and macron are remoting like a zombie lol

You run a private military company? Who registered you and in which country? If you're registered in a country other than Nigeria, do you have permission to operate in Nigeria?

Quintessence44:
This whole thing is nonsensical.

If Chicago state uni says that ‘a certain Bola A Tinubu’ graduated from there, then he did.

How many women go by the name Bola A Tinubu?

I don’t even know of any other family named Tinubu.

It's not as simple as that. If it was that simple, why has he been jittery? And why has the school been evasive?

It's obvious the US government is protecting him from day one because he's a goldmine to US - they'll use him to capture the whole Africa region. He's desperate and they have his dirty files. They'll never release it until he's of no use to them

allthingsgood:
what is your business with whether he graduated
The University has already confirmed it tho

The university said "A certain Bola A. Tinubu" graduated from the school. If he and the school don't have anything to hide, why are they jittery?

And it's his business business he's a Nigerian

Putinofrussia:
We have read all this nonsense tire,jareh.
It is all balderdash.USA doesn't joke with drugs.
If you a druggie,you do the time..
All the cases on this drug matter have been thrown out and certified a no case by both USA and Nigeria.
They just threw it out again now.
STALE BALDERDASH.

CIA push the most drugs in the world. They deal with all the drug cartels and front war on drugs for political reasons. The US government is a mafia organization and they're very much involved in drug trafficking and gun running - supplying to cartels of the underworld. Some of these ventures are not done solely for the profit, but for political reasons

raskymonojendor:
I am even suprised AirFrance was even still flying into Mali. Mali that half of the country has been taken over by jihadists, and the useless coup plotters in power are busy jailing everyone that speaks against them.


African Union, Russia, the West e.t.c are all against the coup plotters in Niger republic.

Talk about your country that's been taken over by Fulani herdsmen

grandstar:
Did I tell you I like or hate the man? I am apolitical.
My interest in these issues arise due to my love for economics.

The fact the man even supported Buhari irritated me. Buhari was a complete disaster to the nation's economy.

I am not partisan

Then why do you assume they're witch hunting him? Isn't the senate a body created to protect the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians? Hasn't the senate also been known for being ruthless when their power and interest is on the line? Let's assume the senate are not interested in protecting the interest of common Nigerians, they're very much ruthless when their power is ridiculed. The only reason he'll go off this hook is his relationship with the power that be. He's not targeted for that relationship or whatever he did more than a decade ago

Obaofaba:
Now I see...

Well, well, well.

This is scandalous, if anything is learnt in this whole bruohaha, I think it's the fact that we must be mindful of our social media posts.

The rule is, don't go overboard except you are criticising terrorists like ipob terrorists, Boko Haram or bandits disturbing the peace of the nation.

So the lesson you learnt is that Nigerians should no longer criticize their erring politicians including those found to be thieving in broad daylight?

What's overboard in her post?

Biodun556:
Although he gandollard, Ganduje still the best in the north in terms infrastructure

Let's be mindful of our social media posts.

Is it right for Maryam Shetty to be seeking political appointment from people she does like?
She should have rejected the offer, if truly she was sincere with her post on social media

So the lesson you learnt is that Nigerians should no longer criticize their erring politicians including those found to be thieving in broad daylight?

Yet, Mr tinubu is obsessed with Niger

grandstar:
Keyamo would definitely be a controversial nominee.

His work as a human rights activist would have meant stepping on many toes. He was also Buhari's boy and did not shy from confrontations with others.

Some of the toes he stepped on directly or indirect or simply those who don't like him will fill the senate.

At the end of the day, I am certain he will be nominated a minister.

Aint you ashamed typing this? Keyamo and human right? When last was he involved in human rights?

Burob:
Sharap, let them hold their cocoa, The Ivory Coast no 2 cocoa nation, and Nigeria no 3 cocoa nation, are waiting to take their market share in the international market.

It is with mouth you want to turn cocoa to finished product, they will force Nestle Switzerland to come & open factory in Accra, why did Nestle go & open a brand new facility in South Africa 2 weeks ago, and not Ghana?

Is Nestle the only cocoa processing company? And why can't nestle open a chocolate factory in Ghana? Anyway, that's not the point. My point has always been consistent from the beginning. Ghana insisted that they'll no longer export raw cocoa to Europe because it's a colonial style trading system that's not beneficial to them - they want to start processing into finished products and this did not go down well with EU. Immediately this announcement was made, all the ratings agencies gave Ghana the lowest ratings in their platform and Ghana's economy nosedived in no time.

Burob:
Nonsense, it is quite obvious you don’t know what is happening in Ghana, or anything about basic economics.

Ghana will not sell cocoa to Nestle of Switzerland, then who will they sell their rotten cocoa to?

You're so ignorant. If you're informed, you'll know how Ghana was making some changes in the processing and refining of their resources especially their cocoa. Even their president mentioned it numerous times that they don't have any intention to keep on exporting raw cocoa as they're putting mechanism in place to start turning it into finished products which did not go well with the EU which is their major market.

nairalanda1:
You haven't been listening to the news..lately

Ghana , right now, is about to take an IMF bailout. Things are hard there. And as a result they are following instructions from the IMF

The problem with Ghana , as with many African countries, is that their major source of income is cocoa, gold, and so forth. The problem with all these sources is that Ghana does not set the price. As a result, most of the time, the prices are low. Very low. Meaning that Ghana often times gets broke....and has to take loans. Then in the last 3 years, covid happened. Revenues fell so badly that Ghana is in deep trobule. Then there is the issue with rising prices and cost of living.

IMF is not wrecking Ghana's economy. Most of us in this continent think we can make a living by selling raw materials, instead of using the raw materials to make things the world needs.

Nigeria has discovered deposits of lithum. And we are refusing to use the thing to start a local battery industry that could make billions for our land. Instead we wan sell am, and we would earn far less...but no.

You obviously don't know what's happening in Ghana. It's the opposite of what you said. Ghana insisted they'll no longer sell cocoa to the EU and that was the genesis of their problem.

Burob:
Simon Ekpa is in Finland, Nnamdi Kanu is seeking help from the United Kingdom?

Na confirmed hypocrisy they worry you, reach foreign embassy tomorrow morning 5am, Na you go dey front line.

What's my business with Ekpa and KANU? And what does embassy have to do with my comment?

omohayek:
If you can't even tell the difference between international financial bodies like the IMF and the World Bank, and privately run, profit-seeking credit agencies like S&P, you have no business prattling on and on about any (utterly imaginary) conspiracy to keep Africa down.

You're just so ignorant. I made my fortune from trading the financial market. I'm not a novice. I understand these market. I understand these things. Those things you call private are not private. They're not independent. All international bodies and regulatory bodies are an arm of the western powers.

handwork of IMF and World bank. If you refuse to follow their recommendations, they put you on negative, but if you follow their recommendations, they put you on positive immediately. But time has shown that their recommendations has never been in Africa's interest in the long run.


This is exactly why they almost destroyed Ghana's economy last year because the president refused to follow their recommendations of dealing with EU. They claimed Ghana doesn't have the resources to refine his own resources and must deal with EU that's capable, else they'll blacklist them and they actually carried out their threats

Sheggy13:
Don't make me laugh please. The only degree Obi has is the Second Class Lower in Philosophy he got from UNN. The 10 pages you're talking about are simply those short courses and certificates from those 2 weeks - 2 months trainings anyone with money can enroll in those Havard Business School, Oxford Business school bla bla. Nothing special about that. Even Dino Melaye have those.

Apart from the the forged certificate Tinubu is parading, does Tinubu have a Primary school certificate? If he did, there would be no reason for him to be changing his primary and secondary school election that he contest. The only reason Chicago university is protecting him is because the US government wants to use his dirty files in their custody to blackmail him into becoming their puppet - an opportunity they wouldn't want to lose. Buhari entered the army with just a referral letter and although he was sent to several courses, he failed all. If Obi is going to do courses in Harvard business school, Oxford business school, MIT and all the top tier schools in Europe and America, it shows how much interested he is on self development.

Do you think he can not go for masters or PhD? He doesn't need master for anything neither does he need the title. He identify a skill he has to acquire and register specifically for that experience

AfonjaScud:
What is the academic record of Atiku and Obi. What pride is there in their academic records ? None ! Let the fools stop disturbing us with innanities.

Don't even go on Obi's own. His own cover ten pages. Or you're going by the third class fabrication by Agbadorians?

What is happening here is, America is defending Tinubu but it's for a selfish reason. They have all his dirty files and will use it as a blackmail tool - they don't want to miss this opportunity

AntiMarxist:
Ohu, there is a multinational body called the Niger Basin Authority which has signed agreements on how to manage the waterways with Nigeria being the only nation allowed to dam the river downstream and from there supply power to nations upstream.

Foolish gidgiddy is the one making you fools have this mindset.

If countries upstream had damned the Niger River upstream, do you think Onistha will be clamouring for a port today ?

Ewus.

Are you normal? When one party to an agreement breaks his side, then there's no longer an agreement. How does your brain even work?

jackcanfield:
We did not ask you not to liberate your country from Colonial agreement, i am personally against all Mali's Gold ending in France Vault, but then it should be a collective agreement . The people must agree, not the Junta ..

This agreements get Kleg ... Uncle Bola it seems we will only deal with Niger economically because it is what it is, but militarily we wait till they abolish what needs to be abolish.. we sha can't do Africa Intratrade if some country feels held back from been competitive. A very stupid agreement if it is true, those who signed it should be knocked on the head ...

You're an idiot for that your first paragraph.

This senate is 100% rubber stamp, but nothing interest above every other things. When it goes against the interest of the North, they will deny you - especially if you're not from the North. They're not fools. They know Tinubu is on a desperate move for legitimacy, to please the West and also to make a political statement because he's scared of being deposed as well, but to the northerners, northern interest comes first

When the time comes, we know who will support who. Russia is definitely not sending troops, but Wagner are ready to go. Russia never sent troops to Africa - that is Wagner's department

LifestyleTonite:
Igbo people have exposed themselves so badly. Go on Twitter and Facebook and see the way they are freely expressing their hate for Nigeria. The whole thing has gotten out of hand that neutral Nigerians have seen them for who they are.

Just check the names attached to anti-Nigeria comments, they are usually from South-Easterners. This is unlike nairaland where real names are not used.

How can you be glad that a neighbouring country that is not fit to lace your country's shoes is insulting your country? Yet, you want your son Peter Obi to rule over the same Nigeria. You can't wish evil on a company and still want to be its boss. If you curse the ground, the curses will follow you everywhere as long as you walk on it.

Yes, Northern senators may oppose military intervention based on genuine reasons, but deep down, they are happy about the coup going on in West Africa because it means if such happens in Nigeria, the West won't have any strong country in the region to help restore democracy. It also means that one of their sons will become the military leader because they are the majority in the military. Remember their born-to-rule mentality. Once that happens, their evil Islamization agenda will be unstoppable.

Right now, Southern Nigeria is able to stop RUGA and other land grabbing legislations they've been pushing. But under a junta, no lawmaker will exist to oppose such move. They will simply take land from different regions and hand them to the Fulani who are mostly from Niger and Mali. Sadly, Igbo people can't seem to see this because their hatred for Yoruba people has blinded them. Only a blind man will say the hate doesn't exist. Your land which isn't much in the South-East can't be taken and handed to cattle herders all in the name of RUGA. Those cattle herders will breed like roaches and take over your land. You won't even have the luxury of Twitter to voice your grouse under a junta.

What annoys me the most is that it is 95% confirmed that there are no opposing Igbo voice to the nauseating attitude the tribe is displaying on social media. Sadly, even the elders like Peter Obi, Ezekwesili and their celebrities hold the same horrible mindset and are no more scared of voicing their hatred and greed for other people's success and land. At this point, I just conclude that they are all the same and can never be trusted. That's why they can't get to the presidency.

Those of use who have been on nairaland since 2013 are not surprise by their current display on social media. When they started tribal slurs and taunting other Nigerians because Goodluck Jonathan gave them an edge, we all thought the comments were just coming from riff raffs in their region. But now, we can see that even the highly educated ones and those in position of power who ought to know better are no different.

The best part is that every other Nigerian can now see them clearly. It is now clear that they hate the country and the reason is because they can't function without hating on something. If they were a country, they will hate on themselves, which they actually do; it's just that hating on other Nigerians gives them a false unity.

I would have advised the Igbo to retrace their steps but I've come to realize that they were never without hatred, so they have nothing to retrace. They can keep it up while other Nigerians move forward.

If you hate them so much why not let them go with their five eastern states?

AllenSpencer:
No democratic nation will support a coup!

Russia and China are dictatorship nations and why they will always support such move.


Africa will NEVER return to dictatorship! History taught us a big lesson!

But the champions of democracy are known for sponsoring coup and arming rebel groups against governments they're not able to control. So your claim is completely false

Wainey:
Niger does not have what it takes to stand ECOWAS.
Also I don't want this war on Niger, they are trying to find a govt that will suit them, but I seriously don't want them to think a military dictator is better than a democratic govt.

I think they have to look for a voice in Democracy than settling for military rule

You must be the biggest fool to assume it's Ecomog vs Niger. Such ignorance emanating from you folks

Wainey:

You're too ignorant. When a war starts, that's when you know who you're fighting.

I don't care about your looks but I hate you for being an evil woman. A lot of evil emanates from you and may your evil bring destruction upon you. It's very natural that an evil woman like you would support the one you supported.
