Shinedu go and listen to wise elders close to you if you have any! A lot of Nigeria’s are making the country proud, everything is not leaders! How have you made your country proud?? What innovations/impact have you brought in your immediate environment, if any of this answer is zero then you need to start blaming people populating other country’s with drugs and claiming and deceiving people that they are hardworking !

I will respond to this tribal outburst directly.
First, what exactly compelled you to address me as “Shinedu”? Why is your reflex response to criticism of government or leadership to drag the Igbo identity into it? When faced with a simple observation or complaint, why do you instinctively search for an ethnic scapegoat?

Do you seriously believe Nigeria consists only of Igbos, Yorubas, and Hausa/Fulani, or is this just intellectual laziness disguised as tribal defensiveness?

As for “impact,” I am under no obligation as a private citizen to justify my existence or list my contributions to you. One, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. Two, you’re not asking in good faith. You’re only fishing for ammunition to fuel yet another tribal rant.

Whether you like it or not, successive governments are largely responsible for the poor image Nigerians face abroad. This is not opinion; it is reality staring us in the face: lack of transparency, zero accountability, entrenched corruption, and a shameful indifference to the insecurity ravaging the country. The list goes on.

Fix the rot at the head, and the body will heal. Until then, spare us the tribal deflections, they solve nothing.

...Secondly he waves around a 3rd world flag as if it is worthy of respect...

Our leaders have turned us into a laughing stock. Many people genuinely hold this view, even if only a few are bold enough to express it publicly.

Try harder. From PDP to APC to PDP to ADC to NOM. Atiku will catch nothing as usual. He is described in Obasanjo's book as a thief. Atiku has neither publicly denied that or gone to court to sue Obasanjo for libel. In the result it is true that Atiku is corrupt and a thief!
You guys do not love Nigeria. The educated know that. That Tax initiative is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria in recent times. Nigerians generally don't pay tax and is one big reason they take voting and accountability by elected government officials lightly. Its implementation will make Nigerians more politically conscious and demanding of accountability from elected officials who mismanage the finances of Nigeria. You cannot be paying tax and not be interested in how it is used. Before now the tax net in Nigeria was loose.

Nigerians are united on this. No self seeking druglord will turn Nigeria into his private estate. We will heavily resist him. This is just the begining.

Everything about the tax initiative is shrouded in vagueness no concrete benefits or timelines to see benefits only out to take from the vulnerable masses. Worst of all Timlubu is partnering with France to implement this travesty. They cannot even make public the details of the MOA signed.

Obi can never deputise Atiku, that ship has long sailed. Its Obi or nothing.

A New Nigeria free of corruption and mindless embezzlement of public funds is POssible.

Goke7:
He’s telling you how America will continue to muscle their way and even sponsor terrorism to do their bidding you’re still arguing 😂 na wa for una

Bros our government had 15 years to stem this insecurity but failed. So I dont blame any country taking advantage of our stewpidity and lack of will power.

Can America try this with Malaysia
Put your house in order and you won't have to worry about outsiders.

casualobserver:
America is not here for Christians, America is here for America….that means money….it’s all they care about.


Those pushing a christian genocide agenda who think America is here to protect them will be disappointed. Similarly on the govt side those who are celebrating because Riley took pictures with Ribadu will equally be disappointed.

America has an ambassador in Nigeria, their ambassador is not here to take pictures. This is the same America that was compiling intel reports on Aliko Dangote as far back as his early 20s when he was just a regular businessman. They have intelligence on Nigeria, they know more about Nigeria than we do.

Riley is not here on a fact finding mission. It’s just optics. They have already concluded that Christian genocide is the leverage they are going to use to muscle their way into Nigeria and that is going to be the conclusion of their report. Did you see Riley visit any mosques or Muslim hit areas? That tells you he is not interested in truth but the appearance of fact finding.

They will submit a report that there is Christian genocide and they will use it as leverage to muscle their way into favorable economic deals. If they do t get their way, they will fund the terrorists they have been funding and use it to create more mayhem in order to reinforce their narrative.

America doesn’t care about Christian killings. Nigerian Christians are not white christians, If more Christian’s have to die to give America more leverage they will facilitate more Christian deaths. That’s how America rolls.

Your opinions are valid because we are all entitled to one. Can you in the same breathe and depth explain why the government is allowing the killings in Nigeria to persist?

We have IDP camps with displaced people, we have people seething from the pain of loosing their loved ones, properties and ancestral lands yet the government is turning a blind eye.

Fix your country and you won't attract the attention of others who donot mean well for your people

The comments from Bashir Ahmed are becoming increasingly frustrating. It is widely understood that Nigeria is an artificial construct created during British colonial rule, and the resulting lack of cohesion continues to affect the country today.

This disconnect is part of why violence in certain regions persists without accountability or empathy for its victims. Nigeria urgently needs structural reforms and stronger consequences for those who enable or participate in terrorism so that the value of human life is upheld across all parts of the country.

Your democracy is a bad joke!
Kai! This one enter because its the plain honest truth.

kayjordan:
The Nigerian Senate will and should approve his nomination on the basis of work-skills only - as long he hasn't violated any law, he is worthy of any nomination.

I am not surprised here. You guys have dropped the ball so bad that you now accept mediocrity as a standard.
Only recently Ezra co-founder of Paystack got terminated owing to tweets he made some 10 years ago. Let that sink in, perception is everything.

Just pull up Reno's past tweets.

Reno mockery, are you trying to spin this. Awon Wendel Spin Smith. Sorry, the Senate approves this travesty then Nigeria is gone because subsequent government will appoint the most despicable amongst us to represent us.

Talk is super cheap.

Now you have the opportunity to implement the strategy you gave to Expresident Jonathan.

The ⏰️ is ticking, cradle rockers are snatching babies from their nurseries.

It is both astonishing and disheartening to see a segment of society celebrating this court ruling. While terrorists are actively kidnapping and murdering innocent people in their own communities, these individuals are more invested in a legal spectacle. Their priorities are not just misplaced; they are a profound and disturbing failure of moral judgment.

Nigerians are taking notes.

This sentence sweet me die. My long awaited moment.

I so much love this. I won't lie.

Justice for the blood of the innocent Christians and every family or family members killed in the South East because of I P O B and E S N led by this T E R R O R I S T called Kanu.

Justice finally for the Lagos State government at last.

Justice for all security officers killed while doing their duties, the vigilantes, the police, DSS, Millitary.

Justice for his dog that died o.

Justice delayed is indeed not denied.

The blood of all those he killed will torment him till he dies in custody.

Again, I so love this sentence.

So, tell me at what point will you actually demand justice for the chaos unleashed by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists? After the devastation of your own communities, the attacks on northern Christians and Muslims alike, and now even the killing of a Brigadier General… what exactly are you still waiting for

Rephrase the question to:
Can a former governor (Wike) still issue valid commands to a current governor (Fubara)?

If your answer is Yes, then you have the answer you are looking for

You corrupt politicians are toying with young, vibrant officers. Go and ask Buhari how old he was when he joined the military — he was just in his early twenties when he became part of the military junta that shaped Nigeria’s history.

Meanwhile be wary of a man who is calm in the face of provocation, they are very unpredictable and highly calculative. That officer is a bad guy.

If you believe the government drove you to extremism, explain why you would harm ordinary people who are not responsible for those decisions. If your goal is justice, focus your actions on changing the government’s behavior rather than targeting Christians, Muslims, or other civilians who do not share your agenda.

I welcome the American interest in getting the Nigerian government accountable for their inaction in stemming the bloodletting, kidnapping and genocide.

This is what Tinubu’s incompetence and nonchalant attitude have brought upon Nigeria : a looming threat of foreign invasion by America. I often wonder, in my personal reflections, how these politicians manage to sleep at night knowing their citizens are being slaughtered, like the tragic killings in Yelwata.

Tinubu, obsessed with the 2027 elections, seems to believe it’s business as usual , that he can do whatever it takes to secure re-election, by hook or by crook.

Well, e don choke am!
Now you are being forced by a higher power to secure the lives of your country men. Something you took an oath to do o.

So much injustice and wanton waste of human lives.
Yet the government are quick to give peace deals to bandits murderers.

I have the constitutional and God given inalienable right to speak my mind and to support or oppose who I choose to be the President of this country.

I reserve full sovereign rights to share and warn others of who I strongly believe should not and never EVER occupy the highest office.


The day your gingori stops disturbing our public space with his mediocre and charlatan ambition , that is the day I will rest on his matter.

But as long as he and his mob keep trying to foist themselves down our throats as the messiah we have been waiting for , I will keep airing my dissatisfaction on your Giringori .

This is democracy at work and this forum is a public space to air my opinion!

I didn't come to your IPOB facebook pages or WhatsApp group to air my opinion.

You also do not have any right whatsoever to dictate to me what I can post here.

Nairaland was not created to cater for you IPOB and obidient tyrants.

Now get off my motions.

All this rant only to reinforce my claim.

Your obsession with this man is pathetic. For someone you claim came a distant third, he humiliated Tinubu in Lagos.

If Peter isn’t a threat, why not relax and face him at the ballot? Instead, you resort to cheap character assassination and intimidation tactics that only make him more popular.

Good move! 🙌 Access to sanitary pads should never be a struggle for any woman or girl.

.....and the plot thickens.

Commentor:
That's why we should clap for him, abi?

Funny how quick people are to judge someone for the same flaws they carry. Like him or not, Charlie Kirk, at just 31, has already made his mark in history. What about you. what will your name stand for when it’s all said and done?

Commentor:
He was racist.

He knew he was causing such disaffection, he wore a bulletproof vest when he was in public.

Aren't we racist/tribalistic and wicked to our fellow Nigerians

Ibos vs Yorubas vs Hausa vs Fulani...

Says a mam who keeps shouting consumption to production but does not know the correlation of infrastructure in production chain. I thank God I m not obing

You should honestly be mortified. Your president catches a sneeze and suddenly it’s a first-class ticket abroad, while the hospitals here resemble abandoned warehouses. Imagine the irony if you ever fall sick and realize there isn’t a single functioning facility in your own country to save you—what a tragic epiphany that health can’t be padded into the budget or stolen into your pocket. Speaking of budgets, I’m quite certain this current budget was drafted in splendid isolation—no research, no strategy, just generous room for padding, looting, and creative mathematics. Bravo.

You all cant just do anything without mentioning Peter Obi

Man's a living legend.
How can a man whom you claim came in a distant 3rd position be giving you all sleepless nights.

Are they also affiliated with the Obidients?
This situation echoes the very concerns Peter Obi has consistently raised — that public funds must not be spent recklessly. Unfortunately, we continue to witness leaders like Wike and Tinubu behave as though they are beyond accountability, using our collective resources without transparency, as if Nigerians have no right to demand answers.

Hehehe.

Dangote sabi say di guy man dey always like name things afta imself.

helinues:
Please tell us the motives behind the ones he has been attending

Between the ones he has been attending and the Buhari's burial, which should be important?

None of your frigging business!!

He doesn't owe you any explanation. For goodness sake, the man's a private citizen.

Oh, so political strategy now includes attending funerals as a PR stunt? Interesting.

Peter Obi doesn’t need to turn a burial into a campaign rally to prove his popularity or respect. Leadership is about principles, not photo ops. But hey, what do we know?

I feel indifferent. It’s unfortunate that in his eight years as president, he didn’t prioritize building a world-class hospital as a lasting legacy for himself and for Nigerians. Instead, he chose to spend public funds on treatment abroad. Nonetheless, may he rest in peace.
