Cherrybae:
The Peter Obi he supports and doing everything for does not even know him.

Even the obedient will look back and let him carry his cross.

The guy will spend many years in prison.

Those who were liking and retreating his fake pist, all will mind their business.

This guy is finished

chopnaira:

Kwankwaso was able to get all his goons from NNPP in Kano the tickets of the NDC.

Obi instead threw even big and influential obidients like Aisha Yesufu under the bus. How much more you that your papa and mama are still drinking garri?

Bandit leader in the NW is demanding that FG free his gang members in exchange for hostages they kidnapped.

The Oyo school kidnappers are demanding also in part that the FG free some of their members in prison who have since been convicted for terrorism.

Incognito403:
Imagine these are the same people calling Nigeria a zoo/jungle.

We are civil people. We have a law.
Criminals will go through due process.
And they will face the full wrath of the law if found guilty.

Incognito403:
Are you sad that a criminal that shares yoir demographic has been exposed?

Open Letter to the First Lady;
Senator Oluremi Tinubu

Madam First Lady,

At a time when families are living in fear and children have been kidnapped from their schools, many citizens expect to see visible empathy, urgency, and leadership from those in positions of national influence.

The continued public displays of singing and dancing while parents desperately seek answers about missing children can appear disconnected from the pain and anxiety being experienced across the country. To many, it feels inappropriate given the gravity of the situation.

You are not only the First Lady; you are also a woman and a mother of all. Many citizens therefore look to you for compassion, empathy, and moral leadership, especially in moments of national distress.

While families are searching for children who have been kidnapped or remain missing, public celebrations, singing, and dancing can appear out of step with the grief, fear, and anxiety many parents are experiencing. At a time like this, people want to see solidarity with affected families and a visible commitment to the welfare and safety of children - like you have always done.

But “The grand inauguration of the Tinubu Torch Bearers” on live television raises a painful question: is this really the message the nation needs at a time when families are still searching for missing and kidnapped children?

A few days ago, a group of APC women appeared before you, singing, “Na our mama be this o,” and ending with “On your mandate.” Again, you smiled, danced, and celebrated with them on national television.

But while those songs were being sung and those dances performed, children were still in captivity. Families were still waiting for news. Mothers were still crying themselves to sleep, wondering whether they would ever see their children again.

What kind of example does this set? What kind of leadership is being projected to the nation and to the world? At a time of such profound pain and insecurity, should those in positions of influence be celebrating themselves or standing in solidarity with the suffering?

As First Lady, you occupy a unique moral position. Nigerians expect compassion, empathy, and sensitivity from you. Instead, these public displays of political adulation and celebration create the impression that the anguish of ordinary citizens has become secondary to image-making and political theatre.

You are presenting vehicles to political supporters and women’s groups while countless mothers are living through every parent’s worst nightmare. Many Nigerians cannot reconcile these displays of celebration and reward with the pain being experienced by families whose loved ones remain missing or in captivity.

What do grieving mothers see when they watch such ceremonies? What comfort do they draw from convoys, gifts, songs, and dancing while they wait for news about their children?

Leadership is not measured by the number of ceremonies held or gifts distributed. It is measured by empathy, moral clarity, and a willingness to stand with those who are suffering. At a moment when so many families are carrying unbearable burdens, public displays of celebration can appear detached from the realities facing ordinary Nigerians.

The nation needs compassion more than pageantry. It needs solidarity more than praise-singing. It needs leaders who recognize that the grief of even one family with a missing child should command our collective attention and concern.

Please, Madam First Lady, bring an end to this spectacle. Suspend these public celebrations, these choreographed endorsements, and these displays of praise-singing. This is not the time.

A nation with kidnapped children, grieving parents, struggling families, and widespread hardship should not be projecting scenes of self-congratulation. It diminishes our collective humanity and sends the wrong message to the world.

The mothers waiting for their children do not need entertainment. They need hope. They need action. They need leaders who visibly share their pain and use every platform available to demand results.

History will not remember how loudly people sang your praises. It will remember whether those with influence stood with the vulnerable when it mattered most.

Please use your voice and influence to focus national attention on the plight of these families. Let the priority be the children who are still missing, the parents who are still waiting, and the communities that continue to live in fear.

We all want a nation that is safe, compassionate, and just—a country where no parent lives in fear of losing a child, and where leadership reflects the hopes and struggles of its people.

May we never become so accustomed to suffering that we celebrate while others mourn. May we find the courage to place humanity above politics and compassion above ceremony.

God bless a united and indivisible Nigeria.


Respectfully,
Oteghe Adams

What is quoted below is true. Chibok girls again. Yet Jagaban is not PBAT and has warned them he won't be intimidated or cowered.

Greyworld:
You have found your mojo.... on Obi's matter your erectile dysfunction disappears.

FSBoperator:
Yes, I am sure this is the same James Nwafor Akwuzu SARS he is moving with.

Are you aware also that many innocent people were labelled as kidnappers and their homes destroyed even before they went to trail?

There's one individual who dragged Obi to the Anambra judiciary panel setup to investigate the activities of James Nwafors's SARS and this individual dragged your Obi to the panel for ordering his hotel be demolished because they found one rusty rifle in one of the rooms.

Your Obi went to court to prevent the panel from summoning him.

Ex-APC Chairman In Kebbi, Elderly Man Plead From Bandits’ Captivity, Say Their Health Is Deteriorating

A heartbreaking video has emerged showing two elderly men from Kebbi State, including a former chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Koko-Besse Local Government Area, pleading desperately for help from captivity after being abducted by bandits.

In the emotional footage, the victims, visibly exhausted and distressed, appealed to their families, community leaders and government authorities to urgently intervene and negotiate their release, warning that their health conditions are rapidly deteriorating in the forest where they are being held.

One of the victims, identified as a former APC chairman in Koko-Besse LGA, lamented what he described as abandonment by those expected to secure their freedom.

"You can see the humiliating condition we are subjected to in this place. Therefore, we need you to help mobilise and get us out of here, please help us in the name of God[/b]," he said.

The elderly man expressed frustration over what he perceived as a lack of progress in efforts to secure their release.

[b]"If you have given up on us and want us dead, then be straightforward about it so we can give up and tell you our final goodbye," he added.

According to him, both captives are battling serious health challenges while enduring harsh conditions in the kidnappers' camp.

"We are in a dire situation. Yahya is ill; even I myself am battling sickness, as you know I have been living on medication. Yet you appear to have ignored our pleas to negotiate with these people. Why are you doing this to us?"

The victim disclosed that they have been forced to undertake long treks through remote forests alongside their captors, despite their age and poor health.

"We trek long distances with these people and we've been talking, yet no results. For the sake of God, be considerate. If you're not willing, let us know so we can give up on our lives,” he said.

In a separate appeal captured in the video, the second victim, identified as Yahya, also pleaded for urgent intervention.

"You can see the precarious situation we have found ourselves in. You know I'm not well, just like the chairman. Yet you have not been able to rescue us. We've been abandoned in the woods with these people. For God's sake, do something to get us out of here," he said.

The visibly distressed captive called on relatives, associates and authorities to mobilise support and raise the ransom demanded by their abductors.

"Please, for God's sake, help us end this captivity so we can return to our families. Mobilise the people to help raise the required ransom. Do that in the name of God. You should not abandon us here. Act now,” he said.

At one point in the footage, a bandit standing over the victims reportedly asked the former APC chairman to identify himself and explain his status to those expected to negotiate his release.

Responding, the elderly man said: "You know I've been the chairman of APC in Koko-Besse Local Government Area of Kebbi State, but I'm not any longer. So please help us out of this captivity."

Describing the life-threatening conditions in the forest camp, he revealed that they live among dangerous reptiles.

"Here we live with reptiles and snakes. The day before yesterday, I almost got bitten by a snake," he said.

The disturbing video has sparked concern among residents and observers, highlighting the worsening insecurity in parts of northern Nigeria where kidnappings for ransom continue to thrive despite repeated security operations.

As the captives' emotional appeals circulate on social media, pressure is mounting on families, community leaders and government authorities to intensify efforts toward securing their safe return before their health conditions worsen further.

Actually actions have consequences.. I can never forget that statement Tinubu made ""where are the cows? Is Evans a herdsman?"" Just because of yeye politics, even said Fulani and Yoruba are one.. honestly Tinubu has sold out the SW..

Mbanda:
Kanu warned them about this but they called him a terrorist and, used their injustice brother omotosho and tinibu to jail him.
