It's call diplomatic snub, which is even better for Tinubu right now. JD Vance meeting him may not even go well but let's remain hopeful.

This is what happens when we sweep delicate matters under the rug and pay more attention to buying and pressuring defectors.

budaatum:
The question ought to be, why is Tinubu going to leave Nigeria to go see Vance who is very likely to rudely humiliate him and Nigeria, but I guess that's what we deserve when we elect a compromised person to preside over us.

Can't wait to see how Nigerians react, myself.

blaise26abj:
That last one a lie. These okada riding bandits stand no chance. Boko haram is much more coordinated than these stupid boys . How I wish US can take out all the sponsors and these guys with drones .
If I were Tinubu. I will publicly oppose this but meet US in private and give names of all the untouchable sponsors. Plead with US to kill them all including those boys . Bomb them to hell . With security , the kind of investments that come into Nigeria will mind boggling

Jaga9ja:
It won't happen, bro!


Leave emotions aside, Trump is not coming to Nigeria.


It is media stunt and pressure tactic.


Using the VC speaking against Israel as a reason is absolute bs.

Ibrahim1985:
Trump wey dey para, a President that is itching to start war, dey play. A President that is already on the verge to attack Venezuela. Anyway military actions does not mean US troops will be send. A cruise missile attack is a possibility and is a form of a military actions

Jaga9ja:
All these are media stunts, possibly to pressure the Nigeria government into taking security more seriously.


The US government will not put boots on ground in this country.

mysticwarrior:
The is just a pretext by the US to invade and occupy Nigeria. Trump don't give a fvck about black people whether they are christians or not. All of a sudden he is now concern about Nigerian Christians? Tinubu and our leaders should sit up or else they would watch the US turn Nigeria to Iraq. Innocent lives would be lost, our resources would be looted, and they would send Nigeria 500 years backwards.

stuffs2002:
I just pity Nigerian Christians who think the US wants to come and save them from a non existent Muslim attack.


American bullets or bombs will not spare any Nigerian Christians. This was how Iraqi Kurdish people invited American bombs in Iraq only to get bombed along with their Muslims brothers

From Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya to Siria etc. Same thing happened in all of those countries

dederocs:
Since una no wan hear word...this religious bigotry will destroy all of una.

Prosecute killers of Deborah, we must see them in jail!

Eliminate all bokoharam and their sponsors and sympathisers!

Fulanis must compensate victims of those killed in their genocidal attacks on Benue and plateau State!

Fulanis and their Sahel brothers must leave the southern forests, the killings and kidnappings is too much, a line must be drawn!

HacheNoire:
Hello!

We not suffering anything!

Both in Islamic and Christian faith, no book was it stated that the US is heaven.

We are a country, we can diversity our economy! Canada is doing same!

Stop propagating the mentality that a country in North America has a say in Africa. Relevance they seek and we not giving it to them.

My grandmother was an Igbo woman is that enough to say I have Igbo blood?
SIM you can see is half a man. How can governor say such? Language is shared. If not for verifiable
history would you believe that America migrated from the UK? We will dig this deep one day and we will end up learning you were the one who stole language. What most of you speak as language you call Igbo is what what you learnt in school. An Ikwerre man doesn't need to go to school before understanding it. What does that tell you? You copied Ikwerre man's language and called it yours. You call it central Igbo yet you need to go to school to learn how to speak it.

You have belittled the Igbo by comparing them to Ikwerre people. If you are looking for your contemporaries look towards the Yorubas and the Hausa/Fulanis. Igbos have 5 states while Ikwerre is roughly four LGAs. Please dont belittle the Igbos. Meanwhile Ikwerres are contented with their boundaries. There is never a time an Ikwerreman full of pride would call himself Igbo. Wike never did it. The Igbo man that called Amaechi Igbo he took the mic from the Igbo man and told him he is Ikwerre. See it is a taboo in Ikwerre land for anyone to anyone to tag a diali Igbo. This is where you Igbos have not understood. It is something cultural and not a social media something. An Ikwerre man sees himself a blue blood and a superior race. Let me also reveal to you that in Ikwerre land if you are a prince it is a taboo to get married to an Igbo woman. I am sorry I am telling you all these. Like I told you I have Igbo blood but this is what I noticed among my people .

So why do you want me to be Igbo man? Bros the truth I wont lie for you a typical Ikwere man does not want anything to do with Igbo identity.

Kreesxxx:
Do you mean that Igbos are coward that people who met them on ground took over the land from them? We know Igbos such as the Aros who ran away during the way. The came with their spirituality in the 17 and 18 centuries. They were harboured. At a time when the leadership of the East was handed over to the Igbos they became lords to us overnight. When it was time to deal with them we did not look back. Presently, indigenous Igbos in our midst are not up to 5000 people. They dont even want to be seen as Igbos.
Let ne also educate you. Ikwerre is one ethnic group that confronted Igbos before the war. This is why the mortal enemy of the Igbos even before the Fulanis are the Ikwerres. We understand this and we are fully prepared. We told the whole world in what is known today as Rumuomasi Declaration in 1953 that we are not Igbos, neither Ijaws or Ogonis but we are Ikwerees. Please search online for Rumuomasi Declaration. It was before the war when you people had Nigeria in your pockets. So when your kinds say ikweeres denied being Igbos after the war show them Rumuomasi Declaration. As a matter of fact Ikwerres formed the Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention in 1963 way back before the Igbos came up with Ohanaeze.
Igbo is Igbo. Ikwerre is Ikwerre. Annexing us because of your size wont work.

In the true sense of it some individuals in Ikwerre land have igbo ancestry. Mbata is one of them. Any Ikwerre man who has Igbo ancestry is an igbo man. It is correct to say that some Ikwerre people migrated from igbo land and are known till date. But not all Ikwerres are Igbos. This is where we have the differences when you try to use our minority to define us.

Adaisback:
very true. Chai ! Aru melu anyi!

delpee:
This is most disheartening. Which means that the story of Fulani invaders or NA oppression wasn't the issue. 😏

I pray that they experience perfect peace and progress on their return back home. I also pray that all those displaced in the North are able to settle back in their various villages soonest.

Angelfrost:
The thing shock me...! But, Canada's own might just be down to their having less overall population than Nigeria.

Though larger in land mass, they have less than a fifth of Nigeria's population.


That said... Is there any negative global list that doesn't have Nigeria listed on it?!!


At this point, I'm beginning to think they just throw in Nigeria for fun or to represent Africa or West Africa.

PRESS STATEMENT

SUSPEND SENATOR NED NWOKO NOW

The Delta Legislator Observers (DLO) hereby calls on the Senate Ethics and Privileges Committee to immediately suspend Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, pending a full and independent investigation into serious allegations and conduct unbecoming of a public officeholder .

Senator Nwoko has been embroiled in disturbing controversies that cast a long shadow over the integrity of the Nigerian Senate and the dignity of Delta State. The following points outline our urgent concerns:

1. Unethical Conduct: Senator Nwoko’s recent public behavior, including his handling of personal crises and his response to allegations, reflects a disregard for the ethical standards expected of a lawmaker.

2. Allegations of Domestic Abuse: Viral videos and statements from his wife, Regina Daniels, suggest a pattern of physical and emotional abuse. While Senator Nwoko has denied these claims and countered with accusations of substance abuse the gravity of the situation demands impartial scrutiny—not political shielding.

3. A Poor Example of Leadership: His actions and public statements have demonstrated a lack of emotional maturity, accountability, and respect for the rule of law. This is not the leadership Delta North deserves.

4. A Disgrace to Delta State: The senator’s conduct has brought embarrassment to the people of Delta State, whose reputation is now unfairly tied to scandal and dysfunction.

5. Misrepresentation of Constituents: Senator Nwoko’s behavior does not reflect the values, priorities, or dignity of the people he claims to represent. His continued presence in the Senate undermines public trust in democratic institutions.

We therefore demand that the Senate Ethics Committee suspend Senator Ned Nwoko immediately. This suspension will allow for an independent and transparent investigation into the allegations without interference or influence from the senator himself.

The Nigerian Senate must show that it holds its members to the highest standards of conduct and accountability. Anything less is a betrayal of the public’s trust.

Signed,
Ibodje. S.O.
National Coordinator
Delta Legislative Observers (DLO)
