Hahaha eze free ticket of agulu village Mr peter obi you don't want to participate in primary election yet you want to be President. ATIKU should decamp to NDC immediately e get why

Correction on Peter Obi’s ADC Exit

Contrary to claims, Peter Obi never said he wouldn’t contest the ADC primary election.

In fact, he pushed for a Direct Primary so party members could vote. But Atiku and ADC party leaders rejected it.
They opted for a consensus arrangement instead – a move designed to make Atiku the party’s flag bearer.

Atiku had already funded key party leaders to back the consensus plan, expecting to secure the ticket unopposed.

When ADC leaders realized Peter Obi and Kwankwaso were set to leave the party over this, they urgently called an emergency meeting, pleading with both men to stay.

But Obi, anticipating the outcome, had already decided to exit.
The ADC was never prepared to conduct a Direct Primary.

Now, with ADC facing legal battles, Atiku and the same party leaders are considering moving to PRP or joining the NDC.

For Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, moving to NDC was a strategic decision.

3exe3:
Obi won't have won against Atiku in the primary.
It's seems Obi don't like primaries or the way party primaries are setup. With NDC I think Obi is solo for now Kwankwaso I am not sure his intentions but Obi is solo right now. NDC is a new party though I don't think it has political bigwigs, its founder is Dickson former Bayelsa State governor but he is not a weight in national politics. Only Obi and Kwankwaso sound as names we all know.

Saturnalia:
Peter Obi should man-up and fight for what he wants by contesting for primaries wherever he finds himself or he should forget about ruling Nigeria.

Shebi his supporters think becoming a President in Nigeria is by running their mouths Cho Cho Cho Cho on the social media and bullying people that do not subscribe to their ideology?

As I have said before, Peter Obi will only rule Nigeria when this World ends and another one begins and ends again. Nonsense!

Outrage As Kano Govt Distributes Branded Tinubu Underwear To Women.

The Kano State Government has come under heavy criticism following the distribution of women’s underwear branded with the image of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

Photos and videos circulating on social media show women at a recent gathering, believed to be linked to an APC rally or early 2027 campaign activities, waving and displaying the branded panties.

The items reportedly feature the governor’s campaign-style portrait printed prominently on them.

The development has sparked widespread outrage and heated debate online, with many describing it as inappropriate, undignified, and disrespectful to women.

Critics have questioned the rationale behind using such personal items for political mobilization.

Some reports suggest the distribution was part of efforts to mobilize women ahead of future elections, while others claim it was an empowerment or outreach initiative.

NNPP supporters were said to have responded by flaunting rival branded versions featuring Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The controversy has dominated discussions on social media platforms, with mixed reactions ranging from condemnation to ridicule and calls for the government to clarify or address the matter.

As of now, the Kano State Government is yet to issue an official statement on the viral reports. Further details are expected as the story continues to generate public interest.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Slayer of Terrorist.

He wields significant influence among Middle Eastern leaders.
His name alone commands attention and unease in Arab circles.

America wanted to do that ,, we all said noo we don't want America, but I'm still surprised that nobody is talking about this Turkey building bases in Nigeria

And this was an advice from Gumi an 1slamic jahadist worshipper.

The nation who rejected American base and said Nigeria is sovereign state.,,and they are coming for oil is now silent over the coming of Turkish military to esterblish military base in the same Nigeria.

Maybe Turkey is not coming for our oil, they are coming for our gold.

Christian leaders are silent while the same man who negotiate with terrorists is now the same man suggesting which military should be allowed in Nigeria

I'm still waiting for all the noise content creators to say no to Turkish military invasion of Nigeria but they are now silent..

Something seriously is coming upon Nigeria..

The islamic world want to force us by all means to become Muslim.

How can Turkey who has hands in world terrorism be the one to build military base to protect Christian genocide?

And our Christian leaders doesn't even care.

Because they are busy with tithes.

Something is wrong somewhere

Prepare to defend yourself in Nigeria soon

We Have Electricity to Power Our Growth!, Says Tinubu After Four Years of Failed Promises

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that the country has electricity to power the economy for growth amid continued darkness across the country, News.ng reports.

The President stated this on Friday at a banquet held in his honour in the oil-rich Bayelsa State.

While addressing guests at the occasion, the President noted that he made a mistake by attempting to establish independent power generation, which has yielded no results in the country.

According to data, Nigeria generates between 4,000 MW and 5,800 MW of electricity but utilises only 32% due to weak power grid infrastructure. The highest ever recorded was 5,801.84 MW on March 4, 2025, enough to power more than 40 million homes.

Comparing Nigeria with other economies in Africa, South Africa generates over 58,000 MW through coal, but due to a lack of maintenance, the country has below 27,000 MW available to the grid. The country produces about 25% of Africa’s total electricity.

Meanwhile, the President admitted that his administration is still struggling to ramp up generation capacity but assured Nigerians of increased capacity, failing to give details on how to achieve his ambitious power generation goals.

He said, “I won’t go back to history of my first attempt to bring an independent power generation system to Nigeria. There we are today. I’m struggling with it, but I assure Nigerians that we have electricity to power our growth.”

On how to accelerate growth and development, he called for synergy between the federal government and the state governments, as his administration is willing to engage sub-national governments.

“Development advances further, faster, when the federal government and the state government work in partnership and towards a shared purpose. I hear you,” he said.

On road infrastructural deficit, the President hinted at supporting states to undertake the rehabilitation of federal roads.

“I hear you, dearly, federal road. Okay, I will take you with me when I’m going. You bill it for your people.

“When we met in my office, you were asking for this exception of that and waiver of that and everything. You mentioned bias and your commitment. Now you want reimbursement. It’s now federal road. I’ll take it with me,” he said.

noleflendum:
Why is it that Peter Obi is consistently seen visiting other politicians, such as Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Tambuwa, Atiku, Malami Seyi Makinde Seriake Dickson, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi etc, while there are hardly visible reports of those same politicians visiting him in return?

Mostly optics and agenda. Obi’s positioning himself as the coalition‑builder ahead of 2027, so he goes to the big men (Kwankwaso, Atiku, Makinde, etc.) in their strongholds to show openness and to negotiate a united front against APC.
Hosts get the PR of crowds and hospitality; visitors look like suitors.
Reciprocal visits happen—Obi hosted Sallah‑season guests in Anambra and meets elders like Obasanjo privately—but they draw less press than Obi turning up in Kano or Sokoto.

Add in practicalities: he’s not a sitting governor with a garrison of state protocol, so travel is easier, and media cover “Obi visits X” as a sign he’s courting alliances, not the reverse.

IPOB’s statement welds US comments to its long‑standing demand for a referendum—framing self‑determination as the peaceful answer to insecurity and marginalisation in the South‑East.

Politically, that call bumps against Abuja’s firm line on unity and the constitution, so international attention raises volume more than it changes policy.
The real signal is local: grievances about safety and representation keep fueling agitation.
Government moves that address those gaps—credible security, inclusion in governance, and open dialogue—would undercut the appeal of outside endorsements far more than any rebuttal.

Busy5767:
A video has just started circulating on X (Twitter) showing what appears to be Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, making a statement about how terrorists should be dealt with suggesting a chance for repentance using a biblical analogy (“prodigal son”).


We published an article discussing the video and providing context because at this time no major news outlets have independently verified the claim. You can read it here and watch clip
👉 https://www.dobblog.online/2026/03/video-circulating-on-x-shows-nigerian.html

Your thoughts?
Should statements by top military officials be taken seriously before official confirmation, or should we wait for verified source reporting?

The clip sounds like the chief is urging terrorists to repent—using the “prodigal son” image to leave the door open for surrender.
It’s a delicate line: offering clemency can encourage fighters to lay down arms, but many Nigerians will read it as soft‑pedaling justice after mass killings.
The idea only works if it’s paired with firm prosecution for atrocities and visible protection for victims; otherwise “repentance” risks looking like impunity.

Busy5767:
Activist Omoyele Sowore has criticized Nigerian state governors, describing them as “shameless” in a reaction shared online.

His statement followed a viral video showing governors praising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The comment has generated mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some supporting his view while others disagreed.

The clip of governors heaping praise on Tinubu did look stage‑managed, so Sowore’s “Shameless” jab lands for Nigerians tired of pageantry while bandits run wild.
Those agreeing with him see it as calling out a loyalty‑for‑access dynamic that sidelines real governance.
Those pushing back say public commendations are routine politics and don’t automatically mean governors aren’t working on state issues.
Either way, the buzz shows how starved people are for leaders who prioritize security and services over choreographed endorsements.

Brownback’s alarm matches the tracker data:
624 killed in February, mass abductions, and entire states where civilians bury dozens in a weekend.
The “breakup” language is dramatic, but the driver is simple—when people can’t farm, trade or send kids to school because gunmen act with impunity, loyalty to the centre erodes. It hits Christian and Muslim communities alike; bandits in Zamfara don’t check IDs before they raid.

What matters now is concrete action: surge troops to the North‑Central/North‑West corridors, equip local vigilantes under strict oversight, fast‑track prosecutions, and publish arrest numbers so citizens see consequences.
International pressure can help, but only Nigerian political will can turn the tide—otherwise the breakup scenario goes from warning to slow‑moving reality.

SO what is the use of state police if 'every state cannot implement it'

Plus, let's be honest...no state can implement it. At all.

Lagos for example is the size of New York. A Lagos state police department would need something like 13 trillion naira per annum to work well. Last time I checked Lagos budget it was 2.3 trillion naira.

Zamfara even needs something like six to seven trillion, if not more, per annum. Ditto a lot of states.

No state can implemet state police. Your own federal government is not even able to fund the NPF adequately, so which state can do so? State wey dey rely on the same Nigerian government for money?

Make we dey face reality, abeg. Government is not about dreaming, it is about what you have now.

The budget math you cite is real—13 trillion for Lagos versus a 2.3 trillion budget sounds impossible.
But the point of state police isn’t to clone New York’s NYPD overnight; it’s to add a layer of local eyes and quick response that the federal force can’t stretch to every street.

A workable model could start tiny: neighborhood units funded through a mix of state allocation, federal security grants, and internally generated income (farms, workshops, clinics).
Even a modest force that handles traffic, low‑level crime and intelligence frees federal officers to focus on bandits and insurgents.
If no state can fund a full‑blown replica, the realistic choice is a scaled‑down, community‑anchored pilot with strong oversight, not an all‑or‑nothing gamble. Ignoring that middle ground leaves us with the same overstretched NPF and no local accountability.

nairalanda1:
State police won't work in Nigeria.

No state has the resources to fund state police when even the government is struggling to find money for Nigeria police.

If you want a working state police, you need funds for jails , stations, communications equipment, forensic services, extensive records system, more judges , more lawyers for prosecution service, more detention facilities for juvenile prisoners , drones, armoured cars, helicopters, training facilities and I mean modern training facilities, not secandary school type buildings, all that would cost more money than Lagos spends and has in a year for one state.

I know I would be abused and called all sorts of names, but I also ask anyone reading this to watch police body cam videos on YouTube, and ask yourself if your state can provide the kind of stuff that local American city police has.

If we are setting up state police only to have them be blown away by bandits and armed thugs that have military grade weapons , then what is the use of state police.? To send more young men and women to Gehenna for nothing?

Let's not let APC deceive us with state police talk. As it stands e no go work. Not today, not tomorrow.

I haven't even mentioned the issues with tribalism, religion issues and politicians misusing them self

I hear the funding fear, but ruling state police out entirely misses a practical workaround: self‑financing units.
If a state police command runs mechanised farms on allocated land, a workshop that handles repairs for government fleets, a hospital open to civilians, and even a small industrial estate, those streams can offset salaries, communications kit and basic forensics.

They wouldn’t instantly pay for helicopters, but they’d shrink the budget hole enough to fund modern training centres and records systems without matching State entire annual spend.
Start with narrow duties—community patrols, traffic, local intelligence—while the federal force keeps heavy‑weapon response.
Oversight boards with civil‑society reps can check tribal or political abuse. It’s not a magic fix, but it’s a pilotable path rather than accepting that bandits will keep outgunning a perpetually under‑funded federal police.

Jonjam269:
This is just another staged spectacle to keep keyboard warriors busy. The political landscape has shifted significantly, and it’s not in the opposition’s favour. If they couldn’t defeat him in 2023 despite relentless social media attacks, prolonged court battles, propaganda, and even the currency redesign saga, then expecting to unseat him in 2027 as an incumbent borders on wishful thinking.

Anything else is simply a narrative to comfort the gullible and keep so-called deluded loyalists clinging to illusions of electoral victory, same script, same predictable outcome.

Tinubu has nothing to offer period

Timi Frank Accuses Tinubu Of Plot To Relocate Nigeria’s Capital Back To Lagos.

Comrade Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused President Bola Tinubu of pursuing a hidden agenda to relocate Nigeria’s federal capital from Abuja to Lagos, while allegedly sidelining other regions of the country.

In a statement on Monday, Frank described what he called a pattern of “suspicious and calculated actions” by the administration, claiming that major government decisions, investments, and agreements were increasingly tilted toward Lagos.

According to him, “it is now clear” that the President’s long-term plan is to concentrate political and economic power in Lagos if given another term in office.

Frank alleged that federal appointments and development initiatives under Tinubu have been largely one-sided, warning that such a trend undermines national unity.

He insisted that Nigeria needs leadership that treats all regions fairly, stressing that “we don’t need a president who is one-sided,” but one who ensures equitable distribution of opportunities, infrastructure, and governance.

The outspoken activist went further to accuse the administration of worsening nepotism beyond previous governments, including that of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He argued that while past administrations had been criticised for imbalance, “this is the worst,” alleging that key positions and benefits are disproportionately skewed.

“Where are Tinubu’s MoUs tied to agricultural and livestock production in the North, industrial development in the South East and oil and gas development in the South-South? None!” he said

Frank also raised concerns over a series of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and foreign loans, alleging that many of them are tied to projects in Lagos without visible nationwide impact.

He claimed that despite multiple agreements and borrowings, Nigerians are yet to see corresponding tangible developments across the country, questioning the transparency and execution of such deals.

On the recently reported £746 million port refurbishment deal involving the United Kingdom, Frank described the arrangement as economically disadvantageous to Nigeria.

He argued that the structure of the deal – requiring a significant portion of contracts and supplies to be sourced from British firms – amounts to a situation where Nigeria incurs debt while foreign companies reap substantial benefits.

He warned that such agreements could deepen Nigeria’s debt burden without delivering commensurate value, alleging that the country risks being used to boost foreign industries at its own expense.

According to him, “Nigeria must not be turned into a dumping ground for exploitative financial arrangements disguised as partnerships.”

Frank lamented about the handling of the construction of the Coastal Highway, saying, “What is happening with the coastal road raises serious concerns.
If the project were genuine, it would have followed the original master plan conceived under late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, which was designed to commence from the Niger Delta, particularly from Calabar.

“However, what we’re seeing now is a deviation from that plan. The project has been kickstarted from Lagos, apparently to achieve a political objective before the end of the current administration in 2027, while the original vision has been abandoned.

“Secondly, no President in Nigeria’s history has divided the country and its people along regional and ethnic lines the way this administration has done.

“There’s a growing sense of alienation and division among Nigerians that is deeply troubling.

“It appears to be a deliberate strategy to impoverish certain regions, especially the North, South, and South-East, so that citizens are economically weakened ahead of the 2027 election cycle.

“At the same time, there are allegations of large sums of money being distributed to influence public opinion and silence dissenting voices. Nigerians must be cautious and not allow themselves to be swayed or compromised by this deliberate act that could further deepen poverty and division in the country.

“No President should pursue personal interests at the expense of national unity. What we are witnessing is an unprecedented level of division among Nigerians across regions.”

Frank called on Nigerians to critically scrutinise government policies and international agreements, urging greater transparency and accountability in governance.

He also appealed to relevant institutions and stakeholders to ensure that national interest, equity, and sovereignty are not compromised.

Something extraordinary is unfolding in the war against the Islamic regime of Iran.

For years, many believed the ayatollah regime was untouchable.

Too entrenched.
Too brutal.
Too powerful internally to ever fall.

But what we are witnessing now is an unbelievable strategic campaign unfolding step by step.

First, Israel dismantled much of Iran’s missile defense systems, opening the skies.

Then came the precision strikes eliminating senior Shiite regime leadership, crippling the command structure.

Then Israel systematically destroyed large portions of Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and nuclear weapons infrastructure, removing the regime’s greatest external threats.

But Israeli strategists clearly understood something important:

Even that would not be enough to topple this evil regime.

The ayatollahs ultimately maintain power through fear and street-level repression.

That’s why Israel has now entered what appears to be a new phase of the war.

Across Tehran and other Iranian cities, Israeli drones are now striking IRGC and Basij militia checkpoints in the streets.

Hundreds of drones reportedly hunting the regime’s enforcers.

These are the very forces used by the regime to terrorize Iranian citizens and crush uprisings.

Remove them…

…and the streets begin to change.

Reports from inside Iran say regime thugs are now hiding under bridges and inside tunnels, hoping the drones cannot find them.

One resident in Tehran reported that a major hospital was overwhelmed overnight with Basij casualties after waves of drone strikes on checkpoint positions.

Beds filled.

Many wounded.

Many killed.

Why target these forces?

Because weakening the ground repression apparatus is the key to something much bigger.

Israel appears to be clearing the streets so that the Iranian people themselves can rise up and finish the job.

This is not simply a military campaign.

It is a strategy to break the regime’s ability to terrorize its own population.

And if the Iranian people finally feel the regime’s grip weakening…

…the possibility of a true internal revolution becomes real.

We are also blessed that President Donald Trump chose to join this fight in defense of American interests and the security of the free world. Watching the cooperation between the United States Air Force and the Israeli Air Force is nothing short of extraordinary. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently called them the two best air forces in the world, and seeing them operate together truly feels like watching history unfold. Think about the miracle of it: tiny Israel, a country smaller than New Jersey with barely 10 million citizens, standing shoulder to shoulder with the greatest superpower of our time, America—its most trusted ally. Sometimes it feels like we are living inside a dream.

Make no mistake.

This war is not over.

In many ways, it is just entering its most decisive phase.

Israel is executing one of the most sophisticated military strategies the modern Middle East has ever seen.

Step by step.

Layer by layer.

All aimed at one goal:

Removing from the world the evil jihadi Shiite regime that has threatened Israel, the region, and the free world for decades.

These are glorious times to be a Jew.

So Jews everywhere, raise your heads high.

Do not let the rising Jew-hatred around the world discourage you.

We are not victims.

We are victors.

And Israel is not just a country.

Israel is the identity of our nation.

Am Yisrael Chai!!!

…As President Trump’s Republican conservatives pile pressure over Nigeria

Even as Washington’s strategic attention remains heavily focused on the escalating confrontation with Iran and tensions in Cuba, a growing bloc of conservative voices in the United States is urging President Donald Trump to direct more attention toward Nigeria, arguing that Africa’s most populous country could become the next major geopolitical flashpoint.

At the centre of this campaign are conservative activists, lawmakers, and faith-based organisations who say Nigeria is facing an escalating crisis of terrorism and religious violence that demands stronger American engagement.

Among the most vocal is Mike Arnold, founder of Africa Arise International and author of EPICENTER, who recently sent a detailed policy memorandum to the White House outlining what he described as “the biggest win on the board” for American foreign policy.

Arnold’s memo, circulated among senior officials in Washington, argues that Nigeria represents both the greatest security threat and the greatest strategic opportunity for the United States in Africa.

“Mr. President, you are doing what no president has had the courage to do – confronting Islamic terrorism head-on around the world,” Arnold wrote. “But there is a bigger play sitting on the table, and nobody else sees it. Nigeria.”

Nigeria as “the epicenter”

Arnold’s message is rooted in a worldview increasingly shared by conservative activists in Washington, who believe Nigeria sits at the intersection of global terrorism, strategic minerals, religious freedom, and great-power competition.

In the memo addressed to Trump and copied to senior foreign policy officials, Arnold describes Nigeria as a country with immense geopolitical stakes.

With a population of about 230 million and projected to become the third-largest country in the world by 2050, Nigeria possesses vast reserves of oil, rare earth minerals, and a rapidly expanding youth population. According to Arnold, these factors make the country pivotal not only for Africa, but also for the global balance of power.

He argued that China is already exploiting the situation, claiming that tens of thousands of Chinese nationals are extracting billions of dollars’ worth of minerals annually while instability spreads across the country..

“Right now, China has 150,000 nationals looting $9 billion a year in minerals while jihadists slaughter Christians and the government covers it up,” Arnold wrote.

While critics dispute many of the claims contained in the memo, its central thesis has resonated within conservative policy circles, that Nigeria could become the world’s largest terror state if its security crisis worsens.

Arnold cited projections suggesting that the number of radicalized fighters in the region could grow dramatically by the end of the decade.

“A jihadist-controlled Nigeria would command more money, more people, and more resources than ISIS ever dreamed of,” he warned..“The largest terror state in history – on track to happen unless someone stops it.”

Beyond security concerns, Arnold’s memo proposes a direct American involvement in ensuring the credibility of Nigeria’s electoral process. His proposal calls on the Trump administration to push for international oversight of Nigeria’s elections and support the drafting of a new constitution that would be ratified by Nigerians through a referendum.

“The task is simple: guarantee a free and fair Nigerian election,” he wrote. According to Arnold, Nigeria’s current constitutional structure, introduced under military rule in 1999, centralizes political power and prevents genuine democratic competition.

He argued that a transparent election monitored by international observers could fundamentally reshape the country’s political trajectory.

“Remove the stranglehold and they will build a powerhouse,” he wrote. “A model nation. A booming economy. America’s strongest African ally.”

Arnold’s proposal has sparked debate among analysts, who view such ideas as potentially infringing on Nigeria’s sovereignty, even as supporters argue that international oversight could strengthen democratic institutions. Riley

Moore leads congressional pressure has also drafted a law for passage in Congress to effect to their demands.

While Arnold represents the activist wing of the movement, the push within Congress is being led by Riley Moore, a Republican lawmaker from West Virginia, who has emerged as one of the most prominent voices in Washington advocating stronger American intervention in Nigeria.

Moore recently delivered a report to the White House outlining what he and other lawmakers describe as “Christian persecution” in Nigeria and recommending a sweeping overhaul of US-Nigeria relations.

The report followed months of congressional hearings, investigative visits to Nigeria, and consultations with religious leaders and humanitarian organisations.

According to Moore, the findings show that Nigeria has become “the deadliest place in the world to be a Christian,” a claim that has been strongly disputed by Nigerian officials and Islamic religious leaders.

The lawmaker has repeatedly highlighted attacks carried out by terrorist groups, such as Islamic State West Africa Province and armed militias across the country’s northern and Middle Belt regions.

In one recent statement reacting to the killing of 27 Christians in Adamawa State, Moore said the violence underscores the urgency of stronger international action.

“Christians continue to be explicitly targeted for their faith in Nigeria,” he wrote. “ISIS-West Africa is slaughtering Christians and telling others they must convert or die.”

Moore has also linked the crisis to global geopolitical competition, alleging that Chinese mining operations in Nigeria are indirectly financing extremist groups.

“Chinese operators are paying protection money to radical Islamic terrorists, who use that money to finance persecution,” he claimed. “This cannot continue.”

The congressional report goes beyond condemnation, and proposes an extensive list of policy actions aimed at reshaping U.S engagement with Nigeria. Among the recommendations are sanctions against individuals accused of tolerating religious violence, visa bans, and asset freezes.

The report also proposes a comprehensive bilateral security agreement between Washington and Abuja that would expand counter-terrorism cooperation, provide American military equipment, and strengthen intelligence sharing.

Other proposals include increased humanitarian assistance for internally displaced persons and support for land reforms and ranching initiatives designed to reduce conflict between farmers and herders.

At the same time, lawmakers suggested measures aimed at limiting Nigeria’s reliance on Russian military hardware and encouraging deeper defence ties with the United States.

The recommendations reflect a broader strategic vision that sees Nigeria not only as a humanitarian concern, but also as a critical arena in global power competition.

In many ways, Washington’s involvement in Nigeria has already begun to deepen. The Trump administration redesignated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over religious freedom issues in October 2025, a move that signaled renewed scrutiny of the country’s internal security challenges.

Two months later, on Christmas Day 2025, American forces carried out targeted strikes against terrorist positions in cooperation with Nigerian authorities.
The operation was accompanied by the deployment of additional U.S military advisers and equipment to support counter-terrorism operations.

Although details remain limited, security analysts say the move marked one of the most significant expansions of U.S military engagement in Nigeria in years. Still, for activists like Arnold and lawmakers, such as Moore, these steps do not go far enough.

Their argument is that while the United States has been willing to deploy force in the Middle East, it has yet to develop a comprehensive strategy for Nigeria.

The challenge for the Trump administration is that Nigeria must compete for attention in a crowded geopolitical landscape. The ongoing confrontation with Iran has dominated American foreign policy in recent months, drawing military resources and diplomatic focus to the Middle East.

Tensions with Cuba and ongoing rivalry with China have also complicated the administration’s global agenda. Yet, conservative policy groups argue that ignoring Nigeria could prove costly.

They warn that instability in the country, combined with its population size and economic potential, could reshape the security landscape across West Africa and beyond. For that reason, they believe Washington must begin treating Nigeria not as a peripheral issue, but as a central front in the global fight against terrorism and ideological extremism.

As these debates intensify in Washington, the push for stronger American involvement in Nigeria is beginning to reverberate far beyond Capitol Hill.

From calls for constitutional reforms to proposals targeting religious laws in northern Nigeria, the ideas circulating among U.S conservatives are already generating strong reactions across the country.

In particular, proposals to abolish Shari’a law and criminal blasphemy statutes, central elements of the congressional report, have triggered fierce opposition from Islamic scholars and political leaders in northern Nigeria.

Among the recommendations submitted to the White House by lawmakers led by Moore is a call for Nigeria to abolish Shari’a criminal codes and anti-blasphemy laws as part of a broader framework aimed at addressing what the report describes as systematic persecution of Christians.

The congressional document argues that such laws are used to silence dissent, target religious minorities and justify convictions without due process in some northern states.

For Moore and his colleagues, repealing those laws is essential to what they describe as resetting relations between Washington and Abuja around religious freedom, security cooperation and economic partnership.

It also urges Nigeria to reduce reliance on Russian military equipment and instead deepen defence cooperation with the United States through expanded arms sales and training programmes. For Moore and other supporters of the initiative, confronting these overlapping threats – terrorism, religious persecution and geopolitical rivalry – is essential to safeguarding both American and Nigerian interests.

But in Nigeria, the recommendations have triggered sharp pushback, particularly from religious leaders and political figures in the North.

Islamic scholars and organisations have rejected the calls for abolishing Shari’a law, describing them as an unacceptable intrusion into Nigeria’s internal affairs. The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria said the proposal misunderstands the country’s legal and religious framework.

In a statement issued by its secretary-general, the council insisted that Shari’a law forms an integral part of the lives of Muslims in the country and is protected under Nigeria’s constitutional provisions on religious freedom.

“No power or authority can arrogantly make Muslims relinquish its practice in response to external pressure, misinformation, or political intimidation,” the council said.

The body also rejected claims that Nigeria is experiencing a religious genocide against Christians, arguing that the country’s violence stems from terrorism, banditry and governance challenges that affect people of different faiths.

Similarly, a coalition of Islamic scholars in Kano warned that foreign pressure to dismantle Shari’a institutions could undermine fragile interreligious coexistence in the country.

The group described the proposals as “provocative interference” and insisted that institutions, such as the Hisbah religious police operate legally under state laws passed by elected assemblies.

For many northern leaders, the debate touches on sensitive questions of sovereignty and religious identity.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum, described the recommendations emerging from Washington as deliberately provocative.

According to him, attempts to abolish Shari’a law or restrict Nigeria’s relations with countries, such as China and Russia could signal a deeper strategic agenda.

“These proposals represent a dangerous escalation of opportunism in Nigeria and West Africa,” he said.

Baba-Ahmed also warned that portraying Nigeria’s security crisis as a one-sided religious genocide risks inflaming tensions between communities that have historically coexisted despite recurring violence.

“We are a country designed to coexist and share in fortunes and setbacks,” he said.

Observers say the controversy highlights the increasingly complex dynamics shaping U.S-Nigeria relations. “On one hand, Nigeria remains one of Washington’s most important partners in Africa, particularly in counterterrorism operations against groups, such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province,” said Anthony Chidi, a lawyer and analyst based in Abuja.

“The presence of American military advisers and equipment in the country – expanded after targeted strikes against terrorist positions in December 2025 – reflects the growing security cooperation between the two nations.

Islamic cleric and security commentator Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has urged the Federal Government to reconsider its heavy spending on military operations and instead explore dialogue with armed groups operating across the country.

The cleric said lasting peace cannot be achieved through force alone. According to him, negotiations remain the most practical path to resolving Nigeria’s worsening security crisis.

Speaking in a recent interview, Gumi warned that the military’s “kinetic” approach has never worked and only fuels violence, and added a sharp warning for those in power:

“Even IPOB, who wants succession, if they lay down arms and negotiate, I will support them. We can’t keep buying guns while society burns.”

Gumi maintained that the government has continued to pour huge amounts of public funds into military campaigns without achieving meaningful progress in restoring peace. He argued that the approach has only prolonged conflicts in several parts of the country.

The cleric also claimed that massive security allocations have not translated into stability, suggesting that some of the funds meant for operations often fail to address the root causes of violence.

“If you give the military money, they will go and buy houses abroad. We need to break the cycle of using guns as a solution,” he said.

He further argued that eliminating insurgent leaders or launching repeated military raids has not weakened extremist groups.

According to him, such tactics sometimes strengthen armed groups by creating new cycles of retaliation and recruitment.

Gumi pointed out that insecurity continues to spread across several regions, including the North-East, North-West and parts of the South-East. He said the persistence of attacks despite heavy security spending shows that the strategy needs urgent review.

The cleric also questioned the government’s spending priorities, saying funds committed to warfare could be redirected to address Nigeria’s social and economic challenges. In his view, improved infrastructure and basic services would help tackle some of the conditions that fuel unrest.

He lamented the state of public infrastructure in the country, noting that poor roads, unstable electricity supply and weak social systems continue to affect millions of Nigerians.

“Electricity is erratic and very expensive. Roads are terrible. Nothing is working here. Spending that money on defense is just wasting resources,” Gumi said.

The Book Of War "Donald Trump 3:1-12"
‎
‎1. And it came to pass as said by the Lord, that, you Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the leader of Iran, your ways and deeds are evil before my sight.
‎
‎2. Sooner than you know, I will bring judgement upon you and your descendants.
‎
‎3. My wrath shall dwell upon your kingdom, for you have despised me, the women in your kingdom has endured humiliation, the men have feared deaths, and the young have grown in fear.
‎
‎4. You boasted in the weapons you have built, you despised I, the Lord and creator of the earth, the giver of wisdom and knowledge. For you took pride in your mightiness.
‎
‎5. In those days, the voice of the Lord came to the son of man, the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump.
‎
‎6. Saying; son of man, pick up the armour of war, prepare your soldiers,for I the Lord, your God will crush the ruler of Iran into your palms. Fear not, I am with you.
‎
‎7. Donald Trump wrote to the King of Israel Benjamin Natayanhu saying;
‎
‎8. Come up to the hills my dear friend, for the Lord has given me your enemy, prepare the soldiers for war, take the right and I will go to the left.
‎
‎9. As promised by the Lord, God gave them victory over their enemy.
‎
‎10. They did a lot of bombing, at the house where Ayatollah was, and there was no escape route for him.
‎
‎11. He died like a dog, the US army and the Israeli armies returned home singing songs of victory unto He, who gave them victory.
‎
‎12. For none of them were hurt. That was how God gave them victory over their enemies.
‎

Exiled Iranian crown prince says he’s accepted ‘call’ to lead Iran after Khamenei’s death

Reza Pahlavi, exiled Iranian crown prince, says he has accepted the call to be the country’s next leader.

Pahlavi is the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran and is widely regarded as the most prominent figure in the opposition to the Iranian government.

He has repeatedly called for protests against the Islamic Republic and advocated for the removal of the current regime from power, as well as closer relation with the Western world and Israel.

Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, was killed on Saturday by US and Israeli strikes in Iran.

An assembly of experts have been tasked with appointing the next leader mandated by Iranian law.

In the meantime, a three-man transitional council comprising the president, head of the judiciary, and a member of the guardians’ council has been appointed to lead the country.

“For nearly five decades, this terrorist regime has sown chaos and bloodshed across our region,” Pahlavi said on Friday.

He spoke in a video statement posted on his X account.

According to the exiled prince, “the Iranian people have called on me to lead the transition after the regime is gone.”

“I have accepted that responsibility. Part of their great mandate to me is to return our nation and our foreign relations to normalcy. I will do exactly that,” he said.

“My commitment is to ensure the transition is orderly, the country is stabilized, and Iranians determine their future through the ballot box.

“Iranians have made their choice — at an enormous price. Now I ask our friends in the Arab world to join us. To prepare to recognize and engage our transitional government.”

The assembly of experts have yet to announce Khamenei’s successor. The Iranian supreme leader has the final say in the affairs of the country.

United States President Donald Trump has spoken about the possibility of the United States directing its next military action toward Cuba after the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

Naija News reports that Trump made the remark on Thursday at the White House while receiving players and officials of Inter Miami CF, winners of the 2025 Major League Soccer title.

During the event, the US leader spoke about the ongoing military operations involving the United States and its ally Israel against Iran.

He explained that the current focus of his administration remains on the situation in Iran.

While addressing the gathering, which included many people with Cuban roots, Trump spoke about developments surrounding Cuba and suggested that attention could later shift to the island nation once the conflict with Iran is settled.

“What’s happening with Cuba is amazing. We think that we want to fix, finish this one first, but that will be just a question of time before you and a lot of unbelievable people are going to be going back to Cuba, hopefully not to stay,” he said.

His comments suggested that Washington might consider dealing with issues concerning Cuba after completing its present military campaign connected to the crisis in Iran.

The statement comes as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise.

The United States and Israel have been involved in military actions linked to Iran, with the conflict entering another week and drawing global attention.

Trump also told those present at the event that American and Israeli forces were still carrying out their operations as the situation unfolds.

Mirasteel:
America and Israel has been the cancer in this world.

Genesis 12:3
God promise to israel.
Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

A missile strike attributed to Iran has hit a major oil facility in Bahrain, triggering a large explosion and fire at the country’s largest petroleum refinery.

Footage circulating online shows a huge fireball erupting at the main refinery operated by Bahrain Petroleum Company in the industrial area of Ma’ameer following what officials described as a ballistic missile strike.

Authorities confirmed that a facility in the oil infrastructure zone had been targeted. “One facility in Ma’ameer was targeted, and the relevant authorities are handling the incident,” the Bahrain Ministry of Interior said in a statement shared on social media.

Officials later confirmed that emergency services were able to bring the blaze under control. “The fire that broke out in one of the facilities in Ma’ameer, which was targeted by the Iranian aggression, has been brought under control. Limited material damage was reported, with no loss of life,” the ministry said.

The refinery is located in one of Bahrain’s key industrial zones, which hosts several facilities producing petroleum products and industrial materials such as concrete and asphalt.

The incident marks another escalation in attacks on oil infrastructure across the Gulf region, which analysts say could have wider implications for global energy markets.
Military experts say the strike may also be linked to Bahrain’s close strategic relationship with the United States, which maintains strong security and defence ties with the Gulf kingdom.
