1n 2012 this same man organised the biggest protest against the removal of fuel ⛽️ subsidy.

This same man was caught on camera in 2019 with two bullion vans on election eve

This same man proposed to buhari that he should print money to run the country.

In 2022 this same man said that if Nigeria do not enjoy constant power supply he shouldn't be returned to office.

If this man had been president of Nigeria since 2011, you the poster go don kpai from acute starvation.

We can no longer given to fear. The state community police Bill will soon be passage and signed by president. More people, communities will have access to firearms to counter the effect of the terrorists.
Alright, governor Mutfwang has set the template, by giving the order that, any one found destroying farmland should be shoot at sight. Good development and welcome development.

My brother, state police is just like the federal police. Am an advocate for rural communities having automatic tools to hold hold before arrival of federal forces.
Nigeria is under hardened tribal colonisation.

From the records so far, terrorists in Nigeria only operate as bandits. They hide in the forest and only attack border communities and remote areas where they can easily flee on sighting security agencies. The purpose of these attacks are mostly cattle rustling, kidnapping for ransome and looting of village markets especially food stocks. These groups might be affiliated to Al-Qaeda or BokoHaram but they don't operate as jihadi groups instead they operate as criminals, raiding communities and kidnapping travellers. Meanwhile, Jihadists in other countries of the world attack state institutions as they push for state capture. No town, city or state capital in Nigeria has ever come under attack by any of these groups. These attacks can escalate if their safe heavens in the forest comes under security operations especially with Donald Trump's intervention. What will happen is that they will start carrying out revenge on the villagers while some will start escaping from the bushes and forcing their way into towns. It is like throwing stones at a beehive thereby forcing the bees to scatter all over the area.

These groups might be affiliated to Al-Qaeda or BokoHaram but they don't operate as jihadi groups instead they operate as criminals, raiding communities and kidnapping travellers.

Point of correction, they're ISIS sleeper cells waiting to overrun Nigeria. All this kidnapping money is for more weapons and buying abusive substance.

ottersberger:
There's nothing Nigeria military in this operation. Nigeria that were unable to eliminate ragtag fulani militia who are operating right under their noses. The US does what it knows how to do. These failures want to tag along because of territorial claim. MQ9 reaper and C130 gunships got the job done. Which of these does Nigeria have?.

AC-130 is game over for terrorist. The sound of gun burst from the skies is terrifying.

Beyond Division: Scrutinising the Narrative of a “Silent War” Against the Muslim North

The argument that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is waging a “silent war” against the Muslim North is emotionally powerful, but it overlooks a broader and more complex national reality. Nigeria’s challenges today are not regional problems created by one administration; they are long-standing structural crises that have built up over decades under governments led by both northern and southern elites. Insecurity, poverty, unemployment, and poor educational outcomes in the North did not begin in 2023, and it is unfair to suggest that one administration suddenly manufactured problems that have existed for years.
The security crisis in northern Nigeria is indeed painful, but the Tinubu administration inherited an already fragile situation shaped by banditry, terrorism, communal violence, and weak local governance. Rather than abandoning the North, the federal government has continued military operations, intelligence coordination, and security funding across affected regions. The persistence of insecurity should not automatically be interpreted as deliberate hostility toward northern Muslims. Criminal violence has also affected southern communities, oil-producing areas, and central Nigeria, proving that insecurity is a national challenge rather than a targeted campaign.
Claims of systematic marginalisation through appointments also deserve closer scrutiny. While some northern Muslim political figures have lost influence or left office, political reshuffling is normal in democratic systems. Changes involving figures such as Abdullahi Ganduje or Nasir El-Rufai cannot automatically be framed as evidence of anti-Muslim persecution. Political alliances evolve, and governments frequently reorganize leadership positions based on strategy, performance, or internal party calculations. Interpreting every political change through a religious lens risks deepening division and mistrust.
It is also important to remember that several influential northern Muslims continue to occupy strategic positions in government. Figures such as Muhammad Ali Pate, Atiku Bagudu, and Nuhu Ribadu remain central to policy discussions and national governance. This weakens the argument that the administration is intentionally excluding the Muslim North from power or decision-making.
The anti-corruption investigations involving former officials should also not be reduced to ethnicity or religion. Nigeria’s anti-graft institutions have investigated politicians from different regions and political backgrounds over the years. Suggesting that accountability efforts are automatically anti-northern may unintentionally discourage transparency and reinforce the dangerous belief that public officials should be protected from scrutiny simply because of regional identity.
Another overlooked issue is the role of northern political elites themselves. Many of the developmental problems facing the North are connected to decades of poor governance at state and local levels. Education, healthcare, agriculture, and social welfare are heavily influenced by governors and local administrations. Blaming only the federal government risks ignoring the responsibility of regional leaders who controlled resources and political structures long before the current administration came into power.
The Muslim-Muslim ticket of 2023 was primarily a political calculation aimed at electoral victory, not a permanent ethnic or religious contract. Supporters defended it on the grounds of competence and national stability, not because it guaranteed exclusive benefits for northern Muslims. Democracy works best when governments are evaluated by policies and performance rather than expectations of sectional favoritism.
There is also danger in framing national hardship as a religious war. Such narratives may increase fear, resentment, and polarization among Nigerians who already face deep social tensions. Nigeria’s unity depends on resisting narratives that divide citizens into opposing religious or regional camps. Criticism of government is legitimate and necessary in a democracy, but it should be grounded in evidence and national interest rather than collective suspicion.
Rather than seeing the Tinubu administration as an enemy of the North, a more constructive approach is to demand measurable development: improved security, stronger schools, job creation, agricultural investment, and better healthcare. These goals require cooperation between federal authorities, northern governors, traditional institutions, civil society, and local communities. Sustainable progress will come not from narratives of betrayal, but from collective accountability and practical governance.
Ultimately, Nigeria’s survival depends on rejecting fear-driven politics and embracing national inclusion. President Tinubu’s administration, like every government before it, should be criticized where necessary and supported where progress is visible. But portraying the country’s challenges as a calculated war against the Muslim North risks weakening national cohesion at a time when unity and responsible leadership are needed most.

How come fuel is not cheap in Lagos despite Dangote refinery?

Do you know how much we buy down north with shitty adjusted pump.

Where are the Cows

madridguy:
This is a very sad news. Yoruba leaders are not doing anything to stop the bandits. They're still playing the omoluabi game with our enemies.

Everyone must come out and ban open grazing and stop treating every arrested bandits as a human by taking them to court.

Treat them the way Ghanian government are treating them and they will run away from the region.

Madridguy hope your international passport for Cotonou IDP don ready.
RIP to the dead.

His money, his choice, we need investment too. Steel, tyres and Glass🤷🏿

Advantage of subsidy removal. The state and Rivers will access cheaper fuel

You people are always sad with development and that's why your life has been so difficult

I guess your is difficult.

Lagos oOoOO, funded by federal or state government

And that Bishop is spewing rubbish.

truthera:
It is no longer news that the south west region has been invaded by terrorists. Let it not be misconstrued that these attacks and abductions will end or be restricted to the south west because that was the mistake that many yorubas made, they laughed, made a jest of it because of their support for Tinubu's government while underestimating the abiliies of these deadly fulani attackers when they started attacking Kwara and Kogi states. Igbos and other tribes in the South South region need to begin the preparatory process on how they will confront this crisis when it eventually gets to their regions, let no one be fooled or remain willfully naive to the notion that these attacks won't spread to their region. Now is the time for the igbos, ijaws, itsekiris, ibibios, etc to activate, boost and upgrade all local regional security systems like the ESN and other JTF local security initiatives in preparation to defend their regions when the time comes.... To be forewarned is forearmed! Do not wait to be taken by surprise, killed, abducted and conquered.... Nigeria's compromised government won't and can't save you!

Madridguy shey you dey listen, I still remain your favorite prophet. Meanwhile Madridguy hope your international passport for Cotonou IDP don ready, Lagos is not safe as you think.

Misconceptions About Female Virginity We Need To Address😤

A lot of conversations around virginity in Nigeria focus on what a woman “owes” a man. But the truth is simple: sexual purity is first a gift a woman gives to herself, not anybody else.

When a young woman avoids early sex, she’s protecting her own future no early pregnancy, no STDs, fewer emotional scars, and a clearer head to build her life.

Another point many people still misunderstand: not every woman bleeds during her first sexual experience. The hymen is not a “seal” but a thin, stretchy tissue that differs from person to person. Sports, cycling, stretching, medical exams, and even tampon use can affect it. So bleeding (or not bleeding) is not proof of anything.

Ironically, many men already know this but the society won't let them trust the authenticity of a noble process🥲 This is why as a lady, it becomes important to hold these conversations with 'him' ensuring his level of maturity transcends that level of understanding.

At the same time, the cultural value many Nigerian men place on marrying a virgin is not wrong... Just look at Nairaland, there's that guy that asks on every wedding photoshoot thread if she's a virgin🥲 ...It encourages discipline, culture, responsibility, and stable family values. But women should also demand the same standard: if you’re keeping yourself, make sure the man you choose is also morally, emotionally, and sexually disciplined

Purity shouldn’t be one one-sided and I think this is especially important for parents of boys to teach their kids. A sexually disciplined man will not only reach great heights, he lessens the number of traps anyone could use for him💯

There’s a unique pride, peace of mind, and emotional stability that comes with sexual purity no fear of infections, no past body count regrets, no unnecessary soul ties. And yes, there’s a confidence in walking through your street or campus with your head high, knowing you’re a diamond nobody has ever accessed.

Let’s promote facts, responsibility, and mutual respect not pressure or shame.

Gagare1:
I hope it will be a short read.

So, there is this person I met during my undergrad years who was into youth ministry in the campus. He is a family man. I was introduced to him by a family that I consider my spiritual parents, and being the passionate type about the Christian faith, I trusted him and we started doing Bible study and other campus outreach programs. Our friendship grew well enough that sometimes I visit his house during the weekend (along with other youths he relates with) for Bible studies and what not. With time, I got to trust him enough to allow him into my personal space, which is not something I do easily because I am an introvert (until I trust you, then I sanguinize rapidly).

Fast forward to about two years later, I entered my first relationship with a lady and I hoped to marry her, so I introduced her to him. Gbam! Things started changing between us. Whenever she and I had issues (mainly bordering around her closeness with guys and her dislike of other ladies, even my own relatives) he seemed to take her side, always blaming me for being rigid. Now, he might be right that I am rigid, because we clearly disagreed on certain issues like him claiming to have more authority over me than my own parents because he is my spiritual leader, which I firmly disagreed. Or him saying a good man will forgive a cheating wife, for which I replied "she will go to her father's house and NOBODY can make me take her back". And many other instances.

Now, as time went by I got fed up with her flirting with random guys, and her lack of commitment to the relationship, treating me like an option. So when I graduated and left her on campus, I decided to gradually end the relationship by telling her to simply go ahead and commit to any guy she feels an attraction to, since I will no longer be around. Any reasonable person would have understood what it meant. As God will have it, about two months later, I met the lady that will later become my wife. But I didn't even try to woo her until after about six months when I was on NYSC camp. So everything was done via phone. First, I called my ex and officially ended the relationship, then call the new lady and professed my love.

Despite almost a full year of separation, all hell broke loosed after that call. My ex reported me to that mutual friend, who immediately went ballistic on me. He threatened to take unpleasant measures against me if I don't retract my words and come to the table. Table? To eat what? Tuwo ko Gurasa? I maintained my stance, telling him, "When I return from camp I will come to see you, but don't expect any change in my decision, I will only come to officially tell about it". And that was what I did. And for about two years, we were estranged.

However, when it was time for me to marry, I thought it will be good for me to honour him for the five years we spent together as friends on campus, at least he was kind of a guardian in a way. So I personally travelled interstate to meet him and address any grievance, even offering him the honor of being the guest preacher on my wedding. Now, I had to bypass a host of ordained ministers who were colleagues of my Dad, to choose him. In fact, some of them even told my Dad that they hoped he would have chosen them to minister at his youngest son's wedding, but I made my choice, and my Dad respected it. Of course, he chose his own friend to do solemnization.
Everything went smoothly.

About two years later, my wife and I decided to visit his family for Easter, we went with our daughter who was barely a year old. We spent two days. After about a year we visited again, but this time we returned with a clear decision to end any close relationship with him, choosing to simply treat him as an acquaintance and no longer a family friend. But why the drastic measure?

Here it is:
During the second visit, in the course of our discussion, only the two of us, he admitted jokingly that on their way back from our wedding, where he preached, they were discussing about how I chose not to marry a lady that matches my educational level and age, but instead went to marry a small girl with lesser education because I want to control her. But I will be shocked with what I will get, because that small girl will surprise me (i.e. deal with me).
Literally laying a curse on the very wedding he preached on. That was it!

Ever since we returned, for more than three years now, I give him cold feet. He has tried many times to get us to visit but I always find a way to avoid it. I simply don't feel my family is safe around them. The trust is no longer there.

On more than two occasions, he called my wife telling her to ask me what his offense was, that I am ignoring him. For me, it is a matter of family security.

By the way, the age gap between my wife and I is 5 years only. But she has a small body, so people think she is a small girl. I love that woman too much to risk loosing my guard, not for anyone, much less someone who cursed us while we smiled at each other.

I am open to mature advise.

Did I really go too far by redefining our relationship with him?

Tuwo ko Gurasa 😅🤣😂

Move on with your life, step up your hustle.

You need a shop, most Nigerians are traditional. E get why 🤷🏿

Don't spend that money until confirmation.

Deeprooted:
I won't bore you with unnecessary details.

My immediate younger sister is less than 2 years in her marriage with no children yet.

On the 13th of February, this year, her sister in-law moved in with her 6 children.

My sister thought it was just a visit only to be informed by the husband that his sister was divorced and would be with them for a few days.

Since her arrival with her children, my sister lost everything that has to do with privacy in her matrimonial home.

Dishes unwashed, a bag of rice lasts less than a month, the sitting room littered with dishes.

My sister has become a stranger in her home as the sister in-law now advises her husband against being too loving.

I love my sister so much and I'm already thinking of taking her away from that toxic environment.


I want my sister to leave the marriage since the husband is not helping matters with her sister.

This 17th of May and the sister in-law and her children are not making any arrangements of getting an apartment of their own.

What would you advise my sister to do?

The husband should send them to family house, if none, rent their own apartment. Hope she spoke out about not loving statement 🤷🏿. Your sister will decide wen she wants to leave 🤷🏿

He can't escape the loss awaiting him tomorrow .

Goldrosewine:
This is very disturbing. I can only imagine what those women and young girls in their captivity endure everyday. They literally stripped that woman naked and kept on whipping her despite her pleas of not being 'well'

Horrible country!

This boys are aged from 15-25 , very evil.

Watch out for anti party

A lesson to future politicians.
