Let's even assume common sense is not common! Ain't you aware that Irans nuclear was destroyed ? Ain't you aware almost all their leaders & generals have been killed ? Ain't you aware that their present supreme leader has not made a public appearance & or made any reasonable statement for over a month ? Ain't you aware that their boastful generals roaming the streets few weeks ago have all been killed ? No single General of Israel has been injured talkess of being killed ! Are people blind or just defiant to information. Now I understand the true meaning of gullible people. SMH

OGOLMEKZ95: Is you acting strange…. So Putin just woke up one day and start bombing them, you mean nothing triggered the attack? 😔😢
Putin was trying to claim Crimea which falls in. Ukraine after the secession because they later found out there were loads of uranium there, Ukraine refused & that prompted the war. Why I said you should get informed, read or watch about it.
Ndimkpurummiri: If Atiku picked Peter Obi as his running mate, they would lose because Peter Obi’s supporters, who should vote, are already in different prisons around the world
[quote author=chopnaira post=139057991]BRRAKIN: H.E @funsodoherty has officially declared his intention to run for the office of Governor of Lagos State under the platform of the African Democratic Congress today.
Indeed the ADC (the main opposition party) has a strong and sellable candidate in Lagos State.

A coalition of prominent Nigerian political figures on Wednesday staged a protest in Abuja, demanding reforms in the country’s electoral system and accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of bias.
The demonstration, tagged “Occupy INEC” and “Save Our Democracy,” was spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, alongside Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi.
Also present were the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola, former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal, and former senator Dino Melaye, among other party leaders and supporters.
Trigger for the Protest
The protest follows INEC’s decision to withdraw recognition from the ADC leadership after a Court of Appeal ruling, a move the demonstrators described as politically motivated.
Organisers said the action was aimed at drawing attention to what they termed increasing interference in the electoral process and the need to safeguard Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
Atiku Abubakar, who had earlier announced the protest, said it was a peaceful demonstration driven by a commitment to protect democracy and prevent any slide toward authoritarian rule.
Voices from the Streets
At the protest venue, demonstrators chanted “Ojoro”, a slang expression suggesting electoral malpractice, while holding placards bearing inscriptions such as “Tinubu, why are you afraid?”, “Let democracy breathe,” and “Judges must give justice.”
Participants also sang “Arise, O Compatriots,” Nigeria’s former national anthem, in what appeared to be a symbolic expression of national unity and civic responsibility.
Amaechi Urges Citizens to Act
Addressing the crowd, Rotimi Amaechi called on Nigerians to take an active role in defending the country’s democracy.
He warned against political manipulation and emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
According to Amaechi, the protest reflects a broader commitment among political leaders to demand credible, free, and transparent elections, adding that safeguarding democracy is a responsibility that extends beyond politicians to all citizens.
Rising Political Undercurrents
The joint appearance of Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso, and other influential figures—many of whom were rivals in the 2023 presidential election—has fueled speculation about possible political realignments ahead of 2027.
Analysts say the protest signals growing concern among opposition leaders over electoral credibility and could mark the early stages of coalition-building.
Call for Electoral Integrity
The protesters urged INEC to remain independent and uphold its constitutional responsibility to conduct free and fair elections.
They warned that any perceived bias could erode public trust and weaken Nigeria’s democratic framework.
The protest underscores increasing political tension as the country gradually shifts focus toward the 2027 general elections, with stakeholders calling for transparency, accountability, and stronger democratic institutions.
When all this thieves are no more in govt or unable to steal anymore, they all of a sudden become fake oppositions & pretend to be on the side of this gullible Nigerians running from pillar to post with them.
Isn't that Ameachi that said Nigerians are not hungry few years ago ? I don't blame this useless leaders, but their useless gullible followers.

With what I'm already seeing in Nigeria with Muslim terrorists you think we will like anyone that promotes the ideology?
If you're so concerned about Iran, what stops you from relocating there?
I know if you have opportunity to leave Nigeria, Iran will never be in your options.
Hypocrite
Big hypocrites and dumb supporters of terrorist supported nation. Until terrorist kill their very close family member before they realise & feel the real pain Bloody hypocrites & fake ass people. Ordinary protest against insecurity in Naija, they cant. Supporting a country that doesn't even know they exist
it that you are insensitive and blinded to see reasons that just one country with A classified information shows they are linked to many terrorist destroying people & also recently the country closed a pathway to trade for a lot of countries plunging the whole world to surge in fuel prices. US has warned & will act if iran don't plead or open the hormuz at once. Do you think this people are jokers of propagandist like you. You are the truth & acting blind
saintopus: After the Exit of Trunp, it will take US so many years to rebuild the devastating image of the country Trump has caused. Perhaps the US may not recover again.
If only she guided her tongue, she would not have changed the destiny of her daughter. I hope her daughter forgives her for changing the course of her life. Pathetically she will have to return to an unsafe Iran to live & thats how destinies change.
Nigerians (or the sensible ones at least) are fed up with endless excuses for failure. Over a decade of APC leadership and the excuses for abject failure keep pouring in.
No more excuses.
^^^ This is good as a general prayer. But we are dealing with specifics now.
We already understand how things work. But things aren't working - that's the whole point.
Failure shouldn't be rewarded. Why should a party that has steadily been increasing the number of poor people (for over 10 years) be retained?
No more excuses.
Anyway, my submission is that you should criticise lesser & whichever you can add value to the country, if only by helping to take care of the street you stay or live in shows you want impact & change begins with me & you. All those guys in position are not very different from me & you. They are humans too. I hope you understand.
NairalandBishop: Will they ever listen to you? All the issues in Nigeria is not there problem it's only how to support a terrorist regime. A regime that once smuggled arms into the country to the hands of terrorists but was intercepted. This is the country they are supporting.
No single Iranian have protested the killings in Nigeria for once. Oops I've forgotten Northerners themselves are not protesting, but they would protest against the US and Israel about the war in Iran
You get the point exactly. There priorities are very misplaced. As in one just wonders how they think and how they were brought up

How many promises have you made in your lifetime either as manager of people or anything & you fulfilled all ? So let's assume as claimed the govt is that bad, do you mean there is nothing good they are doing ? Which of them has ever gotten right ? Have you forgotten that until the younger generations take over & try. It has been some people recycling theirselves in power ? All trying to vie for the position right now have been in govt in various capacities! What drastic change did they make ? Is it Obi ? Atiku or who ? I can beat my chest that they will be worst off if they ever get the chance. Moreover citizens & the likes of you are the hardest set of people to rule, cos most of you will be worst off if ever given a chance. Cos the most critics end up eaten their words when they get the test to even be a councillor.
A soldier at a busy road checkpoint flags down a young lady riding on the back of a bike and orders her to get down because of her outfit — a striped crop top and black shorts. The shaky handheld camera captures the entire moment as she complies and stands by the sandbags while traffic and other riders pass by. The person recording says: “This soldier at a checkpoint stopped a girl on a ride and ordered her to come down because of what she was wearing. This is the type of army we need.” Is this strict discipline or abuse of power? Should the military be acting as fashion police at checkpoints while insecurity remains a major issue? Drop your thoughts in the comments
Misplaced priority on the part of the Soilder. They need to get him more busy, probably somewhere in Borno or Sokoto axis
