odejimioflagos: Nigeria is a sovereign nation. We solve Nigerian problems with Nigerian solutions. No foreign interference allowed.
We appreciate the US support in tackling terrorism but we will not entertain any threats to our sovereignty.
A sovereign nation indeed! A country with myopic and wicked leaders A country with bad policies makers A country that care about citizens A country with leaders that choose to negotiate with bandits and terrorist while they fire at peaceful protesters…You cant eat your cake and have it.
Nigeria has gone from worse to worst in pro max and when some of us say Nigeria is a zoo they tagged it “you are not patriotic” or “Nigeria is safe for foreign investors”.
If you fail to plan you are automatically planning to fail.
Outthemudbyvoke: Wike never misses a chance to remind everyone that he’s Minister of FCT, but honestly, this man understands the media game better than most politicians. Every month he holds a press chat like it’s his own TV show. Love him or hate him, Wike is bold he says things as they are, no sugarcoating. But this whole Sowore said, I said, they said drama just shows how politics in Nigeria has turned into entertainment. Wike might as well start a YouTube channel
Most times I see Wike as a jester and content creator
Masterstroke4: Top officials of the Federal Government and the National Assembly are set to travel to Washington D.C. in a diplomatic move to stop possible United States sanctions over alleged persecution and genocide of Christians in Nigeria.
The high-powered delegation, which includes federal lawmakers, senior military officers, and heads of security agencies, will meet with members of the U.S. Congress to clarify Nigeria’s position and counter the growing narrative of “Christian genocide.”
The trip follows an urgent resolution by the 10th Senate, sponsored by Senator Ali Ndume, who urged the government to “put the record straight” and prevent sanctions against the country.
According to sources, the delegation will present evidence to prove that the security crisis in Nigeria is not religiously motivated but rather a result of terrorism, banditry, and communal conflicts. The team is expected to depart Abuja early next week.
In recent months, U.S. lawmakers and advocacy groups have increased pressure on Nigeria over rising attacks on Christian communities. Senator Ted Cruz recently accused Nigeria of “mass murder” of Christians and introduced the “Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025” (S.2747). The proposed bill seeks to list Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” a move that could trigger travel bans, arms restrictions, and other economic sanctions.
The Nigerian Senate had earlier dismissed the genocide allegations as “false and dangerous,” warning that such claims could damage the country’s image and inflame religious tensions.
Lawmakers maintained that the ongoing violence is complex and tied to criminality and resource struggles, not state-backed religious persecution.
Data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) shows that between January 2020 and September 2025, over 11,800 civilian attacks were recorded in Nigeria. Among them, 385 incidents involved Christian victims, while 196 targeted Muslims, reflecting the widespread nature of insecurity across regions.
The Federal Government considers the Washington mission crucial to maintaining bilateral relations with the U.S. and protecting Nigeria’s access to international security partnerships. Officials fear that any sanctions could strain cooperation in intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, and defense support.
Meanwhile, some U.S. lawmakers remain firm in their stance. Representative Anna Luna said, “Christians are being hunted and slaughtered in Nigeria for their faith — and the world stays silent. If this were any other group, there’d be global outrage.” Nigerian politics book
Her colleague, Nancy Mace, added: “Defend Nigerian Christians. Islamic terrorists are killing believers for worshipping Christianity while the world is looking the other way.”
It could be recalled earlier this month, the Nigerian Senate condemned similar claims made by foreign advocacy groups, describing them as politically motivated and disconnected from the realities of the country’s security challenges.
Clowns in agbada🤣
You are going to the US to prove what exactly? What a time to be alive instead of them to fix security they are busy dilly dallying in circles like headless chickens. Woe unto all of them
I saw a lot of comments with laugh and mockery emoji.
Now to digress a lil bit this same Nigeria that a group of bandits were negotiating openly and no one arrested them? Or the same Nigeria that Buhari granted Amnesty to terrorist? The same Nigeria where presidential pardon was given to drug baron and a murderer?
Once there is protest you suddenly see more than enough riot and mobile policemen while the same Abuja where Sommie lost her life to robbers and police did not show up..it tells you a lot about this country I rest my case
Mrchippychappy: The same people fighting them are the same ones committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria bro. We have to support them.
Where did you get that statement from? Can you proof this thing you said here in the court of law? Israel should face their problems and let us face ours because I dont understand where this your “ We have to support them” talk is heading to.
Mrchippychappy: Inspired by what the Kenyans did recently with their march for Israel, I am trying to start a million man march for this cause. We need to raise support for God's people all over Nigeria, we would start from Kaduna and then Kano and Katsina as well. Are there others who might be interested?
March for Israel how? Everybody should paddle their own canoe.
eldoradoxx: While Wike is busy dancing, insulting people, Abuja has fallen into the level of insecurity never seen before under his watch. It's a pity.
But this was the reason I wrote sometime that police should be respected. Now they are asking for patrols. Who would patrol if not these same policemen the citizens mock and even assault them in public. There may be some bad ones amongst them, but making public mockery of the police gives criminals the confidence to cause havoc. Where is that woman who was assaulting policeman the other time? Can she also stand against this kind of criminals? People would hail her online b, but when real criminals come she will still be asking for the police to show up
The criminals who caused this should be made to face the full wrath of the law.
My Post does not supposed this criminal acts. It only emphasises the need to also encourage our Forcemen.
Police will forever be mocked, disrespected and a few times assaulted until they put on their thinking cap to do things the civil way.
They have killed civilians with the excuse of “accidental discharge” how do you want such families to hail the police or should we go down the memory lane of what to lead to EndSars.
The ever garrulous, pompous and supposedly active Wike will never address this during media chats instead he uses that platform to shade his perceived enemies in a manner that displays his level of pettiness. If the seat of power is not safe it means nowhere is safe in Nigeria it is truly sad.
SolaOmoniyi: Billionaire lawmaker claims actress Annie Idibia and another individual are supplying drugs to his wife, Regina Daniels, amid her alleged addiction struggles.
A fresh controversy has hit Nigeria’s entertainment and political circles as Senator Ned Nwoko, billionaire businessman and husband to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has accused Annie Idibia, the estranged wife of music icon 2Baba, of being one of his wife’s alleged drug suppliers.
In a statement posted on his verified Facebook account, Nwoko alleged that his wife, Regina Daniels, has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, which has led to violent behavior and chaos in his home. While addressing claims of domestic violence, he insisted that he has never assaulted Regina but instead has been the victim of her aggression.
Breaking his silence on the ongoing crisis, Nwoko wrote:
“Another known supplier of drugs to Regina is the tiny evil devil called Ann.”
abc115: Senator Ben Murray-Bruce officially announced his defection to the APC today.
In a statement he released, he expressed his belief that under Bola Tinubu’s leadership, characterized by both courage and intellect, the Nigeria we have all aspired to will be realized.
The statement reads: “I have known President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu since 1998. I know the man’s mind, his courage, and his conviction. He is not driven by applause, he is driven by results. And today, I can boldly say to you that he is on the right track.
“For the first time in our nation’s history, we have a President who truly understands finance, who sees the economy not as a political slogan, but as a living organism that must be disciplined, deregulated, and allowed to breathe.
“The painful reforms we face today are the very foundation of tomorrow’s prosperity. We are moving into a free-market economy, one that rewards hard work and innovation instead of dependency and distortion.
“Look around you: under this administration, the appointment of the National Security Adviser has redefined our national safety architecture. Insecurity is being quietly and systematically dismantled. The Central Bank, now professionally steered, is stabilizing the economy, rebuilding confidence, and restoring the dignity of the naira.
“Our foreign policy is again respected. Our fuel supply is deregulated. We will never again live through the humiliation of fuel scarcity. The numbers are beginning to speak, investments are returning, and the world is watching Nigeria rise again.
“And beyond economics, Bola Tinubu’s infrastructural drive is unprecedented; from massive road networks to modernized ports, airports and housing schemes springing up across the nation. These developments are not just concrete and steel; they are the arteries through which growth and opportunity now flow.
“I know it is still a difficult season for many families. But as history teaches, reform is never painless. Yet, it is in these moments of sacrifice that nations are reborn.
“That is why today, I am joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), not for politics, but for progress. Because I believe that Bola Tinubu’s leadership, guided by courage and intellect, will deliver the Nigeria we have all dreamed of.
“Mark my words: in the full term of eight years, Nigeria will witness phenomenal growth. I choose to stand with that vision. I choose to stand with reform. I choose to stand with the future.
“Thank you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
helinues: Rufai can't be rude to people and be thinking he's always right. His question is not logical.
When you budget for a road projects, there are unseen things in the initial plans, that's why the budget is always over estimated
For example, there are new linking roads to the Lagos Calabar coastal highway which wasn't in the initial plan
Looking at your response means Rufai’s questions were logical You know how politicians display the “my way or the highway” thingy that is what Umahi was playing…you should know better my gee.
Rufai will always get under skin no matter what you do and that is his job…tell Umahi to go NTA next time
akaahs: How is Rufai rude? Those questions are technical for a minister to answer knowing fully well that his profession. If he feels no need of answering, dodge it than going confrontational
Helinues is always backward in both arguments and opinions so you should not be surprise nah
Umahi knows what he is doing..he is just doing what most politicians do…my way or the highway 😄
greatseed: Shut up & think before you support a daft questioner like Rufai. You don't request a cost per kilometre in such manner. They are so many factors to consider before it looks outrageous to a novice or lay men such as you & so called rufai. N.B. I am not against the point that they are some corrupt officials. But in this case, questions are asked more professionally, not like a dunce would without being more analytical & constructive. You would have seen a big difference in smartness, if Dr Ruben Abati asked the same question. He is still more grounded & earned to ask such technical questions. Unlike rufai who talks like a drop out forcing himself to be relevant at every slight opportunity. Not a way to go!
I will ignore your remarks “daft” and the word “shut up” but next time use proper paragraphs and spacing in your sentences so that other people can read it properly.
Back to your talk Once someone has one or two things to hide they will and will always get apprehensive and defensive in their speech and reactions. A simple question like “how much is the cost per kilometer” shouldn't bruise Umahi’s ego to the extent of saying “I am Professor in Engineering”” and went further to say “He is a prof in practice” nahhh we dont care.
Either you or anybody likes it or not Rufai is good at what he does…Arise is not NTA where they will pamper him and Umahi should know better to behave like an adult to answer questions correctly not react like he is on excess steroids.
Only people with shady or deceptive characters move in that manner 😁
chipet67: You guys are very creepy. Simple st¢pid questions, and annoying ones at that. He should learn how to be objective like Seun. There's a difference between TV interview and market women questioning.
They are simple and straight-forward questions There is nothing creepy about what I said unless your definition for creepy is something else.
Nobody forced Umahi to book a session with Arise as he would have gone to NTA where they will massage his ego or sing him plenty praises in high heavens.
You even went far to call it a market question 😄 you are a clown Tell me who brags up and down saying he is a Prof in Engineering then went further to say “Professor in pratice”….is that not creepy and shallow enough?
LARRYOBRAIN: Hope Rufai too will not jump from the window? In our culture, we respect elders; whether you are a journalist, it does not change the narrative
Culture and respect are two different things
Elders who behave like toddlers will definitely be treated as one Respecting people doesnt mean you should fear or cant question them when they are moving in circles…you dont force respect you earn it 💯
Always playing “older than you” or “who are you” tune and for clarity purpose Umahi is not only answerable to his boss he is also accountable to Nigerians.
Politicians love praises but once they are questioned they get defensive and agitated.
It shows the kind of arrogant and ego-driven kind of people we have in power.
He couldnt hold back his emotions and kept playing the “older than you” tune….simple questions that he can either answer with explanations or prolly dodge it instead he went berserk like that cartoon character “Angry bird”.
The truth is that people in power are not accountable and never wants to be questioned or grilled they prefer praises all the time.
For Rufai he did a great job and see no reason why anyone he is calling him out
press9jatv: May her soul rest in perfect peace. She shouldn't have jumped from the 3 floor of the storey building 🏫
Make your comment and move on.
You people should stop this “she shouldn’t have jump” talk..we act and react to things differently when danger is closeby. It is called fight or flight hormone
