No need to tell them.
Yes. Allah mentions several times in the Quran that some people become so entrenched in disbelief that no amount of reasoning, warning, or evidence will make them believe unless Allah wills.

One of the clearest verses is:

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنْذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ﴾

“Indeed, those who disbelieve, it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.”

Source: The Quran

The next verse explains why:

﴿خَتَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ﴾

“Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing…”

Source: The Quran

Another powerful example is:

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ۝ وَلَوْ جَاءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ آيَةٍ﴾

“Indeed, those upon whom the word of your Lord has come into effect will not believe, even if every sign were to come to them.”

Source: The Quran

And Allah instructed the Prophet ﷺ:

﴿فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ۝ لَسْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمُصَيْطِرٍ﴾

“So remind. You are only a reminder. You are not a controller over them.”

Source: The Quran

The lesson is that your duty is to convey the truth with wisdom and patience. Guidance of hearts belongs to Allah alone. Even the Prophet ﷺ could not make every person believe despite presenting the clearest proofs. Allah says:

﴿إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ﴾

“Indeed, you do not guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He wills.”

The Yoruba adage says: Where a wise man is holding a bunch of thread and getting it lost, if you give a heavy iron to a fool he will not only get it lost but will perish with the iron. If TINUBU seems not to be performing, then who among the rest of the politicians can even do a quarter of what he’s doing. We trust and believe in his capacity. After, 2031, we will rate him then. I and my followers are voting him!!

LagosOrigin:
Peter Obi is different . He even carries his luggage himself as a governor of anambra state and after he left office .

But behind this humble politician is a man who seriously dealt with trouble makers and criminals in his state back in the days as governor. Peter Obi made sure that the trouble makers criminals got the Israelites IDF treatment.. while some were sent to jail.

This terorists destroying our beloved country while tinubu looks away will be surely dealt with under Peter Obi leadership, I'm very surely about that .

You are painting the picture of a man that cannot even trust anyone with his luggage

So we have over 10million registered apc members.

Few days ago was the first time in my life I'm hearing if this Osifo man. E sure me say he didn't contribute a dime to this election process. Apc just needed someone to contest the primary with mr President, and this guy made himself available.

An unknown politician from obscurity was cleared by the committee to contest against Tinubu

Think we’ll. If they need any stronger politicians they could get willingly but it’s not that easy to get a foolish young man

Dont worry, he might not even get number 3 position

Trying to kill a cobra inside a hole. It would pop out it’s head and I would try to smash it. Then, it started to puff out it’s deadly saliva. It didn't bite; it delivered its malice from afar, projecting a fine, pressurized stream of neurotoxins that hung in the air for a split second before finding its mark straight to my eyes. The whole sky turned grey. And then black. Fortunately my last swing of the cutlass hit its head. I was lucky to have a clear three days after though I was carried home. I was a village boy

You know they like twisting history to suit their own narratives

Tenses:
This country is funny sha.

We just dey dash political offices to unqualified people and still expect them to perform.

tinubu is a shining example of a failed leader.

You should have been there to campaign against him

Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.

I met this lady (a doctor)
4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31.
She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.

Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up.
I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth.
She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin.
Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much.
On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.

Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?

I need honest advice.

Your God is already with you. Fast forward to the wedding day, she would still have continued to insist that she was a virgin. There’s no shame in canceling or postponing and seeking further spiritual guidance until you are very sure and ready to deal with the kind of personality you have in your hands

Can you recognize which country's script this is?

Here is an English translation of the transcribed text:
Title & Translator:
The Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva of the Later Qin
Chapter 1: The Setting of the Dharma Assembly
Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park, in the kingdom of Śrāvastī, together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty monks. At that time, when it was the hour for the World-Honored One to take his meal, he put on his robe, took his alms bowl, and entered the great city of Śrāvastī to beg for food. Within that city, he went from house to house in proper order to receive alms. Having finished, he returned to his original place. When his meal was finished, he put away his robe and bowl, washed his feet, spread out his seat, and sat down.
Chapter 2: Subhūti's Request
At that time, the Elder Subhūti rose from his seat in the great assembly, bared his
The text breaks off at "bared his" (偏袒), which continues in the full sutra as "right shoulder, knelt upon his right knee, joined his palms respectfully, and addressed the Buddha..."

Tinubu is working.
4 + 4 is what again.

God bless the federal republic of naija

But then expect them to come on the forum and be telling you it’s still fake achievement

At least some of us who like to state facts can feel the improvement. But let’s if it would be permanent

Britishcoins:
in as much as it did not affect buying and selling Igbos will surely survive

It will. Only in an undeveloped economy will tradional buying and selling survive

You don’t scare a man who has already walked through fire and came out stronger.

This is Bola Ahmed Tinubu speaking with clarity. Not noise. Not empty words.

“I am Jagaban.”

That statement carries history. Years of battles. Years of standing firm when others stepped back.

You see a leader who:

• Faces pressure without blinking
• Takes decisions others avoid
• Stays the course when it gets tough

This is not about pride. It is about conviction.

Nigeria needs a leader who understands the terrain. Someone who has seen resistance before and still moves forward.

He made it clear. No retreat. No surrender.

Support him or not, one fact stands. This is a man who does not run when challenged.

And he will show you his pathway to success in 2027 so that you people will go and form blocks on the road. What the elder uses to eat pap is under the leave of the pap. And you can never see that

asfrank:
Same old style, shift The goal post, instead of going back and solving their problem. Well NDC is there, 🆕 party with less trouble.

Moreover they said last year that they had another back up should things go south.

How does a politician with serious ambition allow a court case to linger for long, especially when the time for election is getting close and deadlines are already set. Well for sure they know blaming Tinubu is much easier than winning him.

Disband the conference, call the aggrieved member and reach an agreement, discontinue the Court case, everyone is happy. That sounds simple untill you tell it ADC Leadership and their supporters

Don’t mind!! Party high jackers!!

The crisis around the African Democratic Congress is not noise. It raises a clear question. Can a political structure be acquired outside its own rules and still stand in law?

At the center of this matter is Ralph Nwosu, the founding chairman of the party. For years, he held firm control. Yet the ADC constitution did not grant him absolute power. It clearly outlined how leadership changes must occur.

Three lawful paths exist:
• A national convention
• A decision of the National Executive Committee
• A structured deputy succession process

These are not suggestions. They are binding rules.

The controversy began when political heavyweights, including Atiku Abubakar, reportedly sought to take over the ADC structure. Their approach avoided the internal processes of the party. Instead of engaging existing leadership organs, they moved through negotiation with a single individual.

That decision triggered resistance.

Nafiu Bala, the North East Vice Chairman, stepped in. His position is straightforward. Once Nwosu publicly stepped down, leadership should pass through the recognized succession line. Not through private arrangements.

This is where the issue moves from politics to law.

Bala and his allies argue that no individual has the authority to transfer party control outside constitutional procedures. Their case rests on internal party law, not sentiment. A court has now stepped in and ordered a return to status quo pending determination. That signals one thing. The judiciary sees a question worth examining.

The deeper problem here is cultural.

Too often, political actors rely on influence and money to override process. There is a belief that every obstacle has a price. That belief is now being tested. Bala’s resistance shows that not every structure bends.

Instead of addressing the legal challenge, the aggrieved group has shifted blame toward Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That argument lacks weight. Courts do not act on political emotion. They act on documents and procedure.

History offers context.

When Tinubu and his allies faced political barriers, they built new platforms. They organized, registered, and contested. The same applies to figures like Seriake Dickson. They did not attempt to bypass existing party frameworks through backdoor arrangements.

Today’s opposition figures made different choices. They moved from one party to another under pressure. Movement is not a crime. Yet it raises questions about consistency and long-term strategy.

Now they face a legal wall.

If the court upholds the constitutional argument, the ADC may not appear on the ballot in 2027 under the current arrangement. That outcome would not be political persecution. It would be the consequence of ignoring due process.

This situation offers a simple lesson.
• Institutions have rules
• Rules guide legitimacy
• Legitimacy determines survival

Once rules are ignored, outcomes become uncertain.

The law does not bend for convenience. It responds to structure. Those who respect that structure stay in the game. Those who bypass it risk exclusion.

What is happening within the ADC will shape more than one election cycle. It will test whether internal democracy in Nigerian parties holds any real meaning.

12345baba:
the former heads of the party wrote and it was documented and sent to inec that they have stepped down

And you were a witness?

Tenses:
We are ready for them.

Go and check history, any candidate the SE and North support never lost a presidential election. This one won't be different.

And with 32 Governors in one party, who did the North support? And which North are you talking about?

We hate anything legal in this country. We shout when we don’t have our ways whether legal or otherwise. People snatched positions from ADC just because they have power and money. And now another legal entity is posing on setting the record straight and pronto! We start to draw unfounded analogy! Where is the application of the adage that says who he comes to equity must come with clean hands?
When APC wanted to snatch power they built a party freshly. They could have adopted CPC or ACN or any other party and thereby got involved in what ADC is witnessing now. But APC was formed with no one to claim prior ownership. Now what do you with the present crops of oppositions?

Fortunately our future is too important for this fear based propaganda. Even though it’s tight now, hard research is telling the opposite from all the international community

You want people who never used an iPhone or are using iPhone XR to advise you on iPhone 16 PM? Better pick one yourself and google will give you better explanations.
My take is that IPhone is far different from android and I’m leaning towards IPhone. I always have both at a particular time. But as someone said: buying land is far far better an alternative

dgr8truth:
You’re asking a valid question about internet sabotage, but why single out Anambra? What about Lagos or Adamawa? Network challenges are not peculiar to one region.

The real issue is this: why do we always reduce national reforms to ethnicity, tribe, or religion? Electoral transparency is not about Tinubu, Obi, or Atiku. It is about Nigeria.

If we truly want credible elections, we should focus on strengthening systems — redundancy, offline backups, satellite links, and secure data storage — rather than framing reforms around personalities or regions.

This is a golden opportunity to deepen trust in our electoral process. Let’s approach it from a national perspective, not a sectional one.

I rejoin you. But please let’s be very very objective on this. If you have always been in the cities you wouldn’t know the kinds of networks problems being faced by the rural populace in their millions.
I have a first hand experience on all this. It would be a real disaster to implement real time transmissions with the kind of networks problem we are facing. I’m not anti people at all.

Even in my village of about 500 people we couldn’t even send text messages unless we go on to a far a way hill. This is a fact. Mind you we are in the South West and not far to a major town.

The piece is a solid, data-anchored warning: it shows that Nigeria’s “entrepreneurship boom” is overwhelmingly a distress phenomenon, and it correctly links the micro-level savings and revenue numbers to macro-level traps (energy poverty, FX-educated elite flight, AI-labour displacement, out-of-pocket health/education costs). Those linkages are not speculative; they are already visible in the labour-force statistics, CBN FX utilisation reports, and the national accounts that show 92-94 % informal employment.
Where the substance thins out is in the implicit prescription space. The article gestures toward “investment in support infrastructure and fiscal incentives” but never tests whether, given the current cost structure (power, FX, logistics, regulatory opacity), nano firms with ₦10-20 k daily profit can ever scale—tax waiver or not. It also treats AI as a future threat rather than an immediate policy variable that could be steered toward productivity tools for micro-firms. So the critique is strong; the pathway from critique to workable policy is under-developed.

These are the candidates:
1) Atiku Abubakar
2) Datti Baba-Ahmed

Only number 4 is sure! I have pvc, my two wives and several kids will all vote for TINUBU

What concerns uniform with respect. So if you are in uniform you must not respect the elders?

I am really laughing here,I watched one video of a Korean Christian preaching on the street of Israel,and some Israeli teenagers were spitting on her and the elders around there were laughing, it's so disgusting.
That's the love they have for Christians.

Because of a reason which I would not state here, I was in Israel years ago for educational purposes. The professor that took us had to look everywhere to get a church to worship in Tel Aviv but the guides told him it would be very difficult for him to get. Our excision took us to Nazareth and low and behold you would see Hijabites sister every where. There i learnt that Israelis had nothing much for Christianity.
