You seem to be the illiterate in this case.
Covered number plates is illegal.
If you are going to have that you need to get an approval....

It can be as illegal as you like but it’s very rampant in Abuja.

So is is the Nigeria itself/

Only in Nigeria is your hard earned gratuity and pension a privilege.

Gratuity and pension deductions are made from worker’s wages every month to assist them save for retirement.

Employers are mandated to continue their quota to these savings but that doesn’t mean it’s some free money from government, no, it’s earned by the employees

All across Nigeria, States play politics with people’s money. This is inhumane and shows how wicked black men govern themselves.

Letter writing is within anybody’s rights.

But reading letters and acting on them is not guaranteed!

Police can play Wike’s script as much as they want but they can’t do anything to that Army officer.

There’s nothing the entire NPF can do.

There highly illiterate officers on road block can only show their low live videos.

Na today wey them Dey see covered number plate for the first time.

From prison to Nigeria where his skills as both a doctor and a fraud star is in high demand.

His greed finally caught up with him!

If the President fails to sack Minister Wike then he is setting himself up for another coup attempt.

Because that issue will not be swept under by the soldiers in today’s drama episode.

They will likely go after the DSS and police that accompanied Wike.

Well, it’s no surprise Nigeria is called a zoo by some.

Some persons say marrying more than a wife is not good for a man.

See what only one of his wives is doing to him, he has not told us the issues with his other wives.

God gave man one wife but man feels he knows better than God.

Those who marry one wife will have tribulations in the flesh, e come be who marry plenty.

Kalashnikov49:
Nnamdi Kanu is not Abia State property. He is a BIAFRA property.

As regards your history lessons, its irrelevant because I don't need your CV or bloofy care.

You will soon care.

Both you and Kalu are bloody Nigerians.

What you call Biafra is actually Bia-fraud

YouAreNobody:
Balderdash. MNK called nigeria a zoo and every single day you guys keep proving him right.
Anyways, he has given the judge an assignment, let the court convict him if they have any case against him

Una go later cry blood sha.

Where’s Simeon Ekpa again?

How about Gentle-de-yahoo?

The judge will ask Kalu to go home, or return to Kenya or to England?

Dreamers!

The IPOB fantasy is an effort in futility and foolishness disguised as freedom fighting.

Kalashnikov49:
Stale...

Even an illiterate can defend themselves in court. If the wish to. Except Sunday IGBOHO, who can't even write of communicate in English.

You lied that he was a lawyer na.

I am Igbo by the way, has always being, and will always remain with a dual citizenship.

Not every objective critics of Nnamdi Kalu is Yoruba.

Myself and Kalu are from same Abia State, live with that.

Nigerians Presidency should simply be rotational (turn-by-turn)

Because every President especially Buhari and now The Chief Bigot President Tinubu channels the nation’s resources including borrowed funds to his region and state at the detriment of other regions.

So if it’s rotational then each region will calmly wait to take their own pound of flash from the national cake.

I wish Tony well on his adventure.

Perhaps he should sue Wike in a court outside Nigeria as the current judicial system has been pocketed by wicked Wike.

blacksam01:
He doesn't know kanu is a lawyer as a person first before being a freedom fighter

Which law school did he graduate from?

Where and when did he practice law?

Or being IPOB Supreme Leader with absolute power makes him a qualified lawyer?

A school dropout and failed business man is who Nnamdi Kalu truly was before he found a new profession of bitter agitation.

Very unpopular governor!

Watcharena:
the entire debt Africa is owing chine is not up to what US alone is owing China but some how china is colonising Africa not US

Knowledge is free but you won’t do any research before you come up here to disgrace your village people.

Read below for your detailed enlightenment:

How Much Does China Owe the US?
China’s direct sovereign debt owed to the US (i.e., US holdings of Chinese government bonds or debt securities) is relatively small and not a major component of bilateral financial ties. Based on the most recent available data, US holdings of Chinese bonds on a nationality basis were approximately $27 billion as of 2022. This figure likely remains similar in 2025, as there has been no significant reported increase in US purchases of Chinese government debt amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and diversification efforts by US investors. Note that this excludes US holdings of Chinese corporate or local government bonds, which are larger (total US holdings of all Chinese debt and equity securities were around $240 billion in earlier years but have grown modestly). Overall, China’s central government debt is low (about 20-25% of GDP), and foreign ownership is limited due to capital controls and market access restrictions.
How Much Does the US Owe China?
The US “owes” China primarily through China’s holdings of US Treasury securities, which finance part of the US federal deficit. As of July 2025 (the latest monthly data from the US Treasury), China held $730.7 billion in US Treasuries. This marks a decline from earlier in the year (e.g., $756.4 billion in June 2025 and $784.3 billion in February 2025), continuing a multi-year trend of China reducing its exposure to US debt for diversification reasons, such as increasing gold reserves and investing in other assets. China remains the second-largest foreign holder after Japan, but its share of total foreign-held US debt has fallen to about 9-10%.
Comparison and Contrast with Africa’s Debt to China
Africa’s debt to China refers to outstanding loans from Chinese development finance institutions (e.g., China Exim Bank, China Development Bank) to African governments, often under the Belt and Road Initiative for infrastructure projects like ports, roads, and power plants. As of 2022 (the latest detailed estimate from the China Africa Research Initiative at Boston University), the total outstanding debt was $170 billion across 49 countries. This figure has likely grown modestly by 2025 due to new disbursements (e.g., $13.3 billion in 2024 for Sub-Saharan Africa alone), but repayments and restructurings (e.g., in Zambia and Ethiopia) may keep it around $170-180 billion. Cumulative loan commitments since 2000 total $182 billion, but outstanding amounts are lower due to amortization.
Key Similarities:
• Scale and Significance: All represent substantial bilateral financial flows. US debt to China ($731B) is the largest, roughly 4x Africa’s debt to China ($170B), while China to US ($27B) is negligible by comparison. These debts underscore China’s role as a major global creditor, holding about 2-3% of total US public debt but up to 15-18% of some African countries’ external debt (e.g., Angola at $46B cumulative).
• Geopolitical Leverage: Holdings can influence relations—China’s US Treasury stake gives it indirect sway over US interest rates, while African debt has sparked “debt trap” debates, with restructurings often tied to resource access or political concessions.
• Economic Interdependence: These debts support trade imbalances; China’s US holdings stem from its trade surplus (recycling dollars into Treasuries), while African loans fund exports of commodities to China.
Key Differences:
• Nature and Terms: US-China debt is symmetric but asymmetric in size—market-driven purchases of liquid, low-risk Treasuries (yielding ~4-5% currently) vs. China’s minimal sovereign exposure to the US. Africa-China debt is directional (loans from China, no reciprocal African holdings of Chinese bonds), often concessional (low-interest, long-maturity) but project-tied, opaque, and less liquid, with risks of default leading to restructurings (e.g., 20+ African countries restructured since 2020).
• Purpose and Risks: US-China ties stabilize global finance and currency (China manages yuan via dollar reserves), with low default risk. African loans target development (infrastructure in 70% of deals), but carry higher risks—15.3% of Sub-Saharan Africa’s external debt in 2023 was to China, contributing to crises in Zambia and Ghana. Repayments strain budgets (Africa faces $22B in 2025 payments to China alone).
• Trends and Implications: China has reduced US holdings by ~40% since 2015 peaks ($1.3T) amid de-dollarization, but increased African lending post-2023 slowdown. This shifts focus: US-China debt is a “safe asset” story, while Africa-China evokes sustainability concerns, with calls for transparency and multilateral relief.
In summary, US-China debt flows are mature, reciprocal (though lopsided), and integral to global reserves, while Africa-China is more predatory in perception, focused on resource-backed development with vulnerability to shocks. For the most current figures, check US Treasury TIC data or Boston University’s CLA database, as these evolve monthly.

China’s Africa re-colonisation process and strategy - debts and investments managed by Chinese.

Soon China towns will emerge in all of these countries!

bionixs:
I am glad that US watches every step taken by your lawless court

When the coward was first arrested, the bragging then was about his purported UK citizenship and how they were coming to rescue him.

Now it US? I sorry for Una.

Frustrated and confused.

Something he dare not try if the judge was seated.

Probably further evidence the Judge will factor when writing his judgement.

Conviction to life imprisonment is guaranteed for him.

Gumi will have to sue a lot more persons because we plenty wey believe say him na terrorist not just an apologist.

Nnamdi Kalu is just buying time because he knows he has no defence whatsoever.

This entire prosecution from day one has been delayed by the defence team using every know tricks and excuses in the book.

They recently tried the health excuse, claiming Kalu only had a matter of days to live, cooked up medical reports, all that was a lie. Kalu is hale and hearty to spend another 42 years locked up.

They came up with the lies of a repealed and none existent law being used to prosecute Kalu, claiming that he should be discharged, acquitted, granted Biafra and heavily compensated because of which he won’t waste his time defending himself.

He knew all along that he only wants to buy time while wishing for some sort extrajudicial resolution perhaps by political settlement, pardon or foreign interference to escape justice, but none of that will happen.

He will face the judge and receive his sentence, no matter how long he tries to stall this.

stuffs2002:
You hate your own country so much you are generating lies on China

If this is what makes you happy, say more

Is it the letter writing season in Nigeria?

Somebody needs to write FFK about his uninvited meddlesomeness and Iran sponsored terrorist activism.

China is only protecting their debtor and can’t do anything to stop planned air strikes on the terrorist operating under Chinese sponsorship in the North of Nigeria.

Nigeria simply deserves the embarrassment it’s currently getting from the US.

Human lives has no value in the eyes of the Nigerian government. The President and his officials are not moved to sympathy or action at the many acts of terrorism against defenceless civilians especially from the middle belt to the entire North of the country.

The Islamic religion either encourages these killings by Islamic banditry or turns a blind eye to the surge especially when directed at Christians.

Under the Governor of most Northern States and now North Central, bandits raid unhindered killing any on their path and freely brandishing weapons without fear of arrest.

Instead of arresting and prosecuting these terrorist, many governors are simply begging them, holding peace talks and offering them safe passage to relocate to other states and continue in their hideous crimes.

Insecurity on an industrial scale with kidnapping now an industry of repute in Nigeria, the regime paying only lip service whenever they border to acknowledge the obvious.

The President only sacked service chiefs only when his personal security was threatened not at of regard for the poor Nigerians.

It’s simply a shame!

The Judge will pass judgment regardless of how he decides to proceed.

The judgement of the High Court is most likely to be upheld at Appeal and Supreme Courts.

So refusal to enter a defence is acceptance of guilt.

Jailed yes!

Killed? No sane person would want to make him anymore popular than he already is so they will avoid him dying in detention.

His recent court appearances is being used to try and rejuvenate his long gone popularity.

Nobody would want to kill him to avert a Hero worship statue for him.

They will be found guilty, no be French courts?

Salewa97:
How many passports have been seized unlawfully before now?

The narrative is just too one sided.

Akpabio had his reasons

Who is Akpabio?

Is this lady more corrupt or half wicked than Akpabio?

You mean transforming it into a mass grave or cemetery?

A woeful person to be governor of anything.

Benue residents including the governor are at the mercy of bandits yet a good for nothing youth who has never seen Abuja, compares Benue to London. London of Fulani Bandits.

Nigerians and the tradition of praise singing to their woeful leaders!
