A country that is not at war but have IDP camps all over the place.

A country where the VP was linked to bokoharam.

No time for unity begging. We are no longer compatible.

What they should be talking of is referendum.

As rightly stated praise of the righteous is therapy and healing calm.

Fraud for a reason.

Saudi Arabia rejects Messi’s offer to play in Pro League


Dubai: Saudi Arabia turned down an offer from football legend Lionel Messi to play in the Saudi Pro League during the Major League Soccer (MLS) off-season, a senior sports official has disclosed.

Abdullah Hammad, CEO of the Mahd Sports Academy, said during a podcast with Arabic platform Thmanyah that Messi’s representatives approached him during the last Club World Cup, proposing a short-term deal for the Argentine star to stay active while the MLS paused for nearly four months.

“The player wanted to remain in shape and prepare for the 2026 World Cup,” Hammad said, noting that he passed the offer to the Minister of Sports, who declined it. “The minister made it clear that the Saudi league would not serve as a preparation platform for other tournaments.”

Hammad also contrasted the approaches of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, saying while Messi maintained close ties to Barcelona and set specific conditions, Ronaldo embraced a new challenge when he joined Al Nassr in 2022.

Messi, long linked to a potential move to Saudi Arabia, left Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 to join Inter Miami, where he has since extended his contract until 2028.

Abacha couldn't do it like this. Talking about dictatorship, you mean APC.

Trump is usimg too much colorado these days, may be he should slow down on it.

My prayers goes to the innocent people caught up in this. War of attrition.

Myay the good Lord bring peace ASAP,

Donald Trump has said he would like China's help to deal with Russia as he seeks to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.

"I'd like China to help us out with Russia," the US president said on board Air Force One, as he flew to Asia for a whirlwind tour, where he will meet China's Xi Jinping in South Korea.

It could be wishful thinking, however. China is Russia's biggest ally, and a vital support to Moscow since Western sanctions were imposed over its war in Ukraine.

Trump's comments come off the back of a difficult week for Kyiv - the US refused to give it Tomahawk cruise missiles, EU leaders did not release frozen Russian cash to help fund its defence, and there have been more deadly strikes.

Ending the Russia-Ukraine war has become a focal point for Trump in recent months, with a ceasefire deal so far eluding him, despite his campaign promises to solve the situation quickly. A summit with Putin in August failed to yield any tangible results, and Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Moscow.

"Every time I speak to Vladimir, I have good conversations and then they don't go anywhere," Trump said earlier this week.

On Wednesday, he announced new sanctions against Russia's two biggest oil companies - the first direct interventions the Trump administration has imposed on Russia over the war. What effect the blacklisting will have in the long-term is yet to be seen, but the Kremlin said it was "immune" to the sanctions

* What's the significance of US sanctions on Russian oil?


While Trump's meeting with Xi on Thursday is still expected to focus on the hostile trade relations between the US and China, Trump said that he would talk to Xi about "everything", including the war in Ukraine.

"I'd like to see China help us out [with Russia]. I have a very good relationship... with President Xi. Very good," he said, adding that Xi wants to see the war end.

Earlier this week, Trump said that the Chinese president "can have a big influence on Putin"

Beijing has never criticised Russia's war in Ukraine, and has been accused by the US and its allies of aiding Russia's war effort - which Beijing denies - through its purchases of Russian oil and monthly supply of dual-use materials (those with both commercial and military applications).

Putin and Xi have previously touted their countries' relationship as a "friendship with no limits", and Russia hopes gas exports to China and other countries will replace the revenue lost after Western sanctions were imposed

The warm relations between Russia and China were on full display last month, when Putin, Xi and North Korea's Kim Jong Un met in Beijing for an extraordinary show of solidarity and military might.

As Trump made his comments on Air Force One, emergency crews in Ukraine were at the scene of more Russian strikes, including some in Kyiv where several people were killed, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

"No country should be left alone in the face of such evil," he wrote on Telegram, reiterating the need for Ukraine's allies to step-up support.

Meanwhile, in Russia's Belgorod region, residents living near a dam were told to evacuate after a Ukrainian strike on the local reservoir caused damage that could lead to flooding.

Arch Bishop Benson idashosa. The father of pentecostalism in Nigeria.

Also hope she's not using meth up there.,

Irony1:
What was discussed in Aburi was not regionalism but confederation structure.

So you are saying kunle soname fixed this match.

Some nairalanders will begin to cry even though the story is farfetched. Because charity is not imbibe in them.

South Africans should leaders accountable for poor dividends of democracy.

Because what I see mental fatigue by Dudula.

South Africa’s Dudula movement is borrowing Trump’s playbook - but rewriting it with xenophobia

South Africa’s mounting wave of xenophobia is taking on a more organised and politically charged form through Operation Dudula, a movement whose populist messaging and exclusionary focus echo elements of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” ideology.



* Operation Dudula is a South African movement originating as a civic campaign against undocumented migrants.

*The group promotes nationalist rhetoric echoing divisive ideologies and has gained influence by targeting vulnerable migrant populations.

*Actions by Operation Dudula include denying healthcare to migrants and intimidating communities, raising concerns of constitutional violations.


A dangerous tide of nationalism is once again shaping public discourse, not in the United States, but in South Africa, where a movement known as Operation Dudula has taken the politics of exclusion to alarming extremes.

What began as a civic campaign targeting undocumented migrants has now morphed into a political party, wielding rhetoric and tactics that echo former U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda.

Yet, unlike Trump’s calls for a stricter legal immigration system, Operation Dudula’s crusade has crossed constitutional lines, threatening the very foundation of South Africa’s democracy and human rights framework.

Xenophobia disguised as patriotism

South Africa is home to more than 2.4 million migrants, representing just under 4% of its population. Many come from neighbouring countries like Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, drawn by the promise of opportunity in Africa’s most industrialised economy. But as unemployment and inequality deepen, these migrants have become convenient scapegoats for South Africa’s social and economic ills.

Operation Dudula - meaning “to push back” in Zulu, has capitalised on these frustrations. Its members, led by Zandile Dabula, have taken it upon themselves to patrol hospitals and clinics, demanding that only South Africans be treated.

In interviews with the BBC, Dabula has argued that South Africans must be prioritised for public services, even if that means denying access to foreigners, regardless of their legal status.

She frames this as a matter of national survival, “We cannot cater for the whole globe,” she told the BBC.


But such actions violate Section 27 of South Africa’s Constitution, which guarantees access to healthcare for everyone within the country’s borders.

The group's leader, Zandile Dabula argued that South Africans must be prioritised for public services, even if that means denying access to foreigners, regardless of their legal status

By targeting migrants, and even some South Africans who cannot produce ID documents, Dudula’s campaign has veered into dangerous territory. Its members have reportedly blocked clinic entrances, harassed health workers, and spread fear among vulnerable communities.

Easy said than done. A tinubu junta that smells like rotten corruption. Tell me how many of your state assembly members can you hold.

shafan:
citizens are meant to to monitor the government spending through our representatives in the house, that’s why we vote for people in the house, we need to hold people accountable

Monitor which fund. Who monitors the one FG is spending.

Fake transparency government. You can't give account of subsidy and you want people to monitor money that will be shared.

I have to bring you to order. I see you're mixing up history.

Nigeria never practised regionalism what we did was parliamentary system, the British brought parliamentary system of governance but the catch was they just organised the region into a more of a company then put a northerner as the CEO.

On paper the president was just a figure head while the prime minister held actual power.

Major Kaduna nzeogwu of blessed memories.
Had seen the flaw in parliamentary system in that the North will always hold power by virtue of population.

His idea of regionalism is what was discussed in Aburi Ghana.

Which are regions should be self governing along ethnic line

Diplomatic mission should be established across regions

Each region have to live off their resources.


Your guess is as good as mine the North said. Hell. No.

Irony1:
Our problems started from regionalism what we need is a loose confederation system as was proposed at Aburi.
