Bunch of unprofessional soldiers. Use drone to comb the place.... Clowns

Honestly.......Even a helicopter with FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) cameras will find them on the first night after the abduction.

After they are located, just send down like 5 snipers with night vision equipment and starlight scopes, to pick off the terrorists from distance, or even trail them at night, guided by the infrared cameras on the helicopters.

Small squads can surround them, and ambush them if they move.

With the right military tech, and well-trained SF operators, I swear, no abduction will go beyond 24 hours!

I don't even understand anymore........this is 2026, o.....not 1965.

Very convenient, eh?

Too convenient to remain in the range of acceptable coincidence.

As. Christian, I believe that God can actually do it, but if He does, many people will cry, because a lot of their "big men" will die gruesome deaths.

But this clown sitting there as Defense Minister, saying this?

Since he can't do the job, he should resign and allow God to take his place, naa!

Why is he occupying space and taking the money and all the perks for a job he cannot do?

Zionmdde:
SE voted 51 - 49
Even though one of their own was VP

If that doesn't look like almost an even spread then I can't help you

Just be objective and look at the facts.

It doesn't matter how even the spread was. Ethnicity and religion played its part, as per usual in Nigeria.

That's all I'm saying.

BTW, did you realise my last paragraph?

Zionmdde:
Igbos were here voting others
But one time they are pressing for the position, we start hearing all manner of rubbish. Imagine it was an Igbo man that annulled the election, tribalists and bigots will never cease to tell the story anytime its election time.

Tofa's Running Mate was Sylvester Ugoh, an Ibo man and a Biafra Cabinet member.

Abiola picked a fellow Muslim. babagana Kingibe, the first Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Northerners voted along ethnic lines, for Tofa to win in the North, but the vote was split due to religious sentiment.

South east voted for a ticket that had one of their own,, and what they considered a balanced, Muslim-Christian Ticket.

I hope you understand?

I am Yoruba and a Christian. I supported Abiola back then, because we all knew him.

Aliko Dangote’s fortune has climbed to about $36.5 billion, making Africa’s richest man wealthier than the projected annual economic output of 33 African countries.

- Aliko Dangote’s fortune has climbed to $36.5 billion, making him wealthier than the projected economies of 33 African countries.

- His net worth now exceeds the GDP of nations including Mali, Botswana, Gabon, Rwanda and Mauritius.

- The rise has been fueled by the growing value of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, now valued at about $39.1 billion.

- The comparison underscores the scale of Africa’s largest private industrial empire and its growing economic influence.

Dangote is indeed iconic in Africa's business world. However, let's stick to celebrating the man, and leave the GDPs of countries out of it.

Anyways, since you want to shame countries via the topic, let's take some time to remember that Elon Musk can sneeze out Dangote's entire fortune, wipe his nose clean, and continue on his way, unfazed.

South Africa captain Ronwen Williams has expressed disappointment at what he described as a lack of support from fellow African nations following Bafana Bafana’s 2-0 defeat to co-hosts Mexico in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup match on Thursday night, Saturday PUNCH reports.

The result leaves South Africa with work to do in Group A as they pursue a place in the knockout rounds.

Speaking after the match, Williams admitted he was surprised by the volume of African football fans who appeared to back Mexico rather than an African representative on the global stage, and called for greater unity among Africans during major tournaments.

“Africans have always supported other African countries in every World Cup tournament, but I can’t figure out why our own case is different,” Williams said. “Many Africans supported Mexico, not us, the South Africans. We almost shed tears, but it’s truly sad.”

"As Africans, let’s stand for each other, let’s stand together.”

While some supporters sympathised with the goalkeeper’s sentiments and agreed that African nations should rally behind one another at international competitions, others offered a contrasting view.

A number of social media users from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe argued that recurring reports of xenophobic attacks on African migrants in South Africa have weakened the sense of continental solidarity, with several referencing past incidents involving foreign nationals living in the country as having shaped how other Africans view South Africa.

Some openly stated that they had supported Mexico in the match, citing those tensions as a factor in their decision.

HacheNoire:
Damn!

Life well spent!

He brought joy and laughter to the faces of millions across the globe.

On behalf of my Honorable self and His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), we would like to extend our sincere condolences to the Oyewo family.

He was an inspiration to many and we certain his legacy’s will continue to linger for centuries.

Dr. Kola Oyewo was a veteran thespian, scholar, and educator. In life, he rose to the pinnacle of achievement, and you want to convert him into a political stooge in death?

You're shitting on his legacy by looking for political points on this.

No low is too low for these guys........SMH.

There has been public commentary that has portrayed the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s most aggressive borrower since the return to democracy in 1999, with some commentators saying it has borrowed more than all previous democratic administrations combined.

However, the available evidence does not support these conclusions. In May 2023, Nigeria’s external debt stock stood at approximately $42.5 billion when President Tinubu assumed office, and by December 2025, it had risen to approximately $51.9 billion, representing a net increase of around $9.4 billion. By contrast, Nigeria’s external debt increased from approximately $10.3 billion in 2015 to $42.9 billion by 2023, representing a net addition of about $32.6 billion during the Buhari administration.

This evidence, therefore, indicates that the largest increase in Nigeria’s external debt stock in the democratic era occurred between 2015 and 2023, and President Tinubu is not Nigeria’s largest borrower since the return to democratic rule in 1999.

Nigeria also faces a genuine fiscal challenge. Much of the apparent increase in Nigeria’s debt stock in naira terms reflects the exchange-rate revaluation of inherited foreign-currency obligations, rather than equivalent new borrowing.
It should also be noted that the most significant fiscal constraint facing Nigeria today is debt service, which absorbs a substantial proportion of government revenues. Rising debt-service obligations accumulated over many years continue to constrain fiscal space for infrastructure, healthcare, education, security, and other critical expenditures.

Nigerians should also bear in mind that external debt obligations are contracted and repaid in foreign currency, with the dollar being the denominant measurements used for comparison across administrations. Following exchange-rate unification in June 2023, the naira depreciated significantly against the US dollar. This had a substantial accounting effect on the domestic valuation of Nigeria’s external debt stock. The approximately $42.5 billion inherited by the current administration was valued at around ₦19.6 trillion under the previous exchange-rate regime. After revaluation at market exchange rates, the same stock appeared substantially larger in naira terms.

It can, however, be said that this claim of unprecedented borrowing under the current administration stems largely from the revaluation of inherited foreign-currency obligations following the June 2023 exchange-rate adjustment.

This increase did not arise because the government borrowed tens of trillions of naira in new external obligations. Rather, it shows the massive effect of applying a weaker exchange rate to an existing stock of foreign-currency debt. Comparing debt figures expressed in naira before and after exchange-rate adjustment, without controlling for these valuation effects, creates a misleading impression of debt accumulation.

The majority of the criticism surrounding Tinubu’s borrowing record has been focused on external debt, with the domestic figures adding important context. In dollar terms, domestic debt eased from about $65.6 billion in Q1 2023 (Buhari era) to $59.1 billion by end2025 (Tinubu era), a decline of roughly $6.5 billion. That sits against an increase of around $11.6 billion during the Buhari years. In adding domestic and external debt together, total public debt rose by only about $2.7 billion in dollar terms between Q1 2023 and Q4 2025, even though the naira headline rose by roughly ₦109.4 trillion over the same period. Both figures are correct, but only the dollar measure reflects actual new borrowing.

Between Q1 and Q2 2023, the naira value of external debt rose from ₦19.6 trillion (Buhari) to ₦33.2 trillion (Tinubu) with little change in dollar terms, reflecting exchange rate unification and revaluation of existing debt. In the same period, domestic debt increased from ₦30.2 trillion (Buhari) to ₦54.1 trillion (Tinubu), driven primarily by the securitisation and balance sheet recognition of ₦23.9 trillion in Ways and Means advances; previous Central Bank overdrafts accumulated under Buhari and subsequently converted into marketable government debt instruments. These movements represent accounting reclassification and stock revaluation adjustments, not incremental fiscal borrowing flows.

In conclusion, a fact-based assessment of Nigeria’s debt profile leads to one clear conclusion: the central challenge facing Nigeria today is not merely how much has been borrowed, but how inherited obligations, debt-service pressures, and limited revenues constrain the country’s development ambitions.

Bihari's is the largest, but it was over 8 years.

Tinubu's is over 3 years.

The slapping and knocking no reach, naa.......by now, we suppose don hear say den don fly am out for dental rearrangement.

I can't believe the son could be so foolish
Despite the fact that a war is going on btw Ukraine n Russia, thousand of Ukrainian are leaving in Russia, with some of them doing espionage

The worst part of it is, there's basically no difference between people of the two countries. They look the same, speak the same.......a Ukrainian passing for a Russian is like an Austrian passing for a German.

That son sha......heavy mumu na in e be!

[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139665380]“I’m back to the street” – Abroad-based Nigerian woman dumps husband over 50/50 marriage dispute

An abroad-based Nigerian woman has shared why she walked out of her four-year marriage, revealing that she left her husband and returned to single life after repeated disagreements over finances.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that they had been operating a 50/50 arrangement since relocating abroad, sharing bills and responsibilities equally.

In her words, she said:

“Since we are doing 50/50, yes we are doing it, but now you still want to collect part of my money. We have been sharing everything equally, so why is my own personal money now a problem?”

The situation reportedly escalated after the couple received a backdated company payment of about £4,000 for work previously carried out.

According to her, her husband insisted that she contribute part of the money despite their agreement to split responsibilities equally in the home, a demand she said led to a major conflict between them.

“We are doing 50/50, but you still want to control my money. You even calculated how much I should bring from my personal earnings. That was my breaking point,” she added.

Her revelation has since sparked mixed reactions online, with social media users debating whether 50/50 arrangements truly work in marriages, especially among couples living abroad.

The situation has also reignited conversations about money, control, and financial boundaries in modern relationships.

“I left my husband that I have been with for four years now. I am back to the street. We have two children together. I left him last week and the reason is since we came to the UK, he’s been wanting 50/50.”

This is how it's supposed to be. RCCG, Winners, etc should take note.

RCCG already did it.

The founder did not hand over to his son. Pastor Adeboye is not Baba Akindayomi's son.

Look at what the man said. The money was for party nomination. How did that turn to bribery?

Anyway, if e wan go court, make e go court.

Covering of mouth, as how na

Racism is prohibited in football, and if someone uses racial slurs, cameras will pick it because his lips can be read.

Some people will use their hand to cover their mouth while calling black players monkeys, to hide the proof.

This is a good move by FIFA.

Mattswaggz:
Why do they always arrest this guys?.....send them to God for judgement Asap na.

These are not Fulanis. That's why they arrested them.

Fulanis will always escape.

How is this NONSENSE on the front page?

Na who move this RUBBISH come front page?

How is this FOOLISHNESS important enough to rate being on front page?

That man is in his early 50s not 40s

I'm just answering the person that said the difference between the times the pics were taken couldn't be more than 10 years.

Plus, if he's in his early fifties, he's blessed with good genes, o!

Lots of men are looking old and going grey in their forties.

TheWolfen:
Its funny how these SA weirdos can no longer hide their hatred for Nigerians and other black immigrants in their country
They can't pretend anymore. They basically saying we hate you and dont want you.

Why can't we force the SA Companies here to sell to Nigerians or foreign multinationals and leave, as well?

All they're companies that are here, fleecing Nigerians, they can be taken over. Let the South Africans leave us, too.

Meanwhile, why are our people enduring being beaten and killed over there?

The answer is simple: they stand a chance of being tortured and killed here, as well!

At least the Zulu horde isn't asking for ransom before killing them.

Younger days? I was expecting to see a man in his 70s. The time difference between his present and younger self cannot be more than 10 years.

So the girl is 10 years old, or she's 18 now and was 8 when he took that pic ...

Bro, that guy can be 43 now and took the pic at 21

CharlesCNG:
Thanks bro.
To say government is complicit in insecurity as if soldiers and security personnel are also arranging their own deaths is not only illogical, it is unfair and unpatriotic. Our troops are dying in the line of duty, our officers are being ambushed, and many families are burying sons who wore the uniform of this country. You may criticize government strategy, demand better leadership, better equipment, and better results — that is your democratic right. But do not insult the sacrifice of our soldiers by talking as if they are partners in the evil that is killing them. A nation that mocks its own defenders weakens itself twice: first before the enemy, and then before its own conscience.

Then, their killers get fed, clothed, housed, and released, instead of being summarily executed.

Don't forget that.

Thanks.

CharlesCNG:
Yes , it is false . Nigeria’s security agencies are already using advanced surveillance and air power, including drone-supported operations, to track, disrupt, and strike terrorist positions. Reuters reported in March 2026 that Nigerian troops, backed by precision airstrikes, repelled a major Boko Haram/ISWAP assault on a military base in Mallam Fatori, killing at least 80 insurgents after anticipating the attack. AP reported the same operation and noted that the attackers themselves used armed drones, while the military responded with air support.

There is also evidence that Nigeria is expanding this capability. Punch reported in May 2026 that the Army had acquired advanced TP-2 combat drones while the Air Force carried out fresh strikes on terrorist positions in Borno. The Ministry of Defence also said in May that the federal government is committed to modernising the Armed Forces through technology and local capacity development.

Very good!

Can the kindly use the same technology to track the kidnapped children?

Godfullsam:
The same dalung that was whining and dining with APC when he was a minister.

When He was part of this government in the last administration he could say anything.

Does it mean that what he said is false, though?

Smithwilliams826:
Why is he informing them? They know what's going on in our country and are more interested in our resources than our life.

We can fix this internal problem by ourselves.

Yeah!

Like APC have done so brilliantly and commendably.

lightwind:
We need a president who is not afraid of the Fulanis.

Who is not afraid to send some people to jail.

In that case, we need one who made no deals with any shady characters to become President.

Wait for ur answer after the election.

Not just talking about Real Madrid.

All the other teams, as well.

AlbertNewton:
The security situations in the country justifies suspecting Fulani men with huge sum of money in cash as a possible kidnapper.
They just need to interrogate him properly to know how he came about that money. What business does he do ? Simple.
If his hands are clean, then they should let him go.

Unless he can prove he sold like 5-10 cows in 24 hours, what else would he say he did to come to have a huge sum of money?

Do uneducated herdsmen trade cryptocurrency?

atobs4real:
Hala!!!!!! Madrid!!!!!!!!!!
Best team in the whole world

Just wondering.......like, how many of these Nigerian die-hard fans actually carry genuine cards?

ghm:
Oga,

This discussion is not about whether people are hungry. It is about a specific trend that was observed – that is a fact.

Let’s be disciplined. Staying focused on the topic does not dismiss other realities, but this thread is not about them.

I am sure there are plenty of other threads on hunger and security.

What makes Nigeria, if not Nigerians?

Yeah, the British may have cobbled it together with shoestring and a prayer, but Nigerians, yes, the people you scorn in favour of mere numbers, sweated and sacrificed and literally died to keep Nigeria.

The same people are dying, and you're telling me off, like it's not also a fact, a fact far more poignant right now than some ineffectual percentages.

Continue.
