Mossad hand was involved that I'm sure, if IDF were to be involved, they will first take out Sultan himself. But this is just the beginning

Your conclusion is based on speculation rather than any credible security analysis. Intelligence operations—whether American, Israeli, or otherwise—do not function according to the assumptions you are making.

If the U.S. conducted the strike, then it followed their established counter-terror protocols, which prioritise eliminating operational threats, not targeting traditional or religious leaders who are not part of militant command structures.

Referencing Mossad or the IDF without evidence contributes nothing to understanding the situation. These agencies operate with strict strategic objectives, and there is no verified link connecting them to this incident.

It is more constructive to rely on verifiable information, understand how counter-terror operations are planned, and avoid making claims that oversimplify complex geopolitical processes.

DeepSight, these people you called out won't answer you🤧. They can't perform any ’uno reverse’ so they will definitely stay clear😂.
Even the self acclaimed intellectual heavy weight, jimRohn, will not dare engage as it is synonymous to his downfall, it will be a massacre😅. To the rational mind, his prophet is just.... ’something else’🤧... And he is supposed to be the best of all mankind 🤕😂.

Let me just grab a popcorn and await who will take the bait. It will be fun to watch, to finally see them defend their faith without their usual 'tactics’.

Let me aid you in calling some other adept taqqiya masters.

You people clearly suffer from a serious comprehension problem.

No one needs to grant you permission to spew whatever you think you know about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

So stop whining for validation and either speak with knowledge or stay silent in your ignorance.

DeepSight:
Where is that fugitive JimRohn. It is time we address the prophet moh and his many alarming words and deeds

You claim to have an issue with Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) — that’s your own delusion — but what exactly does that have to do with me? Why drag my name into your ignorant tantrum?

DeepSight:
Where is that fugitive JimRohn. It is time we address the prophet moh and his many alarming words and deeds

I’m far too big to waste my time trading insults with you — doing so would drag me down to your vulturous level. You simply lack the intellectual depth and mental sharpness to counter anything I say, and your only form of argument is hurling childish insults like an empty-headed clown desperate for attention.

AntiChristian:
Wetin concern Jagaban with Natasha? Nobody send am to go dey seduce for national assembly! Abeg, make she wait for court injection before she resume! Or she can resign make INEC rerun the election if she truly loves her people and she thinks they love her back!

So this is the depth of your reasoning? If you had any shred of sense, you would know Natasha owes her mandate to the ballot box, not to Tinubu, not to Akpabio, and certainly not to your ignorant approval.

Seduction? That’s the best insult you can cook up? Typical gutter talk from men terrified of a principled woman they cannot control. Natasha stood her ground against intimidation, humiliation, and weaponized suspension — that’s not seduction, that’s courage. Something your Senate godfathers lack completely.

And about your so-called “court injection” — it is injunction, not “injection”. Learn the basics before running your mouth. The court has already spoken; her office was unsealed because the Senate acted outside the law. If you hate the truth, take your bitterness back to Akpabio’s lodge, not here.

As for rerun, dream on. Kogi Central already rejected your puppets and sent Natasha to Abuja to represent them. No amount of blackmail, no Senate conspiracy, and no misplaced loyalty to Tinubu’s failed government will overturn the will of the people.

hotseat:
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan should have learnt some lessons by now, if you ask me.

However, the Senate knowing that there are many ways to "kpai" a rat, she might end up becoming an isolated member, a benchwarmer and a mere figurehead with little or no "juicy" appointments coming her way.

This so because given her intransigence and utter lack of remorse, she still has an axe to grind with the Senate.

Pretty face, bad character!





@hotseat

So this is the best defence you can muster? Threats of isolation, bench-warming and denying “juicy appointments”? You’ve just exposed what Akpabio’s Senate is really about — not service, not integrity, not lawmaking, but crumbs, patronage and power-sharing. That’s the gutter level you operate from.

Natasha doesn’t need “juicy appointments” to shine; her mandate is from the people of Kogi Central, not from Akpabio’s corrupt kitchen cabinet. If your Senate is so terrified of one woman with courage that the only weapons you can wield are intimidation, blackmail and denial of perks, then you’ve already lost the moral battle.

And let’s be clear: calling her a “pretty face” with “bad character” is nothing but the misogyny of small men who can’t stand women that refuse to bow. Bad character is budget padding. Bad character is shielding indicted criminals. Bad character is selling out Nigeria for foreign trips and brown envelopes. On those counts, Akpabio and his followers take the prize.

Keep boasting about your “many ways to kill a rat.” What you’re admitting is that the Senate leadership rules like thugs, not lawmakers. Nigeria is watching — and history has no mercy for cowards who use state institutions as weapons against their own people.

Go on The streets and let's see those who are hungry a d dieing from lack of food....

Fuel: no fuel scarcity in the last 2 years and we are already refining our own petrol and now a next exporter no longer at the mercy of subsidy fraudsters and marketers.....if you can't see an improvement,that's your problem.....if you need it buy it at the price it's sold govt isn't paying zilch for you to be gallivanting all over the place.....if you can't afford it,it means u aren't productive enough so u better go make something of value.

Jobs- there are more jobless people on record in the US or SA than we have in Nigeria......if you choose not to work it's your choice, no govt doesn't provide jobs for everybody.

Insecurity: we have seen and heard testimonies about improved security in hitherto unsecured spaces around the country,I earlier gave you a factual instance of KD south and birnin gwari in the same el rufai's state were in held sway as disruptor in chief.

Pls bring out direct facts on how tinubu policies has worsened the lives of Nigerians....

Your response is the perfect example of arrogance mixed with ignorance. You sit behind a keyboard mocking starving Nigerians, telling them to “go be productive” when Tinubu’s reckless policies have destroyed jobs, collapsed businesses, and wiped out incomes. Only a wicked mind blames the victims of bad governance for their own suffering.

Go to the markets — families can no longer afford rice at ₦70k. Go to the filling stations — workers now spend half their salaries on ₦860/litre petrol. Go to the hospitals — patients are dying because they can’t pay for drugs. That is not propaganda, it is reality. Nigerians don’t need your denial; they are living the pain every day.

You boast about “no scarcity” as if Nigerians should clap for paying triple the old fuel price. Refining or exporting petrol means nothing if ordinary people can’t afford to buy it. That is not progress — it is wicked mockery.

And stop hiding behind lazy comparisons with the US or South Africa. Those countries have working welfare systems, functioning power, healthcare, and social support. Nigerians have none of that under Tinubu. Here, if you lose your job, you starve. If you get sick, you die. If you trek, you collapse. That is the difference you refuse to admit.

Your claim of “improved security” is another insult. Nigerians are still kidnapped on highways, villages are still attacked, and bandits still operate freely. A few PR testimonies cannot cover up the bloodshed.

The facts are clear: Tinubu’s subsidy removal without safety nets, naira float without planning, and reckless economic policies have pushed millions deeper into poverty. He has failed, he is failing, and no amount of arrogant gaslighting will erase that.

You can insult Nigerians as “lazy” or “unproductive,” but the real failure is a president who begged for power for decades, claimed he was prepared, and in less than two years turned survival itself into a luxury. Tinubu is not a leader — he is an economic curse on this nation.

Lithiumite:
You choose to be blind and deaf as a choice,you have a right to,no one will deny you if that......you paint Nigeria like it were Afghanistan or south Sudan or worst still congo.....move around a lot and relate with the very common people you claim to be fighting for and I haven't seen Nigerians worse off than they ever were.

You only blow things out of proportion to suit your compulsive sentimentalism.....el rufai has nothing new to offer,he called for teachers re certification when he saw a lacuna in the education sector in his state,that's reform and much needed in addressing the parlous situation in that sector.....what policies did he put in place to cushion the effect on those that would have been thrown under the bus....what?

Your desperate attempt to downplay Nigerians’ suffering only shows how detached from reality you are. To claim people are not “worse off” under Tinubu is not just blindness — it is wickedness. Nigerians don’t need you to lecture them; they feel the pain every single day at the market, at the fuel station, on the road, and in the hospital. That is not “sentimentalism” — it is lived reality.

Stop insulting people’s intelligence with this fake optimism. Before Tinubu, Nigerians could still afford rice at ₦30k, fuel at ₦200, and transport that didn’t swallow half their income. Today, under his reckless watch, rice is ₦70k, petrol is ₦860, the naira collapsed to ₦1,500/$, and transport has tripled. That is not exaggeration — that is measurable fact.

And your hypocrisy about El-Rufai is laughable. You admit he demanded reforms in education and then expose Tinubu by your own logic: where were Tinubu’s policies to cushion his so-called reforms? None. He removed subsidy overnight with no safety nets, floated the naira without control, and left millions to suffer. That is not reform, it is economic terrorism.

Nigerians don’t care about your excuses, your comparisons, or your name-dropping. They care about food, fuel, jobs, and security. On all these, Tinubu has failed catastrophically. The man begged for power for decades, claimed he was prepared, and in less than two years destroyed the economy more brutally than any president before him.

So don’t gaslight Nigerians by telling them things are not as bad as they know they are. They don’t need your denial — they need relief. And if Tinubu cannot provide it, then history will judge him, and the people will remove him the same way they rejected Jonathan and Buhari.

The truth is simple: Tinubu is not a reformer, he is a calamity. And no amount of propaganda will erase the hunger, poverty, and hopelessness he has unleashed on Nigerians.

Lithiumite:
Your stoic irredentism augurs no good for you and your ilk......tinubu in 2 years should flood the whole place with rice so you can buy at 20k,tell me what is stopping your state govt from offering free education from at least basic to junior sec,tinubu has already initiated nelfund to ameliorate the burden on parents who want to send kids to tertiary institutions which is a very ingenious and much needed initiative.....what has your gov done specifically to ease the burden on your states citizens?

Tinubu should come wipe ur bum after relieving yourself!!

What effort did el rufai in 8 years put in to make Kaduna a top contributor to Nigeria's GDP? other than banditry and marginalisation of KD south......birnin gwari was a no go area when he held away but today I go to clients lithium sites with ease and less fear of danger......el rufai the obidients always refered to as bigot and chief sponsor of banditry,go wash all that off him first and let's see how clean he can get.

Your entire response is the height of intellectual laziness — hiding behind abuse and cheap distractions because you cannot defend Tinubu’s monumental failure. Nigerians are not asking Tinubu to wipe anyone’s backside; they are asking him to govern responsibly. He begged for power, swore he was ready, and in less than two years turned Nigeria into a graveyard of hunger, joblessness, and despair. That is not leadership — it is political vandalism.

Stop this nonsense of blaming governors for Tinubu’s chaos. Who removed subsidy overnight without planning? Who floated the naira like a casino gamble that destroyed savings and wages? Who pushed petrol to ₦860/litre, rice to ₦70k, and the naira to ₦1,500/$? It was Tinubu — not El-Rufai, not Obi, not governors. Leadership starts at the top, and the rot in Nigeria today flows from Aso Rock.

You point to student loans as if it is a gift — a loan is not reform, it is debt. And how many poor children can even qualify when their parents can’t afford food, transport, or electricity? You brag about “initiatives” on paper while Nigerians die in hospitals without drugs and trek because transport is unaffordable. Empty announcements don’t feed people — real governance does, and Tinubu has failed woefully.

Dragging El-Rufai into this is laughable. Whether he failed or not, it does not erase Tinubu’s disaster. Nigerians are not comparing failure with failure — they are measuring Tinubu by his promises. He promised Renewed Hope but delivered renewed hunger, renewed insecurity, and renewed hopelessness.

So let’s be clear: Tinubu is not a reformer, he is a reckless opportunist who begged for power for decades, only to collapse the economy in record time. No insult, no distraction, no propaganda will erase the truth. Nigerians are poorer, hungrier, and angrier under Tinubu — and in 2027, they will send him packing the same way they threw out Jonathan and rejected Buhari.

Keep insulting El-Rufai, Obi, or anyone else. The real clown sits in Aso Rock, hiding behind empty reforms while his supporters run around spewing abuse because they cannot defend failure with facts. Tinubu has failed, he is failing, and history will record him as one of Nigeria’s worst disasters.

Spandau:
You will pass through this phase, besides Obi or any Ibo man will never be president. Keep up with the epistle. I dey here for you.

Given your background, I do not anticipate a particularly meaningful intellectual exchange with you.

Lithiumite:
There you go again with outlandish populism just to hoodwink the gullible......whay savings from subsidy are you talking about when you have humongous debt servicing obligations,you had crude already sold in advance and the accruals already spent,your state gov is collecting far more in allocations than they were collecting even that of Enugu and ANAMBRA both in opposition attested that much and you are here blaming tinubu how they spend their allocations.....tinubu should e the one to buy cng buses or come subsidise transportation all over upper iweka
or sabongari because he is president......tinubu should be the one to come build primary and secondary Schools all over the lgs so you can be happy or build hospitals in every ward when we clearly have roles spelt out for every level of govt...what manner of warped thinking is this? That's why the logical nigerians with a brain in their heads disregard the infantile attempts of el rufai and co in trying to desperately corner power for themselves,they can keep clowning and we will keep relieving ourselves.

Tinubu brought hunger,tinubu made the naira real value to be at its present rate,tinubu has made rice unaffordable because he was met to go farm all the rice we are met to eat in the country despite billions spent by buhari to boost rice production and even locking borders putting Nigerians through pain......gej anchor borrowers also readily comes to mind,tinubu is also to blame for the failure of that policy that we should have been able to attain food security by now.

Your rhetorics of hunger poverty caused by tinubu are stale and we ain't buying.....south Africa is a go to economy for many nigerians despite the high poverty rates and insecurity in the midst of plenty,I guess tinubu is responsible for that too.

Your entire rant is nothing but gymnastics to excuse failure. Nigerians are not fooled. You twist debt, allocations, and responsibilities as if people can eat theories. The truth is simple: Tinubu asked for power, promised Renewed Hope, and in one year delivered nothing but renewed suffering. That is not Buhari’s ghost, not Jonathan’s shadow — it is Tinubu’s reckless handiwork.

Stop shifting goalposts. Before May 2023, Nigerians could still buy rice at ₦30k, fuel at ₦200, and transport at a rate that didn’t swallow salaries. Today, under Tinubu, rice is ₦70k, petrol is ₦860, transport has tripled, and the naira collapsed to over ₦1,500/$ before fake “stabilization.” That is not inheritance — that is direct consequence of a man who removed subsidy overnight without planning, floated the naira like a casino gambler, and left millions to drown.

And spare us the childish excuse that “governors should spend allocations.” Who increased the hardship in the first place? Who pushed the poor into deeper poverty with careless policies? Leadership is not about throwing citizens into fire and then saying “LG should quench it.” A real leader plans, cushions, and protects his people. Tinubu did none of that. He imposed pain, bragged about it, and now sends his supporters to defend failure with insults.

Comparing Nigeria’s hunger to South Africa’s poverty is laughable. South Africans still enjoy stable power, working hospitals, functioning schools, and social welfare — Nigerians under Tinubu enjoy none. Here, people trek because transport is unaffordable, beg because food is unreachable, and die because hospitals are inaccessible. That is Tinubu’s legacy.

So let’s call it what it is: Tinubu is not a reformer, he is an economic arsonist. He didn’t inherit paradise, but he turned a crisis into catastrophe. Nigerians don’t eat your IMF repayments, your debt ratios, or your propaganda. They eat food, pay rent, and survive daily — and Tinubu has made even survival a luxury.

Mock El-Rufai or Obi all you like; the real clown sits in Aso Rock, a man who begged for power for decades and, when finally given the chance, collapsed the economy in record time. Tinubu has failed, is failing, and come 2027, Nigerians will remind him that power belongs to the people — not to arrogant failures and their blind defenders.

Spandau:
You will pass through this phase and Obi nor any Ibo man will ever be president of the country.

Your reply exposes not only the emptiness of your argument but also the deep-rooted prejudice Tinubu’s blind supporters hide behind when logic fails them. Reducing Nigeria’s future to tribal insults is the last refuge of those defending failure. Leadership is not about Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa — it is about competence, vision, and results. Tinubu has none.

Nigerians are not suffering because of tribe; they are suffering because Tinubu imposed reckless, anti-poor policies that destroyed livelihoods, collapsed the naira, and deepened hunger. That is not tribalism — that is failure.

And let me educate you: power in Nigeria has never been permanent with any man or region. Jonathan was removed, Buhari was rejected, and Tinubu will also face the people’s verdict if he continues to multiply suffering. No arrogant defender of failure can change that fact.

Keep chanting tribal slurs if it consoles you — it does not feed Nigerians. It only proves what everyone already knows: Tinubu’s defenders have no defense, only hate. Nigerians are hungry, angry, and awake — and when the time comes, no propaganda, no arrogance, and no tribal card will save Tinubu from the judgment of the people.

Lithiumite:
Your lame treatise only serves comic relief to whoever is reading.....Saudi and Singapore didn't take the tough decisions but just got to where they are overnight with no hard reforms and sweat? Hope you see how laughable your logic is and the sad part is there are so many illogical ones who would lap on that and pin such superfluous narrative to their heads and run with it.....there is no easy way out for Nigeria considering how far down the abyss we were economically.......a country that had a bigger recurrent expenditure as against capital side,a country borrowing to pay salaries,a country with a debt to GDP of almost 100%.....a country that was printing money running into trillions to run govt via ways and means from cbn......what easy way?

A country that was hemorrhaging billions on fraudulent subsidy regime and you would be happy with that and not care in so far you were able to buy fuel at 200 and dollar at 700 to import all manner of irrelevant things just to give you a false sense of prosperity.

I expected you to juxtapose the points raised earlier fact for fact to show us how in your opinion the economy is tanking but you rather throw empty pedestrian rhetorics about hunger and poverty like it's only in Nigeria we have hungry people......that's all your el rufai and your ilk are banking on to away the gullible to buy their jaundiced narrative on why they should be chosen ahead of tinubu.....bloody jokers they are, pathetic clowns....we know better!!!

Your attempt at sounding intelligent collapses under its own hypocrisy. You hide behind “tough reforms” to justify Tinubu’s recklessness, but real reforms are planned, phased, and cushioned to protect citizens — not rushed overnight like a gambler on cheap steroids. Singapore and Saudi Arabia did not butcher their people with hunger first; they invested in education, industrialization, and infrastructure before subsidy removals. That’s why their citizens prospered. Tinubu only knows how to inflict pain without solutions.

You say subsidy was fraudulent — fine. But where are the savings? Where are the safety nets? Where is the affordable transport, stable power, and food security to justify ₦860/litre fuel? Instead, Tinubu hands the so-called savings to governors who squander them, while ordinary Nigerians trek, starve, and beg. That is not reform, that is organized robbery.

And stop insulting Nigerians with this childish “every country has hungry people.” Hunger in Nigeria is not some random global problem — it is a direct consequence of Tinubu’s ill-prepared policies. Before May 2023, people could afford fuel at ₦200, rice at ₦30k, and transport fares that didn’t swallow half their salaries. Under Tinubu, all that collapsed in one year. That is not inherited — that is created.

Your “facts” about GDP, borrowing, and deficits only prove Buhari’s failures, not Tinubu’s brilliance. Tinubu did not inherit paradise, but he has turned a bad situation into hellfire. Leadership is about solutions, not excuses. Nigerians don’t eat GDP ratios or foreign reserves; they eat food, they pay rent, they send children to school. And in all these, Tinubu has failed woefully.

So call El-Rufai and others “clowns” if it makes you feel better. The real clown is a president who begged for power for decades, claimed he was ready, and then collapsed the economy within months. Tinubu is not a reformer — he is a reckless opportunist. Nigerians see it, they feel it, and in 2027 they will remind you and your ilk that power belongs to the people, not to arrogant propagandists.

Spandau:
You will pass through this phase and Obi will never be president, seeh!! No that and know peace.

Repeating “you will pass through this phase” like a broken record only exposes the emptiness of Tinubu’s defenders. Nigerians are not asking for fortune-tellers, they are asking for food on their tables, security in their communities, and value for their hard-earned naira. Tinubu has failed to deliver any of these.

Obi, El-Rufai, or whoever is irrelevant to this discussion — the real issue is Tinubu’s catastrophic failure in office. Hiding behind “phases” is nothing but cowardice and propaganda. Poverty is not a phase. Hunger is not a phase. Collapse of the naira is not a phase. They are the direct results of Tinubu’s reckless and selfish policies.

And let me remind you: no president is untouchable. Nigerians voted out Jonathan, they rejected Buhari, and they can and will do the same to Tinubu if he continues on this path of destruction. Power belongs to the people — not to arrogant politicians and their blind defenders.

So keep chanting “Obi will never be president” if it helps you sleep at night. The truth remains: Tinubu has failed, Nigerians are suffering, and no propaganda will erase that reality.

Spandau:
Whether you like it or not, you will pass through this phase because Nigeria needs to be structured. Obi will never be president and Elrufai doesn't give a damn about you.

Your arrogance only proves the bankruptcy of Tinubu’s defenders. When a government has no results to show, its supporters resort to threats, insults, and empty prophecies about who “will never be president.” Nigerians are not interested in your fortune-telling — they are interested in survival, dignity, and leadership that works.

“Passing through a phase” is not an excuse for multiplying hardship. Poverty is not reform. Hunger is not progress. Tinubu promised Renewed Hope but delivered renewed suffering, and no amount of political arrogance will blind Nigerians to that fact.

Obi, El-Rufai, or anyone else is not the issue here — the issue is Tinubu’s catastrophic failure in just one year. Nigerians did not elect excuses, they elected solutions. If your only defense is “endure the pain,” then you are openly admitting Tinubu has failed to govern responsibly.

Mark this: the people who put Tinubu in power can also remove him. Nobody is above accountability. Nigerians endured Jonathan, rejected Buhari, and if Tinubu continues on this path of reckless suffering, he too will be thrown out by the same people you now insult.

Lithiumite:
Singapore,Saudi Arabia etc aren't feeding the poor with the king if parlous foreign reserves we have.....your analogy is nothing but half truths pinned to the heads of Dundee heads who can't think...... we should keep buying fuel at 200 naira so govt can keep borrowing to subsidise the same petrol that's more beneficial to the rich than the poor......we should keep exchanging subsidised dollars for the rich to the tune of 1.5b usd monthly by borrowing as we can't afford it......is that what your el rufai and his Co travellers are coming with .... thanks a lot we did rather pass.

Your response only exposes the emptiness of Tinubu’s defenders — loud on insults, empty on logic. Dragging Singapore and Saudi Arabia into Nigeria’s mess is laughable. Those countries built strong institutions, invested in real infrastructure, created jobs, and empowered their citizens long before tightening subsidies. Tinubu, on the other hand, removed subsidies overnight with zero planning, no cushioning, and no regard for the poor. That is not reform — that is reckless economic butchery.

You keep screaming “subsidy benefits the rich,” but today it is the poor man trekking miles, unable to afford ₦860/litre petrol. It is the poor mother crying at the market because rice is ₦60k. It is the poor child starving because transport fares swallowed school fees. What exactly has Tinubu given the poor in return? Nothing but hunger and excuses.

And stop pretending subsidy removal and dollar floatation were “bold reforms.” They were blind gambles that collapsed the naira, wiped out savings, and plunged millions below the poverty line. Leadership is not about throwing your people into fire and then clapping because you reduced the flames a little — it is about preventing the fire in the first place.

You call people “Dundee heads,” but the real Dundee is a government that promised Renewed Hope and delivered renewed suffering. Nigerians are not fooled — we see through the propaganda. Tinubu has failed. He is failing. And no amount of shouting “El-Rufai” will wash away that failure.

Naira peaked at almost 2k to the usd,today it's about a 1/4 less

Pms went well over a thousand per liter now it's about 860

Inflation as slowed since 2nd quarter this year from its high rate

Rice was at about 100k per 50kg bag,now it's about 60k.

Minimum wage was about 30k now it's 70k and some states are even beating that.

No state is currently owing workers salary as was the norm in the past.

State govs are all jubillating that tinubu's policies has given them room to be able to embark on more projects due to increased allocations.

We have been having trade surpluses for about 4 quarters consecutively as against deficits in the past.

We have improved on our crude oil production from about 1.2mbpd to about 1.8mbpd now.

There is renewed and improve investment drive in our oil and gas sector.

We are now a net exporter of petrol

Our foreign reserves has shot up from what tinubu met it.

We no longer resort to borrowing to pay salaries as was the case under gej and buhari.

Govt is no longer crowding out real businesses from the domestic debt market as revenue targets have already been met- non oil.

We have a lesser debt servicing to revenue ratio of over 90% when he came in to about 60% now.

Forex backlogs that was always the problem in the buhari days have been cleared and businesses are happier for that.

We no longer strangle the cbn with ways and means requirements to fund govt..

We could go on and on but despite all these,you still say this govt has made nigerians poorer? Fear God.

How many schools dis el rufai build how much success dis he make in providing free education and healthcare,what is your state govt doing with it's allocations monthly.

Legacy projects are still on going such as the Lagos calabar,badagry sokoto,akk gas pipe line ,bonny bodo bridge,Abuja calabar highway etc,subsidise cancer and kidney treatments, increment in pensions to retirees,continued access to subsidised retroviral drugs for HIV patients despite trumps madness.

You still say nigerians are poorer.....you and your el rufai can continue with your propaganda but you and I know it's doa because nigerians are wiser and they know el rufai is no different from the others,we would rather continue with tinubu than any of those charlatans who only want access to power for their self aggrandizement.

Your entire submission is a classic case of propaganda dressed up as “progress.” You cherry-pick figures, twist half-truths, and expect Nigerians to clap while they are sinking deeper into poverty. Let’s be clear: no amount of cooked statistics will change the reality Nigerians face daily — hunger, joblessness, insecurity, and despair.

You boast about the naira “stabilizing” after crashing beyond 2,000/$ under Tinubu’s reckless watch. Who caused that chaos in the first place? You hail petrol “down” to ₦860 — is that supposed to be an achievement when it was barely ₦200 before Tinubu’s ill-prepared subsidy removal? A 50kg bag of rice at ₦60k is still a nightmare for millions who can’t even afford ₦10k. And don’t insult Nigerians with minimum wage talk — how many states are actually paying ₦70k, and does that wage buy half of what ₦30k bought three years ago?

You talk about “trade surplus” and “foreign reserves” as if that feeds the poor or lowers transport fares. Go to the markets, go to the streets, go to the hospitals — Nigerians are suffering more today than ever. Tinubu has delivered nothing but deeper hardship and fake economic jargon meant to distract.

Legacy projects? Nigerians don’t eat bridges. They don’t cook gas pipelines. They need affordable food, stable power, secure lives, and real jobs — all of which Tinubu has failed to provide.

Stop insulting people’s intelligence. Nigerians are not blind. The verdict on Tinubu is clear: he has failed, he is failing, and no propaganda will erase that fact.

Lithiumite:
So tinubu made nigerians poorer than they were in 1960 in just 2 years......several decades of misgovernance and poor economic handling should be tinubu's fault and he should take the entire massses out of poverty in barely 2 years.

Your submissions reeks of evil sentimentalism and a despicably incoherent ideologue at best......we should keep the subsidy fraud so nigerians will be able to get cheaper fuel or continue defending the naira with borrowing so we can have cheaper dollars then we can have people not hungry again in Nigeria,that's the stale line of all you against tinubu......how many out of school children did el rufai make,how much of the vast agricultural potential of that state did he harness so there won't be poor people in kd again,we all know how badly under developed southern Kaduna is due to his strategically planned politics of exclusion and discrimination.

You are deliberately twisting the argument. Nobody is claiming Tinubu created poverty from 1960; the point is that under his short watch, poverty has deepened, inflation has skyrocketed, the naira has collapsed, and life has become unbearable for millions of Nigerians. That is not a legacy of 1960—it is the direct consequence of his reckless policies since May 2023.

Tinubu campaigned on competence and “Renewed Hope,” not on recycling excuses about past leaders. If he knew subsidy removal and naira floatation would throw Nigerians into untold suffering without proper safeguards, then why rush into them without a safety net? Leadership is about anticipating consequences and cushioning your people, not gambling with their survival.

As for El-Rufai, his record in Kaduna does not erase the fact that Tinubu’s government is failing at the national level. Nigerians did not elect El-Rufai in 2023—they elected Tinubu. And Tinubu must answer for the hunger, unemployment, and despair that are now worse than ever under his administration.

Excuses won’t feed Nigerians. Tinubu has run out of rhetoric—the suffering is real.

Exousiang01:
He was governor for 8 years, he couldn't end poverty in Kaduna state. As a matter of fact he had sons in the National Assembly while he was a sitting Governor and the both of them couldn't end poverty in even their local government.
I would even like to hear what people from Southern Kaduna have to say about this

Your response misses the point entirely. Criticizing El-Rufai’s record in Kaduna does not erase the fact that his statement about Nigerians being poorer today is true and undeniable. Even if every governor failed in their states, it does not justify the monumental failures of the Tinubu administration in just one year.

This government campaigned on “Renewed Hope,” not renewed excuses. Tinubu asked for the job, fought for the job, and claimed he was prepared for the job. Nigerians are not interested in distractions about El-Rufai’s sons or local politics; they want to know why food, fuel, medicine, and transport are now beyond their reach under Tinubu’s watch.

The reality is simple: leadership is about results, not finger-pointing. If Tinubu cannot lift Nigerians out of poverty, then he must take responsibility instead of hiding behind the failures of others.

Trump’s lament is nothing but an admission of failure. Under his watch, America alienated allies, weakened diplomacy, and created the vacuum that China eagerly filled.

Losing Russia and India was not China’s doing alone—it was the product of reckless U.S. leadership, short-sighted policies, and Trump’s own inability to build sustainable global partnerships.

His complaint only confirms what the world already knows: America is in decline, and Trump accelerated the fall.

If this is true, then it is deeply unfair to Nigerians. Citizens are already battling with record-high inflation, unemployment, and the ripple effects of previous subsidy removals. Adding a 5% surcharge on fuel may look like a revenue strategy on paper, but in reality, it directly translates into higher transport fares, soaring food costs, and worsening hardship for ordinary people.

Yes, governments need to diversify revenue and promote clean energy, but this approach punishes citizens instead of providing viable, affordable alternatives. Until Nigeria develops functional, accessible, and affordable renewable energy infrastructure, burdening the masses with additional levies is nothing short of insensitive and exploitative governance.

Reforms should ease the suffering of the people, not compound it.

In Islam, every act of worship must be rooted in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the understanding of the earliest generations of Muslims (the Salaf). Any practice introduced into religion without evidence from these sources is considered a bidʿah (innovation), and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself warned against it:

👉 “Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not from it, it will be rejected.” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim)

1. No Precedent in the Qur’an or Sunnah

Neither the Qur’an nor the authentic Sunnah contains any instruction to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday. Despite their profound love for the Prophet ﷺ, neither the Companions nor the righteous successors ever celebrated such an occasion. Their silence on this matter is a clear proof that this practice is not part of Islam.

2. Innovation in Religion (Bidʿah)

The Prophet ﷺ explicitly described every newly invented religious practice as a misguidance:

👉 “Every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.” (Sunan an-Nasā’ī, Jāmiʿ at-Tirmidhī)

Mawlid, being a later addition centuries after the Prophet’s time, falls under this category. Good intentions do not transform innovations into acts of worship accepted by Allah.

3. True Love for the Prophet ﷺ

The best way to honor and love the Prophet ﷺ is not through innovated celebrations, but by obeying his commands, following his Sunnah, and reviving his teachings in daily life. Allah says:

👉 “Say: If you truly love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins.” (Qur’an 3:31)

Thus, real love for the Prophet ﷺ is shown through adherence, not through newly invented festivities.

4. The Imitation of Non-Islamic Practices

Historically, the celebration of birthdays was not part of Islamic tradition but influenced by foreign customs. Islam came to purify worship and direct it solely to Allah, free from imitating other religious or cultural rituals.

Conclusion

Celebrating the Prophet’s birthday (Mawlid an-Nabiyy) has no basis in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, or the practice of the earliest Muslim generations. It constitutes an innovation that the Prophet ﷺ himself warned against. The most authentic way to express love for him is through strict adherence to his Sunnah, spreading his message, and living by the guidance he brought.

As a Muslims, our devotion is best demonstrated not by innovating what he never taught, but by preserving the purity of his religion as he delivered it.

Righteousness2:
Another day, another lie, another fooling of those who allow themselves to be fooled.

Will Al Jazeera apologize for spreading the fake story about the Gazan boy who was allegedly shot in the head by the IDF?

Will anyone apologize for believing the rogue ex-GHF worker who lied to the entire world, claiming he had witnessed it?

That boy is alive and well and had to be smuggled out of Gaza so Hamas won’t hurt him to prove the fake story right.

It's not the first or the 1000th.
Well over 85% of what is pushed out is COMPLETE FAKE AND LIES too Fool the gullible.

There is no genocide in Gaza
There is no Starvation in Gaza.

The only thing fake here is the desperate propaganda you’re parroting to whitewash Israel’s crimes. You scream about one disputed story while ignoring mountains of undeniable evidence—tens of thousands of bodies, mass graves, UN reports, satellite images of flattened neighborhoods, and starving children on camera. Are all those corpses and bombed-out hospitals also ‘fake’?

Israel bombs journalists, doctors, and aid workers precisely to silence truth, then hides behind clowns like you to scream ‘lies’ at the world. You call it ‘no genocide’ while entire families are erased, generations wiped out, and Gaza turned into rubble. That’s not misinformation—it’s the most documented atrocity of our time.

So spare us the hypocrisy. The world sees the truth, and no amount of Zionist spin will erase the blood on Israel’s hands.

Very well. I will devote some time to it today.

Or should we not just make a separate thread since it is a separate topic?

I can kickstart it of you agree.

I don't think he's coming back 😮‍💨. He can only score cheap points with Max. Once he knows you are well versed in the Hadiths and Quran 😅...He will backtrack.

He is not the only one that's how they all behave. The way you hinted him that you were not a Christian put his ’appeals’ to rest😅. Now, he has to be objective or use LLMs to reply you. Let's just see how it goes. He might surprise us😳.

DeepSight don’t need anyone’s permission to present what he claim to know about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He should go ahead — I’ve giving him the floor. He should begin.

DeepSight:
But JimRohn should come back first. Because I can defend it all directly from his scripture and hs authentic hadiths.

You don’t need anyone’s permission to present what you claim to know about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Go ahead — I’m giving you the floor. Begin.

Do you really consider DeepSight to be on the same intellectual level as MaxInDHouse or some of the other individuals I engage with here?

Because frankly, MaxInDHouse is among the most intelligent contributors on Nairaland. In contrast, DeepSight does not even qualify for consideration when I rate people based on intellect.

That is precisely why I refuse to bring myself down to his level — instead, I choose to engage with those whose reasoning and arguments are worth my time.
