When you fall victim then you will understand

You are right on this one

Incognito403:
Seems we have cultists on this platform.
I don't understand how/why anyone will be saying negative things about this news.

But he just stated the obvious truth.

God1000:
Hmm, isn't this blasphemy and against God's commandment that says You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain

This man keeps proving me right everyday, I don't know why people even call me bad names for saying the truth about him

Show me where he mentioned the the name of the Lord

Jakumo:
And those who destroyed his house will never be investigated for arson, since they are more equal than others. Anyway, murder is murder, even if the victims of the shootings were scumbags, and owning a gun is NOT a license to kill.

Now, over some mango leaves, the angry home owner has lost his house, his car and his peace of mind, because the police, and the land grabbers will be after him for as long as he lives.

He actually submitted himself to the police before his house was burnt.
I expected the police to swift into action immediately and prevent the properties from being destroyed.

Jakumo:
The man did what many Nigerians would love to do, but for the concern about what would follow in a nation where cows and their illiterate herdsmen are STILL assigned the lofty status of being more equal than all others.

And of course there were consequences because he lost his home and car

This is a false information and should be taken down.
What actually happened was that a resident of Aso in mararaba has an argument with a Fulani herder who invaded his compound and cut down his mango tree to feed hi cattle. When the man came out to challenge them, they threatened him with their matchets. The man then brought out a gun from his house and shot 2 of them and the third one managed to escape.
The man immediately ran to report himself at the nearest police station. The herders came back in their numbers and burnt the mans house including his car.

So the West wants us to stand in awe—again. They parade the B-2 Spirit like a ghost from a Cold War museum, calling it “the world’s most advanced bomber,” whispering about stealth like it’s magic dust, and reminding us it costs a mind-melting $2 billion per plane.
But let’s step back from the polished propaganda.
Because if the B-2 is America’s ultimate weapon, then the empire has already lost.

Iran’s Missiles Shatter the Myth of Untouchable Israel
The world watched in disbelief as 25 Iranian missiles lit up the night skies over Tel Aviv, Haifa, and central Israel. The images were shocking—but more shocking was the context.
These strikes came just hours after the United States, once again playing global policeman, launched a provocative and illegal airstrike against Iranian nuclear sites—an act of war disguised as “preemptive defense.” The Western media called it “deterrence.”
But Iran? Iran called it what it was: a declaration of war.
And then Iran responded. Swiftly. Strategically. Without hesitation.

💣 The Empire Struck First—And Got Struck Back
Let’s be clear: this was not an unprovoked attack. The missiles launched at Israel were not acts of terrorism—they were acts of resistance. For too long, the U.S. and Israel have acted with impunity, launching attacks, sabotaging infrastructure, and assassinating scientists on Iranian soil.
Iran has shown restraint. But when the U.S. brazenly bombed sovereign territory under the guise of “stopping enrichment,” the gloves came off.
And the message was loud:
“If you strike Iran, nowhere is safe. Not Tel Aviv. Not Haifa. Not your bunkers. Not your illusions.”

🧠 Israel's False Security Exposed
Despite boasting the world’s most expensive air defense system—Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and U.S. satellite integration—missiles still found their way into residential areas. Direct hits in Tel Aviv. A missile landing in Haifa without even triggering sirens.
Why?
Because Iran has cracked the playbook. These weren't random rockets from a rebel group. These were precision-guided tools of psychological and symbolic warfare. Iran didn’t aim to destroy Israel. It aimed to destroy the myth:
That Israel is protected.
That America can shield it.
That Iran will stay silent forever.

🧨 The Real Fear of the West
Here’s the conspiracy no one in Washington wants to admit: The U.S. and Israel fear Iran not because of nuclear weapons—but because of defiance. Iran dares to stand tall in a region where others have bowed.
• Iraq was invaded.
• Libya was destroyed.
• Syria was destabilized.
• But Iran? Still standing. Still launching.
And now, Iran has proved what few dared imagine: It can reach deep into Israeli territory—even under maximum U.S. surveillance.
That is what terrifies them.

⚖️ A New Era of Accountability
For decades, the West wrote the rules of war. They decided who was a “terrorist” and who was “defending democracy.” But with these missile strikes, Iran flipped the script. It declared that aggression will no longer go unanswered, and that even the empire will bleed.
So while the media sheds crocodile tears over damage in Tel Aviv, remember what triggered this moment: American aggression. Israeli arrogance. And Iranian resolve.
This is not just a regional clash.
This is the beginning of the end of Western military immunity.
And Iran has fired the first real warning shot.

But they have gone to Iran and returned home safely 😂

Now that the security forces are in Yelwata, the herdsmen will leave Yelwata and strike another community in another local government and the story continues.

Shedrack777:
We'll disappoint APC in 2027

I pray this government should. It's as if you don't understand the damage previous government has done to Nigeria.

From Hunger to Hope: Reflecting on Nigeria’s Journey Since “Ebi n Pawa”


“Ebi n pawa!” That expression — “We are hungry” — wasn’t just a complaint two years ago. It was a cry from the soul of a nation. It echoed from Lagos to Kano, Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. You didn’t need a microphone to hear it; it was in the faces of mothers at the market, fathers at the bus stop, young men on the streets, and children waiting for meals that never came. It became the anthem of pain, the chorus of a people grappling with the shock of sweeping reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his very first week in office.

Nigeria was in turmoil, not because the policies were necessarily wrong, but because their timing hit a society already living on the edge. So the question we now face — two years later — is both urgent and fair: Are we still that hungry?

Back in May 2023, when Tinubu took the reins of power, the foundation of the Nigerian economy was cracked. No, not cracked — shattered. The nation was drowning in debt, most of it incurred not for building railways or factories, but for paying salaries, maintaining a fuel subsidy that lined the pockets of the rich, and defending an artificial exchange rate that stifled growth.

What the new president inherited was more than a moribund economy; it was a ticking time bomb. Oil had already been sold forward, meaning Nigeria was effectively broke. There was no money coming in from crude exports — our primary source of income — because it had been mortgaged in advance.

The previous administration of Buhari had quietly printed money, devaluing the naira without the courtesy of telling the public. But Tinubu couldn’t cry foul too loudly — some of those who caused this mess were his political allies.

He could have chosen the path of least resistance, the usual Nigerian way: kick the can down the road and pretend everything was fine. But he didn’t. In one of the boldest opening acts in Nigerian political history, he removed the fuel subsidy.

Suddenly, the price of fuel tripled. Transporters raised fares. Traders hiked prices. Even sachet water vendors felt the pinch. The people who were already struggling now felt like they were suffocating. The frustration was real, and so was the anger. Social media went ablaze. Protests flared. Opposition voices got louder. “Ebi n pawa!” they cried — and rightly so.

But that wasn’t the end of the storm. Next came the unification of the exchange rate. Nigeria had operated a dual-rate system for years, one for the privileged few who accessed dollars at official rates, and another for the rest of us who scrambled for forex in the black market. It was a system ripe for corruption, creating billionaires overnight while choking real businesses.

By merging the rates, Tinubu wiped away a major incentive for fraud. It wasn’t smooth — it never is. The naira plunged. The cost of imported goods spiked. But this was the price of honesty, of facing the truth about how things really were.

So, yes, we were hungry. But that hunger wasn’t just about food. It was about the pain that comes with correction — the sting of necessary surgery. The old system was bleeding us dry, and for once, someone decided to stitch the wound instead of just covering it up with another bandage.

Fast forward two years, and the picture is beginning to shift. No, it’s not yet paradise. Inflation is still biting. Prices of rice and garri still bring tears to the eyes. But compared to the chaos of 2023, we’re not where we used to be. Take a closer look — not with emotions, but with the eyes of understanding — and the signs of progress become clear.

Today, Nigeria has exited the IMF debtors’ list. That’s not just a statistic — it’s proof that we are no longer borrowing just to survive. The Tinubu administration cleared a $1.61 billion debt and restored Nigeria’s credibility on the global stage. Foreign investors are watching, and they’re starting to return. The stock market is booming. When he took over, the All Share Index stood at 55,738 points. Now, it’s over 103,000. Market capitalization has crossed ₦63 trillion. That’s not magic — it’s investor confidence fueled by clearer, bolder policies.

And what about infrastructure? The fuel subsidy money is no longer going into the pockets of oil marketers. It's now being used to build things we can see — roads, rail lines, and power projects that matter to everyday life. The Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund is not just a slogan; it’s real. The foundations are being laid for a stronger, more connected Nigeria.

Tinubu's federal government has embark on major road construction and rehabilitation projects across all geopolitical zones, from the Abuja- Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Dual Carriageway, the 9th Mile-Oturkpo-Makurdi Road, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Abuja-Lokoja-Benin Road, Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Oyo-OgbomosoRoad, Sokoto-Badagry Road, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Second Niger Bridge Access Road to Bodo-Bonny Road among hundreds of ongoing road projects across the country.

Let’s talk food. Yes, hunger still exists. But the grip of the grain cartels — those faceless hoarders who manipulated scarcity for profit — has been broken. When the price of rice soared beyond ₦100,000, Tinubu’s team didn’t just watch. They acted. Tariffs on food imports were suspended. Mechanized farming equipment was imported from the US, Brazil, and Belarus. Local farmers received incentives.

Gradually, food production is rising. The goal is clear: Nigeria must feed itself. The youth have not been left out. From the Skill-Up Artisans Programme to the National Youth Talent Export initiative, young Nigerians are being prepared to compete globally.

NYSC members now earn ₦77,000, up from ₦33,000. That’s not just a raise — it’s dignity restored. And for those struggling with tuition, the Student Loan Scheme now offers real hope. No one should drop out because they can’t afford fees, and that’s the message this administration is sending.

Even the average Nigerian can now dream of owning appliances or even a car through the Consumer Credit Corporation. Over ₦200 billion has been set aside so that ordinary citizens can buy goods and pay over time. For a country where “cash and carry” was once the only way, this is revolutionary.

Security is still a challenge, yes, but there’s movement. The military has been better equipped. Inter-agency coordination has improved. Kidnappings haven’t disappeared, but many sleeper cells have been dismantled. The approach is shifting — not just guns, but intelligence and strategy.
Revenue?

In just six months of 2024, government revenue rose by ₦9.1 trillion. That’s more than double what we had in the same period the year before. And for the first time, all three levels of government — federal, state, and local — are receiving steady, increased allocations. That means more power to the grassroots, where change is most visible.

Wages have gone up too. The new national minimum wage stands at ₦70,000. Not everyone in the informal sector is feeling it yet, but it's a signal — that this government recognizes the dignity of labor and is ready to walk the talk.

Still, let’s not pretend that all is well. Many Nigerians are tired. The pain of the past two years is real. Prices are still high. The naira still needs more stability. And the wounds from the fuel subsidy removal are still fresh in many homes.

But transformation is never painless. It comes with dislocation. It requires sacrifice. And it demands patience. What Nigeria is undergoing is not just reform — it’s a full-blown economic reset. We’ve moved from illusion to reality, from quick fixes to long-term solutions. It hurts now, but it heals later.

And so we return to that haunting slogan: “Ebi n pawa.” Are we still hungry? Not in the same way. We are no longer hungry because of hopelessness; we are hungry because we are in transition. We are adjusting. We are healing. And we are learning to live in a system that finally tells the truth.

The hunger of 2023 was panic — confusion in the face of sudden change. The hunger of 2025 is different. It is the hunger of a nation finding its feet, discovering its strength, and realizing that growth is a process. But processes need time. Buildings need completion. Foundations need walls and roofs. We cannot afford to abandon the journey at halftime. President Tinubu has started something bold — something rare in our history. He didn’t play to the gallery. He played for the future. Now that we see the first fruits, do we go back to the same policies that brought us to the brink? Or do we press on?

Let’s be honest with ourselves: for any meaningful reform to succeed, continuity is key. Interrupting this process in 2027 would be like removing a doctor halfway through surgery and expecting a miracle. Nigeria cannot afford to go back to subsidy games, dual exchange rates, and lazy borrowing. The path is tough, yes. But it’s also clear. And with Tinubu at the wheel, the destination is visible.

So, no — we are not as hungry as we were. We are still hungry, but now with hope, with direction, and with purpose. We are no longer lost. We are no longer blind. We know where we’re going. And if we truly want to see the end of this hunger — not just a temporary fix but a lasting solution — then we must let this government finish what it started.

Come 2027, we must not change direction for the sake of change. We must hold on to the one leadership bold enough to break the old and build the new. Because what Nigeria needs is not just another election — what it needs is consistency, courage, and continuity.

Someone should please summarize this

This is a Peck and not a kiss.
Grow up please
