Thieves are all over Nigeria’s public sector.
True

Bigger ones than Abacha could ever dream of being. Murderer, not so sure.
Not true. Mr Abacha was bigger.

The state eliminates people, in every country in the world. If you’re identified as a possible source of instability. You are eliminated. How did boko haram spiral out of control? Was it not the state’s extrajudicial killing of their leader? This happened around 2009. Till this day the country is managing that fall out. Bola Ige, Harry Marshal? Etc etc.
No, not all states eliminate people all the time. Yes, states sometimes eliminate terrorists. But Abacha's victims were not terrorists. (He killed terrorists too - do you hear anyone complain about those?) His victims were people he perceived as a threat to his personal ambitions. He even murdered some for merely blocking a road to protest. No, not all states do that. Thank you. Abacha murdered people - Rewane, Kudirat, etc.

Yussuf was not killed on President Yaradua's orders. He was not killed by the president's bodyguards or anything. He was killed by rogue police officers. He was likely silenced by the IGP working for some Borno politicians. (And because he was a bad person, Nigerians thought it was ok. I didn't.) But, yes, the state and the president did nothing about the crime, which made them complicit. Yes, it was wrong and should never happened. (See, I'm condemning it, not excusing it.) That doesn't mean the president killed him for his own political ambition.

The other names you mentioned are victims of crimes. We don't know who killed them. Since when did assassinations, political or not, become state crimes or presidential crimes?

Our grammar in Nigeria is great.
Our pronunciation is not close to that of Ghanaians.
Our oral English teachers even said it while we were growing up.

Just same way a southerner in Nigeria will laugh at a Northerner when they speak English. But a Northerner who speaks well will almost speak English with a better pronunciation than an average southerner.

Please research about this. No sentiments

Your oral English teachers (or teechairs, Ghanaians would call them) were clueless. They think that saying "cat" when you mean "cut" or 'berse" when you mean "bus" is good pronunciation. Why don't you listen to native English speakers (BBC Radio is free) and see if they say cat or berse?

And the people in power today are what?Do you think they won’t do worse if they had absolute power like Abacha? Can you compare what Abacha stole to what has been looted and misappropriated by the so called democrats between the time of Buhari and 2026?
Did I say our politicians are good people? They aren't. But Abacha was worse. I followed his activities in Nigerian militics since the day he announced the Buhari coup of 1983 till the day he died 1998. He was a thief and a murderer.

Since NADECO took power life is unbearable.

The average Ghanaian will pronounce words with the schwa sound like sun, cup, cut, love, etc better than an average Nigerian. But that doesnt take away the brilliance and great English speaking ability of a Nigerian.

If you listen to a well educated Hausa or Fulani speak English, you will see it is closer to the original English than that of a Yoruba or Igala or Igbo person.

Check it out please
I don't think Ghanaians pronounce English better than Nigerians. Nigerian pronunciation is not particularly bad. We pronounce some things wrongly, yes, but our accents and pronunciation are mostly good enough to be understood by native English speakers. It's in grammar that Nigerians aren't that good. Our grammar is terrible - and the problem seems to be getting worse every year.

I don't think their intonation is better though. Its overstressed more than the original language speakers. What is cam when you want to say come or cap when you want to say cup? I've listened to British and Americans speak and they don't sound like that.


What I know Ghanians do better is say the original English words better. Nigerians have a lot of fabricated words that are not in the English language dictionary.


Ghanians seem to overstretch the words. And the funny thing is if you speak anything outside than what they know or are used to then you go explain tire.


You go to a shop and say you want to buy cup instead of cap you go stand there explain tire for minutes. (Sometimes I think they do it purposely. I had to stylishly tell a woman to stop trying to correct my intonation all the time like a primary school teacher and sell for me. Indians, Chinese etc speak their English the way they do with stronger intonations but nobody insists on speaking a particular intonation) Nigerians are more used to different intonations maybe because of our population and diversity in intonation though.

No. Their intonation is closer to the Queen's English than Nigeria's intonation. But that is way different from knowing the English language. Nigerians are good at the English language even with not a good accent/intonation.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Rejects US Ceasefire Proposal Delivered By Iraq PM — NYT by JuanDeDios: 12:38pm On Jul 24
Razzness:
Trump is in a very tight spot. He wants this war to end badly but doesn't seem to have many options.

His first option is to escalate further; bring down the full force of the US military on Iran, destroy Tehran and as much infrastructure as they can. But this is his most dangerous option because this war does not have popular support in the US, thousands of civilians will die, and it still does not guarantee Iran will capitulate. Perhaps even more worrying for him is that Iran has the capacity to wreak havoc in Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Doha, Manama, Kuwait City and Muscat. These are very important allies of the US; they just can't afford to lose.

His second option is to send in ground troops to capture one or two islands. The problem is not capturing the Island but keeping it. The Iranians will happily let the troops land on the Island and start firing everything they have on them, meaning the US will suffer more casualties and it still doesn't guarantee the Iranians will capitulate.

His third option is to do a ceasefire. This will most likely be more humiliating for him than the MOU, because Iran will obviously not give up the Strait of Hormuz, and they will use delay tactics to kick the nuclear issue down the road.

His fourth option is to maintain the status quo. Sustained but restrained bombing of military targets and a naval blockade, hoping it will force Iran to come to the table. However, oil prices are now high and above; with the Houthis blockading the Bab-al-Mandab Strait, prices will likely continue to go up. So, this is not a sustainable strategy.

These are all bitter pills to swallow and Trump must swallow one.
Brilliant and spot on analysis.

For those who did not watch the interview on ChannelsTv.

Seun, after been told by Bwala that he seems to have entered into the same bus as the opposition, especially giving the fact that he didn't consider it newsworthy to applaud Trumps recognition of Tinubu's effort at combating terrorism (and pointing out that if trump had rubbished the country instead, it appears Seun will be happier), told Bwala that whoever comes to equity comes with clean hands. Bwala then raised his hands to show how clean his hands are while buttresing his points with more facts

Go and watch it. Don't take my words for it.

They Recycled An Old Letter From Trump, There's No Letter Of Commendation From Him In 2026 - Onochie

Lauretta Onochie, a Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC and former presidential aide has dared the APC to publish the said letter of commendation extended to President Tinubu.

According to the statements which were shared on her official X handle on Thursday July 23rd, 2026 she pointed out that the presidency recycled an old commendation letter to score cheap political points.

The presidency, it can be recalled, had announced that president Donald Trump extended a commendation letter to President Tinubu on his achievements in the fight against insecurity.

However, while many disputed the content of the letter, Lauretta Onochie, a Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC took to her official X handle to drop a bombshell.

In her statements, she accused the presidency of recycling an old commendation letter, which she believed was extended to President Tinubu between 2024 and 2025 in response to his congratulatory message to President Donald Trump.

She further dared the presidency to publish the said commendation letter, arguing that no letter of commendation from President Donald Trump was received in 2026.

"There no letter of commendation from Trump in 2026. The letter they are referencing was written in response to Tinubu's congratulatory message to Trump in late 2024 or early 2025." she wrote.
