Panicked mode activated in APC camp .
I can hear sweat twinkling down their cheeks
Their heartbeat felt like sasquatch feet
Thundering shaking the concrete

Obi is coming

Yeah, Obi is the man that can give PBAT a run for his money. PBAT is a renowned grassroot politician with a solid political structure & war chest to win elections. But he'll struggle in 2027. He hasn't done well in his first tenure to merit being re-elected. What'll save him from defect is the incumbency factor & lack of free, fair & credible elections in the country.

Very ungrateful statement. Obi was the greatest thing that happened to the Labour Party. If not for electoral manipulations, ethno-religious sentiments etc., perhaps he would've won the elections.
For the first time in the history of Nigeria, a candidate without grassroot structures unruffled the feathers of political heavy weights. Tinubu was defeated in Lagos, the FCT captured & several candidates won legislative elections. LP won governorship elections in Abia State. So what's the Party talking about now?

Who's the leader of the NEF? I'm happy they've found their voices lost during the era of PMB. Nigeria will be a better place if we abandon ethno-religious sentiments & discuss issues based on its merit.

Prosperous111:
Lol, the US strikes is not that effective but it works in checkmating them and making them reconsider a strike on Christmas day and there was no terrorist attacks on boxing day either....

This is why I said the attack wasn't effective, if the attack was a success we would have seen an assessment of the impacts in all areas strikes, there would be body counts littered around because tomahawk cruise missiles is not a joke, it's precise and have a little crater after hit... That's not the point, the point is, we would have seen images of all the strikes with their body, weapons and their motorcycle they move around with... I'm glad they got checkmate.

Gumi would have instruct them after the attack to lay low or split up, then they know the attacks wouldn't end on 25 so they will try to find a leverage, they will kidnap a lot of people to avoid getting bombed, but they forgot they're not dealing with Nigeria government anymore, the yanks got a register for collateral damages and doesn't give a flying Bleep about civilian casualties

Some sensitive security issues are better left undiscussed. The images of the strikes confirms targets were hit. If the terrorists are still alive or not jittery, wouldn't you see them making noise online?
The problem is with the State actors. They need to do more to avoid terrorists setting up camps easily in any part of the country.

Who's this local security expert? Has he gone to the site nor interacted with the squad that did the operation?
In Nigeria security Chiefs don't have realtime images from the warfront.
The POTUS watches realtime action on screen & won't come out to say terrorists were decimated if he didn't have confirmed information.
If the terrorists are still alive, with time we'll know.

Very commendable effort. God bless!

Nigeria has no business going to the world cup. We prefer everything backdoor.

Even Congo plays better than Nigeria. Congo and SA should go ahead in the world cup. Nigeria should be ashamed of itself as the ant of Africa

The issue here is sincerity of purpose & fair play. The game has rules. If Congo DR violated the rules, the team should be punished.

israelmao:
Buhari kind should rest in peace?I doubt its possiblity.

The evil that men do lives after them. Is El-Rufai now a resident of Cairo?
PMB disappointed his supporters. And Atiku was robbed of victory for him to get a second term. And he still disappointed his supporters again. Ethno-religious sentiments & nepotism were major issues.

He did his best, may he enjoy his retirement from active football & achieve success in his future endeavours.

Religious extremism is the primary problem & there's need to curtail some religious doctrines & preachers. There's need to dissociate ethno-religious politics from issues of governance which is the root cause of the ongoing crisis.

helinues:
Una no dey tired with this stale , boring repeated story wey don cast?

Who are the people killing the southern Christians?

And if the excuse is about the northern christians, Muslim have been killed than the christians in north.

Seh una see say una story don cast

Meanwhile, Ipob dey amongst the christians killing christians in South East

Southerners are the major gun runners and also run the logistics to deliver the arms and ammunition, and they are mostly christians. Whatever that might be happening in North, the southern Christians are also part of it

Religious extremism is the primary people & there's need to curtail some religious doctrines & preachers. There's need to dissociate ethno-religious politics from issues of governance which is the root cause of the ongoing crisis.

Nigerians are watching as Dangote is openly trying to turn petrol supply into a cartel

Business vs. Cartel

A business is built by competing. It creates value by offering better products, prices, or services, and it survives only as long as customers freely choose it. Regulation is accepted as part of the social contract, and failure is always possible.

A cartel is built by eliminating competition. It seeks profit through control, collusion, intimidation, regulatory capture, or barriers that prevent others from entering the market. Regulation is treated as an enemy, not a safeguard.

If Dangote is the corruption Czar he claims to be, Where was this energy when he was getting subsidized dollars from Emefiele. Who is the most corrupt Nigerian in modern times. Building a 750-Unit estate with stolen funds. Dangote did not report him to ICPC. They did business together amicably.

We need to be serious in this country. Why must we be importing refined PMS & paying bridging fees to marketers when there's a refinery producing PMS locally? Are we not penny wise, pound foolish?

Without tackling corruption in this Nation, we may not achieve meaning progress.

It's sad. He died in active service. A lot of questions but no answers.

Is there no functional health clinic in the government house? Does the state have emergency services including ambulance services for resuscitation & rescue of persons with critical health conditions.

In what condition & how's he transferred from government house to FMC, Yenagoa? What's the immediate resuscitative measures in government house?

Healthcare is the primary responsibility of government & officials should discharge their functions effectively. If a deputy governor can collapse in office & couldn't be resuscitated, then there's no hope for a common man. Healthcare is expensive, government should ensure universal health coverage. There's need for adequate budgetary provision & development of the private health sector to complement the public health sector. There's also need for public-private partnership & collaborations to ensure quality healthcare delivery to the people.

TimeManager:
Meanwhile when Tinubu was creating the Livestock Ministry, members of opposition with limited understanding and stunted foresights were kicking, calling it a waste, propaganda, etc. But look at it now, barely a year, things are shaping up. Look how excited the Governor sounded. How many Governors have been given enabling environment to earn foreign exchange since 1999?. Look how Governors across the states, regions and political parties are executing different kinds of projects under the leadership of Jagaban. And if these Governors completed a project and named it after Tinubu, you will be on your keyboard kicking. Renewed Hope till 2031.

-Kiss the truth!

What breed of cattle are they exporting? Talk is cheap.

CodeTemplarr:
The money they use to fund religion in a year will banish power deficiency for life. It is a matter of priority. Today, they are hungry but can buy expensive weapons to fuel insecurity. It has always been a matter of priority for all regions of Nigeria.

You're correct. Their priorities are wrong: emphasis on religious activities & politics over development. No economic development plans, high illiteracy rates, lack of family planning, insecurity etc. are problems they need to tackle.
Bad governance & poor leadership is a problem. PMB's 8 years in office was used to emphasize tribal dominance over national development. The consequences are what we're facing today.

A lot of the Christians displaced from their communities have not been able to return. Some of the property have been taken over by extremists who now occupy the communities. I know some that've relocated to other States & are now permanently there.

slivertongue:
Nigeria doesn't really need US boots here. All that is needed is the political will but Tinubu's advisers including Ribadu will never support a change of tactics

The problem is not just change of tactics but capability. Do we've the needed facilities to win the war? Can the C-in-C monitor real-time what's going on in the fields or just releasing funds to the military without getting the desired results?
The Americans have offered to help, why is the government resisting it? What're there afraid of? Are officials benefiting from the crisis?

Putinofrussia:
Deep thinking and watching antecedents of events are needed for a good leader.
Does HE Obi possess this with this remark?
Can HE Obi tell us where in the world USA
has been able to eliminate terrorism...
USA has been in Afghanistan,Syria etc.
The terrorists are unfortunately the rulers of those nations now.
We need USA to collaborate with Nigeria as they did with Liberia not start another massive war due to the extremism of some Northerners.

So Islamic fundamentalists must continue to kill Christians while the FG is handicapped when the US has offered to help. There's no better option. Our military is compromised & the political class is bereft of ideas.

brain54:
The crazy thing is that CAN, prominent and influential people...

The masses and nobody is making too much noise about this in Nigeria.

We have come to see these killings and kidnappings as mere statistics.

Nigerians have become used to this and just move on like nothing happened.

It's disgraceful that it's those from outside that are drawing attention to the killings and lending a voice to our plight!

The big people don't wanna lose their jobs.

hatchy:
Bandits or Terrorist, which one are we dealing with.
These are Terrorist and never Bandits. Call a spade a spade and stop the pampering.

Tinubu you see your life? When you were going up and down discrediting and disparaging Jonathan because he is from the minority, and your tribal bigoted friends and brothers cheered you, little did you know that you'll be in the same shoes.

Where is the professor, the pastor, the coffin bearers and emergency lovers of Nigeria today?
Suddenly they all went mute because it is their tribal man in the seat of power.

The South South people were so foolish that they have to sacrifice their son just to please Nigeria and keep it running as a country. It wouldn't have happened if it were any of the big 3, there would have been bloodshed than relinquish power even in the face of massive rigging by Jegga, the APC with all their importation of foreigners from the desert countries to help them ferment trouble to win elections.

Karma knows everyone's address.

How're the South South people foolish? Please mind your language. PBAT & Co. used the problem of insecurity esp. the kidnapping of Chibok girls, attempt to remove fuel subsidy etc. to campaign against PGEJ then. They promoted PMB as the Messiah & ethno-religious politics was promoted. PGEJ didn't want to waste lives because his victory would've result in killing of Southerners & Christians in the North with reprisal attacks in the South.
PMB & now PBAT have nothing to offer this country except sufferings, nepotism & more insecurity problems including genocide of Christians. Bribing or intimidating governors to join the APC is a futile exercise. He can't win any free, credible & fair elections in this country unless they're planning to rig elections. He's too weak, incompetent & cowardly. The Nation is burning, lives wasted, students kidnapped & schools closed in the North & the C-in-C is missing in action. He wasn't prepared for leadership, he just needed the name for reasons best know to him. However, the effect of the compromises he made is not doing the country any good & it's affecting the country negatively.

olaniyilukman:
honestly bro, I congratulate all Igbos , Nnamdi kanu is a very toxic human being and it doesn't fit to lead any reasonable organisation, his conduct inside the court premises speaks volume and had it been Biafra eventually gained independent, the situations there will be worst than that of North Korea...

What's good about Nigeria? Do we've terrorist in North Korea? There's no rule of law, otherwise terrorists & gunmen will not be operating freely & government either giving excuses for failing to apprehend them or negotiating with them from a point of weakness. A high court has sentenced MNK & he's appealing the judgement. Less wait for the outcome at the Appeal Court. Which judge has sentenced a terrorist that's bombed & killed several people including the UN building in Abuja to life sentence before?

F117nighthawk:
Even if u pronounce death sentence on him, tell me who has the guts that can sign the death sentence in Nigeria, which governor or president has the courage or guts? They all have questions and cases to answer. Let he that is without sin cast the first stone. All of them are criminals from top to bottom

That's not the main issue. He's opportunities to appeal the sentence. That may take some years again.

shinarambou:
No it wasn't
This is classicism. This is why we deserve the bad leaders we get.

Who wants to kill him; thought he's stationed at the disputed property with troops? Are bandits now in the FCT? Or some armed men are interested in the land? The FCTDA deals with bulldozers not weapons.

ufotunang:
Yes you will take PDP to Aso Rock

Hope they're not fielding Atiku?

Tareq1105:
Ruling party is not scared of opposition, it's the opposition that doesn't have sense and has lost leadership.

Was the current ruling party not in opposition before now? Ask yourself how they managed the party till they got to power. It's respect for leadership. Tell me one person that is highly respected in PDP leadership today? They're all leaders in their own state, so whose fault? Is it Tinubu?

When APC was in opposition, Tinubu was regarded as National Leader. Someone more than 85% members respect. So he was able to stabilize the party.

This is what is lacking in PDP.

You understand the politics. The major problem with PDP is lack of a National leader. Some members feel they're larger than the party. They believe they're entitled to lead through the party irrespective of the circumstances. Now that the South South mugus are no longer funding the party, they're in a fix. Most of them, PDP is not in charge of their states. They're now light weight politicians. Adolphus Wabara doesn't have much grassroot supporters, LP is incharge of Abia State & the Governor is doing well. They're all paying for betraying PGEJ in 2015. Some of them have roamed around other parties without getting lucrative contractions/appointments or where to settle. Some believe Wike is their problem but he's the one funding the party & they betrayed him during the Presidential primaries in 2022. Where's Atiku they collected money & supported then? They are the architect of their misfortune.

RandomFellow:
If GEJ allow himself to be used again...

Tinubu is waiting to use Wike to cancel the outcome of this convention. In fact, this convention will be deemed invalid by the time Wike sues. GEJ should be smarter. He should know the snakes and chameleons in power.

Tinubu is a bad guy. A stealthy smooth operator. Even Obaseki (one of the smartest politicians in Nigeria) no smooth reach Tinubu. By the time you notice Tinubu is interested in the game, it's already checkmate.

If you want to play this game, rule one is... know thy enemy!

Rule 2? Fear Tinubu.

Rule 3... Fear who no fear Tinubu!


I didn't vote Tinubu in 2023, but I'm sure the man has already finished the game for 2027! Na swearing-in remain ooo

PBAT cannot win free & fair elections because most people barely cope to survive. His economic policies are unbearable to the masses.
Even if he gives the core Northern free meals from now till the election day, he'll not get the majority of their votes. Ethno-religious sentiments & entitlement mentality will play a major role.
His ace is courting Southern voters & the Northern elites that can manipulate electoral victories to his favour. The other option is INEC manoeuvres as it was done in PMB v Atiku in 2019.

Winterhaven:
Still doesn't make yerima a hero. Both of them are wrong...

Yea, they celebrate mediocrity. And the writer, an Atlanta based Professor is politically biased. It's a way of distracting attention. The banditry, insurgency etc. is not their problem but how to remove Wike & take charge of lands in the FCT is their priority. But they've always been there; what's their achievements? Who created the mess Wike is trying to correct? Time shall tell.

PigTormentor:
Ogar was like a dictator under Jonathan. Why will Tinubu reinstate such a despicable person?
I still remember that lady when DSS raided APC office and took their computers away just because Jonathan knew he was about to lose the election.
Tinubu messed up big time.
Many bad things happened under Jonathan but Nigerians have very poor memory.
Just imagine DSS raiding the offices of the opposition now and taking their computers away.
The noise and accusations will be heard at the UN.

PBAT is desperate for re-election. He's the ace because the termination of their appointments didn't follow due process. There's no point allowing professionals to be relieved of their posts while mediocres are elevated for political purposes. And that's the trend of PMB.

This is the setback of polygamy & having children from different women. The man should be allowed to rest in peace. What do they intend to achieve now in an autopsy request? It should've been done immediately after his demise when the body was released fresh. I'm sure he would've been embalmed for preservation for burial.

Fiscus105:
I was ashamed for Wike the day, they discussed his issue on Arise tv

The question I asked myself that day, IS IT ONLY WIKE WORKING FOR TINUBU RE-ELECTION? WHY ONLY HIM FIGHTING EVERYBODY AND BE IN BAD BOOK OF MANY PEOPLE?

WHY A MAN WILL BE PUTTING HIS REPUTATION IN WRONG PATH, WHEN HE IS NOT EVEN THE BIGGEST BENEFICIARY?

Didn't he have political ambitions in future? What if Tinubu drops him now, what will happen to him next? "Politically & his safety".

Didn't he even fear for his life, by having confrontations and fighting military hierarchy? Wen his boss, even threading softly with them.

Is anybody safe in this country? This is a country where retd. General has been kidnapped, General killed by criminals & we're celebrating illegal deployment of troops to protect a retd. CNS's disputed property. We must emancipate ourselves from mental slavery to make meaningful progress.

kilmot:
I also believe you are also missing something. You need to find out what happened before the soldiers were mobilize to the site don't just jump to defend nonsense cos the minister acted foolishly before the world and I won't be surprise if he pushed them to issue this public apology to make him look good before the general public. Fear who no fear politician. Someone who said "you are fool" several times on camera and later denied saying it haaaaa.
This man can deny pregnancy. So no just reason am.

The General resorted to self help instead of providing his land documents. I believe he humiliated the military & gave Wike the opportunity to dishonour the military uniform. The officer was on illegal duty. Irrespective of how we intend to glorify him, the truth is obvious.

onatisi:
Tinubu should quickly rein Wike to order, military don't like with any of their own I remember the case of mko Abiola and the airforce recruits then , when mko was severely beaten , he thought ibb will punish them , lailai.
Wike is very lucky he didn't meet. Mad crazy one on that site , all his teeth would have been removed by now

The issue was between MKO's son, Deji & Air Force personnel over a traffic altercation - the Mad dog incident, January 25, 1988.
The personnel invaded Abiola's house & assaulted people there. AVM Nura Imam, the AOC, Air Force base said, "the Air Force are trained to have the instinct of a mad dog. Sometimes when they don't act, their masters are not always happy".
