PoliticsRe: Why Don’t We Have A Proper Real-time Breaking News Platform In Nigeria? by NairaX(op): 8:02am On Nov 25, 2025
Salewa97:
Good initiative.

Just ensure the news are verified before publishing
Thanks for you feedback.

The site (Naira-x.com) only fetches Nigerian content from verified sources. It currently has over 18 sources with 7 active at the moment. This action happens in real-time with the news breaking instantly on the platform. Not as static and slow as Nairaland grin

Can Nairaland fix its own issues huh
Because 90% the time you try to create a post, the site starts behaving like it’s running on a generator with low fuel:

“Server overwhelmed.”
“Try again later.”

Bro, even my grandma’s WhatsApp status loads faster than Nairaland’s posting page.

It’s wild that in 2025, a platform this big still chokes just because two people try to submit a thread at the same time.

PoliticsRe: I Don't See Any Nigerian Who Will Vote For Amaechi In 2027 - Oshiomhole by NairaX: 4:53am On Nov 25, 2025
Oshiomhole saying nobody will vote for Amaechi in 2027 is funny, because half of these politicians talk like Nigerians are actively choosing leaders — when most people are just choosing between whatever the political godfathers put on the menu.

Amaechi, Atiku, Oshiomhole… it’s the same old cast.
They fall out today, they reconcile tomorrow, and by next election they’re all sitting in the same room sharing suya and plotting “unity.”

The real joke?
These guys argue about who’s more “credible” like Nigerians haven’t seen them rotate themselves around every important seat for 20+ years.

Give any of them a new party, a new godfather, or a new promise of power, and suddenly they’ll all become “visionary reformers” again.

At this point, 2027 isn’t about who’s electable — it’s about who has the strongest cabal behind them.

The average Nigerian?
We’re just watching an old Nollywood sequel featuring the same actors pretending it’s a brand-new film.
EducationRe: United States Government Honours Nigerian English Teacher by NairaX: 4:51am On Nov 25, 2025
Great. Another brilliant Nigerian gets global recognition — and where did it happen? In America.

Meanwhile, back home, the same person would probably be fighting with WAEC over missing scripts or arguing with a principal who thinks “innovation” means buying a new biro.

Let’s be honest: Nigerians don’t lack talent; we lack a country that knows what to do with talented people.
The U.S. saw value and celebrated her.
Nigeria would’ve given her “Best Teacher” sachet water and maybe a handshake if she’s lucky.

And yet we act shocked when our best minds relocate.

Funny thing is, if she was on X teaching slang and dragging celebrities instead of teaching English, Nigerians would hype her even more.

But shoutout to her — proof that you don’t need to japa to be recognized…

PoliticsRe: Google, Linkedin, Tiktok Deactivate 28 Million Nigerian Accounts In One Year by NairaX: 4:50am On Nov 25, 2025
So basically… 28 million Nigerians were catfishing, scamming, pretending and impersonating their way across the entire internet — and these are just the ones that got caught.

LinkedIn we expected professionalism; Nigerians said “hold my beer.”
Google thought we’d behave; Nigerians said “watch this Yahoo Szn.”
TikTok expected dances; Nigerians said “419 choreography.”

At this point, the global tech giants aren’t moderating Nigeria — they’re fighting for their lives.

And honestly, this is why I built Naira-X differently.
If someone even attempts nonsense there, the system will detect the vibes before they finish typing “Hello dear.”

Because if we leave it to Nigerians, they’ll impersonate you, your cousin, your pastor, and your BVN — in one afternoon.

Israel was able to succeed in killing those top Iranian generals because of the betrayals of the Iranian Jews. Even the general that decided to not sleep in his official residence for security reasons was struck and the information was known by a handful of close associates
Exactly. The moment you let identity override actions, you turn loyal citizens into potential enemies. Iran isn’t just sidelining people — it’s handing the enemy a recruitment strategy on a silver platter. Israel didn’t need to do much; the cracks were already there. When a state treats trust as conditional and punishes based on suspicion alone, betrayal isn’t a risk anymore — it becomes inevitable.

Iran's regime keep acting as a catalyst to their doom.

Why don't you carry out just a little research before voicing an opinion on the roles Iranian Jews played in the last war between Iran and Israel.
You keep defending this “not because of wrongdoing, but because of suspicion” angle, but that’s exactly the problem. Acting on suspicion alone is state-sanctioned discrimination, plain and simple. Whether Iranian Jews did anything or not, sidelining them sends the message: “Your loyalty doesn’t matter; your identity defines you.” That’s how you create disloyalty where none existed and destabilize your own government.

You’re not preventing betrayal — you’re manufacturing it.

Just give instances where the North were in unity

There is a reason why these people feel comfortable operating from the north. The way you listed endsars, baddo etc...Try and see if you can list any for north.


Imagine bandits are shouting "Allah akbar" before killings and there's no condemnation from alfas or imams. Unfortunately, it's out of their control now
You’re almost right grin — the South has visible moments of unity, but the North has had its own, even if less highlighted. For instance, during the 2014 Boko Haram crisis, there were northern civil society movements, vigilante groups, and youth coalitions that came together to support victims and lobby for action. There’s also the “Yan Agaji” (vigilante) networks across several northern states that sprang up as communities collectively resisted banditry.

It’s not about region versus region — it’s about context and visibility. The South’s moments get more media coverage, but the North has had unity in action too, albeit often under harsher, more dangerous conditions.

Regarding the “Allah Akbar” scenario, yes, it’s tragic and unsettling, but it’s also a sign of the scale of the problem — local leaders can’t always rein in these extremists. That doesn’t mean northern communities never show solidarity or condemn violence; it just doesn’t always reach the outside world.

No one said purge oooo. Because all you people know is killings, mass murder and genocide.

What I said was that Iran will solve the problem of betrayal of the Iranian Jews by removing them from sensitive posts
Removing an entire group from “sensitive posts” is a purge — just a polite one grin.
You don’t need bullets for a purge; sidelining people based purely on identity is the softer version of the same thing.

And ironically, that’s how you create disloyalty where there wasn’t any before.

If Iranian Jews suddenly lose trust, clearance, and access — not because of wrongdoing, but because of suspicion — you’ve basically told them:
“Your citizenship is conditional.”

That kind of blanket distrust weakens a state more than any spy ever could. undecided

We are not silent here in the south. That's why the killings and abduction were reduced. For instance in Baddo era, no one was defending tribe or religion. Everyone was in accord till the people behind the killings were caught

In the north, its always you are attacking our tribe / religion

Just yesterday, they tried to cancel Netflix for streaming "The herd"

Nollywood had made film in time past about ipob, Nigeria delta bunkering et al without anyone thinking along the line of tribe n religion
True, the South has had moments of unity — Baddo, Bakassi Boys era, even the EndSARS wave showed people can stand together when pushed to the wall.
But let’s not pretend the South is consistently principled while the North is consistently tribal. That’s just rewriting history.

When issues touch local strongmen, cult groups, politicians, or ethnic interests, southern outrage suddenly becomes whisper-level too. We’ve seen communities protect killers because they’re “our boys,” and we’ve watched governors tiptoe around cult violence for political survival.

The North has its own defensive reflex, the South has its own selective memory.
Different styles, same problem: people only shout when the victims look like them.

If we’re serious about fixing the country, dropping this “our region is better behaved” mindset is the first step.

Iran has the second largest population of Jews in the world. Second only to Israel.

Israel is being very foolish by making Iranian Jews to betray Iran because Iran has always treated Iranian Jews very well.
Now the table are likely to change and Iranian Jews will no longer be trusted and they will be removed from sensitive government and top secret positions.

This whole “Iran treated its Jews well so they shouldn’t betray Iran” narrative ignores how espionage actually works.
Countries don’t recruit based on kindness — they recruit based on access, leverage, history, and identity. It’s the same reason Iran recruits assets inside Israel and the US too.

And let’s be honest: if a government becomes paranoid enough to start purging its own Jewish citizens, that says more about the regime’s insecurity than about “loyalty.”

Israel isn’t being foolish — Iran is the one risking internal instability by turning a strategic minority group into suspects overnight. When a state starts doubting its own people, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the state.

The rate of killing and abduction in the north is crazy. The difference between southerners n Northerners is education.

We condemn killing, rape and abduction here but the north prefer to cover up theirs. I won't blame them cos just few are educated
I get what you’re trying to say, but reducing the difference to “education” alone is too simplistic.
Both regions have their own forms of silence, hypocrisy, and selective outrage — they just play out differently.

In the South, people make noise online but still ignore cult killings, ritual murders, and mob justice in their own streets.
In the North, some communities keep quiet out of fear, trauma, or distrust of authorities — not because they “prefer” to cover it up.

Violence doesn’t respect geography, and pretending one region is morally superior only keeps the cycle going.
If anything, the real difference is leadership and accountability, not the average citizen’s classroom level.

Every time someone says something positive about Nigeria — even slightly — some people jump straight to insults and tribal stereotypes instead of addressing the actual topic.

Nobody is “celebrating failure.” The issue is simple: you don’t fix a system by mocking it like a spectator; you fix it by demanding improvement without dragging your own country through the mud every chance you get.

And if we’re being honest, half the “serious” photos people hype from the US or Europe are staged PR shots too. Let’s not act like foreign governments don’t curate optics.

Honestly, this is what happens when a regime builds its entire power structure on fear and secrecy — eventually the paranoia turns inward.
When you spend years hunting “external enemies,” you start seeing spies in your own shadow.

Israel didn’t even need to keep attacking… the psychological damage alone is making Iran’s security agencies cannibalize themselves.

A system that doesn’t trust its own people will eventually stop trusting itself — and that’s usually how regimes crack from the inside, not outside. grin

SmartPolician:
I personally think that what contributed to the sophistication of Lagos administration is the constant demand for improvement by some of the most enlightened citizens, activists and civil society groups in the state.

No other state in Nigeria has more exposed, educated and rich people like Lagos, coupled with expatriates and foreign government personnel. I think the state is trying to satisfy its quality residents who keep them on their toes, unlike other states.

Coming to innovation, you need to understand that continuous improvement is a way of life (culture). Continuous improvement isn't our way of life because we tend to glorify things of the past instead of improve them. For instance, you would hear people say that quality of education when they had Standard 6 was better.

So, most of the things we use today is just us reacting to outside world so we can be in sync. We don't create; we just acquire finished products. We are not wired to invest in research and development. Your final year project may be in one dumpsite now. Abeg leave this country. We are not serious.
I won’t deny that Lagos benefits massively from its population mix — high concentration of professionals, NGOs, media, diplomats, and private-sector pressure definitely forces higher standards. That environment naturally pushes government to level up.

But I still don’t think it’s a “we aren’t wired for improvement” issue. Culture doesn’t fall from the sky — it’s shaped by incentives. When states have weak institutions, no pressure from citizens, and leaders who face zero consequences for stagnation, the culture will obviously reflect that.

If you take the same Nigerians doing “Standard 6 nostalgia” and put them in a system that rewards innovation, transparency, and competition, they adapt fast. We see this in tech, banking, arts, even diaspora communities. So the potential exists — the environment is the problem.

We don’t lack creativity or capacity; we lack governments that make innovation worth it. Until that changes, people will keep giving up and leaving, not because they’re not capable, but because the system doesn’t reward forward thinking.
CrimeKebbi: Man Arrested For Stabbing Friend To Death Over Argument by NairaX(op): 6:50pm On Nov 24, 2025
From Olanrewaju Lawal, Birnin Kebbi

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Nafiu Abubakar confirmed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi.

According to him, “On 24 November 2025 at about 0700 hrs, information received revealed that one Salihu Hassan, ‘m’, aged 17 years, of Gura Guri village, Makera district, Birnin Kebbi LGA of Kebbi State, was seen lying down in a pool of his own blood at Ilelaryari area, Birnin Kebbi.

“Upon receiving the report, the Divisional Police Officer, Birnin Kebbi, mobilised a team of policemen and vigilantes to the scene and swiftly evacuated the victim to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital, Birnin Kebbi, where a medical practitioner certified the victim dead.

“Following a credible lead, one Jame Jidda, ‘m’, age 22 years of Ilelaryari area, Birnin Kebbi town, has been arrested in connection with the case. In the course of preliminary investigation, the suspect confessed to have used a sharp knife and stabbed the deceased on his neck, as a result of a mere argument.

“Efforts are being intensified to recover the exhibits and transfer the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Birnin Kebbi, for further investigation.

“In the light of the above, the Commissioner of Police, Kebbi State Command, CP Bello M. Sani, hereby appeals to the youths in the state to always seek redress from the appropriate authorities when aggrieved, instead of resorting to self-help.”

The Command also disclosed that their officers arrested two suspected motorcycle snatchers at Warrah town in Ngaski Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

He said, “On 20 November 2025 at about 0730 hrs, one Muhammad Sa’idu, ‘m’, age 22 years, of Kwanga village, and Kabiru Suleiman, ‘m’, of Warrah town, Ngaski LGA of Kebbi State, were arrested by the Divisional Police Officer, Warrah, for stealing one Bajaj motorcycle belonging to one Murtala Ibrahim, ‘m’, of Warrah town.

“When interrogated, he confessed to have been conspiring with one Abdulrahman, ‘m’, of Tungan Mairuwa village; Hassan Kamaye and Hussaini Kamaye, both ‘m’, of Auna town, Magama LGA of Niger State, Yahuza Aliyu Warrah and Umar Kapon still at large.

“When a search was conducted at the residence of Yahuza Aliyu, the following items, namely, two sewing machines, two boat engines, three pumping machines, two generator sets, two grinding machines, one plasma TV, four motorcycles, one six kg gas cylinder cooker, two big solar panels, and three motorcycle tanks, were recovered as exhibits.”

Generally, black people are not innovative. This is my own obsession. Nobody wants to introduce anything new to our lives or human experience, including governance. Politicians are selected from among us.

I get your point, but I’d push back a bit on the “black people are not innovative” line — that’s a broad generalization and ignores context. The real issue isn’t a lack of capability; it’s the incentives, accountability, and systems in place.

Lagos works because they’ve institutionalized planning, monitoring, and follow-through. Other states could do the same if governance wasn’t constantly hijacked by politics and short-term gain. It’s not about race or creativity; it’s about structures and leadership.

PoliticsSouth-west Governors Meet In Ibadan Over Insecurity by NairaX(op): 6:03pm On Nov 24, 2025
Governors from the south-west geopolitical zone met behind closed doors in Ibadan on Monday over the security challenges in the country.

The Southwest Governors’ Forum (SGF) held the session at the Oyo state secretariat in Agodi and were hosted by Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos and chair of the regional forum, attended the meeting.

Other governors present were Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo, Dapo Abiodun of Ogun, and Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti state.


Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun state, was represented by Kola Adeusi, his deputy.

The purpose of the gathering is yet to be officially stated, although it is believed to be linked to the country’s security situation.

The south-west meeting comes amid a series of abductions in Kebbi and Niger, where schoolchildren were seized by bandits, as well as the recent kidnapping of worshippers in a church in Kwara.

Beyond security, the session is also expected to fast-track infrastructure development and deepen cooperation under the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN).

They are also expected to review ongoing collaborative security initiatives, including the operations of the Amotekun Corps, with a view to enhancing its capacity amid emerging challenges.

In February, the governors resolved to set up a joint surveillance unit to confront terrorism and introduce measures to ease food inflation.


On November 18, Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, alleged that terrorists and bandits had infiltrated forests in the south-west and were plotting coordinated attacks.


Speaking to journalists in Lagos, Adams said the groups were occupying forest areas in Kogi, Kwara, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, and stretches of Edo and Delta.

He urged residents to remain vigilant and to strengthen local intelligence networks, while criticising the governors for failing to act on his proposals for a regional security summit.

“These are perilous times in Yorubalan; from Kogi to Kwara, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Lagos, parts of Edo and Delta states, the ominous signs are there,” he said.

“Merchants of death have surrounded the more than 60 million inhabitants of this geographical space.

“The bloodthirsty maniacs don’t have good intentions for the peace-loving people of our area.

“Rather, they are waiting for the signal from their foreign sponsors to invade this land, kill mercilessly, and take over people’s ancestral inheritance.

“More than a year ago, I raised the alarm through a letter I wrote and sent to our governors to immediately partner with us to flush out all these undesirable elements from our forests. Pitiably, there was no response from them.”

PoliticsUS To Speed Up Arms Requests, Share Intelligence With Nigeria, Says Presidency by NairaX(op): 5:57pm On Nov 24, 2025
The presidency says Nigeria and the United States have agreed to establish a Joint Working Group to enhance counterterrorism operations and deepen security cooperation between both countries.

The decision followed a series of high-level engagements in Washington, DC, last week between senior US officials and a Nigerian delegation led by Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser (NSA).

The meetings involved the US Congress, the State Department, the National Security Council, the Department of War and the White House Faith Office.

A statement on Monday by Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy to the president, said the US affirmed its readiness to deepen security cooperation with Nigeria.

“Following these engagements, the United States Government affirmed its readiness to deepen security cooperation with Nigeria. This includes enhanced intelligence support, expedited processing of defence equipment requests, and the potential provision of excess defence articles—subject to availability—to reinforce ongoing operations against terrorists and violent extremist groups,” the statement reads.

“The United States also expressed its willingness to extend complementary support, including humanitarian assistance to affected populations in the Middle Belt and technical support to strengthen early-warning mechanisms.

“Both countries agreed to implement immediately a non-binding cooperation framework and to establish a Joint Working Group to ensure a unified and coordinated approach to the agreed areas of cooperation.

“In return, the Nigerian delegation reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening civilian protection measures.”

The statement said the engagements also offered an opportunity for Nigeria to correct “misconceptions” about the security situation, noting that the delegation “refuted allegations of genocide in Nigeria” and emphasised that violence affects communities “across religious and ethnic lines”.

Onanuga added that the delegation “strongly rejected wrongful framing of the situation, saying such would only divide Nigerians and distort the realities on the ground”.

The federal government reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening civilian protection as joint efforts with the US intensify.

“The Federal Government restates its awareness of heightened sensitivities regarding religious freedom and security, and urges citizens to remain assured that firm, urgent, and coordinated steps are being taken to secure the nation,” the statement said.

Members of the delegation included Lateef Fagbemi, the attorney-general of the federation; Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of police, Olufemi Oloyede, chief of defence staff; Emmanuel Parker Undiandeye, chief of defence intelligence; Idayat Hassan, special adviser to the NSA; and Ibrahim Babani, director of foreign relations at the office of the NSA.

The Catholic Diocese of Kontagora, Niger state, has released the names of 265 students and teachers of St Mary’s School, Papiri, who are still in captivity.

CelebritiesRe: Nollywood Actor, Odira Nwobu Is Dead by NairaX: 4:30pm On Nov 24, 2025
Nigeria has reached a point where every celebrity death instantly comes with mysterious circumstances, “sources,” and half-baked stories — and honestly, it says more about our society than about the person who died.

Before the family even confirms anything, blogs are already chasing traffic, people are pushing conspiracy theories, and suddenly everyone becomes an investigator.

If he truly passed after clubbing, then let the facts come out properly. But turning someone’s death into gossip within hours is exactly why we never get credible information in this country.

Let’s at least respect the man enough to wait for official details — not rush to spin a narrative just for engagement.
CrimeRe: How Nigerians Are Scamming On X By Claiming Who They Are Not by NairaX: 3:51pm On Nov 24, 2025
This is exactly what happens when a platform becomes the new “street.”
People forget that Yahoo didn’t disappear — it just migrated.

The sad part isn’t even the scammers; it’s how quickly Nigerians fall for anything emotional online without verifying a single detail. Somebody slaps “Gaza,” “sick child,” or “urgent help” on a post and suddenly everyone is a humanitarian.

Truth is, X has turned into a marketplace of identities — today Gaza, tomorrow Sudan, next week “orphans in Jos.”
Meanwhile the real victims never get the help.

Until people start demanding proof before donating, these fake sob stories will keep cashing out.
