With the way Baba Obasanjo was strongly opposed, I don't think any other President can even think of it. No reason am

Kwankwaso crowd that came for Sallah meat is gingering these two clowns

Wait till the negotiations to see if Kwankwaso will not insist that he is too big to deputize Peter Obi and the agulu fraudster must accept to be his running mate for the collabo to work

There is something fundamentally wrong with how most of APC people reason

Peter obi won't be happy with this cleric advice, obi that is good at campaigning with religion

Richtaiwo:
This quote from peter Obi will go down as the best quote of the year and I'm sure nobody can beat that.

Richtaiwo:
Drop this half-baked pretence of intelligence. Do you honestly think you’re speaking to your fellow travellers? You expect me to write about Tinubu aspiration for re-election while conveniently ignoring Obi, who is equally in the race, what kind of warped reasoning is that?

If you have any substance, then present a convincing reason why I shouldn’t prefer Tinubu a thousand times over someone you’re struggling so hard to defend. And spare me this incoherent nonsense going forward, this sort of empty, disjointed argument is exactly why I have no hesitation blocking clueless noise when it becomes unbearable.

Richtaiwo:
Yes, you had the audacity to tell me to spend my energy explaining why Tinubu deserves reelection. In the same breath, I advised you to focus your energies on justifying Obi’s presidential ambition, given his widely documented failures as a state governor.

So tell me, which part of that advice are you still mangling into nonsense? Is it really that difficult for you to explain why Obi should be elected, or are you simply incapable of putting together a coherent argument without resorting to empty noise?

Richtaiwo:
You are busy marketing Peter Obi, yet you jump into a thread only to derail it and shift the focus to Tinubu. And you expect me to dance to your tune. Such cheap tactics may deceive the naive, but they certainly won’t work on me.

I respond in the same manner I’m addressed, so don’t expect a different outcome. Your tricks and subterfuge are transparent, and they have no effect on me whatsoever.

Richtaiwo:
You are actively promoting Peter Obi. Why not devote even half of your effort in explaining, in clear and substantive terms, why he should be elected, particularly in the light of his poor performance during his eight years as a state governor?

Richtaiwo:
Just watch the headless mobs in action. The same empty-headed clowns who once argued that a governor’s defection was meaningless because he only has one vote will now claim that Kwankwaso’s planned defection guarantees victory for the ADC.

It’s astonishing how effortlessly they contradict themselves without a shred of self-awareness. One moment, political influence is irrelevant, the next, it becomes decisive, because it suits their narrative.

These 2 adults should grow up. They are both grandpa disgracing themselves on social media

The victim’s friends tried to persuade her to leave with them as they felt uncomfortable but she started blacking out and collapsed, Inner London Crown Court heard.

Two Nigerian Nationals have been sentenced to a total of 21 years after raping a 15-year-old schoolgirl who was plied with alcohol and drugs, Daily Mail reports. Politics news Nigeria

It was reported that the convicts identified as Akinsanya, 34, and 29-year-old Raji targeted their victim after buying her drinks at Irish pub Paddy’s Yard in Brixton, south London, on February 8 last year.

They invited the girl and some of her friends back to Raji’s flat to smoke cannabis and dance.

The victim’s friends tried to persuade her to leave with them as they felt uncomfortable but she started blacking out and collapsed, Inner London Crown Court heard.

The defendants then put the girl through a prolonged ordeal, with Raji filming her.

Prosecutor Diana Wilson read the victim’s impact statement to the court, in which she said she now finds it ‘hard to trust people’.

The schoolgirl described her attackers as ‘disgusting’, while also rejecting the offer to watch the footage of what happened because it was ‘too stressful’.

Akinsanya, from South Croydon, denied but was convicted by a jury of rape and has now been jailed for 10 years.

Raji, from Brixton, denied but was convicted of two counts of rape and one of taking an indecent image of a child and was given 11 years behind bars.

The girl said in her statement: ‘I was in year 10 at school when I was raped – my school life was affected a lot. ‘I didn’t want to go to my lessons. I find it hard to trust people. I’m in year 11 now, I still feel like my school life is being affected by the rape.’

The court heard how she has stopped playing football, the only sport she liked, due to a loss of confidence following the attack.

She was asked to watch the video Raji took of her naked but had to stop, saying: ‘I found it too stressful.’

The victim added: ‘The men who did this to me are disgusting – I can’t find the words to describe them. These men must go to prison.’

Ms Wilson said the girl was ‘particularly vulnerable due to her personal circumstances’, adding: ‘She was young and naive and vulnerable and unconscious.

‘We have a sociable, outgoing 15-year-old who’s cut off from friends, cannot leave her house, impacting her schoolwork and feels unable to go to counselling.


‘It may be thought that that’s beyond the normal level of psychological harm.’

Ms Wilson told how both defendants took advantage of an unconscious girl’.

William Pope, defending Raji, asked for his previous good character to be taken into account.

The defence lawyer pointed to Raji’s evidence suggesting the girls the pair met said they were aged over 18, with Mr Pope adding: ‘He thinks he had a one-night stand.’

Judge David Richards said it should have been obvious the girls were underage from their behaviour, saying: ‘The whole tenor of that group is of schoolgirls’.

Defending Akinsanya, Anne Faul described him as ‘a lost soul, somewhat vulnerable’.

She also told the court he was partially paralysed from an attack, meaning prison life was more difficult for him.

Sentencing, Judge Richards said of the victim: ‘She’s lost her self-confidence. She can no longer go out. She will live with this for the rest of her life.’

He told the two culprits: ‘The fact that you two abused her one after the other clearly aggravates the matter. The victim was harmed for a long time.

‘Alcohol was used to render her vulnerable, the effect of the alcohol was exploited by both of you. Whilst incapable, she was raped by both of you.’

BREAKING: Hundreds Of Boko Haram, ISWAP Terrorists Hold Eid Prayer In Lake Chad Region Of Borno After Maiduguri Bombings

Hundreds of Boko Haram fighters and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been captured in a footage gathering in large numbers to observe Eid prayers in Borno State, brandishing assault rifles and other sophisticated weapons in a brazen show of force.

Eid, a major Islamic festival observed after the holy month of Ramadan, a period marked by fasting, prayer and spiritual reflection by Muslims worldwide, is traditionally a time of peace, charity and communal worship.

However, the emergence of heavily armed insurgents conducting such prayers in an open field underscores growing concerns over insecurity in Nigeria’s North-East.

In a series of multimedia clips released by propaganda platform AZ-ZALLAQA, on Saturday, a large number of terrorists were seen lined up in formation, observing prayers in congregation while clutching AK-47 rifles and other high-grade weapons.

The footage shows the insurgents occupying what appeared to be an Eid prayer ground in Borno, a state that has remained the epicentre of insurgency in Nigeria for over a decade.

The display has sparked outrage and fear among residents and security analysts, who say the development raises fresh questions about the operational strength of the terror groups and the effectiveness of ongoing military operations in the region.

Boko Haram and ISWAP have long terrorised communities across Borno and neighbouring states, carrying out deadly attacks, mass abductions, and displacing millions of civilians.

Despite repeated claims by the Nigerian government and military that the insurgents have been “technically defeated,” incidents like this continue to challenge that narrative.

The recent bombings in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State occurred on the evening of March 16, and represent one of the deadliest attacks in the city in recent years.

Multiple explosions struck crowded civilian locations, including the entrance of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, the Monday Market, and a central post office.

The blasts happened during a busy period around sunset, when many residents were breaking their Ramadan fast or returning home, which contributed to the high number of casualties.

Casualty figures varied in the immediate aftermath, but reports indicate that at least 26 people were killed and over 100 others injured, with some later estimates placing the death toll even higher.

Hospitals in the city were overwhelmed as emergency responders rushed victims for treatment, and eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes with many wounded lying on the ground awaiting help.

The scale of the injuries and fatalities underscored the devastating impact of the coordinated attacks on civilians.

The nature of the attacks—believed to be carried out by suicide bombers targeting crowded public areas—fits the pattern of previous insurgent operations in the region.
