God1000: Although official figures remain unclear, the strikes reportedly inflicted undetermined numbers of deaths and injuries among Venezuelan civilians and military personnel.
truthera: The Take It Back Movement (TIB) acknowledges reports of recent military action conducted by the United States against ISIS-affiliated elements operating within Nigeria.
We recognize the grave threat posed by terrorist groups whose activities continue to claim innocent lives and destabilize communities across the country. While we support genuine efforts to end terrorism in Nigeria, it is important to note that we do not welcome bombing of our country by a foreign power done in the guise of fighting terrorism. We have seen the result of US led interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and witnessed the devastating outcome. But we hold the government of Bola Tinubu fully accountable for inability to defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity from internal insurgents (Terrorists, bandits), and foreign aggressors, Donald Trump!
Last year, the EndBadGovernance protest called on the Tinubu government to end terrorism in the country. But the government responded with arrogance, and with brute force. Reports documented over 40 deaths, and 2000 arrests nationwide. Children were jailed for 30 days, and were to be tried for treason, a capital offense. Court recently dismissed a treason charge against 11 activists that were jailed for several weeks for participating in the protest. The Tinubu government violently dismissed genuine public concerns on escalating poverty, and insecurity in the country. That Nigerians are unfortunately cheering the ongoing violation of our national sovereignty is a vote of no confidence on the government of Tinubu.
Even the constitution of our country, despite its limitations, some of which we have always pointed out, acknowledges that security, and welfare shall be primary purpose of government. But the Tinubu government clearly lacks capacity to deliver on this objective. Sovereignty belongs to the people from which the government derives power. The Tinubu government have also displayed utter lack of capacity to defend the sovereignty of the Nigerian people. There is no reason to keep the government of Tinubu in power. He must go!
Op be guided!! If Tinibu must go now on account of self infested political - social terrorism by unscrupulous elements in the Nigerian state, them be sure the end of the contraption is at sight.
Ezeama400: In an interview with Peoples Gazette on Friday, Mr Baba-Ahmed said the U.S military action on Nigerian soil undermines the country’s sovereignty and right to defend itself.
“Now our country’s right to defend itself has been handed over by our leadership to the U.S.,” said the politician. “Our military assets sworn to protect and defend us have been further diminished by the action of the US. They will be right if they feel humiliated.”
U.S. President Donald Trump, on Thursday, announced on his social media pages that the American military carried out a series of airstrikes against terrorist targets in the North-Western state. Hours after, the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement confirming the operation.
Mr Baba-Ahmed described the airstrikes as a gross violation of Nigeria’s sovereignty, accusing the U.S. government of pursuing a hidden agenda while dividing the country along religious lines.
“The real issue is not where, within the territory of Nigeria the US assault landed. What is important is that our sovereignty, dignity and rights have been violated by an external interest which claims it is acting in the interest of the Nigerian Christian community.
“The US has been consistent in trying to deepen our religious divisions. It has threatened to attack us instead of assisting us to deal with a problem which only Nigerians can,” he explained.
While noting that the U.S. could not win the war against terrorism in the country, the politician decried the Nigerian government’s failure to handle the situation, adding foreign intervention would only make the country vulnerable to colonialism.
“The U.S. does not have a foot in our door. It has the whole room. How do we say to the US, go home, we can handle our problems, henceforth?
“U.S. itself knows it cannot win this war against our killers. Only Nigerians will do this. And we must show greater resolve to do this, or we will continue to do the bidding of countries like the US. This will make us double victims: of killers all over the country, and powerful countries interested in a weakened Nigeria they can colonize,” Mr Baba-Ahmed stated.
Meanwhile, Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi condemned the bombing as a war against Islam.
“The attacks are symbolic of a harbinger (of a) neo-Crusade war against Islam. Attack on Sokoto, where 90% are Muslim with no imminent danger of terror, while the real threat is in Maiduguri and on a Christmas Eve, with the claim of protecting against Christian genocide, says a lot,” Mr Gumi said on Friday.

now truly believe that God neither sleep nor slumber. For years we all cried and weeped endlessly over the massacre in our land. Behold, heaven listen and a redeemer was send forward.
RIP to our departed brother. However, how a can a middle level officer of DSP with over 33 years in service be assigned such a role meatnt for junior staff?
It's really disheartening and disturbing that a Senator of the Federal Republic of Oshomole caliba don't know the agency of FG saddle with the issuance of refinery license.
malali: The money was spend 6 years ago calm down 1$ was 350 naira when the children went to school.
Thank you for setting the record straight!! AAD is simply malicious, the educational expenditures predates his current appointment. Moreover he is an accomplished player in the Oil and Gas sectors.
prinsam30: Good move let them go and explain their selves , how can one person spend 5million dull ontop of 4 kids in secondary school , that's about 1.5billion naira oh my God, me I dey here dey hussle how to pay my kids school fees of 150k naira na wa oooo
My brother the NMDPRA boss investment in his children education predate ihis appointment in 2021. In my candid opinions, perhaps the NMDPRA refused to capitulate to AAD!!
kokoA: Hear talk o, Man invested 25 BILLION DOLLARS not naira and you expect him to sit down quietly and watch some bunch of greedy people bring his investment down. Some time you need to fight dirty to be man. If e reach your turn no go low.
Besides his homogois investment, the Nigerian state also sacrificed greatly for him. From unfiltered access to the greenberg and unbridled wavier for key regulatory approval and milestones from the defunt DPR and it's successors NMDPRA.
dfrost: For AD to name names, he has receipts 🧾 already. $5m is huge for school fees nah. Haba?
It's pretty obvious Dangote is hell bend on stamping his monopolistic footprint in the downstream value chain!! What a baseless alligation and personal attack. This turn of whining and cry must be because his monopolistic imprints were being tame owning to the free market economy position imposed by the PIA, 2021. Thiat is the position of the law as it stand. If he so wishes, he can use his resources to lobby the National Assembly, to ammend the PIA, to ban importation of Petroleum products.
alezzy13: Nice article, but I think they did not anticipate characters like the FCT minister who may not always heed advice. Hence for me, security details should be able to directly challenge and refuse orders from politically exposed pers when needed
For instance I read that in the US, the SS can override the instructions of the president when such actions can prevent imminent danger to his life.
So in this case, that the security details allowed him proceed to the disputed venue is bad enough, but as things began to escalate and tempers flare, it was expected they immediately - physically, if need be - remove him from that environment.
So you want to physically remove a personality like Wike against his volation!!
owobokiri: Why would China or Russia help you? You have had almost a century to build up your defences as an independent nation,but you choose to throw money in the air on frivolous activities while others like the Chinese built up their country.
You have always aligned with the west and basically sold your oil and gas assets to western multinationals for free. You enrich the west economically and stand with them diplomatically too. Then when the same west turn and want to swallow you, you expect the Chinese to rush to your aid?
The Chinese and the Russians are with the Venezuelans, the Iranians, the Syrians and others because those countries also factor the Chinese or Russian positions on global issues before taking a stand. That's the way it works. You can't work for Asari Dokuboh and be demanding for salaries from Abubakar Shekau
Please and please, the United States of America is not attacking Nigeria as country, rather is focus on obliterating terrorists killing Nigerians.
owobokiri: New U.S. bill seeks visa bans, asset freezes for Nigerian Miyetti Allah, Fulani Militias Glory to God Almighty, in the fullness of time and at his appointed season all hidden secrets shall be expose. By this development, all the patron and board of trustee of these organizations will be impacted.
Why are Abịa and Ebonyi in southeast but CrossRivers is in southsouth?
You see, if we were to go by the cardinal point, Benue, Taraba, Igala Land and Cross River State ought to South East As you all know, everything about Nigeria is lies and misinterpretation of universal facts on the alter of political gerrymandering.
callthefred: See another own goal now by PDP. Federal High court stopped the convention, they now went to secure an order in Oyo state high court .. state high courts are just stooges to governors.
Sorry man, both court had coordinate jurisdiction.
Ttalk: The news is not genuine as the story from the original link failed to state the day it occured.
There's no recognized journalist that I'll write such article without stating the basic fact.
Wherever or whoever fabricate this story will experience it
Please Mr man, this is a legit news. The massacre took yesterday 4/10/25 morning just few minutes drive from Ogobia and Ogoli in Ugboju - Oturkpo L.G..A
sreamsense: Is it today ipob fabricated sponsor of fake newspaper post to stir public and later denied to be fake? Post the online video from reputable camera men of television stations bringing us live or recorded video we can verify to see. Ipob can fake anything and sponsor any false narrative on national paper, only to be debunked some days later
May the Almighty God wrath decend on you for denying the massacre that took place in Ohimini.

Oga comedian, I hope you are not on crack. For you information, if a survey is to be conducted among the Nigeria military personnel today, I am pretty sure 100% respondant will support the US intervention. Perhaps, any opposing personnel I a likely terrorists allia.
