Scary times to be living in Europe & USA.

You could just be going about your business and someone just decides to OFF you.

A US president missed an assassination attempt by inches, in broad daylight.

Security in the west are overhyped. Even Nigeria is better.

ogaemma:
Another election campaign.
Nigerians are too gullible.
Why not ask what happened to the Ogoni clean up project?
APC is a fraudulent party.
The Ogoni clean up was for Buhari and Osibanjo to cash out.
Tinubu have long promised to continue from where Buhari stopped.
Ogoni clean up is now an ATM for APC President.

madridguy:
Even though I seriously want to Tinubu to review his economic policies, the set of people listed by the coalition team are not match with Tinubu.

Pharaoh4rin:
Tinubu have not set one good example of a leader.
Tinubu is a criminal
He's a deceit
He's corrupt
He perverst constitu
He's a thug
He's a nepotistic
He's good at every bad thing he does.

AMINDA:
I see some of them jubilating the purported decamping of Kwankwaso to APC and I laugh. After the treatment of Elrufai, any influential northern politician striking a deal with Tinubu will do so with great suspicion and use a very long spoon. Tinubu will struggle to find a northern loyalist that can sell him in the North without being mocked, because the treatment of Elrufai will always be referenced. Betrayals have consequences and they should be honour even amongst thieves.

AMINDA:
Is he? Have you seen the video of Uba Sani being booed at his polling unit during the local government elections in Kaduna some months ago? Uba Sani is grossly unpopular and propaganda cannot save him. I think the President has made a strategic mistake.

Northern politics starts from Kaduna and extends upwards. When a Southerner betray northern politicians like Elrufai, you are playing high stake and historic games equivalent to the Sardauna, MKO Abiola and Nnamdi Azikiwe eras. It will be documented for the history books and Northerners will remember.

AMINDA:
Clearly you have never been to Kaduna. Elrufai still remains arguably the best governor Kaduna has ever had in terms of infrastructure, reforms, IGR and attraction of investments. Make una dey sometimes leave social media and go outside to touch grass.

I know it has become a cliché for everyone to mouth off "southern Kaduna" but it is an established fact that Kaduna has always had that issue long before Elrufai ever dreamt of governing it. From the Zangon Kataf, to the Miss World debacle and several other historic skirmishes. Killings still persists on the low in Southern Kaduna today but the media is under-reporting for whatever reason.

Like I said, you sound very reasonable and sensible too....this is the only reason I don't really take the anti-Igbo politics played by most Yorubas serious outside the internet because I know there are still honest, sensible Yorubas who have conscience against all odds.


But if we are to analyze the persecution and hatred especially in national politics amongst the 3 major tribes of Nigeria, Yorubas have done so much evil against Igbos than any other and why it hurts more than what the North does to Igbos is the fact that Yorubas are very enlightened and exposed, meaning whatever action they have been taking is based on their personal conviction unlike the Northerners who are not that enlightened and exposed but being misled by religious brainwashing and whatnot.


Tell me in all fairness, was it justified for any Yoruba man or woman to come out to contest 2023 Presidential election zoned to the South when Yorubas had MKO Abiola in 1993, Obasanjo in 1999 to pacify them for MKO Abiola's saga in 1993, Obasanjo again from 2003 to 2007, and Osinbajo as VP from 2015 to 2023 and Yorubas still believed it was right for Tinubu to take over in 2023 and turned around to call Igbos tribalist for supporting Peter Obi massively in 2023, something Igbos have never done since the history of Nigeria?

Go all over Nigeria, the only tribe that proudly and arrogantly say "An Igbo Man will never rule Nigeria" are the Yorubas, not even the Hausas nor the Fulanis, only the Yorubas say this out boldly and with joy and gladness in their hearts and you still believe its nice and cool and Igbos ought to take it lightly?


Now let me clear you on some facts.

Igbos are the only tribe that have never showed serious interest in producing President of Nigeria since the end of civil war in 1970....Igbos lost interest in national politics and focused squarely on their individual businesses and progress. But Yorubas' continuous taunting of Igbos saying an Igbo man will never rule Nigeria became more of an insult....secondly, Buhari's regime widened the existing tribal-religious differences that existed in Nigeria which we had been managing and coexisting like all is well....Buhari made it worst and made Igbos realize that they had been making a mistake not taking national politics serious as Buhari seized every opportunity he had as President to ridicule Igbos and destabilize Southeast completely and turned once most peaceful region to one of the regions ravaged by insecurity.


Buhari did all these with full Yoruba people's backing just because they wanted to use Buhari as a ladder for Tinubu to climb to Presidential power...they cheered Buhari on in his evil ways and supported every terrible and action Buhari took for good 8 years....all these made Southeast to become more conscious of federal politics plus the issue of IPOB, Igbos hoped that an Igbo person becoming President will pacify Igbo youths agitating for Biafra based on decades of marginalization of Igbos by past Nigerian leaders....so Igbos then saw 2023 as an opportunity to lay Biafra agitation to rest once Igbo man emerges President.....Igbo youths will have no other reason to cry of marginalization or agitate for Biafra......that was why Igbos took 2023 Presidential election serious....and secondly because of Peter Obi's personality which Igbos believed would govern Nigeria with fairness, justice, equity and zero tolerance to corruption and looting.



Those were some of the reasons Igbos became much interested in producing the President....we believed that it was time for Igbos to govern Nigeria and lay the events of the 1966 to 1970 to eternal rest and move on together as truly one united nation devoid of injustice and marginalization of any section of Nigeria. Nigeria missed a golden opportunity in 2023.....God presented Nigeria and Nigerians a great opportunity to rewrite the history of Nigeria and put Nigeria on a path to greatness but out of our usual tribal-religious foolishness, we missed that opportunity and still think all is well.

franchasofficia:
You sound reasonable but you seem not be honest in your analysis, how you may ask and I will explain below.


If you can be very honest, when was the last time Igbo person came out to contest for President and got massive Igbo people's support?


In 1999, an Igbo man Alex Ekwueme formed a party PDP, hoping to use it to contest for President. He got convinced to forget the ambition, that Yorubas need to be pacified for MKO Abiola saga.


Another Igbo man, Ogbonnaya Onu who formed another popular party which later merged with another party and he too wanted to contest, he was told that it's Yoruba turn to pacify them for MKO Abiola saga, Ogbonnaya Onu swallowed his ambition and Olu Falae got the mandate while Obasanjo got PDP mandate.


Out of consideration of what happened to MKO Abiola, two Yorubas emerged Presidential candidates for both parties.


Igbos queued behind Obasanjo a Yoruba man and he won.


In 1993 during MKO Abiola vs Tofa Presidential election, Tofa a Northerner had an Igbo man Sylvester Ugo as his running mate while Abiola had Kingibe a Northerner as his running mate.


MKO Abiola won Anambra state and got more than 45% of total votes cast in the remaining 3 Igbo states of Imo, Enugu and Abia, go and check the result. Tofa won Abiola in the other 3 Igbo states with a very narrow escape. Meaning Igbos voted massively for Abiola despite the fact that an Igbo man was Tofa's running mate. It was also an Igbo man that damn the consequences under Military rule that told him to stop the election result collation and he refused and released the results that showed Abiola won, he didn't listen to the military government, he damned the consequences but still Yorubas turned around to lie that Igbos never voted for Abiola even when the results are clear for all to see, that's one.


The same Igbos voted for Obasanjo in 1999 and in 2003, Ikemba Ojukwu that Igbos so much cherished came out, Igbos shunned him and voted Obasanjo again. Every Nigerian condemned Igbos that Igbos don't like each other, that Igbos are not united that that's why they can't produce President that a whole Ojukwu came out and they couldn't vote for him and instead voted Obasanjo a Yoruba man.

2007 came, Yaradua came out, Rochas was on ballot, Chukwumereije was on ballot, Igbos voted Yaradua a Fulani man.

2011, Goodluck an Ijaw man came out, Igbos voted him.

2015 Goodluck came out again, Igbos voted him and he lost.


2019 Atiku a Fulani man came out, Igbos voted him and he lost to Buhari.

Every Nigerian kept saying 2023 is Igbo people turn that they are supposed to produce next President. As God have it, Peter Obi a very competent Igbo man emerged, Igbos massively supported him mostly because of his personality and secondly because Igbos believed it was time for other Nigerians to support and back an Igbo man for President.


What happened? Yorubas turned around to tag Peter Obi an Igbo and IPOB Presidential candidate that Igbos are tribalistic but same Igbos have been voting every other tribe including Yorubas happily since 1993 and they were not tribalistic, but this one time they came out to support a competent Igbo man, Igbos became tribalistic.



Now to dispute the fact that Yorubas voted Peter Obi. Yes some well meaning Yorubas voted for Peter Obi but Yorubas didn't give Peter Obi the deserved support they ought to have given him based on how Igbos have happily voted and voted for Yoruba candidates starting from MKO Abiola to Obasanjo. How you may ask?


Southeast has just 4 states in 1993, MKO Abiola won Anambra and the other 3 Southeast states MkO didn't win, MKO Abiola scored over 45% of total votes cast, meaning he got More than what he needed to win as President in the Southeast despite contesting against an Igbo running mate to Tofa.


In 2023, Peter Obi only won Lagos which is a cosmopolitan state comprising all Nigerians with massive Igbo population.


Peter Obi didn't even get 15% in Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun states the core Yoruba states. Meaning Yorubas rejected Peter Obi and voted Tinubu their son despite knowing that it was not supposed to be Yoruba turn after Yorubas got MKO Abiola, for Obasanjo twice, had Osinbajo that was just leaving office.


See, Igbos are the most detribalized tribe in Nigeria when it comes to politics if check Nigeria's voting pattern since 1993. But you guys made it look like Presidential election in Nigeria started in 2023.



Anyway, God alone knows the truth.


God alone will avenge and reward us according to our deeds.


Let's continue on the paths we have chosen, nature and God will do justice when the time is ripe. You guys will remember my warnings and messages here one day, let's pray it won't be too late, have a blessed day

franchasofficia:
lol

Our God is able.


He said he will put a sword of enmity among the sons of those that persecute us so that they will fight and slaughter themselves before our eyes.


You cannot continue to use federal politics of tribalism, religion, thuggery and killings to persecute and destabilize a particular region and believe that all will be well with your house and region forever, life does not work that way. Nature and God have a way of paying us back for all our evil ways here on earth even before the judgment day.



Yoruba men of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s were wise, they followed the path of peace and wisdom, avoided unnecessary gangup and religious extremism and Yoruba land witnessed peace and progress.


But Bola Tinubu came with his desperate style of politics that encourages dangerous tribalism, religious division, hatred, thuggery, killing, extreme voodooism and whatnot and Yoruba youths of our time followed him and thinking it is the best style of politics that will help them outsmart, outshine and outdo Igbos in Nigerian dirty politics, yes they are succeeding now as Tinubu managed to foist himself on Nigerians using Lagos state stolen treasury, but the future will tell, time will reveal if this dirty politics of extreme tribalism, religious division, paying of political idiots and sycophants like Reno Omockery, Wike and co will pay off.


Time will tell

Irony1:
I think you got this wrong. The post is about Niger and not Nigeria.

just2endowed:
The dude reign might soon be over. Once the islamist terrorist over ran Niger, the next thing to do is to render northern Nigeria useless and ungovernable since sharia is what the terrorist want. Probably the sokoto caliphate will fall and crumble. It's just a matter of time. The unrest and threat of these extremist in Niger Republic is a wake up call.

And I wonder why ecowas didn't use ecomog to fight this islamist in sahel and northern Nigeria?

No threaten Yorubas in your enclave location

Come to Oshodi, ikorodu, ikotun, Agege, iyanapaja

Come to Ado ekiti, ikere ekiti

Come to abk, ijebu Igbo, ijebu ode and threaten us if you won't see your back at the back of your head

Hello, the US fighters for resources. Same ISIS works for them. They use them in Syria. It’s just an excuse to milk the nation.

Please help direct some of those bombing to ISIS ISWAP and Boko Haram strong holds in Northern Nigeria. That should help keep the poke nosing Sultan busy for a while

DatNiggaDaz:


If foolishness is not your problem, you will know that their will be no one to beat the drums or celebrate the corrupt politicians if the fools you call leaders or efcc "shiaman" do their Jobs they are paid to do.

Go & use the brain Allah gave you

DatNiggaDaz:


This efcc "shiaman "is a big fool. How many of the corrupt politicians have you successfully prosecuted ?

He is now blaming Nigerians for his incompetence & failures

This fool & the other fool, the so called igp should be court jesters at the palace of the Emir of Illorin

Clowns from the parapo Clan

EnkayDezign:
My point exactly. ‘Woke’ as a term originated from the African-American community as code speak for being awake/aware of systemic racism in the US but ever since the Obama administration - which angered the white racists - they have hijacked that word to make it seem like it represents immortality or deviance. Now, they use it to target the largely black/minority communities which happen to be mostly liberal and democratic, politically.

As a good example; try asking - if you’re in America - any white person that uses that word to explain it to you. You’ll quickly find out that they will never give you a straight unemotional response because they either don’t know what it means or they just know that it has racial connotations and therefore have no qualms using it, especially when they’re angry.

EnkayDezign:
This is the reason African-Americans hate us Africans. How can you not understand that white supremacists and republicans are using the word ‘woke’ as a racial slur against black/minority people? And here you are repeating the same nonsense after being brainwashed by right wing fascist talking points.

WriteerNg:
US tested Nuclear weapons last year. Try to do your research before arguing.

Why does Russia need to attack NATO country? What do they have that Russia needs?

Does any NATO country have any mineral resources apart from Canada?

What land do NATO countries have? They have nothing. Finland and Latvia depended on Russian investors and tourists to survive.

Small lands, no resources, no strategic value. The only reason why the US added them to NATO is to have numbers when confronting Russia.

Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe after Russia. With more resources than the other NATO countries combined. Plus a strategic position in the Black Sea.

China & India & Iran & North Korea will fight for Russia. Don't delude yourself.

They understand that they'll be next to be targeted by NATO after Russia. Plus they all share a common hatred for the west.

What do you think all those strategic defense pact Russia signed with them last year are for?

Not all NATO countries will fight for the US. Many will declare neutrality as soon as the nukes start flying.

India hates the west more than Russia does. For dividing their country and colonizing them for decades. The west split their country and gave their mortal enemy Pakistan nukes.
