Gbam. That was a self-inflicted political miscalculation.

I still wonder what kind of political judgment made Peter Obi believe that Atiku Abubakar—a man who has pursued the presidency for decades and has never shown any inclination to step aside—would suddenly surrender his ambition.

Was it political desperation?

Or was it simply a serious misreading of Nigerian political reality?

The wiser course would have been to remain in the Labour Party, weather the internal storm, consolidate his support base, and spend the next four years building party structures from the ward level upward.

Instead, he abandoned the platform that gave him national relevance to join a coalition where another long-standing presidential aspirant was already firmly established.

Politics rewards patience and strategic calculation—not wishful thinking.

You are 100% right. Peter Obi is not a man to be trusted as President. Our ancestors believe that a young man or lady who jumps from one marriage to different marriages because of one problem or another should not be taken seriously. In this life, there will always be a problem...what really matters at the end is how you manage the problem and blaze the trail despite all odds.

Peter obi shouldn't be speaking to media after too much intake of tramadol

Like they did with PMB, this is what some wicked people are packaging to give us as president. May God not let it work for us. From GEJ who was obviously moving with the right steps, PMB took us like 20 years backwards...He was packaged for us and many people never saw it or they just chose to be blind for their selfish reasons. Now, Peter Obi (the man who obviously don't know what he is doing) is being packaged for us again...they just want us to embrace him anyhow. As for me and my family, we refuse to fall into the trap. I am not a politician, I know when a system is working and when it is not. This current administration is doing well, though it may be though for us now, I believe we will get to our promised land very soon. God bless Nigeria 🙏.

Come on! Gentleman, if leaving these political parties is the best solution for you, how do you intend to unite Nigeria as you claim. Don't you know that the Nigeria that you are so much passionate and desperate to rule is critically on fire too? Will you also rule the country by relocating to Biafra?

John Haruna was a Christian from Taraba state and Philemon Leha was a Christian officer from Adamawa State.

Did he actually say this?

We have maintained, this man should not be allowed near the mic. But his public media handlers will not listen.

They are doing him more damage and harms by allowing him to grants interviews without written scripts.

US Begins Crack Down on Yahoo Boys, Online Sc+mmers as Trump Places Visa Ban on Fra¥dsters and Their Families.


The United States has unveiled a sweeping new visa restriction policy targeting fra¥dsters, cybercriminals, romance sc+mmers and s+xt@rtionists who prey on Americans, with the sanctions also extending to their immediate family members.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the global policy on Thursday under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

“This policy targets individuals responsible for, or complicit in, cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime, such as those involved in cybersc+ms and s+xt@rtion,” Rubio said.

He added, “By restricting visa issuance to those who are responsible for or complicit in these criminal enterprises, we are sending a clear message: The United States will go after those who prey on our citizens.”

Rubio disclosed that the visa restrictions could also apply to close relatives of those involved in online fra¥d.
“Immediate family members of individuals engaged in such illicit activities may also be subjected to visa restrictions,” he said.

He stressed that the Trump administration was deploying every available tool to dismantle global sc+m networks.
“The Trump Administration is deploying every tool at our disposal, sanctions, prosecutions, asset seizures, extradition requests, and international law enforcement cooperation, to dismantle criminal sc+m networks and impose costs on those who enable them,” Rubio stated.
According to him, many of the criminal operations are “often orchestrated by Chinese transnational criminal organisations,” which defra¥ded U.S. citizens of at least $10 billion in 2024 while fueling corruption, money laundering and human trafficking.

Rubio also referenced President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14390 on combating cybercrime and online fra¥d, saying the administration is taking decisive action against investment sc+ms and s+xt@rtion schemes.

“American children have also been specifically targeted by offenders operating overseas for s+xt@rtion sc+ms, devastating families and futures,” he added.

The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has declared that he is the first governor in Nigeria’s history to serve for 8 years without owning a personal house.

The former Osun State governor, who was once a close ally of President Tinubu, said he lived in a friend’s house throughout his tenure in office.

Speaking in a video shared with his supporters, Aregbesola said:
“I’m the first governor in Nigeria to rule a state for eight years without owning a house of my own.

He added, “I stayed in my friend’s house for 8 years as a governor in my father’s land. Whoever says that what I’m saying is not true should come out & show me the house I own.”

He also served as Minister of Interior under former President Muhammadu Buhari, governed Osun State from 2010 to 2018.

Reflecting on his administration, he said his government was focused on banishing poverty, hunger & unemployment, restoring healthy living, promoting functional education, and enhancing communal peace and progress.

Dey play...continue.

This is not a significant drop. Why is it in the news? I'm suspecting this is strongly coming from the Obidient Media Platform (OMP).

What a day light robbery! Haba! How can you contribute 79.27B and received 230B? In a nutshell, you're just receiving 300% higher while your contribution is low. South East and North East are not adding anything to the FG. This is crazy!

Ok, there was once an OP who told us of a unique ability she has; she have a canny ability to see the colour of human spiritual aura..

Sh could see around us colours that tend to explain how pure t heart we are..we were wowed.

Sh engaged us till about page 2 before she left..it's was an explosive exposure..

I was thinking it should be something like.that..u know , people would want to know more about this ability of URS...

That's what exactly I meant

Now, I think I understand where you are coming from. I got engaged with something else shortly after posting here...Well, you can do more research on certain aspects that you need clarifications. The post is just to sensitize people that perceiving cancer odour could be a panacea to early detection. While some people see this thread as useless and bullshit, I'm happy that some other people can still make some sense out of it.

bigpicture001:
I so dislike it when an OP drops a bomb ND then dissappeared without trying to engage na ND educate more or expanciate further...


Where is this OP?

Here I am. But, mind you, I don't live here. I may not be here to respond to all messages because I have a life outside Niraland. However, a word is enough for the wise. I want to believe that those who actually needed to make use of the information have actually got it clearly. You don't really need to ask me more questions if sincerely you are serious about making use of the information. Thanks so much for understanding.

A woman trusted her loyal dog completely, so much so that she would leave her baby with him and go out for a quick run. She would always return to find the child fast asleep with the dog. One day, something tragic happened.

As always, the woman left the baby in the hands of this faithful dog and went shopping.

When she returned, she discovered a horrific scene; it was a complete mess. The baby was missing from his crib, his diaper and clothes were in pieces, and there were bloodstains all over the bedroom. In shock, the frightened woman began searching for the baby. Suddenly, she saw her faithful dog emerge from under the bed, covered in blood, licking his mouth as if he had just finished a delicious meal.

The woman was convinced the dog had eaten her baby. Without thinking twice, she beat the dog to death with a machete. Then she continued her search, hoping to find at least some part of her child's body. Soon she came across another scene. Behind the bed lay the well-formed baby, naked and playing on the rug. Under the bed, the woman discovered the body of a snake that had been torn apart. It had been a fierce battle between the snake and the dog. The dog had fought to protect the baby from the ravenous serpent. It was too late for her to make amends now because, in her impatience and anger, she had killed the faithful dog.

How often do we judge people with harsh words and spread lies about them before we have time to assess the situation?

"Always be patient in understanding the situation and avoid making unconditional mistakes that could bring us down."

Absolutely, it does. I remember when I first caught its smell at the young age of a teenager. My grandmother was having a fight with breast cancer back then. The smell has quite an unusual and distinct one.

Several years later, a friend of mine smelled similar to that one. I even thought about mentioning it to her. In case if I would be right, then I can possibly save her life. But in case if I will make a mistake, it can cost her unnecessary worry and expense. I told her what I smelt out there. And, guess what? She had cancer. During all these years of my experience, I keep meeting that smell. The problem arises when those unknown persons smell it.

Well, I know nothing about them, and they know nothing about me. I run into them in shops or cafes, smell it, and ask them to stop. Some of them listen to me, others just ignore. In case when some of those are listening to me, I was always right about 100%. As for ignoring cases, I’ve done my job and leave quietly.

If you know anyone living with cancer, try to be observant and take your time to notice the smell.

If anyone tries this with me...well, I don't do loans. It is not my thing.

How was the agency's bank account approved by the CBN? Who registered the agency under CAC? Too many questions are left to be answered...is this how vulnerable our system is? Hmmmm...we still have a long way to go.

I know that the Obidients will never like this thread

Why did he have to run to VeryDarkMan for damage control? He is just being anxious because his conscience is troubling him. The guy dubious case really needs to be probed and investigated.

MamaFryo:
@OP, May God bless you for sharing our joy. I have a close friend whose daughter was among the children kidnapped and I have never for once posted about those children because I understand that making genuine difference is not by helping terrorists achieve their aims. I shed tears of joy yesterday when I was speaking with my friend on phone, she cried deeply too. May God bless Nigeria.


Wetin I even know sef? I am just an ordinary Nigerian Policewoman.

I have always said that majority of those who were sharing pathetic contents about the kidnapped children on social media and promoting different contents that criticised the government for being careless about the issue of insecurity in the country are the Obidients. They were not spreading the news out of the love for the children or concern to see them being rescued but they were only doing it for their selfish reasons to show that their political candidate is the best option and nothing more.

No concerned parents would join them to do those nonsense. At a point it felt as if they were more concerned than the parents of the victims. In fact, I had an Obidient friend who would post on her status every day and called to ask why I did not feel bothered about the kidnapped children. Now, she has stopped posting, she is now asking questions...why is one of the teachers holding an expensive phone? Why are the children not on school uniform? Who was washing their clothes? Did they even brush their teeth? How would the female teachers take care of their mensural flow...? Why should the teachers be compelled to praise the president for their rescue? Bla bla bla.

You can never imagine the level of bitterness in that camp until you get inside. What you’re seeing from the outside is nothing compared to the real deal.

What has that got to do with the kidnap of the school children? In case you don't know, your ambition to become a president is not in anyway a threat to the incumbent president. You should be more concerned about who you will hand over to in the next administration because if care is not taken, you may lose in both ways. You know what I mean? Sincerely, I keep telling the people that are closer to me that I am impressed with the way Seyi Makinde transformed Oyo state and raise the state's IGR but his political steps are not well coordinated. He needs to take his time and reflect, get good counsel before moving further...he is obviously missing something along the way. The lines are not just connecting for him but he is just struggling to catch up in the middle of nowhere.

yarimo:
I said it earlier, peter obi is just looking for media attention by fire by force.

You can test the value of a man from the way he treats and relates with the people around him, especially those who are not as privileged as he is. He really has to go and apologize to the Airport staff and pay his fine accordingly. I know he must be busy preparing his speech on the Oyo school students and teachers recently rescued from their abductors; using it as a way to discredit the government and lure his loyalist to follow him blindly. Obidient data boys, please don't quote me or else you will get arrested by DSS .

A whole self acclaimed "digital monarch" that can't have a website or domain name? Why use Gmail instead of your customised domain name? Why can't you even send this message electronically?

The guy truly deserves more...many Nigerian universities are just like this.

Exactly. There are several students going through the same horrible experience but they are not bold and persistent enough to fight for their right.

Good thinking! More registered businesses, broader tax net, more money for the government.

people must know the truth

I don't blame you. I blame Niraland for allowing you to keep spreading these useless and manipulated questions. In fact you must be very funny to believe all these rubbish.

Yahoo Boys Stole The ₦7.2 Million Meant for a Judge’s Child’s School Fees From Her Account.

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, has raised concerns over the growing threat of internet fraud, popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo, recounting how fraudsters emptied ₦7.2 million from the bank account of a serving judge in the middle of the night.

Olukoyede shared the incident while speaking at the public presentation of two books authored by retired High Court judge, Justice Alaba Omolaye-Ajileye. According to him, he was awakened around 1 a.m. by a distress call from a serving judge in one of the South-South states, who had just fallen victim to cyber crminals.

He explained that the judge said she had been saving the money for six years to pay her child’s school fees. She was alerted by multiple debit notifications that came in around midnight, and before she could stop the transactions, about ₦7.2 million had been withdrawn from her account.

Olukoyede revealed that the incident occurred in the same state where a court had earlier restrained the EFCC from investigating certain financial cr+mes. He recalled telling the judge that there was already an injunction limiting the commission’s activities in the state. However, the judge reportedly insisted that her case was an exception and urged the EFCC to act immediately.

The EFCC chairman said the commission swung into action and successfully recovered the entire ₦7.2 million before 6 p.m. the same day. He added that experiencing such a cr+me firsthand changes people’s perception of the importance of the EFCC’s work, expressing confidence that anyone who becomes a victim would better appreciate the need for the commission to carry out its responsibilities without unnecessary restrictions.

He stressed that tackling financial cr+mes requires the collective efforts of law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, government institutions, and ordinary Nigerians. According to him, only through collaboration can the country overcome the menace of cybercrime, expressing confidence that Nigeria can successfully defeat the challenge.

This is very pathetic and at the same time funny. So, if the judge wasn't a victim of cyber crime, the issue of cyber crime would just have been swept under the carpet. Na waaaa o.

When I said Alhaji Dubai is very shameless, are you seeing it now? He sold NITEL to his cronies who eventually ran NITEL aground within months. Worst part is the fact that Alhaji Dubai sacked all NITEL workers without giving them benefits, most kpai in agony and poverty. This same Alhaji is now criticising the government that is paying the longterm pension arrears and trying to contest against them.

Is that not shamelessness?

Which research buttresses this? Dr Abasii should explain to us.

This is common to all political candidates, Peter Obi did the same while in APGA and PDP, but it is wrong in any form. I Say No To Vote Buying!
