The Nigeria military, police and Dss must step up the game

Islie:
While retreating, the ISWAP terrorists burned two trucks belonging to the Borno State Ministry of Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, and Resettlement and killed four labourers.

The theatre commander must be dismissed.
This is unacceptable.
The embarrassment he had caused to the Nigeria forces since he took over shows incompetence.
QED

Flangelo12:
Kanu is saying doctors don't know medicine.

He even talk say Senior Advocates too no sabi law reach?

He go soon hear am!

In the coming weeks, the truth will come out

Start speaking in tongues first
Then call the pastor and the prayer warriors.
Allow the spirit of God to take over the rest

Mattswaggz:
So which growth is Nigeria experiencing now?.

Nigeria, through Dangote is reshaping trade route for refined petroleum product.
This is always huge growth.
Jet fuel and petrol chemicals needed by most industries in the world will be sourced in Nigeria

I must add, that senator Ted Cruz is a US senator that chairs the subcommittee on critical minerals! Yes the same person spearheading the narratives.

What does Trump really want?
We all know it not an issue about Christian killing, there is a sinister motive!
Before I progress let me state here that i believe there are killings in Nigeria both Christian and non Christians but majority of killings are ethnic and politically motivated.
Now what does Trump want and Tinubu denied him
1- Accepting US deportees ( third party deportee) these are non Nigerian including the vicious Venezuelan gangs and criminals from other countries. Tinubu said no. Nigeria is not a dumping ground we have our own problem.

2- Strategic deals on critical minerals:
They want the rare earth metal on Nigeria soils. Elon musk want to extract and ship to America but Tinubu said no, it must be processed in Nigeria. They have to set up factory in Nigeria. Elon left and the Chinese came in.

3- Military base in Nigeria: the Americans what a military base in Nigeria. Tinubu said no, we are a sovereign nation, no foreign military on our land.

4- BRICS : Tinubu soaring relationship with BRICS is giving Trump a sleepless night. Nigeria is forging new alliances with improving economic outlook

Trump actions so far
1- Visa policy change : Imposed tougher rules, 3month visa for most Nigerians. Because Ghana accepted this deportees, their visa rules was reversed.

2- imposition of Tariffs: although this measure is to other countries. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Nigeria .

Final Punch: My Perspective
This is basically a coercive war. Trump couldn't get Tinubu to bow to his demand and has now resort to underground tactics.
This is not not about Christian killings, if it is
1- why offer Nigeria dangerous deportees in the first place.
2- Have Nigeria been offered intelligence and they refused?
3- is there any intelligence that shows the Tinubu has been complicit in the killings?
Some of what Trump is “pushing forr" is part of broader U.S. policy under his administration, to enrich America and make other nations subservient.
Tinubu is pushing back strongly, citing national interest, sovereignty, and internal challenges.
The recent 15% tariff imposition on imported petroleum is the straw that broke the carmels back. It makes it is making us self sufficient.
For Nigerians that does not know, the crime rate and killings in America far exceeds that of Nigeria, even in terms of corruption, it is "child's play" in Nigeria compared to America.
Trump knows that US army cannot step foot on a state in America despite the horrific killings on weekly basis. FBI report that 270- 300 murders are committed weekly in the United States, yet is he interested to step foot on Nigeria.
This is simply an economic war on Nigeria and all Nigerians should be discerning.

Kingosytex:
Are christians being slaughtered?

Verdict: Yes, the christians in Southern Kaduna and the Middle Belt are being slaughtered in mass numbers and their ancestral lands taken from them by the marauding herdsmen and other militias. The christians in some parts of the East are also being slaughtered by their own kinsmen masquerading as freedom fighters.

Are people of other faiths being slaughtered as well?

Verdict: Yes, the bandits and Boko Haram are slaughtering people in parts of Borno and Zamfara, mosques are being razed and scores killed.


Are the killings religious or political?

Verdict: Both. While those in the Southern Kaduna and the Middle Belt are religiously motivated, same can't be said about those in the East as it's main purpose is political. There is an ethnic cleansing in the MB, the Fulanis through some powers that be are trying to takeover people's ancestral lands and they are succeeding. The ESN on the other hand are using the arms that they're supposedly used to liberate their people to terrorise, kidnap, and kill the same people they claim to be fighting for.

Is the government doing enough to stop these killers?

Verdict: No, the government isn't doing enough. It's politicized. Tinubu once called GEJ all sorts of unprintable names for the latter's unable to curb the menace.

Will the US invading Nigeria solve the problem?

Verdict: No, it will not solve the problem. Syria, Afghanistan, Libya etc are case studies.

Quite an objective eyes and mind on the issue

Broveens42:
You can't eat your cake and have it.
Africans have allowed themselves to be used simply because they can't think for themselves and their generations to come.

Why would an African nation invade another African nation to kidnap an African with a British passport, just for talking?

Don't limit yourself to ethnic politics.
I wish you can boarden your understanding.
Anybody that commits are crime against the United state will be hunted down no matter where he or she goes on the planet.
If anyone advocate for killing of another or spread hated such person need to be arrested and persecuted.

LagosOrigin:
Let trump intervene and put a stop to the senseless killing in the country.

You're asking that what is Trump's motive in this, please i want to ask, what is the APC government motive for allowing this genocide to go on for too long? If the APC government can't stop the killings, then let trump help us stop the killings in whatever ways he consider necessary to stop the senseless killings.

Let's not be naive.
Americans don't do anything for nothing
Even on the Ukraine- Russian war, they ensured they signed to exploit Ukraine rare mineral before they agreed to even negotiate with Putin.
For Isreal - Iran war they wanted glory and recognition in the international community.
Same with Isreal - Hamas.

The question is the same America where they are killings of over 300 people weekly is concerned about Nigeria.
What do they want? Or rather what are we not giving them?
Trump is a negotiator and interest is always overlay

Truth be told
I think President Trump has sinster motives.

Yes they are killings in Nigeria but it is not religious.
I think the motive is far deeper. Americans has had government shutdown for 31days now yet the President of America is more interested in Nigeria.
In most cities in America at least 5-12 people are shot and killed every week, infact recent data shows that homicide rate in united state of America is 270 to 300 weekly! (1 person every 31mintes) yet President Trump is more interested in Nigeria killings.

The question is what does the President Trump want from Nigeria?
The same America that collaborated with NATO and claimed Gaddafi is a "dictator" and they invaded Libya at the time the country was growing exponentially in human and capital development. Today Libya is in ruins. They stole from Libya and destroy the country.
The former Chief of Defence, General Chris Musa, once asked who are the sponsors of this terrorist in Nigeria? The answer came from a United States senator that reveals it was USAID of America funding boko haram and the same Trump has been silent

Freetech:
Now it's very sure this was paid to do dirty job for Atiku and Obi against Reno.

Or

Why bring his private life to politics.

He worked with Reno when they were both eating from Atiku plate, so he's now spilling all the info he knows about Reno

I couldn't agree more
When I hear the news coming from US, I feel sorry for them.
But some devious politicians in this country are always quick to engage them in their smear campaign.

If they could do what they did to Donald Trump then, they are worse off than we in Nigeria.

Obi true colour as an ethnic jingoist confirmed.
Recent news have shown increased infrastructure and capacity development in port in south south and south east.

What does Obi has against Lagos yet
He lives in Lagos
Lagos gave him votes

He complained when Lagos-calaber road is built advocating for repair of existing road, now when existing port are upgraded he advocate for new ones.

Obi true colour as an ethnic jingoist confirmed.

My issue is the new theatre commander, Abubakar or what's he called.
More of a politician than a soldier
Since he resumed more strikes by boko haram
See as he even manages to pay some people who decided to put accolade for him instead of solely the army chief Shaibu.

Abubakar should not be trusted , even in jos he was said to be partisan

DANGOTE
PRESS STATEMENT
DANGOTE GROUP REFUTES OWNERSHIP OF TRUCK IN AKUNGBA-AKOKO ACCIDENT

Dangote Group has refuted reports circulating on social media and in some online platforms linking it to a truck involved in a road accident in Akungba-Akoko, Akoko South-West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The company wishes to make it categorically clear that the truck involved in the unfortunate incident does not belong to Dangote Group or any of its subsidiaries.


Verified vehicle registration details confirm that the truck with Plate No. JJJ 365 XB, is owned and operated by an independent logistics company with no affiliation to Dangote Group. For the avoidance of doubt, the truck was not conveying any Dangote products but was transporting crushed stones in reused sacks bearing various brand names.

Dangote Industries maintains a strict policy on fleet management and vehicle identification, ensuring that all its trucks are properly branded, tracked, and operated by trained personnel under rigorous safety and compliance standards.

For clarity, all genuine Dangote trucks carry distinct company markings and fleet numbers, making them easily identifiable.

While the company deeply sympathises with all those affected by the incident, it urges members of the public and the media to verify information before attributing ownership or involvement to Dangote Group.

The company also advises media organisations to refrain from using images of Dangote-branded trucks in connection with accidents or incidents unrelated to its operations.

Dangote Industries remains steadfast in its commitment to road safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible corporate citizenship across all its operations in Nigeria and beyond.

We know it is PENGASSAN at work

beerfraud:
Mr Alloy Ejimakor also needs lawyers to bail him out from Kuje Prison
Wahala for who be I**o in this country

That deceptive strategy don "cast"

Immediately the verdict and sentencing of Simon Epka in Finland was announced, Nnamdi Kanu and his lawyers got the message.
Kanu will be convicted in Nigeria. Kanu and his lawyer realised this and diverted on the path to medical / health issue of Kanu.
I think his lawyers has said no case submission,
I think the judge should just pronounce judgement.
Also the Nigeria Medical Association are also cautious bearing the nature of the issue. Most doctors won't want sign.

Tinubu the deal maker.
While the opposition are indecisive, Atiku looking for a grand reception to usher him into ADC, Obi playing hide and seek with 3 politicial parties, Tinubu is clearing the ground big time.
Get the governors then settle the party loyalist.

Kalulu44:
Why is it that anytime Nigerian teams fail in a tournament you guys always bring this excuse of man no man and favoritism. See the truth is both the successful teams and the unsuccessful ones also do have man no man players among them.
.
Now let’s leave that aside, whether this team that just failed has man no man or not. The truth is Nigerian football is at its lowest ebb at the moment.
The current crops of super eagles players are the best Nigeria has at the moment, but are they doing well, nope. Our club sides and home based eagles, have they done well in their current tournaments they all attended. Was it Man no man that also caused it.
.
Let me also tell you, even the super falcons or all the female teams that we think are giving us joy are doing so bcus in Africa they don’t have huge rivals yet. But what is their scorecard when they go for global tournaments, it’s always abysmal.
So this current under 20 results is not surprising to me. Our football ain’t just it at the moment, thank you

I agree with your point of view
Made me see a broader perspective to the issue.
Thank you

This is always the result when team selection na "man know man"
I remember sometimes ago when the former DSS son was forced into the national U17 world cup team.

To the coach and players, you didnt just lost the cup, you have also lost $100,000, an apartment and OON.

iceking4:
Paid actors !
Has peggason sabotage shell, chevron, mobil etc.

400k in Lagos for refinery with high risk, paying well ?

It's very difficult to defend a lie, what you wish for others might turn around and come to your footstool

I think you are actually the paid actor
If they dont won't the pay,then dont accept the offer
Why accept the offer and join to sabotage the organisation. The package already include some hazard allowance.
Is there anything I am missing?

Very foolish set of workers.
What benefits do they want from PENGASSAN rather than to sabotage their organisation, Dangote which is paying them good.
Had it been the issue is joining a professional body, then we may have an argument but PENGASSAN? It a no no!

Please go to the Sugar and cement factory.

Truth be told.
Obi is playing ethnic politics in the guise that he is compassionate.

He is simply telling Lagos state government that they shouldn't demolish because he want the victim to feel he is a "nice person" and lending his voice to their plight with the mischievous and subtle intention to get votes when the time comes.
Justice we all know all of the world always has it eyes closed.

In his usual manner Obi offers no solution or crebral alternative. Always bereft of ideas

PENGASSAN got a lot of backlash from Nigerians with this strike

It backfired and they had to deploy lots of social media influencers to help push their narrative.

Nothing the TUC President that shakes his head like agana lizard, says can justify their actions, it is national sabotage and treason of the highest order. They threw national interest and rule of law into the dustbin claiming that because Dangote broke the law, they are justified to break the law. Its was insanity especially from a body that has contributed inadvertently to ensure that our national refineries have been made obsolete and unproductive.
Truth be told,
Those 800 workers are not only sabotuers, they are fools.
Why? Because, since PENGASSAN is not a professional body and the body language of your employer is adverse to it you simply don't join. Rather you resign if the conditions are not favourable.QED

yarimo:
PENGASSAN are criminals parading themselves as union, they should pls keep fighting themselves

A case of "when the saboteurs become sabotaged"

In last few years, I have watched Obi,
To me is more of someone who goes out to get social media likes,
He is like a man crying to to given a microphone but when given he has no message.
Watch all his interviews including the one on CNN he has got to messages. Just to show his face and blab some problems of yester years that is bedeviling this nation and he call that leadership!
He always want to be politically correct and never taking any stand on any major issue.
A recent case is the Dangote and PENGASSON. Obi simply lost his voice. More like a clueless man or bereft of idea or simply a coward.
Most of the issue he is attacking President is more of what he should put on the doorstep of the state governor, but he can't, why? Because he was once a governor and failed. He talk about agriculture but record shows he never did anything as a governor in Anambra

Analyscam50:
Nice
I hate two minutes men and don’t want to ever come across them

Na man you wan do sege you dey find

Na football field we dey talk about o!

Nobody is after Sowore

Sowore can be termed in the yoruba saying "the hen upturn my medicine i will crush it eggs"

I hope I translated it rightly

You see Sowore knows he is going to jail for his statement about Tinubu, he has no evidence. Now what does he do, he decided to first go after the DSS, saying officers died during recruitment.
The story did not sell, he decided to go after Wike.

Why is this news?

Why frontpage?

Politicians cash out on gullible people and pay media houses to put them in the news so to make them look and remain relevant .
Nowadays we see news like
Atiku visits Pantami
Obi visit Atiku
El-rufai visit Atiku
Obi visit Pantami
Obi visit Bala Muhammad.
