What arrant nonsense, calling Nigeria a country of bigots and ethnic irredentists. Why should they be concerned about Nigerian politics. The unintelligent newspaper corporation needs to be reminded that Germany is a nation of world war orchestrating, nazistic, Jewish xenophobic, cunning, inglorious basterds that allowed despicable dictators like Adolf Hitler and Angela Merkel to be it's leader .

About the ethnic bigotry, do you know that currently in Lagos, there is a candidate of the Labour Party named, Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-vivour. Yes, you heard me right. This man is half Yoruba and Igbo, that's why he's getting all the hate and fake news about him being Igbo.

However, do you know that if this man wins, he'll become the first Lagos indigene to be a Governor? Actually, the Rhodes-vivour family has been existing in Lagos since the 19th century. His ancestors are one of the first freed slaves who owned one of the largest cocoa farms in west Africa, and his great great grandfather was a RAF bomber pilot who was killed in Germany during world War 2. He comes from a family of Judges and in fact his father in law was former military governor of Borno state and he himself graduated from MIT while his wife graduated from Harvard.

It's obvious he's from a Lagos aristocrat family and he has substantial educational qualifications and popularity in the grassroots but people hate him because of his Igbo mother, wife and name regardless of the fact that all past Lagos governors were not from Lagos state and he might be the first. In fact all Lagos governors after Tinubu had been chosen by Tinubu himself, hence the name Godfather of Lagos.

With all these facts, some people still have issues with his name. That's Nigeria for you.

I'm becoming more convinced President Muhammadu Buhari is setting Nigeria up for a coup. Everything has been thrown at this country to breaking point and now this.

Except these Supreme Court Justices spare this country with true justice by restoring the mandate of the true winner of the presidential election as reflected at the Polling Units & not legal technicalities there's no hope for Nigeria.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not be sworn in as President of Nigeria. I don't see how the Armed Forces will ever allow that to happen.

It's a 50/50 probability. There is a high chance of Tinubu been sworn in. The truth is, most of the Generals of our armed forces think like elites, so the probability of a coup by the Generals is low except the middle ranking officers decide to step up, which is also slim

Unfortunately it seems the SANDF is truly in a deplorable state.

Bro..... relax...

Every year it is like that...DefenceWeb will write articles about the "deteriorating state of the SAAF"... In March, the SA financial year starts, the contractors are paid, the DefenceWeb will not report it.

Now, we all know about SANDF affairs because we have an open media, if we had to check into other countries (maybe Nigeria) you will find that the situation is worse, but it is not reported because no one gives such information to the media..... Here is an example, have you ever seen 5 helicopters of the same platform flying at once (for shows or during deployment) by the Nigerian Air Force (at least recently)? NO! you have not. So that would tell you something about the state of the Nigerian Air Force, but it is never reported.

Again, this time a German Newspaper

Look what Nigeria turned to overnight. An International pariah and Narco state.

Nigeria the shameless country of bigots and ethnic irredentists who stole a presidential election for a drug lord like Pablo Escobar.

Shut up augbugbu.

Enough of the off topic.
U can open a thread for election shenanigans.
If people re to organize protest now, he won't come out, only to disturb our 👂 here.

Point made. They are leaving the foundation and talking what is really now irrelevant things. I'll continue to repeat we are just wasting our time if in 2023 Nigeria still conducts stolen elections in broad daylight. Really deplorable!

Go nd sleep

It is not arrant nonsense. Actually the black man is a much free and dignified human being in any of those western countries than in Nigeria itself. So no you are wrong, they do their home work better than we do because of those very fault lines that is self evident even here with ethnic jingoists and irredentists.

That "unintelligent" newspaper might be richer than many of your home newspapers put together. Wake up this is not 1945 of Nazi Germany, what you have today is a modern Germany and Europe that have working systems and institutions where your criminal politicians stash their loot but impoverish their own people by perfecting state capture. This is why they point to you the facts that only in Nigeria can a Bola Tinubu be president.

In Europe or America a nobody's son or daughter or immigrant can become somebody. We are all witnesses to Barack Obama despite the prejudice. His father tried but couldn't succeed in Kenya but his mixed race son could in the world's leading power.

Africa to put it mildly is what Donald Trump says about it, its sad but if only Nigeria did the right things that narrative would change in the not too distant future but the tribes war with each other. Let's stop deceiving ourselves.

If a Peter Obi can't win elections in Nigeria against known kleptocrats, please forget it.

Wow, really disturbing seeing people argue about an already known probability. I told a fellow in 2021 categorically that in Southern Nigeria today, no politician comes close to Tinubu. His response was, if he contest, he will die. Funny!

Despite the hate and campaign of calumny, he still won.

People who threaten brimstone and thunder always forget that millions also votes for Tinubu. If push comes to shove, they most definitely can't hold their ground.

If you have any issue or reservations, approach the court of law.

An election build up that has a major candidate say " Christians rise and reclaim your country" in a church, and they think Muslims and other ATW would sit still.

Live and let live.

It is the right time for a coup. Junior ranking officers are disgruntled. They will have the people's backing. A drug lord can't be allowed to rule Nigeria whether his derange.d backers like it or not. I'll be here for their wailing.

Its either the courts do the right thing or there is no Nigeria. Period. No justice no peace.

Tinubu was allocated votes by INEC. Nigeria is a corrupt country. The whole world except wicked people will accept that a man who can't stand by himself or make a coherent speech won election in a country with supposedly intelligent people. The election was a sham. It is not hate and calumny but the truth. Useless country.

That is the country some mo.rons expect to make progress. Tufiakwa. A noble family of hero's is attacked because he's igbo. Everybody should go there way. The igbos everybody knows will become the Japan of Africa in a very short time. To imagine his RAF bomber brother was on a bombing mission over Nuremberg, Germany when he was killed-in-action that helped end WW11 and bigots dare insult his descendants. Nigeria only causes people pain.

Common election they can't hold. Nonsense.

You keep repeating the same thing. Well, the beauty of democracy is in the numbers. Till the court upturn his victory, he looks set on being sworn in come May.

The good thing is the numbers don't favour your destructive APC and never will. You are all going down one way or another.

The man who will be President is the one your party top to bottom is using now to campaign. Gosh! Your party leaders and governors north and south are going round begging OBIdients to forgive them for stealing the vote.

What a day to be alive in Nigeria. Everyone in Nigeria now needs Peter Obi's endorsement to win and yet they say he didn't win the Presidential election. What a contradiction.

No Tinubu will not be sworn in. Since he said he will be president hook or crook and has done his worst he should be prepared for the revolution that will consume him. The results are out there and data don't lie. Get ready for the man from the East to be your president.

Anything short of the peoples mandate Nigeria will cease to exist. Nobody will be imposed on.

It does. The West usually does not support authoritarians.

Since you used "usually" I'd look away

Russia has not shown ability nor interest (I'm not talking about the Soviets) in defending authoritarian regimes in Africa

Besides, in the 21st century Authoritarianism ≠ Communism

That's a bold statement you should have verified before making.

Have you heard about the countries, Libya, Mali and Eritrea? I doubt you have.
