Many Nigerians online have questioned why the Federal Government chose to use the Igbo language for the first time to deliver a message from a Northern leader and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso who condemned Donald Trump’s planned military invasion of Nigeria. This comes after a U.S. lawmaker, Moore, accused Kwankwaso of complicity in the killing of Christians. The government had first circulated the message exclusively in Yoruba and Hausa. However, after heavy criticism online the official page later posted an Igbo version, 12 hours afterward. https://x.com/NigeriaGov/status/1985487978450624874?t=GgVDo647iLx6wFlchR93Yg&s=19

All this are cosmetic and won't address anything The Igbo man is the most educated in Nigeria and enjoy the best HDI and you think this cheap propaganda would do anything? Few weeks ago you were demolishing Igbo buildings now you want to tell them we are one nation? Lagos have received 10 times more allocation than a whole zone even the allocation to South East 50% was from MTN where our late son was chairman We are not fools, restructure along ethnic lines or divide Nigeria |

Suddenly the reject stone is becoming a precious gem to them. No sane person should be impressed with this hypocrisy even if the message is disseminated in the major Nigerian languages. The deception and falsehood of the Nigerian state is legendary |

When trouble comes, they will look for Igbo for friendship and partnership, but when joy comes North will be in love with the Yoruba and the South South. This won't stop Americans invasion to Nigeria , period! |

It would take this govt less efforts to fight terrorists than the efforts invested in propaganda. For anyone watching closely, it’s no more in doubt that the FG is working closely with the terrorists. |

They are still busy milking Kwankwaso's comments and translating it to several languages. What manner of incompetents are Tinubu's media aides? The presidency is in disarray! Little wonder they were desperate for both Obi and Atiku to comment. They desperately needed a co-sign. |

AMINDA:In total disarray. The whole outbursts from Trump, blew them out of the water. Even a presidential aid was caught busy foaming in the mouth under Trumps posts on different media platforms. He wanted a gba gbos with Trump on twitter them.. What kind of confusion is that ![]() The reason is that the whole Nigerias political establishment was built on the back of fervent western imperialistic support. And that is both diplomatically and militarily. The ruling class in Nigeria, totally aware that most Nigerians are grossly tired of the country, decided long time ago to run the country oppresively like a slave camp to the west. So when the same western countries thatbused to support Nigeria from all fronts, start to act like they're tired of the whole pokitical debauchery going on in Nigeria, their men in power over here felt like they are now naked and vulnerable, hence the monumental confusion.. |

It is better for us to use our indigenous languages to communicate than to rely on foreign languages. |

The message from Kwankwaso and the rest of the message regarding Trump invasion are all fabricated stories. Let the peddlers of the stories reveal their sources |

casualobserver:The APC is turning everything into politics. What is so special about Kwankwaso’s statement that the Tinubu-led APC government is going head over heels circulating it in local languages? Where's Tinubu’s own statements , threatening fire and brimstone, and committing resources to flush out terrorists and bandits committing heinous crimes? Why aren’t those being circulated in different languages? |
