Nigerians are mostly foolish people who are too lazy to use their thinking faculties...next thing they know they are fighting for 'freedom' from military dictatorship again cheesy

When national IQ is averagely low, social and economic development will be slow

When the politicians u worship are restraining them, or you think your politicians are not benefiting from the insurgency and arms trade. Why are they running helter skelter when a foreign nation is planning to step in

A yoruba man can never never be brave like this.....
If you hear a yoruba threatening brimstone and fire and beating a drum of war and you look through your windows and finds out he is a yoruba man indeed please go back and sleep.
In the words of IBB....

Count me out of those gullible Nigerians. I make use of my brain and keep sentiments in check.

Anyway, the highlights of this article for me:

"However, it is not clear why the soldiers were there.

The BBC has asked the Nigerian military for comment."


Even BBC is bewildered. What a country.

Don't mind them. See as they (military personnel) are supporting themselves. I feel sorry for the majority of these civilians cheering this nonsense. Terrorism they (military) can't eradicate. Boko boys are there vacationing in Sambisa. We better do away with this military, and know it is just civilians.

grin

Supporters of BAT's government are having a hard time trying to contain the fallout of this case. grin That's what you get when there is no truth, decency or integrity in the way you do business.

Having said that, more facts on the case are slowly filtering out. It seems the retired navy man has not provided documents to prove he is the legal owner of the land - and he is using his influence to prevent FCT officials from doing their jobs.

We are watching.

In this life, if everybody is celebrating your disgrace, then you need to check yourself and start doing the right thing.

If everybody isn't good with you, then God himself too isn't good with you.

The bible made us to understand that "Anything that is condemned on earth is condemned in heaven".

This is the right time for Wike to sit down in a very quiet place and think about all he has done that brought him hate all around the country and retrace his steps.
That's if he get sense o.
Wike is not someone that listens to advice like this.
Re: Nigerians Praise Young Soldier For Standing Up To Powerful Minister - BBC by Flexyup: 11:58pm On Nov 12, 2025
The officer did his own gallant part, let's wait for wike's rematch. Then, we count scores. After they say wike is land grabbing meanwhile so many powerful nigerians have illegally possessed properties belonging to others.

While requesting Wike to sit down in a very quiet place and think about all he has done that brought him hate all around the country and retrace his steps.
I hope you have reserved atleast 5 bottles of 40 year old whisky for him?
If not forget it.
By the way, Wike owes me a full documentary in the upcoming MMA fight Tinubu vs Wike, that one go sweet tongue die.

Oh!! That nairaland nuisance is even a fan of Buhari? cheesy

Some people are really shameless in this life. His tin-god is one of the worst things that ever happened to this country. A clueless clown that tanked the economy and took Nigeria 5 decades backwards.

I disagree. Obasanjo won't beat this drum and not activate it. I respect that Yoruba man aswear.
