shortgun, you and your Igbo brothers and sisters who want him out are in the minority. Majority of Nigerians voted him into power in 2023, we will vote him again in 2027.
Stop deceiving yourself.

Nobody voted that certificate forger in chief.

If the fact that he was beaten mercilessly in the Lagos some Mumus are claiming he built, and even his state of origin doesn’t tell you anything, then your level of intelligence leaves much to be desired.

Your head is full of tribe and religion profiling but when the north you so despised now return same to you in elections, you started shouting born to rule.
Insurgency has nothing to do with religion or tribe. It is all about illegal mining of rare mineral resources. Whether this sink into your skull vis-a-vis your narrative, is your business.
You are right on mining which I believe is 80%~90% but other Actors are pushing for religious and tribal supremacy 📌💯.

After the resignation his international passport should be hold down to avoid him run away for proper investigation.

The result of northern political bandits meeting yesterday.... He has made a lot of money and recovered all that spent on jagabanit presidential election...

He has secured himself with mining factory and oil wells
It is called political appointment/compensation

What about Kwakwanso?
When Kwankwaso was MoD (2003-2007), a retired General, Aliyu Gusau was NSA.

I see a Wike hand in this resignation. This is due to the land matter between AZ Gambo and the FCTA. Up next is the Minister of state for defence.

Which speedy recovery? Biko.
Do you honestly believe he is sick.
Na person wey sick dey recover now.

Awon terrorist sponsors dede.

He has a lot of questions to answer, he and his minister of State.

In fact Nugu Ribadu too. I no just trust am.

There are lots of things that can be divulged on public space like this.

But the bottom line is this.
The war against insurgency is a big one, that will not easily go away.
It is an IDEOLOGY. Ideologies can hardly be killed.
You can kill one person but million others with same ideology will spring up.
These guys have perfected the act of brainwashing the young generation, their army is large and vast.
They believe this is a course that must be achieved even if it costs thir lives.
And this is where it gets scary.
At the back of this ideology is a supremacist agenda. Agenda of conquest.
He that has an ear, should hear what the spirit says to the church.
In fact you've summed up the whole problem in this post

Was it the same mining they were looking for in the church.

When people are brainwashed, it is almost impossible to save them

He's a full General, as a former CDS, four stars ⭐ not Lt Gen (COAS, Chief of Army Staff)

They are Always resigning on health ground.. I guess he knows the government is working for had no concrete plans to end insecurity

He had a hand in banditry ravaging the NorthWest.

The Minister of State Defence who protected the bandits many times as Governor. This is the first time since '99, we won't have the NSA and/or the Minister of Defence as ex-Military men.

My first guess is CG Musa.... He was at the Villa today.

The NSA is his ManFriday, it's like removing Gbaja, noooooo.
Then let him look for another position for him, see the Fulanis are only loyal to their people let's know this and know peace

Oga leave that script wey you dey read and face reality? Insecurity will not be fought with you Fulanis at the helm, simple as ABC.
You people should stop blackmailing us with elections, don't worry come 2027 I will see the Hausa you will convince again to come and vote your interest after killing them.

I used to believed in this line of though about Alqaeda but were seriously dealt with by the US and EU partners. they even tried to metamophos into ISIS, US and Partners still pounce on them.

The best approach our home grown insurgent is Wack-A-Mole approach, those guys are actually coward, lack of fierce and decisive action is what is giving them field day.

We want to see Tinubu resign, he has failed in everything aside dividing the country and promoting bigotry angry
How many presidents in NGR have you seen resigning? Be realistic for once......& resign to give who the position: mr vp or mr Obi, or who? Maybe you will assume office for him?

Haba!!!! RONU small. Think small.

Re: Abubakar Badaru Resigns as Nigeria's Defence Minister by PWANMaxGroup: 11:32am On Dec 02, 2025

Before 2015, many didn't believe an incumbent president in Nigeria Africa will peacefully handover power to opposition. I see Tinubu resigning. The resignation of the defense minister has set the ball rolling

Was unfit for the job, sentimental.
Re: Abubakar Badaru Resigns as Nigeria's Defence Minister by writeprof(m): 2:05pm On Dec 02, 2025
How rational is it to ask a cat to watch over a mouse or a fish?

That job should never be for a politician but a veteran soldier. The service chiefs should also resign for fresh blood.

Long overdue, Tinubu should be smart enough to realize that the insecurity caused by Fulani tribesmen and the security architecture should not be handled by the same people causing the problem, look for another tribe or person to handle that office.
The next to go should be the NSA and the Minister of State for defence.
Your tilimbu is part of the organizers , yes these jiahdist were the armed wing of APC since 2012
