I hope some people will find it easy to sleep tonight.
Since the December strike, families of innocent northerners who were killed, have not been sleeping easy.

Those who were collateral damages to Trump’s search for Muslim terrorists accused of committing genocide against Christians, won’t find your comment funny.

Very good. God bless Donald Trump, God bless the lawmaker, God bless America.

Obidients won’t know whether to be happy with this or not. Their so-called “heavyweight northern VP” is about to be sanctioned. You can only imagine the kind of happiness and jubilation in their camp, had Kwankwaso already joined APC before this report. Now, they’re the ones stuck with the garbage. Tinubu is serving a living God grin
Tinubu and Ribadu must have roped him in just to kill his political career, Kwankwaso is not person who introduced sharia law, APC has lied against this man just to lender him useless politically

Nice one, anybody that has a hand in the shit of insecurity must be seriously dealt with, however both Muslims and Christians must be having freedom to do their religions without bias.

Kwankwoso shouldn't be prosecuted based on any non visible wrong doing.
What is nice about this backdoor American recolonisation that Tinubu and APC are cluelessly promoting?

Did we have it this bad when PDP deregulation and privatisation policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity and less insecurity because people were so busy being productive for them to be enticed by terrorists?

Nevertheless, Tinubu and his APC propagandists caricatured Jonathan and PDP as incompetent, corrupt, amateur, clueless, weak bloody civilians and kindergarten leaders.

Do you think that Tinubu is reaping the fruits of his actions in fighting for and grabbing power wickedly huh

EkoIle1:
It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.

The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.

Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.

Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.

It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.

I hope UK, EU, United Arab Emirates and even China join USA and declare these killers as terrorists.

This would mean asset freezes, sanctions, visa bans, interpol arrests should they go out for any kinds of treatment, visits.

Innocent lives cut short because of what?

If you think tinubu will go scotfree without US sanctions then you are naive my friend.
What does the US have on Tinubu? Did he sponsor or commit a genocide?

Oh! Insurgency started under his watch and administration?

Tell me, what he has done that is condemnable cos it glaring you typing out of emotions.

So this one too is part of our problem. Please, sanction home and disgrace him
A lot of people don't know or remember that Kwakwanso was the 2nd governor to sign the Sharia law in Kano in year 2000. Yerima was the first governor who signed it into law in Zamfara state.

Kwakwanso was the second governor in the North to sign sharia into law in Kano state in year 2000. While you are correct that he was not the first (Yerima of Zamfara was the first), Kwakwanso's action was stronger and symbolic, given that Kano was a cosmopolitan state like Abuja and Lagos state.

And of course, Kano state is more influential than Zamfara state in the North and Nigeria as a whole. Once, Kwakwanso signed shariah into law in Kano, he opened the floodgates for other Northern states to implement the law. That is the genesis of the problem in Nigeria.

When next you read about Hisbah destroying the beer business of another Nigerian, Kwakwanso is the architect.

This screwdriver 🪛 seller seems to have achieved more for Nigerians more than all the politicians, activists, and journalists in Nigeria from 2015 to 2026.

Kudos to you.

Now that the US parliament is legislating for Nigeria, it's a point that government has collapsed in Nigeria.

“US troops aren't going to be involved in direct combat or operations,” Uba told the Journal, underscoring that their role would be limited to advisory and support functions.

Boko Haram always kill our Gallant Soldiers in the War front, The US Soldiers should be involve in the combat operations and let us see how the Boko Haram will kill US Army and go free and both their Sponsors.

Good one if Kwankwaso is involved, although this might be political.
Tinubu might be coming for Kwankwaso in order to destabilize him because I'm %100 sure Tinubu can never win north by free and fair and the northerners would rather vote Kwankwaso than to vote Atiku.
It's all about politics.
Lol. So what you are saying is that northerners will vote for Peter obi if kwankwaso is his deputy.

Bro... I am sure you don't know the disdain the north has for the east plus obi is a Christian plus the obi religious war phone conversation with oyedepo.

The chances of obi in the north is very very slim.

No, I'm fully aware that my brother Obi can never win in north and west.
So he's loosing either ways. angry sad

Are they not behind terrorism all over the world, since they cannot use terrorism to destabilise Iran that is why they want to go and attack it themself.

Hmmm. If true, Ribadu seems to be doing the most. We know he was also behind Elrufai's so-called security report. Next is to scheme out Kashim Shettima. But even if he and Tinubu decides to do all of these, it still doesn't mean Northerners will vote him even if he's the only candidate on the ballot. That's not the way of the North.

Re: US Lawmakers' Bill To Sanction Kwankwaso & Fulani Militias by Flangelo12: 5:15pm On Feb 11
Much as I might want to gloat over Kwankwaso's naming, I do not want to rush to condemn a man without evidence.

What did he do to be so labelled?

Locally, we have never had to think of him that way.

I'm not keen on believing US intelligence.
