Obidients were really disappointed that Tinubu foiled their plans for the umpteenth time - military coup, violent protests, revolution, US invasion, all foiled by the master strategist himself

That's the only thing the clueless one knows how to do and how he bargains.

It was obvious there would be behind the scenes dealing from the beginning. Certainly with both such characters as Trump and BAT.

Certain people from certain region wanted total destruction of Nigeria but Tinubu changed it to greatness.

Love him or hate him, Tinubu understands the dynamics of politics.

It is not by cho cho cho.

This is the person you are planning to defeat grin

Dream on

"Nigeria holds tens of billions of barrels of oil reserves and is Africa’s largest producer. The US National Security Strategy prioritises securing strategic resources through unilateral action”, so to some extent, the US’s recent moves regarding Nigeria are about “asserting control over global energy flows”, Nwanze said.

That is exactly what Peter Obi
advised Tinubu to do
.

But Obi couldn’t take his own advice and solve the problems in LP but rather took to his heels because of ordinary Abure

Tinubu is a man that knows his onions……I can imagine bitter obi in Tinubu shoes as the president of Nigeria and getting threat from trump while he is also facing the challenge of economy and security and also have to deal with party politics grin

……the dullard would have been crying and blaming the opposition…a man that can’t solve the problem of a tiny party like elupee but had to elope grin

Indeed Nigeria dodge a bullet grin

Russia had planned to expand the Wagner Group into Nigeria while China wanted to use the Belt and Road Initiative to rope Nigeria into their network. But with US troops on ground, Nigeria is now safely located within the West.

That is not true.
Nigeria is cooperating with different nations based on her needs.

For security, it welcomes the US.

For economy, China.

Tinubu is not lobbying to go to the white house and he is doing his magics.

It is an issue of National interest and what pays us as a Nation - Nigeria can be friend with whoever she chooses.

Trump wanted to bomb the terrorists, not Nigeria.

Is Nigeria a synonym of terrorist?

The lobby by Tinubu was a waste of money. Trump and US lawmakers still believe that Christian genocide still exist in Nigeria. No lobby or propaganda can cancel that.

Riley Moore came physically by himself and visited Benue to see the largest IDP camp in Nigeria.

Tinubu was lucky that he wasn't deceived by his advisers who were shouting 'sovereignty' up and down. If he was stubborn like Maduro, Trump would have kept him in same basket as Terrorist.

Finally, it is the Onitsha main market screwdriver seller that played the best masterstroke here. Let's hope US troops arrival will offer a better fight against the terrorists.

if only Buhari had delivered his promise of decimating these foul demons called bandits

That is the strategy of Tinubu right from time.

He understands how to turn foes to allies. He’s done it time and time and time and time again.

It’s the same thing playing out with all these politicians decamping to APC from opposition. It will be like he is using jazz.

Even Trump no know when he dey praise Remi Tinubu for podium

Nigeria is no longer a sovereign nation 🤣
Trump is no longer coming for our oil😂

It's not a must u comment
At least if u must comment, give Obi the credit for going against your feelings and insisted that we should allow America assist us.

I know u attacked him then and called him all sort of names
Now u are giving the glory to Tinubu
Same all fashola and ambode achievements are tagged as his till today

The so called military cooperation or rather the intervention of eternal force to wit the US military to fight genocide against Christian was in the first instance NOT OPTIONAL. simply put Trump bullied Tinubu into accepting that the violation of the Nigerian sovereignty by the US strike in Sokoto on 25/12/2025 was a cooperative effort. Tinubu is cunningly saving face by accepting that it is military cooperation; it is really not

If they use same advanced technology they used for Madura here, terrorists can run but they can't hide. That's actually net free lunch for us! grin

“Adding a US military footprint, however limited, risks deepening instability by broadening the conflict’s ideological scope,” he warned. “The [armed] groups were already motivated; now they have a more compelling story to tell.”

More compelling stories to tell who?.

Who's listening to them?.

What other stories have the islamists to tell aside the ones they are already telling?

We want to see real actions and results from this US-Nigeria collaboration by way of seeing both terrorists soldiers and their sponsors six feet down below, not optics or rhetorics!

Time no dey again Abeg before they kpai us all!

If Tinubu meets Satan one on one, Tinubu will convince Satan to go and apologise to Jesus and then Tinubu will make Jesus to go with Satan to beg Baba God. That Tinubu can win any human or spirit to his side if he has an agenda
