He is spinning a yarn. Twisting what we already know in order to hoodwink us. If Tinubu is restructuring, let him start with seaports. When he earnestly decentralizes sea ports, I will take him seriously. Otherwise, all na wash.

Lol. What lies did the commentator tell?

Prodigal politicians fighting thieves for the treasury. The thieves think they will rig elections and continue to steal from the treasury for ever.

We Have No Parties Only Prodigal Politicians Fighting For The Treasury

Africa, for how long! We reap the dysfunctional seeds we sow. Our leaders who are today the fathers and mothers of Nepo-Children swear that their children must enjoy everything they lack or were denied when growing up under disciplined or poor parents. When other members of the communities see the outrageous and conspicuous spending of money their leaders did not earn, they emulate them. Even if not in politics, they die trying to get rich by any means.

Each of the recircled prodigal politicians would do anything to empty the Treasury, promising Salvation for almost 70 years. Instead of the masses fighting their oppressors directly, they waste their energy and useful time falling for ethnic distraction of the three ethnic groups getting Power to become the President. While the voters and the combatants ignore most of the well qualified minorities across the North to South of the country, the hegemon takes charge.

Nigerians have lost count and even number to so many millions and billions Prodigal Politicians and their cronies have looted out of the country. There are so many investigations at home and abroad to recover billions in dollars which were never returned home. If these looted funds are repatriated back to Nigeria, another set of looters are waiting to recoup them into their private pockets. We wonder at what point the disenfranchised people would have enough and revolt!

The American popular documentary series written by Alex Hailey in the 70s showed when a white child asked the father: if you said Africans were too dumb, why would you not allow them to read and write. He answered that education was a double-edged sword. It would cut both ways. South African white leaders including P. W Botha and Ian Smith of Rhodesia predicted that you cannot leave Africans to themselves because they would be self-destructive.

Indeed, nobody asks how people make their money anymore, unlike the days when living above your means exposed some odious means of income. We used to report our fellow students who spend money suspiciously. Even today, a few parents have refused expensive gifts from their children because they do not know his means of income while other parents gleefully accept expensive cars. If you report their children, they would ask you “shey nah your money he steal”?

What happens to the agulu fraudster for defecting from LP?

Imagine if it was Igbo or Yoruba tribesmen that are going all over the country killing, raping women, kidnapping men, women and children, destroying properties and chasing people out of their own lands and taking them over.
Just imagine what would have happened.

OPINION: If Plateau’s Illegal Arms Factories Belonged to Fulani Militias, the World Would Be Burning



The discovery of another illegal arms factory in Plateau State should have shaken the conscience of the nation. But it did not. Not because the development was insignificant, but because it did not fit the preferred narrative carefully marketed for years by crisis merchants, foreign lobbyists, and politically interested actors feeding off the Plateau conflict.

Imagine for a moment if troops had uncovered three illegal arms factories operated by Fulani militias in their harmlet in Plateau within three weeks. Imagine if security forces had recovered fabricated AK-47 rifles, welding machines, recoiling springs, ammunition shells and weapon components from settlements associated with Fulani groups. By now, international media would be flooded with headlines screaming “genocide.” Foreign NGOs would issue emergency alerts. U.S. lawmakers would hold hearings. Social media activists would demand sanctions on Nigeria. Naked women and youths would occupy streets in Jos. Protesters would occupy the streets of Abuja, Washington and London. Religious organisations would organise prayer marches and global petitions. Every recovered rifle would become proof of an alleged grand conspiracy to wipe out Christians.

But reality can be inconvenient. Troops of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) raided illegal arms manufacturing sites in Vom, Jos South LGA, and arrested five suspects linked to Berom militia networks. Recovered from the factories were fabricated AK-47 rifles, weapon skeletons, revolver components, magazines, welding machines and industrial tools used for weapon production. This was not a rumour. This was not social media speculation. These were physical weapons recovered by troops during a live operation.

Yet the silence has been deafening. No outrage from the usual activists. No emergency press conferences. No sermons condemning the proliferation of illegal arms within Plateau communities. No viral hashtags. No candlelight protests. No foreign NGO reports warning about ethnic militias manufacturing weapons. The same voices that quickly amplify every allegation against Fulani groups suddenly developed selective blindness.

This is the uncomfortable truth many do not want discussed openly: Plateau’s crisis is no longer a simplistic black-and-white story of innocent victims versus faceless attackers. Armed militias exist on multiple sides of the conflict. Weapons are being manufactured locally. Revenge attacks are organised. Narratives are weaponised. Communities arm themselves while simultaneously presenting themselves exclusively as helpless victims before the national and international audience.

And that is exactly why the crisis has persisted for decades. The dangerous part is not merely the weapons themselves. The dangerous part is the ecosystem protecting the narrative. An ecosystem where facts are filtered through ethnicity and religion before they are accepted. An ecosystem where the deaths of some victims generate global outrage while the deaths of others barely earn a mention. An ecosystem where propaganda travels faster than truth.

Over the past months, security operations in Plateau have exposed repeated evidence of armed local militias, reprisal cells, illegal weapon possession, and coordinated attacks hidden beneath carefully crafted emotional narratives. Troops have recovered weapons from local youths. Active shooters were seen in viral videos previously circulated as evidence of “attacks.” Security personnel have repeatedly intervened to stop reprisals between communities. Yet these realities rarely make international reports because they complicate the preferred storyline.

Even more troubling is the growing industry around Plateau’s conflict. Some foreign advocacy groups and political actors appear more interested in preserving the image of endless persecution than supporting genuine reconciliation. Fear sells. Victimhood attracts funding. Outrage generates influence. Nuanced truth does not.

This does not excuse criminality from any group. Fulani militias have carried out deadly attacks. Civilians across ethnic and religious lines have suffered enormously. But honesty demands acknowledging that armed violence in Plateau has evolved into a multidimensional conflict involving reprisals, militia mobilisation, illegal arms proliferation, criminal opportunism and deep-rooted communal distrust.

Peace cannot emerge where truth is rationed.

The discovery of three illegal arms factories in three weeks should force difficult conversations. Who is funding these operations? Who supplies the materials? Who protects the operators? How many more exist across the state? And why do some community leaders remain silent whenever these discoveries contradict the narrative they have spent years exporting abroad?

Until Plateau confronts all armed actors equally without ethnic favoritism, religious sentiment, or propaganda, the killings will continue, the reprisals will continue, and the ordinary people caught in the middle will continue paying the price.

You and your nonsense are dead on arrival. Kiss the truth.

Melezenawii:
This is sooo interesting!!! I tot Obi is a saint 😳😳😳 they mobilized 50 people to court and pay them 2k each. Omooo

Once Obi's profile rises, they will start sponsoring people to go and force Jonathan to contest. Funny APC/PDP miscreants.

Allow him to waste his time. How is it your worry?

flokii:
It's only a neophyte in politics that will think Obi has a chance against someone like Atiku..
Northerners no really send Igbos.. Obi should stop wasting his time thinking he can get to Aso rock.

Since you believe this claim, you should also believe every other claims by MNK. You cannot cherry pick.

truthera:
I wonder why many Nigerians supporting Peter Obi do not want to do a due diligence on him.... Below are snippets of revelations made by Nnamdi Kanu....

Is Peter Obi truly what he claims....?

Who says that a lawyer cannot be legal adviser to more than one political party? Osuimi

If you don't have anything valuable to say, shut up.

truthera:
Going forward, for igbos to be taken seriously in Nigeria, Nnamdi Kanu release must be vigorously pursued by all igbos. Many Nigerians especially those from other tribes often laugh at the igbos as been too selfish, easily swayed by money and not united towards national interests. 2027 election will be a golden opportunity for all igbos to make a national statement to prove the jesters wrong by unanimously demanding the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu as a precondition for election to hold in any south east state. If Nigeria fails to yield to the demand, let the election day be a day of total shutdown so that the whole world may bear witness to the injustice against Kanu and the marginalization of igbos over "One Nigeria". For those igbos who may be against this due to their interest towards voting for Peter Obi.... Know this, that you will be a big fool in the eyes of Nigeria for going against the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu to participate in a rigged election you know deep down Peter Obi will not be allowed to win. Nigeria is an unjust country that does not and will fight to ensure an igbo presidency does not emerge.... Personally, I am disappointed in Peter Obi, IMO he is a false messiah, he is no different from other desperate selfish politicians because he knows deep down that Nigeria is an unworkable toxic contraption that only breeds injustice, he knows that the best way to liberate his people and all Nigerians is by pushing for an end to the contraption through a national referendum, yet he continues to peddle false hope to his gullble followers that Nigeria will somehow work and get better if he becomes president. Igbos shouldn't be deceived as nothing revolutionary that will benefit them will come out from an Obi presidency if he some how miraculously wins in 2027, even if it turns out that he genuinely wants to work for Nigerians, as long as he will be bound by 1999 constitution, the same forces that fought against Jonathan will fight him, his own will be worse because he is an igbo man..... All igbos need to look beyond Peter Obi's fantasy political ambition which only reinforces the injustice of "One Nigeria", unite towards next year to demand for Nnamdi Kanu's uncomditional release and a referendum that will grant them total political/economic autonomy to develop their region.

No other major tribe in Nigeria will remain quiet for this long as the igbos are doing in the face of brazen injustice against their own. This is why all igbos will be on trial in 2027, if they fail to unite over the call to free Nnamdi Kanu. If they allow elections to hold in their states then they will indeed deserve to be called fools to have betrayed Nnamdi Kanu whose only crime was fighting for their liberation....

For non-igbo Nigerians, you will be better off pushing for a revolution than participating in Tinubu's well grafted rigged election that won't make any difference to your situation, Tinubu can't be voted out in a election he controls. There is no salvation for the people unless a national referendum is done that will lead to a total decentralization or disintegration of the country.....

Gbajue pastor, you go explain tire.

Liborous is adeyanju 2.0. Codedly rendering unsolicited legal opinion for APC.

Shehu Sani will not talk about this nonsense. His problem is now Peter Obi.

My G, you are on point. When I hear them rateling, I shake my head. When he visits idp camps or villages attacked by bandits, I just shake my head again. Most People are daft in this country.

What is this lame "kiss the truth"?

TimeManager:
Iran has every right to retaliate if US continues blocking ships from going in and out of Iran's Ports. It would be rather more devastating if Iran ordered the Houthis to disrupt shipping on the red sea.
US has always messes things up whenever they're in the middle of negotiation with Iran.

-Kiss the truth!

When you don't mind your own business, you gonna learn.

Get away with your useless kiss, political bandit.. .

TimeManager:
This matter go long gan.. These are state chairmen that David Mark & co expelled at their own national convention.
You came into their party, pushed them aside, usurp their powers and then appointed your co-travellers into their positions and you think they won't fight back?.
It's even ridiculous expelling Hon Leke Abejide a serving member of national assembly who won his seat under ADC long before the usurpers came into his party through the backdoor.
This party has almost 14 different court cases.

-Kiss the truth!

Wike, Akpabio and Balablu thought they were wise when they concocted the electoral act of 2026 which was hastily assented to. Now they cannot use the judiciary to do anything again against any opposition party.

Continue praying, prayer warrior. Thousands of years' prayers have not prevented bandits and terrorists from running wild in Nigeria, but you are still praying. Continue

SadiqBabaSani:
Money dey waste as far as Presidency is concerned, Tinubu dey continue. Even if he doesn't win I think he will be announced. I pray Violence doesn't break down
