Never follow a follower who is following someone who has fallen. Its why the whole Nigeria is falling apart. Stupid man useless military. Trying to shift attention somewhere else. Is Impossible to try coup in Nigeria

A coup can happen in Nigeria but the actors involved in carrying it out must not allow it look like an ethnic cleansing, otherwise they will repeat the same mistakes of the 1966 coup (it may end up in a war or total separation).

HellVictorinho:
But there are millions of successful Nigerians in different fields of life in diaspora.

No doubt and there also millions of successful people from other African nations in the Diaspora.

Labaran maku and that stupid thing serving jail time Olisha metuh done more than this.

Those were animals especially Olisa Metuh I can only wish their fate for Lai when he leaves office.

Fear of the inevitable is already setting in. For the Chief of Army Staff to be afraid of a coup, it means that he knows that the present regime isn't performing and a lot of Nigerians are angry. It may not be a coup but a revolution, the build up is slow but when it stretches beyond its elastic limit, it will be very bloody for all of them that have tasted power and there will be no Oluomo rock to protect them when it is happening.

Nigeria's inevitable doom keeps coming closer each passing day, instead of the people in power to find solutions to already existing problems they are finding joy in creating new ones.

Is this is a campaign to paint him white in the midst of black colored men? Osinbajo no doubt has vision but has been subdued by the powers in the presidency. I watched his actions, when the C in C was away on his usual tourist trips, and he looked like someone who would make a difference but in order to be considered for the numero uno position, he needs to show working under the current regime.

Lai never fails to disappoint. Whoever expects much from, this pathetic liar must believe that unicorns existed. As far the Internet is concerned, the government can't control social media unless they are ready to disable the Internet in the country and cripple financial institutions, and a host of other business that make use of it.

Only if Buhari has been reading daily news and have ears to listen

Irony: The Deaf President

I never expected an article below par from Bulama, kudos. "Buhari must lead or leave. Period"

He has a really impressive resume. I may not like the recent conduct of the intelligence agency under him but if there is one thing I have understood over the years in the intelligence world is that orders can't be flaunted and morality must be set aside, so I will believe he is only following the orders of his direct superior.

After this clout chasing and Umahi fails to recognise this set of urchins, who have made it their top priority to fight a war that is not theirs, then he has failed his supporters and the general public.

Guestlander:
There's no food shortage in the U.S. The amount of food destroyed in the US every year will make you think they are crazy.

That's what many of them, who claim to know fail to understand. America food reserves that can last it during a 10-year war and you expect them to experience shortage because of a pandemic.

plaindealer:
Many of them are unexposed, they know nothing beyond their village happenings.

Here comes Ijele, the one who has travelled the world over. So, what does your little mind think it has been exposed to, that a person in the 21st century would need to move around like "a shepherd wandering about in search of his lost sheep" that can't be found on the Internet or you feel this is the 1500s?

Rossntti:
Everything points to things getting worse in America.

These food lines could be just the beginning.

The way Trump and his millions of supporters are refusing to accept defeat at the polls spells all sorts of trouble for that country.

There is talk of civil war in the divided nation.

Plus the covid scamdemic is leading to thousands of shut businesses and lost incomes.

Biden's entry will increase the number and scope of lockdowns, and further tank the economy.

Well done, Oga Analyst. You are quick to foresee the downfall of another nation (light years ahead of yours) but also swift as an eagle to shut another person, foreseeing the doom of your own country.
I can see that Nigeria is not also on the brink of a war (with the rise of agitations and talks of marginalization), and the economy is performing well not to talk of how expertly the spread of the Covid-19 has been handled. For you to call Covid-19, a scam of a virus then you should be quick to join people of your level at Yaba Left and stop meddling in things you have little or no power to effect change.

What is this one talking about?

Sharing food in Nigeria or long food line in Nigeria is not the point, the point is hunger and in America and thousands of people lining up and spending house in food line in America.

Joe Igbokwe is right, many Americans can not afford a plate of rice and definitely not 50 kg of rice.

I thank God for my life that I'm not hungry or lack access to food so i don't see myself standing in food line in Nigeria, in america or anywhere on the surface of the earth. I thank God and to God be the glory.

That's the issue in Nigeria, the middle class and the elite thinks life begins and ends with them. The mere fact you can afford a 50-kg bag of Rice doesn't mean someone from the lower class can but because you want to push a narrative that all is well (when you clearly know it is not), you avoid the plague that the lower class pass through and go on "dancing the David dance".

Caveat: We may be experiencing situations worse than this in the nearest future (due to insurgency and lack of accessibility to farmlands), if eventually that period comes I hope you would maintain the same vigour.

Because we are the most populous concentration of black nation in the world.

The entertainment capital of Africa

The corruption capital of Africa

The no killing field in Africa

Gaint with directionless leadership on the continent

Largest economy without concrete export/products

A penisulla of raw untapped talents on the continent

Most travelled set of people in Africa

Most civilised and educated people on the continent

Poverty capital of the world

Ruled by a retired military General without clue in security

Most vulnerable, insecure country on the continent

Most unpatriotic and tribalistic country in Africa

Religious capital without proportional righteousness to justify its religiosity.

Country with largest numbers of private Jet with corresponding bad roads.

Only country where Bandits and terrorists collect taxs from innocent citizens.

Only country with confused and incompetent presidency

Nigeria has neither the most educated or most civilised folks in Africa. Zimbabwe, Seychelles, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa and Kenya lead Nigeria in terms of literacy rate per population.
I don't think, we should deceive ourselves that, we are civilised, we are only used to "chest beating" to boost our lost ego on the African continent.

Lies we tell ourselves to console our failure. From Timbuktu to Porto-Novo, From Johannesburg to Lusaka, From Kampala to Nairobi and From Yaounde to Kinshasa, the respect for the self-acclaimed "Giant of Africa" has dropped.
The veil that covered the eyes of countries in Africa, that once looked up to Nigeria is starting to fade away, soon we would be living on our past glory. New giants that will take the lead are already in the making, and Africa will wait no more for Nigeria to spearhead its direction.

Ganduje always making the news for scandals. For a moment I thought the news making the rounds was true, as that would have been a blow to the academics world but well, when it concerns "Gandollar", it is best you sit tight and wait for the last.

The FG is always good at doing the wrong things and bad at doing the right things. The protesters never asked for much, they never asked good roads, steady electricity supply, or any other basic amenities, there request was a simple one "tell your security operatives not to kill us indiscriminately". This plea has not been granted and has lingered for days instead of addressing it, they choose to go on witch hunt of the protesters.
Maybe we would finally burn the country to the ground since they can't let us live in peace, we have never asked for their support in anything we just want to live our lives peacefully, and not get killed for trying to survive in this jungle.

Oh my, why does it feel like Jonathan is nursing an ambition to run for a second term?

My entire life was built in Library. That's Popsy for creating in me an unquenchable thirst for knowledge!

I also thank my old man for this too, we have a large library at home and I spent much of my childhood and teenage years reading.

Appleyard:
Blood of Goat! Israel is "a century ahead of the United States" in security? When they just can't do without American weapons? Even the bones of Ariel Sharon would be disappointed with this blatant disservice to the US efforts towards Israel. Hear this: the major reason why Israel is still intact today as a nation is down to the unwavering support from the United States, so stop being ignorant of the fact.

Yes. Israel is good at retrofitting and using reverse engineering to do great things. And yes, they have turned dicey and supposed difficult situations around. But comparing them to being better than the US is sheer fallacy.

So the ability of MOSSAD to get involved in clandestine operations and assassinations make them greater and better than the CIA and the KGB/FSB? This shows you don't even know the extent these Agencies work. If you know the range and capabilities of the CIA and KGB/FSB, you will understand that MOSSAD is just a local government police force. In fact, it is very disappointing that you are even comparing them at all.

Who doesn't have elite units? Boy, I don't think the rest of your post is worth the argument.

Don't underestimate the MOSSAD every intelligence agency is powerful in their own way and have their goals but that doesn't mean you should underrate one. The MOSSAD is far deadlier than you can imagine.

Yenefer:
The evil of corruption reaches into every corner of Nigerians. It lies at the heart of the most urgent problems we face — from economic uncertainty, to endemic poverty, to the ever-present threat of radicalisation and extremism.” —We can get the better Nigeria we desire, if truly we can abandon ethnicity, religiosity, dishonesty and greed. We can build a better nation if we start doing now the things we said we are fighting for; But is impossible because corruption is imbedded in the Gene of every Nigerian

Well said Yennefer of Vengerberg, the average Nigerian is corrupt and is always on the look out for dubious and easy means to enrich themselves.

Even when Awolowo was alived, not all yorubas believe in his philosophy.

I know that everyone can't agree with a persons' ideology as long as their lives aren't under threat.

No sir, we don't like him in Oyo state

Oh my, this is the first time I have heard a Yoruba person say they don't want him.

Pearlyakin:
Let him keep the magic to lagos state pls, we don't need his useless magic.

I thought everyone wanted him.

Captaincee:
we are not friends with Cameroon!!!!!! No francophone westafrican country is a friend of Nigeria ��!!

France continues to use proxies to undermine Nigeria but we shall overcome them!!

You really understand geopolitics, all former French colonies are not allies to Nigeria. Their alignment with Nigeria is in the interest of France and with current situation in Nigeria I don't see us overcoming them soon.
Maybe Turkey's new interest in the Sahel and mostly former colonies of France, and their cold war with France will reduce France influence in the Sahel.
