ResidentSnitch:
And the Nigerian military and state governments will watch them relocate comfortably without doing anything about it.
You see the effect of the Muslim/Muslim ticket we warned you people about?

Exactly when we said don't present Muslim/Muslim ticket stupid southerners collected 20k and came online to defend nonsense. Una eye go see something

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde N50 billion as support for the Ibadan explosion.

Fayose disclosed this in an interview with TVC on Friday.

He criticized Makinde for telling Nigerians skewed details on his conversation with President Tinubu.

“The president of Nigeria, yes, he wanted the sitting; he wanted the minister to be appointed. Circumstances did not allow him to get that slot.

“But you did not tell Nigerians you got, at the prerogative, at the mercy of Mr. President, 50 billion Naira in support of the explosion in Ibadan.

He never said that to Nigeria. So, the president can say the explosion is not worth more than 10 billion.”

Fayose alleged that the 50 billion Naira provided by the presidency to assist Oyo State in managing the aftermath of the explosion did not go directly into the state coffers.

“The 50 billion did not come into the coffers of Oyo state. It came with you coming to interface with the president because you came and said you met with the president,” he said.

He further accused Makinde of failing to acknowledge the president’s support publicly, stating,

“You only said the part where you said the president told you to ‘go and organize APC for me,’ and I said, ‘I cannot organize.’” But you did not tell Nigerians what the president did for you and did for the good people of your state.”

DAILY POST reports that accused Makinde of destroying the Peoples Democratic Party in the South-West.

Recall that Makinde, in a recent interview, declared that he is not supporting President Tinubu in 2027.

This is a lie , Egbin is still down

The statement added that other thermal power plants remain available and on standby, awaiting confirmation of gas supply from their respective suppliers.

fuckingAyaya:
You are trying to divert the attention well meaning Nigerians from the US strike against terrorists in the north by fanning the ember of ethnic violence and tribalism😄😄😄😄 something Reno and Ffk would do anytime Donald Trump beam his torchlight on Tinubu incompetence 😄😄😄😄. Why are u bringing up this topic now? So people will remember the coup u haters term "igbocoup" you people are too predictable 😄😄😄😄 thank God IBB was alive to correct the narrative of what u term igbocoup😄😄😄😄

PlasmaTV:
Are you dyslexic? What gibberish are you spewing?

PlasmaTV:
Go warm eba chop.

PlasmaTV:
This is very funny 🤣.

APC trying to cling itself to the strike is the most hilarious news of 2025.

PlasmaTV:
Tinubu didn't do JACK.
When Trump tweeted against the insecurity, data boys were jumping up and down shouting like rats.
Now, they're trying to claim victory. A rare case of bipolar.

The zombies have not had it so bad.

madridguy:
Even though the strike against the terrorists is a welcome development, I'm still not happy that despite the fact we have been fighting insurgency for over a decade now, we are yet to be inspired to create or build weapons to fight them.

By now the FG should have been busy sending our engineering students to countries like US, Iran, Turkey, Israel and Russia to learn how to build drones and other gadgets instead of spending billions every year to buy.

The FG should also work on our borders.

God bless Nigeria.

They're still on phase 1 ke? Will this project be finished in the next 25 years like this?

“A total of 16 GPS-guided precision munitions were deployed using MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial platforms, successfully neutralising the targeted ISIS elements attempting to penetrate Nigeria from the Sahel corridor."
This is what the Nigerian government said above.

See lies. The US specifically mentioned the ship it used to conduct these strikes. Even down to the location of the ship and the name of the tomahawk missiles used. Hell, even the BBC, DW and Reuters have the same information on the ship and missiles used.

What is wrong with our government?

sirchim:
Who takes the MU-MU govt serious anymore? No one, except their MU-MU supporters.

The strikes were launched from maritime platforms domiciled in the Gulf of Guinea, after extensive intelligence gathering, operational planning, and reconnaissance.

Thewrath:
As if body has not been telling on all of us all these while,what difference will that make?

And why are you guys the only ones complaining,are you terrorists sympathizers or their sponsors?

TimeManager:
Always the same story everywhere US has conducted one strike or the other. Indiscriminate bombings at the expense of innocent civilians. We actually do not need to US carrying out any airstrike on our territory, we demand they sell weapons to us without any prolong delay in delivery and without any stringent conditions attached. Our gallant military are more than capable to finish the rest.

-Kiss the truth!

SisterAnn:
But FG gave the intelligence. Could it be FG is misleading the US for obvious reasons?

A Catholic priest serving at St. Kevin’s Parish in Ogbaku, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State, was shot by unknown assailants on Christmas Day, raising alarm within the church and local community.

The attack reportedly occurred around 8:00 a.m. on Thursday as the priest, identified as Rev. Fr. Raymond Njoku, attempted to enter the parish premises.

Fr. Njoku, the assistant parish priest, was said to be opening the church gate when he was suddenly shot by attackers believed to be kidnappers.

Eyewitnesses noted that the assailants were not seen in the vicinity and appeared to have fired from a distance.

“It happened this morning. He was trying to enter the gate, but before he could do that, a bullet from nowhere hit him", a source told local journalists in Owerri.

According to reports, one of the bullets struck the priest on his right arm, leaving him injured. However, he was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment and is said to be responding positively.

“Nobody saw the people that shot him; it was like a stray bullet. Thank God he did not die. He has been taken to the hospital,” one of the sources said.

Further details from the Archdiocese of Owerri indicated that Fr. Njoku was shot while driving back to his parish residence. His vehicle was reportedly riddled with bullets during the attack.

“His vehicle was riddled with bullets, but by God’s grace, none hit any vital organ,” an official of the Archdiocese said.

“His right hand was injured. He feigned death, and the gunmen fled.”

The Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Archdiocese, Most Rev. Lucius Ugorji, confirmed the incident but said the identities of those responsible were unknown.

Meanwhile, the Imo State Police Command has acknowledged awareness of the shooting. The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Henry Okoye, said the incident had not yet been formally reported to the police.

“Yes, I’m aware of the incident, though the church is yet to officially report the shooting. However, the Divisional Police Officer for Owerri West has visited the church to verify the claims. He has also requested to see the priest to aid the investigation,” Okoye said.

Police authorities say investigations are ongoing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the attack and identify those responsible.

However, multiple sources, including local authorities, told Daily Trust that no airstrikes were recorded in the eastern part of Sokoto state, which has experienced banditry for over a decade.

Two things involved here

1 either this was a warning strike or mistaken coordinates.

2. There was a leak since Tinubu FG gave them permission to strike and leaked info to the terrorist or their enablers to flee that location immediately. Hence no casualties

The latter is more likely

Aloy Ejimakor, lead counsel to the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has called for his client to be moved out of northern Nigeria, citing security concerns.

Ejimakor made the call on Friday via his X handle following reports of a United States military strike on terrorist targets in Sokoto State.

According to him, the development confirmed that Sokoto is heavily affected by terrorist activities and was never a safe location to detain Kanu.

He argued that the presence of terrorists in the area poses a serious risk to Kanu’s safety and urged the authorities to relocate him to a facility outside what he described as the “terrorist belt” in northern Nigeria.

Ejimakor stressed that relocating Kanu has become more urgent in light of the recent security situation in the region.

He said: “The US military strike against terrorists in Sokoto has finally confirmed that Sokoto is riddled with terrorists & thus was never a safe place of custody for MAZI NNAMDI KANU. It’s now more urgent that he be travelled outside the terrorist belt in Northern Nigeria.”

SarcasticWords:
Why would a former U.S. Marine think this way?

Could it be because he once fought on the battlefield, watched his friends die, and nearly got himself killed, all because of a lie his government used to destroy sovereign nations and steal their resources?

A lie they are still using today?

Nah!!! He’s just a hater and a terrorist sympathizer!!!!

God bless Trump!!!



Who cares? God bless trump. we love america. Hurray!!!!!


👆 Mentality of some "highly intelligent smart educated nigerians''.

jmoore:
