Indeed it is. But that is the situation we find ourselves.

crossbreedwears:
If Nigeria as a sovereign nation budgets billions of naira for defense which includes purchasing weapons and we need the US troops to help us fight Bandits and Boko Haram then it is a shame on the president

Of course he doesn't have options. The only option is to end terrorism and if the US is offering to commit to that, he has no choice but to comply.

bluefilm:
Dey play

You talk as if balabluu has any other options other than to comply to his masters?

Dey play,OK?

You people are underating Trump, because he uses impulsive language, you think he is actually impulsive or irrational.

You people are thinking Trump is going to come an engage an ethnic group you don't like in a war on your behalf. He is not that daft you see.

Nigeria has a problem, Trump called it out with his usual inflammatory rhetorics, it forced Nigeria politicians and military to finally start treating the issue as a real issue. They acted in good faith, sent multiple diplomatic envoys to US and now the US are offering to commit troops on the ground to help Nigeria in its war against terrorism. Even a blind man can see that this is a big win for Nigeria.

JAPAHTML:
Are you now calling it a strategica partnership 😂😂😂

From They can't bomb terrorists to they can't enter Nigeria and now they're here, Is now they will not fight to a strategic military relationship with the USA
Now worry 🤣

Hate him or like him, you have to give Tinubu his flowers for the way he handled this US situation. Nigeria now have stronger relationship with the US, than under any president.

Trump's rhetoric from last year might just turn out be a blessing for Nigeria. The man is very rational and capable, regardless of his language, if you look at his actions, you can see that he means well. I just pray, he help us end this chapter of violence and terrorism.

There are only 3 big teams in Spain, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletico. If you are generous you can sneak in Sevilla, because of their Europa league record. No more, no less.

D00msDay:
Real Betis is not a small club. Betis is one of the best club in Laliga. That's where Anthony plays.

First time in my life I watch athletico Madrid game against a small club, and baba didn't disappoint.

This was how I used to watch Napoli games because of Osimhen, until he went on Instagram live and insulted the National team and the head coach. Since that day any love I had for him just magically disappeared.

I just hope Ademola maintains this his humility and professionalism. I don turn athletico Madrid fan like this o. Nothing concern me with Barcelona again. Atleti, Atleti, Ale, Ale!

The funny thing is that, some people for this country go nearly die of pain as them see this news.

I am not religious, but I see your point. Probably the take home from your message is that men evolved in fear, chaos, injustice, pain and wickedness; and that is what has stayed with us.

Goldeno:
Because God will never allow peace in the world.

When there is peace and justice and love and all the goodies nobody will remember God.

Remembrance of God is dependent on fear, chaos injustice, pain, wickedness thriving. With these the people seek a superior power to help.

After all how's is endtime going to happened if mankind is all peaceful and loving each other.

For all of human history the wicked and mischievous always tend to have and invisible force behind them, the keep growing stronger and stronger, when ever it seem they will fall they miraculously escape and just when they begin to tire out or have change of heart to good they are destroyed and a new tyrant takes over.

USA will fall, but it is not because of the evil they have done and are still doing. They will fall the moment they begin to have a change of heart to good.
They will fall and a new evil will take over.

That is the history of humanity

I wonder why there can't be peace in this life.

See as mature adult men just dey delusional, e dey do me like say na film them dey act. Biafra is a pipe dream sold by the miserable to the gullible. There are almost an infinite number of reasons why Biafra would never materilize, and to see matured people, some even educated thinking that it will happen has to be the 8th wonder if the world.

The person who wrote this clearly doesn't know what he is saying; comparing state government-imposed taxes by Republican and Democrat parties in their respective states to the Federal government VAT, which is the same 7.5% in every state in Nigeria, is not even related. They are two different types of taxes.

They say VAT is a consumption tax; you are talking about entrepreneurship. In that case, what of the millions of tons of agricultural produce from the North that does not have VAT? So should the northerners also come out and be wailing that their VAT was not calculated well?

This is getting interesting. Let's see who the traders will obey, government or the secessionist group. The governor obviously has the upper hand, all he just need to do is if they don't open on Monday he closes the market for another week, upper Monday too the same thing till they yield. Easy peasy!

Never thought I would see the day, when a US president will see Kim jun Un as a role model.

Somehow I still suspect this was staged by Kwankwaso, but if it turns out to be real, then this would be one of the worst cases of a politician betraying his benefactor.

Why in God's name will I care. How does sit at home affect me. If not that I see post about it on social media, I even forget it exists.

Mbanda:
I know you are lying because what you are saying is different from what you really want from your innermost heart. Judging from what you said initially, one can easily dictate that you really want Igbos to stop the sit at home protest.

Chai baba don enter one chance

Let me tell you, I even pray they add Wednesday and Friday as sit at home days. If they like them do sit at home for the whole year. It doesn't affect me or any other Nigerian outside the south east.

Mbanda:
Soludo is being practical over something the government doesn't give a damn?

The people that are participating in the sit at home exercise knows that, consistency is the key thats why they are still doing what they are doing. You and your likes should stop giving a damn by, pretending as if you lots don't even know that, there is something called "sit at home" in SE.

I was working in Onistsha from 2022-2024 and within that time even government workers were not free to go to work, schools were closed, banks too, even hospital you could not go, fueling stations, gas stations were were all closed every Monday. If you mistakenly forget to buy some things on Saturday, just forget it till Tuesday before you will get it again. It is just an unreasonable exercise, hurting only people in the state. Moreover, it is not even achieving anything. For how many years now, some people living outside South East don't even know anything called sit at home exist. It will even be better if Igbos all over Nigeria take to the streets and engage in peaceful demonstrations.

Jomonix:
We are leaning towards a police state. Don't forget these are all private business owners.

The governor is just been practical. Sitting at home is not helping aanyone, instead it is hurting the economy of the states.

Jomonix:
It's a symbolic move to protest against injustice. It also shows that IPOB is not threatening anyone, but people are acting on their own freewill. Shame on the governor.

Come on, how is sit at home a terrible nightmare for the Nigerian state.

Soludo is just being practical, sit at home achieves nothing. After how many years, it has not resulted in any meaningful development in the quest for Biafra, it didn't stop the government from sentencing MNK to life in prison,the government has never even invited IPOB for a conversation about their demands. Because sit at home is of no consequence to the government. A perfect example is the way the government reacted swiftly with the Naija Delta militants because their actions were costing the government, but you see IPOB their actions do not cost the government anything at all

Mbanda:
Nobody is having headache, but you and your likes, are here forming advisers. And if truly the federal government don't give a damn why is soludo the federal government puppet convulsing over the sit at home protest?
The truth remains that, the sit at home exercise has become a Terrible nightmare to the Nigerian state.

Oga say the truth and shame the devil for ones.

You sound naive. First of all it is every bit of the governors business. The sit at home Mondays are taking their toll on every institution, including banks, government agencies, not just private business. Even schools are not spared. There are 52 Mondays in a year, that is nearly 2 months. Students loose vital learning time and don't even get me started on the trillions of naira cash flow that is lost in the state. And you are saying it's not the governments business.

Kalulu44:
I'm not and will never be in support of IPOB, but if people chooses by themselves not to do business, how does that concerns the governor? Is he the one that opened business for them. If it's government workers now, ehen! He has the right to direct them as he want.
What of Sundays that people doesn't go anywhere, is it not some people that made it so. So if they add Monday to it, how is it anybody's business

Nobody is complaining. In fact the federal government doesn't give a damn at all, that is why for all these years neither Buhari nor Tinubu cared enough to even bat an eye lid towards the sit at home, same as other Nigerians. Nobody cares if the south east were to do sit at home every day of the week till Jesus comes. It is the state governments that realize this and are now taking actions to stop it.

okoliobinna84:
But we are not complaining, why are you crying though??

Mbanda:
Since you believe that, the hausas and yorubas are not affected in anyway. Why are you having severe headache over the sit at home protest happening in SE?

Sit at home is one of the most futile and irrational things I've ever seen. It just doesn't make sense to me, because at the end of the day it is your own people that are loosing, not Yoruba or hausa. Its just like those people in some countries that go on hunger strike, it makes me wonder "is it not your self, you are doing" instead of you to eat food and have strength to protest, you choose to starve yourself. That is exactly what IPOB are doing.

It is becoming clear that IPOB have a very powerful lobby in the US.

SatiSense abi watin be their name, go still calculate this one as Christian genocide. Everywhere sha good, na DT we dey wait for, make e kuku come kill all of us

Honestly, I would be very happy if I can do it.
The problem is that the Arabian name is everywhere. My degree certificate, my msc certificate, my nysc certificate, my bvn, national ID card, international passport, account numbers, voters card. just everywhere.
The thing just dey pain me. But I will never let my children experience something similar.

Oga, just change your name, na only one publication for punch newspaper e go take......
It is well

What is the fallacy? That Islam is a terrible religion or what?

notobiafrababe:
Shut up. I'm also a convert but the narrative you're spreading is total fallacy. The comments of most Christians I read here makes me shake my head. 90 percent of Nairaland Christians don't even understand the religion they are practicing. For those who will quote me, I'm a senior clergy, a snr Apostle of the Christ Apostolic Church

Islam is a terrible religion. It was after I left the religion that I experienced true peace for the first time. Free from fear and hatred for other people. I resent the fact that I still have an Arab name, e dey pain low-key, but my children would never.

See this Mumu, Tinubu no dey even reason Trump as e dey like this, watin dey e mind now, na how to secure 2nd term.

CyynthiaKiss:
Tinubu is a disgrace to humanity

Nigerians are glad that the criminal has never remained the same since Trump placed his torch light on him..

I just hope you are not an IPOB agitator, because if you are, then you are a hypocrite.

madridguy:
I stand with Trump on Greenland matter. The EU should be grateful to their master and accept Trump to annex Greenland in peace.

I like how trump take dey quarell with the whole world. They say, Whom the gods want to destroy, they first make mad.
