NYSC orientation should become a paramilitary training for graduates. They should be taught how to handle and operate different kinds of weapons, military manoeuvres, performing CPRs, rendering first aids, swimming, patriotism and civic duties, how to deal with active terroristic campaigns, etc.

After 6 weeks of training in the camp, male and female graduates should know how to operate a gun, what to do when there is a suspicious package, etc.

If ever they need to defend themselves either in Nigeria or outside, they will deploy the learnt tactics.

Kids, stay away from idiots. They like to self destroy and you might be collateral damage!!

After listening to his speech, what stuck a cord with me is him saying training has to be continuous. Once the Nigerian Police embarks on lifelong training of their personnel, we will begin to see huge effects.

The new motto should be: if police officers are not on shift, on leave or retired, they should constantly be on training.

Why do Nigeria want to go to the world cup through back-door.

Front door, back door, A door is a door.

Also, rules are there to make the game much fairer. If Congo can’t abide by the rules, then it’s their problem.

China can never do this for u.. not on this planet...

All they know is how much u will pay?
Nonsense bug for nothing nation and always stingy , selfish and greedy ..

A ppl who hates coruption in their homeland but encouraging their nationals to be corupt abroad just to bring in the money

You really do not want China getting involved militarily. China actually has more incentive to get involved and go after the islamists because they disrupt their progress, be it rail/road construction, etc. China’s policy to look the other way and focus on business is a decent alternative.

I hope UK, EU, United Arab Emirates and even China join USA and declare these killers as terrorists.

This would mean asset freezes, sanctions, visa bans, interpol arrests should they go out for any kinds of treatment, visits.

Innocent lives cut short because of what?

manuelkel:
Good one if Kwankwaso is involved, although this might be political.
Tinubu might be coming for Kwankwaso in order to destabilize him because I'm %100 sure Tinubu can never win north by free and fair and the northerners would rather vote Kwankwaso than to vote Atiku.
It's all about politics.

No one is coming for anyone. If USA is mentioning certain names, it’s purely based on intelligence.

Also, ask yourself…. The reason terrorism is persisting and won’t go away is because there are political sponsors financing them, and government has been weak or inept in rooting them out. USA is now determined to put a final end to it, ensuring prayers of victims finally answered.

First thing is the four refeneries...

Presidential fleets......

National stadiums in Lagos and Abuja....

National theatre, iganmu

Possibly Aso Rock

Underutilised/abandoned power stations should be added to the list. Also, airports, seaports, pipelines. Anything government built but doesn’t have expertise to run should be sold.

He did that because he loves Uba like his son.

Nigeria should establish a national lottery operated by a trusted, privately run and fully accountable firm.
50% of proceeds would go to lottery winners, 25% would be ring-fenced for sports development (serving as counterpart funding), and the remaining 25% would be allocated to clearly defined public-interest causes like orphanages, widows and children of servicemen who died in duty, grassroots sport complex, education, etc.

Remove the US,

Britain will protect their investment

Did you know Britain said there's no such thing as Christian persecution?

Is Nnamdi Kanu not a British citizen?

Do the Brits give a hoot about his ass?

This is politics and Nigeria as one is in their interest

Not really. Fossil fuel’s investment is dwindling due to clamour for greener alternatives. Nigeria isn’t an asset as it was back then. Oil was discovered in huge quantities in the late 50s, Nigeria wanted to break apart in the mid 60s, surely there was an asset to protect back then, right?

Now, no support for anyone. Look at Sudan, they making them fight it out.

skywalker240:
If it had succeeded, nothing would have happened

The Brits are paper super powers now, plus nobody will want his investment go like that

So Britain will definitely support the north

Britain and USA will support a terrorist, poverty-stricken region kidnapping and killing kids, wanting to go to school?? Core north just got bombed, how is that for support??

Even Muslim predominant countries allow girls’ education.

What the core north should remember is that if they plan a coup against Tinubu and it succeeds, you can as well say goodbye to a United Nigeria. It’s done!! It’s no longer 1966 anymore!! What particularly helped in 1966 was that the British government at the time were unwilling to allow a newly independent Nigeria to break into pieces, hence the support they gave Gowon. The support they gave Nigeria was the decisive factor.

Anyway, let’s allow democracy thrive, as its turn by turn. Buhari’s gov was not disrupted, even with glaring failures and ineptitude, so pls don’t truncate it now, or goodbye.

President Tinubu should sack Adelabu and replace him with Olu Arowolo or any competent person.

Adelabu should go focus on his already failing governorship ambition.

Some stupid humans and their fixation to keep the human race backwards!!

I can see why people are jostling to be his vice for 2027, just in case he doesn’t complete his tenure. 😉🤣. Although, anyone he chooses as vice will have a strong footing come 2031.

What people like Peter Obi do not realise is that once Nigerians start paying taxes, citizens will monitor and challenge their government more through defiance and protest. Currently, the way Nigeria fund itself has little tax burden on taxpayers because the resources that mainly fund these budgets are from the ground, hence why Nigerians don’t demand accountability from their leaders.

Any President after Tinubu would also be a beneficiary of government funding through taxation.

Citizens will also guard their votes and keep a close eye on elections more, which benefits opposition. Peter Obi might never be president not because he was from the South East but because he isn’t a smart.

aariwa:
A criminal mandate thief that couldn’t face a free or fair election from Nigerians saying he faced obstacles. Clown….if February 2023 elections had happened the way every Nigerian including the European Union that gave Mahmoud 400m pounds to conduct electronic free and fair elections….tinubu wouldn’t not have gotten more than 500k votes at most

False!! Most people that voted for Tinubu in 2023 were coy about it. They didn’t go online.

Rules are rules. What’s the point of making rules without enforcing them?

Ineligible players give countries unfair advantages, hence why the rules are made.

Imagine Bukayo Saka or Eze gets drafted for playoff against Congo just like that, won’t Congo be angry?

If Congo gets thrown out for breaking the rules, so be it!!

You should get your acts together as a country.

This is actually a good sign that military is committed to ending terrorism in Nigeria. It shows assets are being deployed to fight criminalities. Accidents and mishaps will happen but keep going. With the new approach set by the president, more military procurements are incoming. I’m sure our new Defence minister will also prioritise training by collaborating with the very best to train our armed forces.

Thank God the pilots safely ejected and God bless Nigeria and its troops.

franchasng:
It's easier said than done.


Take a look at that Church they invaded, does it look like a Church that can afford to hire, train and equip security team that can confront these Muslim Jihadists being sponsored by Nigerian state actors and rich Muslim Arab countries?


That Church is like a community Church with mostly poor villagers struggling to make ends meet.


The buck stops at the desk of Nigeria's President, we cannot exonerate Tinubu or take away his number one Presidential responsibility. He needs to sit up. He should reach out to US President Donald Trump and seek for US military intervention or let him hire competent foreign mercenaries trained on fighting Jihads and Guerrilla wars to come and help Nigeria. There is no shame in calling for help where you are weak.

Easier said than done? How much is AK 47 in the black market? The attackers came with Ak 47, so if churches with all the tithes and offerings they are collecting can’t buy AK 47 for at least 5 members, then close the damn church instead of getting killed like chickens.

Nigeria’s law allow its citizens to carry guns.

After churches have purchased the riffles, all they need to do is train the ushers on how to handle it with some tactical military skills.

They also need to be trained on how to handle suspicious packages , searches, etc.

A terrorist welding an AK 47 only understands one language.

The killings are just too much. It’s beginning to feel like ethnic cleansing of Christians in the north.

All churches across Nigeria should have trained armed guards. Highly trained with better communication gadget.

These terrorists can inflict this terror because the civilians are sitting ducks. They are just soulless mindless individuals that just point guns at helpless folks.

The government won’t protect you, so you might as well protect yourself. In fact, if you are going to church in the north of Nigeria, carry guns with you. Have trained gun men and women as ushers.

Let’s not forget that Donald Trump is quite an unusual President for an American president. We all can see how he treats South Africa, called African countries s-holes and I don’t think he will ever set foot in Africa. He would just have been this way whoever is Nigeria’s president. It’s a different era, so Obasanjo is wrong.

Where was Obi when Soludo was CBN governor? He was quite a successful CBN governor under OBJ.

Soludo has served all Nigerians nationally which Obi’s CV is yet to match.

Obi’s profile is ex Anambra’s governor who unsuccessfully contested for presidency, and that’s Obi’s CV in a nutshell.

While I agree that protecting local refineries is important, what happens if the Dangote refinery breaks down, requires repairs, or faces supply disruptions? A proactive government should maintain strategic reserves of PMS, aviation fuel, diesel, and other essential fuels—stored in silos or depots—sufficient to last at least six months to a year. You won’t want supply disruption around election year, so work with NNPC to build strategic reserves across Nigeria.

What the government should do is upgrade Band A customers to a new category called Band A+. Customers in Band A+ would be guaranteed 24 hours of uninterrupted power supply and would pay an additional fixed charge—for example, ₦10 per 24-hour cycle—on top of their normal tariff. This fixed charge would only apply if the distribution company actually delivers 24 hours of uninterrupted supply. If they fail to do so, the charge should not apply and should instead roll over.

Furthermore, if Band A+ customers experience an outage longer than one hour (excluding faults from the National Grid or TCN), the government should impose penalties on the distribution company—for example, fines of ₦10 million for every hour of outage.

Band B customers should be upgraded to Band A, while only Bands C and D should continue to enjoy subsidy temporarily. This will cut the amount of subsidy significantly and cushion the effect of all these economic reforms on the very poor.

The president has sent a strong message to all Nigerians through this reward that he will actively encourage patriotism.

Also, these girls are rewarded for their handwork and dedication. They are not doing adult contents or soiling Nigeria’s name overseas by trafficking drugs, humans or into prostitution rings.

We should encourage our children that anytime they make Nigeria proud, we will reward them accordingly and Mr President sent a strong message through the hefty rewards.

The reward given to the Super Falcons pales in comparison to the immense value their success brings to Nigeria’s global brand image. Sporting achievements on the world stage significantly enhance a country’s reputation,just as football has long shaped Brazil’s global identity. A strong national brand built through sports can attract increased investor interest and open doors for economic opportunities. It can also serve as a powerful icebreaker in meetings between Nigerian business leaders and international counterparts, where shared admiration for Nigeria’s sporting successes fosters trust, familiarity, and stronger business relationships

Laudable amount. The president is signalling to Nigerians that patriotism is key!

It shows a black man with tonnes of money and access to best healthcare will live long!! This is what all our ex presidents all have access to. 😔

It also shows Nigeria is a stable country politically, because u generally won’t see 7 current and ex presidents alive in unstable countries. Mad coups and assassinations would have cut short their lives, and I hope Nigeria remains this way. 👍🏿


If we fix our healthcare system, we massively improve our road safety( another biggest killer of Nigerians), we will have more elderly population.
