The problem isn’t that Tinubu is heartless, he has a league of foolish people in both his government and follower-ship. He came not to make anything better but threw us 20 years behind. The problem is that this guy can’t even say anything reasonable when asked about important issues. It’s damn annoying.
SixSeven: What's the gang up? I thought they said the South was a done deal
Didn't he just get 11 million votes? What they are preparing for in 2027 is to add other votes, they will call it "all the wonderful people of Nigeria who love the APC".
10.9 million APC votes + APC loving Nigerians grin
In real-world human data, a minor challenger will almost always accidentally or intentionally secure a handful of votes across thousands of polling locations due to local protest votes, errors, or family ties. Perfect "zero-vote" sweeps across massive populations are a classic hallmark of data that has been manually written into a spreadsheet rather than organically counted from ballot boxes. In 2019, the total number of delegates who voted for and against Ambode (1,043,754) was more than the number of votes in the election (956,220).
Buhari is indeed underrated as a democrat. He was not a good President but I must give him credit for being a democrat. He indeed was for everybody and for nobody. Except Lawan This his friend has been so interested in politics from Day 1, to govern de hard am
City boys go chop him money still mobilise against am.
1. The cold is not just weather. It is a personality. It will change you. 2. You will spend the first 3 months converting every price to naira. Stop. You will not survive. 3. Nigerian food exists here but it will cost you emotionally and financially. 4. You will miss the most random things — the noise, the heat, the fact that someone is always around. 5. Sending things home is harder than it should be. Finding a reliable cargo service is a genuine life skill. 6. Your Nigerian friends here will become your family faster than you expect. 7. The NHS is genuinely free and it will confuse you every single time. 8. You will buy a coat, think it's enough, and be humbled by February.
What else would you add? And for number 5 — anyone use REDS (usereds.com)? Curious if others have tried them for UK→Nigeria and Nigeria→UK cargo.
When you write finish you tell me why una no get office for Dundee for items going to Nigeria.

Join NDC. Use Rivers Money fight Wike to stand still. Men dey creek, enter creek and empower boys that's same thing Wike did during time. Nobody go tell Wike to comot body. But fubara said no and chickened out like a weakling he is. Wike is vile because he has not met his match. Let it be an eye for an eye. May Fubara never happen to Rivers State again.
shortgun: Omo, from what I am seeing in Rivers State currently on ground, Fubara is gone. He's not coming back as governor. The man is not a politician and should have no business with politics
AmeboFeeds: RIVERS 2027: HOW PROVEN LOYALTY IS SPEAKING FOR KINGSLEY CHIDA
By Thomas Taribo
There are two types of loyalty; true loyalty and strategic loyalty. True loyalty is rare, and unambitious. True loyalty is unsaleable, it stays when all else leaves, because it has no exit clause, and convenience, but strategic loyalty is common because it’s rational, and transactional.
In politics, you need both to win. But when the fight gets real, only true loyalty stays. Howbeit , structurally, transactional loyalty leads to structural collapse. Evidentially , those who hold the structure of 2027, are those who did not scatter in 2023. However, loyalty is never one-sided, although it is not entrenched in keeping scores, it is designed to create reciprocal bonds.
True loyalty, the type demonstrated by Rt. Hon. Kingsley Chida in Rivers State works quietly, protectively, and defensively, without exposing or taking the credit.
Rt. Hon. Chida, understands from the onset that there are certain things that cannot be rushed without breaking them. That is why he can wait till eternity, removing the pressure that leads to the temptation of compromise, acknowledging also that any person who can wait till eternity does not need to lobby for tomorrow, for tomorrow naturally will come to him.
A man of uncommon fidelity, Rt. Hon. Chida builds trust, and keeps to his words, never betraying anyone.
His life of consistency gets him noticed, instead of lobbying, or negotiating, Rt. Hon. Chida choose silence, that type of silence that is strategic and unambitious.
Neither does he switch when the wind changes its direction, waiting for, what will be, to be, without leverage. Little wonder then that the structure remembers him. Indeed, Rt. Hon. OK Chida, matters more than the loudest campaigner.
While most politicians are screaming ahead of the 2027 election, heating up the polity, especially in Rivers States, with posters ablazing, forming camps, and running the race of relevance, one man stands out, chosing a different path, not chasing the microphones, nor cutting deals in the dark, but waiting, watching , and remaining truly loyal.
An unambitious personality, Rt. Hon. OK Chida, never pushes his name into every conversation, or threatens to walk away when he does not get his way.
In a state where loyalty is often transactional, Rt. Hon. Chida’s consistency stands out. His allegiance to the FCT Minister is not new, not seasonal, not convenient. It predates the current offices, the current titles, the current relevance. He has stayed when it was politically risky, and he has stayed when it became politically rewarding. This certainly is the difference between a fair-weather supporter and a proven ally.
A man of unbroken reputation, Rt. Hon. Chida walks with an unblemish, and unrivaled currency in Rivers' State politics, "OK Chida has never betrayed anyone since he was born.”
This currency becomes even more unequal considering the fact that historically, betrayal in the politics of Rivers State is the default story. Alliances shift with every cabinet reshuffle, turning yesterday’s foot soldiers into today’s critics.
Around Chief Wike's camp, among old Port Harcourt political hands, and even within the oppositions and traducers, the overwhelming consensus of opinion is the same; Rt. Hon. Chida keeps his word, without any leak, or double-dealing. In a system built on distrust, this kind of reputation is leverage in itself.
As we climax into Rivers 2027, the battle cannot be won by the loudest voice or the heaviest spender alone. It will be won by trust. Trust between leaders and their base. Trust between allies who have been tested.
The FCT Minister’s political structure in Rivers is built on people who have proven they will not scatter at the first sign of pressure. In that structure, loyalty is currency, and Rt. Hon. OK Chida has paid in full, over years, without demanding interest.
He may not be on every billboard. He may not be in every WhatsApp group making noise about 2027. But in the rooms where decisions are made, proven loyalty speaks louder than ambition.
There is a lesson here for Rivers politics. Not everyone has to be in a hurry. Not everyone has to force their way into relevance. Sometimes, the most strategic move is to be known as the one person who refused to break rank.
For Rt. Hon. Kingsley Chida, that reputation is already speaking. And in 2027, when the dust settles and the real structure matters more than the noise, that voice will be heard.
Rivers has had enough of fair-weather politicians. What it needs now are men who stay when it is inconvenient, and Rt. Hon. OK Chida is one of them.

No go find wetin you go do with your life. Dey hear Dey type nonsense. As the state don enter Una hand make Una use am do wetin Una like. One thing I know is that development will always be far from Rivers State since that’s what you guys want with your useless Wike.

2019, Desmond Elliot lost election in Surulere. The winner of that Election was the PDP candidate but Nigeria as we know happened to the guy. I participated in that election as a NYSC member. You see this man who calls himself the president of Nigeria? He’s as terrible as his unknown identity. Bunch of crooks. Sometimes you feel why things are the way they are in Nigeria, not forgetting that these same individuals will do the wrong things and then come on live tv to sound like they are saints. Desmond Elliot is one hell of a wrong human being.
Gjrich: Pascal Okechukwu, a.k.a. Cubana Chief Priest, scored just 14 votes out of 2,845 total voters in the APC primary for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency House of Representatives seat in Imo State.
He lost to the incumbent, Hon. Canice Moore Nwachukwu (Omeogo), who secured the ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.
He promised Bola Ahmed Tinubu millions of Igbo votes and swore to teach Peter Obi politics. Yet, out of nearly 3,000 votes cast in the APC primary, he got only 14.
14 votes ooo. And this is the man who promised to carry all Igbo votes in a basket and deliver them to Tinubu in 2027 as the South East “City Boy” coordinator.
To God eh, if this guy doesn’t suffer for 600 years, I don’t know what will.
Very stvpid man who is sitting as a Governor. Fubara had all the money to deal with Wike but decided to be stvpid. What annoys me is fact he made some of these guys who lost today believe he could fight but then no know say fubara na confirmed Akamu.
FreeNaijaII: So my friend proposed to his longtime girlfriend of 3 years this month.
They are already planning to go and see her parents later next month and to also get a date for the wedding sometime in December this year.
They don't always have issues, and anytime they do, they will resolve it within a day or so.
So, my friend saw his fiancée's comment on Instagram validating Frank Edoho's ex-wife opening her legs to Chike (another man) while married to Mr. Edoho.
In her argument, she said that she was right to open her legs to another man because Frank confessed that he keeps malice as a form of punishment.
For the sake of anonymity, I can't share the screenshot here.
He (my guy) has already made up his mind to quit the relationship because he sees her comment as a red flag that should not be ignored.
I tried to talk him out of it, but it seems his mind is made up.
What can I do to help?
Call off oo. No sign of weakness. If you snooze in this generation, you lose.
Dpsychologist: 5 Myths About Love Many Nigerians Grow Up Believing
The older I get, the more I realize that love is one of the most beautiful things in life… and also one of the most dangerous things when you don’t understand it properly.
A lot of us were raised on fairy tales, Nollywood fantasies, church slogans, relationship quotes and heartbreak songs.
We were taught that love conquers all.But real life in Nigeria will humble that belief very quickly. Most times love is not what destroys people it is the lies people believe about love.
Let’s talk honestly.
1. “Love Is Enough”
This is probably the biggest lie people keep repeating.
Love is important, yes. But love alone cannot carry a relationship where there is no stability, no emotional maturity, no discipline, no direction and no peace.
Love doesn’t pay hospital bills. Love doesn’t remove frustration from unemployment. Love doesn’t automatically fix anger issues, cheating, irresponsibility or addiction.
Many couples genuinely love themselves but still suffer badly together because life pressure is stronger than feelings.
Anybody who has experienced financial hardship inside a relationship understands this deeply.
You can love somebody and still be miserable together.
2. “If Somebody Truly Loves You, They Will Never Hurt You”
This one sounds sweet until life teaches you otherwise.
Human beings are flawed.
People can genuinely love you and still disappoint you because of weakness, immaturity, trauma, temptation, selfishness or poor decisions.
A woman can love a man and still disrespect him during anger. A man can love a woman and still cheat. Love does not automatically remove human flaws.
This is why character matters more than mere emotions because emotions change quickly. Character is what remains when emotions cool down.
3. “Suffering Together Means The Love Is Real”
Nigeria especially romanticizes struggle too much. You’ll see two people drowning financially, emotionally exhausted, fighting every week, but they’ll still say: “At least we love each other.”
Love is not supposed to become permanent suffering. Please don't get me wrong in this. However, many people stay in bad relationships because they think endurance automatically means loyalty.
No.
Sometimes you are not enduring love. You are enduring dysfunction. Real love should add peace to your life, not remove your sanity completely.
4. “Women Love The Same Way Men Do”
This conversation always makes people emotional, but let’s be honest.
Men and women are not wired exactly the same when it comes to attraction and relationships.
A lot of men can stay emotionally attached even while struggling financially. But many women start losing attraction when a man becomes unstable for too long financially, mentally or socially.
That doesn’t always make women evil.
A lot of women grew up watching suffering closely. They saw their mothers struggle. They saw poverty destroy homes. So security affects attraction for many of them whether people admit it or not.
This is why many men get shocked when a woman who once sounded deeply in love suddenly changes after prolonged hardship.
Painful reality, but that's the reality.
5. “Marriage Automatically Guarantees Happiness”
Marriage is not magic. It does not suddenly heal loneliness, immaturity, trauma or confusion.
Some people are deeply unhappy inside marriage but cannot leave because of children, religion, shame, finances or society.
Some married people secretly miss the peace they had while single.
Marriage only amplifies who both people already are. If two emotionally unhealthy people marry each other, the wedding ring will not suddenly create wisdom. That’s why choosing well matters more than simply marrying quickly.
One painful thing I’ve noticed is this:
Many Nigerians are not actually taught how relationships work.We are only taught how to desire relationships.
So people enter relationships with fantasies and leave with trauma.
The truth is Love is beautiful, very beautiful. But love without wisdom can destroy your finances, mental health, confidence and future. That’s why as I grow older, I no longer ask: “Who loves me the most?”
I ask: “Who is emotionally healthy? Who is consistent? Who brings peace? Who has discipline? Who has values? Who can build with me during both comfort and hardship?”
Attraction can start relationships but wisdom is what sustains them and honestly, many Nigerians need relationship education more than relationship motivation.
Some heartbreaks are avoidable from the beginning if people simply understood human nature better.
irumole1975: What are Nigerians in this situation doing right now? Nigerians have been banned from seeking work permit in America. From working. From seeking permanent residency. The only option given by the international student office is to leave for a while.
naptu2: Abdul Aminu Mahmud attended the University of Jos and he was one of the student activists that took part in the 1989 SAP riots (the second SAP riot). He became president of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in 1990.
He acted as an adviser to the students that organised the 1992 SAP riots (the third SAP riot). He was arrested and detained many times by the Babangida Administration.
Abdul Mahmud is a lawyer and he used his NGO, Public Interest Lawyers League, to defend a lot of social media users that were detained by the Buhari Administration (2015 - 2023).
Abdul Mahmud Aminu supported Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential elections (he was an Obidient), but he fell out with the Obidients during the 2024 Edo governorship election season.
Obidients that were from Edo State said that they had a zoning arrangement in Edo State.
They explained that Lucky Igbinedion from Edo South had eight years as Governor, Oserheimen Osunbor from Edo Central had eighteen months, Adams Oshiomhole from Edo North had eight years and the incumbent Godwin Obaseki from Edo South. They said that it was therefore the turn of Edo Central to produce the governor.
They said that APC produced someone from Edo Central, Senator Monday Okpebholo, as candidate, PDP produced someone from Edo Central, Dr Asue Ighodalo, as candidate and "other serious parties produced candidates from Edo Central", but the Labour Party produced a candidate from Edo South, Olumide Akpata. (Some of them insinuated that money exchanged hands in the LP primary).
They said that Olumide Akpata was from the same zone as Governor Godwin Obaseki and it would be unfair if he was elected governor. They said that they could not support him and they could not support APC, so they therefore supported Assue Ighodalo of the PDP. They called themselves Obidients for Assue.
This led to a civil war in the Obidient Movement. Some Obidients said that the Obidients for Assue had been paid to divide Obidient votes, while the Obidients for Assue said that the other Obidients did not know or understand the norms in Edo State.
Abdul Mahmud supported Assue Ighodalo and had serious arguments with Obidients back then.
He returned to the Obidient fold and supported Peter Obi in the ADC and NDC.
Its true that everyone has a price tag but woe unto you if your price tag is crumbs. From Sowore down to D'oracle they are all Cashvitists. I told someone few months ago that there are no true activists in Nigeria. They are all after their own gain. From being sponsored by unknown faces to their so called arrests. All fake. True activism in Nigeria died a long time ago, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Yinka Odumakin etc.

Something happened today that has really made me question myself as a man, and I sincerely need honest advice from mature minds here.
Earlier today, my younger one went to the field to play football. After some time, he came back home crying seriously with blood rushing from his head. According to him, he had an altercation with someone much bigger than him, and the person picked up a stick and hit him on the head.
Immediately, I became angry and asked him to take me to the field to identify the person that injured him. Deep down, I was expecting myself to react aggressively because I felt any normal man would naturally defend his younger one and confront the person strongly.
When we got there and I saw the guy, something happened to me. Instead of fighting or causing a serious scene, I just started asking questions about what happened. I couldn’t bring myself to react violently or aggressively the way many people probably would have. I eventually carried my younger one and went back home.
Since then, I have been feeling ashamed and disappointed in myself.
The painful part is that this is not the first time I have noticed this about myself. I always seem to avoid problems, confrontations, or situations that may escalate. Even when I am angry, I still start thinking about consequences, expenses, police issues, public embarrassment, injuries, and other complications that may arise if things get out of hand.
Because of this, I often withdraw instead of standing my ground fully.
Now I am beginning to feel like I am too timid and not confrontational enough as a man should be. Sometimes I feel weak, powerless, and unable to command respect the way other men do. I see some people react boldly in difficult situations while I keep overthinking consequences and avoiding escalation.
Honestly, it is affecting the way I see myself.
Please, I need sincere advice from experienced people here:
- How can someone stop being too timid or fearful? - How do you become more confident and confrontational when necessary? - How do you stand your ground as a man without always retreating? - Is this kind of behavior weakness, or is there another way to look at it? - What practical things can I start doing to become mentally stronger and more assertive?
I would genuinely appreciate honest advice, especially from men who may have struggled with similar issues before overcoming them.
Keep listening to all these dialogue this and that don't man up. One day someone will harm your child or wife and you'll go and dialogue right? A man should have a touch of violence. Have something that someone else would fear and think about before harming anyone close to you. There is no man that has ever survived being a dummy.
Someone harmed your bro and all you could do is going to ask questions. What if your bro died?
A lot of people have given up on Fubara. He fvkkd up big time. If you must fight, fight till the end don't be blowing hot and cold. If Fubara likes he should stay there and watch Wike useless his tenure.
