Samantha125: Samantha125:There was nothing like Hausa-Fulani. Hausa was well known by Nigerians until they began the dilution and confusion and now Hausa are fighting for their recognition in their own land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgNQH2Nyu_U

Buhari Remains the Only Sitting President to Have Addressed Nigerians in Hausa — Osuntokun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TJ84gJ4Jes |
The problem with many of you is that you cannot think for yourself. Just last week, it was Geh Geh they blamed. I want to let you know why voters age is set at 18. They expect you to have enough maturity for decision making and taking accountability for your actions. I deliberately asked AI what is the most important question Nigerians should ask for the 2027 elections 👇 For Nigerians, that question is: "Will this candidate build public institutions that work for everyone, or will they only enrich their own network?" It takes 18 years to reach this because understanding how systemic corruption, ethnic politics, and economic policies impact daily survival requires a mature mind capable of looking past short-term tribal loyalty or financial handouts.

givedemwotowoto:Yes but not necessarily the reason. That generation understood the importance of having family and a home. Marriage was more respected than today. Women then married 3-4x but they still understood the importance of a family and parents. A man who did not show up to his family or any woman he put in the family way was ostracized or chastised. It was a thing of shame because the society condemned irresponsibility. Today, people think baby mama and baby dada or open marriage will fix things 🤡 Sheybi na just to born pikin? Why must you marry to do that Life go humble them |
It's biology and age has to do with it. It's not me of today that started it, go and find out how old your grandparents were. Men want the virginity and innocence of a woman. It gives them something to die for. Something must kill a man ![]() https://www.tiktok.com/video/7558155201509641527?lang=en Guess who hates women who are younger and attractive to older men but they lie and blame patriarchy? Older women! They have so much grudge to carry that the young girls don't have (yet).

Mariangeles:It's concerning the damage we are doing to these kids' psyche and this is not about Tinubu perse. From top to bottom, most of them in public conduct are not behaving as they should. It's sad.

Africans are very funny people. I wish their marriage the best. What I observe about us is that we are not sure of our identity, that's why we do different things. As a Yoruba man, there is already marriage tradition and rites to be performed for marriages and in Yoruba land, marriage is between families. The phrase "My sheikh bless peller and his wife Jarvis" is not only absurd, it's a sign of confusion. Okay, I won't take it that seriously, let's assume he is using that word casually but we must get off this idea that pastors or imams are indigenous to traditional African culture of marriage. The true officials of an African marriage are the elders, parents, and lineage heads of the two families. They negotiate, accept the bride price, and legally seal the union through mutual consent. I am not telling you to not go to your church, mosque or wherever. You can respect your religion but when something happens in the marriage, because we have abandoned our culture, we will now start going to social media, television, imams, pastors and people who do not have your best interest at heart. Family is everything! Because the entire family was involved in the marriage negotiations and the bride price, the family feels ownership of the marriage's success. If a husband mistreats his wife, the wife's family will step in, and the husband's own elders will reprimand him to protect the family's honor. Because the community invested time, wealth, and energy into bringing the couple together, they will not easily sit back and watch the marriage fail. Women should be careful to not let strangers be in charge of their marriage or their man. |
It is an attempt to condition the public to believe that accountability through debate is irrelevant to winning or holding power in Nigeria. simpleseyi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzIlARnFCIM Now DT is unstable? You guys don't know what you are saying. If I use Macron his friend's house he likes to go to, you will say he is younger than Tinubu.

I agree with him on this and he too should expect it if he wins. Same thing for Atiku Staying silent only works when people have food on the table. In a poverty situation, hungry and angry citizens stop seeing that silence as a smart strategy, they start to see it as arrogance, cowardice, and absolute proof that the government has failed them. Buhari hardly talked to us for 8 years so what did we expect? They shielded him during campaign. He sent Osinbajo in 2019 to talk for him. Atiku is doing that same thing that's why I will not continue with their set. They want to become Kings that someone will be speaking for them instead of us to know what is really in their minds. The APC is completely avoiding live media interviews because they are terrified of their own medicine. Back when the PDP was in power, the APC watched every live interview closely and used the PDP's mistakes to destroy their reputation. Now that they are in charge, they are scared the exact same thing will happen to them. They know how dangerous a live mistake can be, so they completely avoid the microphone. They prefer controlled environments but people can see through it. Instead of talking to everyday people, they hide behind official spokespersons and online PR teams who post carefully typed statements. When a government refuses to answer live questions, people start guessing what is going on behind closed doors. This lack of transparency has caused public distrust to reach an all-time high, making people believe the government is hiding massive failures. Pay attention to how they are making public discourse about our governance cho cho cho or so-called content creation. It is an attempt to convince the voter to Ignore what people are saying, focus only on the fact that we hold the levers of state power. It is an attempt to condition the public to believe that accountability through debate is irrelevant to winning or holding power in Nigeria. They don't want any form of accountability and it's not Obi or Atiku that will suffer, if they get away with this new style for 12+ years, it will he tough to make these guys respect us going forward.

humberjade:My friend, you can't ignore your neighbors. At least that's something you have in common. They are fighting Boko Haram with us. The way the guy in the post doesn't know much about Nigerian, Nigerians too don't know much about their neighbours. They will rather travel to France or UK than visit African countries. Obasanjo you quoted there na him give Bakassi to Biya government. Go to Cross River State and you'll see much in common at the border. |
humberjade:What we don't know is more than what we think we know. ![]() We have much in common than you think - wetin consain us with Cameroon? Their president is also the longest serving ruler in Africa and an inspiration to some people ![]()

humberjade:Do you know why they say Atiku is not a Nigerian but from Cameroon? Part of it is our shared history. The original 19th-century Adamawa Emirate was a territory that covered parts of northeastern Nigeria and much of what is now northern Cameroon. Colonial partitioning by the British and Germans split the historic region right down the middle. Later, following a UN plebiscite at independence, parts of British Cameroons voted to permanently join Nigeria, which is why those borderlands and the shared culture are part of Nigeria's Adamawa today. Let me humor you. Political scientists often recognize the NCNC as Nigeria's first political party with a truly national and cross-regional appeal, rather than just being localized to Lagos. What is the meaning of NCNC? National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons. Founded in 1944 by Herbert Macaulay and Nnamdi Azikiwe as a joint nationalist front to fight British colonial rule.

A Camerooonian wore the Super Eagles jersey to Nigeria? That's an indomitable feat ![]() Travel is good sha. Most of us here sit down and judge without travelling. Travel is education. Please learn from those who have travelled, the only problem is that people lie lambastically online because...

Svoboda:Ignoring the Ronaldo and Messi debate to stay on reality. While 23 million active participants are a drop in a global viewership of 2 billion, they cannot be ignored because passive watchers do not drive results. Just like millions will tune into Big Brother, only a fraction take the time to vote. People seek entertainment for fun and escape. Civic participation (like voting) feels like a chore or a serious responsibility, which naturally attracts fewer people. Some watched the final to see Shakira, Burna Boy or whatever interests them. They don't have active interest and wouldn't bother to vote about anything football. Heck, football is not even an American thing so you cannot dismiss that 23 million petition. In fact the highest number they got on the site is 24 million. Out of hundreds of thousands of petitions created on Change.org, the vast majority never even cross 500 signatures. According to Change.org's Petition Guides, a campaign crossing 100,000 signatures is already considered a major, news-making milestone capable of forcing a corporate or government response. Let me make one final comparison, out of our 93,469,008 registered voters in the 2023 Nigerian presidential election, only 24,965,218 people actually voted. |
I have no problem with the event even though my reservations are there. What I have a problem with is using state resources for political campaigns. You can see the men wearing 2027 caps and APC flags at the event. This is nothing but bribery and vote buying. In a proper democracy, there must be a clear separation between the State and the Party. Flying APC flags at the event signals to us that the benefits are coming from the political party, not the government. See how APC is turning public service into a party campaign rally. Sad sad state of affairs ![]() |
oz4real83:Exactly. Look at the comment of one them, just because of political differences, he says people should be stoned to death. I don't want that kind of politics in Nigeria abeg. We had enough during Obasanjo's time with political assassinations, it's worse if the people at the bottom now embrace thuggery and violence because of a tenured post. In a serious country, the major candidates should be preparing for political debates. Atiku, Obi, Tinubu but this mass psyop to distract us cannot work. By labeling opposition criticism and media questioning as empty chatter, the ruling party attempts to signal to the electorate that talk is cheap, weak, and effeminate, while silent execution of power is strong and masculine. It tells the voter to Ignore what people are saying, focus only on the fact that we hold the levers of state power. It is an attempt to condition the public to believe that accountability through debate is irrelevant to winning or holding power in Nigeria. |

honor4me:But your name does not appear on the ballot papers, we vote for the party. Highest is campaign poster if you don't win and INEC forms which are not made public. |
Yesterday I wrote something about this new trend of Cho Cho cho OverCalculating:Let him talk to us. Let Tinubu and Atiku also talk to us directly. You cannot claim to want to lead us and you will be going through emisarries. Let them make their mistakes themselves. Buhari will talk during his time, 4 different people will interpret what he said. We can't be having presidents who behave like Oracles, which we all know is a way to shield their incompetency and lies. The sycophants around him will then say it is silent achiever. If we had pressed Buhari well, we would have known he was not fit for office since, man was sick and made us spend our money taking care of him. They never want those interviews. Come on SixSeven:

Smartjeezy01:I've been noticing this chochocho cannot win elections. While it is masked in a way to mean that online rants cannot do anything, it is also a deeper way to avoid political debates by the APC. APC is not interested in people discussing politics, they want to bully everyone into silence. APC presidential candidates have been shielded from hard questions. The other time, Tinubu said his teamship will speak for him. He also said na statistics we go chop? These are just a few ways to evade accountability and a challenge to discuss what you want to do.

This is nothing but bad behavior but how low have we come that we say BOLDLY ![]() Emotional intelligence (EQ) means knowing the right time and place to express your feelings. This core skill known as self-regulation or self-management helps you pause, control sudden urges, and share your emotions in a healthy, helpful way instead of reacting right away.

Fiscus105:My friend, the point was about what we choose to reward as a society, not whether everyone should excel academically. You have managed to argue against a point that wasn't made ![]() |
EhisChelsea1:You, my friend have missed the point. You are talking about profit, I was talking about what society chooses to celebrate. Those are two completely different things. Rewarding a spelling champion is about encouraging academic excellence, not turning a profit. If BBNaija makes ₦12 billion, then the prize money is a commercial decision. The fact that both prizes are paid in money doesn't mean they are rewarding the same thing. One is paying for commercial success while the other is recognising intellectual achievement. Same currency, different values. |
Risingblue008:Take advice, but don't hesitate to do what you know is right. Don't build your values around influencers or public figures. The version you see online is only part of the story, and when their private lives come to light, disappointment often follows. Those who place their faith in personalities will be shaken when masks fall but those who place it in principles remain unmoved. Take counsel from many, but give your loyalty only to virtue. Learn from people, but always think for yourself. People always look for principles in others but themselves! |
Iamdbull:It's not too much. It's better than someone frolicking in a house for 90 days please. If rewarding a spelling champion seems excessive, perhaps we have simply become accustomed to overpaying for people whose greatest achievement is surviving a reality TV eviction. |
It was in the news recently. In February 2026, China executed four leaders of the notorious Bai family criminal syndicate via the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court. They operated massive, violent cyber-fraud and drug trafficking compounds out of northern Myanmar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwnDRyx1bcM This followed the mass execution of 11 members linked to the brutal Ming Family Syndicate. The mafia clan ran illegal operations generating over $1.4 billion USD, ruthlessly killing workers who attempted to escape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgSAsRxBPEo Why is China so rough on drug trafficking? In the 1800s, British merchants flooded China with opium to fix a massive trade deficit caused by Western demand for Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain. When the Qing Emperor tried to ban the drug and destroy British stockpiles in Guangzhou, Great Britain used its superior navy to launch the First Opium War (1839-1842). China lost severely, leading to the Century of Humiliation. They were forced to sign unequal treaties, cede Hong Kong to Britain, open their ports to foreign dominance, and legally tolerate the drug trade. By the late 1890s, an estimated 15 million Chinese citizens were addicted to opium, crippling the economy, military readiness, and social fabric of the nation. When Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took power in 1949, one of their foundational promises to solidify legitimacy was the total eradication of the drug trade. Narcotics were explicitly linked to foreign imperialism and domestic weakness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVeS6VBOux4 |
One day you abuse Buhari Another day you embrace Buhari Omo wetin dead man no go collect ehhh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2kmeucCGAc

Omoawoke:I think the broader topic is how the society has refused to use the talents we have. What he is saying is not entirely wrong, it's just the basis and conclusion. Everyone has a role to play in the country. Because everything in Nigeria has been reduced to money and materiality, people no longer look at the systemic values and what each person can do in the system. Brain drain did not start today and there is a reason why the West takes the best of us and we are left with the rest ![]()
People have said that this particular government seems to want education destroyed and there is a constant attack on the value of education but color me pink - their kids school abroad. They don't even hide it, they now post pictures of their graduation ceremonies. It is easy to control a population who are not just educated but properly educated and hungry.
