Interesting that some conspiracy theorist are calling this a false flag. Not surprised though, there are some deluded people who think October 7 was staged.

No one believes this

Americans are laughing so hard at Israel for the stupidity to do something like this, hoping that Americans will be deceived once again by jeew propaganda false flag

I mean…

This is so stupid

Jonathan is the Surname just like Buhari or Tinubu.

Calling a sitting president by the first name is the bone of contention.

Everyone calls Jonathan, yaradua, Buhari and Tinubu, but not Good luck, Musa, Muhammadu nor Bola.

It is disrespectful to address a president by his first name.

Everyone calls the American president Trump and not Donald

Bola, the man w/o a prefix or suffix to his Bola has told you he is the best man for the job

Eedris will regret that statement in the coming years.

Same way he released a useless track During Obasanjo era

Mr Kila said the European Centre for Advanced and Professional Studies (ECAPS) awarded him the professorship. But this newspaper found that the institution is non-existent, present only in Mr Kila’s profile.

The CIAPS website, through which Mr Kila made several suspicious claims about himself and his business, was unreachable in the past few days. That was after our reporter confronted him with our findings.

The website was repeatedly edited, with Mr Kila’s misleading profile initially removed, before it was eventually taken offline.

During her husband's presidency (2010–2015), critics frequently accused her of overstepping her constitutional boundaries by trying to dictate political appointments and warring with state governors, notably Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State.

Maybe our people choose to have selective memory. While addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters at a rally in Calabar, she explicitly told the crowd to assault political opponents who campaigned under the slogan of "change". She openly stated, "Anybody that tells you change, stone that person."

In 2012, the Governor of Bayelsa State abruptly appointed her as a Permanent Secretary in the state's civil service. This sparked widespread public outrage, with critics calling it a "national embarrassment" and a textbook example of nepotism, given that she had been away from active civil service for over 13 years.


Buhari's own is recent except people still want to have selective amnesia.

Turai and Stella were silent in their own style but no one can forget the role of Turai when her husband was AWOL. When President Yar'Adua was hospitalized for months in Saudi Arabia between 2009 and 2010, Turai strictly controlled all physical and information access to him. She blocked senior government officials, including the Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan from seeing or speaking to the President.

Why We Seized Turai Yar’adua’s Land - Abuja Minister
https://www.nairaland.com/1278999/why-seized-turais-land-minister#15550811

In 2008, Turai used her position to host a massive high- society fundraiser for her NGO to build an International Cancer Centre in Abuja. Billions of Naira were donated by state governors, wealthy businessmen, and government contractors. Decades later, the project remains a ghost town. The multi-billion-naira facility was abandoned, and hundreds of vehicles and specialized medical equipment bought with public and donated funds were left to rust away. Investigative journalists and government health ministries launched probes into the project, questioning how billions vanished while ordinary Nigerians continued to fly abroad for cancer treatments. In the final days of her husband's administration in 2010, the land was allocated to Turai's NGO, the Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYEF). Later, the government revoked it, claiming it was public land meant for the African First Ladies Peace Mission. It was subsequently handed over to her successor, Patience Jonathan. Turai sued the sitting government and Patience Jonathan, refusing alternative land offers. In 2013, the court ruled in Turai's favor. The FCT Minister publicly blasted her, accusing her of using her twilight days as First Lady to illegally convert public institutional land for personal NGO use.


The biggest political scandal tied directly to Stella Obasanjo broke in early 2005, regarding the privatization of federal government property in Lagos. An anonymous whistleblower revealed that 207 prime government-owned properties in luxury estates like Ikoyi were being sold quietly at highly reduced, non-market prices to top officials. To the deep embarrassment of President Obasanjo-who had campaigned heavily on an anti-corruption platform-almost the entire Abebe family (Stella's maiden family) was discovered on the list of secret buyers. President Obasanjo was forced to publicly cancel the entire housing deal and summarily fired his Minister of Housing, Mobolaji Osomo, for mishandling the allocations. Newspaper editors who labeled her "Greedy Stella" over the affair were arrested by state security, causing a massive free-speech outcry.

Unlike previous administrations where the wives of the Vice President and state governors enjoyed prominent public platforms, Stella was heavily criticized for attempting to centralize all female political power in Nigeria under herself. In 2003, she summoned the wives of all 36 state governors to Abuja and explicitly declared, "There is only one First Lady in Nigeria." She banned them from using the title "First Lady" within their respective states, ordering them to restrict themselves to "Wife of the Governor." Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and other civil rights activists fiercely criticized her behavior. Soyinka denounced her as "arrogant" and publicly urged President Obasanjo to restrain his wife's unconstitutional excesses, calling the office of the First Lady an ostentatious, vulgar carry-over from military dictatorship.

Tragically, on October 23, 2005, Stella died at the age of 59 due to severe surgical malpractice. Her death itself became a flashpoint for intense public criticism regarding the elite's behavior. The irony of her death was not lost in sight when it was revealed that she had secretly flown to Marbella, Spain, to undergo an elective cosmetic surgery (liposuction) right before her 60th birthday (Her Spanish surgeon was later convicted of negligent homicide after puncturing her internal organs and leaving her unattended for hours).

The Nigerian public reacted with a mixture of grief and anger. Critics noted the tragic irony that while ordinary Nigerians were suffering under a collapsing national healthcare system, the First Lady flew to an expensive European resort town for an elective aesthetic procedure.

Since Abacha died, we have had a first lady die, a president fall ill, another president fall ill, a president's wife (Aisha) complain about state hospital but the country never learns, it's just one person who takes over after the next and nothing changes.

Please continue to post facts that this olodo uprising will refuse to do a simple google search on their phone and be pushing ideas in their head without verification. You don't even need to be alive at that time but simple search will save you. I am not interested in the women because they are spouses to the person we elected. They have no business with us and while Buhari was criticized for saying his wife belonged to the kitchen and other room, maybe he knew what he meant. If that's the way he wanted his wife to be, who knows her better than he does? Because all the Aso Rock trouble we heard after that was enough to understand the statement. Anyway, there is no office of the first lady and we need to stop indulging them. It's corruption and no one will want to touch the President's wife but we must give commendation to Obasanjo for how he handled the Ikoyi houses allocation scandal. When the whistleblower leaked the list of secret buyers, revealing that almost the entire Abebe family (his wife Stella's relatives) had been allocated prime government property at heavily discounted prices, Obasanjo did not attempt a cover-up. Despite the immense pressure it put on his marriage, he immediately canceled the entire luxury housing deal. To prove his anti-corruption drive wasn't just rhetoric, Obasanjo immediately fired his Minister of Housing, Mobolaji Osomo, for allowing the non-transparent, nepotistic allocation process to happen in the first place. He made it clear that nobody-regardless of their connections to the First Lady was above the law.


Again, I want that office removed although it does not exist because we feed it oxygen. I can commend all the first ladies for their NGOs and empowerment schemes but I also consider those things as conduit pipe to siphon state money indirectly. They can be an interference to the Ministry of Women's affairs. IYKYK

AkhereOkaka:
You're apt, they prefer free money without the dignity of labour. Have lived in Milan for 6years counting, you see them in front of super market and other busy areas begging. You feel ashame cause these are able body human being without any disability.



We rise by lifting others

hahn:
Well, you are right even though your point is actually obvious.

Your points would have been even more valid if I had said that the beggar in Canada earns more than the doctor in CANADA.

The point is that Nigerians are extremely underpaid.

Of course, Nigerian doctors who travel abroad to continue with their practice earn a whole lot more than than they ever expected.

However, what we can't argue is that Nigeria is indeed royally ####

hahn:
I said, "beggars in Canada earn more than doctors in NIGERIA"

Read before jumping to argue

Maybe you should pull up the same stats for careers in Nigeria so we can further compare

eleko1:
Very very true.Some of these beggars in Nigeria too aren't poor.Some have built their personal house,train their children from the begging proceeds.

nairalanda1:
That's because Canada and Italy do something Nigeria does...be productive industrial naitons.

You cannot have the lifestyle and economy and currency of a Canada or Italy on just selling oil from less than 2 million barrels and sharing it equitably among 237 million people.

If Nigeria was making and exporting electronics, consumer goods, armaments, cars, trucks and aeroplanes and a host of other things, we may have been prospeorous enough to have a really strong currency...by now N1 would be one dollar , and it would be a genuine parity.

Trying to live like Canada and Italy on our limited revenue is why we are where we are and have always been today, a broke naiton with a very tiny middle class, and even tinier upper class.

But many of you do not vote for leaders that would make us productive, you vote for tinubu that would share money from bullion van for you on election day, or similar type politicans, and you support polices that encourage money sharing, instead of improved produictivity.

hahn:
A friend in Canada once told me that a beggar in Canada earns more than a doctor in Nigeria.

Nigeria is royally ####

Greenback:
A woman who loves and respects her husband will not think about those sht if she earns more than him....a good and respectful woman will support her husband no matter what...she will do all she can to cover up for him...moreso this man will not even wait for or depend on her as he will still play his role regardless of the discrepancy

jaxxy:
The US government corription is saintly compared to places like iran, russia, ukraine, south africa, zimbabwe and nigeria.

Atleast the US has checks to counter and address corruption 70%.

Whatever is the case, a regime that rejects statistics should not be directly or indirectly defended with statistics.
