Tinubu missed the opportunity of releasing MNK longtime after he grabbed power but instead wanted to use him to play politics to get southeast votes.
Now the world is watching how the Nigerian government will jail someone fighting for freedom in defense of his land while the joke of a government pampers and defends real terrorists that have killed thousands of innocent Nigerians.

They have succeeded in making Kanu, larger than life !

Better human being that ought to have been our President or incoming, not the

Celebrating fake GDP while your citizens languish in abject poverty, mass unemployment, scary insecurity and hopelessness.


Thank you Prof for always standing by the truth

Standing by what truth, please? The truth that the economy crumbled while you nodded in silence? That insecurity grew like wildfire as you smiled for the cameras? That the judiciary became a playground for the powerful, and you watched from the front row? Leadership is not about standing by, it’s about standing up. And when the nation needed a voice, you offered an echo that APC will change things...where are we now ?The truth you stood by wasn’t the people’s truth; it was the comfortable lie of convenience.

helinues:
Before the Trump's noise, there was a plan to change the security chiefs. The investigation about those behind the insecurity in Nigeria most especially the arms dealers, gun runners.
Those are the people who ran to the lobbyists to divert our attention. Hands will soon touch them.

The alleged coup attempt was within the military to stop the investigation one way or the other, when that failed, they reached out to Trump.

Trump has kept quiet about the issue as he has been lectured about the reality on ground.

Are there unjust killing in Nigeria? Yes

Are christians or any other faith targeted: Hell No

Before the Trump’s Noise....There Was a Symphony of Excuses!

Long before Donald Trump turned us into a reality show with better ratings than any reality show ever deserved, there was already music in the air, a soothing symphony of excuses. Every politician from the National Security Adviser Ribadu to Religious leaders played their part: the “It wasn’t me” flute, the “blame the previous administration” drum, and the “misquoted by the media” harp. Trump didn’t invent political noise; he just turned up the volume, added a social media soundtrack, and sold tickets.... they play, you and your kind will hear the beat soon!

adamkkk:
Trump is only coming for the so called bandits



are these politicians happy that bandits are killing people ?

Not just bandits, terrorist's abettor, enablers of terrorism those politicians who operate behind the scenes, providing money or logistics or those who turned a blind eye to this evil...

Mattswaggz:
Chiefs failures have the audacity to tag their trademark on one of the best intelligence agency in the world.....this is standout comedy. .

When Buhari said the cartoon section of the national dailies was his first stop, did you really think he was joking....Lol! APC

dibusnotion:
if you want to be relevant in this country, just be dramatic. people will cheer you

This isn’t about being just dramatic, it’s about having the courage to stand firm for what is right, even when the instruments of power are used to stop you from moving freely and exercising your right as a citizen, especially an elected senator — has her passport seized without clear legal basis, that isn’t simply an inconvenience; it’s a challenge to the principle of justice. Akpbabio will definitely bring all his good antecedent to ruin because of this woman.....shame on this Govt.....President Trump pls take note!

Pharaoh4rin:
Tinubu us too grounded in street matters to fear any human being. Do you know what tinubu has being involved with?

Ok...dey play!

Ur mouth dey run like tap now until you experience war. U go beg God to return Nigeria to its former state but e go don too late.

The moment any foreign troop enter Nigeria, it's over. Different terror groups go dey pop out like sand. Terrorists wey go make Boko Haram be like child's play.

Na so e start for Syria and Libya. Today, a grain of sand is worth more than a human life in those countries.

Continue dey run ur mouth u hear?

Was Islam also a problem in Libya, Vietnam and so many others the US destroyed?

These countries have never recovered even after several decades.

Thats their headache, if they like let them not recover! Nigeria is not Iraq, Libya or whatever the truth is the issue of our compromised and failing security apparatus requires immediate attention.

tunapawizzy:
I am eager to see how the US will help solve this problem.
In my opinion, the persecution of Christians (and all other ills in the land) persists because of the kind of leadership Nigerian voters have opted for. You cant outsource the management of your internal problems to another nation(not the US). We as Nigerians need to start taking responsibility for our actions.

Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, Angola are African partners in efforts with the US to end major conflicts in their countries, providing assistance for post-conflict rebuilding and security sector reform so why cant we outsource? Please dont give me Sadaam, Ghaddaffi story cos Nigeria is not Iraq or Libya..., as Nigeria's situation is unique. The reality is that Nigerians are exhausted with the current state of affairs. Our leaders have consistently worsened since 1999, and the quality of life, even during the military era, was noticeably better. Furthermore, the compromise of our security forces is a major concern.

erumena:
Don’t mind these useless people, has any Country cares more for other country than theirs.

Will any country spend billions of tax payer’s money just to pick up a fight for nothing? Who do you think benefits more if there’s chaos?

The same strategy that was used against Ghaddafi is about to play out and we all saw how it ended.

The numbers of senseless people in this country is overwhelming.

You sound violent & like one of the people who benefit from the wickedness Trump mentioned ! Must you all use Ghaddafi as example? what about Post-World War II Reconstruction of Japan, Germany & Italy by the US? And DRC Congo, African Union Mission in Somalia in Africa? See whether you think you are the only sensible person in Nigeria many want U.S. assistance in fighting terrorism because groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP target Christians and civilians, and U.S. support could strengthen security, protect lives, and promote peace.....if you like hug transformer we gave him reasons to speak and trust Trump he will strike

The US is up to something sinister

They are NOT happy Nigeria is making progress

lol! Progress like Ghana abi? You dont have what to say

brain54:
I blame Tibunu and politicians for politicizing BH and insecurity...


Those clapping for US intervention should be careful what they wish for as it hardly ever ends well.


They should ask ghadaffi's Libya.

We should sought out issues ourselves. Shame on politicians that prioritize monetary gains at the expense of those they ought to be protecting.


Security is not rocket science if the will to fight it is paramount.

Let's stop beating around the bush!

Pls can you give us 3 ways we can sought our issues ourselves that we haven't tried? And pls when you guys want to vilify the US govt don't always use Libya, Iraq etc its stale abeg!

tunapawizzy:
Yes my fellow Christians are oppressed and targeted especially in the northern part of Nigeria and we have to help them. Terrorists have to be terminated but US invading Nigeria is not a solution.
Nigeria is a sovereign nation, if the US is genuinely interested in the safety of chirstians and want to attack Muslim extremists, hijacking control is not the right way to get that done. Yes naija government is largely useless and majority are tired of them, but to think the US government wants the best for Nigerians and this latest episode is altruistic is wishful thinking.
And Nigerians should be careful what they wish for, nobody is investing in a country where there's that sort of instability and multiple powers/control.
Tell yourselves the truth, the only way is for you to attack your politicians by yourself with your votes and any other thing you can do. US is not what US says it is. One morning they tag you low level human from a shit hole. The next minute they love you so much and are interested in your well being.

So your idea of a solution is by votes? lol! Say something else please

Jennyclay:
Broke man

Look at the nonsense slippers he wore on a date

And again, Men should stop using okada to take a lady out on a date. It’s absurd.

Will you die if you book bolt or uber to take a lady on a date? Biko answer me

Haba Jenny? you believe every post on SM? Haba?

ledaman:
I strongly believe your friends will never have good argument with you.
Simple question, you dey yarn grammar.
*Are their Africans doing great in Russia and Iran?* Simple question!
Bros Your teacher really tried for you ooo

Lol.... How many Africans are doing great in Iran and Russia compared to the US? Simple question or you just want to pull the religious card?

ledaman:
Don't twist the narrative, you said such can't happened in Russia or Other countries and I brought out the answers cest fini.

Lol! The idea that Iran, Russia, nations infamous for severe government censorship, restrictions on internet freedom, and the persecution of their own citizens for even mild criticism you are now championing them as attractive, open, and enabling partners for African tech entrepreneurs and businesses is deeply ironic and implausible. The Google you asked me to use it's like you don't use it well! You just copy and paste!

This guy didn't get the memo, point 2 of the plan is Demilitarization and Security Measures. Build bunkers? No wonder Saudi deported this guy

ledaman:
Google it that is the essence of using data

You are so hilarious.... Lol! the argument is that the U.S. offers a level playing field and a cultural openness that sets it apart as a global leader, making a comparison to countries like Iran, Russia and China lacking those qualities an unfair or irrelevant exercise. The success of immigrants like Dada and many more, therefore, is a tangible proof of American superiority.

🇨🇳 Examples in China & Asia

1. *Khalifa A. Sy Diop*
- A Malian entrepreneur living in *Hunan, China*
- Founded the *Mali Business Center* (2024), mentoring Chinese and Malian businesses and fostering economic ties. [1]

2. *Odjo Rachald*
- From Benin
- After graduating from Central South University in Changsha, he launched a start-up trading machinery and solar products between China and Africa. [1]

3. *African Students in China*
- Many African youths are studying advanced degrees in engineering, medicine, and infrastructure at Chinese universities.
- Example: Mercy Nyaruiru Mburu from Kenya is pursuing a master’s in traffic and transportation in Beijing. [2]
- Tanzanian student *Fathiya Mohamed Said* studies medicine in China and interned in a Chinese hospital. [3]

4. *Bashir (AI Entrepreneur in China)*
- An African youth who started an *Artificial Intelligence* business partnership in Shanghai and Zhejiang.
- He attributes his success to China’s openness to foreign entrepreneurship and hopes to encourage more African youth to enter tech in China. [4]

Iran and Russia please.

My data wasted, Gang driver confessing without a face? Chai!

Naija currently operates a centralized or quasi-federal system in which the federal government wields disproportionate power, while the states remain significantly dependent and constrained. Most Nigerian states have limited constitutional authority, rely heavily on federally allocated revenue, and have little to no control over their natural resources, security, or economic direction. This imbalance stifles competition, innovation, and accountability at the state level, just take a cue from Fubara's ordeal.

As a result, we often find ourselves distracted by superficial debates and trivial comparisons, arguing about the size of a city like Ibadan, rather than focusing on what truly matters: how well each state is performing, and what their GDP per capita, infrastructure, health, and education indicators reveal about governance quality.

Frankly, how is it my business how large one state or city appears to be, as long as every state is empowered to thrive independently, based on its own vision, capacity, and resourcefulness. The house of rep member must have been quoted out of context, however this sort of statement is unnecessary.

This is why there’s an urgent need to push for true federalism in Nigeria where states are genuinely autonomous, can generate and retain their own revenues, control their natural resources, establish their own police forces, make locally relevant laws, and even adopt state constitutions aligned with their unique needs and realities.

The faster we move toward this model of decentralized governance, the better our chances of achieving real development, accountability, and sustainable economic growth. Anything less keeps us stuck in cycles of dependency and underperformance.

PigTormentor:
More like the maintenance culture of the people. We always blame govt for everything.
You have to go outside of your village, travel around the world and see how ordinary people take good care of their neighborhoods, their immediate environment to see that we thr people are the real problem.
I lived here when it first opened. I still remember vividly exactly how it looked when we first moved in.

Ot has gone down mostly due to over population, people moving in families of 10 into an apartment meant for 3 3 to 4 people. Over population outs extrem pressure on sewage, water, electricity and roads. It
The same people don't want to pay for any service such as water, sewage and others, they expect govt.to just take care of everything.
That doesn't happen anywhere in the world.

You are fundamentally mistaken in blaming the people. The deterioration of projects like FESTAC is a direct result of government failure and negligence, not citizen misconduct.The government, through the parastatal the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), is the official custodian responsible for maintenance and preserving the original structure.

Here are the key areas where the government is to blame:

Failure of Monitoring and Security: The FHA's dedicated monitoring teams, which once enforced building codes (e.g., prohibiting burglar bars, fences, and makeshift markets), have vanished. In the late 80's you dare not erect a buglary in a block of flats, or build a fence around T8, T9 or T10 duplex. With insecurity becoming a challenge every flat, duplex is fenced and well gated now.... Then you could walk through FHA field to 111 road without stress, now with fences and gates its impossible. This negligence created a vacuum.

Neglected Security and Infrastructure: The police, a government arm, failed to curb rising insecurity, forcing residents to install security gates and hire private guards. Furthermore, essential infrastructure like the Water Works reservoir stopped functioning in 1995, compelling residents to drill private boreholes.

Rampant Corruption and Land Grabbing: In the early 1990s, FHA officials engaged in mass corruption, selling off buffer zones, playgrounds, and fields like the popular FHA field to cronies and criminal elements. I remember the case of the Communion Church and the then Minister of Works Maj General Abdulkareem Adisa who wanted to demolish the church cos it was sitting on the buffer zone. This unchecked land racketeering fundamentally destroyed the original master plan (e.g., the infamously nicknamed "Cocaine Avenue".

Poverty and Overpopulation: The government has failed to address the increasing population's need for housing, making it unfair to blame citizens for overcrowding.

Sometimes, I wonder if Pro-Palestine activist do research at all? Oct 7 was uncalled for, all the lives lost, wasted. Hamas made a grave mistake or was tricked to carry out that massacre. The 20 Points plan by Trump is less a "peace deal" and more a post-war stabilization and reconstruction blueprint focused on demilitarization and security arrangements. Take Point 6 for instance. "Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.'' All Hamas members will be trailed for Life! Chai!
Clinton Parameters (2000) offered the most balanced framework for a permanent, comprehensive peace based on the principle of land for peace and a Two-State Solution, the Clinton Parameters were unquestionably superior to Trumps. They were based on extensive negotiations and attempted to meet the fundamental needs of both parties on core issues like borders, security, Jerusalem, and refugees. What a waste!!!

Razzness:
The bottom line is simple, isreal couldn't accomplish any of its goal. They couldn't defeat Hamas, They couldn't get the hostages back on their own, they couldn't fight Iran in a 1 v 1 fight, without the US of course. Iran nuclear program is very much alive, in fact this time around has banned IAEA inspection of their nuclear facilities which was not so before isreal attacked.

Have you reviewed Trump's 20-point plan? Lets discuss Israel's objectives, particularly as outlined in points 4, 6, 9, and 13 of that plan.

Before we debate these goals, I want to clarify: is your perspective genuinely concerned with the well-being of ordinary Palestinians, or is it influenced by religious bias or the current trend of political correctness?

MaiDeribe:
Your attempt to portray Hamas as merely “sacrificing civilians” is a cynical deflection from the tragic reality that the vast majority of victims in Gaza are innocent civilians, including thousands of children. Independent Israeli military intelligence data leaked in 2025 now confirms that over 80% of the Palestinians killed in Gaza during the recent conflict are civilians, an extraordinarily high civilian death toll even for modern warfare .
While you claim the IDF targets only Hamas leaders, the reality on the ground is starkly different. The scale of destruction in dense urban areas, including deadly strikes on hospitals, refugee camps, schools, and residential neighborhoods, reflects military tactics marked by disproportionate force. According to Gaza health authorities, tens of thousands of women, children, and elderly have died in Israeli operations far exceeding militant casualties .
Labeling Palestinian civilians as “necessary sacrifices” ignores the enormous human cost and suffering inflicted by relentless bombardment.
Your sanctimonious defense of Israel’s “strategic elimination” mission falls flat against the overwhelming evidence of mass civilian deaths and the use of starvation and blockade.
Perpetrating a genocide and calling it a war is a vile action its own. The world voted and we came to the conclusion.

The organization being quoted should be referred to as the Hamas Health Authority, not the "Gaza Health Authority," as the governing body in Gaza has been under Hamas's control since 2005 without subsequent democratic elections. A significant concern is that international aid from Europe and other nations has reportedly been redirected by Hamas to build an extensive network of underground tunnels for military operations against Israel.

Hamas leaders themselves introduced the idea of "necessary sacrifices," not me, viewing their deceased as martyrs. This suggests a profound disregard for Palestinian lives; had they valued them, the attack on October 7th would have been prevented. The ultimate strategic rule is: Don't initiate a conflict you are unable to conclude.

malali:
Even war has rules of engagement.
Wars are governed by Geneva conventions
Just killing babies and women and people who have raised white flags of surrendering is Genocide
Trying to eliminate the whole people of Palestine under the guise that you are hunting Hamas is Genocide

Some of us are not as stupid or foolish as you would like us to be.
This is the same thing Hitler did, and the world sympathized with Jewish people
Only for you guys to turn around and do it to Palestine.

Shame on you.

People apologetic to terrorist are always aggressive, insultive and vile... Must you drive home your points with abusive words. Wars inevitably result in casualties, which is precisely why they are often an unnecessary method for resolving disputes. Hamas's strategy of deliberately placing civilians in harm's way and preventing people from leaving war zones reflects their disregard for ordinary Palestinian lives. Their leadership views these people as necessary sacrifices to demonize Israel. In contrast, the IDF's stated objective is to strategically eliminate Hamas leaders, not innocent women and children..

malali:
Israel had thousands of Palestinians locked up in Israelis Jails prior to Oct 7th
The whole world knows this
Netenyahu and the leader of Hamas are the same, they are both criminals
One already convicted by ICC. The other as judged by the world.
The whole world doesn't see any difference between Hamas and Netenyahu led Israel
They are both terrorists.

#Freepalestine

Nations generally have the right to take necessary and proportional military action to defend themselves and their citizens from attack. Netanyahu invoked a basic war principle on Hamas.

Hezzyluv:
Is it only me that sees pride or arrogance each time Donal Trump twitt?

Yes o... What Clinton couldn't achieve with Arafat, he has done it with Hamas a terrorist group. Nobel peace prize uploading.... Meanwhile the arrogant Trump doesn't give a damn about anybody, unless you are a ass-licking Republican
