PoliticsRe: The Only Reasonable Way To Stop Tinubu In 2027 by Softmirror: 12:00am On Sep 15, 2025
truthera:
For those who are yet to come to terms with reality thinking that they can vote out Tinubu in 2027, I can comfortably say that it will be a futile exercise. It is saddening that many Nigerians will wake up to a rude shock over another massive victory for the APC over 2027 presidential election. Tinubu and his party can not be stopped through voting as long as he controls the INEC and judiciary. If Nigerians are serious about ending the bad government, Tinubu must be disqualified from participating in the next election. Nigerians must push for this using the criminal cases of forged documents (pergury), US drug related case and other crimes that were revealed during the last election to force the national assembly and INEC to disqualify him. Allowing Tinubu to contest the next election only guarantees a massvie victory for the APC. Nigerians hoping to vote him out are only wasting their time.
You are repeating the same thing since his Gubernatorial election.

NOTHING NEW.

Look at the date of the letter below.

PoliticsRe: Boko Haram Was Not A Violent Organization ~ Reno Omokiri by Softmirror: 11:37pm On Sep 14, 2025
Dogalmighty17:
On this, Reno did not lie. Anyone with a recollection of events as they happened in Borno state knows that just as for Zamfara governor Yerima introduced Sharia in Zamfara to score cheap political points, Modu Sheriff former governor of Borno state used Boko Haram in its infancy then, for political leverage. The group did not start out with killing.

The Yar'adua presidency proscribed the group and its leader Muhammad Yusuf, was arrested by Nigerian army soldiers and handed over to the Nigerian police force in cuffs. Less than 5 hours later, news spread that he had been killed. The police said he overpowered their men at the station and was exchanging fire with them. How could a man who had his hands cuffed behind him, be able to secure a weapon and open fire at officers?

It is worth noting that the police never displayed his corpse to the public. Yusuf was killed to prevent him from revealing who the sponsors of the group were.

Seeing how their leader was killed, Boko Haram followers then retreated into the forests of Sambisa and from there, they began launching attacks targeting policemen and police formations in Borno state. The police was the only thing Boko Haram was after. They sought to revenge the death of their leader.

Yar'adua's unfortunate death, saw Jonathan become president. This caused Northern politicians to become unhappy and they sponsored a boko haram spin off that was more deadly than the parent group.

It is worth noting that during the Jonathan presidency, Obasanjo travelled to Borno state to meet the founder of Boko Harams family. He met Yusuf's wife and nephew. They informed him that the original faction of Boko Haram which their late principal headed, was not behind the attacks that were already spreading to states like Yobe, Kaduna and eventually the FCT. The FCT itself had the UN building bombed and the overwhelmingly deadly nyanya park bombing that saw 93 people die. Politicians had hijacked the group.

Remember that Kabiru Sokoto and Aminu Ogwuche were later on apprehended as the primary masterminds of the Abuja bombings. Kabiru Sokoto was later said to have escaped from the police as he was being transported from detention. The truth later came out that a high ranking official working in the CBN provided the Hilux that the police used and conveniently allowed him to escape from. Though Kabiru Sokoto was later apprehended as he was trying to flee to Benin republic, no investigation was carried out on which CBN official provided the logistics for his escape.

Aminu Ogwuche, Kabiru's accomplice, would later sue the federal government for 100 million naira for unlawful detention. Till today, there is no report if these young men were successfully prosecuted. For all we know, they have been quietly let go. Their sponsors are powerful persons in the north and the government prefers to look the other way. The UAE gave the Buhari government a list of Boko Haram sponsors. Till today, the government has refused releasing those names. It has equally arrested no one on that list.

The original boko haram as we know it, doesn't exist anymore.
It is well documented that General Azazi who was the then National Security Advice under President Good Luck Jonathan made the same claims as Reno Omokiri as well as everything you have written up there.


In General Azazi 's words,

"Let’s examine all these issues to see whether the level of violence in the North East just escalated because Boko Haram suddenly became better trained, better equipped and better funded, [b]or something else was responsible .”

Foreign AffairsRe: What If Robertson Wasn't The One Who Killed Charlie Kirk? by Softmirror: 11:13pm On Sep 14, 2025
PulaPower:
Up till now, I’m yet to believe it was that 22 year old boy that was the killer..
Why?! Because of his age? People within his age bracket win shooting competition. We have those who are younger than him who have won gold in Olympics and those slightly older than him.

This 22 year old has been pressing triggers of different types of guns since almost from birth.

Trump would have been first to die. Actually, it's a reflection of not just the dangerous American political landscape since immemorial but also the American society for its gun violence.
PoliticsRe: Why Do Some Nigerians Think Charlie Kirk Is A Racist? by Softmirror:
Twist4u:
"There are other factors involved but the most noticeable one is the [b]absense of fathers in black children's lives [/b]and the increase of single mother homes from 25% in 1960 to 75% in 2025." Apt.

Listened to black folks in prison this was their number 1 reason being in Jail at age 16 -20, Absence of Father in their Life.

Charlie Kirk death has triggered a reawakening in Europe.
Through, 50s, 60s and 70s America went through what is called 'SEXUAL REVOLUTION' this changed a lot of traditional settings in both whites and black families.

Whites are very much guilty of raising children without the presence of their fathers. Which actually out numbers blacks in this respect because the white population far out numbers the blacks in the U S. So proportionately it is not a racial problem but a general American problem. It seems more common among blacks simply because it's the percentage ratio to population of it's community compared to whites.


So, the problem with Charlie is with his bias when making judgement.

Do we have whites in American jails?! Why are there whites in American jails? Charlie's killer comes from a full family I hope you know. Not without an absence of his dad. So what happened? What family values did he grow up with. We could see his pictures with guns since a child.

Charlie was also an advocate of promoting that more Americans should be allowed to carry guns .

His stance on gun, Kirk said the way to reduce gun violence was simple: Put guns into the hands of more Americans.

And so many times when you hear news of mass shootings in schools, most of the time is by whites. Why is it so?!

Racially, blacks don't even top in gun violence, in the overall statistics.

Charlie's bias when trying to be analytical in his judgement of others who are not whites like him is the real issue.

Let me give you a critical example with this statement.


"If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified".

I have read the whole context from A to Z. While he was trying to make an objective point against 'affirmative action picks' a quota system which PEOPLE OF COLOR AND WOMEN EITHER WHITE OR BLACK are generally privileged,

He didn't say "If I see a white woman pilot, or just say people of color, I will be like, boy, I hope she is qualified"

The question is the U S aviation industry going to make you a pilot without you being qualified?!

He actually went further to even if he see a surgeon.

Our choice of words really matters. In as much as he claimed to be trying to champion merit over affirmative action picks, logically it doesn't apply to a pilot or a surgeon because Race is not a factor to becoming a pilot in America even though the aviation industry did made an encouraging pronouncement with respect to people of color and women in general.

Hence, his choice of words might have betrayed his intent but generally speaking, he is a white conservative in a nut shell a racist pretending to be a realist.
RomanceRe: God Told Me You Are My Wife by Softmirror:
PastorKosi:
GOD TOLD ME YOU ARE MY WIFE

“When someone says ‘God told me you are my wife/husband’, that alone is never a strong enough reason to accept a relationship or marriage proposal. God is not an author of confusion. If it is truly from Him, He will confirm it to both of you, not just one person. Remember, God does not force people into marriage—He gives us the freedom to choose. Let God also speak to you personally before making such a life-changing decision.”
Pastorkosi what about Pastors who also make such claims that 'God told him that brother John is Sister Johanna's husband'. How can that be confirmed?

Are they whites?! Of course they are not whites.

The red Indians are the Native American who don't qualify as a CAUCASIAN.

Hence your response raises the issue of colonization as a form of occupation of others territory. It was centuries of genocide. The killings of these natives American by invaders, yes whites CAUCASIANS and who subjugated them to Christianity. That was a form of western terrorism. The whites invaded America using brute force.

So what about blacks?

The first black slaves were brought to the colonies, which we call America today about 400 years ago.

I’m reminded of the fact that many black people have had a long history of being terrorized from random beatings to the lynching, to raping to all sorts of dehumanization by whites which is still evident till today.

That is western terrorism.

thewinning101:
I've been seeing some funny commentary from Nigerians and africans saying that Charlie Kirk is a racist and he doesn't like immigrants.

What Charlie Kirk said:
Black people are 12% of the American population but commit about 60% of the total murders in America.

There are other factors involved but the most noticeable one is the absense of fathers in black children's lives and the increase of single mother homes from 25% in 1960 to 75% in 2025.


About immigration:

Charlie Kirk said:
Kirk has repeatedly said that serious reforms are needed for both illegal and legal immigration.
He argues that the southern border, especially due to cartel involvement, has become a security threat that demands stronger measures.


Now the immigration part is also funny to me cos there are certain people who preach unity, diversity, blah blah blah in the morning in Nigeria yet in the evening they start saying "Igbos must leave Lagos". Telling taxpayers to leave a certain part of the country cos you feel they are voting a certain way.


So there you have it. Nigerians who are confused, please tell me which part of Charlie Kirk's statements made him a racist
Bringing Igbos into this is the very essence of your thread, forget about the mentioning Charlie Kirk who of course is a white conservative trying to protect the interest of his own people.

"The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white.

– The Charlie Kirk Show, 20 March 2024

What I don't understand is how within the same people of same skin color and language, geographical location, have a cultural heritage of discrimination within themselves called the 0'su tradition?! It is not tribalism because it is WORST.

“The unique identity of Lagos as a Yoruba homeland is settled and beyond dispute. What I emphasised was the special place Lagos occupies in Nigeria and indeed West Africa — a city that, much like New York, Paris, or London, serves as the commercial nerve centre of our economy.”

so let me get this straight, softmirror. Tinubu, the same man who once loudly questioned the idea of “One Nigeria” when it suited his political ambition, is now suddenly being held back by "respect" for Azikiwe and Ironsi? That’s a reach even for a loyal tribálist like you. 😂

Listen, what’s really holding him back is power.
Tinubu didn't fight, grab, snatch his way to Aso Rock to break the same system that gave him the presidency. Secession is no longer profitable to him, he is now the system.

As for this imaginary “systematic secession from Lagos,” that’s just typical delusion. Lagos is still feeding the federal structure, still bound by the constitution, and still a part of Nigeria. Or are you now calling marginal infrastructural upgrades “secession”?

You can't scream One Nigeria when it benefits your own, and then gaslight others when they demand equity or self-determination. If Tinubu really believed in Yoruba Nation, he’d act but he doesn’t. Today, He believes in Tinubu Nation. You softmirror, other Agbadoos are not part of it. Big difference.
He is already doing it in Lagos and you have been crying. A litmus test. 😁
