Who are the people behind this please, we can't continue to keep quiet, does it mean the government didn't know about their activities all this time

What does the government have to do with Nigeria's personal greed? Personal responsibility is required. How many Ponzi schemes will be used to defraud stupid Nigerians?

Nigerians are always looking for get-rich schemes, and then they complain when they lose everything.

Kushites:
So long as the white minority are allowed to own all that land and wealth in South Africa, forget about lifting up the black majority in a substantial way.

South Africa is still colonised, so I don't know what "governance failure" you're referring to.

If the govt decides to redistribute the wealth and land ownership, they'll get the Zimbabwe treatment from their western "partners". HEAVY ECONOMIC SANCTIONS that would ruin their economy.

So they are still colonised.

Only the eventual decline or collapse of western powers as a whole will lead to African emancipation.

The universe will make it happen.

Well said SA and Namibia cannot change the social and economic injustice to their people without facing Western economic sanctions hence the reason why they have decided to tolerate the attack on African immigrants. After the Africans have been kicked out, what next?

pdppower:
I'll rather believe IMF than believe anything that comes out from this fraud infested govt.

Why would you believe the IMF? Look at their record in Africa. Let the IMF now prove that the government is wrong. I would suggest the government select an independent international committee to investigate the IMF claims,

Iweala would have loved to be Finance Minister under Tinubu. Tunubu's reforms align with her economic policies, including tax reforms, the removal of oil subsidies, and the unification of the Naira exchange rate. GEJ was just too weak to implement critical reforms in 20012.

Typing:
A project that Buhari initiated and it was over 90% completed before Buhari left office. Tinubu wants to take Buharisl's glory.

Nigerians are wiser now

In 8 years, Buhari built a railway from Lagos to Ibadan and from Itakpe to Warri. Look at what the British did in Nigeria between 1891 and 1905 with antiquated technology.

Buhari was a complete and utter failure.

IkeOnyia:
They are bold to attack anywhere because they know nothing will happen to them. There are videos of senior army commanders ordering their subordinates not to shoot at them and if they are even captured, they know that they will be released and given monetary rewards once they swear by their koran that they have repented.

That's why we need state police and summary execution.

The sooner these useless terrorists, assailants, or bandits are killed, the better

I didn't say you shouldn't build your country oga. I didn't say they wouldn't respect you if your country is successful.


What I said is that people will travel in spite of whether their country is successful or not for whatever reason

What I said is simple and straightforward!

If your country is a shithole, nobody would welcome you into their country because they know you are not leaving. I hope you get the picture, as it seems like you are very slow to understand basic common sense.

Before you blame Tinubu, the woman in the attached image has 8 children; she lives in an IDP camp. The governor of Borno state has recently released and rehabilitated 3000 Boko Haram ex-fighters.

Northern Nigeria hunger reaches worst levels in nearly a decade, WFP says
By Reuters


LAGOS, July 2 (Reuters) - More than 17 million people across nine conflict-hit states in northern Nigeria face severe hunger, the U.N. food ​agency said on Thursday, warning that violence and funding ‌cuts are driving food insecurity to its worst level in nearly a decade.
The latest food security analysis showed the number of people facing crisis, ​emergency or catastrophic hunger had risen by almost two ​million from previous projections, the World Food Programme (WFP) said ⁠in a statement.


The findings underline the deepening humanitarian cost ​of insecurity in Africa’s most populous country, where Islamist insurgents in ​the northeast and armed gangs in parts of the north have displaced communities, kept farmers from their fields and restricted aid access.
The crisis is ​worsening during the lean season, when households typically exhaust food ​stocks before the next harvest.

Borno state, the epicentre of a long-running Islamist insurgency, ‌has ⁠more than 3 million people who are acutely food insecure, including more than 750,000 facing severe hunger conditions, WFP said.

"When people lose access to food, the risks of displacement, exploitation and ​instability increase," said ​WFP regional ⁠director for West and Central Africa Kinday Samba, adding that violence was spreading across a wider ​area and forcing people from farmland.
WFP said it ​can only ⁠support fewer than half of the 1.3 million people it was able to assist last year in three northeast states, where ⁠6.2 ​million are food insecure.

The agency said it ​needs $89 million over the next six months to maintain food, nutrition and logistics ​support across northern Nigeria.

Misterone:
Obi is a dictator! He doesn't understand division of labour as enshrined in the constitution. That was why he refused conducting LGA elections for 8 years. That's also why he thinks as president, he will have the powers to reduce the salary of the legislature. Also, why he doesn't have regards for those contesting for senate and HoR under his party. He thinks he can do it alone.

Peter Obi wouldn't last one year if he were elected president; the Shege that the North is doing to Tinubu would be x10 to a Christian Igbo man. I wish him the best

themanderon:
I say this because I see them blaming foreigners for selling drugs to their kids knowing fully well the criminals selling those drugs are capitalizing on the failures and inability to raise their kids properly? We had people that do bad things around my area growing up as kids but we were taught to avoid those people and we did. Strong parental upbringing would have gone a long way in solving this drug issue. If there are no buyers, there will be no sellers.
Secondly, I see them complaining about foreigners taking their jobs. They go about chasing foreigners from their spaza shops and looting the shops dry. Isn't it a shame that foreigners come to your country with nothing and within a while they work hard and acquire properties only for your people to say they are taking jobs from them despite laying around and doing nothing?
All I see are your people lazying around doing nothing but drinking and taking drugs only for them to turn around and blame others for taking their jobs and selling drugs to them.
It's crazy you guys aren't seeing the damage you are causing to your image in Africa and the entire world. The few voices of reason amongst you are usually derided and ridiculed by the brain dead unthinking mob. All news outlets around the whole world now broadcast negative news about South Africans.
You may not see the damage yet, but it will surely manifest in the most devastating way. It might even take two generations to repair the damage done.

You do know that Nigeria drove millions of Africans out of Nigeria in 1982. 2 million undocumented West African migrants, mostly Ghanaians, were chased out of Nigeria in 1983. The images are as bad as the ones in SA

No matter how you build your country those that will travel will travel.


Citizens of every country travel and find themselves in different countries for different reasons.


It's not as simple as lets build ours!

It is that simple, build your own country, and people will respect you because your country is respectable and successful.

budaatum:
Chief Chuck Nduka-Eze, was probably a child if born at all, when this massacre happened, but he has put himself in a position to comment in a book, yet Obasanjo says he is "not in a position to comment".

It is Obasanjo's desire to hide the facts that will create the conditions for another civil war!

OBJ created the condition for a civil war when he allowed Sharia law in 1999.

seanfer:
Building and running of Primary health center is under the Local Government council...

That is the problem with Peter Obi: he thinks Nigerians will buy his lies. As president, he can empower the LGA and state governments to fund education and health care only if they are committed to supporting rural development.

Rapmoney:
The same government that subjects citizens to such undesirable type of life spends heavily on sponsoring religious people to Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem. The same government spends huge amounts of funds rehabilitating 'repentant terrorists' that have caused destruction of lives and properties. The same government spends billions of Naira to renovate 'ghost structures'. The same government has failed to invest in education, science and technology.

If Nigeria was a working country, so-called social media influencers like VeryDarkMan, Harrison Gwamnishu (the so-called ransom facilitator) and Ghe Ghe (or whatever he calls himself) would not be in existence.

We always tend to be politically right all the time. It is a huge problem.

Nigerian workers are among the poorest in the world. You can take it to the bank!

Nigeria government is not responsible for poor people having 10 children.

65 years after independence, the continent is in a worse condition. Illegal state-operated mining and insecurity.

From The Economist

Not much remains today of the walls, ramparts and moats that once surrounded Benin City in southern Nigeria. Yet for centuries these giant earthworks—second in length only to China’s Great Wall among man-made structures—bespoke a mighty civilisation whose authority extended across much of west Africa.

By the standards of pre-colonial Africa, the Benin state was exceptionally strong: erecting the wall in a single dry season might have required mobilising as many as 5,000 men, each working ten hours a day. But as the empire withered and eventually succumbed to British invaders in the late 19th century, most of the earthworks vanished. So did those of many other fortified towns across west Africa.

N[b]ow they are returning. Since the mid-2010s, as jihadist insurgencies have spread across northern Nigeria and the Sahel, defensive earthworks have risen up around towns and cities. Many are so extensive they are clearly visible in satellite images.[/b]

According to new research by Olivier Walther and Steven Radil, geographers at the University of Florida, all urban centres in north-east Nigeria with populations of more than 10,000 are now secured by trenches. Most big towns there and in the Lake Chad basin are surrounded by sand berms up to three metres high.

Unlike those of the former Benin empire, the new walls and moats are a sign of state weakness.

In Nigeria, the army began digging trenches with the help of the American government shortly after the notorious “Chibok Girls” kidnapping by jihadists in 2014.

The goal, says an American contractor involved in the initiative, was to protect civilians and “hold the line” against jihadist advances. Militants in the Sahel typically carry out attacks using light vehicles such as motorcycles or pickup trucks. Trenches and berms are a simple, low-tech way to slow them down.

Governments in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Mali and Niger have followed suit.

In 2024 at least 133 civilians were killed in Burkina Faso by jihadists while they were digging a trench around the town of Barsalogho on the orders of the armed forces. It is not just cities and towns. Attracted to what they see as a quick fix for security threats, governments in the region are fortifying all sorts of assets under their control, from power stations and government offices to hospitals and schools.

Togo has dug over 36km of trenches along parts of its borders with Burkina Faso and Benin to prevent militants crossing.

A man looks at the trench being dug around the University of Maiduguri on in north-east Nigeria next to the road to prevent from possible attacks, on July 4, 2017.


In the long run, the effect may be to cede vast swathes of the countryside to the insurgents. Mr Walther notes that large parts of the Sahel now resemble an “archipelago of secure islands surrounded by an insecure sea”.


For much of its history Africa was characterised by weak states struggling to control scattered, mobile populations. The landscape of the Sahel today looks increasingly like a snapshot from its past.

Sowore is APC's/Tinubu’s boy. He was their utility player during the times they were after GEJ.

Stop writing and selling fake news. GEJ was rubbish in government, Sowere has always criticised APC Buhari and Tinubu

Igbo people should be careful this what will likely happen in Nigeria soon, if you are buying lands and houses pls remember to invest in our homes and villages. don't be too comfortable, those lazy tribe that use smelling red oils hate us.. Hausa too don't like us, it is all envy...

Stop selling drugs, and people will like you

What about do proper refuse cleaning and environmental sanitation that block drainages from working effectively?

It is the housing that blocks the flow of water to the lagoon and an illegal structure and poor state planning

Wizardslayer:
Piers Morgan is unstable and an boot licker.

Israel is the only country that possesses what it takes to tame cure terrorists and jihadist.

Learn from history

Israel creates terrorists and jihadists. Israel funded Hamas to undermine the PLO. They funded and supported the terrorists in Syria to remove and replace the Syrian government with a terrorist and Jihadist government.

The USA funded the taliban and ISIS, and France supports terrorist groups in the Sahel to undermine the AES military government.

God1000:
Is there any country in the world that does not have Nigerians in their Prisons?


Sometimes I get confused with the behavior of Nigerians out there, you said our country is corrupt with no jobs and security which is the reason for your Japa, now that you live in a very good country where your dreams will become a reality, why not stay away from crime and criminality, then work hard or do legitimate business, but they still continue to do nonsense that will ruin the image of Nigeria, what exactly is wrong with our people?

Bro, Nigerians destroyed Nigeria. They blame the politician, but they will be worse if they get into power.

The North should stop calling the terrorist bandit.


Remove Sharia law and ban Aljamari education.

While Sharia law is a contributing factor to sectarian tensions in Northern Nigeria, it is not the sole cause of the region's insecurity. The overarching crisis is driven by a complex mix of systemic poverty, ethnic conflict, political corruption, and violent extremist insurgencies that exploit these vulnerabilities.


The Role of Sharia LawSectarian Divisions: The implementation of Sharia in 12 northern states in the early 2000s fundamentally clashed with Nigeria's secular constitutional framework. This created deep divides and friction with Christian minorities and secular groups who felt their civil rights and representation were being compromised.


Enforcement Issues: The activities of the Hisbah (Islamic police) in enforcing moral codes and their clashes with non-Muslim populations have historically sparked major riots and violence.Extremist Ideology: Militant factions often co-opt and distort the rhetoric of Sharia implementation to justify their violent opposition to Western education and the Nigerian state.Broader Drivers of Insecurity


Violent Extremism: Groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP operate independently of formal state-level Sharia, driven instead by radical ideologies, anti-government sentiments, and territorial control.Socioeconomic Hardship: Widespread unemployment, illiteracy, and systemic underdevelopment create a large pool of impoverished and disillusioned youth who are easily recruited by bandits and extremist factions.


Resource Conflict: Long-standing, deadly clashes between nomadic pastoralists (often Fulani) and sedentary farmers over land and water rights are exacerbated by climate change and population growth, operating largely outside the scope of religious law.Political Manipulation: Experts observe that local politicians historically exploit religious and ethnic differences—including the promise of Sharia—to rally support while failing to address the underlying economic and social needs of the populace.

The state should be responsible for funding its own state police. How can a state with a million people fail to collect taxes from its people to fund critical services?

Nigeria need to return to regions.

Ttalk:
Am not attacking you, am only correcting you that it's not every issue you must have opinion.

3 topics I disagree with you are.
Christian genocide - anyone who claim there is no Christian killing going on is either he is been political or don't live or have relation in the North Central.
2. Trump support for the government. Many of you reject Trump support on account they are coming to take our resources and that's bs.
3. Creation of State police, There's should not even be a debate about that in a Federation but how many of you get it twisted is very appauling.

Now you claim Igboho is profiling the Fulani. But you didn't see where Fulani are displacing people, sacking communities and taking procession of their land. You didn't see the coordination of attack from Fulani on other Nigerians.
How insensitive can you be to trade human lives for political expediency?

Am not here to do competition on who wins an argument as there's no trophy for best winner, so keep your faint glory to yourself

Some towns in Kwara have been empty. The SW does not want to end up like Mali, where the Fulani jihadists have surrounded the country.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
More factories for Nigerians to loot. From the gateman to cleaners to managers, all want to swindle the factories to add to their take-home pay. Where do you see honest Nigerians who are satisfied with their monthly wages and wouldn't want to play games?

Nigeria is spoiled from the inside.

You should take your negative energy to Israel.

Nigeria needs more factories but kudos to Maduka medical degree as the country need more doctors

tnerro1:
If this man was in Nigeria, he will be a strong APC supporter, na so dem dey reason, upside down 🙃

What options are out there. NDC, APC that cannot build party structures. Nigerians problems are not just the politicians but the ignorant people.

These useless black SA will not accuse the White that control the banks, stock market and owned the lands of having cars. They are jealous of hard working black Africans that they have been programmed to hate while their oppressor continue laughing at them.

CodeTemplar:
Keep shut.

If you are blaming others for your failures, how woud your people overcome their problems. Your people live in the most advance country in Africa , yet they can't compete with black African migrants.

Own your problem and then you might own your solutions
