Foreign AffairsRe: Hamas Releases Chilling Footage Of Israeli Hostage Digging His Own Grave(photos) by swimmer: 4:46pm On Aug 05, 2025
OctavianAC:
Who caused the famine in Egypt in the time of Joseph? Who caused the food shortage that we are facing in Nigeria today?
Famine, Hunger, economic meltdown/crisis can come from anywhere. It is not the fault of your soldiers or prisoners, nothing concerns them. You are a failure if you cannot feed your soldiers and prisoners. A real leader feeds his prisoners, because they are not the line of action for recruitment. If you can't feed your prisoners why keeping them. And if you kill your prisoners without a reason that equates their offence, you are a dictator and terrorist.

He will. He is very brilliant and knowledgeable - go and read his press statements and proposes solutions - but you know Nigerians don't like people with solutions. They attacked Osinbajo. They dispised Gani.


They love their wicked rulers.

This is the second photo/video Hamas has released in a short time, just to torment the families of hostages. And yet, you still see people out there supporting these butchers, cheering them on. After this, how can anyone expect Israel to show restraint? These are the savage Islamic terrorists Israel has to fight every single day.
https://www.nairaland.com/8488216/islamic-jihad-publishes-video-israeli

And of course, the UN and those joke countries pushing for a fake ‘Palestine’ stay silent. Not a word of protest against Hamas, no demands to free the hostages, just spreading their propaganda.

The world(few) has somehow gone soft on Islamic terror, even rewarding these radicals s by trying to hand them a state. Well,Israel isn't backing down. Israel will do whatever it takes to defend itself, no matter how much people cry about it.
Israel has stopped food from getting into Gaza... Which food will Hamas feed the hostages withhuh

This is the making of Israel indirectly.

Jokers.

Obi needs Atiku more than Atiku needs him. Atiku has the North, has solid experienced politicians backing him and got more votes last time out.

Obis voting base has shrunk.

Only a deluded person won't know this.

This one doesn't even understand politics, the only team that can grab power from tinubu is Atiku/Obi, anything short of this will not only fail but will end up dividing the votes again for Tinubu, Atiku is most respected in the North and loved than Peter Obi in the East, inshot Atiku is the No. Political Leader the North has Now

How wish atiku should listen to national cry and throw his support behind obi. He will also have the privilege to control obi y he is in power and obi will also hand over power to him by 2031 in a platter of Gold
Which National cry?

You mean Igbo and obedient's silly cry?

Thatbobinis even dragging presidential slot with Atiku shows he isn't one to be trusted. Atiku pushed him to National relevance as VP pick in 2019, he has age on his side, why is he being in a hurry?

Tambuwal is like obi but very patient and respectful.

2027 isn't like 2023 where the North voted for Tinubu because of Buhari. They will now vote for Atiku en masse. Even people in the West are seeing the sense in Atiku and a lot of the bigwigs in addition came together for Atiku... Not Obi.

Even at the polls, Atiku gets more votes so wtf is these obidients drinkinghuh??



Let them continue. If he splits the votes again like in 2023 and allow Tinubu win, they will wail for the next 12 years and be shouting about how obi won in their heads. 4 years is enough time for someone to have sense.

PoliticsRe: 2027 Warning Shot: 5 Jagaban Moves Every Opponent Should Be Wary Of by swimmer: 7:52am On Jul 17, 2025
franchasng:
Dear op, I acknowledge your points, thanks for putting them together.


But the truth is this; Tinubu's overall performance has been abysmally poor.

Inflation destroyed Nigeria's economy and wiped out more than 85% of Nigeria's booming middleclass population such that most middleclass Nigerians had to gather whatever they had left to flee Nigeria to:

UK
Canada
US
European countries
and even to African countries


Next is hunger; cost of ordinary goods and commodities are high in the market, making it so difficult for average Nigerians to survive, and its worst in far Northern region where Tinubu got most of his rigged-votes in 2023.


Youth unemployment has become a full time national menace since Tinubu became President. More and more Nigerian youths have become jobless and poor.


Despite all these negative effects, Tinubu kept on churning out more anti human policies in the name of tax and government indirect levies/taxes on goods and services.


Customs duty have been increased severally under Tinubu's regime alone and we are an import dependent nation still struggling to find our feat locally, how do you expect general commodities and goods to become affordable in the market with those constant increase in customs duties? Check how much they are using to clear cars now, do we produce enough cars locally? What is the hope of an average Nigerian or civil servants acquiring a second hand car with the current custom duty on imported cars plus high exchange rate?

Bank charges increased.
Telecom increased their tariffs
Nepa abi PHCN increased theirs

How do you expect Nigerians to cope with all these astronomical increases that came almost at once?


These are the things Nigerians will consider during 2027 Presidential election. Yes Tinubu's strategies will do some work for him but it wont be enough to win him a reelection brother.

Atiku have inadvertently inherited Buhari's Northern support base if you don't know. Northwest and Northeast are gone to Atiku already.


The battle now is within:

Northcentral
Southsouth


Southwest belongs to Tinubu already.

Southeast to Obi.

If Atiku and Obi find a way to work together, Tinubu is gone for real.


The only thing that will give Tinubu some advantage in 2027 is if Peter Obi loses the ADC Presidential ticket and refuses to deputize Atiku and leaves ADC to contest under another party, that will give Tinubu a chance but Atiku will still be on the lead because of block Northwest and Northeast votes while Southern votes will be divided
Perfect analysis.


This is the most balanced viewpoint.

I pray Peter Obi checks his ego and supporters and do the right thing.

That High Court judgement interpreted the laws, Constitution and Rules & Regulations of the Senate.

Not true.

They said the Senate over reached their powers and their attempt to use those powers contradicted the Constitution.

Meaning their bye laws were invalid. Why then is akpabio appealing the judgement?

This Obi is silly.

He will let Tinubu win again. His decision making is poor and I blame Atimu for giving him National relevance.

Be patient. Do VP, he is headstrong.

The ADC/Coalition thing was Atikus idea. Now that it has come to fruition, you want the presidential ticket. Go and get it in Labour Party na.

Why can't you and your obidients remain in labour party or start up a new party and push for a Southern president? You guys are very very unthinkable
Don't mind them. That we have a coalition is the work of atiku. I remember him talkin about it immediately after the last election.

Obi doesn't even have a platform anymore. It's ego and pride that will make him not take the VP slot

Amaechi is a cl. own to start with. Atiku should step down if he is serious about the coalition
Sens. Less analysis.


So Obi will win in 2027...the same win he couldn't in 2023? The same splitting of votes that he did that put us in this mess?

He is too good to be VP yet he was lobbying the same atiku to be his VP in 2019?

Anyways, I expect PO to be more sensible than his followers and do the most sensible thing
