It's his father, the one talking anyhow now is just his so
Yes, you are correct. However, it seems as if the current son may even be a worse version of the father. They are both extremists.

DSS should just arrest this Gumi and all his friends. This is his plan all along. We must never vote for anyone he supports for president because that’s the only way he can gain access to power and actualize his forceful Islamization agenda.
The excerpts posted are those of Gumi senior who is deceased. I believe the one you want arrested is the son who seems to be following the father's ideology. I am not against your proposition, I just pointed out the difference.

Wallade:
Your bigotry and sentiments has made you lose your sense of reasoning and understanding.

The question you should be asking the USA🇺🇸 and Donald Trump after the strike is:

Why Sokoto?

What is the proof of ISIS in Sokoto, Nigeria?

What are the ISIS or terrorist human and material casualties at the locations that the USA🇺🇸 military strike hit in Sokoto and perhaps Kwara?

If the USA 🇺🇸 missile hit an open ground just beside your house and shook your house foundation. Would you just stay happy that Donald Trump finally struck ISIS ot terrorists in Nigeria or would you be bothered to want to know what ISIS or terrorists USA🇺🇸 and Donald Trump targeted beside your house?


The joke is on you grin
Sokoto was chosen because it provides a pathway for the terrorists into Nigeria. If you know that axis well, from Ilela in Sokoto you enter Duruku in Niger republic. That very location that was attacked has been confirmed by the Sokoto state governor as a terrorists' hideout.

In all fairness, the ACF's concerns are valid.
How can the ACF's concerns be valid. The Northern elites, for reasons best known to them, have allowed insecurity in their land for far too long. Consequently, the FG has been spending needlessly on security. The funds used for fighting insurgency would have done a lot for them.

As in? Even the reporter said he could not confirm the number of civilian casualties but later added that it was 3. Laughing out loud. What the hell would anybody be doing in a place under the control of terrorists? Except such people are terrorists enablers or apologists.
Politics › Re: Malami Releases Report Indicting EFCC Chairman In Salami-led Probe Panel by teepain: 10:16am On Dec 17, 2025
9jatriot:
Una sure say this guy na real lawyer? Does he think the EFCC chairman is a judge who needs to recuse himself from the case?
I didn't even read your post before I submitted mine. You have just echoed my thoughts. Investigative officers are not judges, so why is he requesting for recusal. Additionally, his press release does not even disclose any personal issue with the EFCC chair to warrant his purported fears. At this rate, he may likely request for the recusal of employees of EFCC who were in the system during the Ayo Salami's probe.
Politics › Re: Malami Releases Report Indicting EFCC Chairman In Salami-led Probe Panel by teepain: 10:11am On Dec 17, 2025
@Fergie, this is really interesting. However, I am minded to query the basis for which the ex-AGF (Malami) is requesting for recusal of the EFCC:s chair at this time.

I believe that the EFCC chair will not be adjudicating over the matter and the EFCC can only bring past evidences (if they have any) of corruption to try the ex-AGF.

I believe that Malami should be requesting for a speedy trial, if he believes that his hands are clean. I dare say that it is not within his power to determine who investigates him or not.

States can't raise enough tax money.

Tax to gdp for Lagos, supposedly the richest state is 2.3% . That is too low.

Therein lies the problem

Alcohol is not your God by the way
Whether alcohol is anyone's "God" or not should not be for you to decide. The fact that you and I do not take alcohol should not be taken to be manual for people to live their lives.

nairalanda1:
No, it is true federalism in action.

Every state has the rights to set state law.

Many of you don't understand true federalism. You think it is all about resource control. It isn't

Just as a Muslim doesn't have the right to damage beer bottles in the south east, so also a Christian does not have the right to object

Drinking beer is not a Christian value anyway. Waste of money and damages the liver

Plus in America that you admire, there are dry counties there. No alcohol

Anyway, one is free to move from Kano to a place where they don't destroy a man's business. Simple and short. I don't know why someone would be crazy enough to set up alcohol drinks business there especially since we know hisbah has been doing this for over 2 decades
Shouldn't the same theory of state governments being able to implement laws within their domains apply across board?

For context, several states have enacted anti public grazing laws yet, the Northerners has consistently cited the fact that such laws run foul of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of movement.

If Northern states can exercise their liberty to destroy alcoholic drinks, then their Southern counterparts should be able to destroy grazing cows too!

Southerners should prevail on their lawmakers to collectively challenge this anomaly. Secondly, human rights lawyers of Southern extractions should approach the court to test the legality of hisbah's action.
Politics › Re: Sule: Kidnapping Started In Southern Nigeria, It Didn’t Start In The North by teepain: 10:39am On Dec 09, 2025
If kidnapping started in the south, how many northerners did the southerners kidnap? The niger-deltans did not go about kidnapping people in other regions or states. They focused on their region. Why are the northern kidnappers going to other regions and states?

This is where the national assembly members are failing in their duties. The national assembly has committees for Defence, Army, Navy and Airforce. A public hearing into this issue should have been conducted and the chain of command grilled on national TV. By now, we would have had answers and the national assembly can then make recommendations based on the findings.

It is either she does not understand the reasons or she is just playing to the gallery by making suggestions to make Nigerian content creators earn as well as their U.S counterparts when she knows that the fundamentals are not the same.

matify83:
Throwing raw statistics at us without characterization only gives a spurious picture of economic improvement.

You have hidden the fact that those good indices are propelled by the REBASEMENT done by the NBS this year.

For real figures, experts like Rewane and Uwaleke have adduced adding 10 to the figures you copiously referenced.

However, the monetary policy team headed by Cardoso is doing a yeoman's job at reining in headline inflation and setting the nation on the path to economic recovery and currency stability.

The fiscal side seems to be the clog in the wheel of progress as the continuous unrestrained borrowing spree of this government tend to erode the gains of the monetary policies.
A fair assessment. The man, Cardoso, deserves his flowers. He is doing a wonderful job.

With this statement, Dele Momodu comes across as a very insensitive person. So, Atiku that has the financial wherewithal to hire the most sophisticated body guards money can afford should be assigned policemen at the detriment of the masses. This is one of the most asinine statements I have heard in a while.

iwaeda:
A government and organisation, immense in heavy debt, solution is to sell off, but not. Boda Bayo declared N4 trillion profit recently, but who is deceiving who. grin grin grin
It is possible to declare profit and have a terrible balance sheet. I believe that the declared profit is for the most recent financial year supervised by Ojulari. Now, the problem with the NNPC financials is the balance sheet items, especially the outstanding liabilities. So, Ojulari may not be deceiving anyone.

However, like you said selling the refineries as scrap makes a whole lot of sense as the turn around maintenance schemes provides an avenue for endless looting for people at the NNPC.

I would wish the military stopped reporting their little wins. They should rather go after the bandits and deal with them thoroughly.
When we are able to dwell in safety, we would know that they have succeeded . For now, it is all noise
I wanted to support your motion before. But then I had a rethink. War strategies include information dissemination too. Perhaps, if they don't share their little wins the world may not know that they are doing their bit.

Maybe I should just add that the military needs to be a little proactive, they should not wait until these terrorists attack before they neutralize them.

This looks like a PR laundering but then you brought Rape to the interview which literally means you are looking for pity.

Rape is a big thing and making it part of your public image as a professional is manipulative and a red flag
So you mean if she was raped she should bottle it up and not talk about it. Besides this was an interview and the interviewer asked to know why the interviewee went into public office. Obviously she had to talk about her rape experience since that was her driver for contesting for office.

mastermaestro:
Taking in political prisoners at this time will be Tinubu’s worst misstep. Make una nor dey offer suicidal political advice nau. Datti is not a nobody. Tinubu should just ignore him. The president must be very shrewd in times like this. Many are out to provoke him into taking actions that could rupture the system. He should know better.
While I agree with you that circumspection is required by a leader at all times it is equally important for a leader not to allow a free for all or a laissez-faire situation.

Part of the reasons why we are in this current mess is that previous leaders overlooked some stupid things and those things are now normalized so it is becoming more difficult to manage them. People should not hide under the toga of opposition to burn the country up. And it is the same advise I will give to anyone who becomes the President tomorrow. The freedom of expression comes with certain inherent responsibilities.

DMerciful:
I mean the southern govs need to be more forceful. When you say advocacy, it means trying to convince others to join. They don't need to convince anybody because the president said those that are willing should start. He just needs to instruct his rubberstamp assembly to pass it immediately
Okay, I get your perspectives now. And talking about the rubber-stamp national assembly (as you put it) it is not that easy when it comes to a constitutional amendment. For it, to become law 2/3rd of the states house of assemblies have to agree to it. That is where the conundrum is and there is need for tact to convince the northern states on the need to support state policing. Otherwise, it cannot be forced.

These are the facts of the matter that we have to live with. No matter how strongly we believe in certain principles, constitutional democracy in a multi-ethnic society like ours, can slow down things.

DMerciful:
I understand what Tinubu said about it being optional but this is Southern Governors forum so whats the excuse?
I believe that this is not an "excuse". I guess that the Southern Governors, decided to collectively voice their support for state police, perhaps, to let it be on record that they are not the one holding it back. And this can serve as a wake up call for southern lawmakers to push harder for the constitutional amendment that is required at the national bill before state police can become operational.

DMerciful:
Why are they not serious about state police? What's the meaning of renewed advocacy for state police? Who are they advocating to? The president?
I guess they are advocating it to some Northern governors. I think it was the complaints from some Northern states that stalled it because they spoke about their potential inability to fund state police in some of their states. And I think that explains why Tinubu recently asked that the lawmakers should modify the constitution such that any state that wanted state police could go ahead with having one.

FreeStuffsNG:
Champagne bawo?

I think it is sobering that it took this long for justice to come for the victims. It's bad for the convict , victims and families of the victims.

The long trial also played into the religious/tribal bigotry weapon the convict combined with the wide media/social media coverage to cause division, terrorize innocent citizens and further traumatize the families of the victims.

I believe the Judiciary has learnt valuable lessons too.
Very apt. The government from the day of Buhari and the judiciary wasted too much time on this case. The matter should have gone to trial since. Holding accused persons without trying them does not show us as a serious country.

And again, this penchant for political solutions is not helping matters. Going forward, we must allow lady justice to blindly determine issues without minding whose ox is gored. Enough of this madness of seeing some political leaders or local chiefs hold peace talks with murderers parading as bandits without the law enforcement officers rounding them for arrest and prosecution.
Education › Re: Abuja Parents Who Slapped Teacher Release Statement by teepain: 6:08pm On Nov 16, 2025
The parents' statement flies in the face of logic. Assuming without conceding that the teacher had previously assaulted their child on previous occasions, this defence can only be justifiable if they have records of reporting the issue to the necessary authorities ( i.e. the ministry of education, the police, the school authorities)

Without prior reports of alleged previous assaults it would at the very least appear as if they resorted to self help. Therefore, their acts remain condemnable and actionable.

This thread reminded me of the comments by Penguin2 that Soludo would be kicked out for criticising Peter Obi. Wetin happen last? You people need to understand that anyone who chooses to serve the public should get ready for criticisms and verbal attacks.

Every job has its downside. If you cannot manage that downside, don't bother running for elective positions. Anambra guber election is the most predictable in Nigeria
Like seriously, I laughed at the lots that were over estimating themselves calling Soludo one time governor. Regardless of his shortcomings, and all men have theirs, Soludo remains one of the shining lights from the south east.
