The So called Master strategist don use borrowings immerse this country into unprecedented debt. They claim subsidy removal was going to make more money available to government to spend, instead na so so borrowings upon borrowings we just dey hear with no development on ground to show for it.



How does one even defend this ?

have you watched MHA anime?

I’ve watched S1 in 2016 but don’t remember much so does the series worth watching again since it won Anime of the year award and I’ve seen some videos of the S8 ending too

Looking at history Nigerian voting numbers has been reducing
Total number of votes in presidential elections

2011 37m
2015 28m
2019 26m
2023 23m

So I am being generous thinking it will remain the same

Truth is a lot of people who were gingered last election wont go to vote next year.

On this thread ask the people who voted in 2023 how many will go to vote

I remember when this young boy was made the president of Senegal, different quotes were flying around how he wants to make Senegal great, the funny one is how he won't be using convoy, our Nigerian people especially the obidients were using him as yardstick to judge leadership. It's been years yet no sensible thing from Senegal. Sometimes I feel something is wrong with the black mind

There is time for everything

Marathon is 42km, let me manage my 10km for now. I will run half-marathon later this year if I can find a good race around me, then I will enter marathon next year if the house can raise £2k for me cos marathon entry no cheap. I will have to travel abroad to get a marathon entry in another country cos everything is sold out so flight, hotel and entry ticket is involved.

🪖Federal Government asked States of the Federation to recruit Forest Guards through the office of National Security Adviser (ONSA) so they can be properly Armed and regulated, Some states including those in the South West have refused to do so.

All these are excuses. People still vote along racial lines even in America

MorataFC:
I don’t think Nigeria is ripe for widespread gun ownership. Though It may reduce some cases of banditry or kidnapping, but it will also increase everyday violence and crimes.

Many issues people currently leave for God, family, elders, or the law because they cannot physically retaliate will suddenly start being “settled” personally once guns become easily available.
Debt issues, land disputes, tribal or ethnic disagreements, relationship problems, road rage, and ordinary arguments could easily turn deadly.

Even worse, there are situations where people already feel frustrated because powerful people often escape justice. Cases where someone knows the law may protect a rich or influential person, or where a case gets to the police station and money changes everything, are examples of matters many people normally leave for God before, But once guns are easily accessible, some people may decide to take matters into their own hands instead of leaving for God or relying on the weak system

In a country like Nigeria, we are already struggling with tension, corruption, and weak law enforcement, more guns could easily bring more bloodshed than security.


I bought 3 plots of land in 2015 for close to 1 million, the same man who sold the land to me later resold it to another person in 2020.
I have not received a single naira in compensation or refund. Meanwhile, land in that same area now costs over 3 million naira per plot.
And this kind of thing happens on a daily basis in Nigeria, while our law enforcement agencies are not really helping matters. Situations like this are part of the reason some people argue against widespread gun ownership. Personally, even if I had a gun, I will not do anything, but another person in the same situation might decide to take matters into his own hands.

I hear what you said and you didnt lie. Today someone in Naija govt is saying people should apply for gun license and arm themselves. I saw a Yoruba Pastor recently encouraging his congregation to also do voodoo, Pastors and Imams used bulletproof wearing guards

A good guy with a gun is the solution to a bad guy with a gun. Any other thing na deception

Pale dem don already summon Rambo and commando to run the matter.

PRESS RELEASE

UPDATE ON NIGERIA- UNITED STATES JOINT STRIKES ON ISIS: FORCES DELIVER DEVASTATING BLOW, ELIMINATE 175 TERRORISTS

The Defence Headquarters wishes to announce major successes in continuing counterterrorism operations in close coordination with United States Africa Command against ISIS terrorists in North East Nigeria.

It will be recalled that the joint strikes started a few days ago. As of 19 May 2026, assessments indicate that 175 ISIS terrorists have been eliminated from the battlefield.

The joint strikes have resulted in the destruction of ISIS checkpoints, weapons caches, logistical hubs, military equipment and financial networks used to sustain terrorist operations.

The operations have also resulted in the elimination of several senior ISIS leaders, including Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, one of the most significant ISIS operatives in the world.

Al-Minuki played a central role in ISIS external operations, coordinating terrorist financing, recruitment, logistics and attack planning targeting Nigerians and innocent civilians around the world. His death severely disrupts ISIS command, operational coordination and external attack networks.

Other terrorist figures eliminated include Abd-al Wahhab, ISWAP senior leader responsible for coordinating attacks and distributing propaganda, Abu Musa al-Mangawi, ISWAP senior member and Abu al-Muthanna al-Muhajir, ISWAP senior media production team manager and close confidant to al-Minuki.

The joint strikes have further reinforced what the Armed Forces of Nigeria have consistently done over the years - hunt down and kill terrorists anywhere they are in Nigeria.

The joint operations will continue to hunt down and destroy those who threaten our nation and regional stability.

Chai! Pa Nwoko bites the dust

So what happens to his Anioma state?

Ned has been pushing for the creation of an Anioma state, and it should be added to the SE. Okowa supports it, but says it should stay in the SS.

With Okowa going to the Senate, that dream might die off, because the Senate won't add a 7th state for the SS.

TemporaryHansel:
Bandits now operating more intensely in the SW and yet master strategist isn't doing anything, just focused on only politics as usual.

At this point, it is becoming obvious that even if 2000 people are killed daily in every state in the country, Tinubu won't care.

Is it until Lagos and Abuja are involved that they'll know it's human lives being sniffed out here and not chicken lives?

The useless Nigerian military and police force are nowhere to be found, they are only active against unarmed/defenceless civilians.

TemporaryHansel:
Yeah. To be fair to him, nobody predicted the master will defect to APC. I think that EFCC case made him do it, to avoid unnecessary disturbance.

Akinlot:
You perhaps read that wrongly. I said defected not defeated

izzou:
Any specific reason why Ned cannot beat Okowa?

Is it because he has done a lot of years already?

TemporaryHansel:
If Okowa contest for the Senate seat for Delta North, which is likely, there's no way Ned will win. Ned cannot win Okowa in a primary election. That's why he ran from PDP to APC, now Okowa is also in APC, where's he going to run to now? Maybe he'll run to LP, because Ned Nwoko cannot beat Okowa in a primary election.

Akinlot:
I believe he defected before Okowa if I'm not mistaken.

With the benefit of hindsight, I doubt he would have defected to APC.
