This hypothetical scenario of voting Jihadist shouldn't be coming from someone who voted Buhari twice but drew the line when it comes to Tinubu

Between Tinubu and Buhari who is closer to Jihad

Lets ask if he was cut off by family for his electoral choice

Not forgetting he once wished for a governor that he knew was in no position to be flying an airplane to take control of one knowing that'd ensure that Peter Obi (one of hundreds of passengers) died in the crash

Same person that also expressed a desire to run down EndSARS protesters.

DonJ is a very interesting character, but his failure to see the contradiction in a lot of things he expresses with passion is always funny.

You need to have seen Calabar under Duke. That was the period the saying "Efik edi afia enwe" (transliterated as "Efiks are Whites" was most popular.

It was a crime to to drop litter in Calabar. It was under Akpabio too. Yes, you'll be picked by a taskforce for dropping litter even from a moving vehicle.

Cross River slacked under Imoke while Akwa Ibom picked up under Akpabio.

I have noticed the better-performing governors are those who fought their way to earn it without the backing of Godfathers.

Akpabio fought an institution to earn it so performed. Imoke was literally handed the reins and messed it up.

Donald Duke might not have been perfect, and certainly has his critics, but you can tell that the man had genuine love for this people and his city, and it showed in the way he cared for the state.

There's just too few governors focused on making cities livable, leave bridges and mighty structures, just see to the basics, clean streets, attention to drainage and sewage management, security, street lights, neat schools, books for kids, salaries for civil servants, traffic management, community health centers...these little things that just makes life easy enough.

When you look at the amount being mismanaged or stolen...

Then,u realise how rich you country is

That's why I said "all things considered", cause you and I know that money will always be stolen, so what we're doing is workaround what's Constant K.

Trevor012:
I just googled and they are 180,000 personnel in the army. Minimum of 300k times that amount is 56billion monthly and you know higher ranks will definitely take 3x more. Do you really think that's sustainable.

All things considered, I don't think it's sustainable. The Nigerian Military already enjoy special status compared with other government employees.

I doubt renumeration is top 5 reasons why those guys aren't able to do the job of defeating terrorism, because in truth, there's very little you can pay someone that'd justify the sacrifice they make, especially in a war-time situation.

Ellexy:
Cc monerozi5590 you seem to have deliberately avoided this question.

Make e allow Raumdeuter dey bobo am, it's the same Raumdeuter that's today thanking God for Trump's intervention that only a couple months ago was saying Tinubu has made progress in security, after all they bombed UN building in Jonathan's tenure, and that was when suicide bombing was rife.

When the truth is the terrorists simply changed strategy, and Nigerians are way more terrorized and insecure than they were at the height of insecurity during Jonathan's tenure.

izzou:
The best thing that happened to Nigeria was Trump even raising dust about the killings....

If not, these people wouldn't have woken up at all

If Trump never spoke, it'd have been business as usual for Tinubu, and his minions would have been posting audio progress in security while the country burns to ash.

afrodoc2:
Unfortunately, the most important consideration when appointing ministers especially for an incoming president is how to ensure the posts are shared in a way that major contributors and loyalists are not left out.

With the situation we are in now, fighting an undeclared war, only competent and seasoned defence/intelligence vets should have been considered for that role.

Yea, this is always the reasoning, which considering politics as the business that it is, does makes sense, especially when you consider these critical parts of governance get the most budget allocated.

E go really hard this country make any sort of progress sha...

semid4lyfe:
I refuse to be morally blackmailed and drawn into your extreme hypothetical mind game. Your overly sanctimonious posturing has made you miss the fact that you're the one trying to cheapen the importance of political choices by reducing it to supporting jihad and violent extremism.

That you'd even go down the manipulative route of "what if your mother supports a candidate who subscribes to a jihadist ideology" in an attempt to use a fringe hypothetical to justify emotional overreaction to ordinary political choices, is shameful and defeats your arguement.

Most political differences in Nigeria by the voters on the candidates they support stem from ethnicity, party affiliation, insecurity, the economy, corruption perception, unemployment & job creation, power supply etc and things that will improve quality of life, not Jihad or extremist ideology.

None of those considerations warrant cutting off people who raised you, fed you and helped you during hard times. If you think otherwise, then it proves my point that politics has become your religion and a do-and-die affair. Na you holy pass. Na only you sabi road and anyone who disagrees with you is morally corrupt. Such intolerance and toxicity shouldn't be encouraged or emulated in our political sphere.

Normal people disagree during elections on a multitude of issues, without being labelled terrorist sympathizers. Mature and sensible adults know how to argue and have political differences without destroying their homes.

True.

izzou:
Listening to Musa's screening by the Senate, and one can see why every sector should be headed by someone who is experienced in it.

I don't know whether Musa will perform, but at least you can see him answer questions because he's a Security guy.

How did an ex Jigawa state governor head the defense ministry of a country battered with terrorists?

May God help Tinubu

When you try making this point they'd say these positions are political positions, hence it doesn't really matter, and the people that would do the work are civil servants.

I was watching a video from Obaseki's meet and greet in Manchester, and in his speech about the work he did in security, he mentioned them apprehending some Fulani guy with the map of the state written in Arabic

Trevor012:
I find this hard to believe.

Very true o, especially up North.

He has a solid case sha, just that it might tear through his pocket.

BlueRayDick:
He may pursue criminal case against her, but she's far away in America and may start claiming she's not feeling well and won't be available to appear in court the moment Dotun initiates a case against her.

I believe he can pursue it even abroad, especially as he has judgement from Nigeria backing his case.

This was some cold arse thing.

"Akwa Ibom Ranked the Cleanest State in Nigeria, Topping the List For the Eight Consecutive Year".

https://punchng.com/akwa-ibom-ranked-cleanest-state-in-nigeria-for-2025-report

Yes, but it is relative to other states. Funny how under Akpabio it was, you'd be surprised, twice as clean as it is today.

Under Akpabio, it was almost a crime to allow dirt or weed in drainages, or uncovered drainages in the major cities.

And two minutes after rainfall in the capital city, all drainage and rain water automatically siphoned into the underground drainage system.

Still the best governor (project execution-wise of his era) and the best the people of his state have had so far.


Sad also, that Cross River under Donald Duke use to hold this record. Now Calabar is, you know.

Akpabio the Senate President with all of his flaws and gaffes still gets a pass from his people because we haven't forgotten Akpabio the Governor. It's why he still gets defended or his people turning a blind eye to his flaws on the national stage.

Nigeria actually has a lot of states that people should normally be able to reside in if not for this insecurity issue, like there was a time last year I seriously considered moving to Akwa Ibom...Calabar is still quite decent, Jos is another nice city, Asaba and Delta environs isn't bad either...Kaduna is another state I've heard good things about, Enugu too, if not for the water issues.

That is the gift of Obasanjo regime to Nigeria, The scourge that should have been nipped in the bud at infancy has now grown into a giant tumor

When they told Obaanjo about the dangers, He told us it will die a natural death

OBJ did some pretty horrid things sha, yet na e mouth always dey sharp

Nigerians are naturally lawless sha, imagine disregarding a judgement that gave the father rights to see his kids and in the process stripping those girls of fatherly upbringing.

Women can be really crazy when hurt, and it's crazy that all the men she had in her lives, not even one could call her to order.

If Dotun is so inclined, he could actually pursue criminal charges against his ex-wife.

Didn't see your post before pressing submit button.
From his campaign slogan@ emi lo kan to the subsidy protest during GEJ. It is all about his political ambition. Nothing else matters.

Wen he dey shout "where are the cows", IT means that politics come first for him instead of national security. You wonder how the only farmer who successfully neutralized a murderous herdsman in self defense got life sentence from the apex court under his administration.
When the Agbado FC where shouting echoing the saying @ "the North Remembers".. significant political concession where made to the islamic Sharia North.

Yea, the only thing the man cares about is his political ambition.

Yea, there was a Nigeria before Sharia Law, all we're asking for is that we be taken back to that Nigeria.

Sharia law is a personal matter, and not a law that should be binding on those who don't want it binding on them, and it certainly shouldn't run contrary to the constitution.

Omoh it's not a Nigerian thing... There's a lot of underground talent who sing and perform better than most mainstream artist today yet they're not popular...Abi People like them Lil Nas x,Selena Gomez, Taylor swift wetin Dem dey sing...Even crap like Ice Spice blow that year

If na simply by quality of composition, na only Dem Motzart and all those classical musicians people for dey listen to.

It's no surprise this 2Face's girl is the way she is sha...I mean what are the values of the family she comes from? Brazen theft, entitlement and arrogance...the outcomes are quite predictable.

Imagine taking drugs while pregnant.

Emaprince:
But how did the woman manager to secure a visa for all of them without the consent of the father?

Is it that possible for one parent to just carry the kids and flee abroad

There was definitely a crime committed, either forged signatures or documents.

BlueRayDick:
None of this justifies denying him access to the kids. They had a divorce case going on before the ex-wife ran off with their kids.

Dotun is only facing all this because the ex-wife's family have means and influence.

The shiiit the ex-wife pulled was what Davido tried to pull on his baby mama before Dele Momodu who equally has means and influence cornered him. If Sophia didn't have Dele in his corner, she would most likely be in Dotun's shoes today.

Another evidence that Nigeria is a very anyhow country.

Of course, just trying to point out the sort of narrative the girls will be fed.

And in their case, it seems the court judgement barred both of them from traveling out with the kids.

GloriousGbola:
Pikin go find him papa is just talk imho

If you have never had any relationship with your child, a manipulative mother can tell the child anything. You were a wife beater, a philanderer, and a deadbeat.

For all intents and purposes dotun has been shut out of the children's life completely.

If the woman has remarried and the new husband is being a great stepdad, e don finish be that.

Odds are he philandered (especially as guyman in entertainment industry), maybe there was some domestic violence (most likely initiated by the woman), and him not being a part of the childrens lives this long automatically makes him deadbeat (regardless of what his true intentions might have been)...even Devil go shock for the kin story the woman and her family go cook give those kids.

Make the guy just go start another family, he has tried making it clear he wanted to be a part of this children's lives, hopefully the kids grow to be kind and sensible, and they would be able to determine for themselves what was truly what.

Wahala, see as prayers just dey flow

The OP posted rice and beans with two meat and bottle of coke for #200 and he rushed here to post it, implying that we were the ones looking for expensive food to eat, that other persons in the country were living comfortably on #200 per meal.
