I just read a post stating that Trump has given green light for US soldiers to begin operation in Nigeria. If this is true then Nigerians are in for another round exploitation as their country is about to be turned to theatre for proxy war of world powers. I had made several posts online warning Nigerians even before Tinubu was sworn in that he must never be allowed to continue as president, because he serves foreign interests as he was positioned to destroy the people but many of you especially on this platform kept insulting and supporting him due to foolish tribalism, now it is glaring that the ultimate goal to which Tinubu was installed is about to be achieved as Nigerians gradually lose their country and sovereignity over deliberately orchestrated cosmetic rise of insecurity, terrorism being supported by powerful local and international political forces.

US military intervention never comes as a free gift as there is always a price that must be paid by the host country. No country that America claims to help militarily remains the same as it gets worse, you can see it for yourself in Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq. Nigerians would've avoided getting into this mess by impeaching and removing Tinubu's compromised government from power and decentralising constitutional/economic powers to regional governing platforms in order to de-escalate the violence and regional tensions over Islamic sharia agitations from the northern part of the country. Once US military establishes a base in the name of fighting "Christian Genocide", it will be too late to salvage what is left of Nigeria's independence/sovereignity as proxy wars, economic exploitation and international propaganda will take centre stage leading to more violence and killings especially in the northern region. No one is spared from a military conquest when a powerful nation like USA is involved because it is not really about security but economic benefits derived from Nigeria's natural resources, they may never leave once they come.

If there are still patriots who care about the future of Nigerians and generations yet unborn now is the time to stand up and do something about what is happening in Nigeria. Tinubu never promised to improve Nigeria's security or unite the country over his Muslim/Muslim ticket, his government is highly compromised over these killings/terrorism going on. Unless the terrible government is removed, Nigeria will gradually play into hands of powerful countries like USA that seeks to advance it's own selfish political agenda that is not in the interest of Nigerians and their future.....

You are right, also he doesn't buy the goods they sell in market....

Zonefree:
As long as Soludo is not paying shop rent for traders, he has no right to tell them when or when not to open shop.

What a man does in his home is of no business to you as you do not live with him. There is nothing wrong with the igbos choice of dedicating a day to show solidarity in the struggle to free Nnamdi Kanu. I believe the reason why some South East governors like Soludo are restless is because they have a hand in the continued imprisonment of Nnamdi Kanu. Let Soludo and other igbo governors take a stand with the people to demand for Kanu's freedom if they have nothing to hide instead of using government might to try to silence the people. There is no peace without justice....

jom28gy:
Already you said is your take, let it be! Soludo is on a right path, does sit at home, releases Kanu?, what positive advances is sit at home doing to south east or to Nnamdi Kanu? Is Nnamdi Kanu incarceration in South East,?To have effect, all these things should be done in Abuja not in South East, so that the people that holds him hostage will feel it and do something, not coming to south east and distrute people's business in the name of sit at home,
Reason properly,

It was not surprising to see how low Soludo will go in his quest to bury the truth and try to subvert the will of his people over the unjust incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu by Nigerian government. Soludo and other South East leaders failed their people by not doing enough to secure the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu whose only crime was to liberate his people from injustice. How will Monday sit at home protest end when Nnamdi Kanu is not free?

The fact that the traders obeyed out of fear to open the market this week does not mean that all is well, Soludo knows the truth that Nigeria can never work in its current form but due to his selfish political ambition, he chose to be a willing stooge, a foot servant for those who believe they own Nigeria and are bent on oppressing his people (the igbos).

Whether Soludo succeeds in his drive to keep Onitsha main market open on Mondays, it won't stop the sit at home protest that will continue in other parts of the state and South East region in general until the will of the people prevails....Nnamdi Kanu may be in jail but his legacy can never be buried or forgotten, at the appointed time he will regain his freedom....

Alex Otti, Charles Soludo, Hope Uzodinma, Mba and other South East governors, you may think that you are wise by secretly supporting Nnamdi Kanu imprisonment, making empty promises of securing his freedom while you continue to deceive yourselves thinking that the people don't know your game plan as 2027 election draws near. I hope you are prepared for a rude awakening because if Nnamdi Kanu is not released before 2027, there may be no 2027 election in igbo land, Monday sit at home protest is only a prelude for what is coming. For siding with your people's oppressors in denying them justice, none of you will escape the wrath of the people for the role you played when the time comes....

Akpabio did not merit his seat as the senate president as he came in through the back door, he has been useless so far to Nigerians... He still has little time left to write his name in gold to be remembered as the senate president that saved his people by restructuring or dividing Nigeria.... The ball is in his court....

Senator Akpabio is not going to be remembered as the worse senate president not because of his corrupt past or the fact that he oversaw the most compromised corrupt weak national assembly in Nigeria's history, he will be remembered as the worst senate president because he blew the golden opportunity to liberate his South South people as the leader of national assembly by not using his political powers/influence to achieve the total decentralisation/restructuring of Nigeria's political/economic powers to regions/states. Akpabio has wasted 4 years in the senate, he will surely regret this when he leaves office and is faced with the reality of what he did to his people. It may take another 20 to 30 years for another south south politician to become senate president. Nigeria the British contraption is doomed as people of the South will continue to face mass killings, existential threats from Northern blood thirsty jihadists, Akpabio's oil rich state Akwa Ibom and other southern states stands to gain immensely both politically and economically if Nigeria is totally restructured or dissolved today.

Although, it is not too late for Akpabio to do the needful but if he fails to pursue this one thing then he will surely be remembered as the worst senate president Nigeria ever had.....

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that the conviction of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was based on what it described as ‘engineered insecurity’.

IPOB made the assertion in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday. The pro-Biafra group noted that Kanu could not have been responsible for the insecurity in the South-East while he was held in solitary confinement, with no access to phone or the outside world.

IPOB blamed individuals it described as ‘desperate political’ actors for the violence that rocked the South-East after Kanu’s extraordinary rendition from Kenya, where he was arrested in 2021.

According to the statement, the insecurity was engineered to frame Kanu and IPOB as terrorists, to pave way for his eventual conviction.

Parts of the statement, titled ‘Engineered insecurity and judicial absurdity: How a man in solitary confinement was blamed for crimes he could not have committed’, read, “The noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) draws the attention of Nigerians and the international community to a dangerous lie that has been carefully constructed to justify the continued detention and conviction of our leader.

"Immediately after the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in June 2021, desperate political actors—many of whom have long envied his influence—unleashed violence and chaos across the South-East. Their aim was simple and wicked: create insecurity and blame it on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, so they could later claim they were right to abduct, detain, and jail him.

“These are the same people who rushed to proscribe IPOB, after Ekwulobia and Aba mega rallies in mid-2017 where millions trooped out just to catch a glimpse of our leader, even though the Abuja Federal High Court had earlier in March 2017 ruled that IPOB is not a terrorist organisation. In plain terms, a group declared lawful by a court was later branded “terrorist” through ex-parte for political convenience.

“These are the same people that killed IPOB members that organised and attended President Trump Solidarity Rally in Igweocha (Port Harcourt) on 20 January 2017. Again, Biafrans killed without justification.

"It is painful to note that yet again, the same forces behind the manufactured insecurity are the same ones who unleashed Operation Python Dance, a military operation that targeted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for assassination and led to the killing of unarmed civilians across the South-East with 28 murdered in his country home.”

IPOB said it was shocking that the trial judge in Nnamdi Kanu’s trial blamed him for insecurity in the South-East without any evidence.

The statement added, “Most shocking of all is what followed in court. In his judgment, Omotosho repeatedly cited insecurity in the South-East from 2022 onwards and blamed it on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu—despite the fact that Mazi Kanu had already been abducted, rendered to Nigeria, and locked in underground solitary confinement.

"Let Nigerians and the world pause and think. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was held incommunicado in the custody of the (DSS) in Abuja. He had no phone, no visitors, no access to the outside world. Yet he was blamed for events said to have happened in the South-East, outside prison walls.

“This is not justice. It is judicial nonsense. Let us state the absurdity clearly: A man in total state custody was convicted for crimes allegedly committed while he was in chains.

In any sane country, such reasoning by a supposed learned judge would attract instant condemnation from fellow judges and the legal fraternity. But in Nigeria, the plot was so well executed that many people stopped asking basic questions.”

IPOB insisted that there is no evidence to tie Kanu to the violence and killings blamed on him.

“Nobody has asked: Who did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu kill? Who came to court to say Kanu killed their brother, sister, or parent? Where is the evidence—bodies, witnesses, forensic proof? There is none. Absolutely none.

“Those who planned this deception did a thorough job. They confused the public, silenced questions, and drowned the truth in propaganda. But no lie lasts forever.

“If these Igbo politicians and their external sponsors had been honest enough to admit that the insecurity story was deliberately created just to jail Kanu, our leader would have willingly sacrificed himself if it would have saved the innocent Biafrans who were killed simply to build a case against him. Their blood cries out,” the group added.

IPOB called on the international community, foreign governments and parliaments, human rights organisations, lawyers and judges of conscience,
“to look beyond propaganda and confront the truth: this conviction is built on manufactured insecurity, no evidence, and the criminalisation of political dissent”.

“History will remember those who spoke the truth—and those who used chaos to silence a man,” IPOB declared.

What you said about Nnamdi Kanu regarding his views toward your tribe yoruba is a lie.... If you don't know, here is a video where he explained his views about your tribe and end SARS protest...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZT8pJq1jJU

Godfullsam:
You said yorubas are silence about the injustice done against kanu by the Nigerian government .
Who were the people that led the a protest in Abuja late last year for the release of kanu?
Sowore and Deji Adeyanju.
How many prominent Igbo have come out to lead any protest?

For your information, I am not a fan of kanu because I am not an igbo and kanu is not fighting for my cause. I have nothing to gain from kanu. The last time I checked, kanu hate my tribe - the yorubas with passion.

There evidences in many of his broadcasts radio Biafra where he ordered his foot soldiers aka ipob terrorists to burn down Lagos and destroy all the churches owned by Yoruba clerics in Igbo land.

How do you expect me to like such a person? I can never pretend to like someone that openly hates me.
You guys should fight your fights and leave yorubas out of it. The yorubas have faced their own injustices in the past, but we handled them with deplomacy, not with emotions.

How many Igbos flood the streets of Abuja to protest when Abiola was jailed. Don't you know that it was an igbo man that first challenged the result of abiola's victory in court which eventually led to the annulment?

You want me to take you back to memory lane abi?

No vex me this evening o

When it comes Nnamdi Kanu you and many others especially from the South West region (Yorubas) will resort to your usual mischievous rhetorics of accusing those that speak for him of emotional outbursts but all of you continue to remain silent over the glaring injustice and illegalities that characterised his sentencing on November 20, 2025. You can not hide your hypocrisy and malice towards Nnamdi Kanu any longer because you all have been exposed for what you are. Even if Katsina government that can release deadly terrorists had the power to release him, you and others will alway come up with a reason to justify his imprisonment..... There is nothing left to say about Nigeria, you can continue to deceive yourself but be rest assured that the injustice done to Kanu will surely go round in due time until you accept the inevitable truth about what Nigeria represents and begin the process of championing a peaceful exist from it if total decentralization is not attainable ....

Godfullsam:
Everything is not about fight and emotion. Those bandits criminals released in Katsina state were sentenced by the Katsina government.

Kanu's case is different. He was sentenced by the federal government. Only the federal can release him or otherwise. No state government can release him, not even the Sokoto state governor where he is currently serving his terms.

You should know how things are done in Nigeria. unfortunately you don't stay in Nigeria, you stay in the 'zoo'.

Katsina government has no power to release Kanu but has the power to release deadly convicted terrorists.... Does it make sense to you? Does it not show that Nigeria is not a country but a shameless zoo... Are you happy living in a zoo?

Godfullsam:
Katsina state government has no power to release kanu.

The bandits released were captured and jailed by the Katsina state government.

Only the federal government can decide kanu's fate.

Nigeria the country that keeps fooling itself as a democratic entity, a shameless unjust country has once again proven to the international community why it does not deserve any merits as a failed country.... Read today's news from the zoo republic below as featured in the home page of this website "Katsina State Government Releases 70 Bandits"....

The Katsina State Government has defended the release of 70 suspected bandits from custody, saying the decision was part of a broader peace initiative and hostage-swap agreement designed to restore stability in conflict-affected communities.

The State Commissioner for Information, Salisu Bala, said the move followed appeals from traditional rulers and community leaders who were directly involved in negotiating a peace accord with repentant bandit groups operating in frontline local government areas.

An earlier official letter indicating that courts had been directed to approve the release of the detainees sparked widespread public criticism, with many Nigerians questioning why suspects accused of grave offences, including killings, rape and destruction of property, were being freed.

However, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Nasir Muazu, had previously clarified that the releases were tied to conditions agreed under the peace deal, including the exchange of captives held by the bandits.

Bala disclosed that, in line with the agreement, more than 1,000 hostages were released from several local government areas, including Safana, Kurfi, Faskari, Sabuwa, Danmusa, Malumfashi, Musawa, Matazu, Jibia, Bakori and Dutsinma.

He explained that following the release of the hostages, traditional rulers and community representatives formally approached the state government to facilitate the release of detained bandits to fulfil the communities’ obligations under the accord.

The government, he said, reviewed legal and judicial processes before approving the request.

According to Bala, the peace initiative has already yielded tangible improvements in security and economic activity across affected areas.

Farming has resumed, markets in Danmusa and Batsari have reopened, and displaced residents are returning to their communities to harvest crops.

He urged the public to support the peace process and avoid politicising the matter, noting that similar exchange arrangements are common in conflict resolution efforts.

He argued that no one would oppose a deal capable of securing the release of loved ones held in captivity.

Bala reaffirmed that the administration of Governor Dikko Umaru Radda remains committed to ending banditry and kidnapping in Katsina State through lawful, community-driven strategies aimed at achieving lasting peace.

Terrorists after killing, raping and destroying properties are pardoned and reintegrated into the society while Nnamdi Kanu who has done nothing wrong, who has not held a gun to shoot, kill any one is sentenced to life imprisonment just because he is an igbo man who chose to liberate his people from the unjust shameless country called Nigeria.... What is happening now is a testament to what Kanu has always said about Nigeria and why the igbos need to demand for a peaceful exist from the contraption.... It is glaring, the only way out for the few sane upright people within the contraption is to push for a total decentralization (restructuring) or dissolution of the country...

There is nothing left....

We shall see how it goes as I don't think you are yet to come to terms with what Nigeria represents.... I still maintain my earlier opinion that Peter Obi is better off using his popularity to push for restructuring or dissolution of Nigeria if he really cares about helping Nigerians.....

DMerciful:
You don't know Obi thats why you speak like this. Obi is ruthless, don't let his soft spoken nature fool you.

If there's any politician that can make fundamental changes, its Obi

As a follow up to his military invasion threats he made severally through his social media posts, Trump surprised the world by launching an unprovoked military attack against Venezuela which led to the kidnap of the country's president. This action including US latest military activities in several other countries including Nigeria in clear violation of sovereignty should serve as a pointer that the US may no longer want to adhere to international law when dealing with other countries. This dangerous precedence been set by USA will definitely not end with Venezuela if the world does not unite and call out America. By unilaterally invading Venezuela and kidnapping it's president, Trump should know now that he no longer possess the moral authority to condemn or criticize Putin over his actions in Ukrain. I will not be surprised if Putin kidnaps Ukrain President tonight.

As Trump, Putin and Xi plunders, violates the sovereignity of Venezuela, Ukrain and Taiwan, it is pathetic to see the United Nations (UN) reduced to a paper tiger as it continues to play the role of a lifeless spectator, proving itself incapable of curtailing the excesses of these powerful countries in the world stage. It is glaring that should US, Russia, China, Israel et al continue on it's military invasions and conquests, all countries of the world will need to brace up as there will certainly be international consequences.

Trump's military invasion of Venezuela has once again exposed US hypocrisy as a nation that only preaches democracy when it is expediate but won't hesitate to unleash militarized undemocratic impunity to force it's will against third-world developing countries in order to advance it's selfish undemocratic agendas....

The problem is not US but Tinubu, if you want to be respected by the international community then a dubious character like Tinubu should not be allowed to be the president of your country....

odejimioflagos:
I dont believe the US military airstrikes are justified. Nigeria is a sovereign nation and they should respect that.

The country deserve better as Peter Obi can not be trusted, he hardly stands by his word and he is too soft to deliver the revolutionary changes that Nigeria urgently needs. IMHO, one of the main reason why Obi is been portrayed as a messiah is due to media hype and cult like following from people like you.... If I am to choose a candidate that I think may offer a selfless service to Nigerians even if his life may be in danger, I will choose Sowore over Obi. The reality here is that Tinubu and those who believe they own Nigeria will not go easily and will fight to maintain the status quo, Nigerians will need a fearless candidate that will not chicken out when it gets tough..... Peter Obi may have good intentions but I don't see him possessing such fearless leadership qualities.... He will do more for his people the igbos and Nigeria if he uses his popularity to push for restructuring or division of the country through a peaceful national referendum instead of contesting in the presidential election....

DMerciful:
You're extremely shortsighted, narrow-minded and mischievous.

Inspite of the constant falling of the Nigerian state under APC, you want the status quo to remain?

Kanu was jailed based on a repealed law.....

sreamsense:
So, you now believe KANU has his shortcomings that lead him to jail, right? Why must it take you eternity to realize this despite I warned you ? When I told you the truth about KANU and how he couldn't escape going to jail, instead you were leaving in your fantasy world of your deceit and propaganda forcing your lies unto our throats to believe you by force? Time has caught up with you, your propaganda and lies had expire time which got expired to your face.

Now, KANU celebrated Christmas and new years in the prison as parts of rewards for killing innocents directly and indirectly. I expected you to do more than this by going to Sokoto to celebrate with him and not just with mere talks you are known for on this channel. KANU should turn a new leaf in the prison, become born again in the prison and let God humble him and turn to be a great tool in the hand of God in the prison, then; God can put his freedom from prison through right leaders that will work for his freedom.

For now, let him enjoy the fruits of his horrible past and wastage of innocent souls. If you care too much for him, kindly apply to stay with him for at least one year in the prison

Nigeria is glaringly a lawless country masking as a democracy.... Sheikh Gumi has exposed their shameless hypocrisy towards Nnamdi Kanu.... May 2026 be Kanu's year of victory, may it be the year that he will laugh at his oppressors....

gidgiddy:
Well, you have a Nigeria where unconvicted terrorists from Boko haram, ISWAP, Killer herdsmen and bandits are all prancing about with their amnesty, peace deal, ruga and negotiations

So please spare us the sermon. The only reason Nnamdi Kanu is in jail is because he is Igbo

I hope Kanu or any one who knows him here sees this message and relays it to him. Thanks!

Mazi Kanu, I know that 2025 has been a year of great pain, great injustice towards you, your family and your cause to liberate your people. My wish and prayer for you come 2026 is that Chineke (Chukwu Okike) will forgive your shortcomings, look upon you with mercy and deliver you from the hands of those that seek your destruction and downfall. That those laughing at you today will be put to shame this year. Though it may seem dark as many may tend to forget you, do not despair, never stop standing for the truth as you are not alone in this battle, Chineke is with you always!

May Chineke grant you victory, freedom from prison and bless you abundantly this year.....

Big Bro, you are a source of inspiration to me and so many other people you may not know, remain strong, it is not over.....Happy New Year!

To those that commented above and think that I created this thread to attack ADC or in support of APC/Tinubu, I did not create this thread to attack or support any party or politician. I made this thread out of concern regarding glaring lack of integrity on the path of Peter Obi as Nigerians seem to be carried away by the euphoria of his political campaign over the 2027 presidential election. I wonder, if Obi can blatantly renege on commitments he made to his state supporters and betrayed APGA, the party that kickstarted his political career, how can Nigerians trust him? What is different between who he is now and then?

When I think of Peter Obi's multiple defections and his 2027 ADC presidential ambition, I remember this.....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUlEp1OHRMw&pp=ygUVUGV0ZXIgb2JpIGkgd2lsbCBhcGdh

The national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Victor Oye, has revealed that a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, vowed never to leave the party till death do them part.

However, Obi, who emerged as the governor of the state in 2006 and spent two terms in office, later defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in 2014. He became the Vice-Presidential candidate for the PDP in the 2019 general election.

Speaking about the defection and how APGA was able to win the Anambra election on Arise TV, Oye noted that Obi has not achieved anything politically since he defected because of the covenant he made with the party.

Oye stated that for Obi to achieve anything politically, he will have to return to APGA.

He said, “Remember that Peter Obi was in APGA and when he was with APGA, he performed superlatively well. The moment he left APGA, the APGA spirit left him. He has never achieved anything politically ever since. If he wants to achieve anything politically, he should come back to APGA; then, we will now re-ignite the APGA spirit in him.

“That is how it is done. Let me tell you, let him continue to jump from pillar to post, he cannot achieve anything because APGA gave him a platform and he took a vow that he will never leave APGA until death does them part. Now he left APGA; what do you expect would happen when you take a vow? A vow is a covenant and you must keep it. That is what is happening here.”

The APGA national chairman further cleared the air about his statement, noting that the party is not into occultism.

He said, “I did not mean a cult orientation when I said that Peter Obi vowed never to leave APGA till death do them part. What I said was an open thing and there is a video to that effect. For me, I believe in covenant. He made a covenant with God and not with APGA; is APGA God? He said he will never leave APGA until death does them part. That was what he said, it is open, I have the video.

“I am a Christian and I don’t have any business with cults; I don’t believe in that. My God is sufficient for me. What my God cannot do for me does not exist. In fact, what God cannot do for me, let it be. I am very proud of the God I serve.”

You are right but there is an adage that he who fetches firewood infested with ants invites lizards to his house.... Nigerians must respect themselves to earn the respect of other countries....

Salewa97:
The mentioned countries should first of all solve their internal problems before thinking of meddling in other countries affairs.

Charity begins from home

Nigeria can not work in it's current form because it is a forced union based on selfish economic interests of the British colonialists that formed it. If Nigeria must exist to serve the interest of the people then it needs to be totally restructured (Total Decentralization) to devolve economic and political powers to states/regions. If this can not be achieved then it is better to divide the country....

kb83:
The truth is the northern part of Nigeria must embrace the middle belt and the rest of the country as brothers irrespective of their faith for one Nigeria to be. Anything else is deception and falsehood.

Well, I never supported or voted for Tinubu, in response to your comment, it's self-deceit to fold your arms and think that a corrupt evil government run by someone like Tinubu will work for your interest without protesting against the government's complicity and demanding for what you want. I will once again remind you and other Nigerians pretending to be helpless that the option to demand for the impeachment and removal of a bad government is well within your rights. Nigerians should expect nothing to change if the people can not hold the government accountable.....

ogashman:
You just wrote trash 🗑️

Imagine blaming Nigerians for the insecurity bedeviling them instead the president you campaigned and voted for.

This is the height of self deceit.

How do we hold Tinubu accountable? By going to aso rock?

Is he deaf and dumb? Doesn't he read, listen or watch what is happening in the country he took oath to protect?

Terrorists kill and abduct people everyday and he says nothing.

No arrests, no prosecution,no conviction of these terrorists. Instead they are pardoned and released back into society as repentant terrorists.


Charlie Kirk was killed and Trump picked his assassin in less than 48hr.

The guy who missed assassinating Trump was picked in less than 48hrs.

Over here government would send their errand boys to tv stations to tell us why they can't arrest the culprits or why they can't be tracked.


Oga make u rest abeg.

If Tinubu was serious about fighting insecurity,the first thing he would have done was to abolish the rehabilitation of terrorists from the Buhari era but no, he continued where Buhari stopped.

If you cannot fix your house and prefer to rely on strangers to do it for you then you do not deserve to own the house as it will eventually be taken away from you....

If you cannot fix you house your neighbours will help you do that because you and your family are constituting nuisance to the community.

There is no way you can justify or whitewash the US military airstrikes in Nigeria because it remains a fact that Nigeria is a sovereign state. Even the USA will not allow another country to meddle in it's internal affairs the way it's government continue to do in Nigeria. The root problem when it comes to all the crisis going on in Nigeria is Nigerians, I say this is because Nigerians have consistently overtime demonstrated gross nonchalance towards doing any thing as a people to hold their government responsible. So one will ask why won't the situation get worse when Nigerians always prefer to fold their arms as a people and did nothing to hold their government accountable over the insecurity and terrorists ravaging the country. Why won't terrorism, crime rate go up when Nigerians allowed the situation to get worse by not mobilizing and pressurizing the government to do something about it. Trump and US government may have good intentions but the fact still remains that their military campaigns in Nigeria is a dangerous precedence to the country's sovereignty. IMHO, their constant push to tag the security crisis in Nigeria solely as christian genocide exposes their hypocrisy and true motives which may be to instigate a religious war. Nigeria's complex security crisis goes beyond persecution of christians because apart from real jihadists killing for religious purposes, there are also those killing for other reasons like fulani sponsored ethnic genocide (Ancestral land grabbing to expand their settlements), foreign backed Illegal miners killing to force relocation of indigenous people so as to gain access to their natural resource rich lands, bandits raiding communities to steal and kidnap for ransome, politicians occupying public offices and senior military officers sponsoring insecurity in order to profit from high security vote allocations and foreign aids programs.

If US, UK and their western allies like France who pretend to care about Nigeria truly want to help the country then all other factors I mentioned above must be considered as well. It is sad that many Nigerians who should know better regarding Nigeria's security issues have allowed themselves to be deceived in echoing western propaganda of christian genocide when it is not entirely true. I won't say that Trump's action in ordering US military intervention had no positive impact but the issue here is not about whether his military action was successful in the killing terrorists as what is at stake here is it's long term negative implications of exacerbating Nigeria's security situation leading to a full blown religious war that will lead to more deaths and destruction.

Nigerians must understand and learn from history that powerful countries like US do not offer free military charity programs, there is always a hidden agenda to advance their foreign policy interests which most times may not be in the interest of the host country (Afganistan, Libia, Iraq et al). The bottomline here is that a lasting solution to Nigeria's security crisis won't come from supporting foreign powers to invade the country as it is guaranteed to fail and may make it worse due to inherent selfish political interests that will always be the true motive behind these foreign powers. If Nigerians truly want to address the issue of terrorism and other security challenges affecting the country, then deliberate actions like mass peaceful protests, civil disobedience like nationwide seat at home must be conducted to show their displeasures, the government of the day must be held accountable.

Since the primary purpose of a democratic government is to provide security and welfare to the people which the Tinubu led government has failed and continue to fail woefully to do, instead of calling on foreign powers, there is a constitutional remedy that safeguards Nigeria's sovereignty and democracy, guarantees a faster, easier route which Nigerians can explore if they truly want to address the security crisis, this option is simply to demand for the impeachment, removal of Tinubu and his compromised government, to pave the way for a general election that will allow Nigerians elect another government that will do what they want like fighting corruption, restructuring or dividing the country and tackling the security crisis. Nigerians need to understand that they must do something as a people to save themselves as there is no easy route in addressing the issues they face. I will reiterate once more, there is no silver bullet, Trump, US, UK, France, Germany do not really care as they are all pursuing their own personal agendas. The solution to Nigeria's problems is local and not foreign, Tinubu's terrible APC government must end if Nigerians still want a country....

If Nigerians want a better country then there should be massive calls for the impeachment and removal of Tinubu as Nigeria's president. His government needs to be dissolved so that Nigerians can live....

You are always fond of making silly comments. What has this news got to do with opposition political parties?

Salewa97:
The opposition are just too petty

I did not call Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist.... It was your compromised government that called him a terrorist but could not prove it or provide concrete evidence that he is a terrorist during the sham trial....

odejimioflagos:
This is a clear case of double standard. How can you call Kanu a terrorist and then turn around to say he was unjustly labeled a terrorist? What are we saying here?

His group killed many people. He should be in prison for life.

The Take It Back Movement (TIB) acknowledges reports of recent military action conducted by the United States against ISIS-affiliated elements operating within Nigeria.

We recognize the grave threat posed by terrorist groups whose activities continue to claim innocent lives and destabilize communities across the country. While we support genuine efforts to end terrorism in Nigeria, it is important to note that we do not welcome bombing of our country by a foreign power done in the guise of fighting terrorism. We have seen the result of US led interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and witnessed the devastating outcome. But we hold the government of Bola Tinubu fully accountable for inability to defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity from internal insurgents (Terrorists, bandits), and foreign aggressors, Donald Trump!

Last year, the EndBadGovernance protest called on the Tinubu government to end terrorism in the country. But the government responded with arrogance, and with brute force. Reports documented over 40 deaths, and 2000 arrests nationwide. Children were jailed for 30 days, and were to be tried for treason, a capital offense. Court recently dismissed a treason charge against 11 activists that were jailed for several weeks for participating in the protest. The Tinubu government violently dismissed genuine public concerns on escalating poverty, and insecurity in the country. That Nigerians are unfortunately cheering the ongoing violation of our national sovereignty is a vote of no confidence on the government of Tinubu.

Even the constitution of our country, despite its limitations, some of which we have always pointed out, acknowledges that security, and welfare shall be primary purpose of government. But the Tinubu government clearly lacks capacity to deliver on this objective. Sovereignty belongs to the people from which the government derives power. The Tinubu government have also displayed utter lack of capacity to defend the sovereignty of the Nigerian people. There is no reason to keep the government of Tinubu in power. He must go!

If he allows the release of the document, Tinubu will be indicted.... Akpabio himself may also be implicated....

trutharena:
I think Akpabio should have allowed the release of the document.
