Tinubu is commander-in-chief of Nigeria's armed forces.... He is responsible, he authorized and supports the initiative. Why is Ribadu who has on several occasions demonstrated sentimental bias towards fulani terrorists still your NSA? Let Tinubu sack Ribadu if he is not a terrorist sympathizer.
While you are likely a compassionate person, you always display a bigoted predisposition, like majority of your folks, for hosting compassion toward your own only and total incapacity for seeing the position of others. Tinubu "freed" no one. Operation safe corridor did.
"Operation safe corridor" started in 2016 , under Buhari, by the Nigerian Military is responsible for the rehabilitation and deradicalisation of terrorist who show the will to disarm and stop their terrorist acts.
It is backed, lauded passionately and endorsed by many world organisations like the UN. Even Niger Republic has a less pronounced version of operation safe corridor.
Mali, Burkina Faso and other Sahel nations plaques with terrorism have no formally announced program similar to operation safe corridor but they host vague, localised and informal schemes for 'deradicalisation and rehabilitation' of terrorists.
This reality should show wise Nigerians that the North, which views itself part of the Sahel nation more than a region of Nigeria, will naturally push for this "rehabilitation" agenda for their "misguided brothers" and will give no one peace unless they get what they want.
Especially with international organisations and agencies backing operation safe corridor as an effective non-kinetic option for fighting terrorism
With that said, what manner of unreasonable mindset then makes you people always eager to mention Tinubu over an initiative he can never win dismissing?
If reasonable how can your messiah worship of one man, i.e Kanu, prevent you from seeing what obvious let alone you resort to making this about Tinubu ?
The fact is that the interventionists nature of operation safe corridor , experts globally back the efficacy of, means it is a strategic program any terrorist who disarms and pledge to reform can be included in.
When has Kanu and all his IPOB affiliates ever admitted to wrongdoing, let alone disarming, for them to be considered suitable for operation safe corridor deradicalisation and rehabilitation?
Instead, and even as we see on Nairaland daily, the noise is that "Kanu and IPOB are innocent and have done no wrong" etc, etc whereas savvy Northerners are using the loophole to access "rehabilitation" option for their brother's Tinubu cannot abandon because it now has an international dimension after being created by Buhari in 2016.
The Tinubu government has intervened to say rehabilitated terrorists are never recruited into the army and our armed forces. That is all PBAT can do and nothing more.
It is why those of us wiser and more pragmatically intelligent than you ask for State/regional policing and regional autonomy so that we can take charge of what is in our power to control rather than obsess always over things we do not control as you lot do.
I am not a fan of operation safe corridor because I believe it will never work in Nigeria's case where many (because of political, religious and land. expansionism agenda) will continue sponsoring restive young Muslims, even from outside Nigeria, to continue killing and maiming innocent Nigerians.
Nonetheless, I recognise reality to note Tinubu can never win, for so many reasons, tryijf to wage war against a program bigger than Nigeria even.
Same you will deem him a monster and dictator etc, as Obi and Obidients do daily, if he shows disinterest in listening to global experts who swear by programs like operation safe corridor.
Bottom line is that you guys will always be on the receiving end of perpetual losses simply because, at all times, you display a self-harming propensity to work with emotions and sentiments rather than critical thinking, pragmatic logic and recognition of reality on the ground. Good luck to you
IGBOSON1: All they have against him are conjectural claptrap, gossip and what they say he said! A 'terrorist', yet till today they're yet to link even ONE terrorist act to the man!
Can you share the full video? I guess you've not watched the complete video to understand why he said that but drew your conclusion from a snippet in your desperate ploy to paint him as a terrorist.... Lame
WizardOfNG: I have no time, like others do, for making things up or lying against another man dishonorably.
Nigeria unjustly accused Nnamdi Kanu of being a terrorist, jailed him on trumped up terrorism charges while the real fulani terrorists after killing thousands of people regain their freedom by simply declaring repentance under the fake rehabilitation program been sponsored by Tinubu, NSA Ribadu and other government terrorist enablers....
IJAYA001: Why is the name of Nnamdi KANU always mention while the Terrorist in the north is being Free.
"Operation Safe Corridor" is just another fancy name Tinubu's government is using to continue Buhari's sulhu program setup to appease deadly fulani terrorists....
The top-secret programme, known as Sulhu, meaning peacemaking in Arabic, is encouraging senior jihadist commanders to defect while the government provides them with benefits, a report by The New Humanitarian said.
The Nigerian government under President Muhammadu Buhari, spends taxpayers' money to lure 'repentant' members of deadly terrorist group, Boko Haram in a special programme called 'Sulhu'.
The top-secret programme, known as Sulhu, meaning peacemaking in Arabic, is encouraging senior jihadist commanders to defect while the government provides them with benefits, a report by The New Humanitarian said.
With Sulhu, despite the atrocities committed by the terrorists, they are unlikely to be prosecuted, the report said. The Department of State Services (DSS) hopes to convert other jihadists under Sulhu.
The Bama massacre in 2014 led to the death of hundreds of civilians and over 26,000 people were displaced by fighting, but one of the commanders involved is now living free on the government’s payroll, according to the report. One of the former Jihadists identified as Malam Aliyu (not real name) has a new life now. He once served as a militant fighting with Boko Haram and then with the breakaway Islamic State of West Africa Province.
He remarried a former Boko Haram woman from the northeastern city of Maiduguri. The couple have been set up with the rent-free house in Kaduna, a business license, and a small monthly stipend provided by the DSS.
Sulhu has, however, generated controversies though it enjoys some support from some quarters who have described it as a smart warfare – a means to remove senior jihadists from the battlefield more effectively than the stuttering orthodox military campaign.
“We have a proof of concept; it’s working. It’s depleting the enemy’s fighting force," an Abuja-based analyst told the New Humanitarian.
But the men on the Sulhu programme are almost certain to have been involved in atrocities. They have not been granted a formal amnesty, but neither have they been held to account for any crimes committed in a brutal conflict that is now in its twelfth year. It’s a war that has killed 35,000 people – 350,000 if you include the victims of the accelerating humanitarian crisis – and upended the lives of millions more, according to the UN.
Sulhu grew out of the behind-the-scenes attempts to free the more than 270 Chibok schoolgirls seized by Boko Haram in 2014.
Under Sulhu, defectors are enrolled in a six-month “deradicalisation” course in the military’s demobilisation and reintegration centre in Mallam Sidi, in northeastern Gombe State. After promising to renounce violence and be good citizens, they are issued a graduation certificate, signed by a high court judge – and some have then gone on to set up businesses, from cap-making to chicken-rearing.
Sulhu is run by the DSS and the military but is separate from the army’s much larger disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration initiative, known as Operation Safe Corridor (OSC) and also based in Mallam Sidi.
OSC is aimed at low-risk former combatants, although as many as 75 percent of those on the programme may never have held a weapon – just villagers snagged in the military’s catch-all dragnets, with years spent in detention without trial.
Those on the sulhu initiative are the turbaned rijal seen in the low-resolution YouTube videos, exultant in victory, killing without remorse. Before joining ISWAP, prior to the 2016 split from Boko Haram, these men had been obedient to a maximalist “takfir” creed, promoted by then-leader Shekau, who declared that anybody living outside their zone of control was an infidel, punishable by death or enslavement.
ISWAP is militarily on the front foot, but there can be exhaustion with the years of conflict for any number of reasons, explained a Nigeria-based researcher, who asked not to be named so they could speak freely. “Some [defectors] have lost faith in their leaders, accusing them of corruption; some have even forgotten why they were fighting; others just want their children to go to school.”
And there’s no appetite from the government to even begin to publicly discuss Sulhu. Yet almost 60 percent of people surveyed across the northeast in 2018 said they could agree to reconciliation with repentant jihadists if that was a path to peace: though acceptance was far lower in areas hardest hit by the conflict, and among women – the victims of so much sexual violence.
For DSS, Sulhu makes strategic sense. Aliyu, for example, is a so-called “pioneer”, an early member of Boko Haram who has a deep and intimate knowledge of the movement and the men he fought with. Aliyu claimed since he crossed over two years ago, he had found other rijal wavering in their commitment to the jihadist cause and persuaded more than 20 of them to slip into frontline northern towns like Geidam, make pre-arranged contact with the military, and then start their journey into the sulhu programme.
The conversations aren’t one-way, either. Aliyu’s former comrades bait him, reminding him of the life he led in the dawla – the territory ISWAP administers under shariah law and regards as independent from Nigeria. In this zone, in the far north of Borno and Yobe states, beyond the reach of the military and aid agencies, rijal have almost total power over at least one million villagers they refer to as awam – or “commoners”.
“They say when you were in the lake [a region controlled by ISWAP], you were somebody important, now you have nothing,” Aliyu explained.
However, it is unclear why Aliyu abandoned the Jihad. There are speculations that Aliyu and some of his men had rustled cattle in the Lake Chad region and he was about to be punished. ISWAP considers stealing from Muslims a crime.
Aliyu denied he was at fault. Instead, he described a falling out with ISWAP’s then-commander of the army, Mustapha Kirimima, whose aggressive hardline stance persuaded others to also leave. Kirimima is reportedly in detention after a leadership shuffle earlier this year that made Abu Musab al-Barnawi – the eldest surviving son of the founder of Boko Haram – the interim leader.
Aliyu is trying to rebuild his life. He’s in school, learning to read and write English, and keen on it. He attends a regular mosque and is close to his new wife.
His mother is clearly a force in his life. She explained that after her divorce from Aliyu’s father when he was six, Aliyu grew up on the streets of Maiduguri as an almajiri – a child assigned to a religious teacher. He came under the sway of Boko Haram when it was still just a radical sect in the city. ”No matter what your son has done, he is still your son,” she said, Aliyu seated by her side. “If all mothers could welcome their sons, those in the forests, tell them no harm will come to them, they will come home,” she added, though her elder daughter is still in Boko Haram captivity in the bush.
In 2014, with the army poorly trained, under-equipped, and demoralised, Bama town fell to Boko Haram. In the early days of Boko Haram’s insurrection, the vigilante group known as the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) had managed to chase its followers out of Bama. The CJTF then went on to nearby Banki and did the same thing, rooting out insurgent cells and killing members.
Idris Osman (not real name), a former cameraman with Boko Haram’s media unit said many of those who joined in bringing down Bama town had come from the town.
“When we entered, we came with that grief. We didn’t differentiate who was CJTF; we took everyone to be our enemies. This wasn’t about religion; this was revenge.”
Some of what happened were filmed by Osman. A video captured by him shows men lying on the floor in the dormitory of the prison barracks. They are shot, with the gunmen stamping on their bodies to make sure they are dead.
Aliyu, on the other hand, said he took no part in the killings. Instead, he said, he was nursing a hand wound from a battle a few days earlier at a key road junction 18 kilometres from the town – from where Boko Haram captured the armoured vehicles they used in their final assault. When the order came to kill the captives, he was sick and resting, he said. ”I’m a good man,” he insisted. “The elderly, the young, and the vulnerable – I help them during Eid [after the holy month of Ramadan].” Rather than civilians, “I deal with the military and CJTF – those I kill,” he said.
Sixty-six-year-old victim and former wealthy businessman, Mala Musa recounts his experience of the incident. Musa said he remembers Aliyu driving through the streets, flanked by bodyguards on motorbikes.
He didn’t personally witness Aliyu shooting anybody, but his heartfelt assessment was: “All Boko Haram kill. They’re wicked. Anybody saying otherwise is lying.” And it’s not just the killing he grieves over. As the Nigerian army was about to retake the town in 2015, Boko Haram trucked all the women they had forcibly married – or intended to in the future – to Sambisa.”
Meanwhile, advocates of Sulhu argue that atrocities like Bama should not obscure the bigger picture, “If the justice system was functioning, that would be different. But the country has brought to trial very few people,” one of the supporters said. “They will just rot in jail. On the other hand, [if a senior commander joins Sulhu] and it leads to a momentum of guys coming out… [isn’t that better?].”
Supporters of Sulhu also stress it is not an amnesty programme. The slate, they say, has not been wiped clean for crimes committed. President Buhari has awarded them clemency, not forgiveness, and that can be withdrawn at any time.
However, civil society groups are highly critical of a process that favours perpetrators at the expense of their millions of victims.
An Abuja-based lawyer said, “From a human rights point of view, they should have been brought to justice. This is helping impunity to grow.”
Those on the Sulhu programme “melted into the crowd – there was no attempt at [implementing the] truth-telling, reparations, or accountability mechanisms that’s mentioned in the sulhu agreement,” added the lawyer.
The former government-Boko Haram intermediary, meanwhile, was also concerned that Sulhu – a well-funded but opaque programme – is being promoted as a winning strategy within the security establishment, when he believes it will have little real impact on the war.
“Eight out of 10 of those who defected did so because they [had committed a crime] in the bush, not because they want to stop killing, or have changed their ideology,” the intermediary told The New Humanitarian.
Advocates of sulhu see it as more than just a counter-insurgency tool. According to Mustapha Zannah, a former barrister who helped broker the release of both groups of Chibok girls, the larger goal has been to find a sliver of common ground that could be built upon to reach a political settlement – a potential way out of the conflict’s cul de sac.
ISWAP’s period of instability may now be easing. Al-Barnawi was made interim leader in March, with the backing of IS, and two months later scored a sensational victory against his arch-rival, Shekau.
There is excitement by some in the Nigerian security establishment who view al-Barnawi as “moderate" and potentially open to exploring the contours of a peace deal, as Nur had done. “He may be dogmatic, but he’s rational,” said an Abuja-based analyst.
But Zannah, the barrister, who also runs a school for war orphans and struggling families in Maiduguri, is certain any settlement acceptable to ISWAP would be a tough sell to most Nigerians.
“They are in a religious war. There’s no way you can tell them, ‘Stop’,” he said, speaking to The New Humanitarian in the compound of his school project. “You might be able to talk to them about a buffer zone, and humanitarian access, but they won’t give up their dawla.”
However, the intermediary, who was also involved in negotiations over the release of the Chibok girls, sees this as deliberate wishful thinking. “It’s politically impossible for the government of Nigeria to recognise these people,” he insisted. “ISWAP are in an ideological war against [what they term] dar al-kufr [the land of the infidel] – nothing less.”
But some see a more fundamental problem. “So long as ISWAP is winning – and ISWAP is on a roll at the moment – I don’t see them caving in [and agreeing to a settlement],” said Vincent Foucher, a Boko Haram-watcher at France’s National Centre for Science Research.
“Deals happen when both sides are exhausted, and ISWAP is not there at all, and neither is the Nigerian state and military.” The sad truth is that this conflict “doesn’t threaten [Nigeria’s political] core enough – to either gear up to properly prosecute the war, or to cut a deal.”
Over 700 repentant terrorists who have been deradicalised, rehabilitated, and are ready to be reintegrated into their communities.
This is even as the Nigerian military denied claims that clients of Operation Safe Corridor are being recruited into military institutions.
The African Independent Television reports that the Coordinator of Operation Safe Corridor, Brigadier-General Yusuf Ali, disclosed this known during a media tour of facilities at the Deradicalisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration Centre in Gombe, North-East Nigeria.
Brigadier-General Ali stated that many Nigerians lack adequate understanding of the Federal Government’s structured counter-terrorism programme under Operation Safe Corridor.
He explained that the program is aimed at rebuilding peace in communities affected by terrorism across the country.
According to the report, some of the clients at the camp explained their involvement in the offences that led to their admission into Operation Safe Corridor.
The media tour of the facility is in preparation for the graduation ceremony of over 700 clients who have been deradicalised, rehabilitated, and are set to be reintegrated into their communities.
In my opinion, Peter Obi is a pretender, he is not different from the other desperate politicians, he knows deep down he can't fix Nigeria's problem but continues to sell false hope to his supporters..... Any honest person who truly wants a better future for Nigerians should be vigorously pushing for a total decentralization or disintegration of the country. If not for any other reason but to save lives.... Peter Obi is an igbo man who should know better regarding the injustice and marginalization his people continue to suffer over "One Nigeria". He will once again face the injustice of "One Nigeria" if he runs, the same marginalization that denied him victory in 2023 will once again deny him his political ambition to be president in 2027....
saintkel: Y I want Obi to become president.....he is so close to d people than most elite....he knows what we need, he has bin saying over n over ...we can easily vote him out if he does not perform unlike Atiku n Tinubu...like it not, Obi at least has what I call conscience towards d good of d people
Pushing for decentralization or disintegration shouldn't be about who it will favor or who it won't favor but should be for the sake of freedom.... Who is Nigeria favoring today except the few in power....? As long as Nigeria exists in it's current form, nothing will change, the vicious retrogressive cycle will continue.... It won't favor anyone. Does it matter if igbos were behind centrist government? You can't go back in time but you can reshape your today and future.....
FSBoperator: Decentralization has always been opposed by the SE.
SE are the ones who brought this centrist system in the first place and from FAAC and VAT allocations/deductions, we can easily see that SE benefits more from the central purse than what it contributes.
Disintegration as championed by I.P.O.B is only ok as long as the SS is annexed and cleansed of its indigenes and replaced by you guys.
If Nigeria is to break up today along its geo-political zoning, SE will remain the poorest and most unstable nation on earth.
Your best bet is to support decentralization even though it will not favour you guys financially.
You are laughing at your own destruction.... Enjoy the ride while it lasts.... Tinubu won't be president for long....
LottiOk: Finally, some die-hard kanu disciples are beginning to accept reality and defeat. After all their childish tantrums, reality has bitch slapped them to wake up and start embracing it.😁😅😂🤣😁😅😂🤣😁😅😂🤣
From d zoo must fall to when Tinubu is done in '31 😁😅😂🤣😁😅😂🤣😁😅😂🤣😁😅😂🤣😁😅😂🤣
Talk about a painful awakening to Reality.
Come and help me laugh at op, he's beginning to wake up to reality
All of you that supported Tinubu, his government or continue to whitewash it's draconian policies directly or indirectly will not escape the terrible consequences of what Nigeria will become when Tinubu is done in 2031.... For those still day dreaming over the fake ADC opposition and it's fake messiahs Peter Obi, Atiku and Co, you need to wake up, these men in ADC now, were once part of government, occupied political positions in PDP and APC, they did nothing to help you, they were instrumental to the horrible situation you are in now. They are only after power to advance their selfish political ambitions just like what APC did to Jonathan in 2015.... Nothing will change if ADC some how grabs power from APC which I doubt they can pull off.... The only way out for Nigerians is a revolution towards decentralization or disintegration of the contraption.... I know that all of you reading may pretend to shy away or avoid my posts but you will remember all this when Tinubu is done with you in 2031....
Amupitan's compromised INEC will swallow N1 trillion from the bloated 2026 budget just for 2027 election.... This is also more than two times the amount of N300 billion Mahmood Yakubu used to install Tinubu as Nigeria's president in 2023..... By the time Tinubu and his APC gang of looters are done with Nigerians, no sensible person may want to take up any government position to clean up the huge financial mess they will put on Nigerians as a result of their monumental profligacy....
I will keep this post simple and short, how can Tinubu's government 2026 budget that's not paying any fuel subsidy swallow N68.32 Trillion, three times the amount of Buhari's government 2022 N21.83 Trillion budget, the highest throughout Buhari's 8 years in power. Don't forget that 2022 was also an election year similar to 2026, Buhari used same budget to organize election and also pay fuel subsidy..... Tinubu told Nigerians that once subsidy was removed, huge savings will be made to ensure a drastic reduction in government spending and budget but till date no one is able to account for where and how Tinubu and his cronies spent fuel subsidy savings....
I've told Nigerians and will once again remind anyone reading this post, no genuine progress can be made unless a revolution that will flush out these terrible politicians takes place, leading to a total decentralization or disintegration of the country.... Until it happens, the looting will only get worse, Nigerians will continue to bear the brunt of living in a British contraption that's carefully crafted to destroy them.... Only Nigerians can end this political brigandage....
Great point by video presenter Lisa on regionalism.... Nigeria won't make any genuine progress as a nation unless it is totally decentralized or disintegrated....
Hmmmm are you for real? You even added "Glory of God" to your post over the joy you've for someone like Tinubu being your president..... I don't think you live in Nigeria....
Sonyboom: Indeed Tinubu came in tru deception n fraud. Or who do you explain the fact that a sitting president because if Bola Ahmed Tinubu the Jagaban Borgu of Nigeria politics had to change the Federal note just to prevent him from winning ?!
Also how do you explain that after 8 years of a Northern president his own party wanted to give the party presidential ticket to another Northerners with Tinubu having to scream out "emi lokan" before Nigerians in APC demand a free n fair primary in APC which Tinubu won gloriously with over 80% to the bitterness of the likes of OP who keep hating a man God as blessed beyond any other man you will ever live to see.
Imagine the fraud of church leaders who under Bola Tinubu 8 years as governor thrived but instead of supporting him seeing how they boomed then ganging up against the glory God almighty as ordained from heaven above or how do one explain with all this obstacle n fraud Bola Tinubu still end up as president of Nigeria and he will serve for a glorious 8 years.
If Tinubu pact to the presidency is not a divine miracle from God almighty in heaven above, pls tell me which presidency in the history of Nigeria is ?
In my opinion, US government already know those behind Terrorism in Nigeria.... Trump's earlier noise about Christian genocide was only meant to pressurize the government to allow a US drone military base in Nigeria.... Since US got their wish, the Christian genocide propaganda died down.....
DuttyChuks: They're now pretending to be fighting them because of pressure from US . If US commot eyes now, the terrorist will cook wetin no dey good against the mases in the north.
Last year, when Tinubu appointed Amupitan, I made several posts here warning Nigerians over Amupitan, his links to APC but was attacked by the usual suspects.... One of such posts was this thread titled "2027 Election: Tinubu Installs Amupitan, INEC Renamed To TNEC" - https://www.nairaland.com/8536294/2027-election-tinubu-installs-amupitan
Funny, why are Nigerians still expecting a fair election from someone who came into office through deception and electoral fraud? Many Nigerians are not serious about national issues, they continue to pretend, giving themselves false hope over a glaring outcome. Nigerians always fail to act decisively over national issues when needed but later complain when the head is already off....For some of you reading this post, still day dreaming of removing Tinubu, there is need to prove your resolve now by first ensuring the removal of Amupitan to stand a chance in 2027....
Personally, I am not surprised over the attitude of Nigerians because the contraption called Nigeria was never designed to foster unity or patriotism that will give room for a united front for the people to tackle these bad leaders.... This is why sadly, Amupitan will remain as TNEC (Tinubu's National Electoral Commission) chairman till 2027 to ensure his party's massive victory.... No social media noise will change the outcome of 2027 unless Nigerians push for Tinubu's disqualification and removal from office now.....
How I was arrested, because I requested for weapons to fight Boko Haram - Ex Nigerian Soldier.
This is one testimony out of several other similar stories by Nigerian soldiers..... Terrorists are pampered by the government, fully equipped with sophisticated weapons while patriotic soldiers are jailed, sentenced to death for demanding for better welfare and equipment.... Nigeria is not a country....
Just say you don't support a national referendum because you are benefitting from the status quo..... There is no need for the long write up on your cheap attempt to tarnish my intentions. As I said earlier, your argument is weak because you don't know me to say I won't accept the outcome of a referendum done through a transparent process.... Stop working up yourself over what I will accept and what I won't accept.....
LottiOk: Which process will be transparent enough for U ⁉️ Who would u believe won't rig it against ur desired outcome. U don't trust Nigerians, u don't trust UK or even USA to conduct it cos u feel all of them are part of the forces that don't want u to actualize ur Utopian country. So who would conduct a transparent referendum that u would accept the outcome ⁉️
Even if angels came down from heaven and conducted the referendum, u won't still accept the outcome cos it won't be what u want which is the total breakup of Nigeria so biko zuzupuom niru Kam fu uzo. U think u are talking to ur fellow brainwashed kanu cult members ⁉️
I've been a proponent for decentralization or dissolution of Nigeria from the first day I joined this platform, (you can check the threads on my profile) so I am not sure what you are trying to say here.... I do not support tribal biases of any form this is why Nigerians are better off going their separate ways but it can't be achieved without a national referendum.... Tinubu and his APC government needs to go for it to happen.....
WizardOfNG: You and your redundant "revolution"talk. If there was an Igbo President worse than Idi Amin x 50 would you people who always back your own blindly, and insisted Kanu is innocent and must be freed, join a revolution against said President?
As bad as Abacha was and even Buhari in his second term, how many Northerners showed readiness for revolution against either?
Recognise the reality of deeply and irredeemably. ethno-religiously divided Nigeria and stop saying things reality of Nigeria and her people dismiss outright.
@ Topic.
Any unemotional adults should let justice take it's course instead of attempting to prematurely announce guilt or innocence. Abi any of you know any of the names on the list to be vehemently insisting they are innocent and this is a government set-up?
I can bet any money that if Yorubas were on the list at least 90% of Yorubas would insist they should go and clear their name instead of swearing on their innocence and insinuating a government plot to "discredit" Yorubas.
Same with amnesty for terrorist common in the North. Yorubas will never endorse it for their own and will insist they face ultimate penalty for wilful murder of innocent Nigerians.
Honestly, we are too different to be in a nation together and I think separation, via regional autonomy at least, is only a question of time.
You are wrong because you don't know me to judge that I will reject an outcome that doesn't go my way. A referendum is an inevitable option for Nigeria to progress, as long as it is done through a transparent process, I've no problem accepting whatever the outcome may be. Let the people choose what they want....
LottiOk: If tomorrow a referendum is conducted and d likes of cubana cp and obi cubana and other Igbos who have businesses in Nigeria and vote enmass to stay in Nigeria. Op lieera will reject the results claiming it was rigged or manipulated or fake like his type are claiming the recently released terrorists sponsored list is.
If a revolution occurs and sane Igbos not those like lieera brainwashed by kanu, don't partake in it and the outcome isn't favorable to him, he'll claim it was a fake revolution.
Anyi ma ndi kanu sapuru ubulu. Nothing will soothe his troubled soul,so long as it doesn't turn out the way he fantasies about.
Zuzube Inugo ‼️ don't stop writing nonsense till u write d 1 that'll make DSS take interest in u and send u to where ur 2 seccecionists leaders are now langushing in jail.
When you've nothing useful to say then you resort to cherrypick sentences.... In my opinion, Nigeria's democracy has been destroyed already, you are living under one-party state now, masquerading as a democracy. You will come back here by next year lamenting over election rigging because Peter Obi or your preferred candidate lost to APC.... Since you care so much about elections and voting, your anger and efforts should be directed at stopping Tinubu from disenfranchising you.... What are you and others doing offline to stop Amupitan from conducting your election next year?
budaatum: No you did not tell me or anyone hearing you that you care about Nigeria's patriotism.
What you care about is Nigeria's destruction, and most of us are here to ensure you fail and care in vain.
You are the patriotic person right....? Did I tell you I care about Nigeria's patriotism? You have a fake country that breeds corruption, pain, death and destruction, a country that glorifies lawlessness and injustice, a country where people are constantly being victimized, vilified and persecuted because of their tribe, an evil country that fosters hate. You want me to support you in safeguarding the fake toxic unity of such a terrible country? If you are attacking me because you want to sway public opinion on what is self-evident about the contraption then you've failed, you are wasting your time. Nigerians know better because they are the ones that bear the brunt everyday, they are the ones affected directly by the injustice of "One Nigeria".... The truth will continue to haunt you and every one supporting this injustice..... No election can hide or save the contraption....
budaatum: You are the unpatriotic deeply sectional divided by tribe and religious sentimental person here!
Many of us are asking you to forget tribe and religion and your sentiment and just get off your ass and vote, but you seem hell bent in making us unpatriotic like you, and I am personally delighted at the rate at which you are woefully failing.
P.S. i know we've reverted to the old one, but I am certain most of us have it cemented in our psyche.
All I am saying is give Nigerians a national referendum to decide for themselves what they want.... Whatever you claim Tinubu has done so far as regards regionalism are mere propaganda to pander to his political base.... If Tinubu genuinely want to support regional autonomy, he should give Nigerians the platform to express their consent over the unity of the country..... Let any region that wants to leave be allowed to leave.... Any thing else is nothing but cheap political propaganda....
WizardOfNG: Why do you like lying lie this. Tinubu is the only President who has put actions in place, rather than rhetoric only, towards the actualisation of regional autonomy.
Which leader since 1999 has created regional development commission for every geopolitical zone of Nigeria ?
Which President, with even a legal battle, fought for autonomy of local governments?
It is under Tinubu that State Policing is now an inevitability while both OBJ and Jonathan, quoting them verbatim, said "Nigeria not ripe for State policing" while Buhari , for 8 years, pretended he did not know the meaning of the team.
I could go on. Suffice to say all you are doing is giving a dog a bad name so you can hang it while you continue with your habit of suggesting impractical thing incongruous with the reality of a badly ethno-religiously divided nation that will never muster the unity to actualise the redundant "national revolution " you keep touting.
Take your head out of the sky and begin learning to work with reality and what can be achieved under it.
Did Hungarian people allow their president to appoint their INEC chairman?
Since 1999, what have Nigerians gained from democracy? Are Nigerians patriotic people? Are Nigerians not deeply sectional people divided by tribal and religious sentiments? You can not compare Apples to Oranges.... Nigeria has a fundamental problem by design that needs to be addressed before good governance and democracy can thrive..... A national referendum on Nigeria's unity remains the only realistic practical way towards addressing the root problem of the country..... I know you won't agree with me so I won't bother arguing with you or going back and forth with you as it has been the case in other threads but you will learn the hard way next year.....
budaatum: Have you not heard of Orban? He ruled for 16 years and had all the Hungarian Amupitans on his side
Nigeria's public institutions are far gone and deeply compromised..... Only a revolution can remove Tinubu and his APC government....
Madmohamed1: Tinubu trying to bring terrorists to igbo land ,he will definitely leave aso rock by 2027 because if we arrows him beyond 2027 Tinubu and Yeruba government will kpai all our youths South East.
The only people who will support this Yeruba government in South East is criminals in government working with tinubu.
He has spoken well but Tinubu and APC won't accept because they too intoxicated, power hungry and too selfish... only a national revolution towards total decentralization or disintegration of the contraption can save the Nigerians.... Nnamdi Kanu's unconditional release is non-negotiable....
You keep pretending not to know where I stand. Amupitan is an APC supporter, only a revolution can remove APC, not an election APC controls.... I don't need to say much, all of you will come to your senses next year.... @budaatum, I will remind you one last time that I do not support voting for any candidate in 2027 election because I am a proponent for a national referendum that will end or restructure the contraption..... I do not seek any validation from you or any one so you don't need to reply to my threads, I am not making posts or sharing my opinions to please anyone. If Nigerians do not revolt, protest, demand for impeacĥment or outright removal of Tinubu between now and next year, 2027 election outcome will go as I've predicted.... Tinubu will get a second term.
budaatum: I think truthera does not want to understand that we know that his "no vote" rhetoric only benefits Tinubu, and that Tinubu supporters are never going to boycott the coming election.
In fact, the best way for Tinubu to win a second term is to convince us who will vote against him that our votes do not count so we do not bother voting so our votes can not be counted while his supporters votes are counted, which is why Tinubu only needed less than 10 million votes out of 100 million to now be presiding over us. 75 million Nigerian registered to vote but did not bother to vote and are now wailing!
Thankfully, most of us see through truthera and have made him irrelevant, as shown by the so little engagement he is getting in this thread.
Our goal for the next election should be a total vote of at least 50% of registered voters. If we get that sort of turnout and my Obi still loses I will personally say, "result"!
Until Igbos come together to support the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu and demand for a referendum, the injustice against them by Nigeria won't end....
