stop crying fowl and join the wining team... WIKE na CAPACITY...

Capacity in what's exactly? Capacity in thuggery, stealing and brigandage? No thanks.

Dogalmighty17:
There is a reason why the US is very hesitant to deploy troops on ground in Iran.

What's the reason? No other country is prepared to permit its airspace to be used in attacking Iran.

HacheNoire:
If one country can bomb boats without evidences and seize ships also, then it becomes a norm for others.

No one has monopoly over madness.

E remain make some other crazy presidents come order kidnap or assassination of other country's presidents.

Now way a war between US and Iran will not start within the next few months. President Trump is determined to start major war before his term runs out.

PigTormentor:
He did more rigging than others during the last election.
The Agulu con artist still came.in 3rd.

Can you explain how Obi can rig Lagos (home base of Tinubu) and Abuja (seat of government) in the last election?

Holdup247:
prophet of Doom... WIKE will lose everything, Wike will be irrelevant and the president will abandon WIKE... Bla Bla Bla.... WIKE will always make you guys cry....

So Wike holding Rivers State hostage and not allowing governance for the past two years is making you happy, Wike destroying the PDP to pave way for a one party state is making you happy, Wike behaving like a tyrant in Abuja is making you happy?

Heffalump:
You should be worried about your children, if you got any. They may not enjoy up to 30% of freedom you have on nairaland today to spew nonsense in their time as Nigerians. The coming years are full of evil. No country plays politics like this and succeed. Some vultures are eating up our democratic freedom, and some dimwits are applauding it. Shame on them all!

Which freedom do we have on nairaland, legally speaking that is. Have you not read the Cybercrimes Act of 2025? Defamation has become a criminal offence, recording public officers on phone or camera has become a criminal offence.
The fact that the various authorities have not started coming after everyone who criticises the political class dies not mean they cannot start tomorrow.

Nteogwuija:
It doesn't look like it. He'd be unwise to think he's that popular.

What's stops Wike from contesting for vice president or even president in 2031? Popularity is not a factor in winning elections in Nigeria, else Tinubu would not be president. Was Tinubu popular in 2023 before wining the presidency? Even Tinubu himself he avoids social media because of insults by the social media public. He lost all the populated and cosmopolitan centres in the country. So wike also can win the presidency.

WhizdomXX:
Ned Nwoko will win those starters you just mentioned. Osanebi that could not win his LGA for APC Mtchheew.
Abaribe that you mentioned lives on IPOB hype. Not one project he has brought to his district this term. If not for NED's waste of time and rhetoric on Anioma State going to the east, failure to bring Okpai IPP stepdown and ogwashiuku water dam amongst others. Okowa who should be in jail btw should not be canvassing to return to the senate.

I don't understand Nigerian people, particularly the poor and helpless ones. What has Ned contributed to the development of Delta North to warrant him being the most electable politician for the office of senator. What has ned contributer to even his family outside increasing the population. I don't know any school funded by Ned, no health care. What does he do with his billions of constituent project allowance? In a free, fair and credible election, Ned cannot win his Local Government Area, not to talk of senatorial District.
He is only advocating for Anioma State for personal selfish reasons, he knows he can easily rig himself to be Governor, without much opposition.
90% of Nigerian politicians cannot win elections without rigging and intimidation of voters. Even Tinubu cannot win Etiosa Local Government without rigging and intimation of voters. Even with all these, they oftentimes need the courts to steal elections.

eventainment:
Thing is two wrongs don't make a right. No landlord will behave that way if that tenant hasn't been a problem and a menace. For the man to head to court and lay claim on destroyed properties that tenant is evil. Only God knows how the landlord has been bearing lots of things. Nonetheless many landlords are deadly. But let's critically think this will you spend money to remove your own roof when the tenant tells you they are leaving 2 weeks time?

I honestly don't understand your logic, a landlord cannot have patience wait for two weeks for an allegedly troublesome tenant, and so resort to violence. So if you remove the roof of a property, properties contained would not be destroyed by rain and sun?

rowland545:
Is this how they behave in Ghana? But also y has d tenant refuse to pay his rent I'm sure the man ran out of options....but i bet now he will regret....case of two wrongs makes d police rich abi how dem day talk am

vicfajeze:
The headline ought to be, Landlord arrested over tenant's inability to pay rent

Did you guys read the full article or you only browsed the headline.

Even if the tennant refused to pay rent, landlords have no right to remove the roof, burglary proof, gate or other self help measures. The landlord would probably need to sell the house to offset the damages and legal fees.

jidesp:
I don’t agree with the author.

Largest and Strongest Naval fleet are not the same thing. However, the article has managed to consolidate the two. Egypt has the strongest while Nigeria May rank close to first as largest but not first.

Largest naval fleet (by numbers)

This looks at how many vessels a navy has, regardless of size or firepower.

Patrol boats,
Fast attack craft,
Small offshore vessels,
Training and auxiliary ships.

By this definition:

Nigeria can legitimately rank first or very close to first in Africa in some datasets, especially when:

Small patrol craft are fully counted and Coastal and inland security boats are included

This is what reports like Global Firepower–based counts on.


EGYPT

Strongest naval fleet (by capability)

This measures power, not count.

Submarines
Frigates & corvettes
Amphibious assault ships
Missile capability
Blue-water (long-range) operations
Fleet tonnage & strike reach

By this definition:

Egypt is clearly Africa’s strongest navy.

Why?
Aircraft-capable assault ships (Mistral-class)
Advanced submarines
Modern frigates (FREMM, MEKO)
Operates across the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and Suez Canal
Consistently ranked among top global navies, not just African one

That's what I notice, we are counting small patrol boats and inland security boats, and we are boasting that we have the strongest naval fleet in Africa. With only 20 recorded naval ships, I doubt most are operational due to obvious factors of lack of maintenance due to corruption. With the so called largest navy in Africa, the gulf of Guinea is one of the most pirate infested waters in the world, coupled with being a haven for stolen crude.

BreconHills:
I disagree with you. We have mobile radar 300 km plus, stand alone radar and four companies have bid for an upgrade of the national radar system.

Imagine, Soviet era defense radar with a range of only 350km, radar defense system bought from Argentina (probably tokunbo), and mobile radar system used by special forces, and we day we have an air defense system.

Can the air defense system shoot down missiles, drones and air threats, that's assuming it can even detect the treats in the first place. We are truly mediocre.

Kushites:
MANY NIGERIANS SUFFER FROM CHRONIC INFERIORITY C0MPLEX.

THAT'S WHY THEY SUPPORT A MONSTER LIKE TRUMP.

IF THAT WAS AN AFRICAN LEADER CARRYING ON IN THIS SAME EXACT LUNATIC FASHION, THEY WOULD ROUNDLY CONDEMN HIM, AND PRESENT HIM AS A SIGN OF BLACK PEOPLES' INABILITY TO GOVERN THEMSELVES.

BUT HE IS 'WHITE', SO IN THEIR LITTLE COLONISED BRAINS, HE'S INFALLIBLE, MAJESTIC AND MAGNIFICENT.

(SPITS)

It's not their fault, it's due to centuries of slavery and colonisation. As result they are trapped in a mental prison.

Namaster:
The CU...UUU.CKS in Europe are so DISGUSTING!

Imagine Macron ADVOCATING for an attack on Iran instead of dealing with their in-house CAUCASIAN problem.

Their WEAKNESS is part of the reason the PDFile will continue to BULLY them.

There is NO placating a BULLY.
Only way to handle a BULLY is to respond with STRENGTH.
Europe has the CAPACITY to do that yet they chose the path of CU.UUU.CKHOLDRY.

As for the NATO President, his mouth must be COVERED in sh1t given how hard he's FRENCHING the PDFile's ass.

WEAK LEADERS!

Exactly. Europe is making the same mistake today they made with Hitler in 1939, you don't placate a bully, that would only encourage him, you respond with strength, he threatens you, you threaten back. Its too much ass liking that has made Trump disregard the Europeans over the years. President Trump respect Kim Jong Un, Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping than any European leader. Why, because they don't show fear to Trump. Trump insults them, they respond in kind, Trump threaten them, they threaten back, Trump impose tarrif, they impose tarrif back.
With this pacifist approach by Europeans, I don't see how Trump will not invade Greenland.

The two NNPC refineries that have been producing fuel since 2015 and PH refinery that started exporting in December are what then

National treasury?


>>
>>>>

Which two NNPC refineries were working since 2015? Warri and PortHarcourt refineries never became operational. Warri refinery at Ubeji is not far from my family house. You can see the flames from our compound whenever the refinery is operational. Whenever the refinery is selling fuel, tanker drivers cause heavy traffic at the refinery junction, getting to warri town from Ubeji becomes a nightmare.

Before Dangote Refinery came on stream, NNPC was importing 100% of the petrol, diesel, aviation fuel and Kerosene consumed in Nigeria. We were buying fuel at N1000, NNPC claimed landing cost was N1200, so there was subsidy. Dollar at a time nearly rose N1800. So what are you talking about?

Nigerianlion:
This is a major milestone for our oil sector and something worth celebrating. Hitting 50 million liters daily offtake shows that distribution channels are improving and that supply is finally matching demand more consistently. If sustained, this will help stabilize prices, reduce queues at filling stations, and build confidence in the energy value chain.

Of course, the challenge now is to maintain and grow this level, not just achieve it once. We need improved infrastructure, better storage and logistics, and transparency in allocations so this doesn’t dip again like we’ve seen in the past. But for now, let’s give credit where it’s due — this is progress and a step in the right direction for consumers and investors alike.

Imagine how much dollars would have been required to import 50 million litres of petrol everyday, that's apart from the corruption and other associated costs. By now we would have been buying petrol at N1200 per litre and dollar at N2000.
Dangote is indeed a national treasure.

Eagleways:
Oga the referee at one point confused everyone, including Moroccans. He blew against Nigeria, the game stopped and nobody could even relate what it was about.
He created a throw for Morocco. It even took time before Moroccans understood what he was saying.

That was when I lost confidence. So single card for Moroccans? That was unbelievable. Moroccans played very well though

Exactly my sentiments. The Moroccans played better, they had better passing and better tactics. Its just that the referee allowed dangerous tackles by the Moroccans. Still it was not the referee thar made us lose the penalty shoot out.

Olumyco:
...but the Referee overlooked the hand ball foul committed by Bassey at box 18... when Hakimi fired shot and didn't award penalty. We need to look critically at each event of the game, to be able to judge logically.

That was ball to hand. His hand was in a natural position when the shot came hitting his body. Its not even obvious the ball actually hit his hands. Most referees would not blow that.

Tonnyray:
The officiating was fair.

Fair ke? And the Moroccan players did not receive a yellow card, not even a caution for their rough tackles.

Winterhaven:
I know Nigerians will resort to blaming the ref after the super chickens get dumped out of the tournament...

Always making noise when they win, but are never magnanimou in defeat.

The referee killed the match for the super eagles. He was blowing fowl and giving yellow card to Nigerians, but allowing the Moroccans to play very rough. Once our players touch the ball, the Moroccan players would tackle like its a rugby match. It was a miracle our players avoided a major injury. Remember, the players need to return to their various clubs in good shape.
Now, I am not saying we could have won the match, its just that the referee did not protect our players from the over physical Moroccan players. You play like thar in the world cup, you will receive red cards.

correctguy101:
Exactly.

Still they're not that many. But the masses seem to not be united in absolutely refusing to be led however these people decides.

Masses ke? Nigerian masses are the most docile, divided and cowardly people in the whole world, they rather fight over tribal, religious and political issues than matter than important matters.

Agugbadin:
Each vehicle cost well over N170m,note that they are brand new the total cost is well over N15.3Billion

Imagine! In a poor country, and a poor state that lacks roads, schools, healthcare and pipe borne water. Meanwhile, president Tinubu wants to start deducting your earning above 800k as income tax to raise money to run the country.

grandstar:
That's about 13bn! A gift to ensure he wins the next elections.

That's because the votes of the electorates don't matter in winning elections. Its the thug s and supporters of traditional rulers, religious leaders and political bigwigs that determine the winner of elections, in concert with INEC and the Courts.

Suspectzero:
Black Countries suck. You know it, I know it, Everyone knows it. So stop crying about Trump targeting African Countries. Why don't you try your luck in another black Africa Country 😂

Black countries suck, because they were created and sucked dry by white countries.

Countersam:
Benin Republic always seems to have a soft spot Internationally, believe me a Benin passport is more recognised than a Nigerian passport. They are not in that list.
Congratulations to them.

That's because they don't run to the US or other countries, and start constituting a nuisance.
Even in neighbouring countries like Nigeria, Benin Republic Citizens go about their businesses quietly without making noise or commiting crimes.

israelmao:
I have withdrawn my support for Fubara since joined the entity of band its and showed a seeming slob Wike.

What do you want him to do? PDP did not protect him, the electorate did not protect him, the courts did not protect him. Now APC promised to protect him from Wike and his goons if he defected, and you are withdrawing your support when he defected to save his ass the only way possible. How have your support helped him?

12,331. That is the approximate number of nuclear warheads currently in existence. Only 9 nations belong to this "nuclear club."
Is the gap between the top two and the rest of the world wider than you expected? Which of these stats is the most eye-opening to you?

Enough nuclear power to destroy all life on earth.

The moral of the story is that everybody should fix their country. Trump is sending a clear message to all wealthy people. Your village, your town, you can transform them into America.

Then he should return all the monies stolen by politicians from these banned countries hidden in US banks

Flangelo12:
FIFA should just revoke the world cup hosting from USA.

It's going to be an interesting world cup. Even if they grant special consideration to players and officials of the tournament. What about fans? Would the world Cup take place without fans from participating countries?

free2ryhme:
what a country

Each New SUV cost nothing less than N50 million, now multiply that by 65 and you get N3.25 billion. This is a state with terrible roads, health facilities and schools.
In our brand of democracy, the masses do not matter to the government, only the elites do matter. Meanwhile, the Federal Government wants to tax the ordinary masses to death, to raise more money to feed the elites.

musazulyadain:
That's good one, at least let all the students should be morals in their dressing

Do all these moral dressing reflect in their lives? There is more immorality in their secret personal lives than in a brothel.
