Ijaws are the major ethnic group blocking their annexation of the SS.

The OP is also a Biafraist and his conclusion that four nations will come out of a collapsed Nigeria reflects their agenda to annex the SS if Nigeria collapses.

even concieve it.

The bolded has being their perpetual and historical obsession because they know Biafra is nothing without the SS.

The only two regions that can confidently and successfully break away from Nigeria, and hit the ground running, is the SW and SS because they are the only regions the world will prioritise as economically valuable enough to cultivate trading relationship with.

nobilie:
If Nigeria is to divide, you'll naturally see;

SS: South south
SE: South East
SW: South West
NC; North Central
CORE NORTH

Yes. This is is natural.

Nigerian soldiers are going through a lot...


Their top military brass are probably even more useless than politicians!

They are. Our entire armed forces are. We should fight for them more. Instead we attack them, never emphatise with them and expect them to be Rambo.

Motivation for work, especially critical for armed forces personnel who risk their lives daily, is very important.

Many nations of the world, bar Nigeria, understand that treating the men and women of their armed forces well is the way to keep them efficient, motivated, capable of rising above corruption and dedicated to operating with integrity and professionalism always.

Instead, in Nigeria, we make politicians very wealthy and over-privileged superstars and relegate virtually all others. Including men and women of the armed forces who may not return home from every shift they start.

We can all see the decrepit living conditions of our police officers below and Nigerians will be attacking them for being corrupt and unprofessional.

Meanwhile legislators all live in luxurious mansions in Asokoro, Maitama , have at least 4 vehicle convoy each and even have yearly allowance for newspapers.

This is why I always say Nigerians should key into commonsense to be empathetic with our armed forces personnel. Police, Army etc and unitedly demand they must be paid and rewarded far, far better

We treat them worse than street dogs, pay them pittance and expect Sherlock Holmes level of integrity and crime-fighting from them.

Yet an averagely intelligent adult Nigerian should know demotivation for service is normal when men and woman who risk their lives so we all sleep well at night, and go about our business in the day productively, are treated the worst, in comparison to their compatriots worldwide, while our senators are probably some of the best paid politicians in the entire world.

Below are images of American soldiers eating Steak and lobsters. Many will own homes as well, have solid pensions, likely two vehicles in their household and many renumeration that makes them able to focus on their job and give 💯%. Ditto for the UK and most developed nations.

This is particularly why I dislike Sowore immensely. He knows this reality, as someone who has lived in the USA, but he will be fighting Nigerian policemen on Airport road Ikeja and trying to portray them as corrupt, for optics to burnish his political career, when he should be the one fighting for an overhaul of pay and renumeration packages for men and women of our armed forces.

We are in trouble because institutional and deep reforms, in virtually every sector of socio-economic life, are what we need and most Nigerians don't understand this. No miracle we can do to suddenly undo the severe damage done over the past 50 to 60. Years.

TimeManager:
Tinubu and his wife did far worse?, how?. The school kidnappings from Sokoto, Niger, Kaduna Kebbi, have they not all been released and returned to their parents under President Tinubu?. How many of kidnapped school children was GEJ and Buhari able to secure their release?.
As we speak, Tinubu has deployed full military rescue operations to Oyo state but to you, he is far worse?.
Are you aware that a LG in Niger state is bigger than the whole of Anambra state?. If you understood the complexities of the security situation in the country, you won't sit behind the keyboard typing this.
Giving a needles publicity to terrorists is absolutely senseless. About 12 Americans were shot by gunmen last weekend in Ohio during a community festival, how much publicity did their media give to it, how many of you are aware of it?.

-Kiss the truth!

God bless you. I don't get how these guys cannot understand how difficult Nigeria is to secure. Large swathes of rural Land, with adjoining forest bandits can disappear into, with no policing, no Biometric-enabled CCTV capacity, negligible rapid response law enforcement.

We are paying dearly today for what other nations did responsibly over time, i.e diligently upscale and improve their capacity to fight crime, we indolently neglected over decades.

That is not on PBAT. I don't like that Nigerian adults lack in terms of being able to think critically and logically because this is preventing the delivery of obvious solutions for our nation.

Check out what is shown below. For example biometric-enabled CCTV security camera are critical for detecting crime in real time with monitoring centre agents then able to despatch crime fighting officers, with superior transport options than criminals have to include helicopter with air to ground heat scanners wtc, to quickly reach crime spot and engage/neutralise murderous criminals.

If we had those capacity, bandits and terrorists will think twice because they will be very afraid of the superior capacity of the Nigerian armed forces which is how it must be but unfortunately that is not the case with Nigeria.

Below it seems only Lagos is serious with plans for 2000 Smart camera installation which is paltry compared to China with 200 million and more CCTV installations. USA has 50 million.

The UK with around a quarter of the population of Nigeria has 6 million. These dire realities should tell a reasonable adult how much we have screwed ourselves yet Nigerians are expecting miracles from one man.

When Tinubu said security is not the business of one man alone, I understood exactly what he meant unlike a lot of Nigerians who don't know how moribund our security capacity is.

Nigeria security architecture is archaic. I know this as a citizen of the world. This is why , as a Yoruba man, I cannot wait for State/regional policing because I know Yoruba leaders, while corrupt as all others, are still decent and progressive enough to fund the emergence of a modern police force.

The sort that will make mincemeat of these rag heads running around troubling Nigerians merely because our security capacity is effectively in the 17th century and not better than when the British colonisers arrived over 100 years ago.

DomPerignon:
The idiotes is far worse than I thought he is.

Let him continue opening his mouth to expose himself.

Indeed. I am actually amazed many do not see through the bigotedly crude Obi.

Jayhome24:
Really Tinubu should construct refinery in SE ba? I wan ask a question pls you dey ok so? I doubt it. The refinery wey Nigeria get not working and you want Tinubu to come construct refinery fr your village? Not only refinery na refrigerator he go construct.

Sometime I fo asked myself hw pipu lije u take enter NL dey baffles me.

Bruv, the ignorance level of Nigerians is the reason we are not creating solutions.

Most Nigerians are highly opinionated but ignorant and lacking the ability to think critically meaning they cannot identity solutions for society as others can worldwide.

Imagine fuel subsidy has been removed, petrol downstream sector deregulated yet an educated adult can say Tinubu should build refineries in the SE?

shortgun:
As in with Tinubu's money?

He should construct a refinery in the south east if he loves the South east so much?
3 states in the south east are oil producing states and a refinery ought to be located there to refine the crude oil.

Some of una go school at all? We are now under full deregulation of Nigerian petroleum downstream sector.

Meaning FG is no longer in the business of "constructing" refineries. You people will shout a lot, make noise everyday, yet your level of ignorance is incredible.

You see Dangote refinery come on board. BUA too is close. Including GAIL refinery in Ogun state also under Dr.Lukman Akande Bolaji.

What are your businessmen, and leaders, you claim are more talented than all other Nigerians waiting for? Why aren't they moving to dominate what you claim is the natural endowment of the SE?

Tinubu supporters see the bigger picture better than all else.

Atiku fans mainly want power to return to the North so the central wealth of our nation can be commandeered to fund the welfarist, indolent and communist-style lifestyle the North has been addicted to from independence.

Meanwhile Obi fans simply want Igbo Presidency. Truth is that, for the damage Nigeria has suffered for decades and the required policies and reforms successive leaders have failed to implement over 50 years now, there is no way Nigeria can get better without all of us sacrificing and enduring with essential reforms which will come with pain initially but is crucial for Nigeria to embark on the path to becoming a developed nation.

There is the Nigerian saying "follow those wey know road". When nations that are developed and first world meaning they fully understand the path to optimal national development, crowned Nigeria world central bank of the year 2026, because of the reforms of Cardoso, what should that tell a critically intelligent person?

I.e we are attaining the fiscal discipline and productivity that will make Nigeria more socio-economically efficient enrout to becoming like the developed nations of the West.

The lady below is saying how, because of the reforms of Tinubu, Nigeria is on the lips of investors, Presidents and leaders across the world.. Is it not obvious the Governments, according to the most talented economists and technocrats in the Universe, is heading on the right direction?

Yes things are tough but it cannot be any other way because of misrule of 50 years, now needing pivotal and drastic reform to prevent Nigeria collapsing totally, Tinubu is bravely and resolutely implementing.

Fuel subsidy, a glorified scam bankrupting Nigeria. Subsidy of the Naira self-sabotage only favouring the Northern Bureau De Change system through currency arbitrage.

PBAT first President to address the issue of Nigerian home ownership through long term mortgage scheme, 20 years, with single digit interest i.e 9.75%.

NELFUND is one of the most brilliant scheme any President can conceive because it means our most brilliant young people won't be denied the chance of gaining higher education because of lack of funds. They gain higher education they will use to make Nigeria better. As simple as that.

Critical infrastructure, across Nigeria, at a pace never seen before.

Etc, etc and I could go on all day. The problem is that most Nigerians adults don't have the requisite interest, or perhaps even intelligence Quotient as Moniepoint boss insisted, in learning the nature of our biggest problems to then note the solutions required for them.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph5XCf8jgOE?si=5sparudfamvwd question

@OP.

What else does anyone intelligent expect the Igbo-centric bigot Obi to say? Did he not claim IPOB are good people and he lives with them?

Obi has failed and his political career will end Jan
2027. The dynamics are different now. As OP said, he has lost a lot credibility and backing.

Also, the North will not vote for him because , as a serial liar, no one believes his "I will only do four years" pledge.

Safer and much more assured for Northern leaders to help Tinubu win secure in the fact they are guaranteed a return of power to the North in 2031.

Odin13:
Yawn..

Lol. How far? How your side ?

AMINDA:
Allow Tinubu to keep pushing his luck. They have engaged the services of multiple polling firms and analysts that keep telling them that Tinubu has no pathway to re-election. Hence, the desperation you see. In law, this is called fait accompli.

Not only does the ADC have elective positions, the ruling was given in defiance of a court of appeal judgement that had ordered the matter to not be heard until November. Tinubu and Wike are in panic mode and this judgement was meant to erase news of Amaechi's selection as Atiku’s Vice. Just as the Nafiu Bala fiasco by INEC was done on the day Kwankwaso joined the ADC. "The guy is gone!"

Keep quiet. Tinubu pushing his luck how? From the mouth of an Atiku supporter?

Atiku who wanted to directly replace Buhari in 2023 meaning it could have been 16 unbroken years for Fulanis in power?

Tinubu will win in January comfortably.

Atlantis585:
Was Tinubu not the person that made Buhari and Fulani leadership for 8 years to happen?

Let him taste his own medicine na.

That was politics. Jonathan inherited the turn of the North because of the death of Yar Adua.

He already had 5 years in power by 2015 when he was seeking another 4 which would have made it 9 years and a constitutional lacuna for Nigeria

Tinubu did the right thing supporting the return of the North to power in 2015. PBAT cannot ever be a victim. Yorubas are more than a match for Fulanis.

demstone:
ONCE DEY SUCCESSFULLY DO TO TINUBU WHAT DEY DID TO JONATHAN

JUST KISS NAIJA GOODBYE

E DON GO

OTILOR

Well-said. You have got the full picture 💯%. Sad that some Southerners are behind Atiku's usurpation bid at a time we should be united as a nation to demand Northern people and leaders should focus on dealing with the terrorists amongst them rather than seeking the Presidency.

The murderous miscreants aren't even that many in number and not difficult to overwhelm in one week if Northerners , at all levels, are not in bed with terror.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Desist from involving SS in any of your talk
Don't mention SS again, they have had enough of you guys. Face your political rivals/opponents and stop mentioning SS.

Come on
You have work to do
Get to work

Lol. Do you not see how SS leaders are passionately behind Tinubu?

You might not see the obvious but SS leaders are showing they know Tinubu is the truth and a president genuinely committed to elevating the region.

Wike, Eno etc. Be fooling yourself because you are emotional.

LibertyRep:
Apt warning. People who could be mobilised with #2000 to cause chaos in the court would disrupt a peaceful protest with a promise of malt. The organisers should be vigilant.

But Gen Musa, your appointment came with so much hope. Now it is almost as if you are also clueless or handicapped.
What's happening?

Musa is competent and sincere. It is the structure of Nigeria that needs massive change.

For example, why do Nigerians not appear intelligent enough to challenge the North, leaders and followers , to fish out these terrorists and bandits amongst them, since they are not Ghosts, if they don't condone their murderous activities?

bdon123:
Lagos has d population that most states dont have...thats d truth

Yes but how did Lagos gain that massive population, as the smallest State in Nigeria, if not for the fact her administration from 1999 till today made her the best State in Nigeria with the most wealth and opportunities for ordinary Nigerians?

Estimated population of Lagos when Tinubu took over in 1999 was circa 7 million. Today it is no less than 18 million with most statisticians pegging it at circa 23 million.

slimjohn2k5:
Focus on the insecurities not the protesters

Our Minister of defence is right to issue the warning. Nigeria is full of of illiterates and malcontents. Not their fault because leaders have failed them for decades.

Nonetheless, we have to be careful to not allow opportunists cashtivists like VDM snowball Nigeria into Rwanda-style internecine strife.

We saw how, during the August protest last year, political opportunists looking to discredit the Tinubu Government, to boost their political profile, were paying children in the North 500 Naira to loot, riot and burn. When they then wanted to arraign those children in juvenile Court, everyone was shouting Tinubu.

The way Nigeria is going, where commonsense is not prevailing, we will land in big trouble that will touch all of us.

Naijahero1:
Obi Wants To Stop Us From Stealing Nigeria's Money - APC Members

This is the discussion APC members I traveled with were having today. All through the flight the discussion was how they will lose millions and billions if Obi wins. Their expensive lifestyle, how would they fund it? Should Obi go after thieves, what would be their fate?
Nigerians, please rise up. The looting by APC is too much. They don't care about Nigerians. They're after what they get.

Lol. I am always amused with how you people always resort to propaganda to sell Obi because it is obvious that is all you have since he has no record of leadership achievements you can market him with.

He has one watch. Carried 2face Idibia's bag, serves food to ordinary Nigerians. Etc, etc. Lamba, Lamba, Lamba.

Obi is empty and a crook also. Stop all this crap. He commandeered the allocation of Anambra, without consulting the people, to invest in a beer business for him and his family. 250 million in cash in a vehicle he was travelling in.

Bodies floating in Ezu River unalived by his 'Man Friday's James Nwafor. Etc, etc. Are you people for real with this idiocy of trying to present Obi as reincarnation of Jesus Christ?

Do you people, when you come out with this rudimentary image laundering of Obi, not understand many Nigerians are more intelligent than you?

esnbrutality:
Biafra, so you have LAGOS ALL alone to yourself.

Try it

Look at this kid. Yorubas are the political and administrative leaders of Lagos. We are also more critical-thinking and emotionally mature than you lot so we aren't going to be shouting with you

Yet, you best believe we know how to put you in your place.

Lagos is home to all, as no SE State can ever be, because of the progressive, benevolent and accommodating spirit of the Yorubas. Never get that twisted.

goslowgoslow:
What is the solution? Peter Obi? ... Lmao 😂🤣.

Lol. Precisely. We are to Ignore his abysmal leadership record and all vote him President because some people are desperate for Igbo Presidency?

He is 💯% correct. Lagos is not the only State in Nigeria. Nigerians should focus on holding their respective leaders, in their States, to account.

givedemwotowoto:
The momentum to reclaim Nigeria is building up. Nigerians will be set free during the 2027 elections

You guys make me laugh. Reclaim Nigeria and hand to who? Atiku or Obi? What joke. It is not happening. Ordinary Nigerians are like toddlers who don't know what is best for them.

Leaders know what is best for Nigeria. That is why they are all behind Tinubu and will ensure they spend and do everything to help him return.

DomPerignon:
You meant to say only the Ibos and Fulani will go at great lengths to defend and make excuses for their criminals.

Bianca dancing with those criminals was a disgrace if you ask me.

An FM is not supposed to blindly support their citizens when they run foul to the law of foreign countries ..


The British govt makes it exclusively clear to their citizens that if they run foul to the laws of foreign countries they are visiting, that they are on their own and will not provide anything more than basic legal services and contacts to their relatives .

Foreign ministers are not supposed to be engaged in coming to the rescue of their citizens who run foul to the law .

Indeed. This is why they did not offer any words at all over the trial of Kanu, a British citizen, in Nigeria. As far as they are concerned , criminal conduct, anywhere in the world, should have legal consequences.

1Alex:
jealous of what about Yoruba?

What exactly are people jealous of about Yoruba?

Not all Nigerians are jealous of Yorubas.
It is a specific set of people. Yorubas, relatively, have got there affairs together as far as Nigeria goes.

Most Nigerians like them and that is why they migrate to Yoruba land the most of all regions of our nation.

The people I am talking about are the megalomaniacs who believe they are superior to others but are always rattled by how Yorubas have sophistication, are achievers and, by all indices, the most important of the four major ethnic group of Nigeria i.e Yorubas, Igbo, Hausa and Fulanis. I am talking facts here.

Ironically, same lot are all over Yoruba land as well yet always talking negatively about Yorubas.

Odin13:
Yoruba people that mocked and abuse igbos during the days of Ekpa

Goodluck

Senseless rambling as usual.

MASTAkiLLAh:
please, don't involve the SS in whatever nonsense you people are doing or talking about. Just face your region and your opponent without involving us abeg, na beg I dey beg you now

So.many of you are adults who are like kids. I am making a statement of fact which is that, of six geo political zones of Nigeria, the SW and SS are the most socio-economically important to our nation and the world.

Rutherford2019:
Like play Like play yorubaland is gone

Lol. You people are obsessed with stating that Yoruba land is gone daily because you are envious and petty people very jealous of the Yorubas.and committed to wishing the worst for them while Yorubas don't have your time.

The SW and SS are the premier regions of Nigeria giving our nation life and semblance of nationhood.

If Yoruba land is gone, then what remains of Nigeria? When will you people gain the capacity to be like other adults worldwide who respect facts and reality?
