According to CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY:

NEUROTIC = behaving strangely or in an anxious (= worried and nervous) way, often because you have a mental illness: neurotic behaviour/tendencies.

To any normal person, the above rings True about Obi. Imagine Obi's senseless criticism, that screams neurosis, against PBAT for not wearing "mourning" outfit to visit Benue?

Kukutente23:
When last did he act a movie
He should concentrate on that instead of looking for petty comments where there are none
Even this his comment is neurotic. He's just seeking for attention to relaunch his career

Must you People automatically become catty and b1tchy, like women, once your messiah is criticised?
What concerns his last movie appearance with his political criticism of Obi?

JASONjnr:
Imagine the happiness in her fave when the court rejected an appeal to arrest her...

I'm sure she settled this outside the court and would definitely forfeit her senate seat...

One cannot rule that out knowing Nigeria where institutional integrity is zero. She will go and beg to then recieve a soft-landing in exchange for departing the Senate.

Anything is possible and I am not shocked about developments in Nigeria anymore.

JASONjnr:
It's people like you that will add to Akpabio's name as a womanizer if he didn't clear his name.

Let him clear his name..

Also, what stopped Natasha from tendering all the evidence she claimed she had against Akpabio and Yahaya Bello?

I'm sure she's definitely forfeiting her seat in the senate.

The bolded, to me, is the main consideration for pushing forward with this case.

Natasha has made countless allegations without producing evidence for a single one. She has acted without restraint and embarrased the Nigerian legislative arm and, by extension, the executive arm of gouvernement also globally.

If the FG continues to ignore and indulge her they are setting the dangerous présence that it is okay for any troublemaker or disgruntled/rogue politician to hurl all manners of accusation against others home and abroad

Obviously those who do that will be safe in the knowledge the "unserious" and unprincipled FG Will ignore their irresponsible and vindictive behaviour assuming lie-Tasha is not confronted, prosecuted and made an example of.

Personally hoping the FG sees this case to the end, because nothing can save he if the case is prosecuted dilligently, so Lie-Tasha is punished and made an example of unlike the farce defamation battle between Afe Babalola and Dele Farotimi.

Dalohad:
I only heard he was released to go bury his mother or so.

So, you mean he has not gone back to Kuje to face his case?

Chei...so what happens to court file, I bet they have thrown it the dustbin..

He still has a case to answer in the US o. Anyday he enter US, Otilor.......na him and hushpuppi go dey share the same cell for US Sanko.

No he did not. He made bail June last year and has remained on bail since.

The case against him is just boju boju (hide and seek) to con the US who are insisting he must be extradited to face trial in the USA for involvement in the Hushpuppi affair.

Nigeria shamelessly created the shady drugs case to prevent USA extraditing Kyari in the first place.

Now a Judge, at the last hearing in April 2025, is "insisting" the case must remain open (as if it takes a genius to know why) whereas Kyari is living his life as normal.

Thers is no level of society 'one Nigeria' lunacy has not warped or bastatdized. No institutional integrity in any government parastatal or organisation.

This is why I am a die hard fan of regional autonomy so those who are still moderately sane, progressive and desirous of socio-economic growth and development can go and make something of themselved rather than remain in the vampiric 'one Nigeria' designed to suck life, goodness and progressive zeal out of every man and woman regardless of their personal human quality or leanings.

Streetinvestor2:
What Nigerians will do to anyone trying to rig in any polling units in 2027 go enter foreign news.The people are so angry with the level of hunger and poverty created in just 2 yr by SW president.

Keep fooling yourself reading mountains from molehill occurences in a region where there is no shortage of illiterates to pay small amount of Naira to get them to act up.

Such as we saw during the August protest when children in the North were being paid 500 Naira to display foreign flag they are not aware of, call Tinubu "barawo" and create looting anarchy in hope of precipitating breakdown of law and order.

It means nothing. The Northern hawks will do their initial gra gra while sane and sensible Northern leaders, with good grassroot strenght, will support Tinubu because they know it is better he completes another 4 years so power returns to the North legitimately.

Thats is the best option instead of creating a dangerous precedence of supporting a Northerner usurp the turn of the South and balkanize Nigerian politics forever or helping Obi get a possible 8 years for the South meaning North may be out of power for 12 year when it could be 8 years if Tinubu completes 2 terms.

What I am 100% sure of though is that shi shi no dey for Obi in 2027.

Warrior99:
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD!

Any other thing na window dressing

Absolutely. No need for any 'One Nigeria' shalaye like we see with Ben Kalu presenting a bill for abolishment of state of origin in a time Nigerians are becoming more aware and supportive of regional autonomy as the sure, permanenf and only way out of all the problems confronting Nigeria.

Regional autonomy is the holy grail. The sooner most Nigerians get behind it the better.

paymentvoucher:
This one will be hard anyway. Citizens just need bills that will make it easy for everyone

That poster is misguided anyway. It is sad that most grown Nigerians, who have supposedly finished SSS or attended Uni, still do not understand that the value of a currency is it purchasing power which is predicated on the strength of the economy of the nation the currency belongs to.

Today $1 USD is around 1547 naira. The Government can legally round down a few decimal place to make it $1 USD equal 1.54 Naira. That would look good for those who don't understand that currency is a store of value.

While the dollars value has not changed, because the strength of the economy of the USA that keeps dollars a strong currency has not changed, the value of Naira too has not changed, even with the redomination, because our economy has not suddenly grown by over 1000% !!!

Denomination of a currency is it's face value. Purchasing power parity, is its real value. Meaning rounding down of decimal places to make 1547 Naira 1.54 Naira makes no difference to the value of the Naira. What has happened is that what 1547 Naira bought before is what 1.54 naira will now buy.

The 1.54 Naira to $1 USD is for optics alone because you woul still need a total of 1547 Naira to buy what $1 USD can buy.

It is always the purchasing power of a currency, determined by the strength of the economy that currency represents, that matters. Not its size.


If $1 USD is ever equal 1 Naira organically, without redenomination or subsidy support for the Naira, then that would mean we have done tremendously well creating a Nigerian economy at parity with that of the USA meaning 1 Naira can , on is own merited strength, buy what $1 USD can anywhere in the world.

If a Camry is $6,000 in Miami then I must be able to it with 6,000 Naira also if both currency are of equal value at 1 to 1 denomination.

Commonsense tell us we are very far from the Camry example I use above. Especially since most Nigerians do not know, to begin with, that the old exchange rate under GEJ, Buhari etal were never true reflection of the actual value of Naira.

Ttalk:
Obi and his people will come and started shouting Tinubu should invest in education, same man who didn't start and complete a single school throughout his tenure

At least we can all now see Obidient are generally an ignorant lot who spend more time hating and lying, plus demarketing others with fake news, than on reading and researching.

We can all now see Tinubu's committed focus on education and decentralisation of power given the bills he has signed into law.

God bless PBAT and give him great health to complete two terms after which every region should have the legislatively defined freedom, empowering policies and socio-economic independence to go and swim or sink on their own.

Anyone doubting Tinubu's committment to regional autonomy , which we need badly yet no other President had attempted to deliver, should read the article thoroughly.

This is a President worth supporting by Nigerians who are progressive and hardworking with no interest in paraditism or covetous commandeering of the land and asset of others ,whether through violence or subterfuge, that does not belong to them.

Those who love themselves, their land and are committed to remaining in their region ,to make it the domain of their dreams, will support the freedom Tinubu is giving them to better control the pace and intensity of their own socio-economic progress unimpeded by 'one Nigeria' nuisance.

Once "heavily armed" Forest guards and State/regional policing is in place then the SW is good to go. "Equitable development" mentioned directly alongside "regional empowerment" are the key concepts to take from the article.

The document highlights how this flurry of legislative activity reflects not only an educational push but also a growing trend toward federal restructuring.

Notable among the laws cited are the Electricity Act 2023 and the proposed State Judicial Councils Act, both of which are described as pivotal to empowering sub-national governments and deepening decentralisation.

“What stands out is that this administration is doing things through the Assembly, not just through executive orders.

“It’s a legislative-first strategy aimed at institutionalising reforms and reinforcing Nigeria’s federal structure,” Folorunsho explained.

According to the report, there is also a growing trend toward regional legislation. Proposals to create development commissions across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, for example, are seen as a response to long-standing demands for equitable development and regional empowerment.

DeepSight:
There are equitable ways of creating peace in a complex nation and rotation is one of them.

I gave up trying to explain the above to him as it appears he only sees in black and white without accounting for areas of grey.

delzbaba:
Fulani never forget this type of thing , the battle has become an infinite one.

That May be the case but doing nothing is not an option as it only encourages Fulanis across Africa to continue trooping into our nation seeking to make our country the Islamic Caliphate their cleric assure is there own to take.

Nigeria has to get the political solution right for lasting soltion to emerge.

Nawa4nl:
Lets call a Spade a Spade.

I think its time we all start facing the facts, ONE NIGERIA IS NOT WORKING!

I think most smart and pragmatic People have accepted That already. When a People have been cobbled together and still lack homogeniety of idea, that makes for peaceful and productive co-existence of all, after like 70 years then fairly obvious such a nation Will never work.

The key is for all Nigerians to accept this and find a way to separate peacefully and I personally think regional governance, That Will turn Nigeria into an EU of Africa, woud be the best option.

The Fulanis, and their intention to dominate the land of others, are becoming a serious and existential threat to Nigerian that only brave political changes and solutions can defeat long term.

Military might alone Will never end the terrible and heart-wrenching blood-letting we are witnessing today

Nigeria, because of poverty and stark class differences, is full of people with bastardized minds and ideas.

"Gullible and hungry" as Lie-Tasha herself termed them

Dalohad:
We are remember Super Cop Abba Kyari who was caught trading cocaine and helping Yahoo boy Hushpuppi move funds.

What is the status of his case in court?

Has he been released? Is he still in prison?

He was released from detention over a year ago June 24th 2024 and told to go and sin no more. His boys like Obi Cubana etal will drop heavily to make sure he can start a new life of wealth, luxury and elite 'Igbadun'.

Truth is that Kyari is probably very happy today. He helped many make billions while his own life was at risk constantly.

Time for them to all 'donate' to give him a comfortable life away from the thankless job of being a Nigerian police officer.

Ofunaofu:
If Obi is truly irrelevant, it's strange how much energy you’re spending trying to discredit him. His appeal isn’t about hero-worship, it’s about a clear break from the recycled politics of godfatherism and unchecked corruption. Young Nigerians support him because they are tired of the old system failing them. That’s not delusion, it’s clarity.

I did not say Obi is irrelevant. Of course he is relevant to you and street level hero-worshippers and ignorant/illiterate members of the Nigerian population.

To other leaders and important decision-makers, who understand what it takes to lead and make transformational decision, Obi is not a character to be respected.

To them, he is a glorified traders, and never a leaders, who failed horribly as Governor of Anambra. He was not even mediocre. He was very poor.

While you people who cursed him yesterday are now trying to whitewash his image today because of desperation for an Igbo Presidency.

Using an example to put issues in context for you, how many leaders, even if they dislike Wike's combative style, can accuse him of not being brave when they saw him stand his ground to face Fulani born-to-rule arrogance in PDP while Obi fled to Labour?

Obi, given his history, is the worst candidate to ever step forward to Nigeria's President.

PresidObi:
You are right with the bold, Nigerians who were not born with generational hatred or evil hero worship of drug barons.

Whatever. I was born long after Azikiwe's treacherous frustration of Awolowo's attempt to include a secession clause in our constitution, the Igbo coupe, the civil war and many other historically important developments.

Does not mean I allow myself to be ignorant of those pivotal and definitive events in the history of Nigeria. To know your past is to know who you are and where you are going.

There is no excuse for you Obi fans not to learn of his past leadership history as Governor of Anambra if you genuinely mean well for our nation and wish to note whether he is fit to be President of Nigeria or not.

Your response shows who/what you are. Another bigot desperate to experience Igbo Presidency even if that will come under one of the most incompetent, most undistinguished and most failed political leader Nigeria has ever known.

Mindlog:
There is nothing like "Federal Government officers"....Akpabio is the Senate President, if he feels anyone defamed him, he sues the individual or group. It is not the responsibility the Federal Government to sue on his behalf.....once. again on what is the Federal Government suing on behalf of Yahaya Bello?

I'll never understand the arrogance in Nigerians that make you lot unwilling to defer to the knowledge of experts at the apex of their career.

Do you assume our AGF went straight from Primary school straight to becoming AGF with nothing else between those periods? No further and specialised studies and no legal experience at all?

If your answer is no, then what on Earth makes you think the action of the AGF is not legal or proper? Those who allege must prove their case.

Show the forum, or even call a legal luminary friend, to help you argue the bolded in your post.

If Lie-Tasha , herself a lawyer, has not made the claim you have and is attending court , and Falana plus Agbakoba and Farotimi etal have not objected as you have, then who are you and your opinion?

Per Yaya Bello, he is a defendant in a conspiracy case. You think the rules for trying conspiracy cases, with several co-defendants, is same as relates to trying a single defendant?

Again, why have Falana, Deji Adeyanju, Farotimi, Agbokoba etal not protested and it is an uninformed layman like you making noise? Go and sit somewhere ojare.

kabillion:
When obidients cheers you on, your end is at hand. It's that simple

Lol. The whole truth 💯% and nothing but the truth. The support of Obidients is a curse of doom in reality. 😅😁😆🤣🤣😂😂

PresidObi:
Some people will come into this thread to check if Peter Obi said anything inside the post, if he did, they will oppose his views and leave the killings, if he didn't, they will leave through the back door.

Bruv, go and find something to do with your time other than constant hero-worship of the charlatan Obi.

When serious and existential issues facing Nigeria are to be discussed then know that Obi will never be invited to sit in attendance.

His political peers who have the security reports of Obi's handling of security challenges in Anambra, know he is incompetent, cowardly, duplicitous and compromised.

Only you street level messiah worshippers believe Obi to be what he is not to try to convince others of your delusions.

If not, tell me when, in the history of Nigeria, that a Presidential candidate has not even have a few distinguished and undisputed achievers and titans in politics, business and industry behind him as is the case with the political leper Obi.

The fanbase of Obi mainly consist of young Nigerians with memories that does not stretch beyond 2019 when Obi ran as VP to Atiku.

Awesome01:
All of you Natasha fans asking why FG is sueing on this case should go back through the write-up to see that she force the Attorney General of the federation to take the action by writing a letter to him alleging that the AGF/MJ is bias in investigating the assassination allegations she made against the Senate President and her state Governors . So the guy took the case to court.

Why are blaming the FG from doing exactly what she wants.

She force the FG into the matter herself. Read and educate yourself instead of asking foolish emotional questions

[color=#990000][/color]

Lie-Tasha is an arrogant and misguided empty barrel placed far above her station, in the first place, in a nation of simp men obsessed with 'Oyinbo' skin that only reveals inferiority complex and colonial mentality.

She is not bright at all thinking she can intimidate our AGF, because men have generally always let her have her ways, to usurp the powers and judgement of the police force.

Claim of assasination conspiracy is a criminal matter that must be reported to the police who must then investigate.

I remember, reading somewhere, Natasha claiming the Police were biased against he and not pushing forward to prosecute her petition whereas the reality is likely that as usual and as we have seen, Lie-Tasha only alleges yet never produces evidence to back up her allegation.

Miffed the police dismissed her, the arrogant Natasha likely thought she could approach the AGF and flutter eyelashes to co-opt him into defending her partisanly as she has used other "gullible and hungry" folks (Ezekwesili etal) to do her entire political life.

When he ignored her, and as usual, she tried same blackmail against him she has carried on against many others for ages.

The AGF, intelligently, has now decided to charge Natasha to Court so that, once and for all, and putting an end to all the hide and seek, she faces an actual court case where she must produce evidence to back her claim or lose legally to then face the sanctions for defaming others with lies.

I am very happy with the conduct of the AGF against this woman who thinks she has some magical power of control and coercion over all men.

The floor is now finally open for Lie-Tasha to prove her allegations if she can.

bluecircle470:
We go know if nah shadow FG dey chase or not. By the time she’s found guilty her eyes go clear

Absolutely. Only a Banana Republic will do nothing and let a sitting Senator keep her job after making the
claim that the current Senater President, a Sitting Governor and a former governor planned to assasinate her.

Letting such slide is not good for optics and the image of any nation however unserious. Even Somalia will not allow such.

All that remains is for the talkative Lie-Tasha to provide the name of the contract killer, show proof of payment from Akpabio or Bello into the account of the hitman and conclusive proof of Akpabio, Bello or Ododo giving said hitman clear instructions to kill Lie-Tasha. Shikena.

BlessedGift:
The charges stem from comments the senator allegedly made during a televised interview and a separate private phone conversation, which the government claims were intended to damage reputations in violation of sections 391 and 392 of the Penal Code, Cap 89, Laws of the Federation, 1990.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ1Ua7SaMfk

She is also charged with making the claim that Senate President Akpabio was involved in a conspiracy to assasinate her.
.

Mdaz:
FG should be ashamed of this kind of case when there are high level cases of killings all over the country. This is pathetic to say the least.

Please spare us the sanctimonious noise disguised as concern for the governance of Nigeria. No one has told you the office of the Attorney General of our federation cannot handle several cases simultaneously.

You people claim to want USA's type of "exemplary" democracy yet you cannot see that the US will never allow a negative precedence be set not suing to court a Senator who claims their current Senator President, a serving Governor and a former Governor are in a conspiracy to "assasinate" her.

The names of those people, for the integrity of US democracy and politics, must be cleared before the eyes of ordinary Americans and the world.

Mushmush:
Lietasha. This woman is a habitual liar and a serial blackmailer

She don buy market now and has bitten more than she can chew. This is the FG sueing her not an ordinary person. If she lose then that is beginning of her swift end in Nigerian politics.

I said it months ago, while Lie-tasha was making noise and strutting around like a Peacock, that the only way she survives the six months suspension and return to the Senate is if Tinubu does not approve her take down.

It seems, with this case, PBAT has now given his consent. We warned Lie-Tasha fans that their heroïne could not win the senseless fight she was picking against Akpabio that extending into her international insult and disgrace of Nigeria's image and the integrity of our legislative arm.

She would not listen as she was been egged on by those as brainless as she was. Why is she now silent and humble after Duru stepped forward?

She must now prove she did not defame others when she claimed Akpabio, Nigeria's Senate President, had contracted Yaya Bello, a former Governor, and Ododo, a string Governor, to "assasinate' her.

Only a lunatic makes that kind of allegation against men of lofty public and political standing yet expects no repercussion.

Ttalk:
Seriously if there is anything you can't take away from Obi, is his expertise in mourning situation.

He so perfect the art of mourning that even his voice and clothes reflect a mourner. Invite Obi into a funfare event and see him turn it to mourning, crying and Lamentations.

Peter Obi should have been the one to visit Benue, am sure he would have mourned better than Tinubu

His hypocrisy is legendary and nauseating. Look at the mother below whose three sons were murdered in Awkuzu Police Stattion under the control of James Nwafor who was Obi's loyal 'man Friday'.

Na beans to lose three grown sons yet Obi never constituted an investigation or inquiry into the horrors going on in Awkuzu police station he cannot feign ignorance of given that the affected families were very vocal and petitioning Obi vehemently.

Can Nigerians imagine same happening in one police station for years under any other Governor bar the 'messiah' Obi?

Till today, no justice for the more than 100 young men who lost their lives under Obi's watch and Nigeria has the displeasure of listening to this hypocritical failure criticising a President who is two years in office and excelled per security while Governor.

In sane nations, you cannot play opposition politics as failed and hypocritical Obi is playing it without citizens calling you out.

Yet anything goes in horrendously ethno-religiously bigoted Nigeria.

Peter obi, the most desperate clueless Nigerian ever!
Abeg, keep on crying and making a fool of yourself...Nothing do you!

I really wonder what Rufai Oseni, "investigative journalist" Hundeyin and other 'newsmen' Lovers of Obi are waiting for , over so many years now, till they produce a documentaty about the more than a decade-long Chambers of death, worse than any den of cultist or ritual killers in Nigeria, Awkuzu police Station was.

All controlled by James Nwafor and under the Governorship of Peter Obi.

My guy Reno Omokri, do the needful so families of victims can confirm what a "messiah' Obi was with how he failed hundreds of murderers young men under his 'man Friday' Jame Nwafor. The butcher of Awkuzu.

Obi should stop his hypocritical noise. He should even be ashamed, if capable of feeling shame, speaking like this today. We have not lost our memory like his Obidient fanboys and Obi should stop patronising our intelligence with his hollow messianic noise.

Kusu12:
Peter Obi failed miserably during his 8 years as governor of Anambra State, yet he now presents himself as a “Mr. Know-It-All.” The same people who once criticized his poor performance have suddenly turned him into a messiah overnight—driven purely by tribal sentiment.

Under his watch, Anambra youths were killed and their bodies dumped in the Akwazu River.

If Obi truly had all these fantastic policies and ideas, why didn’t he use them to improve Anambra when he was in power?
Obi is a failure in all ramifications.

To make it worse, it is common knowledge that the killings were carried out by Obi's 'man Friday' the Awkuzu SARS butcher James Nwafor.

This is why I dislike partisan haters and hero worshippers like Rufai Oseni. They will never have the courage or will to stick a mic under the nose of Obi and ask him why he failed the young men whose bodies were discovered in Ezu River or the whereabout of James Nwafor today.

The genocidal butcher disappeared into thin air after the intense focus on killer cops during the #EndSARS protest and has never been seen since.

Till today, neither Obi or his maniacal Obidient followers have any interest in talk of the deaths and atrocities under Peter Obi's rule as Governor.

You are 100% right. Obi indeed "failed miserably' in small Anambra of 4.7 million people while Governor. The joke is that he thinks all of us have developed mass amnesia like his Obidient worshippers pretend to be suffering from

Please, all Nigerians who believe in justice and sensitization of the public over who leaders are, so the likes of Obidient cannot twist the narrative, should help me promote awareness of "the most brutal station in Nigeria" situated in Awkuzu Anambra State.

A decade-long tale of horror and abomination in Anambra that Obi could not resolve as Governor.

The failure of many families over many years, shown below, confirms what Obi is..

henkey:
Let us tell ourselves the truth, what we saw yesterday during the Visit of Mr President in Benue State is very Disappointed both on the Governor's side and the President.

Nothing you people will not blame Tinubu for. If he does not visit you'll condemn him vociferously.

He notifies the Governor of his visit to Benue. Alia makes a mess of it, to include declaring a public holiday which I disagree with, and you people are here blaming Tinubu.

Are you for real? How many processes and leaders do you expect him to have oversight control over plus his most pressing and core responsibilities as President in a nation with seperate tiers of Governance I.e Federal, State and local Governments ?

The problem is that most of you are simply not sophisticated enough to look beyond shouting "Tinubu" over every issue that arise.

You for example, do you even know the name, phone number, email and office of your local government. Chairman?

Yet if a dead Cow is seen on your internal road, that is under the jurisdiction of your local govermment chairman, the first thing you will do is to rush online and shout "Tinubu".
