It was wrong for APC people to threaten others from voting but you falsely claiming Non Yoruba people were killed is worse.

One (Yoruba tout) person was killed for attempting to steal the ballot box in Surulere/Yaba axis, apart from that, no one else has been reported killed, why the lies?

NurseJay:
Always blaming. When will the blaming games end Sir? Na blames we go chop? Ehn?

When Nigerian civil servants celebrate you leaving, you're definitely doing something right and have not given them freedom to slack as usual. All they want is to stroll in and out of the office just to mark attendance register and do absolutely nothing.

Nigerian civil service needs a total overhaul. Only about 20% of them are actually doing productive work, the rest are a liability.

success1smyn:
Which people? You no dey think? This are civil servants in the ministry not politician or political supporters.

SirDafeh:
Can you please not say this in public. On behalf of your family members, I use God beg you.

membranus:
Seems you are new to Nairaland. If you don't know, the monicker, anonimi, you are hyping, is Atiku's propaganda mercenary on this platform. And he is just working for his monthly stipend from the Atiku camp here.

Pacesetter123:
But today, when Obi or Atiku do the same thing, you people will gaslight them, expecially Obi,that he is demarketing Nigeria.
You turn it to tribal politics.That he is aligning with the north to oust a Yoruba man to scuttle the turn of the South.
But when Tinubu was forming alliance with the same Northerners like Atiku,Buhari,ElR
rufai,Almakura,etc to remove Jonathan and scuttle the turn of the South, nobody talks about Ijaw and the southern turn.
Ijaws did not accuse Tinubu of demarketing Nigeria then.
Yorubas did not wear the tribal eyeglass then...ooo,rather,the praise Tinubu's action as being masterclass.
They see all his words and actions as a normal thing opposition should do.
Today, Obi as an opposition leader is trying to do the same "normal opposition things" , people are crying and abusing him.
That's high level hypocrisy.
Today,Atiku as an opposition leader is trying to the same thing against Tinubu,the yorubas supporters are crying and abusing him and saying it's not the turn of the North.
As if it was the turn of the North when Tinubu brought in Buhari in 2015.
Hypocrisy is a bad ideology.

tollyboy5:
As an Epe boy I like ambode but I strongly believe hamzat has a lot to offer.
Hamzat will come with more strict discipline and engineering project ideas.

Bentacur007:
Is that real?
I don’t want to watch the video till someone confirms the video

Is he playing mind games?

U getting me wrong.... I was referring to a post I am In support of even thou I am not in support of any political party for now. If they obident insults people's candidates they should not get pissed their candidate's are been insulted too. U can't just keep shuting people up or bullying pple. If u think u mad their are people who are more mad than you and will face u one on one. Aura for aura. Nobody holds the monopoly of madness.

Osiris12:
u see something korokoro. U still dey ask ai. You go really get issues at school understanding things

Parachoko:
The Government and the Court must not be lenient on them.

If they succeeded, their actions would have lead to anarchy, the collapse of the Nigerian economy and the Naira, there will be riots, lots of people will lose thier lives

It can even lead to a civil war

We need stability in Nigeria. It's because of Military rule we're in this position today.

Nothing Tangible was achieved during the military regime.

CodeTemplar:
Yekinically speakings.

Parachoko:
If they are found Guilty. They should pay the price with Thier lives

Hemanwel:
Why Bros Jona dey reply Atiku nah?

But to be sincere too, Bros Jona too weak to lead Nigeria. After all the name-calling by Tinubu. After all Tinubu did to oust you from power, you're still fraternizing and frolicking with same person. You ain't gat no balls, walahi!

Redoil:
GUY MAN JONATHAN should rest.
if not for tinubu and atiku who lied to Nigerian about Jonathan buhari would have never smelled the position

helinues:
Imagine Atiku that the power portfolio was singlehandedly given to him to find solutions but unfortunately, importation of generator was the solution Atiku had for Nigeria

Should Atiku be shading others about governance? Someone who almost sold all our national assets to his friends and cronies

keemsleek:
Until we learn to accept everybody has the right to talk the better. You can't keep insulting people and don't want to be insulted. You have to be able to take what you give. Aura for Aura. Every political supporters have their madness too,best to just sit on the wall and watch.

Nigeria charges six people with treason over Independence Day coup plot
15 hours ago

Six people in Nigeria, including a retired major general and a serving police inspector, have been charged with treason for attempting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu in a coup last year.

The charges were filed by the Attorney General at the Federal High Court in the capital, Abuja, where the defendants are due to appear before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik on Wednesday.

A seventh person - a former governor and one-time oil minister, Timipre Sylva - was also named but the court documents said he was still at large.

Rumours of the coup plot first surfaced in October 2025 when the government abruptly cancelled a planned military parade to mark Nigeria's 65th Independence Anniversary.

At the time, officials cited security threats - but speculation quickly linked the cancellation to a possible coup plot.

The military denied the suggestion, but in January it announced that 16 officers were to be tried before a military court for attempting to oust the president.

It is unclear whether the charges filed in the Federal High Court, which also include terrorism and money laundering, are in addition to the military prosecutions.

Six people in Nigeria, including a retired major general and a serving police inspector, have been charged with treason for attempting to overthrow President Bola Tinubu in a coup last year.


The charges were filed by the Attorney General at the Federal High Court in the capital, Abuja, where the defendants are due to appear before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik on Wednesday.

A seventh person - a former governor and one-time oil minister, Timipre Sylva - was also named but the court documents said he was still at large.

Rumours of the coup plot first surfaced in October 2025 when the government abruptly cancelled a planned military parade to mark Nigeria's 65th Independence Anniversary.

At the time, officials cited security threats - but speculation quickly linked the cancellation to a possible coup plot.

The military denied the suggestion, but in January it announced that 16 officers were to be tried before a military court for attempting to oust the president.

It is unclear whether the charges filed in the Federal High Court, which also include terrorism and money laundering, are in addition to the military prosecutions.


Sylva, who served as petroleum minister from 2019 to 2023 under former President Muhammadu Buhari and was also governor of the southern oil-rich Bayelsa state from 2007 to 2012, denied links to a coup plot after his house was ransacked by investigators last October.

An arrest warrant was issued for him the following month in a separate case launched by the country's anti-corruption. At the time his spokesman said the former minister was in the UK for a medical check-up and said the allegations were politically motivated.

Those named in the Attorney General's case are:

Mohammed Ibrahim Gana, a retired major general

Erasmus Ochegobia Victor, a retired navy captain

Ahmed Ibrahim, a police inspector

Zekeri Umoru, an electrician working at the Presidential Villa

Bukar Kashim Goni, a civilian

Abdulkadir Sani, an Islamic cleric.

According to the charge sheet, the six defendants, who have yet to comment on the allegations, "conspired with one another to levy war against the state to overawe" the president.

The court papers suggest that coup plot was led by Col Mohammed Alhassan Ma'aji, who was arrested along with other accomplices.

Prosecutors also allege the defendants had prior knowledge of the Col Ma'aji's "treasonable act", but failed to inform authorities.

The charges include the suppression of intelligence, with prosecutors alleging the defendants were intent on destabilising the state and failed to disclose information that could have helped prevent terrorism.

Money-laundering allegations form a significant part of the case - with accusations that money changed hands linked to the financing of terrorism.

Under Nigerian law, treason is one of the most serious criminal offences and can attract severe penalties, including life imprisonment.

Nigeria has experienced a period of unbroken civilian rule since 1999. The armed forces have consistently stressed their loyalty to civilian authority, often issuing public statements reaffirming their commitment to democracy

sleek214:
Only thing you guys know is insults.

Bwanasaraw:
It took late President Buhari almost a year to appoint saints as Ministers.

Buhari's 8 years in power had no meaningful impact in the life of ordinary Nigerians.

Electricity, Aviation, Security, Health, Education, FCT administration, Humanitarian ministry were all entrenched in corruption.

Lordviccodaguru what do you have to say?

FSBoperator:
They are bitter and envious people.

This project is turning their hearts red.

Otti that they won't let us rest can not boast of such a project but they keep ranting he is the best because he constructed highly over inflated and substandard roads.


But when another governor outside their region actually provides world class infrastructure it should not be celebrated.

You see their stinking duality?
