As soon as the Yorubas are acting in ways that protect their interests, it is immediately called tribalism.
Everybody can have village meetings & organize themselves in ways that is in the interests of their group but not the Yorubas- and not even in their own land.
They must be the ones who have to adapt themselves to everyone. They must be the gracious hosts, who shouldn't mind reducing themselves for others to look bigger.
Their culture must be shared or co-owned & they must have a thick skin against cultural prejudices, framed as political differences. They must accept envy & accept the bully was always a victim.
All of that nonsense is abuse. It must stop.
I'll be very honest here: I am 50/50 split on PO
On one hand I am sure he's a nationalist who genuinely wants to see Nigeria work.
On the other his deep ties with the West makes me very uneasy.
But I will say this:
Nigeria is not ready for a fiercely outspoken Traore type.
Because half of the country are Deputy Yankees who think Americans are superheroes that save the world.
While the other half are Deputy Saudis who will throw common sense out the window if you can add a religious spin to your agenda.
It's why I've always maintained that if you don't change the material and social conditions of the population first, any leader preaching anti neo-colonialism will be met by confusion, suspicion and eventually derision.
So don't expect PO to start channeling his inner Fanon or Rodney (if they exist).
And hey, at the end of the day anyone can make any statement.
Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize while bombing the crap out of many countries in the global south.
So words are air.
What I care more about what people actually do.
Which we haven't seen of PO yet.
And yes, I know my opinion won't change nada etc etc.
But it's still my opinion.
Jury's still out on this one for me.
This should serve as a lesson to us all.
The capitalist ruling class will always, without a single exception, protect their own.
On paper, and across the heavily filtered screens of the mainstream media, they might appear fiercely divided.
But in the physical world, they work together hand in glove to ruthlessly maintain their generational wealth and to tighten their violent grip on our sovereign lands and resources.
Or he could be trying to take away the ability of his opposition to spin the narrative and say his supporters are bigoted?
Our people are hopelessly in chains to religion. Forget you and me who are "enlightened" and blowing grammar here.
As I've said, the jury is still out for me on his true intentions.
I simply do not know.
Plus I've mentioned before that I don't see PO as the revolutionary leader Nigeria needs right now.
He's more of the guy who stabilizes things after the real revolutionary has cleared the field.
You're retarded.
This is like a white person saying because many Nigerians are yahoo boys and ruin lives...
You, Mr. Akinola are also a criminal and should be thrown in jail if you sneeze wrongly.
Your true enemies are not the tattered, malnourished young men cosplaying as Islamic crusaders.
Your enemies are the people who equip them with weaponry our army does not have, solar panels and 100s of Starlink dishes.
Your enemies are the ones who tell your government that they won't give them loans if they don't integrate murderers back into society.
Your enemies are the people who orchestrated a regime change operation in 2015 that turned Nigeria from a country slated to hit 1T GDP this decade into the poverty capital of the world.
Keep chasing smoke you hear?
fulanis are mass murdering every ethnic group in nigeria and have been doing so for many years but it’s xenophobia we should be scared of
some of you are big fools fr
Is this how we're going to continue in Nigeria?
Year after year decade after decade fighting insecurity that claims thousands upon thousands of people?
Will we still be fleeing from our homes and be scared to travel to next postal code in 2040?
Will 2050 come and we still haven't fixed electricity?
Sigh
'An ILLUSION to think US the ONLY superpower in the world' — Haabazoka Lubinda, director of UNZA to RT

BATUK: BRITAIN'S COLONIAL GRIP IN KENYA
BATUK: The White Man’s Burden in Kenya is not just a documentary about a British military base where soldiers roll around in the dirt for six months before returning home to the UK. It is a documentary about abuse of power, occupation of indigenous land and the unfinished business of colonialism.
For decades, ordinary Kenyans living around BATUK have raised allegations of abuse, sexual violence, ecological destruction and impunity, while one of the world’s most powerful former colonial powers continues to operate freely on Kenyan soil, handing out small amounts of compensation whenever evidence of alleged crimes reaches the media.
At the centre of the documentary is the story of Agnes Wanjiru, a 21-year-old Kenyan woman who was tortured, killed and dumped in a septic tank, while British soldiers mocked and ridiculed her death on social media. One soldier posed in front of the septic tank and posted, “If you know, you know.” Others joked about the five-month-old daughter she left behind, posting imagery of a baby beside a gravesite.
But the story goes beyond Agnes and her tragic killing and the shocking behaviour of British troops thereafter. The documentary asks deeper questions:
How did Britain maintain a military presence in Kenya, the very same year the country supposedly gained independence?
Why are foreign troops still training on stolen land while local communities continue to suffer?
And above all, why does the Kenyan government allow all of this?
Laikipia County, currently in the spotlight because of plans for an Ebola quarantine facility for US citizens, is the very same county where the BATUK military base is headquartered. This documentary helps connect the dots about why Kenya’s political elite remain so willing to cede sovereignty to foreign powers like Britain, and why they may be willing to do the same again with the United States.

Be very careful with Nigerians who come here to tell you that all you need to do is to "Remove Tinubu" and insecurity will permanently stop, or that the collapsing Nigerian economy will magically bounce back overnight.
It is absolutely true that terrorists are ravaging our communities in the North and Middle Belt regions and are now slowly gaining a bloody momentum in the South West. It is a terrifying statement of fact that over 1,500 Nigerians have been violently abducted from their homes, and are currently chained to trees in the forests, starved and tortured by rag-tag militias in their mobile camps, stripped of their absolute human dignity, and used as disposable bargaining chips by ruthless trans-national cartels.
All of this is undeniably true, but if we truly desire to fix the insecurity crisis in Nigeria and save our people from these foreign-backed terrorists, we must be cold, logical, and highly calculative with our statements and our actions.
The Tinubu administration may very well be a massive, corrupt circus of incompetent comprador clowns, but your passive game plan of waiting patiently until 2027 to finally vote him out is even more silly, pathetic, and utterly delusional.
These people who come online and tell you to "Remove Tinubu and put Peter Obi" are actually doing much more harm than good to our collective survival. They are deliberately turning a bloody situation, which should be an absolute national emergency, into a mere political football, a cheap campaign slogan, and a tribal popularity contest.
On May 15, 2026, over 100 innocent students and teachers were violently uprooted from their classrooms in Borno and Oyo states, and they are currently being brutalized, raped, and slaughtered by ruthless bandits. So this is absolutely not the time for cheap political campaigns. This is not the time to blindly promote Peter Obi or strictly channel your superficial aggression on Bola Tinubu.
This is the exact time that Nigerians need to aggressively storm the defense headquarters across the country, completely paralyze the federal capital, and physically force the defense ministers, the service chiefs, and the useless heads of intelligence agencies in Nigeria to unilaterally sign their resignation letters. This is the time that we need to know the exact profile details of the chief security officers, the specific military commanders, and the tactical patrol units active on the very day this brutal kidnapping happened. We need their names published, their bank accounts aggressively investigated, their encrypted phone logs subpoenaed, their immediate assets frozen, and their swift prosecution for treason and criminal complicity.
We need to completely relinquish our daily routines, abandon the illusion of normalcy, and fight for brutal institutional reforms. And if you genuinely think this is something you can magically achieve by waving your plastic permanent voters card at a rigged ballot box, then you need to wake up.
First, understand that 2027 is far too late. Over one hundred women and children have already been abducted this month alone. How many thousands more do you think these cartels will abduct ten months from now before the 2027 general elections even begin? And after the fraudulent election, where the anointed establishment candidate inevitably emerges victorious due to massive biometric rigging and voter suppression, an extra eight months will be completely wasted in symbolic courtroom meetings, useless judicial tribunals, and elite political bargaining while the masses continue to bleed.
Do you honestly think the heavily armed terrorists in the bush will simply drop their assault rifles, abandon their RPGs, sit quietly under a tree, and wait for two years so that you can peacefully elect a competent leader? Absolutely not. While you are holding useless democracy placards and throwing cheap insults at Tinubu on social media, their foreign financiers are actively mapping the bloody blueprints for future attack zones. While you are queuing under the scorching sun in the naive name of exercising your constitutional rights, they are aggressively smuggling their untraceable Starlink terminals, their high-capacity solar batteries, their thermal surveillance drones, and their armor-piercing ammunition into their mobile camps to support the next devastating range of attacks. You will be insulting Tinubu and blindly shouting "Obi Is Coming" while our children and women are being violently uprooted from their schools and dragged to the slaughterhouses in the forests, and the bloody cycle of insecurity continues completely uninterrupted.
The compromised celebrities and internet influencers you see online who are performing their fake outrage and attacking the Tinubu government are absolutely not working for you. They are not fighting for the kidnapped victims, they have no intention of dismantling the neo-colonial state, and they do not care about systemic change. What they are merely doing is managing your raw emotions. They are acting as digital pressure valves so that you can lash out your anger on Tinubu and then peacefully go to sleep, which they very well know will never solve a single structural problem in this country.
@nnukwuifenna@R_eq_uin Babangida stole far FAR more than that & not a single one of you hate him. Interesting. 🤔
Even more interesting is its well known by now Nigeria was under sanctions & that was his way to keep the country afloat. What was babangida & the other thieves' excuse for what they stole?
@dammiedammie35 This is how children are radicalized and indoctrinated and turned into anti social elements.
Let kids be kids, don't get them involved in this foolishness.
General Sani Abacha was a patriot. A nationalist who crushed inflation, crushed the seeds of terrorism at the time. Expanded our foreign reserves amongst other things.
I hope my countrymen one day will learn who their true enemies are.
Under General Sani Abacha, Nigeria was the safest country in Africa and we Nigerians were respected worldwide.
Nigeria survived all the multiple sanctions that would normally cripple a third world country.
Naira to Dollar was pegged at #22 to the dollar.
Then Tinubu and Co. came to fight him with democracy bullshit, and years later, Tinubu became the president and destroyed Nigeria totally.
Stuff like this makes me feel like I've just trekked from Enugu to Kogi.
All this asinine infighting over tiny patches of dirt (in the grand scheme of things) is all so inane!
You've got one impoverished Nigerian fighting another impoverished Nigerian for the barest minimum of scraps compared to the absolute feast they could achieve by working together.
They could literally band together as one unified political force to push aggressively for material change in their homelands.
They could say, "fuck, why are we sending our young men to eat bullets at each other's hands?"
Why are we letting Chevron take out oil for kobo kobo while polluting our homes in the process?
Why should our children live in the swamp... In thatched roof houses raised on stilts and full of mosquitoes and snakes?
Fuck that.
Let's pool our resources, our political power and immense economic leverage to build schools, universities, petrochemical plants.
Let's push for fairer resource revenue allocation to the communities where oil and gas is drilled.
Let's create jobs for our people. Let's invest in our shared future.
Because hey... We've shared this space for hundreds of years. Might as well learn to get along.
Let's turn the coastlines of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom into beautiful seafront real estate to attract global capital and maybe even become the African Singapore in 2-4 decades..
Let's turn our beautiful coastlines into resorts, beaches and national parks.
Let's build rail between our communities and put a gun to the government's head to make sure our roads rival the German Autobahn.
Let's turn Rivers state into Perth. Let's build skyscrapers. Let's create joint venture funds. Let's do all this together.
All it would take...
ALL IT WOULD FUCKING TAKE...
Is to stop fighting this stupid pointless fight that leads to an endless cycle of death, poverty and misery.
Sometimes the utter stupidity of my countrymen beggars belief
Crabs in a bucket indeed.
It's exhausting to watch and outright painful to carry the knowledge of what we could/should be vs what we are.
It is not well
Breaking: Ijaw and Urhobo groups have labeled President Tinubu a “chicken” and are threatening to k!!! everyone and bûrn down government buildings if the federal government refuses to rig the ward delineation process in their favour and hand over Itsekiri political power to them.
This outburst follows after the National Security Adviser’s discovery of fraud in the INEC delineation exercise for the Warri Federal Constituency and also exposing major holes in their claims to Warri lands. They couldn’t prove anything since itsekiri’s have more evidence of ownership. Now they said they have no business with NSA and threatens chaos.
My Response:
I have said it before and I will say it again: no one is afraid of w@r. We have fought them both before and we will do it again if necessary.
The era of threatening the Itsekiri people, grabbing their lands and resources through intimidation is over. If w@r is what they want, we will give it to them. We are all going to di€ together.
There are some very powerful people pulling the strings behind the scenes on this legal issue over airtime lending in Nigeria, trying to stick their straw into a market worth an estimated N400b annually. These people are close to the president, and are wielding tremendous power and distorting the entire economy in ways that would have embarrassed a post-Soviet Russian oligarch in 1994.
I’ve been actively aware of this matter for over two years now and the time may have come to tell the full story of how Idris Saliu Alubankudi, and his brother Shamsudeen Saliu 'Shamz' Alubankudi - both very close to Bola Tinubu and his family - have built one of the biggest and most powerful state corruption enterprises
in the entire history of Nigeria.
These men are attempting to capture the systemically important foundations of the entire Nigerian economy - specifically telecoms and ICT - and turn their 3 year-old corruption enterprise into a sort of Nigerian chaebol. You have never seen anything like it before.
You will be hearing the names 'Idris' and 'Shamz' a lot in the coming few days. Also don’t forget their family name 'Saliu Alubankudi.' It's an important part of the story.
Teachers in Enugu State storm the Enugu State Government House to protest and demand the release of the schoolchildren and teachers kidn@pp£d in Oyo State.
