Donald Trump was found GUILTY of 34 counts of campaign finance fraud by a jury of his own peers.
Judge Merchan is to sentence Trump on Friday January 10th.
Raise an American flag if you think that Donald Trump should face the same sentencing as any other American citizen.🇺🇸
@aonanuga1956 NNPCL get shame!?
At some | right point, that super-useless cash-cow, money gulping, endemically corrupt conglomerate will go the way the likes of VON, Nigeria Airways, NNSL, PAN went. Not all Nigerian is stupid!
I'll break this down. Biden just used Executive Order 13848 to impose sanctions on Iran and Russia for ELECTION INTERFERENCE in 2024! He KNOWS that Trump CHEATED with the help of Iran, Russia, Musk, and the GOP! Now, we'll have to see what he does NEXT! This isn't OVER!
BREAKING: The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has presented the 2025 budget proposal to the Rivers State House of Assembly, which is led by Honorable Victor Oko Jumbo as the Speaker.
There were people who were silent when Buhari was fielding political offices with his Kinsmen, and have now found their voice to speak out when the equation doesn’t favour them.Lets not make reference to the nepotism that marginalised Southern Kaduna for eight years.Kaduna was an apartheid state for eight years.
Press Release
Niger Republic’s Military Leader’s Allegations Against Nigeria Are Baseless - FG
The Federal Government of Nigeria strongly rejects allegations made in a viral video by the military leader of Niger Republic, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, claiming non-existent collusion between Nigeria and France to destabilize his country. These claims exist solely in the realm of imagination, as Nigeria has never engaged in any overt or covert alliance with France - or any other country - to sponsor terrorist attacks or destabilize the Niger Republic in the wake of the undemocratic change in the leadership of that country.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), as Chairman of ECOWAS, has demonstrated exemplary leadership, keeping the doors of the sub-regional body open to re-engaging Niger Republic despite the political situation in the country. Nigeria remains committed to fostering peace, harmony, and historic diplomatic ties with Niger. Nigeria’s Armed Forces, in collaboration with partners in the Multinational Joint Task Force, are succeeding in curbing terrorism within the region. It is, therefore, absurd to suggest that Nigeria would conspire with any foreign power to undermine the peace and security of a neighbouring country. Neither the Nigerian government nor any of its officials has ever been involved in arming or supporting any terror group to attack Niger Republic.
Furthermore, no part of Nigeria has been ceded to any foreign power for subversive operations in Niger Republic. We reiterate our full support to senior Nigerian government officials for their untiring commitment to fostering peace and security between the government and people of Nigeria and Niger, and for their efforts towards stronger cooperation in the ECOWAS region. Indeed, Nigeria has a long-standing tradition of safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Unlike some nations, Nigeria has never permitted foreign powers to establish military bases on its soil. This demonstrates our commitment to national independence and regional leadership. The accusation that Nigeria seeks to sabotage Niger’s pipelines and agriculture is both unfounded and counterproductive. Nigeria has consistently supported Niger’s economic development through joint energy and infrastructure projects, such as the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and the Kano-Maradi Railway Project. It is illogical to suggest that Nigeria would undermine initiatives it has actively promoted. The claims about the alleged establishment of a so-called Lakurawa terrorist headquarters in Sokoto State, purportedly orchestrated by Nigeria in collaboration with France, are baseless.
Nigeria has been a regional leader in combating terrorism, dedicating significant resources and lives to ensure stability in the Lake Chad Basin and beyond. Recently, the Nigerian military launched Operation Forest Sanity III, specifically addressing the Lakurawa threat, Code Named Operation Chase Lakurawa Out. How can a government actively fighting the Lakurawa menace now be accused of harbouring the same group within its borders? These accusations lack credible evidence and seem to be part of a broader attempt to deflect attention from Niger’s internal challenges.
The public is urged to disregard these false allegations. Those making such claims, particularly the Military Leader in Niger Republic, must provide credible evidence to substantiate them. Any attempt to blackmail Nigeria over ECOWAS’s principled stance against the unconstitutional seizure of power in the Niger Republic is both disingenuous and doomed to fail.
In conclusion, President Tchiani’s allegations are not only unfounded but also a dangerous attempt to divert attention from his administration’s shortcomings. Nigeria remains committed to fostering regional stability and will continue to lead efforts to address terrorism and other transnational challenges. We urge Niger to focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration rather than peddling baseless accusations.

The Military President of Niger Republic insisted that there is France military presence in Nigeria while the Federal Government has consistently denied the existence of French military bases in the country.Linguistics experts in English and French should help us in differentiating between “Presence” and “Bases”.
Never have I seen where people are rushing to enter plane, except they're running from a terrorist attack or a natural disaster.
Why's everything different in Nigeria 🥺🥺
@AishaYesufu You have issues with Tinubu
