@IU_Wakilii Dangote is a business man. We need business people to behave like Business people (Dangote). Since Nigerian government has never acted in good faith, I will support Dangote's blackmail over government anytime.
@Imranmuhdz Hmmmmm..... Nice to see this happening in my lifetime. The tycoons are the only ones that can match our government head for head. Fight for your business o
“You people are now supporting Army”.
ACTUALLY NO.
To be clear:
Nobody is “jubilating” that the military took control of a property to prevent the rightful agency do its job of inspection/regulation.
That’s NOT the point. Let’s not twist facts.
People are happy because a well known power-crazed drunken lunatic politician tried to humiliate a young military officer (who has done him no wrong) and in the end, it was the politician himself who got humiliated and disgraced.
This politician could have left the scene calmly and approached the courts to report the alleged illegality by the military brass but instead he chose to reduce himself to a street thug shouting obscenities at a fine well-behaved military officer.
This politician was wrong in this case.
He was a thoughtless power-drunk moron who deserved the televised humiliation he got. And no amount of gaslighting will retell the story or rewrite the facts.
With this deserving dose of embarrassment, Wike would learn to go to court. The FCDA should go to court & stop bullying people off landed property.
Today is not about whether the young chap was right. It's for Nigerians. A joy well deserved.
Say NO to Bullies!!!!
@gimbakakanda Sovereignty my arse
Christian in northern nigeria nd the Middle Belt have always faced this conundrum
foreign interests vs Islamists and religious fundamentalists.
both divide us
And Nigerian sovereignty would not be maintained at the expense/blood of Nigerian Christians
Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:
1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.
2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.
3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.
4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.
5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)
6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.
7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.
8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.
9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!
Putting this out there into the universe:
If there is anyone who has or intends to have babies over the next 3 years in Ghana and you're not interested in subjecting your kids to West Africa's substandard colonial syllabus or the expensive foreign imitation schools that will teach your West African kids to become Diet Americans and low budget Brits, let's come together and have a conversation about launching our own school with a modern, African-centred syllabus.

All we need in this country is to just focus on one issue. Focus on one issue. One issue and things will change. One issue at a time. Focus on security. Focus on security. Focus on security.
#Nigerians#Focus
#Nigeria has a government. Call our government out for their complicity. Call on Nigerians to hold our government accountable for the killings. It doesn't negate standing up for Palestinians. Or speaking against Israel's disregard for International law.
#commonsense
The Nigerian authorities must immediately end the almost daily bloodshed in Benue state and bring the actual perpetrators to justice.
The horrifying killing of over 100 people by gunmen that invaded Yelewata; from late Friday into the early hours of Saturday 14 June 2025, shows the security measures government claims to be implementing in the state are not working.
Many people are still missing, aside dozens injured and left without adequate medical care. Many families were locked up and burnt inside their bedrooms. So many bodies were burnt beyond recognition.
Amnesty International has been documenting the alarming escalation of attacks across Benue state where gunmen have been on a killing spree with utter impunity. These attacks have been causing massive displacement and may affect food security as majority of the victims are farmers.
The Nigerian authorities’ failure to stem the violence is costing people’s lives and livelihoods, and without immediate action many more lives may be lost.
I don't know who we, Nigerians believe will come and help us. Who do the people in Benue, Plateau, Katsina, Zamfara, Borno, etc, think will help them?
Your government, our government, is responsible for the killings. Social contract exists between us & them.
If & when Nigerians are killed in Nigeria by either terrorists or bandits, the governments-both state & federal are responsible. There is a reason you people went to school. If you don't know what a social contract means, then sorry I can't help you.
No one is killing Nigerians in Nigeria but the Nigerian government.
No one is killing Nigerians in Nigeria but the Nigerian government.
No one is killing Nigerians in Nigeria but the Nigerian government.
No one is killing Nigerians in Nigeria but the Nigerian government.
Fears of famine grow as Israel’s total blockade on all food and aid into Gaza passes its eighth week.
