@iam_curiosity @LBGamestips Islamic terrorists are slaughtering Christians in churches and villages in your country at record levels. Innocent men, women, and children for simply being Christian. Maybe worry about that first before chanting ‘Death to America

@Alpha30723507 As if Nigeria is better and safer now than during the years of the military.
English

Nigeria.
It was actually the military that provided the safety, sanity and unity that binded and bonded us.
Democratic leaders have only achieved one thing: Divided the people and destroy the fabric of society.
Every four years, they instigate religious, regional and ethnic sentiments that puts the country on edge.
After the elections, they continue instigating ethnic and religious tensions to keep their base.
When they are asked to be accountable, they run under the cover of their religion and ethnicity.
The more we run on this western styled democratic sham, the worse our society will get.
Your democratic leaders are a curse to our nation! They can't even unite the people.
With the current trajectory, we won't have a nation in the next 20/25 years
Each election cycle, they bring out their razors to cut the thread of national unity!
They sponsor touts and thugs, bandits, unknown gunmen, militants and terrorists to terrorize the people and win elections.
They undermine the leadership of the country by funding gangs of terror to wreck havoc so that they'll have things to use in campaigning against their opponent.
Political soundbites are more important to them than our collective good.
If you can't see the danger of western styled democracy in our society, you sure do need to take off the shade you are wearing.
Perhaps, you need medicated contact lenses.
The military Juntas in the sahel states are more disciplined, coordinated and patriotic than your demon possessed and demoncrazy leaders.
It's been 26 years of so called democratic governance in Nigeria, how many industries, factories and heavy plants have your democratic leaders established?
The most industrial years of Nigeria, where we achieved a bit of self sufficiency were under the military.
So, what's with all this noise about democracy?
The western styled model of democracy we've adopted is a joke. It doesn't reflect our national reality. If we don't do away with it, we won't have a country pretty soon.
Lastly, I'll gladly live in a country governed by a nationalistic, patriotic military junta that will give me and my fellow country men security, stability and national development than live in a so called democratic system that can't do the basic thing of securing lives and property.
You need a system overhaul not an occasional change of players that maintains the same parasitic, exploitative and extractive system.
Shove your democracy in your as*
I am not joining you people in the clown show.

@DD_Geopolitics Same biased post from @DD_Geopolitics as usual. That's why they blockd my posting in their TG channel 2025: 1) Nigeria has 3 refineries since '70s; 2) Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian listed on Forbes as richest African, owns Dangote refinery as well as other factories all over Africa
English

China built a $20 billion oil refinery in Nigeria, and Europe is furious.
Nigeria, one of Africa's largest oil producers, had no refinery. For decades, it exported crude and imported gasoline at markup. China's Dangote Oil Refinery in Lagos changed that. Now Nigeria is exporting refined gasoline instead of just raw crude.
The refinery is operating at 94% of its 650,000-barrel-per-day capacity, meeting domestic demand with surplus shipped abroad. In March, Nigeria exported approximately 44,000 barrels of gasoline per day. A single shipment of 317,000 barrels reached Mozambique—the first delivery to East Africa.
Production is projected to reach 1.4 million barrels per day within three years, making it Africa's largest refinery.
For decades, Western oil majors kept Nigeria dependent while extracting crude, refining it abroad, and selling it back at a premium. China built the infrastructure Europe refused to. Now Nigeria controls its own energy supply chain, and European refiners are losing a captive market.
This is what economic sovereignty looks like. This shouldn’t surprise any of our subs, we covered this story back in November on DD Geopolitics.
English

@Oludeewon What is happening in power sector is exactly what happened to Nigeria govt owned refineries: deeply engineered sabotage - yes a determined govt can unravel and find solutions
English

My friend who used to work at BEDC told me in 2016 that the rot and corruption she saw in the Nigerian power sector CANNOT be solved in 50-100 years, except a miracle happens.
I told her it only takes a good government to fix it, and she laughed.
10 years later, she reminded me of that conversation
She is now in the UK🇬🇧 anyway, well established.

@arojinle1 But the author called it "powdered concoction" same as you repeat. So what's the deal? But, tho I can't be sure of now, I can assure you that local hunters have highly potent anti-snake Àjẹsára (bodyguard) that's not powder substance some decades ago.
English

The tags I got under this video are too numerous to ignore and I know people will keep tagging me till I say something.
For those thinking that this supports the claim that there are some plants that will kill a snake if a snake dares come close to it, it does not.
What paralysed the snake in this video is not a living plant. It's a powdered concoction. Powders contain compounds at high concentration (possibly from different plants) which can overwhelm the system.
Let me give an example of this. If you have mild toothache and chew one whole clove, you would feel better and it won't have any side effects. If you take just a sip of clove oil instead, you will likely suffer liver damage, seizures, coma and so on. Same plant, different concentration.
If a human walks close to or rubs their body against a foxglove plant, nothing happens. But if they sniff a powder made from foxglove, it could disrupt heart rhythm and cause arrhythmias or paralysis.
Thank you

Snake dies instantly after coming into contact with powdered concoction.

@SimFubaraKSC Your predecessors, not singular. Though adjusted by your immediate predecessor, the original idea and engineering designs were initiated late 2007/2008. Fact!
English

Today, I inspected the 50.15-kilometre Port Harcourt dual-carriage Ring Road project.
This is one of our legacy projects that underscores my administration’s commitment to the welfare of our people by the expansion of our State’s infrastructure.
It was a vision initiated by my predecessor and I am impressed with the level of work done so far and, based on assurances from the contractor, we are confident that this landmark project will be fully completed and delivered by October this year.

@RepRileyMoore Ofc, you've achieved the aims of your earlier blitzkrieg based lies having stampede the sitting FG to tread softly towards BRICS, which could've been more beneficial to Nigeria. Even the blind can see it
English

I have traveled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way. Efforts to embolden separatists hurts Christians in Nigeria - especially in the North and Middle Belt.
A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.
I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ - and for that matter, all Nigerians - suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.
The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations.
God bless you all.

@Lord_Of_Warri @dangbanamanager You are just mild on 9jaGovts. They are the real culprit: redirected EFCC from it's principal purpose (official graft) to the few poverty driven online 💕scam & spam email/obt miscreants. They labeled all cyber cafe as yahoox2 etc while the local uninformed press hyped on
English

It is Nigerians themselves and the Nigerian government that gave Nigeria that title. I watched an American street interview last year where a Nigerian girl openly said she is from “Nigeria, the scam capital of the world.” I was genuinely pissed because that was incredibly stupid to say. That kind of talk gives Nigeria terrible PR.
Countries like Russia, China, the USA, India, North Korea, Germany, Romania, and many others have far more scammers than Nigeria, but Nigeria is unnecessarily popular because of the loud, careless promotion of rubbish by our own people and government.
A few years ago, Ghana told the FBI they do not have scammers in their country when the FBI asked for a cooperative base. Meanwhile, Nigeria would proudly announce how it has millions of them. I’m not saying criminals shouldn’t be arrested or exposed, but at least protect the image of your country.
All these visa bans and the reason people look down on our passport are consequences of this terrible PR driven by both the government and citizens. Every country has bad eggs, but no country puts its bad eggs on display the way Nigeria has done.

@atiku @officialABAT 1st time I upvote Atiku's post
Mature Opposition with facts 👍
English

Dear @officialABAT, by July next year, your administration will have spent two full years deliberately ignoring a binding judgment of the Supreme Court directing the Federal Government to implement direct FAAC allocation to local governments.
This is not delay. It is defiance. Your refusal to act is a calculated political move—using obedience to the law as a bargaining chip to force opposition governors into the APC and to keep governors within your party firmly under your control. In doing so, you have reduced the Constitution to a tool of convenience and governance to partisan bargaining.
Let us be clear: Supreme Court judgments are final, not optional. Persistently refusing to enforce one is a direct breach of the Constitution and a violation of the oath you swore to Nigerians.
Local governments are the closest arm of government to the people. By withholding their financial autonomy (which ironically you've been trumpeting as a core cardinal policy), you are not weakening governors, you are crippling communities, stalling development, and deepening poverty at the grassroots. Roads remain broken, health centres abandoned, salaries unpaid—not by accident, but by choice.
This situation does not require threats of Executive Orders or political drama. The solution is simple: instruct the Attorney-General of the Federation to enforce the judgment immediately. Anything short of this is a failure of leadership.
Your continued inaction sends a clear message: that political control matters more than constitutional duty, that party dominance matters more than economic justice, and that regime survival outweighs the daily suffering of Nigerians already battered by harsh economic policies.
Nigeria deserves leadership that obeys the law it swore to protect, not one that bends it for political gain.
History will not forget this moment. Nigerians will not either. -AA

@Lord_Of_Warri I think standing on this legal position, it's good to ensure the area is no longer fit to be called "Ogbe-Ijaw" because a persistent lies unchecked and not corrected will one day become truth

The Court of Appeal has today reaffirmed Itsekiri ownership, ruling decisively that Ogbe-ijaw has no territorial claim within Warri South Local Government Area.
The judgment was delivered in Appeal No. CA/AS/154/2024, filed by Ijaw parties claiming royal and territorial entitlement in Warri South. The Court dismissed the appeal in its entirety, upholding Itsekiri ownership and authority.

@EmmyPromise71 Owner of this handle must be a kindergarten to make such a blatant lies. BH started about 4yrs after OBJ's admin (1999-2007)
English

It’s funny how all of you suddenly become historians whenever OBJ speaks, but nobody ever asks the most important question; why are you people comfortable repeating a story that exposes just how badly the Nigerian state failed under the same man telling it?
OBJ said he met Gumi, Gumi met terrorists, boys under 15 were holding weapons, fueled by drugs, believing they were “fortified.” Instead of telling us why a whole Commander-in-Chief allowed terrorism to grow wings during his own tenure, you people are using the clip to play the prophet.
The same Obasanjo who is talking today is the same person who first announced, “We’ve killed Boko Haram” in 2003, only for Boko Haram to grow into the monster that terrorized the whole Northeast for over a decade.
Was it not under him that Mohammed Yusuf was allowed to build a movement openly without the state shutting it down early?
When did Sambisa Forest turn into a permanent headquarters for terrorists? Who allowed the space to decay until 15 yr olds were carrying rifles like walking sticks? It didn’t happen overnight.
Nobody asks why he didn’t fix the intelligence failures. Nobody asks why a whole president depended on secondhand information from Gumi instead of going there with the military he commanded.
Nobody asks why Boko Haram kept expanding even after he claimed he went to negotiate with them. Nobody asks why he left office without dismantling the structure that later became one of the deadliest terror groups on the continent.
OBJ should be explaining why the Nigerian military couldn’t enter areas that a civilian cleric entered casually. He should be explaining why he received intelligence about child fighters and fortified boys but still left the hydra untouched. He should be telling us why the problem multiplied after him, not packaging failure as a memoir.
But as usual, Nigerians jump on the emotional headline and forget the context.
If a President says that someone told him, “security agencies who claimed they entered Sambisa were lying,” the correct response is not applause. The correct response is, “Why didn’t you fix it?
Why didn’t you reshuffle them? Why didn’t you strengthen the intelligence architecture? Why did you leave the office with Boko Haram stronger than when you met it?”
OBJ is telling on himself, but most of you are too excited to notice!!!
CHUKS 🍥@ChuksEricE
"I met with Sheikh Gumi during my tenure after he visited the Bøko Haram terrørists in Sambisa forest. He told me that some of the boys were under 15 years old, holding weapons, influenced by hard substances, and claiming they had fortified themselves. He also said that if any security personnel claimed they had gone into the area, they were not telling the truth." — Former President Obasanjo
