@Waspapping_ It will divide soon enough. You'll be fighting each other like Sudan within months.

As a northerner, I’m very okay with Nigeria dividing and everyone going their separate ways rather than having Peter Obi as President of this great nation. Let everyone go their separate ways so he can rule over BIAFRA.

@DHQNigeria You're very stupid. Nobody read that rubbish

Once eroded, it is nearly impossible to restore under fire. The Nigerian Army has therefore not overreacted. It has sent a clear signal: social media is not a free‑fire zone against our armed forces during active hostilities. Debate military policy in newspapers or on talk shows – that is welcome. But directly engaging serving soldiers to provoke indiscipline will face the law. CONCLUSION: ACCOUNTABILITY MUST BE SHARED In a democracy under threat, rights come with responsibilities. The Army has a duty to protect itself from internal subversion just as it protects the nation from external enemies. The Justice Crack case was not an assault on free expression; it was a lawful intervention to prevent the weaponization of social media against combat morale. The widespread criticism – much of it based on incomplete facts – ironically proves the danger: misinformation spreads faster than truth. Nevertheless, no institution is perfect. The military can improve, and so can influencers and the public. Therefore, the following recommendations are offered in good faith. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS For the Nigerian Military: Establish a transparent, fast welfare grievance mechanism – a confidential hotline with a rapid‑response team that visits units within 48 hours of a complaint. Publish anonymised summaries of actions taken. Mandate pre‑deployment social media training warning personnel against communicating with civilian influencers on internal matters. Adopt a clear public policy distinguishing legitimate criticism from prohibited incitement, published in English, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba. When future arrests occur, release initial evidence (redacted for security) within 72 hours to prevent misinformation. For Social Media Influencers: Before posting military content, ask three questions: Could this help an enemy? Could it break a soldier’s spirit? Have I verified the claim through official channels? If yes to any, do not post. Nigerian criminal laws on cyberstalking, incitement, and sedition apply to you. If you wish to expose genuine shortcomings, send evidence to Defence Headquarters or recognised civil society groups – not by launching a viral campaign while the nation bleeds. For Civil Society and Human Rights Organisations: Do not reflexively defend every person the military detains. Investigate each case on its merits. In the Justice Crack matter, ask to see the evidence before condemning. Work with the military to create accredited observer programmes for detention of civilian security suspects. Such cooperation will give you moral authority to criticise when the military truly oversteps. For the General Public and Media: Resist turning every military‑civilian clash into a viral outrage. The soldiers in uniform are your children, neighbours, and relatives. When you share a video mocking a soldier’s boots or food, you are demoralising someone who may take a bullet for you tomorrow. Report genuine welfare failures through your state governor, National Assembly member, or Ministry of Defence – not by blowing up the dam online. Extend the same presumption of innocence to the military that you demand for civilians. This statement is issued by Tijjani Tanko, civil‑military relations expert.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A BATTLEFIELD COMMAND – WHY THE NIGERIAN ARMY’S ACTION AGAINST JUSTICE CRACK IS A NATIONAL SECURITY IMPERATIVE By Tijjani Tanko INTRODUCTION: NATION AT WAR CANNOT AFFORD A SECOND FRONT Nigeria is not at peace. Across the North East, North West, and North Central, our armed forces are locked in daily combat against terrorists and bandits. Thousands of soldiers are deployed forward, often without rotation, facing an enemy that watches every word on social media. In this environment, the difference between “free speech” and “subversive act” is not academic – it is life and death. The Nigerian Army recently arrested a social media influencer, Justice Mark Chidiebere (known as “Justice Crack”), and handed him to civil authorities. His crime: systematically spreading content designed to turn soldiers against their commanders over welfare issues – beyond legitimate criticism into active incitement of insubordination. Public outcry has followed, with many calling the Army a silencer of whistleblowers. This statement argues the opposite: the Army acted lawfully, proportionately, and in the highest interest of national security. WHAT JUSTICE CRACK ACTUALLY DID On 2 May 2026, the Army announced the arrest of Justice Crack alongside several soldiers. Investigations showed he had built direct communication lines with frontline troops. He did not merely amplify complaints about rations or equipment – he actively urged soldiers to question their commanders’ legitimacy, refuse orders, and post videos attacking military hierarchy. Some soldiers admitted receiving small payments to share internal grievances that should have gone through proper channels. Crucially, the Army did not court‑martial the influencer. He was handed over to civilian police for normal criminal prosecution. That is not military dictatorship; that is constitutional democracy where no one – influencer or general – is above the law. WHY THE CRITICISM IS MISPLACED AND DANGEROUS First, critics confuse “whistleblowing” with “subversion.” A real whistleblower reports specific, verifiable wrongdoing to lawful authorities – Defence Headquarters, Human Rights Commission, or the media with evidence. Justice Crack did none of that. He broadcast unverified, one‑sided narratives meant to make soldiers feel abandoned. In a war zone, that is not transparency; it is psychological warfare. Second, timing is everything. Isolated welfare lapses exist in every army – including the US, UK, and Russia. But during war, amplifying those lapses in real time to combat units hands the enemy a propaganda tool. Terrorist groups already use such posts to claim “the Nigerian Army is starving” or “commanders don’t care,” lowering troop morale and encouraging desertion. Third, the Army acted with restraint. No soldier was shot. No journalist was jailed. The influencer was detained, investigated, and transferred to civilian police – exactly the same process for any civilian who incites factory workers to sabotage production during wartime. Why should the military be held to a lower standard? Fourth, the slippery slope argument cuts both ways. Critics fear any arrest will clamp down on dissent. But the greater risk is inaction: if the military does nothing while influencers systematically undermine command authority, the result will be crumbling discipline, friendly fire, and avoidable deaths. Which is more humane – arresting one influencer for investigation, or allowing a thousand soldiers to die because they lost faith in their leaders? THE HARSH REALITY OF WARTIME MORALE Military psychology is clear: a soldier who believes his nation has abandoned him hesitates. In counter‑insurgency, hesitation kills. The difference between a successful ambush and a fatal one is often split seconds. When a frontline soldier spends his rest time watching a viral video accusing his commander of stealing his meal allowance, trust in the chain of command erodes.

@SeverusChud Jesus is depicted as white and Egyptians as white. Be quiet

I'm sorry, but Nolan casting Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy has completely killed all immersion in this epic for me. Homer’s Odyssey was never some diverse melting pot. Helen was a fair skinned, golden-haired Spartan queen, daughter of Zeus, the ultimate beauty in an epic built by European blood and gods. Yet i'm meant to believe her face was the one who launched a 1,000 ships? It's very sad to see Nolan go down this route. Ancient Greece wasn’t full of Sub Saharans, yet they’re flooding Ithaca with dei and tokenism. This destroys what could’ve been a incredible Epic. Tragic.

@JanetJackson Happy birthday Mama

The Queen of queens turns 96 today. A beautiful soul who has touched so many lives with quiet wisdom, enduring faith, and a love that never falters. May God’s gentle grace surround you today & always, bringing you peace, sweet moments of laughter, and the deep comfort of knowing how very cherished you are. Every year with you is a treasure, and our hearts hold you with the deepest gratitude and love. ♥️ Jackie, I feel so truly fortunate to call you my brother. You are loved far more than words can say, and my prayer for you today is that your heart overflows with peace, love, and joy. ♥️

@chrisidakwo @DD_Geopolitics Because Chinese and issuance companies were the sub connectors. You guys embarrass your so called intelligence by not grasping that. As if dangote hired nigerian experts to build it. It's ok. Foreign firms build major projects in many other countries too. Put you flag down

Firstly, Nigeria has 2 national refineries. Saying Nigeria had no refineries before Dangote refinery is false and misleading! Secondly, the refinery was financed 50% by Dangote and the other 50% by commercial banks - both locally and internationally, and none are Chinese. So, where's this narrative that "China built Dangote's refinery" coming from?

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.

@mrhighfoster So is the movie showing the link between that accident and his use of pain killers?

Pepsi paid Michael Jackson $1.5 million (approximately $4.9 million in 2026 dollars) in an out-of-court settlement following the 1984 commercial accident where his hair caught fire. Michael Jackson donated the entire settlement amount to the Brotman Medical Center in California, which treated his second and third degree burns and subsequently established a burn center in his name.

@Elohim_Gadol You're a charlatan anyway so nothing you claim is taken seriously.

Here's the deal, and it is Biblical. If you cannot get Israel right—if you believe the inhabitants of Israel today are not the real Jews—then I am not your Christian brother. Your form of Christianity is worthless to me because it is not Scripture-based. You are calling my Father God a liar, accusing Him of breaking His own words and lacking the power to return the right people to the land.

@ghanaboynie @Flowfy02 Maybe cos they did it lawfully, without patrolling the streets in mobs beating and killing people. Maybe that's why. I'm sure you knew that but hey

@Flowfy02 So why did they deport Nigerians? What are you even talking about?

Cameroon🇨🇲 deported over 100,000 thousands Nigerians🇳🇬, yet there wasn’t the same level of outrage or accusations of xenophobia. Why does the conversation around xenophobia seem to focus so heavily on South Africa? 🇿🇦 #Africa #SouthAfrica🇿🇦 #Nigeria 🇳🇬 #Ghana #Kenya #Africannews

@Big_Mck You're an anti Obi,pro agbado lubricant lunatic. Biblical archeology is way past your pay grade. Focus on attacking Peter Obi before the God of the bible allows nigeria to happen to you. Go and collect your bag of rice and leave the bible alone

The Bible wants us to believe that about 3 million Israelites (if you count women and children) crossed the Red Sea in one night. That is mathematically impossible. Let’s say they lined up in 20 columns, that will mean 150,000 rows. With that arrangement, crossing the shortest width of the Red Sea (~ 26km) would have taken at least 3 days to complete, assuming they walked non-stop. That story was 100% lie. And if that’s a lie, you now wonder how many other lies are in that book. A lot.

@Russell0123456 @DillyHussain88 Many Nigerians support BH and religious extremism in nigeria. Those who are not will have no problem being questioned about their loyalty with humanity. And if British Nigerians go and fight for BH, they should not be let back into British society then crying victim

@DillyHussain88 Is Dilly & all British Muslims responsible for the actions of Boko Haram, Al Quaeda, ISIS, or the Iranian regime & the human rights abuses in Pakistan? Of course not but if someone does accuse them he screeches Islamophobia. So yes it is racism & antisemitic.

This is why we should ABSOLUTELY question British Jews about Israel’s actions: 90% of them “feel attached” to Israel. 77% of them support Israel. 64% of them identify as Zionists. 2,000 of them joined the IDF since 07/10/23. That’s not “racism”. It’s just straight facts.
