The return of Papa Benji

An American aircraft was shot down in Iran and one of the crew members was declared missing. The American government deployed its military strength and rescued that missing personnel. In nigeria, a brigadier general sent his location to the army while he was fighting terrorists, his location was leaked to the terrorists who found him and slaughtered him, parading pictures of his corpse like a dead dog. A whole brigadier general. Today the same Nigerian army is referring to those barbaric terrorists as “clients” and government officials are calling them their “brothers”. What a shameful disgrace. cbsnews.com/news/missing-u…

Retweet massively. Don’t say anything. 💪💪

@tosinolaseinde Leave our Lagos alone! Go back to Anambra! Abi Kwara! Or Osun!

An active Senator threatened to shoot one of the nation's respected Journalists. He didn't make the threat in the confines of his room, he made that threat to fellow journalists of that Journalist, on national TV. They were all giggling. See this country ehn.

I've been trying to stay away from politics Twitter, at least for 2 weeks but all these takes are beginning to annoy me. How is this even argument? Bola? Tinubu is 10 times worse than Abacha, 100 times worse than Buhari - and those two are absolute demons.

Leadership Without Compassion is Not Leadership During his visit to Benue State in June 2025, Bola Ahmed Tinubu stopped at the Government House but did not go to the actual scene where innocent Nigerians lost their lives. Similarly, yesterday in Jos, his engagement ended at the airport instead of at the affected communities. What happened in Plateau yesterday highlights a complete absence of leadership. True leadership requires presence, empathy, compassion, and a willingness to meet people where their pain truly lies. For citizens who have just lost loved ones, homes, and their sense of safety, being addressed from an airport tarmac is profoundly inadequate. This approach exacerbates the sense of abandonment already felt by innocent Nigerians who have endured repeated cycles of violence without meaningful protection or justice. Plateau deserves more than distant words; it requires urgent action and a clear commitment to ending the insecurity that continues to claim innocent lives. In such moments, leadership must not only be visible but also tangible—standing with victims, listening to survivors, and acknowledging the depth of their grief. If we truly desire a better Nigeria, we must demand leadership that is present, responsive, and responsible at all times. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

What exactly is the outrage over Obi's remark on NADECO figures who have since turned their backs on the very ideals they once championed? Where is the falsehood in pointing out that some who once wore the badge of democracy now act with unmistakable autocratic instincts?

I put together 1000 Reasons Why You should not Vote for Tinubu in the next election. 1000-reasons.vercel.app Good morning Nigerians.

Tinubu in Jos Confirms ‘Don't Vote for Me’ Prediction on Power Supply During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.” When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans. In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it. Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders—those lacking the capacity and compassion—who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@ManshakLawson Everything other Nigerians accuse igbos of... Most times it's their tribe that are far more guilty of those things

Jos North belongs to Anaguta, Afizere, and Berom. Any other person is settler.

The British built Jos from Anaguta, Afizere and Berom land I keep saying we are lucky in the Middle Belt that these land grabbers are illiterates or we would have suffered! British split Jos into two: Jos Township and Jos Native town but left a section of the bulk of native lands Township was for Europeans & other skilled migrants, while Jos native town was for migrants like Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc The third part remained reserved for the indigenes who were majority What is strange in this dynamic is that despite Igbos, Yorubas, the Hausa and Fulani coming around the same time and staying in those residential areas created by the British, only the Hausa and Fulani want to use it as a medium to claim ownership of the lands of the indigenes None of the others are attempting to do such What the British did was to ask the Emir of Bauchi to appoint a Chief Laborer for the Hausa and Fulani labor camp However those settlers eventually tried to elevate a Chief Laborer to have authority beyond the mining camps and to include the indigenes - the British rejected this This is evidenced in 1921, these settlers asked to be placed to rule over the natives in the 1921 Provincial Report and even the British rejected it It shows that they have always been land grabbers. Their descendants are only doing what their ancestors had always tried but failed to do What they won’t tell you is that, the Bulk of the Hausa and Fulani settlers came in the 80s - in a second wave, after the establishment of the University of Jos and settled on University of Jos land illegally, (which is why their primarily settlements are littered around the University of Jos environment Despite them clearly knowing this, many of them claim to be part of the original 2000 initial laborers who came from Bauchi, Kano etc to work as laborers to the British (everyone is now a laborer - because they want to grab lands) The Plateau people have been peaceful and have always handled their expansionism peacefully In 1987, the tensions grew sharper in 1987, when Alhaji Saleh Hassan, a well-known Hausa politician, openly called on Hausa and Fulani youth (who call themselves Jasawa) to “recover” the Jos chieftaincy as their rightful inheritance. That debate of wanting to rule the natives was reignited In 1991, the settlers wrote Ibrahim Babangida (a self professed Hausa man whose father migrated from Sokoto in his recent biography) to create a local government specifically for them Ibrahim Babangida created Jos North Local Government Area, drawing boundaries that favored Hausa settlements. For the indigenous groups, this looked like a deliberate attempt to hand the political heart of Jos to the settlers. Matters escalated in April 1994, when the military administrator of Plateau State Col Muhammed Mana imposed Alhaji Aminu Mato a Hausa, as caretaker chairman of Jos North. Indigenous groups protested, and the appointment was suspended, but soon after, Jasawa youths launched riots The Jasawa were hurt and decided to take the law into their own hands a few days later as they went on a rampage, killing, maiming, burning, looting, and causing unquantified havoc. From that moment, Jos North became the flashpoint of recurring violence. The cycle of conflict did not stop. In 1996, violence flared again near Jos Central Mosque after the killing of Azi Chai, a young Afizere man, during an election dispute by Hausa settlers. The next big riot followed in 1998 when Mukhtar Muhammad, another politician, identified as Hausa but admitted to be Kanuri at the commission of inquiry, was imposed again as chairman of Jos North but forced to step down after allegations of falsified credentials. Yet in August 2001, he resurfaced again as Poverty Eradication Coordinator, a highly sensitive and lucrative post. To indigenes, this was a provocative imposition; but to the Hausa community, it was a triumph.

@Real1_balogun @ManLikeAkoh This is why I always laugh at modern doctors that say stop treating typhoid in Nigeria. There's rat, monkey & human shit contaminating things you can't even imagine possible. The way we handle food in this country is atrocious

Michael Carrick wrote about this experience in his book, ‘Between the Lines’. It wasn't a nice narration. He wrote about how difficult a footballer’s life is and how that trip wasn't convenient for many of them. His description of Nigeria and Abuja in that book was scathing. He wrote about some Policemen breaking a photographer’s camera and beating him for taking a picture of them. He said he yelled after them. “They grabbed him, jabbed him in the ribs and dragged him round the back of the hotel. ‘Whoa, what’s up? It’s only a picture. We never saw him again. It was all a bit over the top,” he wrote. In another paragraph, his words were; “the whole experience in Abuja was like being trapped in a horror film”. Read his conclusion; “The trip lasted only 16 hours, but Abuja’s effects lasted longer. I vomited for a week, but some lads had it far worse. They were so sick that United sent a sample off to some university and, I’m not kidding, they found monkey and rat shit in the sample. The university docs said they’d never seen anything like it before. So, no, I won’t remember Abuja happily and I can’t imagine the other lads will either. Those are the type of souvenirs you don’t want to bring back from tours abroad.” It was the last time any big team was in Nigeria. Eighteen years ago. We will learn one way or the other.

There’s a man on the wing! 🦅

Apparently residents of Angwan rukuba thought it was NDLEA when they saw the terrorist wielding guns at first,so people didn’t take cover immediately, cos NDLEA usually come to that area shooting guns in the air @ndlea_nigeria why are you shooting guns in residential areas fgs!

My account is getting completely suppressed by Nigerian Islamists for sharing the persecution of Christians. They're mass reporting me. Ridiculous.
