@PeterObi Hmmm! Pele o! no be by force to be president na! You no go understand because no be buy and sell dem dey talk for that level 🤣🤣

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation. During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology: Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved. The list of the entourage included 1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States 2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State 3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence 4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX 5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia 6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple 7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock 8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone 9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing 10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill 11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup 12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric 13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs 14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology 15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm 16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta 17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa 18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard 19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent 20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity. I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom. A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home? Which factories are coming to Nigeria? What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured? How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths? What investments were attracted? What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to? The delegation reportedly included: 1. President Bola Tinubu 2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu 3.12 governors 4.9 ministers 5.7 members of the National Assembly 6. Over 20 senior State House staff 7. Over 30 security personnel 8. Over 10 domestic staff 9. Several supporters and associates It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens. Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty. At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

President Tinubu finished that Kigali Conference. I was super impressed, the Presenter was impressed, and the audience was very impressed. Mr President showed the stuff he's made of. Super electrifying!!!

This has not been a good week for the opposition Nigeria just churning out good news back to back. First the President’s excellent outing in Rwanda Then the S&P ratings upgrade And now, the successful Military cooperation between the US and Nigerian Army Nigeria will succeed.

I don’t get why this tweet got under their skin? RT aggressively to ensure their pains last longer

I asked for 100 RT only 🙆🙆🙆🙆

Why the Killing of Abu-Bilal al-Manuki by U.S. and Nigerian Forces Matters By Zagazola Makama The reported killing of Abu-Bilal al-Manuki, a senior commander of the Islamic State and widely described as the second-in-command of ISIS globally, by joint United States and Nigerian forces may represent one of the most consequential counterterrorism successes recorded in the Lake Chad conflict in recent years. More than the elimination of a high-profile extremist figure, the operation signals a major shift in the evolving war against Islamic State West Africa Province and affiliated jihadist networks operating across Nigeria and the wider Sahel. According to the statement issued by Donald Trump, American forces carried out the operation in coordination with the Nigerian Armed Forces following what he described as a “meticulously planned and very complex mission.” The operation demonstrates a level of intelligence cooperation, surveillance capability and operational coordination rarely acknowledged publicly between Nigeria and the United States in the counterterrorism space. But beyond the symbolism of the strike lies an even deeper implication: Abu-Bilal al-Manuki was not an ordinary field commander. The Man Who Brought ISIS’s New War Doctrine to West Africa Security and intelligence sources familiar with extremist operations in the Lake Chad Basin say al-Manuki arrived in the region alongside nearly 60 foreign fighters dispatched to strengthen ISWAP’s operational structure and battlefield capabilities. These foreign operatives, many believed to possess combat experience from the Middle East and other jihadist theatres, reportedly introduced a new phase of insurgent warfare into Nigeria’s conflict environment. Their arrival coincided with noticeable tactical changes in ISWAP operations, including: increased night assaults on military formations, coordinated raids using mobile attack teams, deployment of armed drones for surveillance and attacks, more sophisticated use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), renewed suicide bombing campaigns, and improved battlefield communication and logistics coordination. Before this evolution, many insurgent attacks in the North-East were largely localized and predictable in pattern. But over time, ISWAP began displaying tactics associated with ISIS operations in Iraq and Syria particularly the use of surprise night attacks designed to overwhelm isolated military positions before reinforcements could arrive. The emergence of armed drones in the conflict was especially alarming for Nigerian security planners. Though relatively crude in deployment, the adaptation reflected an insurgent force learning, evolving and absorbing global jihadist warfare methods. It was believe al-Manuki was central to that transformation. His role reportedly extended beyond battlefield command. He allegedly coordinated international funding channels, strategic communications, training support and doctrinal guidance between ISIS central leadership and ISWAP factions operating across West Africa. Why His Killing Matters The killing of such a figure by U.S. and Nigerian forces carries three major implications. First, it disrupts ISWAP’s command and coordination architecture. Groups like ISWAP survive not merely because of fighters in the field, but because of the strategic networks behind them logistics, recruitment, financing, propaganda and external support systems. Removing a senior coordinator can create confusion, mistrust and operational paralysis within militant ranks. The operation reflects a major intelligence breakthrough. For years, ISWAP’s greatest strength has been its ability to hide within difficult terrain stretching from the Lake Chad islands to the Sambisa forests and the wider Sahel corridor. Successfully locating and eliminating someone of al-Minuki’s profile suggests deep intelligence penetration into networks once considered highly secure. President Trump himself referenced intelligence “sources” that monitored the ISIS commander’s activities. That statement alone will likely trigger internal suspicion within ISWAP circles, where fears of infiltration and betrayal can become deeply destabilising. The operation signals growing international concern over the expansion of ISIS-linked activities in West Africa. The Sahel has increasingly emerged as one of the world’s most active jihadist theatres following instability in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. Western governments now see the region not merely as a local African security issue, but as a transnational threat capable of projecting violence beyond the continent. While the elimination of al-Manuki is significant, it does not mean ISWAP is defeated. The group has repeatedly shown resilience after leadership losses. It has survived internal divisions, sustained airstrikes, territorial offensives and years of military pressure. Its endurance is rooted not only in ideology, but also in deeper structural problems across the region: poverty, unemployment, displacement, porous borders, and limited state presence in remote communities. As long as these conditions persist, extremist groups will continue finding recruitment opportunities. However, the removal of a globally connected strategist like al-Manuki could slow ISWAP’s tactical evolution and temporarily weaken its ability to coordinate sophisticated operations. Perhaps the greatest impact of the operation is psychological. For ISWAP commanders, this is telling them that even the most senior leaders are vulnerable. For Nigerian troops who have spent years fighting a difficult insurgency, it is a morale booster and evidence that sustained pressure is yielding strategic results. For civilians across the North-East, it offers cautious hope that the operational space for extremist leaders is shrinking. And for Nigeria’s counterterrorism campaign, the operation marks a possible transition from attrition warfare toward more intelligence-driven precision targeting of high-value extremist figures. Whether Nigeria can fully exploit this moment will depend on what follows next. Sustained intelligence operations, regional cooperation, stabilisation programmes and community recovery efforts will ultimately determine whether the death of Abu-Bilal al-Manuki becomes merely a symbolic victory or the beginning of a deeper strategic decline for ISWAP in the Lake Chad Basin. *Zagazola is a counter terrorism expert and security analysts in the Lake Chad region

Tinubu : I built Lagos to an enviable height, and Lagos is still following my master plan. Obi : I built "ordered behaviour", when you follow China to Bangladesh, you meet Brazilians there saying they want to come to Nigeria but I told them Nigeria is bad because we have not moved from Togo and our leaders did not like table water, instead of us to be drinking table water together we decided to by fish, as you see me so I don't buy fuel more than once in a week so that others can see file to buy in the filling station, but if China can go back to China and we now move to Mexico Nigeria will be better

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump

@DeeOneAyekooto Make una leave obi alone ooo 😂😂😂

Let's hear what Obi said that Churchill said 😆

@KwankwasoRM You think governance is about carrying out mass weddings and dashing out wheelbarrows.

MY SPEECH AT THE NDC NATIONAL CONVENTION 09 MAY 2026 FCT, ABUJA Fellow Nigerians, It is with immense pleasure and a deep sense of fulfilment that I address you today on this historic occasion of the National Convention of our great party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), in Abuja. Since we joined this party, together with numerous stakeholders, millions of supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians, the NDC has continued to attract quality members and ignite enthusiastic conversations among citizens and observers both at home and abroad. What began as a bold movement is steadily becoming a formidable platform for national renewal. Ladies and Gentlemen, Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads. The world is undergoing a profound geopolitical shift, yet our nation has been caught unprepared, largely because of poor leadership. Instead of positioning Nigeria to seize emerging opportunities, bad governance has left us bearing the brunt of global changes. We are witnessing a sharp decline in the quality of life. Insecurity has created widows and orphans across the land. Millions have been displaced from their homes. Investments are fleeing, critical infrastructure is neglected, the education system is collapsing, and harsh economic policies have been imposed on citizens without meaningful safety nets or relief. Yet Nigeria’s history teaches us that in our most challenging moments, visionary alliances have provided the way forward. In 1954, a historic partnership was formed between the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), led by Aminu Kano and the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), led by Nnamdi Azikiwe to achieve national unity. Again, in 1960, against steep odds, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe’s National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) formed a coalition with the Northern People’s Congress (NPC) to birth our independence. In the Second Republic, the alliance between Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme under the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) helped restore civilian rule and national unity after years of military dictatorship. It is therefore with great sense of unity and solidarity, that as a loyal party member, I support the decision to zone the presidential ticket of the NDC to the South, so that it allows the region to complete its turn in producing national leadership. This represents a true opportunity for true national healing. We shall work in abidance with the party’s agreement to ensure fairness and federal character in all ramifications. This party shall also ensure to change the way things are done today by prioritising leadership without ethnic jingoism and religious favouritism. The leadership standard we shall set will therefore restore Nigeria’s dignity and will guarantee that our citizens at home and the diaspora will be treated with respect and dignity. Lastly, we can only achieve that by continuing to mobilise to register with INEC to vote, and the NDC to belong to this noble cause. Please register, today. Thank you. Long Live the Nigeria Democratic Congress! Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Governor, Kano State

@EYakoby When the tide turns against Hezbollah in Lebanon they will bring out their last card " terrorism" it's either they have it or nobody else,we know the playbook.

BREAKING: On Lebanese television, a Lebanese citizen tells off a Hezbollah supporter to his face. “Elon Musk takes his family to Mars every weekend while you’re carrying Katyusha rockets.” There is a massive shift happening in Lebanon.

@iamHSDickson After elections,I wan check something!

Today, in the company of our party officials, I received the former Deputy Governor of Gombe State, His Excellency John Yoriyo, alongside his delegation, who formally joined the NDC and pledged their support for our vision and movement. I was also pleased to receive Hon. Charity Iguodalo Aiguobarueghian, the Minority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, together with a large delegation of Assembly members from Edo State. Notably among them was Hon. Natasha Osawaru-Idibia, accompanied by her husband, the renowned musical icon Innocent Idibia (2Baba), who paid a courtesy visit to declare their support for the NDC and formally join the party. Other political figures whom I had earlier received, but had the pleasure of formally presenting with our party membership cards on this occasion, symbolising their full integration into the party, included High Chief Peter Ojemen (Don P), the Okodalo of Esanland from Edo State, Dr. Aisha Yesufu, and many others. I urged them all to remain steadfast and committed to supporting and building the NDC as we continue to offer Nigerians a credible and people-oriented political alternative. I thank Nigerians across the country for their continued support, confidence, and prayers. The NDC remains the main opposition party in the current political landscape of our country, and we welcome all Nigerians, irrespective of previous political affiliations, to join and support this growing national movement. NDC, service to the people! ~HSD

@sayekeen @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation Private investment cannot come when there's no hope for return of investment. Football is all about fanatic fans support when that is lacking marketability becomes an illusion.

@MichaelOsara @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation Yes! One of the important thing is for private citizens to invest and the government to provide policy guidelines to protect their investment to make it lucrative and sustainable.

Dear @KokunFoundation A gentle reminder to you and other Assnal supporters: coming close and bottling it is not the same as actually winning the Champions League. Real Madrid is the greatest football team in history. 15 Champions League trophies. On the other hand, Assnal, the London bottlers, have reached just one Champions League final in their entire history and haven't won the Premier League in over two decades. We will remind you again on the 31st of May, 2026. While at it, keep your environment clean, especially your dirty Emirate stadium. TW

@Onsogbu I stopped watching the moment he said he voted because of religion, you can't accuse another for what you are guilty of ..mchheew!

Peter Obi supporters know that Peter Obi will remain an abysmal failure....

@sayekeen @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation The problem is how do we compete with our supporting and investing in our own?look at what we are doing with our music and cinema,we can do it with football too it only needs will and total support from us all . That's the greater picture.

@MichaelOsara @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation Leave that one, my brother. What about foreign owning foreign teams. Dangote wanted to by Arsenal one time. Many big and royals from Dubai own clubs across the world. Sport unite the world. Meanwhile, it doesn't stop us from developing ours.

@000BIG77 @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation Deep thinkers comprehend,small minds insults.

@MichaelOsara @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation E no go better for you

@000BIG77 @tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation Deep thinkers comprehend ,small mind insults.

@tokunbo_wahab @KokunFoundation check me if I am wrong, they support and build their local teams passionately and their league is better for it.We should do better.
