@DHQNigeria So far, what has been done to curb the suffering of front line officers apart from arresting the few who dare to complain ? Because there is this issue of soldiers buying protective gears themselves and their food tastes like crap coupled with poor salary...the list is long sir

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.

Kwankwaso will never be loyal, submissive, or controlled by Peter Obi because he is known for being selfish and showing off his ego.
Yesterday, during their defection to the NDC, Kwankwaso displayed some traits that prove he can never be loyal.
He is too eager to be in charge of everything. He always wants to lead without building anything.
Kwankwaso’s desperate desire to lead everything has made him remain in the NNPP as the national leader, till his contracted defections come in to play.
Obi will find it difficult to work with Kwankwaso, especially as he plans to pick him as a running mate.

Once NDC concludes on conducting direct primary elections, PO will automatically become partyless. He is afraid of primaries, and the Kano man is positioning himself for that advantage. As people in Kano are joining NDC en masse, those in the South East are aligning with LP.
Once he sees a low turnout and realizes he can’t compete in the primaries, he will release another long epistle explaining why he chose to become partyless.

You are a compound fool and an idiot!
Atiku and Tinubu are ten times richer than Obi.
Obi is doing himself, Margaret, Oseloka and Nwamaka a favor, not you. not me. U

@MasterBolaji You people should focus on other contestants and leave peter obi alone na...anybody that wants engagement will just look for something to say about peter obi...at this rate many of you will d!e of heart attack before elections.

Tinubu has about 31 governors, around 87 of 109 senators, and 261 of 360 House members in his pocket, and he won’t win the election.
But Peter Obi will win because he has Kwankwaso, Binani, and Aisha Yesufu?
Haba na!

I want to tell you the bitter truth from the long post that Peter Obi made yesterday and the reason why he is leaving ADC. The truth is that Obi is a coward, a man who does not face challenges head-on. The problem in ADC is too small compared to the problems of the nation he wants to lead. This is a simple testament that he would abandon his responsibilities and then blame the entire country for it.
He is a man who was overhyped and, unfortunately for him, is not meeting expectations. Only those with low understanding, those who take a long time to process reality, will keep holding on to what they were told, regardless of how events have changed. Only such people still believe in him. Those who are more discerning have seen him for who he is and have left the sinking ship.

@U_Rochas You people have found new grounds to stand on...you come out and do your own

@Commyhot1 @PeterObi Please tell us your preferred candidate. That's how to do things rightly

"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC."
Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian.
As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading.
Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain.
I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party.
As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer.
Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion.
Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope.
I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation.
I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right.
A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO

We told you so. The political nomad is on the move again. Ignore all those puerile reasons he gave in these illogical musings, a self-serving letter to his mob. Peter Obi is a politician made of jelly, an opportunistic fellow. He can't fight Atiku or Amaechi for the ticket of ADC. He pursues the easy road, that will only lead him to doom, like in 2023. He always blames the government without doing a soul-searching of himself. Welcome, Peter to the 2027 race.

Fellow Nigerians, good morning. I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you. Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances. We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal. More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism. We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power. Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise. Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them. However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building. Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated. And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions. There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline? Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@EmmanuelLarbie1 @LordVinci21 When u have been attacked too much, u will naturally move with ur guard up...that is the attitude people are showing to the police.

my humble opinion is what are citizens doing to help the country grow in terms of conflict resolution

@EmmanuelLarbie1 @LordVinci21 My simple question is, if police didn't have gun would they be quick to want to slap someone ? Because most times before any slight provocation they reach for their weapon and sometimes you get to wonder why so fast.

@LordVinci21 In the line of duty officers need to behave civil
In the line of service citizens should mind how they talk to officers they are human beings too

Politically, Nigeria is more stable, sane, and safer than the United States. Imagine someone attempting to use a gun on the President, the highest political authority in 2026. What a shame! You can’t even point a gun at a local government chairman here, let alone the President.

@Mr_JAGs So by your analysis, he is plunging the country into debt to remove the states from debt right ?...noted
English
One of the reasons Governors are very big on the P-BAT project, the removal of subsidy has increased allocations to State generally and a lot of States have paid their debts and they also have room to do more for the people.
Tony Ajah@tonyajah
JUST IN: Governor Otti moved Abia’s debt profile from ₦191.2 billion to ₦48.4 billion by paying a staggering sum of ₦142 billion in less than 3 years in office, yet with all the work he’s doing, he hasn’t borrowed a dime. Good governance is not rocket science. You either know what you are doing, or you are busy stealing and lying.
