  1. 😂😂😂 Hon Bolaji, wat do you mean by that statement. ' depends on where you are standing ? 😂 Are you trying to say that the bald head guy pockets might have been corned? If he is looking at it standing by the other side? 😮

  2. ADC will slide into irrelevance just like PDP if it fails to either reach a clear consensus around Peter Obi or decisively zone its presidential ticket to the South. Any attempt to smuggle Atiku Abubakar through the backdoor under the guise of “free and fair primaries” will mark the beginning of the end for ADC.

    The reality is simple and brutal: millions of Peter Obi’s supporters will not participate in that deception. The resulting voter apathy will hand Bola Ahmed Tinubu an easy second term. That outcome will not be because Tinubu is unbeatable, but because ADC chose political games over political wisdom.
    The party needs to read the national mood, stop recycling failed strategies, and face the truth.

    Nigeria’s current political climate leaves ADC only one credible path to victory is to field Peter Obi as its presidential candidate and anything short of that is self-sabotage. Do that, and Tinubu becomes beatable. Ignore it, and ADC will join Peoples Democratic Party in political decline that is loud in history but irrelevant in power.

  3. Nigeria is showing signs of a slow disintegration many people might not notice it,but all indicators are there for all to see,the infrastructure is not there,politicians are now demigods wielding more influence than the state itself,Nigeria can't control it's territory,the currency has no value people are been killed in their hundreds across Nigeria every now and then.When a collapse is mentioned people tend to think that it comes overnight,but it is a gradual process that takes decades or hundreds of years for empires,but eventually the outcome is always the same a slow disintegration due to corruption,mismanagement,neglect,irresponsibility,lack of strategy and self interest.

  4. These people have plan for this country to move forward , all Momodu and Abdullahi are interented on is still the old order , Atiku is their candidate but their candidate is corrupt and very old to cry out loud cant they advice him rather than jeering him up to continue , no he is coming to steal and sleep and share our resources hand by hand like the PDP did .

  5. Nigeria’s current challenges demand selfless leadership rather than personality-driven ambition. At this critical juncture, leadership must be defined not by electoral urgency or symbolic gestures, but by the capacity to make difficult decisions in the enduring interest of the state.
    Peter Obi’s pledge to serve only a single term, while rhetorically appealing to some, is better interpreted as evidence of an intense fixation on attaining power rather than a coherent long-term governance strategy. In a country facing deep structural economic and institutional challenges, such a commitment raises legitimate concerns about policy continuity, reform consolidation, and the sustainability of governance beyond personal ambition. Nigeria’s problems are not one-term problems; they require steady, long-horizon leadership.
    Effective national leadership requires the willingness to take politically costly but economically necessary decisions. Economic stabilization, fiscal reform, and institutional rebuilding are rarely achieved through populism or moral posturing. They demand discipline, sacrifice, and political courage—qualities demonstrated through action rather than rhetoric.
    The central critique of Peter Obi’s political conduct is that it reflects a leadership style more focused on electoral positioning and personal ambition than on the difficult governance trade-offs required to manage a fragile, reforming economy. Nigeria’s economic crisis—characterized by years of unsustainable subsidies, weak revenue mobilization, currency distortions, and structural inefficiencies—demands leaders prepared to absorb political backlash in order to secure national survival.
    By contrast, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated a willingness to confront entrenched structural problems directly. The removal of fuel subsidies, exchange-rate reforms, and tax restructuring were not popular decisions, but they were necessary to prevent long-term economic collapse. These reforms reflect a steady hand—leadership grounded in experience, institutional understanding, and acceptance of political cost in service of national interest.
    History consistently shows that countries emerging from economic distress are stabilized not by leaders seeking applause, but by those willing to implement hard, corrective policies—even at personal or political expense. Leadership is therefore not defined by intent, symbolism, or moral claims alone, but by the capacity to act decisively when delay or indecision would deepen national decline.
    At this stage in Nigeria’s development, the nation does not need leaders driven by urgency to win power. It needs leaders prepared to carry the burden of reform, prioritize national interest over personal ambition, and commit to long-term economic recovery rather than short-term political gain.
    In sum, Nigeria’s recovery requires selflessness over self-promotion, responsibility over rhetoric, and courage over convenience.

  6. Calling Nigeria’s diplomatic restraint “weakness” shows ignorance of how foreign policy works. Nigeria is a non-aligned state that intervenes only when its direct national interest is at stake—not to satisfy opposition noise or social-media outrage.
    Silence in diplomacy is often strategic, not submissive. Nigeria has no obligation to publicly condemn or confront the United States over incidents that do not threaten Nigeria’s sovereignty, citizens, or regional security. Foreign policy is guided by national interest, not performative activism.
    Nigeria also maintains a strategic and longstanding relationship with the United States, particularly under President Donald Trump’s administration—spanning security cooperation, counterterrorism, trade, and diplomatic coordination. That partnership matters. No serious country sacrifices vital bilateral relations for political grandstanding.
    Let’s be clear: no external issue supersedes Nigeria’s direct coordination and collaboration with the United States when it comes to national security, economic stability, and global standing. Mature nations act with calculation, not emotion.
    This is not weakness. This is statecraft.

  7. All of you are requesting the US to help Nigeria and you still want your country to stand against the same country action. This opposition think they are relating with a baby politicians. 2027 will be an eye opener for them.

  8. We have corrupt leaders, Trump will destroy them in minutes. They can't speak against America. When you have a corrupt political class they become weak in world affairs, they would stay silent to protect their stolen wealth. They have no voice because they made their country weak and their people poor.

  9. Leaders of weak nations are realizing that they are also weak. Maybe this will teach useless African leaders to prioritise our growth instead of stealing money.

  10. What is our problem with Venezuela, you people wants to add to Nigeria problem. India, France, South Africa,Germany, Japan, Canada, Brazil did not talk, So Nigeria should be the one to face Trump. Abeg, leave us alone. Yes, we don't have confident, leave us alone.

  11. Nigeria , Tinubu is Trump USA lap dog. Silence, hupocrite and complicit. Af4ica is quite or silent following Maduro illegal or unlawfully kidnapping. They r so fearful of Trump and scared to condenm the trampling and eroding of international law and disrespect of sovereignty. Our African leaders are cowards, puppets and lap dogs. Th3y cant hardly support and stanf with ome voice incondemning Trump and his administration. The hypocricy and complicit is shameful and disgraceful. Africa, will never be emanciated or free from Trump , they will always beg, shiver, and hide,; instead of standing up for the rule of law , freedom, and sovereignty. Its a dusgrace.

  12. This interview is nonsense—highly instigating and driven by propaganda. Of all the things the current administration has gotten wrong, choosing to antagonise governments over silence while the sovereignty of weak oil-rich nations is being openly trampled upon is deeply disingenuous.
