You're the one to return to school! If only you knew! The singular noun of Dice is Die! So it is, The DIE is cast!

Go school to know when to use the right word in the topic you say no.

The right word to use in the context of this topic heading is dice not die.

Look at how you have embarrassed all your ancestors on nairaland

Btw, English isn't our first language and shouldn't be a measure for intelligence.

That is myopic of the author. When Buhari closed the borders and partially opened the Northern states own it wasn't a big problem rt? It was ECOWAS decision not Tinubu decision instead of the Northerners elites to put pressure on the coup plotters they are blaming our President. The northern soldiers can kill the Southerners no problem but can't do the same with foreigners Niger because of the blood related. I now understood the secret behind the Bokoharam better.

Shut Up Man and stop trying to educate those who know more than you.

Ipob must wail......it is in their blood.
Emergency lovers of Nigeria....want to rule Nigeria. Ipob miscreants should leave the zoo alone.
Jokers.
Noise Makers.

I don't believe that we'll attack Niger. It's not just a Northern matter. It will affect all of us. It just doesn't make any sense. The days of ECOMOG are over. We have more than enough problems of our own to tackle. Our sons/ brothers in the military should not be made to carry a burden beyond their limit. Sanctions and diplomacy will work over time. Still, we should remember that Niger will dam River Niger for electricity that we're denying them now. God help us all.

Hogwash from the usual northern hawks.........to them northern arewa interests is the same thing as Nigeria@national? interests.......I may not like the underhand manner Tinubu came ro power but his policies are correct ones ,though I feel he should have prepared the masses better! His defence and security appointments are by and large fair......unlike the clown from Daura ,who thinks and acts like fulanis make up 90% of naija population!

The ecowas threat of intervention is hasty and also wrong in the sense that Nigeria will just fritter away subsidy removal savings on an adventure which does not concern us..........whu should our soldiers die for western interests! If france wants to fight Niger...let them go ahead and go fight!

Threatening Tinubu solely cos Northern Nigeria interests maybe compromised is careless and arrogant talk, so what if northern interests are affected !...........

I don talk b4, Tinubu is doing this becos it won't affect his region.

France is pushing him to regain their lost colony.
Watch this video and see how the French exploit Africa.

The video above shows that France is simply fighting for it cheap resource in Niger.

Very good and bizarre speech from this beautiful woman that exposed the greediness of France.

If these disagreements intensify, it is not just remote places of worship or deserted night-time motorways in the North that will bear the brunt. The war could very well be at our doorsteps across the country. It will be touching our daily lives, affecting our cities, and spilling over into our living rooms. Targets would not be confined to battlegrounds; they could extend to our crucial infrastructure — dams, airports, bridges, schools, hospitals, and government edifices.

A direct threat to escalate persecution of certain worshipper and expand violence.

The empty vessels always make the loudest noise, you think the topic is talking about uncertainty or a six side cube or cubes with numbers 1-6?

Playing Die in this topic is going to a war you will obviously get defeated but still you want to be brave enough to go (American English).

Obviously the Northern Nigerian will suffer if Nigeria goes to war with Niger as it stands but still The President wants to go ahead.

I am sure you will be too dumb to understand.

Anything to reduce the northern population is allowed.

Their unbridled breeding is pulling down our gdp. If only they could be added to niger.

Do you know the concept of how metaphors work as figures of speech? maybe nah there your problem take start from

Angelfrost:


1. Completely sanitize the electoral body. Partially 'uncorrupt' that so-called independent commission by making its top leadership by general consensus across citizenry rather than via selection/appointment. The same should go for CBN and AGN positions.

2. It goes without saying that the current 1999 Constitution has to be reworked to suit a nation destined for unity and progress.

3. A successful number 2 above should pave way for the overdue "Decentralization of Government" for better statewide and regional leadership and focus.

These should be foundational for every other intended progress of this nation... The failure of the above means the nation will never make any serious progress. NEVER!!!

Which of these can you do without a president who is reform oriented and ready to set Nigeria on the right path?

Which?

You are deluded, I won't answer you any further.

Some of these writers paint not as a people that can't stand alone without being favoured by government policies, probably, why they always want to be in power.

Why war is not the best option and that our politicians must strive to rule well with sound policies, fairness and justice, we must realize that Nigeria is neither north, south, east and west but an amalgamation of all.

MASTAkiLLAh:
I really don't blame or envy the president right now. Anyone seeing the bigger picture with the privileged information he has would most likely have done almost the same if not the same thing. Could it have been handled better ? Maybe but one thing we shouldn't forget is that there's big trouble at our northern doorsteps and we have to be ready to confront it

this is an ecowas issue which Nigeria is part of.. so all these Northerners should shut it up with their nonsense pride and baseless threats... It's not Nigeria that took action against Niger but ecowas

Please Tinubu, don't listen to the northern crocodile tears, go ahead with the war with Niger so that our population will reduce.

Penguin2:

Absolutely none... Which is why some of us have since turned cynical about the chances of democracy actually succeeding in Nigeria, and most parts of this continent.

Go school to know the difference Una say no!

It's you who should actually go to school. The plural of die is dice. One is die. Haven't you heard of the expression, "the die is cast" or "to cast the die"?

Racoon:
The balabloo-blu-bulava itchy and twitchy nerves to invade Niger Republic and thereby violates its sovereignty will never be taken lightly by the northerners who are not scared of the collateral damage effect but simply because of the strong family and socio-cultural links many of them have to that nation.

And that explains why buhari closed all southern borders but left Niger and chad border open , claiming they’re his cousins

You need to read wide and don't always rush to make comments so as not to make a fool of yourself.

"Dice" is the plural of an object "die". Try to know different contexts words can be used

@MASTAkiLLAh, it's a dilemma Nigeria has to face and deal with squarely. We can't shy away from it.

The writer is obviously pro-north. It smacks of his bias for the north.

Yesterday, someone posited that a counter coup could happen in Niger. I found it very interesting. Now, if that happens and Niger is plunged into deep political crisis, creating a humanitarian crisis with the movement of refugees, where do we think they would naturally to turn? Nigeria, of course.
Can we now see how it concerns us. We cannot simply stay aloof.


The comparison he drew with Margaret Thatcher and Tinubu is fundamentally flawed. Thatcher was already on her first term, with waning popularity, while Tinubu is just starting his tenure.


Thatcher was trying to save her tenure and win another term. Tinubu is a man getting to work as the head of a regional bloc with zero tolerance for political banditry.


People also forget that Africa is the centrepiece of Nigeria's foreign policy.

If Nigeria stands aloof, as many ill-educated and ill-informed want, Africa will be seized by internal and external deviants.

Angelfrost:
If he invades, he has fvcked up (The North will collectively rise against him)... If he doesn't invade, he has fvcked up (He will look weak).

Mr. President is in an unenviable position/dilemma right now.

This is why he should never have been hasty to react to the whole Coup issue... He should have simply sat back and observed a bit. Life should not always be gra gra.

Same thing with some of the 'great' policies since he assumed office... So much haste, so little planning and almost zero foresight and feasibility.

Why is he always in a hurry to act and react??! Who exactly is he trying to please??! Certainly not most Nigerians.

He needs to watch it... Seriously.

Na Igbo they worry him

Of all the things he said you picked nothing, the only thing you did was correct someone who is greater than you and your ancestors combine.
By the way his contest was right.
Tinubu is playing die with the north, it is Tinubu one person playing die with the north one entity.
Onye ala

No war has been declared so far, and no war would be declared at the end. So war alarmists should sheath their swords.

Moreover the North had been having a lively time with Buhari for the last 8 years, with the economic taps switched on towards their direction, and they have fed themselves with bloated tummies. So now that they are facing what the South has been facing all along, they should minimise their complaints.

Let us all endure it for some time more, and see how it will ends.
