The caption is misleading:;

The trucks are manufactured in China and are heading to the Port for export to Nigeria.

Just wondering why we can't produce these trucks here (head and body) or at least the body, we have the capacity; what happened to local content?

Possible Reason

While he squatted same friend, he would have also mistreated him badly and he had to endure the mistreatment. Some friends are terrible. When u start cohabiting with them, that's when you will know their true colors. I am speaking from experience. I was once squatted by a friend for two months and I saw Shege Banza in his house. He would text me to delay my coming home from work because he is Knacking a woman at home. Sometimes he will even preinform me to look for somewhere else to pass the night since his woman would be coming to sleep over for two or three days.
Na me go sweep, mop and fetch water. And I'm even five years older than him o. The day I finally got my own place, I had a relief. But I remain grateful to him.
It's well

Even if you want to do copy and paste, comprehend and reason it logically.

We read daily about development news in Nigeria, just today, a random Nigerian was selected for one of the Federal government job. Una can never see all those.

Those that have been shortlisted for this new FG job, would you tell them that this government hasn't done a thing without receiving a dirty slap?

Nnamdi Kanu’s case is a reflection of deep-rooted issues in Nigeria that haven’t been meaningfully addressed since the end of the Biafran War. You have decades of political marginalization, underdevelopment in the southeast, ethnic tension, and a real sense among many Igbo people that they’re not truly part of the national project. Kanu tapped into that frustration and gave it a loud, unapologetic voice.

That said, his approach has been risky and polarizing. His rhetoric—especially when it got inflammatory or crossed into openly confrontational territory—made it easier for the Nigerian government to crack down hard. The government's response, especially the way he was re-arrested (essentially extradited without due process), has only escalated things. It’s turned him into a kind of symbol—either a hero or a dangerous agitator, depending on who you ask.

In truth, both the state and Kanu have handled things in ways that pushed dialogue off the table. IPOB’s labeling as a terrorist organization, despite being largely non-violent in practice, makes meaningful negotiation harder. But the government’s heavy-handedness isn’t solving the problem either. It’s only reinforcing the sense of injustice that fuels separatist thinking in the first place.

So, here’s the bottom line: Kanu isn’t perfect, and some of his tactics have hurt his cause, but he’s not the root problem. He’s a symptom of a broken system—one that still hasn’t figured out how to deal with ethnic diversity, fair governance, and historical wounds. Until Nigeria addresses those core issues, there will always be more Nnamdi Kanus.

This is what it meant

You dey work. Every month, dem dey collect tax from your salary.

Before before, government go first remove:
₦200k or 1% of your salary (whichever better)
Then again remove 20% of your full salary
Na the remaining balance dem go tax.

So you dey pay small tax, chop better balance.

But now...
Government change am.
No more that ₦200k + 20% removal 😢
Instead, dem say:

“We go only remove 20% of your house rent before we tax you — but max we fit remove is ₦500k.”
So if your rent na ₦1 million → 20% = ₦200k (that’s your relief)
If your rent na ₦3 million → 20% = ₦600k, but they’ll only allow ₦500k max

Real Life Gist: Let’s say John earns ₦6 million a year, and he dey pay ₦1 million rent:

Before:
Government remove ₦1.2 million (relief)
Dem tax am on ₦4.8 million
John pay ₦896k as tax

Now:
Only ₦200k removed (20% of his rent)
Dem tax am on ₦5.8 million
John pay ₦834k as tax
John now pays ₦62k less tax — small gain!
Who this new system favour?

People wey:
Earn small money
Pay rent

People wey:
Earn big money (₦25m and above) go pay more tax now
Own their own house — dem no get any benefit at all 😐
Small good news:
First ₦800,000 you earn in one year — no tax at all. Government say make you chop am in peace.

Final Talk:
Government remove that old tax formula wey sweet.
Now na only your rent dem go use help you reduce tax — and only ₦500k max.
So, if you dey rent house and earn small, you go smile small.
But if you earn big or get your own house — wahala for you o 😅

Master no be master oo,there's level to this thing oo. There's a reason why the riches chose some certain schools to attend despite their wealth, even though they might not make use of that certificates but they dare not go to anyhow schools.

TUANKU:
Many companies will employ you without a degree and a certification. With a good portfolio and reputation on BugCrowd, Intigriti or HackerOne is enough to land you a good job with a company as has happened many times.
eJPT from INE is also an entry level certification in Cyber Security, CISCO, Google,GIAC,HTB, THM etc also offer entry level certifications which are recognized worldwide so those you listed are not the only entry level certifications.

This is a very good post, this kind of post should always make front page.

You don’t have to have a degree or years of experience to enter the cybersecurity space. If you have a basic knowledge and understanding of IT and certification, you can transition into roles like Security Engineer, Consultant, Auditor, or even CISO.

What would be the potential economic, social, and political implications if the Igbo people across Nigeria and the diaspora decided to boycott all products and services of companies headquartered in Lagos this is including schools, churches, FMCGs, fintechs, and other institutions as a form of protest against perceived bigotry and actions like the renaming of streets? How might such a boycott unfold, and what are the possible consequences for both sides?


A mass Igbo boycott of Lagos-headquartered companies would be a seismic move with far-reaching economic, social, and political consequences. Here's a breakdown of how such a boycott could play out:

Economic Implications
For Lagos-based Companies:

Revenue Disruption: Igbo consumers form a major part of Nigeria’s consumer economy, particularly in the southeast and south-south regions. FMCG companies (e.g., Nestlé, Unilever), fintechs (e.g., Paystack, Flutterwave), and telecoms would likely experience significant revenue shortfalls.

Supply Chain Strain: Many Igbos dominate distribution and retail logistics. A disruption in these networks could paralyze product movement in the east and beyond.

Brand Damage: Accusations of enabling or being complicit in ethnic bias could hurt long-term brand equity, especially in an increasingly woke, social media-driven landscape.

For the Igbo Community:

Short-term Inconvenience: Alternatives to dominant Lagos-based companies may be limited, especially in fintech, telecom, and education sectors.

Shift Toward Indigenous Innovation: Over time, this boycott could accelerate the growth of Igbo-owned brands, startups, and services, creating a parallel economic ecosystem.

Social & Cultural Impact
Deepened Ethnic Divides: This would escalate already-tense ethnic sentiments and could lead to retaliatory actions in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria.

Cultural Awakening: The movement may also awaken a sense of cultural pride and push for self-reliance, similar to the 1950s Aba Women's Riot or the 1967 Biafra economic survival efforts.

Religious and Educational Fallout: Boycotting Lagos-based churches and schools (many of which are multiregional or globally affiliated) may fracture spiritual and intellectual alliances, possibly creating space for Igbo-owned institutions to rise in prominence.

Political Repercussions
Heightened National Dialogue: A mass boycott would force political leaders to confront long-ignored grievances, especially around federal equity, marginalization, and restructuring.

International Attention: If well-coordinated, such a movement could attract global media and human rights attention—particularly if framed around systemic exclusion or cultural erasure.

Reform or Retaliation?: The federal and state governments could either respond with reforms (dialogue, policy shifts, street name reversals), or escalate the conflict with political crackdowns, economic pressure, or propaganda.

Strategic Outcomes
Short-Term Chaos: Price volatility, product unavailability, and media outrage.

Medium-Term Adaptation: Companies may try to localize operations outside Lagos or create Igbo-targeted PR strategies.

Long-Term Transformation: Emergence of a dual economic axis—Lagos vs. Onitsha/Nnewi/Aba—as a counterbalance in Nigerian commerce.

Conclusion
Such a boycott would not be without sacrifice, but if carefully orchestrated, it could serve as a powerful protest tool—not just to demand equity but to shift power structures and redefine economic narratives in Nigeria. However, without clear goals and strategic leadership, it risks becoming a divisive act with limited gains.

Tinubu’s New APC Chairman: Big Win for Shettima Ahead of 2027?

President Tinubu has appointed Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, a young professor from Plateau State, as the new APC National Chairman — and it’s raising eyebrows.

Why it matters:

🔹 Power Shift:
VP Shettima is from Borno (North-East). The former acting chairman was also from that zone. That was risky for 2027. Nentawe’s appointment from North-Central balances things and may secure Shettima’s future.

🔹 Religious Balance:
Nentawe is a Christian — a smart move after the Muslim-Muslim ticket backlash in 2023. This could win back trust in the Middle Belt & South.

🔹 Tech-Savvy & Loyal:
He’s not a pushover — ex-INEC commissioner, professor, and APC’s 2023 Plateau guber candidate. Loyal to Tinubu/Shettima.

🔹 Ribadu Rumours:
Whispers say Ribadu may replace Shettima as VP in 2027. But many party leaders are warning against it.

In short:
This move settles zoning, cools religious tension, and boosts Shettima.
2027 politics has already started.
