This is what happens, when greed too much.

What matter now is independence, fund and result.let us hope this one deliver power...

Because we have seen many commissions that end up toothless..

Let's be honest, tinubu alone isn't the problem..

The real failure lies with the military and police who allow attacks to continue despite huge resources,


The president can't be every where, but security agencies must do their job and protect innocent nigerian..

Instead of rejecting the report,

the government should show progress and let results speak louder than statistics ...

If it holds , it could prove stability In the region and possible reshape US influence in the middle east.giving trump a diplomatic win,

If it collapes, It could just as easy depeen mistrust and chaos..

If yoruba can embrace others' culture why can't others respect yoruba influence?


The iyalode--General title has helped Organize markets across Nigeria..progress shouldn't scare anyone and sharing it with others shouldn't cause panic..

Is a symbol of unity for market women not tribal invasion

SmartPolician:
This is clearly false. No Nigerian businessman enjoys the kind of privileges that Dangote does. Do you know what it means to invest $1 billion of taxpayers' money in a private business?

Nobody fails with such support from the government. The brewery company that Peter Obi invested $12m in while he was governor is now one of the biggest tax payers in the state. Imagine what $1 billion can do for a business.

Government support isn't new..from otedola to Adenuga, many had similar or even better chances..

Let me list some for you...Oando group..BUA group, Ibeto group, conoil and Globacom, NICON group, and forte oil Geregu power.

The difference is dangote used his to build industries, others used theirs to chase contracts, politics, and luxury

SmartPolician:
While I must commend Alhaji Dangote for doing well for himself and country, I must state here that most rich people don't enjoy the preferential treatment that Dangote gets from the FG. The FG through the NNPC invested $1 billion in the Dangote refinery. How many other Nigerians get such support from the FG?

Whenever Dangote wants to establish his businesses outside Nigeria and faces a challenge in that country, the president of Nigeria travels with him to that country to use his influence to solve the problem. Former President GEJ did that several times and that's why he took the credit for making Africa's richest man in his time. How many other Nigerian business people get such privileges?

Government support don't guarantee success..it only create opportunity..many others got the same Backing still failed..

the difference is dangote used the opportunity to build something tangible not to steal or waste it..

Connections may open doors as you said but discipline and vision Keep them open..

Senator Umeh should know that federal jurisdiction only appears to active federal facilities...like military bases or federal government offices..

Not on private traders running shops on formal federal sites..

See..lagos is not fighting anyone..it is simply enforcing order...if you benefit from lagos, you must also respect its rule..

Most of our so called billionaire cannot replicate what dangote is doing because their wealth has no solid foundation...(has no clean roots)

You fear transparency-- you 'll always hide from scrutiny

That is why genuine industrial growth is rare in nigeria.

People are too quick to believe every headline..

Well , if bandits had truly overrun the troops , we would have see the videos everywhere by now..

emmanuelewumi:
Because he does not have a choice but to step in

Just watch out, Ogunlesi and Hakeem Bello Osagie, visited him during the strike. One of the things discussed was partnership in the Energy sector and another Refinery will come up in Lagos. Probably around Badagry axis

Even if tinubu had no choice,what matter is that he made a right choice.....that is still leadership..

And yes..discussion about more refineries or energy partnerships show he is thinking long term not just reacting to crisis.

Sir, that is how progress begins ooo

Trump may sound harsh but he is right...leaders should spot progress .....not down in negativity..

Let 'us be honest....if tinubu hadn't stepped in , Nigeria could have gone dark.Dangote may have its faults and PENGASSAN's threat was like bombing the country to punish one man.

Labour rights matter but the national interest comes first.

SonOfWords:
Nnamdi Kanu poses more danger to the Nigerian populace than the killer boko haram terrorists that the FG has been "rehabilitating and reintegrating" back into the society since 2017?

Double standards like these account for why the Igbos have consistently insisted on exiting the Nigerian template. You don't treat people like conquered animals and then begin to convulate when they protest.

There's always a limit to everything under the sun. And it will be in the interest of the FG to make sure Kanu doesn't die in custody. I don't know why some of you Nigerians find it hard to tell the truth!

It is not the same..

Deradicalised boko haram members were released Under a monitor program..known as operation safe corridor...

Kanu case is active and political...

Kewekubosineh:
But it's easy to release, dialogue with Bandits and insurgents in your region,abi?

Your region is what's holding Nigeria backwards because of their support for insurgency and religious chauvinism. Yet, you are against release of KANU who is advocating for justice for a particular people and are behind him?

Unless Nigeria is restructured or unbundled, there can't be progress because your people see themselves more as Arab Muslims than being Nigerians.

And that's the beginning of our precarious federalism.

Bros, who told you l am a northerner and a muslim? Forget this moniker stuff...

Bros, l just want you know that KANU is not just one man.

His case isn't bias, but as a duty to act responsible..

SonOfWords:
If that man dies in the custody of the Nigerian government, we all will not like the ripple effects.

Nnamdi Kanu is being detained against all legal and constitutional laws conceivable and even the International community is keenly watching. Sentence the man or release him!

Let's stop supporting nonsense in this country over parochial sentiments!

Bros, for me, the way l see kanu l believe is the same way the reminder see him too.

While concern for kanu's health is understandable..but l feel that nigerians cannot ignore the danger he poses.

Kanu is not just an individual .. As we all know him, he represents a movement that could destabilize the whole Southeast and beyond..

His influence can mobilize large groups , incite violence and threaten national security..

See bros, our government has a task to protect millions not just one person .

So taking extreme caution here is not parochial sentiment --- it is responsibility..

Brendaniel:
Because you are not sounding like a right thinking adult( I'm very sorry to say)

You people are busy destroying Nigeria with your support and you expect people to ignore or support the nonsense you people are doing?

You did for Buhari 8 years now you've moved to Tinubu to continue...

Very heartless and wicked human beings...

You need to see a Doctor..

You are out of control..

Brendaniel:
I've replied you, you are even laughing because to you everything here is cruise, sports, game, it is like Arsenal vs Man-u even though people are dying, you don't care...

Stop the nonsense, If you cannot talk to me like an adult l won't respond again..

If you want to learn ..l am here to lecture you

Brendaniel:
Which warning did Jonathan ignore?

Show me proof with a link, and how has Tinubu actively responded to insecurity by adding more states to the list he met?

The way you guys lie is something that convinces me that there is something seriously wrong with you people...

Was Jonathan warned about the church attack Tinubu blamed him for? but it was ok to you people Tinubu blamed him now you don't want to blame Tinubu for anything...

You people are very wicked, playing politics with the lives of Nigerians...

OK ..let me remind you..

The chibok school girls abduction in April 2014 is a widely documented where Nigerian authorities under president Jonathan failed to act on earlier warning.

Additionally, in February 2018, boko haram abducted 118 school girls in Dapchi in yobe state.

Amnesty international reported that Nigerian military had advanced warnings about the impending doom but failed to act..

You can use google to support my stance

Brendaniel:
What distraction is there, it seems like you guys just love hypocrisy and delusion,,,

let's simplify this whole thing..

You appointed a security guard to protect your family, you traveled for work, then your eldest saw thieves robbing another street and notified the security guard ahead to close the gate and prepare with his arms, he did;t do anything, the thieves came robbed and killed some of your children, you heard this and just continued your work...

Is that what you would do?

But that's what Tinubu is doing and you are here supporting him...

I know you will say it is different fro a family settings, is Tinubu not supposed to be the father of the nation?

is he not supposed to see every Nigerian as his child?

except you are telling us that you and Tinubu don't see it that way...

This is is the same Tinubu blaming Jonathan for killings that happened in a church, but he is the president now and you people don't want to blame him, I just see you people as very wicked and heartless human beings, this evil you people are doing to Nigerians because of tribal and religious bigotry that has finished you people...

I just pointed out the difference for you..read what l sent..Relax

Brendaniel:
So why was Tinubu blaming Jonathan for Boko haram?

Now he is there you people don't want to blame him, just look at the hypocrisy...

Bros, come down , l mean cul temper....

Calling it hypocrisy ignores the Facts, Tinubu inherited the security challenges but is actively trying to respond

Johnathan was critized for ignoring warning just the same way zulum is accusing the military now.

So, that is the difference..

helinues:
Bro those head of the security that Zulum claimed he notified, are they not northerners? Why did they ignore the earlier Intel if not political.

Lagos is currently hosting water race because the state is conducive and secure. When would the north have such privilege of hosting an international event.

The Northerners are their own problem

Exactly bro, security is not about north or south , it is about leaders doing their jobs. Lagos can host events safely because leaders plan and act..

Northern states need the same commitment not excuses.

Brendaniel:
And Tinubu who is the leader of all of them who should be coordinating all of them is sleeping and snoring in Aso rock.

You are even laughing telling you that you know your statement is just cruise, the wickedness you people are doing to Nigerians because of tribal and religious support.

Stop the distraction bros,

People warned, people died, and the military snoozed --

that is the story ,not who you think l support.*

Accusing someone of supporting tribe and religion won't do this country any good...

We need to judge based on facts..not assumptions

Let's be real:

No government would touch kanu's release---Even obi would clutch his chest first...

Some fires are just too dangerous to play with". ..

helinues:
Bro, Zulum is being economical with the truth. Why can't he notified the presidency and get direct order. We are talking about lives here .

The Kwara governor is also blaming Saraki for the unrest in some part of Kwara, isn't that un seriousness from his part

Yes .he should have taken a proactive measures.

Thanks..

This strategy shows failure on both fronts----

The governor's repeated alarms without proactive measures... and the military 's delayed response.

Security is not about blame,it is about coordination and accountability...

Same people shouting "Tinubu did nothing'" go still use the roads and light he build...


Hypocrite no dey tire Una. ;

Experience is good--- But repeating failure no be experience--it is recycling .

Nigeria deserves innovation not repetition..

Same old story....

Atiku should stop playing Politics with human lives.

The president does not need to visit every crises zone to prove leadership...visiting alone won't stop attack..

What matter is the action behind the event...

topatee:
Go to Papa Ajao and Ladipo and see what they've turned that beautiful environment to, when I was a kid, we had the likes of Ebenezer Obey, IK Dairo, Orlando Owoh... it was carved out of notorious Mushin. If you visit Papa-Ajao now you will feel sorry, it has become sparepartsjungleand den of kidnappers and robbery gangs.
If Lagos state government starts bulldozing the iron-jungle at Ladipo now, someone will start crying foul. Why can't we follow rules

Abi, thank you sir for this..l appreciate
