Does the origin of the name matter to us?
Has there been terror attack in Kwara state or not?
His name doesn't matter to us, what matters to us is for these terrorists to be neutralized shikina.

I watched him on Arise TV (I think 2 days ago), though I didn't watch much of the program but if he has a good idea that can better Imo state and Nigeria, it's best to give him the support he needs.
I just hope sey no be sakamaje dis guy dey give Imolites because de way wey him dey talk, I no too trust am, people don too lie for us for dis obodo Nigeria.

You've done honorable, you were not trained to take orders from military officer.

The student loan is a good initiative, It has really helped a lot of students and have lifted some bouden from the back of some parents.

I know some beneficiaries of it but the problem I've with it is, collecting the money back after the students graduates and starts working. It is called a loan so NELFFND should be able to collect our money from them.

During Buhari's administration, there was an empowerment program they did in which they trained people and gave them a loan of 800k I think in 2021. The beneficiary of it that I knew, used her own to buy clothes and other stuffs and when it's time to start paying up, FG started the process of collecting the money back, she stopped using the bank account that the money was paid into and I can say that up till now she haven't paid the money abd she said the money was given to them by Buhari and I'm sure this is also the case with other beneficiaries of the program.

De money no be grants, na loan de money be, we no wan hear sey to collect de money back dey hard una and sey una no fit collect am or sey some of de people don japa or die.

Since I was born, I've never seen any administration in any country that would attribute all their challenges to their predecessor of the same political party.
Every right thinking Nigerian knows that Buhari's government was the all time worst since 1999 so Correct the damn thing and stop pointing accusing fingers, you were employed to correct things that are not right the.
Oga, if you know sey you no fit arrange wetin spoil abeg resign because light mata dey vex person for dis country

NBA reserve the right to protest by taking her conference to somewhere else so let River state count her losses.
For those that are saying that NBA should refund of the monetary gift by Rivers state government, I want to ask a question, did NBA approach Rivers state government for money for the hosting right of the conference? If no, they (NBA) are not obligated to refund the money.
The mata be Just like boyfriend and girlfriend mata, no spend wetin go pain you if person break your heart. If you give your babe or bobo gifts and dem still cheat or marry another person, na laugh dem go dey laugh you if you tell dem to pay you wetin you spend for their head.

NANS is the lite version of Nigeria politicians. Always associated with greed, intimidation.
Wait ooo, abeg na when Nigeria defense academy become Nigeria police abi na show of power?

Like or hate him, Wike is doing well as FCT minister.
At this rate Wike go make FCT develop quick quick.

It's really good to honor people who can take risk to save a situation that could have taken more lives and properties.
Peter Obi do well for dis one, if you like call am eye service na you sabi.

What is it with American and crash recently with too many crash.
America need to check their aviation sector, nobi only Nigeria and Africa we suppose dey criticize.

There's absolutely no way Trump is winning this trade war especially with China.
Only Americans would feel the heat that comes US tariffs on China or China tariffs on US. USA can have advantages over China in lots of things but not in this tariff war. Did Donald Trump not realize that the kinda society that China is and that as a capitalist state that capitalist just want to make profit even if it means operating from the moon.
Compare the cost of labour in both countries and you'll get all the answers you need.
You hit China with tariff na Americans go pay dey money, if China hit America with tariff na Americans go pay, any how you do am na Americans go pay de money but wait ooo na who dey advice Trump for American sake sef.

Mo Salah is already a premier league legend. I mean looking back at 2014, who would have believed that Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne would end up as premier league legends.
Eden Hazard and Willian were the first choice on the flank while Oscar was a preferred number 10 in Chelsea setup back then and I'm sure nobody would have predicted that Mo Salah and KDB would end their respective careers in the premier league the way they did.
Mo Salah went to Fiorentina and AS Roma while KDB went to Wolfsburg only for them to return to another premier league clubs to help their teams to achieve greatness.

For dis life, people must dey ahead of you at a time dat one no mean sey you no get your own purpose sometimes we need just a step backwards to shoot us up to our promise land.

Saying it doesn't mean doing it because they said the thing when they increased NYSC allowee to ₦19,800 in 2011 also in 2019 when it was increased to ₦33,000 so tell me why should anyone believe NYSC DG? After announcing the increment in 2011 and 2019 they didn't start paying till after 6 months or there about. Those that were still in service and had about 6 months remaining as at the time of the announcement didn't get to receive the increment and still were not paid the arrears even after their final parade. I'd be surprise of they pay the arrears.
For de people wey dey affected, make una no put mind for de money ooo, if de money come, fine if en no come fine and life goes on.

Thundafireseun:
Buhari did worse…..

I’m sure if Peter Obi had the same opportunity he would have done same thing too … with the way he has been travelling since 2023 round Nigeria ….

God bless President Tinubu

God bless Nigeria

So because Buhari did it, it's okay for other presidents coming after him to do it?
Una shame dey shame me.

Why is it not okay for our presidents to relax in Nigeria in places like Calabar and Uyo?
These states capitals have beautiful places that can serve the purpose of going to France and save Nigeria and Nigerians the cost of paying for presidential expensive trips to France.
They want us to patronize made in Nigeria, why are they not starting with themselves by having their vacation/medical tourism. President Macron visited Nigeria last in 2018 but Nigeria president has visited France 6x in less than 2 years I mean, does that make sense? How often, How many times has any Western/Arab/Caribbean leader visited Nigeria on a working visit. These leaders hardly visit other countries for their vacation and medical tourism.
It's a shame that people would always defend the actions of the government and President Buhari has set a bad precedent.
If dis one no be oppression, na wetin we go call am.

Go and read "Laying the foundation for Nigeria's democracy Humphrey Nwosu" and stop acting like an ignoramus.

Alliswell248:
Military rule ended as far back as 1999.
He should have summoned the courage to tell the story since then.

IBB wrote it in his book that mko abiola won

He does not deserve any recognition.

Most Nigerians have little or no lesson of history.
How can any sane human living or dead say Humphrey Nwosu didn't deliver or isn't a hero? If that man didn't insist on conducting election and declaring the results which declared MKO Abiola winner of the election, would we be talking about June 12? Do you know what it means to go against the court knowing fully well that the military had the backing of the court. Just look at how half men that can never have the courage to face a military man in a civilian rule is calling a man like Humphrey Nwosu a failure.....jezzz
How can you call a man that conducted the most credible election in the history of Nigeria a failure, he even wrote a book (Laying the foundation for Nigeria's democracy) that he said MKO Abiola won the 1993 election and they were praising Babangida for saying MKO Abiola won the election and hailed Buhari for declaring June 12 democracy day yet you want to ignore a man that contributed and risked his life to make that happen even some half man are saying trash about him and this are people that should be law makers.
We need to dey focus on de kind of people wey we dey send to go represent us for dis country because tribalism don enter us finish for dis country. Spit.

The bill would have make sense if we've strong institutions that can check the excesses of our leaders. My question is, how can you remove the immunity of a vice president and leave that of president? Did they not run for office with one ticket?
This would give too much power to the president and a president can decide to do away with his vice/governor/deputy governor anytime he/she. We all know fully well how an average African leader can be power drunk.
What we need is strong institutions that can make leaders account for their time in office and if they are found wanting, should pay for the crimes committed.
Nigerian president power too much, we no need make dem to get more power pass dis one wey dem don get.

Who the hell is this Olodo, Carry your tribalism and get out of my mention, opkonu.

HandsomeSkeleto:
Later, you will blockheads claiming that 'agbero' does not exist in the east as it is in Lagos. They usually say that nonsense whenever they want to talk trash about Lagos.
The ones in the east are even more deadly. Claiming to be IPOB terrorist. Tueh!

It'll really be interesting to see her face when she finally receives the package after paying delivery fee.
You go wakeup, wetin you no fit afford go dey hungry you, dat one sef no bad if you start to work hard to fit buy de thing but no, na to scam person dey you small mind, oloshi.

Foolish people, dis ones don go price market and him go pay. Let the soldiers teach them a lesson of their life, radarada.
I don't understand how you'll go out to buy goods and one riffraff from now where would be telling you to pay money for offloading the goods you bought with your hard earned money.
I remember my mini importation day when I went to clear some goods I bought from China, I called about some guys to help me load the goods for bus na so one mumu wey call himself agbero come dey tell me sexy make I pay money for offloading for market wey don enter inside bus already. As a typical Lagos boy I change am for am straight up, telling him that if he needs money, he could have just asked me and I'll give him something that I can afford to give him but as I dey so shi shi I no dey give you, he saw that my eyes was already red besides I know the real bad boys for that area. Na so the bad boy wannabe just waka commot.
This lawless is common in Nigeria especially in Southern Nigeria, you'll see people carry sticks to stop trailer drivers to collect money in the name of levy, even if they are supposed to pay for the levy, is there no better way government can do it rather than having miscreants disturbing the peace of other road users all in the name of collecting money.
Go Mile 2, you go see yeye people dey with stick sey dem dey collect money and dem go claim sey local government authorize dem.

Of course, it seems like that to sane Nigerians because I believe that our democracy should have grown beyond what we saw in the National Assembly and it started looking like state capturing for the purpose of 2027 just like we had it on the days of OBJ.
Even if Fubara took the wrong steps, you can't use illegality to justify your actions.
Everything about the SOE is anti democratic.
We can't go two steps forward and 10 steps backwards.
We know sey de SOE na to favor on of de two elephants wey dey fight.

And you think Nigerians don't know the dangers of taking that route? It's just human instinct to seek greener pasture even plants grow towards where it gets sunlight and water.
No country is perfect but those in authority in Nigeria should make life a bit better for citizens.
People get mind sha ooo, anybody wey fit follow dat road to Libya down to Europe fit do anything to survive, dat kind person fit even kill.

NIMC are not serious. How can you make getting NIMC card very difficult for citizens and you expect them not to seek alternative means of getting it for the purpose of documentation? Lots of Nigerians need government means of identification especially those that has not attained the age of of 18 during voter's card registration and not all Nigerians can afford getting International Passport which has prompted them to go for the so called fake NIMC card.
I registered for my NIN when Buhari's Federal government announced that to use a sim card, you must link your NIN to your line. I believe it's been more than 7 years that that announcement was made and since then I've tried to get the plastic card but couldn't get it because of how difficult it was to get it then. I gave up because I don't really need it because I've other means of identification especially for KYC but what about those that probably don't have driver's license, international Passport etc.
NIMC should make getting NIMC card less stressful and see how the number Nigerians patronizing these fake card vendors reduce without noise.
No be sey i dey support people wey dey print de fake card ooo but de true tori be sey na una (NIMC) be de problem.

Operation oil must flow.
Na Niger Delta dey feed Nigeria, you dey waine yaself if you say agriculture abi na tax dey generate more money.
Na oil and gas dey power every other part of Nigeria economy.

Serial sexual blackmailer is about to be dealt with by her own people.
Dis one go loud ooo

With the way FG took action after the explosion of pipelines yesterday, it's now clear that oil and gas are what powers Nigeria economy.
When you tell them that Niger Delta is the reason why we can complete with other big economies in Africa some olodo would come out to tell use how agriculture and tax generates more revenue than oil in Nigeria.
We've never diversified from oil at any time in our history and it is sad thing. Everything is about oil in Nigeria, oil was the reason for everything good and bad that has happened to Nigeria. How i wish we never discovered oil in Nigeria, probably Nigeria would have been in a better place.
Omo na Niger Delta dey feed Nigeria QED.

An entrepreneur wouldn't prioritize ethnicity if he/she wants growth.
Ethnicity has eaten deep into the mind of an average Nigerian.
I was having a conversation with a former neighbor and he started complaining how he (a man from Kwara state) went to collect indigen certificate from Lagos state and the person he met in the office happens to be an Igbo woman who told him to go and get that of Kwara state because he is not an indigen of Lagos. That was how he got angry that why would she say a thing like that to him and that she is not Yoruba and should not be working in Lagos civil service.
I just laughed and told him that but the woman is doing the right thing na and you sef no from Lagos na.
If the woman starts giving every Tom Dick and Harry indigen certificate of Lagos state, na people like you go say omo Igbo just dey give people certificate anyhow.
Even if you want to criticize her, why use tribe to do that? Only weak and low self esteem people use ethnicity to defend themselves in Nigeria.

You left Nigeria to rape abroad. Well ya eye don clear now na mumu.
Nairaland is very toxic, everything must habe ethnic coloration to it. You can never go through comment section without having your garment being stained by toxic people.
Tufiakwa.

bmaster2000:
After all media PR noise and rumblings, here are the Political reality on ground:

1.) PDP will not dissolve its party and join SDP. Not even Atiku can make them do that.

2.) None of the PDP governors are moving to an Elrufai comic SDP, and if Atiku joins SDP, only a selective few will join the SDP from PDP.

3.) When, and If Atiku leaves PDP, the governors of the party will consolidate on who becomes their presidential candidate at the party’s convention. “No wonder Fintiri and Bala Muhammed are being wayward towards Atiku”😮‍💨🤣

3.) None of the APC governors is moving to SDP, in fact they are rejoicing that the midget has gone.

4.) The current Northern APC leadership that have 2031 aspiration are the happiest amongst all. One less trouble maker is out.

5.) Elrufai political oblivious move to SDP is to Tinubu’s advantage. To simply put. Kaduna Gustavo is unknowingly working for BAT 😹

6.) If Peter obi and his obingo mobs join Elrufai-SDP, then they should forget Christian votes in the North, middle-belt and Most states in SS, Imo and Ebonyi.😹

7.) The Christians across Nigeria will VOTE against any party that has Elrufai as a member. (Leave that one for us)🤲🏽😹

8.) I don’t think RMK will dissolve his hard earned party for a Short man like El rufai. Even if he does, it doesn’t stop PDP from retaining their 2nd position at the general election.🥴

9.) At the end of the day, we now have a more divided opposition. ✅

10.) APC will further cleanse its party from rotten eggs within. ✅

11.) When Bitter Obi joins SDP and they loose, he becomes politically irrelevant and the fight in that party will be worth more than any comedy movie in the world 🤣

12.) Atiku has two options, either to politically retire in PDP or SDP. Whichever one is still considered 😹
