So where is NNPC getting the funds to fund fuel importation and to rehabilitate 4 refineries simultaneously? I support Tinubu's floating of oil prices.......... without proper cost recovery and investment interest how can a sector survive and thrive! In my view this coupled with the floating of the exchange rate is Tinubu's best policy so far but the guy is frittering the gains away with his tinwa tinwa and amala politics!
Tinubu is no nationalist nor statesman his tribal-based politics is his albatross!
stevonics: Leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, was insisting on presiding over his trial due to corruption cases involving her husband and son.
Kanu made the claims on Monday while appearing in court for the continuation of his trial. In a viral video on social media, Kanu is heard accusing the judge of using her position for personal gain.
“Justice Binta Nyako is using her position for personal gain. Her son and her husband are facing corruption charges. And they (the Nigerian government) told them that if they convict me, they will free the son and the husband,” Kanu alleged.
Although he did not provide details of the alleged cases, it is widely known that Murtala Nyako, a former governor of Adamawa State, and his son, Senator Abdulaziz Nyako, were being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over a N29 billion fraud case.
Recall that Justice Nyako had previously announced her recusal from Kanu’s case following allegations of bias, but the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court later reassigned the case to her, sparking further protests from Kanu’s legal team.
During Monday’s court session, Kanu insisted that Nyako had disobeyed a Supreme Court ruling that restored his bail.
“There’s a breach of judicial oath. They have violated their judicial oath because they have shown bias, according to the Supreme Court,” he said.
He further questioned the insistence on his trial, arguing that the government had no case against him.
“A court order was entered. It was said clearly and succinctly that she (Justice Nyako) is no longer going to try me. Why are they insisting? Because they have no case against me, and they know it.”
Kanu also challenged the authority of the Chief Judge to reassign his case to Justtice Nyako despite her earlier withdrawal.
“This is a federal gazetted law of Nigeria that says the Chief Judge of Nigeria cannot tell Binta Nyako what to do,” he said while waving documents in court.
He further declared that he no longer recognised the court’s authority over him.
“She stands recused from my case and cannot try me. I came here out of courtesy and respect,” Kanu asserted.
The IPOB leader, who has been in detention since his arrest and extradition from Kenya in 2021, reiterated his stance on Biafra’s independence.
“I am agitating for Biafra because I have the right to do so,” he stated.
Kanu was first arrested in 2015 under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. In 2022, the Court of Appeal ruled that his extradition from Kenya was illegal and ordered his release. However, the Federal government refused to comply, arguing that his release could escalate insecurity in the South-East.
The government later appealed the ruling, and in December 2023, the Supreme Court overturned the lower court’s decision, ordering the continuation of Kanu’s trial.
Kreesxxx: Until you realise that what you speak as language wasn't invented by u. Malaysia and Indonesia speak similar language but different people. Spain and Portugal share a lot of words in common but different people. Ukraine and Poland do the same. Itsekiri and Yorubas. Urhobo and Isoko and many others. Severally Ikwerres have rejected you people yet you won't let them be. There is what is called the phenomenon of mutual intelligibility of languages.
Ijaws are by far the most consequential enemies of Ndigbo but Nnamdi kanu naively tagged the sea pirates into Biafra........now he knows better! Yoruba and Fulani are very far from us but you see Ijaw...they are practically sitting on top our territory! They are sea nomads originally from Togo/ghana region>>>> They are very dark and ugly specimens! make we remain far from dem!
Tinubu is too old, too sick and too frail to provide the kind of dynamic leadership that Nigeria requires......kiss da truth!
There are even better candidates within yorubaland but considering Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election........I get a feeling that he will eventually lead Nigeria within the next 6 years............. Providence may be cooking and refining him for that exalted position! I do not believe that he was quite ready in 2023!
Jomonix: The most dangerous thing for me is that over 90 percent of the population believes in the fetish. People actually believe that physical cash can flow from human sacrifice. This is so sad and unfortunate. True spiritual awakening is needed now more than ever before.
who told you 90% of people believe that rubbish.........you dey craze!
helinues: Same way they gather so shall they crumble into pieces
Go and tell your lord and master to play real grand politics ....and seek to reunify the southern vote..........the Achilles heel of Yoruba politics is their disdain for everything Igbo! people like you encourage it, promote it, and enjoy it but who loses at the end ...no be the same Nigeria?
The southwest and northwest have systematically and strategically castrated the southeast economically and politically......to whose benefit!?Tinubu could have completed a small but significant project like finishing the new international terminal of the Enugu airport. Still, he came to Enugu and went without commissioning one single Federal project............... the same Tinubu spent 130 million dollars to buy a presidential jet for himself. Still, he cannot spend 10 to 20 million dollars to complete the Enugu terminal which has been over 95% complete for the past 5 years is a mission impossible! Make una continue.............a daniel will soon come to judgment!
ProudlyLagos: 🤣🤣did we announce referendum before you pack yourself and family in ekene dilichukwu transport and headed for Lagos and yorubaland?
You can keep telling yourself that lie you are economic savages from a barren region, ever wonder why no one lives in alaibo except Igbo? No one migrate to a desert to fetch water😂🤣
Return back to your barren region and stop crying about anyone stopping you, no one wrote you an invitation letter before you decided to leave your cursed region and we have called off your bluff severally and asked you to return back home and stop crying.,.shameless pigs
igbos will continue to sit on your heads in lagos...do your worst
gidgiddy: I'm happy that Nnamdi Kanu has said this so that all those who have been disgracing themselves, begging Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu can finally stop this show of shame
Tinubu recently released five thousand Boko haram without anybody begging him
What Nnamdi Kanu needs is speedy and just trial, or unconditional release with full apology and compensation for kidnapping, torture and illegal detention perpetrated by the Federal Government.
In addition, the federal government should pay Kanu one billion Naira judgement already secured in court for the bloody invasion of his house by the Nigerian Army
-+++++++our igbo politicians are a slimy bunch of old fart bags,,,,,,a complete disgrace of igbo can do spirit!
MufasaLion: Ukraine needs to wise up! Both US and Russia have been using them to fight proxy war, launder money, etc.
How can russia be using ukraine to fight a war that the same ukraine is killing russians....your post makes no sense! It is USA that is using ukraine oga!
Gotocourt: First country to recognize Biafra iPod ® Amaka
bad belle ! keep your Lagos................we have Enugu plus owerri........Onitsha plus Aba........Asaba plus Portharcourt.......Abakaliki plus Awka! Things are moving and people are moving back to base! Keep your lagos!
The things we find Tinubu doing now are a miracle to Peter Obi. This are things that in the imagination of someone who took advice from a mad man couldn't have thought of.
Tinubu has started perfectly well. USA or Europe wasn't built in 2 years that we think Tinubu should have done so.
Nigerians are impatient people generally.
meanwhile fulanis continue to slaughter your people in benue...keep talking nonsense while you walk into perdition...
Abufo: Soludo has done well...........I will rate him at par with Peter Obi right now! If he can improve transport and aviation infrastructure, schools and security.............and of course continue with new town development...then he will arguably be the best governor so far!
It seems Soludo is improving facilities at the airport gradually........ he is improving the access road and a contract has been awarded for a protocol lounge...........and night landing facilities! good work all round but the aero bridges must not be overlooked!
Jcoleworld911: I watch this video of ongoing dualization of roads in Nnewi and I was very happy with government of prof Charles Soludo, even when the road is still ongoing, the whole place has changed
Nnewi is beginning to like a mega city, if Soludo can extend this dualization to old oba to Nnewi road, then he will be the best governor ever in the history of Anambra state
Clearly, prof Charles Soludo came with a vision to reposition Anambra state as a modern state, I also heard that he will dualize Nkpor -Nnobi road and that of Ekwulobia to isuofia to Awka ekiti then to Nnobi also
If he completes all this, then it’s safe to declare my hometown Nnobi the fifth city in Anambra after Ekwulobia which is already fourth
God bless Anambra state God bless igboland, gradually we are getting there…
Soludo has done well...........I will rate him at par with Peter Obi right now! If he can improve transport and aviation infrastructure, schools and security.............and of course continue with new town development...then he will arguably be the best governor so far!
CONCERNED EMI NENT ENEKA NATIVES INSIST THAT ENEKA IS NO IGBO ENCLAVE IN RIVERS STATE.*
OPENING: Receive this Statement as a serious reaction to recent misleading, untrue and mendacious information to members of the public by certain persons in Eneka who in their self-seeking bid for validation as Igbos had made tendentious statement in the media conveying the impression that Eneka people of Apara Kingdom are Igbos. Consequently the Concerned Eminent Eneka Indigenes at home and abroad here and now express our displeasure with the current unguarded utterances and acts of lawlessness being endorsed by Eneka main Chief and others following the personal resolve of our Distinguished Senator John Azuta Mbata's exercise of his franchise to be a member of Ohaneze Ndigbo last month. Quite appalling is that a Community High Chief who told the Ogbakor Ikwerre official delegation that visited his Home that he's unaware and surprised that one of his Subjects in the person of the Distinguished Senator Mbata had offered himself for the post of President General of Ndigbo, would now turn around to undiscriminatingly assemble a few persons with whom he went with to pay a courtesy call on a Son from the “market,” whom he had denied knowledge of his decision to be the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo. More disappointing is that our traditional ruler deliberately misinformed the public by claiming that the visit was orchestrated and assented to by Eneka people. This is far from the truth. When will all these double standards end? Eneka people have come a long way and do have lots of responsible indigenous minds than what you are given to see and hear of us.
OUR RESPONSE:
Be that as it may, we wish to make matters lucid by saying that: 1. We appreciate the genuine concern of Iwhuruohna traditional rulers, the Pan Iwhuruohna youths and Elders and other bodies for sustaining the Peace, Love and Unity our Fathers laboured for and bequeathed to us all. 2. As Iwhuruoha natives of Eneka Clan, we truly feel encouraged by the various responses calling for caution and urging our Son and Brother, Distinguished Senator John Azuta Mbata to recant his current stance in Ohaneze Ndigbo for the good of the age-old valued distinct Identity and freedom of Iwhuruohna ethnic nationality. 3. That as illustrious indigenes of Eneka, we frown at and do hereby disassociate ourselves from the Statement made by the Senator in his Television Spot Interview on Saturday February 1, 2025, that there are different categories of Iwhuruohna, urging those who claim Bini ancestry to 'go to Bini.’ 4. This line of free talk is divisive and capable of evoking all ill wind which could result in Lawlessness. DANGER: 1. Such remark by Senator Mbata does clearly confirm rumors that the Senator's intention is to be the bridge through which the aggrieved expansionist of Ohaneze Ndigbo will walk to actualize their more than 50 years desire to claim Rivers State as "their 6th Igbo State in Nigeria” 2. We here again emphasize that this is the ill-conceived political agenda to forcefully assimilate the Ikwerre, Etche, Ekpeye, Ogba, Ndoni and other ethnic nationalities they unilaterally drafted into their unacceptable Map of Biafra; 3. It is now clearer that the free donation of the highest Office of President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo to an Ikwerre man is for the sole purpose of gaining a re-entry to claim Port Harcourt as Igbo land. Shockingly they now found an Eneka illustrious Son who willingly or otherwise accepted the bait set by Ohaneze Ndigbo by capitulating to the attractions of the overture in promises rejected by other kinsmen who were contacted before the Senator. 4. We, the Eneka people are very unhappy with our paramount Chief Rowland Woko and all those who alongside with him are singing songs of divide and rule in Eneka today - all for the sake of stomach infrastructure. 5. Evident now is that this whole blinding drive is political; as evinced in the Senator's promise of more infrastructural developments to Eneka people and also from remarks made by others who spoke to the Press in the same event, disclosing that very soon intention in the Senator's decision to accept the PG position will become clearer to those who are yet to understand him now. 6. As concerned Eneka Natives, We reiterate the unflagging position of all well-meaning Chiefs, Elders and people of Eneka with the stance of Ogbakor Ikwerre Worldwide in this matter. SECURITY: 1. It is now expedient to call on our dear Executive Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara KSC., GSSRS., all Law enforcement and Security Agents in the State as well as all opinion leaders of the Rivers tribes to rise to our early call to nip this expansionist tendency in the bud right now; this renewed cruise and push with a few individuals working on their behalf might affect the shared peace and unity existing among Rivers tribes as constituted from inception when Rivers State was created. 2. Let it be known that the end of this neo-political moves by the political faction within Ohaneze Ndi Igbo will affect Rivers State greatly if allowed to fester. 3. This re-entry design of a people having more than five decades of grievances against Rivers People, if left unchecked will blow adversely as an ill wind against all tribes including the Ijaws, Ekpeyes, Ogonis, Etches, Ogbas etc. 4. Our rejection of this re-entry into Rivers State of politically motivated Igbo opinion leaders necessitated our standing hand in hand with the Ikwerre ethnic Nationality. It is said that “a stitch in time saves nine.” It is better to fix a problem as soon as it arises to prevent it from becoming a bigger issue.
THE END:
1. As Concerned Citizens of Eneka we maintain that Distinguished Senator John Azuta Mbata is on his own and that all resident in Eneka including HRH Chief Rowland Woko should, in the interest of common peace and the valued Unity for which Eneka is known, from making public statements which convey the impression that Eneka is now an enclave of the Ohaneze Ndigbo group in Rivers State. 2. Failure of the High Chief to restrain himself and those with him in their unpopular pursuit, will be taken as calculated offense worth visiting with appropriate Civilized response.
3. A good and contemplative leader avoids all that divides or polarises his people, but rather commits to building a united and prosperous platform for his people. To be forewarned, it is said, is to be forearmed
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Long live the South-South Geopolitical Zone
Long live Rivers State.
Long live Eli-Nu-Dieli Iwhuruohna Dum.

Ijaw people churning out fake pubic statements from their waterside shanties ! When will these abominable jomen paddle their way back to Bayelsa...........leave port harcourt una no gree!
EmeeNaka: Do IPOB-ESN terrorists now recognize Ohaneze? Thought they cursed Ohaneze and all Igbo elders? Anyway, thank you Mbata for your unwavering commitment to upholding the truth about your Igbo heritage regardless of the several noises coming from different quarters. Sim Fubara will leverage on the collective voting power of Igbo people in River state to destroy all his enemies come 2027.
mumu...! go and collect the Igbo cadavers you ordered from your fulani Sugar daddies! shameless man!
they have achieved their aim.......lock up kanu and Ekpa and unleash the herdsmen full time! where are the pair of disused douchebags Ojiofor and Emenaaka or whatever the pair of twerps call themselves!
Jagaban2012: If Sharia drives all of these Chest beaters away from our land, it is preferable to have Sharia than to share our God-given land with those who do not suppose to be with us....we have always have the muslims , Hausa / Fulani around us without no problem not until those from the south came to join us in Yoruba land.....and become delusional in our territory Selling counterfeit products and kidnapping were brought to the territory.
Praise be to God, may your wishes come true....! Ndigbo in a nation of 100% igbos will be 'HEAVEN" on earth!
which sensible Igbo man.......in his right senses ditches his igbo surname, to name himself Van-Lare..........this douche bag can go and collect his pension from the grave........bloody thief!
viccy12: This government city will be a point of reference when completed. This project is not for the faint hearted and I applaud him because he is also taking on many capital-intensive projects
I agree 100%! I feel Soludo's capacity to perform is greatly underrated ! He has taken on some challenging projects no doubt! However, he has neglected some low-hanging fruit projects! .......like completing the aero bridges at the Chinua Achebe Airport.........and completely rehabilitating the Niger headbridge road!
Vicky951: He deserves it though. Everyone is just lashing out on the woman. Did you bother knowing the cause of the divorce. Or you think the US government is stupid? Before they will take it license, and limit access to his kids, something prompted him.
If you know you have a character flaw as a man, like aggressive cheating, verbal, physical or emotional abuse, better stay in Nigeria. Foreign countries had zero tolerance for these behaviors against women.
As someone who has been in the USA for over 6 years now, and know this family, the man deserves everything. I have zero empathy for me. If he were to be my brother, he still deserves it. Women are humans too and deserves to be treated right. The woman even gave him an option of going back to Nigeria for a while or getting another space so they see how to resolve the issue with time and he said instead of leaving for Nigeria, he’ll get a divorce. And he got it and even more! May his soul rest in peace.
you do not know the erinne family....you are lying
owobokiri: Stop marrying these wayward gals that have been totally traumatised during their run gal days. Avoid them. They have damaged themselves beyond repair and are nothing but walking disasters. The ex is somewhere having fun. Jezebel has moved on and will never feel any pain over this. Men! Save yourselves!!!
Look for cultures that are still traditional and marry from there. Whether in Africa or Asia oo. Marry her and treat her nice. But you see most of these "money for hand back for ground" girls you guys pick off the streets once you visit home, they are wild hyenas. You can't domestic a wild hyena.. Loyalty is not the strongest point..
owobokiri: Total relegation? Is that not what Tibubu and his minions have been doing with APC since 2015. Is there anything he can do post 2027 that would be worse than what he is doing presently against the igbos? I don't understand. Basically, as it stands, the marginalisation of the igbos is the major political ideology of the current APC set up. Tinubu cant do worse..
Igbos are already down, so they can't fear any further fall. From there, their best plan should be to vigorously but skillfully pursue a political plan that will help drive a serious wedge between the Yoruba and Northern janja-weed political union. That's the best bet. Ignite a fight between the biggest parasites in Nigeria and latch on that to reengineer the apartheid political structures of this unfortunate country. .
And that looks pretty much easier when juxtaposed with the two dubious alternatives you presented.
tell am! ndi uchu..........the wickedness in the hearts of Aboki/Agbado conspiracy is beyond comprehension!
abuzz33: Let's think constructively. The reality is Soludo needs to improve his project planning, budgeting and management. The Amusement park in awka is over 2 years now. The reconstruction of the 3km Oby Okoli avenue is 2 years. The government house complex is over 3 years. It ahould not be but its because he is using an outdated method popular in Nigeria where you pay as money comes in rather than in bulk.
This is why infrastructure projects in Nigeria take decades. The second Niger Bridge was designed in 2004 or 2005 but no real work took place until 2017. That was because Uche Orji at the NSIA figured out a better funding model by seeking counterpart funding from development agencies and private investors in setting up the presidential infrastructure fund.
ANSG should have sought creative funding options for its projects. For example the Amusement Park really should be a PPP and designed 100% by experts not partly by ParkVega and Anambra govt officials. The government house complex should have been constructed in phases the way Abuja was when ministries were moved from Lagos to Abuja.
Anyways we can only pray that Soludo can complete these projects to a high quality standard.
To be honest I think Soludo has done well when it comes to managing the meager funds available to him......Considering the number of projects he is tackling,,,, he has done well sha! He needs to increase the IGR of the state , I am not sure how Enugu managed to increase their IGR to a claimed 130 billion naira but Anambra needs to increase its revenue!
