Salewa97:
Happy birthday to a great president.
God bless you, Asiwaju. God bless Nigeria.

Congratulations and happy birthday to the greatest Nigerian President, that has bestrode our socio-political and economic landscape, like a colossus, with massive infrastructural transformation. I wish him many happy returns of the day in good health, abundant wisdom and longevity. Insha Allah.

Was it at jamb or abi WAEC headquarters that a certain snake swallowed billions that year again? 🤔

It happened during the time of the former JAMB Registrar, Dibu Ojerinde and was exposed by the present Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede.

Daddyk87:
Try again jagaban will floor you again and again.
Please run oo , let some miscreants and lawyers eat.
Your corrupt money is delicious

Atiku is using reverse psychology, he will definitely run and lose as usual. Since 1993, there was no election season that Atiku did not run. He always ended up losing at the primaries or general elections.
Nigerians have gotten used to his psychological reactance. No be today.

Definitely, because I believe that Nigeria is hugely and enormously endowed with both human and natural resources and by the grace of God, under the present Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we shall keep our date with destiny.
I’ve fervently prayed to God to make me a Nigerian in my next life and even told those who are close to me that I even wish to stick with the same parent.

KenghisKhan:
Labour still dey exist? Nobody takes them serious again, so relegated.

Are Labour Unions just waking up from their slumber? Where were the unions when the underlisted governors were permanently removed from office by PDP federal governments?

1. Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti State)
2. Muritala Nyako (Adamawa State)
3. Joshua Dariye (Plateau State)
4. Peter Obi (Anambra State)
5. Diepreye Alamieyeseigha (Bayelsa State)
6. Rasheed Ladoja (Oyo State)

Not even six months suspension like Fubara, they were unconstitutionally chased away from their offices.

ChicagoFires:
Atiku 👋
Waziri of Adamawa
Dubai landlord
Mr Mikano

Atiku that used Mikano generators to scuttle and destroy NEPA, to the extent that even after Obasanjo squandered and wasted $16billion on it, it still could not work, until the best Nigerian President ever, Bola Ahmed Tinubu came with the magic wand- Band A.

helinues:
Initially, it was the corper lady over run Elrufai's news, with the event in Rivers state, Elrufai discussion might have been relegated to the last bottom

El-Rufai is presently dazed, still in shock and gradually coming to terms with the fact of the State of Emergency Declaration in Rivers state.
He is already stranded in SDP, as nobody dares to join him under the current situation, lest they incur the wrath of Tinubu. Tinubu is a very strong President with unequaled mental strength, even among our past Presidents.

yarimo:
This is very commendable from president TINUBU, everyone should just dey him dey 😄😄

We now know who is in charge. The President has now bared his fangs and the next port of call is Oshun state, Governor Ademola Adeleke should permanently disband his illegal local government chairmen in his own interest otherwise, his own will be worse.
It’s not for nothing that Tinubu has been in charge of Lagos state for the past 26 years, even while in opposition.
I’ve repeatedly stated that nobody can stop Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, except the Almighty God.

There's no need for this, a message has been pass across by the president

Mopolchi:
We don't want ranching in Igbo land. Take it to the north!

Maybe if you calm down and reason along with me, it’ll make some sense:
1. They are not taking your land, they want to reclaim their grazing reserves in Igboland.
2. Aba leather industry needs hides and skin which could be provided by herdsmen.
3. Nigerian hides and skin are exported to Europe, while we import finished leather products.
4. If ranches are established in the south east, raw materials would be available for Aba leather industry, jobs would be available and Nigeria will keep its foreign currencies.

dettolgel:
The King is constitutionally obliged to follow the government’s advice.

The same way the Federal Government consults the Sultan before declaring public holidays for Nigerian Muslims. It’s not whimsical, like a single family that wields enormous power over the three arms of government in England, I.e. the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary, as well as the Commonwealth which even includes Nigeria for that matter and you are here lamenting about the Sultan whose main duties are merely spiritual.
Do you know that by virtue of being the head of the Commonwealth, the King also gives instructions which are binding on us without our inputs and you stay here sweating over Sultan whose spiritual directives are inconsequential to you.

MadamExcellency:
The truth here is that you can't see thugs and louts around Atiku Abubakar. I can confirm this.

Save your sweat, a politician of Atiku’s calibre does not need to be physically present in the midst of thugs, he has designated aides who take care of them nationwide, even without making a recourse to him.

DatNiggaDaz:
;DSpoken like a die - hard subject that undeniably needs permission for moon sighting

It would be much appreciated and enrich your knowledge if you address the substance and leave the shadows. Your ignorance is understandable, logically speaking nobody takes permission from anybody before sighting the moon, as the moon comes out naturally.
There are now modern equipment for early moon sighting, you are only to inform the appropriate authorities, as requested.

DatNiggaDaz:
;DNothing like slam here.
Just reminding them of their status as people that still needs their permission before sighting the moon

Stop deceiving yourself, even in England that is more civilized than Nigeria, it’s only a single family that has been ruling them and the King performs the following functions:
1. The King is the head of the Commonwealth, which includes Nigeria.
2. He appoints the Prime Minister and all the other ministers.
3. He opens new sessions of the parliament.
4. He gives assent to bills passed by the parliament, including the ones regulating your stay in England.
5.He appoints Judges and Magistrates.
6. He dissolves the parliament at the request of the prime minister.
If a single family has been wielding such enormous powers in England that is even our former colonial masters, why are you bothered about an issue as insignificant as sighting of the moon, before the commencement of an event (Ramadan) that does not even concern you.

Racoon:
Now non-state treasonable fellas are now being stratified into bands of repentant, rehabilitated and de-radicalized terrorists. Wasting the resources of Nigeria to recycle killers. What a country!

Why is Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the IPOB Terrorist group, being fed and accommodated at the expense of the Nigerian taxpayers, not killed all this while, first by Buhari and now Tinubu.
There are rules of engagement guiding the treatment of Prisoners of War. Once they are captured, they are deradicalized, reformed and rehabilitated, for eventual reintegration into the society.

Why not try ORT to reverse the dehydration.Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is cheap, effective, and easy to administer. A homemade solution can be prepared by mixing eight level teaspoons of sugar and one level teaspoon of salt in one liter of clean water. ORT has been shown to reverse dehydration in more than 90 percent of patients with acute diarrhea.
Continue preparing and consuming these solutions repeatedly, until it subsidizes and stops.

TRUMP, ZELENSKYY AND VANCE’S HEATED ARGUMENTS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Vance: “For four years, the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The path to peace and the path to prosperity is, maybe, engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden, of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the United States’ words mattered more than the president of the United States’ actions. What makes America a good country is America engaging in diplomacy. That’s what President Trump is doing.”

Zelenskyy: “Can I ask you?”

Vance: “Sure. Yeah.”

Zelenskyy: “OK. So he (Putin) occupied it, our parts, big parts of Ukraine, parts of east and Crimea. So he occupied it in 2014. So during a lot of years — I’m not speaking about just Biden, but those times was (Barack) Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump. And God bless, now, President Trump will stop him. But during 2014, nobody stopped him. He just occupied and took. He killed people. You know what the --"

Trump: “2015?”

Zelenskyy: “2014.”

Trump: “Oh, 2014? I was not here.”

Vance: “That’s exactly right.”

Zelenskyy: “Yes, but during 2014 ‘til 2022, the situation is the same, that people have been dying on the contact line. Nobody stopped him. You know that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, my bilateral conversation. And we signed with him, me, like, you, president, in 2019, I signed with him the deal. I signed with him, (French President Emmanuel) Macron and (former German Chancellor Angela) Merkel. We signed ceasefire. Ceasefire. All of them told me that he will never go … But after that, he broke the ceasefire, he killed our people, and he didn’t exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners. But he didn’t do it. What kind of diplomacy, JD, you are speaking about? What do you mean?”

Vance: “I’m talking about the kind of diplomacy that’s going to end the destruction of your country.
Mr. President, with respect, I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.”

Zelenskyy: “Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?”

Vance: “I have been to –”

Zelenskyy: “Come once.”

Vance: “I’ve actually watched and seen the stories, and I know that what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you’ve had problems, bringing people into your military?”

Zelenskyy: “We have problems –”

Vance: “And do you think that is respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?”

Zelenskyy: “A lot of questions. Let’s start from the beginning.”

Vance: “Sure.”

Trump erupts when Zelenskyy suggests the U.S. might ‘feel it in the future’
Zelenskyy: “First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don’t feel now. But you will feel it in the future. God bless –”

Trump: “You don’t know that. You don’t know that. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel. We’re trying to solve a problem. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel.”

Zelenskyy: “I’m not telling you. I am answering on these questions.”

Trump: “Because you’re in no position to dictate that.”

Vance: “That’s exactly what you’re doing.”

Trump: “You are in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel. We’re going to feel very good.”

Zelenskyy: “You will feel influenced.”

Trump: “We are going to feel very good and very strong.”

Zelenskyy: “I am telling you. You will feel influenced.”

Trump: “You’re, right now, not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position –”

Zelenskyy: “From the very beginning of the war —”

Trump: “You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.”

Zelenskyy: “I’m not playing cards. I’m very serious, Mr. President. I’m very serious.”

Trump: “You’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III.”

Zelenskyy: “What are you speaking about?”

Trump: “You’re gambling with World War III. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have.”

Vance: “Have you said thank you once?”

Zelenskyy: “A lot of times. Even today.”

Vance: “No, in this entire meeting. You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.”

Zelenskyy: “No.”

Vance: “Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who’s trying to save your country.”

Zelenskyy: “Please. You think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can –”

Trump: “He’s not speaking loudly. He’s not speaking loudly. Your country is in big trouble.”

Zelenskyy: “Can I answer —”

Trump: “No, no. You’ve done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.”

Zelenskyy: “I know. I know.”

Trump: “You’re not winning. You’re not winning this. You have a damn good chance of coming out OK because of us.”

Zelenskyy: “Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we’ve been alone. And we are thankful. I said thanks.”

Trump demands Zelenskyy accept a ceasefire
Trump: “If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.”

Zelenskyy: “In three days. I heard it from Putin. In three days.”

Trump: “Maybe less. It’s going to be a very hard thing to do business like this, I tell you.

Vance: “Just say thank you.”

Zelenskyy: “I said a lot of times, thank you, to American people.”

Vance: “Accept that there are disagreements, and let’s go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it out in the American media when you’re wrong. We know that you’re wrong.”

Trump: “But you see, I think it’s good for the American people to see what’s going on. I think it’s very important. That’s why I kept this going so long. You have to be thankful.”

Zelenskyy: “I’m thankful.”

Trump: “You don’t have the cards. You’re buried there. People are dying. You’re running low on soldiers. It would be a damn good thing, and then you tell us, ‘I don’t want a ceasefire. I don’t want a ceasefire, I want to go, and I want this.’ Look, if you can get a ceasefire right now, I tell you, you take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.”

Zelenskyy: “Of course we want to stop the war. But I said to you, with guarantees.”

Trump: “Are you saying you don’t want a ceasefire? I want a ceasefire. Because you’ll get a ceasefire faster than an agreement.”

Zelenskyy: “Ask our people about a ceasefire, what they think.”

Trump: “That wasn’t with me. That was with a guy named Biden, who is not a smart person.”

Zelenskyy: “This is your president. It was your president.”

Trump: “Excuse me. That was with Obama, who gave you sheets, and I gave you Javelins. I gave you the Javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama gave you sheets. In fact, the statement is Obama gave sheets, and Trump gave Javelins. You’ve got to be more thankful because let me tell you, you don’t have the cards. With us, you have the cards, but without us, you don’t have any cards.”

Trump says Putin respects him due to the investigations of his first term
Vance, restating a reporter’s question: “She is asking what if Russia breaks the ceasefire.”

Trump: “What, if anything? What if the bomb drops on your head right now? OK, what if they broke it? I don’t know, they broke it with Biden because Biden, they didn’t respect him. They didn’t respect Obama. They respect me. Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt ... All I can say is this. He might have broken deals with Obama and Bush, and he might have broken them with Biden. He did, maybe. Maybe he did. I don’t know what happened, but he didn’t break them with me. He wants to make a deal. I don’t know if you can make a deal.”

“The problem is I’ve empowered you (turning toward Zelenskyy) to be a tough guy, and I don’t think you’d be a tough guy without the United States. And your people are very brave. But you’re either going to make a deal or we’re out. And if we’re out, you’ll fight it out. I don’t think it’s going to be pretty, but you’ll fight it out. But you don’t have the cards. But once we sign that deal, you’re in a much better position, but you’re not acting at all thankful. And that’s not a nice thing. I’ll be honest. That’s not a nice thing.

“All right, I think we’ve seen enough. What do you think? This is going to be great television. I will say that.”

Stop deceiving people, you are not a Yoruba Muslim. See one of your posts unearthed below:

Biodun556:
If at all there is reduction, i think it is because FG imported 100s of thousands of bags recently

Nigeria shall be free from the bondage of international conspiracy. Tinubu refuses to introduce price control, insisting on market forces by increasing the supply side of the economy to force down the prices and it’s now yielding dividends.
Dangote has crashed the ex- depot price of pms to deal a crushing blow on the major marketers for their insistence on continued importation of refined petroleum products, despite local alternatives.

More that 3 functioning refineries with many more under construction[/quote]ODE TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU

You rose to transform the nation’s fate,
Fighting fuel subsidy fraud with unwavering weight,
Ending forex mismanagement with decisive might,
Lifting the economy with loans to light the way bright.

For students, you’ve paved a hopeful path,
With loans that grant dreams, unleashing their potentials,
Empowering consumers with credit to sustain,
While guiding local governments to break their chain.

In every home, power now flows,
Your leadership ensures that progress grows,
And in the north, where darkness once held sway,
Security improves with each passing day.

The ASUU strikes are no more,
Education thrives as students soar.
Even if the term ends without a second reign,
Alhamdulillah, I’ll never regret the gain.

Thank you, Asiwaju Akanbi, for all you’ve done,
Omo Olodo Ide, your legacy is second to none.
Omo Habiba, Baba Habiba, your guidance will remain,
Oko Yeye, Asiwaju Oluremi, your impact will sustain.

Mo dupe, Oodoju timi.
Endless gratitude from me to you.

T-pain don happened to this guy. E don turn to town crier

El-Rufai is not like that, he is either with you, to swim or sink and if he is not with you, he doesn’t pretend. I believe he is still with Tinubu when he said the following statement:
“PRESIDENT TINUBU NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIS LOPSIDED APPOINTMENTS. IT’S STILL NOT TOO LATE TO CORRECT IT, BUT THERE IS A PALPABLE ANGER IN THE NORTH.”
I perceive this statement as an olive branch which he has extended to the President for reconciliation. I urge the President and the leadership of the APC to reach out to him for a truce, before it’s too late.

Mike Ozekhome is now God’s Personal Assistant (PA), he is in a better position to determine who will make heaven, since his own fate is already confirmed.

DJInfluence:
We know PDP will win all seats.
Nonsense charade.
No respect for the rule of law.
Laws only applies to the common man.

Much ado about nothing. it’s efforts in futility. There are no vacancies at the local govts offices in Osun state. APC chairmen have already taken over the LG secretariats.
Owo ni koko. Since It’s the federal government that allocates money directly to the LG’s account, where will they get the money to spend? Osun is not like Lagos that can stand on its own without federal allocations.

Namesake32:
Tinubu should be very proud of himself

If It’s not an indication of huge improvement in the power supply, why have the Punch Newspapers not put other items, such as office furniture, official vehicles, office buildings, printing machines, etc, up for sale.
Truth be told, even in Ikeja, where I live, the use of generators is fast becoming a distant memory. I cannot recollect the last time I heard the sound of generators, except during the period of National grid’s collapse.

lamentor78:
I don't have problems with Sultan , but why will a particular tribe be head of all Muslims in the country for life , can't it be rotational , if Sultan dies tomorrow and another almajiri become sultan that means he will also be the leader of all Muslims.
I don't know why our former ethnic leaders just take nonsense from these northerners.
Can't an Igbo Muslim or Kogi Muslim be a leader or even Ilorin Muslim why must it be a Fulani .......are all of you brain suffering from stroke

I think you should have gone further to ask that
1. WHY IS IT THAT IT’S ONLY ONE FAMILY THAT IS RULING ENGLAND?
2. WHY WAS LADY DIANA KILLED BECAUSE THEY HATE HAVING ANOTHER RACE IN THEIR FAMILY?
3. WHY DID THEY REJECT MEGHAN MARKLE AS DAUGHTER -IN-LAW BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT BLACK RACE IN THEIR FAMILY?
I don’t understand why you like to use panadol for another person’s headache? If Nigeria’s Muslims accept the Sultan as their spiritual head, the same way the Yorubas accept the Ooni of Ife as their head, so be it.

Ilu da meji, t’ oba lawa o se. it means that when there is a division in the town, it is the King that would prevail.
I still cannot see the Tinubu that I know losing a re-election bid in 2027. There has always been a division, even the results of the 2023 presidential election indicate that there was a division in the core north.
What we are witnessing is a realignment of forces, due to Tinubu’s efforts to bring the minorities on board , as he has done in Lagos state.
Hardship being cited is incidental and everywhere, as a result of the economic reforms . It’s not intended or restricted to a particular group of people.

EmperorCaesar:
LASG is just like any other state in SW. They are at liberty to do whatever they so wish
Igbos, like Ijaws, Efiks, Hausas and others arent native to SW Nigeria, so why should only Igbos be added to the school curriculum and not the entire non-native languages?
You see your logic now? A very weak one

When a slave stays too long, he begins to challenge his master. The problem is that Yorubas are too liberal, that is why they claim that Lagos is no man’s land.
Is Abuja, Kaduna or Kano not cosmopolitan? Don’t they have Ohanaeze chapters in those states ? Why don’t they challenge the governments of those states?
It’s a ploy to spread the igbo language in order to eventually take over Lagos.

It’s true that South Africa is the world's largest platinum producer, producing more than twice as much as every other country on Earth combined. South Africa has three major platinum bearing areas, the Merensky Reef, the Upper Group 2 (UG2) Reef and the Platreef.

I admit that Public Officials should be accountable at all times, but where was Reuben Abati when Patience Jonathan, his former Principal’s wife, used N10billion to build 200- rooms Aridolf hotel in Bayelsa, which she donated as Covid-19 isolation centre?
Why did he not question the source of her money? This is selective criticism.

Renovation of mosques is what he knows will gladden the hearts of his people, and he is giving it to them.
