This is the Cordinator @elijahnoah8 being arrested by more than 5 fully armed police officers on Independence day. His only crime was coming to check out the start off point for the march. This is how undemocratic AkwaIbom state government under the APC has become. https://t.co/nHcN60nBKNpic.twitter.com/Duu6zml8Vt
IamPatriotic: I miss some aspects of the version of democracy we practised between 1999 and 2007. There was a certain level of decency, restraint and decorum in it.
Exactly. Honestly, aren't things supposed to get better for this blessed country?
Image123: Maybe for a little research in preparation, not the whole sermon. No life. Sermons should come from God, study and prayers. Not artificial intelligence sourcing the internet for information.
Best response to your question, op. Someone said sermons are just like any other talks. Totally untrue. Sermons are inspired by God's Spirit and that's why they transform lives. Ordinary sermons would also feel ordinary to listeners. No life. Nothing.
[quote author=seunmsg post=140674647]Rufai: There's evidence from the DMO that Peter Obi left N22 billion and $30 million as debts. Why didn't Obi declare them before now?
Obidient Movement National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko: I just read to you his statement and what he handed over.
Rufai: No, no. Why didn't he declare the debts before now?
Yunusa Tanko: He has already declared what he has, and he has made it public to every Nigerian. He didn't hide anything.
Rufai: No, the debt profile. Why didn't he declare these debts before now?
Yunusa Tanko: I'm sure when you meet Peter Obi, he will be able to answer all of your questions. You would have asked him directly on this particular matter.

hope data boys would rest now that RUFAI Oseni is "dealing with" Peter Obi? I've never seen any set of hypocritical beings like this demonic party of balablum.
Ride on Minister Wike. It's gladening to know that Jibrin and many other APC chieftains are now in the fold of Rainbow Coalition. Please Wike, Divide them the more please. It's time for the Senate president and his group to identify with us in the Rainbow Coalition or we do the needful 😂😀
Wike called APC Goverors Forum 419ers. He called them lazy & unfortunate. He said the governor of Kwara State is unfortunate. He is angry with Hope Uzodinma & AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq. APC should not provoke Wike, he’ll tell Nigerians what transpired in 2023. 😂 https://t.co/6D9SL73xEjpic.twitter.com/RH9mUGq446
Wike, I'm very happy about this. Please deal with all the so called APC governors like you dealt with Fubara; put fire in their states😂😂 Thank you for supporting Senator Natasha, the best senator ever from my senatorial district. In fact, I'll like to join your Rainbow Coalition only that I'm voting for Peter Obi. But I'll vote for your other candidates provided you'll deal with these 419ers.
Richtaiwo: From my personal observation, Peter Obi is not mentally sound. His public commentaries often raise serious questions about the coherence of his reasoning. Listening closely to many of his speeches, one sometimes encounters a striking gap between the sophistication of his references and the clarity of his conclusions.
He frequently invokes countries such as Bangladesh, China, India and the Netherlands as models of progress. One would therefore expect that, during his tenure as governor, he would have translated at least some of those lessons into practical policies at the state level. Yet, when pressed on such specifics, the conversation often descends into the familiar nanu nanu like wild monkeys.
Imagine the audacity! Between Peter Obi and the drvg Lord of Iragbiji who's more coherent and mentally stronger? Peter Obi isn't demented like balablu and he's never hiding from live interviews. Bring out your principal for a live interview like Peter Obi has been doing. Let's check who's truly mentally weak and deranged.
Lithiumite: The cabal was doing anything and everything to stop tinubu,obi was to serve as a counter weight in the south,they never expected atiku to loose the north.......obi did a good job according to plan.......obi wey no dey spend shishi nah him wan see billions campaign for elections.......LP members came out to accuse obi's campaign team of embezzling campaign funds......only govt has that kind of resources.
Atiku too is badly affected.
All of these are imaginary conjectures. Give us a verifiable evidence that Aso Rock funded Obi's Campaign in 2023. I can't even find newsworthy article online to support this. There's no Presidential candidate that enjoyed substantial donations especially from overseas like Peter Obi in 2023. And same will also happen next year. You guys should come up with convincing arguments to sell your drug lord's candidature. Propaganda wouldn't work anymore.
Lithiumite: Why is his momentum waning,if there is anyone that was expected to charge menacingly and clear anyone in his part,its obi.......the discussion as already far left him behind and he isn't even considered a contender anymore except in you guys head.
No cabal money anymore and no support from aso rock,start your campaigns lets see.......obi thats already considered to be giving tinibu a free ride back to aso rock.......tinubu needs him to help him shut out atiku in the SE and they both keep him out of the SS limiting atiku to the north where he will square up to him personally ,obi can also help neutralise atiku in the xtian north.
What's your evidence that Obi received support from Aso Rock in 2023? You're just capping dust with your bad grammar and poor spellings on steroids.
lexylaw09: Twelve Challenges That Disappeared From Nigeria Under Tinubu
ASUU Strike Non-payment of salaries Half salary (Hafusa) Fuel scarcity Crude oil theft Niger-Delta militancy Ogoni agitation Economic recession Dollar and FX scarcity Executive/Legislative face-off Budget padding Boko Haram attacks on Abuja Southern Kaduna impunity Police station attacks and closures in the SE
Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu is making steady progress in all spheres, but the opposition and their paid propagandists in the media will Arise to project only negative things to give you the impression that it is all doom and gloom.
But Nigeria just enjoyed a 4.43% GDP growth, which is double the global average. We also have the most profitable stock market on the planet, bar none, according to Bloomberg. The inflation rate, which was hovering at 30% on May 29, 2023, has halved, and our foreign reserves are now at an 18-year high of $54 billion.
Nigeria's GDP has added $67 billion in just two years, and we have moved from being the top petrol importer in Africa in 2023 to the number one fuel exporter in West Africa in 2026. This has enabled us to overtake South Africa to become the second-largest manufacturing capacity in Africa, with Egypt only slightly ahead of us.
As of the first half of 2026, Nigeria has experienced 23 consecutive quarters of uninterrupted GDP growth, and we are poised to have the strongest gains in the Naira since 2018, according to Bloomberg.
As a result of these economic strides, the IMF listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025, a fact celebrated by Elon Musk, the world's richest man.
Much still needs to be done, and it is being done. However, progress is evident, whether it is 1 million university undergraduates enjoying the NELFUND Student Loans or the expansion of the Nigerian Army from eight to twelve Divisions. The additional 4 divisions will increase Nigerian Army personnel by 28,000 troops.
The President also plans for Nigeria to recruit between 2,000 and 5,000 forest guards per state, depending on the state's landmass.
Nigeria will not overcome her challenges overnight. But under President Tinubu, we are overwhelming our issues over time.

You must've taken too much of burial ground weed. That's why you proudly wrote this.
jmoore: Using reported Nigerian prices for a 50 kg bag:
Year Approx. price per 50 kg bag ₦1,000,000 could buy
2014 ~₦1,745 retail 573 bags
2022 ~₦3,500 285 bags
2026 ~₦12,000–₦15,000 66–83 bags
How the calculation works
2014: ₦1,000,000 ÷ ₦1,745 ≈ 573 bags. A December 2014 report found cement selling around ₦1,745 per 50 kg bag in the market, although Dangote's announced factory prices were lower—₦1,000 for 32.5 grade and ₦1,150 for 42.5 grade.
2022: ₦1,000,000 ÷ ₦3,500 ≈ 286 bags. A survey reported that a 50 kg bag was selling for about ₦3,500 in 2022.
2026: By July 2026, reported retail prices were roughly ₦12,000–₦15,000 per bag, depending on producer and location. So:
₦1m ÷ ₦12,000 = 83 bags
₦1m ÷ ₦15,000 = 66 bags
The striking comparison
If we use those representative prices:
₦1 million in 2014 → ~573 bags ₦1 million in 2022 → ~286 bags ₦1 million in 2026 → ~66–83 bags
So, in terms of cement-buying power, ₦1 million buys roughly 7–9 times fewer bags in 2026 than it did in 2014.
RichDad1: The fact that Uba Sani actually give some sense of belongings to the people of southern Kaduna after several years of elrufai is something that will play a huge role in APC victory.
Yea, I personally appreciate that. Elrufai really messed up Kaduna by dividing it along religious and ethnic lines. But one thing you need to understand about the present northerners is that they sway to a side easily. It's cult-like kind of. And the current economic realities on ground have swayed the North from anything APC. I'll personally vote for Uba Sani, because he's cleaning up lots of mess. But Tinubu is realistically gone in the North. This I can say because I'm in the North.
HacheNoire: Very poor quality print and some minority believe he will deliver quality!
This is what you call “Akagum”
He can’t even opt for quality for his own campaign. Truck looking like a refurbished salvaged truck.
Rusty junk!
What even guarantees that the breaks of the truck are working? This is a disaster waiting to happen
The way you go about NL dishing out total garbage in the name of justifying your pay with so much confidence amazes me. Go back and read this your comment for instance, what value there's? Your paymaster is just so kind to you, otherwise you don't worth a penny like other data boys with little sense of logic and persuasion!
FSBoperator: Van Batten Okeke operates within Social media using his handles to spread sensational claims of progress on his own going lobbying.
A quick check of his social media account shows that only a handful of his followers on X and Facebook are from the US with the vast majority being from Nigeria.
His followership exploded following his lobbying deal with Atiku.
A casual review of his followers list shows most are from the SE part of Nigeria.
He has used both fringe Biafra seccesionist pages on Facebook and accounts on X to push his fake lobbying and to get followers of said pages to follow him back on his own handles.
He then posts sensationalist and totally fabricated ongoing progress reports on these handles for his gullible followers and from there get shoddy click bait online publications in Nigeria to publish his posts as facts.
This creates a further loop in spreading and giving his lies as being authentic.
He choses to use his alias Karl Marx Van Batten to portray himself as an American Washington based politician and lobbyist alongside his fake doctorate title to give himself credibility among his clients and his dumb followers.
It's all a scam.
His lobby firm operates from a suit in a Washington DC plaza and claims to have a retinue of highly experienced legal and policy analyst staff but his tax records shows he only has himself as the one on payroll and claims to outsource most of his work to outside lobby firms.
He is currently under investigation by the DoJ and FBI for operating under a charitable organisation linked to the Somali child daycare scam.
If he's that insignificant, why's Tinubu spending millions in filing a rebuttal?
yarimo: Bitter ones will soon invade this thread with insults and hateful comment against adeleke
Now Adeleke has become your hero, just this yesterday you called him a thief who would siphon for the next 4 years. You're a perfect picture of APC, very hypocritical.
flokii: Wike should be called to order.. he is risking the lives of Abuja residents through his reckless actions. Reports have it that all the drainage pathways and green areas in Abuja have been sold off by Wike and buildings are being erected in those areas. This is totally unacceptable and a recipe for disaster in future.. apart from flooding, earth tremors, earthquakes and other natural disasters can start happening. Let's not forget the climate change wahala, the global warming and melting of ice caps.
Wike should not endanger people's lives because of money. Abuja's master plan must be adhered to and all land approvals issued on the green areas in the FCT should be revoked. The unenlightened ones might be asking, is it not flood, what is the big deal?.. It's a big deal because it poses serious health risks and can spread life-threatening disease through spread of microbes, medical wastes, wastes from landfills and other harmful chemicals and substances that might be injurious to human health.
Instead of selling up all the lands in Abuja, neighboring border towns like Suleja, Dikko, Nasarawa, etc. should be opened up to investors and link roads built to those places. It doesn't make sense to build luxury in one place only to end up with tegrets when disaster hits. Safety first.
Nigeria's own is made worse by the fact that your governments, including this one, have not produced polices that would improve domestic production.
Yeah, tinubu needs to be voted out because of lack of productivity, which is worsening the stagnating wage problem, and petty coruption, which is not being combatted and is why the corper also got underpaid.
😀Now I understand the perspective you spoke from. I agree with you based on your last assertion 👍
