bentenny: Oh yes they can and you just mentioned one of them. If we don't reduce transport cost, similar imported products will be cheaper than local products!
You see how I proposed a viable solution, I just don't critic the FG I proffer what I would give the opportunity. It's however our duty to hold out state governors accountable because that is the true bane of our existence
Government should arrest any police officer that arest anybody that tries to help anyone to the hospital, wether the person later dies or alive .
This fear of police is primarily why people allow people to die.
The senate has banned the need for police report for gunshot wounds but hospitals and clinics keep demanding for this when an individual presents at the A&E with gunshot injuries.
It should be medical negligence for any doctor to reject a trauma or emergency patient who presents at their clinic and such should be charged immediately.
Is this one of the mountainous pedestrian bridges? ... weak heart ... HBP... and climbing?. with load? ... that's serious pressure on the heart. May her people locate her. Good of the person to snap and post her on SM ... hope someone ID her soon.
You forgot to add heat stroke, it's a serious load on a body which might have been suffering other undiagnosed ailments
geoworldedu: People that cannot even afford 2 meals daily will have money for checkups?
That last looking at her stature doesn't look like someone who has been struggling to eat twice daily.
She might also have underlying issue such as BP which many Nigerians don't know is an African condition (black people globally suffer from elevated BP) , could be suffering from Diabetes another peculiar disease that affects blacks globally disproportionately or Cardiac related issues that can be a silent killer.
HacheNoire: So people don’t die unattended to in other countries?
You wannabe’s always just finding the slightest excuse to rubbish your country.
When Carlton Weekly was shot in Chicago, he died due to heavy wounds and slow response which family confirmed that he could have made it. CPR or whatever did not even get administered but wannabe’s won’t point that out. Their country is always the target.
I know of people who have died from cardiac related issue very suddenly, the reality is these things are 50/50 when they strike it's the duty of everyone to pay attention to their bodies and do something once they feel something is not right.
Juliette5803: Nigeria is the worst place to live in emergency situations, no ambulance, no CPR , no defibrillator. This is reminding you that your chances of survival can be negatively impacted by the stupidity of the people around you That woman has probably 30 minutes of life left in her........but we will rather bring out our phones to create content for viewership
The fact is most Nigerians have no knowledge of CPR, cardiac related deaths are dangerous because the signs are silent until it's too late.
Why is Tinubu, Buhari and APC borrowing more than PDP presidents, even though the economy is sinking with high unemployment, hyperinflation, low productivity etc leading to more insecurity from idle people?
What other reason apart from worse corruption by the pretentious politicians of Oshiomole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC?
@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@
You've still managed to disprove my statements.
I guess logical conversations are a difficulty for you. I've made statements based on facts not hoe I feel but facts.
bentenny: Nice one! Also include security,low transport cost etc
The FG can't influence transport costs intra-state without going back to the dark days of subsidy.
However by making a special fund available or backing financing for state governments that want to implement mass transit as we see in Lagos they can do this.
Also with their revival of inter-state rail service by the NRS they can influence cost of transit across the country.
But it has to be mass transit, rail metro line and large volume bus systems like BRT
donself9: What did the economist expert know that is reflective except untold hard
Now the IMF is talking about, govt undervaluing the naira instead of it true ...lets ask ourselves who are those spending in dollars and storing looted funds in dollar, If $ is 1130 buh govt feign sleep nd leave it at 1300 ... Who are the Big beneficiaries
It will be an Insult to common intelligence, if you can assert Tinubu reform brought $ down to 1130 at these time .. cos we know the impact of Us - iran war, we are not gullible
If you must insist Tinubu reform is responsible please go into detail which policy
The dollar exchange was already trending downwards before the conflict started, I exchange FX multiple times weekly so I can state factually the trajectory of the Naira.
The biggest cause of these would be the stoppage of fuel subsidy and the Dangote effect. Nigeria has also been recorded positive trade balance both in value and volume.
Bosman17: No… it’s not oil production, the govt is intentionally slowing down inflation… many people don’t know government also needs a bit of inflation for balance of trade!
Spot on but why do individuals who are illiterate on economic, fiscal and monetary policies keep making daft statements like the multitude we've already seen in this thread.
Many don't even understand the rudiments of inflation beyond the price of rice and garri in an informal market where price control and consumer protection is absent
Rabiu of BUA was spot on some months back when he claimed that naira would be 1200/dollar within a few quarters. These major investors have strategic analyst that help advise on borrowings, expenditure planning so they have extended view of economic conditions that most of us don't ; they have international lenders that they are accountable to.
anonimi: So why is corruption and looting more prevalent now than when we had cheap petrol and cheap dollars with low unemployment and high productivity?
Why is Tinubu borrowing more than previous presidents despite billions of dollars savings from subsidy removal?
Oga it's terribly unfair to suggest corruption and looting at the federal level is higher in 2023 than ever, what we have is higher level of public scrutiny and public engagement, prior to January 2012 occupy Nigeria protest 99.5% of Nigerians had never heard the words fuel subsidy, they weren't aware that billions was being stolen by NNPC, fuel importers and all sorts of individuals in the sector,
Prior to 2017/18 WAEC couldn't account for the fees paid by students to undertake examination, when Buhari adminstration attempted to audit the previous 10 years under PDP an administrator in the NC office claimed a "snake had swallowed the money"
Under Buhari and leading into this Tinubu adminstration the customs service now remits funds into the consolidated accounts, it was only in recent years that we have started implementing the TSA in a handful of government departments even though it came into law under GEJ, and it was only in the last year that this Tinubu adminstration had the balls to challenge the lack of audit of NNPC all through the PDP year and as far back as the military era CBN as not submitted an audited report as mandated by law to the senate oversight committee.
Shall I continue to list the number of incidents of blatant robberies Nigerians were subjected to that we are only just becoming sensitized to.
It now our collective duty to keep track of our common public purse, insist on accountability and apply appropriate but reasonable pressure.
Must I also denounce strongly this false narrative this administration has incurredore debt when the opposite is the reality, the Buhari adminstration , and CBN under Emefiele engaged in financial fraud writing off FG debt but failing to declare said debt, monies were borrowed and government bonds issued fraudulently without them being reflected, it was when Tinubu got into government that JP Morgan came clean to let us know that contrary to what Emefiele said about the country being in the green we had gone past red and on the brink of being insolvent add to this the currency devaluation is what has influenced the numbers you see.
But I'm glad because now we can say with confidence we know our situation and if honest and diligent can orchestrate how to dig ourselves out of this great big hole.
Godspowerpro: On a Boeing 777. In 2014. With military satellites. With ocean tracking systems. With the combined intelligence resources of multiple superpowers.
Not sure.
That should bother you a bit.
Because as a lover of technology, it tells me that there are still limits to our human technology, science and knowledge.
It tells me that the air and ocean is older and deeper and more powerful than our technology.
What if they were taken by aliens?
There are still things on this earth and the universe at large far beyond our knowledge and understanding as humans.
It teaches me to be humble and to never stop seeking for knowledge. We don’t know it all and can never know it all.
239 is not just a number today. It is 239 individual heartbeats that stopped somewhere over dark water on a Friday night, and every single one of those heartbeats had a name, a face, a home, a person who loved them and has been waiting for an answer that has not come.
The world may have moved on. As the world always does. New things to talk about online and react to and forget.
But somewhere in Beijing tonight, a wife still sleeps on one side of a bed.
Somewhere in Malaysia, a child has grown up with a photograph instead of a father.
Somewhere at the bottom of the southern Indian Ocean, in water so cold and so dark that no human hand has ever touched it, may lie the answer to one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of our time.
And the world, busy and distracted and endlessly moving as it is, has not yet found it.
Maybe one day it will.
Maybe one day a ship will lower something into that darkness and pull up the truth.
Until then, the story of Flight MH370 remains exactly what it has always been.
A plane that took off on a Friday night.
239 people who trusted the sky.
And a silence so deep that ten years later, the whole world still has no answer to give to the families who are still asking.
What happened to the passengers on Flight MH370?
What do you think could have happened to them?
I hope we find the answer someday.
We know more about space than we do the ocean. Only in 2026 has the marine science world witnessed a giant squid alive in the ocean, all samples ever seen were washed up dead.
Many animals have still never been seen alive nor their live cycle understood.
The titanic has only been seen in it's resting place by a handful of people who lived to tell the tale. Marianna trench is still a great big unknown and there might be even deeper sections of the ocean.
By 2015, it had risen to N18,000 that could buy much more than N70,000 today. We also had less unemployment, which means that the people in jobs didn’t have to share their income with their jobless relatives and friends.
There has never been a time that Nigeria had less unemployment than we have today, more than 60% of Nigerians across the country work in informal employment, an even higher number estimated at over 80% are functionally underemployed and lack a consistent defined earnings.
Less than 30% pay into a PAYE, insurance fund or pension fund.
Please let go of this grand nostalgia, what we had in between the 1999 and 2015 and even up till 2023 was a false reality that was dependent on corrupt money washing down in tid bits.
Nigerians now have the opportunity to rewrite their story along a path that can lead to collective growth but that path is full of thorns and nestles but it's a path we must cross every other nation we look up to crossed that path, the Americans, china Malaysia Singapore.
We can't keep living a lie of subsidy and market disparity.
anonimi: Na so o. The good old days when we had prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol and less debt burden.
All these things changed for worse when Tinubu went to Kaduna and begged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president in 2015.
This was just four years after master strategist Jagaban of Borgu called the same Buhari expired old soldier.
Why do you think that Tinubu did this for his fellow northerner Buhari
The minimum wage was also 3000 naira if I recollect so what exactly was so glamorous about it if one must subject it to reason. Petrol has never been cheap Nigerians just didn't pay the true price at the pumps you paid for it in underdevelopment in all other facets of public life.
There was also flippant armed robbery, although kidnapping outside of some incidents along the SE corridor was non existent.
trytillmake: See as Germany get ball,.one touch dem score na so that yeye Adingra suppose do, what a miss, do African teams lack good coaches are we using mediocre coaches..cause see England and USA with world class coaches, see as their teams have improved.
Well core divore go still qualify sha
The reality is many of these players are not technically developed but what they have is talent that is why they collapse as the reached it's final 15-25 minutes
Poor discipline strikes again. I knew it was inevitable when kessie and co were wasting good chances in front of goal to go 2 up.
These guys in the midfield are to blame for both goals, they left their player with too much time to pick a well weighted pass
Same thing with Senegal against France, they have the energy but lack the discipline as the game enters it's final 30minutes and that has been the curse of most sub Sahara Africa teams in the previous world cups.
winterfell007: Chai!!! That means we all accused this woman falsely of stealing 20billion dollars. She should sue this yeye government for defamation of character.
She stole money the efcc were just useless at gathering evidence and the UK were reliant on the piss poor efcc witness that was contradicting himself in the stands.
The trial of Deziani should have involved Kla Aluko and the othe Kogi fellow
Eriokanmi: Awe, you forgot to include our position in africa today, from 1st or largest economy now to fifth. I entered America this week and i was like...wow! We're so sleeping and snoring under Tinubu's administration in Nigeria. We're not making any progress at all and no thanks to his gullible supporters. The last time i came here was September last year. Between September and now, America isn't the way I left it, just in a space of less than one year oo.
The moment I entered, no more scanning of passport at the self service kiosk. They've moved them all away. Once you arrive, you proceed to the CBP. Usually,they'd ask me where am I going, where am I staying and how long...as the cbp was asking me where would I be staying, I told him pls, one sec. As I was trying to pull out the hotel details from my phone, he just told me everything on the system, including my hotel name . To say na before, I go show am my booking and he'd look at the printed paper. They don't do that anymore Also, it was AI that called me in my hotel room the previous day when the breakfast was ready. As soon as it was done talking, it hung up. AI's voice can be detected. Its not as clear or as bold as human voice. It's faint somehow. As if that wasn't enough, I saw a driver-less car at 2 different locations today. Only passengers were inside, no driver. Its in major cities in the US, unlike some selected states as it was before.
Back home, our government has turned us into a lame duck. I started feeling America from dubai where Emirates lodged me in their hotel due to long layover. A ti wa rogo ni naija bayii. Leadership is our major problem and tribalism isn't even also helping anything. Too sad!
Nigeria was never really the largest economy in Africa, that ranking was a farcical and collapsed when exposed to the the slightest pressures of the two recessions suffered under Buhari.
The economy became the biggest under GEJ when his government re-based the economy but with the reality of worker wages unpaid, pension arrears, fuel subsidy bill ballooning, Fx subsidy, we were living a lie.
Nigeria is now approaching it's reality now, we can then plan for the future if truly we can be honest and disciplined
fergie001: You are being emotional, calm down! 😂 Now I understand your issue that the Appeal Court was wrong, so allow those who lost go to Supreme Court as they said they will nah.
You are now contradicting yourself.
The defence never gave a reasonable account why they may suffer irreparable damage, when is Ekiti election again? The Accord Candidiate was refused a joinder, it's not irreparable damage.
Adeleke whose election is August is not irreparable damage? These people have a direct interest and you say they shouldn't join the suit.
When you see evil, say it......don't disguise. 1. This suit was against the ADC & 2 Ors
2. Midway, they added APP, Accord, ZLP, etc
3. The AGF who was a defendant, turned himself to been plaintiff.
4. Llifu denied Adeleke from joining the suit.
5.. Lifu himself said iif he got the enrolled order from a higher Court he will halt proceedings .
6. On May 20, Lifu fixed judgement for June 5.
7. On May 22, Appeal Court found merit in Adeleke's appeal and ruled.
8. Forum of Legislators learnt of the judgement & said they will head to the Supreme Court.
9. On June 5, Lifu refused to give judgement and suspended ruling indefinitely.
10. He gave his perverse judgement.
In all of these, you hold the Appeal Court responsible, you must be an interested party to say Adeleke has no jeopardy or sufficient interest.
You are still not speaking the truth just joining all the parties in their rascality . My lord justice Lifu, the plaintiffs, defence and the supreme court justices all failed in their duty.
But the stay of proceedings was inappropriate because it doubled down on an inappropriate run of play.
The appeal court should never have assisted in arresting an high court judgement no matter how faulty the process is given the constitution gives the parties involved the access to the same apllelate court to seek redress and review of a judgement at a lower court.
That there is my arguement , you'll see I have not faulted the stay of execution pending the review of the appeal court, the parties if still not satisfied can proceed to the SC.
But it seems that the legislative council thou as citizen have the locus to petition INEC as to their regulatory duties in deregistration of parties that fall foul of the law are engaging in rascality by approaching the SC when there is no substantive appeal court judgement on the matter at hand.
Did you see any of this coming in at the first half?
They lost focus and also lost the ball while trying to transition in the middle of the park far too often.
Their number 3 was also asleep and should have been more alert for the first two goals.
Nicholas Jackson should also have done better, he kept doing same thing and didn't come short to hold the ball and link up for the wide players he was rather trying to play off the last man which was good but he should have broken up the rhythm by making different runs.
Zonefree: Same sentence should be extended to the actual terrorists rather than the 'rehabilitation and reintegration' program.
I think while the rehabilitation program is unsettling many don't understand the legal process that lead to it and how it differs from this case.
The FG in my opinion did something wrong when it offered an amnesty program which allowed some ex BH members an avenue to escape the gallows, Nigeria is not the first to use this program and it had done same in Niger delta something I was also against fundamentally because it's a sign of technical surrender.
The Nigerian state should enforce a policy of non negotiation with militants and bandits of all sort across the nation and show it's absolute capacity to visit maximum violence on militancy and armed criminality of all sorts.
The idea of politically orchestrated soft landing is offensive to the victims of banditry, criminality and terrorism
AMINDA: Except that the parties all met the constitutional requirements as attested to by INEC itself. In spite of these, the Litigants, having realised that they had no locus standi, sought to amend their case without an Order of court. And they were granted leave to do so by Justice Lifu which was procedurally wrong. It was this anomaly that was appealed and the Appeal Court rightfully ordered for a stay until the appeal was heard on its merit. Only for justice Lifu to still go ahead to deliver judgement. All these are a travesty and is clearly being done to appease a paymaster somewhere. This is the justicial rascality that you lot support today after running on June 12 sentiments. All these are being documented and posterity will be the ultimate judge.
The appeal court still faulted by providing a stay when the judgement had been set to be heard, they should have waited for the judgement, issued a stay of judgement allows all injured parties to appeal and if they see fit vacate the judgement of the high duty based on the technicality you have sons observed.
You are trying ot argue that an irresponsible judicial action by the high court in allowing the prayers by the legislative council be altered should be followed by another travesty which is a stay of proceedings when a judgment was to be read.
If the leads to an indefinite induction, please do tell how does that help the judicial process
So a superior Court gives an order, and the Judge should flout it. It is at the discretion of that Court, right or wrong but once they give that order, it should be obeyed.
So since the judgement was given, what should have happened? Are you aware the same Forum of Legislators have already filed their suit at the Supreme Court before Lifu's judgement? That is to say, they recognised the judgement and are preparing to challenging it, yet the Judge didn't want to entertain same.
The NJC will discipline Appeal Court Judges then leave the man who flouts the hierarchy of the Courts? What is the injury the Forum will suffer for filing the suit? The onus is on the plaintiff to show cause why. The plaintiff cannot show, they are former and are not even contesting, they should be heavily fined.
You haven't even asked for once: Why did Accord file an interlocutory appeal? An interlocutory appeal was entered May 1st week. He was now asked to hands off the case, this was Lifu's statement as at May 20, 2026.
The case has been suspended till further notice. Lifu is a well-known HouseForHire Judge.
You have still failed to give a reason why the appeal court would seek to arrest a judgement that was already assigned a date with a stay of proceedings when the prayers had been heard and the "proceedings" had been all but concluded.
The legislative council has a locus as Nigerian citizen to petition INEC as to why the electoral laws was not being followed per party registration and or deregistration, what they can't interfere with is party organisation and activity if they are not members of that party, a political party is otherwise considered a public entity, and in this case INEC is the first respondent not ADC, Accord etc.
The appeal court ideally should have dismissed the request for stay of proceedings and allowed the high court to rule, then grant a stay of execution pending appeal by the injured parties.
The NJC has already faulted the use of stays of proceedings to arrest the judicial process, congesting the courts, delaying the legal process and forestalling progress so why any sane Nigerian would advocate for the continuation of the most serious matter that undermines judicial practice is something that baffles me.
Also the supreme jury can dismiss any entreaties by the legislative council because they also have no reason to seek redress as no appeals court judgement had been offered, all parties in this case are doing what the politically exposed have done to rubbish our judicial process, and it's the duty of the presidents of the respective courts and the NJC to enforce discipline and show courage.
fergie001: The Supreme Court has been emphatic, that a judgement is the finality of a legal proceeding (the reason and order) must be read by the Judge in open Court ( see Ikedi Ohakim vs Rochas Okorocha). Unless that has happened, reserved or no reserved, written addresses or no written addresses, no judgement has taken place.
The questions to ask is: Does a judgement that has been reserved or final written addresses taken, said to be the final ruling of a suit? The answer is a direct NO.
Now pray tell me what is ambiguous in stay all further proceedings until the determination of the appeal? All actions temporarily are on hold, When the judgement is read, it becomes functus officio but this is not the situation.
Now it begs us to ask, what defines a proceeding?
Proceeding: In a general sense, the form and manner of conducting judicial business before a Court or judicial officer, regular and ordered process in form of law, including all possible steps in an action from its commencement to the execution of judgment (Black Laws Dictionary)
Proceeding: the word may be used synonymously with action or suit to describe entire course of an action at law or suit on equity from the issuance of the writ or filing of the complaint until the entry of final judgment.. per Ogunbiyi JCA (as she then was) Bello Vs Attorney -General of Lagos
So, it is clear from the foregoing that Lifu is a Judicial rascal.
Akpakomiza2 politics today Truths9ja
Listen to your irrational statement, how can an appeal court review a judgement that had not been read and therefore a certified true copy not been issued by the clerk. Just admit that stay of proceedings was against judicial discipline.
The appeal court should never have stayed the proceedings because the defence never gave a reasonable account of why they may suffer irreparable jeopardy if the judgement for which they date had been set came to be delivered as scheduled.
The stay of execution however is in order as that is legitimate to stop irreparable damage if the parties were to be deregistered as is the case for Accord who have elections in a very short window
smallsmall: Let us assume the bolded is true. In such case, the lower Judge would simply tell the Parties that a Higher Court, has taken over the Case and let the Parties report to the Higher Court.
That aside, the Higher Court's STAY, means STAY, a lower Court cannot over-rule it by deliberating on the same matter, for whatever reason
The high court had stopped deliberation when the stay was granted. The only thing left was to read the judgement and a date had been set
smallsmall: No, it is not going back. Lifu may even face disciplinary procedure, for abusing the Court process and bringing it to disrepute Once a Higher Court rules on a Case, it should not go back to the lower Court. In the current case, the ruling is "a Stay", so it is not a final ruling. But the formerlly existing ruling of the Appellate Court, has made any ruling after it by Judge Lifu lower Court, Null and Void.
Judge Lifu just wasted Tax Payers Money on Judicial Rascality, as my Lord has said.
The appeal coirt never ruled on the case, it gave a stay of proceedings. I think Nigerians need some basic civic education of law so they don't come online to say stupid stuff.
That stay of proceedings should never have been granted by the appeals courts as the judgement date had been set and the proceedings had ended.
It's a judicial rascality we've seen deployed by the politically exposed to arrest judgements and to delay justice.
fergie001: Very untrue. The hieripf the courts remain unchallenged. Lifu is a judicial rascal. The Appeal Court said so. Again, he didn't slate June 15. He adjourned twice to June 15, even if he was to deliver the next day, he must obey superior Courts.
You didn't do your research well. Look down, you will see those parties you mentioned joined to the suit.
You are confusing a stay of proceedings with a stay of execution. One is before the fact the other after.
By the time the appellate court gave a stay of proceedings on may 22 the prayers of both the parties had been heard and both had closed their cases and a date for judgement had been set, from what I understand nobody at that stage can hold the judgement hostage.
In fact I find the idea of a stay of proceedings unjustifiable as anyone who seeks justice must want legal proceedings to clear the courts ASAP rather than these permanent arrest of court procedures using funny contradictory judgements.
What is the purpose of the stay of proceedings in this case if not to arrest any further movement in a case where all prayers had been heard. All parties have the opportunity to take any distress from the high court judgement to the appellate courts so why try arrest the high court judgement, what was the period granted for which the stay would be implemented and what then happens after the stay is vacated by time as a stay can't be permanent it's only meant to be used where there is irreversible jeopardy if the judgement is implemented while an appeal is ongoing.
What is the permanent jeopardy at hand if the high court judgement is implemented, what has happened now is the proper way to arrest jeopardy which the parties find themselves is what they have now which is a temporal stay of execution of any judgements while the parties seek redresss at the appellate court.
The NJC needs to discipline those appeal court judges for granting a stay of proceedings in an high court case where the judgement date had been set.
Drfernandez: I wonder when people will understand that Grok - like any AI chatbot - is not always correct and that the results it produces any given time, which it can also change within a twinkle of an eye, are human entries. For example, if you, the nobody reading this comment now, should make an entry that you are the new president; especially doing so for a repeated number of times, Grok will automatically assume you are.
Oga USC doesn't have such s program if it did you'll see it on their website.
Pious101: Are U asking of what use is a model which he has observe?
If U had listen with open mind U will know that he is stating that going to prison shouldn't being the end of ones career, ambition or desire of what one should be.
He is stating that institution create an avenue where ex-convict who have been rehabilitated can also work within an environment without stereotype.
Now as a presidential candidate who have studied d model, he intend to introduce such a system in Nigeria.
Oga the Nigerian open university has been accepting current and ex convicts for years. So we actually have a medium for such
