It takes someone with absolutely no iota of reasoning and sensibility to campaign rigorously for the re-election of Bola Tinubu

But it is mental insanity to vote for any of the opposition without them making clear what they intend to do when I government.

I want to know if they would reverse the tax reform policy of this government
Would they bring back a multiple exchange window
Would they enact constitutional reform that allows the governors to spend LGA money without review
Would they discontinue the student loans
Would they discontinue the Lagos Calabar roads or Sokoto Badagry roads,, or do they intend to revesee the concession agreements

I want to know their economic principles
Would they returned us to fuel subsidy via repeap or update to the PIA act
What do they have planned

FuckFuckPastor:
I am Yoruba and Peter Obi is who I’m rooting for. Anyone that doesn’t like it should hit their head on the ground.

Ewo tún ní beautiful Yoruba women.
I didn't know that there was a precondition for voting choice, Nigerians evidently don't believe in democracy because why should the individual electoral choice of a voter be subjected to this much identify politics

Willy2025:
What was he thinking? Kwankwaso is superior to him in all ramifications. He is a wealth creator yet he couldn't create the wealth for his brothers and sisters, who are tarnishing the name of the country in India and other Asian countries.

I have personally met two Nigerians from Kano who both have PHd and at least another with a masters degree who are working in stem and or lecturing in stem in European universities who are the beneficiaries of Kwankwaso scholarship and I've been told he sponsored people in their thousands who are in similar positions, that's more than Obi can ever claim he has done.

smallsmall:
His ground is with INEC, not with NDC or was it NDC that refuse to register his Party?
This is likely another "OK" distraction by orchestrated behind the scenes by APC

It's in NDCs interest to be joined into the case, they can even seek to be joined into the case as any conclusions in the judgement would affect them.
They can then defend the claim that their party was properly registered according to law

udemzyudex:
You go dey yarn dust, did APC not win ibadan in 2023 because of him? Did APC win it in 2019?

Ibadan would have voted APC regardless. Those ones no get joy ooh

happney65:
Now that Seyi is no longer a part of them and he wants to put a dagger into Tinubu's SW votes. Hope you won't be playing ogunde's song for him?

Seyi would be dealt with in due time . He'll either flee Nigeria or end up in EFCC, all the wealth he has been amassing and the lands he has been stealing in Oyo through executive fiat would be recovered in due time

Owontime:
4 are still friends.

Dem don all scatter since

Richtaiwo:
God bless president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
God bless SW SS NC NE and NW

Bros nah 6 zones we get for Nigeria

Freshtruth:
Kwankwaso right hand man just just posted this picture on is page this morning


Confirmation Kwankwaso has agreed to be peter obi running mate.


Omo Kano 1.9m votes already in the bag ist


This one loud o

Kwankwaso only got 900k votes on Kano in 2023, I don't know where you got 1.9m from

WorkTheTalk:
Stop spreading fake news from the democrats. They would always look for ways to criticize Trump's administration.

Some aircraft losses and damage during the conflict appear to be acknowledged generally in congressional discussions and media reporting, but the exact number remains unverified.

There is currently no official publicly released Pentagon casualty/loss report confirming “39 aircraft destroyed.”

Also, “aircraft” does not necessarily mean only fighter jets. It may include drones, helicopters, transport aircraft, surveillance planes, and damaged aircraft counted as losses.

Oga stop the willy wonka nonsense 39 flying assets of varying types have been lost, the E3 sentry that has its tail and rear fuselage destroyed is worth more than any fighter jet in operation, none of the American air assets within that region would be non tactical and relatively important, we are not talking about small look out the window small piston engine surveillance aircraft they'll use to track wildlife or narco activities in the jungled it's most likely fast flying high Res camera equipped tactical surveillance aircraft.

More than one F35 has been lost and that says a lot, I'm certain the unseen hand of the Chinese and Russians especially is involved on these because no one would have assumed the Iranian have enough anti-air capacity for this.

givedemwotowoto:
The money has been disbursed for reelection campaign.

After election, they’ll impose more tax to recover the borrowed money.

Nigerians will see shege x5 if they don’t fight to remove this tyrant from office.

Did you even read the piece by Olisah Abakogba correctly, he is actually accusing agencies of failing to remit to the FG therefore his is actually corruption by civil servants rather than politicians, this is a major issue in Nigeria and it's actually the ineptitude of the legislature who should have some oversight that is causing this.

The SAN also failed to expand on the component os waste that is recorded to state and local governments, it actually an issue of accounting that the SAn concluded on with his statements about the TSA and the FG reconciliation of their accounts

LagosOrigin:
The international community are fully aligned with Peter Obi as the next president of Nigeria and this is good for our country .

Peter Obi is already getting the attention and respect of the world leaders even before 2027, this is sign of good things to come for Nigeria under his able leadership .

This is a positive sign for Nigeria

It's the Peter Obi confidence for me, he's got the confidence of Iroko tree . Biggest force 💪

He'll first have to win at the polls.

smallsmall:
His ground is with INEC, not with NDC or was it NDC that refuse to register his Party?
This is likely another "OK" distraction by orchestrated behind the scenes by APC

I think he has taken INEC to court and joined NDC as a respondent. It would be in the interest of NDC to be joined otherwise any judgement in court would be without their input.

lordm:
I no understand, even though I don't support NDC but how does the party concern him ?

His argument is that NDC was registered illegally while his party which fulfilled all the requirements was not registered.
He unfortunately has a ground for action as NDC being a political party a public entity

richgang:
Hello everyone, if you have the opportunity to choose between using 30 Million naira to relocate to UK or to stay back in Nigeria and invest the 30 Million Naira . Which would be your preferred option?

30M which is less than £25,000 pounds wouldn't get you far in UK if you can't secure annual income over £45000 within 3 months. And this can only guarantee the bare minimum standards of living.

Rent in most major UK cities where top jobs and opportunities are would be at least £1000-2000.

Then factor in your council taxes, car insurance, food and other running costs, you'll be living just above the poverty line. If you have young kids and need to secure crèche or baby sitting services you can add 500-1000 pounds monthly to that.

Abeg japa is dead on arrival in 2026, if you must leave Nigeria in 2026 please do so as a professional with a job secured before leaving Nigeria, you'll likely have your accomodation covered by your employer or subsidised

Someone forgot to tell Obi who Seriaki Dickson is, his national political presence started with AC under the leadership of Bola Ige, Bisi Akande, Osoba and Tinubu. He is also part yoruba from Ijebu.

I hope this doesn't end in tears

Gbadugbakun:
You guys can't win the winner of PSG and Bayern. Arsenal won Atletico yesterday because ATM is currently a below average team.

Athletico deserved at least one penalty call if not two lady night, I found the officiating to have been poor yesterday it just so happens that the teams involved had emotionally disciplined players otherwise it could have gotten very heated

bigpicture001:
Tinubu asks Hamzat to be the next governor, tinubu tells Ayade,he will not go for Senate, tinubu tells Elliot he will not go for another term ..

Is this one democracy? This is exactly what tinubu wants ;to control every political position in Nigeria...

Did you even read the write op.
Tinubu is actually distancing himself away from the decision, the stakeholders in suurulere have decided not to support Elliot and Tinubu has refused to override them or force himself on them.

TruthsFM:
The children are taking over. We will accept Seyi Tinubu in 2031 but not now. We Yorubas are very sensitive. People are still hostile with Obasa for manipulating his son to become the giant Agege LGA Chairman 🤣

You've left out a big number of people I personally know who are kids of former politicians

Ibori daughter is a serving federal legislator
Dapo Lam Adesina is actively in politics
Akeredolu son Rotimi is actively in politics and had appointments under his father

The list of those I know is very long

anonimi:
Irú afrojuju propaganda revisionist wo níyẹn?

Jagaban of Borgu is the one who betrayed Yoruba people to favour his fellow northerners while telling us that Jonathan marginalised Yorubas.

Now I know you don't know anything about the Mulikat saga and how Bola Tinubu was told pointedly by Yoruba elders not to support that move by GRJ because it was a trick.
The matter was addressed I believe by baba Bisi Akande, it wasn't even a Tinubu decision it was an Afenifere decision.

Jonathan intention was to use Mulikat as a Trojan horse

anonimi:
How is it still the southerners turn when we would have been president for 17 years and the northerners only for 11 years by 2027?

Why did Tinubu make Jonathan a one term president in 2015, in favour of Buhari whom he called expired in 2011 when he helped Jonathan destroy the north-south tribalistic zoning and rotation system?

What would make a new southern president do only a term of four years instead of two terms of his own eight years?

Jonathan set his bed and laid in it. He was assisted to become president by Tinubu after Yar'adua died; it was the pressure from SW that lead to the doctrine of necessity that made him emerge as president. In 2011 it was same SW and NC that assisted him to win that election when you look at the voting pattern but what did he do immediately after, he declared himself the candidate representing the interest of the SE promoted his identity as Ebele Azikiwe and declared war on the SW leadership.

We don't forget his actions with Obanikoro easily the Ekiti fiasco and his decision to relegate and sideline the SW in his cabinet and with Federal appointments, he also agreed with the Northern elements in PDP to run only one term and the attempt to use presidential might at th e primaires in 2014 to which Atuku and Saraki walked out on him while he was speaking and formed the NPDP culminating in the creation of APC by fellow disgruntled elements

HacheNoire:
Irrespective of picture source! Jide will be the last APC governor in Lagos!

Can’t you see the decay? What are you celebrating?
What continuity are you seeking for and in what sectors?

It’s a mess and you still celebrating it? What exactly are you celebrating?

Evidently not a Lagos indigene, the lagosians I've spoken with are satisfied with the prospect of Hamzat the vast majority.

We'll be here when he wins, go cry me a river

HacheNoire:
Babajide Sanwo-Olu would be the last APC Governor in Lagos state!

Hazmat should save his money and channel it into cat fish farming!

No way APC will get a win in 2027! Lagosians are now wiser and demand better!

Comot with this your AI pictures

1vandragon:
Every analysis gives room for averages. And it is the same way living conditions in borno differ significantly from that in Abuja, yet the burden of taxes is burden equally.

Only in Nigeria do we have not adequately progressive taxes. Even in USA the land of Ultra capitalism their taxation is more liberal and progressive.

So we need to make corrections to that.

1vandragon:
Since it is done in normal countries, let the government approve and pay wages commensurate with those normal countries.

Average minimum wage in Europe is €1000 p/m, that is about N1,500,000. When the government in nigeria begins paying its workers that amount as minimum wage, then your opinion might begin to make sense.

I'm not averse to the idea of increase in living wages of the common plebeians in Nigeria, please note I am not using the term or idea of a minimum wage.

In Europe I noticed you used ten term average, but when individuals discuss wages in European Union which is a peculiar organisation in terms of trade, movement of individuals across a vast range of nations with different languages, economic realities and social standards their is a failure ti articulate the deviation across those areas.

The standard of living on Europe across localities ,regions and countries is wild for instance the living standards and conditions in Basque country in Spain can be wildly different from other areas such as Catalunya, in Italy living conditions on parts of Sicily can be contrasted against metropolitan areas such Time and Madrid.

Portugal is vastly different to France Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway Belgium etc

That is why Europe is very tricky subject but one thing that is common across all these states as agreed at the European legislative assembly is taxation standards and common interests policies, te EU dictate everything in its member and observer nations the lost important being interest rates, each nation has its central bank which is in turn regulated by the EU central bank.

So you see that real governance is no child's play, and its time Nigeria drop the kiddie toys and stand up to be counted, the years of populist policies that undermine the same population in the long run should end forthwith.

Margaret Thatcher fought the unions, snatched free milk from the poor kids in school but the years free we saw rapid middle and upper class growth, many people who were willing to graft also gt pulled up in the tide the lazy unfortunately sank.

discusant:
Lol. They would tell us price of petrol is cheapest in Nigeria than in Europe and America.
But they wouldn't tell us the fact that every working European can afford the price of petrol and have excess to save for yearly holidays after paying rent or mortgage.

Not every working European can afford the price of petrol, I'd know this after spending 3/4 of my life in Europe some 3 decades now.

There has been protests in many European countries recently over the petrol prices, the yellow vest protests have been ongoing in France going multiple years now. Right through the fuel crisis in the 70s there were disruptions so pls cute yourself in of the ignorance.

Most people in Europe live just above the nominal poverty line, there has been vast inflation and cost of living crisis is very real in many countries around Europe, through the 2008 recession there were a lot of suicides because people just couldn't sustain the realities that their lives were falling before their eyes.

SeriouslySense:
At the rate its going i wont be surprised if tax for certain things increase to 40% or 50%.

These are your leaders, always copy what is bad. We are not Uk, yet want to tax like UK.

When taxes are too much people cannot grow wealth, so this is what your leaders want, for their citizens to remain poor or average while your Leaders are the only ones who can grow wealth and oppress their subjects. The taxes are also going to your leaders, they pay the tax to themselves.

The UK have been paying vehicle tax for more than 7 decades. Vehicle tax is the norm globally.

You people Japa to Britain comfortably but don't want to repatriate the good practises that made UK, EU, Australia, Canada etc developed nations

tanigororo:
This should only apply in developed country, they have the factory that pollute the environment, we are the consumer of their technology. We are being punished for their own misdeed

That is actually false, all countries signed to the carbon tax initiatives and as Tinubu argued during his campaign 3rd world countries should receive a credit compared to larger manufacturing countries.

However in Nigeria a lot of our citizens have poor unhealthy practises such as open fires using wood and coal, gas flaring in the south south which has made Rivers into a state with acid rain and poor air quality, we also on average use poorly serviced old vehicles with high emissions.

Massive deforestation is also a major thing in Nigeria and west Africa especially

Hez143:
make I ask, is this done in saner cline

Yes
4% is even small.

My car road tax yearly is about euro 390 annually. If I had an hybrid I might save. In some EU countries it is substantially more.
In Japan I know they have a system and yearly checks too

ogododo:
BREAKING NEWS: Starting July 1, 2026, Nigeria 🇳🇬 will introduce a new "green tax" surcharge on vehicles with high-capacity engines (2,000cc and above) as part of the 2026 fiscal policy measures. This tax aims to encourage cleaner energy by placing a 2%–4% levy on high-emission vehicles, while smaller vehicles, mass transit, and electric vehicles are exempted.

Source

This is very commendable, this is the standard in every normal country the world over and what we need to do as part of our global green target.

No one would take us serious until we do this and also stop the gas flaring and use of open fires which is common in Nigeria.

We need to also make our metropolis and urban centres green spaces again to improve air quality and improve the health of our citizens.

2-4% is a negligible amount of you must drive a large capacity vehicle.

RosyIsBlessed:
There's no marriage certificate, it was a traditional marriage. Besides, I read somewhere in the post that the marriage was over since last year

I suspect that would suffice for the Americans too, because she must have been asked if she was married at the time of filing.

teepain:
Unfortunately, it seems like there was no court marriage in this case. Because, I have only read about their traditional marriage.

They may also have a court marriage irrespectively with the current atmosphere in the USA which I don't think would ever calm even after Trump is done she risks being arrested and deport e because her green card application is based on a lie.
I doubt her citizenship would ever be approved if it gets to that stage
