This is why moderation is key. Anything done in excess becomes nauseating.

Karlovich:
The Iragbiji corpse must be buried politically soon,

This I have seen!

OOOH... I DIDNT KNOW THAT THE BAND DETERMINES THE TUNE AND NOT THE PRESIDENT .....
I DIDNT KNOW THAT THE BAND TUNE IS SUPERIOR TO NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!!

thisisit:
THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE THE PREROGATIVE TO DETERMINE SONG TO BE PLAYED IN AN OFFICIAL NATIONAL FUNCTION .... YOU TURN THE CONSTITUTION UPSIDE DOWN WITH THAT COMMENT IN RED

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND PLEDGE ARE THE OFFICIAL SONGS AND COMMITTMENT TO NIGERIA .. NOT TO INDIVIDUAL OR TRIBE ......... THE JUDGES SHOULD HAVE OPPOSED THIS NONSENSE IF THEY have ANY INTEGRITY LEFT IN THEM

Rindo69:
They all stood at attention for it

TimeManager:
The video was clear enough, the Presidential Guard Brigade only played the tune of the song while the judges stood up to welcome the President to the podium. None of the judges sang along. This is a standard protocol whereby the President has the prerogative to determine what song would usher him on stage. And it is not only limited to conferences, forums, or political gatherings, it cuts across all activities, including presentation of budget or any other official presentations. It's just a matter of protocols.

-Kiss the truth!

Wonderment.

I have long giveup on the average Nigerian and their thinking ability


Both the Rufai and mist commenters here are the reasin Nigeria is a 3rd world country.

No country can develop above tge average IQ of its citizens.

See analysis

Oil & Gas (72%)
• Nigeria ships 1.6 million barrels/day to Europe
• 2025 avg. Brent price: $78/barrel
• €36.2 bn cash straight to EU energy giants (Shell, Total, Eni, BP)

How is this straight cash to EU energy gaints.

When the Federal government through NNPC owns about 45 to 50% of all oil production facilities or field, the Oil companies pay royalties and tax.



. Cocoa, Sesame, Leather (18%)
• EU buys €8.1 bn of Nigerian farm & raw materials
• Germany alone takes €2.4 bn cocoa beans

Is importing goods from Nigeria now a crime done by EU?

themanderon:
That's why they support everything the evil devilish government does. To them it's all about interests and nothing to do with humanity. That want the status quo to continue.
Why can't we process our cocoa like other African countries like Ghana do? Any country that only exports raw materials is doomed.

DiamondsAreFore:
When you understand what a trade imbalance is, I will tag you. Until then, any further discussion will only be a waste of time

That's our embassy office in malaysia. Looks like someone uprooted it from naija and just dropped it thre where it fdoesnt fit in. Upon d amount of money they charge for even sinmple things couldn't they afford a little renovation? And u don't even need me to tell u how bad d service is.

Tiny little Togo outperforming the "giant" of Africa.

BodePolScience:
​A foreign media outlet saw clearly what some APC sycophants have been denying.

larryUG:
Lol. Technically speaking, it is a demotion for him. CDS is a ceremonial position without any direct command of any of the branches. The COAS has more power than the CDS, even though the CDS is higher in rank. this is because the CDS cannot issue a direct order to any of the service branch chiefs. The Service branch chiefs receive orders from the C_in_ C directly, hence a more powerful and lucrative position than the CDS who is more like an adviser

Ofunaofu:
You're mistaking theory for reality, but Nigeria doesn’t run on constitutional theory, it runs on [b]power, influence, and control. [/b]And no one embodies that more than Tinubu.

You talk about OBJ and Yar’Adua like it’s the same situation. It’s not. OBJ didn’t build Yar’Adua’s political career from scratch or install loyalists in every corner of government. Tinubu, on the other hand, has spent two decades building a loyalty machine from Lagos State to the National Assembly to the APC hierarchy. He doesn’t need to control the presidency from outside he walked into it himself.

This is a man who reversed a constitutional impeachment like it was a minor inconvenience, who handpicks governors like they're his personal aides, remove them at will and who has turned party primaries into coronations, imposed state of emergency removing democratically elected institutions.You really think someone like that suddenly believes in separation of powers and institutional independence?

Stop pretending this is about constitutional structure. It’s about who is in power and Tinubu has made it clear: once he grabs it, snatches it, he doesn’t let go. What we’re watching isn’t governance it’s a slow-motion authoritarian playbook. Tinubu is on course of being Nigeria's life president and the sooner you stop burying your head in the sand, the better.

richmond500:
That was how they said Buhari wanted to extend his tenure.

Ofunaofu:
Had someone predicted in 2003 during Tinubu’s campaign for re-election as Governor of Lagos State that he would continue to exert influence over the state for more than two decades, such a claim would likely have been dismissed by his media aides, who would have insisted that his tenure would end with the conclusion of his term in 2007.

However, history has unfolded differently. While Tinubu formally vacated the office of governor, he has, for nearly twenty years, maintained de facto control over Lagos State installing and removing governors at will, treating them as though they were mere extensions of his political machinery. This sustained dominance has arguably hindered the state’s institutional autonomy and stifled its developmental potential.

Given this precedent, Tinubu’s political trajectory suggests a willingness to replicate such a model at the national level, if permitted. Left unchecked, his leadership style raises concerns about the potential for a de facto life presidency in Nigeria.

Zocalite:
Hmmmm

In the first place should the punishment of dancing on duty be sacking

Haba!

You must be a wicked person

Softmirror:
What Israel has been doing and is still doing is the very same that the United States of America does. Very recently, the United States launched an aggressive attack on Venezuela under the pretex of fighting drug barons. Infact the United States has declared the Venezuelan President wanted and are determined to topple his government.

The real Israel in the Bible has long time gone into EXTINCTION. What we call Israel today is only an extension of United States in the Middle East.

DoctorStanley:
Did anybody see 1900?

"According to him, when he took over, the exchange rate had ballooned to N1,900 to the US dollar. But thanks to reforms and fiscal discipline, the rate has stabilised around N1,450"

😅I've seen blatant lies before but this one takes the cake!

Melagros:
COMRADES, but the current administration is trying by all means to scuffle the man's efforts

franchasofficia:
Ooni of Ife - Chief Priest of Yoruba land


Alaafin of Oyo - Chief of Army Staff of Yoruba land


Who then is the Commander in Chief of both? Could it be Olubadan, Awujale of Ijebu land abi Alake of Egba land?

SlavaUkraini:
Guess what.... Total defeat is coming very soon to put an end to Putin's land grabbing exercise

SlavaUkraini:
As long as the fighting continues, those lands will be returned to Ukraine in due time... .. including Crimea

And a legitimate referendum will be held for the people of Eastern Ukraine to choose if they want to be part of Ukraine or Russia

Not the Sham that Putin and his Ûrchins conducted years ago ..

Let the fighting continue
