Someone who's into cattle farming want me to partner with him here is his breakdown:

A local male cow 7-8months old ₦250k. Female ₦400k. He will rear them for 2-3 years. If it's female, first child isine, second birth child is his. If it's male we share profits after maturity and my capital will first be refunded. If it's Bororo it's ₦800k. In the case of lose or damage, we be 50/50 shared lose. He will be responsible for management, medications and feeding. He's ready to sign legally binding agreement because I rejected ordinary agreement.


What do you think about this deal? I didn't know that a young cow is now around ₦250k for make and ₦400k for female for rearing 😲

Please advice. Thanks.

Tinubu left the Lagos State house in 2007. He became President in 2023. A good 16 years when he doesn't have any immunity whatsoever and also a good 8 years or so the PDP were in power yet you guys couldn't pin anything on him?

Even you El-Rufai worked with him to unseat Jonathan.

Ribadu tried everything to hold tinubu but he found nothing..

He already said it himself..

You’re very naive to think the kings or some security officials of that place don’t know what’s going on

You chase for greener pastures in Europe, Canada and America but The Chinese, Indians and Lebanese are chasing for greener pastures in your country.

What are they seeing that you are not seeing? What are you seeing that they are not seeing?..How do they become richer and realise their dreams in your very country that you think is inhospitable and poor?

People from the country mentioned steal Nigeria resources like lithium (most especially). Chinese steal lithium and export it to Hong Kong. I saw this with my eyes 3yrs ago at ibadan.

Reference:
I really wish we had the kind of top businessmen and industrialist speak up and posit their views on our public finances and the true way forward for our economy the way Elon did in the US in reaction to Trump's BBB.

And the way you hear industry leaders in the UK and other European countries engage the media and the citizens on alternative ways the economy cam be handled be cause they do know a lot.

The reason is simple. Alternative ideas shared by politicians alone are often seen as posturing but when those who are affected speak up and push for better ways then the nation takes note.

There used to be a time when the likes of Christopher Kolade and Ernest Shonekan openly aired their views on things economic policy, wrote articles in the media on the state of Nigeria's economy.

But today there is palpable silence. Everyone appears to be scared about putting out their views even when they are badly affected by the way government is run, by the sheer amount of resources that are wasted in administering this country.

It should not be up to the political class alone to do the dirty work of challenging the misdeeds of government.

Dear Nairaland,pls do more in control hateful comments, otherwise we would help shut this channel down. Your bot or admin should be wise enough taking down many of hate speeches on this platform. It's becoming too extreme seeing many participants turning this beautiful page into terrorists platform. We can make our comments without insulting or laying curses on others just because they didn't agreed with our views.

We're continue to see the negative fruits of hate speeches all over the world, there are so many instances. Imagine so much of abuse and insults against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on your page from the followers of the loser of 2023 elections., as if there wouldn't be another in the nearest future.

Pls do something before too late !

Why Captain Ibrahim Traoré Is Playing with Fire by Detaining Nigerian Soldiers
Many people underestimate the capabilities of the Nigerian military and what it could mean for the government of Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

Don't be misled by Nigeria's ongoing internal security challenges—fighting Fulani herdsmen clashes, kidnappers, bandits, and jihadist insurgents in the North, or separatist agitation in the East involving IPOB and unknown gunmen. These are asymmetric insurgencies, complicated by local sympathies and complex socio-political dynamics that make total eradication difficult without massive collateral impact. No advanced military in the world easily wins such protracted internal wars.

In stark contrast, a direct confrontation with Burkina Faso would be conventional (symmetric) warfare. The Nigerian Armed Forces—Africa's largest by personnel, with superior airpower, logistics, and combat experience—have the overwhelming potential to overrun Burkina Faso's smaller military and, if provoked far enough, enforce regime change in Ouagadougou.

Dismiss any notion that Russia's support for Traoré would deter this. Nigeria could establish theater commands in neighboring countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo for a multi-front operation, leveraging regional alliances and superior resources.

This detention risks escalating a diplomatic incident into something far more dangerous. Traoré's supporters—often vocal online pan-Africanists and certain political factions—may cheer the bravado now, but they would have plenty to lament if things spiral out of control.

Point of Correction
Igbos have no Kings.
Eze actually translates to Leader or Influencial.
It's the Britsh that was desperately looking for how to add Kings to Igbos, and purposely mis-translated Eze to mean King.

The warrant Chiefs you have today courtesy of British Colonials do not choose to be called Eze, Rather they choose to be called Igwe- meaning "Sky" as reference to being "Highest" or Greatest courtsey of British support. Thats because they felt Eze was too common for the position Britain created for them. Igbo has no word for a Monarch because they don't exist in our sphere. A typical Igbo community in olden times has several Eze's, it takes integrity, attainment of wealth prowess, attainment of spiritual prowess, and followership to be an Eze. The spiritual ptowess being most important.

Eze is a common reference in Igbo communities. In a given community you will have multiple Eze. You will also have multple people with Eze in their surname. They are all leaders or their fathers were, but never exclusive. It's more akin to a Senator modern terms or a British Lord. Due to British interference most young Igbos also think Eze means King. Its actually a title, like Sir, or Maazi.

Your title should be "Leader of Igbos in Sokoto visits Nnamdi Kanu"

attackgat:
Eze Ndigbo Sokoto, HRM Eze TOB Gbahara, has visited IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in Sokoto prisons, along with some members of his cabinet.

Eze Gbahara pledged that the Igbo community in Sokoto would stand by Nnamdi Kanu for as long as he was in Sokoto prisons

HMO to me is as Lagos APC as you get. The problem I have is exactly with these sort of people. The guy I am talking about is a mini HMO. They are part of the Political structure of Lagos APC and they know no other way.



People like Fashola, Wahab, Osinbajo, Cardozo, Edun etc are not really APC political structure. They are fundamentally private sector professionals or technocrats as we like to call them so they tend to have a sense of professionalism and standards. They may have been compromised in their standards by having to work with these people but they are fundamentally a different breed.

When I refered in a previous post to APC Lagos political family, it is people like Gbaja, HMO and this young SA, I am talking about.

HMO is a career civil servant and a key member of the Lagos political Family. He is part of the furniture, part of the system. IMHO, There is nothing that has happened in Lagos since 1999 good or bad that has not become part of his DNA……he knows no other way. So when I say I am not happy with Lagos APC, he is not the solution. It’s like wanting to reform a Federal ministry and bringing in a man who started his career in that ministry and became a permanent secretary. He entire career, professional (or unprofessional) habits and mindset have been formed in that organization and is exactly the thing you are trying to reform. Whatever rot exists in that ministry he is a part of. IMHO, You don’t rise to the top in a rotten system without being a part of the system. All you are going to get is more of the same. You don’t for example say you want to reform NNPC and appoint a GMD who spent all his life in NNPC or ministry of petroleum, if you are serious you bring a Bayo Ojulari from Shell.

I have nothing against HMO personally but having been part of the governance and political structure of Lagos since 1999, to me he represents more of the same mediocrity and exactly the kind of person I don’t want to see as governor.

It’s one thing to be an appointee from the private sector for a few years but you don’t remain in a system for more or less your entire working life and not become the system yourself.


PS: the idea of Seyi as governor is a joke gone too far. I don’t think even he himself or anyone from APC takes it seriously.

Lagos APC has become too comfortable in their mediocrity. Ordinarily they deserve to be kicked out for a term or 2 to rest their brains but unfortunately Gbadebo, Jandor and Doherty are a bunch of clowns and not viable options……same story at the Federal level.

Tinubu is doing well at the Federal level but it is also because his boys can’t operate at the Federal level with the opacity and standards of project delivery they are used to in Lagos. Nonetheless you still see the Lagos APC DNA in his boys from the flip flopping of policy and tardiness in certain respects of administration. Leaked official docs from presidency, 15% petrol duty today, gone tomorrow, appointment of dead people without vetting the list, granting pardons to terrorists or people whose case is still in court….etc etc. these are the hallmark of the amateurism and anyhowness of his footssoldiers from Lagos that are hallmarks of how they operated in Lagos.

2011 is not early 2000.

By 2011, he was promoting Jonathan.

By 2015, he was screaming Biafra or Def.

You're just like him.

mohbadliveson:
He was chairman when Peter Obi was Governor. Now you see why Obi can't condemn his atrocities

No, U.S. Governors and Deputy Governors don't typically have official "lodges" in Washington D.C. like a state mansion; instead, they use state-funded offices and liaison staff (like Washington Representatives/Liaisons) to manage federal relations, plus they stay in hotels or private residences during visits, focusing on lobbying and meetings, not permanent official homes, as DC isn't a state with governor residences.

casualobserver:
Maybe some, but I have seen one of their key SAs in particular repeatedly acting arrogantly and condescending on social media towards genuine criticism and suggestions. More disturbing is that he is someone some suggest as a potential future governor (not 2027).

In fact the exchange I read and his responses is the day I said I would never vote for APC in state elections. Like I said I won’t vote for any other party because they are also equally or probably more incompetent but I will never leave my house to vote APC in Lagos state, let the chips fall where they fall. Tokunbo wahab is the only person I can leave my house to vote for. He is a descent person and you can tell he is one of the few who still has a sense of right and wrong.

Mr P, one half of the legendary music duo P-Square, recently returned to Jos, Plateau State, the city where he and his twin brother Paul Okoye (Rudeboy) grew up and began their iconic music career—nearly 20 years after leaving.

Ahead of his visit, the superstar reportedly moved with a heavy security convoy, said to include over 20 personnel, seemingly in anticipation of a massive fan turnout. A viral clip showing Mr P waving from the sunroof of a moving vehicle as residents went about their daily activities quickly circulated online. Some bloggers claimed that fans did not turn out, sparking heated debates on social media.

However, this narrative was misleading. Mr P later shared exclusive footage from the visit, clearly showing excited fans, cheering crowds, and wild jubilation in several areas of Jos, proving that the love for the superstar remains strong.

It’s also understandable that some areas saw fewer people—the city is large, and after 20 years away, not everyone may recognize him immediately. This is a reality any global celebrity might face.

Picture below says everything you need to know about Lagos APC. Some of his fans are saying this is one of SanwoOlu’s flagship deliveries in the health sector.

Please look at a flagship center that looks like it was designed by a draftsman with tacky looking red roof, blue windows, brown and beige paint crooked signage and a design that looks like something from the 1950s.

This is just one example of Lagos APC’s idea of excellence in 2025!

If you disburse N5000 to buy bread but only N700 of it gets to my hand, I can only come back with N700 bread. I can get you the best bread for N2000, I can get you decent bread for N1200-1500 but since I only got N700 all I can deliver is N 700 bread and it is N700 for a reason.
