[quote author=chuk.xie post=134911793]Do you know the Chinese have had existing tariffs on quite a number of American products? BYD is better than Tesla? Have you ever driven either cars before? FOXCONN is a Taiwanese multinational company that directly employs thousands of workers in China. Do you honestly think the company can be instructed by God-knows-who to turn off the tap on Apple and the US? Think again. Have you ever heard of something called De minimize rule? This rule allows one shipment of goods (per person, per day) from China valued at or under $800 to enter the U.S. free from duty and import taxes.The loopholes in de minimis rule helped Chinese e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu to aggressively expand in the US, and flooding the country with often outrageously cheap, and substandard products thereby threatening the existence of American companies such as Amazon, Walmart etc. Does China have a reciprocal de minimis rule for America? Your answer is as good as mine! Do you have any idea what the trade deficit between America and China is? The US is running a trade deficit with China - the difference between what it imports and exports - of $295bn in 2024. That's a considerable trade deficit, equivalent to around 1% of the US economy. How fair is that? Trump (I'm not a fan of his) wants his country to be great again. He also wants his country not to be taken advantage of by nations that exploit its systems. Every country is out to protect themselves; put themselves first. And that's exactly what Trump is doing.[/quote]Bump.
Toruibestate: I am an Ijaw leader despite being a Gen-Z born 1998. Same year with B-Lord but i can tell you that this election belong to Gen -Z. Obi we know.
He is trying to beg GEJ not to contest, nothing Dem want tell me.
The two of them know me. Tompolo say I wasn't on his side when he got the job back then because I say he should do the job but not remove food from mouth of thousands of Ijaw and their families without thinking of alternative for them.
PO took second in Bayelsa last time and we know that Diri performed wonders for Atiku hence Obi couldn't see first.
@Ditari of Ijaw.
Some of you are irritatingly impulsive in terms of speculative thinking. How do you know he went to beg GEJ? Can't two people of Ijaw roots have a cordial meeting together?
DrMB: The sheer scale of the latest FAAC allocations for the first seven months of 2025 has ignited a national debate! With a staggering difference between the top-receiving and lower-receiving geopolitical zones, the data points to a crucial factor: the 13% Derivation Fund. is the current revenue-sharing formula a fair and effective tool for balanced national development, or does it permanently entrench regional fiscal disparity? What are your takeaways from these figures? Tell us in the comments! 👇
Maobichek: Good day and happy weekend, i would have kept quiet but i sincerely want you to do better and be objective when it comes to politics; the erroneous narrative that SE hate Wike because he supported PBAT is false perhaps you should have done better than outright generalization which skewed the point you intend to drive home.
I'm from Abia state, SE so you would understand my stance on your comment; not all SE hate Wike and PBAT, please rid yourself of such notion, thank you.
Indeed, I appreciate your feedback. I've been seeing your moniker for years now as a veteran member myself of this Website since 20 years ago (2005) with an older NL account still in use. I ALSO CLEARLY know for years now that you're from the SE of Nigeria that's why I quoted your post to commend you for speaking the truth about the video and demolition in the FCT.
If you read my original post very well, you would have realized that my "constructive criticisms" were targeted towards those bigots and NOT all the SEast folks. If you know the history of this NL discussion forum very well, over 98% of those who attack Nyesom Wike daily with LIES and disinformation on several NL threads are from the SE of Nigeria [and everyday, these same propagandists FALSELY and deliberately defame President 'Bola Tinubu as well by tagging him a "drug l*rd or drug bar*n" when a US Federal court had acquited him in 1993 and the then Senator Tinubu ONLY forfeited $460,000 as payment of TAX backlogs, NOT for being a "drug baron" as of 1993 with the remaining $1.4 million returned to his 8 United States bank checking accounts], BUT I know very well that there is a subset that are filled with deep hatred for Wike (over the strong security actions taken after the ipob invasion of Oyigbo episode as well) and any politician who is a member of APC or is affiliated to that political party. People have a right of choice to choose whoever they want to vote for without being bullied online like these toxic strands among the SE user of this forum have been doing (before and after the 2023 Presidential) in any democracy and that's non-negotiable.
Maobichek: Good morning, please get your facts right before saying things like this, no demolition happened in Abuja without proper notification. Secondly, if you look at the pictures again, you will realize that the woman is not the owner of the place (that's CBD area) hence most people with small scale business outlet in places like that are not owners.
Wike is expanding a whole lot of areas but prior information/notice are serve before proper demolition. The problem remains that some agents will convince gullible people to stay put even when notice have been served. Ppl in shanty areas of Abuja are conversant with demolition exercise here and there, thank you.
This impressive post of your above provides MORE CLARITY. Some people just push highly misleading narratives online just to blackmail others.
A lot of these irresponsible random posters right from Page 1 of this NL thread are simply exhibiting the WORSE kind of tribal bigotry and hatred for that FCT Minister named Nyesom Wike [We all saw how these random posters and bigots were all over Nairaland and other online platforms in 2022 to early 2023 initially hypocritically praising Nyesom Wike and the Kano politician named Rabiu Kwankwaso to high heavens but later stopped praising them] simply because Wike chose to support another politician (who is now the President of Nigeria) over their own SE kinsman during the last Nigerian Presidential elections in 2023. They childishly and openly lash out from one Nairaland thread to another everyday while finding it difficult to hide their toxic emotional outbursts.
People MUST learn to get themselves educated about building plans and rental of spaces while following the rules of city planning. Follow the law otherwise you will get punished down the road.
A heartbreaking video has surfaced online showing a woman in tears as she laments the demolition of her restaurant business allegedly ordered by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike. 😢💔
The woman, who could barely hold back her emotions, narrated how her source of livelihood was destroyed overnight during the ongoing demolition exercise in parts of Abuja. According to her, she invested all her savings into the business, only to watch it reduced to rubble.
The viral video has sparked outrage on social media, with many Nigerians questioning the human impact of Wike’s demolition policy and calling for a more humane approach to urban renewal in the capital city.

When the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) first emerged under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, it came with a loud message of self-determination and the promise of liberating the Southeast from what it called “political and economic marginalization.” To many, it sounded like a bold, revolutionary voice for a region long frustrated with governance failures and underdevelopment. But what began as an ideology of hope has, over time, turned into a nightmare that has crippled the economy, shattered peace, and divided the very people it claimed to represent.
From Agitation to Anarchy
The turning point came with the creation of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in 2020. Initially sold as a vigilante outfit to protect Igbo farmlands from invading herders, ESN soon morphed into an armed militia. Its operations quickly went beyond protecting lives and property. Armed men claiming loyalty to IPOB began enforcing Kanu’s orders, attacking police stations, killing security operatives, and burning government facilities. The Southeast gradually became a region under siege.
The so-called “sit-at-home” directives, first introduced to protest Kanu’s detention, soon became an instrument of terror. Even after IPOB’s leadership publicly announced its suspension, self-styled enforcers continued to brutalize innocent citizens who dared to go about their daily lives. Markets were shut down, transporters stopped working, and schoolchildren stayed home out of fear. The result has been years of economic paralysis and social anxiety.
Economic and Social Ruin
Before the IPOB-ESN crisis, the Southeast was known for its vibrant trade, industrious people, and growing private-sector investments. Today, many businesses have relocated to Lagos, Abuja, and other parts of Nigeria. The once-bustling cities of Onitsha, Aba, and Nnewi now record fewer commercial activities on Mondays—the unofficial “ghost day” forced by IPOB militants. Transport unions have collapsed in some areas, and the hospitality sector continues to bleed.
According to reports by local chambers of commerce, the region loses billions of naira weekly to the sit-at-home order. Artisans, traders, and daily wage earners who make up the majority of the workforce are the worst hit. The insecurity has also driven away investors, with kidnappings and targeted killings becoming a grim routine.
The Human Cost
Beyond the economic toll, the Southeast has witnessed deep social trauma. Families have lost breadwinners to senseless killings. Youths have been radicalized or lured into militancy, creating a generation for whom violence has become a form of expression. Communities that once prided themselves on unity and progress now live in fear of their own sons.
The irony is painful: the movement that claimed to fight for the emancipation of the Igbo has become the region’s greatest oppressor. While Kanu remains in detention, splinter groups and criminal elements now use his name to justify their atrocities, from extortion and abduction to targeted assassinations. The Southeast has become a theatre of chaos, not freedom.
Time for Honest Reflection
It is time for the Southeast to tell itself the hard truth. IPOB and ESN have done more harm than good. The region’s political leaders, religious authorities, and traditional rulers must come together to rebuild peace and restore confidence in lawful governance. Igbo youths must channel their energy into constructive engagement, not violence.
Self-determination can not be achieved through fear and bloodshed. No region can develop under the shadow of guns and anarchy. The dream of a prosperous Igbo homeland will only be realized through dialogue, investment, education, and unity, not through militancy.
Conclusion
What began as a movement for justice has become a tragic lesson in how extremism destroys its own cause. The Southeast must rise again, not under the banner of violence or secession, but under the banner of peace, enterprise, and renewed leadership. The time to reclaim the soul of the region is now.

naptu2: Baba, you don't know anything. I know about this more than you and I can tell you the whole story.
Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola was completely against any state run ferry service. I know someone that was in the Navy (he's a Lagosian) and served in a committee that examined the use of the waterways for transport.
During his presentation he had a slide that discussed government ownef ferry service. As soon as Fashola saw it he shouted, "Who is that man"!
There was no LagFerry when Fashola was governor. Fashola favoured encouraging private entities like Tarzan Ferries, Texas Ferry Connection, etc to provide ferry service.
His plan was that government would act as guarantor while the private companies would buy fiberglass boats from Australia. His main focus was on building modern jetties.
Ambode came and did things differently. He set up LagFerry and bought a few ferries for their operation. He also tried to modernise the jetties.
Sanwo-Olu came and added catamarans to the LagFerry fleet.
However, some people have criticised the service because they say that the boats are too small. They say that they want boats that can carry over 100 passengers.
Also government is spending a lot of money on diesel for the boats.
This project is designed to bring in bigger boats, to dredge the waterways to accomodate the boats and to get electric boats (so that they can be charged from solar charging stations).
What you are saying is just like saying that because Jakande launched Baba Kekere Ferries in the early 1980s and Babangida launched NIWA ferries in the mid-1980s, they are all the same with this Omi Eko that will be launched today, since it's all in the same Lagos.
But anyway, I don't expect that the explanation will mean anything to you.
Well said.
You brilliantly captured the BIGGER picture because the dude (who was derailing the thread) you responded to was mixing up the different timelines (over the decades) NOT realizing that they are totally different water transportation projects under different Lagos State Governors.
The Itafaji and Baba Kekere Ferries project of the Governor Jakande era in the 1980s which I used back in the day are NOT the same with what Governors Fashola, Ambode, and Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State have each introduced. It all makes sense to invest in water transportation for Lagos State because much of Lagos State is surrounded by water and many islands and a peninsula.
naptu2: Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority (LAMATA) - Overall transport regulator.
Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL), Primero - BRT operators.
LagFerry - Ferry Operator.
Lagos Railway Corporation - railway operator.
This Omi Eko project is being done in conjunction with the European Union, so here's a European Union official to talk about how the project will transform water transportation in Lagos.
FLASH: The Lagos State Government under the leadership of Governor @jidesanwoolu is set to launch the OMI EKO Project, tomorrow October 17, 2025.
The project is a major initiative aimed at improving water transportation across Lagos State, which is being implemented by the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) @talktolaswa and supported through €410 million in funding under the Global Gateway Initiative, backed by the European Union, the French Development Agency, and the European Investment Bank.
The OMI EKO project will introduce:
New fleet of 78 high-capacity electric ferries (between 50-200 passenger capacity)
Modern terminals & floating jetties (upgrade + new ones).
Dredging & channel works to open / stabilise routes (~140 km; 15 routes).
Digital ticketing & smart terminals for faster boarding.
Stronger safety, regulation & capacity building with LASWA oversight.
This project will be done in phases over the next 6 years.
INSIDE: The locally-built, Nigerian-built and Lagos-Built high capacity commercial ferries being commissioned today by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu today at the Badore Jetty, Eti-Osa Local Government Area.
The OMI-BUS is a new, locally built, high-capacity, standard ferry, comfortable and safe.
- The OMI-BUS is international standardized Vessel that meet Bureau Veritas' specific safety and reliability criteria
- 40 passengers capacity
- The OMI-BUS project, a collaborative effort between the private sector and Lagos State Government.
- Equipped with life buoys, lifejackets, fire extinguishers, and pyrotechnics to reduce the risk of casualties.
- The OMI-BUS is easier to maintain, leading to more consistent and safer service. - The OMI-BUS is equipped with more efficient Yamaha outboard engines that produce significantly fewer CO2 emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a reduced environmental footprint.
- The OMI-BUS ferries are have extra features such as USB charging points, a stereo system for your entertainment, LED lighting for a pleasant ambiance, a non-slip deck mat for your safety, and a public address system for continuous updates.
The Boat Yard which is situated inside the Badore Jetty, is owned and run by Caverton Marine led by Mr Bode Makanjuola, in partnership with Lagos State Government.
I read a thread last week indicating that the road leading to the new Ekiti State International Cargo Airport is in a bad shape so that major airport road should have been done simultaneously with the construction of the impressive airport so as to stimulate more interest in the large Ekiti Diaspora who would like to start investing in their homeland and who have some of the most brilliant and financially wealthy Yoruba folks (and non-Ekiti investors) out there.
The Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort and Conference Center has been rated as the BEST resort for 2 years in row in Nigeria, beating even those in Lagos State, so, that's a good testimonial from Ekiti State. I saw this info on IG via @GoSeeIkogosi

BlackViper: A Palestinian will have his newly acquired German citizenship revoked after posting a photo showing support for Hamas, writes The Telegraph.
A day after celebrating the arrival of his German passport, the man, referred to only as Abdallah, uploaded a photo to Instagram showing Hamas fighters with the caption "heroes of Palestine."
Shortly afterwards, he received a letter from Germany's Interior Ministry stating that his citizenship had been revoked, according to local newspaper Bild.
Germany has gone further than most European countries to punish support for Hamas and curb pro-Palestinian support, out of what it sees as a historic obligation to Israel and to right the injustices of its Nazi past, the Telegraph reports.
In 2024, it reformed its citizenship laws to require applicants to respect "its free democratic order and Germany's special historical responsibility" towards Jewish life.
New questions were also added to the German citizenship test regarding Jewish life and Israel's "right to exist."
Two eastern German states have forced applicants to write clearly that they believe in "Israel's right to exist as a place of refuge for all people of Jewish faith."
At least ten people in the state of Saxony-Anhalt had their applications rejected after failing to complete that section.
While Germany has blocked the path to citizenship based on an applicant's refusal to recognize Israel as a state, Abdallah's case is believed to be one of the few cases where citizenship has been revoked.
It is not clear whether he will be deported, given that Germany does not recognize Palestine as a state.
eyesoflagos: US Revokes Visas of Six Foreign Nationals for Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
The United States government has taken decisive action against six foreign nationals who publicly celebrated the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
According to an official statement released by the U.S. State Department on the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), the individuals involved had their visas immediately revoked following online posts that appeared to glorify the killing.
The department emphasized that such behavior was unacceptable and inconsistent with the values of the United States, particularly in moments of national grief. Charlie Kirk’s Assassination at Utah Valley University
The tragic incident occurred on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk had been delivering a speech as part of a campus event on civic responsibility and youth leadership.
Eyewitnesses reported that an armed assailant opened fire during the closing minutes of the event, leading to chaos among the audience. Kirk was rushed to a nearby hospital but was later pronounced dead from gunshot wounds.
His death sent shockwaves across the United States, especially among conservative groups, student organizations, and political commentators who viewed Kirk as one of the most outspoken voices of his generation. The State Department’s Announcement
In its post, the U.S. State Department disclosed that visa holders from six countries—Argentina, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and Paraguay—were sanctioned after investigations revealed their involvement in online celebrations following the assassination.
“The U.S. government stands firmly against hate and the glorification of violence. Any individual found to be celebrating or endorsing such acts will face immediate consequences,” the statement read.
The decision, according to diplomatic sources, reflects Washington’s zero-tolerance approach toward individuals who engage in hate speech or promote extremist content on digital platforms, even if they are not physically present in the U.S.
Killer Identified as Tyler Robinson
Law enforcement agencies have identified Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old student at Dixie Technical College, as the prime suspect in the shooting.
Robinson, described by classmates as quiet but increasingly erratic in recent months, was reportedly turned in by his own father—a veteran officer with the Washington County Sheriff’s Department—after noticing disturbing messages left by his son on social media.
Authorities believe the attack was politically motivated, though investigations are ongoing to determine whether Robinson had external support or connections to extremist organizations.
The suspect is currently in federal custody facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder, domestic terrorism, and illegal possession of firearms.
Donald Trump Honors Charlie Kirk Posthumously
Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has publicly mourned Charlie Kirk’s death, describing him as “a fearless patriot who gave his life for truth, freedom, and the American people.”
In an emotional ceremony held at the White House on October 14, 2025, Trump posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
“Charlie’s legacy will continue to inspire generations of young Americans to stand up for what they believe in,” Trump said during the event.
The former President also ordered all U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff for three days to honor Kirk’s memory, calling the assassination a “dark moment for the nation’s democracy.” Public Reaction and Global Backlash
The revocation of the six visas has generated significant international debate. While many Americans praised the U.S. government for taking a firm stance, some human rights groups have expressed concern about the criteria used to determine the punishment.
Nonetheless, the State Department maintains that visa privileges can be withdrawn at any time if a foreign national engages in conduct contrary to U.S. interests or values.
Online, tributes continue to pour in for Charlie Kirk from political leaders, conservative organizations, and students who once participated in Turning Point USA programs.
A Nation in Mourning
As investigations continue, Charlie Kirk’s death has reignited conversations about security at public events, political polarization, and the influence of social media in shaping ideological extremism.
For millions of supporters, Kirk’s legacy as a fiery defender of conservative principles and free speech remains indelible.
The U.S. government’s swift action against those who mocked his death underscores a broader message: the celebration of violence, regardless of nationality or ideology, will not go unpunished.
TruthU87: Breaking News: President Trump is considering an overhaul to the U.S. refugee program that would favor mostly white people, documents show.
The Trump administration is considering a major overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would favor white immigrants — including English speakers, white South Africans, and Europeans who oppose migration — according to internal documents obtained by The New York Times.
The proposals would transform a program meant to help the most vulnerable people into one that prioritizes mostly white applicants who say they are being persecuted. Some of the plans have already taken effect, such as offering priority refugee status to Afrikaners, the white minority that once ruled South Africa under apartheid.
Documents show the administration wants to emphasize “assimilation” and favor Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online,” including opposition to mass migration or support for populist political parties.
Officials argue that America’s refugee policy has made the country “too diverse,” claiming diversity “reduced the level of social trust essential for democracy.” The proposals would cancel applications from hundreds of thousands of nonwhite refugees already in the pipeline and sharply reduce the overall refugee cap to 7,500.
Critics say the plan exposes the administration’s belief that “true Americans” are white and Christian, turning long-standing humanitarian policy into one shaped by race and ideology.
The United States is originally a Native American homeland so what right does this current POTUS have to ditch multicultural immigration and ONLY favor White Europeans in order to boost the White population?
That's a total deviation for what the United States stands for as the land of unlimited possibilities.

malali: Kemi Badenoch’s fall from grace may come faster than she expects. For all her noise and controversy, she isn’t as popular as she imagines. The excuse that “she’s doing what she needs to do” doesn’t sound like strategy, it sounds like desperation. Why not simply be herself and let the electorate decide? No one can pretend forever; it’s exhausting and soul-sapping to perform a persona that isn’t real. The truth is, she isn’t pretending , she’s just grown comfortable being caustic. And when she mocked Nigerians to score political points, she forgot that social media is borderless. Nigerians answered her in kind, and her own voters saw it. The whispers started: if even her own people don’t trust her, why should we? That quiet loss of moral credibility may prove the real reason her rise ends where it began.
malali: Kemi Badenoch spends her time lecturing Nigerians while staying silent on the very issues her own country faces. She has said nothing about the UK’s crushing cost-of-living crisis, rampant food insecurity, police misconduct, rising hate crimes, the NHS collapse, skyrocketing rents and homelessness, racial discrimination, mental health epidemics, environmental disasters, or digital privacy violations. Yet she assumes moral authority to shame Nigeria. Her words expose more about her selective outrage than about any failing abroad, she attacks Nigeria for problems she refuses to confront at home.
BenuePolitician: The remains of the elder statesman were interred in his country home, Efugo, Otukpa, at about 1:18pm amid tributes from political leaders and dignitaries across the country.
President Bola Tinubu on Friday called on the family of late former Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbeh, to uphold the values that defined him as an exceptional Nigerian statesman.
Tinubu, who was represented by Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, spoke during Ogbeh’s burial in Otukpa, Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State.
The remains of the elder statesman were interred in his country home, Efugo, Otukpa, at about 1:18pm amid tributes from political leaders and dignitaries across the country.
Delivering the president’s testimonial titled “Contributions of Chief Audu Ogbeh to the Political Development of Nigeria”, Akume described Ogbeh as a humble, compassionate and unifying figure whose contributions to Nigeria’s political landscape would be remembered for generations.
“We equally remember him for his humility, compassion and generosity. He was a unifying personality who bridged divides and brought people together. His impact on Nigerian politics and society will be felt for generations to come,” Tinubu said.
The president acknowledged that Ogbeh’s death had left a vacuum in Nigeria’s political space but insisted that the legacies he left behind remained indelible.
Tinubu further said Ogbeh’s political journey cut across Nigeria’s dominant parties, noting his key roles in both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Chief Audu Ogbeh played significant roles in Nigerian politics, particularly in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He was a founding member of the PDP and contributed significantly to Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999. He served as the PDP’s National Chairman from 2001 to 2005, working to balance party dynamics and navigate complex national issues with reason and principle.
“Chief Ogbeh also played a critical role in the formation of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and its merger with the All Progressives Congress (APC). He joined the APC in 2015,” Tinubu stated.
The president added that beyond partisan politics, Ogbeh was remembered for his “integrity, intellectualism, and dedication to public service.”
“His dedication to Nigeria’s progress and development was unwavering,” he said, urging Nigerians to emulate his example of leadership and service.
Dignitaries at the burial included the Minister of Water Resources and Sanitation, Prof. Joseph Terlumun Utsev; Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Barr. Pius Akutah; Executive Director of Housing Finance and Accounts, FHA, Dr. Mathias Byuan; Senator Titus Zam (Benue North-West); Deputy Governor of Benue State, Sam Ode; former Anambra governor, Chris Ngige; and former Benue deputy governor, Chief Steven Lawani, among others.
