While Nigerians get taxed to their teeth, Tinubu and Wike are moving with 50-man SUV convoys and buying houses for their kids outside the country.

The video in the link below shows how wike's son lavish the stolen funds on his girlfriend overseas while Agbadorians continue to defend online while shacked up in their shanties.

Nigeria has never had it this bad. Everything is in shambles.

DesChyko:
An APC supporter shared a screenshot of his payment receipt as obtained from his bank. He wanted to give legitimacy to the claim that he received the cash transfer.

However, he possibly forgot that you need to be smart to lie successfully.

Kai! This is unprecedented. Nigeria has never had it this bad. Imagine the deceit. No wonder the APC Youth Leader is recruiting for Special Assistants on Propaganda Affairs (Sapa). All these will be part of their job description.

bigpicture001:
The Us does not arrest even a criminal president on visit on it's soil over the UN general assembly conference...

Even Ghadafi went severally, Iran most hated president went severally.

What crime did Gaddafi and Iranian president commit? Did any of them enter into a plea bargain for a crime committed on US soil?

Moroccoguy:
He has a stopover recently in America on his way to Brazil now.

Prove it. That was what they told you. Post a picture if any exists. Man is never setting foot in the US as long as the Republicans are in power.

The plea bargain deal he signed with the US in exchange for espionage was with the Democrats. Trump is not party to that deal and is not interested. He would unleash the full weight of the law irrespective of the diplomatic backlash.

jamafa:
Wow!

I never see any negative comments

Where are Aminda and co??

Why do you keep needing my validation on every thread? Simply make your own comments and move on with your life. Dayo Israel is recruiting Special Assistants on Propaganda Affairs (Sapa). Apply.

Normally politics are being played. CPC block dominated Buhari Government and ACN block was quite. Everything was balanced now but all can not be appointed. Meanwhile, jagaban is not Buhari in politics of wining elections otherwise the CPC block only would have won elections before APC was formed.

Tinubu once said, u loose some you gain Many is the beauty of the game. Now I understand.

Wrong. You cannot rewrite history. ACN bloc was well represented in Buhari’s cabinet starting from the number 2 man, Osinbajo. Even the number 4 man was Gbajabiamila and Tinubu even wanted the number 3 man before Saraki played a fast one. Don't get me started on powerful ministers like Fashola, Dare (current presidential spokesman), FIRS Boss (Fowler) and several others. I repeat, no CPC member is represented in Tinubu’s government. He came in with the mentality of chasing them out of the party. He's that greedy and self-centred.

All four children? On the surface, this may look fine and okay but it's abuse of office and due process. Millions of sons and daughters of ordinary Nigerians are without employment and others have died in service too with no gratuity. Government of the elite, for the elite and cronies.

Kastonkastroll:
please where is elrufai. The man has been quiet lately and thats unlike him..

Dont be angry with me am just asking for a curious friend

Doing fine and in high spirits. Strategic silence is a thing. Coming straight from Saudi Arabia where he had been on lesser hajj, he attended a wedding in Kaduna today where he stood in as father of the groom and also visited Senator Abdulaziz Yari alongside Bindow, the former governor of Adamawa State. He also received Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who paid him a Solidarity visit at his residence. The coalition to unseat Tinubu is fully on course. You're welcome.

These ones are from the begger faction of the defunct CPC group. They remain hopeful, hoping against hope that Tinubu will find something for them. None of Buhari’s men are in Tinubu’s government today, that is all true supporters of Buhari need to know where Tinubu stands. The fiasco and eye-service that happened in Kaduna yesterday fooled no one.

Image123:
A two time governor of Rivers state and minister of the Federal Republic cannot afford a house? Feed us intelligently na, abeg..

Tell us how a 2-time governor of Rivers state who has only ever held government posts with no known prior business is able to afford several homes in the US worth billions of dollars.

From the brazzen allocation of lands to his sons and families, it is clear that Wike doesn't even know how to hide his misdeeds and embezzlement. Either that, or it's part of his sheer arrogance. He claims the 2 million dollar home in the US were gift from his wife's parents to his children. Who are Wike's in-laws and what do they do? He won't survive outside of any government he's not allied to.

jahsharon:
No be Cho Cho Cho. Show workings. There will always be traitors and backstabbers who always end up in bottomless pits

Okay. So Sanwo-olu and Ojulari are traitors and backstabbers but this Fayose as well as Aregbesola are moles whom you've sent to infiltrate the opposition? Noted. Just don't come back tomorrow again calling Aregbesola a traitor or backstabber. Stay one place.

jahsharon:
And Aregbesola nko? Is he not there because we sent him? We are just playing you like street football

Did you also send Sanwo-olu to fund Atiku’s election or he did that on his own? Why is Mrs Achimugu still being hounded? The latest one by Seunmsg is that Tinubu declared SOE in Rivers to prevent Fubara from funding Atiku’s election. Dangote was also raided early into the administration on allegation of funding Atiku. Bashir Haske and Bayo Ojulari got same allegation just few days into his appointment. Who's next to be accused? Seyi? Why does everyone keep funding Atiku’s election against Tinubu or is it just paranoia?

What do you expect? Reverend Kukah is now an appointee under Tinubu. He has been given the marching orders to try to discourage Jonathan from contesting so as to benefit his current employer, Tinubu.

The Npower scheme under Buhari engaged just 500k people but every Nigerian knows someone that benefitted from it. They claim to have disbursed money to 8.5m people but nobody knows someone that knows someone that benefitted.

Op, your answer lies in the fact that one man has refused to let go of the state 20 years after ruling it. He handpicks every successor, and we all know that none of them have free reign. Every single project attracted to Lagos is geared to improve the real estate value of the kleptomaniac. A chunk of the taxes ends up oiling the political machinery of the "insatiable one." The touts were empowered to serve as makeshift state police for the purpose of tax collection and election rigging. Lagos is fast crumbling under its own weight and primarily due to greed.

PureFace1:
Jonathan is actually a big failure but the praise given to him by those that hate APC and Tinubu has gotten into his head.

He can contest and disgrace himself for good

Jonathan was a better president than Tinubu currently is. The records speak for themselves. Tinubu cannot campaign against Jonathan without campaigning against himself. If Donald Trump and John Mahama can do it, Jonathan too can.

Every Eke market day, "Jonathan shouldn't run". These people are paranoid! Jonathan is eminently qualified and well positioned to run. He is at liberty to exercise his constitutional right.

boxypane:
He celebrates every Tom, Dick, and Harry these days. Somebody should tell this man that Nigeria needs help.

Lol. You mean just because he wants to eat meat, he's willing to call cow "broda". Anyways, 2baba is a legend.

stanluiz:
He went be saying that Atiku won't see 5% vote in SE and SS But he believe that tinubu will win the entire NW, NE and NC. That guy is delusional

Atiku will clear most SE and SS votes again. At worst, SS votes will be divided. 50/50. Which is still good for him.

He needs to beat at tinubu in NW. NC votes will also be divided. If he do . He is going to Aso rock.

Allow! They are counting on Tinubu using strongman tactics to bamboozle the entire South to vote him in 2027. It's visible to the blind that the love just isn't there. Conpare the turnout in Rivers at the LG election with the numbers that came out to welcome Fubara. Not even Fubara can make the people of Rivers vote Tinubu, except for brazzen rigging which they are counting on. The new angle is accusing everyone of funding Atiku. Even Sanwo-olu was accused of funding Atiku. Seunmsg, if Sanwo-olu funded Atiku in 2023 with Lagos state money, doesn't that tell you that Atiku's campaign funds will likely come from unusual sources? The paranoia is real and palpable.

seunmsg:
Now listen and listen clearly as I will not repeat myself again.

1. A single kobo of Rivers state money will not go into funding Atiku’s 2027 presidential campaign.

2. No southern governor will fund Atiku’s 2027 campaign.

3. Atiku won’t get 5% in any southern state.

4. Atiku will lose in 2027 just like he has been doing since 1993.


5. You’re free to type another lengthy anti- Yoruba comment, it changes absolute nothing.

Lol. Who did Wike and Fubara support with Rivers state money in 2023 when Obi won the state? How did Atiku suddenly become dependent on Rivers state money in big 2025? Tinubu only won 4 states in the entire South. All 4 were from the Southwest. Atiku won 3 states in the South (Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Osun state). Obi and/or Jonathan will still dust Tinubu in the South in 2027. What is Tinubu's pathway to re-election that is not dependent on the North? The North made him President in 2023.

Meanwhile, Tinubu was in Kaduna today. He was warmly received.

Gerhards:
This place is not your private business or personal platform, stop asking Mods to ban people who have done nothing wrong because you are APC card carrying member.

People can only be banned if they violated Nairaland rules and regulations

No, they just posted the thread link on their WhatsApp group and have amassed "likes" on comments as directed. They want the mods to push it to frontpage. That's their modus operandi in case you haven't noticed.

seunmsg:
You won’t be here with this pitiable comment if you’re not sad about the development. You see that Rivers money you and Atiku are eyeing to fund your coalition, na eye una go take see am, una mouth no go touch am. Atiku will not see 5% in any southern state in 2027.

That's the problem with you SWesterners under Tinubu. You only think in binary as if Tinubu will be president forever. Does Rivers state money belong to Tinubu, Wike or even Fubara? Why are you all so paranoid? So the SOE was all about Rivers state money to Tinubu? That's why he lied and suspended a democratically elected governor for 6 months, denying the people of Rivers good governance just to hijack the so-called "structure" for himself? Where are the people's will in all of these? If it's solely about money, how did Obi amass over 6m votes including the obviously rigged Rivers state in 2023? Well, time is a gentleman.

SarkinYarki:
Some of us have advocated for something similar where the MOP handles contracts while NNPC is stripped from any regulator role it bestowed on itself

Handling contracts is not a regulatory role. It is a misnomer for a regulator to be involved in operational and commercial tasks.

seunmsg:
Further tears, anger, and frustration for Atiku, Peter Obi and all obidients. This is not what they expected from Fubara and Rivers state at this point.

You think all these is about Atiku, Peter Obi, and Obidients? Do you think this is even about Fubara himself? So, in your logic, as long as Fubara and Wike agrees, Tinubu can even get away with murder?

flipboss:
That Kwara state governor... Abdulrazak or whatever he calls himself is just another unfortunate, pathetic and useless boy. He's so clueless and less concern about his people's plight. Just another el rufai in Kwara. So unfortunate to have such a loser govern Kwara state. Kwara was a very peaceful state back then.

You mean he should also negotiate with the bandits like his counterparts are doing abi? Anything to exonerate your tribesman from taking responsibility as the commander in chief. All of a sudden, governors are now in charge of ridding the country of terrorism.

Take from the pockets of struggling Nigerians via crippling taxation and then hand it over to corrupt governors with immunity and scream, "Hold your governors accountable!". When we ask how, they say, "Write your legislators!". Tell them legislators have been pocketed, and they scream, "Go to court!".

This is where we've found ourselves today.

Moroccoguy:
Obasanjo doesn't have the political will to deliver any candidate, where is sen Iyabo Obasanjo?

By "political will", you mean he's not willing to kill and undemocratically bend the law to continue to hold on to the places he has governed and put his stooges in power even after decades of leaving the seat? If that's what you mean, then yes, Obasanjo does not have the political will.

He did not say anything different in the two posts quoted. No matter how expensive Nigeria gets, it will still be sweet to those who have a lot of money. The only problem is that Tinubu is making those numbers less and less by the day. Nigeria is the only country where you are allowed to be your own government if you have a lot of money. You can do and undo and live like a King, even if that money was ill-gotten.
