Mr Obi, don't make this promise if you won't do it.

Smart.

No be today that Nigeria have a spending problem. But will we learn?

Are these one babies? Elected officials behaving like teenagers. DIsappointing.

Even Trump shook Biden.

Nairaland moderators should also loudly pronounce it when American nationals scam their compatriots. Abeg!

It's as clear as black and white. It's in the 14th amendment.

Any argument is rooted in ignorance and maybe some bigotry and racism joined together.

This is how someone goes gradually into political oblivion.

"I have been on the bench for over four decades," said Judge Coughenour, who was nominated to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1981. "I can't remember another case where the case presented is as clear as it is here. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."

"In your opinion, is this executive order constitutional?" he asked DOJ attorney Brett Shumate.

"Yes, we think it is," Shumate said, drawing the judge's rebuke.

"I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar can state unequivocally that this is an unconstitutional order. It boggles my mind," Coughenour said. "Where were the lawyers when this decision was being made?"

This exchange summarizes how Trump consistently throws a grenade into the career of Attorneys who work for him, and now the DOJ as well has been dragged into the mud. (Meanwhile, note the response of the DOJ Attorney )

Good. Now, hunt them down and give them no breathing space to operate. Then find their backers and put them all out of business.

The state and federal government should also develop those areas.

Intelligence and Security in that area is very lax. Government needs to pay serious attention before it gets totally out of hand.

Trump also reiterated his threat to impose tariffs on the country, saying it can be avoided if the neighbouring nation chose to "become a state" of the US.

Why will Canada become the 51st state of the US?

What will Canada benefit from the US? Free healthcare, sane leadership, sensible gun laws, messed up immigration system, foreign policy edge... What exactly will they gain?

Not to mention the fact that Canada's main trade with the US is petroleum products. Americans will now wonder why their gas pump prices have gone up again. Leaders without a common sense brain, talkless of a thinking one...

The US is not a country that reads. They watch TikTok reels and take opinions from influencers and loud mouths.

Regardless of the release of these classified docs, it won't change much.

One of Abacha's ardent backers. RIP General Useni

"You gotta bring down the oil price, that will end that war. You could end that war," he added

How will this help the US since Trump is also singing "drill, baby, drill"?
On the one hand, Trump is counting on increasing US crude oil production while hoping that Russia is frozen out of the market by low prices.

If someone had been accused of corruption, those in power should not be seen publicly with that person. It sends a wrong message to the citizens. But hey, who cares in Naija?

Always scarce, even with "support"

“Come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth.

“But if you don’t make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply you will have to pay a tariff,” he stated.

Carrot and stick approach. Unfortunately, this is not how to use it. Trump is just a loud mouth. And he does it for the benefit of his base, and they lap it up

How does he not understand that these companies don't care about tariffs? They will simply mark it up on their products. The people who actually suffer are the end users, the everyday citizens. If you add a 25% tariff on imported aluminium from China for example, the companies that import these products into the US will pay that tariff to the US Customs, and assuming the price was $100/kg before the tariff, it becomes $125 or even $150 after the tariff (depending on how much revenue is necessary to keep the company in business). Yes, the companies will pay the tariff but the people actually paying are the users. This is part of why inflation happens in some sectors.

How does he not understand it? Or maybe he understands it but continue to play a fast one on his supporters.

This is not how you make your country strong.

Every time a government does this social media bans, it's to silence views in opposition to them. Is it right? I think public safety and a sane society is more important.

This is not what Nigeria needs at this moment.

Not new building projects fhs!

President Trump has shown time and time again that his loyalty lies with the American people and our great nation above all else... [and] has also broken the chains of DEI by eliminating federal programs...

Americans are not just white. They include people from all races. By removing DEI mandates in federal institutions, you're effectively rolling back the progress of the past 50 or so years and marginalizing every other minority race.

Placing American safety as his top priority, President Trump designated Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, empowering law enforcement to dismantle these violent networks with greater force.

If American safety is Trump's priority (and the Republican-led Congress), why not all work together to institute sensible gun laws?

He has tackled the crisis at our Southern border by declaring a national emergency, deploying additional troops and resources to curb illegal crossings, and expediting the completion of the border wall.

So declaring a national emergency is how to tackle the crisis at the Southern border? Smart fellows indeed. What imaginary crisis by the way? GOP always just create a bogey man and keep beating that.

He has also initiated the process to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, a decision I am personally very excited about following the Biden Administration’s disastrous COVID pandemic response

So Biden bungled COVID response with WHO but Trump is the one that handled it just right. Human beings and short memories. Pathetic!



Funny how this rather fresh 2nd term GOP Congressman conveniently ignored the ~1500 criminals pardoned by Trump while listing everything he had done since he resumed office.

My issue with the Republicans is simple: work for the country, not a man.

If y'all are truly working for the country, you will go against the President when he's not doing right for the country. These Republicans forget that it was Nixon's own party men that told him he has to resign in '74. (And who determines what's right? The constitution).

Trump has them all by the balls, just because he's brash and loud, and the entire Congress has no spine. The Congress is a co-equal branch of governement, just as the Executive branch led by the President, as well as the Supreme Court.

Ahmad wrote, “I expected Peter Obi to surprise us by extending his condolences to the EFCC and the family of Aminu Sahabi, who was brutally murdered, while carrying out his official duties, by a suspected internet fraudster, Joshua Chukwubueze Ikechukwu.

Very convenient for you Bashir.

When similar things happen in the North (against Christians or Igbos), your silence is very loud. Your behaviour shows clearly that you're part of why this country is divided along religious and ethnic lines.

300 billion. All for roads.

Well done o!

Nigeria accounted for 51% of these deliveries, while the United States contributed 40% and Russia supplied 4.4%, data from grid operator REN shows. In comparison, Russia supplied 15% of Portugal’s LNG needs in 2021.

This seems to suggest that Nigeria increased LNG exports to Portugal within the past 4 years but for some reasons, it didn't make headlines. We need more transparency on how much revenue Nigeria generates from our natural resources. Maybe then, we can begin to understand our fiscal responsbility/irresponsibility.

The story behind the meme. Hilarious!

An ordinary person cannot even borrow beyond his income, but Nigeria continues to borrow like there's no tomorrow.

Maybe we should learn from the Chinese, Russians and the Saudis how they are doing it. 'Cos it's obvious this debt profile is unsustainable.

Their child; their money; their choice.

“If we are ready to fix the healthcare system in this country, I would think that every government official must use the government hospitals. Let’s start with that,”

Over the decades, medical practioners and associations have been asking political leaders to use local facilities for their healthcare needs but no, at the slightest headache, they are in US, UK, France etc. The question is simple: if the US president is usually treated in a foreign hospital, what confidence will the citizens have on medical facilities in the US? (Let's not even begin to talk of security concerns).

“The minister has been very busy with projects, fixing roads, and all of that.

Why do politicians find it easy to do roads than improve on healthcare and education?

That was very fast. Such good work by the agency. But I expect that he should be handed over to the police.

May the victim recover speedily.

This is very unfortunate. As the teacher is in a coma (and let's even assume he instigated this in some way), those students who are street boys in school should first be remanded in police custody for some days while the investigation continues.

If society do not discipline them now (because of the influence of the ringleader's father), it sets a terrible precedent. More students will become bold to assault their teachers.

On top of a bad educational curriculum and system, teachers that have been trying to impact on the younger generation now become punching bags. What a decline for the nation!

Turkish law enforcement doing the Lord's work.

MAGA - Make America Great Again
MAGA - Make America Groan Again

Nigerians know what MAGA mean. Trump is about to MAGA the US. Lol!

Oyetola emphasized that the development of Inland Dry Ports will not only ease pressure on the country’s seaports but also create jobs for youths in Ogun, Oyo, and other states within Nigeria’s western region.

Hopeful that it delivers in time. Those jobs are very needed especially in those areas.
