If she only dispensed medicine legally, then she cannot be that wealthy because running a pharmacy overseas is not like selling akara by the roadside. So, her wealth must have come from illegal dispensing.

Why did you have to bring up this stuff about selling akara when you are discussing about pharmaceuticals and drugs?

What are you trying to imply here

HacheNoire:
Forfeiture with freedom does not happen like that in legal matters.

You only forfeit when the crime is not directly tied to you. It’s like person A who is a criminal kept stolen money to person B. When the court finds grounds that person B is not a part of the crime, a competent court of law will execute forfeiture of those assets.

Every fraudster would have done same if it guarantees freedom!

Is the looting of Lagos State money also indirectly tied to its landlord and master strategist? The a-looter progressive who has grown the state budget 100 times over 27 years to N4.2 trillion without matching improvements in government services and public utilities like water supply, to the people who bear the burden of taxes, levies, tolls, rates, fines, fees etc for the IGR increase

Abi why else is he not just enjoying freedom instead of being executed like the Chinese do for corruption, rather he is the god of Lagos and Nigerian politicians and people?

Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.

Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.

His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.

The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993

It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.

Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.

He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.

“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’

Falana Faults Oyo On NURTW Proscription Court Judgment

October 27, 2025

Human rights lawyer and counsel to the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Mrs Funmi Falana, has faulted the Oyo State Government for allegedly misrepresenting and disobeying a Court of Appeal judgement which declared the proscription and suspension of the union’s activities in the state as illegal.

Falana, in a letter addressed to the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Abiodun Aikomo, accused him of misinterpreting the appellate court’s ruling, warning that continued disobedience could lead to contempt proceedings.

The letter, which was copied to the Oyo State Commissioner of Police and the State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), warned that refusal to comply with the judgement may attract disciplinary action before the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee.

According to Falana, the Court of Appeal in its judgement in Suit No. CA/IB/263/2022 – National Union of Road Transport Workers v. Governor of Oyo State & 3 Ors., nullified the suspension imposed by Governor Seyi Makinde on the union’s operations, including the collection of check-off dues at motor parks and garages across the state.

The Lagos State Government has been watching closely events in the National Union of Road Transport Workers Union (NURTW). There have been claims and counter claims over the control of the union.

The Government has a duty to ensure the safety of lives and property of all Lagosians and visitors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to douse the unnecessary tension generated by the leadership tussle in the NURTW and protect the citizenry from the likely fallout of the situation.

After considering the provisions of the law, the Government hereby suspends the activities of NURTW, which must cease to operate in all parks and garages in Lagos State. The Government will set up a Committee to immediately take control of the parks and garages. Members of the committee will be key stakeholders

Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years

• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio

•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency

A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.

The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings.
>
>
According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.

The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.

The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.

“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.

It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.

All these things that were built on the foundations of deregulation and privatisation policies enacted by Obasanjo and Atiku.

How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings

Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.

The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.

Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.

The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.

The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.

‘Tactical Ransom or Negotiation?’ Nigerians Question Tinubu, FG as Kebbi, Kwara Terrorists Go Scot-Free

Since the Nigerian government confirmed that the abducted 38 worshippers in Kwara State and the 24 Kebbi schoolgirls had been freed, many Nigerians have been awaiting updates about the arrest or killing of their abductors.

The silence of the federal and state governments on consequences for the perpetrators has led many to believe that the government likely negotiated with the terrorists and paid ransom to have the abductees released.

FIJ called the spokespersons of the Nigerian Army (NA) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Wednesday morning, but neither provided answers to questions about the abductors.

Shortly after Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris and Bello Matawalle, Minister of Defence, announced on Tuesday that the 24 students had been freed, the terrorists who abducted the girls released a video, saying the government negotiated with them for the girls’ release.

MC Oluomo’s hypocrisy is reinforced by jankara lawyers like Falana who was a former member of Alliance for Democracy with Tinubu but has never advocated for progressive ideals of free education for all children. Never did.

seunmsg:
The governor has no constitutional power to ban a trade Union. This has been litigated severally and settled. The only thing the governor can do is ban NURTW from state owned motor parks. Apart from that, you can’t proscribe the Union in the state or stop citizens from joining or participating in the activities of the union.

Do you have a constitutional power to read but fail to understand what you read?

Imọlẹ Ọṣun Adeleke did not ban the agbero union. He suspended their activities in state owned garages.

If Adeleke cannot suspend an agbero union that is causing trouble in the state he governs, then why did you expect Makinde to deal with the terrorists APC used to put murderous fire of kidnapping in Oyo State because he has been the most progressive governor since 1999? More progressive than balablu bulaba town hall Lagos master strategist and his progreThief APC successors, all four combined.

Was that not how Tinubu set Nigeria on fire with APC’s imported terrorists before he went to Kaduna and begged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president in 2015, four years after calling him expired

Lemme help you out, if you have the patience to read.

In the US (Oyibo land), the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. A high-range 3-star hotel can go for up to $250 per night.

If the Oyibo man earns minimum wage, works 8hrs a day, he'll only need to work for 5 days to be able to lodge in a 3 star hotel.

In Nigeria, the Federal Minimum wage is #70,000, you work 8am - 5pm (That's 9 hr days), let's even say 5 days a week (22 days a month).

Thus:
Your daily pay is ~#3,200
Your Hourly pay is ~#385

Which means, you'll have to work for 17 days before you can afford to lodge in a bare minimum hotel in your own country.

So, when we talk, we don't talk blindly like your kinds that react blindly.

May God bless you richly for this analysis.

May He also grant you the strength and patience to enlighten us more about our own situation vis-a-vis other countries.
