Diamond098454: I Thank God for her life. Nollywood should welcome her immediately Nnayi sacrifice AkA Kanayo. O. Kanayo Mary Njoku IROKO CEO Zubby Michael Lizzy Gold And Co
Do you know what she was diagnosed with? What is the nature of her prolonged health challenges
Onegai: That's why you should not rush into marriage or fatherhood without knowing you have to sacrifice.
Don't enter and later on be selfish and say "I wan enjoy myself and my money" then expect your children to forgive you in your old age.
Stay single, stay childless
Does that advice apply to both men and women who feel entitled in marriage without bringing their own contribution to the family in different ways?
Are there other ways to stay single and have children without the drama of baby daddy or baby mama?
Finally, what is the benefit of having children if you devote your life to them but they don’t have your time in old age? Is it not better to have a dog that will be loyal and stay with you until death?
dequir: Because the Atikustas, on all social media, are not as vociferous and toxic as the obidients (except our anonimi here). They are more rational, and understand national politics better.
michoim: Irrelevant fox thinks their opinion count? Trash
Seven years later, do you know who the irrelevant fox is? Abi you are too busy selling akara in the absence of APC promised jobs, to reflect on your past?
Jobs that pay on the basis of 70k minimum wage, to add value to society, and help Tinubu achieve his trillion dollar economy.
SeeWahala: So if someone sits you down, and asks you . . . will you be voting? Out of the top contending politicians vying for the presidency which of them do you feel at peace voting for? 🤔
What would be your response sir? 🧐
Forget the noise, there is only one person vying to be president next year, and thereafter try to get a 3rd term as life president.
What do you think APC Twitter sympathiser Amupitan’s INEC and Wike’s courts are doing, destroying opposition parties?
iwaeda: Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.
In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.
The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.
Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.
“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”
He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.
“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”
tapboy: “The president himself, prior to coming into office, said that if he didn’t ensure that we had 24-hour power, we shouldn’t vote him in for a second term.
This boy must be speaking from the abroad.
Otherwise he would know that Adelabu Pẹnkẹlẹmẹs confirmed that Tinubu, Buhari and APC have achieved their goal of adequate electricity supply, which Fashola bragged would be fixed in six months if we voted out PDP 11 years ago.
Falz and others should focus their energy on the master strategist’s failure to:
- crash petrol price below N185 that it was in January 2023 when he said he would do it if we allow him to grab power and run with it. - make dollar exchange for N300 in the short term, and he borrowed $3.3 billion SPV loan from Afreximbank for the purpose. - create 50 million jobs to revive the economy.
demstone: B4 TINUBU ABIA, & ENUGU OWED MORE THAN 2YEARS SALARY AREARS ANAMBRA WAS STILL PAYING 18K MINIMUM WAGE IN 2023.. because OF POVERTY GOVERNORS OF ABIA & ENUGU WHERE LIKE BOY BOY TO WIKE TODAY ENUGU IS FUNDING A MASSIVE WATER PROJECT ABIA ND IMO INVESTING IN POWER GENERATION EBONYI ND ENUGU BUILDING STATE OWNED AIRLINES ANAMBRA BUILDING IT'S 1ST GOVT SECRETARIAT EBONYI & IMO PAYING 105K MINIMUM WAGE NOT TO MENTION MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURALROAD INVESTMENT AT STATE LEVEL IN THE SOUTHEAST
Do you think that typing in ALL CAPS TO SCREAM YOUR MESSAGE, will make the lies magically turn into truth?
If Tinubu is responsible for the better performance in the states, why is he struggling to pay minimum wage salaries and unable to pay 35k wage award to federal workers since October 2023, even though he has 53% of the federation account to himself compared to the 27% shared by all 36 states
How much do you think 35k is worth today compared with October 2023? It should be obvious that there is no worse rogue politician than the Jagaban of Borgu. None!!!
Federal civil servants say wage award delay worsening economic hardship
Civil servants have urged the federal government to immediately pay the outstanding two months of the N35,000 wage award.
Abdullahi Musa said prompt payment of workers’ entitlements would boost morale and strengthen confidence in government.
“When agreements are honoured, workers become more committed and productive. We hope the government will fulfil this promise without further delay because many families are depending on it,” he said.
President Bola Tinubu announced the N35,000 provisional wage award on October 1, 2023, as a six-month cost-of-living support for treasury-paid federal workers. The measure was introduced to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal and rising living costs.
Many federal workers, however, said two months of the wage award remained unpaid.
Richtaiwo: Obedients in a conundrum. I can't wait to see the logic they'll use to explain this one. Somehow, they always convince themselves that their logic is the best. After crowning Alex Otti as one of the greatest politicians to ever walk the earth, second only to Peter Obi, they now have to explain how that same Alex Otti is praising the very Tinubu they insist has done absolutely nothing. Selective logic is about to begin. Pass the popcorn.
Your master strategist is in a worse conundrum. I hope you know what RISING means.
Perhaps it is you and Alex Otti alone that have seen the 50 million jobs promised by the Jagaban of Borgu, when he hit the ground running after fighting for power and grabbing it. His wife has obviously not seen any of the jobs, hence why she is advising APC's extreme poverty paupers to sell akara and pay taxes for her family's luxury lifestyle.
anonimi: May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
banku: Bunch of my drug dealers are better than yours. Tinubu was caught with money from a drug dealer in his account. He exposed him and forfeited the money. Case closed. Obi A Drug Baron from his days in the university with several drug mules including Chinenye still in Asian jail. His enablers and peddlers are calling another drug dealer Atiku a chronic looter sold Parastatals to himself and promised to sell more! Which of these 3 leading Presidential candidates would a reasonable people be proud of?
Do you have any other viable candidate apart from the 3?
In fact, Tinubu is the only candidate since APC Twitter sympathiser Amupitan's INEC and Wike's court have ensured no viable candidate will oppose his reelection, even though he is the worst rogue among them.

Abi o, you know the drill of Baba s'ope progreThief politics that has kept Lagosians in Jagaban of Borgu's stranglehold since 1999 without water supply despite 100 times increase in budget.
Lanrelagboi: Lagos has now crossed the 3 Trillion Naira annual budget mark. Crossed 2 Trillion in 2024.
Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.
youngsahito: The same Tinubu that enjoy free education during the tenure of Awolowo and a lot of the greedy old politicians benefited from scholarship are now making it difficult for parents to afford to pay for exam fees.
The mystery is how he was allowed to emerge Yoruba political leader despite his a-looter progreThief record in public service. The agbalowomeri who sees himself as Asiwaju of extreme poverty paupers.
anonimi: Nigeria: Tinubu imposed Fees on LASU - another major attack on Education
06 June 2006
Back in February two Lagos students were killed by police as they protested against the recent hike in school fees. In some cases fees have been increased a hundred times over. This is making it practically impossible for poor and working class Nigerian children to get an education. "The Lagos State university students' union in conjunction with the NANS zone D and NANS JCC Lagos Axis berate the satanic increment in LASU school fees and the killing of some students of LASU during the peaceful protest against the increment in school fees. And call for the immediate reversal of these exploitative fees as a prerequisite to let the less privilege have access to Education".
These was the first paragraph in the leaflet issued by the students' union alongside with NANS zone D and JCC Lagos in February after the students' protest against the fees, which led to the killing of two students by the police on the command of the Lagos State Government.
It will be recalled that immediately after the appointment of a new vice chancellor last year, December 2005, the Tinubu regime of Lagos State announced to Lagos residents that the government could not afford to subsidize education and that in line with the ‘reforms' in the education sector, there cannot be any free education. The university authorities were directed to increase the fees from 250 Naira for old students to 25,000 Naira, while the freshmen's old fee of 1, 000 Naira was increased to N35, 000. This increment exclude the acceptance fees N10,000 introduced earlier to the fresh students two years ago.
It is very important to note that even while the official school fees were placed at N250 earlier, an average student still pays as much as N25,000 to the university or its agents. This takes the form of handouts, registration fees, etc.
Not excluding the current attempt to deny the children of the working class education by the newly imposed post-JAMB test, according to ruling elites, it is to checkmate examination malpractice experienced during jamb exams but from reality, it has been confirmed as another conduit pipe through which money is generated and siphoned without question. This post jamb fee in LASU is N2,000. All these fees stated above do not include various expenses to be incurred while going through the registration processes.
The Tinubu administration carrying out these attacks on students is a master of deception. Towards the end of his first four years, he became one of the most hated governors in Nigeria as he committed enormous atrocities against workers, students and rendered many people homeless. The sacking of over 10,000 workers in 2001/2002 over the N7,500 minimum wage protests is still fresh in the memory of the working class despite the treachery of the labour leadership.
Okay. Not exactly what he said. But that is exactly what he implied. How much is the minimum wage of Lagos state civil servants? He seems to be out of touch and his statements are highly irresponsible!
Governor Babatunde Fashola battled hard weekend, to justify the astronomical hike in tuition fees recently introduced in Lagos State University, LASU, by the state government. Recall that the state government had increased tuition fees paid in the university from N25,000 to N250,000 per session.
Fashola, who spoke at Government College, Ughelli’s, annual luncheon party in Lagos, said Nigerians were unconsciously making the country one where there would be separate schools for the rich and poor.
According to him, critics of the increment are indirectly calling for a Nigerian society which will be divided into poor university for the poor and rich university for rich people.
He said: “Countries that do not prioritise education are always at the mercy of those who place a high premium on education.
“Where in the world have we seen tuition fee of university of N25,000? You cannot find this anywhere. Even the nations that are developed and wealthy do not give education for N25,000.
“LASU started very well and over the years, the population grew and beyond the available facilities and the school began to deteriorate. We are determined to rescue LASU and we will not make it a school for the poor.
“We are unconsciously making Nigeria a society where there will be a school for the rich and one for the poor. “Several people in this country pay so much for education abroad while the schools here continue to deteriorate. It is only in the university that the children of the rich and children of the poor can sit in the same classroom.”
GrammarNazi1: The government should do something to mitigate inflation.
Do you expect the master strategist to finally do what he promised in January 2023- crash petrol price and see inflation reverse trend
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
What would happen to inflation if Jagaban of Borgu achieves his short term goal of N300/$1, for which he borrowed $3.3 billion SPV Afreximbank loan to defend the currency in exchange for future oil sales
anonimi: World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate
April 23, 2023
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.
If Buhari failed to do what he promised because he was a clueless NEPA certificate holder, why should his brilliant Chicago trained APC successor also fail in the same objective?
Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised to ensure that the naira would be equal to the dollar in value if voted into office.
NAN reports that Buhari said this on Monday during the south-east presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar. This does not speak well for the nation’s economy,” he said.
He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment. He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.
Ofunaofu: 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.
ariesbull: There is nothing to speak about ... Inflation has eaten it... What can you buy with ₦20 or ₦50
Amazing one
Is that because APC's Tinubu and Buhari failed to do what they promised, rather they wrecked the prosperity, peace, security with cheap dollars, cheap petrol, low debt, low unemployment etc that PDP handed over to them in 2015
hegelian: any president serious with reducing corruption, increasing transparency and want to put the country back on traack need to make 200naira the highest denomination.. do this and see corruption reduce by over 90% and corruption tracking by over 300%...let me see how anyone is gonna steal 1billion naira in cash and let me see how vote buying will be possible with such...one of the greatest disservice to the country is higher denomination
There are many ways of stealing money without involving cash.
Was there widespread corruption before mid-1980s when civil servants remuneration was not too far from the total package of political office holders, AND there was free education for all children in quality public schools with adequate number of professional teachers, as well as reliable public water supply and other basic services and utilities?
If you want corruption to reduce, do you now know what you should advocate for
Urgent1Million: The cost of printing the lower denominations viz-a-viz the value of the notes themselves makes no economic sense. After all, those notes can't even afford anything in the market. They should just phase them out and let us continue using the higher denominations. Even 100 and 200 naira will soon join their ancestors unless a responsible government with better policies takes over.
You have spoken well on how higher denomination notes will soon need to be phased out if we continue with these worst rogue politicians of All Promises Cancelled, APC.
Can you imagine how much subsidy Buhari and the master strategist of A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC have forced us to pay on each litre of petrol since 2015, because of the massive corruption in their oil sector? It is terrible. More than terrible.
anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
TopBanter: Lol. You guys do not understand Nigerian politics. Remi can call 10 businessmen and raise at least 5 billion by 11:00 am. She is a very active fundraiser and very charitable person. She is the most genuinely benevolent first lady since 1999. You people should stop the redundant negativity. It is not good for your spirit. Celebrate good developments that improves lives and prospects of Nigerians and stop blanket ethno-religious hatred and negativity towards others.
Genuinely benevolent to ask us to work hard and pay taxes to generate revenue for her husband to loot and use in buying more luxury?

BeeBeeOoh: The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”
Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.
She noted that while the Tinubu-led administration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.
The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s administration.
Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.
“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.
“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.
“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.
“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.
“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”
Obi is tormenting himself by showing that he is no different from Tinubu.
NLCreator: Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.
aduboy: Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.
Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.
He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.
“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.
“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”
Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.
“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.
“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”
According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.
“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”
SmartPolician: This is really commendable, but I am just wondering where the first lady got all this money she's throwing around from.
How much is budgeted for office and how come they don't defend their budget in parliament?
As a smartpolician why are you wondering, when you can easily get all the answers from your own senator and representative?
Did they not join their fellow 108 senators and 359 representatives to approve more luxury for Remi Tinubu's family from the taxes of akara sellers? Extreme poverty paupers she advised to sell akara because her hiusband failed to deliver 50 million jobs promised.
Jobs to earn a living in dignity, paid on the basis of 70k minimum wage.
500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.
But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.
He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
moje4: A good one from the Governor. Nigerians are the most talented people on earth. We are truly blessed. Our enemies is our leaders.
How are we unlike the leaders who emerge from our midst in tribalistic zoning and rotation sharing formula of the national cake at local, state and federal levels
Tabithatim: Governor Mbah also reiterated his administration's commitment to expanding access to quality education through collaboration with educational institutions, noting that the state's Smart Green Schools initiative was designed to ensure that every child, irrespective of location, has access to world-class learning opportunities capable of unlocking their full potential.
By how much have his Smart Green schools have changed the ratio of public to private schools in Enugu? Is it better or worse than the miserable 5% of Tinubu's Lagos state after 27 years of progressive a-looter governance that increased budget 100 times ?
Has Mbah employed as many as 19,500 teachers employed by Makinde who does not claim to be a progressive politician like Mbah does in Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC
Babasessy: The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
Didi2d: No mind them. This guys (enemy of Nigeria) will do anything to burn this country. Just because their choice is not the president
Why are you feigning ignorance about the worst enemy of Nigeria, who was allowed to scam us into grabbing power after fighting for it, and hitting the ground running with it into Aso Rock?

EkoIle1: It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.
The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.
Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.
Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.
It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.
Indeed, no part of the country is immune from the virulent but easy attacks, veritable indices of a failing state. Unfortunately, the tenuous and uncoordinated approach adopted by this government betrays a grossly incompetent disposition which stands at variance with current realities in the country, nay the international community where acts of terrorism are engaged and contained. No Governor of a state in Nigeria is the Chief Security Officer. Putting the blame on the Governors, who have been effectively emasculated, for the abysmal performance of the government at the centre which controls all these security agencies, smacks of ignorance and mischief.

Racoon: 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.’’
