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.
Any idea why city boy's forward sales of our crude to secure $3.3 billion SPV loan from Afreximbank, through Elumelu's UBA bank at a ridiculous 11.85% rate has failed to achieve his N300/$1 short term goal after almost three years of hitting the ground running?
ajailer: Who else wants Atiku to retire or step down from active politics if not the obidient camp. Now they are claiming that the fake news is coming from the APC government, is this Atiku guy ever serious at all?
He was serious enough to put his political ambitions at risk by aligning with the constitution and other democracy heroes to stop Obasanjo's 3rd term agenda for life president.
He did that despite Obasanjo bribing NASS members with Ghana must go bags.
Where was serious city boy in 2007, during this democracy struggle
Lifestone: Comments like this portrays Obi incapable of looking after his house.
It may be a greater portrayal of city boy as a pretentious democrat who is nothing but a scheming dictator, with people like Pat Utomi helping further his destructive agenda.
It's quite ironic that party-hopping and confused Utomi was ADC's first presidential candidate in 2007.
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.

Authentic PDP members like Sheriff
anonimi: No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff
Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.
“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.
“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.
tonesky: Wike has always been making idiotic comments.
But the man thinks himself overwise oh, since he has built houses for judges and grabbed land in Abuja .
anonimi: Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT
Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.
Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.
The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.
The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.
The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.
Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.
2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
ddippset: Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.
Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku. He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party.. Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.
This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.
He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.
brain54: Nobody left because of fraud or manipulation...
People left because they were looking for convenient and easier routes and platforms by which they could contest, win and have better political gains or political career advancement.
Wike is consistent. He has always stuck to his position. And has remained with the pdp through thick and thin. Even when he has the chance to decamp to the APC.
You can also check out or read about the reasons he did what he did to the pdp
Wike's brand of politics is crude and like I said you can either love or hate him for how he operates. But they are certain things you can never take away from him and one of those things is his consistency!
People left because they got special palliatives from the $84 billion saved by city boy to hike petrol price instead of crashing it as promised.
No need for long stories.
"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.
I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.
Never bring the name of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) in same lines with industry dogs.
What’s da fwck!
Don’t you have anybody else to compare with?
What due respect is there for your fake life city boy, who has no courtesy nor education to display beyond agberoism, that is made to look nice with balablu propaganda noise
mustykenzy: If the Obi/Kwankwaso combo should come to existence, it would be a big blow to Tinubu because Obi will get the S/east and the North will throw their support to anyone top candidate against Tinubu, not even the Gov. can save him… the tsunami will be massive…
What works are you doing to make the tsunami happen, so we can be relieved of APC's 11 years of extreme poverty shege
Tareq1105: Story to entertain your blind followers. My advice:
Atiku President Obi 1st Vice president Kwakwaso 2nd Vice president Ameachi 3rd Vice president
Tinubu / Shettima will still defeat them.
It is indeed possible that city boy will defeat them to prevent a return to PDP's 16 years of widespread prosperity with low insecurity and low debt burden despite cheap petrol and dollars.
Do you think that is we have too many Stockholm syndrome sufferers who nevertheless see themselves as super smart guys
dfrost: Hache, you just painted the average Nigerian nit just the movie industry. Gbam 💯 👍. Spot on!
Had a boss that earns 5m/month. A client gifted me 500k, he still found a way to cut 200k, but I laughed it off 😂😔.
Niggas behaving like hungry people.
How do you think we can work to evolve out of our greediness that is mistaken for hunger, based on how other races similarly evolved from that phase of sociocultural and political economic mindset
Did he not lead others to stop Obasanjo's 3rd term agenda?
Has he not been consistent with deregulation and privatisation policies that gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity, which was changed into extreme poverty shege from 2015
His democratic records are related to his 2003 opposition to Obasanjo's Lagos grab, which was part of his southwest grab, two years after the death of his AGF Bola Ige.
It also includes his leadership of other democratic heroes to stop Obasanjo's 3rd term agenda.
His governance records are linked to consistency on deregulation and privatisation policies that yielded 16 years of widespread prosperity, low unemployment, less insecurity, low debt burden etc.
anonimi: 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.

Thankfully for Ayédèrú of Aso Rock, there are enough Yorubas, southerners and even Nigerians who can handle his series of betrayal.
Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”
Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.
The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.
“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”
Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”
anonimi: My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola
What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
PappyRome: Is it not the same Nigerians that snubbed APC in the last election but APC still won? Or have you imported more Nigerians for the next election because what I see is that the real voters have even joined APC in more numbers across all states.
Abi o.
What N500 billion palliative from city boy can do for governors, N3,000 palliative from sit tight MC Oluomo can do for deliberately impoverished and poorly educated, Stockholm Syndrome sufferers, to vote Agbero Propaganda Conmen, APC.

Lithiumite: Pdp was too scared to face the challenge tinubu is facing right now......the courage tinubu has yar adua/ GEJ couldn't dare,they ended up spending our commonwealth in trying to make you happy by those things you talked about despite the impending doom.....GEJ himself said it,his minister of finance said it,his cbn gov said it but he was too fickle minded to do what was right.....if they had done it during their time,we wouldn't have long forgotten the pain.
Why is city boy still borrowing more than PDP presidents, after demonstrating that he is not too scared to face the challenges PDP presidents refused to face, in order to avoid killing Nigerians with extreme poverty shege
Lithiumite: That was what got buhari into power,empty undefined policy directions but tinubu was more straightforward and clear about what he wanted to do and we voted him.....
we aren't allowing anyone with no clear policy plan to come scam us in 27 that's why we are asking ADC what they will be doing differently.
Straightforward about crashing petrol price and crashing dollar rate?
Lithiumite: Can you just give us bullet points on all obi has been saying,we are talking policy statements not blank promises if I will create jobs,I will give you fuel,I will put food in your table.....
we are gone past that era of lame campaign promises.
Are you gone past that because All Promises Cancelled, APC has been a disaster since 2015, when they came to change Nigeria but have unleashed extreme poverty shege instead
Lithiumite: ADC should come and tell us what they will do differently.....are they bringing back subsidy,are they going to stop the naira floating and start creating artificial value,are they stopping nelfund,are they stopping state police? That's what we should be hearing from then and not all these unintelligent rants.
Bolaji abdulahi was minister of sports,what did he achieve,did our league improve under him,the Abuja stadium was in ruins,sports development was at its lowest,he couldn't even build and manage 1 single academy.
What is the point of saying things to deaf people who have chosen to perish in blissful ignorance and history phobia?
What did PDP do for 16 years to give us widespread prosperity, cheap petrol, low corruption, low debt burden, low insecurity etc?
Was all these better things driven by deregulation and privatisation policies
RichBoy247: . You go watch tire. Enemies like you will be shamed again
When will the enemies of Nigeria, who are gathered in All Promises Cancelled, APC be shamed?
Abi you are buying petrol for N70 ni
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.
Ewedegubbler: certificate forgers are having a bazaar in APC
Oshiomhole obviously knew what he was talking about when he said that APC is the Assembly of Past Criminals.
The wicked party of the most corrupt politicians is filled with forgers, drug lords, kidnappers, killers, terrorists etc.
It’s a shame that we allow them to use balablu propaganda lies to fight for and to grab power, only to increase tax burden on us and remove subsidy to make petrol expensive, thereby making life unaffordable.
How do we get rid of these clueless rogues from our political system
Dogalmighty17: The world street journal is projecting that by the third week of April, crude will exceed 170 dpb. You've heard of the strait of Hormuz. Let me introduce you to Bab el-Mandeb. Another strait in the Red sea where crude oil ships pass. Who controls this strait? The Houthis. Who are the Houthis aligned with? Iran. So with Hormuz closed and Bab el-Mandeb joining it sometime in the future, we can all kiss our asses good bye.
