Lithiumite: Hej and buhari that didn't tax you,didn't remove subsidy which roads did they build?
Jonathan built the Abuja-Kaduna railway, while Buhari built the 2nd Niger bridge among other infrastructure projects by both presidents.
Meanwhile, when are you sharing the APC manual for using pictures of roads to pay for the subsidy forced on Nigerians due to the corruption in APC's oil sector?
That subsidy forced on Nigerians by APC rogues must be over N1,000 now, don't you think
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.
safarifarms: Quite unfortunate. Real definition of no man is an Island is dawning on Trump. You don't castigate, ridicule and threaten your friends and expect them to continue to be comfortable to play with you.
While I admire his boldness in dealing with Iran that everyone else feared to do, he talks too much and most times carelessly. He has alienated the US from their allies and now he needs them.
Why do you think that they won't join him if he gives them enough motivation to do so?
Is that not how Tinubu is doing with our politicians- bribing them to decamp to Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC for his reelection next year and life presidency 3rd term agenda subsequently
Solofresh2: Cubana Chiefpriest is not a politician. He is a businessman. And businessmen go where the business is.
Last election, business was with Obi. This election, business is with Tinubu. He is not betraying ideology; he is following the money. The only sin is saying it out loud.
The outrage is表演. Everyone knows this is how Nigeria works. The same people criticizing him would do the same if their livelihood depended on it.
Call it opportunism. Call it survival. Call it realism. The name does not matter. What matters is: when the food moves, do you starve or follow?
Chiefpriest chose to follow. And in Nigeria, that is not betrayal. That is strategy
Is that the kind of betrayal, glorified as strategy that has propelled the worst rogue to the highest office in our country, with grievous consequences to every Nigerian
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.
Segunbabba: Chiefpriest speaks about City Boy Movement Further explaining, he said he is seeking a fair share of government, which is why he is partnering with the City Boy Movement and Tinubu.
What does he mean by the bold part, when Tinubu said he has ended corruption in their government of Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
nairalanda1: A lot of people here want NYPD level of police here in Nigeria. NYPD spends 10 billion dollars annually to police 10-20 million New Yorkers.
Seriously man, if you believe that 1 billion can secure 230 Million people, you really need to read more widely.
(FCK PDP and APC).
What is the cost profile of policing in New York compared with the cost profile of policing in our country?
How much do NY policemen earn compared with those in Nigerian? Vehicle, fueling, telecoms, healthcare, insurance etc?
Why did you avoid the question of reconciling corruption and cost of policing?
Meanwhile, fcking the viable political parties won't stope them from determining every single aspect of our lives, so.................

If he was a criminal as you claimed, he wouldn't have had opportunities at those world class institutions.
Next please
Did you read that his properties were seized because he would not pay his debts
I don't like tinubu, not only is he not taking sane decisions that would develop nigeria(HE is taking decisions that would get him elected, not develop Nigeria for posterity), he is also corrupt and then some of the people backking him self.
Same for Obi, and atiku (Buhari and obsanjo sef...wetin dey come forget for state house).
It's kind of insensitve, the way Nigerians abuse each other's tribe because security. When the shoe is on the other foot, dem go complain and cry and scream.
Anyway, anyone who dies in this country, regardless of tribe, has my sympathy. And as I have said here many times...we got to fund the police properly. Spending one billion dollars to secure 230 million people na joke.
How do you reconcile your claim of corruption (which is worse under APC than under PDP) with the one about $1 billion not being enough to secure 230 million people

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.
Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country
The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.
Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....
However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.
Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.
pipnator00: Yea, he should also continue to rule even from his death bed and when he has gone to the great beyond!
That is exactly what Tinubu plans to do with his coercion of opposition politicians who are unwilling to accept his bribes for decamping to Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC.
He is all set for 2027 and a 3rd term agenda for life president like Cameroon's Paul Biya.
Tinubu is obviously smarter than Obasanjo politics wise, since Baba Iyabo failed in 2007 for his own life president 3rd term agenda, despite Ghana must go bags of bribe, thanks to Atiku leading other democracy heroes to kill the bill in the NASS.
nairalanda1: LOL...this is a lie, that I ever believed APC provided electricity to 150 million nigerians.
You guys, the reason why I find it difficult to discuss with you people sometimes is that you misrepresent my views so that you can campaign for your party.
Like I have said many times on this site, we got to have cost reflective tarrifs in place, then maybe we would see investment, and eventually power supply. But it is going to take time, and it would start with cost reflective tarrifs for all
Or do you think that tinubu has put cost reflective tarrifs for all in place? If you beleive that, no womder you believe I ever said or supported useless APC's claim above.
I was being sarcastic with my question/comment, hence the use of
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.
The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”
The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.
It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.
The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”
The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.
It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.
saintopus: Dec 06, 2024 The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai. The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.
The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.
Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.
The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.
The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.
Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.
Iseddy: Local Rice with low quality was becoming unaffordable for the common mass . The government should accept the fact that our local production cannot sustain 1 third of the population.
How come local and even imported rice was affordable during the 16 years of widespread prosperity under PDP deregulation and privatisation policies?
Was the spectacular success in local rice production not the basis of former agric minister Akinwunmi Adesina's World Food Prize, and helped him become AfDB president
nairalanda1: They can't because their operating costs are higher than the Thais and the Brazilians. If they did that they would be broke in minutes and there would be no rice production in Nigeria in a few years
The fact that mills have to run on diesel generators instead of mains power supply, the high cost of transporting rice and the fact that Nigerian rice producers cannot meet national demand fully all contribute to the high operating costs
Are you sure that they are running on diesel generators since Adelabu Penkelemess minister said that 150 million Nigerians have adequate power supply, confirming Fashola's 2015 claim that he would fix electricity in 6 months once we replace PDP prosperity with APC extreme poverty shege
Will karma also restore what they have stolen and destroyed in the last 66 years because we are too lazy to make them accountable, especially the ones we identify with on religious, ethnic and other basis
RevenuesBoost: In all, one has to live right because doing wrong has repercussions.
What repercussions do politicians face in this country, for doing wrong with our revenue boost since 1960, such that we are deprived of basic government services and utilities like
-law and order, -peace, -water and electricity supply, -free education for all children, - free basic healthcare for all residents etc
oz4real83: He will still contest in Nigerian elections or get political appointment after serving his term, this won't dent his image in Nigerian political setting💔

fuckJones: (A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).
During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.
Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?
Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?
Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.
tojahh: When I was small, I thought Nigerians has balls and can't be fooled because of the initial GRA GRA I was seeing back then. Now I realize we are all cowards. 😂
Are we cowards really?
Or are we just tribalistic mumus with misguided aggression and misplaced expectations of our leaders looters
Stephen0mozzy: But it's not everything we'll call government for. Hospital bills are not cheap! So why can't they install solar setup - even if just for bulbs and fan.
Patient care mehn. Let's not justify poor standards. Patient care is a business.
The hospital has an administrator, and that person should be fired if they're not strategic enough to route IGR into bettering the facilities.
What do you expect government to do with your taxes if they can't provide basic things like electricity and water supply?
Do you expect them to simply steal your money?
How many of your local, state and federal government officials have you fired because they were not strategic enough to route your IGR into bettering basic services and utilities, by employing enough workers paid on the basis of 70k minimum wage
DoctorAyukebot: Which kind name for association be this eh..lol
Relax, Tinubu is FINISHING Nigeria, RTIFN.
This is the real meaning behind the acronym, based on the worst performance by the city boy of ever increasing tax burden while national debt burden is also increasing.
