Seun: I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features.
It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.
I hope that this focus on the backend will secure the site against hackers who want to destroy it like they did in 2014 after PDP’s Fayose won against APC’s Fayemi.
You have mentioned the issue that needs fixing- moderating content, comments and contributions posted to avoid ridicule, like the one being experienced on the ADC registration portal.
Don’t you think that it’s good for the worst Stockholm Syndrome leaders looters who have been allowed to emerge from among us into public office
What can you contribute to the political process to ensure that the worst looters don’t emerge into positions at local, state and federal levels in legislative and executive offices?
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.
seunowa: One question you need to ask yourself is if that tik tok video is real-time because many of you have slow and low understanding.
What question should speaker Abbas ask himself and his fellow APC progreThief politicians about electronic voting, 11 years after they were allowed to replace PDP prosperity with their extreme poverty shege
infotrust: Opposition party, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has demanded that it is time for the country to embrace electronic voting in order to ensure the integrity of its elections and hand over the elections back to Nigerians instead of the judiciary.
In a statement issued on Sunday, by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, ACN declared that with electronic voting, the overall cost of elections will be less and there will be stability in the polity.
Referring to the overwhelming deployment of security operatives during elections, the party added that the atmosphere of war usually associated with elections will disappear and the involvement of the security agencies will be de-emphasized.
Admitting that Section 52 (2) of the Electoral Act bans the use of electronic voting for the time being, ACN urged the National Assembly to move quickly to amend that part of the law while it called on the federal government to provide INEC with all the resources needed to make electronic voting a reality.
”While electronic voting is not a magic wand, it is the surest way for Nigeria to join the league of countries that have wiped out electoral fraud, which is the worst form of corruption. It is also the best way to hand over Nigeria’s elections back to Nigerians, instead of having the judiciary determine who wins what contest. Two years is long enough to achieve this,” ACN said.
The party noted that Ghana, which has organized perhaps the best elections in this part of the world, has realized it can no longer continue with manual voting; hence it did not wait for troubles associated with electoral malfeasance to break out before embracing electronic voting during its last general elections in December.
”It is not just enough for us to sit back in envy while the world hails our neighbor Ghana for being a model in electoral rectitude and participatory democracy. Let us ask ourselves what we need to do differently, to shed our toga of electoral fraud and brigandage”
”Yes, there were some hiccups during the last elections in Ghana, which were conducted with electronic voting. But Ghana quickly moved to correct whatever problems came up. The system also allowed Ghana to extend voting without fearing that ballot boxes will be hijacked or stuffed,”
ACN said it is true that Ghana’s last presidential election that was conducted with electronic voting is currently being challenged in court, ”to the best of our knowledge, that’s the only case being contested in court since the elections ended.”
”It is totally unacceptable and indeed an anomaly for a nation of 160 million people to hand over the determination of its elections to a few ‘wise’ men and women on the bench.”
“One result of Nigeria’s successive failed elections is that it has brought corruption to the judiciary. It is time to free judges to do their duties and allow Nigerians to play more roles in determining who governs them,” it said.
The party pledged its support for e-voting stating that ”we assure INEC of our full support towards using electronic voting in 2015.”
It also appealed to other political parties, Civil Society Organizations and all Nigerians to join it in pushing for a system that will “eliminate the role of thugs and side line vote thieves during our elections, in addition to making our elections free, fair and credible” the statement read.
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.”
Peacecore: You're speaking English. As far as none of them is a saint relax and allow the stronger crook win am
Stronger crook not lesser crook, is that how your little 🧠 expects Nigeria to be a better place instead of exporting our meagre resources and even people to where they have the least crooked politicians in charge
ufotunang: Instead of them to cooperate among themselves.. opportunity for accord party to have a governor..
Adeleke has more chances of winning the election more better than the other candidate clement Bamigbola..so let them cooperate with Adeleke incumbent governor and win the election...or they is an external influence causing all this problems
The OP is just deceiving himself thinking he is deceiving others. Adeleke is a goal on 15 August.
Osun gov: INEC unveils details of candidates as Adeleke retains deputy February 16, 2026 8:51 pm
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has retained his current deputy as his running mate for the August 8 governorship election.
Details published by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the state on Monday also showed that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Oyebamiji, picked a former lawmaker who represented Ife North State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, Tunde Olatunji, as his running mate.
With your big 🧠, is he a worse rogue than APC leaders looters who failed to pay salaries and pensions when PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity and a strong Naira
WizardOfNG: These sort of commendable achievements are the reasons the children of OBJ, Atiku, El Rufai etal are fiemly behind Tinubu and looking to be mentored by him.
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.
Adblg0610: Regardless, a statement like this coming from even a dog in Obasanjo’s household is very significant. However, it’s true that rising reserves, a steadier exchange rate, and lower inflation boost confidence in the naira and protect purchasing power. Strong capital inflows, improved trade balances, and sound, predictable policies further support a stable and balanced foreign exchange market.
What is the debt burden and unemployment rate?
Are they also rising? Rising faster than the reserve
Vanpascore: He is an opportunist not a politician. A good politician will find all possible means to port to APC, can you imagine a sitting governor been rejected by APC! He is a gooner!!
If he wins through ballot, which I doubt, court will remove him.
What would a good administrator do, since Adeleke is a better by far administrator than the Hafusa rogues in APC
Femimichael99: Until we have someone outside to tell us how our economy is doing, we inside should be the one to tell if the economy is doing well or not. Just so funny looking for someone outside to tell us the truth.
If it is true that the economy is doing well then why are we borrowing more than when PDP’s deregulation and privatisation politicians gave us cheap petrol, high employment productivity, low insecurity and widespread prosperity?
How can the economy be doing well while Tinubu is hoarding money for ministries’ capital projects, hoarding money for salary awards and struggling to implement his own minimum wage for all federal workers?
Ubanz: The West would never be happy to see the Naira appreciate. They'd rather massage ur ego.
Is that what this German is doing for the failure of Tinubu and Buhari to improve the economy and make the exchange rate better
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.
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.
Nemere2020: The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.
He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.
He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Dalohad: To be frank, I wish Late Buhari died the way the Ayatollah died, with fire and shrapnels all over his body..
Buhari was a wicked man who deserved no mercy, here or in the afterlife .
All death na death anyway..
In what way is Buhari more wicked than the man he handed over to, as reward for fraudulently packaging him as APC messiah four years after calling him expired
hope4nigeria: we thought Danzuki was the highest looter until Tinubu and his miscreants came on board, we now know Danzuki just collected change
City boy is the worst rogue among the looters we allow to emerge from among us into leadership positions.
No contest!!!
27 years of his master plan for Lagos State has reformed tax burden to grow IGR and budget 100 times without commensurate impact on government services and public utilities. What do you think is happening to the trillions annual budget if Lagosians are paying heavily to drink shitty borehole water and send their children to private schools?
Now that we have given him his own turn at the federation account, he is converting other governors and other politicians into Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC. This is where everyone is a redeemed saint who can no longer commit sin, if he remains loyal to APC Ogas at the top.

How many fire US fired in Venezuela, how many now in Iran?
Just as Venezuela is not Nigeria, where our leaders looters invite America 🇺🇸 to violate the territorial integrity, killing innocent northerners under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists accused of Christian genocide, as a prelude to recolonisation
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s Maduro is still alive. Where is Iran’s Khamenei?
For how much longer will the strait of Hormuz be blocked?
Why didn't your lord Satanyau and his 25 litre keg face paedophile just go into Iran 🇮🇷 too and capture the supreme leader just like you claim they did to Sadam

gaskiyamagana: Once again Iran is not Venezuela has started manifesting.

How far kiddooosss Know your limits na advice, no be abuse.
OLAADEGBU: 'All indications show this tyrant is no longer with us.'
seunmsg: Nigeria should be very worried. This is no longer looking good. Over 20million barrels of crude oil passes through that strait daily. Oil prices have soared in response. If this continues, crude oil will go out of reach and global economy will collapse. The price of PMS will go over N1000 very soon in Nigeria.
Why can’t the government use the increased oil windfall to subsidise PMS
How else did Tinubu plan to fulfill his 2023 January promise to crash petrol price?
When some of us are advocating for a younger man that is agile and vibrant to take over the reins of power, some elements will say they prefer a grandfather to laud over.
But I hope this embarrassing video of moment that Paul Biya of Cameroun didn’t know where he was, at the recently concluded US-Africa Summit in Washington DC.
His aide kept trying to prompt him to give his speech after Paul Kagame of Rwanda had spoken but the old man was too unaware of everything to be aware of anything, as he farted intermittently.
It was the president of South Sudan 🇸🇸 urinating on himself in public.
Now, president of Cameroun not being aware of his environment.
Is that what we want for our country Nigeria 🇳🇬 too?
deji17: No doubt. With Zamfara joining the wagon, how many states remain? 5
1. Osun is a go. (Opposition in name) State is Jagaban 2. Oyo is a go. (Opposition in name) State is Jagaban 3. Anambra: Governor leaning Tinubu, not with opposition. 4. Abia : Governor leaning Tinubu, not with opposition. 5. Bauchi: Governor is doing hide and seek but lean APC
This is looking more like the entire 36 states are under one Party.
Unprecedented!
Is it also unprecedented that Tinubu will get 3rd term and become life president thereafter?
Something that Obasanjo tried and failed to achieve in 2007 because Atiku led other democratic heroes to kill the bill despite Baba Iyabo’s Ghana must go bag bribes to NASS members.
lionshare: I think your are not thinking this through —if prices fall as a results of cheaper alternatives and you decide to close your operations. There’s no way your absence can lead to scarcity since you didn’t cause the initial reduction in prices. You get?
If imports are cheaper than local productions then we will simply imports because that increases disposable income of the people.
Your absence will lead to reduced supply in the market, not so?
How will perpetual imports affect your exchange rate and spiral into inflation?
