Olurondo: Gbenga Daniel will go down in history as the most useless and corrupt governor Nigeria has ever produced.
If he didn’t raise IGR and budget 100 times to trillions in 27 years without much to show for it, then how can he be a more useless rogue governor than city boy
How much was Ogun state budget when he was governor?
BreakingNews21: Hmmm, still wondering how SR rapidly reports these nefarious attacks before well established Naija news outlets 99% of the time.🤔
The established news outlets have been compromised and blackmailed into silence by the balablu city boy who only knows how to increase tax burden on people to brag about August revenue target and no borrowing.
Jagaban of Borgu is completely clueless about insecurity, hence why he was doing expo with El Rufai in London before he was allowed to run with power after fighting and grabbing it, 33 months ago.
Maxymilliano: The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him. According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

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.
66 years without assets, what should we advise 200 million Nigerians?
Should we vote for recolonisation
The recolonisation that city boy has started with his invitation to Trump for the killing of innocent Nigerians under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists committing genocide against Christians.
Sheuns: To those that always make comparisons of ghetto sides of the US to Lagos all in a bid to support useless leadership.
Can you see no US ghetto made the list?
It's quite interesting that city boy CLAIMS to have lived in Chicago as confirmed by his documentary filmmaker, Reno.
The question is whether Chicago residents drink shitty, smelling water from boreholes despite 100 times increase in budget over 27 years as is the case with Lagos state.
lordm: I hope they know Anambra wasn't considered as a city here.
Anambra is not a city. It is a state.
No Anambra city was ever the federal capital of Nigeria, unlike Lagos since 1914, which remained commercial capital after the FCT was moved to Abuja.
Moreover, Anambra does not have the population that generates IGR from tax burden on the people like Lagos, with its trillions annual budget that does not translate to basic services and utilities. This is quite unlike the situation 46 years ago under progressive UPN government.
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
Everything dey climb but exchange rate no gree reach city boy's N300/$1 short term target since May 2023.

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.
Image123: Not the appropriate time to say it is well, even in the well.
In our country of extreme poverty paupers, any time is appropriate to say it is well in the well.............................otherwise how will we SINK further into our collective penury and deprivation of basic government services and common utilities
epainos: So, progress is what you call what OBJ, Yaradua, and Jonathan did?
You need to stop being an errand boy to politicians. No one who follows Dazieni's court case will ever pray for PDP. And do you want me to open Yaradua's flaws? And OBJ.
See eh. Don't mention me again because only your "belle" and a selfish nature will support PDP. People wey suppose be in jail.
And as we move on, the laws God will make the senate pass will crush the career, ambition, and interests of people like you. I pray to seesuch Nigeria soon in Jesus' name. Since I know your type, the next action is silence.
If PDP politicians are supposed to be in jail, where should their MORE corrupt and MORE clueless be?
In hell, after they have been stoned like in shariah
socialmediaman: The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.
There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.
Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.
In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.
There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.
epainos: All odds are against Atiku in my opinion. He couldn't win before Tinubu became the president, and he wants to win now. I laugh in Swahili. He needs to ask Bode George who Tinubu is. Lol.
And for the fact that he has managed to pull the US to his side, Atiku should forget it as long as the Republicans are on the throne.
As for me, improvement in the electoral laws is what I am after. We just should find a way to make the senate provide dedicated server for direct nd real time transmitting and votes. And also gice at least 10 years imprisonment to electoral criminals.
We may not achieve everything like I wrote in my previous post during Tinubu's era, but the win we have already is a progress. Let's see if the opposition can use this Abuja issue to make the senators return to the house toadd more clauses that favor the common man who wants free and fair elections. The more we can get, the closer we are to liberation. So, I really don't care who wins the next election....I just want the process fixed...and we are getting there gradually. Every election we have been having since democracy especially after we introduced BVAS has been giving us significant hope that we are getting closer.
My prayer now is that Atiku and Obi should fight for more clauses included on the law before the next election. Such that people like Wike are barred from going round to supervise his "will" imposed on voters while pretending he was doing the right job. People like that should get 10 years inside kirikiri "straight up".
If you are only after improvement in electoral laws, don't uyou want improvement in our socioeconomic conditions like we had for 16 years under PDP's deregulation and privatisation policies
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.”
Burob: Very ironic that the same people u despised just a few years ago i.e. Atiku & El Rufai, today bitterness has turned u into an advocate & defender of those same corrupt people, & their practices.
Chai, what a pity indeed.
How is correcting misinformation equal to advocate and defender of anyone?
And concerning corrupt people, how is Atiku & El Rufai MORE corrupt than city boy who has trillions of Lagos budget annually but no water provided, no free education for all children?
JagaBandeet is also borrowing more than PDP politicians who gave us cheap petrol and better life. What do you think he is doing with the mega trillions federal money since May 2023 such that even ministries are starved of funds
Can A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC survive without lies that they have renewed hopelessness of changing into truth by simply repeating them?
Mikano refutes claims of being owned by Atiku July 25, 2022
Nigeria’s former Vice President and current presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, is not the owner of Mikano International Limited, the management of the firm announced on Sunday.
It disclosed this in a statement signed by its Managing Director, Firas Mamlouk, as it denied reports that the generator firm was owned or affiliated to the former vice president.
Various social media posts had claimed that Abubakar was the owner of Mikano International Limited, a Nigeria-based company that was established in 1993 and deals with power generation, steel fabrication, electrical products, and solutions.
Reacting to the claims on Sunday, the firm said, “The attention of the management of Mikano International Limited, promoters of Mikano Generators (among other products), has been drawn to numerous articles and press statements stating that the company is owned by/afflliated with Atiku Abubakar, GCON.
“This disclaimer is a notice to the general public that the news does not represent the true facts as it concerns Mikano International Limited.”
“Please be informed that Mikano International Limited is not owned, affiliated, associated, authorised, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Atiku Abubakar, GCON. Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the news.”
galantjoe: Atiku, you re an old cargo. Give way, rest and wait for your death. Atiku you can't eat your cake and have it. Atiku na you make PO to lose last presidential election due to your greediness. Na you make Wike aligned with BAT thus forming formidable force that forced every state gov to become APC.
Atiku you re destroyer of Nigeria democracy. Indirect Suppressor of opposition party due to your greediness and inordinate quest to win presidency at all cost
Why are you twisting facts about Wike's destructive role in our democracy due to his overwise greediness
While you are entitled to your opinion, you are not entitled to twisting facts.
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.
galantjoe: Atiku, you re an old cargo. Give way, rest and wait for your death. Atiku you can't eat your cake and have it. Atiku na you make PO to lose last presidential election due to your greediness.
Na you make Wike aligned with BAT thus forming formidable force that forced every state gov to become APC. Atiku you re destroyer of Nigeria democracy. Indirect Suppressor of opposition party due to your greediness and inordinate quest to win presidency at all cost
Why are you twisting the facts to suit your own narrative
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
Kushites: THE WEST IS NOT RICH BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE ''INTELLIGENT''.
THEY ARE RICH BECAUSE, IN THE IRON AGE WHERE SWORDS AND SHIELDS REIGNED FOR MILLENIA, CREATING GLOBAL MILITARY BALANCE, ALMOST AS IF BY UNIVERSAL AGREEMENT, THE EUROPEANS, LACKING MORALS AND SPIRITUAL VALUES (DESPITE THE FAKE JESUS RUBBISH THEY INVENTED TO DECEIVE YOU), STOLE GUNPOWDER MIXTURES THE CHINESE WERE USING FOR FIREWORKS AT FESTIVALS, AND USED THEM TO BUILD MASS KILLING WEAPONS LIKE GUNS AND BOMBS, WHICH THEY USED TO INVADE, LOOT AND DESTROY CIVILISATIONS THE WORLD OVER, MASS MURDERING, ENSLAVING, AND COLONISING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AT GUN POINT, AND PLUNDERING THEIR RESOURCES.
THAT'S WHY THEY ARE RICH.
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE ''INTELLIGENT''.
UNLESS 'INTELLIGENCE' FOR YOU IS THEFT, BRIGANDAGE, PLUNDER AND MASS MURDER OF INNOCENT POPULATIONS TO STEAL THEIR WEALTH AND ENRICH YOURSELF.
Oyo Alaafin was filled with MORE intelligent people than those in their vassal kingdoms hence why they engaged in theft, brigandage, plunder and mass murder of innocent populations of the vassal states to steal their wealth and enrich Oyo empire.
Ditto for Bini kingdom, Sokoto Caliphate and other African empires that were overtaken by MORE intelligent Europeans.
Abass07: This is absolute bullshit. She's trying to save face. She's not even apologetic. It's time to cancel her. It's already been confirmed that she's a pedo.
If only you used this energy to cancel the looters we hail as tribal leaders in sharing the national cake, maybe we would not be the extreme poverty capital of the world, with the highest number of children out of school.
Have you heard of misplaced priorities before

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria also ranked worst in Africa. Nigeria’s low voter turnout
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.
It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.
Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.
ObiPandora: Do you havs pipe borne water in Abia Anambra Enugu n are these photos of completed projects by Igbo governors you want us to compare with Dapo Abidoluns project ?
HOW do you know whether I am from any of those states, and not from Lagos?
Moreover, did I not say governorS?
Now that we have clarified your erroneous statement, can you answer the question of how many road pictures you are using to buy shitty borehole water because governors fail to employ workers to provide pipe borne water
43Ronin: See 1 below, you want more, as I post, post your own before and after too.
How many of the pictures can be used to pay for expensive shitty water from boreholes, because governors fail to employ workers to make pipe borne water available to all households
Omeleyi: Gov Mbah is really making SE proud. He is a tireless man working for his people, no time to playing to the gallery.
Man is too focus to dey shalaye. He's one in a million. Kudos to Gov Mbah of enugu state
Making you proud with pictures of road construction that has not even started?
How many of the pictures can you use to pay fees in private schools because this APC progreThief governor has failed to employ enough teachers to make primary, vocational and secondary education free for all children?
Abi your tireless and focused governor has employed up to 19,500 teachers like PDP’s Makinde in Oyo state
MIKOLOWISKA: now where is the massively expanded basic utility
Awoof de run bele oga
Where did you get this idea of awoof from?
Pipe borne water supply is paid for at a lower rate than shit_infused borehole water, just as national grid electricity is cheaper than I better pass my neighbour generator.
What is required of state governments, is the initial outlay for the facilities and subsequent maintenance by well paid civil servants.
Don’t governments raise taxes from the public, and on their behalf? If governments don’t use taxes to provide basic services and utilities, then what do you expect them to do with the money?
princepee: Just imagine old APC and New APC? The truth is that politicians don't really care about party. But personal interest.. Ibori daughter was attacked but One innocent man is in the hospital. . Whatever you do don't die for any politician. Because they don't care... A word is enough for the.......
Whether you die for politicians or you no die, how will it affect them deciding everything about your life in the society at local, state and federal levels?
By the way, do you care about anything other than your own personal interests? So why do you expect politicians to be different, even though they emerge from ordinary people like you
Guestmale: She said she had no idea Africa had 54 countries, and thought it was just one country filled with villages of starving people needing western aid and charity donations.
What a crass ignorance from a so called civilized citizen.
Apart from your own ethnic group, what do you know about the other ethnic groups in Nigeria, which are over 300?
If you don’t know most of them, does that alone make you a crassly ignorant person
Hemanwel: Many of these white guys are never as intelligent as we perceive them to be.
I have seen plenty of live videos where many white people are interviewed and asked about African countries, food, music, etc, only for them to be blabbing.
Fortunately for them, knowledge about extreme poverty Africa is not a worthwhile activity.
If MANY white guys are not intelligent, then why are we flocking to their countries, where government services and public utilities are available for everyone
anonimi: The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience
JUNE 24, 2019
The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.
Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.
Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.
Macnnoli4: I don't understand Western education system there sha, it is like 90% education and 10% propaganda. I mean despite the fact that European countries inadvertently helped modernising Africa through colonialism, their people are still ignorant of how modernised Africa is today.⁴
After oyinbos left almost seven decades ago, we have deliberately destroyed their modernisation works, to the extent that we are begging them in various ways, to come and recolonise us.
Take Lagos for example. After 27 years of increasing the budget 100 times from higher tax burden on the people, Tinubu and his puppet successors have failed to employ enough workers to make water available.
City boy has left Lagosians to blow up on detty, smelling, shitty water like kwashiokor babies.
Unfortunately, the other 35 states and FCT have emulated the state of excellence.
