Whois: Any bill that will reduce insecurity should be welcomed.
But I wonder why data boys are against it
Any idea why we didn’t have such an American 🇺🇸 bill to reduce insecurity in Nigeria 🇳🇬 when PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity and high employment productivity that kept people too busy to be enticed by terrorists and other criminals
Is that the deal Trump made with Tinubu and his pastor wife after using the claim of Christian genocide as excuse to violate our sovereignty and kill innocent northerners?
Is this what Americans are doing in Congo after the fake peace agreement with Rwanda
Not surprised it is oncoming from a highly intellectually minded person. He knows what drives development that benefits all.
Same Nigerians compares our great country with UK, Canada and the USA, but still won’t applaud the gesture. They ready to pay taxes on everything they own in those countries but not ready to drop a dime in their own country.
We learnt from the best and that we implementing.
God bless Gov Otti!
Is it in Chicago or London or Paris or Toronto or what other city in America, Britain, Canada or France that they drink shitty, detty, disgraceful, smelly water because the TAX monster planner steals money that should employ well paid civil servants to make water available to every household
Sugarboyy: Are you judging based on what's happening in your state? For emphasis, please let us know the last time you heard a governor owes salaries, unlike before.
Also, your governor might not be using your state resources well, but you see my Edo State governor? That man has turned Edo state to a construction site 🚧🏗️. Even his critics in Edo then are now clapping for him
How many pictures of the construction sites are you using to buy goods and pay for services in the absence of government jobs to provide public utilities and common services for everyone?
Do you use those pictures to pay private school fees because your ọpọlọ governor has not employed enough teachers to make education free for all children, even though he is a progreThief APC member? Abi he has employed as many as the 19,500 that Makinde recruited in five years without calling himself a progressive governor like Ambrose Alli was?
zinaunreal: I have no problem with Tinubu. My problem is with the 35 remaining governors of these states.
I wonder what they are doing with all the money allocated to them. The lay man can't feel the dividends of Tinubu if he doesn't pressure these greedy people to work. That's why an ordinary person who has no idea of politics will shift the entire blame to the federal level, mean while the state is to blame
Don't come telling me they are paying salaries. Is that one development?
Do you know that Tinubu has 53% of the federation account for himself as the federal government while the 36 states have only 27% to share AMONG themselves?
What is the logic of blaming someone who has less than 1% of public money and leaving out the guy who has 53%? Did you reflect on that before you commented
When PDP deregulation and privatisation policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity, did you hear Tinubu and other APC leaders looters wailing about the 36 governors? Do you know why they didn’t do that, when they were fighting to grab power and destroy Nigeria with their clueless palliative sharing, extreme poverty shege that was fraudulently sold as positive change 11 years ago?
What has changed since 2015 for better in Nigeria 🇳🇬? Can you mention any better change in our country in the last 11 years
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.
Hotfreeze: Apparently, as at when Fayose was a Governor, you were busy rolling tyres and chasing chickens in Abakaliki.
Stick to supporting Obi. You are too small, insignificant and ignorant to contribute to this topic.
Is ologogoro Wike not too small, insignificant and ignorant for Fayose to be his errand boy lackey
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.
He has thrown his colleague Shuaibu and Atiku their master under the bus.
This is not the focus of the reply.
It’s a dare to the poultry governor who has made himself a lackey to Tinubu because he owes him protection from Buhari and Oshiomhole’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.”
sammsimm: I like roforofo fight.. they are free to kill themselves I don't give a fuvk. Atiku oo Obi oo Tinubu oo etc none of them cares about the masses..
did Obi turn Anambra to Dubai during his 8yrs as the Governor of the state?
Do the masses care about themselves, seeing as they don’t want to be part of the political and governance processes but want to reap dividends of democracy?
anonimi: “The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.
He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.
The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

Racoon: The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria is the second country in the world with the lowest voter turnout, worse than war-ravaged Afghanistan and Libya, a new ranking by Picodi has shown.
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.
Heffalump: Some of you like hiding from the truth. What exactly do you mean? Even Fulani militias and social media netizens of Fulani extraction have confirmed this allegation in the past. The Chinese are not here with clean hands.
Have you seen China or Russia ever bothered about the insecurity in Nigeria and Africa as a whole? They're all benefiting from the civil unrest and terrorism.
How is this different from what the Americans are doing?
What is Trump doing with Venezuelan oil?
What a he doing with Congolese resources, after his fake peace deal with Rwanda
Why can’t we Africans understand that no one cares about us beyond what they can steal from us?
CyynthiaKiss: It’s just a survival of mankind.. As it’s now, many Nigerians won’t have a second thought of joining that war if an opportunity presents itself as long as it would pay their bills ..
People still go to Europe with small boats despite knowing that the chances of surviving is very slim..
Bad leadership has crippled Africa.. Sad situation!
Why do we Africans allow bad people emerge from among us into leadership positions in local, state and federal government offices in both the legislative, executive and even judiciary branches
KennethOkonkwo: Mention one major project done by PDP turned ADC did for Igbo in 16yrs of being your masters apart from giving your elites some appointments
Were Igbos like Kenneth Okonkwo excluded from the widespread prosperity of PDP years
Nigeria keeps frustrating new investors. I know this because an American company wanted to come in some years ago and they ran away.
Our levels of corruption are mind-boggling. Contracts that should have at least 20% indigenous ownership, will be made to be crony capitalism, squeezed until youe unsure of profits and constant threats upon your head if you don't comply; and how you'll be worried your investment will go to waste.
You must be living in a Nigeria 🇳🇬 different from the one that exists in the lootocracy minds of APC propagandist liars o.
Burob: I remember that morning in 2013, when I was watching Jonathan Ebele on TV handing out certificates, & I was wondering who are these people this man is handing over our electricity infrastructure to?
What technical competence in petroleum refining did Dangote possess when PDP licensed him to operate a refinery
yarimo: so decamping to opposition party automatically qualified you to be above the law?
How did you get to your above the law conclusion when Tinubu and his fellow rogues in Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC are the most lawless rogues in Nigeria

Toolegit123: It isn't a pity that someone like Hell Rufai despite all his atrocities could still be gallivanting around and feeling like a saint?
Someone who shoulda been behind bars a long time ago.
Did he commit your atrocities before he rescued Tinubu from his cluelessness in Chatham House, where your city boy had no idea what he was being asked?
Or did El Rufai commit your atrocities after Chatham House
Are you sure you know what ingrate means, or you are just mixing up the ingrate between the two politicians
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.
Svoboda: Ribadu has always been paperweight. Do you know what it means to always lose primaries in your state without having a chance to contest in a real governorship election.
The last one got me shaking my head when he lost to Binani.
How did he allow himself to be used in 2011 by Tinubu as ACN candidate before he was thrown under the bus at the last minute
You would think he is smart enough to read the room.
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.”
So lately I've been in contact with my ex girlfriend who's now supposedly a happy married woman, according to what I was told initially . Tho it on Whatsapp when I got a message from her,but I tried to be careful and mindful while conversing with her.
After a while,one thing led to another and I curiously asked her if she was really happy in her marriage. To my greatest surprise,she said NO,and she didn't even end it there. She said she regrets getting married to a man who's old enough to be her father. Mind you, she's in her late 20's while her husband seems to be in his early 60's. They've got a son together
Well,I just told her plainly,that I shouldn't be the one she should be complaining to . I only asked her a simple and polar question,and she ended up pouring out all her pains and agony before me as if I was amongst her kinsmen that took bride price from her husband Because I could remember we were still dating when she left me for him, thinking everything that was glittering then was gold .
The funny thing was that it didn't end there, because ever since then,she has been on my neck,from one polite billing to the other. And to be honest,I don't want to and will never have anything to do with her . I'm even Planning to block her number if she wouldn't stop pestering my innocent single and not searching life
Now,the real problem is that,for the past one week,her messages have been popping on my phone like steadily . And which has left me wondering and pondering , are married men not spending quality time with their wives ? 🤔. Is marriage not really enjoyable like those married folks makes us believe, especially on social media? Those of you who are married and happy in your marriages, please come in and give those us who are about to consider getting married in the future some tips on how to make a happy home.
9jatriot: The same people who were claiming if there was a security report against him why was he not arrested are the same set of people now crying betrayal upadan.
Since Tinubu entered in 2023, there is nothing I can remember that he was wrong about. When he said subidy is gone, many questioned the motive and timing, today he has been vindicated.
when Emefiele was arrested, or even Malaimi, today we can see how they contributed to the destruction of the economy.
How has the worst rogue in history been vindicated about his announcement of subsidy is gone when NNPC is still paying subsidies for imported petrol even though price has skyrocketed
HighChiefZino: I strongly dislike APC; however, I am not in support of this man either.
His tenure was nothing short of a horror movie for Christians, especially those in Southern Kaduna
If that’s true then why did Tinubu rely on him for help in answering questions about insecurity at Chatham House before Jagaban of Borgu was allowed to grab power and run cluelessly with it
DeltaBachelor: lol. Abeg wetin Seyi Tinubu face Dey do for Campaign vehicle.
Abi the guy too Dey come for governor ?
Ehn now. Why not if not.
Ṣebi they are stealing our money and bribing our politicians to get life president for emperor Tinubu through a 3rd term agenda after 2027 reelection.
Why won’t the emperor have his son and other family members in key positions to secure his throne?
Tinubu is clearly not Obasanjo who failed to get his 3rd term because Atiku led other democratic leaders to kill the bill, despite Ghana must go bags of bribes to NASS lawmakers.
