These government agencies are the bottle necks for the problem, they should use the Dangote approach.

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.
Rhema04: Where is Nigeria on the list? We should be among top 10
Not only top 10, bro.
We should be at the very top of the list since Tinubu’s APC Pẹnkẹlẹmẹs minister said that 75% of us have adequate electricity, thereby validating Fashola’s promise to deliver electricity in 6 months, once we follow his advice to get rid of PDP deregulation and privatisation prosperity politicians.
tuoyoojo: As you have asked for it, now this is it
"Recall that during the clause-by-clause consideration of the Electoral bill, the Senate, presided over by Akpabio, adopted a motion moved by Senate Chief Whip Tahir Monguno, APC, Borno North and seconded by the Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, APC, Kano North, to reject the proposed Section 60(3)."
In other countries representations seek to enhance laws that strengthen institutions. In Nigeria they actively try to undermine any laws that can enhance institutions. Then when they lose grip on power they start complaining and advocating for those same laws they kicked against when they were in positions on change
Our country of 200 million mumus is truly a joke, where only 10% of the population voted in the overhyped 2023 elections, contributing little or nothing to the political and governance processes at local, state and federal levels but expect bumper dividends of democracy.
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.
Waist focused Natasha secret admirer and his fellow SINators who are majority in APC, are afraid to lose their stealing power that impoverishes Nigerians to the point where the leaders looters are mocking us.
Is it anything more than that?
They want to keep us in their Stockholm Syndrome cages like the chicken in Stalin's story.
Omicronvaccine: Wherever You See Free Food, Eat It - Nigerian Senate President, Senator Akpabio Advises Nigerians
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.
aduboy: Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers Posted by NAN Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.
Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.
He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.
“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.
“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”
Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.
“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.
“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”
According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.
“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”
NLCreator: Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.
Journalist: how do you intend to engage members of your party who are members of the house, so that they can stand different.......?

Lanretoye: Ordinary jamb result,them rig am online…
Is that because of increased corruption in our leaders looters, especially those vuvuzela noisemaking hypocrites of 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.”

Lithiumite: Lasu on universities ranking is still above that one you have in igbariam....
Is this about universities ranking?
Or it is about wickedly hiking fees for all students and then cunningly giving NELFUND loans to a handful of them, for propagandist liars to rejoice at
YourGFsnatcher: I'm not either of their fan, but Buhari was a devil. The kind of corrupt people he put in charge of this country is something else.
Tinubu is better than Buhari in many ways. At least under pressure, Tinubu listens, Buhari doesn't even care. His cabinet members hijacked the government and he doesn't care. This evil spirit constructed railway to Niger Republic, was a jihadist and gave fulani terrorists the power they have now. I'm not sure there's any person more incompetent and evil than Buhari. This is the whose CBN governor printed so much more themselves it sounds like fake news. What has the AG got to with with Abacha loot that he stole from it? Is he finance minister or cbn governor? Naaaaaa, I'm not a fan of Tinubu, but what evil Buhari did to this country cannot matched
How can Tinubu be better than Buhari in corruption when he is borrowing more than his predecessor, despite receiving $84 billion subsidy savings and hitting his higher revenue target in August, claiming he has stopped borrowing
dequir: Don't flatter yourself, you are just a common PDP rabble rouser on Nairaland, working for your daily stipend from Atikulooter.
No more no less.
Are you saying that because you are just a common APC rabble rouser who thinks that others are like you, in your search for daily stipend from jagbajantiis Lagos TAX monster planner that is the worst rogue in Nigeria
Lithiumite: Even the obedient criticising this innovative policy,their principal took tertiary education beyond the reach of the masses by increasing fees in state institutions without no palliative to alleviate the burden.
When and where did Tinubu promise to hike school fees for ALL students and then give NELFUND loans a tiny fraction of those affected
Do you think that your Obidient principal copied Lagos akotileta jẹgudujẹra progreThieves who hiked LASU fees astronomically, while failing to employ well paid professional teachers for the free education of all children, like the UPN progressive governor who established LASU 43 years ago?
Governor Babatunde Fashola battled hard weekend, to justify the astronomical hike in tuition fees recently introduced in Lagos State University, LASU, by the state government. Recall that the state government had increased tuition fees paid in the university from N25,000 to N250,000 per session.
Fashola, who spoke at Government College, Ughelli’s, annual luncheon party in Lagos, said Nigerians were unconsciously making the country one where there would be separate schools for the rich and poor.
According to him, critics of the increment are indirectly calling for a Nigerian society which will be divided into poor university for the poor and rich university for rich people.
He said: “Countries that do not prioritise education are always at the mercy of those who place a high premium on education.
“Where in the world have we seen tuition fee of university of N25,000? You cannot find this anywhere. Even the nations that are developed and wealthy do not give education for N25,000.
“LASU started very well and over the years, the population grew and beyond the available facilities and the school began to deteriorate. We are determined to rescue LASU and we will not make it a school for the poor.
“We are unconsciously making Nigeria a society where there will be a school for the rich and one for the poor. “Several people in this country pay so much for education abroad while the schools here continue to deteriorate. It is only in the university that the children of the rich and children of the poor can sit in the same classroom.”
Lithiumite: Tertiary education in Nigeria had been one of the cheapest in the entire world.....
this has culminated in poor outcomes and grossly underfunded youth camps for decades.
Are you one of the poor outcomes of the cheapest tertiary education in the entire world?
If per chance you didn’t go to any tertiary school, how many people do you know who are the poor outcomes of your cheapest education in the entire world? Will they include Nobel laureate Soyinka, several other global references for excellence in scientific research, medical science, fintech, literature etc
Can you please provide the source of your claim that Nigerian 🇳🇬 tertiary education was the cheapest in the entire world. For what years was that the case since 1914?
Jayhome24: Haaa posthumous degree on a failure is this a joke or something?
Compared with Jagaban of Borgu, Buhari is an outstanding success.
Did Buhari invite America to invade our sovereignty and kill innocent northerners in collateral damages while looking for Muslim terrorists committing genocide against Christians
Did Buhari borrow as much money after his own 2016 subsidy removal?
Did Buhari cause as much suffering to Nigerians from hyperinflation and unemployment?
Did Nigerian gods repeatedly strike down Buhari for his failure in every single aspect of governance
tuoyoojo: The Senate president has no hiding place
The Senate had better "complete" the work and do what Nigerians what. They were elected to represent the wishes of Nigerians
The BVAS worked for Senate and House of rep during the last elections but suddenly stopped worked for presidential.....they said it was a glitch....na so glitch carry inec go manual coalition centre with few people using biro and tipex to "rearrange results"
We had the Telecom infrastructure to transmit results for Senate and House of reps, if they claim there are some interior places with no network, then use starlink as a back up server.
When he said they is national grid collapse, what is inec doing with all the billions allocated for elections. They can get solar powered power banks attached to BVAS machine. Problem solved
The same network that bandits do not have ,is same one they used to call kidnap victims and snap the ransom monies they collected from hapless Nigeria
If Akpabio has done so well, why are they afraid of the verdict of Nigerians...... don't they want to know how Nigerians feel
Is Akpabio the senator of your own district?
What is the role of your own senator in all this lawmaking and updating assignments
What did your own senator tell you about the situation?
Joshcoli: Tinubu is using every possible means to tackle insecurity
This move alone will scare those bastard Fulani terrorist/kidnappers
I think this is a welcome development
God speed sir
Fulani bastards are not involved.
You should look eastwards to see the bastards involved.
Highways: Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'
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
— Adeyinka Grandson (@deyinkagrandson) July 14, 2019
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.
Are you hailing him from the energy you received from your free daily bread palliative since Tinubu and APC are too clueless to create the millions of jobs promised? Jobs that should make people earn a living in dignity.
A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
Ola9ja23: All we want is safety of citizens, it doesn't matter whe43 the support comes from.
Obviously, the emergency live4 or Nigeria are in pain bcs things is working for the good record of Tinubu.
The lobbying of Christians genocide is bringing international attention to the insecurity challenges we are facing. However, solution is inevitable.
2027 is just a free ride for Asiwaju ...
IPOB and disobedients should concede defeat and wait till 2099 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Did you also expect recolonisation of Nigeria 🇳🇬 by Trump and Americans, who killed innocent northerners while looking for Muslim terrorists accused of committing genocide against Christians
Did we have it this bad before Tinubu scammed us out of PDP prosperity and security into APC extreme poverty shege and insecurity
Vixlot: President Bola Tinubu and his supporters are advancing Nigeria anchored on demonstrable achievements, while others persist in the dissemination of falsehoods.
The opposition would be better served by consolidating their resources into productive ventures—perhaps even a catfish farming enterprise that delivers tangible value to Nigerians. In their present state, they fall far short of qualifying as a credible opposition ahead of 2027; seldom has such political inadequacy been so starkly evident in democratic history
How much were school fees before Jagaban of Borgu?
brain54: You have never heard of star link network before...
The excuse Akpabio is giving is not permissible. If results can be transmitted in 90% or at least 80% of the country then it should be given a trial and improved upon with time. It's not compulsory it covers 100%. Laws are supposed to be adaptive to personalized conditions. And room can be made for contingencies.
Akpabio's Senate is just making excuses or just doesn't have the will power to do the electronic transmission thing.
Burob: Just shows that u are not a serious minded person, be there waiting for Tinubu.
Is he no longer the president? The one who has 53% of the jointly owned federation account, which contains all the taxes from us and the taxes received from companies on our behalf
franchasng: This Akpabio has ridiculed his family name just to please Tinubu. Funny enough in highest 10 years from now this same Akpabio will become old and out of power and will be secretly regretting his useless actions of today.
Starlink network is available all over the world even in war torn countries. Even in Iran where Iranian government has been making every effort to jam starlink network, it's still accessible to millions of Iranians, including in Ukraine where Russia have used their highest level of missiles to bombard and destroy all network systems, starlink still work there talk more of Nigeria.
That massive rigging you evil people in APC plan to do in 2027 using manual election result collation so as to return this failed government of a known kleptomaniac tax master will definitely fail
No be today that waist focused SINate president start to dey ridicule himself while he is thinking that he is mocking us.
