Why are you not also having renewed hope for wicked, ologogoro, land grabbing Wike to pay up and promote FCT workers as expected in law
Why does he love denying workers benefits even though Tinubu exempted him from the TSA account for the higher revenue he has been generating since 2023
anonimi: FCT Teacher’s Strike: The unfolding crisis that has kept Abuja’s children out of school for months
The industrial action is the third in a series since late 2024.
ByQosim SuleimanandZainab Adewale July 2, 2025 Reading Time: 4 mins read For over three months, public primary school pupils in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have been out of the classroom due to a teachers’ strike.
The industrial action has seen multiple suspensions and resumptions and is the third since late 2024.
Mosco100: As blacks, we should build yourself and not perpetually wait for a foreigner to do it.
China built herself and did not wait for America or Europe to come and build her.
How can we build ourselves if we don’t prioritise our own commonwealth for the employment of well paid professional teachers to educate all our children free in public primary, vocational and secondary schools?

anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
Mosco100: Black man; leave Donald Trump and go and build your own country/continent.

TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
bentenny: States are not even supposed to be under the national grid with the signing of that electricity act!
It’s been three years since the Act was signed but Sanwo Olu has failed to show that Fashola was not being clueless about what he said below.
pendy79: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.
The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.
While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.
He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.
CaseSensitive: What else ISN'T collapsing in Nigeria?
The leaders looters of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC are yet to collapse for us to return to PDP’s deregulation and privatisation politicians who gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity, low corruption, low inflation, low interest rates, low national debt burden, low unemployment rates, low insecurity.
It’s not for corp members, it’s for two rural communities in Nigeria.
That’s a wonderful thing that will revive the healthcare sector. It will improve healthcare of all Nigerians. No more strike actions from healthcare workers
What are the 774 constitutional LGAs supposed to be doing with the trillions monthly allocated to them directly since 2024 when the SCON ordered Tinubu to pay them
The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 provides in the Fourth Schedule the main functions of Local Governments in Nigeria as follows: –
(a)the consideration and the making of recommendations to a State Commission on Economic Planning or any similar body on: (i) the economic development of the State, particularly in so far as the areas of authority of the Council and of the State are affected, and (ii) proposals made by the said Commission or body; (b) collection of rates, radio and television licences; (c) establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds and homes for the destitute or infirm; (d) licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically-propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts; (e) establishment, maintenance and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks and public conveniences; (f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as maybe prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State; (g) naming of roads and streets, and numbering of houses; (h) provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage and refuse disposal; (i) registration of all births, deaths and marriages; (i) out-door advertising and hoarding; (ii) movement and keeping of pets of all descriptions; (iii) shops and kiosks; (iv) restaurants, bakeries and other places for sale of food to the public, (v) laundries, and (vi) licensing, regulation and control of the sale of liquor.
Apart from these exclusive functions, the function of Local Governments shall include participation of such Councils in the government of a state as respects the following matters: (a) the provision and maintenance of primary, adult and vocational education; (b) the development of agriculture and natural resources other than the exploitation of minerals; (c) the provision and maintenance of health services; and (d) such other functions as may be conferred on a local Government Council by the House of Assembly of the State.
As provided for in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Local Governments have functions and responsibilities assigned. Some of these functions are performed exclusively by the Local Government like the maintenance of cemeteries, markets and motor parks. On the other hand, some other functions and responsibilities are performed concurrently with the State Government. Among these concurrent functions are primary education, agriculture, health and any other functions that may be conferred on Local Government by the House of Assembly of the State.
As can be seen, these various functions and responsibilities of Local Governments are quite enormous and demanding. The tragedy of the situation is that Local Governments have very limited and circumscribed sources of revenue to enable them execute meaningfully and effectively the functions and responsibilities assigned to them.
In my local government at Ajeromi Ifelodun in Ajegunle, we have not felt the presence of local government at all, take for instance, the road from otto – wharf to Achakpo have never been maintained for as provided in the constitution, the question begging for an answer, is what do the Ajeromi Local Government do with money that go to them?
HOW IS YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT?, express your mind if indeed they are working now that you know their functions.
Ppogbae: Does Emilokan have his own mobile clinic?
Could that have helped him from falling down flat in Turkey after his disastrously disgraceful fall in Eagle Square Abuja last year?
I guess that if he has made our country to fall down flat since he got his Emilokan turn to worsen APC extreme poverty shege, then his own physical fall is inevitable.
Is this how you are following her advice to lazy Nigerian youths, so that you can earn your N30,000 data boy wages
BeeBeeOoh: The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”
Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.
She noted that while the Tinubu-led administration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.
The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s administration.
Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.
“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.
“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.
“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.
“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.
“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”
Ehn now, the waist focused Natasha toaster knows that we need sustained prayers to locate where we can act on his mocking advice to us about free food.
May God help the siNator.
Omicronvaccine: Wherever You See Free Food, Eat It - Nigerian Senate President, Senator Akpabio Advises Nigerians
EmiloCorn: I support jagaban and I tell you that he will be the best president ever to rule Nigeria. Don't mind how the road is rough now, just know that there is very bright light at the end of this tunnel we are passing through.
Even if you cannot see it right now, just believe me I can see it. So trust me and support city boy alongside progressive citizens of Nigeria
Why has your EmiloCorn failed to get to the end of his rough TAX tunnel in Lagos after 27 years of increasing revenue 100 times but failing to improve basic services and utilities in the same way?
Your shitty boy has only delivered detty water for all the money he’s been given since 1999 by hardworking Lagosians.
Sirianese: Majority of Nigerians lack common sense so maybe they don't deserve the prosperity afterall
They wouldn't know what to do with it if he gave it to them, Emilokan is probably right
Is that what made your Emilokan package his expired Buhari as APC extreme poverty shege master to end PDP prosperity 11 years ago?
If Tinubu is clueless about what to do with prosperity then why should he assume the same thing about 200 million Nigerians
thisweekng: 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.” Private sector to drive the economy
Hismajesty44: To him, prosperity can only exist in his house and foreign countries but Nigerians must be denied prosperity through anti masses policies. God is watching you.
No greater truth than this has been revealed on nairaland.
Stay blessed sir.
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
aariwa: Imagine an illegitimate clown mandate thief failure offering to someone else what he cannot give his own country…smh…wonders shall never end
Maybe he is just showing how much of Abacha’s dictatorship mindset he has in himself
Was that not how Abacha restored democratically elected president of Sierra Leone even though he was a military dictator?
While Tinubu is using Wike to scatter PDP in the same way he used Lamidi Apapa to scatter Obi’s communist LP labourers’ camp, he is doing balablu talk in Turkey about democracy.
Freshtruth: How person president go look like clown even turkey president and the camera man dey hold serious laugh
Erdogan was not only holding back his laughter but he also held the hand of the Lagos TAX monster planner, so that he doesn’t fall yakata a second time in one day on Turkish soil.
This would have made it a third time he would be falling since we allowed him his own Emilokan turn to continue APC extreme poverty shege that he fraudulently sold to us in the propaganda robe of positive change.
Precious201010: Yes ooo.. the people's president has spoken.
Do you mean that the extreme POVERTY president has spoken
Did he not make his 2011 expired Buhari president four years later, as APC change messiah? What positive change has Nigeria experienced since 2015? Instead of changing for better, we have been into daily bread palliative dependants since Tinubu and his A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC predecessor are clueless about how to create the millions of jobs promised.
Do you know what juju APC used to make us abandon PDP deregulation and privatisation politicians who gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity and high employment productivity while we had low interest rates, low inflation, low national debt, low insecurity and even lower corruption
happney65: Nothing great there. He should do more as an oil producing state.
Oyo did 20,000 at a goal. I expect Rivers to do 50,000 not celebrating 5K. 5K that s'eyi did in his first term and did 20K in his second term
Any idea how many teachers Wike recruited in his eight years?
What of the four progressive governors of Lagos State since 1999? Did they recruit as many as Makinde recruited in just five years without having the kind of trillions Lagos has each year in budget
KingGBsky: I’m glad Fubara can now settle down and work since he has aligned with the federal government and he is quite off Wike’s reach for now.
Rivers State has not enjoyed governance for a while now and it’s demeaning. Rivers State has state deserves more than what the drunkard Wike is trying to turn the state into and Fubara will get his second term meanwhile Wike is not even sure for a ministerial position come 2027
What has aligning with the federal government to do with recruiting teachers EVERY year to ensure that every single child is in free primary, vocational and secondary schools?
Was Makinde aligned with APC progreThieves when he employed almost 20,000 within five years of being governor
Maybe you forget na people dey work for those construction companies and na the roads dey make their families dey chop, so check your reasoning faculty, one nut fit dey miss
You are the one who has to check your own reasoning faculty for the missing nut.
Tinubu and APC have failed so badly in creating the millions of jobs promised that they are hiding worsening unemployment rates, despite revising the data analysis used to determine it.
The masses are complaining that sachet water is expensive. So what do we want them to drink?
Tinubu wants 200 million Nigerians to drink detty water like 20 million people are drinking in his shithole, smelling and disgusting Lagos after 27 years of his TAX monster plan yielded 100 times increase in budget and IGR.
discusant: Which sovereignty do you have? Did they give sovereignty to Nigeria so that you use Nigeria's government institutions aided by Islamic terrorists, to drive to impose Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws?
Sovereignty is given by the UN and can be violated anytime the rules of sovereignty are being abused in any sovereign country.
Did the United Nations also give America sovereignty?
discusant: Therefore Nigeria coup plotters shall die
Abi this no be reson why yor the post?
Not that one, Oga.
He must be aiming at those who invited America to violate our sovereignty and kill innocent northerners while claiming to be looking for Muslim terrorists accused of genocide against Christians.
What's even scary is that it's the top dog that was caught
Na so o for obodo China, unlike here that corruption has become worse since we fell for Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC change promise.
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.”
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.”
psalmsjob: You mean collapse of national grid at home due to vandals and stumble in Turkiye due to snowy surface....
Talk another things abeg let's get rid of the so-called privatized NEPA let's get rid of quacks called engineers let's not be tripping on President Tinubu "stumble" in Turkiye as if that not happening fixes our light problem caused by so-called private owners who who just refused to allow president Tinubu to distribute prepaid meter to everyone free but people like you don't see such news only President stumble ground shake you comment and become patriotic about
Since when did the buck no longer stop at the desk of the president for what happens in the country?
Did he mention civil servants and other people when he said he had hit his higher revenue target in August and no longer borrowing
