LagosOrigin: My fellow Nigerians , Yoruba people are now "woke". The days of tribal voting in Yoruba land is gone The rescue of our country from thieves and drug baron is now real and in full gear, Nigeria must be rescued and come 2027, We will take back dear country from thieves who has done nothing but to steal, kill and destroy our economy. APC never again.
In 2023, was there more tribal votes in the south west than in the south east
onuman: Why Boko Haram, Ansaru, Al-Qaeda, ISWAP, armed Fulani herdsmen, bandits, and other Islamic fighters thrive in Nigeria is because the so called southern Nigeria politicians are apparently dumb, they don't understand that it's time for deamalgamation of north and south of British protectorates called Nigeria.
How can dumb politicians emerge from among smart people
shortgun: General Ihejirika as Chief of Army staff in Jonathan’s government defeated these terrorists bastards. He wiped them out from every nook and cranny until the political terrorists like buhari and Tinubu began accusing the man falsely.
Do we still have a government? Or do we just have A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC people masquerading as leaders in Aso Rock?
AngelicBeing: Na lsraeli treatment Nigeria needs to cure the madness of all the useless Islamic terrorists group.
Meanwhile, complete obliteration and elimination of all the useless Islamic terrorists group in Nigeria and globally oooooo
Terrorists have been eliminated and completely obliterated since 2015, as announced by APC’s integrity president.
This must be fake news to damage the credibility and reputation of APC and Tinubu who sold Buhari as messiah, four years after calling him expired in 2011.
Nigeria Boko Haram: Militants 'technically defeated' - Buhari Published 24 December 2015
Nigeria has "technically won the war" against Islamist Boko Haram militants, President Muhammadu Buhari says.
He told the BBC that the militant group could no longer mount "conventional attacks" against security forces or population centres.
It had been reduced to fighting with improvised explosives devices (IED) and remained a force only in its heartland of Borno state, he said.
Boko Haram has been described as one of the world's deadliest terror groups.
Critics of the government argue that it has exaggerated the scale of its success against the militants, and that each time the army claims to have wiped out Boko Haram, the militants have quietly rebuilt.
Nnamdd1: The Nigerian Army has handed over the flag of Boko Haram that was recovered from “camp zero” in Sambisa forest to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Major General Lucky Irabor, Theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole handed over the flag to Buhari at exactly 10:30 pm on Friday, December 30th, at this year’s regimental dinner organised by the presidential brigade of guards.
Speaking at Friday’s dinner, Irabor said troops arrested 1,240 suspected Boko Haram members during a mop-up operation inside Sambisa.
In his response, Buhari, who recounted how he was nearly killed even before he collected his first salary in the army stated that keeping Nigeria united was paramount.
“I believe you are here because you want to be here and you cannot complain. We will do our best to build the national institutions in the country,” he said.
“There are 250 ethnic groups, so keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be done. So even for a personal reason, you must make sure this country stays one and remain strong.”
On his part, Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai assured Nigerians that they will continue their onslaught in the north-east.
Thiefobi1: North and South should never have been amalgamated. Britain did us dirty.
Britain left us 66 years ago. What would you do to a 66 year old man who blames his current situation on the circumstances of his birth?
Ọ̀mọ̀ tí ó sọ wípé Baba ohùn kò là, wípé ìyá ohùn kò lowo lọ́wọ́, ẹnu rẹ ni ohùn náà kò sì yẹn.
Sudan and South Sudan are not together anymore, are they? Ethiopia and Eritrea are not together anymore, are they? Malaysia and Singapore are not together anymore, are they?
13 years before our 1960 independence, Britain’s Indian subcontinent was divided into two countries. Why did we not insist on being separated at independence?
Ironfaceman: I don't think Nigeria can return to normal. We have to tell ourselves the truth. The North groom this blood suckers against GEJ now that they are grown. They want to do things on their own. Very sad. Rip to the cleric.
The tapa Oshodi boy with a name different from his Mogaji mother is also a northerner?
No wonder Jagaban of Borgu always betrayed Yorubas and even southerners.
Abi, what was he doing, begging Buhari out of retirement to make Jonathan a one term president, after their party invited terrorists to destroy our country
Biodun556: During corona virus pandemic, they predicted that millions will die in Africa, the table turned and they became the worst hit with millions of victims
Are THEY also the worst hit on Ebola?
What percentage of medical equipment and medicine are researched, manufactured, improved by Africans, who have the highest number of extreme poverty paupers and children out of school?
By the way, did you notice that the patient was evacuated from our country, just like Tinubu constantly evacuates himself to France
Lithiumite: Which he will pay handsomely in taxes which majority of nigerians shy away from but want free things.....your argument is as horrendously thought out as can be
It’s horrendously thought out for Stockholm Syndrome sufferers.
Why would anyone want to have something for free when they are not thieves? If everyone is getting it for free, why wouldn’t the service and utilities cease
zoedew: I celebrate Seyi Makinde for giant strides in good governance. Seyi Makinde is in terribly short supply of political maturity and sagacity. One big way to make up for such a defect in politics is to cultivate the friendship of the folks who are politically matured and sagacious. Seyi Makinde had such a company in his corner back in time but lost their company when he got intoxicated with the political influence his association with them afforded him! Now we know who is who! Seyi Makinde's loss in the 2027 Presidential elections will be a classic case of from political grace to political grass. Seyi Makinde should have moved over to the Senate where he'll get ready for the next the Yoruba will have a go at the Presidency. Going that way I was poised to follow him but not again!
Those who are interested in governance more than tribalistic politics will continue to support him and others like him on principles.
LagosOrigin: This man has finally gone mad The kaduna rejection has gotten to his brain and turned it upside down .. he's in desperate need of more money now to save himself from defeat staring at him in the face in 2027 election .. but it's already too late.
Is he alone in his madness, abi the 109 senators are with him in the sanitorium?
Won't your senator and others approve the request as they have been doing for others, while standing on his mandate
zoedew: You will reassess your position in the matter when you take a closer look at Oyo State and how Seyi Makinde achieved those results. Seyi Makinde has mismanaged ALMOST ALL the political alliances that worked for him back then. He is an isolated politician in Oyo State politics as we speak. All he has to his benefit is Oyo state financial and Human Resources which can only achieve so much.
Why did previous Oyo governors fail to achieve anything near what he achieved in basic government services and utilities? Any idea why they failed

anonimi: NUT commends Oyo over recruitment of 19,500 teachers
The Nigeria Union of Teachers, Oyo State, has commended Governor Seyi Makinde-led government for recruiting 19,500 teachers in five years.
The union, in a statement signed by the NUT Chairman, Oladimeji Raji and the Secretary, Salami Olukayode, noted that the appointment of 5,000 teachers in his first term and 14,500 since the inception of his second term into the state primary and secondary schools was noteworthy.
The union said the ripple effects of the recruitment were that it would address the problems of inadequate manpower in the education sector and promote teaching and learning.
The statement read, “Your disposition towards turning the tide of the education system of Oyo State remains unprecedented and unmatched not only in the annals of recruitment history of our dear state in recent times but also across the entire 36 states of the Federation including the Federal Capital Territory.
“Your Excellency Sir, your achievements in the education sector since assumption of office particularly, on the successful recruitment of over 14,000 qualified teaching professionals and about 3,500 non- teaching personnel, aside from an appreciative number of caregivers is a clear cut and a perfect reflection of your results-oriented style of leadership aimed at providing free, qualitative and quantitative education to the amiable citizens of Oyo State. This gesture shall, without doubt, have a significant touch in our classroom and as well enhance educational service delivery to our school children.”
AndroBlaze: I came to the conclusion he wouldn't go far in SW politics when he used that video of Alli and the student and started campaigning with it and jesting about it with glee.... really disappointing from someone who should be seen as an elder.
Thankfully, he has gone much further than Tinubu in all aspects of governance. Abi in what aspect of governance has 7 years of Makinde not bested Tinubu and his Lagos lackeys' 27 years a-looter record?
It’s very nice and very important to show that APC did the same thing or worse than what they are accusing ADC of doing.
It’s also necessary to challenge the truthfulness of their accusations.
For example, HOW did the information come to THEIR attention?
emkz: It has come to our attention that the National Working Committee of the African Democratic Congress, led by Senator David Mark as Chairman and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as Secretary, has refused and neglected to pay party staff for over a year.
BATified2023: they all have nothing against Tinubu. Nothing to campaign against him n that's y they keep holding to mediocrity
Of course failure and lies are nothing to A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC leaders and their supporters. That is understandable.
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
Bizibi: what will your party use to campaign?? No state resources to use......
The people will campaign against Tinubu's wickedness that has ruined our country beyond imagination. Will you join patriotic Nigerians who are working to put an end to this shenanigan
anonimi: May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
yarimo: Ordinary party staff they can't even pay , so this how you want Nigerians to hand over governance to you ? Fraudsters pretending to be patriotic opposition leaders
Is there any fraudster worse than this clueless balablu bulaba town hall clown, whose Aso Rock tenancy expires next year InshaAllah
Abi fraudster get different meaning for APC fans ni?
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment. He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.
Ofunaofu: Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years
• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio
•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency
A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.
The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings. > > According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.
The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.
The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.
“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.
It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.
AWONEYAN: The same issue at Wadata plaza then. Wike was the one paying the staff. No wonder PDP could not survive. Same thing is happening in ADC. Ordinary party agents of ADC in the last Osun election could not get paid, some of them dropped the job and collected 20k to pay and work for APC . Aregbesola that could not pay salary as a governor can't do any better as National secretary
Aregbesola was not the one who failed to pay salaries. It was the CoS attached to him from dull Bola who was responsible. Do you think that is why Aregbesola is no longer with the master strategist of a-looter propaganda politics
emkz: APC Asks Atiku, Mark To Pay ADC Staff Salaries
Sagonbugo hypocrisy by APC leaders looters who are chronic onigbese debtors since time immemorial.
Why is Tinubu owing workers, pensioners and even contractors despite saving billions of dollars from subsidy savings that hiked petrol price, instead of crashing it below N185 promised
anonimi: Nigeria: Pensioners Urge Tinubu to Pay Arrears
26 March 2003 This Day (Lagos)
Lagos — Pension teachers in Lagos State under the aegis of Teacher Pensioners of Nigeria (TEPAN) have urged Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to review his stance on paying the harmonised three year old outstanding pension allowance or risk losing their votes.
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of TEPAN, Mr. Ayodabo 'Lade, accused Tinubu of failing to pay the arrears to teachers on their correct pension grade since the year 2000, contrary to what was obtainable in other five States of the South-west controlled by the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
Judemarco31: Making moves to enact legislative law that will protect "Reforms" that are pushing more people into poverty. What kind of senseless individuals are these people?
Is it not even too early to be talking about laws to prevent reversal of their destructive reforms? Should they not wait until 2031 to think about this?
Maybe they should even wait until forever, since the master strategist is all set for a 3rd term agenda that Obasanjo failed to get in 2007, because of Atiku's loyalty to the constitution? Shebi he has all the billions of dollars subsidy savings to bribe governors and politicians with, and SUVs to bribe their political operatives.
"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.
I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.
Tareq1105: The permutations for Tinubu victory is this: APC tinubu will either take 1st or 2nd in all the 36 + FCT. APC will never be 3rd in any state. Obi will come 3rd in most states in the North. Tinubu will win in 20 states and he'll come 2nd in the remaining 16 states. He wouldn't come 3rd in any state. Atiku will come 3rd in the 17 states in the south. So, those saying Atiku is the next president are not sincere to themselves bcoz Atiku wouldn't even come 2nd in any southern state. Even in the 6 states of North Central, Atiku will not come 1st. Obi would come 1st in the East and Tinubu would be 2nd. Wherever Atiku comes 1st in the North, Tinubu would be 2nd. Wherever Obi come 1st in the south Tinubu would come 2nd. Wherever Tinubu comes 1st in the south, Obi would be 2nd and 3rd goes to Atiku. And whatever state Tinubu comes 1st in the North, Atiku will come 2nd except in the North Central states where Obi would come 2nd. This is what would happen.
Why has the permutation for 50 million jobs failed since 2023, such that the wife is now mocking us with akara empowerment?
FreeStuffsNG: You are politically naive and it is a shame that you dabble into issues that you lack the humility and education to comprehend. As we type here, 99% of all political offices in Lagos belong to Asiwaju's APC while the content creator you support has none. Asiwaju is the President of Nigeria today and had reduced the content creator you support to a fringe minor party yet you still struggle to comprehend who won Lagos.Smh. It is always easy to beat you in politics because you can easily be distracted with 'wins without substance'. Asiwaju had Lagos political power before and after the election, and till date. That is what counts.
Tinubu promised to crash petrol price below N185, has he not failed in that regard, seeing how he hiked prices despite paying more subsidy than PDP presidents did?
Is that why many Uniben graduates and Edo people pray and fast for US and UK japa visas?
Maybe they are just interested in having pipe borne water in their homes and sending their children to free schools with adequate number of well paid, professional teachers, something that Nigerians have failed to maintain and improve upon since we told oyinbos to leave us alone to ruin our country 66 years ago
FX: Obi is a servant of the people. He is not here to do big man. He is a servant. He is here to serve us.
Yeah right.
Is this how he will serve us worse than Tinubu is doing
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.
O is impOsibble zero. Kwankwaso don put Obi for quarantine, just as Utomi played him ludo for the benefit of Tinubu 2023.
Kwankwaso left the 2027 NDC group chat for his own 2031 renewed hope objective, assuming that the master strategist of betrayals won't get a 3rd term life presidency, which Obasanjo failed to get in 2007, thanks to Atiku's loyalty to the constitution and leadership of other democratic heroes.
As a VP to Peter Obi, he will lose and I will lose because No northerner will ever vote an ibo man as president — Kwankwaso 😳🔥👇 pic.twitter.com/YRBzWRbzvs
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
aswani: Prof Utomi, yes that President Tinubu's Pat Utomi, is in NDC with him still making sure that he is doing enough to ensure that Peter Obí is not a threat to President Tinubu.
To use a footballing parlance, he has close marked Peter Obí out of making important decisions that might threaten President Tinubu in the elections.
Peter Obi should have stayed in ADC and accepted the VP slot. He is now in a much smaller party and his Obidients are being taken for granted in NDC. Prof Utomi did his job well in 2023 and has now exceeded that already.
Since the progreThief governor can't employ teachers to make education free for all children, like in Tinubu's 27 year old Lagos master plan, why should street light over 2kms be an achievement for renewed Hope Uzodinma
Broveens42: Yes! You heard that correctly! Imo State continues to give travelers an amazing experience on it's major roads. It's not just the eastern heartland in lips but also a shining light to other neighbouring states... Just experience the owerri-orlu roads, owerri -umuahia, owerri -onitsha , owerri -portharcourt. So when statistics say imo is the second most built up state in Nigeria, they are actually giving credence to visible factors responsible for development.
What kind of balablu bulaba APC propaganda brain measured the 200 kms?
