nairalandankrah: 4. Defection Panic Before his death, rumors were already circulating about shifting allegiances behind the scenes. In Osun politics, if a grassroots figure who controls significant street-level machinery shows signs of switching sides or demanding too much leverage, opposition or factional rivals move fast. Eliminating him neutralizes his network before it can be deployed against them.
Is this really a simple garage fight, or did someone order a pre-election clean-up to bury secrets before the heat turns up?
What opposition is there in Osun when Adeleke has promised Tinubu that EVERYONE in the state will vote for him
Obiedun: Kindly bring out the errors. Everyone on Nairaland knows that your English is poor. We are managing you here. Go back to the scraps you have written in the past.
Only balablu bulaba town hall clowns pour water into a leaking basket.
What is the point of showing things to someone who has chosen to be blind
k2money: Get out we are not a fool like you guys that beliefs anything. That's politics Reno was playing in support of Atiku then. Now he's with Tinubu and telling the truth.
Was that how Tinubu played politics with Buhari in 2011 by saying he was expired, only to see the truth four years later when he fraudulently sold him as APC change messiah?
Was that also how kachalla Ribadu played politics with Tinubu in 2007 about him being the most corrupt rogue governor, but four years later he aligned with Tinubu on ACN platform for a labour in vain attempt to deny Nigerians of Jonathan's service in continuing PDP prosperity, peace and security with cheap petrol and less debt burden?
5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’
5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors
Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book.
Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.
Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.
Ikengawo: ^exactly. Anyone that starts a sentence with 'this is the problem with africa', is only talking about themselves. He believes africans have a problem he is superior to, and nobody should dare pause his important speech for the arrival of anyone else, especially an african. These fake pan africans hate africans to the core of the bone marrow. Because of that hate, he believes he, the superior being, should be the one people pause events for. Like you said, if he was in power, there would be no problem and he will blame the people who leads for 'the problem with africa'. if he is not in power, it's the leaders who are the problem. I'm glad people cane see though these fake assholes.
I'm curious as you who sponsors Lumuba because he doesn't say anything interesting enough to have any type of platform. he just say the same tired white man is bad bullshit that all african pseudointellectuals love. But yes you're right, people like him pretend colonialism only happened to Africa and at the same time, eagerly try to make their life and location as white as possible.
It allows then to ignore their own inadequencies by yapping about leaders and the west.
Those of us who understand our issues differently need to increase the volume and reach of our voices until it drowns out these ones who have made irresponsibility their watchword.
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.
aswani: That was what I saw in the video. Even Tribune and Vanguard carried the BS at various times,eventually they decided they saw no proof and moved on. Everyone is trying to outscoop each other, and they drop their editorial standards in the process, and this is a perfect example. We still wouldn't mind seeing the parties involved comment on the case in a video, idf that's not too much to ask on a case that started three years ago, Ikeamafuna of course isn't one despite him doing amebọ on the case.
Was Reno also doing amebo on the case in his documentary below? Or perhaps Keyamo is the amebo with his article below?
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
Deffi: See what Atiku has caused....his desperstion to get into Aso Rock is causing unnecessary tension in his northern areas. Shame on him because he will never get their...ALLEGED GRANDFATHER OF CORRUPTION WHO SOLD NIGERIA'S NUMEROUS BILLION DOLLAR ASSETS FOR FEW MILLION DOLLARS WHICH HE POCKETED
No one is more northerner than the Jagaban of Borgu who sold Yoruba no. 4 slot to his fellow northerner in 2011.
Moreover, in what way is Atiku more corrupt that Tinubu, if he has never been prosecuted since 2007 that he left office and even none of his aides was prosecuted during Obasanjo's 2nd term from 2003, if we say that Atiku had immunity then?
anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
Sonyboom: This further prove either Atiku Or Peter Obi are the ones financing the unrest in this country
Why are you saying this despite A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC's admission of being the ones responsible for the unrest since before 2015? Was it not after they imported terrorists from his Guinea home country, that Jagaban of Borgu went to Kaduna and begged Buhari out of retirement to make Jonathan a one term president?
aswani: When or where did the President insists his record should not be made public? When is a lawyer, or the opposing lawyer, going to go on video to say it happened?
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.
The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”
The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.
It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.
The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”
The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.
It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.
saintopus: Dec 06, 2024 The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai.
The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.
The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.
Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.
The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.
The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.
Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.
This news is unbelievable since we are supposed to be shielded from the stagflation unleashed by Tinubu's balablu bulaba clueless mismanagement of our economy.
Are we not supposed to be buying petrol at less than N185 promised to us by the master strategist of tribalistic turn by turn a-looter propaganda politics
Mynd44: Dangote's 650,000 bpd refinery in Lekki and Oando's 350,000 bpd in Badagry will sort that out. Both are coming in stream next year
Should we add the capacity of the two NNPC refineries that APC announced their resumption in July 2015 with the announcement that the PH one is exporting fuel since December 2024?

WatchYourSix: See human being disgracing himself just to remain in office to keep embezzling common wealth…. He will soon run for senate and join those that say 2k is enough for the average Nigerian to survive
Is it our own greed and tribalistic mindset for sharing the national cake of corruption at local, state and federal levels through zoning and rotation that makes this possibel?

Thankfully for both men, Tinubu made Buhari president four years later. Unfortunately for Nigerians, both men have made our country worse than when Jonathan and PDP gave us cheap petrol, less debt & tax burden while creating widespread prosperity, peace and security.
JAZES: GEJ is just a snake and a bloody politician. Chikena
15 years later, Is Jonathan more of a snake and bloody politician than the master strategist who fought to grab power and run cluelessly with it to make everything worse than even expired Buhari did.
How do we get rid of this wicked balablu bulaba town hall content creator in Aso Rock before he destroys our country beyond repair
SeizeTheMemes: You have the order wrong. We still paid for subsidy even when it was removed. Our government is dirty floating the currency. If they weren't it would be much worse than we have now. We literally export nothing but oil. And the subsidy is an opportunity cost not something you pay. You aren't paying to import but are selling oil you theoretically produce at lower profit.
Are you aware that we are still paying subsidy even after Tinubu gleefully announced that subsidy is gone?
The question then is- why is petrol so expensive despite paying subsidy to Malta blending plant fuel importers, to frustrate Dangote refinery? Why are roads worse than when PDP gave us cheap petrol and less debt burden?
Any answer to these conundrum questions
anonimi: NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024
November 26, 2025
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.
This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.
The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.
According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.
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.
Efuaye: Aregbe's half salary had more purchasing power than the full salary Adeleke is paying now, given the inflation that came with the fuel subsidy removal and the floating of the naira.
Was the Naira floated, or was it devalued?
Why has Tinubu failed to reach N300/$1 promised for the short term despite saving billions of dollar from subsidy removal, increased revenue and exports and even taking $3.3 billion SPV loan from Afreximbank, secured by future oil revenue and facilitated by Elumelu's UBA at an outrageous rate of 11.85%? The loan was specifically to defend our currency
Ritchiee: Some zombies will be zombies forever. For 33 good years,baba Obasanjo,Jonathan,all oppositions in Lagos,Nigeria,in diaspora have been on this useless drug this,drug that but have not been able to bring out a single,just one single proof that President Tinubu dealt in drug in USA except a civil forfeiture which the FBI has clarified and even said Tinubu has no criminal record,case and was never convicted of any crime. Another scammer,Ikemefuna (paid $1.2m by Atiku) is still on the same thing this 2026 but all what he has done is gaslighting everybody with one idiotic story or the other. When are we going to get to see the purported record of President Tinubu? All I see is foolishness and joblessness from the oppositions who seem very dumb to me. Why beat a dead horse for 33 years without result if not for stupidity.
If it is a dead horse why is Tinubu opposed to releasing the records
Obiedun: Mr Michael H. Bonner is the distinguished Senior FBI Executive who served as Legal Attaché to the Embassy of the United States in Nigeria and who wrote a letter to the Nigerian Government via the Nigeria Police Force in 2003 stating that then-Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no FBI criminal records or previous arrests, outstanding warrants or any other type of involvement in any act of criminality in the United States, or anywhere within the purview of the United States' law enforcement bodies, which have bilateral and multilateral relations with several other jurisdictions.
Rather than let yourself be manipulated, if you are a media organisation, an investigative journalist, or just a concerned Nigerian, you can contact Mr Bonner directly. He is now retired, but he is on LinkedIn, where he has shown significant interest in matters concerning Nigeria.
If you, as a media organisation, investigative journalist, or concerned citizen, still doubt the authenticity of the letter from the FBI via the Embassy of the United States of America in Nigeria, U.S. Mission Nigeria, which proves that the Federal Bureau of Investigation cleared Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of any wrongdoing, or of having any criminal record, previous arrests, or outstanding warrants of any kind, please contact the US Embassy in Abuja directly at ConsularAbuja@state.gov.
You may also call the US Embassy at (+234) 209-461-4000, or present the letter to the State Department in Washington, DC, for authentication.
Alternatively, you may contact the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation directly on (202) 324-3000 or pay a visit to their headquarters, whose full address appears below:

Who is a more useless animal than the balablu bulaba clueless clown in Aso Rock, who has destroyed our country into expensive petrol, high debt burden and akara empowerment instead of 50 million employments promised?
Who else is more useless than the Guinean who fought to grab power and run with it aimlessly like a dumb dog 🐕?
Obiedun: God forbid. If I were Tinubu I will never stoop so low to be interviewed by you. The Bible says: Give not what is holy to dog, cast not your pearl before swine.
So what made you give your holy vote to Tinubu, what made you cast your money before a swine to steal while destroying your country with stagflation and voodoo economics?
