Botragelad: For those who may not be aware, let me explain. The man you see here is a Black man who struggles with mental illness. He accidentally wandered into the Gaza Strip. Do you know what happened next?
Hamas immediately took him hostage, subjected him to torture, and held him for over 10 years, refusing to release him despite his mental health condition. Today, he was finally released as part of a hostage deal. This man was simply someone who was unaware and lost. Yet, Hamas paraded him publicly, and so-called Palestinians hurled vile, racist remarks at him because of his skin color. If this isn’t utterly degrading for those in the Black community who support Hamas, I don’t know what is.
Now, can anyone explain what he did to deserve such inhumane treatment? And why is there so little condemnation of Hamas for actions like these?.
Now, can anyone explain what Igbos did to deserve such inhumane treatment from Fulani asslicker T-Pain? And why is there so little condemnation of T-Pain for tribalism actions like these?.
What moral authority do Nigerians have to accuse others of racism when we are tribal and bigots
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

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.
jaxxy: Why not blame atiku who didn't see the need to recognise its time for a southern president or wike who worked directly for apc/tinubu andagainst his party pdp? instead it's Peter Obi that's ur problem?
Pandora Bitters is Soludo’s and Wike’s problem.
anonimi: 2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
In the Video Akpabio alleged that the chairman of the NDDC committee was a beneficiary of the contracts. Guess who was the Chairman of the Committee- Olubunmi Tunji Ojo 😆
jaxxy: Well spoken and accurate. We have gone backwards thanks to Mr yakubu and illegitimate government.
The government that Pandora Bitters cluelessly made possible
jameshankss: Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.
The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”
Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.
But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.
The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.
Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.
“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.
“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”
Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.
Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.
He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.
“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.
“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
Shivisee1: Ode! But if you were succeeded in your plans to pollute aso rock as the president, would he have said the same thing?
The cluelessly naive Pandora Bitters would have been worstest.
[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]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.

Hian, what are you talking about? Do you mean that we have been scammed and screwed all these years
Port Harcourt, Warri refineries commence production, says NNPC
July 30, 2015
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday announced that Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have successfully restarted production after a nine-month phased rehabilitation programme.
Re-streaming of production at the two facilities followed the completion of technical repairs by in-house engineers and technicians, the NNPC said.
The Spokesperson for the corporation, Ohi Alegbe, said both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs.
He said Port Harcourt refinery has already raised its operational capacity to about 60 per cent of its 210, 000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity, while production at Warri refinery was projected to hit 80 per cent of installed 125,000 bpd capacity.
Mr. Alegbe said the Port Harcourt Refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five (5) million litres of petrol per day, while Warri Refinery would contribute about 3.5 million litres of petrol to local refining capacity.
AfahaAbia: The people at nnpc are just finishing our dear country Nigeria. Why give license for importation which is 10 times more expensive than buy from Dangote This country Nigeria...My God!!!!

The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.
press9jatv: that was during Aregbesola era and not Oyetola era. Unlike the clueless heartless Adeleke that sacked all the employees hired by Oyetola government. Time will surely tell.
How much of the Aregbesola hafusa debts and unpaid pensions did his Chief of Staff pay in his own 4 years as governor?
How much of the debt has Adeleke paid?
Do you know see who is clueless and heartless between these two politicians? Abi ebilokan ti fọ ojú rẹ ni?
Guestmale: Therefore the election conducted by Oyetola in twilight of his tenure is valid.
The election is invalid as per the FEDERAL High Court ruling that sacked the LGA officials and upheld by the Appeal Court.
fergie001: As expected, APC & Ors appealed both judgements. That of the APP was filed 2/12/22 and that of the PDP in Jan 2023.
We deal with that of the APP here:
Now, the appellants in the image below, filed their motion on notice and even sought reliefs also cited below:
The Records of Appeal should ordinarily get to the Appeal Court in a maximum 60 days but OSSIEC argued that it was past 23 months and no record of appeal hence the appeal should be dismissed.
On 13/1/25, the lawyer for the appellants (APM & APC) admitted that he had not heard from his client since 2/12/2022. Hence, the appeal Court dismissed the Appeal, upholding the decision of the Federal High Court with all its consequential orders. (image 4)
The APC entered 9 Grounds of appeal; The Appeal Court formulated four questions for determination as stated in Image 3.
Summarily, on Issue 1: The Court held that the amended Originating Summons shouldn't have been allowed because it was incompetent. The Appeal Court also held that it was premature, as there was no reasonable cause of action.
The suit was filed July 2022, whilst then Governor Oyetola signed the bill on 1/8/22 and notices were published on 15/8/22, hence the Court had no jurisdiction whatsoever to have entertained a suit without a cause of action. It is the cause of action that births a RIGHT OF ACTION.
On Issues 3 & 4: Don't forget that Issue 4 is on the validity of the reinstatement of those officials.
The Court held that these issues were academic and they will not venture to go into it. (Image 4)
Now Issues 1 & 2 are in favour of the appellants, no cause of action, the trial Court was wrong to have granted leave for amendment of the OS.
Now Issues 3 & 4... How far? No judgement z no consequential order.. nothing
Let's not also forget, about the valid order in the APP issue already upheld by the Appeal Court and still EXISTING.
onatisi: Very concise and apt. It seems PDP still have a lot l To learn from APC in terms of wining legal battles
When did propaganda lies become the same thing as winning legal battles
fergie001: Let me do the Osun thread here because of my good friend Johnny...
The PDP filed a suit before the Federal High Court, Osogbo on 27/7/22, challenging the planned abridgement of time for nomination/conduct of LG Elections. The PDP argued that it is not the duty of the Assembly to abridge the time as it is already encapsulated in the Electoral Act 2022, and doing so makes it inconsistent with Sections 29, 30 & 32 of the EA 2022 and also a previous Supreme Court Judgement on this.
However, the APC went on with the bill for abridgement and then Gov, Oyetola signed on 1/8/22. Thereafter, on 15/8/22, notices were published for LG election to be held on 15/10/22. The PDP sought the leave of Court to amend their Originating Summons which the APC argued they didn't have the jurisdiction, however the learned Judge upheld the arguments and allowed for amendment which took place in September 2022.
Parties to the suit filed by PDP were: OSSIEC, INEC, APC & Ors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the notices of 15/8/2022, another Political Party, APP filed a suit, also challenging the legality and otherwise of the abridged time and the LG Election.
Parties to the suit were: OSSIEC, INEC, APC, APM, APGA & Ors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delivering Judgement on 25/11/22 on the PDP suit, the Federal High Court invalidated the election and sacked all elected LG Chairmen and Councillors with CONSEQUENTIAL ORDERS.
On 30/11/22, in the APP suit, the Federal High Court also invalidated the election with the same CONSEQUENTIAL ORDERS.
1. That the notice of election on 15/8/22 was invalid, illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
2. That all elected LG Chairmen/Councillors vacate their Offices immediately.
3. That the bill for the abridgement of time for nomination/conduct of the election is thereby struck out. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2 separate Federal High Court Judgements sacked those LG Chairmen/Councillors in 2022.
Gboom: This is impunity by this so-called governor. Why not wait till October when their tenure will expire before conducting fresh election rather than causing chaos now
Tenure that was already cancelled by a FEDERAL High Court in 2022 November, three days before Adeleke was sworn into office?
Dey play o. Dey there dey play instead of equipping yourself with adequate knowledge.
Being Text Of A Press Conference by Hon Odesola Oluseye Títus chairman, Action Peoples Party, Osun State.
Gentlemen of the Press
The Action Peoples Party in Osun State today, 21st of February, 2025, frowns at the unsavoury and fatally biased communication purportedly emanating from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
As an interested party in the botched October 15 2022 local government election in Osun State, it is imperative to state that the purported stance of Mr Lateef Fagbemi, the Attorney General of the Federation was in bad taste, utterly disrespectful to the laws of the land, which is a calculated fertile ground for avoidable violence in our dear state.
For us in the App, a partner in the democratic trajectory in Nigeria and particularly, Osun State, we found it ludicrous to believe that such a naked biase memo would come from the AGF, Fagbemi, knowing fully well that there is a valid judgement of the same court of appeal affirming the nullification of the October 15, 2022 local government election in Osun State. Recall, the election had earlier been annulled by the Osogbo Federal High Court, on 30th of November, 2022, for contravening the electoral laws.
It is ridiculous to say the least that a law officer of the Federation, would deliberately feign ignorance of a subsisting judgement of the court of the land by cherry picking the side of another judgement he deemed suitable for his tailored narrative.
In a sane clime, An Attorney General of the Federation should be abreast of the minutest of court pronouncements in the Federation and should be addressed holistically if and when the need arises. This the AGF has failed and it is appalling in the mildest of expression
As active participant in both the Collapsed October 15 2022 and the February 22, 2025, and after due consultations with our legal department and members of our party, we are left with no doubt that the scheduled local government election slated for February 22, 2025, should proceed.
The Attorney General of the Federation is not a bigger entity than the courts in Nigeria. He is advised to test his opinion in the court of law according to the constitution of Nigeria which established the office of the Attorney General, which is world apart to constitutional courts.
I want to reiterate that our great party, the Action Peoples Party will participate in Saturday's election. Our party has been equipped to arrive at this decision by the reason of the the Appeal Court dismissal of the Apc suit at the appeal court on the 13th of January, 2025, challenging the nullification of the October 15 2022 election in Osun State.
I also call on the patriotic citizens of the Osun State to join forces with us in this noble course, by voting enmasse for our great party, the APP in the scheduled election.
Thank you for listening to me.

Osun LG election: You’re not Court of law, group slams AGF
February 21, 2025
A civil society group, Osun Democrats for Democracy on Friday blasted the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi for allegedly assuming the role of a court on the osun local government crisis, saying that “the AGF is not a court of law and cannot stop election nor interprete court rulings.
The group in a statement in Osogbo by its legal adviser, Adewale Fowora, advised the state government to go ahead with the election on Saturday saying, “AGF Statement is a political action which has no foundation in law. AGF is not the court and he cannot exercise the powers of the court”, the group responded”. > > > “Much more worrisome is the biased refusal to mention the APP judgement which sacked the APC council aspirants. The APP judgement was not the subject of appeal at Akure and so the appeal ruling at Akure has nothing to do with the subsisting APP judgement.
Rebuker: Omo, we are really blessed in Nigeria with good weather🙂
Yes o. Is that why we allow our leaders looters to do us anyhow with taxes that are not matched by government facilities, services and utilities?
Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low
A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.
Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.
The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.
'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.
"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.
"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.
He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.
''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.
''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.
''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.
The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.
HIGHESTPOPORI: The court only struck out Pdp suit and did not reinstate the sacked chairmen
Exactly, don't mind the wailing propagandist who is trying to fcvk up our minds with APC lies as Fayemi & co did with the 2012 Ojota fuel deregulation protests for playing politics with our economic wellbeing.
God pass them
He can continue wailing about the nonexistent tenure in APC balablu propaganda fashion. Ko kan aiye.

They are the only ones who will get allocation directly from FAAC. If Demola Jackson and Davido wants to fund the clowns they intend to announce as winners tomorrow from their pockets till October, so be it.
Is it the worsening unemployment, hunger, starvation and poverty of APC shege that has made you so confused? Oyetola's Yes/No wuruwuru chairmen and councillors were sacked by the court longest time ago.

seunmsg: There are no vacancies across local government councils in Osun state. A fresh election when the tenure of those previously elected haven’t ended is an undemocratic way to resolve an act of impunity and lawlessness committed by the governor.
Peter Obi went to the same Court of Appeal to reclaim his mandate and he was allowed to fully serve his term of office. The elected local government council officials should be allowed to fully serve their term of office which will expire in October, 2025 as directed by the court. There is no need for any urgent election except those to be elected will assume office in October.
Nurudeen Ademola Jackson should stop the impunity and respect the judgement of the court. When you’re in a hole, you fvcking stop digging. Allocations from FAAC will only be released to the council officials whose election have been validated by the court.
This your ebiNpawa wailing na wa oh.
What allocations from FAAC are being released directly to council officials several months after blind BATolomeus like you praised ebilokan to high heavens for a Supreme Court judgement that he has failed to implement?
Wait o, is that not an impeacheable offence to end all this radarada APC shege that has squeezed more of us into extreme poverty since 2015
The only president that ruled us twice for 4 years and took us backwards at each tenure for another 16 years..
So why did we reward T-Pain with ebilokan continuity of APC shege, for making Buhari president 10 years ago? To show that we Nigerians are smart people
LieDetector: President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to ensure continuity of his regime by voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.
“The forthcoming general elections will provide us with the opportunity to convince the electorate of the need for continuity to enable our party to consolidate on our achievements in the last 7 years,” Mr Buhari said.
The president, according to a statement by his spokesperson Femi Adesina on Friday, disclosed this while receiving a delegation from Nasarawa State. “The Government and people of Nasarawa State, as usual, have a great role to play in returning our party to governance in the 2023 elections, in order to create a path for greater socio-economic growth and development.
“This is not only important for Nigeria alone but also for the West African Sub-Region,” the president was further quoted as saying.
According to former governor of River state in the person of Amaechi,he said and i quote,Buhari does not know what he is signing,he does not read what he signs.
So why did Amaechi join T-Pain to make him president in 2015, despite his own brother Jonathan doing a better job than Buhari did as a military dictator for two years in the 1980s?
Who are the mumus who believe this bullshit from Amaechi?
scribble: The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.
One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.
He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”
One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.
Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, A[b]maechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.[/b]
It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.
Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.
According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.
adecz: Buhari was, however, absent but sent a message of goodwill. His absence, however, highlighted old grievances between the two top military generals from the North following the military coup that was led by IBB, then Major General, who overthrew him in 1985.
The coup that occurred on 27 August 1985 led to the detention of Buhari in Benin City until 1988, well after his mother’s death.
The two generals have not attended an event together or crossed paths since the coup, which many said is due to Buhari’s unwillingness to forget the past.

Unfortunately claiming alone won't change much of the reckless looting that has made Lagos a glorified ghetto despite 60 times increase in revenue and budget since 1999, which is not matched by improved services and utilities.
Do you think that is because APC is filled with progreThieves rather than progressives like Awolowo and Jakande
A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.
Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.
The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.
'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.
"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.
"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.
He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.
''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.
''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.
''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.
The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.
Thewrath: Obi won 2023 elections and history will be kind to him,it’s only a matter of time.
What a great thing that the Pandora fraudster did not win despite his headless tribal mob giving him nearly 100% votes in the five SE states. He would have been worse than ebilokan T-Pain continuation of APC shege that was fraudulently packaged as change 10 years ago.
[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]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.

athaboi: The same way Peter Obi won the 2023 presidential election and tinubu was announced!
Obi your story and that of Abiola will be slightly the same, the only difference is that you will become Nigerians president which Abiola didn't have the opportunity to become as he was killed! But one day, they will tell the truth of who truly won the 2023 presidential election! Good luck
Keep your jokes for the comedy section
jameshankss: Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.
The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”
Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.
But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.
The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.
Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.
“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.
“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”
Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.
Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.
He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.
“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.
“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
Ehn now, why won't you stand with Akpabio since he gave advice on what ebilokan wailers should do to survive this worsening APC unemployment, inflation, hunger, starvation, extreme poverty etc.
Feel free to stand on the SP's manhood sef. Ko kan aiye.

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.

Does he and T-Pain qualify for your black book of democracy for scamming us with their APC change promise when all they had in mind was shege, which ebilokan has taken to the promax level?
Abi what aspect of life is better today than it was 10 years ago
Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
