emmaodet: I have seen many of them in my field too. Unfortunately for them in my field, they hardly stay at home. Doing like 8/9 months in a year on a ship while at home running around to upgrade or renew one certificate or the other. So their social life is very very poor and hardly mingle. Most of them are always looking for serious relationships but the problem is that they are too exposed, many rude, arrogant and live wey more expensive life than we their counterparts.

bennybuhari: Doyin Okupe, the former Director-General of Peter Obi's 2023 presidential campaign council, visited President Tinubu at the villa.
Was he not a part of Jonathan’s team also?
Will he reverse everything that he said against Tinubu like Reno and Bwala
dre11: Joining APC Makes the Brain Stop Working’ and 4 More Daniel Bwala Anti-Tinubu Remarks
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy: hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny. – Frederick William Robertson
Daniel Bwala, a staunch critic of President Tinubu, his administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been seen frolicking with the President in recent days, which has infuriated the public.
For his past statements against the APC, Bwala, who was a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council during the 2023 elections, has now drawn backlash.
He was an APC member until he defected to the PDP in 2022. He would later cite the ruling party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket as the reason for his exit.
While announcing his decision on X on July 10, 2022, Bwala wrote: “Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people.”
There are now speculations that he may return to the APC. He held a meeting with President Tinubu on Wednesday “to show appreciation and support for the bold decisions he is taking to deal with the crisis confronting [the] country”, and he revealed that he would support Tinubu without apologies, even if it meant going back to the APC.
Amid ongoing controversies surrounding Bwala’s recent interactions with the President, FIJ revisits five times in the past when he criticised the APC-led administration.
‘EVEN IF YOU GIVE TINUBU 30 YEARS, NOTHING WILL WORK‘
On December 25, 2023, Bwala expressed scepticism about President Tinubu’s ability to deliver within his four-year term. He argued that waiting for significant changes under Tinubu’s administration might not be feasible.
Bwala said, “When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work. The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term, which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has. He has less than 70 percent time in government; when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015, it was the same language, and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term. When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant; 30 years, it will not work.”
‘TINUBU’S CABINET MEMBERS WON’T PERFORM MORE THAN 15%‘
In August 2023, Bwala said that the cabinet members appointed by Tinubu would not perform beyond 15 percent because the President seemed more focused on politics than governance.
“I feel that when it comes to the number of ministers, he (Tinubu) was more particular about politics than governance. The number of governors in the cabinet and the portfolios assigned to some individuals were purely political. I don’t have an expectation of a performance that is going to be beyond 15 percent, looking at the cabinet members,” he said.
‘TINUBU IS PRESIDENT-SELECT, NOT PRESIDENT-ELECT’
In May 2023, Bwala said Tinubu was the ‘president-select’, and not the ‘president-elect’. He said Tinubu was selected by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as their preferred candidate.
His words: “Now we are in court to say that it was a rigged process. As long as there is no final determination of the matter, we have every right under law, equity and justice to hold the opinion that we express that he is a president-select and not a president-elect.”
‘THE PDP CLEARLY WON THE ELECTION BUT APC RIGGED IT‘
Following the 2023 presidential polls, Bwala said his party won the election and alleged that the APC rigged it to emerge as the winner.
Bwala, who disclosed this in an interview with Arise TV in March 2023, said, “We clearly won. In fact, if these results were allowed to be read from the result sheet, we won with over 1 million vote. Nigerian people voted PDP as the winner of this election, but history and posterity is the one that will judge.”
‘JOINING APC MAKES THE HUMAN BRAIN STOP WORKING’
Bwala made a post on X in November 2022: “The human brain is unique and miraculous. It works and functions optically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, until you join APC, then it stops working.”
Since his post resurfaced on Thursday amid his unabashed declaration of support for the APC, Bwala’s cognitive abilities have been questioned by Nigerians.
An X user with the handle @chymaker wrote, “His brain stopped working.”
Another X user @Morris_Monye, wrote, “There’s something wrong with this man’s brain.”
“Your brain didn’t take that long to stop working. Either you forgot to go for an annual checkup or your network is not as strong as you think. Whatever the case is, learn to clean your mouth,” wrote @Gary_Mazi
DEROX: Fool if not for Baba koleosho of blessed memory the then AD chairman did he actually think he won funsho Williams? They rigged the election and gave this mugu oo Don't ask me how I know all these the man is from my area
Is that why Funsho Williams was killed before the 2007 election that brought in talkative Fashola, who was a political neophyte back then, and has shown himself to be an incompetent administrator just like his grandfather whose master plan has been used to extract IGR from Lagosians without commensurate employment in government to provide services and utilities for a quarter century?

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
madridguy: Election means rigging anywhere in the world. No election will be free and fair. Power don't come easily.
Please why then is our country not like everywhere in the world where election also means rigging?
Everywhere in the world, such as Britain where our presidents go for medical tourism after pledging to stop
Everywhere in the world such as developed countries where electricity is 24/7 uninterrupted like APC promised nine years ago to have the opportunity for implementing their change that is now known to be shege?
FashoFashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'
Jul 11, 2014.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.
According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.
"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.
Kobicove: Cry all you want he will never be president of Nigeria using the turn of the south!
I am sure that you can identify me in the ebiNpawa queue below.
Glimpsetv: A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
idealogical: It's called diversification and less dependency on allocations.
The oil kingdoms from the middle east owns nearly all the notable buildings and estates in London and New York.
Seems Akwa Ibom get good leaders like Lagos.
How else is Akwa Ibom comparable to the oil kingdoms from the Middle East?
Do all the houses have tap water? Are all the children in free primary, vocational and secondary schools with adequate professional teachers? What of basic healthcare? Is this free for everyone?
If you don’t compare the basics then why do you compare on the extras
Rullybiz: . When Atiku and Obasanjo refuse to give Lagos state allocation when tinubu was governor for over a year and 4 months was Obasanjo digging his grave?..
Atiku de get mouth talk now wen he supretended over the non remittance of allocation to akwa ibom and Lagos, today he has the mouth to talk
djseanjohn77: Atiku, you and your boss Obasanjo did same to Lagos for 7 years, heaven didn't fall o. So, sharrap, allow the law take it course, if Fubara has anything to defend he should go to the court.
Kobicove: What's Atiku's business with Rivers State matters?
Someone should please tell him to forget about politics, Rivers State money will not be used to fund his stunted presidential ambition
The period 2023 - 2031 is for southern president and only southerners will occupy the position of president for this period!
We know your type of hypocrisy.
edet19892015: Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth, 1. The idiots, 2. The tribesmen, and 3. The citizens.
Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they sit for exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.
In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen
3. The last group are "Citizens". These are people who like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams. In government, they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".
Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation. And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.
But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.
Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life. Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.
dynicks: Delta and Bayelsa states no just get doings......Those states really haven't been fair with having good leaders with developmental potentials ...
Please what is good doings about this Akwa Ibom leadership that abandons its own state to build a tower in Lagos
southsouthking: Oshiomhole is double standard, he talks with two sides of his mouth. He can't even criticize the federal government he helped to bring into power....but this 70k new minimum wage was negotiated, where was he during the negotiation period??
He was on the government side as a loyal party member.
JASONjnr: The biggest mistake anyone in this era will do is to serve in government as a civil servant when they can easily set themselves up for a business that can grow within a space of time.
Business is striving these days as workers salaries are peanuts and can't even afford a family of 2 for a month.
What business is striving thriving these days when disposable income of workers is shrinking due to T-Pain’s ebilokan choking policies
Bestmanfornow: How many did your state governor employed let start from there
When you make a thread about another governor you can address that issue.
For now it’s about Soludo’s Anambra State that was previously governed by Pandora Bitter Obi who then imposed his Fidelity Bank boy boy in his failed attempt to be a godfather.
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
Mrexcell: Soludo should humble himself and meet peter obi on how he was able to effectively tackle insecurity in anambra during his time.
Tackle insecurity by propaganda mouth?
anonimi: Kidnapping will be history in Anambra under my watch – Obiano ByPremium Times March 4, 2014
Anambra Governor elect, Willie Obiano, said on Tuesday in Abuja that his administration would ensure that crime, kidnapping in particular, was a thing of the past.
Mr. Obiano spoke to State House correspondents after a delegation from the state met with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa.
“Kidnapping is very critical for us and under my watch kidnapping will be a thing of the past.
“First, as soon as I am sworn-in, there is going to be a security conference where all the stakeholders in Anambra will come from near and beyond.
“We are going to do a lot of things that the present administration has started,” he said.
Mr. Obiano said he would deploy vigilante groups, equip and train them appropriately to tackle kidnapping.
“We will also place emphasis on youth employment because where most of the youths are employed then the rascal few will be easily policeable,” he said.
hisgrace090: Nnewi is desperately in need of good roads today. Good move!
Does Nnewi also need good maintenance of roads by Soludo employing enough civil servants to avoid deterioration as must have happened in the past to warrant the expensive rehabilitation?
Does Nnewi also need adequate professional teachers to be employed for free primary, vocational and secondary schools for every single child in the city
How many healthcare workers has he employed since he became governor to handle the new equipment in the hospital and other hospitals in the state for improvement in the ratios for healthcare workers to the residents
Bestmanfornow: Photos from the ongoing development of Solution Fun City Awka, currently being built by Gov. Soludo The Fun City is very massive which is located at the heart of Awka have sports complex, Country Club, Water Park, Inn door games, Cinema halls Food court etc
Watch Comprehensive Coverage Of the Fun City Awka through the link below 👇 👇
How many classrooms and libraries has the Anambra solution built since he became governor, to see if he is not another misplaced priority leader looter, doing bling bling projects to wow people
Abi Anambra State should not have a massive improvement in their public primary, vocational and secondary schools ni?
Elsueno: The black man is extremely foolish, corrupt, very very incompetent. Imagine cutting corners on something that would be used for the security of ur home country, family & fellow citizens. And would be flown by pilots trained with millions of naira.
Are Africans fuvking cursed!!!
For how much longer will we conform with Lugard’s assessment of who we are
Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"
Guys lets discuss the thoughts of Lord Lugard. he had a supremacist view obviously. But is he right in the way he describes Nigerians and Africans in general? How many of the issues that he raises are valid?

It is so nice to see that the almighty oyinbos are also vandals, primitive barbarians like us. Do you also know if they have stable electricity 24/7 like we have since APC came to power nine years ago
Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.

Linkzlikz: Nigeria isn't garden of eden! You don't expect to float your currency and not expect inflation... I envy the boldness in Tinubu to be able to pull such stunt knowing very well he has just 4yrs in his first term to balance the economy which I think it's going to be a miracle!
Nigeria isn't prone to rigorous economical repercussion. The likes of Ghana couldn't do the same instead the opted for redenomination...We're very much on the right track but it's just that Nigerians like to go through surgery without feeling a pinch... 😂 Reality is, naira still has one of the best purchasing power in Africa! The same Fanta bottle you buy in Ghana for 1040 naira is still being sold for 300 naira here... The inflation is periodic, we just need to survive the storm... 🤞
Tinubu did not float our currency. He devalued it and has cluelessly borrowed money to defend it without achieving his short term goal of N300/$1 after hitting the ground running 17 months ago.
Should that not worry people who understand how inflation/cost of living is related other factors like productivity and standard of living in each country
World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate
April 23, 2023 By Olalekan Fakoyejo
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years,” Tinubu stated.
Oil-for-cash loan: Nigeria to recieve $1bn from Afreximbank in May by Busola Aro
The federal government is expected to receive $1.05 billion from a syndicated loan backed by oil by the end of May to help revive the economy and improve the foreign-exchange market.
The $1.05 billion loan is part of the $3.3 billion “pre-export finance facility” (PxF) facilitated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd and arranged by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) in January 2024.
In the deal, Nigeria pledged a total of 164.25 million barrels of crude oil — at 90,000 barrels per day — starting from 2024 to repay the loan through Project Gazelle Funding Ltd, an “orphan” special purpose vehicle (SPV) incorporated in Bahamas for the PxF.
The NNPC had received the initial disbursement of $2.25 billion of the agreed $3 billion under the crude oil prepayment facility.
Speaking on the loan on Monday, Denys Denya, senior executive vice president for finance, administration and banking at Afreximbank, said the loan would be finalised next month.
“The verification of the crude availability has happened so we expect in the next month to finalize the release of the balance,” Denya said.
“Based on future production, you get the money now.”
Denya also said the facility has participation from commercial banks and oil traders, most of which have already secured internal approvals.
The Afreximbank oil-for-cash loan agreement with NNPC is expected to attract an interest of 11.85 percent per annum.
mrrandomguy: Everything for some people is tribalism. When the news is favourable to Yoruba they attack a Yoruba mod like mynd. When it favours Igbo they insult nlfpmod (I don't like him anyway).
Nigeria must divide. Let us go out separate ways.
If we go our separate ways, what will our tribal leaders looters do differently from what the 150 governors have done since 1999 with the trillions of federal allocation and IGR they have received?
Mynd44: This is impressive but more work has to be done. More industries opened up to keep the upward trend.
Good enough, it is the most industrialized state in Nigeria, it just needs to push harder
What is impressive in squeezing money out of the masses without employing them in the state and local governments to provide common services, amenities and utilities that are commensurate to the increased IGR?
Where is the logic in praising the IGR increase by itself
If governments are doing like this in oyinbo japa countries, will they be attractive to us, since we have failed to fix our own country?
RhinoChest: Power sector is becoming more lucrative because of rise in tariff. I know must Nigerians don’t like the hike in tariff and I feel their pain but you need private sectors to come in and invest.
All what Adelabu should do now if he is smart is ensure the metering gap is gone. It’s not a difficult task to achieve. It would incentivise Discos to supply more power if they want more money because estimated billing would be gone.
Also, Adelabu, improve the national grid and make it more robust. Regional grids should start in earnest.
No more excuses!! Excuses are for the weak minded.
The weak minded like Fayemi and his APC clowns who used Tunde Bakare, Femi Falana, Femi Kuti etc to play politics with our welfare in 2012
Can you imagine how far we would have gone in fuel sector 12 years later, as we have done with telecoms that was deregulated over two decades ago by the capitalist PDP administration
Omooba77: A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, said the protest that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests.
Fayemi said this in his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.
The programme was attended by Jonathan, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili; former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, among others.
The PUNCH reports that on January 1, 2012, President Goodluck announced the removal of fuel subsidy and adjusted the pump price of petrol from N65 per litre to N141.
The decision sparked mass protests, tagged ‘Occupy Nigeria’ across major cities of the country.
The price was later re-adjusted to N97, after more than a week of protests.
Petrol price was later reduced to N87 in 2015.
Jonathan faced serious backlash for the fuel price adjustment, especially from leaders of the All Progressives Congress, who were then in different opposition parties, including the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressives Congress, All Nigeria Peoples Party, and All Progressive Grand Alliance.
Good thing that despite the balablu noise of A-looter ProgreThief Conmen, APC about the deregulation and privatisation capitalist reforms of PDP, they did not reverse the policies that have started yielding expected results after the gestation period aka lead time.
nnamdibig: If you don’t have electricity, it is not the Federal Government’s problem, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has declared.
Fashola, who disclosed this while speaking at the Nextier Power Dialogue on Wednesday night in Abuja, told his listeners that there were problems in the power sector, but reminded them that it was not the Federal Government’s problem if citizens in the country do not have electricity, especially since the sector was privatised.
He said, “There are problems without a doubt and we must deal with them. But let me remind you, all of the assets that the Ministry of Power used to control for power have been sold by the last administration before I came. And so if you don’t have power, it is not the government’s problem. Let us be honest.
“The people who are operating the power sector, generation and distribution are now privately owned companies. I am here because I am concerned. If your telephone is not working, it is not the minister of communication that you go to. Let us be very clear.”
The wonder is whether Fashola was ignorant of this fact when he was making mouth with propaganda below as part of Tinubu's package of his 2011 CPC expired old soldier into APC messiah four years later. How can a smart orator turn out to be a clueless administrator

According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.
