Amotolongbo: cos that is the only Language God understands
Yes o.
Is that the only language that ebilokan also understands, which is why our Asiwaju is sharing bread palliative to Lagosians alone
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.

AquaBekee: False Promise of Stipend for Unemployed Graduates: He falsely claimed that the federal government would pay stipends to all unemployed graduates in Nigeria, a promise that was not part of the government’s agenda and created false expectations.
Is this not one of the promises made by the All Promises Cancelled, APC party in 2015 when Tinubu packaged Buhari as messiah four years after calling him expired
izunned: It is Harris that is desperate, why claim what didn't existed?
How do you know it didn't exist, apart from Trump saying so?
naptu2: Without evidence, Trump has accused Harris of lying about the experience as a way to improve her working-class credibility.
Trump repeated his unsubstantiated claims Sunday.
“It was a big part of her resume that she worked at McDonald’s — how tough a job it was,” Trump said at the restaurant in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. “She … made the french fries, and she talked about the heat: ‘It was so tough.’ She’s never worked at McDonald’s.”
Harris spokesperson Ian Sams shot back in a statement to NBC News.
“When Trump feels desperate, all he knows how to do is lie,” Sams said. “He can’t understand what it’s like to have a summer job because he was handed millions on a silver platter, only to blow it.”
Harris, according to her campaign, worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, during the summer of 1983. She was a student at Howard University at the time and worked the register, as well as the french fry and ice cream machines.
Shevchenkko: That's why there are too many homeless people over there
Lagosians love it like that, hence they keep coughing up IGR for Tinubu and his boys to steal in line with their master plan of lootocracy, which he has elevated to Abuja level.
The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.
At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.
The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.
Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.
A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.
The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.
“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.
EmperorCaesar: Shevy Chimunanya, You should worry more about those outside Lagos, cause if the land of opportunities have this level of low-earners and huge number of 'homeless people', then it will definitely be very worse elsewhere
No be to dey throw shades at all times. Those wey u dey mock still dey ahead of other
What is the joy of two impotent chaps dragging who get the biggest tool pass
Dogalmighty17: Canada is several times bigger than Nigeria in landmass. The issue is that most of its landscape is inhospitable. People are forced to crowd the areas that are relatively warmer. This puts pressure on facilities and causes dissatisfaction among the locals.
There is a strong anti-immigrant sentiment around the globe in all Western countries now and it is leading to the surge of far right rhetoric and politicians. It is what propelled Trump into office the first time and it is what he is still using as his main tool for campaign now.
But to hell with the west! So long as they keep forcing neo-liberal policies on Nigeria through the world Bank and IMF, policies even they don't adopt in their countries, so long as they keep pushing hardship in Nigeria, they should be ready for a steady stream of migrants from here.
You can't beat a child and tell him not to cry.
Why are they not forcing such on SE Asian countries? Is it the World Bank and IMF that is forcing hardship on you by making you ignorant of how your LGA chairman and state governor spend their allocations since 1999? Or it is the West that is pushing hardhip on you by making your president and other government officials prioritise SUVs and other luxury items over employing people to do everything governments in Canada and the West do at the three tiers?
Why are you an unevolved primitive child in comparison to other races who are equally created as your own race?
Mentally lazy people will always blame their tools, so no surprise there.
[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.

Vision101: People don't understand that economic problems are everywhere since COVID and now the Russian Ukrainian war though the ones in the developing world are more.
What other country are they having galloping inflation like what clueless Buhari started and his incompetent enabler, Tinubu is continuing, while wages are not rising and unemployment is growing? What other country do sufferhead shitheads also have with these features?
Was this what ingrate Obasanjo had in mind when he endorsed Buhari in 2015, over the candidate of the party that made him president from Abacha's prison?
citizenisb: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.
“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.
The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.
While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.
“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”
Nice one. We should all stay home to enjoy Tinubu's reforms that the World Bank praised. While waiting for the light at the end of Tinubu's ebilokan tunnel, we should survive on his bread palliative. No be so.

vanitybutiwanti: I put it to you that there is nothing wike can do to satisfy individuals like you who already have a preconceived notion about him. Even if he turns Nigeria to an El Dorado low lives like you who have done nothing with their lives will still come to the Internet to complain and gnash their teeth
Instead of using these future announcements, why don’t you just share verifiable data on improvements in water supply, free basic education and free basic healthcare.
NaijaCrusader: Clueless government only interested and vested in ways to keep taxing the people but bend down and do the work they don't want to.
Tinubu can’t and won’t do any work for the masses who are paying the taxes.
He didn’t do anything in Lagos for 25 years plus of looting taxes but he still holds the 20 million smart Lagosians by the balls, literally.

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.
agulion: Honestly we Yoruba Muslims are already tired of this one Nigeria, kole work! It won't work . Oduduwa republic is the best
Oduduwa republic with Asiwaju of drug trafficking as president?
How will that stop Tinubu’s ebilokan clueless incompetence that has wrecked Lagos State for the last quarter century
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.’’
MadPolitician: Naaa Na serious donations, bro. Lived with them in the far north for a long time. Those people are the ones enjoying Nigeria.
Their only problem is this herdsmen issues. There might be a lot of illiterates, but farming, political favours and recently, illegal solid mineral mining, have created millionaires all over the north.
If they are enjoying our country then why are they so idle to be easily recruited by Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits and other criminal groups
michoim: Nice one. This is good, to encourage good people & good works...
We can do good things when we want to.
Why are we not doing good things in our political and governance processes? Is it that we are too clueless to understand how the processes affect each and every single aspect of our lives
Inosky: Money is in the northerners hands but they don't make a lot of noise like southerners.
Someone one gave 10m just like that, you can imagine how much he controls in his account.
Well, all Nigerians presidents have been favouring them. Nigeria is positioned to favour them, that's why they hardly speak against government, especially APC.
All Nigerian presidents including the three southerners who have been in Aso Rock for 14 of the 25 years since the return to democracy in 1999?
MadPolitician: The kind of evil men that are running this country will make even Mr Satan to worry about letting them in to hell. That someone will recruit and train people to go on endless massacres, while those in government pretend to be unaware.., unbelievable
Evil men like Pandora Bitter Obi and his band of communist LP labourer propaganda liars
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.
However, can minister employ people such as teachers doctors and co?
I know you don't like him which is normal, but don't put blame or burden that doesn't concern him on him.
Please if the minister is not ULTIMATELY responsible for employing people such as teachers, nurses, doctors and co to make basic education free for all children and basic healthcare free to all FCT residents, then who else is ultimately responsible
I hope you won’t say that I am asking the above question because I don’t like the minister.
fuelsaver: And then they will come after all of you that messed up our commonwealth
All of them who we ALLOW to mess up our commonwealth because of our tribal orientation to politics of zoning, rotation and marginalisation?
All of them including Pandora Bitter Obi

Stop being a liar to promote the mental laziness of southerners.
We have had the president for 14 out of the 25 years since we returned to democracy in 1999.
We have 17/36 percentage of senators and representatives in the NASS. The ratio will go up to 23/36 if you add the Middle Belt states of Kwara, Benue, Plateau, Kogi, Niger and Nasarawa. Are there not minorities in the remaining 13 states of the north east and north west to get the ratio way higher than the 24/36 percentage or 2/3rd absolute majority for passing laws and OVERRIDING the president if he refuses to assent to any Bill passed by the NASS
sulaak: Akpabio talks and behaves like an NGO. Is he not part of the political system? What is his plan to assist the government in getting the children into school?
Right now, I will welcome back Abacha over these useless APC urchins.
Why have you made yourself so miserable, hopeless and helpless to the point of wanting a military dictator who will take away your capability to provide inputs for how you are governed at the local, state and federal levels?
If he failed to employ teachers and other staff to make basic education free for ALL children when he was governor for eight years, then please how is this a valid point from him?
mrksquare: I haven't seen any projects like building or renovation of schools and hospital. All we keep seeing is road. Is it only road that drives development Mr. Nebu?
May God bless you richly for this wise contribution to the thread.
In addition to building, renovating and generally maintaining schools and hospitals, we need to also remember that teachers, librarians, laboratory attendants, administrators, pharmacists, nurses, laboratory technicians, doctors etc have to be employed and paid well for the buildings, facilities and equipment to deliver services to the people.
Yes, by employing workers into the FCT to provide services and utilities, that pays well for them to buy food and thereby encourage more people to do farming and ranching on a commercial scale to supply the growing market.
odejimioflagos: Wike is a man to watch. I believe he will do great things in FCT.
Yeah, great things for clueless, low life folks who are happy with road construction, housing for judges and other physical infrastructure projects from the FCT minister who is exempt from the TSA account.
