LadyExcellency:
Imagine forming the Igbo political party in Lagos State. All hail will be let loose.

Why not imagine forming a Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Kanuri, Ijaw etc political party in the south east

Forkthiefnubu:
Because you all are natural tribalists, your political philosophy is tribalism, see tinubu see awo see obasanjo see wole Soyinka, the lens these ppl look at everything and every situation is a tribal one , I will love to see them in a country of their own

See gbajuẹ Peter Obi and his ethnoreligious group of ObiDense

bros good morning sir.I no get ur time this morning.If u say he didn’t perform God bless u.But know that if u are with 20 ppl and na only u Dey talk ike thg u can’t be wiser than the other 19ppl.u may be the foolish one

19 people who are focused on totos in delta, while they exist in the global capital of extreme poverty with the highest number of children out of school?

Is that the assembly of blind Stockholm syndrome patients that you are referring to

DomPerignon:
Is corruption also prevalant in South Africa and Malaysia ?

No excuse you can give to defend your criminality.

Is poverty and inequality not prevalent in South Africa?

No excuse you can give to defend the criminality of your pen robbers in the public and private sectors, who create the enabling environment for other criminals to grow.

mrvitalis:
Not that I'm hating ooh but

Buying hillux as a police car makes little sense to me especially now we are broke as a nation

Toyota Sienna is cheaper.. One hillux can get u 3 to 4 2014 Toyota Sienna

So that's 150 to 200 operational cars for police

We really need to make good use of our money this period

Thanks for highlighting this common sense talk.
Moreover, what happened to buying Nigerian to save the Naira that our leaders TALK about while doing nothing in that reagrd

Deltatoto:
because of the issues with rivers gov someone here said wike didn’t do anything as a gov.So I started wondering why nairaland can’t censor animals and allow everybody to be on this forum.

One thing with me,if my enemy do wetin good I go tell am say bros u try for this one.it doesn’t make us friends .wike na performer and na why e dey talk much because em Dey vex if e see nonsense because to whom much is given much is expected. thats a brand new hilux o.So imagine if those security agencies no perform wike come shout for them for public ppl go say wike too Dey shout.

How did he perform better with the 13% derivation and other federal allocation plus IGR he had in 8 years, on schools and healthcare as well as water & sanitation plus mass transit?
Can you share the relevant indicators for these sectors in 2015 and in 2023, to see what his impact was in the years

muyico:
seems like this man nah our presido self!

Maybe because JagaBandit exempted him from TSA to loot enough into the war chest for 2027 for buying votes as they do in Rivers and Lagos with bullion vans delivered to Ikoyi?

Meanwhile Abuja people are crying for lack of water, just like Lagosians and Rivers people.

Why are we such willing sacrificial sufferheads to our tribal lords in politics?

Delayed Abuja project leaves 3.8m residents struggling for clean water

Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, was promised a lifeline in the form of Greater Abuja Water Supply Project, which was aimed at providing clean drinking water to its growing population. ​​The project, funded by the Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA), has been delayed, pushing the city’s 3.8 million inhabitants into despair. From patronising water vendors to improvised wells, a quiet revolution has emerged as residents navigate the arduous path to secure a basic human necessity. In this report, Dataphyte delved into the reasons behind the project’s delay and the heart-wrenching struggles faced by the affected residents.

In the Jahi district of Abuja, Ms Endurance Emeka lamented how she had lived with having to buy water from vendors popularly known as Mairuwa for over five years. Her residence is roughly half an hour long from Nigeria’s seat of power, Aso Rock.

Kudos to the Nigerian police.

Death to all criminals

ALL criminals including the looters in public and private sectors responsible for the root causes below of kidnapping, petty theft etc

humberjade:
I would rather wish for the end of the root causes, corruption, wealth inequality and abject poverty.

Well spoken from the deepest recess of wisdom.
Thanks.

Gregorystarrrr:
If I could make a wish for this country, it would be the end of crime and violence 🥺💔

With so much looting by leaders in the local, state and federal governments either in the legislative or executive branch, who are hailed by us as they oppress with their loot, how will crime and violence end soon?
Looting money that should be used to employ and pay workers well for providing common utilities, services and facilities.
How many houses in Mushin have pipe-borne water? How many families in Mushin have children in free government schools? How many Primary Health Care centres are in Mushin for free basic healthcare services?

Our shabbily low expectations of the looters we mistakenly hail as tribal/personal leaders is killing all of us, slowly but surely.

Gregorystarrrr:
Wow, I'm impressed, Nigerians are really making me proud!!!🔥

More like they are making Britain proud, which is where they will contribute most, if not all their brainpower to make the UK even better than Nigeria, when they japa there for studies, so black people like you continue to be seen as subhuman, unevolved apes.

helinues:
Nice one.

Continue making Nigerians proud

How about making Nigeria itself like the UK where Cambridge is?
Why is that impossible?
Why has all the bragging about Chicago graduate and master plan by Asiwaju since 1999 failed to transform Lagos into a better place where ordinary water and sanitation is available in all houses to avoid frequent cholera that kills people? Why is Tinubu such a clueless rogue who only steals money from Lagosians into bullion vans for buying votes?

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.

NaijaRoyalty:
…Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money

“They were even recording the incident and published it. Let me not say something like that again today. However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”

Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.

He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.

Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.

Ironbull:
Hello use your brain na. These elected ones are already shadow Secretaries plsss!!!

Pls obidient stop littering here with your half brain gibberishes plsss.

Stop comparing UK democracy to Nigeria democracy the gap and the distance is way too far in years and age, pls stop disturbing us with your craps here.

You are the one who should use your brain to stop disturbing us with your crap.

What democracy do they have in Britain where the Head of State is a hereditary monarch who appoints the PM?

Is it because we don’t have shadow secretaries that Tinubu’s APC messiah used almost one year to nominate ministers, after winning the election at the fourth attempt

udemzyudex:
British is taking over.

I see a new stiff immigration law in place.

Is it time for japa to change and become japada ??

Femich18:
When you see a government that knows their onus you ll Notice it immediately
Over here it takes them three to Six months after inauguration.

If that is not how we like it, then why are we allowing them to be our leaders

ottersberger:
I don't remember when "Ebi mpawa" became Igbo language. Meanwhile, The banny I been carry last weekend for pocket change no be Igbo. Go figure.

As a squatter outside Igbo land, you are obviously too poor to import underaged girls from your own area to nack.

gistray:
Because your leaders are useless.
Some type of development requires government intervention and funds with good favourable policies

Igbo leaders are useless for stealing the Niger Delta oil revenue allocation received on behalf of their people?

What government interventions have LGA chairmen and councillors, state legislators and governors as well as senators and representatives from southeast failed to provide

ottersberger:
The only terrorism in Igbo land is that which is hatched inside Nigeria Army 82 division and DSS headquarters by the evil Nigeria security apparatus. That formation is evil, and something tells me that, “hand go touch den” some day.

In the meantime, the extreme poverty in the southeast that makes them export underaged girls into prostitution continues, because IPOB terrorists are doing sit at home weekly.

Quest7777:
Give an Igbo man opportunity to manage the resources of Nigeria and watch the country blossom to become London of Africa.

Jokes apart, if everything is done on Merit in Nigeria, Igbos will take driving seat in most sectors of this country. 👍

Is London having houses without pipe borne water? Or children who are not in free schools?

Why have Igbo governors failed to achieve these basic needs in their states

001Lagos:
Only an Igbo man can move this country forward

God bless Igbo always and always

Have they moved the southeast forward in any way apart from terrorism

gistray:
A country where excellence and competence is encouraged.

Igbos are naturally hardworking, intelligent, smart and bold.

I'm proudly Igbo and I'm proud of my brothers overseas

If they are hardworking, intelligent, smart and bold, then why is the south east not as developed as American states

001Lagos:
Igbo is obviously the most successful tribe in Nigeria and Africa

And one of the most blessed tribes in the world ..
go and verify.

Igbo Amaka

So successful that they are fleeing the area to develop other areas while terrorists and erosion ravages them

Nonny95:
Nigerian man, Kingsley Ogbuji promoted to Major in the US Army.

He hails from Ezza, Ebonyi state.

Congratulations to him!

Please how will this automatically end IPOB/ESN terrorism in Igbo land

Oyebanji commissions multi-million naira palm kernel industry in Ekiti

Urges citizens to take advantage of industrialization process


https://www.facebook.com/share/p/zXVV1hPuGKoPMZUr/?mibextid=oFDknk

Is there a difference between industry and factory?

When will the progressive governor commission classrooms and employ teachers to provide free education for all Ekiti children

Unperturbedpota:
Atiku was right when he said the FG should scrap NNPC ,Unfortunately I was among those who abuse him then. Now I know better..until.NNPC os scrapped our oil industry won't progress.

We will keep having all these escort of ridiculous experiences, just imagine we have oil yet dangote has to import crude to refine.

The Fulani mafia are controlling the NNPC

Won't you still abuse him because you see him through tribesmen lenses rather than through governance capabilities lenses, believing the fake stories about his corruption to distract from the WORSE corruption of his opponents?

EloquentMedia:
UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN SOCIETY, YOU CAN NEVER MAKE ANY MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION.

According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth,

- the idiots,

- the tribesmen, and

- the citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.

The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.


1. THE IDIOTS.
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 write 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.


According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.



2. THE TRIBESMEN
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 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 CITIZENS
The last group are citizens.

These are people that 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, won’t cheat in exams.

In government they won’t steal.

They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing.


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 about your life.

Reflect about your country and Africa in general before you answer.

What a country...

What a people of tribesmen tribal bigots with no clue about their collective socioeconomic interests.

maasoap:
When Buhari was selling N200 per litre, how much was the subsidy on a litre? Now, most filling stations are selling N700 per litre, how much is Tinubu adding to a litre in form of subsidy? The more you look, the less you see.

It's just the game of playing politics that Fayemi confessed about their 2012 Ojota deregulation protests that is continuing.
How did smart people like Femi Kuti, Femi Falana, Pastor Tunde Bakare etc fall mugu for such dirty tricks by A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC

Omooba77:
…says Nigeria experienced economic development during Jonathan’s administration

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.

While condemning what he described as the “winners take all” style of Nigeria’s democracy, Fayemi said the challenges facing the nation today cannot be solved unless the country embraced proportional representation, where the spoils of elections are shared between contestants.

According to him, the last time Nigeria experienced economic development was during Jonathan’s administration

Fayemi said, “Today, I read former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s interview in The Cable saying our liberal democracy is not working and we need to revisit it, and I agree with him. We must move from the political alternatives. I think we are almost on a dead end of that.

“What we need is alternative politics and my own notion of alternative politics is that you can’t have 35 per cent of the vote and take 100 per cent. It won’t work! We must look at proportional representation so that the party that is said to have won 21 per cent of the votes will have 21 per cent of the government. Adversary politics bring division and enmity.

“All political parties in the country agreed and they even put in their manifesto that subsidy must be removed. [b]We all said subsidy must be removed. But we in ACN at the time, in 2012, we know the truth Sir, but it is all politics.

“That is why we must ensure that everybody is a crucial stakeholder by stopping all these. Let the manifesto of PDP, APC and Labour Party, be put on the table and select all those who will pilot the programme from all parties[/b].”

How and why did we let Buhari, Tinubu and APC take us to the cleaners like this?

What manner of tomfoolery is this?

What is the impact of this on fuel queues

cnandy:
Tinubu is stupid

Stupid is an understatement for ThiefNuibu, the ruiner of Lagos since 1999.

Ikumapkayi:
Same goes for Diageo, majority shareholders in Guinness Nigeria Plc another British company. These British companies and their American counterpart are only interested in siphoning our forex.

If our politicians are not only interested in siphoning our money in forex to obodo oyinbo, then why are they not employing workers to do everything that government is supposed to do?

Na how you reason the matter

earleswood:
- Exit has severely impacted patient access and care, with drug prices rising 10x+ as GSK allowed shortage of key medicines.

- Despite citing forex issues, GSK continued supplying Ukraine but rejected Nigeria deals that could have resolved forex problems.

- Overall the data shows GSK prioritized profits over patients, executing a long-term strategy to leave the Nigerian market while maximizing financial returns for shareholders. Local needs appear to have been an afterthought at best.

Are the bold parts different from what those who we allow into political positions do in our country with our commonwealth that is hidden in Pandora Papers etc?
Who is fooling who? Who is being fooled

HeatSeeker:
Quite an interesting read. Board room politics no be moi moi.

But I wonder why Chinese competitors haven't taken over their market share? 🤔

Why do you think that Chinese competitors don't like profit

Some Nigerians have also attributed the exit of GSK and some other foreign companies to the economic policies of the Bola Tinubu administration.

Insiders within the organisation would, however, talk to FIJ on the incident, making it clear that GSK UK, the pharmaceutical giant’s mother company, exited the Nigerian market solely for profit.
