Arutan: You want us to start opening his dirty ass here. You’re supporting a man you barely know. Where were you in 1999 - 2007 when Atiku was VP. I was in Abuja all through till date. If you know what goes on you won’t support such a fraud and dangerous candidate like Atiku. Vote him at your own peril and choice. Atiku is a NO GO!!
Which one of the candidates is not a fraud and dangerous candidate? Which one
Ogbuu101: Fulani again! For those who don't know,that is the same axis the Methodist bishop was kidnapped. I also have a friend whose husband was kidnapped there,was she that delivered the ransom.Confirmed it was foolanis. Apparently, Buhari and hell ruffian have invited all their kith and kin from all over Africa to come and make money in Nigeria via kidnapping.
That Fulani asslicker, wannabe president Thiefnuibu will ask for cows to know that it is not Evans the kidnapper. Not only is the JagaBandit drug lord physically unfit, he is also mentally unfit for any public office, even as LGA councillor.
Bola Hamed Tinubu is the next president of the federal Republic of Nigeria.
Indeed he is, so he can wreck Nigeria further as he is doing to 20 million Lagosians since 1999 and as Bubu is doing to 200 million Nigerians since 2015? The rogue ain't going nowhere except if every Nigerian is a certificated mugulicious mumu.
itubaba001: Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.
Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.
Last year, Nigeria overtook India as the country with the largest number of people living in extreme poverty, thereby becoming the world capital of poverty, according to the Brookings Institute. This year, the number has risen to 91.6 million from 87 million in June 2018. Every minute, six Nigerians enter the group of extremely poor people, according to the World Poverty Clock.
Potable water still luxury 23 years after return of democracy
WHILE the Federal Government continues to proliferate the country with dams, it is such an irony that a state like Lagos, with its massive, constant boast of being a megacity, cannot provide its residents, thereby forcing the bulk of them to take solace in the arms of water boreholes.
At regular intervals, the two major waterworks in the state, the Adiyan, and Iju get grounded leading to the non-availability of water. In April and May last year, for instance, they both produce less than 10% of their installed capacity.
As of today, Eti-Osa, Apapa, Victoria Island, Badagry, Ibeju Lekki, Surulere, Ikorodu, Agege, Ojo, Mushin Kosofe, and most locations in the state are without access to clean water. Consequently, millions of residents now rely on boreholes, rivers, rainwater, as well as comprised wells for their water needs.
On its website, the LWC claims that it has a total installed water production capacity of 210 million gallons per day (MGD), which is far lower than the current estimated daily water demand of 540 million gallons per day.
Also, its plan to produce 745 million gallons per day by the year 2020 through the Lagos Water Supply Master Plan fell flat with the actual number of citizens having access to potable water dropping, rather than increasing 11 years after the launch of the master plan.
A senior staff of LWC, who preferred anonymity said that at present, its agency only supplies water to Lekki, parts of Ikoyi, Victoria Island (VI), Ojodu, Iju, and some parts of Ikotun.
Arutan: Atiku is very desperate to rule Nigeria. He has once whispered that if it were possible to buy up Nigeria, he would do it. Atiku is a complete right off and a very dangerous candidate to be voted into power. He is ready to dump anyone that would stand in his way. He surely will rob us blind. The Deborah tweet further buttress his intent. I would rather vote Obi over Atiku. Power must come to the south but you went ahead to clinch the ticket making brothers betray brothers.
Whispered to you? Where and when Stop peddling lies and rumours as if you are fraudulent Peter Obi's clone.
SATANICALLY: In a 2018 interview, Peter Obi said he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state as a governor.
Obi’s claim was in response to questions on economic development, Anambra politics and his presidential ambition.
“… Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million,” Obi had said.
“It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”
TheCable had previously fact-checked some of the claims.
Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, also debunked a recent statement ascribed to him regarding the investment.
International Breweries (IB) Plc is a subsidiary of the world’s largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) — a multinational drink and brewing giant based in Leuven, Belgium.
In its 2021 audited financial statement, the company said it holds 43 percent economic interest in International Breweries Plc, a publicly listed company in Nigeria.
According to a report by The Nation, AB InBev merged its Nigerian operations under a single corporate entity in 2017. It had three indirect Nigerian subsidiaries — International Breweries Plc, Intafact Beverages Limited and Pabod Breweries Limited. SABMiller Nigeria Holdings BV — another subsidiary of AB InBev — was also a major stakeholder in Intafact and Pabod.
ANAMBRA’S INVESTMENT
In a statement made available to TheCable on Tuesday, Ifeatu Onejeme, Anambra’s commissioner of finance, confirmed that Peter Obi’s administration invested the sum of N1,955,535,247.00 (an equivalent of approximately $12,616,356.43 at the then average CBN exchange rate of N155.00/$1) in Intafact Beverages Limited, a green-field brewery set up in Onitsha by SABMiller Breweries of South Africa in 2012.
Onejeme added that the state government still holds 407,321,264 ordinary shares of International Breweries Plc in exchange for the Intafact Beverages Limited investment.
“Based on the NGX closing price of N5.50 as of 20/6/22, these shares were valued at N2,240,266,952 on that date,” the statement reads in part.
“Based on the Central Bank of Nigeria I&E exchange rate of N415.75/US$1.00 on same June 20, 2022, this investment was valued at an equivalent of approximately US$5,388,495.37 (and at N604/$1.00 parallel market rate, only US$3,709,051.24).”
IB PLC’S SHAREHOLDERS & THEIR CURRENT STAKES
Checks by TheCable showed that International Breweries has two major shareholders with stakes above 5 percent. The highest shareholder is AB INBEV Nigeria Holdings BV with 72.03 percent followed by Brauhaase International Management GMBH with 8.85 percent. These details are contained in the company’s financial report dated March 2022.
AB INBEV NIGERIA HOLDINGS BV – 78.44% BRAUHAASE INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT GMBH – 8.85% FREE FLOAT – 11.03%. Further checks showed that these individuals/ special purpose vehicles (a subsidiary company that is formed to undertake a specific business purpose) are part of the company’s minority stakeholders. They include:
Olugbenga Awomolo – 1.24% Michael Onochie Ajukwu – 0.27% Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe – 0.15% Akintoye Sunday Omole – 0.01% Peter Nwokike Anugwu – 0.02%
Evaloyal2J: Two faced man. Condemn Deborah's killing but withdrew statement after threat on his presidential ambition.. In one of those interview,someone should question his motive behind such bouble standard. A man that can not stand on the truth cannot dispense justice.
Can you please show us where one-faced Thiefnuibu said anything about Deborah's death? Instead the Fulani asslicker was trying to shift suspicion from the killers of Pa Fasoranti's daughter, after he remained deaf & dumb when Obasanjo ordered OPC people sot at sight for retaliating to Fulani provocation. Is Thiefnuibu even a Yoruba man? I suspect that he is not.
ThrownBack: From what I can see up there, Peter Obi will win this election.
It's not because of regional votes or any other demographics, the people are tired of being hungry and unemployed, with insecurity plaguing their lives. 84 million voters cannot make the mistake of voting for failures like those being paraded by PDP and APC.
The same lies we were told about Bubu as the messiah by Thiefnuibu. How far has that taken us? For better, or for worse? Is Peter Obi not just another failure pretending to be a stingy saint of zero corruption

Quest7777: "I Consider Osama Bin Laden a Better Muslim Than Myself" - Isa Ali Pantami, Federal Minister of Communications and Digital Economy of Nigeria

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.
DAILY POST recalls that the Gross Domestic Product, GDP figure in 2015 was $492,437 million which made Nigeria the number 24 in the ranking of GDP of the 196 countries in the world according to the world bank.
Following the current outcry from Nigerians over the hike in prices of commodities, the cost of living in Nigeria prior to the 2015 general elections can be referred to as moderate as a dollar was exchanged for ₦187.952 contrary to the current ₦412.4 to a dollar.
The difference between Ganduje being a sacred cow part of the owners of this Luggardian amalgam called the Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN as opposed to being a minority Ijaw man who could not sack Sanusi peacefully. No wonder Thiefnuibu is kissing the Fulani all the way to Aso Rock next year.
Court bars FRCN from probing Sanusi May 13, 2014
Suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido yesterday won another major legal battle against the Federal Government.
The Federal High Court in Lagos restrained the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) from probing him.
Justice James Tsoho held there is clear evidence that FRCN’s bid to investigate Sanusi’s tenure at CBN is tainted by bias and motivated by bad faith.
He said while FRCN Act empowered to conduct such an enquiry, it cannot do so without recourse to due process.
Justice Tsoho held that FRCN’s declaration in a Briefing Note dated June 7 and submitted to President Goodluck Jonathan were ultra vires (outside) their powers as contained in the FRCN Act, 2011.

fiizznation: So why impeach him now when he just have few months to go. All the while that Nigerians have been killed by bandits, boko haram, unknown gunmen, etc you silly senators never saw the need to impeach the incompetent man, but now that your looting capital(Abuja) is no longer safe that's when you guys remembered impeachment.
Maybe the senators should start by cutting their gigantic allowances for doing absolutely nothing! People just sit their behinds down to scream 'I' and 'NEY' only to go home with millions of naira. Isn't Nigeria wonderful.
Better late than never. Impeaching him even on his last day in office still sends a strong message about our democratic institutions.
A bipartisan impeachment of Donald Trump has just taken place.
House of Representatives impeaches President Trump for the second time The US House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump on one article of impeachment on Wednesday, charging the outgoing president with inciting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol building. The House vote makes Trump the first president in US history to be impeached twice.
Vickram: May this evil government don't happen to us again .
But Thiefnuibu is cummin next year to continue the evil of his Bubu.
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.
Mr Buhari assumed office in 2015, promising to tackle corruption, fight insecurity and pursue economic prosperity for every Nigerian.
However, since he assumed office, insecurity has heightened as Boko Haram insurgents and rampaging bandits continue to kill as well as kidnap for ransom.
Earlier in the month, Boko Haram seized the Kuje prison in the Federal Capital Territory, freeing their members and other hardened criminals into the capital on the same day Mr Buhari’s advance convoy was attacked in Katsina.
Lamenting heightened insecurity, his spokesperson recently admitted that “life is nasty, brutish and nasty” under Mr Buhari’s regime.
In 2018, Nigeria displaced India to become the world’s poverty capital, according to a report by Brookings Institution, with the country’s total public debt hitting a whopping N41.60 trillion under the watch of the Buhari-led regime, according to the Debt Management Office.
A report by the World Bank released recently projected that inflation will plunge about 15 million Nigerians below poverty line under Mr Buhari regime.
“Overall, the “inflation shock” is estimated to result in about 15 million more Nigerians living in poverty between 2020 and 2022,” the report partly reads.

During JEG era fuel was #65, now it's #195 and they said they are not paying subsidy?
Crude oil price is falling globally as advanced countries find alternatives like electricity, solar etc which reduce pollution and cheaper while it's costly in the producing country.

Is Jonathan not a prophet
OrangeHokage: Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State yesterday wondered why the federal government was reluctant towards reducing the pump price of oil from the current N97 per litre it is sold in the country, even when the price has declined in the global market.
The Governor spoke while addressing hundreds of youths at the Lagos State After School Graduation Development Centre, AGDC, IGNITE Employability Project 5, Ikeja.
While disclosing that as at Friday, the Organisation of Petroleum exporting Countries, (OPEC) had on its website, pegged the oil price at $66.27 per barrel, he lamented that Nigerians were not receiving fair treatment from the government like citizens in other oil producing nations.
Hear the Governor, “Now, we should be enjoying cheap fuel if the price of oil has dropped globally. And even as we import the product, a major component has reduced in price. While this has reduced, the pump price of fuel in the country still remains the same. Something is wrong.
“If the price increases in the country when the price of oil goes up globally, then it should also reduce when the price of oil drops.
“I understand that I am not an economist; they (federal government) are the economist. But I have some logic and common sense to ask critical questions. For instance, if one buys flour at N10 per kilogram, and the bread is sold at N1 per loaf, if the price of flour drops, the price of the bread should also change”, he pointed out.
Fashola went on to request the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration to follow the example of other countries that have reduced the pump prices of oil products for their citizens as a result of declining global price of crude oil.

CaptainFM1: How many electorates can pay #100million nomination form? The electorates that even many states are owing them several months salaries. Our polithiefians have weaponised poverty and it will continue for a long time.
Our politics is the most lucrative business in the entire world, that's why you see governors turning Senate & National Assembly to their retirement home.
The masses/electorates have always been involved, just that the entire Nigerian system is rigged against them.
Why are you confusing electorates with candidates? Do all the electorates have to buy nomination forms? Or they can donate money to buy for one/some of them to contest? The system will be rigged against them for as long as they are waiting for someone to do the needful work of making the system better for them to benefit. Why do you expect someone to work and deliver all the income to you
Why should it count if you don't woirk tirelessly to make it count as godfathers do for their own people's votes? You want chop awoof abi You go wait tire.
DeleTaller: But Remi Tinubu is a Christian. Fayemi is a Christian . Osinbajo is a Christian.. I am also a Christian obviously there millions of Christians voting Tinubu in 2023. You can argue this but the end result will justify this and nobody should cry rigging. Tinubu is coming.
Are they Christians who love looting and suffering in the hands of their looters
ElSudani: How much do you think it cost to build a light rail system linking every part of Lagos, and also given the terrain? Jakande did a lot, but a light rail system is very capital intensive. I think Jakande aslo wanted to start it but the military canceled after the civilians toppled. The excuse then was that it was too capital intensive. You just don't criticize just for the sake of it. Use your brain, God gave it to you for a reason.
Not everyone loves suffering and smiling to the point of justifying the looters who are the source of their sufferings.
SB2020: Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.
Addis Ababa / Lagos Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion Length == 34km / 27km Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected) Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010) Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC) Population == 5Million / 20Million GDP == $50Billion (Ethiopia) / $100Billion (Est.) (Nigeria - $535B)
Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.
Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.
Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.
The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.
The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan. The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.
Ayazor54: A report by Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization in USA, has put Nigeria atop the world poverty statistics — ahead of India.
The report, titled ‘The Start of a New Poverty Narrative', says Nigeria has now taken over as the nation with the highest number of extremely poor people in the world, while the Republic of Congo is also rising as the second poorest in the world.
The report reads: “According to our projections, Nigeria has already overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extreme poor in early 2018, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo could soon take over the number 2 spot (Figure 1 below).
"At the end of May 2018, our trajectories suggest that Nigeria had about 87 million people in extreme poverty, compared with India’s 73 million. What is more, extreme poverty in Nigeria is growing by six people every minute, while poverty in India continues to fall.”
The report also predicted that by the end of 2018, there would be 3.2 million extremely poor people on the continent of Afrcia.
It says: “In fact, by the end of 2018 in Africa as a whole, there will probably be about 3.2 million more people living in extreme poverty than there are today.
"Africans account for about two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor and that If current trends persist, Africa will account for nine-tenths by 2030. Fourteen out of 18 countries in the world — where the number of extreme poor is rising — are in Africa.”
The report observed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve the first goal of the Sustainable Development Goals, which is ending poverty.
I“Between January 1, 2016 — when implementation of internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) started — and July 2018, the world has seen about 83 million people escape extreme poverty," it stated. "But if extreme poverty were to fall to zero by 2030, we should have already reduced the number by about 120 million, just assuming a linear trajectory. To get rid of this backlog of some 35 million people, we now have to rapidly step up the pace.”
