The master strategist of Lagos a-looter plan has stolen so much money he can sponsor anyone to help in his fight to grab power from sovereign Nigerians.
Who will help us get away from his wicked yoke Maybe I should ask- how do we work to get ourselves out of his wicked yoke?
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
Helinuse: Absolutely! I remember when Buhari's presidency literally brought a pseudo "religious peace" to northern Nigeria. I mean, religious crises that were a norm in the north just died down. Before Buhari, if a random person saw that there was no food in his house, he would just tell his 5-year-old daughter to go and accuse an Igbo man of blasphemy. This they do, to give them the opportunity to steal all the person's properties and loot his shop. It was the norm.
Then Buhari's presidency made them the frontline claimers of religious cohesion.
Guestmale: That's a good and welcome development. Those who are asking what is the government doing to cushion the effects of subsidies removal this is one of them.
And frying akara with Remi Tinubu's empowerment is another thing the balablu master strategist is doing to cushion his wickedness, not so?
Akara empowerment because her husband failed to create 50 million employments. What can be more wicked than this
Shimbo96: how else do you need the explanation that the subsidy on fuel is putting Nigeria in huge debt because some people are using the borrowed money for personal gain... Common sense is necessary in everyday life.
When are you going to explain why Tinubu is borrowing more after removing subsidy, despite having worse roads than when PDP gave us cheap petrol
token10x: BREAKING: A catfish farming business worth millions of naira has reportedly been wiped out after a truckload of the fish died along the deplorable Benin-Agbor Expressway due to the bad road — sparking outrage among residents and commuters.
bentenny: Another election year where a wicked leader wants to hoodwink citizens by introducing subsided transport fare but removing it after he has been elected.
If you know that is the plan of the master strategist of balablu bulaba a-looter propaganda politics, how much work are you doing to make others in your sphere of reference and beyond understand this wicked scam?
The loss of amalanomics, which is a worse type of voodoo economics that Tinubu wailed about in his pre-2015 fight to grab power for Buhari, after APC invited terrorists to destroy our country.
anonimi: March 8, 2013 Nigeria operating voodoo economy – Tinubu
FORMER Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, dissected Nigeria’s economy and declared that the country was operating a voodoo economic policy that is pauperising the citizenry and urged urgent economic surgery to save the polity.
For instance, Tinubu wondered why the Federal Government is maintaining a foreign reserve of $46 billion with one or two per cent interest and shouldering a load of $42 billion domestic debt, which it services with 16 per cent interest.
“This is voodoo economy,” he said, adding, “they are operating it because they don’t know what to do. It is choking the private sector.
“We must in this country do away with the idea of ‘it is better save the money and spend the people.’ Rather I will say we should adopt the policy of ‘it is better to save the people and spend the fund.’
Jayhome24: Obi followers go cry this morning. Good news about Nigeria is poisonous to them. Dem go cry too much dis morning. Bucket and handkerchief go sell today due to their cry.
Bad Friday for obi snd his supporters...
Can good news about Nigeria be more poisonous to anyone than it is to Tinubu and his fellow APC leaders looters who invited terrorists to destroy our country before he went to Kaduna and begged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president?
No one beats Tinubu in hatred for Nigeria. No one!!!
dominique: It's so nice to see that the league now has sponsors this season and a lot of teams now have shirt sponsors. Slow and steady growth, with time we will start competing shoulder to shoulder with top clubs on the continent.
Go sporting Lagos, go grab them 3 points! Lagos teams are here to dominate!
The mods of Nigeria’s foremost forum have a role to play in this slow and steady growth, don’t you agree?
Ed12: In all of these, Iran will succeed as it always has
Do you think that this Iran-America wahala will even make the petrochemicals division of NNPC more successful than it has been since it was privatised 20 years ago, as part of PDP’s groundwork for 16 years of prosperity, peace and security with cheap petrol, cheap dollars and low debt as well as low tax burden on Nigerians?
anonimi: How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings
Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.
The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.
Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.
The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.
The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.
Mrsoft3: Let the man dey deceive una with him noise, all those things doesn't work. The only people making money from livestock are pastorialist most especially large and small ruminants
Apart from the fact that Makinde revived a ranch in Oyo State for private investors, Atiku also has ranches and feed mills.
Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.
The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.
He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.
He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.
He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.
Omooba77: The association, in a statement on Sunday by the NAS Capn, Dr. Joseph Oteri, said these needless deaths, a grim reflection of the desperation gripping many Nigerians, underscore the rising hunger and economic hardship that has engulfed the nation.
The National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) says it is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of over 60 lives in Oyo, Anambra, and Abuja during recent palliative distribution stampedes.
The association, in a statement on Sunday by the NAS Capn, Dr. Joseph Oteri, said these needless deaths, a grim reflection of the desperation gripping many Nigerians, underscore the rising hunger and economic hardship that has engulfed the nation.
“While we commend the government's effort to alleviate the plight of vulnerable citizens through palliatives, it is evident that these measures have been marred by inadequate planning, poor coordination, and lack of accountability,” it said.
According to the group, the chaotic scenes that led to the fatal incidents are an “indictment of the systemic failure to address the root causes of hunger and poverty”.
The group noted that rising hunger in Nigeria is a national emergency that demands urgent action.
“Failure to act decisively will deepen the crisis, with devastating social, economic, and political consequences,” it said.
“We mourn with the families of the deceased and demand that the government ensures accountability for this avoidable tragedy. Hunger should never be a death sentence in a country blessed with abundant resources.”
“It is time to rise to the challenge of ensuring that every Nigerian can live with dignity, free from the scourge of poverty and hunger,” it added.
Therefore, the association called on all levels of government to urgently prioritize sustainable solutions to the hunger crisis.
It said, “Palliatives must reach the intended beneficiaries without endangering lives. Transparent and well-organised systems, with the involvement of community leaders and credible NGOs, should be put in place to avoid chaotic distributions.
“Beyond temporary relief measures, the government must develop long-term strategies to enhance food production, support local farmers, and stabilize food prices.
“Programmes aimed at addressing the needs of the most vulnerable must be scaled up. Access to affordable healthcare, education, and social safety nets is critical to lifting millions out of poverty.
“Policies that create jobs and enhance income-generating opportunities should be fast-tracked to reduce dependency on palliatives.”
The association noted that two of its chapters in Edo State (Area 3) recently had successful palliative programmes, during which over 2,000 underprivileged persons were fed.
It added that one of the key components of the programme was orderliness.
Kingrshd3: If same Tinubu talk about rearing of goat Nigerians will still abuse her including you 😡
The issue is that she and her husband say what they don’t mean, because they are hypocrites.
Why empower Nigerians to fry akara when your husband has failed to deliver his 50 million employments? What then has the master strategist of a-looter propaganda politics done with our subsidy money if he doesn’t create jobs, if he owes workers, owes pensioners and even owes contractors while rolling over budgets since 2024 because of terribly low implementation?
Why is Jagaban of Borgu borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol, cheap dollars, high productivity and other better things of life?
Kenosky1: This is awesome and no need for the cattle to move around and destroying people's farmland as if we are in the medieval era. And someone actually promoted cows to first class citizens, ranching is the way to go. Please let us embrace modern day agriculture.
Is that the meaning behind Tinubu looking for cows 🐄 and accusing Igbo people of killing and kidnapping Nigerians? Has Jagaban of Borgu promoted the cows of his fellow northerners to first class citizens?
FSBoperator: When did state Judiciary get scrapped ?
Same Tinubu govt that is pushing for state police and for states to operate their own custodial system is whom you are saying scrapped state Judiciary ?
Are you normal?
Your last question is for you.
Why did you say that the federal government has the judiciary to justify Tinubu’s 53%, as if states don’t have?
FSBoperator: Most won't be seeing what they are getting if we practiced true federalism.
So if you are not happy with what states are getting, then let's scrap the Federal govt all together and hand powers to states.
Let every state generate what they can from within their borders and send 20% to the centre strictly to fund diplomatic missions and the rest to contribute to the sovereign wealth fund.
I am sure if this was the case most of you will be crying for FG to come back when you don't have free oil money coming in and VAT from productive states.
Who is stopping you from scrapping the federal government
If Tinubu is not a leech, then why has he not scrapped the federal government since 2023 that senators and representatives have been standing on his mandate?
FSBoperator: They are getting 51% but same FG funds the police and entire federal civil service and other security outfits including the military thereby being the highest employer of labour.
The FG also funds the Judiciary and Prison service from their allocation , fund federal projects that cuts across every state, is building a federal capital with their share from scratch and is funding your federal legislators as well. The FG also funds academic and research institutes with their share.
The FG also offers grants and scholarships to students and researchers with their share.
FG also uses their share to fund federal state, LGA elections conducted by INEC.
Then there are direct subsidies to farmers and grants to small businesses.
What do your governors do with their share ?
When did you APC people scrap state judiciary system?
Is that the next step in Tinubu’s destruction of our democracy as he fights to grab power as life president?
This is terrible news but not surprising given how the master strategist in Aso Rock is owing workers, pensioners and even contractors despite saving billions of dollars from subsidy removal, hitting higher revenue targets in August and borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol and cheap dollars with high productivity to be the biggest economy in Africa.
SportblitsNews: Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) referees are reportedly yet to receive their match indemnities from Matchday 26 of the 2025/26 season, with outstanding payments also said to include the President Federation Cup Round of 32.
The delayed payments have raised concerns among match officials ahead of the new campaign.
pendy79: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.
The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.
While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.
He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.
