I bet you if Tinubu renames UNILAG to MAULAG, the same people that protested against GEJ renaming UNILAG to MAULAG will accept it happily, but if it's a southerner or am easterner, boom!!....... heavy protest will erupt.

Big lie!

Everyone who had something to do with the university all rejected it. Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Efik, everyone who was a student or an alumnus rejected it.

GEJ made a stupid move, especially without consulting the university itself. You can't make stupid unilateral decisions about a university without at least consulting with both the governing body and the student union.

There was no UNILAG student or alumnus that was interviewed then that wanted their beloved UNILAG changed to MAULAG of whatever the ugly name was.

Trust a pastor at your own risk.

Look at him begging to pray for a politician.

Thieves, alatenuje. That is what all of them are.

Continue to call them daddy up and down, while they frollick with the same politicians destroying your lives.

If we were to judge the matter by law and legality, Wike will win.

But this matter is complicated.

Vice Admiral AZ Gambo is senior to the current CDS, General Oluyode, and by that, the CDS cannot go against his orders. This is simple military tradition and precedence.

The only person that can give a counter order to the orders of Vice Admiral Gambo is the Commander-In-Chief, Tinubu, but even Tinubu must be careful because there’s a way he’d handle the matter in favour of the law (Wike) and he would anger the rank and file of the military establishment which will not be good at all.

Remember he just survived a coup.

There’s a reason people like AZ Gambo are left alone to do their thing as far as their actions are not very much against the law or threat to public peace and order.

How much does Wike and FCT ministry want to generate from the General registering for his development levy. It’s a totally unnecessary fracas.

I won’t be surprised if Wike is sacked because of this.

You keep talking about Gambo as if he is still in service.

He is retired. He might be a senior to the current CDS, but he doesn't have any authority over him.

As a matter of fact, it is bad publicity for Gambo.

The EFCC might suddenly become interested, and that is the last thing any current or retired public officer wants.

Wike will win this any time, any day.

First of all, he is doing his job as minister.

The officer who stopped him was not even in his jurisdiction. What is a naval officer doing guarding a plot of land? Is that is primary job? It is not a war zone nor has he been sent there by the president. To make matters worse, he was sent there by a retired naval officer.

From where does a retired naval officer draw the authority to command a serving officer to guard his private property?

I am sure Gambo would not want this sort of publicity. He is likely to call Wike and broker peace before the president steps in.

Hello dear Nairalanders ,,, l am 32yrs and my fiancee is 30yrs... very loving ,, sweet and excellent soul... she tick everything l need in a woman and l will be getting married to her next year by God grace...

My major concern is that she looks older than her actual age,,, and this is her face alone... l have seen girls her senior who looks younger...
we are not poor .. she eats well and have all the necessary things a woman will want...
please what recommendation should one take to look their age and younger too,,, thanks

If this is what is bothering you, then you need serious therapy.

You are not only childish, but also very unprepared for marriage.

Na your wife I pity sha.

Nwabali needs competition. He is already seeing that No 1 shirt as his birthright and so he thinks he can afford to sleep on it.

I knew they were going to be thrashed by Argentina.

Just look at the stat.

We had 14 shots with only 2 on target.

Argentina had 10 shots with 6 on target and 4 goals produced.

Galatasaray needs to get Osimhen a personal therapist.

Otherwise, he will soon become the league's baddest boy, and that won't help Galatasaray at all.

If he played in the Spanish league during the time of Pepe and Ramos, I am sure his red cards would have surpassed Ramos' own.

She is going to find out how hard it is to move on, especially for a woman with two kids.

She should ask from Tonto Dikeh, Toke Makinwa and Tiwa Savage.

Of course, guys will come. But how would she separate the boys from the men?

Would it be after three guys have gone through her and left her worse than they met her?

Ofunaofu:
Yes, the classic “Nigeria has always been bad” excuse as if that somehow justifies the current disaster. So because previous governments failed, Tinubu now has a license to be even worse?

Let’s be clear: nobody is denying Nigeria’s long-standing issues. But the whole point of elections is to vote in leaders who will solve problems not recycle suffering and slap a new hashtag on it like #RenewedShege.

Tinubu campaigned on so-called competence, experience, and the myth that he “built Lagos from scratch.” He promised Renewed Hope but what we got instead is Renewed Shege and hopelessness, turbocharged poverty, a currency in free fall, and a government that treats gaslighting like official policy.

And no, Chibok didn’t happen under APC. But under APC, we got Dapchi. We got terrorists who graduated from motorcycles to coordinated prison breaks, mass kidnappings, razed towns, aerial attacks and now even flaunt ransom money on social media.

Today, under Tinubu, insecurity is the worst it’s ever been and Nigerians are being bled dry by economic hardship layered on top of fear.

So please, stop dragging 2007 into 2025 just to deflect from your current messiah’s failures. If Tinubu is truly “the best thing since sliced bread,” then Nigeria wouldn’t be looking and burning like charcoal toast

The person I quoted started their post with the phrase

Nigeria under Tinubu could not...

Would Nigeria under GEJ have made the list?

Would Nigeria under OBJ have made the list?

That is my point.

I am not making any excuses for any government. But we need to stop being mischievous simply because we don't like Tinubu.

Ofunaofu:
Nigeria under Tinubu didn’t make the top 10 best African governments list. That’s not just an oversight, it’s a masterclass in misgovernance.

Yet the Agbadóos, from Reno Omokri to Bayo Onanuga the Senior Spokesman of Spin, down to the junior domestic servants and mandate standers, keep telling us Tinubu is the best thing since sliced bread.

Curiously, the “best” thing isn’t even good enough to crack the top 10 in Africa. #RenewedShege, #RenewedHopelessness

There is no time from 1999 to date when we could have made top 10.

You people should stop blaming only APC. Or was it under APC that Christian girls were kidnapped in Chibok? Or Boko Haram were taking territories? Was it APC that conducted the 2007 election which international observers described as the worst election in living memory? Nigeria has always been badly governed right from 1999 or even way before 1999. Corruption. Insecurity. Wastage. Rising poverty. Public service corruption (look at the privatization programme under OBJ-Atiku).

DUTY:
my lawyer always tell me that whatever crime I wanna commit, make I no let woman kpai for my house. Na serious case.

Just always pray never to get into trouble.

You can get into trouble by many other ways. It is not only if a woman kpai in your house.

Sometimes, a person can land in prison by being in the wrong place.

I know someone who was picked up at a fruit seller's stand.

NDLEA packed everyone there. It turned out that the fruit seller deals in drugs, and the fruits were just a front.

They are still on the case, almost 3 years now. His house is not even far from the stand. He was on casual clothes and slippers. Just to buy fruit across the street, and you end up in jail and legal battles.

POINT OF CORRECTION: Yoruba Actor die at 70

Who is Pete Edochie?

An English actor? Or maybe he is a Hollywood actor because he acts English Nigerian movies.

You people are so ignorant!

Chief Kanran lived on the same street with me when I was a child.

Always trekking and always minding his business.

He always acted rich man in movies, but was the exact opposite in real life.

I stopped seeing him after we moved to a new street.

Ironically, the new street we moved to had Yomi Fash Lanso living close by.

Fatoyinbo thinks the Babalola family is as greedy as he and his fellow pulpit bandits.

With all his own wealth, would he be able to leave a legacy that would match that of Ayo Babalola?

The audacity to even mention the Babalolas?

Does he not know his fellow prosperity preachers?

Kukutente23:
Did he tell us to go and verify?
Check the topic again

Did Obi say we should go and verify at the source?

Or maybe you don't know the meaning of "verify".

This K1 is becoming too unruly. Who does he think he is? He thinks because he is rich and famous he is above the law.

The government needs to remind some people once in a while that no one is above the law, no matter how rich or famous you are.

Kukutente23:
Don't be lazy
Obi said go and verify
He didn't say go to twitter and copy tweets
You need to visit each location yourself and VERIFY

Did you visit the united States' to confirm that Tinubu forfeited money from proceeds of drugs?

Did you visit Chicago State University before believing that Tinubu didn't graduate?

Did you visit Lagos State records before believing that Tinubu still embezzles Lagos funds?


You people are dangerous.

Hamachi:
Zambia doesn't equal Morocco: Morocco plays a more structured, technical game. Beating Zambia 5–0 doesn’t guarantee Nigeria will dominate Morocco the same way.

Morocco Is Resilient: They haven’t lost all tournament, and they’ve beaten strong teams like Ghana and Senegal. They know how to manage tough games.

Watching replays isn’t the same as live play: Replays remove pressure, but real matches are about handling the moment—crowd, tension, momentum. That’s what makes finals hard.

Conclusion: Nigeria is strong, yes—but dismantling Morocco won’t be easy. Respecting the opponent is key to winning the title.

Go and read the post I was responding to. You will understand my position better.

Who got her pregnant? That is first question that should bother everyone, especially women.

In a sane country, the person who got her pregnant would be languishing in jail right now.

But this is Nigeria, an insane country. A girl got pregnant at 15, and no one is asking the salient question.

givedemwotowoto:
OBJ had shortcomings and was criticized for them, but when it comes to Nigeria, his government was one of the most prosperous for Nigeria between 1999 and 2025. Tinubu's government is the worst within the same period, and that's the most important thing to Nigerians.

Prosperous to you because Nigerians only think about the enjoyment of today. You don't think about tomorrow.

It was prosperous, but you didn't worry that the government would not be able to sustain the prosperity.

They didn't build refineries, they wasted 16 billion dollars and even more on fake 24/7 electricity supply project, they didn't tackle corruption.

How do you think prosperity will continue for years?


We don't have the capacities to refine our own oil, rather we import the finished products and then subsidize them for the populace and the populace is happy because food is cheap.


Now that reality has caught up with us, you want to exonerate the originator of the whole mess and blame everything it on Tinubu simply because he grew the balls to do something OBJ should have done many years ago.


Do you people actually think Nigeria will continue to prosper by buying finished products of its own crude oil and then subsidize it to keep pump price affordable?


Have you seen our GDP per capita? Did you see the subsidy debt Buhari inherited and the one Tinubu inherited from Buhari?


Everything is not about today. Think about tomorrow too.


You are enjoying today but you don't care to put in sustainable practices that will make sure you continue to enjoy. That is the case of OBJ.


He swindled all of you.

Hemanwel:
The Moroccan team played so well against the Black Queens of Ghana yesterday. In fact, both teams displayed quality football. I was wondering if the Super Falcons could handle any of the teams.

Based on this premise, I hate to say that the Atlas Lionesses will lift the trophy. My prediction is based on what I have seen both teams play.

The Zambians played well against the Moroccans, and even led twice before Morocco forced them to a 2-2 draw.

But we saw what happened when Zambia met Nigeria.

Their two prolific strickers could not even register a single shot on target. Then, to make matters worse, the whole team was dismantled 5-0.

It is easy to see the good performances of other teams. It is hard to see the good performances of your own team because you will be in too much pressure to see beautiful football even if it is being in full display.

To really see how your team fares, watch their matches after the live match. With no pressure, you will see that the Nigerian team can actually dismantle this Moroccan team.

SalamRushdie:
He was a massive failure who was bequeathed a working economy but rather than improve it he destroyed , in 8 years he didn't improve a single economic or social metric rather he made all of the 5 times worse , he will be remembered for allowing members of his tribe from outside Nigeria to go about murdering thousands of Nigerians while looking away ... may the souls of those gis bad leadership killed rest in peace

Which working economy?

An economy that had stopped growing in 2014?

micky2004:
This is Peregrine Falcon and it's the Fastest Creature in the World and it can only be found in Africa and some Parts of Asia.

It's a Predator Bird preying and eating Lizards, Insects (Even including Scorpion) and Snakes.

Maybe it saw a lizard or Scorpion or even Snake in your Compound that it's trying to get and got trapped.(it's very harmless to human beings)

It's good that you free the innocent bird as it can't be domesticated (just like Eagles) otherwise it will die of Starvation because they can't be fed by human beings only preferring to hunt on their own.

It is a kestrel, not a peregrine.

Both the kestrel and peregrine are falcons, but the peregrine is bigger and faster and is, in fact, the fastest animal on earth.

The kestrel, like every falcon, is fast, but it is not even as fast as the cheetah.

APOPTOSIS:
That's the fastest bird and the fastest animal on the planet

That is a kestrel, a type of falcon.

It is not even as fast as a cheetah.

The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on the planet.

ch214:
Obasanjo is a yoruba man that hate tribalism and will speak the truth even if it does not favour the yorubas.

Obasanjo is not sentimental but honest.
Obasanjo dey try shall, continue dey speak the truth.

The Igbos should present a credible leader.

Moreover, the Hausas have not produced a single president since 1960, yet they don't complain like the Igbos who have produced one president and one head of state.

Obasanjo always pandering to the Igbos. This was what Soyinka used to do then until they started dragging him. Hopefully, they won't bounce on Obasanjo too one day.

donleo92:
I laugh at people that thought that Iran won this war. Infact Iran is at a worst shape than before the war.

You lose like 20 top generals during a 12 day war, and you call that victory??

I wonder what this Iranian supreme leader smokes?? Dude is mentally sick and obsessed with false hood

Ever heard about pyrrhic victory?

Iran lost 20 generals, but they achieved significant success against Israel's military shield.


For Israel to agree to a ceasefire so quickly means they felt the power of Iran.



Israel lost because they cannot say their goal for waging war was achieved. But Iran won because they defended themselves well and exposed some of the vulnerabilities of Israel.


Israel felt they could bully Iran. They threw the first blow and warned Iran not to retaliate. Iran not only retaliated, she went on to hold Israel and her allies in battle for over 2 weeks.

Heffalump:
How can the person that is greater than you by all standards fall just like that?

You know what, with Donald Trump in power, not sleepy Joe, he will scatter everything and the world will begin afresh. Russia and China make too much noise and empty vessels make the loudest noise.

I won't say much, but just watch and see. Even Russia will be scared to fight for Iran. The Ukraine fight is still giving them big headache.

Mention one war that the Americans have won singlehandedly in history?


If you think they can face China or Russia or India, then you are ignorant.


They have had their asses whooped many times. They had their asses exposed in the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993.


One thing with warfare is that no one can predict how it would end, especially in a war where two superpowers are facing off.


The US can only face China through proxies.

Heffalump:
Russia is pushing Iran to destruction. They are behind all these wahala Iran is having today.
Russia chose to arm Iran with nuclear weapons despite knowing that this will trigger reactions and serious consequences. I believe many Arab countries within the region wouldn't want Iran to have nukes either. Very big threat is Iran.

It is Israel that is pushing the United States to destruction.


The United States should learn from the fall of the Roman Empire.

smtx:
For its own security first and foremost

So, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons for its own security too? Moreover, why keep nuclear weapons for security? Does it not mean that it would eventually be used to the detriment of the whole world in the future? So, why keep it? Do you know how much it costs in dollars to maintain nuclear programmes and the cost to the environment from dismantling or retiring ageing ones?

Your argument is lame.

If Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, no one else should. Nuclear weapons are dangerous, and no one can be trusted with them. Not America, not Israel, not Russia.

and of course deterent to Nations like Iran and for security globally.

Deterrent to Iran? But what will Iran use as deterrent to nations like Israel and the United States who have sponsored terrorist groups like Jundallah to distabilize the government in Iran?

Iran can not own one yet, it's simple! It's like AK 47 in the hands of a mad man.

So, what is nuclear weapons in the hands of North Korea. Yet, North Korea is allowed to own nuclear weapons.

Russia is allowed to own nuclear weapons.


But Iran can't. Iran which allows itself be bound by the UN Charter.


The true madman in North Korea is allowed to own nuclear weapons, but Iran which respects the UN Charter can't.


Israel, a threat to Iran, can own nuclear weapons, but Iran can't.


Honestly, I don't know how you people feel about big countries bullying small countries.

brain54:
Iran stubborn Sha...

Qater doesn't seem interested in retaliating from their body language!

Qatar have always maintained that they would never be dragged into any conflict with Iran. Both Iran and Qatar regard themselves as brothers.

Moreover, Qatar has a lot to lose in such a conflict. The country is doing well economically and they would not want to be set back by the destruction of war.

smtx:
People taking sides know what the issues are, that's y we are taking sides. Its people like you that pretend and propagate hate that wants to change the narrative.

Some countries policing other countries as regards nuclear weapons is very obvious, it's to bring about world order, global security and avoid nuclear terrorism. Just imagine Iran with so much human rights violations and suppression of minorities in its domain having nuclear weapons? You can't be serious. A country where citizens are persecuted for daring to criticize the government, a country with no democratic value or rule of law, a county where abosulte power is enshrined on an individual for 36 years... Pls

To some extent US can be trusted with Nuclear weapons because since 1945 after the Hiroshima and Nakasaki bombings the two countries have moved past that phase. The relationship between the two countries is so strong that US has military presence in Japan, I don't know why you are crying more than the bereaved.

The other points needs no response because as a Nigerian, you should know that the support is divided. Not because we hate your religion but what we have witnessed with our own eyes even in the past few weeks. Imagine if the so called proxies of Iran are to use nukes.

You are hilarious.

Why do countries have nuclear weapons?


First, answer that question.
