And he's still planning on giving them more, planning to increase their revenue allocation formula and giving them 5% tax revenue. Yet wailers won't hold their Governors to account.
How do you gain the support of the legislators, judiciary and the governors? Simply give them a taste of what you are enjoying...that way everyone is implicated. The FG have everything at it's disposal to oversee what the other arms of government are doing. So what's stopping FG from ...?

The price of our Laptop Powerbank at JOSHNKA TECHNOLOGY LIMITED is 120k.

If you are to add a 500w inverter to it....the price is 140k.

Solar batteries of different (bigger) capacities are also available

I will be updating
What sort of batteries and size (mAh) does it use or have? Secondly, was it indigenously built/assembled?
BusinessRe: Otedola: How My Father’s £250,000 Loan Changed My Life by Arostar2023: 4:32pm On Aug 22, 2025
Anonymous11:
Femi's Dad was only a Governor for a period of less than a year, like Kemi Olunloyo's father, and a few others! His father was not known to be a wealthy man. It appears that Femi's book may not be entirely accurate, according to those who are familiar with his sources of wealth. Femi and Dangote seem to have been individuals who capitalised on opportunities, gaining access to government assistance in the late 1990s, specifically when Obasanjo came into power. They both benefited from government favours. Femi's father was not wealthy, but he maintained a close friendship with Obasanjo.
His father wasn't wealthy but could afford to give him a 250,000 pounds loan? How do you explain that?

You people should desist from this idea that he came from a wealthy home,

it's requires great diligence, hardwork and grace to attain that height.

He was well positioned and took the opportunities when it came.

If you think it's about your parents having money, how many Governors and president sons are among the richest in Nigeria today?
It's still doesn't take away the fact that he came from a wealthy and politically connected family. There are many Nigerians languishing in penury because of lack of access to what he had and has. His story won't inspire many Nigerians because he benefited from the rot...

You lack restraint and discipline.

There is nothing wrong with having a platonic relationship with an ex
By ex, I presume the OP is talking about someone he had sexual relationship with in the past. You mentioned self-control and I agree with you to an extent. But if you had self control you probably wouldn't have been in a sexual relationship outside marriage in the first place. We have been advised to run away from all appearance of evil.

I wonder who told you that? By the way, Jesus Christ was not around when songs of Solomon was written and does not explicitly describe Jesus. The man described has dark, bushy hair, but it’s part of a romantic poem, not a theological portrait.

How can Nigeria call it self a sovereign country when a lot of its actions are being funded by other sovereign countries.you hear Japan funding this,France funding that.

There's a problem somewhere
There's something we aren't being told

I am yet to understand and figure out how this works.

For example ,who is funding Japan?
Who is funding France?
Who is funding China?

They summon African LEADERS every year.

There's something wrong somewhere.

There's something really wrong somewhere
African leaders will always require extra funding...who wouldn't need extra funding, after looting and mismanaging available scarce resources?

Zero.

Awon ‘outrage expressers.’

How many of the outrage expressers will see a Nigerian made watch and a Swiss watch, and choose the Nigerian one?

Or see a pair of Italian shoes next to Nigerian made shoes, and choose the Nigerian one?

Zero.

We have nothing to display there because you all prefer foreign made.

You want us to go there and deceive people?

Show them stuff they should buy from us which we won’t buy from ourselves?

It is their technology and weapons that makes them endure, though there is power and mysticism in the religion, it is a weapon for Europeans...don't forget the secret rites of the masonry, jesuits, they do rituals and offer sacrifices too, this is common knowledge...all these are European and Jewish controlled, they can't let you into their deepest secrets. Of course there is a energy the religion carries no doubt, but my point is do not condemn our African spirituality, it endured us to become great thousands of years ago.
African traditional religion didn't sustain anyone...they couldn't stop the invasion by Whites. The Catholic church went into the so called sacred and evil forests, and built their churches. And the natives were waiting for them to fall and die suddenly. And guess what? Nothing happened to them. The God that rules the whole universe will be my God not one tribal dirty god somewhere. I am against any practices or culture that venerate them. We don't need those...

Do you know how long a thousand years is?

Portuguese was once a power too but faded to the background, the UK is already fading to the background, as time goes on things changes, power changes hands. In the next 100 years the power dynamics of the world will change drastically... don't forget the Europeans are smart enough to form NATO, build nuclear weapons, and keep oppressing Africa and others for resources and advantage... forcing the dollar on our necks as the benchmark on international trade, sanctioning nations and even going to war if their interest is threatened, but despite all these with time power dynamics will change...it has been changing, from Egyptians to Ottomans to Romans to Greece to the British. 1000 years is a long time in history.
My point is that righteousness exalts a people, and sin is a reproach to any nation. Any group that practices devilish or unjust traditions will eventually face extinction. If the UK and others persist in fostering moral decadence—a deviation from the values that once established them—they will inevitably decline.

People who practice Christian values, whether knowingly or unknowingly, tend to endure. Africans should abandon false gods and embrace the God who sets free. Mind you, not everyone who calls themselves a Christian truly embodies or lives by Christian values

Christianity was created by Romans, same people that executed Jesus, Constantinople...

In our culture, we pray for good yields, pray for offsprings, teach good morals, if your heritage is filled with beasts and savages, you are on your own. The Egyptians built the pyramids and the first mechanical civilisation and Empire, ruled the world at a point, Egyptians were black and brown, they did this practising their own religion, the Benin Kingdom ruled West Africa practising it's own cultural and spiritual ways, how we pray, communicate with the elements and supreme being and our rituals, were ours, original and it worked for the kingdom's good, Timbuktu empire was built by Africans, all these thousands of years ago.

The rise of the Europeans began with the Germanic tribes who ruled Great Britain and the UK, later the Vikings who are Northern Europeans (Scandinavians), began to build power too, all are Europeans, all these nations began ruling the world, just about 850 years ago in total, but Africans, blacks have been ruling kingdoms and empires, as far back as 5000 years ago(Egyptian civilisation), while the Benin Kingdom of Nigeria and Timbuktu Kingdom of Mali started way back, about 1300 years ago.

The Chinese built their strong nation practising Buddhism, Nigerians like you who are zombies, enslaving themselves via a doctored religion, packaged to make them meek and obidient slaves are going round in circles.

With all our practice of borrowed cultures as religion, where is Nigeria now?

Are Nigerians righteous or living right?

We still manage to churn out the most corrupt political class in the world, while other nations that focus on their own cultural spirituality India, China are progressing.

Emancipate your mind from mental slavery.

N.B: You talk about idolatry...what will you call people praying in front of statutes and symbols in our religious churches and centres today?

What will you call handkerchief worship?

What will you call the worship of money?

Idolatry!
I am by no means saying that all African cultures are evil or regressive. Like most human-formed cultures, we have the good, the bad, and the ugly. We Africans should abandon the harmful aspects and embrace the values and practices that have built and sustained civilizations.

No man is an island. The so-called traditions and cultures of our ancestors were started and shaped by individuals.

Let me share a quote from the novel Arrow of God:

'And we have all heard how the people of Aninta dealt with their deity when he failed them. Did they not carry him to the boundary between them and their neighbours and set fire on him?' (Arrow of God, p.28)
If what we have currently is not working, we should change it and adopt working ones. That's how intelligent people live. Period.

Yes, we’ve heard of the Benin, Mali, and Egyptian empires—great civilizations and all that. But the question you need to ask is: what happened to them? Why did they decline so rapidly and never rise again?

You want to force Christianity on Japan and the rest?
When have they accepted your Jesus ?

Don’t force them please, they don’t want to end up like Nigeria where you people go to church every day and cause noise pollution… then fight and kill each other over Islam and Christianity.

Japan is one of the most disciplined counties in the world and they live based on ancient Japanese principles passed down from thousands of years to this generation.
Please stop exposing your ignorance if you don’t know ow Japan is built.

Go and read about Japanese principles please and learn.

Yorubas my own ancestors had our own principle too.. and isese is a reminder of those principles.
If our society were built on Yoruba principles, we would be among the world powers today.

Go and read please… you have 2025 tech and resources, don’t be ignorant
Oga calm down! I never said Japan as a nation accepted Jesus Christ. What I said in effect is that some people practice biblical principles inadvertently. And it works universally...
Up to 2025, some African tribes eat the heart of their dead kings , believe in burying the dead with fresh human skulls and bloody money rituals. Those are the things you want us to practice abi?

Omoawoke:
Normally I ignore single digit IQ people

But let me make this an exception

It’s weird that some people still think development automatically means Abrahmic religions. Yet the most technologically advanced countries today like Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are not Christian nations nor Islam.

Japan leads the world in robotics while still honouring Shinto shrines and ancestral spirits. China became a global superpower while practising Taoism, Confucianism and ancestor veneration. South Korea gives the world Samsung, Hyundai and LG and still celebrates Chuseok, bowing to their ancestors every year. Not one of these countries abandoned their roots in favour of a foreign god before achieving greatness.

So why do Africans believe kneeling to the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (foreign ancestors) is what makes them “civilised”?

What exactly is foolish here? A Lagos State public holiday for Isese is not idol worship. It is restoration of identity. You don’t need to hate Jesus or Mohammed to love your own ancestors. But if your first reaction to anything African is to scream “demonic”, then you have simply proven that mental colonisation worked, your body is free, but your mind is still in chains.

How many Chinese have you seen bearing Mohammad, Ibrahim, Michael, Gabriel??
Just you confused black Africans, that take pride in bearing Arabic and Jewish names
Culture evolves... Europeans before now were savages and worship "things". But they have evolved since then... Japan and co wouldn't have made this far if they had founded their society on endemic cultures that are retrogetive. I don't need any idolatrous practices or culture to know and identify with my ancestors and root. Christianity have principles that apply universally. Anyone in India or Japan that subscribe to those principles prospers. But they may not have eternal life, unless they have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.
