Reno will excel. It’s a perfect choice.

Is this a sign of Oti severing his relationship with Tinubu?

This is the time political solutions can be applied in Nnamdi Kanu’s case under the prerogative of mercy. It couldn’t have been done until a judgment has been pronounced by the judiciary. It’s now in the court of the executive and within the president’s power to release him now. So, governors like Alex Otti have activated that strategy. Trust PBAT, it will be take and give political dealings. Let’s watch how it all plays out.

I can’t really understand why Edo youths cannot mobilize to rescue not just this couples but any other persons being held.

Quest7777:
🤔
Still can't justify the rationale behind this very expensive Coastal Highway, when we can use a little fraction of the money to maintain the already existing roads linking Lagos to Calabar.

It seems you are not aware that this coastal road was part of the major project infrastructure mandatory to be provided after the civil war for the purpose of national reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction policy. While the similar RRR projects located in the north were constructed, that of the south , particularly this coastal highway was completely abandoned by most of the heads of state/presidents predominately from the north.
The north never and would never construct this coastal highway as they see that it will widen the development gap between the north and south, instead they opted to concentrate on the north and Abuja. It takes a determined southern president to actualize this project. If it is stopped, forget, you can kiss infrastructure development in the south goodbye because the north will never do it. This is the best opportunity for the south for this project. It will be enough as a major gift to the south by this presidency. My home is directly in the Niger Delta and this project will positively impact our people.

Christians in the north had better prepare to defend themselves to preserve their lives. No need waiting on the government or security agencies alone to protect them. You can’t just fold your hands while being killed this way.

God bless Niger Delta, God bless Nigeria.

JuanDeDios:
I'd take this sort of risk with beer, not PMS. By removing susbidies, Nigerians have suffered enough. To then add a 15% increase (that's what is, since it allows Dangote to increase prices by 15% without any fear of competition) is unconscionable.

Dangote is dropping price and will continue week in week out. You put high tariffs on imports to protect your national interests not to hurt the people. Let’s be smart to see the good in some actions of government.

thomas2024:
A government bent on taxing the citizens to death with no substantial achievement to show except for propaganda, and window-dressing packaged achievement, lol

It seems you don’t really understand that the tariff is in favor of the people, in favor of Nigeria and really pissed off Trump and co. It was a master stroke of a tariff that seeks to save us from the oil cabals etc. Most of them are already winding up their various refineries outside Nigeria with this 15% imposition. It has no negative effect on the people. Those guys with this press conference are fronts for those that has been milking us. Most refined product importers are already declaring losses as there are no subsidy, no incentives nor petroleum equalization fund. Corruption is approaching zero in the petroleum sector. All tank farms are virtually empty. No more pressure on our foreign reserves. The benefit is very huge.

Wake up from your slumber. Obi can't defeat Tinubu....
The North will not vote an Obi over Tinubu .
Stop making politics look hard, it's a very simple game to play. When Tinubu wanted to defeat GEJ, he sponsored and supported Buhari....
You guys (South East) should stop playing nzobuzobu politics, if not presidency will be far from you guys.... Stop listening to lightweight politicians from the North like Datti, that are pushing for Obi, these are guys that can't win their polling units. Have you heard any heavyweight politicians from the North talked about giving the tickets to Obi? They want Obi in the coalition so the victory will be landslide and difficult to rig... Obi and his people should negotiate for 2031 or 2035. That's how you wrestle power, it is not given..

The SE has failed so far to get to the presidency because the north detest them and would not allow anyone from that region come close to power. Tinubu is bent on changing that come 2031 should the north field a northern candidate in 2027. All agreements would be broken, pbat would ensure David Imahi or Soludo or Kalu takes the presidency after his tenure. The presidency of Nigeria needs someone with a Federal experience or an astute big shot politician which Obi does not have. Obi should have accepted the ministerial slot given to him two years ago by pbat as such would have boosted his credentials and make 2031 a South East only affair. Politics is a highly strategic game and you need others to support you to win. Don’t create enemies for your candidate by insulting your opponent in every way possible.

Shame on you

No country goes through reforms and live comfortably.
When a nation that has been badly damaged is being rebuilt, there must be pains. Most countries of the world don’t like our people, why then can’t we stay and build our own. Most young people of today don’t have any mini farm of their own particularly in southern part of the country where we have some relative peace. In my place outside oil, we are predominantly fish farmers. I have just bought two fishing trawlers to start fishery business and see how we can bring the price of fish down through mass supply to the market. We should not just sit and wait to be fed, we can always feed ourselves. Depending on just one income from office job alone to survive in any nation would be a risk anyone can enforce on him or herself. Let’s build the country to greatness by contributing our own personal effort no matter how little. PBAT government is a government reforms and recalibration. A government designed to lay the necessary foundation for nation building. The greatness of Nigeria lies in everyone’s hand. Depending mainly on USD will make your case get worse.

Jaylord12:
Thank you...your opinion and I respect it.......To me am yet to see any impact from APC when I do I will state it......

If I want to start small scale LPG storage tank for distribution I will need 300m-500m,why? Because of the the dollar rate.....you think it is good for the economy?...when businesses do well the economy will do great..

I just thank God fie his faithfulness but Tinubu no try @ all

You have this huge capital challenge because you did not look for alternatives available in Nigeria such that will enable you achieve your goal. Great nations don’t just become great by depending on another nations currency to measure their own growth. There are ways of achieving that project of yours locally using local content. Without local content input and utter bold creativity, no nation can become great. Kindly look inward. I have on my own part avoid anything that would compel me to depend on USD always. Infact, i make such money and try to inject it back in form of investment in Nigeria. We can’t continue to depend on these countries that don’t really like us. Let’s build our own country by using at least 80% local content first.

Jaylord12:
I can say of the sw because it been over a year I travelled to there but you see SS/North I can predict to an extent....

The challenge am having with this APC is that they aren't doing well and they will not want you to state it, as it is...If the president is doing well,ppl will state it.and the masses will rejoice .....

For years the masses have been taken for granted, the politicians appropriated everything to themselves leaving the masses to wallow in poverty. Nigeria was virtually gone and at the edge of collapse at the end of Buhari regime. Tinubu took over, steered it away from collapse, changed the status quo, reorganized every facets of governance and financial system. He gave the north the same dose they have been dishing out to the south for years. Now, lots of southern politicians are being elevated for future political contest. What this man seeks is a united south that will be able to also dictate how this country is governed. The strength of our national economy and survival lies in the south at the moment as the north is currently being riddle by conflicts. No meaningful economic activity is taking place in the north. The entire burden of the nation is on the south. We must remain supportive and united to avoid a step back into the abyss should continuity be denied. My hope and expectation is that a day and time will come when Obi will work with Tinubu instead of going around foraging for who to work with. We must at all times face our realities.

Jaylord12:
South? If things continue like this, 2027 will b a lesson 4 most politicians....Sw no doubt 90% he will win but SS/SE na lie

What most don’t realize here is that Tinubu is a president who is pro-south to a fault. He is doing his best to raise strong and new leaders from the south (and middle-belt)not just for today, not just for the 2027 upcoming elections, but far into the future. SS will support PBAT in 2027 because since he got in , we have never had it this good in SS. He is also building those infrastructures in the south that have been long neglected by various northern administrations. PBAT is hated by some disgruntled northern elites because they couldn’t dictate to him as they normally do to any southern president. He is not sharing national resources freely to the northern elites as they would have expected. He is not even keen on running. All he wants to do is to lay a proper foundation for whoever is going to come after him and ensure continuity. We should stop playing politics to the extent of destroying our growth as a nation. It’s high time we all support our nation on the path of continuous growth not divide ourselves based on parochial and ethnic sentiments.
I support anyone that is capable of pulling this country out of years of decay to a path of progress and national dignity. So far, PBAT is the only one i have seen that is capable and cannot be dictated to by anyone. The more time we have the more accomplishments we can achieve. When you support your nation and pray for its leadership, then you are entitled also before heaven to prosper in same nation.

Why don't they just put a basin by the celebrant so people can spray into the basin. That's just like dropping offerings in Church.


Never knew spraying Dollars was an offence.
Maybe it's an offence in US, & EFCC is helping to enforce that in Nigeria.

Spraying of Dollar in Nigeria can never be an offense and it should be challenged in court not debated.

Those flatheadss skip this thread

I think we should all celebrate this achievement as Nigerians devoid of tribalism. The two top groups in Nigeria should not always be at each others throats.
Congratulations to us all.

Thewrath:
If GTB has no hands in it,why haven’t they released a statement to that effect?

Why are we so ignorant in this country? GTB has released CCTV footage confirming they have no hand in the arrest. This is a petition based arrest by EFCC. If the state is involved, it won’t be EFCC but DSS. If GTB is involved, it won’t be EFCC but police.
Let’s know what the petitioner is alleging before jumping to conclusions. If there is a petition, GTB cannot be forced to intervene due to public pressure.

SmartPolician:
Those guys aren't superhumans. The problem of black people is that we are too greedy, petty and selfish to focus on things that matter - innovation, development and research.

Until we have leaders who genuinely value knowledge and are ready to invest in knowledge economy, black people, especially Nigerians, will always be underdogs in the scheme of things.

Religion, envy and ethnicity is destroying the black race. It has made our minds to be very retrogressive. The black man is so very divided along the above lines that it has become irreparable.

PDP is in complete tatters.

Or somehow It will Pay off For him in the Future.🤔

Obi is an un-announced member of APC already. APC has come to stay as a breeding ground for new generation of leaders in Nigeria. Tinubu as usual is breeding and strengthening new sets of leaders from mainly the south and the north. The defections are pure political bargaining and realignment for both 2027 and 2031. With the current plan, Atiku is a complete gonner.

Eteka1:
The power sector holds the keys to Nigerian industrial and economic development. Unfortunately, successive governments have not been able to make it work.

Tinubu Should save Nigeria by putting Wike in Charge of the power sector. It Appears that Wike knows how to get the job done, there's no argument about that.

Wike is the best we have seen in the country for now.

marhoinspire:
This is so shameful and disgusting. A direct slap on the faces of all Nigerians. These officers should be suspended and removed from the police force as an example to others. These officers have lost the ethics of their calling.

Honestly, i felt personally embarrassed as a Nigerian seeing these bunch being badly humiliated by a Chinese.
It’s a huge shame.

Video showing some men of the Nigeria Police
Force lining up to receiving N5000 cash gift from their Chinese bosses has made the rounds on social media.



The officers who were more than ten in number,
lined up as their boss counted N1000 mint notes
and handed them N5000 each.


While some Nigerians find nothing wrong in the
video as it showed a boss showing love to his
workers, others argue that it is demeaning to
have had the officers file out to get cash gifts.

What a very big shame.
They were being videoed to the extent they made a complete mockery of them by further asking their kids to continue with the money sharing. They thoroughly disgraced the nation and what we hold as civilization.

Heart3030:
is the blackman not worst with what is going on in Nigeria and Africa.

Nigeria is the worst. The country is good but the people are very wicked to each other and very unfair to the country itself. We have gone several steps backward towards achieving national integration. It’s as if a strange set of people with strange values suddenly got resurrected or came into our midst. People hell bent on destroying us as a nation by all means necessary. A people that seems unable to take advantage of its diversity and feed itself but rather indulge in criminality, banditry and all sorts of fraudulent practices. The nation is gradually becoming eroded without us knowing.
We have refused to move forward as a nation because we are currently being bogged down in our tracks and march towards nation hood. We must collectively, as both young and old to rescue ourselves from this downward slide by making deliberate effort to first feed ourselves and attempt to export the excess to other African countries. We should by now be seeing multiple made in Nigeria products flooding most African countries. We have everything to achieve economic dominance in Africa but we are not making very good use of it.

Putindbutt:
Opposition is weak, of they couldn't do anything to Buhari, is it Tinubu they could bark at?

Tinubu that took power when he had no power and against all odds. Is it now that he has full power that anyone would want to challenge him? He won’t allow the north to break the complete 8 years of Southern presidency. He would rather ensure another southerner wins the presidency than allow any northerner to break the 8yrs. If north fail to support the south for the 8yrs then be sure, the north will be fragmented subsequently as no northerner will be able to make it to the presidency again easily. Only Buhari has a 12m block vote in the north which no other northern politician can boast of. This is politics and Tinubu is the grandmaster of it all. Right now he is building young leaders across the nation that will take the country to next level after his administration. If you are above 60yrs old, you are automatically disqualified from contesting for the presidency. There is a joker in the pack.

otokx:
If only a rail line was included.

Rail line is included and will take the middle gap.
This project was conceived more than 40-50yrs ago as a legacy project for the southern part of Nigeria-dubbed the coastal highway, but due to all sorts of politics played against the south by different governments, it was ignored and never launched. This is a project that will be of immense economic benefit to the South because all these years , several legacy projects, multiple roads have been constructed in the north making traveling in the north far easier compared to the South.
Now, Tinubu just have to launch and finish it because after this southern presidency, the project will surely be abandoned by any Northern president. We must link all our coastal states as recommended before and post independence by the nation’s founders.

Tinubu is well determined to complete it and he has designed the funding structure to be 75% private and 25% government. This is business that will favor the southern economy. The other three legacy projects will also take same funding structure to ensure they are completed but the coastal highway is most important.
This projects demands public support.

[quote author=NdiLucifer post=134873619][/quote]Federal Government already purchased all lands in Abuja and compensated the Gwaris(original owners) fully with both lands and money. All lands in Abuja belongs to the FG and they allocate it accordingly. Before Tinubu’s presidency, most of the lands were indiscriminately allocated to the Hausa’s and more to the Fulanis who later sold most to Southerners. Now southerners own majority of lands and properties in Abuja(55%/45%). No tribe as it stands can lay claim to Abuja ownership. It’s now a territory that should unify the Country. Where anyone in the country should feel comfortable and safe to stay. Tinubu/Wike really changed a lot of things to restore the lopsidedness and make it align with the vision and intent of the founding fathers.

The South need not bother about such threats. Any attack against southerners particularly of Niger-delta extraction will trigger a fire the north won’t be able to quench. Imagine a policeman making such threats? The north will end up being the biggest looser in the end.
