I watched a video interview of Governor Hope Uzodinma arguing that Imo State has 7 major oil and gas companies operating in the state but none of them has their offices in the state. He said he invited them all and asked them to have offices in Imo that Imo is not just for raw material extraction.

He said the oil corporations complained about insecurity in the state. Hope argued that he has significantly calmed the situation. He also noted that the oil workers said there weren't 5-star hotels in the state. That's why he engaged Marriott International to rehabilitate Concorde Hotel.

For the very fist time, I was impressed with him.

I am not going to dispute your argument but I am going to disagree with the governor in terms of world class hotels,imo state stands out as the hotel capital of Nigeria,politicians will always give a reason to invest in unpopular projects.

You see how these agbado munching nitwits want to justify the hardship in Nigeria? They're showing you all these to let you know that suffering is not only in Nigeria

Imagine comparing themselves with countries you have more human and natural resources than. countries whom shortly after independence were running to Nigeria for succour and we were they big brothers and naira was running head to head with pounds and dollars.Our economy was thriving left for the period of military governance,only for APC government to come and ruin everything Nigeria ever worked for and set us some hundred years back.

Nigeria is better off than all the others in everything

Oga I didn't know that Nigeria is better than Cyprus,tell me something else.....funny 'lap dogs'!

sreamsense:
Where is better,secured and productive Biafra you have built that Nigerians can learn from to understand your hatred is really meant for progress? If we ask you now to tell us what Obi did far better as Anambra former governor that even some obidients now were abusing and insulting him then for poor performance, you will not be able to tell us than you just want Tinubu to leave. You even went ahead to romance El-rufai that you once tagged terrorist, herdsman, body bag etc just because of Tinubu/Buhari hatred.

You want Nigerians to allow you people to build better,secured and productive, but your template remains worse that no nigeria no sensible Nigerian will like to experiment. You generate least economically in Nigeria among your states and Tinubu is the same man that off the hook of insecurity and Monday Monday self-imprisonment you put yourselves. So, where is the template you want to borrow Nigeria instead of you guys to bend down and learn?

Exactly the reason Nigeria is going down the drain,elections does not count,competent Nigerians are not allowed to lead the nation and ethnic consideration is the reason Nigeria is now a laughing stock in the comity of Nations.A country so blessed but yet so poor.
This is a nation were you have supposedly educated youths whom are slaves to the ruling class and hopefully loves their chains.It is such a pity,we may never get it right as a nation.It is better they various regions are allowed to stay apart and develop at it's own pace.

helinues:
You people have been sowing bitterness and expected to reap love bah.

Dey play

You should be ashamed of yourself,you want to use reverse psychology on people whom already know the game.Never in the history of governance in Nigeria,that we have a government whom body language is completely in support of tribalism and bigotry.This is the first time in a long while that state actors come up publicly to sponsor or support things that divide this nation on ethnic line.
You think Nigerians are stupid,every other ethnic group is watching the tragic dance of shame on a national stage by some of your people whom are quick to forget that power is transient.
They spend scarce resources sponsoring Lap dogs to stay online and keep creating ethnic tension and bigotry with reckless abandon. There body language says it all,including targeted demolition,obvious marginalization in appointments,least or insignificant FG projects in certain region and you think the rest of Nigerians are dumb. Smell the coffee boy!

All these yooroba's vomiting nonsense,we wish that igbo leaders will keep quiet in the face of outright injustice,sponsored and orchestrated by both APC federal and state governments against ndigbo simply because someone lost an election in Lagos.
This is the first time without pretence that state actors are sponsoring tribalism and bigotry against a people.Moreover,when the Rago market was demolished both they Northern elders,notable northerners and Arewa consultative forum, questioned the motive and asked the Lagos state government to make sure they affected businesses are relocated and established. We never heard the government image makers or Yorubas complain but once they hear Igbos complain,that's when you know they are alive. You can't force a people to vote for you,when you have questionable character.

I dont even rate kwankwaso and his groups again,all his waiting for is for the corrupt APC govt to give him a good offer and then he joins them.It means he doesn't really have the interest of the masses but for self...I give up on him.
We all wish he was a formidable opposition but we are disappointed,the talakawas whom stands by him are disappointed!

FreeStuffsNG:
Chief Ozekhome was actually mentioned. I am surprised that saharareporters.com removed the name specifically mentioned by the AGF. Smh.

He will pontificate on Nigeria in a manner that will shock you when you read the kind of serious question the AGF raises on his conduct lambasted by the English Judge.


In the case Mr Fagbemi referenced on Monday, a judge of an English property tribunal, Ewan Paton, delivered a ruling on 11 September blocking an audacious move by Mr Ozekhome, a prominent Nigerian lawyer and SAN, to take ownership of a house in North London.

The judge said the case was built on a network of fraud, impersonation, and forged documents.

He found that Mr Ozekhome’s defence, supported by his son, amounted to a “contrived story… invented in an attempt to provide a plausible reason” for the transfer of the property to Mr Ozekhome in 2021.

While blocking Mr Ozekhome from taking over the property, the judge also struck out Mr Ozekhome’s adversary’s claims, describing them as an abuse of judicial process.

Mr Fagbemi said on Monday that the London case “stands out in recent memory” and “bears sadly” on the integrity of the Nigerian legal profession.

“It bears sadly on the high esteem and integrity that our noble profession commands as a sine qua non for our collective commitment and investment in the legal brand. I am referring to the recent decision (11th September 2025) of an English property tribunal, by Judge Ewan Paton.

“It will be remiss of me not to bring such an egregious development to the attention of my lords, in the hope that it is addressed frontally against the backdrop of the hallowed rules that guard and define the finest traditions by which our nobility should be measured,” he said.

As soon as he mentioned probing the activities of SANs,I knew it will end up as usuai,political witch hunting of percieved enemies of this government. These guys are so predictable!

This will not change the situation in Gaza,for the situation in Gaza to change,Hamas must disarm completely,release the remaining hostages and then the war will end.
Terrorism can not be rewarded,after which a two state solution with a militarized zone will be established.Any further provocation will be met with greater force. We all pray for peace,not just Gaza,Ukraine,Kwara,maidugari,middlebelt and all other troubled region of this world.

May her soul rest in perfect peace!one of the only reasonable news channels in Nigeria....indeed life is short and brutish in Nigeria.

So they are now waiting for Rooboy to be the next to be evicted...I have more important things to do than this

erad:
My own concern is where they got the numbers from, especially the number of churches that have been destroyed.

You think others dont keep records because we dont,record from Christian communities,from eye witnesses on ground,from NGO's,Red cross,from media houses,social media postings,satellite images,may be NEMA and other government records.

FuckYeyeMods:
No sensible Nigerian would even agree with this senseless claims.
Terrorist and Bandits have killed more Muslims than Christians in Nigeria.
On a daily basis, Bandits kill Muslims even in the Mosque

You are definitely dillusional,what did you just say,over the years,Boko haram intentionally almost wiped out the Christian areas of borno,from the days of Chibok community attacks to other Christian communities, down to some Christian parts of Adamawa and that's Boko haram.
Then Bandits whom earlier were on ethnic cleansing of the Christian middlebelt and some how was protected and tagged 'herdsmen vs farmers crisis',took over large numbers of Christian communities in Plateau,Kaduna south,parts of Nassarawa,Benue,parts of Kwara,Niger,Taraba,Adamawa etc and yet the woke western media turned a blind eye,for reasons best known to them.

Truer words have never been said...thanks to this voice of the voiceless! Thanks to Bill Maher!

Mirasteel:
If Israel wants the hostages back they would have agreed to ceasefire instead of bombing every buildings and people. Netanyahu wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza so that Israelis will take over Gaza.

Agree to ceasefire,on who's condition,ceasefire with a terrorist whom have said times without numbers that their wish is to wipe isreal from the face of the earth.
They only wanted a ceasefire because they are now on the receiving end and they wish for more time,to once again and as usual plan another terrorism against Isreal.
Netanyahu has made it clear,release the hostages without any condition and disarm,the war will stop that day,simple!
We must not reward evil!

If Hamas wanted the war to stop,they could have released the hostages they have and disarm but rather they remained recalcitrant and choosing to use civilians as shield,while seeking for cheap international sympathy. The truth is that they shouldn't have attacked Isreal on oct 27 and dancing allover Palestine of their victory. Newton 2nd law of motion 'for every action,there is equal and opposite reaction'.

I am so so impressed with the delivery of Natenyahu,I keep wondering how the woke international press expect Isreal to stop the onslaught against these terrorists,whom have refused to release the hostages in their custody and also refusing to disarm but rather preferring to dig tunnels in the midst of 'civilian polpulace'.
The war against terrorism must be fought and won and not half way. Natenyahu also addressed the Gaza populace through wired radio system all over Gaza and their cell phones were intelligently connected to Netanyahu's speech.I love it when he assured isreali hostages in Gaza,that this war will not end,until he gets the last hostage back to isreal.

He indirectly told us how Buhari ruined Nigerian economy and that it doesn't matter,in his argument,that politics of alliance should be considered first before the wellbeing of dying Nigerians,hungry Nigerians and poverty stricken Nigerians....what a shame,this is just the reason Nigeria may never get it right,the mentality of our political actors is annoyingly evil. My heart bleeds for Nigeria! Come 2027,by the grace of God we as a people are wiser.Enough of these evil cabals determining our future.

Lagos is now the burial ground of female politicians.It is obvious that the female folks are not able to play the dirty,wicked and 'winner takes it all' evil politics of Lagos. Though one or two deaths may be of natural causes but overall,some babalawo male politicians has made the politics dangerous for the innocent female folks.

This is no longer funny,where are we headed to as a nation?what is our priority as a nation?
It is now the new normal for this present government to act with reckless impunity,in the worst forms of corruption. Guess what,they know Nigerians are docile and cant do nothing.
Just wait for some misplaced Nigeria youths,whom I call 'slaves that loves their chains',to come and defend this absurdity and attack the messanger.
Nigeria,my heart bleeds!

Sometimes the 'lord of the manor' in Abuja,is quick to forget that no matter how powerful you think you are,a time and a season is coming when you will be faced with the consequences of your evil acts against humanity. You can deceive some of the people, some of the times but not all the peoples all the time. 'There is no peace for the wicked-bible!

These are they characters that demarket Nigeria,where is Abike Dabiri when you need her.
You see their ilks loitering everywhere in UK and other cities of the world without the intention of working hard for
money but looking for unsuspecting victims to scam! These people should be called out according to their tribe for who they are!

Way to go,I have always known that governor Mbah of Enugu and Otti of Abia state,are visionary governors whom can take their various states to an enviable height. They are square pegs in square holes!

That's why is very hard for anyone to assume that Lagos will ever join the rest of the world modern cities.I know that in other financial headquarters of other countries like New york,Johannesburg,London,Paris,Cairo etc you also have street gangs but the state invest much in taming and getting rid of them and making these great cities habitable but in Lagos,it seems they are even patronized and protected by the state. Nigeria can never get it right,if these touts in Lagos are aloud to roam around freely,messing up the state.Visitors from outside Nigeria will wonder if Lagos is a zoo.

Lagos is a crime scene,these touts run the state,they collect taxes from the masses,ranging from bus drivers,to truck drivers,to those building houses,at different stages of the building,to those moving loads from one point to the other,including taxing market people.
These Alaye's virtually run the state,they make millions hourly from innocent masses,through the collaboration of state actors,it is so lawless that it is now the way of life in Lagos.
thousands of touts whom are used during the usual flawed elections,are compensated by giving them free hand to run the street.Lagos indeed is the real definition of a 'banana republic'.Touts are giving free hands to run the street and one will be right to ask,is this the best way to employ these restless youths used during elections?this is a time bomb waiting to explode.

So sad bro,it is well,this is how a compassionate and responsible leader should act in times like this and not staying put in France or London holidaying while the people you lead are dying.

PulaPower:
The guy you mentioned didn’t mention any tribe, it somehow, based on how you was raised, you had to ignite tribe to make your statement..

So, based on your talk, which tribe is the dude you mentioned from, that’s never well to do?

Just the way he didn't mention any tribe,is the way I also didn't mention any tribe.
The problem is with your mindset,you have been programmed to feel challenged whenever anyone air an opinion that doesn't suit your screwed narratives.

God bless d Ghanians, I saw a video yesterday on twitter they weren't complaining about Nigeria but they were categorical n specific on who they are complaining about.

That's nice

At least other Nigerians won't b collateral damage

Your never do well tribe and jealousy,are 5 and 6.This is no news,if they contravene any law then they bear the consequences.
But I can assure you that those shops will eventually be opened for business when the pending issues are sorted out.
Even here in Nigeria,Lagos state has locked up markets severally and yet nobody die,infact Oluwa blessed Igbo businessmen with more money during those period..... as it dey sweet us,e dey pain dem!
We move on.

kingsavage:
Thank God they specifically mentioned the part of Nigeria he is from

...and that's very beautiful because we are proudly associated to this great son of ndigbo,may God in his gloriousness continue to guide and protect him as he gets to the top of his career.Amen!!!!!!!!
