This government wants to strangulate the already choking Nigerian masses.What a pity,when you elect leaders without compassion and all they ever thinks of,is self,more money,more affluence,more power.
You imagine the speed at which they increase petroleum prices,electricity tariffs,even the telecom sector is not left out.But it took several months discussing the peanuts added for workers as minimum wage and also took several months to implement it,even till date some states have not started paying it.
When I look at the sufferings of the ordinary Nigerians,my heart bleeds!
They succeeded in wiping off the middle class,is either you are rich or have fallen down below the poverty line and this is intentional,so that they can control the masses with just a mudu of rice.It is that bad!!!!

CountinBlessins:
Another human rituals practicing descent of the cursed tribe named Yoruba chest beating just like the Akpu munchers

Why do you two tribes like to cheat beat on nothing ? If they x-ray your life now you are EA failure whose only claim success is tribe. Beast

Savage response!

This clown will never seize to amaze me,you think all politicians are there for their stomach,there is what is called principle!
If Tinubu has fallen short of the standard expected of a president,of which he has,why would Aregbesola go and prostrate for him?
Nonsense,is he God!it is better he stays out of this calamitous government,so that when history of this tragic government is being told his name won't be among.

Obviously as igbos it is our duty to copy every known international body and human rights organisations on the level of impunity going on.We must not allow this to be swept under the carpet.

ImoleNaija:
In short, you're being marginalized by NL.

We will always deflect your bloated ego and burst your lies,the days of Lagos-Ibadan parapo media propaganda is long over,thanks to the social media,just one tap,the whole world hears the truth.

Kilometres:
There are certain tribes that will not promote Nigeria with their achievements. Do you expect Nigerians to promote them?

Have you ever seen a certain tribe use Nigerian flag or green white green when they achieve something big in diaspora?

Like kemi Badenoch...the joke is on you!

Afolue:
yoruba and academics are 5&6

No tribe can beat the Yorubas in academic challenge

If you claim to be too learned, you will meet them as your lecturers…

Guy keep quiet,nairaland is only trying hard to change the narratives,see the number of thread of great achievements of other Nigerians,especially igbos in diaspora which nairaland MOD never ever allows it to make front page,we all understand the game.

Congratulations....but it seems nairaland MOD chooses news of achievements of Nigerians in diaspora of certain ethnic group over others,to be placed on front page.
Earlier today there was a thread of Nigerian lady whom became the first Nigerian woman to attain the rank of a Brigadier General in the US army but it was ignored because it didn't suit nairaland agenda...there are several others like that,I rest my case.

He plans to open branches in 'Abuja and Lagos'....how about Akulouno!!! I rest my case.
Congrats!

Such a bad news...RIP to the dead.

callthefred:
The Aliko Dangote University is not owned by Dangote but the govt.

That's not what he is saying,he is rather talking of the burial Reno made reference to.

AMINDA:
I know they say Tinubu is a Master Strategist but from a practical point of view, I'm struggling to understand what APC thinks they stand to gain from incorporating the likes of Reno and Bwala into its fold. You ostracise political juggernauts like Elrufai who worked so hard for the party in favour of lightweights who have no base and can't even deliver their nuclear families.

From a strategic point of view, Reno and Bwala's messages are not resonating with anyone. Their messages can not convince any new voter in the North, neither is it winning over any obidient. The optics is also generally bad for the APC. Having such disloyal and fickle-minded individuals in the party lends credence to the grievance of some that the party has strayed from its original ideals. Their messages can also be easily neutralized by a simple screenshot of their previous posts about the President and the party. Take a look at the comments under Reno's posts on his handles and all you see supporting him are individuals from the Southwest only. These people would have still voted Tinubu, regardless of what he does.

So I ask again, what is the net gain of bringing them onboard? Is it that Tinubu could not afford to have them openly insulting him on social media? He already survived them in 2023. What more could they have done? Buhari paid no mind to their likes and he completed his two tenures. Rather, bringing them aboard have costed APC some loyal voters.

Better words have never been used...you hit it on the head.

Congrats to Ada dioranma,a woman of substance,a great achiever,we are all proud of you...keep the light shinning.

'Cities like Benin City, the state capital, have witnessed recurring gang wars between well-known cult groups such as the , Eiye Confraternity, Vikings, and others. These clashes often escalate during political campaigns, as some politicians are accused of using cult members as enforcers or to intimidate opponents'.
For Frank Itua,the chief press secretary not to first of all mention the Black A*e in his example,gives room to suspicion,bearing in mind they are in the centre of most cult clashes in Benin and headquartered in Benin city.
Just thinking aloud!
Whatever can be done to end this madness of cultism,must be done quickly!

Banana Republic!

Reno ended up saying nothing....it just seems Reno is speedily retrogressing mentally. Just an observation.

Why is APC acting as if they are in the opposition when it comes to any matter relating to Obi or is there something they are not telling us......they seem to know they real winner of the last flawed elections.If you bury truth,it doesn't die rather it sprouts and grow.
Surely they have a date with posterity!!!

The boogey man is by the corner,the south west most likely will be the next theatre of religious war in Nigeria.Let them keep forming woke while there backyard is on fire.

Woah! thankGod for safe landing.Nigeria would have been in the news for the wrong reasons,remember in those days when Kemas Chikwes to Borishade as ministers of aviation,we had series of air crashes that startled the nation.we remember bell view airline,sosoliso airline and ADC airlines which all crashed at that time.
My heart still goes out to them.

The problem with Nigeria is not with our existing laws but its implementation.Is still not going to be easy to prosecute some of these so called cultist,we have to define who a cultist is and the last time I checked,some of these pseudo fraternities has gone legit.They are now registered with the CAC using acronyms that hides the very intention.
Well the Edo government is going to have his hands full and especially in a state notorious for being the headquarters of a particular 'cult' group.
My regards to an old friend/foe Tony kabaka,are you there?

Okay nice one,I just want to know the 20 states where these houses are being built and the number each state got...I just want to check something.

Lazy youths,what else！if they are not Agbero,they are political touts,Omonile,Yahoo +/ritualist or at best,they are online spreading hate or tribal bigotry...who did this to these youths.My heart weeps！
While they children of the politicians that are using them are busy bagging degrees from ivy league universities and preparing them to come and continue ruling these nitwits and the circle of poverty continues.

Shameless Nigerian politicians,Wike sponsored this,sponsored that,where did he get the money from？Its only in Nigeria that thieving politicians are celebrated.I spit！！！

membranus:
When the Igbos were dishing it out to Buhari during his reign, calling him all sorts of name, including Jubril Elsudan, because of MNK, you were busy shining teeth, enjoying it, because the few Hausas on this platform were not replying your people.

But when your people dare try it out with the Yorubas because of your failed presidential candidate Obi, they met a more internet suave and belligerent group, who give it out to you Igbos fire for fire on every social media platforms. Now that the fire is raging hot against your people, you are now crying murder.

So, stop whining, your people started it.

Clap for yourself,local champion！your mates elsewhere are using the internet to bring in great innovations but as the aare kakanfo of Yoruba land,you waste your youthfulness online fighting a tribal war.You will wake one morning and found out that they world has since left you behind.As usual,you always try to gaslight others but thats stall,your people started this useless hatred and abuse of others,we all remembered how yorubas online and including your elites where calling goodluck Jonathan and wife all sorts of unprintable names,need i remind you,your elites that behaves like miscreants called her'shippopotamus' and your leaders carried a coffin of a president round Lagos.
You guys are unfortunate beings,whatever they dish out to your tribe and leaders,know that you people brought it upon yourselves and upon Nigeria. Slippery and treacherous people.

I hope Ayes dont have a hand in this...if you know,you know！

Inspite of its limitations,its way more organized,beautiful and livable then all south west states except Lagos the former capital of Nigeria.
The case of Oyo in particular,needs complete demolition and start building from the scratch.The number of slums in Oyo is scary,both federal and state government needs to intervene.

Good to hear this!

I remember seeing this sticker in an old man's house.
'Separation or divorce whatever you call it,just forget about it'!

helinues:
No government presence yet your state governors have been collecting monthly oyel money.

When would you people ever take responsibility for your actions bayi

Olodo,he said federal presence！Tinubu is now awarding contracts up and down with our national patrimony in south west,tomorrow you will claim it.

MadamExcellency:
All my invoices from Unilever, P&G and other companies are VATed in Lagos State, Southwest or the location of the manufacturing company while the consumption is done in Southeast. That's an abrasion but for the ignoramuses, they don't know what's coming at them after the passage of the TAX bills.

There is high level of ignorance in Nigeria...even those who should know are pretending.Shebi make dem carryout these reforms and see who laughs last.I wonder what they are waiting for？
