If NCC can successfully pull this off in court (even though I expect MTN to settle out-of-court), Maleke is about to become (if he isn't already) a multi-millionaire in possibly hundreds of millions of Naira.

The government tried for recovering at least 50% of the monies it gave out as loans and the anchors too for having the faith to repay some of the loans back.

However, I'd like to point out that the evil & destructive activities of some Fulani herdsmen, who grazed their cattle on some of these farmers' crops as well as flooding, contributed to the inability of some farmers to repay their loans (not ruling out other factors but these ones, I'm sure of).

Having said that, if the EFCC should beam small searchlight (doesn't have to be full) on Bank of Agriculture (the MD then, some directors of the bank as well as some of its bank officials), NIRSAL (the former MD at the time & current MD, officials in charge of disbursement & those who vet the loan applications) & some directors of CBN (there's a particular director but he has been transferred out to one arm of the CBN in Maitama by Cardoso), the skeletons they'll find ehn, it will be epic.

Don't you just love Nigerian politics? We'll see how all those who called Mal. El-rufai unprintable names will defend a joint ticket lf of both politicians; either ways, it's a mission DoA.

Don't be mistaken. Mal. El-rufai as Kaduna Governor brought innovation, development, FDI, vigor & responsible leadership to that position. He's probably (in terms of infrastructure & HCD) the best governor ever of that state & this is inspite the insecurity resulting in loss, destruction & psychological trauma of many lives under his tenure.

Pls house,,what kind of business can one do with 2.5m?

Buy fine parboiled, sorted and destoned Nigerian rice @ 60,000 resell for 65,000 or any other suitable price at your location.

Start with 35 bags (50kg). How quickly you're able to turnover the sale of these initial quantities will determine how quickly you'll be able to recoup your initial investment + profits.

PS: depending on your location, this could be risky considering how much hunger is in the land; make dem no go attack the truck wey dey convey your rice, loot am. Otherwise, this is one business you can start with that doesn't really require any technical knowhow.

PDP's closest chance to regaining Aso Rock is to field a formidable candidate from the southeast such as the former Anambra governor but even that has its own peculiar baggage.

The man has been tainted with harbouring a "church agenda" & he didn't help matters in the last general elections as he went from pulpit to pulpit urging "Christians to take back their country" or something to that effect. The "yes Daddy" leaked audio too didn't help his image.

If presented with the choice of the incumbent deadbeat & the former Anambra governor, it's no brainer that the North will rather chew stones & drink cow urine than vote for a Christian perceived to be beholden to certain influential men of God.

This is a clear consequence of see finish! The NPF has "reduced" itself in the eyes of these entertainers especially (deploying mopol or CTU officers to celebs to be doing mai guard or opening doors upanddown) that's why they're not respected and can be rubbished for doing their job.

No way the anti-doping unit isn't bringing in Omolara for drugs test after her brilliant performance; it's too good to be true so they'd want to check to ensure she's clean.

The race still makes my heart skip a beat each time I watch it. That should be the highlight of the entire AAG.

Whoever approved this ad should be flogged.

"When the world needed them....?" the fact Glo admitted their competitors were "needed" & had the "world" in their palm is an admission of defeat.

No one craves/has a need for something if it isn't good. The fact their brief absence had a "worldwide" effect speaks volumes about how important these competitors are.

"They broke your trust, they shouldn't be trusted again.... Your trust is safe with us, it can never be broken". And such other copy ads would've sufficed but hey, Glo most likely has some of the best copywriters on the continent/in the world at their beck and call.

Abi, wetin una think?

Meanwhile, Glo is trash! When real network providers are talking, that network should be outside manning the doors from intruders.

On Tuesday night in Accra, Ghana at the ongoing All African Games (AAG), the Nigerian mixed 4x400m relay team of Emmanuel Ojeli, Patience Okon-George, Sikiru Adeyemi and Omolara Ogunmakinju stormed to GOLD in sensational style with Omolara stealing the spotlight.

Ojeli set the race going for Nigeria and set the team up for a brilliant start, handing over the baton slightly in 2nd place behind Botswana to Patience Okon-George, who created a reasonable lead just 30 metres into her race; pushing Botswana to second place on the 2nd lap.

However, Sikiru Adeyemi found himself napping on the 3rd lap of the race as Botswana's Bayapo Ndori wasted no time regaining the lead and creating a distance of over 20 metres between himself and Adeyemi in the process.

All hopes looked lost for Nigeria after the pass of the baton for the last lap but Ogunmakinju put on a show, running what could be aptly described as the race of her life as she steadily and speedily closed the 20-metre deficit created in the 3rd lap with the just 30m to the finish line to bring the GOLD medal home in a time of 3:13.26!

With that thrilling performance, Nigeria shattered the African Record set by the Nigerian team that competed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Lol. It was & still is, too glaring that the NLC under Comrade Joe Ajaero has become a political tool for Ajaero's ulterior motives.

When it was said that the Ajaero-led NLC had become "political", many supporters of the LP presidential candidate in the last general election dismissed it but the chicken has come home to roost finally; the Labour Party has exposed the NLC President as having political interests.

Looks solid. Well done to Gov. Soludo. Meanwhile, aside Gov. Bago of Niger State, it appears the remaining northern states' governors have gone into sleep mode; not one of them is in the news for delivering any positive development project to their people.

I got dizzy from reading the extent of criminal stealing by the management & staff of REA.

It's a shame that inspite of the glaring evidences of monumental stealing uncovered by the EFCC, SIT, ONSA & ICPC, these officials - through their lawyers - will subject their trial to a lengthy period & if lucky, may get off the hook due to some "technicality" or lack of diligent prosecution.

These guys drove away their helper at the time & potential helpers with the sort of attitudes they put on & proudly showed off on social media.

It'll take some extra kind of grace for anyone to want to help them out now but hey, shebi they were said to be staying in Abuja (Utako precisely) after their alleged deportation back to Nigeria? They should find one garden/bar (Eden garden for e.g) that'll allow them showcase their "happie boyz" dance moves every weekend at least till they're able to stand on their feet again.

I like how you put it, overtly or covertly.

By playing neutral and refusing to endorse his successor, Buhari definitely supported Tinubu covertly.
Because Tinubu was the most powerful and richest contestant.

As usual Buhari again played his usual I don't care attitude. And that paved the way for Tinubu..

So anyone who comes here to say that Buhari did not support Tinubu is only playing themself for a foooool.

You get it? Again, anyone who thinks Buhari couldn't have forced his preferred candidate (if at all he'd any) on the party and damn the consequences is a dreamer and living in f00ls paradise; it's like most people still haven't come to the realization about the type of unchecked powers a Nigerian President (or even governor) wields.

Technocrats like Dr. Joe Abah will tell you for free that "after God, fear government" in the context of government, just insert Nigerian President!

Ajuri Ngelale may be a journalist with his sources but he should understand that there are certain reckless sweeping statements he shouldn't even whisper, much more utter loudly on national TV, as presidential spokesman. This his comment is one of such reckless sweeping statements.

Instead of him to advise his boss to focus on making Nigeria & Nigerians more secured especially from bandits, extremists & kidnappers ravaging the North, he chose to make a strong, yet wild allegation without any evidence backing it.

Just like Senate President Akpabio, Mr. Ngelale doesn't know how to control his mouth & I pray it doesn't put him on collision course with his employer one day because when push comes to shove, PBAT will drop him like a hot potato just to please his northern political backers.

One thing for sure is if PMB didn't support Tinubu (overtly or covertly), no way on God's green earth would he have emerged APC flag bearer for the presidential polls.

He may not have directed his powers towards Tinubu's emergence but the fact he allowed the party to provide a level playing field for all the aspirants at the time, went a long way in ensuring the eventual flagbearer won the presidential primaries.

One other significant thing the then President did (even though unlawful according to the electoral laws) that some PBAT's rabid supporters like Sam Omatseye won't acknowledge is on the day of the presidential elections - at his PU - Buhari showed his voting slip (indicating he thumbprinted APC) to voters (a subtle campaign even after close of campaigns) & this action was captured by news media & broadcasted; although Atiku ended up winning Katsina's votes, methinks that singular move swayed core Buhari's supporters in the North to vote APC.

Although you didn't state the location of your property, I'd suggest you go into rice milling. Get rice from any large farm close to you, get machines, hire people, dehusk these rice, parboil them, bag them and start selling.


You can also set up a palm oil processing mill too.

Immediately I saw the photo, rice milking was what came to mind. If he can overcome the challenge of sourcing paddy, that'd be a very lucrative business considering the size of the warehouse.

See the smug on his face. Until the sponsors behind the scenes of kidnapping, banditry, terrorism and associated vices are identified and made a scapegoat of, we'll keep running around in circles.

Kai, this is serious. Looks like that's a new dimension of terrorism we're going to be confronted with going forward now: destruction of critical public infrastructure. But then, doesn't the NSCDC have a special squad for protection of critical national infrastructure?

I can count up to 30 guys in my circle of friends & acquaintances that don't smoke; matter of fact, they've never had a stick of cigarette their entire lives.

What's more? They're responsible, working class & mostly married guys who are occasional/social drinkers, but despise smoking.

So, if she's finding it difficult seeing a guy who doesn't smoke, it means the problem is with her; her circle or those she hangs out with frequently, needs to change.

That's not to say that all smokers are irresponsible or bad (you'll still find very responsible and great guys among them).

Julius Abure is now damaged goods. He'll be tempted to want to say damaging things about his party's presidential flagbearer once he's removed but no one will believe him.

All rhetorics yet not the slightest indication that the people asking us to "endure" the current hardships are themselves enduring anything.

There's a way the leadership connects with the masses that reassures them (masses) that they're not alone & know what they're (leadership) doing to ameliorate the suffering but you see this one? Even their core supporters if they're being honest, are beginning to feel disappointed that the man they trusted, campaigned and voted for, appears to be overwhelmed and at a loss at how to make life better for the average Nigerian.

Unfortunately, kidnapping has become a low risk yet very lucrative venture under the APC led federal government.

More worrisome about this negative trend is the active involvement by policemen/or policemen in connivance with the kidnappers.

At this point, na all man for himself, God for us all.

See his nose and thick ponmo lips. When he's caught, either by police or any other person, they should first cut off a chunk of his nose, slice his lips, use a plier to pull off all his finger & toenails then castrate the id!ot.

He should be allowed to die a slow & painful de@th.

Oh! So, this is the "Denco" guy? Who listened to Brekete Family radio and TV this past Friday? I now see the subtle "endorsement" by the "Ordinary President".

Konquest:
Lol. Okay... I hear you loud and clear! Well indeed, there should be too much protein sources in there for a balanced diet. Meat and 3 eggs for one person except it was meant for him and his GF.

Moderation is the key just like you have stated.

All the best.

At highlighted, that's the word I was looking for. I really didn't have any problem with the fact he was eating tuwo or how the meal was presented.

Cheers to a great weekend.

Konquest:
Is there anything wrong with eating all kinds of tuwo with miyan ewedu, stew, three boiled eggs and beef combo OR is it just the fact that the OP used an bent old spoon and a stainless steel plate to eat on a plastic table that is repulsive to you?

I actually did state two issues: gluttony or social media validation. I don't have a problem if he ate from an earthen ware or used corrosive utensils.

That said, I found it weird (not repulsive) that a man took himself to his girlfriend's house, saw her fridge was stocked with eggs and all manner of goodies and when he decided to prepare something for both of them to eat (tuwo and soup), he added beef and 3 boiled eggs.

So, it's either he's a glutton or a NL attention seeker; the latter seems to be it

How former President Muhammadu Buhari kept Mohammed Bello as FCT Minister for 8 uninterrupted years will forever remain a mystery.

I bet if you scoured the entire internet for images of the immediate past minister inspecting any construction site, you won't find any; that's how useless he was.

Spot on!

Emefiele has no one to blame but himself.

You hit the nail on its head at bolded quotes. However, I still find it an irony that inspite the obvious near empty treasury, the PBAT-led FG is carrying on as if there's a secret slush fund somewhere; the government must as a matter of urgency, tighten its own belt and not be seen to be "lounging" while the majority of Nigerians are languishing in economic hardships.

TopBanter:
They were all in on it but have now cut Emefiele loose to take all the blame. He is the fall guy and deservedly so for allowing an exclusively Northern cabal, that froze out all influential Southerners, to use him as the tool of destruction of Nigeria. As simple as that. When some of us insisted that Buhari did not want Tinubu as President because of the monumental corruption and sleaze that will be revealed once his government is out of power, the usual suspects here, like the clownPrinceOfLagos and his many bigoted co-travelers, insisted that Buhari is an upright man who is trying to prevent “druggie” from coming to loot Nigeria’s coffers.

What exactly is there to loot now it has been shown that, under Buhari, everything lootable has been looted with Nigeria’s credit totally maxed out like a Platinum credit card Hushpuppi ‘slid’ on?

I can only apologize to GEJ. Now crystal clear the looting under him is toddlers play compared to the wholesale heist under Buhari that was mercilessly destructive and inhumanly wicked.

"...they overpowered us" coming from a police image maker.

During the gunfight which lasted several minutes, one of our fine officers succumbed to gsw due to the large number of the assailants. fixed.

Allow the reader to make of it what happened next not that you'll open your mouth "waaah" & say they were "overpowered".

LOL. Nigeria is one huge comedy central park. So, someone collected $6.2m "allegedly" under the auspices of Mr. Godwin Emefiele, yet, that person is unknown to the SGF & OSGF?

Also, official letters & signatures of the President & SGF were being forged at will solely to defraud the nation yet not one person has been sent to jail for these crimes & others?

Tuwo with miyan ewedu mixed with stew, beef and 3 eggs?

Nah man, can deal! Is this gluttony or social media validation or even both?
