Emergency lovers of Niger Republic. When then President Buhari was taking the hit left, right & centre over the economic sense in constructing a multi-million dollar SRG to Maradi, Niger Republic, none of these northern elites -speaking out now against the ECOWAS decision to use military force if necessary, to restore constitutional order - found it expedient to remind critiques of the project of the very long historical and cultural relationship between northerners & their Niger neighbors.

Anyways, no one wishes for ECOWAS to make good its threat to use military force in Niger Republic but if push comes to shove & they do, Nigeria will contribute boots & hardware to a regional contingent & worse that'll happen for President Tinubu is that he'll lose northern votes massively come 2027 (or isn't that what most of the latter day lovers of Niger want anymore?) while the North bears the additional brunt of infux of refugees from Niger (after all, didn't they say Nigeriens are their brothers? It would be time then to show brotherly love by accommodating their Nigerien cousins).
A win-win situation for all. Abeg, make nobody just quote me... I no fit explain wetin mesef write.
Thanks in advance.

Lol. Is this "renewed hope" or renewed corruption pro max. What concerns using tax payers funds to reconstruct guest houses/palaces for traditional rulers? If the KDSG doesn't care enough to refurbish/reconstruct the guest house & palaces of its several "Hakimis", why should the FG be saddled with that responsibility?

Happy New Year

Hello, I reckon you're not "active" on this particular thread for a while now but if you could recommend a reliable & experienced Range Rover (2005) mechanic in Abuja, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

sooperrescue:
Hahaha 😅😂😂. This Lion is using the grass to shave his Bier Bier.

Hello Sooper, are you in Abuja please? My in-law has a 2005 Range Rover (upgraded to 2012, I think?) that's recently being giving him over heating issues.
Changed top gasket two weeks ago & that's also "burnt" now & he's at his wits end about what to do; the vehicle can be okay one moment (moves smoothly, no overheat) & the next moment, the transmission isn't responding then overheats and you've to park it.

Nigeria is literally one massive crime scene; you can't even begin to fathom the depth of the crimes committed.

I don't know how a vote for Dino is a "vote for suicide" however, if a dancing Senator now a dancing governor (a man many including myself, considered a joke of a politician) could be making a difference in Osun, it may just be that Dino who's renowned for his flamboyant displays of wealth, may also make a difference in the lives of Kogites.
Moreover, what are the antecedents of the man GYB is propping as his successor?

Tareq1105:
If you shut your eyes bcoz you don't want to see bad people, you might not know when good person would pass too.

Yes, Yaya Bello shouldn't have done what he did. However, would you now go on a suicide mission bcoz of that? Bcoz a vote for Dino is a vote for suicide.

I want SDM to win not only for the fact that I'm Okun just like him but so that GYB will learn that what's sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

For years, Okun & Ebiras complained bitterly about the politics of subjugation the Igala elite were playing in Kogi yet when an Ebira (Yahaya Bello) got to Govt House, served two terms & on the verge of leaving office, wants a fellow Ebira to succeed him; same thing the Igalas were doing.

Anyways, the Kogi voters will decide their fate come November & I hope they choose Dino as their next governor.

Very good marketing/publicity strategy there by Jumia Foods (I presume).

Zero scruples, anywhere belle face politicians.

Showunmi is crying more than the bereaved. The Igbo people (exception of their political elite) have never looked up to government - especially at the centre - for help; they've throughout our history thrived successfully whether they receive a large, small or no patronage at all from successive governments.

And to these particular appointments by PBAT, I haven't read or seen anywhere the Igbos themselves complained about it (maybe they did & I missed it) so Showunmi should stop playing devil's advocate.

All eyes on the judiciary is an indirect way of telling the PEPT judges to declare the 3rd placed presidential candidate winner; a sublime threat that won't work!

Akpabio's major problem is that he talks too much; maybe it's a good thing especially as there has been a lot of secrecy around the many allowances & "enjoyment tokens" earned by federal lawmakers.

This MURIC man is an embarrassment to the age-long omoluabi principles.

This is the summary of her BR interview. Girl seems to have a personality disorder with a sprinkle of Messianic complex.

naptu2:
She is very talented, but she also has behaviour problems. She has fought with everybody.

She claims that the Australian players don't like her and that the Australian team is racist.

She went to the US (WNBA) and basically insulted the team that drafted her (Tulsa Shock). She implied that the team was too small for her.

She moved to Asia, but eventually returned to the US to play for the Los Angeles Sparks. She complained that the other players were not passing the ball to her. She said that she's the star of the team and they brought her to carry the team, so they need to pass the ball to her more.

She claimed that the team promised to buy her a G-Wagon, but they didn't. Her contract was eventually cancelled.

She elbowed a Nigerian player, slapped another Nigerian player and called the Nigerians monkeys and said that they should go back to their third world country.

But she also believes that others are to blame for her problems.


Basketball is a team sport and she's not a team player. We don't need her because she'll cause problems in the locker room.

Lol. Like I said when the news first made fp yesterday on NL, anyone who watched the lengthy interview could tell from a mile off that she lied about Nigeria wanting her to play for D'Tigress.
These explanations should put all her false claims to rest once and for all.

Ok, so I watched this interview up to the point where the talk about the incident with the Nigerian female BB team came up & these are my observations:
1. Liz is a sweet girl. I like how she's honest, open & confident about her views.
2. She's definitely not one to shy away from taking bold decisions about her life.
3. Oh! She likes money (who doesn't anyways?).
4. She's a diva who knows her worth!
5. She blames everyone else but herself for her predicaments. Every other team mate, opponent, coach, journalist or sports team owner just don't like her for no reason.
6. She has other money spinning ventures (you can even say BB is her hobby); who remembers this phrase from "Everybody Hates Chris": "...My husband has two jobs, I don't need this". Lol.
7. She lied sha when she said Nigeria needs her to switch allegiance from Australia (if you actually watched that part of the interview, you could easily tell.)
8. Drama follows her everywhere. You can call her a drama queen.

Atiku always doing too much; who asked him if he skipped his breakfast or not? It mustn't always be about Atiku Abubakar, you know.

Lol. We're one huge joke of a country walahi. How people - supposedly educated, exposed & in the political arena - would easily procure obviously fake certificates & parade them as a part of their educational accomplishments will never cease to amaze me.

It's left for the President (who now appears to have been bitten by the Aso Rock bug that makes leaders deaf & dumb to public outcry) to do the needful by withdrawing the nomination of his son in-law.

Methinks it's also proper to attach the DSS findings to each ministerial nominees' name when they're being sent to the Senate for screening because all these scandals are an indictment on the service.

Nigerian politics is a very dirty game; the dirtier you are, the higher your chances of being more powerful.

APC!!
Gandollar!!

Gandollar!!
Renewed shege!!

***MODIFIED***

Will APC chieftains eventually get fed up & just remain indifferent to whatever happens in the party? Because this type of politics - where Tinubu gets what Tinubu wants every time irrespective of how any other person feels - has an expiration date.
He wanted his choice as Senate President and Speaker HoR and he got both by badgering his anointed candidates' opponents to submission and those who didn't submit, suffered & still suffering humiliation.
He wanted Ganduje as National Chairman and even though there were initial pockets of dissent within the party of his choice, everyone soon submitted to his wish.
This type of politics may've worked to his favor in Lagos State but at the national level? I doubt it will in the long run.

That'll also mean he's "unfair" to Bayo Onanuga, Fashola, FFK, Magnus Abe, Binani, etc. Thing is, not everyone will get a cabinet appointment but there are still other positions such as ambassadorial postings & chairmanship of very "juicy" boards that haven't been announced yet. Besides, patience is the name of the game; if e no reach you today, e fit reach you tomorrow or make e no even reach you at all sef.

Couldntfigurean:
No evidence
You go explain tire
So he built just these but you guys say he built Lagos,is these the whole Lagos?

Keep shifting the goal post. You asked for one road or bridge then I named several roads.

But that's even by the way; whether he built Lagos or not, he's the President of Nigeria today and there's nothing you or your ilks can do about it!

End!

Couldntfigurean:
Mention the bridges or road built by your Ashitwaju in Lagos
He was the worse to ever govern an already built Lagos,some of you won’t know because you were not born them

Kudirat Abiola Road, Oregun was dualised by Tinubu admin as Lagos gov. Over two decades later, the road still stands strong without porthole.

He also constructed/dualized & modernized Awolowo Road, Ikoyi; Akin Adesola Road, Victoria Island; Adeolu Odeku Road, Victoria Island; Agege Motor Road; Ikotun-Igando Road; Yaba-Itire-Lawanson-Ojuelegba Road; LASU-Iba Road, Ojo; Ajah-Badore Road, Eti-Osa; Oba Sekumade Road, Ikorodu; Adetokunbo Ademola Road, among others.

How about the transformation of Ahmadu Bello Way (only someone with amnesia will forget how the bar beach used to flood that area with the FG literally pumping billions worth of sand every year into the sea all to no avail) or how the entire stretch of Ozumba Mbadiwe used to look before he became governor?

Man isn't a saint or even close to being perfect but to suggest that he didn't build a single road is a lie taken too far.

Exactly! People digging up old tweets like Archaeologists excavating fossils are just wasting their time; it's all about interests.

Okealaaye:
There's no permanent foes in politics. Didn't FFK call Tinubu names? Didn't Peter Obi swear by the grave of his father's that he would never leave APGA? Abeg, release the past

Only political neophytes don't know that in politics, there are no permanent friends nor enemies, only permanent interests.
Besides, it's evident from some of his appointments that Tinubu doesn't really take to heart what people said about him in the past; his SA on Social Media, Segun Dada in the past tweeted worst things about Asiwaju but today, they're working together. That's the kind of person he is; a man who doesn't judge people by their past indiscretions long as they have something to offer.

Except privately controlled buildings such as malls, plazas, supermarkets etc that have elevators/lifts, I generally make it a rule not to use the lifts existing in public buildings coz most of them are just disasters waiting to happen. It's unfortunate the young house doctor was said to be on 10th floor & was only coming down to receive food she'd ordered for when the tragic incident occurred.
May her soul RIP & woe betides anyone who attempts to sweep this particular matter under the already saturated rug.

My best guess would be that he's looking to contest the governorship primaries of the LP in Edo State.
Long term scenario would be contesting as a NASS candidate for the LP in Edo come 2027.

Interesting.

MT:
No.

Even if they confirm you are qualified, that visa might not be issued. Ask me why?

Go and read travel advisories of all the western Nations. It is either level 3 or level 4. Level 3 advises their citizens to only travel to Nigeria on ESSENTIAL travel while level 4 states that their citizens SHOULD NOT TRAVEL to Nigeria

This means that if you get to your destination country, despite having ties in Nigeria, you can apply for asylum and it will be valid since they know the danger in going back to Nigeria. No Nigerians have control over that in as much as we continue killing, kidnapping etc.

Western nations do not want unnecessary bagggages as they are facing their own economic downturn.

Lol. That's just the summary of the entire rejection letter.
They were politely telling the applicant they didn't consider them established enough in Nigeria to grant them a Visa.

inoki247:
Lol....


They're telling him his too poor to go develop the country after arranging documents full of lies...


I look at people that jus look for agent nd arrange Document for dem to leave the country is easy for someone who's made and have real evidence of wealth to leave this country....


Na why I dey always say na Northerner get evidence to leave the country pass imagine someone having 50acres of farm Land, Someone with 500cow applying for Visa dey know he has something at home he can't just leave like that...

That's why they're never desperate Abt leaving the country...

I think this refusal has more to do with how some Nigerians have bastardized, tainted & subverted at every turn the processes for Visa applications.
Yes, the insecurity situation and socio-economic problems are largely a leadership problem, the forgery of documents, padding of bank statements etc on the other hand, are an individual problem.
The takeaway for me from the rejection letter is that anyone who's seeking a Schengen Visa or Visa to any other country of their choice should take note of the points listed therein & ensure they provide genuine, solid and incontrovertible evidences of their grounded establishment in Nigeria before applying.

kokoA:
Hehe.. Atiku sucks at politics honestly.

After all is said and done, that's just the underlying cause of his loss at the 2023 presidential elections.

That buildup to that particular elections exposed AA as an overrated politician. He always seemed to be a Maverick before now because he never encountered a major opponent but when he became confronted with not just one but two, three solid (Kwankwaso, PO, ABAT, Wike & co.) opposition? Man crumbled like a pack of cards.

"Whatsoever a man sows, he shall reap". Atiku, Saraki, Tambuwal, Amaechi, Kwankwaso et al sowed betrayal, propaganda, back stabbing, greed etc. in 2015 all in a bid to disgrace & send the then President (their fellow PDP member & leader at the time) packing from Aso Rock.
The seat of power they all ganged up to send the former occupier packing will therefore forever elude them; at each step they think they're a step closer to entering the Presidential Villa, betrayers, back stabbers & greedy mfers will arise to pose a stumbling block on their way.
Personally, I'm glad to be witnessing this moment.
