The man and black face, who lament pass.

Which one be lament for inside, it's copyright infringement, how can you use someone's songs without his consent knowing fully that it's against the law.... Nigerians we take things for granted, try this rubbish for abroad you go pay through your nose. Let's call a spade a spade

DeLaRue:
It is not a personal property.

Future President's will use it.

A Nigerian President needs to be able to fly in a plane owned by Nigeria as and when needed.

People who say the prime ministers of some countries in Europe use commercial planes. Yes, but those countries airports and airlines are very well connected to other countries.

Nigeria airlines don't fly to many countries. I think Airpeace only flies to the UK.

So, what if Nigeria's President needs to travel to France, USA, Brazil etc? He should fly Air France, or United Airlines? What if those airlines are not available on the day he needs to fly?

Because the price of beans and garri is high, Nigeria should not buy an aeroplane? I disagree.

The Nigerian government can do both - buy the plane and continue to work to make life easier for citizens.

Keep defending nonsense, when they need something the money I always available but if it has to do with the masses Nigeria will become a poor country, check the budget and see the paltry sum invested in critical areas like education, health and agriculture then you will know that we have useless and selfish leaders

While it seems criticisms of the president are apt, certain facts must be cleared.

Presidential transportation worldwide is a serious security matter. In our case, air transport of the president is handled by the Nigerian Airforce. If the airforce says a jet is unfit to fly the president because it might have stayed in service longer than specified, hence a potential aviation threat, it is only fair that we listen to them. We do not need to like them.

Those suggesting that the president must fly commercial or use his personal vehicles (like Deji Adeyanju) are not aware of the potential security threats. A Nigerian head of state was assassinated in broad daylight in his official car, while another one was murdered for not taking their security serious.

The aircraft here does not belong to Tinubu. It belongs to the Federal Government. Once Tinubu leaves power, he won't take the jet with him. So those accusing Tinubu of purchasing a private jet for himself are being ludicrous.

Yesterday, Charly Boy lied that the president's official car, Cardilac Escalade is worth almost 1 billion naira. A simple internet search showed that the vehicle is about 250 million naira. Still expensive, why did Charly Boy have to lie? When Buhari exited power, he didn't leave with the Maybach. The vehicle was not his. The Cardilac does not belong to Tinubu. DSS handles his ground transportation. Why not question DSS for proposing that vehicle?

And for those who are just realizing, the Cardilac Escalade SUV had been in use since last year and sighted several times in the convoy, how come they are just seeing it? The vice president is driven in one of such vehicles. How come they have not seen it?

Anyway, Kenneth Okonkwo says people are dying of hunger and there is no fuel or electricity. It is not Tinubu's job to cultivate arable land nationwide. It is not Tinubu's job to provide buses to transport people within states. These are things state governors can easily undertake on their own, and even local governments. We have seen the Niger State governor buy such buses. Once the burden of transportation is removed, the issue of fuel price would not bother so many.

The fact is that the president is being blamed for policies, but all presidential candidates agreed that subsidy on petrol needed to be removed. Even the messianic pontiff said he'd remove it on day 1. Suddenly, Tinubu is being condemned for taking the decision to save us from economic doom. It didn't make sense that we were borrowing to pay subsidies. Also, the removal of the parallel trade of fx was to tackle the fx fraud that drained our resources.

This meant that increased allocation could be used for developmental purposes in the states. What do the state governors do instead? We find them doing Hajj subsidies and Ramadan feeding, purchasing vehicles for traditional rulers, buying wheelbarrows to turn their unemployed youth to mai-barrow in the markets, and stacking funds for elections they are not sure of living to partake in.

Dear governors, learn one basic thing: from what happened in Kano during the August riots, when people take to the streets, they'd target governors first and they can only move up the ladder once they have brought you down.

You still have time to work for your people and address the basic problems of food security and transportation within your state. We shall criticize the president for the things we must criticize him on.

Keep defending nonsense

DesChyko:
A social media user, Mallam Jabeer, took to social media platform to share the state of drinking water, as readily obtained in some areas of Yauri Local Government Area of Kebbi State.

Sharing the picture, Mallam Jabeer clarified that the water would have to be bought or families would not have access to water at all.

He went on to query the essence of the government reps if they can't provide potable water for the masses.



Credit: Mallam jabir

Social media users echoed his sentiments, a number of them were shocked, with some confirming that this was indeed true as they have spent time in that area of Kebbi State before now.

They should continue suffering, they only protest because power is not in the north, legislators were given cars Worth 160 million each yet the people they claim to represent don't even have portable water to drink... that water is not even healthy to bath or even wash clothes... this is what Peter obi keep hammering, the simple basic needs of the people are not even met but they prefer party and religion over competent and transparency

VikingKing:
Crude as the method is, people are trying to survive. If you go round Nigeria looking for a Saint before you can help, I bet you, you won't find a single one. So just do what you must and let their conscientious judge them. That way, you would've taught them a lesson they won't quickly forget. None of us is truly righteous.

Stop supporting nonsense, someone is trying to help but the people he wants to help are planning on ripping him and you are saying they are just trying to survive. That is called cheating and they are no different from Yahoo boys ripping people through fraudulent act...

There is no record of this man working or creating any product in all of his life or running any profitable company in or outside of Nigeria before entering into politics. Dino is a career politician.

Who told you that, Dino has businesses...am not a fan of politicians but some have companies that lobby for contract from the government and so on

https://dailypost.ng/2024/08/13/fg-targets-generation-of-6000-megawatts-power-before-2025-minister/

Very shameful country, a country of over 200 million people battling with 3-4k megawatts of electricity when countries like South Africa generates more than 50k megawatts, Egypt generates more than 40k megawatts and their population is far less than ours and we are still struggling to even generate 4k megawatts despite billions of dollars spent on the power sector

9jatriot:
I have heard some folks say Reino does not have a job that is why he always has time to be attacking Obi but the guy here that wanted to be president, I am not sure what to say about his job status either because he seems to only attend parties and major in minor issues.

How many family members wen de quarrel he go fit visit? There are many families where siblings do not see eye to eye, is he now going to request for a list of them and start visiting all of them?

If this guy had somehow managed to be president, he would have spent more time trying to keep up appearances than actually facing real issues.

You claim he doesn't have a job but he is a well made billionaire even before he became governor and his track record of good governance is there for all to see, go and verify... you that have a job how many million do you have in your account to start with.

RepoMan007:
how many brits are coming here? The few diplomats will be taken care of or go through Benin republic. Expatriates will ask you land them inside Aso Rock and you must obey because you need to to breathe their intellect upon your cocoa yam economy.

You don't know what you are saying, do you know the billions of dollars those flights are generating for their country, this is business and if Nigeria reciprocate by denying them slot they will come begging because there are other airlines that can be used to travel to the UK, Turkish airlines, Ethiopian airlines among so many, na them go lose so forget all this plenty talk. There are leaders even in Nigeria that don't want air peace to progress because they see them as a threat

DamnnNiggarr:
Peter Obi

Obi said nothing but the truth, every sector of Nigeria is so corrupt, the system needs total overhauling, this corruption in our sports from football to athletics is full of corrupt leaders at the helm of affairs who takes bribe and pick those who are not competent enough to represent Nigeria...take a look at that Nigeria coach sanusi who was taking bribe to feature players, that's just one among many...
Corruption everywhere. This is what OBJ was saying earlier that most Nigeria leaders is supposed to be in prison on executed, I can bet that they didn't even spend half of that money on the athlete but on their self....what a shame

Na ipob our security agencies dey rise shoulder, but this herdsmen are having a field day killing innocent farmers and none of them have been brought to the book.
The police will turn a blind eye but if the reverse is the case they would have arrested any farmer they see... Nigeria is a country

Her mum stole someone else’s identity! court found out and she was disqualify! Use your senses,blame her criminal mum!

You use your sense, the question is was she born in South Africa or not, irrespective of her mum's crime, she is a dual citizen period... such will not even happen in Europe or American not to talk of an African country...as we all know South Africa especially hate Nigerians with passion

EreluRoz:
I don't think Nigerians will allow citizens of other countries to be crowned miss Nigeria so they should end this talk already.

But after all the noise they crowned a whitie. Nelson Mandela must be proud of them

Chidinma is a South African by birth irrespective of where her parents from....

To tell you how useless NFF is and how corrupt they are, they want to hire a coach who lost seven games in a row to lead the super eagles all because he is white but they were quick to fire finidi because he is black. All I see is inferiority complex and like I said sacking finidi was hasty and a wrong move

Chinkoalhaji34:
Why are we always quick to point fingers?

Obasanjo should remember that the issues with fuel subsidy didn't start today. Tinubu is trying to navigate through a maze of challenges left behind by previous administrations.

Instead of casting blame, let’s support the efforts to find a sustainable solution. We need to look at the bigger picture and give room for progress, no matter how slow it may seem.

What’s important is that we keep pushing for better policies and hold the government accountable, not just criticize from the sidelines.

Tinubu is reaping what he showed, he was among the people that fought Jonathan when he removed subsidy so he should face the music

BlindAngel:
Good afternoon Nairalanders, my wife gave birth last week which was Saturday July 13th, that day was also my birthday, she gave birth through CS, this is our first child, and it's a boy.


This week Saturday is our baby's naming ceremony but my wife is insisting that her pastor must be the one officiate the naming the child, we've been disagreeing over this for some couple of days now,

she has called me all sorts of names, insulted me that I'm a very wicked man that I have no conscience, that after she pain and tearing she went through and still going through, I can't make this as a sacrifice for her, that I choose my family over her. She said so because my family also insist too that the naming must be done by our pastor.

But she's keying on the fact that she won't agree for the naming to be done in my church that it must be done by her pastor, she has cried and insulted me regarding this. Yesterday when we were arguing about this same particular issue she starting crying endlessly and calling me a wicked man.

I have finally agreed for her to use her pastor to do the naming, although I don't know her pastor and haven't seen him before, but I only agreed because of the CS operation she did while giving birth, her endless crying might affect her, if not there's absolutely no way possible I'd have agreed.

I must say that she doesn't know the repercussions of what sha has done by challenging my authority and always wanting to have her way with tears all the time. But time sha tell, I'm in so much rage right now, and I'm trying my possible best to control myself and not to loose my anger over this.

This is why it's not wise for couples to attend separate church... this issue should have been sorted out before getting married to avoid all the drama

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Supported. You have many Africans born to African parents representing the colonizers.

Imagine if Messi played for Spain instead of Argentina.
If they don't like the song🎵, these players should show more patriotism and represent their fatherland.

Imagine the likes of Musiala, Adeyemi, Saka, Eze in the super eagle.
I don't want to talk about how Saka and Sancho were all racially abused after England lost against Italy in the Euro

I think you are very wrong with this your statement, all the players you quoted with Nigeria descent were born and train in England which makes it right for them to represent those countries if they choose to...the black players in the French team were born and bred in France so why would they not represent France that gave them and their parents everything...the problem with we Africans is that we don't like to invest on our own but waiting for already made players Born and bred in Europe to come represent our national team in sports which is very bad.

In Nigeria you can't stay a week without talking about Tinubu or Wike.

Because of nairaland that's why you think he is the most popular
