The man who brought Barthlomew Ogbeche to national spotlight

May his soul RIP

Yes o! Ogbeche and one other not too popular striker ( I forgot his name) really shone in Saudi Confederation Cup 1995

193 Million for Content acquisition? Can you even acquire 3 moderate talent level shows with that? This is not 1980 when actors were paid N500 o.

Why must Iran now focus it's attack on fellow Islamic nations ?
Destroying Dubai has no effect on USA.
Trump will ensure he achieved his purpose on Iran.
UAE has been a peaceful tourist nation. It's destruction,tho will indirectly affect so many other countries. But that won't save Iran from been cleared of its terrorist activities.

Actually it will. If the economies of Middle Eastern nations are affected, so will that of the US.

Its like your opponent is a very strong man who lives far from you and you cant approach him before his guards deal with you.

But his children and businesses live in the same street as you. By attacking them, you are attacking the strong man.

If Arab oil flow is disrupted, the entire world will feel it. Remember 1973 and 1990.

When REMI TINUBU went to USA she had wanted to align with this woman and do their normal photo ops and Meliana Trump refused adamantly.

We were told that Meliana Trump said she can't Stand with a BIGOT..and a woman that LIES brazenly with the name of the church. More was said but I will keep it on the LOW for now...

FreeStuffsNG...I hope you know that Nairaland is not PM NEWS of fake Journalists.

Where did you hear this?

Are there any pictures or videos of her trip to the US. Surprisingly I haven't seen any here.

I know what you mean but did you see what Fashola believed in? Institutions vs persons. For Fashola to receive a call means that his commissioners are not in charge. Of course most of those calls will go unanswered but what he did put his workers on their toes. People were afraid of Fashola because you could report them. That's what that action did.

Definitely that was a good move by Fashola.

I asked AI to help me summarize what Fashola did back then.

Fashola’s approach to direct communication was most famously demonstrated during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State through his public release of a personal mobile number, 0803 430 1122, which he encouraged citizens to use for reporting issues and providing feedback. In a well-documented interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Fashola explained that he intentionally made his number public because he viewed the people as his employers and felt it was necessary to be accessible to their complaints regarding public services.

He often recounted how he would personally read SMS messages from residents reporting broken pipes, potholes, or corrupt officials, sometimes forwarding these messages directly to the relevant commissioners for immediate action.


Another significant source of this policy was seen during his 2900th-day-in-office address, where he highlighted that his accessibility was a deliberate tool for "citizen-driven governance." He argued that the office of the Governor should not be a fortress, and by allowing people to reach him, he could bypass bureaucratic bottlenecks to see the real state of the city through the eyes of its inhabitants. This was further reinforced during his "Time Out with Fashola" sessions and town hall meetings, where he frequently reminded the audience that his lines were open, though he often preferred SMS to voice calls to ensure he had a written record of the complaint to track.


Furthermore, when Fashola transitioned to the federal level as a Minister, he reiterated this philosophy during various press briefings and social media posts on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account. He argued that public officials should not be "deities" and that the act of sharing a contact number was a symbol of the social contract between the leader and the led. Unlike the more distant or formal approaches seen in other political contexts, Fashola’s stance was that a leader’s accessibility is a fundamental requirement for building trust and ensuring that the government remains responsive to the actual needs of the community

Obi was also reported to do something like this and told people to call him. I remember El Rufai too. I will ask AI to help me summarize it because the Rascals we are having in power don't know that it is PUBLIC SERVICE AND THEY Are PUBLIC SERVANTS. They behave like emperors because we let them to do this to us. There was a time they all wanted to be SERVANT GOVERNORS because of Yar'Adua. The Governors should know what to do and not wait for the President to copy from but this statement alone is enough to send him away from office if I voted. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

This was Oshiomole at the Senate, thinking just because he was a Governor, he had more privilege than his mates.

A Governor should be 100% accessible. But A Governor who is really doing his job CANNOT be randomly picking phone calls.
Of course the way this Governor responded definitely fits your description of them being Emperor.

Even me a business owner knows how much productive time is consumed by picking phone calls. There was a time I was on the phone from morning to night responding to customer messages, it was madness; I got no real work done and even made customers complain; same customers i was trying to please o.

I had to over time adequately train specific staff to properly attend to the customers who were always demanding to talk to only me.

Why will a Governor be picking anyone's phone calls? It makes no sense. Except for his family, the President and few leaders like the Party leaders and fellow Governors

That's why he has Assistants and Aides.

The moment you are Governor, anyone and everyone that needs to see you books a physical appointment and hopes to maybe see you, phone call is not an option. Most people don't need to physically see the Governor, thats why he or she has hundreds of people working for or with him that can attend to people: Commissioner, Special Assistants, Civil Servants etc.

Although very hard to defend most Nigerian leaders especially Governors.

Many if not all I am sorry to say are criminals pretending to be politicians. Their only purpose in government is to steal money, get mistresses and prepare for the next election.

Botragelad:
Iran is so lost it’s now attacking another Muslim country. Whatever happened to the ummah? Keep isolating yourselves and making enemies, eventually Israel will wipe out the regime.😂

Another Muslim country? Iran has been the enemy of Saudi and most Arab nations since the 1978 revolution.

Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians. They also follow Shite Islam, not Sunni which majority of Muslims follow.

Richtaiwo:
He isn’t conducting a confidence poll among headless mobs.

He is simply stating that the German bank has expressed confidence in Nigeria’s economy.

If you go back and read the report slowly, you will understand better.

And you dont think it odd that a foreigner has confidence in an economy of a country where the vast majority are complaining about? Where is the love of your country?

Lori iro...audio praise. Tinubu better not be carried away and think all is well.

Oga President, the vast majority of Nigerians dont have confidence in the economy o!

Every President in Nigeria has always been praised about the economy even Buhari and GEJ. But the true worth of any economy is the prices of basic amenities Vs the purchasing power of the average Nigerian.

Wow. See all the bashing . Unbelievable.
I always thought most Nigerians especially those anti APC/Buhari/Tinubu liked the Prof!!!
Well one cant deny people the right to express their feelings.

Elvis2kay:
Sowore na trouble maker, 35 years as an activist he dosent want to start from the bottom, he just wanna become NIGERIA PRESIDENT 😅

Start from the bottom so he will learn how to steal? How to claim that 1 bottle of coke for the Governors Lodge is 20,000 a bottle? Or how to budget N80 million every year for fencing a government educational institution in Delta State that has already been abandoned for years and moved to a new location? Or how to steal teachers salary in the Local Governments of Ondo to that it can sit in an account to collect interest for the Chairman to chop?

All those who started from the bottom, show me one who didn't become a massive thief and incompetent leader?

Welcome Chief Olatokunbo Chuks Umar Kofi Beast...our son....the Atunluse EMoney EzeKudi of our time...

Wow. I used to monitor news about when I was child. But one funny thing is that I have never heard about the Davis Cup outside Nigeria, it doesn't seem to be popular.

But in Nigeria especially in the 80s and 90s, it was always headline news.

Ordinary 500k that I spend within. 2 weeks na him this one collect to kpai a whole human being . Na waoo for some people ooo .what was going through his brain 🧠

And the 500k was shared by at least 4 people. Can you imagine?!!!

How do you leave Nigeria, travel overseas to become an armed robber. No way it didn't cost those criminals at least N3 million to relocate to Europe.

Then after that you became an armed robber?

Yemmysworld91:
No back story,nothing. You just dumped an article on us. Ogun state and Ogun east senatorial elections go hot sha. Let's wait and see

Exactly. The back story should have been summarized for those of us who have no idea what happened at the funeral.

Has anyone seen any video of the Prayer Breakfast where Trump allegedly singled her out for praise.

Otamendi99:
I should boycott cheap fuel. As how now, let the competition continue.

It will be cheap for a while in the hope to disrupt Dangote; then they will jack up the price

Its a trap. They want to destroy Dangotes work. Why should Nigeria be importing petrol?
Nonsense.

Nigerians boycott these evil people.

This story and the sun standing still by Joshua is hard to believe.

Scientifically, the sun doesn't move, as they thought then that it was moving based on what they saw 'first lie detected'. It is the Earth we live on that moves around the sun. Peradventure the Earth stops moving, everything will die because everything is in motion. Even the ocean will stop, there will be chaos. If you apply your brain, most stories in the Bible don't add up. It was written base on what they saw at the time.

The sun does move. Everything in the Universe moves; all stars (suns), planets. Galaxies; Everything moves.

So if the alleged coup had succeeded, Sylva would have been appointed President? Or Godfather of the country and control of all oil wells?
Both coupists and those they wanted to overthrow are the same thing.

So maybe that Pastor really saw the vision where he said Tinubu was arrested at Eagle Square by soldiers and won't become President

HacheNoire:
Nevertheless, Oyo state needs change. Makinde has looted the mind, body and soul of that state.

Even if fact must be said, the next governor won’t be able to reverse the damage Makinde has done in 8 years.

By actual feasibility study, it will take Oyo state 31 years to get reverse the mess Makinde has created.

Haaaaaaa.. Ogaaaaa...
Is it that bad?

Who is he referring to? What single entity is the government handing everything to?
