A whole Lagos APC Chairman does not have combat ready mopols that can protect him from assault, this is too bad. However, if he actually shortchanged peoples interest, then he's not worthy to ba called a leader. Leaders should be seen to be fair when dealing with people and not forcing your interest on them.

Dickson no get joy at all. Imagine instructing Obi to stand up in his sitting room and ask him to recite time-table while Kwankwaso the running mate was seated. They are just preying on Obi's weakness and the way I'm seeing Dickson, he may start to give Obi conditions if he wants to remain as NDC presidential candidate.

It is better to be proactive than to be caught unaware. Why are some people blaming Edo State Govt for closing the schools in the interim. Some of you just want these kidnappings to continue so you can continue to lambast the govt. It is when your family are kidnapped that is when you will know this thing no be child play.

I'm only concerned about the rising global oil prices which is badly hitting Nigerians. The more this useless war is prolonged, the more we suffer as Nigerians without government assistance to cushion the effects on us. I still find it weird how some Nigerians keep supporting Israel strike on Iran and vice-versa, even if you deh benefit from the government, remember that many people are suffering.

Obi is too soft to rule a complex Nation as Nigeria. Being humble does not necessarily translate to a leader that is decisive, strong and transformational. Nigeria needs someone with a iron hand but at the same time brutal to reset the institutional decay. Many Nigerians are used to the old system such that if things are to be done the way it is done in advanced countries like UK, many Nigerians will find themselves in jail especially lecturers that sleeps with students, guys that sexually assault young girls, people that violate traffic rules, medical practitioners involved in medical negligence, people that taps electricity illegally and a lot of other illegal things that people do in Nigeria. As you are reading this, search yourself if you don't fall into one out of these categories, so when I see people blaming the government, I also ask if they are also not part of the rot in the system.

This time around she will learn the hard way for spreading false news. And to others who are still in the habit of creating panic among people by spreading false news, your time is coming. By the time they start jailing you people one by one, your useless brain will reset.

OgbeniOja1:
But them no fit track and arrest bandits. I'm disappointed in the government

He's an online bandits and he will face the full wrath of the law. I want to see who go rescue him now. He will definitely pay for the rubbish he did online. And for others that like spreading false news in order to create panic, your time is coming.

If you think you can continue to risk your life by going to Night vigils and church services when bandits are wrecking havoc weekly, then you need to rethink. The federal and state governments have shown they don't care about the life of the people they govern. Stay in your house at this critical time, and for those that also embark on journeys that are not mandatory and important, use your senses, don't go and put yourself into unnecessary risk which you could regret for the rest of your life.

An ordinary media aide resigned and you turned it to electoral victory for NDC, wetin you people deh drink? Not a commissioner resign, not a political heavyweight in Bayelsa but a media aide. What if a commissioner resigns, na to deh carry bell around the market and be dancing. You people are on a long thing. APC may have failed but the structure is still there, they have their own party supporters who will come out on election days to vote for their party, do not ever think that it is 100% of Nigerians that are rooting for APC to be dislodged from power, you have a lot of work to do.

I have not even seen the impact of the US security collaboration with Nigeria. If I may say, since they decided to collaborate with Nigeria, insecurity has worsen and you begin to wonder if their coming to Nigeria is a plus or additional burden to the country. Nigerians can only believe the US if we see concrete actions from them. If dem kpai terrorists we need to see their faces as that's the only evidence we can rely on as Nigerians that their presence is justified.

I think they need to call a meeting with the Fulani community that specialises in rearing cows and read a riot act to them. Let them know anyone found moving cows in the FCT major roads would be dealt with while the cows will also be siezed. By the time you jail some of them, their brain will reset. These are the people contributing to the problem facing Nigeria and that is why we say they need to split the country because our reasoning are different.

I don't understand why some people cannot just take a stance. When they heard that Jonathan might be contesting, they said it was the handwork of Tinubu and he's trying to use Jonathan to spoil Obi's chances in the south. Now the venue to declare Jonathan as a presidential aspirant is being blocked, these people still attribute it to Tinubu. Dem use Tinubu to swear for you peoples head ni? Honestly you people's way of thinking is beyond human comprehension.

It is easy for them to call out the government but very difficult for them to also obey rules e.g traffic rules in Nigeria. Why is it that when these celebrities land in advanced countries, their brain resets and the big man mentality they exhibit in Nigeria becomes deflated. Do you people think it is only the government that is culpable of your accusations, people in the grassroots also do worse things and they expect the country to get better. Do you know how many Nigerians will find themselves in custody if the laws were to be applied to the letter. You see pastors in Nigeria illegally tapping electricity for their church, you see lecturers sleeping with their students, judges getting bribed, drivers disobeying traffic rules, over speeding, corruption etc.

bolaayenimo:
Everybody wants to talk. Do they even respect your green passport in ordinary Kenya and Nigeria?

Is the information passed about respecting the passport? They are guiding the citizens to obtain a valid passport before leaving the country but this is you saying something else. When they get stucked in other countries and now crying for help, people like you will still come out to start blaming the government for the laxity of the citizens.

Imagine the OP suggesting Fubara should rig election for his own brother. Many of you supporters of the opposition parties are only angry because you're not benefiting from the government in power. If you're encouraging a sitting governor to rig election for his brother, then why are you guys crying that the APC is rigging elections. If it favours you, you go keep mute but if it's the other way round na to deh accuse the ruling party. No difference between the opposition and the ruling party, everyone deh look for wetin dem go chop.

Gotocourt:
All your rigging plans will fail

Who do you people like this? You don't even want to know if a governor is performing or not, but because he joined APC that is his crime and you begin to threaten him with your vote. I believe his work should speak for him irrespective of party affiliations, however you have right to your opinion and you can support any candidate of your choice.

We all see the havoc done by terrorists in Oyo State by abducting School teachers and pupils. This act has shown the unpreparedness of the state governments and how inefficient the leaders are when it comes to securing the lives and properties of the people they govern. Must these governors wait till havoc is done before they think of solution to insecurities in their states. What are they using the billions they collect from the federal govt for. These state governors also collect security votes monthly from the federation account and I'm sure they will pocket substantial percentage of this fund. The state governors cannot be left off the hook because they also swear to protect lives of the people they govern. Now that Oyo State has been attacked, what measures are other states in the south putting in place to prevent havoc like this in their respective states. How secured are their states from terrorists and bandit attacks? These bandits concentrate mostly on the rural areas and that is why most of their operations are successful. You cant continue to blame the federal government for insecurity because the governors are also in charge of securing their respective states. Do you see these governors complaining of not getting enough allocation or financial support from the federal government? However, in order for the people not to see their lapses, they shift the blame to the federal government. As we are blaming the federal government, call out these state governors who are also sitting on billions of allocation and misusing it as they wish.

This Fayemi will just be regurgitating nonsense from the mouth. You begged Obi to greet the president, is it a must he must greet Tinubu? Because you're no longer in power, you think you can just be spewing nonsense via the media. People should not take someone like you serious anymore because when you were in power, you never made impact and you're only looking for attention.

Desmond wont be trusted with political office anymore. When he was enjoying the largesse and everything was favouring him for good 12 years, he never complained, he never came out to challenge the system that brought him in but now that events is no more in his favour, he went berserk and trying to challenge the system, he will definitely learn the hard way from those APC leaders.

I feel like crying seeing how these innocent people are maltreated. Even if we assume that our government(state and federal) have failed and need to be voted out, why is the US not helping with intelligence here. How come the US cannot smoke out the bandits terrorising Nigeria and save our people from the hands of these MONSTERS.

If government will be sincere in ensuring uninterrupted power supply, then they should pass legislation to fine or jail for a minimum of 6 months anyone caught tapping power illegally. You cant be blaming government for inefficiencies while you also sit at your house also committing illegal acts.

Person collect award for player of the month while topic says player of the season, na wa ooo.

Congratulations to her and her parents. However, I find something really strange in the report. She said her parents hardly speak yoruba to her until when she got to SS3. This is not good at all, this is how we are loosing our mother tongue gradually because we hardly speak it to our children. English should not replace our mother tongue completely, imagine if she cant speak yoruba, how will she now communicate such to her own children when she gives birth.

Life na turn by turn. The dose he gave to the helpless people in southern Kaduna when he was in power is being given to him now. I have no pity for any politician who do not value the life of the people they govern. Who could believe El-rufai who boasted that any Fulani killed is a loan that would definitely be repaid is now helpless and crying in incarceration. He thinks he's above the law and no southern leader will have the gut to prosecute him but he can now see how powerless he is outside power.

People, governments and organisations hardly obey court judgement in Nigeria because our politicians have bastardised the justice sector. That's why I like UK with their legal system, they have strong institutions that can protect one if you're being cheated.

Anytime he travels out of the country, these monster strikes. Don't even know if na collaborative work or they are just trying to disgrace his govt. To purchase and station at least one helicopter each of the mopol bases or force headquarters in each states so as to respond to emergencies is what the govt will never think of. Na to deh waste public funds on useless projects dem sabi

You said you have the popularity but you're afraid of contesting in a party primaries? If you're running away from ordinary party challenges, how do you think you'll have the mental strength and capacity to govern Nigeria. He's a lazy politician and that is why he cannot boast of people he mentored in politics. All those that served under him when he was governor for 8 years in Anambra could not identify with him because they know he's weak and not a real leader.

They gave Desmond platform to contest and represent his constituency, he was busy undermining his leaders. I'm happy he has been exposed, he won't smell any political appointments in Lagos again. That woman will get the support of the leaders and voters in that constituency, Desmond should go back to his state and contest there.

He should have been asked to account for the public funds he mismanaged constructing unnecessary rail lines from Maradi to Niger republic. The amount of funds he wasted on that useless projects is enough to fix a good number of bad roads in Nigeria. He was working to please the northerners as the anointed Buhari candidate. Sometimes these politicians when in office behave as if sense is far from them. Why can't they prioritise projects that needs urgent attention instead of wasting funds on irrelevant capital projects. The amount the Tinubu govt is wasting on the coastal road can be used to turnaround the healthcare sector but it is not a priority to them.

Streetinvestor2:
It is no longer international breweries. If SW president does not go to jail in 2027 for looting nigeria wealth. God will not forgive obi after we vote him

See painment from this one. You better don't increase your BP. Power is not given for free, it must be fought for via party primaries, alignments and people's votes. You can't tell me you have the capacity to fix Nigeria's diverse problems when you lack strategic intents to fix party challenges and prefer to look away and run.

Nword22:
And you are the police here for free speech.. no one can stop comments or have you collected from this yahoo man.

You people just don't want anyone to contest with Obi in any party primaries. The same fear he exhibited by failing to conduct local government elections for 7 years in Anambra because he knew what await him. Stop promoting somebody who sees challenges and run away. You can't tell me you have the capacity to fix Nigeria's diverse problems when you lack strategic intents to fix party challenges. Nigeria will crash on his head if he luckily win presidential elections.

Hmmmmm2024:
I expect them to be more interested in why he was arrested, whether or not the allegation requires an invitation, and whether he was invited and he refused to honor the invitation... after having answers to the above questions, then they can think of whether go on strike or not... after they will say Gen z don't have sense, but the people taking the decision to go on strike are those born in the 70s and 80s

Thank you for your comment. What is the difference between this useless union and the EFCC? You're shutting down healthcare services which will affect hundreds of patients, some in critical conditions just because one staff who possibly or likely has dipped his hand in public funds( not verified) was whisked away, make we deh use our head for this country. I don't have any pity for any public officials harassed by security agencies as long as you also partake in siphoning public funds.
