GodHimself:
The point, which most of you seem to have missed, is that women are steadily taking over spaces once dominated by men.

This is no longer simply about equality. It's now about dominance, and who holds influence.

Walk into any banking hall. Roles that were once predominantly male are now predominantly filled by women..

Whether that's good or bad isn't the point I'm. making.

I'm just pointing out the trend.

You are very observant.
Even in Medicine,for every 6 new house officers,4 are females 2 are males.
Most engineering parastatals in Lagos are beinh head by females.
I am doing my masters with ABU,I entered thr exam all and luke 60% of the candidates sitting for the exam were females!

He should just do Sokoto-Kano road just to make it Federal or National circular road

IMF and their stupidity.....

Making weird claims!


They will never leave developing countries alone

Ezmans:
what concerns sule with the factory, is he the owner of the factory, or owner of the land he is only the governor of the state and he is very corrupt we should stop this praise singing politics in Nigeria

But peter OBI can be praised for attracting brewery.

Alex otti can be given credit for barth Nnaji power Plant which its construction started before Alex even conceived the idea of becoming the governor??

madridguy:
I hope our medical experts will work on that soon and bring out a medical name suitable for people hating Jagaban.

Jagabanophobia

Hmmm....PH was built has city for Enugu coal shipment.




Interesting!


All the bullet Lagos receives today should be received by Enugu,Kaduna and PH.The three cities created by lord lugard.

Lord Lugard met Lagos as a thriving cities long before those three cities were incorporated in early 1900s

Kudos to the president on the nation revenue drive too!

Goo0dHardDick:
Art students and commercial students definitely won't understand what's going on here

Biology is a general subject na

HacheNoire:
Humans have been migrating for decades! Even Jesus and Mohammad did, so the idea about staying or building home is out of the picture.

When Nigeria had her best times, people still migrated to other countries.

Nigerian never had her best times.
However,every of your other arguements are so on point.

Chinese still emigrate enmass despite good economy.Likewise Americans!

Obi wrong on negotiation with terrorists

IT is shocking that, despite the unspeakable atrocities committed by terrorists and bandits across Nigeria, some political leaders and opinion moulders still advocate negotiation, amnesty and reconciliation with mass murderers. This is wrong, dangerous and morally indefensible.

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in the 2027 election, Peter Obi, reportedly said recently that if elected President, he would negotiate with bandits who genuinely wished to surrender and embrace peace. He added that hardened insurgents who refused peace would face decisive military action.

While Obi’s distinction between repentant and unrepentant terrorists may appear pragmatic, it raises a troubling question: at what point do people who have slaughtered villagers, kidnapped schoolchildren, raped women and destroyed entire communities become deserving of negotiation?

Obi has consistently argued that terrorism and banditry are products of decades of leadership failure, poverty, unemployment, poor education, social dislocation and the erosion of governance and values. There is considerable truth in this analysis.

However, poverty does not compel people to kidnap children, burn villages, massacre farmers or abduct worshippers. Millions of poor Nigerians endure hardship without resorting to murder and terrorism. Social failure may explain criminality, but it cannot excuse it.

Ironically, Obi himself demonstrated a different approach as governor of Anambra State. During his tenure, kidnappers and criminal gangs faced sustained pressure from security agencies. The state became increasingly hostile to them, forcing many to flee. He understood then that criminals retreat when confronted with force, not persuasion.

Granted, negotiation and amnesty have been employed as counterinsurgency tools in some countries. But Nigeria’s experience has largely been characterised by deception, lack of transparency and repeated betrayal.

Granted, negotiation and amnesty have been employed as counterinsurgency tools in some countries. But Nigeria’s experience has largely been characterised by deception, lack of transparency and repeated betrayal.

In Katsina State, the government offered amnesty to some so-called repentant bandits in 2025 in exchange for ending attacks on communities. Yet despite the agreement, the criminals returned to violence.

In January 2026, attacks were reported in Dandume, Faskari, Funtua, Jibia and Kankara, where many citizens were killed, abducted and injured. The peace agreements proved worthless.

Understandably, the Katsina State Government’s plan earlier this year to release 70 bandits facing criminal trials under a questionable peace arrangement provoked nationwide outrage. The proposal sought to consolidate agreements involving communities in about 15 local government areas ravaged by insecurity.

But what message does such an arrangement send? That the state rewards violence. That those who terrorise society can bargain their way to freedom. That victims count for less than their tormentors.

The victims of terrorism suffer psychological, emotional and economic devastation. Many lose relatives, livelihoods and homes. Entire communities are displaced.

Yet these victims are often abandoned while enormous attention and resources are devoted to rehabilitating their attackers.

Any peace arrangement that ignores justice for victims is built on sand.

If negotiations must ever occur, they should only come from a position of overwhelming strength. Terrorists must first be subdued, degraded and rendered incapable of imposing their will. Negotiation without victory is surrender.

Perhaps Obi sought to accommodate those who believe that some low-risk fighters were coerced into joining armed groups. It is also possible that, in the heat of politics, his remarks were influenced by the search for northern political support.

Some northern leaders have repeatedly advocated dialogue with bandits, comparing it with the amnesty granted to Niger Delta militants in 2009. The comparison is false.

The Niger Delta militants were agitators demanding resource control and political concessions. The bandits and terrorists terrorising northern Nigeria are organised criminal gangs engaged in murder, kidnapping, extortion and mass violence. Their activities contain no legitimate political grievance.

They are criminals, pure and simple.

Indeed, terrorism, armed robbery and treason rank among the gravest offences known to the law. Armed robbery and treason attract the death penalty in Nigeria because they threaten both lives and the state itself. Terrorism combines both crimes: it attacks innocent citizens while simultaneously challenging the authority and sovereignty of the state.

If armed robbers and traitors can face death under the law, why should terrorists who massacre entire communities be rewarded with rehabilitation packages, financial support and reintegration programmes?

Moreover, experience has shown that some supposedly repentant terrorists return to the forests after rehabilitation, providing intelligence and operational support to their former groups.

There have also been persistent allegations that some ex-terrorists reintegrated during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari later became moles and collaborators.

Terrorists do not deserve mercy. They do not deserve compensation. They do not deserve amnesty. They deserve justice.

What Nigeria requires is the total defeat and annihilation of terrorist networks. This demands stronger intelligence gathering, improved surveillance capabilities, sophisticated weapons systems, modern technology and better coordination among security agencies. Equally important are improved welfare, training and motivation for military personnel risking their lives to defend the country.

Negotiation has repeatedly failed because it confers legitimacy on criminals and projects weakness on the part of the state. No collection of outlaws should ever become more powerful than the government.

The duty of the state is not to bargain with those who murder its citizens. It is to protect the innocent, punish the guilty and uphold justice.

There can be no lasting peace without justice, and there can be no justice where terrorists are treated with compassion while their victims are forgotten. The path to security is not appeasement but decisive victory

Samogbo1:
Recently I've been wondering why Sowore is not so popular amongst Nigerian voters during elections. It's very glaring that the name Sowore doesn't pull weight compared to the likes of Jagaban, P.O, and Atiku.

...from what I watched and read about him starting from his early days as a young student (NANS president) till date, this man has been genuinely fighting for true democracy in Nigeria.

Sincerely, what could be the problem? Is there any dent or something secretive I should know about this man that's yet to be unraveled?
I wil be expecting genuine and positive contributions to this topic.

Do you think Nigerians really want a working country

They only want their person to be in power.

That is the reason why they will criticize any government policy whether good or bad.
If you really love the country,you will applaud government when they fo the right thing.

TRIBALISM-Atiku is a fulani candidate
OBI is an Igbo and christians Candidate


Forget the
Packaging


Sowore doesnt belong to any majority group.

helinues:


Their kind of politics is too primitive. Like they hate others passionately

That's how I watched one video of a lady saying Apc supporters should avoid her door for their door to door campaign.

Wouldn't you people also do door to door campaign for your candidate? Like their reasonings heh

They hate with passion

This man is performing better than OTTI but he is poorly hyped for OBVIOUS reason





....GOD BLESS ALL PERFORMING GOVERNORS IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PARTY!

Cherrybae:
Grassroot is politics, with this programme tell me why the people will not vote her husband.

The opposition on rely on online hyping and rants. No grassroot mobilization at all.

Peter Obi is a disgraced to Ndigbo and humanity

He has been donating Anambra stolen money to catholic school of nursings sha

malali:
Trump, who isn’t even contesting for re-election, personally came out on Truth Social to direct fuel retailers to slash pump prices immediately, warning them against gouging. He didn’t hide behind his Energy Secretary.

Yet here in Nigeria, the same man who doubles as Minister of Petroleum, and is busy eyeing re-election, has not uttered a single word as marketers exploit Nigerians despite crashing crude prices.

This is the same president whose only real energy is reserved for collecting foreign loans and spending them.

Insecurity killing people daily? Silence.

Inflation choking families? Silence.

No power, no jobs? Silence.

Mass kidnapping of school children. Silence.

But petrol prices? Not a single official statement from his office.This lackadaisical, tone-deaf leadership is unacceptable. Tinubu should address Nigerians directly on this matter, not through proxies.

Relevant agency in Nigeria has made that call before your lord and saviour Trump even said anything!

But because your people literarily worship Trump,you have to attention to that than th3 one going on in your counrtey

So how do you know this?

How can KARU and KUJE roads be better than that of LUGBE that is Abuja Municipal?

Only hausas call themselves hausa-fulanis.

Fulanis will hardly associate hausa to that name fulani.A fulani man will simply call just call himself fulani!

How can a journalist be so partisan.
