SmartPolician: That's the disadvantage of marrying a woman much younger than you. I'm sure the former president would be kicking in his grave when he sees another man on his wife!
Who care if u already dead.i don die wetin concern me who climb my wife
asfrank: I recall when the president announced total deregulation of the Oil industry, people were busy making all sorts of noises.
Dangote should invest in crude mining, by so doing he reduces the cost of buying crude one way or the other. I trust he has mapped out his strategy, as new threat to his business comes up.
And if I were him, I'll lease filling stations, sell the dam thing myself... The Fuel cabal has met their match. It's Clear why successive government couldn't deregulate, and if Tinubu waited for a single day, it possible he wouldn't have done it...
He already leased filling stations. For me since d inception of d refinery i only buy mrs petrol.
bixton: There are not many of you in Nigeria who think for themselves logically without sentiments and emotions. Yoi have done well and seen it Many thanks.
Yes he did reduce d price to corner sympathy. That is business.however is wat he said tru or not?Is d refinery vital to our economy or not?do we want to stop his refinery business knowing how mch in tax he brings in?dont forget d more interest dangote refinery rakes in ..d more tax FG collects.
keemsleek: Nobody working in the oil sector that's not balling. How will I explain it? I work I the downstream sector. I know how this works; everyone is fighting for themselves first. Yes, there's corruption, and they need to reduce it, but why didn't Dangote expose them until it touched him? It's just like before u destroy me I will destroy you. Game of chess. You see all those guys bringing in product (the cabals); they've been together for a long time, it's like a cult. They will fight with everything they've got. Those guys finished Nigeria with a subsidy. You bring in 3kmt, and DPR will register 5 or 6kmt. The Navy, NPA, NUPENG, DPR, the company, and others will now share the rest. That's billions of naira stolen.
I also worked in d downstream for years being involved in inspecting petroleum products on ships before discharge to tabk farms.i can confidently tell u that d grade of petrol on paper is not wat really comes in.we get bad fuel other countries wont accept
FOLYKAZE: Dangote reduced his price to corner the people, their sympathy and every other things to himself. He then systematically attack NMDPRA, choosing the head, Farouk, for his hits. This guy is simply playing a kind of resistance as it is played out in the movie Money Heist. (simply make the established system the villain, give the populace some goodies to earn their sympathy, then direct them to destroy the enemy, the establishment). In this case NMDPRA which gave licence out to importers to scout refined products from Russia is the establishment. The question is that why should Dangote lose sleep if anyone choose to import their productd and sell at lose? Why should Dangote cry if importers chose to import and spill their products all over the sea?
Another question people fail to ask, what magic happened now that made Dangote reduce the price of his product? Has crude oil price in the international market crashed? Did FG waived import duties or the shipping cost suddenly reduced? All along, Dangote is manipulating the market selling exhorbitantly to Nigerians and now that he sees some guys ar going out to bring in fuel which could compete with him, he panicked, rush and reduced price, and now attacking NMDPRA for issuing licence for importation. What he has been doing is profiteering which is a crime.
Nigeria should wise up, the Greek gift and sudden Santa gifting from Dangote is to weed out competition. And the importers are here to stay. If they can get fuel at a reduced price from anywhere, they should be allowed to do it.
For me i will use only dangote fuel on my benz as benz typically required ron 91 petrol.Anything they bring cheap is poor quality and our scarce fx should not be used for importation of petrol.
greatiyk4u: See what Tinubu has turned our once-revered Bishop Kukah into🥲. Grand obfuscation at its finest. A whole thesis just to play around the MAIN issue.
Like Dele Farotimi opined, no one should boast of their integrity until they’ve survived Tinubu.

Of the Persecution of Christians in Nigeria : My Response
Bishop Matthew Hassan KUKAH
For over a week, I have been in the news on the basis of multiple claims that I had said that there was no persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
The outpouring of emotions is understandable especially against the backdrop of the inviolability of life, the extermination of which must not be undermined by any debates on numbers or intent.
I am grateful to my colleagues at The Kukah Centre, who issued a Statement while I was caught up with a tight schedule. I nevertheless believe that is no substitute for my personal responsibility.
First, let me say how sincerely sorry I am to be associated with representations that understandably are a source of great pain and mental anguish to so many of my brothers and sisters within the body of Christ. The outpouring of emotions suggests to me the investment of trust in me, an onus I do not take lightly.
I am baffled that despite the clarity of my position, there appear to be determined efforts to ascribed to me a position as saying that there is no persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Nothing could be further from the truth.
So, for the records, I did not say that Christians are not persecuted in Nigeria! Addressing an audience of the Catholic Knights of St. Mulumba in Kaduna on November 28th, I had spoken about the challenges of bearing witness to Christ in a time of persecution. I drew lessons from history and the stories of brave men and women in Nigeria and Africa as models of witnessing in times such as these. I concluded that the greatest challenge for Christians was unity and solidarity. Given the huge human and material resources that we have as Christians in Nigeria, if only we stood together, I argued, we would have no reason to be victims of persecution. Nothing here implied a denial of the fate of Christians.
Over the years, I have spoken extensively on the theme of persecution of Christians and have argued then as now that by whatever name we choose to call or describe our predicament, the bloodshed needs to end as soon as yesterday because our common humanity is at stake. The government and its security agencies have an urgent responsibility to bring the perpetrators to account. It is their neglect of this duty or their failure to accomplish it that detains us all in an appearance of disagreement without difference.
As a people, I believe we owe ourselves the collective duty to regain our humanity not as perpetual victims but as equal citizens of our land. Too many innocent souls have been lost, too much blood shed and our children and citizens are in captivity. Amidst the nadir of this pain, it is important that we focus on reclaiming the soul of our nation.
I am deeply sorry for the unnecessary distraction. These moments are too serious for us to equivocate. This is not the time for us to retreat or be distracted. This is a contest that we must win. The journey may be painful. We may falter along the way but we will only reach our destination by learning our lessons, standing up even when we stumble, and always keeping our eyes on the ultimate prize, peace for our country, Justice for those injured, and reconciliation for our people.
This is a struggle that I have committed most of my pastoral and intellectual life to. It is a struggle in which I pray that, by clinging to the old rugged cross, we can one day exchange it for a crown. So, let us all get back on the road especially as the spirit of Bethlehem beckons.

Haba kukah...u disappointed Nigerians. No one even asked u to lie...jst say d truth
They wanted benue bishops to come to abj to see members of congress...bishops refused n asked congress to come to benue n see for theirselves so no one controls d narrative
Nobody said tpain supports it...d persecution has been there before he dreamt of becoming president. His hands also seem tied as this are people that can crumble his political influence
thisisit: GEN MUSA IS A MEMBER OF ADDGON (Association of Defeated and Disgraced generals of Nigeria)... Buratai is their chairman... Musa is a showman, a TV talk show expert, a PR man, a Pressman........ BUT NOT A MILITARY TACTICIAN OF STRATEGISTS The ADDGON members lacks honour or patriotism......They aid bad leadership to destroy the nation
CannibalEast: And this had to make news?things they suppose codedly bomb the bandits,they took it to limelight,is it to let them know so they can flee or what?
If us is really carrying out reconnaissance right now u will never find out on pages of newspaper. They must hav conducted reconnaissance since months ago before even designating naijancountry of interest
mascot87: A white man called your country a disgraced country and you are acknowledging it just because you hate the president. Hope you know the stigma is also on you and you carry it anywhere you go in the world.
No nt becos of tpain ...naija was a shithole even before tpain.We accept becos its true n we require change
AWONEYAN: When it's Rufai turn, He should appoint his enemy to position
This post right here says Nigerians adore corruption .wats d meaning of this nonsense if e reach ur turn slangs u guys are using?not everything is cruise
This post is all about putting the theories in figures. STAY TUNED .
Now the man (From a supportive family) earns 100K and decides to Marry. That is #1,200,000 per annum (1.2M). His expected expenditure should look like this: ➡️Cost of wedding =Free (Family Sponsors). ➡️ House rent =Free (Has 2 rooms in his family house). ➡️ Electricity Bill (2K a month X 1 year) = #24,000. ➡️Feeding with wife and kid/s (At least 2K a day X 1 year)= #730,000. ➡️Clothing =Nil (He doesn't change clothes ). ➡️Wife Expenditure = Nil (Her parents supports her and fends for her in his house ) ➡️Baby Diapers = Nil (Baby wears Napkin). ➡️ Water (Sachet water and others) =Free. ➡️Baby Food and Groceries (Milk, etc, 5K per month X 1 year) =#60,000. ➡️Transportation to work (500 Naira per day X at least 270 days a year) =#135,000. ➡️Recharge card and Data for our man and wife (#200 a day x 1 year) = #73,000.
TOTAL SO FAR =#1,022,000 (1M, 22K) Our man will be left with #178,000 (178K) at the end of the year in review.
⚠️You will observe that I was extremely prudent in the expenditure, in the hope that both his family and the wife's family support the marriage which is most times unlikely; what applies is that you the man is the one supporting them instead.
⚠️ I only added basic RECURRENT costs and didn't account for emergencies like Healthcare, or even miscellaneous. I also obviously avoided school fees, baby wears, etc.
❓Can you marry with 100K income? YES & NO!
You can if you already have a room in your parents house, your family and her family is supportive financially and otherwise, you like stress and you are comfortable with your current financial status (as marrying at this stage will give you little room for financial improvement and growth)
But if you desire to grow financially, break the chain of poverty, value your peace of mind, want to give your family the best and live in a city where you pay for rent and other things, then it'll be a suicide mission to marry with a 100K income.
My 2 cents
Am of d opinion man who makes 150 below shouldn't consider marriag3.instead build n improve urself
Lanretoye: And after all these nothing will change,the saboteurs are amongst them,the sympathizers are within them.all the deliberations will reach the forests,let all states be in charge of their own security and all these rubbish will stop,there will be no federal government to blame. This kind of situation where the army will leave a particular location and immediately after then the bandits or terrorists will show up,the bandits will come in bicycles and will dislodge the army with armored vehicles is what I can’t comprehend.how can a general give his location in distress to the formation and the location will be leaked to enemies for him to be eliminated and no one gives account. The federal security mechanism is corrupt and porous to an extent that is can never be revived,all the generals are moving with bullet proved vehicles in the city and left the ones in frontline with just their rifles , A bulk of all the military armors and utilities are going into the hands of these terrorists ,there is no way the armored personnel carriers that was displayed by the bandits in one video would have entered the country if not from the military.,every time we will hear that the soldiers were ambushed,who leaked the information?. If the state government take ls charge of the security a lot will be achieved,these bandits were not trained as soldiers so we don’t necessarily need soldier la to tackle them.the state government t can recruit her own security,equip them and arm them well to go after these people.citizens are even ready and willing to go after these reckless people if allowed to carry arms,the state government can organize them
D only people that can handle this people is mercenaries like jonathan did.Army is compromised
bigdammyj: Sen. Ndume is simply saying, charity should begin at home. But in this case, he should realize that the President is the Commander in Chief.
He isnt saying tinubu should not hav escort bt rather reduce dem.Tinubu presently has a convoy pf over 30 vehicles filled wit personel of army ,police ,road safety,vio etc all in one man convoy in a less troubled zone within d country
