oyatz: You are still living in the past (most probably born and grew up under the Military Rule, where FG was in-charge of virtually every aspect of Nigeria's economy).
Seaports, Airports, Railways and Electricity have been taken off from the exclusive list in the constitution and taken to concurrent list (meaning both FG and States can legislate on these items).
Lagos State ,through PPP built Lekki Deep Sea Port (more sophisticated than the old ports at Apapa and Tin Can) and currently building Badagry Deep-Sea Port.
Dangote is building Dangote Port for COMMERCIAL purposes in Ogun State.
Ibaka DEEP Seaport ,would have been completed if A/Ibom State Government is not doing it as a typical Government Project but do it via Public-Private Partnership, in conjunction with Chinese or Indian Business Corporations.
The roles of the FG is now more of a regulator rather than active players in these industries.
Oga am in my late 30ties....I am telling u that Nigeria as of today,no state can build a seaport like tincan Island Apapa .U tink a sea port is a motor park that anyone will jst wake up n build.Building seaports included signing major contracts wit a government of another country i.e u need federal government to be fully involved .No state as of today can build a port as sophisticated as tincan apapa dont be deceived.
TonyRazor: Nonye Soludo Challenges Ekwunife to Oath of Fidelity Before Blessed Virgin Mary, DNA Test on Children
By Our Correspondent
The wife of Anambra State Governor, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, has issued a dramatic challenge to Senator Uche Ekwunife, urging both of them to take an oath of fidelity before the Blessed Virgin Mary and to subject their children to paternity tests.
In a statement released on Friday, Mrs. Soludo accused the senator of fabricating allegations and dragging her children into political disputes.
She described Ekwunife’s conduct as malicious and warned that legal action would follow unless the lawmaker withdrew her claims and apologised within 72 hours.
Mrs. Soludo said a public oath would help settle questions of character once and for all.
“Since Uche Ekwunife claims to be a converted Catholic, I challenge her for both of us to swear an oath of fidelity and chastity at any cathedral in front of the Blessed Sacrament and the Bible.
I will swear (with my children) that in my 55 years on earth, I have known only one man—Chukwuma Soludo. On your part, you should also swear (with your children or your political ambitions) that since you got married, you have never cheated on your husband.”
The governor’s wife also invited Senator Ekwunife to scientific verification through DNA testing.
“I challenge you, Uche Ekwunife, for us to subject our children to paternity tests in three reputable hospitals in London. I will pay all the expenses, including travel for you and your family,” she said.
She added that if the results confirmed that Ekwunife’s husband fathered all her children, she would not only congratulate her but also present a cash award.
Describing herself as a quiet family woman, Mrs. Soludo stressed her Christian and conservative upbringing.
“I married him as a virgin and my fidelity to him in 33 years of marriage and for life is ironclad,” she asserted.
She further noted that she had never worked for government nor depended on public funds, even as First Lady of Anambra State.
Vowing to sustain her defence with dignity, Mrs. Soludo likened the clash with Senator Ekwunife to a long-distance race. “My weapons are decency, character, and grace. I am a long-distance runner, and I welcome you to the marathon,” she said.
The confrontation between both women traces back to Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s questions over Senator Ekwunife’s academic qualifications.
The senator responded with sharp criticisms, prompting the governor’s wife to step into the fray.
She didnt hav to issue any notice on this.Nonye is a desperate liar that will conjure anything to hurt her enemies. I hate people like that bt its actually q medical disorder
This should be hilda washes port for d camera....we hav really lost it in this generation. We dont glorify important tins anymore xcept stupid tins like hilda cooking big pot or peller talking nonsense. Instead of us focusing on exemplary initiatives like someone building something that makes like easier for us etc
The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd), has announced that the mandate given to him by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been “sufficiently achieved” with the restoration of democratic governance at the grassroots level.
Ibas made the declaration at Government House, Port Harcourt, in a statement signed by the Senior Special Adviser, Media, Rivers State Government, Hector Igbikiowubo, while receiving the report of the recently concluded local government elections from the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
He noted that the peaceful conduct of the polls and the swearing-in of elected chairmen and councillors across all 23 local government areas directly fulfilled the presidential directive issued to him on March 18, 2025.
I hav successful secured d required war chest for 2027 election of my principal
oyatz: There are functional ports in Onne,Rivers State and Calabar (though less patrinized). Dangote is building $800 million Seaport in Ogun State.
Since over 12yrs ago, Akwa-Ibom State Government has been allocating funds in yeary budgets for Ibaka Deep seaport, but these are often embezzled.
U nt understanding,states do not build seaport...its a federal project.Dangote port is for dangote refinery only or cement business.We are talking abt deep sea ports n infrastructure to handle d class of cargo Lagos ports handle.D ships that berth at tincan island cannot berth at ibaka.There needs to be facility to handle to class of ships . I will use airline industry to giv u an example...airbus 380 planes which are most owned by emirates airlines do not land in nigeria becos our runway cannot handle that particular class of plane.instead they use older substandard planes to convey passenger to Nigeria bt abroad they use airbus 380 for long haul flights.so who do u blame now for that?ofcourse nigerian government who hav refused to improve along wit d rest of d world
oyatz: This is similar to the usual excuses of failed siblings, blaming their most successful siblings that 'all the money that our parents had were used to educate Broda Yemi/ Aunty Aminat' now, he forgets us.
The real reason why other States witnessed slower growth: collapses of over 300 manufacturing companies scattered accross Nigeria between 1986-2007 and replacement, with culture of massive importation. This led to great rural-urban migration.
Oga accept this is very true.Nigeria has port issues bt refused to build another in other regions.lagos gets special treatment all d time
I foresee people keeping their cash out of banks.They better no start taxing every money that enters account as that one no be salary.Advanced countries dont tax money in ur account as it could be gift or merely a transaction wit ur interest being 2%
nwirinedu: Why do you need a tax id to operate a bank account? Of what use is the bvn and nin?
These kleptocrats want to destroy the citizens of these country , so it is the impoverished citizens that will pay their debts abi.
Its a shame Nigeria is a country where the citizens are willing participants in their impoverishment by kleptocrats.
Some people wit no sense will clap for this.Wat of people who hav no job ?why should they be forced to hav tax id wen they are not eligible to pay tax.wat of those living abroad n operating bank account in naija?las las people go stop using bank.
Awesome01: You are on point. He did it in Lagos through Alfa Beta as Tax Consultant. It made Lagos State generate more and more revenue but it forced everyone to pay tax through their nose.
I had always suspected this to come-in one day to Nigeria as a whole.I was expecting it come up after he wins his second term in 2027. Now its here.
He may have Indirectly just shot himself in the leg, because If true THIS POLICY MAY ACTUALLY BE THE DECIDING FACTOR COME 2027 ELECTIONS.
jayce232: Once your account record up to or above 800k annually, u will pay 20% of that money as tax. So students & jobless people may likely not earn that amount. But if u are spending up to 800k annually, u will be taxed even if u are a student.
Oga most students n jobless people hav more than that a year. Moreover,u are jst giving out wrong info as they never implied money that goes into ur account bt money earned as salary

Bemden: Three years after our marriage, I caught her chatting with her ex about how he made her squirt while licking her kitty. She promised not to chat him again and I told her to block him. 3 years after that time, she confessed to me again that she had sex with him 3 times after we got married. I still love her, how can I stop her from still going back to her ex?
PresidentMUGABE: “WE PROVIDED NIGERIA WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO EMBRACE LIGHT IN 1979, BUT THEY CHOSE THEIR OWN PATH”
-Russian Presido and �Point One Vladmir Putin opens up in-debt analysis of how Nigeria denied accepting the light.
“In the early days of 1979, the Soviet Union envisioned fostering friendship across Europe and beyond, with an eye on the future. Nigeria, a vibrant African nation, stood out due to its potential for success, fueled by reports of its booming oil deals in the global market.
The Soviets sought not dominance but genuine partnership, believing that two great nations could coexist and create something extraordinary from nothing. In 1980, the Ajaokuta Steel Company was established as a landmark of this vision, showcasing what such a collaboration could achieve.
However, Western influences intervened, as they often do, swaying Nigeria and leaving our Ajaokuta project abandoned and left to deteriorate. Today, Nigeria continues to struggle to find its footing, yet that project could have positioned them as a global leader in the steel industry. I hope future generations of Nigerians learn to choose their allies wisely!”
Na who never live wit russians no go know say dem be bigger bullies....they pretending
BreconHills: Bros there is a hierarchy in the court system: magistrate court, high court, appeals court and supreme court. Unless you have a supreme court ruling you can sleep easy unless the time for filing the appeal has elapsed.
As for bribing all levels of the court system good luck to that!
By the way are you an obedient? Because for you to believe that the entire process is rigged. 😂😂😂
Do u need to be Obidient to understand that judiciary isnt last hope of common man in nigeria?wat is wrong wit u people in this country sef.dont u want a country where u can take big connected man to court n win or u prefer ur rights trampled on by d powerful everyday
