The boldened is not true. Germany is not the most populous country in europe despite being largest economy in europe. Nigeria's GDP reduced in dollar terms quite largely due to the Forex reform that fixed over valuing the Naira from the true value, and the economy is resetting itself. Nigeria's GDP has continued to grow.

You shouldn't have bothered educating folks like Aminda ,Racoon, etc , they know the truth but are paid to push misinformation around social media, unfortunately for them it won't stop Apc from completely decimating their party in 2027.

AMINDA:
Contrary to what you all think, Tinubu does not own the APC even though he tried to scheme all other blocs that formed the APC out in favour of ACN. Someone has to stay behind and rebuild the party to its original ideals once Tinubu is voted out in 2027.

The energy you spend on matters concerning APC, if you guys spent just a fraction on your Adc , by now you guys would have been a force to reckon with .

The whole front page comments and nobody has deemed it fit to use their brain to think that may be his wife he married some years back , the resemblance is striking.

Ohh you mean Tinubu has a candidate for Oyo ??

Yes ! Me , any problem?

In a statement posted on his social media platform, Truth Social on Monday, Trump called the Grammy Awards “virtually unwatchable” and accused South African comedian Noah of making an “incorrect” and “defamatory” claim that Trump and former President Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island.

Trump should come to nigeria to see how on air personalities insult office holders ( especially BAT ) and social media trolls , na everyday Trump go just dey issue lawsuit if he was a Nigerian leader

ubox:
Isn't that what the people want. You'll see comments like na stadium man go chop

My brother i tire! That's why west Africa is the least developed region in Africa.

dominique:
They're behaving like spoilt brats and sore losers. So because they're the ones hosting all the CAF competitions and events, they thought they do whatever they like and get away with it. Na CAF I blame

This is why infrastructure is important, West African countries dont like investing in quality infrastructure, if nigeria had 5 of Abuja and akwa ibom stadium scattered across the country CAF will have alternative countries to counter north africa but NO , West African countries will rather do stomach infrastructure.

Turkey: Osimhen scores 200th career goal in Galatasaray’s big win over Kayserispor

Victor Osimhen scored his 200th career goal as Galatasaray thrashed Kayserispor 4-0 in their Turkish Super Lig clash on Sunday night.

The Nigeria international also provided an assist in the game.

Osimhen has so far registered 165 club goals, and another 35 on the international scene.

The 27-year-old scored Galatasaray’s second goal from the penalty spot in the 26th minute.

The striker then teed up Gabriel Sara for Okan Buruk’s side third goal on the hour mark.

Osimhen has scored 14 goals in 20 appearances across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds this season.

Galatasaray maintained top spot on the table with 49 points.

This can't be correct because if it is, Lagos wouldn't be number one.
In most parts of Lagos, when digging borehole, you don't need to dig too deep to get water but to see drinking water, it's almost impossible. You'll always need treatment especially on the island even on the mainland, to get drinking water for some area like Apapa na war, you'll also need to be treating the water.
This statistic is definitely wrong in my opinion.

They said access to clean drinking water ,that means treated water bro not raw water , the north lack both raw and treated water ,cos of the terrain.

You’re confusing where production happens with where consumption is captured.

VAT in Nigeria is recorded at the point of consumption, not where value is created. Production can drive employment, exports, and reinvestment while consumption – and VAT – is captured elsewhere.

Yes, Texas and California have massive formal retail systems that capture sales tax, but that's possible because they're also the 2 most populous states in the U.S.

In the case of the South East, production can be high, but with a smaller population and wide inter-regional trade, much of the consumption is captured outside the region.

I think the new tax laws are trying to tie vat to point of value and no longer point of consumption.

The usa sales tax captures it at point of sale/consumption.

If the new tax laws actually capture point of value for vat going forward then let's wait and see what next year's stats will show us .

Low VAT Doesn’t Mean Low Economic Contribution: The South East Nigeria Case

False, False,False.

First let me commend you for trying to be logical about the south easts position in terms of vat

But I'm sorry to inform you ,your surmise/logic is completely faulty and False.

Generally locations that are known for productivity and manufacturing all over the world also generate a high level of consumption.

The reason is simple - if you have a factory producing shoes and due to good profits the effect will trickle down to your staff in form of improved bonuses , pay and welfare, and in turn they will spend the gains on the necessary things of life : food ,clothing ,etc .

So there will be a higher disposable income and purchasing power parity even after exporting your products to other regions .

If you think my logic is wrong let's use one of your examples.

The usa is still a manufacturing and services powerhouse globally.

Texas and california are known as the top 2 locations for productivity.

The usa dont do VAT , they do sales tax instead and we are all agreed that VAT is also a consumption/sales tax.

Now guess the regions with some of the largest sales tax in USA?

Yes you guessed right - texas and california.


The honest truth is the south east is not as productive as you assume.

Brendaniel:
When I tell Tinubu supporters that though OBJ had his faults he is by far better than Tinubu and Tinubu has no excuse to blame previous governments for his failure.

How do you measure performance, it is based on what you met and what you left, just take a look at the chart up there for OBJ, imagine if it was Tinubu who met such in 1999 when he became president, just think about the manner of excuses he would have been giving.


And still OBJ paid subsidy throughout his tenure and cleared Nigeria's debts of about 38 billion dollars, and still opened an excess crude oil account and saved over 30 billion dollars within a space of 8 years which was separate from external reserve he grew from 4 billion dollars to 43 billion dollars...

Now I ask them again, What exactly is Tinubu"s excuse? The bad part is a lot of his people hate OBJ and like Tinubu and will tell you that Tinubu is better, why? Tribalism, OBJ is a nationalist, Tinubu is an ethnic supremacist leader

Where have you ever heard tinubu give excuses ? Same you forgot tinubu was a governor under same government as obj and met a dilapidated lagos with igr less than 700m and grew it times 2 .

He is replicating same savings and growth model as president, in just 2 years he has done what buhari achieved in 8 years with external reserves, what do you think will be the final reserves if he has done this amount in just 2 years ?

By 2027, there won't be any point in conducting an election. This is impressive of Tinubu. Politics is local and intentional, not online thugery and name-calling.

Infzct I'm thinking BAT fell yesterday purposely, cos Obidients and co have been feasting on it , they are so distracted they have forgotten to focus on building their party .

You guys spend all your time on frivolous activities instead of actually getting down to working on your party and candidates fortunes , propaganda format is no longer effective, but you guys have refused to learn, dont worry you guys will learn that lesson well in the next 12 months.

These are the faces of some of those who claim they want to rescue Nigeria! They will do well to state in very specific terms their individual records in the private and public sectors not leaving out their family and marital lives.
Faces of those who want to rescue Nigeria:

Bolaji Abdullhai, former Minister of Sports

David Mark, former Minister of Communications, former senate president, he was in the senate for 20 years

Atiku Abubakar, former vice president

Rotimi Amaechi, Former Speaker, Rivers State House of Assembly, former Governor of Rivers State, former Minister of transportation. He was in power for consecutive 24 years

Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, he was there for 8 years

Emeka Ihedioha, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, he was in the Green Chamber for 12 years, he also served as the Governor of Imo State for almost a year.

What exactly are they planning to do? Which new idea are they bringing? What exactly is fresh about them? What did they do differently when they occupied those offices? They are all former this and that, that's what they will remain till God knows.
I take particular note of the omission of Rauf Aregbesola a divisive figure who almost tore Osun State apart destroying personal, neighborhood and family relationships during his tenure as Osun State Governor. By the way, I am not a partisan politician.

Structure of criminality

avalancheMedia:
When Peter Obi steps into the streets, cities don't just notice—they stop. Today in Abuja, as he campaigns for Moses Paul, the ADC candidate in the AMAC election, the capital has once again ground to a halt. Markets closed. Roads packed. Thousands flooding the streets. This is the second time in weeks he's shown up for Moses Paul, proving one undeniable truth: Peter Obi is the opposition's most powerful force right now, and it's not even close.

So moses Paul cant use his own popularity or goodwill to campaign , I have never seen since 1999 where presidential candidates go to help local government candidates to campaign and win election , if you cant stand on your own to win an election then you shouldn't be attempting to contest then.

There's nothing Nigerians didn't do the avert the dangerous disaster like this TInubu's government. He was rejected during campaigns, he was rejected at the polls, he was rejected in Lagos, Kano, Borno, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, everywhere, and even the bishops, imams and the prophets rejected him but INEC reversed the people's will and here we are. Crying, burying innocent people.

9:28 am in the morning when people were busy getting to office or opening shop wether online or offline, you sat down to open thread on Nairaland for frivolous gossip, SMH. Go and get productive bro .

Abuja, Nigeria — A 2025 environmental cleanliness assessment has identified only nine states as meeting the benchmark for acceptable sanitation standards across Nigeria.

According to the report released by Statisense under the Clean Up Nigeria, 2025 initiative, the states that scored above the 45 percent cleanliness threshold are Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Bauchi, Plateau, Cross River, Lagos, and Abuja City. Akwa Ibom ranked highest overall, followed by Enugu and Ebonyi.

The assessment indicates that the remaining 28 states, including areas of the Federal Capital Territory outside Abuja City, were rated as unclean after failing to meet the minimum score required.

The findings highlight persistent challenges in environmental sanitation and waste management across much of the country, while also pointing to regional differences in performance. Analysts say the results underscore the need for stronger policies, enforcement, and public participation in cleanliness and environmental health initiatives nationwide.

The report categorized states by geopolitical zones, noting representation from the South-South, South-East, South-West, North-Central, and the Federal Capital Territory among those rated clean.

So you guys opened your eyes and went to gum body with politicians who fear accountability and are now upset cos dey are showing you their true character?

Obi and his movement are the dumbest political movement i have seen in my life , if you feel all other politicians are criminals and fear accountability why didn't you spend the last 3 years building a new party solely made up of Obidients and like minds and then give the inaugural presidential ticket to obi instead of jumping from one party to the other and now trying to dictate to the people you met jn the party how to run things .
