They all look like smoked kpanla fish

The House of Reps have no power to order a separate arm of government. The legislature mandatory powers are exercised thorough law not resolution. Resolutions are advisory and not binding.

You have a point but their concern and the issues raised are valid and must be addressed. We need a country where things are done according to the intention of the law and the constitution; otherwise, we might as well go our separate ways

Long story short - that your friend na mumu. He mumu pass him mama

Nice one from Mr. President there.

It's always good to appreciate people for their little effort. It should motivate them to do even better next time knowing that their effort will be appreciated and regarded.

Jilo83:
But remember all major contenders during 2023 presidential election said they will remove fuel subsidy immediately they are sworn in.

They didn't use the word 'immediately'. Its true some of them promised to do away with subsidy but there is no guarantee they would actually go ahead with it and even if they do, I don't think they would have recklessly removed it with such urgency as Tinubu did without making sure there is enough palliative on ground to ease the impact of the subsidy removal.

You try small. Let me score you 40% for your effort.

The thing is there is no perfect government anywhere on earth. There is no perfect politician anywhere. No politician anywhere is 100% clean and Peter Obi can't be an exception.

Nevertheless, I am still convinced that he remained the best and the cleanest among the politicians that contested during the last presidential election.

The two websites below give some information about his legacies and achievements in Anambra State education sector while he was the governor:

https://selonnes.com/2018/02/01/anambra-state-education-rebirth-the-peter-obi-model/

As for his other achievements generally as a governor check out the link below:

https://www.legit.ng/nigeria/1498135-18-major-achievements-peter-obi-melt-hearts/

I am still convinced Peter Obi has the right kind of personality and principles Nigeria of today desperately needs from a president. He has what it takes to lay the right kind of foundation for Nigeria's development for future leaders to build on. There is a reason he is passionately loved by so many people.

Ballmer:
Below Is the answer with verifiable links to all your questions on the failure Peter Obi represent, I know it won't change you opinion due to tribal sentiment but it also will not change the fact Peter Obi is a failure. A ruse promoted base only on tribal n religious sentiment depending on who you talk to.

Peter Obi as no verifiable history of performance in governance this in addition to carefree looting of stats resource such as looted fund into his daughter Pandora account.

Igbos justifies this claiming he own the account before becoming governor if you are interested I have info the account was not opened in his first term as governor but second term which is most when Nigeria govern loot ceaselessly n this after Marvel Akpoyibo commissioner of police Lagos state discovered his method of looting ₦250 million monthly from Anambra secretariat to his warehouse at Orile in Lagos.

Investing state fund into private business with no return like brewery, the 4 billion into Orient Petroleum Refinery which is yet to refine a single little of fuel till date etc. The list is endless.

But the aide hasn't spoken to any body yet. So where is the media getting this story from?

Ballmer:
did he not chase Igbos from other state away from Anambra civil service ?

Even though you don't have evidence to proof this but the truth is every nation and every state is after its self-interest. No responsible governor anywhere allows its state's civil service to be over-run by indigenes of other states at the expense of his own people.

Ballmer:
Did poverty rating in Anambra not increased under Obi ?

Do you mind telling us with verifiable evidence what poverty rate was before Obi became governor and what it was after he left the office?

Ballmer:
Did he not increase tuition by over 300% ?

Can you tell us with verifiable evidence how much tuition fee was before Obi became the governor and how much it was after he left office.

Can you also tell us with verifiable evidence and authentic link to the source of the information, the state of education of Anambra State before Obi became the governor and after his tenure?

Ballmer:
Was he not caught looting ₦250 million monthly directly from Anambra secretariat to his warehouse at Orile in Lagos by Marvel Akpoyibo ?

Can you show us a video evidence to support you claim that Obi looted the above amount monthly?

Can you also tell us why EFCC and subsequent governors of Anambra state never bothered to probe and prosecute him?

Ballmer:
Was kidnapping n armed robbery not rampant under Obi as governor ?

Can you tell us with verifiable evidence and link to the source of the information what kidnapping and robbery rate in Anambra was before Obi became the governor and what it was after he left office?

Your answers to the above questions will help us make informed decision in the future. Thanks.

Mind you, I need answers with verifiable evidence and a link to the authentic source of the information you are giving.

“It’s injustice for anyone to blame the Tinubu administration for the current economic hardship because there is no other alternative than the removal of the fuel subsidy. After all, Nigeria cannot even afford to pay the subsidy.

_Mohammed Sanusi(Former Cbn Gov)

Idiotic reasoning there from whoever made the above comment.

'The current economic hardship' Nigerians are facing are a direct result of Tinubu's policies! Hurriedly removing fuel subsidy without providing any palliative and recklessly floating the Naira knowing fully well that Nigeria is an import dependent nation that will always need to sell the Naira in order to buy dollars and other foreign currencies in order to import over 90% of what it consumes. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that these two actions of Tinubu are capable of plunging the Naira and the economy into the abyss that we are seeing now!

On the claim that Nigeria cannot afford to pay subsidy, I don't think that is true. Subsidy itself was never the problem. The real problem with subsidy was the mind-boggling corruption behind it plus the fact that every government in power seems to lack political will to tackle the corruption because of fear of stepping on some powerful toes.

In the present state of the country's economy, uprooting corruption in the subsidy system and making sure all those involved in the corrupt activities are prosecuted and jailed would have been in the overall interest of Nigerians rather than removing the subsidy completely.

Jonathan's Chief of Staff was the former Edo State Deputy Governor, Mike Oghiadome. He brought in Gen Arogbofa to appease South Westerners in preparation for the 2015 election. Recal there was no Yoruba man or woman amongst top 6 important positions in the country. In addition the SW only had 1 full Minister (Akinwunmi Adesina), the rest were Minister for State.

What do you mean by 'top 6 important positions in the country'?

On your claim that the SW only had '1 full Minister' under Jonathan and the rest were Ministers of State, why are you guys such terrible liars? Why do you always think you can deceive and mislead all Nigerians with lies and propaganda?

The following are list of Minsters from SW under Jonathan:

Minister of Trade and Investment - Olusegun O. Aganga (Lagos)

Police Affairs - Caleb Olubolade (Ekiti)

Communication Technology - Mrs. Omobola Johnson (Ondo)

Foreign Affairs - Olugbenga Ashiru (Ogun)

You guys should stop defending Tinubu's one-sided, nepotistic appointments with lies about how previous governments started it. It makes you look stupid and devoid of conscience. Even Buhari didn't display the level of nepotism displayed by Tinubu.

Must you announce to the criminals that you are coming to comb their hideout searching for them? That is unintelligent.

At least we have money to buy the generators rather than being in darkness, and we always beat South Africa in football

Congrats bro. This is the type of story I want to be hearing from my fellow country men and women. Its always good to take your destiny into your hands and do something meaningful with your life rather than blaming the government for everything.

Lastly I am happy you like the salary too!

Laugh no go kee me this morning. Both the judge and Falana who brought the case are drunk.

FG can only arbitrarily fix the price of goods imported by the government itself. You don't dictate how much I should sell the goods I import or buy with my money.

God bless Nigeria. God bless Super Eagle.

Too late. The man has been taking care of the boy as his son since childhood, so he remains his son; DNA or no DNA.

Women like to think they can always eat their cake and have it.

aariwa:
…they will soon make a call to release the cargo and nobody would hear anything anymore about it

Sure. With a promise to settle the boys of course!

We need earth-shaking revolution in this country

This is one of the reasons I refused to join the bandwagon of those crucifying Beta Edu. I suspected she must have acted based on instruction and advice she got from some senior civil servants in the ministry who must have convinced her that the funds for the project she was about initiating was normally paid into the personal account of the project accountant.

I knew there is no ministry and agency of government that is not guilty of what Beta Edu was accused of.

You guys should tell your terrorist idiot brothers to stop attacking and killing farmers.

You don't expect price of food items not to go up when you herdsmen and terrorists keep attacking and killing farmers in their farm and destroying their crops.

Looking fresh and younger. Baba don cash out well well through his son's death.

Btw, thank God we still have plenty of single ladies on nairaland. I will dash him some ladies here for free

Biglittlelois:
How come it is usually Men that cry more than the bereaved? I don't understand.

The answer to your question is simple: it's because this is one area most women are often shy to talk about publicly. It's rare to find a woman who would publicly announce that she is looking for a husband even though deep inside she is dying to have a man in her life.

You see, there is something only a man can offer a woman. There is a vacuum in every woman's heart that can only be filled by a loving mature man. No amount of money, wealth or social status can fill that vacuum. Only a man can. Any woman who do not realise this is a dead soul!

He charged Nigerians to ignore those trying to deceive them into embarking on the journey to Europe without admission to a university, a job offer from a Belgian company or an invitation from a family member to relocate.


https://dailytrust.com/japa-many-nigerians-in-forced-prostitution-in-belgium/

The man just nailed it. How can somebody who is already living a comfortable life in Nigeria and has some reasonable savings and achievements in Nigeria just wake up and decide to japa without any family member living there who invites him/her to come over; without a confirmed job offer from a company abroad, no admission into school oversea. Just burn the money he managed to save and destroy any little progress he manage to make only to go and start life from square zero in a foreign land where he would not even know where to start from. Many people are mad shia!

You got a restraining order stopping you from carrying out your investigation and you could not go to appeal court to set aside the restraining order? That means you were not serious to begin with.

From the way things are going Naira will end up being worse than Zimbabwean Dollar.

I see Naira shooting above N5,000 per dollar before this year ends.

I would rather use the N5 million to play bet9ja than to use it to japa.

Now that CBN here in Lagos, how do I get job in CBN? am a first class Economics graduate

The way Nigeria is eh, if you like get PhD in Economics, even if the CBN's office is in your village or opposite your compound if you are not a family member or a family friend of one of the top politicians at the Federal level or a family members of top management staff of CBN forget it unless you are supernaturally lucky though.

Tinubu's position is understandable. The lady failed to use her common sense and wisdom in running the ministry and she is paying dearly for it. Hope she has learnt her lesson and become better for it

I just wonder, do we really have decent people in this type of church? If yes, what exactly are they doing in that type of place?

Some churches are not worth your time and energy

I think the yearly rent payment is the best o. That way once you can gather money and pay for one year you know you are free from house rent matter for that year and can focus on other things.

My only suggestion would be that there should be a law restraining landlords from insisting on a one year rent payment if the tenant can't afford it.

This thing should be a matter of mutual understanding and agreement between the landlord and the tenant.

This mummy zee and her husband need to know the wisdom of quitting when the ovation is loudest. Its time for them to be less active on social media, go underground and enjoy the little wealth they unexpectedly and miraculously got. If they must be active on social media, they should resist the temptation of either insulting people or responding to people's insult.

Tacha just revealed to the whole world that she is a vile, bitter, toxic, rotten soul judging from her reply to mummy zee's comment; I'm happy she met her match in the person of Buchi

Let me use this opportunity to officially welcome Otedola to the billionaires' club

The man has a point.

Abuja by the virtue of it's geographical location at the center of Nigeria and it's role as the capital city of Nigeria is the mist detribalised city that actually unites all Nigerians, unlike Lagos where yoruba people no wan gree say 'na no man's land'. It makes sense that the headquarters of all Federal Parastatals should be in Abuja; otherwise, kukuma scatter the agencies and Ministries to many states.

Tinubu ought to have maintained the status quo.

If the current CBN's building in Abuja is no longer enough to contain staff nothing stops them from building or renting another office in the same Abuja for additional staff they have.

Moreover, in this age of internet, zoom meetings, whatsapp video calls, CBN staff in Abuja doesn't even need to come to Lagos for any thing when they can request for electronic version of whatever documents they need from any bank anywhere in Nigeria while staying in Abuja
