Thank God we still have someone like you that is not emotional with issues.
In this game with northerners, it was only Tinubu that was playing it against them, when he discovered the gut of Wike, he empowered him well, and that's what is happening. Those people have el-rufai, Kwankwaso even Tambuwal but who do south has? Oshiomole is old, Tinubu has pushed it to a point he needs someone younger, vibrant and more strategic which Wike possess. So that's the reason for alliance.
After 2027, we shall see the real game plan.
If not, the south will be overrun by this people without a single resistance, we will just be speaking English and typing on SM while they busy thudding the south.

It is well with us

Wallade:
Obviously, that is not in practice for now. That is the reason he can threaten to withdraw 10℅ of their allocation.

However, we must reprimand the Area Councils management, particularly the chairmen. Their attitude towards meeting financial obligations towards the teachers and education in Abuja is so sick and unacceptable

toolovely:
If PDP want to scatter APC, they should just make Wike the presidential candidate and see him dump Tinubu in seconds

saintmm:
Exactly what happened. You are so correct. I remembered telling people around me then that PDP has become too contented for a Wike to become the party father figure then.
Atiku was no where to be found. All those northerners were thought they were smart by collecting his money and think with their unity and numbers they can brush him aside and made a fool of him. All of them are now shocked by his political sagacity.
Wike is a good match for them. Let him give it to them massively. Southerners are not fools

ddippset:
How many people left the party?

Atiku and who?

Stop exaggerating....

He forced himself on the party with Rivers money.

Hijacking it and bringing all the National Chairmen.

ddippset:
Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

Eleph:
The Chief Mole Himself! The nemesis of the PDP, Wike.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think Goodluck Jonathan's selfish ambition was the root cause of the PDP's problems. Having spent 2 years out of the 4 years of Umar Yar'Adua's tenure plus another whole 4 years, Jonathan still insisted in running again for another 4 years even though, OBJ a southerner, has had 8 years on the seat while the North only had 2 years under Yar'Adua, do the maths, OBJ's 8 + GEJ's 6 equals 14 good years and GEJ still wanted more, the result of GEJ's greed led to the loss of power of the PDP at the centre. The core northerners felt cheated and agreived.
Only a fool would have expected PMB to lose the 2015 general elections under the newly formed APC going by the discontent within the PDP then which also led to the mass exodus of most of the major power brokers and big wigs of the PDP to the new alliance of the APC whose major aim was only to grab power, mismanage the economy and to continue to project falsehoods and nothing more.

Skydivine:
Still, I do not see anywhere in all the Bible verses you cited where it says not to swear by God’s name.
From all the verses, it would appear that the Bible is mostly concerned about false testimony, in other words swearing in vain with the name of God.
What is vain? This is a disrespectful or irrelevant rendering of Gods name. Usually, it pertains to worthless and false oath. Don’t claim what is not true in God’s name.
When you swear with Gods name, it should be declaration of truth, in something you have done or intend to do.
Have you considered why elected officials are sworn into office under oath- in the name of the God they worship?
I might be wrong but it’s my interpretation of the cited verses.
The summary of it all is that we should watch our mouth because that name is sovereign.

Skydivine:
Hmm. I didn’t know it’s wrong to swear by the name of God.
I thought it was only wrong to swear in vain. Meaning don’t swear if your are not telling the truth.

VanuatuWycombe:
I swear to God. I am not even exaggerating.

The engineer is a Nigerian that has been building for years.

It may not mean he doesn’t know what he is doing as an engineer. It may mean he was building to the standard his client wanted.

What even led to him saying that was when the buyer was trying to price down the properties because he didn’t see them. I guess that was why his engineer said what he said.

Right from building the first block, we have maintained the quality.

Three senior masonry workers left the job because we insisted they dismantled anything laid that didn’t conform to our standards.

A lot went into the work. Even the carpenters we used said they had never been detailed like that kind of work in their entire career.

cutecommend:
Every salvation experience must come with a valid encounter, situation, happening, place e.t.c, but a person may know the encounter, happening, place and situation, and may not know the exact date. For example, if uneducated people were preached to in a village and they got saved, they may not keep record of the date but may know what happened and the place the salvation encounter happened. So do not judge people who told you of their salvation encounter without remembering the exact date.

It is a good thing to know the date you got born again.

Today is another day to have a date for your salvation. So please humbly and genuinely say this: Lord Jesus, today is a good day, please forgive all my sins, come into my heart, break the yokes of sin, be my Lord and personal Saviour in Jesus name. Amen.

Attend a good church.

Happy Sunday to you.

VanuatuWycombe:
Yes. I know. Lots of substandard materials out there. That’s why I am very choosy when procuring. I chose tested and tested materials for finishing.

That’s why I am an advocate of quality things.
It’s good we don’t do it at all, if we can’t afford it.

We have been brainwashèd in Nigeria to be a landlord by force. So people start building nonsensè, all the name of: WE HAVE MOVED TO OUR SITE.

The properties I built for sale here are great testimonies of what I always talk about qualities here.
When a buyer sent his engineer to come and check them ahead, the engineer said: OGA, THIS HOUSES ARE BUILT BETTER THAN THE ONES WE BUILD FOR YOU O.
The buyer said: HAA. IT MEANS YIU HAVE BEEN BUILDING RÛBBISH FOR ME SINCE.

After ending the call, the engineer said he’s trouble for saying such thing.
There’s nobody that got to the property and won’t say we really really tried.

WanderTryangle:
Your attempt to trivialize the matter with insinuations about “alternate monikers” and sarcasm regarding the judicial process only serves to reveal your lack of understanding—or deliberate misrepresentation—of how legal proceedings function. Unlike your dismissive tone, Sen. Natasha’s approach is grounded in procedure and evidence, not political theater.

It is both misleading and irresponsible to imply that a lawyer’s duty begins and ends with filing a case. Serving a summon is part of due process—something that seems foreign to you, as you’ve conveniently stated you’ve “never entered court before.” That may explain your reckless confidence in publicly commenting on matters you clearly do not grasp.

As for the assertion that only Sen. Natasha “knows where it was dumped,” your deflection is noted. The truth does not need to hide behind sarcasm. Evidence speaks for itself, and the timeline of this case will not bend to political strategy or delay tactics. The law will take its course—whether that’s before or beyond 2027—and when it does, no feigned ignorance will serve as a shield.

TTPAAR:
Cooking alone at home.


U can hardly cook with 800, but can get an averagely nice meal with that.

WanderTryangle:
It’s deeply ironic to see someone so concerned with due process while simultaneously making inflammatory assumptions based on incomplete information.

Judicial proceedings often involve delays that have nothing to do with leniency or neglect.

Making sweeping accusations from the sidelines, especially without insight into the legal complexities or procedural stages, only highlights a lack of understanding.

If there’s genuine concern for justice, it should begin with respecting the process—not distorting it to suit a narrative.

BafanaBafana:
From my experience, if you stay alone, eating out is cheaper. If you doubt it, calculate the actual cost of preparing a meal, check how many times you will eat that meal and then compare how much it will cost you to buy that number of plates of the same quality of meal outside.

Further more, consider the time and labor cost.
You go to the market to buy food stuff
Prepare to cook
Do the cooking.
Be cleaning while cooking.
Go out to a nearby shop to buy something you forgot to buy in the market.
Finish cooking.
Wash the dishes after eating.

All these after buying food stuff with your money o
Meanwhile if you go to a restaurant, all you do is eat and leave.

So gents, eating out is way cheaper.

How will Uba Sani do much when El-Rufai has already mortgaged the future of the state. Most of their resources now go to repaying debt and interest courtesy of El-Rufai loans.

dalass:
Until I see a positive impact in the economy and living conditions of Nigerians, all na wash.

State governors don't have any power over the floating of the naira. Neither do they have any say on import/ export matters and FG infrastructures..., that are so rundown, they're eyesores...these things are killing businesses and general prosperity of the populace.

Olaide1295:
The NLC itself push government into making terrible decisions.
Obasanjo took correct decision to sell off the refineries in 2006, but NLC protested and forced the govt to reverse that decision.
Now we have spent even more billions of dollars reviving dead assets.

Good policies are usually painful in short term. Even the power sector subsidy which is still ongoing needs to be stopped if NLC can bear the pain for long term economic success.

Tinubu's Anambra Visit: APGA Members, Soludo Support Groups Stripped of Uniforms, Warned

Ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's visit to Anambra State today, the Presidency has directed members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Governor Soludo Support Groups not to wear their uniforms during the President's reception.

Sources close to the matter revealed that this decision was made to avoid giving the event a partisan tone.

According to insiders, the President's visit is primarily in response to an invitation from Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary of the Commonwealth, who is hosting an event at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka.

The President's political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), had expressed concerns that the visit could be perceived as a vote of no confidence in their governorship candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, especially given the timing in an electioneering period.

A source familiar with the planning of the visit confirmed that the ban on uniforms was one of the conditions set before the President agreed to attend.

"This APGA uniform issue is one of the conditions given before BAT agrees to come," the source said.

Following this directive, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, Special Adviser to Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, issued a statement informing attendees of the President's reception to dress in Mufti.

"This is to inform you that everybody coming to Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka for the reception of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu tomorrow( today) should be in Mufti," Dr. Obiogbolu said, adding, "Please, nobody should put on APGA clothes or Support Groups uniforms."

The move aims to emphasize the non-partisan nature of the President's visit, focusing on the commissioning of projects executed by Governor Soludo's administration, without more.

How are those "bills" that have been passed working for you Electricity bill that has translated into not having light at all?😔 @Mr I know-it-all?

They go abroad and see better social security there, they can't do same here. They see better security, lailai they only want to oppress us with security officers. They see correct infrastructure, they are sitting ducks here. Healthcare nko, they will rather carry our taxpayers money to travel and treat themselves and their family abroad.

God is the judge..

Once again, the suspended Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District at the Senate was not in Court today when the suit she filed against Senator Godswill Akpabio and Mr. Mfon Patrick came up for hearing.

The Senator was represented at the hearing by Barr. O.U. Ugbogbo. In the suit filed since February and marked CV/754/2025, Senator Akpoti claimed she was defamed by Mr. Mfon Patrick, a Senior Legislative Aide to the President of the Senate.

Curiously, Senator Godswill Akpabio was also sued in his personal capacity. But since after filing the suit, only the office of the President of the Senate has been served with the originating process and no attempt has been made to serve others.

When the case came up today, Senator Akpoti's lawyer could not explain to the Court why processes have not been served on Senator Godswill Akpabio and Mr. Mfon Patrick since February when the case was filed.

Apparently infuriated by Senator Akpoti's Lawyer's obvious ignorance of the High Court Civil Procedure Rules, the presiding Judge thundered, "don't come and stare at the ceiling. You have to be serious about this case and resort to the Rules".

Counsel for Mr. Mfon Patrick, Fidel Albert, Esq informed the Court that he was appearing under protest as his client had equally not been served with the Court processes and only became aware of the case on social media.

Counsel to Senator Natasha Akpoti pleaded with the Court for more time to put their house in order, an application which was not opposed. Consequently, the case has been further adjourned to June 9 to enable Senator Akpoti file all necessary applications, if any.

A viral post on social media has stirred widespread debate after a Nigerian man based in the United Kingdom was reportedly handed a wedding expense list totalling ₦21,570,000 by his fiancée’s family in Nigeria

The controversial list was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @HOLARMEEDEY1, who expressed outrage over what he described as an exploitative demand placed on an immigrant who had only recently relocated to the UK less than two years ago.

“You reach UK e never reach 2yrs. You are not from a rich family. And your potential wife is not from a rich family either. But e reach time for wedding your in-laws are giving you quote that want to [b]unalive you [/b]and you cannot refuse,” he captioned the list.

The list reportedly included over ₦5 million for the event hall alone, alongside other substantial expenses. According to the post, the groom-to-be was also expected to buy the bride’s wedding gown and foot the bill for her parents’ outfits, with no financial contribution from the bride’s family.

Fair enough.

Keeping them honest (from federal to state to LG) is the way to go. BAT's problem though, is that he massively overpromised and he has greatly underdelivered. He made mouth watering campaign promises about jobs, exchange rates, security and the economy as a whole. He has not kept any of those promises.

People don't like being conned.

Fujiyama:
^^^
No.

Dead on arrival (DOA).

It won't work.

Stick to the issues.



If it won't work then Nigeria would not be what it is we are seeing and experiencing now....


^^^


This is something else. You are already getting the excuses in, barely halfway through the man's term in office. You are absolving the man, way ahead of time, before his inevitable failure.

Its not going to work.

The BAT administration will be held accountable. It will!



I am not giving you excuses but I'm telling you reality for we don't have and not practice anything ideally.
When no one can hold POBJ, PGEJ accountable, is it PBAT that will be held !!!

^^^
This is propaganda. Nigerians are not interested in it.

They want to see sensible, prudent action taken to improve their material condition...and the BAT administration has so far failed to deliver in this regard.

This isn't the time for some fables about Lagos. Nigerians want results!

My brother, I have write-off TINUBU in my book.. I don't expect anything good from him, atiku that want to press some Nigerians mumu botton. Why he never advise bubari for once... If atiku advise bubari same way he advising Tinubu now, Tinubu will not be the president
