Economic Context:

Minimum wage is now ₦70,000.


Using the law of advancing hardship, calculate the probability of a civil servant with a family of 5 building his own house before he retires.

Take Tinubu/APC as constant, c.

A civil servant with a family of five already and earning the minimum wage of 70k is most likely not depending on that minimum wage irrespective of the inflation and it's ripples..

What Atiku meant was that if PBAT is going to promote local based products and local content then the President, Presidency and all Ministers should show such example first and the masses will follow.....


PBAT is yet to have in his convoy a vehicle that is being driven by gas but he is promoting same......

Young lady, I am speaking facts not hearsay


Listen, I came down to Lagos because of that 2023 Presidential election. I manned the 3 polling units in my estate. We even did a casual bet with APC men that Labor will win all the 3 polling units, at the end, Peter Obi won all the 3 polling units, we all were there and counted it; APC, PDP and LP reps and voters were all present as we counted and Obi won Presidential with wide margins, PDP won House of Reps and APC won Senate, we copied results and left as the INEC officials struggled to upload the results on irev.


To my greatest surprise the next day, the result they uploaded on irev showed that APC/Tinubu won all the 3 polling units Obi won and he won with wide margins followed by PDP/Atiku that came third.


Honestly only God will reward Tinubu, INEC and all supporters of that injustice against Peter Obi just because he is Igbo.


Nigeria is going nowhere until you guys repent and stop supporting glaring evil.


When I showed the result to a very popular APC man in my estate, a rich man, he laughed at me that didn't he tell me and others not to waste our votes on Obi that Tinubu will win?



You can imagine the audacity. Whenever I remember the incident it still hurt me till today, so don't bring back those ugly memories please

You and some persons manned 3 polling units and at the end of the day you hand copied the votes counted and you left the polling units.....


If I may ask, were you in contact with the LP polling unit representative and what exactly happened to the duplicate copy that the LP polling unit representative was supposed to have as evidence of participating in the election and as proof that voting was done and all were in agreement?

Not rocket science but Jonathan couldn’t do it.

PGEJ couldn't do it because he had no agenda whatsoever because he was no politician.

With PBAT there is an agenda and for starters there is a Southern Agenda and much more to come.
The real deal will be 2031 elections which side will take the leadership.

CreativeOrbit:
Calling for accountability from public officials, including Senator Akpabio, is a legitimate and essential civic responsibility.

In any democratic society, the public has not only the right but also the duty to question and scrutinize those in positions of power—especially when serious allegations have been raised, whether these allegations have been fully substantiated or are still under investigation.

Upholding transparency and demanding integrity from leaders should not be misconstrued as bias, but rather recognized as a cornerstone of good governance and the rule of law.

You will only succeed in dribbling yourself and just as Sen. Natasha you will not respond to the direct questions asked.
I guess you'll respond only in court.

If the present oba of Benin join his ancestors and another one is to be crowned, who will give staff of office to the newly appointed king?


I know u are a kid so I have given u pictures to lecture u

So far it's a governor that gave him staff of office same governor can sack him, if not that u are kid u will understand that kingship have been placed under governor n the king can never be more than the governor.

Tell me thank u sir for schooling u free

You seem not to understand what he has been trying to explain to you....

The Benin monarchy system is quiet different from all others practiced in Nigeria.

Just because the State Governor gives the Oba of Benin a staff of office doesn't mean the governor can dictate for the Oba.

The Oba remains Oba without the staff of office for it's not the staff that makes him Oba or gives him authority and power over his kingdom.
As far as history can tell one, there will be no governor in Edo State that will want to go into unnecessary contentions with the Oba of Benin.
Except such one is sent by the Almighty God and there must be a reason and it will be very clear to the individual.

Rossikk:
Good one.

Vision is needed.

Nigeria is not like Ghana with 25 million people, whose power issue can be solved with 1 or 2 power plants.

By 2045 Nigeria, currently at 250 million people, will be over 400 million in population, so we need a comprehensive plan to power the entire nation.

Vision indeed is needed but there's no outright laid down plans to achieve such in Nigeria.

Nigeria is not currently at 250 million for that is just a political estimation and we will not be over 400 million come 2045.

I am a certified data quality manager and I understand all of these things and how it's been done.

LordBiden:
Still doesn't change the fact that Nigeria is the giant of Africa.

We have our own indigenous car assembling plants.

God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.

Since you started hearing Nigeria is giant of Africa, have you asked yourself where is the giant in Nigeria?


A country that lacks infrastructural development, human capacity development, lack of basic amenities and utilities and have been overtaken by a country that came and bought oil palm seedlings years ago from us.....

What are we giant for ?

Reality star, Nengi opens up on her post-partum struggles as she responds to criticisms over her outfit to a recent event.

It would be recalled that some months ago, Nengi had announced the arrival of her first child with her partner.

She was recently seen at an event in an outfit that left little to the imagination.

Many netizens had taken to their comment section to express their disapproval of her fashion choice, especially now that she is a mother.

She took to her Instagram page to reveal that she is still healing from the childbirth experience.

Nengi added she intends to make use of any opportunity that makes her feel like herself again.

In response to the criticisms over her outfit, she noted that she would ensure to wear clothes that cover her body appropriately next time.

Her words …

“2 months post emergency C-section. Not cleared for the gym yet.
Still healing, still learning to love this new body even
though sometimes all I have is a tiny thread of confidence.
And I’ll take every little moment that helps me feel like me
again…”

In another post she wrote …

“Okay okay next time I’ll
tie wrapper
and head
tie.. y’all happy now? Lol”

People like her do all these because they still see and have people who will tell them sweet nothings.


No sense in dressing and this is the person the Bayelsa State Government and Governor gave appointment as SSA " Face of Bayelsa Girl Child".......that is how they want the girl child in Bayelsa to be dressing for they have shown them their role model in Nengi.

It seems like the Kano State government and governor likes to put itself into plenty controversy and controversial issues.
So they still have SG/LG joint account !!!!

We are awaiting Emir Bayero to make a pronouncement against this through the appropriate channels.

Kindly listen to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan if you continue to request evidence:

Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has strongly criticized Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Olisa Agbakoba, for demanding that she publicly present evidence to substantiate her sexual harassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio. In a formal letter dated April 30, addressed to Agbakoba’s chambers, she reiterated her resolve to pursue the case through the appropriate judicial channels—specifically, the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory—affirming the veracity of her claims.

Akpoti-Uduaghan firmly rejected Agbakoba’s call for a retraction, asserting that his demand for premature evidence disclosure not only misrepresents standard legal procedures but also disregards established global protocols for handling sexual harassment cases. She emphasized that the evaluation of evidence falls strictly within the purview of the judiciary, not public discourse.

Furthermore, she condemned Agbakoba’s approach as an attempt to undermine due process, warning that any effort to circumvent proper judicial protocol risks eroding the rule of law. She also accused him of engaging in a media campaign aimed at swaying public opinion, stressing that such conduct compromises the integrity of court proceedings. Akpoti-Uduaghan maintained that justice must be pursued within the legal system, not through external pressure or media influence.

(1) Is Sen. Natasha the one that will take the case to the Court especially the HC since she is the one who is dragging the name of the SP ?

(2) Or Sen. Natasha wants the SP to drag her to court where she will formally present her evidence?

CreativeOrbit:
I am writing to formally address your message, which is replete with unfounded assertions, inappropriate demands, and offensive implications that require a clear and resolute counter-response.

Your suggestion that Senator Natasha must either produce evidence immediately or “remain silent forever” is both unreasonable and dismissive of the complexities surrounding allegations of this nature. The legal and personal processes for addressing such claims are not dictated by arbitrary ultimatums. Your flippant reference to “selection not erection” is not only irrelevant but also unprofessional, detracting from the gravity of the issue at hand. Furthermore, your insistence that she reserve evidence solely for the courts ignores the reality that public discourse often accompanies legal proceedings, particularly in matters of public interest.

Your threat that Senator Natasha will “never get another election from her constituency” and that “no court will rule in her favour” unless she complies with your demands is an outrageous attempt to intimidate and prejudge her case. Such statements are not only speculative but also undermine the democratic process and judicial independence. The validity of her allegations should be assessed through evidence and due process, not through coercive rhetoric or assumptions about electoral or judicial outcomes.

Most disturbingly, your claim that Senator Natasha’s actions, if unsubstantiated, will “send a bad message about the women folk” is deeply regressive and offensive. This assertion unfairly generalizes her conduct to all women, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and implying that her actions reflect on an entire gender. Such a statement is not only irrelevant to the merits of her case but also contributes to a culture that discourages women from coming forward with legitimate grievances.

In conclusion, your message is an unacceptable blend of intimidation, prejudice, and misinformation. Senator Natasha’s allegations deserve to be evaluated through a fair, evidence-based process, not subjected to your baseless demands or inflammatory rhetoric. I strongly urge you to retract your statements and adopt a more responsible and respectful approach to this serious matter.

In civilized countries where responsible people bring up allegations, they don't just say it in public and stop there. The moment they make it public, they immediately head to the court, file a case against the individual whom they have accused for the alledged crime and summon the person through the court.
But in Nigeria, we have a gathering of comedy folks who claim to be intelligent, educated, smart but they are only that to their like-minded gullible followers.

It is very good AriseTV is tilting this way and much more. Let Sen. Natasha bring her evidence or remain silent forever and not come up here with selection not erection and also not tell us only give such to the court for proper judicial process.....

She either comes out clean or she should know that she will never get another election from her constituency and no court will rule in her favour. This her very act If no evidence comes from her will send a bad message about the women folk.

KingOfPeaceJoy:
Empty !

Akpabio won't be wasting his time on that.

The case is just like those who went to court with emotions and sentiments wanting the court to declare that they won election but they don't have any proof to show.
All they have is alledged to win but not.

The Nigerian gullible spirit is speaking through her......
Was she not brought as the leader to fix the so called whatever issues that is bleeding the conservative party.......

Imagine, the loss that she has brought her party and she's crying foul of her removal not solving the issues......
Typical of a local Nigerian politician....

TempleHouse:
Sorry, you don't have to bring her personal life to this narrative.
What of other women who have experienced similar thing and have no platform to speak out ?
Are they too had children for multiple men ?

Is Natasha the first woman to accused Akpabio of sexual harassment ? No !
The NDDC women also accused him of the same behaviour!

Donald Trump with many moral jargons is American President today and was convicted for paying the prostitute !
How about our past leaders who are Men ?
They're married with multiple children outside their marriage including Tinubu.
The matter on ground is to address the common behaviours of powerful men towards women in our society.
In abroad, Akpabio will never have behaved in such manners because there's law that protects individuals in the society.

Let's call a spade a spade !!

How can one separate personal life from public even in a case that seems to be of personal issue that was brought forward!!!!!


A woman of her status should have known better than to wait till after there was a seating arrangement controversy, then she started to tell Nigerians about her escapades with the SP and how it has turned into a sexual harassment.......


I wonder where it was said that some of those remarks were made in the car where her husband was present as well.......

Well, let's see the down play of it all.....

Even the female Senators in the legislative house are not standing with her and many of these are older and her senior in all aspects.

TempleHouse:
It's a fact that beautiful ladies in Nigeria experienced sexual harassment.
Period !
Thousands of ladies have lost careers because they refused to play along in the offices, banks and various institutions across the country.

We have to face the reality and address this menace.

You are addressing the menace after how many months or years have gone past?

She's making it known to your likes because there was a seating arrangement in the house that was changed and which affected everyone!!!!


She's making it known also because she was removed from the committee she was out it even as a first time senator because that position was enjoined by the former senator from her State and constituency!!!!

Indeed beautiful women suffer sexual harassment from men and that was how she alledged that Reno Omokiri sexually harassed her in time past as well....


Was that how she was sexually harassed that she had several children with several men before the present one who is her husband!!!

SarkinYarki:
This professional black mailer known as Prof Mgbeke should rest , nobody believes her paid for lies

It is good nobody believes her and she still get paid.....

But you all believes Sen. Natasha who has in past times has alledged many persons to have sexually harassed her while bearing no evidence forward?

KillahPriest:
That is the koko of the matter. You cant tarnish my image with sexual harassment allegations and think I wont crush you to baby powder via all legal means. Akpa bobo must sue Natty babe to court for libel and defamation of character , I dare her to produce any damn evidence she has in court. I stand with my Senate president

She doesn't have any evidence whatsoever.

It's only in Nigeria where you see people who claim to be educated, literates and socially exposed with right moral upbringing will bring a sexual harassment allegation to public knowledge against another person without evidence and without taking the matter to Court and expects the person whose character is been defamed to go to court!!!!!!

I guess that was how it was done to President Bill Clinton and it was Clinton who took the lady to court!!!!!
Since Sen. Natasha is the one who wants the SP to take her to court......

CreativeOrbit:
I'm not interested in your pointless, meaningless, and illogical anti-Natasha sentiment. Bye!

I should be the one telling you that and not the other way.

CreativeOrbit:
Your assertions lack logical consistency and factual grounding. Sen. Natasha’s initial public statement aimed to highlight grave allegations, while her subsequent commitment to judicial due process demonstrates respect for legal integrity—unlike your baseless insinuations.

Accusing others of lacking objectivity while resorting to inflammatory rhetoric undermines your credibility. If you seek justice, engage substantively rather than peddling conjecture.

It is very obvious that you did not read your initial comment that I responded to and that's the reason you still went on to spill another I don't know even though all that I mentioned was just your statements as you said were spoken by your lovely Sen. Natasha.

CreativeOrbit:
Kindly listen to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan if you continue to request evidence:

Akpoti-Uduaghan maintained that justice must be pursued within the legal system, not through external pressure or media influence.

I do not know who you stand with and if you're on the side of justice or emotional sentiment !!!!


If Sen. Natasha is condemning someone in engaging in media campaign and swaying public opinion as such compromises the integrity of the court proceedings......

Please is the above statement from her not hypocritical ?


Sen. Natasha publicly accused the Senate President and through his lawyer she has been asked to supply evidence publicly as well. But she is now saying that she will do such evidence through the appropriate judicial channels especially the FCT HC to affirm the veracity of her claims !!!!!

At what time did she realize that and why did she in the first instance make the allegations publicly when should have approached the appropriate judicial channels and why wait till now to voice such allegations when it has happened many months ago ?



Does Sen. Natasha look like someone who wants to go to court on that issue or probably she is still gathering sexual harassment evidences against the Senate President for something that happened to her!!!!

Maybe she knows there are Nigerians who don't have brains to reason objectively to resolve issues like this and would rather join the cart being pulled by the cow....

Deeper Life Ghana National Overseer, Pastor Edward Kofi Twumsiah, shares his scriptural reasoning behind the belief that it is unbiblical for a wife not to bear her husband's name.

He make this declaration at the concluded Deeper Life Global Easter Retreat.

To be honest, are these things of any spiritual value to ones righteous spiritual growth and christian living?


These are many of the things Apostle Paul kicked against when he said....
1Cor.6.12 - All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.


If a woman refuses to bear her husband's name, that is between she and her husband!

The Zulu tradition allows married women to retain their maiden name even after marriage and it's no big deal.

The Scripture honours traditions as long as it's not demonic and not contrary to the Word of God....

There are cultures where when a married woman dies, her body is returned back to her father's house and the burial is done there....


Whatever does not have any righteous spiritual value to ones christian life and living should not be even talked about.

franugo:
Hello landers.

So I got back from work today to see Prof Mgbeke Sandra Duru's video, while I did not watch everything from start to finish, I did notice some inconsistencies I'll like to point out.

1. Prof Mgbeke claims she does not know SP Akpabio but a review of her live video shows that he's saved in her phone and is actually one of her most recent chats. It's also shown clearly in the video @ 47 mins in, that she was in a voice call with him recently. Don't take my word for it, investigate by yourself.

2. Her failed attempts to pronounce some basic Igbo names in an attempt to seem posh we're easy to see through. This is a lady that lived and worked in the East for many years, some of those years were in the corridors of power in Imo state, how can she not know these pronunciations?

3. She has not explained why Natasha contacted her in the first place. Sounds ridiculous that Natasha will send such messages to someone she does not know (prof Mgbeke claims she didn't know Natasha till Natasha reached out to her via Whatsapp), sending messages that could destroy her if exposed to an untrusted and unvetted third party? How's that make sense??

4. Prof Mgbeke claims she has integrity because she was raised by Whites....(I have personal issues with that line of thought but I am trying to be free of sentiments in my review)...It is a fact that Prof Mgbeke has had dealings in the past with politicians in Nigeria, infact it is stated that she thought about forming a party to contest for imo governorship herself, and many allegations were made against her character, such a person valuing integrity is laughable. Show me a politician who values integrity, they're all the same to me, none of them impresses me (with the exception of one who shall not be named as they're not party to this shit show).

So there you have it, I tried to remain objective and impartial. My final conclusion, I think prof Mgbeke is being malicious and fraudulent in her assertions.

You have tried but yo huaven't done justice t the issue. Do you remember those armed robbers who sometime years ago robbed a bank in Kwara State, when Hon. Saraki was still SP and it was found out that in the mobile phones of one of the robbers, he had the SP contact details in it, the SP denied knowing them and investigations was done and I can't remember what happened after. But Nigerians stood on the side of Saraki because he was fighting the President of the he FRN as at that time and a majority of us the masses saw it as a plot by the FG.
Can you liken it to that of Prof. Ngbeke claiming not know Akpabio.
I do hope you know many of us have in our phones contact of people we can't truly say we know them or have any relationship with them whatsoever.

Now, back to the issue of Sen. Natasha...
I keep wondering why she brought up a sexual harassment allegation against the SP and she has refused to take the issue to Court!!!

Why did Sen. Natasha have to wait for how many months or years before bringing up the sexual harassment issue just because her seat was changed and she refused to abide by the rules of the legislative house !!!


So many things are really off about Sen. Natasha and judging by her past, she seems to flaunt her beauty to drag potential men into blackmail if they don't do her bidding....
