greggng: Some of us sometimes pretend to be ignorant of what is happening in this country . When same law was amended to enable gaduje regime remove a sitting emir without any crime ...many if you said nothing. Sanusi accepted his fate and moved on for peace to reign . A new govt is in place to correct the mistake of gaduje by following due process so as to bring about lasting peace in kano ...now everyone is blaming the govt for cooing the right thing? You re asking what crime did bayero committed ? Well chieftaincy matters are exclusive right of the state House of assembly. The state assembly has amended there laws which enable Sanusi to be reinstated . This is justice . Anyone going against it should be arrested ..isa way of undemanding the authority of the governor who is the person in charge of the state in question .Bayero cannot be bigger than the state . He should accept his fate and move on just like Sanusi did. If everyone devife not to obey state laws will there be democracy ...Those backing bayero is the problem here .
You are the one who is the problem. We are all following the issue right from the grand father's time. So we understand the roles everyone is playing right from the time of Kwankaso till date. The question is "why would the governor arrest the one he has dethroned"? Why would the governor prevent the one he has dethroned entry into the State? What is the offence? Since when is dethroning someone now a criminal offence against the one dethroned? You cannot arrest anyone based on presumptive offense.
These are those who know it's in the best interest of the country immediately purchase an urgent new aircraft for the President and Vice President. But it's not in the interest of the nation to pay a living minimum wage to the common man.
Ofodirinwa: It is doomed forever. There's no logical reason for someone to live in or do business there other than being a native. They land is low value and infertile, weather is bad, worst pollution in w/Africa, high poverty, high illiteracy, kidnapping, etc
I'm sure all you wrote is what you read from Google like Gringory.
Metrofox: You are a big full .. the Igbos will not want to join but for the Yorubas in Kwara you are 100% sure they will want to join south west. Stupid people
Congratulations.. Congratulations, you are wisdom personified.
Hungry: Anyone who still desires to eat food, food crops, fruits and any food supplements to aid the physical growth and nourishment of the body. Anyone who desires to add or make an increase of what he lacks or what he already has for keeps for future use.
Anyone who is alive and so desires to remain alife.
The World Bank and her sister IMF does not need to tell us. We are well aware that this CBN governor will most likely be worse than the previous. They only know economics written on paper. They can't translate it into reality. Let him continue with his trial and error approach. E still good say it will be written as an achievement to have risen to become governor of a nation's central bank.
senatordave1: Hon. Benjamin Obaseki, brother of Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, has resigned his membership in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing internal turmoil and a disconnect between the party leadership and its members.
In a resignation letter to the Oredo local government chairman of the party, Benjamin highlighted the crumbling state of the PDP under its current leadership.
He said, "I am convinced it is time for me to leave for my growth as the leadership of the party has lost touch with its members and hence become insensitive to my plight," pointing fingers at the top brass, including his own brother, the governor.
Blaming the dire state of the party and lamenting the intense infighting at the state level, he added, "It is a pity that the infighting that has engulfed the party at the state level will consume the party, and I do not intend to be consumed alongside."
He warned that the party was on the brink of self-destruction as he expressed deep regret ove

Josephkabila12: what do you mean by rule for ever, with regional government your region can be better
That is not a criteria. If States like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Rivers , Ogun, Kwara, Kogi, Taraba, Abia, Enugu and even the FCT is still not better as single units, is it when they are collapsed bringing about 5-7 States into regions that it will be more better?

When we compare ourselves to those in the USA and UK, we come back with our senses and procure Keke and grinding machines for our own.
You proposed that Yoruba speaking part of Kwara and Kogi, and even some part of Delta and Edo state be merged with south west to form Western region.
But in the case of south east, you didn't propose that the Igbo speaking part of Rivers, Delta, Benue, Kogi, Cross River, etc be merged together to form South Eastern region, rather to show your true colour of hatred, you are proposing that the Ohaji/Egbema region, one of the oil producing LGAs in southern imo state be removed from South East to form part of Southern/Niger Delta region. Is it not shameless daylight witchcraft?
I'm sure down along the writeup, he made mention of optional and what deems fit for people in those areas, where they would want to belong to. Nevertheless, it's only a proposal a d nothing more. The ibo speaking people in some(all) of the Southern States will not want to join the core Eastern States, so let's not fret about it.
Anyways it's a good start but to be able to achieve that a confab will have to be formed. But we don't need such now. It would be easier and better if all the States be completely and fully autonomous with them having full control of their resources or 90% control of their resources. There should be creation of more LGA and RCDA depending on each State's peculiarity. Whatever pattern we take there should be utmost decentralization of power. States who share the same ideologies though tribe and tongues may differ can come together to grow their economy by putting their collective resources together and sharing of resultant IGR.
Kukutente23: Lol. Nigerians and building castles in the air with empty wishes underneath. How many govs have you kicked out through elections? So you think LG will have full autonomy and the chairmen will turn true servants if the people? How many LG chairs are freely and transparently elected to start with?
Everything starts with a process. It all started with PDP, now it's APC. It may very well be another party in no distant time. Likewise same with the LGA which is even minute. There are areas where they may find it difficult, there are areas strong concessions will have to be agreed upon and upheld. It may be little, but we will get there till the appointed time for total separation and complete division of the country called Nigeria into smaller units like Ukraine and Haiti.
It seems like governors from Anambra State are pathetic with lies. Just as the governor is saying he is not receiving salary, I hope those he appointed as aides do not receive as well. I hope he is not been fed by the States' monies and all his overseas travels for whatsoever reason is not on the States funds.......
Zxcvbnmghtr: Local Government Autonomy will be granted by the Supreme Court, there is no doubt about that. There is also no doubt that Nigerians will still complain about their Local Government Chairman afterwards because Nigerians will always complain about EVERYTHING!!!
We all await the Supreme Court judgment to be in favour of the FG. On this the FG is fully reprrsenting the common man. When full autonomy is granted then let the LG chairman behave like the governors and see themselves been kicked out through the next elections. The democratic process will take some time, one day at a time.
Gbadugbakun: You went out with your friend to the bar, you ordered for drinks, but before they brought the drinks, you went out to make a call. When you came back, your friend has already opened it for you and even poured it in the glass.
You asked him why he did that, he said the waiter wanted to use the opener for another customer so he said let him kuku open it for you.
You move the drink one side and order for another drink. Why you guys finished drinking, you paid for the drink he opened which you didn't drink along with the ones you drank.
When you get home you receive a WhatsApp from this supposed friend asking you what you see him as, that are you trying to say he was trying to poison you? You try to reply him but he has already blocked you on Whatsapp. You try to call him but it's showing busy meaning he has blocked your number as well.
Did I do something wrong. Why would you open a drink and pour it out for someone when he didn't ask you to do so?
This is not the first time I'm coming across this here on NL. That person is a real suspect and wants to poison his friend. Even if your friend tells you to open the bottle of beer for him, you should not do such in his absence but when you go ahead to pour it into the glass, it already shows your level of seriousness to poison your friend through drinks.
LegendHero: At the banquet dinner tonight, President Tinubu spoke about the stumble that happened this morning.
He said “ I did my Dobale this morning as a Yoruba boy for Democracy Day”.
Baba is even joking with it. Below is his exact statement.
“Early this morning, I had a swagger and it’s on the social media. They are confused whether I was doing Buga or doing Babaringa. But it is the day to celebrate democracy while doing dobale (prostrating) for the day as a traditional Yoruba boy, I did my dobale.”
Believe it all at your own peril and demise. So it's this #2500 that is been stolen by some States Governors that after 8 years the EFFC and others are going after them for fraud and stealing the States money. Soludo did not include the monies received as security vote, that is not part of FAAC or IGR. You'll hardly come across any governor who doesn't tell lies especially when it involves defending the undefendable and making the unbelievable become believable.
Abuloma80: THERE WAS ONE MUMU IN OPERA-NEWS THAT WAS TALKING RUBBISH - THAT SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO TINUBU, THEN A NORTHERNER WILL RULE THE COUNTRY, WHICH MUST NOT BE ALLOWED. I TOOK MY TIME TO ANSWER OR EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS ON HIS RUBBISH WRITE-UP. SO I FELT TO SHARE TO MY THOUGHTS TO TOPICS THAT TALKS ABOUT TINUBU FALL OR SLIP...........
l am not praying too! But why the Anger and Frustration against a Northerner becoming a President Which part of the constitution that says so? When Yar'Aduwa's died there was no issue against Ebele Goodluck Jonathan becoming a President. It was a Smooth and peaceful handing over the Presidency to him. So why your dislike and hatred on a Northerner. Please be matured and see things rationally and objectively. Drop this your hatred aside and wish Tinubu well in his tenure as the President. It was a do or die affair for him to become the President. We all saw the desperation in him to be a President. We all saw how he brought in the word "EMILOKAN" it was an unfamiliar word to most of Nigerians! So disabuse your mind and keep Northerner out of this. Northerners (Atiku and others) were very sympathetic to what happened to him and many others (who don't have access to media) felt the same way!!! Please no offense intended, l am only expressing my personal view and thoughts, so l beg no insults nor attacks on me. l am only telling you how to be objective and unbiased on national issues like this. So l wish and pray for him well. Such a fall on an Old, Aged and Unhealthy person like Tinubu can be very painful and may have unwanted bad consequences!!!
Half truths don't do justice. There was not peaceful and smooth handing over to GEJ when Yar'adua passed away. We were all witness to the drama put up by the northerners. After all the hassles GEJ was made president out of an infamous doctrine of necessity agreed upon by the legislative house and the judiciary supporting it. It is to this that they have amended the constitution to include if a sitting president dies , that person will be replaced with another from the same geographic zone.
paulwelj: Social media was sent into a frenzy on Wednesday after President Bola Tinubu, slipped while boarding the parade vehicle at the venue of the 2024 Democracy Day celebration. The President, however, quickly regained his balance and continued with the proceedings without further issues.
In this article, 10 other world leaders aside from Tinubu, who had a momentary fall during a public ceremony have been highlighted.
1. President Joe Biden: In March 2021, United States President, Joe Biden tripped on Air Force One stairs while scaling the steps to Air Force One to Atlanta to meet with Asian-American community leaders on a massacre.
2. Robert Mugabe: In February 2015, Zimbabwe’s 90-year-old President Robert Mugabe fell down a staircase as he walked off a podium after addressing supporters at Harare International Airport.
3. President Gerald Ford: Former President of the United States, Gerald Ford, slipped on Air Force One in 1975 while visiting Vienna in Austria for talks with Egyptian President Anwar Sada.
4. Cuba leader, Fidel Castro: Cuban leader, Fidel Castro, in October 2004, fell off the stage in Santa Clara, Cuba. Castro broke his knee and arm in the fall.
5. Barack Obama: In March 2015, former US President, Barack Obama came close to falling down the steps of Air Force One. Obama was returning to Washington DC from a golfing trip in Florida when he bounded from the plane door only to lose his footing. He recovered and continued across the tarmac with the same spring in his step.
6. Mike Pence: In June 2020, Vice President Mike Pence had a moment remarkably similar to President Biden’s upward slip. Pence was filmed running, then tripping, up the staircase of Air Force Two.
7. Tommy Tuberville: In October 2023, Senator Tommy Tuberville, who has previously criticised President Joe Biden for falling in public view, was mocked online after a video showing him falling down a flight of plane stairs himself went viral.
8. Hillary Clinton: The then-Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in 2011, was boarding a plane to Yemen when she slipped to her knees at the doorway and was only saved from further embarrassment when an aide gave her a helping hand.
9. Vladimir Putin: The Russian leader who loves to display his aura, saw himself on the floor during a 2019 hockey game he played in. He was doing a victory lap around Sochi’s Bolshoy Ice Dome and applauding fans when he slammed on the floor.
10. Boris Johnson: The former United Kingdom prime minister, was a victim of an epic fall after he tripped and landed on the floor during a charity tug-of-war game at a World War I commemoration event with Britain’s armed forces in 2015.
casualobserver: If the people didn’t want pilgrimages they would reject govt spending money on pilgrimages. Just like you would reject schools if you don’t want schools. Disavow yourself of the mindset that you have a right to determine what is anybody’s priority service from government. It’s called tolerance.
One could also argue It is also equally abnormal for government to deploy valuable government resources to quell self inflicted instability and insecurity in certain regions. I am sure the money spent on insecurity in the SE every year exceeds the money spent on pilgrimages. You could say if you want to go on pilgrimage pay for it yourself just as you could say if you caused insecurity in your region fix it yourself. You see you are not in a position to dictate what should be a priority service to me, neither me to you. This is why the old national anthem is needed to ram home that tribe and tongues differ and stop looking at things as if everyone must share our views on life.
I see, I guess that's the reason we are where we are as a country because of the old national anthem where tribe and tongues differ not in corruption.
casualobserver: Pilgrimage is a social service, that’s the function of government to provide social services. I don’t agree with it but for a section of the population that is what they want from the government. Government exists to provide social services for 200+m people not to use half of the whole income to pay the salaries of 1.2m largely indolent civil servants .
The point still stands the output of the average Nigerian worker is only N150k a month. It is from output one is paid. If you have a business you cannot pay your staff more than your income from sales…so also a country cannot pay it’s workers more that the output of the country. Nigeria has been unproductive and entitled for too long, now the chickens have come home to roost.
How did pilgrimage now become a social service? How many countries offer such as a social service or we just like doing abnormal things because we don't know what to do with money and since it's government money?
Any body supporting this statement made by this Minister is mischievous. He can walk in the shoes of his predecessor. What happened to the savings they got from the removal of subsidy? Why don't the government offer certain services to certain categories of the civil servants and pay them what that meagre amount they want and let's see how long the government can render such services!!!
Government employment is not "slavery". It's a privilege. A privilege that many Nigerians earn by bribery, or by nepotism and tribalism (what we call "connect". Most government employees are lucky to be there at all when there are far more deserving people who don't have those jobs because they don't have a "connect". Do you understand that it is the Nigerian taxpayers who are struggling in a very harsh economy who will be paying the ridiculous salary demands of those government workers? Why should we subsidize the struggles of government employees when we're also having our struggles?
I am sure government workers are paying taxes as well or are they not? So ridiculous as it may, we are all paying taxes directly and indirectly no matter the ridiculousity.
