Dapo Abiodun's mugshot is everywhere on the internet , yet he is a sitting two-term governor in Nigeria.

Exactly! It's just like buying yam at 1k per tuber in Otukpo Benue state and trying to disprove someone else's claim of buying yam at 5k per Tuber at Mile 12 Market in Lagos.

Well, I live in the South Eastern state that is famed for cultivating rice and here foreign rice is barred so we majorly consume local rice that we buy directly from the rice mill, not supermarket stores so that may also be a factor.

I remember well cos I went with a bag from home to the rice mill that day, and when I got there, I discovered they had changed their bags so I had to buy the new one for N500. Na the rice we still dey chop for house, though e don nearly finish.

My total expenses that day;
Rice - 25k
Bag - 500
Destoning - 500

Total - 26k.

Una dey chop local rice? Seems rice is cheaper here so maybe I fit dey supply una. smiley
It is local rice that is bagged in those bags of rice on Bokku poster I Shared up there. That "Big bull" brand is produced and bagged locally by WACOT Rice Limited. They have a mill in Kebbi state, so yes it is local rice.

The price rice is sold by the average "Monday Omo Igbo oni rice " is almost same with Bokku's;

Foreign rice is way more expensive than those prices sha .

Edit

By the way, u claim u bought the rice directly from a mill; I think that in itself nullifies ur argument that the Twitter guy wasn't playing propaganda. He claimed the market/retail price was 55k which is not true. That means he was trying to use the price at the mill to argue the real retail price in the open market. That is exactly what propaganda is

Actually, the price of rice was around 50k in May/June. I know cos I got a bushel of rice (25kg/half bag) in mid May for 25k, and then the bushel price ranged from 22 - 28k at the rice mill, so it wasn't propaganda. I hear it's back up now though.
Well, Around same time I bought 25kg for 42k from a nearby store.

If u check my post up there, u will see evidence of Bokku store selling 25kg for 40k and 50kg for 78k around same period.

The guy posted on 17th May claiming 50kg was 55k and Bokku posted same was available for 78k between period of 11th to 24th May 2025.

Imagine awaiting trial for more than 8 years.

To anyone who stays in Nigeria, avoid anything that will make you reach the gate of a prison. Yes, we can only be careful to an extent, but your Eleda sef go know say you try.

Nigerian prisons are not what you'll wish on anyone. The whole process will render your life useless. Death no go kill you. Depression sef no go kill you.

No matter how u advise some people , they won't listen; dem plenty on social media wella. When I read some of them's takes I just shake my head.

Look at the two in the link below, on top matter wey no concern them they will spend 2 good months in remand before the judge even hears their case or appeal for bail. They carried placards alleging Mohbad's widow killed him. That one petitioned the police to have them arrested and prosecuted and the presiding judge has ordered for them to be remanded till September.

According to OasisX, it's 5,000 naira in Benin Republic, and without custom duty, it should be 7,000 in Nigeria.

There’s propaganda and there’s actual governance .

Below is a tweet from one of the useful ediots parading themselves as influencers who was gaslighting people with the reduced price of rice about 2 months ago .

About that same period he claimed rice is now 55k for 50kg , Bokku which is arguably the cheapest retailer of rice was selling 25kg of their cheapest brand for 40k .

Funny thing is u will see people who don’t live in Nigeria but supporting the government from afar will be referencing those tweets as evidence that prosperity is here grin

Economy: "We've seen it, the country is much better, it's more safer. There's increase, prosperity in the country." - Dr Tunji Alausa, Education Minister



This is the Modus Operandi of the current APC government, they will dish out so called facts/stats that don't align with the current realities of the everyday Nigerian and when u challenge if they will either call u blind or claim u are an enemy of good news.

I remember how there was a propaganda campaign on Twitter around may/June this year talking about how 50kg of rice now sells for as low as 50 something thousand naira; only for me to buy 25kg to gift to an acquaintance few weeks after for 40 something thousand. 🤦‍♂️

I don’t know when these people will realize that propaganda is not governance at all.

Old takers like Zule Zoo, African China, Zack Orji, etc alleged campaigning for Tinubu by sharing 500 and Biscuit at Mararaba



https://x.com/chukserice/status/1950318760369541243?s=46

I thought campaign season hasn't started yet and any form of campaign at this period is illegal according to the law because INEC is yet to release the elections' timetable.

Funny thing is if the citizens being governed wake tomorrow and decide they want to protest against the hardship they are enduring under the government, the police will saying they can't be allowed to gather and express their grievances.

Some people are claiming $100k awarded by Tinubu to each of the 24 Falcon players is too much. They N160m and 3 bed-room flats for each of the players is too much. I've been seeing this discussion on twitter.

Me I think na God wan butter the bread of those ladies and nobody should rain on their parade by dragging politics into the mouthwatering compensation they got from the president.

You can tell the president to address other issues like salaries of Lecturers, medical practitioners, etc. without making it seem like the players don't deserve what they have rightfully earned.

At least the money will set the home-based players up for life if they manage it well, even if they don't eventually get to play abroad. These set of players won't come years later to claim NFF or FG abandoned them after winning for Nigeria.

Are you following the news about abu abel arrest, they will soon release him a d everything will die down
I followed the news, but some people claimed he has been released, although I don't know how true that info is. They claimed he even did a Live Video on IG after the news of his arrest broke.

Whatever the case may be, the good thing is the promoter of the company he allegedly defrauded (Doyin Group) is an old money that cannot be threatened with his cult affiliations and most likely has higher connections than him in law enforcement and even in the judicial system.

I think what will happen is he either returns the over 200m he is due to refund them on the land or gets duly prosecuted. At least if he sells any of his luxury cars, he should be able to realize the outstanding debt he owes.

Can a student decide to waive a course after you've failed it? Once you fail it you have to re-register and pass it
Yes , u can waive an elective course if u have passed the total number of units required of you to graduate .
Let’s say over 8 semesters , wrote different courses with cumulative units of 160. Some schools may allow you to graduate after passing 155 units by allowing u to waive some elective courses u failed . They hardly allow I waive compulsory courses except maybe the senate just approve special waivers for that graduating year

That sharp turn would not need a “no U-turn” side over here, especially on a bridge. It would be expected that all motorists would know that it is unsafe and illegal to turn there.

Only a roundabout or a designated lane for those making a U-turn would make sense there.

Especially that one way own.

How can any body know a road is one way where he is just driving for the first time?

This looks like a failed attempt to excuse the police criminal activities in that area.

Why was the warning sign removed, if not to exploit more unsuspecting motorists
Personally, I feel once there's a visible sign warning motorists the police have a right to arrest offending motorists.

However, assuming everyone plying the road must know about the technicalities of that route without any warning sign is unfair.

For example, there are roads in Lagos that are allows two-way traffic from morning till 3pm. Once it is 3pm, that road becomes a one-way and u will see LASTMA and taskforce effecting arrest once it is 3.01pm. The link bridge between Egbeda-Akowonjo and Agege-Dopemu is a classic example of this. There is a road sign at the start of the bridge warning motorists.

Anybody arrested there have no excuse and I learnt LASTMA collects as much as 200k before releasing any arrested vehicle

That is why izzou's paddy guy failed the test in a civilised clime. It is expected that drivers will show a reasonable level of thinking and drive in ways that will not endanger anyone. Do you need a sign against one way? Do you need a sign to wear your seat belt? A warning so you don't drink and drive?

Do you need to be told to drive below 20km /hr in a residential area?
This bold is an assumption that may not be true.

I don’t live abroad and can’t claim to know for sure if there aren’t road signs for almost every potential traffic violation.

Why not let’s ask people who live abroad if there are signs for all of the things u mention up there or if drivers are just expected to do them ?

The roundabout is within your line of sight if you ply the road. It was the first thing I noticed when I started using the bridge. And the turn is actually very sharp.
More reason why a proper sign should be placed there to discourage any driver that may want to make a turn there.

[color=royalblue]You can make a case for the damaged sign and structure, without justifying the irresponsibility of these drivers.

A roundabout is a roundabout in Lagos, Ekiti, Gombe and Texas.

To turn at a roundabout, you go round it. How can you say someone is not aware?

If the government needs to start putting billboards to educate people on using Roundabouts, then we better start reissuing Driver licenses again.

Anybody wey dem chop obviously has money in his pocket to dash police. There is no reasonable excuse to illegally use a roundabout, especially when it is free.[/color]
I am not familiar with the particular road , but I know it is common sense for road signs to be installed on roads to prevent traffic offence.

It is the responsibility of government to provide traffic signs to prevent accident and prevent traffic offence.

Now if that is not provided and individuals decided to erect such signs should it be pulled down?

Nowhere did I justify irresponsibility in my post. I am simply saying there's an onus on the government to put in place warning signs on roads like it is done in normal modern society.

[color=royalblue]How is it exploitation when the person is intentionally breaking the rule?

A roundabout is clearly in your front. You leave the roundabout and turn at the beginning.

There's no traffic on the bridge. It's a new bridge, but people are so impatient to spend 5 seconds around it. As you no gree get patience, make Police help you chop your money

That's not Mile 2 though. It's the bridge connecting Alaba Oro to Second Rainbow [/color]
Some people(mostly strangers) probably don't know there's no turning there , hence the reason people who do erected a visible sign there.

I hope u know it is not everybody that plies a particular road know where to turn and where not to.

There's one like that around ICM in Ikeja but there's a sign there warning road users not to turn there. At least if the sign at this particular place in the video is visible, nobody will claim ignorance of the law.

Why did they pull the sign down?
