Segedinho:
Can anyone verify this?

This is not war time, This is happening in Tinubu's Lagos. A truck load of yam was looted by hungry Lagosians.

There's RENEWED HUNGER in the land, I couldn't believe a time like this will ever come in my life time.

Election has consequences 📌

The truck of yam was not looted ; what happened was that the central mosque of Lagos Island ( moshalashi Jimoh ) bought a truckload of Yam to be shared to faithfuls to cushion the effect of hardship in the land .

Somehow people are not patient enough to decide to know whether it will get to their turn before the truckload finish , so as typical Nigerians it became a free-for-all. Everybody wan grab a tuber or two before everything finish 🤦‍♂️

The long and short of it is that serious hunger dey the land.

I think you are right on the oil security part, Jonathan would have been able to settle the boys, however I have a good suspicion that disaffected PDP people in Niger Delta started the oil theft as soon as they left Government. This suspicion occasioned by the immediate arrival of soot in Rivers State as soon as power changed hands and Wike entered. There was no soot in Amaechi time. The change of power changed the fabric of how oil was stolen and who by

Buhari major sin is continuation of his misguided capital projects even after the shale oil crash and the COVID oil crash. Those finished Nigeria. Ontop the fact they were not bringing in Forex due to the price and volume crash, CBN was using what little reserves we had as collateral for Buhari borrowing for capital projects. That's why our foreign reserves is non existent and incapable of defending the Naira. Buhari was a major disaster.

I thought APC support group said it was Jonathan that ruined this country by depleting our foreign reserves.

So the frugal and competent Buhari succeeded in making a rotten situation worse . Only God knows what Tinubu is doing to the already worse situation because this one that even Tinubu supporters 8 months ago are cussing him out now..... this first 4 years go long pass January wey person broke o

Incognito9:
Monerozi5590 😆😆

Just wait for him to come and tell u " Buhari is the president that invested the most in Infrastructure and security , therefore Buhari is not a disaster "

GloriousGbola:
You're probably right about that. I remeber calling our company security one Friday when I had a run in with police and their first question was oga have you been drinking? Apparently a lot of guys would get hammered, get in trouble and then call our security guys to engage the police

There is also a lot of drinking on construction site to 'warm body' which is another fking problem safety wise.

Even the police themselves ! Go to Hotel Campbell on Campbell street , Lagos Island . The hotel is beside the infamous police area A command headquarters popularly known as " Lion building "

You will see police men in broad daylight drinking and smoking with AK-47 rifles in their laps . Once they are high enough , they pick up their rifles , enter their patrol van to go for raids & stop and search duty all over Lagos island & environs .

Just imagine say u enter their hand in that state .

GloriousGbola:
That is why I wrote thw bolded. At least I Will see the bottle and make my choices. Unlike sachet which is stealth drinking. The guy may as well be taking swigs from a bottle while on the wheel if he has sachet alcohol.

At least with the bottle in your view you can make an informed decision.

Lolz

U are clearly a teetotaler; u don't know the ways of people who drink . Drink wey dem go don shayo while their bus is loading . Dem go just carry red eye come drive u.

Even marijuana that is banned in Nigeria ; these same drivers smoke it to their desirable level before proceeding to handle steering .

All I'm saying is that the ban will achieve little or no result .

Segedinho:
The next phase will be to ban alcohol ..Las las we go end up in sharia..



Anything to back bubu.....even if you sound stupid.....

Na to dey drive go Cotonou go drink every weekend . 🚘

GloriousGbola:
unpopular opinion - i am actually for banning of sachet alcohol because imho commercial drivers are their main customers. would you comfortably enter a vehicle with a driver holding a bottle of chelsea gin?



this nigeria where governors regularly jail bloggers?

Before sachet alcohol became a thing , commercial bus drivers have been driving under the influence of alcohol. Agbo sellers in parks sell paraga and agbo that are all alcohol which drivers buy to drink in small cups .

If the aim of the ban is to stop DUI , then the ban will not achieve any success at all. Drivers will just buy big Schnapps bottle and sip small small instead of drinking the smaller sachet

[color=royalblue]Don't you think you are changing the goal posts in relation to his comment?

He listed the name of the candidates, even when an Igbo was not voted. You cancelled it and put PDP.

But Obi and PDP was available during the last election. Why did they not vote for PDP, as you have proven?[/color]

Nihilist is only playing Devil's advocate. He wan whine unlimited , but na u dey enter the whining

Unlimited22:
Y'all are the real MVPs, man


You Yoruba guys who took insults from your own tribesmen and even strays from others (yes, I admit it) just because you wouldn't bow to the ridiculous idea that Tinubu was some sort of esoteric God who had prepared for Nigeria since when he was in his mother's womb like the prophet Jeremiah.

Iamoyindamola/Sod09 is another person I deeply respect, particularly because he's Muslim.

Igbos voted OBJ twice (even over Ojukwu), Yaradua (over Okadigbo who was Buhari running mate then), GEJ and Atiku. When e reach Obi turn them say we dey tribalistic.

Omo! I legit lost respect for a lot of people I know personally ; people I thought are educated and exposed enough to have grown above tribal hate . In fact I had to mute some people's WhatsApp status cos of the things I dey read therein dey turn my belle.

I knew who Tinubu was and I know he's definitely not what Nigeria needs at the time we just survived 8 years of Buhari's misrule . The people I know who supported Tinubu without calling me "omo ale " that I discussed his candidacy with; none of them was able to convince me Tinubu with his many bag and luggages is the right person Nigeria needs.

You are right that his supporters tried to make out a god-like image of Tinubu with propaganda but some of us just didn't buy it. I was just not going to ignore all the red flags and make a decision I will regret in the next one year .

ribbit:
If not sentiment, how will someone see tinubu with proven track record on a ballot and vote obi whom you need google to see his achievement.

It's like having the opportunity to have Guadriola as your manager but you started clamouring for Marcelo bielsa.

Yeah tinubu is a thief, but peter obi is a saint that never stole. That's how they fell into buhari's trap the second time and that one is now pardoning convicted criminals.

Tinubu is your last chance in that country, if you guys failed to vote for right candidate in 2023, well..

I have said my own.

BlueRayDick:
1. Tinubu is an embodiment of corruption.
2. Tinubu is nepotic and doesn't believe in merit. Nepotism is one of the ills that brought us to this point as a people.
3. Tinubu legitimize hooliganism in Lagos State. Some may argue that this is not as bad as it seems considering how it has reduced crime, but until you have an encounter with these guys being a law to themselves u will understand the danger it portends for our future.
4. Tinubu is physically sick. No one needs to remind you of how voting a sick Yar Adua ended for us neither does anyone needs to tell you how Buhari's constant attention to his health has affected Nigeria as a nation.
5. Tinubu is one of the major actors that sold the bad product called buhari to all Nigerians. His sense of judgement should never be trusted going forward

These are but few reasons why reasonable people are actually wishing Tinubu does not become Nigeria president come 2023.

ribbit:
1. Corruption that made Lagos 5th largest economy in Africa? Sign me up please.

2. Wrong. 90% of people who have worked with tinubu are not even related to him. Check the list of his commissioner to his politicial appointees. How many of them are related to him?
Nepotism is not your problem by the way. Your problem is lack of visionary leader with analog brain. You can put your son in position of power if he is competent. But that is not always the case with majority of your politicians. That's why no other state has come close to Lagos in every index.


3.The hooligasim that made Lagos one of the safest metropolitan city in the world? Again sign me up please.

Even your state without legitimate holigans, should we talk about the security there?
The danger that didn't show face in the last 20 years. But your state that didn't legitimize hooliganism is either battling with unknown gunmen or bandits because the hooligans there have nothing else to do.
Their governors have abandoned them.




4.And the physically healthy person you elected cannot fall sick or be diagnosed with awful illness after you elected him/her right?

5.Tinubu sold his party. And that's Same way the likes obi sold us pdp presidents or tried to sell corrupt atiku in 2019.


Any reasonable person will see tinubu is still the best among the rest.

But ofcos I don't expect sentimental people to see that.

Like I said, a word is enough for the wise.

In the Spirit of ThrowBack Thursday.

I just even noticed now that the guy actually thought I was Igbo when he was using words like "You can put your son in power if he is competent" , ".....your state that didn't legitimize hooliganism is either battling with unknown gunmen or bandits" Lmao

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Tinubu was drilled as the other candidates, I am sure some educated people would have slept at home that day, instead of voting.

Ask questions...Mba

They said we should use Lagos as his debate answers...

I go really vex if those Northerners are allowed to protest. Na dem give Tinubu him victory.

Even the Yorubas had doubts on his tenure (from the results); either they didn't believe in him, or they were tired of APC at the National level.

If you protests, Nga straight.[/color]

Dem say Trump no do debate so therefore Tinubu no need debate.

Make I even go look for that response they gave to my lengthy wailing on why Tinubu should not be voted for.

Remember when tinubu himself defended the herdsmen killing😂😂😂.

Asking where are the cows or so

I mentioned it here during the campaign season when people were trying to separate Tinubu from Buhari's government that Tinubu himself has always commended Buhari's steps all through his presidency.

I even shared screenshots of the glowing words Tinubu used to describe Buhari each year the latter celebrates his birthday. Even Itse Sagay wey dey serve under Buhari government dey criticize Buhari's administration steadily, but did Tinubu? NO!

Roland17:
The Sultan is a hypocrite, I am sorry! Where was his voice when his brother Buhari was in charge and the country struggled with insecurity, kidnapping, double digit inflation, hunger, massive corruption and other economic woes? If he decides to unleash his people, let him go ahead but he must ensure they remain in the North, Patapata Asiwaju and APC should suffer the consequences during the next election cycle for failing the nation.

Didn’t Buhari take Asiwaju to visit with him? Where was his voice then? Now that Asiwaju has inevitably increased “shege” to “shege banza” for everyone , he has found his voice because a northerner is not in power? These people are part of our problem. Obvious issues like Illiteracy wasn’t a problem when Buhari was in power but immediately a southerner takes power, illiteracy and poverty in the north is important.

The North powered Asiwaju to the presidency, they should enjoy the consequences of that decision alongside the entire country. This recent noise coming from the North about their suffering should stop because it is not isolated and shouldn’t be the reason we should address the nonsense going on in the country.

Yes the Sultan is a hypocrite no doubt! He chose to keep quite while his brother was there and was even ecstatic about Buhari handing over to Tinubu.

But do u know what else the Sultan is ? He is better than our southern brothers who are educated (some to postgraduate level sef), who could obviously see evidences of Buhari's misrule happening right before our eyes; yet they sang his praises to high heavens and justify every mis-step he made for 8 good years. The same people jumped onto the ship of Tinubu almost immediately he declared for presidency and continued their paid or unpaid(as the case may be) service of hyping the next disaster-in-waiting in the person of Tinubu.

Even as matter cast dem don dey talk of 2027 when nobody even know whether the country will survive this current year as one with the present turmoil we find ourselves in

U don't need to look far, u will see them around.

Spy360:
You know that when there is a bank robbery, the amount of money declared as stolen is usually more than the actual because the people that go to verify will also collect their own.

Don't let Agbados drag you into this kind of argument as it is a diversion and cheap excuse from reality currently on ground

No let movies deceive u o, this is not what happens in real life . There are records of every cash that goes in and out of the bank . Na only cash wey depositors caught up in the robbery never lodge with cashier fit dey unaccounted for . Every record of cash will be accounted for in the investigation that follows a robbery incident .

CrystalTiger:
Buhari tenure mad abeg..

Men were withdrawing cash direct from CBN..

This Emefiele looks like Sambo Dasuki case all over again. All through Buhari's 8 years no court could pronounce Dasuki guilty and send him to jail .

DSS held him in detention for 4 years ! No conviction whatsoever till they released him in 2019. Then in 2022 after almost another 4 years of silence , EFCC re-arraigned him in court and till now we don't know the outcome of that case.

Na why I no dey excited or fazed by the media frenzy about this Emefiele case for now. We don watch similar film before

At least five delegates from both states told The Gazette in separate interviews Tuesday that they were offered American banknotes to support Mr Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The delegate provided information under anonymity to avoid being accused of anti-party conduct that could carry severe disciplinary measures.

Whereas Mr Tinubu gave Ogun delegates $25,000 each to induce his acceptance as the party’s presidential flag-bearer tonight, Adamawa delegates said they received $10,000 each from Mr Tinubu’s surrogates. The delegates have converted on Abuja starting last week ahead of the primary scheduled to be held June 6-8.

“Ashiwaju’s people came here and they said we should support him because he has the best chance to defeat Atiku Abubakar,” a delegate told The Gazette. “Then they said they didn’t come empty-handed.”

Delegates from Ogun confirmed getting $25,000 from the former Lagos governor. They, however, said they rejected $5,000 from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s surrogates.

“The vice-president’s people initially said he didn’t have any money to give and advised everyone to vote their conscience,” a delegate said. “But suddenly they came back to say he wanted to give us $5,000 to support our transportation and hotel accommodation.”

The delegates admitted they rejected the money because it was smaller than what Mr Tinubu, perhaps the biggest contender for the ticket, had already offered. The delegates shared pictures of the cash gift they said came from Mr Tinubu with The Gazette.

At least one delegate claimed being shortchanged by Mr Tinubu’s surrogates.

“I don’t know what happened but they only gave me $9,000,” the politician said. “I am working now to get the balance from the person they sent to us.”

All of these and more happened before and during APC primary as well.

NB: Dollar to Naira was not more than N600 at black market rate when all these was happening o

Foundation member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly come to the rescue of Nigeria’s currency, the Naira, before politicians depreciates it out of recognition.

He noted that a nation’s currency is one of the critical indices of measuring the general health of its economy, stressing that when the currency nose-dives it leads to hype-inflation, gross unemployment and abject poverty, thereby worsening the nation’s security.

In a statement made available to journalists, Sunday, Okechukwu, who is also the Director-General (DG) of Voice of Nigeria (VON), decried the dollar rain during the recent Presidential primary of opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the National Stadium Abuja.

He cited the withdrawal comments of Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, a financial guru, saying that President Buhari should support the use of consensus method to ensure that the forthcoming APC presidential primary does not follow the PDP’s highest bidder Dollar Rain.

In his speech before withdrawing from the PDP primary, the former banker, Hayatu-Deen, said, “it is, therefore, based on personal principles and with great humility that I have decided, after wide consultation, to withdraw from this contest, which has been obscenely monetised.”

Okechukwu stated: “Albeit, our sister opposition political party has every constitutional right to elect whoever they want as their flag bearer; the Dollar rain is worrisome as noted by Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, who dubbed it obscenely monetised presidential primary.

“Sincerely, I congratulate His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar on his emergence from the opposition party primary. But, as a patriot and stakeholder in the Nigeria project, I am worried by PDP’s induced Dollar Rain, which led to unprecedented depreciation of the Naira.”

Therefore, Okechukwu called on President Buhari to consider the consensus option to be adopted in the APC presidential primary election to save the Naira.

He lamented the monumental harm PDP’s Dollar Rain did to the nation’s economy, saying “if that could happen in a party with about 731 delegates, imagine what will happen if APC with about 2, 322 delegates is allowed to indulge in Dollar Rain.”

And let’s not take it for granted; people are quiet, they are quiet for a reason because people have been talking to them.

We have been talking to them, we have been trying to tell them things will be okay and they keep on believing.

I pray to Almighty Allah that they will not one day wake up and say we no longer believe in you, because that would be the biggest problem because we can’t quieten these people as traditional, spiritual leaders and diplomats forever.

We have reached that level, people are very agitated, people are hungry, they are angry, but they still believe there are people who can talk to them, they believe in some of their governors, some other traditional rulers, and some of their religious leaders.

“Fortunately, some of us double as traditional and religious leaders.

“So, we have this onerous task of reaching out to everybody, calming them down, and assuring them things will be okay, and they should continue to pray and pray and still do something good because prayer without work will not bring anything.”

Abubakar also expressed concern about the millions of unemployed youths, noting that it poses serious danger to the country.

“We must find jobs for our teeming youths that are sitting idle and I have said it so many times, we sit on a keg of gunpowder, having teeming youths millions of them, without jobs, without food, we are looking for trouble,” he added.

Sultan of Sokoto subtly telling Tinubu that they ( Traditional rulers ) are the ones holding the leash on the masses preventing total breakdown of law & order over the current hardship imposed by Tinubu's administration .

White, Jorginho, Jesus, Saka, Saliba have all played for us this season while nursing injuries.

I hate the way Partey is doing like a new bride. FFS, he is supposed to be a leader in this squad. Now, he is out of Burnley's match with returning date unknown. At least Zinchenko dey do on and off.

A fully fit Partey in that squad eh, The whole league will feel it.

Vieira had a surgery in November but he is closed to returning.
ESR twisted his ankle in training. He jumped to avoid a tackle and baba got injured like that.
Jesus may make the squad.
Tomi is back
Timber had a setback

I don't understand how u people always get angry about players staying out injured . I understand that as a fan it's frustrating to see a good player miss crucial matches due to injury , but when a player is injured and the medical team certify him as being unfit there's u or the player can do about it .

An injured player is an injured player. Do u expect an injured Partey to force himself into the starting line-up or what ?

The koko is Partey is an elderly man suffering injuries that come with age as an African ; it is what it is . There's nothing anybody can do about it. Even we wey dey play 5-aside set , no be the way our body be 10 years ago e be now .
