It is good that the United States recognize Nigeria as a sovereign nation. Both countries are jointly involved in this operation. This is Nigeria, we are neither Venezuela nor Iran.

.. to hell with all terrorists

This is no big deal. She has never denied her Yoruba ancestry. She has problem with Nigeria, not with Yoruba.

If Carrick had started this season with Man United, they would've easily won the league ahead of arsenal and city.

This is not assumption; my opinion is based on the results he has delivered so far.

This jersey is beautiful, make I no lie. We need to go back to this design again for our national teams. ✌️🇳🇬

Nike over Adidas; any time, any day.

I will be very happy if combat sports could be made compulsory in all Nigerian primary and secondary schools. It is a very good way of encouraging bravery and self defense. We seriously need it, especially in this era of insecurity in the country. Majority of our youths nowadays are cowards. A schoolchild should be able to learn at least one of Judo, taekwondo, wrestling, karate, boxing or UFC before he/she completes O'level.

Physical fitness has strong correlation with mental capacity and function.

That is very apt and true 💯

A private driver of a man of God supposed to be a God fearing person and a strong believer in Christ. How come? 🤥

I heard those goats are not raised domestically but are picked up in the forest. How true is this?

This is the real OG... You really rocked that time. Original wears, not chinko o. Sometimes, it may not be more than just a pair of Bikers or Sanchos or Moccassin, then or three Levis or with Lee jean trousers with many DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Hussen, Guess by Giorgio Massiano, Gucci, Moschino, etc.

The wears we buy in those days were of top top quality, unlike nowadays. The first bikers I owned was passed down to me by my elder brother who also got it from our senior cousin. I still gave the same boot to my school junior and it was still in good shape.

tunjijones:
You forgot to mention Karl kani jeans and loafers shoe

Haaaaaaaa! Karl Kani!
Omo! 🤥

Skinny is good for the curvy

Some baby politician will not understand why APC pushes for a consensus candidates rather than digging out through primaries.

That it works in Kano does not mean it will work in other states. Ondo APC for instance is in serious crisis at the moment because of consensus arrangements. I just hope and pray innocent lives will not be affected.

The top 2 states on this list are also the most active states in the other room. If you never jam correct Benue or Akwa Ibom gal, walahi you haven't enjoyed anything yet. 💯 Fact!

But make sure you dey always play safe ooooo

harsysky:
So I should take your words or that of Oshiomole's for it? Dey play. If those businesses are halted and it still doesn't stop the killings, what happens next?

That's the matter to be discussed on the floor of the Nigerian senate. Oshiomole was only making a proposal. So don't get it twisted. The final decision will be made by the Senate. If you have anything against this proposal, send your petition to the Nigerian senate. Stop quoting me.

but he was making mouth yesterday that he had no business with APC, he was not an APC member, he had no interest in APC affairs, blah blah..

Less than 24 hours ago ooo 🤥

WizardOfNG:
Yes I understand your point. I have always insisted politicians and diplomats on both sides (Nigeria and South Africa) must act decisively.

It is not acceptable our fellow Nigerians lost their lives to xenophobic attacks.

I can therefore understand emotions are running high but I don't believe making South African businesses in Nigeria the scapegoats of our anger solves anything.

The bottom line is that those businesses you mentioned are mostly owned by their political class. These are the same people that have the political power but won't do the needful because they lack the political will. If their business is not threatened, they won't stop the attacks and get the attackers prosecuted.

harsysky:
Have you considered the multitude of Nigerians that will be out of Job when something happen to these companies?

Seems you did not watch the video. Oshiomole specifically stated that Nigerian interest in those businesses will be protected.

WizardOfNG:
MTN and DSTV are businesses. They cannot be held responsible for what ordinary South Africans do. If you build a great business in Ghana, do you want it destroyed when some Nigerians over there attack and kill some Ghanaians?

Your business must be destroyed or taken away from you simply because you share nation of origin with wrongdoers you don't know and do not even approve of their action? This is too ignorant from Oshiomhole abeg.

I hope you watch the video to the part where Oshiomole alleged that current south African president is the biggest shareholder of MTN. As a president, he has not taken any serious action to stop the xenophobic attack or to prosecute the attackers. But just recently when he heard the threat to nationalize MTN, he quickly released a statement to condemn the attack.

This headline is misleading. There was no clash during the interview. Rufai Oseni asked a very dumb question and Oshiomole gave him a very sound and well-articulate answer. That's just it.

We can all remember the story behind this picture 👇

Which of the PDP

Is it Wike PDP or Makinde PDP

Wadata plaza is currently occupied by Wike's faction

You are not a member of APC, but you don't want Fubara (an APC member) to seek reelection. Are you supposed to poke your nose into the matter of APC when you're not a member? You have destroyed your own party, go and rebuild it or STFU 🤫

5, 10 & 20 naira should be converted to coins. The lowest paper note should be N50.

A comprehensive report by the APC Screening Committee, obtained by SaharaReporters, on Monday, reveals that out of 98 aspirants who appeared for the exercise on May 9 and 10, 2026, only 33 were cleared, while a staggering 65 were screened out for various alleged infractions.

In a move that further deepens the political wedge in Rivers State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has disqualified several aspirants perceived to be loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara from contesting the party’s primaries for the Rivers State House of Assembly.

A comprehensive report by the APC Screening Committee, obtained by SaharaReporters, on Monday, reveals that out of 98 aspirants who appeared for the exercise on May 9 and 10, 2026, only 33 were cleared, while a staggering 65 were screened out for various alleged infractions.


The lead reason for the mass disqualification was anchored on Article 9.3 of the Party Constitution, which restricts the right to vote or be voted for to "only fully registered and financially up-to-date members".

However, sources within the party indicate that many of those disqualified are associates of Governor Fubara who recently sought a platform in the APC amidst the ongoing crisis in the state with his predecessor and Minister of the Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Mr Nyesom Wike, who had sort to control the state machinery.

The committee strictly applied the financial membership rule, contending that their nominations were endorsed by persons who failed to discharge their financial obligations to the party.

Among those listed as "Not Cleared" are Orubibanugha Timothy, Chime Eguma Ezebulike, Onyema Loveday Hechiaru, and Tonye Briggs Oniyide.

The screening exercise, held at the APC State Secretariat in Port Harcourt, was not without drama. The committee, chaired by Rt. Hon. Muraina Ajibola, reported an "incident of bribery" involving Mr. Tonye Garrick Tom-George, an aspirant for the Asari Toru 1 seat.

According to the report, Tom-George allegedly approached the committee and handed over an envelope containing money alongside his passport photograph in an "apparent attempt to improperly influence the screening process".

The matter was promptly reported to the police. Consequently, Tom-George was disqualified on the grounds of "inducement and attempted bribery of committee members".

The committee also noted a breach of decorum by Mr. Victor Oko Jumbo, who insisted on entering the screening venue with a retinue of security aides. This led to a confrontation with police officers on duty before security agents eventually brought the situation under control.

Beyond the political loyalties and bribery allegations, the committee cited several other technical grounds for the disqualification of the 65 aspirants: among them are: "Submission of unsworn affidavits; failure to present valid voters cards or party membership slips; conflicting dates of birth; invalid affidavits that failed to disclose material particulars relating to NECO certificates; and insufficient nominators, with some aspirants failing to secure the required three nominators per ward.”

Only 33 aspirants who successfully navigated the rigorous exercise were reportedly loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Wike. Among those cleared to participate in the upcoming primaries include Maol Dumle, Major M. Jack, Nwabochi Frankline, Enemi Alabo George, and Tonye Smart Adoki.

The committee, which included Hon. Ishaku Tanko Yamawo as Secretary and Samuel Danjuma as a member, concluded that the disqualifications were necessary to uphold the "democratic ideals and progressive principles of the Party".

However, the mass purge of aspirants linked to the Fubara camp is expected to trigger fresh legal battles and further inflame the volatile political atmosphere in Rivers State as the APC prepares for the House of Assembly elections.

Ifa has been updated just like the Bible

If you still don't believe Islam is the only way then I wish you good luck in Jahanam

Even your alfas and imams practice ifa on a low-key. Many of them get opon ifa which they use secretly. Not a joke, I'm talking fact.

Let's see how it goes. He has every right to participate in the primary.

I don't why you people talk with deceit as if you are blind about the unethical, nothing new game of politicd

So to you wike isn't an apc member

You heard what makinde said, you have seen such game before in Lagos about ambode

You people are just jesters

Is wike an APC member? Just say yes or no. I don't need your baseless explanation.

That's the right step to take by APC. Fubara is an APC member, Wike is not. APC cannot deny Fubara the right to participate in the primary because of Wike. You cannot destroy your own house and expect another landlord to take orders from you in his own house. Ko le werk.

Some courses are no more relevant in this era; they are outdated, but our universities still admit thousands of students every year to study them.

Not true. Deng changed it when he copied singapore masterplan that has zero tolerance for corruption. Develope a strong institution and see wonders in Nigeria

What you stated is actually part of my points. I said the citizens can take any risk or go to any length to achieve economic prosperity for their country. Zero tolerance for corruption is part of it. It means no one is exempted from capital punishment, even if he or she is the friend, child or relative of a politician or influential figure. How many Nigerian can go to that length for the sake of the country? If you are in power, can you allow your corrupt brother to be executed for the sake of Nigeria prosperity?

The citizens are very dedicated and patriotic to their country. They can do anything, risk anything and go to any length to achieve prosperity for their country. That's what makes them different from Nigeria.
