And he is clearing Southern Nigeria completely. So tell me how he would not win.

Tinubu didn't clear southern Nigeria in 2023.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), he hasn't done anything spectacular to now clear southern Nigeria in 2027.

Celestialsword:
Pandora ?

You mean you can't trust the notorious narcotics drug trafficker, certificate forger, CIA agent, buccaneering power grabber engaging in criminal state capture, and you foisted him on Nigerians, expecting him to turn around the fortune of this country?

You are wicked.

They have failed woefully simply because, to them, it is an opportunity to eat.

In fact, it's now their turn to eat.

Three Nigerian women detained in Karada Prison, Baghdad, Iraq, have called on the Nigerian government for immediate intervention to facilitate their return home.


The women, identified as Adetunji Opeyemi Elizabeth, 36, Aladetan Rachael Tinuola, 28, and Adebayo Blessing Favour, 24, were arrested for lacking residence permits.

The women, speaking through a phone interview arranged by Nigeria-based human rights group Hopes Haven Foundation, clarified that they were not trafficked to Iraq but traveled there willingly in search of better opportunities.

Adetunji, a graduate who had struggled to find work in Nigeria since 2013, said her visa was processed by a trusted agent, Adekunle Oladiola.

Upon arrival in Iraq, however, they were met by an agency whose name they could not identify due to language barriers.

The agency placed them in temporary jobs, including caregiving and salon work, but Adetunji reported facing unsafe working conditions and threats from an employer, prompting her to return to the agency’s office.


The office later closed down, leaving her without a job or accommodation.

The women were arrested in September 2024 for not having residence permits. While they have expressed willingness to return to Nigeria and offered to fund their own tickets, immigration authorities have reportedly delayed the process.

Adetunji described the prison conditions as challenging, citing poor food quality that has affected their health.


“Sometimes they bring spoiled food. I go days without eating because I can’t cope,” she said, adding that she suffers from severe back pain and needs medical assistance.

The women’s plight points out the challenges faced by Nigerian migrants in countries without Nigerian embassies, such as Iraq.

While Nigerian embassies in neighboring countries often extend support, the lack of direct representation in Iraq has left the detained women isolated.


Adetunji has appealed to the Nigerian government to expedite their repatriation, stating her deteriorating health and the unsafe conditions they face in detention.

AguluLiar:

You will be fine

It's good that you made that clarification before they jump on you like bees.

He dared to become the governor of Lagos State when the drug lord hadn't approved

Anybody is free to endorse whomever they wish.

This is not the authentic Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

MICHEALADEX:
Make your papa no follower that road oooo

You lack the capacity to comprehend simple and precise English language

This project is truly living up to its name: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway of Fraud.

A project of this magnitude never went through budgetary appropriation. It didn't pass through the National Assembly, there was no environmental impact assessment, no contract bidding, etc.

Tinubu just dipped his filthy and leprous hands into our treasury, took out ₦1trillion, and gave it to his Lebanese friend, calling it counterpart funding.

This must surely pass as the biggest fraud ever committed by a sitting president in the entire world, which is why Tinubu has become one of the most, if not the most, corrupt president in the world.

almayda:
Are those blueprints physical projects now 20+ years after?you guys do not know why he ensures getting his man to be gov.of lagos during any election circle after he left office,your state gov. during his time,where is the blueprint or the physical project to show for being gov.for 8 years?

I don't know why you are fuming this early in the morning. Maybe you misunderstood my comment.

Looking4Trouble:
JAGABAN. He has no single record of abandoned project throughout his life.

While he also holds the record as the only governor who spent the entire eight-year tenure building blueprints.

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to urgently conduct by-elections to fill the vacant seats created by the defection of 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

It said the call followed the lawmakers’ controversial decision to override the governor’s veto on three bills despite court rulings affirming their legislative legitimacy loss due to their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).



In a statement in Abuja, its national coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA described the action as a flagrant affront to constitutional democracy.


The association cited several landmark judgements saying, “For instance, in Attorney General of the Federation v. Abubakar (2007) 8 NWLR (Pt. 1035) 117, the court held that defection without legitimate justification leads to the automatic loss of a legislative seat.”



Recently, a Rivers State High Court presided over by Justice Sika Aprioku, delivered a judgement affirming that the defected lawmakers had forfeited their seats. Justice Aprioku emphasised that Section 109(1)(g) of the constitution is self-executing, meaning that defection automatically triggers the loss of legislative membership without requiring additional judicial action.


HURIWA, therefore, called on INEC to fulfil its constitutional obligation by conducting by-elections to fill the vacancies created by the defected lawmakers. “Failure to act swiftly will only deepen the constitutional crisis and further erode public trust in Nigeria’s democratic institutions,” the association warned

Hhmm…
So nothing much to expect from Nigeria’s ‘economic reform’ this year also??

For the umpteenth time, these are not economic reforms; these are wicked and draconian policies masquerading as economic reforms, unleashed by the Tinubu regime on Nigerians
