These government people can lie heen,.....they have no conscience , so if they diverted the money, does it mean there was no process of monitoring the loans like normal people will do?

When they discovered the funds were diverted what was done


How did they give 1 farmer 6b , was that farmer farming a whole local,government ? .....these people are liars , they have a place reserved for znigerian politicians in hell

Impunity is the hallmark of this APC administration from Buhari to Tinubu.

The courts and most institutions are merging into the executive. The courts are no longer able to give direct and decisive judgements based on facts but now concentrate on Technicalities . A man steals but because he was not caught and presented in court through a certain process he is set free. The facts of the case is that the man stole , the proceedure maybe faulty but does not absolve the man from the crime of stealing.

I may not be a fan of Natasha but she should be protected and given fair hearing. The senate has bullied her and are just not ethical or moral and I dare to say legal in their grandstanding.

Today it is Natasha , tomorrow it may be you or your favoured politician and this is why Rule of law must prevail and not impunity.

What reasonable reason can the senate give for suspending her for 6 months and refusing her entry into the chambers.

Those supporting this rascality against Natasha are not aware impunity has no permanent address.

To be very candid , the legislators are not just smart, they should have given her a fair hearing, to bring all her evidence in an independent committee....it's harder to prove crime in Nigeria than to prove innocence . It would have been hard for Natasha to prove sexual harassment considering some of her utterances and conduct while the going was good with Akpabio. That way she would have had her full day in court and brought all her evidences which may likely have been her word against Akpabios. The senators were not smart to have railroaded her and this gives Natasha the winning hand. I believe they are bullying her because they know the truth and are protecting their leader in the senate of sychophants.

Reflect7:
Peter Obi has been saying Nigeria should be more like Bangladesh.

After seeing the short video below of the terrible transport system in Bangladesh, it occurred to me that perhaps Obi does not mean well for this country.

Pity.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19mWHNyzjU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Sir, see what AI says below , comparing Nigeria to Bangladesh....we have a lot to emulate from Bangladesh.

Peter Obi may not be wrong , from my assessment of AI results, he is right.

I think we are bugged down with crippling bad leadership and we ice it with tokenism and sensationalism.

Google is your friend ......use it.mso your post does not look shallow

AI Overview



Nigeria and Bangladesh, while both developing nations, exhibit significant differences in their economic trajectories and key development indicators. Nigeria, despite its larger landmass and population, faces challenges in achieving consistent economic growth, with its economy heavily reliant on oil and susceptible to price fluctuations. Conversely, Bangladesh has shown remarkable economic progress, particularly in industrialization and competitiveness, despite its smaller size and higher population density.
Here's a more detailed comparison:
Economy:
Nigeria:
The Nigerian economy is largely dependent on oil exports, leading to volatility and vulnerability to global oil price swings. This has resulted in inconsistent economic growth, high unemployment, and a struggling manufacturing sector.
Bangladesh:
Bangladesh has diversified its economy, experiencing growth in sectors like textiles, ready-made garments, and agriculture. This has allowed for more stable and consistent economic progress, with notable improvements in industrialization and competitiveness.
Key Development Indicators:
Life Expectancy:
Bangladesh has a significantly higher life expectancy at birth (70.65 years) compared to Nigeria (52.62 years).
Unemployment:
Nigeria has a much higher unemployment rate (23.90%) than Bangladesh (5.00%).
HIV/AIDS:
The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is also considerably higher in Nigeria (3.10%) compared to Bangladesh (0.10%).
Infant Mortality:
Nigeria experiences a higher infant mortality rate (74.09 deaths per 1,000 live births) than Bangladesh (45.67).
GDP Per Capita:
While both countries have relatively low GDP per capita, Nigeria's (approximately $2,800) is slightly higher than Bangladesh's (approximately $2,100). However, when considering GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), Bangladesh's is higher ($4,600) than Nigeria's ($6,000).
Other Factors:
Population Density: Bangladesh is significantly more densely populated than Nigeria.
Political Stability: Both countries have faced periods of political instability, but Bangladesh has seen more consistent progress in recent times.
Infrastructure: Nigeria faces significant underinvestment in infrastructure, while Bangladesh has been making strides in infrastructure development.
In essence, while Nigeria boasts a larger economy and landmass, Bangladesh has demonstrated greater economic dynamism and resilience in recent years, achieving significant progress in key development areas.

Impunity is deeper than what most people know .

In what capacity is the son of an ex president addressing FEC?

Did Buhari give Sagari the same honours?

FEC is a symbol of our National decision making structure.........nothing , I say nothing matters to these APC people...there is nothing to much for APC to desecrate!

The Project surely was and is still a bankable project; the only issue was the lack of Federal and state government support and the effect of politics. If there was an airstrip or light rail or good roads with scheduled bus service and security......Private folks would have taken it over.

The narrative that Nigeria is a broke country is a dumb narrative being propagated by the Government when it suits its officials.

To be clear , its not for broke people and they will never see the value

If only you knew the number of Nigerians who travel on holiday and how much they spend......you would see this was a no-brainer. Nigeria is just a dream killer and I'm sure Donald Duke will be heartbroken for daring to dream big. Nigeria has smart people , its the machinery of Government that has failed and broken down . Only purposeful and inclusive restructuring will fix it.

If that was how it worked...Buhari would have died since 2015 , no since 1986.

The people that are rejoicing over his death took the position because Buhari and his APC folks ruled and reigned like he would live forever...the rejoicing was spontaneous and it is in line with the parody of the people rejoicing when the righteous rule.........

I don't rejoice over people's misfortune but it does not take away the fact that the 8 years of Buhari were years of the locust and cancerworm

Softmirror:
I know that you will come up with the burial thing. One which has been clarified. There is no how there can be massacre of people and it will be so difficult to prove.

Sir / Ma....I see you did not comment on the faces and families of those killed at the toll gate....which is the crux of the matter...but it's ok .
Propaganda , lies, government spins , politics , influencing cannot change history........the pain and loss felt by victims , nor Judgement by the creator of heaven and earth shall never be tainted with lies..... Lies are a vapour.

Nobody will leave this dimension alive , we will all die one day. As long as most of us live we would remember the sequence and facts and the evil Buhari and Sanwoolu did supritending over opening fire on those people at Lekki toll gate and the denials.

He was the leader of the most populous black nation but died like a common fellow in a foreign land without honour . Many of his country men had no such basic and lowly opportunity at life.

I watched as the commissioner struggled to explain the 130 bodies with all the nin, bvn and facial recognition data....they don't need to explain further to man.........I just hope their families will not share in the karma.

No arguments but I saw your comment and for the umpteenth time I needed to clarify and bring out facts as the Lagos state instituted panel confirmed deaths at the toll gate and compensation was paid to the people not killed or shot at.

Recall they said it was not Nigerian soldiers, sanwo denied until army confirmed they were invited by him...army said they fired blanks until forensics confirmed they were live bullets...etc etc ...the truth ...is a bi**tch...you cannot hold her down.

Softmirror:
Which families?! Why haven't these families turn up. There is no government that will fold her arms and watch a peaceful protest hijacked by political criminals who are bent on destruction.

To answer your questions sir

See link below if you need the evidence of families


See link below if you can explain how 103 bodies are suddenly to be buries by LASG when nobody died...these must be empty bodies not humans.

Also , we need to stick with the truth,...the protest at the toll gate was peaceful, onky measure of violence was inflicted by the soldiers who shot live bullets at protesters who sat on the ground waving nigerian flags and singing the anthem.
There were some clashes in mushin and some other parts of lagos and looting including the burning of a police station before this day but the police had it under control.

The real mayhem was on the 21st and 22nd of October after the Lekki shooting and the security forces that viciously shot at unarmed protesters were not around to fight off the arsonists and looters ..

......let's not distort history for the sake ofmthe souls departed......impunity and Karma are twins , they work together ...let's come together to speak the truth and promote rule of law ....its the lekki victims today , nobody know who it will be tomorrow.

immortalcrown:
Put poverty and bad governance aside, this is peer pressure. As a matter of fact, most of the people here can afford to feed well in Nigeria. Poor Nigerians do not have money for passport and visa.

My comment is based on the caption of the post. I don't waste my time on such videos. What brought the crowd is also what brought her. So whatever she thinks of the crowd also applies to her.

Hmmmmm...those things you are shoving aside actually determine if one lives a good life or not!.... Everybody in Nigeria - Rich, poor, influential, lowly is one minute away from being a victim of Nigeria. Needless loss of lives and destruction of dreams. Nigeria is better than most of the countries people run to (Potential wise) but Nigeria is a huge crime scene and hell because of those two factors you have set aside.

The State of the country and truly be opined by someone who has lived on both sides of the divide not necessarily correctly defined by people who are stuck here and know not what they are going through

What I know and remember Aregebsola for in Osun was the fact that he was governing the state without commissioners for a hell of a long time and could not pay salaries. He started big and laudable projects then federal allocation dropped and he abandoned them. He had no capacity to generate IGR. He also divided the state seriously;y along religious lines and spent most of his time chasing frivolities rather than seeking ways to generate IGR.

I remember clearly that the passport process was seamless and was already on autopilot , then he stepped in and there was a scarcity of passport raw materials, which was the first time I heard of that in my 50 years on earth....the Passport issuance process went backwards and was riddled with touting and favouritism. Getting passports outside Nigeria was hell! Cancelled and failed appointments and disappointment.
Immediately after Aregbesola left , the backlog was cleared and the process not only became seamless but also improved upon!.

Aregbesola and all the politicians in ADC are old people who want to die without giving the younger ones the opportunity to improve this country.

ADC will implode quickly or be worse than APC in my view, they are again strange bed fellows. APC and Tinubu is leprous to Nigeria btw

Brave farmer and child.

I trust my people , it will end up in the pot..no time to waste meat.

I cant eat it though , I have great compassion for animals , can't kill them.

yyba:
Shameless man, lere olayinka didn't say you approach WIKE for money.

Good afternoon , I want to learn from you, what did Lere say Rueben and wife seek from Wike ....please educate me

All of these are to take away the attention of Nigerians from the ongoing mess Nigeria has turned into. The issue is the abuse of democracy , tort, bad leadership and failure of Nigeria.

Watcharena:
Seriously his father is the remote cause I'm , sure even he will regret violating traffic law.

And I'm 100% sure he will not go free, both he and the police will be punished, but the child won't come back

I agree with you 100%

Both the Father of the child and the driver are at fault.

Why would the man be trying to endanger lives with his children in the car , What example is he teaching them? My son from JSS1 would not let me rest if I ever beat a traffic light not to talk of driving against traffic. He would highlight others who are beating traffic lights as wrong, how can I , his role model, be beating traffic lights?

The driver will live with the effects of his bad decisions all his life. Especially knowing we have a trigger-happy force , why would I not only commit the offence , disobey and assault the officers with my car ...that's a king rap sheet , the man is culpable and mind you , if he tries it with American police , he would likely be dead.

The police man and the rest of the team are only passionate about the potential victim to extort and not passionate about the work of traffic management. while it may have been expedient to stop the errant driver who was reckless ( he may have been a kidnapper), apparently someone in the Traffic organisation car acknowledged that the man had children but not clear if the policeman knew. .........its also within the rules of engagement to use utmost caution in the discharge of firearms, why not shoot into the air , especially with the strong ricochet of AK47 , he should have been more cautious. A single AK-47 bullet fired can kill 2 people in a straight line.

Ultimately, both sides will be punished ....but an innocent life had been untimely cut short. The boy is the only victim and his siblings who watched him die.
The father will live with the reality that his decisions killed his son and will have to explain his actions to his surviving kids till the end of his life.....
The policeman will face the music for the careless use of his weapon alone in a dingy cell; his superiors, whom he may be delivering proceeds to, will deny him. He will regret the murder of a child, and his career has ended due to his lack of discretion.

Sad, sad, sad and hope we all learn lessons from this.

This is why the Politicians take Nigerians as a Joke . We as a people are the cause of our own problems.

A simple conversation on the backwardness of a state's lack of strategy has derailed into a tribal long dick contest.

The part that hurts me is the fact that the bigots are supposed to be educated.

Wow, this is sad, as parents we must educate and enable our children to have open and hard discussions with us.

What role did the parents play in all of this? In today's world, both girls and boys must be enlightened and protected.

They should investigate thoroughly and fairly. Anyone found culpable should be held to account. This should not be happening again. There are too many parties willing to give and supply bodily pleasures that forceful and abusive acts, allegedly like this should not be possible.

I predicted Trump was going to reverse himself, unfortunately, nobody wagered against me, I could have been a million dollar bucks richer. It's much like Trump promising a piece of meat but throwing a bone with a little meat stuck on it and then he's having his supporters say he's putting America first. Without mincing words, Trump is tanking pretty early, barely four months in. Every American President prides himself in mounting on a podium and saying " I promised X and I delivered X". But here we have a supposedIy alpha President getting his butts sit down by bricks hitting back at his face.
I feel like there's is a bulb going off in his head each time he sleeps at night telling him he's making himself an object of ridicule, so he needed to reverse himself on some of his policy decisions.



You didn't know this before?



You didn't know you needed a fairly balanced immigration policy?, really?. You just found out that Truth Social and White House realities are a world apart.

Most definitely he was sure to eat his own vomit. Principles applied bring the same results world wide ...just like his Nigerian counterpart

1 he made pronouncements over matters of state without the requisite information and knowledge about status quo, before taking office.

2 he has no deep knowledge and insights of how a nation works but an orator and crowd pleaser who can hypnotise the public

3 he surrounded himself with less people without character or personality, so he has " how high should I jump aides" basically YES men run his close circle.

4 he sees himself as the wisest but does not understand the basics, they have watched too many films and eye service cakes and are living in a dream world.

5 they only understand the actions they take by the actual effect since they do not have predictive I tuition

6 they ride on the back of racism, imperialism , white supremacy, nepotism and division to capture the ignorant majority.

the forgoing leads to policy flip flop, cluelessness, unintended circumstances , self reversal and lack of progress!

I witnessed first hand the cost of living a country with inept and worthless leaders spiced with civil servants without common sense.

What happened yesterday is a physical demonstration how these people mismanaged the whole country.

If they could cause so much misery to to fix a bridge that was fix about 5 years ago , if they had to build another bridge , they will drive all residents into Cotonou.

That controller of works and her minister deserves stiff punishment for shutting down the entire lagos Island for 2 days , destructive , slow people ..........this is how incompetent people end up playing with our lives

Got home 6am seeing so many breakdowns and accidents and just frustrated people ...the speed cameras also picking my no on the way ........These civil servants are from Hell!

Its crude and primitive to be "waylaying" or literarily "lying in wait" for passengers at the airport in this manner , Most civilised countries use sniffer dogs scanners and technology to pick and politely stop passengers for questioning. What is he looking for on the passport that he cannot see on an electronic passport scanning system. Most of the civilised world have stopped stamping passports physically .

Its unsettling ,annoying and frustrating to be stopped like this after 20 hours of flying. These officials are largely just looking for something to pin on the passengers to collect bribes...that's all.

If you know you know and if you don't you don't ......winking in the dark is a waste

Imagine people coming here to call for the woman's head when they have not heard her side of the story.

Even people who probably cannot drive a wheelbarrow probably are busy calling for the lady's house and car to be burnt! you must know how to drive before you have an understanding of what happened.

Is there a cctv footage or anything that shows the lady driver was at fault? some people will say she used the man for rituals if she carried him in her car. Bikers know the risk when they ride and further .....ONLY unbiased witnesses can say who was at fault. Ozumba Mbadiwe is not a race track where someone should die like that.

Common sense is truly uncommon, crowd magistrates and judges all over the internet. Its more scary how there are so many blood thirsty deranged people in this country looking for a reason to draw blood!

Its the usual beef of people without cars blaming any and every accident on people who own cars. The more they hate car owners the more the cars will elude them.

Laws of natural justice demand that the two sides be heard and it was an accident , you cannot establish guilt without the facts.

The poster is also just throwing out someone's identity because there are no responsible enforcement of privacy laws .......

May God console and uphold the family of the bereaved and grant him rest.

The thing about impunity is the fact that it will go round......The people in power with Buhari are now on the queue with Nigeria all feeding on impunity....all the big headed people propagating recklessness and impunity today will.join the rest of Nigerians tomorrow.

it's simple

A classical example of the arrogance of power. People in government have assumed the place of emperors and they find it hard to separate their person from government , could it be because they use the tools of power like personal tools?

A day will come when znigerians will be more aware and ready to tame its government and officials

Parties like UPN, NPN and people like J Wayas, Maku, Oby, OBJ , IBB, Abacha , MKo, Mbadiwe Dasuki, were all once so powerful in godlike sense.

Umahi should not fall for the arrogance of power he is smarter than that

This is an eloquent testament of the dexterity and managerial acumen of the president

Let's gather here and praise him as everyone has finally agreed that foodstuffs prices are crashing daily and people can now feed well again after Peter Obi mismanaged the economy in 2023.

Thank you poster and in case this is not clear enough....the dollar was inherited at 700 by the government , this means it has crashed from 700 to 1600.

Apparently in the books of some people 1600 is less than 700

When this analyst is done , he should tell me how 750 naira to Usd is now better at 1500 to usd. Even people without education know we are still not producing and the exchange rate is worse and clearly this government is on a journey to no where. The basic fundamentals for positive balance of trade and payment s is not in sight. In a country so rich!....All Propaganda and Cluelessness

Your question is unfair and biased.....its leading people on to a predetermined response .

The question I would ask is . who among the following do you want to teach and mentor your child...and why?

A President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

B Alh Atiku Abubakar

C Mr Peter Obi

D Alh Kwankwanso

If nah Nigeria Govt want to do this kind project now, nah hunger people here will be shouting nah bridges they want do when they are hungry.
Hunger ki u there.

My piglet Saka Wasiu , why are you unable to articulate your thoughts? Unfortunately , you are not able to express yourself in English , nor articulate your thoughts. The biggest problem for a geography graduate is unable to articulate your thoughts. You can never practice without a mind that works. How did you even get through school sir?

Anyway Nigerian officials are largely thieves and they steal and flaunt the ill gottent weath with the help of twits like saka, in China they would jump off a building.

Therefore , now that China is committing funds to this huge project, it shall be delivered without prayers, and in good time. In Nigeria, they will kick off the project, pray and then the funds end up with the project supervisory officers in government, eg Ajaokuta, Calabar port etc

Finally , if the government cannot feed the country or facilitate those who can feed it, how would they execute such a project?

Saka you are too dull and dumb to engage in National discourse, just rest!
