Great job, EFCC. People must know crime is not the right way to acquire wealth.

A government of misery. The so-called Renewed Hope Agenda is pure sarcasm. The order will surely come. That is the only consistency in this government.

Imagine a monarch trying to suppress this information, to what end? This is why I like Sahara Reporters. They will publish.

Why should a country that preaches about freedom be uncomfortable with others associating? Can't help but notice the usual vilifying of China. The U.S. only cares about maintaining its hegemony. It will topple democratic governments to do so. None of these countries want a unipolar world.

Do you know why 200 million of us allow the sham elections in our local, state and federal governments, either in the legislative or executive branch?

What can we do to stop sham elections in our country?

On why: There are several reasons, including ignorance, illiteracy, poverty, tribalism, corruption, fanaticism, etc.

On what to do: The only way informed people can stop this is through resistance. By coming out en masse to their polling units and ensuring their votes count. Making it known to the government that any rigging will be met with unrest and civil disobedience until rectified. Thereby infusing in the psyche of those in power that rigging is not an option.

Seems fitting and ironic, considering space itself is a hoax. Not many people know this.

Chaos in every sector, while leaders are on vacation. Not like they were doing much before the vacation. I hate to keep quoting John Bolton, but it is really the case that in Nigeria, the inmates are running the asylum.

It is always an increase. Just like the inflationary economy, passport fees hike etc. They continue to pile it up on Nigerians. An extra this or that, while they in public offices live in extravagance.

A joke of an administration.

The only party checkmating the actions of this federal government. No wonder they are under attack across the country by undemocratic elements.

Accountability. This is what we lack in our government in Nigeria because of the sham elections that put people in office.

Hmmmmm2024:
How can you send a letter to someone, and you have your stamp on the letter ? Hahahaha...the recipient is suppose to acknowledge and not the sender. Your letter headed paper and signature of the signee are enough. Incompetence

It depends on the practice and guidelines of the institution. In the legal profession in Nigeria, it is the practice. So it varies.

A glaring attempt to intimidate and suppress opposition. Can we get serious in this country and focus on important issues? This is ridiculous.

Copy and paste syndrome without taking into consideration the peculiarities of our country. They are basically demanding for the creation of more problems. Some people do not critically evaluate things in these parts before taking a decision, especially those in positions of authority in Nigeria. They prefer to cry later. Ensure free and fair elections first.

ELrufai, you see your life, Power is transient , you were lording over Kaduna few years ago. you publicly claimed to be paying bandits so as not to unalive southern Kaduna people, they cried to God and Tinubu won. You have been rightly placed where you belong.
Price you pay when you are a Bigotttssss

Always the same flawed reasoning from people avoiding the truth. Is this current action right or wrong? Your focus on El-Rufai is irrelevant. When similar actions are meted on you or those you support tomorrow, you will start wailing and the cycle continues. This is not how we are going to change this country. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Doesn't look like someone who knows anything about luxury or construction. EFCC is definitely on to something.

Are you guys done running the existing one efficiently? Just busy creating more problems instead of solutions.

The relationship with this U.S. controlled financial institution and similar ones is never going to amount to anything good, nor lead to our development as a country.

If the U.S. seeks domination in all spheres (which it does), then it cannot be true that they are genuinely interested in our development. This leads me to question the intention of the so-called leaders of this country, who keep plunging it into a cycle of debt to our enemies.

The ruling party is focused on stifling opposition. No surprise that the police are the usual tools deployed for this undemocratic assignment. It is also allegedly sanctioned by the court. What a shame. The police should focus on their primary duty and stop chasing shadows.

Are we supposed to be surprised? It is the country of the likes of Kwam 1.

The inmates are running the asylum.

Unbridled sycophancy. Quick questions to uncover the reason behind this forecast: Are the majority of Nigerians happy with this government? Are we better off now than we were before, in terms of economy, security, infrastructure, healthcare, education, etc? The reality dictates otherwise and you can sample the opinions of Nigerians in the various parts of this country. This is a government of misery with most people struggling.

Imagine the audacity to make such a statement in an administration where hardship is the national anthem. Some of the questions also going through the mind of a reasonable person are, where does this kind of confidence displayed by Jibrin come from? Is this man living in a different country other than Nigeria? He is not living in a different country, and I'll tell you the source of his confidence.

If President Tinubu was doing well, it would have been a different thing, and I would have been cheering. We want to cheer. This is our country after all. However, only unpatriotic elements will cheer in the face of terrible governance.

If we had a functional democracy, it wouldn't even be a debate that President Tinubu would be booted out at the ballot box. This confidence from Jibrin stems from rigging and subverting the will of the Nigerian people. Unfortunately, this subvertion is the cause of our current problems in Nigeria.

We are yet to see any significant positive change in the lives of the majority of Nigerians. One of the ways to turn that around is to stop listening to people like Jibrin.

That is all they do. A country of endless, forever wars. The CIA is then used overseas to create conflicts, destabilise countries and cause regime change.

Lots of hopelessness in an administration with a Renewed Hope Agenda.

The current political space in Nigeria is a joke. Anti-party activities are the norm. PDP is in a jam and how they decide to get out of it is their business.

Is there genuinely a strong will and commitment to tackle insecurity? We recently saw how your Renewed Hope Agenda hiked passport fees.
We must stop looking at insecurity in isolation and rather address its root causes.

I am not an advocate of state police because it will cause more harm than good, given our peculiarities in Nigeria. If you want to imitate a country like the U.S., then don't do it in isolation.

Let us have free and fair elections. With that, you get leaders who are accountable to the people. Otherwise, Nigerian governors will turn this country into a war zone with their inordinate ambitions.

The current police structure we have can tackle insecurity if properly utilised. Adequate recruitment and provision of the resources they need on the ground. Not those things infused in budgets which do not materialise.

We often get complaints from the police about their welfare, has that been addressed? State police will just be a replication of the existing problems.

Greek gift. We must acknowledge what this portends for our democracy and the independence of our judiciary. Let us stop deceiving ourselves.

If I keep building houses for you and giving you cars, it might be difficult for you to decline my request, when I ask for a favour. It is implied.

Public perception is key in the administration of justice. Judges should be uncomfortable with things like this, unless they are in office for something else, other than justice delivery.

The judiciary should be financially autonomous.

This useless country is always seeking attention with this visa nonsense. Their lapdog U.K. will soon issue theirs. Yet they are in every continent causing mayhem. Perhaps, stop destabilising other countries for a change, and you may not have to worry too much about people coming into your country illegally or overstaying.

I only came here to comment about the atrocities being committed by this company. It is a good thing that the original post contains some of these pictures. Apparently, his company has a history of abandoning their accident victims. It is now a culture of the company. The impunity is too much.

There needs to be a class action suit against Dangote by the victims of this souless capitalist. Perhaps when the story makes it to international news media like CNN, it will break this evil cycle. Since they care more about their false image.

This is where the NBA needs to come in. It is not about organising conferences with fancy themes, while gross injustice is being perpetrated on the helpless by the powerful. Enough is enough.

NSA that is yet to tell Nigerians what USAID was up to in this country. Do we actually expect to win this fight against terrorism or is it hopeless?

There is no concern whatsoever about important things. I would question your competence too, as well as that of our intelligence services.

Rollercoaster. No wonder things are the way they are.

"The inmates are running the asylum."

The level of pettiness. Why was President Tinubu elected and what did he tell the electorates while campaigning for the office? You guys should better wake up from your slumber.

lexy2014:
if the questions were not directed at you, how come you responded to the questions?

I didn't. I reacted to your comment as I'm entitled to, highlighting your usual practice of asking 21 questions. There is a difference.
