And he's right
A common dialogue would have solved everything.

No government in the world dialogues with non state actors, it’s extremely counterproductive and literally an invitation to anarchy as more people will take up arms to agitate against the government

Immatex:
Even my brand new 2024 model car here in the UK doesn’t run on Michelin tyres.

There are loads of cheaper options here than Michelin tires.

You’re correct about how vehicle owners now don’t mind driving on low budget tyres. However, Michelin would also have to tailor their brand to suit the Nigerian market in order to compete with the low budget brands

I’m not an Obi supporter but would be happy to see Deji sentenced to prison for defamation of character

Israel must be running a serious blackmail rig that has top western leaders do their bidding.

Millions of Jews were killed through the gas chambers by the Nazi’s, therefore the German’s are only making strong efforts to make right their historical wrongs against Israel

I am happy that it is this man saying it.

I am more happy that he is rich.

... Happier that he is Igbo...

💯 sensible elders should not remain silent while our values system is being destroyed

Brendaniel:
That was how he was able to hold Lagos for over 20 years after leaving office, kill off all oppositions then infiltrate anyone new one coming up and kill it before it attains any form of power while he loots recklessly with his cronies, sadly some of his tribesmen who are not benefiting anything see it as their tribes supremacy while the country gets destroyed.

Watch them all over the thread rejoicing while people are in their villages and towns crying from insecurity, hunger, inflation and so on, to them this what Nigeria is all about - SUPREMACY

Instead of you to blame the defections on PDP for not providing strong leadership, you rather absolved them of all responsibility and shamelessly attacked Tinubu who weathered the storm in opposition for 16 years

LibertyRep:
PDP is just headless, just losing Governors and Senators to the APC anyhow.

How can you allow this to be happen to a once biggest party in the country?

How?

Nature harbours a vacuum, the party lacks leadership

Jonathan destroyed the PDP and Atiku buried it

JAPAUL on the beat

Gold trading at record highs, Gbola would soon gbe body

Is the said property bought in the name/account of the bank or in his own personal account?

I heard it was funded through a mortgage by Access Bank in his name. I believe it further complicates things cos an individual must be a UK resident and be earning around £5 million (N10 billion) per annum to quality for a mortgage of £15 million. I doubt Mr Ogbonna earns that much

Seems like he used his influence in the bank to secure the mortgage. Exactly the sort of insider deals that lead to the collapse of the world’s the oldest bank

Kereokwu:
They better pay the N1 dividend

We shall see! The bank may likely keep their promise and pay out of retained earnings. However, I believe no smart investor will invest in the stock, hence the low valuation compared to UBA

KarlTom:
Exactly! 💯

Could it be Mr Ogbonna is trying to get back at AIG for overlooking him for the CEO role?

While it may be seen as an ego-driven move, this is ultimately a reckless investment and damaging publicity for Access Bank UK

Many of these London mansions have remained unoccupied since the UK government began seizing properties owned by Russian billionaires, alleging ties to President Putin

Consider what £15 million could achieve in a struggling UK economy—it could help provide mortgages for over 50,000 Nigerian families living in the UK

A large Hilton Hotel in Peterborough is currently listed for £11.9 million. Acquiring such a property could create hundreds of jobs for Nigerians and generate substantial profits for the bank

It’s likely that the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority will investigate this transaction thoroughly, and they may determine that it was funded through illicit means.

RodgersAkpafu:
This is not a big deal
Why are people making an issue out of it ?

It’s a red flag for discerning investors

Top bankers are meant to be shrewd and conservative with money and not to be seen as flaunting their wealth, reason why Jewish bankers are highly respected

OPINION: Roads, Bridges Can’t Mask Abuja’s Growing Waste Disaster




https://independent.ng/roads-bridges-cant-mask-abujas-growing-waste-disaster/

When I saw the headline, I thought the writer would post pictures of the growing waste disaster as evidence but he was just rambling about…… he’s definitely doing a hatchet job for an opposition party

Banker’s are meant to be conservative but this man action is very reckless

Raxxye:
My initial impression of the road was that as you ply it, you would be having a view of the Atlantic Ocean from your starting point in Lagos to the end of the highway in Calabar.
But now that it's diverting to landlocked States, is it still "coastal?"

Yes the adjoining roads will link directly to the main coastal highway. It’s a master stroke for opening up the rural roads and connecting the locals to the city highway

Biodun556:
https://guardian.ng/news/fg-extends-lagos-calabar-coastal-highway-to-edo/

Wow! See uncommon vision and patience. The coastal highway was conceived 47 years ago by jagaban

History would definitely be kind to Akanbi

The handiwork of unknown gunmen/herdsmen, ethnic/communal clashes or religious conflicts depending on their state of location

The people around Sego should please caution him for talking carelessly.

Our Yoruba youths are now fully aware of their responsibilities🤫 no need to threaten anyone

Europe and America would be setting a very dangerous precedent for planning to seize assets belonging to Russian companies

A subtle reply to those behind the AGODI

We foresee JAPAULGOLD selling at #50 though it will go via TRANSCORP route.

BARGAIN HUNTERS TAKE NOTE!

*ThE OcToPuS* 🐙

Don’t sweat it guys…… when Gbola eventually breaks out of this GINORMOUS pattern towards the end of oct, and it might go slightly lower in the meantime, N5 a share will be a way down

Gold trading at all time highs - Gbola will definitely rise, it’s just a matter of time

Only risk is the doubt hanging over the management
Team

PS

Markets showing some bullish signals, are we about to witness an independence rally

The aggrieved people should bring a class action lawsuit against the Lagos state government if they have the legal documentations

Atiku supporters from the SE. Una go condemn tire, Lagos state is the envy of the nation because it has built institutions that work over the years

Any illegality will not be tolerated

I’m not going to join you because Sowore is a blackmailer and a fraud disguising as an activist/journalist

dederocs:
Have southeast political class collectively shown their interest in it?

Have they shown any collective political will to actualise it?

My point is that referendums are important ingredients/tools for a functioning democracy. Therefore, the FG should re insert it back into the constitution regardless of whether the SE politicians or any other group are against it

Elusive001:
Okay, can you help with proofs of this your assertion as quoted?

He lacks a key quality of a true leader, which is the capacity to resolve conflicts, one crisis or another seems to trail him everywhere he has been as a leader

A president Obi will simply walk away from dealing with any crisis in Nigeria like he did in APGA, PDP, and now Labour Party. Such a character can not be trusted to lead a fragile and fundamentally weak country like Nigeria

Royalexquisuite:
Peter obi the Upcoming presidential of the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Congratulations.

Wailers... keep wailing.!

I’m not against Peter Obi’s ambition to be president but judging by his track record in leadership, I think he will plunge Nigeria into another civil war if elected

dederocs:
Federal government doesn't want it...the entire political class of southeast have to accept the Biafra, and organise referendum for Igbos, but for now seems the political class are enjoying one Nigeria.

The SE governors can’t conduct a referendum without the FG approval. I believe we would prevent future conflicts if we amend the constitution now and allow for a referendum. Azikwe was short sighted to have spearheaded the removal

Democracy is about continuous dialogue and responding to issues as they arise

dederocs:
Federal government has no business conducting a referendum because secession is not in our constitution, FG doesn't want it... Nnamdi Azikiwe was the one that pushed for removal of succession clause in our constitution... southeast should do its referendum.

I understand your point but I think the constitution should be reviewed to make provision for a referendum/secession - the law is made for man and not the other way round

MT:
This is an open and close case.

The evidence against him is overwhelming.

Dude is going to a lifetime jail.

💯% facts

I also think that the federal government should address the underlying causes of the constant agitation for Biafra in the region and conduct a referendum for the SE to decide……. Anything else is just cosmetic as another Kanu will one day continue the agitation for Biafra

Nature harbours a vacuum, human beings are social creatures that coexist under a leadership structure. Therefore, I don’t blame the senator for dumping the LP due to the absence of leadership and direction

Would the level of insecurity in Nigeria allow a governor to move around without escorts?

Moreover, government is indirectly creating jobs by having all those extra people around them
