you know if agbero chairman had fulfilled just one of his positive promises just one I won't bother.but he is a wonderful failure .the criminal agbero union smuggled into aso rock is a weapon they fashioned against Nigerians because of the hate they have for the country

Only low IQ people think the way you do. $7b backlog that was cleared na beans? $50b and still counting reserves na joke?

Let me tell you the benefits of reforms because obviously as an Obidient your brain cannot accommodate it, when OBJ did banking reforms with Soludo, many shouted but that move alone saved our nation till today. We didn't see the results immediately. When GEJ brought power reforms that allows everything ObJ refused in power, 12 years after Abia started enjoying uninterrupted power.

Now our numbers are making sense and the reforms are making us see improved investment inflow into the country. Even the rice you always wanted to shout about is coming down.

There's Calabar to Lagos today and Badagry to Sokoto roads going on, economy needs fast and cheaper transportation to work. That will be another master stroke. See Lagos Ibadan expressway today, almost no free land there again as everything has been taken over by companies but it took more than 30 years of that road for that to happen. Immediately Buhari fixed the road, companies started moving in. Same will happen to those trans county highways I mentioned.

I hope your brains and those of everyone in your camp will understand.

See Kuramo beach where we used to flex before is now the most expensive in Africa, it won't happen overnight but will happen once structures are in place.

20 years ago, Lekki Epe was forgotten, but when the road camp under Fashola everywhere is totally occupied now.

Insecurities and other sectors are what needs to be improved upon but when terrorists and their financiers are arrested, you lots will claim they are victimizing them.

Clearing that $7b really increased investors confidence but enemies will keep crying. No be today interests rates are 20+ percent.

Govt needs to find a solution to insecurities, that's the major problem I have with these govt. They need to call the bluff of any religious or tribal fanatics from the North giving excuses for these bandits and terrorists.

You people will just be making biased statements, El rufai kill kaduna xtains, he kidnapped opponents ... till date no evidence,
We cant use illegality to correct illegality, if El rufai is bad becos he detained people illegally then the govt detainng illegally is as bad as El rufai

You have taken the man passport, he is a noted man in the society he cant run away .. the court should have just granted bail pending the conclusion of investigation for his trial ..very simple

BUT Tinubu want to show might, humiliate him even though they know they have no strong case.. Its unreasonable for us cirizens to support Abuse of office cos it will get to us tew

Person wey slap your slap go fit ask you to kneel down nd raise up your hands all day

You obviously are sick for saying this. How can you say there are no evidences? Ask the journalists and critics he locked up. Tell that to Daddyata's family. Una just dey pained as Obidients because you guys felt the North will burn and you can have reasons to blame Tinubu but even the North looked the other way as the wicked midget cum Obidient saviour was locked up. With all your sudden useless support for him, Obi still won't get get ADC ticket.

Kastonkastroll:
I'm not even a fan of elrufai but I just feel the government treated the man unfairly. Just look at the baseless charges against him by ICPC and you will know the agency just wanted to nail something on him either by hook or crook. Things that every public servant in Nigeria is guilty of.


And now that he lost his mother, you are granting him bail that was previously declined. See Nuhu ribadu and his friends should leave the man alone.

E don do!

You are only pained because you're an Obidient. Do you know what HellRufai did to people while he was in power?. Some were even jailed 6 months without getting to court at all. We pray that our wicked leaders gets served the same potion they give but somehow clowns like you find excuses to plead for them. Go ask those who suffered in his hands and Malami's hands.

Your likes today support Emefiele, the man who destroyed the nation with his fellow corrupt bankers and power brokers. Y'all need to receive sense o. I pray it's not too late.

Sorry guys I'm the keke driver

I ran away with the purchased goods because hunger wan kee me. I am a die-hard Tinupoo and APC supporter.

I voted for Tinupoo thinking he's a master strategist and ready to make Nigeria 🇳🇬 a better place but he failed me. Now hunger wan kee me… na why I run away with op goods.

Op no vex abeg 😂

Now that you have admitted. I hope he can pursue you and track you down.

Hypocrisy of Obidients all over the thread. They don't want to call Makinde names they normally call Wike. Just same way they want to praise Otti but never see anything good in others even doing better than Otti.

Security operatives believed to be personnel of the Department of State Services DSS have arrested a prominent Islamic cleric and former governorship aspirant in Kaduna State, Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar 24 hours after he hosted presidential hopeful, Peter Obi.
While details of his arrest remain sketchy as at the time of filling this report, the development however underscores the deeply troubling state of Nigeria’s democracy, where freedom of speech and movement is increasingly threatened, and where citizens and perceived political opponents face harassment and unnecessary persecution.

Meanwhile, Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has condemned and raised an alarm over the arrest of the religious leader.

According to Obi, Umar was arrested shortly after he hosted him in Kaduna State on Sunday.

Taking to his X account on Tuesday, the former Governor of Anambra State described the development as a threat to freedom of speech and movement.

He submitted that such troubling developments in Nigeria’s political space must be nipped in the bud.

Obi added that suppression and intimidation of opposition voices by the Nigerian government must stop, noting that the rule of law must pr

“I have just been made aware early this morning that Revered religious leader, Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar has been arrested by authorities shortly after hosting me in Kaduna on Sunday.

“This development underscores the deeply troubling state of our nation and our democracy, where freedom of speech and movement is increasingly threatened, and where citizens and perceived political opponents face harassment and unnecessary persecution. This cannot be allowed to continue.

“This country must defend freedom and free speech, which are the hallmarks of every democratic society. Suppression and intimidation of dissent can never stand in a democratic society, and this Nigerian government must understand this fact.

“I respectfully call on all those bent on undermining our already fragile democracy to please stop and apply the rule of law and tenets of democracy in dealing with citizens,” he wrote.

Obi is more foolish than I imagined. You don't even know the reason he was arrested you started tweeting. Now if he was arrested for financing terrorism that will be a big stain or indictment on Obi to be seeing laughing with a terrorists financier for example. Obi needs to learn how to listen more and talk less. He's damaging his brand everyday.

how APC will rule for more then 10 solid years and they can't provide common electricity and you're still been deceived with promises. Wake up brother wake up if Tinubu win this next election it will be complete 16 years of backwardness APC brought to us.

Like PDP provided. If you understand governance at all you will know that unless every sector goes the way of Telecom, Nigeria will not achieve anything. In America, power, rail, energy, agriculture everything are in the hands of corporations even defense. All govt can do is subsidize.

Anything else is just pampering and packaging failure.

This one na Tinubu fault again? Obidients keep falling low all in their desperation to tag Tinubu a failure but their messiah Obi couldn't help Anambra people from collect gala and malt to vote.

Average Nigerians are greedy and thieves. If tanker no fall you mean these people here won't eat that day abi?

DO you know that Fuulish man that calls himself President ... Ask Jonathan to resign then, the state of security then was not even as terrible as where we are now

That Uselezz old wag demonized Jonathan for Fuel increase that is not up to #100..under his own govt we are buying fuel over 1000 he is telling us its a necessary reform

As at 2014, Tinubu was agitating for eletronic voting But today the same Tinubu is telling Nigerians No network

A ma that told us #195 is high ... O lo fi okan ba le a maa gbe wa lé ... Any one that decides to still go vote APC again 2027 needs mental check at yaba

How can you say insecurity wasn’t this bad under Jonathan? You get brain at all? Yes both GEJ and Tinubu failed badly on security but under GEJ was a mess and Biharis carelessness led to Fulani militias madness we have today. If Tinubu can get serious with new intels from America and sack Ribadu with that foolish mindset of his brothers he (Tinubu) may just win the war

Kukutente23:
Hypocritus
Did you say this when Jonathan was in power?
I don't see any difference between Tinubu, FFK and Reno
Their words can't be taken seriously
They say one thing today and another tomorrow
Maybe that's why Tinubu made those two jesters his ambassadors

You can say that of Tinubu and FFK but Reno has always come with receipts. You may not like him because he holds your darling Peter Obi by the balls every time but Reno won’t say anything without receipts and when he gets it wrong he would apologize and come clean. We can’t say same for Obi, Atiku, Tinubu or Ameachi nor even HellRufai

Mitsurugi:
But the match continued. Even with CAF officials there at the stadium. Abi even if the ref no sabi couldn't they have advised him? Morocco too should have pressed there and then. They waived their rights when they took that penalty. If Morocco had scored and went on to win would there have been talk of Article 84 or kini kan?

You know in law, the courts can only uphold your prayers. I'm sure what Morocco prayed for was for the trophy to be awarded to them.

I would have preferred maybe a ban on the Senegalese coach and not to take the trophy..but what Senegal did is only a begining, knowing we Africans next tournament, everyone go dey walk out. So we really need to send a signal and can't allow that to happen. No team on earth can claim not to have been favoured ateast once before.

Everyday Obidients keep falling hands, showing their shallow mindset. Government removed subsidy not ban importation of fuel. Do u want all those tank farms in Apapa to disappear overnight?. Una go dey always shout and blaming govt but una no get single solutions. Terrible lots.

I don't seem to understand how people are so lawless and still support lawlessness. If you could support or agree with Arsenal's penalty against Leverkusen and they think Morocco doesn't have a deserved penalty that day, then you're either ignorant or an hypocrite. CAF didn't come up with the judgement, Morocco filed an appeal just as we did against DRC. What's the essence of filling an appeal if you won't get judgement.

The Senegalese disallowed goal before the penalty incident was justified, because Hakimi was pushed. There should be consequences for stupidity or else anarchy will descend everywhere. If such happens in future other teams will simply follow the Senegal script.

Morocco like every other host nation enjoyed home advantage and that's not new at all but to now walk off the pitch is crazy and insane. Leverkusen players should have walked off the pitch against Arsenal that day in Germany.

You guys need to be educated. Every comment here against CAF like you have evidence that they were paid or something.

Obi was their biggest importers for decades and couldn't find a way to make them set up shop here yet will be shouting production. Even Dangote is now producing everything he once imported locally.

nairalanda1:
Not much of a success.

first a minority of the industries are manufacturing industries. None of them actively exports or earns much in exporting. None of them makes electronics, vehicles, heavy industrial products , energy industry machinery, even batteries and so forth.

One trillion naira is just 700 million dollars. That's not much

The above list shows how much we have failed as a nation that we do not have the kind of industries and companies that actually solve problems. We just dey full ourselves

APC has failed abeg

Na APC go build companies? Ask importers like Peter Obi and his cronies how they destroyed local manufacturing with cheap imports. Now all industrial buildings in Ikeja are just empty of used as church buildings.

TINUBU WAS, IS AND NEVER WILL BE A DEMOCRAT.

If a man can sit and watch every political opposition run to his party, absorb them and still cannot allow credible electoral processes by rushing to sign electoral law that is against Nigerians wishes is no Democrat by any means.

A man that silence any opposing voice through government institutions and judiciary calls himself a Democrat...

Nigerians, na una cause am.

You have lawmakers, recall them if they truly didn't do the wishes of the people in that law. They even said no more delegates in party primaries. That's the biggest win. But you all are using transmission as excuse because you know you will loose. Too bad and terribly lazy opposition.

Yet 4 will still qualify from the 6

Better for all of them too loose now than meet that Boko Haram Bodo/Glimt in QF or SF o.

Has local government funds in Osun been released? If the funds are released there would not be need to accuse the governor.
Sure thing, State government can borrow
The APC chairman should speak in context, because saying Adeleke wants to use use LG as collateral is completely wrong and not feasible. Then if he says the LG funds is what he means, the state government can use FAAC allocations which will include both the state and LG allocation particularly to meet needs of the state.
But this is politics they are playing anyways, they can lay up accusations as long as it is to portray the government bad.

Thanks for the beautiful explanation.

Vicana:
Did you read what he wrote?
Are you saying the Local governments will serve as collateral for Loan. States do borrow and use their future finances as collateral and not local government, local government are autonomous and can't be used as collateral
Or you are not aware of it.

States have been using LG funds for collateral ever since because the money comes to the state and state later share to LG. Remember the SC judgement on autonomy isn't implemented yet so governors still use those funds. That's my point.

However, why does Adeleke suddenly wants 300b now when he didn't borrow a penny for 3 years?.

erad:
They've not implemented supreme court judgement because of political pressure... You are not serious.

Have a nice day.

If you have proof that the local government authority judgment has been fully implemented provide it abeg.

helinues:
Some of una matter don tired me with una blind arguments

And you are talking about rational, education? Chai!!!

Sir kettle, kindly practice what you are preaching

You said governors and I'm saying he never produced more than Oshiomole, Oshiomole went for national elections, Ganduje only did 2-3 governorships. One President is far more than 100 governors. Oshiomole delivered Buhari for second term.

erad:
Lower the volume of your ignorance.

Seems a lot of you just choose not to enlighten yourself. If thats the case, why do you think the local government issue in osun state is still raging on till this very moment? No state in the whole of Nigeria receives local government funds as at today, the funds are paid directly to the local government accounts from the federation account. Fact check me.

You're from Osun, do you live in Osun? I live in Osun and I'm familiar with the local government activities especially, because I know people working there.

It is ILLEGAL for the local government funds to be paid to state government. That's the whole essence of autonomy. Please educate yourself.

Una no go ever learn. Just last week Tinubu still dey threaten governors that he will use executive orders to make money go directly to LG. Na where u see your own news of LG receiving money directly abeg? Oyo for example the chairmen no dey see shishi, Seyi don corner everything. Show me evidence of when LG were paid directly and when that started. The SC judgement hasn't been implemented due to political pressure. Make una dey seek knowledge. Ignorance is bad.

fergie001:
Governor Seyi Makinde at the expanded PDP BoT meeting

Trust the Obidients mob and other emotional mentally lacking individuals to start hailing this failure. Makinde, you have been humbled, abeg leave explanation alone. The only thing history will remember Makinde for are as follows::

Someone who got 20b yet his citizens were suffering and homeless but decided to hide the funds.

Someone who worked against his party's candidates because of zoning which isn't constitutional.

Someone who got an Oyo high court judge who retires in months to start issuing crazy orders knowing the judge will retire soon and cannot be sanctioned

Someone who disobeyed Federal High court order and went with party convention even when the chairman of the convention backed down.

These are what history will remember Seyi Makinde for. You went into war thinking emotions can win.

The biggest benefactor of PDP in Nigeria after Obasanjo must be Makinde. Instead to sit as men and settle this you started throwing tantrums now the party is no longer in your hands. Shame!

helinues:
You didn't comprehend my comments. His time as Chairman, he had bad behavior hence been sacked.

Ganduje won more election than Oshiomole, had good relationship with others still resigned honorary.

That he Oshiomole was sacked because of some governors thinking he would impose president Tinubu in 2023 is a lie

That's a lie. Ganduje never produced a President not even governors. He only became chairman after Tinubu was sworn in so which elections did he win that was more than Oshiomole. You guys need to understand how to learn. Just because you hate Oshiomole and Tinubu doesn't mean you should not learn from his message. Hatred can always destroy your brain. Try to be rational, that's the essence of education.

erad:
How will people that passed through the 4 walls of a school ever say anything like this? How will it even work? This is what happens when thuggery is given a higher priority over intellect because a party that has intellectuals will never ever think of making such highly unreasonable accusation.

So let's assume for stupidity purposes that this is true, what happens if they can't repay the loan? The bank will take over the local governments? Jesus! See the thought process of a bunch of so called adults. Something a child will say and they should flog that child silly.

He whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad. Osun APC is starting to run mad.

By the way, since I saw the thread about Omisore dragging them to court, I already knew Mr Press9jatv is about to pay Nairaland for another front page propaganda. It's just sad Seun has allowed himself and his platform to be used for such. I don't know what they've promised you, but they can't be trusted. They'll only use you and dump you after their devilish aims have been achieved which will never be achieved in this instance.

Ask questions don't always show ignorance. First, till today LG funds are sent to states not LG directly, also when govt takes loan banks often want it to be deducted from source which means na CBN go deduct and send to lender monthly so na the remaining go reach the state.

In this year's budget the govt wants to take loan, something Adeleke didn't do in 3 years so why election year?

Both Adeleke and APC are all useless and terrible in leadership. I'm from Osun and that's a fact.

Obi no go congratulate am. Let it be an Igbo man o

https://dailypost.ng/2026/03/09/pdp-crisis-well-be-ready-if-you-go-to-supreme-court-wike-tells-aggrieved-members/

The funny thing about this PDP nonsense is people claiming the judges were bribed but when Oyo state high court was issuing nonsense judgement they didn't see bribery. Wike for all his faults his a very straightforward individual like Trump, they are both bullies but if you're very smart you see them from miles away unlike Tinubu who won't even talk. Dealing with a Wike is very simple as long as you can be reasonable but when you choose to be unreasonable you go collect from this Don.

Wike has been shouting since January last year that PDP should allow their Secretary complete his tenure that lasted in November, I can't imagine the juju used on them, one month to the end of his tenure they decided to suspend him which led to all this.

If Tinubu could suspend Fubara and still fight for him to remain in office by stopping his impeachment, can't we all see how Sim now wants to kill himself to also deliver Rivers for BAT?. That's what a leader does. If Tinubu could reengineer Reno and FFK back to his side, that's leadership. You don't have to think you know it all. I pity Makinde who is now sending thugs to attack the Wike faction in Oyo, they won't give his candidates ticket and infact if APC can get a responsible human being as candidate for governorship Makinde will be finished.

Na the only mob who likes to shout online but can't bite in real life I pity. HellRufai shouted in by-election in Kaduna his ADC lost badly, Abuja elections came they lost terribly. In Osun no one is even talking ADC with their Secretary from there, even Benue is worse as the fight is just between APC members. Internet is never and will never be real.

The earlier people know that Wike is not bribing judges but just activating the stupidity of opposition the better for everyone to know that strategy is always bigger than chest beating. Where MNK and HellRufai today? Both incarcerated and heaven did not fall.

For every country that have power to rival the world Bank or IMF with their mineral resources, we fund some militia group to destabilize the economy, with that chaos, we install our puppets as the leader who will privatize these resources so our people can buy them, and also ensure they borrow money from the IMF and the world Bank so they are forever indepted to us. Slavery did not leave Africa, it only change shape and form. It's just a pity that our differences already make it easy for them to implement it.

PDP was bad and corruption thrived so to say, by you see APC ehn, APC is evil, very evil and corruption is not just thriving it has become a way of life because of the hardship and corrupt life of the top leadership of the executive, legislative and Judiciary.

This is a country of 160 million Human beings who are multi dimensionally poor let that sink in. 160 million souls ushered into poverty and yet what matters to these broom waving witches and devils is 31:36

Labour Party and ADC would be worse. Tell me one major achievement of the LP lawmakers or the LP governor Otto besides media propaganda. ADC with its current set up will be more terrible. We need total overhaul and we the people need to understand that the current system will never favor the people
