Small boy Nafiu. Greed go end am before him even start life.
He has made enough money from all this drama, he only needs to negotiate his vice chairmanship North east or senatorial ticket now.
He should know by now APC has nothing to offer him asides all the money he is getting now. The flow will stop soon.
At most Tinubu will reward him with a board appointment but he will forever be branded a traitor and sellout.
Ralph Nwosu gave him the deputy chair slot to balance out the party structure between North and South anyone could have been given the appointment in Northeast.
he has turned around to bite the fingers that help him.

Lamidi Apapa and Arambambi were once flying private jets and living in 5 star hotels in Abuja. I doubt they can afford the new rate of Abuja airline tickets now without feeling the pinch in thier pocket

Amupitan scored an own goal with that interview he granted Ruben Abati.

He will now be on the defensive, his legal reasons for taking those decisions were watery and Ruben who isn't even a lawyer poked holes in them.

He even went as far as making wrong assertions using Zamfara elections as a reference which doesn't even relate to the matter at hand.

Him trying to sound helpful and unbiased totally came off as
"A case of helping me blow the dust in my eyes with pepper in hand".

This disruption of opposition parties is unprecedented and totally unacceptable.

Rogue agents on different platforms getting sponsored to use our courts to torpedo democracy will spell doom for the country. It can be acceptable now for the beneficiaries until we all get to abyss of authoritarianism.

Finally, the president can't be the person selecting his own umpire in his own election. The idea of senate approval as a way of checking administrative imbalance is weakened obviously when the likes of yes-men hold the affairs in the senate.
Selecting the inec chairman needs to be more robust involving neutral bodies like NJC, NLC, NBA, CSO'S, internal elections within inec etc
The president and his team shouldn't be selecting inec commissioners at all levels from state to federal to conduct thier elections. This is an extremely flawed process that gives little room for neutrality. Taking a oath doesn't make you neutral, the process of emergence also has to be neutral.

This just shows our politicians are mentally lazy. Symptoms of soo much stolen wealth.

They employ buy names lawyers who also collect 100s of millions just for grandstanding and reputation without much mental output.

This situation exposed the lack of proper due diligence.
Bala should have been on record signing with his lawyers present to prevent any claim of signing under duress. Can't believe all the past Governors, Ministers Senate president allowed themselves to be played.
Bala is Tinubu's joker card, he will make sure he scatters the coalition no matter how much it cost him financially to keep Bala going at them

Chienex24:
You are really clueless about world politics. I know you believe it was USA that sponsored Bokoharam and Iswap. But look inwards. Late Buhari said an attack on Bokoharam is an attack on the North. Nigerian soldiers arrest and attack any reprisals against Bokoharam, bandits and the likes. Buhari rehabilitated boko haram terrorists as repentant terrorists. Some were integrated into the military. Northern Governors paid huge sums of money to pacify terrorists because they see them as their brothers. What kind of result did you expect?? You are a bit daft, sorry to say , to believe it was USA that sponsored them.
Trump really hates Muslims to the extent of banning them to a large extent from entering USA. He is even trying to help this shameless country to save Christians. All over the world, extreme Muslim radicals have been the problem.

Even our northern rich oligarchs continue to use their poverty stricken region as a political tool for their selfish reasons, that is why they are perpetually backward. But you shamelessly ignore all these and look for America to blame. You can also blame America to for other West Africa Muslim nations that are in political turmoil battling insurgency!!

The issue is American's foreign policies in Africa and other 3rd world countries has been exploitative, forceful regime change for total control of land and resources. No right thinking leader will trust America with their anti-islam and terrorism rethorics.
Once your country's growth goes against Americans dominance, you become a threat.

The only country that doesn't hide it's foreign policies motive to dominate under some false terrorism pretense is China.

Those Governors that think they are safe by decamping to APC should have a rethink, A dictator is being moulded.

Murketeer:
Hope you won't call him a killer if he decides to start throwing bombs recklessly into Iran

Feels like you are smarter than all the world leaders that have refused to join the war.
Trump should look for his off ramp and let peace return.

okoliobinna84:
Iran will surely regret this war at the long run.

Regret wetin?
Why do you think previous USA administration was only applying heavy sanctions rather than direct confrontation?
Trump na Mvmu. He allowed himself to be used by Benjamin.

Normal Forex transaction. Any break in the chain, na middle man go carry the wahala.

Falseprofet2:
He can't be brutal to anyone when he is finally released.

Just more interview on arise TV. End

You have never had any fiasco with a short, powerful vindictive man.

Even the judge wey dey give effc,icpc the legal backing go collect in due time.

When the righteous rule, the people rejoice. Bro na God talk am, no be me. Proverbs 29 Vs 2

Evil people dey rule, hence the pain and suffering. No matter they efforts they put, they people will still suffer.

You can't fake this things and neither can you mock God.

concho:
So what happens after Buhari’s men gives him the ticket ?

Will he get more votes than sowore got in 2023 ? Or are you new to Nigerian politics or speaking out of your hatred for a particular candidate?

Anyways , bad governance favours my business , so I don’t care about your choice at the polls

Just keep rewriting the future of your kids

Listen to yourself, your assumption of anything against Peter is anti Nigeria doesn't sound insane to you?
I careless if Peter gets ADC ticket. He is a politician and whatever other title you want to attach to him which means he is also corrupt in his own way.
Just here to engage intelligent discourse and accommodate intelligent opinions.

For ADC it's Atiku first followed by Amaechi before Peter. Any reason Atiku steps down, then Amaechi will activate Buhari's men to give him the ticket.

His loyalty to Buhari was unquestionable and he used the transport ministry to build a strong Northern support.

He can't even a local government in Kwara as it stands today.

At least, prices will come down, Dangote cannot hold the country hostage.
As he don enjoy sef, make him too bear the losses in whatever form in the main time, as greed wan finish am.
Crude you no dey important
You still dey carry price go heaven
Baba rest, let the country breathe.

How will an importer get petrol cheaper in dollars than someone who refines here, pays cheaper labour, and reduced logistics through cng trucks.

Factor in the war happening in the gulf which has already choked supply worldwide!
The Nigerian government is just playing to the gallery to give an appearance of activity.
They are all clueless rogues.

My honest opinion is Dangote is still humane with the present pricing.

descartes400:
In order words, dangote refinery is saying domestic supply is not is priority!

Don't you think he should factor in domestic usage when entry into such an agreement when supplying external demands?

Now, if he has agreed to supply at a future date, a contract he must not breach and these becomes his modus operandi why neglecting domestic supply, in the both in the short and long run, this will affecting his refinery reputation in the country which will lead to government taking countermeasures just as they have done by reopening fuel importation.

Too late, unless the Government wants to subsidise dollars for another investor to build a refinery which will take another 7-10 years. Dangote has the Nigeria economy by the scrotvm. He can squeeze and release as he deems fit.

Where will the importer get fuel cheaper than Dangote
Every where don choke. No one importing can beat Dangote again.

The man na the smartest, manipulative, shrewdest businessman in the African continent.

No amount of money is worth losing her sleep. Good she settled out of court.

Utter nonsense. You should be preparing to answer for your misdeed to your maker old corrupt man.

Justice505:
I'm just trying to understand the part you said the government has to pay NNPC and the crude oil sellers some money for selling for loss like Nigerian now buy crude that we have in abundance from who from the soil or what. I understand that we produce 1.5 million barrel of crude a day and I also understand that the past administration has used part of our crude oil to collect loan, it's it out of place if we increase our production to 2 million or 2.5 million barrel a day or try to come to agreement with dangote to supply all the crude oil he needed at this time to at least reduce the price of fuel and diesel.

Some issues affect output of crude. OPEC quota for Nigeria is always below 1.5 million barrels.
Price control, international politics etc play a huge role in that aspect
Secondly, Nigeria doesn't have the infrastructure to produce so much partly due to Niger Delta disturbance pipeline vandalism that has affected the industry for decades. Other factors like piracy, theft still very much a factor in our oil industry

epainos:
Iran has lost this war because the US has finally lured the UK to join them. France is in the game too and so Germany too. NATO is joining.

The US is turning Iran to Iraq and Afghanistan. The end game is to either cause a civil war in Iran or something like hunger to destroy Iran. Iran is about to be removed from the Russia, N.Korea, China unity. One down...and the next will be to remove N.Korea too. The game is that Koreans will be one again under the leadership of the South Korean capitalism. I see these two issues occurring in my lifetime.

The only way Iran will not draw the British to this battle is to stop blocking oil vessels. That's it. This is the excuse the British is entering this war. Mark my words, France and Germany will join too the moment Iran attack the UK and NATO will enter Iran. That's the end.

If Iran doesn't attack the UK despite the Americans using their military bases, then, the war will be strictly between the Israel and Iran. The US will have to stop because the only reason to justify attacking Iran is to allow free movement of oil. Then, it will be Iran Vs Israel which Israel has been praying to happen for about 30 years. Lol. It will then be who has more weapons and intelliengence? Can the US supply Israel more weapons than what Russia, China and N.korea will supply Iran?

But as far as I know, Israel has the better intelligence so that Iranians brains will be removed one by one till they have no brain to win the war.

Either way, Iran is going to lose this war. But the real issue here is that will this war lead to a civil war or hunger in Iran so that Iran is totally removed from the picture permanently? This is the real goal of the Israelis and Americans. They will surely find every means to turn Iran to the powerless Iraq. Iran will be a shadow of itself in 5 years from today. This is the game. Mark my word. But Can this war lead to a civil war in Iran? This is the ultimate question.

Sounds like you have it all mapped out. Most of your takes are best scenarios for USA and the western countries.
The logical and most most feasible outcome of this war is for USA to continue with the bombardment with the agenda of creating a worldwide chaos to save face from this absolute shambles of the operation in Iran.
If after crippling Iranian airpace, killing scientists and military strategists, and heavy bombardment, they still can't bring the Iranians to thier knees then the operation was a massive failure.
Nothing the Brits are doing in this war, unless they are going to provide boots on ground which is the last resort in this fiasco. America and Israel already carry all the fire power needed for air assault and Israel has more intelligence than the Briton and CIA combined obvious by thier pinpoint elimination of targets in Iran.

Only way for this to end quickly is a ground assault and from all indicaton, it will be a meat grinder for any country that dares. That's the reason Trump has been erratic, he can't afford to send US soldiers to die after all the waste and decimation of thier weapons in the gulf.
For now, no politician in the west will dare send in troops into that terrain. It's a death wish.

Post is a rage bait. He used toilet in the palace not same as demanding to use Oba toilet.

Rvbbish nairaland allows for traffic

To think that the man stole all these money so his children won't need to fight or suffer for anything again in life. One of those properties can be sold for over 5 billion and the proceed enough share amongst themselves till they decide to sell another again. but thier greedy won't allow.

Life has a way of playing you a joker card.

The gas truck driver should be charged for manslaughter and the company liable for the damages.
Until we start demanding accountability from everyone, we will continue in the abyss of anything goes.

SpencerForbes:
That question will be better answered by search engines but I’ll give you a clue.

Iran never see any 'alert' from this 140 million barrels.

The U.S. only opened the tap to crash global fuel prices because their own inflation was hitting the roof. The money for that oil is basically 'Audio Money.' It’s going into escrow accounts that Tehran can’t touch for anything other than 'food and medicine.'

Plus, the waiver is only for the old stock already on the water. No new deals, no new production. The U.S. is basically using Iran's own oil to finish them. They get the supply to cool the market, but they keep the money and the pressure exactly where it is.

Your statements must have been hinged on Iranians been extremely stupid and hooked on western milk.
Donald messed up and risking Americans dominance by his shoddy knee-jerk planning and execution of the regime change.

Like other posters mentioned, once the gulf states start accepting yuan, Americans dominance is gone

DangoteAlhaji:
I as a person had overrated Putin and Russia. I still can't believe that Ukraine could last three weeks. Is this the Putin that will dare the US I doubt 🧐

Putin fighting NATO forces backed by USA. They are not fighting only Ukrainians.

Iranians folklores about war and conquests isn't just fables. Those Persians ain't to be messed with.
Read the book of Daniel to get good context, they once dominated the civilised world.

If only he knew. Wike rode them hard. Where's that Benue mvmu man?

His Ego won't allow him to go to ADC, from PDP southwest shining star to this present state.
No party for him and his candidates 2027. Wish him good luck.

This don't even know if na war them go use 2027 fight.
All thier life na election, politics and rigging cos that's the only thing that has given them wealth and prominence.

But why does E hailing services work in other countries? And is not working in Naija?

Fares are poor even in UK. Only seasonal surge in prices. Nigeria is not an exception.

Tables are turning, the marriage equation shifting towards productive women rather than the lazy beauty queens.
If you are a bachelor today and still enabling women to be lazy, you are worse than a simp.

Capernum:
You don't understand yet. Let me break it down. If a family inferior to yours hates your family passionately, and they keep shouting death, destruction and always threatening yoir family, yet your family is far superior in all terms, will you as the head of the family keep folding your arms when such family is gathering equipments to break your fence. If everyone in your street knows the level of hatred that family has for yours and almost all the other families love yours, will they call you a bully of you act to reduce the capacity of destruction of that enemy family. Sir, the best form of defense is attack.

Your analysis though understood is too simplistic to capture the root, essence and power play in the conflict that has existed for thousands of years. I get your drift tho

Elusive001:
Who arms Hezbollah, hamas, and islamic jihad?


Whatever you like talk, one thing I thank God for us that Israel is the antidote for islamic terrorism.

I no send USA.

No black n white in any religion or race. It's all a struggle for supremacy amongst humans. If you see that way, maybe you will think with more clarity than emotion.
Christianity is just as bad or good as the religion you condemn depending on what part of history you are researching.
