I separate a person's entire character from a single opinion. Disagreement on one point does not wipe out everything else. It is possible to analyze and use an idea without endorsing the person who said it.

This is something I have seen from the olodo uprising too. We were taught to disagree with ideas. I do not like what Mrs Tinubu said but if tomorrow, she says something that makes sense, I will take it. Tinubu made sense when he was in opposition, today I am holding him to his words.

If we only listen to people we 100% agree with, we will end up talking to nobody but ourselves.

people say things to sway opinions then when they get to that position they start doing rubbish...

so it is not a dis-agreement, it is the person showing who they really are.

I don't know what "olodo uprising" is..

he made sense when he was in opposition because he wanted to be president and now that he is there he is doing worse than all past presidents combined..

it seems you did not read this comment below in order to understand 1st lady's point of view..

Remi Tinubu’s “advice” that Nigerian women should go and fry akara, sell roasted corn, and hawk kulikuli to survive is not just tone-deaf, it is a disgusting display of elitist detachment from the hell millions of Nigerians are living in.

This is a woman whose family lives in obscene luxury, shielded by state resources, while the masses she lectures are drowning in inflation, unemployment, and hunger caused in part by the very policies her husband champions. Telling struggling families to “go and sell akara” as a serious economic solution is not wisdom, it is mockery. Akara and kulikuli cannot pay rent. They cannot buy school books. They cannot cover hospital bills in a country where one malaria episode can wipe out a month’s earnings.

This is the height of arrogance from a First Family that has turned Nigeria into a brutal emerging caste system: them at the top in private jets and bulletproof luxury, while the rest are expected to accept petty trading as their eternal destiny. And the worst part? The sycophants standing behind her, nodding vigorously like broken puppets, clapping for crumbs. Prosperity will judge all of you. Your own children will one day sell akara and roasted corn on the streets. Your daughters will hawk kulikuli under the sun while the children of the powerful study abroad and inherit empires.

This is not leadership. This is class warfare disguised as advice. The Tinubus are not building a country, they are entrenching a new feudal order where the poor must remain grateful for crumbs while the ruling class feasts. History will remember this moment as one of the most insulting utterances ever made by a First Lady to a suffering nation.

Most people underated those business because they have degrees but not knowing that there are a lot of opportunities in those businesses called poverty line business. Most of them have house of Thier own wether Mini flat or 2bed and eating well than a salary earners with 250k, 300k per month raising shoulders.

keep deceiving and lying to yourself..

SixSeven:
Nigeria's First Lady told unemployed, university-educated youths to go fry Akara on the street because "it is not difficult." Then, an APC chieftain said he is "filled with shame" because the youth got angry at this "honest advice." Honestly, I agree with him! It is a brilliant advice. In fact, let's start the implementation with the politicians' families.

Imagine a politician's son landing in Abuja straight from London with a first-class degree from Oxford. His dad hugs him at the airport, hands him an apron, a giant iron pot, and says:
"Welcome home, my boy! We have secured a prime spot for you next to the gutter on the highway. Go and fry akara for Nigeria's economic recovery!"

Because if street-corner frying is a dignified career path for Nigeria's future, surely it's good enough for the children of the elite! Why hide them in high-paying CBN and NNPC jobs? Give them the frying pans first! Let them lead by example!

Politicians love telling the public to "tighten their belts" while they are busy buying luxury SUVs and expanding their own waistlines. They crash the economy, destroy the power grid, and then wonder why you can't fry beans in the dark. Peace be for you

Awolowo was a hypocrite so don't use his quotes...

agulion:
Nigerian govt did worst than this to the Biafran people

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa.

Only reason there's poverty in the SE in 2026 is because in 1966 certain SE soldiers and leaders who had zero knowledge of economics could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and due to their superiority complex and mindset to always dominate non-SE people they ignorantly chose to destroy the regionalism that would have made every SE person filthy rich and start a civil war..

Biafla was a war used by wyte people to impoverish the SE region and turn SE people eyes away from the oil.

IAM4BAT4plus4:
It's obviously bigger than your maturity
..


Peace ✌️

if you were matured you would already know to leave inheritance for the next generations and how it stabilizes them..

sentence the man to death or 40 years..

A criminal is a criminal no matter the crime.

Nigeria only exists on paper.

Let everyone put in work so that their regions can progress.

Every region in Nigeria cannot progress at the same time.

IAM4BAT4plus4:
Na wa o...







If you want a peaceful life for your children after your death, never leave anything behind in terms of materials properties. It is always a curse among the children even if it is only one wife you have.


Just train them to be independent and help stabilize them in their different fields...


Don't just send them to school alone. School certificates are just for the sake of having them no matter the level.! (bitter truth)



Let them use their hands and brains productively!

Stop saying rubbish.

Wealth, material and network transfer to the next generation is very important to prevent children from starting over again.

Mujtahida:
They will soon meet their mate

if you understand how business works then you will know that Fifa will do anything to ensure they either defend the World Cup or reach the Finals again...

They have no mate in this world cup.. Thanks to their star man they make Fifa a lot of money and Fifa will never throw away their golden goose..

CodeTemplar:
It is more of a protectionist / survival thing for most. This land grabbing thing too is true but how many of the bandits own cows?

The people that gave them the cows to graze don't want to buy grass and build ranches.

I have seen a fenced and gated land in ibadan where cows were kept and prevented from going outside. The land was like half of a football field filled with weeds.

Odunayaw:
No. Czech has been misplacing passes, turning over possession unforced and been lethargic going forward. Their fitness is also suspect.

If we can call out the poverty in winner Mexico, we can do that fairly here.

Thats the point.

Czech is beatable and this means S.A is playing better than Czech.

CodeTemplar:
I used the AI summary but it is backed accurate data.
The output in Nigeria is laughable. The point is that nomadic style of rearing cattles is an all round budden.

The person i quoted was the one i was accusing of using Ai.

I did not know or suspect that you used Ai.

Nomadic style is a cover for sinister things.

Odunayaw:
Czech has played badly this second half

Stop saying a team or a player played badly..

Say the other team or player played better than even if the other team or player are not the favorites to win.

AngelSlay:
The comparison between Kenya and Nigeria's dairy sectors is interesting, but it also oversimplifies a much more complex reality.

Yes, Kenya has achieved impressive results through intensive dairy farming, cross-breeding, and strong industry regulation. There is no doubt that Nigeria can learn valuable lessons from Kenya's success.

However, comparing the two countries as if they operate under identical conditions ignores some important differences.

First, Nigeria's cattle population is spread across a much larger landmass with diverse climatic conditions, security challenges, and varying levels of infrastructure. Transitioning millions of cattle from traditional pastoral systems to intensive dairy farming is not something that happens overnight.

Second, pastoralism in Nigeria is not merely a farming method; it is a centuries-old way of life for many communities. While modernization is necessary, any transition must take into account social, cultural, and economic realities. Sustainable reforms require collaboration with livestock owners, not just criticism of existing practices.

Third, low milk production is not solely a result of open grazing. Factors such as inadequate veterinary services, poor access to quality feed, weak cold-chain infrastructure, limited investment in dairy processing, and insufficient breeding programs also play significant roles.

That said, the numbers clearly show that Nigeria cannot continue doing things the same way and expect different results. With over 20 million cattle, producing only a fraction of the milk required by the population represents a huge economic opportunity that remains largely untapped.

The lesson from Kenya is not that Nigeria should abandon everything overnight. The lesson is that investment in improved breeds, ranching, feed production, extension services, and dairy infrastructure can significantly increase productivity and reduce dependence on imports.

The goal should not be to prove that one country is better than the other. The goal should be to ask why a nation with Nigeria's vast livestock resources is still importing large quantities of dairy products and what practical steps can be taken to change that.

Kenya's success should be seen less as a criticism of Nigeria and more as evidence of what is possible when policy, investment, and productivity improvements align behind a common goal.

stop giving codeptemplar chatgpt responses

there is no dairy industry in Nigeria like raph82 has said..

Nigeria's cattle is just a cover for a particular tribe to carry out terrorist attacks on the indigenes...

CodeTemplar:
Kenya’s highly lucrative dairy sector almost entirely relies on intensive and semi-intensive farming (zero-grazing and stall feeding), producing roughly 4.5 billion liters annually. Conversely, Nigeria's dairy industry is dominated by pastoral open grazing, yielding just 0.53 billion liters despite having a similar cattle population to Kenya.

Milk Production & Cattle Yield
Kenya: Through cross-breeding high-yielding dairy cattle (like Friesians and Ayrshires) and feeding them in controlled stalls, Kenyan dairy cows average 8 to 30 liters per day. Kenya is a net exporter of dairy products in East Africa, heavily supported by industry oversight from the Kenya Dairy Board.

Nigeria: Nigeria has a cattle population of over 20 million. However, the indigenous breeds used in open-grazing systems yield only about 2 to 2.5 liters per day. As a result, Nigeria spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually on imported milk to meet its nutritional needs.

Nigeria does not have over 20 million cattle..

that 20 million is a lie..

in Nigeria, cattle are a cover for invasion and terror*sm. cattle is not for milk production..

most of the milk production is done by southerners.

Napoleon55:
I believe the reason we could not beat DR CONGO in 90 minutes is not just because they are stronger than us,but because Osimhen couldn't finish that game, he only played 45 minutes, and it was still the time we relied heavily on Osimhen to win a match.

exactly..

the other reason is Osimhen was the main one doing the pressing from the front which made him stress himself....

there was a match where one unknown speedy player Olusegun was playing the RW and also pressing which helped relief Osimhen and allowed the S.E to attack more rather than the opposing team pinning the S.E to their own half.

mostob:
I like as Ronaldo fan boys gentle.
BTW, Benardo used to be good but lately he has been confidently playing rubbish.
The reason people were so hyped about Portugal is due to PSG recent successes.

Bernardo had a yellow card which led to him been subbed and was been marked properly by DRC defenders.

DRC is a disciplined team and has integrated most of their foreign borns into the team which the Super Eagles has failed to do, so no one should under-estimate them..

Imagine this Portugal team or any top ten ranked team facing a Nigeria that has Musiala, Olise, Eze, Saka, udogie, Osimhen, Balogun, Danjuma, Adeyemi, Akanji, Alaba e.t.c...

minfelix:
Oh yeaaa we need creative midfielderssssss….see ehnnn if we can’t beat DRC and maybe tying us to a draw game, we must learn to pin them down to their half….it was so annoying we all were praying for ref to blow final whistle 😂🤣😂😅….all our boys don gas out…only Nwabali,Bassey and Benjamin fought and kept us till penalties…Osimehn own baba enter dressing room no come out again😂🤣😂
Iwobi confuse
Arokodare comot for attack join defenders🤣😂
Moses simon turn mumu
Lookman turn spirit😂🤣
kai kai kai kai i so hate that day walai

the Super Eagles needs passing and moving training especially one-two training and passing as soon as they get the ball they are too static that's why they get pinned to their own half and they don't isolate other players by not closing the passing distance between themselves..

Skullminers1:
This is exactly the same thing that will happen to Yorubas that have doing their Xenophobic in their region by asking Igbos to leave because the day Igbos will leave not only Lagos but the rest of Yoruba States they will eventually regret it.
Take for instance how Lagos got deserted during Christmas festival and New Year entire Lagos becomes ghost land then you can imagine when Igbos leave completely.
A word is enough for the wise and I know they will come against me like headless Chicken but I have said my own

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

when it comes to natural resources wealth the SE is extremely richer and wealthier than the SW and the rest of Nigeria.


Only reason there's poverty in the SE in 2026 is because in 1966 certain SE soldiers and leaders who had zero knowledge of economics could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and due to their superiority complex and mindset to always dominate non-SE people they ignorantly chose to destroy the regionalism that would have made every SE person filthy rich and start a civil war..

Biafla was a war used by wyte people to impoverish the SE region and turn SE people eyes away from the oil.

JohnBullMySon:
Even if he scored it, France would have still equalized lol. France was ready for them in the 2nd half.

If he scored it, all Senegal would have to do is park bus and use counter attacks.

Rhymeyjohn:
President Tinubu is more interested in holding to power than to make the lives of Nigerians better. He is a master strategist in "grab it".

With the way he was intentional about becoming the president, one would think he wanted to make a difference. Like his brother, Buhari, his government has been calamitous.

He removed subsidy on fuel while subsidising the lives of Nigerians.

The self acclaimed iragbiji man is actually a pulani from gaaaambiaa that's why he allows the zerrorists to over run the country..

he has no siblings anyone knows about

he has no parents anyone knew about

he has no cousins anyone knows about

he has no pictures of him in primary school and secondary school

he has no pictures of him when he was a teenager

the above can only be possible if the person is an immigrant.

Parachoko:
Even if they win at the Appeal and Supreme Court, no Government will enforce it

In the SE they won't enforce it.

But in the SW the SW muslims will enforce it since most of them are half pulani or illegal immigrants from pulani nations brought to the SW by those that are half pulani.

onuman:
Stop learning Nigeria's history from the mouths of those who thought they won the civil war.
Ironsi was with the military governor of southwest region when northern coup d'etat plotters killed Ironsi and the military governor of the southwest region.

Therefore, regional government was there when Ironsi was killed.

Ironsi was the head of state of Nigeria.

ironsi created "Decree No. 34", which abrogated the country's federal structure in exchange for a unitary one.

This regionalism issue has been tackled many times and you keep repeating the same nonsense and false history to protect your demonic and satanic igbo heroes.

Only reason there's poverty in the SE in 2026 is because in 1966 certain SE soldiers and leaders who had zero knowledge of economics could not forecast the oil boom that awaited the SE region and due to their superiority complex and mindset to always dominate non-SE people they ignorantly chose to destroy the regionalism that would have made every SE person filthy rich and start a civil war..

Biafla was a war used by wyte people to impoverish the SE region and turn SE people eyes away from the oil.

stop trying to revise history in order to let A.i pick wrong information.

Parachoko:
The guy is not ready to face reality

Nigeria is not ready for this at this point, we're not yet Matured up to that level, it will lead to serious Anarchy

exactly...

non-indigenes will mass-travel to one state they are not indigenes and vote their own ethnicity in that state then sideline and impoverish the real indigenes..

this is a tactic from the people that deceived the Hausas...

I believe the law will pass because the self acclaimed iragbiji man is actually a pulani from gaaaambiaa...

dettolgel:
They are testing the water, if they can take it to supreme court and win then Lagos State don enter wan chance Abuja will fall in line next and then Kano

its the oil producing states they are targeting...

they are preparing southern Nigeria for another civil war where only people from the 2 major southern tribes will kpai themselves.

Razzness:
It is bigots like you that will not make it work. As a Delta person why should I bat an eyelid if an Efik man born here, was raised here probably has a family here is granted an indigene certificate by the state.

stop saying talking to parachoko like that and read this post below by naija1stnigar....

which in summary naija1stnigar says he got a benefit that was meant to go to an Ondo indigene because he knew the politician beyond politics and also note naija1stnigar claims his dad is from Anambra while his mom is from Edo so in reality naija1stnigar is meant to get benefit from Anambra or at worst Edo state..

why "you should bat an eyelid" is because your unborn children or your siblings and relatives children will not get the benefits they deserve because people like naija1stnigar will steal it from them because they know the politician..

naija1stnigar:
The court's judgement is constitutionally right but the question is has Nigeria advanced to that level? If going by this judgement, my mother is from Edo and my Dad from Anambra but I was born and raised in Akure Ondo State, that automatically makes me an Akure man, but most times when I try to make any sensible comment social media, name checkers will try to counter me simply because of my name, I could remember there was a benefit that was to come to me through a politician some years back, many fought me on the basis of tribe, if not that I had known that politician beyond politics, I would have lost that benefit. I just hope we'll get there someday but for now, the country is so tensed that we suspect everyone of ourselves on the basis of tribe. We are still not matured for this!

Look at the combined amount APC has borrowed since 2015.

APC has destroyed Nigeria and continues to destroy Nigeria.

This is a serious security breach.

Lithiumite:
The very reason Nigeria is in the economic mess its in right now,you ate away your surplus without investing in your society......if that same jakande you always love to refer to had insisted on building a good tax administration system,lagos would have been far more wealthy and more sustainable than it is right now......sanwo olu wouldn't still be bothered about building roads or schools.
Till date nigeria's total tax revenue is still at an abysmal 13% of gdp below the WB and IMF recommended 15% minimum,one ofvthe lowest in africa and you expect world class social amenities.

Compare the population now to what was in jakande era sanwo olu needs to cater for over 20m people with same space and limited resources and how much revenue the country was making considering the value of the naira at the time.....majority lagosians over 80% pay no taxes to govt.

anonimi is right..

Nigerians already pay =

property taxes ( especially in Lagos ),
property insurance fees ( in lagos ),
Drivers license fee,
Car insurance tax,
phone credits or airtime tax,
Passport renewal fee
VAT,
ATM taxes e.g ATM fees,
electricity taxes,
phone data taxes,
fuel taxes since subsidy was removed,
bank taxes for using banking codes,
bank monthly charges,
bank ATM card maintainance taxes or fees,
import duties taxes that phone importers and other foreign goods imposed on Nigerians..
e.t.c...

In Nigeria, everyone already pays multiple tax

nairalanda1:
Unfortunately it is.

Nigeria's tax to gdp ratio is way below the global standard, and way below the African standard.

Ghana is a country some people say better pass NIgeria. Ghana has a tax to gdp of 25%. Nigeria's own never pass 15%. And Ghana has the same issues with corruption and accountability as we do. (Spend some time on Ghana reddit. You go think say na Nigeria site you be)>

Also, when most of the population both rich and poor is not paying tax, they won't care about how tax money is spent, and that means they won;t pay attention and hold their government officials accountable.

Most Nigerians want to be like Saudi, with the flawed idea that oil money from 1.3 million bpd can give us the good life, when it cant. (Saudi also has a massive corruption problem...again because most saudis don't pay tax, and most don't care).

If you want your government to work, tax , and doing the hard work of holding them to account will work. Otherwise, nothing will change. The same thing you are complaining about, is what they said in the 1980's and even back in the 1960's.

nairalanda1:
Yes, because most of you do not want to pay the kind of taxes they pay in the USA, which their various local governments and city government use to provide anemites.

A city like Lagos has 25 million, yet the budget is 3.1 billion dollars. In the same USA, a city like LA that has 12.1 million people..half the population as Lagos has a budget of 5-6 billion for its police force alone

Yes, we say that government would loot the money, and you are not wrong, but the reason why government loots the money is that most of the money we use for development in NIgeria comes from oil money..not from taxpayers. Meanwhile, USA cities rely on taxpayer money. And yes US politicans can be as corrupt as Nigerian politicans...yet because most of the government money comes from the people's pockets there, they have no choice but to run the country well, or else.

You will now come and tell me that

1. I am backing government: Government that cannot raise up to 30 billion or more dollars for a whole Lagos to be like the develoiped country, that cannot raise funds from the illegal mines in this country, that cannot fight corruption, na that one I go support?

2. Nigeria is not USA. Yes, but there is no where a city of 25 million can provide even third rate anemites for all on just 3 billion dollars.

And that oil money that forms about 80% of revenue for nigeria is not enough, we end up borrowing to make ends meet, or wait for oil prices to rise, hence our debt,

Meanwhile at the end since you cannot pay government to provide your anemities, you go pay for am.

And we don;'t want to vote leaders that would make us more money.

Personally, I am voting tinubu out, so that we can see what obi go do, and if Obi cannot make us more money, make him go. And yes, part of the solutuon is everyone pays tax, or we just accept we are a third world nation and live like one.

you have come with your un-educated rants again you government keyboard warrior..

Nigeria does not need billions of dollars in taxes for it to develop because the minimum wage in Nigeria is different and much lower than in western countries...

these means that what will cost $100million to build in U:s:A can cost about $14million or less to build in Nigeria...
