Very good job mr Wike and FG

Spot on Seun. I was also wondering what other “restructuring” is Oby talking about again after all this admin has already been putting in place.

Well I like the productive discourse around State Police, restructuring and the likes.

We need more intelligent deliberations like this to move the country forward.

seunmsg:
The constitution is why Boko Haram are killing people? The constitution is why Ipob are killing people and eating human flesh? The constitution is why fulani terrorists are kidnapping people and displacing villages?

The duplicitous character of this woman is worse than that of Peter Obi. What exactly is the definition of restructuring in Nigeria's context if not what Tinubu is doing? Local government autonomy, regional development commissions for all regions, decentralization of electricity generation and distribution, tax reforms to give states and LGA more revenues, now state police. So, what's restructuring if not all these?

When Oby was in bed as minister with Obasanjo, what restructuring did she put in place other than messing up the secondary school system? When Jonathan was president, what restructuring did he introduced? Now that someone is finally getting things done, they are still hating on him. Sigh!

Nigerians looking forward to this

Very welcome development from the CBN

BioData45:
Banks knows how to leverage people's fund. But if you mistakenly approach them for loan, the interest alone won't allow you spend 5 minutes before you rush go back home.

Exactly! Nigeria banks no Dey try at all.. with huge profits being posted.


See in the UK 🇬🇧, Banks will call you (be it citizen or residency) and offer you good loans at very minimal interest rate..

While you’re right, let’s appreciate the fact the price is going down.. we hope it goes down further.

Politicstoday:
With the US-Iran deal signed & the Strait of Hormuz reopening, global crude prices WILL fall. Dangote Refinery has no excuse — gantry price should drop to ≈₦900/litre.

Nigerians deserve pump prices of ₦950–₦1,050/litre. NOT ₦1,300+.

The Hormuz crisis inflated prices. The crisis is ending. The savings must flow to the people. 🇳🇬

#NigeriaFuelPrice #HormuzDeal #DangoteRefinery #PMS

Very good news and huge relief for Nigerians

We look forward to more reductions soonest.


Trump and co… una really countries STRONG THING with this Unnecessary war o.. putting so many nations under untold economic hardship!

Good for them.. wish them the best!

Antoeni:
These Demons Just Want to Spoil Peter Obi's Chance

Lol.. which Obi chance are you talking about?

Obi has long finished his little change with silly support for Kanu and agitation.. he’s not smart at all.

The race is btw the incumbent and Atiku.. I’m sure you know this

"For context, Peter Obi’s careless and self-serving comments on the trial, conviction, and sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu are a major slap on not just the Nigerian judiciary, but more of an insult against the judiciary of Finland, where Simon Ekpa, Nnamdi Kanu’s protégé, was tried, found guilty, and is currently serving a six-year jail term for terrorism-related offenses."

most unfortunate from Obi!

Excellent job by the DSS

Flangelo12:
That's a stupendous number in just one country in Africa.
We must not normalise it.

Exactly my response to that unfortunate fellow.. just see how he was trying to justify such a monumental embarrassment

Don’t Be Silly and Ridiculous! For Every One Nigerian in jail/imprisoned in a foreign country, hundreds and thousands of Innocent Nigerians travelling abroad or based abroad are subjected to UNJUST PROFILING.

Several times I landed in Europe, I’m almost always been put aside at Airport for search by security agents cos of my passport.. while other countries’ citizens just walk through.

E bi like say you no know the shame these people don put us.

Stop supporting criminals!

givedemwotowoto:
For every Nigerian incarcerated abroad, there are millions of Nigerians living honest, productive, law-abiding lives across the world.

So let's not focus on the number in isolation. That's the media creating a bias in you.

The fact is that the overwhelming majority of Nigerians are decent people contributing positively to their communities and host countries.

Ah this is so much o… what’s happening to our Igbo brothers eh? Absolutely despicable!

EKONGKING:
Majority of them are held in drug smuggling cases on route to Asia via Air Ethiopia .

I was about to ask as well.. I suspected it will be drug related but I was wondering how come they’re held in Ethiopia prisons. Thanks for the clarification

It’s Such a Shame to the image of the country!

Good one

ogaontop:
The amount may not be impressive, hence the reason they didn't mention it.
Most acquisition stories I have heard comes with amount!

Exactly!

boxypane:
Wow!!! What about the families destroyed? Livelihoods destroyed? Lives lost including those of soldiers and policemen? Caused by agitators under the command of Nmandi Kanu.
On this, P.Obi is a flop.

Exactly!

Very unfortunate comment from Obi

Ttalk:
Who are Peter Obi advicers. There are things a presidential candidate must not dabble into while seeking political office.

Peter Obi is proving Nigerians who think he is a mediocre right.

An absolute mediocre he is!

Brilliant analysis… Indeed The President has done brilliantly and bravely.

The major thing I disagree with him for is giving state Governors bulk of subsidy proceeds, i.e increased state allocations with nothing to show for it from most governors..

The President should have channeled bulk of the Proceeds directly to:
1. Power
2. LG - he can enforce the for God’s sake
3. Direct disbursement and empowerment to Nigerians - cutting off state governors
4. micro-economic stabilisation - massive investment in Agric food chain - from the farm to the markets, including logistics. Foreign countries do this by buying direct from farmers to markets

Lastly but most importantly the President should keep doing more on security… no investment is too small.

CharlesCNG:
I agree with you. but macro still matters.
Macro is important because a sick foundation cannot produce a healthy house.

If the exchange rate is chaotic, reserves are weak, subsidy is bleeding government, and debt is choking the treasury, then life at the market stall will only get worse over time.

So macro improvement is like repairing the engine of a bus.
Passengers may still be sweating inside for now, but if the engine is not fixed, the bus will not move at all. A fair conclusion is this: the reforms are working at the level of stabilization, reserves, ratings, market confidence, and some structural repair — but they are not yet working enough in the kitchen, transport park, and market stall. Both things can be true at the same time.

He said: “There’s no reason for keeping Nnamdi Kanu. I will free Nnamdi Kanu as President, he has done nothing wrong, the government has no reason to arrest him because he was speaking and calling people names on radio, it doesn’t make sense.

This is Absolutely Most Unfortunate from Obi!

It’s very unfortunate the sheer number of people who have died from Kanu and his ipob gang

Good response

senatepresido:
Most Obidients are too politically naive

Exactly

yarimo:
Mumu man the same agitators that you are supporting behind the scenes .

Exactly! He thinks Nigerians don’t know

Olamideayomide:
Please our federal government should do the needful, sanction the state governors that refused to grant the LG full autonomy financially, security wise

Well supported

Noted.. the great Yaradua dynasty

That is why this administration declared a security emergency and approved the recruitment of more than 50,000 new police officers and thousands of military recruits. Our 2026 budget commits N5.41 trillion—our largest ever—to defence and security. Our administration is ever ready to do much more to secure our people.

Very good..

Let’s support the govt in fight against insecurity

Babangidapikin:
Congratulations to Oga Babajide Otitoju

Exactly! Big congrats to BKO

Well said mr President

Good one. Let’s support the govt to do more. No country in the world is 💯 free from insecurity.

“Over 13,000 terrorists have been neutralised in the past year,”

13,000!.. Na wa o.. how come these terrorists plenty like this? May God help this country oh

Lol 😂.. Naptu well said.. But let me correct you

The BIGGEST WHATEVER - disadvantage, obstacle, problem, you name it - TO OBI IS OBI HIMSELF!… and not anyone else.

His incompetence, indecisiveness, selfcentredness, weakness, is the cause of all this.

Who born people well to dictate for a strong leader, no body!

naptu2:
The biggest disadvantage that Peter Obi has is Obidients.

The biggest obstacle to Peter Obi becoming president is Obidients.

The biggest problem for Peter Obi is Obidients.

Obidients are a curse to Peter Obi.

Obidients destroy whatever Peter Obi tries to build.

Obidients are the biggest helpers to opponents of Peter Obi.

Obidients are working hard to ensure that Peter Obi never becomes president.

The job of Obidients is to fight with anybody that can help Peter Obi.

If Peter Obi never becomes president it will be because of Obidients.

Indeed!

Well said mr Moore

SlavaUkraini:
Because Peter Obi is afraid of his Supporters

He cannot call them to order, when it is obvious that they are wrong...

That is weak leadership...

Exactly!

Counterigbolies:
Kwankwanso wey dey stylishly scheme for 2031, he's only laying strong foundation for his ambition

Exactly! Very cunning politician he is

Such an embarrassment to Obi and Kwankwaso.. see result of hopping from party to party looking for osho-free ticket

Such a shame!

Why are you kids always critical about everything.. even this good news Nigerians have been clamouring eh!

Na wa for Una o.. grow up pls!
