Sharpsharp00123: u are here hailing your own despite d fact that u know he's in jail n u knew what took him to jail.
But the same u wants every Yoruba to condemn tinubu who wasn't caught for any tribe.
It's taboo for yorubas to celebrate tinubu but u Igbos can celebrate ekweremadu even in jail.
I can bet if tinubu was an Igbo person u Igbos will hail him to high heaven.
To u Yoruba buts who believe being woke is throwing your own under d bus, think about it. These people only want u to destroy your own, they will always celebrate their own no matter how worse he is Nigerians abre the biggest hypocrites on the planet. |

Dogalmighty17: With the equipments modern fighter jets now possess, dogfighting has become an antiquated term. Most fighter jets now have BVR(beyond visual range) strike capabilities with fire and forget stand-off missiles. You don't need to visually spot the enemy before you engage. The American built F-35 for instance can engage targets 150 miles away and can attack planes that are right behind it.
That said, in 2025 if fighter pilots are dog fighting each other then something has gone terribly wrong. From the article, if you read it, you should know it wasn't a dog fight |

mohbadliveson: Years ago, Onanuga was busy abusing the PDP government. Now he can't see anything wrong in this government where he is eating. This old lying man will soon go into oblivion like his predecessor, Femi Adesina. Despite that, you cant deny that Onanuga also makes very valid points. Quality of life has many, many determinants. Rural people who have telephones today and can call their children in the city anytime can argue a better quality of life than 20years ago. |
Politics › Re: Nigeria Can't Sustain Electricity Subsidies, Brace For New Tariffs – Adelabu by COMPAQ(m): 11:55am On May 05, 2025 |
OndoNews: https://thenationonlineng.net/brace-for-cost-reflective-tariffs-minister-tells-nigerians/ This article suggests that the current N209/kwh for band A is cost reflective. if that is the case, the best way to restructure the tariffs is to have a tiered system where the first 100kwh consumed in a month is a bit cheap to cater for very low income folks, while from 100kwh per month to 999kwh per month is at the current band A price for everybody. Then above1000kwh per month is like N250, so that these ones are subsidizing the low income folks. It will also encourage those who use electricity unnecesaarily above 1000kwh per month to reduce consumption. of course all ive said here is for residential consumers. |

Sometimes it works where someone invests N1mln early and has made an extra N1mln before it crashes
But other times you put in N1mln and have only collected N250k before it crashes, so you lose N750k |

Nairaland General › Re: What Does Nairaland Need Right Now? by COMPAQ(m): 7:12am On Apr 15, 2025 |
festacman: Come on Seun, making this statement is shocking and disappointing: "I have lost touch with Nairaland and I don't really know what's going on here." I don't think Elon Musk would say that of Twitter.
The fact is that Nairaland is a cashcow that would always generate much more than it needs to maintain it. But, unfortunately, you don't seem to see it like that because of, may be, other business ideas.
My key recommendation is that you manage Nairaland closely like a going concern it is. Once, you do this, ideas for improvement like the original conceptualization of Nairaland will crystallize in your creative mind. It is your baby. Growing it should be intentional on your part rather than ONLY in reaction to critics.

Higher crude oil price means more money to the government and most will be looted or misappropriated while ordinary citizens pay price far more for fuel on the excuse of higher crude oil price in international market.

Skodiswayze: Point of correction, the Lagos rail line project is funded by the federal government, not state funding Nope that's incorrect. What FG did is the Lagos Ibadan rail line. The Blue line is funded by LASG. Most of the red line train tracks were done by the federal government as part of the Lagos Ibadan. However, the lagos state governments added a few tracks and built the red line train stations |
Travel › Re: Update On The Lagos Green Line Project by COMPAQ(m): 8:41am On Apr 06, 2025 |
nairalanda1: Lagos has the revenue to do such projects.
Most other states would have to take loans to do what Lagos is doing.
Even then, Lagos took 15 years to do two lines out of seven. 15 years. It's because the cost was too much. Not because it couldn't be done in 8. Ambode stopped for his entire 4 year tenure and it took Sanwo Olu the first 2 to 3 years of his first term to get it back on track. If it had never stopped, it could have been done in 4 to 6 years. |

Nigeria has one of the most powerful militaries in the world.
On the very same list, your country, Ghana is ranked 110th, so know your mates.
Global Firepower Index: https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.php Its not just about boots on the ground or even having the equipment. Its about the common sense and strategy and planning to utilize them effectively. Isn't it strange that in Nigeria they will tell you Bandits and the Army were in a firece gun battle for 5 hours. Yet a commercial plane will go from Lagos to London in 5hrs. So how come they never got air support in that time. Do we not have Air bases in the north? So there is nowhere in the North, that a jet cant reach in 1hr max and maybe even 30 minutes. So how are bandits fighting for 5 hours? We dont even have simple structure in place for immediate air support between Army and Airforce. |

PlasmaTV: Nonsense The fact that there's thousands of people are complaining about the same thing is something we should be wary of. The reality is that the majority are ignorant. Let me tell you some reasons why peoples data deplete. 1. Apps are set to auto update and they don't know. 2. Their WhatsApp, Instagram etc are set to auto download pictures and videos and they don't know. Majority of those videos in the apps are videos they will never watch, if ur busy and in plenty groups where they inundate you with one video or the other. 3. Youtube set to auto, so when network improves, it will be streaming at 1080p, when 480p on a small, high resolution device is probably ok. 4. If their data is sharable, people can be stealing their data without them knowing. Like your kids, bothers, your shop boys etc You Gen Z folks spend hours a day on Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, Telegram, Tik Tok, watching all manner of HD content, then you will be complaining that your data is finishing quickly.
