zoedew: Typical of Nairaland. Posts that should throw up robust discussions from which our politicians can receive a shot in the arm and govern well are not usually pushed to FP so they can gain traction and come to the attention of our politicians.
@tax reform @education reform (nelfund, student loan, no ASUU strike, etc) @fx reform @financial system reform (bank recapitalization) @road infrastructure (lagos-calabar, sokoto-badagry, etc) @aviation reform (asks keyamo) @immigration reform (ask tunji ojo) @prison reform (ask Nnamdi Kanu) @port reform (president just signed a new contract with UK) @gas reform (cng, etc) @health reform (more than 4000 phc built/upgraded, going to 18000 plus, etc) @subsidy is gone (ask otti, more money for the state, ask your governors) @mining reform @ trade reform (positive balance of trade, etc)
...in progress: >power reforms, >security architecture (malami and El-rufai and other terrorists apologists are being rounded up) etc...
Dricker: yet your life is terrible and am sure you live from hand to mouth..supporting tinubu and benefiting from it is one thing but supporting him and you wallow in poverty is just pure madness..seek help my guy
creativejagaban: I was always answering your questions, but you are avoiding my own:
Now, can you explain why obi, your hero (who dumped thousands of people in akwusu river) is now hobnobbing with the so called criminals (the same structures of criminality) ?
He also said something about something happening to him if he ever leave APGA Do you think he is a man of principle
Brendaniel: So you are also admitting that all those working under Tinubu now are currently committing crimes and Tinubu is allowing it and working qith them to commit the crimes and he will only go after them if they leave him....

Brendaniel: I kinda see him as playing politics though, he doesn't want to join APC just like Soludo, because his people may reject him and he also wants to be on the good side of the president, because they know Tinubu can be very vindictive, he likes praises whether real or fake, he just wants to be praised....
So they give him what he wants while maintaining their positions...
Hmn..
That means your hero otti is not a man of principle. He is a praise singer
Remember, Tinubu was once a last man standing as a governor. What does that tell you? That was at a time when Obasanjo was very much vindictive and even withheld Lagos allocation for many many years.
So what exactly is otti afraid of? Has he committed any offense that will make the president beat him
Brendaniel: So when Tinubu was working with these same people you mentioned in APC, they were not terrorists abi?
Immediately they left they automatically became terrorist abi?
Funny enough, all the crimes they are being charged for was done under APC while working with the same Tinubu prosecuting them now, the question is why didn't he call for their prosecution while working them, it is only when they left him they turned to criminals.
It tells you something is wrong somewhere...
It means all those working with him now are saints till the day they decide to leave him...
So you admit that they committed the crime.
And they had to run to the opposition to avoid prosecution.
Now, can you explain why obi, your hero (who dumped thousands of people in akwusu river) is now hobnobbing with them (the same structures of criminality) ?
That they committed the crime while in APC, does not remove the crime from their skin after they joined ADC.
Remember your new hero, El-rufai, admitted publicly that he tapped the NSA phone number. What does that tell you about the intelligence the bokoharam have been getting?
If he had said this while still a member of APC, what would you have said? What would obi have said?
Brendaniel: If that is how you see someone speaking the truth, that is your problem, not mine...
Before now, Otti, your star boy has been saying the truth, but now that he praised the president profusely for removing the subsidy, I wonder if, to you, he is still saying the truth
Brendaniel: And billions gone just like that, same with Qatar, India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, France, China, Turkey and one Island like that, all turned out to be jamboree(I'm not surprised though), when Tinubu supporters were praising his performance as governor during the 2023 election, I kept on wondering, is it the same Tinubu of 1999 - 2007 of there is another one they are talking about?
Tinubu's governance in Lagos was more of Jamboree, that's why I'm not surprised with what he is doing, if you were not a kid then you will know Tinubu was a major player in making Night Shift coliseum very popular then...
I'm sure some of his supporters are even wondering what Night Shift Coliseum is, just google it, some of you people just follow nonsense propaganda
Remind us again, which party is your hero going to contest from again or is he planning to defect to accord party on the eve of ADC primary (Association of Desperate Criminals)
See, your wailing has not started, save it till post 2027 elections
floss: Otti don Dey misyarn as of recent ooo… the subsidies removal effect is only felt by governors … I want to see any Nigerian currently benefiting from it…. Oh he said in the long run…. That’s if this administration doesn’t steal the entire country dry …. Which they’re currently doing…
During a January 2026 Arise TV interview, Nasir El-Rufai alleged that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is deducting ₦100 billion monthly from the Federation Account without proper legislative approval, these unauthorized deductions have been ongoing for over 15 months, totaling approximately ₦1.5 trillion.
Remove the sawn dust from your medulla
Is El-rufai your new god now. How you have suddenly abandoned Kanu beats my imagination
ThePressNgr: The story of Safiriyu Tiamiyu is one of resilience, enterprise, and eventual decline—capturing both the promise and fragility of indigenous businesses in Nigeria.
Humble Beginnings
Tiamiyu began his journey as a small trader, travelling from Kogi State to Lagos to buy and sell garri. For over two decades, he remained consistent in the trade, gradually saving enough capital to venture into manufacturing.
In 1979, with a total of ₦5,000—₦2,000 in savings and a ₦3,000 loan from his father—he launched a soap-making business.
Birth of a Brand
That same year, ST Soap was established, filling a market gap at a time when bathing soap was relatively scarce compared to detergents like OMO Detergent and Klin Detergent.
The brand quickly gained popularity, particularly in southwestern Nigeria, driven by:
Strategic advertising on radio and television
Sponsorship of programmes like the Kola Olawuyi Show Nkan Mbe
Strong distribution across Ogun State and beyond
At its peak, the company employed over 1,000 workers and became a household name.
Crisis and Controversy
In 2005, Tiamiyu faced serious allegations involving ritual practices. Although he was later cleared by the court, the controversy significantly damaged his public image.
The reputational crisis led to:
Declining consumer trust
Reduced patronage
Gradual collapse of the business
Decline and Death
Following the downturn, Tiamiyu withdrew from public life as ST Soap faded from the market.
He passed away in October 2020 after a prolonged illness, marking the end
Fuel is 1,300 Terrorists are killing people in their hundreds and displacing communities Electricity grid is as epileptic as ever Inflation is unbelievable
YET, see what our people are celebrating 🎉🤣
You need both deliverance and therapy, bro. This is not normal.
Nice job you are doing there.
Continue to lament and complain till 2031. You are doing a job 👍
What exactly is wrong with this president and his praise singers?The country is completely scattered and already in all time low and these ones are smiling.To even eat these days you need to think well.Tinubus will end in shame and disgrace.
Go and read international news and find out what is happening across the world
If not for Tinubu's reforms, you will be queuing in filling stations by now (go and ask India how market - they are queuing in filling stations as we speak)
When last did you sleep at filling stations ⛽ mr small mind ?
naptu2: They went there because of the side events.
There are so many side events.
I created this post yesterday.
I've told you that Nigerians always make strange comments when their leaders travel and this time is no exception. I have addressed most of the strange comments, but this time I'm going to address something that I have rarely written about.
Delegations
I noticed the composition of the US president's entourage when he travelled in the 1980s. There were usually businessmen in his delegations and they usually struck deals with their hosts. I wondered why Nigerian presidents didn't do the same thing.
President Ibrahim Babangida made me happy in the early 1990s. He travelled somewhere and took people like Chiefs Gabriel Igbinedion and Sonny Odogwu with him. I was happy.
You see, the private sector is the engine of the economy and it is the private sector that grows the economy, not the government. I wanted Nigerian businessmen and companies to go out and conquer the world.
Let's jump forward a few decades to another time that I was happy. President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to Kenya sometime around 2014 and his visit shook Africa. There were reports that Africa's richest men had descended on Nairobi, some reports were about the number of private jets that flew to Nairobi and the Kenyan finance minister also spoke about it.
And over time I realised that it's not just the private sector, but the president also needs to go with heads of ministries, departments and agencies and also with state governors. We have seen the impact of such trips in recent years.
Trips to China by President Muhammadu Buhari gave us the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line, the Railway University, the completion of the Warri-Itakpe Line, etc. He took the minister of transport with him.
Trips to the the Middle East (especially the UAE) by President Tinubu led to construction of free estates for victims of Boko Haram attacks and to programmes to render assistance to the victims.
So President Tinubu has travelled to the UK and in his delegation are state governors, ministers, business executives, etc.
Already funny Nigerians are saying that these people only went to the UK to "greet" President Tinubu. They don't know what they are talking about. There are very many events that are happening on the sidelines of the visit and they require the presence of these people (people are talking about Sanwo-Olu and General Musa, but a lot of these investments will be done in Lagos and of course Nigeria is in talks with the UK about training and equipment for our troops).
I would have created a mega thread about these events if I could still post as many pictures as I wanted.
Great one 👍
But when you write such piece, put a caveat that it is not for small minds like the obidients. Because they have decided to be of reprobate mind.
Magabush1: I hope the discussions are fruitful one towards taking Nigeria to the next level. Everyone has just been interested in Nigeria lately. Nigeria must be great again
