shotuns:
If you've ever worked in that company , you will understand that he is truly a ritualist. I worked as a factory worker there once, and I can categorically say the allegation was true. But now he's gone; may God forgive his shortcomings.

What evidences do you have to that effect, PROBABLY NONE.

Know this, that someone is into TRADITIONAL PRACTICE does not make him a ritualist.

He was supposed to have expanded big time across Nigeria

Sad indeed. ST soap that year

Kingosytex:
Abaribe is one of those who haven't achieved anything tangible staying in the senate. He has no developmental project whatsoever in his constituency. All he does is, go back to his constituency during elections, tell them that Ndi Igbo are marginalized, say some good things about Nnamdi Kanu and it's a done deal automatically

Next election, hes a goner.

Mattswaggz:
Starmer could be said to have just meet cluelessness and corruption in person.

Your papa would have appreciated it if he was clueless, corrupt but GREAT.

Run am if E easy to be senator, two term Governor and president. All these NONENTITIES and their cheap opinions on social media.

Duplicate thread everywhere

I am here to ensure that you work hard for your money. You will quote and quote, yet it won't change anything.

Tell the people that are paying you to increase your salary.

No matter how much he is paid, obi and Atiku no go near aso rock AGAIN. Please let this sink into their heads very well.

naptu2:

Aliko Dangote, Gilbert and Ronald Chagoury, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Aruma Oteh, Mo Abudu, Tiwa Savage, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Bosun Tijani, Dauda Lawal, Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, Dele Alake, Seyi and Layla Tinubu, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, etc.

Jesus🤦‍♂️, wetin Tiwa savage dey do for Tinubu party? 🙊

naptu2:

This is some big fat joke, right?

Oh okay! April Fool's Day is just by the corner

One month earlier. This is March fool O.

helinues:
This is commendable. My fair is the future governor of Oyo state because those who are showing face for the 2027 election in the state are mostly religion fanatics

And the penkele that is not a religious fanatic is just highly incompetent to even be a local government chairman. I no fit carry my vote give that obese phool.

Dogalmighty17:
Jonathan did exactly what Tinubu is doing now. He used millions of dollars in hard cash to try buying support from politicians and the clergy. They all collected the money and still worked against him. Dele Momodu knows what he's talking about.

2027 is just around the corner. You people said more than this before 2023 elections, and that time Tinubu wasn't even President.

Moroccoguy:
This egbon go just open mouth they yern rubbish.

They know they will just waste money to contest next election, the thing dey pain them.

The way Tinubu will thrash them in the next elections will scatter their coalition. Imagine paperweight politician coming out to fight the GODFATHER IN THE HEAVYWEIGHT CATEGORY. The beating will be too much.

How I wish a good Premier League club will sign Osimhen

None for now, mbeumo is already doing his work at Man United. No other PL Team is ready to spend lavishly again. Chelsea would have signed him if Abramovich was still the owner but these new Chelsea owners are just business men who want to make money OFF CHELSEA'S GLORY, theyre not interested in making Chelsea bigger.

yahaya1:
For urban area is better to buy but there many options to be considered.

You sincerely don't know how you have been ripped off plus many NIGERIAN DEVELOPERS use low quality building materials.

mynd1:
All I know is table will turn someday. Tinubu and his boys will definitely pay for their attrocities. Tinubu will be the first Ex president arrested when he leaves power.

Clown 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You should audition as comedian on Naija got talent maybe you'll make your family proud of you.

SisterAnn:
No Obidient will vote tinubu if Peter Obi becomes running mate to Atiku.

If Peter Obi becomes running mate to Atiku, we Obidients will vote for Atiku/Obi.

Speak for yourself and thousands like you. I know many who have come out openly to say they'll rather vote Tinubu instead of voting obi as running mate to atiku.

Putindbutt:
Point of correction, 2023 wasn't the first time, we had MKO/Kingibe ticket in 1993. I believed it genuinely escaped his mind.

But of course, Nigeria being a religious country, religion played a huge role during the last election, especially culminating into the period wailers were everywhere shouting about "Islamization and fulanization" during Buhari's regime. That fear was even more exaggerated as we approached 2023 election.

I remember seeing lots of Pastors use their pulpits for heavy religious campaigns while a certain Gbajue took the advantage of turning almost all church altars in the country into political podiums.

Lots of APC Christian members in Benue, Plateau down to Bauchi and Adamawa angrily left the party. Today, they have all returned to APC in even larger number, seeing that President Tinubu genuinely loves all religion adherents equally with more Christian appointees holding more powerful and key positions in his Govt.

There's no way there will be a repeat of 2023, there's no way that religious-war fraud will use same old failed expired format again in 2027. That's why he had quickly run to meet his boss in the coalition of failures to beg and cry for VP slot.

ADC has a better chance of winning 2027 presidential elections if obi agrees to be VP to Atiku. If not, let him forget it. Even at that, many obidients will rather vote Tinubu if he becomes running mate to Atiku.

mindtricks:
Stop the wasteful epistle. Dude can't be tainted. You know your president is a disgrace.

Then continue in your POVERTY DELUSION

mindtricks:
This guy, you better stop posting all this nonsense, it's not working. Are you trying to say you don't know your impostor president is a disgrace?

It's not working AND TINUBU IS PRESIDENT while your own that is working is losing elections IN EVERY CORNER even in his polling unit. I'll rather stick to this one that's not working.

Orlandoo:
What a new low for CAN! How can you name such edifice after your oppressor and persecutor? We all know that CAN executives go cap in hand begging for alms from politicians, but they should do it with dignity.

Shame on you. Tinubu made Christopher Musa, a Christian from Southern kaduna the minister of defence. Yorubas are not myopic like you people that destroyed your chances of becoming President of Nigeria by carrying out the January 1966 coup. Using strength without sense will only lead to self destruction just like it also did during the civil war.

Amotolongbo:
Another reason for them to start shouting 😂

Whom God has blessed, they can shout their intestines out if they like.

nairalanda1:
Same thing with tinubu and all of them.

The reason being your leaders campaign for you on the idea that Dem go dash una something. Not on the idea of actual development.

Poverty: Sanwo-Olu Factually Addresses Peter Obi’s Criticism of Nigeria at Johns Hopkins University


On Thursday, April 24, 2025, former Governor Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate for the 2023 election, was at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he made several disparaging comments about Nigeria.

He made the unflattering remarks not just about the incumbent Nigerian government, but also about Nigeria.

I also find Mr. Obi's pattern of behaviour disturbing. When prominent Nigerians go overseas, they ought to project Nigeria positively. They do not have to do that for the government. But we all owe a duty to market Nigeria on the global stage rather than de-market her. That is what true patriotism is about.

Because Mr. Obi focused on poverty and said that the current administration's policies are making Nigerians poorer, I will concentrate on that.

Any leader can fight poverty generationally by promoting education, improving healthcare, providing credit, and granting access to land.

Now, I find it somewhat ironic that a man like Mr. Obi, who did not build a single school or a stand-alone hospital throughout his eight-year tenure as Governor of Anambra or sustainably provide credit facilities, would criticise the Government of Nigeria, which is actively doing that.

I say this because the President of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is my predecessor, and as Governor of Lagos and now President of Nigeria, has built over 200 schools and provided student loans to more than 200,000 undergraduates of Nigerian tertiary institutions.

In less than two years, he has provided over half a billion dollars in credit facilities to small and medium-scale enterprises.

While he was Governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007, the President reduced poverty by more than 46%. There is every reason to believe that, based on what he did as Governor of Lagos, he will repeat the same feat at the federal level. After all, the best predictor of the future is the past.

But let us examine the messenger, not just the message, and look at the issuer as well as the issues.

Mr. Obi talks a good game. But was he able to reduce poverty while he governed Anambra? Perhaps we can let the facts speak for themselves.

Under Peter Obi as a two term Anambra Governor, poverty in Anambra increased. It did not reduce. Before Peter Obi became Anambra Governor on Thursday, June 14, 2007, the poverty rate in Anambra was 41.4%.

But after only two years in office, the poverty rate in Anambra jumped to 53.7%.

But the interesting thing is that five years after Peter Obi left office, his successor, Willie Obiano, reduced the poverty rate in Anambra from almost 60% to 14.8%.

As such, I am not sure that Mr. Obi is morally well placed to make the alarming claims he made about Nigeria at Johns Hopkins.

Mr. Obi contributed to the increase in poverty in Nigeria. Governor Tinubu, as he then was, was responsible for lifting millions out of poverty.

Being that that is the case, who should criticise who?


Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu is the Governor of Lagos State.

nairalanda1:
Same thing with tinubu and all of them.

Bring out Tinubu's data, lets verify.

And if Tinubu's data on poverty is NOT WORSE than that of Obi, MAY POVERTY NEVER LEAVE YOUR LIFE.

nairalanda1:
Na a clear endorsement of

1.All politics is local, eg AMAC.

2. Nigerians will vote for a poorly performing party to protect their access to the national cake.

Obi was a COMFIRMED disaster in Anambra, INCREASING POVERTY RATE TO 54%. Who will vote that rubb!5h.
