In a surprising move, Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo reportedly invited a traditional soothsayer to the Government House to foresee whether he will win re-election later this year.

The unusual visit has sparked conversations around tradition, politics, and leadership.

If Soludo really went to meet a soothsayer, it won't be televised or videod like this.

I agree it was a skit.

•Slams INEC chair, Yakubu, compares him to Maurice Iwu

•Says current government doesn’t respect the law

•Urges Tinubu to account for savings from subsidy removal

That was an upper cut well delivered by Amaechi

Nbotee:
They are mad. Someone is doing his business and doing marketing how best he believes it is and the govt is reacting. Isn't it sad and pitiable that civil servants can actually not afford luxury cars?? Is the guy wrong in what he said about civil servants

Lol.

Which car sef can a civil servant's salary afford in Nigeria currently? This is not a good time to be a civil servant.

Las las, the guy for no add salt to injury by mentioning civil servants.

Sirchiboy:
Name one mistake you have made in life so someone else doesn’t do it.

Not japa-ing in my mid-twenties when I had the opportunity. Was believing Nigeria will get better.

Now, the dream looks like an illusion.

Just 2 years? For $1M. Crime pays

What he's refunding and forfeiting is up to a million Dollars.

Unlike some countries where he'll not even refund up to 10% and he will still escape jail.

He's actually saying the truth.

What many of these bankers commit with customers' funds go shock you.

If you've not been affected , just thank God.

Wow! This is huge.

Assuming she makes just 5-10% profit per delivery, you do the Maths.

Offpoint1:
For the love of me, I don't see why relocating from your home land to a foreign land a success.

We are screwed up mentally as people, thanks to useless African leaders.

Imagine people making relocation to foreign land a prayer point, an ambition or dream... That's how fxxkedup we are as people.

Unfortunately, the situation is not too going to change anytime soon.

So sorry to hear about this, Sir.

With good nutrition, taking lots of fluids/water and also his recommended prophylactic medications, your son will go far. These are for a start.

He needs your support .

If your wife must have future pregnancies, consult the right specialist before you proceed.

This is not the time for blames. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the people with substandard reagents who gave you a wrong result initially.

I wish you all the best.

How can APC be involved in your coalition, Sir?

What do they have in their brains that others who studied other professions don't have?
Your summation sounds childish

Lol

Those who know the truth know.

I have always said most Nigerian-trained Doctors are ungrateful beings. They are unpatriotic and uènthankful. Pastor Poju said this, and he was almost crucified simply because he spoke the truth. They pay nearly nothing to be trained as a doctor, but they want to be rich like Dangote. These doctors still steal from public hospitals to enrich themselves. Whatever profession, it is a matter of choice and we all go to the same market. You earn above 300k, and you're showing ungratefulness because you want to earn like those in the UK. After all, do we operate at the same economic level?

If you want to compare school fees, nobody in Nigeria will be able to pay school fees, irrespective of the Course he/she is studying.

It's not just doctors.

So, for now, let's just agree that every Nigerian is being trained for "free", not just doctors.

Besides, it's not only doctors that are Japaing. Every profession is.

Doctors are not your problem, Sir.

Jman06:
If they want to ask for salary increment, let them do ask legitimately and not this their current antics of bullying other healthcare professionals with inconsequential things like "Dr" title and whatnots

If adding Dr. to your name makes you happy, then do it. Lol

loffyloffy:
You forgot to add that almost all of them have private practise where they earn far more than their official salaries.

They mostly use their day jobs as a way of gathering referrals for their private practise

You cannot own a private hospital as a resident doctor. As a consultant, Yes.

KingAzubuike:
Nigerian doctors can be very proud . Carrying shoulder up and down with their 2003 corolla.

It's not about the car, Sir. It's about the info inside their brains.

Anyway, many are leaving now so that they will be able to afford better cars abroad.

shortgun:
Doctors are overpaid if you ask me.
There's no logical explanation why Doctors should earn more than Engineers. After all, seeing a doctor doesn't guarantee one will survive an illness or die.

Chai!

No comment. I don't understand the comparison though.

Better keep money aside for abroad treatment, just in case.

Jman06:
No resident doctor earns less than 400k in a public hospital in Nigeria as at today. Maybe the 316k excludes call duty allowance

A new Junior Registrar earns less than 400k

Senior Registrars earn above 400k.

Some centres earn some thousands higher than others because of taxes.

A video showing EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede preaching a message of prosperity at Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has gone viral.

The sermon, which touched on financial success and divine favor, has stirred mixed reactions online due to his high-profile anti-corruption role.

The title is misleading.

Where is the "prosperity sermon" in the video?

AustineE1:
Soludo is placing his gubernatorial ambition at great risk,this is Anambra state,if he do any how,he go see any how.
I know his arrangement with Tinubu,is just to secure his second tenure by November guber elections but he should thread carefully or else the anger of Anambra people will fall on him.

Soludo doesn't need Tinubu's help to secure second term.

He doesn't have any strong challenger for the November election.

richmond500:
I use to hear "inflation is coming down.

I do not see how it is coming down o.
N10,000 only gives me around 40kwh of electricity which lasts me for only 2weeks to power

•my AC for like 1hr daily
•Fridge is powered for around 10hrs
•Ceiling fan is powered for around 15hrs daily
•And 3 light bulb around for 7hrs.

I spend around 20k monthly on just light bill.
Light bill and rent alone cost around 55k per month, rent is 400k per year. it outrageous.

My question has always been: why are they charging Band A customers way more than the others? It doesn't make sense at all.

360degreess:
Where are the saner clowns?Many Africans especially Nigerians think that when they travel out to all these developed countries they won't die again.They feel they will definitely grow to old age,but every time we keep hearing how some of them are been killed in the same "insecurity free" countries.So the good roads, good health care systems, stable electricity,..etc cannot stop them from dying?..

The rule remains the same everywhere. Don't flaunt too much. Maintain a low social media profile. E get why

tunjijones:
Stop it... Stop acting like there is terrorism in every party of Nigeria. Stop acting like everyone living in Nigeria is living in fear.

Not down playing the kidnapping and herdsmen carnage in Nigeria , people are living their normal life. Like me, I even stay in the northern part of Nigeria and I am living well and fine.

How can I be living in a mansion and have very good source of income in Nigeria, then I leave to go and stay in a one room studio apart in the UK where I will work like a slave for the rest of my life.

For the most people who want to earn a honest living in Nigeria, they will have to "work like a slave", and many still fall short. Just one hospital admission will wipe away the little change remaining and put them in huge debts.

For the rest that don't want to "work like a slave", they augment by taking bribes and doing a lot of dishonest things and even crimes, which I may not mention here. Other follow politicians and sing praises for those who drop crumbs for them, irrespective of their background and source of wealth. Even whoocup join.

Few are lucky to come from rich homes where everything is ready for them even if they work or not; with properties and huge amounts of money for them to inherit. They may not understand the struggles of the majority.


OVER 80% OF NIGERIANS DON'T EARN ANYTHING NEAR "GOOD SOURCE OF INCOME".

We can deceive ourselves with Abracadabra Statistics, but that's the Truth

phorget:
MC oluomo the number one agbero still won't allow his son to school in Nigeria, and you actually think those people abandoning their ”mansions“ in Nigeria are stupid right?

As in eh.
Those people are securing property and British passport ls for their children so they can have where to run to after destroying Nigeria.

Me, I should be more patriotic than everyone else. Lol.

Living in Nigeria is not easy oh. No matter how patriotic I try to be. That's the honest truth.

Don't argue with me Google can actually help to find out the truth

It may be possible if your landlord is still a good person and the house was built before 2023

eastOFwest:
The picture of her room (box room) reminds me of the one I lived in when I first came to the UK. Mine was actually smaller than that. I lived there for 9 months. It was a starting point. Everyone has to start somewhere. Sometimes you have to take a few steps backwards to move forwards. I went from renting a box room to eventually being a landlord to tenants. I know how much I send to Nigeria every month for different reasons.

Do you know that diasporans in the UK remitted about $3.53 billion back to Nigeria in 2022? 2nd only after USA? Globally, about $20 billion was remitted back home by Nigerian diasporans. That same year Nigeria earned $35.7 billion form Oil & Gas. That same year Foreign Direct Investment from other sources was -$0.19 billion (negative). The highest it had ever been up till then from 2010 was $8.84 billion in 2011. Bear in mind that the FG would have spent millions of dollars on trade missions and other government sponsored junkets in order to woo investors, and also make certain tax breaks and other incentives available for FDI. Money from diasporans is money to Nigeria FOR FREE.

Nobody gives diasporans any tax breaks for investing in Nigeria, just like is given to the already rich Chinese, Arabs and westerners. Diasporans work extremely hard, run businesses, hustle in the streets etc, and gladly send these monies home for various things. No thank you for being the largest source of foreign earning into Nigeria after Oil & Gas. Instead, what I've seen in the last few years is a concerted effort to malign and de-market the idea of Nigerians moving abroad, and it's increased 10 fold in the last year.

How typical of black man to consistently shoot himself in the foot. To consistently make things worse for himself just because of pride and sentiments. Stubbornly refusing to be pragmatic. Yes, we will feed ourselves, create jobs and keep ourselves healthy by being proud, abi? Grown men, fathers, grand fathers and even great grandfathers, reasoning like children and scoring cheap political points. Indulging in meaningless bragging rights. Sad.

Deep and wise statements

Not everybody will understand, though.

Like the writer said, They like it like that.

You've made your choice to continue staying in Northern Nigeria and you're okay with it.

Those that have japa have their own strong motivation and they're fine with life there. Life is not easy anywhere.

Let everyone rest abeg

All this epistle onto 13th position in debt decrease? What should Jigawa and Ondo state now say?

Just comment President Tinubu for repositioning Nigeria finances to ensure states now have money left to service their obligation and have more to spend.

If you know where Abia State is coming from....

24 years of wasteful leadership plus loans on top of that.

This is worth being joyful about
