I know how Government works more than u, Myopic people like u should think twice before airing views about issues. Even if its risky to be converted into residence for poor people, Those facilities can always be converted to government offices, maybe offices for law enforcement or the likes, instead of making new budgets for such infrastructure.
Dont be quick to condemn rational views, i wonder if u know all.

sketcherJ:
After Jailing the offenders? The way some of you reason as if you don’t understand Nigerian realities? So they jail the owner of the house, he doesn’t have allies that will launch attacks against those living in the house sooner or later? or will these homeless indigenes be given escorts too? And if you can’t live or let your loved ones live in such houses, then you are a hypocrite. It is homeless folks that you can push to the fire.

Stupid idea, rather confiscate the houses after prosecution and jailing the offenders, then allocate the houses to law abiding verified homeless indigenes of Edo state.
I guess the Edo government is being advised by Mad people.

The report gets more confusing as no particular party was mentioned. We the supporters need to know

LP, ADC or PDP?

You should have balanced it up by showing us multidimensional wealth across the states too. Or u want to tell me no one is smiling to the banks daily too?
Na waa oo

Or hell tells us what part of Reno's presentation is false. At least we're here to learn

muhammaduyusufu:
Can you post proofs that Reno was paid by President Tinubu?

And who should the Igbos hold responsible if Atiku didnt stick by his words? You?

nairalanda1:
Because it makes an igbo presidency less likely for at least 12 years from 2027.

Theoretically, atiku winning means an igbo presidency by 2031. If atiku keeps to his promise of serving one term

Am not even sure if he's at all productive in the Senate, perhaps a few bills to his name

Fear God? Hmmm that's deep. I don't think they're thinking in that direction, I strongly feel its one of its one of the unique features of the Almighty God to allow some humans to misbehave so that they can suffer. Even u want to lie on the pulpit and eat, its more idiotic when u ignore numerous verses in the bible where Almighty God proclaimed that no human can see HIM.
Forgive me for my shortcomings O Almighty God, I don't wish to witness your wrath.

buygala:
Take it easy and tone down the Lamba Oga Reverend

This isn't the 90s and early 2000s when your ilk were cashing out with outlandish stories of dying, being given a tour of heaven by Angel Gabriel, and then waking up after 3 days

Even your contemporaries in the Ministry like Kumuyi, Oyedepo and Adeboye don't make such claims in this day and age because they know this generation is very impatient with these tales by moonlight

Even if you no fear us wey be human being, fear the God you purport to serve

You have automatically volunteered to be a witness for him in the sight of the Almighty Creator, i wish u well.

Tunmise40:
Very honest and dependable man of God. You can believe everything he says. Not too many like him anymore.
Wish to meet him one day so he imparts me

Its subject to appeal, court matter be like market. Dem go still go negotiable for appeal and probably supreme court. Las las na 1 or 2 million naira dem go give the passenger , maybe with one free return ticket to and from UK.

OkanlawonB:
Eventhough the naira has lost value, 50M naira still amounts to about 28K euros, no european Court will award anybody so much money for a lost luggage.
An unfair judgement.

Why reacting like small pikin?
Na waa oo

Here’s a free tip: be mindful of what you post online these days, because you are being monitored, often without knowing. Those who constantly attack their home government or promote hate and threats on social media may face similar consequences. Just be cautious—if it matters to you.

I just confirmed the news update

Oga why resort to abuse and curse?
Pls give us ur own views and lets learn from u too, is Reno lying?
HATE is really a big sickness

LagosOrigin:
Nonsense

This political hustler that has thrown shame to the gutter for his stomach wants to talk at Obi And El rufai.

Peter Obi will never reply to Reno omokri foolishness.

You're 100% correct wise Man, the exact sacrosant promise Obi made not to leave APGA and remained there until today.
Very Sacrosant indeed

agentNija:
Obi's word is sacrosanct. If he tells you one term then it is one term.

You are undoubtedly incompetent, RESIGN or get sacked. Nigeria dont need people like you at this critical period.

She may not have said what we wanted to hear technically, however this lady doesnt sound like a bad girl Judging by her calm and humble response. It shows she can learn and be guided to do the right things.
She doesn't sound wayward

Am anxiously waiting for the reply to this very important question u raised too

Basic123:
Just mention one thing that made ATIKU more formidable than others.

Just one thing!

All of dem just dey selfish for selfish reasons

U never see nothing, ur real humiliation in UK still dey do press-up

Almighty God is the most powerful and merciful, humans can do whatever they like.

U lie big time, show a post where he condemned any of the activities of ipob and unknown gun men or even the forceful implementation of Mondays sit at home in the south east and I will give u 100k now.

Godjone:
Go back and dig into Obi"s social media posts. Where commendation is needed, he commend and where criticism is required he criticised. Stop these gilberish and childish post Because tinubu must go

I see more prosperity too, especially with these reforms they're doubting.
I strongly have faith in Tinubu's government

WizardOfNG:
Thank you too and same to you. They will say we are paid for having different opinion to them.

Yet many do not understand that the lives they had, and believed to be adequate, is one of the worst and poorest in the world that needs to significantly improve for the better.

Nigerians were already at the bottom rung of human existence under all Presidents since 1999 yet they believe they had it good because of cheap and subsidized fuel plus subsidized education, subisdized power, subsidized currency and literally subsided everything else.

If anyone ask me what ordinary Nigerians need to boast of lives with equal quality to that of ordinary folks employed in the UK unskilled and casual Labour sector, for example, I can list it right here and now to make everybody know that Nigerians, tragically, are not living but merely surviving.

In the end sha the success or failure of a nation is not in the hands of me and you. We can see below how the North , Courtesy of Northern leaders, has the worst human development index known to man globally.

Yet same Northern leaders who failed those ordinary Northerner are looking to depose a Southern President who is actually leading in ways that can rescue and rehabilitate the North better than any Northerner can.

I can only pray Tinubu gets the time to transform Nigeria to the glory of Nigerians to the extent those cursing him today will praise and worship him tomorrow same as children of strict and dedicated parents thank this parents later in life for their success whereas they resented those same parents while younger because of the tough love they would not compromise on dishing out.

Break their heads and pour these senses u wrote here inside and they will still curse and abuse your family. They will never see because of HATE.
Thanks very immensely for this piece, May your days be long.

WizardOfNG:
It is either ethno-religious prejudice against PBAT or lack of knowledge of the most debilitating problems of Nigeria, and the solutions required for them, that makes you incapable of seeing what Tinubu "has done" to more than deserve a second and even third term.

As an empathetic person, I will not pretend things are not tough for ordinary Nigerians. Yet I have seen enough of the world to know how Nigerians should be living which is a million times better than how they have lived since our current democracy began in 1999.

To get ordinary Nigerians even remotely close to the standard of life some African nations are enjoying there has to be fundamental changes, needing reforms and drastic overhaul of governance policies, that will cause some suffering initially but will lead to much better lives and prospect for Nigerians in the near future.

Virtually all nations have gone through the same "sacrifice for better future" phase with many enduring hardship for decades even.

The life you people are asking Nigerians to return to, propped up by subsidies at all levels that only get a people addicted to poverty and comfortable recieving 1% from greedy and callous leaders when they need at least 80%, is not life as the world knows it.

It is not living. At all. It is merely surviving for a people weaponised poverty, through use of various government-funded subsidies, has been used to trick into thinking they ever had good lives to begin with.

Wake up. You are educated. All you had was cheap fuel with horribly inadequate transport option. Whereas many nations in the west have expensive fuel but superb and comfortable transport options available to their people courtesy of doing the right things.

While efficient transport options help those nations grow socio-economically, you in Nigerian, drunk on cheap fuel, sit in traffic for hours, courtesy of poor transport infrastructure and options, that is damaging to our economy's productivity and the ease/efficiency of doing business

You had cheap electricity bill, with many not paying anything at all, that means Nigeria will remain in darkness forever if such continues because not paying enough to re-invest successfully in the very expensive business of power generation, transmission and distribution only guarantees darkness.

Previous government have been sloppy and even disinterested in efficient tax collection. Yet you all want to japa to nation where efficient tax collection, from all those who can afford to pay such, builds world class infrastructure and social services like health care and social intervention with the UK NHS and benefit system being good examples to cite.

Your past Presidents subsidized the value of Naira artificially rather than subject it to gaining it's real comparative value that must only be improved organically via Nigeria working on a strong economy that would give Naira it real purchasing power parity strength which is what is ultimately important for national currencies.

Yet you cannot see that wholesale subsidising of the Naira, that Tinubu decided had to be stopped, mainly benefited Northern bureau de change owners, and their politico-elite bosses gaining massively while all Nigerians with legitimate business, leisure or educational interest abroad could not even get pounds, dollars etal via our official banking system.


Please what sort of nation is that when I cannot buy dollars and pounds comfortably to visit a foreign nation on holiday, when I work hard in Nigeria to deserve it, whereas if I was in the UK and looking to go on holiday to Ibiza I would only need to stroll into any high street bureau de change to buy Euros at a rate that will not be ridiculously different to the British central Bank quoted rate

I could go on all day. Suffice to say they were using you own commonwealth to keep you subdued, with various feel-good subsidies that allowed the politico-elite class to loot mercilessly, live billionaire lifestyle, while Nigerians get crumbs.

I can agree that many ordinary and uneducated Nigerians, facing severe daily challenges, won't get all I have stated above because weaponised poverty has been used to keep them less educated, less knowledgeable, less exposed, less politically sophisticated and less discerning than they need to be.

I concede it is totally understandable they may be mad with the government of PBAT from the limited view of the picture they see.

Yet, what is the excuse of educated people like you who can inspect what I wrote above to verify it as factually correct so that you can see that it is Presidents before Tinubu who actually (1) did not mean well for you or (2) lacked the balls to do what will be in the best medium to long term interest of all Nigerians.

Previous government were simply just 419ing a people they believed they have conquered with weaponised poverty akin to stuffing the mouth of a baby with a dummy to stop it crying.

It is only Tinubu, from all Presidents since 1999, that is addressing the real problems of the baby crying non-stop rather than attempting to distract it with gimmicks and insincere gestures disguised as acts of kindness.

That's how they behave, disgracefully irrational set of beings

kedeojo:
see a fustrated soul. A former SGF is about stomach infrastructure because he didn't identify with ADC. You will shed bitter tears Emeka.

I wonder the type of journalism practiced in Nigeria, i think Mark should be asked to tell Nigerians why Atiku, Obi, El Rufai and some other prominent members in the ADC coalition have not officially registered their membership.

Is this man really a former house speaker, Governor and a Minister?
Just wondering

Like a military head of state would unilaterally do?
That's interesting, Kudos to u

I thought its COALITION time for everyone....Lolzzz

Yes, anyone one joining a party, no matter how highly placed, should first and foremost register to be a member of that party at his or her ward. Thats the prerequisite and its contained in the guidelines of all the political parties.
Same step is followed if you are terminating your membership of any political party.
Lets be objective irrespective of our interests.

TimeManager:
Call the bluff of these state Chairmen and help Atiku Elrufai and Obi to get their membership card, why are they still delaying?

-Kiss the truth!

The Almighty God in HIS infinite mercies has not revealed to any human being, even HIS prophets about when and how they will die, that's the uniqueness of the Mighty CREATOR.

A powerful delegation from Alex Otti's end visited him at his country home few days ago and it was widely televised. So his next destination is obvious.
Good luck Chief Ude

donleo92:
Good for him.

If he plans going to APC then he is in for a long thing in abia state.

For me let him resign from politics
