I commend the Lagos State police command for their consistency in nipping in the mud the activities of these miscreants. Lagos Police Command had shown over the years of their pro-activeness in combating robberies, cultism and other social misdemeanors. This is not done in isolation because the State Government under the leadership of Mr Babajide Sanwoolu had been supporting hem with equipment to tackle these menace. Kudos to both the police and the state government

Thank you for your immense contributions to our darling Falcon's team. Your contribution gave us 5 nations' cup and 4 world cup qualifiers. You will never be forgotten as you have written your name in GOLD. We love you and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours

So sad so many Nigerians do not know their true history or how dey came into existence in dis country!
Failure of govt in documentation process.

In as much as I align with your comment, it is NOT government that failed, it is the traditional institution in each town and village that failed to document their own history. Nigeria came into being in October 1960, which is recent, but towns and villages had been in existence for centuries, yet they are still arguing where they came from. It is a tragedy!!!

There are at least 9 states with access to the Atlantic coastline, why must everything be focused on Lagos State only? Because it's Tinubu's heirloom?
No wahala, tinubu's reign of terror and impunity will eventually come to an end

Where arew your facts that other states are not having or developing seaports? There is a seaport in Calabar that is currently undergoing expansion. There is a seaport that is currently undergoing construction in Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom state. There is a seaport currently generating more revenue than the past in Port Harcourt. There is a sea port in Warri that is currently being expanded. There is a seaport that had just been awarded in Ondo and Ogun States. Edo seaport started operation during Oshiomole. The current super highway from Badagry to Sokoto necessitated the birth of this new one. If you hate Tinubu dont go about spreading misinformation. Let us put the love of the country first, above all things

Waoh!!!! information is key to development. What will the nay sayers say to this? will they come out of their cocoon to appreciate what this government is doing? i doubt it

Some people never understand what they read before going to the comment section. The write says father of 11 children and not father of 11 year old

Thank you Doctor. This is very enlightened and will help many to know the steps to take when someone is shoking. God bless you abundantly

She won't be the first female President, if elected. Mrs Precillia Kuye was the first NBA President. A very versatile woman during the military era.
I wish she becomes the new President. The office is missing the aura of a female president. They are more approachable and are good listeners

Na here Tinubu started him journey as Accountant/Auditor in th 80s. Sentiment aside... this guy's a genius

Those that wished their deranged man (Hobi) to be him but always go online to abuse him will still speak negative things against this landmark. I am happy the way Nigeria is leaving them behind to wallow in self-pity.

Osa Director was one of the fearless journalists that fought for the entronment of democracy. I will never forget his investigative journalism. Very apt, factual and truthful. He showed Abacha shege that he was detained and chained like a criminal. He escaped the gulag by divine grace. Those who never know histroy will be the ones disparaging Osa. A lot of TELL magazines of those years still adorn my book shelve

The Civilians mentioned are truly bastions of the democracy we all enjoy today. They fought the military with their pens. They went underground to continue the fight. They made IBB, Abacha, and Abubakar to become restless until we achieved democracy. They sacrificed a lot. The News, Tell magazine, Tempo, The Guardian, Punch etc stood their grounds to reject the jackboots called military regime. Through investigative journalism, write-ups, articles etc, they fought the military without firing a gunshot. The Civil Liberties Organisation became a pain in the neck of the military boys, peaceful demonstrations became a daily agitations until they couldn't hold it anymore and succombed to the agitations of the populace and on May 29, 1999, they bowed out in shame for democracy to thrive

When I say the Yoruba people made me give up on the unity of Nigeria, some think I am just being biased, but that's the truth.

So here it is:

When terrorism and kidnapping of school children was only restricted to the north, they were everywhere asking for the head of Jonathan, did everything to get him out.

Today the same terrorism and kidnapping is not only in the north but right inside their own domain taking even up to their kings and children and there is calmness, silence, in fact a number of them are even asking for third term for Tinubu.

So I ask what was Jonathan's offense to them?

Secondly, if you want know the level of hypocrisy going on, let's sincerely ask ourselves, the people among them who tell a certain people : go back to your region or attack them during election for mere unverified statement, why are they not shouting that the people committing all these offenses in their land and killing up to their kings to go back their region?

Is there something more to this going on?

Just for second imagine if it were the people who are from that region they tell to go back were the people committing all these crimes in their region and even killing their kings.

Is this how calm they will be?

Your lamentation is uncalled for. If the North could not protest for their own people and the South-West is protesting for their own people, why are you lamenting? Why not let them protest since they are not asking your tribe, Igbos, to come out and protest on their behalf. The way some of you rant on social media will one day come back to hunt you. Rest from all these hatred and face your life

This is a good development. I will encourage all our billionaires in South-South region to emulate Azikiel and invest heavily in oil and gas. They shouldn't leave it for Dangote and BUA alone. There are opportunities in the region that can bring massive employment to the youths in the region.

So the South is managing it well now?

Is Nigeria at the brink of collapse as witnessed in 2023? The gentleman's agreement of rotation is what I am talking about. After 8 years it should go back to the North. But since you ask a question, Nigeria is better than the whole 8 years of waste recorded under late buhari

Take her to the Redemption City to see Pastor E.A. Adeboye. Don't ignore this please

This Atiku talk with so much arrogance and I have seen him as someone who never believed in one Nigeria. He believe that the north should rule the country forever. Unfortunately, he missed the point this time. Nigeria belongs to all of us. History had shown us that the north mismanaged the affairs of this country, that is why the nation is still crawling. He should retire from politics and allow the southern candidates to slug it out at the polls and wait till 2031 for the turn of his zone. Chikena

Wahala dey oo. They thought of ADA, later they wanted to hijack SDP but were resisted before one gbajue called Raph Nwosu sold them a dummy. Now they are in cull-de-sac. They better port to another party before it is too late

Iranian apologists on Nairaland will never cease to amuse me with fake news. They like using the same format all the time. They are yet to tell us the number of IRGC that had been lost into this fight but would rather focus on fabricating lies. They should appeal to their mullars to hands up to reduce collateral damages bedevlling the remnants of the islamic regime instead of spreading lies. I feel sorry for the innocent souls being wasted in this war. Israel and US have achieved their aims by destroying their nuclear technology development, so they stop the fight rightaway

Violence erupts in South Africa over Igbo traditional ruler’s coronation

Xenophobia

Violence has erupted in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, following protests against the controversial coronation of an Igbo traditional ruler, with demonstrators torching vehicles and looting shops owned by foreign nationals.

The protests, led by members of ActionSA alongside traditional leaders and local residents on Monday, were initially staged in opposition to what organisers described as a violation of the province’s sovereignty, constitutional order and recognised traditional leadership structures.

However, tensions escalated rapidly in KuGompo City, where the demonstrations turned violent, forcing police to intervene and disperse crowds, according to SABC News.

Video evidence on X indicated that protesters set several vehicles and buildings allegedly belonging to foreign nationals on fire while security forces intensified efforts to restore order.

“Protesters have torched vehicles and buildings allegedly belonging to foreign nationals in protest against the installation of a Nigerian king in the Eastern Cape,” Newsroom Afrika reported.

Similarly, CDR Africa said the unrest reflected growing outrage over the coronation, with foreign-owned properties becoming primary targets.

The situation further deteriorated, with eNCA reporting that violence turned deadly after a stabbing incident allegedly involving Ethiopian shop owners.

At least two people were taken to the hospital for treatment, while several vehicles were destroyed in the chaos.

ActionSA’s Eastern Cape chair, Athol Trollip, reaffirmed the party’s opposition to the coronation in East London, describing it as unlawful and inconsistent with South Africa’s traditional leadership framework.

He said the party stood firmly with recognised traditional authorities, insisting that due process must be followed in matters of cultural and traditional governance.

Some protesters issued stark warnings, vowing to escalate resistance if authorities fail to address their concerns.

One demonstrator reportedly said residents were prepared to “take up arms” if the matter remained unresolved, while others called for the deportation of Nigerians linked to the coronation.

The protesters had earlier marched through parts of the province demanding immediate government intervention, warning that failure to act could trigger further unrest. [/b][b]

Let's hope this will restore peace back into the party. If they get it right by this move, I see them using their strong bases all over the country to reclaim their number one position as the leading opposition party in Nigeria

The guns in circulation in the Niger Delta are too scary. God will help this nation to get it right someday

It is only a bastard that describe the road to his father's house with left hand. Rufai Oseni lack decorum of a true journalist. Disrespecting your guests at every opportunity will make future guests set limits before appearing on set. We do watch other TV stations and observe the way they treat their guests. Arise TV station owners must set boundaries, else they will lose focus

SHE WAS EXPRESSING HER LOVE FOR KIDNAPPING BUSINESS

Happy birthday to one of the God's Generals. I wish you more glorious years ahead to win more souls to Christ. Thank you for the good works you have done in the economic sector, educational sector and in our social sector. Many Area Boys and Girls were saved from under the bridges. Many were given scholarships to study in the Redeemers University, Ede. Many are now graduates and working. Many are now Pastors and doing well in their callings. Your marks are there for everyone to see. Till today, many souls are being fed daily free of charge. God Almighty will continue to expand His works through you. We love you Daddy

This is long overdue. Many 'motivational speakers' also parade themselves as members too and should be investigated. We need to sanitise our nation of bad eggs

Vision is about thinking deeply on how to attract investment into your state to create jobs for your populace. His Excellency, has been very forthright in his approach to this. Lagos state keep moving forward and getting better. Thank you Mr Governor for your exemplary leadership in driving the state forward

Rotimi Amechi was the minister that bought these ramshackle trains and he is still the same person that wants to contest in 2027. What a country!!!

This is the right way to go. Governance is about learning from a system that's working. This is why 15 states understudied lagos during Tinibu's tenure on revenue generation. Thank you Gov. Oti for doing the right thing

Federal government bond. You will never regret it
