Peter Obi was a bullet Nigerians dodged. The country would have been flooded with fake drugs with innocent citizens sent to their early graves if he were the president

Trump started by picking many enemies at the same time. retribution will not favour him as he may lose focus due to many court cases that may arise thereof

Regulatory oversight does not mean power generation. This means power might even get worse in those states, the price wight be 5x the current price and the people there cannot complain to NERC.

Aba power recently applied to NERC for 100% increased tariff. Does it mean they'll have to apply to Enugu (if they fall under Enugu's purview)?

Ekiti State had completed the 1st phase of generating power and had started distributing it within the state. The transfer made by NERC means that if a state can generate more than their energy needs, they can now sell to a neighbouring states. Abia State is yet to key-in into this opportunity, until that is done Aba power will still be under national grid

I want to use this moment to thank and appreciate our President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for having the boldness to sign the executive bill that transferred the generation and distribution of electricity to states. Ekiti State quickly keyed in to it and has now started generating and distributing their own electricity with the completion of the first phase. The State Governor Oyebanji had gone ahead to purchase a lot of transformers to be distributed to streets, communities and other areas that are yet to be connected to the grid. The time for revolution has just began. Many young people that had abandoned their trades to be riding okada will soon go back to practice their trades with the improvement in electricity supplies. Real change is here. other governors that are yet to start must wake up from their slumber and think beyond the box. Before the end of this year we expect improvement in the states that had gotten license now

Good day Nigerians! A new year is here with us and let us make our slang for the year to be "SAY NO TO LAWLESSNESS!". To every Nigerian, whether you a politician, or you a member of the Nigerian armed forces, Navy, Air force, or Nigerian police including all the paramilitary forces. Let us embrace law and order in all our dealings. Let us treat one another as humans. Let us dish out the humanity in us to our fellow humans.
To the ruling/political class - be the servant you proclaimed to be before you were sworn in. Don't change the figure this year. Promise yourself to be truthful, to rule well, to pass the law that will benefit all Nigerians
To our military, police and paramilitary class - Treat all Nigerians equal. Don't mistreat your fellow humans. See everyone as equal before God. Tell the politician that wants you to effect the illegal arrest of fellow Nigerian because he wants to grab his property unlawfully that his action is wrong. P!ease maintain peace and order on the road and stop collecting bribes. Respect begets respect.
To our Judiciary members - Serve Justice properly without minding whose ox is goard.
Dispense justice with fear of God and don't take bribe before serving Justice.
To the civilians - Respect everyone this year and have rest of mind. Treat the officers on the road with respect. Any one that demand bribe from you, respectfully turn him or her down. Let us change our mindset.
If we can all say no to lawlessness, we we all have the kind of country we have. Peace and Justice will reign.
I come in peace

You are very correct as people use the words interchangeably without knowing the difference simply because men focus mainly on the bride price while most ladies marrying nowadays comes to the table with nothing except a box and clothes still purchased by the groom for the bride as loads coming from her

A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has contrasted the leadership of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, with that of the Chairman of Eti-Osa Local Government Area in Lagos State, asserting the latter’s administration as superior.

Obi served as the Anambra State Governor from June 2007 to March 2014.

“The Chairman of Eti-Osa Local Government Area in Lagos State has more achievements in governance than Peter Obi,” Omokri said in an interview on the ‘Mic On Podcast’ programme hosted by a Channels Television’s journalist, Seun Okinbaloye, late Saturday.

“I know for a fact that the Eti-Osa Local Government Chairman has built at least, to my knowledge, three schools,” Omokri affirmed.

The social media influencer also challenged the Obidients – adherents of Obi, to mention a school built by the latter in his eight years as governor of the Southeastern state.

He noted that while Obi was the Anambra State Governor, he didn’t start, complete and inaugurate a school.

Omokri said, “I am giving a challenge. I will give any (Obidient) $10,000 if they can name one school that Peter Obi started, completed and commissioned while he was governor,” debunking views that Obi was better than former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and President Bola Tinubu in terms of infrastructural developments.

Upon Obi’s end of tenure as the state governor in 2014, he joined the Peoples Democratic Party to run as a running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2019 presidential election.

The election was later lost to former President Muhammadu Buhari under the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Omokri, a former aide to erstwhile President Goodluck Jonathan, recalled how he encouraged Obi to tread “the best path” for his presidential ambition.

“…Peter Obi cannot deny that I was the one who recommended him to Waziri Atiku Abubakar. Waziri Atiku Abubakar asked me to help him to choose a running mate.

“I called former President Jonathan, I discussed with him. Former President Jonathan told me, ‘Look, it must be Peter Obi’ and then I told former President Jonathan that I can’t just give this man only one name and so we padded the list with some other people’s names and then we put Peter Obi’s name and made it so rosy.

“And, Waziri Atiku Abubakar chose Peter Obi,” the social media influencer stated, adding that “Peter Obi was the best person at that time.”

However, Omokri lamented that despite his efforts, Obi didn’t heed his advice.

He said, “I told Peter Obi that the best path to the presidency for him is to run as Waziri Atiku Abubakar’s running mate and then be loyal to him.

“And then, when Waziri finishes his tenure, naturally the baton will change from the present to him. He didn’t listen to me.”

The former presidential aide noted that Obi wasn’t posited to win the 2023 election but rather, he (Obi) would “split the Peoples Democratic Party votes and make it possible for Bola Tinubu to win.

“If you contest, you are not going to win. The only thing that you’re going to achieve in contesting is that you are going to split the People’s Democratic Party votes and make it possible for Bola Tinubu to win,” Omokri added.

“In terms of education, Peter Obi is the least educationally qualified among the others. In terms of achievement while in office, he doesn’t come close to any of Tinubu and Atiku at all.

“At the end of the day, if you hold the presidential election 10 times, Peter Obi is still not going to win,” Omokri added.

Obi contested for the presidency in the 2023 election as the Labour Party’s candidate. Both he and Abubakar eventually lost to Tinubu.

Omokri also dismissed reports that he wasn’t supposed to make comments bordering on the nation’s economic challenges, saying that he doesn’t live in the country.

While reacting to this, he said, “I’m an employer of labour in Nigeria,” saying that his critics should visit the Corporate Affairs Commission to verify.

In fact, the DISCOs are treating other Bands as non-existence. Since the creation of Band A, we have not gotten light in Kpansia, Yenagoa. We are waiting for them to come and distribute their useless bills at the end of the month. Before the creation of the useless Bands, we only receive 4 hours of electricity every 4 days

“These Crises are largely self inflicted due to insensitivity, lack of political vision, lack of care, concern and respect for the Vision of the Founding Fathers of the Party, and for the yearnings and aspirations of the Nigerian Citizenry. Charity, they say, begins at home. A Party whose Leadership cannot take care of its own and showing good leadership definitely cannot take care of Nigeria and offer good Leadership.

True Words on Marble. I doff my hat for Bature

That is the right thing to do but because of ethnicism and bigotry, they will not. Buhari destroyed the economy which they all knew and never spoke a word against it. We must stop patching up this country and let us go back to confederation. 1963 Constitution had been the best for this nation. I am very sure that after the repositioning of the economy and 8 years of southern president, another northerner will come there to draw us back again.

What was expected of them was to make the light available before rushing to scam the people. It is a shame that anyone that finds himself in government always act before thinking. They need to change their orientation. Let them go back to the drawing board to make light available before implementing any tarriff increase

Iran will be so surprised that all the fanfares, millions of dollar spent, and the tough talks gone down the drains without removing an hair from Israel. Iran should back off from their destabilisation attitudes and focus their energies in raising the living standards of their people, if not Israel will send them back to stone age

With all the lies and paraphernalia of energising 2 hydropower stations last week by the minister of power, so we will still be experiencing power outages. The federal government just wanted to exploit Nigerians by the recent increase in tariff while Nigerians will continue to wallow in suffering. Too bad

Now that Obaseki is showing the entire world his autocratic behavior as a politician, who will want to give him a special role after his term in Edo government house? His behavior shows that he doesn't have the high level of tolerance to accommodate people that politics is all about. No legacy projects in Edo state. He's known for creating enemies everywhere

The results of Colorado. This will be like Hamas and IDF war on the long run. The 2 communities should forget that they ever existed. Nigerian military will take their pound of flesh

Fubara should beware of enemies within. It is not all that glitters is gold

This allegation must be investigated. Let the culprits be brought to book for God's sake! No nation can survive under the jackboot of corruption

If they don't eat this kind of creature in your culture, please don't eat it. Mere seeing it makes me feel like throwing up

Why are Nigerians so wicked to themselves like this? who are the saboteurs? Who are the people contributing to the daily woes of Nigerians? Who are the people in government supporting these economic saboteurs? Government at all levels must, as a matter of urgency, improve security all over Nigeria. Let the national assembly accelerate the passage of the state police so that security of property and the citizens can be assured.

pls tell me what Halaand has won that Arnold has not won.i doubt if u watch and follow Football.

You find it hard to comprehend.
Halaand had spent only 2 seasons in Britain and had won all laurels within a short period compared to many seasons Arnold had spent with little laurels. Always calm down to understand little statement before rushing to comment

I understand Halaand, you meant to say considering the number of hours you have spent on the field of play in Britain, you have won more laurels than Arnold. Who in Arnold's shoes will not envy an achiever like Halaand?

Rebag and resell the rice to another unsuspecting Nigerian.

You are really living up to your name. Ain't surprise by your comment

This is unfortunate and heart breaking. It is becoming so difficult to find a saint in a whorehouse that Nigerian political parties represents. They queued up behind Peter Obi to defraud Nigerians that wanted alternative, but ended up being scammed by same people preaching holiness. Nigerians are the enemies of themselves

Happy birthday Daddy Adeboye. May the Lord continue to keep you for His good works He's doing through you.

This is a big scandal and a stigma to a man that was held high esteem in football. The sentence has erased all the goods he had achieved in football as he will be seen as a rapist. He dare not step his legs in spain again else he will spend the jail term
