fineboynl: no body id cooperating with tinubu. Before December he will destroy this country than he met it.
. This man is just starting. He is less than a week in power. Let's see where he's heading to first before we start condemning him. Seriously, I have never been a supporter of any politician at any level but whoever that is there needs support and cooperation. If you are seeing Obi and a "saint" and Tinubu as a "sinner" ....you are getting it all wrong! Sentiments(tribe, religion, ethnicity,etc) apart, ALL POLITICIANS ARE THESAME!! The change we want in Nigeria begins with you and I as an individual. You can't get a perfect government....never!!
Funny enough, nobody is interested in this court case again. Obi just dey there dey play....Nothing will come out of it!!! What matters now is how to cooperate with this government to make Nigeria better.
zaza1955: VIDEO: Gym Instructor Caught Engaging In Inappropriate Behavior with a Female Client
A gym instructor, aged between 25 and 30, has sparked a strong reaction on social media after a video surfaced of him engaging in questionable conduct with a woman believed to be in her early twenties.
The video has left many social media users perplexed, as they question the gym instructor's actions and his justification for touching the woman during their exercise session.
According to the footage, the man can be seen demonstrating various workout techniques to the young lady.
But the lady is not complaining na.... Forget the expressions on the lady's face, she likes it. When a lady is enjoying you in any area, she won't show it so that you keep doing it.
vincenteger: Greed. Even on your sick bed you can't hand over to your deputy. So millions of people should suffer because one man is sick. Leadership is not by force, resign if you are not healthy for the job.
Oil dey your head! You just expressed my thoughts. Before I started reading comments , that's what I thought of. The way Nigerian and African leaders see power ehn.......even inside grave, they will still want to rule and become leaders in graveyard.
floret23: What is the fate of Npower Batch C beneficiaries who are being owed six months stipends? Has Npower gone with Buhari?
I always tell this to Npower beneficiaries I come across ........make una go find alternative hustle! Continuity is always difficult for new administration in Nigeria. Other programs might come in favour of Nigerian youths but it might not be Npower.
enemyofprogress: Did anybody notice the fear and concern on the face of Remi Tinubu while the husband was taking a ride round the parade ground? The looks on her face speaks volumes. No be for my mouth una go hear sey even the wife know sey her husband no well.
The truth is: your hatred cannot change the fact that BAT is the President of Nigeria and his wife is the first lady. Kindly save yourself the stress and grab a bottle of Heineken.
International students will no longer be able to bring dependants with them unless they are on postgraduate courses that are currently designated as research programmes.
The package will also remove the ability for international students to switch out of the student route and into work routes before their studies have been completed "to prevent misuse of the visa system", the government said.
As well as removing this right, there will also be a review of the maintenance requirement for students and dependents and a crackdown on "unscrupulous" education agents "who make use of inappropriate applications to sell immigration, not education".
The changes will come into effect for students starting their courses from January 2024 in order to allow future international students time to plan ahead.
'How many strikes before she is out?' - pressure mounts on PM to launch Braverman probe - politics latest
In a written ministerial statement published today, Home Secretary Suella Braverman said recent immigration figures had shown an "unexpected rise" in the number of dependants coming to the UK alongside international students.
Ms Braverman said the increase was made after the government made its commitment to lower net migration.
The 2019, when net migration stood at 226,000, the Conservative manifesto committed to making sure "overall numbers come down".
Ms Braverman said that while the government's strategy around international education "plays an important part in supporting the economy", it should "not be at the expense of our commitment to the public to lower overall migration".
"This package strikes the right balance between acting decisively on tackling net migration and protecting the economic benefits that students can bring to the UK," she said.
"Now is the time for us to make these changes to ensure an impact on net migration as soon as possible. We expect this package to have a tangible impact on net migration. Taken together with the easing of temporary factors, we expect net migration to fall to pre-pandemic levels in the medium term."
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said attracting top students "isn't just good for our universities - it's essential for our economy and building vital global relationships".
"But the number of family members being brought to the UK by students has risen significantly," she added.
"It is right we are taking action to reduce this number while maintaining commitment to our international education strategy, which continues to enrich the UK's education sector and make a significant contribution to the wider economy."
The announcement comes as government comes under mounting pressure over migration figures - an issue that has reportedly caused splits in the cabinet.
Official statistics due to be published later this week are expected to show that net migration has increased from 504,000 in the 12 months to June 2022 to more than 700,000 in the year to December.
Ms Braverman recently made a speech at the National Conservatism conference in which she said the UK needed to "get overall immigration numbers down", adding: "We mustn't forget how to do things for ourselves."

chatinent: The way you are calling ₦5m as if it's long life and prosperity.
₦5m isn't a dream catch, uncle.
Everyone has different views and pursuits. It's true 5M is not a dream catch but to some 500k is a dream catch. It's a pity that poverty has eaten deep to the marrow of many Nigerians. You see people under the sun and rain hawking and sweating. If people like that sees 50k, not even 500k or 5M......they will thank you repeatedly for 1month. If it's easy for you, the case is not for common man on the street. Life no balance bro.

TheSourcerer: Good morning and hope you have a beautiful morning and a great read
The Invasion of Abeokuta in 1851 (the same year Lagos was bombarded by the British Naval forces if you read my lat 4 topics)brought to light the secret weapon of the Dahomey Nation. It’s deadly and ruthless Amazons!These amazon's were created due to the increasing slave raids on their captured male warriors by the Oyo Empire.
The first Invasion took place on Monday the 3rd of March 1851 around 3.43 pm. Commander Forbes, a British Naval officer, and Mr Beecroft, the consul for the Bights of Benin and Biafra were at Abomey (the capital of Dahomey) to make a deal to stop the incessant raids on Abeokuta and its neighbouring states. It was during this meeting that the Dahomeans concluded their plans of attacking Abeokuta once again.
An intelligence report has gotten to the Egba Chiefs of this invasion that was going to happen at any time. Some of the Egba Chiefs took this warning with a pinch of salt, except for the then Alake of Egbaland, Sagbua and the Balogun of Ikija, Balogun Ogunbona who was known for his brilliant foresight. They assembled the people and had the walls of the city around Aro (where the current Psychiatric Hospital is in Abeokuta) repaired but the rest of the city walls was in bad shape.
The Dahomey Amazons were ready and were concluding their war rituals before marching towards Abeokuta. Historical accounts say the leader of the band had all her warriors mark themselves in red and black body paint as they swore never to sleep, rest or eat until Abeokuta is overrun.
As they marched towards Abeokuta, they captured the small town of Ishaga 17 Miles from Abeokuta and had the Baale and the people pledge their support to them. The Baale of Ishaga pleaded with the Dahomeans to delay the time of its attack on Abeokuta, advising them to attack from the side of the ruined walls, this plan was to give Abeokuta time to prepare and be ready for the attack.
On Monday 3rd of March 1851, the Dahomeans soldiers entered Abeokuta. They were seen marching towards the gate at Aro with grim determination on their faces, a few of the Egba chiefs and warriors went out on a counter-attack but couldn’t withstand their strength. The Dahomey soldiers were almost bulletproof to the guns and arrows of the Egba soldiers and were seen with skulls tied with a rope around their waists. It is said that they drank from the skulls of their enemies. The number of skills on the waist of each warrior suggested the number of men that had died in battle under the sword of that warrior. The prize for each warrior was to have as many skulls as they could gather and add to their trophies.
It was during this 1851 invasion that Balogun Ogunbona of Ikjia, Sokenu the Seriki of Abeokuta displayed their legendary bravery that sealed their names into the books of Egba History for life. They fought and defended Abeokuta with their lives. The trench around the walls at Aro was filled with blood and bodies, but these Dahomey warriors would not stop nor rest as they were seen climbing other dead bodies with their own bodies mutilated as well and launching forward to climb the walls into the city. The Egba warriors were taken aback by the strength and determination of these warriors and even at a time, it was said that they weren’t mere mortals.
At that time, it was a barbaric custom for the Egba warrior to cut the head and the genitals of their first captured victim and send it as a trophy to the Alake. When those who entered the town first were captured and killed and the trophy was sent to Alake, it was then the Egba’s found that they had been fighting with women.
The mere fact that they were fighting with women and almost got defeated by women got the Alake and the Egba warriors angry, they couldn’t go back home and tell their wives that they had been fighting with women all along. They came up with a more drastic and more aggressive strategy to push back the Amazons the next day. This they did and finally on the 3rd day, (March 6th 1851) they drove the Dahomey army back.
The Dahomeans left more dead behind than the captives they succeeded in taking away with them, including the skulls of the unfortunate victims that were captured on their way back to Dahomey.
It was a great relief to the Egba warriors and the Alake who later found a way of managing the story that the town was held at its throat by women for three days. But that was not the last the Egba’s would hear from the deadly amazons. They invaded Abeokuta again on the 15th of March 1864 at exactly 7am in the morning.
The second invasion was managed on the Egba side, who now has better guns and a more drafted war strategy but still suffered again in the hands of the deadly Amazons. One year later, Abeokuta was avenged by Balogun John Okenla who raided Dahomey afterwards and avenged the Egba in retaliation for its attack and wiped off the national disgrace they inflicted on Abeokuta in 1851 and 1864.
After the two major attacks and nearly overrunning the ancient town of Abeokuta, the notorious exploits of the fearless, deadly Dahomey amazons would never be forgotten in history. They came, saw and almost conquered.
Nice one OP... Wonder Woman must have fought the war back then. The Amazon women are strong and they existed. It's not a myth. That's why they put in movies so that everyone can know they existed. Wonder woman 1984 and the rest..... All these white people will steal African stories and put it in movies using white characters.
But wait ooo, you mean say because the guy begin give you ride and take you to his store, you come tell your formal guy say you no do again abi?
You turn am to prophet abi? Abeg wetin him don prophesy give you again?
Don't mind them. Conspiracy theory at work. How will a guy waited for you to break up with your ex before dating you? .....you na queen of England? The Tori no complete.
MrBrownJay1: today flogging a child is considered abuse, even though majority of us are great human beings today because of these same "abuse"... so make sure that you A) have kids with a woman who follow your school of thought and B) live in a country where flogging is allowed-
no wonder kids in the UK (and all over the world) are now out of control!
MrBrownJay1: you mean PICTURED live or CAUGHT live....? abeg let us see the photos of the pepper soup for better understanding.
Funny enough, cobra is not delicious and have lesser meat in pepper soup. Constrictors like pythons are sweeter and their meats smells like beef when you slice more onions.
Urheadmaster: Let them kill all the police officers finish
It will be turn of your dad, your siblings and lastly yourself one day. If you derive joy in killing other people's s dad and relatives , your death is imminent. To say the truth, Igbos are the major cause of their own problems. How can someone declare "sit at home" and everyone is taking action on that? The person in question is even flexing his life. I wonder if they have brains or memory cards.
Enemyofpeace: The "Bushbaby" tale, is it real or fake? Have you seen one before? Is it true that, when you collect their mats from them, you become rich and wealthy?
This thing still exists na. A friend of mine has seen one before in shagamu.... around Isale oko,along that road that goes to Ikenne. Please if you can get that mat for me, I will buy.
They're making us proud, while fools are joining politicians to spread hate against themselves.
Congratulations to the 23yrs old lady.
Oil dey your head! Thanks for this. Don't mind Igbos and Yorubas. They like each other and their relationship is more cordial compare to Hausas. Even when it comes to marriage, Yorubas and Igbos flows well unlike any other tribe. Their hatred starts on social media platforms and ends there due to politics.
Three 🇺🇸 U.S soldiers were killed and another was injured when two US Army AH-64 Apache helicopters crashed Thursday as they were flying back from a military training flight near Haley, Alaska, US Army officials said.
Two of the soldiers died at the scene and the third died while being transported to a hospital, according to a release from the US Army’s 11th Airborne Division.
The names of the deceased are being withheld until 24 hours after their families have been notified, the release said.
The crash occurred about 100 miles south of Fort Wainwright, where the helicopters are based as part of the 1st Attack Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment.
“This is an incredible loss for these soldiers’ families, their fellow soldiers, and for the division,” Maj. Gen. Brian Eifler, commanding general of the 11th Airborne Division, said in the release. “Our hearts and prayers go out to their families, friends and loved ones, and we are making the full resources of the Army available to support them.”
The injured soldier is being treated at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, according to the release. Details on the extent of their injuries were not provided.
“The Fort Wainwright community is one of the tightest military communities I’ve seen in my 32 years of service. I have no doubt they will pull together during this exceptional time of need and provide comfort to our families of our fallen,” Eifler added.
Fort Wainwright’s Emergency Assistance Center is available to “provide support for families, friends and fellow soldiers of those involved in the crash,” the release said.
The crash will be investigated by an Army Combat Readiness Center team, the release said.
This would be the third U.S.Military helicopter crash this year. What's happening? Village people don dey reason U.S. Mata.
Confusing bunch, is she a virgin or she has been celibate, or is she saying that she has never bleeped for love before, thereby making her a virgin in a romantic relationship, but with no doubt she bleeps for the money. What a big bare faced lie
Trying to understand this gender is like using a basket to fetch water
She's a virgin bikko. I meant virgin Atlantic. Fear that gender.
