They will soon arrive to ask how airport redevelopment affects the common man, or how it was Mr Buhari that told the President to do the project, or say this is the only project the President has to show for 3 years in government. They will only acknowledge a project done by the politicians they support. |
If he was seated in the 3rd row, that's humiliation and disrespect of the highest order. That's terrible. At times,you do see the point of those from the East who complain about how they and their leaders are treated in Nigeria. Imagine Mr Tinubu being sat in the 3rd row of ANY APC meeting during Mr Buhari's government even when it was obvious things weren't right between them. That would have been the last APC meeting Mr Tinubu would have attended. Them no born them. ADC is now a hostile territory for Mr Obi. Even if he wins the primaries, most of the Northern ADC politicians will likely not support him in the Presidential elections. |
Reaching a decision and writing a judgement are not easy. Supreme Court judges can't magically turn into superhumans because a party to a case demands urgency. The Supreme Court will do its best to reach and release its judgement as quickly as it can. |
If elected, this sort of person will likely hold his allegiance to his religion not the generality of the populace. |
Wickedfact:The Governor's certificate was issued on a Sunday? May be studied in the Middle East ![]() Orisirisi. |
Lol The manner of questioning is very similar to how the head of the family in a traditional yoruba setting would pose questions to a nutty family member during a family meeting. Segun, did you do this? Is it true, Segun? ![]() |
On trips to and from the mainland recently, I was surprised not to see much traffic or hordes of pedestrians walking along main roads as it used to be. Many parts of Lagos are gradually becoming more orderly. Or are people migrating out of Lagos Many roads are generally less busy, which is good. |
Power plants takes several years to build. For immediate intervention, the government should do a government to government deal on solar with the Chinese government on 1.5kWh to 2.5 kWh LFP solar power package and sell them at cost. This will be cheaper and affordable for many people. Imagine if government borrows $3 billion for something like this and import them enmass, sell at cost, recover the money, and repeat the exercise again and again for about 10 times over the next 3 years, that will help relief a lot of the power challenges in the near term. And that should happen as investment in big power plants are also continuing. |
NaijaGoBetter2:Great. That means I was being pessimistic, because the last treasury bill I bought was like 19%. I assumed banks savings interest rates are usually lower than treasury bills yield. Anyway, it's good to know savings rates are as high as those you quoted. Ladda, make una no vex o. |
Interesting. I'm not aware of any commercial bank in Nigeria today that offers 20% interest on basic savings. Not even Opay. I'm not saying anything is wrong with this company o, but you might want to ask them questions about why they're able to offer such high interest before you deposit your life savings. I'm sure they have perfectly legitimate answers, but ask first. |
Only God can save the black man from self destruction. Wednesday - N1348 Thursday - N1355 That means Naira weakens ![]() You people just want to destroy your own country with lies because you want your candidate to be President. No problem. Continue. |
Many women don't want it every day, particularly the very busy types. This woman clearly does. |
Mr Tinubu has been gradually decentralising (restructuring) the country, but some Southerners are not bright enough to see it. They prefer Norther domination as long as it means Mr Tinubu is not President. Yet, the man has not done anything wrong to their region. It's pure, unjustified hatred for the man. |
So the NBC reminding the press and broadcasters of their statutory responsibility to maintain balance, treat all sides of politics equally and professionally amounts to government intimidating the press Mr Obi? Very dishonest, deceptive, and hypocritical man. |
koxyz:Nigerian government doesn't buy crude oil. That's Dangote refinery. You people just get worked up over every little thing. Crude oil is an international product. The United States is the largest producer of crude in the world. It exports, but also imports massive amount from Canada, and even Nigeria. Saudi Arabia imports large volumes of crude oil, even though it is the largest exporter of the product. The crude oil market is complex. It is not like buying and selling of tomatoes. You people should get back to your work and stop the noise. |
There is surplus and superior beef in Australia and Brazil and they expor frozen beef across the world. The government should permit importation of frozen beef. |
brain54:Quite the opposite. They will avoid this thread. They will look for a thread where they can shout 'bulabu', 'the country is finished', 'the country is worst' etc |
It seems OK is not ok. |
Angelfrost:Many Nigerians in villages and towns (the ones that actually turn out to vote) don't really follow or understand the internal shenanigans of the PDP. They know and have always voted PDP. Thy remember when a bag of rice was N18,000 under PDP . That's all.They may have heard of ADC, but they don't necessarily know much about it. This set of people will always vote PDP. |
People underestimating the damage PDP can do to ADC's prospects. As we saw in some of the elections in recent times, PDP still get several times more votes than ADC. The name PDP has deep resonance with millions of people in villages and towns across Nigeria. Many of these people are not online, and so don't know much about ADC. They have always voted PDP, and with a little motivation, they will still vote PDP come rain come shine. In 2027, I suspect PDP will target 5 to 7 far Northern states, select popular locals as gubernatorial candidates, premise financial support for the Governorship election on such candidates delivering say, 20 - 25% of the votes in their states in the Presidential election, thus weakening Mr Atiku's vote counts. In the South, they will support Mr Tinubu. Without Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Nasarawa, there are only 15 Northern states where Mr Atiku needs to dominate massively to have any chance. So if PDP succeeds in taking just 20% of Northern votes, ADC will be down and out. |
Oga o. So the way to judge whether INEC is independent is whether an APC bus parks anywhere near INEC's Abuja office. How far must APC buses stay away from INEC's office. 2, 4, or 5 miles. Is it ok, if an APC bus is parked near INEC's office is Osogbo or Kaduna? Or, it's only the parking situation at the Abuja office that worries you. |
Truth. Fact. That was a real uppercut. Many of the large government corporations privatised under Mr Atiku, are dead. Big loss to Nigeria. |
Truth. Fact. That was a real uppercut. |
Mr Utomi is so good an economist, he ruined Volkswagen, and Bank PHP. In any serious country, failed theoretical economists like Mr Utomi would hide their head in shame. But not in Nigeria. |
A very hypocritical and deceptive man. He portrays himself as everything that he isn't. From the first time I heard Mr Obi speak, I knew he was not a character to be trusted. |
Lol! Basic spelling they can't do, yet they want to save Nigeria . I don't think Nigerians will stand under the sun come 2027 to vote Mr Dino Melaye as Minister of Finance, or Mr Aregbesola as Minister of Foreign Affairs (a man under who, as Minister, obtaining a Nigerian passport was a 12-month, corruption - ridden affair), or Mr Ologbodiyan (hope I got that spelling right) as Nigeria's Minister of Petroleum), or indeed an 80 year old as President. Nigeria doesn't need to be saved by them. It needs to be saved from them. |
The NBA is a crooked organisation that is corrupt to the core. |
Are middle class people not buying satchets of cornflakes? Why not satchets of rice. People who have a bit of stew now know they can eat their normal - size plate of rice for just N300. Even working people who have a bit more cash can opt for this. Mama, Papa, plus 3 kids, that's 5 satchets for N1500. Everyone chop clean mouth. Whether you take your raw rice from a 50kg bag, or a 130g satchet, once it is cooked, rice na rice. Big companies are not stupid. This company has done their research. They know 130g is enough per person. This thing will sell. |

Many roads are generally less busy, which is good.
. That's all.
