Emefiele only needs to identify Jibrin and prove that he delivered the money to him. If he can't do that and the documents presented to him were not in tune with the usual format but he paid, then there's a problem. What stopped him from clarifying such a huge request from the relevant authority before payment? Not so tidy from someone with years of banking experience.

He did well land and house in Abuja together
Life time investment he gave them


This is wise of him the rich among them will build plaza or house for rent on the land

They will have something to fall back on wheh they retire

If I was president I will allocate free land to anyone abroad ready to invest 1m dollar in real estate or manufacturing

Land was allocated to those who were genuinely interested in developing estates in Abuja in the OBJ era. The houses were sold fairly cheaply then to make it easy for civil servants and average people to buy.

Prices of food stuff should not be one of the consequences of fuel subsidy removal if Nigerians are farming, imagine if northerners don't practice Agriculture, how would our lives be? A bag of beans would be imported and sold at ₦1.5m, northerners are so much underappreciated, we Yorubas have enough and more fertile land than north, but our youths have much more interest in Yahoo and Hook-up.

That's the bitter truth but those who chose to farm in the SW are facing difficult times from herders and terrorists. Some farmers went to Soun of Ogbomoso recently to complain. Same in Ekiti and parts of Ondo.
If insecurity is well managed, farming will attract more young farmers. Not every young man wants to live foolishly as a yahoo boy/hook up girl. It's a curse filled life for those who understand spirituality.

Why didn't he speak up on insecurity in Buharis era? The North was busy proposing and defending the "amnesty" idea for terrorists which has obviously created more problems for the nation.

If farmers are able to farm without terrorists destroying their farms, maiming, kidnapping and killing them, our hunger situation will probably not be as bad as this.

Do they have any links with Ghana? Suhum and Fante areas to be precise? I am trying to see if there's any way to trace long lost distant relatives I that area.

Those who were more inclined to settling in Ghana in the past are Ogbomoso, some Oyo North and Offa people.

Nothing special. Many Ejigbo people have dual citizenship. Ivory Coast languages and French are freely spoken in their town just as Ghanaian languages used to be popular in Ogbomoso.

Rice pyramid in the face of herders and terrorists?

There'll be massive production once insecurity is tackled and sorted out permanently.

MrProlific95:
All these protest against Tinubu are sponsored by northern politicians, what do they stand to gain?

In my honest opinion, they stand to gain nothing and they cannot bring Tinubu government down.

It is possible but the truth is that life is very hard now for the average Nigerian.

Mrchippychappy:
Forced to be the picker. Now wey dem don show her the main guys behind the scene go move sharply. Dumb security operatives

She wasn't forced. She's always been associated with hard core criminals. Read the story.

In today's Nigeria's situation, can someone manage 1.5million for a wedding?

Yes, if you do court wedding with very few guests and the Bride's family don't demand much in terms of bride price, items to buy and a big traditional ceremony.

Let's see how far that goes in making things better but it's not a long term solution. People are being driven away by herders so they can feed their cows or being made to pay terrorists heavily to access their farms. Also the cost of transportation is outrageous.

The most important thing is to tackle insecurity first and support farmers in every way possible...road infrastructure, well planned farm settlements like in the Awolowo era, subsidy for or provision of modern farming equipment etc

Where possible, the rail network should restart cargo operations at a reasonable cost. The overdependence on trailers is a problem.

Ha! This is terrible. The girls are definitely from poor homes just being used for commercial purposes. They'll probably get a token for their 9months labor but this isn't fair. Legal adoption or surrogacy is ideal for those who want babies. These other crooked methods including the stealing of other people's children and justifying it is absolutely inhuman.

And nobody could assume the position of the driver to regain the steering. Most death cases in Nigeria are avoidable

Read before commenting! Someone did.

Total respect to Osimhen for playing his role well. He didn't focus on goal scoring which would have been a major distraction with bad results. He was a waymaker for others to score.

Kudos to our keeper Nwabali.

God bless our Super Eagles much more.

For those of you that don't understand English, the man said they have sold your crude oil in advance and pocketed the money, and aso you people should exercise patience and remain hungry for the next six months, or six years

My advice to you is to buy a small bowl, relocate to your street junction and start begging, as the state governor is passing with other politicians, they will be dropping change money for you to chop.

Funny but e never reach that level.

It seems the last administration tied some loans to supply of crude for a period of time. Good deal for the creditors if equivalent cost is calculated at the old price. A big loss for us if so.

NGArmyTerrorist:
Will this Change the fact that there's a great hunger in the country! If only all these evil entities and co. will tweet about the current situation of the country so that this evil govt will get the msg quick

Back to reality next week. Meanwhile let people be joyful for a change.

That's what happens when you prioritise amnesty and rehabilitation for criminals and leave our soldiers to suffer extreme physical and mental stress. The enemy keeps coming back refreshed and the war never ends.
When there's no punishment, criminals thrive and make life more difficult for law enforcers.

I remember that some soldiers were complaining at a time about serving at the battle front for longer periods than necessary. Seems they were supposed to be on duty by rotation. That and regular health checks should make a difference.

Peaceful rest to the unfortunate soldiers.

Full grown men who can't find something meaningful to do! Awon alapamasise. They just like reaping without sowing. Such an unworthy life.

Gov. Sanwoolu was there some months ago speaking to them in English and Yoruba on the need for them to relocate. He told them that he doesn't want to hear stories that touch. The video is online. Clear them today, they're back tomorrow. Build a fence, they'll break it somewhere. It's up to them and their families if they choose to risk their lives.

For those doubting the credibility of the CDS , let me paint you this scenerio.

It is undisputable to every one that the Nigeria army now fly drones isn't it?

The army on several occasions have intercepted and neutralized terrorists and bandits using these drones but before ground troops get to the area of rendezvous , only burnt out carcases of terrorists without their weapons would be met.
In some instances, they even go with their dead.

Another scenario is when surveillance planes give the coordinates of terrorists and bandits hideout and the artillery unit is called into action.
The forward ground troop meet the same situation ( bodies without weapons).

Well understood now. Thanks.
It means some of the terrorists have mingled with the villagers or some villagers are complicit.

Wishing you a happy, fruitful and peaceful home.

I wish we could all decide to drastically reduce our taste for foreign goods.

Imported drinks, designer wear, luxurious cars, furniture, cosmetics, even toothpicks all require loads of forex. The truth is that if we concentrate our focus on patronising local producers more, they'll improve over time and we'll save more forex. Reno Omokri may sometimes sound like town crier, but he said as much. When given a deep thought, it's obvious that he's right.

How can you be in Abuja and hope to effectively monitor every community where mining takes place? All that will happen is that the supervisory staff posted there will become Lords of the territories, accountable to themselves and others involved in the process. Whereas if the community is actively involved and they derive significant benefits, we'll get better results.

It seems that the only thing that will make mining more impactful for the government and the people is devolution of power. What we had in the first Republic is what is best for our nation.

Nice one! This is GRV's sister (Titi) at work. Great lady.

For the records, Sanwo-Olu did not build any rail line called "Red Line"

Nigerian politicians can be so deceptive. The cunning man simply picked the portion of the FG's funded (Lagos - Ibadan) rail line that falls inside Lagos territory and nicknamed it "Red Line"

The so-called "Red Line" starting from Agbado - Agege - Ikeja - Oshodi - Yaba/Oyigbo is a part of the larger federal govt owned Lagos - Ibadan railway project that falls under Lagos territory.

Sanwo-Olu should explain it this way to Lagosians, he won't die. All the governor is doing to procure the train coaches
.

LASG made use of the corridor but laid additional tracks. How are they going to share a track all through with the FG trains when they plan a longer distance and will move more frequently? Remember that a track also leads to the airport area. This was non existent before.

They've also built stations all along the route. The new flyovers are additional infrastructure to make it easier for the trains (including FG trains) to pass with minimal interaction with human and vehicular traffic.

Let's praise when it's deserved and criticise constructively when things are not done right.

Pepperdemisback:
That's how criminals pretend to be abnormal to evade prosecutions. It is a strategy.

Hmmm! That's possible.

thorpido:
How can you get a restraining order to stop investigation when you are supposed to be an autonomous organisation?
This country never ready.

The sect got the restraining order to avoid EFCC probing further.

Unfortunately, the Court's restraining order makes it difficult for him to disclose the name of the religious sect. That could be seen as contempt. Our judiciary amazes at times.

At least we now know it's a thriving enterprise with big wigs at the background. That answers Shehu Sani's question of why the foot soldiers always look wretched.

Fake News

The courts were used and settled the Matter

Please how was it settled?

I wonder if this woman is okay considering that smile on her face.
