After all the lies and deceit by the minister and spending lots of funds on the so called contactless passport process, yet there's no headway on mere passport renewal, may God have mercy on these liars in power.

Person wey get over 11 million votes for primaries. Easier for a cow to pass through the eyes of a needle than for Tinubu to loose next year.

I hope you remember that the APC primaries figures were counted as 1, 2, 3, 10, 56, 600, 890, 5000, 6800, 25000 ........
So don't be deceived by the 11 million votes they reported.

The way APC has been rewriting history with their flagrant abuse of the constitution, I hope they and their sympathizers can withstand the same treatment when power changes hand someday.

If NG were to operate a regional kind of government, PO will be the president, but to win a national election will be a challenge for him because he has more of his followers in a specific region which is not how you govern a country like Nigeria. I wish him the very best nevertheless.

Are my the only one who feels this salary increase for the army doesn't makes sense at this time?

Nigeria currently has an overbloated recurrent expenditure that needs to be reduced,the government needs to reduce the cost of running government.
What we need now is closing down duplicate parastatals and agencies, reducing salaries of political office holders and civil servants.

More increase in salaries of civil servants and political office holders gives room for more budget deficits and more debts.

Only those with sound economic background would understand the point I am raising.

I totally understand and agree with your point.
All government MDAs today have over bloated staff strength because employments/recruitments are used as compensation for cronies of government officials, further contributing to increased personnel and running cost of these MDAs.

However, this is Nigeria where we vehemently support anything that benefit us personally without considering the overall good and contribution to national growth and development.

I hope recovers soon so as to face the full weight of the law alongside her accomplices. They are the people who give bad image to other Nigerian who are making all efforts to make legitimate income in foreign countries.

Spending billions of Naira to conduct a sham election, is just another avenue we waste resources in Nigeria, it's not worth it.

Their parents possibly gave birth to them through this kind of arrangement, and they grow up without any desire to attain economic freedom, instead of the governments to empower them thereby ensuring they are productive for themselves and the nation, they are using the money which includes tax and levies from others who work their socks off to encourage and sustain this stupidity. What a country.

If Nigeria were to be an accountability focused state, flaunting wealth that cannot be justified vis a vis past or present work/business records should be a criminal offense, but Alas, we celebrate criminals/corruption even when they smear our faces with proceeds of their loot.

SO IF IPOB KILLS 500 PEOPLE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN RAID THE EAST AND KILL 5,000 PEOPLE?

IS THAT JUSTIFIED TO YOU?

Has the federal government not been combating the proscribed IPOB group over the years? Do you know about, "Operation Egwu Eke/Python Dance" in that region?

Joker. So it's alright for Hamas and their collaborators to kill, rape and annihilate innocent people just because they're Jews but it becomes genocide when they're repaid in their own coin by Israel and allies? Let's keep deceiving ourselves.

Hashim Olawepo had 2613 votes during the 2019 presidential elections, i can't remember if he contested in 2023, but I must admit that staff of his companies faced tough times afterwards due to lack of salaries payment after elections had taken a huge financial toll on him. He is about to go through that route again, I mean, how many votes does he and other feather weights contenstants hope to get? Why don't they rally round as a formidable opposition rather than individually chasing shadows.

The last time this man contested, he had less than 2,500 votes across the federation, with most votes coming from staff of his companies and families. I don't understand why he delights in spending so much in futility and leaving his staff unpaid for several months just because company accounts have been emptied to contest elections.

I like the proposal by Atiku, but it's only obtainable in a western world where accountability, transparency and rule of law is germane . Unlike in NG where government are are run like secrets cult.

When it comes to securing their own bag, they're very proactive, but the massive hunger and hardship being faced by average Nigerians daiy is non of their business.

When these guys are instigating violence they don't think about the consequences of their actions, but when its full wrath is melted to them, you will see them and their gullible sympathisers organising staged protests across the world crying foul and playing the victim cards.

Even as this one just possibly crashed, there are others which people are still participating in on a low key. You will only get to know when their bubbles burst.

If you make N50B monthly from IGR alone , couple with massive FAAC allocation, these are the least we should come to expect as residents of the state. However, because our country has been so accustomed to mismanagement in all sectors, the projects in Lagos will look like strokes of genius to most people. It's high time we stopped making public officers look like they are doing the populace any favours for undertaking their constitutional responsibilities.

Another avenue yo loot big time. Who has the NYSC benefitted? Billions spent to achieve nothing over the years and yet they want to spend more through enlongation of an unnecessary program.
Nigeria just don't get her priorities right at all.

See "leaders of tomorrow" whose parents just managed through intense struggle to see through school displaying their utmost sense of immorality. Na everybody just get their own sense of madness in this country.

FG really got this this man right where they wanted. He will endure the Damsuki experience at least till the conclusion of the next election circle. They surely want to ensure that he doesn't pull any weight for the opposition.

It baffles me whenever I hear APC members/aspirants complaining of injustice, I just ask myself, what has APC ever done with equity and fairness before? Absolutely nothing, but because it favoured them in time past, they see it as being lawful, however now that it's has gone against them, they're crying injustice and foul play. They can all go hug transformers for all l care.
They're only consumed by the evil they helped nurture.

I have been waiting for this. I expect the task force to donate 9 billion torwards the renewed hope agenda as a thank you gesture to the president .

Politics of hate and bitterness is unfolding in Oyo state. There's more to this particular kidnap incidents than the bare eyes can see.
I hope government across all levels in the state and FG can synergies to root this evil out of the hitherto peaceful state.

Either of them will beat Abba easily with the backing of Kwawassiya, the problem is that APC will rig them out just as it was during the second term gandollar.

I know civil servants will praise the government and all that, but can we stop for a moment and ask ourselves, how can the state afford 50k multiplied by the total number of state workers. An amount that wasn't budgeted at the start of their financial year. This should tell a right thinking person that the government; FG and state simply collude to bring hardship on the citizens and are just throwing these crumbs in form of Derica of rice and now 50k just to further insult our intelligence.

Rufai should know that BAT doesn't openly speak about these things, but he get the message across through his cronies, hence the word, "Baba Sope", meaning, Father said that".
With what we have seen thus far, we know already the message from Baba .

The Taminu Turaki faction had zoned their ticket to WS, while ADC have not been definite with theirs, so Obi has no chance here because he is only seeking a platform where he is handed the ticket.

All these middle east Arabs strive on conflicts, so as to continue to enjoy the sympathy of the West. They deliberately destabilize their region and rush to Europe and America to claim asylum, this is a system that has been in a play for decades. The more reason that other stable economies in the region such as Saudi, Qatar, Egypt don't open their borders to them even if they rain brimstones on themselves.

He can get one for 500k, resell at 850k. Then continue like that until he open showroom.

I get your point but in the NG of today, when buys one, selling it off may not come quickly and buyers will term it Nigerian used thereby reducing it value.

Buying and selling of used motorcycles.

With 500k Naira? I doubt the feasibility of this o
