sheddyboy01: Life has phases, there is always a starting point, having submitted CV in several organisations with few call up and no job offer yet, I decide to give Okada Business a try. And if you reside in Massaka, Nasarawa State. And stays around Akwanga, Gwandala, Luvu, Area 1, Zone 5, Zone 4, Up-market etc do well to patronise me.
You can as well tell us how you started, it would mean a whole lot to us at this stage of life.
chiiraq802: No wahala. As long as Northerners are bombing Northerners. It's good for Nigeria. They're parasites. They can bomb themselves to oblivion. No f.ucks given.
AlaafinOfOyo: This is actually where I had problem with IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu. Historically, Ndigbo do have ancestral links with the Efiks and Ibibios, but that is now history.
We all know that for every Igbo nationalist, Nigeria is a no-no - a country moving in circles for 60 years. So we Igbo want our own country, the way we had it before the British placed us in this aweful contraption called Nigeria.
As an Igbo, would you prefer:
1. An Igbo-only country comprising all Igbo communities in any state they're found in Nigeria
2. Biafra, knowing that some Igbo communities, especially west of the Niger were not part of the 1967 Biafra
3. A quick exit for our southeast Igbo people
Think carefully before you comment. And share the benefit and demerit of each option.
Only for Ndigbo please...
Note how the A F O N J AS INVADED the post. Igbo and Biafra do give them sleepless nights. They just cannot imagine a country without the Igbo. Maybe they fear that Igbo exit would lead to a chain reaction that would cause others to leave and expose their bankruptcy if left to their own devices. What do you think chopnaira? what are AF O N JA scared of an Igbo or Biafra exit and never concerned that Ilorin, Kwr and maybe Lagos is gone?
all these ones from the South South are also igbos, but are denying to be igbos because of the tribulations igbos are facing in Nigeria today, so when we get Biafra or Igbo nation, let them be removed out. They can be removed, the igbos don't even need that oil in niger delta, they are God's people; God put the oil there then because it's igbo land, but if they deny it we can leave it out for them and then you'll watch what God will do after that... Peace☮️

Obi demands Release of Nnamdi Kanu, Joint Security, Economic Planning in S'East
A former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has urged the federal government to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and other freedom fighters, including EndSARS protesters still in custody.
Speaking to journalists in Onitsha on Saturday morning, Obi emphasized the need for leaders to prioritize security, warning that Nigeria is on the brink of becoming a failed state if urgent action is not taken to address the worsening insecurity across the country.
Obi stressed that the primary responsibility of government is to ensure the security of life and property, which he described as the foundation upon which citizens can live and thrive in any nation.
He expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria, stating that no one can live in an insecure environment.
The former governor's call for the release of Kanu and other detainees comes amidst growing tensions and agitation in the country.
Kanu, the leader of IPOB, has been in detention since 2021, facing charges of treason and terrorism. His continued detention has sparked widespread protests and calls for his release from various quarters.
He said: “The primary purpose of government is the security of life and property. It is the foundation on which people can live in any nation because no one can stay in an insecure place.
“It is worrisome what is happening in Nigeria with the news of killings, abductions and others have made Nigeria one of the most insecure places on the surface of the earth. In fact, it is leading to a failed nation.
“I thank government for their efforts so far, but there is need to do more, and all leaders must come together to join hands and fight this. In the South-East, there is need for the governors of the South-East to come together to be able to tackle it.
“Even in economic agenda, I want to see the South-East governors work closely more. We want to see them come together and also bring together other groups in the zone.”
“I don’t see any reason for his continued detention, especially as the courts have granted him bail. Government must obey the court.Rule of law is an intricate asset that we must cherish and live with. I use this opportunity to plead with government to ensure that all those who are in similar conditions are released and discussed with. We are in a democracy and we should not be doing things that are arbitrary and not within the law.”
Speaking about protest in Kenya Obi said,“I’m against riot or destruction of government assets and property, because it is still scarce resources that we are going to use to repair them, but I’m not against peaceful protests.
“Peaceful protest is allowed, but it must be for a reason and not personal interest of some people to satisfy a particular interest. It must be properly articulated and properly directed.
“I recall when people said there were protesting police brutality and I said to them no, let’s rather deal with the leadership. If we have good leaders, their agents can’t be bad. The problem is leadership. If the leaders are competent, have the capacity and doing the right thing, their agents will follow their examples.
“I want to use this opportunity to say that all those who are being held because of one protest or the other should be released. Whether it is freedom fighters, EndSARS protesters, or even because of freedom of speech, be it journalists, let them all be released immediately.
“We are a democratic country and people have right under the constitution to express themselves freely. They also have right to peacefully protest and we must listen to them. We must listen to those who say they are not happy, that is why it is a democratic nation. We should stop acting dictatorial and behave as if this is not a democratic country.
“I know we are in a state capture, but then, we should act in a manner that shows some decency.”
On whether there are plans for him to join other politicians to form a mega party to oust the All Progressives Congress (APC), Obi said he had no such plans.
“I will rather say that I’m more particular on how the poor Nigerian can feed. I will rather talk about things that are affecting Nigerians today. We politicians are preoccupied by election, and that is not what I’m after. I’m talking about how do we reduce the price of food?
“Our people are dying of hunger, how do we make life more conducive for the poor Nigerian, how do we make our people to earn more money, how do we pull people out of poverty. That should be our concern, and not forming a mega party.
“But if forming mega party is to be able to provide all these things I have illustrated, then I’m all for it. But if it is for state capture, so that you can take power and continue with the consumption, consumption, consumption, that we see today, I will say no. But if it is to move it to production, production, production, then I say yes.”
people from the South East are actually doing better regardless

BigkokoRep: What first began as a careless whisper from Bigkoko is now available for all to verify and confirm! The Northern Turks has decided to cook gbegiri a d Amala for Asiwaju.
A storm is gathering in the North, and several emir's and Sultan affiliated to ronuism will be removed, no matter how highly placed they are. Kano is done and dusted. Sokoto is currently in the offing. More monarchs will go as the North de-ronucize their states! It's an internal cleansing geared at making sure Asiwaju is not returned.
It's meetings upon meetings, the galore by political juggernauts of Northern origin! Buhari, Kwakwaso, El Rufai, Atiku....et Al. Big names who hitherto were Asiwaju buddies, it's a great Gain for Nigerians as we dash Asiwaju Reno Omokri, then collect these big guys!
North has decided to throw their weight behind the populist political newbie: HE Peter Obi! The current bone of contention now is who will vice him & why should he go for just one tenure as Asiwaju has stolen and used the other tenure!
The four most audacious personalities in the north has allied their interests: Buhari, El Rufai, Kwakwaso and AA. Yes, power will remain in the South, but it won't be Asiwaju!
Forget it. Even if Asiwaju appoints bros Seyi or aunt Remi as INEC chair, Asiwaju will still lose because those Lilly livered, gbegiri mulchers can't dare go rig up north! I pity the fools that would elect to go rig elections up north in 2027.
Bayero and Sultan are for Asiwaju, so they'll collect wotowoto..... Ado Bayero is down, remaining the sultan!
If the North allows PO to run twice,or if PO accepts to run just once, then consider Asiwaju gone! A new NIGERIA is possible. It starts with chasing out the Mandate tief legitimately in 2027.
For team Asiwaju: It is finished. It's now Operation loot and contest for Governorship so as to get immunity! I no mention anybody or chief of staff name ohh!
The hand writing is now clear for even naysayers. The North has abandoned Asiwaju!
The werey is now taunting Southerner votes.
Southern votes kill am there! He should harmonize Ronus votes!
The four most powerful northerners have ditched and now consolidating moves to finish Asiwaju kpatakpata... Buhari. Kwakwaso. Atiku El Rufai.
Na only Ribadu, Wike and online Lagosians remain. Even Wike sef don tire to stand on the dead manhood. Bros Gbaja don dey eye immunity in 2027, via Lagos State! Oga no dey for story that touch!

ezenwaez: 100,000 Families In Each State To Get ₦50,000 Federal Government Grant For 3 Months
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday gave all the state governors 7 days to come up with concrete feedback on their plans to revive food production in their respective states.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave the directive at the 142nd National Economic Council meeting attended by state governors and some deputies at the State House, Abuja.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu also announced a National Construction and Household Support Programme which will see 100,000 families in each state getting ₦50,000 federal government grant for three months, ₦155,000,000,000 to be disbursed for assorted foods, ₦540,000,000,000 for household grants even as 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory will get ₦10,000,000,000 allocations each for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses.
The ₦50,000 federal government grant planned for 3,700,000 households across the 36 states and the FCT, the ₦10,000,000,000 allocation each for CNG buses in the 36 states and the FCT, as well as the ₦155,000,000,000 spending on assorted foods, are estimated to cost over ₦1,000,000,000,000.
While emphasising the urgency of boosting food production in the country, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu urged state governors to work together to meet the needs of Nigerians, stating his willingness to provide the needed support to ensure that Nigerians are relieved of hardship.
“We must deliver on our targets at all levels. Please report back following your consultations and submit it to my office within seven days.
“How much support do you need from me and in what form? I am prepared to provide it. But we must achieve the result.
“There is nothing we are doing that is more important than producing high-quality food for our people to consume, buy, and sell. We create jobs in the production of it. And that is before we generate wealth by exporting the excess. It is not beyond us to achieve this for Nigerians,” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's comments followed multiple economic challenges faced by the country. High inflation driven by the removal of fuel subsidies and exchange rate depreciation reached 27% year-on-year in October 2023.
This price surge, coupled with high food insecurity has increased the cost-of-living crisis, leaving Nigerians struggling to afford necessities.
Despite adopting significant policy reforms like fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification, the challenges of poverty, stalled per-capita growth, and a weak business environment persist and are compounded by external pressures such as global food price surges and geopolitical uncertainties.
At Thursday’s National Economic Council (NEC) meeting, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced new plans to boost agricultural productivity, strengthen the economy by creating opportunities in the real sectors of agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, and provide urgent economic relief for Nigerians.
This includes the immediate rollout of the National Construction and Household Support Programme to cover all geo-political zones in Nigeria.
“Under the programme, the Sokoto-Badagry Highway, which will traverse Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos, is prioritised,” according to a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Ajuri Ngelale.
The statement is titled, ‘President Tinubu urges governors to meet target on food security; approves immediate rollout of national construction and household support programme.’
The national construction and household support programme also prioritises other road infrastructure projects, such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which is underway and the Trans-Saharan Highway, which links Enugu, Abakaliki, Ogoja, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa and Abuja.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu also approved full counterpart financing for Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Railway; to traverse Rivers, Abia, Enugu, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno, as well as for the Ibadan-Abuja segment of the Lagos-Kano Standard-Gauge Railway; which will traverse Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, Niger, Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano.
Mr Ajuri Ngelale noted that the national construction and household support programme would especially prioritise the Sokoto-Badagry road project “For its importance as some of the states it will traverse are strategic to the agricultural sustainability of the nation.”
Explaining the rationale for the project, the Presidency said, “Within the Sokoto-Badagry Highway corridor, there are two hundred and sixteen agricultural communities, fifty eight large and medium dams spread across 6 states, 7 Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, one hundred and fifty six local government areas, thirty nine commercial cities and towns, and over 1,000,000 hectares of arable land.”
Other items under the National Construction and Household Support Programme include: “One-off allocation to states and the Federal Capital Territory of ₦10,000,000,000 for the procurement of buses and CNG uplift programme.
“Delivery of ₦50,000 uplift grant each to 100,000 families per state for three months—provision for labour unions and civil society organisations.
“Deployment of ₦155,000,000,000 for the purchase and sale of assorted foodstuff to be distributed across the nation.”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is attending the National Economic Council meeting, often chaired by his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, for the first time.
National Economic Council (NEC) was expected to deliberate on the new minimum wage given President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's decision to step down the proposal of the National Minimum Wage Committee at Tuesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting to allow for more consultations with necessary stakeholders, including the state governors, all of whom are members of the National Economic Council (NEC).
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had said he would only submit a new national minimum wage to the national assembly for passage into law after such talks.
However, council members who briefed State House correspondents after the meeting were silent on the minimum wage matter.
Announcing the resolutions reached, the Minister of Agriculture, Abubakar Kyari, who joined the governors of Imo, Kano and Kogi to brief correspondents, revealed that the federal government has approved a $1,000,000,000 agriculture mechanisation programme that will set up one thousand agro-sector service providers across Nigeria with tractors.
Abubakar Kyari said, “We’ll have a minimum of two thousand tractors a year for the next 5 years and all other aggregation of agricultural commodities is going to be utilized at least nothing less than six hundred thousand youths to man these one thousand service centres.”
Abubakar Kyari stated that the elaborate plan is an arrangement with John Deere and Tata to provide two thousand tractors before the end of the year. They will be rolled out as soon as is feasible, Abubakar Kyari said, adding that the project was approved by the Federal Executive Council last Tuesday.
According to Abubakar Kyari, the Greener Imperative Project, which he said was still in the works, is a €950,000,000 project that will soon be launched.
Abubakar Kyari disclosed that the Federal Government was anticipating another deal with Belarus Tractors to supply two thousand tractors per year for the next 5 years, with nine thousand implements and spare parts, among others.
Abubakar Kyari also said Saudi Arabia had expressed interest in providing two hundred thousand metric tons of red meat every year and 1,000,000 tonnes of soya from Nigeria.
“We have already last week had a meeting with our entrepreneurs and we have come out with a roadmap where we can supply and satisfy that demand.
“We are looking at partnership with foreign governments, not necessarily trying to ask them to come and invest, but asking them what can we produce so that we can sell to you so that we can earn foreign exchange,” Abubakar Kyari added.
In his remarks, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State said that the National Economic Council (NEC) directed the sub-committee on crude oil theft right provide comprehensive recommendations to end the menace during the next meeting.
Governor Hope Uzodimma said that even though the sub-committee was expected to submit its report during Thursday’s meeting, “it was inconclusive.”
Meanwhile, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State announced the constitution of the board of the Niger Delta Power Holding, which he said had operated for a long time without a supervising board.
Governor Abba Yusuf disclosed that it is made up of governors of Borno, Katsina, Imo, Ekiti, Kwara, and Akwa Ibom states representing the different geo-political zones.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, spoke of the activation of the Presidential Food Systems coordinating unit chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Peppermaster: Anioma State in Southeast: Paschal Adigwe, Former NASS Member Disowns Ned Nwoko
FOR THE ATTENTION OF OUR POLITICAL LEADERS, COMPATRIOTS, AND FOLLOWERS
My attention has been drawn to a group picture which includes my humble self, Hon Pascal Nwaoranine Adigwe and some ANIOMA PERSONS who came to ABUJA to visit their Senator, depicting my involvement in a purported vote of confidence and apparent endorsement of creation of Anioma state and it's annexture to South East geopolitical zone.
I consider the use of this picture as a representation of the above highly offensive to my sensibilities, antithetical to my nature as a person, invariant understanding of who we are, where we belong, and how we do things.
I did not fall from the sky, birth place, traditionally, politically and otherwise. That I graciously accept to put my life and future on the line to assist our brothers in need to win elections with my God given talent, discipline, coordination, gregarity and terrain knowledge to make them succeed do not reduce me to a fool who doesn't know his roots nor politically schooled enough not to know how things are done, when and where.
This picture was taken close to six months ago in Sen Ned's office when Obi Nzemeke, an obi friend, pleaded I took them there, knowing I was a member and could give them easy passage.
The only topic discussed there was about Pan-Ocean oil company cheating Anioma people, and it ended there.
No one has gotten back to me ever since then nor have I set my eyes on Sen Ned or had any further dealings nor interaction with him since over six months now especially as the last messages I sent to him then still remained unaawered till date many months now.
Our people would attest that i am a very content man who goes about supporting our people to succeed but I know my limit and what spells good for me hence I have to put up this write up to correct the erroneous message this picture and attached captions could maliciously convey especially to the less discerning and gullible minds. I AM NOT A MEMBER OF IZU ANIOMA NOR KNOW THEIR MEMBERS, I WAS NOT PART OF ANY ENDORSEMENT NEITHER AM I IN A PLOT TO PUSH OUR PEOPLE TO SOUTH EAST....IT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED WITH ME....
I have been taking a dignified silence over many issues including my OGWASHI dam and many others but allowing everything fly pass is coming together to injure the political armament and goodwill I have built over the years that many have enjoyed its deployment hence I have to correct this narrative before things get out of hands.
I have incurred a lot of lessons with what I go home with after all these innocent and tortuous gestures of mine, but I have no regret. Lessons have been learnt and glory be to God. I only just plead not to be entangled with further controversies and fights I know nothing about.
I plead to you Ned promoters to give me my peace so I can move on unblemished before the political family I belong to, before our people that I adore and God almighty that I serve and depend on.
