Obi is not desperate to be president. Nigerians should be desperate for credible leaders

dinomalaiye:
PO really disappointed me in 2023. Why cry when you have able bodied youth that will fight for you?

That's how Gej went and dash Buhai powerr, see where we are today

Wike must obey Fubara

Let it be same story, who is suffering now? Nigerians or Obi?

EreluRoz:
Do not field Obi else it would still be same old story. You all don't want to learn and accept reality on Nigeria's politics.

Wike must obey Fubara

You don't need marriage to bleep many women for years. I have seen it countless times and you know its true. Saying the guy probably did wedding just to bleep her is laughable. That would be extremely expensive, wouldn't it?

If you're not happy with the statement then blame the society, not me. Have a nice day.

sreamsense:
So, your own home training did not teach you how to recognize question and give response? Why responding to a message you lack understanding about? If I wanted to abuse you, I would have just responded to your careless talk by generalizing that "you don't need marriage to bleeb a woman for year". My question would have been wheather your own mother and daughter (if you have any) were bleebed for years too like you envisaged ?

You created room to be insulted by degrading women generally, but instead i just asked you to get sense next time by reading to the context and avoid jumping boundary to degrade opposite sex like that. You disrespected value of every woman with that uncultured way of reasoning even when the op did not imply. So, if I tell you to get sense in future post, but you term an abuse; will you consider getting more ignorance instead then?

I never insulted you but showed you another possible perspective.

You lack home training to throw insult carelessly

sreamsense:
What makes you think I will assume for him what he did not put in the writeup ? Why will you put words into his mouth? Did he tell you she lied anywhere in the writeup? Get sense, please!

What makes you think she did not lie about her genotype and he only found out after the traditional wedding?

There's not enough info to draw conclusions beside you don't need marriage to Bleep a woman for years

sreamsense:
Which kind irresponsible man is this? This is the step he supposed to take before wedding, but allowed love to cover his eyes. After he had slept with the lady for month to increase her body count, he now realized they are not compatible.

Even God is not happy with things like this, it is an act of deception on the part of man than the woman. Once married, it should be his cross to carry. After sexually abused her, he is now looking for another man to carry his left over. What a wicked man? Only God knows the mind of a man, there may be other things the man doesn't want about her again, but hiding behind genotype to cover face and does right thing at wrong time.

Man has better chances of getting another woman faster (because people don't look at man body count like that of a woman) than a woman getting man. For better for worse, now the man sees small worse, he ran. So far you failed to do the needful before marriage, it should be his cross to carry

No, its not about choice thats bought with money.

Democracy requires that the people are very enlightened and educated for it to work.

Democracy is not working because of many unenlightened, uninformed and excessively corrupt people.

A benevolent military dictator is whats best for Nigeria

agabusta:
The beauty of democracy is freedom of choice.

So you prefer to use a gun on them to go with your own choice right? From your point of view, your choice supercedes other people's choices??

I'm out of the country else I'd have gone crazy with the happenings

crazygod:
That's not possible. Your military generals have lost their spine and their mouth have been stuffed with blood money. Just find a way to get out of this country.

Nigerians are not ready for democracy, too unenlightened.

A benevolent military dictator is what's best for Nigeria

Nigerians have Stockholm syndrome.

Una mumu never do?

You're too naive

Verydarkhearted:
In Nigeria nobody’s hands is truly ever clean. So let them face their case. If hundeyin is innocent he shouldn’t be hiding.

You have no reason to keep supporting the disaster Tinubu if you were normal

Factcheck0001:
only losers like u care about all these irrelevants

EyeCumInPeace

Medipharm:
Walahi, I miss him too. 2012 Toyota Venza in January last year was #8M, Today It is #17M

How can both of you miss Buhari? Buhari is the second undisputed heavyweight champion of incompetence and corruption after Tinubu.

Governance ended with Jonathan.

Lies. Tinubu was rigged in by INEC and Bubu by shutting down IREV and manipulating figures.

He never won!

ednut1:
It’s looking like Tinubu sent moles to support obi so that Atiku votes can ge divided

So where is the source to the authority newspaper? Where is the link so I click it to their website?

Ezewuzie01:
You are the confused fellow. Authority newspaper is a reputable media organization with an address and office so if they lied, the demented Peter Obi would have denied it or sued them. Just because his phone was not hacked like when he threatened war against muslims in the Yes Daddy scandal does not mean he didn't give that assurance to his LGBTQ supporters that also include his homosexual son Oseloka.

Fg developed Lagos with Nigerian resources and as such Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally

Biodun556:
Only 10% of Lagos was Lagos colony. And that is Lagos island

You're a confused fellow. Show where Obi said what you accused him of

Ezewuzie01:
The link is on the first page. Peter Obi has a demonic pact with LGBQT promoters but vigilance by eagle-eyed Nigerians made sure his political career has hit the rocks and his plans failed.

Where is your credible source?

Post the link

Ezewuzie01:
Peter Obi's only son is a homosexual and this gay endorsement of the agulu crook was reported by a reputable newspaper Authority owned by Nnewi man. How is it a beer parlour gossip?

He initially removed subsidy but made the mistake of floating the naira which saw the naira running away from them to tissue paper.

With the massive fall in the naira, without bringing subsidy back, there would have been civil war because Nigerians cannot just jump from N195 to N1900

IGBOPROMISE1:
So what was Tinubu banging on about on inauguration day? I take it he’s usually not in the habit of opening his mouth before engaging his brain and being in full possession of the facts of what he wants to talk about (rhetorical question)?

Hope she won't have to face the South African counterparts in Nigeria, the ronu people

How does pouring petrol on someone without lighting the person cause death?

How many times have I inhaled petrol while transferring to jerrycans?

Talking like an outsider

Price of petrol abroad is over a $1/lit which should be over #1620/lit without freight cost.

Add freight cost and tell me why petrol is not being sold for #1700/lit?

Even if you give a refinery the crude so they give you back refined petrol, its still subsidy because that crude could have been sold for fg revenue

IGBOPROMISE1:
The entire situation is so convoluted and opaque! If there’s subsidy removal and with the devaluation of the naira by about 300%, common sense dictates that there should be more naira going to the three tiers of gov’t! Is this the case?

Dangote may have made a mistake with that refinery. Hope he doesn't go bankrupt

MossadAgent:
Let me explain...

The refinery cost about $15bn to construct and most of that funding came from international institutional investors.

What ever Dangote refinery will generate must go back to repaying his investors and lenders. So more capital flight.

Dangote was thinking more of exporting refined products to neighbouring African countries and expected the FG to grant him subsidised crude at the detriment of national FX inflows.

You will recall that at one time Dangote cement was selling cheaper in other African countries. This was because Dangote is more interested in FX than the naira.

The same scenario is what he hopes to achieve with his 600k bpd refinery . That is, priotising exports to meet his investors and lenders.

Don't even think for one second that Dangote refinery will crash the price of refined products. Rather , if it comes up stream, Dangote will priotize exports to local markets just as he did with his cement . Because Dangote needs to pay back his investors and lenders.

Capital was never moved from Calabar to Lagos because Calabar was never capital of Nigeria.

If you merge Togo, Benin Republic and Ghana together as one country and the new capital is Accra, will you say you moved the capital of the new country from Lome to Accra?

LifestyleTonite:
Do you think the white man was stupid when he moved the capital from Calabar to Lagos? He knew what he was doing.

Lagos had always been blessed right from the day God created the earth. It was blessed in that it was situated on the coast with access to the Atlantic Ocean. All of that made it a thriving city even before the white man came.

The Yoruba people figured the land out on time and laid claim to it. The white man came and saw what they saw, then decided to move his capital to the land. Shebi Calabar also has access to the Atlantic Ocean. Yet the white man dumped Calabar for Lagos. That's the same way your people dump your region for Lagos. It's all because of what the land offers.

Take away Yoruba people and the white man from Lagos and the land will still be prosperous because God blessed it to be so. Luckily, the Yoruba people had foresight and so they claimed it and made it theirs. There's nothing anybody can do about it. Calling it a no man's land for a million times a day won't make it so. Wake up and smell the coffee.

All the kings, Baales, chiefs, culture, towns, tradition, rulers, leaders of the state are Yoruba. If I were your people, I will wake up from my slumber and stop being covetous. It's impossible to steal a land in this day and age of information technology.

As for Lagos being developed by the FG, I won't disregard the fact that the FG played a huge role in what Lagos is today. However, you need to ask yourself what area of Lagos was controlled by the FG in the days of Lagos being the capital.

The FG controlled Lagos Island and VI as FCT. The other parts of Lagos was under the Western region controlled by Awolowo who developed it. The sage developed it with industrial estates, companies, free education, etc. To wake up now and claim that what we know as Lagos today was the FCT is a lie you really need to stop telling yourself.

Lagos is Yorubaland and is in their SW region. The SW doesn't care if Calabar is finer than New York, because we move st our own pace.

I'll advise your people to channel the energy used in dreaming about stealing Lagos towards developing a Lagos in their region. You people need to stop being on this wild goose chase. It makes you all look foolish and ridiculous before other tribes.

I know my words won't sink in because you people are hopelessly covetous. But note that you will never wake up one morning and see that Lagos has become a no man's land.

Lagos was a colony on it own different from western Nigeria. It was amalgamated to the other protectorates in Southern Nigeria before being joined to the North

Biodun556:
Why did they prefer lagos to Calabar?

Something must have informed the colonial masters that Lagos is the best place to stay

Calabar has never been capital of Nigeria. Just one or two protectorates for few years

gidgiddy:
Guy, Calabar was capital for just a few years. Lagos was capital for 80 years!

Lies!

Calabar and Enugu were never former capital of Nigeria.

Lagos was built by the colonial govt and fg govt with Nigerian resources

DevilsEqual:


Lagos was wholly built by the Western Regional Govt. Awolowo is up there as one of the best ever

As for Calabar and Enugu, they are a true reflection of the locals

God bless King Dosunmu and Kosoko. All their actions laid the solid background for what we are seeing about Lagos in 2024

Liar!

Calabar was never former capital of Nigeria!

Biodun556:
Every time, the bad thinking people will like to attribute Lagos success to one thing or the other to seve as excuse for their own failure and unwillingness to thrive.

They will say federal government deliberately diverts all ships to Lagos abandoning the ports in their region.

Or

That Lagos was former capital territory that's why it is thriving

Now

Kaduna houses most federal government institutions, why is kaduna not as developed as Lagos.

Calabar was former capital of Nigeria under colonial rule, why is it not as developed as Lagos?

Ogun state is second to Lagos when it comes to IGR and number 1 state with most manufacturing companies, yet it was not a former capital territory.

Secret of Lagos success

The secret to Lagos success are:

1. The geographical location of Lagos and the water. Even when Oodua was blind, Ifa oracle direct his children to get sea water to wash his face. One of his son, came to Lagos to fetch the sea water. And the son was then nicknamed Obokun (the on one who brought sea water) and there after became king in Ilesha, osun state. Till today, people of Ilesha are called [b][/b]omo obokun.

Economically, lagos sea is very deep, it can carry any kind of vessel. This is the reason why importers and exporters prefer Lagos ports.


2. The visionary leadership of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Eg his free education placed south west above other regions

Ikeja industrial estate was Awolowo initiative

3. Accomodations: Lagos indigenes like their Yoruba brothers welcomes none indigene without any discrimination so far they are able to maintain peace and grow the economy of the community.


4. Good governors right from time: Lagos has been blessed with visionary military and civilian governors. People of Lagos will always remember Bubba Marwa, lateef Jakande, Tinubu and his successors.

5. Peace: importers and exporters prefer Lagos ports because there is no case of vandalism, sea pirates, militancy on Lagos waters

Why are some people so dumb? There is absolutely no subsidy removal

DavidUkah01:
Fuel subsidy removal made funds available for FG, states to function effectively– Sen. Eze

By Ukah Dave

The Senator representing Ebonyi Central Senatorial district ,Senator Kenneth Eze, has defended the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government (FG) noting that it has made funds available for the FG and states to function effectively.

"The removal was an unavoidable measure to prevent the government from running out of resources.

“States in particular could not had seen funds to run its operations if the subsidy was not removed. I join other leaders in the country to urge the citizens to be patient".

He explained that the economic problems Nigeria is facing currently did not begin with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu but had built up for several years.

“Nigerians should know that the leaders feel their pains but with time, the policies of the present administration would manifest fully and things would be better.

"It takes a courageous and responsive government to take endearing economic policies which would not only correct the mistakes of the past but would secure the citizens's future".

Eze during the briefing, distributed over 1000 bags of fertilizer to farmers across the four LGAs which make up his constituency, assuring them of continued provision of democratic dividends.

He explained that the recent nationwide protest affected the transportation of the fertilizer from the depot in the North ahead of the event,but assured that as more of the fertilizers arrive the State, more farmers would benefit.

He noted that 220 bags of fertilizer was allocated to Ezza North, LGA, 220 to Ezza South, 400 to Ikwo, and 320 to Ishielu LGAs.

"I have made a financial allocation of N10 million to ease the transportation of the fertilizer to your various wards."


Senator Eze further said: "I have played pivotal roles in the passage of five significant bills in the National Assembly, co-sponsored several other important bills and stopped the passage of bills detrimental to my constituents' interest.

"I have facilitated the employment of over fifty Ebonyi people in the federal civil service as part of ongoing efforts to combat unemployment in the state,".

He thanked the State Governor, Francis Ogbonnaya Nwifuru, for fostering unity and adhering to the people’s charter of needs manifesto, noting that the governor would always have his support and that of his constituents.

"We wouldn’t have gotten our share of his magnanimity if not for the unity he entrenched in the state, as he created an enabling environment that allows leaders serve their people effectively,"

The Chairman of the Association of Local Government Of Nigeria (ALGON) in the state, Chief Moses Ogbdo- Ali Nome commended the senator for his magnanimity towards his constituents, noting that such was the hallmark of effective representation.

"The people are yearning for good governance from their leaders and would always appreciate those who enhance their wellbeing especially in these hard times,".

Mrs Jane Igboke, a Beneficiary at the event, thanked the senator and pledged to judiciously utilise the item in her farming endeavour.

Other Stakeholders who spoke at the event including a business Mogul,Arc. Christian Asaga, Deputy Principal Secretary to Ebonyi State Government, Hon Ereke, former Commissioner for Local Government, Hon Celestine Nwali, Commissioner for Rural Development in Ebonyi State, Barrister Ikeuwa Omebe, Commissioner for Environment in the State, Hon Victor Chukwu, Council Chairman of Ikwo LGA, Barrister Sunday Nwankwo, Council Chairman of Ishielu LGA, Dr Obinna Onwe, among others, commended Senator Eze for offering effective representation to the people of the zone and assured of their support.
