A country of exceedingly lazy and ugly men.

Emeskhalifa:
Why is he still playing World cup at his age? He should pave way for younger ones abeg

Go and pursue him.

At the rate this Reno dey go... hmmmmm

Who cares? Country of ugly men.

jetguy:
Please, I need tangible clarification...is it true that if person die, he/she can come back to life again 🤔...

I think it's time for me to give up, depression is real 😢

You'd probably come back as an ant or a fly. But I'll say don't bet on it. The ancient Egyptians were all in on reincarnation. Somehow we can't seem to find them around.

MemoriesAndMe:
Oh thanks for clarifying. So the Governor is a Reverend Father? I dont know him and didnt know it was about his faith. Thanks for clarifying.

He was a reverend father that was actually performing miracles and healing the sick. People will travel for hours from all over the state to attend mass and bring water for him to bless. I'm surprised how he has turned out as governor.

But then again, is there nothing and no one the APC doesn't mess up?

All of a sudden, Reno has found excuses for the APC led government incompetence.

Tinubu's supporters create more threads discussing Obi than they do promoting the performance of their principal. But that's fine. Even they know that there is a limit to how well you can package and sell failure.

Na Una talk say him no get wife o. Dem say the woman wey born for am dey Yankee.

OP. This is a Nigerian website. Keep whatever nonsense happening in that evil place you call a country away from here. Or South Africa doesn't have a near equivalent website like this you can post on?

The presidents supporters have carefully avoided this thread.

The way Igbo politicians are attacking and have attacked Obi even politicians from other tribes haven't. You can always trust an Igbo man to pull his brother down. This is not right.

Presidential material to who? He is a joke. His party was unknown until Obi joined the party. Let him stop deceiving himself.

This has been APC's plan all along. What they didn't factor in what the Obi will decamp to another party. Watch as the agents of the APC will look for the slightest reason to table a similar matter before the courts to get INEC to deregister the party.

To further show you conclusive proof that the APC planned this all along, in the next few weeks, Jonathan will fully come out and assume candidacy under the PDP. Mind you, the party has already declared him their candidate but he hasn't accepted or claims not to have.

Unless he is saying the Appeal court restrained the FHC from delivering judgement, which is not legally possible, as a court cannot restrain another court, then Bolaji Abdullahi is talking nonsense.

ADC thought they were wiser than the honourable court which has now thrown them into the dustbin of history

Your ignorance is astounding. Once a matter is before a higher court, a lower court cannot entertain it. Particularly when the higher court has fixed a date to deliberate the matter and deliver judgement. What that unlearned judge called Lifu did is an affront to the sanctity of the courts and an abuse of the judicial process.

madridguy:
How many people bear Dosunmu, Abari or Kosoko apart from their family.

where then are Tinubu's relatives? Who knows them? I'm not talking about the family that adopted him. Who is his birth mom? Who is his father? Where are his blood siblings?

The only reason why the NDC isn't affected by this is that Obi hadn't joined the party yet as at when this suit was filed. So NDC was not listed among the parties to be deregistered. This is clearly the handwork of the APC.
If you doubt me, watch as they go for the NDC next.

Oga, you don collect the rent money wey Atiku promise you. Pack enter house make you shut up.

They developed the boys face.

As it is now only 3 parties - the APC, PDP and LP have met the constitutional requirement of 25% of votes cast in a presidential primary. But this requirement was not in the electoral act before otherwise the APC and LP would never have been registered as political parties.
So the question is, when was this provision snuck in? And what have the legal advisers of the now deregistered parties been doing? This is malpractice!

Wahala oooooooooooooo

In proper wine etiquette, a standard pour for a glass of red wine is approximately 5 ounces (150 ml).The Equator Rule: A perfect pour stops exactly at the widest part of the glass bowl.Aeration: Filling the glass to its maximum width gives the wine the largest surface area possible to interact with oxygen, which allows it to "breathe" and release its aromatics.Swirling: Leaving the upper two-thirds of the glass empty leaves plenty of room to swirl the wine without spilling, helping to further release its complex flavors.Why the Others are IncorrectGlass A: Under-poured; it does not reach the widest part of the bowl to allow proper surface area exposure.Glass C, D, and E: Overfilled; they restrict the amount of air in the glass, prevent proper swirling, and mask the aroma profiles of the wine.

Dem dey learn dis kind thing for school? Wetin be the use?

I don't understand? Filled correctly as how? I no dey follow oyibo do that rubbish wey dem dey do o. Na dat cup E I dey go for. No give me wine then expect make I no full the cup. We no dey fear hangover where I comot from.

Good. I like this NDC spokesman. Sharp and articulate while calling Oshiomole out. Not that carcass that calls himself Onanuga, the patron saint of the shameless.

You know whose arms they don't seize? That of the Fulani rampaging all over Nigeria.

We must be wary not to fall for the tricks of the supposed owners of Nigeria. There is nothing like an islamization agenda. It is all a smokescreen to hide the actual aim of the Fulani.
What the Fulani are after is chasing people out of their lands and resettling in it. If Islamisation is their agenda, they will forcefully convert the people whose lands they are occupying. Their target is the rich vegetation areas of the middle belt and the south. With climate change and global temperatures rising, up north is becoming drier and with less vegetation. They need to possess green areas to rear their cattle.

DomPerignon:
And what happens at night?

Have you heard of batteries?

I expected better from El-Bubba but this his comment is brainless. There is a constitutionally set time in which Tinubu cannot stay in office beyond and that is 12 noon May 29th 2027. If he has to remain in office beyond that date then it must be because he is being sworn in for a second term.
Elections must be held as a matter of necessity. The constitution recognises nothing else.

OP subsidy removal was not an accomplishment by itself, it was an action taken by a government that didn’t have the balls to fight corruption in the petroleum sector to save itself from collapse.

Tinubu went about it in the worst possible way. He failed catastrophically on its implementation. You don’t just plunge people into financial losses just because you don’t have the balls to fight corruption. It was very convenient for him but not for Nigerians. The sudden transition was a nightmare. No cushions, no support, no serious plans in place to invest that money right back into the economy. Politicians only got richer.

He failed terribly. This shouldn’t be mentioned anywhere near his achievements.

You need to consider that if he hadn't removed the subsidy in its entirety when he did, he would not have been able to subsequently and turn of events like the current US invasion of Iran would have even pushed those subsidy costs up more.

I strongly believe that the pain of subsidy removal is far preferable than the outright economic collapse that continued subsidy payments would have caused. At least with removal of subsidy, the country gets to see another day. There is no way the energy consumption of a nation of 260 million people will be sustainable.

I'm sure a lot of heads are doing a double take at the captioning of my post. I believe though that we can freely support whoever we want while being objective in our analysis.

Yes, I support Obi and proudly so. At the same time, that hasn't blinded me from seeing and acknowledging positive steps the Tinubu government has undertaken. Let me get to the point.

The truth is a burden and can be uncomfortable to read or hear. But that inconvenience doesn't stop it being the truth. Was Tinubu right about subsidy removal? Could he have gone about it in a different, less hurtful way? I'll answer that shortly.

Nigeria would have collapsed if Tinubu hadn't stopped subsidy payments when he did. Every president before him, had toyed with the idea or even attempted some measure of subsidy removal. Subsidy payments was the elephant in the room of every economic policy meeting the NEC was having. But it was the holy grail few dared actually face head-on.

At a point, Nigeria's subsidy payments were exceeding its earnings. Nigeria was borrowing not for development but to offset subsidy claims. Claims that for the most part, were unverifiable. The country was shouldering fuel costs of a good number of neighbouring African countries. There was no way that was sustainable short or long term.

The argument can be made that Nigeria's present economic crisis can actually be tied to years of subsidy payments. The country was living on debt and borrowing from the future. That future is today and the cheque has come due. Nigeria borrowed so much for subsidy payments that these debt obligations and servicing costs still take huge chunks of our earnings. It doesn't help also, that future crude production was the collateral used to secure these loans. We must also take notice that a healthy portion of Nigeria's debt profile is debt incurred by the various states but that's a topic for another day.

If Tinubu hadn't stopped subsidy payments, Nigeria would have probably experienced a similar situation Greece and Argentina faced a few years back. But we aren't entirely out of the woods yet I must say.

Some have argued that Tinubu was wrong for channeling the freed funds accruing from subsidy payments to state governments. On the face of it, that appears to be a legit argument but here's a key overlooked detail. Every money that hits the federation account must be disbursed according to the distribution formula set by the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Committee (RMFAC). There is an enabling law backing this and the president would be remiss act otherwise.

In simple terms, no. Tinubu on his own cannot decide how the money canceling subsidy payments has brought, gets shared.

That said, he does his government no good by not putting pressure on the senate to investigate the NNPC and get to the root of how 210 trillion naira cannot be accounted for. Money doesn't just fly. Accountants know that every money has a trace and a trail. In who's interest is the Nigerian senate refusing to investigate this matter.

The country cannot be embarking on a borrowing galore when its chief earner, the NNPC, cannot account for over 30 billion dollars.

I welcome nuanced, well reasoned and fact based arguements. Thank you for reading.

OP, I am by no means a Tinubu supporter but I am very objective in my analysis. Tinubu did the right thing to remove subsidies on petrol. He however lacks the power to decide how to use those freed funds. The constitution doesn't give him that power. By the law that set up the RMFAC, every naira that hits the federation account must be shared according to set down percentages. Tinubu is powerless to stop that.
