[quote author=Dogalmighty17 post=141040546]These equipment were some of the items imported from the 16 billion dollars Obasanjo expended during his term as president. They were meant to be used for the National Integrated Power Plant project he came up with. The project was split into different parts among different contractors. There was no blueprint and it was more or less a free for all for cronies of the president. These imported equipment were meant to be installed in power plants awarded to other contractors. Those plants either never got built, remained unfinished or were built but with no consideration of how gas will get to them.
The persons who were given the contract to import these equipment, simply imported them and abandoned them at the ports since they had nowhere to deliver them to.
The current admin is about to go around seeking a 21 billion dollar loan. In 2003, this country wasted 16 billion dollars and did not generate a single megawatt of power. The Nigerian rot has festered for long. [/quot Shame to una
ebubeson: It was prophesied that someone will betray Jesus. Judas finally betrayed Jesus Christ, but he never repented. Peter denied Jesus Christ, but came back to Christ and was accepted. Jesus Christ would have forgiven Judas if He repented.
No matter the sin you have committed against Jesus Christ, even if it is a betrayal, tell Jesus Christ to have mercy on you and forgive all your sins. He will forgive all your sins.
What sin have you committed? Adultery, masturbation, fornication, bestiality, murder, abortion, gay, hookup, lying, paternity fraud, lesbianism, yahoo yahoo, rituals, vodoo, juju, witchcraft, hatred, envy, malice, worldly dressing, forging certificate, bribery, gossip, rape etc. Tell Jesus to forgive you all your sins and repent never to go back again.
Judas will make heaven God as make it that way that Judas will betray jesus for the scriptures bro be fulfilled
nairalanda1: And it's all down to the subsidy going....
I believe tinubu has lost the South east, largely because the South East's main industry, so to speak, is imports, and the sale of imported goods. Because the naira has been devalued, the amount of naira needed to buy forex has risen, which has made importing more expensive. Add the fuel subsidy removal making transport from the ports to the end point worse, and you have a lot of people suffering. Plus east relies heavily on food sent from the North...the grains, as well as imports, all now more costly thanks to dollars not being subsidised. As a result SE people are suffering massively .People would vote for Atiku and Obi.
Tinubu has also lost the North. Fuel should be reaching the N1500 mark by now, meaning that transport and so forth have gone up massively for many poor Northerners. Northern traders are having to deal with increased transport and other costs, ditto middle men. And the North is Nigeria's poorest region, so...there we are. Then the North has a raging insecurity problem, (it also affects the middle belt too, and the South). All that adds up to people voting for Atiku and Obi at the end of the day.
South West too is not safe, insecurity is a big problem, throw in high transport costs thanks to subsidy removal, and high costs of imports, and there you have it.
South South is going to be split between NDC and ADC.
The main thing is subsidy. In a way, with benefit of hindsight, tinubu and buhari should have supported susbdiy removal in 2012, by now the hard times from the removal would have dissipated, and assuming no changes in the leadership, there would have been enough in the reserves to pay for some limited subsides without borrowing. Instead, the best government can offer is a limited subsidy which would be paid for by borrowing.
In a way, tinubu is paying for supporting subsidy retention in 2012. He should have listened to the economists, not to the populists. But power hunger got him there (gej too should have been strong enough to remove subsidy, really tho).Had he listened to the economists, subsidy removal in 2012, would have meant that there would be no draining of the forex reserves to pay for subsidy on naira and on fuel.
Also, in 2015, APC had 15 million votes, in 2019, 19 million, 2023, 8 million. APC has been losing votes, not gaining.The signs are clear from that.
Subsidy is the issue in this election, and a good deed is going to get rewarded with removal. Funny enough, I doubt tht whoever takes over would bring back subsidy, but I do know that in 94 days time, Nigerians would vote out APC.
(I am ready to eat my words...but this is how it is going to be IMHO.)
It's tinubu the one controlling the the price of fuel or the international market bros get sense . I bet u tinubu will win again n again. Carry talk anyhow

Sowore Joins Free Palestine Protest In New York, Says Nigerians Stand With Palestinians
Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has joined a Free Palestine protest in New York, where he spoke out over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In a post shared on his X page, Sowore said he joined the demonstration to make clear that Nigerians stand for justice and human rights for Palestinians. He also condemned what he described as genocide being committed by the State of Israel in Gaza and echoed the protesters’ call: “No justice, no peace!”
The demonstration comes amid continued international attention on the Gaza conflict, with protesters in New York calling for justice and greater protection of Palestinian civilians.

Evaress: I swear i can measure 7 cups of rice and finish it in just one day and i can't still add one pound of flesh. Someone who sees me will think i'm not eating well but thats the reverse case.
This is how i eat; Because i work remotely so i'm always indoors. When i finish cooking like 11am in the Morning, i dish out the food in my plate, a huge portion. After eating that, i rest for like 30min then i go back to the Pot to dish out another portion again. After eating the second time, i rest again for like 2 hours then i go back to dish out a third portion again. Before its 6pm,the food has almost finished and i still crave for more.
Why do i eat like this? Could it be caused by boredom and idleness? Its making me spend a lot on food. 7 cups no fit last me for 2 days again. .
Funny thing is when a guy takes me out, i go just dey form. Order very small light meal. The guy will be like "will that be enough for you? Its too small na".
Bluntguy: Those who are blocking their senior colleagues from making their angst known to the military authorities will one day go to protest their own bad treatment. That is the day they will receive their own payback.
Biodun556: Nigeria: Recognized Universities Increase to 309 as FG Approves 33 New Institutions
Posted on August 5, 2026 by Biodun Emmanuel
Nigeria’s higher education sector has expanded significantly following the approval of 33 new universities by the National Universities Commission (NUC), bringing the total number of licensed universities in the country to 309.
The newly approved institutions comprise seven federal universities, six state-owned universities, and 20 private universities. The expansion is aimed at increasing access to tertiary education, addressing admission shortages, and promoting specialized learning across the country’s geopolitical zones.
The seven new federal universities are:
– Federal University of Environment and Technology, Ogoni (Rivers State)
– Federal University of Agriculture and Development Studies, Iragbiji (Osun State)
– Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences, Iyin Ekiti (Ekiti State)
– Federal University of Health Sciences, Kachia (Kaduna State)
– Federal University of Education, Osiele (Ogun State)
– Federal University of Science and Technology, Eruwa (Oyo State)
– Federal University of Health Sciences, Tsafe (Zamfara State)
The six newly established state universities are:
– Abdulsalam Abubakar University of Agriculture and Climate Action, Mokwa (Niger State)
– Benue State University of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Ihugh
– Cross River University of Education and Entrepreneurship, Akamkpa
– Ebonyi State University of ICT, Science and Technology, Oferekpe
– University of Aeronautics and Aerospace Engineering, Ezza (Ebonyi State)
– University of Innovation, Science and Technology, Omuma (Imo State)
The 20 newly licensed private universities include:
– Leadership University, Abuja
– Jimoh Babalola University, Ilorin
– Bridget University, Mbaise
– Greenland University, Jalingo
– JEFAP University, Suleja
– Azione Verde University, Amaigbo
– Unique Open University, Ojo
– American Open University, Abeokuta
– Tazkiyah University, Kaduna
– Lens University, Ilemona
– Kevin Eze University, Mgbowo
– Southern Atlantic University, Uyo

– Isaac Balami University of Aeronautics and Management, Lagos
– Monarch University, Iyesi-Ota
– Tonnie Iredia University of Communication, Benin City
– City University, Ayetoro
– New City University, Ayetoro
The expansion comes amid growing demand for university education in Nigeria, where hundreds of thousands of qualified candidates fail to secure admission each year due to limited spaces in existing institutions.
While stakeholders have welcomed the increase in the number of universities, education experts stress that expanding access must be accompanied by sustained investment in infrastructure, funding, research, academic staffing, and quality assurance. They caution that without addressing these longstanding challenges, the proliferation of institutions may not necessarily lead to better educational outcomes.
With 309 licensed universities, Nigeria now boasts one of Africa’s largest higher education systems. However, analysts argue that the true measure of success will depend on the ability of both new and existing institutions to produce graduates equipped with the knowledge, practical skills, and innovative capacity needed to support national development and economic growth.
The Federal Government said the approval of the new federal, state, and private universities is intended to create more admission opportunities and improve access to quality higher education nationwide.
In addition, the NUC approved 879 new academic programmes under the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS). The reforms introduce a 70:30 curriculum structure, with 70 percent dedicated to nationally prescribed core content and 30 percent allowing institutions to develop programmes that reflect their unique strengths and priorities.
The updated curriculum also places greater emphasis on digital literacy, entrepreneurship, innovation, and emerging fields such as aeronautics, environmental studies, and health sciences to better prepare graduates for the demands of a rapidly evolving global economy.

There is already a road from Lagos to Calabar; if the road is poor, fix it. There are some expenditures we make that do not reflect the realities of our circumstances. The amount spent on that road could be better spent providing electricity or upgrading the healthcare system.
