Pre-signed resignation letter Oh mehn there is fire on the mountain! Nigerians need to rise up and fight this impunity!

Mirasteel:
What about your baby mama? she's beautiful. why didn't you marry her?

The truth is that you don't know what you want.

Many at times it's he who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. She might be beautiful and portray a wonderful character in public for public praise but you don't know the devilish attitudes the man has to endure in the privacy of their home.

FitCorper:
This is proof that as a man you need to work on yourself, else no woman go reason u for marriage material.

Why do you talk like the woman is the prize? It's quite shameful reasoning coming from a man. Why should a man level up to meet a woman's standards when it should be the reverse. A man picks a woman whom he feels comfortable with and who meets his standards for a wife, not him trying to level up himself so a woman can find him worthy and choose him. That's despicable.

Who should go first at these intersections in both first and second pics? In what order should these cars go and why?

There is nothing wrong with education. The problem is the funding model for our universities. We have over 140 public universities in Nigeria where students don’t pay tuition fees and you guys expect lecturers to be paid salaries. Just this weekend, a post by a student complaining of N125k fees for school logistics went viral on social media.

We want the best of everything and we don’t want to pay for it. A standard private secondary school in Abuja charges nothing less than N1.5m in a year but somehow, we want to pay N20,000 per year for university education and we don’t want lecturers to sleep in offices. Okay now, make all of us dey play.

Your reasoning here is too shallow and warped. Even before subsidy removal, lecturers pay was abysmal. Tinubu came in, removed subsidy and cost of goods and services including housing more than quadrupled. Yet there was no equivalent increase in remuneration for the lecturers. In other words, they were sent deeper into poverty. Even the expected benefits of subsidy removal are not being seen and corruption has reached new high levels in the country, people even now do it openly. Funny enough, the take home pay of politicians has more than doubled. So don't bring in the students don't pay fees excuse shit. In so many countries, even tertiary education is subsidized. And in those countries that it is not subsidized, the income per hour of the citizens are very high that they can comfortably afford it. I hate it when people just come into this platform and start spewing rubbish without proper knowledge and understanding.

So of all the men in Nigeria it's Otedola's son she choose to shoot her shot and still claimed she's not coming for the bag. Yeye de smell.

It's just a matter of context 😂😂😂

Guyman02:
I blame Nigerians who like making Stewpid people famous, even the person that pushed this to FP could be one of these categories of Nigerians

God bless you. They unnecessarily make very irrelevant people look relevant.

What do you expect from a house and senate that are majority Republican. Wait until midterm elections this November and watch the script flip as more Democrats would be elected to Congress to topple Republican majority. Then, Trump would no longer have such autonomous powers he wields now

Enugurangers:
Crude oil is traded.
When oil price goes up globally, extration booms locally, but refineries still have to pay global market prices for that crude oil. The cost is passed down to final consumers at the gas station.

Okay thanks. So that means NNPCL and affiliates sell to Dangote at international rates

chopnaira:
It is expected. The war in Iran

I don't understand why it should go up. Please explain.
I mean we produce our crude and sell to other countries meaning we should gain more dollars with the crude oil price increase. Secondly, we now largely refine our own crude meaning importation is at its lowest. So how should crude oil price increase also result in increased fuel price here rather than the opposite effect. Please explain

yinkus6750:
Why must Iran now focus it's attack on fellow Islamic nations ?
Destroying Dubai has no effect on USA.
Trump will ensure he achieved his purpose on Iran.
UAE has been a peaceful tourist nation. It's destruction,tho will indirectly affect so many other countries. But that won't save Iran from been cleared of its terrorist activities.

The question should be why should fellow Islamic nations use their country as a military base for the US and Israel to attack Iran? I'm not a fan of Iran but Iran is doing what any normal country, including the US and Israel, would have done if faced with such situation. Russia and China would have done fat worse and wouldn't tolerate such military base shit against their countries. It's a betrayal from fellow Islamic countries against Iran

I'm not a fan of Iran but I strongly support what they did to these other Arab countries. When these countries allowed their countries to be used by the US as launch pads to attack Iran they never thought about the catastrophe such actions will bring to the middle east? Iran has the right to defend itself from aggression including against any country that it's enemies uses to attack them. Countries like Russia or China would have obliterated these middle eastern countries that allowed the US to use them as attack bases. In fact one of the causes of the Russia Ukraine war was the fact that NATO wanted to use Ukraine as a military base subtly against Russia. That's why Russia strongly opposed Ukraine joining NATO

Medical professionals have long argued that medical fellowships should be equivalent to a PhD in the academic environment.

The Nigerian government has approved an amendment that will enable medical professionals to use medical fellowships as an equivalent of a PhD for academic promotion and progression.

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, disclosed this on Wednesday after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) presided over by President Bola Tinubu.
Mr Alausa said the amendments to the National Postgraduate Medical College Act were reviewed and approved by the executive council.

It is expected that the proposed changes will be sent to the National Assembly for amendment to the law.

The PhD/Medical Fellowships Row

Medical professionals have long argued that medical fellowships should be equivalent to a PhD in the academic environment.

They argued that the content of a medical fellowship from the National Medical College of Nigeria (NPMCN), West African Postgraduate Medical College (WAPMC) or other recognised foreign postgraduate medical colleges was already rich in depth and research.
The Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria (MDCAN) and the National Universities Commission (NUC), which regulates university education, resolved in 2020 that a PhD is not a compulsory qualification requirement for the career progression of clinical consultants.

According to the agreement, the non- possession of a PhD will not hinder clinical lecturers from being promoted from one rank to another up to the level of Professor in the Nigerian University system.

However, MDCAN still alleges discrimination against medical professionals with medical fellowships and without a PhD, especially during the recruitment of university vice-chancellors, which usually requires a PhD.

Can someone please explain how crude oil price increase because of this war will cause a sharp rise in petrol costs for Nigeria. Doesn't sound logical. It should be the reverse. I mean we produce our crude and sell these to foreigners. So a price increase will expectedly bring in more dollar revenue for the country. Additionally, we mostly refine our own crude oil into petrol, meaning we bypass countries who buy these crude at higher prices and want to sell the refined product to us at higher prices correspondingly. So if these follow, it means Nigeria should rather benefit from the sharp increase in crude oil price rather than suffer from it. Unless there's something I am missing out

garykoeman:
Tinubu can feed the whole anambra state.

Again, with who's money? Money he stole from Lagos state people, from you and from Nigerians? And money he's still actively stealing from you and your family even as you read this.

Sugarboyy:
The Tinubu that you insults, can't he feed your father, mother and generation yet unborn? Infact can't he feed Obi's father, mother and generation?

With who's money? Money he stole and is still stealing from same Nigerians?
I really don't know how low some of you Nigerians reason. A man steals your money and that of your family, your sweat, and then comes out to boast to you and your family that he can feed them and their generations (obviously using the same money he stole from you) and you start hailing him. That's the kinda extremely low mentality we see in most Nigerians today.

I have a feeling he might just allow opposition parties win this one just to keep their mind at ease and make them think or give them false hope that the electoral law he signed is actually a good thing and would help reduce electoral malpractice. But during the 2027 elections that's when he'd use it to show them shege.

Building a structure like this is not a problem. It is another thing to equip it with facilities and employ capable hands to run the place. These are the real issues because these require RECURRENT heavy financial commitments to keep the place running.

You know what my grand ma told me one day?
She said there was a time in this Nigeria were any woman seen putting on trousers, she will be tagged ashawo.

You can't fight certain change and succeed

The world may change but God doesn't change his principles or precepts. He is immutable. The change you see in the world only reflects the moral decadence that has eaten gradually into it, not that God has changed to accommodate such changes. Such decadence will continue until the rapture.

This is an honest question, not an insult or shade. Why Do Many Nigerians See Travelling “Abroad” as an Achievement, While Other Africans Don’t?Why is it that in Nigeria, travelling abroad is often treated as a major life achievement, while in many other African countries it is seen as something quite ordinary—sometimes just for holidays, work, or short-term exposure?

I ask this because I have Rwandan and Kenyan friends, and the contrast is striking. Many of them genuinely can’t wait to return home after studying or working abroad. To them, “abroad” is not the ultimate destination. Home is. Some even find it strange that Nigerians celebrate travelling out of the country so loudly, as if it automatically equals success.

Meanwhile in Nigeria, the moment you hear that someone has travelled abroad, it is often spoken of with pride. Families announce it like a major milestone, and people are sometimes respected simply for having left the country, even when nothing tangible has changed in their lives. In many cases, the destination itself does not even seem to matter—as long as it is not Nigeria.

In contrast, many East African countries tend to view foreign travel as normal exposure rather than a status symbol. There is a strong emotional and economic investment in home, and success is often measured more by impact, stability, and contribution to society than by physical relocation.

This raises some important questions. Is this mindset a result of how badly Nigeria’s system has failed, such that leaving now feels more like an escape than ordinary movement? Could it be tied to a lingering colonial mentality where “foreign” is subconsciously equated with “better”? Or is it driven by harsh economic realities such as unemployment, insecurity, and a poor quality of life that make life abroad seem like the ultimate goal? Perhaps it is also a product of social conditioning and a validation-seeking culture, where travelling abroad has become one of the few visible markers of “progress.”

Why, then, do Nigerians often aspire so strongly to leave, while people from other African countries aspire just as strongly to return home?

I would genuinely love to hear thoughtful opinions—especially from Nigerians who have lived abroad and from Africans from other countries who have observed this difference.

Chelsea are not playing like a team that is 3-2 down on aggregate. I can't see that aggression to score and level up. Arsenal look like the more likely side to score.

This narrative is only one sided. All you have said in this article are only the demands Kwankwaso made. You never told us what the presidency were willing to offer him since it was a negotiation. That way I can draw a conclusion on whether Kwankwaso messed up or not. I believe even with Kwankwaso's demands, if the presidency had made him a good offer he'd probably have accepted. So tell us, what exactly was the presidency willing to offer him which he allegedly rejected? That will make for a more balanced analysis. But just giving a one sided detail makes this article look more like a propaganda.

Its not about population size. Nigeria's electricity problems have not always been about production as much as distribution. That's where the problem with Nigeria lies.

Probably had pulmonary embolism. It's usually very common on long haul flights especially in elderly people at risk of deep venous thrombosis. And most cases of deep venous thrombosis do not show warning signs like leg swelling or leg pain before causing embolism.

chrisxxx:
YOU ARE NOT FROM THE DOT STATE. YOUR WISDOM IS TOPNOTCH. THIS IS WHAT I AM TELLING THOSE JUBILATING. THOSE HANDLING FUBARA SHOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY TO APPROACH THE HOUSE TO PASS THE BUDGET FOR HIM. FUBARA NOT BEING SMART WOULD HAVE REQUESTED FOR THIS DURING THE LAST PEACE SETTLEMENT.

You're talking like we have a free and fair justice system in the same courts. These courts are controlled by someone obviously. The president is obviously on the side of fubara from recent happenings. These courts would not want to side with wike against the wishes of the president who can remove them whether scrupulously or unscrupulously. The case of Buhari removing justice onoghen comes to mind

aworatak:
The problem with this scenario you painted is that even if the panel constituted by the CJ finds Fubara not guilty of gross misconduct, the house would still proceed with the impeachment. The reason is because the constitution is silent on this issue. Example is the case of Yahaya Bello and his then deputy Achuba where despite the report of the panel of enquiry absolving the then deputy governor Simon Achuba of gross misconduct, the house of assembly still proceeded with his impeachment.
It’s best the Cj doesn’t set up any panel.

The constitution is not silent on this issue. The constitution clearly states that if the panel finds a governor not guilty, the impeachment process is terminated immediately and permanently, and no further action can be taken by the house. Section 188/189 of the constitution.

With the ongoing impeachment back-and-forth involving the Rivers State Governor, many Nigerians are asking what the law actually says and where the courts fit into the process. Beyond political statements and counter-statements, impeachment of a sitting Governor is governed strictly by Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Below is how the process works, step by step.

Step 1: Initiation of Allegation
The impeachment process begins with a written notice of allegation of gross misconduct. This notice must be prepared and signed by not less than one-third of the total membership of the State House of Assembly. The Constitution requires that the notice clearly state the specific particulars of the alleged gross misconduct. No person or body outside the House of Assembly has the constitutional authority to initiate impeachment proceedings against a Governor.

Step 2: Presentation and Service of the Notice
Once the notice of allegation is ready, it must be presented to the Speaker of the House of Assembly. Upon receipt, the Speaker is constitutionally obligated, within seven days, to cause the notice to be served on the Governor and to ensure that copies are served on every member of the House. Proper service of the notice is a mandatory requirement, and failure to comply with this step renders the entire process invalid.

Step 3: Resolution to Investigate
After the notice has been served, the House of Assembly must decide whether the allegation should be investigated. The Constitution provides that within fourteen days of the notice being presented to the Speaker, the House must pass a resolution on whether to investigate the allegation. This resolution must be supported by not less than two-thirds of the entire membership of the House. If the required majority is not achieved, the impeachment process comes to an immediate end.

Step 4: Notification of the Chief Judge
Where the House validly passes the two-thirds resolution to investigate, the next step is for the Speaker of the House to formally notify the Chief Judge of the State of the resolution. The House itself does not appoint investigators and cannot bypass the Chief Judge in this process. The Constitution assigns this role exclusively to the Chief Judge.

Step 5: Constitution of the Investigation Panel
Upon receiving the notification from the Speaker, the Chief Judge is required, within seven days, to constitute an investigation panel of seven persons. The Constitution stipulates that these persons must be of unquestionable integrity and must not be members of any public service, legislative house, or political office. The panel is independent and not subject to the control of the House or the Governor.

Step 6: Investigation and Right of Defence
The investigation panel proceeds to examine the allegations of gross misconduct. During this stage, the Governor has the constitutional right to defend himself, either personally or through legal practitioners of his choice. The panel must conduct its investigation fairly and must submit its report to the House of Assembly within three months.

Step 7: Consideration of the Panel’s Report
After receiving the panel’s report, the House of Assembly considers its findings. If the panel reports that the allegations have not been proved, the Constitution expressly forbids the House from taking any further action on the matter, and the impeachment process ends permanently. If, however, the panel reports that the allegations have been proved, the House proceeds to the final stage.

Step 8: Final Vote and Removal
Where the panel’s report finds the allegation proved, the House of Assembly votes on whether to adopt the report. A two-thirds majority of the entire membership of the House is required for the Governor to be removed from office. Once this resolution is passed, the Governor is removed immediately, and no further confirmation or ceremony is required.

Role of the Courts
Although impeachment is fundamentally a legislative process, Nigerian courts play a crucial supervisory role. Courts do not initiate impeachment and do not replace the House of Assembly. However, the courts have the constitutional power to review compliance with Section 188.
Importantly, courts can intervene before or during the process where there is clear evidence of constitutional breaches. This includes situations where the required one-third notice was not validly signed, where service of the notice was defective, where the two-thirds resolution was not properly achieved, or where the House acted in clear violation of fair-hearing requirements.
On the specific question of the Chief Judge, courts can restrain a Chief Judge from constituting an impeachment panel where it is shown that the constitutional preconditions for his involvement have not been met. If there was no valid two-thirds resolution, or if the process leading to the request was unconstitutional, a court may issue an injunction preventing the Chief Judge from acting on an invalid request. In such circumstances, the Chief Judge is not expected to proceed in defiance of a subsisting court order.
That said, where the House has strictly complied with Section 188 and no court order exists, the Chief Judge has a constitutional duty to constitute the panel, and courts will not interfere merely because the process is politically controversial.

HarunaWest:
How can USA be isolated? Who will isolate the USA? A country where the whole world is forced to use their currency for transactions?. Trump has realized that the world needs USA more than USA needs the world.

Before the US withdrew, dedollarization had already begun in many countries. This isolation would further worsen it and cede power to their enemies Russia and China. Many countries are now drifting off to Russia and China including the US neighbours Canada and Mexico. They're now shifting towards BRICS. Trump is messing up big time
