Isanlu-isin..............that forested area is on a direct path to Pategi and on towards Bidda in Niger state..............How did these people traverse such a long distance between their camps and strongholds in Niger state to Isanlu_isin....which is near the Kwara/osun border? This fact suggest they operate from isolated cells................this is typical of the way islamic jihadi terrorists operate in Nigeria..........they do hit and run operations from their cells but they use terror to paralyse areas they do not control!
Osun state is said to have a lot of gold deposits..............are they after the GOLD?? A lot of the insecurity in Nigeria is funded by external forces aided by greedy local politicians and security agents!
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has been confronted by a woman who expressed deep concern about the worsening bandit attacks in Kwara State.
A certain Igbo agitator now in DSS custody did mention the badly hidden Fulani agenda but trust dumb Nigerians.........they allowed tribal sentiments to cloud their sense of judgment! Talk about allowing your belly to over rule your brain.........till tomorrow morning ronu ppl still believe the euro funded jihadism is a myth.......make una hold MNK well o...whilst fulanis put you to the knife...ndihelinues
helinues: Squeezing face don get meaning be that. This bitter opposition supporters self. Is it today Reno has been eating Amala
He actually prefers akpu and Oha soup.......the way the other ronu hypocrites fani kayode lusts over every fair complexioned Igbo babe.........criticism Igbo by day...fraternize with dem at night...ndi mgbu
Ttalk: It is high time the government of Lagos State take decisive action against persistent intrusion into the governance of Lagos state with Obi's penchant for whipping up tribal sentiment in other region especially in Lagos State but turned blind eyes to similar occurrence in SE.
The recent demolition of some illegal structures by the state government at Trade Fair Complex in Lagos has now turned to tribal game with Obi and his tribal brothers playing the tribal card.
How can a presidential aspirant close his mouth when Soludo displaced over 4000 traders and demolished over 2000 properties in Anambra only to regain his voices because similar exercises was carried out in other region?
Recently, the governor of Benue state stopped Peter Obi from causing disharmony at the IDP camp in Benue in the guise of sympathizing with the displaced refugees just the same way the Governor of Edo state stopped Obi from any unnecessary and uninvited visitation to Edo state, why is Sanwo Olu looking the other way round when the state government is already aware of the sinister intentions of Peter Obi each time he visit Lagos State?
In as much as freedom of movement is guaranteed, such right should not be abuse or allowed to go unchecked especially when it is glaring that the motive is to propagate the agenda of division and tribalism.
Kukum declare oduduwa republic cos APC Lagos is doing way too much! Patience is not stupidity nor cowardice..............what exactly is the civil service in Lagos for?
They sit in their offices and do nothing whilst people complete their so called unapproved buildings...only to wake up one morning and render people destitute.......Lagos is doing way too much ......
Richtaiwo: Alaba Rago, a market dominated by Northerners, was demolished few weeks ago, no one has been heard crying foul.
Over 2000 shops were demolished in Anambra few months ago, no one raised an eyebrow.
Some things are just damn irritating.
Where did Anambra state demolish 2000 shops mumu man! Anambra stste demolished buildings built on the right of way of atate and fg roads! The buildings at the trade fair ostensibly had federal misitry of works approval! Its left to lagos and Fg to reconcile their powers of supervision! My worry about the plazas is that some look structurally defective but to willfuly damage and destroy the hardwork of innocent businessmen is borderline satanic!
abuzz33: Lagos is a sthtty city. No drainage, overpopulated, unplanned. Lagos is an island of wealth in a sea of poverty. The census fashola did in 2010 found 70% of Lagosians did not have plumbing.
Lagos is nobody's competition. Benin Republic built a port and runs it better than Lagos. Ogun built industrial layouts, industries abandoned Lagos.
Nothing stops any state from distributing or manufacturing. Its not about building inland ports but the infrastructure for distribution which is roads, rail, warehouses and trailer parks. Chicago is the logistics center of USA and it's inland but has everything but seaport.
I am sick of my fellow igbos whining while our governors do nothing. Anambra has invested little or nothing in industrialization. Not power, not water, not trailer parks, not planned industrial areas. Ogun has three or four industrial layouts with gas supply. We rely on the ancient and tiny harbor industrial layout whose entry road is narrow and packed with trailers. We don't have serious governors.
Nigeria as a whole is full of stupd leaders. Just travel round Africa you will not see mediocrity like Nigeria. When they build cities it looks like cities not village extensions. Go look at Dar Es Salaam, Nairobi, Dakar, Abidjan and contrast with the low IQ Nigerian politician who only Sabi Lexus jeep and expensive clothes.
You don win!.......am trying hard to be optimistic but one thing is for sure, Anambra can do way better than what we have on ground , considering the amount of money available to Soludo! Its not really graft all the time, there is also the question of competence and capacity, Nicholas ukachukwu and hajiya Ekwunife will be 1000 times worse.................i hope it gets better for Soludo!
SolaOmoniyi: Former presidential aide Reno Omokri argues that Nigerians often overlook the country’s progress in education, economy, energy, and inflation, insisting that “Nigeria happening” also means positive developments.
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has called on Nigerians to acknowledge the progress being made across several sectors of the country instead of attributing national identity only to negative outcomes.
Omokri, in a statement on Monday, said the phrase “Nigeria has happened to me” is often used to describe setbacks, while the many positive developments in the country are overlooked.
According to him, Nigeria is experiencing measurable improvements in education, the economy, electricity supply, inflation, and fuel exports.
Omokri disclosed that more than 600,000 Nigerians have benefited from student loans provided by the federal government to enable them pursue higher education. He described the initiative as one of the most impactful social policies under the current administration.
He noted that Nigeria’s inflation rate dropped to 20.12% in August 2025, from 21.88% in July, reflecting a gradual decline in food prices across the country. He contrasted this progress with Argentina’s worsening economic situation, adding that several other countries are struggling to manage inflation.
Omokri also pointed to progress in the energy sector, stating that Nigeria recently achieved its highest-ever electricity generation output, with a peak of 5,801.84 megawatts and a maximum daily output of 128,370.75 megawatt-hours (MWh).
He explained that Nigeria has moved from being Africa’s largest petrol importer in 2023 to becoming the leading exporter of refined petroleum products in West Africa, a shift that has contributed to more stable fuel prices locally.
greatiyk4u: This is emotional and at the time painful as this is the Arise TV journalist that was murdered by armed Robbers in Abuja
Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE News family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.
May her soul continue to rest in the Lord.
The devil is amongst us...he knows he has but a short time...he is full of resentment and fury! ....again I warn...the world is in a flux...Ndigbo come back home or stay close to oue beloved homeland. I plead with all my people!
Saturnalia: No! No! No! No! Please, do not misrepresent facts here because of your hatred for Tinubu and the APC.
When we were warning your people to desist from promoting & praising the UGM & iPOB in your region about 5 to 7years years ago, your people thought they were hurting Buhari & Nigeria as a whole.
Now, that their Christmas Chickens have come home to roost, do not heap the blames on anybody or Government but yourselves.
This is one thing that the Yorubas do not condone. If any criminal outfit emerges in Yorubaland under any guise whatsoever, and starts killing our people in the name of fighting the Government or demanding secession, I trust my Peope, we will mobilize our Vigilantes & Hunters to route them to the beyond even before the Government intervenes.
If any group feels marginalized or victimized, and wants to fight the Government, no problem, they all know the road to Abuja and Asorock, just do not kill innocent civilians in our land, else, even if your cause is justified, we will turn against you and everything you stand for.
As always, Ancient wisdom teaches us that action begets reaction, cause begets effect & sequence begets consequence.
meanwhile fulanis are playing set and monkey post with your baale's beheaded skull in kwara state! is it not in Abuja that fulani hordes of bandits are kidnapping and robbing whole streets! All these ones are political thugs ...!
SpecialAdviser: Everyday i read this kind of news, my love for you increases nwa Chineke
The blackman especially the type we find in sadwest of Nigeria is a mystery to me! You want to exchange the residency of hardworking Igbo people for the "domination' of sahelian bandits and terrorists ! I cannot wait to see how all this pans out!
Ndi yoruba will look back with fond memories and regret to the time in the distant past when Igbos were doing their stuff in Lagos............fulanis will hold yorubas in a terrorific warm embrace if they do not retrace their steps!
mumu ppl........you sold an Alsatian dog to buy a wild baboon......make it make sense!
abuzz33: We need to stop whining and complaining before it becomes the mark of the igbo race.
The reality is that since 1999 Anambra has received over 2.5 trillion in FAAC allocation and over 500 billion in IGR. So funds have been there for development.
Soludo now rounding up his first term has received over 450 billion naira between 2022-2024 and a further 150 billion from Jan - Jun 2025. That is 600 billion in three years plus and that is more than enough to transform the state beyond just building roads, installing street lights and building govt house and an amusement park.
Anambra needs real transformation like manufacturing and the government should create the enabling environment. Let foreign investors design industrial layouts not government architects. Lagos Free Trade Zone is being developed by Tolaram a multinational not LASG and it reflects the brainpower.
Anambra should also clean up its cities and make them attractive. Dirty open air markets lined with wooden stalls and barrows and keke riding recklessly is not progress but backwardness. I await the day the state govt puts proper public bus system in place and regulates markets properly.
Until then showing pictures of Emeka Anyaoku Boulevard hides the monstrous chaos of Eke Awka in Awka and Ochanja in Onitsha only for the ignorant.
The only person whining here is YOU ! Lagos has tremendous geostrategic advantages over Anambra state...that is why YOU live there,,,,along with the wealthiest and most educated Anambra people! Hello ! wake up and smell the coffee! Anambra has to play to its strenghts........we cannot wake up and expect to take on lagos...a former national capital, home to 20 million people and location of 4 seaports and counting........are you kidding me!
Bros ! manufacturing is good but I do not believe thats our area of absolute dominance! neither is it in agriculture! we dominate in distributive trade.......let us wring out as much benefit from that area..........from the benefits therein we can build up other sectors! Soludo's Anambra Mixed use district project is a good one but he really needs to sell that to ndi anambra, that project has a bit of what both of us are sayin..........by the way commerce and trade employs far more ndiAnambra than industries............The trade fair in lagos contains at least 30,000 stall and shops............Lagos state does not want it demolished, they want control of the market in terms of tax collection! They want to levy 100,000 naira per shop per month.....all multiplied by 30,000 shops.....DO THE MATH sir !
IGBOPROMISE1: Could you be specific on who you’re referring to by ‘proponents’!? Maybe you could proffer your own suggestions as to how to go about confronting a murderous, devious and xenophobic hegemonic cabal intent on crushing any suggestion or actual moves to effect a change to the status quo or structure of Nigeria! It’s easy to sit in the comfort of one’s air conditioned abode and lecture those brave enough to place themselves in harms way by confronting the hegemonic demons holding all of us to ransom…..and slavery by default!
IPOB started and went about their bid for secession in a peaceful and non-combative manner! IT WAS THE EVIL BUHARI GOV’T THAT STARTED THE VIOLENCE AND BLOODLETTING, and IPOB had no other option but to defend themselves!
The other side to the argument is the influx of murderous sahelian scumbags into the south-east! They brought to the region kidnapping and mass murder of men, women and children on a scale not seen since the 1967-70 war! Note also that the period this insecurity commenced in the south-east coincided with the arrival of Buhari and his APC goons in 2015! The south-east governors were either unwilling or unable to confront this evil, despite the strident calls by the likes of Mazi Kanu that they and the federal gov’t either put a stop to the imported madness or IPOB would be forced to form a armed vigilante force to do the job the federal and state gov’ts weren’t doing! And the rest as they say is history!
I do not blame mazi nnamdi kanu but the structure he left behind nearly messed up his legacy! My own is that succession is important in whatever we do................capable deputies are important! iPOB was filled with moles and spies! Anyway, we all have learnt from the experience! we will do better going forward ! The unify igbo movement is a pointer on the way forward........that one has immediate socioeconomic consequences! we will talk about this later!
abuzz33: Which neighboring countries? Benin Republic uses 115m litres per month. Togo uses 24m.
Fact is that petrol demand is correlated to economic activity and wealth. Lagos is as small as Anambra but uses many times more because of economic activity.
We should not make excuses and look for how to grow the economy to be more sophisticated and advanced.
Every indicator whether its power, telecommunications says that we are smaller economically than the likes of Ogun, Oyo, Kano, Kaduna, Delta, Rivers and FCT.
I keep saying we need to have people in government with strategic mindset. The state needs big business and industrialization not people lining along major markets selling garri and bread.
If you know the amount of petrol that leaves nigeria,,,,,you will not make that assertion! Comparing lagos to southeast is absurd........where do you begin to make the comparisons! You cannot build anything on nothing...............no matter how lofty your industrializtion dreams maybe ....the foundation for a solid take off of industry is wobbly at best............building it will take a lot of time, whilst waiting to improve power and transport infrastructure ....let us go after the low hanging fruits!
Enugu has started with tourism and lifestyle as their unique selling point..............Abia is doing a lot with low intesity industries based on Geometric power...........Even perpetual laggards and arguably the richest Igbo state Imo....is pushing power and oil and gas and of course their oringo tourism...........What is the unique selling point of anambra as a state? I have said it that we can grow our tax pot by growing our economy immediately by pushing our strength in commerce,Logistics ( ware housing and distribution) and also medical tourism and pharmaceuticals!
Soludo should pursue his AMIC dream with gusto and detail...we need more info on what the AMIC is all about! As for medical tourism ....we already have some of the best trained medical doctors in africa.......some of the best equipped hospitals, A new hospital in Ojoto to be set up by Anambra US based doctors............Its a pity soludo was not present at any of the heart surgeries done by VOOM and Okwuosa foundations........the foundations carry out more than 50% of open heart surgeries done in the nation today!
abuzz33: What should this tell anambra government policymakers? 40m litres means Anambra accounts for less than 3% of national petrol demand. Yet they want to build railway. Lol.
Anambra needs to develop its economy and its not with wheelbarrow, keke and shuttle. A lot more industries are needed.
Southwest shares boundaries with neighbouring countries...........the downstream oil sector is very opaque......data is not reliable in my opinion, However there is no doubt insecurity has taken a toll on the southeast! The biafra agitation was mishandled by the proponents and opponents but socioeconomic activity is picking up in earnest! Aside all of the above...the southeast is geographically tiny compared to the other regions....so our pms use has to be less!
Truth is Allen Onyema is not the sole owner of Air Peace.....if you know, you know! ............. The other key shareholder and political stakeholders may have overruled him! The same political overlords that have suppressed the development of Enugu as a key regional International aviation hub! I do not know why Ndigbo are so naive sometimes! I like Governor Patrick Mba........he is a cunning and slippery politician.......he is stooping to conquer................but he is developing Enugu as a key city ''in plain sight" ! ....................what gragra cannot get you a bit of sophistry may suffice!
SadiqBabaSani: Common things even in third world countries, it appears you never traveled outside Nigeria
Tanzania just launched an electric powered bullet train that zooms between Dar es salaam and Dodoma..........a distance of 460km away.........Nigerian shame dey shame me!
That is a similar distance as Lagos to near Onitsha...........make una dey play
WesleyPepper: The aim of these Fulani terrorists cum boko jihadists is ultimately Yorubaland and we are getting prepared for them as well . All these funny terrorists Boko/Fulani and ipob are not happy with the relative peace here . It’s good after all . The final Nigerian question is about to be answered . Kwara North is just a stone throw from Yorubaland . I’m curious the towel heads in Ilorin are quiet. Who knows even if the folks in the palace are supporting these terrorists?? These onslaughts are aimed at discouraging the renewed nationalist fervor currently sweeping over rhe Kwara hinterland .
Ps: I thought the NIS boss is even from that side . Is he sleeping on duty
if you like put IPOB ......if you like do not ! The bandits have moved into yoruba territory! continue to jack off on IPOB news whilst the bandits build a solid outposts to launch further attacks into oyo state and ondo stste!
Ttalk: Same MNK that said Lagos state should be burned down, this people can joke too much, now is the time to know Nigeria is not a zoo
Rather than release MNK all bandits and BH should be prosecuted and sentences. Nigeria should stop romancing killers
Liberty and freedom means nothing to the typical agbado misfit! So soldiers should just shoot and kill innocent protesters..........that's the cowardly spirit that emboldened fulani banditry and kidnapping!
Putindbutt: Joblessness, efforts in futility. Do Deji, Sowore, Effiong, think they're are messing with Obi who easily chicken out at any challenge. So far, these clowns have not provided a single proof of money laundering against either Wike or his Wife, none!. Sowore has no training in investigative journalism, he's only collecting free money from Ford Foundation for scamming them. By now, I expect Sowore to have flooded the internet with undisputable account details through which Wike or his Wife used to wire these monies abroad to purchase those properties, would have provided us the names of the banks either in Nigeria or in the US where the money was routed. But brrrrh, this clown is only feeding those people who love swallowing up every junks thrown at them without thinking. They have been celebrating nonsense thinking Wike has fallen into their trap. What a joke you are. I could remember, this same Sowore posted a picture of Kenyamo's penthouse in the UK and started making all kind of noise but atlas, what happened?, he was shut up. He will come online with his fake Sahara desert to say, Wike was on a wheelchair, his hands were shaking, couldn't walk, blablabla, then the next minute, we saw Wike granting TV interviews and receiving guests in Abuja. In another fake news, he said Wike was on an emergency admission for heart failure in the UK and then boom, that same week, Wike was in Abuja flagging off projects. Tinubu had gone to France for medical treatment, then we saw Mr President being hosted to dinner by Macron. So many fake news he cooks in his bedroom and then pass it off to Obidients who obviously celebrate any of such fake news until the day he attacks Obi and then, Obidents turn around fighting back, allegiing he has been paid by Tinubu to attack Obi.
Tinubu has sold the FCT post to Kwankwanso! 2027 elections will be epic! Wike should go and get ADC application form!
mecuries: Someone said our Nigerian robot imitator Jarvis could have been in the mix, but instead, she's following a Tik toker up and down
It's not late . ....she can Copyright an Ai image of herself...using the AI brand that made her! Unique selling point being that we all know she is real..........she needs to learn AI
owobokiri: Nigeria and Cameroon give you a typical case in political studies, where loyalties to ethnic/regional politics help in an overwhelming way to undermine the peoples abilities to make any sort of revolutionary changes towards the leaderships of their countries..
The problem with Cameroon is not necessarily Biya. The problem is the regional confrontations between the English speaking parts of Cameroon and the French speaking parts of the same country. The differences between these two groups have stiffened overtime, and have now taken a life of its own. A war is ongoing...
When the English speaking John Fru Ndi came close to chasing out Biya, it was the francophone speakers that felt slighted. They would rather stick with a totally kwarupt Biya, than to go for the English speaking Ndi who came with all sorts of revolutionary targets. In the end, Biya blatantly rigged the elections on the back of the support from his fellow French speakers and responded to the political scare of nearly loosing a presidential elections by entrenching a more pronounced divide between the English speakers and their fellow country men the French speakers.
Change french with Yoruba and English with igbo and you have the same scenario in Nigeria. That is the same. Corrupt officials getting away with vicious kleptomania simply because they're perennially assured of ethnic support every elections cycle. Flawed presidential elections being praised by ethnic jingoists simply because such charade guarantees the presence of someone close to them at the seat of power.. Two neighbours, One waahaalaa..
If an Igbo man ever gets into Aso Rock...there will be mass suicide in some parts of Nigeria! Meanwhile an Igbo presidency may just be what will make Nigeria prosper
DeLaRue: While Mr Tinubu's administration has successfully stabilised Nigeria's economy and the roll off of positive economic news is now a weekly, and in some cases, daily event, Argentina's economy is collapsing, the same Argentina that Mr Atiku was citing as an example of economic reforms and progress less than a year ago.
I also remember several of Mr Obi's supporters hailing the Argentinian president Mr Millie and holding him as an example of a 'good' leader, while casting Mr Tinubu as a terrible and failing one.
Argentina's economy, particularly its currency, is collapsing. Trump's America was forced to rush out news early on Monday announcing that the USA would help and support Argentina with billions of dollars to stabilise the Argentinian currency, the peso, which has more or less collapsed in the past 2 weeks.
How the tides have turned.
Nigeria and Argentina were more or less facing the same challenges as of last year, but while Nigeria has turned its economy around, Argentina's is falling into the abyss despite Mr Millies borrowing over $40 billion dollars in less than 2 years to support the Argentinian peso, yet the currency has failed.
I will continue to rate Mr Tinubu as the best President Nigeria has had since its independence, 65 years ago. Full stop.
The man literally saved us from economic armageddon from which no other country would have come to save us.
You have oil sir........Argentina does not have oil! APC has decimated our oil blessings.....at this point we have almost collateralized all our oil proceeds into the future........thank your stars for diaspora remittances too!
