Okay it is alright. Lagos belongs to the Yorubas. It's common sense. Obas of Lagos below.


Because you help your landlord plant grass and flower does not make you the owner of the house.

What if your landlord sells the house to you? Or have you not heard how people went from house ownership to tenancy? The new owner becomes the landlord and the owner of the grass and flower!

Carazon:
The Anambra state professor is not aware of this development since he is busy checking the results of his opponents in the coming election

Lagos with the oga as leader has not successfully sorted out electricity after uncountable years as the federal and commercial capital. Johannesburg that is the mate of Lagos is far ahead. Why not remove that log in your own eyes first.

Nigerians used to queue for hours to purchase petrol at petrol stations. Now Nigerians form long queues to purchase cooking gas at the gas stations. Very soon Nigerians may be queuing up to purchase charcoal and firewood. Even the good old kerosene is hardly available anymore.

He looks more like his grandfather Fela, than his father Femi. Fantastic.

For how long are we going to sit back and allow this group of people to continuously damage our country's image?

They are the same people trusted by foreign countries and nationals to trade with. You have no choice. Those from your own end are known to be lazy and live dependent lives. Mostly they depend on the accused for their living. Let me give you examples of what those you accuse do to help you and the entire country:

They sell the phones you use. They sell the TVs you watch. Without them, you would not have heard this news in the first place. They sell all the equipments in your house, including the building materials. You sell your lands to them and turn around to rent apartments from them. They are you landlords in your communities. They sell your cooking utensils. The drugs that sustain you are sold by them. Now my dear friend on Nairaland, how can you not sit back and watch. They say “if you cannot beat them, join them”!

Lifestone:
That's what makes him Victor. Without that aggression, he will be like ever other duck on the pitch

That does not make sense bro. They call is emotion. But I call it immaturity. He needs to study Lionel Messi, Ronaldo and Bukayo Saka. They are more gifted, more skilled, receive better pay, play for better clubs, calm, composed and matured.

Trump’s fast response to Hamas surprised comes a a Suprise.
However, Hamas will be tested now by actions not by words.

The TEST is simple :
Will Hamas release ALL the hostages?

Personally, I dont believe or see these Devilish creatures sticking to their Words.

Parties agreed.
Next parties will come together to sign ceasefire agreement.
Next will be implementation of ceasefire terms.

But first Israel should have stopped bombing on the instruction of President Donald Trump. So we can safely say that as of today, no gunshots, etc, in Gaza. All should happen in a matter of days.

We4all:
What if? Since the post says he owns a car, I commented based on the information that was posted. Regardless, people have lost their lives because there was no vehicle to convey them to the hospital. It cannot be everyone, but it has happened, and it is still happening to the unfortunate ones. So, don't use your weak point to defend a selfish man and his silly ways.

How did you come to the conclusion of selfishness. You took sides with the wife, without hearing the man’s side?

Toyota Corolla. That’s probably there source of income, as the man may be an UBER driver. If he keeps the key and his wife drives it to destruction, where will they feed from? Her mates wey dey take transport carry children go school no be human being sef?

mariovito:
While I appreciate the good work and give kudos to the NAF

I really want to know

Is it that a common criminal, a kidnapper is too much for the regular police, mobile police, civil defence, forest security services, DSS, hunters association, vigilante group of Nigeria and the Nigerian army to handle that they needed airstrike to get them down?

I really want to know?

Yes it is so.
When they started growing, security agencies were docile. They treated them with kid gloves. Some security agents probably accepted bribes and looked the other way. Society leaders seeing opportunities to make money illegally supported them. When it blew out of hand, it became the duty of soldiers and other members of the armed forces. The issue of far bigger than what the police, including the mobile can handle. Because they allowed the evil people to grow and get more sophisticated arms that the security agencies, hid in forests that are difficult to access, the airforce needed to mobilize to flush them out.

Remember “a stitch in time saves nine”, as they say. It was not done. Now it is beyond the control of all security agencies.

Why that ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh like that everywhere, everytime sef. So no be only area boys dey shout like that sef. Dem take ahhh, ahhh, ahhh do some people?

Very bad deal for the refinery workers.

Pengassan has death them a bad deal.

They will leave the Refinery where they had a good career path and better job prospects and go to Dangote Salt or Dangote Cement.

And surely they will be victimized in no distant time.

I wonder how Nupeng and Pengassan agreed to this.

They ended up stressing themselves and the rest of the nation. Dangote did not move an inch, I think.
Dangote was requested to absorb the sacked staff into any of his companies. One wonders why they were not requested to resume in the refinery.
PENGASSAN must as a matter of urgency desist from all acts of sabotage against Dangote.

Oakenshield:
you will just type and support but don't know anything. They major grouse of the fighting is Dangote doesn't want union in his refinery,so that he can hire and sack without recourse. Thereby paying them peanuts and careless about them

Yes, if he chooses to hire and fire, that’s his business. If anyone feels that his employments terms are not acceptable, then such person can jolly well try other places. It’s a privately owned organization and the union leaders do not have the right to shove whatever their jargons down the throat of the organization. The union leaders can go and set up their own refineries and decide what should happen there.

I wonder how some of you with little or no experience, justify or rationalize such rascality. That’s the refinery that serves the entire nation. PENGASSAN comprises of various groups who oppose the refinery and are direct competitors. They use PENGASSAN as their cover and they are largely importers, proven to want to shut down the refinery and continue their very unfair practices.

In the end, they were forced to swallow the hard and bitter pill. They bowed their faces in shame and even still found face to threaten with a renewal of their strike. In just one day, the cost of gas shot up. They forgot that they are Nigerians and their families would require public transport and gas for food. It is truly embarrassing.

owobokiri:
Watching the game last night, I will say that the Galatasary defence showed up more than that of Liverpool. They were constantly under pressure and they handled that very well. Torreira, Lemina and Gondogan were excellent. Osihmen would have added to Liverpools misery If he wasn't withdrawn deu to his injury. I still think that Galatasary will surprise a lot of people in this tournament

Liverpool dropped a little. They were not at the top of their game and Gala played better. Osimhen could have added at least one more goal with the opportunities that he had. The pressures of performance on footballers is massive. They need more time to rest, either at the end of the season, or in-between. Too many cups to fight for.

owobokiri:
Galatasary is loaded with quality upfront. They're not joking.
You have Icadi, who I think is on the same level with Harland(argue with your paycheck), you have Osihmen, then Sane and Yaldiz..
Then the midfield was bolstered with the arrival of Gondogan from Man City... Don't forget that former Arsenal man Torreira is there. Then there is Lemina that once played in the Premiership..
Defence is not that steady but Sanchez helps.
If they can fix their defence and get a serious midfield maestro to distribute some defence splitting passes, and another midfield enforcer to brutalise them stubborn attackers, that team will thrash any team in Europe for fun, anytime anywhere, anyway..

Attackers win the games, but defenders win the trophies. Liverpool is more solid that Galatasaray. Exhaustion is telling on Liverpool. They got away with Arsenal. If that game is repeated today, Arsenal will tear them to pieces. However, expect Liverpool to sweep Galatasaray away when the meet again.

You will know how far when you get to Liverpool. I am certain that Gala will be completely blown away at the Merseyside.

The monopolist should fight his battles with his likes and leave Nigerians to breathe fresh air

If that monopolist did not build a refinery, you will be on daily queues, injuring yourself and others to purchase petrol at prices dictated to you by the unions and government.

You all should learn to see the truth and embrace it. Do not allow your oppressors, in this case the unions, to keep oppressing you.

Now the young lady has been getting the attention that she has been craving for.

Traffic to her social media pages. Some money loading for her!

Anambra 2025: Ogbaru Is Labour Party — Afam Ogene Declares At Moghalu’s Rally

BY BONIFACE Okeke

The Member representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Afam Ogene, has boldly declared that “Ogbaru is Labour Party” as he led the governorship campaign train of Dr. George Moghalu to his constituency over the weekend.

Ogene, who hosted the Labour Party governorship candidate during the community-to-community tour of Ogbaru Local Government Area, said the people of Ogbaru had already demonstrated their loyalty to the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections and are ready to do so again in the forthcoming governorship contest.

According to him, only a Labour Party government at the state level can consolidate the gains already achieved by the party and guarantee equitable development for Ogbaru people.

We cannot do it alone. We need a Labour Party governor in Anambra State to consolidate the gains already achieved. Ogbaru is Labour Party,” Ogene told the mammoth crowd of supporters who trooped out in their numbers to welcome Moghalu’s campaign team.

The lawmaker commended constituents for their steadfastness and urged them to replicate the same level of support they gave him during the 2023 elections to ensure Moghalu’s victory in the governorship race.

The campaign train, which toured six major Ogbaru communities — Akili-Ozizor, Atani, Ohita, Odekpe, Iyiowa, and Okpoko was greeted with enthusiastic receptions, with Moghalu pledging to end the marginalization of the oil-rich and agriculturally strategic LGA if elected governor.

The visit also featured courtesy calls to traditional rulers, including HRH Igwe Augustine Azuka Ngoddy of Atani Kingdom and HRH Eze Emma Chuma Onyia, Akakwu of Odekpe Kingdom, where Moghalu received royal blessings for the journey ahead.

With Ogene’s rallying cry and the massive show of support, Ogbaru is already shaping up as a stronghold for the Labour Party in the governorship election.

HRH Eze Emma Onyia is the Okakwu and not Akakwu. Please correct that OP.

Ogbaru is entirely LP, but I still continue to see Moughalu as an APC man in LP garment for the moment.

One continues to wonder why Uga - Idemmili - Odekpe - Atani - Akili to Osommala road is such a disgrace. I have hoped that with what Governor Soludo is doing in Anambra south, he can find a way with the FG to fix that length of road. That’s an oil rich local government and a complete agrarian area. Yams produced there are part of what is termed “Onitsha yam”. Government should please have mercy on the people and fix the road. Obodoukwu, afia Idemmili, Iyiowa are desperate in need of complete rehabilitation please.

Christ4ever:
It is a shame to see people support PENGASSAN yet we yearn for change.

That selfish association is one of the several reasons Nigeria is the way it is currently.

Dissolve the self serving union now.

Agreed with you and Ali Ndume.

Summary of Trump'sDeal

“THIS IS THE DEAL:

1. The return of the hostages within 72 hours.
2. Disarming Hamas of its weapons.
3. Gaza Strip demilitarized.
4. The Strip will be administered by an international body headed by Trump. Oh, and also Blair.
5. In the end – ISRAEL in the perimeter.
6. Trump understands and accepts Netanyahu’s opposition to a Palestinian state.
7. The Palestinian Authority will not get a foothold in running the Strip in any way – with Hamas there’s nothing even to discuss.
8. If the Palestinian Authority does not pass the reforms Trump set for it – changing its education system, stopping payments to terrorists, recognizing the State of Israel as the Jewish state, disarming terrorist organizations, renouncing the right of return, recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital – it will not be part of rehabilitating the Strip.
9. Whoever wishes to leave Gaza will be able to leave, and the Arab states will contribute their share and support him.
And if Hamas says NO –
Trump: Bibi, ‘finish the job’ like you know how.

THIS IS WHAT VICTORY LOOKS Like for ISRAEL.

Personally, I don’t see any scenario that Hamas TERRORISTS will accept it!
Irrespective of whatever,
They Have 2 Choices:
Either to Accept and leave.
Or to be Harden like Pharaoh and Be DESTROYED

Did you not read the below in your summarization?

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

How did you come to your conclusion with your number 7? Please read with understanding and cut off the bias.

Hopefully Hamas agrees to the peace plan and let Palestinians have their peace.

With the UN forcing Iran’s hand with threats of further sanctions, it is hoped that Iran will not make the wrong move of opting out of the NPT and just concentrate or think about fixing the ailing economy. In just a matter of days, Iranians are groaning under increasing costs of basic needs. For example, a kilo of beef goes for $10. If Ayatollah chooses to go the hard way instead of following the voice of reasoning, then the citizens should rise up at last against the regime.

Only yesterday, the Houthis defiantly fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv. Hopefully peace with Gaza will not afford the Israelis the opportunity to face the Houthis more squarely. Two days ago, Hezbollah announced that they had re-armed. While the Lebanese government is seeking to end the crisis and get Hezbollah to disarm, the leaders are talking about re-arming and facing the Israelis again. Hopefully Hezbollah will not make a wrong move that may put Lebanon at risk again.

Netanyahu did well to apologize to the Qataris. Hopefully compensation would be paid to those affected by the strike.

It is sincerely hoped that Hamas will throw pride away and take this opportunity. Even though the loss on the Palestinian side is not quantifiable, especially in terms of human lives, Hamas must fully surrender and drop all arms for that land to be rebuilt. Gaza is a beautiful area and if well financed, can become one of the most beautiful areas on earth some day.

After this, won’t it be appropriate for Mr. Putin to put an end to his arrogance against Ukraine?

We must all say thanks to President Donald Trump for his efforts in respect of Gaza, Ukraine and the rest of the world.

Forcefully?? 😂
If you know your rights no policeman has the rights to search your phone.
Them no born you well access my phone and them no born you well beat me because I know gri you access my phone.
You go loose your job that day .

Bros abeg where are you from? Travel first reach Oluku junction and claim right there. All those who received slaps first before forcefully taking their phones never knew their rights? In the face of “I go shoot you”, in the middle of nowhere, which right do you want to claim?

No let me laugh abeg.

Educationalserv:
You must be among the sacked workers is there any Compulsion your must work in Dangote Refinery
If condition are bad move to Total EP

Very terrible.

Go to Ojuelegba. They seat inside danfo buses.
Go to Oluku junction, Benin. Enter Benin city itself.
Go to Asaba, Delta state, between FMC and Inter BUA.
Go to Lekki - Ajah.

These mentioned areas, no peace of mind with police officers. They do not even want to care if you are a youth or elderly. They forcefully remove your phone to search and beat you in addition to extorting you of huge sums of money. Those police personnel never comply.

And after serving eight years as governor, he will return to the Senate to spend the rest of his political life.

It is so sad that citizens do not have the ability to hold leaders accountable in our country, otherwise certain persons should not be in position of power. For us, leaders can loot and whatever pittances that they give us on election day including their Tshirts, we can accept with pride. We never bother after that to ask what happened to roads, electricity, healthcare, education, etc. All we do after election is to wail and wail and wail.

Is it the Akwa Ibom I live in? Eket to be precise... you guys who don't know things on ground will just swallow everything you're fed with. Now. I ask you again...show photos to prove your assertion that BUA is almost completed and about to come on stream. Be talking nonsense as if you're on ground here in Akwa Ibom

Only lazy and broke youths talk this way. That’s how some of you doubted Dangote until production started. You are in Akwa Ibom, yet you are not updated. I have to make the wahala of researching for you. I previously mentioned the location, crept that you want me to give you transport fare. Now doubting Thomas, I have to provide you with pictures. No wake up. Go through BUA information daily and find out. Maybe you think Rabiu is one of those who would make false claims about his organization. No be only pictures wey I go give you, I go even give you photographer and camera join.
