lexylaw09:
Governors are now solely responsible for there respective states security

Things have changed sir

You're now free to collapse Amotekun to a well founded and managed State police 🚓🚨 force to ensure your State security in your state

Who changed things? The President is no longer the Commander in Chief again?

Abi did you sit down in your batcher in Ilorin and draft a new Constitution for the country?

Where is Yarimo? News from Abia state has made it to the FP.

Food has landed

The insensitivity of our leaders amazes me.
For weeks, children and teachers have been in captivity. Insecurity is at an all-time high, and the country is literally on fire.

But what the Senate President cares about is to overturn the democratic process and bring back people who woefully lost the party primaries.

To those e-warriors who continue defending this government, how do you sleep at night?
Don't you ever pause to think about the consequences of your actions?
Is that bag of rice worth your conscience and the blood of innocent Nigerians?

Eba50:
the south is part of edge of Africa. Its less than a pole to high sea. Adding abia to high sea means dredging most of those parts of river state that are close to abia, which means towns I'm rivers will be evacuated. In fact, it also means adding abuja to high sea. I know that area. I1 have visited area command of police along Aba road in p/h

Alright brother. Let's see how it goes.

Eba50:
east is surrounded by land.the coastal way runs along _Africa boundary, where all southern states are located,which is also the end of africa meeting Atlantic ocean.is it river Niger u want to join to high sea.does he want to dredge the whole river Niger to Mali? When delta say anioma state will give east high sea, we know wetin we dey talk, cos of aboh wey be boundary with river state.

I am going to save this comment. When the project becomes successful, I will be here to remind you of your post.

However, this shows that most of you guys do not have a basic sense of Nigeria's geography, or have never travelled outside your state.
Abia state and Rivers State are literally neighbours. It takes only slightly above 30 mins to travel from Aba to Port-Harcourt, and it is a straight road.
In practical terms, the time you will spend from Ikorodu to Ajah, someone has gone from Port-Harcourt to Aba and then back to Port-Harcourt.
I know people who live in Abia State and work in Rivers State.

Sometimes, it is best to research before you drop comments

Oga Yarimo, food has landed.

It’s easy to point fingers at South Africans, but are we really any different?

With the general elections just months away, the familiar pattern is about to begin. Soon, the usual suspects will rise, threatening anyone who refuses to support their candidate. They will insist that Lagos is their ancestral homeland and tell others to “go back to your states.”

If you complain that Lagos is dirty, they will tell you to go to your state.

If you say that Lagos is no longer safe, they will threaten to pursue you to your state.

Ironically, many of these people do not even originate from Lagos.

We’ve seen it several times. Even traditional rulers have issued chilling threats, warning that those who don’t vote “correctly” could be cast into the Lagoon.

We’ve watched homes and businesses belonging to Igbos demolished, accompanied by intimidation and calls for them to leave. Sadly, they always have lots of supporters on Twitter and even here on Nairaland, encouraging these barbaric acts against their own fellow countrymen.

This pattern of hostility is not unique to South Africa. It is alive here too.

Macphenson:
Minister of Works, David Umahi, said the council also approved N5.6 billion to hire specialized engineering consultants for the design and cost assessment of the new bridge.

The kind of looting ongoing in this administration is unprecedented. imagine using #5.6 Billion for designing or a bridge and Bill of Quantity for the bridge. Wooo. Make Una fear Godooo.

I wonder how much they will now use for the proper construction

The usual e-bandits will soon come for you.

They will dig up one report from China and tell you how only the design for a bridge in Tokyo cost the government 1billion dollars.

They will remind you that the government is invested in building quality things that will last for 1 billion years.

If you tell them how that money alone would have been used to construct and renovate existing roads, they will label you an IPOB/ Obidient that doesn't want any good thing to happen in Nigeria.

Things we see on Nairaland

autoez:
Lagos still leades, others follow

What about your own state? Why aren't you proud of your Kwara?

yarimo:
no law yet the dubious governor is collecting house rent from government despite leaving in his private residence

Lol. I knew you wouldn't disappoint!
Yarimo my man!!!

Yarimo, food has landed.
Come and comment quickly, so you'll meet your daily target

LabStores:
Everyone is just talking about 2027. We just entered 2026 o
We never even enjoy the year sef...

My brother, we never even finish January sef

Wouldn't this amount to double taxation?

Someone goes to a supermarket and pays VAT for the items purchased. He still pays another VAT for the money transferred to the supermarket for the same items.

Let's say the transaction is N10,000. The customer will be forced to pay VAT on goods, VAT on transfer, Bank Transfer charge, Stamp Duty charge ,and SMS alert fee!!!

Now that the 15% tarriff has been suspended, I wonder what Reno will have to say.

Dude has been posting non-stop on how the tarriff is the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria, and how the President should never halt such a "people-friendly" policy

Karlman:
Them go still blame Igbos
Them go still blame Peter Obi
Them go still blame the victims of Fulani herdsmen killings
Them go still blame Obidients

By the way, where is Reno Omokri? The man in charge of abusing Peter Obi, dude has gone deaf since the US President open Nigerian matter chapter?
Reno omokri need to tell the world how Peter Obi invited Donald Trump to Nigeria.

My brother, it will surprise you to know that Reno actually did say that Peter Obi was the one who invited Trump. Laughter nearly finished me when I read his post on Twitter

Reno na serious case

International issues are not handled with local propaganda; they require diplomacy.

The government’s first response was to rely on propaganda. Rather than taking responsibility, they pointed fingers at everyone else from Peter Obi, PDP, Obidients, IPOB, and even blamed Christians. Yet, despite overwhelming evidence, there has been no accountability.

For Trump to act on such matters, he would have relied on multiple reports from the CIA and FBI. Our government, however, chose instead to enlist Reno and other social media influencers to spread falsehoods.

I wonder if his advisers seriously believe that Trump is watching TVC News or scrolling through Nairaland and Twitter reading comments from helinues and co?

This isn't local politics

safarifarms:
Yarimo and his co travellers will not be happy.
These people keep attacking Otti for no reason. Foam in the mouth whenever they see him commission projects.
Get excited when they hear bad news from Abia.

I love reading Yarimo's rants on anything concerning Otti. Its very amusing for me

Kastonkastroll:
Well this is a good start atleast that egoistic Trump will cool his head down a bit. But in all if this, I expected AU to convey an emergency meeting and issue a very strong statement to USA but reverse is the case.

So one begins to wonder the usefulness of AU if Nigeria can be intimidated by Trump and no single statement from the union. Maybe we should begin to reconsider our membership.

Well this is time for unity among Nigerians irrespective of political or religious divide. We shouldn't allow one clown in faraway USA threaten our sovereignty!

So suddenly, you guys have started calling for Unity?

When herders enter into farms and kill people in their hundreds , you didn't remember unity.
When they threaten Igbos not to vote during elections, you forget unity.
When people in the South complain about marginalization, you don't remember anything about unity.

Emergency lover of Nigeria.

tundegan:
President Bola Tinubu visiting the US is a testament to our sovereignty and diplomatic strength. Engaging with the Vice President shows the importance of our bilateral relations. We will continue to address any concerns about Nigeria, including the baseless allegations of Christian genocide, through our diplomatic channels.

Lol. Forget that big English.

Just a tweet from Trump and our President is running to go and beg them. This is what they've reduced our country to.

When this is finally over, Tinubu should finally do away with Reno.

All these things wouldn't have happened if Reno didn't start organizing a press conference in the first place to deny the glaring truth.

Reno didn't just know when to stop. That's his major character flaw.

If he has kept quiet over this Christian genocide, shey he wouldn't have been dragged like this. His past tweets were even contradicting him.

But no! He had to organize a press conference to debunk the killings.
Not even Northern Muslims ever went that far.

Guestmale:
If an internet fraudster wiped away someone's life savings the shock and the heart attack could send that personality to his or her early grave. If those fraudsters are truly intelligent let them put it into positive use, they can open cyber cafe, but they won't do that because they are looking for easy, quick and big money.

How many people visit cyber cafes in 2025?
Youre just wired to criticize without even considering if you are making sense or not.

Seun, don't let Nairaland sink this low abeg.

Don't let Reno destroy what you've worked so hard build for decades. He isn't worth it at all.

Reno is looking for another person to leech on.
He should ask questions about Dangote first.
Hope he knows that Dangote doesn't have time for all that shalaye.

He is a core businessman that doesn't get
involved with political drama.

Uchesis:
Where is Reno Omokre?


Keyamo needs him now

Lol. Reno is going to type a whole essay about absolutely nothing. He will say that it is the standard all over the world and Trump also pardoned 1million people in one day.

Then at the end of the day, he will somehow drag Peter Obi into the matter.

Reno is very predictable.

Lanretoye:
The unauthorized spokesperson of the man’s family should also be sent to jail or they should just leave him with maryam

It's very easy to type this thing because the deceased is not your family member..

AMINDA:
All the Agbadorians who defended Wike claiming the news about the Florida properties was fake are now here denying this as well. But watch how fast they will switch up on Wike and make him public enemy number one once the rift between him and Tinubu is confirmed. Any keen observer can sense that the back-to-back project commencement "commissioning" complete with canopies and media spotlight is just Wike trying to make up for something that has been taken away from him, his monthly media chat.

Let me save this comment. I am sure it will come to pass very soon

I can't wait to see how the Agbadorians will launch their smear campaign against one of their favorite persons. It's even going to be funnier than El-Rufai's case.

What is happening to Nairaland. It looks very different

helinues:
Some Nigerians are just so insensitive. So Wike should be held responsible for the killings of the Arise journalist.

Which society is producing the criminals, who are their parents?

My people say that when the corpse of another person is carried along the road, it looks like a bundle of firewood to bystanders.

Every week, we are plagued with reports of OneChance criminals in Abuja. We hear stories of bandits roaming the mountains and kidnapping people. There are reports of thieves entering estates and robbing for hours without any police intervention. A Military General was even killed in his own home in Abuja!

People are urging the President and his Minister to do more. You are shutting them up and passing the blame back to the same people who are victimized.

Pray that your words don't come back to haunt you or your family someday.

APC goons will come and tell us that BAT is working.

The people who keep on supporting the State of Emergency have no idea what Tinubu just did.

The damage done to democracy will take many years to fix. This isn't about Obi or Atiku. It's about our collective future as a people.

Tomorrow, a Northern President can declare an SOE on Lagos or any other Governor that doesn't play ball. How will we be able to oppose that President when Tinubu did it successfully in Rivers State?

Also, notice that there was no yardstick in appointing Ibas as Sole Administrator.
A President can simply appoint his son, his relation or his best friend to rule over the State.

Who are we going to complain to then?

Sheyi Shay was a class act. That lady can sing like an angel.

I hope she makes a comeback
