i wish, it was 6,300 bodies.

The journalists interviewing this liar and putting the report out should be arrested. How can someone keep giving failed predictions over and over , yet journalist keep going to publish his lies. It is obvious the journalists are receiving payment to disseminate falsehood.

hush15:
No... he is responsible. We know Nigerian politicians are incompetent but there is this layer Tinubu brings that even worsens it. His style of politics, you his zombies will call it loyalty but it is not. The Lagos you keep attributing to him is suffering from alot forget the face-lift. The day Lagos goes free from that man's grip, Nigerians will know Lagos is suffering. Lagosians are feeding on crumbs. That same politics he used to impoverished and put the state in bondage is being imitated on national scale and yes, it can happen. It is not impossible because, tinubu understands the average Nigerian is greedy and selfish and has weaponized that.

Ok, you can keep crying. Many of you duunnce castigate a C student and then only have a E or F student replacement. Lagosian are feeding on crumbs, meanwhile no other state looks progressive enough. Lagos has continue to initiate projects that are FG in scale, and one can noticeablely see improvement albeit not considerably fast enough, since i stop being a teenager, i learnt difference between ideal and reality.

From Abacha to Now: Are We Watching Opposition Politics Being Silenced Again?

In 1998, under Sani Abacha, Nigeria had five political parties; the United Nigeria Congress Party, Congress for National Consensus, Grassroots Democratic Movement, Democratic Party of Nigeria, and National Centre Party of Nigeria.

But in reality, there was no opposition.

All five endorsed one man.

No competition. No resistance. No real choice.

Today, under Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we are told we are in a democracy. Multiple parties still exist on paper. But what is happening in practice?
• Opposition figures are defecting in droves
• Opposition parties are entangled in endless internal crises
• Political pressure and strategic alignments are shrinking the space for dissent

Let’s stop pretending this is normal.

You cannot have real competition when the opposition is constantly weakened, divided, or absorbed.

You cannot claim healthy democracy when alternative voices are struggling to stay visible, organized, or effective.

And you certainly cannot ignore the pattern:
A system where power keeps consolidating on one side, while the other side keeps collapsing.

This may not look exactly like Abacha’s era, but it is dangerously familiar in direction.

Back then, it was forced consensus.
Now, it looks like engineered dominance.

The method may be more refined.
The outcome could be the same.

A nation without a strong opposition is not practicing democracy, it is rehearsing control.

As 2027 approaches, Nigerians must ask hard questions:

Are we strengthening democracy…
or slowly surrendering it?

The opposition parties are not necessarily silenced, the opposition politicians reflect the quality of an average politician in Nigeria: Little to no principle. Stop blaming Tinubu for what is not his fault, except you are asking him to close the door to defection to his party so he can claim "defender of democracy". If another party is in the helm of affairs, most opposition party members will move to them as well , they may struggle to hold on for about 5 years, but by the 10 year mark of continuous national opposition,most will collapse and run to the ruling party.

The ADC is worst collection of strange bed fellows i have ever seen in Nigerian politics, even way worse than APC when it was birthed. They claim opposition, because their hands are no longer on the "apple pie" and wants to get back ASAP. Even the man who clearly lacks principles with a deceptive claim of "structure of criminality" is back with the worse of the worse.

Pdp has been totally decimated

How the mighty has fallen

The once taunted biggest party in Africa

Omashey o

The wicked one has destroyed the party kpatakpata

He has no use to APC as it were, he can now be discarded as a piece of cloth if he pushes his luck too much

Hah, you have not been observing correctly or may be not analysing correctly, he is Wike's wing man and will be moving to APC. baring any unforeseen circumstances will be contesting and winning senatorial candidate seat under APC for FCT. Except any electoral act bar him from emerging , i doubt he will not.

Since trump's statement about Nigeria a country of particular concern, the spate of killings increased a lot.

At some point, prior to Trump "intervention" it was a consistent capture and killings of bandit leaders.

lamentor78:
Obi that has not secured party ticket is who you have prophesy for. APC have 31 governors and Obi that don't have a presidential ticket will get 70 percent, as how now.

31 governors AND counting.

They have started again. Somethings never change.

Just showing queque of people entering a bus may not be sufficient for why more buses should be provided. To make a case for more buses, there may be a need to state interval of bus arrival. I see somewhere she was saying if she waits for 5 minutes to join a bus, she is making a video, and i started suspecting it was for clout purposes. 1 hour waiting for a bus during peak hours is not fair and needs to be worked on. It makes absolute sense there would be waiting interval and it may be more than 5 minutes,if it is justified than waiting passengers usually fill them up within such interval, then buses should be provided. The buses also want to generate money from standing passengers.

How many times will this news be reformatted because about 4 years ago it birth Nigeria being called "poverty capital of the world".

There must be several approaches to the poverty plaquing the country, but far reaching ones will be the out of school children to be back in school, teenage pregnancy projects and family planning with main focus in core north.

What have you done in the past that are accomplishments ? It may signify poor attention to detail if you can't get your last name right on your banner or did not notice it. Also, it is poor branding to use PAIN as campaign lingo.

Goodluck .

Someone will see this now, and go via desert to libya to be killed like an old camel.

Austema:
Sadly this man won the 2023 election, but the evil ones in partnership with the INEC chairman turned the result the other way round.

We are not hopeless

He won with 10% of votes in NE and 5% in NW. Delusion too much ! 5% of votes in NW, the most populated voting region should tell you he was going no where, but delusion blinds.

The More opposition Tinubu gets, the more he succeeds ! That is what majority of politicians have realised. There are certain individuals like that. The secret to keep that destiny is to not be vindictive to the opposition, and he has kept faith with that attitude. I just exposed a secret, some still dont realise.

It will be 33+ by election time. at least 2 out of Osun, Abia and Bauchi will be in the bag. Anambra APGA is the first national party to endorse APC for the presidential election. Only 1 or 2 state(s) will be in opposition In January 2027 to the presidential election. FCT also in the bag. It is now looking like a walkover when one consider a higher likelihood of disaster from the ADC primaries compared to APC primaries.

Racoon:
The defective political compromise of the security architecture of Nigeria has really bastardized professionalism.

Frank Mba in 1992 joined as cadet officer, Current IG joined in 1992 as ASP. Go figure. The two individuals have distinguished themselves and time and chance happen to them all.

Nothing in here mentions about the status of the appeal, it is just a quack journalist implying poorly and wanting to promote an unknown site.

Although, i believe FIFA will not likely decide in our favour.

FIFA has to maintain status quo and work with standard procedure until a decision states otherwise.

anonimi:
The federal government is not just me and you doing a good or shoddy job.

The federal government is actually about the president doing a good or shoddy job that everyone else emulates.

How does the total package of the president compare with the total package of federal government workers, like the five arrested for bribery?

Why should responsibility be different from what is received as compensation for the job done

As to the boldened, okay, mold a golden calf and worship it all you want if that makes you feel better.

Nigeria will surpass the highest gross reserves achieved in 2008 @ 62 billion USD by end of next year at least. It could be earlier with the gulf war. We are on course to achieve 100 billion usd gross reserve.

iluvdonjazzy:
can you emerging? And the Federal Government is aware of this o yet they will not do anything about it.

The way some of you call "Federal Government" like it is a single character is amusing, and it suggest dissociation. The FG is more often me and you doing a good or shoddy job. These guys arrested are actually "Federal Government" . To complain about others and not see how you are contributing to the problem is the easiest job in the world.

Imagine!
My wife has staphylococcus but still denies me sex??

Oh I was good man! I admit today. But good men are foolish when it comes to being good to women.

We’ve been married for roughly 11 months now, you know the kind of Christian marriage where you don’t test your products’ output before purchase.
Before marriage, we did the important medical tests like hiv, genotype, blood group, etc.

One thing I observed about my wife is I always have to initiate sex; but 7 of 10 times she denies me sex, before and after marriage. We’ve been together for 3+ years now.

Recently I observed skin breaking in her vaginal area while we were bathing together, so I asked her to do an std/uti test. She did the test and result came out with staph positive.

I was really pissed, because I don’t sleep around. Her response was that she got it from public toilet… I didn’t even argue. At this point I was just thinking of myself.

I did mine, (swab, urine and blood ) and it came out negative.

All these happened while she was denying me sex as her husband, all because I was being good to her and giving her every attention she needs.

It turns out women don’t value men that are good to them, or who plays and offer them attention. This is so because I’m focusing on my friends and giving them more attention than her now, and I’m noticing changes.

Currently I’m not drawn to her emotionally anymore, not because she has uti, but because she will deny me sex for no reason… and she know how much I fear adultery
She’s my wife, when sex comes I take it. If it doesn’t, I have my friends to chill with.
Even if I cheat now, I won’t feel remorse
Even if I impregnate another woman outside now, I won’t feel guilty.

I want her family to perceive me as a bad person now… maybe this is the kind of man I am, maybe this is the kind of man their daughter has forced me to become… but I won’t be a slave to any woman because of sex.

I know y’all must be asking why I’m sharing this information now… I’m sharing because before marriage, I expected unlimited intimacy, I expected love. And just like some of you reading this my post, you’ll be feeing the-same, maybe yours will be different from mine.

Women always want to control situations… she expected a man she could control with sex, not knowing there’s unlimited sex out there, even before I decided to get married. I was the fool, I was the good man, and just like everybody else, you will regret why you’re good to women.

There are different type of staph. There is one for newly deflowered virgins called staph saprophyticus . She may not be enjoying the sex @ Op, i know that may hurt your ego, but you have to calm down and figure how she can enjoy the experience. When you are so starved and want to just have sex, your chances of focusing less on pleasuring your partner increases.

I doubt they can find any wire tapping device after all these days, even the village idiiiot will not leave it in the home after all these days. If this is not a lie by the journalist, then shame on the icpc officials lying, as it puts a dent on the reputation of the invitation.

motymop:
All these chatgpt made up stories

Chatgpt is not dumb. Put some respect on AI. No way, it will come up with this story.

Weak story: AS and AA can not produce SS. 99.99% will not undergo cVS testing if not trying to pick a chromosomal disease /defect usually SS. Things that never happened.

The headline is wrong. Ambition is not same as fulfilment.

Richtaiwo:
This makes absolutely no sense to me, unless there’s some secret dictionary defining what I just read.

CBN deliberately slowing appreciation of the naira? For what exactly?

Government income . Nigerias 2026 budget is based on 1,400/usd and i think 1.9 million barrels . Gradual and steady appreciation also suggest a reliable currency, a volatile appreciation provides room for seeing currency as hedging / speculation tool.

Nigeria is turning the downward tide ,but most people are not noticing yet as the microeconomics for most is not encouraging. Foreign reserve now the highest in 13 years at 50 billion USD. It is a double edge sword, as reducing interest rate put more pressure on the naira, but it is necessary as it is almost direct proportional to borrowing rate for entrepreneurs. Interest rate at not more than 15% is a safe zone.

This consistent rise of foreign reserves will improve naira. I opine that if we get to 120 billion usd, which is possible in 5 years, Naira will be less than 750/usd. The highest ever foreign reserve for Nigeria was in 2008 at 62 billion usd.

DesireV:
Muslims should sacrifice their faith? This is easy to say because the common law upon which our system is based favours you. Flip positions and imagine it.

Personally, I support the Igbos or any group's right to freedom. So far it's the wish of the majority. I don't believe any group should sacrifice their freedom of anything for whatever reason.

If you will be stoned in Kano for discussing a topic of interest, that's Kano, not shariah.
Again, shariah doesn't contradict any provision of our constitution. If it does is anyway, make adequate references to the shariah provision that contradicts which specific constitutional provision.

The issue really is non Muslims using certain practices by some Muslims to judge Islam as a whole. This isn't fair. Kano isn't the only state in this country where shariah is adopted. Hisbah activities vary across the 12 northern states that adopted shariah. Infact, it existed only on paper in Borno. Each state has its legal framework for shariah. Northern Nigerian isn't the only region where shariah has been adopted. There are countries with Islam as state religion and shariah as the legal system. Non Muslims live in these countries without having to sacrifice anything.

Out of intolerance, rather than interrogate the real issues, non Muslims call the dog a bad name, so that it can be killed. Instead of them to find out exactly what shariah law's position is on matters, they reference what some people do under the guise of shariah and parade it as shariah.

Anyone advocating for a practice suited for the 16th century at best in the 21st century is unfit for the current society. Most of the Sharia practices are repugnant and not fit for modern day living, and it is not in religion only, it applies to backward cultureas well . A good example of retrogressive culture that is causing chaos and disaster in Nigeria is the fulani culture of rearing cows that is not in tune with modern world. If you think with growing population, growth and civilization, becoming a nomad on any available land is a sustainable culture, you are unfit to be related with. The fulani herdsman still wants to live as early man, with little or no value for human lives and claim it is culture. To hell with any religion or culture that refuses to make modification.

alezzy13:
I don't think divorce is a major issue. From my brief experience in the North, the real problem is unbridled child bearing! Chai! Those women can born like eh. . .

They are linked together. When those young girls get married and divorce, they keep remarrying and give birth to some of the new husbands. There is a large propensity to have a child for a new husband. I agree multiple children they cant take care is most likely the biggest problem in the core north, but root cause is religion and divorce rules under the said religion.

INEC didn’t mutilate the following result sheet

Continue deceiving Agbad0rians

if you are not lying to yourself, how does changing 122 to 121 and the original width of horizontal line of blocker still showing suggest anything. Show us where that was counted as anything beyond 121. Inec is represented most likely a corper who corrected his/her error.

public holiday on the eve of election now warrants protest? Phd does not help fix some fundametal issues.

franchasng:
Before I answer your question, I will ask you honest question and I will need you to answer me sincerely.

Can devil ever do good? The obvious answer is NO!


A man's source of income mostly determines who he becomes in life. How a man earns a living matters a lot in how he handles every other thing in life. The moment a man ends up earning a living through brazen corruption, illegalities, cheating others and committing serious crimes, that man can never be a good leader because his conscience will become dead.


Tinubu is a known corrupt man, a kleptomaniac with too many secrets (family lineage, age, educational record, employment history, business dealings, marriage, etc) and gray areas, who used illicit wealth or let me say unknown wealth source to buy Lagos state Governorship position which he then confiscated the moment he became Governor of Lagos state in 1999 and has held Lagos state on ransom ever since then, selecting and appointing Governors, House of Assembly members, LGA Chairmen, etc like Lagos is his personal family business.


Tinubu owns a private jet, ask yourself how did he acquired a private jet; someone that doesn't have any known and popular business or company rendering services or selling products to a large population, so how did he acquired the wealth to buy private jet and become stupendously rich if not through corrupt practices, including confiscation of Lagos state and turning it to his private estate where he rules like an emperor.



Now a man with such a questionable character, who made most part of his wealth through corruption and corrupt practices that is obvious to all, can such a man ever do good as a President that now provide him the opportunity to loot at a larger scale without questioning?


Did you see how he awarded the coastal highway project, a big project like that was never advertised on national dailies for months for interested and capable contractors to bid, boom he awarded it to his political-business associates at a very whooping cost.



If Nigeria was China, or some serious countries, Tinubu and Dave Umahi will end up in jail serving life sentence or facing capital punishment for such brazen corruption and abuse of office. Go and read about the case of a former British Royal now under arrest for abuse of office, he never did half of what Tinubu and co have done without national outcry.


Another reason I personally dislike Tinubu is his nepotism and dangerous politics of tribal division, whereby he intentional incite Yorubas against Igbos as a political tactics. He uses tribal sentiments and bias to rally his tribesmen and women and also awaken their consciousness to a dangerous level towards the Igbos whom he feels threatens his political hegemony in Lagos, and this has further polarized and divided Nigeria, especially among Igbos and Yorubas more than ever.


Don't think he started it in 2023, he has always used this divisive politics before Peter Obi contested for President in 2023. If you doubt me, go back and search about Jimmy Agbaje and his tag as an Omo Igbo which Tinubu's political party and adherents have been using since 2015 especially.


So that is my number one reason for not liking Tinubu, he has polarized Nigeria and divided Igbos and Yorubas more than ever in history and the damage he has done will take God and years to repair.



Lastly, he is arrogant and prideful. He always carry himself like he is a god that nobody can challenge him and that whatever he wants he does and whatever he says he must do whether it affects people or not doesn't matter. This is a very bad quality of a leader.



Let me stop here for now

The way he awarded the project was a masterstroke, something Nigeria needs. Big milestone projects never gets done because it gets bogged down in corrupt ridden and failure personified red tapes. If it was a dunceee president, they will still be at the feasibility study of that project and abandon it as cost keep changing. The way he galvanised the national assembly and ensured the tax reform bill was initiated and passed in to an act in a year in the face of opposition is something that needs to be studied, it is of the same mold as the Petroleum industry act that took almost forever (12 years) to be passed and when it was even passed, it was a dangerously watered down and messed up shit that was passed in the Petroleum Industry Act. He signed executive orders some days ago to fix the mess of that poor job of the Petroleum industry act. The dexterity of removing fuel subsidy on a swearing in podium, something Buhari was afraid to do for 8 years so as not appear like a bad president. Nigerians do not appreciate Tinubu enough now(even supporters) , but many will look back and recognise he was what we needed. Nigeria can not work with people who can not galvanise, and will come back after 4 years to claim it was someone that made them fail and loads of excuses.
