If they want to ride Okada they can go to their villages and states, they are 32 states in Nigeria, not by force to stay in Lagos, a lot of people staying in Lagos should be in their villages developing themselves and their villages.
Come to Alimosho and see aworis ride okada. Aworis are core lagosians too. So,where do you want to send them...Igando,ijegun,ijeododo in same Lagos or outside their state?

Sorry to inform you the Nigerian judiciary isn't under the control of the Attorney General of the Federation, but rather, it operates independently as one of the three arms of government. The judiciary's primary role is to interpret laws and ensure they align with the Constitution.
In the Nigerian context the judiciary are.

Yorubas, hausa, ibo and other tribes do this business in lagos. Before 2027 election, they'd allow them cos of election as usual. I don't know why Nigeria's version of humans are different from others globally. They easily forget the past, love suffering and smiling

How will you fund the supplementary budget? You have to be specific, because it seems you are smarter than the opposition leaders who tend to carefully avoid this topic by focusing on how it's done rather than what is being done.

Subsidies often benefit the rich more than the poor; they only make things cheaper for the poor in the short term, at the expense of a better future.

As for the Osun LG allocation, that is a Supreme Court decision—unless, of course, like typical Nigerians, you expect the president to disobey the court simply because the judgment doesn't favor you. Yet you'd cry blue murder if the political gladiators were the ones benefiting from that same disobedience.
Let me start from your last paragraph. Who controls the AG? Who's in charge of the judiciary? If you can answer the 2 questions from the Nigerian context without bias, then it's fine.

Now on the supplementary budget, you don't seem to get the message clearly. The supplementary budget has nothing to do with payment of subsidy to enrich the rich further. The supplementary budget i was talking about was provide palliatives for the hardest-hit section of the society by the removal of the subsidy which the president could have done. He could borrow money later(as he's done multiple times) to address it. Palliatives such as purchase of buses for all states, provision of drugs and equipment into hospltals, empowering the artisans financially and elderly, reduction of school fees in public schools,etc, could have been taken care of, by the supplementary budget but he simply looked the other way.

Despite promising palliatives to be put in place in a matter of months, nothing has been done, 2 years after. Even if he chooses not to borrow to take care of budget deficit, what happens to the proceeds from the subsidy from 2023 till today? Do you and I know what had been recovered so far....? You may tell us, if you do

Chukwudi4naija:
Have you not heard about supplementary budget? A good leader would've considered the masses and done the needful. But No!, he blatantly and arrogantly removed it from the first day of resumption.
You are sensible with your post. The supplementary budget would have been able to dowse the economic tension a great deal cos he had the opportunity and right to raise it as president. After all, he raised a supplementary budget in other areas too. That shows the height of insensitivity to the sufferings of the masses and act of wickedness.

The supplementary budget would have taken care of the palliatives for subsidy that was removed. How can a president promise palliatives on resumption on an empty budget? Since 2023, he's not revisited that side. Like I've always said, democracy is primarily set up for the masses. Call a prado jeep any amount, the rich can always afford it in any economic situation.

The man has proven several times he's not for the masses. See the osun state LG allocation he's been withholding for 7 months now. Thanks to the adeleke family who have been paying them salary steadily from their pocket. He wanted osun to boil but this never happened. I hope Nigerians are seeing what's happening. If those who voted him dare make same mistake again, they'd see the version 2 of the ongoing economic woes

Yea buhari did before he left office. It wasnt part of the 2023 budgetary provisions.
PoliticsRe: Buhari Threatened To Sack Me Over Petrol Subsidy Removal — Kachikwu by Eriokanmi:
Buhari was a good man and I never regretted voting him in 2015. He was a father indeed. Even when it was deemed necessary to sanction some states not ruled by the apc and declare a state of emergency, he never did so. He never withheld any state's LG allocation unlike what tinubu is doing in osun and all the LG workers are at the mercy of the adeleke family who have been paying the Osun LG salary for 7 months now and without making noise over it. How can you withhold a state's funds and suffer the masses cos of your political ambition? Isn't that wickedness?

Buhari and tinubu always fell out on key political and economic issues and the reason they didn't get along throughout his 8 years administration and Buhari's actions were geared towards the love for the masses. I also remember him settling the oil-rich state which gave wike the opportunity to do a lot of projects in rivers. He didnt withhold the funds.

When buhari came to lagos to commission the Ayinke House and the newly rehabilitated airport road which Tinubu's firm constructed,I was there as a sub contractor inside lasuth but tinubu was absent. Buhari came to commission dangote refinery but tinubu left the country ahead of his visit.

We've not missed Buhari yet. We will miss him more in the next 2 years.

I totally agree with you that we should... I was once an advocate for PLWHA and a peer educator for Mcauthur foundation during my university days.

It is so disheartening to see that the public awareness on HIV/Aids has drastically gone down!!!

Those days, we have NACCA and SACCA during the days of Prof. Babatunde Oshotimyin always bring awareness programs and ads to our airways.

People must be continuosly reminded that AIDS is Real!!!


I hope they listen. It will be like a movie the day they show them a lab result of testing positive. They should go to UCH and see fresh-looking chaps waiting for their ARVs. E no dey show for face at aaaaal. Now that Trump has even scrapped USAID, it will be difficult for victims to assess subsidised ARVs. Na pesin wey don chop belle full go fit afford am for pharmacy shops henceforth, cos the last batch of subsidised of ARVs don dey finish now. So, why take the risk?

OP, you forgot to mention FACCA,SFH,APIN/PEPFAR. I supplied them immune-based drugs back in the days. That was where I started my entrepreneurial life.

I think the supposed fan is just being emotional here cos Naira Marley is actually innocent of the crime he is accused of.

Mohbad was just a poor guy that got infatuated with drugs just like Naira Marley alleged in one of his video recently and that happens to be the driving force behind his untimely death.
Where did you sweep the statement he made before the unfortunate death that if he dies, nairamaly should be held responsible with his friend...under the carpet? Allow God to do justice, not you and Im sure He will.

Yes, our people, after fasting and praying before getting their visa will be talking ill of God and men of God back home, all because they're no more hungry and they can now see small change to put in their pocket.

There are a lot of them who even say God doesn't exist whereas same God helped them fight their ancestral war when they were in dire need of that Visa breakthrough.

PoliticsRe: Muhammad Swasun: Kwara APC Chairman's Wife & Daughter Kidnapped by Eriokanmi:
As if tinubu cares....the primary duty of a president is to protect lives and property, others are secondary and if he's failed in this, he's failed in all because a secure environment is where peace and progress can thrive. Na lagos dey fear me now. At each junction, you see able-bodied youths playing ludo, snookers, draught from morning till night every blessed day, begging for 1k to feed. Most of them are artisans but no job. May God not allow them to turn criminals cos the idle hand is the devil's workshop. Something urgently needs to be done to address this.

When we say vote wisely, its never a statement made out of sentiments. The masses bear the brunt 💯 . They can afford to run away, or hire the best security to guide them and their family. If I feel my biological brother isn't fit for a political position, for the sake of the masses who are supposed to be beneficiaries of democracy, I'd not vote him. We won't stop running to the west to seek shelter and living because this is what's obtainable there(merit over sentiments).

According to Ribadu,Nigeria is now safe and people can now travel from Abuja to Kaduna,including ministers.
This isn't about politics, tinubu isn't doing well on security. I travelled from Benin to Ore to pass the night so we could leave the following day and get to lagos early. Around 7pm,the Benin ore expressway was so dry, as if there was war in the country. No single police on the road, no single army at their base on the expressway, everywhere looked so deserted, the road that used to be busy even till midnight with travellers.

I can never risk that again in my life. I had not driven on that road in a long time I almost vomitted my heart ,due to fear. Things have really changed

Amudeneogu:
Nigeria should be no. 1 because the number of churches in Nigeria pass both USA and Brazil joined together, meanwhile, where is European countries that brought church to Nigeria and other African countries.?
Nope. Its US I wonder why some Nigerians always refer usa as a less-religious nation when abusing their country Nigeria, despite the obvious. If you visit Joyce Meyer ministries alone youd count over hundred thousand congregation each Sunday. Why won't God keep blessing them?

The European countries you mentioned are majorly the present day Americans. Trump's family emigrated from Europe. They called the US a new world. If you enter America today, each state is identifiable with the nation in Europe from which they emigrated to America to live and their generations remain till today. That doesn't mean there are no churches in Europe . By the time you mention top 20, I'm sure European countries would be among. Remember population plays a major role too check the population of the top 10 nations above. Most European nations are less populated than lagos alone
