Shettema or who ?
Let us know, people dying in vain
Civilians and military personnels
One of the reasons people don’t fancy the military anymore

You just mentioned one. The VP was said to have formed boko haram by alimodu sheriff. He never denied it but stylishly said they weren't terrorist. I don't know what they'd benefit from this madness. Would they live forever? When I read the news that apc and pdp are terrorist organisations, I never doubted it yet, gullible Nigerians are supporting them on empty stomach. Shame!

We all know Nigeria's leadership style is chop make i chop. A saint in Nigeria is a criminal abroad. I remember UAE jailing some Nigerians over terrorism financing and the then government said they weren't given a fair hearing. The current administration is even worse. I reserve my comment before the pro-tinubu mode wouid ban me

Buhari's pro masses legacies are gradually being eroded by this administration. When we say vote wisely, we have a million reasons for saying so. This is just one.

We already know baba. Ordinary primary school pupil can't dish out their kinds of judgement, if given the opportunity.

The worst COAS in history . Joker of a man

Why build an airport when Port Harcourt is just nearby...

See reasoning. As a matter of fact, each state in Nigeria should have one. Is akure not close to ekiti? Why are they building an airport in ekiti? What of asaba and Anambra?We see such as a big deal in Nigeria because our leaders know we dont know our rights.

In Washington DC is an international airport. A few miles away is another one , the Baltimore MD airport, just close by, is another one. Here in lagos, we're supposed to have 2 extra airports but it's never happened. Tinubu uses this to campaign every 4 years but we've never seen anything close. Once the governor has won the election, he keeps quiet over it.

The quality of customer you get depends on the quality of goods you sell. Is Chimamda Adichie not married to a white man? See how the woman looks immediately after divorce, does that look like who has been responsible? Where and how did she meet the so called white man? Do you think he met him on linkedln? Forget, men will treat you how you deserve to be treated.

Her case was one of the exceptional ones. See Megan and Harry too. We can't rule out such exceptional cases. I had lived with whites and I can tell you they're so weird in thinking. They change suddenly even when there seems to be no cause for it. See the rate of divorce in their society

Mariangeles:
I've always felt African women marrying white men, and going to live with them in their country is a huge risk.
You cannot predict white people.

You cannot predict them oooo. Even the white lady may wake up one day and knife you, knife her innocent kids and eventually knife herself. They take decisions and conclude in minutes.

The worst governor in history, governing under the worst party in the history of Nigeria. Before you attack, go to ekiti and do a video from itawure to igede. God helping you, your bumper isn't pulled out half way. Many portions have been deserted already

IamaNigerianGuy:
Femi's father was a former senior staff at an oil company. Mobil I believe

No. He was a former printer at shomolu. He had a Printing Press back then. This isn't a hidden or fabricated story. He may have had shares in Mobil and qualified as one of their directors after he became wealthy. Same IBB made Uncle Adenuga of Glo and late chief earnest Shonekan. Baba shonekan was a director at UAC back then when IBB wouid always invite him to solve some economic and financial problems bedevelling the nation at Doddan Barracks. When he was leaving, he handed over to Shonekan,whom he had worked with and trusted so well, while his military government lasted.

Success stories are only sweet to tell once you've arrived. Baba Michael otedola was never a rich man. His small printing shop at shomolu where oga femi used to help his father is still there till today but now occupied by another printing outfit. The military came to shomolu with samples of stationery items to be printed and met the then Mr Michael otdeola. He said he could do the job and printed some for delivery at doddan barracks. From there he began to get more contracts from IBB and he became sole printer of the FG ledgers, journals, payslips and record books for all parastatals in Nigeria.

In 1993 IBB called him and said he liked his job and he believes if given a chance to govern, he'll do better but Mr otedola said he had no such money to contest and for campaign. Ibb said no issues and all he needed do was show interest. That's how he became a candidate of his party unopposed. The rest was history.

All we need do is pray for God's grace. It still works till today. No be by power or by education. Uncle femi had not even gone beyond sec schl when the military officers visited shomolu. He was helping his dad in his printing shop. My God's grace find us. I had shared dangote's story here before. How he came to lagos and squatted in alhaji maitama's rented apartment at ijeshatedo. The landlady told me this. She's 92 years old now. From there dangote got exposed to apapa wharf and he gained that connection. His uncle may be rich but never contributed to his Success.

Our leaders were never tribalistic back then until what's happening now. IBB could have looked for a nupe printer from minna to do the job. He was after the best and he got it.

Smartwave:
All these long grammar for someone that doesn't know about your existence You call Minister of works😂😂😂😂

From Abuja to Maiduguri is a dual carriage, which is over 500km x 2.

But constructing Abuja to Lagos , Lagos Calabar dual carriage now, is waste of money??

Southerners with over sabi

Do i sound like i care about his existence too? I wonder if any of them feeds me. Which abuja-maiduguri road is a dual carriageway? Is it abuja to Plateau or Plateau to other northern states that's dual carriage way? I had driven from lagos to yola 2ice and I can't see the dual carriage way you're talking about. We know your likes...always dropping fake information. You should have kept quiet instead of embarrassing yourself.

gidgiddy:
Im not entirely sure what multi dimensional poverty means but some people are lucky that the British decided to make Lagos capital of Nigeria, a status it enjoyed for over 80 years

If it had not been for that.........

Was Lagos the first capital of Nigeria? Haba!

Basic123:
A train will have been better...preferably high speed train

The best comment on this thread. They'd never do that for a reason. Nigeria's leadership arrangement is turn by turn and chop make I chop. That's a long term project, from which they'd never see money to steal while in power.
A fast speed train project would have united us more and brought about even development. I'm surprised why the self-acclaimed democrat and architect of modern lagos isn't looking in this direction.

I may decide to grow oil and cocoa plantation in my maternal grandmother's hometown in ekiti and even relocate there and still, be doing my business in Lagos. Once it's 5pm, I'm already at the train station to catch my 1hr train back to ekiti, even up to my back yard and call it a day. Those living in Kano, Anambra, calabar can do same. This would have brought about even development in Nigeria. I can build a duplex with shikini moni, compared to spending a billion on same building in lagos. All I need is buy beer Cartons for the family with little cash and I'd be given 1 acre of land free. Instead of wasting billions of dollar on moribund refineries which always end up in their pocket, this is a project they should've considered for the sake of posterity.

Kogi state is such an unlucky state with leadership. There's a small town in Germany called Gackenbach, where there's a replica of lokoja mount patti with an elevator taking tourists to the mountain top in droves. The mountain top is as flat as mount patti in lokoja with several acres of land with hotels, restaurants and hospltals. On mount patti too could be hotels, housing estates, standard stadium and even an aerodrome. In bello's 8 years in office, he never visited there. I had driven there once. There's a radio station there owned by a retired military man called tunde ogbegha. Because bello was short-sighted and super corrupt, he didn't bother to look in that direction because that wouid have been a 15-20 years project. Lokoja would have been a great tourist destination.

We dont have a caring leader yet, who truly loves Nigeria. All we have are businessmen in pioitics.

All these small boys parading themselves as kings. This is what happens when you jettisoned due process and went the man know man route when enthroning monarchs. What's wrong with these guys sef? Age comes with maturity and if you lack one, you're still a boy...a small boy for that matter. We have a lot to chew in the land than chieftaincy wahala. Insecurity is now plaguing our land but they don't care.

People should read about late Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the ooni of ife and his predecessor, oba adesoji aderemi. Also about the immediate past alaafin of oyo. Their profiles were weighty. When they entered any event, everyone kept quiet in standing ovations. All these ones can't command any respect. The other day it was about one oba in osun who was picked by the US government for fraud. There were qualified men who vied for the stools of alaafin and ooni but the most influential carried the day.

Where are our values, where is our culture? Smh!

This can only happen in a setting where young boys were being crowded kings. Being young isn't measured only by age but by maturity. Both of them don't deserve to even be akoda oba lasan, let along being crowned kings. Such a show of shame as this will only happen when due process is jettisoned for man know man. There were much more qualified people who contested for both ooni and alaafin stools.

We will continue to hear such drama until due process is followed when taking such a sensitive decision in our clime. This doesn't only apply to our tribe. We heard of what happened in Agbor in the selection of their king. No wonder Nigeria is in this disarray. Oba Iwo can't even near usa and Canada today while the other osun monarch was picked and jailed by the US government for fraud recently. We have a governor who was charged with credit card fraud in the 80s who can't step on the US soil forever. Dem plenti. Our values and cultural endowment are being monetised and they feel everything is ok. Make dem continue.

Indeed. With that empty Nigerian stand as seen yesterday at the venue ? We're waiting for their usual organised business meeting on all media channels which will be aired for one week when they come back. Their gullible supporters wouid begin clapping. Nigeria needs urgent rescue.

They stormed Qatar, even with so much entourage, no results on the propaganda investments

They visited UAE, no results on investments.

They've started again. These guys need to be stopped before they cause economic crisis in the country. Is it by force to make a moribund refinery wotk? Haba!

Kukutente23:
Reno will man it tomorrow

He's writing a thesis on Obi that he will put up at the booth

Pls be patient

Meanwhile don't be surprised if the person who accompanied the President under the pretext of manning the booth is found in a brothel

The last paragraph is so appalling but that's what they always do. Its the truth. Only God knows how much they've voted for this jamboree in USD. We're so gullible in this nation.

Wait and see what they display in videos and pictures with arrangee business and investment meetings when they return and their gullible supporters would hail them as usual.

They even listed hospitals where baba adeboye donated dialysis machines after they've waited vainly for federal government to respond to their cry .

Supply more dialysis machines to augmented what the donor agencies had put in place, not reaping where you didn't sow. The credit goes to donors not tinubu who had failed to do his job.

They had better be careful. Nowadays, guys dont want to get married. They should be glad and supportive if they see a guy that says he's ready to marry their daughter. Ladies full everywhere and it's so scary. No thanks to bad leaders in place. I hope the gullible ones have learned their lesson. 2027 no far again. Enough said

press9jatv:
Adeleke should accept court verdict of the court of Appeal accepting the APC LG Chairmen as the duely authentic Chairmen of all the Lg in Osun State

Apparently, you don't have any proof so, there's no fat lie in what I said. You're the one lying

press9jatv:
then I'm telling you that it's a big fat lie niii

Oh, really? Can you share your proof that osun LG allocation isn't being withheld by Tinubu for months and osun LG workers have been at the mercy of the adeleke family for earning a living? The below is the latest, read it.

https://punchng.com/osun-traditional-rulers-seek-tinubus-intervention-over-lgs-allocation/?utm_source=auto-read-also&utm_medium=web&amp

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for your proof.

press9jatv:
na big fat lies be this. Not true at all. Fg give out over #11b allocation to Osun State on monthly basis still Adeleke is not doing tangible projects in Osun State. Human development index is zero under his leadership. Very bad.

Read the news again. local government allocation. Its not difficult to comprehend naw

Ogunnaike144:
If this is true, I am Beginning to like Tinubu these past few months

You don't even know what youre liking. Its your opinion though. Obafemi Awolowo University Teachin Hospital has no single functional dialysis machine. We're working with JICA to donate 2 to them as we speak. This is a hospital that is supposed to have a minimum of 10 units. Is it not where dialysis is in existence that you'd slash the bill? It's same scenario in all federal hospitals nationwide. A few hospitals that had dialysis machines were at the mercy of donors like His Love Foundation owned by baba adeboye and his wife and international organisations like JICA.

Propaganda doesn't make a nation. It mars her. The news would have made sense had he said, he's delivery a number of dialysis machines to federal hospitals. He's never done any meaningful thing in the health sector since he became president.

All we're seeing is as a result of bad leaders. This is just sports oo. If you go to other careers, you'd find us there. We say vote wisely for many reasons. Our best are beng hijacked by responsible nations

If only every professional and academics would join us and vote out these parasites come 2027, Nigeria will be better again. We crave a government who will come up with a lot of reforms that will make politics less lucrative while the country and the people prosper. A better Nigeria is POssible

esnbrutality:
They will say you are IGBO now ooo..just wait and see.

I don't even care. Afterall they called obj and late pa adebanjo igbo too for supporting Obi. They're the problem of Nigeria.

PlayerMeji:
What is the political weight of Aregbesola in the SW that will make a demand for his assassination?

Nobody is going to make Aregbesola a martyr... He has to live to witness the same of betrayal.

He wants to create some awareness around him and use that to deflect the heavy loss they just incurred in the bye_ elections

Your comment shows how democracy in Nigeria looks like. If you want to break away from a particular caucus, you're seen as a betrayer or omo ale. Iru radarada wo niye gaan? Every Nigerian is free to align with any political party of their choice without intimidation. Wife could wake up one day and say she doesn't want to be in same political party as the husband and they'd wish each other good luck in a decent democracy. Bii ti Nigeria ko and it's tinubu who started this nonsense in yorubaland. When akintola left AG, awolowo and his followers never threatened him. That's democracy for you. Nobody called him an omo ale or unprintable names.

Tinubu left the AD founded by the likes of Pa Abraham Adesanya, Pa Bola Ige, Pa Lam Adesina, Pa Ayo Adebanjo but none of these sage called him omo ale after prostrating to get the ticket against the party's wish. Late Funsho Williams was their pick but the latter stepped down for tinubu in the spirit of omoluabi, saying he'd hand over to him after he's done 8 years with his full support, not knowing tinubu had a betrayal plan. He got there and corrupted the system and refused to listen to the founding fathers of the party.

People never knew why we didn't vote him in lagos in 2023. They'd know more clearly in 2027. I'd advise you work hard for him in your state cos no way for him here. The nonsense he caused here in 2023 in intimidating innocent lagosians won't be allowed in 2027. Maybe for the first time, we'd let him know he's not from our state. We need our decorum back. O to gee
