Those criminal,looting leaders and political office holders have done far more harm to the country,s name, resources and well being than the so called Yahoo boys.as FELA will call them AUTHORITY STEALING pass armed robbery

Hold your leaders accountable u say?not in Nigeria, Nigerians are too gullible and docile to hold their leaders accountable,the Keke and POS business u mentioned are too satisfying and comfortable for the gullible citizens to take as consolation while top politicians and those in power loot and take away billions belonging to the people.
Nobody wan die or sacrifice their lives for any good revolutionary change in naija.thats why the suffering continues

Let me share my experience since I moved to America. Over here, every tier of government—local, state, and federal—has its own responsibilities and functions independently. This system makes development reach the grassroots effortlessly. But back home in Nigeria, everything is tied to either the state or federal government, leaving local councils powerless and ineffective. No wonder governors and politicians are more powerful than institutions like EFCC and ICPC.

Take Chicago, for example. The local government here handles its own revenue collection, builds and maintains roads, runs hospitals, and creates a business-friendly environment that generates jobs. You’ll never see the governor of Illinois coming to Chicago to inaugurate a local road or hospital project because each level of government knows its role and delivers without interference. Even law enforcement is decentralized—Chicago has its own police department, and Cook County (similar to our local councils in Nigeria) has its own sheriff’s department. Crime is tackled effectively because responsibilities are clear.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, soldiers patrol highways harassing civilians, while the police are either underfunded or compromised. Here, soldiers don’t even engage in civil matters—in fact, they respect the police more than the other way around. The system works because accountability is enforced. Break a traffic rule? Your license gets suspended. Do it again? You might never drive again. And if driving is your livelihood, well, you better find another job. The law doesn’t play favorites.

Back in Warri, I remember a church buying two acres of land just to build a massive auditorium while 99% of the community had no functional companies to provide jobs. Graduates end up driving keke or doing POS business because there are no real opportunities. Yet, when a governor builds a single road, people start shouting, "Our governor is working!" My brother, is it road we will eat?

Our politicians are wicked—plain and simple. They travel abroad, see how things work, and yet refuse to implement the same systems back home. Instead, they keep us divided with politics, religion, and tribalism while looting everything in sight. Meanwhile, we spend our time on social media complaining instead of taking action. We’re too sentimental, too forgiving, and too quick to celebrate mediocrity.

In 2025, Nigeria is still struggling with basic electricity, good roads, and functioning hospitals while the rest of the world is advancing in AI and technology. When will we wake up? When will we demand real accountability? These politicians are destroying the future of the next generation, and if we don’t act now, things will only get worse.

It’s time to stop the noise and start holding people accountable. The system over here isn’t perfect, but at least it works because the laws are enforced. When will Nigeria learn?

Houses they will buy cheaply and share amongst themselves,as if they care about ordinary Nigerians.only mugu,s will believe this jokers
Una go soon hear the full story in coming months ahead

The truth be told,una no get the money to establish a national carrier.if the money is there we will not be hearing this

Forget all the 4 refineries,they are all dead and buried by NNPC and government,they will only continue to use them to steal and loot,they don't have the liver and capacity to fix them
The solution is to sell them outright to a private company
It's a cash cow and opportunity to loot by those in power

Which question? Nigeria as a country is completely dead and buried by its leaders, Nothing good can ever come from this selfish, greedy and wicked system,it's not a cause,it's a statement of fact.dangote,s private refinery has been up and running for almost a year now without any glitches or issues of shutting down.no fuel queue everywhere in country for almost a year now.
That is a business run by one man.
What business or enterprise has any of your leaders run privately so far successfully before getting into government,apart from stealing, looting and taking what never belongs to them from the Cookie jar

Birds of same feathers flock together, Nigeria is a system that cannot be cleansed of systemic corruption and good values and morals.
The disintegration of this country has permanently come to stay
The only way out is for all tribes and regions to go their separate ways.

Sometimes u don't even know the difference in thinking amongst rich and poor Nigerians,it's like it's a cause in Nigeria not to be able to tell truth to those in power
Truly truth.don die for naija

Only in Nigeria u go see people Carry head but their thinking na almost zero,I always say this man will replicate what he did as he captured and conquered Lagos at the national stage,the same thing is playing out,
Nigerians only thing we'll when it comes to doing stupid, foolish and bad things
They ain't seen anything yet from this evil government

Usmanovic95:
Just like how he turned Lagos to one party state, I think he will replicate it in Nigeria at large. If at all Tinubu will exit the scene,I think it is laughable if you think it will be by an election he will conduct and supervise.Tinubu is still the bookmakers favorite to win the election not because of a stellar performance,but it will be another snatch grab and run and this time the 36 state governors will be fully involved.

The smallest State capital having 57 from 20,what will now happen to other states far much bigger than Lagos state, ordinary ogún state closer to Lagos?






The House of Representatives has approved a bill seeking to accommodate Lagos State’s 37 Development Area Councils as full-fledged local government areas (LGAs).

If enacted into law, this will increase the total number of LGAs in the state from 20 to 57.

The bill which was among the 42 constitutional amendment bills passed on Wednesday was sponsored by Hon. James Abiodun Faleke (Ikeja Federal Constituency), Hon. Babajimi Benson (Ikorodu Federal Constituency), and Hon. Enitan Dolapo Badru (Lagos Island I Federal Constituency), alongside 19 other lawmakers.

The proposed legislation is titled "A Bill for an Act to Alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) to Accommodate the Thirty-Seven (37) Development Area Councils of Lagos State as Full-Fledged Local Government Areas, Increasing the Total Number of Local Government Areas in the Federation to Eight Hundred and Eleven (811), and for Related Matters (HB. 1498)"

It scaled second reading on Wednesday during plenary presided over by deputy speaker, Benjamin Kalu.

If passed into law also, it will bring the total number of local governments in Nigeria to 811 from 774

It will also allow Lagos to officially have the highest number of local governments in Nigeria, surpassing Kano and Katsina states, which currently have 44 and 34 LGAs, respectively.

Some comments here just shows the way Nigerians think and how their brains function.i guess the system doesn't make people think and reason like normal human beings again.
Even if he look Haggard or disheveled in appearance,does That make the NIGERIAN POLICE officer to demand for bribe from him before they let him go if truly they are doing their job?Must we always support abnormality and bad behaviors from this criminal police officers?

Looking at the defections of some of the South south governors to APC,he will surely share part of the votes couples with the fact that those governors that defected to APC will surely want to rig the election for their parties,not all of them will surely succeed in doing that as the federal might of the ruling party will be an advantage to them.
Na them dey control INEC


uote author=chrisxxx post=135492941]
Obi share which South South? This time Obi will even be wiked in the East.[/quote]

I will not believe this yet from Òbí,naija politicians and cross carpeting are like 5 and 6, untill 2026
But my candid opinion if Òbí want to have good showing and result in the elections he need to team up with a very credible northern candidate either as the VP or presidential candidate,
That's the only way he can give APC a run for their money.
He should not repeat same mistake he made with Atiku in the last election by not coming together or collaborating.
That's why APC is trying at all cost to gather as many south south and south east Governors to their party,APC is in Panic mode ahead of 2027
If the APC takes south west votes and Obi takes South East votes and they both share South South votes,the North will be their battle grounds
With a good northern candidate on Obi,s side he will surely take Majority of the votes

MY OWN PREDICTION OF THE 2027 ELECTIONS AHEAD

How much are they charging from warri to Lagos and lagos warri pls,
I tried searching online I couldn't get the price,it takes about 7-8 hrs to travel from Lagos to warri by road on a journey of 416km max which on a good day should not take more than 4.5 hrs on a very good road
The worst road is from Edo State to Delta,u can spend 3-4 hours just on a journey of 100km due to terrible road especially at the Edo by pass to Sapele,it's that crazy, sometimes u spend the whole day on that same stretch of road when it rains,

You Sabi naija system well well,three gbosa for u.naija system no need babalawo or Shango power to predict am,

The gullible and docile voters right?voters they will give 2-5 thousand náírà and they will vote their gullible minds .sometimes this politicians think everyone is a fool, elections in Nigeria is determined by the rigging capacity of the president and governors,we saw example in rivers state,and INEC connivance in the last election.who appoints INEC Chairman and controls him.abeg second base jare

So refineries under go turnaround maintenance in every 6months?why hasn't Dangote refinery shut down almost a year now of production for turnaround maintenance?stop lying to yourself.the government did a sordid job.half of the money spent has gone into their pockets.
Wake up and face Nigeria reality

Alexis11:
What do you know about refineries??

All refineries in the world undergo constant maintenance and that is why it's extremely important for a country like Nigeria to have as many as possible.

Everything must not always be about bad politics and doom wishes.

So you that know so much about refineries your common sense tells u that after spending whopping 1.5 billion dollars to turnaround,u shut it down for another turnaround in 6 months,Dangote built a new refinery for almost a year now we haven't Heard it was shut down for turnaround maintenance.
I don't blame u ,u are a paid online agent by those in government so I expect u to think and reason like those employs and pay u
Good governance isn't for the dullards,this is Nigeria,I don't expect anything less

I said from the beginning until they run this refinery for 9months stretch to 1 yrs before I can believe they truly did a good job on the turnaround maintenance,now about 6 months into the year,they want to shut it down,
Anyone believing any government or politicians means well with these crop of people in government and power just keep living in fools paradise
These people are just there for themselves to benefit and loot the system,
1.5billion dollars spent to turnaround and yet 6
months into the year they want to shut it down
Yeye country

Yeye people. Electoral fraudsters accusing someone else.[/quote]

Yes because you are never known to be transparent or comes clean in anything

But the politicians and political office holders are chopping food and money from the national Treasury 😩😩😩Abi na free service them dey render the country?

This is Nigeria,s animal farm, different laws for different animals in the land.the bigger you steal,the stronger , better and more respected you are.thats how bad and disjointed the Nigerian society is

I used to be one of his fans and love what he does,but this days the sowore guy is tunning to become a nuisance on social media,
He doesn't even know how to be civil and sometimes too hard on issues
He needs to get a good manager to manage him politically and his political activities

Oga Peter Obi,its simple common sense,you don't need a jujuman to tell u the problem PDP and LP is facing currently is coursed by TINUBU and APC,you just have to braise up and look for like minds to join u and be in same page with your ideology and party,those jumping and leaving to APC are people without scruples and integrity, they are political prostitutes without class or decency,Name one single politician cross carpeting with integrity and good moral? None , only in Nigeria u celebrate people with criminal records and shady backgrounds

Only in Nigeria u will see criminals and unclean people using names of great people in the Bible and use them as compares to themselves.
I wonder where names of God and the devil are used as equals 🤷🤷

To their family members abi 😩😩😩😩

Nigeria a comedy and theater of absurdity and nonsensical things 😃😃😃😃this is the distraction those in government want to use to divert and keep Una attention occupied for the time being.
Another TV comedy program to keep Una minds busy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😃😃😃😃 Nigeria is a theatre and comedy of error, peoples ability to reason and think well has been completely closed because of chop chop and what benefits they will derive from their stupid actions.
Every chaos is an avenue and opportunity to make money, awọn werrey dédé
The ABURE is a mole planted and fueled by APC to cripple and completely destroy the LP

Nigerians are the most gullible, brainwashed and dumbest people ever,u see people being oppressed and impoverished by their oppressors and those keeping them in abject poverty,yet because of tribalism, religion and ethnicity, their brains are completely locked to logic and reasoning,hence those criminals rogues continue to use and create a divide amongst them while the oppressors live in luxury and opulence



quote author=iwaeda post=135469289]It will favour me and my family. Tinubu ruined everything, but they are endorsing him for 2nd term. Insecurity will not abate, I laugh at youth who are supporting their oppressors. Nlfpmod, go to shoprite at Oniru, Osapa, Sangotedo and Ikeja, same story. [/quote]

We want to see you jail high profile thieves and criminals in government and the society at large,not only ordinary citizens.
Let's have a balanced judiciary for the rich and the poor

And one stupid idiot will tell Nigerians the police man who shot the innocent boy cannot be identified from the video here?
It's pretty obvious the police force is trying to shield the crazy officer
