Fayose is just trying to leak Tinubu's ass. The money was not given from personal purse but from Disaster Fund managed by the Federal government. N50 billion was approved but N30b was released. The story behind the withheld balance is not queried.
Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu collected N100 million dollars for land allocated for Dangote.
Summary: No politician is to be trusted with money. They stole without conscience and fear of God.

In as much as I like Fubara towing the path of peace, this year and going forward, he need to develop some gut to be able to withstand and face the bully frustrating and terrifying his administration. Enough of behaving like a spineless fellow.
Look at the young naval officer, how he won the admiration of Nigerians with his boldness and courage against Wike.

The spread of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping had fully covered the 3 geopolitical zones in the North, penetrating the South West very fast and warming up for South East and South south.
The security of the citizens lives doesn't seem to matter to our government and politicians any more but looting with reckless abandon our common wealth.

The strike even if it kills one of them and destroy part of their weapon. They will improve on subsequent strikes until the groups and their supporters and financiers are eliminated. Death to all terrorists. Send them to go and meet their 72 virgins with pointed Manchester.

JuanDeDios:
And we lost him because of the other yeye man. Not good.

Yes, 2 gentle men lost at the same time due to one man's greed and propensity to dominate and control all aspects of our economic life to the detriment of millions of others.
I pray his integrity and transparency will make a better away for the.

yemmit90:
Government should also allow importation of cheap cement, so that he can concentrate on selling outside the country.

He is a liar,he speaks from 2 sides of his mouth.. He rebuff every attempt by BUA to agree on price reductions of cement. The Federal Government should allow importation of cement and he will sing a new tune that he has the capacity to meet local demand. The Minister of Trade will be fought until he is removed.
The same thing apply to import license to bring imported fuel so that price can be competitive, he fought the man that issue import licenses until he was removed.

This administration is a korokoro thief. A law passed and debated by the 2 legislative houses and send to the public for consultation before it was eventually passed. Now for the Executives to assent and gazette, the law changed in construct and substance.

APC just one to have one party state and eliminate opposition so that their policies and bills will be passed into law with little or no resistance.

Skoonheid:
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, and he was not found anywhere.

A horse is prepared for the day of battle but victory is of the Lord. Prov21:31

Yes, he has bought Governors and politicians from other parties to his side, he is this, he is that. All these are good but give victory is of the Lord.

They are all earning bogus salary and allowances and should be able to afford payment to private security or go for civil defense. Alternatively, go for foreign security. The masses lives matter too, leave Nigeria Police for us.

Sure, but I don't trust dangote though...


Who is a stark capitalist and monopolist. To me he is just trying to strangle the competition so as to gain the upper hand in the market. So he can control the market price to whatever he wants when the competition is no more.



So he isn't necessarily doing it because he has the interest of Nigerians at heart but to gain absolute control of the market.


Nigerians should enjoy it while it lasts and favors them though!

Dangote is looking for market dominance and large market share. He already had the advantage with his Refinery but stifling competition and manipulation of price and supply is totally bad.
His costing template gave him out when he started production. He introduced some cost elements of imported fuel into his template thus selling at supernormal price.
When BUA and other new entrants join in production hopefully by next year, the price will crash further.

Zionmdde:
Dangote and his monopolistic gimmicks. Let him kwantinue.
Am sure the man was asked to resign

Nevertheless, a man without guilt is not afraid of scrutiny

Shebi the man has been removed to placate Dangote. Nigeria should watch the next move of Dangote with the successor. I pray we will not start buying a litre of petrol at #1,500 before the next 6 months.
He

malali:

I cant imagine that Nigerians are falling for the trick, Dangote wants to play us.
He dealt with Emefiele and never reported Emefiele for corruption.
Once they replace Farouk with one mumu person. He will dominate petrol supply in Nigeria.
The prices will be 100% at his mercy.

For Dangote holding to hold Farouk by the jugular with intention to destroy and kill his career, Farouk must be a man who did not yield to his control and manipulation to benefit an individual but overall interest of the masses.
He used crooked ways to maintain dominance in the cement market despite big names that are in the market before him, the likes of Portland cement now Lafarge, BUA, Benue cement etc
He will not succeed this time because his antics are known already. Farouk will prevail, that is my prayers for him.

He can buy all the governors to his party, give money to form solidarity groups and make plans towards rigging 2027 election.

Power belongs to God and the entire electorates cannot be bought .

malali:
This is among the most refined responses I’ve encountered in quite some time. It clarifies why Farouk Ahmed places such deliberate emphasis on educating his children. Education is a form of permanent sovereignty: when the mind is trained, oppression loses its leverage—even in the absence of great wealth.

What we’re witnessing is not chaos, but a method:
I
*A wild and spurious allegation is introduced.
*It attracts a public brickbat, loud and emotionally charged.
*Then, the serious mind steps back—to dispassionately distill the issues.

That discipline is power.

When Dauda Kahutu Rarara sang “turanchi ko, turawa” in Omo-Ologo, this is precisely the subtext he was pointing to: not colonial nostalgia, but mental posture. The difference between reacting and reasoning. Between noise and navigation.

Education doesn’t merely inform; it inoculates.

I read the man rebuttal and I know he may be innocent of the spurious allegations levelled against him.
A clear conscience fears no accusation.

I know Dangote desperately wants him out of the way for his selfish reason.

Flangelo12:
Mr. Farouk holds a degree in engineering technology from the Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA, and has attended several executive and management / leadership training programmes globally during his career life of over thirty-five years.

The extensive professional achievements of Mr. Farouk spans through successful career endeavours which started by working as a logic board verification engineer at Apple Computer Inc. (later called Apple Inc.), in Dallas, Texas, and operating at broad managerial and executive leadership positions in the dynamic Oil and Gas Industry as listed below.

- Executive Secretary – Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority (PPPRA),
• Executive Director (Commercial) – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),
• Managing Director – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),
• Special Adviser (Downstream)- GMD-Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC,
• Manager – Crude Oil Export Programming and Nominations, Shipping and Terminals (Crude Oil Marketing Division-NNPC);
• Managing Director – NiDAS Marine Limited,
• Senior Crude Oil Trader – Duke Oil Inc

Aliko Dangote just wanted to destroy the good career of this man because he didn't agree to do his dirty bidding. I pray God will safe him once his hands are clean. A business man turn whistleblower and private investigator to crush and destroy his kinsman just to keep milking the downstream market as he likes.

Dogalmighty17:
Accusations and counter accusations. We must remember though that the NMDPRA boss started off this fight when he baselessly claimed that dangote refinery fuel was substandard and had failed to meet critical performance parameters. On that basis alone, he should have been sacked.

I hope you read the article. I know his beef with the guy was borne out of failure to dance to his tune.
Dangote is fighting for market dominance and to ensure that government policy in oil and gas sector particularly the downstream is in its favour. He is against fuel importation and once sue NNPC over this. After removal of subsidies how do you push for import duty of 15% on imported fuel just to make fuel importers less competitive.
I want to believe the real competition will start in earnest when BUA group complete their refinery and begin commercial production and other new entrants too.

mikeapollo:
It is not too low. The NMDPRA man has been undermining Dangote from day one. He is the one that said FG could not be buying products from Dangote refinery because their products are substandard, which turned out to be a lie.
A civil servant cannot be allowed to undermine and frustrate the nation-building efforts of major industrialists like Dangote.

You don't understand what Dangote is doing. He wants to be the sole producer and seller of petrolatum products. He is angry with this fellow who happens to be his kinsman for issuing several import license to fuel importers for Q1- 2026.
Whereas there is demand gap between Dangote Refinery production and actual consumption. Besides their is no competitive pricing because no competition in the market. He recently took government to court over license given to fuel importers. He wants to destroy the man's career and have him removed from the position. He is not doing this nonsense because he loves Nigerians.

This is how misappropriation and fund embezzlement dey take start. You are implementing some portion of 2024 alongside 2025 budget. Who is monitoring the execution and funds allocation to authenticate these claims. This is absurd. There could be supplementary budget raised to meet funding gaps not envisaged when the initial estimates are prepared but running 2 budgets in fiscal year is an aberration.

The government is not considering the health implications on the consumers, the littering of the environment with waste/ packaging but are only looking at potential loss of revenue accruing from taxation receivable on this products.

I pray God should reserve the hottest place in hell for Mr Lai Mohammed. Are you the one that issue blank bullet to the soldiers and are you at Lekki toll gate. The blood of those killed will hunt you for the rest of your life because of this continuous lies.

Threedoorsdown:
This one is always crying when his monopoly seems threatened. He then becomes the one who loves Nigeria the most

Anyways the allegations shouldn't be overlooked. Proper investigations should be carried out

Dangote is a monopolist, he hate market competition. He had lobbied the government to stop issuing import license to fuel importers. The Federal government had stopped subsidy payment. If imported fuel meet the NNPC specifications and can complete with locally produced in terms of price. It is should be encouraged. Al the years that Dangote has been enjoying waiver and cheaper dollar from CBN nobody hear pim from his mouth. Capitalist, always feel threatened once they sense relieved is coming towards the masses.

tragergeorge:
food wen them give you since on Friday for party..you keep am till Saturday before you enter road de go Benin..

Sunday morning you de snap rubbish de post

mtchew

God will forgive whoever posted this to tarnish the name of the event organizer. No one will serve this at a party, they would rather announce that food has finished.

This is a serious affront on Nigeria. Agreed there is a violation of the airspace, which is not intended to cause any harm to their country but to restore peace to Benin Republic.

The deployment was directed by ECOWAS Security and Mediation Commission. What is both ECOWAS or Nigeria Foreign Affairs Minister doing to secure their release within 48 hours.
We are beginning to loose respect we once commanded in the subregion and amongst fellow African countries.

This people are looking for random excuses to justify failure. A huge investment had been made by Nigeria government in the past on Satellite for communication purposes. The military equally upgrade their signal and intelligent gathering equipment annually with huge provision in defense budget.
When you have challenges of this nature, seek for help from Israel, US or other developed countries how they managed to beat terrorists to their technology and carry out successful attacks and decimate them.

If they can not do the job, it is better to resign and stop talking nonsense and offending our sensibility.

Dogalmighty17:
On the face of it, this should be a genius political move. If fubara plays it right, he becomes Tinubu's point man in River's state. This will effectively clip Wike's wings. But fubara lacks gravitas and chutzpah. The kind of thing that made Tinubu seek out Wike.

The APC machinery in River's state is Fubara's to control now. Does he have the ability? Will Wike control the machinery of both the APC or the PDP? If he does, then Fubara's decamping is useless.

Mr Odenson Governor. This gutless and imbecilic Governor without charisma and ruggedity of Nigerian politicians that is not sure of his own second term yet is promising someone else. Either in APC or PDP Wike structure is solidly on ground.

You better no you your gutter mouth anyhow make trailer no go jam you.

muyico:
Is executive order
Juciary can't challenge it

Go and read the judgement. The lead judge said it is improper for the Executive to exercise any prerogative power since the case is still pending before the supreme court.

Whenever a case is still active before any court, it is prejudicial to take any step or action not prescribed by the court.

We are yet to get the real price per liter of refined petroleum products. The imported fuel being used since Dangote Refinery began production is being manipulated to fix his selling price.
Let 2 or more refineries come onboard and you will see market force and competition force down the price.
Dangote hates competition and the moment he sense competition he goes hay wire because of the resources at his disposal and connection in lobbying government policy.

Judolisco:
I checked mine last week it was 180/115....doctor gats nack me labetalol to calm it down.... It's important to check... Infact na God save me and I'm in my 20's o.... As we dey work make we also dey rest oh.....especially in d night...

It is on the high side. The is ideal number is 120/80, 60.
Please get a BP monitor to be checking twice or thrice every week.
You need to seek medical advice for how to bring it down. Prevention they say is better than cure.

This statistics is as useless as the speaker. What impact has the convictions on the overall security in the country.
In fact, if the financiers, enablers and supporters of religious extremists and terrorists are tried and convicted, we would not be where we are today.

Nigeria is a prosperous nation blessed with abundant human and natural resources right from the military era till date with a sound economy before APC regime took over in 2015.
Even the economic policies introduced under Buhari and Tinubu administration impoverished Nigerians and made it a mini hell while politicians are the only beneficiaries of this maladministration.

Dididrumz:
This man is obviously a lost man at the moment.

He's gone.

Tuface has lost every sense of proper reasoning. A relationship of less than a year and marriage contracted less than 6 months has started having trouble that the whole world is aware about. It is too early joh. This guy needs serious prayer to break the yoke upon his life or else God forbid...

I heard the wife even said he is taking his music career too serious. The music that brought him fame and fortune.

This idiot should keep shut because he is not making sense at all.
He is trying to give excuse or justify consistent failures. If they are given performance target and well spelt out consequences for failure to achieve target with timelines you will continue to hear such silly excuses. Assuming they demote some of them after 6 months or relieved of the position they will call for strategy meetings and fashion out a solution to the security challenges. What is the essence of both local and foreign done with tax payers money.
