EagleSquare1:
How about also prioritising Education, Health, Transportation and

I agree.. the Health sector especially is key.

Very much expected.. Umahi is still one of the loyal APC faithfuls that stood by Akpabio.

Cooly100:
I see you cowardly omitted the people from Ilorin emirate?

When will you send Asari to help you, so you can carry out your fetish festival

Kwara is a Yoruba state but Ilorin is like melting point for different tribes including Fulanis. There are other places like Edu in same Kwara state that house the Nupes (tapas) and more.

Kwara is still very peaceful than any of your 5 SE states and that should be your main concern.. how a multi-tribal state like Kwara can be far more peaceful than your so much exalted South Eastern states.

Na Wike nomination dey pain dem so.. H.E Nyesom Wike should sing "as e dey sweet us, e dey pain dem" on the day of his Ministerial confirmation.

See my baby Oshoala.. It's a good feeling seeing her excel at world stage.
Talents just full Nigeria anyhow.

They should scrap Humanitarian and Disaster Ministry and return the workers there to VP or SGF Office. the top priorities should be Finance, Industry and Defense.

Lord knows I won't rest till the two dogs turn cripple.. I'll make sure I break like 2 out of 4 legs they have.

Makes sense.. H.E Nyesom Wike is a true Niger Deltan so he will have a strong hold of Niger Delta Affairs.

I just like this Putin man, dunno why.
The guy loves Russia and loves his people no doubt.
If only African leaders can emulate him and stop acting like prostitutes to all and sundry.

Niger republic people really had a swell time siphoning Nigeria's common wealth.. they should probe this Nigeria Air very well alongside the money racketeering of Emefiele.

Anyone with questionable citizenship or ties with neighboring countries should forget presidency in Nigeria going forward cos it won't fly.

PBAT should ask Niger republic to bring money for the railway entering their country else they forget it.. there are pressing issues that need money in Nigeria, not some railway to a third world country.

For that to happen.. we need to redesign our access roads to have bicycle routes else those crazy drivers will end up knocking so many bicycle riders down on the major roads.

Na people like Asari fit IPOBs.. those that will speak in the language they understand, not the overly soft ones in Lagos allowing nitwits to be derepping them in their own state.

No Lagos?.. I see Mr. Ambode coming.

The Jagaban of Africa truly knows politics.

Congratulations to H.E Nyesom Wike.. From Rivers to Federal Cabinet to the World. The kind trips wey the man go enjoy for Federal ehnn.

FFK most lilely opted out of Ministerial post.. there are other juicy appointments he can select from e.g Ambassador to one correct country where he'll go and chilax.

The person I am really happy for is Wike, the man made a tough decision that has finally paid off. The likes of Ortom that queued behind Obi are nowhere near politics today.

Big moral lesson.. no permanent friend or foe in politics, just interests, so don't go about hurting others over politicians.

What are you people planning bayi?.. abeg let Igbos be, allow them breathe.

helinues:
The 2 statements are contradictory

Nope.. they are not.

Government won't give you money but will put right policies in place for ease of doing business with the hope that the Nigerian workforce benefits on the long run.

The livestock farmers have been looking for advantage other sectors don't get. They don't want ranching and don't want government policy that bans open grazing. I hope you can connect the dots.

helinues:
Would the international treaties affect us from improving our clothing and shoe industry, apart from Aso Ebi, some people can't even remember the last time they bug a new cloth apart from okrika. Imagine second hand pants, bras, boxers short. Hahaha, what exactly is our problem?

Importation kills local manufacturers and local industries..

Reason most sensible Nigerians especially in SW rejected likes of Peter Obi at the polls who are pro- importation.
PBAT at a time referred to Obi as "Mr Warehouse economy who knows nothing else but to import".

The power to revive all those sectors lie with the Ministry of Industry and economy.. the foreigners are tactically funding the Trade side of that Ministry, neglecting the Industry wing cos their interests lie with trading of their own products from overseas.. It's left for Nigerian government to fully empower the Industry wing of that very important Ministry of government for things to work and for employment opportunities to spring up within Nigeria.

helinues:
Is it mandatory for us to import some particular products because of international treaties? If we decided to be producing what we need by ourselves, why should anyone question us?

Like I said earlier, you can't stop importation completely but you can discourage it by promoting local content, local manufacturing and local patronage of made in Nigeria goods and services..
It's a complex something sha.. you can check Customs website for items classification, HS codes with their import duty and levy. It's called Fiscal Policy and is reviewed every 5 years if I'm correct.

The world is now a global village.. our destinies are intertwined with other nationalities.. Good example is the subsidy removal in Nigeria that has affected the whole of West Africa.

helinues:
Why should we be importing ordinary fish and turkey which we can start the production here. Almost all sectors need government intervention.

The second hand cloth, If we no dey import already made Aso Ebi, what's stopping us from our tailor sewing the clothes we wear, same goes to shoes

Those are wastage of forex

Nigeria is signatory to so many international treaties like AU, ECOWAS, OPEC et al. So nohow to completely stop importation of goods (even those produced within Nigeria) cos of free movement already signed by government. You saw what border closure almost caused for us with condemnations left, right and centre.

Nigerians too are not helping matters.. you'll see Nigerian millionaires and billionaires who prefer to "japa" and go live among racists abroad than invest in Nigeria.. the opportunities they are leaving behind in Nigeria have been hijacked by foreigners who are now cashing out big time. The African free trade agreement will allow them export goods to other African countries (about 54 countries) while Nigerias are there packing oyinbo shlt in UK, US and Canada because of foreign currency.. Slave mentality I tell you.

budaatum:
Was Buhari this bad, or should I be asking if Buhari was not worse?

Perhaps it's time for #EndDSS.

You try it first and see.. for them to release your corpse (which we don't pray happens) to your family go be issue.

Livestock business is a private business for God sake.. FG should not give undue advantage to those into livestock farming.

If you must farm livestock, then do so in a confined space like ranch or fenced area so the animals don't stray into other people's properties. It's that simple.
I don't understand all the ceremony and plenty talk over livestock farming.

No I won't.. I'll just use the exit and go elsewhere

Fear government abeg.. see big man of yesterday that wanted to curb vote buying.
This life!

@OP He wasn't arrrested.. Stop spreading lies.

They manhandled him which could have been avoided had it been the correctional officers allowed due process in transfer of detainee.

Yes, though I wasn't the one driving but was at the front seat beside the driver. The man was a driver with experience, immediately he noticed the failed brakes, he didn't accelerate but was using the hand brake to gradually slow down the car. Thank God he wasn't speeding at the time.

Cooly100:
National what...?

Hahahahaha..

How many killer herdsmen have they arraigned?

Maybe you don't know everything you do is being monitored, your travels, hotel check-ins etc. as far as you're within the shores of Nigeria.
How many herders killings have you heard of late?

Power has changed hands.

Live and let others live.. only a greedy person will have that "dominate other tribes" mindset. If you are okay with what you have, you won't think of encroaching on other people's rights.

The average Yoruba person is okay with his/her peace.. all other things are secondary.

Ala ti o le se.. you want to disband the secret police in Nigeria responsible for national security?

The woman no get sense.. her own is to be defending evil.
We all remember the Chibok girls issue she was using to make noise back then, just recently we heard about 10 Igbo girls were killed by Ipobs to make juju, the hypocrite was silent. Every monday sit at homes in the East, she won't say anything but let one small headline come out from other regions, she'll start running mouth again. Is it that kind of person you'll take serious??

I feel Prof. Mahmoud made the mistake of not delisting Obi right from the onset.. One major attribute of failures/losers is that they always want others to fail and be like them no matter what.

Don't be surprised Obi and his followers are well aware that he lost the 2023 elections but the thought of a Yoruba man in person of PBAT winning is making life unbearable for them. Left for them, Atiku that came second should be declared winner.

BoldBrainz:
Imagine DSS and Prisons officials fighting and tearing uniforms on National television. No decorum whatsoever. Like touts in one of Oluomo's garages in Lagos.

God oo !

The correctional guy is even lucky the DSS men didn"t open fire.. who knows maybe stray bullet for hit Emefiele make he kaput.

The correctional officers goofed big time.. they ought to know DSS can't just release Mr. Emefiele outrightly, there are steps and documentation that will take place first before his transfer to correctional services.

I feel Emefiele's lawyers had it all planned to make sure their client leaves DSS custody today today.. It doesn't work that way
