My advice to President Bola Tinubu is to activate the "fines and sanctions" mechanism of Governance against these rogues in the petroleum sector.. one thing I have observed over the years is the absence of sanctions in the Nigerian Governance system. It's the reason inflation is taking over and petrol prices are being hiked.

President Tinubu should charge the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) alongside the FCCPC to draw up heavy fines for corporate entities (new or existing) operating in Nigeria. When I mean fines, I'm talking of billions of naira for erring firms to be reconsidered and reinstated as legally recognized business entity in Nigeria.

This I'm afraid is the only way to restore order in Nigeria's business environment.. from a Yoruba to another Yoruba man, this is the only solution as far as Nigeria is concerned.

Check well, you'll see he's one of those who rely on expo and other forms of exam malpractice to pass exams.
A truly educated person knows it's not entirely about using degrees to secure white collar jobs, it's the knowledge and awareness that comes with education that's the joy of it all.

I don't know why Yorubas are still allowing this nonsense.. I think people should start letting them know who owns Lagos and where Lagos belongs.
How on earth will a tribe that has no linkage to Lagos, nor share any border with the State be asking that it shouldn't be part of South West. If that isn't deliberate act of provocation, then what is?

That's the greed and deception we have been talking about.. they want their Eastern region the way it was before but do not want Yorubas to have their State (Lagos State) back as it used to e because according to them, all tribes in Nigeria built it. Please are they the mouthpiece of the "all tribes" that built Lagos for them to be making sich demands?.

Hmmn.. Yorubas we need to wake up.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Correct me if i’m wrong, but aren’t both the gubernatorial candidate for NDC in Lagos and his running mate Yoruba? So who is ‘taking’ Lagos and from whom!?

Who told you that the NDC Lagos Governorship candidate is Yoruba?.
Why are all the House of Reps candidates for Lagos Igbos if not to take Lagos. Is Lagos an Igbo State for it to be having Igbo reps?

See NDC State Chairman standing his ground.. whereas some w0ke Yoruba people will be following their NDC from top to bottom nonsense, not knowing it's all a ploy for them to take Lagos.

South East is not solely Igbos.. Anambra is largely Igala, just that the few Igbos there have suprressed other ethnic groups native to Anambra, Imo and likes.

It's funny how one tribe in the South East is now trying to claim all other tribes as being part of them.
Just imagine an Hausa person coming to claim me (a Yoruba) as Hausa. That's exactly what those Igbos are doing. To think these ones are the educated ones should tell Nigerians that there is problem.

You didn't talk of house rent and school fees.. self contain in places like Apo-Lokogoma is around 1.2million to 1.5million per year.
Infact you'll hardly get a single room in Abuja outskirts like Maraba, Nyanya or even Kubwa below 800k. Yet your politicians are paying workers peanuts as Salary and are expecting Labour not to protest.
A salary that can't take you through half of the month, talk more of paying your rents and children school fess is nonsense.

wediehere1:
seconded
There are many more of them

They cheat, they lie, they slander.. there is nothing they can't do to pull Yorubas down.
The President had a taste of their defamation with the LekkiLies and claims of massacre that never happened.

The era of Yorubas keeping quiet while aggressors roam free is gone. Now it's to chop off the wings of any evil vulture.

Umahi should stop playing to the gallery.. the Agulu fraud will get 99% of South East votes in 2027 even if it involves them rigging or harassing voters like we saw in 2023.
South East has no influence on who becomes President, so Umahi should park himself one side

Lock her up and throw the keys away.. such a vile creature deserves no pity.

Such policy isn't sustainable.. what next after the 30 days? back to square one.
We need price control.

FG should consider more of PPP arrangements for new refineries to come on stream, since the public ones have been sabotaged. Stop relying on Dangote to provide fuel for you, he is just a businessman like anyone else selling in the markets, not your saviour.

It was their plan all along to blackmail the President with banditry and kidnappings in the North West.. I'm glad the President sent a clear message that no room for such nonsense in the South West with how the Oyo incident was handled.

I remember how Gumi was busy mediating between terrorists and Buhari's govt , now there is no room for such.
Nigeria shall rise again.

The ownership of Lagos is clear as day.. Lagos belongs to Yoruba people.

The reason some miscreants wanted to rewrite history of Lagos was because a tiny part of Lagos State served as Federal Capital for Nigeria till a new capital city was built (Abuja). It's why we are telling our Yoruba people to wake up and stop handing benefits to outsiders in Lagos State.
Lagos has reverted to a full Yoruba State since over 2 decades, yet still our people keep allowing external influence in Lagos politics. It's not patriotism but self-sabotage. These outsiders occupy seat meant for Yorubas at Federal level, but still vote against anything that'll favour Lagos and Yorubaland in the National Aseembly So tell me how that is "liberalism" if not self destruction.

Lagos (Ilu Eko) is not for sale.. ring in in their ears, let it sink into their heads.

It's not in your place to protect Yoruba culture because you are not one of us . go to Anambra and contest for Governorship there, Lagos is off limits.

Yorubas don't issue death threats to fellow Yorubas who for reasons best known to them decide to support their enemies like some people do..
Ramsey Noah is free to support whoever he likes, provided he is not infringing on right of other Yorubas to vote and be voted for.

For the record, he is half Yoruba, but of Lebanese origin (father side). Since he was born in Lagos and has one parent of Nigerian root, he is qualified to identify as a Yoruba and a Nigerian.

DaddyJapan:
It is one thing to question GRV's political leanings,but quite another to indulge in the sort of historical revisionism that anyone with a modicum of objectivity should find contemptuous. Worse still, it reframes the heinous transatlantic slave trade in a way that apportions blame to the victim.

You can do better than this.

My statement is that iof FACT.. he is not Yoruba, instead a descendant of slaves returned to Africa, but dumped in Lagos by Portuguese. Such an individual can't come and be claiming Lagosian when in truth his ancestors might not even be Nigerians.
When he said he doesn't think in Yoruba, I didn't take offense because he has no reason to, since he isn't Yoruba.

Just like Sowore and so many of them roaming the political space today, they don't have any linkage or roots to Yoruba ancestry.

Deepthoughts:
I don't agree with you,a FTZ or EPZ are just economic strategies within a country,they only enjoys tax holidays for some time,dangote is not stopping anyone from importing, it's not a must for dangote to sell to importers after all dangote is sourcing a large portion of his crude feed stock from outside Nigeria which is an irony n a big shame,dangote has done his best it's up to the Nigerian government to do the needfu,if the government fails due to corruption or plain incompetence dangote should not be blamed please.

Free Zones were originally designed for export only, reason they are regarded as not within Nigeria's custom's territory, don't pay taxes and are not subject to checks and fines by Nigerian regulations. It's people like Dangote that bastardized the whole thing after cheating the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
If you want to talk of true local refineries, you'll pick the ones outside the Free Zones that comply with Nigerian laws.

Isobug:
Can he speak Yoruba? Because they said as GRV can't speak a clear cut Yoruba it automatically means he's not Yoruba. But I surely Know this one will be fully dubbed a Yoruba even though his father is Lebanese but if he mistakenly declare support for either of Atiku or Obi the story will change overnight.
That's what political and Tri...bal bigotry have done to us

That IP0B agent you mentioned is not Yoruba.. his mother is Igbo and his father is a descendant of returnee slave dumped by Portuguese on the shores of Lagos. He might not even have true Nigerian roots.

Can you speak Yotuba language?.. or you sef follow for those wey dey call Yoruba people af0njas, but all of a suuden wants to govern Lagos State?

The Agulu fraud can only meet with miscreants in Trade fair, no true Yoruba person will grant him audience to say this trash

The same people boasting that 'Lagos economy will collapse if they leave Lagos' have suddenly changed mouth to 'Lagos can't attract foreign investors if they are maltreated'.
The foreign investors are already here and they are here to stay. I million Obis can't ask Chinese to leave Lagos market. He is a nobody in Yorubaland.

See what Yoruba carelessness has turned Lagos to.. a State that used to be very well organized up till 80s' and early 90s' now turned something of ridicule by foreign nations.

We warned of the dangers associated with checked lnflux of migrants and refugees. Now look at the tag it's getting from other nations.

Deepthoughts:
I agree totally with dangote on this,after all dangote is not stopping anyone from importing but if you insist on importing,then import n subject your imported products for standard checks ,if the corrupt systems compromise itself it's not dangote's fault but don't go to dangote to buy in large bulk for blending, international treaties, agreement n deals are broken always but that hasn't cause the world to end,I wonder why the Nigerian government can't renegotiate whatever deal they made with Nigeria's crude uptakers to ensure dangote gets enough feed stock to produce n sell to Nigerians at affordable prices,just about everything is corrupted in this country.

You're wrong.. according to extant laws, Dangote petrol is the same thing as imported petrol because his refinery is located in a Free Zone, not within Nigeria's Customs territory.

The man is deceitful, dishonourable and plain wicked. If not, he knows he has no right to claim his refinery is a Nigeria project by law.

Why is President Tinubu not doing anything to checkmate this wicked monopolist called Dangote?.. for crying out loud, he is the Minister of Petroleum and should be able to take a stand on the oil and gas sector of Nigeria.

Nigerians are doing "I don't care" about this Dangote nonsense now.. You people will cry las las and by then things would have gone beyond repairs.

The wicked man from his antecedents only want to exploit Nigerians to gain wealth (where he plans to take all the wealth to is what I don't know). Look at cement, salt, flour etc. he is always looking for monopoly, to be the only one dictating prices while pushing inferior-quality products into the market.

Nigerians wake up now before it gets too late.

Nigeria is not the property of Dangote family that others would be denied access to do business in key economic sectors. Hmmn, you people will buy petrol at #3,000 per litre with the way this man is going.

The Northerners are worthy allies, especially Hausas.. reason President Tinubu might get majority of the votes in the entire North.

Instead of Yorubas too to be rallying support for our own, they will sit down and be looking, while some Yoruba haters go about demarketing the President right inside Yorubaland. Speaks volume.about how weak our people have become.

Your epistle is too long abeg.. got tired reading it.
From the part I read, it seems you were desperate for marriage, you married a user not a lover.
I have seen cases like this play out. you'll be paying house rent, paying children schoolfess, buying foodstuffs till when you eventually get tired or maybe you become incapacitated. Then the user you married as husband will abandon you for other women while you'll be left to carry your cross alone.

The scam you people are in that you call marriage.

It seems these people don't know the implications of what they are doing.. to them it's as if they are dragging Lagos with Yorubas who own the land but in reality, they are setting their race up for future slavery and extinction.

A time will come when Yorubas will take back every benefits and privileges handed to outsiders in Yorubaland, by then these ones would have all died, leaving their offsprings fate hanging on the balance.

When we say they should go home and develop, they call it hate speech, but in actual sense it's wisdom disguised as advice.
Any Yoruba cheering these folks on to keep coveting Lagos is their biggest enemy. Lagos is going nowhere, before Nigeria came into existence, it was Yorubaland and it will continue to be Yorubaland till eternity.

It's only a fo.0lish man that will keep eyeing another man's lands and properties when he has his own rotting away.

Rant all you want.. the Chinese are here to stay.
We say NO to "EXPLOITATION" under guise of trading.

The Chinese are welcome to sell their goods in our market at fair and competitive prices.. just like other Africans be it Ghanians, Togolese etc. are welcome to open businesses in Nigeria.

If the Chinese are employing Yoruba youths whereas the miscreants crying are not.. what rights do they have to ask Chinese to leave Yoruba-owned markets in the South West?.
Anyone that is not comfortable should relocate to his/her home region or betterstill hug transformer.

Complete waste of money.. can someone tell us the economic benefit of the first niger brdge?
Money they could have invested in other projects that'll reduce hardship faced by Nigerians
