Anybody still supporting that Agulu fraud is a confirmed enemy of Nigeria.
A man that likes cutting corners, likes telling bare faced lies and has no empathy for human lives can't be President of this great nation.

@OP You should have asked that your cousin to give you money so you can opt for plate of fufu in a restaurant.
You buying fufu to eat the catfish is not proper.. in the midst of guests for that matter (ladies that can gossip for Africa).

Your cousin has every right to be upset because what you did didn't make sense atal.

Yorubas started Nollywood, we had stage plays, theatre etc. before your tribe became civilized.
South West leads in everything and still leads till date.

Ungrateful bunch.. had it been we were as clannish as your folks, will any of you make name in Lagos talk more of getting any global recognition?.

Duru should rest.. your so called entrepreneurs were busy running piracy syndicate, making it hard for hard working Yoruba actors and movie producers to earn profit.
Now the game has changed, the digital age has shown clearly those with the talent, breaking records and raking in billions, likes of Funke Akindele, Kunle Afolayan etc.

She should socialize na.. you can't sit on high horse and be blaming guys for keeping distance.

Cattle rearing business is a private business, not government's business.. the Fulani herders should acquire lands like other Nigerians do for the purpose of ranching.

No State should surrender land for cattle ranching because of one herder-farmer clashes.. if not for prejudice and injustice, any herder caught attacking farms ought to be prosecuted and jailed, not demanding that States surrender lands for them to ranch.

Walahi if na person like me be President, people go too see shege.. I so hate injustice.

WizardOfNG:
Indeed. This is a guy who deliberately played politics of tribalism, whipping up ethnic hatred sentiment, presenting Ngige as "Yoruba candidate" when he ran under Tinubu's ACN Party to become a Senator in Anambra.

Obi and co went as far as printing and spreading posters of Ngige with Awolowo to deliberately prejudice the electorate while they created poster of the APGA candidate with Ojukwu.

Lack of political sophistication is the problem of Nigerians otherwise it will be obvious Obi is not even 1% fit to be President of Nigeria.

Attimes I wonder why he wasn't invited to face ICC at the Hague for his "religious war" outburst. Such a divisive fellow has no business being in politics talk more of a delicate position as President of a diverse multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria.

Happy Nigerians are not animals, happiness is a state of the mind and whoever chooses to be happy and keep positive mindset has every right to do so.

Sanwo Eko.. one of the best Governors to ever preside over the affairs of Lagos State.

I remember predicting landslide victory for him in the last Governorship election when he won with wide margin. Kudos to the people's Governor.

Next for him is Federal Service.. Nigeria needs capable hands to move the country forward.

@OP Islamic extremism and banditry go hand in hand.. so technically Gumi is actively involved in and responsible for the banditry and terrorism going on in Nigeria.

A Government that's serious about rooting out terrorism wouldn't spare Gumi or other extremist clerics like him.
General Lucky Irabor said it that people like Gumi shouldn't be walking around freely in the country.. do you know more than him or have you served in the capacity that he did before retirement?

helinues:
I was initially thinking Peter Obi has a dementia but considering how horrible his supporters who are still young , lots are wrong with their thinking faculty

Imagine one of his supporters below

It's their nature.. most Yorubas who haven't shared space or worked with them are the ones falling for their fake love and one Nigeria bullcrap. I prefer to roll with a muslim Northerner beacuse they can be objective and fair on their good days.

I don't see anybody from that side becoming President ever.. they just don't have what it takes.

The House of Reps seat in Ajeromi-Ifelodun is for Yorubas who are indigenes of Lagos.. It's like the Yoruba leaders in Lagos are sleeping, you people should not let Lagos go up in flames with your stupidity.
Enough said.

Atiku has sealed his own fate.. we might likely see him losing massively in the North come 2027.
There are some things you don't just say to score cheap points.

Nigeria would have collapsed if not for PBAT's strong reforms and hard decisions he had to take. Most political actors in other parties are gradually coming out to support him because they know his worth and capabilities.

He is finally revealing his true nature.. devil's incarnate.
If not for blind tribalism, who in his/her right senses will pray for such a divisive and wicked ethno-religious bigot to be President of Nigeria.

Seeing this reminds me of how guys on Nairaland bait and lure ladies back in the days.. once the ladies see money and false claim of wealth, they instantly want to connect and become friends.

The boy is very fo0.lish.. if a woman cheats, discard her and move on. Why take laws into your own hands as if that will reverse the cheating?
Maintain your composure, end the relationship and focus on your personal growth till you meet a worthy person.

Big miss..

Still dressing like a toddler at his age shows something is not right.

@OP I see what you are trying to do, which is very good as it will help your child a lot.

In this era of "la cram la pour" and AI, it takes real ingenuity to be able to study or read something and explain in your own terms, in clear, correct, concrete and complete manner.
While la cram la pour can earn a student grades at secondary school level or Bachelors level, you'll need more to achieve excellence at Masters and Doctorate level when you'd be dealing with Professors who have mastered their respective fields of study.

Atiku don mess up.. you can't return petroleum subsidy to destabilize the economy that is already performing well with stable FX rates and other economic growth indices. The discussion now should be about renewable energy e.g. solar, hyydro, geo-thermal, bio and non- biological origins or even nuclear power, not return to petroleum subsidy that the world is already phasing out.

Someone should wake Atiku up that we are in 2026.. CNG, electric vehicles, hydrogen powered vehicles, etc. are the real deal.

It's everywhere in the Capital city.. so nice yet so underrated.

Farewell Taiwo Hassan a.k.a Ogogo..
Death is a price every mortal must pay.

@OP Did you know that it's very simple to fix all those things you listed?.. but those benefitting from the injustice and rot in the system won't allow you block their source of ill-gotten wealth.
This is why Nigerians should be wary of Atiku.. it's like those oil sector cabals profiting from petroleum subsidy are trying hard to return Nigeria to the era of subsidy payments where they made excess money at the detriment of the masses.

Nigeria has a people problem, hence the problem of leadership because it's from the people that the leaders are selected.
We are just bad and wicked to ourselves in this part of the world. No other way to explain it

I don tire to dey chook mouth for this Agulu man matter..
If only I had the power, I would have deregistered his party and erased his name from INEC server. I don't tolerate bullshlt.

Obilikom:
Flokii are you the one saying this?

I forgive you , I was thinking you were one of those on ya mandate people

I forgive you my bro

It's just unfortunate that we have the crop of politicians treating issues of national security with kids gloves.
Ideally, anything kidnapping or terrorism should not have a place in a country with functional Government, by Government, I mean the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislature. Any Government that sits and watch such crimes unfolding should automatically have zero as score card.

The primary responsibility of a Government is first to the citizens by way of absolute security.. all others e.g. roads, power etc. are secondary. I hope our leaders will sit up and start facing the real issues posing existential threat to this great nation.

It has reduced because the rescue of the kidnapped Oyo school children and teachers showed that the FG can locate, arrest and kill every single one of those kidnappers (with their family members) if there is the political will to do so.

I expect the Reps members and Senators in National Assembly to push a bill to make "death penalty" the punishment for kidnapping in Nigeria. By so doing, anyone venturing into kidnapping will know beforehand that he has signed his death warrant, as he will definitely be killed when caught.
Do you think those kidnappers and bandits too want to die?.. why are they doing all those criminal activities in the first place if not to make money so they can flex the ill-gotten money with their girlfriends, wives, concubines, etc.,
I saw a clip tecently of one Fulani girl going to buy Iphone 17 latest model with raw cash.. that shows decay in the system. The security agencies ought to have traced that girl, interrogate her and arrest all those she is working for.
It's really sad that this country has gone to the dogs. Things that should raise suspicion and public outcry have been normalized as if we are in an animal farm.

Atiku is still stuck in the past.. his knowledge about the petroleum sector is surface-level.
He wants to reverse subsidy removal and take us back to era of wastefulness, smuggling, oil theft, etc.

PBAT is far far better no doubt.. but my own concern is why the President has refused to checkmate likes of Dangote exploiting Nigerians while the Government regulatory and consumer protection agencies continue to look away. Cement that is locally produced in Nigeria is now #15,000 per bag and nobody is saying anything. BUA wanted to reduce cement price but Dangote refused, just because it will break his monopoly over the cement sector.

My advice to President Tinubu is that he should look into critical sectors like cement (for housing and real estate) and break every form of monopoly in the market currently. He should bring up a team for "Price control" as this is what has been lacking to regulate prices of goods and commodities in the market. In cases where the manufacturers refuse to reduce the price of commodities so Nigerians can get commensurate value for what they are paying for, they should allow importation. Infact as it stands, the FG should relax all ban on importation in some key sectors to increase competition and bring down prices.

Nigeria is becoming too hard for the common man, even basic amenities are no longer affordable. What this translates to is higher crime rates, higher rates of prostitution, insecurity and all sorts of negative vices.
Mr. President we are counting on you to save the housing sector in Nigeria. Cement shouldn't sell above #8,000 because all the raw materials used to produce the cement are sourced locally in Nigeria.

I'm not impressed.. as big as Nigeria is, we ought to have a train manufacturing/ assembly plant, not going to import refurbished trains from China.

We need to wake up and start using our heads... we can't continue in this manner while the Chinese mock us for being import-dependent with zero brain, zero value addition.

Why is President Tinubu's administration not taking drastic actions against these Northern politicians sponsoring terrorism and banditry in the North?.. it was Katsina State Governor that got exposed for sending terrorists to Saudi for Hajj with tax payer's money, the tax we law abiding citizens pay is what the Northerners are using to pay and fund trips for terrorists to go abroad. Isn't that absurd?

Now a Senator has been exposed for housing bandits and acquiring Nigerian passports for bandits so they can use tax payer's money to send them abroad.. like what is really going on in this country??

Is it now a crime to be law abiding in Nigeria?.. or tell me why the President isn't taking actions against these acts of sabotage and treason against the Nigerian State by politicians from North.

If a Southerner does something, not as bad as what Northerners are doing.. you'll see Police everywhere going out full commando style, but here are Northerners acting badly but the security agencies are turning blind eye as if they are untouchable.

Mr. President, this is not what we voted for.. every law breaker should be prosecuted and made to face the full wrath of the law. This is not fair to law abiding Nigerians.

Wike should be called to order.. he is risking the lives of Abuja residents through his reckless actions. Reports have it that all the drainage pathways and green areas in Abuja have been sold off by Wike and buildings are being erected in those areas.
This is totally unacceptable and a recipe for disaster in future.. apart from flooding, earth tremors, earthquakes and other natural disasters can start happening. Let's not forget the climate change wahala, the global warming and melting of ice caps.

Wike should not endanger people's lives because of money. Abuja's master plan must be adhered to and all land approvals issued on the green areas in the FCT should be revoked.
The unenlightened ones might be asking, is it not flood, what is the big deal?.. It's a big deal because it poses serious health risks and can spread life-threatening disease through spread of microbes, medical wastes, wastes from landfills and other harmful chemicals and substances that might be injurious to human health.

Instead of selling up all the lands in Abuja, neighboring border towns like Suleja, Dikko, Nasarawa, etc. should be opened up to investors and link roads built to those places. It doesn't make sense to build luxury in one place only to end up with tegrets when disaster hits. Safety first.

@OP You can't use North Korea and South Korea as example.. Nigeria's case is different.
You can liken ours to the former Soviet Union that collapsed in 1991 with about fifteen countries emerging, likes of Russia and Ukraine.

Northern Nigeria has over 200 tribes with different languages and cultures while Southern Nigeria has over 150 tribes with different languages and cultures as well. It's still like going back to square one, reason restructuring and return to regional system is the best.

It's quite unfortunate that the FCT Minister has decided to be selling off green areas and designated water channels in Abuja.. this is what you get when you ignore engineers, surveyors, town planners etc to be taking careless decisions for selfish gains and personal enrichment.

In 8-10years from now, Abuja might become a complete eyesore if they don't stop indiscriminate sales of lands outside the Abuka master plan.

Are you saying those that designed the city initially don't know what they are doing?.. or is it you that came yesterday that knows everything??.
It's the same way they spoilt Lagos that they have started with Abuja.
