The FCT Minister, under Buhari, is the worst in history. That man should be tried for gross under performance. He was so uninspiring throughout his tenure with nothing to show. Very inactive and unconcerned fellow. Buhari didn't even noticed and allowed him complete an 8 years tenure. I was in Abuja in December and I was marvelled at the extent of rehabilitation of the city. Wike may be playing some dangerous politics but he is far better than other politicians that have held the same office he is holding or have held in the past, including the governor of Rivers state. He is arguably, the best governor of Rivers state since the birth of the fourth Republic

Curious345:
Lol Igbo + Fulani combo ,will Definetly unseat Yoruba ; any day - anytime

Dumb statement!!!. Which combo?

chopnaira:
That man would completely destroy his opponent whenever an election is called.

- Bachelors from Havard (Economics)
- MSc and PhD from Oxford (Economics)
- Governor Bank of Canada
- Governor Bank of England
- The man also has 4 honorary docorate. 3 of them in law and 1 in business from Top universities.
- He has 3 nationalities - Canadian, British, and Irish.
- Speaks English and French fluently.

Whoever did this comparison is wicked

See Pierre's face

Atiku will soon join him there.

PDP is making it impossible for Atiku to get control of the party. All Atiku and Elrufai loyalists will move to SDP.

On a second thought, El rufai may be the guy to play the spoiler for the opposition to ensure success for APC.

SDP may be another special purpose vehicle of APC to divide opposition party. Respect to PBAT

This is part of hopelessness Nigerians have on the future prosperity of this country. The whole essence of birth tourism is for the parents to give their children hope for the future, as they believed that Nigeria, as it is, cannot guarantee a brighter future for the upcoming generations of Nigerians.

If Palestinians had accepted the Israeli rule and maintained peace in the years past, Palestine would have been far more developed than now. There is no need fighting over the so called homeland that they cannot develop. Israel would have supported both the physical and human capital development of Palestine, if Palestine had accepted full Israeli sovereignty and rule. This is just my personal opinion.

Stupid picture.

Solar panels and energy are the safest means of electricity generation and transmission. I have been using Solar since 2015. Nothing comes close to clean energy.

We should stop this habit of bashing our Nigerian women. Millions of nigerians are married to Nigerian women without any problems. Some have lived abroad with their Nigerian wives without any issue. The only thing I agreed with the write-up is the behaviour of nigerians regarding sharing of "progressive " information on jobs and opportunities. I don't know why this is ingrained in our DNA. Some have made it a habit NOT to share some information that would benefit their friends, thinking that the friends will soon become more successful than them. I witnessed that during my stay in UK. People would rather share fliers about their church programmes with you than inform you about a recent recruitment going on in their organisation or elsewhere. Though, not all nigerians. Many are also good in providing leads on jobs and opportunities.

I've seen a preacher and full praise band with chairs inside a market. I was shocked

They came for a mini crusade.

Supported!!!

Some will see him as an unbeliever. We have tragically destroyed the essence of Christianity in this part of the world. Those people preaching are their to collect the little the traders have, as there would be sowing of seeds at the end of their preaching. Everything in their preaching is commercialised and the preachers have perfected the use of "guilt-tripping" strategy to cage the traders and the uninformed.

nairavsdollars:
Why not use banks and other good businesses? Why bend down select?

This is just to show you that the Nigerian economy is largely informal. If the same Chatham wants to show Singaporean or Thai economy, they will use high skyscraper, indicating an economy dominated by the real and formal sectors.

Buhari stayed in Daura for his new mansion in kaduna to be completed. Now that it has been completed, he relocated back to kaduna. That house there looks new and minted.

This is not uncommon with the nigerian politicians. Some pay their children's undergraduate fees abroad for the duration of the program, with a proviso that they will pay the school extra fee if the school fees increases within the duration of the four year undergraduate programme

The simplicity of the office for me. See how simple, neat and sharp the place is. Our typical government office here would be filled with ugly looking furniture and cabinets with thick curtains, occupying precious space with sycophants hangers-on staff looking at the men that are having discussions

Sundaymessi:
Some of you can be a very big joke. No state of emergency can make you to remove an elected governor. The governor got his mandate the same way Tinubu got his mandate.

With this your comment, the joke is on you!!!.

It seems you just started following politics of the fourth Republic

Government should stop wasting money in building quarters for judges and top civil servants. Of what benefit are those buildings to the people? Those top civil servants should sort out their accommodation themselves, just like any other Nigerian. Public funds would be spent to build exotic mansion for corrupt people while public infrastructure like schools, hospitals and markets would be looking like a ghetto.

FreeSpirited:
Paying above 500k for primary school children is pure waste of money
Paying above 600k for Secondary students is waste of money.
.
Abroad ...it's even free

You are WRONG!!!

If you have money, please send your ward to the best of schools

I know a man that the son and daughter finished at the Jesuit owned school in Lagos. The schools fees per session is close to N3.5m and he had two kids there then.

Those his two kids are very smart. I interacted with them whenever they were on vacation. Their forward thinking, attitude and characters are top notch. Both are first year University students in the US now.

I usually use them as role model for my kids.

Remember the network of friends your kids got to build when they attend top notch schools.

SA guys will descend on him

Just watch the comments from SA people on twitter and other social media about the incident.

Nigerians and observance of religious rights and rituals, yet, very far from God and righteousness in their acts and intentions.

Next week, Wednesday, the Christians will start their own 40 days of fasting. We pray that the fasting will translate us into a people, committed to the progress of our nation, people and families. Amen!

Akpabio should play the CCTV footages in his house. He was accused of taking Natasha round his house. His CCTV should have captured the meeting if he had any CCTV. I expect the luxury house to have one, anyway. He should have a way of countering the woman. I am sure he and his advisers are preparing a robust response with concrete evidence. Reno or FFK may be incorporated to manage the PR Part of it with unrelentles attacks on natasha. Lots of people will go behind to start digging her past and I hope she doesn't have any skeleton in her cupboard.

You forgot, "Edidi Lane". These were the bases of nollywood marketing and distribution. Ossy Afason was a collosus then, a giant sponsor of Nigerian movies.

Nigerians and this habit of writing fake stories. An "Executive in the bank" and at same time, living in a "tiny" apartment in Lagos??

tunapawizzy:
most Nigerians living in the US do not fall under the targeted groups for this. Most Nigerians came in through the airport and as such have I-94

This what most people up there didn't understand

The policy is targeted mainly at undocumented migrants coming through land borders from Mexico and Canada. 99% of Nigerians that are illegal in US arrive via airport and were duly documented when they entered the US. Their only crime is that they have overstayed but the homeland security still have their records that they came into the country.

Mehn, see CAF response.....that was epic!!!

I like it when people use figures and numbers to win arguments. Even in your CVs and resumes, use numbers to quantify your achievements. It's always an upper cut to whoever is reviewing or comparing your achievements or whoever is arguing with you.

Use of numbers, graphical illustrations and pictures tells more stories than writing a ten - page document.

As long as it legit, I support you, brother. Poverty makes one to take some irrational decisions. The Oyibo woman must have supported the guy, which in turn, the guy is assisting his family to escape Poverty. The house in the background looks new and the guy may have sent the money the family used to build the house. I have seen cases of such unions in my village and the union automatically changed the whole family of the guy from wretchedness to above middle class.

Including their dog o I just watched the new on BBC

Some of these celebrities goes through a lot, emotionally and suffers from serious mental illness

What must have caused their deaths?

Transaction man - everything to Trump is business and deal. Good thinking

Expect to see wealthy men and their families from Middle East, Russia, China and Far East scrambles for the visa.

This visa category used to be in the region of $300k to $500k, which lots of Nigeria CEOs obtained the US passports with

I know a business man that did that and I asked him why and he said he needed the US passport to avoid requesting for visa on each time he needed to travel to Europe, US and many other countries. The mobility that the US passport offers is second to none.

SultanOfAbia:
If Putin want to be a Hero for life

He should send 3 Russian Ballistic Nuclaer Missile directly to this APC gathering...

That singular act will make Putin the Hero of Africa and the Hero of the world.

Infact i will worship Putin morning and night if he strike these gathering of thieves

Will their deaths change your present condition?

Sometimes, wishing people dead may not be the best option as long your condition is not improved by the death of that person.

Laid back, arm chair Professors without any original work of their own. I was expecting him to show us a research carried out to disprove the former guy's claim. Nigeria's lecturers could be annoying with their "I too know " posture without concrete evidence. Just text book theory and hypothesis. He should carry out original research on combustion of fuels of different compositions and analyse the rate of combustion and state other factors likely to affect the rate of combustion of a particular fuel.

Useless associations that add no value. Africa likes giving Nigeria this kind of leadership role so that Nigeria will use her resources to fund the inconsequential associations. I am sure Nigeria's resources will be used to run the association without any commensurate benefit to the country

Even in saner clime!!!

I see where the pain is coming from.

El Rufai must have felt bitter and used.

Tinubu knew why he dropped him

BAT likes royalty and he did not see that in El rufai, despite his much touted help towards making Tinubu's presidency a reality.

Like him or hate him, BAT get guts.

For him to drop El rufai, BAT saw that the man was already a spent force and could not be of help again to him.
