So they want to use the same tactics that was applied during Jonathan time on Tinubu? Creating all sorts of terrorists to destabilise the nation, especially the remote villages. Tinubu should man up and deploy the full might of the Nigerian security personnel on terrorism. There are thousands of Nigerias security men, both military and police, doing nothing since their commissioning into the rank and file. Soldiers and police should be deployed to where they are most needed, including the customs. The customs people would be inside the cities, harassing traders instead of being at the borders to prevent attacks and smuggling

Something I never saw the former FCT Minister under Buhari did - inspecting or commissioning a project. That Muhammed of a guy was just like his boss, Buhari. Uninspiring and thoughtless!!! Let that former Minister point to one thing he did as FCT Minister, under Buhari. Lots of opportunities have been wasted by grossly incompetent officials since Nigeria's independence.

We men have lots of work to do on our new generation sons. Lots of them are becoming emotionally weak, unstable, soft, fragile and unable to decipher certain actions.

I wonder how sane people expect Tinubu to be voted out of power. Impossible!!!!.

Any alliance should be for 2031 and not 2027. Politically, the momentum is on Tinubu's side. PDP, especially, the southern members and their governors are not willing to fund the party for the 2027 general elections. None has come forward to campaign for the party or any alliance.

That house should be renovated. I could see 1970 and 80s switches on the walls, with something that looks like cartons as ceiling.

There is nothing wrong with having some vintage and old school items. My father's house still has those kind of old model sockets, SMC ceiling fans and strong cabinets. I preserved them during the remodeling works that I did and complimented them with modern aesthetics in home decor

This man's house needs total overhaul as a befitting tribute to him.

Content creators. Commercial banks remains one of the highest paying institutions in Nigeria, where any focused graduate could learn, earn and develop lots of capabilities. The banking system nurtured me within the period I was there and what I earned provided the capital that I invested and continued to reap from, years after I left the system. How many organisations in Nigeria can pay a newly recruited graduate trainee up to N180k to N250k? Work in the banking sector, endure the stress, learn as much as you can, save wisely and leave when you have fully developed yourself, became an authority in one niche and have invested and saved.

Which humility I hope he got his diocesan ArchBishop's approval to perform what he did. SE-based priests always forming god and untouchable.

My bet is on Madrid to spring an upset, even with three goal deficit.

Never underestimate the effects of poverty on people's behaviour. Nigeria's system is structured so that most of the citizens, including the security personnel, would perpetually be in want. The political system has weaponized poverty and reduces people's cognitive abilities and rational thinking to nothing. N5k to a police man would help him get a tuber of yam for his family while coming back from work.

Fear fear Macron

Must he mention that some countries that have not recognised Israel would now recognised them? Must you force unwilling countries to recognised Israel because you want to recognise Palestine? Just have the gut to recognise Palestine as a country without drawing reciprocal recognition of Israel in the equation.

I am a minimalist - I don't have up to four footwears - Just three sneakers and one shoe.

I don't keep things I do not need. As the appeal of any wear or shoe diminishes, I give them out immediately, to have space. There is no clothes in my wardrobe that I don't wear. Same to shoe wears. Once I don't need you again, you are gone. Moreover, I don't accumulate to keep. Get few high quality things and use them consistently than packing your space with many low inferior items.

I wonder how a sane Nigeria would think that BAT would loose 2027 election. Just zero your mind that BAT would be the president till 2031. Nothing will stop BAT in 2027. He has rendered every possible opposition parties powerless.

ImpartialGuy:
It's not as if these guys are paid for breaking this Guinness World Record. Who's bankrolling him?

MTN!!!

Create a niche for yourself and become a master in that area. You will start getting sponsors.

The members are just too much, 19 members!

I hope they wont draw any allowance from the Rivers State coffers

They should not be paid anything and they should be involve in award of any contract.

It must be an attempted murder or high profile financial fraud or conspiracy to commit murder, rape or manslaughter.

If it was proven that he murdered someone, it would be death sentence, straight. But since he is not on a death row, it would be any of the above

Trump and his team are NOT consulting widely in all his economic policies. Too many changes. He seems to just be making noise. He has announced exemption of smartphones and computers. He would still announced exemption of other household items.

Biodun1929:
The northern gameplan for 2027 presidential elections has begun.

Exercise in futility. Nothing is stopping Tinubu. He is far ahead of them in this game. He defeated both of them in 2023 as an ordinary person and you expect that they will defeat him when he is wielding so much power as a sitting president? Any alliance should be for 2031 elections. Tinubu wouldn't want to be another Jonathan.

This life sha, see as it looked as if nobody is missing anybody. Life goes on.

Nothing is stopping Tinubu in 2027. The opposition parties are in disarray and it would continue till 2027. Bukola Sarki has already given update on the current happenings within the opposition circle. He has admitted defeat and unlikely that the current occupant of Asorock would be ejected. The opposition parties can never come up with a workable alliance that would stand the test of time.

My own is, don't venture at night in Lagos if you don't have anything serious to go and do. Even outside my estate gate, anything could still happen. Lots of people moving around at night, especially those abokis that moves in groups. I fear them pass anything. They don't have any house and sleep in front of people's shops and disappear before dawn.

Na YouTube get me on top bed. Also, best time to tackle work-related matters as the weather us cool and soothing.

What does the future holds for this two chaps in Nigeria where the jobs meant for them have been politicized by our politician whose relatives have no such background as the omoluabi twins?
It’s not about getting the first class and the best graduating student but getting into the right place is what matters. Except , they have connections otherwise
Which way Nigeria ?

They just have to find ways to manoeuvre their way and achieve success. Nigeria and its complicated corrupt systems, have ways of frustrating brilliant minds. I have seen it happened to the best of us. However, it is important to know that Nigeria and the world owes you nothing for graduating with first class. It is your responsibility to swim through the difficult tides and waves of life and come out.

Graduating with first class is different from being smart and intelligent. They need to know how to navigate through the competitive graduate labour markets, hustle for prestigious scholarships, eye for innovative thinking, networking and explore alternative career path in case of "incasity".

nairaland is full of comedians! See comments

Let your uncle put you in his line of business, if it is a legit business.
Coming to Lagos to just hustle for factory job is not easy. The factory job may be located in a place far from where you are living
Transportation is a major expenses for most Lagosian. Also, be sure that the job is legit. Lots of scammers are on the prowl, looking for "magas" to chop. Non existing jobs are written on walls, on roads and pasted in market places, with the amount to be paid stated, asking one to call a certain number for the job - just beware. Lagos could be unforgiven to the newbies and uninformed
Let your uncle support you and guide you through. This is a culture among the Igbos that is being fast eroded. Uncles are no more behaving like uncle to their nephews and nieces. It was not like that before. Uncles were looked up to, especially the well -to-do and highly educated. The well-to-do uncle would take his brother's children and trained them in his trade and settle them, thus, sustaining the progress of the entire "umunna" kindred. Those in paid employment would help their nephews and nieces that have finished services, relocated to Lagos, with employment tips and vacancies. It is no more like that these days. Uncles sees their nephews as threat, especially, if their own children are not doing well. Everything now is competition in my place. The family bond and unity that once held sway, have been broken by the "enemy" and the entire kindred has disintegrated.

Good move!!!

Which means, if you are interested in any position on permanent basis, don't be tempted to accept that position in acting capacity. Once you occupy the position in acting capacity, you looses your rights to contest and occupy the same position on permanent basis. This should give a fair playing field to other contestants, both within and outside the organisation.

Gerrard59:
So what do you recommend China to do? Bend its knees to an entity that does not want to see China succeed? The Democrats imposed severe sanctions on its chip industry and EV industry. They banned Deepseek because it's cheaper than chatGPT. The aim is to strangle China's economic rise. So I ask, when did it become a crime for a country to excel economically? Why should the Chinese swallow their pride? I'm genuinely curious. This is not Canada, please.

The thing about acquiescing to a bully is that the bully gets to demand more. So to prevent that, don't accept the bullying. You fight back.

It is better to choose your fight wisely at any given time. China is currently enjoying a massive trade surplus over the US. In as much as US is trying to bully China, China should weigh its options and see if it is worth it, engaging in the fight, in the first instance. Can the Chinese economy be able to sustain the huge economic losses that may result because of this fight? There is no need being emotional. China should check the benefits and the advantages it gets because of its huge trade surplus with US and make some concessions, so that it doesn't result to unnecessary economic losses to its economy and entities.

I hope they will catch those korope and danfo guys that eat while driving. I entered korope from oando filling station in marina to VI and the driver was eating food and diluting it with coke. These are the people they should target and not private vehicles

China made a very big mistake in retaliating. There was no need fighting with Trump, knowing that China has been benefiting, disproportionately in her trade with US. Xi will put China into recession because of unnecessary fight. He should have swallowed his pride and allowed Trump be, so long China was still on top of international trade. You are fighting with your biggest trading partner, where you control 75% of trade between two of you. Xi no try at all. I forsee a 200% increase in coming weeks, as Xi try to match up with Trump's madness

See caption: "Bianca Ojukwu and daughter, represent first lady, Remi Tinubu. " Did the first lady asked both Bianca and her daughter to represent her? Why did she go with her daughter to an official government event? I hope she paid for her daughter's expenses for her to be there, except if she is based in the UK. We know how to abuse privileges as Nigerians. Probably, she is indirectly marketing her to the world

So, rain fell today? Thank God I didn't go to island today. I have been indoors throughout and didn't know it rained somewhere in Lagos. Lagos traffic can make one insane.

Aketi has gone and these marauders are back! The late governor gave them good chase. Now that a lame duck has taken over, the marauders have regrouped to unleash mayhem

Where is Righteousness? He should come and postulate while Donald Trump is God's sent to come and cleans America and the world of evils

He can still win under the Nigerian legal technicalities. If Soludo looses guard and Ezenwafo has a lawyer like Wole Olanipekun, there may be hope, as Wole may argue that Soludo was not properly nominated by his party; the second placed candidate, which may be the LP candidate, was not qualified to contest the election, having being a former convict; the third placed candidate, which may be APC, would be disqualified for going against one of the electoral laws. Then, PDP, candidate, as the likely candidate to come a distance 4th in the election, having scored the highest number of valid votes cast in the election, would be declared the winner.
