It's a new low for the Presidency to go personal like this. Stay on the issue. The Presidency is an institution, not for politics but for governance.

Onanuga could have responded to Ndume on Twitter and Facebook with his personal account instead of using the Presidency to fight with a Senator, representing a Senatorial District of his people. Tinubu will leave the Presidency one day so we need to be careful how we use state institutions that will record every government correspondence for the future.

Mehn, extremely so low. I was shocked that other people didn't notice that goof you flagged. Imagine saying that "your kinsmen also got Jobs" in NNPC LTD in reply to Ndume? There are better ways to counter an opposition comments instead of engaging Ndume in a gutter fight. Bayo should do better, please. The Presidency is being messed up by the same people that were expected to uphold the integrity of the institution.

This will hit China Really hard. Forget the pretenses by China. US market is the main market and the engine sustaining the Chinese industrial complex.

Most nigerians would have done the same if they were in Reno's shoe. It us difficult to see a Saint in Nigeria politics. Even Obi is a typical Nigerian politician. Forget the holier than thou posture.

Stupidity of the highest order.

Soludo should be above this kind of petty politics, naming an airport road after a known DRUNK

Governors should stop naming major landmarks after themselves or their friends.

This Alex Otti face no be here. Imagine how the face go be if the man dey vex

Once an opposition politician starts having problems with the law enforcement, he will start singing the praises of the President, looking for soft landing. Is he not the Senator that was debarred in the US and being sought by EFCC? He was accused of collecting millions from a client and fled to Nigeria.

All the necessary gym materials and equipment are in my house. Go to warehouse, mile 2, and get quality tokunbo gym equipment of your choice. Sometimes, I do my gym in my room, completely naked, especially when doing yoga and without thoughts of anyone looking at me. There are lots of YouTube videos to guide you on any gym activities or fitness you want to achieve within the comfort of your home. However, going to gym offers that opportunity for socialisation and networking, if that's what you want. I love my privacy more than anything else.

I was expecting to see them on Asoebi, the same way Wike did with his G -5 members. They sewed Asoebi and travelled abroad, moved from one place to another in uniform, fuelled by tax payer's money.

It was a very unnecessary move by Val Ozigbo to APC. As it stands presently, there are only very two formidable parties in Anambra state. They are APGA led by Soludo and LP led by Peter Obi. Val Ozigbo should have waited in LP. He probably thought that the then court case would be endless, with Abure refusing to vacate. That has been sorted and Ozigbo too has lost all round.

The last Presidential election saw Obi winning with a sweeping majority. The last minute pleadings and moves of Governor Soludo saved APGA from total annihilation at the state assembly elections, with APGA winning 17 seats, LP 8, PDP2 and YPP with the strength of Ifeanyi Ubah winning 3. Of the 11 seats in the House of Representatives LP has 6 while APGA has 4 and YPP 1. Look at the Senate and find 2 LP senators while YPP had 1. Do not forget that the late Ifeanyi Ubah abandoned YPP and decamped to APC, handing over the YPP seat to APC. From the calculations, the late Ifeanyi Ubah had done his job in Anambra south. Decamping to APC by Ifeanyi Ubah brought the party some hope. He had a way of connecting with his constituents, but now that’s all gone.

The only area to find APC is that same Anambra south because of Ubah. LP is all over, controlling large swaths of Anambra state. The image of Peter Obi looms large over that state. Soludo’s headache is not APC, but Peter Obi/LP. He has been accused of a sinister plan to use the new security outfit to win the next election. PDP is totally out of the equation, as the party has not found its feet in Anambra state. Soludo will have to find a way around Labour Party and Peter Obi. How can he uproot LP in Anambra north where Tony Nwoye easily swept Stella Oduah aside and made Anambra north an LP territory? Political heavyweights like Uche Ekwunife were completely silenced by the Obi Tsunami. The likes of Ngige do not have voices to raise, while Arthur Eze knows that his millions into APC Anambra state will not make sense. Obi reigns in Anambra state and he is the challenge they all face.

Now APC may be hoping, just like that last Presidential election, for LP to split votes with APGA, paving the way an APC victory. That will not work here in Anambra, as APC does not have the platform and followers. The state is presently dominated by APGA and Labour Party.

I think that Soludo has risen to the occasion, correcting himself in the recent times. His development footprints are found everywhere. It will be difficult to defeat him in Anambra south presently by APC or LP. He worked and is working everywhere.

By their unwritten agreements, Governors are able to develop their own Senatorial districts, when they are in the position of power. That’s why the position is rotated, so that development can go round. So I do not expect him to lose Anambra south to APC, which hid under Ifeanyi Ubah. Aguata, his own area particularly (that’s Soludo), which did not really follow him in the last election, has no reason to support another candidate, with the way the things are turning up there.

In all, Val Ozigbo miscalculated. Nicolas Ukachukwu knows that he will termed as the part of the “also ran” candidates. He knows that APC has no place in Anambra state.

You really understands Anambra politics. I earlier thought that the presence of Peter Obi would pose a threat to Soludo. But recent developments have endeared Soludo to lots of people. As at 2023, Soludo's reelection wasn't guaranteed, as lots of people had started calling him a one - term governor. But he has quickly turned the tides to his side and haulted the "obidients movement " tsunami. Obi's non challant attitude to labour party affairs have also made many people not to take LP serious. Even the elected members of State's assembly and national assembly aren't interested in LP. The party, LP, was just used by lots of members to win elections, riding off the back of the "obidients movement " of 2023. Obi, himself, has maintained a dignified silence in the governorship election, as he knew that any move he makes that would not result to electoral victory for his party, would be viewed negatively against him. He would rather sit on the fence and maintain neutrality than to campaign for a labour candidate and loose.

Ozigbo thought he was a big fish, as a former LP heavy weight, to be courted by APC, snapping pictures with Gandollar and other APC heavy weights. Nicolas Ukachukwu is a veteran governorship aspirant in Anambra, with many electoral defeats under his belt. The outcome of this year's election for him may not be different from the ones in the past. I think Soludo currently has the momentum, even among the supporters of the ruling federal government. They may accept with kindness, Soludo's victory, as he has never played a spoiler for Mr. President and the ruling party on anything.

Peter Obi is in serious dilemma about this election. He knows that Soludo will win and he doesn't know if he should back the labour party candidate in the election. As usual, Obi, typically behaves like Buhari. Two men that are unconcerned about their parties. They are after their own political interests without given a thought about their parties. Buhari was so aloof that he did not know APC to the extent that he couldn't influence anything in APC until he left power. If Obi fails to deliver Anambra to his party, that would be used against him in the future by his adversaries

This shows the state of human capital development in Nigeria. The quality of humans in Nigeria is terribly low. Go to Oshodi and see how the magnificent and gigantic structure Ambodi built has been subjected to abuse by Agberos, homeless people, Abokis and all manners of human beings. Human development comes before infrastructural development. If you do the later before the former, the former will mess up the later as it doesn't understand the essence of the structure.

A typical Nigerian politician. You are criticizing the government you are part of. What stopped him since from resigning?

He made mistake to have accepted the appointment. Someone that was rooting for Atiku to win and stood on the fence for LP, as his younger brother was the running mate. Tinubu dangled the stick and he hung onto it, as if his life depended on it. Now, he is a spent force and Tinubu has discarded him. I wonder the mouth he would use to talk. Sometimes, it is better you preserve and maintain your integrity, if any, by not talking or associating with people or association that their views and ideologies are not consistent with yours. Tinubu should have fired him than given him the opportunity to resign.

Umahi, you should have done better. I hate bosses like you

Bosses that are fond of throwing their subordinates under the bus just for their own selfish ego.

Must you mention that it was the president that asked you to come to Lagos. So, if the President had not asked you to come to Lagos, you wouldn't have bothered?

I am still hurting from the Wednesday gridlock. It killed off my whole energy. I pity those that commute to work everyday in Lagos. I can't try it again, never!

Authorities in Nigeria are not good at managing traffic. These guys could have worked throughout the public holidays and weekends. People were subjected to terrible frustration, stress and inconveniences today. I really felt bad coming to island today. I thought traffic won't be much as many people would want to stay at home after the eid holidays.

See title, "Popular Billionaire Heiress ". Nigerian bloggers!

Too much grammar with innuendos

Bayo should use simple English and straight to the point to communicate to us

"Retreat", "Reflection", "Fortnight" and "appraise" are not common words that could be easily understood

This is the reason why some international testing centers do not use Nigeria as a venue. The penchant for fraud in Nigeria is terrible. If British Council is not handling IELTS themselves, the exam for don cast since. Go to CBT centers and see how schools, parents and center owners are conniving during JAMB exams.

My solar giving maximum output

Nothing compares to a solar that is working at an optimum installed capacity

If I open my freezer during hot afternoon, when the solar is at it peak, the freezing dew and "smoke" that the freezer emits cannot be compared to NEPA or Gen

Solar is a clean energy, as long as you have your inverter working optimally, Battery performing at its peak and the solar regulator doing the yeoman's job, you are good to go

I am on band A and we have up to 20 hour light. But I don't connect to NEPA during the day as I use my solar. I connect to NEPA around 1am at night to use my AC.

That referee should be suspended by the international boxing federation. A boxer fell not because of impact of knock received but by strange body movement and he was busy counting. I have watched many bouts where the boxer unilaterally fell down and the referee stopped the match immediately for medical first aid. This one was busy given counts.

The country is doing well and cashing out on the system their forefathers built for them.

"It is right and fair to increase visa application fees to ensure that the costs of running the immigration system are met by those who benefit from it." Case closed!

If you are running to UK to take advantage of the welfare system, be ready to pay for it. Be ready to also pay for the salary of the public sector service workers

They should have aligned the sides with palm trees or canopy trees

Is the wife not aware that her husband is into shady deals? Most of these women are aware that their husbands are into fraudulent activities but the aura to drive Toyota Venza and Rav 4 is too irresistible for them. There are many of them like that along Ago palace way, Amuwo and Festac. Your husband is into shady deals but you will be happy to be balling and intimidating other women. He should face his time in jail. I hate fraudulent people, including corrupt politicians and their supporters

Nigeria will still qualify. South Africa would be docked points for fielding ineligible player

So this people no wan make I come Canada for next year summer watch world Cup.

The tragedy of the state of higher institutions in Nigeria. How do you expect people trained in this kind of condition to be a responsible and well behaved student. My brother, hustle so that your children would at least, experience some form of decency and decorum in the Nigerian society. I spit on both the students, the vice chancellor, commissioner for education and the visitor to the University.

Tizu:
Please 🙏 is it much easier to japa as a nurse than a doctor?
Educate me please I need to know.
I appreciate in anticipation

It's easier to Japa as a registered nurse (RN) than a doctor. Many doctors have Japad to Canada and US and many have been unable to get license to practice. The licensing processes in those two countries are cumbersome for foreign trained doctors. You can't even get residency even after passing the exams administered by the regulatory bodies of the medical profession in Canada and US.

But as a qualified nurse, you write the nclex and other licensing exams, do a bridging program with a college and you are registered as a member of the nursing profession. Just secure your first job with a care home, long term centre, respite and hospice homes, build the required experience and skills that would enable you to pursue a more challenging roles in hospitals, clinics and medical centres.

Those Nigerians with successful asylum claims, I wonder the kind of "lamba" stories they told the Canadian immigration system to be granted refugees status. I am sure most successful people within this category falls under LGTBQR claimants, Domestic abuse claimants, those fleeing female genital mutilation, religious persecution and initimate partner assaults - lucky them!

Most will be females, single mothers and divorcees

They have to manage Anyanwu within the ambit of the constitution of PDP. Anything else is illegality. That the supreme Court asked them to manage their own internal affairs doesn't mean a blanket judgment against Anyanwu. If PDP does anything contrary to their own constitution, Anyanwu has the right to seek redress. PDP made mistake by not reining in on Anyanwu to resign his post as secretary of PDP, to contest for the Imo state gubernatorial elections. So, technically, he is still the PDP secretary till a Congress is organised to remove him.

PDP never see anything for Wike hand.

Sam Daddy is Wike's right hand man. This may likely be the fate of PDP till 2027

Omoawoke:
Congratulations to Japan

The country of self discipline and continuous improvements

The country of Naruto, Bleach and death notes

One of the living evidences that you can be technologically advanced, developed without losing your self identity unlike west Africans ( western wannabe yet no sabi anything)

Well said! Very Conservative and disciplined people. I met a Japanese reseach student at the University of St. Andrews when I was in UK. He practically taught me time management and organisational skills. They are the masters of Kaizen principles.

The SOE is a done deal - whether they form a quorum or not, they can not reject the SOE.

Even though, the constitution grants approval rights to the national assembly, majority will not vote against the SOE

Senate president will just hit the gavel on his table and approve it.
