These are some serious points and allegations. Sadly, Nigerians don't ask questions and can defend the indefensible because of ethnic and tribal affiliations. People are up there attacking Atiku instead of looking at the allegations he made. Atiku is not a Saint neither but did he made valid points? yes! That project would never get to Calabar. That was my first thought when Umahi muted that idea of Lagos to calabar coastal road, probably to confuse the citizens from asking pertinent questions. Pictures of the commencement of the project flooded the social media and people went into frenzy. But are our leaders sincere with the project and appropriation of public funds relating to it? Only time would tell.

Nigerians are funny!

People are here lambasting GWR. These guys works with verifiable data to safeguard the integrity of their award.
Yes, your grandfather in the village may be 120 years. Is there any incontrovertible record to show that?

If i talk now, some stupid ignorant people will come after me.
Our standard in this country is terribly low. More terrible is the what the citizens perceives as development
See what someone had the courage to post on internet as a sign of good works by the Governor.
That road was simply painted with Asphalt paint.

Funny NATO!
You are waiting for the war to end for Ukraine to join NATO.
Why not admit Ukraine now and support them with boots on the ground to fight Russia based on NATO's principle that an attack on one is an attack on all members?
Ukraine will never be a NATO member. It is an invitation to world war 3. They should stop deceiving Ukraine.

Please stop, your Bible couldn't even detect what caused earthquake until the scientist came. Give credit to the engineer who built the bridge instead of crediting one God who couldn't divert the disaster.

Earthquake is mostly caused by movement of tectonic plates. The collision of two plates will definitely cause friction hence the earthquake. After earthquake, followed by Tsunami.

Why una no fit pray to that God to stop all those natural disasters. The Whites who brought the religion have moved pass it. USA and Canada are now country of Transgender, Gay, Lesbianism, LGBTQ, BLA BLA.

Is it God that's still instructing the Israel to conquer more land as God na real estate agent?

Scottish prime minister was interviewed sometimes ago to differentiate between who a man supposed to be and a woman, she couldn't instead just saying rubbish as she's one of the promoters of LGBTQ. Those are part of those who forced that same religion on us but they don't longer believe in it.

Religion na scam

You just wasted your time explaining science to a brain-washed religion fanatics. He won't understand the explanation you put up there. Religion has done incalculable damage to psyche of Africans, especially, Nigerians.

I give it to Anambra people. When I went to Udoka estate for the first time in the mid 90s just after my secondary school, it was scanty, with uncompleted buildings and empty plots with rusted gates. I was there in January 2023 and couldn't believe my eyes. Everywhere was built-up with modern houses and partly tarred roads.

Righteousness2:
Our Condolences to the nations and families of the deceased aid workers of WCK..
May God ALMIGHTY Comfort them.

ISRAEL did its investigations as usual, discovered this time she was responsible and came out boldly to accept responsibility for its error.

That is the Hallmark of a responsible Nation.
That is the Hallmark of a nation with high standard of Morality and Fear of GOD.
That is the Hallmark of a nation that places high value on lives , Unlike the Terrorists who have zero value for the lives of even their own.

GOD Bless the State of ISRAEL Forever.

Zukwaanu ike and stop embarrassing yourself and your family

Nawao!

In as much as I support widows inheriting their husband's properties, it should be noted that Ojukwu have grown up kids, that are almost at the same age with Bianca. They are entitled to the share of their late father's properties. Bianca should not be making claims for all the properties for herself and her own children. Her comments that the court has Validated who are the real children of Ojukwu calls for concern. May be, Ojukwu didn't recognise his children from his former marriage.

Stupid youtuber. These are natives that are on drugs, possibly. There is no way majority could be Nigerians. The youtuber is just looking for attention and traffic. This tells you the extent some unscrupulous Nigerians could go to tarnish the image of the country on the altar of their personal gain .

Hmmm! Men are becoming emotionally weak these days. It is not that men should not experience low moments in their lives, but taking matters of relationship too serious is simply too dangerous. These are one of the things I need to inculcate in my kids - both boys and girls. Do not be too serious with relationship matters, abeg! Be "selfish"!

Always celebrating mediocrity in this part of the world. It is not about Anambra, that's my state. It's about Nigeria and Nigerians as a whole. Our standards of governance and perception of what sustainable development and governance should be, are terribly low.

georgeakins:
What is the cause?

Nobody knows - cancer just comes - same way people have other categories of cancer. Most times, by the time it could be detected, it has degenerated into a metastasis situation.

Pancreatic Cancer is the worst form of Cancer - my own relative lived just four months after being diagnosed of the disease. It was fast and resulted in multiple organ failures.

Ojukwu rebelled and started growing beards. He allowed the ranks and file of Biafran army to do the same. But none could muster the courage to do the same.

This grid should be decentralised. It is even a concern that Nigeria still operates a centralised grid system that poses an energy risk. I don't know why we like centralised system in all spheres of our national life. A North East grid collapsing shouldn't affect power supply in South West, and vice versa.

SMH.....What they did was wrong but why shut down the business? What's the essence of shutting down a business that's creating value? They should have been fined, instead. If it wasn't Gbenga Daniel 's daughter, would they have been shut down? Selective justice everywhere

Owerri and Hotels!!!

What is happening? They should try and set up manufacturing outfits naa, even if na toothpick production company.

Go to Owerri, even in inner streets, most old buildings are being remodeled into 1 or 2 star hotel.

I am not excited - Young people seems to be ruthless in looting than their grandpas

This one with two wives, you can imagine. I am not against young people being in political leadership but they have not proven to be any different from their older ones.

Why did he stand to snap picture with the victim?

No respect for the girl's privacy

The way we do things in this part of the world is despicable - from the so called learned people to the uneducated ones in the street.

See him, the human right activist, posing like a cultist, to snap picture with the victim, whose privacy should be uppermost in his mind. But no, social media validation is more important to him than the privacy of the minor.

This one will come back in a body bag. So sad!

See his wedding ring. His wife and children will be waiting for his return that will never be.

My people, this judgment is very DANGEROUS!!!

Someone the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, has been described as an "IMPOSTER", erroneously received pension as a former governor, was let out of the hook by a lower court!!!

Lots of interpretations would be given to this judgment when people gets something for which they are not qualified for, and for which they never applied for, but got it in "error".

At the end, 70% of them are leaving the country. It doesn't benefit their region or the country. Nothing in this country is geared towards the overall benefit of the country because of bad leadership that has diminished any sense of patriotism among Nigerians. Our education system should be purpose driven for the overall development of the country. Sadly, corruption and nepotism will continue to embolden people to ply their trades outside the shores of the country.

I dont even shout at my children again under any circumstances or provocation.

There were things they would do that I would be like, if I beat you ehh!!!

I will simply walk away and go and chill and later call the errant child to caution him or her.

Same applies to the people on the street that offends me one way or the other, including unruly motorists and Danfos

Keep your BP lively and good. Shouting and anger is not good for the body.

This man no de rest? It is good sha, just that no electoral value will come out all these visits. There will not be election in 2027 in Nigeria. It will just be a confirmation of the current president and governors that are in good books.

Coolsat:
Obi is wooing him already. Something is cooking low-key

Dreamer!!!!
If you think that any merger between Obi and El rufai would work, you are just dreaming. Obi may not even be on the ballot in 2027. You think any opposition would be able to unseat Tinubu? Very impossible. Voters apathy in 2027 would be second to none. Atiku or Kwakwanso may be the likely contestants against Tinubu and Tinubu would trounce them convincingly.

Even though, I am not his follower, neither do I attend his crusades. The truth is, the guy is very influential. He would use his connection to deal with the so called, "Ijele" guy. The thing has even gotten to the office of Inspector of Police's office. That tells you how influential the Pastor is. Pastor Ebuka would surely deal with the guy.

Nawao! Yet, some acclaimed educated people haven't stepped their foot on any local government chairman's office. In this life, whatever trade you have chosen for yourself, be the master in that game. You will "go" places

So sad!

We lack organization skills in this country - from the leaders to the followers - gross indiscipline and lawlessness and disorganization.
Why not organize the sharing of the palliatives in a proper manner? Must we behave like zoo? - I am so pained right now and above all, see how they exposed their corpses to everybody as if they are nothing!

When I was in the UK as a student, my school usually gave students some food items to cushion the effect of hardship some students may be facing, especially the international students. If you needed to collect "palliative" from the school's food bank, you book online and you will be scheduled the time and place to come and collect it in the school. Once you arrive at that time, your name was already written on your own items and you just pick it up. No stress; No queuing up. But you must come at appointed time or else you reschedule.

This statement is just too petty.

As if he, himself, does not have a dom account or even a foreign account.

Some of these appointed SAs always behaves as if they love the country more than themselves, but when they leaves office, you start hearing
huge embezzlement from government treasury.

He should just maintain and allow the market to "punish" the speculators and hoarders of the currency instead of sounding the alarm that cannot be verified.

Good one, Cardoso.

Government should ensure that proceeds of corruption are not offloaded on the market, especially looted naira cash. This is one of things that causes naira to depreciate. Once politicians and their associates discharges their looted funds into the system, so much naira money will be chasing few dollars, making devaluation inevitable

That has been the practice since last year.

I somehow support this - you cannot be asking for cheap government FX when you have not paid your taxes.

Just that there is no more difference between the official market and parallel markets.

See anger everywhere from people above

This is why graduates from Covenant, Afe Babalola, Reedmer and Madona Universities are dominating graduate trainee positions in companies these days. They are the most likely people to graduate and do their NYSC on time before the age of 26.

I graduated at the age of 23 because I did a five year course in 2003 , completed my own NYSC at 25 and wrote more than 10 aptitude tests by age 26. Got a graduate trainee job with an investment bank at 26, which was the age they put during the job advert.

Graduate or Management Trainee position remains the best route to break into corporate world. An opportunity to be trained and groomed by a well-known bank, consulting firm, IOCs, Multinational or a "juicy" agency of government like NNPC or CBN is a sure guide to a "prosperous" career in the future.

If you are lucky to get such an opportunity, do not waste it.
