Mr governor is trying to bobo us! As if he took won't weaponize poverty by giving his people freebies to install his successor and become a senator. Let is be on record that the 2027 election will be the most moneytized election we have ever had. Politicians understand this and they are stockpiling cash.

Residents of Abia State hit the streets this afternoon to protest the sharp increase in electricity bills by the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC).

I remember when they were celebrating constant electricity 2 years ago. I knew it would come to a protest. The present average Nigerian income can't survive uninteruped utility services. Nigeria has been running on socialism for so long that it has destroyed the capital of the average citizen.

OPINION: It’s Time for Tinubu to Let Wike Face the Law

Evidence terminates arguement. Present the evidence, it's not crypto that is untraceable, it's land.

There are two extrems to this thing, there is the exploration of gospel artist by organisations and there is ministering solely for money. Let's just stay in the middle, the needs of the music minister should be met and music ministers should minister to the Lord and the souls of people.

It's a difficult case, if you release him you embolden individuals in other regions to behave in similar ways, and if you want to discipline them they will resist and reference this case.

Tohsynetita1:
You this people, you don’t compare Nigeria with Abroad in good thing than bad things. Whenever if Favours you people, you compare.
Why can’t you compare minimum wage, unemployment rate? Nonsense

Unfortunately, we have to benchmark with stand best practices and value. That's the only way we can grow. I don't want to enjoy Nigeria alone, I want my great grandchildren to enjoy Nigeria as well, if we keep subsidizing every thing there will be nothing left for them.

Hermaphrodite2:
I came across the school fees for freshly admitted students in UNILORIN. Is this not getting out of hand? I can remember vividly, this sum isn't upto what students pay for their whole study in the university. In addition, Acceptance fees of 40k has to be paid

Education has and is still heavily subsidized in Nigeria. Let's think about it, who pays $270 (#406,000) tution to study pharmacy? The intriguing part is that the more our population grows, the more unsustainable it is to subsidize anything.

Ajaokuta Steel Will Bounce Back Soon – AbdulRaheem

By Enemona Samuel Endurance, Abuja



https://thebureau.com.ng/nigeria-news-today-ajaokuta-steel-revival-assured/

Who is this gentleman trying to decieve? You want to revive an over 30 year old technology with which money? Who is going to invest in it?

There is crime in every society, that why we have a real estate called prison,the duty of leaders is to reduce it to the lowest level. It is rather unfortunate that a popular person had to be killed for the awareness of insecurity to be awakened.

We still gave him a state burial after wrecking the country. A 3 bedroom flat in low cost housing in Lagos was bought for 8.6m naira 10 years ago, today it's asking price is 30-35m naira thanks to illiterate policies.

There are some words Nigerian politicians use that mean disaster, words like RESCURE, UNSEAT. It always ends up fare worse than they met the problems.

Penguin2:
NTA posted a picture of governors and a minister saying bye bye to Tinubu as he departed Abuja yesterday for his annual leave, and it has caused outrage online as people are questioning the significance of such practice.

What is most embarrassing is the manner at which they were waving at an already closed plane in a manner that is only comparable to what jobless children would do.

This is not opposition nor anything like it, I’m just sad at the degeneration my country is going through. Every right thinking Nigerian should be embarrassed and angry that governors who should be busy attending to the responsibilities they were elected to take charge of, would rather devote their time to a shameful venture as this one.

I pray Nigeria is saved, and soon.

Nigerians are funny, someone doubles your state allocation, promises you a second term in office and so far he keeps his words. You won't go and bid him farewell when he is traveling? As if we don't kiss the asses of our relatives that are generous to us.

This lady is a serial philanderer, it's only a matter of time she will get pregnant for another man. She doesn't know what she wants and will jump at anything that looked like attractive. Make arrangements to take your baby away from her, and care for the baby.

El-Rufai has no political value, he rode on the Buhari Tsunami to become governor. He is very unpopular in Kaduna.

He is an excellent administrator, if you have a difficult task, give it to him and he will solve the problem, he is not a good leader nor a politician.

If Atiku is making this statement l would take it seriously because of his political sagacity but El-Rufai never transitioned into politics he was an accidental governor.

ZaraArewa:
There is something that has been bothering me.
I have been dating this guy for a year and he's not really committed to the relationship, he has not introduced me to any of his family members nor his friends, each time i ask he will brush it off with his sweet talking skills and kissing.
One of the main problems i have is his high demands for sex. He's always in the mood to have sex.
Pls house do you thing it's normal for someone to love sex that much?

Feel free to criticise or throw insults at me.

Why buy a cow that gives you free milk all the time?

You are giving him free sex with no strings attached, any fool understands that they have to be nice to you to get between your legs.

you have not made marriage or an introduction to his family a requirement for him. Let him know if he wants to keep enjoying the benefits he gets from you, you want xxxxxx. If you are of value to him he will cut the deal, if you are not he won't.

One thing I've come to understand about Nigeria is that often times we think with our emotions.

Was minister Osinachi killed by her husband? No cancer dealt her the death blow.
Did her husband abuse her? Yes, but he didn't kill her.

Did IVD kill his wife? No, she set the house ablaze and died as a result of her injuries from it.
Did IVD abuse her? Yes, he did, but he didn't kill her.

Did Naira Marley and his associates kill MoBad. No they didn't, allergic reactions to an admistered drug did.
Did they bully MoBad? Yes they did.

We need to create systems that save people before they die and not one that creates drama after their death.

Procashtips:
Almost 42 years
A freelance/independent consultant
With 2 children (Almost 6 and Almost 4)
Wife working.

Lost it all in bad collaboration, fraudulent investments, bad/wrong investments and also theft.

Got an asset that can give him ₦20m after debts are paid.
How does he bounce back with the above?

Rent is 2m annually
School fees is 300-350k termly.
Feeding ₦150k+ monthly
Others: ₦100k monthly


If you are in his shoes, what are you going to do?

He plans to be responsible for running the house this time around without relying on assistance from the wife to restore sanity/orderliness.

Advice him from the point of financial and career stability,

Firstly, no individual partner in a family should run the house, both husband and wife should setup a system to run the home. The very instance you want to go solo in your relationship, points to the fact that there is relationship problem, when you start using words like sanity and orderliness there is trouble in paradise. For family life to be successful you and your spouse have to work together. Pull your resources together, the people that are winning the money game are working together. You both should forgive each other for past hurt and work on your relationship, you can 10x your family finance if you work together.

Secondly, you need to readjust your risk appetite, we have low risk, medium risk and high risk investments. You can do it as 50%, 30% and 20%. If you go all in for high risk investments, if it goes south, your family finance will suffer.

The number one building block in family finance is a budget, you and your wife have to sit down together and come up with one that will cover the whole family's requirement and commit to following it. Bouncing back is more of a psychological issue than it is a physical issue. Build new habits.

Regards your 20m as a buffer not an income. You need to get back into your freelancing and consultancy game. Rent,school,feeding and others has already taken 5m a year. If you don't start earning fast you will run out of money in 3 years.

So if I were you I will put 10m into money market or treasury bills that will yield 18%-20% making 1.8m at least in a year.

I will put the remaining 5m into a piggyvest flexible investment that yields 15% and I can withdraw from the account should I get a better investment opportunity.

More importantly I will work on my consulting work to make the 20m my safety net.

Am I the only one noticing that Tinubu is stylishly restructuring the country?

The war can be ended by weekend should America and EU decide to stop supporting Ukraine.

The battle to allow neighbours of Russia to become NATO States has already been lost.

I think all sides are tired of the war already, I think the big problem is the post war settlement. Russia is most likely unwilling to give away Territories gained as a result of the war and Ukraine also is not willing to annex it's land to Russia thereby seeking for pre war status quo.

ADC won't give Obi their ticket, he stands a better chance with PDP. I still don't understand why he can't consolidate on the momentum of 2023, Obi shouldn't be going to ADC, they should be coming to him. Him going to them has already exposed his Achilles hill.

I'm not certain about what happened but I have questions. What was he doing on the tarmac or who allowed him to be there? The last I checked he is a musician not an aviation staff. Private citizens don't have any business with the tarmac except when boarding or disembarking an aircraft. Our elite need to behave better in public, the other time it was a senator constituting nuisance at the airport. The lesson about nigeria money bags is "Money can buy you things but it can't buy you class."

Buhari dug the grave by printing N23 trillion, Tinubu lowered the coffin by his Draconian policies and greedy landlords and agents sealed the grave with outrageous rents and fees.

I don't agree that it's Tinubu's policies that is wiping out the middle class. It is Buhari printing 23 trillion into the economy that destroyed the middle class, Tinubu's policies just finished the job.

I've said it and will say it again the senate and HoR should make the penalty for kidnapping and terrorism death.

I think we need to change the curriculum of our education, after secondary school we need to make it compulsory for all students to learn an income producing skill for at least a year, let certificate of completion be based on how many clients they are able to service. Also these certificate should be a prerequisite for admission to tertiary institutions.

Welcome to the rat race of survival. Marketers have existing relationships with the foreign market, the foreign market is ready to dip prices to stay afloat, so they call their loyal customers giving them deals that are too good to refuse. The only way Dangote can survive is through either government fiat or price war till the competition bleeds out or he creates a complete downstream chain that will take out old marketers. Business is war!

Instead of asking citizens for money, shut down a number of foreign military base, raise taxes on the wealthy by changing the tax code, encourage US manufacturing.

Hello bros.

Please my younger brother got a 67.5 aggregate score this year, which isn’t enough for Computer Science, his first choice. Now he has to choose from these courses: Cyber Security, Biochemistry, Information Technology, Mining Engineering, or Software Development. Which of these has the best future prospects? He’s 16 and applied to FUTA. I’m an art student, so I’m not familiar with these fields. Please focus only on the listed courses.

I will suggest you go broad not niche, the rate at which things are changing, one may finish a degree after 4 years and the field won't be in existence.

The important thing is to research the curriculum and tutoring of the options a solid marine engineering degree is better than a crappy computer science degree.

A senate that passed students loan bill, tax reform bill, and electricity act in 2 years, is the worst senate since 1999. Wow! Please which other NASS has passed at least 3 people centered bills in 2 years?

Labour Party Vice Presidential Candidate in the 2023 General Election, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has met Julius Abure, factional National Chairman of the Labour Party.

Datti, who promised to reconcile the factions and disgruntled stakeholders with Peter Obi said this during the National Executive Council meeting of the faction.

Datti also took a swipe at the ADC Coalition, saying the Government that follows is more important than removing the APC Government.

Datti Speaks

“Labour Party is not a party to walk away from.

“The successes, the history that Labour Party of Nigeria has recorded is unique and unprecedented."

“We presented clear records and evidence of 10 million votes scored in the last election, thereafter reduced to 6.1 million votes.

“The act of state capture is a more onerous task causing disunity and disaffection within political parties.”

“I am here as a peacemaker to reconcile divergent opinions.

“I’m very proud to say that I did attend meetings of a certain attempt for a coalition in Nigeria.

“Morally speaking, if your neighbourhood invites you to discuss security, you must attend.

“However, if you attend and they discuss other matters besides that, you are at liberty to restore yourself to your former position.

“I have attended and I have listened to the coalition attempts, yet I remain in the Labour Party.

“I am not one to sleepwalk into any political arrangements,”

“I must say, in the past, a coalition was made and a Nigerian government was voted out.

“I note with pleasure that this is what we as the Labour Party did in 2023 and what we are about to do again in 2027.

“However, the government that follows is even more important than the act of removing the government itself. A government was removed and what followed was disaster.”

"I intend to reconcile all factions and divergent opinions and this is what a leader should do."

"I recognise the Nenadi Usman-led faction and I also recognise the existing faction of Barrister Julius Abure and also recognise legally what INEC is doing in relating with the Abure faction."

"This I do, devoid of any personal interest, devoid of any ambition, and devoid of any animosity to any group whatsoever."

“I am glad also to note that from the comments of my boss, His Excellency Governor Peter Obi, he remains in the Labour Party.”

He vowed to rally all factions together, “for us to sit down, understand each other better and move forward.

Smart move, one leg in ADC the other one in LP. They can't loose on both sides.

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu is not sellable in the north , this is a well know fact right now in the north.
The backlash is small compared to the monumental defeat awaiting tinubu in 2027.

Atiku has inherited buhari 12million votes so if the kebbi man likes, he should buy all the cars in the world for tinubu campaign, they will fail.

Lol! Atiku did not inherit anything, the cult following in the north started with Mallam Aminu Kano, then it moved to Shehu Musa Yar Adua, then to Buhari. If you look closely these people were not very wealthy but they cared about their people and commanded tremendous respect. Atiku does have this, he is a money bag willing to buy the people as such he doesn't commanded as much influence and respect. Look closely at most of Atiku's alliance, they are more with the south than the north.
