TUANKU:I said it the moment Wike went after Sowore trouble was bound to follow. Is he the only minister in the cabinet that must always respond or be on air? Some ministers haven’t even appeared on Arise or Channels once since this government began. I honestly don’t know what he’s trying to prove. They still don’t like him, and deep down they know he’s very treacherous. When the time is right, they’ll dump him without hesitation. |
ascendo:How can there be peace when one man never knows when to stop talking? Every now and then, he opens his mouth, and now his constant talking is bringing problems to his family. |
phosky:So that’s supposed to be an achievement? Funny how he’s suddenly silent when it comes to his friend Wike |
BlackViper:Nice one, he should go back to Gaza and support Hamas, even those protesting should all be sent back kto Gaza to continue their protest. |
DyshApp:They should just share the 10k among themselves, gold diggers. Let this be a lesson to others: start transferring your wealth to your parents, not to people who only show up for what they can get. All those confessions of love were clearly fake. If the love was real, they wouldn’t have to ask the man himself would’ve given something substantial from his heart. |
Paddy247:Go and teach instead if we check well, you probably didn’t even pass English, yet you’re here trying to correct others. |

Racoon:How difficult was it, really? We all know the amount involved is well over ₦20 billion per KM. No matter how it’s spun, Nigerians will judge your actions in the court of public opinion. The truth always finds its way out and when it does, there’ll be nowhere to hide |
Seun Osewa, born July 17, 1982, is a Nigerian internet entrepreneur best known for creating Nairaland, one of Africa’s most visited online forums. He hails from Ogun State, Nigeria. He enrolled at Obafemi Awolowo University in 1998 to study Electrical Engineering but did not complete his studies. Before starting Nairaland, he attempted to build a web-hosting business in 2003, which closed after three months due to lack of funds. Determined to succeed, he continued experimenting with online ventures and eventually launched several small discussion forums in late 2003, covering topics such as student life, IT, and the emerging GSM/telecom industry. In March 2005, Seun officially launched Nairaland as a general-purpose discussion forum designed for Nigerians both at home and abroad. Its wide coverage of politics, entertainment, technology, social issues, romance, and everyday life set it apart from existing platforms. Over the years, Nairaland has attracted millions of users and has been monetised primarily through advertisements and direct ad deals. Despite the platform’s success, Seun has maintained a low public profile. He is recognised as one of Nigeria’s most influential tech entrepreneurs, yet continues to live quietly, keeping details of his personal life private while running one of the continent’s most impactful online communities. Update (credit to Mutairu Umoru ): He declined an offer to buy the platform from two different parties: - Initial Offer: In 2010, some investors offered to buy Nairaland for $1 million, approximately ₦150 million at the time. Seun Osewa turned down this offer. - Recent Offers: More recently, two individuals have made offers to buy Nairaland: - Stephen Akintayo: Offered ₦1 billion ($2.4 million), with 20% cash and 80% land. - Gaius Chibueze (Bitcoin Chief): Offered ₦150 million. It's worth noting that Seun Osewa reportedly values Nairaland at ₦25 billion. Today, estimates suggest Nairaland is worth around $50,604,264.32 (₦20.5 billion to ₦25 billion, depending on conversion rates) as copied from LinkedIn by Tope Salahudeen

LegendHero:Wike remains there for now; he has successfully pushed everyone else away. The APC will not truly accept him, and eventually, they’ll discard him because he would only repeat the same divisive tactics within their party once brought in. |
Lithiumite:everything is now emotional in Nigeria one cannot make a simple comment without being emotional, go rest abeg |
fergie001:Wike and his allies must be delighted now, seeing that their plans are unfolding just as they intended. It’s hard to understand how someone could live with themselves while actively contributing to the destruction of the very platform that gave them visibility and success in the first place. |
LagosOrigin:NA lotto he de do now because we know dey hear his songs again |
Koralords:Yes, you’re right. But Wike, being the kind of person he is, would still want to attend the meeting he treats Abuja as if it were just another state. If any of these plans go ahead and he shows up, it would leave him deeply embarrassed |
eyesoflagos:They were both in the university, so what were they doing at a GCE center? Were they invigilators, or did they go there as mercenaries (to write on someone’s behalf)? |
nairavsdollars:Hamas spokesperson in Nigeria, he needs to the careful because when Israel reason you nobody go tell you . |
Oga The continued detention of civilians is unacceptable. Demand the immediate release of hostages and engage diplomatically with international partners to secure their safe return. At the same time, discourage actions that inflame the situation, such as staged confrontations at sea. Leadership must rise above rhetoric put humanitarian concerns first |
ogascomax:How has Dangote treated Nigerian workers? Have you ever heard of widespread complaints about his employees’ welfare before now? I personally know a friend who left the oil and gas sector to join Dangote Cement, and today, he is doing very well. PENGASSAN and their allies cannot force Dangote into unionism. In fact, if I were Dangote, I would not hesitate to let go of any workers still trying to push union politics inside his private business. This is a private enterprise, not a government establishment. Even in the oil and gas sector where I work, we are not part of any union, yet we handle major projects without interference. Why then is PENGASSAN not forcing us to join them? It clearly shows that there is a hidden agenda somewhere, and the whole noise is just an attempt to frustrate Dangote and his investments. Instead of chasing private businesses, PENGASSAN should focus on fixing the refineries and establishments already under their watch, which have been left to die. Dangote’s success should be an encouragement for more private investment, not an excuse for unnecessary union battles |
AMINDA:Well said, majority of the problems presently are Tinubu's fault, SFG say something else, or you want to blame PDP ? |
Are Dangote workers themselves complaining of poor welfare? If not, then union leaders should take their unionism elsewhere. Let’s be clear before becoming union members, these individuals were first Nigerians, so whatever bad policies the government introduces affect them just like every other citizen. The truth is, unions in this country have rarely delivered real benefits to their members. I was once part of one, so I know firsthand that the leaders enrich themselves while the ordinary members gain nothing. |
These are some of the reasons we don’t see enough investors coming into our country not because opportunities are lacking, but because of how issues are handled. We must be very careful with how the situation with Dangote is managed, as it sends a strong signal to the global business community. Other investors are watching closely, and the way this matter is resolved will either build confidence or drive them away. |
Helloworld123:They should forget all this union drama it has clearly not helped ordinary Nigerians. Look at Dangote’s cement companies: he ran them without union interference and they’re performing far better than most government establishments weighed down by union politics. Dragging unionism into a private business is unnecessary and destructive. Freedom of association doesn’t mean holding someone’s company hostage; the owner has every right to protect his business and let go of anyone disrupting productivity. Instead of stifling progress with endless demands and strikes, unions should focus on fixing the dead government-run refineries and other collapsing sectors where their influence has failed. Private businesses that create jobs and contribute to the economy should be allowed to thrive without being strangled by outdated union tactics. |
BlackViper:Oga, they’re confirmed punishment, but don’t solve problems by taxing people to death. Improve the economy first before piling more taxes on citizens. Nigerians will pay taxes willingly when they feel secure and comfortable; what matters is that taxes translate into reliable services and opportunities. Provide the basics that make people comfortable: good roads, stable power, affordable healthcare, quality education, and honest policing. Most importantly, ensure tax revenues are spent transparently and used for the public good not siphoned off by politicians or used to silence dissent. Introduce targeted, fair taxation, invest in job creation and small-business support, and strengthen accountability mechanisms so citizens can see real returns on what they pay. If the government wants compliance, it must earn trust through performance, fairness, and visible anti-corruption action then people will gladly contribute to nation-building |
PENGASSAN should leave Dangote alone. The Dangote Refinery is a private business, not a union-run venture. Instead of targeting him, focus on the government-owned refineries under your members’ management — most of which are non-functional. If PENGASSAN truly wants to make an impact, push the government to revive Nigeria’s refineries. Ordinary citizens gain nothing from endless strikes; they only enrich union leaders while making life harder for the people. Nigerians need solutions, not distractions. |
Nemere2020: |
poiZon:What happened is people were being kidnapped. If the roads were good, nobody would use that route. Tinubu is working. |
God1000:What do they stand to gain from Slovenia? It’s worth asking what real benefits come from outside actors who claim to support Palestine. Those who glorify Hamas are using the Palestinian struggle as a cover for other agendas. I worry that celebrating armed groups will only invite more violence and eventually backfire on the people they claim to defend. |
wizelink:He should learn to mind his business and allow Tinubu’s official spokespersons to respond on the President’s behalf. He speaks too often; in less than two years, the number of press conferences and media engagements is countless. Perhaps it’s best to leave him for Sowore to handle. |
omooba969:When he is the judiciary himself ![]() |
etokhana:Are you planning to arrange another press conference to respond to this? Because I heard you allegedly spent billions of naira on that recent sit-down with the news media. |
etokhana:Wike, with due respect, you are not Tinubu’s appointed spokesperson. He already has official spokespeople, including Bayo Onanuga, whose role is to respond where necessary. It may be best to allow them to do their job, rather than take it upon yourself. Otherwise, such actions may only bring unnecessary pressure and insults upon you. |
ogododo:Wike, you should be mindful of what comes out of your mouth next. If you go against Jonathan, the very man who supported you and made you governor, it will only expose your ingratitude. Continue your support for Tinubu if you wish but keep Jonathan’s name out of your mouth he does not need your advice. If you must advise anyone, advise Tinubu. |
