Have you seen a petrol tanker spill fuel before? Let me give you two instances... It happened at Otedola bridge in LAGOS. It also happened at Eleme in Rivers State. On both occasions, spilled fuel runs down and burns cars along its path. It doesn't explode at different places without having a chain trail of destruction along its path.

If you lack wisdom seek it and stop displaying ignorance.

You don't have sense, I'm in Auchi, the explosion was caught on video, a 75,000 litre fuel tanker exploded after spilling fuel for hours, also considering the fact that there is pipeline in those area, what else do you expect?

Fubara is playing chess with Wike and his goons.

Tinubu fears the northern interest than any other thing. This is why his government has been dilly dallying about bandits, fulani jihadists and BH terrorists even rehabilitating them as repentant and deradicalised terrorists.

No state of emergency in any northern states even with all these scary insecurity situation but Rivers deserves one.

If Peter Obi becomes president let him rule as if the North doesn't exist and see what happens after 4 years, in all of recent Nigerian presidents only Tinubu has been able to stand up to the north albeit respectfully, i know you love playing politics of hate but you should use your head sometimes.

I sha no want any coup for Nigeria.

So apparently, Wike took control of a faction of the PDP, then instructed his proteges to defect to APC, thereby committing anti party activities against his own faction of PDP, Wike is a Desperate man and his desperation has no bound.

givedemwotowoto:
Let’s be honest, this is supposed to be a normal Presidential directive that Nigerians have been asking for over 15 years now, but watch as Agbadorians will start praising him to high heavens because the leadership bar has been set very low to the barest minimum since 2015.

All these shenanigans don’t amount to facing terr***sts head on and eliminating them, and bringing justice to the thousands of lives lost and millions of others displaced permanently in IDPs and across the country

Only a fool chases rats in the middle of a burning house

But if they fail to implement it you will wail 😩, if it was that simple, Jonathan should have done it.

I really don't understand people
You see Muslims (Nigerian) supporting Hamas
An organization that doesn't want peace, that wants land it doesn't own

But come here and hate IPOB? ... Someone make it make sense to me

How do you support Isreal and not support Nigeria?

saintopus:
How?
The people of Osun State seem to love him if for the sake of his son Adeleke David also known as Davido.

Wetin I sabi sef

You no really sabi anything, I don't do the PDAPC stuff but Adeleke seem like an ineffective leader, he's not done anything tangible since he became the governor of Osun State, The APC leaders in Osun had already smelled blood that was why they didn't allow him in, he's a goner already.

We all agree that this is Audio withdrawal right?

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the withdrawal of police personnel from VIP security duties.

The President gave the order during a security meeting with service chiefs including the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu; the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke; the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Tosin Adeola Ajayi.

The meeting comes on the heels of the waves of abduction and security threats across the country.

President Tinubu directed that henceforth, police authorities will deploy their personnel to concentrate on their core police duties.

According to him, VIPs who want police protection will now request well-armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, shortly after the meeting notes that many parts of Nigeria, especially remote areas, have few policemen at the stations, thus making the task of protecting and defending the people difficult.

“In view of the current security challenges facing the country, President Tinubu is desirous of boosting police presence in all communities.

“Already, President Tinubu has approved the recruitment of 30,000 additional police officers. The federal government is also collaborating with the states to upgrade police training facilities nationwide,” he said.

Yes, terrorism is all about talking, broadcasts, and speeches made

Simon Ekpa was also jailed for broadcasting and speeches so what's your point?

Didijiji:
showa daft or something?

40k and 50k which is an enemy to the end user / consumer?

You have zero economic knowledge, you should take your economic classes very serious.

Didijiji:
How can you compare Buhari and Tinubu?

OKay let’s even compare commodity prices

Who is better?

You guys lack basic economic knowledge, Bag of Rice was sold for less than 10,000 before Buhari and same 50 kg bag of rice sold for about 40,000 when Buhari left, that's about 400 percent increase, today same rice is sold for about 60,000 that's about 50 percent increase, so which other commodity price do you want us to evaluate?

Even if that is True, Aregbesola was a failure of a minister and he was really talentless, anything Tinubu is doing today, Buhari did worse and they kept quiet, Nigerians needs new breed of technocracts not clueless and talentless people like Aregbesola.

Biodun556:
Wike owns PDP. He is minister of fct for some reasons

No Law in Nigeria stipulated that the minister of fct shall be the owner of the PDP, so what's your point?

Civil service job is probably the worst job to do in Nigeria unless you're too scared to try other things out or you lack ambition, according to the governor, people were being owed pension in 2012 but the said pension has now been payed in 2025 in Flagrant disregard for the time value of money..

Any civil servant being owed 1 million naira in 2012 was entitled to about 6200 dollars, a life saving amount as at that time..

That same civil servant today will get less than 700 dollar today, a whooping 850 percent loss in value, that's only if the person is still alive to receive the disgrace of a pension being offered.


Ps..

I'm not putting the blame on the governor, I'm just trying to point out why anybody who have any type of ambition as a Youth should avoid civil service job, this sector should be left for those who doesn't know what to do with their lives.

This one is commendable, anything to ease the burden on the already over burdened Nigerians is very welcomed.

laiperi:
The Lieutenant Yerima incident reminded us that Nigeria is still deeply gripped in the mentality of Military rule superiority over Civilian administration. The same mentality which the Army assumes to derogate the polity as “bloody civilians”. The Army thinks they are still in charge of the country and every civilian rule must be at their command, wish and caprices. We see the Military in places they have no business, used to intimidate and enforce their will.

Indeed, retired Generals constitute themselves into a shadow government that exercises their culture of corruption by grabbing the most lucrative sector of the economy. As much as Civilian Administrations try to get hold of how much mineral resources are leaving the country, no one dares challenge them. It is part of the daily News that Generals are controlling the underground economy that should have been normal income of any sane country.

Generals are at liberty to grab precious land, properties and share businesses they desire, no question asked. Lt. Yerima, a young man at the initial stage of his career, is not the problem. He is only following the established culture of corruption ordered by the retired general that was put in place right from the time Ibrahim Babangida overthrew Buhari.

Nigeria must remember that it was this same Babangida celebrating the culture of corruption with his book launch about how Nigeria was saved by the Military. He accepted Structural Adjustment rejected by Buhari. It was the coffin that nailed the Middle Class in Nigeria. We have never recovered and the Depreciation of Naira continues since then.

Nigerians are not blind and not all of us are gullible cheering and welcoming Military men indiscretions every time. The fact that we see Nigerians cheering Lt. Yerima, though not new, does not mean the majority of Nigerians are not watching in disgust. This is a country the whole world recognizes for their intellect but fails to use it to better themselves at home. How can they cheer the Military that uses guns to terrorize their people into submission?

Nigerian politicians like Wike are the one in charge of Nigeria purse, the military can only steal what they are allocated, they can't steal more than the politicians, so what are you ranting about?

Wike is a cry baby, it's obvious nobody has ever had the gut to tell him no, not even the sitting governor of his own state, he's just been humbled by a "mere" soldier, he must feel so embarrassed waking up this morning.

amazingspiderma:
500k is no longer a decent salary even for a bachelor in the face of the economic summersaults policy of the current administration.

500k earners were said to be middle class before Tinubu regime, to be honest with you, 500k is no longer a big money in Nigeria.

Equal2DeTask:
What about those earning below 100k?

100k is like 3500 naira daily, that's barely enough for morning and afternoon food for one person.

seunmsg:
Depends on the person. The responsibilities of an unmarried man in his early twenties earning 500k cannot be compared to that of another married man with four children and a wife to cater for. The young guy will be able to save if he’s prudent while the married guy will struggle to manage the salary monthly without taking additional loan.

Considering the fact that only about 5 percent of Nigerians earn that much, that's to tell you the level of suffering Tinubu and you guys has brought on Nigerians, i even thought i was living extravagantly, until I was able to accept the reality that this is the new normal now.

mrvitalis:
There is no excuse now why Tinubu won't restructure the country and give yorubas Lagos

The only difference is that it restructuring Nigeria demands a constitutional amendment which means 2/3 of state assemblies have to be on board.

breadtoaster:
We all not perfect, I can state some of the obvious ones he had issue with

When we came together, I was a loud person. I liked to express myself openly, even during arguments, so I would talk loudly. He, on the other hand, is very quiet. That was different for me, so I had to learn how to express my anger calmly — which feels weird because there’s no energy in it. How do you show happiness or unhappiness without life? How do you just stay passive, as if the issue doesn’t exist, and feel comfortable going through it without feeling anything in your body or the need to actively do something to change it. We were somewhere were a lady as talking passionately in a group sort of, the next thing i saw my husband ask sorry do you have an issue with me? because the way you are talking? this lady was just talking, I didn't honestly notice any energy directed at him but he cant just stand high energy sort of (maybe his nature i dont know). it was so embarrassing to everyone there and he didnt even know what he did was wrong. Since then, I am scared to have him attend any social thing that would be in a group setting because I dont know what low self esteem attitude he would potray or antisocial attitude.

I’m also a blunt person. I tend to say things as they are. For example, I might say, “Haba, you’re not even assisting us to do better. It’s been months now, how many times have you applied?” instead of saying, “Please dont forget to apply for something for us today.” then tomorrow " pls apply for something today", then tomorrow continue again. That's too much energy, I dont even have it, I have so many conflicting priorities, assignment, group work, full time job, full time school to handle. How do I baby a grown adult to do what they’re supposed to do when they should do it?

I’ve always been that person who doesn’t need to be pushed to act. I’m not the most diplomatic person honestly.

For example, when he said if he doesn’t use a condom, there’ll be no sex because he doesn’t have a job here and he clearly isn’t applying, I felt hurt. Why should I be treated that way, after having only two sexual experiences in my entire life, you arent even looking for a work and I keep begging, when we can find two jobs , do together and it would be our money? So I told him, “Let’s just go back home to Nigeria where you have a job, so you can be able to knack me appropriately. But I’m not having condom-based sex for months, which means we won’t have sex again until we’re in Nigeria.”

That annoyed him because he felt I was threatening him by saying he should go back — meanwhile, that statement included me too, not just him.

Diplomacy at that point would have been to just agree, look sexy, and maybe hope and pray that during a knack session, he’d throw the condom away and want it raw.

But honestly. I’m wired logically — all that “arrangement above” feels like too much mental work. Thinking about how to “trick” someone to get my way doesn’t come naturally to me. Yet it seems most people don’t like the plain truth — they prefer to be “tricked”.

For me, it’s the opposite. I get angry when someone tries to trick me into doing something. I hate it with my life. I feel manipulated. I prefer you to sit down and talk about issues with me, reason them out logically, and find a middle ground. If that middle ground isn’t working, I’d want to comeback and say, “This ground has shifted o, I’m not feeling this middle ground anymore,” and then we talk again until we find another way.

Another thing I do — I might innocently say, “Ah, so-and-so just started this new side hustle o, what can we also do?” I don’t realize it sounds like comparison to him. But I’m genuinely only trying to share something that inspired me, to start a conversation about how we can improve our lives. He gets upset, saying I’m comparing him, while I’m just thinking about survival and progress.

When he wasn’t applying or doing anything on this our hustle to survive, I told him at one point, “This is becoming too much. Between school, work, and trying to study for certification exams, I’m stretched. When I come back from work, maybe you can help us with cooking since you’re not applying for jobs. If you were applying, I’d gladly cook for hours after work. But I can’t keep doing everything. This is a contract job — what if they don’t renew it? We should be putting in serious effort.

Yet, he never applied or showed concern. He’d just casually apply once in say two weeks. And I kept wondering how he really thinks we’ll survive. So I decided I won’t cook, since he’s not taking responsibility — I’d rather focus on the priorities of finding a better job so we can take care of our needs and I wont keep living on credit, because any credit we end up taking is in my name and in my credit card so I have the loan on my end consciously or subconsciously.

Oh, and I also talk to my friends on the phone. It’s not like I’m doing bad things — I just want to learn, share ideas, and stay sane. He, on the other hand, doesn’t really have friends — not here, not even back in Nigeria. Maybe some people from school, but no close friends or anyone I know. Just living alone. I used to think that was strength, but I didn’t realize that lack of social interaction could haunt me.

So now, he expects me to also live that way. But abroad is already lonely and depressing — how do I survive without talking to people? I need communication for my mental health.

The thing is you guys are not compatible, and getting married to someone who's not compatible with you only means misery, not all relationships should end in marriage, the thing is only love is not enough to keep a marriage, as an adult you should know that, I love him or he loves me, that is just about 10 percent of the marriage because apparently love is just a feeling, action really matters, and that's where so many of us makes mistakes, you need to be able to identify red flags, you need to study their character, know their temperament, look at their effort towards the relationship and most importantly determine if you both personality and goal really align, the absence of this only means you're signed up for torment...




For example, from your explanation your husband is obviously a controlling husband who wants to micromanage your affairs, only this bad trait will make you feel suffocated and trapped, simply because someone has taken your autonomy away and now you are scared to do the little things that really matters to you like dancing or talking to people on the phone, this will only lead to anxiety and that's more problem for you.

Exousiang01:
You assume they are police officers and based on that assumption you are making this kind of statement.
Until some of you start rottening in jail you won't know what libel and defamation is.
Were they on police uniforms?
Were there in police van?
You just saw some people chase a car shoot it and booooom.
This GenZ una go learn the hard way when the time is right.



I could say the teenager in the GLK is an internet fraudster and a member of a cult group which I might be 90% right about but the law doesn't permit me to say so.

I think you're insane, the Nigerian police has been doing much more than this, they operate with inpunity, Nigerian police that kidnapped, Handcuffed and blindfolded Very Dark Man in the presence of Banks security camera, some months ago Nigerian police shot and killed a school kid because his father was running away from them, i can provide you with links of incidents where Nigerian police has done much worse than this but here you are talking about defamation, that's absurd.
