Don’t give me fake history lesson. Answer the question. Simple. Abi the question pain you?

Yoruba are true definition of evil

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Can you imagine that the only time a southerner has ever occupied the post of FCT minister, and these 0su banzas are the ones leading the attack on him.

No Northerner is attacking Wike and are even praising him for his good works.

But these vipers from the land of beasts forming Abuja residents are the ones all hating on Wike because of how Wike sanitised Rivers of their IPOB criminals and later refused to support their Pandora criminal


These people are the true enemies of both the SS and SW

See how they are defending this armed robber and kidnapper that must have had a hand in terrorising Bwari area.

This is how they were claiming their fellow Ibo who was arrested for kidnapping in Abuja was innocent and that the criminals killed in Lagos were on a film set.

They are the same bastards that have been castigating the entire Fulani race as bandits but will be claiming their criminals are innocent .
It's now getting clearer who the criminal race is in Nigeria and it is those who defend and make excuses for their criminals.

Stop trying to make sense out of their foolishness . Your sanity deserves better.

If crime is in their DNA what would you say about your tribe that are being led by criminals

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Crime is in their DNA.

They should investigate the idiot very well.

He may be a major armourer and head to the kidnappers terrorising FCT especially within the Bwari area.

Is it how devilish people from sad waste can be? Always wishing others evil.

FearlessYoruba:
They should shut down their services in poor region like sadEast and North, you don't deserve service you can't pay for

And you don't NDLEA display Yoruba faces for drug related crime? Hypocritical tribe of Nigeria

santaclaws:
Did you even read the post at all? It's an Agro/Cargo airport currently under construction, not even meant for passenger flights.

Now talking about those who can afford flights and transportation, is it your people who stand from Lagos to Owerri in CN Okoli and Chisco buses that can afford flight tickets? The ones who do, we see how NDLEA displays their faces every week for drug crimes.

You just open mouth waa dey talk nonsense, ozuor!

You guys defened him because your greedy nature now you are using it to justify your selfishness.

hotseat:
And Buhari built the Maradi rail project from Katsina State Budget?


@hotseat

That still doesn't not justify funding state project from national budget

KolaAdeniran:
Not a fan of Tinubu but El midget should shut up. No one heard him speak when Buhari built a road from Nigeria to Niger republic. Same Niger republic that is ridiculing Nigeria today. I hate people who speaks just because they are not in the dining table.

After using our money to develop Lagos States, that dirty, greedy and selfish tribe will be harassing other tribes in Lagos

Nasir El-Rufai Reacts to Allocation of ₦146b to Finance Lagos Green Line Metro in 2025 Budget
OjoneUpdatesDec 29, 2024 9:19 PM
A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress and former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai, has reacted to the allocation of ₦146 billion to fund the Lagos Green Line Metro Rail Phase 1 in the 2025 national budget.




In a post on his social media account on X, formerly known as Twitter, the ex-governor argued that the allocated amount was too much for just one project, pointing out that the amount sums to 57 percent of the entire budget of the Ministry of Transportation.

He tweeted, "There are other curious items I have seen in the proposed (2025) budget. One glaring example is the plan to transfer N146.14 billion to MOFI as counterpart funding for the Lagos Green Line Metro Rail Phase 1. This raises many questions. The proposed allocation for the metro-line within a state is 65% of the capital budget and 57% of the entire budget of the Ministry of

I have been there ,it is truly beautiful

Tinubu 2027 political strategy if you know, you know.

They will use this to appease their Northern political slave master

This criminal should be kicked out of our national life

We say no to tribal bigot Tinubu must be sent back Yoruba land

Wike has been made a political orphan in Rivers State

Which industry did Tinubu build?

yarimo:

Not all the yam, I buy Onisha yam here in Lagos

Richtaiwo:
Shitty statistics.

Benue state remains the largest producer of yams in Nigeria. Go to mile 12 in Lagos, all the yam dealers got their yams from Benue state. Some even buy and way bill to East.

Highest in production per household? What in the name of shuku okike is that supposed to mean?

"Yoruba ranu" they have succeeded in emboldened criminals in the name of Tribalism.

Please excuse the south from slave and master affairs , This is purely north VS Yoruba

Christ4ever:
Southern Elders should also knock Northern elders for knocking Tinubu about the Tax bills.

Let the best knocker win.

1. Tax reform
2. Local government autonomy
3. State Police

If Tinubu gets them through, then his other failures can be pardoned.

You no fit dey mine gold for Zamfara and chop am alone and then use resources of the south to build the north.

Southerners were not created to serve the North.

Senators, Others Condemn Tinubu For ‘Declaring No Reversal’ On Tax Bills

Senators, Others Condemn Tinubu For ‘Declaring No Reversal’ On Tax Bills
The declaration of President Bola Tinubu that there will be no reversal on the controversial tax reform bills has met strong condemnation from Northern leaders.


Osun Defender reports that Tinubu, during his maiden media chat held on Monday in Lagos, acknowledged that the bills might not be embraced by everyone, but maintained that there was no turning back on them.

He added that the tax reform bills were necessitated by the need to eliminate colonial-based assumptions in the nation’s tax environment.

But the position of the President was criticised by the Northern leaders, comprising members of the National Assembly, the League of Northern Democrats, and the Northern Elders’ Forum, who described it as unilateral and devoid of inclusive consultations.


The lawmaker representing Nasarawa South Senatorial District, Senator Mohammed Onawo, while speaking to Saturday Punch, said the President must allow National Assembly members to perform their duties without undue interference from other arms of government.

He emphasised the importance of adhering to due legislative procedures, noting that, as a former legislator, the President should respect the established process.

Onawo stated, “If the President, who was once a legislator, is passing judgment on bills that are before the National Assembly, it is unfortunate.


“Be it good or bad, the President should let the bills go through the normal legislative process and get the approval of the legislators. If they get approval, they will become law, but if they don’t, they die.


“I don’t subscribe to a situation where a president introduces a bill to the National Assembly and doesn’t give the lawmakers a chance to go through it and says it’s here to stay. For a legislature as reputable as this one, I think that’s wrong.”

He added, “Most of the people, even the legislators commenting on the bills, have not gone through the full content to know whether they’re good or bad. It’s just the summary that is being passed around.

“There is no bill initiated by anyone that is totally bad. The right thing is for legislators to go through the bills, identify contentious areas, and amend those that do not represent the public’s opinion or will not benefit the general public.

“Even laws as old as 100 years can be amended, so I don’t see any reason why anyone will claim it’s good or bad without reviewing the content.

“We will look at the bills, and if any part is contentious or doesn’t benefit the people we represent, we will bring our opinions together, and at the end of the day, those with popular opinion will ensure the bills pass.”

Also commenting on the issue, Senator Ibrahim Gobir, who represented Sokoto East in the 9th Assembly, accused Tinubu of playing “politics of tribalism” with the tax reform bills.

According to him, the President cannot unilaterally implement the bills without legislative approval.

He criticised the proposed allocation of value-added tax revenue, saying, “If the parliament agrees with the bills, that’s fine, but if they do not agree, what can he do? Will he do it without the legislature?

“The bills are not only about the North; they are about Nigeria. You cannot be the president of only the Yoruba; he is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. All Nigerians, not just Yoruba people, voted for him. Why should he be a regional president when this bill will benefit only Lagos, Rivers, and Ogun states?

“Section 77 of the bill is the main issue. Consumers in Nigeria are not only Yoruba or Lagosians; they are all over the nation. When I drink Pepsi here in Abuja, I have to pay VAT to Lagos – why? If that is the case, then for any food item brought from the North, the VAT on it should be paid to the North.

“How can you give the impression that one section of the country is better than the other? What about the people from the Niger Delta who produce the oil that everyone is stealing?”

When asked if the legislators would review the bills before passing them, Gobir said, “We are not going to review them; we are going to dump them unless they correct all the abnormalities in the bills.”

On its part, the Northern Elders’ Forum said Tinubu’s declaration that the “tax reform bills are here to stay” undermined the principle of democracy.

The spokesman for the NEF, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, cautioned Tinubu against causing a crisis between the executive and legislative arms of government.


He said, “President Tinubu’s declaration raises concerns. The potential for bypassing the legislative process, inherent in his strong assertion, undermines the principles of democratic governance.

“By pre-emptively declaring the bills’ passage, the President risks alienating lawmakers and potentially creating unnecessary political friction.”

Commenting on Tinubu’s declaration, the League of Northern Democrats cautioned the President against rigidity on issues affecting the general welfare of citizens.

Speaking on behalf of the group, a former spokesman for the ex-Vice President Namadi Sambo and a pioneer member of the LND, Umar Sani, said, “We know that the country requires tax reform. One of the reasons for tax reform is to fight corruption.

“Corruption is very high because people don’t pay taxes. If people pay taxes, the rate of corruption will be lower because you know the larger part of the money you steal will go to the government.

“But there are areas we want the government to review, like the inheritance tax, which is against religion, and some other incidentals. There are areas we agree with the bills, and we have given suggestions on areas we don’t agree with. In summary, our position is not against the bills.

“The President has offended the sensibilities of many Nigerians, particularly those of our leaders, with his declaration, and it shows the level of independence of our National Assembly. The President should not be rigid in
