Some APC paid mischief makers above are struggling hard to paint him black anyway I understand they're doing what they are paid for

May God help,

Eya, has APC rewarded him for his loyalty and support?

Yes, hunger and insecurity will deal with you merciless for that 8Years I just pray for you to survive it

tensazangetsu20:
Lol if Peter obi contests in 2027, God will punish him and his family miserably. Tinubu must rule Nigeria for 8 years.

Pray to survive your demigod with hunger and insecurity by 2027 before talking about who to vote for

joelbooks:
I want to use this opportunity to apologise to Peter Obi and all the Obidients for not voting for him in the last presidential election. By God's grace, in 2027, I'll definitely not vote for him again. that man will never become the president of this great nation.

Work hard to earn your stipend, we understand it is your hustle

Throwback:
Atiku’s defeat to Tinubu is so painful to Atiku that he will never get over it, even if he abandons Dubai and relocate to Nigeria so he can get his dying wish to rule Nigeria even if for 1 day.

He will continue to toil in vain with his boy, Adaobi.

The guy is not lieing,he single handedly funded PDP and Abasanjo campaign those days. I know him very well including some of LG chairmen he funded their elections campaign fund

allthingsgood:
HAHAHA Ole!!

Which business did u do in naija that gave u $4Billion

Oloriburuku

Tinubu has destroyed this country

Nobody is bitter about it,my concern is that it will discourage investment in housing development and that will worsen the housing deficit issue in the country, if the government can not provide funding for housing development or build houses for mortgage to her citizens ,they don't have moral justification to tell landlords who struggle to build his house how to collect his or her rent . A ton of iron is N650,000 to do foundation only you should be talking about minimum of 10million and there's no way you will complete building without borrowing.

mastermaestro:
Monthly rental is a global practice. Nobody is asking for free housing from private owners. Just make it monthly so wage earners don't choke trying to pay rent.

May I remind you that house rentage used to be on monthly basis in Nigeria until about 2 decades ago when sharks took over and began demanding two to three years from prospective tenants. Someone wants to bring regulation to a vital area of human existence. You should not be bitter unless you are a part of the chain bearers.

Yes, but it will discourage investment in housing development because it won't be easy for the landlords save up

quote author=Ikem11 post=128156303]
It is a good development... collecting monthly or yearly still boils down to same amount only that it's more easier for tenant to pay and up to the landlord to save.[/quote]

How is a good development, is he going to finance the buildings for the landlords?

millet:
Good development

We know where you are from, we are not surprised at your comment that's what you are good at once the person is not from your tribe

yarimo:
Innoson is not supposed to be on that list at all. What is he manufacturs are sub standard cars

Tinubu Should Be In Guinness World Records For Causing Nigerians Most Hardship – Peter Obi
Tinubu Should Be In Guinness World Records For Causing Nigerians Most Hardship – Peter Obi
January 27, 2024
NEWS
Tinubu had recently bragged that he deserved to be included in the Guinness World Records over his performances in the country since he assumed leadership.



The presidential candidate of the Labour Party and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, has stated that President Bola Tinubu should be in the Guinness World Records for “causing Nigerians the most hardship – untold hardship.”


Obi added that he had put the 2023 general elections behind him already and he was now focusing on governance and real issues.

Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, he noted that Nigerians on the streets could judge the performance of Tinubu so far since May 2023.

Recall that Tinubu had recently bragged that he deserved to be included in the Guinness World Records over his performances in the country since he assumed leadership.


Reacting Peter Obi said, “He may actually be correct when he claims that his name deserves to be in the Guinness World Records. Don’t forget that people’s names don’t always make it into the Guinness World Records for only altruistic reasons. So, it depends on which angle he is coming from. If the idea is to put his name in the Guinness Book of Records for causing Nigerians the most hardship – untold hardship, of course he is spot on and I will totally agree with him because his reforms are not achieving what they are meant to achieve.

“Well, for me, the biggest lesson (from the 2023 general elections) is the fact that Nigerians are actually committed to good governance. They are not as complacent as people thought they were because they, especially the youths, were actually committed to doing the right thing. That is why they came out in their numbers to participate in the elections.

“The second lesson is the realisation that the leaders, most people in the elite class are not actually interested in good governance because you can classify the electoral umpire as part of the elite class, the government, all of us are not prepared to do the right thing because if the elites are prepared to do the right thing, the result or the outcome of the election would have been different.

“But for me the elections have come and gone and I don’t want to talk about the issue of the 2023 elections again. It has come and gone and I am done with it. What I am talking about now are issues of governance because the average Nigerian today is talking about the Nigeria of today, and the Nigeria of tomorrow. That is what is important.”

Speaking on how he rates the government so far, he said, “That is really a question for the generality of Nigerians to answer. Ask the average Nigerian how he is faring today. The truth is that we have many more Nigerians thrown into poverty, millions of Nigerians don’t know where the next meal will come from. Nobody is sure what the price of a cup of rice, garri or a loaf of bread will be tomorrow. So, it is Nigerians that you should ask the question.

“It is not a question for me to answer. It is not something I alone will tell you. Ask Nigerians, the masses out there on the streets of Nigeria and you will get a feel of what they are going through. But I know that the situation is critical.”

It is very easy to detect someone in the fool's paradise. so you are now God that knows tomorrow and can give power to whoever pleases him. My laughing 🤣 is very necessary because I know your criminal president is dealing with you with hunger 🤣🤣

sinero:
Laughing unnecessarily is what losers do anyway. If u like laugh till thy kingdom come, ur Yahoo yahoo saint will not smell d corridor of power.

Tinubu can not successfully use Jonathan's template, Hr can't win majority in southern states except SW the best bet for him is rigging

Whalis:
North doesn't know how calculative Tinubu is. Tinubu will accurately adopt the template of Jonathan in 2011. Win all states and forget about sharia states. If he can achieve that he wins.

Former President Goodluck part 2 loading

You never see something, you supported tribe bigot like your brother Buhari to succeed Buhari what where you expecting? Oh you thought his bigot will favor your region? I am laughing

In sane country Tinubu should have been shot by fire squad. You need to cure yourself of this disease called tribalism

TimeManager:
In a saner country,Atiku should have been bundled to US to share a jail room with Jefferson as partner-in-crime.

-kiss the truth!

That's why we need strong opposition to keep people in power on toe to do the right thing

The Governors of the South-south geopolitical zone, represented by the BRACED Commission (Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, and Delta States), have announced plans to engage with the federal government regarding the decentralization and rehabilitation of seaports in the region.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
In addition, they expressed the need for a constitutional review to devolve more powers, resources, and responsibilities to the states for enhanced economic growth, development, security, and peaceful coexistence.

During a meeting hosted by Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, the governors discussed key infrastructure development, environmental protection, and regional economic cooperation, emphasizing mutual benefits for sustainable development in the South-South.

Please show your picture to warn decent men

Jennyclay:
Why is the man now making video, he should have raise his hand on her and see if the embassy won’t send him back to Nigeria, he’s not a saint either .

Probably the husband wasn’t taking good care of her!
Her reaction said it all.

Personally if I’m not getting enough Money, sex and true love from my man, I will definitely look elsewhere .

Only for tribal bigot from your region

pharmagba:
Tinubu is God answered prayer to Nigeria

We know the region that have agenda to move FCT to Lagos so which agenda are you talking about again? You guys should keep supporting failures on the alter of tribalism why hunger kill everyone last last

pharmagba:
Because you can no longer steal our money again
Stop the 5th columnist agenda

Nigeria shall be great again.

Are you sure it is not planned to give reason for relocation FCT to Lagos?

ravensckar:
Every passing day, it's becoming obvious that the insecurity issue that is bedevilling Abuja is politically motivated. Tinubu appointed Ribadu (an ex-police officer) as a National Security Adviser. This has never happened before, that position is always occupied by military men. Secondly, he appointed a Southerner (Wike of all people) as a minister of FCT. Anyone with functioning brain cells would see that the President is daring the North and they will show him. My only concern is the citizens that will be caught in the cross fire because where two Elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.

Mr. President, this is not Lagos where you have absolute control. Your government should be one of inclusiveness and not divisiveness. We've long suffered misrule and cannot afford to see you fail. Please apply a 'political solution' to this problem. Nowhistanding, all those who are responsible for the current spate of kidnappings must be brought to book.

Megacity’s streetlight poles with no illumination
Guardian NigeriaJan 21, 2024 4:00 AM
Across many major roads and streets of Lagos are streetlight poles that do not illuminate roads and streets at night. This is a huge departure from what it used to be between 2015 and 2019, when the LightUp Project of the state government was launched.

Across many major roads and streets of Lagos are streetlight poles that do not illuminate roads and streets at night. This is a huge departure from what it used to be between 2015 and 2019, when the LightUp Project of the state government was launched.

When the project was very active, many motorists could drive across major roads without their headlamp on, while commuters at major bus stops and roads could walk seeing who is coming ahead of them a kilometre away.

All the benefits that come with a well-lit road including checking the activities of petty thieves have disappeared as many streetlights across the state are not functional or not being powered to provide light.

Some of the major roads and streets that were illuminated then but no longer lit include, Oshodi up to Mangoro, along Iyana Ipaja – Sango road; Ikeja through Isokoko Police Station to Pen-Cinema; Ikeja inside through Guinness to Pen-Cinema, among others.

When the incumbent governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, assumed duty, the hope of continuity of the laudable project was raised, though he noted that the cost of running and maintaining the project was on the high side.

A civil servant, Law Bolya, lamented the unpleasant nature of unwelcomed darkness at night across many locations in Lagos.

“By the nature of my work, I always drive at night. There was a time the long poles fitted in the middle of Apapa Oshodi expressway were with light, which brightened everywhere along the road.
“All of a sudden, the poles became moribund and the road has since been added to the list of roads where darkness is the order of the day every night.
“There are many dangerous spots along the road. Toyota Bus Stop is one of such dangerous spots, where a lot of people have been robbed of their phones and valuable items owing to darkness that pervades the area at night.
“Movement from Oshodi to Gbagada axis is another journey that is unpalatable at night where there are poles without light.
“There was a night that an unusual traffic occurred along the axis and it was a long stretch. Fear gripped many drivers who were at the mercy of hoodlums that night.
“I, therefore, call on the Lagos State government to change the narration of Lagos State, which is the commercial nerve centre of the federation by giving it a befitting status with functional streetlights dotting its roads. It is a shame that any part of the city of Lagos should be in darkness with the type of revenue being generated in Lagos.
“There is no excuse to keep Lagos in darkness, no excuse at all and posterity would not forgive those in charge of Lagos, keeping a city like this in darkness that has everything it takes to look like New York in the United States of America” she said.

A trader, Mich Ade, who resides in Agege, lamented the condition of streetlights in that axis too.


“We enjoyed a serene environment with beautiful light at night just some years back. We enjoyed bright light from Mangoro, after leaving Ikeja, to Pen Cinema. Passing through Isokoko Police Station at night was without panic or fear.
“Since the beginning of this administration, the axis under reference has been left without light. But for Zenith Bank and other hotels and offices along that road that have security light, the entire road would have been in constant stark darkness.
“The poles were suddenly removed with false hope to the residents in the area that better things were in the offing. Since then, nothing had been done to bring back the light, making the area to look as if it is no longer part of Lagos State.
“The situation is so bad that after Isokoko Police Station, the road is very dangerous to navigate at night. On one occasion, I was going home and was compelled to pass the road.
“Shortly after Isokoko Police station, close to AP Filling Station, two hoodlums waiting for prey shouted that I should take another direction contrary to where I was going.
“God immediately came to my aid, and I shouted Blood of Jesus and immediately, they ran back.
“The second time I was compelled to pass the road again, I was stopped by a concerned Policeman at Isokoko Police Station who warned me of the activities of hoodlums along the road at night. He later asked a policeman who was passing with his motorcycle to assist me, who did and I paid him.
“To me, security of the governed should be the priority of any leader of a state. Everybody knows that hoodlums would always operate under the cover of darkness and since every leader would not want to endanger himself or herself or members of his family moving in the dark, it behooves leaders to have concern for their fellow citizens and no amount is too much to spend on security.
“It is when one is secured that one can live. If anything happens to anyone in the dark, and the person becomes incapacitated, what is life to that person again?

“Those in authority should empathise and know that citizens are human beings too who voted them to power and expecting that they would make everything convenient for them. It is not that they and their families would be under protection and make the people that voted them into offices prone to danger.
“The axis in question has been left without light since the beginning of this administration and there is no language to describe this action more than ‘inhuman’,”he said.

A worker, Are Edun, who plies Ikeja – Guinness – Pen-Cinema axis, also decried the situation of the road at night.

“In the last administration, the light from Ikeja to Pen-Cinema via Guinness was not just bright but a kind of beauty to behold. But overtime the light became non-functional. After a long time, this administration made available solar energy light from Pen Cinema to the roundabout before getting to Guinness.
“It was later solar energy poles were also erected from Ikeja to somewhere around Guinness but the light was a shadow of the past in terms of brightness. But for the offices along that road with security light, it would be difficult to know at some point if there were streetlights along the road.
“At some point, the poles with their dim light are erected on one side of the dual carriage road, neglecting the other side,” he said.

A civil servant, whose office is not far from Oshodi, but pleaded anonymity, said it is a shame to pass through Oshodi at night.
“From under the bridge to Bolade and to Mongoro Bus Stop, which used to be very bright with streetlights on at night is now in darkness every night.
“Of note is that when the streetlights were functional, they provided a measure of security from Oshodi to Bolade Bus Stop, helping to boost the confidence of commuters as they navigate the corridor, while walking or waiting to board buses. The nauseating thing is that the moribund poles are there.
“And the darkness and un-functional streetlights extends to as far as Abule Egba and beyond. Also, the new overhead bridge at Ikeja commissioned recently was inaugurated without streetlights.”

When Lagos Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotosho was contacted, he agreed that some areas were truly in darkness and that the government was aware, but there are plans to gradually address the issues of non-functional streetlights.

His words: “You are not wrong about some areas in Lagos still in darkness. There are so many places without light. And in some places the streetlights are not bright. What we are trying to do is to carry out some retrofitting to have bulbs that do not consume too much energy. It can be seen that where we are having light, it is white and bright. This is just to say that we are yet to complete the exercise. It is not economically viable to power streetlights the way we used to do in the past.

“Everybody knows what the price of diesel is now. It is not easy at all to use diesel and generator to power streetlights these days. It is very expensive and does not make any economic sense, spending that kind of money to power streetlights.
“What we are trying to do is to change the system to the streetlights being powered by discos, Eko Electricity or Ikeja Electricity Company. Another thing we can do is to change to gas. It is, however, taking a little bit of time for some of them that are being changed to gas.

Very soon, many of those areas in darkness will have light again. Also, the life span of some of the generators we are using are overstretched.”

200 attacks, 87 deaths, & 176 kidnappings recorded in FCT since Tinubu assumed office – Report
politicsnigeria.comJan 20, 2024 10:45 AM

Since President Bola Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, over 200 violent attacks have been recorded across all six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), leading to the death of at least 87 residents and the kidnapping of 176 individuals.

The figures were compiled from data provided by Beacon Consulting, a local security monitoring firm, and various media reports on violent incidents, including kidnappings and killings in the FCT.

The rising insecurity in the FCT has become a cause for concern among residents and authorities. Once considered relatively immune to security challenges, the capital city is now grappling with an increasing wave of criminal activities, particularly kidnapping.

Over the last three years, close to 50 kidnap cases have been recorded in Abuja, involving more than 200 individuals. The severity of the issue is evident when analyzing data from January 2021 to June 2023, revealing approximately 40 recorded cases with 236 victims.

Economic consequences are substantial, with confirmed ransom payments totalling N653.7 million between 2021 and 2022. Residents and businesses in affected areas bear the brunt of security challenges, impacting daily life and economic activities.

Notable incidents in the past seven months include the abduction of seven persons, including six girls, on January 5, 2024, in the Bwari Area Council. The latest incident involves the kidnapping of the wife and an in-law of a lawyer, Cyril Adikwu, on January 18, 2024, in the Kurudu area of Abuja.

In response to the surge in insecurity, Inspector-General of Police Olukayode Egbetokun launched the Special Intervention Squad (SIS) on Wednesday.

The SIS is tasked with patrolling and securing communities in the border areas of the FCT to curb and mitigate violent attacks. The deployment aims to address the security concerns in the FCT, especially in crisis-prone areas and exit routes.

While Nigerians call for lasting solutions to the security challenges, the SIS, composed of specially trained officers, is expected to intervene rapidly and effectively in containing security breaches. The move is part of the police’s comprehensive approach to tackling the rising criminal activities in and around the FCT.
