I don't see how ADC will topple Tinubu in the 2027 elections..

This opposition will simply compel him to double down more in terms of service delivery, and getting more governors under him.

CreativeOrbit:
With all due respect, your reasoning is deeply flawed and reflects a selective standard of credibility. Let me clarify why:

1. The number of accusers is not the sole determinant of truth.
The absence of multiple public accusations does not mean an allegation is false — it often means victims fear retaliation, stigma, or lack of protection. Many survivors stay silent precisely because they see how those who speak up are ridiculed or ignored.

2. Credibility rests on evidence, not crowd size.
Natasha has provided her testimony and supporting details, which deserve to be examined on their own merit. Dismissing her claim simply because “hardly any other woman came out” undermines the seriousness of individual experiences.

3. Power dynamics discourage others from coming forward.
In cases involving influential figures like Akpabio, it is common for victims to stay silent out of fear of social, political, or professional repercussions. The fact that Natasha spoke up despite these risks strengthens, not weakens, her credibility.

4. Consistency is key.
If we genuinely care about justice, we should apply the same standard across all allegations: assess the facts, listen to the evidence, and avoid prejudging based on numbers alone. Selective belief damages the integrity of fair investigation.

In summary, dismissing Natasha’s allegation solely on the grounds that she is the only woman who came forward is unfair and unjust. Every allegation must be judged on its individual merit, with due process and respect for the courage it takes to speak up against powerful interests.

I'll be honest with you, my answer was directed at the person I was responding to, it was tailored to him

He treated PDiddy's trial as simply a sexist witch hunt, as a bunch of women who just want to bring down a successful man.

It's so narrow minded.

Emeskhalifa:
Good for him.

Omor the way that gender be looking for how to drag man to the mud eh.

If you're a man have self control, few minutes enjoyment (I no even see enjoyment wey dey there aside stress and drain wey e dey drain man) can lead you into serious trouble

What are you saying? He was also accused by men for sexual assault!

His case is huge. If one or two persons accuse you, one might still say witch hunt. But when lots of women make the same same charges, then it becomes worrying. Na only you dey?

Look at Akpabio and Natasha. I believe Akpabio because hardly any other woman came out to make similar accusations.

Kevin Spacey has been accused by many men of sexual abuse. This destroyed his career and life. I believe them.

Look at Tyler Perry. A man recently accused him of sexual abuse. Many are taking it with a pinch of salt.

It isn't just with females. It's also with men.

It's very hard to believe whatever Trump says.

He's always praising himself.

Not enough characters.

SalamRushdie:
This is totally alarmist and sensational lies ...The US is saying you can be denaturalised if you are found guilty of certain crimes like terrorism, antisemitism, extrajudicial Killings , human sacrifice and many other gory crimes ..If you don't have you hands in such dirty things then you have nothing to fear

You probably are pro-Trump and, hence, see nothing wrong about it.

There has already been the illegal reparations of many legal residents back to their home countries. This is simply a cover to now deport more people, no matter the means.

The deportations are already badly affecting the US economy. Farms and the construction industry are feeling the pinch the hardest and this has led to rising food prices, as crops are left unpicked. A lot of construction work have been halted. This is badly affecting the economy. If the GDP drops again this quarter, the US will officially be in a recession.

I susoect it is targetted specifically at Elon Musk.

It should be termed the Elon Musk Deportation order or whatever.

Honestly speaking, the only thing worse than strupidity, is doubling down on it. Trump, sadly, is a master of that craft

Brendaniel:
That's about 4.6 billion naira in 2025, thanks to all the destroyers of the naira who came in as presidents especially Tinubu and Buhari, also OUK should stop acting as if that money was too small compared to what is being collected now, though he has some truth in it.

The exchange rate wasn't 22.5 in 1999.

From 1995-1988, the exchange was $1- N80. This was the real market rate. There was another for $1 to N22 but that was only accessible to the well connected.

By 1999., they had completely discountinued the $1-N22.

It was in the early 90s, between 1991 to 1993, it was around that rate.

I remember clearly in August 1993, the day Babangida stepped down, I was at CMS, opposite First Bank headquarters, I enquired from a moiney changer for the exchange rate and he said 37.50. The official rate was probably 22.

What is sex escapades to a Nigerian man? What is fidelity to them in marraige?

Na grammar she dey talk

I'm laughing in Pakistani.

All Atiku is doing is repeating the mistake in as the last election: a divided opposition that gave Tinubu the victory.

Only a strong endorsement from the Obi would make it a true challenge to Tinubu, an endorsemen4 he will never receive.

Let's be honest, there are only 2 phone brands for people who want to Polish their image:iPhone and Samsung

I have used all Chinese models. Huawei and Redmi , though great, do not carry thr kind of image Samsung and iPhone give.

Funny thing is that you can buy a Samsung with RAM of 128mb for around 130k.

They are correct. There is no point living in denial any more.

The elephant in the room is where will the government find enough resources to fight the bandits and the murderous cattle herders?

The war against Boko Haram is a massive drain on resources.

The private sector is needed will be needed to provide the necessary7 cash. I am certain they'll be more than glad to assist.

In addition, it may be time private security are allowed to carry arms. This can be a game changer.

This was truly a star studded event.

I doubt it would match indian billionares children's wedding.

Just a waste of money.

What matters is the marriage. I hope there was a pre-nup.

That was an overreaction by the student.

I partly blame his parents.

Treating ambitions in life as do and die and demanding it from your children can lead to this. I am certain he wasn't the first student suspended for such, and he certainly won't be the last.

I know of 2 final second class upper students who assisted an unserious student cheat and they were both expelled. This was in their final year semester. There was no leniency.

They didn't commit suicide. One today is struggling financially, someone who would have travelled overseas on a scholarship.

The other is just doing okay. He is far from reaching his potential.

All the guy here had to do after being suspoended was to stufy cybersecurity or an indemand course, to bide time until the suspendion was lifted. He could have used the "opportunity" to make money.

Thank God she is recovering her sight!.

Blindness is something I won't wish on my worst enemy.

SeeWahala:
Assuming this doctor was an igbo living and working in Yoruba land they will never honor him like this no matter the feat he broke or achieved They will call it RoNu that if the person is not an indigene then let them 'hush' his achievements 😏

We all saw what happened to a small boy who wrote jamb and their local government chairman decided to honor . . . Hehehe 😂🤣 the story of our yolo brothers always writes itself

This is just jealousy masked as tribalism.

Stop being petty!

Kanu jumped bail in Nigeria.

The story ends there.

Btruth:
Who was that Air-Com. that donated N3k? Boy, I for make history now if I manage to donate 20k then 🤔

In 1991, i attended a Enugu state association get together meeting. I was invited by my bestie who was from that state.

I remember donating N20 and asking them to manage it, that was I could afford. I didn't realize it was big money until they started treating me like a king. My friend said I tried.

Then N1 could buy you a stick of suya. A rap of eba or fufu was 50K. 50K then could buy you 40 wraps of fufu which is N4,000 today.

The exchange of the Naira fell to around $1-N4 when Babangida floated the Naira.It was arounf $1-N1 previously.

Let's just assume the exchange was at worst $1-N5, that would mean he donated at least $2m. That's approximately 3.2bn at the current exchange..

That was mindblowing.

Another metric I can use it is the price of coke which was 50k at this time. That would mean 10m then could buy 20m bottles of coke. A bottle of coke is around 300 today. I am refering to breakable bottles of coke, the type you return.

20m bottles of coke today would cost 6bn. Much respect!

RealLordZeus:
According to you, anyone that does not accept Jesus Christ as his or her Lord or Saviour, that person will perish..

Are you aware that nearly all your APPLE OF GOD'S EYE does not and will not accept Jesus Christ as such..

Simple query, are they going to perish or not?

I don't tire. He no go listen.

How will God accept people that rejected his son? (John 3:18, Matthews 23:37-39.

God expressed his anger in 70 C.E when the Rimans destroyed Jerusalem, and slaughtered most of its inhabitants, and took about 100,000 of them away ad slaves. Luke 21:20-24)

By early 2nd century C.E, the Romans had expelled all Jews from Israel. It was only in the 1940s that they began to return to Israel. They were largely stateless for almost 2,000 years.

Abortion is a sin. Keep the child.

Is there a place for the husband? The Bible says love endures all things. Love is the key.

A gym is also a gay church.

Gay men are always at gyms. They want perfect bodies for their partners.

Liazz

Let her know that the UK isn't Niveria, that both spouses contribute financiamly.

If she re.ains obstinate, report her to your inlaws who live outside Nigeria. Insist they split how each of you will split the bills if need be.

If she refuses to change, simply following the spending formula arranged.

She's being very selfish and entitled.

More southerner's manning that institution but you see it's not an issue for northerners! 🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜 Say make I shake table small 🤣🤣🤣😜

What does tribalism have to do with anything?

Corruption is corruption.

mysticwarrior:
So sad, crime forensic investigation should be carried out, extract possible finger prints from her body, from the finger prints they would get their NIN, from their NIN they would get their phone numbers, track those phone numbers and get the killers arrested.

You're quite smart. Probably only Panti and Alagbon have fingerprinting machines in the country

This is very good. It would fuel Chinese investment into Nigeria.

Buhari destroyed the economy with his useless policies and was fully aided by the CBN governor, Emefiele.

Had Emefiele stood up to him and acted professionally, Buhari would have been powerless. Emefiele preferred to join in the sleaze the multiple exchange rates encouraged.

The forex controls and the use of Ways and Means to finance excessive spending would have been cultailed.

kolexy:
Emefiele and Paul Ogwuma are competing for the worst

Paul Ogwuma is small fry compared to Ahmad or Emefiele. I was in secondary school when Babangida came to power.

Ogwuma grew the foreign reserves from $500m to $8bn. Emefiele reduced it from $30bn to $3bn. His crimes were so huge, he chose to contest for the presidency to hide his tracks. When that failed, he brown in the Naira designed to frustrate presidential candidates.

Bankers and the well connected during Buhari's government made billions by buying forex at the official rate and selling at the black market rate.

1 Abdulkadir Ahmed — 11 years, 97 days

2 Godwin Emefiele — 9 years, 8 days

These were also the worst 2 ever.

When IBB left office, there was only $500m in the foreign reserves. By the time Abacha died, he had increased it to $8bn. This is despite the kind of sleaze associated with Abacha.

The girl is a dullard. The guy dodged a bullet.

He should go on with his life.

But why spend so much on such a girl. He too has issues.

mrvitalis:
Naira dropped 100% under PDP yet economy grow by 1000%

They no dey teach una economics for Yoruba land?

You a quoting soludo who is backing Tinubu politically? Same soludo said same under Buhari

Soludo never praised Buhari's manhandling of the economy. He was one of th earliest in condemning Buhari's economic policies which he termed statist. He along with Lamido condemned Buharis policies. This was within Buhari's first 30 days in office.

The economy never grew 1,000% under PDP. The country's GDP doubled in size between 1999 to 2013. Nevertheless, it was respectable.

I won't argue with you any further as your statements bother on economic illiteracy, and a strong refusal to educate yourself.

You may not like Tinubu but the economy is improving.

Net foreign reserves have grown from $3bn in the CBN in 2023 to $30bn today. The government is now spending 68% of revenue on debt servicing unlike the 97% Tinubu met when he assumed. Nigeria's credit rating has been upgraded by Moody. Even Soludo approved the reforms. Cardoso even won central bank governor of the year in Africa.

Those are the indicators that informed investors look. They are undeniable.

EnkayDezign:
Don’t mind the sheer ignorance of the poster that said that nonsense. Burkina Faso doesn’t measure up to Nigeria on several metrics whether economy,
Infrastructure, Gdp per capita (which is actually a wack way of indicating wealth distribution) and so on.

A Jordanian who travelled to Ivory Coast was stunned by how advamced it was. It was way ahead of Amman, the capital of Jordan. Yet, it's per capita income is about $2,900 while Jordan is about $4,700. It makes absolutely no sense.

You're correct about per capita income. If it really was a good metric, there's no way possible that Missisippi has a higher standard of living that Germany.
