Nigerians are funny. In this country, any office is as powerful as the president wants the holder of that office to be.

Tunde Sabiu was just a personal assistant to Buhari, but he was more powerful than the Vice President, Senate President, NSA, and service chiefs combined.

Just as Obasanjo's Senior Special Assistant on Domestic Matters (Andy Uba) was the most powerful in his government.

Considering how much Ribadu seems to have ingratiated and enmeshed himself into this BAT's sinister inner caucus, of course he would likely be more powerful than all the service chiefs combined. Not necessarily because he is the NSA, but because HE is the NSA.

Remember the massive difference between Abba Kyari as Chief of Staff and the Kwara diplomat Gambari as Chief of Staff. It's never about the office, but always about the person occupying the office.

Exactly!!

Nothing new. Same of same. The news will be to scrap anything pilgrims board. Those who want to go for pilgrimage should do that on a personal basis. That will be news. Not setting the part for continued looting and we are clapping

[quote author=Benwallt post=123852166]He has made us to forger Buhari and emefiele woes in such a short time. Kudos[/quot

How? Buy buying fuel at N500?

Over hailing of this man will be his greatest undoing. He will be tempted to take uncalculated decisions to sustain the hailing. People should just call down.

The National Economic Council has statutory members, so the President is not appointing anybody. It is a council of the governor's and the Vice President as Chairman.

It's the usual format of looking for a scapegoat and chasing shadows to sell the narrative of seriously fighting for the people. The same way Dasuki was arrested and we were all happy only to find out it was just a witchhunt at the end and nothing was found on him. Isn't it ironic that of all the corruption claims of forex racketeering and the whole confusion of the naira swap policy, the DSS are charging him with a wire transfer to Afghanistan
1. Where's Hadi Sirika who commissioned a chartered and packaged airline, that's afta launching a logo for Billions and purchasing fire fighting trucks for over a billion naira each?
2. Where's the June allocation for subsidy? The previous govt budgeted subsidy for the first half of the year to the tune of about 7.8 billion in dollars (let's not even start about how they arrived at that figure despite NNPC and customs embarassing themselves over the actual figure of consumption)
3. How come petrol price was fixed at over 488 per litre when as early as March Melee Kyari on television in front of marketers said the govt pays N209 as subsidy on each litre of petrol to marketers as subsidy for the product. (Do the maths 195 + 209 will give you the cost of petrol after subsidy is removed). Are Nigerians being "codedly" taxed by the new government for petrol?

These are the questions sane Nigerians should be asking but as usual, they will sell the usual narrative of working and sycophants and sentimental Nigerians (who only reason along tribal and religious lines will ignore all these)

Just to add. We admit that fuel subsidy has been a racket all along with a group of people fleecing the country and diverting subsidized fuel to neighbouring countries. Who was responsible for managing fuel subsidy? Why has he not been arrested already? Emefiele is simply a scapegoat having come from a minority region. If we are not ready to overhaul the country, then we shouldn't even use others as guinea pigs.

Why was Emefiele not granted interview to also defend himself. Is this guy not supposed to be talking to EFCC instead of granting interview?

sotall:


This looks like someone is already stealing Atiku's ideas about selling NNPC.

Let him go ahead but give credit to Atiku who emphasized it.

They said Atiku will sell Nigeria because he canvassed that same idea. Now BAT is the most intelligent thing to happen in Nigeria for copying the idea. The hypocrisy will so be laid bare just like Buharis time

Dsalvo:
IPOB loser, we are used to your scamming ways and talk.

Yes Tinubu should fight and victimize the North so his government is bogged down unproductively by avoidable bickering that will leave yoi IPOB louts ecstatic.

The truth and reality you losers dont want to face is that the North is important and influential in Nigerian politics while the SE is not.

Tinubu is not afraid of the North but iis the smartest politician in Nigeria and therefore understands the concept of leaders 'picking their fight' so they are not bogged down failingly.

He cannot casually make Northerners enemies ,needlessly and avoidably, to then hope to succeed.

The smartest politician is one who avoids the truth in order to get what he wants. Smartest politician indeed!

harqinhola:
Honestly, let’s give these guys some credit . It’s just few days in office and we’ve seen so much change ! For some of you that has failed to look beyond your hypocritical mindset of wanting Peter Obi to win. Therefore you have turned blind eyes to some of the good things this administration is doing , Claiming our mandate , they stole or mandate. May you remain that way ❗️

What are the changes if I may ask? Increase in price of fuel by 300%.

seunmsg:
We are not doomed in this country. It is folks like you who support evil and are against the progress of the country simply for ethno-religious sentiments that are doomed.

Nigeria will make progress whether you haters of the president like it or not. Financiers of terrorism and rogues like Emefiele will be served justice for their crimes against the country. President Bola Tinubu shall succeed no matter the cry from tribal haters like you.

No be by mouth Oga. There are a lot of northerners sponsoring terrorism in broad daylight. Let us see how Tinubu will arrest them. DSS just showed they are chasing shadows. Tell them to provide evidence now, case will enter voicemail.

IS HE FROM SOUTH EAST?

Delta State is part of Ohaneze. The Igbo speaking parts.

Dododawa01:
You were happy that some people lost their life just cos of this policy and who tell you politician didn't spend money for electrorate

People are suffering today because of subsidy removal. Don't lose sight of that.

I have seen that the SW are really afraid of the North. It has become a slave master relationship. When the North attacks them , either directly or indirectly, the next thing, they will turn to Igbos. Very insecure set of people.

I have seen that the Yorubas are really afraid of the North. It has become a slave master relationship. When the North attacks them , either directly or indirectly, the next thing, they will turn to Igbos. Very insecure set of people.

✅☑️✅✔️⭕️⭕️✔️☑️✅

Though a selfish position, I totally
agree with the position of the north.

The SE contributed nothing to the victory
of APC, so they are in no position to be
making any demands. They should wait for
Obi to win at the tribunal to get their
appointments. You can't be working in
NEPA and expect to collect salary in
Ministry of Agric.

On the other hand, the south slept
over their rights when they allowed Buhari
to appoint Northern Muslims as leaders
in Senate, Judiciary, INEC, Army, Air force,
Immigration, Customs, Finance, Petroleum,
Maritime, Ports, Defence, Security Adviser,
FCT Aviation and what have you.

Now, they put Tinubu their and are determined to get their pound of flesh and
have no time to be diplomatic to any
other region.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Igbos are not contesting for Senate President. APC zoned it to SS and not has come out to oppose it. It will do well for you to address the situation and leave the Igbos.

How I wish Ronaldo went to man city, he would have just been scoring like a mad man. That manu with solkjear is too weak for him.

Ronaldo follow spoin Man U but people don't know. He is too after individual fame and it discourages players from collaborating with him. Give him a superb pass and he taps in, the way he will celebrate, he will attract all the attention to himself. Next time you may not pass to him. In Man U now, he is regarded as the only player, no one reckons with Bruno or any other good player, so all of them will kukuma sidon dey look Ronaldo to do the magic and take the glory. Not a team player at all. They never even start!

For me, what the governor said is not really an attack on anyone. Size does not have to do with anything, rather he is using that to justify insecurity in this place which should have been the focus of this discussion. Ethnic prejudice is so rife in Nigeria and in most cases, we leave the substance of an argument and start discussing non-issues. And from the way people in Nairaland writes, I presume most are highly educated which raises more concern.

How come all our arguments have now been reduced to ethnic jabs and gauging who insults the others most. A governor just said some parts of his state are ungovernable and this did not strike a cord on us. So, to Kaduna State government, it is okay for those in that part of the state to die as long as it does not affect some parts considered as 'important'. Yet, this is the case in most states and the country at large. The government is not concerned with the security of lives of some areas or some class of people they consider inconsequential and all of us in this Nairaland falls in this category. How many of us are not living at the mercy of God in terms security and our leaders feel that as long as it does not affect the people that matter, they are fine. They are also telling countries like UK, Canada etc. that our problem stems from our population and because we are five times their size, it is okay for us to remain where we are. But we are interested in who is Igbo and who is Yoruba. Even when he said he used to joke with the SE governors (birds of the same feather), we choose to kill ourselves on top of their jokes and leave the substance. SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JosephXavier:
I don't understand why this man will continue to lavish the small money he made from his position as Deputy governor of CBN on his dreams of presidential post he knows he won't win

Had it been it is in a developed country, he would have been a force to reckon with but Nigeria is a country that kills dreams

I suggest he use the money to invest and create job opportunities for the teaming youths and invest in information technology too

Even in advanced countries, you can't win with an unknown party. It is a game of numbers and parties give you the spread.

kelvinrhs:
You don't have sense sir


Something that keeps you happy...


I'm not against protesting but if you want to protest, protest against something that has head


The man has a point, Naira keeps falling everyday

We have oil and gas reserve yet price of oil and gas is high


Electricity and Tv companies are planning on increasing their tariffs because of high taxation.

Election in Nigeria ia fixed, they already know Tinubu will be president come 2023 and they already know who will be president 4 years after...

Lack of accountability of fund's and mismanagement of resources in almost all sector of the economy.

The government keeps piling up debt as if they are not generating any form of revenue internally

Lest I forget terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping and high crime rate in the country


Of course you can't know these things because you are investing your time in watching a show that does not have meaning


Get out Abeg!

Why don't you go and protest against these things with the hypocritical SA? Do you need those protesting against bbn before you can organize your own protest? If Delta youth protest against his Okowa, this big head will change mouth or does he think his principal is not part of the problem?

a man who has taken the vaccine in my office got infected. I seems not to understand the essence of the vaccine

Vaccination does not prevent infection. It helps to fight the disease when infected. And prevent the person from developing severe symptoms.

So buy now, pay later is a copyright innovation? Akamu case, that is what that one is oo.

chatinent:
How do these people surrender self? Do they call the senior ogas that they want to surrender..then the senior ogas call the press or what?

Cos I am certain they dare not surrender to the angry recruited soldiers who are already pained of their lost regulars.

Very good question. What is the process of surrendering? Maybe start waving white flag or what? These are people who should be held at high risk and shot at sight.

Why arrest him. There is a subsisting order from the President on what to do with people bearing illegal arms especially AK 47.

Social media is just bringing all these to limelight and making it easier. Else, it has been there from time immemorial. I attended village school in the 90s and relationships were also like if you are not doing, you don't belong, from JS 1 to SS 3. I believe that even now, children with proper orientation could still approach it with sense

As long as it is not in the South East, this is not news

Oyiboman69:
its OK if you have no answer to that cos there's no way their millions of customers will put their money with in the hands of fintech...I guess fintech will still have something to do with the banks....

Of course, no Fintechs without Banks.

By Sunday Akanni

Some days back, after a prayer meeting with some brethren, some of us (all young believers) decided to share some tracts and share the gospel of Christ with those around the vicinity. While at the business, I saw a beer palor by the roadside and felt the prompting to enter there to preach. So I entered.

Inside the place, I saw people having 'fun', with loud music. I saw a young man sitting on a chair, taking beer. So I approached him and extended a tract to him. When he realized what I was there to do, he chose not to collect the tract, and decided to ignore me. But then, I started speaking the words God put in my mouth, and I did this in less than two or three minutes.

Strangely, before I finished talking, the guy's countenance changed, and he just started smiling broadly. Then he said something like "I love what I heard", before collecting the tract from me.

And so, it became much obvious to me that more people out there must hear the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and that there's an inherent power in the gospel to deliver the dirtiest unbelievers and sinners from sin, satan and hell. More people will come to the Light of Christ if we can place greater priority on the affair of soul winning.

Fellow believers, the message of the Kingdom of God is Good News that shouldn't be kept to ourselves. When we partner with the Holy Spirit to make unbelievers out there realise that GOD loves them so dearly and that He is all they need, more souls will be drawn into the Kingdom. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" - Jesus Christ (Mark 16:15)

Don't try to win the lost with your own human wisdom, but partner with the Holy Ghost, Who will put the right words in your mouth. The words will hit the sinner vehemently, and a seed will be planted in them. When the veil the devil has placed upon their mind become eventually shattered (by the power in the Word of God), they will realise their dirtiness and the extent of the decay of their soul, and the reaction will likely be to break down in tears. Some others will suddenly realise how much LOVE God had for them, and instantly start beaming with Heavenly joy. The result? A celebration will ensure in Heaven! (Luke 15:10)

Let the world know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6), and that the only way humans can find true fulfilment and joy is by maintaining an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is a relationship with God that empowers us to have dominion over the earth in accordance with God's Will. This is the destiny of every human. Have a close relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you want to surrender your life to JESUS, simply do so now. Ask for His mercy, and sincerely tell Him, "LORD JESUS, come into my life". Your life will never remain the same. A true relationship with Jesus will give you victory over death, sin, satan and hell. GOD bless you.

So anyone inside the bar and drinking beer is a 'dirtiest unbeliever'. Well, what do I know. You are a saint already because you are sharing tract.

alizma:
Nice one. Ambode had refused to be victim of expectations, it is now time to enjoy that commitment, maturity and loyalty.
Just like yourself by and many others out there, I wasn't happy with their decision to take away your position as a governor from you but your action thereafter shows that you didn't forget how you got the the governorship position in the first place

Supporting godfatherism and blind loyalty. In Nigeria, it has become a virtue to keep quiet in the face of injustice and corruption

The Vice President didn't assist anything. He was just an on-looker, same role he is playing in Aso Rock

The menace of Fulani herdsmen in the South West is like a husband battering his wife and the wife is trying not to shout in order to save her marriage which was celebrated with fanfare a few years ago. Worse still, in the course of marrying her husband, she lost her friends and family relations who warned her that the man is not the right kind of man for her. She now has to accept battery, rape and torture in the hands of the man even as the man keep promising her of giving her his business empire when he is no more.
