And then he landed at Chicago State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with honours.

With this information, he should be disqualified really because the law states the minimum requirement is primary school. If he didn't go to primary and secondary school, how did he get to university...

But as always, he is always rigged in. Neway, nobody should waste Toomey goin to court. Rather, everybody should just focus on the election votes.

A sign of a sky rocketing poverty is when you start seeing topics like this

Tinubu has turned Nigerians to beggars and paupers

Reforms are making seyi tinubu and chagory billionaires while millions of Nigerians go to bed hungry after eating once a day

God forbid
Make he win next year una go cry wetin no good

Thank you o. A thread that is recommending cheap healthy food alternatives is a sign of a failed government. Na poor people worry about what to eat. Rich folks ain't bothered.

Kenya's President William Ruto announces free university education for Kenyan students starting in September.

Nigeria President still dey borrow borrow... 😂🤣

Why is a borrower celebrating his approved loans?

The people approving your loan requests went to school for free but they want you to access school at an exorbitant rate backed by NELFUND

Indeed there was a country!

May the looters & destroyers of this nation be ruined.

Poverty na their mate? I really feel sorry for Nigerians

Me I didn't know City boy organized event to bring chaos or cause it that they had to invite commissioner of police. Let's event assume yea, that he was there to ensure peace and order, he must be a mumu man. Officers don finish for barracks that he was the one to go enforce peace and orderliness for an event of a political party.

2027, Nigerians had better wake up if they believe this government hasn't compromised every institution in this country. Everything, everyone, every institution has been divided along party lines,. The only people to defend their selves are the people.So if Nigerians like, they should not go and vote and protect their votes to bring some level of sanity back to the country. You all go hear am.

Hope the students know that those loans will hang on their necks forever till it is paid, it is not free oooooo.

Nigerians love fee things, those that took covid 19 money, the money was removed from their accounts when the time to pay came and they did not pay. Those that had no money, the money was taken from the accounts of those that guaranteed them .with the new tax laws signed into law, be careful who you guarantee ooooooooo

Which pay back are we talking about sef. Is it not Nigerians again. Nigeria is always fond of treating symptoms and not root cause.

First, let them finish first, then get the job, before finally deciding whether they will pay the loan or not. Afterall, Tinubu is not president forever. He has just till 2027...

You obviouly don't know about Garbage In, garbage Out (GIGO) since computers only collate information that is entered into them.

Meanwhile, you have failed to say how many teachers Obi employed and how many schools, classrooms, libraries, labs, playgrounds he built to improve ratio of public to private schools and the enrolment in public schools during his eight years.

Are you able and willing to do that

Hear yourselves. Just to promote lies and defame lies, you now going into computer classes. Okay, APC chief technologist o, teach us about GIGO.

What is the wisdom of saving money when you can spend it to generate better returns in the future?

Why did Obi fail to employ teachers and build schools for every child’s free education?

Why did he fail to employ workers to make water flow into Anambra homes?

First, we tired of "he did nothing in Anambra" rhetorics you guys always pushing because everybody knows that is not true.
We all know what Anambra was before Obi and after Obi and we all know he did amazingly well. The state is still benefitting from that till date.

Secondly, that he did all that and is able to still save is highly remarkable. Even the Bible acknowledges and rewards a man that leaves inheritance for his family or children and as a governor then, he was father to all. Not only did he do well, he also left inheritance. That inheritance is what Obiano leveraged on and enjoyed, unfortunately Obiano could not continue with the legacy. Obi invested in critical sectors of the State. Education, Health, Security and Economy. Today, Obi is walking with peace of mind round Nigeria. Where is Obiano? He ran away to avoid persecution from government. Take it to the bank, if Anambra or the Nigerian constitution allowed people to contest governorship beyond two terms, Obi will always win.

To those you prefer, spending and squandering, all they give you is road and bridges, yet they loot you dry and thats for those that want to pretend they offering something. The rest just milk the state dry and nothing to show for it. Since this reckless government came to power, they have been spending and spending but how has it benefited the average Nigerians

How does leaving money lying fallow in the state treasury when the state is in tatters count as an achievement? The biggest economy in the world today is the most indebted, but this salt and pepper economist sure knows nothing about that.

Ask him what macroeconomy means and hear the shit load of trash you'd be presented with. This is the most mentally vacuous being I've ever seen, the rarest of the species.

Leaving money in state treasury is a sin jare. I agree with you. Any money that goes to states should be spent. Afterall, more will still come, it is never ending.

Who saving help...

The Permanent Secretary is responsible for the ministry's financial management and for ensuring that public funds are spent lawfully and in accordance with the budget and financial regulations. She knows what she's signing for, just creating an extra bottleneck as is common with our civil service. You don't personally decide to withhold essential payment files for agencies because you want detailed presentations regarding their ongoing projects and financial utilisation.
When they complain that budget is not implemented, you'd still blame Tinubu, not civil servants that woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to sit on approval.
Agency heads and industry experts have noted that this demand is inconsistent with established civil service practices.

See how we keep celebrating nonsense, pardon my language. Does it not tell you that that civil service practices is rubbish and the reason why Nigeria is a failed state. A country without prudence and accountability.

So it is civil service practice to just sign what's before you just because tinubu has approved it. Thats how they created fake agency just because Tinubu approved it. Whether she wanted bribery or not, if MDA and Parastatal heads can't explain their financial need, as a zombie and employed only to come and sign, I just sign....

Make it make sense to ne. What is even more upsetting is that you all think it is wrong.

Image123:
Did you read the report at all? One person withheld funds meant for ESSENTIAL payment intended to support the operations of several key agencies, contrary to established civil service procedures
It's not everything you oppose abeg, try to reason. Isn't that the exact way corruption comes in? Settle me and your payment is released, or you live in heaven?

I read it and the report also said they did not explain or present their request in the presentation the submitted.
Didn't they tell Tinubu before he approved it too...

Image123:
It's unethical, she should leave that for those appointed to. It's like anyone coming to stop your vehicle or arrest you based on suspicion. Everyone has clear job descriptions. If she feels something uncanny, there are other steps to take. You shouldn't allow anyhowness, let's learn to build sustainable and logical systems, not supervisors acting on their whims and gut feelings.

So ethically, she is just to sign. What she signs for, is unethical.

I see, yet they claim that the PRESIDENTIAL FOREIGN INTERVENTION INVESTMENT COUNCIL is fake. How can it be fake when someone can sign anything without knowing what they signed for

Image123:
It's not her job to withhold the funds personally, it's unethical.

Tell me if the the cash is with her or the money was in her custody. So if your approval was needed for funds and those requiring your approvals can't explain their reason for the fund, you still approve anyway. That's why the country is where it is today. Why government can't account for trillions of naira. Why citizens don't know what money is spent on...

[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=140139650]“Garri is a family” — Primary 3 pupil's debate performance gets Nigerians talking

A Nigerian Primary 3 pupil has become an internet sensation after delivering a humorous classroom debate in support of the motion that garri is better than rice.

The young girl, identified as Salami Aminat, confidently defended her position with witty comparisons and humorous examples, leaving many viewers entertained after a video of her presentation surfaced online.

Speaking before her classmates and guests, Aminat argued that garri remains a dependable meal for many Nigerians, especially during difficult times, unlike rice which requires cooking before it can be eaten.

She said, “Before I start, let me ask a simple question. If rice is truly better, why do people shout garri has finish?”

Pupil praises garri as Nigerians’ dependable meal
Throughout her speech, the pupil described garri as the “true friend of every Nigerian,” explaining that it comes to the rescue whenever there is no electricity, gas or money.

She also joked that while rice asks people to wait for it to boil, garri only requires a cup and water to satisfy hunger.

In another memorable moment, she said, “Rice is for party. Garri is for salvation. Rice is occasionally, Garri is dependable.”

The pupil further entertained the audience by creating an acronym for the word “garri” and listing several nicknames for the staple food, including “Students power,” “time supporter,” and “hunger destroyer.”

Viral video sparks reactions online
The light-hearted speech has continued to circulate widely across social media, with many Nigerians praising the pupil’s confidence, creativity and delivery despite her young age.

Many viewers described the presentation as one of the funniest classroom debates they had watched, while others applauded her ability to keep the audience engaged from beginning to end.

The viral video has also reignited the age-old playful debate over whether garri or rice deserves the title of Nigeria’s most dependable staple food.

EXCLUSIVE: ICPC probes permanent secretary who blocked funds approved by Tinubu for agencies


Multiple sources told PREMIUM TIMES that the permanent secretary’s demand was contrary to established civil service procedures, raising suspicions that there may have been an ulterior motive behind her action.

I dont understand. Agencies refused to explain their budgets and she didn't approve, and this is a bad thing. When senate has refused to do their work she stepped in and Nigeria is offended?

I don't that country anymore. It is official that Nigeria and Nigerians love crime.

Ofunaofu:
To be on Tinubu's side and defend his dilapidated mandate, you have to lie...spreading falsehoods, misinformation, and propaganda.

That's the only thing that seems to make Tinubu feel good.

Just look at the people around him. They all peddle lies, falsehoods, misinformation, and propaganda

They thrive on creating confusion and delusions. That way, they are safe while they go about their nefarious acts

No one will campaign for Obi in the North, take that to the bank. Obi is a bad market anywhere in Nigeria.

Hehehe, let this guy's speech massage your ego well so that when e shock 😲 you, you go get heart attack well well...

I am getting to the point whereby pitying Nigerian is looking like a waste of time and also I am beginning to lose the strength to blame those who jumped from the sinking ship instead of trying to build it and make it stable because the very people you're fighting for or trying to enlighten will be the very ones to back stab you and kpai you self if care isn't taken....they,plus the leaders are the enabler of this backward system and they're willing to ensure it stays that way by any means possible...when you see them complain, it's not because they really wants a sane and thriving country....it is mostly because it isn't "FAVOURING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES" which depict the self centeredness and greed in majority of them....now how will the country develop with people like this?.

These sets of leaders that y'all think are dvmb are way smarter than most of you....they've seen the scam in all these made up imported religions and they've decided to use it to their advantage as well since the citizens have refused to have sense....keep up with the backward mentality and stay at the level of being everyone's biitch....from the Arabs to the Europeans and now the Chinese and Indians and others are joining the fray to sample the loosed, senseless and confused biitch.

I know how you feel.
Frankly speaking, it is a waste of time but we can't afford to give up on the land. We have to hope against hope.

ADELEKE SHOULD NOT DESTROY ACCORD PARTY LIKE PDP, REJECTING GBENGA HASHIM MAY COST HIS RE-ELECTION

The Gbenga Hashim Solidarity Movement (GHSM) has reacted to what it described as false and misleading remarks made by the Osun State Chairman of the Accord Party, Pastor Victor Akande, during a radio programme, warning Governor Ademola Adeleke against actions capable of costing him his re-election.

In a statement issued by the South-West Coordinator of GHSM, Alhaji Abass Olaniyi, the movement said the comments credited to the Osun Accord Chairman regarding Governor Adeleke’s endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Accord’s presidential candidate, Dr. Gbenga Hashim, were based on fabricated documents, deliberate misrepresentation of facts and a distortion of political timelines.

Abass stated that while Governor Adeleke’s endorsement of President Tinubu was a carry-over from the PDP into Accord Party, the National leadership of Accord Party had already demonstrated its Presidential direction by actively lobbying Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim to join the party and contest the 2027 election.

According to GHSM, on 21 July 2025, the Osun PDP leadership caucus endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, a decision widely reported while Governor Adeleke remained a PDP governor. The movement noted that it rejected the endorsement at the time because it was inconsistent with its political position.

The movement also recalled that in March 2026, the National leadership of Accord Party, led by its National Chairman, Barrister Maxwell Mgbudem, visited Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim and engaged him on joining the party to contest the presidential election.

The delegation, which included the party’s National Secretary, Hon. Adebukola Abiola Ajaja; National Treasurer, Salaudeen Abdulazeez Oyeniyi; and Organising Secretary, Hon. Ibe ThankGod, met with Dr. Olawepo-Hashim in Abuja as part of efforts to build a broad National political platform ahead of 2027.

GHSM stated that following the engagement, Dr. Olawepo-Hashim followed due process to participate in the party’s Presidential process and emerged as the Presidential Candidate of the party.

Abass said the engagement clearly contradicts claims that Accord Party had no Presidential direction, stressing that the party’s National leadership in April 2026 publicly disowned Governor Adeleke’s purported endorsement of President Tinubu and reaffirmed Accord’s National Presidential agenda.

"So, the facts are clear. Governor Adeleke endorsed President Tinubu before joining Accord Party. Also, Accord Party’s National leadership lobbied Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim to provide Presidential leadership for the party, and he emerged as the Presidential candidate of the party through open direct primaries.

"Therefore, the argument that Adeleke's endorsement of Tinubu was caused by the absence of a Presidential candidate in Accord does not align with the timeline of events," GHSM stated.

The South-West Coordinator warned that Governor Adeleke’s political approach within Accord Party raises concerns similar to the internal contradictions that weakened the PDP.

Alhaji Abass said political parties are strengthened when members respect institutions, structures and collective decisions rather than allowing individual interests to determine the direction of the party.

"Accord Party must not travel the same path that weakened PDP. A political party cannot survive when individual calculations are placed above the collective aspirations of its members," he stated.

GHSM further stated that 24 State Chairmen of Accord Party across the federation have endorsed Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, while noting that the legal dispute surrounding the party’s Presidential Primary is currently before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The movement stressed that it would not make public comments on a matter already before the court.

"The issue of Accord Party’s presidential primary is reserved for judgment at the Federal High Court in Abuja. As responsible stakeholders, we will not engage in public commentary on a matter that is before the court. We have confidence in the judicial process and await the decision of the court," GHSM stated.

GHSM cautioned that Governor Adeleke’s political future in Osun State depends on the unity and strength of the platform under which he seeks re-election.

The movement insisted that failure to recognise and work with key stakeholders supporting Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim could deepen divisions within Accord Party and affect its electoral prospects.

The movement reaffirmed its commitment to the presidential project of Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, describing it as a movement focused on political renewal, competence, institutional reform and National transformation.

Did Jonathan not try as a strong supporter of "One Nigeria" to unite and please everyone including the north? How did his government end....? You need to accept the fact that there is no unity that will allow a true nationalist to succeed as president.... All regions excluding the south east are pretending to accept each other, as if they want the same thing in the open but in secret, they don't share the same values, they want something else that only serves their selfish interests especially those in the north.... If Peter Obi and his party are not vying for power to address this fundamental issue then it is better he doesn't even run in the next election to become president of Nigeria.

You are right and as a sick country looking for healing, we cannot give up. I understand you very well and that's the reason why we need a change in leadership. Let's be clear about this, Nigeria need to keep trying till we get it right. Else, how do we get it when we stuck on one who has clearly clearly ineffective and seeking power only for personal gains just to seen as God on earth.
Let us go back to Jonathan again, he might not have been perfect but till moro, that he was exemplary by not holding on to power, generations will speak of him. That is a sign of a good leader. Compare that to those there now, they are not even contemplating of letting go despite the incompetence and ineptitude. Rather, they have manipulated everything just to further foisted themselves on the people. Nigerians, or should I say most Nigerians don't even know the difference between the truth and false anymore. Everybody thinks by their stomach. Thats not leadership, that is imperialism.
Look, a bad country with a good leader can still have good outcome. Take that to the bank

MIKOLOWISKA:
but where will the leader come from when it will be chosen from the rotten body

But not all the body will be rotten. A fully rotten body is a dead body but Nigeria is not yet a fully rotten body. At least, kidney still dey work, if our heart and liver is faulty.

You're funny to think I don't know what leadership entails. How do you think a good leader can succeed when majority of the people are too sectional to accept such a leader? Unless the leader falls from heaven and doesn't belong to any of the existing tribes or religion then maybe he will succeed. Nigeria won't make any genuine progress as a nation unless the truth about its cosmetic unity is addressed. I guess you are supporting Peter Obi to become president. Except Obi if he becomes president won't need to include core northerners and fulanis within his government, I can assure you that Peter Obi will fail Nigerians if he thinks he can fix Nigeria only through economic reforms without factoring in the underlying problem of Nigeria. He will face strong resistance from the north and south west. Nigeria needs a total economic/political power decentralization or outright dissolution for the majority of it's sectional tribalistic people to enjoy good governance and sustainable development.....

You talk like this cos you think it is impossible and yes, I am proudly obidient. I won't even shy away from that. However what you saying isn't about Obi.
You think it is impossible such that even an Obi cannot make it happen but i have news flash for you, it is possible if we bold enough to try. Leadership is about setting examples, something Nigeria lacks. We just need someone to show us the way. When people see that it is possible, just maybe, Nigeria will set on a new path where subsequent leaders cannot come and lie to them that it is impossible anymore.

helinues:
Oya explain it to us

Noise pollution is defined as regular exposure to elevated or disturbing sound levels that lead to adverse effects in humans or other living organisms. Unlike a sudden loud crash, noise pollution is typically a chronic, ongoing issue in an environment.
​The World Health Organization (WHO) defines noise above 65 decibels (dB) as noise pollution. To put that in perspective, sound becomes explicitly harmful to our health when it regularly exceeds 75 dB and can cause physical pain above 120 dB.

truthera:
I came across the thread titled "Elections Are Rigged Because Nigerians Want It To Be Rigged - Peter Obi" in which Obi said the following and I quote



It is glaring that Peter Obi is being economical with the truth.... Leadership is a problem but it is only a symptom of a bigger problem. Nigeria suffers from bad national leadership not because of lack of democratic processes or participation par say but mainly as a result of a centrist national governing framework that is unsuitable for a highly sectional tribal divisive people that occupy the geographical space you call Nigeria.... No good leader can assume national leadership under this centrist governing structure to rule and effect progressive national reforms without the frustration of pandering to the vicious divisive political forces whether in the form of fulani jihadism, terrorism, tribalism and ethnic profiling, all of which are pushed to ensure a change of government that favors only a section of the country. Any "good" politician in Nigeria (if any still exists) vying for the office of the president must as a matter of urgency, prioritize the full implementation of a new constitutional framework upon assuming power that ensures a total decoupling of current national governing structures from a centralized national system towards totally decentralized one if he or she genuinely wants to help the people of Nigeria....

No good governance can thrive in an atmosphere of systemic injustice, unless the 1999 constitution is totally dissolved and a referendum is conducted that will birth a fresh start, a better union built on trust, justice and equity, nothing will change as bad leaders who offer nothing but corruption, looting and retrogression will continue to dominate Nigeria's national polity through divisive politics. Many Nigerians will continue to be used as willing tools to defend retrogression and bad governance due to their penchant for tribalism and deep religious sentiments, a vicous cycle that only guarantees that the suffering of the masses will continue..... I understand that the main reason behind Peter Obi's stance on political leadership as Nigeria's only problem is because he wants to be president. If by a miracle he wins, he will fail Nigerians if after 4 years his administration, did nothing to address the underlying issues of Nigeria's unity....

You have no idea what leadership is about.

I will use a simple analogy to explain and if you still dont understand it, then too bad but note this, Peter Obi is absolutely spot on.

When a lion leads a herd of sheep, they are better off than a sheep lead a den of lions. There is a reason why it is often said, if the head is right, the body will be too.
As bad as Nigeria is, with a good leader, things can get better.
