. You are not going to pay Dangote in Naira?

SSpeter:
Let me explain to you, those figures you see there are not as real as they appear. Dangote refinery will not solve the country's dollars crises. Nigeria does not import refined petrol with cash what we do is swap and the import you see there is the swap value. It is the same swap we will do with Dangote refinery. Unless Dangote refinery decides not to sell refined petrol to Nigerians and sell abroad then through export proceeds we can have the dollars. Looking at our consumption, and the partial start of the refinery, it is a very long term issue

NO.
The Bayelsa people were tired of Dickson and they were not interested in anyone Dickson was fielding out, know that Dickson will still remain in power and indirectly continue his "evil agenda" on Bayelsa people.

Bayelsans as well do not like Sylva coming in.

Lyon now was the "Saint" with his past "good records of kindness" Bayelsans decided without looking back voted massively for Lyon.

Talking about grassroot politics Sylva is more stronger than Lyon. The grassroot support Lyon experienced are the defection of PDP stakeholders to APC. But Bayelsans don't want Sylva.

Poverty in South East ?

Yes. Because, watch them this xmas season. 70% of transport companies heading east carry 3 passengers per seat inside 2020 model toyota hiace. Unlike the ultra rich S Westerners who travel in 1992 mazda buses loaded 5 on each seat due to love we have for ourselves.
Poverty that side made them buy a plate of akpu N1500 while we spend a wooping N100 naira for one amala and ponmo N200 making N300.

The Labour Party governorship candidate in Imo State, Senator Athan Achonu, on Saturday, said with the conduct of the election in the state, democracy is under attack in the country.

He decried the alleged high level of electoral manipulations that took place in the state.

He, however, said that the masses were resisting the plot to subvert the will of the people.

Achonu said, “In so many places, it is either the INEC staff refused to sign the result or refuse to upload. You saw what happened here. It took the intervention of security operatives who came here before they started uploading the results. The machine they said could not upload suddenly started uploading.

“Maybe if I wasn’t from this area, it wouldn’t have been possible. There are even places in Aboh Mbaise where they did not have result sheets.”


He added, “We are winning massively on the ground. They have done everything humanly possible to thwart that, but we will not allow that. Imolites will not allow that. I hope INEC is hearing me clearly now. They should declare our results the way they are. They can’t change our results.

“The All Progressives Congress government should be ashamed of themselves. They have lost the election, and they are trying to change the result.

“Democracy is under attack, but we are resisting it. That is why you see all these people here so that we can have proper democracy and good governance. Of course, INEC must cancel everywhere this madness occurred and order a rerun. “

Its been one month since the Israeli-Hamas war and many thought that the Arab world would come out with sanctions against Israel.
But on the other hand, we see Egypt cooperating with Israel. We see Jordan being very quiet. The Arab world do not seem supper interested in this.
On the other hand, we are seeing an increased interest from European and American citizens. We are witnessing more protest in the streets of major cities in Europe and America than in Egypt and Jordan.
What do you think is responsible for this change?

He killed them because they are blacks, whit racist coward.

Nigeria cancels Czech premier's visit, citing government's inability to provide adequate reception

Nigerian government's refusal to host Petr Fiala, his business delegation is linked to Prague's pro-Israel stance on ongoing onslaught on Gaza, reports Czech media

Nigeria has canceled the visit of Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and his business delegation at the eleventh hour, citing its government's inability to provide an adequate reception to them.

However, the Czech media reported on Tuesday that the Nigerian government's refusal on Monday, just one day before Fiala and his business delegation visit, is linked to Prague's pro-Israel stance in the UN on the ongoing Israel-Palestine armed conflict.

The Nigerian government has informed them that it is unable to provide a proper reception and program for Fiala and his business delegation.

Based on this, they decided to cancel the visit, Czech government spokesman Vaclav Smolka told journalists in Nairobi, Kenya's capital, where they arrived after visiting Ethiopia, according to Irozhlas news outlet.

The prime minister and his delegation were scheduled to arrive in Nigeria on Tuesday for a two-day official visit.

However, Irozhlas cited diplomatic sources in its report, stating that Nigeria's move may be related to the Czech government's overt pro-Israeli policies, as Israel faces growing global criticism.

It added that the Czech Republic, along with the US and Israel, was one of 14 countries that voted against the UN General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza on Oct. 27.

Israel launched air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 10,328 Palestinians, including 4,237 children and 2,719 women, have been killed. The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is nearly 1,600, according to official figures.

Besides the large number of casualties and massive displacements, basic supplies are running low for Gaza’s 2.3 million residents due to the Israeli siege.

The leadership of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has distanced itself from a communiqué released by the group’s General Secretary, Chief Sola Ebiseni, where the organisation was said to have faulted the Supreme Court judgment upholding President Bola Tinubu’s election.

According to a statement on Thursday by the group’s National Organising Secretary, Otunba Kole Omololu, the group’s leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, and other leaders were not aware of Ebiseni’s press release and did not authorise it.

The statement read, “The world will recall that the Leader of Afenifere himself, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, had congratulated the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces on his election into office, and also expressed solidarity over his victory at the apex court.

“It is then clearly underhanded and mischievous to have such preposterous attack on the judiciary by intemperate elements within the fold, fanning the embers of national discords with political motives, using the name of Afenifere.”

The statement noted that, as the acting leader of the group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, in the natural and traditional order of Afenifere, is expected to defer to his leader, who appointed him, Fasoranti, without reservations.

“To do otherwise is to tread such ignoble path in national discourse as this unfortunate release reveals,” the statement added.


The PUNCH reports that the communique being disowned by the group was issued by Ebiseni and made available to journalists in Akure, Ondo State capital, on Wednesday at the end of a meeting of the group held at Adebanjo’s residence in Ogbo Ijebu, Ogun State.

The communique partly read, “Nigeria is a federation of entrenched ethnic nationalities which has failed to evolve into a nation because of the deviation from the foundational principles of federalism.

“Except Nigeria is ruled based on true federalism which guarantees inclusiveness, fairness, egalitarianism, justice and a sense of belonging to all its constituent groups, it will remain a mere geographical expression with no sense of common nationalism and patriotism.

“In this connection, the only way forward is to change the military constitution now and re-enact a constitution in line with the foundational federal principles.

“Except this is done now and quickly, all the errors that occasioned the type of electoral shenanigans witnessed during the 2023 general elections and the technical judgement by the Supreme Court legitimising the same will fester ad infitum.”
