She is a Nigerian, and it's no problem. That's why we exhort them not to spoil our names abroad or online.
The usual excuse is that it's government corruption that spoils our name. It's not because of government that we're banned and denied visas, or asked to step aside for special search and interrogation. It is because you are scamming, doing drugs, doing cultism, fighting and stealing.
When it's a good thing, you don't want it to be Nigerian, you want it to be Amaka, our rich tribal culture. This is a disease, a plague.

godofuck231:
How can you have crude oil and local refining skills and still have a shortage, Nigerians get your heads out of your assez

We still have one of the cheapest fuel in the continent and world.

PRINCESSFCFANSs:
OK


how does the Israel & Iran war affect Nigeria increase in fuel ??


please Nairalanders explain ..



must Some Nigerians always want to afflict it citizens with any situations ..?



what is happening in this country ?





Princess Faith Chukwuamaka

Crude oil produces fuel. Dangote imports crude oil. Fuel prices increase.

5starMan:
How much is their arrears compared to the money spent on International Conference Center,VP residential quaters.
It is only in Nigeria that a man who always find a way to defend a government irrespective of their numerous irresponsibilities due to petty and parochial reasons accuses another of critiquing everything the same government does even when it's mere gaslighting.

There's what is called budget. Different ministries and organizations are owing money in Nigeria and globally. While government is a continuum, it's not the current government that owes the bulk of the arrears. Still, they approved over 50% of the money to be paid in the meantime. It's crazy, unrealistic and illogical to expect the current government to solve every problem 100% within two years, especially if you really know where we're coming from. If we're talking of government owing current salaries, i understand the anger and even impatience. But being so unreasonable over what started more than 5years and is being solved, with implementation of minimum wage done. Haba.
Like i said, it's still government job and debt, they are wrong to allow the strike and for this long. But to blindly say they are deaf and dumb and mad and bring up every allegation like they are doing nothing is insincere. You are entitled to your opinions still, and so am i.

5starMan:
Yes I agree to some extent.But you never said anything about Wike at the first instance rather you went further to allege that VDM has covert intentions.Yes I said to an extent, because it takes mad approach to call out a maddening government that is also deaf and dumb.

Thanks for the honesty. By saying TWO wrongs in the first instance, i already submitted that both the strike and the protest are wrong. The thread is primarily about the protest.
As for the content creator guy, it's common knowledge that he has numerous personal court cases against him, and is currently on bail. Exploiting kids for content is totally past it for me. He can call the government out a thousand other ways, it's what he does for a living. BTW, the government hasn't been deaf, it's the teachers that seem deaf and inconsiderate of the students if you follow the case. Do you even know why they're on strike? Chances are No, you don't. But government must be wrong, we're all hungry and angry and ready to destroy everything and each other.
Among many demands, the teachers are asking for implementation of minimum wage, it's been approved. The only reason why they're on strike is they want their arrears to be paid before they enter class. Labour is about sensible and reasonable negotiations, not holding everyone to ransom. It's the students that lose at the end because government workers will still get their arrears anyway. It's not a fight for the pupils by any means.

i will talk to Benue the food basket of the nation again, you dey fall hands. i expect vision and results from 'men of God', not excuses and politics. If you are so sure of your excuses, name names, bring out the defaulters and land grabbers. Let's see some evidence of the perpetrators.

patrickcollins:
He is fighting for their future, our leaders never cared about our government own schools because non of their wards ever attend such school

No, he's fighting for his own self. This has nothing to do with the kids future. The kids appeared more sensible than him. He got frustrated at a point that they didn't say their names. Wike implemented the wage the teachers requested, they are asking for arrears to be paid before they resume work. Who's fighting for who?

nedekid:
That is his way of doing things, others ie you and I can do ours the way we choose instead of merely criticising.
Omo, how can a minister justify riding in eg a bullet proof suv of close to 1b while kids are left at home due to teachers strikes? Or saying god save him in a jet that flew his wife to Lagos to pick his daughter then came back to also fly him to Lagos to meet someone? Them de use private jet that cost 1000s of dollars per hour of flight as uber.

Wike intervened, releasing around ₦4.1 billion in April 2025 to support wage implementation. However, teachers remain on strike, demanding full arrears and implementation. Negotiating is the best way to go about this, no other person is losing here except the kids. The teachers should follow the content creator to fight their fight, not kids.

anonimi:
Was that before or after ebilokan told Yorubas to vote for him in Abeokuta while campaigning for APC primaries, because it is the turn of Yoruba la?

Is Atiku old enough to think for himself and act responsibly or he's still being mentored 30 years later?

patrickcollins:
You are comfortable pupils being at home for 9 weeks over meagre 70k minimum wage, Nigeria is a mess, don't support your oppressors

i am not comfortable with kids not going to school, i am also uncomfortable with kids being exploited. Protests can be done reasonably and logically.

5starMan:
You won't correct the first wrong doer.
It is the second wrong doer that you are trying so hard to criticize. Anything that open the yeye incompetence of your god government you immediately become intellectual about it.

It is wrong for schools to be on strike. How exactly do you want me to constructively correct the first wrong doer here again? Nothing to be intellectual about morality and exploitation of kids. What is wrong is wrong. The two are wrong, do you agree?

fabolouz1:
Haven't seen any twist here aside the mention of Peter Obi .

It's totally different from what Mr Lamido Lamidini is saying.

anonimi:
So why did Atiku step down for Abiola as stated by Alake here >>








In what capacity did Obi do this?
Was he a court bailiff

Tosan Harriman is in the best position to answer this as an eye witness. Atiku corroborates his part though. His mentor, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua convinced him, at a critical SDP meeting. To prevent a split vote that could favour Kingibe, to ensure party unity, and boost Abiola’s chances across regions.

https://nationaldailyng.com/why-i-stepped-down-for-mko-abiola-in-1993-atiku/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

He still tells the North to vote for him because he's a northerner, it's plausible he did same at the primaries before the stalemate where his mentor came in.

smtx:
Since those your support are incompetent and VDM sees every opportunity of their failures to grab our attention, ehn leave him na. This attention is what has made become who he is....

Attention has a cost/price. This price is wrong and too high.

Hohaiiiode:
you all of a sudden care about the warfare of the children , very funny mad people! Children can be denied education for months , but there can’t react or cry or demonstrate to get heard! lol!

These children are only been used and abused. Like i said TWO WRONGS, meaning it's wrong for children to be on strike.

12345baba:
are you ok? How many die man wan die? Are u not tired of the nonsense happening in the nation. Appreciate people sacrificing themselves for the country. U coward!

Who are the people sacrificing themselves, these little kids?

anonimi:
Why is Wike giving him the opportunity to get attention by failing to pay teachers their money?

What is Wike doing with the increased revenue if he can't pay teachers? Does he not appreciate education in addition to being a rogue

So sad to see how some of us have no qualms showing our 200 million mumu credentials.

Ask Wike that. It doesn't erase the fact that it's unreasonable for anyone to use children for protests.

Wow, using children for protest? This is so unreasonable.

“S for Suegbe, T for Tinubu, W for Wike”, VDM called out, while the children repeated.

Two wrongs don't make one right. No one will correct him, but they'll come out to lament if the police or government does anything.
This fellow looks for attention so bad, it seems he's trying to hide something under government persecution. Whatever he does, people will say government is getting back at him or setting him up.

Somebody found an opportunity to rip off believers !

Those are not believers but Nigerians. No believer will buy Jerusalem sand.

Not much has changed about 32 years later, you know.

I was a national delegate to the SDP convention in Jos.i was directly copted by MKO himself to join Jonathan Zwingina in the Campaign communications Dept when he came to Tafawa Balewa College to speak with delegates kept there. MKO was miffed when he heard me speak. Atiku and Kingibe had at that time moved many of my Delta state delegates separately to Bauchi to avoid poaching. MKO sent his aides to get to me and surprisingly changed my accommodation to Hill station hotel. After we won MKO began to reconcile the party but in the process allowed the military arranged NWC which included Tony Anenih and Sule Lamido to subsist. The military knew they were not going to handover. They already had their plot in place. But then IBB was at his wits end. He had no tricks left in his bag. Besides, during the primaries Atiku and kingibe were already blackmailing delegates not to waste their votes insisting that if MKO wins the military will not handover. Their argument was that the military establishment then can only handover to a northerner. So it was obvious they knew the game plan.

On the other side of the aisle, Arthur Nzeribe, Uche Chukwumerije had already registered ABN and were waiting with their foot soldiers among whom was Peter Obi who served the Justice Bassey Ikpeme's court order barring NEC to conduct June 12th elections. So it is pretty ironic to find Sule Lamido attempting to turn history on his head. I think he has amnesia as he seems to have forgotten how he was used by the military to join the June 12th chaos in the jungle jobbers.

Dr. Tosan Harriman is a prominent Nigerian academic and voice for Niger Delta narratives. He bridges rigorous scholarship and media activism—teaching, speaking, writing, and engaging in socio-political debates to shed light on the interplay between regional identity and national policymaking.

Guestmale:
And these are the people that want to take over from PBAT they criticize so much of many wrong doings they want to use deceitfulness to come to power. How can we now trust these deceitful people with power.

Exactly. Like i have always said, they have no plans or alternate solutions except to get Tinubu out of power.

The comedians are banking on mistakes and gullibility of people voting ADC instead of APC. Very analog set of people.

Omo, Lamido Lamidini don go find trouble wey pass am oh.
We know what Kingibe that was supposed to be Abiola's vice did, we're not complaining. But for political gain, this man wan distort history to give Tinubu a bad name. No fear of God at all.

Another one bites the dust, politics is local. Can you imagine, every single week, there's a leader, senator, governor, etc joining the APC. The jokers will still tell us that they, Nigerians will decide the election and that APC rigged the election results. Are these on ground leaders detecting to APC for the past months from Angola?

Much better than nothing as was in the past. This is 2025 but sore losers will complain, it's destiny.
Maybe because money will be stolen, there should be no more budget again or what is the point of complaint without alternative or superior solutions and ideas?

This bros is trying hard to do his job but silence is usually the best answer for the foolish.
Some people don't know that Abiola had a 'good' relationship with IBB and his boys before contesting and winning elections. It's like Dangote having a relationship with the government. Abiola and his boys never esperedit. Now revisionists want to twist history for the gullible and ignorant.

DarkLover:
They're way above my league, but I found favour in their eyes and I was greatly favoured.

I've this class of people in my life; they've rendered help that I often feel like I don't even deserve. There's nothing I can give them in return that would repay them for their deeds.

I've been thinking lately, how do I appreciate these people? Have you been in my shoes before? I need your help!

Don't disappoint them, work hard so they are proud that you are doing well. Honour them by calling them as they grow older. If practicable, help and bless their children. Pray for them.

That's like 4,800 people in the eyes of some herdsmen because 1cow is like 150 human lives according to some reports. Na wa oh. Murefa, Murefaaaaa.

It's not a requirement, though it's good for your health sometimes.
It's a two way thing. If you forget, it helps with trust and moving on. If you don't forget, you are twice shy.
Even Jesus remembers He was crucified despite forgiving right there on the cross.
God forgives our sins and treats us like we never committed them, that's justification and it's by faith.
