Same way they lied about police barricading wadata plaza and stooping the meeting from holding which was a big lie from the pit of hell.

Lol...who brought police to the Wadata plaza? Did you follow the update or you grabbed what soothed you? Why did the PDP chairman apologize at the meeting for the change of schedule? I won't answer all those questions for you. Go for more research.

Thanks.

This is propaganda. The Management of the hotel did not cancel the contract. Salihu is just trying to whip up sentiments and public sympathy and it has failed.
Proof:
The event will hold at the said venue at 2 pm. If true, it was propaganda and coalition has shown to have adopted propaganda from the inception of their campaign opening themselves up for an equal payback by the APC.

Afrowits:
My thoughts exactly and this multiple coalition/parties are only giving the current government more advantage. I was hoping most of them in the opposition should all come together and form one coalition party. The APC will just be laughing at them.

By the end of today we will know how many faction there are.

helinues:
I am expecting Fayemi to also join the coalition as he has been singing canary song lately. Let those who want to form the opposition from South West show their faces now so that we can know how to handle them

True talk. No more hide and seek. Make everybody pitch their tent to the far right or far left. No more sitting on the fence.

We are also waiting for Ali Ndume to join them too.

Prince111111:
ADA na just plan B to fall on should there be sabotage of ADC once it's announced.

We will see the people who will be at the unveiling today and see those who will unveil ADA in days to come.

Amitex:
The president is planned for the South East. Just be prepared for PO.

What about Atiku spearheading the coalition and taking all the bullets while PO is still playing hide and seek? Does Atiku looks like someone to pay the ultimate prize of shelving his ambition for Obi who was once his deputy or who cost him a lot in the last election by splitting his votes?

THINK TWICE MY BROTHER.

helinues:
When the head is rotten...

Mark, Aregbesola, how political relevant are they from their respective states?

I am even still waiting to know: Who are those in ADC and who are those in ADA? Because there are already two faction of the Coalition as it stands today.

Wickedfact:
Out of the 3 top party positions, they gave the North 2 and SW one, nothing for the SE. But you are happy with going to Enugu and summoning the traditional rulers with a promise handover to a SE candidate in 2031.

Amaechi used your head in the last election, he just confessed it. You are still suffering from Wike's own till today.
Since you can't use your heads to think, It is the turn of the North to use your heads.

Sincerely, I don't know why they can't make a South easterner their National Publicity Secretary (Spokesperson), which is even the least position of the three, to show balance and fairness from the start.
From the beginning of the new marriage they have shown that they do not rate the South East. Why is it difficult for a people to think and self determined never to settle for less.

Bluntguy:
Rest in HIS bosom, man of God. You have fought the good fight.

I watch his programs regularly on SBN Channel 345 DSTV.
Another world evangelist has gone to bed.

franchasng:
Between now and 2026 the real coalition will be known okay?

I thought the real coalition will be unveiled tomorrow now.
Was I wrong?

franchasng:
Even if they like, let the coalition make Peter Obi their gateman, we will go with the coalition.


Tinubu can never be allowed to destroy Nigeria with his tribalism, corruption and incompetence beyond 2027.


The damage he has done is enough.


Tinubu brought serious division between Igbos and Yorubas all because of his foolish ambition

Sorry to ask ooo...or maybe I should face my business Sha.
Which coalition? The ADA coalition or the ADC coalition? Because coalition don dey jam coalition now ooo.

Is it that confusion is confusing the coalition or the coalition is confusing confusion?
Is the coalition party ADA or ADC?
Or are we have two different coalitions with ADA Atiku/Ameachi and ADC Obi/El Rufai?

Coalition of confusion indeed. After their unveilings, we will know.

Mrfixitt:
I have never seen a people so obsessed with power and greed like Africans.

You people will just be saying Africa, Africa.
Do you know that the longest serving president ever in history was Fidel Castro of Cuba and he is white (not an African). He ruled Cuba for 49 years.
What about the Kim family in North Korea? They are not blacks, are they?

I am not supporting and will not support sit tight government, but I will never agree that it is peculiar to Africa alone. Africa learnt and is still learning.

Thanks.

edic:
The truth and politics are two parallel lines that can never meet

Don't expect core politicians like we have it in Nigeria to tell you the truth in times like this

What truth do you want to hear? Your own truth right? Any other truth is invalid right?

babat89:
The uproar from the tax ammendment palava made him soft-pedal a bit.

The North is very scared as we speak.
Na dem dey benefit from the current centralised government the most...
Reason they start crying once they are not in power.

I think from the tax bill he has discovered that shetima may want to do him like Atiku-Obasanjo and instigate the northern bigwigs against his reforms. The tax bill was a litmus test for Shetima and he failed. It pains me because I like the guy but I love federalism more than northern domination.

Putindbutt:
The President has signed a new amendment bill to the 2024 bill. He has fully decentralized power and removed the load totally from the federal to the states.

If this man enter for second term. I am very sure he will change the constitution of Nigeria and make it a decentralized state with higher responsibilities and powers relinquished to states.
The presidents after him will beore of ceremonial while the governors and LGA chairmen will be more responsible for their people.
He is taking it bit by bit now because of political reasons, when he wins he will do the do.

HE WILL GO DOWN AS THE BEST PRESIDENT NIGERIA EVER HAD.

Ikaeniyan0:
The Igbos said the bill won't go through because the north was against it. Igbos were really happy when the north was against the bill, they supported northern politicians in opposing the bill

They opposed the bill for two reasons:
1. It won't favor the South East because most of their investments are in the West and all the VAT will go to the West.
2. It will be in their favor politically if the West and the core north are at loggerheads.

IN BOTH CASES IT WAS SELFISH. But I must say, not all of them but the majority were against the bill for either or both of these reasons.

Wetin this one dey talk?.
The only federal capital in Lagos is the Lagos Island.
The remaining lands in Lagos belongs to the Western Nigerian government, history is beautiful.

Leave them to their ignorance.
Since Abuja became Capital over 30 years now, how many Yorubas have left Yoruba land to seek greener pastures in Abuja. Majority of Yoruba resides in Yoruba or outside the country.

ZUBY77:
The correct question should be,
Why was Tinubu defeated in Lagos?
If you can be able to answer this question fairly, you will know your answer. You can also push the same topic on people's faces every morning, you will be getting same answers.

Lagos is a Nigerian Project, not a Yoruba project. Please what exactly stopped the Owners of Abuja from developing the city and getting all the IGR before it was made Nigeria project?
People from all over Nigeria especially the South East have thousands of hotels in Lagos and they don't pay taxes to their various States. Where do you think this IGR comes from?

We all know it's a south western state but every part of Nigeria from Sokoto to Rivers have investments in Lagos because it was the capital of this country for goodness sake.

To slap you dey hungry me but I go just leave you.
It's just like saying, "Since America was developed by other people (African, Asians, European) then Americans should not boast. Why can others go and develop their land and leave America alone? Can you see that saying Lagos is what it is because of outsiders beg the question - why can't outsiders go back to their homes and build their homes first? Its just like saying Since Obama (A black man) was president of America, America is dominated by Blacks and Whites are in the Minority. Can you see its f**lishness to say since Peter won in Lagos than Lagos is dominated by non Yorubas.

MAKE I REST HERE.

BlackAdam65:
Let’s cut the delusions. For decades, Nigerian states groveled for federal crumbs while their economies suffocated. Tinubu just handed them a guillotine to cut their own chains. Here’s the cold, logical breakdown of how this reform forces states to survive or collapse on their own merit:



💀 THE HARD TRUTH: STATES NOW HAVE NO EXCUSES

1. VAT Blood Transfusion
- FG surrenders 5% of its VAT share → states drink directly from revenue veins.
- Lagos, Rivers, Kano: The lions will feast (₦2-5bn extra monthly).
- Zamfara, Sokoto: The weak will starve if they don’t innovate.

2. Electronic Tax Domination
- States now OWN all POS/bank transfer taxes.
- Translation: No more hiding behind "Abuja didn’t send money." Your state’s fate is now tied to its **hustle.

3. Betting & Gaming – The New Oil
- States can finally tax betting companies like the cash cows they are.
- Lagos alone could drain ₦3bn/month from this.
- Lazy states? Enjoy your empty coffers.

4. State Bonds: Sink or Swim
- Tax-free bonds = cheaper loans for smart states.
- But here’s the catch: Investors won’t buy bonds from failed governments.
- Good governors build trust → get funding.
- Failures will beg IMF.

5. Death to Parasitic Taxes
- Roadblocks? Banned.
- Multiple levies? Outlawed.
- No more "area boys" as tax collectors states must formalize or rot.

---

⚡ WHY TINUBU’S MOVE IS GENIUS
This isn’t "help." This is Darwinian economics:
- Strong states (Lagos, Rivers, Ogun) will thrive and attract investment.
- Weak states will collapse into fiscal irrelevance unless they reform.
- Governors can no longer blame Abuja the money is there. Spend it or get exposed.



🔴 THE DARK REALITY CHECK
This reform rewards competence and punishes laziness.
- Smart states will:
- Build infrastructure → attract businesses → grow IGR.
- Failed states will:
- Embezzle the new funds → remain beggars → watch their youth flee.

Tinubu didn’t give states "help." He gave them a test.


🗣 YOUR MOVE, NIGERIANS
The era of "FG is our father" is over. Now:
- Demand transparency from your governors.
- Name and shame looters.
- Support states that deliver.

The weak will perish. The strong will rule. Which side is your state on?

#TinubuTheReformer #StateExecution #NoMoreExcuses
(Drop your predictions which states will rise, and which will fall?)


PS: This is the hard medicine Nigeria needed. The states that swallow it will survive. The rest? History will forget them. 💀

This is a wonderful write up.
An average Nigerian should be able to comprehend this.

FreeThinkerPlut:
Congrats on passing a bill that ensures lazy states keep getting paid for doing nothing. Bravo! If that’s your idea of “progress,” no wonder Rwanda is leaving us behind while we’re here clapping for crumbs.

And comparing this to Buhari’s RUGA? Please. At least that one didn’t pretend to be economic reform.

Carry on. Nigeria is definitely getting somewhere—just not forward.

FreeThinker from Pluto

Lol...do your comparative analysis on the previous laws viz a viz these new ones and let's see how lazy states gets more money according to this new laws.

TALK IS CHEAP, SHOW US ANALYSIS TO BACK YOU CLAIMS UP.

THANKS.

The Igbos said the bill won't go through because the north was against it. Igbos were really happy when the north was against the bill, they supported northern politicians in opposing the bill

Though I don't do tribal things. I am just happy the bill scaled through despite all the altercations.

The thing pain people who hate to see Nigeria progress. The tax bill they said will not be passed was finally passed. All these epistles are just a charade. The tax bill has been passed and we celebrate the progress.

Congratulations to Nigeria. We are getting there. Anybody that want to cry should keep crying, na them get the water for eye.

You think it is easy to pass a bill that favors your region more than the other regions? Ask Buhari and his RUGA bill that was trashed in the waste bin because the South was against it. The North was against TINUBU on this bill and yet it was passed in less than 2 years. NA PLAY?

Pickieox:
Define a woman for me according to you. Or let me say what does it takes to be a woman. Don't tell me the trash you are taught in your biology class.

She just defined a woman for you. What else do you want?
Do men have womb?
Do men menstrate?
Do men have fallopian tube?

How else do you want a woman defined?
Define your own woman make we hear.

GO ON!

The guy is a babe. Take it or leave it, that's what makes him feel good. People should be allowed to do what makes them feel good. Judgement is of the Lord

Reminding HIM that HE is a MAN makes us feel good too.
Do you have problem with us feeling good?
It is people like you that makes the society what it is today - "anybody SHOULD do as they wish as long as it makes them feel GOOD."

You think God will only judge them and leave those who support or call for them to be left alone? It is just like saying; "I don't do po*n, I only enjoy watching po*n, so I am free from judgement of those who fornicate and call it po*n movies." Watching it supports them financially and that is complicit and has its judgement too.

Romans 1:32 (KJV)

"Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, [/b]but have pleasure in them that do them."[b]

Did you know that virtually all of the self-made rich person you know took risks. Even many of those who inherited fortunes did. Are you aware?

Even many of these thriving igbo boys you see around are walking risks. They take crazy risks for a living!

It's okay not to take risks... Not everyone cares about building big businesses. And that's honestly fine!

But, take this to the bank. You can't do business in a big way without taking risks like taking 100m once over 1.5m per month for life.

Since we are in "Do you know?"
Do you know that more than 80% business started globally end up in disappointment?

Do you know that the 100Million has no assurance as do the 50k daily?

Do you know that just one wrong move could cost the whole 100M at once but one move cannot cost the daily 50k at once?

Do you know that Assurance is more important than Risk and Consistency than Bravery?

Thanks.

jesusjnr2020:
This scammer again?

It's now first-fruit offering not miracle/healing soap and water. Smh

What baffles me is the fact that many people still go to his church. As in, why? Is it that they have been hypnotized or what? How will you keep going to a church the whole world knows the pastor is a scammer?

The thing pass me ooo, I just say make I ask.
WHY?

FitCorper:
Someone should summarize, what does forebearance mean? 😢

Lol...
Forbearance means ability to be able to endure persecutions or challenges.

You are welcome.

adekolaelect:
Laughing 😂😂😂😂😂 . Everything is level and prospects with life experiences. Can you tell me what that your saving plan is meant for if it ever become a successful one? Oga you need to grow in business orientations than this . I assumed this your conclusions look petty .

I am a businessman and I am telling that regular daily 50k is in many ways better than 100M once.
I could grow my business with the daily 50k (1.5M monthly) and in twenty years I could be happier and more successful than the man with the 100M as of today, unless he is as smart or smarter than I am.
BRAVERY HAS LED A LOT INTO REGRET. WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO INSTRUCT.

Thanks.

APC seriously going for the 2/3 majority by the 2027 election and they are nearer by the day.

How many do they have in each house now?

Brandosky:
If i take 100 million and invest in treasury bill for 364 days. I will be getting 54,000 daily interest.

You have a point though. BUT
Having 100 million at once has its own security risk. 50k daily does not really expose you that much to fraud and kidnap ransom.

Though you have a strong economic point.
