You cannot have an atom of integrity in you and be comfortable being called an APC member

You people should stop being dumb. How many times do you hear Yoruba presidency or Hausa presidency? Say a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction. Did you people attend a night school?

10mobile:
We often blame the politicians for our woes. But, many times, we are the ones who fail to do what we need to do.

People show high levels of voter aparthy for fear of violence, lack of trust for the umpire and voter suppression. So, stop blaming the people for it.

zero8zero:
All the Governors love Mr President.

In a free and fair election, governors have ONE vote. Kicking Tinubu out is a task Nigerians must accomplish!

You didn't read about her robbing a bank weeks ago? Na the money she's spending now

Agbadorians no fit make sense. The constitution has no place for the Office of the First Lady. Where has she been getting all the money she keeps spending?

zero8zero:
Greedy Nigerians but the President is always the scape goat, blame FG even for the greed of the traders. You hoard foods just for the purpose of hiking the price in the future, yet Nigerians insults the Government over artificial high food prices. It is only in Nigeria that prices come down and they will refuse to lower price, when fuel comes down, transporters refuse to lower price. Even in the North, some traders are angry food prices are crashing. Enemies of the state.

For the first time, you are making a sensible comment in defence of the druggie. You will get a raise if you continue like this. Keep it up! 💪💪

There should be a law handing down at least 10 years imprisonment or 20 million fine or both to people who share fake news on social media. Wrongdoing must attract heavy penalties in Nigeria. We cannot keep building a country of reckless and idiotic people!

Must you make it public?some billionaires are nut money miss road.

He's into entertainment, showbiz and hospitality. He wants to keep promoting himself as a way of promoting his brand.

Was he the same man who promised to fix electricity issue in one month?

Are you sure Hushpuppi is ever coming out? What's happening to Ijele could be his case. When you hurt many people, you may spend the rest of your life paying for your crimes.

Oga, you can say anything about Peter Obi, but you see this one, it won't fly. Some of us knew him way back when he was governor. Peter Obi doesn't go in long convoys.

It's interesting to see someone who claims to be in opposition trying to drag a fellow opposition down just to shine. Sowore is not a serious candidate.

Nigeria is a country that thrives on mediocrity. We can as well move on with Tinubu.

helinues:
Public sector is complicated to lead

Public sector isn't complicated. People just go there with evil intension - to loot the country with reckless abandon. Nigeria just needs one sane leader like Peter Obi to clean up the system and everyone will sit up!

Nigeria still has a long way to go!

Government should directly get involved in housing or partner with the private sector so we can have a decent city. We need massive storey buildings to redefine the cities' skylines.

The idea of every tom, dick and harry building his small house all over the place makes no sense!

Does it mean that Americans live in some countries without proper documentation? Please deport them immediately!

Politicians have no regards for us

The benefit of being here is why you registered on the platform.

I've been here since 2012 as guest, found my benefits and been a regular since 2015

I'm here for gbas gbos! That shit is no real benefit. Check - this is a new account!

BABANGBALI:
Introduce monthly subscription so as to separate serious minded people like me from the noise makers like mannabbqgrils, ajepako and co. Also get rid of all your moderators. Most of them are feeling like gods. Finally, do something about Christians taking oaths before commenting or posting on the Muslim forum. Why are the Muslims not being asked to do same on the Christians forum? I don't think this is fare.

People don't subscribe to a website they don't benefit from. What's the benefit of being here?

You are asking as if you are ready to fix it!

Just get serious about cleansing this forum.

Nairaland has been reduced to the battlefield of tribalists.

Clean it up!!!

True except for.population control. We need to utilize our large population to our advantage.

Population control will make your country end up like Japan and south Korea. Aging population, not enough young people to pay the tax needed for pensions. Growing debt.

Talk is cheap....

The islamic north calls western education haram, yet they want to exist in the 21st century and you want to utilize your large population to your advantage.

I smile in Japanese 🙂🙂🙂

Not all of us are illiterates.....
What machine do they use in measuring the power generated and supplied that the FG is indebted to them for?

Is it not the same way those at the transmission side go about bringing up estimated bills to consumers for what was not. seen and used ?

Visit a NEPA office and they'll enlighten you. They have a system for measuring power supply, both the Gencos and Discos. They even track the amount of energy supplied to every transformer. That's how they stop load shed.

Who made that Benue State governor a Catholic priest? Instead of stopping the marauders from wiping out his people, he's more interested in stopping people from offering help to the IDPs.

Even if he calls it a political visit, the most important thing is that the IDPs are getting the help he obviously cannot offer them.

nairalanda1:
For individual houses solar may work

But for mega estates and cities? Probably not.

To generate one thousand megawatt of power you need a solar grid that would cover a large piece of land. You can build a gas station that would supply 5000 mw on a smaller area of land

We just like to deceive ourselves. Many Nigerians cannot afford stable power supply. Hence, people are bypassing their metres and companies that supply power are running into debt.

Power isn't cheap. In countries where power is massively subsidized, their population isn't as big as ours. This country needs population control, else people will keep committing suicide due to economic hardship.

Wike, you cannot be the judge of your case. Get an auditing firm to verify the information you are churning out.

Anyways, congratulations for at least announcing the progress report. State governors need to take a cue from you and announce theirs as well and how the funds were spent.

Wahala no dey finish for this country

End this national grid madness and have all states generate their own power.

That will save this country a lot of headache.

Lifestone:
I think you guys should for once credit President Bola Tinubu for the reforms.
That's the source of Money for Otti

Alex Otti was once the GMD of Diamond Bank. That simply means the man understands every trick of financial management more than any other governor in Nigeria today.

What Alex Otti is doing has nothing to do with Tinubu who cannot even tell his left from his right.

Congratulations to Access Bank.

Our biggest challenge in this country is lack of unity that has resulted in leadership failure.

If we ever get our leadership right, Nigeria would be competing with China, India and America. These are countries that have the population capacity to match ours.

Access Bank PLC, a subsidiary of Nigeria’s Access Holdings PLC, has secured approvals from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and Kenya’s National Treasury and Economic Planning for the acquisition of 100% shareholding of the National Bank of Kenya (NBK).

Access Bank is acquiring NBK through the purchase of NBK shares from KCB Group PLC, which had held full ownership of the bank since 2019.

According to a statement issued by the CBK on Monday, April 14, 2025, the apex bank granted its approval for the transaction on April 4, 2025, under Section 13(4) of the Banking Act, while the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning gave additional approval on April 10, 2025, pursuant to Section 9 of the same Act.

Assets transfer
As part of the acquisition process, certain assets and liabilities of NBK will be transferred to KCB Bank Kenya Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of KCB Group. Both the CBK and the Cabinet Secretary have approved this transfer.

The acquisition and transfer of NBK assets and liabilities will take effect upon the full completion of the transaction, in line with the agreement between Access Bank and KCB Group.

Access Bank PLC, which now owns NBK in full, is part of Access Holdings PLC, a financial conglomerate headquartered in Nigeria. The group has aggressively expanded its footprint across Africa and beyond in recent years.

The bank now operates in over a dozen African countries, including Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, Mozambique, Zambia, and South Africa, and maintains a presence in the UK, UAE, and representative offices in China, Lebanon, and India.

With the acquisition of NBK, Access Bank strengthens its position in Kenya’s competitive banking landscape, adding to its operations in the country and reinforcing its East African expansion strategy.

Transaction to enhance sector stability
The Central Bank of Kenya has welcomed the acquisition, citing its potential to enhance the resilience and stability of the Kenyan banking sector.

The regulator emphasized that the transaction aligns with its broader mandate to support sound financial sector development while protecting the interests of depositors and investors.

CBK’s endorsement suggests confidence in Access Bank’s capacity to maintain continuity of services at NBK and leverage the bank’s infrastructure and customer base to further develop digital and financial services in Kenya.

What you should know
Founded in 1968, the National Bank of Kenya was initially created as a fully government-owned institution aimed at providing credit access to Kenyans and promoting indigenous economic control in the post-independence era.

In September 2019, NBK was acquired by KCB Group, which has since operated it as a subsidiary, alongside other financial services businesses like NBK Bancassurance Intermediary Limited. Access Bank and KCB Group had signed a binding agreement to acquire 100% shareholding in National Bank of Kenya Limited in March 2024.
