But the song lacks deep content. It seems like a remix of his last two songs but with new words/verses. Hopefully his fans won't run into Favour fatique.
Bestmanfornow: Anambra state now boasts of two prominent mega malls namely Onitsha Mall and Awka Mall, excluding Ekwulobia Mall and other private malls which are significantly smaller in sizes when compared to these two.
/ I was never a big fan of Soludo. But all the feedbacks I got recently have been very positive. Hopefully he will continue with the same tempo against crime as before the November election.
/ Bashir Ahmed told his truth and some people cannot handle the truth. Who in Nigeria doesn't know that judgment in our courts are prearranged or influenced? Anyone that confidently tells you to go to court to seek redress knows the outcome is dependent on the exchange of brown envelopes or credit transfer through a proxy.
Nigerian judiciary is a mess. The government officials know this and that's why they disregard judgment from courts.
Their major concern should be the level of indiscipline in the force that would give her personnel the audacity to ignore IGP or Presidential orders/directives.
NaijaRoyalty: Enugu state Governor, Mr Peter Mbah has armed the newly established forest guards with modern riffles, patrol vans, drones and motor bikes
This has become necessary to keep Enugu forests safe from criminal Islamic bandits terorists.
/ Why waste all that resources for reelection knowing that he will win. As a matter of fact, his harshest critics will be the first to cast vote for him. They are all Omokris-in-waiting.
NSCDC have fully-armed personnel too. VIPs are renting the police because of the guns not the uniform. As a matter of fact, NSCDC officers carry newer rifles than the police. They are just MOPOL in different uniform.
/ Let's revisit 2022. My prophecy is coming to pass. The era of lamentation and gnashing of teeth. Forewarned is forearmed.
In the same vein, I congratulated the good people of Niger State after APC won all the LGA chairmanship position with a caveat: "Do not disturb our peace when what you just ordered is delivered hot and premium". /
Lolz. No comments until he reallocates those lands. Then and only then will I take Wike seriously. Right now he is only barking. He has been barking since and was roundly ignored. They know that one solution to the madness is to put pressure on Tinubu to remove him as the FCT Minister and everywhere will be quiet. That's all. It may seem that they are just giving him the silence treatment to hurt his feelings and ego
Kaliningrad: These are the people that wants to "rescue" Christians from Boko Haram and Bandits? Lmaoooo!!
They can't even protect their citizens inside their own country.
More Americans have died from gun violence and mass shootings this year alone than Boko Haram have killed in the last 5 years.

Exactly!
They should leave Nigerians alone to enjoy whatever rubbish they voted in or whatever rubbish they allowed to steal their votes. Saving Nigerians will turn the country into a welfare state inhabited by politically irresponsible Neanderthals. It is best they live out their choice.
Ttalk: This is getting out of hand. Where are those Alfas always reciting blues and throwing punchlines?
The way you lay your bed so you lie on it, many who have been defending the government when it is glaring that it is failing in security matter should be ready to feel the pains of those who the insecurity have affected.
Partisanship, shouldn't blind the heart of a sincere soul to speak the truth.
Until the government name the sponsors and arrest Gumi, I will consider the effort of the government over insecurity below average
/ Things are not getting out of hand.
What they ordered in 2023 election is being delivered. How is that a problem?
Yourprick: This the BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers Minister of Defense said bombs can't penetrate forests why can't this type of weapons be purchased
Did they tell you that they have no weapons to fight the terrorists? Do you believe that the ragtag terrorists can truly overpower the Nigerian army? Some invisible voices are commanding the military not to fight the terrorists. The few that dared to fight back to cover themselves are "court-martialled" for not obeying orders. Buying it is akin to buying it for the terrorists because by some magic, it will be abandoned to the terrorists. /
AlphaTaikun: Some of your points are valid especially with the monies spent on electricity generation during the OBJ years. However, we are talking about outright STEALING of over $4 billion back in the late 1990s via the Central Bank of Nigeria by Abacha and his cohorts into his foreign offshore bank accounts which were detected after he passed on. That's unprecedented in the history of Nigeria. The Turn-around maintenance problems and destruction of the 4 State-owned refineries started during the military dictatorship years. Turn-around maintenance is supposed to be done every 2 years BUT these highly corrupt military guys ensured the funding wasn't properly made so as to use the opportunity to give contracts to themselves, family members and friends to import bad fuel (high lead content) into Nigeria with Abacha's daughter being one of the importers of bad fuel into Nigeria and she made millions from that despite being exposed by the guerilla investigative media outfits at that time.
BUT just as I CLEARLY stated, in a democratic government, you can get called out by the citizens and civil societies over there in Nigeria if you deviate from the norm and that's the beauty of it as we get to see the Federal and State lawmakers and the governments at various levels retrace their steps when they make errors of judgement OR they fine-tune their policies much better. The constitutional review in almost done and that would ensure that State Policing is decentralized and more. Decision-making can be slower than in the highly corrupt military dictatorship days, BUT a democratic government is preferred than any other.
Cheers.

Constitutional review? Please do tell. Which regime did not embark on Constitutional review that yielded nothing--just mere academic exercise? And you believe that Tinubu's case will be different? Perhaps you were one of those who believed that the removal of subsidy would transform Nigeria into El Dorado. It gets worse. Perhaps you were one of those that erroneously believed that Tinubu built Lagos. Someone who stands for nothing falls for everything.
Talking about Abacha loot vs OBJ's loot. It is apparent and abashedly glaring that your primary concern is the means and not the result. Theft is theft. The end doesn't justify the means. In both cases, $4 billion and $16 billion disappeared respectively without a trace.
I will personally campaign for Tinubu in 2027. Not because he is competent but because I want Nigerians to fully live the consequences of their stupidity. Why stop halfway?
Ttalk: African leaders are so backward, you called military to take over because you lost an election
/ Just like in a kidnap case, a victim can be made to make calls at gun point to smoothen the deal for the coup plotters. When a kidnapped victim is forced to make calls to family members, does it mean that he invited kidnappers to grab him?
eepeepook: Probably petty robbers. Not everyone loses confidence from hearing gunshots. An uncle was robbed years back. The robbers were over forty in number. While they were breaking his security door, his neighbour started offloading shotgun rounds in the air to scare them. They laughed at the effort, promising that they’ll reach him when done with my uncle’s house.
/
Your uncle's neighbour is an idiot. Releasing gunshots in the air. What a waste of bullets? I don't understand why people do that.
Rule 1: Don't shoot if you don't intend to neutralize.
The choice was very clear: Confront a few thugs who snatch ballot boxes under 10 minutes or confront armed terrorists with Ak-47 who kidnap, maim or kill at will. Blinded by tribalism and religious bigotry, they chose to live with the latter. And here we are...Does it matter that both those tribal and religious bigots are also living in fear of their lives? Oh well....
AlphaTaikun: Your post right ABOVE isn't coming from a very informed historical position. You definitely are NOT a Baby-boomer or a Generation X (who was born between 1965 to 1979) for you to unfortunately openly support the military dictatorships that existed over there in Nigeria. Things got done quicker and that's one aspect BUT were the quick decisions done with less corruption and with due diligence? Under these days of democracies, you have more scrutiny of projects and the politicians and technocrats in government get called out if contracts are inflated. With the military guys, if you call out their corruption, they'll arrest you and even assassinate you like what happened in 1986 to the renowned Bendel State-born investigative journalist 'Dele Giwa who was blown up military style in his Ikeja residence via the FIRST EVER parcel bombing of an individual.
That highly IRRESPONSIBLE and notoriously corrupt Sani Abacha looting over 4 billion USD of Nigeria's money via the Central Bank of Nigeria into his personal offshore bank accounts. As of today, Nigeria is still receiving parts of that money back in what is famously known worldwide as the "Abacha LOOT" which the thief stole with his minions. There was NO freedom of speech as well with media outlets being raided constantly and editors thrown into jail, while many political assasinations of prominent people took place from the IBB years to the Abacha years. If you advocate for a Military coup under Military rule like many of these uninformed, anti-demicratic young ones (especially mainly from the South East of Nigeria have been doing right here on NL calling for a coup against the now President 'Bola Tinubu) you will be arrested and face execution
The Okigbo Panel ALSO emphasized on the massive corruption that took place under IBB years with reference to the Gulf Oil windfall as a result of Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield from 1990 to 1991 to curtail Sadam Hussein's invasion and annexation of the oil-rich Kuwait by Iraq as one of it's provinces.
I can go on and on about the negatives of military rule on Nigeria with reference to monies that could have been properly spent on infrastructure but we're siphoned and these Military dictators and their military and civilian associates became overnight multimillionaires from suppliting bad imported fuel and the land grabbings from 1985 in Festac Town under the corrupt IBB years thereby distorting the Festac Town masterplan with the conversation of gardens and designated parks into lands for property construction of massive mansions for the use of Ibrahim Babangida and his Military cronies. Any oppositions were met with ruthless forces.
I lived in Festac Town from the early 1980s when the duplexes on 5th Avenue were still being constructed and had NOT all been occupied and I knew how Festac Town was well laid out and was comparable to the BEST residential estates in Europe and America back in the early 1980s, BUT by the early 1990s, mansions had been constructed on sewage systems and some drainage channels by people linked to the newly minted military boys bourgeoisie of the corrupt IBB years thereby causing future blockages of drainage water flow. Festac Town is a metaphor for how the Military rule destroyed infrastructure and even abandoned several vital projects meant for the sustainable development of Nigeria.
/ The funny thing is that you just gave full analysis of Nigerian democracy from 1999 till date except that then Nigerians could boast of better security, naira was stable, inflation was manageable and government was run with less bureaucracy.
In our democracy, critics are being arrested and imprisoned, corruption is entrenched with impunity, unregulated real estate developments prevail. Do we talk about Turn Around Maintenance in the refineries or the unremitted billions of naira to the Federation account by NNPCL?
You alleged that Sani Abacha looted $4 bn. But OBJ blew $16 billion in Power/Electricity scam. The worst thing that happened to Abacha was death. Otherwise we wouldn't have heard about his loot like his colleagues. Please do tell which regime was/is not corrupt in Nigeria if that's the yardstick you want to embrace.
In this your democracy in the last two years, inflation has gone parabolic, insecurity is everywhere, wanton looting of the treasury is prevalent and those who dare criticize the politicians end up in jail.
/ All the terrorism-friendly policies of the Buhari regime must be struck out for any progress to be made. He made Gumi a celebrity overnight. Miyetti Allah became de facto spokespersons of Aso Rock. Reintegration and absorption of terrorists into the military was implemented. That devil destroyed Nigeria.
Putindbutt: These military coupists do not have sense, they are the worst at everything most especially in administrative governance. They always leave the country worse off than they met it. Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso are much worse now than when they took over. Jihadists are taking more territories, killing more soldiers. Human right abuse getting much worse, corruption at an all time high. And there have been attempts of counter coups, which clearly suggested that the Juntas are not providing the solutions needed hence the need to even overthrow them too. Secondly, I blame Gen Yakubu Gowon for this mess. When President Tinubu was trying to nib this in the bud, Gowon wrote a letter to Tinubu pleading with him to reverse his decisions against Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. Being the founder of ECOWAS, he wouldn't want to witness the disintegration of the body. Well, President Tinubu listened to him, reversed his decisions and lifted all sanctions against the countries and then asked them to return to ECOWAS. Now see how other military coupists are being emboldened because there was no severe consequences for the earlier criminals. If Gen Yakubu Gowon had allowed the President followed through on his actions and make an example of the coupists, it would have sent a strong warnings to every military forces on the continent of Africa.
/ Military government has been the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria. Those who complained were those who didn't have the opportunity to live the way the politicians are doing now. For one, things get done quicker and decisions got taken faster.
