Figure of speech to shoot someone and even break the television. Wike will be history SOON, just like APC..

This generator in our days was mostly Lister. Used for powering house, grinding and molding blocks. It is called water and diesel, whinning can send you to early grave, if whiner break, the jaw like structure can be like Samason's weapon of MD.

Auditor messenger is now a lawyer. Power will not reside with you till eternity.

Drug war is crippling to Nigeria. We need to do great training our children.

Condolences to his family. One truth we all pretend it will not happen, is we shall all die one day. Money, fame, positions will be immaterial. They dont use Nigeria hospitals, but they have improved infrastructure.

We thought Mr.Tunji will be better, but truth is things are getting worse.

Congratulations Ms. Amaka. God bless.

APC has institunalised deception and lying.

How we see truth and pretend to wear the cloak of hypocrisy.

This is another Nafiu Gombe in the making.

Wike forget, future never forget. We shall be here to laugh.

Photoups. IGR off Lagos enough to electrify, provide water and Rail systems. But apasapo lopoju (Collections to various illegal pockets.

The truth is that our preservation level is low. Each time I go markets like Ketu, Oyingbo, Owode in Offa, Oro, I see are perishables are wasted through transportation and storage. We can do better Nlfpmod.

A leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Delta state and former House of Representatives aspirant for Warri federal constituency, Mr Moses Yabrade has said he would continue to remain politically strong despite glaring alleged effort to marginalize him in the party.


Yabrada who is a founding member of the APC and was secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria , ACN, in Warri south West local government area , at the time the party joined Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, to form the APC, promised that his impact would be felt in the Warri federal constituency in the coming general polls as a politician in the area .


According to him since decampees from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, joined the APC there had been several moves to reduce him in the party.

He recalled several risks he took and the sacrifices he went through during the last general elections to ensure victory for the APC at the Delta south senatorial elections where Senator Joel-Onowakpo- Thomas won.

“I started out as a ward Chairman in ACN, from where I became the Acting LGA Secretary and participated in all the congress from 2013, where the Legacy parties (ACN, CPC) were dissolved and part of ANPP, APGA were merged to form the APC. I became the pioneer secretary of the APC, Warri South West LGA, Delta State in 2014. Participated in all the registration processes of the party from 2013 and that of 2018. I was a National Delegate in 2014 Presidential primaries. I was also an acting Senatorial Secretary in 2018 “, he said.


“Well, I will not run away from the house I built, neither will I vacate my sweat for others to harvest, nor will I foolishly fight against massive state resources. I am a strategic fighter . You can see the long time It took me to react, months! I have perfected my plans. You have won the battle as expected, but the war just started from my end.

“I am still a member of the party and going nowhere. I will shock you all, especially the political actors in Warri Federal and the Senatorial zone. I know I will be ignored, just the way I want it. Thank God my survival is not based on politics, so I can conveniently take a marathon. but unfortunately this war, will end swiftly, as it is time bound, and may end badly, even for me, a cost I have carefully counted before starting out today as “he that is down fears no fall”, he added.

Let’s see the one your state government did that made you to run away from your state of origin

My dad is Isale Eko around Onala, Fashola's house and Agarawu, but I am from KWARA.

I just pray AMUPITAN will not make Nigeria history.

Name the projects and let's see them.

Wrong to say condolences, because today survival may be victims tomorrow. Nigerians still supporting APC need special cards.

The European Union, along with the Federal Government and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, has called for urgent action to end food waste and promote sustainable consumption and production.

They noted that when food is wasted, the water, energy, and labour that went into producing it are also wasted, while accelerating climate change and undermining global efforts to build a zero-waste circular future.

This was disclosed in a statement by the EU delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS on Monday.

Speaking in Abuja, during the commemoration of this year’s International Zero Waste Day, with the theme “Food waste reduction – minimisation and valorisation,” Zissimos Vergos, Deputy Ambassador, EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, disclosed that Nigeria wastes roughly 38 million tonnes of food every year, more than any other country on the African continent.


He noted that, globally, in 2022 alone, nearly one billion tonnes of food, almost one-fifth of all food available to consumers, was wasted. “This is not just a loss of food, it is a squandering of precious resources, a missed opportunity to combat hunger, and a direct threat to our planet’s health,” he added.

The Deputy further noted that food loss and waste are major drivers of environmental degradation, contributing up to 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, nearly five times the emissions of the entire aviation sector, and accounting for as much as 40 per cent of global methane emissions.

Highlighting some of the government’s efforts, he said, “The Nigeria circular Economy Roadmap, the establishment of the Interministerial circular Economy Committee, the push to develop a National Plastic Waste Management Regulation, these are not small gestures. These are structural shifts.


“These signals that Nigeria is not waiting for someone else to solve its problem; it is building the system to solve it from within. Now, today’s theme, food waste reduction, minimisation, and valorisation, is the right conversation in the right moment.”

Vergos further shared three key lessons from the EU’s experience to help Nigeria reduce food waste and boost food security. First, he urged the country to invest in rural roads, storage, and cold chains to fix the “last mile” beyond the farm. Second, he urged the country to promote the processing of fresh produce into value-added products like tomato paste and cassava flour by linking smallholder farmers to processors and markets. Lastly, he called on the government to embed zero waste, recycling, and resource saving into the school curriculum from the primary level to build a sustainable culture in the next generation.

Reiterating the EU’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s efforts to curb food waste, he said, “The EU stands ready to be your partner in that work, through funding, through technical cooperation, and through genuine solidarity.”


In his keynote address, Balarabe Lawal, the Minister of Environment, restated the government’s commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable practices towards securing the health and well-being of our Nigerians.

He said, “Food waste remains a significant challenge that affects not only our environment, but also our economy and society. Every discarded meal represents wasted resources such as water, energy, labour, and capital, while Nigerians continue to face food insecurity. Addressing food waste is therefore central to sustainable development and ensuring a healthier future for all.

“The Federal Ministry of Environment, in this year’s national appropriation, has developed projects on food waste elimination in major markets around Nigeria. And this is to show you that the Federal Ministry of Environment is tackling the issues of food waste at its core, especially post-harvest losses.”

Stating that addressing food waste aligns perfectly with the Ministry’s core objectives, he added, “Reducing food waste will not only help to lower pollution and greenhouse gases, but also conserve valuable resources and promote more efficient and responsible consumption patterns across households, businesses, and institutions.”


Amb. Philbert Johnson, Director and Representative of the UNIDO Sub-Regional Office in Nigeria, emphasised that while food is good, none should go to waste, especially given the country’s food insecurity and malnutrition.

He said, “Food is far more than a commodity: it is a foundation of wealth, a driver of health, and a pillar of security. It sustains our homes, supports industries, and underpins the stability of our societies.

“When food systems function efficiently, they generate income, enhance resilience, and improve well-being. When food systems fail, when food is lost or wasted, the consequences ripple across our economies, our environment, and our communities.”

He therefore reaffirmed UNIDO’s commitment to support the government of Nigeria in building resilient, inclusive, and sustainable agro-industrial systems.

Nigeria is facing a significant food waste crisis, with an estimated 38 million tonnes of food wasted annually, making it the highest in Africa. The European Union, Federal Government, and United Nations Industrial Development Organisation are calling for urgent action to address this issue and promote sustainable consumption and production. Speaking at the International Zero Waste Day commemoration in Abuja, EU Deputy Ambassador Zissimos Vergos highlighted the environmental impact of food waste, noting it contributes up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of global methane emissions.

The Nigerian government has initiated efforts to tackle food waste, including developing a Circular Economy Roadmap and establishing an Interministerial Circular Economy Committee. Vergos shared three key lessons from the EU’s experience: investing in rural infrastructure, promoting value-added products, and incorporating zero-waste education into school curricula.

You can see how those who are working for Tinubu think we are all kids. Bayo Onanuga is a liar, I know this man from PM News, Money that was NEVER released after almost two years.

Like pekelemesi is daddy, always boasting.

In Ayafele's voice, Prophetess Esther mi Ajayi.

Even if Mrs Remi is INEC chairman, Tinubu is not beyond 2027. Why will permanent voter card need revalidation? I pray for Amupitan, may his name not answer negatively.

All of them then are opportunists. Most of them never want Abiola, but used his name has a ladder to destroy Nigeria. Nigeria will take back our country.

Thank God Femi has been cured of his head injury. Let me laugh. Internet doesn't forget.

Tinubu is a snitch all along. A man of very questionable characters. He is not beyond 2027.

After forcing bandits on us A, B, C, stealing our money and giving us darkness.

It is not Christian genocide, they are just wiping Christian communities.

Mimo Mimo. Kise gbogbo awon ti pemi ni Oluwa Oluwa ni yio wo ijoba orun.

Today is Easter, Jesus is Risen.

Chelsea will play Arsenal.
