So the debts listed by Anambra State government have been clarified to be IDA credits issued by the World Bank to the Federal Government.

Infact, State governments cannot apply for such loans at all. FG got it, and distributed it to the 36 states in Nigeria

Also, the DMO has clarified that as at the end of Obi's tenure, the debt was at $30 million, and that explains what Ibi.me said about Anambra being able to pay it off if Obiano wanted

Gloriousgbola, stop hiding updates and share with us when you hear it

BlueRayDick:
Credit to Olofin Ogunfunminire and his fellow Awori sons who first founded Lagos 😂😂😂

Nothing person no go read from the stables of TINUBUsexuals

Nothing wey person no go read, my brother

raumdeuter:
I go lie for you?

President Bola Tinubu’s individual footprint on the Dangote Refinery is distinct because it spans two entirely different eras of his political life. It bridges his foundational role as Governor of Lagos State (1999–2007) with his current executive interventions as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Aliko Dangote explicitly acknowledged this legacy, stating that the refinery is, “in many ways, (Tinubu’s) brainchild.”

. The Lagos Gubernatorial Era: Laying the Spatial Foundation (2002–2006)

Long before the refinery was conceptualised, Tinubu designed the physical and legal economic zone that would eventually host it.

Conception of the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ): In the early 2000s, Tinubu’s administration envisioned transforming the swampy peninsula of Lekki into an industrial, tax-free powerhouse. He initiated the master plan and established the Lekki Free Zone in partnership with Chinese consortiums and local stakeholders.

The Regulatory Blueprint: Tinubu instituted the local tax holidays, tariff exemptions, and free-zone legislation under Lagos State law. This institutional framework is exactly what made the land uniquely attractive to heavy industries decades later. Without his early push to turn Lekki into an autonomous economic oasis, the geographic destination for the refinery would not have existed when Dangote’s initial Olokola plans fell through.

The person that carved out Lagos nko?

We should give him credit.

What about the descendants of the Ibeju people? We no go acknowledge them?

You people just want to wipe off all what Fashola has done so Tinubu will rule. Chai!

raumdeuter:
Bring the best intentioned western politician to an unstructured environment like Africa and watch them become ineffective

Fashola didn't have to work with an antagonistic FG who was ready to deploy federal power against you

As soon as OBJ left, Yaradua released all the withheld funds which gave the fashola admin a huge lift

All these Free Trade Zone and Dangote refinery had their origin in Tinubu admin

Dangote Refinery had its origin in Tinubu's admin

I first think say na Hay Hi

No be AI

I hope he doesn't invite current politicians of any kind, whether opposition or incumbent

Make dem no spoil the show for us

Realmrsean:
what he said is the truth.
If you re not capable of unleashing violence, you re not peaceful, you re harmless.

There is what Americans call peace through strength..

So far, obi has not shown he has that violent side in him

Thank you for proving my point, and being my first witness.

IsBaeU actually invited Obasanjo to his show?

Wow!

The guy dey try oh

afrodoc:
Hehehe.

I remember when I was doing some extra work in one private hospital. The head of the security there used to siphon hospital diesel to sell privately, leaving the doctors to carry out medical procedures with rechargeable lamp.

Or the staff at the blood bank of a major hospital I worked in that used to sell off the blood privately on the black market while hospital patients were begging to get blood for much needed transfusion.

Who do they sell the blood to?

Chineke Nna!

afrodoc2:
You don convert finally. Hehehe.

I have, my Doc

I have!

TemporaryHansel:
It's really unfortunate.

It is a whole lot.

From the government, to citizens to everybody

GloriousGbola:
I hope it is not the same obidients that physically attacked LP executives for following the responsible process in court and celebrated the violence on social media that we are now rebranding as responsible human beings?

I have just told you that all these are animalistic behaviors

If you see any of it, irrespective of party, and you feel okay about it, it's Nigeria that is rewiring your brain.

You see a politician carrying his luggage at the airport and you say he is pretending. That's Nigeria working on your thinking. Because ideally, isn't that a normal thing to do?

You see a politician moving with 53 cars and you praise him as powerful. Is that normal?

One has to gradually unlearn some behaviors, to be honest

GloriousGbola:
Let him run in 2031 against obi and we will see the same obidient movement rebrand and smear him as a boy boy if we are all still alive to see it

2031 is for the North nau.

What will Fashola be running there for?

He has no chance of running under the APC in the foreseeable future. The next APC Southern candidate would probably be a SS

GloriousGbola:
fashola for president 2035 !
as his record is being compared to obis
must be the unique brew obi has fed them with

We both know that after Jakande, Fashola transformed Lagos.

But because of Tinubu, we attributed everything to him.

Fashola is a GOAT

GloriousGbola:
you who drives commercial on nigerias roads and faces all sorts of bullying and harassment from police, security, thugs , local govt know that there is a time and place for matching agro for agro and refusing to be intimidated.

as daddy trump is trying to bully iran, are they crying to un or are they returning fire for fire?


as an aside

fashola for president 2035 !
as his record is being compared to obis
must be the unique brew obi has fed them with

We are talking about a campaign, not US/Iran War

Someone comes to attack and intimidate you. You choose to avoid violence and go home. People say you are weak.

Chief, that's what Nigeria can do.

Most of what we call smart, strong and clever are just animalistic behaviors, courtesy of decades of rewiring and reprogramming of our minds by Nigeria itself.

And I'm not saying this to just people who support APC. If you see a responsible act, and calling it "Weak", na Nigeria dey speak through you

GloriousGbola:
so obidients are now andrew liver-less salt?
and chief red cap geng are the real men in the relationship?
not surprising given the lead obidient is a high pitched voice story teller

Your thought is how Nigeria has battered our behavior.

The one who refuses violence is not a "Real Man"

The one that causes mayhem is who is real and should be voted for.

My Chief, Na Nigeria do this thing oh

Watching the NDC/APC clash in Uvwie, Delta state and I can tell you for free say na Kwankwassiya movement ginger the defense

Left for the Obedients, dem for go house go cry, and make thousands of videos calling on ICPC, Donald Trump, and Sango to come and see.

Kwankwassiya said NO. When I see that guy wey wear the cap carry pipe, I know say everybody don agree for the market price. Na who go first pay remain

PapalsBull:
Good morning, Izzou.

I'd like to be in a sober mood, please

So the "I have never met Abacha", and "We went to meet Abacha" is another manipulated video.

The real one and long version don show oh.

No be wetin him talk there

BlueRayDick:
But who shared the initial fake post on twitter before it went Viral?

It's funny how Bayo Onanuga who owned PM news at the time didn't debunk the fake news because it favours his current principal. So It took Ojudu who was the Editor and not particularly pro-Tinubu today to come out to debunk the fake news. Na wa o!

Indeed All is fair in politics and war according to Master strategist.

You dey mind them?

I am hoping the ones here can be noble enough to mock FFK

Or at least, mock themselves for listening and joining hands with an veteran in wereyology

ouzo1:
Baba u be Noob saibot....

The Ex-Onye Ara is actually part of their political family

A person they listen to
A Reasonable leader

Make dem use that one hold body

Support Peter Obi ooo, e get why.. Evidence choke..If you say na pretence, how can one man pretend for so long?

A Liar and a Pretender

Can we get the bank details of these pensioners to verify?

CrystalTiger:
Izzou look all there struggle with propaganda during the day and decided to take it away at night when they thought they'd won.. Zero sympathy..

Now they have to start all over again and it's weekend already..

Roland17:
For me, it is the irony of the person involved in the original headline.

Imagine mocking someone for being delivered from "Tubi-Tubi"

Only to discover that the person is part of your political family

I wish them peace; the one that Our Lord giveth

Editor in Chief don clear the air.

reccy:
Green energy for this country It's alright

Yes, Green energy.

China is making it affordable. I heard that by 2030, some countries in Europe won't be using Diesel vehicles anymore.

Green energy will grow exponentially faster than CNG.

reccy:
CNG is not a scam maybe you're not seeing the results where you are but here in my state, it's helping a lot of people especially drivers. In addition to the ones we have in Okene, some prominent people are planning of building additional station to reduce the stresses and the waits encounter due to much demands.

We have NNPC and shafa in lokoja already and so many more planned across the state.

It's about time before it alternate fuel totally.

You no even talk Green energy, na outdated source called CNG you dey talk.

GloriousGbola:


Shafa energy is building at least six cng stations

MRS plans to build like 40
Nnpc is rolling out in multiple sites

If you want to call it scam, feel free to do so

The biggest pointer is that the same dangote has all his new trucks cng ready.

The network is being built while Theflint1 is distracted and mesmerised by flyover and the Lamba of saint obi.

The infrastructure is still minute. People should not have been manipulated to convert, when the structure has not been in place.

You need to see the queue I just passed at NIPCO at Benin. Waste of productive time in the name of saving cash

As for Dangote, his CNG plant is in his premises. He is not queuing with Segedinho to buy CNG

Even before Dangote entered oil and gas, his truck do not buy Diesel anywhere. The company will give you the required gas from Lagos to Sokoto and back without giving you cash to buy.

Dangote can use electric trucks sef. He has the infrastructure for himself

People wey convert their cars to CNG are just suffering

Because you want to save 800 naira, you will spend 5 hours to buy gas.

Your counterparts using Petrol must have made his money back, while you're at the gas station listening to Radio and waiting your turn.

Nonsense!

BlueRayDick:
No. The link will lead you to a page that looks like normal FRSC portal and you will see a field for you to input your plate number to check if indeed you violated any traffic rule.

What I think they did is they cloned FRSC website and already programmed their cloned site to confirm you violated traffic rule (Whether you enter your correct plate number or not, the result of your query will always be that you violated). So they expect you to proceed to input your card details to pay the N5,000 or N3,000 fine as penalty for your offence.

Hmmmm.. A smart move.

Na only to think evil we sabi for this country

https://www.nairaland.com/8749575/fg-brought-chinese-traders-destroy

I personally believe that there could be a group sponsoring tribalism and all this foolery in Nigeria.

Because even people who you think are exposed, and educated would speak like someone who hasn't seen electricity in their life.

BlueRayDick:
Less than 12 hours after posting this, I saw post below on Twitter by one of their victims.

As I suspected, the paltry fine of ₦5,000 or ₦3,000 is not the target of the scammers but the card details of victims which they will use to wipe victims' bank accounts.

But with the way technology is now advanced, I don't think banks should be telling victims there's nothing they can do about it. Banks should be able to trace and track funds that is still within Nigerian banking system. Haba!

Does the link come with your number plates?

Wetin dey happen here?
