Everybody just dey use Kano Traditional institution play politics.

Whenever you encounter APC supporters, do well to curse them.
You will be helping this country in a little way

This guy?

Idiot APC supporters

Good, so you see we are back to your first goal post. And according to you, if I come to you now and say JAWBONE would you like to have this keke napep, and you say yes because that is all I offered, then you had no choice. Does that mean you didn't consent? Consent is not about being offered a multitude of choices. It is about not being under compulsion to choose even the solitary option before you. No was always an answer even if that meant having to fend for themselves. By the way the money for these marriages is not even coming from the State. According to the speaker, it was from a donation from an individual.

Secondly, these 100 girls are not the full set of girls who were considered. A list of 270 names was submitted and the speaker said these were ones chosen. So you don't even have the full picture but you are insisting because you have already concluded and now you want to make the evidence fit your conclusion. Just like I said of the minister, why can't you dig for facts from the other side?

PROGRESS!!!

You are more likely to get justice from the Italian Mafia than the Nigerian Judiciary.

Just so you know, Yahaya Bello's wife was recently dropped for consideration for a High Court position.

Monkey Banana Judiciary.

Since Tinubu won.
Reno has changed his Baban Riga to Agbada, started wearing Fila instead of Hausa Cap and has been glazing the Penis of Yoruba people.

He has also increased his anti-Igbo agenda.

A dog that needs to be thrown a bone.

That is what that clown called Omokri is.

And I maintained that those girls were married because of their plight. Taking advantage of someone's situation is not offering them an option.
The Speaker said they were married off to alleviate poverty. I have a problem with that statement.
If the State cannot think of any other option to help orphaned children than marrying them off

SmartyPants:
Of course, you've shifted the goalposts. First, it was they were not consenting, now it is they are consenting because they were not given other options. As if women where you come from don't equally consent to marriage out of poverty. All this hypocrisy will take us nowhere.

They were not consenting if marriage was the only option they were given and not what they chose.

The possibility of 100 girls all deciding to marry at the same time is debatable.

It seems the decision to marry was taken on behalf of them and they had no options than to play along.

SmartyPants:
All this shifting of goalposts by asking jamb questions makes no sense. These are adults, not kids.

Adults make all sorts of decisions every day. Do you go to peoples' weddings to ask all those jamb questions?? The essence of being a consenting adult is that you are entitled to your own reasons for choosing marriage, whether as a poverty alleviation scheme as is common all over Nigeria, or for any other reason. Are they of full mental capacity? Did they consent? If yes, mind your business instead of inventing false reports.

There is no shifting goal posts.
The girls are being married simply because they are orphans.
If the speaker had relatives among those orphans, he would not allowed them to be married that way.

In Kano, their Hisbah commission married off some people months ago and nobody cared.
This case looks more like an auction than a marriage

SmartyPants:
I have clearly stated that the speaker said the girls consented to the marriages. It is not for you miles away to declare an alternate reality when you have no such facts. And that makes the minister's conduct all the more difficult to understand because if anyone is in a position to get the true facts, she is! Minna is a 2-hour drive from Abuja, so if she had sincere concerns, I would expect that she or members of her team would have been on the ground to satisfy themselves that the whole episode is being conducted in line with the principles of human rights enshrined in our Constitution. Having failed to do so, she had absolutely no reason for filing her suit and you have absolutely no reason to allege that there is a lack of consent involved in the marriages.

The girls consented to the marriage because that is the only option that was thrown in their face. That is not consent.
100 orphaned girls were individually interviewed and they all agreed to marriage because that is what the speaker told them they would do for them.

Were they given other options? I don't think so.
Also have they met these men previously and discussed marriage with them?
What about pre-marriage medical checkups? Are the men financially capable of marrying them?
or would they just be auctioned off to the men on the day of marriage.
What is the level of education of the girls?
Many questions must be asked before you throw them into something as serious as marriage.
The Speaker said he was marrying them off to alleviate their poverty.
That is a very stupid reason to give. Their are many other ways to help them alleviate poverty

SmartyPants:
The speaker has come out to clarify the situation. I wonder, by the way, whether you heard from any of the ladies before you swallowed the initial story hook line and sinker. Did you? Even the original report did not as much as quote any of the girls, which is just the basics of good journalism. So how did you believe them? Learn to be fair and reasonable.

Let the girls speak for themselves. They are not commodities to be bought and sold.
If they are adults already, it still doesn't mean they want to be married.
Marriage is between two CONSENTING ADULTS.

Also their plights as orphans should not be the factor for their marriage. Throw them into homes where they would become glorified sex slaves and child bearing machines.
If the girls do not have an education or a vocation, that should be paramount.
Unless the girls themselves decide that marriage is all they want, they should be given the freedom to choose their path in life.

Ijaya123:
Good. Until binance pau every fine imposed on it by the government.

What fine?
What is the Nigerian Government charging fine for?

Okpebholo go and debate and share your ideas.
Stop all this agenda that appeals to emotion.

You have been calling Asue Ighodalo Lagos bobo, that he is from Yoruba Land.

Asue is an Ewohimi man from Edo State.

Just like APC at the Federal Level is known for instigating tribal and religious sentiments, Okpebholo campaign has purely being emotional sentiments without ideas.

I'm starting to think the APC candidate is not a very brilliant man so he has chosen to tow the path of character assassination and bigotry.

Obaseki is not on the ballot!!!

Your competition is Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpata.
Go and debate them.

Let us start with
Seyi Tinubu $11m mansion in London
Zainab Tinubu's house in New York
Or is it Tinubu's house in properties in France

is this a thread to Demarket Benin city? The last time i checked, house rent is costlier in Lagos, Ibadan and port harcourt as compared to Benin city. You can still get 2 bedroom flat for four hundred to five hundred thousand In most part of Benin city. It is not the same in the other cities, the price of foodstuff is at most the same with these four cities with most products even higher in Lagos and port harcourt. So don’t make this about Benin city, compare kaduna and port harcourt. And see it is even higher. It is about northern cities and southern cities

400 to 500k for two bed and you say it's cheaper than Ibadan. Lol
First of all, bag of pure water in Ibadan is 300 naira
400 to 500k will get you a decent 3 bedroom flat in the centre of Ibadan.
Cup of rice is 250 to 300 here.
I have lived in Benin and Ibadan so I can tell which one is cheaper

What was his offence?
The term gross misconduct has been abused so much by power drunk politicians. What did he actually do to warrant suspension?
I think people should be able to contest decisions like this in court.
That is how the corrupt Senate President Akpabio suspended Senator Ningi for exposing the rot in the Senate.

ZIAZI:
They said Wike is politically done and I laugh!

These men are resigning because they believe in Wike. He is not a saint, but he has the capacity to deliver and he has done so over and over again. It was this same capacity that made Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwaso, and Obi visit him to leverage his structure in Rivers State. The facts are there!

Wike is a big fish in Nigerian politics and today in Rivers state, he controls 90% of those at the grassroots.

Stop getting carried away by structure of criminality.

Nigeria is not a movie, politicians are not there to entertain you. This is real life.
I know a lot of you Nigerians are attracted to corrupt personalities like Wike because they represent what you are.
Egotists with a love for showmanship without substance

fkelly:
In Benin 1bag 500-600. 1 sachet is #50

Why are things always expensive in Benin?
Is Edo State operating a different economy?
From house rent to food to transport, Benin is always more expensive than the rest of the country even Lagos

franchasofficia:
Tinubu just rewarded political criminals, treasury looters and armed robbers with political appointments for their criminal roles in his stolen mandate

God bless you because Tinubu himself is the grand Patron of political criminals

Putindbutt:
I thought Bitter Obi was a boy but this mumu Fubara takes the flowers. All these his stupid talks about the past government and probing the past government, pls can someone remind him that he was the Accountant general of the same past government.
Pls also remind him that it was Wike that shielded him when EFCC came for him for about 70billion fraud. Fubara is like a goat using oil to rub his body near a fire.

Agbado clown who will defend their slave masters to death.
Fubara could not have laundered 456 billion Naira without the knowledge of Wike. Fubara did that for Wike and Wike rewarded him with governorship ticket.
I know you Tinubu zombies will rise to defend Wike despite how corrupt he is. I’m not surprised, Tinubu is the grandfather of corruption in Nigeria. Wike is now the favorite child of the Bourdillon bullion van looter because he helped him rig election

Congratulations

SadiqBabaSani:
they should accept Naira anywhere in the world and deposit same into a Nigerian account

Where would the Nigerians in the US get Naira to transact with the Nigerian Embassy in US.
You people overestimate the importance of Nigeria.

Your Naira is a shit currency, even your leaders don't want to hold Naira.

Tinubu and his family own properties and assets in UK, France, US.
The Deputy Governor of Lagos has a US passport.

All these drama from EFCC and CBN is simply looking for someone else to blame when the problem is in front of them

jahsharon:
Post your biological father's CV here, let's see if he is qualified so that we can forward it to the President to replace the current appointee with him

My father has more honour than to work for a drug baron and a thief

I'm pretty sure this Chukwuemeka guy has zero clue on what to do as Director of Ogun-Osun river basin.

He probably has not even been to the river basin all his life or will even make attempt to research the area but politics has brought him where he will cash-out for the next 3 years

CommonSense1967:
The positive impact of the Lagos Calabar coastal road on the Nigerian economy will be huge and generational.
I have tried to explain to some why this is a brainer but they seem bent on looking at it from a political and sentimental perspective.
Even if Obi was President and he proposed this road, I would have supported it with everything I have.

Nigeria has a long coastline and most are not been used to their full potential. Imagine how many beaches will open up from Lagos to Calabar, imagine world-class hotels, imagine the potential for resorts in many areas.


Look at it from the potential benefits instead of the potential delays and costs.

Projects of this magnitude will experience delays, cost overruns, and many other problems. But we must still start it and plan for potential hiccups as we go along. No matter how ell you plan there will be issues but that is not enough reason to back away form it.

Tinubu deploying his propaganda machinery to deceive Nigerians about a project that is not needed at this point in time but is simply a conduit pipe to siphon government funds to him and his cronies

The day someone like El-Rufai will be close to power or actually be in power, we will see the huge revelations of Tinubu's heist in Lagos
