The polarisation in Nigeria today has made people refuse to see the benefits and achievements of the various political candidates. Each side believes in bringing down or belittling the achievements of the other candidate.

Was Mr Obi perfect? No. Did he achieve credible results? The evidence says so.

Not every voter belongs to a political party. There are still some who are paying close attention to the dynamics with an intention to pick a side when the time comes.

So rather than attack the person like I see some do here, discuss their failed policies instead. But again, Nigerian politics is an anomaly.

Gotta hand it to him… He’s an intelligent man.

Whichever position you choose to go for, just be careful because Nigerians will be paying closer attention to their votes.

If the polling unit becomes hostile, leave ballot box and save your head first. Nothing is worth your life, if you die Nigeria will move on.

Any geologist in the house? I’d like to know the name of this stone cos mesef for collect am if I be girl

The more I’ve watched Davido over time, the more I realise that he suffers from sever low esteem. Which is crazy, considering his background.

He seems to always want to be the centre of attention, seeking online validation for everything he does. Erigga’s initial post was harmless but somehow Davido made it about himself.

He consistently picks a fight with everyone in the industry and turns around to say they hate him. Apart from Wizkid and Burna, he recently had issues with Wande Coal, now it’s Erigga. Who’s next?

RIP to the deceased. Sadly he wasn’t able to carry out a population census before passing on.

To think of it, Buhari was going to do a national census. What’s stopping Tinubu from completing it?

Op, you didn’t provide a source.

Vandalism has always been a part of the subculture in Nigeria’s society, alongside bad maintenance.

My solution? Increase the punishment, to as close to that of murder as possible, because that is what will happen if the structural integrity of the bridge is compromised and it collapses.

Has he become Miss Timaya?

A real miss indeed.

It’ll be difficult to doubt this guy cos he has moved around Nigeria quite a bit.

Sadly, it doesn’t look like the “politics problem” is going away anytime soon.

Still can’t reply you or send my number.

Anyone interested in co-authoring a time series or panel data research publication should DM me, let's hit it.

I’ve sent a DM. You can reply so we connect with other authors here and get to work.

They keep breaking up and getting back together.

This is quite informative but the problem is most Nigerians don't read, and are careless with things. Case in point is the response above.

In life you can never be too careful. Avoid problems at all costs and if your values do not align with what is being posted in a group, kindly exit it.

Avoid police wahala, protect your mental health, protect your future.

I believe the Diocese. Nigeria has too many bureaucratic bottlenecks that hinder efficiency from top to bottom.

Don't be surprised that the person tasked with delivering that message still has it on a table somewhere.

Akpabio breaks 59-year-old jinx, elected into Global Executive Committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Union 

The President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Leader of Nigeria's delegation to the 147th Inter-Parliamentary Union General Assembly in Luanda, Angola has broken a 59 year old jinx by being elected into the Executive Committee of the global parliamentary body.

The last time Nigeria was elected into the Executive Committee of the Parliamentary Union was in 1964.

The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) is the global organization of national parliaments founded in 1889, and dedicated to promoting peace through parliamentary diplomacy and dialogue. 

It has grown over its 135 years into a truly global organization with 179 country members out of 193 countries in the world. The IPU facilitates parliamentary diplomacy and empowers parliaments and parliamentarians to promote peace, democracy and sustainable development around the world.

A statement by the Special Assistant (Media/Communication) to the Senate President, Anietie Ekong said Senator Akpabio was overwhelmingly voted for by delegates across the world to emerge as an Executive Committee member of the Parliamentary Union with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland for a three year mandate

The 147th IPU Assembly was held in Luanda, Angola, from 21st to 27th October 2023 and hosted by the National Assembly of Angola.

The Union in the week long Assembly deliberated upon important issues affecting nations across the world and considered actions to strengthen trust between people and governance structures, to make public institutions more effective, accountable and representative, and to better equip parliaments to address the multiple interconnected geopolitical, economic and environmental crises facing the world.

Everyone who follows the industry knows this.

Ever wondered why the actresses are seemingly wealthy while the actors are struggling? Nollywood na scam.

The acting makes little, endorsements and "other things" make the rest.

It was doing well until Elon decided to change strategy.

First he renamed Twitter to X, then he started paying Ad revenue to content creators. Elon knows what competition is, and innovated.

Thread was never going to be as big as X cos it's an offshoot of Instagram, and is still closely linked to it. No Thread account without an Instagram account so it's not unique.

Mark would have to innovate if Thread hopes to catch-up with X.

It's almost as if after BUA declared a price reduction, their cement has become unavailable.

The problem seems to be less than enough supply to meet the rising demand, so sellers are hoarding for their personal use or something. Who nor like better thing?

They should just increase their supply cos it doesn't seem like Dangote and others are willing to bring their prices down anytime soon.

Finally these guys will get paid after the payment providers cornered the funds for months. Money that was already available.

Truth is, most Nigerians have a tendency towards fraud but they just haven't had the opportunity yet.

But was the name change necessary?

It's a recurring theme.

Even Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got a divorce within 2 years, despite dating for over 10 years and having kids.

Don't ask me the moral of the story, I don't know.

This is an interesting piece.

I understand Algeria will kick Israel out of an AU summit for geopolitical reasons, but you have to commend South Africa for standing up.

However, it was all about politics for the AU. The AU recognises that Israel has been on a recent path of building relationships so that it can become the major player in middle-eastern politics, and it didn't want to be left behind.

The current war with Hamas will take Israel several steps backward in its quest for regional socio-politico-economic dominance. Hamas knows this, and they had to act now to create a distraction. Even the proposed agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel has been placed on hold.

This was what I was referring to on another thread and some people were throwing insults like the illiterates they are.

Israel left themselves too open this time. And it wasn't on purpose, like I've seen some people insinuating. No responsible government wants to see its citizens die this way, if they can do something about it.

Hamas knows this, and will hang on to those kidnapped Israelis as leverage.

Man is going on a well deserved rest. No way he was rushing back to receive another round of shege that Nigerians are currently witnessing, after what he has seen for the last couple of years.

In a few months when he's back, he'll be looking like one young bobo. Make money oo.

As a man, I know I've delivered well when she immediately falls asleep after the do.

It doesn't matter whether I fall asleep too, she needs to fall asleep first.

Even women will tell you by themselves that they're complicated. If you like do transfer every second, if she wants to be complicated, she'll still be.

Woman wen dey easily get mood swings for anything.

TenQ:
It is a pity that this conflict doesn't have a solution.

1. To the Israelis,
Israel is their ancestral land and they have come to repossess it.

2. To the Palestinians,
a. It is a religious war and Israel must leave the land or be exterminated
b. They have no other place they can call home apart from this place.
c. Allah had promised a final battle where the Muslims will defeat and kill all the Jews and even the trees and rocks will aid Muslims to fight the Jews

This is why till the end of the world, there won't be peace in Israel.

In fact according to Bible prophecies, the only one who can guarantee peace is the Antichrist and the peace would be cancelled by the same antichrist.

You, sir, have said it all.

Soon, there'll be a ceasefire in the current phase. Only for another conflict to start in the West Bank or elsewhere in a couple of months. Just an endless cycle openly sponsored by Iran.

Major1984:
you must be Nigerian Muslim living in the north, Israel will bomb and clear Gaza before this week runs out

No sir, I'm not.

Even though both parties fundamentally have different religions, this is a land dispute. Israel might defeat Hamas but the Palestinians won't leave their lands.

Everything mustn't be about religion.

Let's see how your prediction goes.
