ChristineC: you can be gay in peace, nobody really cares to know. however, the law that govern the spaces these movies are trying to premiere bans or doesn't allow such public displays of banal depravity and being an 11th world country have nothing to do with it. you are quick to reference development but developed societies implement their laws to the T.
you cannot chop and choose when these applications should hold. you may not agree with the law but that's an entirely different conversation. if you don't like the law, find a way to change it but until then the government is interpreting this law of the space called Nigeria accurately.
Fair point. They're implementing the law. Laws that need to be interrogated, but laws all the same. Fair point.
SixSeven: This is another variation of eating corn but Obi knows he has to capture more votes in the North, he has started eating food. One of the things that resonate with the talakawa in the North is if you are down to earth like them. It's not bad advice if you think about the politics of it.
In Northern Nigeria, it has strong political history. Leaders like Malam Aminu Kano used it to describe a movement that fights for the rights of ordinary, marginalized citizens. Traditional and religious teachings in Hausa culture often emphasize helping and protecting the talakawa. Masses believe a leader who eats, dresses, and lives simply genuinely understands their daily struggles with poverty, inflation, and lack of basic infrastructure. Historically, Northern Nigerian masses were heavily subjugated by traditional feudal systems and elite political syndicates. A politician who rejects elite luxury is seen as a liberator standing up to oppressive rulers. Flashy wealth in politics is widely associated with stolen public funds. A modest lifestyle serves as proof that the leader is not using public office for personal enrichment.
Balewa was also loved for this. He was a simple man and I will attach that picture of him enjoying himself with children during his leave. In modern time, people like Kwankwaso have used it to their advantage. Even when Yar'Adua was president, the people loved him for his simple life and you can still see the video of him praying and behaving like the ordinary person. Don't forget Yar'Adua introduced the servant leader ideology when he became president. So am I surprised Obi has been given the recipe since that's what he does normally?
Whoever is advising Obi is smart about it. If you did not watch those videos, just know that the Talakawa deeply admire individuals who possess kaskan da kai (profound humility) and mutunci (respect for human dignity). They value leaders who reject flashy luxury to live, dress, and eat simply among the people. They look for gaskiya (absolute honesty) and a total lack of personal greed, trusting those who refuse to use their position or wealth to look down on the less fortunate. These people are not dumb. You can't give what you don't have. So I do not think you can fake it.
Benin–Agbor Road has descended into a major traffic nightmare, with travellers and motorists reportedly stranded for hours — and some even spending the night on the road.
As the gridlock worsens, damaged and muddy sections of the highway, poor drainage and ongoing reconstruction are making movement increasingly difficult, sparking protests and growing public anger.
Now, Minister of Works David Umahi is set to storm the Benin–Agbor–Asaba Road today for an inspection, amid mounting pressure on the Federal Government to address the worsening situation.
What is behind the crisis? Why has the rehabilitation dragged on? And can Umahi’s intervention finally bring relief to stranded travellers?
Mr Umahi ought to mobilize Julius Berger or whoever to that place to carry out palliative measures where needed to bring immediate relief. After that, find a long-term solution.
Mary95: This is over crowding man . The 3000 is too much for that size of pond. That place should take more than 500 fishes. And feeding 3-4 times a day is over feeding which isn't good for them.
Fishes are fed once a day. Infact,when they get to certain stage,no more feeding.
Huh? They'll be swallowing only vibes, water and germs?
We don't pay for everything we do in dollars, so take that nonsense away.
Many of these projects are being paid for in Naira to indigenous contractors.
ALSO, in addition to the standard monthly allocation, the FG distributed a special ₦435 billion infrastructure and security intervention fund to state governments during the first half of 2026 alone to support state projects.
The vastly increased number and scale of infrastructural projects in all the states is clear evidence of VASTLY INCREASED allocation from Abuja, so go and sit down with this your fake calculation. The FG is PUMPING the states with money to build up their infrastructure.
He's not talking about spending in dollar terms. He's talking about the value of the money. He's using dollars to tell you what 4.5 b can buy then and 16 b can buy now.
RandDigital: The comment immediately split opinions online, with many South Africans feeling that Ngesi was out of touch with the realities on the ground.
I don't see any "split" opinion there. All those that responded agree with the treatment meted out to her and expressed their burning hate for her. Pity she doesn't get the message. I hope they're all alright in the end.
Zonefree: Reminds me of 2015 Bayelsa rerun Election. Boat spoil for middle of nowhere, when we're heading to Foropa, SILGA. Na so female corp members begin burst cry
Their crying increased when the Naval officers came and collect the sensitive materials and told us "God be with you".
Lol. Navy no help una? How did you guys finally leave the place?

Bluntemperor: But CCTV is good but they should Employ -Private Security Firms to be monitoring govt Properties on continuous basis! This is How it is done Abroad!
Like we have Tantita protecting oil infrastructure. These things cost money. Part of why there isn't enough left for development. Well, I guess they don't have a choice, as our people get strong head.
Oxb90: I have no time to read all these damage control. The man in discussion used to a journalist I used to respect because of his vast knowledge about Nigeria politics. Then he used to be unbiased. Now he is partisan.
Mr Kolade-Otitoju is biased, yes. But where does this narrative that he worked against Mr Adeleke or predicted his loss come from? It's not remotely true.
Mrexcell: So will she commit suicide if the south african courts rule to deport her because she can't survive anywhere else?
Going to court to fight for her right to stay at a place she calls home is the right thing to do. If she loses, she will reconsider her options and move to a, hopefully, more welcoming place.
Do you know what "rights" are? Does the rule of law mean anything to you?
emapeteum: Is same principle apply to foreigners or even Nigerians born outside their state of origin?Nigerian s with double standards is like bread and butter.
Oxb90: You no get home? Admitted, it's not going be easy considering how Nigerian politicians have successfully made life very unbearable to it's citizens. But I still dey beg you come back to Nigeria make you dey manage with us, I no wan see your body bags.
Speaking generally, nothing that is happening in Nigeria justifies the madness of some Nigerians forcing themselves on South Africa. SA has big problems too.
You were chased away from representing them in miss world. They didn't hide their disdain for you
Nigeria accepted you wholeheartedly and you did well during the competition.
Why go back to same people that have not hidden their hatred for you.
Even if you win the case in court and they say you are their citizen, would you be free from the locals and their attacks, most esp as their govt plays the ostrich
Nigeria has great opportunities for you, despite our pressing challenges. If you do not want to stay in Nigeria, you can easily relocate.
Well except the safety of your life doesn't mean much to you.
I understand your sentiments, but I can't blame her. That's the only home she knows. Some people find it hard to relocate.
[WATCH] "I believe I have been treated unfairly and targeted and there has been an attempt to make me an example," Chidimma Adetshina tells journalists after the Cape Town Regional Court postponed her case in which she challenges her potential deportation and detention.… pic.twitter.com/EHCzO6Ke1f
Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, deportation judgment has been postponed to 27 February 2027. She spoke on Wednesday following court proceedings.
"I would like to say that I am grateful that I once again have been able to get an opportunity to have my faith in our courts. And I remind everyone that I was born in South Africa. I have applied through the proper legal channels to have my status and citizenship determined. I believe that I have been treated unfairly and targeted, and there has been an attempt to make me as an example. But my message is not going to be one out of anger.
South Africa is governed by the rule of law, and we should not allow xenophobia and misinformation to determine how people are going to be treated. We should all be guided by the spirit of Ubuntu.
Throughout this ordeal, I have availed myself of all appropriate legal recourse, and I'll continue to respect and abide by each process. Finally, I would like to thank my family, friends, supporters, and my legal representatives for their unwavering support and commitment to my case. Thank you.
The Chidinmas of this world are the real victims of xenophobia. Can't say I buy the japa madness and I have very little simpathy for those who use their legs to go to South Africa and stay in a place they aren't welcome.
But you see the Chidinmas? Victims. She was born there. She's South African in every way. She's a citizen. At least, she ought to be. But because Africans only recongise "tribe" and not citizenship, here we are.
I saw a guy like her on TV the other day. He was born there and was studying chemical engineering at a university in Joburg. But he's been plucked out and separated from his beloved home and all he knew. He's now doing the round of all the unis in the SW trying to find any that'll allow him to continue his studies where he's at. But Unilag and co and saying no way - he has to write UTME and start from scratch.
Or have I watched too much animes and Japanese movies
It is meant to be one on one… Like one brother comes forward and faces him while the others watch… and if he defeats him, another brother comes.. That’s how to fight with honor, not this cowardice
What if the guy goes back and gather his own brothers or kinsmen, that’s how community riot starts..
One to One, man to man…. Not mob action
I'm with you on this one. In the old days, this sort of thing was settled with duel between the colleague beater and he lady's strongest brother.
Mattswaggz: So you want to deny what even those bankrolling them are saying?....you want to deny the gross corruption and money laundering going on in Ukraine right now or what?. .
Mattswaggz: "Begged and begged" while trying to join NATO and shelling the donbas region despite several warnings from Russia.....try another propaganda line...this one is stale.
Show one piece of evidence of an application Zelenskyy sent to Nato for membership. And evidence that Nato was admitting Ukraine. So the Donbass, which is a part of Ukraine, being sent troops to quell disturbances is your problem. Carry on.
