Thank God they have presidential helicopter now. Back in 2000 when they had their great flood, it was the South African Airforce that deployed every air asset that was used for rescue in the country. Mozambique could not deploy even one.
odinga1of: Failed Governor? Same person PBAT is fronting so that Seyi Tinubu can take over
Yeah, failed governor – who abandoned the rail project and could not even evacuate refuse. What does PBAT care? He just wants his son to take over, right.
anonimi: So what made Tinubu lead other Yorubas to reelect the clueless and corrupt clown in 2019
I thought we were talking about OBJ's son endorsing Buhari in 2019 (Someone said he must have regretted after 2023, to which I expressed the opinion that anyone that endorsed Buhari in 2019 and turned against him after 2023 couldn't have been a very bright person, because Buhari's first term was a disaster for all to see). You Tribal Warriors FC of Nairaland can't ever help yourselves.
fergie001: Osborn Umahi, son of the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi has picked the APC LGA Chairmanship form for Ohaozara LGA in Ebonyi State.
Supporters stormed the APC Secretariat when he picked the form pegged at ₦30 million. Osborn was his father'ntss campaign director in the 2019 Guber election.
He has also been endorsed by the Governor, Francis Nwifuru.
TruthHurts1: Wow! So Yorubas used to be at the forefront of championing meritocracy in Nigeria?
Judging by the timeline, many of those students would be the ones running Nigeria today, but instead of promoting meritocracy, they are tolerating it and some of them are even celebrating it while it destroys meaningful progress in Nigeria.
Edit: Like many of you, it came as a surprise that Igbo students would have voted in support of quota system.
Then I sat back and reflected and I realised a possible reason why the Igbo students supported quota systems was because of the large loss of young Igbo lives during the Nigerian Civil War. Remember that this took place in 1970 which is the same year that the Nigerian Civil War came to an end.
Igbo students may have felt that quota system would have saved them from being numerically disadvantaged in student admissions because so many young Igbos lost their lives in the war.
WizardOfNG: Assuming the narration is even the real and factual experience of a human being.
The issue is that most of us, because we are not in the category, don't understand the volume of warped mischief-makers out their online telling lies, spreading fake news and fabricating lies out of thin air in an attempt to work an angle or seek followers/likes/retweets etc
Every so called "real life narrative" online should be taking with a pinch of salt. If true though, then the guy is indeed an irritating nag. You'd have thought it's a 12 year old writing from his tone.
Yeah, Nigeria and Nigerians wonderful. The things he wrote are not very real. Great people great nation.
helinues: Atiku gave filmsy excuse on why his son defect to APC.
It doesn't speak good of him as a leader. And to those talking about being a mole, how relevant is Abba in his polling unit without his dad's influence?
You people need to stop overcomplicating it. The younger Mr Abubakar's defection is not about some ideology. It's not about Atiku's deficiency in leadership skills. It's not about Tinubu's genius at governance.
It's because he believes Atiku cannot defeat Tinubu.
And that's my belief too. Even a kid six can predict that Atiku Abubakar (once described as "Jimi Agbaje of Abuja" ) will not win.
jamesversion: Those pictures speak more than a thousand words.
Imagine!!!
How? I recently saw a Cele prophet with very long finger nails in Lagos. Some have tattoos. Even in the Bible, some prophets had overlong hair and over long beards and everything.
Samantha125: While their ancestors came to Africa centuries ago and started enforcing Christianity on native Africans by conditioning them into detesting and demeaning their African spirituality as they considered it to be barbaric and demonic, we've now seen some of their descendants over the years slowly abandoning the same Christian religion to be practicing African spirituality here in South Africa... Some have even opened up about how their main aim is to share the African faith with the entire world.
Without going any further, here are white South African sangomas.
ReekyMass: Trust me, I've never seen him as a Step brother. I don't even know the difference between a blood brother and step. We were birthed by same woman, so I don't discriminate. I treat him like my other siblings and I even try to do more for him, so he wouldn't be thinking it's because he's not our blood that's why I don't care about him. God sees my heart
That's half brother, not step brother. Step brother is the child of your mom's husband (from another woman). A half brother is a blood relative. A step brother is not.
WizardOfNG: Absolutely. This is why many support PBAT. He believes in providing the environment where a truly free market economy for Nigeria, driven by healthy competition beneficial to citizens and the nation itself, can emerge, evolve and thrive.
Crystal clear what we had before PBAT (see below) was a command economy under Presidents from 1999 to 2023.
While I'm not a fan of Tinubu (I dislike his politics), I can't disagree with you on this. In fact, I've always noted his market leanings with approval. During the last presidential media chat, I still recall how Otitoju asked him about "price control" and he totally destroyed the notion. And I said, finally a president who understands basic economics.
ponziponzi: The problem is that many products imported will be cheaper than the locally produced. This is due to their scale of production, infrastructure development and matured supply chain that affects the cost of production. If Nigeria wants to base the survival of local industries on cost of imported substitutes, that will be a disaster.
Local products being more expensive is not justifiable in my view. Labour is cheaper here. Far cheaper. Dangote refinery is one of the largest in the world - so what scale are they lacking? They're producing the energy they use, so what cost exactly are they dealing with?
