Is Remita that the FG was using a public enterprise? I don't understand the issue here, can anyone explain what the problem is with Xpress, another private enterprise?

And then, does the FG have digital and logistics platform to run the TSA without issues?

Have you heard anyone complain about the TSA?

WriterX:
You are confidently defending a system you don’t even understand. Lagos didn’t grow because of Alpha Beta — it grew in spite of it, because of massive federal allocations, migration-driven economic activity, and private-sector dominance. If Alpha Beta was the magic wand you claim, the simple question is this: why is its model kept secret, unaudited, and protected from public scrutiny for over 20 years? A system that is truly efficient doesn’t need darkness to survive.

You also can’t pretend Lagos is some miracle when it is the most indebted state in Nigeria, owes trillions, survives on aggressive taxation, and still cannot provide water, functioning hospitals, or safe public infrastructure. If that’s your definition of "success," then you’ve simply normalised low expectations.

And let’s settle your biggest error:
A private toll gate on public revenue is not reform — it is outsourcing sovereignty.
TSA was created to remove middlemen and block leakages. What you are praising is the exact opposite: inserting a politically connected company between the people and their treasury. The fact that this appointment was done quietly, without bidding, without the National Assembly, and without public disclosure, already exposes the intention.

If the model is so great, why hide it?
If it is so transparent, why is Lagos still fighting legal battles over Alpha Beta’s activities?
If it is so beneficial, why didn’t the FG subject Xpress to open tender like every other public contract?

Your argument collapses on one point:
No serious country hands its national revenue to private proxies — ever.
Countries build strong institutions, not private empires.

Lagos can play with consultants.
Nigeria cannot gamble its entire treasury on political loyalty.

Atiku’s concern is simple and valid:
Once you allow one private toll gate into TSA, you’ve opened the door for ten more — and the nation becomes a private estate.

This isn’t innovation.
It’s state capture wearing a digital badge.

And anyone defending it hasn’t thought far enough to realise the damage it will cause when the bill finally comes due.

The only people I expect to defend the express payment thingy will be APC lackeys n secret hangers ons.....not any sane citizen who has the nation's interests at heart. But we will see how far they go with this. By the time tinubu is done...d nxt president will also bring in his own private pipelines to such national revenue.

The man is not satisfies with the oil wells and other monies that are in his domain....na the nerve centre of national revenue he wants to sink his fangs in...

GEJ na premium mumu I swear...real one fah...lol.

Buhari own na to tiff from nnpc....now we have a bigger professional.

odejimioflagos:
Atiku should focus on his own party and leave the government alone. We have a president that is doing great things.

Is this part of the corruption he was doing in the past?

This act is direct stealing from govt coffers into private hands.

It should be condemned by everyone, not just Atiku.

Nuhu Ribadu Fulani...Muslim...Lateef Fagbemi ...yoruba..Muslim...matter dead before starting..


Ribadu bigger Muslim..Fagbemi..lesser Muslim...

A true Muslim is first loyal to the religion before any profession...any Muslim who thinks otherwise is considered apostate.

Conflict of interest is nothing more than this...

best team wld have been one that includes at least a top nigerian Catholic and a protestant cleric too.

When the us is really ready..they know what to do..as for this one.. nothing serious will come of it. I hope I'm wrong

99thEnemy:
20 years only?

That means the terrorist will be out in about 10 to continue from where he stopped


What nonsense is this?

Not ten o...he'll be released in 2027

HacheNoire:
All soldiers in the south should be deployed to the North!

The police can handle southern security issues.

Also, NYSC should be converted to full time military service for 2 years. Our land mass is huge compared to the numbers of our security forces and numbers is really a factor at this point.

Shebi they shd come n pack all of your family members to go n fight boko haram

Thundafireseun:
You don’t insult elders and expect to live long

If an elderly behaves like a kid...he deserves all insults

dettolgel:
Tinubu is not trying to help Ekweremadu he is just trying to strengthen his political base.

Meanwhile on a serious note how is Tinubu "freeing" Ekweremadu going to improve the lot of an average person in SE?

Because ekeremadu has boys...that can effect what wike was able to effect in rivers state back then. That's the only thing i see there...and its needless...he could have achieved the same outcome by just calling the igbo elders together and forging alliances...but no they want to do it by force lies they used to...I pray the devilish man is never released...

timibare:
All because ekweremadu loves his daughter...... fatherly love is strong too

You want someone's love for their child to lead to ur demise too? Let's pray for that shall we?

ruthieo:
Interested

How did this go

In all of this no one is asking where ned got the money he's now marrying loads of wives with..Hopefully it's completely legal but naija politicians nor dey disappoint

yinkus6750:
Why running when no one is pursuing you?
If you get arrested, and you innocent,you get a good lawyer to fight for you and prove your case.
If you guilty, you get bailed, and likely sentenced on judgement.
In few years, you out to continue life.
Why risk your life ?
May his soul R.I.P.

The poor dont have the money that all of this will require....he may not evn know its efcc coming...efcc shd learn to handle people better.

Abdul05:
How can Nigerians fight a country where food and electricity are constant.... Please let us be serious,..

But if what bashir Ahmed said in reaction to US interfering about Sharia law..then he has a point in principle..

Trump has no right to dictate internal religious or legal system..unless there is a clear human right violence

Deborah was burnt to ash by a useless illiterate for a supposed "blasphemy" ....I guess that's not enough to count for human rights violation or violence... the other useless one that led riot back then before becoming minister of communications...that one is not violence...when you people are tired..you'll separate religion from ethnicity and rationality....and speak truth....

Unity summit kwa....you people shd wait till after 2027 before starting your unity summit biko...we do not want any summit until then....when Tinubu or another southerner enters in 2027...you all can begin your summit then
.. anything else before then...we don't want to hear o....una don deceive us enough...you either all return GEJ into Aso Rock..or we retain Tinubu...but that we will open eyes down and allow u people swindle us in the south again..it wont happen...just sad for the middle beltans that you guys are stealing land from

Jaga9ja:
This is the type of advice that those who sleeps with people's spouses will give.


They are not married and don't have the intention of getting married except justifying their act of sleeping with married spouses.

I was about to type exactly this.....lol...na fuckboys dey make advertisement

Celestialsword:
The whole north is under siege.Until the sponsors are unmasked,this rubbish won't stop

Its already in the south too

These are the people they'll use for elections

Wale Edun is an old man for one, but the stress of managing the entire country's finances is not a job for such aged men. he will need to gather plenty asssistants and aides,all of whom need to be properly vetted and monitored by DSS continuously in order to sniff wrongdoing.

We pray he survives and does so with his full self amnf function. but if God spares him as we all pray, my advise would be for the man to rest and gently resign to enjoy his self. let the younger and more able hands manage that institute. but with full dss scrutiny and monitoring.

Unfortunately...they didn’t state his name. They shd have done that. Tomorrow now he will be contesting for president

His role is done already..he shd just enjoy this last mission and retire..Fubara will achieve what Tinubu needs wike for in rivers.

So technically, BAT doesn't need Wike as much anymore...only that he shd not work against fubara there.

He wants to waste their time. People who were trained as refinery engineers now getting posted to cement and sugar. I'm sure he won't sponsor any training for them there either.

Those of them with sense shd just resign and japa

This is why all the almajiri houses running in the north need to be closed down.

Imagine committing all these atrocities just for 200k. While politicians steal billions without leaving their offices.

As for the fools shouting against those complaining about the state of the economy. Jna wehdone o...

Burob:
Minister Nnaji of Enugu State no finish from UNN abi? You people have vowed to remove your brother from government because u hate Tinubu?

I hope that President Tinubu replaces him with Sadiq Mutairu from Ibadan, make una weep more.

Everything is not politics. Enugu can definitely look for another indigene who finished school to replace their nnaji.

Not everyone in the country is walking on their heads.

Imagine how stupid we all now look to the world. A nation that claims to have many high achievers as indigenes went to make a school dropout minister for science and tech. And individuals like you dont give a hoot...just because of politics.


That there are people like you in the country is why Nigeria's progress has been backwards. We should look for another country to give your types. Ministry of science and tech has phd holders and professors in their staffing...you mean all of them shd continue to be made to answer to an individual who didn't complete school. And you dont see that as being ridiculous?

Why do we have people who still think like you. In this country....and we'll be blaming northerners as being stupid and poor in thinking/ignorant.

dapadawee:
Enemies, the photo book is a proof that's even more substantial than the graduation group photo.
Bad belle

Lmao...when the rest of the world sees the useless way we handle serious matters here. They will increase the harshness they judge our credentials with.

Just imagine a whole minister of science and Tech. E dey post Class yearbook as evidence of graduation. He dey ask the school to refresh him memory whether he finished schol of not. Ds s how low we have gotten in this space..

We don pass floor dey go underworld...lol... we have left people cheating during waec..neco and utme...now we're dragging fake certificate forgery
..if he succeeds in bribing his way through this unn one
..what of the NYSC he also forged...have we all become mad in the country..that we now dont even know our right from left anymore?.

Ahleebomaye:
5,000 Aides for 109 Senators and 360 HOR members. 5000/469 = 10 aides each.

We are not ready yet.

Tbh...if they were all working properly and were experts in the tasks being assigned them..it wont be an issue...the problem is that they just a few of them usually are. May God help Nigeria

LordBiden:
She took her own life.
Real robbers could have just stolen her belongings and then leave unless she stepped on powerful toes.

So..if she stepped on toes. Thats equivalent to taking her life?

datola:
The situation, according to the engineer, escalated after the circulation of reports that while Nigerian workers received modest increases, Indian expatriates’ salaries were doubled from $13,000 to $26,000 per month.

Indians receiving 26,000 USD per month at Dangote Refineries

BIG LIE!

Of course urs sensational...maybe per annum. That's still far more than what the Nigerians earn and should be corrected. Also, there shd be rehulaziry rs to fzill

Zionmdde:
Interesting and the army escorted back to their husbands or they know the road back the terrorist camps and army can't use them to track the terrorists.

Very interesting country

Let the fool be deceiving his fellow gullible there...if you give drug addicts a chance after rehabilitation..you think they wont first long for the very toxic substance they've just been weaned from?...

Do you then have any sense...if you grant them free access to it...simply because they asked?

beerfraud:
there’s no smoke without fire

You think outsiders know one nigerian tribe different from the other?.... When yorubas commit wire fraud and drug heists...you think the news will write their tribes instead of their nationality?

Why are you people cutting your noses to spite your faces?
