Somebody should check on Rufai Oseni. He shouldn't forget to attack his boss for this award.

emkz:
What are the lessons?

Recall that during the 2022 to 2023 presidential campaigns, Arise News and ThisDay used every opportunity to attack Tinubu.

Ms Ojynika Ojy Ope brought every Tinubu's gaffe to amplify on her gossip segment of their morning show. Rufai Oseni said all sorts and asked Tinubu to bring himself to their studios so he (Rufai Oseni) could cross-examine him. Tundun Abiola abused people who spoke for Tinubu. Abati sometimes got carried away and joined the fray. Even their proprietor wrote a scathing release where he specifically said that Nigeria must avoid a "Noriega moment", in reference to Tinubu's unproven drug dealings. That press release was in bad taste that the duo of Dele Alake and Bayo Onanuga took the owner of Arise News to the cleaners over his unethical business practices. The owner of Arise News even tried to control public opinion by insisting Tinubu must be interviewed by them or other media house.

We must remember that the media house gave positive press coverage to PDP, Atiku, LP, Peter Obi and Godwin Emefiele as the latter contributed his quota to bury tye Nigerian economy.

They even lied that APC Presidential Campaigns had asked ThisDay/Arise Media Group to remove Rufai Oseni from the Morning Show and Shaka Momodu as ThisDay Editor in favour of patronage should Tinubu win.

After the heat from Bayo Onanuga and Dele Alake, Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria had to intervene to reach a settlement as the owner of ThisDay/Arise found himself in hot water.

The morning after the results were declared, Rufai Oseni exhibited a sad and forlorn look as he could not conceal his pain.

Following Tinubu's victory, they brought all sorts of human beings to their media station to discredit the elections and discuss a matter in a court. When all that failed and the handwriting on the wall was clear, their boss started making moves to ingratiate himself to the leaders of the day. For example, he invited himself to attend a Nigeria-Saudi Investment Forum to catch the eye of the president.

Only recently, they tried to discredit the coastal highway by jumping from one issue to another without questioning someone for allocating public land to himself.

What has changed from the antagonistic media group to bromancing the president?

What are the lessons:

1. Put your eye on the ball and believe in what you do and do what you are convinced in. Had Tinubu allowed himself to be misled to the biased media group, they'd have messed him up.

2. Many organizations take editorial decisions to favour the business interests of their owners. Do not be deceived that they are giving a voice to you or your feelings. They are doing what is politically expedient at that time.

3. I think it is unethical for a media house to dish out awards. A media is a business, but how can they be objective in coverage when they give awards to people they ought to report?

4. How come Channels TV, TVC, NTA, VOA et al do not give awards to people?

5. It is clearly a battle of business survival which makes this award in bad taste, unethical and unacceptable.

Let's look into the future:

1. Atiku and Obi would condemn ThisDay/Arise for giving Tinubu the award.

2. Tinubu should thank them and reject it.

3. I am ashamed of Tinubu's enemies eating their words. Why can't they stand by what they claimed to have believed?

This is the authentic Rivers State House of Assembly.

Martin Amaewhule and his co-travelers have since ceased to be members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, owing to the fact that their seats have been declared vacant, and INEC has been instructed to conduct by-elections in those constituencies.


INEC, under Mahmoud Yakubu, has refused to do the needful, denying those constituencies their rightful representatives at the State House of Assembly.

INEC, under Mahmoud Yakubu, hhowas proven to be the biggest threat to Nigeria's democracy.

You pray all day that good news about your own country should turn out to be fake just so you can taunt those with different political ideology...thats the lowest of lows

Is Warri not a real place or did the News outlet gather unrealistic info from mars and pass it off as a site in Warri? Kindergarten logic

if it was a negative news without source, you'd swallow it once

Mynd44:
A former Presidential candidate said "we must move from a consumption economy to a production economy" importation of petroleum products takes the boot of our imports which is a consumption but now, we no longer consume this, we produce it. But the supporters of this candidate says Nigeria is going backwards.

A former president said the Port Harcourt refinery cannot be fixed. What do you expect from bittered mind. They are confusionist who mix politics with emotion.
A so called investigative reporter said Dangote refinery isn't working
Some people said portharcourt refinery is just blending
Some other people said port harcourt refinery has stopped working.

But here we are. We should sha stop deceiving ourselves with lies and propaganda sha

Deputy speaker of the house of representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has praised president Bola Tinubu for his dedication to the Igbo ethnic group, declaring him the first leader to “remember the Igbo” since the civil war.

One of the first rule of Governance is not to pick someone who already knows too much. You pick a dummy/rookie who is still learning the ropes whilst you continue to dominate and domineer.
Gbaja might look like he doesn't know what he is doing, a 6-termer, a former Speaker who did well whilst he was in the house... When he will be Governor, Tinubu may even be too old to even control him, so those people Tinubu doesn't trust too much, will remain in Abuja with him, where his eyes can always reach them.

If you give me a Governor or Chief of Staff to the President, I will embrace the CoS to the President. The CoS is the most powerful position after the President, infact technically 'more powerful' than the Vice President.

You cannot see the President without the CoS.
The CoS is responsible for hiring and firing every domestic or office staff of the President. In the Villa, he is the 'defacto President'. Nothing goes on with the President from health to Security to finance to budget to anything without the CoS.
The CoS doesn't have a budget, like every spending comes or flows from that Office. That office is too powerful to leave then run for a Governor.

It's a personal choice though......

Though things may change, he hails from the same LGA as Sanwo-Eko. it's going Lagos East most likely....

Ellapthia:
Wow.. I was thinking along same line. But sir, would u rather choose to be the chief of staff to the president than being the Lagos Governor?
Personally I feel Tinubu wouldn't want Gbajabiamilla to leave him now. Tinubu wants someone to come in and maybe spend just one tenure and by the end of the one tenure, he too would have being rounding up his own tenure as president, thereby freeing up Gbaja to take up the role of Governor

Richtaiwo:
Shut up.

So because the ungodly illicit drug criminal is igbo, the business of illicit drug trade is not only by Nigerians but also by other countries' nationals.

Laureta Onochie showed a video of 15,000 Canadians scrambling for palliative intended for 1,000 people yesterday, to show idiots that Nigeria is not alone in hardship, you all seized the opportunity to scream, swear and cursed Nigeria again.

Besides, how is Theophilus Ejiofor even a Nigerian?

Edo Central By-Election: Esan Liberation Movement backs Hon. Ikpea’s senatorial bid


A Pan Esan Social political movement with membership strength of over eight hundred and fifty (850) cut across the five local governments in Esanland, The Esan Liberation Movement(ELM), said it had endorsed the former Edo State commissioner for Oil Gas and Solid Minerals, Hon. Joseph Ikpea of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for Senate, to ensure the party’s victory in the 2025 senatorial by-election.

Esan Liberation Movement(ELM) coordinator, Hon. Prosper Iyere, made this known to newsmen in communique issued on said in Ekpoma on Saturday , said the choice of Hon. Ikpea, who is also a former Esan South East Local Government Council Boss, was born out of their convictions that the APC’s aspirant is highly competent and capable of offering quality representation for the zone.

Hon. Prosper recalled that Hon. Joseph Ikpea as a former local government chairman and Edo Central Senatorial District representative at the state primary education board changed the narrative and brought hope and succour to his constituency and his local government.

He said: “We have reviewed the political developments in the state and Edo Central Senatorial District in particular and we have decided to add our strong voices to it. Our decisions are far reaching as stakeholders and leaders of Edo central senatorial district.

“In this endorsement, we totally distance ourselves from any other adoptions and urge all the people of Edo central senatorial district to support the ambition of the APC’s aspirant, Hon. Joseph Ikpea.

“We have noted the caliber and competence of aspirants of all the political parties interested in the forthcoming re-run in the zone and collectively endorsed the All Progressives Congress’s aspirant, Hon. Joseph Ikpea for the position.

“We make this decision passionately without fear of contradiction. Edo Central needs a popular, competent and trustworthy choice to represent us at this time. Hon. Ikpea has shown competence and capacity to offer quality services to the senatorial district."

They further called on the people of Edo central senatorial district to support the ambition of Hon. Joseph Ikpea of All Progressives Congress in the forth coming bye election.

TechBaron:
Lol

Clowns.

Since Dangote (an individual) initiated and completed his refinery, they've been acting like vampires that have been exposed to sunlight.

Clowns!

PressMyButton:
Oil players are gradually falling in line with the reforms. Who would have thought that a day would come when oil marketers will build their own refinery. As Tinubu said in his media chat, Once you supply the market, prices will gradually fall in place. It can only be Tinubu.


After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria

Instead of developers to go back and celebrate Christmas they decided stay and continue what they know how to do best .

Justiceleague1:
These people are very greedy and single minded.
All they think and care about is themselves only.
See the number of bodies they have monitoring the presidency not to mention their various committees spying and checking the presidency and Nass like monitoring spirits.
Tinubu should look for a way to dismantle and break their ranks.

The sad thing however is the excess stupid koneheaded structures we have here in the south who keep causing division and rancour with their ever foolish Peter Obi this, Igbo that rants upandan everyday.
If they south can just unite,these parasites would be put in their place but koneheads must be koneheads

OredoPikin:
First, it was Rotimi Ameachi as a governor that joined the North and SWest to remove GEJ a bayelsa man and a SS person, simply because he had an issue with the first lady then that happened to come from same local govt as his.
Again, Bayelsa was also created from old rivers state.

Then Wike as a governor betrayed his party to rigged river state in favour of APC simply because he was outsmarted during the PDP presidential primaries.

Ameachi was used and dumped
Wike own will be loud.

What was Ameachi thinking? like they would have handed him the presidency after he joined them to truncate his brother's tenure.
This is greed and bitterness taken too far.
Wike is on the same path and his fall will be heavy

Edygrin:
Help him today and he'll insult you tomorrow.

I don't know the issues he has with Burna, but he left burna and started insulting burna's mother, even for street that year we no dey use mama joke play.

rinzaugustine:
Can you point at one single house owned by a Yoruba man in Abia but if you travel to Ibadan, oshogbo, ado ekiti, akure you see uncountable by same Abia citizen you are trying to criticize. In the Yoruba states I mentioned how many Igbos were given appointments by the governors inspite of their contributions to the state? You people will always sound like circus clowns anytime discussion of one Nigeria is brought up

rinzaugustine:
Their criticism will not change the mind of the Governor . Otti and mba are performing wonderfully as Governors . Supreme Court governor is a lost case. Soludo is looking for letters to write to Peter Obi while criminals overwhelm him in Anambra state. I dont hear anything about Ebonyi governor on whether he is performing or not
