Gbadugbakun: Bayo should tell us how much debt tinubu left as governor of Lagos and how much debt he has plunged Nigeria into as president. I usually say it. That man is a shameless fellow.
As for soludo. He should go and ask Rochas how far. Rochas literally sold imo to Muslims just to please the north. He spent billions of state funds to support buhari. During APC primaries he campaigned in hausa thinking they would vote for him.
Where is Rochas today? If soludo thinks the North would rally behind him for pushing his brother under the bus, he's a joker. Once his tenure expires he'll fade into Oblivion like Rochas.
Tinubu has never claim of be holier than angel micheal. Obi has been decieving many people of prudency and operate opposite. He challenged soludo and the erudite prof show him premium shege by exposing him wirh facts. Make una dey shame joor.
TonyeBarcanista: The protest by some Nigerian traders in Lagos against Chinese retailers should force us to confront an uncomfortable reality: many Nigerians patronise Chinese-owned shops because they are often cheaper.
Yes, Nigerian traders deserve a fair business environment. But we must also be honest about the other side of this issue.
For over five decades, successive governments have left the Nigerian consumer at the mercy of traders and distributors, some of whom pursue extraordinarily high profit margins simply because weak competition allows them to. In some markets, trader associations even fix prices and prevent their members from selling below an agreed price.
A trader is entitled to make a profit. He is not entitled to organise a cartel that leaves the consumer with no reasonable alternative.
So when a consumer sees the same or similar product substantially cheaper in a Chinese-owned shop, why should anyone be surprised when he goes there?
The answer cannot simply be to protest against the Chinese trader because he offers a cheaper alternative. Neither should foreign businesses be allowed to compete through practices that Nigerian businesses are not permitted to use. There must be one set of rules for everyone.
Government must be bold enough to enforce our competition laws. The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act already prohibits price-fixing and provides criminal penalties for certain price-fixing conduct. Government must enforce these laws against cartels and other exploitative practices and, where necessary, introduce targeted measures to protect consumers in essential markets where they are particularly vulnerable. But regulation alone is not the answer.
Government must also make Nigerian businesses genuinely competitive. That means fixing power so a trader does not spend half his profit on diesel, fixing logistics so moving goods from Lagos to Kano does not double the price, and giving manufacturers single-digit loans, tax holidays and industrial power instead of speeches.
Foreign companies should likewise be encouraged to do what many successful economies actively encourage - establish factories here, create jobs here, transfer technology and build local supply chains, instead of simply importing finished products to sell to us.
The country should not protect Nigerian traders from competition. The country should protect Nigerian businesses from unfair competition and Nigerian consumers from exploitation.
Nigeria under a CDA Government shall be a country where Nigerian and foreign businesses are free to compete fairly, where government enforces the rules without fear or favour, where production is rewarded over rent-seeking, and where the Nigerian consumer finally has the freedom to buy quality goods at a fair price.
That is the Nigeria CDA stands for.

The chinese are very welcome to open retail business outlet in niveria to stop the greedy traders. Let lagos state government back them up cos those idiot nigeria traders are evil.
ratcock: I am so happy that H E Mr Peter Obi documented every detail of amount received and disbursed under his administration. Soludo and his otimpus should expect a devastating response.
I am very sure obi will not respond again and you his zombies will say, he should focus on his imaginary presidency. Una enter wella. Obi has been bursted. Anyway i am not surprise cos i know he has nothing to offer.
BATified2023: Tell me y anyone will still support this man if not for tribalism, look at how a governor of his state brought out evidence to buttress what we all have been saying since all these years.....
Forget those supporting this guy are doing so simply because he's their brother, if obi isn't their brother they won't support him.
This man is a glaring failure, imagine all sectors been dead n they want us to see him as messiah?
Tribalism will finish us in this country
They look at him as the only hope of presidency for now. Look at some hypocrites from east who used to call him out of his failure as governor but suddenly turn 360 degree by now saying he is the best. Whether dey like it or not, igbo presidency is not feasible in 2027 to 2035 but can happen in 2039 if they put thier house in order before then or out of self pity to them. Obi has nothing to offer. He is among if not the biggest importer for years and he didnt pratice what he know preach, consumption to production.
BATified2023: u ask for evidence n person choke u with enough, the next thing na to call am goat.
Now u realize your agulu packaged fraud have been bursted n he's going nowhere the next thing na to move to Atiku.
Atiku go still get bloody eye again with u n u go rest
He is among the foolish obidients we have around. Just look at rhe fact presented with dates attached. Obi was just a lowly governor during his reign. Nothing really was special he did.
BATified2023: what will b his reply when this is an evidence with time stamp.
He has for evidence n them load am with enough, no to keep quiet remain now
obi will never reply and his zombies supporters will say he should not bother to reply but focus on the already dead on arrival presidency. The coming election is between tinubu and atiku.
Validated: Goveis a continuum, Soludo should stop breathing and face governance.
governance is continues but that doesnt means a liar should be exposed. I know as an obidient, after this proof, you will still defend the fake messaih. Obi has nothing to offer.
This is what is called fact but his zombies obidients supporters will soon come out to defend the failure. Obi is just an opposite of whom he want nigerians to see.
Ironbull: Why are you people always shouting rigging when ts not favouring you or noticed imminent defeat?
Mr Iyere in sincerity with due respect I'm hearing your name for the first time claiming you are a human right activist.
Mr man where were you in last Edo local govt electionary when apc won it all?
What always surprised me about people like you sir is how on earth do you think a party who lost governorship seat, lost all local govt chairmanship, has no national senator from the state, has no ordinary street Councillor will come from no where to win in general election pls activate common sense Mr man and stop all these rigging noise.
Oga if somebody refused to vote your party for governor, refused to vote your party for local govt chairmanship, refused to vote you party for ordinary councilor common sense should tells you their is 99.99% same people won't vote your party in presidential election.
The lunatic just want to be popular. As an edo man, i dont even know him. The only candidate that will trouble the incumbent senator under apc,is Ndc candidate. He is very popular and was a former local governmemt chairman who was regarded has a performer. He re won his chairmanship under oshiomohle in pdp and oshiomohle had to rig him out. It is just a two horse race. Okpebholo factor places the incubent ahead cos if not, i will say the ndc guy will win.
Ologogoro: You can't even say the truth for once and be free.
The Kwara State governor replaced all the three serving senators and all the house of reps candidates, the PDP tapped them and gave most of them automatic tickets, what is wike's fault ? Even the faction that produced the PDP governorship candidate in Kwara isn't the wike's faction
Leave those igbos who have not recover from 2023 elecrion defeat were wike played an important role to deny the fake messaih and agulu lieing machine man presidency. How will a governor even replace all national assembly members who are mostly connected to grassroot and he now blame wike for offering them pdp platform to contest.The governor is simply jittery cos pdp will win the state back. Wike and saraki support and the national assembly members will have an upper hand. Wike made it very clear that he is supporting tinubu for presidency under apc but pdp in other position and what is his own offence when the likes of soludo, adeleke are diong same thing. Igbos should learn to move on and leave bitterness cos it is dening them presidency. You cant hate me and expect me to like you, expecially in politics, it dosent work like that. They should leave emotion out of politics.
callthefred: Then you don't understand politics at all or you're just pained. Wike will deliver Abuja make Obidients just forget that. He will even do better in Rivers this time. You all keep forgetting that politics is local. Meanwhile, those governors allowed strong members to leave without any compensation, politicians all care for their interest and that of their followers. When you deny senators their tickets, what happens to their followers? Instead of allowing NDC hijack them Wike gave them ticket. Why do you think many returned to NDC after they failed in APC? Because they must always want to contest. That's how politicians think. If Hope is ready to vacate as state governor to return to senate and forefeet remaining months so as to position himself ahead, why shouldn't Wike also position himself ahead?? You don't like Wike but the man has always been the most honest politician in this country. He will let you know from the onset that you're at war together and not be playing two sides. Very bold and straight faced man. One Wike alone is more than 10 governors in the South or biddle belt.
igbos have not recover from the pains of wike not supporting obi in 2023 that denied them presidency. You are very right about wike been the most honest politician currently. He dont do back bite but he will bite you to your face after he give reason. Wike will continue to be relevant even after tinubu presidency. He will inherit tinubu's political smartness. He has been planting loyalist across states since when he was governor. That was what tinubu did and he paid off. He has used his closeness to position rivers strong politicians in position and they have pledged thier loyalty to him in return. Some governors denied serving senators with grassroot appeal with nothing to offer them and now that they are at the cross road, they are now blaming wike. Ameachi became irrelevant today in rivers politics because of greed. He lost key loyalist to wike because he didnt want them to grow more bigger.
People who die on election matters, are so unfortunate. They should have donated their kidneys, heart, scrotums and other vital organs in their bodies for their family to sell and make money rather dieing uselessly
You are very right. Only fools kill themselves for politicians who are actually friends but divided because of self interest in a stake.
Kalashnikov49: To imagine that he ran away from Oyo State to go and commit crimes in EDO State.
This is absurd
He must have an insider either an edo person or who have stayed in benin. You dont carry out kidnapping or robbery of that kind without nobody. Thanks for the arrest but he should be pressed further to confess and name hos accomplice(s)
Dalohad: Make sure Umahi is listed as respondent on that suit..
That self-acclaimed 'Professor' has nothing upstairs apart from thinking of big buttocks.
I don't know why short men love big buttocks too much, especially those men from poor backgrounds who stumbled on money.
it is a pity that jonathan who hails from south south, couldnt improve road infrastracture across the zone under his presidency. We just lost a golden chance. Jonathan and obasanjo really messed up in area of road construction in their respectful region compare to buhari and tinubu who did far better than them. East -West road was not given the needed attention.
Stephen0mozzy: Well, seeing that Tinubu needs planes to keep flying so that he can run to Europe for unnecessary vacations and rejuvenation a.k.a health check up, I'd say he has a vested interest.
Secondly, if NNPC was the one supplying Europe under Tinubu then that will be a deserving thanks. But for a private refinery, please keep quayet Sir and sofri dey hawk your IPO/Shares.
Honestly i agree with you about NNPCL selling to europe and in turn making money for the country, would have been a great feat. I cant imagine that nigeria government dont have any working refinery. Obviously, nigeria is the only oil producing country with the government not operating a refinery.
AMINDA: By this time in 2023, it was not even in doubt that Tinubu was the choice of the North. Ordinary Northerners carried the election on thir heads. Atuku ran a queit campaign because there was a general sense that he was running against the tide. Fastforward to today and the energy is not the same. All you see are obviously sponsored crowd while organic supporters of opposition candidates are attacked, blocked and brutalised by the fearful governors in their states. First Benue and then Kaduna. He needs to match his 2023 Northern figures and make better inroads into Obi's Southern base to stand a chance. That isn't happening at the moment.
You are not always consign about the poor living cindition of your people who have nationalize almajiri begging system. For many donkey of years, your people held power, yet your region still have the highest poverty rate. Go and take it to the bank that tinubu will win again. I am not his fan or supporter but he has mastered political craftness and he will deploy it again.
OredoPikin: Yet he lobbied for it and committed billions of delta resources into it. Most of u sha can't think
He is definetly among the gullible youth, the politicians keep manipulating. Okowa that did eleborate thanksgiving when he was nominated by atiku ahead of wike. He further sank billions of naira to the failed project. It is sympathetic that we still have shallow minded youth in our mindst. With this, it shows the future of nigeria is not bright at all.
Cj4charles: And you invested so much in it even though you know you won't win....... make una dey lie small small naaaaa
You just spoke my mind. When he was chosen by atiku ahead of wike, he celebrated it like someone who won an olympic gold medal. So he is saying, he delebrately wasted delta money he added to the campaigns and election proper. I dont blame cos it is the many ignorant people in his senatorial district who will still fall to the lies i blame to vote for him again.
God1000: Now this is ridiculous, vote buying in America, there's nothing we've not seen or heard in a country that claims to be the champion of democracy under this lunatic
The emergency lovers of nigeria wont go against trump now. What is the differnce betweeen what trump is planning to do and the nigeria politicians who share money on election day. They are all vote buying strategy. Trump is desperate and he knows the implication of his party losing.
Sleekfingers: Jonathan and Obasanjo also failed to do the necessary too..... As a matter of fact, Jonathan completely failed in that aspect. Despite from the Niger Delta region
He is a big fool. He had the golden chqnce to develop niger delta but choose to please the norrh with almajiri schools even when they said, they dont want education. He had millitant to his side if he recieve any treat from other region who can easily blow up oil facility if he is resisted to develop our region.
And now they are planning Badagry Seaport in same Lagos and you call it laudable?
Meanwhile, the seaports Onne, Port Harcourt, Warri, Sapele, Calabar are all comatose.
Benin-Agbor is deadlocked because of the volume of trailers moving containers from Lagos to the East.
But instead of diversifying the seaports, they are concentrating more of them in Lagos.
Later you will have ijiots from Southeast yapping dust that Southeast is benefiting from Tinubu regime. Benefiting from what?
This is one of the reasons i so much dislike jonathan. How can you held a very vital and powerful office and dissapoint a whole region where he comes from who happens to be the place that lay the golden egg. East west road was neglected by him for a whole five years plus, warri and other ports were not revilitalize and onne port was not given the needed priority to compete with apapa by upgrading it. Jonathan cant point to any meaningful project in south south were he hails from.
ThePolity001: OPPOSITION IS LAZY?! 🤯 Sambo Drops Bombshell On Why APC Keeps Winning Elections!
A major political warning has just emerged from the Ekiti Governorship Election—and many Nigerians are asking the same question: what does this mean for 2027?
Following Governor Biodun Oyebanji's historic landslide victory across all 16 local government areas, political analyst Sambo has delivered a blunt message that is generating serious debate across the country. According to him, opposition parties can no longer continue to accuse the ruling APC of monopolising victories without first addressing their own weaknesses, organisation, and electoral strategy.

Could this election be an early preview of what Nigerians should expect in 2027?
Why did the opposition perform so poorly?
Is APC's growing dominance a result of performance, political structure, voter confidence, or something deeper?
We'll examine the facts, analyze the numbers, and uncover the political implications that many commentators are afraid to discuss.
Key Topics Covered:
✅ Ekiti Governorship Election 2026 Results ✅ Biodun Oyebanji's Historic Victory ✅ APC's Expanding Political Influence ✅ PDP Crisis and Opposition Challenges ✅ Vote-Buying Allegations and Electoral Concerns ✅ 2027 Election Predictions ✅ Nigerian Political Analysis ✅ Tinubu Administration and APC Strategy
This is one political conversation every Nigerian should watch.

everything he said is fact and let me also add one. they also failed to bury their personal ego for a collective victory. Tinubu was desperate to vice buhari in 2015 but the likes of Ameachi and Saraki begged him to reconsider his stance cos Muslim muslim ticket won't work and they got it perfectly cos most Nigerians would have voted against it. Atiku was not willing to step down for any southerner and obi who would have made the combo a winning or near winning refused. they have just handed Tinubu second term on a platter of gold.
helinues: By 2039 when the North mist have completed their 8 years, power will be returning to Southern region.
South West is automatically out of the race which left SS and SE
Who do you think Nigerians in general will vote for should South East and South South presented their respective candidate for the presidency position
Even thou I am from south south, I will want it go to south east with a detrabilize candidate who sees Nigeria as one and condemned ugly situations across the zones. however politicians think differently cos they don't do emotion. 2027 will play a long way cos it will shape APC were to zone the presidential ticket in 2039. except they will all just agree to let south east have it and be supported by other zones. definitely south south will produce the vice president from 2031 -2039.
BATified2023: nobody will vote them, they themselves know but are trying to play to d gallery
They insulted the country n call it a zoo They insulted the northerners n call them cows The called the south west derogatory names They insult the south south at will too.
They are the only region that doesn't have any alliance with any other regions in Nigeria and instead of trying to form alliance they believe insulting, bullying, character assassination will get them presidency.
Oya now
You are very right but for the sake of the very few sane ones, Nigerians should considered them in 2039 and vote a pan Nigerian igbo not obi kind of south east. may God keep all of us alive to them cos I will campaign for them against my south south person, if they brought a detrabilize candidate.
