This is not the matter, the issue is always do all you can to safe your marriage, many women of now adays are using sex as a weapon to fight their husbands and I can tell for free, no sex no happiness in marriage...two men can not be pretending to be opposite gender as how now? If one do not want to be married he can remain single now no crime in that.

You people don't know what they called politics....we all know that as a Nigerian you have the rights to contest atleast twice to any political position in the country...now a lawyer who is a Nigerian is threatening a person who is once a president not to contest in the country? Abegi na Jonathan and his political family dey use that one to gain publicity... think am well.

I normally see this thing when I dey young but not again,, so I think there is hope for it to go on its own just make sure you make the place as dry as possible

resident Bola Tinubu has signed the South-west Development Commission (SWDC) Bill and South-south Development Commission (SSDC) Bill into law.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, disclosed this during plenary on Tuesday.

With the president’s assent to the two bills, all six geo-political zones now have dedicated development commissions.

“Just to inform distinguished senators that Mr President has assented to the remaining regional development bills, the South-west Development Commission Bill and the South-south Development Commission Bill. We now have all the developmental commissions legally in existence,” Mr Akpabio said.

The Senate also commended President Tinubu for signing the bills establishing the commissions into law.

The established regional commissions are tasked with enhancing infrastructure, economic growth, and social welfare within their respective regions.

Mr Akpabio expressed appreciation to President Tinubu for his cooperation with the National Assembly.

He said the commissions would create more jobs for Nigerians and facilitate grassroots development.

“We thank the president. We are grateful for his cooperation. We are grateful for creating jobs. We are also grateful to have taken development to the grassroots level,” he added.

Legislative journey of the Development Commission Bills
The SWDC Bill was passed by the Senate in September 2024 with majority support before being transmitted to the House of Representatives for concurrence. It was sponsored by Ogun East Senator, Gbenga Daniel.

Similarly, the SSDC Bill was passed in October 2024 and forwarded to the House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Cross-River South Senator, Asuquo Ekpenyong.

These new commissions join the North-west Development Commission (NWDC) and the South-east Development Commission (SEDC), both of which were signed into law by President Tinubu in July 2024. Their respective boards have since been constituted and confirmed by the Senate.

The NWDC was sponsored by Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, while the SEDC was sponsored by Deputy Speaker, Ben Kalu.
Presidency applauds legislation
Basheer Lado, the special adviser to the President on Senate Matters, commended President Tinubu’s leadership in signing the regional development bills and the Nigeria Anti-Doping Bill 2025.

Mr Lado, a former Kano Central senator between 2011 to 2015, described the move as a demonstration of the administration’s commitment to inclusive governance and national development.

The presidential aide commended his principal in a statement issued shortly after the senate president announced the president’s assent.

“These landmark legislations are a clear reflection of President Tinubu’s relentless commitment to inclusive governance, equitable progress, and Nigeria’s emergence as a global powerhouse. His Excellency has once again demonstrated that leadership is not merely about policies—it is about impact, legacy, and a deep-rooted dedication to uplifting every citizen.

“By signing into law the establishment of the South-west and South-south Development Commissions, President Tinubu has reaffirmed his role as a transformational leader who prioritises regional empowerment, economic expansion, and infrastructural excellence.

“Building on the foundation of his earlier assent to the South-east and South-west Development Commissions, it is evident that President Tinubu is deliberate in bringing development across all regions.

“These commissions will serve as catalysts for industrial growth, job creation, and social advancement—ensuring that every corner of Nigeria benefits from his administration’s progressive vision. This is the mark of a true statesman—one who understands that a nation’s strength lies in its ability to uplift all regions without bias,” he added.

The presidential aide also noted that the Anti-Doping Bill before lawmakers aligns with global sports ethics by domesticating the UNESCO International Convention Against Doping in Sports.

“In the same vein, the Nigeria Anti-Doping Bill, 2025 is yet another bold step that solidifies Nigeria’s commitment to fairness, excellence, and integrity in global sports. President Tinubu has once again positioned Nigeria as a nation of high ethical standards, ensuring that our athletes compete on the world stage with honor and credibility. By domesticating the UNESCO International Convention Against Doping in Sports, his administration has safeguarded the future of Nigerian sports, protecting our athletes from unfair practices while reinforcing our global reputation as a country that upholds integrity.

“This momentous occasion underscores President Tinubu’s unmatched leadership—one that is proactive, decisive, and deeply attuned to the needs and aspirations of the Nigerian people. His ability to enact ground-breaking policies that foster unity, drive economic prosperity, and elevate our international standing speaks volumes of his unwavering dedication to national transformation.”

The Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria has kicked against the sale of petroleum products in the Nigerian market in dollars by Dangote Refinery.

National President of PETROAN, Billy Gillis-Harry, made this known on Tuesday in a statement.

His comment comes as Dangote Refinery on Wednesday last week decided to suspend petroleum product sales in Naira.

Dangote Refinery follows the statement in discussion regarding the continuation of the Naira-for-crude sale policy with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

Reacting, Gillis-Harry said petrol product sales in dollars would have an adverse impact on Nigeria’s economy because they would result in undue pressure on the Naira at the foreign exchange market.

He urged the federal government to ensure that all petroleum products sales within the country were done in Naira.

“We oppose the sale of petroleum products or any other products within Nigeria in dollars.

“We believe that such a practice would have an adverse impact on the economy, bringing undue pressure on foreign currency and exacerbating Nigeria’s already challenging inflationary situation.

“We urge the government to ensure that all transactions within the country are conducted in the local currency, the Naira, to protect the economy and the welfare of Nigerians,” he said.

He added that the federal government should review and evaluate the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) to examine necessary adjustments that will ensure the Act aligns with the current realities of the petroleum industry.

“We believe that a comprehensive review of the PIA will provide opportunities to address emerging challenges, promote investment and enhance the overall efficiency of the petroleum sector.

“We also wish to commend the federal government for its commitment to allowing market forces to determine pricing, which encourages healthy competition and prevents the monopoly of any kind.

“This approach will ensure that the petroleum market remains competitive, innovative, and responsive to the needs of Nigerians,” he said.

The Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd) has taken the oath of office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Recall that upon the declaration of state of emergency on Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu appointed Ibas to take charge in the troubled state for six months, pending resolution of the political crisis.

Fielding questions from reporters shortly after the brief ceremony, Ibas spoke on how he intends to pilot the affairs of the state.

“First of all, I think we know the circumstances that led to where we are here.

“Mr. President made it very clear in his broadcast, if the main issue is that of maintaining law and order in the state, I think for any meaningful activities to take place in Rivers State, that is the utmost task that I have to work together with all other stakeholders to ensure that we bring peace, order and security and stability to the people and government of River State and Nigeria at large.”

Tinubu had cited the protracted political crisis in Rivers State for the decision to impose emergency rule in the state.

While the face-off between Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara escalated, Tinubu revealed that he felt disturbed and needed to take immediate actions to quell the crisis, which he said was depriving the citizens of Rivers the dividends of democracy.

First of all, you need to realise that depression is like body odour. It'll follow you EVERYWHERE you go.

If you feel so depressed that you're already suicidal, you need to get it treated ASAP.

DON'T let your depression push you into making a life-threatening MISTAKE.

TACKLE your depression in UK.
DON'T make any DRASTIC decision until you've done that.

If you think your life is HARD in UK, Nigeria would make it look like a tutorial.

Returning to Nigeria should NEVER be an option unless you are 83 and waiting to DIE.

Chai! U wicked o with that your last paragraph...but na true sha

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has announced that the 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) Port Harcourt Refinery and the Kaduna Refinery are undergoing a comprehensive overhaul aimed at meeting world-class standards.

This was disclosed in a statement by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd., Olufemi Soneye, in response to comments from former President Olusegun Obasanjo regarding the refineries’ rehabilitation on Thursday.

According to NNPC, the rehabilitation of the 60,000 bpd Port Harcourt and Warri refineries exceeds traditional Turnaround Maintenance (TAM), representing a full revamp to meet global standards.

Obasanjo had expressed doubts about the operational status of the rehabilitated Port Harcourt and Warri refineries. He referenced advice from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), which reportedly questioned the viability of the Port Harcourt Refinery due to alleged corruption.

In response, Soneye emphasized that the revamping of the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries was a notable achievement under the leadership of NNPC Ltd and that similar rehabilitation efforts are underway at the second Port Harcourt Refinery and the Kaduna Refinery.

He reaffirmed NNPC Ltd.’s commitment to restoring and maintaining the refineries to global standards for sustainable operations.

Soneye further extended an invitation to former President Obasanjo to visit the rehabilitated refineries and observe the progress firsthand.

“We extend an invitation to our esteemed former president to join us in this historic journey.

“His wisdom and experience are invaluable, and we deeply appreciate his insights and guidance, which will always be welcomed and cherished.

“We hold President Olusegun Obasanjo in the highest regard as a respected statesman who has made significant contributions to the growth and progress of Nigeria.

“His dedication to national development and his right to speak on matters of national importance are both deeply respected,” Soneye stated.

ivandragon:
Tired of engaging a nincompoop? I think it is to be expected.

But it is also hilarious watching you exhibit madness, so I will indulge your stup1d1ty.

Trade words with an ill bred kid? No. But you will continue to exhibit your 'gentlemanly' attitude for all to see, and it won't change the fact bat is a liar and hypocrite, and you are a child who cannot take his own advice.

is only a mad person like you that will be talking like that, I am not mad like your father thats why it is easy for me to see your stupidity and lack of home training, I don't think you can reason straight like human being and it is still not ur faut is just your stupid parent that were badly rased by their own parents... stupidity is running in ur genes u dis slowpoke.

ivandragon:
And the childish clown keeps vomiting trash.

I think you are getting tired, do u think u can come online and insult anyone you don't know from Adam? Abi I sabi ur useless father from anywhere? Atleast I warned you before you start. I know you are badly rased by useless parent but you too should stay away from trouble and make sure your own children are not product of your background. Furthermore try grow up BRO means Brother and I mean no harm to use the word....before I stop I don't backdown if you keep trading words with me I will lead you to where you will be crying for the rest of your life.....shalom

ivandragon:
The cry baby who cannot take his own advice. Clear evidence of your rudderless life.

You claim to be a gentleman, yet, look at you disgracing yourself, which is why I call you a kid, and a dysfunctional one at that.

You see you are the one crying here like a baby who they collected his feeding bottle becaue if not that you lack sense your brain will tell you warned your useless son a bitch like a gentleman before you start, do you think everyone is stupid like your yeye parent? You are now crying when you have been given the taste of your own medicine ....see man no dey care o I go remind you how your useless parent gave birth to you by mistake.....useless baby factory product like you.

ivandragon:
Crying misfit.

You gentleman? Keep deceiving yourself. A gentleman that thinks insulting parents is a mark of home training... hilarious.

Like I said, you should take your own advice and mind your business because you keep exposing your hypocrotic 1diocy.

you are an slowpoke and it obviously run in your genes ....you don't have to cry little rat as you just learning d secret of your parents..I am still blaming your poor useless father who refused to put use condom if not we will not have experience this im slowpoke..your papa need heavy knock on his yeye head...I would have call you goat but it will be a great insult to good 🐐 out there coz they have functioning brain than you...I pity your destiny.

ivandragon:
You are still crying all around?

You are a childish clown that cannot take its own advice.

Keep ranting like the filthy mongrel you are.

see mumu baby factory product, talking, who is crying between me and you? Do you think you can talk? Is because I am well trained thats why I am using gentle man on product of burst condom like you ..you can't transfer your bitterness to me I am not the stupid parent that gave birth to you and left you to suffer.carry ur useless brain go front...

ivandragon:
It is interesting how someone who chooses to hide his head in the sand when things are bad is so hell bent on advising another person to take it easy.

Since you know you nothing is worth fighting for, even in the face of wrongdoing, why don't you take your own advice and mind your business?

You lack the basics of decorum and common sense, if you did, when you use certain words on a faceless forum and the person you are referring to tells you they do not like such word, why repeat it to that person? It shows you lack respect and have an ego that is matched only by your lack of common sense.

So, you should learn to take your own advice and respecting yourself and boundaries, kid...

it is now obvious you lack home training...some of you because you have went online to beg for data you don't have sense again you think everyone is your mate, does it mean the last election have really blocked your senses? I can see your parents refused to take their responsibility thats why you can not think straight, I no even blame your mumu mother is that your useless father I blame coz he refused to use condom if not he wouldn't have flood our society with maggot like you...useless son of baby factory.

ivandragon:
The issue with kids like you is that you keep running around in circles over matters you cannot grasp. If you do not want to hold bat, who is in power now, accountable, why are you bothered that I am airing my own opinion and holding them accountable in my own little way?

Is it by hiding behind one finger that the country would get better? You can sit back and keep up your wishful thinking without action, that is your perogative, let those who want to speak up, do so. Hope you got that, kiddo...

Something still amaze me about you...is it too difficult for you to comprehend or something? Let me make myself clear once again...I never ask you not to hold who in power accountable (should I write in capital letter to make you see it clearly?) if you hold them accountable and things get change will it be for you alone? NO and is your right to speak out remember? Who am I to tell you or stop you from speaking that I am not a politician and that's why I said in one of my comments with you that politicians are for themselves common men like you and I are for ourselves...does it mean to insult people u dnt know just dey worry you or something? Or you just lack home training? Atleast read to get the point I really don't wish to insult people online but you are pushing me...if you see me at the front of you obviously you can't insult me, why are you insulting someone you don't know from Adam on a faceless forum like Nairaland? You have to really work on yourself. Work on your understanding and work on using social media too..u dnt just come online to insult people you never meet or see physically. Please read all we have been discussing. Only said we need the protest now if Jonathan can come out and do the same maybe things will changed? Did I abuse you with that? By saying even if you are 60 years you are still bro to me and bro means brother in case you don't know coz it common in the mouth of guy man lol...is that insult? Abeg take life easy ooo those you are fighting for dnt know you they can't even trust you to go close to any member of their family so why are you accumulate enemies because if them? Easy o

ivandragon:
Your are entitled to your opinion, but cut out the 'bro'. If you are that young, do not assume everyone on this forum is as young as you are.

You may have no qualms being lied to and deceived, that is your choice. Others want to hold those in power accountable.

If a politician promises something, he should be held to account. If circumstances require that he changes or goes against his promises, then he need to accept responsibility and provide an explanation to the people he leads.

Hope you get the drift.

you still dnt get it....no one tell you not to hold them accountable here, dis I mentioned not to hold them accountable? I said no matter who get the job done someone like me don't care...be it Buhari, Obi, Jonathan, Tinubu, Kwankwaso even if they can wake abacha to cone and do it right whats my problem, in fact the person can continue rulling till end of time I don't care, the only thing that matter is four our country to be great in my life time....and come to think of it, bro means what to you? And what make you think I am that young? Let me tell you even if you are 60 years old which I doubt, you are still bro to me....in case you need to know bro means BROTHER......we really need to grow up sir.

ivandragon:
So playing politics with 200m lives is justified in your opinion?

Tomorrow, people like you will call yourselves 'patriots'. Self serving hypocrites.

A man tells you not to accept what is good for you and then goes back and gives you something worse and you say it is just politics?

Anyway, it is your type that prioritises buying new cars while you don't pay school fees for your children, so not surprised.

well your opinion bro, but the fact is politicians are politicians and common men for themselves what I want you to know is that no matter who solve the problem among them someone like me don't care I just want things to better if Jonathan think they witch-hunt him let him to gather people to protest in fact we need the protest now more than that time....try to get the drift bro.

ivandragon:
Clowns. Justifying nonsense.

Why did BAT protest against the removal of subsidy in 2012 since that was the right decision?

Why did BAT protest against pms at N145 after subsidy removal in 2012 but is proud today that pms sells at N1000?

Why did BAT say the exchange rate of N217:$1 in 2014 was too high but is proud of the rate at N1600:$1 today?

Why did BAT promise to bring down the exchange rate to N300:$1 but his sycophants now want Nigerians to believe N1600 is a 'good' rate?

BAT has never had the interest of Nigeria at heart, but his own selfish agenda.

Imagine him romancing chaugory, abacha's bagman and confidante. That just shows that even his nadeco agitations was all smoke and mirrors.

seee this things no need arguments, many of you will just be shouting why he protest against removal of subsidy during Jonathan days while the answer is starring at you looking in your faces......now incase you don't know, they are in opposition that time and playing the card like opposition and that is what all politicians do. Let me ask you is Jonathan alive now or not? Is it also in opposition or now or not? If your answers are yes, he too can gather people to protest against subsidy removal, shikena .

See this one dey live in 2018 instead of 2024.....sey na Oyebanji bi Kayode Fayemi?

How this one manage to became a news?
