Who's stealing the oil & what's the solution? What's responsible for the metering error? In all these incidents, what measures are put in place to avoid environmental degradation?

Summary:

A Port Harcourt–Aba train broke down near Imo River on September 4, 2025, leaving passengers stranded in the bush for over two hours. A woman shared her ordeal on social media, citing conflicting explanations from staff, including lack of diesel, water, and brake failure. Though passengers eventually got home safely, the incident highlighted recurring problems in Nigeria’s railway system such as poor maintenance, underfunding, frequent breakdowns, security risks, and declining passenger experience, despite recent investments in new rail lines.

Sad but the good news is that they all reached home safely. No attack by bandits nor kidnappers. Servicing & maintaining a train is not rocket science, why is the NRC not living up to expectations?

An amazing development in Anambra east local government. This will curtail the high number of mad people especially youths roaming around aguleri, nando, nteje, igbariam and most especially umueri. Youths around this vicinity are much more exposed to high drug usage ranging from tramadol, loud etc

It's a good development. But no mention was made about provision of medical personnel including psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychiatric nurses etc. There's no mention of provision of equipment: ECT machines, EEG etc.
I hope the establishment is not another spiritual psychiatric home?

Consumption of fuel has nothing to do with engine...but based on your carburettor..

Are you a technician.?A lot of factors affect fuel consumption - type of fuel, engine configuration, fuel pump, spark plugs, injectors, overheating etc. Modern cars no longer use carburettors. They use injector systems.

Kanixt:
Obasanjo wanted to sell it out, it was Atiku who objected it. Atiku boys still running the refineries

OBJ sold them to Dangote, it's YarAdu'a that reversed it due to pressure from the Labour unions. I believe they're a lot of vested interests there. Some employees get money there without working & recently, their emoluments were increased. With the privatization of NNPC, it's expected that the FG should hands off refining of crude oil.

seunmsg:
Atiku did not stop him, well meaning Nigerians from all parts of the country stopped him. Every single pro- democracy activists worked against the third term ambition. Atiku simply joined the bandwagon because he wanted to become president in 2007. Bola Tinubu, the only AD governor as at that time mobilized all opposition lawmakers to vote against the bill. The day the bill was to be put to vote, then General Mohammadu Buhari was personally at the gallery of the Senate chamber to ensure that constitutional amendment supporting third term was never passed into law.

They shouldn't have stopped him, may be Nigeria would've been better. But the opposition that promised Nigerians change & fought tooth & nail to grab power has failed woefully: insecurity, collapsed economic, increasing debt etc.

VOsimhen144:
That has always been his plan but he wouldn’t have gotten it.

Former President, late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was the greatest president Nigeria ever had… But I will tell you for free that PDP had an agenda.

Late Musa Yar’Adua was loved by Nigerians, I mean he was the only president that reduced the prices of goods and commodities for Nigerians to have a better living but there was an agenda behind all these.

Obasanjo wanted to use Late Musa Yar’Adua to pass the bill the return back to office to finish the 3rd term tenure just like how Donald Trump did for his 2nd term.. But Yar’adua sudden death couldn't allow Obasanjo accomplished his mission.

By the time Yar’Adua pass the 3rd term bill to the senate, nobody would have been able to stop him because we all could see he was doing a great job.

Unconfirmed conspiracy theory. It doesn't make sense in the first place. Think about it.

The feeling of guilt & stigmatization is an issue you need to overcome. With good nutrition, personal hygiene & medical treatment, you'll live your life normally.

LagosOrigin:
Another ass licking visit because he's heard that buhari loyalists are now with atiku

Desperate man

Northerners don't really care about you sir, stop doing too much.

You have only a vote, let others speak for themselves. All we need is free, fair & credible elections & the myth of the monolithic Northern will disappear.

oyeb15:
Dangote will destroy our oil sector. Then nothing will work in Nigeria again.

Did he stop others from doing business? We've other smaller refineries. The marketers can go & lift fuel there. We don't need fuel scarcity again in this country.

free2ryhme:
unregistered marketers can also be fuel smugglers

You've gotten a point. The middleman syndrome is a big problem in the country. It increases the costs of goods, services & sufferings of the common man. People should embarrass change. That's the only way the country can make meaningful progress.

Validated:
Tinubu is going! Going!! ... 2027 will be very interesting with Atiku holding 75% of Northern votes, Peter Obi holding 55% of tge South. Tinubu may have to import voters from God knows where.

Good question. PMB did not leave any legacy that can sustain loyalists. I don't think politicians will come out openly to claim they're his loyalists.

ogb5:
TY Danjuma? I remember that guy, the one who was tasked to protect Aguiyi Ironsi but turned around and killed him. The guy who got a gift of an oil block from Abacha free of charge and sold it for 500 million US dollars.

When did Danjuma become patriotic?

Sad that they succeeded in removing GEJ, brought in the APC but nothing has changed. Insurgency continues in the NE & banditry initiated in the NW. Even the General's hometown was not spared. He's handicapped, blamed the military for collusion & advised Nigerians to defend themselves against insurgents. Nobody should take them seriously, their interests is their treasure & oil wells in the Nigerian Delta.

3ice9ce:
This is the man who couldn't secure ordinary bail for Nnamdi Kanu.
But his name featured in converting property fraud in the UK.

Was he tried for the alleged offence? I thought he's acting as an attorney to his client.

mrvitalis:
Did any notice how Sowore was used to distract attention from focusing on supreme Court to make ruling on the Rivers State issue

Sowore works for Tinubu
I suspect falana too but not sure

He's expressing his opinion. You can do so too if you've any. Kudos goes to PBAT just as stated by Wike for upholding the rule of law instead of unnecessary harassment of political opponents.

Shawarmagirl:
It's normal for politicians to decamp where they voices will be held.

What are you bringing to the table for NNPP Kwakwaso ask Tinubu and APC. Make it known for everyone to see it and not empty paper promises as Nigerians has been seeing recently.

Is politics a handwork or trade? Must politics be given something before they work for the Nation. Patriotism is a rare virtue in Nigerian politics.

Arabk25:
President that believes in the rule of law my foot. Is suspending a democratically elected governor the rule of law you're talking about?

It's an effective political solution to the crisis in Rivere State. If he didn't do that, Fubara would've been impeached & crisis would've erupted. Oil pipelines would've exploded & an economy crisis created. The Rivers politicians have learnt a lesson.

jmoore:
Something is happening. DSS has file charges against Sowore on behalf of Tinubu.

Yea, but he wasn't harassed nor framed up on frivolous charges.

Lukuluku69:
It is true that some of these Assignments usually triggers ones intellect but I am not paying that amount in fees to trigger my own intellect but that of the child.

The essence is also to identify gifted children. In China for instance, some toddlers have started operating computers, learning the parts & uncoupling & coupling them. Early child education is good but needs supervision.

PureFace1:
NUPENG is having issues with a private company but they want to punish and blackmail the whole country because they have the power to.

This is how black people think what concerns Nigerians with their shenanigans with Dangote unless it the Federal government they are fighting against they shouldn't even be thinking of going on strike to punish the whole country.

Apart from unscrupulous elements, no well-meaning Nigerians are supporting NUPENG. I believe most of those tanker drivers are poorly learned & informed. The middleman obstacle must be removed from our businesses. It's causing a lot of hardship for the common man.
Those drivers have options: liaise with Dangote refinery, fine alternate jobs or continue their businesses without being a nuisance to others. Some of them are involved in fraudulent activities: diversion, stealing of products etc.
If NUPENG is bent on obstructing the efforts achieved recently, it should be decimated.

Glimpsetv:
Summary:

A 22-year-old Kano innovator, Ibrahiem Bala, has invented anti-sleep alarm glasses that alert drivers when they doze off. Inspired by a tragic accident earlier in 2025, his creation has gone viral, with many Nigerians calling for government support to commercialize it.

How does it work?

Palestinians will take back what belongs to them, Jerusalem us their land and they were there before those European Ashkenazi Jews came after word war11.

Palestinians; When did they start to exist in that territory? Get your facts before you may comments.

Saturnalia:
He should continue wasting his time. 2027 will be very different from 2023. Lies & Propaganda no longer work on the mind of an average Yoruba person.

You should all hijack Twitter, Facebook and other Social Media Platforms and change your names and monikers to Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba to conduct your fake polls in Favour of your Messiah; but it’s not going to matter since the theme is “Anybody Else But Obi”.

My brother speak for yourself, you've only a vote. All that is needed is free, fair & credible elections. Nobody is interested in sufferings for another 4 years.

cyberbro:
Very good. How can 2 federal bodies fail to agree on allowing graduates gain admission into law school... The law students are just doing the right thing.

If at all the Council for Legal Education has reservations, they can subject NOUN law graduates to entrance exams to make sure they're up to par with regular graduates, end of story.

Open University in the UK is producing lawyers every year, Law isn't rocket science. They need to do the right thing and stop discriminating against a federal institution.

Yea, it's the same challenges that occurred when universities refused to admit students with NECO certificates.

Morbeta11:
Make una leave Virgin Mary alone and out of una infidelity matter.....ejooor

Why, they both serve the Virgin Mary. She'll know the liar.
The main concern is the issue of going to London to do DNA paternity test instead of doing it in Naija. The mentality of politicians & their families going to medical tourism abroad has not changed.

Streetinvestor2:
Who actually was planning to vote gej as an Obidient.Vote for him that what happened.
The SE gave him thr vote in the past but won't give it again even if he comes out.What effort did he make to support obi and our course in last election. Let him come out and try his luck

How much votes did the SE deliver despite the appointments he gave them including a Coordinating Minister of Finance. His key men in the SE betrayed him despite the funds provided & jumped camp to the APC thereafter. Since then after from the 2nd Niger bridge which GEJ initiated & PMB completed, what did they benefit from APC apart from insecurity, unknown gunmen, kidnappings etc.

descartes400:
If I import original drugs from where ever into the country but had to give it false descriptive narratives i.e 'spare parts' in order to cut importation cost, when caught, will the regulatory bodies I.e nafdac call the drugs fake drugs?

It'll be impounded because of false declaration. And obviously, if you cannot settle, NAFDAC will always certify it as fake drugs.

AMINDA:
Yorubaman, do you live in Kaduna? Have you ever set foot in the state? If the APC has any evidence that Elrufai paid killers, he's no longer in the party. Why has he not been prosecuted? There's no governor touching Elrufai's performance as governor of Kaduna in the foreseeable future. The records are there.

He took Kaduna from an average of 9 billion naira per year IGR to over 60 billion naira when he left office. Kaduna became the Northern State with the highest IGR during his tenure. Kaduna was consistently top 5 state that attracted the highest FDI while he was governor. He embarked on the iconic and ambitious KadunaUrbanRenewal drive that transformed the city of Kaduna into a very modern city. You can either visit Kaduna to see for yourself or do your research online. There's no Nigerian alive that can doubt the capacity of Elrufai to deliver in any task he's assigned. He delivered as DG BPE, delivered as FCT Minister (still the best till date) and delivered as governor of Kaduna state.

The BPE that sold NITEL, ASCON, NEPA etc. at subsidized rate & they've all gone under. His job in FCT was to decimate OBJ's political opponents. The FCT is still a semi-urban area with no pipe-borne water in most areas, no good roads in the outskirts etc.
The greatest mess of the APC is bringing banditry to the country & converting it to a lucrative business. Youths are no longer interested in farming but prefer to be kidnappers, Insurgents & bandits which is more lucrative. El-Rufai's accusation not be wrong. Recently, some states including Katsina are negotiating & signing agreements with bandits. There's no other better sign to prove that the Nation is a failed state.

Judolisco:
This suggests that either the efficacy of vaccines given at birth is decreasing, or parents are no longer bringing their children for vaccination.... Vaccination is free....

Quite sad that children will be dying from preventable diseases. The government, NGOs, professional bodies etc. need to do more to enlighten the public on the importance of childhood vaccinations, sanitation, use of safe water etc. And government needs to live to its responsibilities by ensuring availability & use of potent vaccines for immunization of children & ensuring that health facilities are functional & easily accessed by the people.

Dazzay:
America and gun violence eh. But I still prefer it to Nigeria under Tinubu.

There's more sufferings in Nigeria. More people die in Nigeria than the US through insurgency, banditry, kidnappings, other violent crimes etc. The other thing is that in the US, the killer will be apprehended, tried & sentence unlike here that the security agencies rarely get to the root of the matter. Despite the rampant incident of gun violence, an average American is safer owning firearms.

seborrhic:
She thinks she would find everlasting joy in that house?
Funny her.
When that p*ssy the man was craving for or that d*ck she couldn't do without now becomes something you see everyday,it loses that novelty and pleasure it was giving you when both of you were seeing occasionally.
Also no matter what,in the next 5 years or so with her present age,she wouldn't be that sexually appealing again.
So unless they are getting married due to true love for each other(highly doubtful because it's clear sex was a big factor in their original getting together),she is in for a rude awakening.
Flaws would become noticeable,some bad character traits would manifest and all that is rosy and sweet today would suddenly become monotonous and boring.

Why do people marry. Is one of the reasons not to enjoy pussy without sanctions? I believe the right decision was taken. Was she supposed to be left like that after the scandal?.
