Olorogun Godwin Obire, in an interview with journalists in Asaba, expressed his sincere gratitude to the Anioma people for their overwhelming support and attendance at the free medical outreach organized by Senator Prince Ned Nwoko.
Obire emphasized the critical importance of healthcare and acknowledged that while there is a need for a more robust healthcare system, waiting for change is not an option. Action must be taken now.
During the two-day free medical outreach, over 500 residents of Delta North received essential medical services. This represents the second phase of the outreach, as Senator Ned Nwoko remains committed to ensuring that the people of Delta North receive their due.

Another paid commercial for the sake of a polithieftian. WOW!

■ Group Faults Sahara Reporters Publication, Says Allegations Against Faleke Not True
The Coalition of Ikeja Youths (CIY), a Lagos-based youth organisation has reacted to the recent publication by Sahara Reporters, an online medium accusing Honourable James Abiodun Faleke using a Kaduna College as front for buying SUVs for traditional rulers.
The organisation in a statement signed by its Chairman, Olorunsogo Adeniyi; and Secretary, Blessing Chukwu, described the report as not true, urging the media organisation to do a proper fact-check on the matter. It even invited the media organisation to come to Ikeja on fact-finding trip.
According to the group, Faleke has been upright in all his dealings and follow due process in his constituency projects and empowerment programmes.
The group noted that as a lawmaker, Faleke has not been involved in awarding of contracts for his constituency projects. “His only job

Beware of fake NGOs and groups whose sole purpose is to forward the intentions of the politically minded crooks in Nigeria.

Renowned cleric and Planter of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Adamimogo Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain Worldwide, Prophet Sam Olu Alo, has charged Southwest leaders to tell President Bola Ahmed Tinubu the hard truth about the current hardship faced by Nigerians. He urged all Southwest stakeholders to speak up to avert crises, particularly during this era of economic challenges.
Speaking on a radio program on Adamimogo FM, Alo said all stakeholders in Yorubaland, including Christian and Muslim bodies, as well as those with direct access to the President, should meet with him and let him know what Nigerians are going through.
He said, “The Ooni of Ife should convene a meeting with all Obas in the Southwest and choose a delegation to meet Tinubu at Aso Rock.
“CAN President Pastor Samuel Oladele, Pastor Adeboye of RCCG, and other respected men of God should also lead a delegation of clerics to meet President Tinubu in Abuja to express how deeply Nigerians are suffering.”

After collecting money from the same administration only about a month ago to threaten their congregation against protesting the hardship it has caused them, you now expect the same set of crooks— all of them scammers-in-the-lords — to go tell the administration this truth of yours? Abegi!

■ A brand and marketing strategist, Williams Vermeer has proferred solution to ensure unity and economic empowerment in Africa.
He said for centuries, Africa has grappled with the challenges of collaboration, economic integration, and a unified voice on the global stage despite its vast resources, diverse cultures, and growing population, the continent has struggled to assert its position as a global powerhouse.
Vermneer said colonial legacies, linguistic and cultural barriers, and external influences have hindered Africa's attempts at regional integration.
"The Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its successor, the African Union (AU), have made notable efforts to promote unity and cooperation, but more needs to be done.
"However, the lack of a cohesive media platform has impeded effective information dissemination, constrained cultural exchange, and reinforced negative stereotypes, affecting initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) which aim to drive economic growth and enhance intra-African trade.
"Largely due to the seeming misrepresentation of Africa by Western media, which has for a long time promoted narratives of poverty, conflict, and dependency. This has hindered meaningful partnerships and investments, relegating Africa to the periphery of global affairs.
"To tackle these long-standing challenges, a new media solution has emerged—C54 News Channels, a groundbreaking Pan-African media platform set to reshape the narrative and foster Africa's unity and economic empowerment. By highlighting the continent's rich cultural diversity, tourism potential, and economic prospects, C54 aims to close the trade gap, enhance tourism, and inspire a new generation of African leaders.

*LABOUR PARTY CALLS ON NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER AND EFCC TO INVESTIGATE AISHA YESUFU AND ITUA IGHODALO FOR EMBEZZLEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION AND POSSIBLE TERRORISM FINANCING

I expect Obi and others falsely implicated to file a suit against this man in the courts soon.

Any small thing now, na terrorism financing. The way people write about this terrorism financing like it’s a slap on the wrist makes me shiver as to how Nigeria has deteriorated over the years.

Politicians have shown themselves to be useless entities as far as Nigeria is concerned. Why the people have yet to realize this up until now is what continues to astound me.

“We are calling on the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Delta State government, non-governmental organizations, the United Nations, and all well-meaning individuals and organizations to come to the aid of these vulnerable communities. The destruction of critical infrastructure such as schools, homes, and clean water sources, combined with the loss of entire communities to the ocean, has created a humanitarian crisis that demands immediate action. We also call on Chevron, given its long-standing presence in the area, to lead efforts in addressing this crisis.
“The damage caused by decades of oil exploration must be countered by meaningful action to support the communities that have borne the brunt of environmental degradation.
“This ongoing genocide must be addressed with urgency, as the future of these communities hangs in the balance. The goose that lays the golden egg should not be abandoned.”

So, the man na figurehead in all of this abi him money no fit help the communities in question?

Hardship: Era of extravagant lifestyle over, Sanwo-Olu’s wife tells women
The wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, urged women to embrace modesty and shun extravagant lifestyles amid the trying economy in the country.
The governor’s wife said, “We are at a crucial point in our nation’s history where the need for prudent and intentional living has never been more urgent.”
The advice is coming as Nigerians continue to grapple with the ripple effects of the economic reforms introduced by the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government, which include the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of naira.
“As women — the backbone of our homes and society — it is essential that we embrace the reality of the present economic situation, not only in Nigeria but globally. The era of extravagant lifestyle is over. We must adjust, prioritise what truly matters, and lead by example in our homes and communities,” she said at the closing ceremony of the 24th National Women’s Conference organised by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials.

Imagine the nonsense! Has she and her husband attempted to cut back on their lavish lifestyle in all of this while?

I really do not understand why Nigerians do not stone these people to chase them back into the hole they crawl out from to utter this foolishness!

Whynotthetruth:
■ What about him aside possibly personal prejudice or bias irks you or you doubt?

Personal prejudice? His record as a governor is not of personal prejudice. Is it?😂😂😂😂😂😂

Peter Obi who like every other politician who has occupied office in the last 25 years— Tinubu, Atiku, Kwakwanso, Sanwo-Olu, Hope Uzodinma, etc—, has nothing like change to offer anyone, especially Nigerians. If he did, he would have at least accomplished one of the following in the 7 or so years he spent as governor of Anambra State back when the Naira was still strong and funds were in good supply for such projects to have been carried out.
■ Clean water supply to homes
■ Robust sewage and water management system
■ Effective Waste management system
■ Good schools with world-standard educational and Skills training services
■ Internet connectivity in both homes and businesses
■ Electricity supply to homes and businesses(through building of dams, use of wind turbines, and better distribution services)
■ World Standard equipped Healthcare network
■ Sturdy road network complete
■ Passenger Rail system linking at least the major towns and cities
■ Network of Libraries with free access to members of the public to support learning
■ Better prison facilities and rehabilitation programs
■ Expansion of police-community programs to help capture crimes across all parts of the state.
■ Excellent Gas transmission network for the direct piping of gas into homes.
, etc.

Was it equally personal prejudice that kept Obi from carrying out at least some of the actual responsibilities of a governor during his time as governor of Anambra State?

MEEVEET:
■ Says someone who's last two choice have been Tinubu and Buhari Do you think u know what a good leader is or looks like even when he is in front of you? You lack moral to even talk on such topics

Enter gutter somewhere if you have nothing tangible to offer in the way of a discourse!

Whynotthetruth:
■ I was an adult while he ruled Anambra State and coming from a family of civil servants, I experienced some of his reforms first hand...and I can stand tall for him anyday anytime anywhere... Peter Obi is different!!!

Name one or two of the reforms you witnessed during this adult period of your life.

SocialJustice:
What can realistically be done to remove him from power before election?

1. Recall of unneeded senators. 2. Impeachment of President(there are more than enough reasons to have this done, over 40 million of them.)

If the people are willing, it will be done.

coolitempa:
■ From the same sense that made you want to remove a president within his tenure of three years remaining by making empty noises on nairaland. So you must be a strong man. . Go and remove... and then we will know you are a strong man not just a noise maker...

We couldn't be taking sense from the same place since my sense comes from the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which clearly indicates that the seat no be the man Papa property and so he can be fired/impeached by the people whenever they are tired of him. I suggest you go borrow sense from that Supreme Law instead.

kettykings:
Why not them upgrade to cng before they ground the state with another policy of inaction. Imo is a gas giant for crying out loud

Imo is a gas giant yet imo has to this day been unable to. use that gas to the benefit of the people. Na to dey do CNG dem go come dey use the gas for all so that after paying over a million and a half each, they can then get to purchase fuel for cheap if and only if Tinubu is telling the truth this one time after so many many other lies. Make una dey reason all these things well abeg.

The Vice President also assured that the federal government will integrate technology into the nation’s educational infrastructure to address human capacity and resource challenges to improve learning outcomes.
He said this during a meeting with the World Bank Nigeria team at the Presidential Villa Abuja, on Wednesday.
He said: “Be rest assured that where there is a will, there is always a way. Change is a very painful percolation process. But I know we will get out of this very soon and be on the path of sustained growth.”
Shettima referenced India’s success in using KYAN smart class solutions to teach students in rural areas, suggesting that similar innovations could revolutionise Nigeria’s education system.

Change is painful yet the pain does not seem to reach him and his office at all as they go around spending like those to whom Christmas has come every single day of the year since they took office.

I truly don't understand what is keeping the Nigerian people from calling for the immediate recall of all the members of the Senate and for the impeachment of those monkeys and all that is part of the cabinet he belongs to.

FreeStuffsNG:
■Onanuga while condemning th claims that the government was against human rights, accused the labour unions in Nigeria of pursuing narrow interests that had in the past, only stunted the economic growth and development of the country and even compromised the material well-being of the workers and the poor people they protect.
Onanuga cited the case “the strong opposition of the NLC and TUC to the sale of Port-Harcourt and Kaduna Refineries to Bluestar Consortium, promoted in 2007 by Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
According to him, “Seventeen years after the labour movement forced the successor government of Umar Yar’Adua to cancel the sale of the two refineries, none of the four government-owned refineries worked.
“In the obverse, Mr. Aliko Dangote, one of the promoters of Bluestar, has built the largest single-train refinery in the world. In a twist of fate, the same Labour Movement that fiercely opposed Dangote from taking over the two refineries in 2007 hailed him on completing his 650,000-bpd refinery in Lagos,” Onanuga said.
The refineries since remain comatose, despite having gulped about $25b in maintenance costs.

This is the reasoning of one who has absolutely nothing reasonable to offer anyone.

trutharena:
Onanuga has been a disaster of a spokesperson.

Bayo is of the same caliber as Tinubu which is why he is kept so close.

Additional soldiers have been deployed in Moriki town, Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, as the deadline for payment of N30m levy imposed on the community by the notorious bandits’ leader, Bello Turji, has elapsed.
Turji imposed a levy of N30m on the community following the killing of over 100 cows belonging to him, allegedly by the military personnel about three weeks ago.
Daily Trust learnt that the cows were intercepted by the soldiers at Dumfawa, a village between Moriki and Shinkafi town sometime in August.
Confirming the deployment, a resident of the area, Aminu Musa, said more soldiers were deployed to the area some days ago.
“Beside the soldiers, the state government also sent more personnel of its security outfit, Community Protection Guards (CPG) to the area to complement the conventional security personnel.

Shadomaan7:
■ Peter Obi has been consistent with his prayers and thoughts for the people of Nigeria since 2023 election.

Where were those same prayers and thoughts when he was governor of Anambra State for 7 years? Even tinubu claimed he fought for democracy but we can see today that the man is nothing but a fraud, the same fraud that held Lagos State for 8 years accomplishing nothing in the way of that expected of a State Governor all throughout that time.

DamnnNiggarr:
I am deeply saddened by the multiple loss of lives and disruption of activities in Maiduguri, Borno state capital which has just been hit by a devastating flood disaster.
It is heartbreaking to think about the families who have been bereaved or torn apart, the homes that have been destroyed, and the livelihoods that have been ruined.
I can only imagine the pain and suffering that the people of Maiduguri are going through right now. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I hope that they find the strength and resilience to get through this difficult time.

Obi is just another politician leveling up his scorecard. That in no way means he will perform any better than he did when he was governor of Anambra State. The same we see happening in the case of Tinubu is what we are likely to see happen if Obi, Kwakwanso, Atiku, and any other politician of at least the last 25 years if given yet another chance in government. These men are politicians and not doers; Nigeria needs doers, not showmen/actors.

Bandirao:
■ What about the human development index?
Every development not affecting the common man is very useless you can't choke people to sacrifice to make this useless gain, did you know how many people where killed and displaced by ragtags Bandit who are every where In tik tok and Facebook that can be arrested easily? Did you are aware that some families now survived on grass like a famine ravaged community all because of the anti people policies implemented by this ruthless regime
Thunder fire every development not reflecting positively to Common men

For where? About 50 million Nigerians have been plunged into poverty in the 15 months that Tinubu has taken office and an estimated 88.4 million Nigerians are living in extreme poverty as a result, about 90.8% of Nigerians live below the upper middle-income poverty threshold of $6.85 per day. But it all does not matter at all to the Nigerian economists and politicians.

Victims of EndbadGovernance Protest Blames Sowore
... Warns Against October 1 Protest
Group under aegis of Victims of #EndBad Governance Protest(VEGP) have blamed Human Rights Activist and Politician, Mr.Omoyele Sowore for the unfortunate killings of innocent protesters during the ten days nationwide protest across the country .
The victims, who claimed were misled to embark on the nationwide protest warned against the dire consequences of another protest that will further endanger and impoverish citizens.
The #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest did fizzle out with many Nigerians, especially in the north with wounds, scars and financial losses.

Beware of Fake NGOs set up and bankrolled by politicians to manipulate public sentiments and further entrench their rule over the minds of the people.
