RandDigital:It looks eco-friendly and aesthetically sound. The Germans have a knack for eco-friendly initiatives. That's a nice one from BMW. |
FuglyGurl:I earlier read this Omoyele Sowore publication claiming this Atiku guy was intimidated by the DSS to apologize. It MUST be emphasized here that Omoyele Sowore himself has admitted in official media interviews that he is NOT a trained journalist and that "he is just a trouble maker," so, it's very CLEAR that what Omoyele (and his highly IRRESPONSIBLE team, if he even has a team) have been writing these last 3-4 years are majorly FAKE news and disinformation. I have long stopped seeing Omoyele Sowore and Sahara Reporters as credible sources of information like from the early 2000s till the 2010s when Omoyele Sowore was more credible because just this year of 2025 alone, I have detected up to 6 CLEAR lies published by Omoyele. Everything Omoyele Sowore writes must be cross-checked FIRST. Omoyele likes to engage in innuendoes without carrying out thorough due diligence before publication of his crappily done reports. Even the other online publication called Peoples Gazette is far WORSE and evil because those ones deliberately spread mass disinformation right from their headlines and twist or mangle people's real words to manipulate the largely unthinking and gullible masses. |
Af0nja2:There are just way too many people engaging in name-dropping in order to sound important. If it's true that the other young NANS guy called Ladoja allegedly told him (Atiku who is said to be a 50-year-old) all that, then then it's clearly name-dropping by Ladoja and he must be interogated and stripped of his NANS leadership, BUT I CLEARLY don't believe this person now offering these apologies to 'Seyi because he lied earlier in the so-called called video against 'Seyi. As usual, I read the Omoyele Sowore publication on another thread claiming this Atiku guy was intimidated by the DSS to apologize. It MUST be emphasized here that Omoyele Sowore himself has admitted in official media that he is NOT a trained journalist, so, it's very CLEAR that what Omoyele (and his highly IRRESPONSIBLE team, if he even has a team) have been writing these last 3-4 years are majorly FAKE news and disinformation. I have stopped seeing Omoyele Sowore and Sahara Reporters as credible sources of information like from the early 2000s till the 2010s when Omoyele Sowore was more credible because just this year of 2025 alone, I have detected up to 6 CLEAR lies published by Omoyele.

zero8zero:The article above further emphasizes the risks in speculative food and commodities arbitraging. Second, the bolded sections of the post above reveals the greed in a lot of these traders. The man was clearly expecting food items such as his hoarded/stored beans to be expensive at this time of the year so that his fellow Eastern Nigeria or Enugu residents can pay heavily through their nostrils! It serves his greed glands right. He can either choose to sell his beans at a loss after borrowing money to buy the bags of beans or go ahead and eat them up with his immediate family. Period. |

gare:Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu is a technocrat who worked as an investment banker and rose to the prestigious senior rank of a bank treasurer before joining to serve Lagos State in various capacities as the first ever Chairperson of the hugely successful Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), then a Commissioner, and now a serving Governor of Lagos State. You can check more via a simple Google search online for his resume to get more insights about his brilliant background. |

GistMedia0:Please get rid of the very annoying FAKE AI-generated American accent you always use for your video narratives. What's the meaning of "Ak-ra" with this fake AI-generated American accent in the video? "A-ka-ra" is more like it! This video ALSO CLEARLY shows no evidence of young corpers queuing up for pap and akara. Where is the person serving akara in the video? Enough of these kinds of unverified, fake news stories by some of you YouTubers. |
bewisemasses:Your post right above is historically FALSE and highly IRRESPONSIBLE! You must be careful because online defamation worldwide is a criminal offence subject to major fines and jail terms after facing court judgements. You CANNOT claim to be fighting for truth and justice by telling blatant LIES on an open discussion forum with your full chest at the same time! The relentless defamatory insults and disinformation on NL and other online platforms being pushed by people like you and those paid ipob online troll farms [FALSELY and criminally defaming the now President Bola Tinubu with misleading terms such as "drug baron, drug and cocaine sniffer, Iragbiji druggie, Pablo, etc] despite prior corrections for years now will NOT be tolerated and MUST be stopped on NL. It's NOT true that the U.S-educated Bola Tinubu (who is a chartered accountant, auditor, and technocrat who rose to the senior rank of a treasurer at the prestigious multinational oil and gas corporation Mobil Nigeria (now ExxonMobil) has EVER been convicted in the United States of being a drug baron. As far back as 1993, the U.S. Federal authorities cleared Tinubu of any wrongdoings and even in 2003, the United States Embassy in Lagos State through the then Legal Attache of the United States Embassy, Michael H. Bonner CLEARLY stated in an official document ATTACHED right BELOW that the then Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State wasn't wanted for any drug crimes in the United States and has NEVER been convicted of any crimes in the United States based off of the information in the "FBI National Crime Information Center" or NCIC, which is the CENTRAL database containing the names of all convicted people in the entire history of the United States.

dettolgel:Interesting insights. |
beerfraud:This highly irresponsible criminal with roots from the South East of Nigeria has gotten himself into a deep maze right now through his sale and personal usage of hard drugs in India. He'll have to face the Indian criminal justice system and accept the consequences. Period. |
Great100000: The price of a 50kg bag of rice has dropped to N58,000 in some parts of Nigeria, particularly around remote areas, amid imports from the Republic of Benin, a report by S&P Global has said. The report said that the West African parboiled rice market has slumped to a near two-year low as supplies flood into regional markets following India’s removal of export duties on parboiled rice. A 50kg bag of rice has dropped from N80,000 to N58,000 as a result of the influx of the commodity to neighbouring Benin Republic, from where it enters Nigeria. Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity, reports that the influx of lower-priced rice from India has filled warehouses to capacity in Benin, according to market participants. Between September and December, India was said to have exported approximately 2.11 million metric tonnes of parboiled rice to West Africa, up sharply from 720,000 metric tonnes in the same period of 2023. According to the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, in 2024 as a whole, India exported 5.35 million metric tonnes of parboiled rice to West Africa, up from 3.9 million metric tonnes in 2023. Commenting, a trader based in Togo said the current situation in almost every region of West Africa is the same, quiet and bearish. As Nigeria, the largest rice market for Benin, continues to illegally import rice from Benin, both local and imported rice prices in Nigeria have plummeted over the past two weeks. It was said that the price for a 50kg local rice had dropped from N80,000 or N90,000 to N60,000, while Indian imported rice prices have dropped to N80,000. “Despite the price decline, demand has not risen correspondingly. With prices continuing to slide daily, buyers are adopting a cautious approach, waiting for stabilisation before making purchases,” the report said. A trader based in Benin said demand was only likely to increase once the Christmas season comes into focus around September. Our correspondent reports that Nigeria is the major consumer of rice imported into the Benin Republic. In border communities in Ogun, the staple sells at prices below N50,000 due to the proximity of their communities to the Benin Republic. Despite the ban on the importation of rice, the commodity remains the most smuggled product, even as the Nigerian Customs Service has sleepless nights battling rice smugglers.

AnambraPeople:@anambrapeople The global or universal standard used here is that if a man or woman is NOT a Forbes-listed OR a Bloomberg Billionaires Index-listed certified USD billionaire, then he or she is NOT a billionaire! There have ONLY been 8 legitimate and real Forbes and Bloomberg Billionaires Index-listed billionaires of Nigerian descent ever namely, Aliko Dangote, Michael Adenuga, Abdulsamad Rabiu, Bayo Ogunlesi, Femi Otedola, Tope Awotona, Folorunso Alakija, and Wemimo Abbey of Esusu Financial. Therefore the man in your story and video is NOT a USD billionaire but simply a USD millionaire or USD multimillionaire in reality because he is NOT listed on Forbes or Bloomberg Billionaires Index-listed. The personal net worth of people in Nigeria and worldwide is calculated in a strong world currency such as the USD NOT Naira. Take note of this. You all MUST learn to take corrections so you don't end up looking like illiterates to well-informed folks, especially some of you bloggers and YouTubers of Anambra origin who have uploaded a lot of misleading and crappy videos online bragging and falsely claiming that every known and unknown person with a suspicious or opaque background is a "billionaire" and the term "billionaire" is being seriously abused to describe every man that claims to have money from Anambra State (whether legit money or not from hard drugs or fraud). You all have to STOP this highly irresponsible and illiterate behavior. Period. |

Beremx:A predictable response. About 95% of registered South East voters voted for their kinsman Peter Obi while in other Nigerian regions, the votes were spread out among all the 2023 Presidential candidates. Atiku Abubakar won Osun State narrowly with Tinubu coming second, Peter won Lagos State followed closely by the now President Bola Tinubu, especially because of the members of the Xtian faith among the Yoruba swing votes in Lagos State. BUT the South East predictably largely voted in one direction for Peter. Again, according to INEC, 250,000 voter cards were transferred to Lagos State from the South East shortly before the 2023 Presidential cycle with the intention to probably influence the elections in Lagos. |
RedboneSmith:I had to take some time off from my busy schedule to type this. I took NOTE of everything you stated right above and agree with you on some specifics. Just for more CLARITY, the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary clearly lists "IBO" as an Anglicized and alternate form of "Igbo." Till date, I largely prefer to use the spelling Ibo by dafault (but use "Igbo" sometimes. It's my prerogative) and you MUST become aware that at NO time before the year 2000 was the spelling "Igbo" ever used widely in the mass media, official publications and literature. It was IBO we all knew over there in Nigeria. It was only AFTER the year 2000 that we started seeing "Igbo" with the letter "g" slowly creeping in. It was ONLY after the year 1900 under British Colonial rule that the spelling IBO came to be LARGELY used to group the Ngwa, Mbaise, Owere, Nkwere, Oka, Nsukka, Abriba, Aro, Ohafia, Abam, etc, and more, who had NEVER identified themselves as Ibo OR Igbo but used different clan names to identify themselves, sub-tribes and villages into a single group named and spelled as the Ibos. I will give more specifics right BELOW. NOW, the folks born in my generation or age group ONLY used the spelling "IBO" and NEVER used the spelling "Igbo" in all our educational books, official goverment documents, in all the major newspapers such as: Daily Times, Lagos Weekend, Sketch or New Nigerian, popular weekly magazines such as DRUM, including publications and books written by Ibo-speaking folks such as Zik, Chinua Achebe, and prior to the years BEFORE year 2000 (and then after the year 2000 when the spelling "Igbo" started making inroads into the mainstream publications). I have a very good memory and even in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, the novels, official goverment documents, newspapers and magazines, etc, ONLY used the spelling "IBO." It was CLEARLY much later after the year 2000 that we started seeing an alternate spelling gradually appearing. I don't know how old you are, but using the last born and youngest among all my biological siblings (He is a PhD holder born in the early 1980s, and now in his 40s) as a case study, I deduce that you were born in the early to late 1980s or part of the 1990s for you NOT to have observed OR have a recollection of these historical FACTS and spelling usage transition OR alternate use of Ibo and Igbo. So, right from (1857) with the works of the iconic linguist and Anglican clergyman Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther [He was the maternal grandfather of the father of modern Nigerian politics, Herbert Olayinka Macaulay and also a direct royal descendant (through his mother) of the Emperor or Alaafin Abiodun of the Oyo Empire], in writing the FIRST EVER primer of the Ibo language, and later in 1882, Samuel Ajayi Crowther also wrote the first comprehensive dictionary in Ibo language entitled, "Vocabulary of the Ibo Language" based on the foundations of his earlier works as of 1843 in writing the Yoruba language alphabet, Yoruba Bible, Yoruba language dictionary, etc, and he used the spelling IBO in the FIRST EVER book in Ibo language in 1857 entitled, "Isoama-Ibo: A Primer." As I stated earlier, this primer was the FIRST EVER significant literary work in the Ibo language and included Ibo alphabet, vocabulary, sentence patterns, and biblical texts, etc. He was assisted by a young Ibo interpreter named Simon Jonas. As you may already know, Igalas are today classified as a DISTINCT ethnicity who evolved over the centuries as a fusion of people of different ethnic origins, BUT Igala language is ALSO classified as a Yoruboid language alongside Itsekiri, simply because about 65% of Igala language is mutually intelligible with Yoruba language [with the rest of Igala language being partly of Idoma language origins] and the late Attah of Igalaland, Michael Ameh Oboni stated CLEARLY in a 2-page 2017 Sunday Punch interview which is still online that the Igala evolved from the fusion of migrants from Wukari (Jukunland) in modern Taraba State, who moved along the River Benue and got to the River Niger confluence where they met a SIGNIFICANT number of people of Yoruba and Edo origins, etc. So, he was merely emphasizing that Igalas have Yoruba, Wukari migrants, Edo, Idoma, etc, bloodlines over the centuries of migrations and fusions. It's NOT surprising that the iconic Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther was earlier involved in the compilation, and publication (while working on the Niger Mission) in 1854 of the FIRST EVER known written book in the Igala language entitled, "A Comparative Word-List of the Yoruba, Igala, and English Languages" provided a comparative analysis of the vocabulary of three languages while working on the Niger Mission due to the similarities (especially between Igala language and the Eastern Yoruba-speaking people who have dialects and idiolects that are closer to the main Igala language). My jaw nearly hit the floor when I FIRST saw the STRONG similarities between Yoruba words and Igala words back in the early 1990s and this is similar to the stunned and excited reactions of Samuel Ajayi Crowther in 1854 about the similarities between the two languages. It's ONLY slight spelling differences that exist between some Yoruba words in Igala language such as: "Ogun" and Ogwu for war and medicine respectively, "Egungun" and Egwugwu for masquerade "Osu" and Ochu for month, "Ise" and Iche for work, "Ose" and Oche for soap, "Se" and Che for do/create, etc, BUT Yoruba words such as "Ogede" for plantain, "Ifa" for Ifa divination, "Ona" for road, "Oma" for child, "Omi" for water, "Ina/Una" for fire, "Fa" for pull, "Oke" for hill, "Ejo" for snake, etc, are common words in Yoruba language with exactly the same meanings and spellings in Igala language! Incidentally, "Ona Imuda" is the longer original name from which the shorter name IDAH [Idah is the Igala ancestral and cultural homeland] which in Igala means "this road has ended." "Ona Imuda" is the longer form of the name "Idah" which shows another uncanny similarity between Yoruba and Igala languages in terms of the same meanings, referencing the arrival of the earliest Igala settler migrants to what is now Idah in Kogi State. That sums up the thrust of my feedback to you.
