Just fast forward to 20:17 and see how people from ALL OVER THE WORLD come to HONOUR NIGERIA every year, in the SOUTH-SOUTH, yet you're all quiet. As if nothing is happening.
Cameroonian Guy Asks: ''Where are the bad roads in Nigeria that you Nigerians always complain about on social media? I haven't seen any, only Good roads!''
bassdow: Una no fit even arrange for them to open a mini plant here in the corn3 to cater for servicing and repairs and parts. We keep providing JOBs and Employment for corn3s wey no worship God reach us
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MASSIVE TRAIN MANUFACTURING PLANT BUILT BY THE CHINESE IN KAJOLA, OGUN STATE.
LordBiden: Subsidy removal the worst decision of the tinubu government,these are policies sponsored by world bank to impoverish Africa.
They said the savings from subsidy was shared to governors,but when you look at it properly you notice the savings has been eroded by high exchange rate.
There are ways government can generate funds without having to remove subsidy.
For instance the ultra wealthy can be taxed like a tax on those earning between 500k and above.
THIS IS SUCH A CRAZY THREAD AND TOPIC CHARACTERISED BY IGNORANCE.
NIGERIA WAS BORROWING TO PAY THE FUEL SUBSIDIES!!
BUHARI IN HIS FINAL YEAR IN OFFICE BORROWED $10 BILLION FOR SUBSIDIES, AND IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR'S BUDGET TINUBU INHERITED, THERE WAS NO PROVISION FOR FUEL SUBSIDIES MEANING TINUBU WOULD HAVE HAD TO BORROW $10 BILLION, AND HE SAID NO!
SAME WAY PETER OBI CALLED IT A SCAM THAT HE WOULD END "ON DAY ONE"!
SO THE "BENEFIT" IS THAT WE ARE NO LONGER COMMITTING NATIONAL SUICIDE BY BORROWING $10 BILLION A YEAR TO PAY FUEL SUBSIDIES!
BORROWING IS FOR BUILDING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, NOT FUEL SUBSIDIES!!
WizardOfNG: Rubbish. If I ask you, for example, what is behind the poor state of power supply lately, when such is a simple and straightforward problem that has nothing at all to do with the Tinubu Government , would you be able to identify this problem? I doubt it.
Would it surprise you to know that most reasonable, solution-seeking, mature, objective and informed Nigeria are aware of this particular problem that makes them understand the burden Tinubu is carrying and has not fled from addressing as others before him did?
Many of you are part of the problem and you will keep rewarding leaders who cannot take you forward because of 'quick fix' mentality that prevents you educating yourselves to see what is obvious.
Which, in the case of Nigeria, is that a wound that biologically takes six months to heal cannot defy how the body natural repair system works to be fully healed in 5 days.
givedemwotowoto: Why are Iranian leaders who killed over 30,000 of their citizens in just a few months since December 2025, suddenly supporting the Pope?
Come on mehn.... I swear, you guys don't know what you are missing by not having those roads built the right way.
Just look at that road one more time. Imagine it with wide sidewalks on both sides, and drains covered.
Do you know you can go jogging and even walk 5 kilometres and back on that road without noticing?
Can you happily walk even 1km on that road as it is like that, without looking for okada or keke?
What about children? The elderly? The disabled?
Don't they deserve a nice wide sidewalk without caring about falling into a gutter, or getting run over because they are forced to walk on the tarred road?
It's because we ignore pedestrian infrastructure that everyone wants to own a car or use public transport for even the shortest trip.
Because we've made walking tantamount to 'suffering'.
Meanwhile walking is so healthy, and should be a pleasure!
dangermouse: Your post is rather pathetic since you are blind not to see the sidewalks on both sidesof the road.
Building a closed gutter requires a central underground system of where the gutters would be channeled to.
you can only achieve that 100% before properties are erected. it is difficult where properties have already been erected and demolitions must occur if you want to achieve that.
Soludo is doing his best and must be given kudos.
THIS IS A BIG FAT LIE.
There are cities all over the world, especially in Asia, including Japan, China, India, that lacked sidewalks and covered drains even as late as the 1990s. But go there today and it's a different story. They worked around the issue, and there were no mass demolitions of property.
Even LAGOS has renovated roads in residential areas and done the same.
callthefred: You're very right though. However are you saying this is sincerely or out of hatred for Soludo because if Obi had fixed a major town like Nnewi Soludo wouldn't be needing to do that.
ottersberger: Pope Leo XIV is currently on an 11-day tour of Africa, with stops in Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea. The visit has taken him into some of the continent’s most politically and socially sensitive regions, including Bamenda in Cameroon’s troubled Anglophone zone, where separatist violence has raged for nearly a decade. The Vatican has framed the trip around themes of peace, justice, and solidarity with suffering communities.
Yet one glaring omission has not gone unnoticed: Nigeria is not on the itinerary.
For Africa’s most populous nation, home to one of the largest Christian populations on the continent and the largest Catholic population in Africa after the DRC, such an exclusion is remarkable. It is difficult to recall a major papal visit to Africa in modern times where Nigeria, often considered central to African Christianity, was entirely bypassed.
The symbolism is impossible to ignore.
While no official reason has been given for Nigeria’s omission, many observers will understandably interpret it as an indictment of the Nigerian state. A nation plagued by chronic insecurity, failed governance, and relentless persecution of Christian communities, particularly in the Middle Belt and northern regions. For years, churches have been bombed, priests kidnapped, seminarians murdered, and farming communities attacked with alarming regularity, often with little meaningful response from the federal government.
That the Pope has chosen to visit neighboring Cameroon, including conflict-ridden Bamenda, but not Nigeria, sends a message whether intended or not.
Cameroon has its own instability. Equatorial Guinea is no model democracy. Yet Nigeria, with its enormous Christian population, strategic importance, and worsening record on religious violence has been left off the list entirely.
This should be deeply embarrassing for the Nigerian political class.
A country once regarded as the “Giant of Africa” is increasingly viewed internationally through the lens of insecurity, elite corruption, and state capture and incapacity. Under successive administrations, Nigeria has normalized mass killings, communal displacement, and brazen attacks on houses of worship, while officials offer little beyond recycled talking points and empty condemnations.
One cannot help but ask:
What does it say about Nigeria’s standing when the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics visits the region but deliberately or prudently keeps his distance from Africa’s largest Christian nation?.
Whether by diplomatic caution, security calculation, or quiet protest, Nigeria’s absence from Pope Leo XIV’s itinerary is a sobering reflection of how far the country’s image has deteriorated.
The Vatican may never publicly say so. It rarely does. But actions speak louder than press statements.
A papal tour through Africa that includes Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea, but excludes Nigeria, amounts to a statement in itself.
Nigeria should not merely wonder why it was omitted.
It should reflect on what it has become.

OH PLEASE SPARE US THIS GARBAGE.
IS CATHOLIC OR CHRISTIANITY AFRICAN RELIGION?
DID YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEFORE COLONISERS INVADED WITH GUNS AND BOMBS LESS THAN A CENTURY AGO?
DIDN'T YOUR PEOPLE KNOW GOD BEFORE THEY CAME?
DID YOU NOT HAVE A NAME FOR THE ALMIGHTY BEFORE YOU WERE INVADED BY COLONIAL PLUNDERERS?
HOW IS IT NOW A "DISGRACE" THAT THEIR POPE DID NOT VISIT YOU?
DrWokili: THE FACT THAT JULIUS MALEMA BAGGED A 5-YEAR JAIL TERM FROM THE LAW COURT, SHOWS THAT SOUTH AFRICA IS A FUNCTIONING STATE WHERE THE RULE OF LAW RULES!.
IN NIGERIA, BY CONTRAST, DETERRENT LAWS ARE PROTECTIVE AND PALLIES OF THE ESTABLISHED CRIMINALS WITH INSATIABLE APPETITES, BUT ARE HARSH TO, AND SWORN ENEMIES OF THE PETTY, STRUGGLING, POOR THIEVES.
IT IS A COUNTRY WHERE THE SECURITY APPARATUSES CORDON OFF THE VENGEANCE OF LAW TO PROTECT THE HIGH-CLASS REAL CRIMINALS, SEATED AT THE HIGH TOWERS, DISPENSING POWER FROM WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT, TO INFLUENCE EVENTS ACROSS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, AND RELIGIOUS STRATA OF THE SOCIETY.
THEIR KINGDOMS ARE DOMICILED ACROSS ALL REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY.
anonimi: What makes the Mugabe wannabe the only reasonable politician in SA?
Are you able and willing to provide details
ZIMBABWEANS CHERISH AND APPRECIATE WHAT MUGABE DID BY REDISTRIBUTING THE LAND TO THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE WHITE MINORITY THAT PREVIOUSLY OWNED 90% OF THEIR LAND.
HE WAS CALLED A "DICTATOR" AND DEMONISED BY THE WEST, WHICH IS WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO WHEN YOU CHALLENGE THEIR THIEVERY.
JUST LIKE THEY BRAND IRAN "TERRORIST" FOR CHALLENGING THEIR THEFT OF PALESTINIAN AND ARAB LANDS IN THEIR QUEST FOR "GREATER ISRAEL".
The problem with America is How can anyone trust them?
Are they sincere??
What if they want this guy out because he resisted their sabotage attempts?
You just can never tell with these westerners, especially when they start pokenosing into your affairs and telling you who should be your minister or leader.
LagosOrigin: Sounds like something an impostor would say.
Let me tell you something you haters of South East, so many good things are happening in Igbo land this days . This set of south east governors are working so hard to outshine the other in development and we are happy.
Buhari led APC government did everything to destroy south east by God disgraced him instead.
No more sit at home in south east.
Peace has returned all around the south east region.
Business are booming and it's progress everywhere .
The governors are doing excellently well and we are happy here.
God will continue to shame the haters of South East like he shamed buhari .
So you don't care for proper infrastructure?
You want to remain ghetto forever?
Do you know the worst slums in the western world you worship so much, have sidewalks with covered drains?
Why not just make your environment like theirs, so you don't need to worship them?
BeautifulMind2: I guess you are not seeing will not to notice the pedestrian walkway?
That is not how you build a walkway oga. See how messy the whole thing looks. You must cover the drain next to the walkway so it becomes a nice wide sidewalk.
If you built that road right, you will even have people going jogging on it. Going for long casual walks of 5 kilometres and back.
You people just don't like good things in this country.
MrPresident1: Eru esu means the load or property of the devil.
The enriched uranium that Iran is holding tightly to confers no strategic advantage or leverage to them. The people of Iran have been bombed, they are suffering, there is so much pain for them all because of 450kg of somethingbthst isnutterly useless. You cannot cut a piece for example and say that you want to sell to Belgium. It is not useful for any single thing in the world. It just focusses all Tue wrong ebpnergy and attention on you. By possessing eru esu , Esau will not admit you into its exclusive club of wickedness; President Trump has been very unequivocal that you will not be allowed to have nuclear bombs of mass destruction, and you will not have thst exclusiveness that belongs to only the prime nations of this satanic world.
So what use is eru esu to you?
Agree to transfer the eru esu to Russia, don't even agree to dilution. Just hand over the devil's property to his children an fee yourself from satanic yoke.
Look toward your Kurdish brethren and form a strategic no limits alliance with them in the rebirth of Medo-Persia and reclaim your pride among the nations.
QuinQQ: We are not talking of ancient history. Islamists came to power 1979. That's long enough time to get your act together, NOT always trying to build nukes and hiding it
USE YOUR BRAIN.
THERE IS NOTHING 'ANCIENT' ABOUT 1953.
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A LITTLE BOY BORN YESTERDAY DOESN'T MEAN THE WORLD STARTED WHEN YOU WERE BORN, OKAY?
QuinQQ: Start from the beginning. It started with Iran sponsoring terror groups, then Iran killing thousands of protesters ignoring Trump's warnings, then Iran refusing to allow UN to inspect their nuke facilities
START FROM THE BEGINNING.
IRAN WAS A PEACEFUL DEMOCRATC COUNTRY UNTIL 1953 WHEN AMERICA SPONSORED A COUP AGAINST THEIR DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER, Mohammad Mosaddegh, WHO WAS REMOVED BECAUSE HE REJECTED WESTERN ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION. THAT WAS WHEN THE SHAH OF IRAN WAS INSTALLED, A WESTERN STOOGE WHO WAS THEN OVERTHROWN BY THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION OF THE AYATOLLAHS IN 1979.
SO THE AYATOLLAHS ARE A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF AND RESISTANCE TO US AND WESTERN IMPERIALISM IN IRAN.
THEY DIDN'T ARISE OUT OF NOTHING.
SO YOU CAN CALL THEM ''TERRORISTS'' ALL DAY, THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
PLUS TRUMP OPENLY ADMITTED HE SENT GUNS TO PROTESTERS IN IRAN WHO WERE SHOOTING AT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN THE AMERICAN SPONSORED ''PROTESTS'', SO OF COURSE THEY WOULD BE SHOT BACK!
SIT THERE AND LET YOURSELF BE DECEIVED BY WESTERN PROPAGANDA, YOU HEAR?
writetopoka: Without American this world would have ended by now.
Islamic country are just tormenting the whole world front and back
YOUR HEAD IS UPSIDE DOWN.
SOMEBODY SHOULD KNOCK ON YOUR HEAD AND REMIND YOU THAT THIS ALL STARTED WITH AN UNPROVOKED AMERICAN AND ISRAELI INVASION AND BOMBARDMENT OF IRAN IN VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
SO THE INVASION IS A WAR CRIME.
SO DON'T COME IN HERE PROMOTING WAR CRIMES AND THE MASS MURDER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS.
