The work he is doing is a security risk. A prominent person was killed on the same road early in the morning, possibly based on a tip off.

I still do understand how a grown up man would be on the road screaming and recording people's cars when he should be working!

I detest lazy folks! Nigerians copy almost everything they see online and replicate it here. Folks abroad ain't doing it due to hunger!

You don't know what is Israel want and what Hamas want.
Let me educate you: Israel want temporary ceasefire while Hamas want permanent ceasefire.
I hope this help

DeOTR:
So 1 of 10 persons you come across in Nigeria is living with the virus?

CrownedPhoenix:
This needs to frowned upon. Culture and traditions need to be enforced at such times as this.

Anyone who doesn't want to be buried in traditional ways has no business being Oba.

Imagine an Oba who is expected to be a keeper/preserver of traditions refusing to be buried in traditional ways.

Raf4:
Didn't he enjoy the paraphernalia and splendour of the throne? If you don't want to observe the tradition or be buried in traditional way, then opt for becoming a cleric instead of an Oba.

StUriah:
Have you forgotten that he ascended to the throne by participating in the traditional rituals? The Oba himself must have consumed ritual items in the process & I can say categorically that he was an Ogboni/Osugbo member. Otherwise, he won't become the king.

Now that he was buried according to Islamic rites, the Osugbo will proceed with proper burial according to the tradition of the Ijebu people. Whatever that needed to be taken from him would be taken. The next Oba will also be initiated & fed with souls & flesh of his predecessors.

Kushites:
No surprises. Africans sold their minds to Arabs and Europeans long ago.

Pitiful.

Politicstoday:
In 2023, Atiku, as PDP presidential candidate won 2 of the 17 states in the southern part of the country: Bayelsa and Osun states.

He is not running on that platform this time. He is going to contest on the platform of ADC.

The Bayelsa state governor who delivered the small but oil rich state to him has been asked by his assembly members to leave the party for APC and he will leave.

It is true that he has only one vote but Atiku will understand how important that one vote is when ADC fails to make any significant impact in the state in the 2027 presidential race. He will not get 25% of vote that will be cast in that state. And if a candidate who won a state in 2023 fails to get 25% four years later, then he'll understand better.

PDP will also lose that state in 2027.

In Osun state, no matter what happens, ADC will not win the state. Rather, Atiku's 11k margin in 2023 will turn to a big loss in 2027. Adeleke, if he remains in PDP or whoever APC presents in 2026 will most likely deliver the state to APC.

ADC will perform woefully in Cross River where Liyel Imoke is the leader of the coalition.

Akwa Ibom state is also already APC.

Josephine Anenih and Tom Ikimi can not pull Edo state for ADC where we have Oshiomole, Governor Okpebholo, Philip Shuaibu and others.

I do not know who they are counting on in Delta state as Atiku's running mate in 2023 has since followed Governor Sheriff to APC.

Rivers state suspended governor has since left the Atiku camp.

No one reckons with Uche Secondus and the former interim governor, Celestine Omehia in Rivers state and even Amaechi who couldn't deliver when he was not hungry.

The whole of SE will vote for Obi wherever he goes but he won't get 90-95% they wrote for him this time especially in Imo and Enugu states.

ADC will not have any significant number of votes in the SW in 2027. PDP will even do better than them.

I do not see Atiku winning any state in the south in 2027. I do not even see him getting 25% in most of those states.

In the north, Lamido will not be able to deliver Jigawa state for ADC.

Another of his top men, Mark will fail to deliver Benue state.

Tambuwal will only succeed in depleting PDP votes in Sokoto state and that will not affect APC.

Malami is more of a political liability than asset in Kebbi state.

Babangida Aliyu will be trounced by the network of Governor Bagu in Niger state.

El-Rufai will not be able to deliver Kaduna state. I have since noticed that no grassroot political mobilizer has joined him in SDP since he joined the party. Posting Aregbesola's acceptance speech as the national secretary of ADC will not give him victory in the Liberal State.

Plateau, Kogi, FCT and Nasarawa won’t follow Atiku and his ADC.

For Atiku himself to win Adamawa, he will have to do a lot of work.

PDP would have been a better platform but the party is in ruins and he doesn't possess to ability, capacity and the will to fix the party due to his self centeredness.

The truth of the matter is that these desperate man will end up making the 2027 presidential election a lot easier for the incumbent, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

i am not a tinubu supporter, but I believe your analysis. It will take more than this to stop Tinubu.

jimi4us:
Because Nigeria (NNPC) refuses to sale crude to Dangote refinery.

These independent marketers and NNPC are now taking Nigerians for a foool

Helpout12345:
Israel and west are wrong again. They have no rights to tell Iran, she cannot have nuclear weapons while Israel and west have nuclear weapons.

Everyone, Every country had rights to defend himself, herself and itself.

The west has no rights to dictate to Iran how Iran is going to defend herself against Israelli and western nuclear weapons.

AndroBlaze:
No, that would be wrong also. Airtel and Airtel Africa are different entities. One may own substantial shares in the other but that doesn't change the fact that they exist without needing the other and if the parent Airtel crashed for some reason, we in Nigeria can simply buy the public shares and keep the name or name it something else.

So no serious financial report can use that as a criteria for exclusion.

AndroBlaze:
I don't think you are right. Dangote will not be the one company listed there as Airtel Africa is actually the most valuable country on the Nigerian stock exchange.

But I agree with your methodology that he can only use publicly listed companies to come to his conclusion. Though I still think we should have more than one on that list unless he is using old data.

Bede2u:
Is Dangote cement not worth a billion? What about MTN? What about our biggest banks and oil companies?

Is Ethiopian airlines not worth a billion? Or does one billion dollar company mean something else

Kobicove:
Some of these fines are excessive and appear more as an indirect way to force the company to leave the EU area a d give room for local companies to take up the market

SpiritMoney:
It is clear to every right thinking person that those refineries are moribund.

Their purported functioning is a well crafted illusion to serve as an excuse to deprive Dangote of crude so as to guarantee their Malta plant enough supply.

Even with Dangote and the other 2 refineries, this useless govt is still issuing import licences. Fuel imports continue to rise and subsidy continues to be paid.

Who are these charlatans kidding exactly

Impecca:
Why did you return back to Naija?

MadPolitician:
After they killed Aguiyi-Ironsi for not quickly killing the Jan 15 1966 coup plotters, the system started blackmailing itself to stay relevant. They set a standard that they have to keep in order to prove that whatever they did from 1966 to 1970 were justifiable.

And so they started killing themselves at the mention of a coup. Any failed military coup then was a prelude to a slaughterfest at the bar beach. This was how the whole middle belt officers carder in the army were nearly wiped out with the Dimkas coups. Infact some of the people killed over the Dimkas coup, were shot over hearsay. Even the decree responsible for their shooting was backdated.

They basically slaughtered each other gruesomely, to prove themselves right for the peogroms and maximum bloodbath committed immediately after Ironsis killings. This has made many Nigerians to think that killings must follow any failed coup plot. But the fact is that while coup plotting is a great treasonable offence that should be punished severely for the state to function effectively, most countries around the world didn't use mass executions as antidote against it..

WhiteBalaclava:
Was vatsa planning a coup or not ?!
