One eediot was asking tauntingly what Awolowo achieved.

That question should be directed at azikwe cause there is not 1 single thing he achieved. We can see Awolowos industrial estates and companies he brought in, still active. The farm settlements that caused an explosion in cocoa exports, his free education, tv station which was turned to NTA, the oduduwa investments which still invests in developing several sectors of the economy across the southwest and still headquartered in the cocoa house in Ibadan that he built (PS - till today the SE still does not have any building of that height).
The western regional office in London which currently still houses Nigerian diplomats in the UK.

Azikwe used propaganda to convince the public with his newspaper that he was the better candidate though.

Just destroyed the foundations of the country for nothing. Still murdered all the leaders in a coup.

Misterone:
I believe this too. The guy man thought the questions were straight forward. He never knew those questions were mind readers! To determine the kind of person he is.

The questions were very straightforward. They asked a question, He lied that he won. They corrected him and insisted he answer the question. He didn’t like that and didn’t know how to get out of it.

It was in fact a very simple question that didn’t need any dilly dally from the onset. He made himself look really bad unnecessarily.

Why does he always touch interviewers when he doesn't want them to ask the questions they're asking?

He did the same in his infamous Rufai interview.

The moment Peter obi was fact checked by the European counterpart for lying he won the general elections but the man beside him corrected him that Labour Party never did well in the north east and north west.

Peter obi change the topic that he doesn’t like talking about the last…

The moment Peter obi was fact checked by the European counterpart for stating that he won the 2023 general elections. The man beside him corrected him that Labour Party never did well in the north east and north west, and that he doesn't believe Sokoto, for example, was rigged.

VAT is not an achievement.

If i tax Dangote 5 naira for a cup of garri, = VAT N5
If i tax Dangote 1 naira for a cup of garri, = VAT N1

The figures could be very real, because Southeast states tax low. Obi is famous for reducing all taxes in Anambra and still having surplus.

VAT is the same everywhere. Its federal. States cant tax low.
It just means you don't have many production/service companies in the SE.

Its good to see Awolowos industrial estates in ibadan and ikeja, which attracted big industries & companies to those states, set a good industrial foundation for Lagos and Oyo states.

That is legacy.

VAT is increasingly making up a significant portion of the nations FAAC.

Value Added Tax (VAT) typically makes up roughly 25% to 35% of the total distributable Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) revenue in Nigeria.

For example, in the June 2026 FAAC distribution, VAT accounted for about 29% of the total shared pool, generating ₦740.72 billion out of a total distributable revenue of ₦2.550 trillion.

In Nigeria, VAT is a centralized consumption tax. Companies collect and remit it to the tax authorities, but revenues are pooled at the national level and distributed to the three tiers of government.
Following recent tax reforms by the Tinubu government, the Federal Government portion of total distributable VAT was reduced to 10%.

How Remittances Work

1. Collection by FIRS/NRS: Registered businesses collect 7.5% VAT on taxable goods and services and remit it to the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS).

2. Once the gross VAT is collected and statutory deductions (like the cost of collection) are made, the net distributable VAT is shared among the 3 tiers of government at the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).

Under the revised tax sharing formula:

Federal Government: Receives 10%
State Governments (including the FCT): Receive 55%
Local Government Councils: Receive 35%

Tinubu is not an Islamic fundamentalist and is most likely 80% traditionalist, so no one cares about the MU-MU ticket.

Well, he’s right.
And unfortunately elrufai talks too much and entered their trap.

There are too many of them trying to politicize a national tragedy and rescue mission, where a military officer and amotekun officers died to rescue this 46 children.
All because they hate the president, they have become bitter and making up all sorts.

Men died.

Calling their sacrifice ‘& all the soldiers hard work ‘fake’ is evil.

This meme should be posted for all unhappy sadists.

This is a lie.
The minister of youth development clarified he was only mentioning local fabric examples and also included ankara.

He came out to debunk the news on his handle.

The way Tinubus henchmen ride for him ehn.
Don’t think any past presidents have loyal political actors from all across Nigeria like the dude.
The other democratic presidents have cabals controlling them or cabals they’re trying to please (even military men buhari and obj were always trying to please someone).
This one na dem Dey hail am as godfather.

Pic1: Former governor Fayose votes in ekiti polls.

Pic2: result update.

From the results trickling in. It’s a landslide win for APC.

PDP is coming second.

ADC had some zeros in many polling units, but they still got votes in others. The ADC candidate lost his polling unit.

NDC is nowhere. Nobody knows that party in ekiti state. lol!

Mehn of all the dull posts on front page, na your own dull pass .

You guys are too slow. You never see what’s happening until it has happened.
Many people saw the signs when obi joined ADC dt he was there to be a VP. U guys abused them and changed ur dp to ADC. Started registering as members.
Now this drama again. Una dumbness never do? When will u admit u are following a clueless person around and calling him leader.

zeuss:
Plenty letters written up there by the OP for the unknowing.

Below is the infallible truth.

1. NDC is what it is today and tomorrow only because of OBI.
Labor party and ADC will enlightened you.

2. If Obi joins boy's scout club and calls it a political party it will win any election in Nigeria even for green horn politicians.

3. Venting your hatred and bigotry for Obi only gives him free advert and introduction to others who need a change from the corrupt system many of you so desperately want to preserve.

You people are so dull. Lol

More reactions from Nigerians.

Some believe that this is a reprimand to the obidient movement that just joined the party, and it has sparked reactions on twitter.

OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY,
NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (NDC)

Second NEC Resolutions: NDC Takes Major Steps Towards Institutionalization

1. The NDC is committed to building the party as a strong and enduring institution, with emphasis on party supremacy. The programs, policies, and appointments (except personal staff) of all governments elected on the platform of the party must be made in consultation with the party structure.

The party remains supreme, and members are expected to align their personal interests and agendas with those of the party.

2. All affiliated groups and NGOs shall operate under the guidance and control of the party and must not function in parallel with, or independently of, the party structure.

3. A comprehensive Code of Conduct shall be established for all party officials and candidates. To this end, a committee has been constituted under the leadership of the National Legal Adviser to develop the framework and guidelines.

4. A National Reconciliation Committee has been inaugurated to reconcile all aggrieved members of the party.

5. The NDC is being built as an institution, not a personality cult, political movement, or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to be used and discarded.

Members are encouraged to remain committed to the party and contribute to its growth and sustainability for generations to come.

At all times, and for all candidates and aspirants, total allegiance must be to the party and the national interest.

On financial probity, the party will enforce strict accountability in the management of party resources by all officers, and party funds must be used strictly for party business.

For candidates, there must also be strict accountability for all funding received. Monies sourced by candidates at all levels, and contributions made by candidates to campaign accounts, must be fully disclosed to the party at the [quote]appropriate levels (local government, state, zonal, and national). Such funds must be received through dedicated party campaign accounts, including presidential and governorship campaign accounts of the party, as applicable.

In America, they tested some fast food stores burgers and found out the burger had no real meat in it. Just other ingredients mashed together, made to look and taste like beef.
This was a medical journal on the research, they contained only 2% - 4% meat.
