I can see most landlords frowning at this law as it has empowered tenants and checkmated the excesses of landlords.

With the provision of accelerated hearing of cases in court, this is a nice development.

If both parties play their part well, I doubt if there would be issues. I was a tenant for several years across different states in Nigeria. I never owed rent for one day, even during the COVID 19 induced lockdown, I sold some of my shares at a loss in order not to miss the rent payment date. But, today, I have a tenant whom I gave 1 month free rent before his rent started counting, his rent expired since the end of September, 2025 - he has been giving one excuse or the other.

To the new law, it’s okay, but not many people will invest in building for rent again. I mean, the same property that has not given me a dime since September ending could have paid me more than X3 from FGN Bond without having to write to anybody.

Nigerians! Which one is Tinubu turned against the Fulanis? The government is doing its job, you guys are introducing tribalism, the unfortunate agent of disunity and backwardness that has kept us this way for far too long.
Well, as a northerner myself with Fulani relations, anyone who has done evil against the country should be dealt with PLEASE. You don’t kill another human being and expect to continue living; you shouldn’t also embezzle the commonwealth with impunity and think all will remain well.

May God help you, Gen. Chris! Somehow I just feel at ease with him, and also feel he is born for such a time as this. You SHALL succeed where others failed; even your mistakes will become a method many will learn from and those who want to stand against you will be fought squarely by life itself.

That's too small when compared to what lawmakers are earning

Many of those lecturers are in the same league with the politicians you refer to. If the lecturers were doing well, our industries will do better and they, the lecturers, will do better. Many of those lecturers are devils in schools, a true reflection of the evil we see in our society today. How many innovative businesses are emerging from our higher institutions today? Almost NOTHING!
The same professors that people are clamoring for now rigged some of these politicians in.

My solution, let all universities establish research clusters around the areas of strength of the state or locale they belong to, meet with the available industries there, source for external funding, where not available locally and solve real issues. Businesses will come, jobs will come, more money will come to the lecturers as well and the nation will do great.

In my view, all these perennial industrial actions won’t take ASUU, the FG or the nation anywhere! Let’s all get to work as a people and stop all these shenanigans.

You can’t cancel odogwu. M

But what about if he cancels himself? It appears he may self-destruct.

Obi is all we want. In a fair level political game Obi will win the election..

Why do you want Obi? I am asking this question genuinely. Please just think it through and respond to it with facts.

Let’s see more pictures of the property.

Sometimes I wonder how many people think. The US has been policing the world for decades now, yet crime rate is so high there. Akon once said that the number of people who die due to crime per year in Chicago alone is more than the total number of people killed by Boko Haram and its criminal gang in Nigeria, but it is underreported by the media.

KaLuCh:
Uhm? So the government should never subsidise commodities for its citizens? You do understand that's part of the government's reasonable duties?

To be cntd

Governments should subsidise commodities definitely but where it has turned to a cartel and a few goons are milking the country dry from it such that the country couldn't afford to finance it again, it had to be looked into.

What I think should be heavily subsidised now is food but not as usual. The Federal, states, local governments and wards should establish centres for purchase of food crops and sale at subsidised rate. But before then, a law should be promulgated to make corruption in that area a felony.

I think say dem must burry dead Muslim person within 24 hours.

Which day this man die?

He died on the 28th of June, 2025. In the grand scheme of things, religion is for the poor.

Embrace the WAY and be at peace!

I know that many Nigerians are going through "tough" times now, but most people going through tough times should ask themselves if the present administration put them inside it? Many of us have no in-demand skills, in a time when the world is a global village, there is hardly any better time to prosper in Nigeria than the present, not just because it's Tinubu presidency. It is a global thing!

We must understand that no president can satisfy an insatiable group of people who blame everybody else but themselves. We blamed GEJ, PMB and now BAT, trust me we will blame a PO or AAA. Yet, many have been making steady progress all through these administrations, not because of any connection, but because they have continued to build capacity.

If Nigerians vote out BAT and vote in somebody who reverses the gains made so far, may be because of media -enhanced and probably funded insecurity whose financiers would normally be retired in the next 4 years, I believe we will regret it. The current administration may not be your favourite but maturity demands that we look at the indices and the data available.

Many people supporting this Iranian regime probably don't understand. It's like the Fulani Militias killing people all over Nigeria now taking over leadership and then forcing us into hard labour and to live the way they do.

Morethan 40 years ago, these group of people ousted the legitimate leadership of Iran and has subjugated the people ever since, including exiling the Crown prince. So,if you are supporting them, remember that it may be your own turn tomorrow.

Nigeria should just try and position well by ramping up production at this time because of the Strait is destroyed by Iran most of the major oil producers in the Middle-East will not be able to transport their products.

Sacrity:
See people who have not eaten for days insulting a man that is defending their right. Tufiakwa.

Peter Obi was either deliberately manipulating facts or outrightly unintelligent, with due respect.

If Nigeria's GDP was $364B but now $188B, it should be pointed out that the $364B was based on a defended currency. FX was about 460.72/$ at the time. Meaning our real GDP was about a third of that at the time. Another way to look at is in Naira ($364B * 460.72) against ($188B * 1,551).

I want to advise Nigerians to please be smart and not allow these crooks to play them again. Obi did not mention monies that ave been paid, when they want to mention what we owe, they will quote in Naira, when they want to talk about GDP, they quote in USD.

Obi is not a saint o, the guy was swimming in money when others were fighting for Democracy under Abacha. Sole importer of some products that can be easily manufactured in Nigeria, but who would rather put his money in banks and also import goods for sale here. If he tells you that he wants to move Nigeria from consumption to production, ask him how many factories he has. If Orji Uzo Kalu, Cosmas Maduka and the likes say things like that, you should agree because they have been doing that.

Also, Nigerians should be wary of power grabbers who are running around to form a coalition. The agenda is to get back power and return the country to themselves as "a company".

Personally I believe that if Nigeria votes out the present administration, it will regret it just like many regretted voting out GEJ, even though he became too weak and unassertive.

StormpyBee:
Let Reno go and seat down! The expenditure of the road is capable of railing that South to West corridor and also South to North.

You have a point, but that has nothing to do with the issue at hand now. The issue debated was whether or not the portion of the project that was commissioned was upto 30km.

However, you can now raise the concern about the project cost, why 30km was commissioned, not even upto 47km (Phase 1)? So, commend him and his team for this fact, and then ask for more so that you don't come across as a "wailer" when you may in fact, be more patriotic than many.

I want to encourage my brothers and sisters to embrace humanity! Oneness is the key! Tribalism is a CURSE, Say NO to it! Marry from anywhere; live anywhere; liberate yourselves!

America, China, Russia and the EU are spending TRILLIONS of Dollars annually on weapons, yet many are homeless, going down with diseases around the world and so on. See the advancements in military, yet some diseases have been with us for centuries without cure. If we view the world as a nation and its peoples as a large family with diverse capabilities, ife expectancy would probably be at least 200 years! Free yourself from Tribalism and small mindedness it is a CURSE!

WiszyFraud:
Yeahh.

But the common man still finds it difficult to afford basic needs.... The president needs to do better. .

Why is the common man still finding it difficult to afford basic needs? I asked the question to help us reason things out...

I feel that we take the easy way out when we just blame whoever is at the helms of affairs. The way we are going, we may never get any leader that we will celebrate as successful until after they leave office. Think about it, most of the challenges bedeviling us in Nigeria present opportunities to any creative mind; from food to security etc.

It just seems to be that we probably need to be more responsible.

hisexcellency34:
Desperado Tinubu doesn't like opposition at all. The best way to get something from him is to criticise and abuse him

Just continue, he may settle you soon too

These days I tell Muslims around me to choose their path carefully. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE are Islamic countries, but so also are Afghanistan, Yemen and Lebanon. Unfortunately many of the poorly educated northern Muslims where I come from are choosing the path of the latter group instead of the Former's.

Why were they tested only on 2 modules? I reason that they were tested only on the Speaking and Listening modules. What happened to the other 2? It has to be complete; Writing and Reading are equally important modules.

Although I do not agree with the SP stating the facts that he made there on his seat as the No.3 person in the country, what he did may not be the priority, but they are still needed. We must understand that our needs are different. There are people whose life aspiration is to go on pilgrimage. To them, even if you build schools everywhere, it doesn't mean much. But they are also Nigerians/citizens who are equally important stakeholders.

The Stadium is of economic value... We have countries that spend huge fortune to use other nation's stadium to host matches. The livelihoods of those who worked and still maintain the stadium are also tied to it. Moreover, the hotels and other centres of commerce around the stadium would be a hive of huge economic activities when there are matches.

Additionally the residences for the governor and his deputy were equally important as many pay rent today.

And as for PO, I don't believe he can do much for Nigeria.

UHLmoving:
That Airport should have been named after Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegu Ojukwu, while the state university should have been named after Chinua Achebe.



FREE NNAMDI KANU

Free Nnamdi Kanu - Yes, because the court said so.

But why do you think the airport should be named after Ojukwu? Don't you thing Chinua Achebe was a greater son than Ojukwu?

We must stop celebrating our oppressors!

1Alex:
What and what are currently subsidised in Nigeria today?

Public education and health care are heavily subsidised too in Nigeria.

We have had a lot of ineffective leaders, some of them may have been wicked. But we must never lose sight of the benefits we enjoy from the government.

The reason a number of these benefits are not visible is because of the attitude of an average government worker. Public primary, secondary school teachers and lecturers don't want to go to class; they will gang up and start exploiting the students. Most of the funds they take from you from primary school to the end of your first degree don't go to the government. Many of these teachers will rather go and set up another business while keeping the government jobs, the University lecturers will take up jobs in neighbouring private schools and starve the students admitted to the government schools. They come back and just fix classes whenever they feel like it.

Moreover medical practitioners in government owned hospitals have their own private clinics where they attend to people. Often times, they don't do their best in the government owned institutions before referring patients to their own.

Although many will argue that the cost of goods and services are surging and these folks need to meet up because of poor pay, but it should be noted that the same greed in the average Nigerian makes this happen. People are quick to raise the prices of goods and services as soon as they hear news, but will refuse to bring it down if circumstances change. Where forced to bring it down, they will mourn.

Unfortunately, if the government begins a crackdown on these unfortunate trend, many of us will come out to shout "anti-human practices" and make the government of the day unpopular. Eventually the sharks (other politicians waiting) will ride on the ignorance of the "masses" to get to power without any solid plan to put things in order.

I will conclude by saying this, you may not like the person in helms of affairs today, but take your time and look at the other side of his actions. Ask anyone coming out today what they will do if they should get elected in 2027. Things are tough right now because the economy was restarted and repositioned in my view. I believe the pains are in the short term, in the medium to long term, if we don't go back like we did with Yaradua when he had to reverse the sale of the refineries, things will improve. Regarding the cost of fuel et al, it won't matter if it becomes affordable. South Korean Won is just about the equivalent of the Naira, yet an average person can afford a quality life there.

MONEY247:
I was speaking with a lady colleague and she shared with me a story about her husband...
According to her she said she does everything, I mean everything for her husband...
From sexual needs to food to respect to whatever you can think of...to please him.

When she discovered/suspected he was cheating she went on to learn various sexual styles, even to the extent of watching pornography... just to make the bedroom game sweet for her husband....

This man still went ahead continuing the affair outside the marriage...
She threatened to leave the marriage and call it quits when he came back to his senses...
And became the family Man...
I can tell this woman is still beautiful, she keeps herself clean and classy....

My question is this, what makes a married man to commit adultery or cheat...
Just what...

While sometimes married men tend to cheat because some wives weaponize sexual intimacy, I won't dwell on that because of your comments about the case study that you presented in your piece. So, I will talk about growing success of men and the hypergamous nature of women as key reasons many married men cheat.

Firstly, most men tend to get married at the beginning of their career and foray into wealth creation. As a result of this, they are usually very busy building their lives and climbing the success ladder. In fact, at times like these, many of them are religious, and are very committed to their partners. Significant part of their income goes into home upkeep. Nothing much is available for frivolities and they invest good portions of the little income left into personal development and emergency account. But as they have more disposal income, things tend to change as they can now afford to act on their wild desires.

In addition to the foregoing, most ladies in our society tend to get attracted to successful men, irrespective of their marital status. As husbands begin to have more and more disposable income, grow in their careers etc. they become more visible and attractive to most women. Since some of these men become managers, top leaders, captains of industries eventually, they have meetings outside of their usual places of residence and sometimes even have to go to such meetings with female colleagues and/or secretaries who have been looking for avenues to have amorous relationship with such men for various reasons. Men naturally find it difficult to resist what they see, particularly if it's the body aligns with his "specification".

As I conclude, rising disposable income plus the humongous drive of the female gender towards successful men are some of the major reasons males who have already tied the knots to cheat on their wives. It is important that married men understand that faithful wives deserve faithfulness as well, learn to be empathetic irrespective of their financial success and to create formidable boundaries against uncouth fellows.

chatinent:
Whether you support him or not, I don't really care. I'm not trying to discourage your support or separate you from your mandate. But his departing there to Rome for the Pope's demise to commiserate with them is UNNECESSARY and the height of EYE SERVICE.

A simple tribute will travel far and serve better. He's becoming an upscale Sanwo Olu because of politics, who kept on visiting every Dick, Tom, and Harry...for mere political points.


Political points aren't scored like this.


Politicians are predictable.

You are free to air your differing opinions anyways...mine is differing too.

The man is a staunch Catholic; he also went there as a private citizen. Moreover, at the moment, he doesn't occupy any political office at home that requires him to stay back. I think we should let the guy be.

These guys should be put away for life! Sometimes I wonder if we are all humans in this country. Imagine those guys that carried out the heinous act at Uromi recently graduating from de-radicalisation in the next few months and released into the Nigerian military or the society

What I will say to state governors and sane Regional leaders is to put politics aside and wipe out wild animals masquerading as humans from their forests. If you continue to play politics with these happenings, your children would become slaves tomorrow at best, and worse case scenarios, they will have no place to call home.

I wonder why these people don't understand that many of these guys have reached points of no return, they are no longer sane or aligned with reality. People that slaughtered people without a cause while shouting the name of a demon from hell that they do not understand.

christejames:
Why our own Premier universities students cannot even make a simple trip to Cameroon 🇨🇲?

Not true sir/ma.

Good job MrFixer001

Keep it up. You may just come to do something similar for us on the Island soon.

Where is this coming from?

Before accepting these politically motivated figures, we must ask:

1. What was the average number of business closures between 2019 and 2023?


2. How many new businesses, particularly indigenous ones, were established in the same period?

3. How many new companies have been registered in Nigeria over the same period (2023-2024)?


Credible data on the above will provide a clearer perspective rather than sensational claims.

As someone actively engaged with businesses in Nigeria, I can confidently say that the rate of company closures today is not as alarming as it was in past years. In fact, some previously struggling businesses have revived, and many new ones are emerging.

We must not allow politicians to manipulate us for their own interests. Prioritize your future and that of your children. Those like El-Rufai and others have secured their wealth and their children's futures using our national resources—don’t let them mislead you.

If President Tinubu is not performing well, the same people who criticized Jonathan in 2014-2015 for personal gain, these new hawks will not do any better. Back then, gullible Nigerians listened, and today, we see how much further we have fallen. Let’s think critically and not be used as political pawns.

Hello @Mrfixer001,

Congratulations on securing the job and thank you for opting to share the progress of the building project with us.

Now, kindly drop additional information on the nature of the land and how much you have budgeted for each work stage. This will be a very used information.
