Brendaniel:
Do you people read at all?

The government is owing most of the contractors, they have not disbursed anything to them, go and watch Umahi's own complain too...

If approvals didn’t lead to disbursements, the MOF should explain its inflows and outflows. Lack of disbursement doesn’t automatically mean the funds were stolen—especially at that scale. Open the books; there also seems to be some politicking between the ministers.

Druss:
Meanwhile the rest of Nigeria is terrorised. Did I hear they had reached as far as Ondo State last week?

Not the whole country is terrorized, but there are incursions in the South-West. While there’s no silver bullet, state police could help curb much of it early.

SmartPolician:
When we say that Tinubu brought his fellow criminals to loot this country with reckless abandon, e go be like say na insult

How can you loot what was not disbursed? Read the article again approvals were granted but no disbursement--- the MOF needs to explain how they are funding projects across the country without disbursements.

This guy's mentioned above think that trump is tinubu that is pampering Islamic terrorists for election gain

The Supreme leader terrorists of Iran didn't wait to complete his Islamic fasting before going to hell with his daughter

Pls PBAT doesn’t pamper terrorists —otherwise he won’t have allowed the Christmas strike in sokoto seat of the caliphate.

When Trump said no more talks I know things will happen.It just took a few hours?
Iran regime,Una shame dey catch me.
Trump and Nathan-nyawu have been preparing for this war for months,Oyetola didn't see this coming.

Brother Abeg nothing concern oyetola or any Nigerian plus Nigeria in this matter —we are merely on-lookers😀—-we no like Wahala Abeg.

If prices go lower than the cost of production then why wouldn’t you cut your losses and move your remaining money into another business line, thereby making food scarce and expensive in due course

How is that rocket science?

Do you know better than this former AfDB president, who won the World Food prize for his excellent work in PDP’s administration to boost food production?

I think your are not thinking this through —if prices fall as a results of cheaper alternatives and you decide to close your operations. There’s no way your absence can lead to scarcity since you didn’t cause the initial reduction in prices. You get? If imports are cheaper than local productions then we will simply imports because that increases disposable income of the people.

Ramanto:
I remember how this guy supported naira scarcity that year just because he wanted to gain power. He can never disappoint me

This was when I concluded that the opposition in 2023 are nothing but opportunists who don’t give a hoot about the Nigerian masses.

loveth360:
Making farmers to be poor,Is that the solution?


Reasonable government will help the farmers to make food cheaper.


Many ways to achieve that.

it’s a democracy majority (all Nigerians) will have their way while the minority (Nigerian farmers) will have their say.

Blunt99:
While the governor choice of words and tone was off.

I actually see reason with him.

There is no way the governor can know the impact of his policies and programs on the living of the people...

That job is for journalist...

Which makes the question poorly phrased.

What the journalist should have done is to aggregate situation report from the people and phrase them into the question - that is, after acknowledging the current progress of things in the state (if any) to balance sentiment.

The journalist question was poorly phrased
The governor reaction lacks courtesy.

You lots are irritating with this your commentary—even if PBAT I’ll still maintain same stance—it’s the job of the executive to explain the impact of their policies, projects and programs to the media. Cmon

ppogba:
Is N7200 not affordable?

A plate of Nkwobi is affordable.
3 bottles of Hero with 2 friends is affordable.

If you think education is expensive,try ignorance.

Trust me I know education is not cheap I have been advocating for a privatization of tertiary education for sometime but in these instance JAMB mandate is not really to generate but conduct exams so if they are operating at a surplus they should reduce the exams fees.

nedu666:
30b. As in 30b. So how much is Rivers, delta, akwa ibom getting

Now you see why all SS ported to APC ---the inflow aint joke plus its about to get bigger

Who audits JAMB? Considering the number of applicants each year, shouldn’t the application form be more affordable?

INEC says it needs about a trillion naira to conduct the 2027 elections. In the spirit of national cost-cutting, I humbly propose a solution: let’s simply scrap the presidential election and proceed with the others, governors, federal and state legislators, and all the remaining elective offices.

Think of the savings!

After all, why spend billions organizing a presidential contest when, apparently, the suspense level is already flat. Removing that single line item could rescue the treasury from cardiac arrest and spare everyone the stress of campaign jingles, convoy traffic, and manifesto gymnastics.

Assuming a turnout of 25 million voters, the net cost per voter comes to about ₦40,000 (~$30) — extremely high compared with other countries, where it is often under $10 and sometimes less than $3. INEC owes the public an explanation for this level of expenditure.

PlasmaTV:
The guy came with cold facts, and was quite humble while dishing out deadly salvos to Seyi and his party.

Savage

It’s always easier to criticize from the opposition, which is why the current opposition seems ineffective. While the results—especially on insecurity—are far from ideal, it’s unfair to say the government has done nothing. They’ve changed service chiefs, revised strategies, increased funding, and even authorized unprecedented foreign military cooperation. Few presidents, regardless of faith, might have taken such steps. The administration appears committed to exploring every option, including state police, to strengthen security.

Kenobsky:
City is the root of all evil.
I belongs to the village.
Na only criminals full this city Bois of a gang.

When anything have to do with Chicago may be all about sniffing.

The “village boys” response to the “city boy” movement is poorly conceived and out of touch. No country thrives without cities, and creating empty countertrends that alienate city-dwellers ignores the fact that cities often represent hope for a better future—even for villagers. Movements should focus on addressing the real, immediate challenges people are facing.

reddingtonblack:
Lets hear word oga jare, When it comes to Tax reform and going against the wishes of Nigerians Tinubu as shown Power and more willingness to Force such policies through with a rubber-stamp assembly

We saw how he veto Nnpc Remit to Federal revenur purse


BUT when it comes to state police, Tinubu pretends he is not the Alpha n omega of Senate, He president he cant influence governors that line up at abuja airport to wave daddy oyoyo

Well, you do have a point — he’s pulled off much bigger things in my opinion, so he should be able to get this done ASAP as well.

GODISGREAT123:
Oga submit an executive bill to that effect just like you did on National Anthem

You do know it requires consent of 24 state houses of assembly right?

Richtaiwo:
One thing that truly amazes me about the packaged fraud is his apparent belief that the presidency of Nigeria is within his touching distance. How exactly?

Then there’s this hype by his headless mobs always chanting emotional slogans such as; “Does suffering not tire you?” “You chose tribe over competence!” “Think of your children’s future!”

And I’m left wondering, who exactly are you presenting as the solution? The same man who governed Anambra State for 8 years without anything to show? The very one who was always receiving curses from Anambra people while he was governor of the state? Forget 2023 Anambra presidential election result. That is nothing but tribalism in full regalia.

At this point, one must ask, what do they really take the rest of us for?

It was attainable in 2023 with the right strategy and a national platform like PDP, but he lacks the political dexterity to clinch the ticket.

Chijeep:
I don't blame those people supporting this bad government.
They said "if you haven't been to another person's farm you'll say it's your father's farm that's the biggest"
If they have a taste of what they called good governance they'll understand that this government is not just bad but worse

Please, I would like to know if you have ever had any semblance of the good governance, perhaps at the sub-national level, that you are trying to sell now?

chatinent:
Meaningless.
You really don't know what farming streaming mean.

His point stands because Spotify, as the source, can identify fake streams simply by analyzing listening behavior.

awesomeJ:
You're exactly right.
But let NGX have more robust regulations to avoid unnecessary issues.

From my days of programming backend engineering, we think of as many crazy scenarios as possible and make our logic accommodate them. That's how to build robust stable and sophisticated systems.

But even the most robust systems still have some weird, crazy, edge cases unhandled, what do you do then, simple, just push a new patch and have a new release/version.

If you had an app that's never been updated in the past 6 years, you can imagine how hectic your user experience would be.

So are these old NGX rules becoming, they need a little bit of refinement.

The market has changed significantly from what it was in 2019.


As a matter of fact, since the demutualization that gave birth to a stand alone Regco, the said company, whose core job is regulation has not even come up with a single new rule, not even an amendment to an old rule, yet the market keeps changing.

I put the larger blame on the NGX in this situation.

All these self-regulation when the holding structure goal is profiteering is just cosmetics, SEC should stand up to its mandate of protecting the investors as the sector regulator.

SalamRushdie:
Tunji Disu is someone a I know personally, he is a distinguished gentleman par excellence...E be like the Juju wey dey disturb Tinubu don cure like this ..Remain that failed power minister and Nigerians rejoice

I’ve been a big fan of Disu since his RRS days. I’m hopeful he can curb corruption and police extortion while improving security. That said, state policing may well emerge during his tenure, which would significantly reduce the influence of the IGP’s office.

Electricity issues are largely financial—mainly liquidity problems from non–cost-reflective tariffs. Leaving the ministry in the hands of a financial expert is the right call. A lot of heavy lifting has been done, and I expect noticeable improvements in power supply in the next few years.

FG should remove electricity subsidies and let states or LGs carry that burden if they choose. Consumers are better off on cost-reflective tariffs—provided they’re metered at the point of consumption through prepaid systems. We need universal metering and a firm national deadline to end postpaid billing. This will ensure a direct correlation between supply and revenue—because with prepaid, you don’t get paid unless you supply power—thus repositioning the customer as KING, as it should be in the value chain.

Kukutente23:
What a load of hogwash
The deductions from NNPC is being spent on exploration across the country
Their staff are from across the country
I'm surprised to hear that Nelfund is not an agent of the FG
You Sir, are not making sense

This is exactly what separates progressives from people like you. We are willing to adjust and improve the law in ways that benefit more Nigerians, rather than hide behind “strict adherence” to the law when it only serves a privileged few. We both know that not all Supreme Court judgments or laws are fully implemented for various reasons. The law exists to serve the people — not the other way around.

You’re free to make your subtle insults if you wish, but as long as the outcome puts more money in the pockets of ordinary Nigerians than the current system — which continues to pour millions of USD into a fairy oil exploration project at the expense of the Nigerian people.

“the federation” includes (FG), (SG), and (LG).

Kukutente23:
Stop writing ignorantly
An EO cannot amend an act of parliament
Who signed the act? It was the same president!!
The right thing is an amendment to the act or the act be taken to court for the court to quash it
Besides, if you say the constitution requires all revenues to be paid to Federation Account, it means even the NELFUND act is illegal since it allows 1% of NRS revenue to be remitted to NELFUND instead of the Federation Account

I’m not ignorant of the funding source of Nelfund, which I personally think will be a subject of debate in the near future especially when the expenses balloon to fuel subsidies level. But in the meantime, we can argue that the deduction is being spent by the federation (students from across the country) and not an agent of FG.

jchioma:
So, you want to compare the general elections in 2027 to LG elections in Nigeria? You obviously don’t know Nigerians then. Anything can happen, Unless, there are drastic changes and improvements, the ruling party will lose the general election, however, I agree with the point that the ADC as presently constituted are not really ready, but I expect more political mergers and coalitions in the coming months.

The 2027 election is a done deal for the APC—the economy’s trajectory is positive. Without insecurity, it’d be thanksgiving time.

Good you ask !

INEC last statement, retierating they can E transmit real time .. Is fact one

Telcos last statement , retierating Nigeria has network to facilitate E transmission in real time is fact two

Considering the duration within which the senate sent the bill and the President hurriedly signed the bill that contain over 60 pages under 24hrs .. Is common sensical to know the president skipped processes

its even a public Knowledge Senate did not meet Inec, they didnt hide it.

You’re not certain—you’re assuming. More importantly, what should matter is whether the law-making process was properly followed, not whether a presidential appointee was consulted. Besides, they were likely trying to meet a deadline.

obonujoker:
The battle is for your soul.

God has already defeated this fallen angels by casting them down to the earth from heaven and they are already signed to perdition eternally... The sorry situation is that they want to take as many as God's most loving creatures with them too, and that's why they parade themselves as gods.

Unfortunate situation is that many of God's most loving creation follow and worship them blinding.. but see the end of all rebellious creatures.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Why try to convince non-believers with the Bible? Why would they accept a book they don’t believe in?

donself9:
His really about OP being bias, who is not ?? Lets not fool ourselves everyone has a preset mindset, anything contrary to your mindset is Bias,. Even Festus keyamo accuse Nigerians of being bias

Before you teach Nigerians how Democracy work Where is the Enabling environment, look at what happened on Reps floor nd senate .. People chant Nil buh the president keep saying Hi have it .. Is that democracy

The President Tinubu was suppose to consult, Inec, attorney general & other team before Signing the electoral act Buh he skip all under 24hrs signed the bill 🤣🤣

Do we even have Democracy is it real

How do you know for a fact that He did not consult with all of them?
