This is great from makinde,thats what we have been saying that the sub nationals have a huge roll to play in helping boost the micro economy in their respective states...... provide cheap and accessible transportation, health care and education also providing efficient insfrastructure..... an oyo resident for instance that finds the high fuel prices inconvenient can take advantage of a more efficient and cheaper transportation system,also seek cheaper health care in well equiped govt hospitals compared to private and also standard well run govt schools which are more affordable......this way households can have more disposable income to cater for their livelihoods.

Not everything is tinubu,tinubu,tinubu!!

Lengthy jail time with no option for bail is what these guys deserve.........these guys are a menace that its seemingly getting more obvious that brute force is what is required to stop them....massive orientation and providing lights and cameras across all the dark spots in the state, lighting in itself alone is a form of security.

I.am tired

1) Beans - snipper or dangote cement
2) Palm oil - red dye + water
3) Fried Plantain chips - either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil+nylon to make it shiny
4) Fufu - klin ie detergent or to ferment cassava in hours instead of days
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve
6) Ice fish - industrial dye - I believe i have eaten this strange taste fish twice
7) unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals
mango ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters


Besides, Nigerian yam, beans banned across Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.

End result today is kidney and liver damage. People now die 40 to 50 years because of these. Just two generations ago our ancestorsived up to 100 and 120 years

Bros,be like nah only water we go dey drink like this o,even the pure water sef noh pure......the matter tire person!!

femi4:
The final result was cooked by inec

In your kitchen i guess......even your obi couldn't prove your claim in court and was looking like mumu when asked to tender evidence.......better go and see how you will better yourself and make the best of the renewed Nigeria rather than wasting your tine on an obi ambition thats even he knows is going nowhere.

Obidients in the mud.....Isn't this the same Landmark that obidients and their rabble rousing obi was claiming tinubu had destroyed his business and wrecked him because he was igbo........why is he still investing in Lagos as against where obidients were telling him to go.

I am really happy for the Landmark management for their resilience and believe in the Nigerian economy, they have built an empire from scratch and are a colossus in the Nigerian entertainment and tourism sector, I feel more happier seeing obidients tears and sore throaths because a Nigerian company is making progress and is proving that together we can build our economy and grow it according to the renewed hope agenda of Mr president.

This is a man that sees hope and prosperity while obidients that dont even own a shack keep crying hunger everyday and dwelling on anti Nigeria sentiments everyday of their lives.

historic:
Hands down now... Obi will beat him blue and black in a free and fair election.

A cat thinketh it self a lion is propping himself up for the mauling of hi life......even obi will laugh at your empty chest beating......dey dia make part dey wear you!!

femi4:
yes, he won in lagos despite thuggery n oro festival threat

And where di that get him to in the final results....where is the aso rock cabal to help him this time,keep dwelling on that and watch tinubu stroll into aso rock.

Lols very funny...which structures are you talking about? Structures that can't make a progressive Nigeria Structures that dont have a locus point with the well being and development of Nigeria Structures that are banking on stealing power, grabbing and running with it

Which structures are you really talking about here
The same Tinibu told you that he knew Nigerians didn't vote for him so which structures are you referring to actually??

I guess when you mentioned structures, you should expect me to feel weak , but I know the structure you meant...

STRUCTURES THAT CAUSE GLITCHES IN AN ELECTION DAY AND WAS MADE AN AMBASSADOR....

STRUCTURES THAT TURNED A PDP STATE TO AN APC STATE AND WAS LATER MADE MINISTER ...

STRUCTURES THAT WERE SAYING THE TRUTH BEFORE BUT WERE CONNERED AND MADE SPECIAL ADVISERS AND AMBASSADOR TO START SINGING ON YOUR MANHOOD WE STAND...

STRUCTURES THAT DON'T MEAN WELL FOR ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT OF NIGERIA..

STRUCTURES THAT SAW SOMEONE THREATENING ELECTORATES TO VOTE FOR THEIR CANDIDATE OR LEAVE THE VOTING WARD AND KEPT QUIET....

They are actually the structure you meant not the citizens because the citizens are already not finding it easy ....

The lies you keep regurgitating and feeding yourselves with in thise devious WhatsApp groups where your main doctrine is unbridled hate.

Where did tunubu tell you nigerians didn't vote for him,so it was obi Nigerians voted for?its really sad how slow the opposition is in critical thinking, you guys have no answers to stop tinubu.......your structureless party that doesn't even have a national secretariat is the one that wants to come and contest for national elections...... you are still living on the inglorious fluke of 23 and being absolutely unstrategic and expect miracles.... keep joking,you guys have made 27 elections the easiest for any incumbent.

Pls am i reading correctly or I dont understand this.

A Federal High Court, sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, has convicted and sentenced four persons for their involvement in a money laundering scheme involving $5,296,691 million.

The convicts; Bamidele Ayodele Emmanuel, Abdullah Oriyomi Yusuf, Garuba Fathiat Funmilayo, and Gbenro Victor Ademola were separately arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a two-count charge bordering on money laundering, contrary to the provisions of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.

Dele Oyewale, EFCC head of media and publicity in a statement on Friday said the suspects were convicted and sentenced on Wednesday, 5 July.
One of the charges against Bamidele Ayodele Emmanuel reads: “That you, BAMIDELE AYODELE EMMANUEL, between January 1 and January 31, 2025, in Lagos and within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, directly retained the sum of $826,691 (Eight Hundred and Twenty-Six Thousand, Six Hundred and Ninety-One United States Dollars) in your account, No. 0126008755, domiciled with Wema Bank, which you reasonably ought to have known formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful act, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 18 of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.”

The defendants pleaded guilty when the charges were read to them.

Following their guilty pleas, the prosecution counsel, Bilkisu Buhari, reviewed the facts of the cases before the court.

She told the court that investigations revealed the defendants sold their personal information to one Afeez Animashaun, who approached them at Mushin Market in Lagos, where they conduct their businesses.

Buhari further disclosed that investigations established that the defendants’ identities were used to incorporate College Compass Eduguide Nigeria Limited, Hortifresh Solutions Nigeria Limited, Eduboost Innovation Nigeria Limited, and Fixit Hardware and Tools Nigeria Limited, and to open corporate bank accounts, which were subsequently used by those companies to receive millions of dollars in January 2025.
She urged the court to convict the defendants as charged and impose appropriate sentences.

Delivering judgment, Justice F.N. Ogazi of found all four defendants guilty on the second count only out of the two counts preferred against them and sentenced them accordingly.

Bamidele Ayodele Emmanuel was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, followed by three months of community service.

He was also ordered to forfeit ₦1 million to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Garuba Fathiat Funmilayo received a four-month prison sentence, 15 months of community service, and was ordered to forfeit ₦1 million to the Federal Government within 72 hours.

Abdullah Oriyomi Yusuf was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, three months of community service, and ordered to forfeit ₦800,000 to the Federal Government.

Gbenro Victor Ademola was sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, three months of community service, and ordered to forfeit ₦700,000 to the Federal Government within 72 hours.

The court also ordered the convicts to partner with the EFCC in creating public awareness and advocacy on the dangers of selling and giving out personal data to other persons indiscriminately.

Why are there only SE and SS specific committees, how about the other regions or they are non existent.

PlasmaTV:
Those folks upstairs are always waiting for Obi to make a statement so they can jump on it.

Such a life.

Is that why he keeps making a fool of himself,so those upstairs can roast him.

femi4:
He is in a worse position. He cannot win a free n fair election

And its obi that will win a free and fare election? You guys delusion deserves a Guinness book record.

femi4:
23 is different from 27

He was not the president in 23

Isn't he now even in a better position than he was in 23,against all odds even within his party and the aso rock cabal,he still emerged,is it now that he has got all the powers you think obi can stop him?

The Lagos State Government says it has arrested 27 suspected hoodlums following the alleged vandalism of a newly constructed bridge linking Festac Town to Alakija.

The arrests followed a joint midnight enforcement operation by officers of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) task force after authorities uncovered the alleged destruction of critical components of the bridge.

According to a post via the X handle of the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, the operation was carried out in line with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive to clear the Lagos-Badagry Transnational Highway of environmental infractions, illegal motor parks, roadside trading and other unlawful activities

What really should be done to these guys,lengthy jail time or capital punishment?

The man is just banking on the Governors to deliver him just like what happened in rivers State on 2023 where a PDP State suddenly turned to an APC State for Presidential election but returned to a PDP State for Governorship elections...

The same thing happened during the voting stage of the election proper , where a Presidential election is taking place and National Assembly election as well but the Presidential election all of a sudden had glitches but that of National Assembly was working perfectly....

Even EYENECK had to upload video of a woman bathing into the server as election results before pulling it down as stated by one of the ECOWAS observer....


So definitely the man at the top is banking on two things now....

1. Using Governors to manipulate the returning officers of each State ....

If that couldn't yield much....

Then he will go with Glitches again ....

Build your structures and go and get ready for elections,stop making excuses for your impending loss......who are your senatorial candidates in benue state again.

femi4:
Benue is sold out for Obi..more states loading

But tinubu won benue in 23 and as we speak,all the political heavy weights in that state are with him.......tinubu will win benue again with a bigger margin.

According to obidients, he has only one vote but kwakwanso, dickson,mama pee and that very annoying one that's always wearing a white and green shirt with a black beret all have a million votes each.......January noh far,make he come quick,we wan check something.

I can tell immediately once i taste any food its in......its very common with local food sellers and restaurants......it usually leaves a sweet after taste in the mouth after eating which to me isnt often pleasant.

happney65:
Lmao

This is the most nonesensical argument I have ever heard in my life. Your Tinubu with no primary and secondary school certificate that cannot even talk with the press,Man runs away from the media. That is the Man with a higher IQ?hehehhehehehheehe.

In the little media talk,they ask him A,he is answering Z or media aides telling journalists to stop the interview because Man is old and empty .

Now they are now asking the opposition to tell them what they will do to help them out of the triple inflation and poverty they have put Nigerians into

I guessed you helped the PDP out when you were out of govt

When a Party is only involved in propaganda and lies,and does more of politicking and little governance,na wetin dey happen be this.

What is this one even saying,your incoherence is of gargantuan proportion bordering on myopia.

Obi I agree is more fluent than tinubu but fluency doesn't mean intelligence,tinubu is far more intellectually deeper in his statements than obi's superfluous rants.......give us just one line obi has offered an alternative policy to what tinubu is doing.

During campaigns in 23,tinubu had been telling you subsidy must go,forex unification,nelfund,he told you he would separate agric from livestock ministry, budget from finance ministry,he mentioned fiscal federalism in form of state police and LG autonomy etc......even atiku is far more articulate than obi.

This guy doesn't rate his obidient followers at all,he just sees them as garbage that all manner of trash can be thrown at!! Just imagine, is the guy getting more iq defficient as he is growing older or he had always been thos shallow.

Kukutente23:
So why were APClowns crying when Obidients were dragging Soyinka who isn't even a cleric?
I thought you guys were preaching respect for the opinions of others which you cried that Obidients don't do.
How come suddenly it's OK to drag a cleric for having an opinion on the states of the nation now?
Una hypocrisy long

There you go again,typical migmaroller,is soyinka a religious leader?The same right you have to support the cleric is the same right those in support of soyinka have too......quit the gaslighting!!⁶

Onaiyekan is no longer above board since he has shone his bias against tinubu.

Bluna:
Atiku knows the game. Baba no even waste time before he cry out sharp sharp.

BTW, nobody should write Atiku off in this coming election. ADC is silently gaining momentum, especially at the grassroots. I was surprised at the crowd I saw yesterday at their ward meeting in my area.

Abeg I never see anyone for the entire lagos,if you fit show me even NDC we don see but that ADC belike to dey find 1 cube of sugar from an airplane.

How much,wey the details,return the money to the authorities or the sender simple......all these wolf cry to what end really......is this what you feel can make you president!! Dey joke dey go,noh collet ur retirement benefit go siddon one place.

Kukutente23:
I don't usually understand you
Try to dey get sense
Who has been debating it forever and with who?
Maybe in your WhatsApp group sha because even during military rule and in the 70s we've had clerics from both sides intervene in political matters and discourse and I've never heard anyone question their right to do so.
Sheikh Gumi the father of the present Gumi was a popular voice in political discourse in the north in the 70s. At least we all know Pantami during Buhari’s tenure.
So who has been debating the rights of clerics to express their opinions on public issues? Cardinal Okojie was also vocal against military rule. I didn't see anyone try to stop him then.
But once a cleric speaks against your god their right to contribute to public discourse becomes a subject of debate and as usual their propaganda channel shamelessly and incompetently brings it out to discuss and fill their zone Bees head with trash.
So what's the conclusion of the debate? I guess clerics should stay off politics going forward right? Rubbish

There are countless literature and treatise on why religious leaders shouldn't get into politics,I am surprised you feign ignorance of these just to push your warped anti tinubu narrative........it is a barefaced white lie by you to deny there aren't divergent opinions on this topic.

If a religious leader no matter how highly placed arrogates the privilege to thread the thin line of political opinion then he should be ready to take whatever flaks comes along that line.......if he can criticise he should also take his own without disdain......it is your imaginable right to make your stand and its only fare to recognise those opposed to that stand.....there is nothing you can do to stop the dragging!!

n a recent Interview on TVC Entertainment, on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, Bishop Stephen Adegbite, Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission, reflected on the relationship between religious leaders and politics, urging clerics to avoid actions that could further polarize the country.

While discussing reactions to the 2023 presidential election, Adegbite recalled that "In 2023, when BAT was declared the winner, Onaiyekan said, 'He will not recognize the president.'" He argued that although individuals are entitled to their political preferences, the outcome declared by the electoral process should be respected unless overturned by the courts.

According to Adegbite, Nigerians had already voted and a president had been declared, making it important for national institutions and influential figures to recognize the constitutional process while legal challenges were ongoing. He maintained that political disagreements should not undermine confidence in democratic institutions.
The cleric also stated that religious leaders are free to support candidates of their choice but should avoid attacking or discrediting other candidates. Instead, he encouraged them to present the strengths of their preferred candidates and allow citizens to make informed decisions at the ballot box.

Beyond politics, Adegbite spoke on the influence of social media, describing it as a powerful tool that should be used responsibly. He cautioned that careless public statements can spread rapidly online, making it difficult to correct misinformation or heal divisions once they have taken root.

He concluded by encouraging Nigerians to embrace constructive dialogue, pray for those in authority, and ensure that future elections remain peaceful. He added that national unity and development would be better served when political competition is conducted with respect, tolerance, and a commitment to the country's collective progress.

Didn't GeJ agree to do a single term in 11,wasn't GEJ trying to covet the seat belonging to the north to himself at the time.......the north was angry with Gej for trying to rob them of the chance to get back to power after the death of yar adua by contesting for the 2015 elections.

The same right obi has to contest against tinubu now is same right tinubu had in 2015 to seek to contest power with gej and he defeated him by being a better strategist and player of the game......why are you being bitter,it was a fare game and someone won.......the very reason obi isn't compelled to support tinubu is the same reason tinubu had in 2015.

Even GEJ has already gotten over it and is very much good friends with tinubu,but here you are completely eaten up by hate.

And obj will come and start preaching anti corruption and how much he remained above board......bloody hypocrite who believes he is a saint......the major plank of our problem as a country thats needs to be weeded out......rabble rouser and decisive element seeking to cause confusion every where he goes.

Kukutente23:
Lol
That's why I don't watch this TVC. They are usually very dumb. Look at the banner. Should clerics be involved in political matters? Really?
You had a Pastor Osinbajo as your VP
You had a Deacon Adesina as Special adviser
Even now, you've appointed Pastors as Efcc chairman, FIRS chairman, Ministers, etc
Even the Bishop they are interviewing is a political appointee
Governors on your party platform are pastors yet a dumb media outfit is asking if clerics should be involved in political matters
TVC don't even rate their zone Bees

Whats wrong with tge question? Its a debate that has been raging forever,your opinion yiu can only adduce to and let us all have a robust discourse rather than condemning anyone's views......the bisghop being interviewed infered same sentiments you are making that you cant separate politics and governance from the church,that even the church is being held together by its own politics.......but its worthy to note that both your views isn't the universal view and there are equally so many averse to your opinion on this matter.

You need not insult or demean any one or contrary opinion .

They done start.......obi is not desperate,,its tinubu and atiku that are.........what manner of bigotry is this,same thing he was doing in 23 and someone will come out and tell me onaiyekan doesn't message is just empty talk......the agenda is already being set.

Thats how Trump used the church in america to achieve his selfish ambition.
