Luckysbab:
And who will stop the criminals from coming back to repossess the buildings after the steam has died down?

You people love to talk too much without critical thinking.

it's because you don't have a functional state. Who goes back to repossess confiscated properties in advanced societies? The effrontery to show up there again means the person is ready for a long long time in jail.

pdppower:
Why destroy the houses? Why not just seize them and convert them to something that will benefit the state later on.

our leaders lack vision. Go and see the dilapidated places we call police stations. What happens to converting these buildings to police stations? Primary schools etc?

Only leaders who lack the capacity to independently profer solution to national problems, share peanuts. You create multi-dimensional poverty, then turn around to share peanut. What can 75k do actually? Money that can't last anyone beyond 2months.

emmatex2020:
In my village alone more than 300 persons have received including my mom and brother. Go to communities and ask questions. Last year own my wife, brother and sister got paid from FG. It was 50k each, I don't do propaganda. People should try and enroll their people and stop spreading fake news about government. I was in a bus stop when someone testify that he got 75k from FG for the first time in his entire life, this guy is from South East and has vow to cast his vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.

is sharing peanut the solution to our problem? This approach is just too primitive and crude.

commoditiesnig:
To be truthful its not irrelevant. Why should road from Lagos to say Calabar/Abuja be passing different states? That's total waste of time and stress. There should be separate road for long stretch of travel

I travel from Lagos to/fro Abuja for business.. passing thru Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti/Ondo/Kogi to Abuja which you term inter-state roads are total outdated/waste of time.

Direct/coastal roads are much better, save time.. you know time is money.. Also open up communities.

In an European country, I travelled from one city to the capital, the road was just straight and decidated road, not going thru states.

so how many coastal roads are we going to build? Àbi na only Lagos deserve to get coastal road?

If I'm to go by ur assertions for fast travels, then we absolutely don't need coastal roads but rails. Spending 15trillion on coastal roads in 2025 is pure waste of money.

Kaa4:
I still find it hard to understand the wisdom behind this infrastructure expenditure. Good as it may be, we have better things to do than the amount spent or to be spent on this.

BAT's idea against the whole of the country.

Opportunity right and left.

it's an irrelevant project. If we do not have existing inter-state roads, then I'd go with the idea. But having Inter-state roads that needs urgent fixing, yet building new roads is a waste of resources.

KingRabota:
I dont think this will stop fraud
POS machines have capacity to take pictures, Why not reconfigure the devices to snap the pix of everyone making a transaction.
Criminals will have to think very carefully before doing any POS business. I

pictures won't solve anything. They will only adopt new scheme to win the system. Snap innocent people randomly and use their identity.

Even the geotagging won't do much. The only reasonable solution is ensuring every POS is tied to a business duly registered under CAC and tagged to an account. With a verification done by the financial institution every 6months.

fuckingAyaya:
The fear of Nepal is the beginning of wisdom imagine Tinubu removing tax lol

a perfect strategy to introduce the fuel tax.

This woman that talks carelessly.

She will put herself in the kind of trouble she will not be able to get out of

she's not Natasha óò. Soludo met his match.

nairalanda1:
You get what you pay for

We were and have been underpaying for power for decades. That's why it is so poor

But really you are here to play politics , not to discuss issues

Good evening. It's no use

Oga, how much do dey pay in this France you are talking about? Àbí u think we don't have Nigerians in Europe? Everything you guys exaggerate, like we are in stone age.

Electricity is currently more expensive in Nigeria than France.

nairalanda1:
Not for everyone, for band a consumers who form 20% of total electricity customer base

Meaning the sector still can't make profits from most consumers

Then a large percentage don't pay or underpay

That's why we have poor light

We get what we pay for.

I am apolitical. I have had this view since 2013.

sir, your view is wrong. Things don't work this way. You think taxing people to death automatically translates to good service. You must be kidding.

Google is there to make your comparison.

Brendaniel:
The power companies in France provided 24 hours light first before they started connecting and billing people...

even at this, how much is the kilowatt compared to Nigeria? Cost of electricity in Nigeria now is very high

nairalanda1:
Because french people are ready to pay into their power system to make it work via tax or cost reflective tarrifs..

You guys will refuse to pay or underpay or shout corruption

We get what we pay for.

I am no apc or pdp or adc supporter. This na issue way beyond politics

una go just open mouth dey talk. How much do you know they pay per kilowatt of electricity in France? Compare this to what Band A pays in the Nigeria. Do juxtapose it with our national minimum wage.

Freshtruth:
So 18 possible point can't make best looser? Bro

teams are already on 15 points with 2games to spare for them. Nigeria is currently on 11points with 2games to go.

excel101:
You meant he got the insult he's looking for, that's street talk. Gov Soludo was not voted because of mouth odour or body odour, rather to perform, the street woman could have thrown her jabs along that direction. It's obvious she has nothing to say about the governor's performance.

you'd say better when you read all the jargon Soludo has said about Obi. A sitting governor going so petty to disrepute another person he has no direct competition with. I'm certain with this he will tone down.

CaptainFM1:
I also complained about him the last match.

If you go and check my comment from the begining of this thread, I said the success of today's match will depend on his performance.

He's no where in control of the balls, his passes were horrible. He doesn't engage his brain before his feet. He's quite tardy in today's match as well.

Kudos to SA for good game management. I knew the OG will come back to bite us, but then OG is part of the game. Its the pressure the SA gave that resulted in the OG.

The entire squad do not deserve to be at the world cup.

SA did not come to play football, only came to frustrate Nigeria. They took us to their worst pitch.

Freshtruth:
Benin just has to beat Lesotho and loose to Nigeria and win their final game the will qualify for playoff . Nigeria is out of the worldcup already

qualification is not even certain for Benin. They might not be the best loser. Only 4 teams can make dat slot from 9 groups

higgs:
I am not a fan of Soludo but this level of personal attack is wrong. The woman is obviously not a lady. She is not a civilised person. It is the same way I lost respect for Reno Omokri when he attacked Tinubu to the point of personal insults.

Soludo got what he has been looking for. He has been on Obi for a while now, and Obi seems not to have his time. His match is here.

franchasofficia:
This is the just the summary of the issue and there is no end in sight.


It's going to get worse next year as Tinubu the tax master refuses to have pity on Nigerians he impoverished with his thoughtless policies by further rolling out demonic tax law that will further throw more Nigerians into poverty from January 2026.


Honestly it seems the man is demon possessed because I am struggling to understand why this man is so bent on taxing already poor and struggling Nigerians to oblivion in the name of widening Nigeria's tax net for the future, which future?

Imaginary future. No be the living they beget the future ones? Very unfortunate situation

Ballmer:
So you do not know Lagosians have priviledges they enjoy from the state ?

Try buying Fashola Home if you are noy from Lagos. You will know what priviledges are in Lagos.

is president Tinubu from Lagos? Na una dey tribalise Nigeria, na same una no gree seperate the country. We make policies and statements to divide the country, yet advertise one Nigeria.

It's better we have a divided country whr people know who they are and whr they belong, than have a quasi country we deceive ourselves with. We can't claim one Nigeria, yet do things to show we are not one.

This became more prominent under democracy.

Ballmer:
That is because we know who our enemy is n it is not the Northerners. It is the thoughtless senseless haterst who live among us, insult us, enjoy our privilegdes meant only for indigenes n remain ingrates just the way their forefathefs have been ingrates.

your privileges? Do you even know Nigeria has a constitution? Gosh

Walai:
Even though I am against the thuggery and toutism style Tinubu is using to rule Lagos, I support Yoruba people to crucify anybody calling Lagos a no mans land.
You lots should respect your host and go back to develop your region if you don't like Lagos, however, every Nigerian have every right to live anywhere in Nigeria be it Sokoto or Enugu and should not be discriminated in anyway.

can't you see you are contradicting yourself? All in a bid to indirectly attack.

Why Europe keeps opening her borders to extremists beffuddles the mind.

Europe, please keep opening your borders to Arabs. More extremists are coming.

NSK4U:
Let's assume this is the first time you are seeing people profiling crime in Nigeria. Or, you're talking against it simply because this one touched you somewhere. But I'd suggest you start with government appointed representatives/officials like the Lagos state PRO who just painted his own yesterday and one Abike Dabiri who has taken that as her stock in trade.

under this current govt, Nigeria has so decayed in tribal rivalry. It's so alarming that govt officials do this same thing.

Oyo number 1? Oluwole statistics

omoredia:
This is the same white people that they said took black people as slaves. Big lie. The white man came to save black people from other black people

and all the slaves they took were giving formal education, and their descendants doing excellently in Europe and America. The black race is cursed.

Curious345:
What could have made him fail the medical does he have HIV

the op dint copy from the right source. Boniface has a deep rooted knee injury which has a high chance of reoccurrence, this made him fail the medical.

shortgun:
It’s truly pathetic.
Tribalism remains one of the biggest reasons Africa continues to lag behind. It is a poison the colonialists planted to keep the continent weak.
Their divide-and-rule tactics still working long after they left.

colonialists dint plant anything, we just refused to grow up as a people. You see people who went through university make tribalistic statements with reckless abandon.

kingsavage:
He said you should not come to Lagos again and you are triggered?
Why?

who is he to make such statement when the constitution hasn't given him the right and power to do so?

You can always have your Lagos when you create or modify the existing constitution.

Na people dey New York

All these washed stories won't change anything.

Being smart and intelligent doesn't mean you know it all. What safety net will work? The govt has within the past two years shared monies in the name of intervention(renewed hope) to the poor, has this reduced poverty in the country? 50k or whatever pittance we share can't solve anything so far the purchasing power remains low.

Okonjo Iweala has always been pro-world bank/IMF stringent policies, so expecting anything different from her is a waste of time.
