As As should be

no let anyone pressure you

Good day, immediately I saw : "as should be," I laughed! Do you know that everything from decorations to cooking was on the groom? He took a bold step but he lost oh!

helinues:
Did they tell you before that the Nelfund was meant for rich kids? Since the institution fees have been increasing was there any thing like NELFUND before?

And if you are talking about interest, could you compare the Nigeria students loan interest with any major countries in the world?

Good morning, poor kids have been going to school before NELFUND came. My parents were not rich but I attended a federal Uni; all my fees from from 1st year to final year was not more than 150k because there was education subsidy, my parents didn't borrow to train 7 of us in the higher institution.

NELFUND came, education subsidy was removed and school fees jacked up hence from your position, NELFUND was for poor kids hence every kid subscribing for the scheme must be poor. God!

The social responsibility of the government is to ameliorate on the suffering of the masses, improving their basic standard of living. A debtor is a slave hence we must emancipate ourselves from mental slavery and demand for a better approach towards a meaningful living. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

helinues:
Same way it's very easy to spot comments from people suffering from whatever.

Why's the bitterness for?

Good day, let's be objective, if you are financially okay, would you go for NELFUND? The answer is: No!

In my place of work, a member of the staff came to work some months back, very happy! What happened? He echoed: " my son just received his NELFUND." The HOD and few other senior members of the staff laughed audibly, he thought they were celebrating his son's feat but it was all ridicule.

Let me be specific with you, no governor, senators both Red and green chambers, top politician have any of their children assessing NELFUND.

NELFUND is a loan and not a grant. Since the inception of the scheme, all high institutions have increase their fees and yet not all students can access it. Those unable to access the scheme will still pay the increased fees.

faceland:
Let them start campaigning. Election is less than 3 months time and no sign of presidential campaign.

APC campaign banners/flex are everywhere in Abj. Infact, this is the first time opposition parties are not allowed to actively hang their posters/flex with exorbitant price tags.

The way North is going, it will be difficult for APC to successfully intimated ppl come 2027 presidential election. APC have plan their "thing" but hunger in the land, fuel price and naira devaluation is quiet alarming.

Rest in peace legend, fortitude to bear this great loss to his immediate family and all affected by his demise.

BrokenTV:
This is total hogwash.

Good morning, he didn't have this mindset when GEJ was the president, they opinion then was that GEJ primary responsibility was to secure lives and properties but now he is trying to exonerate PBAT of any blame.

givedemwotowoto:
See how you’re crying on a thread where you should be rejoicing if truly you believe these people will vote for Tinubu

Locking Uzodinma out at the Vila propelled him to come up with this, he is doing well okay. OUK couldn't campaign for the president in Abia recently but campaigned for Otti.

Richtaiwo:
My question is; why is he not campaigning for the demented Peter Obi?

OUK is a senator under APC and as such should campaign for APC. The question should be why did he not talk about APC candidate but public canvasing vote for AO, is that not anti party activity?

15 Reasons Why I Will Be Voting For President Tinubu

27 states could not pay salaries on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju Tinubu became president. Today, all states are paying salaries.

On May 29, 2023, Nigeria was the single largest importer of refined petroleum products in Africa; today, we are the single biggest exporter of those same products in West Africa.

Nigeria had the third largest manufacturing base in Africa on May 29, 2023, after Egypt and South Africa. Today, we have overtaken South Africa for the number two spot.

Nigeria has gone from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became president, to ₦372.8 trillion during the last rebase in 2025—an addition of $67 billion in just 2 years.

Nigeria had less than 1000 students on federal government university sponsorship on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju Tinubu ascended to the throne. Today, a million Nigerian undergraduates are in school through the President's Student Loan initiative via NELFUND.

Before May 29, 2023, there were over thirty nationwide university strikes under the banner of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria. But today, we are experiencing the first administration in Nigeria's history that has NEVER had an ASUU strike!

On May 29, 2023, Nigeria's military was one of the most poorly paid on Earth. But under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, our nation has made its highest-ever investment in armaments. In 2024 alone, the Tinubu administration procured ₦520 billion worth of weaponry for our military, including 12 AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters, 5,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon Systems, APCs, and other modern armaments and protective gear. This government has invested over $1 billion in munitions to empower our security forces and keep Nigerians safe.

Additionally, the president has approved an 80% salary and wage increase for the officers and men of our security forces. This is the second time the Nigerian Armed Forces are getting a pay rise in the life of this administration.
Before May 29, 2023, when Tinubu became president, the total number of tourists visiting Nigeria was 528,000. Today, Nigeria receives 1.2 million tourists just for Detty December alone!

Our foreign reserves were less than $9 billion on May 29, 2023. Today, they are $52 billion and counting.

It took over 12 hours to travel from Calabar to Lagos on May 29, 2023. By the time the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway is complete, it will take less than 6 hours. Saving Nigerians time and money.

It currently takes 17 hours to travel from Sokoto to Lagos. The Sokoto-Illela-Badagry Superhighway will cut that time by 65%, saving Nigerians time and money.

Nigeria suffered from two recessions in the eight years immediately before President Tinubu became president on May 29, 2023. Today, we have had 14 uninterrupted cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses.

Before Asiwaju became president on May 29, 2023, our population was growing faster than our economy. Today, our economy is growing faster than our population, with 4.01% GDP growth in 2025 and a projected 4% growth this year.

Nigeria's Stock Exchange had a total value of ₦27.915 trillion on December 30, 2022, before Tinubu became president. Today, the total value of the NGX is ₦166.3 trillion, and according to Bloomberg, the Nigerian Stock Exchange is the most profitable on Earth, bar none. The NGX returned a 68% profit, overtaking South Korea's KOSPI index.

On May 29, 2023, before Asiwaju became president, the Nigerian passport was ranked 98th globally. Today, Nigeria's passport rose to 89th out of 199 countries on the Henley Passport Index. This means the Nigerian passport is STRONGER than more than half of all passports on Earth.

Tinubu till 2031.

Good evening, can we objectively talk about this copied part of your post?

"Nigeria had less than 1000 students on federal government university sponsorship on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju Tinubu ascended to the throne. Today, a million Nigerian undergraduates are in school through the President's Student Loan initiative via NELFUND."

ExudeLoveToAll:
He better correct that nonsense notion now before it becomes a norm in his home, a girl mentioned that selfish agenda as her modus operandi, that's how I withdrew until she broke up herself. Selfish women are easy to detect, the moment you watch her actions over a period of time yiu will know.

Men are also enablers of this nonsense attitude, when you tell a woman spending money is only left for the man what do you think a woman will do? Since you men have declared themselves as sacrifice lamb

Just pray you will have a genuine and committed woman as a wife; you can do away with your girlfriend but your wife is your wife.

Most men hardly talk when it comes to their home, before the guy told me, it pained him oh!

ExudeLoveToAll:
Interesting thing is that men don't complain when the woman's family come visiting, he is expected to bring more money to feed them and to still send them back with money why is it only women in this boat? It's pathetic sometimes, this is how my late uncle's wife alienated him from the family, she literally will tell yiu face to face to not come to her house until no family member goes visiting him no more because he just keeps mute while his wife went rogue.

After she has alienated everyome away that's when she went for him leading to divorce, he was still in the divorce process when he died.
The worst thing is that this woman's family members live permanently in same house and the man sponsored their higher education single handedly, built a house for their parents but won't want to see the man's relatives come visiting for an hour not to talk of a day.

Any man who allows a woman aleniate him from his family is on his own, it doesn't always end well.

A friend looked into my eyes and said: No man can know a woman because if you think you know her, another version of her will come up.

This friend said that he virtually spent over 700k during their child dedication but the dedication, the wife maintained that all the money she received was for her and her baby alone.

NB: During child dedication, majority of the gift/money goes through the
woman.

Some women can be something else oh! The problem is not that they don't help with chores but their coming.

Even the American elections is never free and fair. Trump told us everything. The only election that has ever been free and fair was Abiola's election in 1992. We should stop this hypocrisy. There was mass rigging and voters disenfranchisement in the South East but you guys don't talk about it because it favours your candidate. Who is deceiving who? He who goes to equity must come with clean hands. All is fair in elections.

Thank God you said that 1992 election was free and fair. You talk about hypocrisy and justify rigging by saying: all is fair in election.

We all are here, in which ever way Nigeria swing, it will affect all of us. My only concern is that my servings have gone down because of fall of naira. During PMB, I bought 5liters kings oil for 3700 but today, it's 18000.

The masses are not interested in macro but micro, paying external debts is good but fuel price, electricity, basic amenities are more important. PBAT need to come to terms with the reality that is on ground.

NB: Talking about South East, I'm in the FCT hence I will tell you what happens here, thank you and have a wonderful day.

mohims:
Smiles. I beg to disagree with you. Hell Rufai is a villain. He hated Christians and thought he was some demigod. Wike is more sensiblr than Hell Rufai. Do you think Wike would ever be foolish to make the type of statement Hell Rufai made about tapping the NSA's phone?

Wike already admitted how 2023 election was rigged. He has said so many things already and without fear nor concern of the masses declare that oppositions should wait till 2031.

mohims:
Hate him or love. You can't help but admire Nyerisi's political prowess!

Good morning, Wike finally took the place of El Rufai , it was El Rufai before 2023 election and now, it's Wike.

dominique:
The way Enyimba is going down, they might discover crude oil. It pains me that a club that won back-to-back CAF Champions titles a little over 2 decades ago is now struggling this badly. Kanu abeg, use the experience you gained from playing in Europe to bring this club back to its full glory.

Kanu Nwankwo is a failure, you just mentioned Enyimba win caf champions league back-to-back and you didn't mention the then chairman (Felix Anyansi Agwu) who was unceremoniously sacked just to pave way for Kanu Nwankwo.

NB: No genuine Enyimba fan/Aba resident that is happy with Kanu Nwankwo, he should resign or be fired.

BondRiv:
It was not just Nairaland. There are similar complaints on FB and Twitter (now X). He had his shortcomings.

Good morning, when Soludo came up the false alarm, he ought to have presented bank statement of the said account since he is in charge but he didn't and now PO cleared this ecological fund issue; Soludo being in the herm of affairs in Anambra have refused to refurbish us with the statement of the said account so that we will judge when and how the monies disappeared. Soludo should have his facts before coming least he will continue making mockery of himself.

Kobojunkie:
1. When you both married, did you have an agreement that required the woman to contribute to the financial burden in the marriage?

2. In the case that the marriage contract between the man and woman was entered into in the typical woman-submits-to-man, aka traditional marriage model, then it is technically unmanly or wrong for the man to require the same woman now to turn around and take over part of his manly role of being the sole provider in the marriage. 😒😒

3. You never asked her before, probably because the agreement between you two was that you would be the sole financial provider in the marriage? If that is the case, then you may want to consider renegotiating your marriage contract or something, meaning you will need to take on some of her roles in the marriage as well. 😒😒

Good morning, if you are a man, a typical Nigerian lady living with you as your wife would be happy because from your stance: all financial responsibility will be handled by you but if you are a woman, your husband will not comfortable with your stance.

I'm married with children, I takes care of all financial responsibilities but once in a while, my wife would take up few things on her own, when I appreciate her, she will remind me that she is my helpmate.

HacheNoire:
Gradually, we are getting there!

Nothing is impossible if you believe!

By the time dumb Trump is done with the world, we should be at NGN5000/liter.

Good morning, we all know that Nigeria have crude oil in abundance and Dangote refinery is still working perfectly.

The crude oil from Nigeria should be given to Dangote and America/Iran issue will definitely not affect us. I bought fuel at Lugbe, Airport Rd #1450 this morning.

My Darling Yorubas, by lexylaw09(op): 1:57am On Sep 11
The most respected tribe in the whole wide world. I am so proud of us.
If God permits me to come back to this earth, I will fight from heaven to be Yoruba again.

Good morning, the above is your post here and it was clearly stated by you that in your next generation, you would be a Yoruba again.

My question is: why are you not proud of being a Yoruba, why claiming to be Igbo in this thread? You can state your love and support for PBAT but calling yourself Igbo for whatsoever aim you want to achieve is uncalled for. Please do away with impersonation, thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

A simple question: Why is PBAT afraid of the said file being released?
The president should tell them to release the file so that oppositions will go and rest but since money is being spent just to stop the release of the file; people's curiosity is growing on daily basis.

AVAVictor1:
Mr president this is good but not enough and this can never solve transportation issues with some reasons.
1. 98% of the CNG buses bought by the federal government were shared among high political office Holder.
2. 70% of these buses are in their politicians yard idle without doing nothing.
3. 1000 CNG buses is like giving out 5 loafs of bread to 250milion people for food
How you can make it work sir.
1. The federal government should establish two (2) federal government motor parks in each local government area with about 50 buses in each park ( small and big buses)
2. Talk to the governors to do theirs, making it four parks in each local government area that is subsidized by the government.
3. Note sir. Both the federal government and state government are guilty of this, the only place people enjoy subsidized transportation services is only in Abuja and state capitals while the remaining towns and cities are not in good condition.
4. Federal Government, state government and LGA should have their own tricycle and motorcycle Parks with enough tricycles and motorcycles.
5. Sir this should not be for ceremony alone. when a governor or government is celebrating a park in a local government area that will take some people to tranverse 60km in the same LGA to get to,the local government headquarters and that is the only type of movement they move always for daily travelling,economics, business, food movement business and could not do this on subsidized transportation system but for big people that are going to Lagos,Abuja, Kano, porthacourt,warri, owerri, uyo, Calabar, even Ghana are the one enjoying the subsidized transportation. How can this help us?
Benefits.
a. It will create more jobs
b. It will reduce the transportation burden on common Nigerian
C. Give Nigeria more money.
Note: if these few points can enhance our transportation system please share or if you have the advantage of letting the president read your comments post it please. God bless Nigeria.

Good day, all your analysis look absolutely good only on paper because it can't be achieved.
1, The federal government can't open 2 motor parks in each LG in Nigeria, it's not possible. The state government can't open additional 2 motor parks in each LG in their states, it's not possible.

2, There is no transportation subsidy of any kind in Abj, few offices that have vehicles are using it to carry workers who are not in their offices and still charge the normal fare. NB: I live and work in Abj.

The only solution is to work on our fuel price, believe you me, lower fuel price will have direct positive impact on transportation fare. I buy fuel mostly and some times I enter vehicles going toward my route and pay. High cost of fuel dealt a blow on all basic needs of the masses in Nigeria.

At Jeida residential layout (Kuje), 50by50 is 9-11M. Since Wike did Kuje Rd, rent, land and properties generally have gone up. Just be careful before scammers will take advantage of you.

IamPatriotic:
Mr. Henry obviously sacrificed so much for his younger siblings, including giving up his own education so they could have a better future. Sadly, this is the reality in many large families. The eldest, especially the first son, often has to put his own dreams on hold, join his father in trading or farming, and make enormous sacrifices so the younger ones can go to school and have opportunities he never had.
That is evidently the case with Mr. Henry. He sacrificed his youth and perhaps even his own dreams for his siblings, only for Jude to grow up and repay that sacrifice with ingratitude. That kind of betrayal must hurt deeply. 😤

Good morning, Henry is their elder brother but not their first son(their first son according to Henry is a born-again type who keeps to himself.)

Henry sponsored the twins, gave them his car, was their bodyguard during shows; they promised him 20% but later didn't fulfill the promise till date.

Henry also opined that their Mom was against Jude being a part of them(musically) but the sister pleaded on Jude's behalf and he eventually took over from their Mom as their manager.

Henry maintained that Paul is the nicest guy but he feared that Jude use juju on him(this is serious.)

My greatest disappointment is that they have a brother and a sister in Lag doing nothing both only Jude, Peter and Paul are doing well, that's wickedness of the highest order.

Skodiswayze:
I lived at tigris, in maitama. Saturdays walkout and football you fit meet igp, his son, directors, shell quaters occupants, top people in positions but you can hardly know , we go still meet for farmers market. Police for abuja suppose dey use their brain but unfortunately they dont have one

Not like that okay, if they are doing their lawful duty, they will stand on their ground and people will obey.

The issue of tinted glass was an example; they stopped me and other vehicles including a director at nnpc around nnpc towers, despite our plea and inducement, they still carried out their duty.

Emdee590:
I go like that kind area oo

Not what you think because the last service charge I paid in one years was 450k. A house owner paying service charge of 450/500k per year is a glorified tenant oh but the estate serenity, security, 24/7 supermarket, 20-24 hours power supply etc ensures value for your expenses.

Richtaiwo:
I don't understand. Is it that these policemen don't know who the ICPC chairman is?

Good morning, if you live in some parts of Abj, you will understand okay. In my former estate, we play football every Saturday with Generals, directors, top ECOWAS officers and you will hardly identify anyone if they didn't tell you.

dgitrader:
PremiumTimes may I ask who is bankrolling you now?

Yorubas are indeed very sophisticated.

Let the shenanigans continue

Continuous denial of this fraud shows that the federal government is complicit: over 300 staff, budgetary allocation and approval...

This fraud is clear and open even to those doing everything to deny it and call it fake.

Seunpapa65:
The truth is that those bandits will run when you faced them they only understand violence for violence
Them get luck it wasn't ohafia sha

Ohafia will not show mercy oh! Most villages in Abia state will not take a criminal caught in the act to Police station let alone a kidnapper.

Ifeoluwadev:
But you know that takes a lot of financial and emotional responsibilities

Good morning, you told us his name but you didn't mention your name...

Did he reimburse you? Why the inconsistency in your story?

Please sit down and talk with him heart2heart and also also examine yourself where you have wrong him if there is any so that you can make amends.

Marriage is not boyfriend/girlfriend thing so you must exhaust all available means between both of you before coming to the social media.

NB: marital issues should not be discussed here, please get a counselor, thank you.

brain54:
Mustapha was a good and loyal soilder...



Putting abacha first even at the risk of his wife and family. His family was at risk and he was thinking first of abacha.


Also abacha was gasping and the man was adhering to strict protocol.

The man was a soilder's soilder.

He had the opportunity of grabbing power also after abacha's demise.


Mustapha could have been head of state if he wanted and played his card right.


I think he was too loyal and took his job too seriously to do so... or maybe he just didn't have the balls ( which I doubt)


We don't have soilder's built like this anymore!

He did absolutely well, he was a trusted CSO to late general.

nickxtra:
The North is not yet tired with this self-inflicted menace

It's quite unfortunate that you are still blaming the North even when it has entered fully in the South.

On my way to work this morning, I saw a man at the "City gate" with a banner with the inscription: "SHAME ON US, OUR CHILDREN ARE IN THE BUSH AND WE ARE GOING TO WORK." I only told a friend with me in the vehicle that the man with the inscription should have done the same while PMB was the president. School children has always been kidnapped in the past and many tagged it "Northern affair."

All parts of Nigeria is Nigeria, what affects North also affects South.

NB: Kidnapping started in the Niger-Delta region before it got to other parts of Nigeria, thank you and have a wonderful day.
