These are reasons Nigerians should occupy the streets of Abuja for days demanding the president resigns...

But no! They would mutter in their room corners and say it's not their business ND sell their land to travel an be disturbing South Africans who fight their own government for accountability...

Nigerians are not serious!!!!!

Lead the way as we follow, nna

truthera:
This case like others before it will be buried.... Nigeria is not a real country, it is a lawless zoo.... Tinubu may likely promote Gbaja once the dust settles. Nothing will change unless Nigeria is dissolved or restructured towards total regional autonomy....

Peter Obi, here and there has been their problem all these while, everyone is under a big spell from this administration even the clergymen are seeing differently. God will help us.

ARISHEM:
A country that has a rule of law will not sweep this matter under the carpet.
A country that has a rule of law and a good justice system will see to the arrests, prosecution and jail time of all those involved.
The outcome will decide if we are indeed fighting corruption or tolerating corruption

It has been like that, we are yet to hear the details surrounding the airplane that landed on the constructed road in Delta State.

BATified2023:
this so called opposition especially the obidient are so disconnected from the grassroots that they don't even understand the meaning of empowerment

They don't even understand there are poor n vulnerable people

Their own is just to make noise online, imagine one of them created a thread that he finished from covenant university and how is he supposed to sell akara

He doesn't even understand the fact that the grant they are talking about is for vulnerable people n not children from rich homes who could afford private universities.

Many of them r just arguing like retards, how can someone whose parents paid millions for tuition fee believes he's d one been refered to when we talk of 50k empowerment?

They just argue blindly n foolishly

I think, the proper caption should be, 'The reason why APC will keep rigging election in Nigeria'

Goo0dHardDick:
I went to the market 2 days ago and I saw lots of people gathered in a shop directly opposite the store where I was purchasing an item.

According to the story, policemen on mufti came all the way from Anambra State to make arrest here in SS region. They were from State CID, anambra police department or however they call it. The policemen tracked a lost phone to someone, who directed them to the person who sold it to him (with receipt), who in turn took them to the shop where he got the phone. Now the seller (the shop owner) must have bought the phone from someone a long time ago and probably because it was so cheap, he went ahead to seal the deal and then in turn sold it out.

Now the case is complicated because the seller (the shop owner) bought that phone from someone who he doesn't even know, and obviously has no receipt either. The policemen has been tracking the phone for probably over a month now until they tracked it down to SS region here and made arrest. Right now, both the buyer, the middleman and the seller have all been taken to anambra police division same day the arrest was made. Nobody knows if the phone was stolen or the original owner of the phone was kidnapped, killed or attacked.

Be careful and avoid phones without receipts, wether you're a phone seller or a customer going to purchase a phone.

God will help us in this country.

The world’s billionaire population is increasingly concentrated in a small group of global wealth hubs.

Using data from the Hurun Global Rich List 2026, this graphic ranks the cities with the most billionaires worldwide as of January 15, 2026.

While New York remains the world’s billionaire capital, Chinese cities dominate much of the leaderboard. More broadly, Asia accounts for the majority of billionaires across the cities shown, underscoring the region’s expanding influence on global wealth creation.


New York Remains the Global Billionaire Capital

New York remains the world’s billionaire capital with 146 billionaires, but the gap is narrowing. Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing now rank second, third, and fourth globally, giving China three cities within striking distance of New York’s total.


The Big Apple’s dominance is supported by Wall Street, a deep pool of financial services firms, and a thriving ecosystem of private equity, real estate, and technology companies.


City Country Number of Billionaires
1 New York 🇺🇸 United States 146
2 Shenzhen 🇨🇳 China 132
3 Shanghai 🇨🇳 China 120
4 Beijing 🇨🇳 China 107
5 London 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 102
6 Mumbai 🇮🇳 India 95
7 Hong Kong 🇭🇰 China (SAR) 88

Chinese Cities Dominate the Rankings
Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing rank second, third, and fourth globally, with 132, 120, and 107 billionaires, respectively.

China’s presence extends well beyond its largest cities.

Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Suzhou, and Ningbo also appear among the world’s leading billionaire hubs.

Altogether, eight Chinese cities appear in the ranking, accounting for 34% of all billionaires represented.

Asia Emerges as the Center of Billionaire Growth

Asia accounts for 58% of billionaires across the cities shown, making it the dominant region in the ranking.


In addition to China’s strong showing, cities such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Seoul, Jakarta, and Tokyo all rank among the world’s top billionaire centers.

India’s presence is particularly notable, with Mumbai and New Delhi both placing in the global top 11.


Traditional Wealth Centers Still Matter

Despite Asia’s rise, several long-established wealth centers remain highly influential.


London ranks fifth globally with 102 billionaires, while Moscow, Paris, Milan, Stockholm, and Istanbul all feature prominently.

In North America, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Toronto, and Palm Beach continue to attract significant concentrations of wealth.

Meanwhile, Dubai’s inclusion reflects the Middle East’s growing role as a destination for entrepreneurs, investors, and high-net-worth individuals.

Now my personal question is; where is Africa? Where is Nigeria? What is our government doing wrongly with their policies because government policies matters a lot in how citizens of a nation succeeds in wealth creation and sustenance. Imagine every successive Nigerian government tends to become worst than the previous one in reducing Nigerian people's wealth and purchasing power? How can we change this sad situation and reposition Nigeria to compete among other prosperous nations? Lagos state alone ought to have at least 20 dollar billionaires in 2026. Nigerian government need to really sit up

Because gas is expensive now and no one is ready to waste any.

Jarret Tenebe has reacted to a viral photo making the rounds during the Ekiti Guber Poll. The Edo State APC Chairman was reportedly seen with an INEC-inscribed Observer Vest during the 2026 Ekiti Governorship Election.

His reaction in summary:
1 We have a conference of APC State Chairmen and we resolved months ago that during the off-cycle elections, we will support our brothers participating.

2. He affirmed he was in Ekiti during the election.

3. He also stated that the photo was Al-generated and planted in the media by the opposition. He was neither accredited in Ekiti or anywhere

4. He said AI will spoil a lot of things in the world.

5. He said he first saw the photo on Dino Melaye's page.

6. He said Dino is trying to get back at him because he sued him for singing the old National Anthem, which has been outlawed, during one of the Coalition's protests at the INEC HQs.

The photos below should show you why you should not make your children your retirement plan. Invest in them rather than making them your retirement plan. If you abandon them while they are growing up, they might do likewise when you are old. If you did not put anything worthwhile in them as they are growing, they will reward you with same.

You go around taking random pictures of people without actually seeking their consent. If it was a sane society, you should be behind the bars.

Why Cooking Gas Is Costly in Nigeria
1. Dollar Exchange Rate
Although the gas is produced in Nigeria, much of the LPG market is priced in relation to international markets and the US dollar. When the naira weakens, gas prices tend to rise.
2. Export Market Competition
Producers can often earn more by selling gas internationally. To keep supplies in Nigeria, local buyers may have to pay prices that are competitive with export markets.
3. Storage and Distribution Costs
Gas requires specialized cylinders, storage tanks, trucks, and safety infrastructure. The cost of transporting gas from production facilities to filling plants and retailers is significant.
4. Limited Infrastructure
Nigeria has abundant gas reserves, but infrastructure for processing, storage, and distribution is still developing. Limited supply chains can contribute to higher prices.
5. Inflation and Operating Costs
The costs of running gas plants, paying staff, maintaining equipment, and transportation have all increased, and these costs are reflected in the final price consumers pay.
Why Is It Surprising?
Nigeria is home to some of the world's largest natural gas reserves. Nigeria possesses vast quantities of natural gas, yet consumers often pay high prices because having reserves underground is different from processing, storing, and delivering gas efficiently to households.
The Long-Term Outlook
The government and companies such as Nigeria LNG and Dangote Industries have promoted greater domestic gas utilization. If infrastructure, production, and distribution continue to expand, gas prices could become more stable over time, though exchange rates and global energy prices will still have an influence.
In practical terms, gas is often still more economical than kerosene or charcoal for many households because it burns more efficiently and cooks faster.

City girls, the boys are on vacation.

This has been my question since, I kept asking myself. If you ask me what Nigeria really need now, is to have peace, I would say it begins when we stop waiting for "them" and start looking at what "we" can do.
It's easy to blame politicians, and many of them deserve criticism. But peace is not built only in government offices in Abuja. It is built in our homes, churches, mosques, schools, markets, offices, and on social media.
When we choose honesty instead of cutting corners, peace grows.
When we refuse to spread rumours or fake news because it favours our tribe, religion, or political party, peace grows.
When a Christian respects a Muslim neighbour and a Muslim respects a Christian neighbour, peace grows.
When leaders put service above personal gain, peace grows.
When young people have jobs and hope for the future, peace grows.
One thing I have noticed about Nigerians is that, despite our challenges, we are naturally warm-hearted people. A traveller can arrive in a strange town and still find someone willing to help. We laugh together, celebrate together, and often stand together in difficult times. That spirit is one of our greatest strengths.
The truth is that peace is not merely the absence of war. Peace is when a father can provide for his family with dignity. It is when a young graduate believes hard work will be rewarded. It is when people can worship freely without fear. It is when justice is available to both the rich and the poor.
As people of faith, we should also pray for Nigeria. But prayer should move us to action. A person cannot pray for peace in the morning and then sow hatred in the afternoon.
Nigeria may have many problems, but she is still a nation blessed with resilient people, rich cultures, and enormous potential. If more Nigerians choose integrity over corruption, unity over division, and service over selfishness, the Nigeria we dream about will gradually become the Nigeria we live in.
Peace begins with one person, then a family, then a community, and eventually a nation. The question is not only, "How can Nigeria have peace?" but also, "What can I do today to make Nigeria a little more peaceful than it was yesterday?" 🇳🇬❤️

polycarp65:
Youths in the Afikpo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State have staged a protest over what they described as more than 25 years of electricity blackout, declaring that there would be no electoral activities in the area until power is restored.

The protesters, who marched in large numbers, lamented that despite Afikpo producing high-ranking political office holders, including the deputy governor, federal and state lawmakers, local government officials, and commissioners, the area has remained without electricity.

Speaking on behalf of the Odinma Afikpo group, Mr. Charles Otu, a journalist and social activist, said elected representatives from the area must be held accountable, stressing that constructive criticism should not be misconstrued as negativity.

“We want Afikpo Light restored. That was after over a decade. Nothing changed. In 2019, we were promised by then Governor Umahi that before the 2019 elections, Afikpo Light would be restored.

“A five-man committee was set up, made up of Afikpo sons and daughters. To date, nothing has happened. In 2022, again, this agitation came through social media: we want Afikpo light restored.

"From 2022 till now, nothing has changed. The last episode was in 2024, when this same agitation started on Facebook. That was when a famous coinage of Agui, where a bold young man spoke and said the elected people should go to wherever this electricity is having problems and fix it. We have a 133 kV substation in Amasiri. They have been working on that substation since 2001.

“Somebody born in 2001 till now is 25 years old. The person is ready to become a mother if she's a woman. If he's a boy, he's done with the university and he's now asking for employment.

“Why is it difficult to energize the African substation? The governor of Ebonyi state, Mr. Francis Nwifuru, has intervened in this matter. Gave 208 million. In 2024, they told us, they said, "Look,"

“It won't take us three months. It won't take us three months. And this light will be restored. That was where we were in 2024. This is 2026. Two years after what has happened to our people. That's why we came,” Otu said.

The protest, however, was not without internal tensions, as some community stakeholders were accused of attempting to discourage the agitation, describing it as unnecessary criticism.

“They told us they had a general assembly. And they said they don't want people to write. We were waiting for the elders to come out plain and tell us what they meant.

“What did you say? It's criticism. Is it for me, a lawmaker, asking me, a journalist, why he made an event about Afikpo electricity where he represents me and he has been in the House of Representatives for 12 years? Is that what you call criticism? If that is what Afikpo has called criticism today, I am saying that it is not criticism. And I am saying that as a journalist, even if they say they are placing a fine of 100,000 for those who write,

“It is not going to affect me. I am a journalist, and I will not be stopped. I am not going to stop talking about it; I have talked about development issues in Ebonyi for 15 years. Those who know me very well know that in 2011, since my practice, right from Ebonyi Voice till now, you are my colleagues and should bear witness to me. I have always stood for developmental journalism. What will bring development? Is our world developed in darkness? The answer is no,” he said.

Another protest leader, Mr. Iheukwumere Okogwu Otu said the demonstration was aimed at sensitizing leaders to their responsibilities, emphasizing that criticism is an essential part of governance.

“Like, these are people. And it is not a new story that for over two decades, we've not had steady lights. And the bulk of this criticism is because of this lack of electricity. A boy, a girl, or a child that is up to 15 or 20 years old doesn't know what electricity is. If light comes up and the generator is not on, the boy of 15 years will be wondering where the light is coming from. That is how bad it is. And this is a town that has a House of Rep member, deputy appropriation chairman.

“Deputy governor, what do you call it, two House of Assembly members, three commissioners, and all that you have in government? And the place has been abandoned with normalized darkness in Afikpo. And the people you see here have reduced. We were over 2,000 in the morning because it's a matter of concern. No right-thinking person would just endure this situation,” Iheukwumere said.

He further decried the lack of human and capital development in the area, noting that many graduates remain unemployed while resources are allegedly mismanaged.

“And we are saying, without this power restoration, we are not voting and won't allow anybody to campaign.

“That is our resolve. No light. No vote. No light. No vote. So that is our resolve because we've traveled and we've seen how things work. Most of the persons you're seeing here, they have masters.

"Some even have doctorate degrees. And we have somebody in the House of Rep who's seen how jobs are being gotten; the advertisements you see online and in the newspaper have already been given. They share jobs now. Where is the one for our people, our constituency? Instead, they want to keep us especially in darkness because if 500 million can be budgeted for fish into the river, is it 2 billion or 3 billion that he cannot also do it the way he did it to achieve that 500 million for our electricity?

"So it's something that is confusing. And I don't know, most of us are just helpless, especially our elders. I don't know where and how this town, a town that houses the who's who, people who are courageous, people who are brave, and I don't know where they are.

"The promise I'm making to our people, even if it's only me, is the truth; I must continue to agitate, I must continue to ask for the things that are right for the people; I can't do otherwise,” he added.

A female protester, Lady Sheravin Mbe, also told reporters that Afikpo once enjoyed electricity decades ago, recalling efforts by a former lawmaker to restore power.

“You could imagine since 1970, I think from that time till now, it should be more than 49 years. What happened now? That our children, our grandchildren, would say we don't have need of this wire; I do tell them we once had light in Afikpo.

“They now ask me what happened now. I told them I don't know. But some so-called big fish in Afikpo. Because I know there's a lady here that wanted this light and stood firm to make sure that there's light in Afikpo. And her name is Maria Udewachi; her efforts were truncated because she is a woman,” she added.

The protesters insisted that their stance remains unchanged, warning that political campaigns and voting would be resisted if the electricity issue is not urgently addressed.

Observers say the development could have implications for upcoming local government elections and the 2027 general elections if the grievances remain unresolved.

Waste of entrusted energy, as if votes really get counted.

I am feeling like this could be an STD from my partner. But I don't wanna make any accusations without being sure.

It's been over 24 hours now and I'm still feeling the burning sensation.
