Did your Dad work for the Federal or State? When did he retire? Social Security is paid by almost all in the US, so if it runs out of money, the situation won't be bearable...and yet they are wasting money funding wars. Soldiers escort cows so they won't be killed or rustled which leads to a reprisal attack. Some of these cows are owned by locals, but they hire Fulanis because we cannot trust our own.

leave America alone does Nigeria ur beloved citizen pay pension not to talk of gratuity..my dad retired 13 yrs ago not a single pension nor gratuity thank God he had other investments before retirement most of his colleagues with no investment committed suicide .worry about Fulani killing all the farmers in Benue making food unreachable in 3 months time..worry about a country that arrest terrorist and tell the world that they have repented after 3 weeks and are released back to the forest,,worry about a country were excorts follow cows..worry abt Fulani taking over aso rock and toppling the govt..worry abt having the worst performing currency in d world,worry abt ur military,ur education and corruption..nnpc just empezoled abt 10trillion naira and Israel has not spent that amount yet

I try not to type my full AirPeace Gatwick-Nigeria experience online because of this Yoruba-Igbo drama. I am happy they are not in Heathrow, because I can never travel to Gatwick to fly AirPeace. Yes it is cheaper than the alternate...as much as $300 cheaper, but the wahala and lack of services at Gatwick made it look like a truly cheap airline.

My advice...work on baggage handling services, put customer service numbers at Gatwick or have a 24hr station and have services for your elderly passengers. Stop using old planes and make sure entertainment services work on an international flight.

Israel need not worry.. American taxpayers will be paid for the expense. We have a Congress here that has sworn allegiance to Israel. In 10yrs, Social Security will not have enough money to pay retirees and disabled folks in full.. but they can all die, because the US will still continue to fund Israel even if it cannot fund its own citizens, and the American people will keep voting the same set of politicians Lol.

Finally listened to PBAT...He got a wind of what Sanwo Olu wanted to do with his cronies. Buy up all that area for future development and resell at humongous prices maybe ...cos the President specifically mentioned it to the Deputy Gov around the same time when we clearly saw there was an issue. I am sure PBAT looking futuristic thinks all those areas should be for industries so they can move things to and from Lekki Deep SeaPort.

The mistake Israel always make is ...they think Iran is Syria. Iranians are VERY proud people. They are very well educated, but all that education means nothing when you attack their country. If you think they will not support the Govt of Iran after an Israeli's strike, you are mistaken. Missiles into Israel should be the least of Israel's concerns. There is a reason they closed all their Embassies.

I worry for Israel, because where Netanyahu is taking them, I am not sure they can recover and the World will just sit and watch Israel burn because honestly, the World sees Israel as very stubborn. Iran, NK, Russia, China...will all contribute to this war indirectly. USA may have to fight indoor with all their deportation issues and outdoor trying to save Ukraine and now Israel. Good luck...and Trump has 3yrs and 6 months to go. Iran has a lifetime.

Ridiculous statement...He is an investor. He runs a business. So Nigerians do not fire local workers abroad, abi? This is a private business. Some of these protests are politically motivated. If you have issues with the amount, organize and meet with the company heads. Protesting is trying to cause major unrest. Letting them go is the best thing for the workers...they can go and find jobs somewhere else where they can make more money. Is that not a blessing?

Dalohad:
Arabs are very autocratic and do not like to be challenged..

The workers should take that Lebanese kleptomaniac to court.

You are Lebanese, making billions of dollars from Nigerians, yet you are sacking Nigerian workers.

Can Trump tolerate that if you do it Americans? Can Arabs tolerate that if an African does that in the middle east?

I am not sure some of you understand economics.

1. You borrow so you can have cash reserves in case you need to meet obligations
2. You cannot wait for remittances to pay obligations like Salary, but you can use those fundings to plan future expenses.
3. It is called a CREDIT system. It is common in the West.
4. These funds may not be enough, but the exploration of Ogoni Lands begin soon.
5. When we start making and remitting more than budget, we will have surplus, then we can stop borrowing and pay off debt.
6. Borrowing can also help to increase capital for investments into Oil and Gas, Agriculture --- the revenues will pay off debts and expand the economy.
7. Like Peter Obi once said, the issue is not borrowing but what you are using it to do.
8. Even USA still borrows...and they control the World Capital Market...for now.

This is one of the requirements that the Ogoni people asked for before allowing the restart of exploration. With this move and the return of crude oil exploration, Nigeria may go to 3 million to 4 million barrels of crude before 2031. We may actually be so awashed in petroleum products and derivatives that will be sell to all African Nations and be super Rich.

Tinubu is a GO. Nigeria will be GREAT soon.

It is actually a shame that Reno had to do this. This is the JOB of ARISENEWS. This is what JOURNALISTS ought to be doing, but given we have models, animal husbandry and On Air Personalities now, they forget the job of journalism. You ought to be on the road, before, during and after commissioning. You ought to have correspondents giving updates on Govt projects, but AriseNews will spend more time covering birthdays and weddings. How low journalism has fallen in Nigeria?

I watched this yesterday. This was purely practical and he did well. Kudos

Why do we like to act ignorant? Instead of him to thank the President for removing subsidy and sending more money to the states, he is saying he does not know how the Gov is doing all these projects. Even a child knows the answer and the reason.

I am also based in the States, and I was able to search for vehicles by changing location to Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria and I was able to send messages to all the sellers. I just had a friend connect with a mechanic to check it out. Once it was given a GO, I credited the seller. Drove the car last year, but now, I am doing a complete overhaul. Still made sense than buying to ship and hoping for the best at clearance

AfahaAbia:

Hello all, I want to get a a good portable car for my mum which she can use to go for her business. Any seller here can recommend or suggest. Location is Portharcourt.

Tinubu worked hard to tame the Ocean...if Sanwo Olu is giving approvals to his friends to build islands that are causing Lagos to flood, is that not an issue? I would like anyone and everyone to focus on substance instead of insulting people. Tinubu is raising thugs...please who are thugs? Everyone has political liabilities..even Dem and Republicans in the US. They have groups they cater to but deep down may be unable to stand them. It is politics. You may want to tell poor people that they should be responsible and stop having children, but you keep quiet and provide palliatives.

If you know what Lagos was like and the area boys and why Lagos became a city of many Estates, you wont be saying what you are saying. At the end of it all, Tinubu was accused, never prosecuted. His vision for Lagos lives on. Otti's state is dealing with its own issue...even Enugu we praise dearly just got its own problem with ritualists. No state is perfect, but you cannot blame one man for the choices others make. If you have proof otherwise, go to court.

SmartPolician:
The truth is that nobody can be friends with everyone. Governor Sanwo-Olu is a perfect gentleman. On the other hand, Tinubu is a godfather who raises thugs across the SW region. The two have nothing in common.

If not that Tinubu cherry-picks and kicks out Lagos governors, Sanwo-Olu would've rid the state of APC thugs who have totally overrun the state. Just like Ambode of the past, Governor Sanwo-Olu's hands are tied.

Marketers will be looking to buy from Russia and Iran at very low price to stay competitive, Dangote is going for the Cheap Texas Crude. Dangote can afford to operate at a loss on PMS while selling fertilizers and other derivatives for profit. He can also increase cement price by N1000 to make up for the PMS losses. The marketers cannot win this war. Though Dangote has Naira for Crude, he can buy crude for less by buying Texas Crude. The battle continues...victoria acerta.

The problem of Nigeria is not just about its govt...it's everyone. Even the FG Universities cannot obey simple disclosure...so all the funds the FED Govt gave them will not be made public. I am sure they are trying hard right now to balance the numbers and hide some expenses.

Soon, people will say FG is not funding the Universities not knowing that Universities are chopping the money but we cannot see results because even those in our Universities are CORRUPT. Let them publish the reports, so we can comb them line by line. I will keep waiting.

All these folks were ONCE in Government Lol. You should not be trying this hard if you had LEGACIES that spoke for you. You did not. The man you want to remove from office is the Architect of Lagos that now generates close to N900 billion in IGR in Q1 2025. If that is not INSANE, I don't know what is.

Amaechi was Minister of Transportation when folks were kidnapped from a train spending months inside the Bush...he did not resign.

El Rufai was Governor when Southern Kaduna was under siege, he did not resign.

Atiku was Vice President when $16 billion went into Electricity and the DisCos were sold to his friends. You are the same people that want to rescue Nigeria cry me a river.

Tallesty1:
Her frustration is valid, but she is also very, very foolish. Yes, men reduce women to their physical appearance at first glance, which is understandable since you have to tell them or show them what they’re not seeing—and it ends there. But what she, just like every other woman, often leaves unexamined is that the culture women criticize is also one they help construct.

If you invite 20 celebrities to an event, 10 men and 10 women. The men will come nicely or weirdly dressed. The women will wear expensive clothes that covered everywhere except the places clothes where originally meant to cover, the two decently dressed women will cheer them on and snap them for us at home to see.

We now live in an era where empowerment is often expressed through hypersexualized imagery. While everyone has the right to bodily autonomy, we can’t ignore the contradictions: the same platforms where women demand to be seen as more than their bodies are often the very ones where many self-objectify for attention, monetization, or validation.

Religion teaches that modesty isn’t oppression; it’s intentional dignity. Philosophy reminds us that freedom without restraint collapses into chaos. Academically, we know objectification is a two-way transaction: it requires both the objectifier and the one willingly objectified.

So yes, women are more than their bodies. But accountability requires examining how they present themselves to the world as much as how the world perceives them. You can’t wear a costume and be angry that you’re cast in a role. If you want a culture that sees the whole woman, you must help build one that honors her whole image—mind, body, and spirit.

The Ritualist picked the wrong kind of person. ...her spirit is strong. She must be protected

Pull out your phone, look it up and SING. Being in the UK definitely does not give people wisdom. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Rebuker:
There was a mix of drama and laughter in the UK during the recent Nigeria vs Ghana Unity Cup match, as many Nigerians in attendance couldn't sing the newly reinstated national anthem. Instead, they defaulted to singing the only version they knew — the now-replaced anthem, “Arise, O Compatriots.”

As soon as the instrumental for “Nigeria, We Hail Thee” began to play, many Nigerians looked confused. Some burst into laughter, clearly unfamiliar with the lyrics. Rather than staying silent, the crowd collectively began singing “Arise, O Compatriots” to the tune of the new anthem.

One Nigerian man was heard shouting in Pidgin English: “Wahala! Who sabi sing am? Na the one wey we know we go sing!” — meaning, “Problem! Who knows how to sing it? We’ll just sing the one we know!”

The stadium echoed with laughter and amusement as the crowd embraced the old anthem, creating a light-hearted and humorous moment during the event.

For context, Nigeria officially reverted to its original national anthem, “Nigeria, We Hail Thee,” on May 29, 2024, after President Bola Tinubu signed it into law. This anthem was originally used from 1960 to 1978 before being

Some of us want to pay taxes, pay Land Use Charge but we see the Govt isn't serious in some states about streamlining tax payments. In Lagos, they charge Land Use and we pay diligently. This is why Lagos IGR for Q1 is almost N900 billion. Soon, Lagos will have an IGR of N4 trillion...and with partnership with Ogun State to extend the rail lines and all and revenue sharing, expect Lagos to climb into more trillions...once the Lagos Calabar and Badagry Superhighways are done.
