Dude, you know they are still searching for information about the culprit of the Arson case at Next Cash and carry Supermarket? Thanks for providing valuable information. I Dont need to say more.

Take it to twitter. Seun has allowed Nairaland to degenerate into a cesspit of tribalism, so nothing serious happens here activism wise again

Verysmart101:
If u want development from a state hold the state govt responsible.Dangote pays tax to the government directly and they should give account of wat they do with the tax received from Dangote.So dangote should be building the houses of those uncompleted cos they gave him money to keep for them abiiii.Abegi be truthful for ones.Wat Dangote owes to that community is scholarship, boreholes and other contributions that will benefit the communities that's all

So the stuffs you listed, how many has he done for the community?

People should see the bigger picture here. Dangote is a selfish capitalist who cares for nothing other than his family name and business interests. Apart from the road from the company to kabba built by the company, what other things have the immediate community of Obajana benefitted from the massive industry? If you pass through frequently, you will see lots of uncompleted and unplastered houses everywhere. Nothing of significance happens in Obajana apart from cement dust big generator noises.
I really pity those ones in Lekki who has welcomed his refinery with open hands. They will understand things better soon. How about his salt factory in Sango? I've been in that neighborhood before. Even the road there is terrible.
Thank God Ondo state dodged the bullet of his refinery. The more you look, the less you see indeed.

But this is very wrong on the part of the aide. I'm an avid Peter Obi supporter, but it questions her loyalty. If I were under direct employ of Okowa, who is campaigning as VP, I shouldn't be seen supporting Obi publicly. Even if I'm doing so, it's only between me and myself.

In actuality, this project might not make much sense to Lagosians the way it is being hyped, when operational. Like the other time, they were touting the Lagos Ibadan rail project as the missing link that will enable Ibadan residents to work in Lagos and commute back daily, till they fixed the price way above 2000 naira. Which means at 3000, for 5 days, 4 weeks a month, you've racked up 60k on transport alone. One hasn't factored the provocative cost of living under Buhari nowadays.
Now with Tinubu's campaign at the corner and China expecting their payback, the cost of commute will still not be favourable to the masses who really needs it. They will still resort to their cheaper buses, thus not less traffic

He is going next few months now... Are they still paying you the usual 30k to defend him? I pray for you that your life and that of your family will be managed the way Buhari managed Nigeria for 8 years till you all leave this earth. Say Amen, if you believe

BUHARI FAILED?

1. “Buhari is a failure,” but please who has done more roads and bridges than this Gov’t since the coming of democracy in 1999?

Let’s deal with facts as we move on…

2. “Buhari is a failure,” but can you tell me any administration that has done more housing projects since 1999 than this Gov’t?

Maybe @StatiSense can help us here!

3. “Buhari is a failure,” but before Buhari, Boko Haram was having a caliphate in Borno. You needed scanners to screen people in banks and churches. Suicide bombing was a norm, is it still the same today? The NW & NC won’t be different, they will collect too.
Considerable success has been made in the North-East as a whole, & even the blind knows that, except the ‘politically blind’. Nothing is insurmountable, we will win in the NW & NC to either now or the next admin.

But PMB has laid that foundation already with arms acquisition.

4. “Buhari is a failure,” but there was a time in this country when the farmers-herders clash became a National problem and a clout-chasing topic. But this same “failed” Gov’t designed the NLTP, and today, has that not been minimized? Why are we not talking about this?

5. “Buhari is a failure,” but since the time of the military days, no President has equipped the Army, Airforce, and Navy simultaneously like this administration. It is a fact!

You can also “Go and Verify!”

6. “Buhari is a failure,” but how many cancer centers were in Nigeria before this failure came, and how many do we have now? Lagos, Umuahia, and Kano have world-class Cancer Centers today.

How do you measure failure?

7. “Buhari is a failure,” but since the war that ended in 1970, it took this failure to recognize the Biafra Army and Police who fought during that war, and even pay their pension and emoluments accrued to them all these years.

Failure?


8. “Buhari is a failure,” but it took the ‘failure’ to build the Zik Mausoleum after years of neglect; recognizing M.K.O Abiola as a President that he should have been, & awarding him all that is due to him as an ex-President, and even declaring June 12, our democracy day.

9. “Buhari is a failure,” but this failure has brought reforms into the Governance system like implementing IPPIS and TSA for more accountability, even when these 2 have been existing for years before this Gov’t.

10. “Buhari is a failure,” for having a “rubber stamp” NASS that has passed more important bills that affects the life of every Nigerian than any Gov’t or NASS has ever done in Nigeria. Every bill has been a huge reform in all sectors — from Energy to electoral reforms.


11. “Buhari is a failure,” for paying pensioners your “letter writer” & his Vice sold the companies they were working & forced to quit their jobs with no emolument whatsoever.

Go & tell the workers of ALSCON, Delta Steel, NICON, Nigeria Airways, NAHCO, etc that Buhari failed na.

12. “Buhari is a failure,” but we were only having an unfinished Abuja-Kaduna rail when he took over — he finished it. Now, we have Lagos-Ibadan, Warri-Itakpe, PH-Maiduguri (under construction), Kaduna-Kano (under construction), and he’s a failure. Issokay!

13. “Buhari is a failure,” but where was ProForce, DICON, NAVMC? While DICON was existing, what were they producing? Today, we have these companies bringing our hardware for our military like never seen before in this country — and Buhari has taken us back to 1900? ��
If the environment was not created, or Buhari failed, will ProForce be in Nigeria today? Why didn’t they come to Nigeria when Nigeria was in 2050? Would Innoson have been producing parts for our military today? “Buhari failed” kee u dia!

14. “Buhari is a failure,” but what was the state of our General and Specialist hospitals before this Gov’t came? This Gov’t has not only digitalized them, but they have also renovated and equipped many. Didn’t we see videos where people’s parents looted money for hospital equipment?
Are they the Gov’t?
The children of the CMD of that hospital in PH and his cohorts that were trying to divert the N900mn Gov’t intervention, are also here calling their “father” a failure. Hypocrites!

15. “Buhari is a failure,” but before he came, I remember celebrities doing videos to mock our Int’l airport. In one instance, 2face did a video at the Kotoka Int’l Airport to mock We’ve all forgotten all that today, because “Buhari has taken us to 1896” with better airports.

16. “Buhari is a failure,” but he fought the DISCOS your ‘crooked’ lovers sold our electricity to, and today we are having our DISCOS back one after the other, while the SIEMENS deal is bringing that much-needed electricity we’ve been yearning for all these years.
It’s real, it’s verifiable. If that is what failure looks like, I want to be a failure every day.

17. “Buhari is a failure,” but before this Gov’t, piracy on our waters was alarming. Insurance on goods from abroad was in the thousands of $$. This Gov’t investment in our NAVY & NIMASA simultaneously has made our waters one of the safest in the world today. Is this failure?

18. “Buhari is a failure,” but his Gov’t has promoted “Made in Nigeria” goods more than any since 1999. Executive Order was even signed to that effect, & today the benefit can only be well put in words by our farmers (grains & livestock), and manufacturers (Innoson, Nord, etc). Failure?

19. “Buhari is a failure,” but his Gov’t was the first to give some Universities an uninterrupted power supply by providing them with solar electricity. BUK—Kano, FUAM—Makurdi, UDUS—Sokoto, FUNAI—Ebonyi, and UniMAID (almost completed). Do you call this failure?

20. “Buhari is a failure,” but we only had an Apapa & TinCan port before he came — today, Onne & Calabar ports are receiving cargos under his administration. Onitsha Port has just been concessioned. Let’s not even talk about the State ports coming up, like Lekki, Badagry & Ibom.

Are we back to 1924?

“Buhari is a failure,” but before this ‘failure,’ nobody was bold enough to establish a refinery in Nigeria. The common modular refinery, how many were in Nigeria before this ‘failure’ came? We have modular refineries in Imo, Bayelsa, Edo, and even Delta now.

Dangote and BUA are building refineries, while the PH refinery is being totally turned into a brand new one, but Buhari failed, and Nigeria is now in 1740.

What is your definition of failure? How has not being able to end insecurity turned to failure? How has inflation which is a global phenomenon become the indices to measure failure? Can the Gov’t do better economically and security-wise? Of course, they can.

Can only 1 Gov’t solve the whole problem in Nigeria? No, of course not. But we must look at where we were coming from, the available resources then and now, and the pandemic and global economic downturn should be factored in too if you’re being open-minded.

Insecurity can never end in society, they come in different ways, the only thing is to have a Gov’t that can respond to them as they come.

This Gov’t has done its best and we must acknowledge that, while also pointing out where they didn’t meet expectations. Using blanket statements like “Buhari has failed” is trying to be politically blind and deaf. Yes, I said it!

Buhari will hand the baton over to Tinubu and he will continue from where Buhari stopped and conclude the race to perfection.

Your post is as watery as your username. It holds no water. Tufiakwa!!!

That's almost a million naira. If no be say na you dey find comfort, there are villages in the city you can comfortably buy a 2 bedroomed house and say bye bye to Landlord for a long time, at least, even though you may not get C of O, but it works. Don't ask me where o, cos I'm not a realtor.

ObosiUkwalla:
Dear Abuja residents..

So i have a relative who relocated to abuja as he got a job offer in the city.

He has been house hunting, he finally got a Two-bed room and one parlour apartment in Lugbe Area. He was asked to pay 980k in total.
The rent is 800k. Caution is 100k, Agent is 10% of rent = 80k

I humbly want to know if its worth paying for or should he keep looking? Abuja residents, pls help a brother out

Either maybe you have low self esteem or you're just a plain dumb Nigerian, but either way, this event should motivate you to value what you have. If you don't, others will do it for you. While others are thinking of "japa", these ones want to "jasi".

franchasofficia:
Only in Nigeria will a President be the one conferring foreigners with citizenship titles and even stooping so low to take pictures with them just to score useless political point





How many Nigerians that became citizens of UK, US, Canada, etc met with UK Prime Minister or US President or Canadian Prime Minister to receive their citizenship passport or whatever?



These lowlifes elected by uninformed Nigerians keep disgracing Nigeria thinking they are scoring political points, what a shame



And the same unfortunate Nigerians are gathering, plotting to elect another sect of criminals and terrorists to continue destroying the fortunes of Nigeria, and after they have collected peanuts to elect criminals as their leaders, they will start trooping to their prayer houses and so called worship centers to pray to their imaginary gods to better their lives and next they are saving all their life's income to bribe their ways for foreign country visas to migrate to nations built by sensible leaders elected by reasonable citizens to go and work like slaves till they die and their kids continue from where they stopped.



Blacks, especially Nigerians are shameless

Sadly, this is true. This morning at a restaurant near my residence, I and a couple of bachelors wondered aloud, how full house wives will come and be dragging breakfast with us every morning. Its a serious issue such that they even come to buy food for their children to take to school. I pity men and their children in marriages of nowadays.

Fiscus105:
Thing changed from how it was in 90s.


Now, married women want to flex like married men

Now, married women want have same authority as husband.

Now, married men want to share responsibilities equally as wife.

Still imagine, how marriages will look like in 10yrs to come.


Marriage shouldn't be as my mother/father did it, we are in 21st century, yet it's deteriorating on hourly bases.

As a very sensitive person, emi la'ye mi; if that happened to me, na straight withdrawal and redeployment for the kid. He no go even enter class that day. And that useless headteacher go collect wotowoto before driving out. I can't be paying school fees in this Buharific time and be recieving insults on top. Never!

you sound like one of these woke 1995 kids with your point 3. You don't know the cultural and spiritual implication of burying the dead where they wish, during their lifetime. It is a globally accepted practice, not show off.

Eehyah. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

The Buhari led government has proven Once again that it is inept, daft and incapable of diplomacy. Imagine all the major issues of conflict in this regime today that could have been resolved by negotiation and strong diplomatic moves. This move is not going to end well for the FG.

Normally you would have just avoided them. It's sad that that Darwinian principle doesn't apply on the internet. Imagine if you had to take the intelligence test before you are granted access, then the web will be full of intellectualism and critical reasoning.
Our kings go about marrying wives and shaking their irukere all over the place. The British monarchy has been all about service. Queen Elizabeth once enrolled in the army as a mechanic during one of the world wars.
The British people paying the taxes are not actually bating an eye, we that we are leeching off their welfare are complaining. Such irony!
Meanwhile, how has the four year rotational system of democracy helped us? It has only bred corrupt and nepotistic leaders with selfish interest. Because it's like a timed clock that triggers the need to steal as much as you can within the specified period. Imagine having a monarch that isn't going anywhere, but guiding a prime minister for the best interests of the country. Look at Dubai for example, just like Britain, hasn't the monarchial system worked for them?

Omoluabi16:
Not to talk of the hundreds of 'first class obas or igwes or Emirs in Nigeria that are all maintained by their respective state government. Lets not forget the baales and local chiefs too. monarchy is in spain, Saudi, Denmark and a host of other European countries. Africa has local kings too. It would be a big mistake, a very foolish thing if they abolish their monarchy. They would be throwing away centuries of history and I trust they won't!

Hypocrisy everywhere.
I ain't referring to the Woman of God. I am referring to most of the comments.
Corporate Executives steal money, then make huge donations to religious groups. We praise them. We glorify them. Politicians, confirmed looters of our national treasury, make donations to churches and mosques, we hail them for being generous. But we all know these set of people, especially the Politicians, must have terminated some people's life/destinies to get to the positions they are.
I have met MC Oluomo at several functions. This guy, I got to know, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke. And he warns his boys all the time not to engage in these vices. And when it comes to making donations to religious groups and activities, I doff my hat for that man.

Since you probably know him one on one, how did he make his money? He's so rich that he has children schooling and working abroad. Did he make such a fortune from trade unionism or we have another Tinubu on our hands who accumulated wealth from unknown sources?

DamiAyo17:
Good evening nairalanders, pls I need assistance for my son

I am a mother of two boys, I am an HND holder in Accounting, but I couldn't get job when I relocated from Lagos to Abuja to meet my husband so I decided to learn tailoring.

My husband is an engineer but since d beginning of dis year,he has not gotten any reasonable work to do, we have been living from hand to mouth, I don't have a sewing machine yet either so I find it difficult to sew for people, d ones I collect, I av to take it to a colleague house to sew and most times she also has work to do with her machine.

Pls, I need assistance for my son, they are resuming next week and I av not bought his text books, he is going to primary one, he is 4yrs old while his brother is 10 months old..I cry every night because i never wish for my enemy to be in d condition we are presently in my home..I told my husband we should change his sch but even the money to start registration for him again, we DNT have at d moment.

I am more concerned about his books because school fees can come later, we can beg d authority to have patience till we can source for the fees..Pls I need ur assistance so my son can resume to school next week...D total amount of the books is #28,430. It's a private school so they don't allow buying of the books outside and they also don't give d list of books..I can post d name of d school and also his report card if need be...

Thanks, God bless you all

Chai! This your story dey touch person shaa.. I bin wan ask your account no till I learn say you dey hype Amala for ilorin by August 24.
Ogbeni, change format. You don cast!

DamiAyo17:
Dat iya gbolahan at oja ale no sweet at all, u can try Unique, there is another one located opposite Offa central hotel...their Amala is very nice

Not very intelligent after all. Why would anyone choose to grow Cannabis inside this AMAC? not even Bwari or somewhere far away like Kuje. But wait o! So Cannabis can actually grow fine in someone's backyard in this Abuja?

AdolfHitlerxXx:


"Onyinye Amaka"

I can bet anything that she would be cursing the FG and saying Peter Obi is the solution.

Yet the weyrey is growing a weed farm in middle of the FCT.

Walahi, werey ni e óò! How can you link Peter Obi to a Cannabis farmer? Don't you see your brand ambassador, Baba Emilokan there?
Your brain dey leak, I swear!

Buckeyemedia1:
You Obidients will only be deceiving yourselves, you can fool some people sometimes, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

If you say APC killed unionism in Nigeria then they must be praised, because I don’t know of any government in the world, from the United States to Japan that is fond of Unions. i.e. see the nonsense ASUU is doing with tertiary education?

Mind you to clear your ignorance that you Obidients are bereft of common knowledge, Labor speaks socialism, Peter Obi preaches capitalism, so how can he be their representative?

Pele óò! You said APC killed unionism but surrendered our schools to ASUU after how many months now. How's that working out for you?
What else has APC killed again? The trains by surrendering it to terrorists just like the failed PDP pointed out. Infact, the Eastern railway project has been killed due to "vandalism"
You guys also killed our security. We are now dragging the terrorism trophy with Syria. Haven't you guys killed enough?
Even if Peter Obi is an atheist Marxist or whatever classification you choose, we will still vote for him.

Olojuobinrin:
To some people, you’re the most amazing person , to some others , you’re the greatest terror , don’t listen to anyone , just keep doing your thing .

This does not applying a Church. Jesus told one man one time to go and sell all he has and give to the poor. Likewise, he asked Zacchaeus the tax collector to go straighten his ways. You just don't keep doing your thing if you want to be a follower of Christ. Satan is the only one that gives you such freedom. McOluomo is a person of questionable character, likewise is that Reverend mother as at this moment.
I just pity those innocent, hardworking honest Celestial members that she claims holds back their money and are not useful in the order of things. They are under the wrong Shepherd. You can't hide these things for long.

Interesting analysis. Meanwhile some people are sitting on rocking chair, smoking shisha, shouting emilokan every 30 mins, oblivious of the reality on ground. That useless Reno, a modafuka that he is, keeps travelling around the world, looking for good spots to do Harass Buhari out of X country. Insensitive to details too. The 2023 election results will be a shock to everyone. A new order is coming

A feature that could have saved Deborah.

This is the same Lagos, Tinubu "built". Same one which reeks of corruption and agberos everywhere. Which other city in the world does buildings collapse every fortnight, putting human lives in jeopardy everytime? Afterall, Onitsha has 95% storey buildings and we don't hear of building collapse.
Before you quote me for rubbish and fire burn your grandfather wherever he is, I'm yoruba.

Of course the number gets assigned to a new customer after a while. Applies to all networks

Abeg leave them with that water!

their ancestors has been drinking that water for ages and they didn't die!

don't introduce borehole that will start giving them cough now!

carry your sabi-sabi commot from that village!

Lol, which one be sabi-sabi? Just cos their ancestors have been drinking it don't make it right.

So sorry about your loss. May God console your family. Who is that stu.pid graphics designer that chose to use a moment of grief to advertise his business?

Poverty is a really terrible thing. I'm sure the cost of the whole piece of land they are fighting for is less than 1.5 million. Especially in a village where NEPA bill still costs 1,500 naira. Its a terrible thing when poverty is written in one's DNA. Imagine it's Otedola's children fighting over some piece of property.

This implied that Muslim Imams are culpable of stealing offering monies too. They always act very righteous and incapable of doing things that some pastors do, but e b things.

Mr Atiku is sadly going to mark INEC register in futility in 2023 as usual. He's just not destined to be president. Even if he packs 90 Wembley stadium in Kastina, he's not going to get up to 10% of votes in any southern state. Especially this time he went to pick a governor only popular in his own state as vice. Even here in Abuja, I've never actually seen people volunteering for his campaign as much as those of the two southern candidates. It's even more preferable it's Tinubu than another Fulani president. Tufiakwa!
