Good act.

Lamba.

No be all those awilo buses wey dey call lobenin lobenin agba bin dey say dem dey use gas?

When dem know say we sabi hustle and do sh1tty works, why dem no go issue 350k (30%} of their total visa to Nigerians?

UK wey be say before before, if you dey apply for their visa and you go put one strange money (big/bulk amount) in your account and use the bank statement like that, dem go refuse you visa saying you put that big money there purposely for the visa application to show that you can afford the trip.

It is the same UK that doesn’t care about how big money gets into your bank account, so long it stays there for just a month pere.

Eeniiii kuuure.

abibox02:
How many top officers we get wey 100 go retire, our government always put politics in every action/policy they do

Dem plenty.
But if I may ask you, which war is Nigeria going or which war has Nigeria gone since 1966/67?

Don’t mention peace keeping missions across Africa and the world o. Just talk of war that Nigeria has fought against another country.

Then also tell us which country is trying to go war with Nigeria in recent time.
Tell me which of our military equipment can fight 20th century war let alone 21st century war.

This is just to tell you that we are just wasting our resources on those lazy pigs 🐖 called army generals and co.
Ordinary Boko Aram foot soldier, dem no fit defeat them since Obasanjo era.

If we don’t get rid of a lot of our uniformed men, we would just keep wasting our resources.

Go and read about the problem that Pakistan is facing now - feeding and taking care of her over 2 million soldiers and how those soldiers have been living large on Pakistani’s meager resources. When you ask them, they will say they anticipate India can strike at anytime because of the issue of Kashmir.

Countries like Liechtenstein, Grenada, Dominican, Andorra, Iceland, Mauritius, Costa Rica etc do not either have armed forces or a standing army at all and they are fine.

I didn't touch on security but since you've mentioned it...

The whole country is waiting to see what this administration will do to actually to fix the security problem. In your own words, the last administration's security performance was abysmal. Which of course raises the question of why Nigerians voted the same party back into power - even with this glaring incompetence?

But enough of that. We will see over the short to medium term whether this administration has the answers (security wise) or not.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'administrative task'...

Let's even take the removal of 'fuel subsidy' as inevitable. It has been done. A reversal is all but impossible right now.

What I can assure you is that you will not get the same single minded, laser like focus in killing the waste and rot in Nigeria's public sector. It is not a matter of it being 'too early'. The will simply isn't there - because there is an alignment of interests between the administration and public sector employees.

Mark my words.

Trust me, and in fairness to them, it’s too early. I am not defending them.

We need to give them some months to see how they would start.

For the admin task, I mean it’s a routine. Subsidy office already has processes in place and accounting entries they pass. Once subsidy is removed, they stop all processes hay have to do with subsidy administration. But for security, it’s dynamic.

Erekere

Oga. Shatap. Put your house in order, firstly. Chase away the bad ones amongst our police force, from cadet to AIG/DIG then change their orientation with superb pay and better training.

Deploy technology. It doesn’t matter if it not the latest technology. Technology of 2010 could still be used.

You need to rebuild most of our police stations and equip them. With that and more, your men would be ready to work.

Benue best governor, chai! Who slapped me!

It’s fake news. The last time the website of the newsmagazine that carried the news was last updated was on May 30, 2023 and the news was reported to be on June 12, by the fake carrier on that same newsmagazine.

A vivid look on the website showed the ‘news’ was fraudulently inserted on the front page of the news magazine.

See it here:
https://energytimesonline.com/

The site is not even responsive as of today. May be it was designed purposely for something like this.

Even NNPC has debunked the news that it was fake.

How can someone spend nearly $20b on a refinery and still use another $730 million to get license and be importing refined fuel?

Fujiyama:

He acted immediately on 'fuel subsidy'. He didn't wait to get advice, study any reports or engage in any consultations. Okay, fair enough. The question now is whether we will see the same urgency of purpose in stopping the waste and graft in the public sector. That's going to be a lot harder to do and sadly, he doesn't have the sincerity and integrity to see it through to the bitter end.



^^^
These are yesterday's men - nobody is talking about these failed administrations any more. And you are dead wrong about their being let off easy as far as report implementation is concerned. A search on this very platform will confirm this.

The sad thing is that far too many will actually take your advice and choose death by installment. 'Let's wait'? 'It's still too early?' OK.

This administration has its sights set on the most vulnerable members of society and they will bear the brunt of policy choices made - because they are an easy target. Its far, far easier to remove 'fuel subsidy' than it is to reform MDAs and trim a bloated public sector.

I predict a net transfer of wealth from low income groups to the so-called 'one percenters' over the life of this administration. The signs are there.

Trust me: it’s too early. The subsidy he removed is more of administrative task than security issues. It’s not included in the budget already approved by last administration. There’s nowhere Tinubu will get money to fund subsidy beyond June.

Security is more strategic than subsidy removal.
We need to keep insurgency under checks so that farmers can return to farms quickly to ease food prices and lessen the effect of subsidy removal.
None of those security heads was there less than two years (if I am right) and we have seen that they were there just wearing khakis up and down and carrying women.

Upon all trillions of Naira thrown at them by Bubu, they achieved less than 2% of set target security objectives.

I would like EFCC to investigate all of them. They have stolen Nigeria bend 😁😁.

J3susFr3ak:
I wanted to say it was about time then I noticed these "interesting specimens" in the list:

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu - National Security Adviser
AVM H.B AbubakarChief of Air Staff
1Maj. Isa Farouk Audu
(N/14695)Commanding Officer State House Artillery
5Lt. A. Aminu (N/18578)Second-in- Command, State House Armament

Curiously absent from these key sensitive security positions are any South-south names, Igbo names or even Christian Middle Belt names.

Hmmm....I was hoping Tinubu will go beyond the usual Arewa appeaser in Chief vomit!!

You want to end Terrorism on innocent farmers and yet you put these same people who will secretly back Terrorist to kill the same farmers?

My goodness Mr. Tinubu...

It is not only in Benue that farmers are being k.11led. Benue people should look inward.
It is more of Benue state’s internal political crisis than a national one.

I guess some people didn’t want Ortom to succeed, even though he too was not ready to succeed.

Let us all remain Jegaed. Supplementary list will soon be pasted and we shall see those 3ribes’ names.

blowjohn:
Omo!
This Tinubu no come play o.
Why does it feel like he's overworking?
So many things in just a few weeks.

Our civil service needs thorough cleansing, if we want to get things right in Nigeria.

They are corrupt to the bream. They drag us backwards.

Fujiyama:


Quick to remove 'fuel subsidy' but slow to implement reports like the Oronsaye Report.

The 40 strong convoys for government officials are not going anywhere. It is their way.

The 'little' people must tighten their belts while the 'big' men are struggling to contain their ever expanding girth,

Let’s still give him time. He is barely a month on the throne. He has to study the report, consult and listen to advices before he could go ahead. Don’t forget he wasn’t the president when the report was submitted.

Even GEJ and Obasanjo that had a combination of 14 years to implement various conference reports didn’t do so and nobody nailed them.

So, let’s wait. It’s still too early because some of the reports could have been outdated and need fine-tuning.

obaidan:
Na night BAT dey see...this man is just traumatizing that NNPC boss..the man knows his job is gone, just waiting for the announcement

😁😁😁 bad man. 🦇

WithFact:
Especially before the Feb 25 general election.

😁😁😁. Don’t mind him jare

SmartPolician:
That's what he should have done long ago!

It’s still not late. He took over not up to a month. He needs to collate names of those that would go and also consult on who would replace those that are leaving.

I guess that’s why he is coming out today. I feel he is even faster.

GeneralPula:
Another one !

Another banger!

I pray it’s is cleanable otherwise, she would regret having such tattoo at one point of her life in the future.

festacman:
I agree. Reason why President Tinubu, having removed fuel subsidy, concluded plan to introduce tuition in Fed institutions and floated Naira, should NOW unveil his plan to stimulate the economic from agriculture, fishery, SMEs, entertainment, sports, etc. Also, plan to incentivize industrialization and entrepreneurship. It is about time.

My advice is that whatever Pres. Tinubu is doing, he should use his goodwill to involve state governors for multiplier effects in states across Nigeria. Unlike most of Buhari's programs that were only FG-driven with little impact.

We are the ones to hold our state governors accountable. FG can only admonish states to govern well.

‘Godfatherism’ and election bankrolling are also parts of what is killing our state.

They have captured our gullible and hungry youths in the state.

There’s no state that doesn’t have one yeye youth vanguard or one youth dynasty or one youth movement/association that these politicians are using for them to remain in power for long.

seanfer:
You are wrong at the bolded the 2 states have total of 9544 polling units. Rivers has 4,442 polling units and Benue has 5,102
The 18,000 blurred results you are talking about is a compilation of investigation by the LP.

That’s how those people think and twist issues.

Shock can kill some people in some pranks.

001Lagos:
You people should stop this nonsense

This has got nothing to do with the Igbos, the building is not in good shape so it should be brought down to save lives and properties .

I've always been a strong supporter of the Good people of south east but make some of una dey talk with with sense sometimes ,.

Sense? Dem get at all? No be nzogbu nzogbu full that flattened plateau they are calling heads?

Quality notebooks way back. No blunt lines, always white - not bamboo-made, cut to precision.

My favorite notebook way back. If I couldn’t get it, I would buy OLYMPICS. Things changed when those tlibe flom that fa.ke legion started selling substandard notebooks at night markets in Oshodi.

I am having nostalgic feelings now.

Na shidren full NL. Dem no fit know.

Onye obioma are not happy because their hopes of setting Nigeria’s president ablaze are dashed.

I am sure Tulumbu is relying on intelligence gathering, to have included this in his fleet.

Worst menace deserves best solution.

American presidents drive around with their anti ballistic Limousines that can withstand any armored fired at it and they are fixed with blood banks that match that of their president.

Children of 8 will not fault this. It is our own that they will fault.

The only people killed for drug in this country are you people, and ironically killed by your so called Messiah; Buffon, you can only intimidate those that knows nothing, you can't intimidate me bro, I am well learned and know your history more than you, zombie

those that KNOW, not those that KNOWS

I can see you know what you are doing truly. Child of Special Center. Parí’sé.

Wutinky:
Fool, when did you start ruling Nigeria? ignorant is truly a disease , why always attach yourself to the fulanis by force? This is the true definition of slave we are talking about. don't you people have any utter shame?

ignorance, not ignorant

Your grand parents were smuggled to Western Nigeria have their education during Asikiwe’s rule and the Civil.
Your parents failed to take such advantage, as your mum chose to dey sell corners on and okpa by the roadside and your drun.kard ‘Fada’ chose to go serve oga and ended up doing baranda.
The same thing you the child didn’t wait to finish your education at your glorified secondary school called Williams Okpara Uni or Madonna Uni or Oko polytechnic.
You now see why you would always remain 3rd-class citizen in your country.

Keep playing.

Obi wey dey read theory books. He never practicalised one throughout his 8-year rule.

He gets all his advice from mad men.
