So Nigerians are known for only crime and foodie... Wonder this kind of record breaking...

The World is fast growing into great innovation, like intimacy gadgets, Humanoid,sci-fi lifestyle with the advent of Solar, lithium batteries, A.I,.. germini ,chatgpt..

Wonder when Nigerians will begin to Tap into untapped resources..

Jollof rice.. is the list of innovations.. this is just a distraction...

Waiting for someone else to pickup this challenge with Concoction Rice and feed Nigeria... To break record...

Least i forget that FGN will be feeding 50 million Nigeria children in 2026...

Before you say it's jealousy... Nah it's not..

Congratulations to her... 🤢

"Least of innovations"..... not "list" in the context you put it.

And so what??
I have one cos my father was General Manager of so many companies

I made the same topic last week but nlfpmod blatantly refused to bring it to Nairaland front page

I’ve never seen a coach who would refuse to change his tactical set up in order to get result. Fact is his famed set up has failed and he needs to change. Otherwise, change him in order to save the season!.
Manchester United should sack Ruben Amorim before 8am tomorrow morning.

Tareq1105:
Bcoz he was bold and courageous.

In 2012, Nigeria was servicing its debt with 42% of its revenue.

However, in 2023 when Tinubu came, Nigeria was spending 97% of its revenue to service Debt and its now left with 3% to run its activities.

So Tinubu felt it was not acceptable and subsidy had to be removed.

Don't forget that Buhari had been printing money every month to pay salaries and meet up with other runnings of the country.

So, Tinubu felt it was time to belt the cat.

Senseless and silly analysis. Everything he fought or kicked against when he was in opposition he is done tripled. He is a con man . Tinubu is a big scam and a hypocritical being.

phemray:
Was Tinubu the commander in chief then?

That is the reason leaders like Jonathan and Obi are not real leader because they are weak and don't have clue to the policies they wanted to implement. Why did they reverted back if they are sure of what they are doing or did they expect Nigeria not to protest it?

When Tinubu implemented it, was it not protested across the nation? even having assured Nigerians that he will remove it if he won? But am confident that if that strike goes for one year Tinubu will not revert because he knows its the best policy for this nation at this time. Painful but, Now we gradually getting used to the effects and moving forward.

Your last sentence shows how truly hypocritical you APC lots are. The point is why did Tinubu support its removal while he was in the opposition and implemented its removal when he came into government?

jmoore:
Tinubu and his men sponsored occupy Nigeria which fought against subsidy removal.

You dey mind those hypocritical APC people dem?

Kalulu44:
Tupac brought who to deathrow or Tupac met Snoop at deathrow.
Snoop at one time started getting a bit jealous of Tupac for taking the shine off him at deathrow since he was there before him.

It's clear you know absolutely NOTHING about Deathrow records. 2pac's rap career started even before Deathrow records was formed and he was signed to Interscope records which happens to be the parent company that Deathrow records was under. 2pac's debut and sophomore albums weren't moving off the shelves back then in 1991 and 1993. It was until his incarceration that his 3rd album started getting attention. Snoop Doggy Dogg muted the idea that Suge Knight should sign 2pac after the Soul Train Awards of 1995. As at that time, Snoop Doggy Dogg was the highest selling rap artist in the world as at that time, Doggystyle had sold 4 million CD's so this silly idea of yours that 2pac was on Deathrow records before Snoop Doggy Dogg is very clownish and reeks of ignorance.

Melonsmasher:
It was Diddy, Suge had nothing to do with the death of Tupac, check your facts right.. Diddy had it all cooked up. Orlando Anderson pulled the trigger

It was 2pac's stupidity that led to his death.... not Puffy. He stomped on a real killer and got his life took.

MadamVanessa:




Legend never dies but lives on. No contemporary rapper ever throw me off Ballance as much as Shakur did even till date , only Eminem gets close. Even his own rival, Notorious B.I.G, was wack , got overrated for nothing. Rest on Legend.

The Notorious B.I.G is lyrically superior to 2pac.

OgaSeun:
Tinubu is the hardest working president in the world right now.

Nairaland mods aka APC e-warriors nor wan gree move this to FP

Nigerian president Bola Tinubu has intervened via his lawyer, Oluwole O. Afolabi, in the ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, with a motion seeking to block the unredacted release of records held by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on Tinubu.

In the motion filed on September 4, 2025, Afolabi argued that exemptions under the U.S. Privacy Act, and FOIA Exemption 7(c) were grounds to conceal the records from public eyes for privacy reasons, requesting the court to force the hand of the FBI and DEA to withhold the public release of the files. Afolabi’s motion comes 5 months after the court already ruled that privacy exemptions under the FOIA Act could not be applied in this case, and both agencies should consequently release the unredacted records.

An excerpt from Tinubu’s motion argument reads:

The exemptions and Privacy Act should prevail here because the privacy interests of [Tinubu] outweigh [Greenspan’s] interest in publicising information about Tinubu.”

It will be recalled that the case, instituted in 2023 by American FOIA activist Aaron Greenspan with assistance from West Africa Weekly Editor-in-Chief David Hundeyin, had earlier resulted in the release of 5 batches of the requested documents, with all reference to Tinubu, his family members or associated business entities redacted.

On April 8, 2025, Judge Beryl Howell ordered the FBI and DEA to search for and produce all records about Tinubu in their posession, after ruling in favour of Greenspan with a judgment that stated that the agencies could not hide behind Glomar responses or apply FOIA exemptions.

According to Judge Howell, keeping such information away from public knowledge using Glomar responses under the excuse of individual privacy exemptions is “neither logical nor plausible.”

Since the judgment however, both agencies have deployed legal gamesmanship and administrative obstruction to delay production of the unredacted files, leading Greenspan to accuse them of “playing politics” and “deliberately delaying” the release of the unredacted drug files as a “favour to the Nigerian President” in a motion filed last month.

In Tinubu’s intervention filing, his lawyer argued: “[Greenspan’s] requests – seeking records about Bola Tinubu – do not fall within the scope of FOIA” […] The purpose of FOIA is to provide access to information on government activities, not to obtain records on individuals compiled by the government.”

Afolabi argued that FOIA is meant to provide information about government activities, not to expose private details of individuals. Afolabi arugued that the requests by Greenspan “improperly target a private individual” (Tinubu), and that there is no overriding public interest in exposing records concerning past investigations from when Tinubu was not a public official.

Given that a summary judgment has already been delivered on the validity of the privacy exemptions in this case, it is unclear how Afolabi’s argument – which effectively asks the court to reverse its own ruling in the same case – will be received by Judge Howell.

In a motion filed in response almost immediately, Greenspan requested that the court disregard or strike out Bola Tinubu’s motion. An excerpt from Greenspan’s motion filing opposing Tinubu reads:
