Sense left this man years ago.
A typical example of age has nothing to do with wisdom

Be objective. Is his statement a lie, or you just want to disagree simply because you don't like him?

Cantonese:
No sense in this at all.

If MTN and Airtel are not Nigerian, what about 9mobile? How did he avoid 9mobile?

Reread again, but this time, very slowly.

She’s repeating clothes again. A whole BBNaija winner. SMH.

That is how you people push others into poverty. How is repeating clothes a problem to you?

If only the govt is aware of how this commission has been helping the ordinary man, this would be the most highly funded agency. I have personal experiences with them, how they saved the day in various injustice situations. Some of their staff are wonderful in executing their duties. God bless them for us. Please pay them their dues

Truth is, most of these politicians don't care. Except it is affecting them directly.

I hope this gets to ear of Mr. President or another person.

Our politicians are extremely selfish.

This will affect Tinubu's 2027 agenda if not handled immediately.

As protests ripple across the nation, voicing the widespread distress over the prevailing economic challenges, Aare Kurunmi Kakanfo, a proponent of Yoruba welfare and progress, has appealed for peace. He points out that the administration under President Bola Tinubu commenced its term facing significant financial hurdles, having encountered a depleted national treasury upon assuming office last year.

Kakanfo stated that the political and Islamic leaders in the core North declared it unlawful for Muslims to demonstrate, even in the face of Buhari's failure.

Social media accounts and individuals who had previously shown their support for Buhari's shortcomings began criticizing Tinubu as soon as he took office. "Why were protests suddenly no longer HARAM? Praise be to Allah [SWT] [Allahu Akbar!] For this reason, we must be aware of power dynamics and exercise caution to avoid falling into the hands of our deadly political adversaries, the Zikists of the East, who disseminate false information and films in an effort to destabilize Yorubaland. No demonstration in Nigeria can be successful without the South-West.

The governing class was antagonistic to Tinubu and prepared to incite violence against him in an attempt to topple his government. He also inherited an empty treasury. Pa Awolowo has advised Nigeria to establish state or regional police since 1949, arguing that security is a prerequisite for any federal political system. Since Nigeria's unification, Tinubu is the only president to fully back the State police. Although unpleasant, the reforms will undoubtedly have a positive impact.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will usher Nigeria into a golden period, therefore let's be patient," he said.

He said that when President Bola Tinubu's administration came office last year, it inherited an empty treasury.

On Monday, a group of angry young Nigerians assembled in the capital city of Ibadan, Oyo State, to express their displeasure over the country's economic troubles and the rapidly rising cost of food while under Tinubu's leadership.

The demonstrators reportedly brandished posters that read, among other things, "Tinubu, don't forget your promises," "End food hike and inflation," and "The poor are starving" while they were in the state capital's Mokola neighborhood.

The Yoruba agitator asserted in a retort on his verified X handle on Sunday night that Tinubu's predecessor's poor judgment and ignorance were the reason behind the nation's economic collapse. "Nigerian politics is not ordinary; it is sophisticated ethnic warfare," he declared. There is just one winner and no second place.

Nigeria fell into an economic slumber under the feudal eight-year rule of Buhari and his CPC Islamic hardline alliance. Emefiele, a fellow PDP opportunist, used the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as his personal soup kitchen, giving money to his friends and family.

Where's your evidence?

In a tragic incident in Zamfara State, a Divisional Crime Officer (DCO) along with six others were reportedly killed during an assault on the police divisional headquarters in Zurmi Local Government Area. A local, Mohammed Ibrahim, shared with Punch that a large group of heavily armed bandits stormed the town of Zurmi, the LGA's center, at around 5 pm on Sunday, February 18, 2024. The attack not only led to loss of lives but also resulted in several shops being torched by the attackers.

Ibrahim recounted that upon their arrival, the bandits directly targeted the police station, unleashing a barrage of gunfire that resulted in the death of the DCO and injuries to other police officers. The attack also saw the police station set ablaze by the assailants.

This violent outbreak was reportedly in retaliation for the killing of three bandit members by local vigilantes, according to the witness. Ibrahim detailed an earlier confrontation where vigilantes, alongside police forces, had raided a bandit camp in the forest, killing three bandits and capturing another. The captured bandit was subsequently killed after a severe beating. Motivated by revenge for their fallen members, the bandits amassed and attacked the police station in Zurmi, mistakenly believing their captured comrade was held there.

Upon realizing their target was not in the station, they proceeded to set the facility on fire. Ibrahim noted that military personnel have since been deployed to the town, while the bandits retreated back into the forest.

In a tragic incident, the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State, Sylvanus Namang, has been fatally shot. The attack occurred at a pub within the Pankshin Local Government Area on Saturday, February 17, 2024, leading to the death of Namang and another individual.

A prominent figure within the APC, preferring to remain unnamed, verified the loss of Namang to the Punch in Jos on the following Sunday.

Confirming the incident, the source recounted, “Indeed, it's a fact that we've lost Sylvanus Namang, our spokesperson. He had attended a funeral in Pankshin on Saturday. Later, he stopped by a local eatery to make a purchase. During his visit, armed assailants entered the establishment and opened fire, striking him and another patron. Sadly, Namang succumbed to his injuries and passed away."

The source also shared that the second victim, identified as a local entrepreneur, died as a result of the injuries from the shooting.

The unexpected demise of Namang has left the community and his colleagues in shock, prompting calls for law enforcement to diligently investigate and apprehend those responsible for these senseless acts of violence.

Namang had a distinguished career, including a significant tenure as a director at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), where he managed Lafia FM Radio for four years. Additionally, he served as the Chief Press Secretary to the late Deputy Senate President, Senator Ibrahim Mantu.

In an important operation aimed at curbing smuggling and its impact on the escalating prices of commodities, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has seized 15 trucks loaded with food items in Sokoto State. The operation, disclosed by Abubakar Chafe, the spokesperson for the NCS Sokoto Command, took place on Saturday, February 17, 2024, along the Gwadabawa-Illela road.

The decision to intercept these vehicles was informed by the substantial quantities of farm produce they were transporting, indicating potential smuggling activities. The trucks are currently being held by the command as investigations are underway to determine the ownership and intended destinations of the seized food items.

This collaborative effort involved the NCS Sokoto command, the federal operation unit, and the intelligence unit of the service, highlighting the comprehensive approach taken by the NCS to address the issue. The operation underscores the service's commitment to mitigating the inflationary pressures on food items in Nigeria by preventing smuggling activities that contribute to rising commodity costs.

Lol... Public Complaint Commission is complaining; who should we run to now?

Cc: Seun, Lalasticlala the world needs to see this.

Which way Naija?

SoNature:
Opposition and criticism don't work in Nigeria.
They should just gather money, merge and challenge these animals in power fire for fire.

Logic and reasoning don't work in Nigeria. You must match the party in power money for money, rigging for rigging, and violence for violence.

How you gave up on Nigeria to this extent baffles me.

What about maintenance and sustainability?

It looks like Atiku has returned to Dubai as usual.

What are Peter Obi and Kwankwaso doing?

You know, when the opposition is on their tail, they will sit up and do the needful.

N3Billion: Northern Group Defends Gbajabiamila, says distractors have failed


Indication have emerged that some hawks within and outside the Presidential Villa, who are scheming to take over the job of the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, have hatched a plot to link the former speaker of the House of Representatives to the transactions carried out by the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.

Memos have continued to leak from the Humanitarian Affairs Ministry and its agencies, following the suspension of Edu, who is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Recall that a leaked memo dated December 18, 2023, from the Office of Chief of Staff to the President revealed that President Bola Tinubu had approved N3 billion from the COVID-19 Palliative Fund for verification of the National Social Register.

The memo had sparked outrage among some Nigerians on social media.

Reacting to the leaked memo,Northern Ethnic Group Assembly (NEYGA), in the statement signed by its spokesperson, Mr. Ibrahim Danmusa, shared with journalists said "distractors have failed in your plot against against the engine rooms of Tinubu administration".


According to the group,the latest memo that came out was just an attempt by some persons within and outside the Villa to tie Gbajabiamila to the Betta Edu investigation.

Ibrahim stated that :"This is a time for the government to settle down," commending the president for dismissing Betta Edu and questioning those attempting to implicate Gbajabiamila in a letter of approval.

The group wonders how the Chief of Staff can assume the position of authority, urging politicians to learn tolerance instead of engaging in a direct campaign of calumny against Gbajabiamila, who has served eight years as speaker without scandal.

Ibrahim asserted that mischief-makers are blinded by illiteracy behind the campaign of calumny against the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila.

He noted that such memos would continue to circulate, with Gbajabiamila as the prime target. The statement read, "To say Gbaja is an authority in law and a professor in government procedures is not an overstatement."

"It is clear some people are still seeking the downfall of one of the best brains in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, but they have failed.

"Someone who managed 360 elected representatives of the Federal House of Representatives for a solid four years without a blemish will not fall for a peanut. Detractors do not understand the quality and value of Femi Gbajabiamila.

"The Chief of Staff has crossed the bridge before it collapsed, so what they are pursuing is emptiness the second day after the Market day!

"We, the concerned citizens for good governance, will soon expose all of you behind the evils you planned.

"It is now an open secret that you want the government of President Bola Tinubu to fail by trying to pull down the pillars of support behind him.

"Whether you are a Christian or Muslim, whatever you sow, you shall reap. We will go after all of you and expose you to the world.

"The current Chief of Staff has not faced twenty percent of the attacks one of his predecessors, Abba Kyari, got over wrong allegations. President Tinubu’s verdict on his Chief of Staff’s integrity is known to the public."
