You know the truth behind all this internal problems in all this opposition parties, but because you are supporting evil apc. You refused to acknowledge the truth.

Even a secondary school students understand that apc have hands in all of this, they keep bribing these guys with billions of naira. Money they can't reject or say no to and juicy promises to destroy ADC etc internally for apc.

My little brother even smart more than you, if you believe APC don't have hands in all of this problems.

Look this is how Tinubu operates, that is his trademark. He doesn't like oppositions. Same thing he did in Lagos State

Stop talking nonsense! This was a very simple challenge from the beginning! Just allow Bala to be national chairman, let him call a national congress or NWC meeting, then impeach him. Kpakam. Problem solved.

givedemwotowoto:
Notice a disturbing pattern here.

Lamidi Apapa of LP declared himself interim national chairman, then a court backed him. LP was thrown into crisis because of this. At some point during this externally induced crisis, Abure had issues with LP leadership and they removed him as chairman. As soon as party leadership removed him, the court recognized him as LP party chairman, further deepening the crisis in the party.

Again, the same template was used on ADC. Nafiu Bala declares himself interim national chairman. The National Executive Committee of the party didn't recognize him, they made David Mark chairman. Bala even resigns from his self-proclaimed position. The party's NEC never at any point communicated to INEC recognizing Bala as chairman.

Despite all this, the court and INEC decide to step into something that is purely an internal party issue.

This is not democracy.

There's a reason you have to wait for court judgements

ZombieTERROR:
Wike, Kachikwu, Kayamo, etc knows more than the ex INEC director?

never...

they're all sycophants, killing this country

It's clear Amupitan is an APc mole
he showed his hands too early

Oga. Stop talking nonsense! INEC is right. The court is not a place for emotions. Bala has a 90% chance of winning this case. So after winning, you want to foist a fate accompli on him? The court said status quo be maintained!

Jacoban20:
Oga, it could not have been forced. This was you behind David Mark the day the coalition was formed

Stop writing trash! In Mr Nafiu's statement, he said he attended a meeting where they were to welcome new members into the party. He did not say he attended a meeting where Mr Mark was to be made chairman of the party.

Kukutente23:
Where did you get this funny idea from? So all other countries in Africa were overpaying for fuel except Nigeria? Wonderful

Oga, do you know how to read? Or, has West Africa now become African to you?

Oga has collected lobby money from IPOB. Even with the increment, PMS in Nigeria is still the cheapest in West Africa. Why is this so?
Other countries were paying more than necessary before. Now that there's a global issue, those countries just maintained their prices because the increment was not up to what they were paying before.

This man should stop talking nonsense! If there was anything like genuine support, no one will decamp from any political party. It's all about interest not genuine support.

Tell me if this is not the same sh!t that's been playing before now? Same scenario, different actors. How is the ADC different from the APC?
These people are only interested in collecting their share of the national cake. Tinubu must continue!

brain54:
It was only a matter of time before kwakwasu left the nnpp...


The party was too regional and had become like a shoe that the owner had outgrown.


It's obvious if he wanted to contest a wider and More national position he had to leave or merge to form a bigger alliance.


I'm even surprised it took him this long. It's almost similar with how the AD had to merge with the the cpc to get a wider and more national reach!

Oga, it's not similar! Decamping is different from merging!

One thing you guys fail to realise is that structure is very important. Structure is what motivate people to come out to vote. Most people will prefer to stay at home. Structure is what brings them out. Structure is what enforces strongholds. Look at what happened to people that wanted to vote APC in the SE in 2023! Most were insulted, beaten or driven away. If apc had a structure in the SE to resist such, will that have happened? Will others at the side not have had the courage to come out. This is where governors come in. They fund structures. Even when oppositions are a majority, structures influence criminality to prevent voting either through ɓallot box snatching or gun shots in the vicinity to prevent votes from coming out. Rigging can the commence.

Nigeria is currently facing a serious rise in the cost of living, and fuel prices are at the center of the crisis. Many Nigerians are now sharing their real-life experiences, and the situation is becoming alarming.

In this video, we highlight shocking reactions from Nigerians who say that ₦100,000 is no longer enough to fill a car fuel tank. One individual revealed spending over ₦93,000 just to fill up, while another claimed to have spent more than ₦300,000 on fuel in just one week. These are not isolated cases — they reflect what millions of Nigerians are going through daily.

With unstable electricity supply, many households and businesses rely heavily on fuel to power generators. As fuel prices continue to rise, the cost of transportation, food, and basic living also increases. This has led to growing frustration across the country.

Some people are even pointing out that major roads, including the Third Mainland Bridge, appear less busy than usual — a possible sign that fewer people can afford to move around like before.

Stupid talk! Does a poor man fill his tank?*

@Mr poser, the question you should be asking is if the economy actually paid you that amount or if it was borrowed to pay you? I can remember vividly that salaries were owed and borrowed during this era

Who's talking! This is a man that refused to pay rent to a widow for over 10 years! Did the widow and heɍ children die like flies?
Rubbish and ingredients

Lies! 5k fuel (about 3 to 4L) on a bike can go for about 30 to 40 kilometres. A drop on a bike for a journey of about 2 km will be about ₦500 or more. And when they don't have passengers, they remain in one place. So this is bullshit

This is just ranting! The Northern agenda will not work this time.
When we had backlogs of debts, when only $3 billion was in our reserves, when we could not pay our own counterpart fundings to the IOCs, when States were owing workers months of salaries, when there were fuel queues miles long, when ASUU was going on strike half of the calendar year, when rice was ₦120k, and when the UN building in Abuja was bombed, we were not in trouble right? Nonsense and ingredients.
As the saying goes, " the further backwards you look, the further forward you will see"

Oga, it's time you move to Togo!

JuanDeDios:
Affordability (minimum wage) is relevant since YOU want to compare prices across countries. The issue is what's best for the economy. You're just another NL olodo who had no clue we have taxes on petroleum products. Bye.

All these ITK! What has minimum wage go to do with price of pms? There is no correlation whatsoever! For government to subsidize, it has to take the money from somewhere else. Where do you want the government to take the money from? Rubbish and ingredients

JuanDeDios:
if you believe there are no taxes involved in our pump price, I have a bridge to sell you. How many taxes did the Dangote Refinery man say they pay the other day, even on what they sell locally?

Your argument about pricing is flawed. What is the minimum wage in those countries? What is the PCI/standard of living in those countries? The fact is that N1200 for PMS is too high. It's too high because apart from the human suffering it brings, it has devastating effects on the economy and will wipe out the gains already made. The government has a responsibility to think of long term economics effects and the plight of the people.

Oga, stop talking nonsense! Minimum wage has nothing to do with the price of PMS. PMS is an international commodity. You can only reduce its price through subsidies or tax reduction

JuanDeDios:
During the media chat, when Mr Kolade-Otitoju asked the President about "price control" and the president dismissed it in favour of tackling the causes of price rises, I said, "Finally, a president that understands basic economics."

But when he recently said he would not reintroduce subsidies on petroleum products in the face of rising prices due to the war between Trump and Netanyahu and Iran, I realised we may be dealing with an administration whose policymaking is steeped in dogma.

Serious leaders the world over recognise the dangers of the current energy situation and are taking steps to mitigate the effects on their people.

In Europe, Germany, Belgium, Italy and others are introducing price caps on petroleum products (meaning the government will subsidize the prices if they rise beyond a certain point).

Denmark, Austria and Italy are paying lump sums to poor households to help them cope.

Spain, Poland and others are reducing all sorts of VATs, duties and taxes to rein in energy prices.

Note that these are not oil-producing countries profiting from rising crude prices. Nigeria, on the other hand, is set to make a "windfall" from the rising prices. So one wonders why Mr Tinubu's advisers have not told him of the need to take a little of the cash they've raked in since subsidy was declared "gone" or the one they're set to make now to subsidize petrol prices at the pump.

The critique of the subsidy regime in the past is that it was heavily compromised by corruption. Well, I'm sure they can do it better now since we won't have to do import-based subsidies. They can simply work with local refineries and work out a tidy crude swap process by which a designated amount of crude can be refined for local use.

All analysts are saying that the worst is yet to come - Iran is not backing down; several oil, gas and refining facilities have now been hit and will take a long time to fix; and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. People can't go to work. Nigerians are facing rising poverty. The recent economic gains

stronger GDP growth rate
naira stability
reduced inflation
rising foreign reserves
better stock market performance
falling debt-to-GDP ratio
better trade balance

the country has made will be wiped out by hyperinflation. For the much-touted gains of subsidy removal, it's going to be one step forward and two backward.

I know Nigerians are a compliant people so the government can sleep easy even as they prepare for elections. But subsidizing PMS now - until the crisis is over - is the right thing to do. I hope President Tinubu does it.

Oga, check the prices in these countries you mentioned, you'll discover that what these countries are doing is not subsidies but reduction in taxes. Their prices far surpass the price of PMS in the international market. Our price is just basic with no taxes involved

These are sensational news with no substance! How do you compare two unequal things? Why compare 2023 with 2024 and 2025 using naira when you know our currency was devalued? We also know that the commodity is priced in dollars.

You people should stop this entitlement mentality. Something is better than nothing! If he doesn't give, no one can bend his hand! It iß better to give one million people touch lights than give a hundred people bag of rice.

All these type of silly headlines self! Do political thugs have an association or union where they come together to speak as one? Do we have a job description called political thug?

"UK-based Naija guy fills up 53 litres of petrol and pays £97... that's roughly ₦190,000 at today's rate! 😱 He shouts 'UK life is just suffering and smiling' and asks how much the same fuel costs back home in Nigeria right now.

Watch him react in real time + see why Nigerians online are dragging him hard (Minimum wage UK vs Naija comparison incoming...)
Current reality check (March 2026):

UK petrol ~£1.42/litre (avg)
Nigeria petrol ~₦1,000–1,200/litre (varies by state)
But UK minimum wage ~£1,000–1,200/month vs Nigeria ₦70,000/month
Is abroad really suffering or selective comparison? Drop your thoughts below!

but you cannot even rent a bed sitter with your minimum wage in UK. Now do the comparison again

Trump with all his baggage is the president of the USA. So, stop all this nonsense gaslighting. It will not work. A person is innocent until proven guilty in a competent court with jurisdiction.

Elusive001:
Despite decreasing local production, these imports, estimated at about N1 trillion, caused a supply excess since last year, prompting calls by the National Agribusiness Policy Mechanism (NAPM) for the government to stop additional imports in order to save local farmers.

Kolawale Oye, the Managing Director/CEO of Infinera Agribusiness Ltd on his LinkedIn said even in “the government’s own national food balance data, Nigeria recorded a rice surplus of roughly 1.1 million tonnes by December 2025. But that surplus wasn’t a success of local farms and mills, it was driven by imports.”


Agbadorians where una dey? Make una come tell the strategy of the "master strategist".

Oga, the issue is standards. Are the equipments bought by these millers not up to standards? Why still produce rice with stones? If they're standard equipments, then there'll be no difference between the local and imported rice. If Dangote is producing low quality fuel, no one will buy it. And with the advantage of nearness to market, cheap labour and no tax on foodstuffs, local rice is supposed to be cheaper

gidgiddy:
Yes, your government is very considerate of terrorist Boko haram who claim to be repented and released five thousand of them without trial. Congratulate your federal government

Oga! Are you not an IPOB member? Are you under arrest? IPOB and Boko Haram are names of terrorist groups. In these groups, not everyone is a killer. Therefore, those that know little or nothing or have been brainwashed like you, when caught, can be released if they show repentance.

gidgiddy:
Unlike Adolf Hitler, Kanu went to court. Your government could not point to one single act of violence by him. All they said is that he "he said this, he said that" on a Radio broadcast

While Kanu was in court, your Nigerian government released five thousand Boko haram without any of them seeing a court room


https://m.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/1/5000-repentant-boko-haram-fighters-reunited-with-families-fg.html

Oga, stop talking nonsense! Kanu is not being held against his rights! It was the courts that jailed him.
Also, you're trying to be holier than the pope. From the link you presented, you can see the word "repentant" there, but you still went ahead to present it. If Kanu repents today, he will be freed immediately! Just like Peter Obi said on subsidy

Common sense is not common! From Sowore's statement, he's not matured enough to know what the word "responsibility" means. From it, we can postulate that Adolf Hitler was innocent because he only made speeches and gave commands. He did not carry the gun that did the killings! Also it means that we cannot hold our leaders liable for the situation the country finds itself. This is because they only give orders! They don't enforce.
