Your president commissioned 4% of a road. That's the summary of all you've said. And it's not strategy, it's stupidity.

Let's use you as an example, if you're building a house do you throw fanfare when the foundation of the house was dug, and then throw fanfare when it gets to lintel level, and another fanfare when it gets to roofing?
Doesn't this sound stupid to you?

You're trying to claim he has to commission thus part during his tenure, is his tenure ending today? He still has 2 more years so why the rush? He ran to commission less than 25km just for photo-ops. So it'll seem like he's working. That's the truth and you know it

Stop talking nonsense! You're not part of the ministry of works. Therefore you don't know what percentage of work have been completed. The road is ongoing at the two ends. Lagos and Calabar. The road was divided into sections. The ministry in charge of the project said section one has been completed. Who are you to say otherwise!

Putindbutt:
Where's your shame?. Mbappe & Messi have both won the World Cup, they are above Ronaldo's league.

Winning the world cup is a team work but scoring goals! You can ask Mbappe if it's easy to score goals

Zeebuy:
Lolzzzzz, Nigeria is comedy central. And the funny thing is you'll always see people defending these devilish leaders

To you it's devilish but to me it's strategy. One is to take glory for what you do while at the same time creating awareness to the public. This is why the project was divided into sections or phases. When a section is completed, it will be commissioned. This strategy will prevent the project from becoming a white elephant because some presidents will not like to continue the work of their predecessors since they're not the ones that commissioned it. But in this case, you commission whatever part you complete. Therefore if Tinubu does not complete it , he will take credit for only the part he did while the next president takes credit for the rest.

Zeebuy:
Your leaders have done worse in disgracing the country. How can a whole president go to commission a road that is less than 5% done,m
Commissioning is supposed to be after a project is completed, by your leaders are busy dancing naked in the marketsquare, and you're here trying to gaslight people who are asking them to be honest

Some people commissioned a map!

Former spokesperson of Atiku Abubakars 2019 Presidential Campaign took to his verified Twitter page to announce that he paid a fruitful visit to President Bola Tinubu.

Soon Atiku himself will decamp

Cleanthes:
thats very bad of him. somebody tell him that he is marrying a human not an angel. just because of one single lie he canceled the marriage, Nigerian men are selfish wallahi

Why can't she tell him that she's at the market! You call it a single lie but if you look at the big picture, you'll know that the man dodged a bullet.
Going to the market is not a bad thing. No one will castigate you for that. Then why lie? It's because lies have become a habit to her. Now, if she can lie for small things as going to the market, what will she do when push comes to shove?

If the write up had said "APC governor constructing a 5 star hotel in Enugu", people would've checked who started the job and how it's been funded. But since it's PDP, nobody cares.

Zeebuy:
Y'all should just shut it abeg. This is getting disgusting. You're trying your best to defend the indefensible but you're simply disgracing yourself. Would've been best if you had just shut up

Disgrace myself indeed! It's so painful that citizens of a country will be the ones trying to bring it down just because they don't like the face of the president! For a long time, people have been commissioning roads, no one has ever gone about measuring them. Then, why this time if not for hatred and trying to put the government down! At least the road is still ongoing. It has not been abandoned. So you guys can see that you're the ones disgracing yourselves.

I doubt a man made this comment

Factcheck0001:
don't mind them

Someone who made poverty rise in tiny Anambra believe he will do magic in 36 states?

The only people that takes this man serious are those who need Ibo president desperately, I will prefer otti, umahi, soludo over him a million times cos we can see what those ones are doing

Sometimes I wonder if Obi is a dictator! He speaks like one. Does he think Nigeria is like Anambra where he couldn't perform even with his dictatorial tendencies! He didn't conduct LGA elections for 8 years, he refused to pay minimum wage, and he was killing the youths like flies without due process. Nigeria is far more than that. You have to pass a budget before you spend. The house have the powers to amend and even refuse part of your budget. Just look at the Tax reforms, it's been nearly 2 years now! Does he think he would have done it faster with his less than 5% Labour party at the NASS? This man needs to think before he talks

The problem with Rufai is that he studied Animal husbandry. Reno said he drove to the 30km point. He never said it was two lane, one lane, tarred, concreted or asphalted. He said he drove! Now can you dispute that fact?

This is why English language is compulsory in all facet of education! The word "partner in daring" does not mean a business partner. It means partner in taking risk. What the president is saying is that achieving the eko Atlantic project was risky

This is trash! From what I understand from the stat, it's talking about someone that has had sex before marriage and with someone who they don't live with. In this case having sex with your boyfriend counts against you. It therefore means that the South East should be higher. In the SE, a woman of 38 years will still not be married and also not have a live-in lover. They'll will prefer to go to a hotel or come to your place, chop and clean mouth! They pretend a lot. The SS will have sex outside wedlock but will live with the man and start having kids with him. The North West are the chief pretenders of the lot. There, everyone is having sex but no one wants to acknowledge that they've ever seen a dick.

BlackViper:
🤔

There are 3 options for Musk:

1. He quits politics entirely and focuses his energies only on running his many businesses

2. He quits the Republican Party, but remains in politics and decides to create a 3rd party or support an independent candidate (something he has spoken of doing before and something which another Billionaire called Ross Perot tried in 1992 and it cost Republicans the Presidency which they lost to Bill Clinton)

3. He plays the long game and reconciles with Trump in anticipation of throwing his weight behind his own preferred Republican candidate in the 2028 U.S Presidential Elections.

I personally think he'll go for option 3, but nothing is guaranteed at the moment.

For one thing, he can never become a Democrat because they have spent the past decade demonising him as a Nazi, calling him a white supremacist and destroying Tesla car dealerships all over the United States.

Musk himself is forbidden from running for the Presidency of the United States because he is a first generation immigrant.

Under the American Constitution, a first-generation immigrant cannot run for the office of U.S. President.

The U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 1) requires that the president be a "natural born Citizen" of the United States. This means the person must have been born a U.S. citizen, typically by being born on U.S. soil or to U.S. citizen parents abroad. First-generation immigrants, who are born outside the U.S. to non-citizen parents and later become citizens, do not meet this requirement.

No 2 is out of order! Trump does not own the Republican party.

This supreme Court sometimes act as if their brains are wired up side down. If an armed robber comes into their house with a gun and they also have a gun, will they try to escape or fight back?

Kobojunkie:
1. I have never actually met parents who did that... loved their kids equally.

2. I don't know if it is possible, and it would be great if it were. But I have yet to meet parents who do.

It is very possible. I give myself as an example. But in terms of protection, you protect the younger ones more. I give all of them equal attention. In terms of gifts, I buy equally. I don't allow fighting no matter who offends who. I don't punish, I advise. They're all my pride

Oreoluwa1996:
You see, the problem isn’t just that people talk nonsense—it’s that they do so with confidence and no historical memory.

Let me help you remember since your memory seems to have taken a sabbatical:

Yes, politicians come and go.

But when someone who was planted in government corridors to whisper sabotage suddenly “resigns,” it’s not just a random event—it’s a cleanup, not a coincidence.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed was not some tea boy; he was Peter Obi’s running mate’s brother and held a sensitive advisory role under a president he and his camp openly undermined.

When such a person quietly resigns, you should ask: What were they doing there in the first place?

Under Jonathan, Nigeria hemorrhaged security—not because the military was weak, but because the loyalty structure was compromised.

People like Dasuki made sure funds meant for weapons disappeared into private pockets.

Instead of drones and airstrikes, we got jingles and body counts.

Yet people like you blamed Jonathan without calling out the embedded saboteurs.

Then came Buhari—eight years of sleeping at the wheel while terrorists released from “deradicalization programs” regrouped.

Instead of action, we got silence.

Prison breaks.
Mass abductions.
Ransoms.

...the man couldn’t sack a gatekeeper, let alone address insecurity.

Now Tinubu steps in.
No excuses.
No “GEJ left insecurity for me” speech.
Just coordinated military strikes, decimation of bandit camps, and cleansing of planted moles—and you’re angry it’s news?

Why?
Because it shows the difference between action and excuse-making?!

Meanwhile, people like you keep carrying Obi like a porcelain messiah.
The same Obi that keeps one leg in Nigeria and the other at the IPOB family reunion.
The same Obi whose own state, Anambra, is practically the blueprint for pothole governance and “Agbero federalism.”
The man talks about fixing Nigeria but couldn’t fix Ochanja market road. Laughable.!

So yes, i’ll talk about (Baba-Ahmed and co.) resigning.

Because under Tinubu, Nigeria is no longer a lounge for fifth columnists.
Some people's favourites had years to build—what they did was loot, leak, and lie.

Welcome to a new era.
Keep crying, but kindly do it with facts next time.

Oga! Stop talking rubbish. You've turned beer parlour gist to hot news. Hakeem baba Ahmed was planted in the corridors of power as what? Rubbish. Like I said , politicians will always come and go, the party remains. Just this week, we were told that the Adeleke family visited Tinubu! Would anyone had believed this to be true! Hakeem baba Ahmed has the right to camp, decamps, recamp to any party of his choice. He's a nobody.
Someone like the governor of Akwa Ibom state have been making move to join the APC, that's no news to you. But an unknown, an aide to an aide to the VP decamps and you write one unintelligent write-up. Noise!

Oreoluwa1996:
BREAKING PATRIOTISM: Why Abdullahi's Exit From APC Is Another Loud Whisper That Nigeria Needs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in 2027 🇳🇬🔥

📰 Shock Resignations.
Silent Exits.
Northern elite discontent.

Mohammed H. Abdullahi, former Minister of Environment under Buhari, just quit APC.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed — silent resignation, no clear reason.

More will follow.

Let’s stop pretending we don’t know what’s going on.

This is not politics as usual.

It’s the elite rejection of a Tinubu-led war on terror, tribal greed, and inherited impunity.

Because while Tinubu is finally doing what Northern elites never dared — confronting terror sponsors, shaking the old tables, and trying to rebuild real federalism —
many are jumping ship.

Why?

Because the poor North wants peace, but the elite North wants power. (Elites want Power but the People want Peace)

🚨 But here’s the truth: Tinubu’s vision will collapse without a stabiliser.!

A real one.

Not a PR Vice President who disappears during national crises.
Not a benchwarmer with tribal loyalty but zero reform credibility.

This country is too fragile for decoration politics.

We need someone who commands global respect and domestic discipline.

🎓 Someone who rescued us from debt in the 2000s.
💰 Who can negotiate capital, not just chop it.
🗣 Who speaks truth to power and gets results.

●|□

👑 Enter Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Not as a woman.
Not even as a political icon.
But as a rescue partner — the exact counterbalance to Tinubu’s style of raw courage.

Because power is not enough.
Peace is not enough.
Policy is everything.

So yes, Shettima may be loyal.
But Nigeria doesn’t need loyalty.
It needs delivery.!
We don’t need a co-pilot in shadows.
We need a woman who’s sat at the table with the world’s economic titans, and held her own.

🛑 Because let’s be honest:

The North is bleeding.

The South is burning.

The East is exhausted.

The West is waiting.

...and the centre must hold — or we all fall.

So when people like Abdullahi and Baba-Ahmed jump ship without cause, we must see it for what it is:

📢 A sign that Tinubu needs a better co-pilot — one who doesn’t just balance the ticket, but lifts the nation.

•●

Dear Tinubu, if you want to retire as a hero of history, not just a headline of ambition — you need Dr. Ngozi beside you in 2027.

Let the patriots unite.
Let the enemies of peace fall apart.
Let us rise with brains, not just biceps.

This is ridiculous! Some unknown resigns from APC, it's a big news and you write a long epistle about it. Governors, Senators, Rep members former ministers, Opposition party chieftains defect to APC, it no news. It's just corrupt politicians bargaining their way out from EFCC's litigation. Oga! It's a normal thing. Politicians come and go as they please but the party remains.

BeardedMeat:
King and serf.

Who's king and who's serf?

Orji uzor kalu as a politician has no place in the hearts of SEs.

Reno is a voice for hire. The only Nigerian living abroad but looking for crumbs from the table here

So you want OUK to be a voice for hire! Is that why you want him to be discussed? Like I said Kings don't discuss serfs.

tonesky:
Orji Kalu is not Peter Obi's match, so he should be afraid of the Peter the Rock. His eight ( as governor in Abia was via election rigging. He has no place in the heart of South Easterners.

But Reno that discuss him everyday is what? OUK doesn't want to discuss about Obi because he doesn't want to make the interview about him. You don't see Kings discussing about serfs

The ebipawa crew are only interested in the plate of food in front of them. No matter what the government does, it's not their concern.

Avedonn:
This coastal road project is unnecessary. The government should instead prioritize initiatives that stimulate sustainable economic growth. This includes creating a viable business environment to attract both foreign and domestic investment, while simultaneously empowering local businesses.

This would generate more meaningful employment opportunities, directly addressing the root causes of poverty and reducing the alarming crime rates fueled largely by joblessness and desperation.

The existing roadway linking Lagos to the South-South region already provides the necessary connectivity. Rather than embarking on a costly new project, the government should focus on efficiently rehabilitating and maintaining the existing road to ensure it remains safe and fully motorable.

This will represents a far more strategic allocation of public resources than the coastal road, which appears to be a misplaced priority.

The road itself is part of the " creating an enabling environment for business to thrive". It's also a means of creating employment and empowering local SMEs such as suppliers of chippings, laterite, asphalt etc. we're too focused on free money.

Your Misguided Rant on Police Powers

The arrogance in your reply is only matched by your shallow understanding of how justice systems work—both in principle and in practice.

Let’s break it down for your sake:

1. Yes, the Police Investigate — But They’re Not Gods

Saying only the police can investigate crime doesn’t mean their actions are beyond scrutiny. In any sane society, law enforcement is subject to oversight—by the public, the media, the courts, legislative bodies, and civil society. If the Nigerian Police were infallible, we wouldn’t have decades of reports on abuse, bribery, and politically-motivated arrests. So stop acting like questioning them is a crime.

2. Your Understanding of Law is Laughably Basic

You seem to think that once a person is “charged to court,” all questions must stop. That’s nonsense. Asking how an investigation was done, whether due process was followed, or if the arrest smells of political vendetta, is not “ignorance.” It’s called critical thinking—something clearly foreign to you.

3. Committees, Lawyers, Even “Social Media Groups” Have a Role

Oversight can come from anywhere—legislative committees, bar associations, rights groups, even informed citizens on platforms like Nairaland. Trying to shut down public inquiry because you’re obsessed with defending power shows where your loyalties lie—not with justice, but with silence and submission.

4. Insulting People Doesn’t Make You Right

Your attempt to shame others into silence with words like “ignorant” is pathetic. It’s what people do when they run out of facts. If you were so sure the process was sound, you’d welcome questions—not run from them.

Bottom line: Blindly defending police action without accountability is exactly why justice keeps getting hijacked in this country. If you love authority more than truth, say it plainly and stop pretending you’re defending law and order. You’re just enabling impunity—and that’s not intelligent, it’s dangerous.

Stop talking nonsense! I never said the police are gods! What I said is that they're giving the powers by the constitution to investigate criminal offenses. And the method with which they go about it can only be questioned by a court of competent jurisdiction.

shortgun:
Thieves!!!
So it's now the obligation of traders to pay for investigation.
This statement is not only insensitive but also provocative

Oga stop talking nonsense! Don't bring politics into something that can destroy a whole generation! If collection of these charges are against the law, the traders can take nafdac to court.

It's so unfortunate that your eyes are just glued to the plate of rice in front of you!

All what you wrote is trash! The Police is not required by any law to advertise, publish or inform the public of the position or the stage of their investigation of a case before presenting it to a court of competent jurisdiction. You're not part of the case, so. it doesn't concern you. It's left for journalists to either publish it or not depending on what they feel about it.

Speed Darlington is saying the truth. Why should there be two laws in this country. Abi northerners get two heads! So long as it's not rape, abeg free the man joor!

CreativeOrbit:
No, I am not the police officer. And frankly, your attempt to sidestep the core issue with that irrelevant question only reveals your lack of comprehension—or worse, your deliberate attempt to mislead.

You claim the allegations were 'investigated and found to be false.' By whom? When? Where is the independent, publicly verifiable report? Or are you just parroting what you were told without a shred of critical thought? Because in any credible legal system, an investigation's conclusion isn't declared through hearsay or vague write-ups—it's documented and open to scrutiny.

And for your information, if a petition has been properly treated, there is a paper trail. There is acknowledgment, follow-up, and transparency. None of which has been evident in this case. So unless you're in possession of official documents to prove otherwise, you’re just speculating—loudly and ignorantly.

Next time you try to lecture anyone about the status of a petition, bring facts. Not assumptions, not biased conclusions—facts. Until then, save your empty declarations. They carry no weight.

The questions you're asking only shows how ignorant you are. It's only the police that's granted the powers to investigate criminal offenses in Nigeria. Not some so called committee or social media group. The police doesn't have to tell anyone how where and when they carried out their investigation. All they need do is to charge the offender to court after investigation has been carried out. Which they've done in this case. Anyone that have issues with the investigation can join issues or give advise to the defense

CreativeOrbit:
Oga, before you come online to regurgitate half-digested legal basics, get your facts straight. Yes, only the government can formally charge someone with a criminal case, but you're conveniently skipping the first and most crucial step—the petition. And guess what? Natasha was the first to submit a formal petition to the IGP. She followed due process to the letter, which is more than can be said for the political hypocrites scrambling to cover tracks.

Your statement reads like someone trying to sound informed while missing the entire point. Individuals can't prosecute, yes—but they initiate the process. Natasha didn't just make noise—she took legal action. So don’t lecture us like you’ve uncovered some grand truth. What you’re doing is downplaying the lawful steps she already took, all because it doesn’t fit your biased narrative. Either you’re being willfully ignorant, or you’re just echoing noise with zero comprehension. Pick one.

Are you the police officer that Natasha submitted the petition to? Also, from the write up, it was clearly stated that the allegation of organ trafficking and murder attempt has been investigated and found to be false, hence the charge of criminal defamation. So how do you know that the police has not treated your so called petition!

Klington:


Under GEJ it was a free for all to the point that one white headed FRAUDFESSOR called him a Nebuchadnezzar and his wife a shepopotamous.

I doubt you read write up. Here is a preview.

(In Nwankwo v. State, the Court of Appeal declared certain provisions of the Criminal Code relating to sedition as unconstitutional for infringing upon the right to freedom of expression under the 1979 Constitution. The court emphasized that public officers must tolerate criticism, even if it is harsh or unflattering.)
Here! Public officers must tolerate criticism even if it's harsh or unflattering! But not criminal defamation
