Na Nigeria matter be our problem now.

I like Buhari's government because the hardship and suffering cut across everybody, I am very sure no APC member is buying diesel for #280 or #300, even the rich are crying now.

Why would someone with complete brain and sense still open his or her mouth in support of this fail government and the failures warming up for 2023?

Your president is in UK hospital undergoing medical checkup, their party chairman is in UK hospital undergoing medical checkup as well, and his citizens are suffering, Our Universities shutdown, no good health care, no light, no fuel, no diesel, no good road, no running water, with wanton corruption here and there, nothing is working, and you see nothing wrong with that? That's wow!!

I have come to realize that the problem of Nigeria is not majorly lack of education but mental illness and slavery. we have majority of supposed educated people still speaking big big English that cannot buy then fuel in filling station, opening their mouths and chanting sai Baba, vote Tinubu, vote Atiku.

Nigeria is afflicted with majority of foolish people unfortunately.

If you say you won't have sense, na suffering go kill you las las.

Atiku, Tinubu and the rest have been in politics before majority of you were born, the problems they couldn't solved in over 20years, they're coming to tell you now that they will solve them and you start chanting like canary.

If you like, vote Tinubu and Atiku again and other failures, your suffering just started

Suffering go reset your brain.

Hypocritical lots.

Why hasn't the western world sanctioned Nigerian oligarchs and politicians? As we have seen from the Ukraine and Russian war, the western world can move against oligarchs and politicians through seizing their properties and asset and travel bans that aided Putin.

Why hasn't the western world sanctioned the fantastically corrupt oligarchs and politicians that aided IBB,OBJ,Abacha,Buhari,GEJ ,Yaradua and Shagari as they plundered the country and looted $600 billion dollars since 1960?

Deji Adeyanju, convener of Concerned Nigerian, on Friday said Nigeria cannot survive another Yoruba Presidency in 2023.

Adeyanju said the Yoruba nation can’t produce Nigeria’s president because most of the country’s competent people are not in the southwest.

In a tweet, the rights activist said the Igbos should be allowed to produce Nigeria’s president in 2023.

He noted that power was not created for the Yoruba nation alone.

According to Adeyanju: “Nigeria will not survive what some tribalistic Yoruba people are planning for 2023. Igbo presidency must be on the table now. A Yoruba person can’t be president in 2023 because power will return to the North after another 8yrs. Igbos are Nigerians too.


“All the competent people are not in the South West. Power was not created for only Yoruba people. #Equity #Fairness #Justice”

From the southwest, Bola Tinubu has signified interest to run for the Presidency.

There are also speculations that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo may also run for the Presidency.

However, some political stakeholders have been clamouring for an Igbo presidency in 2023.

Ndimkpurummiri:
In the aftermath of the declaration by Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, that she was unsatisfied with the apology issued by the former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, the latter has decided to take a belligerent position.

Mr. Fani-Kayode, in a statement by his Personal Assistant, Tosin Emmanuel, said that he welcomes “whatever course of action” Mrs. Ojukwu’s lawyer intends to pursue.

The former minister also said that he would institute his own legal proceedings against the widow of the late Biafran warlord “for her barefaced and malicious lies and consistent claim” that she has never met him.

After claiming, in his controversial piece ‘A Word For Those Who Call Me A Tribalist’ that he had had a “long-standing and intimate relationship” with Mrs. Ojukwu while she was unmarried; Mr. Fani-Kayode Thursday, withdrew the comment.

Mr. Fani-Kayode had also extended his ‘retraction’ to Adaobi Uchegbu and Chioma Anasoh, the two other ladies he mentioned in his article.

But Mrs. Ojukwu, in her response, stated that Mr. Fani-Kayode’s statement “falls far short of an apology and retraction.”

“Whilst it is important to reiterate that Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu has never met Chief Femi Kayode and does not know him in person, it is pertinent to note that the statement issued through Mr Akinola Babatunde Rotimi, falls far short of an apology and retraction of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode’s false and libelous outbursts and is merely a desperate attempt to lend credence to fabrications, which he seeks to present as reality with intent to gloss over the very serious issues arising from the reckless publication,” Mrs. Ojukwu said in a statement by her Personal Assistant, Isaac Igboanu.

“In the circumstances, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu is left with no option than to leave the matter in the hands of her lawyers,” she added.

The former beauty queen’s reply angered Mr. Fani-Kayode who responded, on Monday, with a tersely worded statement saying that Mrs. Ojukwu’s demeanour indicates that she is desperate to go to war over the issue as well as cover up “the truth about their past.”

“We really do wonder what Mrs. Ojukwu really wants from Chief Fani-Kayode and what her agenda really is?

“Throughout this matter Chief Fani-Kayode has chosen the path of peace and has attempted to avoid an ugly and public quarrel with Bianca Ojukwu out of respect to the memory of her late father Chief C.C. Onoh and the memory of her late husband, Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said.

The ex-minister stated that despite “bending over backwards” to publicly withdraw his comments in several national and online newspapers, Mrs. Ojukwu has refused to be appeased.

“This is sad and unfortunate and it is beyond the imagination of anyone that a serving Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would so readily and so easily be given to telling such lies.

“Chief Fani-Kayode is not comfortable with publicly joining issues with ladies when it comes to matters of a private nature such as this because he was well brought up and he is a gentleman but it is clear that Bianca Ojukwu is desperate to go to war over this issue and to cover up the truth about their past,” said Mr. Fani-Kayode.

“It is also clear that she has constituted herself into the arrowhead of a group of people that are determined to use her and this whole unsavoury episode to attempt to distract attention from the wider and more important issues raised in the essay and to discredit him.

“Since that is the case we welcome whatever action Ojukwu wishes to take in court and we shall gladly meet her there.

“We will also be instigating our own legal proceedings against her in due course for her barefaced and malicious lies and her consistent claim that she has never met Chief Fani-Kayode all in an attempt to libel, defame, diminish and discredit him before the entire world,” he added.

Mr. Fani-Kayode reiterated that not only did he have a relationship with Mrs. Ojukwu, but that he “knew her far better than she cares to publicly admit.”

“The precise nature of that relationship will be explored and exposed in open court,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said.

“It is not in the nature of Chief Fani-Kayode to fight unnecessary and distractive battles over flippant matters such as this but on this occasion he has been compelled to do so simply because he will do whatever it takes to protect his integrity and establish the fact that he has told no lie.

“Since she has continued her shameless perfidy and wishes to tread the path of deceit and confrontation then so be it.

“Finally let it be clearly understood that at no point did Chief Fani-Kayode lie about the nature of his relationship with Ojukwu. However he did not feel that it was appropriate or necessary to share the details of that relationship with the public because he felt that such matters were strictly private.

“The fact that she mistook his mature exercise of restraint and discretion, even when provoked and insulted, his desire for peace and his gentlemanly nature for weakness is not only unfortunate but also a grave miscalculation on her part.


“Once again we reiterate the fact that we counsel Ojukwu to take whatever course of action she pleases and we welcome this opportunity to expose her for what she is.

“The matter has been referred to our lawyers for final preparation. They will prepare a vigorous defence to Ojukwu’s absurd allegations and they will also determine our next line of action against her,” Mr. Fani-Kayode said.

hisexcellency34:
At yesterday’s inauguration, Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, Nigeria’s former Ambassador to Spain and wife of the Late Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, was among those who arrived early at the venue. The ceremony was underway when Mrs Ebele Obiano came in and went straight to where Mrs Ojuwku sat, about four seats away from the seat reserved for her.

She began to nudge Bianca’s shoulder violently. Bianca got up and hit her, headgear removed. The audience was shocked.  Cameras rolled, android telephones snapped pictures and recorded videos while the dirty exchanges lasted.

The genesis of the quarrel between Mrs Obiano and Mrs. Ojukwu dates back to  2019, during the  general election. At the primary, Bianca was running for Senate and was backed  by then  Governor Obiano, Ebele’s husband.

But her hope  to clinch the ticket was dashed at the last minute. Obiano’s  wife disagreed  with her husband .

After a deal with  Pastor Nicholas Ukachukwu, an Abuja-based politician, who would call himself prince  today, tomorrow deacon, or pastor et al. He got the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) ticket.

The former governor caved in under the weight of his wife’s pressure.  But APGA was humiliated at the poll. The people rejected the candidate.

Bianca, who  was dumped at the 11th hour  got angry. She turned down overtures to forgive the former governor’s wife.


Mrs. Obiano came late when the inauguration was taking place and insisted she must drive into the arena.  The security agents told her there was no space. But, after a long drama, she was forced to walk in to the  arena. It was a short distance.  Less than a minute.

Three events happened.





At the launch of a book  written by  Ike Chioke on  Obiano,  500 distinguished Anabrarians were honoured . The highest  honour, Grand Commander of Anambra State, was bestowed on the governor’s wife, among others.

Three years ago, she was given an honorary doctorate degree  by the state-owned university, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu University.  The former governor  was the visitor.

Whatever she decided was final. Whatever she wanted she got, except on Soludo’s governorship.

For eight  years,  she was dreaded and most violent. After her husband’s re-election, she said she was going to be in charge and run the state for four years.

“Willy ran the first term,” she won the second. How? She claimed  she influenced her husband’s victory.

Mrs Obiano was propping up Ume Orji  in place of Soludo, but  her husband  said  it was   Soludo.

She said Soludo won’t  be loyal and that  APGA  would lose. The husband said no. The last day to the primary, between 11:30 and 1 am. She insisted Ume Orji should be the candidate. The husband refused, telling her he’s  the husband. “You  must listen to me. I am your  husband.” She flew into a rage , and ran  out of the house.

It took the combined efforts of men of the Department of State Service (DSS) and Police to stop her at their country home in Aguleri.

She was half-clad. She began to hit people with broken bottles, about four people in the house.

She was compelled to back Soludo.

The Obiano's have had a very rough day. They have not experienced this for the past eight years.

This goes to show that nothing lasts forever.

The question is what's special about sex

Perfect which hustle in Nigeria.. which business do you want to do in Nigeria with diesel selling for almost 1k

Rugaria:
No nation built on nepotism and sectionalism archives her full potential. Infact most promising states around the globe have imploded in the past, under the enermous weight of their iniquitous history full of tribalism, favouritism and grand injustices. This is so, because for the people of any given country to come together and galvanize their collective abilities towards modernizing their state, there must exist a sense of nationalism, patriotism and a common purpose. This can't happen when it has become a government policy to marginalize, antagonize and deprive a certain section that contributes immensely towards the economic growth of the country, her fare share of national projects and recognitions..

A case in point here is the over dramatized Second Niger bridge. In the history of this eternally convulsing amalgam, no project has been so dramatized, so politicized and so unashamedly utilized as a political football by the close minded political class in Abuja, at the detriment of the welfare and greater economic activities in the South East and the South South regions. The drama started way back during the military era, when the aging bridge built by the then Eastern government in the 50s, started to show signs of wear and tear. This bridge was bombed during the Nigeria - Biafra war and was extensively damaged as a result of the endless skirmishes there. For a long time, the bridge has been the only shaky link between the former Eastern Nigeria and the rest of the country. With the economic activities going on in such wonderful places like Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt, Owerri and the rest, the enermous economic importance/impact of this bridge can not be over emphasized..

It's against this backdrop, that one is overwhelmingly alarmed at the disdain with which the federal government has carried on with this project over the years. Firstly, under Babangidas administration, a drawing of the bridge was made with plans for a rail crossing. But nothing happened as it rgards construction proper. Obasanjo came in and only laid the foundation stones few hours to his abdication of office in 2007, which was basically nothing but a taunt" to those who considered the bridge an essential project to them! The plan for the rail lines over the bridge was also shelved. Jonathan did start the project but suggested a partnership between the construction companies, the state government and the federal government as it regards the funding. Then came Buhari, whose administration saw the second Niger bridge as the most convenient project to use as a balancing act for his brazen but shameful display of bigotry and classic igbophobia.

The bridge will now have almost a dozen Toll Gates!! This will be the first and only project built under any administration since the coming of civilian rule in 1999, that will demand that those using it will pay for all bills incurred during construction! Ofcourse, it's mainly the people of the South East. There are many projects in the North being handled as we speak, by the federal government that have bigger cost outlays when compared to the second Niger bridge but whose total cost are shouldered entirely by the federal government, even if it means borrowing! A good example is the nearly One trillion Naira Abuja - Zaria - Kano road. Infact, Nigeria has gone on to borrow billions of dollars to erect highways and railways and pipelines to Niger republic, another country! Nigerians as a people will collectively pay for these projects in another country, while the South Easterners, who are going to be the main users of The second Niger bridge, will pay through their noses for EVERY cent used to build that bridge!

"Fellow Nigerians", Is this fair??


Below is The Muhammadu Buhari Toll gates at the yet to be commissioned second Niger bridge:

You slow black people controlled by the queen of england don't listen, block heads

Nigeria was rigged to fail

It is over 60yrs and nothing is working

How many more years do you m**rons need to know that Nigeria can never work

You are a m*mu man

Nigeria is dead but you can't see it but I have seen it already, keep patching it and it would eventually explode

What's going on with Prof Osinbajo's handlers sef. They keep sending conflicting messages.

As per qualifications right?

Some ofbthw qualifications are disgusting to say the least.

gidgiddy:
True

I don't understand how any South Westerner can want power to go to the SW in 2023 when he knows fully well that the SW have had their 8 years with Obasanjo?

You want what will amount to a 'third term' in this democratic dispensation when your comerades in the South like the SS, have had only one term, and the SE have had nothing?

That is greed. Rather than power to go to the SW, let it stay in the North. At least that way, we know it didn't come down South at all

This is my favourite clause;

10. Clause 84 stipulates that anyone holding a political office – ministers, commissioners, special advisers, and others – must relinquish the position before they can be eligible to participate in the electoral process either as a candidate or as a delegate.


Will Prof Osinbajo, Ameachi, Dave Umahi, Orji Uzor Kalu and Rochas Okorocha resign by June 2022 so as to participate in the 2023 Election

festacman:
Gov. Ganduje was very smart with Shekarau and his faction. He played humility and power-sharing games to distract them and made them feel comfortable while working with Tinubu behind the curtains to stage a comeback.

DrGoodman:
One thing I have noticed, is that the north worships corruption. That's why they insist on electing and supporting corrupt people. Check buharri, Ganduje and almost all the Northern governors are very corrupt and supposed to be sitting inside a jail.

This Northern kleptomania is the reason they hang on to power, 3ven when it's obvious they have nothing to add to leadership, their greed is so deep that I don't understand.

Northern corruption has been fueling insecurity, check the possibility of missing guns, diverted bullets and bombs getting to Bandits and other criminals, these guys may even be selling guns bought with Niger Delta oil money to Mali, Niger and Chad.

donbachi:
The person fighting dis guy is strong.

Digging deep.

kponkedenge:
Lai Mohammed should shut up. The protesters have been left alone to protest for days, if not weeks, without interruption, but they've started taking things too far by disrupting normal Canadians going about their business, interruption of the supply chain of goods and services within Canada and also across the border.

It is also pertinent to note that these protesters are not the majority of truck drivers who didn't join the protests.

Also they have started getting funding from far right groups in the US, making it all the more to look political and not a genuine protest.

Not like Nigerian protest that within that same day police or soldiers would start shooting at you for nothing.

Which airport? Why must it be linked to the airport? Are there no roads linking the airport?

You guys just sit down to say what you know nothing about. What do you mean by 'work has not started'?

The project can very well be finished this year.

It is Julius Berger that is handling the project, not one Ogbuefi & Sons Enterprise.

Buhari will commission the project before exiting office.
