Can you imagine the way Americans, Chinese, Germany, Britain and white people see black people??

Wike is truly shameless.

They do far worse in the West. Look at what happened in Syria, Libya, Saddam Hussein, Ukraine, Congo, etc.

The West has done worst in other countries, stop been emotional.

Zico5:
Tinubu is calling for war. I don't think this man is alright at all. How can the president sack a legitimate and sitting governor. Even Obasanjo with all his military power couldn't do such. Even Wike that's at the centre of everything is a free man. I'm sure Ijaw won't fold their arms and allow this illegality. I regret voting this man. I truly regret it.

Are you sure??

adecz:
This man lacks the temperament to
lead a nation like the USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸


The pettyness is just pathological😕😕😕


How can you be constantly insulting
and demeaning a former president and
attacking civil servants, allies and then
befriending American enemies..

Tufiakwa

Quite absurd, unprofessional, unpresidential and classless for a sitting president. Regardless of Biden being an opposition, you don't do that. Trump has successfully shown the world how undemocratic and uncivilized the United States is.

GetSenseNow:
Aba, Abia State is one of the most developed and neatly-arranged cities in Nigeria.

When you hear Ronu bandits talking down on Aba you'll feel it's a shithole

Compare and contrast

Yes, lets use just two pictures to show case a city. Why pick good and bad pictures of a city to promote your nonsense.

Here is ibadan vs Aba.

This first picture is Ibadan, and the second one is Aba.

Stop been selective and speak the truth. Every city has its good and bad side.

Maestro46:
Stood up to the country that is supplying you with money and weapons?? Are you serious?.
So you want the US to continue spending money on a war that Ukraine won't win and will result in more killings?? So Trump is a dictator for not wanting to spend more money. Ok

I am not sure you understand what transpired.

In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer its nuclear weapons to Russia for dismantlement and joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. In return, it would receive economic compensation and security assurances from Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom to uphold its independence and sovereignty.

I wise man once said, To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal".

Never trust the United States of America.

flokii:
This IBB they are all praising now didn't have regard for them.. Northerners domesticated SEners as their slaves in the 80s' & 90s' and only Yorubas challenged the Military till they fled Lagos and relocated seat of power to Abuja..

Yorubas are never cowards.. never ever will Yorubas become slaves to North.

People often label the Yorubas as cowards and claim they are fearful. However, when you examine the top 15 freedom fighters and those who challenged and fought against the military government in Nigeria, 10 of them are Yorubas.

Till date, check those who have been fighting and challenging the government.

Everyone deserves a second chance .

Someone, somewhere, is worthy of their first opportunity.

iwaeda:
And you believed this trash.

Am I suppose to believe you or to believe reputable reports....

Irony1:
i think we are both misunderstanding ourselves, i am also criticising the opaque nature of NNPC details i also support your stand that anyone saying Dangote refinery is not functioning is lying.

Ohhh, I get your point bro. In my opinion, which might be wrong, I just believe some individuals do not want any of the refineries to function, and even if it functions in full capacity, they still want to import for their own selfish reasons.

You are right though, so many things do not add up with NNPC.

Irony1:
Heeyyyyy hold one there before you start saying rubbish. The importation is due to several reasons, it could be that the quality produced by Dangote can be bought to be blended in their facility.
The issue here is the opaque nature of NNPC's dealing with respect to importation. How do you justify this that we have 30million liters per day demand currently and assuming Dangote fulfils one quarter of the demand, it doesn't justify the huge volumes NNPC is importing.

You just spewed some nonsensical bullshit. My point was to correct the illusion that Dangote refinery is not functioning. I am not here to debate how many liters it produces. NNPC has never been honest, and I am not here to discuss that.
My point is why would anyone think a business man who has built the largest refinery in Africa will lie about such magnanimous project. The international community would have called his bluff if he was lying. If they can export 130 million liters to Saudi Aramco, then they can meet demands.

Dangote is selling to those who are willing to buy. If NNPC wants to source petrol from hell, thats their business, but for someone to blatantly say Dangote Refinery is not functioning is a sign of a dead brain.

iwaeda:
And they keep deceiving you that Warri, Port-Harcourt and Dangote are running. We love lies more than truth. What a nation. 136.7m liters imported in a day.

In February 2025, the Dangote refinery exported two cargos of jet fuel to Saudi Aramco. The consignment was about 130 million liters.

And you think the Saudi Aramco would have bought jet fuel from Dangote if it wasn't functioning.

Even countries with the biggest refineries still import fuel.

The United States has the largest refineries in the world, but still imports petroleum, including crude oil, gasoline, and diesel, from many countries, including Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Brazil.

Just because NNPC imports doesn't mean Dangote Refinery is not working.

Soon, they will block the drainage even when there are refuse trucks. Then they turn around and blame the government.

TimeManager:
. I'm sorry, it has been long that I laughed so hard like this. Your ignorance made me laugh.
Nairaland has many comedians.

-Kiss the truth!

That guy thinks Trump is the constitution. Just because he is the president doesn't make him the custodian of the constitution.

descarado:
I attended a southern african church last 2 weeks.
No shouting, screaming, falling by anointing.
Infact, no drama. More praise and the preaching was godly living. Guess what, no offering.
But they pay tithe. Everybody including the pastor is working.

Pastor came down from the pulpit, very close to the congregation and was speaking like a therapist. It was like group discussion. My head was just spinning. Can this happen in naija where narcissism reign supreme?

The pastors wife is my colleague and friend. Not until I attended the church after years of invitation that I knew she is the pastors wife. Called her mummy G.O. She asked me with all seriousness what that means. Lol.

I have traveled the entire Southern Africa, and yes it depends on where you find yourself, same with Nigeria.

Southern African churches are actually worse in things like this. ZCC, Zionist or Jericho churches in Swaziland/South Africa and Zimbabwe, my brother, you will run out of the church.

It just depends on which part of the country you worship. Southern African churches are actually more scary than Nigeria.

Nigerians tend to focus heavily on the Presidency, overlooking the significant issues within State and Local governments, which contribute greatly to the country's challenges.

There is a pervasive issue of ghost workers at the State and Local levels, with certain individuals profiting from this practice, thereby exacerbating unemployment. Yet, the attention remains fixated on the Presidency.

Addressing the corruption and inefficiencies at these levels of government is urgent and crucial.

However, Nigeria's deeply tribal nature complicates efforts for accountability. If the Presidency were to investigate issues within states, many Nigerians would likely resist, defending their local governments despite clear mismanagement. For instance, in Bauchi, people may continue to support their government even if it's found that they purchased a pen for a million naira.

Nazgul:
Those things you mentioned are part of publicity for the company. Not that I support them doing it at the expense of their staff. But the reality here is that if your company isn't taking staff welfare seriously but has millions to throw on parties, it means you have a weak HR department. Cos those events are mainly organized by the HR unit.

It's up to other Heads of dependants and units to hold periodic meetings with them (HR) and discuss these events.

No, the events are planned by the Corporates and PR team. It has nothing to do with HR.

Oftentimes, it is the CEO/Boards that pushes this events to boost their very own ego.

TriCee:
So only MTN can cover 10% of national budget?
200B? Good for them.

The National budget is 28.7 Trillion. 10 percent of that is 2.87 trillion.

So nope, they do not even cover 1% of the national budget, because that will mean 287 billion.

jazzman7711:
Shut up there.

Germany’s annual budget is $2 trillion, while Nigeria’s is $40 billion.

Nigeria is a developing country like 80% of countries on Earth.

Building modern infrastructure on such a low budget is commendable and should be applauded.

You are not Germany. Ok?

The problem with you Nigerians is that you never travel to the REAL WORLD that comprises the 202 countries minus the less than 10 to 15 “advanced countries”.

So you end up STUPIDLY comparing Nigeria to “Germany”, “USA”, “France”, “Italy”, “UK”, “Dubai”, “Singapore”, COMPLETELY ignorant about how most of them acquired their wealth.

How many countries they invaded and slaughtered and looted for centuries.

No.

“Germany” is like this, so why is Nigeria not like that?

Totally shallow.

Tomorrow you will say you went to school.

YOU PEOPLE SHOULD START TRAVELLING TO THE REAL WORLD. From Cuba to India. From Jamaica to Honduras. From Brazil to Senegal. From Trinidad to Bolivia. From Mexico to Zimbabwe. From Angola to Sri Lanka. From Tanzania to Egypt. From Mongolia to Suriname. From Argentina to Colombia. From Gabon to Rwanda. From Madagascar to Myanmar. From Peru to Venezuela, and from Mozambique to Tanzania.

THEN you will know that Nigeria is not unique in having developmental issues. That the overwhelming majority of countries have bad roads, power cuts, and corruption.

That the world is far more than “Germany”, “U.S.”, “UK”, and “Dubai”.

You will stop feeling so inadequate and disgruntled.

Eish, you have time for these nitwits and dumb brains. I remember one idiot on this platform trying to compare Lagos to Newyork, forgetting that Newyorks 2024 budget was $229 billion, and Lagos got a budget of $3.3 billion.

Considering they have almost the same population size, yet you expect Lagos to magically do better than Newyork. Like how.....

Give Lagos the budget of Newyork and watch it become a first world city, now give Newyork Lagos budget and watch it became a slum city.

Ajsmart:
Another scam. They created Covid; shut down the global economy by creating arrificial pandemic; create “vaccines” to protect the population and trick countries into accepting bogus emergency financial assistance loans. Years later the recoup $Billions for a fake pandemic.

Whatever makes you sleep better at night....

KEVIND:
Kudos to Tinubu but debt servicing is not the samea as debts repayment.
Make the report more comprehensive.

Its written there, learn to read.

As a result of these repayments, Nigeria’s debt to the IMF has decreased significantly, dropping from $3.26bn as of June 2023 to $1.16bn by June 2024.

This reflects a substantial reduction of 64.42 per cent within one year.

It was earlier reported that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu is expected to pay off a $3.4bn owed to the International Monetary Fund during his tenure.

Kujo:
What was the loan used for

Its written there, In April 2020, the IMF disbursed a $3.4bn emergency financial assistance to Nigeria.


The loan was approved under the Rapid Financing Instrument by the Executive Board of the IMF on April 28 to address challenges arising from the economic impact of COVID-19 in the country.

The loaned amount was disbursed on April 30, 2020.

There are thousands of Nigerians who went to the U.K in 2005 and even afterwards, and they've gotten a permanent stay or citizenship.

This guy has been in the U.K for over 19 years and still doesn't have a stay.

I think he deliberately did this so that nothing can be traced back to him.

Fishy guy....

TOPCRUISE:
Its in Nigeria I hear some religious people say you won’t make it to heaven if you sing or listen to secular music

You probably have never traveled out of Nigeria........Religious folks in the U.K, U.S and Canada say the same. Even in South America.

I guess they meant living, cause everyone will agree that Whitney Houston was beyong their league.

AntiChristian:


Ah! Atikuuuuuuu ooooooo!

$30,000 per delegate, and we had 774 = $23,220,000. This one na just PDP oo!

23,220,000* N1,700 = N39,474,000,000.

How Nigeria no go be like this?

That's like about 80% of Nigeria Budget for 2025!

Nigerias budget is in Trillions, what you have here is in Billions. Sk its not up to 1% of Nigerias budget.

Ekaka14:
Yeah...Tosin could easily have seen a red ...but I think he's calmed down a little now

It was a 50/50 situation.

Olam09:
The ref ignored that.. it was as clumsy as what Colwell did but the ref refused to look the VAR

Honestly, I feel like the foul on Sancho was even worse.

That was a penalty on Sancho.

heykims:
The stud was up and it landed on the shin, no near the ball at all.

Gotcha

boxypane:
Because he didn't break the opponents' leg? I think his intention was also considered.

Gotcha

heykims:
Ref was right, that's a straight red.

How is it a red card? Am not a Man U fan though.

I don't think thats a red card....
