He has the right to contest and I have the right to vote against him. Nigeria is fast lacking good leaders we can even choose from - Tinubu, Jonathan, Saraki, Atiku etc.

Jonathan, despite his holocaust years still toying with vying for the highest office again. Someone that in saner climes will be chilling in prison.

yomi531:
Sure win for us.

Dont underestimate any team. Classic example - Algeria vs Sierria Leone. No one saw the result coming

Saidu Sanusi. He frustrated Sallah.

The unsung hero - Saidu Sanusi - he said it and delivered. He put Sallah inside his pocket.

Aribo is such a fantastic player. Good balance on the ball

I havent seen the work of Chukwueze...Moses is a good player but with terrible finishing. Taiwo Awoniyi is just there.

I am wishing Nigeria happy sail against the Pharaoh of Egypt

BF plays better than Cameroonians, sadly they pressed the self destruct buttonn

I swear posterity go forever be grateful to me

Careless talk and write up like this has landed people in Jail. You are actively and publicly planning to assassinate the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. This is beyond what your freedom of speech can cover. I hope the relevant security agencies pick up your case and track you to be scapegoated to others as silly as you.

HardMirror:
I remember a pastor back then saying married people should try and watch porn once a while so that their marriage would be interesting. He claims sex is one of the issues in marriage and you need to work on it to make the relationship work.

So it is ok for married people to watch porn in order to improve their sexual relationship?

Bible doesn't state exclusively how you can spice up your sex life. It's up to you . Someone said couples should go and pray to improve their sex life. That sounds so ridiculous.

It is not everything you pray about. You need to act for some situation to move. Moses didn't pray for the Israelites to disappear from the clutch of Pharaoh, he confronted Pharaoh and led the Israelites out of Egypt on foot. People always say what they feel without reference to the bible.

Don't let us be holier than Pope. We always appear too churchy and Godly in Africa, one of the bane of our present situation.

Kriss216:
It's not easy to survive in Nigeria.

Nigerians living in Nigeria are the strongest humans on earth.

There could be underlining ailments. Stop demonising the country.

Airboy333:
All case r not the same

Very encouraging. I will keep the house posted when my brother gets approved. Then we can get a bit of insight into how they work over there. It will be so strange if getting approval from USCIS takes 8 months as someone mentioned in this thread.

Somalino:
I'm on the same page with you. Mine was received since April 2021. Don't know of the recipet number and case number are same.

April !!. Has your petition been approved by USCIS ? Thats serious!. My brother's fiance petitioned on September 2021, that means my bro should go and sleep...lol

Airboy333:
if u have d NOA2 u need to call NVC to get ur case number which start wit LGS

Many thanks. NOA2 has not been given as USCIS has yet to approve. We will wait fot that. Thanks

LakesidesNG:
That’s the same thing I’m experiencing today makes 115-Days now I got case as been approved on my status

Are you using receipt number as well? Do you have a case number yet? You are lucky, you are awaiting your file to be transferred to the US embassy in Lagos.

ENGINEERG:
Yesterday interview has been generating a lot of heat, but the one that got me thinking the most, is this economy question, where data are read and how Buhari answered it.
He didn't even believe the national data.
Its sad, Nigeria has a president who answer question like this.
Its a disgrace to us as the biggest black country.
Just see what he said afterwards- talking about farming, when statistical question is asked.

is Farming the solution to all problems?
In a saner climes, our president may not become a ward counsellor.

SEUN OKINBALOYE of Channels TV:
Mr President, Our DEBT RATIO in 2015 was about N12 TRILLION, NOW it's about N32 TRILLION.

INFLATION RATE was about 9% in 2015, Now, it's sitting at about $15%. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE was about 8.19%, but Now, it's about 33.2%.

EXCHANGE RATE was about N197 to a Dollar k, but NOW, it's Way OVER N400 Naira (Government-Regulated Rate).
So, Nigerians will Look • back Economically & Say - BEFORE you took office in 2015, most of these INDICES were FAIR, but NOW, the INDICES & FIGURES are NOT Friendly AT ALL.
PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI - Well, I am NOT sure How correct the Calculations are, but All I know is that We have to Allow People to get Access to the FARMS, We just have to go back to the FARMS.

In your heart of heart, do you believe all these statistics being churned out in Nigeria? How did they arrive at the conclusion? Dont get me wrong, the stats could even be worse or better but we all know that someone somewhere just manufactured stats in Nigeria. For instance, how did they measure employment rate in a country with no credible database?.

Hello All. My brother's fiance (US citizen) filed for a fiance visa on September 20 for my brother. Receipt was acknowledged on September 23, 2021 and a Receipt number (starting with WAC....) was sent via text message. Till date, no case number or anything. We used the receipt to track on this website, - https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do - and "Case was received" message acknowledging the receipt of the petition was displayed.

Is this normal? How soon does it take to get a case number or is the receipt number the same as case number? January 23, 2022 will make the 4th month and nothing has been heard. Can someone with a similar experience please responsd.

Thanks

Tumbulum:
We told them and they called us wailers,ipob,sore loser,haters and what have you but las las am happy that everyone is feeling.
I pray they can change the constitution so that buhari can do third tenure so that he can complete the good job he is doing.

You are still wailers, and you will continue to be.

As painful as it feels, common sense dictates that the size of govt and both state and federal workers are not sustainable. Aside from the fact that most of these workers are bringing nothing to the table, they have turned the jobs to side hustle, Nigeria is constantly bogged down by these recurrent expenses. The Civil service should be repositioned to contribute positively to the economy of the state and federal purse. Their promotions ought to be based on some clearly defined benchmarks.

The severance package should be realistic with the economic realities so that these workers can even start something in term of business. Even oil companies and other blue chips organisation in the world do this.

Great leaders are not shy to take decisions that are not convenient or difficult. The long term, overall interest of the nation should always come first.

The real reason you were willing to accept those ridiculous loans is because you know you're not the one that will be responsible for their repayment.


Lol. Like we were walking from Lagos to Ibadan before you came into power?

The train will pay for itself. The road will be tolled and pay for itself too.

Let us be open to good things. Not nice being a cynic.

Lekan Balogun disrespected the stool he is anticipating to mount. His reign will most probably be filled with disrespect to the throne with divisions.

mabea:
People will say that they agree with Buhari without thinking it through. What's the difference between State Police and resource control that the South have been crying for. If Buhari doesn't support restructuring the same reason,I don't see him support State Police

Restructuring is such a loose word. You need to be specifics when you are talking about restructuring. Different people and politicians have different selfish definitions for their own restructuring. When you mention restructuring, can you please be more specific what you want to really restructure because lot of people just mention the words without even understanding it.

heniford2:
the federal government should pass a bill making local government recognize in state government each state should come up with is own budget attached to it with local government own with that funds are transferred to states are local government too for proper use the federal government can do it forget this state government noisemaking issue if your a governor will u want a local government to chop above u that's the problem

The FG has done its bit. It has been sent to the State House of Assemblies of each state to domesticate. Unfortunately, they are puppets in the hands of the Governors and that is where everything dies. The State House of Assemblies refuse to debate it and domesticate. The Governors will not let them do it and there is nothing the presidency can do about it,

DubaiLandLord:
What's the way out of this LG autonomy, GMB has really tried to let them have autonomy.

Till the Monsters of Governors we have in Nigeria let go of the 3rd tier of Government. It is a big shame to the Governors really. Killing another legal tier of Government. Sadly, it is the presidency that people talk about leaving out the selfish Governors, who are directly in charge of Monthly state allocation given to each state, and the puppet state house of assemblies.

Before you criticise the Presidency, have you asked your State Governors how they spend the Monthly State Allocation given to your states. Is your State House Assemblies performing the roles of Checks and Balances??

heniford2:
In USA each state has its own state police then we have federal police who supervisor or is above the state, the local government issues is the state government should state is own budget and the local government should also do same,then funds are been transferred to local government for proper use, buhari is a lazy man a big one and has nothing upstairs

Nigerians always rush to cite example of US when it is convenient but refuse to act like the Americans as citizens. It is obvious Governors are more evil than the President. They have technically killed the Local Govt despite all interventions from different quarters, sitting on their monies and milking the LG dry.

What has Governors done with the Monthly state security allocation, squander it. Having state police will create 36 different monsters in all the states. I align with the President, I am totally against it.

FarahAideed:
Buhari had the worst performance any president on earth and the entire galaxy in the last 7 years !!!!!!! No leadership can be worse than this ..

Don't be an ignoramus. It happens in the western world as well.

Kingbenn:
But why is it that anyone can just be crowned a king in Ibadan even if the person is not from the lineages of Kings. What sort of tradition is that, now dem don dey carry matter go court. Tueh

Are you more aligned to an arrangement where kings must come from particular families and other families must serve the royal family?. To me, that's not a fair arrangement, where some elites restrict the kingship to their families alone.

Ibadan has no royal family. I love that. They are all equal and all ibadan children are potentially heirs to the throne IF such children can follow the laid down procedure. To me, that fairness and equity.

All these gated estates are violating freedom of movement. Most of them have put gates to public access roads thereby putting pressures on some roads and causing gridlock. It's a violation of fundamental right of movement as enshrined in the constitution. You can put security detail to your private apartment but not public access road.

The police too goofed. Why not prosecute them having had evidence that they committed an offence? Why releasing them due to intervention of some "notable" people? That's a serious indictment on the CP as well.

ajbabs:
Olubadan position was not a kingship before, it was a Baale (like a ruler over village). However, Ibadan city was getting bigger and eventually became a very big city and one of the most populated city in Africa.
Few decades ago, in the modern era, Baale of Ibadan was changed to Olubadan of Ibadan to assume the kingship status.
Ibadan as a town was formed by olden days warriors who usually rested in the location and therefore, there is no true sons and daughters of Ibadan. It is a road side settlement which eventually became a very big city because of its central location to all other big towns in Yoruba.
Olubadan used to be under Alafin of Oyo before. Now, duo with Soun of Ogbomoso are first class obas in Oyo State.
Alafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ile-Ife have been in serious battle supremacy for long time. However, with the create of Osun State out of old Oyo State, the rift seems to be dieing down.

Nice and intellectual submission but I disagree that there is no true sons and daughters of Ibadan. If not, why do we have "Omo ale Ibadan" - Ibadan bastard. Once you have a traceable village and agbo ile in Ibadan, you are a true son or daughter of Ibadan.

Falae should go and sit down somewhere. We know his antecedent in history. A traitor.

ThatFairGuy1:
Nothing like ile Ife GUY, have some respect for our king

To your question, it's in this order.

1. Ooni of Ife.
2. Alaafin of Your.

Olubadan comes but not even third, fourth or fifth Among Oba's ranking in Yoruba land

You are partially correct. Olubadan and Oba of Lagos are not one of the descendants of Oduduwa, thus, they are not in the same league as ooni , alaafin, awujale, soun, oba of Benin, olowo of Owo etc.

However, you can't rank Ooni of ife ahead of Alaafin of Oyo. Same way you can't rank Alaafin ahead of Ooni of Ife. Alaafi is the last born and he believes the current Ooni is a usurper of the throne. He believes when their father died, and none of his children was at home, Ooni who used to be their father's Aboore took over the throne.

So the argument of supremacy will continue forever between Alaafin of Oyo and Ooni of Ife.

Krismas:
Olubadan did not endorse Ladoja wit d prayer. It takes more dan prayer to select an Olubadan. The prayer was for long life, so he too cud be an Olubadan.

I want to believe so too. Lekan Balogun will be the next Olubadan bar any challenge.

OlujobaSamuel:
I love the ibadan system more than any other.
It makes every bonafide son of ibadan to be eligible, also it builds sense of responsibility.
You have to be responsible enough in your home to become the head and move to the head of family, compound, village, etc before you get to the office of olubadan. Though, one of the major demerit is the old age that you mentioned but everyone can get to the seat, no single family is entitled

Ibadan system is unique and different in the whole of Africa. All their sons and daughters are born Princes and Princesses. There is no royal family in Ibadan, as obtained in other states. Once your parents are from Ibadan, you are entitled to the throne of Olubadan if you can follow the succession line.
