A classified CITY BOY MEMBER

Front page or not, the message is clear. From day one till now, what is it that can make me to cast my vote again for this regime...

As an ordinary Nigerian trying to survive in today’s harsh political and economic reality, it is no longer enough to stay silent or pretend that things are working. The truth must be spoken plainly, without sugarcoating.
What exactly has the average citizen gained from the current administration of BAT?
Let us speak from lived reality, not political slogans.
Electricity — a basic necessity that should drive businesses and improve quality of life — remains unreliable. Many Nigerians now depend more on generators than ever before, spending heavily just to keep lights on in their homes and shops. Instead of progress, it feels like regression.
The foreign exchange crisis has hit the nation hard. The naira has lost significant value, and this has triggered a chain reaction: food prices have skyrocketed, transportation costs have doubled, rent is rising, and basic survival has become a daily struggle. The common man is not talking about “economic policies” — he is asking why feeding his family has become this difficult.
Security remains a deep concern. From kidnappings to violent attacks, many citizens still feel unsafe in their own country. Farmers are afraid to go to their farms. Travelers are anxious on the roads. Businesses operate under fear. A nation cannot develop when its people live in constant uncertainty.
Unemployment and underemployment continue to choke the youth. Graduates roam the streets without opportunities, while those working are barely earning enough to survive. Hope is fading, and frustration is growing.
Small businesses — the backbone of any economy — are suffocating. High costs, unstable policies, poor infrastructure, and low purchasing power have forced many to shut down. Entrepreneurs who once had dreams are now struggling just to stay afloat.
So the question remains, and it is a serious one:
What is the convincing reason for the average Nigerian to renew this mandate?
Is it the rising cost of living? Is it the weakening naira? Is it the insecurity? Is it the hardship that has become a daily reality?
This is not about hatred or political bias. This is about accountability. Governance is not about promises; it is about results that people can see, feel, and experience in their daily lives.
A government that truly serves its people should reduce suffering, not normalize it. It should create opportunities, not excuses. It should protect lives, not leave citizens to fend for themselves.
As citizens, we must begin to ask tougher questions, demand clearer answers, and refuse to accept hardship as a normal way of life. The power of democracy lies not just in voting, but in holding leaders accountable before and after elections.
Nigeria deserves better. And Nigerians must no longer be afraid to say it — boldly, clearly, and without apology.

Why calling not vote for Tinubu as a waste. This your speech is 100% a waste.

Kudus to CEO of Seahorse Oil Lubricant. A trophy well deserved. Big man...

For the sake of our safety and peace, I strongly advise everyone to be cautious about attending political gatherings at this time, especially those organized by the (often referred to as the “City Boys”). Given the current tensions and uncertainties, such gatherings can become unpredictable and may put people at unnecessary risk, particularly in the Southeast. No political activity or material incentive is worth risking your safety or well-being. Please stay vigilant and prioritize your personal security. It is better to avoid these gatherings altogether rather than expose yourself to potential danger. Your life and safety should always come first.

Our dear top politician should be first to sample the drugs/injection, In order to show up lead by example.

This is so bizarre, how could this be a sport for goodness sake.

Day don break...

Op. Story! story!! Story!!!!!!!
Nigeria that cannot give it citizens 24/7 electricity talk of fighting with USA.

Funny set of people. If given an opportunity to travel either to USA or IRAN, guess which country they will travel to.

Some are saying Nigeria has happened to him. Sooner or later, Nigeria will or may happen to all of us in one way or the other. What will happen if one day we wake up and hears that President of the Land had be kidnap.

So as the immediate Ex police chief Kayoda Egbetokun is former Chief Security Officer to the then governor Bola Tinubu. Loyalties

The Vice President of Federal Republic Of Nigeria in making.. You will seal shops tired

How does this seem to be Nigeria major problem at moment If FG can give us 24/7 electricity power supply then Nigerians will stop money banquet. Hit LIKE if you agree with me.

A man falls, struggles, and humbles himself enough to ask friends or relatives for financial assistance—yet he gets ignored, advised, or judged instead of helped.
But the moment his wife reaches out to the very same people, suddenly help appears.
WHY?
Is it because society expects men to always be strong, even when they’re broken? Is it because people believe a man should “figure it out” no matter how deep the struggle is? Or is it because we subconsciously see a woman asking for help as more deserving of compassion? In many cases, the need is the same. The family is the same. The problem is the same. Only the messenger changes. This raises uncomfortable questions about how we measure responsibility, dignity, and vulnerability—especially for men. We often say, “Men should speak up,” but when they do, we respond with silence, lectures, or suspicion. Yet when their wives speak, empathy flows freely. Perhaps it’s not generosity that changes—but perception. Perhaps we help based on emotion, not urgency. Perhaps we believe helping the wife protects the children, while helping the man feels like “enabling.” Whatever the reason, it’s worth asking:
Are we truly helping families, or are we reinforcing silent expectations that break men even further?

Since she is 3 yrs, giving him 3000yrs behind bar will do.

If you know how busy this market usually is, especially on normal days when traders and customers are everywhere, then you will understand that the pictures being displayed here are nothing compared to the real situation. What you’re seeing is child’s play. The market is still largely locked and far from normal operations. In fact, I heard that some people are moving around the market, taking note of shops that did not open. This alone shows that business activities have not truly resumed, despite what is being portrayed.

Main Market Onitsha.... Today is Monday making it a whole 1 week the market was locked up by the state governor. Let wait and see what will happen today. And other threats made by Solude.

Continue to live and do your work, but have it in mind that one or two people is jealous of you there. My best advice, before this year runs out, exit from the compound and look for another place. Meanwhile, try and go out sometimes and come back late like others. There must be some free days or you create one. Just go out as if you are going for work or something else. This advice is for your new compound in case you later move.

Marriage is not bed of roses but this advice, no no for me. If they had married the right persons, they wouldn't advised otherwise

DarkJeddi:
Whoever claimed that no security measures has been in place in Anambra is lying to himself.

Anambra State TODAY is the safest it has ever been for the past 5 years of IPOB insanity.

During December people came home in droves to villages and towns which were no go areas before now and nothing happened.

Stopping the sit at home non sense is the next logical chapter in the Government's fight against insecurity.

Oga, please don’t speak on what you’re not fully aware of. Which security measures are you referring to? If you truly understand the number of kidnappings that have taken place in the past few months, you wouldn’t be saying all this; let alone talking about businesses resuming activities on Mondays.
Let’s just wait and see what happens this coming Monday. IPOB has already declared a total sit-at-home on the 2nd of February.
This is not just about business or politics; we are talking about human lives here. People’s safety should always come first.

Charlie Nwa Ngbafor, popularly known as Professor "Solution By Fire By Force", has threatened to demolish a market that predates even his great-grandfather. This is not just any market; it is the largest commodity market in West Africa, the beating heart of Igbo commerce, and a historic symbol of enterprise, resilience, and self-reliance.

A market that fed generations.
A market that built cities.
A market that carried the economic dreams of Ndigbo across Nigeria and beyond.

The idea that such a heritage can be erased overnight - allegedly to curry favoured from the Caliphate or score political points - raises serious questions about leadership, priorities, and respect for history.

You do not destroy the soul of a people and expect applause.

Markets like this are not mere structures; they are living institutions. They represent sweat, struggle, innovation, and survival against all odds. Any attempt to silence or dismantle that legacy is an attack on the collective memory and economic lifeline of the people.

Let it be clearly stated:
Any move to carry out this threat will be firmly resisted through lawful, united, and legitimate means. Ndigbo have always stood for dialogue, justice, and progress - but never for erasure, humiliation, or economic strangulation.
History will remember who built and who tried to destroy.

Ask that woman, if the Chinese government would have tolerated any sit-at-home n0nsense, if it were to happen in China?

Soludo is 💯 right on this. Since the traders want to sit at home,.they can as well do sit at home from Monday to Sunday 😎

He is not right, he is using his power as the governor ridiculously. I heard that he's going to close any private school that did not operate on Mondays. I wonder what he will do to the parents/guardians who will refuse to allow their kids to attend school on Mondays. More dramas coming... I pity the state government.

dododawa1:
is it bigger to ALABA INTERNATIONAL MaRKet ?

If you have been to Main Market Onitsha, you won't be asking this question. The market itself and all the adjoining plaza, buildings and rest are what constitute to make it what it is, and consider the volume of West Africa traders that patronize the market. I don't think there's any market in Nigeria that will compare to Main Market Onitsha (MMO) Anambra State, perhaps maybe in future but presently non.

This is absolute so funny ehhh. Taking attendance as pupils, we traders have really suffered. Gra-gra-gra na by force to go market on Monday. Even before the governor was born, that market has been into existence, which master plan is he talking about. Don't bring perpetual hatred on yourself because say you be governor.
