Hello, I have seen a few of your comments which seem to align with some of the things that the Tinubu administration is doing. Your submission sounds logical and well thought but I don't understand you when you say you do not support Tinubu and want Atiku to win instead. Although you disagree with his policy proposal like the return of fuel subsidy I don't know why you support him against your logic. To me, it seems you know the right things are been done by this administration but you have insisted on following the noice without reason. nairalanda1: |
Did they visit the site for memorial in the last 3 years. Now that election is close, they now remember the place. Yinmu |
Just because there is Secretary in the title does not mean it's a low position. He mention that she is level 17 in the civil service that she joined since doing her NYSC there. I know of a government organization that the Secretary is the number 2 position and is given official car and house. MarkNsukkaBread: |
Good progress. We should aim higher

It's not possible it gulps 100% of revenue. Revenue project for 2026 is about 36 trillion naira according to the budget |
I'm not sure the number is right . The Government 2026 budget is about 68tillion, a revenue estimate of 36trillion and budgeted dept servicing of about 15 trillion. The 124% debt interest above revenue is not mathing |
That's part of the problem. He surrounds himself with children and they form part of his key decision makers |
If he was still in PDP and the party was still relevant he would have stood a better chance. The votes from 2023 relied on the PDP structure which is good for mobilization of voters. But ADC has not gotten to the strength to pull same for him in 2027. Another thing many people overlook is that President Tinubu did not have as much support from the governors in 2023. nairalanda1: |
If President Tinubu is going to lose, then who do you think is going to win and how. Your analysis is not complete without this nairalanda1: |
Who voted all the Governors that the op listed. Will you consider them as competent. If yes, then they should be competent enough to support their preferred presidential candidate. |
Zionist propaganda. So if Iranians are selling, who is buying it. Israeli or Americans |
Most people are voting the same way they did in 2023 |
Have the other candidate convinced you to vote differently in 2027 |
I saw the comment by VDM at the annual NBA conference and have been following the reactions to it. I have to say that it is quite disappointing seeing people supporting his comments and praising him at the expense of our service members. While I agree that there are some bad eggs among the security operatives, that does not give VDM or anybody to right to disparage the entire arms forces by accusing them of being unknown gunmen. At the height of the IPOB/ESN crises (that were responsible for those tagged 'unknown gunmen') in the south east/ south south, will he have been able to travel freely to those area without apprehension? If not for the work and sacrifice of men and women in the armed forces who knows what will have been the outcome. Just a few days ago there was a report of about 10 policemen that died in Katsina fighting banditry, we have also read about the work and sacrifice they are doing in different parts of the country facing criminals, bandits and terrorists and in some instance paying the ultimate price for this. If not for them will VDM and his supporters be able to sleep at night? We should also know that these people work in difficult circumstances where they may not be adequately equipped, trained or lack adequate manpower for the task given to them, but they still show up everyday to keep us safe. The least we can do is to appreciate them and not make general unfounded accusation of the armed forces, Just because he is popular and do a few community service once in a while does not give VDM the moral high ground to insult the police and military. I STAND WITH OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN. |
What will HE Atiku reintroduce subsidy?. Where will he get the money from? PresidentAtiku: |
Well, all is fair in politics ![]() nairalanda1: |
Can anybody give a counter argument? |
No supporter of the subsidy reintroduction has been able to provide any counter argument to what is mentioned. |
Before we get carried away by political talking points about the return of fuel subsidy. We should ask ourself where the money that was used to subsidize fuel came from. It comes from the federation account. The subsidy is deducted before whatever is left is shared between the federal state and local government. The subsidy was initially introduced in the 1970s when we had a military regime, so it was easy for the head of state (Gen. Gown and subsequently Gen. Obasanjo) to introduce subsidy by a simple military decree. The subsidy structure then was what was later continued since the return to democracy. Now that the subsidy has been removed, what will it take for a president to reintroduce it. Since the cost of subsidy comes from the federation account before monthly allocation, the president will have to convince the 36 state governors and 774 local governments that the cost of subsidy should be deducted before sharing what is left between the each level of government. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. If the president make the deduction without the consent of the states and local governments, they can take federal government to the supreme court for unauthorized deduction. Lets even assume that the present is able to miraculously get the consent of states and local government, how will they eventually fare. Presently, the recurrent and capital budget of the governments are based on the money received without subsidy. That means if subsidy was to return, they will get less money to use which will eventually lead them to defaulting on their obligations and take more debt. |
It's not everything that should be on FG neck. We elect state and LG officials same as FG. We don't hold them accountable enough. That's why they do as they want. NIGERIAJAGAJAGA: |

Please don't take my comment personal. It was just for this specific write-up and I am not accusing the OP of always using AI. Note that I did not use any AI checker to come to this conclusion but if you are familiar with AI text or speech there is a pattern to it and this write-up has similar pattern. An example is the following paragraphs " The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident." "I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house. I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point."

This story may be true. But because you used AI in writing it, it is difficult to read. |
I'm interested in this project. I don't know if there is any way I can get involved. |
This guy just brought out camera and made a fool of himself to the whole world ![]() |
Barely eight days after being granted pardon by Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, a former inmate, Sunday Omisakin, has been remanded in the Ilesa Correctional Facility for allegedly breaking into a house to steal a television.https://thenationonlineng.net/eight-days-after-adelkes-pardon-ex-convict-commits-crime-returns-to-prison/

Why does it have to take the governor of a whole state to give the go ahead for a collapsed toilet to be reconstructed. Something that a local government chairman or councilor should be doing. How can the state move forward with this kind of approach. This is why the local government autonomy is needed. |
With the recent policies like merging the rate of official and parallel market, paying out foreign inflow in its naira equivalent and stopping cash payment for PTA/BTA, one can easily conclude that they have restricted forex going out to the BDCs which is one of the cause of the current forex crisis. With all these done, the CBN only needs to take a few more steps like allowing payment for foreign goods/service directly from personal / business accounts at the prevailing rates and that will kill the demand for forex at the parallel market. |

You should watch the last presidential address if you haven't already. How the 500b will be spent was outlined by the president. |
The three men were pictured hovering precariously on the vessel's rudder, just above the waterline. The Spanish coastguard says it has rescued three migrants who stowed away on the rudder of a tanker that arrived in the Canary Islands this week. The three men were found on the oil and chemical tanker Alithini II when it came into Las Palmas on Monday after an 11-day journey from Lagos in Nigeria, according to ship-tracking website Marine Traffic. A photo distributed by the coastguard showed them sitting on the rudder of the Maltese-flagged vessel, just above the waterline. They were taken into port, with Spanish news agency EFE saying they were treated in hospital for moderate dehydration. It is not the first time migrants have tried to stow away on the rudder of a ship. In October 2020, four people stowed away on the rudder of an oil tanker from Lagos, hiding for 10 days before police discovered them as the vessel came into Las Palmas. The number of migrants crossing from north Africa to the Canary Islands has increased dramatically since 2019. Reuters citied Spanish data as saying that migration by sea to the archipelago increased by 51% in the first five months of this year, compared with a year earlier. But those who cross this way are risking their lives, and thousands of people die each year. https://news.sky.com/story/three-migrants-rescued-after-stowing-away-on-oil-tanker-rudder-for-11-days-12757666
