Does this man even know the job of a police man??

If any individual needs protection, na special force of bodyguards should be doing that

Moreso, the DSS is specifically designated to provide security to high level individuals, we also still have the Mopol unit, so what's the police still doing carrying umbrella for senators side chicks upandan?
The IGP is on point!! Let's we all see beyond the prism of partisanship, critical national human resources need to be protected at all cost.
PoliticsRe: There Is No Right To Self-determination In The Nigerian Constitution. by OMBIIGA: 3:07pm On Sep 12, 2025
madridguy:
There is no right to self-determination in the Nigerian constitution. By section 2(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), Nigeria is AN INDISSOLUBLE SOVEREIGN STATE.

So, any region wants to break away, must ensure that they must sponsor a bill to amend the constitution and follow the process. For the process, the proposal must be submitted to the National Assembly, and supported by 2/3 majority of the National Assembly and further supported by not less than 2/3 of all the 36 States. See Section 9 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), Nigeria.

So you don’t need to wait for the Federal Government to get this done. Let your lawmakers do the needful. Anything short of this is treason and terrorism anybody found guilty shall be treated as an enemy of the State.
The section is explicit and concise. However, with benefit of insight, at a point in the history of our nation, the same constitution was in hiatus!! Then comes the doctrine of necessity. In the same light, the doctrine of Almighty Supreme Sovereignty may as well override the 99 constitution.

PoliticsRe: Opinion: Watching Lagos Slip Away, One House At A Time by OMBIIGA:
christopher123:
I have lived in Lagos for many years, moving from Abule Ado to FESTAC, and in all my time here I have watched one uncomfortable truth unfold before my eyes: Lagos is changing, not because people are conquering it, but because its original owners are selling it off, piece by piece.

This isn’t tribal bashing. Neither is it a blanket statement about the Yoruba as a people. I know many Yoruba families who guard their inheritance with wisdom, who understand the value of passing land from one generation to another. What I speak of is a pattern I have personally observed in parts of Lagos—one that deserves reflection.

I know a Yoruba man who died in Moshalashi area of Lagos, such a nice man and he asked his children not to sell when he was alive , his children often inherit property worth fortunes. Yet, before three years pass, that same house is sold off to strangers. I have seen it happen repeatedly in my own neighborhood. Just last month, the third house in our street was sold off. The late father had begged his children never to sell, but they did. And they did so with relief, not reluctance.

And so the cycle continues.

Drive through Lagos, and you will see what I mean. Egbeda, Gowon Estate, Shagari Estate—walk the streets there and you would think you were in Benin City. Esan and Bini tongues fill the air. The Edo people didn’t grab those houses by force. They simply bought what was offered to them.

Move some kilometers toward Agege, from Iyana Ipaja to Pen Cinema, even toward the Abbatoir. Hausa is the lingua franca there now. The Hausa-Fulani didn’t conquer it; they simply purchased what Yoruba children sold.

And what can we say of the Igbo? From Ago Palace to FESTAC, Ojo to Ajangbadi—the Igbo community has not only bought up houses, they have reclaimed swamps, sand-filled them, and built bustling communities. Walk those streets, and Igbo is what you hear.

I have seen where graves are exhumed and reburied and houses are sold to highest bidder! The question isn't the selling of the house but the respect of the dead and what he achieved when he was alive only to be sold ! Do we blame the buyer or the seller? Let's start asking these truthful questions and know that when we point to people claiming that sole set of tribes are taking over Lagos...the question is...HOW ARE THEY TAKING OVER? Is it a hostile take over or they just bought it !

So who do we blame? The buyers—or the sellers?

I cannot blame a man who invests in land, builds a business, and raises a family in Lagos. I cannot look at someone who pays taxes, who creates jobs, who develops wastelands, and say, “You have no stake in this city.” No. Stakeholding is not just about bloodline; it is also about sacrifice and investment.

But what troubles me is the ease with which some children of Lagos sell their father’s legacy. They do not think of generational wealth, of grandchildren who might need that roof, of the ground on which a family name can stand. Instead, they see quick cash—money to be spent in a season, leaving nothing behind but memories of a house once standing.

And then some turn around and complain that “strangers are taking over.” But strangers do not take over what you refuse to sell.

The truth is Lagos is not “no man’s land.” The Awori and other Yoruba groups were here first. But Lagos has become the city of everyone who comes with vision, patience, and investment. The tragedy is not that outsiders are buying Lagos. The tragedy is that too many indigenes are selling Lagos.

I am only an observer, but each time I watch another family home go on the market, I feel as though a little more of the soul of Lagos is slipping away. And the painful part? It isn’t being stolen. It is being sold—with open hands and willing hearts.


Mark Obot
Strange indeed. In some other culture once a dad instructed his children not to sale the family house after his demise, the children are duty bound to honor his wish, any contrary action leading to the sales of such property precipitate gravious ancestral repacaution.
BusinessRe: I Collected A Customer's Phone Because He Couldn't Pay, Now I'm Bothered by OMBIIGA: 9:40am On Sep 06, 2025
Tharmon:
I work as a sales boy in a shop were curtain accessories are sold and in this line of business some customers tend to owe not because they don't have but because they don't want to.

So there is this man that I know and he owes other people too, he should be in his forties and I'm 21, so he bought goods from my shop today worth #60k and told me he will pay me once he gets back from were he wants to use the items he bought so he decided to drop his phone because I didn't allow him to carry my goods without paying. so this evening when he arrived he was sweating and complaining that the customer has not paid blah blah blah..as usual of them

He couldn't even pay up the person that went to work with him complete. He tried explaining to me sweating and all that that what is left in his account is #35k which he paid to me but I didn't allow him to go with his phone, I turned deaf ears to his ranting and assured him he is not leaving there with his phone without paying the remaining balance of #25k. He had no other choice than to leave without his phone and now am worried if I have done something wrong .

Was I wrong to keep his phone? What would have been the right action I would have taken because I'm feeling very bad now like what will he tell his wife about his phone.
I really understand how you feel and I do believe, had the posses of only the Character in the 5 C of credit his word will certainly be his bond.

PoliticsRe: Is It True We Generated only 20.59t In 8 Mths ... Then $30B may be missing by OMBIIGA: 7:33pm On Sep 04, 2025
Validated:
There is no need deceiving yourselves and think you are deceiving Nigerians. We have intelligent Nigerians who do not take statistics and narratives on the surface.

So, lets do the maths:
Assuming that the exchange rate is N1500 to the $, then we have received equivalent of $13.7B (N20.59T)
Of this amount, non-oil export accounted for $10.4B or N15.6 T, according to Tinubu and lieing APC government.

It therefore means that oil export accounted for $3.3B revenue in the last 8 months. A BIG FAT LIE

Every Nigerian knows that we export crude daily and our average production is 1.6 million barrels a day, (that is we export 1.7 to 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd). Also, we know that the average price for WTI crude oil in the first seven months of 2025 was $68.25 per barrel, while the average for Brent crude oil for the year is estimated to be around $80.53..

For the purpose of this analysis, we assume the following:
Average daily oil production and sale = 1.6m barrels
No. of days of oil production YTD: 8months * 25 days = 200 days
Estimated production and sales YTD = 1.6million barrels * 200 days = 320,000,000 barrels
Then, since we sell at $70 per barrel, then our OIL REVENUE FOR 2025 WILL BE 320,000,000 BARRELS * $70 = $22,400,000,000 (Twenty two Billion, Four Hundred Million Dollars)

When we translate this to Naira at the exchange rate of N1500 to the USD, you have N33.6 Trillion,
The questions are:
i. How did FG get their N20.6 Trillion, when estimated oil revenue alone is N33.6T?
ii. If non-oil revenue is truly N15.69 Trillion or $10.5B, then the only revenue estimated from oil sales is N4.9T or $3.3B.

This government has to tell Nigerians where the difference of $30.3Billion went to as that revenue is MISSING
OP, thank you for the analysis. However, the basis of your assumptions as it relates to crude oil production is floppy!
For the records, the oil production figures quoted represent our total production figures. As you may be aware, NNPC Ltd signed different contracting agreements with IOC ranging from Production Sharing, Joint Ventures Holdings and Sole Risk etal, on account of this FG is only entitled to a fixed proportion of our daily production as function of the percentage sharing formular.
PoliticsRe: Remi Tinubu Commissions LASG Built Leather Hub by OMBIIGA: 6:51am On Aug 24, 2025
Lanrelagboi:
Today, the new leather processing and manufacturing hub in Mushin was commissioned by the First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, whose work in empowering women and communities has inspired so many of us. To honour her lifelong dedication to social investment and empowerment, we have named the facility after her. In that spirit, 70 percent of the jobs here are reserved for women and young people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnoRZj5AuOo?si=BTMvi3QrIIvRq2PD


This factory will create 10,000 direct jobs and benefit more than 150,000 artisans across Lagos. It is equipped to produce shoes, bags, belts, and other products at a scale that small businesses could not achieve on their own.

Our hides and skins will no longer leave Nigeria unprocessed. They will be transformed here into shoes, bags, belts, and garments proudly stamped ‘Made in Lagos, Made in Nigeria’. With time, this hub is expected to generate over $250 million in export earnings every year.

But for me, the true success will be measured by the cobbler in Mushin who earns more for his craft, the tanner in Oko-Oba who now has steady work, and the young designer in Yaba who can finally take her brand to the world.

This is the promise of Lagos, the promise of opportunities that uplift households and strengthen our economy.

The priest in my opinion is on point. My brother, some of those Christians mother are another set of cabal in the Catholic Church. I remember vividly an incident in a Catholic Church as you moved towards the south east from the land of the Benue's , in which a priest recommended for the Audit of Christian Mother account because available records shows that the account had never been audited right from inception for over two (2) decades.
Low and behold, hell was let loose on this account and the priest was told in clear terms that hunger and starvation will be his lot. Despite, the threat priest was steadfast and stood his ground, eventually the key antogonust of the priest move, whom are principal officers of the Christian Mother decamped from the church and went to form Anglican Church, thereby evading the Audit.

The cost of doing business in Ghana might be different or higher from that in Nigeria.


Also they would need to break even because they have fewer population or subscribers.

Does the Ghanian government also collect same amount in tax?

Compelling them to fix a particular price is somehow even though they can be regulated!
The crux of the matter is that in terms of purchasing power parity, the Naira oupace the Ghanaian cedi.
