Lemi go tell your mother you said she is insane.

Streetinvestor2:
Even if adc produce a stick we will vote the stick in SE.If you people like open 20 topics everyday on obi hel anus. SW president will never be an option to us.He won't see 10k votes in SE Even with apc governors. They are all just cashing out..lol
We know u all desperately wanted him to remain in LP with SW president moles so that the kind rigging that happened in 2023 will be easy again. He is smarter than your SW president

Who is We. If nobi obi. Make tinubu dey rule dey go.

AMINDA:
Here we go again. The right thing was also for Tinubu to step aside and support a candidate from the Southeast in 2023 but he didn't because power is not served on a plate. You have to give to receive. Tinubu gave to the APC in 2015 and rightfully received when it was time (hence, Emi Lokan). That's political horsetrading. The ADC is a new arrangement and a coalition. The party will consider its strengths and weaknesses and choose its candidate through a transparent primary open to ALL candidates. Whoever is not comfortable with this arrangement should not bother joining the party and go try their luck elsewhere.

We dy wait for u n dat ur Atiku down the South. No noise

Paul Ibe, the media adviser to former Nigerian Vice President Alhaji Waziri Atiku Abubakar, responded on his official X account on December 26, 2025, to comments made by Bayo Onanuga. This follows remarks from former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, who expressed his willingness to accept Donald Trump's intervention in Nigeria after a US military strike on terrorists in Sokoto state.

Peter obi called for invasion instead of co-operation.

manuelkel:
That is what happens when you have a competent engineer like Dave Umahi.
I can testify that Dave's company is quick to finishing infrastructures.
The man dey supervise projects himself everyday, you can't give him an excuse.

Aside this project, Dave is a very reliable engineer he might be crooked with the quality of his projects but you see that project, he will always supervise it himself.
Dave is the only competent minister Tinubu's government have ever produced, kiss the truth.

No. Many of them are working. From wike to umah to tunji to tourism(first time that ministry is working)

Answer the first question, what brand of rice is 55k?

So according to you standard of living is better today than when tinubu took over?
But the tinubu in his speeches acknowledges thar Nigerians are going through pains and hard times because of his policies.
So who should we believe, tinubu or his asslickers.

Point of correction, am not very passionate about who is the president, and not loyal to any politician the way you guys asslick your political gods

Is not about one big name. I bought a bag of rice for 51k last week. It was very nice, tasty also.

samstandard:
In Nigeria, the price of rice has always followed an upward trend — especially during the Christmas season.

Every year, as demand increases during the festive period, the price of a bag of rice rises sharply. What many Nigerians see each December is not sudden; it’s part of a long-standing pattern driven by high demand, inflation, transport costs, and policy shifts.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how the price of a 50kg bag of rice has increased over the years:
2015 — ~₦10,000
2016 — ~₦13,000
2017 — ~₦16,000
2018 — ~₦18,500
2019 — ~₦19,500
2020 — ~₦26,000
2021 — ~₦30,000
2022 — ~₦35,000
2023 — ~₦50,000
2024 — ~₦85,000–₦120,000
2025 — ~₦60,000– 80,000

But a closer look at the price trend shows that in this year (2025), the price went down.

This hasn't happened in a long long time.

Is this Tinubu effect or what?

I bought a bag of rice for 51k here in owerri

Good day Nairalanders,

What is the light situation in your area, just as the heading suggests.

In my office 🏬 Lekki phase1, light has been very bad, since last month, despite the fact that we are on Band A, we have been solely relying on generator from morning till night.

In my house at around Obalende, infact that one os worst, sometimes, I stay in the office late, so that once I enter house, just take my bath and sleep straight..

The most painful part is that, my inlaw who is from Oyo state are complaing bitterly that light might not even come for 2-3 month and when it does, it won't last more than 4hours and its gone..

We have a minister who is from Oyo state and can't even manage just a ministry and want to govern a whole state.

The light is really giving me a concern, mostly this festive period that alot of expenses is there, you will still be thinking of powering generator with high rate of fuel to welcome visitors..

Mine is like 16-18 hrs. In ikenegbu owerri

BarrElChapo:
lol keep dreaming, Dangote merely reduced prices for the holiday season.

U are unhappy that tyns are going well. If he can reduce it at this Christmas season when demand is much, it will reduce more next year. Nigeria will excell.

AMINDA:
No. The key takeaway is clear. Obi should make up his mind. He can't continue to parade himself as a member of the coalition while undermining it. No one insists that he must be a part of the coalition. Obi has already lost some ground in the SS, SW and the NC and he has lost those grounds to Tinubu. There may even be voter apathy in the SE if he insists and runs solo. On the other hand, if Tinubu has lost any ground in the North, he has lost it to Atiku. The ADC will conduct a primary. That is non-negotiable and it's ticket will not be zoned. Obi should do what's in his best interest. I personally want him to run solo. It will create the perfect scenario for the election to go into a run-off because Tinubu will not get the highest votes on the first ballot.

Anakoheri.. una think say Dem dy use mouth play ball. All na Noise

ChiefOloye:
Rev. Father is a major stakeholder in this President Tinubu Government, he may be the sponsor of this new Defence Minister. No wonder he said there is no Christian genocide in the North, after crying of persecution for several years under Buhari, Baba got invitation to the dining table, mouth changed. 😄😄😄😄

But he is not lying. Is there a Christian genocide in the country, yes there are killings but is it with the intention to wipe out christians. Mind you I'm an Anglican from Abia state, stayed in like 4 core northern states faced with all this insurgency.

Gerrard59:
What was your experience like? Did you drive or own a car while in the city? If yes, what kind of car please?

I do. I drive a Camry 2014 XLE. But had nothing to with the car i was driving. Although they harass most guys in flashy cars. Especially es350

gidgiddy:
Yes, Peter Obi was. But Obi dud not employ James Nwafor, Governors have no control over Police. So the question you should ask your self is why the Nigerian Police, whose duty it is to protect life, were busy wasting life

Thats why there was ENDSARS protest, people got tired of the Nigerian Police wasting lives.

Govs have major influence on who man some commands. If hope wants commander of Tiger Base gone today. He can do it

gidgiddy:
The highly notorious Police detention centre and headquarters of the Imo State Police anti kidnapping unit, known as "Tiger Base", in the heart of the Owerri, needs to be shut down.

The news coming out of Tiger base is horrific. Illegal detentions, torture, extortion and extra- judicial killings. Terrible stories of how people are whisked away to Tiger base, tortured and made to cough up huge sums to secure their release. This takes us back to the dark days when SAR's became a terrorist organisation with bases in Lagos, and the notorious Awkuzu SAR's

Shut down this terrorist camp masquerading as a Police unit, shut down Tiger base, Owerri.

After i spent a month there. It didn't kill me. Nothing again will kill me. On God

Says by a major shareholder in the dangote refinary.
For your information, most of these so called oil mogules are all parts of the dangote refinary ownerships .
In a saner economic world, are they all not supposed to be competing? Imagine all of them going on a constant visit to the refinery when it was still under construction, doesn't that tells you alot of what's happening in the country?.
This kontri is officially dead,killed by the so called defenders of the CURRUPT politicians. Consciously defending lies without conscience just because of monthly stipends

What is wrong being a shareholder. Did anyone stop you from investing or joining hands to build something. I don't just understand you all, he invested. You don't want him to reap from his sowing. Yet you want God to prosper you. Y'all shouting consumption to production yet this is our own, you don't support it. At this point I think you all are bitter your Messiah is not there, not about the good works.

Lol. Is it not same Country illiterate Atiku asked asiwaju should go and learn from their president.

Dogalmighty17:
Wike is a major reason why the president is being viewed negatively. He is needlessly creating enemies for the president.

Swear say u don ever view this administration positvely even without Wike in it. U have never supported tinubu nor did u vote him. So y r u now concerned who he wants in his team.

Franklyspeakin:
even though I don't support her but guy who gives notice in Lagos anymore??

There is a public notice to doing business on the road. So she needs a special notice as per bleaching celebrity.

Na actress. She must show her skill. U want to do food content in form of giving to the needy. U decided to do it at the center of the road. Forgetting cars around that moves with Fuel. Yet emotional Nigerians r supporting you.

Orlandoo:
Even the man child Wike was, as a minister of education, state, came to commission some of the projects Obi executed during his tenure as the governor of Anambra state. Now Wike is suffering from selective amnesia not to remember.

Did obi not come to commission projects also in rivers state.

nnachukz:
He thinks Sowore can help him in this case, he doesn't know this is squarely on him. The burden of proof in a case like this, is much. It is easier for the bribe giver to accuse the receiver and proof it maybe through marked or serialised currencies than for the receiver to accuse the giver and proof his accusations, except there are things like video coverage and/or transaction history.
Obi in this case can easily win you even if he gave you the bribe, how much easier if he didn't.

Win in heaven. Dey play. Case weh don die. Infact he will burst obi's bubble.

Are you sure of being the minister till next year?

Go comot am now

Duplex90:
Tinubu should let wike go, he is giving him a very bad pr. Believe me opposition are gathering receipts come 2026 eh the heat tinubu will face from wike angle will be unbearable. Wike is a known thief and doesn’t hide it, who does that!! Imagine throwing billions on your sons, allocating lands to them, something even tinubu himself wasn’t caught doing for seyi. Wike is a liability to tinubu at this point i dont care how many roads he’s using as a trojan horse.

U no vote tinubu b4, opposition no vote am. Una no go still vote am next election. So y r u all concerned who tinubu shld have in his team or not. You all know the strength he pulls. With or without u Asiwaju will win again. So rest

Wike Boycotts Council Of State Meeting Amid Rift As Tinubu Snubs His Candidate, Appoints Amupitan INEC Chairman | Sahara Reporters


The appointment of Joash Amupitan as Nigeria’s new INEC Chairman has deepened the growing rift between the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, further exposing the fragile alliance at the heart of the administration.

According to insider accounts, the disagreement has become so severe that Wike boycotted the Council of State meeting in protest, sending the Minister of State for the FCT in his place.

He is also believed to have reached out to several former Nigerian Heads of State, urging them to stay away from the meeting, a move that widened the cracks already visible within Tinubu’s inner circle.

Wike’s political decline began shortly after human rights activist Omoyele Sowore publicly exposed his undeclared real estate holdings in Florida, USA.

These revelations sent shockwaves through his family and political network. Before the exposé, Wike had just returned from a medical trip to the UK, where he reportedly received treatment for a heart infection.


Energized and combative, he resumed his long-standing feud with Governor Sim Fubara, his political protégé-turned-adversary, after orchestrating efforts that removed him from office for 6 months.

However, Wike’s renewed confidence soon crumbled. During one of his public tirades, he threatened Sowore for calling President Tinubu “a criminal,” a remark Sowore made on social media in response to Tinubu’s infamous statement in Brazil that there was “no corruption in Nigeria.”

Wike’s arrogant claim that Sowore was “lucky Tinubu believes in the rule of law” and would one day encounter someone who did not only inflamed the activist’s resolve.

The confrontation prompted Sowore to release damning evidence of Wike’s corruptly acquired foreign and hidden local assets, igniting widespread outrage and drawing the attention of the Presidency itself.

In the aftermath, Tinubu’s trusted advisers began to reassess Wike’s role in government, concluding that he had become too erratic and politically toxic to be trusted with sensitive national matters.

Wike had reportedly pushed hard for Justice Abdullahi Muhammad Liman, a justice of the Court of Appeal, to be appointed as INEC Chairman.

He secured clearances for him through several security agencies, confident that Tinubu would approve.

But following mounting skepticism within the Presidency, Liman’s candidacy was quietly dropped. SaharaReporters learnt that Liman and Wike are so close that he once blocked security agencies from searching his house in 2016.

Tinubu instead appointed Joash Amupitan, a lawyer and legal scholar from the University of Jos. Tinubu is said to have told close aides that Wike was “too unstable and untrustworthy” to influence the leadership of Nigeria’s electoral body.

The breakdown of trust soon extended to media control and censorship. After Governor Fubara’s reinstatement, Tinubu reportedly ordered Wike to suspend his monthly media briefings, arguing that his combative tone was damaging the administration’s image.

Furious, Wike appealed to Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, warning that silencing him would only “make Sowore too powerful.”

The exchange reflected the degree to which Sowore’s exposés had undermined Wike’s standing within the Presidency.

Amid the turmoil, Wike allegedly approached the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) to amend his asset declaration, seeking to include the properties exposed in Florida and elsewhere.

But officials reportedly told him that the original documents had been forwarded to the EFCC, leaving him politically vulnerable and deeply unsettled and betrayed.

His growing frustration culminated in Thursday’s Council of State meeting, where most former Heads of State conspicuously boycotted the session.

Presidency insiders suggest Wike played a role in orchestrating the boycott to demonstrate his displeasure with the appointment of Amupitan.

According to sources, the meeting’s agenda initially made no mention of an INEC appointment, but Tinubu allegedly sprung a surprise by asking the Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Ododo, to present Amupitan for confirmation.

Caught off guard, attendees had no choice but to endorse the appointment.

The unfolding drama marks a new phase in the uneasy relationship between Tinubu and Wike. What began as a strategic alliance built on mutual political convenience has now morphed into a cold war of influence, suspicion, and retribution.
