Importation of petroleum products for the whole country for over 30years made Apapa port congested and unnecessarily complicated.

The coming on board of Dangote Refinery drastically reduced congestion at Apapa port

I have been thinking about this: please What will happen if kwakwanso decide to withdraw from the presidential race at the last minute?

His withdrawal wouldn't be recognised

Actually, he is 90yrs.

We should be doing SWOT analysis of how NDC will win.

SWOT analysis will injures the emotional feelings of the Obidients.

Another Yoruba

But it's Nothing right?

Keep quiet, you have problems with Yoruba, eventhough Joseph Tegbe is actually a Yorubanized Urhobo man.

Daniel Kanu tried to contest for House of Reps ,AMAC Federal Constituency ,Abuja in 2003 but the PDP quickly distanced itself from him.

festacman:
Elon is mischievous but who cares. Every country looks out for its interests.

But that policy sounds more like what Trump would wake up and do over a sumptuous breakfast. "No more black faces on my TV"

Black faces are US citizens, too

I used to think LAPO is for low income people and Trenches babes. . .where do they get the money to build this imposing edifice?

This look like a Primary School-level gossip.

franchasng:
I understand your point but if you are honest, it is mostly your people that have been running around from online to offline trying to defend Senate's decision to remove electronic transmission of polling unit results....and even today that Senate played smart by adding a clause to electronic transmission of polling unit results, it is mostly your people and Tinubu's staunch supporters that have been rejoicing and mocking the rest of Nigerians, its really surprising and disgusting at the same time.


Just because of Tinubu's ambition, they are working against something that will help transform Nigeria for better because elected government officials will start delivering on their campaign promises when they realize that it is only the people that can reelect them and not some INEC officials and their political party criminal structure plus power of incumbency.

Just keep quiet.

How many Yoruba have you interviewed, out of the millions of Yoruba?

Are there not, other Nigerians for and against this law?
Must all your criticism of Government laws,policies and programmed be about whipping up hatred against the ethnic group of whoever is in Aso-Rock?


Are there no Efik, Urhobo, Fulani ,Igbo,Ijaw among the over 400 legislators that passed the electoral law or they are all Yoruba?
Do you have more knowledge or greater stake in politics and elections, than these elected politicians?

Is Tinubu, the only politician running for election?

You have embarked on massive Anti-Yoruba sentiments since 2023, you haven't achieved anything and it would always fail you.

Heffalump:
She was even born in Nigeria. Now she's sounding woke and psychedelic, making ridicule of us. This woman is not representing at all. That's why I like the Indians. always connecting back home.

She was born in the UK but brought back home to school and learn Yoruba culture

Afonjudas:
She probably killed the man from the looks of it

The father was already old when she was born.

franchasng:
My brother it's sad that Southwesterners who claim to be enlightened are now the ones condemning this laudable move of elechronic transmission of polling unit results just because they believe it will make it easier for Tinubu to rig the election and continue the destruction of Nigeria under the guise of useless reforms

National Assembly is for the whole Nigeria,not S/West matter.
Argue /debates issues on the merits and demerits of the ISSUES but stop setting the Yorubas up for dragging at every discussions.

Tee fir thanks.

You didn't explain how it was uncovered.

Somebody ,who is studying the guys ,reported them.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
They're amateur, the coup suppose to be successful, tinubu snatched it right

This is NOT about Tinubu but Nigeria .

Nigeria has gone beyond the era of Military coups.

There are matured and intelligent officers in the Military, who knew the negative implications of coups for a fragile country like Nigeria and reported it.

Tenses:
People think say nah northerners versus tinubu but the koko be say nah southwesterners versus tinubu come 2027.

Which State in the SW do you honestly think this ADC can win?

Pierocash:
and that is why true federalism is the solution like Elrufai suggested. With regional government, you are responsible for your governance, and still have the privilege to access the market

Why must we belong to the same country?

Nigeria should be divided into

Arewa Islamic Republic
MiddleBelt Republic
Oduduwa Republic
Edo Kingdom
Niger-Delta Republic
Biafra

Pierocash:
it becomes lucrative for business.

Why do you think almost every foreign company wants to access the NIGERIA market. Even with the whole corruption, businesses strive better in countries with large population

Countries primarily exist as a safe space for peoples, living within the country, to pursuit their endeavours and reach the highest possible quality of life in that land. It is very difficult to fulfil this primary objective in Nigeria


Why has this not translated to high quality of life for Nigerians?

Companies go to smaller countries than Nigeria e.g Ireland.

Did you and your minigod not know of his born to rule syndrome before begging for his help or you found out after your minigod betrayed him?

The future of Nogeria is beyond the chidish talks of mini-gods vs mega-gods like this

Pierocash:
I think i agree with El-Rufai.

Nigeria should be restructured into a Regional Government with power transmitted to regions but still one Nigeria. By so doing, it will be easier to hold the regional government responsible without ethnic colouration. Devolution of power is the best thing to do. But sharia law should first be disbanded.

Nigeria is best divided into smaller manageable countries, where each country can galvanise their people into a nation, focus on developing themselves without unwanted attacks by marauding tribes , permanent cries of victimisation with subtle blackmail, accusations and counter-accusations that bedevilled Nigeria, as currently constituted.

Pierocash:
the population is an advantage

How is population, an achievement?

Name one significant achievement of one big Nigeria that would be absent in smaller manageable countries

Hmn..yes, he never knew that he could become one of the few Billionaires in the world, but he comes from a privileged background. His grandfather and father were rich and among the elites of their times.

Yes they have reduced drastically to what they were in 2023 before Tinubu got his own turn to ruin the country further down than his expired Buhari did.

Do you know if prices of foodstuffs have also reduced drastically to the level of 2015, when Tinubu made Buhari president as APC messiah, thereby ending 16 years of PDP deregulation and privatisation prosperity policies

How old are you, sir? You urgently need to grow up

Things don't return to pre-2023 anywhere in the world,not in the US, Germany, UK, Egypt or Australia.

Nigeria is seen as the giant of Africa yet battling with basic infrastructure such as good roads, better healthcare, education, power, etc. Is our population an asset of a liability? In particular, why is provision of electricity a nuclear science for every successive govt? Can Nigerian afford to pay for electricity we consume like other nations? Is our electricity subsidized by the govt? What is your view about this?
Below are 20 countries with the lowest average residential electricity costs (approximate averages in USD per kWh). Rankings are largely driven by heavy government subsidies, domestic energy resources (oil/gas/hydro), and regulated tariffs. Values are rounded and indicative.
Avg. Electricity Cost (USD/kWh)

Food is more important than electricity, why can't food be free in Nigeria?

Svoboda:
Obj obviously remains loyal to the Ironsis. Remember during his tenure as president, he appointed Ironsis son as minister of state defence, and now he's found it worthy to visit Mama Ironsi. Obj may have his character flaws and moral weaknesses, but he isn't in any way parochial or clannish. I won't be surprised to find Obj taking a stroll in my village in Anambra because he seems to be at home in any part of Nigeria. That's why it's a pity if indeed Tinubu is the best the Southwest can offer.

Posts like this reeks of ignorance.

1) Political parties, NOT Geo-political zones contest for Presidential elections. Tinubu won APC primaries in 2022, got the party's tucket to represent it in the 2023 presidential election.

2) Obasanjo and Tinubu had different backgrounds.
Obasanjo joined British Army/Nigerian Army, where people lived in Military Baracks,in relative seclusion from their communities and the Military became their new communities/families. Many soldiers like Obasanjo simply married multiple women or had concubines, from around the towns they served during their Military days except for few reclusive characters like Buhari and those isolated themselves based on religious and cultural reasons e g Sheik (Dr) Capt Ahmad Gumi.

People like Babangida, Danjuma, Murtalar Muhammad etc, who were Northerners were posted to serve in the South and when they reached the time to marry, they simply chose girls ,close to their Military bases in the South.

Truth be told, Nigeria no go break, I swear.
How e go break? See all di intermarriage wey don happen up and down, na one big family. Your mama from East, your papa from North, your pikin dey marry from West connections don tayad! Na only small group of people dey shout "breakup" for microphone, but inside street, market, and church, millions of us dey mingled and ready for one Nigeria. We don pass through many tins, and togetherness don already.

Russia (Big Russia), Ukraine (Little Russia) and Belarus (White Russia) have common ancestries and speak similar intelligible languages, yet they all separated in 1991 following the dissolution of the USSR.

After 800 years of conquest, domination, forced migration, partial cultural assimilation and eventually,shared ancestries, Ireland separated from Britain in the United Kingdom in 1922.

Apart from religious differences, India and Pakistan shared more in common than most tribes in Nigeria shares with each other.

Somaliland and Somalia speak same language, practice same religion and same cultures,yet separated eventually

Says a desperate Yoruba man.. who cares or seek your opinion.

Atiku has pocketed south south since 99’ and there’s nothing much you can do about that and Obi might soon inherit that.

It will take decades of democracy and trust for south south to align with southwest.. it’s beyond you or your rants ..
Obafemi awolowo did more .. to gain that trust..

In as much as south south has great differences with igbos and even have names for them .. politics is always different.
I’ve seen tinubu and his might in akwaibom .. I’ve seen him tour rivers State in his elements .. and yet had to rig with 100$ to gain a paltry number of votes ..

South south doesn’t begin and end with your tiny tribe in whatever state you’re from

Though we all know say you be Yoruba man.. but based on assumption

Awolowo had significant support in what we now called S/South.

In the Second Republic, Awolowo won in Bendel State (Edo & Delta States) and came second in the old C/River State (now C/River and A/Ibom States).

Many people in the COR Movement in 1958-66, supported Awolowo's party and the UPN narrowly lost the C-River gubernatorial election of 1979 to NPN, due to in-fighting while Ambrose Ali/UPN won Bendel gubernatorial election of 1979
