Ojiofor:
You got it wrong bro.
Nnanna is from Ohafia LGA in Abia state.

But his Facebook profile says otherwise

Ojiofor:
Are you serious?
But he is from Abia state how come.

He is from Olukumi area of Delta State.

paramakina202:
RONU social media bandits was dealt with by Nnanna when he called them sophisticated möröns and they went mad at him.

Interestingly, Nnanna Ocheoreome himself, though now igbonized but he is of Yoruba ancestry

Vinnie2000:
Some Nigerians CAN'T stand small Criticism.

But during Ex Pres Goodluck Jonathan administration,
It was their Wide mouths that spoke the loudest.

Publishing a book on the Nigetian Judiciary and making grave allegations against the Legal luminary is a serious case.
Dele Farotimi has been charged to court and reminded in Prison, from where the case would continue.

Cmanforall:
Your comment is appreciated.
For clarification, the 'substandard ' used was neither in relation to cassava nor wheat flour. In line with your comment, both flours can be used for baking. And I'll add, both are edible.
However, if the Senate succeeds to make if mandatory for cassava flour to be mixed with Wheat flour, then they are already setting a 'standard' for the Nigerian flour industry. If that is the case,
then, any flour, wheat or cassava, that is available will be regarded as not meeting their standard, and thus may be considered substandard (who knows the full details of the bill, these products may even be destroyed).
Also, when there's required percentage mixture in this 'new Wheat-Cassava' flour, alteration of the percentage content of either of the flour could also render it substandard.

Nevertheless, both flour are consumable, but the senate should not make the mixture 'mandatory'

Changes of this nature don't really requires the Senate or any law.

They are best implemented through Food Policies and Economic programs.

Cmanforall:
What level of education do you have?

Why not have pure cassava flour?

Don't you know this may give room to substandard baked goods

What is the standard and what is the substandard here?


You can actually use many different food items (breadfruit, sweet potato, corn, cassava, plantains, carrots, pawpaw etc) to bake different varieties of

bread either wholly or in different combinations.


The only reason why we assume that only wheat flour can be used to bake bread is because it was introduced to us by the white maen who baked their bread using wheat ,which were readily grown in their environment.


Similarly, we can brew beer from virtually all foods rich in starch but we restrict ourselves to only barley, hops, malts and sugar


Until we start massive decolonization of our food industry and other sectors of the economy, Nigeria will find it difficult to develop

ElevationD:
We thank him for that. We thank you too. Please remember in all you postings to mention the name Peter Obi. Infact even if you label him your reckless and irresponsible names, your audience know who you refer to. So thank you very much.

Go and warm eba.

ElevationD:
But many of you said that Obi was nobody. Many of you said that he could not go far with the last elections. Why do many of you still bother about him?

Anyway, some of us can simply thank your likes for helping us be Obi’s advert managers. Thank you for following up with him every second, minute, hour and day. Thank you for helping us with his stories. However you put it, whether good or bad, you help us with advertising him. Thank you very much.

Even David Hundeyin has read the hand writing on the wall and has dumped him

highchief1:
bros all this English no be wetin Nigerians need.as dem take increase make dem reduce am like that

Nigerians need to earn more money to be able to afford things they are used to get before.

Presidency can't dictate to private companies on pricing of their products

highchief1:
mad presidency.una increase smthg by 900naira.come later remove 50naira come Dey announce it as price slash.May God slash ur years on earth so that u will understand the full meaning of slash.This is my prayer to the presidency

Damgote Refinery and IPMAN are all private companies, there are not Government companies, let alone be under the presidency.


The Oil sector has been fully deregularized

oluztx:
Many people are jumping to conclusion just based of off the snippet of the video posted by the Bolt delivery driver.

The Bolt driver was very disrespectful and lacks customer service. His demeanor shows he doesn't like his job and doesn't want to be there. He ordered the man to come outside and pick up his food. Hon. Ikwechegh said no, he needs to bring it inside, which is expected as that's why people use such delivery services and pay the extra delivery fees. What if Hon. Ikwechegh was sick and couldn't make it outside? This is what delivery service is for. Otherwise, it's meaningless. They can as well go outside and drive to the restaurant themselves.

Hon. Ikwechegh even called the restaurant asking what's going on as he couldn't understand why the driver is acting in this manner. If I were him, I would have asked him to return the food. Can't trust eating a food delivered by a driver having an attitude.

Yes, his actions were wrong but the bolt driver was very disrespectful to order a man that lives in an upscale part of the city and obviously an honorable member to come outside. If he had his security detail, they would dealt with him and rightfully so. Delivery driver is a customer service job, you have to do it respectfully.

It appears this could also be premeditated by the bolt driver, like he's been there before, perhaps, didn't like his tip and decided to set him up by acting disrespectfully.

Most Nigerians are mini tyrants and love oppression if they have power over other people. This is why Big men threaten poor men with a shout of 'Do you know who I am?' and the poor ones would repeat similar behaviours if their fortunes change and they have find themselves in positions of authority. This is one of the reasons why ordinary Nigerians that join the Police, Military and other Services ,like to oppress the less fortunate ones.

When I was undergoing the compulsory NYSC orientation camp in one of the Northern States, there were some indigenes of the town that came to work within the camp and some worked as more or less errand boys/servants in an office in the camp. One of them was a guy called Abdullahi, who could barely speak in English language.

We were very friendly with them and this guy was becoming rude. One afternoon, I was encouraging him to return to his secondary school complete his education and do WAEC exams ,but he said he had his own plans- he wants to join the Military.

He said he applied the previous year but wasn't taken because he is originally from Tchad and has no Nigerian indigenship documents but he said, this time he would be taken because he had procured a recommendation letter as an indigene from the Emirof the town.


He further boasted that once he join the Military, he would lobby to be posted to NYSC orientation camp, where he would have opportunity to whip 'some corners with koboko' .
He also discussed some 'disciplinary measures' he would mete out to the corners. This was a very poor almajiri boy that struggled to speak in English language, already having this kind of mindset.


This politician can NOT try this in Europe ,Canada or US, he would have been charged for assault.

How many Catholic, Anglican ,Methodist or Baptist Priests have Private Jets?


Islamic Clerics just like their Christian counterparts in Orthodox Churches, are mostly employees of the Mosques.
Only private churches (now called Pentecostal churches) ,ram like private business Organizations of the founders have super-rich pastors

bluefilm:
Wow!

I really enjoyed this your story

But I still dey wonder how a 'small boy' like you will know what the adults are doing in the back of the chemist shop?

Na wa for you oooo

Anyway sha, can you continue with another Episode?

Any Pry-4 school kid in Lagos already have ideas (not knowledge or skills) about such matters.

pacino26:
You see Dangote almost crying because of what he passed through. Nigeria is not ripe for such now.

Dangote is like John the Baptist , paving ways for the coming of others in many sectors of the economy

9jatriot:
How exactly does a man who took heavy forex loans to build an important business as a refinery not mean well? Please explain.

Nigerians want the products cheap.

AK481:
It's not oh.

Others can't afford the current price as it will be over 1000 naira .

Protesters should march to Dangote Refinery and issue him an ultimatum to reduce the pump prices of his petrol or there would be trouble.

pacino26:
That’s a start. Now we need to know the exchange rate with which they supply crude to local refineries not just Dangote alone cuz someone like me is getting tired hearing only that name. The time for standardization is now, the template must be transparent to allow for more investment.

What we need is ,for more people to go into the Refinery business.


The Obidients Movement can even contribute money like they did during the election and build a small Refinery, in partnership with Gov Alex Otti at Aba, which can be selling petrol at #300/Litre.

Olachase:
NNPCL want all people to see that Dangote didn't mean well for the citizens

Both NNPCL and Dangote are criminals

Nigerians can NOT be satisfied.


The NNPC is no more involved in the marketing of petroleum products but you still want to be blaming NNPC.

Is it Ministry of Works that serve as Middle Men between Dangote Cement Pls and the Consumers?

vanvickie:
Hope this will not lead to a further hike in the price of PMS?

What exactly do you guys want?

Federal Government/NNPC have left the petrol business for the Private sector.

You can negotiate directly with Dangote ,to sell petrol cheaper for you, nothing concern FG in it anymore.

Sultty:
fg needs to probe dangote after probing nnpcl. These companies needs de-weeding

Probe Dangote for what?

mohbadliveson:
We calculate number of units per items we have (tv, fan, iron, etc) and bill each tenants. We contribute money and ask Papi Ebuka to go and pay at NEPA office

In the 1980s, guys like Papi Ebuka would spend the contributed NEPA bill and would give excuses for not producing the receipts for payments until the following week when NEPA officials would come to disconnect the power supply and cart away the wire, throwing the whole house into darkness. Then fight would start and everybody would start complaining against Papi Ebuka especially when they return home after a hard day at work , to sleep in mosquito infested rooms in darkness.

When NEPA restore light to the street ,with neighbours shouting up NEPA, but this house still in darkness, some younger co-tenants would become restless and start cursing Papi Ebuka. The following morning, Papi Ebuka would go to Nonso or Baba Muri's Shop to borrow #500 to pay the NEPA bill.
After this payment, NEPA would request for #50 reconnection fees (which was a huge amount of money in 1988) but the tenants would start arguing that it is Papi Ebuka that should pay but the guy man would turn a deaf ear and this may make angry and rude co-tenant like Ismaila or Broda Mike, to want to fight Papi Ebuka.


And tenants from the surrounding buildings would come to the compound to settle quarrel.

In the process, Chief Sylvester who lives opposite the house but has two shops at Idumota , may offer to pay the #50 reconnection fees.

The following week, while Papi Ebuka is yet to return from his chemist shop, Chief Sylvester would be making gestures at Mama Ebuka and trying to convince her, on how he could take better care of her than Papi Ebuka.Because there wasn't Hand phones then, these kinds of discussions were often done physically but in the process, Iya Amina ,the operate grinding machine at the next house would see the Chief talking with bedroom voice with Mama Ebuka a cross the road and boom, she would leave her house which doubled as her shop to trek 30 mins to Papi Ebuka's chemist shop to gossip with him about the brewing illicit relationship between Chief Sylvester and Mama Ebuka.

Papi Ebuka, would thank Iya Amina. Who would sit down to relax and used the opportunity to explain her backache medical conditions to Chemist Papi Ebuka. Then ,Papi Ebuka would say that 'this na serious condition o,but I fit give you ogbonge injection for inner room to cure it one time' and encourage Iya Amina to enter the inner cubicle in his Chemist shop which also doubles as his 'injection room'

As soon Iya Amina enter the inner cubicle, remove her wrapper to take the injection, the Devil would come into the play and one thing would lead to another, such that Papi Ebuka's diick would mistakenly enter the Pussy of Iya Amina ,in the inner cubicle. After 5mins, both would come out with Iya Aminat frowning her face as if unhappy about the 'mistake' that just happened but Papi Ebuka would console her , offer her a bottle of chilled 7-up or Mirinda with #20 to use as transport fare back home. And at that time ,i was a small boy sent on errand by Uncle Timo Shenko to buy amala at the junctiin and branch at Papi Ebuka's chemist to buy Tetracycline (commonly used to treat diarrhoea in those days), i was waiting at the counter for Papi Ebuka to come out and sell medicinesfor me ,when my preying eyes saw the two of them coming out from the inner cubicle in awkard positions.
Papi Ebuka would offer me 'condensed' which was a kind of home made ice cream tied in small bulbs of transparent nylon bags,in subtled attempts to bribe me because he knew that I saw what just transpired . He would also tell me that he has just bought a new football for Ebuka(his son who is my play and primary school classmate) and that I should be coming more frequently to their compound to play football. And this subtle bribes often worked because I wouldn't disclose the matter to anyone until over 30 years later, by which time the viscitudes of life has made me to understands that sometimes, shit happens amd what happens in Vegas ,still in Vegas.



...This was a typical 'trenches life' of Lagos in the 1980s.

MadPolitician:
In our schools, especially in the universities, where we are skilled into different professionals in life, English is the language used.

If he is so terrible in that language, how can you vouch for his academic abilities, which are solidly essential for him to operate as a chief executive of a state

If you go to Lagos or Onitsha, you will see many houses built by people who can't speak good English Grammar while University graduates who can speak Queens English are their tenants.

Realtruth2023:
Oga stop talking and stoking tribal hatred. People said parts landmark was demolished. Stop this stupidity.

No parts of Landmark was demolished.
They had time to remove their tents at the coastline and water front, which belong to the Government.

aalangel:
Landmark Beach was demolished and remains demolished. I did an extensive report on it.
I stood at the same place Sanwolu was standing to do my outro. You can see the place from Landmark HQ.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tkRb7v8vf8

Landmark has no beach.
The water front and the coastline belong to Government.

Landmark bought land (not beach) from the Oniru Family.

Tareq1105:
And how much can you donate from now to 2027 that would make the party financially okay for the ever growing campaign expenses minus the one that leadership would embezzle?

I am not a member of the Labour Party but if Labour Party wish to make a difference in Nigerian politics, they need to do things differently.
There should be a level playing field for all members regardless of their financial status and reduction of the negative effects of monetization in the electoral process

OgbeniOja1:
but LP is dieing. Obi needs to leave and create a brand new party he has better control of.

The Labour Party need to intensify in their campaigns to attract new members.
They should target the ordinary people like NURTW members, Farmers, Okada riders, University students, Musicians, Clerics and make their tickets Cheapest.

Funding of the party should be by donations and monthly contributions from members.

Chetas81:
not necessary as you the Nigerian citizen failed to remove mele kyari and the other man destroye the nnpc

Dangote does NOT need Mele Kyari or NNPC or FG to sell petrol to marketers/consumers just as he doesn't need Federal Ministry of Works before selling his cements to the consumers.

maxiuc:
Every Yoruba man is from Lagos

I use am the yab my guy that year

All Yorubas are proud of their towns and ancestries, that is why Yoruba have OKIKI, that talk about their ancestries, the exploits of their forebears and hometowns.

As a matter of fact, the ORIKIs of many prominent Families in Lagos show that their origins are from the hinterland e.g The ORIKI of the Oniru Royal Family ,(on whose land ,Victoria Island was built) point to Mahin (Ilaje) ancenstries while the Onikoyi points to Oyo ancestries.

As a matter of fact, anywhere you see IKOYI ,either in Lagos State, Osun, Kogi State or Benin Republic, just know that there are from the Old Oyo Empire because the 'The Ikoyi Esho' were the Royal Battalion that used to protect the Alaafin in the Old Oyo Empire.

By becoming more sophisticated in our productivities.
There is need to adopt the latest technology in the ways we produce foods, garments, shoes with better organization for storage, distribution and marketing.

shaboti:
And that's exactly what you Yoruba people want. For someone that cannot coherently complete a sentence to be forced on the good people of Edo.

It can't be well with you and your folk.

Edo State is not Yoruba, so leave Yoruba out of your madness.
Asue Ighodalo, Olumide Akpata and Monday Okpebholo are Edo men.

aswani:
An excellent write up sir but I must challenge you on this paragraph.

Western region started at Mushin and Jibowu, both of which are much further outwards, from a Western region point of view, than the Ikeja and Maryland you stated.

Of course, foolish Obidients don't think Epe, Badagry and Ikorodu people are not "real" Lagosians and shouldn't be allowed to be part of it's governance.

Na only God know wetin concern dem sef.

The Obidients and GRV are trying to refine who is an indigene of Lagos State by narrowing it down to only descendants of returned slaves from Sierra Leone or Brazil.
