Why is she bearing the name Kekere ,is she dwarf?

It is a prominent Lagos Family name.

She is a thorough bred Omo-Eko (Faniro-Ogundinmu-Savage-KekereEkun).

Remember her brother-in-Law, Architect Nosirudeen Kekere-Ekun was a Commisioner in Lagos under MB Marwa and contested against Bola Tinubu in 1999 gubernatorial election in Lagos state.

The family patriarch was nicknamed Kekere-Ekun ( meaning the younger Tiger in Yoruba language)

Kobojunkieee:
Section 373 which is stated does not prescribe an arrest before the courts have prescribed judgment on the matter.🤔
https://jurist.ng/criminal_code_act/sec-373

He was arrested based on court order obtained by the security agencies and has been granted bail but he hasn't met his bail conditions.

mrvitalis:
There are 6 zones in nigeria
Igbos occupy one zone alone so when people say igbos they mean South East

South East produce most lawyers according to recent stats

If you think South East not producing CJN is not injustice then it's ok

CJN is appointed based on seniority and not based on Tribes and Geo-political zones.

Justices Katsina-Alu ,Idris Kutigi and Alfa Belgore are all from minority Tribes in the North-Central Geo-political zone, yet they became CJN.



Overall, I think Southern lawyers first practice Law for years before joining the Judiciary, hence they clock retirement aga earlier so they don't serve long enough to reach the rank of CJN

hisgrace090:
Tinubu will like some higher price fix for the fuel.

No be Tinubu go dictate to Dangote how much he should be selling his product.

malali:
IPMAN is pitting them up against the public.
Knowing fully well it would be hard for him to break even at that price.

IPMAN are fighting for their own profits.

They want Dangote to sell to them at a cheap price of #600/L while they will be selling to consumers at around #700-800/L.


They know what they are doing

Believeintruth:
You are the one that is slow here. They are saying the facts. For this year targeting 6K MW for Nigeria is a poor milestone performance for a country as big as Nigeria.

From 1960-2023: Nigeria generated around 3000MW.

2024: Nigeria is currently at 5000MW and if we reach 6000MW by Dec,2024 it is a great improvement.

If we continue on that trajectory, the future looks brighter.

Pacesetter123:
So who suppose to create the enabling environment for the manufacturing sector you are talking about?
Is it an ordinary citizen or the government?

My brother, whether I am speaking out of ignorance..oo as you said or from the point of knowledge..oo,the bottom line is that,it is the government bad policies that has caused naira to lost value.
If you like, you believe and if you don't like, leave it.
Even one example that you set above as the cause of lost of value of naira is still as a result of bad governance and policy summersault by the government.
So I still stand by what I said that it is government bad policies that made naira to lost value.

You don't understand, the Naira was never a strong currency.

What used to happened was the CBN using FOREX collected from the sales of crude oil to subsided the exchange rate.

With time, CBN started reducing this subsidy on exchange rates since 1986, thus the exchange rates were always increasing from #5= $1 ,#21= $1 ,#200= $1 until the exchange rate was left open for market forces.

As per enabling environment, there is no way accumulated problems since 1960 can suddenly be solved in 14 months of this administration.

More Nigerians need to go into efficient productivities.

Pacesetter123:
When you people the ruling class keep saying that protest is not the solution to bad governance and economic mismanagement,I wonder what then is.
What have you people in the ruling class or supporters of ruling class ever brought to the table as alternative solutions to our economy problems.

You said the exchange rate is #1500 to a dollar,is it not government bad policies that caused it?
Was it the ordinary citizens that made naira to lost value completely?

The people cry,shouted,pleaded but government paid deaf ears to their plights.
So what then do you expect the people do?
Fold their alms and allow government get away with anything-goes policies?
Or clap for government for bringing untold hardship to them?

You spoke out of ignorance.

The exchange rate is determined by what you produced for the rest of the world Vs what you consume from the rest of the world.

You can't be a consumming Nation and still demanding that your currency should be strong.


Show us one poor country with strong currency.


This is like the children from a civil servant parents demanding that they must live in duplex and ride Bentley as family cars

Jostoman:
I don't know why this government is so stubborn, it is very clear that this government derived Joy in putting Nigerians in pain and agony.

If I were Tinubu, I will simply invite the organisers of the protests to Abuja ,give them license to build their own refineries or import petrol with the proviso that they must sell their product (petrol) at #250/L

Bebigiby1:
Okay Mr know it all that doesn’t know that the reason nothing changed was because Nigerians in southeast and southwest sabotaged the protest over tribalism and useless sentiments which caused the protest to lose momentum…. Tinubu’s government will continue to divide and deceive Nigerians as long as majority prefer lies, tribalism and religious bigotry over good governance….

How did Nigerians in SW sabotage the protest? The protest didn't hold in the SE.


How will protest solve economic problems?

EreluRoz:
Well, I still believe he did something very terrible to her. That's the father of her kids, him don show her shege na me dy tell you

What next after this criminal act?


The Immigration Officer were very incompetent.
They supposed to arrest the woma for willful damage to Government Property (The International Passport belong to the Government).

Quest7777:
Lets get this clear:

-Prophet Fufeyin manufactures soap,
-sends the soap to NAFDAC for certification,
-NAFDAC certifies the soap based on the listed ingredients, that it is safe for use by Nigerians,
-Fufeyin prays over the soap and presumably impacts healing powers into the soap,
-Fufeyin puts up the soap for sale,
-Nigerians who believe Fufeyin has impacted healing powers into the soap buy the soap.

-VDM calls out Fufeyin as a Scammer
-Fufeyin sues him to court for spoiling business for him, restraining him from further speaking against the miracle soap.

My opinion:
*Nafdac only certified the soap as ordinary soap not as miracle soap so Nafdac has nothing to answer

*Court can not convict Fufeyin as a Scammer. I have never seen any pastor jailed on account of failed religious belief or prophecy.
Also it will mean all these pastors who sell Olive Oil as Anointing Oil would have been convicted.

*VDM should be careful. He stands the risk of being convicted for Defamation, cyberbullying or some other criminal charges.

NAFDAC certify products based on QUALITY, SAFETY and EFFICACY.


You only consider ,one aspect of certification- SAFETY (which means the soap will not harm the users) but didn't consider the two other aspects.

The Prophet is misleading people by advertising a soap as Miracle soap that can cure diseases/health conditions

ellizy:
Every ilorin indigenes needs to wise up on the religious misconceptions.
The Turaki of their land was married to a Christian, she died a Christian, it might not be in this article but we all know..
All this forbidden thier daughters from getting married to other religion is high time they need to wise up and put an end to it.

Only the unexposed and poor ones reason like that.

gabicon:
Goodness me, the rumors of senator Saraki's mother being from Zimbabwe were false after all.

Most Nigerians don't read ,thus are easily misled by rumours from their Social Media influencers and Local opinion moulders.

kingbee90:

I have said it before that the implementation of this bill would be a problem & governors will fight back.
How would the poor states cope?
Walahi! If all the 36 governors cook for Tinubu, can he be able to finish the food?
Mr. Fayemi, I hope you tell this to Agbadorians who were jubilating, thinking the bill was passed because of Rivers crisis.
You can speak yoruba to them since most of them don't comprehend & understand English.

You don't even understand the topic but reduce everything to Tribalism.


NO BILL WAS PASSED.

What happened was that the FG took the States to Supreme Court
1) To stop allow 774 Local Governments get their allocations directly with the Governors taking the lion share of it or even getting part of it.

2) To stop the use of unelected care taker committees in Local Governments Administration

3) The matter predated Wike VsFubara rofo rofo fights

in Rivers

4) Nothing concern Yorubas with Rivers Politics

Different people are giving their opinions on the Court Judgement, which is normal in a democracy.

vanbonattel:
The Ronu register will be used to check if you should protest or not, infact, Oro worshippers are even taking over the protest, they want to use their local masquerade to protest, keep off all ye settlers.

Abia State is paying #18000 minimum wage with many LG workers being owed salaries and IPOB has held the whole SE hostage on Mondays, why not go to these places to protest?

Thewrath:
Some Yorubas are the cause,giving a legitimate,lawful,peaceful protest a tribal and regional affiliation,(you want to practice regionalism through the back door)now the organizers are faceless…

Let’s see who you have to blame now,go and mark attendance on that day by region and tribe!

The protest should be peaceful unless the police and army decide to shoot unarmed protesters like they always do!

If you have been following the ways certain people have been threatening people in Government and holding Spaces on Twitter and going by their antecedents and charged atmosphere, then you would playing to the gallery, if you think this planned protests would be peaceful.

The Protests would be demanding for in change in Government and targeting people in Government, friends and relatives of key members of the APC.

The second president was effiong illiterate Yoruba Muslim.

The thread is about Lagos to Calabar Coastal Road,Nigeria.

It had nothing to do with Biafra, so stop derailing the thread.

LordBiden:
Same thing i was saying.the whole thing was staged to gather sympathy votes.the actors of that fake show must be smiling to d bank right now. Shooter is even a republican...lol man was even raising his fist while under a serious attack.

How do you stage an assassination on yourself, if you are a Billionaire Ex-President, using a 20year old boy to shoot your face and ear? What if it mistakenly enter through your eyes into your brain and you end up six feet below the ground?

success1smyn:
No, you can criticise, but don't distort fact and don't lie

The only time Tinubu left a political party for another one was when he and other leaders of the party decided to FORM another party - and that was from AD to AC, they later renamed AC to ACN to reflect national status and ACN to APC was a merger.

Actually, it wasn't that Tinubu left any party but the Adebisi Akande led Faction of the AD was in court with the other AD Faction led by Mojisoluwa Akinfewa, which was been sponsored by Obasanjo and the PDP.

The Akande led Faction resigned en mass from AD and re-registered their faction under a new name ,AC which was later renamed ACN, like you rightly said.

AcuraZDX:
Nothing new.

Same way Tinubu dumped SDP for AD, scattered AD and later jumped to AC and later ACN which merged to form current APC.

That's 4 political parties!!

You can fact check me!!

Cross carpeting isn't a new thing in politics.

Modified: See the way Tinubu Supporters are hurling insults because of this known fact. Wahala😂

It's obvious most of you supporting him are kids and very very uninformed.

Gen-Z forming political analysts are easy to spot.

Tinubu never changed party.

Under Military Rule: SDP was proscribed in Nov,1993 when Gen Abacha overthrew the Government.

1999: Tinubu ,Osoba, Lam Adeshina, Adeniyi Adebayo and others were elected under the AD.

2003-2005: The Obasanjo led FG was using some people to cause division within the AD by fractionalizing it, with Sen Mojisoluwa Akinfewa declaring himself the party chairman which led to a protected legal battle without any headway such that the AD Faction led by Pa Adebisi Akande, resigned from AD to form ACD/ AC.

2007: With entrance of new powerbrokers into the AC led by Ex-Gov Bafarawa of Sokoto, a motion was moved to expand the name from Action Congress to Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to reflect a national outlook.

2013: ACN, ANPP, CPC and a Faction of APGA merged together in 2013 to form the APC.

agulion:
That is why we Yoruba Muslims are very comfortable with Tinubus gvt everything is ok in the country, na hunger go finish Aboki and ipob

Nothing concern Tinubu with this project sir.

It was constructed by Oyo State Gov't in Ibadan, where Muslims, Christians and Traditionalists live peacefully together.

millionaireman:
Middle Belt alone successfully resisted Buhari's RUGA when the idea was mooted.
Obasanjo asked Buhari: "who will give you his land for RUGA?" Buhari backed off.
Tinubu can't stand the heat, not even from his Southwest people.

Ministry of Cocoa Farming, Ministry of Palm oil Farming etc.

Please, explain how the Ministry of Livestock would function (not assumptions).

Michaelcircuit:
Creating such ministry is totally un acceptable. Fulany ppl. That has bn destroying lives and farms: That the federal government want to give more immunity of destruction. I support Ohanaeze Indi Igbo on this one. President Tinubu simply reverse this one. I thought Nigeria is a democratic country. Nigerians are not in support of Ministry of live stock instead Ministry of Agriculture.

Briefly explain how the proposed Ministry of Live stock would affect you negatively or affect the Fulanis more positively.

Arostar2023:
Was it the northern reps or Fulani herdsmen that moved for the creation of the livestock ministry? Anyway, na all Nigerians dey feel am..

Which tribe is called Livestock?

VinnyBaba:
The Truth is Many of PETER OBI's haters do not like him, simply because of his Igbo background.

They find it difficult to Believe that an Igbo' Man could get such MASSIVE love from Nigerians. 🙂

Dat's why many of them make FOOLISH Claims He is an Igbo Project and that LP is an IPOB party.

Why did people criticized Jesus Christ?

DMerciful:
We can see 20yrs ahead, we know where this is going.

That is your own headache sir

DMerciful:
You never learn. No law can can specifically exclude Igbos without excluding Ekiti or Osun people.

Think!!!

Nothing concern Igbo in the topic, must you insert yourselves in every matter?

Afonja007:
Who i remember opon imo computer and abiola international airport osun state by Aregbeshola yoruba people, no need is late for your language, in the 80s every igbo born and brought in lagos can speak yoruba then but not again even those igbos born and brought in orile cant speak yoruba today is of no use to igbos,can you secure job in Toshiba heavy industry or Mercedes benz company with yoruba language?

Wetin concern you in the matter?

This is a good policy but the LASG should go further and translate SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOKS into Yoruba.

phemmie06:
Please must he be the one setting up all these committee,what is the work of minister of Agriculture?
If not that Mr. President is playing the wayo card .... He's trying to appease the North by using whom they once believed

Why do you think, only Northerners are the Livestock business? Every serious Southern State should key into Livestock production.

If most Nigerian Youths that are wailing online should go into production of goats, rams, pigs and cattle, they would become successful business men and Nigeria would be far better for it.

VinnyBaba:
Maybe because of Distrust for IGBOs.

PETER OBI's tribe is a Problem to many Tribalistic pple Who hates IGBOs over nothing or trivial issues.

If PETER OBI was an Etsako or Kalabari or Idoma Man, many of his Critics would have nothing against him.

I don't think so.

Nigerians would criticize him irrespective of where he cones from.
People criticize Jonathan, Buhari, Tinubu and even Jesus Christ, so People will criticize Peter Obi, regardless of tribe.

But Etsako, Kalabari, Idoma ,Birom,Yoruba, Angas,Nupe and several other Non-Igbo Nigerians gave Peter Obi, millions of voted.
