RandDigital: Anyone familiar with SA will know he's lying. Those mini shops or Nigerians in general don't hire South Africans. They hire their own, Zimbabweans or Malawians cause they can't afford SA labour - we don't work for peanuts.
They'll approach him on June 30 to produce those 25 South African labourers - we'll see then.
Thank you for inadvertently stating the real cause of Xenophobia in SA - wage disparity between undocumented immigrants and SA citizens
ChiefOloye: This madness and tears will continue till 2031 and beyond. If I were Igbos, I'll join APC now, work for the party, then hope for the best in 2031, Vice President to Ribadu presidency fit sure
What does the people of NE benefit from Shettima as Tinubu VP?
The Akwa Ibom State Government has firmly dismissed widespread reports suggesting that oil wells currently attributed to the state may be returned to Cross River State, describing the claims as speculative, misleading, and legally unfounded.
Speaking during a press conference in Uyo, the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Uko Udom, SAN, said the reports were a distortion of constitutional realities and a misrepresentation of ongoing administrative processes.
He clarified that the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) only received a draft report from a Federal Government Inter-Agency Committee on February 13, 2026, stressing that the document does not amount to a final decision, approved recommendation, or reallocation of oil wells. According to him, the Commission itself has publicly stated that the circulating claims are speculative and do not reflect any final position.
Hon. Udom emphasized that beyond procedural clarification lies the binding authority of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
He traced the dispute to Suit No. 124/1999, when Cross River State challenged Akwa Ibom State over boundary delineations, including the estuarine southern territory where the oil wells are located. He recalled that on June 24, 2005, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Cross River State only with respect to portions of the northern boundary, while dismissing its claims over the southern estuarine territory.
The apex court, he noted, relied on the October 10, 2002 judgment of the International Court of Justice on the Nigeria-Cameroon boundary, which fundamentally altered Cross River State’s coastal status following the cession of the Bakassi Peninsula.
The Attorney General further referenced the July 10, 2012 judgment of the Supreme Court, which reaffirmed that Cross River State was no longer a littoral state entitled to offshore derivation and described its claims as legally unsustainable.
The ruling, he said, firmly upheld Akwa Ibom State’s entitlement to the oil wells within its maritime boundaries.
Citing Section 235 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Hon. Udom stressed that decisions of the Supreme Court are final and binding on all authorities and persons throughout the federation.
He maintained that no inter-agency committee, technical panel, or administrative body can override, amend, or sit in appeal over a subsisting judgment of the apex court.
Hon. Udom assured citizens that no oil well has been ceded, no Supreme Court judgment has been overturned, and no constitutional provision has been amended.
He reiterated that all oil wells in question lie within Akwa Ibom State’s recognized maritime and littoral boundaries based on established hydrographic coordinates and legally enforceable adjudications.
The state government urged residents to remain calm and united, reaffirming its commitment to protecting the economic interests of Akwa Ibom State through lawful and constitutional means. Also present at the briefing were the Honourable Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah; the Commissioner for Finance and Special Duties, Emem Bob; the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ekerete Udoh; as well as other top government officials.
In Norway, all offshore oil wells belong to the Federal Government; whereas, all onshore oil wells belong to the sub-nationals. Nigeria please adopt that model
helinues: Only insane people will be happy with the insecurity in the country. All the excuses been made by this government are no longer making sense. Life's are at stake here.
I am suspending my support for this government until they fix the security issue
The Americans, Chinese and the Russians are here. It is a matter of time before the inevitable happens!
You know China is now a powerful ally of Nigeria, including a military ally?
The geopolitical forces that delayed that $10 billion complex for 40 years have very limited power today.
China don dust them. And China is with us. We are ALSO in BRICS, and are part of an increasingly assertive AU insisting on local processing of raw materials.
So Ajaokuta's tIme to rise is HERE.
I like your optimism, but Ajaokuta Steel Mill will never work. It will be cheaper to build a new plant entirely
If you park a brand new 1980 Mercedes Benz since 1981 under the weather, and you are trying to start it and use it in 2025, what do you think will happen? THINK!!!
OSUNADC: You should tell him to align with the winning strategy if not Amaechi, a more brutal fighter is ready to take his rightful place, and the result will be the same. Evicting PBAT from Aso Rock is sacrosanct.
ADC: HERE WE COME!!!
Amaechi (2027) will not be too different from Okowa (2023); Atiku should swallow the humble pie and concede 2027 to Obi for single term and we will witness a landslide.
Good, he should design a clover-leaf flyover at Nnobi junction;; then, award the dualization of Nnobi to Nkpor as well.
Then, in his 2nd tenure, he should award the dualization of the under-listed Roads: 1. Nnewi - Oba old Road 2. 33 to Otuocha, with a spur to the Airport 3. Extend Esther Obiakor Road via Ifite to connect the NEW GOVT HOUSE Road at Awka 4. Design an overpass at Regina Caeli, Awka 5. Diamond flyover at Book Foundation/Agu Awka Junction 6. Dualise the Amawbia By Pass to link the dualised Amawbia-Uga Road 7. Include at leat 2-metre walkways after the gutters on the either side of the dualized roads in the state 8. Consult road designer to develop/adopt standard for different categories of roads in the Standard. No walkway, no road construction 9. Plant trees not just at the median of constructed roads, but on either sides
eejo: Thanks to all those who asked about me. Am fine and busy working on my dream for a great Nigeria. My tears came down watching the level of suffering Nigeria have been subjected to. Hospitals are expensive with no resources, massive unemployment and food unaffordable for the common Man. Security forces are trying their best but not enough resources to combat crime. My words NIGERIANS ARE IN ECONOMIC HELL and something must be done urgently to save lives. I have started my fight for Nigerians and below is my letter to the political class which have been submitted to their offices and will use all my power to see Nigerians enjoy free Healthcare, Education and massive employment for our Youths.
The President Federal Republic of Nigeria.
NATIONAL EMERGENCY SERVICES AND FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL NIGERIANS Nigerians have over a long period of time have experience unspeakable things during incidents and this have to change. 80 percent of the country have no emergency response such as Ambulances, Fire service and many Families are struggling to pay educational fess for their children. My proposal to solve this problem is stated below 1, 10 percent Tax on all salaries paid in Nigeria to fund Healthcare and Education 2, Diaspora passport renewal should have a Tax fee for our development 3, All foreign Workers should pay Insurance Tax for our Healthcare and Education 4, 4 percent of all profit before Tax for Organisation in Nigeria paid as Insurance Tax Insurance Tax from the above sources will generate the fund to run free Healthcare and Education for all Nigerians. In addition, this will generate over 20 million Jobs for our youths and reduce poverty. The funding will be used to upgrade our 774 Hospitals in local government to international standard, 100,000 Ambulances from Innosons motors, 36 Air ambulance Helicopters, 100,000 fire trucks and this can be achieved within five years of investment. This project when implemented will change lives and position Nigeria as a superpower in the World. Enemona Ocholi

ENEMONA OCHOLI (Team Leader) Make Nigeria Great Again
As beautiful as what you wrote is, without electoral reform to ensure live transmission and collation of results, nothing will work in Nigeria. We need to elect the right leaders to spearhead the renaissance of Nigeria, and the current crop of leaders we have cannot do it, as they do that have the capabilities to do it!
helinues: Up till today, Peter Obi has not reacted to the IMF debt clearance by the FG
As at I am typing this, Peter Obi has not responded to the new tax bill that was just passed. That was before president Tinubu travel out of the country oo. He has reacted to the travelling but omitted the tax bill just passed. May be he's still looking for faults inside hence not yet reacting.
Nigerians have seen the charade of both Peter Obi and his supporters
Obi before now has told Tinubu that you don't tax poverty but prosperity.
Earthstorms: You are so wrong. Diabetes can be reversed and people are reversing it through diet.
Once the insulin sensitivity is restored through appropriate diet, you can eat all foods in moderation.
Diabetes is a dietary and lifestyle illness. To cure it you will have to change your diet and lifestyle that caused the disease. It's like alcoholism, you cure alcoholism by limiting intake of alcohol
I wish this your viewpoint isn't wrong. You may reverse pre diabetes, but not full blown diabetes
Avoid garri.rice.soft drink . alcohol.yam.most fruits and you will be fine
Brisk walking, garden egg, cucumber, fist portion food quantity with lots of green vegetables, you will be fine
Do everything to avoid the onset of diabetes, especially if you have family history of it

If I am to be 100% honest with my conspiracy theory, the woman invited the armed robber to her matrimonial home to do the deed when she was ovulating. Period!
Mordecai: Yes, that's exactly what she has been doing.
Isn't it clear enough?
Kindly help me to ask @Helinues, the meaning of UNKNOWN PERSON in law?. Its like your landlord going to court to evict you without serving you papers, but used an UNKNOWN PERSON or even a different name altogether. This can only happen in Nigeria!!!!
SlavaUkraini: The South East now have a chance to produce a Vice President if Peter Obi will team up with Atiku Abubakar in the upcoming election....
Only that Alliance can defeat Jagaban
If Peter Obi contest alone, he will lose
If Atiku Abubakar contest alone, he will lose
When Atiku Abubakar is done with his Presidency, then Peter Obi can become president.
Just watch as Obidients will disagree with me on this..
Aside from Goodluck Jonathan, who became President due to the death of his predecessor, has there ever been a time in Nigeria’s democratic history when a Vice President assumed the presidency after completing their term?
Obi will not become a vice to Atiku; we would prefer a hung election with no winner, then a run off
ukukaegbu: You are talking about Southsouth, In the SE he will not even get up to 10%
If the 2023 political tension, fragmented voting, 3-horse race (Atiku, Obi, Tinubu), and regional loyalty trends continue into 2027 — and the process is free of manipulation — a hung election leading to a run-off is highly likely.
TotoIsGud4boy: Igbos are a very intelligent tribe, they’re making Nigerians proud. If we can eradicate the bad eggs and chest beating then they can compete academically with the west. All the same Igbo amaka.
By the west, I hope you meant western world and not western Nigeria
ariesbull: But this crop of Igbo governors in South East are performing....I think the Igbo got it right this period
South is developing fast
You are correct, Imeobi Ohaneze took a decision to push development to Igboland and the political class aligned irrespective of party affiliation. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Regional railine will be launched next year connecting Onne-Obuaku-Aba-Umuahia-Mbaise-Owerri-Orlu-Ekwulobia-Nnewi-Onitsha
If your one month salary cannot pay your one year house rent in Nigeria ooo, please find your level or else you will suffer
If more than 30% of your monthly salary goes towards your monthly rent for abroad, please increase your hustle ooo, or else you cannot buy flight ticket back.
ceejay80s: They are doing what their master told them, Tax every body...even the dead.. Can all this rubbish happen during military rule in the 80s and early 90s. Today I saw a lastma official remove an army's cap from his head, Ordinary lastma, that is not a force, lastma that are just like boy scout or Vio, fire brigade comparing themselves with force like police force, army, navy and airforce
yyba: you are correct, otti is best on media not in reality.
.
Whilst not my governor, he is the best in everything and his people love him. I am sure if he agrees to port to APC now, he will become the best for you
yyba: All south east governors are doing great, except that of Abia state
Lienus MBA. Otti of Abia is the best of the lots, followed by the grammarian of Enugu, before the Omachancha of Anambra, the Supreme Court governor and in the not too distant fifth, we have Mr Carpenter of Ebonyi
franchasng: Let's make no mistake, Atiku Abubakar is a very powerful and influential politician in Nigeria who ought to have become Nigeria's President if not for his serial political miscalculations. I have sat down several times to study Atiku's political journey and at a point I felt pity for him, and also felt in my heart that his political misfortune could be a reward of his disloyalty and political arrogance of believing that he is better or bigger than other politicians, especially those from the Southern part of Nigeria. In life, if you want to become a great leader with good followers, you must be humble and loyal to your current leader no matter his or her age, this is where I give Bola Tinubu an A, truth must be told. Atiku failed in this regard by not being a good follower of his leaders that came from the South. First was his disloyalty to his boss Obasanjo, followed by Jonathan, now let's dive in deeper.
Atiku made too many political mistakes and miscalculations out of the arrogance that he was a rich and influential Northern politician.
Atiku's first political mistake was shielding his sword after drawing it out against his own boss OBJ. In politics and power tuzzle, once you declare war against a bigger political figure who now happens to be the President of the nation, don't ever go back, finish him up and take over if not, you are gone for real if he survives your attack.
Atiku already defeated OBJ in 2003 and was on his way to becoming PDP Candidate before OBj went and knelt before Atiku begging him to allow him finish his second tenure, that he would hand over power to him. Atiku being a naive politician accepted this after humiliating his own boss, the sitting President to kneel before him, he still expected same man to hand over power to him, who does that?
That was Atiku's mistake number one. He shouldn't have listened to OBJ's pleas, he should have went ahead to seize the PDP ticket and he would have completed OBJ's tenure.
After that mistake, Atiku still didn't learn. He was romancing with Bola Tinubu that Obasanjo knew was a future political threat in Southwest, Obasanjo was removing all the Governors in Southwest, replacing them with his political loyalists, when it got to Lagos, Tinubu went to Afenifere, Yoruba elders and Atiku begging them to intervene on his behalf, they all begged Obasanjo, Atiku being the one in charge of the PDP rigging mercenaries spared Bola Tinubu who happened to be his secret political ally in Southwest he was hoping would help him become President in future. If Atiku had allowed Obasanjo to finish Tinubu by removing Tinubu from Lagos, there wouldn't have been a Tinubu failing President today.
Atiku being a very naive and clueless politician continued in his political miscalculations again in 2014 when he led and sponsored a Northern political revolt against Goodluck Jonathan, his biggest mistake.
After Jonathan, the next biggest politician in PDP then was Atiku Abubakar and it was clear that after Jonathan, Presidential power was returning back to the North. If power remained in PDP and Jonathan completed his tenure and power went back to the North based on PDP's unofficial zoning agreement, who else was in the position to fly PDP ticket in the North if not Atiku? But being an impatient, naive and a bit arrogant politician, Atiku led Northern politicians under PDP to join APC, a party with 3 prominent politicians that were desperate to become President, namely; Buhari, Kwankwaso and Tinubu.
How did Atiku even believed he was going to become President under APC? So he believed that after Buhari finished 8 years tenure, Southern politicians would sit idly and watch him another Northern Fulani man collect the APC ticket to continue from Buhari because Southerners are fools but he decamped from PDP he founded just because he and others believed that Jonathan wanted to cheat the North by contesting the second time instead of allowing a Northerner to fly the PDP ticket?
And as a serial miscalculator again, the same Atiku repeated the same mistake in 2023 by picking Okowa instead of Nyesome Wike as his running mate. I know he was scared of Wike's arrogant, disloyal and untrustworthy personality to avoid having a powerful disloyal Vice like he did to Obasanjo should he win, but in politics, you go for the winning first and after that you start talking about putting your house in order. Though even if Atiku had chosen Wike as running mate, that wouldn't have guaranteed him a win because Bola Tinubu did not win, he only managed to buy INEC over as a result of Buhari's indecision and indifference on what to do, so even if Atiku picked Wike as running mate, Tinubu and INEC would have still did their dirty job but Wike would have given them a tough time and a fierce opposition to give Atiku another greater chance to repeat the same ticket in 2027 with a better chance of emergence if you factor in Tinubu's massive failure since he got sworn in as President
If not for your last paragraph, I would have agreed with everything you said!
