Oga, applaud what he's doing no dey change topic.
Na wah for you ooo.

Your brother's didn't applaud the Governor of Bayelsa when he built an Airport

If nah another state in the North or South West and South South, your brothers will tell them not to build the stadium because it's a waste of money

Otti should use the money to build a beer factory in Umuhahia

If nah one of the states in the North, South West or South South that decides to build a stadium, Obidients from the South East will claim the money should be spent on building beer factories

Lets see if they will advise Alex Otti to spend the money on building a beer factory instead of wasting it on a stadium

They have about 9 Judges there but any political case(s) that the man has an interest, goes to the three.

These ones na it's gone! Higher Courts will quash the case in favour of Mark.
It's a bad case for Nafiu ab initio. The fact he was in the NEC meeting and signed in attendance says it all, just forget the trial Court and look up to the higher Courts.

Gombe is saying he didn't sign, but you're claiming he signed

Who will the court believe between the two of you?

See drama,so if the court rules against David marks camp what will happen to their convention and primaries?

It's all going to be a waste of time and money

The David Mark faction will eventually lose

Bro it's. Bandits can't just come from far away north to be attacking people in Southern part.

It's the same narration with herdsmen that we have been blaming the Fulanis. Whose cows are those herders protecting?

The Fulani Bandits have been operating in the Southern Part of Nigeria before Asiwaju became the President

The FAAC Allocation Illusion: How Tinubu’s Administration Has Misled Governors About Rising Revenue

I wrote this article, “Has State Allocation Truly Increased? The FAAC Allocation Illusion,” on April 3, 2026 (you can read the full article here https://www.nairaland.com/8646982/state-allocation-truly-increased-faac). Looking back, it’s interesting to see more people beginning to make the same argument and arrive at similar conclusions.

My central point was simple: while FAAC allocations may have increased significantly in naira terms, the real value of those allocations has been eroded by inflation and the collapse of the naira. On paper, the figures look bigger. In reality, the purchasing power behind those figures is far weaker.

This is why I have consistently argued that quoting allocations without considering exchange rates, inflation, debt levels, and actual economic value creates a misleading picture. Numbers alone do not tell the full story.

It is encouraging to see others now raising similar concerns and questioning the narrative that higher nominal allocations automatically translate into greater prosperity or improved governance.

Sometimes, the numbers may change, but the underlying reality remains the samme.

The APC, President Tinubu and those who work with him suffer what in economics we call the "illusion of money"... By the devaluation of the naira to the dollar, it gives you an illusion as if additional money is coming in, but that money has no purchasing power,' says SDP's… pic.twitter.com/pso5oZ52lg

This Is Trash

There's a time in this Nigeria Governors couldn't pay salaries or pensions

Unser Asiwaju, Governors are comfortably paying salaries and pensions

I don't believe the kidnapping is political

It's just like calling the kidnappings under Jonathan and Buhari political

You should not have used the word travelled in that context

You said you fine it difficult to believe Diesel is more expensive than PMS

This is your comment below

Proudlyngwa:
What I still find it difficult to understand, is why Diesel is more expensive than PMS

If you've traveled to different countries in Africa and Europe, you will find out Diesel is more expensive than PMS almost every country around the World.

All because of one man's greed
I sha don't blame him, rivers people are responsible for this rubbish

Many people are saying Peter Obi abandoned Aisha Yesufu during the NDC primaries, but it's more like he could not do anything against the Northerners using him

The way some of you people reason is so shocking

Proudlyngwa:
What did you use diesel to do in those countries you travelled to

What sort of slow question is this?

So you don't know there are vehicles which use Diesel?

Proudlyngwa:
What I still find it difficult to understand, is why Diesel is more expensive than PMS

With this I feel PMS is being subsided by Diesel, because this makes no sense from a position of production.

And the petrol is unnaturally cheap.

Nah because you never travel abroad you dey talk like this

Diesel is more expensive than petrol in all the Countries I have been to

It does not matter, Asiwaju will still win because the opposition are not United

PresidentMUGABE:
Frustrated Nigerian Senators Makes U-turn Insist On Mandatory Electronic Transmission Of Result After APC Denied Them Ticket

It is no longer hidden that Nigerian Senators are currently agitating for mandatory transmission of election result from poling units to INEC server. These were the same people who few months ago stood on the failed APC mandate and said mandatory transmission of election result is optional.

The simple question is why the turn around now after they have lost their primary election. The Senate’s sudden passion for mandatory electronic transmission of election results did not come from love for democracy alone. No. Politics is rarely that innocent.

What changed was simple: the game turned against the players (The National Assembly) who thought they controlled it.Many lawmakers supported rigid party rules and executive backed electoral arrangements because they believed they had secured automatic return tickets. They trusted the system, until the same machinery began quietly replacing them with preferred candidates during the APC primaries.

That was the shock. The senators suddenly realized something dangerous: the political structure they helped strengthen could also be used to politically bury them.And once survival entered the conversation, transparency became attractive.

As our elders say, “The trap a man sets for another may eventually catch his own leg.”By insisting on compulsory electronic transmission without loopholes, lawmakers are no longer fighting for ideology; they are fighting to prevent party machinery from manufacturing outcomes behind closed doors.

In simple terms, many of them now understand that if elections must be won, then votes must genuinely count.The irony is powerful: those who benefited from the old system are now helping dismantle it because the system has finally turned against them.

Politics has a strange way of teaching people the value of fairness.

Nobody In the southeast, South-South, and north should protest against any Oyo kidnapping. Let the people who brought in Fulani mercenaries from the Sahara desert just to intimidate Goodluck Jonathan protest alone. Aura for aura. Oha for oha. Egusi for Egusi.

his tenure is 4 years. Beke shouldn't have forcefully removed in the first place. Now the APC has appeal the judgement in the supreme court of justice.

Liverpool are a naive club. Kloop is one of a kind if that's what you looking for. This guy started on a premier league note.imagiin if he had started likec arteta.

Sometime club need patience and not bow to pressure of the fans.

He was given a lot this season, and his team performed terribly

He spent over £400m on buying players

press9jatv:
not over. He was forcefully removed in which it's wrong. Beke will takeover the affairs of Rivers State APC over the court judgement.

When will his tenure end?

FBIBOT:
Gov. Seyi makinde really disappointed me the way he handled the issue of insecurity.... He said it himself that he saw these monsters when he went to Fashola farms and have them displaced then.... After that nothing..... I miss Late Ajimobi.... I might be wrong but he wouldn't have let this invasion to reach this level we are now..... The first thing he tackled was security.... He was at the forefront with operation burst back then

Don't mind Seyi Makinde who's arming Amotekun with Pump Actions to fight Bandits with AK47

Appeal Court Affirms Sack Of Okocha-led Rivers APC Exco

Tony Okocha is backed by Wike.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt has upheld the judgment of the Rivers State High Court nullifying the congresses that produced the Tony Okocha-led executive of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.

The appellate court, in a ruling delivered on Friday by Justice Elfreida Oluwayemisi Williams-Dawodu, affirmed the earlier decision of Justice Obomanu of the Rivers State High Court, who on December 20, 2024 declared the APC congresses in the state invalid.

Tony Okocha and members of the dissolved executive had approached the Court of Appeal in Suit No. CA/PH/523/2024 seeking to overturn the High Court judgment.

However, the Appeal Court dismissed their appeal and sustained the nullification of the congresses that brought the executive into office.

Emeka Beke tenure is already over

FatimaAbubakar:
Peter Okoye really spoke my mind. Voting has consequences. The same useless condemned cheap shameless tribal bigots criticizing Peter Okoye were the same people mocking a particular region that they're marginalized because of their voting choices. Now they're being killed left, right and centre by Jihadists and they don't want to accept the truth that their voting choice is paying off.

Anyone who brings ants-infested woods into his house shouldn't complain when lizards start visiting.

If you don't like what Peter Okoye said, you can hug the nearest transformer in your area. Shameless hypocrites.

Amotekun can't fight Bandits with Pump Action

While the direct primaries system hurriedly passed into law by Tilumbu is a disaster and very fraudulent in its implementation, NDC still decided to take the lead and make it transparent.

There's no 1, 2, 3, 4, 500, 600, 700, 10.99 million.....

Why is the direct primaries a disaster? Because it needs implementation standards. There should be a stakeholders meeting where INEC stipulates the standards and provides implementation equipment.

The normal standard process should be:

1. You arrive at the polling unit and present your membership card along with an ID card
2. Your name is validated on the voter register and you stay in line waiting at a polling booth.
3. There you cast your vote using a ballot paper or computer, depending on which the party chooses.
4. There is no staying in line to count, that is what makes it fraudulent.
5. After voting, the results are counted and a winner is announced.
6. This should make it resemble the real election so that people at least get used to the real election process using their party primaries.

I agree with the bolded

Kukutente23:
The 30bn is she in an account waiting for the remaining 25bn from FG
When will you provide information on when FG will release the remaining money to the state for a disaster that was caused by their incompetence

Kukutente23:
Why are you crying for some landlords when we all know that it's not that you really care for them
When will you start asking the FG same questions about the kids abducted in Oyo and Borno the VP's state
Or don't those kids deserve your concern and more?

So when will you provide information on how Makinde disburse the #30b he got from the FG?

gidgiddy:
Background

In 1966, there were coups, counter-coups, civilian and military leaders kill as well as pogroms. Thousands of people, mainly Easterners, majority from the Igbo ethnic group, were killed all over Nigeria, particularly in the North. Millions of Easterners headed back to the East. Lt Col Yakubu Gowonhaf assumed leadership of Nigeria and the then Military Governor of the Eastern Region, Lt Col Ojukwu, was very angry at him for not stopping the killings or arresting those doing it.

https://www.historians.org/resource/biafran-declaration-of-independence/

Thousands of Northerners were also attacked in the East.

Northerns in the East had to flee for their dear lives

The killing was going both ways in the North and East

Kukutente23:
Go back and read the guy you quoted so you can stop rambling
How much did Makinde request from same FG that licensed the miners? How much was given to him? Whn will the rest be released?

Why did you jump into the conversation when you have no answer?


Some landlord who totally lost their properties got just a mere #1.4m while billions of naira is sitting idle in a bank account. Is this the compensation you're talking about?
