Politics / Re: FG To Pay N2.75bn Compensation For Coastal Highway Demolitions Today by penta(m): 2:15pm On May 01
Landmark is not entitled to 1kobo as the situation stand now.. instead is Landmark that will pay Lagos state govt and the Oniru family or he take its brand out of that locality.. dubious investor.


Beggersarenotal:



You are very funny, so you think FG will cough out ₦352.912b to landmark? Just dey play.

The entire budget of osun state for 2024 is less than 300billion.

If landmark see 5billion naira he should thank his stars. You think tinubu doesn't know all those tricks. Just dey play

Politics / Re: The Worst Of Labour Party Is Better Than The Best Of APC, Says Kenneth Okonkwo by penta(m): 11:00am On Apr 11
emkz:
No. A party that cannot sort out its internal affairs is the best of APC and PDP?

A party whose national chairman is accused of fraud and financial impropriety is better than APC and PDP?

A party whose national chairman disregards the presidential candidate is better than APC and PDP?

A party hijacked by the national chairman is better than APC and PDP?

A party that could not mobilize party agents for elections is better than APC and PDP?

A party with someone like Kenneth Okonkwo is better than APC or PDP? Kenneth Okonkwo vacillated from capitalists (PDP) to progressives (APC) to socialists (LP). That guy is ideologically unstable, and a danger to himself.

The worst of Labour Party is not a pandemic to be wished upon Nigeria.

A political party that cannot win Presidential election is comparing itself with titans.. Okonkwo is smoking something as well as his cohorts in the Labour party grin grin grin

Crime / Frequent Lagos Solar Panels And CCTV Camera Stolen. by penta(m): 11:33am On Jan 03
Recently, Lagos State Government installed some solar-powered streetlights in some parts of the state. A few weeks later, the solar panels are being stolen.

The police was informed and got to work. A few days back, 30-year-old Emmanuel Achogwu was arrested by officers from Alausa Division on Ikosi Road with four solar panels, moments after he removed them.

Investigation reveals that the suspect was one of the technicians contracted to install the solar-powered streetlights. Investigation is ongoing. *In another case: 25 CCTV cameras installed by Lagos state were recently stolen. 3 person has been arrested already.
The camera was taking pictures of the criminal while he was climbing the pole. They traced him to his house at Ayobo & arrest was made.
2 other suspects were arrested at Trade fair.

Politics / Full Text Of President Tinubu’s New Year Address by penta(m): 8:19am On Jan 01
Dear Compatriots,
It gives me immense joy to welcome each and everyone of you – young and old- to this brand new year 2024. We must lift up our hands to Almighty God, in gratitude, for His grace and benevolence to our country and our lives in the year 2023 that has just gone by.
Though the past year was a very challenging one, it was eventful in so many ways. For our country, it was a transition year that saw a peaceful, orderly and successful transfer of power from one administration to another, marking yet another remarkable step in our 24 years of unbroken democracy.
It was a year, you the gracious people of this blessed nation, entrusted your faith in me with a clear mandate to make our country better, to revamp our economy, restore security within our borders, revitalise our floundering industrial sector, boost agricultural production, increase national productivity and set our country on an irreversible path towards national greatness that we and future generations will forever be proud of.
The task of building a better nation and making sure we have a Nigeria society that cares for all her citizens is the reason I ran to become your President. It was the core of my Renewed Hope campaign message on the basis of which you voted me as President.
Everything I have done in office, every decision I have taken and every trip I have undertaken outside the shores of our land, since I assumed office on 29 May 2023, have been done in the best interest of our country.
Over the past seven months of our administration, I have taken some difficult and yet necessary decisions to save our country from fiscal catastrophe. One of those decisions was the removal of fuel subsidy which had become an unsustainable financial burden on our country for more than four decades. Another was the removal of the chokehold of few people on our foreign exchange system that benefited only the rich and the most powerful among us. Without doubt, these two decisions brought some discomfort to individuals, families and businesses.
I am well aware that for some time now the conversations and debates have centred on the rising cost of living, high inflation which is now above 28% and the unacceptable high under-employment rate.
From the boardrooms at Broad Street in Lagos to the main-streets of Kano and Nembe Creeks in Bayelsa, I hear the groans of Nigerians who work hard every day to provide for themselves and their families.
I am not oblivious to the expressed and sometimes unexpressed frustrations of my fellow citizens. I know for a fact that some of our compatriots are even asking if this is how our administration wants to renew their h ope.
Dear Compatriots, take this from me: the time may be rough and tough, however, our spirit must remain unbowed because tough times never last. We are made for this period, never to flinch, never to falter. The socio-economic challenges of today should energize and rekindle our love and faith in the promise of Nigeria. Our current circumstances should make us resolve to work better for the good of our beloved nation. Our situation should make us resolve that this new year 2024, each and everyone of us will commit to be better citizens.
Silently, we have worked to free captives from abductors. While we can’t beat our chest yet that we had solved all the security problems, we are working hard to ensure that we all have peace of mind in our homes, places of work and on the roads.
Having laid the groundwork of our economic recovery plans within the last seven months of 2023, we are now poised to accelerate the pace of our service delivery across sectors.
Just this past December during COP28 in Dubai, the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, and I agreed and committed to a new deal to speed up the delivery of the Siemens Energy power project that will ultimately deliver reliable supply of electricity to our homes and businesses under the Presidential Power Initiative which began in 2018.
Other power installation projects to strengthen the reliability of our transmission lines and optimise the integrity of our National grid are ongoing across the country.
My administration recognises that no meaningful economic transformation can happen without steady electricity supply. In 2024, we are moving a step further in our quest to restart local refining of petroleum products with Port Harcourt Refinery, and the Dangote Refinery which shall fully come on stream.
To ensure constant food supply, security and affordability, we will step up our plan to cultivate 500,000 hectares of farmlands across the country to grow maize, rice, wheat, millet and other staple crops. We launched the dry season farming with 120,000 hectares of land in Jigawa State last November under our National Wheat Development Programme.
In this new year, we will race against time to ensure all the fiscal and tax policies reforms we need to put in place are codified and simplified to ensure the business environment does not destroy value. On every foreign trip I have embarked on, my message to investors and other business people has been the same. Nigeria is ready and open for business.
I will fight every obstacle that impedes business competitiveness in Nigeria and I will not hesitate to remove any clog hindering our path to making Nigeria a destination of choice for local and foreign investments.
In my 2024 Budget presentation to the National Assembly, I listed my administration’s 8 priority areas to include national defence and internal security, job creation, macro-economic stability, investment environment optimization, human capital development, poverty reduction and social security. Because we take our development agenda very seriously, our 2024 budget reflects the premium we placed on achieving our governance objectives.
We will work diligently to make sure every Nigerian feels the impact of their government. The economic aspirations and the material well-being of the poor, the most vulnerable and the working people shall not be neglected. It is in this spirit that we are going to implement a new national living wage for our industrious workers this new year. It is not only good economics to do this, it is also a morally and politically correct thing to do.
I took an oath to serve this country and give my best at all times. Like I said in the past, no excuse for poor performance from any of my appointees will be good enough.
It is the reason I put in place a Policy Coordination, Evaluation, Monitoring and Delivery Unit in the Presidency to make sure that governance output improves the living condition of our people.
We have set the parameters for evaluation. Within the first quarter of this new year, Ministers and Heads of Agencies with a future in this administration that I lead will continue to show themselves.
Fellow Nigerians, my major ambition in government as a Senator in the aborted Third Republic, as Governor of Lagos State for eight years and now as the President of this blessed country is to build a fair and equitable society and close the widening inequality. While I believe the rich should enjoy their legitimately-earned wealth, our minimum bargain must be that, any Nigerian that works hard and diligent enough will have a chance to get ahead in life. I must add that because God didn’t create us with equal talents and strengths, I can not guarantee that we will have equal outcomes when we work hard. But my government, in this new year 2024 and beyond, will work to give every Nigerian equal opportunity to strive and to thrive.
For the new year to yield all its good benefits to us as individuals and collectively as a people we must be prepared to play our part. The job of building a prosperous nation is not the job of the President, Governors, Ministers, Lawmakers and government officials alone. Our destinies are connected as members of this household of Nigeria. Our language, creed, ethnicity and religious beliefs even when they are not same should never make us work at cross purposes.
In this new year, let us resolve that as joint-heirs to the Nigerian Commonwealth, we will work for the peace, progress and stability of our country. I extend this call to my political opponents in the last election. Election is over. It’s time for all of us to work together for the sake of our country.
We must let the light each of us carries – men and women, young and old – shine bright and brighter to illuminate our path to a glorious dawn.
I wish all of us a happy and prosperous year 2024.
May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR

That's why people try to stop fight/burning fire.. you never can tell.. to avoid story that touch you just try your best to reduce the impact and carefully leave afterwards without taking sides. grin

adaperry25:
We've actually done our best and the way its going..we are left to our fate. I just wanted to share here to get an ideal opinion.

My younger bro has been a thorn in our flesh even before my dad died. My late dad kept complaining about him. Bad friends, taking drugs and living an immoral life. This continued and affected his academics and he dropped out from the university.

As we speak, his younger brother is in his final year and yet my brother remains a prodigal son. Early this year, he wanted to fight my mom and I was very angry and we had to lock him up in the police cell for some days. He came out and became calm. After a month, he went back to his old ways.

We warned off his friends to stay away from him. Right now..my mom is ashamed of him as parents have warned their kids to stay away from my brother.

He doesn't sleep in the house and we threatened to lock him up again and he said we can kill him that his life has no meaning.

I believe he's not with his right senses.

Need your candid opinions. I want to save him.

He simply need more help.
Try to give him more space, understand, caring and support... He's going through some unspeakable trauma. Only those stated pills above can truly cure him. Everything is not solve been harsh to young people trying to navigate this ever changing world.

The other day he gave a vital hint for the government to encourage and empower made in the Nigeria products. He gave the example of mobile phone users to move from MTN to Glo platform to empower indigenous enterprises. The profit MTN makes goes to South Africa and other MTN subsidiaries in other countries, but most Glo business profits stay in Nigeria for more investment and empowerments. See sense with Reno.

Pierocash:
This guy called Reno is doing over busy body in matters that are clearly known , but lacks logic in most of his articles because he writes to please some people


The issue here is not about translations of names. Isa is Arabic recognized by Islam , not Christ or Jesus Christ. You dare not mention Jesus Christ in any mosque in Sokoto or any northern part of Nigeria mosque even though Isa is mentioned in Quran. You will get killed instantly if you dare it. You dare not mention Jesus Christ even in Muslim gathering in the north, not to talk of inscribing "Mary the mother of Jesus Christ" on the roof top of any mosque in the north and watch what happens.

Even though the name Isa is same as Jesus Christ, northern Muslims don't see it that way. If Reno wants to test this assertion, let him go to any northern part of Nigeria and go shout Jesus Christ , or Mary the mother of Jesus in Muslim gathering or mosque and let's check something. Oponu

Who will kill you?? Just your opinion. If you read the English language translation version of the Quran, Jesus is mentioned as ISSA, Allah is mentioned as God. So, if you meet Hausa person speaking English, he/she will mention same as Jesus and God in English. So, Northerners will kill him/her at the mentioned of Jesus? Try have knowledge and not your myopic opinion.
