One thing people need to know is that Nigeria is never going be better on on day or even 10 years, rather, it takes conscious and intentional efforts to steadily move the country forward, sector by section. While I'm not a mouthpiece of this government, it is important to state that this Nationwide Criminal Record Screening is akin to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) in the UK. The DBS check reveals the criminal records, including cautions and convictions of those who teach your children at school. This helps to reduce cases of teacher vs students relationships and better protect your vulnerable children against child predators.
You may not lie the people in government but at least, understand the ideas behind political policies before making uninformed statements.
With an active DBS escue policy on place, all the reckless and predatory corpers sleeping with minors in places of deployment would have a serious rethink about their actions. Enough said for now...

Earthquakes:
Country seems to be irredeemable
We are more loyal to politicians than Nigeria.

A country with no collective dream, no general purpose. Just exiting without plan.

How does this comment of yours relate to the topic?

GOFRONT:
Hmmm..........What a sweet gesture from the Sensible first wife.........Peace will REIGN!!


If it were to be in Nigeria, It would be a Tug of war............Annie Idibia will rather create a scene instead of accept her fate, embrace peace and accomodate Natasha Osawaru as her Co-wife.

How about Regina Daniel who would run to her Insta page and quickly delete all of Ned's pictures cos she is now feeling bitter just cos Nwoko brought in another beautiful Angel.

I have never seen a more sensible and matured Firstwife like this woman here.........Nigerian women should take a cue from Ghanians

Bro, women like that, run far away from them because they'd kill you faster than a bullet.
No woman, I mean, present day woman would allow her husband near another lady, let alone marry her. Anytime a woman praises you even when you're sure you don't deserve it, brother, look your front and back, danger may be lurking.

Is this a proof that Yoruba adage might be wrong sometimes or these ones here are just defying nature?

The adage has never been wrong for me. Matter of fact, my parents would beat me and my brother silly anytime we did stupid things and hereafter remind us of the adage.
They'll let you understand say even senior brother nor get sense, junior brother no suppose mumu too. As for these guys, can't say much about their cultural values.

The Yorubas have a saying, 'Omo iyameji eeii rewele'. Meaning that, 2 siblings can't be unfortunate at the same time.

ruggedtimi:
you are not smart enough....Your reasoning here is suprising.

If you disagree with his comment, you only have one thing to do. Provide a more factual and intuitive information to prove him wrong. You guys need to stop throwing insults and tantrums when the narrative doesn't favour your bias leaning. You all need to understand that an informative conversation allows for intelligent criticism.

El-Rufai, Aregbsola and others, all former political allies of Tinubu coming together to form a 3rd force party is nothing but a ruse, just as Obi was indirectly used to systematically destroy the chances of the Atiku. It is a strategy to deplete the votes of other parties. If you cheer or believe this news, you haven't really learned anything about the Nigerian political gimmicks.

DaddyCoool:
There are many people that'd be there long before any mention of Enahoro. What exactly did Enahoro rebel?

Maybe I overestimated Pa Enahoro. I'll like for you to mention the names of people who should've been there before his name.

DaddyCoool:
How about Adaka Boro, Nzeogwu and his other coupists, Murtala, and what is Enahoro doing there?

You question Pa Anthony Enahoro's name on the list.
The FG really need to bring back History into our curriculum immediately.

PrinceOfLagos:
Always forcing their yoruba on everyone

They tried it with Kemi badenock but she pursue Dem comot like thief

Attachee by force people

"If only you guys had anything (history) to force on anyone"

pandax:
He took Anambra from 26th In Education to number 1 within 4 in years!
He made Anambra the most interconnected state in NIgeria within 6 years
He brought sanity to election in Anambra and we have been electing Professional since then, and soaring.
He made us understand that Anambra is relatively a rich state by allowing the money to work for the people
He brought sanity to the security situation in Anambra then
He saved $285m for Anambra during his handover, a record never seen till date

Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!

mokwechineme:
I understood persons like Kenneth Okonkwo and to a larger extent Sowore. In a leadership lawlessness in Nigeria you can never get near to winning the highest political office in Nigeria if you continue to whine, and always preach and seek peace. In such trajectory, even if you accidentally find yourself in such position, you may turn out worst in performance because those above the laws of the land will never relinquish their control in their numerous interests within and beyond the country.
If you are afraid to go to prison and in effect, you are threading most carefully, you are simply not a true leader.

A true leader in a clime as Nigeria stands firm in his convictions and speaks the naked truth, make bold statements just like few great persons in this damned country have done and continued to do. They are detribalized. They are aware of the repercussions or persecutions that come with such stance and agitations but can't run away from such divine obligations and responsibilities. Most of these persons are financially sufficient but for the love of justice for all, they chose to damn the consequences in the pursuit of social justice and equality.

Few of the persons that have stood and stand firm and tall are (were) - Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu, Dele Farotimi, Fela Kuti, Adeyanju and very few others. They are the real Nigerians which most of us are not. Nigeria is beyond redemption because the biggest problem are Nigerians themselves that have been blinded by acute ignorance, illiteracy planted, fertilized and sustained by the criminals in the Nigerian leadership...

If there is ever gonna be change, Nigerians must support persons like Sowore, Dele Farotimi who can't have a leadership without total turnaround and revamp of the system. Without getting the past leaders to account, Nigeria is never gonna move forward.

I'm surprised that Simon Ekpa, the content creator is not on your list because most of the names mentioned are guys who tickled your IPOB fantasies. So, I'm wondering why on earth you left out the Plime Minister's name.

epainos:
Now I know that Obi is a foolish man.

Dele organised a press conference on this matter, and he said he is ready to meet Afe Babalola in court, and this useless man is making Afe Babalola feel like a god. Obi is useless. Dele said he is ready to meet him in court. And if the court fails him, he is ready to go to prison. Has Dele ever told anyone he is not ready to enter Nigerian prison? It is like saying Fela Kuti should beg.

Obi should mind his business.

This is about the judiciary. Let us see the end of this matter. If Dele is right, may Afe Babaloa spend the remaining part of his life in disgrace. And if Dele defamed him, let him dance the music he has played.

Obi is one of the evil Nigerians that will not allow the system work. Let the system work. Let the drama play itself for goodness sake.

By the way, Dele is ready to go to prison. Also, Dele is not poor and he has the means to run away, but he has chosen to stay behind. He said a lot of things about Tinubu himself. And he didn't run away. If he has anything on Obi, he will say it.

This is our judiciary vs defamation. Let us know the real truth. Even if Dele goes to the prison cos of bad system, we will still see evidences. Afe Babalola is not a god. He should be disgraced if he is one of those useless SANs that bastarsized our system.

We all know that strong people bastardized it. So, if God is going to start with Afe Babalola, let it happen. And if he is innocent, let Dele pay for it.

So, Obi should stop this nonsense.

May God bless you abundantly for this wonderful submission. Nigerians want a good country but will always support cutting corners. When corruption favours them, they call it grace but when it doesn't, they begin to lament. The same Nigerians are vocal about rising prices of commodities and the poor value of the Naira against the Dollars, yet, they're the ones buying and hoarding forex for speculative reasons. We never ready for the country to develop cos if we ready, then we go know say all hands must be on deck.

ogaemma:
Prove your fact.
Which biggest military alliance is doing everything possible to avoid an all-out with Russia?
Everyone one in the global military space knows that Russia is banking on past glory.
I get am before no be property.

What they are avoiding is the global humanitarian crisis such fight may cause.
The current powers behind Russia are all bunch of toothless bulldog.

What they are avoiding is the global humanitarian crisis such fight may cause.
The current powers behind Russia are all bunch of toothless bulldog.
That comment right there is the answer to the question you asked. By the way, can you give the name of the countries you referred to as trying to avoid global humanitarian crisis? Would such countries be hesitant if they knew they could just rollover Russia?
Bro, stop playing mehn. There's more to these things than you know.

ogaemma:
Very correct.
Russia is overrated.
Iran is also overrated.
Assad over reliance to Russia just exposed a lot of things.
Russia is still been rated with their long lost glory of the Soviet Union Era.
It is a an example of One day when the chips are down, you will know who your true friends are.

Russia is weak, overrated, yen, yen, yen.
Yet, the world's biggest military alliance is doing everything possible to avoid an all-out confrontation with. Una go just sit down for one beer parlour dey write wetin come una head.

Zonefree:
Oga, we have several IVF clinics in Nigeria. Come back home, your uncle is the President.

Well said. At least, the family may get to come back in peace and start all over again and yes, his uncle is the president. But your uncles and relatives out there are not coming home anytime soon as many of them are in various prisons around the world and unfortunately for them, their uncle, Obi, is not the president.

OlujobaSamuel:
He even said many supermarket does same, I wonder the many he has seen

Yeah, I mean, he's absolutely correct about that but to technically switch the conversation to blaming the government is mind blowing. Glorying cruel and inhuman act as hustling, beats my imagination how they comfortably live with that.

Trueigbo:
The man forgot to change the expiration date. Many supermarkets do that. They have machines for changing dates on products.

The problem is we don’t have a system of tracking products in Nigeria. Imagine a country that depends on phone calls to know how many crude oil produced in a day

Its so amazing how you easily switched the focus from the guy's actions and the potential dangers to how deficient the country is, nice job.

SmartPolician:
Dele says he has facts aka proof! Why was he then arrested and thrown behind bars? How can he even depend on the judiciary he calls corrupt to save him?

The biggest protest in Nigeria was against police brutality. The next one will be against the judiciary.

Those who don't want peaceful revolution are making violent revolution inevitable.

Peter Obi and other LP members should get involved in this matter. Rich men should stop oppressing people in this country.

2 private citizens are involved in legal battles, you needlessly want to drag Obi into the situation. Of what purpose is he going to be in the legal matter?

Frigga13:
God grant the Yoruba administration of Tinubu the wisdom to keep being foolish and stupid and the energy for his Yoruba tribe to keep abusing cursing and insulting every contrary opinion to theirs..

Amen..

Already said enough on Arewa .. I only want the Igbos to wake to reality of Obi in today Nigeria politics.

And also align political to take away this curse of an administration of the neck of Nigerians

The yoke is much and the pain is so severe…

Nigerians are crying .. pride must be humbled for the country to survive ..

Arewa is ready
Northwest is ready
North central has already aligned
South and East…

What’s happening?

The bill favors no one … no state .. but Lagos ..

And it’s all in Tinubu’s interest to lord Nigeria as he lords Yoruba people

The propaganda of North this and that is false ans a deep misrepresentation..
Which many Igbos and southerners has bought

Now for those east and south reading this ..

What’s is the interest of your states .. your local government or yourself on this bill..

Aside that they told you beer money will not go to Arewa and all gibberish..

But no one is telling you.. that Lagos will be made a center .. that who controls Lagos will be controlling even your local government chairman and you counselor.. your kings and all

They chanted southern unity and southern President

Yet 85% of this government are all Yoruba people.

The north are 1 million times political smarter than the south and they see it all ..

Wake up !

Other than the population, of what economic benefit has the North ever been to the country?

MadPolitician:
Not for savings account.
Petty traders use such accounts to start off life.
Tell Tinubu to back off.

Every single policy since he came in has been to add more impediments on the paths of struggling traders. And that is starting to look like its deliberate. There are no set of people that have witnessed more attacks under this regime, than the traders.

The dollar madness has basically crippled their abilities to source for foreign goods that can not be produced here. Many of them basically don't import anything anymore. Then you add the fuel subsidy removal, which has increased the cost of transporting goods from one location to the other. Check the cost of transporting a 40ft container from Lagos to Aba today. Compare it with what we had under Jonathan.

He should back off ahbegi.
He's squeezing the life out of hardworking traders. At this rate, it's starting to look like he wants all of them to become agberos.

Bro, stop capping nonsense. Using tax ID for account opening is a state policy and not federal. If you've got any issue with that, face your state governor and stop displaying ignorance publicly.

Benbellamor:
Governor Zulum of Borno is Not happy please, he said that They wont be able to pay salaries.....They are not Generating yet they keep employing......

Don't mind that one. Can't believe our governors see public service as a poverty alleviation scheme. What's the purpose of paying salaries if the employees are not productive? That shows you how empty the brains of many Nigerian politicians are. Sit back and wait for allocation to be shared at the end of every month.

Thewrath:
Some lunatics think the bill will make SE poorer,these people still don’t understand how the average igbo man thinks..igbos careless whatever the bill entails,Being at the receiving end is not new to igbos!

Igbos have nothing to gain in Nigeria,rather,they have everything to loose in Nigeria.

They should also reform the oil and gas bill to allow states to generate and manage their resources…if ite’s not working let’s go out separate ways!

Stop making yourself the center of attraction, no one sees you. Nobody ever mentioned that the tax bill is about the Igbos. Rather, the Northerners are the ones claiming victims. Why do you guys have to think everything's about you?

Story...


I don't want to sound like a pessimist. But I give that refinery 1 year max before it goes back to redundancy.

Much ado about something that would not last!

You don't want to sound a pessimist yet, you're pessimistic about the news, already preparing a timeline for your pessimistic agenda. Come on, do your bad belle with full chest and quit being half smart.

IGBOPROMISE1:
But you blame others for what they’re not responsible for! Who told you the vermin that attacked INNOSON coy were Igbo!? Do you have conclusive proof of their ethnic identity before rushing to blame Ndigbo!? And when you answer, tell us your own ethnicity/region!

I'm not about to engage in a tribal brawl with you. All I'll say is, call a spade a spade and put your house in order. If you wanna continue to play the ostrich game, be my guest.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Try taking responsibility for yours!

I don't blame others for my irresponsibility.
