gidgiddy: Even the 1960 constitution was not agreed to on Nigerian soil, it was agreed to by Nigerian delegates in London OH yes, but the constitution had representatives from across the country who sat, discussed and agreed on the rules and regulation through which they wanted to be governed. It's by far better than the agreement reached by two contrasting individuals without consultation from people of other ethnicities across the country. Aburi ko, saburi ni. |

The resolution is good enough and if FUBARA is still delaying fulfilling a part from his end, then I guess he might be listening to the words of some bad advisers and the end may be calamitous to him. Let's see how this end up though ozoneboy: Dad'ys boy wike has run to his Daddy Tinubu,because of a fight between him and his boy. Tommorow he will be claiming hard Man,hard Man wey no fit fight him fight,go ahead, continue running to ur papa to save u in all your fight.
Weakling claiming strong man WRONG! Wike was systematically fighting his fight alone and silently but the little boy was feeling the heat so visibly so that his noise of “I NO GO GREE FOR ANYBODY” attracts sympathy from everybody else in RIVERS who called the so called DADDY, Mr President, to calm the tension WIKE, the termed BULLY, had caused. SO as you can see, na the supporters of the boy boy cry to the daddy for help. |

Bliss4Lyfe: Tinubu the tribal bigot is sending CBN to Lagos in what sense?
That Lagos is the Deputy FCT or what?
A place Tinubu have turned into a tribal enclave.
All banks should move their headquarters to Abuja. Hhmmmm, the greatest economist of our time. Your suggestion is unique. So you would take a banking sector away from the commercial centre and expect excellent service to all the major customers domiciled therein and good turn over. Some certain banks are hq'ed in ABUJA, you should compare their market penetration to their counterparts down south. Sometimes hate don't let someone think better. Bliss4Lyfe: Lagos is a big fat nothing.
It is now a tribal enclave.
All head Office that are still their are just waiting to start paying heavy fines. Ain't here to trade insults but that submission of yours is bound to turn the sector into a calamitous fall or underperformance. That truth may be bitter though. |

He might've managed the situation poorly but he might've been pushed to the wall too to have reacted the way he did. Too bad the nation's pride was the price we had to pay for all this unprofessionalism. Too bad. |

The reporter is reporting what should have been a negative story as a record breaking positive story. It is great that they went over the N3 trillion mark, but we cant find solutions when we are not acknowledging the problems Cut the media some slacks, bud. That you fall short of your proposed benchmark is not synonymous to FAILURE (especially when the achieved position is close to the target)and if you're objective about your analysis, you'd have known that a growth was experienced despite. |
