You know the problem of Nigeria is not in crafting beautiful policies. Our problem is in implementation.

As beautiful as this policy may appear, when its implementation starts, you will be like, "which kain wahala be this?"

Na still same Nigerian mentality. Outsider will not come to implement for us. Engaged the multinational private sector and see implementation easy. But using government ministry, agencies and Parastatal will be worse due to coessive corruption.

Every day a Nigerian didn't speak against Peter Obi, it would seem like they have not brushed their teeth.

I believe during your time with the DSS, you are still thinking of what you going to say against PO upon your release.

Someone who's not yet a president yet all politicians speak of him.

PO is a mystery

PO is in the game like Tinubu, Atiku, sowore, Kwankwaso reason they must reply any nonsense from him or his unintelligent followers. Last i checked, Obidents always attack anyone that says things they know it's reality

Ekpeitut:
The issue is not that Pastor Adeboye expressed an opinion. The issue is that many Nigerians remember a time when he was far more vocal about the failures of previous governments. That is why his recent comments have attracted scrutiny.
You cannot build a reputation for speaking truth to power and then appear to lower the standard when your preferred leader is in office. Consistency is the foundation of moral authority.

When previous administrations struggled with insecurity, corruption, fuel scarcity, or economic hardship, Pastor Adeboye did not hesitate to call for urgent action and national repentance. Today, insecurity has become even more widespread, kidnappings have reached communities once considered safe, millions are battling unprecedented economic hardship, yet his public criticism appears noticeably restrained. Nigerians have every right to ask why.

Saying that the President only needs to give orders ignores the very essence of leadership. A Commander in Chief is not judged by the orders he gives but by the outcomes those orders produce. If insecurity continues to worsen, then leadership must be held accountable. That principle applied under previous governments and it must apply now.

It is ironic that some people who once applauded Adeboye for challenging those in power are now asking Nigerians not to question him. Respect for a pastor does not require silence in the face of apparent double standards. Public figures who comment on national issues should expect their past statements to be measured against their present ones.

Reducing every criticism to "Obidients are attacking him" is also misleading. Many of those questioning Pastor Adeboye are not doing so because of Peter Obi. They are doing so because they expect consistency from someone who has long been regarded as a moral voice in Nigeria.
This is not about tribe. It is not about religion. It is about credibility. If the standards used to judge former presidents are abandoned when the current president is involved, then people are justified in pointing out the inconsistency.

Nobody is above criticism, whether politician or pastor. The same courage required to speak against yesterday's government should exist today. Otherwise, people will inevitably conclude that the message changes depending on who occupies Aso Rock.
That is the real issue. Not ethnicity. Not political affiliation. Consistency.

When a leader is working, the intelligent ones knows and can't be compared with when a govt. Didn't know Thier left from right and running from pillar to post.

The bottom line of insecurity is money.(Ransom). When u choose religion believes over former education, that's what u get Even amnesty can not resolve this.

3rd class no be beans walahi

And sincerely, that guy reason like 3rd class. Very poor reasoning as if he is the only contestant. What does the law says about privacy.

helinues:
This judgement is just like giving them some excuses to make. Peter Obi or NDC is not a threat to president Tinubu's reelection.

The court should have considered the sensitivity of the case

What should happen to all the aspirants contesting under NDC now?

What will happen to aspirants contesting is the effects of bad wagon. Lolz

christejames:
Whenever your CORNfused 🌽 govt goofs around you guys will search for old activities of PO to justify your lousy actions as if there are the same scenarios...



They will always say they are not scared of PO but he is always their benchmark.

Obi is paperweight, all the checkings is for u to know that u are following failure. Obi is just like every other past governors. With no special performance.

Stoo..pid f@@...I


Advanced countries advised their citizens to start frying akara and kuli-kuli, and they finally got to where they are today.

Only Lazy youths will ignore first lady advice. What stopped the youths in being creative and provide services that Many people patronised. No wander those lazy youths Japa to already built advance countries, Only to get there and take up jobs they will condemned in Thier own fatherland because they are graduates.
Mind u, the citizens of the advanced countries never japa when their nation was being built with pains and patriotism.

Most Nigeria youths just wanted to be rich and ride cars overnight. Drop your ego, era of White collar jobs are gone go and be creative.

anonimi:
If everyone is selling akara, as Remi Tinubu advised because her husband failed to create jobs, then who will buy the oversupplied akara?


Did you think about this

She has never said everyone and can never be. The fact is that government can never do all or satisfied all. We need to say the truth, for empowerment of such people, it's a kudos, I do my own in my community in my little way for people.

How many millions will be require to set up boutique or shoe palace or eatery etc,

WhiteIverson:
Mama was talking to those on or under the poverty line

Indirectly, this means the advice is for APC supporters. Finally the government is admitting that those who supported and voted for them are living in perpetual poverty. APC Nairaland branch, please confirm this statement for us.

Aunty Remi shared expensive cars for the women leaders and she has advised the APC female and male supporters to tell their wives, mothers, sisters, aunties to go fry akara and sell puff puff and kuli kuli

Most people underated those business because they have degrees but not knowing that there are a lot of opportunities in those businesses called poverty line business. Most of them have house of Thier own wether Mini flat or 2bed and eating well than a salary earners with 250k, 300k per month raising shoulders.

Irony1:
With this rubbish performance. Tinubu has made is difficult for anyone to trust una.

Says who? I remembered Yar'Adua, GEJ was said to be better than OBJ by some people

VeeVeeMyLuv:
The problem is that the two region now see Nigeria as their property effectively excluding the other region permanently.

No sir, never!. Other regions need to just belong to the right party and present a credible candidate for primary election. with the consultations with party higher rankings officers, it very possible. But to dey claim right, no one will ever be intimidated, after all, we have more than 250 ethnic groups and nationality in Nigeria and all are qualified to be president.

kingbee90:
That statement by a certain con man " I fought against military oppression during the NADECO era" is the biggest lie and scam of this century.

But he did, unfortunately u are not yet born then, u would have understood meaning of Radio kudirat, the strategist behind it and the financier of the movement. That is what is called 'capacity ' to move mountains

DatNiggaDaz:


Not every sane Nigerian allowed tge family of faaake certttifficcate holderrrrrs to snatch and grab

There are so many sane Nigerians who were against APC since 2015 since the dsys of darling daddy.

It is the hatred faaake Nigerians have for our son GEJ and anything SS and SE that made the country Look the other way while allowing beasts to grab the seat of power

GEJ was accidental president, every region has to build bridges and connect with right people to win elections. Nobody will ever dash u power no matter your cry, Don't be surprised the presidency might come from South West again in 2039 when power shift to the south. We need quality leadership that know how to build bridges not entitlements mentality.
By 2039, all the names in political circle will be too old to contest. So if u guys are wise, start the game from now.

Borrow2222:
Every right thinking Nigerian knows that the APC is doing everything possible to prevent you from contesting in the 2027 elections.

Even with all the governors under his control, they are still afraid of PO.

What they don't even realize is that the more they try to disenfranchise you, the more people see that they are all scared of you.

If the APC is confident that they have performed well, according to the propaganda they dish out, why don't they allow a level playing field?

My view is that they should not, in an attempt to retain power, push Nigeria into anarchy.

The country is already tense and charged.

They shouldn't try their luck any further.

APC or FG is not doing Obi, he was the one doing himself. he started a game he can not play in 2023. He went to court that Tinubu didnt go to school, that he forged age, that he didnt secure 25% in Abuja blablabla, looking for technicalities to destroy him, he never proof how he won the said election over Atiku talk less of Tinubu and he failed woefully in court.
now, u are facing same technicalities for not doing your assignment very well by building your own party and him and his sympathizers started crying. obi is completely floating, no party of your own and they helped you with one, u still insist on Obi or nothing in another person's party.
obi journey to Aso rock must be excellency not by wuru-wuru.
i wish him to be on the ballot so that Nigerians can see his defeat clearly, otherwise his followers will still be shouting he would have won if on the ballot.

Parachoko:
INEC might not Respect the judgement.

Only a judgement from the Appeal Court can make INEC delist the ADC

yes, but the latest judgement on NDC case is this one until this is vacated by an appeal

Morizo:
Why exactly should he be investigated? Same judges that wave the terrorists charges away but will prosecute ab activists and you see nothing wrong with that?

In other climes the institutions are not controlled by one man and his party as it is the case in Nigeria

Oga try to always say the truth. Is VDM the only person in the court? Morso, the judge ordered no one should record, so if investigated and found guilty, he should take responsibility his actions.

CDAnewsreporter:
The Senate has outlined a series of safeguards aimed at preventing state governors from abusing state police powers as the Red Chamber passed constitutional amendments to establish decentralised policing across Nigeria.

Senate Leader Senator Opeyemi Bamidele disclosed the measures while leading debate on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Alteration (State Police) Bill, 2026, on Wednesday. The bill was passed following rigorous clause-by-clause consideration and a manual voting process where more than two-thirds of senators voted in support.

It now requires passage by the House of Representatives, presidential assent, and approval by a majority of state Houses of Assembly to become law.

Bamidele said the bill, submitted by President Bola Tinubu, seeks to create a decentralised policing structure while ensuring governors cannot deploy state police for "partisan, ethnic, religious, sectional, or personal purposes."

The federal police will retain responsibility for counter-terrorism, organised crime, cybercrime, border security, and interstate criminal activities, while state police will enforce state laws, maintain public safety, and prevent crimes within their jurisdiction.

Federal intervention in state security matters will only be activated during a breakdown of public order, when a state police service is incapable of functioning, or when national security is under threat — and only after the President authorises it in writing, subject to Senate oversight and judicial review.

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who initially opposed state police, said prevailing security challenges made it necessary. Former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal and Senate Chief Whip Tahir Monguno also backed the proposal.

And you see, with what the government is doing, government of the world is watching

And what will government of the world do, is this how Thier own activists and journalist handle things? He should be investigated is now a bad thing?

givedemwotowoto:
Do what Keir Starmer did Mr anti-Democracy

Starmer didn't have a kind of Tinubu intelligent level to provide solutions for his people reason he resigned. Resignation means he has no ideas of the way forward any more. meanwhile Tinubu is seriously building Nigeria for prosperity. Naturally, Only a person that can build wealth for himself and people around him can build a nation's prosperity.

Tenses:
tinubu nah Wike boy after all.

I can't remember a president wey fear his appointed minister like this tinubu. Not even GEJ Agbadorians like to call weak.

tinubu is the weakest president on the surface of the earth 🌎.

Go and fact check the game, Tinubu gives Wike some and he takes the presidency votes in rivers
See the results, the PDP and APC guys are Wike, if court cancel the PDP guy results as void, the next is APC same caucus. Or the winner may defect to APC due to faction.

westside365:
The Bible says righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to anyone. What Apc party is doing by sharing bread is called manipulation,deception, slavery and evil. What i dont understand, if the party or candidate has good intentions why do they need to buy the votes with Bread or Rice as usual? You can deceive men but you cant deceive God and he watches inside of you. When will all this manipulation end? One day we will leave all these selfish ambitions behind and face eternity. What are your records? What fruits are u producing? Are u producing the fruits of unrighteousness? That is up to u and Apc party. Many are living Godless.

But if your GO shares bread in the church it's not manipulation Abi? You know it's by faith and trust that makes people follows people in whatever they do. Whether politics or religion.

Isobug:
You can't use this election to judge NDC, it's impromptu. The general elections is the proper test of all political parties. You're here mentioning Kwankwaso that join NDC yesterday

If Tinubu is the one that just registered a Party his party will win elections contested because he is massively loved by Nigerians with no noise. That is what we call capacity to move mountains.

westside365:
With the level of the so called literacy una still collect Bread vote.

Yes, collection is normal in life. It changes nothing. Everyone collects something from someone at every time whether directly or indirectly provided it's considered useful at the time material. It maybe from boss or clients.

For the bread u mentioned specifically, are u saying all the people that collected the bread went to vote? Can u established that? It's just for collection sake.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
So Kano people will leave their son Kwankwanso on the ballot and vote for tinubu?

I can see u don't understand voting pattern in politics, go and check, Tinubu helped Kwankwaso in the past in Many ways and they are both governors at same point. Kwankwaso is looking for 2031 strategy and he knows NDC is just by the way to stay in public relevance.

BluntCrazeMan:
Now that the results are already ready,, analysts (like myself) can now begin their own extensive analyses in order to have a good understanding of the processes and procedures of the whole election.

Meanwhile, I wonder why the results were already announced so quickly

How come the whole results from all the parts of Ekiti State - including the remotest parts of Ekiti State - have already reached the final collation center within some few hours??

Check Ekiti results in all previous elections. Ekiti State results is almost always the first to be ready and declared by INEC. They are well educated and know what to do at the right time.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
NDC didn't participate in the elections , so stop deceiving yourself

So why didn't they participated? We know that the people that will vote NDC in Kano are only the Igbo traders and their numbers are as shown in Obi last 2023 results in the entire Kano. This time, it will be lesser because Kwankwaso will shock them before election day.

seunmsg:
That guy once told me Aregbesola will deliver 25% of south west. I even read it somewhere yesterday where Dele Momodu was running his mouth that Atiku will win Osun state.

You see today’s governorship election result in Ekiti, that’s what will he replicated all over the SW, SS and NC in 2027.

The first officially declared presidential election result in 2023 and won by Tinubu was Ekiti State. Once that happens again in 2027, everyone should go and rest.

Foreign observers wey don collect big fat envelope filled with foreign currencies

Nigerians mentality is the reason for backwardness. If it's good on the other side. It's a false narration but if it's bad news, they haven't collected money. Anyway, there is a reason why some people make 'A' and some others 'E' and 'F' in same exams involving critical reasoning.

Tilumbu will get only about 2 million real votes mostly in the SW from people who were paid to come out and vote, but he’ll he bumped up to 10 million. You need at least 12 million votes to win

Hope you are aware that he already had 12M+ from primary, meaning the expectations should not be lesser than 15M to 18M+. NDC will have its votes only from East as usual but lower than that of last election . How can NDC with structure of criminality have 3M this time will be miracle
