How about senators from the South East? Or na only SW get senators and representatives under Buhari.......

U r still a child, when u see helinues u follow am rub minds...

helinues:
It's the effrontery from Elrufai regarding security issue that I am always curious about.

Meanwhile, all those who condemned Elrufai when he was Kaduna state governor due to security issue most especially in Southern Kaduna have now seen him as their new hero as Elrufai is in opposition with them.

If you listen to those people, my friend, you will be misled to canal

Just like those who condemned Wike while he was blasting their 'Messiah n lord and personal saviour, AKA Buhari are now seeing him as their Master and new hero cause he is helping the president in crime destroy every opposition.

badoh:
Why did this Ningi keep mute when Buhari was in power and did not raise alarm that Nigeria might have been short-changed due to inferior equipment? They always flex their muscles when a northerner is not in power and you'll think they love the masses by raising points of order, nonsense.

When buhari was in power n misbehaving, why didn't Tinubu, remi Tinubu, south western senators talk?


Who been gag them from talking?
If senator ningi is talking, he has the right to speak, he isnt a coward like those from the south west that were praising Buhari's 8 locust years but turn around to destroy him when he left power.

Flangelo12:
He is not the masses.

He speaks for the masses

There was a thread here on Nairaland in which people were complaining about the decrease in cost of food.

There is athread here which Senate President complain of high cost of food...

1. Don't show him you don't respect yourself.

2, don't allow egungun interview him.

Reference:
My brother, what do you want me to say.
Your President went to Brazil, (a country that was a major importer of our crude oil a long while ago. But today has a vastly bigger oil sector than Nigeria's) and said that corruption has ended...

And some were hailing and fighting their fellow citizens that doubted.

How can a country this divided in opinion about how it is governed make any progress on this matter.

Is it me that will collect the billions of dollars back, wasted on those things or what....

Who should we cry to brother?

Reference:
Hahaha.... 'temporary festive period' indeed.
Now the celebrations are over the 'institution' called Dangote has spoken.

Now where are the regulators to 'resist' this. To prevent Dangote from 'sabotaging' the economy.

Clowns everywhere.

Should we blame dangote or Fed. Govt under APC that has spent more than 30billion dollars to either revamp, turn around maintenance or facility overhaul yet no results.

Till date no person or people have been invited for questioning over the failed port Harcourt n warri refineries revamping.

ayoolataiwo:
The oil cabals are fighting with teeth and claws to frustrate and undermine private refinery especially Dangote Oil,those kind of people are the worst things to have happened to this country.A few sets of MF holding a key sector of the economy to ransom.Without a strict and tough decisions by the Government,,private investors will always find it very unlikely to risk their investment in the sector

Court orders 48 persons to report to SSS over fraud charges




https://nairametrics.com/2026/01/25/court-orders-48-persons-to-report-to-sss-over-fraud-charges/

This kind publication, u fit see ur face but u no see ur name...

Imagine if there were ground troops to finish off trump 24th december gift to the jihadists...
The useless Nigeria military allowed those ragtag bandits to move from sokoto to other states ...

Now state govts r giving amnesty and releasing bandits held by security forces in one useless peace deal...

Don27tiky:
Our celebrities often deny the claim of Christian genocide. He is getting first hand information. Let me see those yeyebrities that will deny it tomorrow

Tomorrow dem go say na ngozika from abia instigated trump to bomb sokoto...


Like these people try every possible means to dissociate themselves from incompetency.

richiemcgold:
If I were inside the court, me sef go laugh out loud.
Has Tinubu not fought corruption to a standstill?
Shebi there's no corruption again in Nigeria?

Na bribery dey Nigeria now, no be corruption....

Tinubu don defeat corruption...

Manny21:
"National grid" will continue to collapse until you do something about "National greed."

Tinubu came in and celebrated signing of new electricity bill which gives states right to generate, distribute and transmit power...
Na so e end for there, no proper procedures of dismantling the status quo the system is used to.
The federal govt should have mapped out frame work on how to dismantle the TCN, give states who dont have power plants time frame to build one, or partner with nearby states to achieve this...

But he just signed the electric bill n went to sleep.

Just like they privatized discos n gencos, the TCN needs to go

SpaceX:
Since yesterday why are they just telling us.

Na today e happen, the way dem take the light here for our street in Calabar wasn't usual..

Since we r in period of fasting n prayers, let add it to our prayer points...

Savedday2:
You see why I say that SIM is a very weak governor?

Imagine, is during Wike administration the 26 law maker collected these moneys without execution and try to impeach Wike!

I just can't wait for Wike to disgrace that weak governor out of that place.

The annoying part is that, the "Madam" of a governor is hoping on Tinubu to save his ass. But what he doesn't know is that this time around, Tinubu hands is thighed.

Una dey quick to call person weak, meanwhile u don't even know how things work in a proper democratic settings..
When the first impeachment happened, the state assembly was set on fire, but i know that was the handiwork of those in support of the govr.. still u guys criticized fubara for stooping so low to burn down the state assembly...
Tomorrow if one of the law breakers dies, na still una go call out fubara for going over board...

How una want make the govr do?
Lemme put u into this thing, from the ward level to the state level, na wike men dey on position...
The entire state assembly, na wike buy form give them, the entire senate n reps, na wike sponsor and chose those he wanted....

The state apc chairman n pdp chairman na wike boys...

Fubara can't win this fight in Rivers state with rivers people, na for national go help am win this fight...

Dont forget 4 State house of assembly guys loyal to fubara no dey again, now na 26 house members dey run the show.

We have leaders and politicians who think about themselves first and about the next election...

Nothing about the next generation or the future of the country...

Na people wey dey collect am i blame...

Beat the delivery man, next time the sender go sit up

SmartPolician:
Employment form where exactly?

You people must think that creating jobs is easy

Creating jobs is easy bro...
Those 10m, 20m, and so on given to party leaders and their cronies can be used to create meaningful employment to people...
Nigeria is dirty like extremely dirty... U can't drive 2km without seeing dirts...
Those billions wasted on nothing could be channel to something meaningful at the long run we will see the benefit.

No be saudi invest more than 300billion.dollars in sports for 10yrs, do you know what that country stand to benefit in the long run?

Sport sector alone can indirectly solve unemployment issues in Nigeria.

Tennis, both table n lawn, football, track, etc... organise mini competitions, every quarter, let youths be engage, before u know people will start investing in these sports ..

b0rn2fuck:
Government can stop this non sense , just like it almost stopped doing the emiefele cashless policy,just that emiefele get his own for body, this things can be reduced if our government are serious

Exactly, during that cashless period we hardly hear of bandits and kidnappers...
Cause where dem wan carry cash give u....

Tinubu came in, instead of continuing that policy and strengthening it, he went berserk, now we have 2 different currencies being used in the country.

CBN Recapitalisation Is Here. 21 Banks Have Passed. The Rest Are on the Clock.

If you still think Nigeria’s banking recapitalisation is a joke, this update should wake you up.

As of January 2026, 21 banks have successfully met the new capital requirements set by the Central Bank of Nigeria. No rumours. No projections. Actual money raised.

For context, CBN raised the minimum capital like this:
International banks need ₦500 billion
National banks need ₦200 billion
Regional banks need ₦50 billion
Non interest banks need between ₦10 billion and ₦20 billion

Deadline is March 31, 2026. Less than three months away.

This exercise started in 2024 and it is already reshaping the entire banking sector. Rights issues. Private placements. Mergers. Balance sheet surgery. Anyone sleeping will not survive.

Let us break it down clearly.

International Banks That Have Crossed ₦500bn

Access Bank
Zenith Bank
First HoldCo First Bank
GTCO
UBA
Fidelity Bank

Access and Zenith did not just meet the requirement. They overshot it comfortably. That alone tells you who came prepared and who did not.

National Banks That Have Crossed ₦200bn

Wema Bank
Citibank Nigeria
Standard Chartered Nigeria
Ecobank Nigeria
Globus Bank
Stanbic IBTC
PremiumTrust Bank
Providus Bank through merger with Unity Bank

PremiumTrust deserves special mention. Just three years old and already hitting ₦200bn. That is aggressive banking.

Merchant and Non Interest Banks Not Left Out

FSDH Merchant Bank
Greenwich Merchant Bank
Nova Bank
Rand Merchant Bank

Jaiz Bank
Lotus Bank
TAJBank

Now here is the part many people are ignoring.

This recapitalisation is not about impressing CBN. It is about survival.

We saw this movie in 2004 under Soludo. Banks reduced from 89 to 25. Weak players disappeared. Strong ones became giants. History is repeating itself, just bigger and tougher.

What does this mean for everyday Nigerians?

Fewer but stronger banks
Better shock resistance
More capacity to fund big projects
Less excuses during economic stress

But also
Banks that fail to raise capital will be forced to merge or shut down
Some familiar names may disappear
Jobs will be affected
Shareholders who did not pay attention will cry later

This is not politics. This is finance. Money talks. Capital decides who stays.

If your bank has not clearly announced how it plans to meet the requirement, start asking questions now, not in April.

CBN has drawn the line.
21 banks have crossed it.
The rest are racing against time.

Nigeria’s banking sector is entering a new era. Stronger. Leaner. Less forgiving.

Sit tight. The next three months will be very interesting.

Stanbic use this January complete their own.

That means your prayer still remains because Calvin bassey will be absent during Nigeria vs Egypt match

Nff suppose to protest that card to caf, they should look into it once again...
That wasnt a card offence, na the morrocan player even fouled him first...

Even that card they gave ndidi during Algeria game, NFF suppose to have protest it to... Ndidi was foul, why give him card for time wasting?

As ndidi no dey that moroccan game, iwobi was doing the work alone, onyedikachi was not visible at all, onyeka tried but ndidi was missing... They deliberately gave that card to him to destroy our midfield.

Una still dey here when better ball dey the other side?

Which better ball?

BondRiv:
Agreement is agreement. This is politics. Go and become a pastor, if the heat is too much for you. Always looking for sympathy and making excuses for Fubara. Beg beg people. Always on their knees. Fubara went to France to beg, later he won't obey the agreement. He and his deputy should resign with apology.

Can u tell us this agreement what it is about?

Atleast the HOA has listed fubara's sins, can wike or you since it's like u r privy to the agreement list it out so Nigerians will know.

No be to shout agreement is agreement when nobody knows wetin be the agreement.

FaAbData:
You sound like it's an easy thing to do.

Interesting days ahead

It is called Distraction...

Atleast they will begin dey find wetin dey their back

How much was a bag of cement in your time #900 or #1000. But today it is #10k . Inflation also affects government contracts and purchases.
So that reasoning is not appropriate. Just say you are ashamed and only admitting that his few months in office have dwarfed your whole 8 years, in terms of completed projects

U sabi wetin be 1000?
Bag of cement was 150 if not 80naira then or less

And I'm being proven right with this plenty talks...

For goodness sake u were over speeding n u overtake on a wrong lane, before you could realise it, truck deh ur front, u jam am.

Putinofrussia:
lol
Even when the govs are testifying that they have never gotten the kind of money they are being given now as FAAC and a lot of them are executing projects left and right without borrowing.
Propaganda has blurred your reasoning indeed.

Do u know what is propaganda..


If u did, nu won't use it in this context.

Actually na propaganda that's working on u instead.

lailo:
They will come to your house and explain to u how the money is used. Be like say u no get eye dey see development.
1. the improved funding that your governors are collecting from Abuja, where is it coming from?
2. NELFUND where is the money coming from?
3. Various federal roads projects receiving attention throughout the country, where is the fund coming from
4. Payments of debts to oil marketers, offset of pensions, where is the money coming from
5. Raising of minimum wage from 30k to 70k, where is the money coming from
6. Various infrastructure going on around the country, na from your account thr money dey come?
7. To prosecute security for a nation, na chicken change? where thr money dey come from?
Mumu people with mumu questions

That ur no1 is flawed, the only reason govrs r moving to APC is cause pdp at the moment has been destroyed by tinubu in collabo with wike.
At present, the allocation states r getting from FG is even worthless compare to what the previous govt were getting from the federation account.
With the current exchange rate, increased prices of almost every things from construction equipments, to fuel and even Minimum wage, if u sum all these, you will know the increase allocation is scam.
