He is the c & c he can do anything he want with the army without questioning
Why do you want your CinC to do anything he wants except his main job of protecting lives and properties in Nigeria huh


Richtaiwo:
The C-in-C has the prerogative
The prerogative of negotiating with kidnappers to release a few girls while they keep the rest in captive? Something that APC data boys applauded in their usual smartness huh

‘Tactical Ransom or Negotiation?’ Nigerians Question Tinubu, FG as Kebbi, Kwara Terrorists Go Scot-Free

Since the Nigerian government confirmed that the abducted 38 worshippers in Kwara State and the 24 Kebbi schoolgirls had been freed, many Nigerians have been awaiting updates about the arrest or killing of their abductors.

The silence of the federal and state governments on consequences for the perpetrators has led many to believe that the government likely negotiated with the terrorists and paid ransom to have the abductees released.

FIJ called the spokespersons of the Nigerian Army (NA) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Wednesday morning, but neither provided answers to questions about the abductors.

Shortly after Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris and Bello Matawalle, Minister of Defence, announced on Tuesday that the 24 students had been freed, the terrorists who abducted the girls released a video, saying the government negotiated with them for the girls’ release.

The promotion of Brigadier General Yusuf is justified to ensure parity among the security details.

At least they have done something that Jonathan failed to do by removing subsidy and reviving two NNP refineries that have been exporting fuel since last year.

Let us keep renewing our hope that he will crash petrol price as promised unlike Buhari who failed to deliver on APC promises.

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

Buhari’ll reduce petrol to N40/L —David-West

FORMER Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof. Tamunoemi David-West, said that Nigerians should expect sharp drop in petrol price from the current N87 to about N40 per litre, saying, “the president-elect, Gen. Mohammed Buhari, will reduce the fuel pump price to N40 per litre.”

Racoon:
There is the war college course he needs to attend before promotion to a brigadier which he has not done. Don't be defending illegality with uttermost ignorance.
And the war course will take him 5years to get to the position of Brigadier General. Besides, this guy was just promoted December 2024, barely a year ago from a Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel and now to Brigadier General. Everything about Tinubu is always manipulative and criminal.
Same thing he did to IGP Egbetokun that is still causing uproar till now. He extended the tenure of a retiring officer. Picked Lagbaja who had a lot of bosses ahead of him and mandated his seniors to retire, which they refused to retire at that time.
Tinubu did not go to school! No graduate even of a Nigerian University will behave in such criminal manner.
Everything about him is shady, covered up, shrouded, secret. No valid graduate certificate or result, no clear state of origin, no clear DoB, no declaration of assets till now (the only President so far not to declare his assets and his is preparing for 2nd term).
This guy will Bleep Nigeria up big time!

There are consequences to every decision; foreseen and unforeseen. Congratulations to those promoted but the complaints are valid.

Tinubu is the C-in-C, he has the privilege to promote any officer ahead of time, even if the officer did not satisfy all conditions necessary for that promotion. The office that has the power to sack the chief of army staff and hire another one, is it to promote officer he can't?
Oga there are procedures, you cannot bypass it anyhow even if you are the CinC

How old was Gowon when he became a General?? He was in service for just 12 years and became a full General
That was a coup situation. These are different scenarios bros. Even by 1956 Ironsi was a Major but 8 years later he was a Major general, simply because with independence most of the british senior officer had to be replaced with Nigerians and as such there was rapid promotions for middle level Nigerian officers. People like Maimalari, Ademulegun and Ironsi all had accelerated promotion. Gowon's case was following the Jan 66 coup where senior northern military officers were taken out, after the July coup he was practically the most senior northern military officer and the coupists wanted only a northerner, that was how Gowon came to be and his promotion was accelerated from Lt Col to Major General.

People close to power always rise in ranks as rewards. That's how the likes of IBB, Abacha and Buhari became Generals overnight without professional courses or exams. Gaddafi was once quoted as saying that a General in Nigerian army is equivalent to a Captain in Libyan military.

I not only checked my facts, but I also double checked them before posting for sensible to reflect upon how A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC has been destroying our country with lies since 2015.

saintopus:
The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai.
The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.

The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.

Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.

The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.

The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.

Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.

Are you for real?


The military is built with a standard and it's a pity y'all are desecrating it. Buhari's ADC never enjoyed favouritism, neither did Jonathan's. As a fact the latter just became a Maj Gen this year after how many years Jonathan left office.


I knew the ADC as a Maj some years back. And I still know some of his coursemates on Major. It's a pity y'all will even politicize the military.

Now, going by my little understanding of the military, though anyone should feel free to correct me.

If he became a colonel January of this year (2025).

That means his seniors with 1, 2 or even 3 years at the defense academy will still be at the rank of colonel. Because promotion will definitely take nothing less than 4 years assuming they pass all the exams and criteria’s.

So does that mean they will now pay compliments & take orders from him? Damn! with the way the military likes seniority and respect, this must be very painful to his seniors and course-mates

I will be angry too if i was in their shoes.

Mr President, what happened to changing him and bringing a brigadier general that can match the rank of your other security officers in the Villa if that is your excuse?

Tinubu don fcvk up Lagos since 26 years of increasing tax burden 100 times without improving water supply yet he holds every Lagosian by the balls.

Just as he has succeeded in Lagos, he is not only preparing for a 2nd term, he is also preparing for a 3rd term to be life president like Biya.

He is stealing enough to succeed where Obasanjo failed with his 3rd term Ghana must go bags agenda.

Hi
obi4eze:
Why is everything about Tinubu so shady?

Was Nurudeen Yusuf denied promotion before?

Why is he getting promoted twice within a year? Is Tinubu trying to compensate him for 'something'?
What about Nurudeen's mates in the Army? Did they also get the double promotion within one year?
Nigeria never ready, allowed a chronic criminal as head of state, everything will continue to go wrong
