Who would have thought that the Almighty Malami, the AGF of Buhari will be humbles this way, some years back when Buhari was still alive, you dare not come close to Malami but today here he is sharing the same cell with MNK's brother chaiiii, what a world. MNK was released by the court and Malami gave the order for himbto be re-arrested. Chaiiii, sorrrrrrrryyyyyyy ooooo

Malami is likely a very big-time criminal than hitherto assumed.

His barefaced lies rather than exonerate him, incriminates him the more.

His claimed salary of over N300m is enough to blind the deaf.

Haba!


Even the devil, the father of lies, would be green with envy of Malami for beating him at his own game.

But the govt is after the poor paying tax
It's a deliberate impoverishment strategy by Tinubu and All Promises Cancelled, APC to perpetuate themselves in Stockholm syndrome stylee.

I guess this is how Tinubu wants to be life president with a 3rd term agenda that Obasanjo failed to achieve, thanks to Atiku marshalling other democratic forces to kill the bill in the NASS despite Ghana must go bags of bribe.

NaijaRoyalty:
…Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money

However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”

Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.

He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.

Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.

Do you think that he is a bigger criminal than Tinubu, or he is a lesser criminal than the Lagos TAX monster planner who has increased revenue and budget 100 times but failed to make ordinary water available to all households?

What do you think he does with the trillions annually apart from stealing huh

Lanrelagboi:
Lagos has now crossed the 3 Trillion Naira annual budget mark. Crossed 2 Trillion in 2024.

Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.

Just like the other big thieves, NOTHING will happen to this one too. Worst case scenario, he will do some "plea bargain" and get a "slap on the wrist". Years down the line, he will use part of his stolen loot (PS: he didn't declare everything!) to either become Nigeria's president or influence the system, while being celebrated and raking awards and titles. I've seen this pattern before undecided

However, the matter could not proceed as it was not listed on the cause list for the day. The case had been handled during the court’s vacation, and the presiding judge, having concluded all vacation matters, returned the case file to the Chief Judge for reassignment


How come they were in court in the first instance if they weren't listed on cause list for the day.
And all these judicial delay tactics

Judges on recess
Judges on vacation
Judge transferred
Judge hasnt had time to review the brief

So how much should the dollar be,considering our level of production.
That’s not the issue.

Do the right things first and see the economy catapult to greater heights.

1. Deal with security completely, ensuring that there’s safety and peace in all parts of the country, just like before.

2. Deal absolutely with corruption in all sectors of the economy, prescribing harsh punishments for corrupt practices. The natural resources sector must be completely cleaned up, ensuring that the country gets its proper income from all the natural resources.

3. Fix the judiciary to ensure speedy and equitable dispensation of Justice.

4. Fix the agricultural sector. Get farmers back to their lands to work. Fix the roads, ensuring that rural roads are better and a new network of rural roads are created to get agricultural products across the country.

5. Get the industries to work. Right under the noses of our horrible leaders many industries pack up. Move from consumption to production. Fix the cotton industry and see Nigerians producing garment again. Fix our iron and Aluminium.

6. Completely fix the power sector, ensuring that electricity no longer would be “rocket science”, borrowing Fashola’s words,

What else do you want to make the economy better to put an end to the forex story?

The Facts President Tinubu’s Critics Won’t Discuss


From the very first day President Tinubu took office, certain groups decided that nothing good could ever come out of his government. Political rivalry, primordial sentiments, deep-seated bitterness, and envy shaped their judgment from the start. There was no patience. No balance. No fairness. Just noise, anger, and daily abuse. For these professional haters of President Tinubu, Nigeria began on May 29. Everything before that date was conveniently erased, and every broken system suddenly became his personal creation.

That is the dishonest game being played, and sadly, many people are buying into it. What they deliberately refuse to mention is the Nigeria we all lived in before now. A Nigeria where suffering was systemic. A country where failure was normalized and recycled as policy, and where citizens succumbed to endure instead of demand.

If you are 50 years old or younger, you know this truth. Fuel scarcity was routine. Fuel queues were part of your childhood and adulthood. People slept at filling stations like displaced persons in their own country. Cars became bedrooms. Productive hours were wasted chasing petrol. When fuel eventually came, it was either hoarded or sold at black market prices that insulted common sense. This went on for decades, yet today, this same set of haters acts as if it never existed.

They will not tell you how fuel importation became a cartel business. How an oil-producing country had no functional refineries (public or private), yet spent billions importing fuel. They will not tell you how subsidy became a criminal enterprise that fed a few while bleeding the nation dry. They will not tell you how scarcity was engineered and recycled because some people made fortunes from it. Instead, they shout “hardship” today, as if hardship is new to Nigerians.

They will also not tell you about education. Endless ASUU strikes were our normal. A five-year course became seven or eight years, not because students failed, but because the system kept collapsing. Lives were paused. Dreams were delayed. Many never returned to complete their university education. Before NELFUND, students dropped out quietly because they could not afford school. Nobody protested for them. Nobody cared. It was just another Nigerian tragedy we accepted and moved on from.

Now, those who were silent then suddenly remember students, but only as a weapon against the current government. They refuse to admit that, for the first time in years, there is a structured attempt to address student funding at scale. Is it perfect? No. But pretending nothing has changed is either ignorance or deliberate dishonesty.

Then there is the economy, which they discuss with selective memory. Naira crunch, forex scarcity, and wild exchange-rate fluctuations did not start under Tinubu. Businesses planned blindly for years. Importers woke up to new rates every morning. Governors cornered subsidised dollars and flipped them for profit. Ordinary Nigerians paid the price. This broken system was managed and defended by the same people who were in government then and are now in opposition shouting the loudest, yet they speak as if the rot began yesterday.

They also refuse to mention the era of the Aso Rock cabal. A small, unelected group that decided national policies behind closed doors—printing currency at will, borrowing to stabilize exchange rate, and manipulating the foreign exchange system. Presidents became symbols while faceless men ran the country. Nigerians complained. Analysts warned. Insiders leaked. Nothing changed. Accountability vanished into private rooms. Today, those who benefited from that arrangement now parade themselves as champions of democracy.

At the state level, the story was even worse. Governors borrowed recklessly, not to build industries or infrastructure, but simply to pay salaries, and even then, many paid half salaries. The national Secretary of the leading opposition party governed his state when the minimum wage was ₦18,000 and was paying half salary. Later, ₦30,000 or ₦35,000 looked good on paper, but several states could not pay it. Workers survived on hope and side hustles. Failure was normalized. The nation laughed because crying had become exhausting. Imagine the level of insult Nigerians endured, and imagine people now pretending that era was better than today.

Let us talk about debt, because this is where hypocrisy becomes loud. Nigeria was using almost all its internally generated revenue to service debt. Over 90 percent of our crude oil was stolen. We sold future oil to pay today’s bills. Tomorrow was sacrificed so that today could look calm. That was the economic model—push the problem forward and let the next generation suffer. The opposition knows this truth very well, which is why they avoid discussing it completely.

Even basic government services were traumatic. Getting an international passport took months or years unless you “knew someone.” Files disappeared. Applicants aged while waiting. Travel plans died quietly. This inefficiency was defended as normal bureaucracy. Today, improvements are happening gradually, but the haters will not mention it. Silence is safer than honesty.

Another truth they refuse to acknowledge is the quiet but steady progress on insecurity. When banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency overwhelmed the nation, every shout was “Tinubu.” Every attack was amplified, even by those who were architects of the country's insecurity problem. Every failure was placed at Tinubu’s feet, as if he personally carried the guns. No one asked how deep and long-standing the security rot was. Now that insurgency is being curtailed gradually, highways are becoming safer, communities are returning home, and coordinated security operations are yielding results, there is sudden silence. No applause. Even those who understand security dynamics refuse to give credit. Instead, they quickly shift focus to another problem, because once you name a dog a bad name, it becomes easier to hang it.

The same dishonesty plays out with the economy. Petrol and food prices became painfully high, and the outrage was loud and nonstop. But now that prices of foodstuffs are gradually coming down, supply is improving, and markets are adjusting, nobody wants to talk about it. A rubber of garri that sold for ₦1,500 now sells for about ₦250. Beans that sold for ₦4,000 now sell for about ₦900. Rice that sold for ₦4,000 now sells for about ₦2,000. Good news does not trend for those committed to outrage.

Acknowledging progress would weaken their narrative, so they pretend it is not happening. What we are witnessing is not healthy opposition; it is a campaign of calumny. The goal is not to offer solutions but to poison public perception. Pain is amplified without context. Hardship is weaponized without history. Tinubu is blamed without mentioning what he met on ground.

Reform is painful, yes, but decay was also painful, just slower and more familiar. Nobody is saying this government is perfect. No serious person should. But pretending Nigeria was a paradise before now is an insult to our collective memory. You cannot fix decades of damage without discomfort. You cannot dismantle entrenched interests without resistance. Those screaming the loudest today are often the same people who benefited from the old broken order.

The opposition refuses to tell Nigerians what exactly they would have done differently. They offer vague promises without details. They do not explain how they would remove subsidy without pain or keep it without bankruptcy. They do not explain how they would manage forex, fund education, stabilize the economy, pay workers, service debt, manage insecurity across geopolitical zones, and still attract investors. They just shout.

Nigerians deserve better than noise. We deserve honesty. We deserve issue-based campaigns that respect our intelligence. We deserve a clear account of where we were before now, where we are now, what has changed, and what has not. We deserve to hear what you will do better and exactly how you will do it. That is the minimum respect the electorate deserves. Anything less is not opposition; it is deception.

Why is Tinubu borrowing more money than PDP presidents and even Buhari despite removing subsidy to make petrol expensive and life unbearable for Nigerians?

Do you know?

Abi you are only concerned with how Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC will favour you and you only huh

TimeManager:
The Federal Government has revealed that the elimination of the petrol subsidy under President Bola Tinubu has resulted in savings of over $84 billion, which are now being channelled into the construction and rehabilitation of 40 key road projects across the country over the past two years.

This was disclosed in a policy brief released by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), titled “Two Years Later: Key Benefits of Subsidy Removal,” and made available to journalists over the weekend in Abuja.

The report, which reviewed the outcomes of the subsidy removal since May 29, 2023, noted that the policy averted a looming economic crisis.

It also enabled the Tinubu administration to clear long-standing financial liabilities, increase capital investments, and support the financial stability of state governments.

Una no dey ever get sense. In your previous comment, u were bleating about how he was a member of the APC under Buhari like they (Asiwaju) were supposed to chase him out of the party for being corrupt. What do you have to say now that he is an active member of Mr Obi, the saint's coalition of thieves party and why has Mr Obi's coalition of saints not disowned and chased him away?
One would have thought you hd sense if those comments were coming from a neutral person and not someone supporting Obi whose party is the one harboring the thief being investigated. Una dey muzz me for this forum.
Someone (a thief) is an active member of the party you are supporting but while he is being investigated, you started pointing fingers at his former party (APC) for harboring him and while at that, you didn't, for once criticize the new den of thieves that he had decided to seek refuge in grin
A normal person would criticize both the APC and ADC equally without criticizing one while praising the other. One harbored the thief before while the other is his present abode but ur brain somehow magically skipped that.

What is going on is a detraction from the worst looting by Tinubu and his Lagos boys, using the same format that has helped him keep a stranglehold on 20 million otherwise smart Lagosians for 27 years of his lootocracy TAX monster plan.

The plan that has raised revenue and budget 100 times without commensurate increase in government services and public utilities.

Why should Buhari not have jailed Tinubu, like he did for Jakande, instead of handing over to him in 2023?

Do you know why huh

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

SmartPolician:
It's not like I owe you a reply, but I need to make it clear that Peter Obi just needs a robust platform where he can contest and win the presidential election because running under another mushroom party will give Tinubu an automatic victory.

If Obi becomes president, he's not like your regular politicians who don't relate with ordinary people - he's a man that Nigerians can hold accountable. That's one of the reasons he's different.
Are you talking about this same Pandora guy, whose political naivete got him kicked out of APGA by Obiano in 2014 after his failed attempt at being a godfather? Thankfully Atiku rescued him five years later from his IDP oblivion camp before he betrayed not just PDP but also 200 million Nigerians in 2023 by helping Tinubu to get 100% SE votes indirectly.

He is different indeed. grin

Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers
Posted by NAN
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.

Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.

He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.

“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.

“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”

Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.

“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.

“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”

According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.

“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Which part of your above reply explains why Tinubu is borrowing more than PDP presidents and Buhari despite increased revenues and billions of dollars subsidy savings?

Could you please point out that part of your reply, which I may have missed.

Just for the media.

He might have fallen out of favour with the power that be.

Once the 'opinion' leaders intervene and they are settled, that will be the last we'll hear of the case.

Who would think by now, Yahaya Bello will not be languishing behind bars?

You got all this for contributing what exactly to the development of Nigeria?! A classic example of why Nigeria is the way it is — unskilled and totally unproductive people are fraudulently positioned to milk the country dry. Here is a man who studied Islamic Sharia law — Nigeria is a crimescene!
