Lol, you get the drill. I'm just seeing on social media he performed woefully but I barely know any House Rep that has done well or is axed for bad performance.

The only house of reps member I can talk well about in terms of performance is Obasa. He completely changed Agege. Asides that this one na political talk. He obviously offended the powers that be.

if the guy had tried they would not have been able to cancel him

fashola was always getting into it with tinubu but no one could touch him because of his performance record

but when this na your record all you can do is ask some actors to do solidarity

and his unguarded utterances that gave internet noisemakers ammunition

GloriousGbola:
my opinion - that is the power of social media which people use to make up a reality that does not exist.
it is also why imho people have to be careful quoting grok and chatbots

some people have learnt to game the system. literally repeat your version of the truth on twitter long enough and it becomes internet truth.

the only people imho who would have called ambode God sent are his people in epe. ambode definitely worked to develop that pat of Lagos

the online praise for ambode is like the hatred of amaechi

ambode was an ok typical naija governor until he was booted out at which point the anti apc geng decided to reinvent him as lagos best governor and try to make him larger than life. amechi was an excellently performing governor until he fell out with mama p and had to port to APC, after which he became a useless governor . and of course wicked wike the slayer [and beader]of apc, buyer and pocketer of supreme court, uncouth and violent thug was the heroic face of the resistance until his heel turn

back then some people were actually warning that ambode's antics could cost APC Lagos.

_{over to bros agege - i know the man is itching}

Yep. Ambode was an ok governor. One of the reason I made the statement that Lagos could have a useless governor that didn't know jackshit about the state and it still would function. Same could be said for Sanwo Olu's first tenure.

Ambode wasn't bad but his projects didn't really seem much like attending to the core socioeconomic development of the people.... It wasn't necessarily people centric, like grassroots level.

Things I remember Ambode for was mostly road projects left right centre. But other aspects of city life and development was problematic.

Floods, robbery and hooliganism.... That was when I started hearing broad daylight robbery and breaking of windscreens on 3rd mainland bridge. Then there's the total collapse of waste disposal in Lagos.

Ambode's biggest projects I can think of was the Airport road, the BRT corridor from Abulegba to Oshodi and that his mega terminal in Oshodi that has now been mismanaged and defaced. Laybys ansbao on. Ambode's projects I can remember is mostly related to road projects.
But yeah, it was obvious many projects Fashola started was halted and overlooked.

I remember the Ambode fighting with Tinubu's guys and how he wasn't ready to release funds for egunje. He wasn't a people person and loved unilateral decisions.

Lol, the guy funny talk online dey always funny. The dude really angered youths that year but I seem to have forgotten the particular thing he said. I just know I don't like him cos he's a disappointment.

But I don't understand the performance metric he's being asked of that would probably be the work of a LG chairman. Now talking about him unable to make motion for any reasonable state laws or amendments or get anything passed is where I'd call judgement on.

I probably just know about two or three present Lagos house of assembly members despite being a lifelong Lagos indigene. Desmond and Obasa. I remember Obanikoro some years back? Or I'm prolly mix it up.

Who are the well performed House members you can recall and their projects impacting their constituents??

You sure say no be opponent dey whine am with that bridge?? Cos this looks unbelievably funny.

So there are people that can defend Desmond Elliot? Hehehe.

He claim say 'Arise O Compatriot' na military government composition.

BlueRayDick:
But no matter how u look at it, sense no dey wetin Tinubu did with the national anthem.

How can he replace a "localized "national anthem with "Nigeria we hail thee" that was composed by a Briton and handed over to us by our colonial masters in 1960?

And he did all that by executive fiat, he didn't even care about public opinion being against it.

chrisooblog:

He prefers Colonial Master's anthem to Military anthem. Issokay.

I believe the ex-wife. It's no secret that Frank has not pulled a consistent income since his WWTBAM gig ended. Na wetin Omojuwa take yab am when they had their online tiff a year ago. Also, she name dropped at the risk of lawsuits and her claims are too specific to be false.

Frank eff up gan. Hin dey live off hin wife, and still dey cheat on top.

The ex-wife sef eff up. When you juxtapose her claim of fidelity during the marriage with the audio recordings, you go know say na lie she talk for that part. Her affair with Chike was during their marriage. By resorting to revenge cheating, she destroyed her own integrity and complicated the situation further.

Still, na Chike eff up pass. He crossed the boundary. He broke the cardinal rule in the committee of men. No matter how opportunities present themselves to you, stay off a married woman.

It is well sha. Another scandal go soon burst and we all go move on.

May they all find the healing they seek.

This is an article that really gives a good breakdown of Access Bank expansion and the CBN new regulations.


"Expansion outside Nigeria is primarily a diversification strategy," said Gloria Fadipe, head of research at CSL Stockbrokers. "The Nigerian banking market is deeply regulated, which can limit performance."

The Nigerian Government may not be wrong.

So, these terrorists usually don't use their real names. Those names are mostly a title attached to that rank.

Once you get to that rank, you will start bearing that name.

So, it's possible that they killed that particular Commander in 2024, and this is just another one that has assumed the role again.

It's possible oh....You also might be correct that it's propaganda

Most likely... 😅 Cos I'm not feeling that lyrics at all, asides the rhyme.

I've listened to 7 songs so far I think, and I'm listening to the rest ATM but I haven't seen a single song that intrigued me yet.

Seems HABIBTI has a better chance at that, cos this one never dey move me.

Ibime:
Training for Manchester 10km race in 6 weeks with aims of completing in 55 to 60 mins which is 5.30-6.00min/km pace.

2 weeks to race day and closing out training. Two runs this morning. One 10km run at race pace sub 6 mins/km and another 5km recovery run shortly after at 7 mins/km pace to build resilience. Getting more confident of meeting my race goals above especially as my legs are beat up from hill sprints yesterday so should be better with 3 full days rest before race day

OPERATION HADIN KAI AND US PARTNERS NEUTRALISE ISIS GLOBAL SECOND-IN-COMMAND ABU-BILAL AL-MINUKI AND SEVERAL TERRORIST COMMANDERS IN PRECISION AIR-LAND OPERATIONS AT METELE

In a landmark joint counter-terrorism operation of historic significance, troops of the Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in close coordination with the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), executed a meticulously planned and highly complex precision air-land operation that resulted in the neutralisation of Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki, the Islamic State's (ISIS) second-in-command globally and the most senior ISWAP commander operating in the Lake Chad Basin and Sahel region alongside several of his key lieutenants and multiple combatants. Al-Minuki, also known as Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Mainuki, was a US-designated Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), designated by the US Department of State on 8 June 2023 under Executive Order 13224 for his role as a leading official within ISIS's General Directorate of Provinces, through which he channelled international funding and operational guidance to terror cells across the Sahel and the Lake Chad Islands in Northern Borno. His elimination represents the single most consequential counter-terrorism outcome in the North East Theatre since the inception of Operation HADIN KAI.

The operation, which commenced at approximately 0001 hours and concluded at about 0400 hours today, Saturday 16 May 2026, was the culmination of a protracted joint intelligence effort involving legal intercept operations and sustained reconnaissance that achieved full target development and fidelity. Following confirmed intelligence that Al-Minuki and his international terrorist cell had established a concealed and fortified enclave at Metele in Borno State within Sector 3 OPHK, the US partners in conjunction with OPHK conducted precision air - ground operations on the confirmed location while Special Forces were deployed to provide security and deny escape routes as well as to extract any of the Teams or air platforms in distress.

The operation involved several air platforms in a synchronised air-land configuration that left the terrorists with no avenue of escape. The operation was executed following authorisation from the Military High Command, underscoring the highest levels of institutional coordination and strategic decision-making that underpinned the success of this mission.

The operation was executed with zero casualties or loss of assets, a testament to the exceptional planning, superior tactical execution and the deepening synergy between Nigerian and US military forces in the global fight against terrorism. Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki has been confirmed neutralised alongside several of his lieutenants and multiple combatants.

Battle Damage Assessment is ongoing, while troops are currently conducting aggressive follow-on exploitation operations to decimate identified splinter cells and prevent any attempt at reconstitution. The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, acknowledged the success of the operation and publicly commended the partnership with the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

This decisive operation reaffirms OPHK's position as the foremost counter-terrorism formation in sub-Saharan Africa and sends an unequivocal message that terrorists will find neither sanctuary nor safety within the North East Theatre.
