I remember how they told us that dangote cement was a scam, etc etc, fake bags. Today, e no be scam

I also remember how they told us that dangote refinery was a scam, etc etc...today, e no be scam

Apparently altering the route of the highway somehow means it is a scam

(P.S : I don't like the highway project, and consider it a waste of money...but altering the route of the highway doesn't mean scam.)

[b]In war, everything is fair,[/b,] the civil war had been fought, reconciliation had been made. That is why Asaba instead of Warri, Sapele, or other known cities is made capital of Delta state. This is to compensate the killing.

I am sure the sister plane of ATR-42mp, the ATR-500MP, which the Nigerian Airforce has left, also carries 500 passengers. This level of ignorance is just embarrassing. What is the phone in your hands for if you can't source for relevant information?

The high-wing airliner is powered by two turboprop engines, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120s. The number "42" in its name is derived from the aircraft's original standard seating capacity of 42 passengers

Dogalmighty17:
ATR-42MP was repurposed by the manufacturer to be a surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. It has advanced sensors for monitoring electronic communications, has advanced radar capabilities on board and has sharp night vision capabilities as well. The modification of the aircraft also gives it a more extended range than civilian use versions of the same plane model. The second remaining one Nigeria has, the ATR-500MP has a larger sitting arrangement and is used mainly for flying personnel of the Airforce around.

See how the inside of the crashed plane looked like.

That particular quote of Awolowo is very very deep.

Lagos ADC Governorship Candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour was a speaker at this year's The Platform Town Hall programme.

In this video, he tried to reply to a participant who asked him a question in Yoruba language on how he will preserve the Yoruba culture if elected Governor of Lagos State.

Watch

I think this guy set a trap for GRV by asking the question in Yoruba, and he fell for it.

A particular tribe for decades has been looking for a way to hijack SW power especially Lagos State. Forgetting Lagos state is why Yoruba race is not finished in Nigeria.

GRV project in Lagos is a war against the Yoruba civilisation, power and survival in Nigeria.

DiamondsAreFore:
Mr Ote Dollar, so you actually want us to believe that the growth of our foreign reserves is due to Tinubu's "genius" when we all know that it is the result of Nigeria earning significantly more income from oil since 2022 as a result of the compounding effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, the Hamas-Israel war and the blockade/ closure of the Hormuz Strait by the United States Navy?

We are cursed with self inflicted ignorance in this country.

Subsidy is gone but transparency and accountability is the same. Nothing has changed.

Your question has been answered, Tinubu supporter. You just don't want to see it.

Good morning.

tuoyoojo:
God bless Makinde for doing the Lord's work coming out for president. He has my support

All those votes tilumbu is banking on in the oyo would be wiped off

nairalanda1:
LOL...

If you want to be a rich nation, you nigerians got to be more productive. Youdo not borrow to live a rich life, you use what you have to make stuff that the world needs?

Has your tinubu made our country more productive? Is he doing that thing?

Some of you guys are so invested in proving i support APC, that you miss the actual message I am trying to give on this site.

TopBanter:
Lol. What exactly was the common man enjoying under cheap fuel regime? You think cheap fuel alone, with poverty and stagnation everywhere constituted fitting human existence?

The problem with most of you is that you are not exposed and previous Presidents before Tinubu had used weaponised poverty, through several subsisidies to get you accustomed to your totally crap lives and even thankful/praiseful of it.

Look, majority of Nigerians will never be able to buy a car, a home, go on holiday, beat generational poverty, be finest trained human resources etc.

Is that life you have, one of the worst globally, simply not because they give you cheap petrol, subsidized electricity delivering only darkness, subsidized education delivering substandard level of graduates meaning we must import foreign expert to deliver our crititical infrastructure etc, etc ?

Can't you guys see the obvious and how we must change and sacrifice to become like Singapore etal?

IF ONLY NIGERIA KNOWS HOW TINUBU RESCUED US FROM THE MONUMENTAL FRAUD CALLED OIL SUBSIDY

By Hon. Rotimi Makinde - Insider's Account_





If only Nigeria knows how President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rescued Nigerians from the oil subsidy regime, every Nigerian will stand and thank him every morning.



Oil subsidy was not a policy. It was a monumental fraud. A national organized crime.



I write not as a politician, but from the perspective of an insider. I served this country as a staff of NNPC for 20 solid years. I was an accountant saddled with accounting for petroleum product sales from my desk in Pipeline and Products Marketing Company, PPMC, at Ibadan Depot. For 20 years, I saw the books. I saw the lies.



I also write as a former member of the House of Representatives. I served as a member of the Downstream Petroleum Committee, a member of the Finance Committee, a member of the Subsidy Probe Committee of 2012, and above all, a member of the Petroleum Industry Bill Committee of the 7th Assembly.



All these exposures and responsibilities availed me the opportunity to arrive at one painful truth: this country's oil and gas industry operated under a very corrupt environment, shrouded in a very severe manner that injured the nation deeply.



The system of the subsidy regime lied about everything. They lied about production cost. They lied about importation. They lied about landing cost and its poor cost template. There were a lot of lies in storage and consumption figures. Nigeria was consuming 30 million litres on paper, but on the ground, half of it was going across our borders to Benin, Niger, Togo, Cameroon and Ghana. We were subsidizing the consumption of petroleum products for mostly our neighbouring countries while Nigerians suffered scarcity.



We were borrowing to import what we had. We were paying debts we did not consume. The huge debt encountered during the subsidy regime almost collapsed our economy. Banks were making trillions from subsidy claims. One man would bring one ship and claim for three. Depot owners were collecting subsidy for products that never left their tanks.



That is why I say, the best thing that ever happened to this oil and gas industry is the bold step taken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on May 29, 2023 when he said "Subsidy is gone".



Only a courageous leader with full understanding of the cartel can do that. Others before him knew the truth but lacked the courage.



If there are any counter voices now calling for the return of subsidy, it can only mean one thing: the cartels are fighting back. It will not augur well for us as a nation if we listen to them. Those championing the return of subsidy either lack the knowledge or exposure to how this country was subsidizing other countries, or they are direct beneficiaries of the fraud.



Let me be clear: Nigerians were never the beneficiaries of subsidy. The cartels were. Nigerians were only benefiting from cheap smuggled product scarcity, long queues, and national debt.



Of course, the need to overhaul the administration of the post-subsidy regime cannot be over-emphasized. Government must ensure that the savings from subsidy are well managed, that refineries work, that CNG and other palliatives reach the real poor, and that the downstream is well regulated.



But to return to subsidy? Never. That will be returning to Egypt after God has already taken us through the Red Sea.



President Tinubu has taken the hard road, the right road. History will vindicate him.

How Tinubu go give you 50k when he's not mad?

So they converted naira to naira to get the trillions of naira they claim Peter obi borrowed.?

Peter Obi will never be president of Nigeria

Why not send us the account numbers for the offshore accounts that was in the Pandora case...

EponObi:
Lmaooooo...

"Governors only have one vote" the same rubbish his minors spew on a daily basis. He was once a governor and he's only being deceitful by insinuating governors have zero influence and have zero voters base. Trump self wey get Choco for head can't say a governor in the US only has one vote. Obi thinks na one man mopol dey win presidency of a nation. The last presidential election in the US, do you know the thousands of political groups, actors, governors, mayors, congressmen, congresswomen, clergymen, religious groups and organizations etc that shifted the election in Trump's favour. Same goes for Kamala Harris. The best political machinery simply won. The various MAGA groups, you think say na play? Lol. Why do you think the Democrats and Republicans are always hustling to have more numbers in the Senate and House?

Maybe you all should read about Scott Presler; a single guy who helped Trump swing Pennsylvania in Trump's favor in 2024. Scott isn't even a governor or elected in any office, but an Obi would have said "Scott has only one vote". What of Charlie Kirk, of blessed memories? Do you know the massive amount of voters he influenced for the Conservatives in 2024? When he was assassinated, you can't imagine the kind of blow that hit the US conservatives and the Republicans. Ever wonder why he was given a presidential burial? Obi knows nothing.

It's foolery to think social media noise or moral grandstanding or "I only have one boxers" rhetorics will take him to Aso Villa. Instead of working the past three years to build a formidable machinery, he was wasting time entertaining people on Twitter. In fact, if he was serious and visionary, he should have started building his machinery since he became governor. For the illiterates, before saying rubbish, political machinery doesn't mean rigging machinery. Machineries are simply there to influence voters and sell a candidate.

Since Trump won his second term election, I know of about two reps who lost their seats simply because they ran out of favour with Trump because they no longer align. It's not that Trump rigged against them. Trump simply negotiated and activated machineries in their constituencies to vote against them.

Obi is outrightly a learner when it comes to politics.



Lmaooo... See the foolery in that statement. Obi is delusional. He is simply saying if he wins, the people decided. If he loses, the governors wrote the results. Lmaooo. January no kuku far again.

happney65:
You dont need to cry. Even before now since 2019,he has been paying on the 25th and the least pensioner on level 17 collects nothing less than 190K every month. People who were called Dead people and were not paid pensions ans grautities for years

Not to talk of 13th month salary he has been paying in December of every year.from 2019 till date.

He isnt like your tinubu that has made Nigerians poorer and that is why he is the most popular outgoing Govornor in Oyo state
