Your problem is lack of proper Education. You seem not to know the meaning of the word " initiative" and that's your problem. No one is saying Buhari did not commission a Lithium plant or that Buhari does not deserve credit. But we are talking about an initiative of the current administration that's helping to revolutionize the sector. Tinubu says unprocessed lithium must not be exported and that's an executive order. Buhari did not say that during his tenure. This group are commending Tinubu for making the processing of our raw materials a priority which was not the case in the past. Anyways, people with average understanding or less are plenty on the internet.

The link above is from January 2023.
I won't bandy words with you. See the link above. Same with Nasarawa state.
Stop spreading falsehood.
Anyways..ti iron ba lo ni ogun ogun...





Weldone o, Lithium is PMB's project, you should have even said it was Buhari that created Lithium, maybe Buhari also created Gold and other mineral resources in the country 🤣🤣. So a Govt cannot come and have its own initiatives in every sector?. Take for instance, this initiative of banning exportation of raw lithium, was it Buhari's initiative?. Park well abeg.

I work in the hospital. It wasn't built by tinubu. It was built 5 years ago by buhari. I have worked there for a year now. Una forget say tinubu na propaganda chief. He asked for repainting and launch of the hospital just to take the credit and we were given 2 weeks off from work for the repainting

On Ibom Air, same opinion as with Value Jet.

If you lack what it takes to be a professional and escalate or de-escalate issues without devolving into caveman antics or relying on your brute force or emotional outburst, then get out of professional spaces.

Two wrongs can never make a right.

Sometimes I get severely provoked by people I have to deal with and what I do is to take a step back and immediately escalate to a superior.

You cannot hold an individual hostage when you do not have the authorities to arrest or detain people.

If the issue had been ongoing and had been escalated to AvSec, the lady didn’t need to be held hostage or even arrested on the plane, anywhere on the airport grounds is sufficient to pull her aside and have a word with her. You can also reach out to her afterwards using the manifest if you do not have the powers to arrest people.

Not sure if the air hostess or air hostesses in general are given the authority to conduct citizen arrests when they are given their cute little skirts and ish but just like the pilot that left the cockpit to come and have a one-on-on with Wasiu, most of these issues are arising either because people do not know where to draw the professional line and where to stand (otherwise known over here as “above my paygrade”); or they have zero conflict resolution skills.

Also, was that lady stripped?

Lol.

Anyway, let us focus on the professionals that took a minute or two to act like agberos, are you all willing now to have a conversation about how and why professionals should have a rein on their emotions and watch their reactions in public?


Whatever the issue was was not properly de-escalated when it started; and that was why it spilled into that embarrassing show of shame - a flying passenger is a customer and should not be treated with condescension just because.

If they refused to turn off their phones or switch it to flight mode; then the aircraft should not have taken off until they were removed from it or if the decision was made to fly to destination with them and then remove them there, AvSec should have been waiting for the plane upon arrival and done the detention and arrest themselves so they can let her know what offense she was being held for BEFORE going ahead to detain her.

Anyway, hopefully she has good lawyers or will get good lawyers.

Ibom Air and its representatives were highly unprofessional.

What is wrong with Aviation in Nigeria this August sef?

PS: Are we still switching off phones to board flights? What is the “flight mode” option for? In this day and age where we can hold full blown conversations with our people who are flying long haul, a woman got stripped by an airline staff for not “switching off her phone”?

Lol!

PPS: Seriously people should know how to determine what is within and above their paygrade and refuse to involve themselves in anything above or below your paygrade; or not in your job description. I have said it here before: do YOUR job (when in doubt, check your job description), get paid, go home.

That’s all.

It is when you overstep the boundaries of your JD that you make all of these gaffes and expose yourself to the risk of losing the job you were trying to do too much to get noticed on.

CoreWaveMedia:

Everyone just wants to sound smart. Do you remember when super eagles or so travelled and were stranded and we were raining fire and brimstone on the NFF. Now the Presidency has done right and we are still complaining.

The reward is not for them alone, it's to encourage young people to aspire to do the same and secondly what you see at the competition is a culmination of years of hard work and the competition is the crowning moment.

In the US the winner of CONCAF gets $1,000,000 and there are still homeless people.

Even the Bible said the poor will always remain with you.

So let the girls enjoy their victory, it was well earned.

After seeing how much they earned, even me as a guy started checking out basketball pitches in my area.

TallNigerian:
If only we understand that the common Nigerian is the major weapon fashioned against this country, maybe we may begin to realize how almost irredeemable this country has become.

A family friend of mine had a terrible experience with Nigeria Custom Service officers along the Idiroko axis sometimes last month (June 2025). He had gone to purchase 4 bags of rice at N45,000 each (this was a mutual funding by four neighbours) and was returning when he was intercepted by NCS officers, they searched and then released him to go. He had not driven up to 3 minutes when he noticed the NCS officers chasing him with motorbikes. He stopped and they said they were instructed to seize the bags of rice. They eventually did and this family friend had to contact another friend who is a Superintendent of Customs. The SC told him to return to the post where the bags were seized so he can speak to the officers, but upon arriving there, he was told the bags have been moved to the custom warehouse.

He proceeded to the warehouse where they denied receiving such item that day. After so much back and forth, my friend became frustrated and abandoned the recovery process. Somehow, he later learnt that the same people he bought the rice from were the ones colluding with the NCS officers to seize the rice, thereby spiking the price gradually.

Nigeria's problem is beyond Tinubu, Obi or Atiku. Nigerians are fantastically corrupt. It will take the Chinese style of executing corrupt officials and citizens for some normalcy to be restored in the way we conduct ourselves.

triplechoice:
The 125k may include the penalty for not collecting it on time , the yearly cost for keeping it safe and other sundry charges .

Most states university in Nigeria have placed a penalty for not collecting your certificate on time . If you failed to collect your certificate after 10 years be sure that you be required to pay close to that amount or even more.

So, find out first why they're charging that amount before castigating the university.

Dbakre1:
I think its ok since a big banquet hall is inside the villa, the meeting would caused very heavy human and vehicular traffic around the APC Secretariat area, especially as the President and many Governors will be going with large convoy

OnyeObowo1:
Have u noticed no international or other countries sent condolences to buhari

Mrfixitt:
Stop talking like an illiterate. UK and US and so many other countries are supposed to send an official condolence message which the media would carry and that's the way it should be.

kings59:
Till today, no world leaders sent condolence messages. It's not just fair, after working with Buhari.

Even if there was a clone, other world leaders wouldn't want to tell Nigerians so as not to set fire on the country.

Alsenora:
The truth about subsidy removal is either bitter to them or they are ignorant of its economic implications.

7upnigeria:
Some of you forget that Tinubu has been around for just two years. And in that 2 years electricity supply has improved tremendously.

If Buhari has done this in two years, imagine what he would have achieved in 8 years. It means even the General WAS SCARED of what people will say while an ORDINARY BRAVE CIVILIAN took a great decision he should have taken
