shopwiser:For decades, billions of dollars have been sunk on Ajaokuta steel development without any benefit. I believe we have to let DANGOTE takeover this steel development but the frustrations he is facing with the refinery is much and Nigerians are not supportive. Without Government protection of that Refinery as a critical national asset, the cost of running a Refinery is very huge and unprofitable. The same scenario would be applicable to Steel development if given to private Investors to build. BUHARI as President and Malami as Attorney General paid $496 million in 2022 to Global Steel Holdings Limited, an Indian Company over a dispute on Ajaokuta steel development. This money was part of the money our Crude oil was mortgaged for Dollars from International Oil Companies. Those complaining about UK funding for Apapa Ports development never made mention of this $496 millions paid to GSHL in 2022. at a time Nigeria had no money to settle multinational corporations and foreign airlines. This money is just a fragments of billions of dollars that have been sunk on Ajaokuta steel development. |
AMINDA:Firstly, there was a judgement and the judgement hasn't been overwritten by another judgement from Court of higher jurisdiction. While a judgement is in force any transaction contrary to the judgement is deemed null and void. Before any transaction is done the interpretation of the judgement ought to have been settled by the factions. The Judiciary cannot be ridiculed by emotions. If it is true that Gombe resigned immediately after the judgement which was delivered few days or weeks ago does that means the end of the faction? Does it mean the faction no longer existed? Courts recognizes Political Party as an institution and not as an individual. If truly he has resigned according to your story, he should follow legal process to inform Judiciary and INEC that he has resigned and another legal process to inform the Judiciary and INEC that the Faction has ceased to exist. Without these two processes the Judgement remains. |
The message below is very strong and from someone that believe so much in Nigeria. As reinforced by our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, unity remains our lifeblood, and disciplined leadership, unwavering loyalty, and courageous reforms are the pathway to a stronger Nigeria. |
At the convention of our great party, All Progressives Congress in Abuja, the message was clear and compelling. As reinforced by our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, unity remains our lifeblood, and disciplined leadership, unwavering loyalty, and courageous reforms are the pathway to a stronger Nigeria. May we not only hear these words, but live them… for the sake of our nation and generations yet unborn. The above message was copied from the Facebook page of H.E Mrs Abiola Ajimobi. |
Omoboricash:Ha! Mama is gone. I am not happy at all that Mallam Nasir is having issues with Government after he fought very hard for the government to be in power. It is very painful. They must have told mama he is having issues with Government. Mallam Bashir El Rufai (Intercellular) will be highly sad that Mallam Nasir is having issues at the time mama died. May her soul rest in peace. |
Dotherightthing:Which competition? Importers versus Refinery with estimated 25,000 direct and indirect employees? While competition is good between industries operating in the same sector, it is very bad to expose industry to importers. Importers should never be allowed to compete with Industry. |
AMINDA:Ordinarily, I shouldn't have replied you but I observed they have stopped deleting my post and suspending me for replying you. Firstly, NNPC Limited (NNPCL) acquired OVH Energy Marketing (owner of Oando-branded retail stations) in October 2022 to strengthen its downstream portfolio, making it one of Africa's largest petroleum retailers. The deal included over 380 filling stations, a reception jetty, 8 LPG plants, 3 lube blending plants, 3 aviation depots, and 12 warehouses. That was 2022 deal when Buhari Faction of APC, most of the Tinubu faction in the Government and PDP (excluding WiKE faction) collapsed together as one Party against Tinubu. The deal was a bailout to NNPC and OANDO undergoing different crisis. Left to Asiwaju, he wouldn't have allowed OANDO entered such deal. With regards to Chagoury contracts, is there any indigenous consortium that have track records of handling such projects at competitive pricing and under high quality with warranty? None. Apapa Oshodi Gbagada Expressway is a major road to Seaports and Airports with high vehicular traffic and heavy trucks and machinery movement. The road was a calamity and nuisance creating chaos and crisis and frustrations for decades with repetitive repairs but no solutions. After IBB repetitive repairs without solutions, ABACHA government abandoned it for years turning a major road to eyesores. OBASANJO carried out major repairs repeatedly but no solution. DANGOTE came with Tax relief using HITECH Construction of Chagoury group to do Concrete reconstruction work. Since then, that was the end of decades of frustrations and nightmare on that road. In Victoria Island, Lagos, they saved VI and Lekki and Ajah from being submerged by Atlantic Ocean. They are indigenous consortium that have no place to go other than Nigeria. If such contracts are given to Julius Berger you will still complain that it's because of Mike Adenuga |
AMINDA:Where is the Propaganda? What is propaganda? Is Lateef Fagbemi a Lawyer of the same Professional integrity like Malami or Andoakaa? Who are the interests excluded in the resolution of the crisis? Which court validated them as interests in the deal ? ATIKU was a Vice President that made himself a defacto President because OBASANJO just came out of prison and was busy on reforms in 2001 and 2002 when the crisis began. ATIKU was indirectly part of the deal. |
Parachoko:ATIKU has interest in the Oil Deal, most people with insiders knowledge about the deal know ATIKU is one of the principal actors in the crisis because of selfishness. In 1998 before the death of ABACHA when Dan Etete was Minister of Petroleum the OPL was sold to Malabu . When OBASANJO came to power in 1999, different interests put pressure, by then ATIKU was the Vice President and always available for business transactions while OBASANJO just coming out of prison was busy traveling and on economy policies. In 2001 while ATIKU was the Vice President the Licence was revoked. In 2002 while ATIKU was the Vice President the Licence was transferred to Shell Deep Offshore. Those of us that know ATIKU and how powerful and influential he was at National Assembly and in the business communities during OBASANJO's first term and early of the second term know such deal cannot passthrough without ATIKU's interest. We know that ATIKU is driven not by patriotism or objective reasoning, but by undisclosed and self-serving interests but those closer to the DEAL knows his interest. 1998 to 2026 is 28 years. Nothing can stop the oil field again. ATIKU is now the Spokesperson and godfather of the interests he claimed were excluded in the resolution. |
wink2015:That is a very big and good and critical question. Nigeria stand to gain a lot from Brazil.. The IBOS know about Marcopolo or Brazil Luxurious Buses in the 80s and 90s. President Tinubu had visited Brazil many times within his 2 years in office. Some people were complaining about why he goes to Brazil so often. Brazil represents one of the Gateways to Nigeria Industrialization and President Tinubu knows. Geographically, by location, Brazil is just 6 or 8 hours flight to Nigeria by Direct Flight but there's no Direct Flight from Brazil to Nigeria and this created an 18 to 23 hours journey transiting through Europe and Middle East. In Brazil, we have our people that their ancestors were taken by slavery there. We have people that are willing to integrate and mingle with Nigerians. We would benefit a lot from Brazil if direct flights can be created and several bilateral relationship created between both countries. I am aware that Air Peace made efforts by creating a Direct Flight to Brazil but we need to intensify our bilateral relationship with Brazil |
marlow1962:Thanks. Some of us understood you. |
Kizyte:Thanks. I actually came here to see if there is anybody here with this metaphysics knowledge and I am glad I found you. I know you made a very short statement but those who know understand you know something. |
Brendaniel:You are a small boy. What has Night Shift Night Club got to do with Tinubu as a governor and with his returning back to Lagos early for the Ramadan Mubarak? Ken Caleb the owner (Gov'nor of night shift) cannot even understand your self confused noise. |

festacman:Bibire o se fowora. If the foundation is bad, it would certainly tell in the future. This is someone that was picked from the gutter on the street . When he wanted to marry the In-laws at IJEBU ODE refused because he failed background test. He has no good intimate friend that can do bestman for him during marriage. He was always looking for silver spoon children or rich young men popularly called YUPPY in those days. Because of KOLA ABIOLA, they helped him to enter Concord Newspapers. Finally, he sold Bread for Kola Abiola in their Bakery subsidiary. He became a member of Abiola household by parasite and benefitted from people who are very close to the Abiola family. Look at what he has become today. No wonder, the young Adeleke with a noble background called him My Boy few years ago. |
Parachoko:Makinde is so childish and petty. You named a Street after your friend, because of a feud you renamed it again |
AMINDA:Mallam, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is your uncle . You can ask him a question if it is the hosted President that requested for a State Visit from the Hosting Ruler. There is a difference between a Working visit and a State Visit. In April 2018, Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari authorized the withdrawal of approximately $496 million to pay the United States government for 12 A-29 Super Tucano fighter jets. The transaction was controversial as it was approved without prior National Assembly approval. AMINDA, that payment was hurriedly made to facilitate a one hour meeting with Trump. The YORUBAS supported Buhari strongly on Social Media and everywhere as the blame of Buhari coming to power was laid on the YORUBAS. After the meeting the people you are following now said TRUMP called BUHARI the most lifeless person he had ever met. They called Buhari different names it was the YORUBAS that defended Buhari on Social Media. By the Mercy of Allah, the YORUBAS gave Buhari a befitting burial. Mind you, if Buhari had been given the honour of a State Visit by the UK, these people would have still insulted and blackmailed him. |
mohbadliveson:Your comment is very irrelevant and for low and ordinary depressed people who comes online only to demonstrate their bitterness with you. This message from Segun Sowunmi revealed many things " I remember Hilton Metropole, 1994. In exile, I asked you rhetorically what the struggle had cost you. You said: a lot, including selling your houses in America to sustain the democratic cause. I told you then: never mind you would be the greatest beneficiary of that struggle ". From my analysis since year 2002 when the feud between OBASANJO and Tinubu was hot between President and Governor and efforts were made to criminalize him, I found out the case of money laundering / Tax evasion was in 1993 during Democracy struggle of June 12 crisis. Nobody had sympathy with a man that sold houses and lost money for a cause, rather, they believe only the fabricated conviction story without an evidence. |
seunmsg:It seems you are on the President delegates list to the UK. |
Chinonye2022:We are going to protest again him. Prof Iyabo OBASANJO or Pastor Tunde Lemo is the best choice. Ogun State had never had good Governor. You can see how the State would be looted by conspiracies of the State Parliament and the governor |
Nice123:Your question is incomplete. The more important question should have been why is America so much interested in Nigeria this time? The world knows what is happening in Nigeria. |
lamentor78:It is not a special thing, they knew he had knee surgeries and health challenge. They understand humanities and very compassionate to people with health challenges. They have his details Biodata. What happened in Turkey for few minutes just created a more stronger bond and brotherhood between Tinubu and Turkey President. They see courage, resilience and intellect despite health challenges while frustrated people rejoiced. |
muyico:You are very correct. This is well known to experienced people. Since last week I have been expecting serious terrorism incidents before the State visit. |
muyico:But every well exposed political and military tactician know that as Tinubu is going to be honoured in UK there must be terrorism incidents few days to the event. What are measures put in place to checkmate these incidents? It is not about who is behind the terrorism but about the foolishness of the opposition and the ineffective Security Intelligence Architecture. The National Security Intelligence Architecture Team leaders and any experienced politician and experienced military tactical operator will know that as Tinubu is being expected in UK for an historical State visit there must be terrorism attacks in strategic places to frustrate and blackmail him. Personally, I have been expecting terrorism attacks and serious bombardment of cities and military installations and kidnapping since last week just because of that State Visit. The last UN General Assembly Tinubu didn't go but sent VP because of terrorism incident. Also, there was a time a Dam collapsed in Borno State just before a very strategic meeting abroad. He attended the meeting and visited Bornu after his return. That time, Peter OBI said he shouldn't have traveled because of the collapse Dam victims. Why the groups behind these attacks have not been checkmated and brought up for judgement remain a mystery and conspiracy to me. I believe some people know the various groups behind these attacks and their financiers and sympathisers. |
muyico:It is not about who is donating the bomb but about the foolishness of the opposition and the ineffective Security Intelligence Architecture.

Empresa:Who brought Nigeria's political International Media Chat to Chatham House for the First time in the history of Nigeria? When you are crying you are seeing. The fact that a man is crying doesn't mean he doesn't see. I am just surprised that Senator Dino Melaye can share a petition written to King Çharles by a fake and fraudulent Journalist who propagate falsehood on Social Media. Nigeria has received many Diplomatic visitors under President Tinubu than any other Government in the history of Nigeria in the last two years and Nine months. At the same time, President Tinubu has received many Diplomatic invitations than any other President of Nigeria within the same period of time. These have lot of meaning. . Thousands of ants cannot move a cube of Sugar, they can only perambulate and confuse themselves the more. |
Kalulu44:What type of question is this? This is very uncivilized. United Nations General Assembly is there. If Tinubu has any reason to visit the US he will go or delegate VP . State Visit is at the discretion of the host Nation. State Visit to China, Brazil, India and South Africa is far better than State Visit to US. Tinubu's visit to UK is historical. Generations yet unborn would read about it. On Facebook you can do analysis of comments from aggrieved and depressed people who are very bitter. Dino Melaye shared a protest letter to the King because of the gravity of the message the honour given to Tinubu carry. The world is aware of the rare courage and intellect Tinubu is using to face challenge as they come. |

kettykin:Thanks for the observation. I was referring to the Net foreign exchange reserve and not the gross foreign reserve as it was with the $5.5 billions OBASANJO met in 1999 . Net Foreign Exchange Reserve provides a clearer picture of the portion of reserves that is readily available to defend the naira and meet external commitments. |
