Engaging with some of those people is like talking to a wood. I don't hesitate to block them with any slight attack.

Why should they be having the mentality of if someone is not supporting what they support, then the person can never make sense nor progress in life. Pay attention to their reasoning when engaging with you

Bro, imagine accusing you of receiving N30K monthly stipend for supporting government. N30K. What sort of mentality is that?

The other day, one created a thread asking people to give reasons why things will remain stagnant in Nigeria in the next 20 years with money rewards. Like the person created a thread to project doom future predictions for Nigeria. Tell me what could have brought such thought to start with

Ofunaofu:
nobody needs to pay you for a CTC to understand basic facts.

Tinubu forfeited over $460,000 to the U.S. government after it was established the funds were linked to narcotics, that part is on record and not propaganda’.

And let’s be very clear: the Nigerian Supreme Court judgment did not ‘clear’ Tinubu of being a drug baron. The court only ruled on constitutional qualification, not on U.S. drug forfeiture cases

A CTC can’t rewrite U.S. court records, and it can’t turn a narcotics-linked forfeiture into innocence

Ofunaofu:
Can you avail us with the CTC of the supreme court judgement

helinues:
Bro, how is it logical for some of those people to still be attacking some of us that have been active for over a decade on this forum. I mean everyday attack.

Why are some of they just so bitter about political discussion. Imagine with the blocking feature make some of those trollers still be wasting their time creating new monikers to troll others.

We have never agreed on anything. We have respected it by not attacking some of them that have been active for years yet they want to be attacking us daily.

That Racoon guy is on permanent blocking. They are not interested in allowing others to express their opinion

LegendHero:
Lol takes by moonlight? Are you saying Obi no trip on a flat surface?

Jagaban did knee surgery so mishap might happen here and there with his knees. It’s no biggie

Orlandoo:
No reputable platform reported that Obi fell except Reno Omokri who is an Obi hater. How do you expect sane person to believe anything the discredited and disgraced Reno says against Obi? Or are you saying that everything he said against Tinubu are true?

AustineE1:
Our education is questionable,please what exactly did Tinubu do for Enugu state that needed him to be praised.At a time when millions or billions of our common wealth fund is galvanized and used for upgrading south west airports like Murtala Mohammed international airport Lagos and that of Enugu international airport is concessioned because it doesn't deserve our common wealth fund,you still want to blindly support almost a sell out of Enugu airport to the highest bidder!
When Buhari was misbehaving,we warned the Fulanis but they were supporting him blindly because his nepotism is to their favour but today,they are shouting to high heavens.
Now Tinubu has taken the nepotism to another level,we hope that few years done the line,Yorubas can not and should never complain when the odd is against them....I rest my case.

The Federal Government has signed the formal concession agreement for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

The agreement, which was signed on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, marks a significant milestone in its efforts to modernise Nigeria’s aviation infrastructure through public-private partnerships.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the Minister on Media and Communications, Tunde Moshood, the signing ceremony took place at the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Abuja, where the Minister received a combined delegation of Enugu State Government officials and representatives of Aero Alliance, the concessionaire.

The Enugu State delegation was led by the Honourable Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Obi Ozor, while the Aero Alliance team included Engr. Chuks Aniekwe, Barrister Oyiwodu Okibe-Oga, Onyedikachi Nwachukwu, Kester Enwereonu, and Barrister Michael Nwaechie of Ivy Solicitors.

Also present from the Federal Government side were the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Dr Yakubu Adams Kofarmata; the Managing Director/Chief Executive of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku; Director, Legal Services, FAAN, Mrs. Bridget Iwinose Gold, alongside other top officials of the Ministry and FAAN.

In his address, Keyamo described the event as the conclusion of a painstaking and transparent process that began several years ago.

Keyamo said, “ Today is the end of a very long and tedious process regarding the concession of the Enugu Airport. The process culminated on the 31st of July, 2025, when the Federal Executive Council approved the proposal to concession the Enugu Airport, subject, of course, to contract.’’

He explained that following the Federal Executive Council’s approval, the Ministry, FAAN, and Aero Alliance engaged in extensive negotiations, including consultations with aviation unions, to ensure that workers’ welfare remained a top priority.

He said, “We did these agreements with the rights and privileges of workers uppermost in our minds. Let me say today that we have fully respected and preserved the rights of aviation workers. They have not been retrenched, their terms and conditions of employment have not changed in any way, and they remain workers of the Federal Government and FAAN.’’

The minister noted that safeguarding jobs and staff welfare were central to the concession framework.

“The workers have not been short-changed in any way at all. Their jobs are safe and protected. Having taken care of the rights of workers, we then addressed other critical issues and virtually covered all areas before the signing of this agreement,” he added.

Keyamo noted that while the main concession agreement has now been concluded, two operational issues — security charges and the financial model for airport operations — will be resolved in the coming weeks to ensure smooth implementation.

“There are two little issues after signing, in terms of operationalizing the agreement, regarding security fees and the financial model of the airport. These will be resolved in the next few weeks. But as far as the main concession is concerned, we have agreed to concession the Enugu Airport to Aero Alliance today, ” the Minister said.

He welcomed all stakeholders to what he described as a historic ceremony that will reposition the Enugu Airport for efficiency, improved service delivery, and enhanced passenger experience.

The concession of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, is part of the Federal Government’s broader aviation sector reform agenda aimed at attracting private investment, improving infrastructure, boosting regional connectivity, and strengthening Nigeria’s aviation competitiveness.

The Enugu State Government had, in April 2025, announced that the concession process for the Akanu Ibiam International Airport is over 70% complete and should be concluded by the second quarter of 2025.

The Enugu State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr Obi Ozor, explained that the process is being led by the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Aviation in collaboration with private investors.

APC Takes Over Kano Government House
The red and white symbols of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have officially disappeared from the Kano State Government House as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf prepares to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today.

As early as Monday morning, APC flags were hoisted at the main gates and within the premises of the Government House, confirming the imminent political shift.

The development signalled the dawn of a new political era in Kano State.

According to TVC News, the Government House has been placed on high-readiness mode ahead of the formal reception of the governor, who is expected to publicly announce his defection to the APC this afternoon.

The declaration is scheduled to take place after the flag-off of the APC’s e-registration exercise in the state.

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has arrived in Kano State to participate in the formal declaration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s membership of the ruling APC.

Ganduje’s arrival comes amid heightened political activities in the state, as the party prepares to receive the Kano governor following his planned defection.

His Chief of Staff, Muhammad Garba, made this known in a statemen saying Ganduje arrived in Abuja aboard a British Airways flight at about 5:30 am on Monday.

Garba stated that Ganduje is expected to proceed to Kano later in the day to commence a series of major political engagements in the state.

“The former Governor is scheduled to participate in the APC’s electronic registration of members, a programme he initiated during his tenure as national chairman of the party.

“He is also expected to play a prominent role in activities surrounding the planned reception of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, who is set to formally defect to the APC,” Garba said.

the former Kano State governor returned to Nigeria from London, where he attended the graduation ceremony of his daughter, Fatima Ganduje, at King’s College London.

Fatima, who is married to Idris Ajimobi, son of the late former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, graduated on Thursday with a Master’s degree from the prestigious institution.

Ganduje arrived in Abuja aboard a British Airways flight at about 5:30 am on Monday and is expected to proceed to Kano later in the day to commence a series of high-profile political engagements.

The planned declaration of Governor Yusuf’s APC membership is expected to draw party leaders and supporters from across the state and beyond.

The event in Kano today is said to be part of broader efforts by the APC to strengthen its party structure in Kano State and consolidate recent political realignments ahead of future electoral contests.
