Vision101:
Being governor of Lagos successfully is like ruling mini-nigeria. Tinubu's clout before he became president was immense. Obi and Amechi don't have such. They can't carry the weight of Nigeria. Forget chochocho. Atiku even with his short comings and northern domination entitlement is far ahead of Obi and Amechi in terms of capacity. The weight of managing Nigeria is immense - economy, tribal, religion, security, corruption, foreign interests, class interests etc.

Some of the above are not common in many countries. For example many countries don't have tribal and religious issues. These are two major ropes holding Nigeria.

It's characters like you that are keeping this country down on its knees. Listen to yourself, Tinubu did what in Lagos? am sure you dont even live in Lagos. We that lived in Lagos long before Tinubu became Lagos governor and up until now know those governors that truly developed Lagos. Tinubu did not come 30% near Fashola for instance. But all these your Baba sope mentality will not allow people like you to think straight.
With all these claims of his experience, where has he led Nigeria to now? When you finish arguing, you go behind and start lamenting the state of insecurity, the economy, poor electricity, corruption etc in the country, right?. It's not your fault, because the internet has made it possible for even those who know nothing to have the opportunity to spew all that is in them.

Emeskhalifa:
What is his definition of experienced?

How is Obi and Amaechi experienced? They were presidents before? Aside the fact that they were former governors just like Tinubu himself?

Lastly, can we compare the development in Lagos to what is being managed in both Anambra of Obi and Rivers of Amaechi?

must you have a presidential experience to context presidential election? How na? When Tinubu contested in 2023 did he have the experience aside from the one he got as a governor and briefly as a senator? You are speaking with biased mindset.

Waste of constituency resources making irrelevant laws. Realtime electronic transmission of result looked to them like climbing mount Everest and they refused to pass it. Now they are spending energy pushing for this non useful bill.

yarimo:
This is very commendable from the authentic PDP

Which of the two factions is this one? BC I know BAT splitted them into two. 😁

Jayhome24:
It all a result of Trump arrogancy and miscalculation. You can change a govt without a war bt Trump thought everybody will be like spineless Venezuela.

Trump thought he can go alone to over run Iran forgetting no one is an island to himself and the as why th rest NATO abadoned him and now he is counting his teeth.

It just came to our knowledge now that UK has shut their door against anything US and Trump is fuming and perplexed in White House right now because he is left with nobody China, Russia, EU, India, Australia NewZealand, South America, Canada already dumped him in a matter of time the US is crumbling because we warned them don't return Trump to power it will be worst than Buhari in Nigeria. The breaking news on the way..

For where? All of dem na propaganda they are all with usa

Ayomid3h:
trump don over pass his bargain they might kill him as stated and nothing will happen

That one no be for Trump. The man no de fear death talkless of death threats from ordinary Iran wey their missiles no de reach anywhere. Lol. Na only Trump Wei I see say him be president yet him ready to die anytime. Ask Putin , him go tell you better if you doubt me.

Is Nigeria officially becoming a one-party state? 🇳🇬 The political map just turned almost entirely blue.
As of March 9, 2026, the APC has secured 100% control over the South-South, North-Central, and North-West.
With the South-South moving from a former PDP stronghold to 6/6 APC, what changed the tide?
Can the remaining opposition states (Oyo, Osun, Bauchi, Abia, Anambra) hold out until the next general election?

Are u surprised? That is the way BAT works in everything. Greed. He takes everything, and nothing will be left. That is his flagship model of operation. Its not new to those who know him.

mablie:
People (particularly obidients) are making too much of a big deal out of this interview.

Bwala was not that bad.Infact,i found him to be very entertaining and likeable.Ofcourse he lied numerous times but which politician on planet earth doesnt

45minutes with over 880 thousand views in 3days on al-jazeera youtube channel.Many politicians worldwide can only dream of receiving such attention whether good or bad.

Bwala's haters simply made him relevant internationally.He is the biggest winner in all of this post interview brou-haha

I take this as a consolation effort, Bwala was damaged, while Bat was annihilated beyond recognition. The world watched. We shall soon begin to see the results

yinkeys:
Should’ve sent Reno Omokri

That crook? him for dodge the interview. that one na bad guy wei sabi him way. he knows this kind of interview will expose his lies too much, he can never try it.

Misterone:
keep deceiving yourself! Is it Obi that has no political party or Atiku that will go bankrupt that will win the election?

Bookmark this post, I say.

Misterone:
At the end of the day, your rabble rousing will amount to nothing because Tinubu will win 2027 election

After 2027 election, I bet you will avoid this post BC you would be shocked. Bookmark this post bro.

You have to understand that Lagos has no industry, no any other investment that brings in money aside this kind of exploitations. It can only get worse, those who have ears should hear and learn. That's just the way it is.

Keep beating around the bush instead of prosecuting the sponsors of terrorism. When they would have taken over the whole country then I will see which country you will govern

When I watched that interview, I pitied bwala that AJ guy mean. He finished our guy bwala. Bwala was just stammering while spectators were just laffing . Honestly, wisdom is profitable to direct. If bwala is smart he should have turned down that invite and it would have been better for him, BAT. And the whole of Nigeria.

Misterone:
Oga, have you not been paying PAYE before?

It looks like P.A.Y.E is the new word U just learnt in 2026 from the new tax law signed recently.

lapintoz:
Why not ask your mates living ashore this country if they dont pay tax where they enjoy high quality of life.......

You pay zero tax, and you expect the country to turn to eldorado overnight.

I beg who do una this jazz......

Who told this one that Nigerians are against paying taxes? In abroad the law is strict, the government is accountable and does not squander tax payers money so as a result you enjoy the dividends of your taxes paid, e.g functional hospitals, security, education, infrastructures etc. But in Nigeria everything is the direct opposite. You can't suffer to make money and pay huge taxes in a country where there is no accountability, nothing is working, they share the money among themselves and some ignorant simpletons will hop on social media and speak authoritatively demonstrating absolute lack of knowledge and superlative ignorance. All the borrowed monies , can the government account for them? What about monies recovered from abachas loots, subsidy remove? I can go on and on.

Tareq1105:
Ignorance is a disease.

The new Tax Reform Act brought PAYE down and it reflects in my salary.

It's very clear you earn peanuts

Misterone:
Oga, have you not been paying PAYE before?

Stop showing executive ignorance.
If you can't read go and ask someone to read and help you explain.

crunchyDope:
especially when we start paying tax by december

Don't mind all these agbadorions , by the time the tax deductions based on the new tax law starts hitting them they will know the reality and only them will chase Baba away in 2027. Ask me what they are even into that they will afford to pay taxes , artisans are exempted from tax laws anyway.

The parrot wasn't sacked, she was just redeployed to another agency. Am sure Trump is pleased with her performance, it's just the pressure that forced him to take that decision.

Lol. Very funny and electrifying thread.

The only disgusting thing I heard was several years back then I was still a school boy, visited my brother and was sleeping in his room when his girlfriend came to stay the night and they had to do all the nonsense noise through out and I pretended I was deeply asleep.

The next day I left back to school feeling irritated

Mattswaggz:
No be title way every tom,dick and harry fit put for their name as we've seen countless times...... nothing is new here.....as it stands now everyone can chose to be called pastor,prophet man/woman of the Lord regardless.

Stop being judgemental na. Someone embraces a new life and decided to change her name ,but some of keep sounding like you are jealousing her new faith. Why do some people prefer to see others living worldly lives than moving towards serving God? Must everyone live like you live?

SouthAmericalif:
Today mark 7 months in Lagos,but should I say it's worth it,I am not even sure,I move in with my family august 2 luckily after two days in the hotel I got an apartment with 2m naira per annum for just a mini flat on the island. Up on till now I couldn't find a job that can pay my monthly rent allowance,and I can't go below that standard of apartment so I just key to small online jobs.
For warri where I come this kind apartment I can't pay more than 300k, this Lagos stinks like hell, everywhere smells,aboki spiting up and down, no gaging like deltans do, you go see people for street looking so dirtylike mad.. you go hardly differentiate some from sane.
Sometimes I go see the way people they hustle for street,their store is their apartment no good living,na so life come bad reach,the Igbos and other tribes and the funny thing nothing in that shop to make a good living. Stop crying to come to Lagos, he no worth am when you are starting from zero. But if you get like 3million then give it a try but...
As I dey here I still dey find the thing when they sup for this place I never see am,my other family member is working in a popular mart here in Lagos and I have the opportunity but I no gree,so when I weigh my life in Delta and my life now in Lagos I come know say I was doing excellent before and if I grade am here now I don't even know where to start because the people when they street for this Lagos overshadow people when dey do well so you no go see eye count, if I am making Sense I just need one person to say it and reply to my post so I can say it all for those that one to learn,there are good side I have not mentioned, thanks.

But Omo U get mind o, pack family come stay hotel then rent bunk to relocate to lagos. But waiting Una de hear about this our Lagos Wei de move Una to take this Kain move? Na wa o

seunmsg:
Relocate to Abia still. The governor is working. In fact, he’s the best in Nigeria. Public infrastructure are excellent. Social amenities are the best in
Nigeria. Electricity is 24 hours. Business and job opportunities are on the same level with London and Dubai.

So, leave Lagos alone please and go to Abia. The governor of Lagos is APC and I’m sure you know that everything about APC is evil. Go to Abia my brother and leave Lagos alone. Thanks for your understanding.

Lol, @op U don enter am especially that statement you made"Lagos is no man's land" don spoil the minds of many Wei for genuinely help you with some good tips. Good luck to you any ways.

Islie:
•We got warrant to detain ex-governor for 14 days

•He declined to cooperate with investigators



https://thenationonlineng.net/icpc-recovers-wiretapping-equipment-from-el-rufai/

Lol. Una here just de shout. Look here, nothing go happen to el rufai. Or do you want to bet with me? Let's drop 1m, before 2027 election Una no go hear anything about this case again. El rufai is not from the se o.

I have been on nairaland for about a decade or more now, I noticed the branding hasn't really improved , I know you are trying to maintain some identity which is good, but trying to innovate with reference to ux,ui will be fine too

Secondly, are you aware of how similar social media platforms have become creative about letting content creators and in some cases visitors earn a fraction from their efforts posting on platforms? In my opinion, if any competitor happens to identify this kind of service you are currently offering and add any feature that will allow creators and possibly visitors to earn no matter how small, nairaland may start looking unappealing. Let me know if I am getting something wrong. But those are my thoughts.

Today, 2nd of March, 2026. Our esteemed father in the Lord, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is 84....
Happy 84th birthday Daddy G.O.....

Happy birthday to you sir great and humble man of God. More years,more anointing, more strength and more grace sir.

Dpsychologist:
how comes you termed what he did as lust?

He manipulated and decieved her, simple.

Yes , it is lust otherwise if it was out of true love he should have put the feelings of the lady into consideration and not put her through that by telling her the truth and letting her go her way.

Dpsychologist:
This is not a love story. This is betrayal at the highest level.

A woman says she cannot marry AS. She is AS herself. She was clear ans firm ans wants healthy children.

The man brings a result that says AA. They got married. First pregnancy.
CVS test at ten weeks.
Result: SS.
Shock. Tears. Fasting. Confusion.
They terminate.
They call it bad luck.

Second pregnancy.
Same test.
Same result: SS.
Another abortion.
More pain.
More hormones.
More grief.
She blames destiny.
She questions God.
She doubts herself.

All the while, her husband knows the truth.
He is AS. He forged his result because he “didn’t want to lose her.”

Let that sink in.
He watched her carry two pregnancies that statistically had a 25 percent chance of being SS.
He watched her terminate twice.
He watched her body break.
He watched her mourn.
And he kept quiet.
That is not love.
That is manipulation.
That is cruelty dressed up as romance.
Now she finds his real result from 2019. Genotype: AS.

Now he is crying.
Now he says “I did it for love.”
Now he suggests adoption.
Now he brings a pastor to preach “for better or worse.”

No.
Marriage is for better or worse.
Not for lies that create the worse.
He did not just lie.
He removed her right to make an informed decision about her own body.
He gambled with her womb.
He gambled with potential children.
He gambled with her mental health.
Genotype is not vibes. It is biology.

AS plus AS means:
25 percent AA
50 percent AS
25 percent SS

Each pregnancy resets the probability. It is not “once SS, next one safe.” That is not how genetics works.Two SS results back to back is painful, but possible.
And he knew the risk from day one.
The real question is not whether she should stay.

The real question is this:
If someone can lie about something this fundamental before marriage, what else can they lie about?

Trust is the foundation of marriage.
Without trust, you are roommates with rings.
“I love you” does not erase deliberate deception.
Love without honesty is danger.

If you were in her shoes, would you feel safe trying again?
Would you trust him with IVF decisions?
With finances?
With medical choices?
This is bigger than genotype.
It is about consent.
It is about truth.
It is about whether intention cancels damage.

For many people, this is a run and do not look back situation.
Not because AS is evil.
But because deceit is.
Take your genotype seriously.
But more importantly, take character seriously.
Because a forged result today can become a forged life tomorrow.

Better is the man that exercise patience than he that is powerful and greater is the man who exercises self control than he that captured a city - prov 16 :32. The said man lacked self control and allowed the lust to rule him and inflicted the pain in the innocent woman. What a bad luck of a man. I will advise the woman to leave. Very sad situation here.

Nice observation...


I didn't think of that before. But I don't think communication is reverting to being physical as it used to be previously.


I think communication generally is reducing. More people are withdrawing into their shells and don't waste their communication anyhow. People now only communicate when is absolutely necessary.

So I don't think it's only online but physically too!

I guess many people like you are yet to come to terms with the fact that the evolution of tech has gotten to a point humans prefer these days to stay glued to communicating with machines automated by pieces of codes than humans. Even contents creation are geared towards holding attention of users down for hours part of the reasons, physical social interaction is diminishing by the day. Haven't you noticed that when you are in the banking hall these days in the midst of many customers waiting to be served , you hardly hear any voice rather almost every one holds a gadget staring directly and interacting with it? It's a disturbing development the world over. Gone were the days where in Such a hall you hear noise as people discuss and interact. So it is these days.
