Portugal Spain and eastern Europe no be abroad ooh, Greece na kpatapkata owu

And the GCC states nko?

Nigerians, stop wasting your meagre savings trying to japa to Qatar, the UAE, Oman and Kuwait.

No jobs in those hell-holes o, never mind wetin thieving agents, your fake friends or family there are telling you.

Only pain, suffering and regrets await.

Modo called them 'dummies in uniform' for a reason.

Such useless elements in our society.

Alliswell248:
Peter obi, the content creator is wasting his time. He is unfit for the number one seat.

A third class philisophy graduate want to preside over professors and intellectuals.

Jokers

What do you mean he is unfit? I talk am say you no well, ore.
A 90-year-old certificateless drug lord is already doing so over professors and intellectuals in the country.

So I reckon Peter Obi is much of an upgrade on the current situation 🤔.

badoh:
Is Taiwo Oyedele a criminal or does he have EFCC cases? Is the Minister for interior a criminal? Is the Minister for health a criminal? Some of these people just talk rubbish immediately they are out of power and things are no more in their favour. Professor of nonsense talking without sense. If they investigate him now, he would have substantial amount of Edo State funds he stole when he was the governor. I just hate it when they begin to paint themselves as saint without blemish whereas na lie.

Ever heard something called 'Hyperbole'? It is a well-used figure of speech - one of which I am sure even elementary school kids are very much aware.

Alliswell248:
Is Seyi Tinubu a dropout or a third class philosophy backdoor graduate like peter the content creator

I don't think all is well with you as your moniker seems to suggest.

We are talking football administration here, not Amala Politics.

Oun naa fe eniyan to da fi s'ore. Orisirisi

What in the world would Shehu (RIP), a clean man in and out, be doing being friends with Baba 90?

Question for the e-rats

TheStoriesOfMan:
Chai...Gyokeres wey hot for Sporting that year. Football is funny.

The Portuguese league is mid na.

Farmers' league just like their friends in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Gyokeres' real level don show for England.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Na to do swap deal, then the clubs go drop small money for Arsenal.

United no go want am if we wan run am for Sesko.

Even Spurs no go like Gyokeres as e dey now

Reference:
He was not Arteta's choice last season's transfer window.
Arteta wanted the guy that ended up at United.
I think Berta was swayed by statistics.
It hasn't worked out and the steep bill continues to sting.
Both Arteta and Berta should thank their stars that the title was won if not their judgement will have come under serious scrutiny.

Sesko would have been great at Arsenal sha.

But if Gyokeres knows what's good for him, he better go Brighton or one of these newly promoted sides in January. It will be a long long season for him.

Gyokeres go too chop bench this season ehn.

Second game in a roll wey e no even feature.

Lost the faith of his manager no doubt.

Kalulu44:
With the way it's going so far, are you still seeing such result.
Rmbr Villa always beat Arsenal at their patch for the past 3 season

Dem go chop two quick-fire goals in the second half.
Just chill make Bruno enter fes.

Kobojunkie:
I hope he gets his pay out. Everyone in Nigeria at that time knew that Deeper Lifers were people who also didn't watch TV. 🤣🤣🤣

Had a DL neighbour like that growing up as a child in Festac. Probably the grumpiest man you would find in any neighbourhood of the 90s.

Never passed up an opportunity to seize our ball.

Hated his guts dieee

Get in, Arsenal abeg!

I wanna see Mr Good Ebening cry hot tears tonight.

E no go shake hands if we pound am - that's for sure.

Tareq1105:
I wish Tinubu would agree to step aside for Obi and allow Nigerians to see his ineptitude and see how empty this most hyped presidential candidate is.

He doesn't need to step aside lest he continues to think himself invincible. He will simply be shown the door via our electoral process to cement how unpopular he's always been.

Strip him of all the money he has and even an ewure wouldn't vote him.

100%

Pollion:
It is refreshing to see an approach that prioritizes breaking down the underlying production and refining costs rather than relying solely on international benchmarks.

Even Gbenga don dey look like a more credible candidate than that excuse of an incumbent.

Atiku, Obi, Hashim - and Tinubu, now suddenly looking a distant 4th that nobody wants to touch

The assignment na to bring back our subsidy and kick out the devils profiting from the suffering of millions of poor Nigerians

Bluntemperor:
How Can Kano be ahead of Lagos by over N20 Billion-on Education,
For a State boasting of NTrillions Budgets !
So,what happens Governor Sanwo-Olu ?🙁😥.
•Something is Not adding up!

You forget say elections dey by the corner.

Omo, the day another party go take the reins from Lagos APC ehn, kasala of multitude proportions go burst for the whole Nigeria

Who go blame these visionless olodo governors when at the federal, budget allocation no reach 8% in the agberocracy and lootocracy Nigeria seems to be running? Na 15-20% the United Nations advice o but you see that our 90-year-old man ehn. All he does is chochocho - all talk, no action worthy of note.


As we speak, light no dey o..Come wonder wetin go happen to us when AI fully takes over the world economy.

Na that last kick you dey see so wey go send your principal back to Iragbiji.

Dey dia dey write elementary school level literature.

Mindlog:
Tinubu has more confidence in his European medical team.😂😂😂

He should be ashamed of himself.

Beautifulday:
Just imagine a drug dealer as our president. What will we tell the future generations?

Elementary school pupils today are watching their country being ruled by an election rigger, a certificate forger and a former drug lord.

Chimooo!

One good look at the 90-year-old with his baggages and you know exactly why Nigeria is in the terrible state that it is today.

We've never had it so bad as a people.

CharlesCNG:
Morning. Yes — and thank you for asking because the documentary proof is actually quite explicit.

First, on whether this ever went beyond a Glomar response:

On April 8, 2025, U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell ruled in Greenspan v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, Civil Action No. 23-1816, that the FBI and DEA’s Glomar responses concerning Tinubu were IMPROPER and “must be lifted.”

Even more importantly, her conclusion ordered: “The FBI and DEA must search for and process non-exempt records responsive to the FOIA requests.”

The CIA’s Glomar response, by contrast, was upheld. So there is really no ambiguity here: the FBI/DEA matter went beyond Glomar by express order of the federal court.

Here is the judgment itself:
[Judge Beryl Howell’s April 8, 2025 memorandum opinion](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/district-of-columbia/dcdce/1:2023cv01816/256792/48/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Secondly, you asked an excellent question: when exactly did the U.S. Government “publicly acknowledge” that Tinubu was a subject of the wider investigation? Was there a press conference?

No. And this is where the legal meaning of “official acknowledgment” matters. The acknowledgment came through OFFICIAL U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COURT FILINGS in 1993.

On July 26, 1993, DOJ filed a verified civil forfeiture complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. That complaint expressly incorporated by reference the affidavit of IRS Special Agent Kevin Moss.

Judge Howell ruled that because DOJ incorporated the Moss affidavit into its own complaint, DOJ legally adopted the affidavit’s statements as its own. She further explained that public DOJ court filings constitute official acknowledgment binding DOJ components such as the FBI and DEA.

Then comes Howell’s crucial finding:
Taken together, she held, those materials constituted an “official acknowledgment that Tinubu was one subject of a criminal investigation” involving, among others, the FBI and DEA.

That is why the FBI and DEA could no longer say: “We can neither confirm nor deny that such an investigation existed.”

DOJ itself had already confirmed it through its own public court filing. One important qualification, however:“Subject of an investigation” is NOT “criminally convicted.”

The ruling establishes that an investigation existed and defeats the FBI/DEA’s blanket Glomar response. It does NOT magically convert an investigation into a criminal conviction of Tinubu.

And none of this is unusual in American law. That is precisely why I cited the Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago case: courts can compel disclosure, reject blanket secrecy, and still permit lawful redactions protecting privacy, witnesses or investigative methods.

FOIA opens files. It does not pronounce guilt. So the documentary position is actually very clear:

YES — FBI and DEA originally issued Glomar responses. YES — Judge Howell expressly ruled those Glomar responses improper and ordered them lifted.

YES — Judge Howell held that DOJ had officially acknowledged Tinubu as one subject of the wider investigation and ordered the FBI and DEA to process responsive non-exempt records. But keep the calendar in view.

We are talking about an investigation dating back to 1992–93 — roughly 33 to 34 YEARS AGO — not a fresh FBI investigation of Tinubu in 2025 or 2026.

And about a decade after that investigation, in February 2003, the U.S. Consulate in Lagos responded to an inquiry from Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police after an FBI National Crime Information Center check. The result was negative for any criminal arrest record, want or warrant concerning Bola Tinubu.

That 2003 letter does NOT prove there was never an investigation — Judge Howell’s ruling now confirms there was one. But it does make an important distinction: INVESTIGATED IN THE EARLY 1990s does not mean ARRESTED, WANTED OR A FUGITIVE.

And today's FOIA litigation is about disclosure of records from that decades-old investigation. It is not evidence that the FBI has suddenly reopened a criminal case against Tinubu 33 years later.

NO — that official acknowledgment did not come from a press conference. It came from DOJ’s own publicly filed 1993 forfeiture complaint incorporating the Moss affidavit.

And NO — none of that is itself a criminal conviction.

I hope that helps your discussion with Ottersberger. The judgment itself is the best evidence because we don't have to rely on what either Tinubu’s supporters or opponents say. Judge Howell wrote it in black and white.

This one dey quote himself with his alternate moniker thinking he has anyone fooled on here

Propaganda no go save your messiah. GET THAT INTO YOUR HEAD.

His much-talked about legacy is nothing but a lie. A HUGE FAT ONE AT THAT!

Lord save Nigeria from the APC.

We have never experienced propaganda so wild as we have since 2015.

Imalwayshorny:
Can pastor adeboye do that in Nigeria

Nibo?

Nigerian so-called MOGs are a rare breed.

Just give them money. Keeps them happy.

nairalanda1:
It's.not a matter of propaganda, it's a matter of accepting the cold reality that a subsidy cannot cover the production and margin costs of the industry .

The best Atiku can do should he win is to revive NNPC old fuel pipelines and connect Dangote refinery to it so that fuel can be pumped across the nation , reducing transport costs well well.

Also, we are getting some more refineries since the cost of domestic refining now makes sense in a subsidy absent environment. That means more jobs and more improvement in the lives of the masses.

Subsidy would just lead to.danogte refinery becoming trash and people losing jobs. And a hefty debt bill

No quote me again make I no swear for you.

Policy wey make it such that Minimum wage no fit buy 50 litres for the ordinary man na eim you dey here dey yarn okpata on?

Atiku will win and subsidy will be back.

You and your yeye paymasters should go and choke on that!

nairalanda1:
All the sane economists like Ngozi Okonjo iweala have supported subsidy removal.

Problem with subsidy is that government has to pay enough money to cover the operating costs and profit margins of the petroleum industry, which is difficult to do and would lead to borrowing and debt because these costs can pass any money government allocates for subsidy

Same Okonjo Iweala stated explicitly that economic reforms like this mean nothing if the ordinary citizens are suffering. .

Do you take her for your Oyedele abi other yeye medicores currently serving in this administration?

Quit the propaganda, this boy. Won't work on hungry people.

1vandragon:
Nigeria is a very interesting country...

Using Naira rates, a litre of PMS in US is about #1450... on the average

In Nigeria, a litre of PMS is about #1300 on the average.

But in US, the minimum wage is about #1.7m p/m.

In Nigeria, minimum wage is #70k...

Yet, some people think it is OK to leave the masses to the vagaries and economics of the international market...

Accountant isonu wey call himself president is to blame for this shii.

What sane economist does that?

Not to worry, in a matter of months, Atiku will put him and this hyper-capitalist where they belong.

Enough of this scam!

Needs to let it work with Atleti this season or he will be gone by the next.

Last season was just a cameo. He's got to prove that he's got it to Simeone and the fans and stay consistent this time around.

If they do well, just fast-track them to the senior team and get them playing under a good manager.
The Super Falcons desperately need fresh legs and real ambition.

Those eleribu Internet trolls in the US did vandalise his WiKi page tho, to paint him as some white supremacist but e no work.

No be for Peter Cullen matter, una go spoil my childhood nostalgia.

RIP Legend!
