Peter and Margaret Obi are separated and don't even live together.

Mama Pee will be una first lady. She knows more about Peter Obis daily movement than Margaret.

Facts only.

But buhari chaired his reelection campaign in 2019

Exactly what Nnamdi Kanu would say.

Eba50:
i remember tafawa balewa shaaa. very simple man, no security guard. only him dey ride bike for his place

Yet your people killed him.
When Azikwe and mbadiwe were the most corrupt leaders in that cabinet, with the British writing about their corruption. Killed humble Balewa like a dog though for alleged ‘corruption’.

Authoreety:
He called supporters of this terrible and backward govt , " Animals"

The question is , are you a supporter of APC?

It wasn’t APC supporters he was calling ‘animals’ though. That would be bad enough because he is the only presidential candidate in Nigerian history to call another opponents supporters that.

But he said ‘anyone that tells you they are happy right now are animals’.
Unbelievable!

Nnamdi Kanu sr.
SMH. This is exactly how the IPOB leader used to talk. Simon Ekpa was right all along.

Atiku is suggesting trickle down economics, where cost savings are given to companies, in the hopes that companies will transfer those savings to the customer.

Unfortunately reaganomics doesn't work in real life. You can give tax cuts and subsidies to corporations but they are so greedy they always maximize profits for themselves, whatever savings ends up going to the consumer will be negligible at best.

They will just come up with other excuses for why the cost-saving percentage could not be passed on.eg. global oil demand, war in syria, nepa took light and we had to run generator.
The government will start baby sitting oligarchs whilst getting poorer. Just say you want to make your brother Dangote richer so he can pay back his loan.

Better to just give the funds directly to the populace as a transport allowance, tax refund or other social benefit.

Paul Ibe, spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, says the former vice-president would restore petrol subsidy if elected president in 2027 and phase it out later.

Speaking on AIT, Ibe said the temporary intervention would give Nigerians and businesses room to recover, stimulate economic activity and improve productivity.

He said the proposal would not revive the old subsidy regime but would instead tie government support to crude oil production and domestic refining.
“We are not returning to Egypt. We are not going back to the old regime that was opaque,” Ibe said.

“What he’s simply saying is that the subsidy that he is advocating will be tied to the barrel, the crude oil barrel.

“This is perhaps the only thing that we have in so much abundance that Nigerians have not yet benefited from.”

According to him, crude oil would be supplied to local refiners at a discounted price to enable them produce petrol and diesel at lower costs.
He said the cheaper production cost would ultimately translate into lower pump prices for consumers.

“The crude oil will be sold at a discounted price, subsidised to refiners, and that will enable refiners to be able to produce fuel and diesel at a cheap cost. And when they produce cheaply, they will sell at the real pump price,” he said.

Ibe said an independent committee would determine the appropriate price at the refinery, taking prevailing market conditions into consideration.

He added that although the downstream petroleum sector had been deregulated, government could still monitor prices to ensure that refiners and marketers operated within the framework of the policy.

“There’ll be a window because, of course, we deregulated. You may not fix the price but you can have price monitoring to ensure that everybody aligns with what government hopes to achieve,” he said.

‘IT WILL BE FOR A PERIOD’

Ibe said the proposed intervention would be implemented for a limited period to stimulate economic activity and improve productivity.

“Yes, if you recall, his argument, even in 2023, was that they’re going to have recourse to having a phased removal,” he said.
He criticised the Tinubu administration for removing petrol subsidy alongside other major economic reforms without allowing the economy to adjust.

“No surgeon, no doctor would carry out two or more serious major surgeries, one after the other. They would do one, allow the patient to recuperate, and then undertake the second, or the third,” Ibe said.

“But what has this administration done? The issue of subsidy, flippant. No cabinet. No advisers. Just in the heat of the moment, it has been removed. No shock absorbers. Nothing. No palliatives. Absolutely nothing.”

He said the simultaneous removal of petrol subsidy, deregulation of foreign exchange and electricity subsidy had compounded the economic difficulties facing Nigerians.
be said the proposed intervention was necessary to give Nigerians and businesses room to recover and increase productivity.

“You need to give Nigerians and give manufacturers an opportunity to ensure that there is productivity,” he said.
“There is little or no productivity in this economy because, I mean, you talk about paying salary, that’s what they are doing there. There is no creativity. They’re simply having plenty of naira as a result of the devaluation.”

He said Atiku’s economic plan would also focus on diversifying the economy beyond dependence on crude oil.

“We also need to start thinking about an economy that is beyond the oil economy. We need to diversify our economy,” Ibe said.

Ibe’s comments come amid an ongoing dispute between Atiku and President Bola Tinubu over the former vice-president’s proposal to restore petrol subsidy.

Tinubu had described Atiku’s proposal as evidence of “serious ignorance on governance and economy”.

Atiku subsequently rejected the criticism, saying his proposal was not a return to the old subsidy regime but a targeted, capped, budgeted and independently audited intervention designed to support domestic production.

KingOfAmebo:
***"
Does he have a choice? Eye service congratulations.

Osun election showed Tinubu what matching madness with madness looks like...

Osun election is now a template for 2027 election, If APC brings craze other opposition parties will match that craze with craze, If APC brings madness other opposition parties will match that madness with madness, If APC brings thugs other opposition parties will match that thuggery with thuggery, If APC brings violence other opposition parties with match that violence with violence...

If APC like let them buy votes, people will collect that money and still not vote for them, after all it is the money they stole from us, I saw a video where Osogbo residence where shouting "Ole" to some Governor's convoy after collecting 50k from them and still didn't vote for APC...

If APC like let them do free giveaway in 2027, the Nigerian people are wiser now, Osun election have proven that vote buying don cast...

Well Tinubu likes popular candidates. Adeleke was a popular candidate and wanted to decamp to APC. Osun state APC (oyetola ecspecially) didn’t want him.
The president had to go with his people, but he knew osun people wanted Adeleke to win. That’s why he was walking on eggshells not to wrong his structure and also not to stand against Adeleke.

When efcc suspended funds last week, see how d president responded quickly and reversed efcc decision. Dts how u know.

Meanwhile Adeleke and his supporters are falling over themselves to thank President Tinubu too.

Final vote count in the osun state election:

Accord: 511,067
APC: 444,815
ADC: 17,180
Others: 12,017

Almost 1 million votes casted. This is the largest turnout in osun state history.

The president posted this on his twitter page:

The re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke in the just-concluded Osun election is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our country under the All Progressives Congress administration.

I called Governor Ademola Adeleke
@AAdeleke_01
earlier today to congratulate him on his election victory in Osun State. His victory once again confirmed the confidence the people of Osun State have in him.

I wish him great success as he prepares to lead the state for the next four years. Now that he has won, Governor Adeleke must unite the people of Osun State and rally them for growth, stability, and social and economic progress, regardless of the political choices they made at the election.

I salute the courage and discipline displayed by other contestants in the election. Their participation deepened and enriched our country’s democratic culture. The outcome of the election reflects the will of the people and is a fitting assurance that democracy will continue to flourish in our land.

I must also commend the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security agencies for conducting a peaceful and transparent election that produced a clear winner.

May our democracy continue to thrive and be strengthened

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President

Beautifulday:
He said he will negotiate and talk with them and those who didn't drop their weapons. He will go to war with them.

You no hear that part abi?

So the president will go to the bush because of rag tag terrorists and carry phone to be talking to them.
They will be controlling him like mumu.

What are all the security architecture there for? The guy has a very pedestrian primary school level thought about leadership. Little wonder no adult follows him for long.
Only young career-less content creators.

Cluelessness!

MTN is back after declaring record losses in 2024.

Hope Peter Obi will come and make another statement because he lambasted this government in 2024 when the exchange rate reform caused MTN to make record losses.

.

MTN Nigeria reported a 70.6% increase in profit after tax for the half year ended June, despite macroeconomic pressures in the market.

The telco announced strong growth across key metrics, with subscribers rising 8.9% to 92.2 million and active data users increasing 9.3% to 55.7 million.

The results highlight continued demand for data and digital services.

Service revenue rose 25.9% to N3.0 trillion ($2.2 billion), while EBITDA increased 39.2% to N1.7 trillion ($1.2 billion), with margins up 5.3 percentage points to 55.9%.

Same person that said in an interview last week he will negotiate and talk to terrorists everywhere.

Which is it?

Or he will go to the forest to do the negotiating.


Just lying with every breath.

Doherty is about to be called to order.

Women don't keep quiet. She went to the media.

.

He was sooo happy in that picture. Shows the mood of his tribesmen after they killed all the leaders in the country (implementing the 1st coup) and took over power.

I just thank God Awolowo was in prison at the time, or they would have killed him too. What a horrible way to die, by those you consider your friends.

The pain is much among the obidients.
You shall be okay. Or not.

unite4real:
The Logo is still a problem. That NTA sign is ancestral.

What about the useless cameras they use. Did they change them? What about the audio systems.

Finally, what about the news casters. Did they rebrand those as well?

It should be a total overhaul. A clean modern studio is good to go but those other aspects are crucial.

Watch the video to the end. It’s all changed. There are 3 news studios and all modern equipment and cameras. The final clip in the video is from the new cameras.
Also, the newscasters were never a problem. Some are even better than private newscasters.

Zanotee:
Change that logo too...

True. It should be red like BBC/CNN and would be really crisp on screen.
Red or blue are the crispiest contrasts.

People that were praising JB logo and have zero leadership judgement are waxing lyrical here.

🤣🤣🤣

Mexyz:
Look at that man again!

Just do your job as a civil servant and fulfill your obligations to the Nigerian people, why in God's name are you praising the President?

The President or whichever ministry that did this did not use their personal money, if anyone needs to be praised, it should be the Nigerian people.

Anytime they give them mic like this, they start praising Mr President, Mr Governor/senator and what have you.

You seem very pained that the Director of NTA is praising the President for committing to revamping the NTA studios and delivering on it. He thanked the staff and Nigerians too.
Who else is he supposed to praise?
Obi?

We all know ur messiah would never even think of touching that sector. He’s not that intentional nor bright.

Nigeria decided to step into the 21st century.

Once upon a time in Awolowos country, we had the 1st TV station in subsaharan Africa. Even before some European countries. Some people decided to take us 1 million steps backward and threw the hardworking visionary in prison.

President Tinubu is intentional and I love how he is focused on every sector working.

The new NTA news (video)

Tinubu’s transformation don finally reach NTA too. After 200 years of tanranran… taran taun taun taran 😂

Watch the video and see the new-world-standard NTA studio for yourself 🔥 pic.twitter.com/0HnM3ouHn6

The Presidenccy and the minister wrote these on their twitter pages:

Television broadcast service remains a vital pillar of journalism, with viewers consistently relying on media outlets for daily information. Despite the rise of the digital age, the Nigerian Television Authority continues to bridge the gap between traditional and digital media by striving for quality broadcasting. This commitment is exemplified by the unveiling of a state-of-the-art studio dedicated to enhancing its news broadcasts.

This laudable project is part of the Federal Government’s commitment to transforming Nigeria’s public media landscape with the unveiling of state-of-the-art broadcast studios at the NTA Headquarters in Abuja.

During a tour of the newly upgraded facilities, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said the investment marks a major step toward modernising public broadcasting, enhancing content quality, embracing cutting-edge technology, and positioning Nigerian media to compete on the global stage.

The Director General of NTA, Mallam Salihu Abdulhamid Dembos, affirmed that the new studio sets a broadcast standard capable of standing head-to-head with top global media organizations around the world. .

The new news broadcast studio is equipped with an LED screen, lighting mixer, Blackmagic cameras, advanced camera control systems, a state-of-the-art control room, and the capability to transmit to multiple channels simultaneously

This talk na igbo n ogogoro mix with pepper dey be like this,

This sounds incoherent. The man has been a governor and stated the statistics. At least we all now know the answer to the question’what happened to the money saved from subsidy?’

Reminder - Ex governor Okowa was Atikus running mate in the last election 3 years ago.
