Mr. Obi always claims he's not desperate for the presidency, yet his actions suggest otherwise. There's no shame in his ambition; aspiring for Nigeria's presidency demands dedication and some measure of desperation. He should embrace his drive openly, as it's crucial for such a significant endeavor.

Stealing is the revolution

All Iwobi and his team mates are guilty of is playing to the instruction of their coach. He was told to play deep in the midfield as part of the defensive strategy adopted by the coach.

The boys actually did well getting that far even though most of us did not even give them a chance...at least I know I personally did not expect them to pass the knockout stages.

It was an ok performance. They are still young and there will be many more tourneys to play.

"Marriage is not an achievement..."

This is very easy to say when you are already happily married to the man or woman of your dreams. Just the same way rich people always say "Being rich is not the same as being successful." Ehhhhn I know. But wait let me become rich first and then I can make up my own mind!

Jokes apart, notions like success, happiness, beauty, etc. are all relative to the individual. Our definitions differ from person to person, all factors considered. For instance, you cannot tell a woman who is successful in every regard except in her ability to settle down with a partner, not to view marriage as an achievement worth celebrating. You cannot tell a man who has worked hard his whole life to earn a decent living, that finally overcoming poverty at 55 is not an accomplishment. We need to practice respecting people's individuality and perspectives, even if we do not fully agree.

Like I said, can a couple plan a wedding within a budget of 1 million naira ?
This will include, bride prices, clothes, feeding of guests e.t.c.

1 million naira is more than enough for a wedding. But a lot depends on the kind of wedding and your understanding of what a wedding really is.

To start with, you do not need to invite the whole of your kith and kin for the program. During my wedding, I looked around the hall at the multitude of people and found I did not know more that 15 people in the crowd that well. Truth is that they had no business attending my wedding. You also do not need to have a public wedding or a reception afterwards.

Plan for ONE wedding. There is no need to do both Traditional and English. They are both valid before the law and before God so pick 1. If you want to go English, you can arrange with your pastor to have the wedding in his office with only your parents and witnesses present. If you want to go traditional, you can have it in a living room with only members of the immediate family present. If you must have refreshments after either of the event, and that is a big IF, plan for a crowd of no more than 100, preferably less, and have takeaway packs and drinks. At 4 or 5 thousand per pack, you should be able to keep your budget down. Use your own clothes for the wedding. But if you must wear something extra special, consider renting rather than making them.

Unfortunately, there are some cultures that have turned marriage to a business endeavor so get familiar with the culture of the woman you want to marry and plan accordingly. No gree for anybody

Good luck!

I always try to do away with this but it always builds up again.
I may not be the only one struggling with this.
Although sometimes it has come to help when I suddenly run out of soap.

Option 1 - Put them in a stainless aluminum bowl and put it on low heat on the stove. Let it melt and then pour into any mold of your choice. Leave to cool or pop it in the freezer for a few minutes and voila - you have a new bar of soap. you can use for laundry if you don't want to use it for bathing.

Gov Sanwo-Olu ordered a soldier to be arrested and locked up for riding bike on “one-way” lane Meanwhile, the same Sanwo-Olu was caught driving on “one-way” lane with his long convoy.

This is the life of the average politician in Nigeria. They make rules then use them to oppress the POOR or common Nigerian.

This, in any way, doesn’t exonerate the soldier. He should be made to face the penalty of his unlawful act

Where did you see the governor's convoy driving "one way"?

I have personally encountered the governor's convoy 3 times and I have never seen them driving against traffic.

Besides, even if that were the case, one can consider the governor's movement an emergency or high security movement just like an ambulance, a fire truck or a police truck. That is why they have sirens to signify it is a security or emergency situation.

What exactly was a soldier in mufti's emergency that caused him to ride against traffic, especially when it wasn't as if there was traffic on the right lane?

Wike must really have some strong leverage against Tinubu and the PDP because it is baffling how everyone seems to bend to his will

In my view, this situation is not directly linked to Wike or Fubara. Nigeria's economy is predominantly reliant on a single commodity - oil. Rivers State plays a crucial role in the oil sector, and considering the current economic challenges, any President would take action to prevent the state from descending into chaos, which could disrupt the smooth functioning of the oil industry. It is imperative for the Niger-Delta region to maintain stability for the greater good of the entire country.

EXCLUSIVE: Director-General Of Secret Police, DSS, Yusuf Bichi Lobbying To Be Nigerian Ambassador To Saudi Arabia After Leaving Service – Presidency Source




https://saharareporters.com/2023/12/06/exclusive-director-general-secret-police-dss-yusuf-bichi-lobbying-be-nigerian-ambassador

So kini big deal Is it wrong for a man to aspire to other career prospects? Or is he supposed to roll over and die after his career in the DSS?

LifestyleTonite:
No wonder Obi came third in the last election. He lacks sense and doesn't know when not to talk.

When Soludo and Otti were demolishing houses in Anambra and Abia,. respectively, this LP third-placed candidate kept quiet. Dude now found his voice because it concerns the Lagos they have coveteousness for.

How can you say the timing of the demolition is wrong, all in the name of hardship in the land? When hasn't there ever been hardship on Nigeria and in the world? So, because of hardship, illegalities should be permitted? Armed robbery should also be legalized because of hardship, according to Obi with 419 sense.

He even insinuated that Government ought to not have carried out the demolition now, meaning it should have been postponed. This is another reason why he's not fit to rule Nigeria. So, he means government should continue to permit flooding caused by illegal structures encroaching on waterways in Lagos. Doesn't he know that while the canal's route is blocked, its water gets diverted to other communities which gets flooded. This leads to stagnation of water that causes malaria mosquitoes, typhoid, loss of property and dirty environment. These happen while the illegal criminals enjoy their mansions sited on illegal land. Sadly, when there's a flood, the descendants of those so-called mansion owners will mock Lagos.

What Peter Obi wants is a postponement of doomsday. This was the same way he supported Naira Scarcity. Now he's supporting illegality, yet hopes to lead Nigeria someday.

Below is a photo shared by the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, showing buildings built to block a canal's passage. During raining season, where do the owners of those buildings expect water to pass through? Definitely, the water will find a channel that will lead it to where irs not supposed to go to, there y causing flooding in other communities. Obi wants such buildings to remain standing, whereas he demolished such buildings when he as the Governor of Anambra State.

He's a clown

Interestingly, majority of the affected properties are not owned by the poor. They are owned by rich people who illegally acquire property, block of canals and drainages and generally constitute environmental nuisance. When the resultant floods from these environmental breaches happen, the poor are the most hit. Besides, when is the right time to tackle an illegality?

I understand his need to stay relevant and maintain visibility, but Mr. Obi needs to stop hopping on every trending topic. Sometimes, silence is golden.

So what? What exactly is the point of this "revelation?"

You carry biscuits and juice go your in-law house. In-law wey you dey meet for the first time oooo! Dem accept am with happiness.

Dem cook food for you and you chop am, still come give you bread join. You reject am sake of say e no worth much for ya eye abi?!

Bros na wah for you oooo!

Even if the thing no worth for your eye, shebi you go collect am, tell them thank you and as you waka far small, you take am bless some people wey need am. That way, you would have created a good impression with your potential in-laws.

Na Africa we dey and some of these things are delicate and can be misinterpreted. If their daughter is good enough to marry and their food good enough to eat, you should have accepted their gift as well. No do that kind tin again!

Very entertaining article.

Still does not change the FACT that President Tinubu won the election at the ballots and was also UNANIMOUSLY affirmed winner by the courts. That spells LEGITIMACY in my books.

It really does not matter how many articles written or #NotmyPresident posts on social media. He most likely will be in charge for the next 4 years. We all need to support him to take our nation forward and stop whining.

Jaafar Jaafar

Absolute nonsense! I just wonder why we all keep acting like democracy is all about the people alone. If that were to be so, then it would be a tyranny by the majority and not a democracy.

Yes, democracy is a system where the people have a say in their government. But it is not just about getting the most votes; it's also about following the rules that keep the system fair. These rules, set by the law, apply to political parties and the public. Infact without these laws, there cannot be a democracy.

In democracy, everyone must play by the rules. The laws make sure elections are fair, candidates and parties act responsibly, and any issues are resolved fairly. It's not just about winning votes; it's about winning them the right way – following the law, being transparent, and treating everyone equally.

When rules are broken, the legal system steps in to protect democracy. Courts have the power to review elections and make sure they were done correctly. Even if a candidate gets the most votes, if they didn't follow the rules, a court can step in to make things right and sometimes making things right might involve overturning an election or overruling the "will of the majority."

Think of democracy as a song where votes make the music, and the rule of law keeps everything in tune. Both parts – the people's voice and the legal framework – are crucial. Together, they create a government that truly represents and serves the people, sticking to the principles of fairness and justice that make democracy work.

So let us not keep acting like the courts are doing anything untoward by over turning election results. That is a normal and acceptable part of democratic best practice anywhere in the world. Elections do not always end at the end of the ballot. Where the results are disputed, parties are required to approach the courts for justice. The alternative to this provision of democracy is a descent into anarchy and I do not think we want that.

He says he moves in stealth and doesn't want anyone to know. Really?

And a smart investigative journalist like him thinks another journalist won't see his so called stealth move on a public platform thereby making it a non stealth move in the first place.

Don't mind the clown. The same guy that publishes threads on X almost on a daily basis to the cheers of his deluded groupies is talking about "stealth". I honestly don't know who is worse between him and his gullible followers.

This Hundeyin character is quite the master of deception, one might say a "Class A" scam artist. He consistently conjures up persuasive narratives to feed his ever-eager and trusting group of followers. After leading them down a primrose path for weeks with promises of a groundbreaking release of classified FBI documents, he returns with a disappointing and deflating statement, placing the blame squarely on "Nigerian journalists" for the failure of his scheme. It begs the question: when will his devotees begin to see through his grand deceit?

In Nigeria, there is absolutely no reward for labour. Here in UK, it’s a pay as you go thing and you get what you work for, everything is just fine and working.

Mind you, Nigerians are law abiding citizens but the political and government structure is the major problem.

As a Nigerian I believe we are all ready for economic growth and development if the government put all resources in place. It’s quite pathetic but life in England is sweet if you have money

1. The UK did not become this "fine and working" country in a day.

2. It is not quite true that there is "absolutely no reward for labour" in Nigeria.

3. We, the people of Nigeria, are just as culpable as our leadership for what Nigeria is. Our leaders are not from another country.

4. When we the people get an understanding that we have no other country but Nigeria, we will stop being so self-deprecating, roll up our sleeves and get to work building our country...like citizens of others countries did and are still doing.

There is no grammar to modify criminality.
Tinubu forged the certificate he tendered to inec.
CSU publicly denied the certificate tendered to inec. CSU boldly said it did not come from them.
Infact , tinubu not only engaged in forgery. His documents reveal identity theft, false informations like the so called government college, discrepancies in age, etc. So much criminalities.

Tinubu himself, in Chatham house before the election told the world that he has received his " replacement certificate" from CSU.
CSU under oath said , we did not issue him.

Any person trying to dilute or cover these criminalities is also a criminal.
Mr kperogi, I advice you keep quiet else we officially baptize you as a criminal accomplice.

Yoy are obviously one of those suffering from the syndrome the writer desceibes in the paragraph below.

"This issue has demonstrated to me in starkly dramatic terms how partisan blinders can distort people's perception of reality. When people so badly want something to be true, but it turns out to be untrue, they choose to hang on to the most absurd apophenic hallucinations (i.e., seeing predetermined patterns from a chaos of unrelated phenomena) they can invoke to validate their preconceptions. I've studied and taught this phenomenon for years but had never seen it manifest on a mass scale like this."

Coming after the extensive deposition by CSU explaining most of these so-called discrepancies, these analysis is just a long and well constructed piece of junk. We really need to look to the supreme court now for the final position on this matter after which I hope we can move on to more serious issues of governance.

She is married and a senior in my department. She never got tired complimenting my eloquence-always says she likes the way i speak.

Yesterday,she cosied up to my desk,as usual and said,in the presence of fellow colleagues,"Baby...oh,sorry,mr bla bla bla..."

Everyone was gobsmacked cos that's the same way she addresses her hubby who ocassionally drops her at work.

Now tongues have been wagging on account of that incidence-that both of us are probably...

I tried to dismiss the matter by saying that it was a freudian slip but my colleagues who were not having any of it,just told me to be careful.

Wahala dey o!

She probably is feeling all warm and fuzzy about you. But do not encourage it. If you can keep the friendly and professional relationship going without getting caught up in any complicated situations, you can. If not, stay away from her.

Work place relationships can get very complicated, moreso with a senior, female and married colleague. There will probably be some short-term gains but in the long run, you will find yourself trapped in the dead centre of a huge minefield. Don't do that to yourself.

This is a step in the right direction as long as the DSS undertakes a painstaking investigation to establish the facts so they do not end up punishing the innocent.

The ease with which sensitive documents and information leak on social media is disturbing. It endangers national security and even exposes the public to harm. It is a highly unpatriotic and treasonable act and must be nipped in the bud.

So DSS is the automatic attack dog of any APC president. To think that DSS is the American equivalent of the CIA. Them really destroy this country

DSS is actually the equivalent of the American Secret Service and FBI. They are the elite internal intelligence agency.

There is an organisation called the Nigeria Intelligence Agency that is the equivalent of the CIA. They, like the CIA, are responsible for Nigeria's external intelligence.

Nigeria is currently facing severe economic challenges, and while subsidy removal is not the silver bullet it is made out to be, it is a crucial part of actions that the government can take to stabilize the economy. The immediate effects will be dire but FG can effectively mitigate the consequences for its citizens by diverting part of the proceeds saved from subsidy removal to implement the following palliative solutions.

Implement targeted social welfare programs: The government should introduce comprehensive social welfare programs aimed at providing financial assistance and support to vulnerable segments of society affected by subsidy removal. These programs can include direct cash transfers, food subsidies, and healthcare provisions, ensuring that basic needs are met for those most affected by the removal of subsidies.

Encourage investment in alternative energy sources: In order to alleviate the burden on citizens and reduce dependence on petroleum products, the government should actively promote and incentivize the adoption of alternative energy sources. This could involve providing tax breaks and subsidies for renewable energy projects, as well as promoting research and development in clean energy technologies. By diversifying the energy sector, Nigeria can reduce its reliance on petroleum and create new employment opportunities.

Strengthen public transportation infrastructure: With the removal of petroleum subsidies, transportation costs are likely to increase, affecting the livelihoods of many Nigerians. To address this issue, the government should prioritize the improvement and expansion of public transportation systems. This can involve investing in the development of efficient and affordable mass transit systems, such as buses and trains, and expanding their coverage across the country. By enhancing public transportation options, citizens can have access to more affordable means of commuting, mitigating the impact of increased fuel prices.

Above all, the government also needs to lead by example by drastically cutting down the cost of governance and plugging holes in revenue leakage.

No negative social media posts during Tinubu’s inauguration until foreign leaders leave: National Security Adviser

There is no part of the actual article that correlates with the silly headline. The NSA did not say anything about social media. He was referring to the inconveniences that would be suffered by residents due to the heightened security measures before and during the inauguration. He stated that though they were not envisaging any thing negative, residents should bear the inconveniences until the guests depart the country. He wasn't talking about social media posts!

At this rate, Obi will blame APC and Tinubu if he gets stuck in traffic.

That said, I just hope this isn't another tall tale because the man has a knack for spinning every occurrence to his advantage. He has a hyperactive imagination and a ready pool of fans to lap up and run with anything he says without questioning.

Is UK immigration trying to say that they do not have a clear record of the comings and goings of a VIP like Peter Obi so much so that they would mix him up with an impersonator?

The story does not add up in my opinion. Sounds more like a kite is being flown here. But I may be wrong and I hope they catch the "impersonator" soon.
