Omooba77:This man's "god" is obviously a gambler and political speculator. The heavenly God is known for his precision and exactitude. He is not confused and does not permutate. |
etokhana:The thing be say everybody "Sabi do am" until they get elected and realize the monumental challenges with navigating the public sector in a complex country like ours. May God grant the President and all those in authority the wisdom and the courage to do all that is necessary to turn the tide. |
ijekul:Well, since the convention was moved in protest against the state of emergency in Rivers State, the honorable thing for the NBA to do is to also return the 300 million naira "gift" from the State government. Abi? ![]() |
God1000:The woman must have been pregnant for at least 9 months. Didn't he at least make some plans for the delivery? 🤔 If you knew you didn't have any cash, why take her to a private hospital and not a public hospital where the process is subsidized by government? Frankly speaking, this man is more culpable in his wife's death than the hospital. 😡 |
Sheuns:No that is not correct. Arewa is simply the Hausa word for North or Northern. It does not refer to the people but to the North as a cardinal point. Northerners are referred to as Mutannen Arewa - People of the North. The other cardinal points are Yamma - West, Gabas - East and Kudu - South. The north is also quite diverse in history, culture and traditions. The only thing that really binds the tribes together is Islam as a religion. But Christianity and Animism is still widely practiced especially among the Hausa tribes. |
shortgun:Lol. How do you ban a legal citizen of Nigeria from any state? Is that even legal? Or are we happy with this pronouncement since it's against a man that we love to hate? |
shortgun:Lol. How do you ban a legal citizen of Nigeria from any state? Is that even legal? A cabinet minister? Or are we happy with this pronouncement since it's against a man that we love to hate? |
ogododo:Why do Nigerian politicians enjoy making vacuous statements? What does "Fubara remains Rivers State governor" mean? Can he exercise any of the powers of River State governor at the moment? Can he step into government house? Can he access the State's accounts? NO!!! So what state governor is he ![]() This statement is like those empty nonsense people say at funeral's to make themselves feel good. You hear crap like "he lives in our hearts"! No he doesn't! He is freaking dead and gone, never to be seen again. There are 2 options open to Fubara - one is to brief his lawyers to open up a case to challenge his suspension in court OR accept his suspension in good faith and use the 6 months to create channels of rapprochement with the law makers and the Presidency. |
MadamExcellency:You dey Nairaland dey throw mouth while the members of the Assembly dey compile signatures for impeachment. Una too get mouth. |
Islie:The chairman of the Ethics committee did not suspend Senator Akpoti; the Ethics committee constituted of Senators across gender and party lines, voted overwhelmingly to place her on suspension. While concerns about the chairman's history are valid, I really do not see what it has to do with this current situation and further speaks to Senator Akpoti's vendetta against the Senate. Everyone will be alright. |
press9jatv:Step aside, yes! Resign NO...except he is personally inclined to, of course. |
fergie001:Senator Fasuyi never mentioned sexual assault in his statement before the senate. He stated Senator Natasha falsely accused Fayemi of selling Ajaokuta steel mill to himself. Secondly, Fayemi never called Senator Fasuyi a liar. |
OLAADEGBU:I wait to see the reason gor arresting the woman and what they intend to charge her with because to my mind, she's done nothing against the law. |
Osazeidehen:I knew it was only a matter of time before Senator Natasha plays this card. That is the standard go-to for women when they realize they have thoroughly messed up - pull out the "sexual assault" card and play victim to sway public opinion in their favor. While I do not wish to dismiss her allegations outright, it is curious that she chose this moment to go public—especially when it boils down to her word against the Senate President’s. More so, it raises the question of how this accusation connects to her earlier refusal to adhere to Senate protocol by declining to move to her reassigned seat, a directive that other affected senators complied with without incident. That said, I strongly believe this allegation should be thoroughly investigated. If Senator Akpabio is found guilty, he must be held accountable—public officials should not be allowed to abuse their power. However, Senator Natasha should also be investigated for disregarding Senate authority during last week’s proceedings. Accountability should go both ways. |
LibertyRep:Very possible. That's why I used "probably." But here's the thing: even if you are not a business person, you buy things in today's market. As a consumer, you definitely have felt the impact of inflation. Compare the price of things in 2013 and now. Compare the price of fuel, foreign exchange, etc. We all complain about poor network quality and call on the networks to improve. But we are still paying the same rates for calls and data since 2013? Please let's be real and fair to these businesses. |
LibertyRep:You are probably doing business and have increased your price by over over 200% in the last year. Yet you want the telecoms to charge the same cost since 2013? Is that not wickedness ![]() |
COFFINSELLER:I can bet that the fraud Hundeyin tweeted the crypto thingy himself. Just another chapter in his deception aimed at his gullible followers. |
Posterity will remember Sanwoolu as one of the best governors of Lagos because of the sheer number of big-ticket projects he was able to start and deliver during his tenure. From roads, to bridges, to trains, to hospitals, to security; the man has made his mark on virtually every sector. Now I just wish he could set the ball rolling on the Lagos power autonomy plan. Lagos needs to develop its own autonomous power grid for efficiency. |
Omo, the roads in Satellite Town were a complete mess before, but most have now been transformed. Under Sanwoolu government, the area has gotten a new lease of life. The stretch from Navy Gate to Close 1 Junction is still under construction, but progress is ongoing, and I have no doubt it will be completed soon. The next challenge is stopping the heavy-duty trucks from parking on the roads, or they’ll deteriorate again. Kudos to Governor Sanwoolu. |
Islie:I’ve said this before, under Nigerian law, the police don’t always need a search warrant to enter a property. While Section 37 of the Constitution protects the right to privacy and generally requires a warrant issued by a magistrate or judge, the law also makes room for exceptions. There are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule. For instance If there’s an emergency, like a threat to life, public safety, or the risk of evidence being destroyed, the police can act without waiting for a warrant. They’re also allowed to enter if they’re chasing a suspect, have reasonable grounds to believe a crime is happening inside, or if the occupant agrees to let them in. There are also specific laws, such as those dealing with the customs or anti-terrorism, that allow searches without a warrant under certain conditions. Even under US law, police can sometimes force access if the have "probable cause" to believe there is a need to. The challenge for them is that if the citizen chooses to exercise their rights, the police may have to prove that "probable cause" before a judge or have whatever "evidence gathered during the raid squashed. These is not to excuse the actions of the Nigerian Police of showing up for raids dressed like touts and wearing face masks. They should come dressed in their official rigs clearing showing they are police men. |
olaNL:Oh wow! Now all he needs to do is wait another 14 years, get his mother to cry on a podcast and he will be released on pardon by another government. At least he learnt from the last time to not use a deadly weapon for his operation. |
Pidom and David are birds of a feather. How people don't see through the SCAM that is David Hundeyin is amazing. Time exposes all. |
There is a whole lot of other factors apart from years left in service, that go into the appointment of any member of the security council of any country. May the DIG's soul rest in peace. |
trendingnigeria:The funny thing is that Toyin was just playing her character in the movie where she tells copious lies unprovoked. Bimbo neither bought a new car nor a house in reality. Ini Edo missed the plot. But the publicity, though negative, is helping to promote Toyin's movie. ![]() |
obedience4:While deeply unfortunate, the complex nature of counter-terrorism operations in Northern Nigeria often requires the armed forces to act swiftly on intelligence to maintain tactical advantage. The situation is further complicated by the presence of terrorist sympathizers among the local population and saboteurs within the military ranks themselves. Though regrettable, such unfortunate incidents can sometimes occur given these challenging circumstances. While I empathize with this poor villagers, their plight should serve as a sobering warning to those in other regions contemplating armed resistance or insurgency. Before allowing your homeland to become a battlefield for any reason, you would do well to consider the consequences. There is a proverb that say if you gather ant-infested firewood, you shouldn't be surprised when lizards come to visit. |
Racoon:Governor Sanwoolu has publicly denied any involvement in directing the institution of a legal case on his behalf. He clarified that neither he nor his administration is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Therefore, there is no necessity for him to initiate any legal action. |
NLCreator: |
Kreesxxx:Deji obviously has the brain of a delinquent 16 year old child...speaks and sometimes acts like one too. |
DesChyko:This Hundeyin fraud and his coterie of ignoramuses are so amusing. This excerpt the clown is flaunting as evidence that President Tinubu is a CIA asset is what is know as a Glomar Response. It is a standard response that US agencies like CIA, FBI and even police give to most FOIA requests. You can read about Glomar response here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomar_response |
ogododo:This is great news. Very soon, all countries will shut their doors on Africa. When we have no where to run to, maybe we will wake up to the reality of fixing our continent. We have contributed immensely to building other countries. Let's look towards home and insist on the changes we would like to see. |
lexy2014:I do not know what Fubara should offer them. Politicians know how they do their horse trading and if Fubara is one, then he should know what to do. The legislators represent their people just like the 4 that are loyal to Fubara. |
Starpro87:So that is my point exactly - Wike has nothing to lose. Fubara has everything to lose as the current governor of the state. He has most of the various odds stacked against him. He has managed to piss off the structure he rode to power, he does not enjoy legislative support, he does not enjoy judicial support and now he seem to be losing the FG's support. His goons are threatening to cut off oil exploration but let us not forget that Wike has his own goons as well...infact I daresay most of Fubara's goons used to be Wike's goons. Besides, I don't think Tompolo is going to just allow anyone to ruin his highly patriotic deal with the FG, securing pipelines across the Delta. Fubara needs to toe the path of wisdom. Call the renegade legislators to a round table and make them an offer they cannot refuse. I am sure they are men that can be reasoned with. |
