Wetin consign FG with state metro? Tomorrow they'd start complaining about lack of funds. It's now clear that our own type of democracy is a scam. Tinubu often beats his chest as one who fought for democracy, but here is doing anything but democracy —by stifling opposition through monetary lure or EFFC hunt etc

BrickDevo:
4 years in Nigeria don't have stable electricity, what is actually the problem

AMINDA:
Audio. But wouldn't he have approved it if the governor didn't decamp to the APC? This simply means the president is using our common patrimony selectively in such a way that will grant him unfair political advantage. It's a subtle abuse of office that is tending towards dictatorship. Governance should be separated from politics. This is no different from how Lucius Cornelius Sulla became the first dictator of Rome.

The Federal Government has approved the construction of a ₦1 trillion Metropolitan Rail Service in Kano State, a major infrastructure project aimed at overhauling urban transportation, reducing traffic congestion, and driving economic growth in the state’s metropolitan area.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf announced the approval while addressing members of the Kano State contingent that participated in the 2025 National Qur’anic Recitation Competition in Borno State.

The governor revealed that his administration’s decision to realign with the Federal Government, led by the All Progressives Congress (APC), was strategic and intended to secure critical development projects for Kano.

The new rail service will provide a modern, efficient, and affordable mass transit system connecting key districts across the metropolis. It is expected to improve resident mobility, facilitate trade, attract investment, and enhance the overall quality of life.

Governor Yusuf described the project as a landmark intervention that will reposition Kano as a leading, transportation hub in Northern Nigeria.

He assured residents that the state government will collaborate closely with relevant federal agencies to ensure transparent execution and maximum benefits for the people of Kano.

The governor expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for the initiative and reiterated his administration’s commitment to supporting federal efforts through complementary policies and infrastructure development.

The announcement was contained in a statement issued by Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Director General of Media and Publicity, Government House, Kano.

Those who sabi are aligning with Apc because they see potential future prosperity with the party leading Nigeria .

But the sons and daughters of nobody will be hiding behind their keyboard to be threatening president Tinubu's reelection.

They are Ajoka

In a meeting that bridged the worlds of politics, sports, and business, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), welcomed legendary Nigerian footballer Nwankwo Kanu to his residence in Abuja.

The visit featured engaging discussions on how to harmonize and enhance the interplay between these three key facets of society politics, sports, and business for greater national benefit.

Professor Yilwatda emphasized the value of understanding these domains deeply, noting that "politics, sports, and business can be very interesting if understood." The conversation explored ways to achieve better balance and synergy among them, drawing on Kanu's extensive experience as a former Super Eagles captain, UEFA Champions League winner, Premier League star with Arsenal, and current influential figure in Nigerian sports administration and philanthropy through his Kanu Heart Foundation.

Nwankwo Kanu, widely regarded as one of Nigeria's greatest football exports and affectionately known as "Papilo," has long transcended the pitch, engaging in business ventures and community development initiatives.

This cordial encounter underscores the growing intersections between Nigeria's political leadership and iconic sports figures, fostering dialogue on holistic national development.

Baxilexi:
An embodiment of premium negotiating skills, behavioral economics and tactical empathy.

Never splitting the difference.

That’s why it’s good to have professionals/technocracy’s at the helm of affairs driving the nation. Imagine former AfDB president as Nigerian president.

Instead we’ve got a geriatric corruption infested manipulator.

Construction on the Ilorin–Jebba–Mokwa Road is now 81% complete, with about 80km already laid with wearing course.

The project, under the FG’s infrastructure renewal drive, will improve safety, cut travel time, and boost connectivity.

Commendations go to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Works Minister Professor Engr. David Umahi for driving the progress.

Today, the EFCC has just recovered a whopping ₦1.27 billion from the businessman, Olasijibomi Ogundele, and handed it over to the Enugu State Government after first declaring him wanted and obtaining a court order to detain him.

Have you noticed that nobody has raised any ethnic sentiments? Not a single person.

But the minute the EFCC goes after a high-profile politician, businessman, or celebrity, who is not from the President's ethnic nationality, everybody will rise and shout that such a person is being persecuted because of his ethnicity.

Why isn't Olasijibomi Ogundele being persecuted for his ethnicity?

Listen, for Nigeria to progress as a nation, we must downplay ethnicity and promote objectivity.

If anyone is being prosecuted by the EFCC, the only argument in their defence from the dramatis personae and their supporters must be that they are innocent, not that they are being punished because they are from such and such a place or belong to this or that opposition party.

Political economist and African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Prof. Pat Utomi, has declared that he is more prepared to lead Nigeria than President Bola Tinubu and other leading opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general election.

Utomi made the assertion on Sunday while speaking on Politics Today, where he reflected on his political journey, opposition coalition talks, and what he described as Nigeria’s deepening democratic and governance crisis.

According to him, his long-standing commitment to principled politics and consistent party affiliation set him apart from other contenders.

“Has it ever occurred to you that I am more qualified than all of them — including Bola Tinubu — in terms of preparation to lead Nigeria? To be honest, I have never left the ADC since 2007,” Utomi said.
