Question is where and how did obasanjo get 700m dollars?

It's called Goodwill capital investment, Obasanjo is both a military and political collussus in Nigeria and Africa, Investors can pull resources together under his guidance and administration because of the enormous goodwill and clout he possesses

Jorussia:
To Recall a legislator in Nigeria is impossible.The conditions are very stringent and can't scale through.If during elections voter turnout is usually around 25% of registered voters,I don't know where anybody can get over 50% registered voters to make a recall possible.Personally,I don't like Akpabio,he is too greedy and diabolic.

The nonsense Akpabio did to NDDC as minister of Niger Delta affair,is still fresh in my mind.Akpabio sat upon NDDC for 4 years without any project executed during this time.I am from Niger Delta,i believe there is an element of truth concerning the sexual allegations of senator Natasha against Akpabio.The stories i heard about the personality of Akpabio as governor were not good at all.

Not good? They are horrible and criminal stories about him, the has an insatiable appetite for sex, he is actually an addict, he is wasting his time in politics as his calling should have been a IndecentStar, go to the streets of Akwa Ibom and ask a female street hawker about Akpabio sexcapades and they will tell you stories, All this top female Nollywood stars buying flashy cars and houses are his favorites, that such a men is the third most powerful citizen in Nigeria is heartbreaking

If I were PO with the massive support base he has I would not quit the labour party and port to another party and now become an outsider there, the labour party gave him the platform that turned him into a formidable and mass movement in Nigeria, stay within and fight it out, Tinubu greatest strength is that he has never jumped ship from his party before they merged with CPC and defeated PDP, likewise Buhari too, isn't there a lesson to be learnt there? But if PO wants to copy Atiku prostitution type politics then let's see how far that will take him.

But NNPCL Can sell crude for him in Dollar right?

Thanks 🙏, there lots of ignoramuses here who don't understand basic economic principles, The FG out of socioeconomic reasons agreed to sell crude to Dangote in naira to among other things bring prices of fuel and other commodities down including diesel, the same FG has now refused to continue with the naira for crude arrangements out of sheer blackmail, envy and pecuniary interest of the cabal that has held us by the jugular for years and they aren't about to just let go of thier free money, so what do you expect Dangote to do, buy in dollar's and sell in naira? C'mon guys quit being intellectually lazy

OP Naptun welldone for such comprehensive and thorough job you have done with this piece, you deserve a standing ovation, there has been countless times that I want to quit nairaland because of the level of abuses, hatred and ignorance by people but people like you are the reason we are still here, please kindly look into other areas that is crying for knowledge and post at least a story monthly, if you do then you will in no time be crowned as the most prolific and followed nairalander

Fubara biggest problem is his advisers who are self seeking opportunists, In the first instance an ijaw has never been Governor before Wike ditched Magnus Abe And Tonye for Fubara who was an unknown person politically, all he needed to do was to serve Wike for mere four years and now become his own man in his second term, in that time he can now dismantle Wike political structure and erect his own and going forward becomes the sheriff of Rivers State politics, all his advisers who now looks extremely foolish will be wondering on where their foolish bravado has landed them, Fubara in case you are reading this go back and make peace with Wike and Tinubu because the two are masters of politics of dark arts, and if in doubt go and ask Ambode and how his wise replacement Sanwolu played the loyalty game

Why are the descendants and their attorneys beaming with smiles and happiness, even if they got freed the death of 35 children in the stampede shouldn't be a cause of joy no matter the judicial outcomes, where is their conscience for Goodness sake, infact the state government should in the least declare a half working day in sympathy for the families that lost their ones, it's not wishful thinking to state that a potential Albert Einstein or a messianic future Nigerian President could have been among those dead children

Akalia:
Albeit i am pro fubara but let's tell ourselves the truth, Fubara eff up by demolishing that building and still to this day didn't erect any in place of it.

He really took his political beef too far and look where it's got him-6 months suspension.

On the other hand, Tinubu has an ulterior political motive for declaring state of emergency in rivers state. There are governors that had done worse than Fubara but never received such heavy punitive measure.

infact I used to be his ardent supporter thinking he was a true Democrat but I lost all affection for him when he carried out the demolition of the house of assembly, who gave him that advice ffs, again he should have been completely subservient to Wike and now be his own man in his second term, that way he will have succeeded in dismantling wikes structure and build his own and would have eventually become the next godfather of rivers politics, he was not patient and wise

My dad once told me that women changes their entire character every few years in marriage, if your fortune flunctuates every now and then so will their behaviors, if your dick no Sharp and doesn't drill properly like before so they will change, if you wise up to thier manipulations, they change, and the best thing is to marry another late in your evening life and na that one go dey fight for your interest so that you can train her children and before you know it you don old kpai peacefully go meet baba God

Exceed15:
On this one I disagree with SERAP. Natasha is fighting a self agenda not true representation of people of kogi Central. She lacks the character and capacity to lead people.

what a thoughtless and moronic comment, I am from Natasha Akpoti constituent and hundreds of thousands of us freely gave her our mandate to represent us at the Senate, and to add to that she a well beloved senator whom I predict would be getting reelected over and over again because it's now on record that no Senator from kogi central has achieved what she has in a short span of time, so Akpabio who is equally a senator and just one among equal senators has the right to deny people of her senatorial district the rights of representation? By the time diplomatic missiles starts raining down on the current government for indulging a well known women abuser like Akpabio then we shall see, Thanks a million times SERAP

For everyone that's doubtful of this figures I tell y'all that it's poverty and lack that makes you say so, do y'all know the numbers of billionaires in Lagos and thousands of millionaires? Drug peddlers, Yahoo boys in their thousands, ritualists,politicians, musicians, Diaspora Nigerians that came for dirty December, importers, expatriates, oil company workers, kidnappers, oil bunkerers and so on, didn't y'all heard what happened with difficulties in getting accomodations in Lagos during dorty December? I personally once witnessed a friend who work in the oil industry give 40k plus 50 dollars to a hookup girl for a night for just two rounds during the night, make una dey play, the figures are very real.

The Akpabios damage control machine is at work again, I am Ebira and a professional in my field too, who are this faceless group that are unknown and are Abuja based, I dare this group to travel to okene to read out this communique openly, The mistake a lot of people make is that Natasha is a well beloved woman by her constituent and they braved all odds to overwhelming elect her into the Senate despite the enormous government machinery arrayed against her by a sitting governor and the federal might, she will end being in the Senate as long as she wants, mark my words on this.

CommonSense1967:
This woman should be expelled from the Senate.

She an attention-seeking LovePeddler.

you are a slowpoke and a stark illetrate that doesn't understand a shred bit how democracy works, did you voted her to the Senate? There are hundreds of thousands that did including my humble self, so the despotic and the sex addict called Akpabio is currently depriving me of my fundamental right as a citizen of Nigeria to representation in the Senate, y'all Akpabios supporters are jittery and consumed with fear of what awaits him internationally as being a serial women abuser and if in doubt go to Akwa Ibom and ask a female street hawker about his toxic and wayward reputation with women

Asonaijaaso:
The way this issue is being handled is absurd. First off, it’s clear the government is more concerned about protecting its own interests than about tackling real problems. If the Nigerian intelligence agencies are truly incapable of protecting their own government protocols, then they need to be fired immediately. How could a woman like Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was suspended for raising valid concerns about misconduct, manage to attend an international meeting without the proper clearance? The fact that she was even able to address the IPU at all shows there’s a serious failure on the part of Nigeria’s leadership to manage basic internal processes.

Where was this investigation when accusations of sexual harassment against the Senate President surfaced? No investigation into those claims, but now the government is scrambling because a woman—who’s already facing political persecution—seated herself at an international forum to raise her concerns. This stinks of political games, not genuine national interest. The government needs to focus on the real issues—not harass those who dare speak out, especially when their rights have been violated.

If the Senate and intelligence agencies spent less time worrying about trivial matters and more time dealing with the real abuses happening under their watch, we might actually make some progress.

Apkabio said on the record, she is no longer a senator if she is on suspension. So did she attend the IPU as a private citizen. Or was Apkabio ignorant of what it means to be a suspended senator ? Or is the government going after a private citizen who is exercising her freedom of expression. Anyway you twist it. It will further incriminate Akapbio or it will incriminate the government.

Super brilliant insights from you bro 👍👍🙏

Factcheck0001:
Our brothers from the land of the rising tears won't let us rest now with their tears

This is one of tinubu legacy that we all can see, just ask them to mention one thing their agulu fraud did in anambara that is still seen till now then war go start.

They developed everywhere n when e reach to develop their own region cement finish

though I hate ethnic biases this is quite hilarious 😂😆

seunmsg:
This is a very unfortunate and condemnable statement. This is the same El-Rufai family political desperadoes like Peter Obi and Atiku are aligning with in a desperate bid ti grab political power.

Kudos to President Tinubu for blocking El-Rufai’s nomination as a federal minister. To be honest, it would have been a horrific national disaster to have a terrorist like El-Rufai as a federal minister.

Going forward, President Bola Tinubu should do everything to protect the good people of southern Kaduna from criminal cretins like the El-Rufai family.

point of correction, Tinubu never ever blocked him but actually nominated him as compensation for his winning the primaries in APC which to be honest he was partly responsible for by helping to mobilize other northern Governor's, because Buhari had already pencilled Lawan as his successor, it was during screening for Minister's that a damning security report emerged that he was highly instrumental to horrific terrorism going on in the country and equally committed ethnic cleansing killings in southern Kaduna region

I still can't comprehend how a new and a formidable party can unseat Tinubu, what kind of realignment are they going to all mutually agree to, who will step down for whom, if the overwhelming sentiment is still that the South should complete its eight years before the North which in my opinion is still going to be the main factor for voters then who in the south can defeat Tinubu, will Atiku step down for anyone? Will obi agree to that too, will Kwankwaso step down for anyone? Tinubu whom I have come to regard as the most brilliant politician in Nigeria will exploit all this cracks in the opposition sides enormously and ruthlessly, and Wike is his greatest weapon.

Meti99:
The mother is by far more beautiful than her

yes she is more beautiful, she is ebira, the same place with Natasha Akpoti, they are extremely beautiful

ShenTeh:
Lol.

There is no paradox here. It is rather the results of our government's lack of foresight and long term planning that are ruffling.

I have said this repeatedly, for instance, our population, as is, is an asset if we know how to explore that. And one of the ways is to look at the number of willing JAMB candidates who are turned down from studying medicine and offered less competitive uni courses like Agric and zoology for instance.

We could increase our capacity for admitting core medical students into our unis with a grand plan towards exporting their services to around the world when they graduate. We could design a simple pathway for that. We would have more than enough for domestic healthcare and for export benefits. We could begin to reap benefits under 10 years and that is even a very short term ROI in the life of a country.

But no, we would moan on one hand that we don't want our people to japa and cry on the other that diaspora remittances are needed.

brilliant insights, you took the words out of my mouth, while the brain drain is seen by the myopic minded as a challenge, I see it as a huge goldmine for our super brilliant citizens who can profit enormously at an individual level, at family level and at a huge boost to our economic through massive diaspora remittances, there are millions of nursing and Doctors vacancies worldwide, why don't we target that alone by training thousands of them and send to those areas of need, thru that alone we can hit a hundred billion dollars in remittances

HITdemUP:
Paid article from Akpabio led Monkeys

The Natasha camp should equally go to uniabuja to dig and nose around Akpabios sex escapades there, I bet you they will find a treasure trove of dirt among young girls there, don't even talk about UYO his home state capital

DeGLORIOUS:
I think Natasha should be caution. If she truly mean what she's saying about the Senate president, she should file a formal complain or she should shut up. The Senate is not a kindergarten play ground. Why always Natasha?

what's your point exactly, Mind you Natasha is a lawyer and a very intelligent one at that, you mean she should have put up with the trauma and sexual harassment she was getting from Akpabio? Despite being a married woman and a family friend of the Akpabios, Go to Akwa Ibom and ask a little girl selling pure water Akpabio sexual reputation, the man is a Nympho,

Akpabio days are numbered, even if he survives this ugly episodes his political stature and respect in Nigeria will be enormously diminished, his reputation prior to this scandal as being lousy communicator and a sex addict who abuses women sexually are not helping his case, but his strength is the fact that the current Tinubu administration see him as a loyal and useful politically, problem is how more scandalous is further outcomes from the allegations going to get before they throw him under the bus, because no matter what senators of northern extractions are waiting to stab him because they detest him

Dogalmighty17:
I am f(u)cking angry. Not that the 'miracle' was staged, but that they put in such low effort behind it. If you want to decieve me, impress me while doing so. At least rate me well while lying to me. Put in effort!

That rubbish above is just sad. You want me to believe a woman selling phone accessories and clothes could have built such a classic house worth close to 300m? How? Everything she is wearing in her testimony is not even up to 15k. People in her locality who know her and watched that testimony, went to her shop. Notice that she couldn't put up any defense.

Why do some churches do this? Why? When Enenche was accused of faking testimonies, I came out in his defence. Enenche doesn't have the time for that shit. Person that is going to Pakistan for crusade, you will have to ask if he is normal. Yes among Enenche, Oyedepo and Adeboye, it is Enenche that follows a healing ministry and he still remains a licensed medical doctor.

There are drastic and easily verifiable testimonies under his ministry. One of them was a young boy with physically decomposing skin. Necrosis of the flesh so bad that his family abandoned him to die. That young man is healed today and Enenche is set to sponsor him to any level he desires to school. This testimony is verifiable.

Nigerian Christianity suffers from an absence of self policing. The genuine roll along side with charlatans. But what can be done? Nothing really. It is left for the people to engage their brains and parse out the fake from the real. But considering how lazy most of us are, how we have abdicated consciousness of thought to supposed men of God, charlatans can easily decieve us.

you are absolutely correct 💯 and best comment of the day

Futuristic assumption indicates that Christianity as a religion will seize to exist in less than 100years time, that's already happening in large part of Europe and The US already, the worst ones are the pastors who claims healing powers while the Almighty Pope is on wheelchair, while millions of dumb followers are trooping to those healing crusades

Lamasta:
Kogi central look at what is representing you likewise Akwa ibom too

Yes you are absolutely correct, Kogi central is being eminently represented by the most beautiful and brilliant woman that ever graced the floors of the Senate, except for few how many senators including men and women that you can mention that is more brilliant, infact senator opeyemi bamidele is the only exception in the current Senate.

helinues:
Kogi constituency where Natasha is representing. I hail una

At least una senator is known for being controversial even though nothing like development based news whenever we read about her.

That one too na achievements.

Natasha, tell us how many Kogi women you have empowered sincerely.. She's not even making any different from the men in politics

You are a slowpoke, I am from kogi central and I can categorically tell you that no Senator from the central except late senator AT Ahmed has had such monumental impact as Natasha, I repeat , none, infact she actually the most beloved senator we have ever had, she succeeded in standing up GYB, and the Apkabio of a man is an extremely notorious skirt chaser widely known in akwa ibom and the south south states and without mincing words is a nymphomaniac

Impeachment fight go soon burst, Time to get dirty.

hilarious 😂 bro

What a lot of people don't realize is that the foundational basis of the two religion is what will ultimately makes the difference, the bishop is right, Christianity is liberal, soft and full of biblical contradictions, the day the Almighty Pope decreed same sex marriages was the day I knew Christianity will be extingting in the future, on the other hand Islam is uncompromising in its creed and beliefs and never wavers to so called evolving times and customs, its rigid and that's exactly where it draws its strength from, have yall ever wondered why islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and why Muhammad PBUH is the most influential person to ever walked on planet earth

numericalguy:
Hahaha


Same Anambra that the Pandora criminal called Obi made more beaituful than Amelica, Ragos, Rondon, Itary, Marecia, Blazil all combined?
Same Anambra they will be shouting money na water upandan?
Same Anambra they are all silent billionaires richer than Dangote?

hilarious 😂 but RIP to the dead

beerfraud:
I think Ogun state is learning from these people

ogun state can't but rather thier indolent governor appears to be enabling the mind blowing culture of ritualism in that state, can you compare an erudite person like Soludo to the ogun state governor who is fiddling while his state is burning due to ritualism

AerialMapper:
Safe to say Wike may have out-preformed El Rufai who was said to be the best performing Ministers of FCT... Even though he allocated nearly all of Durumi 2 and Guzape to his proxy... That's not the topic ooo

But you see the previous FCT Minister, Mohammed Bello, Wike has made that buffoon look like the most incompetent human being to ever exist as a human. I mean... This guy was only useful as a bent nail

you are absolutely correct 💯

Bigchief46:
Reading the comments of many Nigerians in this story, one feels so sorry for what Nigerians have become. IT IS SO SAD. Many lack even the most minimal of comprehension skills. They can’t even read or understand what they read. Any article or post over 200 words riles them and they become resentful. You see a total lack of home training or courtesy. Most readers did not even attempt to comprehend or assess the statement or explanation made by the Law Maker one way or the other. You don’t have to agree with his side of the story but readers are expected to at least give a reasoned explanation for disagreeing. Instead it’s just ranting, raving, whining, frothing at the mouth and cussing. Even when the Law Maker has stated that he sued Binance & its CEO in September 2024 for the false allegations against him and gave details of particulars of the case in which hearing has already started, illiterates & mor.ons here are still crying that he should go to Court if he is innocent while other cret.ins mock his resort to the Courts to clear his name. If these are the future leaders of Nigeria, we have no hope.

while you have made very valid point, you ended up cussing and frothing in the mouth too instead of being courteous and civilized with your words, oga you sure say no be pepper you dey sell for warri market😇🤔
