Instead of you to blame your brothers that keep stealing from you, you are blaming the recipient of the stolen goods. La k of accountability is the bane of the black race!

No. I did not absolve my brothers from fault or blame but I am not a hypocrite. If the whites weren't hypocritical, they would not take to their nose what they won't eat.

I had to go check your previous comment to see what I responded to. I'm sorry sir, you still sound like a child. Your choice of language gives your age away and you can be 60 years but if you still write like a kid, you probably didn't age well.

If you were old enough in 2007 to follow the news, you will know that people talked about the issue back then. And they were no fools. Pardon your French. Thank you and have a nice time growing up.

The colonial system has not gone. They rinse and repeat. When they want your dirty money, they collect it and turn the blind eye, when they want to pretend like fake moralistas, they judge you, seize your money and assets.

Look at how they kolobied Abrahamovic's assets when Russia attacked Ukraine. Oyinbo and double standards stink to high hell... They are just stealing what does not belong to them and trying to wash their sins. It's how Abacha loot still keeps coming from them yet they collected it. It's how they stole our artifacts and put in their museums, made money from them and refused to return them. Didn't Dangote accuse the Oil Boss of living above his salary by sending his children to Swiss schools? These countries are like prostitutes, money for hand, back for ground.

Democracy is a scam if one country can decide how crazy another's democracy is crazy. Demonstration of craze...

This is why it will not work in Africa because it's crazy how the demo works here. The rulers have figured out how to manipulate the system to benefit them without direct responsibility.

In 1999 - 2003, the Executive did not like the Legislature and orchestrated the removal of the Senate and Reps different times. However you must be aware that the leaders of those houses were not 100% clean. Do you remember Salisu and Toronto Certificate? Within four years, the Senate alone had three presidents. Salisu Buhari’s removal over the Toronto certificate scandal was justified on ethical grounds, but the speed and coordination of the process revealed something deeper, the executive influence was never far away. Evan Enwerem and later Chuba Okadigbo fell amid allegations of misconduct, yet the pattern suggested that leadership crises were being managed politically, not institutionally. Accountability was selective, reactive, and often convenient for the power brokers. Nigeria began its democratic process on a faulty foundation. The Governors will learn after the 2003 tsunami by the PDP how to grab it in the next paragraph.


In 2003–07, the major issue of this tenure was the attempt tamper with constitutional limits through political pressure. Even though Obasanjo denies it today, there is enough documentation on how the third-term agenda was not just about tenure elongation but it was a stress test of whether constitutional rules could withstand executive might. The Legislature was flooded with inducements and intimidation. That the amendment failed remains significant, but equally significant is how close it came to succeeding. Democracy survived this phase by a narrow margin, not by institutional strength but thank God it survived. Credit to Sen Ken Nnamani.


In 2007–11, this tenure combined electoral legitimacy collapse, legislative scandal, and executive weakness. The 2007 elections severely damaged democratic credibility, yet governance proceeded without correction. Yar Adua's attempt to correct the anomaly of an election succeeded a bit when he set up an electoral panel to review our electoral system. Inside the Legislature, the Patricia Etteh crisis and later the Dimeji Bankole era exposed how leadership of the House became entangled with patronage and post-tenure criminalisation. The defining rupture, however, was Yar’Adua’s illness and death. The secrecy surrounding presidential incapacity paralysed governance and exposed a constitutional vacuum. The “Doctrine of Necessity” that elevated the Vice President was a timely fix but it also confirmed that Nigeria’s democracy often survives by improvisation rather than adherence to clear rules. Thank you Dora Akunyili and we can't forget the role of Mr Aondoaka and those who claimed that the President could rule from anywhere in the world. A pattern that will be repeated later under Buhari and now, Tinubu. This period was where the Governors started learning to cut their teeth. They became more influential in Nigerian politics. The Governors' Forum was influencing national politics. This was the period of one party state by PDP that made Ogbulafor boast that PDP will rule for 60 years. Obasanjo had taught the Governors lessons but Yar Adua and Jonathan's scholarly approach to democracy may have cost us a lesson on tight fisted executive.

In 2011–15, the main issue of this period was oversight without enforcement. The National Assembly appeared assertive, especially during the fuel subsidy probe, which revealed massive corruption. Yet the failure to secure decisive prosecutions weakened public trust. You must remember that Farouk Lawan was recently forgiven in the Tinubu's presidential pardon list but what he did at that time was a symbol of the corruption at the top. At the same time, electoral reforms under Attahiru Jega restored some credibility to elections, creating a contrast between improving electoral process and stagnant governance accountability. Democracy looked better at the ballot box than in outcomes. Change became possible but the Governors played a major role in redesigning how party politics was. The party was no longer the class captain, each Governor was now taking hold of the party structure at each state.

In 2015–19, this tenure was dominated by open institutional confrontation. Bukola Saraki’s emergence as Senate President against party and executive preference triggered years of conflict. His trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal placed the Judiciary squarely within political struggle. Simultaneously, the Executive openly disobeyed court orders in security-related cases, signalling impatience with judicial restraint. This was not just an executive–legislative problem, it was a systemic breakdown of respect among arms of government because APC was in power, so yih can't blame the opposition. Power was increasingly exercised as moral authority rather than constitutional obligation.
The first attack on the judicial system began here with the Onnoghen trial by the Buhari government. The death of the media also started during this time. APC, which had oiled the machinery of the media to their advantage could not let the same machine take them out. They came out hard on critical thinking and through the Minister of Information, the Press review started here.


In 2019–23, the tenure was defined by the open surrender of legislative independence. Unlike earlier Assemblies that at least struggled with the Executive, this one publicly embraced alignment as a governing principle. Legislative leaders openly described the National Assembly as a “partner” rather than a check. Oversight weakened noticeably. Budgets were passed with little resistance, confirmations sailed through, and major policy questions rarely produced institutional pushback. The loss of teeth was not accidental. Senate President Ahmed Lawan repeatedly framed the National Assembly as a “partner” of the Executive rather than a check on it. In public statements, he emphasized working “in harmony” with the presidency to pass legislation and implement national policies, warning against “unnecessary grandstanding” that could delay governance. Oversight weakened - bills, budgets, and ministerial confirmations proceeded with minimal scrutiny. A prominent example was Godswill Akpabio’s smooth confirmation as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, which drew little interrogation despite prior controversies. Please off your mic. Committees that would normally probe ministers or government contracts rarely escalated findings, signaling a tacit decision that cooperation, not confrontation, was the guiding principle. The loss of teeth was not accidental, it was openly acknowledged, marking a clear departure from Assemblies that had previously struggled even contentiously to assert themselves.
Democracy during this period functioned procedurally but hollowly, with elections and legislative processes intact but scrutiny and accountability diminished.

From 2023–present, the current 10th National Assembly has intensified this pattern. It had easily won the worst National Assembly even before concluding its tenure. Senate and House leaders, including Akpabio, have publicly reinforced the idea that lawmakers are not elected “to fight the Executive” but to collaborate on national priorities. Akpabio stressed that legislators should support executive-led bills that serve the nation, even if critics label this a “rubber-stamp” legislature. Committees continue to exist, but oversight has become largely symbolic. Critical national issues, security challenges, rising inflation, and controversial economic policies see limited legislative pushback. What stands out is not conflict but its absence, making it clear that the Legislature now prioritizes alignment and on a mandate they wish to stand on with the executive over independent scrutiny. In practical terms, the National Assembly functions, but as a facilitator of executive priorities rather than a co-equal branch ensuring accountability. This Assembly has trashed any respect whatsoever you may have for the Legislature. Publicly singing on your mandate they shall stand, trying to praise the President's work and laughing over serious issues that affect Nigerians or completely ignoring them have made them weaker than the whisker of a cat.

Looking at Nigeria’s National Assembly from 1999 to today, a clear pattern stands out. Each four-year tenure faced big challenges, but the Legislature often let itself be shaped by politicians and party leaders instead of standing up to protect the people’s interests. The 10th Assembly shows this clearly. Leaders openly put the President’s wishes above their constitutional duty. They approve bills and budgets without asking tough questions. Committees that should investigate government programs barely do their work. By choosing to cooperate instead of check power, the Legislature has weakened democracy from within. At the same time, the Judiciary has often compromised, bending under pressure or choosing caution, which has limited its ability to fully check government power. Go to court!!!


This problem is not unique to Nigeria. In countries like Venezuela, democracy exists on paper but is erased by politicians who manipulate institutions for their own gain. We can see the same pattern here. But pointing out these failures does not give outsiders the right to lecture Venuezela. Even strong democracies like the United States struggle with their own political crises and institutional problems. True democracy only works when the people and their own institutions hold power accountable. No one else can do it for us.

I thought their Emilokan knew it was going to be him, he did not even need any prophesy that he even asked El Rufai to speak for him during his campaign. He knew his 'team' but to cover Nigeria's back in international space after getting there, he is showing confusion. Mr Teamship, the man who can spot talents. The joke is on you.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtvPDLq2P3E[/quote]Even here where he wasn't debating with anyone, he still could not bring himself to answer questions. The world is watching Nigeria and they can see how we are making a full of ourselves.


Since APC came to power, Presidential Media chats are a thing of the past. They don't believe that giving accountability is necessary. Wike has more media chats than the President and what is he usually talking about? Politics! Not governance. If they were in opposition and PDP did the same thing, they would have screamed 🤡

Do not sell that building. I repeat, do not sell that building. Life comes with troubles but it's in seasons. One season, you were doing well and you thought God was favoring you, now you have a life challenge and think God has forsaken you

God is with the patient. You can still work your way towards another job, another business or something else but a landed property is an investment asset that yields more profit with time so I am surprised you even want to sell it to japa. You will regret that action. I think you need to calm down and redraw a plan. What you are doing now is irrational thinking instead of rational thinking. Take your time and grind, every business man has always faced a serious crisis in life. But what they do is to always keep bouncing back.

Go and watch My Worst Day with Peace Hyde and you will find out that every big man has his own wahala. This is your time to shine. What is this experience teaching you as a man

Everyman needs solitude, spirituality and faith. This is what makes men. You too shall rise above these challenges.

OP, you can do better and post the text. Don't just give us pictures

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, has warned President Bola Tinubu and other political actors against rigging the 2027 presidential election, saying the international community is closely watching Nigeria.

Pearse issued the warning during an interview on Arise Television on Sunday, where he cautioned that electoral malpractice could attract serious global consequences.

According to him, the era of unchecked election rigging is coming to an end, stressing that international institutions and powerful global actors would not ignore any attempt to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process....

At the end of the day, you still need family ties. So mature in a way that this beef will not go on for a long time. Apologise and move on. Do a family meeting, apologize and chop your L. It will help you.

“When a child washes his hands, he can eat with elders.” A proverb meaning respect is earned through dignity and conduct, not simply age.

Your uncle could have behaved badly but your response should be better even though it's expected that the older people know better. Can you see the other people here warning you of consequences? That's the fine art of living and becoming an adult, we don't take certain decisions, not because we can't do them but because when we weigh the actions against the consequences, wisdom is profitable to direct us to manage the situation.

He who angers you, owns you.

I am waiting to see the press release, if any, from Kagame. It is such a shame that this Presidency cannot be trusted. I told people that the Tax Act was not the problem, it was the level of distrust between the leaders and the led. After all, Buhari passed the Finance Bill in 2023.

As at today, I have not seen Kagame posting any picture of him in France. His last post was 4 days ago and the same message is on IG/FB. Let's assume this is true, what is so special about meeting Kagame in another man's country? The reputation of Nigeria has never been this soiled and it's a sad day for the great country. The Presidency belongs to the people of Nigeria, it's not an institution to joke with regardless of whoever is there. Respect the country.

Only in Nigeria will you see pastors predicting election results, football matches and entertainment reality shows' votes.

People of the world....

autoez:
Wike is the only man in the history of Nigeria to be a minister of the government of an opposition party he's no member of. He deserves some praises. Wike you diz one oooo.

That's not true. When Yar Adua won in 2007, he declared a Government of National Unity. What Wike said isn't wrong. What is wrong is if he did it without his party's approval.


Yar’Adua invited opposition parties to join his cabinet after the controversial 2007 election results. The All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) agreed to join his government. Some senior opposition figures such as Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar did not join the government, they continued legal challenges or political opposition after the 2007 election.

According to archival reporting (Daily Sun/ANPP leadership context), the two ANPP‑nominated ministers in Yar’Adua’s cabinet were:
• Abdulrahman Adamu
• Salamatu (Hussaini) Suleiman
These were submitted as the party’s nominees under the spirit of the GNU. At the Senate screening, there was some news about the name being tampered with.

In late 2007/2008, President Yar’Adua appointed some ANPP figures as senior advisors, including:
1. Saidu Kumo: ANPP National Secretary, served as Special Advisor on Inter‑Party Affairs
2. Prince Ebutta Ayuk: Deputy National Chairman (South), served as Special Advisor on Non‑Governmental Affairs
3. Chineme Ume‑Ezeoke: Son of ANPP National Chairman, served as Special Advisor on Civil Organizations

This man that made us believe that the President can rule from anywhere in the world

There is no reason to have posted that picture if they didn’t meet. But Tinubu needs to fire so many people under his leadership. They are charlatans and sycophants.

They couldn’t even edit properly

You know certain lies are considered forgeries. This one is enough to get people fired. You can't lie about what never happened. Imagine what happens when Rwanda picks it up. We are soiled. It is not about the Presidency FOR A TINUBU, it's about the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Some people are joking with this institution.

Any good journalist should go and check the Rwanda Presidency and check if they have the same photo of their president or where he was on the day of the photo. That ends it.


If the State Press released fake news to the media houses, I urge all of them to reject any word from the Presidency for one month in protest. We have been hearing of how they always retract what was sent. I checked the media handles of Paul, he is active on Twitter. President wey de support Arsenal because RwandAir is a sponsor. Now, no mention of him going to France. Hmmmm

I knew they would say this. The moment I saw that comment on Nairaland, I already knew. And they have budget for State House photography and President's photograph. Una try.

In the 2025 Nigerian federal budget, the Office of the President / State House allocated funds for media and photography as follows:
Purchase of media equipment for the

A. Presidential Media & Publicity Unit: ₦1.112 billion

B. Presidential digital media archive setup: ₦1.279 billion

Total spent on these media-related items = ₦2.39 billion

To call yesterday useless is the naivety of a child who thinks the sunrise began with him/her. Modernity is a branch, not the root. That's why museums were created. Bar you, we would destroy the items in the museum since they are 'archaic' but your comment shows me how old you are. Not in age, but in thinking.

Lol 😂 now the question sir is why use AI to edit if you aren't trying to make an impression or alter the image greatly lol. Using a normal editing app if it's maybe clearer picture you need is a good option but using AI means you want to massively manipulate the image.

This is a new low in the propaganda era. Very sad.

I think it's better the way it happened, at least everyone now know who has more electoral value between the two. If he had accepted to work with Obi and they eventually won, he won't be humble, he would have been on Obi's nerves like Atiku to OBJ believing that they won because of his influence, at least for now even himself knows the value of Peter Obi

You have a good point. I remember back then what he said about being a VP to Obi

Kwankwanso did prove to be a bit arrogant and that interview confirmed it for me. He overestimated his popularity and now all of them can negotiate based on data

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

The world became greedy. I would blame governments for dropping the ball... When they needed men for wars, they knew what to do, when they needed women to get out of the house, they knew what to do.

Have you seen the video of the man who decided to live off grid and the government was fighting him? Government has control. After God is the government and the politicians can lie all they want, they are largely responsible for this change because they are in charge of policies. And every of their policies affect the PEOPLE! Government wants to own and control a lot of things but give little or rubbish in return.

Fearlez:
The most conservative places in the world should be the middle east but even in most conservative places in America, it is generally believed women should be at home.

Japan and Korea governments have offered cash bonus and child support but the issue doesn't go away because it's now cultural.

Women are discriminated against in work places if they get pregnant or apply for maternity leave. Remember China isn't facing the severity of this problem even with their one child policies until they begin having high female workers and it happened to them. They now officially increased their birth rate per couple to 2 and decrease female workforce population.

Japan and Korea are western in values and they are facing what Germany, France UK and other western countries who allow female population and liberalism to thrive.

That's why the borders are open all over the West to shore up their population.

Now the orientals (china, Japan, Korea, etc are not big on racial intermingling so the liberal culture that brought underpopulation is hitting them hard the most

Also low wedges is also driven by the inclusion of women into the workforce as compared to the 1950s where they were low female in the workforce.

I have Chinese friends who ran away from the country because they wanted MORE kids. The government did not allow them back then and they have a problem with seeing the female child as not as important as the male...
So the cycle continues.

In Africa having fifteen kids means that when you grow old, each of those kids will send something. No welfare system makes it a must

Overseas? You pay high taxes which ironically make cost of living more difficult for welfare that would take care of you in old age.

Under thanr circumstance, children may not be necessary.

Also things do cost more there. Even house costs more because houses must be built to standard ( not like Nigeria where we just build anyhow). All that adds up. Searching for money is not about being rich, it is about meeting up with high cost of living and high taxes there , which enables them to have a better life than most Africans here.

I am looking at the philosophical foundation of the African society. It's not vested in material things but UBUNTU. I am because you are. At the end of the day, we see, even in western society that people need people. Covid reminded us about that. It's unfortunate we have had leaders who misuse our taxes because most of these things should be subsidized. The average African does not ask for much in life. Who are we and who are we becoming as a people?

All the children are ours..



Edit: I am not judging you or arguing with you, just sharing my POV. I see your points too

That was how they showed us,Iraq, Libya and so many other jubilations photos but in Your must quiet moment ask yourself,how are those country fearing today economically.....

The propaganda machine is well oiled to fool the gullible. We live in a world surrounded by _____

But some...... are complaining that trump was evading Venezuela because of their oil. America will always act to the befits of the citizens.

There's always two sides to a coin. In the South, Abacha's death was a cause for celebration. In Kano, tears flowed. Same country, different reaction.

Largely because childcare is very expensive in south Korea.

Even the bonuses are not enough

( Something similar was tried in Norway and Sweden. And Denmark. Even more generous. Didn't work)

Also in a rich country, you don't need kids the way you need them in a developed country. Again kids in developed countries are expensive. Better to be single under such circumstances

In Africa, the child runs in the dust and the sun, calling to uncles and aunts, and they answer. The mother’s arms are many in the village; meals come from the earth, schools are simple, and lessons are learned in work and laughter. The child grows with the rhythm of the land and the voices of those who love her.


It is not the child that costs more, but the world that surrounds her. In some places, life must be bought. Here, life is shared.

Because we are losing this value of who we are, happy with so little and enjoying life's simple things, the village is no longer raising the child and childcare is now getting expensive here as we chase the money that never ends and no one who has died values money more than family.

The 'description gang' again. Nobody can touch or tax money in your account.

You guys should stop using this description stuff to keep Nigerians busy.

That's untrue.

Stamp duty is a tax the government charges on certain legal documents, transactions, or agreements. It’s usually applied to things like property transfers, contracts, share certificates, leases, and some financial transactions. The government charges it to legally validate the document or transaction.

That's a typical example of what government collects that is a tax. For example, if you send fifteen thousand naira, the bank keeps fifty naira and your friend gets fourteen thousand nine hundred fifty naira. You only pay this if you send more than ten thousand naira, and the money goes to the government.

The Stamp Duties Act originally dated back to colonial law, and the Finance Act 2019 expanded the Stamp Duties Act to explicitly include bank deposits and transfers, giving a clear statutory basis for charging stamp duty on electronic transactions like bank transfers.
Before the 2019 Finance Act, banks were already deducting a N50 charge on electronic transfers above a certain threshold as an Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) going back to around 2016, after a Central Bank of Nigeria circular directed banks to implement such levies.

That practice was controversial, and in 2020 a Federal High Court ruled that some of these deductions were being collected without explicit legal backing at the time. The Finance Act 2019 and then the Finance Act 2020 gave the government a clear legal foundation to charge this levy via the Stamp Duties Act amendments, meaning that from March 2020 onward, banks had explicit statutory authority to collect a stamp duty/EMTL on electronic deposits and transfers above ₦10,000.


Under the current regime, banks collect a flat fee (commonly ₦50) on qualifying electronic transfers or deposits, which they remit to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) as stamp duty revenue.
