Fiscus105:
You are only defending Otitoju and turning to his spokesman.

Three people who aren't supposed to be journalist to claiming to be are.

Rufai Oseni
Kayode Otitoju
Bayo Onanuga.

While Onanuga is attack dog of Tinubu.
Otitoju is his spokeman.
And Rufai Oseni is attack dog of Obi.

All of them, most especially the two TV hosts among them, are extremely bias in their presentations and analyses..
You need to go back to the 90s to understand the connection. Them don know themselves tey tey

Press Release
President Bola Tinubu has paid a special tribute to Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, a multiple award-winning investigative journalist, on his 60th birthday on March 28, 2026.

The President highlights Otitoju’s contributions to journalism and Nigeria, saluting him for his citizen-oriented journalism, professionalism, integrity, courage, and for always speaking truth to power.

Otitoju, a prince of Ekirin Adde in Kogi State, has vast experience in both print and electronic media. He began his career with the Democrat newspaper in Kaduna from 1991 to December 1992. Then he joined TheNews Group as a pioneer staff member in February 1993, reporting from Kano as the state correspondent. In Kano, Otitoju made a name for himself when he defied threats and reported the religious-motivated killing of a Nigerian.

He distinguished himself at TheNEWS Organisation and went on to edit and later The NEWS magazine before joining TVC.

Otitoju has an acute memory, a characteristic of a History graduate from the University of Ilorin. He is also a polemicist and songwriter, and at present the Director of News of Television Continental and anchor of the celebrated current affairs and discussion programme of the station-“Journalists Hangout”.

President Tinubu remarks, “Babajide Otitoju stands out as a journalist of great reckoning and distinction. He speaks truth to power without caring whose ox is gored.

“What is also particularly remarkable about him is his vast journalism experience and knowledge across diverse disciplines, sectors, regions and cultures.

“He brings to the Journalists Hangout programme of TVC rich and informed perspectives and analysis that one can hardly ignore. His contributions to journalism, particularly the growth and development of TVC, are also worthy of mention.

“I congratulate Otitoju on attaining this milestone age of 60. I commend him for his services to his profession and Nigeria. I wish him many more years and a continued life of impact.”

Bayo Onanuga
Special Adviser to the President,
(Information & Strategy)
March 28, 2026

DeepSight:
You do realize that speaking truth to power has long been the tradition of the Catholic Church in Nigeria. If you can remember Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie?

Let me ask you a sincere question.

A priest goes to the president and says, sir, there is hunger in the land. Has he lied? Thats the first question.

The second question is if it is right and proper for the president to respond saying that hunger has been there before he was born. Was that a good response? Was it not insensitive and irresponsible? If you were an adviser to the president, would you advise him to respond saying such a thing?

Be sinceree

Crime › Re: ​From Lavish 60th Birthday To Maximum Security: The Story Of Ariket by SixSeven:
Our problem is that we like to celebrate nonsense. And by nonsense I mean, we celebrate material things, things that don't have value, no worth but only craving validation because it is not authentic.

The elders used to say that a man who does not know where the rain began to beat him cannot know where he dried his body. Today, we no longer look at a man’s character, we only look at the size of his harvest, even if he stole the yams. We have turned our backs on the quiet truth of our ancestors to dance to the loud drums of foolish men. Of course, when a society begins to crown jesters and mock the honest farmer, the roof is already falling on the house. That's why they once said when a thief tells you to gotocourt, his brother is the judge. It means the system is fixed, and a dishonest person is only acting bold because they control or have an unfair advantage in the system meant to judge them. They control the system, they are the king of boys

If we crush the seed of integrity just to celebrate the chaff, what will our children eat when the famine of character arrives? Na there we de so. Ajekun iya ti e je ehn, Davido and SDM never got sing am well yet.

MadPolitician:
I prefer Ariku to Obasanjo..
Atleast you know where Atiku stands.
There is nothing politically spectacular about Obasanjos administrative skills.
Dude was below par.
In terms of his political pursuits, his tenures witnessed an alarmingly high increase in all sorts of extra judicial murders and plane crashes involving big names; Harry Marahal, Dokubo, Ige etc..
Crude violence was a permanent feature..

Forget all that whitewashing by the mercenary Lagos Ibadan expressway compromised press houses who crowned the inept bully as the father of modern Nigeria. Obasanjo was a placid administrator who spends most of his time chasing real and Imagined political enemies..

Lately, Peter Obi has been trying to portray Obasanjo as a detribalised Nigerian and I think that is gross. Obasanjo was in on the arrangement that led to the sidelining of the South East in the scheme.of things post 1999. He had a sorts of "good friends" in the SE but when it was tune to find a deputy for Yardua, dude went for one unknown ijaw quantity. Now he wants to.make Obi the president?

Just another consumate court jester from the Southwest
They should go and rest. Atiku being in Dubai is not by mistake. There is something they are not telling us and we may only know when he gets there. Atiku's problem is that he was once there. That hustle is not there and he still thinks people respect him as former VP, that's why he believes in sending delegates or representatives to speak for him. I don't want us to get an Atiku as President and when he gets there, we'll now find out why he often stays in Dubai. Buhari wasted our money in London hospitals, Tinubu visits France, we act like we didn't see Yar'Adua and how some cabal became president on his behalf, signing documents on his behalf. We never learn, and the same thing happened when Buhari was away. We need a hands-on president!

This is a very reckless statement from a serving minister. I know he says reckless things but they are not helping Tinubu's cause with these statements. They are making more enemies for him. I don't know if this is not deliberate sabotage.

Like a Wike, like a Bwala. The stupid mistake APC is making is thinking that because Obi is Tinubu's opponent, they will do things to pepper Obidients or any critic, forgetting that even opposition are Nigerians too. Focus on what you have to offer, leave the noise. Not everything needs to be politics but what can I say? You can't give what you don't have. PDP was once here.

Racoon:
Hehehe! Confession time! "Abuja Politicians" especially Nyesom Wike una don hear? It is not by federal might or power. 2027 will also go the same way. This talkative Governor Sule thinks the asslicking politics he playing is the real thing.
He was initially making some sense until I read this part

What it means is that the power of a sitting governor is not something you can joke around with. That’s the message that was sent, actually, in Osun


They have no regard for the electorate, including the winner, Jackson, who should have thanked Osun people for their support and leave it at that but kept on mentioning the President, man who only cares about what he can get. They say it's politics, they say it's strategy but they think people are dumb. Let's see how 2027 will go and if his mandate shall stand. He thinks he can command Osun people like that. He never see anything



A. Aliyu

As a highly influential Northern governor and chairman of the Northern Governors' Forum, Aliyu pledged that Niger State's political machinery would deliver the state to PDP's incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. He openly campaigned under the assumption that his executive dominance would dictate the people's votes. The electorate did not follow his direction, resulting in one of the most lopsided defeats for an incumbent establishment in Nigerian history.

Goodluck Jonathan was decisively rejected in Niger State, pulling only 149,222 votes. The opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari (APC), swept the state with a staggering 657,678 votes. Governor Aliyu also lost his own personal bid to transition to the Senate, losing the Niger East Senatorial district election to APC's David Umaru.


B. Elrufai
As an incredibly powerful founding member of the APC and a fierce loyalist, Governor El-Rufai went all out to campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Because the APC held full executive power and machinery in Kaduna, it was considered a guaranteed win for the party. Despite El-Rufai's tight control over the state, the electorate did not follow his direction. The state rejected Tinubu, and the PDP's Atiku Abubakar swept Kaduna State with 554,360 votes. Where is Elrufai today?

C. What happened to Sanwoolu or Ganduje or even Okowa who was actually on the ballot as the Vice- Presidential candidate for the PDP. He and his party structures confidently expected Delta State to vote entirely for the PDP ticket. Even with the sitting governor being on the national ticket, Delta State voters ignored his candidacy. The Labour Party swept Delta State with 341,866 votes, entirely rejecting the sitting governor's regional influence.

Or should we talk about Isa Yuguda and Bauchi and how Buhari beat PDP like pulp. These people are foolish to realize that Governors do not own the thumbs of their voters. Even Wike is being tolerated but let him try what he did again and see if the people will do like mumu again by changing their votes.

Fact: in the 2023 presidential election alone, 20 sitting governors lost their states to opposing presidential candidates because the electorate chose to ignore their governors' preferences
Politics › Re: Like Adeleke, Peter Obi Will Soon Endorse Tinubu – Bwala by SixSeven:
Bwala is beginning to mock his name

Baa hahaha

Mr. President is a son of Osun State, and I hereby reaffirm my earlier endorsement of him for a second term in the 2027 presidential election,” he said.
In Yoruba tradition, a son’s true origin is always tied to his father’s lineage through a deep concept known as Ìbílẹ̀, which means native root or origin. Even if a son is born and raised in his mother's town, custom dictates that he legally and spiritually belongs to the hometown and ancestral house of his father. A son is never just from a city, but rather from a specific Agboólé, which is the historical family compound where his grandfathers lived, held land, and were buried. Traditional elders always look at a person as a link in a long generational chain called Ìran, and it is this paternal bloodline that grants a son his birthright to inherit family land, hold local chieftaincy titles, or contest for a royal throne. Ultimately, the true source of where a son comes from is found in his Oríkì Orílẹ̀, the ancient praise poetry of his clan that details the hills, rivers, and historic victories of his father's true home.

The Tinubus are known to be from Lagos, or more specifically, from Egbaland not Osun State. You better stop this thing so you don't throw more light on the discrepancy of your candidate's true identity. You can't be from 2 places at the same time. Show us the Tinubu lineage in Osun State, let's check something.

Bwala, I challenge you to show us the igi Ìran of The Tinubus in Osun State, I wan see the Ìdílé. Make you no start something you no go wan torchlight.

If the people's mind is reoriented to understand that one injustice cannot be addressed by another injustice they will stop doing it. All it takes is for half the crowd to say no to jungle justice, I've seen that happen.

It is not the duty of the police or the crowd to dispense justice, it is the duty of the courts, you can't take law into your hands - that's a crime. The solution is education and enlightenment.
When the crowd is more than the police, what does the police do? Do people respect authorities or haven't you seen where police officers remove their uniform to avoid being targeted? Whose duty is to dispense the crowd? Why are those who dispense wrong justice never rebuked?

Yes the solution is education and enlightenment but why are the right things not done? I don't support JJ but I'm just saying reality. Look at us after the Aluu4, look at that guy that was recently trending that held a knife because he knew they would JJ him.

SixSeven:
You will think our elites have sense to build but you can't give what you don't have. Whether na man or woman their thinking is myopic, parasitic and oppressive. Tell me, what did we bring to this world that we are taking out? Some people are saying contentment is not enough and we should forget it. Money is everything. Please, Deziani wasn't a poor woman before she became minister. She was working for an oil company, places where the President's sycophants make us assume that once you work there you become a billionaire 🤡

You cannot satisfy man's greed. It's never enough. They keep asking for more and more and more. They want the best of everything and they are selfish. Why? Because they only care about themselves. Guys don't forget that Dangote challenged the oil regulator boss to show Nigerians how he pays for his kids schooling in Switzerland private schools! Those kind of children, do you think they will work a minimum wage job and be okay? Never. Their parents have already corrupted their OS from foundation. That's why they all want their kids to join CBN, NNPC, FIRS and where all the cookie jars are but leave you all to work for NIS, Nigerian Army and Police, places they have neglected and destroyed for the common man.

You cannot spend your way out of poverty. If having money is the only thing you are, you're the poorest person on earth. God bless our first Republic premiers who did not abuse office and had enough sense to build institutions that will outshine them and outlast them when they leave office. That's what they call legacy. That's why I can never be convinced by these guys who try to paint Tinubu as what he is not. FGS, he is a public servant. You can't make this up. Except such a person is stealing he could not amass such riches. Note, I call it riches, not wealth because he didn't work for it. There's no wealth without enterprise. E no get as una wan change am. There were leaders before him, there was LKJ before him. There was Raji Rasaki, there was Marwa. None of them claimed they built Lagos but we know the work they did. Since 2003, they were talking about 4th mainland bridge, Fash no waste time to build Lekki Link bridge. Even if it's not the same, if you want to show governance, you will. There's no need for stories. They are all lies. Leave Lagos alone, what about Ogun, what about Enugu, what about Katsina? All our governors are so irresponsible, they want us to thank them for doing their work. I smh when I see our governors doing local government work and bragging about it. Look at Soludo challenging markets. Work OF LG chair undecided

These elites in public service should all be taken and flogged in the public square. After they steal, what do they do? They foolishly buy houses abroad, send their children abroad and build economies outside. They are so insecure, they can't afford to see their people living life in a normal way. They want you to be bambiala for them. That's why they are scared of us asking them questions. They want to distract you and I and take your dignity away so you can worship them. If you cannot serve, get away from there. The other day, that Governor was telling us the work no easy. Like seriously, you begged for the job, why are you complaining to us?

The case of Deziani, like our other theives in government is to show you that they are poor. Poverty of the mind and the soul. Rich people in a poor country. The irony never makes sense to them. Cowards

You can only declare war but can you win it? It's like Boko Haram where the people you are fighting have an ideology. Kill the people but the ideology is still there. If the people do not believe the justice system, sorry is your name. You can't win any war.

Was it not the same Police where a victim of JJ ran to for protection and police dismissed her for the mob to kill her because they didn't want them to descend on them?

Mr Disu, in June 2026, a 35-year-old mother of four named Ummulkhairi Aliyu was falsely accused of child kidnapping while asking for directions in Maraban Jos, Kaduna State. She was initially taken into a local police station for her safety, but an angry crowd quickly besieged the building demanding her release.

Eyewitnesses and her family alleged that the officers on duty actively handed her over to the mob to protect themselves and the facility. While the Kaduna State Police Command claimed their station was instead violently overpowered by an uncontrollable riot, the mob ultimately dragged her away, beat her, and burned her alive.

Following widespread nationwide outrage, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani ordered a formal probe into the police personnel on duty, and over 40 civilian suspects have since been charged with culpable homicide.

It baffles you? It's still insecurity. The craving to be validated, to be accepted and to wash the dirty money. Our conscience is greater than we think. But it baffles you as it baffles me. Why? It's not just thieves who behave like this. In Nigeria, we have an identity crisis. I have been posting about it recently. Look at all he got - toys! No company, no product, no factory. Wealth without enterprise can never be enterprising. What he does is what the politicians do. When they steal, they don't know what to do. It kills the brain. Whatever you don't work for and steal, the brain cannot start working automatically. That's why they encourage us to work, because there is a reward that comes with working and knowing what you worked for and where it got you.

The OP says your mind will be at peace when you have money. You think Biggie's mo money, mo problems is a joke? He also says poverty will be making your heart do somehow. I don't think you've heard about contentment. Contentment is a powerful mindset that shields you from the endless cycle of chasing external validation or wealth. It shifts your focus from what you lack to appreciating what is right in front of you. A lot of Nigerians lack it, that's why they keep chasing the mullah and they see the man who is relaxed as muuugu. Travel and see those who are poorer than you in your paper money but richer than you in issues of life. It is the current structure of Nigeria that makes you think once you have money, you can solve your problems instead of us to think like a society. Look at our rich people, if you have a health emergency, don't you think before you jet out of the country to go to one foreign hospital, you will die? Or do you think even if you have the best Nigerian doctors with you, it will keep you alive while they are carrying your body upandan in the plane instead of you to have accessed a good quality hospital? Didn't you see the tomfooooolery of our elites during covid19 or how they keep making the same mistakes by spending so much money abroad when God has blessed our environment with free gifts but they refused to appreciate it and improve on it? Nigeria is a very classist and oppressive society so I just see people with their insecurities projected on others they think they are above. That's why they system may never work because the money helps them feel at least that all animals aren't equal. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM angry🤡

If money is the only thing you have, you are truly poor.
When you understand the concept of money, you'll know why it is not everything. It is good in our current construct of life but only experience can teach you certain things. Maybe you have forgotten that your forefathers did not live with this current concept of paper money. Or the civil war did not teach you a lesson on how people who stored paper suddenly became poor? The current construct of society is deceiving you so much that you think to acquire all the gold in this world is everything but when you get it, you'll then learn the lessons of life. Anyway this conversation is more philosophical, experience is the best teacher. Enjoy your money. You don't teach a man how to enjoy his money. We came to this world with nothing, fought for everything, only to leave the things we fought for behind cry

Contentment is king of all situations

I believe we just need to save and plan for our generations to come, life should be easier for our offsprings
That doesn't mean they won't have to go fishing themselves anyway because regardless of how much they meet on ground, they must be taught never to be lazy with even what will make life easier for them
Money is good o but let me humor you a bit. You are planning for your children in Naira but they decide to pursue their future in Dhiram or Australia pound grin or let's say in 2065, the Sudanese pound is more than the British pound and your child goes there. Your child will not value all your hard work. What about children who do well than anyone in their generation has ever done?

The greatest gift to inherit from parents is not financial, but emotional and intangible, including unconditional love, presence, wisdom, and strong values. These lasting legacies shape a child's confidence and character, often considered more valuable than material wealth. Other key inheritances include a good reputation and a well-planned estate. Your plan is in estate but know that anything can happen to it.

Give your children intangible assets when you are available. During the Nigerian Civil War, the government made millionaires poor with a policy they passed. Some people have fled a country as rich people only to start their lives in a new country as refugees.

We tend to plan for life in the current image we have of it without realizing that we do not control the future we have a vision of grin

Nobody serves a local dog with a golden plate, it will end up messing up the plate. I remember someone once said if you have children and none of them can say "my father used to say, my father said this, my father used to do this", then you have not lived yet.

Don't think I am a pessimist because generational wealth exists but I just want you to look at the larger picture. What are you living for?

I like this your comment/picture, it touches one somehow in a good way.
But I have a question

Is it now wrong to catch more fishes and store them even for self consumption, so that you won't have to go back into the waters everyday to stress and catch daily ones for food.?

I understand your point anyway but just take a look at my question
That was what Africa was built on. Wetin dem call that thing again, self substicence or whatever the name is.

To your question, let me leave you with quotes. Do I live by the? Yes.

Why? Because I understand I need to survive but when I think about the chain of life, I remember that picture where we come with nothing, they brainwash us with everything, then leave us with nothing. I also watch this guy and I have found out that after all is done, we still go back to basics. The things we acquire, we don't get happiness from them but somehow they convince us that those things make us happy grin

I won't let society tell me what it takes to make me happy when after studies of the sages, I have found that what makes us happy starts with self. And nobody can take that away from me. Even the people who make life terrible and worse won't steal that from me. I cannot control them, I can control my reaction and action cheesy

Ironically, majority of the Obidients that you think you are abusing in your post, own or work in these places that you displayed in your video. Is it because the hotel or bank looks super cool, the economy of the country will automatically boom? Will the beautiful structures make food or petrol cheap? For your information, ordinary Benin Republic at our backyard there does not have structures as this but their currency is more valuable than naira. Na wetin we dey follow you talk be that, no be these wishy washy buildings we wan chop.


Wetin I even know sef? I am just an ordinary Nigerian Policewoman.
Greenery will not be used as example. They think everything is all about buildings. Then they go to Europe to watch old buildings built centuries ago. The person who thinks development is all about high rise buildings needs more education.

Lol... I don't know why this is just funny to me.

This is obviously a paid post. I just don't know if it's the school that paid or the parents of the poor child whom they are exposing to unnecessary pressure and scrutiny.
You read my mind on this topic. I think the children of this generation have suffered from parents who want to take ownership of their childhood instead of protecting their childhood as parents. What a shame.

Parents are living vicariously through their children and it is becoming a menace. It is a lack of identity, a lack of self worth and an abuse on the innocent child who is not allowed to enjoy their childhood or youth with proper adult supervision. Don't take the attention away from the child, let the freaking child play in their own world and environment. Na agbaya de steal the show of pikin, letting these kids face unnecessary humiliation the following week when they have to compare their parents. Damn it! Small time nau, these parents will enter the changing rooms of the kids and we will start complaining about Sexual Abuse. Eediots

The phone is not helping matters but when you see a lot of adult behaviour in Nigeria, you can tell that many of them have unhealed trauma. It's not just a Nigerian thing, I know, but I can tell you that parents today have spent more time condemning their own parents' style of parenting more than they have done in the actual work of parenting their kids. I feel sorry for kids born today because in a few years, many of them will come on the internet and curse their parents for putting their lives on the internet without their permission, from the announcement of pregnancy to livestreaming their birth and opening a social media page for them before they had sense. The phone has really revealed the children in us. There is a time and place for everything.

All wike knows is rigging and violence, the will of the people is not necessary as far he's pleases BAT.

That's the only reason why he is still in Tinubu's government but it's a mockery of Tinubu himself who does not mind the characters with him as long as he gets what he wants. The man is a selfish man when it comes to his ambition and he will dine with friends and enemies as long as they can give him what he wants. I am happy the so-called democrat is demystifying himself on the national stage all in the name of power.

Wike is confirming what we already knew.

SixSeven:
Wike has no option than to back Tinubu is what it sounds like. Atiku is Tinubu's opponent, Wike also became Atiku's opponent. Tinubu found that my enemy's enemy could be my friend, this is why he can't let him go. He is very useful for his type of politics. Buying houses for judges and trying to wet ground 🤡 Corruption 26

Repost

He learned it from the so-called democratic or progressive man 🤡, his boss, Concensus. For Bola to stake his head in Rivers and declare a state of emergency but he never did in Plateau, Niger and everywhere else there has been mass killing is proof that politics is his favorite subject, not governance. Wike is proof that Bola is not a true democrat and the power he has today is for his selfish reasons. This further confirms that Tinubu did not win Rivers state so he has to use force in the state.

Tinubu's path to victory is

1. Voter apathy

2. Divided opposition

3. Force/threat (he has been using this in Lagos for long but with federal resources, he now has governors like Okpebolo, Wike, SP Akpabio who's always assuring that he will win and others to threaten people to vote him or else)

4. Money (what's your price? This is why he and Atiku are two sides of a coin. In a poor corrupt country with little morals, many are willing to sell their convictions for the highest bidder)

5. Propaganda (gaslighting, see how they celebrate the uncompleted coastal road, they will accept no responsibility but blame everyone else using religion, tribe and other distraction from the main issue). The way they counted fake millions of vote is gaslight in. Gaslighting is the manipulation by psychological means of a person (or group) which causes them to doubt themselves, their capabilities or their sense of reality.



Can you now see the big picture on why Bola holds on to Wike? Lagos, Kano and Rivers are important states. The NNPP governor that went to APC and they thought they had it in the bag, the Lagos government they have been holding for years and now Rivers will still not give them the rigging they desire.
The Tinubus are from Lagos but somehow this Tinubu is from Osun State and his nephew is Oyetola. Make it make sense.

Yes Nigerians aren't worth it but you can't control people's madness. The girl who confronted the Naval Ratings in 2008 got to her tipping point when they pulled off her clothes. You can't tell when things will just click for someone. How come these same people automatically behave themselves once they leave the country? It means they know what they are doing.

Someone did this in 2008 to a Naval officer and got a court judgment in her favor. For all the abuses men throw on women here, I think the men are cowards for tolerating bad behavior instead of leading by good example (if they condemn this action)

Naval Officers Beat Up A Lady And Stripped Her - Watch Video - Politics - Nairaland

On November 3, 2008, Ms. Okere was driving in heavy traffic when the armed convoy of Rear- Admiral Harry Arogundade attempted to pass. Because she did not pull off the road quickly enough, the naval ratings guarding the Admiral became aggressive.
The naval ratings dragged Ms. Okere out of her car, beat her with whips, and violently stripped off her blouse in broad daylight, leaving her exposed from the waist up. Workers in nearby commercial buildings filmed the entire assault from their office windows. The footage was broadcast by Channels TV and shared widely online, sparking nationwide outrage against military impunity

It's because too many people joined in. That's the problem with Nigerians. Even though I don't like the act, the person who gained fame did it by finding an opportunity through his phone. I can call that correspondence in journalism. He even documented them but the moment they became too many, of course they will spoil it. One woman had been taking videos in UK buses for years, the moment brands endorsed her, Nigerians all carried camera to copy. It's very irritating. Zero creativity, just copy everything.

All this one know is how to talk. When PDP gave him ticket to contest Ogun governorship election, Ogun people didn't even know PDP fielded a candidate, likewise, himself didn't even know when and where the election held and when result was announced. But when you see his loudness on TV, you will think you have seen a heavy weight politician
He fumbled with that ticket. I thought he would take advantage of that platform to boost his performance but sometimes some people are better working for someone else. If PDP was the PDP of old, he wouldn't have had that chance yet he wasted it.
