Drsnives:It's like you've forgotten they said he didn't trust his wife because of the cabal

☝️ I believe we are a people who don't learn from history because the current first lady is claiming donation but you and I know what's going on. This woman once said her family is rich👀 they don't need your money. You should ask them all what business they do. Ask Obi, ask Tinubu, ask Atiku, ask Sowore. These people need to tell you what they do before they can manage your own money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znygf_3wx3Q

Drsnives:Buhari was at least honest to say his wife belonged to the kitchen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBBnWzWByek He didn't say kitchen cabinet, he said NY KITCHEN. |
Since this topic is about First ladies, let me remind you of something and it should be an election issue. One of the candidates, Mr Atiku has more than one wife. Ask all of them what they will do about the office of the first lady and what they did when they were once in power, if any of them were governors. Repost👇 During her husband's presidency (2010–2015), critics frequently accused Dame Patience Jonathan of overstepping her constitutional boundaries by trying to dictate political appointments and warring with state governors, notably Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State. Maybe our people choose to have selective memory. While addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters at a rally in Calabar, she explicitly told the crowd to assault political opponents who campaigned under the slogan of "change". She openly stated, "Anybody that tells you change, stone that person." In 2012, the Governor of Bayelsa State abruptly appointed her as a Permanent Secretary in the state's civil service. This sparked widespread public outrage, with critics calling it a "national embarrassment" and a textbook example of nepotism, given that she had been away from active civil service for over 13 years. Buhari's own is recent except people still want to have selective amnesia. Turai and Stella were silent in their own style but no one can forget the role of Turai when her husband was AWOL. When President Yar'Adua was hospitalized for months in Saudi Arabia between 2009 and 2010, Turai strictly controlled all physical and information access to him. She blocked senior government officials, including the Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan from seeing or speaking to the President. Why We Seized Turai Yar’adua’s Land - Abuja Minister https://www.nairaland.com/1278999/why-seized-turais-land-minister#15550811 In 2008, Turai used her position to host a massive high- society fundraiser for her NGO to build an International Cancer Centre in Abuja. Billions of Naira were donated by state governors, wealthy businessmen, and government contractors. Decades later, the project remains a ghost town. The multi-billion-naira facility was abandoned, and hundreds of vehicles and specialized medical equipment bought with public and donated funds were left to rust away. Investigative journalists and government health ministries launched probes into the project, questioning how billions vanished while ordinary Nigerians continued to fly abroad for cancer treatments. In the final days of her husband's administration in 2010, the land was allocated to Turai's NGO, the Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYEF). Later, the government revoked it, claiming it was public land meant for the African First Ladies Peace Mission. It was subsequently handed over to her successor, Patience Jonathan. Turai sued the sitting government and Patience Jonathan, refusing alternative land offers. In 2013, the court ruled in Turai's favor. The FCT Minister publicly blasted her, accusing her of using her twilight days as First Lady to illegally convert public institutional land for personal NGO use. The biggest political scandal tied directly to Stella Obasanjo broke in early 2005, regarding the privatization of federal government property in Lagos. An anonymous whistleblower revealed that 207 prime government-owned properties in luxury estates like Ikoyi were being sold quietly at highly reduced, non-market prices to top officials. To the deep embarrassment of President Obasanjo-who had campaigned heavily on an anti-corruption platform-almost the entire Abebe family (Stella's maiden family) was discovered on the list of secret buyers. President Obasanjo was forced to publicly cancel the entire housing deal and summarily fired his Minister of Housing, Mobolaji Osomo, for mishandling the allocations. Newspaper editors who labeled her "Greedy Stella" over the affair were arrested by state security, causing a massive free-speech outcry. Unlike previous administrations where the wives of the Vice President and state governors enjoyed prominent public platforms, Stella was heavily criticized for attempting to centralize all female political power in Nigeria under herself. In 2003, she summoned the wives of all 36 state governors to Abuja and explicitly declared, "There is only one First Lady in Nigeria." She banned them from using the title "First Lady" within their respective states, ordering them to restrict themselves to "Wife of the Governor." Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and other civil rights activists fiercely criticized her behavior. Soyinka denounced her as "arrogant" and publicly urged President Obasanjo to restrain his wife's unconstitutional excesses, calling the office of the First Lady an ostentatious, vulgar carry-over from military dictatorship. Tragically, on October 23, 2005, Stella died at the age of 59 due to severe surgical malpractice. Her death itself became a flashpoint for intense public criticism regarding the elite's behavior. The irony of her death was not lost in sight when it was revealed that she had secretly flown to Marbella, Spain, to undergo an elective cosmetic surgery (liposuction) right before her 60th birthday (Her Spanish surgeon was later convicted of negligent homicide after puncturing her internal organs and leaving her unattended for hours). The Nigerian public reacted with a mixture of grief and anger. Critics noted the tragic irony that while ordinary Nigerians were suffering under a collapsing national healthcare system, the First Lady flew to an expensive European resort town for an elective aesthetic procedure. Since Abacha died, we have had a first lady die, a president fall ill, another president fall ill, a president's wife (Aisha) complain about state hospital but the country never learns, it's just one person who takes over after the next and nothing changes. Please continue to post facts that this olodo uprising will refuse to do a simple google search on their phone and be pushing ideas in their head without verification. You don't even need to be alive at that time but simple search will save you. I am not interested in the women because they are spouses to the person we elected. They have no business with us and while Buhari was criticized for saying his wife belonged to the kitchen and other room, maybe he knew what he meant. If that's the way he wanted his wife to be, who knows her better than he does? Because all the Aso Rock trouble we heard after that was enough to understand the statement. Anyway, there is no office of the first lady and we need to stop indulging them. It's corruption and no one will want to touch the President's wife but we must give commendation to Obasanjo for how he handled the Ikoyi houses allocation scandal. When the whistleblower leaked the list of secret buyers, revealing that almost the entire Abebe family (his wife Stella's relatives) had been allocated prime government property at heavily discounted prices, Obasanjo did not attempt a cover-up. Despite the immense pressure it put on his marriage, he immediately canceled the entire luxury housing deal. To prove his anti-corruption drive wasn't just rhetoric, Obasanjo immediately fired his Minister of Housing, Mobolaji Osomo, for allowing the non-transparent, nepotistic allocation process to happen in the first place. He made it clear that nobody-regardless of their connections to the First Lady was above the law. Again, I want that office removed although it does not exist because we feed it oxygen. I can commend all the first ladies for their NGOs and empowerment schemes but I also consider those things as conduit pipe to siphon state money indirectly. They can be an interference to the Ministry of Women's affairs. IYKYK

Obi has also said this. He has not only said, he has done. We need to hear from Atiku and the rest.

This dangerous politics you people are playing all because you are interested in winning, you will all soon meet your waterloo. It's a matter of time. He who destroys his father's home and sells his brothers cannot be trusted in the market.

Mindlog: Youngstar76:Haven't you heard of Greek gifts before? |
We don't learn in this country so I don't bother anymore. After all, we lost Stella abroad and Yar'Adua abroad. https://www.tiktok.com/video/7407139699069914374 I thought the next occupants would have sense but no. Only Osinbajo inspired hope and showed leadership in that little act he took after his helicopter accident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fy1t2c4yMU

Sheuns:You don't know some people's leader? As the Governor of Lagos State, he signed the controversial Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension) Law No. 11 of 2007 just weeks before completing his second term. This legislative move pioneered what became known as jumbo pensions for ex-governors across Nigeria. At least 22 other Nigerian states eventually copied the Lagos model and enacted similar laws. This move made him the first governor in Nigeria to create a lifetime pension package for himself and future ex-governors. Until then, pensions were meant for regular civil servants who worked for decades, but Tinubu changed the rules of the game. His new law treated former governors like royalty for the rest of their days. The original deal was breathtakingly generous. It promised ex-governors two luxury mansions, one in Lagos and another in Abuja. It also guaranteed six brand-new cars every three years, a full-time salary for life, and massive allowances to cover everything from furniture to entertainment. To top it off, the state provided them with a personal staff of cooks, drivers, and security guards. Governors in 22 other states watched from afar and loved the idea. They quickly copied Tinubu's blueprint, passing identical laws to secure their own heavy payouts. But everyday citizens grew furious over the years, arguing it was deeply unfair to give so much wealth to politicians while regular retirees struggled to survive. The public anger eventually became too loud to ignore. In 2021, the Lagos State government finally bowed to pressure and stepped in. They slashed the benefits by 50%, cancelled the free houses, and cut down the fleet of cars. The packages are much smaller now, but history remembers Tinubu as the pioneer who started Nigeria's era of political pensions. He really did build Lagos for his comfort.

Let me make it more humorous. At a point in time, we had two presidents of the country abroad. The former one was telling us he saw his brother abroad 🤡

When our last president wanted to get into Aso Rock, he said he would ban foreign medical trips. Alas, guess where he died? In a foreign land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9bDZAMhr-8

🔼 If you think what I wrote above is not true, look at what I found recently 👇 Look at the first two photos of Obi on PM news. AMINDA burst the fake news and showed them the original. You can say it is politics and let's ignore it but it's more than that. If people are willing to lie against someone and put another person's picture in the name of politics, think about how Donald Duke's picture was used in this man's documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BhkypNvslQ That's why his lawyer said go and ask him where he schooled yourself.
This is the same country where Salisu Buhari's lawyer, the legendary Chief Rotimi Williams (san), advised him to drop his 500 million libel suit and confess to his crime. In 1999, the newly elected Speaker of Nigeria's House of Representatives, Salisu Buhari, was exposed by The News magazine for forging his age (claiming to be 36 when he was 29) and his academic credentials, including a fake degree from the University of Toronto. This was a country where lawyers will tell you what the right thing was. This people are showing you who they are so I cannot blame them. If you continue to select them, then your children will learn from you and what you tolerate as standards. Someone is talking about his biography but doesn't have his own childhood picture. You think these things don't matter? On this thread, I asked them what does he do for a living? https://www.nairaland.com/8588390/throwback-seyi-tinubu-during-nysc#137924675 They said I will wail tire. To them, everything in this life is money. They are so poor, money is the only thought of life to them. Hmmmmm If we crush the seed of integrity just to celebrate the chaff, what will our children eat when the famine of character arrives?

I have no problem with Tinubu anymore. The joke is not on him, the joke is on Nigeria as a society. A society that lacks integrity and explains away questionable things is making itself look like a clownish society. Tinubu is not the problem, it is the society that made it acceptable to lack integrity that is. In a normal society, it is APC as a party that would have screened out Tinubu, not the courts, not FBI. APC would have looked at who had better qualifications and moral compass as a party. It's not everything that is court or has to be written in the constitution. Some things are moral but what do I know? A whole SAN reminded us that the law is not moral and that's one of the first lessons I learned in law. Education is not enough, you can be educated but not learned, you can go to school but not schooled, you can come from a home but not raised properly and you can claim a lot of things but never be able to tell truth. Integrity is very expensive, all the money in the world cannot buy it. My fear is that because one of them is already in power, it will give the ginger to the other ones without morals that they too can be anything in life because society refused to hold itself to a better higher standard.

ekineme:Are you minding them? Normally I want all candidates to be scrutinized, so this is welcome but if people can be foolish enough to scrutinize only one candidate and leave the one that is currently in charge of their lives, that's madness. Maybe I should start the scrutiny from Bola Tinubu who was the first governor in Nigeria to implement a state-level life pension law for former governors and their deputies. Yes, that's how he served us. As the Governor of Lagos State, he signed the controversial Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension) Law No. 11 of 2007 just weeks before completing his second term. This legislative move pioneered what became known as jumbo pensions for ex-governors across Nigeria. At least 22 other Nigerian states eventually copied the Lagos model and enacted similar laws.

Or should I tell you the man who protested against fuel tax and VAT hike but guess what he did when he came in? Hissing.

If you use a lot of F words when you speak or write, it says alot about your mindset. That's just my opinion. It suggests to me that you have a problem expressing yourself, it's like babies who have not developed properly so they talk and write out of rage and frustration. |

quadraheem:The reason why our food is the way it is is because it is not processed or stored for long. It is FRESH. |
Innovation is good and I like it but I want to remind Nigerians to stop trying to be like foreigners. Be yourself. Stop changing your food to western like food. Be proud of what you have please. I am eating akara and I put it inside bread. What's wrong there? Why is the person who puts a hot dog inside his bread not trying to do the same thing? That's because they accept their food. Learn to accept your food Nigerians. Putting a hot meal of amala in a plastic container is dangerous to your health my buddy. A burrito is made of a soft flour tortilla wrapped around a filling of meat or beans, rice, cheese, and salsa. What is wrong with eating rice and beans? What is wrong in putting beans in your bread? My guy, be yourself. Don't be foreign. Be original. |
"When global powers want to seriously engage or negotiate with other powerful communities, they consult their academics, strategists, and scholars. But when those same powers want to address or manage the African continent, they intentionally bypass the intellectuals and use musicians, athletes, and entertainers instead." According to Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, the goal of the "cultural bomb" is to make people ashamed of who they are so they look to outsiders for answers. When a major crisis happens in Africa, global powers intentionally put singers and celebrities in the spotlight to speak for the people. This is a deliberate distraction. By keeping the focus on emotional art and music instead of hard facts and smart strategy, global powers ensure that the public stays emotional and divided instead of organized, smart, and truly powerful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYP9sJvDcYE |

Chai Oluwole Grammar School Old Boys Association I've seen three of them at least posting this fake photo. Maybe they circulated it on their WhatsApp group to flood the internet with fake news. |
