Plateau wants to captured by force

Mariangeles:
All these APC stipend boys, creating fake groups, and calling them Obidients, just to create confusion.

That is their new MO.

Kajaard:
Na Echegini I like pass for the team. Her swag is too much. Lovely girl.

prinsam30:
Seriously speaking they are really trying this second half

flokii:
I don't know why.. but something compels me to believe Atiku's side of the story.
The Former Vice-President might have his shortcomings, but I don't think he is as bad as his former principal wants us to believe.

gadogado:
Insanity. Atiku was 54 years old when he became president and had been retired from customs for 11 years when he contested office. Stop listening to beer parlor gist.

DrAkpa:
It's nobody's fault that due to your poor background, you feel it's rocket science to acquire wealth at 42 years. You need help, Son

iwaeda:
Atiku Abubakar is the next President. OBJ is just afraid of him. If God endorsed, nothing else.

sleek214:
Atiku accepting to be your Vice was the greatest mistake of his life.

AMINDA:
They have a penchant for kneeling down to beg and then moving against you as soon as they get what they want. Like Obasanjo and Atiku, like Tinubu and Elrufai. Circa 2003, all the governors were in support of Atiku and were ready to support him as president. It was said that Obasanjo had to beg Atiku to allow him to go for a second term which Atiku obliged. The rest is history. Atiku is not a small politician. He stepped down for MKO Abiola in 1991. He funded Obasanjo's campaign in 1999 and gave him the Yar'adua structure that he inherited. He has paid his dues and he should cease all form of respect for Obasanjo and also roll in the mud with him.

AMINDA:
Atiku has challenged anyone who has any evidence of corruption against him to step forward. Neither yourself, Tinubu, or Obasanjo have done so. Obasanjo is only mad that Atiku stopped him from getting a third term. If Tinubu attempts the same (God forbid he wins re-election), Shettima will also oppose him. Northerners are not cowards, and they don't go through corners. When will Obasanjo write one of those famous letters he's known for to Tinubu? Where is Wole Soyinka?

Tenses:
You should go and ask hungry men under oshodi flyover this question if your head will remain the same.

Your tinubu has destroy the likelihood of Nigerians.

Nah train we go chop?!!!

Naptu2, the tinubu omokri wannabe

A junkie in the villa still has supporters.

How Nigeria's Mineral Wealth Is Being Handed to China

Nigeria’s Minister for Mines, Dele Henry Alake, prides himself on his re-election as Chairman of the newly formed Africa Minerals Strategy Group. He congratulates himself on the cover of magazines. As a former journalist Minister Alake is good with scripting media stories. He doesn’t have any background in mining or related industries. During President Tinubu’s two terms as Governor of Lagos State it was Alake who managed the Governor’s media as the Commissioner for Information and Strategy.

Since bagging the Ministry for Sold Minerals Development Minister Alake’s primary focus has been on securing large-scale investments and fostering partnerships for local mineral processing. This has led to the development of several lithium processing plants in Nigeria, primarily backed by Chinese investment.

Minister Alake’s emphasis on moving beyond raw material extraction to local processing is a good decision that will support Nigeria's industrialization and economic diversification. However, favouring Chinese companies and punishing local Nigerian miners is a cruel blow to Nigerians and a step too far in surrendering Nigeria’s natural assets to a foreign power.

Under Minister Alake's tenure, major Chinese companies such as Canmax Technology, Jiuling Lithium, Avatar New Energy, and Asba have pledged lithium processing facilities in Nigeria.

Since late 2025, Canmax has aggressively secured raw spodumene (lithium ore) to feed its expanding processing faciliies. Canmax Technologies is primarily owned and controlled by its founder and chairman, Mr Pei Zhenhua, alongside his wife, Rong Jianfen. Alake claims Canmax is investing US$200M to develop lithium mining operations in Nigeria, in line with Chinese aggressive moves to control African mineral resources and infrastructure such as ports and railways necessary to exploit the mineral reserves.

In late 2025, Chinese megafirm CATL announced plans to increase its stake in Canmax's lithium subsidiaries. CATL holds approximately 40 percent of the global EV battery market and almost 70 percent of the NCM (Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese) battery market in China. China as a whole processes approximately 65 percent to 80 percent of the world’s lithium. As the dominant player in China, CATL effectively directs a majority of the lithium hydroxide refined within the country toward its own Gigafactories.

While UK company Jupiter Lithium Ltd’s massive lithium project in Kaduna State reels under the onslaught from armed illegal miners, Alake's ministry deployed a specialized security unit known as Mining Marshals to safeguard nearby Canmax and Avatar sites from illegal mining activities. No amount of requests from Jupiter for assistance from Minister Alake elicited any support. Rather, Minister Alake revoked key lithium deposits discovered by Jupiter and allowed Chinese mining companies, escorted by Federal Government security, to enter Jupiter’s leases and commence mining and removing the ore mined and stockpiled by Jupiter.

Minister Alake has prioritised diplomatic engagement with Chinese officials to discuss strengthening bilateral relations and find ways to diminish the public attention to China’s involvement in illegal mining in Nigeria.

The mines minister has become a strong and frequent advocate for China’s involvement in Nigeria’s minerals and infrastructure development which has been a hallmark of his many trips to China.

Nigeria has fallen into line with China’s strategy for accessing and controlling Africa’s minerals resources and delivering more markets for Chinese technology and products.

China’s first stage of embedding itself in another nation is the offer to develop a country’s infrastructure; ports, roads, airports and railways. This essential infrastructure often facilitates the development of mineral projects China has chosen.

The second stage is introducing Chinese technology through the project development, especially surveillance technology. China replaces the US-based Global Positioning System (GPS) with China’s BeiDou satellite navigation system and blocks access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite. In so doing China is able to offer its support for the national government while penetrating Nigeria’s national security. Chinese technology can deliver facial recognition throughout entire cities, even at night.

In Iran several of China’s communications companies including Huawei, facial recognition and ethnicity tracking company Tiandy Technologies and ZTE, often operating through Iranian front companies, have worked with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to provide 360 degrees 24/7 surveillance of Iran’s population. Iran and China have signed a 25-year co-operation agreement that will facilitate the transfer of a range of surveillance and monitoring technologies under the Belt and Road Initiative.


Surveillance of a nation’s populations is now an integral part of China’s program of building a nation’s infrastructure through roads, airports and mines. This provides an unprecedented tool for national governments to retain power and be manipulated by China

jmoore:
Because they are intelligent.
1. They know the difference between loan and grant. Loan must be paid back.

2. They know that Tinubu reduced the purchasing power, devalued naira. So giving a loan can never bribe them to ignore the deformation of TINUBULATION policies.


Video of Tinubu dancing for getting loans from worldbank or.....

MamaFryo:
The same woman that spoke positively about GEJ's government but what did Tinubu & his dogs do? She now supports the people that would rather see Nigerians beg than being uplifted.

The people that said Tinubu should widen his tax net on the people. I don't blame her. We all know who benefits from the misery of Nigerians.


Wetin I even know sef? I am just an ordinary Nigerian Policewoman.

ariesbull:
Is it that bad...I noticed that SW is topping the chat in bad infrastructure why is it that and yet they claim IGR and all what not

Judemarco31:
Few months now Reno Omokri has been on low key. Those of you on his social media pages should give us update because he blocked me in all his social media.

We are still waiting for his Mexico Ambassadorial induction, the excuse he gave last was that "Mexico is still occupied with World cup football they co-hosted"

franchasng:
Be looting Nigeria dry in the name of doing roads, yeye man

israelmao:
Political campaign is set for Jangaban.

renderme:
Nigeria decided to step into the 21st century.

Once upon a time in Awolowos country, we had the 1st TV station in subsaharan Africa. Even before some European countries. Some people decided to take us 1 million steps backward and threw the hardworking visionary in prison.

President Tinubu is intentional and I love how he is focused on every sector working.

eagleonearth:
In all sincerity, we deserve the nonsense our politicians are dishing out to us. All we do all day is using our #100 data to drag ourselves. Obidient or no obedient, are you okay as a Nigerian youth? Can you put down in black and white what you and your family benefit from this government? How does a government facility like NTA put food on your table? You guys are almost sounding like bots. Renew your minds guys.

OAFMods:
Alex Otti should respond to all this allegation coming his way thisday instead of thinking they will go away just like that.

BlocksNG:
Say no to terrorism. Isreal doesn't romance with terrorists and that's why they are winning in all fronts.

frankputer:
This is massive.
Can other state government emulate this ?
