We are waiting patiently for 2027. Majority of Nigerians are tired of the drug baron and certificate forger. The process that brought in that tout and agbero into power, the same process will be used to kick out of Aso Rock. He should not forget so easily how he frustrated Jonathan during his regime. What goes around will definitely come around and that is the life's principle.

Just changing the government wouldn't fix the problem in Nigeria.

greatiyk4u:
Hahaha
Whoever wins is not our problem, removing Tinubu is a duty everyone should take as KPI

That is what they said when they removed GEJ and handed the country over to Buhari and the APC.

Nigerians must be strategic; otherwise, it will repeat the cycle of failure. A political party made up of failed politicians will continue the cycle of Failure in the country.

IgOga:
Hope Atiku's money never touch David hand


Everybody will be alright

PO will be Atiku's VP in 2027 that should be of concern to you

Godfullsam:
Despite the naira devaluation, the foreign direct investment is still abysmally low.

Hopefully, the new tax law regime will attract foreign investors .

But balablu and his goons must fix our security challenges and embark on massive infrastructural development.

Else we will just be beating about the jungle.

Nigeria lacks the necessary capacity (in terms of skilled workers, electricity, technology, data centres, and internet) to attract investment.) The issue of insecurity also deters potential investors.

Isreal policy

Abiola was not a good role model
Him too dey snatch people's wives and children

It was just that God Almighty used him to get rid of military rule

Abiola -ITT, his government would have been the second coming of the Buhari and Tinubu governments. They are crooks

discusant:
Abandonment of responsibility. Nigeria's operating a quasi unitary government system where most of oil earnings go to the central government. What will the federal government be doing with its lion share of oil revenues aa it leaves states to use their paltry allocations to provide electricity infrastructures?

In the age of solar, wind and Hydro, a good state can build an electricity grid that will attract private investors who will replace the earnings of oil.

PaNnamdi:
Even at that Nigeria need to spend atleast 150billion dollars to garantee stable electricity accross major cities in the 36 states of the federatio.

The solution to the problem is to focus on regional and state needs. States now have a full control of their energy requirements. A state like Lagos can invite both public and private needs.

When Fulani kill in the South, the Northern governors never send delegates to bend the knee, but that useless Edo governor was quick to bend the knee, and now the North expect this offering.

Mangu killings: We’ve not received official delegation from Plateau – Zazzau Emir
Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamali

Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, has expressed concern that no official delegation from Plateau state has come to Zaria to condole with families of the victims who were murdered in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau while on their way to a wedding.

Daily Trust had reported how 31 wedding travellers were attacked by a mob. While 13 were killed, others sustained injuries and the vehicle which was conveying them was burnt to ashes.

While receiving a delegation of religious leaders led by former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, at his palace in Zaria, the first-class monarch spoke on the issue.


While appreciating the solidarity of the delegation, the Emir noted that, “As of the time of the visit, no official delegation from the Plateau State Government had come to Zaria to condole with the victims’ families or assess the situation.”

Police arrest principal, others for allegedly burning student with hot iron
Bamalli, therefore, urged the Plateau State Government to act swiftly and ensure that justice is served.

The Emir emphasized the critical need for unity across Northern Nigeria, calling on leaders and communities to collaborate toward sustainable peace.

On his part, Dalung said they were in Zaria to extend condolences to the affected community and the Zazzau Emirate, and called for calm while urging authorities to prosecute those arrested in connection with the killings.

Dalung, accompanied by the General Overseer of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry, Pastor (Dr.) Yohanna Buru, expressed deep sorrow over the attack, describing the incident as both devastating and shameful, especially given that the perpetrators and victims are from the same region.

He also emphasized the need to intensify efforts to apprehend those involved in the attack.

“We came to condole with the bereaved community and its leaders. We also visited Professor Ango Abdullahi and finally, met with the Emir of Zazzau, His Highness Amb. Nuhu Bamalli, to extend our sympathy to the entire Emirate and people of Kaduna state.

“We are praying for peace — not only in the state but across the country,” he said.

In his condolence, Pastor Buru condemned the killings, saying they were “unprovoked and senseless”.

Pastor George T. John, of the Peace Revival and Reconciliation Foundation, who was also part of the delegation, said the community was still grieving deeply.

He condemned the attacks in strong terms, labeling it as heinous crime.

Yakubu Yusuf, a relative of some of the victims from Angwan Dantsoho community in Kudan Local Government Area, while appreciating the visitors, appealed to both state and federal governments to support the orphans left behind by the victims.

PeachtreeReside:
I concur! The people that asked it be stopped did not think deep at all, nor think into The Future, The State Goverments too should ensure that they provide proper ways and means to dispose of dirt and ensure we recycle properly too,

Who are the people, that requested the ending of the Monthly Sanitation Exercise To Prevent Diseases and why?

Righteousness2:
Iran has Officially join the List of Goliaths brought low and Humbled by little ISRAEL.

Little Israel was funded and armed by the big USA. Israel's entire military arsenal is from the USA

ivandragon:
'Sounds' good, but the devil is always in the details and the reality on ground...

So, let's do the comparative analysis shall we...

1. Base (period, value etc)

A. Comparative period 2014 and 2025 (2014 is used or 2 reasons. 1. That was when apc came to power. 2. The people in power today protested against the socioeconomic conditions of 2014)

B. Monetary value (using fx rates)
N250,000 today is equivalent to N34,000 in 2014.

So, a brief random comparative analysis would reveal the following...

In 2014, N34,000 would get you about 380 litres of pms.
In 2025, N250,000 gets you about 266 litres of pms.


In 2014, N34,000 got you about 4+ bags of rice.
In 2025, N250,000 gets you 3+ bags of rice.

In 2014, N34,000 got 10 bags of NPK fertilizer.
In 2025, N250,000 gets 5 bags of NPK fertilizer.

In 2014, N34,000 got 55 small baskets of tomatoes.
In 2025, N250,000 gets 42 small baskets of tomatoes.

So, are Nigerians better off socioeconomically under bat?

Your guess is as good as whatever you have surmised...

In 2014, the Nigerian government was subsidising the Naira. Had the GEJ government floated the Naira in 2014, the Naira would have been 1400 to $1

booblacain:
He will not appear in ten days and you guys will do nothing.

There lies the problem: NASS is tootlhess and useless

onatisi:
Tinubu reelection is gradually bleeding away .with each day of insecurity in the north ,his chances of reelection dims .

Who will replace him the blood sucking fundamentalist that killed 200 and kept quite.

ddippset:
Very true

All the indices support this assertion.

Tinubu has been a disaster..


When Buhari said we were going to miss him we all thought it was a cruel joke..


But alas! Right before our very eyes!!

Nigerians want a government that will continue to borrow funds to subsidise imported fuel. Eighty per cent of Nigerian states have no Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), yet the country aspires to wealth.

Nigerians are just too lazy to develop

Kukutente23:
You really think the US did not have those satellite images? Who owns Maxar technologies? Have you considered that those strikes were to take out more critical infra before Iran could move them?
Besides, do you support the Shiite Muslims and their leader Zakzaky in Nigeria or their support for them is only limited to their fight against infidels?

It is now evident that Iran was working within the NPT regulations, and the US strike was a violation of the UN.

Interesting artile on the clobal AI divide and Africa.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/23/technology/ai-computing-global-divide.html

rtificial intelligence has created a new digital divide, fracturing the world between nations with the computing power for building cutting-edge A.I. systems and those without. The split is influencing geopolitics and global economics, creating new dependencies and prompting a desperate rush to not be excluded from a technology race that could reorder economies, drive scientific discovery and change the way that people live and work.

The biggest beneficiaries by far are the United States, China and the European Union. Those regions host more than half of the world’s most powerful data centers, which are used for developing the most complex A.I. systems, according to data compiled by Oxford University researchers. Only 32 countries, or about 16 percent of nations, have these large facilities filled with microchips and computers, giving them what is known in industry parlance as “compute power.”

The United States and China, which dominate the tech world, have particular influence. American and Chinese companies operate more than 90 percent of the data centers that other companies and institutions use for A.I. work, according to the Oxford data and other research.

In contrast, Africa and South America have almost no A.I. computing hubs, while India has at least five and Japan at least four, according to the Oxford data. More than 150 countries have nothing.

Today’s A.I. data centers dwarf their predecessors, which powered simpler tasks like email and video streaming. Vast, power-hungry and packed with powerful chips, these hubs cost billions to build and require infrastructure that not every country can provide. With ownership concentrated among a few tech giants, the effects of the gap between those with such computing power and those without it are already playing out.

There has long been a tech gap between rich and developing countries. Over the past decade, cheap smartphones, expanding internet coverage and flourishing app-based businesses led some experts to conclude that the divide was diminishing. Last year, 68 percent of the world’s population used the internet, up from 33 percent in 2012, according to the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency.

With a computer and knowledge of coding, getting a company off the ground became cheaper and easier. That lifted tech industries across the world, be they mobile payments in Africa or ride hailing in Southeast Asia.

But in April, the U.N. warned that the digital gap would widen without action on A.I. Just 100 companies, mostly in the United States and China, were behind 40 percent of global investment in the technology, the U.N. said. The biggest tech companies, it added, were “gaining control over the technology’s future.”

The gap stems partly from a component everyone wants: a microchip known as a graphics processing unit, or GPU. The chips require multibillion-dollar factories to produce. Packed into data centers by the thousands and mostly made by Nvidia, GPUs provide the computing power for creating and delivering cutting-edge A.I. models.

Obtaining these pieces of silicon is difficult. As demand has increased, prices for the chips have soared, and everyone wants to be at the front of the line for orders. Adding to the challenges, these chips then need to be corralled into giant data centers that guzzle up dizzying amounts of power and water.

Many wealthy nations have access to the chips in data centers, but other countries are being left behind, according to interviews with more than two dozen tech executives and experts across 20 countries. Renting computing power from faraway data centers is common but can lead to challenges, including high costs, slower connection speeds, compliance with different laws, and vulnerability to the whims of American and Chinese companies.

Qhala, a start-up in Kenya, illustrates the issues. The company, founded by a former Google engineer, is building an A.I. system known as a large language model that is based on African languages. But Qhala has no nearby computing power and rents from data centers outside Africa. Employees cram their work into the morning, when most American programmers are sleeping, so there is less traffic and faster speeds to transfer data across the world.

“Proximity is essential,” said Shikoh Gitau, 44, Qhala’s founder.

“If you don’t have the resources for compute to process the data and to build your A.I. models, then you can’t go anywhere,” said Kate Kallot, a former Nvidia executive and the founder of Amini, another A.I. start-up in Kenya.

Welcome2Lagos:
Hello Nairalanders,

I stopped by Iyana Ipaja Bus Stop in Lagos and took two quick shots to show this busy transport hub just as it is — raw and unfiltered.

How often do you pass through here?
What comes to your mind when you see this place?
Any memories or interesting experiences at Iyana Ipaja?
What do you like or dislike about this area?

Feel free to share your thoughts!

Lagos is overpopulated.

Any coalition led by the Fulani's is dead on arrival. Even Peter Obi realised the flaw in the Fulani political power grab. The only opposition to Tinubu is Peter Obi, as he can disrupt the Tinubu South and Middle Belt coalition.

Konquest:
The Northerners (or largely Fulani legislators of the far Northern states in Hausa land) have no choice right now as they are even the ones calling for the implementation of states and communities policing based on what I have read.

My only concern is that once it's approved, they shouldn't use it to oppress the indigenous Hausas who are already angrily protesting in videos I have seen online about the minority Fulani political hegemonists dominating them in their ancestral lands. NO Hausa man or woman is currently the state Governor of any of the Hausa states such as Katsina but only the minority Fulani Governors and NO Hausa man has ever been the President of Nigeria since 1960 except the minority Fulani hegemonists despite the Hausas are larger in population than them. The constitutional amendment has to ensure that a minority group of foreign origin does NOT dominate the majority indigenous Hausas and other indigenous Nigerians.

The South cannot be concerned with the plight of the Hausa. We have to save ourselves first, then worry about the Hausa latter.

Konquest:
Indeed, an urgent constitutional amendment is needed to do all these listed right above and the President of Nigeria can trigger that right away by urging the Federal legislator to immediately act, otherwise every Tom, Dick, and Harry will continue to heap blames on him (Tinubu) for these acts when it's a well-known in global security strategy the "security is local." The deployment of surveillance and weaponized drones, aerial surveillance platforms from the Air Force, and advanced satellite tracking will largely solve this problem of the infiltration of Nigeria by foreign Fulani herdsmen and bandits.

Enough of the pussy footing by the Federal lawmakers in Nigeria on implementing those low-hanging fruits that can easily trigger economic development and peaceful security in any ecosystem.

The Northern Legislator will block any attempt to implement state or community police. In their minds, the state police might be the final nail in Nigeria's unity. A region with a well-armed state and community police can easily walk out of Nigeria.

Celestialsword:
what Nigeria actually needed is community police and not state police

We need community police, LGA police and state police, all armed and prepared to protect their communities

wink2015:
I agree with your suggestions.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO CREATE STATE POLICE.

Tinubu is only thinking of 2027 Presidential election.

He is a very selfish and greedy man, like most Nigerian politicians. He laughed at GEJ when Buhari /Pantanmi and CPC were doing the same when they were sponsoring Boko Haram.

As much as I dislike him , he has one job to do: use executive order to push state police across Nigeria so that we can fight back with automatic weapons and have a chance against the ongoing Fulani insurgency.

Tinubu support state police and allows people to have arms to protect themselves

SarkinYarki:
CPC is really fight Tinubu , if you know you know , unfortunately Tinubu has refused to fight terrorism head on

You cannot defeat terrorism if the terrorists are in your government or among your fellow politicians. Tinubu is paying the price for his greed. When he should have supported GEJ, he joined forces with the Fulani, and now they have directed their attention to his government.

Botragelad:
No way this is happening. No way people do not find this embarrassing.

How does Iran keep losing soldiers, generals, and scientists left and right, not to mention their nuclear facilities getting blown up, yet they and their supporters make so much noise and spread lies online?

You’d think they were taking out Israeli generals or commanders too. Is this what the Ayatollah's Iran has come to? LOL. Can’t even protect their own soldiers. Haha.

So you believe the Israeli government propaganda machine.

madridguy:
And Nigeria should also ban India coming into our country?

We should have a two-way ban. Nigeria should be banned from travelling to India, and Indians should be prohibited from travelling to Nigeria.

JaySmart4422:
Nigeria is only buying and wasting time
In the end Nigeria will go

What is going on in some part of Nigeria has clearly shown that no politician can fix Nigeria !

No politician is truly concerned about Nigerians they are more concerned about winning elections and travelling abroad for holidays n medical attention.


Na poor followers dey die like chicken

Now that this fire is burning slowing Nigerians should raise up and demand for the needful.

Finally, someone who gets it. Nigeria is beyond political salvation; politicians are using insecurity to undermine the sitting government. The country is now ripe for a coup, but a coup will be the end Nigeria.

Mrfixitt:
Tinubu has done nothing meaningful for the Benue people. He should have made a strong order to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.

What have the people of Benue done for themselves? When the Fulanis are attacking in the SE/SS, both regions created organised resistance.

codemaniacs:
It is wrong to use percentages to analyze data and statistics...

the SW has a higher population than the SE so when you use percentages the result will wrongly show the SE with a higher position.

if imo state population is 5,400,000 then that = 5,400,000 * 96% = 5,184,000 literates

lagos state population is 22,000,000 then that = 22,000,000 * 96% = 21,120,000 literates

from the above, can you tell which state has a higher number of literate people

from the same chart you are using even Oyo state has more literates than Imo that is in 1st position.

Oyo state population is 8,540,000 then that = 8,540,000 * 80% = 6,832,000 literates

If the SW is getting it wrong, let's call it out and fix the problem. The situation is not as bad as the North's and can be easily reversed with the introduction of free universal education and primary health care.

erad:
We love education or we are blind consumers?

What is the impact of all these universities?

They keep young people off the street, create jobs for lecturers and administrators and provide business for landlords, or you would rather they herd cattle like Fulani in the North.
