except you want to keep losing to yourself. obi increases school fees as governor and when anambarian protested, he simply told them that school is not meant to the poor. look most people already knows that. obi started doing donations to school becos of presidency. no doubt Kwankwaso invested massively on education as governor. he was far far a better governor than the failure. there was a report on several newspapers back then, when he sponsors about 500 Kano indigene on scholarship at igbinedion university. he also sponsors others abroad. obi is even the least on impact made on education as a public servant.

Then why are there millions of children out of school in Kano

Education starts at nursery, primary and secondary schools. The majority of these universities, including the Indian owned Mewar International University Nigeria, are glorified secondary schools

Wizardslayer:
The only viable solution to Nigeria problems is a coordinated disintegration along religious and ethnic lines.

Ethnicity, corruption and religion holding Nigeria backward.

I have to agree with you.

If Burkina Faso and Mali were united to CIV and Ghana, the security situation in CIV and Ghana would have been similar to Nigeria. The North have to choose between Sharia and Nigeria.

LordIsaac:
Regardless, it is for moments like this we have a commander in chief. If he cannot secure the land, his time in office is over...he should let anyone who will.
Your so called prayer request is to be answered by the government, not God. That's why they are elected to provide leadership.

No Nigerians can secure Nigeria unless we are prepared to face the real issue - Islamist insurgency across West Africa

WhizdomXX:
Yes we can Boss. Middleincome earners that are coughing out 20 m, 10m, 5m, to do solar are not fools. Low income earners/ starting families are using -2m 3m, 5m to have peace.
Even market women selling perishable goods and cold drinks are bringing their 500k-2m to have their electricity.

As Nigerians, we tend to blame one man rather than the system that allows him to come to power. Tinubu and Buhari were not qualified to be president of Nigeria, yet the Nigerian system worked for them. Unless Nigerians fight the system, then Tinubu will be reelected in 2027

Onyiiobi7735:
SAs behave worse than a pack of wild dogs.
This is exactly what Whites saw decades ago in them, and imposed the apartheid system on them.
Of all 55 countries of Africa, only SA experienced apartheid.
Truly the blacks there deserved it many times over.

If Nigeria had a temperate climate, instead of forests and mosquitoes, maybe the White would have settled in Nigeria and introduced apartheid.

Fix your country.

Nastrademus:
Nigerians are the course of their problem, when we're done suffering, we'll do the right thing
It beats my imagination how people vote for tinubu and are still trying to vote him again after all they've seen from his administration

You think Tinubu is the root cause of Nigeria's electricity problem?

30 years of military didn't solve the electricity problem
16 years, PDP didn't solve our electricity problem.
8 years of Buhari /APC didn't solve our electricity problem.
3 years of Tinubu/APC have not solved our electricity problem.

The issue lies in the lack of economic capacity and governance. Recently, the 2023 Electricity Act empowered local government, state government, and, finally, the private sector to have open access to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity. What is the results?

Can Nigeria afford electricity if it is available?
Nigeria need to protest for better access to electricity.

saintkel:
just say Nigerians....cos if we go dis path, no one should cry when some others say south west deserve what they got from voting Tinubu(never a fan of such lines though)

SW didn't vote for Tinubu; 62% of Tinubu's support came from the North

Ajsmart:
Irrespective of any political party that wins the Nigerian elections, the corruption and poor governance due to bad leaders will not abate.

When given the opportunity to rule, Obi will do worse than even Tinubu could ever imagine. None of these politicians are good enough to rule the country and they are all there to enrich themselves and their constituents, period!!!!!!!

You think Obi who’s jumping from party to party wants to rule in order to save the common man? LOL He’s spent so much money and has had years of sleepless nights so, IF he gets elected, he will do exactly like his predecessors and turn his back against those who voted for him. He will reclaim all his political financial losses and investments and reward those powerful people who help put him in power!!

Poor electorates produce poor politicians. Peter Obi and Atiku support Tinubu's disastrous World Bank-supported economic reform.

Both Atiku and PO lack the institutions to transform Nigeria's economic landscape; the civil service is non-existent, so how will any leader implement social development when they first implement structural reforms to the civil service?

JuanDeDios:
So Cambodia has a royal government. Good to know.

And they're all set to use "Africans" to shine. Hmm.

Africa is better than Cambodia though. Not sure what they're looking for there.

Africa is not better than Cambodia...period

SmartPolician:
Congratulations to them, but I think state governors should be investing in power than airlines. The likes of Air Peace are wailing about how unprofitable the industry is and state governors are still jumping into the business

Nigeria's governors are just corrupt, the airport, the conference centre and now the airline.

States are now responsible for power generation and distribution.

DUE TO LACK OF TRUST AND TOO MUCH LIES FROM GOVERNMENT

“The population is not sufficiently informed or made aware of what is happening. To members of the most remote communities, Ebola is a White man’s invention; it doesn’t exist,” Mambele remarked.
.
Tensions flared Thursday when the relatives of a young man who died of Ebola tried to take his body “by force” from the Rwampara Hospital, according to Luc Mambele, vice president of Congolese political party A2RC.

Black people are usually ignorant. Ebola is not a White man's invention, and even if it is a White man's invention, why can't African solve the problem?

PDPdestroyer:
So, not only Lagos ports are working, as Obidients want us to believe is the reason they can’t leave Lagos

Lagos ports are just being used as an excuse to lay claim to access to the large Lagos market. The ports in Onne, Warri, Calabar, and PH are all operating, but the markets in those regions are too small.

Alliswell248:
President Tinubu would be reelected, go and write it down.
His government has done more damage to the bandits compared to his predecessors.

Did the insecurity started three years ago?

You elect leaders to fix problems, not to find excuses. Tinubu supported Buhari, who destroyed Nigeria's economy. Under the Tinubu government, borrowing has been excessive, leading to high inflation.


Tinubu is only relevant because the opposition is useless.

There is no good reason to re-elect Tinubu, except that I have not seen any credible opposition capable of fixing Tinubu's failures. We are stuck in a hard place with poor leadership in the government and the opposition.

Can’t you see the way they’re throwing questions without even giving him time to answer?

He asked the first/2nd/3rd question without letting him answer any..

Arise News does that all the time. will package three questions and expect you to answer them one by one. Why not ask one question a time.

zegxy:
You are intelligent unlike some of our brothers here, who will continue to rant that Iran is now a super power and Iranian winning the war.

He is not intelligent.

What do you think will happen if Iran removes the blockage and hands over the enriched uranium? The USA/Israel will immediately resume the air bombardment, knowing that the most important leverage the Iranians have has been removed.



Iran has no choice.

Negotiation is about give and take. If Iran removes the blockade and hands over the enriched uranium, the bombing campaign will immediately end because they have all that they want.

Iran is fully aware of that. Israel's and the USA's goal is regime change, like Iraq, Syria and Libya. As long as Iran has enriched uranium, the deterrence of a Nuclear Iran cannot be discounted. Iran just needs 200 centrifuges in a garage or an underground car park. to restart the enrichment of the Uranium

Mattswaggz:
Iran are still trying to prove a point and also demonstrating fake strength despite being in a desperate and terrible situation......Trump has all the time in the world to give them to come to terms with reality while their pains continue to increase daily or he can still resume the war using more brutal methods this time around.

Chinese firms to operate Warri, Port Harcourt refineries — NNPC


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/05/chinese-firms-to-operate-warri-port-harcourt-refineries-nnpc/

I am tired of APC government and the hopeless NNPCL, the corruption is beyond shocking.

Based on available information as of May 2026, Sanjiang Chemical Company Limited is a Chinese, Hong Kong-listed petrochemical manufacturer that has not built or operated a full-scale crude oil refinery.

While Sanjiang Chemical is a legitimate firm specializing in surfactants, methanol-to-olefins, and light hydrocarbon processing, experts and reports indicate a lack of experience in the specific, complex sector of crude oil refining and rehabilitation.

Key details:Company Focus:

They are a major private manufacturer of petrochemical products like ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol in China.Refinery Deals:

Despite lacking direct experience, Sanjiang Chemical was part of a partnership that signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) in late April 2026 to, as stated in, restart and manage the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries, as detailed in reports by and.

Criticism: The deal was heavily criticized by stakeholders in Nigeria due to the company's lack of a "track record" in refinery turnarounds, with critics clarifying that the company focuses on downstream petrochemicals rather than crude oil distillation.

In this new age, Nigerian youth must self-develop, learn new skills on their own and prepare for the hard road to secure new opportunities. The expectation that an organisation will train them as graduates should be put in the dustbin.

All the tools to learn new skills are on the internet. Nigerians are just too lazy; they would rather watch useless YouTube sketches or Afrobeat.

The Moniepoint CEO misyarned.

The 500 unfilled job vacancies in his company is not a referendum on the character, skillset, talent or employability of Nigerian youths. Neither is it due to yahoo culture, social media distraction, laziness or quest for fast money.

Banks, Oil majors, Auditing companies, Tax corporations, FMCGs Industry, Elite Government agencies etc recruit meritoriously and fill their vacancies from these same pool of Nigerian youths.

So why is Moniepoint unable to do so? Answer - Poor remuneration.

Thankfully, he recognizes he is competing globally, so he should pay global salaries if he wants the best. Simple.

Anyways, I no blame am. I blame the CBN for its failure to properly regulate Nigerian banks to ensure functional ATM machines which is the gap filled by moniepoint .

The CEOs statement is also insensitive being that the vast majority of their agents/customers sit under umbrellas by the road side or in makeshift kiosks processing transactions Are those ones lazy too?

The moniepoint CEO is nothing but a dolt.

In a country that has high unemployment, poor remuneration cannot be the answer. I went to the Moniepoint career website, and there are 76 available jobs.

https://moniepoint.com/careers

The senior roles have been allocated to Indians and Europeans; these include roles such as Data Scientist and Engineering Manager. Outsourcing skills roles to Europe or Asia would have been costly for Moniepoint due to the lack of skills in Nigeria.

We need to accept that years of Japa and corrupt government have taken their toll on Nigeria's education. I graduated from UI in 1989, and the standard at the time was poor because students cheated on exams.

LordBiden:
The problem is that Cameroonian called Atiku,he should have just acted as party leader of ADC and allow Obi to be the consensus candidate.
They can make an agreement to share offices like vice,senate president and other juicy port folios.

His marabout keeps deceiving that he would one day be president.

The combination of Atikus support+obi + kwankwoso could have helped ADC defeat APC.

Why Atiku has the right to run for the presidency. PO should have done his home work and joined NDC from the onset.

fineboynl:
Germany, Japan and south Korea used borrowed money to revived economy and industry after the 2 second world war.

Since we have been borrowing what have we done with those money?

People borrow money for business not to build roads.

Nigeria banks can fund road projects with long term tows like in other west Africa countries, Fund housing and some industries.

I don't see why government should be borrowing to build roads.

The economy and inflation rate should be the focal point. But they want to steal that’s the main issue.

Nigeria is borrowing to pay salaries and fund imports.

A country with 51 ministers

MyRentic:
President Bola Tinubu has said that his political enemies are trying to use the current insecurity in the country to push him out of office.

According to him, he is a stubborn politician who will not allow that to happen.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uYJw0ZvIyc

This statement is coming amid continued attacks, kidnappings, and banditry in several parts of the country. Many Nigerians are not happy with this narrative, arguing that as Commander-in-Chief, the President should focus on crushing insecurity rather than blaming "enemies."

What is your take on this?

- Is he right that enemies are behind the security issues?
- Or is this just another way of avoiding responsibility?

Share your thoughts responsibly.

He is right; the same insecurity was used by the Buhari cabal to remove GEJ, as they even admitted. They will also use insecurity to frustrate Peter Obi if he wins in 2027. The same people behind majority of insecurity in Nigeria are behind insecurity in Mali, B Faso and Niger.
