Fineman2:
This is a welcome development, even though it will not change anything.


I know some Nigerians will come out to spill gibberish now since this move is against their so-called God chosen nation

This would change a lot, most of the funding for the illegal settlement programmes come from US donors, this criminalises the act and people can go to jail for a long time of they are found to be funding violence even by proxy.

The assets seized must also be quantifiable for the Fed Gov to freeze them, the settlement drive is a well oiled system based on judicial corruption, international funding and support from US based lobby groups.

Sensiblerealist:
Aregbe still has his base in Alimosho though he has lost his cult-like followership to Adefulire-Orelope partially cuz of his talk downs on the president some years ago and the rise to prominence of Orelope due to the president's influence.
Fashola is a Surulere guy too

So the LP gang think they can take Fashola and Gbaja in their domain. Best of luck to them.

Fashola and Gbaja don't suffer from the same indifference many lagosians have for Tinubu which cost him the state in the presidential elections.

There are many who don't necessarily like Tinubu in Lagos who have nothing against Sanwo, Fashola or Gbaja

Elibaba1:



Didn’t you hear when she was saying that she reported to matter to the appropriate channels but nothing was done rather she was told to keep quiet? How about the blocking of her salary accounts for months? Would you say this if it was your female relative?

I can assure you that while she was still under the command of the same people she accused any attempt to report would have been circumvented. Didn't she say she was remanded in a psych ward and her pay retained.

Now she's out of their sight and grasp

Many don't even understand the structure of the army globally and the reporting system, the Irish army is currently dealing with allegations of sexual harassment going back over 2 decades, the British army had some major allegations last year and the Americas too, those are the ones I can speak of that I know of publicly which have had a public enquiry done.

jmoore:
They detained a lady that accused military officials of sexual harrasment and non-payment of salaries. Who in his right senses detains a victim?

This is the army not civies. They would conduct an investigation,given she made claims her safety can't be guaranteed what had been don by the COAS is the best because now she can't be harassed by the individual she has accused while under the protection of the COAS.

Nothing new here it's standard operation.

In saner climes, when tolls are collected, it is pushed back into the society and use for the betterment of the citizens.

If that is what it will be used for in this part of the world, it is highly welcome
Bit if it is going to be looted (this is what the sane ones among the peope protesting) are really scared of.
The government should let the citizens believe in them
Sanwo-Olu is really trying with infrastructures as we can all see anyways.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

Stop saying nonsense you don't know about this "saner climes" I've lived in Europe for most of my life and I don't see these sanity you keep banging on about.
The only sanity I see is from citizens in their interactions with each other and less the insanity of the government which is no different to what is available in Nigeria of any other democratic countries where politicians run the show.

TopBanter:


It is all driven by their desperation to make in-roads into SW politics as Azikiwe tried and failed to do his entire life..

Now crystal clear to the two most virulently expansionist ethnic groups in Nigeria (Fulanis and Igbos) that the SW is truly the most economically verdant and blessed of all land in Nigeria in terms of human, mineral and material endowment.

Both Fulanis and Igbos, from lands with dwindling fortunes, wish to desperately take over the SW for themselves. Their methods may differ but the usurpation agenda is the same:

Left to young Yorubas to wise up, recognize the pragmatic reality of Nigeria today to then start protecting what they own and “no gree for anybody”.

The Fulani and Igbo are alike

1 - one is descended from semitic tribes from North Africa ( Berber/ touaregs) the other claims to be descended from Jews who left Egypt

2 - They both preach a dangerous form of exceptionalism which tends to lead them to falsely believe they have the God given right through might or intellect to "rule" Nigeria.

We saw it in the first republic, their desire to sideline the SW lead them into an alliance of two cunning entities Ahmadu Bello and Zik we saw how they attempted to abort the Midwest state,

It was this same attitude of being superior that influenced the 5 majors into the January 66 coup in all their books and interviews they've not denied this, from the day they went to the military board to join the army they all felt they were better than the rest.

Till today when these two ethnic nations are spoken of by the rest it is done with an element of disdain, from the northern tribes to the people of the old Bendel state they see these two expansionist elements who by nature have a small land mass bequeathed to them by their ancestors ever eager to cheat their way through life.

If Nigeria does break it would be because of the excesses of the Igbo and Fulani.

Sensiblerealist:
This one is not voting rubbish sha. As much as I detest politicians, Gbaja is one guy that has done so well. You can hardly find a road that is not tarred in Surulere 1 federal constituency with street lights and all. He also did a lot of empowerment programs. They so worship him there. What he says, they do. I hope this guy will deliver sha

What constituency are Fashola and Aregbe from ?

Larryndelaw:
That shows how useless ObI is to descend sp low fighting for 1 senate seat. Can you imagine Atiku or Tinubu do that. I TELL YOU POLITICS GET CLASS

If it was one of 3 senate seats it'll be fine, it's an house of reps seat, even though it's a super- important one.
Being the seat of the current chief of staff and former speaker.

But given what gbaja has done in the part few years I doubt they'll unseat APC there.

It's a fruit bat which are endemic to this part of Africa. Our people are so ignorant or the local wildlife. Imagine that many don't even know that the name "Aluko" in Yoruba refers to a peculiar west African bird with distinct plumage.

As we've become more "educated" and western we've lost our "knowledge" of who we are and where we're from.

Jennyclay:
Somebody took me to this place I think last year or two years ago, I was so scared passing through. But it was really fun!!

Nigeria can kill you before your time . They keep buying sub standard materials to build stuff like this .

Thank God it was noticed.

I was there in 2018 and it wasn't like this, there was a flooding as it was sometimes in mid November and a section was cordoned-off.

I guess some of the management have taken their eyes off the ball. A terrible shame

Malroux:
It is no longer Chinaza Philips abi?

Chinaza Philip Okoye and this Bello fellow are one and same. Criminals the lot of them. They should all be tied to a stake and shot

mcobinad:
Aina has been the man of the match so far.

Aina, Zaidu and Bassey have been the best players today, Ekong was very good too.
Then you have the keeper who was very solid and confident.
Osimhen wasn't serviced today, while Lookman did decently chukwueze was just poor and the midfield failed to build play and create something, but the midfield was solid defensively

These boys are just so selfish. Just lay the ball on you have two options

Nazgul:
2nd cooling break of the game. Is Ivory coast that hot? 🤔

Yh, 60 % humidity too. It would feel absolutely unbearable for these guys based in colder Europe

Chukwueze is useless. Whey didn't he square that ball to Lookman

sketching:


Whatever he is. Based on the pictures of him online, he certainly has authentic Nigerian Police uniform(s) and military grade weapons... a BANDIT who can be mistaken for an officer.

It's well known criminals kill,steal and use the uniforms of security officials.
If that was a true official his name, rank and id-number would be visible on the uniform. That is part of official dress code.

sherylbaky:
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the Oloibiri oilfield wasn't discovered by the whites in those days. Perhaps it would have been a secret swept under the rug and only accessible to some influenced minority today as well.
I suspect such is happening in some underdeveloped African countries today.

BLACKS.....THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH US AND IT'S BEYOND THE SURFACE

It's not a black thing it's a global reality of hyper-capitalism.
If you're familiar with Australia, some parts of Canada, you'll discover so many countries around this world where minerals cause corruption and this manifests as conflict in parts of African because of the lack of governance in remote areas, moral poverty and greed.

NzogbuNzogbu:
I find it suspicious that every security issue now is now sharply tied to mining

Is it the mining that is also responsible for the banditry and kidnap for ransom across the roads

Did bomb blast not happen in ondo church that year, don't these dots connect to some takeover ethnic cleansing

SS/SE that are hostile to terrorists are not having mining issues

Because it is, the same issue is happening in Ilesha/Ife axis of osun state, in kogi, Benue and plateau.
Some of the land the actors of the plateau massacre are fighting over has large deposits of various minerals.

In Zamfara the issue is very desperate and there are big name politicians involved

Cruise777:



God bless Seyi Makinde, RIP Ajimobi... My father's house on the map see my friends hotel, see my shops

We from Jagun community say a big thank you


Make una come snap for night abeg... from Airport to all the eateries bars and restaurants , Amala joints, Brent mall, supermart

Come and flex!!!

PS:
Technically are some Nigerians so stupid to understand humidity and rust in respect to brown roof?!

Tropical Western Nigeria with more rain fall, more humidity, more rust

Common sense?!

.

Fair play to Seyi Makinde for completing this project but this was started by Ajimobi. The project had really been far too long to complete, if I'm right this extends all the way to and past bashorun market till about General gas.

It's a major arterial road serving many major residential and commercial sections.

EreluRoz:
I'm not your mate, so mind your statement you kid.

How you take know I'm not much older than you in age, more intelligent than you and wealthier than you,of sane mind compared to yourself and in good health.

I say without remorse or reservation I am better than you

TimeMachine3:


What rubbish is this toad talking about? Keep hating on those that thought your ancestors how to read, write and wear pants.

The streaming and cinema system has circumvented the need for marketers. Some marketers are now investors who finance projects but they are bi more the gatekeepers they once were in the movie industry

Across the whole of Nigeria forget just northern Nigeria. How many Nigerian children are computer litterate ? I'd put that number at less than 40% across the nation.

EreluRoz:
He bleached his skin
Check his fingers

Something must be wrong with your sight

bennybuhari:
Other aspirants are forced to step down. APC way

Given he has stepped down for others twice I think he's due for a reward in kind.

EreluRoz:
Bleaching man
Men that bleach their skin are actually looking looking for what?

All a man need is money, leave shakara for women.

Bleaching ke, the man is not even light in complexion he is just has a smooth well moisturised skin going by the picture. He's not particularly dark either.

Nicepoker:
He is correct. But the private account must have a project name. Then the signatory to the account has to be the minister. Anything other than that is a criminal act.

TSA rules say otherwise. Any account for government use must be opened with the CBN, the signatories can include the said Bridgette who would oversee any disbursement

Decarbonisation:
We do not need any law to understand that paying government funds into a private bank account is fraudulent

We need common sense, and Zuabir onikuuuuure for refusing common sense

Fraudulent basta....rds

The TSA even forbids it

Bellotelli:

Really!
Oya quote the section that legalize such action.
All these should simply be settled by the court.

I'm pretty certain the civil service rules and CBN TSA rules Jonathan drafted which Buhari implemented in his first term forbid opening of accounts outside the CBN for government transactions.

All MDAs and ministries must use CBN accounts for all transactions and complete frequent audits.
It is evident that the civil servants are in collusion with Betta Edu as they did with the previous minister.

chiiraq802:
Quota-System richest Nigerian man.

There are 51 other companies I'm sure the list covers the whole country.
If Dangote is a quota system billionaire what then is Author Eze a man who became rich off the back of IBB/ Abacha or the Orji Kalu (and don't bring that Uganda nonsense)

seborrhic:
So MC Oluomo don knack national chairman with stroke so he can become national chairman?
Before you know it,he go knack other candidates vying for governorship of Lagos after Sanwo Olu with one Yamayama disease to win the APC primaries and become next governor of Lagos

The Kwara , Ibadan , Edo , Warri, osogbo. NURTW axis would not support him to get national.

Lagos is lucrative but those other factions to name a few are very influential too.

tommy589:
Stepping down from State to fill a National position. More states more money

Doesn't work like that, federal is just like office job

Zico5:
Dey play. Oluomo can never resign, that's his source of wealth. The only person that can make Oluomo resign is Tinubu. And mind you, if such happen, another opportunity is waiting for him in Abuja.

Oluomo is being cut to size. He has no chance in federal, even he knows it.
