Tinubu made those promises because of the pending PEPT at the supreme court.
After the judgement he bundled the NLC president and used mc oluomo s thugs to assault him.
The same way Buhari never fulfilled any of his promises despite taking 77trillion Naira loans with nothing to show,is the same way Tinubu is gathering wealth for his great-grandchildren.Na only the late Abacha loot them out eyes on because baba don kick the bucket

How MC take enter Imo to go assault Ajaero !

kettykin:
Who exactly does these things, give 24 hours notice and demolish on new year's eve.

Time we take this eastern seaport stuff extra serious rather than the mansions and courtyards that people are showcasing

Go and find out why there is quiet Xmas everywhere in Lagos .even Nigeria breweries did not sponsor their usual beach jam. Lagos economy is gone , take it easy on the demolitions so that you can have people that can bailout wema bank, GTB, Polaris and sterling bank during consolidation coming soon

Lagos is quiet, I know people who travelled from UK and US to Lagos this Christmas and from what I see there is nothing modest about Christmas in Lagos, it's been rather lavish inspite of all the tales of poverty.

Nigeria continues to be a tale of two towers , those who have a potion of the Commonwealth spend it recklessly while the dispossessed masses suffer hunger and great want

Dpharisee:
There's nothing like Apapa Faction based on court prevailing court judgment.
Just say APC failed moles trying to sow confusion in LP, Apapa should be arrested for contempt of court id he goes near Edo election

The supreme court already made a pronouncement that makes Apapa the legitimate patty leader pending any party convention.

Irony1:


So you believe all the BS that Betty brought him home. Someone who went abroad on countless occasions for treatment. Make una fear God with these lies anyway, your nonsense can only end on the internet, dem no born una well to confront that Woman.

Betty influenced him coming home to be nearer to the state and to defeat theoves for impeachment. There was already increasing grumbling that he was too sick to come back home that was when Betty took a picture with him where he was seated and throwing up the peace(Victory) sign.

It's very common knowledge that his health was degenerating but there was a clandestine and extensive plan to retain power so that the governorship primaries can be planned by them rather than surrendering power to lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Governors are too powerful in Nigeria which is why all these intrigues are going on

AkpaMgbor:

No dialysis machine? You want to tell me he couldn’t afford a dialysis machine?? Surely you jest.

You can have 10 dialysis machines but what of the training for the nurses who would operate and monitor the patient. I've been informed previously that in hospitals in UK training for management of patients on dialysis is some 6 months or more, and it has to be a certified nurse doing the dialysis. Most of the board registered nurses in Nigeria have left for other countries most of those quacks you see at hospitals are nursing assistants

Irony1:


Oga can you just be silent. The wife had nothing to do with it.

What was said above is exactly why Aketi couldn't get the medical attention he needed. Betty brought him home rather stay in Germany or US and get the best medical help because she wanted to stay in power because she was corrupt and her son was doing same.

Akeredolu should have stepped down a long time ago, they just brought that man back to Nigeria to suffer needlessly and die.

If he was undergoing dialysis at the time he died that mean the lukemia must have reached an advanced stage and started causing multiple organ failure

thesicilian:

True.
Just read the details now on Sahara Reporters.
RIP to him
Should have focused on taking proper care of his health instead of dragging governors seat with his deputy.
Now none of all those matters anymore

I don't think Ogbeni had anything to do with the issues in Ondo over the last 1 year, it's the scheming of his wife , his son and some people in the cabinet and legislators who used his incapacity to abuse and misappropriat state resources and wealth. He was a victim of these people, and the reason those people stopped his deputy was because they wanted that power vacuum to remain

YoungLionken:
If you're street smart, what others are paying heavily for, you would pay half; for those in Nigeria for example, don't travel with registered transport companies, instead wait till 1-3am for those newspaper motor, then pay less and board..

As for me, from the UK to Nigeria 700k...

Dem go kidnap you, use you for one chance las las.

timiRugged:
450k round trip

225k Tinubu’s 50percent discount inclusive.



Wake up. Stop dreaming

Origin and destination please. That's a rather large number

Omodua:
Do you agree, no IBO's,no Nigeria?

If you understand what that means, needless elucidation. And if you don't understand, ask others for further tutoring on what makes people of south east extraction tick in Nigerian warped federalism

Continue to eat your SweetGala until you come with an answer.

I rest my case!

I put it to you that if the Igbo leave today Nigeria would go on without them, I guess the calculation is that if the Igbo leave it would cause a cataclysmic collapse of the ethnic nationalities that make up the whole I think otherwise, I believe that would only cause the remaining ethnic groups to come to a consensus that works for all, there would be some hard bargaining but it would yield a better nation.

This has nothing to do with the relationship built but rather the socio- political and economic realities of attempting to do it alone.

TruthsFM:
This is pure nepotism at play here. Our judiciary are heavily compromised already.

Can't be labelled as nepotism because the younger brother is a civil servant who was already working in the NJC and must have been there before his brother ascended to the supreme court as a justice, he has been prompted by the civil service commission and his caree should not be shackled by his brother's position.

He wasn't promoted by his brother, he is not a member of the NJC but rather an auditor in the accounting office. There is a possible. conflict of interest but that reality must be juxtaposition against the civil rights of the brothers to a pursuit of happiness.

Edo no be Lagos

Omodua:
But do you agree that nations are not built on the planks of nepotism, grovelling bigotry and cronyism as presently the case

You claim that a certain people own the key to the destiny of some 200 million + people I've asked you to please expand on this bold claim, please do make an effort to reply.

Thanks

Resetinc:

All these idiots on a faceless platform rejoicing over the demolition of people houses,, most you, your parents can’t afford 10 bags of cement …
The people whose houses are being destroyed are still better than you till tomorrow…
Nobody who use his hard earned money to build a house would be rejoicing when another persons house is being demolished, no matter the stories from government….
So when I read silly comments , I know it’s from low-life idiots who don’t even know the cost of a bag of cement..

You're just saying nonsense, the building contravenes the law, and those buildings are also negatively affecting the lives of other home owners and residents.

People are getting flooded and loosing their properties, I have read stories of vital documents getting destroyed in floods, cars damaged, most flooded houses are damagd because we don't build hosuess with moisture membranes in Nigeria so thr foundation becomes weakened.

raysplashinfo:
This is what I mentioned on Tokunbo Wahab page on Facebook that a guy came for me.

There should always be corrective measures since preventive measures wasn't taken into place.

Demolishing all those building worthy of millions of Naira is an eyesore , especially during this Economic Meltdown.

The only corrective measure is to re-establish the setbacks as stipulated.

If you think those walls and whatever structures wouldn't still come down you must be deluding yourself, from the above it seems he's just giving them some days to take down their walls and any sections of their houses that touch set-back or he'll do it for them

Omodua:
But do you admit Biafrans holds the key to economic recovery?

Appointments based on cronyism and ethnic considerations can't stand the test of time. And that's what's happening with Yemi Cardoso's appointment as CBN Governor.

You're behaving to true character. Supporting your own even though not qualified. Nations are not built by nepotism and grovelling bigotry.

Do explain how these so called Biafrans old the key

kingthreat:
It is time to free this guy.
1. 90% of the Igbos support him and this government needs Igbo support
2. Nnamdi Kanu has calmed down and has been giving non-violent vibes from detention. He is against the carnage going on in the state.
3. The government instead of detaining him can use him as a tool. Right now Simon Ekpa needs to be checkmated and this can only be done to some great extent by his former boss.
4. The IPoB groups will use this judgement as a reason to be more vicious. They will kill more government workers and even kill more Igbos at will.
Yes Nnamdi Kanu's talk during Endsars was more of terrorism. But if Igboho is walking free in Germany, and Sheik Gumi is still chewing gworo in Kaduna, then Kanu deserves to be given a CONDITIONAL release.
Unfortunately it is like Tinubu is on a course to self-destruct with the policies of his cabal.

This government doesn't need Igbo support, 2027 would be worse because between now and then the little influence Obi had in NC would have been errroded, see that appointment of CDS from southern Kaduna , SGF from Benue etc has already taken care of that area.

I hope for his own sake Obi doesn't attempt to run in 2027 because the defeat he'll experience would be brutal.

Igboho is walking free in Germany because he managed to escape to Cotonou before arrest and that government wouldn't release him back to Nigeria, did you notice he started behaving himself once he saw the might of government.

ecolime:

Yeah

Even his ENDSARS hate speech was targeted at Tinubu & his perceived business interests.

Same Tinubu is now President and you expect a soft landing from him? Just dey play

My issue with Kanu is, why the hatred for Tinubu when the man never crossed his way? Besides, he left governorship seat in 2007. And never had issues with Igbos while in office.

Infact, his administration recruited most of the Igbos that are in Lagos state civil service today. He had many of them as commissioners.

Igbos form at least 15% of all Lagos state MDAs workers. Secondary schools nko? I went to a government school. My Principal and lots of the teachers were Igbos.

I just don't get it

Tinubu greatest crime is one is succes and second his influence in the formation of APC and the dispatch of the Goodluck Jonathan government which was evidently considered a SS/SE government.

The most powerful individuals in that government were from SE and even the other deltans like NOI were of Igbo descent, that really rubbed a lot of the SE people off.

Looks very well. The pictures do present what must be the greater metropolitan area as very lush and well planned.

Enugu is one of the premiere metropolitan cities under colonial administration I suspect that it's population has not increased exponentially as the others must have over the previous many decades.
This would be to the benefit of it's citizens who must enjoy the reduced congestion.

Cruzmaster:


E pain u the kind of progress we are making in our land 😂😂😂 In the next few years, Anambra will be setting blue print for other states to follow ✌️🥰

Anambra ! Jokers the lot of you

Itopalucky:



Nigerians have come hard on Nigeria Senate President in the wake of his 61st birthday celebration.

On Sunday, the radio and TV schedules of Senate President Godswill Akpabio made their way to the media space.

Some Nigerians who reacted, scored Akpabio very low on good governance, insisting that since his emergence as Senate President he has been "wasting Nigerian taxpayers monies on insensitive ventures at a time when there is excess hardship and suffering across Nigeria."



Attached is the radio and TV schedule that got Nigerians talking;

More likely than not he didn't pay or solicit for those birthday jingles but rather phsycophants and other allies & friends paid for them.

I still watch and enjoy a lot of cartoons everything from classic looney tunes to waltz Disney's first runs to modern anime and everything in-between and I'm in my late 30s too.

Nothings unusual, I enjoy cartoons because they are unlimited, the curiosity and the mind of the creators opens them to endless visualization.

immortalcrown:
Yes. Experts will later explain to you why Dangote's fuel cannot be cheap. Then, you will understand the fuel issue the way you have understood the cement issue.

I don't expect the fuel to be much cheaper than it is now. It would move with international market value of crude if DPR are up to task.

I've been on this same platform with this same username since the times of fuel subsidy strikes of 2011 under GEJ and my position hasn't changed since then.

[quote author=10mobile post=127405405] Catapault, you can do better reporting. Tell us a place in Lagos represented in each photo - like the twin tower. To be honest, I suspect that some of those pictures are not taken even in Africa.

But, if all these are Lagos, even if the photos are over edited, they are good to help us visualize having such a country. [/quote

They are all in Lagos. All the buildings are well known. It's generally the skyline of the VI/Ikoyi area and Atlantic city. The areas around Ikeja isn't captured

benjaminlawson:
One major thing that make me dislike this government apart from hardship its brought upon Nigeria is the retention of this good for nothing man call NNPCL GMD. How's could someone in his right sense reappoint this wicked man. This man claimed we consume 100 literally of patrol, in which every body disputed, including the then minister of state for petroleum and custom boss. The man was just embezzling Nigeria money, he suppose to be in detention like Emefele, but what he got from our so called renew hope is reappointment. You people can continue you will meet God later. So according this ungodly man, the cost of taken crude to where they refined it, that of bring it back as refined product, insurance and import dutiesall this will not have any impact on cost?

Sacking Kyari would send the wrong signal to investors given NNPC L is no more a government entity as it was before.
A transition should have been put in place to see to his exit when it was fully deregulated but for the FG presidency to sack him would compound our FDI problems in that sector.

Kukutente23:

You're always everywhere spining trash
How is Saudi refinery able to sell fuel below Nigerian imported fuel price?
What about US and India?
You fool no one. Just eat your corn in peace

It has been proven beyond doubt that Saudi Arabia sell PMS at market value which is 467/600Naira using prevailing exchange rate. However that number changes based on crude oil barrel prices.

I pay €1.80/ltr for PMS myself

bonnyhope:


This is even a small issue

If you listened Sanusi Lamido Sanisi, he said NNPCL has not been audited since the last 15yrs, that even Finance ministry does not even know how much is being generated from crude oil sale.

The country is in a big mess

Last finance minister that tried to even audit NNPC lost her job within 1 month of trying. Kemi Adeosun was told how she didn't have NYSC

samsard:
Different business environments, man. With the high inflationary pressures in Nigeria now, no businessman will leave money on the table and start losing money. And oh, please google search the retail price of 50KG bag of cement in Ghana and convert to naira before insulting Dangote. It's not cheap there either.

It's not cheap anywhere. 5kg bag of cement is 8.35euro at the hardware store.
That's over 10k naira, that's in a country with free trade with rest of EU,tax incentives to manufacturers etc.

Whatever help Dangote gets from FG is deserved it's a tough business they are in.

airsaylongcome:


I don't agree. Nigerians are happy to pay market price. The problem, especially with petrol is that they need it to survive. Imagine if electricity was 24/7, demand for petrol will dissipate. People are happy to pay for petrol for transportation. Fix the roads, provide the basics. The economies of scale would bring down the cost of local production, overall lowering the price we pay. But government is hell bent on taxing an unproductive population

Nigerians are not happy to pay market price. They would rather cut corners and end up paying an exorbitant price

nairalanda1:


The cold truth, the cold truth and nothing but the cold truth

Refineries are created to make money. Money to pay the owner, to pay for maintenance, to pay for taxes, and to pay for worker's salaries.

Any attempt to restrict money making by refinery would lead to its collapse.

(Like what Tinubu is doing now. Landing price of petrol has been above N720 since October 9, and yet fuel is selling below N700 nationwide. LOL.).

Anyway, Nigerians do not want to face that truth.

(Awaits people to start spilling electrons).

Tinubu has been dancing the fine line of not wanting a nationwide strike and balancing a flawed system. I'm guessing he's just playing for time , I don't envy his position but he asked for the job

phemmie06:
You keep putting people into hardship whenever their hope is about to be met.
You have been telling us with all confidence that when our refineries are back to work, we will reap the reward of our pains, now Dangote refinery is working, the nation's own are about to be functioning and you bring up another hope dashing tales.

That is why Nigerians de japa even multinationals too de japa.
Shame on you all.

PMS,AGO can never be N300/ltr unless government subsidize the product. What kind of magic are you expecting. It would be cheaper but not sold at a loss

immortalcrown:
Cement and salt prove you right.

The reason dangote cement is the price it is has been properly explained by industry experts.

Dangote can't be selling at a loss to please Nigerians, the fact the man is still in business while others are exiting is quite impressive, he lost over 20% of his fortunes to FX/ naira depreciation some months ago.

The logistics of cement distribution is the reason the price remains high, we saw BUA claim they can supply at 2500 naira yet the price after it has landed in Lagos/ Enugu / PH/ Kaduna etc is still over 5k. If you can however buy from factory you're welcome to the 2500naira.
