Bayo Onanuga of the guerilla journalism fame and veteran pro-democracy activist during the brutal military years of the late 1980s and 1990s. You paid the price in those stormy military dictatorship years and deserve the national position.
More clarity here from Farooq Kperogi who himself initially jumped to false conclusions and confirmation bias like some others after the CSU deposition in very early October 2023.

jamin006: Theoretically, Bitcoin and other crypto networks are very decentralized. But practically, they tend to become more centralized over time for many reasons. Bitcoin was designed so that anyone in the world could use their computer to start mining it. As Satoshi Nakamoto said, “Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote.”
This would have made the network very decentralized. But, today, without ASIC machines, Bitcoin mining is not possible. Standard computers can’t mine Bitcoin today because of the high mining difficulty.
1. Bitcoin
Despite the problem of mining centralization described above, Bitcoin remains the most practically decentralized network in the world. Even large mining pools wouldn’t be able to exercise control over the Bitcoin network. The main reasons are economic incentives and network size. It’s still by far the largest network in the world, with a large number of miners, including cloud miners that simply mine with their smartphones, either after buying Bitcoin or browsing the web.
2. Ethereum
Ethereum is another highly decentralized network. In fact, some studies even suggest that Ethereum is even more decentralized than Bitcoin. Such a suggestion is based on a principle that, if put quite simply, proclaims that the more nodes the network has, the more decentralized it is.
What other decentralized networks do you know apart from these two?
Very strong allegations in the press conference video. They (Obi and Abure) allegedly threatened the Labor party man not to have the bombshell press conference.
He has given the bigoted hate-filled mob , criminal defamers and cyberbullies advance warning and the grace period he gave these criminals just expired tonight.Check my signature for free stuffs!

It was great reading his articles and deep insights in those stormy years back in the 1980s and 1990s!
Understanding woman indeed.do you know the amount of married women Doing runs?
Go and work in a hotel for one month and see how all kinds of men (both single and married) dey carry married women.you go hate the Nigerian idea of marriage
Seunomobo: My elder sister is married to a man with a very low source of income with three children.....
The thing is the man is not ready to do extra to make extra income for the family.
My sister has been doing odd jobs to ensuring the kids won't suffer...
Now my sister cant help but have a side boyfriend to help with the upkeep of the family, since the husband is utterly useless.....
Those kinds of men who are not motivated to do more are very irritating tbh.
However, your sister must leave the guy instead of having a secret lover. As a man, I'll never take cheating from a woman who is still under my roof. She has to get gone!
staga: Look at the world. Country by country. Everything is heading south.
The battle of any society is between the haves and have-nots. There is nothing like party lines, no ethnicity, religion or whatever. The so-called "tokens" or "prayers" sent to the senators was not among party lines. It was not sent along ethnic or religious lines. It was sent only to the group of people who are part of the "haves".
Did any other Nigerian get any token to their bank accounts or prayers to their emails? You are either with the haves, or you are with the have-nots.
Sadly, majority of Nigerians do not see this and they continue to be blinded. You think all the decisions by government were done by Tinubu? He is simply an actor on the grand global stage. The players may change, but the game stays the same. You think things would be better if Peter Obi or Waziri Atiku were presidents?
Why do you think Bill Gates was in Aso Rock, and days later we hear that Dr Pate who had passed through a very rigorous interview process to become the head of GAVI, suddenly turned down the position only to emerge as a minister? Who funds and controls GAVI? Think!
Most of our people are empty. They cannot tie two and two together to make four. Nigeria is a land of predators...the classical food chain where those on top feed on those below. When you get to the bottom, those at that level now start to prey on themselves.
FrankAkowe: It has taught me how whimsical life is. I read The Plague by Albert Camus many years ago and I wondered if an outbreak of disease could ever cause a city to be locked down.
Now, I have seen that in action.
The deaths in Europe and U.S.A made me realize that humans are indeed mere mortals.
The criminally defamatory article by the Aneke dude posted by the OP is unfortunately is filled with major falsehoods meant to appeal to simpletons and ethnic bigots.
1. Bola Tinubu never at any time in his life said that he is a graduate of University of Chicago. He has always been a proud graduate of Chicago State University and CSU gave him an award in 2001 when he was the Lagos State Governor for distinguishing himself as a technocrat and in politics! There are photographs of that 2001 CSU award posted on NL and elsewhere.
2. Second, the full CSU academic transcripts of Bola Tinubu where released to the public showing he graduated with a First Class honors from CSU. The claim by this Aneke creep that President Bola Tinubu did not graduate in 1979 because of failure in English is clearly fake news!
3. The next line of action will be for this man (President Bola Tinubu) to sue and punish all those defaming him such as Gazette, Gistlover and many more trolls online. He can sue them all and make millions of dollars in compensations from who have consistently defamed him knowingly [and unknowingly]. Bola Tinubu himself is NOT entirely blameless here because his gentlemanly actions and inactions over the last 10 years have projected him as a very "WEAK" man who any random person can insult or defame online and offline.
"Silence is NOT always golden," and "Silence is NOT the best answer for a fool" in the fake news era of social media. Period.
Roger3D: By Ikenna Obianeri The Indigenous People of Biafra, on Wednesday, threatened that should its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, “fall in the hands of Nigeria, then Nigeria and her leaders will fall in the hands of Biafra.”
In a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafran group said it was disappointed in the United Nations, European Union, African Union and ECOWAS for keeping silent while its leader continued to be detained for almost two years by the Federal Government.
The group accused the Supreme Court of bias in the handling of Kanu’s case, saying the apex court was conspiring with the Federal Government, which “wants our leader to die in detention,” given his ill health.
“It is also possible that the DSS has given him (Kanu) a slow-acting poison, which is why his health keeps deteriorating to eventually kill him.
“In what we consider a conspiracy to kill our leader, the Nigeria Supreme Court, the constitutional court refused to entertain an appeal from Kanu’s lawyers over his deteriorating health. Instead, the apex court gave a wicked long adjournment of four months in the case of an innocent man that appeal court Justices have discharged and acquitted.
“In all these human right and court abuses, there seems to be a conspiratory silence among international organisations and her affiliate human rights organisations.
“As the health of our leader continues to deteriorate and the Federal Government refuses to obey lawful orders and the world maintains this criminal silence, IPOB will do all within our power to ensure that our leader does not die in detention. Freedom for Kanu is the freedom of the entire black race. Kanu is not a criminal. He is not a terrorist, nor has he been associated with Nigeria treasury looting, which Nigerian politicians are known for.
“We are telling the international community and African Union in particular not to blame IPOB for whatever becomes the aftermath of Nigeria’s continuous disobedience to both local and international laws in the case of Nnamdi Kanu now.
“We want the world to understand that IPOB is peaceful but understands our right of self-defence. The gentleness of a tiger should not be taken as cowardice. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. Our prayers are that the Nigerian government will do the needful on time because if our leader falls in the hands of Nigeria, then Nigeria and her leaders will fall in the hands of Biafra,” IPOB said.
When one of our correspondents asked the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, for comments, he declined to speak on the issue.
Pakute: Na una dey chestbeat say una don buy all the properties in Lagos and somebody don come outside talk say 80% of una cross river niger, enter night bus with nylon bag to come Lagos and make money, yet una still dey vex, why una dey vex? why?, Lol. Even Ojukwu father who is the richest ibo man ever, e enter Lagos, lived and worked in Lagos before he counted his first 1million naira in his life. So, if you dey vex, una vex no go fit boil stone. Truth is the truth, 80% no be joke o. God bless SW.
Indeed.
Frederick Forsythe in his book on the Nigerian Civil War written in 1969 clearly stated that Emeka Ojukwu's father sold the Iru Island (alternatively called Victoria Island) lands he leased from the Yoruba indigenes. He then resold it to the British colonialists to become a millionaire after relocating to live in Lagos from the North. This was after Emeka Ojukwu (whose mother is from Calabar) was born in the North.
So, the Ojukwu family of Nnewi (where Ifeanyi Ubah is also from) benefited financially from living in Yorubaland and the North of Nigeria (Zungeru in Niger State) as well.
KingAzubuike: 1. Pablo Escobar Net Worth – $30 Billion
The notorious narcoterrorist and drug lord from Colombia was born Pablo Emilion Escobar Gaviria. He was the leader of a cartel known to have smuggled 80% of the cocaine in the United States.
The King of Cocaine earned his title for having an annual personal income of more than $21.9 billion per year. He was from Rionegro and grew up in Medellín.
Escobar was a university student in Medellín for a time, but left before earning a degree to sell fake lottery tickets, contraband cigarettes, and to steal motor vehicles.
He developed a skill for infiltrating the United States drug market and specialized in cocaine smuggling. He is credited with establishing the first successful smuggling routes leading into the U.S. His Medellín Cartel was known for murders and massacres of politicians and law enforcement officials. Though he became popular for building football fields and house in Columbia, the city also earned the title of the world’s murder capital. Colombian National Police killed Escobar when he was just 44 years old.
KingAzubuike: 2. Amado Carrillo Fuentes Net Worth – $25 Billion He was known as “The Lord of the Skies” because he transported drugs using his huge fleet of jets. He also viciously took over the Juárez Cartel when he assassinated his boss. Once Rafael Aguilar Guajardo was dead, it opened the way for Fuentes to become the cartel head. Fuentes came from a family of 11 children, and once he learned the drug trafficking trade, he added his brothers, and his son, as his employees. The empire he built was a multi-billion-dollar drug trafficking machine. In Mexico and the United states, authorities were determined to capture him. In an effort to evade them, Fuentes tried to have his appearance changed with plastic surgery. The operation wasn’t successful, and he died from surgical complications from either a respirator which malfunctioned or medication. He’d had his bodyguards with him in the operating room to watch over the July surgery. In November, the two surgeons who operated on him were found dead. Their bodies had apparently been tortured, and then encased in steel drums filled with concrete. A fictionalized version of his life, starring Rafael Amaya, called El Señor de los Cielos (The Lord of the Skies) was aired on Telemundo for several years.
KingAzubuike: 5. Khun Sa Net Worth – $5 Billion Khun Sa is the Burmese AKA for the Chinese Zhang Qifu. He was born in Burma and spent his early years training with the Burmese Army and the Kuomintang. He eventually fought to establish his own territory, which allowed him to conduct extensive opium smuggling in the Golden Triangle.
From 1976 and for twenty years following, he dominated the opium traffic. He used the support of both Burmese and Thai governments to accomplish his goals.
His massive network earned him the title “Opium King”. His work as a drug warlord extended internationally. When American Drug Enforcement Agency broke the links he had established with his international brokers, he closed down operations and moved to Yangon to live with his mistresses in great wealth.
Benjamin Netanyahu too will get heckled and hit verbally in public soon for the initial weak military defence that led to the "3rd intifada" by 1500 Hamas invaders who crossed the border right into Southern Israeli areas to wreck the worse havoc ever in 75 years on Israeli soil.
Gerrard59: An executive order is not a binding law across the US. The next president can cancel/over-rule it, and it becomes void (Biden has over-ruled many of such orders). So, please stop misinforming the public. Moreover, Trump who you referenced AIMS to do so if he wins next year. During his first term, he threatened the same, but did not gave the order because legally, it is impossible unless the case gets to the Supreme Court where it becomes decided.
pineed: I've always said this.. Nigeria president have been the most lenient in the world.
Citizens of other countries can't try this to other presidents.. In Europe you can't try this nonsense, I know what I'm saying
Nigerians mistake social media freedom to mean ridiculing, blackmailing, victimisation, insulting their Presidents.. it can't happen even in developed countries! You'll be tried for treason.
True that.
Past PDP and APC governments in Nigeria (including the current one led by President Bola Tinubu who himself has been a victim of clearly targeted online hate and defamations for more than 10 years) are very guilty of allowing hate speeches to continue on all social media platforms... That is a total projection of weakness by those in government, and nobody respects weak people! Online security must be a top priority for any country, and the Western nations and Asia nations don't joke with this major fact.
In America, the EU, and many Asian nations, such relentless asinine hate speeches, fake news, and defamatory posts by secessionists and well-known ethnic bigots that you see daily on NL and social media platforms would have led to mass arrests by intelligence agencies and severe punishments would have been giving out in the courts.
Just this week, the EU issued a stern warning to Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) to remove ALL forms of fake news, misleading videos, and hate speech related to the Israeli-Gaza war posted on X OR be heavily punished with a huge fine.
The French guy who slapped President Emmanuel Macron in 2021 in the face was also arrested and jailed! Another woman who openly insulted and defamed President Macron was also arrested and charged to court. There's NO absolute freedom anywhere.
Lanruze: Adams Oshiomole opined and suggested that the CBN should have a composition of sound economists and not just Ex-Bankers who were undertakers to Liquidated Banks, he clearly knows what he was saying.
The new CBN Governor-Mr. Cardoso had better been advised on this - very ill-advised route he is about to embark on.
No country in history has ever stabilised its FX regime on imports. None !
The CBN Governor may adopt the following policies and suggestion immediately.
1, Monetary Policy should be Objective specific on Exports. The elementary knowledge of Economics is simple : "the higher the Export of Finished good you have a comparative advantage, the higher the value of your currency"
Oman, Beruit, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia all have their currencies higher than the US Dollar. These countries are mono-product . They produce derivates from crude oil. Fuel, DPK, Jet A1 etc. These countries have been able to expand their economies purely on its exploitation of crude oil.
The Nigerian Fed. Govt. through NNPC owns equity in Dangote Refinery. At full production of it's installed capacity, Dangote Refinery has the capacity to push down the Nigerian FX rate by 30% in three(3) months if well articulated.
The Bonny light crude oil from Escravos and Niger Delta Nigeria is one of the most sought after crude based purely on it's low emission of carbon and harmful elements to the environment.
As the Ukraine War persist, and the blockage by NATO of the Black Sea and the Cramerian border. The Global demand for our refined derivates including PMS in Africa and continentally is high.
These countries have expressed interest before hand and demand will push down the demand for FX automatically.
Emefiele may have been corrupt but not stupid.
Drive Exports of finished products intentionally through both intervention programs and articulated polices and watch the naira gain massive traction.
You largely made valid points here.
However, Beirut in Lebanon is not an oil producing area, neither is the larger Lebanon and there has been a severe weakening of the Lebanese currency and capital flight,
Second, Bonny light is drilled around Bonny island in Rivers State while Escravos is driilled in the Ugborodu (formerly named Escravos) area in Itsekiriland, Delta State.
