tctrills: This man, you are very predictable. I knew I would find you here. But it is a shame that you and many like you do not know your true enemies. The US and Israel are fighting Iran, but then, Iran decides to attack all their Arab neighbours and to block 20% of global oil. Anyone with common sense can see that Iran is evil and a danger to every other country. Will their oil blockage affect the US? Yes, but very minimally. As of today, the US is a net exporter of oil and gas. But it would affect Nigeria and other African countries more. It will destroy the arab gulf states, it will hurt the European economy, and hurt Chinese manufacturing. This should let you know how crazy Iran is and why this war is very just. We should be thanking the US and Israel. Iran has proven that they are an enemy to the world. Don't use this brain to cross roads or get married o |

For what? to do what with it? to wipe their neighbours as they often threatens? would you allow Iran build a nuke if you were either Israel or U.S? Does Israel not have nuclear weapons? |

hegelian: i dont understand.. in a war every side get hit but the main shit is who get hit most and by what magnitude as well as who is able to recover and enjoy the spoil of war..that iran is hitting some target is very much expected, every war enthusiast no it aint a tea party but the cost to iran and its mullah is grave compare to the us and isreal..it not only lost the entire middleeast countries but will lose its government and power while the bases will be rebuilt in no time the mullahs will never recover...i just dont understand the purpose of the buffonry You don't get it. Destroying radar sites mean less accuracy for future incoming rockets. US can't continue this pace. Ammunitions will run low. They can't sustain this for the next 10 days. Iran on the other hand is in its own country a d can keep producing. It's about who will outlast each other. If the war was going so well... Why is Trump getting upset with Spain and the UK for not allowing them use their bases? Besides, bombings can never change a regime. You need boots on the ground and Iran has a massive and well trained army. Iran can't lose. Taking a war so far away from home wasn't a smart logistic move from the US |

He talks too much.
I'm not a praise singer of Tinubu, I'm not a politician and may never be. I also didn't study anything related to politics , but I'm sure Tinubu will win in 2027. If I were Atiku and Obi, I wouldn't waste my money contesting against Tinubu in 2027, I'll allow him complete his 8yr term and leave before I can throw my hat in the ring again. If you think Tinubu will leave after 8 years, you are naive. Have you not seen they have initiated a 16 year term? You think it's for play? Wait till they say the Yays have it.... They have the majority in both houses. Who will challenge it If Nigerians realise this is the last attempt we have to save democracy, they would sit up. |

Mide3367: Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed Secures Key Backing as Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo Orders Fast-Track for Baze University Aviation School with it Own Runway at Bwari
In a significant move for Nigeria’s aviation education sector, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, Chancellor of Baze University in Abuja, led a high-level delegation to the office of the Honourable Minister of Aviation earlier today. The purpose of the working visit was to advance plans for the proposed Baze University Aviation School.
The new institution is set to be located in Bwari and will feature its own dedicated runway for pilot training along with a full range of aviation-related courses. This facility aims to directly address the growing demand for skilled aviation professionals within the country.
During the meeting, the Minister assured the delegation of the Federal Government’s full cooperation and support to bring the project to life. To turn commitment into action, the Minister issued an immediate directive to the Permanent Secretary and all

Politics › Re: ‘Barking Dogs’, Ogun Governor Abiodun Slams Those Criticising Him Over Bad Roads by swimmer: 10:56am On Jan 22 |
Brendaniel: That is Tinubu's style of governance, that's his legacy, the same governor he bragged with for installing into office and the same way he uses security agencies to hunt those who criticize his government, that is his legacy.
The question his supporters will never answer is, the same TInubu they claim built Lagos and everything in it and justify his imposition of governors of Lagos state with "he knows how to pick good leaders", the questions is why are the other southwest states Tinubu has been picking governors not working like Lagos ?
Is Tinubu only good at picking good leaders for Lagos? Or he hates the other south western states and picks the worst for them?
That's the Lagos scam I keep talking about, they don't have an answer to that question because they are lying about Tinubu, Lagos made Tinubu, Tinubu did not make Lagos. Tiny but has been directly or indirectly governing Lagos for the past 27 years. Does the state look like a well run state? |

We must pay attention when close family members of office seekers take decisions against their ambitions. We all heard Peter Obi sometime again claim that his children had to record him anything he’s making promises so that they would have evidence anytime he tries to deny his promises. And not surprisingly, his children stayed away from his campaign in 2023. It’s a message that shouldn’t be lost on Nigerians. Isn't El rufais son in another party? |

Fayose is actually right when he said ADC should field Obi, because it's still the turn of the South to occupy Aso Rock for at least the next 5 years. However alagbafo, a perennial failure, who has no job other than doing failed PR for politicians won't allow a Southern candidate emerge from ADC, because Atiku's dollars. Did he mention Obi in his post? Abi you have comprehension problems? Atiku is perennial failure yet Obi calls him leader and has been in higher office than obi? He failed in 2019 with Obi.

Politics › Re: Over 140m Nigerians May Become Poorer By December - PriceWaterhouseCoopers(PwC) by swimmer: 7:25am On Jan 08 |
Kemetian: ACCORDING TO AI ChatGPT, PriceWaterhouseCoopers has often made mistakes and is UNRELIABLE for economic forecasts.
ACCORDING TO AI:
''....there have been public controversies or outcomes tied to PwC’s work:
📌 a. Audit and Assurance Controversies
PwC has faced fines and regulatory findings for audit shortfalls (e.g., inadequate audit work in some jurisdictions).
In Nigeria, controversial cases exist around forensic audits where PwC acknowledged limitations (e.g., limited access to data), leading observers to question the conclusions.''
✅ Yes, PwC forecasts have been questioned and sometimes proven inaccurate, especially long-term economic projections — but this is true of virtually all economic forecasters.
✅ PwC generally states its projections are based on models with assumptions, not guaranteed outcomes.
✅ Short-term forecasts may also miss actual outcomes due to unpredictable events.
Nigeria is unusually policy-sensitive
Nigeria’s economy can change direction very quickly due to policy shifts.
PwC could be wrong if, for example:
Fuel subsidy savings are actually redirected efficiently
FX reforms stabilize faster than expected
Local production substitutes imports more rapidly
Social intervention programmes scale properly
State governments outperform federal expectations
Nigeria is not a slow-moving OECD economy. It’s high-volatility, which makes short-term poverty forecasts especially fragile.
Nigeria’s informal economy distorts forecasts
Over 60% of Nigeria’s economy is informal.
Most models:
Handle formal wages well
Handle informal resilience badly
Historically, Nigerians:
Adjust consumption rapidly
Shift jobs and income streams
Create informal buffers during downturns
PwC models often underestimate adaptive behavior, which can blunt poverty outcomes relative to predictions.
Media headlines amplify the most pessimistic scenario
Guardian Nigeria (and most media) will highlight:
“PwC forecasts worsening poverty”
But PwC reports usually include:
Base case
Downside case
Upside case
The downside case is what becomes news.
So PwC might actually be saying:
“There is a significant risk of worsening poverty unless X, Y, Z happen.”
That nuance is lost in headlines.
Conclusion:
PwC’s forecast can be wrong because it is based on assumptions about policy continuity, inflation, and structural constraints — and Nigeria routinely violates those assumptions, sometimes for the better.
PwC models Nigeria as a system that behaves predictably. Nigeria rarely does.

So which southern candidate can defeat Tinubu? Atiku is the atural leader of the coalition and it's an Atiku/Obi combination that's their strongest ticket.
