My outrage? What's outrageous in my comment? I am not an obidient and can never be. My own quarrel with the government is that most of the things they campaigned against during the Jonathan years are the very things they are doing. They matched to Ojota to reject removal of fuel subsidy and increase in fuel price from #78 per litre. Bro, the very things they kicked against has been done by them. I feel scammed.

CharlesCNG:
My brother, let us separate two things.

First, the viral claim that Adeboye “protested against Jonathan” has been disputed. RCCG recently clarified that the widely circulated photo was from a 2020 prayer walk against killings and insecurity, not an anti-Jonathan protest. So even the foundation of your outrage is shaky.

But even assuming he criticised Jonathan then, the question remains: why attack instead of criticise?

You can say Adeboye was inconsistent. You can say his standard under Jonathan and Tinubu appears different. You can say religious leaders should hold all governments equally accountable. That is criticism.

But calling him useless, fraudster, dog, APC pastor, and all manner of gutter names is not criticism. That is obidients mob behaviour.

And that is exactly what my thread is about.

On de-radicalised terrorists, nobody serious should dismiss the concern. Nigeria’s Operation Safe Corridor has faced real public suspicion, especially from communities and soldiers who fear that poorly monitored reintegration may create future security risks. International Crisis Group also noted that the programme was created to receive voluntary defectors from Boko Haram factions, but public trust and accountability remain major issues.

So yes, scrutinise deradicalisation. Demand transparency. Demand victim justice. Demand monitoring. Demand that no unrepentant killer is recycled into society.

There is a difference between a citizen and an attack dog

A citizen criticises policy.

An attack dog sees every issue as permission to bite. That's who the obidients are.

They are attacking him because they claimed he supported protest against Jonathan when things were relatively better and is now defending Tinubu. They need to stop all this nonsense about de-radicalized terrorists. It will take us nowhere because they still have sympathy for their colleagues.

CharlesCNG:
The recent attacks on Pastor Enoch Adeboye over his comments on insecurity and President Tinubu reveal something troubling about the Obidient movement: many of them do not merely disagree; they desecrate.

Pastor Adeboye’s point was not that Nigeria is secure. In fact, he admitted that insecurity has worsened and that terrorism and kidnapping have spread from the North into parts of the South. He also urged that security chiefs be given strict marching orders and that sponsors of terrorism should be dealt with. His only offence was saying that once a Commander-in-Chief gives instructions to security agencies, he should not be expected to personally wear khaki and go to the battlefield.

Reasonable people can debate that position. They can say the President must do more. They can argue that command responsibility must be measured by results, not merely by instructions. That is fair.

But what did some Obidients do? As usual, they entered abuse mode. Suddenly, Adeboye became the enemy. A man they once quoted when it suited them became useless because he did not echo their preferred political anger.

Worse still, some now accuse him of ethnic bias, suggesting that he is defending Tinubu simply because Tinubu is Yoruba. This is one of the oldest tricks in Nigerian politics: when you cannot answer a man’s argument, explain his ancestry.

Curiously, this accusation is never applied evenly. If a Yoruba criticises Tinubu, he is praised as courageous and objective. If another Yoruba supports Tinubu, he is dismissed as tribalistic. If a Yoruba elder supports Peter Obi, he is celebrated as detribalised and enlightened. But if a Yoruba pastor says something that does not condemn Tinubu in the language Obidients prefer, he is suddenly an ethnic apologist.

That is intellectual dishonesty.

People support or defend political positions for many reasons: conviction, ideology, policy preference, institutional understanding, personal experience, or yes, sometimes ethnicity. But it is lazy and dishonest to assume tribal motive only when the opinion favours the candidate you oppose.

The real question is not whether Tinubu is Yoruba. The real question is whether Adeboye’s argument is right or wrong. If you disagree, answer the argument. Do not hide behind ethnicity because the facts are inconvenient.

This is the deeper problem. To many Obidients, every institution must bow to their politics: church leaders, traditional rulers, courts, media houses, INEC, security agencies, intellectuals, activists — everybody must either worship at the altar of Obi or be insulted.

That is not democratic engagement. That is political intolerance wearing activism as perfume.

No society grows when every disagreement becomes a licence for abuse. You can disagree with Adeboye without insulting his age, his faith, his office, his ethnicity, or millions who respect him. But restraint is difficult for people who treat politics like a crusade.

The tragedy is that this behaviour keeps pushing decent people away from their cause. They claim to want a new Nigeria, but they attack every voice that refuses to sing from their hymn book.

If Pastor Adeboye must be corrected, correct him with argument.

But if your first response is abuse and ethnic labelling, then the problem is no longer Adeboye’s statement.

The problem is your intolerance.

For when a man cannot answer your argument, he often settles for explaining your tribe. And when facts become inconvenient, ethnicity becomes the emergency exit.

The fact is that the leakages are much. Some lost through those who bypass their meters (more than 80%) and collection's filtering into private pockets. If it were possible to check these illegalities, they will realize almost a trillion monthly.

nairalanda1:
It does sound like a lot of money, until you realize that

1. GENCOS collectively need 5.6-6.5 billion naira a day to settle gas costs. That amounts to, in one month, 195 billion naira.

2. Again, the amount made for April 2026 was...201 billion naira.

3. Assuming DISCOS remitted all their money to the gencos for them to pay for the gas, that means....that there would be 6 billion naira left over.

4. So, many GENCOS do not pay for the gas they use because monies remitted from the DISCOS are not going to be enough to pay for all the gas...so debt accumulates.

Infact GENCOS had a shortfall of 200 billion naira monthly in 2025.


There is a good reason why Prof Nnaji called for cost reflective tarrifs in 2025.

That's the amount that enter official coffers. The other one pass this figure.

Dangote, please let the poor breath o. Them no dey carry money go heaven.

Oluwabash:
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has expressed concern over findings from an ongoing surveillance of the downstream petroleum market suggesting undue exploitation of consumers.

In its statement, FCCPC stated that a review of the gantry prices of local refiners, marketers, depot operators and retail outlet operators revealed token reductions in prices that are not commensurate with the steep fall in crude prices in the global market.

Reacting, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the FCCPC, Mr. Tunji Bello, stated:

"To be clear, the Commission does not regulate or approve petroleum prices in a deregulated downstream market. Our responsibility under the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018, is to promote competitive markets, prevent anti-competitive conduct, and protect consumers from unfair, deceptive and exploitative business practices.

“We are concerned that while dealers often respond swiftly by hiking pump prices whenever crude prices rise, it is curious that it is taking forever for consumers to benefit significantly when crude prices fall. Competitive markets must work fairly in both directions."

Following a ceasefire accord between U.S. and Iran two weeks ago and the reopening of the Straits of Hormuz, crude prices have fallen to $73, a sharp drop from the peak of $120 per barrel in April.

Across the global market, crude prices have since returned to the February levels.

The earlier spike in crude prices saw local refiners and marketers raising pump prices swiftly across the country, with petrol price climbing to between N1,350 to N1,500 and diesel selling N2,000 as hostilities intensified in the gulf between April and May.

In February, common PMS (petrol) averaged between N800 and N900.

Across the country today, PMS is still sold at average of N1,200 while some local refiners fixed between N1,025 and N1,075 as their gantry prices.

Though recognising that domestic prices are influenced by a range of commercial and market factors (including refining costs, foreign exchange movements, logistics, financing and distribution expenses), the Commission however expects competitive market dynamics to have eased the swift transmission of resulting cost efficiencies to consumers.

Mr. Bello further stated: "Market liberalisation does not diminish businesses' obligations to compete fairly or consumers' right to fair treatment. Where credible evidence indicates conduct that undermines competition, exploits consumers or otherwise contravenes the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, the Commission will investigate and take appropriate enforcement action."

He encouraged consumers to continue reporting suspected anti-competitive conduct, misleading pricing practices and other forms of unfair market behaviour through the Commission's established complaint channels.

Jarret Tenebe has reacted to a viral photo making the rounds during the Ekiti Guber Poll. The Edo State APC Chairman was reportedly seen with an INEC-inscribed Observer Vest during the 2026 Ekiti Governorship Election.

His reaction in summary:
1 We have a conference of APC State Chairmen and we resolved months ago that during the off-cycle elections, we will support our brothers participating.

2. He affirmed he was in Ekiti during the election.

3. He also stated that the photo was Al-generated and planted in the media by the opposition. He was neither accredited in Ekiti or anywhere

4. He said AI will spoil a lot of things in the world.

5. He said he first saw the photo on Dino Melaye's page.

6. He said Dino is trying to get back at him because he sued him for singing the old National Anthem, which has been outlawed, during one of the Coalition's protests at the INEC HQs.

Nigerian politicians can forge any document in order to meet the requirements for election. That's how one former Governor in Edo state, now a senator, was accused of forging his primary six certificate. The moment the investigation started, the primary school Education board was burnt down. And so investigations became stalled. So, many Nigerian politicians parade forged documents.

Shameless man, speak for yourself and leave Olubadan out of it. You begin to speak anyhow after collecting. Your billions of Naira EFCC case is not over. If people like you were in jail for corruption, Nigeria will be better for it.

Seun Okin's interview with Ayodele Fayose

It's crazy to have a man with questionable credentials as president of a country. Meaning he was able to manipulate himself to the top. Our system is highly corrupted and that is sad. I don't know how some people will be able to defend that a man graduated in 1970 from a school founded in 1974. Tell me how we can ever get it right. Same thing happened in Buhari's case.

Same happens in Nigeria. A typical Nigerian national football team is made up of mainly Igbo, Yoruba and South South but they often add northern folks to balance the team.

SyrusdeHansome:
Why does this man keep playing Rabiot? On what basis does Rabiot merit a starting spot in this team? Is he better than Kante or the other black midfielders on the bench? Maybe, just like South Africa, they're afraid of the fact that Africans have taken over their national team so he wants to give a starting spot to an indigenous player.

The main issue here is that a superior court has ordered stay of action and why couldn't this high court judge obey? Like an army lieutenant giving an order to counter that of a Colonel. Where on earth does that happen except in Nigeria? Or is there something I am not getting?

DomPerignon:
Did ZLP meet all the minimum thresholds outlined by the Electoral act ?

Answer: No.

So why are they bullying the judge for simply doing his job in interpreting the law?

It's time the NASS pass laws to prevent the bullying of judges .

Since Obidients came to the scene , they have been attacking the Judiciary and any judge who doesn't rule in their favour.

A law must be passed to which any one or body that threatens, bullies , slanders any judge should face stiff penalties

If you have problem with a judge then appeal the judgment and petition the NJC over his or her conduct .

And she has children and her own children are not brutalized. People seem to forget that there is God. You protect your own and brutalize another person's child, that's wickedness.

I thought this lady was a smart person. How could she think she can just play on people's good mind, scam them and just vanish with their hard earned money. In any case, I see jail term loading. By the time she spends two years jail term, her brain will reset.

I honestly fear Tinubu. I wonder how a struggling economy can hire 47 ministers. For what exactly?

This is the second time he is collapsing on the pitch. I think it's time to retire to his family. It must be a heart related condition.

He achieved this appointment by the good run he did towards the end of last season by beating all the top clubs including title seeking Arsenal.

DONOCSO:
There is nothing to worry about the photo.

I believe the pix was misinterpreted. Right now, Dickson is the national leader of the party and deserves to be respected by Obi, an aspirant. By the time Obi becomes president, he automatically becomes the leader of the party and it will be the turn of Dickson to stand to address him. Remember both of them are former governors and Obi even became governor before Dickson.

LagosOrigin:
Now that he's in PDP, let's see how far he would go in the governorship election ...

Nigerian politicians don't join parties based on ideology but as SPV, Special Purpose Vehicles. That is, as a means to secure public office.

So you have already imagined that I am an Obi supporter, far from it. However, I don't support all those who believe nothing can stop Tinubu. I also don't believe he is the best candidate to be President. Because this Tinubu is no longer as sound as he was when he was governor of Lagos state. Newspaper clips of when he celebrated his birthday in the 90s proves he is about 85 years now and not the 74 he is claiming. I don't have any candidate in mind but I believe Nigeria deserves better. I also think there is too much hidden facts about the president from his real name, schools attended, drug related issues that made him to go to court to stop the release of file of the drug case etc. These are my concerns but na Nigeria we dey, do whatever pleases you. Ire o.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. You are now praying for the angel of death to assist you put Obi in Aso Rock ba? Won't happen. Peter Obi will never be the President of Nigeria. Never.

That's how we all concluded that Abacha would succeed himself before God showed up and executed his own plans. This next election will be determined by God and not Tinubu. Watch out.

WizardOfNG:
Rudimentary analysis and reasoning. Tinubu has won 2027 and is shopping for a fitting 2031 successor right now. Good luck with the wishful thinking though. Have a nice weekend.

They claim to be in PDP to destroy it but are sponsoring candidates in APC. If truly they are PDP, why are they sponsoring their candidates in APC?
