temitope277:
did i ever said the sentenced was justified? I'm just saying you Christians are so annoying most times

And you think some Muslims, especially the northern ones are not annoying sometimes? And it is refreshing to know that we have a common ground which is that the woman's sentencing was not justified. There will always be some annoying fellas on both sides of the divide but the least we can do is respect people's choices without using the instrumentality of the state to repress either.

temitope277:
if you're talking about that, Christian are worse, they do that day and night and almost everyday

I agree with you that christians are equally guilty of disturbing people their loudspeakers. However, you must agree with me that sentencing this woman to prison because she purportedly shared her faith does not serve the purpose of justice, equity and fairness.

temitope277:
How's that preaching? Do any Muslim ever knock your door to preach to you

I don't understand you, I hope you are not suggesting that "waasi" translated as sermon is not preaching. You don't have to knock on people's door before you preach to them. And yes, Muslims invite both Muslims and non-muslims to their lectures via Da'wah and that in itself is not a crime as long as there is no compulsion or force. In the same way, christians should be allowed to preach their faith as long their is no force.

In the case where this christian woman was sentenced there was no mention of the woman knocking on someone's door to preach and my submission is that the law should never be selectively applied.

temitope277:
when did any Muslim share their faith to you in the south?

When they preach over the megaphones, aren't they sharing their faith?

Tolupage:
I wonder what most of our churches do, they all should be hiring the best lawyers for her and her family right now instead na money and wealth concern them

This is where you need CAN, PFN and other christian bodies but they will be silent now.

temitope277:
That's nonsense, but Christians should please learn how to respect people privacy

Christians should learn how to respect people privacy but Muslims can disturb people's peace abi, make it make sense. Between christians and muslims, the law should not be selectively applied; if christians can not share their faith in the North then Muslims should not be sharing their faith in the south.

ElevationD:
Ancestor, thank you very much sir.

If you are older as you claimed, how did you not have the faintest idea of why those organizations were rounded up looking at your initial comment? No let me vex for you bros o. You spoke initially of the organizations with no single idea. I can bet that you did not know that there was an organization called the Nigerian national supply company. If you swear, I go ask you the locations and descriptions of the buildings and warehouses.

My questions are these:

If those were private organizations, would the workers have embezzled them to extinction?

If the Kenyans, Ethiopians and South Africans embezzled their public organizations, what would be left for them and their children by now?

If you open a company and your workers embezzle it, will you be disposed to reward them thereafter?

Emirate was founded in 1985. If the workers embezzled it, what would be left?

Once again, I put it to you that Atiku is sounder than Tinubu. We had the best years of our country under OBJ as the military head of state and civilian President with Atiku as his vice. I experienced the two periods personally. Our only fear with Atiku is the word corruption. Obi remains the best if you want integrity in the system.

I think you are conflating issues. First, where did you read me condemning the privatization of those organisations. For the sake of clarity, I condemn a situation where any government would privatize any publicly owned enterprise without paying off the workers their dues. Is that not worrisome to you?

In one breadth you are justifying the non-payment of the severance benefits of the ex-employees of the privatized organisation. In another breadth you claimed that you are scared of Atiku's potential for corruption while still promoting his candidature!

ElevationD:
You know nothing about the organizations that you talked about.

If NITEL was not privatized, the corruption would continue endlessly. NITEL was a cesspit of corruption, just like PHCH, Nigerian airways and other organizations owned by government.

I guess you are still very young or probably you were a baby in the days of Obasanjo and Atiku. Definitely you have no knowledge of the days of those organizations.

Many of you are not aware that we used to have Nigerian National Supply Company up till about 1986. That company handled imports of essential commodities and delivered to Nigerians at competitive prices. Essentials then were Rice, Sugar, Milk, Battery, Tyres and Fertilizers. The company was looted dry and into extinction by the workers. They would either raise invoices to carry trailers of commodities from the seaports and run away, or forge invoices to collect goods at the warehouses in Isolo and Ikorodu and vanish just like that.

The country also had Nigerian National shipping company. They looted it to its destruction. Go and check the dockyard in Apapa and see the state of affairs. All corruption.

The same went for Nitel. Even the gatemen became rich through extortion. Because the method of payment was postpaid, customers who owed millions could get away with it, having their lines working monthly after bribing officials. In Lagos island, Oluwole boys turned international calls into private business. They would illegally connect wires from long distances into their homes and people would be on the queue to make international calls and faxes. No shishi went to government purse. NITEL ran at a loss, struggling to pay salaries, while the corrupt officials were making millions daily into their private pockets from the same organization that they were killing. When GSM came, Nigerians were presented the option of prepaid and postpaid. That has been the standard since 2001. All thanks to OBJ and Atiku.

Privatization was the way to save government funds and channel them into better use. OBJ/Atiku made no mistake.

Atiku is a much sounder candidate than Tinubu. With him the country will be in a better shape. Obi is the best candidate because of financial prudence and integrity of the system.

Continue to support Tinubu as your choice and vote your conscience. Na your wahala be that.

I will excuse your silly assumptions but I am certain that I am older than you and I have been there and done that. No way in hell that Atiku can be more sound than Tinubu. I became politically conscious since the days of Shagari, so I am aware of Ariku's political trajectory.
While I agree with you that those agencies needed to be privatized my point is that it was heartless of anyone in government to privatise and refuse to pay the severance benefits of the disengaged workers.

And for your information, my disapproval of Atiku does not equate to my approval of Tinubu. They can all go to hell for all I care.

Sonnobax15:
was Atiku not a part and parcel of the syndicates that started creating the problem which we've found ourselves in at this moment? . Talk truth my brother

But in all sincerity, how the hell Atiku and his goons privatized Nitel, Nigerian Airways and PHCN without paying off the employees back then is one of the 7th wonders of the world. Yet, Atiku has the temerity to be campaigning again for presidency!

9jatriot:
I am a Buhari fan, so no need to prove to me that I understand what challenges the man faced. But stop telling lies to make your point.
Now you have added another lie to the 2 I busted earlier, claiming that new loans have surpassed previous loans. Another lie from the stables of Aminda.

I have previously called the AMINDA guy out with his pseudo-intellectual posturing and clever-by-half barefaced lies. I appreciate the need to hold all governments accountable but what I don't understand is the need to resort to sophistry.

Lol... In a democracy?
The same people you are hoping to lead?
OK!

As in? These guys are so crass. You went to a state, instead of you to share your manifesto and vision with the electorate, you decided to talk down at them!

StoryHaven:
Not really because he became a US citizen. But because he achieved his long term dream.

The song that made him popular was, "Ẹyin Oyibo ẹ wa fun mi ni visa. Ilu yi su mi, ẹ wa fun mi ni visa"

So. It is worth congratulating him.

There was even a rumor that time that the NBC even banned his song to be played on the airwaves.

It was not Lord of Ajasa that sang "Ẹyin Oyibo ẹ wa fun mi ni visa. Ilu yi su mi, ẹ wa fun mi ni visa", it was a guy known as Bembe Aladisa. Lord of Ajasa sang "esa lo bade" and "Nkan to ba wu anybody lo le fenu won so"

BarrElChapo:
Agreed but as someone that’s currently seeing what a cancerous tumor is doing to my dad’s body. It’s a small price to pay.

I empathize with you on your dad's condition. People who do not have relatives that have suffered from cancer do not appreciate how devastating and draining (financially, emotionally and spiritually) the situation can be. In year 2020, my mom was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. She was at the LUTH cancer centre (private ward) and another private hospital for oncology treatment. After, several sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy over the course of 5 years, she died 2025. I pray for a more positive outcome for your dad and may God continue to give you and other family members the strength to continue caring for him. Amen.

SecurityNgr:
What do you think about Primate Ayodele's latest prediction? Share your thoughts in the comments.

A statement full of "if" and "may" cannot be termed as Prediction at best we can call it postulation or guess work!

He recalled that the forum had appealed to the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal to establish more Arabic boarding schools to provide opportunities for students to learn Arabic and Islamic studies.

Here is the problem with this idea, how does providing boarding facilities and opportunities for Arabic and Islamic studies equip the youngsters for employment in this age and time? When they finish their Quranic studies, how are they going to generate income, without necessarily becoming full time Muslim clerics? Can't they be taught stuffs that will improve their employability or creativity as potential entrepreneurs?

Bluna:
Somebody needs to invent a new technology for making homemade palmoil for families. Palm oil is 100 percent sourced from oil palm fruits. We only need a kind of potable milling machine that can process the oil palm fruits in the house. It will help families to make the oil they consume by themselves. Such innovation will surely sell like hotcakes.

Nigerian technicians, where are you?

Brilliant idea! And when this your idea manifests, some of these idiotic palm oil traders will be accusing others of attempting to run them out of business. Meanwhile, they do not care about others when they are cashing out by adding dangerous dyes to their products! Evil people.

IkeOnyia:
But most states are already operating and funding their own state vigilantes in addition to funding federal police. When last did the federal government buy operational vehicles for their federal police? If not for the state governments, the police would be entering keke and commercial buses to pursue criminals.

In addition to your submissions, many Northern states are even funding Hisbah police

helinues:
Something that's yet to be approved nationally

2/3rd of the Nigerian states House of Assembly have to approve it before it can be approved nationally, since it is a constitutional amendment issue.

Mr Kwankwanso, you support hisbah police but you do not support state police, is God not wonderful? When Hisbah police go to destroy people's businesses and goods considered legal under the Nigerian constitution, the Governor is not misusing Hisbah abi!

Parachoko:
Pastor Suleiman can support a Christian candidate but it's now a crime for Muslims to support Muslim candidate

While I am not a big fan of Pastor Suleiman, the context differs. Suleiman supports Obi but I did not read where he expressly tied his support to religion. This other idiot here is tying democratic support to religion and he is making it a ground for campaign. In a multi-religious country, these kind of people should not be occupying any political office. By this statement, it means his conduct in office is likely to be influenced by religious considerations and people of other faith cannot expect equal treatment and fairness from him.

Our cybersecurity architecture in Nigeria is a big joke
Smh
🚶‍♂️

This may not even be a cybersecurity issue. It could just be an insider job. Some Nigerians are just corrupt. Whatever the case may be, the bank should provide the details of the funds withdrawal. What channel was used to move the money: card, ATM, transfer or direct debit? Investigation can start from there.

9jamustbegreat:
In my opinion, I think this NURTW union should be proscribed as a terrorist group. But the politicians won't do that because they use the NURTW bad boys for political thuggery and ballot box snatching.

Have you ever wondered the amount of money that the state transport unions make? Yet, these revenues are never audited. This situation provides the politicians with a very deep purse where they can dip there filthy hands without being questioned.

allthingsgood:
Those are different issues
You can still open more threads on them
But did Atiku take bribe from sunrise or not

Very simple question that cannot be wished away by deflection. Atiku and his media people have to answer this question convincingly. Otherwise, his political aspirations will be severely impaired by this issue especially given his already battered image courtesy of his previous indictment by the USA and OBJ's expose on him.

lordm:
Tinubu does not fix petrol prices

Don't mind these idiots. They want us to go back to the era of scarcity when we used to queue at the filling stations and marketers had a field day. The human memory is short and we have quickly forgotten the challenges we had during the subsidy era.

lamentor78:
I believe most of you just carry hand and type nonsense. You think being a president you can just declare a price without consultation, since you wanted to reduce fuel to N300 naira you will import yourself and starting sell in your house by yourself

Read that piece by Dextrovert again, it is a satire! He was indirectly exposing the folly of returning to the era of fuel and forex subsidies.

Are igbos obsessed with Yorubas? Because wetin be this

The whole thing is sickening.

Eriokanmi:
Ogogo's case get k-leg. There was a time it was rumoured that ogogo was trying to carry drug out of Nigeria and he got caught. After his release which witnessed series of secret negotiations, given his fame,he was always vomiting blood and he later came out it to debunk it, that was ulcer he had. Seems the drug burst in his stomach and had done some irreparable damage. He was under medication for years. He's not been feeling well all along. Same fate befell baba suwe, who later surrendered to the cold hands of death.

There's no need for name-calling here. Whether youre ibo, yoruba or hausawa,If you know any artistes or actors who want to be lured into drug trafficking, tell such fellows to not fall for it but rather, call the police.

This story has been debunked severally and it remains beer parlour gist. Someone who answers names similar to Ogogo was actually caught and it was sensationalized. Thank God that the person's pictures was shared and it was not the face of the thespian. Please refrain from regurgitating this story, if you care about your own reputation in the future lest some people damage your hard earned reputation in life with some made up stories.

Willie2015:
Elective office in Nigeria should be limited to a single term...
Just do your best and go....

This single term for office holders has always been touted as a magic wand that can help elected officers perform well in office. However, that suggestion might not have taken into context the nature of the average Nigerian politician who tries to perform a little bit in his first term in office just so he can be re-elected for a second term.

If and when the constitution only allows a single term of 6 years, the risk is that an elected Nigerian may choose not to perform at all since, in his mind, there is no prize (read second term) to be won.

CharlesCNG:
This is what happens when political conclusions come before arithmetic.
You made four assertions
Let's rebut this point by point.

CLAIM 1: “Buhari paid only ₦8 trillion subsidy in eight years.”

Not quite. Published estimates put Buhari-era subsidy/under-recovery higher. 2022 plus the first half of 2023 alone consumed roughly ₦7–₦8 trillion.So the ₦8 trillion claim for Buhari's entire eight years is already suspect.

CLAIM 2: “Tinubu paid ₦6 trillion subsidy in his first six months.”

You mixing two adminisrations.

NNPC's 2023 figures included about ₦3.3 trillion incurred from January–May—before Tinubu became President.

Tinubu's August–December component was around ₦1.8 trillion.

Buhari incurred part of the bill; Tinubu inherited the ledger—but you mischievously want to hand Tinubu the entire receipt. 😂

CLAIM 3: “Tinubu has outborrowed Buhari in three years.”

WRONG AGAIN. Debt stock ≠ new borrowing.A huge part of the naira increase came from revaluing existing foreign debt after naira depreciation. Another major component was Buhari-era Ways & Means liabilities subsequently recognised/securitised as public debt.

Again , You being mischievous by renaming exchange-rate revaluation and inherited liabilities “Tinubu borrowing.”

CLAIM 4: “Tinubu is splurging subsidy savings on governors for defections.”

Arrant Nonsense . Where is the evidence?

FAAC allocations are constitutionally distributed to federal, state and local governments. Higher government revenues increased the distributable pool. States that could not pay salaries before subsidy removal are not only paying but are building infrastrctures.

Calling statutory allocations political bribes can only come from the figments of the imagination of an atikulated mind


Basically what you have done is mix Buhari's bills with Tinubu's, confuse debt stock with borrowing and turn FAAC allocations into defection payments without evidence—

then announce:“ATIKU WILL BRING SUBSIDY BACK!”

Before Atiku brings anything back, answer one question:

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST—AND WHO WILL PAY?
Atiku is not bringing subsidy back otherwise ask him to provide details of how.
Atiku is just confused and desperate and lying.

I wish you luck in educating that gentleman!

nairalanda1:
There are many people who have enlarged prostate for example, yet still have no symptoms until they do a scan. See the issue?

Having an enlarged prostate does not signal the presence of prostate cancer by itself although you are correct that many people do not screen for cancer, early enough. And I think the reason why people refuse to screen is because cancer diagnosis is almost seen as a death sentence because of the low recovery rate globally.

Tolux17:
Mention two people you know personally whose cancer was cured by herbs?

Professor Soyinka has had cancer for a while but he uses herbal remedy and if you are not told you may not know he has cancer. My mum was diagnosed of colorectal cancer in 2020. She decided to follow the conventional medicine path because she retired from the health sector. After one surgery, several chemotherapies, multiple radiotherapies, several months of pain for her, psychological trauma for the family members and the huge bills, she passed in 2025. Based on these different health outcomes, one would not blame anyone who seeks to follow the alternative path.
