Why spend State funds on hosting an expensive banquet, when the state is borrowing money to fund infrastructure?

Good speech.

IhateAfonjas:
$25k is 60 million naira ?? In what country ??

I'm clearly referring to the 60 million you said he got for being a Glo ambassador. Isn't that obvious ?

IhateAfonjas:

What drugs are you on ?? Stupidity pills ??

End of his career because of a mere $25k ?? Poverty is a disease

I can pay off that debt without going to the bank, not even to talk about Burna boy who started making millions of dollars at the age of 18

Being a Glo ambassador made him a cool 60 mil

You can smell the end of his career but can't smell the poverty that is wrecking your life

60 million NAIRA. And part of that sum will go to his label/management.

There are many fishy things about this blog post. For one, what is 'New York Supreme Court'? And nobody is going to litigate and ask for only $25k back...legal fees alone will gulp the lot.

By the time he comes and goes back, I will want you to still maintain the same position o! Mayweather is visiting Nigeria and you think it's a waste. Have you botherd to check what visits like this does to the communities this celebs visit. He wll make commitment and he will fulfil them interms of assistance to be it Destitutes, Handicapped people, Widows, Building an academy, Adoption of exceptionally talented orphans, opening up potentials of those communities to the world, Staging of big fights in Nigeria in the future.. etc. Mayweather will come and go and Nigeria will be the biggest gainer not Mr Mayweather.

Why can't the money being used to fly him in and pay for his visit go directly to the 'destitutes, handicapped people, widows and orphans' you cite?

Tons of other reasons you could have attempted to use to justify this, but this is completely illogical and brainless.

Tellemall:
Why do people feel the need to depend on celebrities? Yeah, it happened once or twice, but not everybody likes to share.

Did you even bother to read the article?

Seems like every other year someone posts this throwback picture.

Smh

This doesn't seem all that impressive, to be honest. The whole thing looks pretty barebones.
context matters. Considering the tens of billions of Naira borrowed and the large monthly influx from IGR and allowance from the FG, I still find the pace of development in Rivers State seriously lacking.

Before you come at me with that APC vs PDP bullcrap, I thought the same about Amaechi's second term too.

Again?

That press release is cringeworthy.

omenkaLives:
Very jew man.

Who the hell writes "live in USA" on their birthday cake?

Smh.

A bini man

eezeribe:
These girls could really drive someone craozy...

For sure, something must have driven you crazy to write this trash .

carzola:
All this happen during
Buhari's tenure..
In an afonja state
That voted for him.

Don't be stupid, please. This is a serious issue.

DamiBukola:
look at how u r defending corruption. So because it will be done, the road worth almost a trillion naira ?

I hate corruption. I also hate laziness.

You've been calling this 'corruption' repeatedly but ZERO attempt to show why you think it is overpriced. Zero research, zero effort. Where is the working to show you've benchmarked this against other bridge projects worldwide?

Smh.

All that long write up masks the painful fact that the actual list of measurable achievements is rather meager and paltry.

90% of the OP is spent in meaningless prose and endless flattery. Only 10% talks about 'achievements ' in the vaguest of terms. There will never be a shortage of sycophants in Nigeria.

Always amazing how people just wake up and believe the woman is at fault without any proof.

seems in Nigeria, only Pastors get defended with alacrity.

That is how that man came home from America, got shot by kidnappers/robbers after flaunting wealth in a club and the family blamed it on the estranged wife in the US.

Ololanla:
This INEC and APC are padipadi

You say this because you swallowed unofficial results posted by a POP supporter here ?

Lmao. You people are gullible sha

JideAmuGiaka:
You realize there's Chibok girl in that tweet.

Sorry, that's not in that tweet

JideAmuGiaka:
Did you say JSS1?. I thought that the students kidnapped were writing their SSCE examination.

You realize there's nothing in that tweet that says the girl was from the batch writing SSCE?

I've seen much better, to be honest

ayusco85:
The statement reads, “The worse form of social injustice, terrorism and religious bias is to deny Christian children their right to practise their religion despite the role of Christian Religious Studies in helping to shape the moral character and integrity of our children as future leaders.



How true is this please?

Not true

These current crop of CAN leaders are a disappointment.

These wankers are mad. Stealing my tax money and claiming nobody has a right to investigate because of 'covert intelligence'?

They must be insane. Even the FBI gets audited.

bond77:
Did Jesus Christ vie for any political post when he was on earth? Abeg make we no derail sha or worst still turn the thread to a religious battleground.

Did Jesus Christ drive a car?

Omo baba olowo

If I get 2.5m in my life right now,in three months mehn I'll give davido his 2.5m and would've made nothing less than 5m

Baba God you're seeing me now ooo!!
I haven't gone to do any money ritual ooo
Just answer my call abeg

If you had a sure banker way to make that return in 3 months, you won't be here on NL lamenting.

I don't know which one is more pathetic. Posting these receipts online or the fact that people will still flock to social media to hail this.

Nutase:
You don't need to be prophet to realise that sunusi's mouth is his Achilles heel.

Spoken like a typical cowardly Nigerian. Nobody ever rallies around the outspoken or courageous.

The usual lovers of corruption have started bashing Sanusi again. No surprise there.

TinaAnita:
So I should dispose the phone that I've not used for 6 months for a new one all in the name of Whatsapp? You must be a joker

6 months ago? You bought a BBOS or BB10 phone less than 6 months ago?

No, madam, I think YOU must be the joker.

TinaAnita:
You must be high on some expired cheap substance. Keep advertising sheer ignorance.

Accept my sympathies. I once had a Trium that was hopelessly outdated while others were using Nokia 3310...back in 2003. I too would have lashed out then at strangers on the Internet.

Cheers

BBM is already dead.

TinaAnita:
Whatever happens to Whatsapp? This strategy/compensation won't work on me. I was expecting BlackBerry to find a way to retain Whatsapp beyond June 30 not this crap. My BBM contacts are so useless now, if Whatsapp is taken away then BlackBerry becomes so useless.

New Blackberry phones run on Android these days. Those have full whatsapp support. Stop clinging to archaic devices running dead OSes.

Seriously impressive performance from Edo State. Generates far higher IGR than every single South Eastern state which should nominally be higher since several of those are manufacturing powerhouses.
