It is late now. Even at Appeal Court, any political party or person can join as interested party.

No need to appeal this judgment. It will strengthen our democracy unless...

Transcript that should be on student portal that they can download anytime. If an education institution is still living in 1920, how will the country move forward

Please sir, which school in Nigeria can a student download his/transcript from the students portal?

Gbadebo will know now that the love and supports he enjoyed was because of Peter Obi and very soon the Baba sọpe boys will soon label Doherty an Ibo man from Ụmụnnede that wants to take Lagos from Yoruba.

They should just release this guy. We have many serious and bigger problems in Nigeria than holding a man that stated the obvious.

I know he will go to France even before I open the news. He must visit the place to gather strength.

Whether or not they can defeat tibunu by 12 noon...


I don't know that one.


What I do know is that the best combo that would give tibunu a run for his money is an atiku/obi ticket!

I

Atiku/Obi will not defeat Tinubu because many Obidients like me will not vote for any northerner in the next election. I will just stay in my house and watch Tinubu till 2031.

When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was newly inaugurated, the slogan then from his base and supporters was that '... It will favour me and my family'.
Please permit me to ask, how is this fuel price favoring you and your family?
I just paid ₦120,000 for fuel now. Ara ń kan mí gógó.

Yakubu promised more than this until glitches appeared from nowhere

Why attack another sovereign states in response to Israel's aggression? At the end, Iran will attract more enemies to herself and will lose religious empathy since they are now attacking Islamic neighbours.

Sincerely, reading the responses of some of the residence APC loyalists here, I have come to the conclusion that some youths are not ready for the future we talked about.

They are just okay with the crumbs that are given to them by the politicians while the politicians kids eat the best food at the table and happy with the feelings that my party is winning.

Sincerely, we are not ready because how can a reasonable person condemn Obi on this?

Last election truly reset Lagos. They are yet to recover and daily threatens by the nightmare. This will not change anything…unfortunately, Igbo or Hausa is not the problem, we are our problems, leaders should change engagement strategies bc this new move will take them further backward and create more hatred.
Mo wi temi na!

Nairaland don't break news again. They publish 3 or 4 days news now. Please Seun step up the game.

What is the population of the other countries above and below us? Continue to deceive yourself.

Iran boasted more than this when USA baby (Israel) was dealing with them.

What have you said now?? Plenty explanation without result or solution.

I will still vote for Peter Obi in 2027.

For those saying Obi is no more relevant, take note, I voted for him in 2023 and I will vote for him again in 2027 by God's grace.

It is finished! There is no hope is sight. This government is deaf and dumb. We kept repeating the same people and expecting different results. Ko le work....

If you ask me the reason why this terrorists are kidnapping schools children, I will say they want to use them as shields against Trump likely invasion and aerial bombing.

Watch how some people will come here to defend their oppressors.

This guy no well. Southwest is sophisticated and we vote competence and performance. Even if the person is our own, he must give positive account of his stewarsh before a rẹ election.
I know some will still vote for fake statistics based on cup of rice, religious and tribal sentiments but for the elites in the southwest, Tinubu is a gonner.
Have you wondered why he lost in places like Lekki, Ikoyi, VI etc and only won in Ikorodu, Ajangbadi, etc? That was the result of sophistication.

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has filed a public interest suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja, challenging the legality of the Nigeria Police Force’s newly introduced tinted glass permit policy.
The decision to litigate the matter was one of the key resolutions of the NBA’s National Executive Council (NEC) at its pre-conference meeting held on August 23, 2025, in Enugu.

In April 2025, the Inspector General of Police introduced a policy mandating motorists to obtain annual tinted glass permits through a digital portal (possap.gov.ng) managed by a private vendor, with associated fees payable into a private account. The policy, initially slated for enforcement on June 1, 2025, was later postponed to October 2, 2025.

Despite this extension, the NBA noted widespread reports of police officers harassing and extorting motorists at checkpoints under the guise of enforcing the policy. The Association described the development as a clear violation of constitutionally guaranteed rights, including the dignity of the human person, privacy, freedom of movement, and ownership of property.

The Association further questioned the statutory basis of the policy, citing the Motor Tinted Glass (Prohibition) Act of 1991 as an outdated military-era legislation incapable of meeting the test of a law “reasonably justifiable in a democratic society” under Section 45 of the 1999 Constitution. It also pointed out that the Act contains no provisions for annual renewals or payment of fees, thereby exposing the policy as lacking legal foundation.

Of particular concern to the NBA is the fact that payments for the permits are being made into a private account—PARKWAY PROJECTS, Account No. 4001017918—instead of the Federation Account, raising transparency and accountability questions.

Consequently, on September 2, 2025, the NBA, through its Section on Public Interest and Development Law (SPIDEL), instituted Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/182/2025: The Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Bar Association v. The Inspector General of Police & Anor.

The action is spearheaded by SPIDEL Transition Committee Chairman, Prof. Paul Ananaba, SAN, and the Section’s Public Interest Litigation Committee led by Mr. Olukunle Ogheneovo Edun, SAN, whose coordinated efforts ensured the swift filing of the case.

Speaking on the matter, Prof. Ananaba emphasized that the NBA would pursue the litigation to its logical conclusion. He urged all parties to respect the judicial process, suspend enforcement of the policy, and allow the courts to determine its legality.

“As the conscience of the nation, the NBA cannot stand by while the rights of Nigerians are trampled upon under a policy riddled with constitutional and statutory irregularities,” Prof. Ananaba said.

The matter is currently awaiting assignment to a judge of the Federal High Court.

I think Mr Obi still doesn't realise this is not 2023.

At least half of those who vote for him then will not bother next time around.

That is not true my brother, the truth is that many that did not believe in him then that trusted Tinubu to change Nigeria will vote for him now especially now that Tinubu has disappointed them. I and my family voted for Obi in 2023 and we will do it again with many more people.
Stop reading messages from APC forwarded messages of propaganda, the truths on the streets state otherwise sir.

APC strategy at work through Wike. Nobody can defeat Tinubu through PDP since Wike still controls it.

Awa ti a wa l"Eko nko? She should also donate to many that lost their businesses to flood yesterday in Lagos. Charity begins at home Aunty Remi.

Any where Obi goes, I will follow too. It was Obi I followed to Labour and on my way to ADC

They will still campaign for him 2027. By then, APC will pay them the arrears and put the blame on some imaginary party members and apologise. The alátẹnujẹs will forget, forgive and Campaign again.

God bless President Tinubu for stopping forex subsidies that made some people billionaires overnight .

So it is the hatred for some billionaires that put all of us in this mess? Which is better? For one criminal to escape or to punish innocent 200M people?

LAGOS TO INTRODUCE AND ENFORCE MONTHLY HOUSE RENT.

While this is commendable, however, I doubt the effective implementation of this policy and let me borrow the language of our politicians, "Lagos State is not ripe for this".

Permit me to highlight some issues and also make some recommendations based on my personal experience as a lawyer, landlord, property manager and employer of labour.

In the countries where this is practiced, the court and enforcement systems are working efficiently.

If you refuse to pay your rent as at when due, you will meet your load outside (your loads will be thrown outside for scavenger to feast on) but here, you must serve quit notice, 7 days owners intention to recover possession, file suits in court if the tenant refuses to deliver possession, spend months in court, after the judgment, the tenant will appeal and you will probably spend years at the appeal court and after judgement, you will still spend another money and time for the enforcement and execution of the judgment.

While all these processes are going on, the tenants are living rent free in your house and you can't result to self help.

We need to strengthen the enforcement institution and processes before the implementation of the policy.

Secondly, government should also live by example, you can't continue to increase your approval fees or introduce new fees every time and expect the landlord not to recover their investment on time.

Thirdly, we need to also consider landlords/developers that obtained loans to build the properties, we need to also consider the repayment plans and the likely accrued interests. These need to be regulated too.

Furthermore, government should also build affordable houses and estates for people to choose from. Jakande did it, if we have more of that, the landlord will be forced to comply with the policy. The law of supply and demand will play critical roles in this.

I want to add that, some other facilities in the houses are provided by the landlords e.g boreholes, Security and in some cases, access roads etc. Government should provide these as this will reduce the cost of building new houses, especially in developing areas.

Government should also look into the books and styles of employers who do not pay salary as at when due. Some pay 15th of the other month. This will also affect when tenants pay rents to the landlords.

Governments should also improve the economy and reduce the inflation. Presently for a project I am working on, I bought cement at N10,500 per bag, N600,000 for 30 tons of granite, N210,000 for 20 tons of sharp sand, N110,000 for 20 tons of filling sand and N750 per 6" block. How do you expect the landlord to cope with the monthly rent with the current rates of building materials?

I wish to add that the minimum wage should be increased and mandate that employers should pay good wages as this will encourage the landlord to collect good monthly rates from tenant. A situation where tenants are paying N4k per month for a room is a bad investment. In London, some Nigerians pay as high as £2000 pounds monthly for a flat. That is about N4,500,000 per month. Can anybody pay that amount monthly for a two bedroom flat now in Nigeria? The answer is No.

Finally, we can make the system work if all stakeholders are sincere and ready to make sacrifices to build a better Lagos. Itesiwaju Eko, ajumo ṣe gbogbo wa ni.
