This can only happen in the East.

EkenmaPeter:
I was opportune to spend some few month in my community and i was told some people will be going house to house to collect security fee 1k per building. failing to comply the person house will be locked. he will be arrested and hand over to the police (community divisional headquarter) , mind you the place have a divisional police headquarter in the community, and there is more than 3k to 5k residential building in the area, meaning they will be making close to 3million per month then pay 5 to 6 people 15k per month as salary.

so i am asking is this thing legal, and if i refuse to pay , what crime will i be charge with when taking to the police. also there is a lot of corruption in the people heading the issue.

so my question, is it legal?, this area is a remote place with a business salary that cant be more than 15k to 25k per month.

What do you expect from the son of the butcher of southern Kaduna Christians. It is a sad commentary on Nigerian politics that we have citizens supporting this kind of politicians.

Now, I know and can confirm that the source/collection fo data by/from Statisense is nonsense and can be discounted. To say USA has the worst drivers is absolutely not statistically correct. I lived in the USA for almost 40-years.

DrMB:
Think your country has the worst drivers?
You might be right. From speeding and reckless overtaking to complete disregard for traffic laws, these 20 countries top the global list for having the most dangerous drivers in 2025.

So na now you remember that you cannot chop statistics. When you were quoting all the statistics from Indonesia and similar undeveloped countries, you didn't know at that time. Obi is synonymous to hypocrisy.

Definitely, a new Nigeria is imPOssible with Peter Obi.

Oga jmoore, continue taking panadol for someone else headache. Ask your sponsors to produce photographs of their own classmates first.

jmoore:
Where is Tinubu's alma mater in Nigeria?

His primary and secondary school classmates?

For solution or to stop these sponsored killings, you need to ask your people at the Association of Disgruntled Coalition (ADC) to stop playing politics with human life.

*Disrupting the Status Quo: How Tinubu Tore the Veil.*

_Kay Lord | 20 July, 2025_

I know the image people have of him is that he is one of them—a deal maker, a member of the so-called Nigerian establishment. And no matter which party they belong to—APC, PDP, Labour, Coalition, ADC, etc.—they are all one and the same. Their major aim is to ensure that the status quo remains, no matter who is in government or from which party.

That has always been how the Nigerian system and its operations have been perpetuated for many years—to ensure certain things remain as they are, to the advantage of some sections and a class of the very powerful within society.

Whenever a leader comes into office and tries to change the way things are done and induce reforms within the system, they quickly warn him: “Don’t go there. Just be the president, do your job, and don’t touch certain areas.” If he tries to be stubborn, they show their hand quickly. Then, “wisdom” prevails, and the leader withdraws into his shell, maintaining the status quo ante.

It does not matter how or what they campaigned on. Campaigning is one thing; governance is another. That the three major candidates campaigned on removing fuel subsidies and addressing the FX crisis does not mean all of them would have carried out that promise.

With the benefit of hindsight, the two who were defeated in that election have since walked back their positions. They now say they only promised a gradual removal—that was a lie! All three candidates promised it would be the first thing they would do in office.

I was not surprised when Governor Radda of Katsina said President Buhari told him he wanted to remove the fuel subsidy but was seriously warned against it—and that Bola is very powerful to have been able to do it. The reason PMB arrived at is that Bola was able to do it because he did not discuss it with anybody.

It is not just about President Bola Tinubu being powerful or has extraordinary influence, but what he has is native intelligence—knowing that if you want to cause change and disrupt a system that has become hegemonic and highly institutionalized, you cannot do things in the usual way.

His inaugural speech was written for him, I believe. Like all leaders, he read it, removed what he didn’t want, added what he wanted, and asked his speechwriters to reflect those changes in the final version.

BAT, I believe, deliberately did not include the removal of the oil subsidy in his inaugural speech. It wasn’t an omission—it was intentional. Had he included it, there was a real possibility it would have leaked, and he would have received visits or phone calls from the “owners” of Nigeria asking whether subsidy removal was part of his speech and tell him not to dare.

He kept it in his heart and announced it extemporaneously—to the shock of the nation and indeed to the shock of the so-called owners of Nigeria. There was no going back; it had been announced. It was gone.

Another issue that has become a cross on every president’s shoulder is the FX market—the value of the naira and the wide gap between the official and parallel market rates—which has allowed some very powerful and institutionalized Nigerian power brokers to make ridiculous amounts of wealth through round-tripping in our opaque FX market.

Powerful individuals in this country have built tremendous wealth through the FX market and its lack of transparency. Like the oil and gas sector, these are areas of national life that no leader can afford to tamper with—unless he’s ready to be taken down in no time.

In these three areas—Subsidy, FX, Oil & Gas—different segments of the Nigerian elite operate and have institutionalized their grip. Touch these areas as a president, and you are a goner.

It was Babatunde Raji Fashola who said Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s greatest weapon is his deceptive demeanour. He looks weak and unassuming, which causes people to seriously underestimate his intelligence and ability to outmanoeuvre opponents when they least expect it.

Someone told me BAT expected the noise coming from the so-called “establishment,” especially concerning subsidy removal and FX market reforms. These two areas have lined the pockets of powerful individuals and the establishment in Nigeria for decades. It is their source of livelihood.

Therefore, for a president they assumed was one of them and would maintain the status quo to strike them when they least expected it—it shocked them to the core. And now, they are fighting back. Rightly so, from their point of view.

Bola Tinubu is not known to take the easy way out of anything. He has always been a disruptor of old, compromised, and weak systems from which a few individuals profit. In all of his careers—from the corporate private sector to politics—disruption and reform have always been his forte.

He once carried out an audit at Mobil that led to the recall of his expatriate MD. He stood by his audit, wrote his resignation letter, and dared Mobil headquarters in the U.S. to re-evaluate his report. He was willing to resign if his submissions were found wanting.

In the end, his audit was validated. The expatriate MD in Nigeria was recalled, and Tinubu was promoted to Treasurer to implement the recommendations from his audit. They said, "Who better to implement the reforms than the one who proposed them?"

That’s the same way he broke the back of the ghost workers’ cabal in the Lagos State Government. They labelled him “ojuyobo”, used the labour union against him, but he weathered the storm. He insisted on digitizing Lagos State’s payroll system—and won.

With biometric capture in the civil service, Lagos eliminated about ₦700 million in ghost payments from a monthly payroll of ₦451 million.

After extending the system to local government staff, monthly savings reached approximately ₦600 million from a ₦1.2 billion payroll. That implies about ₦600 million saved each month. Over a year, that equates to roughly ₦7.2 billion in annual savings.

Monthly savings: ₦600 million
Annual savings: ₦7.2 billion

These figures reflect significant efficiency gains from the biometric system, reducing payroll abuse and ensuring budget integrity.

Let’s be realistic. The reason many people still don’t like him today is due to the erroneous belief that he is part of the establishment—the same establishment whose financial lifelines he has always severed. What people need to understand is that to beat them at their game, you must understand them. Bola Tinubu knows them. That’s why he’s always able to outplay them.

Now, it’s a battle of wits. They are gathering and coalescing, furious that every financial pipeline that serviced their pockets has been cut off by Tinubu. The irony of this fight is that the very people for whom the reforms are being carried out do not realise it—because of the inevitable harsh realities of reform.

Some are even hailing these individuals who are gathering with the sole aim of removing Tinubu. And they have not hidden their mission—to take power from Tinubu because he dared to stop the flow of money through subsidies and FX. They are fighting dirty.

Of course, they won’t admit the real reason for their anger. Instead, they’ll say, “The people are hungry,” blaming Tinubu for bringing hardship—yes, hardship with an expiry date. But with these reforms, their access to free money has come to an end forever.

Therefore, the 2027 election will be a fight for the freedom of the Nigerian people—people who have been kept in the dark for too long while the establishment smiled to the bank with our commonwealth. Darkness has no place where light has been unleashed. The time for Nigerians to see the light is now. Tinubu has torn the veil!

COPIED.

Please when is the next T-bill auction, and what is the result of the last auction. Thank you.

Quite to the contrary. Our leaders is a reflection of us Nigerians

Nigerians emulate their leader

Put a honest leader and see how good Nigerians can be

Evil paid in the last election so everyone is on that lane

Aregbesola is an ingrate - ungrateful man. He his bitten the hand that carried him when he was nobody and fed him. He now thinks more highly of himself while his small followers are beating the drum of disgrace around him. The Yoruba adage said if you are jubilating riding a horse and dancing the sound of drums, it is always good to pause and look back to understand the sound and the words of the drummers, and also to see who is still dancing with you. Disgraceful nonentity.

A coalition of dishonorable honorables, disgruntled elements united only for their demented view of removing Tinubu. They have nothing to do with improving Nigeria as a nation and Nigerians as a people.

These people are criminals, looters and corruption incorporated. In a sane climate, most of them would have been jailed or killed or even committed suicide for disgracing and desecrating their family name, but they have no shame.

Their followers are just like them, shameless set of people.

DrMB:
When ex-governors, ex-ministers, and ex-candidates crowd under one roof, it’s never just strategy, it’s a cocktail of ambition, grudges, and clashing egos. They’re not just uniting to win, they’re each hoping to lead. Welcome to ADC’s high-stakes coalition, 25 political heavyweights, one crowded throne.

The past is not a good prediction of the present nor of the future. Many women doing OS are doing it for two reasons, either situational or transactional. Situation forces many people to do what naturally they wouldn't think of doing, the situation they find themselves has pushed them to the wall and couple with the fact that those that can help demands something in return (and most is an exchange of their body for the assistance). Very unfortunate situation because at the end of the day, the woman also will feel remorse and even might enter into depression. If you can find it in your heart to love her unconditionally and not always bringing up her past, you will earn her trust, and her past will not define her future relationship with you.

MrHandsome2013:
I met this girl online based on parole and I fell in love with her.

We started dating and everything is fine.
When I asked her why she was doing OS.

She told me that she is the one sponsoring her self in school and none of her family members are supporting her.

I intend to wife but scared of her past.
I have listened to many online counseling videos that a woman’s past matters a lot.
She had told me she is now changed person.

Then I came up with lies that in our culture that if a woman cheat outside marriage that she will run mad immediately that if she can cope with that.
She told me it is fine , that she did os to support her school

See false prophet operating with familiar spirit.

This man just wants to be relevant, the coalition ignored him and in the overall scheme of things he has nothing to offer - an ordinary armchair economist. A politician that holds no water and an economist that always issue false prediction.
