We joined our mother to hawk cooked eggs at motor Park in Ijebu Ode on old Ondo Ore road (not the new express) where all these buses to the East and Midwest used to pass in 1975. My mother trained 5 of us with eggs money.

What's wrong in selling akara? I think the first lady was misunderstood.

E shock you abi?

Keep focusing on IGBOs..while you are surrounded.

Remember this...

The NORTH built Lagos as Military HEAD Of States and when the time comes to make their move on Lagos, you will face the onslaught alone.

Tell them to respect their HOSTs

Southern unity is DEAD.

Nonsense

LegendHero:
You mean 10k has great purchasing power in 2023?

So if 10k can do magic in 2023, why are you condemning 50k in 2026?

TylerForbes:
Very true.
​
I can only imagine how proud you’ll be when your own daughter, after spending 16 long years in school working to be something great, ends up by the roadside selling kuli-kuli. Meanwhile, the councilor’s kids are either cruising through Covenant University or sitting as managers in big firms.

A lot of Igbo businessmen have given account of how they started from nothing. Many of the people who served as nwaboy were disappointed by their master at the end of their service and many have to start will less than 50k but was able to grow their business and today they are doing well.

Why will an Obidients want to crimialise a gesture that reflect their story?

​I’m guessing you’ve already ordered the big pot she’ll be using to start her "empire," right? Please, let me know when she’s done with her education—I’d also love to "empower" her with that same 50k you’re so fond of recommending.

Sheuns:
Are you insinuating that the 20 pounds rumored to be given to some Igbos after the war is what they used to thrive and expand to what they are today?

In other words, you’re directly or indirectly agreeing with what the Igbos have called themselves, wealth creators.

What a time.

Peter OBI and his followers like Oseni Rufai now made selling Àkàrà look like a banditary or armed robbery

Thailand is like heaven compared to Nigeria..

Ddeliverer007:
Nigeria is more corrupt than Pakistan.

Pakistan has happier citizens compared to Nigeria. How can we be happy when Tinubu was sent from hell to torment us.?

What Tinubu has done to us, will take a decade to fix..

* weeping uncontrollably **

Ddeliverer007:
What if I told you that under this wicked administration, Pakistan is way way better than Nigeria, will you believe it??

Pakistan economy is better than Nigeria economy.

Pakistan GDP per capita is higher than Nigeria.

Pakistan has better electricity than Nigeria that is currently in darkness.

Pakistan has better railway network.

Pakistan is better in terms of security. It is safer to live in Pakistan than Nigeria, can you believe that? Yet, it’s true..

People live longer in Pakistan than in Nigeria. Nigeria under Tinubu will kill you. Most of these urchins defending Tinubu won’t cross 55.

Under Tinubu Nigeria has higher infant mortality and maternal mortality than Pakistan. Truely tragic.

Pakistan has better healthcare than Nigeria.

Bobloco:
The hype around state police sounds eerily familiar. It's the same hype we heard about local government financial autonomy. We were told it would be the best thing since sliced bread, that it would finally bring development to the grassroots.

So, where are the results?

Nearly two years later, several local governments are still struggling. In Osun State, for example, local government allocations have been withheld by the Tinubu administration for almost two years, starving councils of funds needed for development and even the payment of salaries. So much for autonomy.

Now we're being sold another miracle cure: state police. The same administration that has presided over one of the country's worst security crises now wants Nigerians to believe that creating another police structure controlled by state governors is the magic wand that will fix everything.

Yet they continue to ignore the drivers of insecurity: deepening hardship, soaring inflation, unemployment, the collapse of the naira's purchasing power, the Tinubu draconian policies mascurading as economic reforms that have made life significantly harder for millions. Treating the symptoms while ignoring the disease has never solved anything.

The existing police force is already understaffed, undertrained, poorly equipped, and poorly paid. The military is deployed internally. The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps exists. States fund vigilante groups. There's the regional security outfits like Amotekun Corps in the south west. Despite all these security outfits, insecurity has continued to worsen.

Now we're expected to believe that state police will suddenly succeed where every other security arrangement has struggled?

Nigerians have seen this before especially under the Tinubu regime, Every new policy is marketed as the best thing since sliced bread. Then reality arrives, implementation fails, accountability disappears, and the public is left bearing the brunt

Until the underlying economic and governance failures are addressed, and until there are credible safeguards against governors turning state police into political enforcers, many Nigerians will see this less as a security reform and more as another overhyped promise.

Our Renewed Hope Education reforms are delivering measurable results.

I’m pleased to see Nigerian universities record their strongest performance yet in the 2026 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

This year, 24 Nigerian universities were ranked globally, up from 21 in previous years, making Nigeria the most represented country in Sub Saharan Africa. Even more encouraging, 17 of those institutions are federal universities, reflecting the progress we are making in strengthening our public higher education system.

Congratulations to the University of Ibadan, the University of Lagos, Bayero University Kano, and every Nigerian university recognised in this year’s rankings. This achievement belongs to the entire higher education sector and demonstrates what is possible when institutions are committed to excellence.

These rankings are not just about prestige. They are evidence that our investments in research, innovation, digital transformation, quality assurance, infrastructure, and governance are beginning to translate into global recognition.

Even more encouraging, 27 additional Nigerian universities participated in this year’s assessment, demonstrating a growing commitment to transparency, benchmarking, and continuous improvement.

Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, we remain committed to the Nigerian Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), ensuring our universities produce the knowledge, innovation, and talent that will drive Nigeria’s future.

The work continues.

Mrfeel:
I stated my genuine fears, of why I don't support state policing and you have your own reasons why you support it , I can't say your reason for supporting it is baseless and you can't say mine are baseless
Like I said, there are my personal fears

BATified2023:
Good evening everyone

I have seen many noise on social media as regards remi Tinubu recent interview generated a lot of emotional outburst from people I will call hypocrites.

Funny enough, majority of those who criticized the idea are the same people that call people lazy for not doing anything, they are the same set of people that will brag that they can turn a desert to city but here someone is saying get busy they are still insulting her.

We all know Nigeria have been battling the issue of unemployment for a very long time, infact 60% of people we finished together during JONATHAN era in the university aren't using their results but doing other things to get busy.

So my question to those insulting remi Tinubu, if government can't employ all graduates...

What will happen to the remaining graduates the government can't employ?

Should they just sit idle doing nothing or get busy with something?

Mrfeel:
Alot of igbos , go to markets run by majority of igbos, lagos tax force harass and extort money from igbo traders on daily basis, agberos do same, we have seen how igbos were denied voting during elections in fact mc oluomo was captured on camera doing this during the last election

DomPerignon:
You see that my thread I created yesterday asking why they are opposed to State policing ?

Now you understand very clearly.

Same people that were pushing for state of origin to be scrapped in place of state of residence and to derecognise indigeneship are here crying over state police .


This is also why they are against the coastal highway because they know the project will open up pristine coastal areas for development by the indigenes of the SS .

They are against this because they see those lands and coastal areas as theirs to conquer and occupy in future.

I know these people more than they know themselves.

Mrfeel:
You can't say my fears are baseless they're genuine fears cause some of my fears are things that already happen to my people in lagos it will increase with state police where from top to bottom is run by people who can't be neutral if a case between an igbo and a Yoruba is reported , plus many of the people who believe in those threats some will be amongst the state police

Linzo:
When we told them Tinubu has no pathways to winning, even with rigging, the paid agents keep fuuling themselves with what is so obvious.

Now they have resorted to fighting dirty by trying to deregister strong opposition political parties on the eve of the election, of which the APC and Tinubu know won't work.

No matter how hard he tries, Obi, Kwankwaso, and Atiku must contest. So, here can Tinubu get votes in Nigeria? None. Even in the SW, he can't win a landslide in any state.

Let him keep chasing clout with the judiciary. What is sure is that no political party will be deregistered before the election. He's just playing a psychological game.

Mrfeel:
Of course, I oppose state police out of my own personal fears

Basic123:
If this news is about the twisted speech of Remi Tinubu. It will be on the front page already

Mrfeel:
I didn't mention anything about using police to tackle criminality , you know what I'm talking about

AndroBlaze:
Yes that is what he is saying, loud and clear....
but TBH a typical Nigerian is among one of the most selfish creatures God has created in this life which is why only those who deceive themselves would be surprised with this kind of comment.

To Obi and all other politicians, keep being true to yourself joor, nothing do you....until something will actually do you, by then it will be too late for all of you!

Mrfeel:
You are pointing out to police when I clearly stated my fears, read my previous comments again

Mrfeel:
I'm stating my own personal fears of state policing, cause even without state police I know what police has been used to do to my people in lagos so it's my personal fear

Racoon:
She should also remember that Nigerians have been killed and are still being killed, but the leadership thereof is obsessed with politics.

Someone went to Jos to forget grief and told bereaved people that there is not light in the airport and he is leaving in 10mins time. Meanwhile someone has been calling the insensitive and unconcerned leadership to accountability.

Mrfeel:
I'm not saying it's only about lagos, I'm telling you why I'm against the state police cause I know what will happen to my people especially in lagos
