Obviously the list was compiled by a Yoruba. The person biasely populated the top spots with Yoruba monarchs. There's absolutely no monarch that is as influential as Sultan of Sokoto who is the leader of all muslims in Nigeria. Traditionally, all the northern emirs defer to him including the influential emir of Kano.
The next in position should be Ooni of Ife because the whole Yoruba race defer to him. The Oba of Benin follows up close because the Binis are not as populous as the Yorubas.

BAT and his people thrive on propaganda. BH was decimated during Buhari admin. They shouldn't give them an inch to resurrect.

Think9ja:
I don't understand this country at all.

How can you blame a lawmaker for a security issue? Tinubu controls the Police, DSS, Nigerian Army, National Intelligence Agency, Civil Defence, Customs, Immigration and every other security architecture in Nigeria, but it is Ndume that should be ashamed that 120k southern Borno people are in IDP camps? What level of ignorance is this?

He went further to say he should mention projects he has done for his people. For goodness sake what kind of project is he talking about?

The other day the clowns on Arise TV are saying Senator Imasuen didn't do the road to his house. Only Abati reminded them that that is not the job of a lawmaker.

Senator Akpoti started a medical outreach programme for her constituents and people on nairaland are saying she's the best senator.

Asin, which kind school we de go for this country sef? So many so called graduates from the so called top universities don't even know what a lawmaker should do and shouldn't do. And when those lawmakers pad budget, you turn around to call them all sorts of names.

Where do you expect them to get money for all these projects?

A senator's job is to make laws and perform oversight functions. Anything else is out of magnanimity.

I swear a lot of Nigerians are not properly educated

Oga Nigerians have changed the functions of federal legislators. The job is no more gauged by lawmaking but by number of projects the lawmaker attracts to his constituency. It's quite unfortunate

Good move. If the Niger Delta states were serious, they should have acquired oil mining licenses several years ago. Just imagine the revenue boost for a state which has a company that produces 50k barrels per day! No be everyday you go dey blame FG

DeOTR:
I'm not sure this is the number of generated NIN. It's possible to enroll multiple times, you can only get a single NIN out of any multiple enrollment. I maintain that there's no way Kano State is up to 10million in population

Yes. There's no way Lagos is up to 12 million except if they are counting the fishes in the lagoon.

RepoMan007:
Kano is a border town/state with lots of immigrant(hausa speaking). That has also influenced settling patterns.

Kano is not a border state

Buhari friend

ALTERNATEID:
Constituency projects and nothing else. The projects were not initiated by the school but inserted into the school’s budget by lawmakers. You all want lawmakers to attract projects to your constituencies but you will still come and cry about it. If you don’t want budgetary provisions like this, tell your elected lawmakers to stop constituency projects.

Tinubu has nothing to do with constituency projects. It’s your lawmakers from APC, PDP and Labour Party that inserted the projects in the budget of MDAs.

You captured it aptly. Lawmakers have no option but to engage in this unwholesome practice. If not, the heat from their constituencies will be unbearable. The best thing is to stop constituency projects completely.

It's irkful anytime the govt decides to start demolishing properties, as if they were not aware when such places were been developed.

The coastal railway is expected to gulp at least $15 billion not 2.6 trillion

hammer567:
Even a dunce knows this but Tinubu want to use federal government to build road and railway across the islands in Lagos.

Which Calabar is he heading, do u know how many bridges it will take to cross the massive bodies of water across Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Cross Rivers?

Dey play!

I'm sure the bridges will be more than 100. This highway is a scam

Good move. Citizens have the full rights to exercise freedom of religion. Wearing hijab is a right.

Different eras, different economic realities.

This a good step. I pray it gets implemented. You can't control what you don't measure. Without proper data, all interventions are bound to fail. The govt shouldn't depend on NGOs/international organisations for demographic data because there's a high tendency for such people to inflate/deflate figures in order to continue to draw funding from donors.

This loan might turn out to be a big relief for indigent students, especially in these hard times. Graduate with a good grade, get a job and pay back back the loan gradually

Fake data. NW with 75? Sth just one class in Umaru Musa University produces. Stati(non)sense!

Bluntemperor:
Your closed mindset could not allow percolation of New things at all!
Go back and read the whole messages, even the two bodies you mentioned have been fused into one!
You see your life,as election loss has dealt with you a deadly blow!

Mumu, show me where they wrote that they were fused

Another duplication. Where's HIDF, PIDF etc? The problem is not the formation but the funding. How can you get say $10b annually for 5 years? If not, we'll be in a perpetual cycle of slow development

If it's the quota to mobilise troops to the front line, they'll never call for inclusion. But anything juicy, they'll be quoting senseless "affirmative action".
Since when BH insurrection started, I've never heard of a female security personnel who was felled by enemies. Neither during the current scourge of banditry. But thousands of men had laid their lives to ensure that the political structure stands.
In essence, the female folk should not run faster than their shadows. In the roles that you find yourself, make it count. Don't be a Diezani, Sadiya or Betta. Be an Akunyili. People will beg me to lead them.

The handiwork of CIA and MOSSAD

Fake news

MemphitzDgreat1:
Redirect your assertions to Vanguard newspapers

Wow. You have successfully ceded your brain to Vanguard. You need to see a doctor o

MemphitzDgreat1:
😏😏😏😏

God gave you a brain for a purpose. How will you believe that Kebbi State has 900 billion Naira? It's akin to believing that Nigeria has 900 trillion Naira

Good one. Why will someone have the temerity to form an ethnic vigilante? This is a good precedent being set

MemphitzDgreat1:
Nor be this same Kebbi governor wey approve a whooping N967.6bn to cover registration fees for just 20,908 Kebbi Students.

Equivalent to approximately N46m per student:

As in N46,000,000 per student😳

What kind of schools are these Kebbi students attending for inside this Nigeria??🤷‍♂️

Chai, where did you get this false information? E get some things wey even if na your father tell you, you no suppose believe am. This is one of such

One of the very few Nigerian politicians who has made a mark in all the public roles he was assigned. He's the perfect match for the obstinacy of the citizenry to do the right thing. One day, perhaps when he's no more, people will get to know who he truly is.

Too subjective to call, because the estimate depends on the layout.

Let them mention the universities na. If they are public universities, I'm pretty sure they won't be banned from their religious activities. However, the usage of school facilities for religious services might be banned to avoid chaos.

Another avenue to steal. The wicked World Bank will be glad to give so that they go keep holding us for neck

735i:
It is impossible for a currency to depreciate by over 100%. This is shabby reporting.
It's true that the currencies listed have performed very badly, but their computations are wrong.

For a currency to be negative 100, it means that you holding the currency is you owing in USD, which is impossible.

I think you got it wrong. A currency can depreciate or appreciate with no cap - it can go negative 1000%. What matters is the benchmark. If reference is taken from say last year when official rate was around 500 Naira to a Dollar, then match it with today's almost 1500 Naira to a Dollar. That's 3X thus - 300%. Hope you get the gist

HarryGleb:
When will the army revenge over the killings of their colleagues in the north or are they afraid of northerners?

Which northern community have you ever heard that killed soldiers?

This is spot on. But politicians won't like it,because it will block their choppings
