eye service still better than your useless governor that have nothing to offer...I don't care whichever state you come from!

zikter:
Institutions? You know nothing, institutions that are neck deep into the mess, yes he may not go everywhere but a strong message is already sent to all and sundry. Many of such centers will be very cautious, knowing that the governor may come anytime. If someone does something reasonable, it is good to commend them and move on

No wonder it is very easy to deceive average Nigerians. Politician will go and sit children to eat in classroom, eating corn on the street and taking pictures to post on social media. Joining akara fryer on the street. Then you lot fall for the gimmicks.
Ask yourselves why such practices do not happen in saner climes? As governor and a professor for that matter, he should know better. Strong institutions are bedrock of societal development and discipline. Okay, he should also disguise and go to police check-points. He can also disguise and visit ministrues, departments and agencies.
Institutional controls will eliminate those sharp practises. How many hospitals has he built as governor? Free healthcare is useless if the hospitals are not there. What is the means of registration for patients and identifying those who access the free service? You leave patients at the mercy of corrupt system and run around with camera to show you are working. Governors should be strategist, not running after nurses and teacher to do their jobs.

If not, there are institutional controls to manage this. How many hospitsls is he going to disguise to visit? How many schools will he be visiting?

Atiku/Obi versus Tinubu/ Ganduje.

Good, ket SW bring Asiwaju or Osinbajo to face Atiku. The beating to be like segè

SonofDevil:
amosun was the closet to buhari. At a time buhari was living in amosun house in ikeja. Amosun sponsored some of buhari children. Amosun has undeniable access to buhari till date but that couldn't stop amosun from receiving plank from oshomole.
Oshomole dealt with amosun bubu couldnt do anything about it
Buhari have already reward onu by keeping him in a redudant ministry to be collecting allocation without do anything

You may have a point there, however put it correctly. In that Buhari was watching when Tinubu used Oshomole to plank Amosun. You know why, Buhari had all to lose in 2019, so was willing to allow anything. That said, 2023 belongs to the Igbos. Others are just mere noise makers.
By the way, where is Oshomole after planking Amosun?

We need people like Ogbonnaya Onu at the helm

Atleast better than bullion vans showmanship.

Yinmu!
It's not about Buhari right hand man who is just one man, Buhari don't like the Igbos at all and that's where the problem is.

E go shock una. Buhari that is strategically positioning CPC members for 2023. Leave matter for Mattias.

Ogbonnaya Onu is Buhari's right hand man. If this man expresses interest in 2023, I can bet Buhari will OVERWHELMINGLY support it.
Forget all those paying day and night visits to take pictures in Aso rock. Onu has been with Buhari from APP to ANPP to CPC and APC. On each of these parties he was either chairman or an exco man supporting Buhari. A detrabalized Bigerian with the necessary political and social mien that the country needs now.
I see Buhari pushing him forward to lead Nigeria.

I am not here to trade blames but just to make suggestions. In Nigeria, when things happen everyone look towards one direction. Reading reactions, everyone is blaming the builder, calling him greedy, everyone is blaming the fact that 15 floors were approved but builder is building 21. Yes, we all have reasons to attribute blames to what seem obvious. However, in matters such as this there is neeed to look beyond the ordinary. I am sure noone will set out to start a building of this magnitude without being conscious of the risks of likely adverse events and stupidly go about cutting corners, especially giveb the fact that this same individual has had constructions in UK and SA, where building coded are clearly stringent and rigorous.
My curiosity was significantly aroused on learning that the MD of Fourscore home was also trapped in the rubbles. I am wondering how so coincidental that he was there at the time of the collapse. Except his office is permanentky situated in the uncompleted structure, which strongly doubt.
Could there have been sabortage? Could it be a coincident? This is why I think that the Federal and State governments need to preserve the site after the rescue effort and have forensic experts look closely at this unfortunate incident.
My 2 cents here.

Where are the Nigerian Policemen there? Ok, they are at Idemili shooting Policewood movie. Looks like that location is fully Biafranized.

BMC will soon be jobless come 2023. The wailing has started in earnest.

I hope they are not obeying their spiritualist?.And all those collecting the money are not freely exchanging their destinies for a couple of naira.? The devil does not give anything for free.

vedaxcool:
Your evil PDP under the leadership of Obasanjo your new found evil slave master withheld Lagos allocation, ask yourself what any sane administrator would do in such situation? He delivered what was possible under the tyrannical strangulation of PDP which deals in poverty and under development.

You people keep masturbating on LG allocation, that was remitted even before Tinubu left office. What did they do with the money then. Again, OBJ was following constitution of not remitting funds to unrecognised CDAs.

PDP ti takeover. Op is already confused.
No hope for Tinubu and APC.

melaniaup:
I have listen and read propagandas saying APC is the creation of both north and south west but let's check this fact Rochas Okorocha , Rotimi Amaechi to name a few but popular ones under which party were they before the emergence of Buhari Mohammed as president.

The antecedent being spread by some folks saying the north and them being the west form the party is like saying the party chairmanship should have been a talk for war without seeing to the main reason the party should fall under the opposition

And please be reminded that Rochas Okorocha a sitting governor then was and still a member of the All Progressive Congress APC

If you like kill yourself with your propaganda you can fight against your house or structure

We should be careful not to become a minority due to the fight. Learn your history well.

A - Another

P - Propaganda

C - Conceived

@OP, APC was created to remove Southern Christians from power. It is normal for people like Okotocha and others to be part of it. Do you even know that some blacks were in support of the apartheid regime in South Africa then? Or maybe you never knew that some Jews were part of the Pharaoh's oppressive regime, O! You never knew that some Jews were with Hitler ... And yes, indeed, there were Jews for Hitler.

"Imagine Fourth Mainland bridge" - Bola Tinubu (2003)
"Back in 2003 when Ex-Governor Bola Tinubu was campaigning for re-election, one of his major campaign promises was that if re-elected he will build the 4th Mainland Bridge ..." https://nairametrics.com/2011/03/03/what-happened-to-the-4th-mainland-bridge/

The second campaign slogan was centered on the Lekki International Airport. The Lekki Airport project was projected to cost US$ 450 million in its first phase, planned to be situated 10 km from Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), and was originally proposed to open in 2012. Today, they are still telling us the same story, presenting powerpoints and models to the Nigerian journalists

By 2023, Tinubu and APC will still be campaigning with the airport project ... just watch out. Then, my question is if almost 20 years later, Tinubu and his minions are still campaigning with the same projects they promised in 2003. Why should we trust this man or what he says?

For the record, how many months did it take Anambra to build their airport again? 15 months!

The one LASG started in Lekki since the days of Tinubu is now a forest reserve.

Tinubu is going no where. Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi (2023 - 2027). Then power returns to SE in 2027. This is the SQUID GAME PDP is playing with all the consensus thing. To use Atiku wrestle power from APC and then ... Peter Obi can face anyone APC presents in 2027

ENIGMATIC2023:
Another Fulani herdsman cannot rule Nigeria after the monumental disaster of Buhari. Atiku should go and rest.

2023 presidential will be full of sentiments so we need a southern to become president in 2023 after Buhari.


APC will present Osibanjo/Zulum so let PDP present Obi/Kwankwanso in 2023.


What do you think guys?

Not yet, Atiku/Obi 2023, with Atiku ruling for ONE TERM (2023 - 2027). This is the real DEAL. Thereafter, Obi and Osinbajo can go to war for a Southern President.

Heidi Klum (a model) wore the bra on the runway in 2001 to showcase the bra to the public, designers give clothes to models to promote their lines, just like our fashion houses gives clothes to stars to wear so as to promote their labels. Heidi Klum like any other model is paid for her job of promoting labels, she is not the owner of that bra, (though she could be given a complmentary piece) she's just marketing it and there's nowhere it is stated that the piece she wore is the only one made so where did you bring that from? Why will a super model be paid an hefty sum to showcase the bra if only one was made? What does Victoria Secret stand to benefit from such an act? Does it make sense to you? You have a right to defend her but don't mislead the public with such a no fact"fact check".

Stop being a political jobber and APC lieing tool. There was ONLY ONE Heavenly Star bra made in 2001. Did Deziane buy that bra in 2001 or in 2010? See link and tell me of another one made sir!

Urbanchampion:
OP, you're a thief and very dubious criminal, just like the lady you're sweating to defend.
We are not having the best of time under Buhari's administration, however that hasn't made us forget the years of PDP. It's so disaapointing for you to put up that trash on Nairaland.

villagechampion - go and read

There have been stories about Mrs. Dezianni's $12.5m bra amongs other very expensive items being auctioned by FG. I am one of the curious Nigerians looking out for the site where the bra and other items would be put up on sale. Apparently, the Federal Government has not helped to provide the site or auctioneer's address because I am interested as the items would definitely be collector's choice items. My curiosity has however pushed me to question a few things that do not seem right. My curiosity, therefore, led me to fact-check this bra in particular and when they were made, by who and how Dezuane got to be a proud owner. Now, this is what I found out:

"The world's most expensive bra is the $12.5-million (£8.5-million) Heavenly Star Bra, by Victoria's Secret, created in 2001. It features 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires and as its centerpiece, a 90-carat emerald cut diamond that was worth $10.6 million (£7.28 million) alone at the time. The 2005 Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra also had a $12.5-million selling price, though in comparative terms its value is less than that of the 2001 bra. Both bras were part of the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra line" https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-expensive-bra

So, from above, here are some important facts;
i. There was ONLY two of those bras made, namely, the Heavenly Star Bra in2001 and the Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra in 2005. Please, note those years.
ii. Both bras were made by Victoria's Secrets and each was worth $12.5m
iii. The particular one that is being paraded as having been acquired by Deziane is the 2001 bra. with the following description, "It features 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires and as its centerpiece, a 90-carat emerald cut diamond" You can see the picture attached, that it matches what Federal Government of Nigeria claimed they recovered from Deziane's home.
I went online to Victoria Secrets' webpage to see if the same bra is still available now on sale or still being made, it is no longer available, confirming that ONLY one was made. The same bra that has gone viral as Dezianne's bra was worn by Heidi Klum in 2002 and I am wondering if Dezianne bought it after. Please, keep reading ...

Now let us do a little study of Mrs Dezianne Alison Madueke herself. Who was Mrs Dezianne Alison before she became Nigeria's minister?

"Diezani Alison-Madueke was born on the 6th of December, 1960 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State into the family of Chief Frederick Abiye Agama. After completing her primary and secondary education in Nigeria, she secured admission to study Architecture in England but completed it at Howard University in the United States. Diezani Alison-Madueke returned to Nigeria on completing her bachelor's degree and joined Shell Petroleum Development Corporation. In 2002, after working with Shell for some years, she attended Cambridge Judge Business School for her MBA degree. After returning to Nigeria, she was appointed as an Executive Director in Shell, becoming the first woman ever to be appointed by Shell as an Executive Director in Nigeria. Diezani Alison-Madueke has held several significant positions in Nigeria and beyond. In July 2007, she was appointed Transportation Minister and a year later, she became the Minister of Mines and Steel Development. ... In February 2010, Alison-Madueke was appointed Minister for Petroleum Resources.

Career Achievements
• Diezani Alison-Madueke was the first woman to be appointed as an Executive Director by Shell in Nigeria - April 2006.
• She was the first female Federal Minister of Transportation in Nigeria - July 2007.
• She was the first female Federal Minister of Mines and Steel Development - December 2008.
• She was the first female Federal Minister for Petroleum Resources - April 2010.
• She was the first woman to serve as the president of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) - November 2014 to December 2015."

Now, the question that our lazy journalists, bloggers, news YouTubers, etc should have been asking are these?
i. When did Deziani acquire the most expensive bra? Was it in 2001 or 2007 when she became minister or 2010 when she became Petroleum minister?
ii. When did Victoria Secrets sell the Heavenly Star bra? Was it in the bra in the market for 9 years? That is from 2001 till 2010 when Dezianne bought it as petroleum minister?

Rather our journalists have become copy typists, who do no research but publish everything that Lie Muhammad and Femi Adesina dishes to them. No initiatives, no fact-finding, they just rush to the press and in the end, look stupid.

Conclusion: Just like all previous spurious allegations made by the Buhari-led APC government, Deziane never owned the Heavenly Star Bra. This is just another Buhari-government's propaganda, in the face of perceived threats by the PDP. You all know that anytime PDP is gaining ground, a FAT LIE about former officials of the PDP government will just arise. It is either Saraki is invited for questioning or Kwankwaso or Deziane loot, just any lie to distract gullible Nigerians. This government only thrives on falsehood, lies, and propaganda with NOTHING to show Nigerians as achievements after 6 and half years.
Everything said to have been recovered from Deziane's home, golden pen, 135 wedding gowns, etc, etc are all LIES. They were made up to deceive gullible Nigerians, to distract the populace from their failure. They were made to give Nigerians stories that will take their mind off their obvious failure and threatening insecurities all over Nigeria. With BBN gone, the youth have nothing else to occupy their minds, so they look for a distraction, here and there.

APC - Never Again!!!

Lamasta:
We know she is corrupt but all this money you people are calling anyhow is propaganda make una dey calm down na Imagine bra $10M

Please, can anyone show us the links where Dezianni's bras are sold currently? Just the link.

Or just share the brand name so we can compare prices.

I am sure govt will not compensate them for their ancestal land without structure or economic trees/crop. It is a common phenomenal in Nigeria

Buhari, noone wanted you in the first place. It was Jega and lilly-livered GEJ that foisted you on Nigerians. We are just waiting and counting down. For your info, you have only 18 months out of 96 months to be chased out of AsoRock. We will like to forget 2015-2023 in Nigeria history books thereafter.
NEVER AGAIN!!!

Bluntguy:
PDP and APC are huge disappointments. Simple.

You are comparing PDP (LIGHT) and APC (DARKNESS)? Are you a divinely made sufferhead? How can you compare the disaster that turned Nigeria to a pariah state and world #3 failed state after the likes of Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia to PDP that took Nigeria to the group of rapidly developing countries code-named "BRINKS" (Brazil, Russia,India, Nigeria, Korea and South Africa) states. Today, we are rubbing shoulders with war-torn Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan, all courtesy of Buhari and APC misrule..

PDP - 2023 to 2063 or until Nigeria disintegrate. In this convention on remaking PDP,
... 40 uninterrupted years loading. All APC Zombies go wail, die, handover to their children to continue wailing and gnashing their teeth, there will be no respite for them.

What about the battalions they deployed at launch of Operation golden dawn? It looks like IPOB have decimated those, hence a new deployment. Truth is that Nigerian army is already overwhelmed. No general wins a war facing attacks from 4 fronts and not get weary. You have Iswap in NE, Bandit terrorists in NW, Niger-Delta militants in the creeks and IPOB, Each of these operations demand men. Unfortunately, Nigeria army is already depleted. Most of the fighting forces are not even trained properly and they are also ill-equiped, no motivation, just butt and gun, sometimes with limited ammunition. IPOB is not fighting a conventional war, guerillar warefare is dangerous to the military, as you do not know who your enemies are.

For some of us outside Nigeria, it will just help us renew our passports and pay for COVID test since most credit cards do not support payments to anything from Nigeria. That is how bad they perceive Nigeria and Nigerians world over.
