At this point don’t blame anyone that calls out the Govt. If they can’t locate those kids for this long, there is a big problem. Think about this, little kids who didn’t ask for this are going through this ordeal, because they were born in a country that county guarantee their safety. Everyone is worried. The Govt is not even updating the citizens as it is been done elsewhere, where local sherrifs, FBI, the police and the presidency give update on the status of the progress. They are silent, let the citizens know what is going on, that is how it is done.

You raised a different issue. The abductees have been located. The park has been surrounded by the security agencies such that the abductors can't escape. Final operation is difficult because of the lives of the abductees. I guess that the security agencies are taking final decisions. The government has totally refused to give in to the abductors demands.

Something must be wrong with this Obi. Tinubu has deployed the security agencies to do the job of rescuing the abductees. Between Makinde and Tinubu who is supposed to call who? He didn't make an issue of the fact that Makinde didn't call Tinubu but Tinubu not calling Makinde is an issue to him.

I think that Obi's brand of opposition is senseless opposition. Let him keep moving from place to place and keep making noise rather than get down to grassroots and prepare for election. When the results come out and he fails woefully he will start crying rigging. Elections are not won through social media noise making.

What was holding them back from paying all these years? They are obviously paying because of the coming elections

Pension that has not been paid from OBJ days. A government remembered them and you are saying that it's because of election. Who do you people this thing?

Hezmatosky210:
Na this kin thing dey sweet pastors it will look as if it's their prayer efforts
But go and meet them for house rent or just small money to support your family or to even eat, they'll post you till thy kingdom comes

What have you given to your pastor? Nothing

What is the level of your dedication in the church? Zero

What is the level of your financial support to the church? Zero

Yours is to come to church to collect. People like you don't want salvation. Don't want prayer. Just keep expecting material things from church. When you are not getting, you disappeared and reappear in another church.l

I'll rather believe IMF than believe anything that comes out from this fraud infested govt.

Did you understand the technical meaning of what IMF wrote?

Racoon:
The more worst form of governance have been entrenched by Tinubu. He has elevated incompetency, ineptitude and corruption to levels unimaginable.

When IMF issues a positive statement about Tinubu's government Obi will claim that it's not real.

When the same IMF issues a negative statement Obi will latch on it and wail.

Empty Obi calling Tinubu incompetent is laughable. Did he even understand what IMF wrote? A man that I have never heard once speak sound technical language is calling someone that he can't measure to incompetent.

Anyway it looks like Obi's brand of opposition is ministry of condemnation.

Tooreda:
These charlatans ruling the nation portrayed Jonathan a weak president yet Nigerians were never treated disdainfully by any other African country.

Stop conducting illegal acts in foreign lands. It dents the image of your country. If India starts today to do this to our citizens then you begin to call Tinubu. Don't stay illegally in foreign country it's not safe.

mrvitalis:
Can you tell me how any of those roads would generate revenue to repay its loan

Can you ?

Hence you are the one interested, tell us with quantitative evidence how those roads will be economic waste to the country. I'm waiting.

mrvitalis:
Every single person that supports APC even me when I used to lack basic understanding of economics particularly in a capitalist economy

They don’t know how job creation works
Don’t know the viability of projects
Don’t know the impact of loans
Don’t know devaluation
Don’t know reference point when gdp is measured


They just want legacy projects , is it viable they don’t care
How is the funding done they don’t care

I call it the “awolowo syndrome “ or “cocoa house effect “
Awolowo was the first to do it
Cocoa house is the poster child


Beautiful fancy and feel good project to be proud of but has absolutely no viability

This is 2026 you and you are building a lithium plant without any demand for lithium locally first ?

Is the plant lithium competitive ? Can you be profitable if you sale at the global price ?

If it fails now we would say we lack maintenance culture

But I hope and wish this is not a government project sha

You don't even have the facts but you present yourself as all knowing. The private entity that invested this much are empty and love to waste their money eeh?

Racoon:
Chai! The taxation slavemasters are here with their voodoo neck-constricting economic policies again even with the many evil taxation policies of the current govt.

This simply means that the economically clueless & rudderless govt with impulsive urge to borrow for any economic challenge can continue to borrow to meet revenue target.

Meanwhile a staggering amount of the generated revenues are being used to service debts. Not debt payment.

If your revenue is low you can't form capital and if you can't form capital you can't grow. If you stop growing you might even lack the ability to service your old debt. Your economy will start heading south.

Racoon:
What remains now is to goad the govt to start taxing people to breath air, eat good food or even live in any way possible. Wicked souls!

You can't closed your funding gap and by extension reduce borrowing without increasing your revenue. This is fundamental finance.

christejames:
The People's President, we are with you to fight this vipers holding this country down

Kwankwaso his running mate was former governor of Kano. His NNPP was in charge of Kano until recently. Obi should ask the questions to his running mate. Is he saying that his running mate lack capacity? Or has no track record?

Blunt99:
Ona sabi glaze nonsense sha! Damn! 😫

Human development index is at its lowest.

Security is nothing to write about.

Shey na dead body and person wey never chop go dey use ona High way!?

I am starting to believe that there is curse on this country and it's populace

The death of functional infrastructure is part of the reasons that you have low human development index. This has been neglected for decades and they were giving you subsidized life which is temporal.

DuttyChuks:
Is obi your president? You have atiku as opposition but you people attack obi the most .. Una eyes go clear soon

Because Obi is the one that condemns everything and makes the most noise whether useful or not.

mrvitalis:
All 4 funded with borrowed money

All 4 can’t generate revenue to pay back its loan

All 4 would make naira weaker and Nigerians poorer

All for feel good projects

This national linkage of roads are for feel good? You can't be serious.

Kukutente23:
Ooh-ooh
Seems Fashola wants to be labelled the latest betrayer in town
It's either he didn't get the memo, read the script wrong or simply chose to go rogue!!
Is he trying to take credit for anything in Lagos from the Jagabandit now or what
After the bubble of claiming the land was given to the refinery for free was busted by Dangote himself, Fashola is now pouring more cold water on the hearts of zombies by claiming that Tinubu really had nothing to do with the siting of the refinery in Lekki but that it was simply a state execute council's decision led by him?
Fashola be careful oo. Na express you dey go o
Zone Bees will soon give you what you're looking for

There wouldn't have been LFTZ without Tinubu stopping the Lagoon from overflowing. The entire Ahamadu Bello Way, Oluwole Street where you have the state liaison offices and several were in danger then.

Magnetic010:
Impact is felt not explained!
When the prices of fuel and cooking gas went up Nigerias didn’t need anyone to explain it to them they felt the impact—- if your government is working, you won’t need images or graphics do illustrate to Nigerians that you are working. People will feel the change in their day to day lives.

Where are your governors getting the money to provide infrastructure and pay salaries regularly that they couldn't do before? This is just one of........

AMINDA:
The NYSC is not a skill acquisition scheme. It's a call to service to enhance cultural integration, boost patriotism to the nation and foster unity in a diverse country that is the entity called Nigeria. It has been largely successful as many young Nigerians only get to leave their region during the scheme and develop a better appreciation for other cultures while purging themselves of long held stereotype. The affiliation with the military also ensures it remains detribalised as the military is one of the few remaining institutions in the country that is yet to be sectionalised. Again, the NYSC scheme is not broken. There's no need to drastically fix it and change it from its set objectives.

“It’s Adire... Let’s put our money back into the country.”

The Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, confirms that the NYSC traditional khaki uniform will be replaced with Adire fabric as part of the new reforms.#CTVMorningBrief pic.twitter.com/4Za3Z91HuN

The original objective has been broken.

Back then corpers were compulsorily posted to states and tribes outside their own. Today majority resist it. How many from the south accept to be posted to the north and how many from the north that accepts to be posted to the south? They were posted to communities that lack manpower and to locations where their training are useful for the good of the country. The postings were not by choice. Today majority lobby to be posted to cities and states with job prospects. Some that are doing it to fulfill legal requirement bribe to be posted to their father's or uncle's company.

If the original vision that worked then is not working now why continue it? Why not review?

AMINDA:
He has folded already but he had to do so in a most dishonourable way. What's the point in denying he never said that when the video is publicly available for everyone to watch? The whole NYSC reform thing is unnecessary. Why fix what's not broken? This is just another misadventure like the change of national anthem.

He didn't say that he didn't mention adire. He tried here to explain the context and not that it's the chosen uniform.

NYSC is over due for reform. A scheme and philosophy that was created 53 years ago by the military with the post civil effects in mind definitely needs reform in the digital and entrepreneur driven society. Most graduates attend it because of the allawee and to fulfill the law. Remove these two and make it optional and you discover that the majority will not be interested.

Ofunaofu:
Truly the journey to unseat these con men, scammers, fraudsters and drug báróns in power has begun

The judiciary is not on trial. The judiciary hasn't been bought over by Tinubu. When the decision is otherwise then the language changes. How can we take your cries serious?

Tenses:
If your tinubu had performed, there won't be need to fight like a wounded lion in the first place.

The nay Sayers will still condemn. In Nigeria the best performance is no performance to haters.

AMINDA:
Buhari remains a better democrat than Tinubu will ever be.

Buhari was never a politician and democrat. That's why he couldn't win election until politicians helped him. See how the national Assembly headed by his party messed him up. Where has it ever happened? OBJ changed Senate presidents at will. Trump's party in Senate is holding his forth for him.

Buhari wouldn't have had the capacity to manage the present large APC. There were always crisis with their chairmanship position under him but under Tinubu it has been smooth transition.

b0rn2fuck:
everything will be reversed back once someone sensible get sworn in

Who is sensible? A scheme that was conceived 53 years ago under the military with military bias should follow the same pattern even when the conditions have changed? No modernisation?

FYI most people today undertake NYSC for the allawee and to fulfill all righteousness. It adds nothing to anyone.

prinsam30:
That dirty man has helped a lot of people including Ur dirty tribe, how many av U helped in Ur entire existence

Helping them by using them to make money? You don't know me. FYI I'm a public figure quietly touching lives without making noise. I don't appear dirty like this one that you are praising.

This dirty man that earns a living by making noise on social media and call it activism. He just wants to use Adeboye's name to trend and earn money. Unfortunately for him Adeboye doesn't need his validation. He's not looking for his vote nor money. Rant the much you can and it changes nothing in his life.

malali:

Since you asked, I’ll answer you clearly… YES, there is a difference.On an issue that affects every Nigerian directly or indirectly, it is only basic courtesy for the President to address the nation himself.He is the Commander-in-Chief. Yet he continues to be lackadaisical on critical national matters , hiding his head in the sand like an ostrich while things deteriorate.

Those making excuses for him are digging his grave. Insecurity, inflation, insane fuel prices, unemployment, and power collapse are all cooking together. When citizens who have been pushed to the wall finally come for his resignation, even before the next election, it will be too late to pacify anyone.Don’t underestimate desperate people.

What you wrote shows morbid hatred and nothing more. We are talking about fuel prices and you have vared into everything. It's not all presidents that appear on social everyday like Trump. Achievers talk less and work silently.

cr7lomo:
And some people here were saying FG cant do anything about dangote fuel price...Nigerians are indeed finished...the smart ones no pass 5%

I'm a Nigerian and I'm not finished. Maybe you are. Trump didn't order price reduction because the market is deregulated. He simply said what Nigerian government has said. Trump can't enforce price change by fiat and so in Nigeria. This is what deregulation mean.

malali:
Trump, who isn’t even contesting for re-election, personally came out on Truth Social to direct fuel retailers to slash pump prices immediately, warning them against gouging. He didn’t hide behind his Energy Secretary.

Yet here in Nigeria, the same man who doubles as Minister of Petroleum, and is busy eyeing re-election, has not uttered a single word as marketers exploit Nigerians despite crashing crude prices.

This is the same president whose only real energy is reserved for collecting foreign loans and spending them.

Insecurity killing people daily? Silence.

Inflation choking families? Silence.

No power, no jobs? Silence.

But petrol prices? Not a single official statement from his office.This lackadaisical, tone-deaf leadership is unacceptable. Tinubu should address Nigerians directly on this matter, not through proxies.

So the minister of state oil's statement is not from the government. USA doesn't regulate prices and Nigeria doesn't either. Is their any difference between an official of government making announcement after FEC meeting and the president making the same announcement. Fortunately hatred kills the hater and doesn't kill the hated.

Sheuns:
When there’s a pattern, it’s never coincidence.

All parties can’t suddenly start having internal issues.

Is this an internal issue? This is a fundamental issue. It bothers on registration. You took a logo that materially resemble that of a party that applied for registration before you. INEC advised you to change it. Rather than do so you decided to take INEC to court. Court ordered INEC to register you and INEC did. Another interested party went to the same court to say that the decision was made without considering them and the court reversed itself.

FatimaAbubakar:
Month end hustling for 30k stipend.

The one that you typed above isn't month end hustling for 2k stipend?

Macphenson:
Theres a reason why Mr. president post poned his trip the day Obi decamped to NDC. It's not just a coincidence. We are expecting more.

You have 36 governors with over 80% of the National Assembly members yet you are afraid of a free fair and credible elections.
So much for NADECO members.

Is Oseni a member of every party that Obi registers with or a journalist? Did NDC get their registration through the court order or not? Most cases involving political parties in Nigeria are usually dragged to the supreme Court. What makes this one different? NDC was asked to change their logo because it bears similarity to the logo of a party that had already submitted application for registration. Rather than do that they went to court.

Rufai's Obi didn't see the pitfall that the order of the court can be overturned hence the party wasn't directly registered by INEC. Rufai couldn't spot this early and advise his friend. The only sing song that they know for their negligence is to point fingers at government.
