Sowore is a puppet.
See how he went silent after the fake hype for NMK

He has just been granted bail by a high court. Lagos state police command has declared him wanted.

LagosOrigin:
Back and forth government

Government of confusion and cluelessness

After grabbing power by force, they do not know what to do with it .

Keep quiet you don't know law. You don't know economics. You don't know finance. This CBN is one of the best that we have had for a long time. If you were or had listened to CIBN dinner and awards night you would have heard experts speak about the achievements of this CBN.

Policy somersaults. The hallmark of the Nigerian Central Bank

What is policy somersaults? Adjusting your policies to be in line with changing realities? Is this not sign of good management practice?

zinaunreal:
Worry about your underdeveloped state

My underdeveloped state is in the region that beats chest all the time. Do you think that there are no people here that is against our character?

zinaunreal:
Enemies of progress at work. Nigerians hate development and this is core proof. Baba wan use funds to develop his people and haters on his neck. No be by force to share funds . Abia state will be the best and most developed state in Nigeria in less than 8 years

We have started. Chest beating and always too loud. This little effort by Oti has turned to Abia becoming the most developed state in Nigeria in less than 8 years. Meanwhile abia's proposed 2026 budget is just a quarter of the budget of a particular state which I will not mention. Let us be a little modest.

mohbadliveson:
Tinibu is overwhelmed. Dishing out advice to Buhari and GEJ. Now he is in charge but he can't do the things he was advocating

I don't agree. Tinubu right from day one focused on economy. Ask any apolitical person that is knowledgeable in economics and the person will tell you that Nigerian economy was in ICU when Tinubu took over. So much effort was needed to steady and turn things around.

I listen from beginning to the end during annual bankers conference and read from people that have no interest in politics but are core professionals, the general opinion is that;

Nigeria economy has stabilized
External shocks are minimized because oil now contributes very low to our GDP. Because of what was done the Trump tariff madness that is shaking the world economy has not affected Nigeria.
The economy has been positioned for growth that is sustainable. It's actually going to operate like a modern economy.
The turning point year is 2026.

Tinubu didn't give the same attention to security which is actually the foundation for growth. He equally inherited challenges in this sector that look intractable.

Haters and opposition having now seen that using price of rice and exchange rate to attack Tinubu will not work again because the dividends of his regime on the economy is beginning to show, they have shifted to security.

But trust Tinubu. All his focus now is on security. He will bring his usual attitude to it. Definitely he will get it right. Just watch.

Brendaniel:
Looks like Trump is looking for a regime change, exactly what is really needed right now in Nigeria, for those who are talking about U.S coming to take oil from Venezuela, I'm not ruling that out, but I don't think that's the interest here, ask yourself a country with the largest oil reserves in the world is so poor and also if the oil was so profitable for them, why are the youths more into drug sales than oil?

Here it is:

1. The sulfur content in Venezuelan oil is one of the highest in the world making it harder and more costly to refine, so it is not attractive for buyers in the world like the Nigerian crude oil and some others, you see why it may not really make sense for the U.S to invade them for something that is not rushed after like others.

2. If a government is seen to be complicit in support of terror or drugs that is affecting the U.S directly then that could be another point, I saw some people mentioning Mexico in the other thread, but Mexico has recently improved their crackdown on drug cartels, though a lot of work still needs to be done and also have been partnering with U.S to take down cartels, I don't think it is the same with Venezuelan government.

3. Cartels know that these drugs come with addiction to the users and there are cases where they lure people with samples for free and the addiction starts which causes them to start stealing and wrecking their lives for the supply.

My question to those seeking Maduro to stay in power, I mean what exactly is the benefit of him staying in power while the country keeps sinking and getting poorer, their inflation was so bad at some point, they stopped counting money in supermarkets, they just bring a scale and weigh your money and give you the item you purchase, price of goods were now sold by weight of the money and not the value.

I even watched a prison documentary and if you think Nigerian prison is bad then you need to visit Venezuela, the prisoners carry guns inside the prison, they have their own police, they have their president and even court, prisoners sentence prisoners inside the prison, some prisoners don't want to leave the prison because it is safer for them due to cartel members looking for them to kill outside.

I notice a lot of people not supporting Trump are Tinubu supporters because they don't want same happening in Nigeria to Tinubu who is doing damage to Nigeria.

Let Trump come na. Worst case he removes Tinubu with his power. That will not change Tinubu's wealth or life. Then which person will Trump install and from which tribe? And you believe that Tinubu's tribe will keep quiet having known the hatred and circumstances that led to his removal? Can Trump manage the fall out that will develop through his actions? Meanwhile while Nigerian tribes are fighting themselves trump and his America will be busy pondering our wealth.

Irony1:
Let me give you one example my aunt retired from Abia state civil service as a director in the ministry of education in 2006. She is from Arondizuogu

Check very well she is married to an Abia man. Tru or false?

Irony1:
Oga cool down you know nothing about Lagos. Most of us stayed here from the 70s and saw how cosmpolitan Lagos was. Tinubu introduced a dangerous form of bigotry in Lagos politics, which is an us versus them thing. Appointing igbos as comissioners was just for optics. Oga they were not sacked by Abia state government in the 90s when the state was created make you slow down with the lies.

Show me one civil servant that is of Imo origin that is still in Abia state civil service now. I work in Aba and I have first hand information.

I have been in Lagos since 70s and I still live in Lagos now. I have first hand knowledge and clear evidence. Everything should not be victim mentality.

sonnie10:
Even a fool knows that. In Nigeria once you spew trash against Igbos, you are patriotic and well deserving of the highest honors in the land

When Reno busy saying all manner of things against Bubu he was your man abi? Na he's your hater.

insidelife22:
Igbo's won't forget

#igboswontforget

Everything must attract victim mentality. Are you the only tribe? Please don't forget. Wait till when they come to your place or when you win an election. Unfortunately Kanu has destroyed every chance of your winning till the next twenty years.

potent5:
Reno will still reap what he has sown. He cannot hate the Igbos and go scotfree. The God of the Igbos will pay him his dues. Very soon.

The appointment is the prerogative of the president. Full stop.

franchasofficia:
History will forever remember Bola Tinubu as the man that institutionalized Igbo hate from Lagos state to the federal level.


I hope his people are taking note, not tomorrow they try to twist history, all we want is for Yorubas to be proud and bold enough not to deny their bigotry against Igbos today, they should own it with their full chest today and in the future, that's all, time will tell.


I know that to majority of Yorubas, Igbos cannot do anything, they should do their worst. To them, all is perfect with the Yorubas and Igbos cannot do Yoruba anything till the world ends.



But just to remind you all, that pay back for Tinubu's unjust institutional bigotry and bias against Igbos using state institutions and collective federal authority will definitely come but don't expect the pay back to come from the Igbos, nobody can tell how the pay back will come, but it will definitely boomerang cos nature abhors injustice of this manner, bookmark this page today.

PBAT hates Igbos from Lagos to Abuja. Are you kidding me? I have leaved in Lagos from age 15 up till now. Under Tinubu as governor, there were Igbos as commissioners. There were Igbos as teachers and some as head teachers. Those of them that retired are enjoying their pension. I have a relation. The free education of the government was enjoyed by igbo children. Free waec fees and books were given.

Compare the above and Abia. When it was created out of old Imo state some civil servants of Imo origin were transferred to Abia. All none indigens that were transferred were sacked by Abia state government.

Oya go ahead and call me any name that you like because I said the truth.

keymatt:
Eg Reno and the hungry man.
Tinubu's ambassadorial list is a graphic representation of how corrupt wayward his regime is. Govt of the corrupt, propagandist and soulless wicked people.
What a disgraced govt

Who is an ambassador? The chief PR officer of a government and country in another country. If you are a president would you have preferred sending someone like Reno that has stoutly defended PBAT's government and Nigeria or a Nnamdi Kanu and Obi that totally hates this government and Nigeria?

givedemwotowoto:
Yes we'll keep calling him till he's disgraced out of that office and the country can start healing and rebuilding from the 12 years the useless gang robbed Nigerians of.

No amount of stupid gaslighting can make this go away. What is bad is bad, don't try to sugarcoat it. We know who Agbadorians are now. The people who praised Buhari for 8 years as the best, then condemned him as the worst soon after he left office. When they are in power, they tell you to call your state governor, when they are in power, they start blaming FG like they did GEJ.

Because of Agbadorians, we no longer have a path to credible elections. The hardwork and progress over the years to get to credible elections started by Yar'Adua and continued by GEJ, collapsed back to the OBJ era. We moved 20 years backwards, even far worse.

Because of Agbadorians, insecurity is no longer something the people have confidence in the police to handle, it's now a national crisis. We didn't have terr**sts parading round the country unchecked, we didn't have mass kidnappings for ransom.

Just imagine how a human being is comparing insecurity back in the day to today's national crisis with terr***sts making tiktok videos and even governors have open negotiations for peace.

When BH struck, OBJ fought back, so did Yar'Adua, so did GEJ. This man is under siege just because of elections, the danger of having someone rule with fewer supporters than those who oppose him.

Gaslighting and trying to whitewash reality won't work.

Tueh!

I'm not whatever you think. I just stated facts. You read and see what you are saying because with free 50 MB anyone can take any picture, write anything and post. If it was the days that I stated the only sources of news are radio, TV and print media. Most of the electronic media were owned by government and they are highly censored. How many people buy and read print media?

fineboynl:
He failed to put the fundamental thing thats causing rhis influence. A generation that saw their economy been destroyed before their own eyes. A generation that saw unprecedented inflation rocking standard of living and their education no longer guaranteed. A generation where their voices cannot be heard and election rigging out of their own will. A generation that saw old men ruining their future and destinies in perpetual poverty. A generation that crossed the jungles, desert and Mediterranean sea on foot to Europe in 21st century. A generation that saw the corrupted elite misappropriating funds. Running expensive government. Mind you all the infrastructure still standing today where bult be the military. Federal road, stadium,hospitals, although they failed in rainway but watching Nigeria videos in the 70s to 90s you will see that Nigeria was more better. Street more cleaner, hospitals more clean and orderly.Schools more clean and maintain. Everything destroyed in the last 30 years or so.

Have you ever queued to buy rationed essentials because of scarcity? We have under the same military that you praising.

Yankee101:
The problem in Nigeria is the amount is stealing going in in civilian administration is so shameful and the military administrations in Nigeria created so much

The states where created by the military
Third mainland bridge
Abuja the new capital
The conference center Abuja which Wike refurbished and named after Tinubu was built by Babangida
We didn’t have long lasting insecurity like this


The bottom line is insecurity
Without security it’s difficult to pursue development
So the bedrock most be fixed if not people will keep supporting the military

Yes politicians are very corrupt but the military are the worst. During their time money was flowing. The foundation that would have avoided the challenges of today would have be laid then. They can do anything. No one checks them. They prepare their budget, approve and execute all alone. You heard about Abacha because he is late. The other ones living did more than Abacha but no one can talk because they are alive. Where is Gloria Okon?

The over centralization of every thing came through the military. The corruption in the military today came through their time. The flawed constitution that we are using now was given to us by them. The spirit of competition among the regions in the first Republic was destroyed by them. We can go on and on.

Odiriance4all:
Gen Z has never really experienced the full benefits of good democracy. If the government wants young people to stop hailing or clamouring for the military, then it must prove through its actions that democracy can actually work, deliver results, and improve their lives.”[b][/b]

Government or politicians because responsibility runs from president to counselor.

Emeskhalifa:
Abeg enough of all this fear you people are inciting. What could be worse than what Nigerians are currently going through? No one anywhere is praying for Military takeover but the rot of the politicians with reckless abandon is going unchecked, while the masses are always at the receiving end, reason why you see people calling for military takeover

Even Abacha's regime was not as terrible as it is now so make we hear word abeg

You don't know what you are talking about. Under Abacha there wouldn't have been nairaland. You could be picked up for this simple thing you wrote here. Where is Dele Giwa? Ask Ray Ekpu. That arise TV guy would have been wasted.

franchasofficia:
Accept US President offer to help Nigeria with military action, NO!


You know Nigerian military is compromised already, oya hire foreign mercenaries to help you curtail the spiraling insecurity, NO!

Sign the Forest Guard act into law and fund states to immediately recruit and deploy Forest Guards who must be indigenes of the LGA they will be operating, NO!


Sign State Police into law to see if it can help curtail the cross-boundary banditry and Fulani terrorism? NO!


Oya give the Nigerian military and security a deadline to flush out the terrorists, bandits and kidnappers so Nigeria can have peace again or face some serious consequences? NO!


Step down and allow someone bolder and courageous to do the job? NO! Instead you are planning for 2027 reelection when the people you are governing are not even sure of being alive till 2027.


What do we call this attitude if not witchcraft?

Na wa oh

When I read where you wrote sign state police act into law..... Then I knew that most of the people that come here to talk chochocho are not too informed. State police is a constitutional issue that requires constitutional amendment. Only the parliament can do this. The process is rigorous which I don't have to spend time here to explain to you.

kaltonga:
Wow so ObJ has now joined IPOB or is he now an Igbo man for speaking the truth cos for this country it seems na only Igbo dey talk true now

Apart from insecurity issues OBJ has never liked this regime. It will be his greatest joy if the regime fail. He doesn't hide it. He has never said one thing positive about this regime.

givedemwotowoto:
Tinubu government’s failure is unprecedented, never seen at this level before in Nigeria’s history

Keep calling only the man at the center. The state governor that invited OBJ has a constitutional duty to protect his state. He will not play his own part but standby and await Abuja. What is he using his security vote for? Lagos state is safe today because the government spends a fortune on security. They spend heavily to equip the police in the state. There are various paramilitary organizations in the state. What are other governors doing?

Insecurity and kidnapping didn't start today. The only dimension is the abduction of school children. There was a time when Abia especially Aba was no go area. The same happened in onitsha. Broad daylight armed robbery was the order of the day. Banks were robbed during day time. Some banks shut some of their branches permanently. Anytime from 7 pm it was dangerous to be outside. OBJ was the president but nobody was calling him. The kidnapping that time was targeted at the well-to-do and their families. Today if they kidnap or kill anybody even in villages then they will call the man in Abuja.

Ask those people in the countries we hail. We want to live like them but we don't want to work like them.

I will soon ban myself of nairaland and Facebook. They are affecting my productivity.

onuman:
Ridiculous ban. Worse, it affects only workers from Level 14 and below.

Nothing wrong. Every organization has right to set their rules. This is what they do in the countries we call sane clime. When you come to work face your work.

Biafrannuke:
You guys "hid" him in Sokoto from circulation; you guys still talk about him out of fear.

Nobody is talking about him out of fear. They are debunking the usual propaganda on which Kanu and IPOB built their movement. Just brainwash people and let them behave like people that their senses have been harvested.

Remember cloning of Buhari and Yusuf Al Sudani ruling Nigeria.

givedemwotowoto:
Whenever you hear about a crime in the UK and the criminal is known, they are is arrested. The people who killed Deborah are still walking free. Agbadorians are a disgrace with their warped reasoning

Now that we know that Kanu committed so much crime against us easterners why do you want us to allow him go free?

Throwback:
President Tinubu is too cool with those that should have long been incarcerated.

Imagine the lawlessness from Yussuf Datti-Ahmed?



They allowed this loser to bite to the point where he felt anything goes.

He should be criminally charged to court.

Any civilian government that allows politicians to incite anarchy and invite military dictatorship, should blame itself when the military seize the opportunity to strike.

If I was President, this Datti-Ahmed will never taste freedom again until he is criminally convicted for treason.

He wouldn't try this under OBJ.

givedemwotowoto:
Bandits, Gumi, and ter**st sympathizers are online daily making inciting comments that could lead to violence in Nigeria. Who has invited them for questioning?

This has always been you guys sing song. A person commits crime and the government arrests the next question will be why him alone why not others.

Why didn't you ask Britain why Ekweremadu and his wife alone why not others?

What is the purpose of bringing this up here? Is like the selling news now is terrorism stories.

miracle002:
Hahaha. What you didn't know is that you just Prophesied. This administration will last for four years

And so what? We are talking about you and my security and you are busy talking about administration. What the situation calls for is not politics but unity to defeat the common enemy. This whole thing started under Jonathan and he couldn't solve it. It increased under Buhari and he couldn't solve it. It's now Tinubu and it's increasing. What is your guarantee that if another person comes in without unity then it will be solved? Did it remove the fact that Jonathan and Buhari were presidents? After four years will it remove the fact that Tinubu ruled this country?
