While petrol price is decreasing, transport fare is increasing

Economics doesn't work in Nigeria

You would still turn round to blame Tinubu.

LibertyRep:
This script is too obvious.

Chase the competitors out with the price war, take control of the entire structure and thereafter become a monopolistic thing god.

The government and the relevant regulatory agencies should do their duties and enforce fair play.

In all, may Nigerians be favoured.

Should he allow matketers to bring imported pms dump in the country at high price?

HacheNoire:
Dumping any engine oil inside the engine!

They will buy anything that KAZEEM recommends, and to top it up, they just buy from any where without concern. Some think they buying Mobil 1 but don’t even know they are buying oil blended in Aba.

Another one is using water for coolant 🤣🤣🤣

Water for coolant? Coolants come in small containers and expensive. The cost will be heavy if you use only coolant because of the volume that will fill the radiator. I usually use water and add one or two cans of coolant.

Lovelydaisies:
Okay. How many have you paid NECO fees for?

Many. We buy dresses, food items, drugs and other needs. There are some on NOUN full sponsorship. Many have been converted to Christ. It's part of our normal CSR. No big deal

AMINDA:
The supreme Court ruled on local government autonomy 2 years ago, Tinubu is selectively applying the ruling in only Osun state because Adeleke refused to bend the knee. That isn't restructuring.

Adeleke refused to bend the knee that's why it's being applied in Osun state. Other governors including those in opposition parties agreed to bend the knee that's why it wasn't applied against them? The same Adeleke that begged to join APC and was rejected and he decamped from PDP to accord of all parties?

Lovelydaisies:
Paying for their NECO, giving them words of encouragement... These are the real acts of a renewed hope.
Thank you, the man my husband and I voted. Thank you and may God bless you always.

No big deal. My church has a prisons department. They go round parishes soliciting for fund to buy things and support the inmates. They do this regularly. No noise. No pictures. Obi is really a boy. Too much publicity conscious and talks chochocho

AMINDA:
You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Forgery is all he knows.

Why is it that assembly members objecting are from a particular section of the country?

What are the versions passed by the legislature and the version gazetted by the executive.

If the house has set up a committee to investigate the complaints why further noise?

You are asking for restructuring and this is one step taken and you are here insulting. If he refuses to restructure you will again insult.

I want to ask you one question: will the tax law be used by PBAT's regime alone and jettisoned at the end of his regime. The same law will be used by your Lord and personal saviour if and when he becomes president. He will enjoy the benefit of what he is condemning today.

You should think critically and talk sensibly.

billyG:
Only senator Eyinaya Abaribe is d only man of integrity standing.

Leave that one? He knows that he can't be welcome in APC. He ran away from PDP to labour party. When LP scatter where will he run to? Enyinaya Abaribe...... forever in senate without results.

njokuuche77:
This is one of the most intelligent governors Nigeria has today. Leadership is not about silence or indifference but courage, dialogue, and responsibility. Governor Otti has shown maturity by choosing engagement over neglect, peace over posturing, and humanity over politics.
I wish he wont retire from Politics because his type don dey finish for Nigeria.

Why didn't he dialogue and engage before now? If he did, did he counsel his son? What his son did didn't show that he embraced dialogue, negotiation and engagement.

His visit will only produce results if he counsels his son to first be remorseful. Then openly confess. Next he should apologize first to the south east that he harmed, late president Buhari, PBAT, entire judiciary, specifically justice Omotosho and the entire nation Nigeria.

He must make an irrevocable promise never to trade on his old path.

If Oti's visit didn't achieve these then we would conclude that it was all politics.

greatiyk4u:
Prove to miscreant like ju?
Cry me a river

If being critical and logical in my thinking makes me a miscreant I will gladly love to be one.

But my teacher taught me that miscreants are very low in subjecting their thoughts and statements to logic and critical thinking. That's why they make irrational statements.

Bahamas95:
Who is this man? He's the most inactive VP in the history of Nigeria.


Even Remi Tinubu better pass am.

Shetima.... most inactive VP? You must be kidding 😂 🤣 me.

Skoonheid:
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, and he was not found anywhere.

Have people seen that the politics of using price of a bag of rice against PBAT is not working again? Rice dey everywhere and the price don come down.

The price of dollar, the price of dollar as a tool is not working again ooo. The exchange rate is stable.

The attack tool now is kidnapping and insecurity. This one too will come to pass. Just watch out.

greatiyk4u:
At least he wasn't known as a Berger before now

Proof that all his life he never was and proof that it was government policies that made him a begger. We will progress to ask about his profession. Mtchee

greatiyk4u:
Is that why Nigerians are facing obstacles under your regime? Are you paying us back with international evil?



Tinubu does not mean well at all

My only joy is that the hardship is not selective nor gender based.


Imagine a man with family of three telling me yesterday in tears that he's moving into this festive period with just 3K in his account

Did the man tell you how much he usually had in the previous festive periods? Maybe minimum of 1million. Mtchee

reddingtonblack:
?

Not as if i cant answer you , But of what relevance is that Question here

if Senate under OBJ were rubber stamps we for get 3rd term by now

They were highly cooperative. Third term was stopped because of the face-off between Atiku and OBJ. Atiku in an attempt to get at his boss mobilized all forces against his boss's desire.

themanderon:
This has always been his message for the past almost 3 years now. I wonder what he will campaign with for the next elections.

If you have two cars and suddenly you loose your source of income:
1 Would you continue to deceive yourself by continually selling your properties to maintain the cars just to give the impression to your friends that all is well.

2 Would you humble yourself by selling off the cars so that you can have cash to set up a business?

3 Wouldn't there be pain to you as a former owner of two cars to settle for public bus and Keke?

4 Would you start the business and overnight you make enough money to buy car so that you stop trekking and jump of buses?

There is no serious president that will allow confrontational assembly leadership. How many times did OBJ change Senate leadership just to ensure that they cooperate with him?

Saraki wouldn't have finished his tenure under OBJ. He would have removed him. Buhari was absolutely docile.

reddingtonblack:
whatever he likes he can say, the truth remains unchanged

I dont know Akpabio always misconstrue checks and balances for " Fight" executive .. dont couples disagree, dont children nd parent disagree

So why does Akpabio feel being rubber stamp to executive is the only way for progress

How many times did OBJ change Senate leadership just ensure that they cooperate with him?

Orlandoo:
What an aberration! A charade intended to mock Nigerians. What we have now is the gathering of thieves parading as lawmakers. Nigeria never had it this bad. Saraki's led 8th assembly has written their names in gold as the only vibrant house of assembly Nigeria has had in the new dispensation. To describe Nigeria as a banana republic under Tinubu is an understatement.

Point out the achievements of Saraki led 8th assembly within the first two years and compare it with Akpabio led 10th assembly of two years and let's see.

Wealthyonos:
That's good news about a statesman.

Content creator. It's all acting. This format don expire. Please advise bingo.

AustineE1:
A golden fish have no hiding place in the water.

Rusticated cultist that you are calling gold fish. Maybe rusticated gold fish. Everyone is using him to catch cruise jare.

trutharena:
Only a Bishop can go and see Kanu and take pictures with him.

Where is Kanu in the picture shown to us?
How can the bishop pray with Kanu? Kanu claims that he's not a Christian. He practices Judaism.

malali:
Where was this energy when he was dealing with Emefiele ?

Emefiele built a 750-Unit estate in Abuja with stolen funds.

When Dangote was getting subsidized dollars from him.

Why didnt Dangote go to ICPC and report Emefiele ?

It was officially approved. That's why nnpc is a shareholder in Dangote refinery. Government approved it to improve the country's refining capacity.

kingbee90:
Na because of Peter Obi you dey foam for mouth like this?

Does saying the truth mean foaming for mouth?

kingbee90:
Instead of this APC-led Government to give employment to Nigerian youths or at least create an enabling environment where youths can be self-employed, they are engaging & employing more e-warriors like helinues, Jamo & this nitwit below my comment to defend their incompetence.

They need to be rejected.

Obi said that it's a leadership failure. Hence he has been part of the leadership then he is part of the failure. Each time Obi talks he forgets that he has been in political leadership for a long time. What is his score card? All these years that he has been in positions what policies did he put up to create employment?

All his talks are just like pointing fingers to others and never pointing any to himself. He paints the picture of everyone have failed and only him can do it. No problem. For every thing you condemn should us what you did better when you had the opportunity. This will help us assess what you will do if and when we give you the opportunity.

madridguy:
Is this a joke or what? Why not use the same energy to rescue Nigerians in the den of kidnappers.

People should be reasonable. This is the only country where some people rejoice because a government official fell sick.

The other time it was celebrated that Wole Edu was down with stroke and that he was on wheel chair. Meanwhile the was in an arts gallery in the UK.

Who cannot be sick and who will not die?

Kukutente23:
You're thinking like Igboho
You need to understand the basic tenets of democracy before you start gassing
Democracy is built in checks and balances, separation of powers and limitations
The essence of the constitution itself is to place limitations and boundaries
A situation where a court is handing over limitless powers to the executive is not envisaged in a democracy
Secondly, you need to understand what a federation means. The federating units are the constituents that make up the Federation. To imply that the head of the Federation can sack any of the constituent's governance is to imply that the federating units owe their existence to the Federation instead of the other way round. A bigger issue is that this summarily shows that the SC does not believe in its own judgement or gave last week where it claimed that states are independent of the Federal govt and the LGs are also independent of the states. It just established an hierarchy of subservience between the states and the Federal. Most importantly, the idea of state police is dead with this declaration.

Nigeria as presently constituted is a flawed federation.

I agree and I have said it that there is need for clear limitations but like any other law there's need for provision for necessity .

Is the doctrine of necessity expressly in any of our statues. The answer is no. But it saved us from major constitutional crisis in the past.

Think through this scenario:
A state governor having major issues with the legislature. Everything has been primed to impeached him. Finally he and his deputy were impeached. The speaker took over and was impeached. The state chief judge took over and the legislature totally refused to cooperate with him. No budget approval etc. Infact there was no governance of any type. So much constitutional crisis.

What would a president do knowing very well that the country is a federation? Whatever action the president eventually took would it have been better to be preemptive and take it earlier or wait till after so much crisis?

On a lighter note: avoid gutter language. It's a sign of indecency. Look at your earlier statement.

spencekat:
We hereby call on the National Assembly to urgently initiate constitutional and legislative safeguards that clearly define and limit the scope of emergency powers of the president, to prevent imminent abuse and preserve Nigeria’s federation


Supported!
These were exactly what I earlier said.

I have issues with the PDP but I support the tone of the release. While the judgment is useful but limitations and definitions must be clearly made as requested by the PDP. This is to avoid abuse in future. It's not about the one that passed but the future that we don't know.

Kukutente23:
Very shameful judgement written amidst mouthful of corn 🌽 and glasses of whiskey 🍷

You are talking like Kanu. Abusing the highest judges of the land. Read the PDP statement very well. It is very clear that their concern is mainly the possibility of exploitation. They didn't abuse the judges but stated that the limits of such power should be clearly stated either by express provision in the constitution or further clarification by the supreme Court. I totally agree with them on this.

They know that they have done it before. It's not about today and the occupant of the office. It's about the future.

You must learn to read well and pick understanding. Operate with an open heart. That's the essence of education and exposure. I must not hate everything you say or do whether right or wrong.

helinues:
The issue with this EFCC boss is his gra gra. Just like Yahaya Bello, the case will die slowly.

Instead of the charade media persecution, negotiate with them to return the funds embezzled. Win win for everyone.

The EFCC prosecution have not been working for money embezzlement or money laundry as the politicians will either bribe their way at the court or use political instrument to get pardon

There are things that you don't know:
The present efcc chairman has complained many times how the wealthy are using the porous Nigerian legal system to delay cases till eternity.

He has rather focused more on recovery than jailing them. Nigerians will turn round to complain that the corrupt are buying their way to freedom. That they are not being jailed.

To date within the time frame that he has been in office, no efcc chairman from ribadu to date has recovered the value and volume that he has recovered. Counter this with concrete facts. I will not reply unnecessary and irrelevant arguments.

If it had been in Nigeria that this type of comment came from the president concerning one of his major critics, hell would have been let loose. Opposition would have said that the president sponsored the killing. No investigation would have been believed.

esnbrutality:
The revolt will be so much that St Lucia will abandon him.

Even France and UK are fighting a silent war over NIGERIA and anything is possible now.

Anyway, Agbadorian RONU-bandits will suffer if they don't have Oduduwa Republic.

Did Abaribe win his election? Show evidence.
