High blood pressure over “His Excellency” Peter Obi

The Sokoto-Badagry expressway is not a new project. In fact, the construction of the road commenced in 1978 and then abandoned in 1979! I’m surprised at the utter ignorance of those suggesting the road is another new shady project. After all, same road was discussed in the Senate back in 2021!

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road and The Sokoto-Badagry expressway are strategic roads and have been in the pipeline for years. You guys should be grateful you now have a President willing to make real the completion of these excellent projects.

That coastal highway must be shut down it's a charade

A PhD wrote this?

AntiMarxist:
So you mgbekes now admit Obi never built any schools but rather invested in miracle centres that produces frauds like Msemona.

Good

Hahahahaha…

Obidients are too drunk on Hero lager beer.

StOla:
A man with no standards.

None whatsoever! A paapaapa presidential candidate.

What is this inordinate obsession of some Nigerians with the US dollar?

SoNature:


What's the connection between what you wrote and mine? Be it generation, transmission or distribution, all those subsectors need power infrastructure to function optimally.

Tinubu has already signed a bill to empower states to generate, transmit and distribute power. And I am saying that given the title of this news story, this news doesn't add one megawatt of electricity to what currently exists in the national grid.

Understand first before you reply.

Currently, we generate more power than we transmit or distribute: some Discos even refuse to distribute additional power generated! Therefore of what use is an additional million megawatts to the grid without an expanded distribution and transmission sector. A State Government attempting to close a part of this deficit is a welcome development.

Perhaps, you prefer to have Ekiti State to go all out to generate and transmit and distribute its own power project. That would be fantastic but more costly. In any case, it will be better to start somewhere than do nothing because of lack funds to prosecute a greater power project.

SeeWahala:
Hahahaha 😆 Agbad0rian dey explain . . .

He go explain taayaaa




YET




No EVIDENCE

There’s nothing “agbadorian” in the opening post. The verdict of “No EVIDENCE” is empty without countervailing facts or argument!s

The scathing response to Atiku’s criticism was unnecessary, and even counterproductive. Onanuga could have done a better job on addressing some of the issues Atiku raised.

How can a son ask the father to return home.

Strange things happens fellas.

Please explain.

I don't just get it , I don't understand this people called men of God, which one is abido Shaker again?he should also use it to bring a bag of rice to 20k at least.

Perhaps he’s working on it!

MaryAye:
A law needs to be passed in the house of assembly where people cannot just open churches and say things.

Kenya practised this. It working so we'll for them. This public redicule of the christian fate must end.

Not all Tom, Dick and Harry should be allowed.

Religious freedom…his own interpretation of the Christian Faith. Let God be the judge of the true Christian Faith.

I hear you SLS, but I don’t believe these guys weren’t targeted!

In an extreme scenario, a truth serum could’ve sufficed, why beat them up like this na? Besides, can we rely on any evidence procured through torture. Men under torture can “confess” to anything, including crimes they didn’t commit! FSB officers no do well o. The faces of these suspects don reach Hell com back. Haba!

blackboy:
His story. Fact or not, killing the soldiers simply spoilt their case.

How did they know the soldiers were coming for their chairman? What proof? Their speculation led them to make à big and evil mistake.

And if you look at the rank of the soldiers that were killed it does not look like they were going for operation to arrest or kill. It is too low a job for such high ranking officers. It looked more like a team of senior soldiers with their boys going to talk or try to get respect and settle something. But were ambushed. Surrendered and tied then executed.

Your perspective is thought provoking. If it were true that some community chiefs had earlier been killed, it could also stand to reason that the soldiers (reacting to prevent an escalation) might truly have been on a peace mission and then tragically slaughtered!

phemyhalaby:

That man's mouth is his achilles heels.

It’s either he was clueless or downright mischievous. For any of these reasons, he would’ve been forced to resign as Senate President had Nigeria been a great democracy!

phemyhalaby:
…Apakbio talking about mercenaries…!

“Foreign mercenaries,” he called them. From a Senate President! Akpabio fall my hand, no be small.

socialmediaman:
CBN has been settling FX backlogs since it was established in the late 50s

Nigerians need real solutions, not gossip of when the president goes to bed and wakes up.

The change in policy and manner of the FX backlog settlement under prevailing conditions boost investors confidence. It isn’t propaganda!

Kaycee9242:
How much is dollar rate now

The best of macroeconomic policies takes some time (at least a year) to yield intended results. However the movement of some key macroeconomic variables can show us whether the policy will achieve its goal or not. For instance, if an economic policy effects rising External Reserve, it’s a good sign we are moving in the right direction. The Naira value will not go up unless you build a large External Reserve.

I agree with you that the dollar rate is too high, but we need patience. And Tinubu needs our prayers!

Kudos to Jagaban.

For an African country, a Federal Government with 36 federating units is too big! 37 civil services will drain resources necessary for capital projects. No wonder recurrent expenditures perennially outstripped capital expenditures. How do you develop when much of government revenue is spent to maintain personnel and their office operations. Regionalism is the way forward.

The impression I had before about the refineries was that they were a bottomless pit, a lost cause!

According to Gumi, “bandits are just marginalised Nigerians, who don’t have access to education, good roads, water, and other social amenities.” What type of deranged argument is that? There are millions of law abiding citizens in the North living under same conditions who didn’t become bandits! The reward system espoused by Gumi and his likes is responsible for escalating chaos in the North.

A lot is wrong about Sheikh Gumi’s moral compass. Why can’t Gumi (an Islamic cleric) be brave enough to tell these bandits to desist from banditry, that Allah forbids wrongdoing!

ElSudani:


The modus operandi looks very much like IPOB. Kill then mutilate or eat the body.

It could be anybody. We can never be sure it’s IPOB until a thorough investigation is carried out to unmask the culprits. I don’t believe there’s any shortcut to justice!

The soldiers were killed and their bodies defiled to provoke a desired response. Any group with a vested interest in the area could’ve done it. A proper investigation should be carried out before innocent lives are unnecessarily wasted.

Nothing new here, same old crap about “Fulani and Yoruba holding Igbo down!”

Something is surely wrong here. Why would “Northern Elders” want The FG to negotiate with bandits? Why must The NEF speak for those terrorizing the Northern people?

budaatum:


So, I have to be lower cadre before half salary paid every 3-4 months negatively affects me?

Meanwhile, his security operatives who were guarding the banks could not stop the hungry people he created by not paying them, who then now came in my farm and harvested all my yam and cocoa which I am indeed sentimental about, and making it uneconomical to farm in Osun State.

Sorry, but I don't own a bank. If I did I too would be sentimental about him not letting it get robbed.

Aregbe was a great champion amongst Osun State Governors. You people have truly over-flogged the salary issue. Development of Osun State infrastructure for millions of Osun State Citizens came at a cost: yea, the belly of a few senior civil servants! But with the benefit of hindsight, and without sounding insensitive to these gallant civil savants, you should still be happy that the sacrifices weren’t in vain. Or are you not proud of the schools Aregbe built and the roads he constructed. The returns on these investments will continue to accrue for generations yet unborn!
