Senseless Tacha. You have the right to call out the leadership of any state you live and pay your tax.

When it is time to collect his tax, you wont tell anyone to go to their state.
I went to Idioro, Mushin yesterday, the mountains of stinking thrash in the middle of the busy road, was quite disturbing oooo. It has been there for months. Yet the enthusiasm with which all manner of tax and state backed extortion was going on same road is choking

Before you open your stinking mouth to defend thrash here, first visit that location this morning.

I would say that 90% of Lagos street and major link roads are shamefully terrible, going by how much revenue this state make daily

Your right comes with a caveat - you should criticize responsibly and objectively.

Do you pay your waste management bill?
Did the Lagos State government drop the waste and refuse at that location in Idioro or your street in Lagos?
Is it not human beings like you that reside in your street and every other streets in Lagos that turned those spots into refuse dump sites and yet don't pay for waste management?

ukaface:
Wo aunty tacha when you see the truth you say it.

Lagos state is dirty, not coming from a place of tribalism but they need to keep those northerners/ Hausas in check. They use every nook and cranny as a place of abode, shitting and pissing, using it as a spot for packing plastics… True, fashola demolished that nonsense but come to fagba now the rail na all of them full there, fill up the whole rail with their dirtiness and beg beg. Da fvck…Wetin Sanwo Olu Dey do sef?

I will speak of Lagos because na there I know.

Aunty tacha, should talk true. Lagos is dirty and yes Smelling.

How often do you do and organize community service in your area for cleaning your area and Fagba?

How neat is your house and your compound?

You are part of the challenge in Lagos, my lady.

YouAreNobody:
Stupid question.
Let me throw your question back at you, "which state are you from?"

I'm sure you're not a lagosian, una no dey ever admit say you're from Osun or Ondo and that's why you go to Lagos to constitute nuisance and Sanwolu keeps deporting y'all 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It is a simple question. Your response shows how hypocritical you can be.

MadPolitician:
Tachaa should stop overreaching .
We are not discussing "make-up" here.

The topic raised by the gentleman is obviously above Tachaas pay-grade

Tacha is entitled to her opinion and her opinion makes a lot of sense to me.

ibedun:
I don’t care! Nigeria is a federation of several nations like Hausa land, Yoruba land, Benin kingdom etc
The states are pure federal revenue allocation territories. The fake merger is precisely a misnomer. I have nothing in common with the people of Borno state or Ebonyi state. I don’t know those people and I don’t want to know them. 😄😄

Are you good?

Ttalk:
Real estate in Lagos has crashed, no Igboman will buy property in Lagos any longer, that money is already going to the SE where real estate is booming.

Thank God for this development. Igbo men can invest in South East, let the Lagos that you so much criticize be.

ZombieDredd:
Lagos is a no mans land according to Bwala and FG.
Therefore iguma has a right to critique the government especially after contributing to it's development as a law abiding citizen.

Anyone not happy about this should take a long walk off a short pier.

Again, Lagos has aborigines. Lagos is not "no man's land".

franchasng:
Tacha the guy is making a good point. This has nothing to do with wherever he comes from. He is saying nothing but the truth, properties in Lagos are overrated and overpriced, simple.


2billion naira will buy you an amazing duplex in most highbrow cities in the US, UK, Switzerland, France, etc, now tell me can you compare any of the aforementioned countries cities with any city in Nigeria?


We are the reason our politicians are misbehaving and misleading this country.


The critic never said his state of origin is better than Lagos, he only said nothing but the truth that our properties are overpriced.


Every criticism of the government must be viewed with tribalism glasses

No one forced you to buy properties in Lagos. If you don't like Lagos, invest your funds in properties or assets outside Lagos or better still, in your home state.

jmoore:
Which one is 'his state'?

The dude praised Fashola.

Who is even Tacha? She should hush if she can't come up with an intelligent defense. All these girls that graduated from porn reality show.

Anyone that lives in any state can criticize anything that doesn't sound pleasant.

A porn actor or actress can speak intelligently sometimes. Tacha made a valid observation and suggestion to the guy:

He should also dedicate sometime to showcase, critic or commend his home state showing us the good and bad situations in pictures.

LagosOrigin:
But if na you, will you spend 2 billion naira to purchase a house that the frontage is like that ?

Talk true

2 billion naira is not 2 million naira o

Did anybody force you or anyone to buy the property worth that amount in the Area or Lagos at all?

It is a transaction of offer and acceptance is optional; your choice.

Ofunaofu:
The DSS is not Tinubu’s PR team or his personal legal counsel. Their job is to protect national security, not the image of one man especially a man who, as you admitted, would need to be investigated with evidence before any action is taken. But Sowore didn’t arrest Tinubu, he spoke via a post on his social media handle. And in a democracy, speech is not a crime just because it makes the president uncomfortable. If Tinubu feels defamed, the courts are open let him sue, like every other citizen.

Weaponizing state security to intimidate critics is not strength, it’s weakness and calling it 'proactive' is just a fancy way of excusing authoritarianism.

When you boldly and publicly call a President a criminal, you should be able to prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

The best place for Sowore to prove it is in a competent ccourt of law. DSS just offered him that opportunity to prove it so he should be bold enough to do that.

This is not weaponization of DSS; it is accountability on the part of the accuser. I am not holding brief for the president, I just want us to be careful with our utterances.

Orlandoo:
Whatever happens, Sowore has proven to be a freedom fighter and his legacies will live even after he is no more.

Sowore has to take responsibility for his actions

https://independent.ng/apc-national-chairman-yet-to-resign-as-minister-53-days-after/

These politicians are so greedy, self-centered and perverted. These can only be motivated by corruption

Ofunaofu:
That is very flawed . First, let’s get the facts straight: Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension was imposed by the Senate, not a court of law, and that suspension has already lapsed. There is no legal basis for her continued exclusion from the chamber. Period.

Now, to this your your "she was asked to apologize" claim, apologies don’t override constitutional rights or due process. This isn’t a monarchy where personal pride trumps law; it's a democracy. You don’t silence an elected senator and by extension, her constituents over ego.

If Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan made accusations against Akpabio, the proper path is due legal process, not political punishment disguised as procedure. And let’s not pretend the justice system moves swiftly or without influence especially when high-ranking politicians are involved.

Finally, let’s not ignore the bigger issue. Just as it was highlighted by the ADC National publicity secretary, Mallam Bolaji, only 4 women out of 109 senators, and one is being politically sidelined for refusing to bow to power. That’s not just stubbornness, it’s courage. What’s really stubborn is the refusal of certain power blocs to let democracy work unless it serves their ego.

I read sentiments all through your position.

The Senate decided to suspend Natasha Apoti but she took the matter to court. The court advised the Senate to lift her suspension and gave some instructed Natasha to apologize for her provocative purported apology on Facebook within 2 weeks.

Natasha refused and challenged the entire judgement in court. The Senate President also challenged the judgement in court.

These actions escalated the matter to the Court of Appeal. Hence, status quo is expected to be maintained pending the decision of the Court of Appeal. That is the legal basis for the continued suspension.

However, you need to be reminded that the decision of the Senate to lift the suspension of Natasha Apoti in the Senate is dependent on her proper and firmal apology to the Senate for her misconduct, she hasn't done that till date, instead she has been trying to disparage and embarrass the Senate of the FRN.

It is not the fault of the Senate that Justice process is slow.

Natasha Apoti was never sidelined for refusing to bow to power. She violated the rules of the Senate and must account for her actions, she must take responsibility for her actions and be punished accordingly. The essence of punishment is to get the recipient to understand the offence and ultimately to make the recipient willingly understand the need not to repeat that offence again. The behavior of Natasha Apoti doesn't show that she learnt any lesson from the the incidents, she feels she is being victimized, sexually harassed, targeted or bruised by power unjustly. That is Natasha Apoti deflecting from the real lessons and essence of the punishment. She could have just taken the punishment in good faith, apologized for the misbehaviors and assumed her responsibility like a responsible, honorable and sane human.

KillahPriest:
You can't take kids without your spouse or other parent permission and even if this happened, he can mess her up wherever she is right now so, I don't see any need for wasting time posting on social media instead of taking direct action if what she did pained me. Nigerian men are getting more effeminate every day

You made a salient point.

Chilipepper:
Wife secretly planned and secured a US visa for herself and the kids without her husband’s knowledge. He only found out two days before their departure. After arriving in the US, she blocked him everywhere.

The story has some issues?

The 🇺🇸USA Embassy would normally required the consent of the parents for the children's VISA application.

Did the husband sign a consent document or did the wife falsify his consent or.......

Wait till you see it happen. It would not be the president trying anything strange. It would be DSS and other security agencies of government doing their job.

PrincessDiana:
NUPENG is the one forcing unionisation onto Dangote truckers. Not the other way around.
Get your facts right.

Do you expect the Dangote Truckers to actively show to Dangote Petroleum that they want the NUPENG union membership?

Don't you know that the management of Dangote Petroleum will start targeting every trucker that actively show interest in joining the union.

That is why they will stay silent on the surface but actively pushing to join NUPENG in the background. They will leave it to NUPENG to compel Dangote Petroleum to allow them join the union.

frog12:
na him private business
you can't have the cake and eat it
big lesson to all those marketers.

Oga, NUPENG is not for marketers.

NUPENG is an association; it is a union of workers in the petroleum industry in Nigeria.

NUPENG is backed and established by law and no company or organization can legally stop their staff from joining such organization, provided the staff wish to join.

There are lots of advantages for the staff to join the Unions than to be excluded.

Dangote Petroleum is not the only private organization operating in the petroleum industry that the staff will want to join NUPENG.

Softmirror:
The Nigerian context and realities is very different. You just have to be sincere to yourself. NUPENG has been a great disservice to this nation.

NUPENG is primarily keen to defend members interest and NUPENG interest, first and foremost.

Softmirror:
Unionism as how?! Dangote should hold his ground firmly! While NUPENG should reflect on their past mischieves.

Why should Dangote Petroleum prevent staff from joining their respective unions?

The staff are free to join unions and that is the norm in the petroleum industry.

The Union is a pressure group that has it's own advantage and protects staff interest across companies in the industry.

olaric:
NUPENG is just being childish...how can you be planning to go on strike over issues like this? What has going on strike got to do with what's on ground?

That is unionism and strike is allowed when it becomes the last resort.

Dogalmighty17:
NUPENG must not be allowed to blackmail and threaten the government and the economy. Dangote refinery is a private entity and reserves the right to enforce internal conditions as it deems fit.

The only organisation that may even be considered to have a say here is the Petroleum and Tanker Drivers Association of Nigeria and they have told their members to ignore NUPENG and the strike.

NUPENG wants to force unionisation in a private refinery and by so doing will want to dictate to Dangote how to relate with drivers under its employ. That is a no-no. Did NUPENG go after Greenfield gas? Has NUPENG gone after Nigerian breweries, coca cola or Guinness? Does NUPENG dictate to any of these companies that they must enforce unionisation of their drivers? Why is NUPENG insisting that Dangote drivers must unionise?

Dangote has thousands of truck drivers in his sugar, salt, flour and cement companies. Why did NUPENG not bring up the issue of their unionisation all this while? Is it because NUPENG has read the hand writing on the wall and knows that Dangote is about to render them irrelevant? Dangote should call thier bluff.

NUPENG didn't down tools to force government to fix the terrible roads the unions drivers have been forced to use all these years. NUPENG kept looking the other way as hundreds of its drivers lost their lives in the course of delivering products across the country. Now NUPENG claims to have found its voice? Dangote should crush them. NUPENG has held Nigerians hostage for too long.

Do you want to blame NUPENG on this development?

Do you understand unionism?

Be there thinking, while dey are busy siphoning our common wealth. You never Sabi anything when dey happen. Continue playing.

You have made no sense in your response to me and I am wondering why you had to respond if this is all you could say.

I don't think the 5% petroleum tax is necessary since subsidy was removed on petroleum products.

The economic situation of the country and cost of living compared to the Personal income of the various households also suggests no need for the 5% petroleum tax.

Remi Tinubu has been told in plain language.

A national project of this proportion and significance cannot be executed through charity.

The NASS must have its input by way of budgetary appropriation.

There are several other ways that she can make her contributions towards societal development.


Remi Tinubu: please, keep off our National Library!



@hotseat

You don't have to donate if you don't like the idea. Just don't hate for no genuine reason.

Others want to donate.

DeepSight:
.


That's how they will end up naming it Oluremi Tinubu National Library of Nigeria.

Wait with your lamentations till they name the National Library after Oluremi Tinubu.

Then you can cry.

smallsmall:
Being a Supporter of Tinubu does not mean one should lack the capacity for critical thinking, which is what you are displaying here.!
I have provided enough explanation in my post, to justify my assertion and if you still 'dont get it', go and get A REFUND from whatever school you attended, l am only responsible for what l post, not another person's level or lack of comprehension.

BTW, l am not Anti Tinubu but when l see aggrandizement, l now it and will point it out.

What aggrandizement are you seeing with your high end education that seems questionable?

You can't have a decent conversation without abuse, insults and demeaning others.

I am not responsible for your aggrandizement - Mr Non Tinubu Supporter.

I am not Pro Tinubu, I criticize Tinubu when I need to do so.

If everybody reason with this kind TEMU sense .. Then we can conclude that the woman wants to cash out from over donations, renaming the monument after herself or husband and also getting more than 10% kick back from contractors...... No be Tpain, akpabio and wike nigeria we dey again...

I can't influence your reasoning largely.
You own your mind and you can think whatever.

I don't just see the sense that you are trying to make with your TEMU mind.
