Politics › Re: Why Are Poor Nigerians Not Getting The Benefit Of Tinubu’s Reforms? by wink2015(m): 8:04pm On Oct 12, 2025
FOLYKAZE:
Foods are now very cheap compare to what it was somewhere around this time last year. Yes I am talking about our common staples like cassava flour, garri, rice and beans. So the so called poor can still afford nutritious meals without breaking banks. Aside from worrying about continental dishes, common staples especially home made food are cheap
I completely disagree with this claim. The reality on ground does not support the idea that food prices have dropped or that staples are now cheap.
Walk through any local market or neighborhood shop and you’ll see that cassava flour, garri, rice, and beans have all witnessed sharp price increases compared to last year. Even a small paint bucket of garri that once sold for ₦600–₦800 now goes for well above ₦1,500 in many places.

There’s a clear disconnect between this claim and the daily experience of average Nigerians struggling to feed their families. The so-called “common staples” are no longer as affordable as they used to be. Many people have been forced to reduce meal portions or switch to less nutritious options just to survive.

Let’s be honest about what’s happening — the cost of living is still rising, and pretending otherwise does not change the reality that the poor are feeling the heat the most.

Do the Political leaders of Nigeria fear God ?

They do not !

They call God God God ! Prayer ! Prayer Prayer !

Yakubu Gowon clamoured for prayer as a solution to Nigeria 's political problem.

Obasanjo took over on prayers jamboree

Crime › Re: John Otunba Payne:The First Unresolved Murder In Nigeria, 119 Years After (pic) by wink2015(m): 3:46pm On Oct 11, 2025
HisaacPlus:
Payne was murdered in Lagos 119 years ago and the murder still unsolved:

John Otunba Payne, born 1839, was a notable Nigerian sheriff and colonial administrator in 19th-century Lagos.

He held important registry positions across the Supreme Court of Lagos and various other judicial departments, including the Police Court and Chief Magistrate's Court.

Besides his official roles, he kept detailed diaries, providing valuable insight into Lagos life during that period, he also organized first census in Lagos back in 1881 which was then known as the first official census of Lagos.

Tragically, Payne was killed at his home in Lagos in 1906 by an unidentified attacker, and the mystery surrounding his death remains unsolved.

In 1906, there was no Nigeria except Protectorate.

This is because the amagamation took place in 1914 by Lord Lugard.

Nigeria is struggling to fund its ambassadorial postings. When a major European country like Italy has to remind us to send an ambassador, it only exposes the depth of our challenges.

Without Niger Delta crude oil revenue, VAT collections, and constant foreign borrowing, Nigeria’s economy would be nothing more than a collapsing deck of cards.
Politics › Re: Igboho Seeks Ladoja’s Help Over Accounts Frozen By FG by wink2015(m): 8:13am On Oct 02, 2025
SmartPolician:
It seems Sunday Igboho has finally dropped his activism against Fulani killings in Yoruba land. What about Fulani victims in Kwara? Aren't they Yorubas anymore?
It is not accurate to say Sunday Igboho has "dropped his fight" simply because his voice is not as loud as before. Every struggle goes through phases, and leadership sometimes shifts from direct confrontation to strategic caution. His original stance was to defend Yoruba communities from unchecked violence, not to wage war against any ethnic group.

On the matter of Fulani victims in Kwara, we should also be careful not to confuse identity. Kwara State is a multi-ethnic state with Yoruba, Fulani, Nupe, Baruba, and others. Not all Fulani residents in Kwara automatically become Yoruba because they live there, just as not all Yoruba living in the North suddenly become Hausa-Fulani. Yoruba identity is cultural and ancestral, not merely geographical.

The real issue is justice for all victims of insecurity, regardless of whether they are Yoruba, Fulani, or any other ethnic group. The conversation should therefore move beyond ethnic labels and ask why the government has failed to protect all citizens equally. Blaming Sunday Igboho alone oversimplifies a complex national security failure.
Crime › Re: Kenyan Court Fines Nigerian ₦536 Million Or 60 Years In Jail For Drugs by wink2015(m): 8:28am On Sep 27, 2025
He is already a known drug trafficker.

He is a BIG FISH !

Okwudili Cletus Onuh even speaks the native language of Kenya, SWAHILI language.

Crime › Re: Kenyan Court Fines Nigerian ₦536 Million Or 60 Years In Jail For Drugs by wink2015(m): 8:05am On Sep 27, 2025
By the time this Igbo man, Okwudili Cletus Onuh, finishes his jail term in Kenya, he will already be a grandfather. He was fined Ksh. 46.5 million or given the option of serving 60 years in prison. Realistically, he will likely spend 30 to 35 years behind bars according to prison calendars, and there’s no certainty he has that kind of money in Kenyan currency to buy his freedom.

Those are his most fruitful years — the years he should have used to marry, raise children, and build a stable life. Even if he already has a wife and children, his incarceration will take a heavy toll. His wife may be left vulnerable, and his children will grow up without the presence and guidance of a father.

This is the painful consequence of long-term imprisonment. It is a clear reminder that men, women, and youths must avoid illicit drug trafficking in all its forms — whether across borders or even locally within Nigeria. The risks far outweigh the gains.

Celebrities › Re: Annie Macaulay Snubs Ex-Mother-In-Law’s Birthday, Enjoys Day Out With Friends by wink2015(m): 7:45am On Sep 27, 2025
Annie Macaulay should have shown some respect, after all, this woman remains the grandmother of her children with Tuface. That fact cannot be erased, no matter the separation, because the blood connection to Tuface’s family will always be there.

Let’s also remember that Tuface’s mother herself was openly against the separation, as she revealed in an interview that even circulated on YouTube.

All the same, I sincerely wish Annie Macaulay a bright future, and may her children with Tuface never suffer the negative effects of their parents’ separation.

CodeTemplarr:
The core reason we cannot be taxed anywhere near Kenyans is simple. Oil money. The availability of oil money from a small part of the country means theft or almost as good as free money. Now if free money is not managed well, how will the masses be encouraged to submit their sweat for mismanagement? How?
You are correct in your point.

Even fellow Africans hardly relocate to Nigeria.

Don't expect comfort you never give.

I agree with your views.

Do you know that there are Nigerians that are EYEING and FANTERCIZING over Burkina Faso with the intention to go there for hustle.

They are waiting for Burkina Faso to be BAKED READY for them to Japan to.

They are reading about the strides of Capt Musa Traore.

Very soon it Burkina Faso that is the BEES HONEY Ground.

Over 60 people killed and everywhere is silent.
It is not Tinubu fault after Buhari saw the problems and failed to address it.

It is the northern political leaders who refused to invest in state police.

They spend their revenue funding Hisbah Corp whose duty is to seize alcoholic beverages and break the bottles.

They leave the serious war to face common citizens.

Maybe a new citizens too . Because many of the citizens are unbelievable in their beliefs and expectations
If the political leaders change their character for a growth and development focus one.

It will reflect on society.

That will impact on the citizenry and change them.

Take for example in the north, northern Nigeria governor particularly in the core north failed to invest in comprehensive education for their youth population.

Many Abokis especially those artisans like shoemaker, Keke rider, Fried Yam/ Chicken seller etc do not understand English language.
They can only speak Hausa, Fulani ( Fula)

It is in the Southern part they come to learn pidgin English language which is the popular language for communication in the south.

If northern political leaders focus on educating their youths.

They will grow up to create value for society.

Rivers state should have the best of roads in Nigeria.

The state allocation from the federal government is very huge.

Federal government still have the role to maintain bad portion roads that they construct.

What past political leaders in Rivers state does like the Amechi, Peter Odili, Nyesom Wike etc is to carry Rivers people money to the federal level to be used to lobby and find favor from the ruling president.

That is what Wike has been doing now while serving as FCT Minister.
