Peter Obi got it wrong, his brother’s house was removed because of a court case, not because of politics.

Which court case? Did the court order the demolition of the House inclusive of all properties inside?

My point is, Gowon did not sign the Accord, since everybody know he was against the break up.

Gowon had no power to sign an accord that dismember the country. If he had signed and implemented the accord, die hard soldiers like T.Y Danjuma and Murtala Mohammed would have toppled him immediately. Both soldiers vehemently rejected the Aburi accord.

gidgiddy:
Gowon should stop lying to Nigerians, the records are there. Regional Army was one of the things agreed at Aburi, and it was agreed that the Regional Armies would be under the control of the Regional Military Governors

You signed the agreement, only to return to Nigeria, realised that what you signed gave a lot of powers to Regions, then went back on the agreement

You invited Ojukwu to the Midwest meeting knowing fully well that Ojukwu was not safe there, but Ojukwu sent Phillip Effiong to represent him.

You then completely broke the Aburi agreement with Decree 14 that dissolved the 4 Regions, and created 12 new states to replace them

To add insult to injury, you immediately enacted Decree 15 that abolished resource control

Gowon, you caused the war by breaking the Aburi agreement you signed with Ojukwu, just because you and your fellow Northerners wanted control of Nigeria

Regional army under Regional Governors one country? How would that have worked. Where have you seen such anywhere in the world? So who would then be the commandander in chief?

That's the morons that say Ibadan economy is better than the entire South East .. how many top markets dey for Ibadan? They don't know how many millionaires that are in Ariaria, ahịa cemetery, Ahịa ọhụrụ, shopping centre. ... And that's just Aba. Now when you go to Anambra/ onicha.

And you know how many billionaires in Ibadan? Yoruba millionaire and billionaires do not make as much noise as their Igbo counterparts. Not every billionaires dey show off like Obi Cubana and Co.

QuinModah:
Wetin dey Asaba?

You need to go to Asaba to see small Dubai. Most people from IPOB ravaged states are trooping into Asaba to live and invest. Asaba does not have the sit-at-home rubbish.
My wife just returned from Asaba last week, and she is thinking of opening a business there. He senior brother just launched a business in Asaba.

Stati-nonsense. How can Jos and Aba have better economy than Ibadan, Abeokuta and Asaba? Jos that has been taken over by Fulani Herdsmen, and Onitsha that has been ravaged by IPOB. Even Maiduguri that's Boko Haram territory is said to have better economy than most southern capitals.

Here is a list of states with the highest IGR in Nigeria. This fairly represent states with cities with best economies, and not those states being ravaged by terrorists.

Do I need to remind you that same Fashola rose on the back of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) become a Minister.

Fashola is a hardcore loyalist of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and would forever be grateful.

False. Fashola did not ride on the back of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to become minister under President Buhari. Buhari nominated Fashola (and Fayemi) to spite Bola Tinubu. Tinubu himself said during his "emi lokan" outburst against Buhari, when he was was airing his grievances, that "Buhari did not give him any appointment or contract.

Please stop propagating lies and dishonesty

CoronaVirusPro:
His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is not a perfectionist. He brought-in the Great Fashola so you cannot judge him for making a blunder.

We make mistakes as humans.

So now Fashola is now "the great Fashola" Fashola that had a very tumultuous relationship with Tinubu all through his governorship and most of his ministerial appointment under Buhari. I doubt they are on speaking terms today.

Tinubu has had issues with every governor he imposed on Lagos since 2007.

I bought a bag of rice for 60k this afternoon in Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Short/medium grain is 60k
Long grain is between 79k-84k
My choice brand of rice is 84k.

The price is dependent on type and brand you want to buy.

Exactly. The N60k rice is rebagged local rice. They have numerous rebagging warehouses between Songo Otta and Lagos.

yinkus6750:
It's now obvious this statistics has no sense. Price of foreign rice has drastically dropped within the past few weeks. Currently sold at 58-60,000 in Ogun State. The rate was even a slight increase which is attributed to Sallah celebration.

Not exactly correct. Original foreign rice is between N75,000 to N80,000. The ones sold for N58,000 - N60,000 as foreign rice is just Local rice re-bagged in foreign labelled bags. The difference is clear, local rice cannot be stored for long without it changing taste and texture.

I just bought a bag yesterday.

You are talking like a baby. Ask your uncles and they will tell you things especially the economy have been nosediving since the 70's in Nigeria but it got worse in the 90's. Fela was complaining that a modu of garri was getting expensive at #1. Bag of rice used to be #150 in this same Nigeria before. I used to pay #250 per term in boarding school in the early 90's and that came with three meals per day for a whole three months so what the heck are you talking about the PDP era where a bag of rice cost exactly the same amount the whole students in my boarding school paid in the 90's. You are not going to win any election by telling people that the PDP share the money era without infrastructure was the best. We have had good days and as Dangote said two days ago, by the time the impact of the recent economic policies begin to reflect and manifest, he said Aso Rock will become a form of pilgrimage site from well wishers. I'm not a politician and I don't like them much because they are selfish all of them. I don't see any reason why the cost of governance is not reduced while we are going through all these reforms. I don't know why a former Governor now a senator should be earning billions (All the parties are guilty of this) and to be honest, this is the time these people should work voluntarily in sacrifice to make the nation great again but they are all selfish. All of them.

Yes, Nigeria’s economy has been in steady decline since the 1970s. However, it is important to acknowledge that President Olusegun Obasanjo, during his two-term tenure, was able to temporarily halt — and in many respects reverse — this downward trend.

During his eight years in office, Nigeria escaped the crippling debt trap by negotiating and paying off significant portions of its external debts. His administration also left behind over $60 billion in foreign reserves and excess crude account savings. Under Obasanjo, Nigeria’s international image improved substantially, and there were genuine efforts to address corruption, including the establishment of the Due Process Office to ensure transparency in the awarding of federal government contracts. Overall, the economy experienced a level of stability and reform that had long eluded the country.

Unfortunately, these gains were systematically eroded by the administrations that followed. The situation has worsened significantly under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, particularly the current one. Inflation is at an all time high, interest rate is over 25%. All economic indices are terrible.
Today, government contracts are awarded at outrageous costs without any form of competitive bidding. Corruption is rampant across all sectors of society, with virtually no accountability. Nigeria’s global reputation has plummeted to its worst point in history — so much so that even neighboring countries now seek to distance themselves from us.

ucheheart:
Equitorial guinea , sierra leone, cuba and some other countries on that list are not muslim countries. So it's not about religion.

It's more about money. Common thread among the list is poverty. Outside a few Islamic fundamentalist countries like Iran and Libya, the list is simply a list of the top 10 poorest countries in the world.
It seems Trump hate poor people as much as Islamic fundamentalists.

NoToPile:
Nigerians need to change first if we will have a cleaner country.

Hope you know those places were dumpaites when they were far in the bush and they have announced both will be closed down

Nigerians are dirty and corrupt period and when they go abroad they conform.

The only language understood is force.
You say lawma is not efficient right, let lawma strike for just 6hours you will understand what they do.

I have personally seen their trucks clear a road median of waste and just as they leave, aboki comes comes to pour waste with cart in that same location and you will be like ahan.

When the commissioner said the cart pushers are a cartel he was right.

You employ people to sweep waste, employ to monitor those who sweep the waste, then employ people to arrest those pouring waste on the road , how much manpower will you pay to ensure people do the right thing.

Also Lagosians don't want to pay the PSP they want free services.

We need to be hard on lagosians and an average lagosian is stubborn , anyone caught pouring waste anyhow should be arrested tried and sent to prison that's the only way we learn , with force .

Our problem is systemic , concerning this waste issue I wouldn't fault the govt entirely the citizens are to be blamed majorly. Very dirty, undisciplined . Shit everywhere, pour waste everywhere do anything anyhow . Once there are consequences they will shape in.

What we understand as Nigerians are consequences and force.

Those trucks with LAWMA signs are private waste disposal trucks, they don't belong to Lagos State government.

Why are you exonerating the government, is waste management infrastructure available and people refuse to use it. Are they waste bins on our roads, bus stops sbd parks, and people refuse to use them? Are there well maintained public toilets at strategic points and people ignore them? What of sewage. Is there a centralised or even decentralised sewage system? Many house in lagos lack toilets, in most-face-me-I-face-you houses you have 10 families sharing one toilet.

NoToPile:
Are you sure of the bolded?

Positive. They subcontract waste collection to contractors, who are most times incompetent and are only interested in collecting money. We have not seen their waste disposal trucks in more that 2 months.
They say they have incinerators at Ojota. Imagine having just one incinerator for a population of over 20 million. Most of our wastes still end up in the environment - Rivers, ocean and open spaces.

eenai:
There is no civilised part of the world where a day is set aside for human vehicular movement restrictions on account of sanitation. This is going back to the old unproductive ways of doing things. Simply put the government agency in charge of ensuring that people keep their neighbourhood clean, on their toes and watch how things turn out. Declaring a day for sanitation will not guarantee a clean environment, people will simply take that to play football on the deserted street, watch movies or engage in other activities that are not sanitation-related.

It has already been declared unconstitutional and illegal by the courts. The Lagos State government is only attempting to wake a dead horse.

Kemetian:
The Lagos state government should stop messing around and build proper underground drainage systems.

No modern city does this “clean up day” nonsense because the infrastructure negates the need for that.

If you build roads with covered drainage and sidewalks, there would be no need to force residents out of their homes to dig rubbish from your filthy open gutters.

There’s no need for an “environmental day” in Abuja, because the infrastructure is well built, and there are no filthy open gutters to “clean up”.

In Nigeria, government's responsibilities are always pushed to the citizens, particularly poor citizens. Lagos State Government has no sanitation trucks, have no waste disposal facilities/incinerators, have no sanitation officers, but want to put the responsibility of disposing waste on ordinary citizens, by infringing on the fundamental constitutional rights of free movement, which the courts have already frowned on.

SmartPolician:
The source of the fraudulent money should take priority. Therefore, governors should take the case to the federal high court and work out a definite sharing formula between the FG and affected states.

If James Ibori steals #30 billion from Delta State, the EFCC recovers #25 billion, then the FG should take 35%, Delta State takes 50% and the EFCC takes 15% for legal expenses, running cost, salaries, etc. The EFCC should be considered a parastatal.

The Federal High Court cannot determine sharing formula. Sharing formula of any revenue can only be determined by the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission. Besides, it more logical to return the money from the source from which it was looted. Why should a governor loot billions of dollars from his state, and then when the money is recovered, it goes to the federal government. That means the federal government is benefiting from the proceeds of a crime.

Furthermore, even if the States takes the federal government to the high court to recover money looted from its state coffers, the matter will still wind through the judicial system, and ultimately end up at the Supreme Court. This can take years if not decades. By the time the Supreme Court gives final judgment, the matter would have become irrelevant. So it makes sense for matters bordering constitutional disagreements between the FG and states to go straight to the supreme court for expediency.

What happened EFCC

You See what EFCC has been reduced to - chasing Yahoo boys. EFCC is overwhelmed with thousands of petitions of humongous fraud and corruption, some running into billions and trillions, but EFCC is more interested in Identity theft and cat fishing.
EFCC should be renamed Internet Fraud and Crimes commission - IFCC.

As far as I’m concerned, this year’s JAMB result is a complete farce. My son participated in the exams, and I was deeply involved in his preparation, so I witnessed the process first-hand.

My son is focused on gaining admission into the University of Lagos (UNILAG) to study Computer Science, a course with a notoriously high cut-off mark—usually in the 260s. To give him the best chance, I invested heavily in his preparation. Apart from his regular schoolwork, I paid for additional home and school lessons for the last six months. He also endured sleepless nights for one month, fully dedicated to preparing for JAMB. He took the JAMB CBT practice exam three times, improving from a score of 226 to 252 by his third attempt.

His actual JAMB exam was scheduled for April 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM. To avoid delays, especially due to the early morning rain and potential traffic, his mother accompanied him to the CBT centre in Igbogbo, Ikorodu, arriving at 12 noon. However, what they met was chaos.

Candidates scheduled for the 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM session did not complete their exams until around 1:30 PM. Verification of students didn’t begin until 2:00 PM. Due to fingerprint machine failures, the exam itself didn’t start until 3:00 PM. Then came more issues—faulty computers, unresponsive keyboards and mice, and network problems. Within the first 30 minutes, some students were being logged out of the JAMB portal. By the one-hour mark, many students had either submitted their exams or had them submitted themselves automatically. My son's computer auto-submitted at 1 hour and 35 minutes. At that point, he had completed English, Mathematics, and Chemistry but had only attempted 15 questions in Physics before the system forced a submission. He was devastated, and my wife immediately raised concerns with the invigilators. Their response? "There’s nothing we can do."

We held onto hope and waited for the results, believing that with all the preparation, he would at least reach the average mark, even if he might not make the high cut-off for Computer Science. But when JAMB released the results on May 7, 2025, the shock was immense.

His total score was 174. That’s not just disappointing—it’s confusing. He scored 38 in Physics (which he barely attempted), 37 in English, 46 in Chemistry, and 53 in Mathematics. The strange part is the lack of any noticeable difference between the subjects he fully completed and Physics, which he could only partially attempt.

At first, I tried to remain objective—perhaps parents tend to overestimate their children’s performance. But as I started comparing notes with other parents and teachers, a disturbing pattern emerged. In my son's school, the best-performing students—those consistently scoring straight As—scored disastrously low in JAMB. The top Chemistry student got 28. The Head Boy, who scored 264 in the JAMB mock exam just a week before the real thing, ended up with 168. Meanwhile, one of the weakest students in the school, who often skips classes and performs poorly, somehow scored 218.

When I asked my son's JAMB teacher to explain, he mentioned something called “special centres”—locations where, according to him, students routinely score 300+ due to paying higher fees. He claimed the student in question who scored 218 in my son's school did the exams in a special centre. He even suggested we register my son at one for the next JAMB, noting that although it’s expensive, a high score is “guaranteed.”

I’m still in shock. Is this what Nigeria has become? It’s no wonder that universities no longer rely solely on JAMB scores and now conduct their own entrance exams. If schools must run post-UTME exams to select candidates, then what exactly is the point of JAMB? It’s beginning to feel like a waste of time, money, and effort.

Back in my day, the system was more transparent. If you felt your score was wrong, you could contest it and have your script reviewed. But that doesn’t seem possible today. The exam questions are now randomly generated and unique to each student, so there's no script to verify. I’ve even heard disturbing rumours that JAMB scores are adjusted or manipulated in backroom computer operations—though this is nearly impossible to prove.

JAMB urgently needs to be more transparent if it wants to regain the trust of students, parents, and the universities it is supposed to serve. Right now, it’s just one more institution eroding the hope and confidence of Nigerian youth in their country. Its still solidifying the notion in the minds of our youth that hard work does not pay, and cheating is the acceptable norm

VDM WEY DEM DON ALREADY KPAI

Exactly. Is VDM still alive? How come no one has seen or heard from him since his arrest 5 days ago. We need proof of life to ascertain he has not been kpaied

henrydanger:
Oga stop reading fake trails... EFCC spokesperson spoke on the reason behind his arrest

What we're the reason given by EFCC spokesman for his arrest? Dies it have to to with fraud, stealing government money or other economic crimes?

APC moles seems to be doing overtime on nairaland.

henrydanger:
We Nigerians know how to over react and sometimes very dramatic. VDM is not above the law. Yes! He isn't. Before you condemn me, the spoke person for EFCC said that are so many allegations on him for "cyber stalking". It is the absolute role of the EFCC to investigate such allegations. And VDM that we know isn't a criminal. We can attest for him on that. But according to our constitution, Cyber stalking is a criminal offense. Why don't we calm down and let them investigate. If he's innocent, he will be released. All those claiming he was blindfolded and all that, I ask a simple question; where you there? Let us be calm. VDM na national property, the government can't do him no harm, same as the case of Nnamdi Kanu. Them no fit touch am. We love VDM

It's not the EFCC's job to investigate cyberstalking, that's the job of the police. EFCC stands for Economic and Financial crime commission.

DeepSight:
People with superior knowledge of evolution than you have made the same inquiries I am making.
As for the rest of your post, if you cannot see the very simple issue raised, I have to leave it.

Personally, I think on this matter, you are full of hot air and very shallow thought.

We have been friends too long on this platform to start trading jibes at each other over differences of opinion.
Here is a concise Wikipedia article on evolution of sexual reproduction. I have not been able to read it myself, but it contains all questions and misunderstandings you might have -
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sexual_reproduction

DeepSight:
Let me break this down.

1. In organisms that engage in sexual reproduction, the systems for such reproduction will have to be complete and complimentary in both sexes for any such reproduction to occur.

2. It is argued by evolutionists that the evolution of such systems takes millions of years.

3. During those "millions of years" how was the organism carrying on it's reproduction so as to arrive at the completeness of the very systems that it would have needed to reproduce and evolve during that same period?

Are we clear now?

I am still at loss as to what you are talking about. Let me ask you one question; do amphibians like toad that just sit on the back of its female as its form of sex have complete reproductive system?

What of plants? Is the movement of male sex gamete to female ones by external factors such as insects or wind complete systems?

Reproductive systems are wide and varied - from simple ones to more complex systems.

It's a pity you have very little knowledge of evolution, and you are making the same false assumptions religious deniers make.
Evolution does not take millions of years, micro evolution takes place between every generation. Its just that the micro evolution are usually too inconsequential to present any difference. It's hundreds or even thousands of these micro evolutions, particularly those that is beneficial to the specie that results in significant changes. This can often lead to the emergence of whole new species.

DeepSight:

Just tell me how there would have been successful reproduction during that gradual process with incomplete complementary reproduction systems?

Reproduction as defined by biology is a system of self replication.

Reproduction as defined by biology is fundamentally a system of self-replication, meaning organisms create copies of themselves, ensuring the continuation of species and passing on genetic information. So I don't understand what you mean by successful reproduction.

As I said reproductive systems evolved from simple cell division - mitosis to complex reproductive systems involving defined sex organs and sex. Some animals possess both sex organs while most higher organisms have just one. Some mutations allow people to possess both sex organs.

DeepSight:
You cant just state that "a way to speed up evolution was required" and as such boom! Sexual reproduction appears on the scene.
Sexual reproduction requires the simultaneous evolution in both male and female of complimentary sexual organs in a complete set, including mammary glands and all of this must happen in a single generation - which is impossible.

Lest I have to explain why it must happen in a single generation, it is because no offspring will survive or even come into being at all if the whole complimentary reproductive male and female set is not complete! Is this lost on you?

Can you now see the difficulty?

My brother, I respect your intellectual and spiritual depth, but I must admit evolution is not one of your strong subjects. Me, I have been studying evolution since the age of 16, especially that of humans. That's close to 4 decades. I started studying evolution before the human genome was decoded. Even though I am not an authority on the subject, I fully understand the process.

So let me explain the evolution of sex and sexual reproduction as best as I can;

The Evolution of Sex

The process of evolution is gradual, not spontaneous or simultaneous. It occurs through minute, often imperceptible changes in genes passed down over many generations. While mutations—sometimes triggered by radiation or chemicals—can introduce rapid genetic changes, most such mutations are harmful. True evolutionary change, especially in complex systems like reproduction, takes time and builds slowly through natural selection and genetic variation.

1. The Origins: Asexual Reproduction

The earliest form of reproduction was asexual, beginning with simple cell division:
- Mitosis: A single cell grows and divides into two identical daughter cells. This method ensured efficient reproduction in unicellular organisms.
- Asexual reproduction still exists today and remains efficient for many simpler organisms, like bacteria and certain protists.

2. The Emergence of Sexual Reproduction

Over time, a more advanced method evolved—sexual reproduction, driven by the need for genetic diversity:
- Meiosis: A special type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing specialized reproductive cells (gametes).
- Some bacteria and viruses engage in horizontal gene transfer, a primitive form of genetic exchange that increases variation—laying the foundation for sexual reproduction.

This exchange of genetic material greatly enhanced the adaptability and evolutionary potential of organisms.

3. Development of Sex Cells

As organisms evolved:
- Cells differentiated into specialized sex cells: sperm (male) and eggs (female).
- These gametes carried only half the genetic information, and required fusion (fertilization) to create a new, genetically unique organism.

4. Evolution of Reproductive Organs and Systems

To support the new reproductive strategy:
- Organisms evolved reproductive organs to house and deliver gametes.
- Initially, many organisms were hermaphroditic, possessing both male and female reproductive organs. However, self-fertilization was often avoided to maintain genetic diversity.
- As complexity increased, many species evolved to have separate sexes, each specializing in one type of gamete. This was more efficient and avoided redundancy.

5. Fertilization Methods

- In simpler organisms(e.g., many fish and amphibians), fertilization is often external —females lay eggs and males release sperm over them.
- More complex organisms(e.g., mammals, birds, reptiles) developed internal fertilization, often accompanied by elaborate mating behaviors and specialized reproductive systems to increase the chances of successful reproduction.

6. Evolutionary Records and Continuity

One remarkable aspect of evolution is that it leaves behind traces of its history:
- From RNA to DNA, from simple proteins to cells, and from unicellular to multicellular life, these evolutionary stages are still observable today.
- Asexual and basic sexual reproduction coexist in modern organisms, offering a living window into our evolutionary past.

DeepSight:
I am not sure you have reflected on the process. It's highly questionable that male organs would evolve to exactly complement female organs to complete sexual reproduction, aside from the small problem of the fact that it would have to happen simultaneously to be valid.

I raised the critical questions years ago here -

https://www.nairaland.com/1571602/evolution-sexes-sexxual-reproduction

My brother male and female organs did not just evolve spontaneously. The organs evolved much later. It was the sex cells that first evolved and specialised in reproduction.

According to evolutionary theory, single cell organism lasted for a very long time before aggregating into multicellular. So asexual reproduction was the only means of reproduction. Also well into the early multicellular phase asexual reproduction ruled. It was when cells began to differentiate and organism increased in complexity that organs began to evolve. Complex organism were more vulnerable to environmental changes than simple or single cell organism, and thus a way to speed up evolution was required, this was where sexual reproduction came to the rescue.

It's a more complex process, and I read it quote a while ago, but I just presented you the summary.

MaxInDHouse:
Good!
So what has their god been doing that is noteworthy?
Jehovah journeyed to Egypt the world's most powerful nation of the time with two feeble octogenarians (Aaron and Moses) and freed thousands of Israelites from slavery.
That's a warning signal for any nation on the way that this God is the Almighty not some demons using humans to fight for territory.
So if any nation decides to fight with this people who are coming with such a God what advice will you give them?

First of all, there is no evidence outside the Torah that the Israelites were ever held in slavery in Egypt. The Egyptians were excellent record keepers, they had no record of Joseph, Jewish enslavement, the plagues, Moses, and most ridiculous of all - a whole Pharaoh with his whole army drowning in the red sea.

He’s worse than Satan … a blood thirsty demon

Where did you get the notion that Satan is a blood thirsty demon? Even the Bible did not describe him as such. Satan only killed on person in the whole of the bible - Job, and he got permission from Yahweh. Now compare to Yahweh.

Now go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Do not spare them. Kill men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys

How can a sane human justify a god that says you should kill nursing babies!!!! How !!

Exactly. People tend to take the character of the God they worship.
