You people are so devilish and full of deceitful, you must blame government and yoruba for everything, even when the lawyer said the federal C of O of that land was obtained in 2021, so Tinubu don plan to demolish the place even when he never win APC ticket?

Federal C of O in Lagos? That one is strange to me. Abeg who dey issue C of O in states?

Felabrity:
Rubbish stats

Where is sportybet and pornhub

How is bet9ja number 1??

Who is still visiting that site called nairaland?

It's talking about Nigerian websites and not foreign based ones. Overall, Google, YouTube and twitter would have far more Nigerian visitors than bet9ja

culf:
Like half of Naija population now dey into betting, hoping for a way out,What a country.

The other half is into tithing and offerings as a way out of poverty.

bemeruca:
People believe any story they see. This one does not even make sense.

That's true, the story makes no sense. If the story is true, the car dealer could simply have reported the issue to the police and his bank after a few days or a few weeks maximum. The police and bank would investigate the case and probably return the money to the original source, and he can safely put the vehicle on the market once again. Waiting 2 years makes no sense at all.
Besides, the cost of vehicles have doubled in the last 2 years.

ZombieDredd:
dealer has done no wrong.

secure the vehicle he paid for and always maintain the car in good condition.

any year he shows up hand over the key for what he paid for.

simple..

It's not that simple. Maintaing and storage of the the vehicle costs money, a considerable amount for what matter. Who will bear the costs? What about insurance? What if the vehicle is damaged or even stolen while in the care of the dealer, will he be held responsible. In law, you take responsibility for items and services immediate you pay and obtain receipts of payment, unless there are binding agreements that give certain responsibilities to the seller.
If the buyer shows up two years after purchase without any other agreement, he is liable for maintenance and parking fees.

LegendHero:
Define illegality again for me.

The court already ruled and the woman has possession of the property. So why would Obi even go to another person property illegally to do useless video?

If na USA, he could get shooott for trespassing.

This is precisely why Nigeria continues to sink deeper into chaos—its people have lost their sense of decency, natural justice, and truth. We now glorify lies, deceit, cheating, and a “might is right” mentality.

In the United States, no court delivers judgments based on deceitful technicalities. No court would pass judgment without hearing from both parties. No court would rule against an accused person whose identity remains anonymous. In the U.S., everyone is entitled to their day in court—that is the standard of justice.

In this matter, we’re dealing with a property ownership dispute, not merely an issue of trespass. The accused has constructed a building and lived on the disputed land for years—possibly decades. Winning possession in the court of first instance does not automatically mean the case is closed. The law permits appeals all the way to the Supreme Court.

So, what happens if the accused eventually overturns the High Court judgment in a higher court? Will those who rushed to enforce a flawed decision be held accountable?

One can only hope that someday, those enabling such injustices will experience what it feels like to have a court judgment passed against them in absentia.

LegendHero:
The governor coming after Sanwoolu will not accept all this gaslighting Sanwoolu fell for.

Just watch out.

Soludo will demolish house, no noise. People take people to court and demolish houses in SE, no noise.

Why must there be noise everything things happen in Lagos whether it has government hand or not? Sanwoolu is the biggest “gentleman” governor in the history of Lagos.

So illegality should be condoned or accepted because it happens elsewhere? We are promoting a lawless country, where jungle justice and self help is the norm. A governor or government officials becomes the complainant, judge and executioner, without bothering about the judiciary.

LegendHero:
Demolishing the house of an invader is not injustice.

If I encroach on other people property, then the best thing is to obey the court and either settle out with them or face the consequences of demolition.

Obi should stop being a pettyy liar for heaven sake. What is his brother name?

It is. Demolishing a house without a court order specifying such is the height of injustice. What the court allegedly ordered was taking possession. Taking possession is not the same as demolition of property with occupants and possessions inside. If a court orders taking of possession, it will include time, date and how. Also a process server will serve the dependents to make them aware of the order.

SoftSport:
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?

balisa1:
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?

IyfeNamikaze:
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.

CoronaVirusPro:
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.

amaridigital:
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.

I was expecting to see Tompolo with handcuffs.
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.
