Just imagine! The leadership and state institutions are all unaccountable. So how can there be progress? This country is a tragic-comedy

njokuuche77:
This is not just about politics—it’s about integrity. When a leader is accused of something as serious as sexual harassment, the honorable path is to confront it directly, not hide behind individuals whose reputations are already stained. Nigerians are watching, and we deserve truth, not diversion.

It's time to shift attention from Akpabio as there's no evidence for him to defend. The focus is now on Natasha, she has lots of evidences to defend.

She can start by answering why she's fond of deleting messages

Omenlon:
you believe Natasha but you don't believe Akpabio because as long Akpabio is in govt he your enemy no 1. You need prayers because this your mind set won't take you anywhere.

Even if Tinubu is indicted in the documents to be released tomorrow, Nigeria's corrupt supreme Court judges will proclaim him innocent and use technicalities to knock off the case.

Coldie:
If Nigeria government decides to really try Nnamdi Kanu as all of u are pushing for, Nnamdi Kanu would not survive it.

Now that Nigeria government is just dragging its feet, just adjourning the case up and down waiting for what circumstances that would change in his favour.

Convicting Nnamdi Kanu is a very easy task to do.

You people should not push ur luck. Receipt to convict Nnamdi Kanu too plenty.

gidgiddy:
The reports coming out the court room in Nnamdi Kanu’s trial reads like something out of a book of jokes. The Federal Government is not actually charging Kanu for anything he did, but for what he said. All the charges are that between 2018 and 2021, "Nnamdi Kanu said this or that on Radio Biafra".

But what makes the whole thing funny is that at court today, rather than present their case, the FG called a DSS officer who came to talk about how he arrested Nnamdi Kanu in a Hotel in Lagos in 2015

You are in court about what you said a man uttered on a Radio station between 2018 and 2021, but you are busy talking about how you arrested the same person in 2015? Something that has nothing to do with present case! What is that?

So next court hearing, you will call Kanu's primary school teacher to talk about how he flogged Kanu in 1975? This whole trial is a farcical joke

I think this whole thing is just an act to waste everyone's time because the FG have no case.

Get your brain tested. They didn’t say it’s a crime, they are using her as a witness.

Probably the woman was planted.

Edoreborn:
This is outright rubbish..let me use myself as an example,,i married a woman that is very manipulative..She was very good outside but she gave me shege when we were alone..The problem started when she started visiting abuja frequently..She started comparing me with others to d extent that i saw numerous chat with men..i kept my cool because i loved her.. Meanwhile she was painting as a demon in front her family to d extent d ones in London would call dt they heard how av being calling them all sort of names..


To cut d whole story short,,d abuja lifestyles changed her n she started seeing other men..Pls,,men tolerate a lot in marriages..my only lucky charms why i didn't take laws into my hands was to relocate back to lag..What u don't see doesn't kill..story long sha.. inshort,,fear women...

South East Records Highest Female Hypertension Cases in Nigerian Households – NBS Report

The South East region has emerged with the highest proportion of female household members living with hypertension, according to the 2023/2024 General Household Survey (GHS) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Data released by Statisense shows that 4.6% of households in the South East reported female members suffering from hypertension—the highest rate among all geopolitical zones. This was closely followed by the South South at 4.4% and the North West at 3.6%.

In comparison, male household members in the South East recorded a hypertension prevalence of 3.6%, which is also the highest among Nigerian men, ahead of the South South (2.9%) and North Central (1.4%).

The figures reveal a consistent trend of higher hypertension cases among women than men across most regions, with the South East leading on both fronts. The lowest female hypertension rate was recorded in the South West at just 0.8%, while the North East posted the lowest male rate at 0.9%.

The findings call for increased awareness, screening, and health interventions in the South East, particularly among women, to address what appears to be a growing public health concern.

The fuel subsidy removal worked.

We are returning to low prices without having to pay $10 billion in annual fuel subsidies, to keep prices artificially low.

What we are witnessing is the return of ORGANIC low prices based on simple Supply and Demand like every other normal country, not on artificial fuel subsidies.

Fantastic development which frees up money for development of our great nation.

Nice logic and premise, but a reformed judiciary would have render this argument infallible. Even the supreme Court that is supposed to be the final arbiter are now delivering questionable judgement. So, judicial reforms first...

BREAKING: House Of Rep Reject Bribery Allegations Linked To Rivers State Of Emergency

The House of Representatives has strongly dismissed the circulating allegations that each member was offered a bribe of up to $5,000 to approve President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s request for the declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State.

In an interview with journalists in Abuja on Saturday, Deputy Spokesman of the House, Hon. Philip Agbese (Benue, APC), refuted the claims, describing them as entirely false, malicious, and originating from “the pit of hell.”

Hon. Agbese emphasized that the House’s resolution on the declaration of a State of Emergency in Rivers State, passed on Thursday, was driven by a deep sense of patriotism and a commitment to restoring lasting peace to the region.

He stated, “The accusation that members of the House of Representatives were bribed with $5,000 to support the resolution is completely unjust and unfair to Parliament. It is, indeed, very unfair. What we did on Thursday was in line with what I would describe as the wisdom of King Solomon.”

“The House of Representatives remains an independent institution guided by democratic principles, the rule of law, and the collective will of the Nigerian people. Our duty is to make decisions that align with the national interest, not to succumb to baseless distractions aimed at eroding public trust. The allegations of bribery are a desperate attempt to discredit the House and must be dismissed as the political comedy that it is.

“What the President did was like what King Solomon did when the two women who were fighting over the propriety of a child came to him. These people in Rivers, are all interested in the progress and development of Rivers State. They love the state, and they are working hard for it. But one way or the other, disagreements arose among the parties which escalated, and Mr. President, in his wisdom, decided to impose a state of emergency, for a period of time so as to allow the two parties to come together, in order to further deepen our democracy.”

He said as members of Parliament interested in the peace and well-being of the people of Rivers State, they approved the State of Emergency declaration in Rivers out of patriotism and not for any pecuniary consideration as being alleged.

“We have seen some of the developments in River State. The government is not doing badly. But what we are saying is that, we don’t want the breakdown of institutions as far as River State is concerned.

“We deployed our wisdom as a Parliament, not to pander to sentiments or views expressed by groups outside. Yes, we are a people’s Parliament. We listen to the voices of Nigerians. Of course, there are people who say the state of emergency by Mr. President is wrong. There are those who also believe that it was done in the right manner to ensure that there is peace in that state.

“As a Parliament, our interest is to form a bridge, to ensure that our democracy continues to work. As a Parliament, our interest is to protect our democracy and democratic institutions. We resolved as a Parliament to make certain amendments to the proclamations made by Mr. President.

He said the Parliament in its wisdom made some key adjustments to Mr President’s emergency proclamation before ratifying it.

“One is that, the Parliament remains the law-making body as far as the country is concerned. We resolved that the National Assembly would take over the legislative duties of the Rivers Assembly within the period of time that the state of emergency is enforced.

“Secondly, we resolved as a Parliament that it must not necessarily be for six months for the parties to come together and resolve. Even if it is within two weeks, that these parties are able to resolve their differences and show that they are on the same page, Mr. President, in his wisdom, should also reduce the period from 180 days.”

Hon. Agbese said he believes that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a true democrat, will not work against democratic institutions in the country.

“We know Mr. President very well. He is a democrat. He has fought for the institutions of our democracy as far as Nigeria is concerned. And he is one man who would always want to protect this democracy. He is a President that we know as a Parliament.

“We have been relating with him as the President of the country for the past almost two years now. We have been relating with him as our President. We have seen his concerns. The 10th House of Representatives has seen the the genuine concerns and we believe and trust that if these issues are resolved in less than six months, Mr. President is going to put an end to the state of emergency in that state.”

Traditional rulers should stay off politics.
As Elders, they not expected to take sides or be issuing statements like this.
Instead of finding means if settling the feuding parties, they busy doing something else.
