.... not an indictment on Atiku's leadership and ability to hold his ranks



Mynd44, With all due respect, attributing Okowa’s defection to a failure of Atiku’s leadership is both intellectually lazy and politically dishonest. Let’s not pretend we don’t understand how Nigerian politics works especially under this calamitous and morálly bankrupt Tinubu administration.

Okowa was arrested by the EFCC on November 4, 2024, in connection with the alleged diversion of over ₦1.3 trillion in oil derivation funds during his tenure as Delta State governor from 2015 to 2023. He was also linked to an additional ₦40 billion LNG fund scandal. Fast forward a few months: Okowa defects to the APC, and surprise the once-vigorous corruption probe goes silent and trashed in a can

So let’s call this what it is: not a political indictment of Atiku, but a classic case of corruption laundering via defection a phenomenon that has become a trademark of the Tinubu APC-led government. Under Tinubu’s watch, the EFCC has become a revolving door for selective justice, where alleged looters find immunity through party loyalty.

If anything, Okowa’s defection is a damning reflection on theTinubu and APC’s credibility, not Atiku’s. After all, when a man facing fraud allegations worth trillions suddenly finds shelter in your party, it's not strength, it’s moral bankruptcy.

Is there anything else you dedicate your time to doing than wake up and look for stuffs to cry about online? Are you making any tangible progress in any facet of your life at all bro? I'm asking these from a place of genuine concern. You ALWAYS come across as sad and angry.

Do you have a woman in your life? Think you need to spend more time with her, or if you have the funds, go on a light vacation, get some new perspectives about life and the world around you. Earn some positive energy and change for a better .

How I wish Ogun state also produces a sensible governor that will move the state forward

There are more agberos in Onitsha than anywhere in Nigeria. Blind hypocrites

Nobody cares about Gumi's opinion, the two ministers of Defense are Northerners and Muslims. They have their full cooperation.

Dogalmighty17:
Gumi is a fool. It is very normal for spy agencies to have operations in every other country. There are active CIA cells in Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. The British MI6 too have cells of operation in Nigeria. Mossad will be slacking not to have operations in Nigeria.

Besides Nigeria is the hottest terrorist area of activity in the world right now so every intel agency worth its salt will have men on ground to keep tabs on what the terrorists are doing.

He warned that allowing Mossad to establish any kind of influence in Nigeria amounts to inviting danger into the nation’s security system.

He issued a direct caution to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, insisting that whoever advised him to support the partnership had misled him.

Obi is the most decorated failure of all time.

PulaPower:
Una dey see ham so?

Obi nah grade one scam! He stole alot of Anambra’s money and laundered it thru fidelity..

Igbo knows Obi is a pure scam but due to bigotry & tribalism, they changed mouth..

helinues:
Hahahaha, go and ask that same Igwe who he voted for in 2023.

South East voted based on tribalism in the last election because they knew Peter Obi failed as Anambra state governor

I be Yoruba but this is yorubalisation . Worse than buhari

just don't worry, what goes around comes around.
Some other tribe will take over some day soon.
Hope no one will complain

Penguin2:
The Bye Election has come and gone and winners declared by INEC .

But one thing that stood out to all political watchers is that the supposed coalition party candidates didn’t win any of the contested seats across the states. This has made naysayers to begin to write off the coalition already; declaring that 2027 is already a done deal for Tinubu. But is it?

Should we judge 2027 by results of this bye election? I guess not.

You know why? Because people are rarely interested in these bye elections unlike the general election where there’s usually almost a nationwide lockdown and people are eager to go out and vote.

Or should we expect that this is what 2027 will look like?

Few years ago, some people wanted into a church in Ogun State in SW, opened fire on the congregation and more than 100 people were killed.


Currently, Mahmuda terrorist group is wreaking havoc in Kwara State which is also Yoruba land.

The most amusing thing is, if you check any thread of the killings in Kwara, none of you Yorubas masturbating on this thread will say anything. Nothing gives you people happiness than hearing bad things happening in Igbo land, and this shows the kind of wicked hearts you lots possess.

Well, while you gloat about the few news of killings in igboland your entire region is getting encircled and over-run. The D-Day is coming

owobokiri:
Is that the reason why you support the massacres carried out by the APC?
Let's say that Peter Obi killed off every igbos, does that give you or one burdillion electoral ballot snatcher the right to do so too?
You don't want them in your Lagos. So They hurry back home to the east to form a new country, and you are also supporting the murderous attempts by the government to force them back to live with you Lagos! Shamelessly too!!!
What is the colour of your malaria!?

gidgiddy:
These are the people we share country with. The Nigerian Police are busy committing murder, this one is only interested in ethnic group of the Policemen committing murder

esnbrutality:
Ogbeni...face your region with it's attendant EPIDEMIC OF ritual killings.

The fact remains all deaths are deaths, but people fighting for their freedom and encountering stiff resistance from state apparatus and other sundry elements are better than a supposedly peaceful region of SW with an internationally recognized ritual killing spree.

So rest ...you will Never make us hate IGBOs.

Fellow Nigerians is strictly between you and the North , your masters.

Kewekubosineh:
You only wants to be cynical. Obi left office in 2015 and you are insinuating this happened during his reign.

I think you have Obi complex phobia.

You need to be serious with your life.

Barzinime:
You need rehabilitation!
Tinubu was the one that deployed the military?

Just as you said that CHINASA burnt down LAGOS?

BIAFRA for IGBOs and nationalities like us will materialize and we shall remind you then.

That is a promise...

The OP should provide us with pictures of those skull miners gave skullarship.
That way, we can provide RIP to their various destinations of disappearance.

Are you into kidnapping?

owobokiri:
The endless massacres of igbos by the Nigerian security agencies must be investigated. This has gone on for way too long that igbos all over the world must find ways to say "enough is enough". The killings have become so routine and casual mainly because no one is punished. Essentially, this practice has been normalised. Many have been killed at the endless checkpoints that liter the east. Breadwinners eliminated out of ethnic ha-te for the flimsiest of reasons.

This started during the civil war and has now become the favourite pastime of different security groups dominated by men from the north and the South west. Like I always say, unless igbos sit down and fathom the most ruthless way to push back, these killings will never stop. Igbos must fi-ght to dominate and control not just their own spaces in this country, but their destinies too.

Nigeria tops as Singapore’s West Africa trade surges 85% to $7.47bn.
August 18, 2025

Nigeria has emerged as the leader in economic expansion and employment opportunities in Singapore’s deepening trade relationship with West Africa, which has seen an 85 percent rise to $7.47 billion from 2020 to 2024.

A review of the growing collaboration between Singapore and West Africa shows Nigeria emerging as a key contributor.

Analysis of data from the United Nations Trade and Development (UNCTAD) revealed that as of the end of 2023, Singapore’s overall economic presence in Africa comprises more than $20 billion in foreign direct investment. And Nigeria currently stands as one of the leading 10 investment economies in Africa.

Additionally, the Asian nation’s involvement in Nigeria represents an approach that contrasts significantly with conventional foreign investment methods in the region.

Besides just trading goods, Singaporean companies emphasize generating local value and promoting sustainable development.

Enterprise Singapore has greatly assisted Singaporean firms like Tolaram Group and Valency in their operations within the Lagos Free Trade Zone. These firms have set up local factories and processing facilities, especially in Nigeria’s agri-commodities sector, a decision that enhances local industrial capability while promoting jobs and domestic economic strength.

In contrast to traditional investors who typically extract resources for overseas processing, Singaporean backed initiatives are establishing a foundation for inclusive development by ensuring a larger portion of the production value chain stays within Nigeria.

This approach aims to create sustainable jobs, cultivate local skill sets, and enhance domestic markets.

From 2020 to 2024, the exchange of goods between Singapore and Nigeria saw significant variations. It started at $727.2 million in 2020, increased notably to $1,277.3 million in 2021, and then fell to $712.1 million in 2022. The decrease persisted in 2023 with trade dropping to $410.8 million, but bounced back in 2024 to attain $679.1 million.

These numbers indicate the changing character of trade relationships and the developing investment environment between the two nations.

Even with variations in trade volume, Singapore’s dedication to Nigerian markets, especially in areas that promote sustainable development, indicates a long-term strategic outlook. Industry experts indicate that Nigeria’s pivotal position in West Africa’s economy renders it a desirable collaborator for investment strategies aimed at growth.

Singapore’s strategy in Nigeria could establish a standard for how global collaborations can address the host nation’s developmental needs while maintaining profitability.

PlayerMeji:
Jonathan; that was bullied out by the same set of people now, they want him to come back and finish his tenure and when he's done.. We will hear bring back Tinubu because he only has one more tenure under his belt...

Very funny people!

Jonathan knows that they want to use this campaign to get something from him... He will tell their leadership to count the numbers of people at the meeting and send something to them..

This is one of the reasons I love our people from the North, they are very good in politics and they know when and how to bend the knee when the need arises. Same Jonathan that was called many names because of Buhari, they went as far as killing and maiming people to oust him back then... Now, they have formed a coalition to hustle the man and get something from him, if na some people, shame and ego no go free them do this kin thing...

Safyqueen:
I can see you are just feeling it for your favourite. GEJ is qualified to be president again. What the Northerners need is power by 2031 and not necessarily 2027. It is only Atiku that need 2027 desperately not the entire north. Note the difference please.

If GEJ accepts to come out, the political equations and atmosphere will change in totality. Atiku will evaporates from the equation immediately in the north.

GEJ will become the 'Trump' of Africa and he will perform because he is more experienced in governance than baba Tinubu having seen victory then defeat then victory again and governance from inside and outside of office.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s backers in the All Progressives Congress on Thursday pressed on with the moves to field the ex-President as the APC’s consensus presidential candidate.

The Fulani group, which on Monday obtained the APC’s N100m presidential nomination and expression of interest forms for Jonathan, said on Thursday that it would submit the forms on Friday.
