If you check Wike's response, it's evident that this man allocated land to his sons.
Abuse of power!
Not just residential but whole lot for a big company.

You only confirm the claim that prejudiced people only see and hear what they wish to see or hear.

Otherwise, where in Wike's response makes it "evident" that he allocated land to his sons?

doncartel:
All Rivers people know that Wike is so corrupt that he’s quite capable of stealing such money. Atiku should please expose him more.

Lol. Atiku is now your favourite anti-corruption whistle-blower ba?

I can bet your foray into Nigerian politics began after Obi became Labour candidate in 2022 or after Tinubu won in 2023 to make you determined to hate him and anything/anyone affiliated with him.

Agugbadin:
But did you allocate such a large portion of land to them, yes or no.

Why are you asking questions on a public forum that exposes your ignorance and disinterest in reading/researching to gain knowledge?

oz4real83:
But oga wike swear by the gods of the land, is the allegation flying round about the land true?

How many times has the allegations been debunked officially and exhaustively yet you people continue to insist Wike has a case to answer?

Very commendable, plastics pollution in Lagos is too much.

The plastics waist in the lagoon is sore.

Indeed. The move is long overdue. If you don't force the hand of Nigerians, who are naturally very stubborn and unruly, progress will never be made.

I had a driver who used to toss everything out of the car. Food waste, satchet water bags, PET bottles etc.

I warned him several times about the need to find a bin for his waste because that is best for environmental sanitation that is the duty of everyone.

Even if we are near my business premises or residence, with bins he can use, he'd still toss stuff on the road.

He would joke that he needed to give road sweepers and cleaners work to do. In the end I sacked him. Last year. Still calls and text till today pleading for re-employment.

10billionDollar:
This will further skyrocket the cost of living in rural and urban areas.
For instance since there's a ban on sachet water, low income earners will be forced to pay more to buy bigger plastic bottle water

Please, kindly refrain from spreading misinformation. Lagos has expressly and publicly clarified that satchet water and PET bottles are excluded from the ban.

How do you focus on peripherals when you have not dealt with the basics?
What did ebilokan and his placeholder successors do with the 80 times increase in budget, due to IGR squeezed out of the masses, for 26 years if we still have to drink shitty water from boreholes in compounds with sewage septic soak away tanks?

Why have they all failed to employ engineers, technicians, accountants, clerks, layers, secretaries, billing agents etc for the past 26 years to make pipe borne water available to all Lagosians?

As usual, you are always quick to assault others with your bitter, hateful and ignorant doom-mongering. The ban of SUPs in Lagos does not affect satchet water that remains one of the main ways average Nigerians drink potable water.

Disliking a Government is one thing but rushing always to discredit everything said government does, with lies and misinformation, points to mental health issues and personalised hatred. You need professional help.

Diego35M:
bruh, atiku is a worse option than tinubu. You better forget about tribalism and vote Peter obi, he's our only savior among these 3 guys stop being tribalistic and talk of what will help Nigerians...

Obi is worst. He is a sycophantic coward and weakling who will be nothing but a 'yes man' to the North, worse than Jonathan, in power.

Tinubu, the strongest and most independent-minded Southern leaders IMO, will continue in 2027.

When he has fully put in place initiatives and policies to ensure we can all be fully responsible for our own optimal security, unlike what happens under Fulani Presidents where herdsmen have AK47 and the rest of us are sitting targets in our land and homes because we are denied same, then thayvis when power can go to the North.

This is an existential and socio-economic liberation battle not to be left in the hands of a coward and Northern slave like Obi.

How you guys cannot see the scary dimension Nigeria is taking and what must be done to reverse such, that a Northern President will/can never sanction, is beyond me.

I can only conclude hatred of "Yoruba President" is strong enough to blind you to see what is progressively best for you and your generations unborn and the kind of President who can deliver such.

JagabanBorgu:
I really wonder how people understand the presidency or government in Nigeria.

Don't mind them. Some will remain blaming the President for everything always, while ignoring their Governors and LG Chairmen the FG has funded and empowered immensely, till they leave the earth frustrated, misgoverned and miserable.

No nation is as bad as Nigeria, in my opinion, for the idiocy of focusing on one office alone, I.e the Presidency, whereas clear and distinct tier of governments exist that have specific and distinctly different duties and responsibilities to the people they must be held accountable for by the electorate.

To be honest, I no longer pity Nigerians. They are wicked and most times unfairly, bigotedly and malevolently focused on others deliberately because of ethno-religous hatred of their fellow Nigerians

Today and forever, my focus is for my region, I believe to host mainly reasonable and balanced folks, to gain regional autonomy so we can practice democracy properly, with the right synergy between leaders and followers, to deliver a prosperous and socio-economically progressive geographical space

Others who are bigoted will be left fighting their shadow once we are in a regionally autonomous system where it must be about holding your regional Premier, plus immediate and local leaders, accountable whether you like it or not.

omoredia:
No wonder the bIack race can never move forward for a long time. These are people that will say there is no money to develop their own country but u can waste money to fund trips that have no benefit to Nigerians. Sad

Na your money dem dey spend? Abeg learn to live and let live plus mind your business. You will live long and succeed doing that.

nairalanda1:
Better stop explaining to NIgerians. They don't understand the concept of being sentimental, and they also love to make mountains out of molehils.

The simple truth is the guy wanted to be buried next to madam. Strange, but all over the world, there are men and women whose wish for their burial is 'bury me next to me spouse'.

But this is Nigeria, most of us think that marital love is something to be viewed with cynicism.

(I admit part of it is part of the usual...Northerners are evil banter).

Precisely. Perfectly normal to wish to be buried near his wife. Also, how strange is it to amebo Nigerians that a devout Muslim wants to be buried in one of the two holiest Cities in Islam?

Medina is where Prophet Muhammed , the founder of Islam, is buried. How is it odd for Aminu Dantata to wish to be buried in the same City with Prophet Muhammad and his wife who is already buried there?

Nigerians are annoying busybodies who will not allow others make choices they are fully entitled to without giving their unwanted opinion, usually negative, over what others should do or not.

Have you noticed how two people arguing on a Nigerian Street can easily turn into 50 people fighting and arguing because Nigerians never mind their business and must always get involved to take sides or join the fracas?

aswani:
No one is telling him how to live or watching his every move. You Obidients are the ones jumping up and down saying they should leave him alone because he is a private citizen, of course the government has a right to respond everytime he drags them in his quest for needless "empty barrels make the most noise" attention seeking.

Per your last paragraph, Peter Obi is the one making himself a problem. Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am.

Precisely. Should slander and deliberate lies against the Government be tolerated from Obi?

RealityKings1:
Just like the joke "baby just let me put the tip"...


2 more characters needed

Lol. All the way to unwanted pregnancy and child support payment 😅😆🤣

Softmirror:
WizardOfNG 😂. You are funny sha. Honestly you are very funny. Then, had Dantata died in Nigeria would his family have still chosen to fly his body to be buried is Saudi Arabia?

Yes is the simple answer. Look below to note circumstances where transport is permissible for Moslems to be buried away from where they died and focus on "family wishes".

Meaning if he had died in Nigeria then his family, with the immense wealth and means available to them, would likely have moved to Bury him in Saudi Arabia as Dantata wished.

I simply cannot understand the sort of mental laziness affecting you Nigerians to the extent you cannot do less than 10 seconds of research.

Must be the reason a lot of Nigerians similarly wait for government to feed and even wipe their bottom for them only to turn to crybabies when such is not possible.

gidgiddy:
So what's your business where he wants to be buried? Are you related to him?

Lol. You are something else. Is this pedestrian response all you can say after being exposed for ignorant misinformation?

I don't care where Aminu Dantata chose to buried. His choice. My response was to address your penchant for near-illiterate and erroneous utterances always.

Guy, fix up. Anyone who has closed their minds to working on being a better and more effective human being might as well be dead. Learn to do basic research before rushing to talk or take sides.

gidgiddy:
Muslims usually bury their fellow Muslim the same day they die, wherever they die. It's not about country

It really is irritating how you never attempt to even think, let alone do minimum research, before you rush to talk or post.

Dantata has not been buried in Saudi Arabia because he died there.

Dantata specifically requested to be buried in Medina wiith his wife. Yes it is about the Country for Dantata and apparently some members of his immediate family as his wife is already buried there.

One can only assume how many things you get wrong in your private life when you obviously never make an effort to gain and use facts.


https://dailypost.ng/2025/06/29/saudi-arabian-govt-approves-burial-of-dantata-in-medina/

“It has been confirmed that Aminu Alhassan Dantata will be transported from Abu Dhabi to the holy city of Madinah for his final rites. Authorities have granted the necessary approvals for the transfer, and preparations are underway for the Janazah (funeral prayer), scheduled to take place tomorrow morning, Insha Allah,” Junaidu stated.

Junaid explained that it had been the will and wish of the late Dantata to be buried in Medina close to the grave of his wife.

DomPerignon:
In both nuisance level and in demarketing himself.

Giving Giringory a mic, is like giving a suicidal individual a sturdy rope amd a rickety chair.


As the great war strategist and Chinese General , Sun Tzu wrote in his book: The art of War, all Tinubu has to do is "never to interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".

Giringory will fizzle out by 2027 faster than Minni Vannilli .

Lol. I am a big fan of The art of war. Clearly a book the shop trader Obi never had the time nor interest to read.

Pretty sure he's never heard of Robert Greene's "48 laws of power" either.

The man is so ignorantly self-destructive that one can only conclude he makes no deliberate and conscious attempt to get better results and successes as a leader.

Now we all have to endure his infantile attention-seeking nuisance daily because of the madness of a region that chooses her worst (Azikiwe, Ojukwu,Kalu, Abaribe, Kanu,Ekpa, Obi etal) to lead them at all times.

Food4Thought:
Your BAT did what he knows best- doctored voice.See where your BAT desperation has got us.Does the hardship and insecurity respect religion,tribe and region? Unfortunately,the answer is a very BIG NO.You and I are in for the mess your BAT has soaked Nigerians in.

You are the one in a mess. Not me. I am an informed and exposed realist.

Meaning I fully understand what is unavoidable and must happen for Nigeria to transform from a fatally injured Caterpillar ,about to die, into a beautiful Butterfly.

Food4Thought:
The doctored voice you meant?

Lol. Whatever floats your boat buddy.

Cyberterror:
You say that there are no saints among politicians and that Peter Obi is a "lesser devil" yet in the same sentence you call him His Excellency. Na wa for you Obidients. You keep contradicting yourselves trying to sell this fraud that Nigerians are not buying.

Lol. I spotted this also. The deceptive and hypocritical nature of these people na 'follow come' from birth.

Perhaps he will now lie he does not know the meaning of "excellency" he uses to qualify Obi who is obviously his personal 'Messiah'.

JagabanBorgu:
Tinubu is supposed to deliver the money to your door steps?
When we say mind the kind of people you vote as governors, you will tell us that the presidency is what matters the most.
Allocations to your state governors has been increased, what is the end result?
Ask your state government.

The guy you responded to is a glorified illiterate. The FG must disburse allocation judicously to other tiers of Government, i.e State and local government, judiciously and without delay for adressing States and local Governments issues. As simple as that.

yemre:

Imagine the thinking of these people! A Nigerian president now empowering states to provide infrastructure in every state so that development can go round now has committed another offense!

Later, you people will still come online to say that one region is neglected because of tribal sentiments and what not.

Some people are just beyond redemption because there's absolutely nothing you do for them that they don't read hateful meaning to.

Some people are just meant to be ignored. Smh

The bolded is what some of us have been saying for ages and the reason I personally have no time or inclination to ever be polite to Obidients.

A people who jubilate every negative about Nigeria and attack every good development for her are wicked and evil enemies of progress.

I have no time for people like that. Their criticism is never objective to make such acceptable as something that is their right to air as patrotic people who mean well for Nigeria.

It is always of the type you responded to whereby FG disburse vastly greater sums of money for States to utilise, as all Nigerian leaders and followers have prayed for since 1999, yet some still find a way to spin that a negative development because of hate for Tinubu or perhaps his ethnicity

Some people are indeed beyond redemption and totally damaged goods.

Food4Thought:
What is your BAT doing in Saint Lucia?

Lol. Desperation is problematic. Read the thread title again.

Food4Thought:
And your intelligence is from the devil if only what you could do is mix religion with politics.Grow up young man.

You don't get it. I am not even overly religious and actually want Nigerians to be less religious.

My point is that religion is a serious matter in Nigeria and we can't hide from that fact. Obi tried to use this concept to get Oyedepo bully his considerable congregation to vote him by suggesting the 2023 election must be spun as a "religious war" where Christians must vote Christian candidate.

Of course Northerners like Sarki, as Obi tried to do, are allowed to exploit the extreme religious inclinations of Nigerias by highlighting Obi's horrendous misyarn against Islam in hope of electoral profit. Obidient should not disturb us with hypocritical noise over something all sides are guilty of.

They wish to bait Christians against Tinubu's Muslim-Muslim ticket and whip up sentiments over "Islamization" of Nigeria but do not see how others are entitled to do same against Obi. I made my point crystal clear with the quote below from my post you quoted.

You and others clearly did not comprehend the message that no one is innocent and no one should complain since politics is about electoral victory with every side doing all they can to overcome others.

Obidients should man up and stop crying hypocritically like their messiah who is the biggest hypocrite in Nigerian politics ever..

Politics is cold and brutal as it is about electoral victory over others.

Ikaeniyan0:
Fuel is cheaper in Lagos, compared to other states.

Indeed. That is the reason this thread is not even one to discuss. It's main trust is false, i.e fuel cheaper in the SE than SW, meaning nothing to discuss

okpouman:
Nigeriaa have allowed some segment of the country to sell them into SLAVERY.

The president of the biggest black nation in the world is now on a state visit to a very small country.

Omo Nigeria Na big disgrace

Not by force to post bro. Hope you are aware of that?

Celestialsword:
Money on paper and projects not seen on ground.

Propaganda at it's highest,

Since nearly all the states in the federation are now in the rulling party, nobody can debunk this claim

Empty and logic-bereft argument. Even if only one non-APC Governor exists, then let said Governor succefully deny the FG has indeed disbursed more money than ever before, for infrastructure and security use, and we can admit you have a point.

As it stands, several Governors are non-APC leaders. If they have not denied receiving more, then your senseless claim against APC Governors make sense how?

Crystal clear you lack objectivity and are likely another prejudiced Nigerian, perhaps an Obidient, who wants all blame for misgovernance, everywhere and at everywhere level, focused on the FG and Tinubu always.

Rather than Governors who get far more money now, than ever before, and local Government chairmen the Tinubu-led FG, as no other before him had done, went to court to liberate from the dictatorial control of Governors that had left our local government, more that 750 in number, impotent and essentially worthless tier of Nigerian governance for decades.

tosyne2much:
I hope state governors will start being functional and vibrant with funds being allocated

Soon, little blame would be put on FG and more on state governors

As it should be because the FG, under PBAT, is responsibly providing every State with 2 to 4 times more allocation than they had ever received before.

The FG is providing operationl funds for all the six newly-created regional development commisions also.

Nigerians should begin holding their Legislators, local Government Chairmen and Governors to account far better than they are doing currently if they want good Governance.

The clearly defined tiers of Governance in Nigeria are Federal, State and local government levels. Nigerians should be cognisant of this reality to then hold the appropriate leaders responsible according to the tier of governance their problem falls under.

Food4Thought:
And the north should learn a huge lesson from the muslim-muslim ticket which has even produced the worst per of presidency since 1999.The north should be weary of people like Sarki.He is an enemy of the north because the elite and corrupt politicians have paid him to destroy the north by playing the regional and religious card.What has the north benefited from the muslim-muslim ticket? The north shouldn't fall a fool for the second time. If you want to succeed in politics then don't mix it with religion.

Do people like you have no shame or decency?
What you are doing is desperate, unprincipled, unintelligent and pedestrian . Politics is cold and brutal as it is about electoral victory over others.

If you are a pragmatic and critical thinker then you will know Obi goofed to understand his ambition cannot profit from arrogant dismissal of those, like Sarki, raising valid points about the unsuitability of Obi to be President of multi-religious and mutli-ethnic Nigeria.

Till today , the'messiah' you defend blindly has not accepted responsibility for his vile and offensive utterance let alone apologise. Yet you continue touting such an irresponsible and dishonest individual "best President" material.

You guys are all just unprincipled,scary and very desperate.

omenka:
In fact ask him who does so more than the "yes daddy" and "christians take back your country" lying grandpa.

Honestly, I can't understand how Obi fans reasons. I find them militant in mentality and dangerous. No different to Boko Haram fundamentalists.

Their messiah wishes to lead a multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation. Yet he has been exposed making hate speech against a major religion in Nigeria. I.e Islam.

That is an immediate politial 'retirement' offence in sophisticated climes yet Obi fans continue to show arrogance arguing he is best. These people are really dark, desperate and scary.

Can you imagine a white politician in the USA, wishing to contest to be Governor of Altanta or Chicago, announcing the upcoming guber election is a "race war" and that White folks must "take their State" back?


He is done the minute that recording is public because no voter will consider casting a vote for a racist who will be unfair to black folks.

Same way most Nigerians, if adequately evolved and sophisticated, will not vote Obi who has shown open prejudice against Islam he considers a religion to "war" against.

How can Obi, after that vile talk, be viewed a leader who will be fair to Moslems or the North as President? God help Nigeria sha because obvious we are still very backwards.

I.e a nation full of people who are very toxic enemies of each other and see leadership as a way to dominate and subjugate others they hate. This is why I am a relentless supporter of regional autonomy.
