Yes I will as I should.

This is what principled people like Atiku do.

Daddyyin:
Too much tears here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jagaban till 2031

SMerchant:
Look at his black face and you will see how dark his heart is.

ObaKlaz:
OP, calm down.
I tell you this with absolute certainty: those are RENTED CROWDS.

See delusion at its peak

Oga na Master! Gba fu Oga eeee. Even Otti is bowing to the Kings of govs, unlike the Agulu man with tiny voice. No gov in Nigeria can resist Tinubus achievements and brilliance. They are even coming to Lagos now to understudy administration. Some Village Boys might not like what Otti just admitted ooo. Hope they won't start abusing him?

Did Mc oluomo threaten IGBOS with his rants?.
Simple question and you are ranting aimlessly

delpee:
Sunday is looking for trouble....

He was loved for standing up for oppressed villagers in his LG area. What he's doing now, if true, will not be appreciated by most Yorubas.

esnbrutality:
Mc oluomo and his members did it. So forget your useless lies

Rebelutionary:
Which Wednesday biko? This week, next week, next next week?

givedemwotowoto:
Nigerians will regret not fighting back like their lives depend on it, if they let Tilumbu and his crew have their way again in 2027. Today is still Christmas compared to what is coming if he's re-elected without a "fierce" fight. You have to match their energy else they will destroy you completely.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Why are you more interested in Obi you hate than your candidate Tinubu

AsomughaChuks02:
I am just wondering the excuse that Peter Obi will give to his supporters on why he would degrade himself down to running mate of Atiku because that is where his ambition is tilting to.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. Obidients take note. Also remember Obi vowed he would not deputize any candidate and is only interested in running ad a Presidential candidate. Interesting times ahead.

Wealthyonos:
Obi will win Atiku any time any day.

SeeWahala:
Your fear of Peter Obi is the beginning of your elusive wisdom 🤗

NB: no write epistle for me as rebuttal o, I nor go read am 😏

Umar Ardo, Convener League of Northern Democrats, on Friday declared that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would win the African Democratic Congress, ADC, primary election if he contests.


Ardo made the remark while noting that if ADC would opt for a consensus candidate, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi and others would have to step down.

The elder statesman disclosed this while featuring on AIT’s Focus Nigeria.


According to Ardo: “If the whole election primaries, whether it’s direct primaries – I don’t see consensus happening though. If there is going to be consensus, it means that the contenders will have to step down; it would mean that Atiku, Peter Obi, Amaechi, and others would have to step down for somebody.

“Three or so would have to step down for one, I don’t know if Atiku would step down or Obi. Obi may likely step down but his support base would oppose that. Atiku’s support base would allow him to step down but he is not likely to do so.


“Peter Obi has the disposition to step down but the Obidient Movement would not allow that to happen and without the Obidients, Obi is nothing.

“Atiku’s support base may allow him to step down but himself does not have the tendency to step down. If all of them would go to the primaries then Atiku would win, be it by delegates or direct primaries. Atiku will 100 percent win the primaries even if they do it 100 times.”

Not at all, Africans had already been interacting with the rest of the world and so it was just a matter of time.

The civilization also in places like Benin in Nigeria, Timbuktu, Ethiopia, and many many other places was telling.

Mere interaction with the rest of the world which geography had placed some barriers on would have opened things up gradually all the same.

She's Yoruba when it is convenient for you other times she doesn't want anything to do with Yoruba.
Why don't you leave tribalism alone for a moment and see the overall importance or lack of it of what is being discussed?

DeepSight:
Up to Richtaiwo, Seunmsg, WizardofNG, Image123 and other BATists to defend.

These reforms, driven by pragmatism over ideology, meant Singaporeans sacrificed personal consumption and immediate political freedoms for industrial growth, infrastructural development, and, ultimately, high-income status.

Facing high unemployment, a lack of natural resources, and the departure of British forces, the government implemented strict policies focused on long-term survival rather than immediate popularity.

AMINDA:
If Labour party was allowed to be a viable political party as it was in 2023, there would have neen no need for a coalition today. In trying to be crookedly clever, your man Friday has shot himself in the foot. He is now desperate and has been trying to do whatever it takes to also destroy the ADC. He cannot win in 2027 unless he is the sole candidate on the ballot. Thanks to Tinubu, the first, second and third runners-up from 2023 have aligned under one umbrella. This was not the outcome he envisaged.

Thedon22:
Upon all his looting he still delivered the Red, Blue, Green, etc Rail Lines. Obi that did not loot, how many rail lines did he deliver in Anambra? None! Till tomorrow, Tinubus looted Lagos is still far ahead of all Nigerian states and leads in innovation. Lagos - Calabar Coastal Road is still moving at an unprecedented rate despite his looting of Federal monies, construction ongoing in every state of the country. Again, Obi that did not loot Anambra, show us the roads he built in his 8 years as Anambra gov? Let's be unbiased.

Sheuns:
A willing slave will die a slave. There’s no two ways about it.

Yankee101:
Only the blind strategist didn’t know that Saraki is as thick as thieves with the Tinubu family

CannibalEast:
You're engaging political bandits

duro4chang:
What trash did you just post now. Obi has been jumping from one party to another no be today nau. From APGA to PDP . So nobody disenfranchised him. He is a shameless politician.

AMINDA:
Allowed? Obi was a Southerner, why did Tinubu disenfranchise him from the Labour party if he wanted a fellow Southerner to contest against him? Saraki has shamelessly become a Wike lackey that is hell-bent on making the party not to field a presidential candidate, despite having zoned its ticket to the South.

EU ramps up Nigeria strategy with €290 million investment in broadband, pharma and agriculture

The European Union has unveiled a €290 million investment package for Nigeria, stepping up its economic and geopolitical engagement with Africa’s largest economy as global powers compete for influence across the continent.

The European Union has announced a €290 million investment package for Nigeria covering broadband infrastructure, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agriculture and migration programmes.

The funding, unveiled in Abuja, is part of Europe’s Global Gateway strategy to deepen economic ties and secure supply chains in Africa.

Most of the money will go into expanding fibre-optic networks to connect millions of Nigerians who lack reliable internet access.

Additional financing will support local drug production and cocoa and dairy value chains to boost exports and reduce import dependence.

The funding, announced during the eighth EU–Nigeria Ministerial Dialogue in Abuja, will finance projects in broadband infrastructure, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agriculture and migration management under the bloc’s Global Gateway initiative.

The programme is part of Europe’s effort to counter growing infrastructure and technology investments by other major powers while securing supply chains and expanding market access in Africa.

The largest share of the package, €131 million, will be used to expand Nigeria’s digital backbone, including the rollout of about 90,000 kilometres of fibre-optic cables to improve connectivity and digital services.

European officials estimate the project could bring reliable internet access to roughly 33 million Nigerians who currently lack stable connections, a gap seen as a major constraint on economic growth, digital trade and remote work.

The investment also supports Nigeria’s ambition to build a globally competitive technology workforce as it pushes to train millions of young professionals in digital skills.

EU backs Nigeria’s push for local drug production

Separately, EIB Global, the development arm of the European Investment Bank, signed a €50 million financing agreement with the Bank of Industry to support local production of pharmaceuticals, vaccines and medical devices.

Nigeria currently imports the majority of its medical supplies, leaving the country vulnerable to global supply disruptions, an issue exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bank of Industry chief executive Olasupo Olusi said the facility would help Nigerian firms scale manufacturing capacity and integrate into regional and global supply chains.

“This partnership marks a pivotal step in Nigeria’s journey from being a major importer of essential health commodities to becoming a competitive producer within regional and global value chains,” he said.
