Recalling an elected lawmaker is practically impossible under the 1999 constitution as amended. Those attempting it are only wasting everyone’s time and resources. It was definitely going to fail.

This is Nigeria.
If there is a political will and full presidential backing, a senator can be successfully recalled.

The recalled member can seek legal redress but the outcome is not guaranteed to
be in their favor.

I pity Yahya Bello with his EFCC case.

He was given a simple task, to get Natasha recalled in exchange for freedom from EFCC.
Now that he has failed.
He is going to prison.

Ernchibyke:
See the countries here
I wasn't making a specific statement. I just wanted to get cleared and learn

The board displayed by Trump like everything about him is fake.
The fact that you posted it means you are not familiar with tariff.

Trumps Tariff is based on trade deficits with other countries and he
then choses the highest tariff figures to derive his own.
Those who export less than they import from US were heavily taxed
while those who import a lot from US were slammed with 10% flat rates.

Take the EU for example, there is a heavy tariff on agriculture import
and then lower tariff like 10% on cars and textiles.
Every other goods range from 0-5%.

That is how most countries operate.
If Trump was retaliating, he would have chosen some particular industries
of the "offenders" and then apply high tariff on them.

From your image, China imposes 67% tariff on US goods but this is a blatant lie.

richard870:
Really ...abeg, check Canada and China tariffs.....please take your time to research instead of digesting partisan reportage of the left-wing media

Nothing to digest.
You made a blanket claim and you can't even provide one example to back yourself.
I am not surprised, you are probably one of the victims of fake outrage media.
FYI, tariffs aren't secret but they count on you never asking questions and they are right.

Thundafireseun:
Lets watch and see ….

There shouldn’t be any room for blackmailers in our public spaces

I agree.
But I hope you know the meaning of blackmail and where it applies?

Tinubu, known for his strong influence in Lagos politics, was said to have taken a firm stance on the matter, in a clear support of Obasa leading to friction with the former governor. Sanwo-Olu’s aides confirmed that at least in one instance the President fumed in a phone chat with Sanwo-Olu during the Obasa, State Assembly Crisis that Sanwo-Olu would have to resign.

This compelled the Lagos Governor to procure the help of elders such as Chief Bisi Akande and Aremo Segun Osoba to appeal on his behalf.

Prior to this, rumors circulated that Sanwo-Olu had covertly supported Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), during the 2023 elections.

Useless paid article from Obasa.

He couldn't even pay people with brains for the hatchet job.

crystalpapers:
The EU has placed American products on tariffs for a long time and trump reciprocating now is evil, humans ehenn. I will advise people to study things on there own and not believe all they are told.

List the products and the actual tariffs.

RaySimran:
Because Nigeria contribution to world trade is as infinite as a pinch of salt

Again, you display your economic ignorance.
Nigeria's contribution to the world is significant.
Remove us from the scene and Americans will start crying about gas price.

Quarterpast:
This got me emotional.
I'm beginning to like this man.
God bless you, your Excellency.

Yeah.
The article was designed for emotional babies.
They don't want the readers thinking.

richard870:
That's exactly what he is doing. Wait a minute, are you saying it's okay for others to impose ridiculous tariffs on American products/services

List the others that impose "ridiculous" tariffs on all American imports.
We are waiting.

RaySimran:
The best response is that of the colombian President, others are whining.

There is no best response.
Each country responded based on how hard it hit them and how much power they have to retaliate.
Nigeria didn't even respond at all because they tariff will minimal effect on us.

Emeskhalifa:
Whatever makes his country great is cool.

Unlike here were our politicians won't mind selling off everyone including the country for their own selfish interests and greed

All this Trump worshippers.
How does this makes his country great?

Ernchibyke:
Pls I need clarification
How can a country that slams upto a 50% tariff on US imported goods be crying fowl that the US retaliated by imposing half(25%) of what those countries slammed on them.

Pls economist help

Why are you afraid of naming the country that did such?
When you see posts online always ask for evidence before helping
to spread misinformation.

Long ban loading.

dominique:
She's right, the money is enough to start a business without renting a shop. I don't know about other states but in Lagos, neighbourhood shops now go between 8-10k per month. Shops in busy areas, bus-stops and market places go for much higher and most landlords ask for 2 years rent upfront. The spending won't be on rent alone, she'll need to furnish the shop with chair, table, counters, shelves etc and make it look attractive to customers. She's only telling you the reality of things but you're here poverty shaming her. You strike me as the toxic abusive husband who will treat your wife like you're doing her a favour by marrying her. How I wish she can open her eyes and see how better she'll be far away from you.

If She has never seen 1 million in her life like OP claims, then she is clueless business wise.
Regardless of location, not every business must start with a multi-million Naira capital.

seunmsg:
Nigerians are really very funny people. Ordinary to build a befitting VP lodge in Abuja, the administration was attacked and insulted like Shettima will take the house away to Maiduguri after his tenure.

The public is right to question the use of public funds.

When Tinubu started the Eko Atlantic City and Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, Peter Obi and his supporters made it a daily routine to speak evil of the project. Now, same folks are here to praise Egypt for spending $58billion on a new capital city.

Don't mix the issue, there is little connection between Eko Atlantic and Coastal highway.
One is private driven while the other relies on public funds.
I have not seen anybody criticize Eko Atlantic.

RichBoy247:
Isn’t your village not more beautiful and technologically advanced than this? Those who say bad about their nation will not eat the fruit of the land

Does this extend to those who say bad things beforre 2015?

The release of the others is among the recommendations of a national conference held in February, [b]along with extending the rule of General Abdourahamane Tiani by five year[/b]s.

That's always the game.
After five years, hold another sham conference or referendum to extend by 10 years.

The deceased who shared three kids with Samuel separated from him but later got back with him in the first week of March and everyone thought they were in good and perfect terms

The pattern is quite common.
Run away due to violence and then return because of "love" or money.

ECOWAS will soon start begging them instead of having a spine for once.

ECOWAS will probably relax all restrictions on imports from these landlocked countries to gain their useless goodwill.
Not even the US commands such fear among its neighbors.

What a shame.

Why is this man hyperventilating ever since his outbursts?
Is he looking for attention or just suffering from guilt?

He even listed the things he has done for women as if anyone asked him.

Yankee101:
Don’t let the divided maps confuse you. Africa is the most resource rich continent in the world but is divided into smaller nations along colonial lines

When was Africa a single map political entity?

Sangoamadioha1:
Those guys were armed with Dane guns used by hunters all over Nigeria but you hear people saying they were armed as if they were found with AK 47 used by kidnappers.

Those dane guns can kill, maim and be used for kidnapping.
Wake me up when you find an armed Edo "hunter" in Kano.

P1PrinceKT:
What are they fearing for, The Country is with you now. If you don't divide it before you finish your 8 years that means you too are not ready.

Nobody is ever ready!
Because it doesn't make sense to give up power for uncertainty.

But should the circumstance force it, the result will be loud and the so-called
leaders won't be able to do anything.

Just check country's history, almost all divisions are triggered by spontaneous political
instability, it is rarely planned or as a result of people being ready.

So, the NEF better shut up and crawl back into their hole for their own good.

“Failure to do so will compel the North to take all necessary actions to seek justice for her people and the North,” it added.

See this idiots issuing threats.
They don't realize that the times have changed.
If they push too far, they may end up with what they fear the most.

NetbizBoss:
Show me any world bank, IMF or USAID interventions project in Africa that has ever been successful?

You should be the one to show the ones those that didn't work.
The sensational headline was designed for the lazy readers.
The project were built.
The fact that the price went up and it is not constant is not the same as failure.

Famous606:
No wonder Donald Trump have to pool out of world bank and international monetary fund .

All these Trump worshippers.
Why will Trump pull out of profitable banks?

Beremx:
this is 2025 and not 1972. Who still goes to the library to read books when you have the internet? Nonsense

Serious students still visit the library either for books hardcopy or soft copy access.
The internet is not a replacement for specialized knowledge as many
publications are still not digitized.

Moreover, your eyes can easily be damaged by screen light if exposed
for extended period, unlike books.

P1PrinceKT:
Form this headline alone, you will reason how an average Southerner thinks.

Isn't it funny from someone who believe they have a right to kill enmasse without consequence.
About 10 innocent mourners, not armed, just in their village, were killed by the usual suspects in Plateau on the same day, yet you hypocrites
were nowhere to be found.

Why will you ask such question? .

It is a very valid question.
Why are armed hunters traveling inter-states to hunt in a region with fewer wildlife?

If you can as well answer what is your people doing across the length and breadth of the North?
Then you can simply answer this one.

Were they moving about with arms?
If yes, they should all be arrested.

My respect for some southerners has reduced to minimal because when I read some comments they sound like from someone that just know how to write in English with out actually going to school(which is common there).

Your respect counts for nothing.
It is better to be alive than be "respected" don't you think?



Before you deflect to jungle justice argument.
I am totally against jungle justice even if the suspect was caught in the act.
They should have been handed over to the police.
However, your guilt-tripping via deceptive outrage is dead on arrival.

4. THE LAGOS INDEPENDENT POWER PROJECT AND ENRON SABOTAGE
Lagos, being Nigeria's economic hub, sought energy independence to ensure stable electricity for its industries and residents. However, the Federal Government, through the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), blocked Lagos from operating its own power grid, frustrating industrial growth and economic development.

This writer is likely too young to discuss the issue.
Enron turns out to be a fraud which end up destroying thousands of lives.
We should be thanking OBJ for saving Lagos from economic disaster.

Unless the original intention was to defraud Lagos state governance in connivance
with Enron, this shameful history should be kept hush hush.

You want to take us back to the dark era of minority oppression?
There are six and not three regions.

If it is the other way, natasha will say its sexual abuse.

Guilty conscience?
