Obi was labelled bitter politician by APC supporters for not wishing Soyinka Happy birthday, yet I have not seen happy birthday from Tinubu, Bayo and the rest.

You don't expect what you can't give. You have said it all yourself, and the question you should ask yourself is that, " has Obi ever wish those you are accusing happy birthday "?

If the answer is yes, they are bad people, and if the answer is no, then they are not doing wrong.

Ok. Govt will still increase fuel price..... It's only a matter of time.

The fuel is now sold between 715 - 900 per litres, so it is already on increase as a result of scarcity.

I am afraid what is coming might be bigger than the current hardship we are facing now. Governments as a matter of urgency must allow cheap importation of foods.

BlindAngel:
It seems I have been too easy and quiet on her, I will do as you say and ban her from going to that church and if she refused, she should pack her load and go back to her parents house, I have really condole enough of her rubbish and tears at any slight arguments.

I paid 396k for her cs operation, and no where my name or surname appeared on the receipt that was given to me, it's her name and her father's name that was on it. This is because after marriage she has not changed her surname to my name, this hurt me a lot because her elder sister that is just a baby mama to her boyfriend has already changed her Facebook sur name to her boyfriend surname. Whereas my wife is still answering her father's name, I have told myself that if she can't think and do this willingly, I will never and ever confront her concerning this.

I have been allowing her to do whatever she want but this, she has over stepped her boundaries, seems I have been too easy on her.

Where una dey see this type of wife sef.

She doesn't fear and respect you, that is why. A homely or respectful woman will always support her husband decisions pertaining issue you are fighting on. As a head of the family you have every right to invite your own pastor. She also have a right to do so but that must be after you have agreed to her request.

Besides, you made a mistake by arguing with her. You should've simply tell her to bring her own pastor too only after you must have concluded naming program with yours. I am very sure her pastor himself will tell her not to worry again after hearing that.

That’s what Bul@ba is trying to do now. Fake democrat

He hijacked LP, used Wike to hijack PDP, even APGA was not spared.

These structures of criminality cost money to maintain, and Nigerians are paying for them with hunger and extreme poverty from harsh anti-people policies

He learnt from his mentor

This your picture always make me laugh when I remember baba Tinubu still claiming 70 something in 2024.

iLoveYouToo:
The #1 cause of underdevelopment in Nigeria is the governors, it surprises me how anyone would want to support them.

They have been stealing LG funds since 1999. Some have consistently refused to conduct elections, accusing them of not knowing what to do with funds, yet turning around to loot those funds.

In 12 years governorship would be scrapped, they should getat


It’s better to empower 774 people than 36


Now the anti-graft agencies need to step their game up, daz all

It is better to ignore some fools who are only bitter because this administration are doing what will bring progress to the country. Still wondering too how a rational being will support these hopelessly corrupt governors.

I have always been saying it on Nairaland for the past two years that if Nigeria must process, state governments need to go or eradicated. Despite getting significant amount of money from proceed of fuel subsidy removal, these governors did absolutely nothing to cushion the effects on people living in their states. All the palliatives and social programs channel through them by Federal government are always embezzled or manage poorly. Infact this state government is a liability and curse to both humans and capital development in Nigeria.

Nigeria is not going anywhere, until we revert back to regionalism or just Federal government and 774 local governments.

Killerofpigs:
What crisis? Was SDP disbanded?

Tinubu ditched SDP and formed AD witg other people and hijacked it totally when he became LAGOS State Governor.

So what are you trying to twist now?

Internet has exposed all your lies..

If you like employ 200000000000000000 monikers with jobless youths to spill bigotry. It will NEVER change known facts..

Anytime YORUBA people accuse you of something know that they are very much guilty of it...

Na wa for una..

They are correcting you, yet you still not listen to correction. SDP was only transmitted to AD, later AC and ACN. They are just changing names and not parties. Same way majority of NRC members and SDP members from the North formed PDP.

Tinubu is the only politicians alive that have not change political platform since inception of forth Republic.

sleek214:
Both of them made the right choice. Lalong just want a peaceful retirement lifeso he opted for the senate. Umahi still want to be seen in the public, controlling a full ministry that has a budget as big as Ebonyi state so he opted for the ministerial appointment

Agreed both made a very wise and good decisions.

Lalong knew his candidature was very unpopular and could be replace within a year or two, while Umahi was very certain he would remain a minister for 4 years.

sulaak:
As long as the food is imported, hard currency will be required to finance importation, logistics, and storage. The food will always be expensive, and considering the potential world conflicts, access to imported food from Asia and South America will also be difficult.

To be clear, Nigeria has to take loans to import food because the country is broke and lacks basic infrastructure.

Once you open the door to food importation, the local industry will die just like the importation of textiles, and the second hard automobile destroyed the local textile and automobile industry.

Is like you are not footing the bill at home or just one lucky man who has enough money to buy food.

Majority of us are not daft, we understood the basic economic that you and your so called experts are saying but things don't work like that in third world countries.

Major imported foods business are done by individuals or companies, so government has no business borrowing money to import foods. Import duty and embargo placed on foods make it more expensive in Nigeria. Go and check the price of this items especially Rice from Thailand and Benin Republic and convert it into naira.

Remman:
After attacking him via court which is not working, they've resorted to physical attack, then quickly run to social media to claim innocency. It just means these guys will fail against Trump in all ramifications. I think the real beast of a problem to democracy here are the Democrats who has turn US politics to cat and dog republic. They said Trump is a threat to democracy because they know he'd probe their asses for the crimes they've committed, so they want to eliminate him by all means. They first thought he'd be jailed but luckily, the US judiciary is not easily controlled like that of Nigeria. My support is fully for Trump and he'll win Biden hands down, because the more they attack him, the more they give him supporters.

Fortunately, they don't think or reason like you. The mentality of ethnics demagogue has eaten up into our system that will attribute every incident to witch hunt or politics.

Shooting happens everywhere in America, and this could be one Trump hater who is probably battling with depression. Leave America politics for them and face your God forsaking mentality and superstition.

sulaak:
Food prices are directly linked to insecurity across the country, such as the lack of mechanised farming and fertiliser. Food importation will not reduce the cost of food, and Nigeria will be too poor to afford the imported food.

Nigeria needs better leaders than the rubbish in APC government.

Imported foods would be much cheaper withoout duties, tariff or bribing of customs. Besides, local products are not any cheaper, so the best bet is to allow massive importation to create healthy competitions between local farmers and importers.

jubrilELsudan:
BUNCH OF IDIOTS

LIKE SAY NIGERIAN FARMERS NEVER USE DIA HAND TAKE DESTROY AM

TELL US WHY A BAG OF LOCALLY GROWN AND PRODUCED NIGERIAN RICE WILL BE ALMOST THE SAME PRICE WITH FOREIGN IMPORTED RICE

TELL US WHY A PAINT OF NIGERIAN GROWN BEANS WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A PAINT OF FOREIGN IMPORTED RICE

TELL US WHY A MISERABLE TINY TUBER OF LOCALLY GROWN NIGERIAN YAM COST 3 THOUSAND NAIRA

TELL US WHY A BASKET OF NIGERIAN GROWN TOMATOES WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A BASKET OF IMPORTED TOMATOES FROM BENIN REPUBLIC

TELL US WHY NIGERIAN KUKUNASE WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FOREIGN KUKUNASE

You are right 100% , expecting price of foods to come down by Nigeria farmers is a waste of time. Nigerians are just too greedy, you don't give them opportunity and expect a better result. Even ordinary rosted corn that we use to buy cheap this period has suddenly become an expensive item.

CrossRhodes:
You are assuming the LG chairmen will not embezzle like governors too?!

No matter the level of embezzlement, they will still do alot of works in their area of jurisdictions. They are easily accessible, once people are aware of what they get from federal government each month, it will be difficult for them not to attend to the people's needs

Besides, local governments chairmen and councillors are mostly people born and breed in the same locality. People know them in and out, they can confront them if there is need to, unlike emperors governors.

happney65:
Leave them make them dey do like werey..

When they were in government in Oyo,they didn't conduct one single LG election until the 7th year . Oyo is among the states that have done LG election

Even APC participated in the last LG election this year.

But instead to face the very issue that is bediliving Nigerians they are running here and there.

Until Inec conducts LG and Govornship election same day and they use the same term of office,all these are ruse because the Govornors will still put their own in charge of the LG's

So therefore, nothing absolutely will come out of this

Don't say what you know nothing about. There is no LG election in Oyo state, what you see that day was just a camouflage.

YelloweWest:
You're a disgusting human being to suggest that a 12 year old would lie against her own father raping her!

You are trying to justify this he goat! Godforbid!

Her testimony is more than enough evidence in such matter.

Were you expecting him to rape his child in the market square?

How many people have cctv in their house

Who is the anybody you are referring to and why did she not name the person instead of her father??

Go to the family section of the high Court in your state, see the number of children brought in to testify against their violators. Both boys and girls. I saw a boy who had been so badly penitrated he could not seat! Perhaps the worst wass a 6 mother old baby who was penetrated almost up to her lungs!!
All the perpetrators were FATHERS AND UNCLES!!! family members!!

When you hear a politician accused of looting funds, is your first reaction to say " it could have been stolen by someone else" when you know the money is in the custody of the politician??

Why us it different for innocent children? She 12 for God's sake! Whom ever she points did it! End if story! How can a 12 year old frame her father? How!


Like I said you are disgusting! You are most likely a child molester yourself. If that's the case I wish you nothing than a slow miserable death!

You are just an animal who is so dump and lack comprehensive skill. I am only trying to point our what might have be a loophole in that harsh judgment, but you're so silly to have believed judges are always right in their judgements. If you are actually in legal aspect, you would've know the reason for high Court, appeal court and supreme Court.


My apology to my friends that know me as a peaceful person on Nairaland. I hate it when I am trying to be civil and objective with someone but the person keep insulting or disrespecting my personality.

This will be the last time I am quoting you.

YelloweWest:
Innocent people?? Are you aware that statistical, sexual assault had the lowest false accusation rate globally?? Less that 2% of men are ever proven to be falsely accused! Less that 20% of sexual assault cases ever get reported and conviction rate is far less!

I'm in criminal litigation!

What makes you mention innocent?? Is the girl lying? Is there not evidence against him?

Even in the US, criminals of this kind come out worse! There's no correction!

I even suspect you might be a child molester because men that shout innocent are usually guilty!!

I didn't dispute the fact that allegation leveled against him is false, what i was saying is that, everything is possible under the sun. Go and read the main post very well, all their evidences were based on what the girl told them. No one has ever said he/she caught them in the act or cctv, couple with the fact that the incident only reported after 2 years. The medical report is not enough evidence because anyone could have disvirgin the girl.

Also, the girl claim that her father recorded the act and threaten to show everyone if she tell anyone sounds somehow illogical. And contrary to your statistical claims, alot of sexual assault are being link to "deal goes wrong" or set up by women.

Finally, I am not a child molester please, and if you are into criminal litigation indeed, you should've known better that law sometime has been prove to be illogical in the faces of reality.

Ojuntana:
This is actually the part that gets me laughing. Folks like you make it sound like LG chairmen have been itching to develop their areas and it is the govs that has been inhibiting them. What grand delusions!

Most of the LG chairs are former and active political thugs of their godfathers. The few who are not are simply appendages and bootlickers.
Secondly, how many LG chair are actually resident in their LGs as we speak?

Lastly, Tinubu is an hypocrite. When he was gov, he wouldn't let anyone touch his LG funds. He sanctimoniously preached true federalism and devolution of powers. He comes in and he starts taking steps to decimate and whittle down govs and states simply because he wants to control everything even to the smallest. This singular act has repudiated all the talk of federalism from him over the years. Shame on Ariwoola who allowed his court to be used to carry out a coup on the constitution.

You have absolutely no idea of how local government administration works. They are only loyal or becomes political servants to these state governors because of their lack of autonomy. I am 100% sure if you were alive or well mature when local governments were allow to perform their constructional functions, you will not be talking like this.

And contrary to your misinformed believe, Tinubu did not seize LG fund, he was instead created more and finance them from state allocation when OBJ led government refused to release LG fund in the state. Besides, it is quite illogical to say a man who doesn't want local governments administration to work as governor, now turn out to go extra mile to ensure its autonomy.

YelloweWest:
So when he comes out he rapes your daughter next abi?

The law is too lenient, his di@k should be cut off! Since he can't control it!

There is reason they called prison a correlation center, years of imprisonment would've done more than enough to teach him a bitter lesson. Remember even innocent people can fall victim of this same accusation or circumstances. Should we be happy if innocent ones are giving life imprisonment for an offence they don't commit? What if everything is being plan against him, just to get back at him but turn out to be like this? You can never tell my brother,the darkness in humans hearts are so dangerous that nothing can be term true or false except it happened to us.

Except in the case of felony, kidnapping or murder, capital or life imprisonment judgement might be too harsh.

He did not only committed a punishable offence by law but also involved in abomination act.

Though the law is too harsh on him, some years in prison would've better.

hisgrace090:
A cheaper alternative to cooking jeloff rice in this harsh economy.

The tinubulation or tribulation continues with total hunger in town.

This is for refreshments before the main food.

Perhaps you have never attend Yoruba events before. Some use Asun, pepper soup, bread and moimoi for the same purpose.

Though I don't like some of Tinubu policies, especially the ones that inflicted uncontrollable hardship on us, but these Northerners should go and sit down. Tinubu is not the kind of leader you gang up against withiout facing its consequences especially now that he has mighty federal power.

Tinubu, immediately he won that election has seen what many politicians will never see till the rest of their lives. He understands that, El Rufai, Yaya bello, FFK, Rochas, Lawal, Kalu, and all members of Buhari cabals are not the kind of politicians to take along if he must establish his authority in decision making.

Having studied his style of politics, Tinubu must have replace them with another capable influential people before he took them off. They are all just wasting their time, because those he replaced them with are probably ten times better than them.

EreluRoz:
30-80 depending on the size. You can get the one in the above picture for 30k. Goat meat is the best

Yeah, you are very abreast with reality here. Imagine a guy quoting 40k- 60k as Gigawa price, something you can easily get in South west market for 30k or slightly above. Someone I knew even bought moderately big Ram for 75k this year February.

Natbrowny:
Dont be deceived with the word CHEAP.

Grown goats like the one in the image goes for 40 to 60k..Jigawa rates anyway.. Dont be surprised if its more expensive in Kano and kaduna. Demand and supply

Impossible!

Those sokoto red goats are within prize range of 30k - 50k in South West, so I don't think it could be that costly in far North where they bought them.

Banditry is now a big business in the North. Sultan was right the other time he said it would take North more than a decade to eradicate it.

Until these bandits and their sponsors had enough money that could divert their attention to other form of legit businesses or the kidnapping becomes less lucrative, I don't see an end to this because it is the fastest means of accumulating wealth to them.

Media trial as usual, you won't hear anything about the case again. All she needed is to pay some people and the case would be forgotten forever.

Nigerians are all the same, including those probing her.

Whalis:
Wikes foresight and understanding of politics is unparalleled. Wike wouldn't have accepted to be a minister but the fear of Fubara reneging from their agreed terms made him to accept. The presidency then handed APC Rivers State to him. Fubara can only join APC Bayelsa or any other states. He is not in the good book of Tinubu. Have you forgotten that he threw into the trash bin agreement he signed before Tinubu? What makes you think that Tinubu will see him as a trusted fellow? No gree no gree always ends in regret.

By becoming APC member, every wrong step he has made before would be nullified, reason they say there is no permanent enemy or friend in politics but permanent interest. Once he serve their interests, they will definitely resolve the crisis and give him soft landing. Governors are the most powerful tools in a state to win election for president, so Tinubu will never for any reason sideline him if he decamp.

Pauladoyi:
The best option for the governor now is to the join the All Progressive Congress (APC)... once that is done, nobody can witch hunt him again. The party will protect from his foes

Oil dey your head jare, this is only move a smart politician would've made since he notice Wike was giving him unsolicited head ache. This would've giving him an automatic edge over his former boss.

It is not too late, he can still join now to save his political career.

Ironbull:
Na death be dat for his political career we go bury him forever if he dares it. Obi my foot!!! LP my Pooh!!!

If I am to be in this man's shoes, I will simply decamp to APC and pitch tent with federal government. I am 100% sure that by seeing him as full loyal APC member, Tinubu and other power brokers will resolve the crisis and give him soft landing. Infact, being a governor will give him upper hands in Abuja than Wike.

michlins:
Tinubu is not helping matters at all. Why not make this country work for the common man and let me see how the North will defeat you with their born-to-rule mentality?

With the type of hunger in this country, these people will have an insane amount of appeal.

Anyways come and patronize my welding business. Politicians can kill themselves for all I care

Obviously things has really gone south under him, especially the suffering of the masses.

I will only advise him to revisit restructuring agenda like Shehu said and let this country break into 6 or more regions under a unified weak federal government. This will put an end to all this born to rule mentality and ethnics demagogue by politicians.

The good news is that, Tinubu would rather restructure the country by using federal might to bypass national assembly in which they are majority and throw it on referendum than relinquish power to them in 2027. I know this for sure.

ObongNkakad:
I don't like Lagos for anything. Overcrowded, smelling gutters, agberos, poor road networks.

The only Pro is the opportunities it presents. And maybe the diversity in culture and people.

Maybe thr highbrow areas are better, but my experience in the island wasn't that great.

Lagos is no longer overcrowded like before subsidy removal. The road are a little bit scanty now. Don't mind the op, nobody will snatch your phone inside vehicle except you're inside holdup with alot of crowd.
Though, some of what he wrote up there are true but majority of them are over exaggerated. I am not permanently live in Lagos, but I went there often as I live very close.

dangermouse:


The story doesn't add up.

Davido who has many girls at his beck and call?

Bitterness does no one any good. The only leverage he has on Davido is the daughter and she is using her to punish Davido and not her kpekus.

But men are always found of wanting to sleep with mother of their children after separation. This could be 100% true judging from how he always wanted to see her and the child.

Gadafii:
A traveling blogger narrated how he spent over $150k to get another citizenship and passport in another country that allows him travel the world without restriction and myriads of checks and suspicious looks he gets when ever he presents his Nigerian passport at airports and Nigerians were in his comment section swearing for him that he's not patriotic and all.

A move any sane Nigeria who can afford it will make, even in Nigeria we discriminate ourselves, thinking the world is not watching, imagine someone that lives and work in Lagos, pay tax to Lagos govt and all, but when it's time to vote, that's when they remember he's not lagosian, and he's advised to go home, you go to hospital to get medical care, without questioning where the doctor is from, but election time they all remember who's who😅😅

Nigeria don cast walai

If every sane Nigerians who can afford to buy another citizenship for better future should do so, then stop complaining about the current state of your nation. $150k can set up a business that will employ more than 30 youths, yet you won't do that to help your country but keep lamenting that your country is not moving forward.

You people are not different from the leaders you are blaming.

mrvitalis:
Every gun nd every bullet have identity that can be tracked... Oga this things are not rocket science na this are basic

Bunch of bandits won't last 18 months under my government... Worse I hires Russians and Israeli military commanders

6 months self them try

Kill them and leave them to fertilize the soil they died

Lolz, is like you takes this banditry of a thing to means Boko Haram that are fighting and dying for religion course.

Current bandits are business men who live among masses, and not permanently inside forest. Some are even coming from neighbouring countries to kidnap and take their victims to the said countries. What about saboteurs among intelligent officials who take a cut from the proceeds of the ransoms? Your Russsians and Israeli machineries will kill civilians and farmers tired, not real Bandits who are graciously enjoying their ransoms in hotels in Abuja.

All they need is information from military insiders to operate. Or your so called machineries will go into our forest withiout the help of Nigeria military? What elder seeing sitting on a stood, a boy will never see it even from top of a tree. Sultan is not a fool for making such statement, he live among them, and he knows better.

Until Bandits had enough, lose interest in kidnapping business, or the business is no longer profitable, there may not be the end to this manace in decades.
