UNSERIOUS FELLOW. I PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS. IF MY MOUTH IS NOT THERE WHY SHOULD I PUT MY MONEY THERE FOR YOU TO WORK AGAINST MY INTEREST? YOU WILL END UP IN A GUTTER LIKE YOUR NAME SUGGESTS!
Ironfaceman: I don't think there are humans any more in the white house. All I see there are vampires.
Putting Nigerian on a list that contravenes forced labor law is laughable. In Nigeria there's no forced labor but people are force to do hazardous jobs because of the high poverty rate and very low profitable jobs.
Any increase on tax tariff on Nigerian businesses Will increase the poverty rate and swell the number of people forced to do hazardous jobs because of hunger
BEEN TO THE NORTH OF NIGERIA AND THE SOUTH WEST WHERE PRECIOUS MINERALS ARE ILLEGALLY MINED. YOU EITHER TAKE THE JOB OR LEAVE! THAT IS FORCED LABOUR!!! IT IS NOT ABOUT A HORSE-WHIP ON YOUR BACK PHARAOH STYLE!!!!
Seyi Makinde fall my hand as he ends his administration on a disastrous note. I was hopeful for him to be the next President of Nigeria of South-West extraction after Tinubu until he started his political somersault in PDP which took his eyes off the ball -the proper administration of Oyo State as Governor. He also needs prayers like Ayo Fayose.
Justnation: Atiku Abubakar should have taken the honourable part and step aside from contesting this election. He has damaged his reputation irredeemably. Atiku Abubakar will fail woefully and shamefully
Which reality is that as said by Obasanjo, Atiku is a thief! That’s not who we want as President. In his book My Watch, former President Obasanjo portrays Atiku Abubakar as inherently corrupt, documenting instances of alleged financial misconduct during their administration. He paints a picture of a Vice President who acted for personal, not national, gain and questioned Atiku's moral integrity. By the way, Atiku is yet to sue Obasanjo for calling him a thief in “My Watch”. A book written by Obasanjo. Atiku won’t dare! The interesting thing is that his political opponents are not using that against him obviously because they are largely all thieves like him! They won’t dare!
PVC information is public information as long as it is not used for impersonation.
Even at that, as a candidate running for public office, every relevant information submitted to INEC including your PVC details are open to public scrutiny.
I will not be surprised to hear that the lame trio of Presenters on the programme did not draw his attention to this and receive his response.
Whenever I see a Nigerian threatening to take anyone to court I never take them serious.
If someone infringed your rights take him to court.
Everything else lere said is true ( asides violating your privacy ofcourse which I don't support)... at least the part where he said you should have contested in your place.
Emeka ike did politics at the actors guild level and isn't exactly a trustworthy and good one. He comes across as a confusionist when it comes to Politics.
Many of these people are just looking for a way to cross into politics to have a piece of the national cake not because they have the interest of serving.
Political positions in Nigeria should be made unlucrative and unattractive so only those with the interest of the country should seek for positions!
Another way to deal with corruption in Nigeria! Make it easy to contest and pay the elected what Federal Public Servants are paid without the perks they get now. It means that elected representatives will be found living in the same neighbourhood as the general public and using the epileptic public transportation and power stations. Things will change!
Desmond and his other senior brother in Abuja have made a poor showing in their political acting career. They failed abysmally at reading and properly understanding their scripts.
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has dismissed claims that soldiers will be deployed ahead of planned protest action linked to the June 30 "deadline" for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa, while police say they remain on high alert for any violence, intimidation, or acts of vigilantism.
The June 30 date has gained traction on social media and in public mobilisation campaigns across the country, following a wave of protests by movements calling for the removal or repatriation of undocumented foreign nationals.
In recent weeks, the campaign has spread across communities and provinces, with posters, videos, and public statements circulating widely online and fuelling fears of possible unrest.
SA DEFENCE FORCE
However, the SANDF has denied reports suggesting that soldiers were being prepared for deployment in anticipation of protest action on June 30.
"The South African National Defence Force has noted with concern misleading reports on social media suggesting that the SANDF will be deployed in anticipation of planned marches and protest action on June 30, 2026, by various civil society groups calling for the repatriation of illegal nationals," the SANDF said.
"The SANDF dismisses these claims as false, unfounded, and deliberately misleading. At no stage has the SANDF issued any directive or made preparations for deployment in relation to these activities."
The defence force said while the Constitution allowed for peaceful protest, the spread of unverified claims risked creating unnecessary public panic.
"The SANDF appreciates that the Constitution of the Republic allows peaceful protest marches. The SANDF distances itself entirely from these claims and cautions against the dissemination of unverified information that undermines public trust and creates unnecessary alarm."
PROTEST LEADERS
The denial comes as March and March, one of the movements at the centre of the anti-undocumented immigration campaign, has continued to attract public attention over its position on the June 30 date.
At a media briefing earlier this week, March and March founder Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma said the movement supported the broader concerns being raised, but denied that it had set the deadline.
"We are a team, and we support each other in the same ideology. We as March and March did not issue the June 30 deadline," Ngobese-Zuma said.
According to Ngobese-Zuma, the date was issued by others who shared the same ideology.
SA POLICE SERVICE
National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure, known as NATJOINTS, was aware of and monitoring public mobilisation and campaigns linked to illegal immigration, including activities being promoted ahead of June 30.
"SAPS respects the constitutional right of individuals and organisations to express themselves and to protest lawfully and peacefully," Mathe said.
She said police were assessing possible risks to public safety, public order, and community stability.
"As with any planned mobilisation or public gathering, SAPS (SA Police Service)continuously assesses potential risks to public safety, public order, and community stability. Law enforcement remains alert to any incidents or actions that may lead to violence, intimidation, incitement, destruction of property, or the targeting of individuals or groups."
Mathe said the SAPS Public Order Policing units, Crime Intelligence, and other operational environments, through NATJOINTS, remained on high alert nationally to ensure that any gatherings stayed within the law.
"SAPS will act decisively against any acts of vigilantism, criminality, threats, assault, malicious damage to property, or conduct that undermines the rule of law and the constitutional rights of others, irrespective of nationality."
She said issues relating to undocumented foreign nationals remained the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and the Department of Home Affairs, and had to be dealt with through lawful processes.
"SAPS calls on all communities, organisations, and stakeholders to act responsibly and to refrain from taking the law into their own hands," Mathe said.
"The police appeal for calm, tolerance, and compliance with the law, and warn that anyone found committing criminal acts under the guise of activism or community action will face the full might of the law."
I Before Others are one of the reasons why sans are this way.
CyynthiaKiss: I hate Injustice. Let Nnamdi Kanu be, after all everything he warned us has come to pass. Islamic terrorists are being pampered like eggs in Nigeria , while Kanu is in prison for using microphone..
That is injustice at its peak!!
The earlier some us make peace with the fact that Nigeria will break, the better for all of us.. So many people are suffering from anxiety because they are afraid of Nigeria break up.. Make peace with this bitter fact and be happy with yourself.. It’s a matter of time..
God Bless All Genuine freedom fighters all over the world..
Ask what the children of Dr. Chike Akunyili the husband of Prof. Theodora Akunyili former NAFDAC Head think about whether Nnamdi Kanu is a victim of injustice or is yet to be adequately sentenced.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. The U.S. should apply for a record the proceedings of the trial of Nnamdi Kanu before Justice Omotosho. The records of proceedings should speak for themselves.Q.E.D.
Macphenson: This is an abberation of the constitution. as at the time he contested and won the APC primaries, he was still the minority leader and did not resign his position.
EponObi: See this grasscutter master saying he's doesn't like how politics is played in Nigeria
If politics is played right, you should have met your maker by now or be rotting in jail.
You don't need to tell us that Tinubu will win with a landslide, we already know that.
The only highlight is him saying he won't support Peter Obi. He didn't say anything bad about him but just decided not to join his train. So he doesn't want Tinubu (who he said will rig), Atiku (who he accused of writing result). The option left that he didn't fault, he said he doesn't want anything to do with him.
This speaks volume. But like always, Obidients won't hear shi shi. If Obi is a Aminu or Adeniyi, he would have supported him. It's simple. If you think Obi has an appeal up north, you are on a long thing.
PETER OBI IS JUST WASTING HIS TIME. SHISHI OR NOT, PETER OBI WILL NOT GET THE NEEDED NORTHERN VOTES.
Freshtruth: President Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu wants Nigerians to praise her husband because he is now sleeping at 3am every day trying to solve Nigeria insecurity problems. “My Husband Now Sleeps At 3am,
I can assure you, we don’t have Mondays or Sundays. The President is working round the clock to get this matter resolved. At times, Mr President will sleep at 3:00am and God has been faithful".
How many hours of sleep does the First Lady think an average Nigerian gets a day.
What about the kidnapped victims who are in the bush for the past 3 months sleeping under the rain, sun and cold.
What about the fathers and mothers who are awake all night thinking about how to feed and pay their children’s school fees.
The president doesn’t should be awake all night if he has to, to make sure Nigerians are protected.
Taking the right decisions daily and ensuring they are executed is what is required of leadership. It does not require sleeping at 3am DAILY. Not taking the right decisions daily and ensuring they are executed will ensure not sleeping until 3am daily accomplishing little or nothing. Tinubu has not fixed power as he promised so, for me, his sleeping at 3am daily is of little or no moment at all to me. Work done ZERO!
Kwaks is in a quandary. It was a grave political error. He is bigger than Peter Obi who though has a cultic national following has never been a Senator.
Svoboda: Tell me one notable politician that doesn't empower his subordinate. Majority of all the people in public office as politicians are all products of benefactors. Even Tinubu. Even Atiku. It's the same way they've subordinates. Who would even attempt to empower a stranger?
Whether you like it or not, men must revolt. We even saw Bukola Saraki revolt against his father after his father had empowered him to serve as governor. If you like call it betrayal. Men must revolt one way or the other against his oga. You think Wike would have succeeded against Fubara if it was Atiku or Obi that was in power?
Forget about strategy. Everybody has strategy because he has a big masquerade beating the drums in the bush.
None of Wikes followers would be foolish enough to fall out of line because he currently enjoys the presidents cover. Just wait for the tables to turn first.
He knows where the insecurity in Nigeria comes from and he is not about going out there looking for their trouble. Nyesom Wike handlers nah the cow herders. Wike knows his level!!!!
TheBTCinvestor: Na him type dey poison friends or plan thier kidnap...na why my circle dey extremely small
Small does not keep bitter people away from you: God will. By the way, Jesus had a small team of 12 one of whom was a thief and Sim Fubara's ancestor considering that he betrayed Jesus! Jesus also had a doubter in Thomas leaving him with 11 men two of whom had a mum who was planning to destabilise things by starting off a power struggle!!!
dominique: The spokesperson for the Nigeria Labour Congress, Benson Upah, has described the proposed N100,000 national minimum wage being considered by state governors as unrealistic, arguing that Nigerian workers should earn as much as N1 million monthly, given prevailing economic conditions.
Upah stated this in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday while reacting to comments by the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who disclosed that governors were considering a new national minimum wage of N100,000.
AbdulRazaq, in a Facebook post on Saturday, said the proposal was informed by rising inflation, increasing living costs and the growing financial burden on Nigerian workers.
According to the governor, state governments were already engaging the Federal Government and organised labour to arrive at a wage structure that balances workers’ welfare with fiscal sustainability.
Reacting to the proposal, Upah said although the governors’ consideration of a wage review was commendable, N100,000 was significantly below what workers require to cope with current economic realities.
“We consider it thoughtful of the Kwara State governor to propose this, but certainly, N100,000 falls far below the realistic figure,” he said.
The labour leader cited the continued depreciation of the naira, rising inflation, increases in electricity tariffs, higher fuel prices, declining purchasing power and the impact of new tax measures as factors making a substantially higher wage necessary.
“Given the realities around the exchange rate, inflation, raised tariffs, the surge in the pump price of petrol and associated costs, the decline in the purchasing power of the average worker, and the effects of the new tax regime on our cost of living, the realistic figure, subject to status quo maintenance, would be N1 million,” he stated.
Related News Workers threaten indefinite strike over wages, insecurity Tinubu reforms stabilised economy, welfare lags – CPPE Labour rejects N100,000 minimum wage proposal Upah argued that government revenues have improved significantly and should support enhanced remuneration for workers.
“In light of the earnings by governments, this should not be a big issue. Check what is being shared at FAAC. The windfall from the Middle East war has put over N5tn in the treasury. Even though this is temporary, it is nonetheless very good for governments,” he added.
The NLC spokesman further stressed that the workforce remains the most valuable asset of any nation and should be adequately compensated to ensure productivity and economic growth.
“Finally, please note that the greatest asset of any nation is its workforce,” he said.
The debate over workers’ wages has intensified amid worsening economic conditions following the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira by the Federal Government.
In July 2024, the Federal Government approved a new national minimum wage of N70,000 after prolonged negotiations with organised labour. However, labour unions have continued to argue that inflation and rising living costs have significantly eroded the value of the wage.
Recent increases in electricity tariffs, transportation costs and food prices have further fuelled demands for another wage review, with labour leaders insisting that workers’ salaries should reflect prevailing economic realities.
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum has yet to formally present any proposal on a new minimum wage framework to the Federal Government or organised labour.
dederocs: How does the man you are praising speak?
Minus the vitriol he speaks well except that you only share with him what you would not mind to hear on CNN and monthly chats and that is discretion keeping you.
Difficult to believe that Grasscutter Babachir Lawal wrote this considering the hugs he had for Atiku Abubakar also known as Kachall Atiku! Thanks to God he exposed Atiku's underbelly. Atiku is on the verge of being broke and desperately needs to be in charge of Nigeria's Treasury to rescue himself (not Nigeria)! Haba!!!
Ants are attracted to sugar. Babachir is the ant. It will be on terms. The former roger don expire Nah🧐🤣🤣. Atiku dey give shishi unlike the deceitful guy with an effeminate voice.
