@innocentname@ruffydfire No, I have spoken with a lot of young eloquent boys from the north, Sokoto State precisely. I only meant that his eloquence is far from the real realities of many of his peers, especially in that social condition. However, his message and the scene look unnatural.
@OsonduPatrik@ruffydfire What a Chibudull😂, try think forward for once, i said under 18, you said men, i said I studied in the north (sokoto 6yrs), you said you do business with them, chai lol
Let’s look beyond the surface.
I studied in the North, so I know the realities of Northern Yaro boys. This boy is so outspoken that I think this is just an arrangement; what he’s saying seems planned.
If 37 of their colleagues and relatives had died that way as he claimed, I don’t expect that activities in the background.
“We are not illiterate; we are all educated.” That’s quite un-Northern, especially for under-18 boys from that area.
For sure, big powers with a mobster-like network are behind this. The situation should be thoroughly investigated.

Naturally, if 37 of their colleagues and relatives, as he claimed, had passed away in that manner, they wouldn’t be working on the site at the moment.

We all know there are some big powers with a mobster-like network behind all of this. The entire situation should be thoroughly and independently investigated.

Yeah, brilliantly said. What I expect to see is Asiwaju going for Kwara in a proper power-politics manner coz I don’t think Bukola Saraki is in his good books.
But let’s put the record straight: Asiwaju didn’t mastermind the “Otoge Movement” in Kwara. Otoge was simply an indigenous uprising; its relation with Tinubu was just APC national alignment as party national leader.
Because Atiku says he’ll restore fuel subsidy, any move by Tinubu to reduce transport costs is now “because of elections” or “because of Atiku”? 🤦🏽♂️
This is where our political culture gets disappointing.
The right response should be simple: Good 👍🏽. Now let’s make sure it works by October 1—not all these brouhahas.
October 1 is the target. If fares don’t come down, we can hold the government accountable for that promise.
CNG didn’t suddenly appear today. The Presidential CNG Initiative has been in motion for years. This statement even references projects commissioned in May.
Whether the timing has political motives or not, what matters is that it benefits Nigerians.
You can be critical of Tinubu without letting partisanship distort your judgment.
“CHEAPER FUEL MUST MEAN CHEAPER TRANSPORT FARES”: PRESIDENT TINUBU, GOVERNORS MOVE TO CUT TRANSPORT FARES NATIONWIDE
I am pleased with my discussion with the Governors’ Forum this afternoon. The Governors have, on their own initiative, resolved to take immediate measures to bring down the cost of transportation in their states, with a strong focus on leveraging the cost benefits of CNG and electric vehicles.
The Federal Government is already investing significantly in this energy transition. Through the Presidential CNG Initiative, over 120,000 vehicles have been converted nationwide, with more than 100,000 additional conversion kits in the works. At the same time, we continue to expand conversion centres and refuelling infrastructure nationwide.
The Federal Government, through the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, is currently financing more than 100 gas projects across the country, including 15 CNG mother stations and 86 daughter stations. In May, I commissioned four of these projects in Lagos, Abuja and Owerri, including a 15-station refuelling network in Lagos and an Abuja facility that can serve 1,000 cars and tricycles and 50 trucks and buses a day.
I have also directed the additional rollout of another 500 CNG refuelling stations nationwide in addition to the 500 stations ordered earlier in the year by the Fund, bringing the programme to 1,000 stations across the country.
Intra-state transport is where Nigerians feel the cost most directly, and it is where the states hold the levers. I am encouraged that our Governors are moving to bring these benefits closer to the people they serve.
We have agreed to set up a joint Federal and State committee to begin implementing these measures immediately. A vehicle running on CNG spends 60 to 80 per cent less on fuel than one running on petrol.
From October 1, our goal is that Nigerians begin to partake in those savings through lower transport fares.
We have agreed that cheaper fuel should result in cheaper fares!
Each tier of government must keep doing its part and work together for the benefit of every Nigerian.
Nigeria First.
