Still the same old poet, a Nigerian supporting Arsenal. A Muslim, father to Madina & Bashir. Hard core Tinubu supporter since 1998. Extremely Nigerian Nigerian.
@ogundamisi Nobody is pretending. You are just the one simplifying a serious issue by making it look like it’s something which can be resolved just by removing the president.
@kwakulotteryy I’ve had to bribe emirates airport desk people twice at kotoka for this type of stuff.
Happens only with the big airlines. They will claim check-in closes 2 hours before take off - rules known only by them and not the passengers.
@dammiedammie35 He and his wife are stupid and are part of the problems of Nigeria.
Dis the government ask them to give birth to those 6 children? You can’t feed yourself properly on 70k not to talk of having a wife and then up to 6 children!
If she says she did more of a favor to APC because she was not paid in a special assistant job to the vice president, the question should have asked her is whether she saw her post as a job for the party or as a job for the govt of Nigeria because both are not the same thing
“I was basically a special assistant with shorts — you can’t go anywhere. I did more of a favour to the APC (as technical assistant to the former vice-president Yemi Osinbajo) than they did to me because my service was pro bono. It wasn't a salary-paying job.” — Zainab Buba Galadima

@ogundamisi Nobody pushed Elrufai to open his mouth and be abusing or threatening those guys.
Till date, not one of them has replied him despite all he said and did against them. It is not people who are trying to keep them apart, it is his own hateful behavior.
At what point do we start holding Sowore for the thousands and f fake news his online outlets and their minions regularly post.
Is it possible he's been directly funded from abroad to manufacture consent for foreign attacks in Nigeria.
Horrific news.
Armed radical Muslim Fulani attacked three churches yesterday and kidnapped more than 100 Christian worshippers.
Our brothers and sisters in Christ are facing an existential threat at the hands of the Fulani militants.
More must be done to protect them, and I urge the Nigerian government to ensure the swift and safe return of all those who were captured.
@BolanleCole Don’t do it o.
If the man isn’t stable, follow your instinct and solely own your own property.
No need to rush on sharing the info. Time will sort out the rest.
This is extremely good news from the GCEO of NNPCL, Bashir Ojulari. After briefing President Bola Tinubu today, he announced that NNPC is now ready to connect the AKK Gas Pipeline project to power industries in the North, particularly in Kano and Kaduna, as well as Ajaokuta and Abuja.
The AKK project is one of the most important legacies of the late President Buhari, under whose administration the project was initiated with a clear vision of boosting energy security, industrialization and economic growth across the country.
I sincerely appreciate President Tinubu for his strong support and purposeful leadership in ensuring the actualization of this critical national infrastructure.
The Federal Government must come clean with Nigerians.
The quiet appointment of Xpress Payments Solutions Limited as a new TSA collecting agent is not an administrative decision, it is a dangerous resurrection of the Alpha Beta revenue cartel that dominated Lagos State during and after the Tinubu years. That model created a private toll gate around public revenue and funnelled state funds into the hands of a politically connected monopoly.
What we are witnessing now is the attempt to nationalise that same template, moving Nigeria from a republic to a private holding company controlled by a small circle of vested interests.
To introduce such a policy in the middle of a national tragedy, while Nigerians are mourning loved ones lost to the deepening insecurity crisis, is not only insensitive, it is a deliberate act of governance by stealth. When a nation is grieving, leadership should show empathy and focus on securing lives, not on expanding private revenue pipelines.
This latest move raises fundamental questions:
Why was this appointment rushed and smuggled into the public space without consultation, stakeholder engagement, or National Assembly oversight?
What value does Xpress Payments add that existing TSA channels do not already provide?
Who truly benefits from this? Nigeria or an entrenched political network?
This is not reform. This is state capture masquerading as digital innovation.
Let me be clear:
Nigeria does not need more middlemen between citizens and their government revenue. What we need is greater transparency, stronger institutions, and a tax system free from political capture.
I therefore call for the following:
1. Immediate suspension of the Xpress Payments appointment pending a public inquiry;
2. Full disclosure of the contractual terms, beneficiaries, fee structures, and selection criteria;
3. A comprehensive audit of TSA operations to prevent the creeping privatisation of revenue collection;
4. A legal framework, not executive shortcuts, that prohibits the insertion of private proxies into core government revenue systems;
5. A national security priority shift, recognising that a country under assault cannot afford economic governance conducted in the shadows.
Nigeria’s revenues are not political spoils. They are the lifeblood of our national survival, especially at a time when insecurity is tearing communities apart.
The government must abandon this Lagos-style revenue cartelisation and return to the path of transparency, constitutionalism, and public accountability. -AA

I guess not mentioning the Kebbi girls means the security agencies are not looking for them.
It also means that the President does not care about the girls.
What a statement! He couldn't even mention the 25 Kebbi girls that were first to be kidnapped, and reassure the country that they too will be rescued, since there isn't a tag of Muslim Geneocide hanging over his neck! The president is surrounded by incompetent people.
If Wike had been allowed to have access, would he have carried the land on his back and take it with him?
The main issue here is of Nigeria, a country with severe security problems having retired senior military men deploying active duty officers to man a land for them.
For those of you saying Wike was right to have gone there.
"I gathered that he (Wike) called the Chief of Defence Staff, who advised him to wait for an investigation. However, he did not wait, and instead went straight to the site. As a leader, he ought have exercise patience and waited for the outcome of the investigation."
"Wike also contacted the Chief of Naval Staff, who assured him that an investigation would be conducted. Yet again, he did not wait. It was supposed to be a one day inquiry, but he chose to go there and confront them."
