@atiku Atiku Abubakar why did you delete Deborah's death condemnation on your social media accounts? If any Nigerian will condemn this state pardon, you are not the one because you don't have moral rights to do this, due to your past record.
As Nigeria marks another Independence Day, we reflect on the Central Bank Governors who have steered the nation’s monetary policy through the highs and lows of our economic journey.

Labelling the Nigerian President and other African Leaders as the most corrupt by online voting, and not by incontrovertible facts and figures is more of a political rating crafted from views,opinions and perspectives.
There were people who were silent when Buhari was fielding political offices with his Kinsmen, and have now found their voice to speak out when the equation doesn’t favour them.Lets not make reference to the nepotism that marginalised Southern Kaduna for eight years.Kaduna was an apartheid state for eight years.
The former First Lady of Ondo State, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, used a famous IPOB slogan and called Nigeria a 'Zoo Country'.
Peter Obi is silent
Oby Ezekwesili is silent
Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is silent.
But when one unknown and very useless small boy on X posted that 'Igbo must go', all of them IMMEDIATELY shouted and threatened to rain down fire and brimstone.
Now, answer this question. If former Lagos Governor Tunde Fashola's wife had said something similar to what Betty said, would Obi, Oby, and Gbadebo still be silent?

The Tax reform Bill is not inimical to the North or any part of this country.Its in fact economically beneficial and fair to all parts.People should keep aside sentiments and read the Bill carefully.Its a comprehensive and bold move to harmonise and simplify tax administration and streamline it’s operations and enforcement.The Bill will actually generate and safeguard more revenue to the https://t.co/4YK6yvqlAF will also combat the corruption in the so called tax waivers granted to business cabals.
There is nowhere in the document where any region will be shortchanged or taxes will be increased or jobs will be lost.Northern Governors should rescind their decision to reject the Bill,take time to read it and make inputs where necessary.
NASS must treat this important Bill with all seriousness.
JUST READ THE CONTENT OF THE BILL.

@PeterObi Dear Peter,
Why are you so fond of gaslighting Nigerians? You were Governor of Anambra State for eight years and did not build a single independent power station. But you could build two breweries and buy 400 cars for Anambra Igwes. Now, u are complaining about power failure
Govenor Tinubu’s P.A and SA are king in Lagos. President Tinubu’s ADC is now a king in Kwara. One of the Judges in Lagos State when Tinubu was Governor is now the CJN.
Only a careless person will see this as coincidence! Tinubu is deliberately blessed by the Almighty God.
