Resulting Controversy
This sequence sparked significant public debate and legal criticism from environmentalists, civil society groups, and media figures. Under the Nigerian Environmental Impact Assessment Act, an EIA must be fully completed, reviewed, and approved before any major physical development or construction begins.
Only in Nigeria do you do scoping for EIA after the road project has commenced!
The ministry of environment claim the EIA was out in November 2024
The EIA report release is dated April 2025 by the ministry of Works
You can see that why Nigeria is a bedlam
When laila Johnson salami asked for the EIA in May 2024 the project had started so it’s obvious they had no EIA then
That’s a violation of the EIA act
Let me now excite you
The document released by Bureau of public enterprise in September 2024 shows that no EIA was presented at the start of the project
The project started around March 2024
Laila asked for EIA in May 2024
BPP said no EIA as at September 2024
This is a violation of the EIA act that says before a project of this magnitude you must do EIA
Read and make up your mind what you think of Nigeria
Greetings, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT.
This is a kind reminder that you are yet to act on our demands.
Your Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, who is being accused of massive corruption, is still holding sway in that position.
Southeast is taking their kids to international competitions,
The southwest is insisting that frying akara and selling kuli-kuli is what the youths should thrive towards,
The north is sponsoring mass weddings & pilgrimage.
We will be here to witness the results from each region in a few years.
Kudos, Alex. God bless! 🙌
Another Harmless gist 😅
Ali Modu Sheriff, a prominent Borno politician and a 2-term governor of the state, appeared on Channels TV to discuss politics and 2027.
During the discussion, he alleged that Peter Obi is a supporter of IPOB because he doesn't condemn their actions.
The host,Seun asked him that since he, Ali Modu Sheriff, has never condemned the actions of ISIS and Boko Haram, is it safe to say he's a supporter of terrorism?
Ali Modu Sheriff said he's own case is different, that he's not contesting for president; it is Peter Obi that is running for president.
Breaking: “I will arrest anyone who calls Ozo my son. He is not my son. I disowned him years ago, and he is no longer a member of the Soludo family.
I don’t know him, and he doesn’t know me,” — statement attributed to Soludo.

Congratulations to all the African countries representing our continent at the World Cup. Your performances have made Africa proud.
Special congratulations to Cape Verde, a nation with a landmass of 4,033 sq km, which is less than 0.5% of Nigeria’s landmass of 923,768 sq km, and a population of about 550,000, which is less than 0.25% of Nigeria’s population of 230,000,000. For context, Cape Verde has about 200,000 fewer people than Ogbomoso. Yet, they reached the knockout stage of the World Cup.
Cape Verde has once again demonstrated that greatness is not determined by size or population, but by planning and disciplined execution. When systems work, even the smallest nations can compete with the best in the world.
Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup is not a consequence of a lack of talent. It is the result of years of poor administration, weak institutions, and leadership that has consistently failed to build sustainable systems.
This is the lesson for us as a nation: if we can get leadership right, strengthen our institutions, plan and execute properly, and reward talent over connections, Nigeria can become a global success story, not only in football but also in other areas.
A new Nigeria is POssible … and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
The man they are calling a scammer and accusing of creating a fake agency has been seen all over with them.
The APC clearly has no regard for the intelligence of Nigerians.
Tony Elumelu had never set camera to buy corn before until Remi Told Nigerian women to go and sell corn.
Elumelu's daughters should go and sell corn so that I too will set camera and buy from them.
Let his family lead by example
