@ishaqsamaila5 So your only reason for this your stance is that you don't want Dangote to make more money, right? Go ahead and import, it's a " FREE MARKET" now...
@tokunbo_wahab How can a Government operate in this thuggish manner and still be proudly posting same?
I believe there are still better ways to address issues...
Lack of self control everywhere, from the boy, the teacher, the parents and even the school that mishandled the situation.
I would have gotten a lawyer by now sha...
An alleged incident at Starville School in Jahi, Abuja🙆🏼♂️. A teacher claimed he sl@pped a student for reportedly pushing him twice. Later, during a meeting with the principal and the parents, the situation escalated when the parents began slåpp!ng the teacher back too😭💔
On the occasion of your 64th birthday, I extend my warmest wishes to you, Your Excellency, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi.
In a time when our nation yearns for principled leadership and moral clarity, your life has come to represent the possibility of a politics grounded in integrity, discipline, and service. You have consistently chosen the path of prudence over populism, of compassion over convenience, and of conscience over conformity.
As former Governor of Anambra State, your tenure was marked by fiscal responsibility, investment in education and health, and a governance model that placed the people first. Even outside public office, your continued support to schools, hospitals, and communities across Nigeria speaks volumes of your philanthropy and commitment to humanity.
Your unwavering dedication to the public good — in governance and as a private citizen — continues to inspire many across party lines and generations.
As you mark this new age, may you be granted greater strength, wisdom, and grace to remain steadfast in your convictions — and may your voice continue to echo where it matters most: in the hearts of the people.
I wish you peace, health, and many more years of impactful service to our beloved country.
Happy 64th Birthday, Your Excellency. – AWT
Dear @officialEFCC your attention is greatly needed here, how can President Tinubu’s Administration budget N393.2billion for a mere 1,477 streetlights, a whopping N266.25Million for just one streetlight Pole. this money alone is enough to Build a very massive streetlight Factory and put a permanent end to the streetlight problem all over Nigeria. Also another N114.53Billion was budgeted for just 538 Boreholes that’s a whopping N211Million to sink just one Borehole, this is completely ridiculous, and makes no sense, please kindly investigate this asap, this is a great injustice to every Nigerian.
This is very sad. Come to think of it, even if the theory of drowning is accepted, how did she leave her classroom into the pool without the notice of the care giver(s)?
May God rest her soul by granting her earthly justice...
History has it that in the early 1990s, after the breakup of the Soviet Union, at the time when war between NATO and North Korea was looking like a real possibility, North Korean supreme leader Kim Il-Sung called his top generals together for a meeting to discuss strategy for a war against the USA.
After hours discussing the nuts and bolts of prosecuting this war, Kim asked everyone in the room a question that they did not know how to answer. He asked, "What if we lose? What will we do if we lose?"
The generals didn't want to answer this question because to do so, which would be to acknowledge the possibility of losing might be interpreted as disloyalty or even treason. At the same time, "We cannot possibly lose" was not a useful answer, and Kim certainly wasn't looking for delusional optimism in his military commanders.
Kim's son, Kim Jong-Il, who was present at the meeting, was the only person who spoke up. His answer was simple: "If we lose, I will make sure to destroy the world. What good is a world without North Korea?" And this was the answer that satisfied Kim Snr and became part of the foundational ethos of the Kim dynasty and North Korea to this day.
Regardless of whatever moral issue one might have with North Korea planning to basically destroy the world in a giant tantrum if a hypothetical war does not go its way, I have always found something deeply compelling and somewhat admirable about North Korea seeing itself as the centre of the world.
If the inhabitants of that patch of cold, rocky land that is poor in natural resources and seemingly condemned by geography to eternal poverty and irrelevance can see themselves not only as a key part of the world, but as *centrally important* to it, then why do the inhabitants of the planet's most fought-over continent, bursting from Cairo to Cape with every sort of desirable resource known to man, struggle to see themselves as main characters in the world?
Between themselves, Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, and Kim Jong-Un turned a barely-hospitable corner of East Asian into an impregnable, nuclear-armed fortress that absolutely nobody dares to take levities with. Unlike Africa, they have no huge amounts of gold, bauxite, oil, coltan, diamonds, copper, arable land, or sunlight.
In a world where independence and sovereignty are only guaranteed by nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles, they built those things out of Kimchi, rough potatoes, and sheer willpower. Nobody particularly *wants* North Korean territory - its most valuable geographical asset is its border with China - yet it sees itself as not just a key player on the gloval stage, but the world's *main character.*
Meanwhile in Africa - the continent that supplies *everything* to the world and also controls the 2 most important shipping lanes in global trade (Gulf of Aden & Suez Canal) - nobody here seems to believe that they are part of the world, let alone among its main characters. The president of its most populous country is a CIA asset, and that country's citizens are not especially bothered by this. It does not fund its own continental union (only 16% of the AU's annual budget comes from Africa).
It has no continental defence strategy. It plans to integrate its 54 economies by 2063, when most people reading this will be long dead. It can't even implement its own open-skies agreement, so it is cheaper to fly to Europe and Asia than to fly within Africa. It has no real priorities, and it is never in a hurry to get anything done.
If Kim Il-Sung had African generals at that meeting in 1991 and he asked them the same question Kim Jong-Il answered, their answer would probably have been something like, "We'll propose terms of surrender with a soft landing for ourselves and our families."
Africans deep down haven't recovered from the psychological effects of multi-century slavery and colonisation, and as such, appear truly incapable of perceiving themselves as the main characters - even in their own stories...
Convert the balance to Naira and see how much savings she has per month. Then do a comparative analysis of your own "salary" using same parameters and you will be ashamed of yourself...
@Princemoye1 Professionally speaking, this "press release" is also election interference. Why not hold your intels until the election is over? What are the certainties that they are actually working for the PDP and not otherwise?
