@BolajiOyepoju Soludo spoke his indigenous language to the people of his state, the same with other SE & Northern govs. Lagos gov now have to speak English because...?? Entitlement mentality can be killing.
N10 billion in lagos life made me realize the maths that:
N10 billion is N1 million… 10,000 times.
apparently, if you spend N1 million daily, it would take more than 27 years before you finish spending N10 billion.
That is what ₦10 billion means.
OUR POLITICIANS HATE US !!!
Amaechi: Atiku and I will build five hundred thousand houses in each state, employ twenty million contractors, twenty million bricklayers, twenty million carpenters
Seun: Where will you get the money?
Amaechi: World Bank said about 7.9billion dollars was stolen by FG
Seun: No. They didn't say it was stolen. They said FG needs to clarify it
Amaechi: that means it is missing
Seun: They didn't use the word missing. They only demand clarification
Amaechi: Ok. What of the new national Anthem that Tinubu spent twelve billion naira on? Such money could have been used to provide healthcare
Seun: Can you prove this?
Amaechi: I overheard it.
A VERY USELESS OPPOSITION
Amaechi couldn’t afford medication to save his mother’s life, but he had ₦100 million for ADC Presidential nomination form.
Those politicians knows hw to fool themselves
Dino is suggesting that, if global crude oil price remains as high as it is today, Federal Government will pay N1,000 per liter subsidy on every petrol purchased by every Nigerian. As at August, 2026, the daily consumption of petrol in Nigeria stood at 50.5million liters, which means the total subsidy payment per day by FG will be 50.5m x 1000 =N50.5B daily and 50.5b × 365= N18.45 trillion per year.
More than half of this will escape to Niger, Chad, Benin Republic and Cameroon where petrol is never subsidized but sold at market rate. Smart businessmen will buy N400 in Nigeria and take it to our neighbors at N1500. Superlative profit. Thereby causing unprecedented fuel scarcity and abysmal queues in Nigeria, draining the foreign reserves, crashing revenues, abandoning infrastructures, inability to pay salaries and pensions and collapse of a nation!!!!
God forbid!

LANDLOCKED IS GEOGRAPHY, NOT DESTINY.
Let us stop making geography an excuse for the absence of development.
Some of Nigeria’s zones do not have direct access to the sea. That is a geographical fact. It is not a development sentence.
Look at Switzerland. No coastline. Yet it built globally competitive pharmaceuticals, precision engineering, finance, advanced manufacturing, and high-value services.
Look at Austria. No coastline. Yet it has built manufacturing, logistics, tourism, and sophisticated services by integrating itself into the enormous European market.
Look at Luxembourg. No coastline. Yet it has become a major financial, logistics, and technology centre by understanding one fundamental principle: your market does not have to end where your territory ends.
So why should a landlocked Nigerian zone behave as though the absence of a seaport means the absence of an economic future?
The real question is not, “Where is our sea?”
The question is: “Where is our strategy?”
A serious leader must understand that a landlocked economy requires deliberate investment in roads, rail, dry ports, inland logistics, aviation, storage, processing, digital infrastructure, power, and cross-border trade corridors. You do not need a coastline to export. You need an efficient route to somebody else’s coastline.
And this is where leadership becomes decisive.
If your zone cannot have a seaport, then build the most efficient inland production and distribution system possible. If your farmers cannot ship directly from the coast, process their commodities locally and move higher-value products through efficient corridors. If your manufacturers are far from the port, build industrial clusters around rail, road, and logistics infrastructure. If your people are far from international markets, make your cities centres of skills, services, technology, and enterprise.
Geography tells you what you have to overcome. Leadership decides whether you overcome it.
There is also a difficult conversation that the people of these regions must have with themselves.
Development requires an investment-friendly culture. Investors need predictability, security, social stability, openness to enterprise, and a population that understands that economic activity is not an invasion. A hostile environment—whether created by insecurity, extortion, communal obstruction, excessive demands, political interference, or suspicion of legitimate business raises the cost of doing business and ultimately drives opportunity elsewhere.
That is not an indictment of an entire people. It is a challenge to behaviour and institutions.
Nobody is coming to develop a place permanently if every investor must first fight their way through the politics, insecurity, bureaucracy, and social resistance surrounding the investment.
The successful regions of the world understood something important: capital follows opportunity, but opportunity follows order.
Nigeria’s landlocked zones therefore need a new development compact.
Stop asking only what the Federal Government will bring.
Ask: What can our governors build? What can our local governments facilitate? What can our traditional institutions protect? What can our people produce? What infrastructure can connect us to the nearest port? What industries can turn our raw materials into finished goods? What behaviour must change to make investors want to stay?
This is the leadership conversation we should be having.
A seaport is an asset.
But a seaport without production is merely infrastructure.
Switzerland does not own a coastline. Austria does not own a coastline. Luxembourg does not own a coastline.
They understood that economic geography is not simply about where you are located. It is about how efficiently you connect where you are to where the world is.
Nigeria’s landlocked zones should stop waiting for geography to change.
The passenger sitting next to me on the flight kept getting up to use the restroom.
Not once.
Not twice.
Every 15–20 minutes.
By the fourth time, the flight attendant started noticing too.
The man would quietly unbuckle his seat belt, lean over me, and whisper, “Sorry.”
Then he’d disappear down the aisle.
The third time, I finally asked, “Are you okay?”
He smiled.
“Yeah. Just a nervous flyer.”
I laughed.
“Then you picked the wrong place to sit.”
He laughed too.
But about an hour into the flight, he got up again.
This time, he looked pale…
When he came back, he sat down and kept staring at his phone.
A few minutes later, his hands started shaking.
I thought he was sick.
“Do you need the flight attendant?”
He shook his head.
Then he whispered, “My daughter is in the hospital.”
I looked at him.
“She had surgery this morning. I’m flying home because they told me she might not make it through the night.”
Suddenly, all those trips to the restroom made sense.
He wasn’t using the bathroom.
He was going there because it was the only place on the plane where he could quietly break down without anyone watching.
I didn’t know what to say.
So I just put my hand on his shoulder.
He nodded.
For the rest of the flight, he didn’t get up again.
When we landed, he grabbed his bag and rushed toward the exit.
Before he disappeared, he turned around.
“Thanks for not making me explain myself.”
I watched him run through the terminal.
Sometimes the person who looks strange, impatient, or uncomfortable is carrying something you know absolutely nothing about.
Let me have your attention:
The gèlè vs I.chaf00l conversation you see every moment on the TL is being sponsored.
It's deeper than you think and the real battle ground is not on X.
These guys have gone on Wikipedia and her sister Websites to vandalise these pages replacing gèlè with I.chaf00l.
We have roundly defeated them on Wikipedia (I won't go into much details) that's why they come here every market day to shout I.chaf00l bla bla.
They are doing this to ragebait you into giving the topic more social media visibility and search engine validation and indexing as they want their actions here to commemorate their efforts on the vandalised pages.
The more you mention I.chaf00l in its correct form beside gele, the more they appear on search engines when gèlè is being searched for.
Don't give them that clout!
1a. Any post that mentions I.chaf00l. Don't engage it, send me, @NoNonsensezone, @og_beeping101 or @nezzylina the link.
1b. Mute the poster.
2. Any Yorùbá you see mentioning I.chaf00l or commenting on a post that does so, send them a courtesy DM to explain the danger of what they doing.
3. Always mispell I.chaf00l - this is very important.
4. Their ring leader is that girl approaching menopause coming here to beg for husband daily. Her puuussy is on the TL. When she makes a video and you feel too itchy to reply her, you know what to do.
Starve them of attention and watch them go into oblivion.
We own this street and we alone can decide what trends or not. This is not a battle of gèlè alone. They will come for agbada, fìlà and everything that belongs to us but we must be ready.
Yours in Strategic Consciousness,

For the culture 👍
Nobody is suing you @_dinomelaye . We will not squander scarce state resources to amplify a fool's misadventure. Our only offering is knowledge so this folly does not creep beyond the bounds of your household.
There is a difference between school fees and upkeep allowance. And sometimes, the easiest way to expose misinformation is simply to read the policy before attacking it. Dino, please read.
The man says NELFUND gives students only ₦20,000 and asks: “Which government school takes ₦20,000 as annual school fees?”
That question should be, who says, that's the tuition?
₦20,000 is NOT the annual school fee. It is the approved MONTHLY UPKEEP allowance.
NELFUND itself states that the student loan has two distinct components:
1. INSTITUTIONAL CHARGES - paid straight to the University - This is the tuition.
2. UPKEEP LOAN - Paid straight to the student - this is the ₦20,000 monthly welfare.
So, no, the Federal Government is not sending ₦20,000 to a university as tuition fees, it is additional welfare package seperate from their tuition.
Do you understand now Dino? Or you will prefer I sing it as a song? Or chant it as a dirge?
$3 BILLION GAS INVESTMENT LOADING: from @nipcoplc
2: NIPCO’s planned Floating LNG project around Escravos or Akwa Ibom could unlock billions in investment, thousands of jobs and future FX earnings.
3: This is what policy stability under FG not Tinubu can unlock: investor confidence, long-term capital and new projects.
4: This investment will translate into Nigerian jobs: engineers, technicians, construction workers, logistics and local suppliers.
5: Stable policies. More investment. More jobs. More prosperity.
6: the market is in Europe.
7: Nigeria gas no dey finish, plenty yafun yafun.
This is why Nigerian crude oil is priced internationally.
Once you tamper with the price, you create room for arbitrage, which will lead to corruption.
Which tribe is the highest sellers of children in nigeria, women who will give birth to a baby and sell it for money. People who have upto 4 to 5 of their babies sold out for money in nigeria. Listen to this woman
