Anything can happen. As-As couples are usually the ones who have to wish their ex Goodluck. They can't have them as much as they wanted to.

olatade:
Everyone's busy trying to please the powerful. One man’s ego is more important than an entire country. How did we let it get this bad?

iwaeda:
When did Tinubu turned God to forgive sins?

Every empire, at the height of its arrogance, eventually crumbles.

Bearfruit:
The idiot was plotting rape and murder,thank God for his deliverance from that wicked man.

Do you mind sharing?

Globad:


Why should an average Joe be able to afford luxury cars, anywhere in the world?

Eh?

It may be sad if a civil servant isn't able to afford a car for his regular use. There's nothing sad in an average civil servant not being able to afford a luxury car.

Get it right...there's nothing sad in a regular guy not being able to afford a luxury item.

People should stop codedly promoting corruption and other forms of crime

It's insane the level of money worship going on right now. People are under undue pressure to make it, fake it and shake it. There is nothing like a mind and heart that knows peace and isn't moved by these material illusions and desire to feel better than the other using material things. It's a mental disorder because once you remove the material objects, these individuals cannot stand on their own 🤡

Irresponsible reporting. Why are you using her name to sell a story

JAMB: Again, Mmesoma Breaks UTME Record In Anambra


Another Nmemsoma, but now Obiora-Nwokedi Nmesoma, a student of Queens Convent Awka in Anambra State,

Rubbish. You just lied. You couldn't even get the names right

jchioma:
Put aside your personal interests for the referendum to work. If a referendum comes with an option, then your selfish ambition to be president against a Southern candidate/aspirant will work in Tinubu’s favor. You guys (opposition) need a referendum among yourselves to choose A candidate from the South to first before anything else.

You mean poll, not referendum. A referendum is by citizens. Atiku and the rest need to be polled.

eepeepook:
See the completely different spellings. Now, how will I mistake one word for the other?

C'mon. Nausea has no look. You probably were trying to use the word innocuous

eepeepook:
She looks good. She lost the nauseous look I always saw on her face as a teenager.

Nauseous or innocent

Reference:
Not only that but the fact that he was a visible, vocal er of the retention of the subsidy regime only to trumpet the removal as an achievement.

The point is that at what point did the volte face happen. When did the eureka moment dawn on him that it was a corruption ridden waste of resources, because all other so called social intervention programs promoted by his party's various governments have met with similar dubious fates.

papyjaypaul:
It's when you have a politician in power you talk about the next election before halftime. It means that kind of person has nothing to offer but politics. They can't govern. They can't lead. Think about it. It mens Tinubu has nothing to show for that it's 2027 that's the hot topic in 2025. Normally, we would be talking about 2 years in office but we are talking about who will defeat him. What a country.

This man's focus is on 2027 and you are talking about policy. You gonna learn!

Okoroawusa:
9 Cedis is 90000 Cedis.
When Cedis was redominated in 2007, it was 10000 Cedis to USD. Four zeroes were removed to make it 1 Cedis to 1 USD. Now it has depreciated to 90000 Cedis and you are all clapping.

I never knew we had this much Gen Z on Nairaland.

Obaaderemi2:
You can buy Ghanaian yam and palm oil in supermarkets in Europe and America. Why is it difficult for Nigeria to do same?

Naira Re-Denomination Suspended

KnowAll:
The president has spoken (100 days in power watched it last night), Redomination of the naira is not neccessary as we dont have hyper - inflation like Zimbabwe or Ghana where $1 changes for C18,000.00 b4 their recent re-denomonitaion. In Zimbabwe it is even worse where $1 is about Z$100,000.00 dollars.

thesicilian:
Commendable, I'm impressed. But you do also realize that exchange rate does not necessarily equal purchasing power parity?. As in, even if 1 Ghana cedis is = 1 dollar, it doesn't mean they both have the same economic value in both countries?

Correct.
One dollar to the Japanese Yen is 144
One dollar to the Chinese yuan is 0.14
One dollar to the South Africa rand is 17

opes:
Same Makinde that openly worked against his party, PDP in 2023?

Same makinde that is suspected to run for president in 2027.

All politics. If PDP cannot call him to order I don't want the president to even if I know it's expected.

A child who doesn't listen to his parents and takes the tout outside as a parent has told you who his new parent is. It's up to you to disown him until he comes to his senses, take him away from the street or let him face his destiny alone on the street.

The world doesn't care about you and think about you as much as you think of yourself and for yourself.

Make out of that what you wish.

Aleister:
Nothing is as painful as losing a parent, worst of all is now losing both. This is too huge a loss to bear.

May your parents rest on with God, Nwabali.

Sometimes we don't realize it's better to have the loved ones go together than have one of them stay back and see the agony in their grief

It looks like an Ai article but the points still make sense.

Angelfrost:


Of course the authorities are largely to blame for not doing their jobs, but parents and society are also at fault.

Ever heard of parental intuition?!! This comes from the place of bonding and morality.

If something is off about your child's source of wealth, you will know instantly...!

Truth is, a lot of you Nigerians worship money, and have put off your moral responsibilities towards a saner society... No wonder your needless and weak justifications.

I have witnessed parents who knew their kids were fraudsters, yet failed to say a word of reproach or reject their gifts.

My own parents don't have much and didn't become overly wealthy, but I would never dare bring a dime of ill-gotten wealth to them, cos they would curse me and reject it.

I grew up in the midst of such people, and that made me and a lot of my childhood friends decide never to yield to the temptation of dirty and unclean wealth.

When I visited my father-in-law for his permission to court and marry his daughter, the man grilled me for an hour like an FBI agent about my income source and livelihood... He even demanded proof.


Blaming authorities and leaving out the first and foundational unit of society (family) makes no sense.

CommonSense1967:


Just as the Governor is powerful, the House is more powerful, and they can remove him. Unfortunately for him, most of the House listen to WIke more than they listen to him.
The House can be influenced by anyone as long as it is not by force. If he can't influence the house to sympathize with him, then that's his loss.

It's still what I'm talking about. Ladoja Rasheed of Oyo, Peter Obi of Anambra, Ayo Fayose of Ekiti, Joshua Dariye of Plateau and our popular Alamieyeseigha were removed by the house through political influence. Even Femi Pedro, once he left AC to Labor Party as Deputy to Tinubu was impeached by the compromised assembly.

We are just pretending. If we want a select few to choose, let's just do it and stop this joke of elections and rule of law.

What a disgraceful thing to say. It's like Nigeria wants fiefdom, if that's the case, let's leave this democracy thing and go to grab it, Snatch it and run away with it.

Wike is not the first godfather we'll have. Adelabu showed Ladoja something. Nnamani tried to become a lord, Akpabio, Oshiomole, Orji Uzor Kalu, Sani Yerima, Dariye, Akume, Ibori, Igbinedion, Bafarra have all tried it. They failed. They will eventually fight.

One thing they never did, except maybe Chris Ngige is to carry the shrine of their godfather and show it to us. The office of the governor is more powerful than the governor. If this man doesn't want it, let him resign.

I don't blame him, what you didn't fight for and they dashed you, it's hard to appreciate. Imagine Tonye Cole talking like this.

Commentor:


I know you meant insurance but you are wrong.

Many states that endure natural disasters are often avoided by insurance companies.

So, many would get no compensation.

They will call it an act of God like they did to COVID.

You go abroad to troll your country. Your GPS is faulty.

RichBoy247:


You go explain tire

Blame the game, it's all politics. Last time, it was Osinbanjo they were sending around. This time, it's Shettima. When PDP didn't want to lose, Sambo went to the North to read Quran to appeal to those who said he was Christianizing the North. Now it's islamization of the country with MUmu ticket.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uln_AK6yB2U

Politicians will play the game, only if the masses can open their eyes. They don't care where you belong, they just want to protect their interest, only the masses divide themselves.
The media too will carry the news, because it's all info, or what you guys call content. How much of the content affects your life? Only you can answer it.

I said this some days ago. APC is trying to court the youth and they will do it with videos like this. Not that it is wrong, I'm just saying it as it is. They want to appeal to the young people, so expect more videos and pictures like this to make it look like they relate with the young. It's part of propaganda, distractions to take you away from your suffering.

If you ask me, na who I go ask? Linda Ikeji and Ikeji alone. Not guesses.

DesChyko:
This is very weird. We actually want to go band for band between the flooding in Lekki and the flooding in Houston? The forecasts and early warnings? The preparations? The government budget and intervention plans?

You can take the man from the corn field, but you can't take the corn out of the man.

That's how one was mouthing off about how Chicago is a cesspit with gun violence..yet, Chicago has an average life expectancy of 70 years for the blacks there while Nigeria wallows at 56 years.

The extreme weather conditions they have in USA CANNOT be compared to Nigeria's. Nigeria has been blessed, so blessed that the American government would be mad at us for wasting nature's gift to us.

Omoawoke:
There’s no achievement in this….




Perfect description

Someone is accumulating lower degrees and they are celebrating …

It’s like saying someone is the first person to have OND, HND, BSc, Masters, PhD

The question is do you need to be comparing OND, HND to someone with PhD from Harvard ?

Maybe people want to appreciate what they have. If the world doesn't celebrate you, celebrate yourself.

I am just an observer, however they want to fight their hands of thrones, it's their headache but never say never, empires eventually fall and the ant inside the hill is more dangerous than the ones outside. The ant who was once in the hill can also be dangerous.

Take this report with a pinch of salt because the newspaper that published this story is The Nation, owned by the President.

Justnation:





Mr man for your information, aregbesola was tinubu's henchman and longtime political strategist.
Without aregbesola, tinubu lost osun state.

If aregbesola genuinely forces against tinubu, he will reveal tinubu's weaknesses and key points.
Tinubu will fumble and fail if the likes of aregbesola, fayemi, ambode, etc stand-up against him.

He is a transactional leader, even in the election, you should notice how those who campaigned for him said he helped them in their personal life to do this and that. Those help were not without conditions. They made me chuckle because instead of the state working, they are happy with connections and that is what Nigeria is facing today. The people will get weaker and they will beg for favors. Nigerians should have learned from the Obasa saga to know how this man thinks. It is not in your best interest to have weak and disloyal people at the top.
He rewards loyalty so if those who have been with him so long desert him, that can be dangerous. A name you did not mention is Fashola.

dettolgel:


Tell me how believing that we can provide the basic things we need and not necessarily at the level provided by the western country a contradictions that warrants your defence?

Secondly, are you saying with the amount we are generating we can't afford to clear our streets of refuse dump?

That we can't afford to provide a decent public school and that we cant afford a decent healthcare system?

The only hope, the tiny hope I have is that it wasn't always this bad. This question you asked, we had a normal life or standard life in the 60s to the 70s, until Shagari era which sometimes makes me question democrazy. The hope I have is that Nigerians have istered Nigeria well in the past but the ones we have as leaders today, their wickedness needs to be studied. They make me think they are descendants of slave merchants, it may be in their DNA. That's why public service is public cervix, they will suck air from our throats.

They are like the puppets in francophone west Africa who did the bidding of the West. Nigeria wasn't giant of Africa for nothing but that giant is now iant today.

Take a look at LKJ in Lagos. He never claimed to build Lagos and I laugh at those who brag but cannot provide public water supply and good schools to the people. What came to my mind this morning was Emefiele and LKJ. Emefiele built estates, as we were told for his benefit while LKJ built houses for the public. These were two public servants. LKJ, with his position had more opportunities than Emefiele to loot public treasury. We can even say Emefiele should have fiscal discipline and knowledge as someone who headed a bank and was paid fat salaries. LKJ died in his personal house. He did not convert public assets to his own signaging agency, tax consultancy or TV station. These are all Nigerians. Same country, different opportunities, different outcomes. Hmmmm
