Ojuntana:

Why is Akpabio picking on her and sexualising her
First he accused a married woman of behaving like she's in a night club
Then his aide wrote on Facebook that she doesn't know more than rubbing pancake and wearing transparent clothes
All these are red flags
Joy Nunieh accused him once

This is distraction. It has nothing to do with the event in the Senate. If Akpabio's aide insulted her then her aide can equally insult Akpabio. Raising an issue that is entirely outside the event is a make-believe, after thought and distraction.

malali:
Akpabio should recuse himself and hand over to the deputy senate president while he also submits himself to the ethics committee.

OR

They should appoint a bipartisan special investigator to look into the claims of sexual harassment allegations laid against Akpabio, this is not the first times such allegations are leveled against Akpabio.

We have to set good examples and show that everyone is held able. Akpabio cannot be the judge, the jury and executioner. As he has always been. This is not any different from military regime. We have to show the world , this is indeed a democracy.

Someone had an issue in the Senate and was asked to do the right thing rather than face the real issue she left it and excavated something that happened (let's believe that it's true) between them long ago that she kept quiet.

If you have a subordinate that did the wrong thing and you punished her. Rather than prove that she did the right thing and that you are wrong in punishing her, she will come up with the alibi that you sexually harassed her six months ago. Does this make sense? Why didn't her make the allegation when it happened?

Ojuntana:
Akpabio did not apply wisdom in dealing with the woman

There's no way he will come out smelling good from this

This woman's allegation is bunkum. If it's true why wait until an issue came up. As a senator she had all the powers and resources to institute an action. Why wait until now. If I'm Akpabio I will institute an action and claim heavy damages and let her prove the allegation.

EmeeNaka:
So far as Nigerians, who feels oppressed, are not willing to put their life in line to defend what they believe in, the APC led political class will continue to do the unthinkable.

Put yours first......then others will follow you

Vadese1:
It's a win win for the governor. He will appoint local government s for now and do another soonest. Wike will not come near

No law s appointment of .

tunjijones:


But I read somewhere last week that this govt have used about 8 billion dollars to defend the naira so far.

You people will be talking like you are a CBN staff or Tinubu is your cousin and he gave you this information directly.

You choose to believe whatever lie and propaganda this govt is dishing out and I choose not to believe it....

Then the score is 1:1. You choose and I choose therefore no offence. Regarding defending the naira with 8 billion dollars, read Rewane's statement disowning that.

I'm not any politician's defender but I understand economics and finance. I know that the managers of our economy have been padding things for so many years. Our exchange rate then was not realistic. Do you know that back then people earn money abroad, bring it in by exchanging it at the parallel market, use the naira to buy fx at official rate and transfer out of the country. By this movement £1,000 brought in will go back to the UK at about £1,700. It takes courage and political risk to take some of the decisions that this regime has taken. This is not to say that they don't have their flaws. BAT is very courageous.

bestman09:

This one dey learn. He better say the truth on time before the table will turn against him.

On another note, he may be saying the truth.

officers can help you get referrals even from people that doesn't know you just for you to open a corporate with them. They can also help you boost your with money coming in and going out without your input for a small fee especially if you aim to use the bank statement for visa or to pursue big contracts.

How can money leave your without your authorization. It's illegal.

tunjijones:


Bros calm down,you really want me to celebrate dollar at 1500. Really

Less than 10 years same dollar was 200 or thereabout.

You mean subsidized dollar of 10 years ago? What you have now is close to the true value of your currency. You lived fake life back then. You are now paying for it now. Thank God for a leader that has courage.

ivandragon:
Hmm...

In January 2014, FAAC shared N630b which was equivalent to $2b...

In February 2025, FAAC shared N1.8trn which is equivalent to $1.2b...

Make of that what you will...

Keep converting.....dollarised brain

Angelfrost:
The question many of you will never bother asking is...

What exactly do these states do with these monthly allocations?!!


All you guys do is abuse Tinubu from morning till night.

I wonder why so much pressure is put on the federal government. The federal government is getting almost half of what the states and LGAs are getting.

Biodun556:
The money will make sense as naira continues to gain strength

The exchange rate will go up now because the state governors will steal and convert to dollar.

motymop:
Yeah, 500k is still a big money in Nigeria.

Many Nigerians do not earn 500k per month.

The fact is that inflation is affecting your money.

Try to cut your coat according to your size.

Which size? According to his cloth jor.

All that I can see is a lazy youth. Trump will not allow this deceit. Those days are gone.

ZombieDredd:

God will have mercy on your soul.

Nigeria has never had 12 grid collapse in 12 months, but here you are capping.

If there has been constant investment in transmission this will not happen. There is more power wired now but the transmission is weak so the collapse. So blame governments and not one government.

drugBaronTINUBU:

Power supply improved where?
Before Tinubu my area used to receive 14 to 15hours electricity daily
Now we dont even get upto 10hours per day and we are paying times 2 for it

Go and buy prepaid meter. I dey get light up to 20 hours a day but I pay heavily. So I ration.

Nonybb:
APC is comparing failure(N1730/$ last year) with failure(N1490/$ this year). Return it back to N500/$ at least and then we are going somewhere

No more subsidy please 🥺

alphaconde:


How is his cement not the cheapest?

Did he stop other cement producers from selling below his price?

Mrexcell:






Not true corrupt public office holders are worse the billions and trillions they steal destroys millions of lives. Bad roads that causes daily untimely deaths, unemployment, poorly maintained hospitals etc.. leads to massive untimely deaths and they are all caused by corrupt govt officials who loot public funds mindlessly.

You have not explained how fake drugs dealers are better because you are comparing two groups.

creolehunt:
It's a shame that everything is politicised in this country and most governmental actions are taken to score cheap political points.

What happened to due process and legal guidelines.

How many people have been arrested and taken to court beyond caring away drugs?

Why is the entire market shutdown even when not all traders deal on drugs?

If the onistsha market is shutdown why is the Idumota market still open?

Idumota market is still owned by the same people.

MadPolitician:
NAFDAC made mistakes or maybe they intentionally wanted to hyjack traders goods for whatever reasons.
They are using a good excuse to perpetuate evil at places like Onitsha.

The Onitsha drug market has thousands of shops. Many of those are selling drugs, others are selling other things.
There is a very important need to find fake drugs and arrest those involved on that. Everybody agrees to this including most of the traders.

Problem is that NAFDAC invaded these markets at the wee hours of the night, blocked all entrances to the markets, and started pulling down shops and breaking into peoples shops without the owners of the shops being allowed to come around. How is that right?

Most traders have many millions in cash inside their shops. Most products may have been packed in ways that need explanation for the NAFDAC officials to understand. All that was required was the presence of the traders. If they are found to be selling fakes, they should be arrested and if not, their shops should be opened.

But NAFDAC officials prefer a gangster approach by going into shops, opening shops, taking whatever they want without the owners allowed to be present, when the owners are just a pole away..., that is nothing but an abuse of power!

See one of them oooo. Killer

Foodempire:
The Economy is only growing on paper, citizens are in severe pains. Frown faces all over town, our purchasing power have been crippled already. Small Uber corolla is now 9/9.5 m yet some foolish ones will still vote this government in the next election, the idio.ts in nigeria are more than the wise hence the politicians will keep playing us fool

The greatest mistake that Nigeria will make will be to bring in another regime in 2027. The results of the reforms are beginning to emerge. A reversal will seriously hurt the economy. Imagine going back to multiple exchange rate regime, fixed exchange rate regime, return of petrol subsidy, slow down of efforts to increase crude oil production, reversal of tax policies etc etc. Almost all state governments will be grounded, salaries will be owed, projects abandoned. We will return to the era of using ways and means to fund recurrent expenditure.

Mrexcell:
I will the death penalty if only they will implement it first on any corrupt public office holder or civil servant who steals above #50m of public funds.

Fake drugs dealers are worse than corrupt government officials.

creativejagaban:




We know your tribe don't read

If you can quote in the article where Nigeria was mentioned, I will start ing Obi.

The OP probably drank mad man's poopo to have included Nigeria in the heading.

This is headless mob at play
Their blood pressure runs high whenever Nigeria is mentioned.....what a waste of a tribe

Some people think that there's an award for condemning and insulting Nigeria. They don't know that they are demarketing themselves. Mali released a statement on a policy by America. Nowhere Nigeria was mentioned. The op twisted it and included Nigeria in the headline. Fiam.... Nigerians started insulting and condemning their country. Nawaooo

dannygood:
Where was Nigeria mentioned?

Abi ooo

saintmm:
What is actually our stand in international diplomacy?
What actually is Nigeria doing in BRICS if you don't share the same diplomatic ideology with them.
With this, I see Nigeria on the middle of no where on international politics.

If you're pro-west then have nothing to do with BRICS and of you're for BRICS, stand with them.
If you want to be neutral then be.

Nigeria's foreign policy from the days of cold war has always been non-aligned.

aikyg:
How is the market notorious? What kind of narrative are you pushing? The Onitsha market is not the only market in the country where we have discovered fake products. Why is it the only market to be closed?

Wherever you find them, our people are behind it - onitsha, Aba, nnewi, idumota, trade fair, Kano etc.

SmartPolician:
It's totally wrong to shut down an entire market for the crimes of others - even if they are in the majority.

Good people cannot be paying for the crimes of evil people. Doing so defeats the essence of goodness.

Pick out the evil folks and deal with them ruthlessly.

When you have a neighbour that is a known criminal you better report him else the government will come and seal off the premises.

fastseo:
Why closing a whole market? The drug section is just 2 to 3 lines of shops while there are over 80 to 100 lines selling different things

This are market where they have to clothing section, building materials section, cosmetic section, foodstuffs station etc. Its a big market...

You can't close down the whole market instead close the affected section of the market.

What has someon who sells vegetables n red oil got to do with this matter that u close down sources of livelihood.

Some of the fake drugs are hidden in these sections that you mentioned.

ManOfSon:
Give it a maximum of three years!

Nay

Where is Obi's part in the struggle? Why did he not come out then under Abacha? Today his boys praise him as the saviour of Nigeria.

kingbee90:
Bulaba and his likes can't do shit by themselves. They are always scared to be at the fore front of every battle.
Always begging people with balls like El rufai, Nyesom Wike etc to do things for them.

No balls.

Nonsensical talk. So a president will do everything himself?

Nchenches:


It's the greed and fault of Owerri people, not God, that made Owerri the only place that sees modern development and urban expansion in Imo state. The greed and faulty concentration of 100% of government institutions of Imo state in Owerri, but no consideration for what to locate in the other zones of Imo state to induce modern develooment in them.

It's the same stupidity which makes your lot say the FALSEHOOD "Imo state is Owerri and Owerri is Imo state."
Go to Anambra and say Anambra State is Awka, and Awka is Anambra State, you will be pushed into the gutters.

Hahaha who sabi Awka? Owerri has been notable since the days of east central state. You sabi one awkward okigwe or orlu?
