The signs that in the next 100yrs successive governments both at state and federal level will still be playing politics of road building.

Every single year, every government builds never ending roads that will be destroyed in few years, and the cycle continues.

Tueh!

Absolutely spot on.

Look at the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway — one of the busiest highways in Nigeria. It was first commissioned by Obasanjo in 1978. Since then, every other president has practically “recommissioned” it.
-Obj again as a civilian president initiated repairs in the early 2000s.
- Jonathan flagged off a major reconstruction in 2013.
- Buhari finally commissioned it in 2023, 45 years after it was first built.
- Now, in 2025, President Tinubu

That’s one road — built, rebuilt, flagged off, and re-flagged for nearly five decades.

So yes, you’re right. At this rate, in 100 years, our children may still be attending “commissioning ceremonies” for the same roads we’re driving on today.

A complete joke.

so that law says anyone house can be demolished without the person having a day in court ?by the governor?

Wait till one day a Governor will claim his political opponent is a kidnapper and demolish his building without appropriate lawful process of court proceedings.

Their state house of assembly wrote the law.

If it brings sanity to their land. So be it

masseratti:
i don't understand how our governors think,they even lack the powers to demolish anyone's building with out due process,it's a civil government..not a military...

Understandable but in the case of Enugu State, there are existing laws that specifically address kidnapping. According to the state’s legislation:

- Kidnapping with a firearm is a capital offense.
- Kidnapping without a firearm carries a 10-year prison sentence.
- Landlords are held liable for any criminal activity that occurs on their property whether they were aware of it or not.
- The law also mandates forfeiture and demolition of any property used in the commission of kidnapping.

These laws were ed by the Enugu State House of Assembly, not arbitrarily enforced by the governor. So, in this case, the government is acting within the legal framework already in place.

Samueltemi337:


If he is good enough
We have seen lots of footballers children who didn't reach the height of their fathers
Or even come close

That’s true in some cases, but there are plenty of examples where the sons have matched or even sured their fathers. Erling Haaland did it, , Schmeichel did it, Paolo Maldini . . .

Being a footballer’s son doesn’t guarantee success, but it doesn’t limit it either. Talent, work ethic, and mindset matter more than bloodlines. If he’s good enough, he’s good enough—name or no name.

Y’all forget these refineries.

They are dead!!

DeLaRue:



Most police investigations are based on a degree of speculation. Police can arrest you if it has a reasonable cause to believe that you're connected to an alleged crime. If the investigation establishes that the arrestee is not connected to the crime, then the arrestee is released.

What's important is for the Police not to abuse the 'reasonable cause' basis for initiating or embarking on an arrest.

As for Mr Yahya Bello, he underwent a police investigation, and his case is proceeding in court. The Nigerian constitution permits him to 'walk free' - as you put, until and if the court finds him guilty.

While it’s true that the constitution presumes innocence until proven guilty, the reality on the ground tells a different story. The same constitution allows ordinary Nigerians to be thrown into jail within 10 days over mere allegations—many without trial for months or years. Yet, high-profile politicians accused of stealing billions walk free for years, shielded by endless court delays, injunctions, or outright withdrawal of cases.

Take Peter Odili for example—since 2007, he’s been protected by a perpetual injunction stopping the EFCC from even investigating him. Saminu Turaki was charged with laundering billions in 2007, but his case is still unresolved almost 20 years later. Orji Kalu’s conviction was overturned on a technicality and he’s yet to be retried. Ladoja’s case has dragged on since 2008 with no closure. Danjuma Goje’s corruption case was withdrawn by the Attorney General.

It is not just about the law, but a lack of political will and deep-rooted judicial corruption. If ordinary citizens are denied such leniency, then justice in Nigeria is clearly not blind—it’s selective.

gulfer:
I don't get it, what's their business with inspecting a road construction when there's a minister, a minister of state, ministry officials, inspectors etc or they just want to visit their allocated plots of land along the axis but have to hide under the guide of oversight

There is a House Committee on Works. A representative from every state and FCT. They monitor construction and maintenance of Federal roads and bridges.

tutudesz:

His properties round Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt paint a different picture

Yeah alongside Minimah, they were all involved in the $2.1bn arms scam. EFCC seized some of his properties including hotels.

mayor1814:

He is a thief and a criminal.

richeeyo:

I leaved in ilorin for 27years,and i totally agree with you

Tony Tetuiila never planned to be a musician until he watched Remedies perform in Ilorin’s. Unilorin and KwaraPoly held concerts back to back then.

L.T 1 on P.S hosted some of the biggest artistes in Nigeria at different times. We watched the likes of Tribesmen, Maintain Okey Bakassy, ArtQuake, DJ Shina perform at on stage.

We watched Tuface, basketmouth perform at newly built stellar Obasanjo at Tanke. Students used to look forward to Engineering Week. I can we brought Jimmy Jatt to P.S back to back.

Kwara Poly used to bring the biggest Fuji artiste to town. It always ended with frat fights and so called counting scores…

Good old days…

MasterTeeUSA:
If you have followed documentary of migrats from Venezuela and so on, they do the same thing that we do...take loans of close to $30k to pay smugglers, or from families...sell assets with the mind that they will work in the USA..now Trump wants all of them to self deport. Some are even stranded in Mexico as we speak. Power is transient. Govt ought to be a continuum. Trump's legacy I am sure history may not be so kind. We shall see.

The way I see it, Trump’s immigration policies primarily target documented migrants—people who entered the U.S. legally through official programs or valid visas (student, work, tourist, etc.) and either overstayed or are transitioning between statuses. These are the individuals caught in the crossfire of stricter rules and policy changes.

Meanwhile, undocumented migrants—many of whom, like thousands of Mexicans, Venezuelas cross the border illegally—continue to enter the country without being tracked. These individuals are essentially invisible to the system until they get into legal trouble. Ironically, Trump’s policies don’t even address this group effectively; instead, they create more roadblocks for those trying to follow the legal path.

tunwumi:


Build a career first then you can come and comment like this.

Been there, done that!

tunwumi:


You may be right. But they also deserve the growth in their careers after many years of unblemish service.

They have been there for decades that’s why we are where we are. Same thing over and over expecting a different result?

Cleanse the floor- The nation comes first

frog12:

Spread some money around. Names will keep dropping off the cases. Re-arraignment will never stop.

Konquest:

This thread says a whole lot about personal finance.

We are not where we want to be, but we thank God for where we at.

Food is the least of our problems.

AgroBizSolution:

People that graduated in 2012, 13 years ago?

Abi eye dey pain me?

Caption says “Throwback”

Ihenzy:
How can I export sesame and cashew nut please

You can start from you-tube.

It is not as straightforward as it might seem though. The export business in Nigeria is largely driven by foreigners and foreign companies, with just a few local guys operating on the crumbs. Many of these companies establish their presence here, dominate the market, export the produce, and repatriate the earnings to their home countries.

Once you get into the industry—especially if you aim to scale big—you’ll quickly see as e dey go. It’s a challenging space to navigate, but with persistence, it’s very possible to carve out yours.

PS: DONT READ THE REST OF THE COMMENTS BELOW. JUST HEAD STRAIGHT TO YOUTUBE!! - NO TIME!!

What’s the point of keeping staffs that can’t generate their own salaries?

JASONjnr:
The good police officers are always intimidated into doing the bad things of the corrupt police officers or risk their jobs and accused of crimes they never committed.


E no go better for the person that created the Nigerian police force and the person that's corrupting the institution.

No put mouth for family matter.

There are no good cops

NewHe:
Must you talk?

The MD no stupid to send representative nah? 😂

MEGAWATCH:

MEGAWATCH:




You are a criminal and a very big liar.

This is an insult to Kwara people.

Nonsense.

Disclaim it nah?

Tell me where Bukola Saraki’s house was in Kwara during his 8 year tenure.

Coldspice:
How many politicians can beat their chest and say the same?

Bukola Saraki used same style.

He was shuffling the govt house and his Dad’s house in his 8 year tenure and didn’t own a house to his name in the state. They made so much noise about.

Little did the local indigenes know he was buying up ikoyi high rises and Maitama properties.

He became the Senate President without a “house” 😂

flokii:


The problem I see is incompetence.. they have used quota system and nepotism to employ dullards into the Agencies responsible for transforming the Petroleum Industry in Nigeria.
We are on a long thing in this country with the self-sabotaging silence from Southerners while the unintelligent continue to hold us hostage.

Go to North, you won't still see what they are using all the stolen money for.. It's their private pockets with some buying houses and estates in Dubai.

Those refineries will NEVER work as long as the decisions are still been made by government officials.

Government has no business running a business. They should privatize them.

Throwback:


If this was in the saner clime we love to tout, that guy will be buried in both criminal and civil law suits.

Any smooth talking crook gets away with defrauding customers in a country where there is no serious framework for customer protection.

If he easy, go run am!
