Kwara State missed the chance of influencing this type of project in the last 7+ years. Simply because of emotions. I hope Kwarans will learn politics before 2027. We need a person with Federal "connection" @egi_nupe
STATEMENT OF APPRECIATION TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, ON THE AWARD OF STRATEGIC CONTRACTS WORTH OVER ₦1 TRILLION AND ₦178 BILLION IN KADUNA STATE
On behalf of the Government and people of Kaduna State, I extend our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Federal Executive Council for the gracious approval and award of transformative infrastructure contracts that will indelibly reshape the economic and social landscape of our state.
Foremost among these is the Kaduna Light Rail Project; an ambitious undertaking spanning a 30-kilometre corridor from Rigachikun to Sabon Tasha, alongside a 20-kilometre line from Millennium City to Rigasa, forming a 50-kilometre metropolitan network with an estimated value of One Trillion Naira. Complementing this is the critical reconstruction of the Mando–Kaduna–Birnin Gwari road, a 122-kilometre artery valued at ₦178 billion. Together, these projects represent not merely investments in infrastructure, but a deliberate re-engineering of mobility, security, and economic vitality across Kaduna State.
The Federal Government’s support for the light rail project is both historic and catalytic. It reinforces our vision of an integrated transport ecosystem, anchored by the 24-kilometre Bus Rapid Transit system currently underway. Kaduna has taken a pioneering role in Northern Nigeria by articulating a comprehensive State Transport Policy, one that privileges efficiency, safety, environmental sustainability, and affordability. Through initiatives such as subsidised Compressed Natural Gas buses, modern terminals, and structured transit corridors, we are systematically positioning Kaduna as a premier hub for transportation and logistics.
That Kaduna has been selected to lead this transformation; emerging as only the second state in the federation to embark on a light rail system, speaks to the confidence reposed in our vision and our capacity for execution. It is a testament to a leadership philosophy at the centre that recognises potential, rewards preparedness, and advances development without prejudice.
Equally significant is the rehabilitation of the Mando–Birnin Gwari road, a project imbued with both symbolic and practical importance. I recall, with clarity and respect, Mr. President’s visit to Birnin Gwari in the lead-up to the 2023 general elections, at a time when the area was beset by insecurity and infrastructural neglect. His promise then was unequivocal. Today, that promise is being fulfilled. This road will not only enhance connectivity but also strengthen security, facilitate agricultural productivity, and restore confidence to communities long burdened by isolation.
Kaduna State remains resolute in its commitment to the diligent execution of these projects. We view them not as isolated interventions, but as enduring legacies; foundations upon which a more prosperous, secure, and connected future will be built.
We thank Mr. President for his steadfast commitment to Kaduna State and to the equitable development of our nation.
Senator Uba Sani, CON
Governor of Kaduna State

This is another States receiving federal attention xitter.cf/i/status/2050109191122…
Last month, during the airport commissioning in Iperu, Ogun State, people complained about the state of the Ibadan—Ijebu Ode road. Actions were taken on the valid concerns.
Yesterday, the Federal Executive Council awarded N295bn for the dualisation of the Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road in Ogun and Oyo states, “which runs 56km in two”.
Ogun State has never had this level of attention and deliberate infrastructural intervention from the Federal Government at any point prior to the President BAT administration.
God bless Prince Dapo Abiodun CON.
God bless Ogun State ❤️
God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.
God bless Nigeria. 🇳🇬
Ire o! @DapoAbiodunCON

Nigeria have 3 national archives (Enugu, Ibadan and Kaduna) and most Nigerians have never stepped inside one.
Nigeria is a rich country deep rooted in history but currently abandoned and decaying.
This one has been overtaken by rats and it shows you how we value history.
There is no one that is as influential as Bukola Saraki in Kwara State since the demise of Oloye, his father. Even 15 years after Bukola left office, the Governor is still having a nightmare about him. He has more influence in the Presidency than the No 1 indigene of the State.
Funny how someone built his name by standing with the people & speaking hard truths against greedy politicians, only to get close enough to start wining & dining on the table with govt. Now hustling to please both sides & the once fearless voice suddenly sounds very careful.

Story for the gods
Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior: "Its been the same story for the last three games. You have performances to get results and it is the same story. In the ascendancy for all three games.
"To concede two goals from corners and get another red card, that has been the story of our season. It has been the story of the last few games."

Governance has a specific context of usage. Civil servants are not party loyalists but nonpartisan & remain in office to serve successive govts. However, the real test of governance is appointing ideological opponents who do not share your view but because they are technocrats.

Governance should be separated from politics. It is worse as appointing a technocrat who does not share the same ideology with you at the expense of one who fought your battle to actualise the ideology. It is as good as appointing your critics within your party.

What about the daily Stamp Duty, whether or not you do a transaction on your App? Can you please explain maybe it was also the new instruction by NRS?
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 7.5% VAT ON TRANSFERS: STOP PANICKING!
If you’ve seen the news that a 7.5% VAT on mobile transfers and USSD transactions starts on January 19th, you might be worried that the government is about to "eat" your money.
The headlines are scaring people, but the math shouldn't. A lot of people are misinterpreting this directive. Let’s break it down simply so you can see the actual impact.
1. The Big Misconception
Many people think that if they send ₦100,000, the government will take 7.5% of that amount (which would be ₦7,500).
THIS IS 100% FALSE.
2. The Reality
The 7.5% VAT is NOT charged on the money you are sending (the principal). It is charged ONLY on the SERVICE FEE your bank or fintech (Moniepoint, OPay, Kuda, etc.) charges you.
3. Let’s Look At The Math
If you send ₦100,000 today:
• The Principal: ₦100,000 (Your money)
• The Bank Fee: ₦50.00 (What the bank charges for the service)
• The 7.5% VAT: ₦3.75 (This is the charge, 7.5% of the ₦50 fee)
• EMTL (Stamp Duty): ₦50.00 (The standard flat levy)
• TOTAL COST TO YOU: ₦100,103.75
4. What about USSD?
If you use a code like *737# or *919# and the session fee is ₦20:
• The 7.5% VAT on that fee is ₦1.50.
• Your total cost becomes ₦21.50.
It is a kobo-difference, not a life-changing amount.
5. Why Is This Happening? 🤔
The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) is simply ensuring that all digital services are fiscalized. Just like you pay VAT on a bottle of drink or a data plan, you are now paying VAT on the service of digital banking.
The Bottom Line:
Your savings are safe. Your capital isn't being slashed. This is a tax on the bank's commission, not your hard-earned wealth.
Don’t let misinformation cause unnecessary stress. There is a huge difference between a Tax on your Money and a Tax on a Service Fee.

I agree with President Obasanjo & his position was reasonable. I do not share your sentiment because your boss, Governor Wike (2015–2023) wouldn't have allowed half of what Governor Fubara permitted. Anyone who preaches tolerance must possess the spirit of forgiveness.
Politics is Governance.
Governance is Politics.
To succeed in both, you must be streetwise, and be ready to get along with the good, the bad and the ugly.
A man who served as Minister under Obasanjo once told me that he asked the President then why he gave support to a group to hold Conference that lasted more than six months, despite that those in the group are antagonists of his government.
He said Obasanjo told he gave the support so as to have peace of mind for the period the conference will take place.
According to him, Obasanjo said; "They will be busy and won't have time time to abuse and attack me."

Religious tolerance is seriously lacking in our society. Muslims criticise public display of Egungun in Muslim-dominated areas but non-Muslims are angry about it. Muslims jubilate seeing their brothers praying publicly in Non-muslim areas but non-muslims call it provocation.
" You are shouting they did Egungun festival in Ilorin, they did it in Egbejila outskirts of Ilorin, if dem BORN THEM WELL, let come to Oba's Market, Alore or Pakata, and see if they will leave alive"

This is a great embarrassment to the United Nation. How is this different from Imperialism and Colonialism? I hope other Superpower nations remain silent forever.
Wike is the biggest betrayer in politics today. He played the dirtiest politics in Nigeria history. No time a sitting governor "sold" election results of his state to another party for a ministerial slot and publicly brag about it. Oga Segalink, I still hold you in high esteem.

Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.
When you do this. You do not only do what some ignorant people do, you invite insult toward Prophet Muhammed, Islam and Muslim. Qur’an 6:108 warns "And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge."
As god was thinking about committing suicide so Nigerian Kuffs could drink alcohol and eat porks, Mary was bathing god.
Poor Mary! Only if she knew her son is suicidal. He was about to get hanged so some black niggas in Nigeria can party freely 😂.
