How can the authorities of @FAAN_Official, without care or let, increase overnight parking fee at #Ibadan #Airport from Naira 1k to 5k? @fkeyamo? Imagine when it transforms from local to international: N20,000? Governor, @seyimakinde FYI

Everyone is pretending that this over 100% increase in Starlink monthly service price is fine. @elonmusk is taking advantage of the absence of any serious government control in Nigeria to increase monthly subscription from 38k to 75k. Shame
Benin-Asaba road is a major artery to and from Eastern 9ja.Shutting it down cos of Edo elections is causing traffic gridlock and untoward hardship on road users, most of them Igbos going to or from home. @NGRPresident @NGRSenate @channelstv @OUKtweets @GovernorObaseki @CCSoludo.
@HQNigerianArmy if the Army High Command authorized the blockade on federal highways passing through Edo State they have just caused the worst pain on Travellers going to and from the Southeast, Southsouth and Southwest- for nothing. Very shameful….

Travellers en route to different destinations in the East,or traveling from the East to other parts of the country, especially the West, have been stuck since morning.They are still there, including little children and pregnant mums.Shame on us all🥹

It is only a wicked, callous, highly insensitive state that will inflict this kind of needless pain on its own citizens, without care what happens to them along our mostly treacherous highways. The shame is on the @NGRPresident
