There is a speculation on Facebook and Twitter which has received reactions from many Nigerians online as some citizens prayed that God will touch the mind of President Tinubu to open the border. Many citizens, both learned and illiterates believed that the decision by former President Muhammadu Buhari to close the Nigerian borders was a major setback for the administration as it was closely related to the hike in prices of food items in the country. Nigeria, with a hopping population of 200 million highly depends on farm produces and, mostly staple foods from neighboring countries. However, insurgencies, leakages in Internally Generated Revenue, and the drive to promote locally made products were among the reasons that convinced former President Muhammadu Buhari to close the border. Although the speculation is on the rising trend, checks and contact made by the Round Table show that the presidency has not yet lifted the ban on the Nigerian borders. Once the ban on Nigerian borders is ...

  By Yamo News, 26/04/2023 Campaigns should be issue based, no need to throw tantrums at ourselves. There is none without flaw, we have all had our shortcomings in the past. But the past is yesterday, today is almost gone, tomorrow a brighter future awaits. We find ourselves in a society where people only remember you for your mistakes no matter the number of good you must have done. For a tree bearing fruit to blossom, it seed must rotten and die. For in death, a new life is reborn. Opu-Abadi is ready. - Apostle Bodmas Prince Kemepadei.

 A Staunch Southern-Ijaw Ward 14 Youth Leader of the APC has lambasted Yekini Nabena A renowned activist and youth leader in Southern-Ijaw Ward 14 of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kalasino Titus , has chastised the former spokesman of the APC for saying he is happy that Chief David Lyon was not sworn-in  as Governor of Bayelsa Sate in 2020. He condemned the former spokesman statement that Lyon did not get the party’s gubernatorial ticket based on merit. Lyon is a committed and supportive party man whose popularity with the members of APC in the state fetched him the party’s ticket in the last gubernatorial election. According to Kalasino Titus, Yekini Nabena’s taking great pleasure of David Lyon’s sacking as governor-elect by the supreme court verdict only depicts him as antiparty man and a political buccaneer who benefits in inciting violence and division in the party. He also stated that Mr Nabena, is a frivolous politician who has no grip in his ward and the state. I...

Following complains by residents of Bayelsa State on social media over the failure of filling stations to comply with Federal Government’s directive to sell Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at ₦125 per litre, the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), has called for calm, saying it would take a while for dealers to adjust to the new pump price.

Former appointees storm Dickson's home to lobby for appointment. Former governor of Bayelsa State resident has become a place where all politicians go to inorder to secure an appoint in Diri's led government. It can also be recalled that George Turner's name was replaced by Benson Agadaga due to Long time rancour between the duo ( Dickson and Turner).

The former president worked against Douye Diri in the PDP primary election which Dickson stood for him despite the mass defection of party stalwarts agains Timi Alaibe whom is the choice candidate of the former president and his loyalists. Dickson is now the golden fish of the PDP led government. So many failed-former political office holders that even worked against the party during gubernatorial elections are als...

Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri has started his new administration on a reconciliatory note by extending a hand of fellowship to contending political forces in the state. But will the move yield the desired result?  Mr.Douye Diri, the 5th governor of Bayelsa State, has upon assumption of office, been trying to define his administration as a one bent on unifying the contending political forces in the state along the path of peace and development.
