…Slams Obaseki On Relocation Of Central Hospital

A Benin-based activist and founder, One Love Foundation, Comrade PatricK Eholor, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to honourable resign and apologise to Nigerians if he knows old age is telling on him in carrying out his statutory duty.

President Buhari had in an Interview with the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA, on Thursday said working 8 hours every day has not been easy due to his old age, just as he admitted that age is really telling on him.

Reacting to the President’s comment in Benin on Friday while granting interview to journalists, the right activist said for Buhari to openly admit that age is telling on him, he expected him to resign without much ado.

He said Nigerians cannot afford to suffer for the next 17 months as claimed by Mr President, hence he should tender his resignation letter.

He said, “If a man come out clearly to tell you age is telling on him in carrying out his statutory duty, why can’t the man resign honourable. For Buhari to say we are going to suffer for the next 17 months, it is dangerous . He should therefore resign and apologise to Nigerians.”

He continues, “When he came to power, a dollar was bellow N200, but today a dollar is above N500. Everything has increased in price since Buhari assumed power, so he should graciously resign and apologise to us.”

On Mr President’s claim that he has put in his best over the past 6 years, Comrade Eholor said, “If he claims he has given his best in the past few years, then his best is not good enough for us.”

Speaking on the state of things in Edo particularly the much talked about relocation of the over 100 years Central Hospital by the state government, the activist said Obaseki was heading towards increasing COVID-19 virus in the state if he joins patients free from the virus to those infected and isolated at the Stella Obasanjo Hospital, Benin.

While noting that the World Health Organistion would not be happy with the Edo State Government on this single this act, Comrade Eholor added that all what being heard about the Central Hospital are speculations as the Obaseki-led Edo Government has refused to tell Edolites the real state of things as regards the hospital.

He said, “It is dangerous if the government is not communicating with us. I believe we have Commissioner for Information in Edo State. There are a lot of speculations as of what the Government wants to build in the hospital, and all these speculations ought not to be when we have government. Government suppose to tell the citizens what is being done for them.

“If it is true that Obaseki is relocating the patients in Central Hospital to Stella Obasanjo, he is in trouble. This is because the same people were relocated to Central Hospital when they made Stella Obasanjo Hospital an isolation centre. So, the World Health Organistion would not be happy, because it means Mr. Governor wants to increase the virus in the state instead of decreasing it.

“We are in a state of limbo. All these are happening and no one is asking the governor questions.”

On the recent invasion of an Edo community by suspected Fulani herders, the right activist said, “Godwin Obaseki is a very self centered man with his refusal to put in place an anti open grazing law. For not putting in place an anti grazing law, you will know that Godwin is an anti people Governor. People can’t go to farm any more in our state because their crops are being destroyed by Fulani herders; the women are being raped, our men are being killed by the same men.”

Editor

As a Nigerian considering relocation plans, interest in countries with clear and less complicated citizenship pathways is a smart way to not just guarantee greener pastures, but also provide you with the opportunity to feel more at home in a foreign land. While some of the programmes are ancestry-based, others allow Nigerians with such a link to try other means.

Contents
1. Dominica
2. Ireland
3. Turkey
4. Portugal
5. Vanuatu
6. Italy
Though rules vary widely across borders, some nations stand out for offering citizenship through investment or family ties with fewer hurdles and faster processing timelines.

Below are the top six countries with the easiest citizenship:

1. Dominica
Dominica operates a citizenship-by-investment programme that allows applicants to qualify through a contribution to the government’s Economic Diversification Fund or by investing in approved real estate. Processing typically takes a few months. Citizens enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 140 countries, including the Schengen Zone. There is no residency requirement, and dual citizenship is permitted.

2. Ireland
Ireland provides a clear citizenship pathway for individuals with Irish ancestry. Those with an Irish-born parent qualify automatically, while people with an Irish-born grandparent can apply through the Foreign Births Register. An Irish passport grants full European Union rights, including freedom of movement across EU countries. Dual citizenship is allowed, and there is no language requirement for applicants applying by descent.

3. Turkey
Turkey offers a fast-track citizenship option through investment. Foreign nationals who purchase qualifying real estate valued at a minimum of $400,000 can obtain citizenship within a few months. The programme does not require residency or renunciation of an existing nationality. Turkish passport holders have visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to several countries, with ongoing efforts to expand travel agreements.

4. Portugal
Portugal’s Golden Visa programme provides a residency-to-citizenship route for foreign investors. After five years of legal residence and meeting programme conditions, applicants may apply for citizenship. Approved investment options include venture capital funds and other qualifying assets. Successful applicants gain an EU passport, access to the Schengen Area, and dual citizenship, subject to passing a basic Portuguese language test.

5. Vanuatu
Vanuatu runs one of the world’s fastest citizenship programmes. Through its Development Support Programme, eligible applicants can receive citizenship in as little as two months after making the required financial contribution. The country offers visa-free access to over 100 destinations and has no tax on global income or capital gains. Residency requirements are minimal.

6. Italy
Italy grants citizenship by descent to individuals with an Italian parent or grandparent, following a 2025 legal update that tightened eligibility rules. Applicants must provide official documents proving a direct family link to an Italian ancestor. Italian citizenship comes with full EU rights, wide visa-free travel, and the ability to pass citizenship to future generations. Dual nationality is allowed, and no language test is required for descent-based applications.

As economic pressures continue to mount, many Nigerians are increasingly exploring relocation as a path toward stability, better opportunities, and an improved quality of life. However, traditional destinations such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States are becoming more difficult to access due to rising living costs and stricter visa policies.

Contents
1. Slovakia
2. Latvia
3. Portugal
4. Hungary
5. Georgia

But beyond these popular options, several lesser-known European countries are emerging as affordable and welcoming alternatives. Offering low tuition fees, flexible visa policies, and a reasonable cost of living, these nations are becoming attractive relocation choices for Nigerians seeking balance and opportunity.

In this article, Tribune Online highlights five budget-friendly countries Nigerians can consider for relocation:

1. Slovakia
Located in Central Europe, Slovakia combines stability, safety, and simplicity; three factors often missing in high-pressure relocation destinations.

Though it may not feature prominently on social media relocation lists, Slovakia’s affordability and accessibility make it a hidden gem. Students enjoy low tuition fees, while residents benefit from proximity to major European cities like Vienna and Prague. For Nigerians seeking structure and affordability, Slovakia provides a peaceful yet practical alternative.

2. Latvia
The Baltic nation of Latvia is fast becoming a preferred destination for international students and skilled professionals. Known for its low living costs and straightforward residence procedures, Latvia offers a convenient entry point into the European Union.

Riga, its capital city, blends historic charm with modern infrastructure, providing an ideal environment for studying, working, or gradually transitioning to other parts of Europe.

3. Portugal
Situated on Europe’s western coast, Portugal is one of the continent’s most liveable and affordable countries. Known for its mild weather, safety, and reasonable living costs, Portugal offers a soft landing for Nigerians looking to relocate without excessive financial strain. The country’s friendly visa policies and welcoming atmosphere make it ideal for students, remote workers, and small business owners. Beyond its scenic beauty, Portugal provides what many Nigerians desire: peace of mind and an easier start abroad.

4. Hungary
Hungary has quietly become a top choice for international students, offering quality education at affordable tuition rates. Living costs are significantly lower than in Western Europe, and cities like Budapest, Szeged, and Debrecen provide vibrant yet budget-friendly environments.

For Nigerians looking to relocate through education, Hungary offers a realistic and sustainable path toward long-term settlement in Europe.

5. Georgia
For Nigerians seeking an easy transition abroad, Georgia presents one of the smoothest relocation routes. The country allows Nigerians to stay visa-free for up to one year, eliminating embassy interviews and lengthy paperwork.

Located between Europe and Asia, Georgia offers a blend of natural beauty and affordability. Rent, transport, and food costs remain moderate, making it an excellent base for digital nomads and young professionals.

As migration trends evolve, success now depends on flexibility and strategic planning. While the dream of relocating abroad remains strong, the path doesn’t always have to lead through the UK or Canada. For Nigerians ready to look beyond the familiar, Europe’s quieter corners still offer accessible and rewarding opportunities.

Insecurity: US Congressman Riley Moore Reveals Trump’s Mission In Nigeria

US Congressman Riley Moore has dismissed insinuations that President Donald Trump is attempting to bring war to Nigeria.

Moore made the remark in a post on his verified X handle on Monday.

His comments followed a US military airstrike on a terrorist enclave in north-west Nigeria on Christmas Day, reportedly carried out on the directive of President Trump.

“President Trump is not trying to bring war to Nigeria, he’s bringing peace and security to Nigeria and to the thousands of Christians who face horrific violence and death.

“The strikes against ISIS on Christmas, in coordination with the Nigerian government, have given hope to the Christians in Nigeria,” he said.

Recall that the lawmaker had previously stated that President Trump is focused on ending the killing of Christians in Nigeria.

It will be recalled that Moore led a US delegation on a fact-finding mission into alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria some weeks ago.

During his brief stay in the country, Moore travelled to Benue State, where he interfaced with religious and traditional leaders, as well as internally displaced persons.
