And who the hell is he? Another demagogue you have manufactured for your region since Kanu has not gained his freedom, of course. Clowns everywhere.
The leadership of a Country is a reflection of the people of that Country. Tinubu and Shettima are exactly what Nigerians deserve.

IN a way, we are seeing the effects of paying subsides after subsides for decades, without thinking about where the money comes from.

Now, we are all paid out, the economy is not diversifed, corruption is at an all time high, and debt is eating 90% of our revenue.

We are seeing the effects of bad decisions, and of repeated sacrifices of the economy on the altar of power. NOw, either we make sane decisions or we keep on going on

100% correct. All we are seeing today is the result of Nigerian leaders, from time immemorial, taking the expedient and convenient options always. Never the difficult decisions that tend to be the most developmental and predisposes nations towards their greatest potentials.

Nothing leaders have not subsidized so that Nigerians just shut up, go away and shout another day. Now we are all washed up with our woes beginning many decades ago when we found oil and abandoned everything else.

Everybody lazily focused on oil and how to be individually filthy rich from it instead of genuinely devoting ourselves to using oil to make Nigeria developed and the average Nigerian a well-educated, well-trained and exemplary solutions providers, in terms of human development, in comparison to others worldwide.

Of course political offices controls our oil wealth and the disbursement or looting of said wealth so politics became the choice occupation in Nigeria.

Major cash went into the emoluments of politicians, because they greedily wrote their own cheques literally, to the detriment of other more societally important occupations. It is obvious we have done so much wrong as a nation when major infrastructure projects are always handled for us in Nigeria by foreign specialist skilled labour.

Leaders , so they can loot in peace, always chose the convenient option of placating Nigerians with subsidies, crumbs essentially, that only deepen their poverty, hopelessness, loss of personal development skills and dependence on the State.

We built a nation where the average citizen is so fixated with the price of petrol without knowing their peers in developed nation could not give a toss whether petrol cost 20 dollars a litre because petrol has no bearing in their lives due to efficient and diverse transport system and of course adequately constant electricity.

We have always put the Cart ahead of the Horse in Nigeria and generally done things in the most regressive way sure to only lead to where we have arrived today with long overdue reforms imperative to rescue Nigeria yet, ironically, the average Nigerian, so bastardized by misrule, does not possess the physical or mental fortitude to see and key into reforms that will wean them of our own crack Cocaine of leaders subsiding everything just so they can keep minimum wage at a ridiculous 30k a month which cannot fill the tank of my V6 SUV.

The very educated thinkers amongst us know Tinubu is doing the right thing but at a very difficult time. I laugh, in a sad way, when Nigerians are crying of hunger today because I see a people who, in the majority, have deliberately been given fish rather than taught to fish so they can always have power over their own independent feeding.

Most Nigerians are now like helpess babies seeking their mothers breast to suck for milk. Unfortunately for Tinubu, he arrives when all the Chickens, not just one or a few, have come home to roost.

The multiple and convergent effects of ethno-religious division, at an all time high, plus crippling insecurity,
extreme poverty, poorly skilled citizens, generally inadequate and near worthless education churning out citizens incapable of solutions provision, broke and undiversified economy, restive and disillusioned youth population, nil rainy day saving, poor power supply, horrendous transport infrastructure and network, comatose refinery etc,etc,etc means Nigeria will now be very very difficult to reform.

All the many things wrong with our nation means there will never be the understanding and patience from Nigerians to abide with and support reforms which, ironically, is for their own much brighter, more independent, more prosperous, more opportuned and more self-determining future.

Bubu and bat are two sides of the same coin and are poor administrators.

One was clueless while the other is useless. Both aspired to be president to sooth thier egos.

Still did Atiku get more votes from the North than Tinubu?

You are shameless liar, those who voted Peter Obi are largely not Yorubas and we have seen how they were attacked and stereotyped and such barbaric incident against other tribes during election happened for the first time in the hisy of this Nation in Lagos in 2023 election.
Many international media houses reported the cases of ballot box snatching, attacks on IG is for the fear of them voting for their choice and we have seen how some tribal groups are even warned and threatened to leave Lagos for their zone. You just consume what media tell you. Isn't the attached picture above not carrying the actual results for you to see the election performance.
Somebody who was rejected in the state of his birth and the state he adopted and governed have the gut to accuse others of not voting for him, what an absurd opinion!
You just live your life in your comfort zone. We go round the Nation and have first hand experience of each and every state of Nigeria.
People are neither slave nor mannequin that you expect all of them to vote for your candidate just because he came from the same party with their son.
Tinubu refused to choose a northern Christian for that same reason.
In your obtuse mind, only non-Yorubas voted Obi
You need to find somewhere to hit your head

"I know of no CBN governor in my lifetime (until Cardoso) who couldn’t articulate economic policies effortlessly. Even Godwin Emefiele had no difficulty defending his policies. You may question his competence or disagree with his policies, but he could at least clearly formulate thoughts about what he was doing. Cardoso gives me the jitters. Nigeria is in way worse trouble than it realizes with an airhead like that as CBN governor."

This part off me...

Anyway Tinubu also has a cult like following. But not as loyal as Buhari's. Many are beginning to shift loyalty!

You just contradicted yourself with the last paragraph. Cult-like following means their loyalty will never shift. If tinubu's is shifting, it isn't cult-like.
The truth is most of the people supporting Tinubu are doing so based on tribal or political reasons. And that's why their loyalty is shifting

It wasn't Tinubu who chose Kashim Shettima. Tinubu asked Northern Governors who made him the party candidate to choose and they ended up choosing Kashim.
Show me a single Northern Christian with spread electoral value beyond his state who can be seen as a well acceptable by majority.

Are evidence not available how some group of people in 2023 election campaigned and voted completely on the basis of religion and publicly declared it as religious war?
In the North you can just assume or perceive but have no evidence of the frivolous allegations and aspersions.

Beremx or whatever you call yourself. Your husband and all your children will die on the same day, in a brutal bloody way. You will be the only one left alive hapless and useless. Anyone and anything that gives you joy will perish brutally. Anything you touch will die.

I agree I am a vile Igbo man while you are a civilized intelligent saint. But all you love will die because you are an intelligent saint, that easily calls for other people's family members death. Werey.

You're free to believe your own fables. Shettima only won his state in the NE
All other states were lost to Atiku. To claim that there's no Northern Christian who can pull votes in the North is to prove the religious bigotry and fundamentalism that exists in the North.
A lot of sheiks in the North viewed the Muslim Muslim ticket as a jihad and never shied from arguing it

Whereas in 2012, when GEJ did same, there were protests against the same increase in the North.

It's the way the game is played. Nigerians don't want change, they want their side to win, meaning some 'benefit' would come.

(Same attitude exists in other parts of Africa...when Obama became president of the USA..someone in his home village in Kenya was thankful because that means new road would come. QUestion is, what were all the previous governments of kenya doing?)

Running a resource dependent economy , like NIgeria, fosters the attitude of 'when my son is in charge of the sharing of money, I will get some of the cake easier...

The sooner Nigeria becomes a nation where taxes are the main source of income, not oil, the better.

Don't mind them. They were just bittered , envious and Power drunk people with no vision for the country. See where we are now? Tinubu till 2098.

Nonsense, do you know how Shettima won Borno state?
They almost lost the election before they rigged it. The video went viral how the election was shamelessly rigged. You need to understand this game before embarking on this assumptions, you are ordinary follower not active participants.

Is it not absurd for you not to know that since 2015 election most Northern clerics stopped snipping their mouth into poliy becauy of the perceived disappointment of Buhari Govt?
You need to know that there are extremely few clerics who on purpose supported that tickets and go and verify their names in NAHCON appointment recently made by Tinubu.
We are active participants in APC affairs, official members so you can't come here and tell us stories fed to you on pulpits.

So if Shettima lost his state, what difference does that make to my point? Northern muslims voted along ethno-religious lines as they have been doing since. End of story

It's because Tinubu is a certified first class senile dunce.
Prof Yusuf Dankofa wrote this on 5th Feb 2024:

"But they said they are the whiz kids from lagos

That the magic of lagos was going to be reignited at the federal level.

Eight months after,it is ebin kpawa.

What really happened?

Where are the heroes of Lagos?

What is on the ground shows that the policy makers from eko do not understand governance?

The policy flip flop has created a condition of acute poverty.

Just like one commentator said,only those in the corridors of power are smiling.

The rest are facing armageddon,a state of calamity and brutality.

The politics of the land is toxic as only lagosians are in power, while the other "O" states are lamenting.

Cronyism and inner caucus have betrayed the movement.

Emilokan movement is so ordinary and bereft of ideas that grand old Buhari that spent eight years junketing is even perceived to be better.

So,Emilokan is about the fulfilment of personal ambition.

Even the Imams that were shouting Muslim/Muslim tickets are busy gnashing their teeth.

They have now become wiser.

That the Muslim/Muslim agenda is a hoax.

Now they can't go for pilgrimage because they don't have N5M.

Where will they see the dollar?

Who dash monkey banana?

No politician is even visiting their mosque anymore.

Even Mr. Vice President has become a motivational speaker.

He is busy admonishing Nigerians to be of good behaviour since leaders who are to turn things around have lost ideas.

The ideas that were robustly generated during electioneering campaigns have vaporised into thin air.

Now,the singsong by the talakawas is hunger.

Our currency is as worthless as a river that ships cannot navigate.

You need a bagco cement sack of naira to seek $300.

The economic gurus of lagos have been turned into ordinary finance speculators.

All those spotless suits and Oxford shoes are just abracadabra.

What happened to years of study at Harvard and Yale School of Economics?

Social media have been laughing at them?

Even Zimbabweans and South Africans are having a good laugh.

South Sudan,a country as poor as anything, is poking Nigeria.

Pls where is the Save Nigeria Group?

Where are Professor Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare that gave Jonathan nightmares?

Where are all the Lagos musicians?

This is when the talakawa need them most.

Have they forgotten their Uncle Dr Beko Ransome Kuti?

Where are the offspring of Late Dr Bala Usman in this respect?

And where are the Professor Pantamis of this world?

That cried and prayed that the Jonathan administration should be changed?

And what has changed today?

And why are there no prayers to the Almighty that the poor should be rescued?

The Lagos politicians have failed the people.

They boasted that it is about brains and not brawl.

This is the regime of the most educated people in Africa.
