The majority didn't vote Apc. Those ones have shown they are not ready for free and fair election so Nigerians may have to take it by force from them
The Bible said when the righteous are on the throne the people rejoice but when the wicked are to there the people groan.
APC has given Nigeria back-to-back devils as presidents but the current one is on another level when it comes to being nothing but pure undiluted evil.

Bro I agree with u. But they championed Muslim -muslim tickets. I believe in fairness. That alone is Evil. Muslims will never support Christian - Christian tickets. Infact the country will be in fire. See ehn if someone like zulum or sanusi contest with a Christian partner I swear I will vote them. Religion has set us backward .

If Tinubu can fight Fulani bandits disrupting farmers across Nigeria things wouldn't have been this bad but he's pampering them because of politics

It's just a gentleman agreement. Stay out of our business and take the seat .

But you cannot trust the core north when it comes to Nigerian politics. They will always betray you.

He betrayed the south to install a Northerner. The Fulani will never trust him

Mate, how can you be in dire poverty and keep having kids you can't look after. Isn't that being daft.

It's more of a vicious circle that keeps the parents and the children in pain and trouble. It's pointless to have more kids than you can care for, as it only makes things worse and harder.
It would be more wise and responsible to have fewer kids, or none at all, until you are ready and able to give them a proper and respectable life.

True talk bro.
I wonder why people not talking about our crazy population, many fools keep popping out kids they can't cater for and the government keep mute without any plan for the nearest future.
It is a common sense that those kids will eventually becomes menace to the society. Simple!

Did they start having too much kids today? Tell the illegal president to do his work. He is the problem right now.

You mean do his work by destroying the Fulani terrorist so that farmers can massively go back to the farm. To ensure food security.

Sad. Our rulers claim to believe in God they don't give a fk about the people. How can people of less than 0.20% control and destroy the lives a nation. Before the elections I said it loudly the BAT has no plans for Nigeria and he is only moved by his selfish ambitious. Obi , sowore or Osinbajo were the candidates. I pray this time Nigerians will stand up against these evil rulers who have over the years killed this country

Let the poor Nigerian die. They are the worst voters. Nature is simply doing it's natural cleansing of taking away idiots from the equation. The one's with good brains will survive, while the ones who are swayed by a cup rice and a N1,000 during the election will be removed from the equation.

In the next election, idiotic politicians won't have mass poverty-stricken idiots who they can bribe en mass, if hunger kills them off.

All things work together for good.

Elections have consequences.
GODbless you

Thank you. His antecedents were in public for all to see.

The same way he did in 83 is the same in 2015.

I am not even angry against Buhari. The Man that brought him who is now President is no different from him. He is even worst than him in all ramifications

The mistake of 2015 will take a very very long time for us to remake

Welcome to the new Nigeria!
That mistake set us back 20 solid years.

You’re either being deceitful or have a poor understanding of the issues!

Can you, hand on heart, assert that GEJ and his ministers would have mismanaged Nigerias’ economy, diversity/unity and international reputation the way Buhari did!? I’m sure you’ve heard it said that Nigeria has vast human and natural resource POTENTIAL, all it needs is the right fair-minded and visionary leadership to thrive!? OBJ met a socio-economic situation just as bad….if not worse than what Buhari met (including poor crude oil prices), yet managed to improve our situation as a country from how he met it! Every country has peaks and troughs in its economic fortunes (alluding to the Okonjo-Iweala quote you attached) but this is where good leadership and good economic management comes in to help steady the ship being buffeted by economic headwinds…..kinda like a good captain seeing his ship through a storm on the high seas!

When people remind you of your senseless choices in 2015/19/23, you point a finger at them and scream ’blackmail’!

Now, if you know the country is in a bad way and you only manage to scrape by, why have kids you can't look after in the long run in case of emergency?
Unlike the one who has few or no kids compared to the one with loads of kids, who do you think is gonna suffer the most from the rubbish economy?`
We understand you but doing Jeg period those children have always been there. I think that's what is good for them anyway, since they decided to reward Jeg evil for his good despite what he did for them. Let them carry their cross

Africans and most especially Nigerian people should understand that whoever will enter as President will have Western backing.

From history, the British favoured the North so, Tafawa Balewa/Zik won.

More recently, instead of Obasanjo to debate Falae, he went to London, they endorsed him, he won.
Buhari too refused to debate others and went to London. He won

Ambassadors and High commissioners have been visiting Tinubu at home even before he became President. He too went to make a speech at Chattam house in London, he won.

The west will always protect whatever interests they have in Nigeria especially British.

Abióla who obviously won with the most transparent elections ever never got there, he was seen alive last by US people after an unscheduled and unexpected visit to him. That one probably did not agree to protect their interest. He's history today.

Suffering or protests cannot install a good president in Nigeria. God deliver us ni oh undecided

That Emefiele and Buhari combo was the worst ever, together with a rubber stamp thief Economic minister finished everything. EFCC and ICPC were just going after Yahoo boys.

They did absolutely nothing but steal to give money to those he called "poor" Fulani wanderers a.k.a bandits. They borrowed to be dashing monthly payments to "poor people" undecided

Buhari already did not make any provision for subsidy immediately he left office. CBN too was just Emefiele's tool to amass wealth for himself, family and friends. Feeding very fat and even crashing our economy to frustrate Tinubu by cash scarcity and all the agonies we passed through in the hands of that evil man. The thousands of souls that died will judge him and his generations forever.

Bureau de change now had forex whereas banks didn't have. POS operators fed and are still feeding fat on us... The network of banks saw hell due to too much cashless transactions. To buy anything became a horror.

They looted everything. Tinubu too was too much in a haste to effect those changes, i'm certain that Tinubu will still expose all, he's bidding his time I'm certain for things to stabilize a little because those northern people still idolize that walking corpse.

It shall be well

In 2015. We told them in simple and basic English.

You do not remove a nagging wife which was GEJ and replace her with a road side prostitute. It was the analogy I gave them.

I told my friends voting for these people then that you do not on no occasion vote for a Buhari.

A Buhari is the road side prostitute who will sleep with your neighbors and friends.

Either you replace GEJ with someone better or you leave him there. The ones coming will make things worst for us. His antecedents are glaring.

But with stupid emotions,they didn't listen so some of us stayed away from the polls in 2015. I wasn't ready to vote for GEJ again,but it would be over my dead body I would vote for Buhari because I know who exactly he was.

Coming down to 2023, The one taking over from him was even worst than him. All he said was Emilokan. He never promised us anything whatsoever.

It was just about him and his EGO. While a candidate was telling you and telling us we have to move from consumption to production. Mr Emilokan proudly said " shey na statistics we go chop"

How a presidential candidate can say that and so callee educated people still voted and campaigned for him is one of the wonders of the 21st century

24hours before his inaguration. I said it in black and white on my status that he will be worst than Buhari. Apart from the fact that he said he would continue from where Buhari stopped, Himself and Buhari are nothing but birds of the same feather

The Economy that was the fastest growing in Africa when they got power,has turned to the poverty capital of the world and our people are now poorer than they have ever been since 1960

See,This is just the beginning. We haven't started and we haven't seen anything yet at all

Brace up fellow Nigerians!

So you think this same APC people will remain as opposition for long without turning the country upside down?
