The West are full of shit...on one hand their IMF will tell Nigerian government to suffer the people more, with higher costs of utilities and energy, on the other hand their press will mock Nigeria. The West are definitely not our friend, if we are not friends, then are we their servants?

Why are our politicians always running to them for validation and aids, it's a shame.

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!


Then you made a big mistake too.
Since you're aware that GEJ is better than buhari, why didn't you vote for GEJ?
At least to stop buhari from getting there.

You may not like GEJ but among all the leaders produced in Nigeria he is still the best.
Lootings happened under his watch, yes, but that's how the country is programmed.
He wanted to quietly reprogram the country but the corrupt politicians stopped him in 2015.

If we had kept GEJ (And no, this does not mean we should have voted Buhari, there were 7 other candidates, including KOWA Party's candidate...great candidate too she was)...the same economic issues we were experiencing would have happened.

IN 2014, oil prices crashed. BY the end of the year GEJ was borrowing to pay salaries, AND finding it difficult to maintain subsides...infact in many places fuel was selling way above the offical price.

Unless GEJ had a plan to diversify the economy, we would have still ended up where we were, and we would have still had economic issues.

Seriously, this does not mean APC was the better alternative. The danger in APC was that they were promising increased spending on subsidy...the same subsidy that by the end of 2014 was already difficult to pay.

Fact is, the only way out of economic disaster in 2015, was if the candidate did as Macri is doing in Argentina, and cut subsides and excessive government spending. Neither GEJ Nor Buhari was going to do that, and as we can see, neither has tinubu either.

The problem with Nigeria is that we spend money we don't have helping the poor, and end up not helping them anyway.

The only way things could have been better after the oil price crash is if

1.We increased our tax to gdp ratio

2.We diversifed the economy

3.We totally removed subsides before Feb 2012. Yes, 2012 was the last time we had to remove subsides and absorb the resultant problems without any issues.



You people keep saying trash.
GEJ was borrowing money to pay salaries.

How many times did GEJ borrow money to pay salaries?
And how much in total did his govt borrow?

Make una de use una brain small. Abi na hatred de do una like this? SMH

Tell these people to stop having too many kids. You keep popping out kids you can't look after then you moan about it.

Why wouldn't there be a rise in poverty and crime when the kids lose hope and resort to other ways to survive.

Always misyarn. As if couples with one or two kids are not feeling the same heat

Let the poor Nigerians 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 to sell their votes, if hunger kills them off.

All things work together for good. There is no need to sugarcoat anything anymore.

Elections have consequences.
Obi followers are constantly in "sifia" pain. And these are the people who just voted for the first time, abusing people for not voting for their preferred candidate. Tinubu is doing shitty job but who even told you that Obi would have done better because he equally vowed to remove fuel subsidy?

There is an imminent crisis coming and it worries me. Tinubu has to take charge before muslim fasting commences. I see the north starting a major uprising then. what could fuel this crisis is the increment in Electricity, Gas and PETROL.
Things are quite expensive and there is serious hardship in the land. Also if i where the president i will limit external travels. A coup could occur with the loud support of the north and silent support of the East. Wahala dey come ooo. DSS take note

A coup wouldn't be a bad idea or option at this point. Except that we will be under international sanctions again and it will cause another problem for the masses

Agbadorians are experts at fact denial and self-deceit. Just because you failed woefully does not mean everyone would fail by fiat. You and your agbado master are not the best of the bunch in Nigeria. Embrace that fact!

Did you ever agree that Tinubu was going to do a shitty job and kill you lots with hunger? I thought you told us he was the best in economics and business administration, even though he never believed in statistics and proclaimed to everyone "na statistics we go chop?", Well, I guess na sand una go chop.

Even Buhari a cow-rearing buffoon has proven to best your agbado mongrel in the principle of basic economics.

You lots are too pedestrian and poor in thoughts, always good at processing everything from your ethnic prism. I pray nature continues to take its cleansing course of wiping you out of the equation. Then Nigeria will begin to get better going forward. More hunger to the hungry and easily swayed buffoon agbadorians.

Problem is not too many kids, it is not preparing the educational system to train the kids to build the economy

Added population is an advantage. There are many countries who would love to have our fertility rates.

The reason why we think our population is a burden is because most Nigerians do not pay taxes, and most government income does not come from taxes. If the income came from tax, population being large would be a blessing..future tax payers being born, enough tax for the aged pensions and government spending...and more workers to drive the economy.

But because most government spending is in the form of sharing oil money, extra births is an extra burden in essence.

But if attempts are made to increase tax to gdp ratio, that is where we would hear...the poor, we are poor.

Na who get work go happy to pay tax oo. No enabling environment for people doing business, no employment. People dey hustle for bread you dey talk of to increase tax as a solution. U na tax collector I swear lolz😃
