The fact of the matter is PDP and APC and Peter Obi and sowoere and even Tinubu have all been lying with you

All of them refuse to support cost reflective tarrifs so that our power sector can grow

That is why there was no light under your hero GEJ and no light under their hero Tinubu.

Has nothing to do with who was in power.

PDP and APC practise the same polices. You just don't want to see it because you are not interested in good governance

The truth is... It will take a revolution of minds and cohesion of citizens to have cost reflective pricing, not just in the Power sector, but every sector in Nigeria.

Which current politician among the crop in all the parties has the balls to do this?!! Not a single one.

This might happen if we had an incorruptible dictatorship or military leadership that has a great grasp of progressive economic management.

If (or when) Tinubu wins a second term, then he might sack up, and get it done regardless of the national outcry.


The first step will be to build trust by showing transparency... The subsidy removal in the Petroleum sector is still shrouded in half-truths, over 3 years after.

The comment below is a strong case in point

I am on Band A, so i am currently paying higher tariff. I understand your position but my concern is the figure you quoted, even if it is an example, the fact still remain that I find it difficult to believe figures stated by these corrupt people.

They don't have heart or conscience. All they are after is to continue looting and making the poor masses poorer.

How many household can afford Band A.?

Right now the portal to obtain Prepaid Meter is closed, people are begging the authorities involved to open it so as to prevent the unreasonable bills.

Rapmoney:
If you like, allow people to deceive you and discourage you not to Japa if you have the opportunity. You will regret it. Allow sycophants like Daniel Bwala whose family lives abroad to deceive you.

That's the sad thing...!

Those discouraging others from Japa have done so, and established themselves and their families abroad.

The hypocrisy of Nigerians is just irritating.

Congrats to him...!

It pays to wisely invest.

Howfar Angelfrost, I don dey dismantle ATM o.

Mtchewwww... Their 3rd team.

Cardinal Onaiyekan was indeed insensitive with the comment he made on Arise TV.. clearly he has political leanings, trying to smear PBAT's name.
Nigeria is bleeding, we agree.. is the President doing something about it?. YES he is.

The right thing for Onaiyekan to do is to call on State Governors to step up their game and secure their respective domains.. He can't apportion blame only to the President in this issue of insecurity. The State Governments and Local Governments are legally recognized as part of the Executive Arm of Governance in Nigeria, they should get to work, instead of sitting idle and embezzling public funds.
Why is INEC wasting tax payers money, conducting elections into those elective offices when they know they won't be useful?

How many times did Tinubu and Buhari call out state governors while they were in the opposition?!!

Spain should get ships stationed all around those places...!

As they are arriving, you put them all on board and send them back.

The problem today is not AI...!

The undoing of today's decadent age is the brainless use of something meant to reduce stress, thereby causing more stress.

This oga suffered an avoidable public embarrassment because an underling of his lacked the common sense intelligence to proofread and edit what he or she used AI to do.


This sort of mental laziness and nonchalance is just unbecoming among most of us today.

Op... Was that lengthy and windy narrative necessary?!

Everyone on social media fancies himself a writer.

Smh!!!

What sort of rubbish is that Rene T fellow commenting?!!

This is worse than simping... Is he "slow"?!!

Skit aside, any lady that agrees to go to a man's house should not pretend not to know what his intentions are... Saying you are married after arriving there sounds m0ronic.

Did you think he was taking you to his house for house-warming or Prayer meeting?!!

Smh.

yyoomy63:
Music industry contracts needs to be thoroughly viewed before signing by any artist especially upcoming ones

The right thing is to have a good lawyer thoroughly examine every inch of that paper and advise accordingly before signing.

The problem is that most Nigerians either can't afford one when starting out, or simply don't think far ahead.

The record label owners flash gifts and great incentives to lure them in and hoodwink them from actually seeing the futuristic trap being set for them.

Smh... Typical of a lot of Nigerians to make light of heritage.

Only South-Westerners and Northerners make effort to protect their culture and keep their languages passed on across generations.

The others think it's woke or educational sophistication to do away with their mother tongues... PITY!

Nice... Anything to ensure a smooth, free and fair election at all levels is absolutely welcome.

If INEC can't be independent of the Executive, then this is just another exercise in futility.

Next key stop is SECURITY especially during the electoral process across states.

America's international reputation has never been this battered in history...!

This is what you get when you elect people that lack Leadership and Diplomatic intelligence.

Lol... What do I think?!!

Firstly, I think (nope, I'm quite certain) an average Nairalander won't be reading all you posted up there.

Now, on the subject matter... Morality has been in steady decline all over the world for decades. Africa was shielded a bit, till the social media revolution.

TopBanter:
I don't get this argument you guys make and I can only put it down to poor man's mentality.

If you have the wealth, what is wrong with sponsoring your child to learn at the finest educational institution in the world?

It is a personal choice political leaders can make and only people with unreasonable and hard-line mentality will deny them of that free choice.

Many reasonable people will understand political leaders are allowed to make free choices pertaining to their private lives and children so long as they do the best for those they lead as Tinubu is doing with NELFUND.

My parents sent me to the UK in my early teens, along with my other siblings, and I went to Uni there. Are they politicians ? Of course not. Just parents who want the best for their kids and funded it.

Politicians are same. Yes they are leaders but parents also with private ambition for their children you lot should not invade upon in Sowore communist and agbero-style aluta continua bullying.

Everybody, including politicians, deserve private family life and choices. Any reasonable person would understand that.


They don't have to educate their kids in Nigeria or even use Nigerian healthcare because those considerations are private choices.

Their core brief is to improve Nigeria. If they are doing that, as Tinubu is doing, remove your eyes from the private choices they are entitled to.

Sowore has no point because, as the immature troublemaker and communist-leaning menace he is, he is demanding undemocratic restriction of life choices for politicians whereas some choices must be independent for everyone be they politicians, businessmen or civil servants.

Poor man's mentality?!!

Demanding that public servants feeding fat off state and national resources lead by example?!!

...And your moniker claims "Top Banter".


Smh... Give it a rest please. Your intellect is wanting.

iwaeda:
Return those schools to missionaries has turned them to private schools, not affordable to many parents. Example methodist boys and girls.

Then, the states should build and maintain their own schools...!

Every state should have both missionary and state schools.

Parents should choose the ones they can afford.

Seriously though... State governors have been flying under the quality assessment radar for far too long.

Many of them no longer bother with governance, even the most basic aspects of leadership.

Nigerians, shift focus to your state governors!!!

Their ineptitude stinks to the high heavens.

TopBanter:
Scholarship how? The model is not sustainable. You must think Nigeria has a bottomless pit of money.

Of the 195 nations of the world far richer and more stable than Nigeria, only 10 to 15 offer free or subsidized University education out of 195 and they are mainly very wealthy nations. Fact check me on that.

You guys should try and evolve your minds and stop talking out of blanket hatred of certain leaders. NELFUND is a fantastic scheme.

Students will begin paying back when they graduate and gain employment. The money is recycled and used for other incoming student.

Nigeria is not a communist nation. I can't even understand how anyone would suggest scholarship for University education in this day and age for every student.

That's not Sowore's point... No need for this needless deflection.

Agreed, subsidized or free tertiary education is an untenable mirage.

But... What is stopping all children and wards of those feeding fat from the nation's limited wealth from schooling here?!!

Every single one of them (or at least most of them) benefited from quality education in these same Nigerian schools... So, what is chasing their own kids from enjoying the same?!!

Same issue with the healthcare sector...!


Shall we also talk about or defend them in the area of security?!!

Hate him all you want... But, no one can argue against these facts he stated.


It's amusing, and also saddening, how students and graduates suffering in Nigeria can still afford to support these politicians.

Dem no just send una papa at all.

Dress anyhow you like... You are an adult.

However, be bold enough to own your choice of semi-nudity.

Why using your hands to cover what you chose to expose in the first place?!!

Smh.

...Okay.

So, after this mass charade wedding, will there also be:

Mass feeding
Mass accommodation
Mass Antenatal and post-natal payment
Mass upkeep

...for the rest of the couples' lives?!!

That Mayor is not very smart...!

He is just playing into Trump's trap, and making things difficult for his fellow Muslims.

Smh... This Democracy we claim to be practising is just helping terrorism thrive.

Take another loan.....to buy a brain.

Smh... This guy and his appointees talk too much.

Lead by example... Quit leaving the nation to seek healthcare abroad, and ban your ministers from doing otherwise too.

Manny21:
Nigerian men they enjoy. We do not need to share our property with gold diggers. Imagine a billion is not able to cheat in peace

Na that divorce settlement push Gates and Bezos down the Billionaire rating...!

Imagine a woman coming in with next to nothing, and walking away with half the assets of a Multi Billionaire.

The new trend abroad is for ladies to lure wealthy naive young sportsmen into matrimony, play the good wife for a year and a half, and go fishing for Divorce and settlement.

For an advanced society, American justice system acts dumb when it comes to Marriage and family.

Lol... Vampires don't bother with "love bites".

...They go for the jugular.

Lol... This is precisely how Tinubu's successor will drag his name into every failing or ineptitude.

Accountability is quite alien to Nigerian leaders.

Jayhome24:
Ask Google cus it just a damn wasting of time and data responding to a lazy boy who have chosen to be lazy so go and ask Google it will help you if you can't see progress I'm seen it, sane Nigerians seen it, hardworking Nigerians seen it so the sight is not for a lazy dude like you.

U go hear word by force..

Cry cry baby ntoor!!!

Please don't be dull... It's too early for needless stupidity.

So, every citizen of Nigeria needs to use Google before seeing progress made in their nation?!!

I didn't even criticize the leaders, so your guilty conscience is just overacting.

If progress has been made massively as claimed, why the constant need to explain what should be visible to all?!!


This was how we spent abi wasted 8 years explaining the "progress" being made by Buhari... Same way precious resources were expended to prove that Jonathan knew what he was doing, when the reality said otherwise.


Please come up with something more intellectually sound, or simply desist from mentioning me.

Thank you.

Jayhome24:
Pls tell them to open their eyes and see the progress made so far.

We the supporters of Tinubu knew his ability and knows he is the best man for the job not all those cho cho cho with no testimonial as a proof than breeding online toothless Tigers with zero electoral value.

Open their eyes how?!!

Does PROGRESS hide?!!

True success and progress can't be hidden from the blind, neither can it be unheard of to the deaf.

I don't get why development and economic progress need to be explained to the millions who should be benefiting from it.

I expect average voting Nigerians to be unanimous and unequivocal in testifying to and commending the "Giant strides" of this administration.

When he was governor of Lagos, did average Lagosians need to be begged or cajoled to keep him in office for two terms?!!

The concept of explaining the success of this administration using windy statistical narratives and grandiloquence is just weird and strange to me.

Let's assume few bitter members of the opposition are blinded and deafened by hate to the amazing things on ground... What about the remaining millions of Nigerians across the nation?!! What is blinding their eyes from seeing the massive development in all sectors?

Why are they enjoying the greatness and success of Tinubu's regime without voicing out compliments and plaudits?

Why are the only "grateful" and "patriotic" Nigerians largely from Mr. President's region and social circle?!!


Even the Bible put it succinctly:

"When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."
- Proverbs 16:7

At this point... Who seriously gives a shit?!!
