Even in the fairest and freest of elections Sowore still won't come out in the top 5!

Still, he is right!


Heavy rigging will definitely happen in Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Imo, etc.

Good luck. But you ain't gonna win.
Even Pandora knows it deep down that he's not going to win too. Prof. Soludo.

It doesn't matter...!

He and Peter Obi will lose nothing if they don't win!

The biggest losers in a critical election where poor leaders get elected are the average citizens!

This is just common sense!

The very first thing any sensible elected president should do is push for constitution amendment, with consequent restructuring of government!


The next priority should be to immediately cut down cost of governance by at least 50%!

Doyou2019:
The Governor and President wouldn't even say a word!
If this kin thing happen in lowly Kenya, the kind uproar it would generate ehn.

Nigeria is gone!!!

This is not the country I grew up in.

Nigeria is long gone indeed!

Economy gone!

Security down the toilet!

Unity nonexistent!

Transparency unknown!


....Yet people wonder why smart people are fleeing in their hundreds!

An entire region of Christians being slaughtered like sheep since 1960!

If this isn't selective genocide, I honestly don't know what else to call it.

Yet, it's okay to pretend that we are a united nation without any religious or ethnic issues!

Hmmm... Ran over the man, reversed and repeated it.


This is cold blooded murder!

Unnecessary bad blood!

Some human beings are so emotionally fickle!

Negroes... Same thing has been happening for years now yet nothing has been done.


It's until there is a massive or terrible carnage they do the needful!

What will it take to properly regulate and prevent these merchants of death from taking further lives!

Trust is not in play today, the accounts are. It's simply unaffordable. Anyone you care to vote for has said that they are removing subsidy. Let's cry together next year

Good... Everyone knows subsidy has to go, or should have since been removed!

The issue here is that the same set of people who argued against it vehemently in the past have no moral standing today to speak on its removal! That's the simple crux of this thread.

Next time, stick to the objective of a discourse.

Nigeria's economy wasn't supposed to be manageable then, 2012, but very good and that was the problem. The people were not confident with the government.
There was so much waste and frivolous spending by the government that they were not trusted to be given more while people pay for it. Nigerians went out en masse, not just Tinubu or APC. A government that was lavishing billions and now gave people New Year gift of pump price increase and subsidy removal. It was a very insensitive timing with no cushion which was very affordable. You must know Farouk Lawan, no?

How many Nigerians trust this useless government of today?!!

You say Nigerians can't protest today??! EndSars protesters were from what nation?!!

What has APC done to better things since 2015?!!


How do they pick campaigners for APC please?!! No wonder Tinubu is desperate!

Nothing meaningful to sell to Nigerians!

Image123:
Absolutely nothing has changed in Nigeria? Really?

Improvement in economy: Nil

Security: Nil

Standard of Living: worse

Cost of Living: ridiculous

Corruption: worse




Please, what has changed for the better since APC took over?!!

Timing is what determines if you can eat your food or not. If you take it out too soon or too late, it's not the same taste and quality. This is so basic i feel worried having to break it down.
Nigerians came out en masse to protest and show their displeasure when the federal government announced the removal of the fuel subsidy, around the time the contents of the 2012 budget revealed excessive amounts given to frivolities.

Listen to yourself...

Please, what has changed today??!

Absolutely nothing!!!

All Buhari and Tinubu needed to do then was simply to help encourage Nigerians accept the reality of the futuristic benefits of the removal then instead of leading the opposition against it...

But no, they needed GEJ to fail so that they would win the next election, forgetting a nation's progress is beyond politics!

Okealaaye:
Like you don't know Economics! There were many poor people in 2012 as there are today. The Bible says the poor shall not cease from the land, or aren't you a Bible believing Christian?

What was the value of the Naira against the Dollar back then?!!

What was the earning potential of an average Nigerian back then compared to now?!!!

What was the average standard of living of most Nigerians then compared to today?!!

By how much has the minimum wage across government to private establishments increased since then?!

By how much have the nation's internal revenue generation and exportation increased since then?!!

What was the level of inflation then compared to now?!!

Let's start from these basics!

Okealaaye:
They protested because removing subsidy then was inauspicious. Now is the time.

Then was the perfect time because living costs were not as high as they are today.


Do you have any idea what subsidy removal will do to an average Nigerian today?!! Compare it to 2012!

One of the few reasonable things he has said so far!

Yet, he is a bloody hypocrite!

He instigated protests against Jonathan over this same subsidy removal...!

The only people who need serious encouragement and convincing are those thinking of voting APC!

Still making these same old promises...!

Man City's lineup looks superior...! They look like they came to do serious damage to Liverpool!

5years ago

This is just unneccessary

It is highly pertinent and necessary because corruption has worsened since then!


You can't hide from the truth!

Imagine Mbappe, Saka, Pogba, Thuram, Kante, etc, playing for Africa! Just imagine it!

If DSS, police and military are serious about ending banditry and terrorism, they can achieve this in less than 3 months!


You know their sponsors but you can't or won't touch them...!

Incompetence everywhere...!

It takes a special level of tolerance, sacrifice, and compromise to stay with one man or woman for life!


I have no less respect for divorced couples...! Marriage can't work for everyone.

Well done to him... Don't know him Sha!

oluwakayode25:
Wetin cultist find am come for odd hour?? Something is unclear!!!!!

Cultists too the head of a top rival cultist!

It's a matter of retaliation!

Those that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind!

You mean cultists beheaded a top rival cultist!

No need to sensationalize this... You don't get killed this violently or gruesomely for minding your legit business and living a peaceful life!

Violence begets violence!

CodeTemplar:
how many refinery did GEJ fix and run?

You mean after his subsidy removal attempt was reversed due to riots and protests instigated by your current leaders?!! Or do you mean before?!!


Please, specifically ask the right questions!

I hold no brief for the man... His administration was corrupt and tainted. However, the move to remove subsidy was brilliant and even overdue.

Nigerian celebrities will always go wherever the money beckons!

wirinet:
Why will you like a white South African who lived his early years under apartheid, immigrated to the US, became a billionaire and is mixing business with politics.

Obviously you like those with money.

The distinctive qualities of rare success are not restricted to the righteous!

Life isn't black and white!

Thank you.

Well, you all fought and insulted GEJ in 2012 when he did the needul.


Those who fought and instigated riots against him are now in the seat of power, suddenly they can't perform the very miracle they demanded of the former president.

If subsidy had been allowed to die in 2012 by both supporters and foes of GEJ, we would be way ahead of this economic curve by now.

Sadly, if the subsidy has to go today, it will come at a horrendously higher price than it would have been in 2012!

It's such a shame that foresight is not the strong suit of an average Nigerian both common and elite.

Lovely pictures...! They always look like Father and Daughter!

millionboi:
the why is bcoz he has money,if he is poor you will detest him

Not exactly...! There are poor individuals with the same mindset and attitude that I also like.

That's like saying I like all wealthy people, or that wealth is the standard for being liked.

MacDani:
If dem like Japa, if Dem like remain... Las Las non of my business... With or without them 1 day Nigerians go unite, Nigerians go better pass all those countries.... My prayer be say make I dey alive witness em!!! We move

I say a big Amen to that prayer sir!
