Ttalk: He stopped Buhari from crying on National TV
And he claimed his reward eight years later, for making a clueless man president so that Jonathan became a one term president, not so?
What was the point of ending PDP’s 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol and less debt burden? Why did Tinubu replace the goodness of PDP with the extreme poverty and insecurity shege of APC
Mrexcell: I watched a video where river's residents where shouting holy ghost fire at the sight of a moving tinibu's campaign vehicle i was just wondering if it has now gotten to this stage.
If what you said is true then why did APC win landslide in the recent bye elections
lawani: You say the North was used? They knew they were obliged to vote Tinubu because he helped them. If he didn't help them then Jonathan would have won and the Ohanaeze had already announced it would be SE turn after Jonathan and who said they wouldn't have won?
Nigeria is not controlled by any one group. You have to negotiate to take or retain power in Nigeria. If Atiku had won in 2023 then the Yoruba would gave gone into opposition and it would be a mere delay and not a denial. If any group want to rule their space then they need to ask for disintegration.
How will we ever stop birthing children to be japa slaves to those who have evolved beyond tribalistic and clannish zoning and rotation? Any idea how?
Future propaganda tense that has been used since 1999 to steal Lagos money instead of making ordinary water available is now been used to wreck the entire country worse than Buhari did.
What was Nigeria's position before Tinubu begged Buhari out of retirement to make Jonathan a one term president in 2015 and what is the position now? How did we move from 1st to 4th place in 11 years of APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege that was fraudulently sold as positive change?
Why did we allow Tinubu scam us to replace PDP widespread prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol and low debt burden that was built on deregulation and privatisation policies
thisweekng: The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.
He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.
He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.” Private sector to drive the economy
Is the former Ebonyi governor calling God's name in vain because it was He who made Tinubu fail to crash petrol below N165 that it was in January 2023 when he promised to do so in Abeokuta?
Why do these APC leaders looters take us for their mumus
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
Gotocourt: He got involved in politics during the Third Republic and contested the 1991 Lagos State governorship election on the platform of the National Republican Congress (NRC).
Although Lagos was a majority SDP state, protest votes from sections of the SDP led to victory for Sir Otedola.
The governor was a member of the NRC, but the SDP had an overwhelming majority in the House of Assembly and it controlled the local governments. Sir Michael was able to manage the situation very well.
He served as governor from January 1992 till November 1993 when Abacha struck.
All Bandit will decamp
Is the thread about the son or is it about the father who was a governor from NRC, during Babangida's ill-fated experiment before Abacha took over and tried to be civilian life president, but apples took him off earlier than scheduled?
anonimi: My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola
What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
AdamuKD: You see what I am talking about You are a perfect example of a real Nigerian and the way we reason
Did globalization kill other countries textile industries?
We always find a way to defend our bad leaders because he is from our region or based on religion affiliation So we don't hold them accountable
Abi o, thank you o jare.
That is how some would be saying globalisation killed our refineries too, instead of acknowledging wasteful government ownership as the root cause of the rottenness that APC has used propaganda to cover with their master strategy of playing politics with our welfare.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.
The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”
The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.
It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.
The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”
The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.
It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.
saintopus: Dec 06, 2024 The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai.
The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.
The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.
Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.
The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.
The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.
Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.
This story won't be complete without the patron saint of Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC. The man who rose from being a textile worker and tailor in Kaduna to trade unionist, to activist, governor etc to flying opio CSW escorts on private jets massaging her feet.
How much of the failure of the textile industry and other sectors is due to[b] our averseness to deregulation and privatisation, which unlocked the potentials of our economy for 16 years[/b] that PDP gave us widespread prosperity, peace and stability?
How do we get our country back from APC pseudo progressive socialists, who are giving us extreme poverty and insecurity shege instead of the positive change promised us, after Tinubu went to Kaduna to beg Buhari out of retirement for the purpose of making Jonathan a one term president?
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
opeldavid: Nice one. You have been liberated. We keep praying for others to be liberated and see the light away from darkness.

Peter Obi is coming!!!
Is Peter Obi coming to be worse than Tinubu or coming to be what?
NLCreator: Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Efuaye: I hope this isn't a case of the North versus the South, as they were against President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
Unfortunately, the obvious Tinùbu's failure will not allow any rational person to defend him.
Do you mean the north led by their JagaBandiot of Borgu? The man who earned his 2023 turn because he begged Buhari out of retirement in 2015 to be president, and make Jonathan a one term president? That was four years after calling Buhari an expired soldier.
The master strategist who ended 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol and low debt burden.
soccerlite: Most cows in nigeria aren't of the high milk producing specie
Most for meat production
Either way for beef production or milk production, open grazing is a satanic venture
Atiku understands the issues of open grazing and the need for ranching, unlike Buhari who Tinubu begged out of retirement to make President, therefore ending Jonathan’s presidency in one term.
Is it not satanic that Tinubu called Buhari expired four years earlier in 2011
How did we allow Tinubu to end 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol and low debt burden?
Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.
The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.
He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.
He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.
He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.
jazzman7711: WILL YOU SHUT UP THERE. AMERICA AND UK THAT HAVE MADE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE HALAL ECONOMY IN THEIR COUNTRIES, ARE ALSO "ISLAMIC TERRORIST GOVERNMENTS, ABI?"
IF YOU HATE MUSLIMS SO MUCH, KUKU STOP EATING MEAT AND FOOD, BECAUSE THEY SUPPLY ALL OF IT TOO, INCLUDING YOUR ONIONS AND TOMATOES FOR YOUR STEW!!
ONE THING YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THIS WORLD IS NOT ABOUT PERMANENT ENEMIES. IT'S ABOUT PERMANENT INTERESTS. IF YOU SACRIFICE YOUR INTERESTS ON THE ALTAR OF MALICE, YOU LOSE!
Screaming YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS won't prevent people from calling out your lies.
How do Muslims supply all meat and food in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world
madridguy: I think this thread is about Iran and the USA?
I know this thread is about Trump and war mongering, which brought him to Nigeria on the invitation of Tinubu who is clueless about fighting insecurity.
Truthday: A new bill in the United States House of Representatives seeks to have the US Secretary of State collaborate with Nigeria to counter what lawmakers describe as the destabilizing impact of illegal Chinese mining operations in the country.
The “Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026” was introduced on Tuesday by five Republican lawmakers: Chris Smith, Riley Moore, Brian Mast, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Bill Huizenga. The sponsors allege that some Chinese mining companies operating in Nigeria have been paying protection money to Fulani militias, fueling local violence and insecurity.
Under the proposed legislation, the Secretary of State would provide technical support to Nigeria aimed at reducing and ultimately eliminating militia-related violence, including through disarmament programs and comprehensive counter-terrorism cooperation. The bill also calls for coordination with international partners such as France, Hungary, and the UK to advance religious freedom and peace.
Clauses 10 and 11 of the bill specifically direct:
“The Secretary of State should work with the Government of Nigeria to counteract the hostile foreign exploitation of Chinese illegal mining operations and their destabilizing practice of paying protection money to Fulani militias.”
madridguy: Only if Trump will be a man enough to come out publicly to say what he sees in the hand of Iran.
Those guys caused damages worth billions of dollars.
If they caused so much damages then why did Tinubu invite Trump to kill innocent northerners on Christmas day, under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists accused of Christian genocide
Do you know what Trump saw in the hands of Tinubu?
LordLicifer: Why is Teenubu govament so afraid of Obi? Why? Why? Mmmmm.....
If they are so afraid of him he must be doing the right thing.

givedemwotowoto: Peter Obi's only "crime" was that he wasn't loud about his achievements all over the media when he was governor, choosing to prioritize working for the people rather than looting funds and hiring propagandists to hype phantom achievements like today's leaders are doing.
Nigerians will not be deceived by propagandists who claim to love Nigeria, but actively destroying it with corruption, incompetence, cluelessness, and insecurity.
Did he work for the people by having doctors on strike for 13 months and making them pay tolls for roads? The more one examines Obi's records, the more he seems a twin of demonic Tinubu and his lootocracy Lagos tax master plan that has been upgraded to Abuja by the master strategist of Nigerian politics who is however clueless about governance.
Enough with the pretenders. Out with the scammers.
anonimi: Anambra doctors call off strike after 13 months February 28, 2012
After over a year of down tools, Anambra State Government employed medical doctors have finally called of strike. According to Dr. Emma Ekwesianya, Chairman Anambra State chapter of Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), the striking doctors decided to pick up tools again because of the plight of the ordinary people in the societ. “It is true, we have called off the strike. We have just signed the agreement with government about an hour ago. The Secretary to the State Government (SSG) signed for the government. A technical committee, headed by Prof. O.O. Mbonu was set up to execute the agreement.” He confirmed.
“We decided to take the 60 per cent offered by government because of our people. Government has been rigid and we do not want to continue with the rigidity of government. We are serving the people, not government and our people are suffering.” Speaking further, Ekwesianya, revealed that a technical committee, headed by Prof. O.O. Mbonu had also been set up by the association to see to the implementation of the agreement with government sequel to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Peter Obi-led government on Monday.
Chief Medical Director, Anambra State University Teaching Hospital (ASUTH), Amaku, Awka, Dr. Lawrence Ikeakor also confirmed the new development: “Well I’m happy to tell you that the strike has been amicably resolved, even though, like you said, it’s been a prolonged one but suffice it to say that it has been resolved and the doctors have resumed work.” “The call off was yesterday (Sunday). The doctors had some negotiations and held their congress yesterday, during which they agreed to call off the strike. So they resumed duty today. They are in their clinic. Well, I was not privy to the agreement but I will say that our representatives were satisfied with the arrangement, hence they decided to call off the strike.” He disclosed.
yommen: The same Tinubu that made an Igbo man a commissioner in Lagos while he was governor? Sit down and think before you talk.
How does one commissioner reflect the socioeconomic contribution of Igbo people and other non Yoruba people in Lagos state, based on the fact that six out of 24 HoR members from the state in 2015 elections were not Yoruba people
That was the year that Oba Akiolu threatened genocide against Igbo people who vote against Ambode and APC.
Amotolongbo: This doesn’t look like something worth arguing or debating on. Mention another country more than Nigeria in population that has ever won the World Cup apart from Brazil.
India has almost x5 of the Nigerian population, has she ever qualified for the World Cup, let alone winning it?
I agree with you that this should not be our focus when we are global champions of extreme poverty and out of school children.
mindtricks: I don't even envy you, getting people to hate Obi is harder bringing a dead man to life. Every time you push your dirty campaign, more people verify and see it's not true, and they fall in love with him.
It’s obvious why you have mind tricks as your moniker.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment. He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.
Ofunaofu: Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years
• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio
•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency
A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.
The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings. > > According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.
The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.
The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.
“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.
It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.
Since after 2019 when he rescued Obi from the political wilderness that Obiano consigned him, following his failed attempt to be Anambra master strategist godfather like Tinubu is in Lagos since 1999
Abi since 2007 when he led other democracy heroes to kill the bill for Obasanjo's 3rd term in the NASS despite Ghana must go bags of bribe?
Who is your politician with more credibility than Atiku?
