yarimo: this is very commendable from the Senate president, Natasha may go there and claim sexual harassment just to embarrassed the national assembly with false alarm
Is that how city boy has been embarrassing Nigeria everywhere with false claims?
Do you think that is why God is punishing him to fall yakata like Humpty Dumpty ?
ajailer: when you are given a place of responsibility, you are expected to understand what is expected of you, but this female senator has shown that she lacks the capacity for responsibility to be placed on her shoulder, so when a more deserving person is given her expected role, I feel that is not too bad. Everything is not about beauty and sex allure.
Is everything about wickedness and clueless vengeance that makes a mockery of our giant of Africa country?

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.
WYZAD: Dude will be expelled ASAP if he drags further. APC isn't like other parties. There's a leader in APC and if he fails to adhere to what d leader says, he will be booted out and make sure his political career ends without any form of revival in d future. Party supremacy leads in APC.

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria also ranked worst in Africa. Nigeria’s low voter turnout
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.
It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.
Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.

anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
meobizy: She should return to Tinubu’s administration if civilization wants to kill her.
Yes o.
She has to enjoy All Promises Cancelled, APC reforms by city boy, which has crashed petrol price below the January 2023 level.
Ẹ jẹ ki a fi ọkàn balẹ fún city boy.
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.
fuckingAyaya: They impoverish the people so when they give them rice and palm oil they will gladly accept with two hands.
Cheers to bad governance.
APC has the worst record of leaders looters in governance.
We have to double our hustle to ensure that we enlighten everyone around us and beyond, to reduce the impact of A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC deception and manipulation.
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
aswani: It should be ROTIFN which stands for "Rest Obidients, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria".
Whether or not he should be on the ballot to be fixing anything, having being a member of a useless political class, including Atiku and Peter "cho cho cho" Obi, is neither here nor there.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
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.
Jayhome24: This current petrol headache is not Tinubu making at all its Trmp making

They are with Trump fir threatening EU over Iceand. They are angry with Trump supporting separatist in Canada to fistsblise the country infact his sins are just two much within 2 years in office and now his defiancy is costing the entire world petrol headache.
Is the previous petrol headache until February 2026, solely the making of Tinubu

Brendaniel: Can you answer these questions sincerely:
What was GEJ's offense to you people?
Why were you people angry with him?
The offence of Jonathan and PDP is straightforward in this regard- they failed to keep petrol price under N70, which is the price that All Promises Cancelled, APC leaders looters said it should NEVER go above.

wellmax: Comprehension is a big challenge for some people here. Keep ranting
Comprehension must be a much bigger challenge for the city boy who promised to crash not just petrol price but also dollar rate, since he has worsened both and made life unaffordable for Nigerians, who also have to deal with worse unemployment.
What do you think of Tinubu's balablu rant and fake announcements?
nairalanda1: We should not go back to subsidy abeg.
I am thankful for the GEJ admin for one thing, for opening my eyes to how bad subsidy was tanking our economy. Especially when I realized that as at January 2012, we were importing fuel at N99 and selling it at N65 (just before the increase to N140 and then to N97 and later on N87.)
Add awareness of smuggling, and the result is...wasteage.
People know me as the anti-subsidy guy on this site. And I get called tinubu and buhari supporter for it. But as for me, this is not about politics, or who is in charge. If it was Obi or Atiku in charge and they removed subsidy, I go sound the same.
Yes, people are suffering with this high prices, and I expect my fuel bills to go up. Drastically. But the cost to Nigeria of 50 years of subsidy was loss of four refineries and loss of billions of naira to corruption and stealing and smuggling. And a lot of waste...plus we were at the end dashing foreign refineries scarce forex in the name of importing quack fuel.
(Just this saturday I saw a swan water bottle filled with Dangote petrol, and I was impressed. That's the first time in a long time I am seeing world standard fuel. Clear fuel. Not the brownish stuff we were used to for years).
Subsidy has to go. The problem is, people like to be paid, and people like to make a profit. If you like, you can call me names and so on....but until your power sector makes profit, una no go have light, and right now we have working refineries for the first time in years, let's not spoil it with another yeye subsidy.
(Yes, tinubu was a hypocrite for opposing subsidy removal, and for you obidents, no such thing as gradual removal of subsidy...because that is what buhari was doing to decieve us)
Why is Tinubu borrowing more than PDP deregulation and privatisation politicians who gave us cheap petrol and better life, including licensing this private Dangote refinery
What is he doing with $84 billion subsidy savings?
Why did Buhari borrow more than PDP presidents despite saving trillions from subsidy removal?
gabydaniels: Aug 25, 2016 The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has disclosed that the federal government has so far saved the sum of N1.4 trillion for not paying oil subsidy.
He also assured Nigerians that very soon, the foreign exchange market would stabilise going by some radical policies already introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The vice president who spoke in Kano yesterday during the third day of the 15th Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development meeting, urged Nigerians to restore confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, insisting that soonest, the current economic problems would become a thing of the past.
“With the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector, there has been a significant increase in the availability of petrol throughout the country for the savings of N1.4 trillion on subsidy payments alone,” he said.
“Also, a more flexible exchange rate regime, we will have to decrease the pressure on the external reserve. In the short run of course, there should be consequences for inflation. We expect that with greater priority we have seen in the implementation of the policy by the CBN, the foreign exchange market will stabilise and confidence will be restored.
HacheNoire: One of the great accomplishments of the administration of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)
Putting States on prudent financial appropriations was a big goal and win for states.
Why can't he put himself on prudent financial appropriation so he does not owe workers their wage awards since October 2023?
Do you know how much the N35,000 of back then is worth now with APC's hyperinflation of the last three years, due to their clueless mismanagement of the economy
agentarcher: Those same country complain as well. UK nurses have gone on strikes multiple times cause of wages, teacher union have gone on strike multiple times. Nigerians greatly suffer from inferior complex. From the day we are born we have been told western countries are heaven and Africa is hell fire. Our education system and religious system are aimed at programming us to japa. The same Nigeria we say is bad is where foreigners come and make it and go. Most poor Nigerians are from the North. In the south there is no money but hotels are booked on the weekends, clubs are booming, prostitution is a booming industry. Major importation of goods is entering the country, you find a lot of Nigerians on the Internet being able to afford data. Most modern Nigerians are just frustrated cause they sold a lie that going to school and getting a certificate was going to make life easy for them. Even in the same abroad they run to they end with depression, mass loneliness, doing third class citizens jobs. When they get to a certain advanced age, thanks to social media they come online to rant about how they feel they have not accomplished anything or how their spouse left them due to difficulties faced. I work IT in an international community, just like we rant about our society, they rant. The difference is they don't see going to another nation as the fix, they try to educate themselves on why their society changes and how they adapt or change it back. In Japan what did the men do when wages couldn't support a family? They gave up on getting married and having children. There was a report that was out that Caucasian men in western countries have reduced the numbers or children they have or just don't have one. Resulting increase demand of migrants to fill up work force. The number of people on social support keeps on increasing, is that a good sign? Social experts have predicted a global collapse is coming soon. USA has already rolled out lab grown and synthetic foods to try and keep up with the food demands of the low income class. It's even on tik tok, people in USA have been posting about how the standards of food have slowly degraded. You have your phone and the Internet. Research global inflation and it's impact.
agentarcher: Why is that some Nigerians judge Nigeria inflation like it's an isolated thing? What country can purchase the same things their currency could in the 1900s in 2020s? Inflation is a global thing. No car company will sell a vehicle to you with the same marketing strategies as they did in the past.
And the funny thing is despite the inflation people still buy the latest vehicles.
In the other countries we are doing japa to, has inflation outstripped general wage level and complicated by unemployment as is the case in extreme poverty Nigeria
anonimi: The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience
JUNE 24, 2019
The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.
Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.
Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.
