seunowa: Nobody does it better than president Tinubu.
Nobody does misplaced priorities better than the Lagos TAX monster planner, who has raised IGR and budget 100 times without employing civil servants for similar improvements in services and utilities.
Burob: A presidential term under Nigeria’s constitution is 4 years, so a clueless fellow that was president for 6 years is a one term president to u abi?
If Jonathan had agreed, & stepped down it 2015 as the northern bloc in his party advised him to honorably do so as to save the sanctity of the system based on the lacuna in the constitution that hadn’t been ratified then, most probably the Pdp would have still been in power today.

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
All present crop of attemptees can't lace his boots.
It’s true that no one can lace his boots in corruption and incompetence that has worsened every single aspect of governance since 2023, such that his expired Buhari suddenly seems like a smart guy.

Bluntemperor: •Alh.Ganduje,you have spoken well. -Let the so called Opposition tell us what they can do better than Tinubu,as at today ! •Let ALL ' THE FORMER' POLITICIANS - Who have Tasted Power before,COME OUT TO DISPUTE GANDUJE Statements, - that they are better than Tinubu.
- Opposition are Not Better, for they don't have what it takes to Run a Complex State like Nigeria,but they can resort to- Tribalism, Ethnicity, Religion ☯️ inclinations,hence they can't get there! •For example,Former PDP and Sympathetisers - were Unable to Construct A Road 🛣️ for 16- •yrs - e.g Lagos-Ibadan Express Road,, •the East ➡️-West ⬅️ Road was Awarded Several times,yet Money gone - No Projects! •TRUTH and Hard FACTS Are Coming Up.
Wale Edun has bluntly stated that you have no clue how PDP deregulation and privatisation politicians gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity.

Richtaiwo: That is indeed the most appropriate course of action. All NURTW members in Enugu should turn out en masse to welcome their leader. Let me see anyone bold enough to stay away when their great leader is being honoured.
After all, even within prison walls there is always a leader. I am told that Nnamdi Kanu is now the reigning mazi of Sokoto Prison. Rumour also has it that he offers daily songs of praise to the Sultan of Sokoto.
This school na scam kundus lawless man is one of the best examples of how Tinubu’s life president ambition is going to be.
Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC is the worst in lawlessness and corruption since Nigeria was amalgamated 112 years ago.
Appeal Court Removed ‘Illegal’ NURTW President ‘MC Oluomo’, But He Won’t Quit Office
Musiliu Akinsanya, a former chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Management Committee, has continued to disregard the law in acting as national president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), a trade union of transport workers in the country.
In November 2024, a Court of Appeal in Abuja affirmed an earlier National Industrial Court of Nigeria judgment pronouncing Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as president of the union.
Baruwa had served for four years and he was to be serving his second term, having been reelected in August 2023, three months to the termination of his first tenure as enunciated by the union’s constitution.
But some members of the union, led by Najeem Usman Yasin, a former president of the same union and current chairman of its Board of Trustees (BoT), disputed Baruwa’s re-election, causing the police in the Federal Capital Territory to arrest and detain him many times.
Yasin unilaterally dissolved the National Administrative Council led by Baruwa and then facilitated the setting up of a National Caretaker Committee to administer the union. At this point, Baruwa and 13 others, including the NURTW as a juristic personality, headed to the National Industrial Court.

uniquetechng: APC with their evil politics actually frustrated his efforts especially with that incompetent Fashola that said 6 months is enough to generate steady power in Nigeria.

That Fashola is the most useless of the propagandist lot.
How could he be so shameless
anonimi: Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'
Jul 11, 2014.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.
According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.
"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.
pendy79: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.
The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.
While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.
He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.
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.

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.
No, the waist focused siNate President is busy advising us on what to do for survival in the absence of jobs promised by APC, that would have allowed Nigerians earn a living in dignity.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.
Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.
Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

Food4Thought: We are handing the country over to Nigerians whom are truly the owners of the country. Nigerians already know who the president of a New Nigeria will be.
The president of a New Nigeria will be answerable and accountable to Nigerians. A New Nigeria is POssible.
A new Nigeria is indeed possible with the foundational brain-box of PDP’s 16 years of widespread prosperity built on deregulation and privatisation policies.
A new Nigeria is possible with the man who rescued Obi from political obscurity in 2019, by making him his running mate.
DeLaRue: To think that some Southern politicians joining ADC and clamouring for another Northern muslim President so soon after Mr Buhari, is just incredible.
The want to subject the South and all Nigerian Christians to continuing subjugated by those people.
Why did Tinubu clamour for another northerner Muslim in 2015 so soon after Yar’Adua?
Why did Tinubu want to subject the south and all Nigerian Christians to those Mu-Mu people with his Shettima running mate
How can they meet their match in an ayederu ọmọ àlè, whose surname is different from that of his Mogaji mother?
With the way he gave the HoR Speaker to a northerner in 2011 instead of the Yoruba woman PDP candidate, how do you know that Tinubu is not a northerner from Borgu

A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.

LegendHero: She supported Obi in 2023 too and he came third.
I’m not even sure Obi will be on the ballot in 2027, he will probably deputize Atiku. They will still lose as usual.
Atiku is better off without having a polarising person like Obi as his running mate. Whatever he brings with his narrow, ethnoreligious appeal is taken away by the bigger groups that have a governance stake in Nigeria.
Obi showed his uselessness in 2023, four years after Atiku rescued him from his political IDP camp where Obiano sent him after his failed attempt to be Anambra godfather in 2014.
Atiku is better off with Makinde as his running mate to engage with the media for impromptu talks, since Atiku is not very articulate in his own words that leaves too much room for misunderstanding and manipulation by his detractors.
Gunayo: That is what every sane person should do. Welcome on board Ma. More to still come.
ADC is the party to beat. 2015 will repeat itself in 2027.
How is this Obi logic not insane for everyone to abandon the politically naive and governance olodo of plenty noise?
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.

How is a call for tribal equity translate into politicising the military
Are we not tribesmen who use rotation, zoning and federal character to share the national cake that is produced in the scorched earth region of Niger Delta?
edet19892015: Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth, 1. The idiots, 2. The tribesmen, and 3. The citizens.
Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they sit for exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.
In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen
3. The last group are "Citizens". These are people who like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams. In government, they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".
Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation. And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.
But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.
Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life. Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.
Did you vote for Tinubu? When Peter obi wins he will give Igbos appointment.
Abi o. Don’t mind the guy who doesn’t know what Yorubalokan agenda means.
Nevertheless, don’t you think that Tinubu should give Igbo people some credit for their indirect votes that gave him the chance to continue worsening APC extreme poverty shege that started 11 years ago when he made his 2011 expired Buhari into APC change messiah
Image123: The U.S. ($38.3T) and China ($18.7T) are the two countries with the most government debt, and together make up just over half of the world's total debt ($110.9T). In 2025, Japan had the highest public debt level in relation to its gross domestic product, at almost 230 percent.
i don't like debt, but debt is not proof of looting. Please, use the brain.
If you had used your grey matter, you would have noticed that the comment you replied was not about the country having debt or not having debt.
It’s about the hugely increasing debt of Tinubu and Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC despite growing revenue from higher taxes and subsidy removal.
Lekby25: The FCT workers want to show Wike that power belongs to the people.
They want him to be sacked
Indeed power belongs to the people and no leader can ignore the wishes of the people who allow him to be in public office to SERVE the interests of the people, whether it is in a small or large group, simple or complex society. The Israelites even compelled their Lord God of Israel to give them a king instead of continuing to be ruled by judges/priests.
The wicked, land grabbing ologogoro should resign before he is sacked by his employers.
