abc115: President Bola Tinubu is the best President in the history of Nigeria
Yes o.
How many pictures of the uncompleted roads are you using as legal tender Naira to get expensive petrol that he failed to crash the price as he promised
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.
Chucks13: Oga vomit all the yams who ate and stop raising yeye alarm.
Very shameless thief a whole Chief Justice of Federstion and Attoney General who suppose to use his power fight corruption and criminals he was busy looting upon looting now shouting legal team.
When was he the Chief Justice of the Federation
Have your own tribal leaders looters in the zoning and rotational cake sharing arrangements, vomited the yams that they ate instead of employing well paid civil servants to make government services, public utilities and common facilities available for everyone?
Tribal zoning and rotational arrangements for legislative and executive offices in local, state and federal governments.
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.
Switruth: This one go soon holla "Where is the Law?". So full of himself when he was dealing with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu... Tinubu will show this guy pepper. They should send him to the prison in owerri... While MNK is in sokoto..Malami will be in Owerri where he will be made the igwe of owerri prisons.
Karma is real. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Is that how you expect Tinubu to be a dictator and life president as Cameroonian Biya, after using your increased tax burden to bribe politicians and buy votes for his reelection and his 3rd term agenda?
The 3rd term agenda that Obasanjo failed to achieve despite Ghana must go bribes to siNators and representaThieves, thanks to Atiku’s leadership of other democrats who blocked it.
NaijaRoyalty: …Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money
However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”
Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.
He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.
Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.
Any idea why he has not yet resigned if he is not in charge of HIS own government, as you claim?
Why did he fight for power, grabbing it and running with it when he is not in charge of his government? What is the logic behind this reasoning
Did you allow him to be president, just so he can tax the heck out of Nigerians, for the sake of going to snap pictures of having lunch in France with the Rwandan president who was simultaneously enjoying new year festivities in his own country?
Putindbutt: Were the Senators from Kebbi sleeping when this was happening?.
Kebbi people need to protest at the Senate.
Is that how you equally expect 200 million Nigerians to protest at the NASS for the criminal alteration of the tax bill that they passed after harmonisation
We’ve Confirmed Alterations In Gazetted Tax Laws – Reps Panel
The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has confirmed that some of Nigeria’s recently gazetted tax laws were illegally altered after being passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was disclosed in an interim report of the Minority Caucus Ad-hoc Committee on Tax Laws, set up to investigate allegations of discrepancies between the tax reform Acts passed by the legislature and the versions published in the official gazette. >>>> >>>>> The report revealed that at least three different versions of the Nigeria Tax Administration Act were in circulation, while the directive to “align” the Acts with the Federal Government Printing Press pointed to “procedural anomalies” that illegally encroached on the legislative powers of the National Assembly.
Among the contentious alterations identified was Section 29 (1 ) of the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, where reporting thresholds were lowered in the gazetted version from N50 million to N25 million for individuals and from N250 million to N100 million for companies, contrary to what was passed by the legislature.
The committee also flagged the introduction of new subsections 41( 8 ) and 41(9) in the gazetted Act, mandating taxpayers to deposit 20 per cent of disputed tax amounts before appealing decisions of the Tax Appeal Tribunal—provisions which, it said, were absent from the authentic version passed by the National Assembly.
Other discrepancies include expanded enforcement powers under Section 64, granting tax authorities powers of arrest and asset sale without court orders; alterations to the definition of federal taxes under Section 3(1)(b), which removed petroleum income tax and VAT; and changes to Section 39(3), mandating tax computations for petroleum operations in US dollars instead of the currency of transaction.
In the National Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, the committee observed that oversight provisions empowering the National Assembly to summon officials and demand quarterly and annual reports were deleted in the gazetted version, a move it described as a violation of the doctrine of checks and balances.
Given the “anomalies, illegalities and impunity” uncovered, the committee said the evidence so far warranted a deeper investigation to ensure accountability for what it described as an affront against the legislature and Nigeria’s democracy.
yarimo: Eze finishing of agulu village Mr peter obi finished himself politically going to ADC that is already Made up by ATIKU and ameachi, now the agulu kindergarten politician is confused SDP ko social media ni
Is this the same Atiku who rescued your kindergarten politician in 2019, years after his attempt to be Anambra godfather and master planner like Tinubu is for Lagos, failed woefully
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
They want him to divide ADC votes as he did in 2023 to help Tinubu get his own turn to continue APC extreme poverty shege with worsening corruption and insecurity as well as increasing national debt.
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
yaroyaro619: Anywhere Peter Obi goes we go. Obi is our Messiah. His wish is our command
Yes o.
Was that not how Tinubu and APC fraudulently packaged his 2011 expired Buhari as messiah four years later?
How has our country become better in the last 11 years of APC extreme poverty shege of palliative sharing policy, compared with the 16 years of PDP widespread prosperity from deregulation and privatisation policies
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.

HacheNoire: We talking about a major mismanagement, fraud, incompetence, and looting, and you here talking about Tinubu.
Where did that come out from?
It comes from detty, waterless Lagos State where the worst mismanagement, fraud, incompetence and looting has been going on since 1999 by APC progreThieves.
jiggyman: Have the British apologised to us for slave trading? Eh onuku
Is this how you apologise to people who sell their stuff to you for what they consider fair value
anonimi: The often cited biography titled Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker, authored by Nigerian historian Oladipo Yemitan, paints her views regarding slave trading.
On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.
— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'
Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".
HacheNoire: Nevertheless, Oyo state needs change. Makinde has looted the mind, body and soul of that state.
Even if fact must be said, the next governor won’t be able to reverse the damage Makinde has done in 8 years.
By actual feasibility study, it will take Oyo state 31 years to get reverse the mess Makinde has created.
What has Tinubu looted in addition to the mind, body and soul of Lagos State, since he has failed in 27 years of his TAX monster plan to employ as many teachers as Makinde has done in just five years?
Do you know? Do you have any clue

You are definitely right that the incumbent governor is not wise at all, unlike the Pẹnkẹlẹmẹs minister who confirmed that Fashola is not a propagandist liar, with his 6 months electricity promised 11 years ago.
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.

Free daily bread since Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC are balablu olodos who don’t know how to create jobs promised, unlike PDP politicians of widespread prosperity.
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.

Maxymilliano: The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him. According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.

At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

Three decades after Rangers teenager Igeniwari George was shot dead, leaving an FA Cup match in Ibadan, his story remains unfinished
September 13, 2025
The questions that never found answers Who fired the shot?
Was it an angry fan outside the ground? A misfired warning shot from police? A stray weapon from the melee? Thirty years on, there is no official clarity.
No transparent investigation has been published. No judicial inquiry has laid out the facts. The George family, and Nigerian football, have lived with deafening silence.
This absence of closure is more than painful; it is systemic. It reflects how Nigerian sport has often swept its darkest nights under the rug.
When asked about whether there were any official explanations or inquiries opened, Alari’s response was; “Till this moment, we never got an official explanation; nothing from the NFA (NFF) as they were formerly called, nothing from the league body. If it was a stray bullet from the police trying to restore order and protect the players, or if it were an overzealous Stores fan.”
Never see anything good in his country, people or government, as long as it is not PDP initiated.
Every public action must be condemned, whether good or bad, with no alternate solution proffered.

Nice to see you didn’t see any propaganda lie to accuse me of.
Did your painful cries affect your vision, such that you could not see the alternative solution in the comments?
Moreover, if you are not the irredeemable pessimist here then you should show one example of Tinubu and APC seeing anything good about Nigeria during the 16 years of widespread prosperity from PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies.

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.
Are you talking about the same Tinubu who sabotaged 200 million Nigerians with his fraudulent packaging of his expired Buhari as APC change messiah four years later?

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.
The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.
“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”
Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”
Vision101: Nigerians asked for low prices, called government names and derided the president for high prices.
What else do you want the government to do.
Ensure that prices don’t go up again when the impact of unsustainable import waivers expire, and farmers have moved on to more profitable activities, including politics.
When the prices of food was soaring, people like you were lamenting, now it's declining, you're complaining and predicting doom, for the country. I fear una, I no run.
The solution framework is there in his OP, extracted below.
What made you not read to the end of the post
TechToyin: Bottom line: The problem is not high prices or low prices. The real problem is unstable prices. If Nigeria does not protect farmers now, today’s cheap food will become tomorrow’s food crisis.
