SlavaUkraini: "Poverty has reduced below more than 50%. That’s what so many people have seen that this government is actually working, and the reforms are beginning to bring results.
“Part of the results is what I just told you now that food inflation has passed and people are now happy, the workers, especially in the state and the federal now receive their salary.
Who made this country the capital of extreme poverty, if not the expired Buhari that Tinubu packaged as APC change messiah?
How has poverty reduced to the level that we had in 2015 under PDP’s deregulation and privatisation agenda of widespread prosperity with high employment
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
ceejay80s: Northern cabals are the ones destroying this country
Really? Wow 🤩
What makes the ayederu man in Aso Rock a northerner?
When did he become a northerner? Did he become a northerner in 2011 when he threw his fellow Yoruba woman under the cow 🐄 to make a northerner HoR Speaker? Or did he become a northerner much later

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
The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

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....
However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.
Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.
kolafolabi: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: unless Atiku steps down, Peter Obi cannot win the ADC presidential primary. That’s the plain truth.
Who stepped down for Buhari and Tinubu in 2015 and 2023 for them to win APC primaries unopposed
slivertongue: Only PO and Atiku know the pathway regardless of the drama. Nigeria needs to be rejigged.
Indeed we need to work together on getting this country back to PDP’s deregulation and privatisation agenda that gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity and high employment productivity.
We know those who laid the groundwork for this deregulation and privatisation prosperity. We know them.
Why and how did we allow Tinubu to destroy all this goodness in 2015, by packaging his expired Buhari of four years earlier as APC change messiah?
What has changed in the last decade except for worse extreme poverty, corruption, insecurity etc? What else has changed?

saintokwuluora: Tinubu heard of it and ran away to France, even there he has not slept since then. Onanuga , Keyamo and others have been struggling to convince there's no problem but the wizard knows his craft is over, it's just for him to handover to Peter Obi on May 29, 2027.
I pray Tinubu survives the humiliation as he needs to repent ASAP.
If Obi survived the humiliation of being kicked out of APGA by Obiano who made him a political IDP, then why won’t Obi survive another humiliation in his lifetime
Can you please remind us who rescued Obi from his IDP camp and resuscitated his dead political career? Could this person be Atiku in 2019?
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.
olulove: It's Just a pity, and he's wants to become the Governor of a state...
Plenty Lamba! God have mercy upon us
If Fashola is still well respected as a former governor and former minister despite his lack of achievements, then why not penkelemess
Do you think that we are in this mess because of our tribalistic politics of rotation and zoning for offices in the local, state and federal governments either in the legislative or executive branch?
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.
We were told that subsidies were the reason Nigeria’s economy was not growing and why there were no developmental projects or good hospitals. Since the subsidy was removed, the economy has nosedived, there are still no developmental projects, and hospitals are still bad.
Tinubu, where is the money saved from subsidy removal?
The money is being delivered to Bourdillon in bullion vans to bribe politicians and buy votes for his perpetual power grab.
If his TAX monster plan has kept 20 million Lagosians in bondage for the past 27 years then it will be used for 200 million Nigerians too.
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.
BondRiv: The states are not properly utilising the funds they are getting. Rivers State is an example, but we will fix that problem in 2027.
Will you fix the problem in the same way that 200 million people fixed problems of Nigeria in 2015- by jumping from PDP frying pan into APC fire of extreme poverty shege that was fraudulently sold as better change
stokfrick: It's not only subsidy that's killing Nigeria, unnecessary and wasteful spending is also killing nigeria. Of what use is the coastal road that runs into trillions of naira? This is not a necessity to the country right now, we have enough bad roads, add high quality to them and maintain them.
But no! They're looking for a way to embezzle public funds. Is coastal road our pressing issue?
What is the point of focusing on roads when we don’t have adequate electricity and water, while we are one of the countries with the highest number of children out of school and extreme poverty paupers
festacman: Subsidy has been removed and they said state governors are getting more money. However, the reality is that our roads are still bad, our healthcare delivery hasn't improved and there is no improvement in our infrastructure.
Nothing has changed, really. Yet we pay more for fuel.
Something has changed big time sir.
Tinubu and APC have more money to bribe politicians and buy votes for their eternal grabbing of power.
What Obasanjo failed to get through Ghana must go bags bribes to NASS members in 2007, Tinubu is set to get it and become the Paul Biya of Nigeria.
Kalulu44: So I now have a promise to fulfill, so you skip the part on how she fail to fulfill her own promise a year ago and how she has refused saying what happened on that day after a year
Nevertheless you invited her with a promise and she fulfilled her part, so why not just give her what she earned
Kalulu44: There’s this girl I met on the 10th of September 2024. Which was on my birthday. We got talking and a friendship developed. From that September till December, we hanged out a lot and she came to my place exactly 5 times. Let’s I forget, two weeks after the friendship started. I put her on 2k daily allowance and every two days #500 for recharge card. Not forgetting other things I bought for her sometimes. Before most of una and especially the ones wey call themselves redpiller, begin yab me. 2k to me no be anything cus as a bus driver I make over 10k and above daily. . So, in the 5 times she has come to my place. She hasn’t allowed me make love to her apart from touching here and there. I tried all the convincing I can but to no avail. Me no fit force or rape woman, so I always let her be. Then she promised on the 31st night of December 2024, that we’ll get down, but she wants us to book a nice hotel for it. I said no problem, on the D day, after putting every plans in motion. I called her by 6pm and asked how far. She told me she’s getting ready. I said no problem. By 7pm, I called her again and she said she’s on top bike. I noticed it too cus there was vehicular noises here and there. 30 min later I called again and she said she’s about 10 min away from me. That was the last time I heard from her. I called and called, her line was not reachable until it finally went dead. I stayed in that hotel till daybreak heart broken. Bcus I have bought and prepared so many things that will make the night fun. The next day, I packed the few things I can and left for my house. Tried her number severally again but switched off. Then in the evening of 1st January last year which was the next day. A known number called me, and asked if I have seen her cus she hasn’t been home since last night and that she told her she was coming to me. I told the person I last spoke to her 7:30pm last night, that ever since then her phone is switched off. She said they too haven’t seen her or heard from her too. It became something of anger to panic mode to me. I became worried about her. There’s nothing that didn’t run thru out mind that day. Has she been kidnapped, did she had an accident and so many other thoughts. That same babe her friend that called me earlier kept calling me to know how far. Same answer from me. The next two days I couldn’t go to work, panic has set in for me. What if that her friend bring police to my place, cus she said she told her it was me she was coming to meet. Luckily she called me after 3 days. My people, as I am typing this. She hasn’t tell me what transpired that day, even after she left my place this morning after not seeing each other thru out last year. . So after the incident, I didn’t talk to her for a while. Three months later, we started chatting. But she hates me bringing the topic of what went wrong that night of 31st. So I totally stopped bothering her about it. Thru out last year I have been trying to invite her to my place, but it has been one excuses to another till last year ended and we didn’t see eye to eye. So on the 31st night again which was 2 days ago, I teased her again, that shey she know it’s a year we haven’t seen each other. She promised to come see me on the 2nd which is today. And what do I have for her cus she didn’t eat my 1 naira thru out last year. I told her they’re many goodies and that I even have 10k to give her, but on one condition that she should not come to my place and start playing holier than thou attitude for me. I told her we must get down or she should forget about coming. . Like play like play she came truly. After entertaining her, we got down to the main business why I invited her. Luckily for me, she didn’t prove stubborn like before. Not until she said if not for the money I promised her she wouldn’t have come. She said this in the middle of our marathon race. I said within me, me sef know say na im make you come but I go suffer you with that money. . So after every every. She was about to go and asked for the money. I brought out 10k, counted it in her presence and after, did as if I wanted to give her, as she stretched her hand to collect it, I withdrew it back and asked her. Are you a prostitute? She said no nah, and why did I ask? I said cus it’s only prostitute that collect money for sex. She felt embarrassed and asked what is my meaning. I told her since she says she’s not a prostitute, I won’t give her the money but later when she gets home. That if I give her now, then she should take herself to be a prostitute in my sight. I opened my account balance to show her money more than the cash I had with me. I told her to drop her account number, that either this evening or tmrw morning I will transfer the money to her, and at that time it won’t be as if I am paying for sex. . She looked at me for upto 2 min without saying anything and then finally said, if I am sure I will send it to her. I told her I cross my heart that I will do it. She grumbling gave me her account number and say what of transport fare. I said that’s not a problem, I squeeze 1k into her hand and escorted to take bike of #500. It’s been over 3hrs she left, but she has reminded twice not to forget the 10k o. . So guys, I am having double thoughts. Not that I can’t give her the 10k. But another part of me is saying I shouldn’t and use it as pay back for what she did to me a year ago. Still the soft and good heart of me is saying forget pay back, give her the money and let her know you’re bigger than that. . P.S: lets I forget, that her friend that called me the last time about her missing. It seems they have quarrel, so she told me plainly that it was another guy she went to be with for that three days. So all these are part of why I feel revenge in my mind. So guys, what do you think I should do? Give her the money or bullshit her? I have till 12pm tmrw to give her reply.
Give her the 10k you promised her and then cross her out of your life.
Are you even sure that Bisi Akande is not also a Fulani, pretending to be a Yoruba like Tinubu
anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
Nwaokunkpara: Will Tinibus government continue to borrow money if we pay tax
Of course it is Tinubu’s destiny to borrow money even when we are paying more taxes so he can bribe politicians and buy votes to keep himself in power for eternity like Cameroon’s Biya.
Is he not borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol, even though the Lagos TAX monster planner saved $84 billion from subsidy removal
manuelkel: We can't do anything, it's been that way since existentialism. They can try to be human which they are, but they still have to dance to the political songs.
It's either you come up to the stage and dance or you don't come up to the stage at all.
Is this what ordinary people do in our japa destinations to make them attractive to us, who don’t want to do the work necessary for the sustainable development of our own country
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.
fatosky1: Fayose is just trying to leak Tinubu's ass. The money was not given from personal purse but from Disaster Fund managed by the Federal government. N50 billion was approved but N30b was released. The story behind the withheld balance is not queried.
Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu collected N100 million dollars for land allocated for Dangote. Summary: No politician is to be trusted with money. They stole without conscience and fear of God.
Did the politicians emerge from among the people?
Or did they just drop out of heaven to lead Nigerians who are tribalistic in zoning and rotation arrangements for local, state and federal government positions in the legislative and executive branches
Has Fayose returned the trillions he stole in eight years as Ekiti governor, when he failed to employ workers to make water available to all households, obviously inspired by the failure of the Lagos TAX monster planner in the same domain
It may be a Freudian slip confirming Tinubu’s 3rd term plan for life president, which must be why he is always going to France for coaching.
He wants to be the Paul Biya of Nigeria.
Based on how much he has stolen and how many politicians are joining his party, Tinubu is set to succeed where Obasanjo failed in 2007 with his Ghana must go bags of bribes to NASS members.
Richtaiwo: Those champions of warped, self-contradictory thinking will soon resume their usual pastime of crying in surround sound.
On one hand, they insist, chest out, voice loud, that the defection of a sitting governor to the APC means absolutely nothing. No growth. No momentum. Nothing to see here. Yet, with the very same breath, they will organise a full-blown thanksgiving service when a ward councillor defects to their party. A party whose only stronghold exists on social media timelines and WhatsApp statuses. They will then proceed to set the internet on fire, celebrating the defection as if the Second Coming just occurred.
Unsurprisingly, these same people will cry nonstop for an entire month, chanting that a one-party system is dangerous for the country, speaking as though their own party is not already operating as a one-member, one-platform association.
One can only wonder why they can’t simply return to their historical line of trade, because if grasping the basics of democracy has suddenly become this difficult, then clearly, something has gone terribly, hilariously wrong.
Is this how 200 million Nigerians are crying in surround sound because Tinubu has made APC extreme poverty shege and insecurity worse than Buhari did?
What happened to his promises of crashing petrol price and dollar rate
benardtotti: Nurtw ,agbero tax is everywhere oga ! It has nothing to do with any capone, go to ogun state, oyo, anambra, they all collect daily dues from drivers .
stop this nonsense of always trying to paint lagos black .
Why try to do something that is already done?
How is Lagos not a black, smelly place since Tinubu implemented his TAX monster plan 26 years ago? The plan of eternally increasing tax burden on the masses to bribe politicians and buy votes instead of employing workers to make ordinary water available
