AK481: How come nobody highlighted this fraud in the new bill when it was being passed?
Did they hide it from the public ?

If ebilokan was able to cage 20 million smart Lagosians with his tax & loot master plan for 26 years, why would he change the winning formula for 200 million Nigerians?
Meanwhile, APC shege beat goes on, 10 years after ebilokan used his expired northerner Buhari to make his fellow southerner Jonathan a one term president.
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.

He doesn’t need a job to earn a living in dignity, as promised by APC progreThieves 10 years ago, and reinforced by ebilokan two years ago before he was allowed to hit the ground running aimlessly and cluelessly.
Glimpsetv: 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.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
tonesky: Imagine this one talking? What goes around comes around?
This tribalist that said Igbos would never vote in Lagos again? I could as well say that Tinubu was against Jonathan in 2015 because he was from the Old Eastern Region. Tinubu left Nnamdi Kanu in prison because he's an Igbo man.
You dey mind ebilokan and his labour in vain attempt to gaslight us into tribal hatred.
Is it not his Lagos State government that is changing Igbo and south south street names to Yoruba names?
Ebilokan doesn’t care about any southerners. He just wants everything to himself while we all endure the pain and suffering of his incompetence, corruption and cluelessness.
Why should we let him continue to get away with this

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....
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.
DMerciful: Look at Onanuga pushing tribalism at that level. Southerners are suffering but he is making it look like only Northerners wants Tinubu out.
Why always tribalism?
When a politician is as corrupt, clueless and incompetent as ebilokan is, then he uses tribalism to gain votes and sympathy from his supporters who are Stockholm syndrome afflicted.
Should we let him continue APC shege that he fraudulently sold as change in order to replace his fellow southerner Jonathan with a northerner Buhari who he called expired in 2011

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.
tctrills: If you delay, someone else will eat the Hippo. I would rather be the someone else.
Also, rather than commenting on Nairaland, what is preventing you from going to Adamawa to establish the Hippo reserve? You want someone else to do it while you post on nairaland.
Posting on nairaland is to create widespread awareness about our environmental priorities until enough of us appreciate the issues well enough to form a critical mass to drive sustainable solutions such as the marine ecosystem reserve.
Softmirror: All this guys are just trying to use reverse psychology to campaign for Tinubu just like Kwankwaso recently did which afterwards he said he will remain in NNPP but work for Tinubu.
Was ebilokan using reverse psychology to gaslight the Igbo people below?
Abi he and Sanwo Olu are using reverse psychology in changing Igbo street names!?
Maybe Oba Akiolu used reverse psychology to threaten Igbo people with genocide in 2015?

Will he use rigging to win reelection with Yorubalokan BATists alone, since south south people will remember how he made their son Jonathan a one term president in favour of clueless northerner Buhari
Yesterday’s men of power who are desperately seeking relevance and return to power.
200 million Nigerians are desperately seeking a return to PDP prosperity era of deregulation and privatisation capitalism policies.
Was ebilokan seeking relevance and power when he made his 2011 expired northerner the APC change messiah to replace his fellow southerner Jonathan, which plunged us into shege promax?
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
Goodlady: This one too. Yes we are hungry and we have been on hunger mode since you were a minister.
Why is Nigeria deprived of genuine leaders? All these ones are pained appointment losers after 2023 elections.
Our country is deprived of genuine leaders because we don’t have genuine people from among whom leaders can emerge.
Moreover the few people who are genuine don’t want to work on enlightening everyone around them and beyond until they are the dominant group.

How will this help us to get out of the mess of extreme poverty that has exacerbated in the past decade of APC progreThieves?

anonimi: The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience
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.
Alphajunkee: Nigerians are usually very short sighted. One of the reasons it will be hard for this country to change.
No long term planning especially from the leaders
Are the leaders looters foreigners? Or they are allowed to emerge from among us into leadership positions in the private sectors as well as in the local, state and federal governments in either the legislative or executive branch
How are you working with others to make us think about the future and the impact of our actions on society from different perspectives?
ogascomax: Na so. It's only in Yoruba land that is called Southern Nigeria. No need for saying presidency must come to the South. It should be it should come no the West. You hardly read of South South or South East appointment.
Is Jonathan not from South South? Is he not the one he replaced with a clueless northerner in 2015?
The south east doesn’t even count for ebilokan, even though they indirectly voted 100% for him in 2023!.

Of course you are right about that since ebilokan made his fellow southerner Jonathan into a clueless and incapable civilian one term president, that he replaced with a strongman and former military dictator.

Unfortunately, his 26 years master plan in Lagos has only squeezed IGR out of the masses without matching improvements in government services and utilities from adequate number of well paid civil servants
A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.
Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.
The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.
'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.
"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.
"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.
He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.
''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.
''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.
''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.
The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.
We believed the propaganda lies that ebilokan told us then, just as we believed the lies that he told us in 2015 when he used an incompetent and expired northerner Buhari to replace his fellow southerner Jonathan as a one term president.

April 23, 2023
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.

Soludo and Alex Otti uses Made in Nigeria cars by Innoson motors.
But tinubu is telling Nigerians to patronise Nigeria made goods but baba is using bullet proof escalade and all the cars in his convoy are Toyota products.

Ebilokan is a terrible example of how a leader should be.
He is a hypocrite and not a leader. A propagandist liar who says what he has no intention of doing.
chisomkachy: Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.
The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.
Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

NLCreator666: Lagos Resident Laments Economic Hardship, Hunger Under Tinubu, Confesses To Beating Elderly People, Others To Make Tinubu President
A Lagos state resident has lamented his inability to get petroleum despite beating people including the elderly to vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
In a video posted on social media, he narrated how life had been hard for him despite all he did to ensure Tinubu became Nigeria’s President.
He said, “We wanted to buy fuel but we have been unable to get. They even beat us at the petroleum station. I was among those that beat people at Idi-Oro.
“We went from house to house, asking people to vote for you (referring to Tinubu). You emerged as the President and now you are destroying our lives. Getting food to eat is difficult for us.”
He noted that despite the hardship, different agencies in the state have kept milking them through taxation.
"I voted for Jagaban, I was among those that flogged people we refused to vote Tinubu at Idi-oro. We went from House to House attacking people who didn't vote for Jagaban, Today I am regretting”.
He said, “We are suffering in Nigeria, we have become lazy even in our own father’s land. We are drivers and that’s how we survive. LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Agency), VIO (Vehicle Inspection Office) all collect money from us. Please Tinubu, do something about this hardship.
“We are the same people that beat up others so you could become the President. Some of them people we beat were our father’s mates, but we beat them up. We did that just because of you so you could become the President, and we kept saying it was our turn.
“Look at it now, the outcome is suffering, we cannot even buy rice again. You cannot buy N1000 food and be okay. I bought food of N1200 today and my kids have not eaten at home.”
He also expressed worry that he would be beaten for the comments he was making about Tinubu.
“I know that what I have said now, they will still come to beat me at home. I know that for sure,” he said.
