Ikaeniyan0: Is there ever a point in time in Nigeria poverty rate is not increasing?
Wale Edun has the answer to this question.
Will you listen to him, or will you argue with him?
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
Will he not vote for APC shege to continue after receiving daily bread palliative instead of promised jobs for earning a living in dignity
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.

Image123: Tinubu is happy and i am also very happy to see you all in disarray.
Even when these fellows quarrel with their wives and girlfriends, it is APC. APC is so powerful and omnipresent but they claim that the same APC will lose woefully and is jittery. They need to up this game of jokes.
Birds of a feather flock together indeed. Is Bourdillon the base of the flock
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.
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.
Cj4charles: Automatically turning middle class men to poor & the already poor to die😁😁😁😁. Nigeria have never had it this bad since I was born
That is the only thing that makes ebilokan happy.

How did APC’s promised change become a change of promise into shege promax?
Buhari scammed us for eight years, after ebilokan made his expired northerner president to replace his fellow southerner Jonathan. Why should we let ebilokan do the same thing to us
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.
However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.
On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.
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.
King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.
On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.
Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.
“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/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.
AMINDA: Fashola remains one of the few leaders with Omuluabi ethos remaining in the Southwest. Tinubu has labelled the rest as betrayers.
The Yorubas should be careful not to hinge their entire political and socio-cultural future on the inordinate selfish ambition of one man.

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.
Dtruthspeaker: God does not belong to the Jews alone as proven by the fact that there was nothing like Jew when He picked the man and family He wanted to use to work with.
So I subscribe to Him and His Commandments and they are reasonable, so why would I not eat my offering when I cannot travel to Akronpong to drop it?
And why do you people talk like you have no sense? In those days were there oil workers, bankers, mechanics etc?
Even in 1980 agriculture was the main stay of this country.
See, we get it, you are an atheist, so hating and disregarding God is your purpose in life but the most important thing is that no one is forcing you to pay tithes, so you can continue to walk your way. It is up to your Maker to judge you, but e go bad for you well well if God Who chose Abraham is the one in charge
Where did I say that anyone is forcing me to do anything?
Not everyone was a farmer when the law of EATING their tithes was made, since they could sell their farm produce for money and buy alcohol etc to feast on when they get to the point where tithes are meant to be eaten by the people themselves.
What % of the world in China, India, Japan and other Asian countries are not relating with the Unknown God in the Abrahamic monotheistic religions
Ebilokan and APC desperation is really real o. They are doing everything possible to keep us in their shege bondage of 10 years, instead of the change promised.
Change that was promised when ebilokan made his fellow southerner Jonathan a one term president and replaced him with a northerner who he called expired in 2011.
How can we all work together to restore our glory days of deregulation and privatisation capitalism PDP politicians?

paxonel: I don't know what people are still doing in churches in Africa. Anytime you find yourself in church you sell your birth-right and dignity to pastors for nothing.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem(Church building or Temple), worship the Father.
If you stay in your house and worship your God quietly who will exploit you with tithing?
In the Uk, nobody send church. Infact, pastors are begging people to come!
Pastors are so poor in the Uk, yet they are self sufficient. But in Nigeria in the name of fear of poverty, one pastor go dey fly private jet, buy exotic cars and show up with flamboyant lifestyle, yet they are not working.
They will never be self sufficient
All our industries in Alausa have closed down, and their warehouses have been converted to churches. Very faulty societal ideology

The Jewish God.
Does your own tribe’s Unknown God require you EAT tithes of your agricultural produce also?
Should we calm down because ebilokan is finally ready to deliver his own promise of crashing petrol price below its January 2023 level?

fuckJones: (A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors).
During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.
Joseph stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ?
Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Do you see the number of handle mop following obi as if he is a seat? what of the one following dino malaye?
Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.
Putinofrussia: For the 8 years that Tinubu will be President,a lot of ordinary Nigerians not politicians will become very wealthy especially if you make Nigeria very proud.
Kudos to the man of the people.
A lot of ordinary Nigerians like these Yorubalokan BATists who are getting daily bread palliative instead of promised jobs to earn a living in dignity?

This is a religious issue but it is connected with politics since they have a symbiotic relationship even in traditional societies where monarchy is intertwined with religion.
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
It is nairaland comments like this one that helped me confirm my own thoughts on the obsolescence of the tithe law, several years ago.
They triggered my curiosity and with the availability of Google search results I was saved from the yoke of guilt trapping by gods of men who are ravenous charlatans in cassocks.
The obsolete Jewish tithing laws are far from the practice of Christians today. They are closer to the bazaar festival of Catholics.
Deuteronomy 14
22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Etimemy: Some set idiots will say Tinubu is transforming economy that you don't expect immediately prosperous state economy until when is like four years. But for them they never eat for like two days now.
Only those who are too far from Isalẹ Eko suffer hunger. Yorubalokan BATists are getting daily bread palliative instead of promised jobs to earn a living in dignity.

JOACHINpedro: I won't pity any couple that gives birth to 3+ children without a complementary source of livelihood for them.
I have been preaching against bringing innocent humans to this world to suffer and some persons are saying "ọbụ chukwu na azụ ụmụ" with active joysticks and vaginas.
Unfortunately your preaching against having many children is not enough.
You need to preach for better governance that keeps everyone too busy to be fcvking around making babies. This means you advocate for your commonwealth to be used for employing well paid civil servants who will make basic services and utilities available for everyone.
This will create the environment for private businesses to thrive and employ even more workers.
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.
Too many rumours about defecting politicians these days make it difficult to believe anything until it happens.
Has Kwankwaso defected to APC after all the rumours about Gandollar resignation to make space for him?
Did we not see rumours of Adeleke defecting to APC in Osun?
What happened to Diri’s defection rumours in Bayelsa?
zero8zero: Jun 29 The majority of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly have endorsed the decision of Governor Douye Diri to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Presently, there are 19 members of the PDP in the 24-man legislature while the opposition has five members.
Sources disclosed to Sunday Sun that as part of his consultation with stakeholders towards his defection plans, Diri had told the Speaker, Rt Hon Abraham Ngobere, to sample the opinion of his colleagues.
Diri’s earlier consultation with the National Assembly caucus was not too fruitful, as the House caucus rejected the move.
Sources said Hon Fred Agbedi (Sagbama/ Ekeremor) is spearheading the rejection because the defection to APC would mean him (Agbedi) being subjected to the political leadership of the Minister of State for Oil, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri.
The dissenting voices from the National Assembly notwithstanding, Diri, who travelled with Ngobere to France recently, mandated the Speaker to get the views about his defection from his colleagues.
Sources told Sunday Sun that at the meeting convened recently by Ngobere at his residence to discuss the defection to the APC, the majority of the lawmakers endorsed the defection, arguing that it was in the best interest of the state and timely too.
According to some of them who spoke, the PDP is in crisis, and it can no longer guarantee their political future.
However, three of the 19 lawmakers were said to have rejected the move, arguing that it was not the right time.
Two of those who rejected the move were said to be from Sagbama Local Government, while the third lawmaker is from Kolokuma/ Opokuma.
A member of the House confirmed that the meeting took place and also confirmed that the majority of them have endorsed the decision of the governor to defect to the APC.
“Yes, the Speaker has called us and we have met. The truth is that we are moving. We have given our consent to the governor.
It is no longer a secret that we are leaving PDP.‘’
The Chief of Staff to the Speaker, Mr Domo Adams, said he was not aware of such a meeting. According to him, he was just hearing about such a meeting for the first time.
Also, the House Committee Chairman on Information, Hon Wisdom Fafi, when asked about the meeting where the state lawmakers endorsed the defection to APC, said he was not aware.
RenoOkriTheGoat: Another cheap propaganda meant to deceive gullible people.
Very cheap propaganda, I agree with you sir.
Even ebilokan disagrees with the IMF, since he knows how much damage he has inflicted on 200 million Nigerians since 2015.
Will this IMF story deceive us again and prevent us from returning our country to its glory days of PDP deregulation and privatisation capitalism policies? Policies that gave us 16 years of economic prosperity amidst high employment productivity!!!

2mch: Nigeria is not different. Before the formation of Nigeria, all groups came together to agree. Which is why the regional system of Government was formed. No where government exists in the world that the rights of the indegenes are not respected.
Nigeria is a country made up of different nations and empires coming together to form a country. You cannot wake up one day and invalidate that. Except you don’t have value for your life. It will never work, not now. Not ever. Nigeria is even worse than the US in this regard. We are very very very different culturally and historically.

Or maybe he did it when he packaged a clueless and expired northerner to make his fellow southerner Jonathan a one term president?
Perhaps his Lagos master plan for renaming Igbo streets and bus stops is the latest example of his own unification agenda? His 26 years old lootocracy master plan to squeeze out IGR from the masses for 80 times increase in budget but no improvement in government services and public utilities like water supply.

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.

Is this what you say about Yoruba people thriving abroad and even being elected to office there
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.
