shortgun: We warned Nigerians about APC but many were blinded by ethnicity and empty promises. Today, even people in APC know they were all scammed back then. They claimed Jonathan was corrupt yet the economy was booming and Nigerians were progressing.
Even ebilokan's finance minister confessed as much. APC really did us bad thing, wlahi.
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
magoo10: Tinubu would have done worst if his predecessor was from another party.he would have heaped all the blames of his failures on him
Tinubu and buhari are two disasters to have happened to Nigeria.
How did smart Nigerians allow ebilokan to scam us so well with his 2011 expired northerner to replace a southerner like Jonathan? Na which kind juju be that
Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
Oscarchims: Those that moved theirs via bank wire how far egbon... So far you have no reasonable effect on people like Yahaya Bello, believe me. You are just whining urself
Nothing is likely to happen to that white lizard of Lokoja, if he mends his ways with the hierachy of Oshiomole's Association of Past Criminals, APC.
Can you believe that corruption is worse under the pretentious saints of integriThief
socialmediaman: The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.
There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.
Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.
In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.
There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.
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.
TimeManager: On his part, another APC chieftain and associate of Buhari, Osita Okechukwu, said the former SGF should be excused due to his limited knowledge of the party’s early formation.
“There is no need for controversy because my friend Boss Mustapha should be excused—he was not with us in 2003 when Buhari began the presidential race. He was in the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and did not know the waters that passed under the realpolitik bridge. This is why he relied only on mathematical calculations in 2015, not on realpolitik,” he said
Is this the realpolitik that Atiku failed to play in the same 2003, when he could have made Obasanjo a one term president, based on northern pressure?
Atiku’s generosity helped Obasanjo retain his job as president. Atiku would have won easily with his cosmopolitan outlook and greater national acceptance than Buhari, who was recruited into the race by northerners when Atiku refused their overtures.
Is it not sad that Obasanjo has failed to reciprocate the kind gesture of PDP that made him president from Abacha’s prison? He tore his membership card and joined ebilokan to replace southerner Jonathan with a clueless northerner, who has destroyed the prosperity that PDP handed over to him.
‘How Atiku saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president’‘
A new book has revealed how former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, saved ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president in 1999.
According to the new book, entitled ‘’Too Good to Die: Third Term and the Myth of the Indispensable Man in Africa,’ Atiku made all his resources available for Obasanjo’s presidential campaign.
The book, written by former chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, and Ayisha Osori, author of ‘’Love Does Not Win Elections,” also revealed how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 1999 election.
Quoting an account from Atiku, the authors said the trio of Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma and Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted PDP to adopt Obasanjo as their presidential candidate “because they considered him the best person for the job.”
“Implicit in their position was their belief that they knew how to manipulate Obasanjo and the fact that Obasanjo did their bidding in 1979. They felt secure that he could be managed again,” the authors wrote.
Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.
“When Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General (Aliyu) Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.
“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.
ManirBK: Hit them very hard please we need peace in this country
What overdose peace are you talking about?
We have had peace and security for the past decade after chasing away clueless, bloody civilian Jonathan and replacing him with strongman, retired military dictator Buhari.
Was this not the winning strategy for APC in 2015, when ebilokan made his olodo northerner president in place of southerner Jonathan? Should it matter that four years earlier, ebilokan called Buhari expired
Firefire: I am really worried about the increasing death toll...
Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”
Metrix147: The YPP leader noted that while defections are a normal part of democracy, only those who contributed meaningfully to the party’s success can be considered losses.
The YPP come&raid leader looter must be talking about the zero principles democracy we have in extreme poverty Africa, where tribalism and zoning plus rotation to avoid marginalisation reign.
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.
If we are only talking about transfers in neocolonialist countries’ football leagues, without any interest in the transfer market of our national football league, then why are we complaining about Trump treating us like the extreme poverty paupers that we collectively are
Chibuezem: Whites are not superior, they are simply wiser than the black man. They've mastered the art of domination, dominating other men and environment because of how harsh their own was.
Blacks where in a comfortable environment with their own language, culture and educational system which was inferior to the white man because of the absence of adversity or a low level of it in Africa . Adversity spurs creativity & innovation
However given the circumstance of most African countries, it's only a matter of time before we usher the new world into a new phase, starting from Nigeria a new age will birth forth, one where the black man will be manifest new technologies, cultures, songs etc. Due to how difficult it is to survive in this continent.
Semantics and hair splitting. If you are wise, in what position will you be compared with the unwise person? Superior or inferior?
If time passes but one is not doing enough to make progress, then how will the passage of time alone by itself result in any meaningful improvement in your situation
Freestainworld: This is what a typical white man wants, to claim superiority over a black man, the just summerized everything
If the white people are not working hard to make their countries prosperous, safe, law abiding with basic freedoms, government services and public utilities, then how would they claim superiority over us blacks?
If they are not superior then why are we praying and fasting for voluntary slavery japa to make their oyinbo countries even better?
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.

Instead of making noise about how rich people treat us paupers, should we not work hard and smart as a country, continent and race to be strong, rich and well behaved in law abiding societies collectively.
TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.

Agbero Poverty Congress, APC is relying on the Edo abracadabra election rigging but they will fail in Osun where the people are solidly behind the governor who in just two years has done so well to shame the poor performance of APC for 12 years.
muhammaduyusufu: The defectors from across the state, mainly supporters of Dr Ogunbiyi, since he was in the PDP, were led by Alhaji Adebayo Adeniran to show solidarity for Ogunbiyi’s aspiration.
The defection and declaration event, which took place simultaneously at the APC Secretariat, Osogbo on Thursday, Adeniran said they have been with Ogunbiyi since his days in the PDP, saying rather than run to a strange place (ADC), the APC offers a better platform.
“We are from all over the state. We have been Dr Akin Ogunbiyi’s supporters from his days in the PDP and now, we cannot remain orphans but join a better platform”, he said.
When did this Ogunbiyi loser return to PDP, to warrant this propaganda about his remnant supporters

Akin Ogunbiyi Joins APC
The governorship candidate of the Accord Party in the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi has concluded plans to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to reports, Ogunbiyi will officially decamp to the opposition party in the state on Wednesday, July 19.
MatrixCircle: This is what you get when freinds know you didn't win the Presidential election but stolen from Peter Obi .
The arrows have started flying left and right. The reason none of this politicians respect the present government. The election was rigged in daylight robbery.
Nothing was stolen from the leader looter of ethnoreligious bigots who made ebilokan’s dream of continuing APC shege easier.
They voted 100% in the five SE states for ebilokan indirectly, after Wike kicked Obi out of PDP to divide the party’s votes. Was that not how Obi’s Fidelity Bank boy kicked him out of APGA when he tried and failed to be the local godfather
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.
RhinoChest: This vindictive man is doing all these because he wasn’t given the ministerial position.
Where was his voice during Buhari’s mismanagement?
Vindictive power grabber!! You won’t have it your way.
Women in his state were parading naked to stop the endless killings in his state and for 8 years, he didn’t do anything about it. Nigerians will never forget!!!!
El Rufai was in the same place that ebilokan was during Buhari’s mismanagement.
If he didn’t do anything about insecurity in his state then why did ebilokan delegate questions to him and others since the Lagos bullionaire is clueless about governance even though he is a brilliant rogue of the people’s taxes?
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”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
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.
SmartPolician: Nasir El-Rufai is the most intelligent politician from northern Nigeria among the active ones.
Is this what made ebilokan borrow from his intelligence to answer questions in Chatham House that the Lagos magician was clueless about

They have no clue how to govern. They only know how to remove subsidy, increase taxes and take more loans to steal, loot and rob.
How do we bring back the good old days of PDP deregulation and privatisation capitalism, when we had widespread prosperity and high employment productivity? The party of Obasanjo and Atiku that deregulated the telecom industry more than two decades ago.

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.
If politicians are the same everywhere, then why are we running away from our own country to japa and make oyinbo countries better than our own?
Are oyinbo leaders not also politicians who are allowed to emerge from among the people, like we allow our own politicians to equally emerge from among us?
So what do you think is the difference between our two societies

Several foreign news agencies have exposed the corruption for long. But the agency which was here as Kyari and co were lying to Nigerians on the refineries have only just uncovered what has been happening. Una well done.
Not only foreign news agencies, even the senate has exposed the corruption now but the NNPC Ogas at the top are flying private jets to Kigali instead of being remorseful and accountable.
Buhari, ebilokan and APC have made corruption worse than the PDP era despite their vuvuzela propaganda noise about corruption fighting.
No wonder Oshiomole revealed that the party is the Assembly of Past Criminals, APC where sins are forgiven as long as one is loyal to the Ogas at the top.

You are very right about the north central and Atiku. Even Ortom recognised Atiku’s cosmopolitan attitude in the past.
Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.
The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.
He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.
He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.
He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.
Demurray: When it was the turn of a norther to produce the presidency, northern elders/ governor forum make the decision not incumbent president.
My comment doesn't portrays Obasanjo as a northerner. Please try to comprehend my comments
Obasanjo made Yar’Adua president, just like ebilokan made Buhari president in 2015 and then used Yorubalokan to ask for his own turn in 2023.
Obasanjo made Yar’Adua president in 2007, with Iwuruwuru INEC. The election was challenged by Buhari and Atiku at the SCON, with Onnoghen and two other judges’ minority opinion annulling the results.

Are you already pained by the death of people in stampedes, fighting for food because ebilokan and APC have failed to deliver on promised jobs and prosperity?
Omooba77: The association, in a statement on Sunday by the NAS Capn, Dr. Joseph Oteri, said these needless deaths, a grim reflection of the desperation gripping many Nigerians, underscore the rising hunger and economic hardship that has engulfed the nation.
The National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) says it is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of over 60 lives in Oyo, Anambra, and Abuja during recent palliative distribution stampedes.
The association, in a statement on Sunday by the NAS Capn, Dr. Joseph Oteri, said these needless deaths, a grim reflection of the desperation gripping many Nigerians, underscore the rising hunger and economic hardship that has engulfed the nation.
“While we commend the government's effort to alleviate the plight of vulnerable citizens through palliatives, it is evident that these measures have been marred by inadequate planning, poor coordination, and lack of accountability,” it said.
According to the group, the chaotic scenes that led to the fatal incidents are an “indictment of the systemic failure to address the root causes of hunger and poverty”.
The group noted that rising hunger in Nigeria is a national emergency that demands urgent action.
“Failure to act decisively will deepen the crisis, with devastating social, economic, and political consequences,” it said.
“We mourn with the families of the deceased and demand that the government ensures accountability for this avoidable tragedy. Hunger should never be a death sentence in a country blessed with abundant resources.”
“It is time to rise to the challenge of ensuring that every Nigerian can live with dignity, free from the scourge of poverty and hunger,” it added.
Therefore, the association called on all levels of government to urgently prioritize sustainable solutions to the hunger crisis.
It said, “Palliatives must reach the intended beneficiaries without endangering lives. Transparent and well-organised systems, with the involvement of community leaders and credible NGOs, should be put in place to avoid chaotic distributions.
“Beyond temporary relief measures, the government must develop long-term strategies to enhance food production, support local farmers, and stabilize food prices.
“Programmes aimed at addressing the needs of the most vulnerable must be scaled up. Access to affordable healthcare, education, and social safety nets is critical to lifting millions out of poverty.
“Policies that create jobs and enhance income-generating opportunities should be fast-tracked to reduce dependency on palliatives.”
The association noted that two of its chapters in Edo State (Area 3) recently had successful palliative programmes, during which over 2,000 underprivileged persons were fed.
It added that one of the key components of the programme was orderliness.
Bimpe29: Louder please Mr Samuel Ortom. It is the turn of Southern Nigeria until 2031.

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
