LordBiden: It is much easier to criticize in an opposition. Nigeria is a very difficult country to manage. A leader might have good intentions but with bad advisers. Who would have believed that tinubu would be worse than buhari.
Maybe aso rock demons are at play here.
What has Tinubu done for Lagosians in the past 25 years plus, apart from squeezing out IGR from them to steal, along with the federal allocation and loans received on their behalf?
Anything else he does for them?
Those who believed that he would be better than Buhari need to question not just their own intelligence, but also their own sanity.
The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.
At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.
The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.
Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.
vanbonattel: This is the president that should have solved most of the problems in Nigeria with his hardwork, honesty and transparency. But some powerful forces said no.
Lagos people refused to vote for their former governor, Anambra people voted 99.8% for their own former governor. Performance results doesn't lie.
Ok, let's settle down and suffer like Lagos people did for 8 years. I hope his supporters can survive the T-pain for that long?
Photo-op propaganda and cho cho cho hypocrisy is not the same as CONSISTENT policy direction and government performance.
Does Anambra State have 24/7 electricity supply like Abia state, from Geothermal due to the foundation laid by Pandora Bitter Obi, and continued by his Fidelity Bank godson, Obiano
bennybuhari: “’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.
“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.
“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.
When last did you eat an apple and how much is it in your area?
This is the smallest variety that used to sell for ₦60, but I bought it for ₦350 yesterday.
Why should we lament about apples that are not grown here?
Eat local and grow our Naira. Is this not the advice of hypocrite Pandora Bitter Obi

Are you talking about the hunger that didn’t reset the brain of Edo people
Sadly every day the prices of things keep changing.
Imagine chicken egg is now N300
Catch a ride in Tinubu’s jet, Escalade and yacht where Yorubalokan BATists are guaranteed endless access to eggs for free, in addition to their congo of rice palliative.
nairalanda1: End result of voting in leaders and allowing our leaders to run an economy based on oil and oil alone.
When oil crashed in 2014 , that should have been the chance to run some sane economics.
Apc had a chance to change the paradigm. They failed.Instead they borrowed to keep the facade up. Even the changes they are making now are because there isn't enough money to hide the cracks.
Anyway, we shall see. Right now, the mess is too great..
Are you unaware of how Jonathan and PDP free market economy ensured we had a growing GDP in 2014, with better projections for 2015 despite the falling oil price? The first time that happened in our history.
Are you truly unaware
FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct 15 NOVEMBER 2013
Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.
Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."
While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.
He said that the states had requested for $2bn to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.
Because,this problem started when Nigerians gathered to enthroned a dullard and dethrone a learned sitting president because they were tired and needed a change ..
From that day till today, it's been sorrow upon sorrow.
Tinubu and his tribal Yoruba bigots have achieved their ebilokan dream of Yorubalokan, we should endure to the end of the light at the end of their tunnel.
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.
Bade007: This was 3 years ago ,Omo it's really crazy for how long can Nigerians endure
What were the prices nine years ago when Tinubu led us into APC shege with the help of ITK Obasanjo
citizenisb: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.
“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.
The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.
While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.
“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

What is commendable about the mega looting in Lagos by highlighting the obvious looting by Pandora Bitter Obi's fellow communist LP labourer in charge of Abia treasury?
Can you please educate and enlighten us on what your Stockholm syndrome gloating is about here?
Ojiofor: How can the godfather of thieves lock up another thief? That is the reason T-Pain can't even arrest Yahaya Bello.
Is Buhari also a godfather of thieves? Or why did the incorruptible Abacha associate, who was packaged as a man of integrity, fail to lock Stella Oduah up in his eight years tenure at office
Gistmedia10: As I sat there, I couldn’t help but think that if five Nigerian states could have or build world-class stadiums like the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Nigeria would certainly be capable of hosting a World Cup tournament. The facilities, the passion for football, and the enthusiastic fans would make for an unforgettable event.
Why do we get carried away by physical infrastructure with no thought whatsoever about the services and utilities that make it work in a long lasting way?
How many of the World Cup hosts have the highest number of children out of school and the highest number of extreme poverty paupers? Do they also have epileptic power and water supply?
What of medical facilities and healthcare workers ratio to the population? Are their presidents and VIPs doing medical tourism in other countries
Racoon: If only Nigerians listened. Those who brought this catastrophe upon this nation are the wicked souls who are crying on hardship today but it is too late.
Obasanjo, Femi Falana, Wole Soyinka, Fayemi and pastor Tunde Bakare being the most wicked souls for their leadership roles in bringing this catastrophic shege upon us

What is nice about Stella Oduah roaming free instead of being locked up in jail for all the crimes she committed, according to APC before we gave them the chance to deliver their promised change
smileyoo: so bad, but that's the promised change by the bloom- wielding witchcraft party called APC. Oga Gej warned Nigerians, but majority of the citizens didn't listen nor understood him.
Ehn now. We were bewitched by APC bloom ni o.

I saw Okro of 1,500 and I was shocked.
I have never bought Okro of 500 naira, because it would be a waste. But i saw 1,500 and i was surprised.
Na only God fit help us. [/color]
Can you please share what God did to help Singaporeans, Chinese and South Koreans in a few decades to come back from being basket cases in extreme poverty and deprivation of basic services and utilities, to the glorious heights that they are now
pocohantas: Lmao! I know people used to abandon the head of fishes in the market. I do it. Just tell them to cut off the head. I have never given a thought to what they do with it and I would have guessed it is sold to dog owners. I won't be surprised humans are now eating the leftovers from fastfoods too.
Umaru Dikko reportedly said that we are not starving and not suffering since he has not seen anyone eating from the trash can.
This was the man who military dictator Buhari tried to cage and smuggle back to Nigeria from Britain.
How can this same Buhari have worked for the fulfilment of Dikko’s dream ??
Zeebuy: Only fools expected dangote refinery to reduce price of fuel, and Nigeria seems to have an over-abundance of fools
Are you talking about the fools who swallowed Tinubu's fake promises last year
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.

HarunaWest: We are talking about endemic poverty nationwide and you talking 5th generation gears. You talk like they cost same amount to procure.
We haven't dealt with our hunger warfare, you speaking external warfare. Nigerians' think too highly of themselves. We should accept the fact that we are a third world country. Rich in resources but poor in liquidity.
If we keep lamenting and dont make moves to salvage our country, 100 years from now,nothing will change.
Many thanks for saying this so well. Perhaps if I had seen your comment, I would not have made mine.
MadPolitician: Flooding the Nigerian Airspace with first generation and second generation antique "fighters" and "bombers", when all other countries that started with us are going for the fifth generation war planes, is becoming very irritatingly annoying. These things add to air pollution! All these fanfare for some scrap metals already designated as "monuments" in some western and Asian military museums? We can surely do better!
I think that the Nigerian military has suffered immeasurably, as it constantly focuses on internal insurrectionists. This has led to a situation where the military high command, seem to caliberate her operational standards based on realities associated with internal challenges, and has as a result forgotten to prepare effectively, a more sophisticated and capable military organisation, able to withstand a very dangerous foreign enemy.
I mean, can you fight the Iranians, Russians, Pakistanis, or even the Egyptians, with these wretched relics? Lets not bring the French or Chinese or even Brazilians into it.
It truly takes a mad politician to compare us with Iranians, Russians, Pakistanis or even Egyptians.
Are they all in the same league of highest extreme poverty, highest number of children out of school? Maybe they are suffering from inadequate electricity and water supply
femi4: 7. Even though there is going to be Electronic Collations and Electronic Transmissions (Section 38), there should also be Manual Collations and Manual Transmissions (Section 48) . The Electronically Collated Results would be used to check and verify the manually collated results before they are announced. (Section 51)[b][/b] Thus, the Electronically Collated Results and the Electronically Transmitted Results from each levels of the electoral process, both voting and collation, as well as all the data that are contained inside the BVAS Device, are all going to be playing very important roles in the final results that are declared by the INEC, from now going forward.
Why did Atiku and Obi fail to focus on this issue in their case, instead of focusing on the wild goose chase in Chicago
