greatiyk4u: Even Christian Chairman is confusing himself He acknowledged there is hunger, insecurities and hardship but still claim that Tinubu is trying because he is building roads and also appointed Northerners in his cabinet.... What a wonderful yardstick to measure government performance.....a wonder who will vote Tinubu in North Central apart from maybe Kwara and part of Kogi 2027 is pregnant
How is he building roads when the same roads are worse than when PDP gave us cheap petrol, cheap dollars, less debt, low unemployment and widespread prosperity

anonimi: 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.
Why is the master strategist of propaganda politics paying more subsidy illegally under a different name?
anonimi: NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024
November 26, 2025
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.
This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.
The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.
According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.
dequir: Waoh, your own propaganda style and energy is beyond comparison. Keep it up, we have noticed your increased diligence, and we will surely reward you enormously at the right time.
How much reward in Remi Tinubu's akara empowerment have you received? The empowerment that may be a replacement for her husband's failure to create 50 million jobs promised.
Nigeria’s ‘Biggest Economic Threat’ Is Unemployment, But Data to Guide Policy Missing for 14 Months
Nigeria’s top economic risk for the 2026 economic year is unemployment but the country has not published any official labour statistics to measure its rate since November 2024, FIJ has found.
On Wednesday, the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report identified lack of economic opportunity and unemployment as Nigeria’s leading threat for the 2026 economic year.
The report also identified inadequate public services, economic downturn, inequality, and crime as the next four threats to economic stability in 2026.
Unemployment is serious enough for international observers but the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has not released Nigeria’s Labour Force statistics, however controversial, since the second quarter of 2024.
SILENCE SINCE METHODOLOGY REDESIGN The NBS has been in the crossfire before for publishing Labour Force Data late in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, the bureau attributed the delay to an overhaul of its survey methodology.
At the time, NBS said it wanted to align Nigeria’s labour statistics with international best practices and ensure data quality and sustainability.
But the resulting data caused chaos. According to the NFLS published at that time (q1, 2024), only about 4.3% of Nigerians were unemployed. The data introduced new types of labour categorisation in the report.
Per the new method, anyone who works even minimal hours in a week is considered “employed”. The reliability of official figures was questioned by labour unions, business groups and even economists.
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), for instance, described the reported employment statistics as unrealistic. Chris Onyeka, the NLC’s National Assistant General Secretary, called the report a “voodoo document” and a “fabrication designed to mislead the public”.
Similarly, Gabriel Idahosa, President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), said, “The technical improvement in the employment rate is more of a way that employment is now calculated; but the reality is that the economy is not looking like an economy where unemployment is significantly reducing.”
Since then, the NBS has not made any attempt to publish labour data.
AntiChristian: The Privatisation of NEPA was led by Atiku and it was sold to incompetent people and his cronies!
Firstly, NEPA was not privatised by the Atiku/Obasanjo admin. That was Jonathan.
PDP left office 11 years ago. What reversal of the privatisation has occurred for APC to claim that we now have adequate power? If none, then the scheme by PDP was a success.
whatmoreng: Sorry bro. You are talking nonsense. If this harsh economy no touch you then you are lying. Today Nigeria, even the rich are crying out We need Atiku. You can't compare him to a Baron
Indeed we need Atiku, he is far more compassionate than the master strategist of Stockholm syndrome impoverishment of Nigerians who is doing balablu bulaba in Aso Rock now.
"Tinubu made living in Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again" - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
AntiChristian: Atiku self no get moral standing! The Privatisation he led remains one of our major problem in Nigeria!
What part of the below reads like problem
Abi it is the deregulation of the telecom sector that you see as a problem?
anonimi: How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings
Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.
The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.
Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.
The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.
The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.
HacheNoire: Sigh… Atiku should know that, Nigerians know him better than Garri. Same Atiku Obasanjo warned us about his "propensity to corruption," lack of transparency, and reliance on money to buy his way out of issues while sacrificing morality and national interest. Let’s not also forget that same Atiku was summoned in the US for an investigation on corruption but fled. Former US Congressman William Jefferson was convicted of soliciting bribes on behalf of Nigerian officials. During the FBI investigation, agents famously found $90,000 in cash — money Jefferson said was intended for Atiku — hidden in his freezer. A US Senate report (Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, 2010) later alleged that Atiku’s wife, Jennifer Douglas-Abubakar, an American citizen, helped move over $40 million in suspect funds into the US through offshore companies between 2000 and 2008, and separately alleged she’d received bribe payments from Siemens AG. According to reports from that period, Atiku and his wife did not accept summons and subpoenas to appear before the US court , and one account claims they moved their family to Dubai and put their Potomac, maryland mansion up for sale, with US Justice Department officials saying arrest warrants had been issued against the couple
Nigerians also know that he is far better than Tinubu on corruption.
5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’
5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors
Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book. Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.
Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.
Nigeria loses 47% of dollar millionaires, retains 4th position in Africa
Nigeria has lost nearly half of its dollar millionaires over the past decade, with the population of high-net-worth individuals falling by 47 per cent between 2015 and 2025, according to the 2025 Africa Wealth Report by Henley & Partners in collaboration with New World Wealth.
Despite the sharp erosion in private wealth, Nigeria retained its position as Africa’s fourth-largest hub for dollar millionaires, with 7,200 millionaires, 20 centi-millionaires (individuals with investable wealth of at least $100 million) and three billionaires, trailing only South Africa, Egypt and Morocco.
The report showed that South Africa remained the continent’s wealthiest country by number of dollar millionaires, with 41,100 millionaires, 112 centi-millionaires and eight billionaires. Egypt followed with 14,800 millionaires, 49 centi-millionaires and seven billionaires.
TimeManager: And this desperate fraud is still collecting huge tuition fee from students in his private university. Why can't he start from his own university?.
#NoVacancyInAsoRock
-Kiss the truth!
Don't you agree that he is far better than the progreThief who raised budget 100 times in Lagos but has less than 5% schools owned by the government
What is Tinubu doing with Lagos trillions yearly apart from stealing it like a petty thief?
FSBoperator: There's a housing bubble in the US now. House prices are grossly overvalued and the reason for this are: 1. Corporations like BlackRock are now buying up mortgage debt from banks and almost immediately inflating the property values on the homes they acquired the mortgage debt. This is one of the prime reason housing is spiking in the US. 2. Same corporations liaise with city councils , HOAs and environmental groups to block new development projects so as to create an artificial scarcity while still pumping up the value of their homes. 3. A typical single family first time buyer home use to average between 100-250k but now it's averaging between 500-800k. This has nothing to do with cost in actually building new homes as wages have stagnated for construction workers owing to illegal workers getting paid under the table far below industry rates and sometimes lower than minimum wage but because of bureaucratic red tapes that are meant to keep home prices up, investors and shareholders in BlackRock and other institutional investors happy and the boomers who own most homes in America remain rich to be able to afford going on vacation to Vegas to gamble half their earnings away . This is why Trump said he can't see to bringing down house prices because it will affect others already invested in it and is proposing 50y mortgages. All those inflated homes and corporate portfolio and owed debt from mortgages get accounted as part of US GDP which sees to US govt borrowing more on that same artificial GDP with debt now above GDP. A debt based economy will always create scarcity and inflation.
So why follow Tinubu dogmatically despite his huge debt burden on the economy creating scarcity and inflation to worsen APC's extreme poverty
onatisi: Most billionaires are debtors — but strategic ones. They borrow money to grow their businesses, not to cover personal expenses. The key difference between the rich and the poor lies in how they use debt: the poor take loans to survive, while the rich take loans to invest and multiply their wealth. As long as their investments generate enough returns to repay those loans and still profit, debt becomes a tool for expansion, not a trap.
The OP indeed contains element to show that he is a strategic investor, who should have a positive net worth despite his huge debt.
Is that not how Tinubu has plunged Nigeria into great debt despite removing subsidy to save billions of dollars, and making roads worse than when we had cheap petrol under PDP
DeLaRue: People just don't understand that we are all already benefitting in a less visible way.
They don't want to know that without the improving economic growth, naira's value would be lower. That in turn would have made everything even more expensive. That's exactly what will happen if any government goes back to paying subsidy.
No subsidy is tough. But bringing back subsidy will be worse as the value of the naira will collapse.
Of what value will subsidy be if a loaf of bread start selling for N4,000 or rice for N150,000?
When did bread sell for N4,000 when Atiku and PDP gave us cheap petrol and cheap dollars with less debt and less unemployment for high productivity that made us the biggest economy in Africa?
DeLaRue: Wonderful. Once we land somewhere around 6.5% annual growth, we just need to keep growing around that rate for about 15 consecutive years, Nigeria will truly begin to transition from being a low income economy to a middle income economy. Indonesia grew by around 5% per year for tge past 20 years
As wonderful as the 100 times growth in Lagos budget to N4.2 trillion in 27 years with worsening water supply and free education?
What is wonderful about that, to warrant more at the national level?
anonimi: Lagos, 3 other African cities rank among world’s least liveable in 2026
July 15, 2026
Four African cities have been ranked among the world’s 10 least liveable urban centres in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Global Liveability Index 2026, reflecting the continued impact of insecurity, pressure on public services, infrastructure gaps and governance challenges.
The annual index assessed 173 cities across five indicators: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. Each city received a score out of 100 based on how well it performs across these areas.
This year’s rankings placed Harare (Zimbabwe), Lagos (Nigeria), Algiers (Algeria) and Tripoli (Libya) in the global bottom 10, alongside cities affected by conflict, economic challenges and weak infrastructure.
AWONEYAN: They will tell you, this doesn't bring food to table. No one is saying we have gotten there. But we are not where we used to be. All the Lambas of Atikus and Obi's bangles data are just signs of desperation to taste power.

anonimi: Nigeria remains fourth largest economy in Africa despite rebasing
July 21, 2025
Nigeria has retained its status as the fourth largest economy in Africa despite a rebasing exercise that expanded the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced that the economy expanded to N372.8 trillion ($243 billion) in 2024, down from N314.02 trillion in the prior year as more sectors in the informal economy were considered in its calculations.
The statistics bureau adopted 2019 as its base year away from 2010 that’s previously reported.
The rebasing exercise covers the period from 2019 to 2023 and reflects changes in the economy’s structure, sectoral contributions, and data sources.
Despite the overhaul, Nigeria fails to reclaim its erstwhile status as the largest economy in Africa.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), South Africa remains the continent’s biggest economy with a GDP of $410.34 billion for a country with little over a quarter of Nigeria’s population.
Following the Southern African nation is Egypt with a GDP of $347 billion while Algeria maintains its third position having $268.9 billion as the size of its economy.
Although Nigeria’s economy grew 30 percent above the projected $188 billion estimate by the IMF this year, the rebasing was poised to place the economy as the biggest in Africa.
Osgilliat: Always doing things in an almajiri ways. Can someone please tell Atiku that this is not a military regime and there are constitutional laws and regulations to follow. Tinubu is doing things in a democratic manner, so he doesn’t offends state governors. He started it and he will finish it. Every states will comply to full local government autonomy before the end of his second tenure.
If the balablu bulaba clueless clown is doing things in a democratic way then why has he failed to do what the SCON ordered in 2024 about LGA autonomy
Vision101: Ask your client to be intelligent. Let him come out with original thoughts so that we can interogate them and know how smart he is.
The easiest thing for me to do is to look at holes in what you are doing and promise that I will do them better but it's more difficult for me to create new ideas.
Atiku was in government for eight years and we didn't hear him say anything about LG autonomy. In fact during that time it was dead.
Atiku’s record in government is far better than what this clueless Stockholm Syndrome master strategist of impoverishment has in Lagos for 27 years, and in the entire country for almost four years.
Deal with this.

Dijita: debt forgiveness for loan program that is not even up to 10 years. This is another way to bankrupt the program. It will turn into another subsidy that will be cancel or died due to lack of funding.
Why does this read like the writings of a Stockholm Syndrome sufferer to the balablu clueless clown in Aso Rock who operates in agbalọwọmeri mode
Most tertiary institutions in the country have hiked their fees by over 150 %, putting serious strains on the finances of parents and guardians who also have to contend with the poor state of the economy which has reduced purchasing power and savings.
Checks by Vanguard Learning in public universities across the country show that the increment in obligatory fees, which started late last year is continuing, as a new session starts in some schools this January.
Only on January 6, this year, for instance, the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, Ondo State came out with a proposal to hike fees by over 100%.
Why is Tinubu only interested in punishing people who allow him to exercise their sovereignty? What is wrong with this ọmọ iyalọja Mọgaji?
anonimi: Nigeria: Tinubu imposed Fees on LASU - another major attack on Education
06 June 2006
Back in February two Lagos students were killed by police as they protested against the recent hike in school fees. In some cases fees have been increased a hundred times over. This is making it practically impossible for poor and working class Nigerian children to get an education.
"The Lagos State university students' union in conjunction with the NANS zone D and NANS JCC Lagos Axis berate the satanic increment in LASU school fees and the killing of some students of LASU during the peaceful protest against the increment in school fees. And call for the immediate reversal of these exploitative fees as a prerequisite to let the less privilege have access to Education".
These was the first paragraph in the leaflet issued by the students' union alongside with NANS zone D and JCC Lagos in February after the students' protest against the fees, which led to the killing of two students by the police on the command of the Lagos State Government.
It will be recalled that immediately after the appointment of a new vice chancellor last year, December 2005, the Tinubu regime of Lagos State announced to Lagos residents that the government could not afford to subsidize education and that in line with the ‘reforms' in the education sector, there cannot be any free education. The university authorities were directed to increase the fees from 250 Naira for old students to 25,000 Naira, while the freshmen's old fee of 1, 000 Naira was increased to N35, 000. This increment exclude the acceptance fees N10,000 introduced earlier to the fresh students two years ago.
It is very important to note that even while the official school fees were placed at N250 earlier, an average student still pays as much as N25,000 to the university or its agents. This takes the form of handouts, registration fees, etc.
Not excluding the current attempt to deny the children of the working class education by the newly imposed post-JAMB test, according to ruling elites, it is to checkmate examination malpractice experienced during jamb exams but from reality, it has been confirmed as another conduit pipe through which money is generated and siphoned without question. This post jamb fee in LASU is N2,000. All these fees stated above do not include various expenses to be incurred while going through the registration processes.
The Tinubu administration carrying out these attacks on students is a master of deception. Towards the end of his first four years, he became one of the most hated governors in Nigeria as he committed enormous atrocities against workers, students and rendered many people homeless. The sacking of over 10,000 workers in 2001/2002 over the N7,500 minimum wage protests is still fresh in the memory of the working class despite the treachery of the labour leadership.
Even the supposedly brilliant lawyer who continued his master plan after Engineer Funsho Williams was murdered, did the same progreThief thing. APC leaders fail to deliver free education for all children in schools with adequate numbers of well paid professional teachers but have no problem hiking the fees for a university built by progressive governor Jakande.
"Tinubu made living in Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again" - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
Why would anyone prefer expensive Nigeria to an affordable one, where jobs are plentiful and everyone is working to add value to the country
Okay. Not exactly what he said. But that is exactly what he implied. How much is the minimum wage of Lagos state civil servants? He seems to be out of touch and his statements are highly irresponsible!
Governor Babatunde Fashola battled hard weekend, to justify the astronomical hike in tuition fees recently introduced in Lagos State University, LASU, by the state government. Recall that the state government had increased tuition fees paid in the university from N25,000 to N250,000 per session.
Fashola, who spoke at Government College, Ughelli’s, annual luncheon party in Lagos, said Nigerians were unconsciously making the country one where there would be separate schools for the rich and poor.
According to him, critics of the increment are indirectly calling for a Nigerian society which will be divided into poor university for the poor and rich university for rich people.
He said: “Countries that do not prioritise education are always at the mercy of those who place a high premium on education.
“Where in the world have we seen tuition fee of university of N25,000? You cannot find this anywhere. Even the nations that are developed and wealthy do not give education for N25,000.
“LASU started very well and over the years, the population grew and beyond the available facilities and the school began to deteriorate. We are determined to rescue LASU and we will not make it a school for the poor.
“We are unconsciously making Nigeria a society where there will be a school for the rich and one for the poor. “Several people in this country pay so much for education abroad while the schools here continue to deteriorate. It is only in the university that the children of the rich and children of the poor can sit in the same classroom.”
Is this how Tinubu is supposed to be building Nigeria with the billions of dollars saved from subsidies removal and more borrowing in addition to higher tax burden on us
Melezenawii: Omo, there’s hardly anywhere in this country that Tinubu hasn’t turned into a construction site 🔥🔥👇
Take a look at the massive construction work ongoing on the Bacita–Shonga–Lafiagi Road (83km) and the Okuta–Bukuro Road (32km), which connects to the Benin Republic.
Step by step, infrastructure is being developed across the country.
Tinubu is building a new Nigeria. 🇳🇬💪 Happy New Month
Tooreda: I expect Peter Obi to be this direct but I think he is deliberately being careful.
Compared to Atiku, Obi has nothing to offer Nigerians apart from photo shoots and sound bites.
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.
NLCreator: Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.
