Politics › Re: Just Give Me ₦5,000 And I'll Vote For Your Candidate – Man Says by benardtotti(m): 7:40pm On Jun 22 |
CharlesCNG: if APC gave 319,000 Ekiti people ₦5,000 each, are you saying PDP and ADC had no money, no agents, no structures, and no eyes on the field? That excuse is even more insulting to your own side than to APC. Elections are not lost only by what the winner spent; they are also lost by weak structure, weak messaging, poor candidate appeal, and weak voter connection on the part of the opposition.
A party that blames only stomach infrastructure for every defeat is like a lazy farmer blaming the rain because he came to the farm without seed.
So keep the propaganda if you like, but at least keep your excuse straight: if APC “bought” everyone, then what stopped PDP and ADC from competing, mobilising, monitoring, and persuading? In the end, too many people prefer to explain away failure instead of explaining why voters refused them.
By the way how much was paid to voters in kano, nassarawa, enugu, ondo, rivers ? Poor miserable losers! Same ekiti election pdp offered 2k , adc offered 3k , apc was the highest bidder at 10k . Presidential election apc will give up to 50k per vote ,some places will even receive 100k. |

Celebrities › Re: I Am A Targaryen - Mr Eazi Explains His Grey Hair by benardtotti(m): 12:33pm On Jun 22 |
nlfpmod: Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi has left fans laughing after jokingly revealing the “real reason” behind his much-talked-about grey hair.
“Yesterday someone came to me at the airport and was asking me about my hair,” he said. “They’ve been debating about it. Is it genetics? Is it dye? Or is it stress?”
The singer then delivered his punchline.
“I am happy to let you guys know that I am a Targaryen. I have been keeping that from you guys.”
The joke references the fictional House Targaryen from the hit fantasy series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, whose members are famous for their silver hair and dragons.
The playful video quickly amused fans on social media, with many praising Mr Eazi’s sense of humour while joining in on the fantasy-inspired banter.
If you are a fan of dyeing your hair, the long term effect is it ends up bleaching your natural hair to white, the day you stop dyeing your hair just be expecting to see plenty grey hair after even if you are not yet 45 -50 years . |

Cmeo: I believe this Tinubu government is deliberately keeping the dollar at the current rate of 1,300 Naira to safe some business and make more money to settle it's naira obligations.
True worth of a Dollar now is about 980 Naira but as the government is one of the most earner and seller of dollar, they deliberately keep the dollar price higher so that they can collect more Naira to settle Naira obligations and possibly not to devalue the stock of people not yet sold that had been imported at costly dollar value. The only sensible comment on the whole front page Nigeria is doing what china does , undervalue your currency to drive trade surplus . |

Saturnalia: The Country “Malaysia” hosted an International War Tribunal (KLWCC) established in 2007, tried & indicted George w. Bush & Tony Blair in absentia in “2011” for the unlawful invasion of Iraq.
To get back at Malaysia for daring to challenge the status quo, the Amerikan CIA in collaboration with the British MI6 - hijacked the Malaysian Flight MH-370 and flew it to an Island called “Diego Garcia” and then killed all the passengers on board.
The most annoying part is that the Amerikan Government was the first to join the search rescue team when the Aircraft was declared missing.
If you're looking for the most poisonous snakes in the world, do not bother to look in the forest or amazon, just go to Washington DC.
That was not enough!
The CIA in collaboration with the Ukrainian SBU shot down another Malaysian Flight MH-17 over the Ukranian Airspace and then blamed it on Mother Russia.

It's kind of ironic that in one breath you praise tinubu for removing fuel subsidy, which most nigerians opposed, then praise him for keeping power subsides that also were not working, due to 'it's what the people want'
Lack of consistency is not a vote winner. I hope you know tariffs were reviewed upwards with plans to do that again soon Everyone in nigeria has tagged tinubu a devil cos of trying to remove tariff on fuel and forex , yet you want him to go full circle immediately with power tariffs common bro , it will totally unsettle the country . But if there is anything you should have observed about tinubu by now is that he is not afraid to do the difficult things. Power subsidy will definitely go its just a matter of time . |

Tinubu gave a caveat in that very video that they use for propaganda but it's either our education system has gone totally to zero or people just choose to be funny , at the end of that video he said " unless I come to you and give adequate reasons why I couldn't deliver " Please see link to that clip below : https://youtube.com/shorts/LPkRq5ooGKM?si=CqdsWHo5S0fClYKZ2.

They tell you naira is falling because we import too much , lol we don’t even import Enough
If you look at Nigeria trade balance since 2015 it’s positive 70% of the years and positive cumulatively
So why then is naira falling ? Infrastructure done with borrow money …. How ?
You borrow money to build a road that can’t generate money to pay back , when it’s time to service debt you print money enter the forex market and boom naira supply increase dollar supply remain same
In naira Nigerians earn far more than 2015 but it’s worth far less
I always urge Nigerians go and watch obi n osibanjo debate in 2019 that’s where APC policy is exposed and where Obi won me over 100%
Listen ,research and learn
Soon if we continue like this minimum wage would be 1 million but would be worth less than 70k today Obi that did not invest in infrastructure yet poverty still went up under his tenure? How prosperous did obi leave anambra? What major production is anambra known for today that generates revenue not just for anambra but for Nigeria?

Politics › Re: The Hypocrisy Of Attacking Peter Obi For What Yar’adua And Tinubu Already Did by benardtotti(m): 11:02am On Jun 15 |
1nice: Peter Obi’s recent statement that he would pursue dialogue and seek the release of Nnamdi Kanu as part of efforts to calm tensions in the South-East has drawn loud criticism online. “You can’t negotiate with agitators,” some commentators say. “Releasing Kanu is weakness.”
But history — and recent government actions — tell a different story. Shaming Obi for proposing what Nigerian leaders have already done is not just inconsistent. It ignores the facts of how Nigeria has actually achieved peace before.
1. Yar’Adua negotiated with “agitators” — and it worked In 2009, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua faced a Niger Delta crisis: pipeline bombings, kidnappings, attacks on oil facilities. The militants were labeled “agitators,” “criminals,” “enemies of the state.”
Instead of only military force, Yar’Adua’s government opened talks. On June 25, 2009, he announced a 60-day amnesty. Militant leaders like Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, and Boyloaf dropped arms, surrendered, and entered a Disarmament, Demobilization & Reintegration program. In exchange, they received training, stipends, and development promises.
Result: Pipeline bombings dropped sharply. Oil production rose from ∼700,000 bpd in 2009 to over 2 million bpd by 2010. The Niger Delta Amnesty Programme still runs today. Whether you agree with all its outcomes or not, the fact is clear: negotiation with armed agitators restored relative peace and revenue.
No one today shames Yar’Adua for “talking to militants.” He is praised for choosing dialogue over endless war.
2. Tinubu’s government has also pardoned and engaged controversial figures* Criticism of Obi often ignores what is already happening:
Sunday Igboho: Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, was arrested in Benin Republic in 2021 and detained. Under the current administration, he was released and has been moving freely in Nigeria since 2024. No trial. No public condemnation of “pardon.”
"Repentant” Boko Haram: Since 2016, the federal “Operation Safe Corridor” programme has deradicalized and released thousands of ex-Boko Haram fighters after “repentance” and training. The Army and government defend it as a security strategy. Some returnees have been reintegrated into communities.
If government can deradicalize and release Boko Haram suspects, and can allow Igboho’s freedom, then the principle of “dialogue + conditional release” is already established policy.
3. Why Obi’s proposal is not radical Obi is not calling for unconditional release of anyone convicted of violent crime. He has said dialogue is needed to address grievances driving separatist agitation in the South-East, and that Kanu’s continued detention fuels tension. That is the same logic Yar’Adua used: remove the symbol around which agitation rallies, address root causes, and give peace a chance.
Facts that make sense: 1. Military crackdowns alone have not ended IPOB-related sit-at-home or violence since 2015. 2. Court processes for Kanu have dragged for years, creating legal and political uncertainty. 3. Every major insurgency Nigeria has calmed — Niger Delta, OPC, Bakassi Boys — involved some form of negotiation, amnesty, or political settlement.
You cannot praise Yar’Adua for Niger Delta amnesty, accept “repentant Boko Haram” as policy, watch Igboho walk free, then turn around and shame Peter Obi for saying “let’s negotiate with South-East agitators and review Kanu’s detention.”
That is not principle. That is partisanship.
If dialogue is good for the Delta and Borno, it deserves honest debate for the South-East too — without name-calling. Nigeria’s unity will be built more on justice + conversation than on shouting down every leader who suggests peace talks. Is it that you Obidients are eternally dull? 1. Niger Delta militants were not fighting for a separate nation . 2. Ipob wants biafra ,that is their agitation, so if you say obi who is meant to be the president of a united Nigeria accepts their agitation then he shouldn't be the president in the first place. 3. If you claim ipob should be given their agitation then boko haram as well can go ahead and receive full recognition of their agitation after all they are fighting against western education. You guys need to always think logically before dropping posts. |
Politics › Re: This Is How Tinubu Should Have Handled Fuel Subsidy Removal For Better Nigeria by benardtotti(m): 8:07pm On Jun 14 |
franchasng: Today I am in a very good mood after listening to God's words as preached by my great Pastor who happens to be a wonderful Yoruba man.
For those that don't usually attend Church on Sundays and on special weekly activities, please try and be attending because the word of God is life, it rekindles your spirit and awakens the giant in you and propels you to greatness if you back it up with actions and faith.
Now back to the topic; how Tinubu should have handled the fuel subsidy removal for a better Nigeria.
Being a diehard Obidient and an Apostle of God-sent leader to rescue Nigeria from leadership quagmire, Mr Peter Obi, I want to give out just a single tip out of the many of how Tinubu should have handled the removal of fuel subsidy and Nigeria wouldn't have been in a disaster it is in today as a nation.
Before I reveal this tip, sometimes I wonder if Tinubu does not have smart thinking economic experts that should have guided him or was it that Tinubu refused to listen to good counsels just to feel like Jagaban that his followers call him that always mislead him by making his head swell.
Removing fuel subsidy at one go wasn't so smart but removing the whole fuel subsidy at once and taking the money saved from the removal of fuel subsidy to share with state Governors was a very terrible mistake from Tinubu. I suspect he did it to win state Governors to his side ahead of a second tenure contest.
If this method was wrong, how then should Tinubu have done it?
Tinubu should have removed the subsidy and then take out 30% and share with the crooked state Governors and used the remaining 70% to remit into our foreign reserve which would have helped Nigerian Naira currency to gain value agains the dollar and other foreign currencies, with this, inflation would have stayed low and petrol price per liter would have remained around 750 Naira per liter.
How you may ask?
If Tinubu had used the money saved from fuel subsidy removal to build up our foreign reserve, Naira would have gained value and stayed at $1 = NGN680 at most, and with this exchange rate, petrol pump price per liter in Nigeria will be around NGN750 to NGN800 at most.
With this, inflation would have remained low in Nigeria and Nigeria's economy wouldn't have been this damaged.
He can still make a u-turn, if you are close to him, share this idea with him.
I am sharing this information because of my love for God and because of the poor Nigerian masses Bro , tinubu met foreign resrve at $3b , today it's 50b so I don't understand what you are saying about taking some percentage to increase foreign reserve, he has done that already. The problem i have with you Obidients is you guys never want to acknowledge any solution as long as it didn't come from obi or your movement. |
