The problem of North is the people like shettima who are advocating for Northern students as if he loves them, they only keep these innocent children in this condition of educated illiteracy to exploit them, why cant they say this to Jamb when they introduce it. Student are sent to school to learn, why cant they teach them and make sure they are up to require standard. When they introduce GSM, they are able to cope and use it, ATM of bank they are able to cope even the illiterate that has never been to school use them. Is it not the same allocation being given to other state were given to them too why is that other state are developing their own state educationally and northern states failed in this responsibility? But this man that is claiming he is fighting for northern students, let him show us his children, the level of their computer literacy can hardly be beaten by any student from any where, they deprive these youths their legitimate right and they will then fight hypocritically for them as if they love them, but their own children are enjoying all these benefits.

God will deliver Nigeria with these sets of criminals we called leaders in this country, if not because the country has been turned to criminal syndicate, who would the whole accountant general of federation pay public money into a private account, this is what all of them are doing, they will tell us no money with government, because they have shared all the money among themselves. EFCC, should do the needful by inviting her for questioning, and the president should sack her immediately. Also the criminal act of using consultant to execute government project should be abolished, what is the use of all ministry staff? That every project will be executed through consultant, and 10% of our scares resources are paid to the so called consultant or better still, if staff of ministries are so incompetent that they cant execute government policies, then, let the be sacked. So that we cant waste money on staff salaries and at the same time engage consultant to implement government policies.

So you expect a northerners to contest and win for 2027 election .. I am surprised PDP is still in bed with Atiku..The main reason Atiku lost the last election was becos it's the turn of the south but he decided to contest anyway .His action eventually made Obi leave for another party and the south was divided and with it some PDP strong hold.
It would be foolish of him to contest again.

Yes I agree with you, it is the turn of south, Atkins should forget it, even if Obi did not continue employment is welcome if he can do the needful and make live better, by arresting those that scared our subsidy regime, arrest them collect our money back, send kyari who bastardised it and return our subsidy to make life easy, we will support him to continue.

These same people who do not appear for investigation, if it is senate screening or swearing in at Aso Villa, they will not absent themselves, yeye people.

We want the train of this investigation to reach NNPC quickly, where we have large scale of subsidy scam. All these billions of naira being discovered will be a child play if the tentacle is spread to NNPC. EFCC should quickly fast track their investigation to them. Every official must be accounted for their actions and inactions. It is now they will not appear for investigation, when they want to be screened, they will put on their best attires and being accompanied by relatives and friends, but to account for their stewardship, they will be running from pillar to post, God will catch them all.

Tinubu this, Tinubu that. I should have known never to get into it with an Obidullard only concerned with talking about Tinubu and claiming everything is the fault of Mr.President.

The simple answer to your question is that responsible employers, in times of national crisis or belt-tighening, pay a living wage if they can. I.e wages that cover the cost of living of their employees as a way of supporting government effort. This is done willingly in many nations worldwide bar Nigeria.

During the credit crunch of several years ago, EU nations even came together to bail out troubled nations like Greece with cash floats.

Nigeria is going through harsh time as she must because of existentialist reforms that must be put in place when Tinubu did and without delay.

No sane person can pretend it can be otherwise but you insufferable IPOB bingos do not wish well for Nigeria and just wish to use everything to bash Tinubu.

We are not the first nation in crisis that is not that the fault of the government of the day or economic hard times that has been ocassioned by urgent reform that may cause adversity in the short term but must not be put off even a second longer.

The UK and many nations in Europe went through similar due to the economic fallout of the Russia-Ukraine war. They have recovered somewhat today

It is only in Nigeria, because we are not united as a people, many blame and insist one man must do it all, because of their own ulterior moves, whereas a combination of effort from responsible stakeholders, like private sector employers, can help out immensely.

People like you is the reason why we are not move forward and we are suffering. What brought about IPOB in the matter of hardship, even if they complaint are they not affected, or Yoruba are enjoying buying fuel at 190 naira as before this person announced subsidy gone without plans. You claimed the problem should not be blamed on one man, but he is the one that makes the two policies that brought these hardship upon us. You also mentioned that even Europe is having some economic challenge, is it the way the person you are defending as a leader suppose to live, he told people to endure hardship, but live in affluent, by buying expensive cars, hatch, outrageous renovation of houses and Dubai shopping in the name climate conference. Their own leaders suffers with masses not the poor sacrifice and political leaders increasing their allocation unjustifiable.

TopBanter:
Sowore has effectively turned himself into a joke who is out of touch with the Nigerian reality. I doubt many civil servants or government workers are paid as low as 30k monthly.

Yet millions of drivers, POS attendant, gatemen, supermarkets staff, cleaners, shop assistants etal are paid 25 to 30k monthly by their private employers.

How is the wickedness of private employers the fault of political leaders? Nigeria is very sick and need solutions beyond the 'attack all leaders' simplistic rhetoric of Sowore and his ilk.

For your information, you are arguing blindly, many government workers earned less than 20,000 naira, go to States and local governments, you will see it for yourself, or ask NLC in states, you will be surprised. Many State government are wicked, even the palliative the federal government direct them to pay, 90% of them did not pay that 35,000 naira, even when their allocation is nearly double because of subsidy removal, yet they refused to pay.

Kalu, why didn't you NASS members to wait before buying 160 million naira car for each member, why didn't tell Akpabio to wait before sending prayers to senator to enjoy their holiday, why didn't you ask the senator to wait before increased their budgetory allocations with hundreds of billions of naira. God will judge these set of wicked people we called leaders in this country. Masses will definitely rescue themselves from their corrupt activities one day by His grace.

LegendHero:
Good development.

But what about non- state government workers like traders and etc.

What help will the state governors render to them? It is as tho all state governors always forget there are other people in a state and the civil servants usually only enjoy these things.

The usual argument will be that the civil servant will patronize them with the increase but that sound somehow.

The traders you talked about, are they not the one that will collect what ever is given to civil servant. Since fuel subsidy removal regime, these people have increased their prices, what they buy they sell prevailing prices. Palliative to civil servant will bring more income to them, because the money will be used to buy goods from them, more over there is palliative also for SMEs. Sonia a win- win for them.

Higherthan:
That's why you can but love this man called tinubu, cutting cost of governance and ready to serve the people

The man is actually saving Nigeria well, by renovation of his house and his deputy with billions of Naira, buying yatch at billions of naira, taking more than1400 on a jamboree, in Dubai, delayed in paying federal workers salary, failure to to 35000 palliative agreed to, retaining the leadership of NNPCL that put this country into debt and inflation through their outrageous claim of subsidy, that make him to stop subsidy, the list is inexhaustible, that confirms that the man is really working for Nigeria.

SharingIsLife:
Tinubu must recoup his investment first. He paid so much to become president and now you people want him to work for you?

If truly a majority of Nigerians don't want this government, here is an opportunity to still unseat them democratically. Otherwise, Nigerians should stop complaining and support the government to succeed amap.

For me, the harsh truth is that Tinubu bought the seat at a very high cost. So, it would be naive of us to expect him to deliver much until he has got back his investment AND MADE PROFIT. That's a business man for you.

Don't you know that vote buying is an illegal act, much less of recovering money spent on vote buying. Any one that comes to power through vote buying is an illegal government. And the mam swear to uphold our constitution, was it buy recouping the money spent on vote buying part of upholding our constitution. But if an armed robber is caught, they will be ready to uphold it, but to themselves, they are above the constitution they swear in. Malu ti ko niru, Oluwa lo nle esinsin fun, dont forget.

Please which yakubu, is it the one that short down irev, promised to look at complaints of opposition parties , but went ahead to announce result when people were sleeping. Wonders shall never end.

So the government that has all state power is complaining of saboteurs, they are the real saboteurs due to their corrupt activities. The government that cannot deal with these less than 0.01% people, but they can deal with more than two hundred million people by removing fuel subsidy on the excuse that there is scam in it, instead of dealing decisively with this few people, masses must suffer skyrocket inflation, to the extend that government has to come to the aid of some people before they can travel Christmas. Ogbeni Bamidele, the government is the saboteur of itself by always make bad policies that make them unpopular among her citizens.

Mr. Ex governor I disagree with some of your statements, one that it is buhari that removed subsidy, this is not true, intact buhari made provision for it till June ending, but tinubu ended it at may ending. Even if buhari did not make such provision for the rest of the year as subsidy, what stops him from making supplements appreciation, afterwards buhari did not make provision for the purchase of yatch, renovation of house in Lagos or Abuse and many other, but additional budget was made for them. Also by reappointing the man at the center of subsidy scam, as NNPCL MD, is an act of disservice to this nation. As Emefele is answering for his sins so should NNPCL should.

None of these Politicians are Saints, neither are they good for the Masses but is about their Selfish-interest!
-Obi who never Condemned anything bad in Southeast- the destruction,the Kidnappings,the killings and Shedding of Blood by IPOB,the UGM, and the destructive activities of Simon Ekpa is ok with him and have audacity to impose Chinedu- Gbadebo on the Lagosians is your Saints- when he knew all the IPOB activities linked to the guy in his Twitter Accts was glaring!
Or the Atikus and the PDP- 17- yrs of No Single Infrastructure Facilities in Nigeria is what you People want for Nigeria! NO!
Una go explain tire!

God will answer our prayers include that of Ameachi, am not a politician but we must all pray for the prosperity of Nigeria, because we don't have any other place to be called our own except Nigeria. I want to take you up on your last statement that PDP did nothing for 16 years not 17 years as you have even claimed. Ignorant people like you or people that has short memory of past events, need to be educated a little, even if PDP did nothing in your own eyes, I will refresh your memory with the following facts; they paid up all our debt, and free us from the burden of debts. The party you are defending brought us back to burden of debts so bad that the whole of Nigeria income is not enough to service debts, we still have to borrow to service debts. The GSM I and you are now using to express our view, their government brought it. All the projects the party in power claimed they have done were actually started by government you condemned without borrowing, corruption was not as bad as this that NNPC failed pay anything to federation account claiming that all money from our major source of income was used to pay fuel subsidy as if the previous government did not pay fuel subsidy. It is the same government that claimed they feeding our children in school with nearly a billion naira every day even when those children were with their parents at home, their policies were so bad that we have money in banks but cannot assess it the to what they called naira redesign, can you immerging that on the even of an administration a minister went and hire an aeroplane and said it marks the take off of Nigeria air. The number is countless, so let us raise our voices in prayers and hope that God will divinely intervene in the affairs of Nigeria, because our politicians are bad and wicked.

Bobloco:
If you describe Buhari's government as disastrous then what will you describe the current calamitous Tinubu government

Thank you for the above assertion, am in total support of it, those who defending this disastrous called government, by the time the token they were bribed is finished their eyes will be opened. Those who are blaming Ameachi, that he did nothing, was Nigeria so bad to the extend that cost of goods has tripped, cost of patrol was increased from 185 to 710 naira per liters in some state, diesel above one thousand from 700, the product that already been deregulated before the came to power, while salary still remain the same, and this was due to wrong decision of Mr. President on our economy; removal of patrol subsidy and floating of Naira. The money they claimed will be saved, we have not see the impact, we only see poverty being multiply on a daily basis. So I say big Amen to Ameachi's prayer.

How a student scores him/herself and expect any praise form that score. A word is enough for the wise, but I am not sure if they are actually wise, from all the wrong decisions they have been taken since they assumed office

I expect them to be serious on weighty matters, federal schools are charging high school fees, no investigation it is the POS operators that concern them, true people.

Congratulation to our royal father, Ade a pe Lori, bata a pe lese, igba yin a tuwa lara o. Amin.

Pakute:
Loads of trash from Gazzette as usual. NJC appointed the man as an auditor, the CJN did not. He was appointed being duely qualified for the job and no law was broken in his appointment.

This is an unintelligent response, how would you say NJC appoints him not CJN. who head the two institutions, is it not the elder brother they are talking about? Nigeria has now be turned to a private enterprise, where government official turn public resources to their fathers' resources and business, it must come to an end.

Please let count teachers out of this, have we not see a situation where parent take tugs to schools to go and beat up the teacher that discipline their children. Teachers have become a laughing stock for students, parents and society and even government.

Is not the fault of this useless institution, they did not set standard price for construction of one kilometer of road, and other inflated contract it what will kill masses they always canvass for. The problem is that of our so called leaders who so wicked and do not have the interest of the masses at heart. I think democracy has failed us in Nigeria and Africa as a who, am strongly support Baba Obasanjo that we should have alternative to our yeye democracy, that allow them to commit crime with impunity.

tinsel:
Tell me how? With police and army on the side of Wike

But Wike's predecessor also has police and army on his side but cannot defeat Will a sitting governor then.

Mr. President, you did not ask us to pray for God's guidance before you proclaimed that subsidy gone, foreign exchange floated, with adverse economic consequences, you bought hatch, renovated houses for you and your vice, with billions of naira, you took 1411 people to UAE, for meeting, buy 160 million naira car each NASS members. Now when it is now comes to bring good governance, then there is need for prayers to achieve it, to live an extravagant life does not involve prayers. Let all of you be known that, when God answers our prayers, what He will do to all you wicked politics in Nigeria will be beyond your imagination for being responsible for our poverty and stealing our resources with impunity.

One major thing that make me dislike this government apart from hardship its brought upon Nigeria is the retention of this good for nothing man call NNPCL GMD. How's could someone in his right sense reappoint this wicked man. This man claimed we consume 100 literally of patrol, in which every body disputed, including the then minister of state for petroleum and custom boss. The man was just embezzling Nigeria money, he suppose to be in detention like Emefele, but what he got from our so called renew hope is reappointment. You people can continue you will meet God later. So according this ungodly man, the cost of taken crude to where they refined it, that of bring it back as refined product, insurance and import dutiesall this will not have any impact on cost?

Well only fool will know and believe this gibberish and know peace when:

PETER OBI-EX PDP THIEF AND VP CANDIDATE
DATTI-EX PDP THIEF AND SACKED SENATOR
DOYIN OKUPE-EX PDP THIEF IN CHIEF AND SPOKEMAN


BUHARI-NEVER A PDP THIEF
OSINBAJO-NEVER A PDP THIEF
TINUBU-NEVER A PDP THIEF ,INFACT PDP NUMBER ONE ENEMY FOR 16YEARS
SHETTIMA-NEVER A PDP THIEF

SO....if your fish brain and that of those deluded fools that will like your post are actually functioning well you will know LABOUR PARTY IS AN OLD PDP IN A NEW PACKAGED BOTTLE with sound EVIDENCE

Though am not a politician, but during PDP time life is more convenient, they created middle class, people can travel with ease and no fear of insecurity as we have now, people were buying cars and building houses, but now, common man cannot afford food to eat, those with cars have now sold them or park it at home, to pay school fees has become an impossible venture. They themselves knows this that is why they asked us to bear the pain, while they are living extravagant life. It is only fools who will say PDP government is not better than the last 8 years of this ruling party. Democratically, PDP government upheld the virtue of democracy, you can demonstrate without police rolling out there war tanks, and DSS pursuing your life. That is why we can have occupy Ojota for days, but occupy lekki was met with massacre. Please Nigerians we must be sincere to ourselves, because we do not have any other country other than Nigeria. If our country is good all of us will enjoy it, but if we allow few wicked and selfish people to divide and ruin our nation, all of us including unborn generation will suffer it. Let us all speak up against any bad governance.

Reno omokri on x

Omokri, you part of the people that improve rise Nigeria, and all Mighty God will deal with you according to you hypocrite. When you are pursuing Buhari up and down, we thought you have the interest of Nigeria at heart, without knowing that you are hungry of appointment. This government you now want to die for, Buhari government have not done one quarter of what they have done in term of pain they inflicted on Nigerians with subsidy remover and aimless floating of our currency. While they told us to endure pain, they are using billions of naira to renovate unoccupied houses, buying yacht, expensive cars, traveling aimlessly like Ajala, just to mention a few. With all these, you are willing to defend the failed government because of your stomach. Help us to ask your government omokri, for how long we are to endure this hardship.

Prof. Jega should not worry about this, since the major opposition senators were there when their nominations is being approved and failed to raise their voice load, by the time they rig them out during election, they should not complain. Because Nigerian electoral riggers don't do that only on election day, it is long planning process which include appointment of electoral officers. Even the major opposition candidates all keep mute, it is CSO that are fighting what they suppose to fight with all seriousness. That is why APC was better than them when they were in opposition, they always raise alarm even when there is no issue.

Our president and governors are still wasting our money going abroad to look for investor, which investor will come to poverty striking society, even our local businesses are folding up because of lack purchasing power with citizens. Our politicians are sharing billions among themselves but are sharing 8,000 naira to the people. God will deliver the masses from their wicked activities.

Burob:
Just shows your gross ignorance, the PIA Act signed into law in August 2021removed Petroleum subsidy June 2023, why do you think President Tinubu in his inaugural speech said that no provisions of the previous government for petroleum subsidy was included in the handover?

Just as usual you passed a law of legislation, then turn around to blame someone else?

You also exhibited your ignorance on subsidy, a God fearing and lover of her citizens will first consider the implication of their action. Even with PIA you claim, buhari extend the subsidy till the end of June after his tenure. What stops emilokan to make other supplement budget to cover another six months, or even why must he stop it in May when the appropriation act covers June. That apart, those of you that say no appropriation for the rest of the year, the question is, is there appropriation for renovation of houses in Lagos where they are not even stay, is there appropriation for cars, is there appropriation for yacht? Since he can make supplementary budget for all these, why cant he make the same for the subsidy which is only benefit the masses enjoy from our maximum rulers. This will make the memory of our blessed former leader Yaradua linger in our memory as good leader, when Obasanjo wanted to hand our power to him he increase fuel price, but people's leader he is, brought back the price when he assumed power.

When was presidency become spoke person of judiciary, or there is no more separation of power or are they been fixed together?

They shall keep wailing, so please allow them wail, wailing is in their DNA
They were the ones shouting go to Court now no favor them, the next anthem is democracy is in danger, but when that OBI is a boy won through court twice the judiciary was working?

OBI and his clown 🤡 are a comedians and they have 7 more years to wail

ASE dey pain them e dey Sweet us and as he dey sweet us omo e dey pain them. 🎵 🎶

Obi won at that time because there was justice by then, and judges rule according to law, but today justice if for highest bidder in many of our courts. That is why we always have conflicting judgment from different courts.
