Obviously, this is coming from someone with a bitter experience from childhood. She sure have not gotten over whatever bad experiences from either the Yellow coloured folks. She needs counseling and not condemnation.

May his gentle soul find rest in the bosom of the Lord. Amen

That's my problem with these set of politicians. They say a thing with their senses intact, when there is backlash they say they were quoted out of context or their words were taken out of context. Haba mana.

THE QUESTION I KEEP ASKING: WHAT HAVE WE REALLY GAINED?

I have tried to understand and, in fairness, give this government the benefit of the doubt. When President Tinubu removed the fuel subsidy, we were told it was a difficult but necessary decision. We were told that the money saved would be redirected into things that would improve the lives of Nigerians.

Many people accepted the pain because they believed there would be light at the end of the tunnel.

But honestly, where is that light?

Today, the ordinary Nigerian is hurting.

The price of food has gone through the roof. Transport fares have become a burden. Rent is rising. School fees are rising. Electricity and healthcare are becoming increasingly difficult to afford. Small businesses are struggling to survive, and many families are simply doing everything possible to get through each month.

And this is where my concern comes in.

While the ordinary man is being told to sacrifice, we continue to hear about huge government spending on official residences, vehicles, aircraft and other government assets.

Yes, I understand that a government needs official facilities and equipment to function. I am not saying Nigeria should have no presidential aircraft or government vehicles.

But should we not also ask questions about priorities?

When a mother cannot afford to feed her children properly, when a young graduate cannot find work, and when a businessman is struggling to keep his doors open because of the cost of doing business, shouldn't government spending be subjected to serious scrutiny?

We were told: “Remove the subsidy now, and tomorrow will be better.”

Nigerians have endured the “now.”

We are still waiting for the “better tomorrow.”

If subsidy removal has saved the country substantial money, then Nigerians deserve to know clearly:

How much has been saved?
Where has the money gone?
What has it achieved?
How many jobs have been created?
How many hospitals and schools have been improved?
What has been done to make food and transportation more affordable?

These are not questions from people who hate Nigeria. They are questions from citizens who love their country and are tired of struggling.

I don't believe Nigerians are asking government for luxury. We are asking for a decent life.

We want to wake up and know that hard work can actually put food on the table.

We want our children to have opportunities.

We want businesses to survive.

We want affordable transportation, reliable electricity, decent healthcare and security.

Most importantly, we want to feel that the sacrifices we are making today are actually building a better Nigeria tomorrow.

Nigerians are resilient, yes. But our resilience should not be taken for granted.

A government that asks its people to sacrifice must also be prepared to show the people where their sacrifice is going.

That is all I am asking.

Not propaganda.
Not excuses.
Not blame games.

Just accountability, transparency and a better quality of life for the ordinary Nigerian.

Because at the end of the day, government is not about the comfort of those in power.

It is about the people.

And after all the sacrifices Nigerians have made, I believe we have every right to ask:

When will we begin to feel the benefits?

I honestly regret supporting H E. Similaye Fubara governor of RS. What is happening today raises serious questions about loyalty, sacrifice, and the value placed on those who stood by him when the political battle was at its fiercest.

Politics is not only about reconciliation when the storm is over; it is also about remembering the people who stood with you when the storm was raging. If this reconciliation is truly about healing and bringing everyone together, then it should not overlook those who stood firmly in the trenches—people like the Honourable Representatives, Rt Jumbo, Rt Edison (PhD), Hon.Evans Bipi, Engr.Ismael Oforibika, Barr.Mela Oforibika, Barr. Christian Itamunoala, my humble self and many eminent others to numerous to mention who played their part during the struggle.

Where are these people today? Have their sacrifices suddenly become irrelevant?

There is a powerful lesson here for everyone in politics: never forget those who stood with you when standing with you came at a cost. People may forgive political differences, but they rarely forget betrayal or being abandoned after making sacrifices.

Perhaps this is why the wisdom often expressed as “Don’t die in another man’s war” remains so relevant. Before you sacrifice everything for someone else's political battle, ask yourself what happens when the battle is over and the same people you fought for no longer remember who stood beside them.

Reconciliation is good, but genuine reconciliation should be broad, sincere, and inclusive. It should recognize not only those who are present at the table today, but also those who helped build the table when there was no guarantee that anyone would ever sit at it. BAN.

How many of those who stole your money through manipulating figures, contracts inflation, etc have you asked to be put to death? Rape cases should dealt with as the prescribed penalties

If the Nigerian Police is not guilty of the same attitude, let them go arrest/fish them this animals out.

This type of crime is still happening in our society perpetrated by some wicked politicians and bizness men.

What is GF day? Is it one of the holidays?
Whatever, the lady should be grateful her boyfriend went through the trouble to pen down a message for her. Just give him his flowers 💐

What's the significance of the practice of dismembering the corpse of a king before burial? Indeed culture of a people is unique.
In place, we do this if the person was evil in his/her lifetime.

It should be clear to separate Tinubu/Nigeria with Ecowas. This kind of sentiment is what is keeping Nigeria 🇳🇬 on its knees. The Chairman of Ecowas and not Nigeria taken the decision to go to war if deplomacy fails.

RIP Sound sultan. My sincere condolences to his family and friends

These guys are scum.

Thank you for the clarification. I was thinking the government was trying to do something funny

We warned Nigerians, you didn't listen. We are in this together

Pour around your vicinity with a gallon of diesel or get the area fumigated

Really

This governors keep talking about reducing workers salaries without cutting down on their political aides and the cost of running their government. Civil servants are on their desk without jobs to do because their jobs have taken over by political appointees. If we purge our systems a lot of funds will freed for meaningful projects.

Happy birthday to you Sammy. It is the Lord's doing. I wish you all the very best

The Nigerian Airforce should do something about the aircrafts in their fleet. Nigeria can't be spending scarce resources buying aircraft and they keep falling down from the skies. This is one to many
