The best part of this result is the total defeat of Akpata, and I say that as a Bini man. The Binis have always been fair in our politics, we even voted for Oshiomhole against one of our own. It was quite wrong of Akpata to contest after 8 years if another Bini man being governor. In Edo we are 3 children of one father. It's the turn of our Esan siblings to rule

This is the simple truth.

It really no longer matters who is president, if we do not re-structure this country, nothing will work. The only difference with somebody like Perter Obi as president, as that he would try to block some of the more obvious wastages, but ultimately he would find the system too broken to really fix.
If Nigerians REALLY want to move the nation forward to prosperity and development, then the call must be for a total restructure of the federation closer to what was on ground in the first republic

Sermwell:
A country of stupid people!! This is what you all deserve!

The most stupid people on this planet. In a sane country ACP should not have won a single state after the mess Buhari made, but low intelligence Nigerians voted on ethnic and religious basis for basket case, who could not even show up for any debate. Now the same people are complaining all over the place. Their suffering is just starting. By the time Tinubu and his goons finish with Nigeria, Doctors and Lawyers will be riding bicycle to work

Nonsense NLC. when OBJ tried to sell Kaduna and PH refineries to Dangote, NLC were among those that kicked against it. The reversal of that sale allowed NNPC and the cabals to continue to wreck our economy for over 2 decades Now we are all seeing the consequences you are complaining. Yeye dey smell. We must all 'Chop Breakfast' for this country. Its the only way our eyes will open

Where is the charging network across the country? Even in the developed world, charging network are still patchy in many areas.

The focus should be on gas which is readily available in large quantities.

Kobojunkie:
More like the reward of bad citizenry! Citizens cannot sit with arms folded electing criminals into office each election cycle yet expect things to magically turn out well. Never in the history of the world has it ever worked out that way.

What we have in Nigeria are clear examples of bad/terrible citizens who don't really care for the collective welfare of the country and its people. They may say they do with their tongues but action, they say, speaks louder than words!

100%. Nigerians are the worst citizens on earth. Corrupt and selfish. Thats why all this lawless impunity can thrive.

Sorry but Nigerians are to blame for all this.
They continue to elect bad leaders
They continue to celebrate ill gotten wealth
They continue to shun anything good and proper, and instead value short cuts and 'get rich quick'

I have NO SYMPATHY for Nigerians. The day I see a Nigerian criticize his/her own Parents/Siblings/Friends for corruption, is the day I will know we have started being serious. Nigerians only complain when they are not the ones looting. The moment they or those close to them get into a position to loot, they will keep quiet and join the looting train

These moves have NOTHING to with Dangote refinery. Europe is moving away from fossil fuel. Oil firms are taking long term strategic decisions to align with this.

Tinubu will soon send trailers of rice to them

It seems BAT did not eat rice as a kid. The way he seems think rice is the answer to all problems

CodeTemplarr:
The previous presidents used the dollar supply im advance. No forex to sell as usual and that means FG is short of forex to defend the Naira. Do you have any other ideas or just want to oppose for the sake of politics? Share them if you have any.

Thank you. Too many people simply don't understand what Buhari did to this country. It will take at least a decade to recover from his misrule

Kobojunkieee:
There is nothing indefinite about what Nigeria had in place. Even China continues to peg its currency to its advantage to this day and no one knows when it intends to stop doing so.

The definition of devaluing the Nigerian currency was a terrible one made by Tinubu.

Are you really comparing China and Nigeria, China can afford to peg their currency, due to their massive trade balance with the US. Nigeria practically imports everything upto toothpicks, how can such a nation, with a massive demand for dollars, maintain an artificial rate? It's simply not possible. Nigerians need to face facts

Kobojunkieee:
You make Tinubu seem even more a fool with this claim of yours.

The CBN is not a commercial bank and so its giving of a special rate to Dangote alone meant it was illegally acting in a capacity it ought not to. That problem is easily resolved without jeopardizing the value of the Naira for all Nigerians if we are indeed to assume that was what Tinibu's intention was. But that is obviously not the truth. We all know this now.

Dangote was just an exemple of those that gained from the former system. The bottom line is No nation can maintain an artificial value for its currency indefinitely. Sooner or later the currency needs to be allowed to find its true level.

I hold no brief for Tinubu or any other Nigerian politician, but let's please try and face facts. Tinubu did NOT devalue the niara. All he did was remove the fake 'official rate' that used to exist, which was nothing more than a CBN subsidized rate, that was only available for the likes of Dangote and co. Who on this platform ever got FX at the so called CBN rate? Nowhere in the world does that kind of nonsense exist.
Tinubu has a LOT of faults, but at least he's facing a few of the issues that have held this nation back for so long. Sadly due to his own corruption and neopotic tendencies he will not be able to move the nation forward in any substantial way.

The suffering many are experiencing os due to widespread rot in thr system. State and local governments allowed the primary and secondary schools to rot, due to corruption, hence the reason many people now need to pay private school fees. In the developed world its only the very rich that send kids to private schools. Nigeria has not been working for a long time.

VaginaAcademic:
These niggas out here Bisusuing their ignorant black asses while the rest of the world are advancing technologically and otherwise. These niggas are still in the medieval dark ages. Where was this Bisusu when the colonial masters came and ransacked Benin kingdom in 1897 WTF

Very stupid statement.
India sends rockets to space, has nuclear weapons and is a global leader in IT, that does not stop them have traditions. 31st October the whole nation will come to a halt to celebrate the Diwali festival. A people can have culture and traditions while also developing and being modern.
You may have also noticed during the coronation of King Charles last year, there were some parts of the ceremony that were kept hidden. Even the British have there own ancient traditions and customs.

Tinubu's govt is fast becoming a fascist govt even worse than the Abacha regime

Nonny95:
Nawa o

Insecurity - Rice
Fuel scarcity-rice
Flood - rice
High cost of living-rice

Dollar hike - rice

Rice Regime, What has rice got to do with flood victims?

They use rice curse this govt!!

GEJ is no fool. The same North that chased him out, now want to use him to unseat Tinubu. They go wait tire. The man has everything at the moment. He's internationally respected as a statesman, does not want for anything, why would he now come and help the same people who insulted him and chased him from office.
Northerners always think they are smart, and they can find a greedy southerner to do their dirty work for them, this time have failed. It's either Tinubu or Obi in 2027. End of story

Thunder fire you!!
Have we not all seen cases of super tankers lifting Nigeria oil illegally? What's been done about? You are the NSA, do your damm job or resign, we don't need all these pointless statements.

Caleycash:
It'll only get worst!... there's no sugar coating it, 97% of Nigerians are delusional, myopic, corrupt and innately foolish, how can a sane nation have Tinubu as their president?, our choices in life reflects on who we are truly, people living fake and unrealistic lifestyle everywhere and you expect the economy to prosper??, Pathetic JOKERS!

Harsh but soooo true. In a sane country APC should not have a won a single state in the last election, based on Buhari's misrule. You will fined so called educated people defending Tinubu simply because of tribalism. Things were a fraction of this, when they came out to do 'occupy Nigeria' now they are all quiet. Soyinka, Bakare, Femi Kuti, Adeboye... all have gone quiet. How can so called intelligent people be so stupid?

Antoeni:
NO BE SMALL WAHALA... When you don pay the balance of your rent wey remains, pay the security levy for the area, pay the electric bill, pay school fees for the children, and buy all the books & school materials needed for the term. When you just dey hang on there with empty account dey pray make month end -- then boom - gas finish, Gotv subscription expires, data finish, & milo, milk & sugar finish all at once. Transport to work next day no dey.

Nah that time you go understand why your Father been dey sidon alone outside for night when everybody don sleep.

I Celebrate 🍾🥂 all Men who carry a heavy burden on their shoulders.
May God bless the works of your hands, Amen...

Bless you bro. A man's lot is not an easy one, and we men do not really share. Na to just sit down dey look moon for night, if you lucky dey cut one small alcohol join.

na lie O, Tinubu must stay till 2031. The tribalistic and religious basis mentality of the SW And NW/NE needs more time to be totally reset, and Peter Obi needs more time to learn!!

However bad it is now, just know it's going to get a LOT worse. The global economy is focused to slow next year, meaning a sharp reduction in crude prices. Nigeria US already effectively broke, and the situation will get a lot worse.
My advice anyone who has access to secure land go into farming.

Axis313:
Whatever the investment,it must not include GMO products o.
The man is at the forefront of advocating for GMO seeds and products for African countries,but some people thinks it is a good thing,but it is an evil plan to the core.
If you use the GMO seeds for your planting,yes you will have a very very bounty harvest,more than 400% of the normal seeds,but the seeds you get from the GMO harvest can never be use for another planting season unless you go back to the company that sold the previous seeds to you to buy another seeds to plant.
As time goes on the land will started to reject normal seeds except GMO seeds only.
Their plan with this GMO stuff if it succeed is to eventually enslave Africans and also to control the population.

100%. We can't relay on the old cargoes to defend us on this one. The youths need to mobilize and on the lookout, else they and their unborn generations will be slaves to GMO masters in the US.
Also remember that Gates has clearly stated in the past that the worlds population is too large and needs to be reduced. Where do you think he sees the reduction coming from?

"...He also encouraged the adoption of innovative crop varieties with higher yields and greater resistance to pests, such as the new cassava varieties developed with support from the Gates Foundation...."

GM crops loading. Keep Gates away from anything to do with food. The man is evil

The cabal want to ensure they don't loose out. What they loose from reduced fuel import, they will make back from resell of Dangote fuel

LordBiden:
But sorry a toilet cleaner wont be able to afford a home.

Even if he takes a mortgage it will take him like 35yrs.

Can a bank manager afford a home in Nigeria?

Tinubu does not need to rig. As long as the opposition is divided, and the notrh continues to refuse to support the SE, Tinubu is guaranteed a second term.
If Atiku announces that he will not be contesting in 2027, then I'll know the opposition is serious.

This man is a strong believer in reducing the global population. We should be VERY careful in any dealings with him

A couple can happen and the SW won't do a darn thing, except make noise. If they try anything it will be civil war part 2, this time SE and Northern troops will crush them

mcquin:


I don’t like Obaseki, but the Oghoghobi people ought to have done their findings before purchasing government land. Just walk into EdoGIS, conduct a search on the land you want to buy and you game.

Again, Obaseki performed abysmally in road development. I stay on PZ road off Sapele Road. Going home is hectic as Sapele Road is in bad shape. Obaseki can argue for all we care that Sapele Rod is FG road, but na Edo indigenes Dey stay there and he can do more than wait for FG or put up notices that it is a FG road. However, in terms of human capital development and civil service, Obaseki will get an A1, quote me anywhere. If you are in Benin, I can take you around and show you that.

That said, Asuen himself has a rich CV that we cannot look away from. Same with Akpata. If it’s your company, will you leave the both and employ Okpebolor?

My brother on the matter of roads, Obaseki hands are tied. Do you think if he had the ability to fix roads like Sapple road, he would not have done it? All na contract! In Edo we are so unlucky that so many roads are federal roads, due to our geography. Obaseki is nit to blame
