Nonsense. Look hoe the rushed to push this irrelevant news out.

They just rushed to arrest one person so they could be seen as doing some work. How many do they want to arrest? Tinubu is the issue.....keep arresting individuals, as long as the collective drive to push Tinubu out is not arrested, its okay.

Besides, those are not Russian flags...

This one seems to be high on cheap drugs. He doesn't know what he is saying. He is just shouting like a druggie...Try it nah!...Try it nah!!!

The bigger issue is that the thoughtless currency devaluation is even the bigger problem informing inflation, much more than the subsidy removal. Currently, the government can not claim not to be subsidising petroleum products. They know that.

Thats incorrect.

pingpong1:
Not sure it leaked per se. What I know is that it is normally given to the press in advance and clearly marked NOT TO BE BROADCAST BEDORE 7AM 4TH AUGUST 2024. Trust Sahara Reporters not to comply.

If this is true, then, this man is done for. His government is infiltrated, just like Jonathan's. He is likely gone soon.

Shhhhh!!...With these 3 things...his government will bounce back...he won't listen...he is doomed already

hisgrace090:
The only solution Nigerians want from Tinubu is for him to return this 3 things we're he met them,
1, petrol price.
2, naira to dollar price.
3, electricity price..
Your palliatives annoys Nigerians, just do this and know peace.

Doomsday president

How can you legislate what you sis not produce...expecially what you said it was not low quality

Can you borrow brains if you do not have any??

NewHe:
They will buy everything with nothing left for the giant of Africa!
A proactive government will quickly legislate on metric tonnes to be reserved for the domestic economy and
The ECOWAS Market!

Imagine the fool, asking the ordsd not to give airing or time to protesters....so that the looters will continue unhindered...some of these semi literate boys scout who calm themselves army or soldiers or wetin fem be....people wey no fit face boko haram one on one, dey threaten fellow citizens

Nobody will revolt. Oponu!!
You can't protest against your oppressors who are killing you with hunger but you want to revolt and die because they are removed...only you and your rlfamily will revolt

vowiski:
Nigeria is too big for a coup to occur ..

Even if Tinubu sleeps all night during the protest , a coup will never happen ..

If it mistakenly happens, Nigerians will revolt ..

...thank you for saying No to bad governance. Even if the "fraud" of a president does not change all his bad policies immediately, your voices have been heard loud and clear. Globally, the world is taking notice. Well done. I am proud of you all.

The good news about this protest is that this useless and clueless, senile thief, currently parading himself ad the president of Nigeria is not only jittery, the second term he thought was assured some weeks back is no longer certain.....he who kills by the sword...

I'm proud of you all

Only you and your family will defend a failure, a corrupt, selfish thief.. speak for yourself and your family. If anything go happen to Tinubu...make e happen....

Zulu11zulu:
We will defend tinubu if this madness is to have over power to them.

Though yeruba people contribute to hand power to Fulani in 2015 but not the issue for now.

We now shatima is a green stake he say good things in the media and planning evil at back door.

Tinubu: I was a brilliant certified public Accountant. I got my CPA in the US, State of Illinois.

CPA/AICPA(Illinois, USA): Nope, we don't know you. In fact, all our records show that you never even attempted our exams because you were not qualified to write them.

Tinubu: ....but I became a certified accountant by the virtue of graduating from University of Chicago....sorry, Chicago state University

CPA/AICPA: That does not make you a chartered or public certified accountant. You still need to write and pass our exams. Besides...our check with Chicago state University did return with a name closest to yours, but as a female. We don't support identity theft as an institution. We do not know you.

Tinubu: ...oh...I.meant I was an accountant, not a certified public accountant

What "progress", if i may ask you?

trutharena:
These threats against our president TINUBU are nothing but desperate attempts by those who cannot handle his progress. It's clear that some people are afraid of the positive changes he is bringing to Nigeria. We stand strong with TINUBU; he will not be intimidated by empty threats!

Jubilations in your own crazy and warped mind

trutharena:
Jubilations all over Nigeria as President TINUBU stands firm for the rights of citizens! A true leader prioritizing peace and safety.

This is the most stupid government I have ever seen.

Lol...whether you plan to fail or fail to plan, so long as you are in Nigeria, Tinubu's disastrous economic policies will hit you hard. Carry on!
Cluelessness at another level unprecedented in Nigeria history

Krankhead:
You don't even know what you are saying.Im nit and will never be one of you people that fail.to.plan and waiting for govt to spoon feed him

...more self inflicted...effect of taking too much gbanah before making decisions

Bovis:
Aside the inclusion of the lead by example in this list, the other demands are either self inflicted or unrealistic because Nigeria is broke

Lol...by then you would have been eating yourselves alive on the streets of Lagos due to hunger and economic recession....carry on

Krankhead:
BAT will win 2027 and nothing Will happen..This are the people.that lost out of APC especially that woman that defected to PDP shortly before the election

I see Tinubu not coming back again after this disastrous term. He is going....going...

Lol....
Just like the change of the national anthem that the discussion started like play like play bybtedting the waters first, these people are toying with the ways and means.
I have said it many times here, this government, after exhausting foreing borrowings, will turn to ways and means or additional taxation as the only other options left to battle the self inflicted economic disaster. Additional Tax is a no no for now, leaving just one option. The same ways and means they had lampooned Buharis administration for several times.

The government is about to begin to borrow from CBN through ways and means again hence the discussion to increase the limit id being tested at the Nat. Assembly.

The type of inflation that will hit Nigeria henh!, Zimbabwe will be like paradise compared to it.

These mofos don't know what they are doing...get them out fast!!

Mumu....check your life during Buhari's tenure and now..... and then read what you posted below again...now slowly

...soon you will be eating the flesh of your relatives alive for food at the rate Tinubu is going

PARADIZEPRIEST:
TINUBU IS FAR BETA THAN BUHA WHO NEVA ACT TILL PROTEST TURN VIOLENT NAIJA PROBLEM IS BUHARI LRT HIM TELL US WHERE THE 90BILLION DOLLAR HE COLLECTED FOR 8YEARS DEY

There was no need to devalue the naira. Even all economic theorists agree that it is suicidal for a developing nation to float its currency when it produces little or nothing and is facing negative macroeconomic indices like rising inflation, increasing unemployment, reducing productivity, etc.

That stupid and thoughless decidion alone, destroyed his government. He can never recover.

Remman:
What Tinubu should have done before floating the naira and removing subsidy.
1. Scrap domiciliary accounts and link Nigeria (using CBN) directly to International Automated Clearing House (ACH) without going through a third-party (ECOWAS) so that our currency will reflect directly on the international market. This move would make it possible for any individual via the local banks to receive foreign currencies directly converted into the Naira into his/her account. This means anyone anywhere in the world can send you money and you will receive it in Naira directly without going to your domiciliary account that would need an exchanger in order to convert to Naira.
2. Force all foreign companies both in the oil sector and the ones handling any government project like housing and road projects to pay all their workers (especially the foreign workers) in Naira. For instance Korean, Italian, Chinese, and others licenced to operate in Nigeria with their CAC number don't pay their foreign workers and some high ranking positions occupied by Nigerians in Naira. With a strong order that all business transactions in Nigeria must happen in Naira will boost the currency's value against any foreign currencies. Also, this will stop all politicians from transacting in dollars during elections to further weaken the Naira.
3. There is enough land in the North (Sambisa for instance) that can be taken by the government for business purposes. How to do this, build military barracks comprising Army, Air force, Navy including police barracks in Sambisa forest, then secure a large part of the forest for farm purposes by leasing or loaning it to real estate agents specialised in farming to farm on the land with instructions to produce rice, beans, yams, tomatoes, etc. (all other essential foods in Nigeria) and flood the Nigerian market with excessive food products since Sambisa forest alone is larger than 2 southern geopolitical zones combined in landmass. This means we can feed ourselves and the entire West Africa if we actually want to, our problem is that a tribe can claim this some day but if it is taking as a national property just as in crude oil, there won't be any problem at all, secondly, the government can through the media enlighten Nigerians that we're one.
4. Ensure that Nigeria has at least 2 working refinery that can actually refine crude oil.
5. Give large grants or high long term loans amounting to over N10million minimum capital to any individual or agents who is willing to start a manufacturing business in any field (technology, electronics, web development, poultry, etc.) in Nigeria, then the government own a 20% stake in it as part of the agreement for the individual or agents to acquire the loan or grant (China did this and their products are all over the world, there's nothing wrong if we adopt this).
6. (This one is not too late) Force all social media and search engine algorithms to prioritise business, artistic, and scientific related models on their sites within Nigeria just like China did. For instance, if this is implemented, it means that when you open Tik-tok or do some search online, instead of seeing girls twerking their butts, you would see stuffs like "how to grow crops as a farmer", "how to generate electricity from permanent magnets", "how to create a host a website by self", etc. kind of contents especially for all youths at and below 25 years old online.
After the above, then floating the Naira and removal of subsidy would be very helpful than just pulling it off without any single plan.

They can help Nigerians too

Lol....there is no end to the stupidity of Nigerians. Now it is no longer subsidy issue but that petrol should be sold profitably....by who??

The same stupid narratives they told the gullible ones that if they removed subsidy, there will be plenty of petrol products without hindrance and government will have e enough money to take care of other needs. That did not happen.

Subsidy is removed, now it is profitability's narrative they're selling to the gullible ones ans this mugu too is spreading it.....very stupid people

nairalanda1:
He should, but it should be noted that the same fuel crisis has always existed in one form or the other since 1976 and tinubu as we know was not the man in charge. ( His master buhari was petroleum minister though, but until 1979)

The main reason for this crisis is simple. Fuel is not being sold profitably. If fuel was sold profitably there would be no scarcity.

That is why for over 4 decades now, various government and nnpc bosses and economic experts have repeatedly told us that removing fuel subsidies works. Keeping them is why we have this mess.

Ghana and Niger have no fuel subsides. They also produce crude and also have no issues keeping fuel supplied. Even Niger with all the sanctions still has fuel and a working refinery.because they sell fuel at a profit.

Subsides don't work..and sadly the last best chance we had to remove them without hardship was 2012. We said no. Now they cannot be removed without some hardships

Lol....dem wan collect their own share...very useless agency

Who knows igboho? ...a common tout...how you give these people relevance still beats me.....Igboho, Portable, Ibori, Uzor Kalu, Akpabio....etc..these are nonentities

Fool.....so the determinant of your life actions is all about protecting Tinubu and not your own convictions

LegendHero:
It’s possible.

In 2020 I also participated in Endsars protest.

After our protest, I later found out some people had other motives which was to burn down Lagos and go after Tinubu.

That was when I gave myself sense. Portable might have gained some senses too and learnt from his mistake.

He is correct. 200%

2 things:

1. Reverse the devaluation of naira....mint stupid economic decision ever....Buhari was smart to avoid this

2. Reduce cost of governance..

Subsidy is already being paid by the government so no point in making that an issue anymore

Everything else na nonsense

LOL....mumu suggestions

OkCornel:
Francistown

Well Tinubu has taken a crucial step in ensuring functioning refineries are supplied crude oil and they’re billed in naira. I just pray and hope this is not another audio move.

Next step is if the government can subsidise the cost of foodstuffs across major markets in Nigeria. I think Lagos state has a model in place for that. But I’m thinking something more radical and impactful in the short term.

Tinubu’s iyaloja daughter has a key role to play here. If she has the contact of major market heads across the country, mobilise them to organise themselves such that the current stock of commodities is purchased by the government or subsidised by the government, then announce the revised prices. This will kill the current tension overnight.

Next, massive importation of grains and essential commodities for the next 3-6 months to keep prices down.

In the same time frame, intensify efforts to deal with the bandits ravaging farmlands.

Nigeria should be okay within 9 months barring any climate change catastrophe such as drought or flood.
