This must be a Bot.
Otherwise, a human being, no matter how dense he or she is, wouldn't even think this talk more of posting it online.

With all these refineries Nigeria is still importing petroleum products in huge numbers and borrowing to pay subsidy by Tinubu. So how exactly is Nigeria being great?

femtex007:
Good. Nigeria will be great again
God will shame those who are waiting for us to be mocked because we didn't vote for their bad product they tried to impose on us
Better Naija
Up Tinubu
God bless Nigeria

...buffonery of the highest order. Who is talking about number of countries using it. The question is if its still relevant in this current dispensation of sophisticated air weaponry and unmanned air attack and defence crafts. If this is what Nigeria is calling its special air defence unit, then it is more than shameful. It should be hidden and not shown to the public. Some states here have more than these in terms of crafts and support system(support and logisics system make 50% of a warforce)

...and while at it, dunce I do not bneed to use Google unlike you, it is the industry I spent years in before moving to another. Google is meant for knowledge skimmers like you

tutudesz:
Google is your friend, the helicopter is still in production and so many countries are using it

Way to go

When you see people who dont even have the basic idea of economics or finance coming online to talk rubbish, like experts, only to regurgitate the often ballooned half truths and propaganda from the side of the government, which are aimed at beclouding the the poulace so that they could continue to loot unabated, it gives me an idea of how Tinubu got the wrong advices in the first place.

To start with, it is not the subsidy removal that has caused the huge inflation, it is more of a combination of too much naira circulating and the devaluation of the currency. The wrongest decision was accepting to devalue the naira(note that it is not floated as they claim).

Secondly, does this block head below know that subsidy is back, heavier than what Buhari was paying and Tinubu is borrowing to finance subsidy at the moment(World bank/IMF records). So what "bold" decisions were taken if some are being surreptitiously returned?

These dumdums just accept whatever the government dishes out to them as information,hook, line and sinker, without engaging their brains to evaluate whether it is correct or not. Subsidy was gone but is now back and bigger

DeLaRue:
Nigeria is going through an economic transition that should have happened decades ago.

All former Presidents from Obj knew subsidy was unsustainable but none had the courage to remove it.

The moment GEJ saw a few people protesting at Ojota, he panicked and declared he was no longer removing subsidy. You can't blame anybody for leader who lacked courage.

They also knew the refineries were not working. Did Obj, or GEJ revive any of the refineries?

Now we have a courageous leader who has removed the insidious subsidy as other President's should have done.

While subsidy removal has unforunately caused a lot of hardship, not removing it would have caused even worse hardship in the future.

Kenya has its problems. Our problems are different, and I believe Nigeria's economy will start turning the corner before the end of the year.

We do not need a protest here.

Una no know weting una enter for that country Nigeria. Na thief una vote for, abi? Una go see.

That's what he said to you, records show he did bit attend. Just as he claimed he was a CPA, it was denied he ever wrote the exam. He quickly took that away from his CV.

RoyalUc:
Sorry, what was it he studied at CSU again?

Tinubu was never and not an accountant, abeg!!.

RoyalUc:
O helinues!

Whether he's sincere or not, he has clearly shown that:
- He acknowledges there is hardship in the land
- He feels the pain of and empathizes with the citizens unlike those who still live in denial just because of politics
- He has publicly acknowledged that their pay is too bogus and if reduced, the excess could be used to pay Nigerian workers.

Tinubu, being an Accountant, People who are believed to be frugal and judicious in managing resources, he should have done this but rather doing the opposite

You beat me to it.

Look at the nonsense these dafts are parading as cutting edge special air attack equipment

Dogalmighty17:
What a log of garbage. The Huey that the US used in Vietnam is what our army depends on as cutting edge close air support tech? The huey? This platform that was developed in the early 1950s before Nigeria got independence?

In contested airspace where bandits across the North have access to weapon systems that bring down fast moving fighter jets, a huey that its maximum speed is 127mph is just a flying coffin. Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

The US is about to retire several hundred of its A-10 warthogs. That's about the most capable close air support platform around. Since the US is now willing to sell weapon platforms to Nigeria, they might consider selling some A-10s to us. Even though that's a tall order.

2024 and na Huey wey oyibo don forget about since 1950 na him our army fall hand dey buy so. Shebi dem no see blackhawk buy as dem go market?

Commiserate!!!!!!

Mods??

Ignored.

ElSudani:
It is called "crave" not "crace". Now, who is the dim witted idiot? Apologies if you are dyslexic.

Now that official records are out that Tinubu has borrowed more than any government put together in just 3 months, the fool that you are can not comprehend that paying back debts or interest on loans were not the reasons behind the poor economic decisions of your master. He simply got it wrong.

omohayek:
As if all the recycled angry gibberish you wrote demonstrates anything other than your ability to spew the kind of nonsense other ignorant Nairalanders want to read. Do you even have the first clue why Tinubu was forced (yes, forced) to adopt the measures he took in the first place? Do you think he wouldn't have preferred to play to the gallery of entitled semi-illiterates like you for cheap popularity if he had any choice in the matter?

Here's the answer: worldwide interest rates rose sharply over the last 2 years, meaning the cost of servicing all that debt accumulated under both GEJ and Buhari was no longer sustainable for a federal government already burdened with gigantic subsidies on both petrol and electricity. Something had to give, and if Tinubu had chosen to default on foreign loans for the sake of keeping fuel and electricity prices artificially low, Nigeria would have been cut off from international financial markets for a decade or more, and the current hardship you think you're enduring would seem like a luxury holiday by comparison.

Honestly, it's tiresome seeing all of you loudmouths confidently rambling on about matters of which you have absolutely no comprehension. You're the same sorts of buffoons who think you can tell Christian Ronaldo how he should be playing while sitting in bukas nursing your pot bellies with bottles of stout.

Shhh! Ignore.
There are some dim-witted born idiots that are not worth a glance when they post. They are justifying their stipends and you are helping them by engaging them to give them relevance( which they crace anyways)

Put on permanent Ignore and move in.

puzzlegate:
. Rubbish , is this the subject of discussion or you are drunk ?

I dont want to believe the quote below is from a human being

spiSeyi:
This is just a mere political talk can he is say that if he is the president. Imagine a whole Nigeria president using 24yrs Air Force 1. After all, PBAT won't take the jet with him after leaving office. If Tinubu needs 4 personal jet in. a day he can afford it. Dele & those that are against the purchase of jet are saying it out of hatred

You think they dont know their lives and destinies are worse in the hands of their fellow africans? Give a good thing to black man and watch hiwbit gets destroyed in days. Examples
SA, Nigeria

APOPTOSIS:
You Guys are still rushing to same whites you blame for everything including recent continental disasters.
Same whites you blame for snatching your destiny through slave trade.
Isn't this worse than Slave trade era...?
At least during slave trade, humans were conveyed with vessels.

This is despicable and appalling.
The reason there is a surge in crime rate in across Europe. Those countries may legalize Guns like the U.S.

Anything to wake the drug lord up from his slumber at Aso rock is welcomed

Question is, how does Regionalism prevent same systemic corruption, irresponsible governance and improve security? So basic a question. Leave comments about Tinubu aside.

We are quick to catch on current trend and phrases as populist ideas just because one mofo suggested it as lazy and poorly thought through solutions to Nigeria's problem and everyone latches to it. Before it was Parliamentary system of government that was a solution, now, it is Regionalism. As if the people who will run the Regional governments are going to come from heaven as a special breed of incorruptible and effective ones with magic wands.

On God knows know the breed of stupidity that Nigerians have, it s an incurable one.
Not surprised though, as Ford Coppola said, "Never estimate the power of idiots in a large number in a society, they can elect one of them to lead the society"...that is what is happening to Nigeria now.

seunayantokun:
I don't think my opinion stops you from hating Tinubu if you believe that solves Nigeria's problems. But I'm entitled to my opinion on how the evil duo of systemic corruption and insecurity which have resulted in the present economic woes can be dealt with.

Hogwash! What can Regionalism do?
Nigeria was comatose before but the plugs were pulled off the life support machine by the current heno smoker of a president.

seunayantokun:
It is myopic to not see this from the root. Those whose object of blame is only the present administration at the federal level have not looked at it properly. For me, systemic corruption which started long ago and insecurity created by 'we-must-always-be-in-power-at-all-cost' Fulani chief executive terrorists and and their foot soldiers have resulted in the present. The only solution to start with is either going back to regionalism or breaking up. If we don't want the latter, at least the former remains desirable. Those shouting for Peter Obi and against Tinubu should not forget both of them are parts and parcel of the present suffering, and none of them can do anything until you change the devil's book of suffering you call the 1999 Constitution.

1000% correct...or if you have the means, get your family out first...Nigeria is gone

UnitedKingdom:
Nigerians never see anything yet. The worst is yet to come. If you have means just try and Japa before the wave hit you. Nigeria is gone.

What is he saying? Incoherence and gibberish conjecture

Check my posts on nairaland, I have said it more than 100 times here. I am still shocked that Nigerians are yet to grasp the damage and calamity Tinubu has brought to Nigeria. I am amazed at at the resilience in the face of sufferings Nigerians have. If they truly understand the damage and the impending impoverishment, they would all be on the streets now protesting.

Dont want to believe this is a normal human being

Isaacc729l:
Oga, make una leave APC alone! Dem don try for this country, na Labour Party and Peter Obi followers dey spread fake news. Na dem be the real damage to Nigeria.

Look at the malu talking, as if he doesnt know the President, the senate president and all those surrounding them are the king of corruption. Idiot has only succeded in prosecuting Bobriskywith all his noise.

I don't think Nigerians have understood the effect of Tinubus calamitous economic policies yet...I shudder at the magnitude of it but more shocked about the calmess of Nigerians at the looming destructions facilitated by the brazen stupidity in those decisions.

Very poor job at defending a failure. Look for another job.

APC should seek for a refund for the brazen lies you put down here.

Themanleshey:
So we should leave someone that performed as 8 years governor and follow Obi that have nothing to show for 8 good years ?

Tinubu gave autonomy to local government , and even created more Local government that made Obasanjo seize his allocation for almost 4 years .

Obi enjoyed his full allocation but never conducted local government elections nor create more local government for 8 years .

Tinubu built schools , but your Obi did not build school for 8 years .

Tinubu created RRS , special police square for Lagos and they were well equipped , what did Obi do in terms of security .

Tinubu Increased Lagos IGR from less that a billion to 15 billion in less that 8 years , Obi IGR was stagnant for 8 good years ! Shame !

Tinubu , went out of his way and Nigeria constitution to invest in power project just to make sure Lagos electricity improve , states are not allowed to generate power but he went out of his way and invested in PPI projects , what was Obi investments to power projects?

Do you think we are fools ? You only voted Obi because he’s your tribal man not because he was a performer !

He was never a performer !

Now Nigeria does not borrow loan like previous government

Allocation to states have increased by 46 % , hold your governors accountable .

Nigeria now pay and service their debts , both foreign and loans debts .

Last administration did not invest in agriculture in that last 1 years of his tenure , like they traditionally do yearly , was why there is scarcity of food .

This government has invested massively in agriculture and we expect price of food to come down .

Subsidy is gone on jet fuel , diesel , kerosine . Partially on petrol and it will end as soon as dangote refinery start producing fuel .

In terms of security , bandits are now referred to as territories , they are now killing them in mass , unlike previous government where they remained untouchable .

Blame game!

There was a quick supplemetary budget to buy a yatch a new cars for the president and the first lady though.

jmoore:
Una go explain tire!

If Tinubu inherited a dead economy, then he is about to bury it. Tinubu don put 9ja economy in the mortuary.

The clown is still blaming Buhari for removal of subsidy, stating Buhari didn't include petrol subsidy in the budget.
What happened to supplementary budget? What a dumb defense!

Lol
How does devaluing your currency give your equilibrium?

Rather, it has killed whatever remained of the Nigerian economy. Lets see what you will say in 1 year from now when the impact of the daft decision fully sets into your economy.

New York Times were not stupid neither are they IPObs when they wrote that article. The worst economic decision of the entire Nigerian life.

Isaacc729l:
I fully support Tinubus decisions to devalue Naira, a necessary measure for economic equilibrium, and denounce any protests against his government as the work of mischief makers

One of the dumbest posts ever.

And your governmeny keep asking for foreing investments?

Atarakpa:
All this foreign companies here in Africa contribute a lot in our economy crises by looting our dollars in the name of repatriating funds and raw material. Which you can't do in their country Africa wake up and put stop to this.

Get out of the country if you can

JDhotral4:
No sign nigeria will be a better place to liue, i pity the youth that can fight for thier right and coming generation

Will you shut up?

You think all Yorubas support him or there are no strong Ibos that are supporting him too...including highly placed ones...

ojinuocheibi:
Factually I really thought the yorooba people are reasonable people if not until this timubu administration that I now realize that the extent of their vision end on tribalism.

His children are all abroad enjoying benefits of obodo oyinbo but other people's children should die put...mbano!!

Real inflation is near 150%
That dense of a man voted for president has finished the country patapata

Lol

Daft, you have nothing to debate about anyway.

Project is a fraud between Tinubu and the Lebanese
Just like the Lekki Epe Road by HITec, it will be abandoned and bought back by the Government at an exorbitant price, using your money. While idiots like you lack basic amenities to make life simpler and more meaningful...no portable water, bad roads, no electricity, poorest health facilities, insecurity, no fuel/scarcity, yet you will celebrate commissioning of a conduit for siphoning your collective wealth to private pockets abroad....your big loss...
To you, that is an achievement, but to those who value life, there is more to commissioning a road to be tolled while you face proverty, lack, insecurity, and certain death if you ever get injured in an accident in Nigeria(you will weep for Nigeria if you go to any Govt hospital or Teaching hospitals and see how people die just because of lack of basic things like electricity and water to carry out emergency operations, things that are in surplus abroad here). There is a reason the life expectancy of Nigerians is low...keep deluding yourself and celebrating mediocrity. You have one life to live, waste it on being a cheerleader of those who have sold your generational inheritance. Oponu!

Ikumapkayi:
There is no point involving you in a logical debate as I can see you are enemy of anything good. If you like continue to wail and rant, the project is on course and first phase would be commissioned next year
