Yeah, Tinubu raised everyone around him...except ...YOU

DrTee1:
Consider making this response after an eloquent speech made by your opposite debater on Channels TV.

Do you think the receiving audience would clap for you over such retort without stating facts to back up your assertions, unlike the person you responded to?

There goes your irony.

DrTee1:
The irony of Olusegun Obasanjo’s "drunken sailor" critique is a historical inversion. He was not the physician, but the architect of the very structural decay the current government is now forced to repair

1. The Creator of the "Big Government" Parasite:
Obasanjo institutionalized the bloated cost of governance he now decries. He pioneered the culture of innumerable Special Advisers and political aides; this federal template was replicated across 36 states, creating a recurrent expenditure trap that swallows the majority of the national budget. He turned the Presidency into a "honey pot" of patronage, making Nigerian politics a "do-or-die" struggle for centralized resources.

2. The Debt Relief Myth vs. Refineries Failure:
While he boasts of the 2005 debt relief, he essentially "bought" it by paying $12.4 billion upfront from oil reserves. He failed to use that clean slate to fix the energy sector; instead, he spent billions on refinery maintenance with zero results. His failed attempt to sell those refineries in a flawed process forced the current $20 billion annual "subsidy hole" that makes modern borrowing a mathematical necessity.

3. The "Do-or-Die" Democratic Deficit:
Obasanjo’s moral posturing ignores his own record on election integrity. He oversaw the 2003 and 2007 elections, widely regarded as the most fraudulent in Nigeria's history; by militarizing the polls to "deliver" results, he broke the link between governance and accountability. His attempt to subvert the constitution for a "Third Term" remains the ultimate act of political greed.

4. Revenue Reality vs. Rhetoric:
The facts dislodge his postulation. Under the current fiscal committee led by Taiwo Oyedele, the debt-service-to-revenue ratio has been slashed from 120% in 2022 to approximately 68% in 2026. Unlike the consumption-based borrowing of the past, current funds are tied to productive infrastructure like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.

Conclusively, Obasanjo is criticizing a government for struggling to sail a ship that he built, overstaffed with political crew members, and steered toward a fiscal iceberg. It takes aggressive, unconventional maneuvers to dismantle the "Do-or-Die" economic ruins he left behind.

Timoleon:
It's you who is funny. Inigo martinez is 35, Mane is 34. You forget we are conversing over the internet? Inter Miami did finish 14th in the 2023 regular season the one time out of their long history of 4 seasons. How does this justify your 'traditional bottom 3' title you gave them? Within the same number of years after creation, Leipzig were in the bundesliga contesting for the league. With the right talent and right investments, small teams turn to big teams which is what inter Miami is. A big team.

You mention the people Ronaldo is playing with now forgetting to mention that this is their first season together. Except for mane of course.
Jordi Alba is 37 this year, he was 33 when he joined...busquets the same..suarez is 2 years older than them...but what they being, is far more than anything the mls had to offer.
David vill, Beckham, Ibrahimovic, Carlos vela, higuaiin, Robbie keane, Thierry Henry etc all went there in their mid to late 30s and still outclassed most of the leagues now compare that to a quadruple of great talent who were core to a globally dominating team like Barcelona and a coach who had previously coached them in Europe, a group who have several years playing together as a team in Spain and the champions league and you think it wont be easier?


Anyways, let's not go the subjective route. Let's make this easier. Submit a team in the mls that has a better group of players and coach than the one Messi played with in his first season. I challenge you to find just one team with a better talent poolm

BAT wants to do life....

However I'm not sure where.

Omoh eh! Make una stop to dey lie for unnecessary things. Some people drink, smoke and womanize and last till 70s and above.
Some people also don't take these things but still dies earlier.
Life is just unpredictable and we should take it as it comes

SixSeven:
The simple reason why cheating or a woman is not fit to be polygamous is very simple. She gives birth to the world. If you like argue, women of the old had children for different men. Make una no worry, with time, life will humble You and women find out later in life.

"A woman’s capacity to bond monogamously is inversely proportionate to the number of sexual partners she’s experienced prior to monogamy. Even one prior lover (or even unrequited obsession of hers) can be Alpha enough to upset that bonded monogamous balance." - Book 3, RM

MartinCorridon:
This is Peter Obi's running mate.

ONLY ticket to beat Tinubu before 12 noon

Advantages of having a brave and dogged president.

Standing tall against the minions using human blood 🩸🩸🩸 to tarnish the image of the administration of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

The demigod won’t bow to their antics and will fish them out in no time!

Mightym:
This is not deceit this is strategic alliance. And that is what is needed to uproot the incumbent . If it's going to be a free and open contest then going it alone is possible and will produce result but we all know it's not going to be free and fair. Atiku has what Obi needs to win and Obi has what Atiku needs to win. Infact in this present structure Atiku has more chances to win than Obi. But in an ideal structure Obi has more chances to win. But we know that in this situation it's far from ideal. If we want a structure that will produce a win for all and sundry then that strategic alliance is vital and crucial

AllBlack:
Someone should kindly GIVE OBI PRESIDENT.

remove all the contest and just make him president.

He has promised to do only [s]one round[/s]... sorry One term.

He is an Angel and no need for erection... sorry Election.

At Op ..are you Chinese ? Of what benefit is china to you ? Is china developing Nigeria ? I don't know where your love and worship for China stems from but I believe you're probably thinking that China is different from other colonial superpowers.


For years we have been told that China is Africa's great development partner. The loans are large. The infrastructure is visible. The diplomatic speeches are generous. But the evidence tells a different story.

China is not developing Nigeria or Africa. It is extracting from Nigeria and from the rest of the continent.

Consider the trade numbers. In the first three months of 2026 alone, Africa's trade deficit with China reached a record 29 billion dollars. That is nearly 10 billion dollars worse than the same period the year before.

Look at Nigeria. In one quarter, Nigeria imported nearly 7 billion dollars worth of Chinese goods. Things like machinery, vehicles, and electronics. In that same period, Nigeria exported less than 1 billion dollars back to China. Most of what Nigeria sends to China is crude oil. Raw material. Unprocessed.

That is not a partnership. That is a system where Africa exports what is dug from the ground and imports what is made in factories.

The same pattern plays out across the continent. The Democratic Republic of Congo sends copper and cobalt to China. Angola sends oil. Guinea sends bauxite. These countries have little to show for it. The processing happens in China. The profits stay in China. The jobs stay in China.

China announced a zero tariff policy for 53 African countries starting in May 2026. It sounded like a major step forward. But according to United Nations trade data, 94 percent of African exports to China already entered duty free. The policy changes almost nothing. It is largely cosmetic.

Even African leaders who support the relationship are beginning to sound worried. A senior analyst recently noted that Africa is becoming more visible in Chinese trade data while losing economic leverage. In Guinea, 74 percent of mining exports go to China. That is not economic diversification. That is dependence.

I have worked with Chinese firms in Nigeria. I have seen the horrible working condition at Chinese factories. I have seen how local workers are treated. The Chinese workers live in guarded compounds. They eat Chinese food. They speak Chinese. When the project ends, the heavy equipment goes back to China. The skills leave with the Chinese workers. What remains is the debt and the extraction.

Meanwhile, Nigerians in the diaspora send billions of dollars home every year from the United States and Europe. That money goes directly to families. It pays for school fees. It builds houses. It starts businesses. There is no comparable flow of money from China to Nigerian households.

China is not developing Nigeria. It is extracting what it needs and selling back what we could make ourselves. The roads and rails are real. But they are not industrial development. You cannot build a manufacturing economy by importing finished goods with borrowed money while exporting raw materials at rock bottom prices.

The window for change is still open. But only if African leaders choose to prioritize local industry over cheap imports. And only if the West decides to look at Africa again. Until then, the extraction will continue.

And the silence from our leaders will be as damaging as the imbalance itself.

Nigerians and Africans should wake up , China is just another colonial master in disguise probably worst

;How can you say a thing like this?
APC has launched CBM♾️ (City Boys Movement Infinity). They will make 20 days trip to space, around the sun and back.
Then by 2031, they will launch the World's first Sun landing.

wandium:
Tell me one war USA has fought alone.
The US is indeed a paper tiger. The have always depended on allies to win war. The steer trouble, create propaganda to paint their opponent as the devil then coerce their allies to support them and that is how they've won all their battles.
Now that no allies wants to be dragged into their mumu war, they are facing the hard truth.
The only thing they can do to win the war is to use a nuke and the whole world is watching and waiting. If it does happen, that will be the end of America

Kushites:
IT'S BECAUSE THEY PRACTICE THEIR TRADITIONAL RELIGION UNLIKE YOU COLONISED PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP A WHITE MAN AS YOUR "SAVIOUR".

In fact Japan practices a form of EDO culture and spirituality (Shintoism) having been settled there by Edo and related Nigerian groups in antiquity.

The original name of Tokyo itself is Edo, their Japanese flag is red and white like Edo, and Nigerian names, especially Edo names, are very commonplace.

UrVillageChief:
As expected, bro has again, left the argument to attack my innocent small dyke this time around🤣
But omor, people Dey calm down dull for this life o😭
Argument: North Korea is a poor country whose citizens aren’t enjoying the basics of life as this is evident deducing from parameters like emigration and immigration rates and ratio, travel restrictions and the freedom of its citizens.
You: North Korea is doing well for a sanctioned country because I saw two North Koreans while I was in Brazil and China and they told me the country was doing really well. Also, I know this because I am a citizen of a country that has access to every country of the world. Like Bro, you are so fun to be with🤣

Fine, I’ll help you out, I knew what you’ve been struggling to say but your use of words, delivery and the command of English failed you and I was only pulling your legs expecting you to correct yourself.
Yes, North Korea is a country doing really well technologically for a country under heavy international sanctions. It’s doing well in the areas of technological advancement aimed at military strength but you don’t say they are doing well economically or that it’s people are enjoying the basics of life that are being enjoyed by the citizens of the first world countries because the country has an isolated economy. Next time, before putting things up on public fora, always be mindful of the fact that people are very intelligent and don’t just swallow things without asking questions.
Is North Korea doing relatively well in the areas of technological advancement? The answer is Yes, especially considering the fact that they’ve been under serious sanctions for ages.
Is North Korea a developed country and is its economy and people doing well?
NO!
Be teachable, boy and have a good life!
You are ignored now.

You and your western news line can deceive nairaland people, but YouTube is there to show you everything concerning the iran and american war🥱

TommyBones:
... But why hasn't his intellect and brilliance...," as you claimed materialised into good governance and dividends of democracy? Are we that cheap as to glorify ineptitude?
I ask you in all honesty if Tinubu's egocentric reign as provided:
1. Security of lives and properties
2. Stable electricity
3. Job creation
4. Increased standard of living
5. Enabling business environment etc.
It's of no use mentioning other benefits that good governance would automatically birth.

Keep word: GOOD GOVERNANCE!

I have answered that before, Based on reported developments as of early 2026, Russia possesses several advanced weapon systems, particularly in the hypersonic and strategic realms, that the United States currently lacks in active service or operational deployment.

Oreshnik Hypersonic Ballistic Missile: In November 2024 and subsequent deployments, Russia has used the Oreshnik, a medium-range, nuclear-capable hypersonic missile that is reportedly impossible to intercept due to speeds exceeding Mach 10. The US currently lacks an operational equivalent to this medium-range hypersonic system.

Tsirkon (Zircon) Hypersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missile: Russia has deployed the 3M22 Tsirkon, a ship-launched hypersonic missile capable of speeds up to Mach 7–9, designed for high-value land and sea targets. The US is actively testing similar capabilities but does not have an equivalent weapon currently in operational service.


Noise.
Yet Ukraine one finish them.


Status-6 / Poseidon Nuclear-Powered Torpedo: Reports indicate Russia has developed a nuclear-tipped, nuclear-powered underwater drone designed to bypass coastal defenses.

Avangard Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV): Deployed on Russian ICBMs, the Avangard is a hypersonic glide vehicle that can travel at over Mach 20, bypassing current US missile defense systems.

Krasukha-4 Electronic Warfare System: This mobile, ground-based system is designed to suppress spy satellites, ground-based radars, and airborne surveillance systems, for which there is no direct American counterpart in terms of mobile capability.

While the US has advanced, specialized military technology (including stealth aircraft and superior network-centric warfare capabilities), Russia has focused on specializing in these specific advanced delivery systems and electronic warfare tools.

Having money is not a measure of one's brilliance. Take Asari Dokubo, Tompolo etc, they made their money with blood and terror.
Secondly, Monday was not a billionaire before he went into politics, that's just a lie. He was a PA/driver to Tony Anenih, another political crook. I am 99% sure that's where his money stemmed from, please stop spreading false information 🙏🏿

It is better to be a two times Uefa champions winner, two Europa cup and one super cup winner playing in the conference league than to be a European Virgin who is approaching menopause but still thinks herself a high value woman
