I don't know o, maybe we should make one of you president
That’s not a wise thing to say if ask me ; especially since u appointed urself the presidential spokesperson and clearly failing at the job.

with or without subsidy removal, salaries will be increased next year. NLC is fighting for 100% increase in salaries for government workers, what about people with no job and Nigerians in the private sector?
I don't know what u are on and about, but almost everyone knows what NLC stands for. NLC fights for the right of organised labour I.e anybody who is employed will benefit from whatever outcome of NLC struggles is as far as minimum wage is concerned. TUC is also there to push the agenda of tradesmen and women

If NLC fights for minimum wage to be 50k, what it means is that any employer (be it private or government) who pays below 50k is breaking the law. Simple!

Now back to my question. Why is it so easy for Tinubu to just wake one morning and pronounce subsidy is gone without any visible plan in sight despite knowing the whole subsidy thing has been one thing all citizens benefit from the government? Why is it so easy for him to yank it off without plans and now he has to set up gazillion committees to look into how to ease the hardship of the people ? Did he consult the private sector when he was announcing subsidy is gone ?

vanitybutiwanti:
you can't increase minimum wage impulsively. I think by law the minimum wage should be increased next year, before you increase minimum wage, you have to set up a committee with the legislature, private sector players, and stakeholders generally. If you increase minimum wage to N100k, how do you expect some private establishment to pay 100k as minimum wage? The government and the private sector has to sit down to agree on a number, I think because the review is slated for next year, that's why he said for 6 months.

I understand that things are hard but let's be objective in our criticism, minimum wage is not the problem, I want to buy fuel at 300-400/ltr, I want uninterrupted power supply too.
Pray tell why is it so easy for the president to wake one morning and announce "subsidy is gone"!.... But to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal they need to set up gazzilion committees schedule billions of meetings with the same people that were not Consulted when the subsidy removal decision was taken?

Buhari's government stopped the 5 billion fraud trial of a senator because he stepped down for Buhari's choice of Senate president.

Yet Buhari is not corrupt.😄

Because i don't understand how this rot was happening for 8 years, and the president wasn't in the know.

Lemme give u a theory to this from the book of "excuses for Buhari's ineptitude" chapter 1 v 27:

And Emefiele the CBN governor swore with the bible in the presence of Buhari that he didn't steal a dime in his role. Buhari being a Muslim who reverends both the Quaran and Bible believed him and asked him to carry on.

You would wonder why they implemented it in June 2023. You floated naira, and then implemented VAT payment.

Then 3 months later, you suspend it.

Despite having so many experienced and knowledgeable people on his team, thus far Tinubu has not shown he was adequately prepared for the task ahead. All those talk about hitting the ground running are looking like just talks and nothing more. He takes a decision today , the propaganda team will hail it as a giant stride; tomorrow he takes a U-turn and they still throw a party to celebrate the fact that he has a "listening ear".

As funny as some of those his "Tumbo Tumb decisions are , at least as a typical Nigerian I'm glad few common Nigerians will be benefitting from them (even if its just for a short period of time). Like they say; A win is a win!

Yorubas have been dressing that way before Islam even entered Yorubaland some centuries ago. That style of dressing is a key element of Isese, Yoruba culture. Spare me unnecessary lectures about a religion you know nothing about or never practiced.

Where you see a video in the post you quoted? I posted a picture showing the native dresses of the Yorubas you dey mention a video about Ojude Oba. The native style of dressing in that picture is not restricted to that festival alone.

The picture depicts the traditional way of dressing in Isese, and Yorubas dress that way to social functions generally, not only Ojude Oba. What's ironic about the photo? You wan start another argument wey no get head or tail abi.
.

I meant to write photo and not video.

I'm not starting any argument ; I only pointed it out that the people in both pictures are Muslims ; side 1 are Yoruba Muslims and side 2 are Arab Muslims. Simple!

Culture pass culture: Ìṣẹ̀ṣé làgba (Yoruba culture is the superior).
The ironical thing about this photo is that those people on Yoruba Traditional attire are celebrating Ojúde ọba festival which is actually a muslim-cum-yoduba cultural festival. grin

Ojúde ọba is a festival that was started by a Muslim and it takes place 3 days after normal Muslim Ileya festival.

FUN FACT : Ojúde ọba the Muslim festival replaced a pagan festival called ọdẹda when Balogun kuku converted to Islam

How does marrying a 17year amount to pedophilia?

What's the age of consent in Nigeria?

There is a senator and former governor who got married to two girls 13 and 15 respectively.

He has broken no laws.
I may be wrong, but marrying a person under the age of 18 was not a crime until the child's right act of 2003 was passed.

https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/the-nigerian-age-of-consent-is-18-not-11/0zs6h4h

It means any marriage consummated with any bride below 18 before 2003 when the child's right act passed was very much valid and marrying a 17 year old as at 1992 does not pass for paedophilia ( as per the law o).

Like I said, I may be wrong and willing to learn

Again you are the one bothering yourself with someone that is stuck up buhari's ass.

When someone in the SS was raising alarm about how oil was being stolen from the source that's when I knew the corruption in the last admin was very very institutional.

It's like someone saying institutionalised racism that's being mentioned in the UK is different from normal racism practiced in the US.
I actually didn’t want to engage him until he started making the discussion about Buhari being incorruptible while every other presidents who were southerners are thieves and corrupt people .

He still seem to be living in the pre-2015 era when buhari was touted as a no-nonsense incorruptible being when we’ve seen how buhari was even worse than his predecessors

The facts that people are contesting the election and even some winning in courts shows you how the introduction of technology (BVAS) has helped in detecting electoral fraud and evidences can easily be presented in the court of law.

Obasanjo was writing figures. Election rigger, briber. That's who he is. A dictator that wanted to go for third term.

Every other president borrowed money. Buhari can point to what he did with the money. Since 1999 no other president has invested in infrastructure like him. Covid 19 came just like others like Bank of England, CBN too printed money.
And how has ur Buhari’s infrastructure bettered the life of the common man in the streets?

I see u agree the economy practically died under his watch , so we are on the same page here. Even u urself like every other person dey groan for the hardship Buhari’s administration brought upon the country , but ur ego won’t allow u call a spade a spade . No wam!

Talk to ur elderly ones , they will tell u how we had things better under OBJ as far as the economy is concerned ( which is actually what any reasonable person should be concerned about, not some nonsense infrastructure that u borrow to pay back the debt )

Obasanjo is a very corrupt man. He is a briber, nepotist and an election rigger.

Tafa Balogun that helped him to rig out all the governors in your zone but Tinubu in 2003. Lol. Only Tinubu survived that rigging. .

He gave us the worst election since the return to democracy in 2007. Yar'Adua even admitted that the election that brought him to power was not free and fair but faulty.


Buhari has prosecuted and sack so many people that are close to him. Magu ( former EFCC boss) , Babachir Lawal ( former SGF) and others.

Under Buhari whether you are Fulani or Hausa, if you commit a crime you will face the music. They are so many Hausa, Fulani people in detention. Nnamdi Kanu even said it

https://punchng.com/kanu-worried-over-hausa-fulani-in-detention-lawyer/


Oshiomhole said Obasanjo was worse than Abacha.

Nuhu Ribadu put it better .
If Obasanjo is corrupt, Buhari is worse. He failed on all metrics u can use to judge a good administration.

Corruption reigned supreme under his adminsiatrion. His AGF was practically sanctioning sale of government's assets , his Minister of aviation scammed the country with a phantom national carrier that has refused to see the light of the day ( something u gleefully celebrated urself), his associates get named in corruption scandals while he fooolishly looked away, etc.

The economy practically died under his watch. Even his party acknowledged the economy never experienced any form of growth all through his 8 years.

People were slaughtered like goat under Buhari's watch. Insecurity became rife and peace eluded even the most peaceful parts of the country. He left the country more divided than he met it. I don’t think any other president can beat his record.

Ur MCM borrowed the country into penury .

I can only laugh at u talking about the 2007 election in comparison to elections conducted by Buhari . Buhari conducted the most expensive election in Nigeria’s history spending over 300 billion ( an election budget that is even more expensive than India’s despite India having over 800m registered voters ) ; yet the election was a sham and almost all contestants from state to federal level are in court contesting the outcome …..smh. U no dey even shame to talk some of these things at all.

Despite the advancement in technology between 2007 to 2023 look at the nonsense election ur MCM oversaw .

This boy,all these google links will not tell u Obasanjo is the most detribalized and less nepotistic president who prosecuted his kinsmen and numerous party members without fear . He’s not Buhari who would not even dare combat his rampaging Fulani militia brothers.

Go and read about people like SM Afolabi who was OBJ’s minister that was so privileged that he was asked to choose a ministry he preferred by OBJ at the start of this democracy . It didn’t cost OBJ anything to have him tried for bribery by the ICPC .( His death was what terminated the trial I think )

The Tafa Balogun u are shouting about was OBJ’s appointee who was dealt with immediately his matter cast while OBJ was still in power .

Na only buhari be useless president wey coalition of civil society groups will dedicate time and resources to gather evidence against Malami his AGF and he didn’t bother to even call for probe because Malami swore to him “ Walahi tallahi baba, I no dey corrupt “

Maybe u are not stanning a thief ; perhaps u are stanning a very dull and clueless person (based on the defences u churn out on his behalf ) which makes it even worse .
