izzou:The statement is taken from the same playbook that always point out Goodluck jonathan's generally acknowledged failure each time Buhari's ineptitude was brought to the fore all through the past 8 years. They will find ways to bring up Jonathan we all acknowledged was a failure and use him as a yard stick for judging Buhari. |
liveLongNprospa:The reasonable thing to do would've been to go after the subsidy thieves, block loopholes being exploited by uncrupulous elements, purge out the bad eggs in NNPC, etc. Removing subsidy should've been the last resort after everything has been fixed. I posted what Tinubu wrote in 2012 about subsidy removal and conditions that must be in place before subsidy removal can be considered. The same Tinubu became president, saw that none of those conditions are in place, goes ahead to remove subsidy and people are defending the fallout of the decision ....smh |
izzou:There's nothing to forgive jare. We've all been misled by these politicians at one point or the other |
liveLongNprospa:Good morning Prosper ! ![]() When I was arguing the bolded , u were busy believing the propaganda that fuel subsidy needs to go and Nigeria will be better . I argued asking what government has done to deal with those stealing through subsidy , what has government done preventing smuggling of subsidized crude to neighboring countries and what has government done to prosecute those subsidy thieves we’ve always heard about ? For the umpteenth time, that fuel subsidy is the only social welfare all Nigerians whether poor , extremely poor, averagely poor , middle class and upper class enjoy. The moment u take it away cos the government can’t deal with a handful of unscrupulous elements gaming the system, u are definitely suffocating those already in the lowest of low . Some of us shouting about this thing are doing so not even because of ourselves but those who don’t have anywhere or anyhow to adjust . Like me now , I’ve been privileged to receive hardship allowances to cushion the effect of the whole subsidy wahala …..but how many people have that privilege in current Nigeria where disposable income keeps reducing by the day ? |
When it rains , it pours .🤦♂️

Segedinho:Reno wey don craze a long time ago. |

DeadPresidents: ![]() |
izzou:Shey I no go dey use my weekends go learn Carpentry from Broda Akeem like this ? |
A40:U see these set of people ehn, I just look at their whatsapp status now na prayer points full there. Now dem no get energy to troll anybody again. All of us dey face our respective reality |
Incognito9:🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
iamoyindamola:Yeah the fare makes sense, but there was just need to let people know that it was 50% on paper but not 50% in reality. Even the Yellow buses wey he include for the announcement , those ones no send anybody. Dem go ask u if na Sanwoolu buy fuel for them or na him go help them repair their car or pump tyre when they are flat ![]() |
Segedinho:The question u should even be asking is how many BRT routes/Corridor do we have in Lagos? Take away Ojodu Berger-CMS, Ikorodu-CMS, Abule Egba- CMS, CMS-Ajah routes and U will see that the rest of Lagos state without BRT route are on their own. Sanwoolu's slashing of the BRT fare is a good move, but it has little impact on the suffering of the general populace. And the 50% slash is not 50 per centing . It's actually 41.67% reduction cos those routes where they charge N600 before Sanwoolu's announcement, they now charge N350 (and not N300 which is 50%). I confirmed this from those who use BRT on a daily basis. |
liveLongNprospa:This is Nigeria, he can always claim our national security is under threat just like those supporting the planned military intervention have been doing. |
izzou:Pele my dear
|
liveLongNprospa:Reuben quoted section 5 of the 1999 constitution subsection 5 which states: (5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) of this section, the President, in consultation with the National Defence Council, may deploy members of the armed forces of the Federation on a limited combat duty outside Nigeria if he is satisfied that the national security is under imminent threat or danger:That means Tinubu can claim Nigeria's national security is under threat and still deploy our troops ; then sought ratification of the legislature within 14 days later. |
liveLongNprospa:Omo! The man sounded like even if Tinubu goes ahead without the approval of parliament , the north will sabotage any military operation in Niger . |
Whatever argument u have in Favour of military action in Niger , this professor has addressed it in his interview with Reuben Abati. The man even make bold that the north will not support any military action . Take ur time to watch this without a biased mind . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz2RoYZlD24 |
obainojazz:The guy in the video didn’t say anything different from the normal beer parlor gist . The good thing is he was reasonable to have been using words like “ may have “, “might have been the reason “, “could’ve been the reason “…. thereby showing he was making a big guess In the early part of the video he was saying Amaechi confirmed they didn’t sign any sovereignty clause and the Chinese also clarified they didn’t have any motive to take over our national assets….. Then in the middle of the video he explained excatly what the fear of the lawmakers were as what that sovereignty clause guarantees for the Chinese . The guy made a lot of conjectures as to the most likely reasons why the Chinese pulled out and the “uproar “ angle was the less convincing reasons amongst what he came up with. I bet if the guy was here on nairaland and we ask him to make it make sense like izzou was doing yesterday evening , he will end up repeating these conjecture hundreds of times without actually proving anything to us. He even said maybe the reason the Chinese pulled out was cos they are not used to having opposition ask questions in their one party state . The unfortunate thing in all of this is the fact that for most of Buhari’s tenure we the people accused the senate of being a rubber stamp legislature . The only time they asked questions with the motive of getting full details of what they are signing-on on behalf of the people , we are making conjectures saying maybe that’s why the Chinese pulled out. The question is , don’t the legislative arms in the saner climes ask the executives questions and even warn them about the implications of some agreements/contracts they sign with foreign entities ? |
So it’s going to be a long battle between Ramsdale and Raya. No wam! 😎

The same people saying there’s no big deal about muslim-Muslim ticket on the national level are protesting against Sanwoolu’s commissioners list which has 31 Christian’s and 8 Muslims https://www.nairaland.com/7796042/muslim-community-demands-review-lagos |
![]() izzou behave urself Abeg . U just dey in form anyhow like William Saliba |
izzou:Na just propaganda , the talk holds no water in the face of proper scrutiny and critical thinking . It’s beer parlor gist taken too far . It’s no different from Shetimma saying Lagos was a super slum before Tinubu became the governor |
Segedinho:Ah. I think say dem arrest oga junta yesterday after successfully bombing the coupists position in Niger , brought him to Nigeria and transferred him to kuje prison while we were sleeping o. So na Imagination wan finish me 🤦♂️ |
larride:If I understand what u are saying here: 1. Buhari wanted to construct eastern corridor rail line 2. Abaribe and other eastern senators protested against it (This u inferred from the senators cautioning against Buhari taking chinese loans which has turned out badly for some African countries in the long run) 3. The Chinese didn't fund the project eventually and Buhari abandoned it. 4. Later Kano - Niger Republic rail line project was proposed and somehow they were able to get funding for the project ( Not from China but from German banks and other EU agencies) Now let me put it staright to u here and now. Buhari obviously took the advice of dem Abaribe which was a reasonable one, then proceeded to source for funds elsewhere only to use it to fund a project to Niger republic. All the shalaye u've done up there is nothing but u actually indicting Buhari further for what I have accused him of. U didn't absolve him in any way. Die this talk of anybody hating anybody, na those kind talks make Buhari use 8 years spoil this country while u guys were cheering him on. |
KingTom:Were u able to find out how any of those people were enlisted for the program ? |
Emaprince:The funny thing in all of these is that the eastern corridor project was supposed to cost $1.96bn , they chose to prioritize the Niger republic own over Our own internal rail system. Now they say there's no funds for the eastern corridor. Smh |
GloriousGbola:We are saying the same thing. They obviously don't need any confrontation between ECOWAS forces(which Nigeria is spear heading ) and Nigerien forces. It puts them in a delicate position. And also, they in the best position to know the pulse of the Niger people and where their heart lies; with the coupists or the liberation army of ECOWAS. |
https://www.nairaland.com/7792721/nigerians-niger-cry-out-support Nigerians living in Niger say they do not want any military intervention and they stand with the Niger people and the coupists. Are these also farmers employed by the Wagner-Russia troll farm corporation ? |
larride:See the link below, Keyamo confirmed some people benefitted from the scheme, he was asked to provide the details of people who got over 24 billion as at that time he couldn't. This country ehn, we let people get away with a lot of things. https://www.thecable.ng/no-single-person-benefited-senate-probes-fgs-774000-jobs |
larride:I watched the video. What I'm saying is, this screening was an avenue to hold him to account for that 774k jobs. He was put in a position of trust, make he show evidence that indeed 1k person in each 774 LGA got that job they made so much noise about. Till date I never see one beneficiary of that programme. |
Someday in the future when "APC Vs PDP vs LP vs IPOB vs The North vs The South vs Obi vs Muslim vs Christian vs Buhari vs Tinubu " is no longer a thing , we will take out our garb of Bias and sit down to discuss if Some of Buhari's decisions defended in the past actually made sense at all. A country like Nigeria that doesn't have an operational rail line from a place like Lagos to the east and south south to have invested $1.9 billion in building rail line to Niger republic. We will sit down and review whatever the prospective income paltry 27 million people in Niger can give us compared to what almost 47 million people living in the south south/south east can give us a forward thinking nation. We will talk about the economic ineptitude of Buhari and how his supporters and followers not only cheered him up, but also defended him when eyebrows were raised. We will talk about how Buhari put tribal and ethnic affiliation above national interests to prosper as a nation. |
