You cannot afford to have illiterates, semi-illiterates, and cunning people as your leaders. This is why we end up with the poor leadership we have today,” he said.The reason they dish out wicked and draconian policies masquerading as economic reforms just to inflict premium pain, untold hardships, hunger, and starvation on the citizens |
GeneralOjukwu:The same Tinubu who cowardly asked, 'Where are the cows?' when killer herdsmen were ravaging the entire Southwest and engaging in a killing spree. The same Tinubu who went on a demonic Muslim-Muslim ticket just to please the North. |
Tinubu is a threat to Nigeria's democracy |
There could be no ouster; Ganduje is merely hustling for more dollars to stuff into his babariga

Which crime did Obasa commit that warranted his impeachment? As far as Lagosians are concerned, the drug lord who orchestrated this impeachment has committed worse crimes against the people of Lagos State by mortgaging their commonwealth for two decades and counting, siphoning it through a blueprint conduit pipe connecting the coffers of the Lagos State Treasury to his personal pocket |
Almost two years have passed in a four-year tenure, and they're still using the word 'we will! We will!' |
A Nigeria working for the common man, not one headed by a notorious narcotics drug trafficker, certificate forger, and buccaneering power grabber engaging in criminal state capture, whose 'bolekaja' economic policy prescriptions have succeeded in inflicting untold hardships, premium pains, hunger, and starvation |

He will show Nigerians the 'bolekaja' economic policy prescriptions he has implemented so far, which have inflicted untold hardships, hunger, and starvation on them. |
Former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has called on the Nigeria Police Force to uphold professionalism and avoid partisanship in the discharge of its duties, particularly in the state. His remarks followed concerns raised over a ‘terror alert’ issued by the Kano State Police Command on the eve of the Tijjaniyya Sufi Order’s annual Maulud celebration at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano. Kwankwaso congratulated the Tijjaniyya Sufi Order for the successful completion of the monumental event on his X handle and extended his felicitations to His Royal Highness, Khalifa Muhammad Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, for their roles in organising the event. However, he expressed dismay at the police alert, which he noted not only jeopardized the event’s success but also caused unnecessary fear among Kano residents and attendees from other parts of Nigeria and abroad. “This conduct by the police, which has already been marked as a willing partner of the Federal Government in its habitual interference in Kano State’s affairs, further erodes its credibility,” Kwankwaso stated. He warned that issuing a false terror alert sets a dangerous precedent, as it could lead to public complacency during genuine threats in the future. “Issuing a threat alert of this magnitude, which later turns out to be false sets a dangerous precedent. I am afraid that it will lead to people to be complacent in the event of a genuine threat in the future. “Due to the international nature of the event, the conduct of the police leadership in Kano also leaves a bad impression of the Nigeria Police Force globally,” he added. Kwankwaso urged the police in Kano to prioritise professionalism and steer clear of partisanship, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity. He further called on the Federal Government to refrain from meddling in matters that fall under the jurisdiction of Kano State and its people. “The Federal Government must avoid dragging itself into situations that only complicate governance in Kano State,” he said. The Tijjaniyya Maulud celebration remains one of the most significant events for the Sufi order, drawing participants from around the world. https://dailytrust.com/kwankwaso-slams-kano-police-over-false-terror-alert/#google_vignette |
Aregbesola, posterity will be kind to you because you said that Tinubu doesn't mean well for Nigerians, and truly, it is so.

A criminal enterprise |
What the minister is saying is that Nigeria has enough money for Tinubu to engage in frivolous foreign trips, enough to loot and embezzle, but no money for subsidies and other things that could make life easier for the common man. |

A nationwide protest is currently brewing in Nigeria following the recent approval by the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, for telecommunication operators to increase tariff by 50%. DAILY POST reports that following the mounting financial struggles birthed by the devaluation of the naira and increasing operational costs in Africa’s most populous nation, telecom operators like MTN and Airtel had demanded a 100% tariff increase. However, the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, on Monday, January 20 announced the approval of a 50% tariff increase. By the time the Mobil Network Operators implement the approved tariff, Nigerians are expected to pay N16.5 per minute for calls from N11, the cost of SMS to N6 from N4, and the cost of 1 gigabit of data – N431.25. There are, however, stiff oppositions from some stakeholders, who argued that the increment is coming at the wrong time, citing the economic hardship bedeviling the nation at the moment. Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC had, while reacting to the proposed tariff increase, rallied Nigerians to reject “another harsh burden”, threatening to mobilize workers to boycott telecom services. Similarly, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC described the tariff scheduled to begin in February as outrageous, lamenting that it will worsen the harsh living conditions of workers and Nigerians. Halt the tariff hike now – Yunusa Tanko tells FG In an exclusive interview with DAILY POST on Saturday, the National Coordinator, OBIDIENT Movement Worldwide, Dr. Yunusa Tanko urged the Federal Government to halt the tariff increase, saying it is a “wrong timing, wrong action and wrong choice”. According to him, a “50% tariff increase by the NCC at this time is only a final burial to the already struggling economy. “All sectors of the economy need adequate communication to keep up with their game; the outturn will be spontaneous”. Yunusa lamented that there “was an influx of 14 million Nigerians into poverty in one year, caused by uninformed government policies and poor economic decisions”, stressing that the country has “never experienced this height of surge since her independence”. He appealed to the NCC and the Communications and Digital Economy Ministry to “thread cautiously and wisely, get the data right, opt for accurate information, do their analysis objectively, consider the post and aftermath of such actions, and always put the interest of the Nigerian people first. “Have we thought about what would happen to the SMEs, SMSE, etc? Communication is the life wire of any nation. “We are yet to recover from the inflation surge affecting basically all foodstuffs and household items, high cost of transportation and other internal disruptions caused by the fuel subsidy removal and other government policies. “In a nutshell, a 50% tariff hike is a no no no for me; wrong timing; wrong action; wrong choice: and probably wrong outcome. “The NCC should adopt an immediate reversal of the hike, substantially plan for it, and if there is any need for implementation after a period of time, not 50%. 15% will do”. Nigerians plan nationwide protest Irked by the development, DAILY POST gathered on Saturday that a cross section of Nigerians are currently planning to stage protests across the nation to compel the government agency to reverse its decision. Popular Nigerian activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore told DAILY POST on Saturday that discussions on the nationwide protest are underway. In a chat with our correspondent, Sowore, who described the tariff increase as unjust, said he recently met with the leadership of the NLC to harmonize plans for nationwide actions to reverse the decision. “I met with the NLC leadership yesterday to discuss possible nationwide action against this unjust and backbreaking tarring increase. “Yes, I will support any form of credible protest”, he said. Another activist, Comrade Timothy Onyilo said the tariff increase would discourage students from research in higher institutions. According to him, “the only language the government understands is protest and they are going to have it. “Did they really consider students before coming up with this decision or they just feel like everybody is the same? “We are already pained that students are suffering due to the high cost of living and you still want to add to their problems. “Every student needs the internet for academic research. I am doing my MSc in the Abuja university here. “We spend a lot of data doing research. Things are already hard and some people are still making it harder. “Instead of them finding a way to improve the services, they are only interested in taking money from us. “Sometimes, MTN, Glo and even Airtel will frustrate your life as if they are giving you service for free, yet nobody is talking about that”. DAILY POST recalls that the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, had issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy to reverse the decision or face nationwide protests. The association in a statement on Wednesday noted that affordable internet access was crucial for bridging the educational gap in Nigeria and warned that the tariff hike would further exclude millions of students from accessing quality education, deepening the digital divide. Meanwhile, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, had mandated the telecommunication industry to prioritize service improvement including network reliability, speed and accessibility, in the planned tariff adjustments. In a recent statement by its Director, Corporate Affairs, Ondanje Ijagwu, FCCPC said although it acknowledged the economic pressures faced by telecom operators in the country, including increasing operational costs, “consumer interests remain paramount”. https://dailypost.ng/2025/01/27/hardship-nationwide-protest-looms-as-nigerians-reject-telecom-tariff-increase/ |
