I need an opinion, I live in 1 bedroom room flat, room and parlour with dining of 800k per year, the landlord recently increased it to 1m but my wife insisted that we move to another room and parlour that is smaller and far from town only that the house have POP design at 1.6 million. I told her that the place we are staying is better and we can save 600k then unprovoked she said she have finished making arrangements with the other house that I must pay the money that day. To my greatest surprise she started physically pushing me around, bring out our wedding pictures and throw on it the bed and went to kitchen looking for kitchen knife. And bring out all my bag and ask me leave the house or she will smash all my belongings including labtops and phone. Is a shock to me, yet to recover. Note I am a sole provider in the union, she contribute nothing, I gave her monthly upkeep of 120k, I take care of every Damm expenses in the house. I started a lab business for her with 3 m. The marriage is about 10 months, no kid yet. We have not have major issues except minor issues which we resolve.
I haven’t involved families yet, I want see opinions first, mod pls front page.

After carefully reading this, I have come to realize that Bayo Onanuga’s statement is less a serious policy defence and more a partisan tirade riddled with historical amnesia, selective facts, and personal abuse unbecoming of a presidential spokesman. When a government communicator abandons evidence for insults, it often signals insecurity, not confidence.

First, the attempt to frame Peter Obi as a “bitter loser” ignores a basic democratic reality: post-election critique is not bitterness; it is accountability. Every major opposition figure globally — from the United States to Europe — continues to interrogate elections, policies, and governance long after polls close. To demand silence from Obi while Tinubu himself contested elections multiple times after losing is rank hypocrisy. Tinubu went to court repeatedly between 2003 and 2007; was he “bitter” then, or was he exercising democratic rights?

Second, the claim that “empirical analyses showed Obi could not have won” collapses under scrutiny. INEC’s own final results show Obi won 11 states and the FCT, including Lagos — Tinubu’s political base — an unprecedented outcome for a third-force candidate. That alone contradicts the narrative of an “abysmal third-place fluke.” No amount of name-calling erases the electoral earthquake of 2023, where a candidate without state backing or federal machinery shattered Nigeria’s two-party monopoly.

Third, Onanuga’s assertion that Obi was an “abysmal failure” in Anambra is demonstrably false and easily verifiable. When Obi left office in 2014, Anambra had zero bank loans, over ₦75 billion in savings and investments, and functional public institutions — facts acknowledged by the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, the Debt Management Office, and even successive Anambra governments. If that is failure, then Nigeria desperately needs more of it. Contrast this with today’s federal reality: ballooning debt, weakened purchasing power, and record food inflation despite repeated claims of “economic restructuring.”

Fourth, the mocking reference to a “madman in Onitsha” is not just crude; it exposes a disturbing disdain for mental health, religious diversity, and millions of Nigerians. For a presidential spokesman to deploy such language reflects poorly on the administration he represents. Governments confident in their record do not resort to mockery — they marshal data.

On the economic claims, Onanuga’s narrative again unravels. Removing petrol subsidy without adequate buffers triggered historic inflation, currency freefall, and widespread poverty, as confirmed by the National Bureau of Statistics and the World Bank. Foreign reserves have not “risen sustainably”; they have fluctuated amid heavy intervention, while the naira lost significant value within months. Inflation “decelerating” after peaking above 30% is not success — it is damage control after policy shock.

The much-touted Lagos–Calabar and Sokoto–Badagry highways remain largely conceptual, with procurement controversies, cost opacity, and minimal visible progress. Announcements are not achievements. Nigerians measure governance by outcomes, not press releases.

On the accusation that Obi promotes “copy-and-paste governance,” Onanuga again misrepresents reality. Every successful nation learns from others — Singapore studied Britain, China studied the West, Rwanda studied Singapore. Learning is not copying; refusing to learn is stagnation. Ironically, many Tinubu policies — subsidy removal, tax harmonisation, FX liberalisation — are textbook IMF and World Bank prescriptions, hardly “homegrown originality.”

Finally, the obsession with Obi’s party movements reeks of selective memory. Tinubu himself moved from SDP to AD to AC to ACN to APC. Political evolution is not wandering; it is adaptation. To weaponise it against Obi is intellectual dishonesty.

In the end, Onanuga’s statement does more damage to the presidency than to Peter Obi. It replaces governance communication with personal insults, substitutes propaganda for proof, and reveals a troubling intolerance for dissent. Nigerians are not asking for perfection — they are asking for honesty, competence, and respect.

A government that truly has results does not fear comparison. And a spokesman confident in his principal’s record does not need to shout insults to be heard.

Bulgaria’s prime minister has handed in his government’s resignation after less than a year in office following weeks of mass street protests over its economic policies and perceived failure to tackle corruption.

Rosen Zhelyazkov announced his resignation on television shortly before parliament had been due to vote on a no-confidence motion submitted by the opposition and before the country is due to join the eurozone on 1 January.

“Our coalition met, we discussed the current situation, the challenges we face and the decisions we must responsibly make,” the prime minister said. “Our desire is to be at the level that society expects. Power stems from the voice of the people.”

After a meeting of the ruling parties’ leaders, he later added: “People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and religions have spoken out in favour of [the government’s] resignation. This civic energy must be supported and encouraged.”

Tens of thousands of Bulgarians had rallied on Wednesday evening in the capital, Sofia, and dozens of other towns and cities across the country in the latest in a series of rolling demonstrations giving vent to the public’s growing frustration.

Protesters chanted “Resign” and held up “I’m fed up!” signs featuring caricatures of politicians. Gergana Gelkova, 24, a shop worker, told Agence France-Presse she joined the protest because widespread corruption had become “intolerable”.

Students from Sofia’s universities joined the mass protest in the capital, which Bulgarian media estimated, based on drone visuals, had drawn more than 100,000 people in a country of just under 7 million.

Similar protests took place last week sparked by the government’s budget plans for tax increases, higher social security contributions and state spending hikes. The government later withdrew the draft 2026 budget.

Protesters had labelled the ill-fated budget as a veiled attempt to mask rampant corruption, which successive governments have failed to root out, and expanded their demands to include calls for the centre-right government to step down.

The country’s Moscow-friendly president, Rumen Radev, also called on the government to resign, saying on his Facebook page: “Between the voice of the people and the fear of the mafia. Listen to the public squares!”

Radev will now ask the parties in parliament to try to form a new government. If, as seems likely, they are unable to do so, he will put together an interim administration that will run the country until a new election – the eighth in four years – can be held.

The EU’s poorest country has been racked by political instability and uncertainty, with analysts saying that low trust in its national institutions and leaders had been exacerbated by fears of higher prices as Bulgaria prepares to adopt the euro.

The European Commission has repeatedly warned against rule of law failings in Bulgaria, saying in a July report that the level of perceived judicial independence in Bulgaria was “very low” and the country’s anti-corruption strategy “limited”.

Dobromir Zhivkov, the director of the Market Links sociological agency, said Bulgarian society was “in broad unity against the model of governance”, adding that plummeting trust in ministers and MPs was “another indicator of severe political and institutional crisis”.

Bulgaria is near the bottom of the European Corruption Perception Index maintained by Transparency International. It has gone to the polls seven times since huge anti-graft protests in 2020 against Boyko Borissov, a three-time former prime minister.

Borissov’s conservative GERB party finished as the largest in the most recent election last year and formed the current coalition government in January, with Zhelyazkov, a former transport minister and senior GERB member, as premier.

Protesters are particularly angered by Delyan Peevski, a former media mogul whose DPS – New Beginning party is one of an array of several factions from across the political spectrum that backs Zhelyazkov’s minority government.

Peevski, who has been hit with sanctions by the US and the UK for alleged corruption, bribery and embezzlement, is accused of influencing government policy to favour oligarchs. He has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
