PoliticsRe: Nigerians Express Outrage Over Recent Petrol Price Hike by Brendaniel: 1:12pm On Mar 08
Which Nigerians are expressing outrage?

is it only Obidients, Peter Obi, MNK, screw driver seller in Onitsha and Donald Trump that are expressing outrage ?... grin

They vote in nonsense and expect the nonsense to make sense, for those who will come and talk nonsense about the war in Iran, the question I will be asking you is:

If the price of crude oil goes up, isn't it supposed to be blessing to Nigeria that sells oil?

And if the price of petrol goes up because of that, isn't Nigeria supposed to be making more money to cushion the effect on the citizens?

So why were you people all blaming Jonathan for selling crude oil at over 100$ per barrel when he constantly paid subsidy in return to cushion the effect on Nigerians while Tinubu is selling high and is not cushioning the effects, you people can't even say where the extra profit is going to because all the ministries are currently underfunded and Nigeria is running 3 different year budgets because of failure to meet implementations year after year.

What a shame on Tinubu and his supporters, what are Nigerians gaining from higher prices of crude oil like in GEJ's time?

Is INEC conducting election in your bedroom?

is it not also at selected locations?

So with over 1 trillion naira budget they cannot ensure real time transfer of election results?

Jamb don’t conduct exams everywhere, they only conduct it where facilities are available. You have no idea how far some aspirants have to travel to take the exam. Even with that, some centers still have issues.
Same with INEC, they only conduct it at designated points too...

Or do you have polling unit in your bedroom?

With over 1 trillion budget, what excuse are they giving?

Does Jamb even get 1/10 of that ?

Oga rest both individual have their strong points and have proved it , fiscal discipline obi is good, while economic growth and development is tinubu .

If you look at independent data-based performance indices comparing their time as governors, most widely cited research tends to rate Peter Obi higher than Bola Ahmed Tinubu on certain development metrics — but the conclusion depends on which indicators you use.
1. Global development-index comparison (often cited online)
A study using data from Global Data Lab compared development outcomes in:
Anambra State during Obi’s tenure (2007–2014)
Lagos State during Tinubu’s tenure (1999–2007)
It examined indicators such as:
Gross National Income per capita
Human Development Index (HDI)
Life expectancy
Education index
Health index
Income index
Result:
The data showed Anambra under Obi performed better across the six indicators used in the analysis. �
Switch Nigeria +1
So on that “human development performance index” style analysis, Obi ranked higher.
2. Fiscal and economic management comparison
However, if you use economic transformation metrics, Tinubu is often rated strongly:
Tinubu (Lagos)
Increased Lagos Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from about ₦600 million/month in 1999 to over ₦8 billion/month by 2007.
Built tax systems and institutions that made Lagos the richest state in Nigeria. �
X (formerly Twitter)
Obi (Anambra)
Focused on fiscal discipline and debt reduction.
Reportedly left office with over ₦75 billion in savings and investments and no domestic debt. �
X (formerly Twitter)
✅ Simple conclusion
Human-development and governance index comparisons:
→ Peter Obi rated higher
Revenue growth and economic restructuring:
→ Bola Tinubu rated higher
So the answer depends on what “performance index” you mean.
So your own answer also rated fiscal discipline and governance of Peter Obi higher than Tinubu, the question I will ask you is: which is more important to you:

Revenue growth for the government or good governance for the people?

Afrojuju2017:
Jambites are not time bound with their application neither are they location bound, it can assure you that many people completing online applications may be unsuccessful due to technical network errors during the process, the server may become overloaded however that is not a catastrophic failure, as the individual mat retry at another location at another time.

With elections that is different, the expectations is that the over 176,000 Poling units would be successfully uploaded at the completion of election once the EC8 form has been completed noted by the security agents, election officer and party agents.

The failure to upload if a caveat wasn't in place would be that election would be deemed incomplete and inclusive, that is a misnomer and I'd say that can be challenged in court as any citizen can state disenfranchisement on the basis of bias due to location.

The law is best as is, Nigeria doesn't have electronic voting neither do we have electronic collation so why people are so fixated on the photocopy that would be uploaded to IRev is rather perplexing.

We should rather insist on videography of the polling stations.
What is the one saying?

you are just talking off key, it is like you are still working with outdated information, so you don't know Jambites write their exams online at designated centers all over the country just like INEC has designated polling units all over the country ?

U people have realized u are losing the election for sure so u are looking for d best way to push d blame on.


The Senate made it clear that electronic transmission is cool but not mandatory but because of your useless agenda u are pretending as if u don't understand
You talk like this either because you want to lie and defend nonsense or you don't even how the tech for election your APC government have spent trillions on to implement works..

When they say 99% of you are absolute m0wrun-s it is not an exaggeration.
Johnathan borrowed approx $5b in 6 yrs , while retaining fuel subsidy, electricity subsidy, forex subsidy and managing the economy to one of the fastest growing in the world and the largest in Africa.

He borrowed just $5b yet we had
lower inflation,
lower poverty rate
Lower malnutrition & mortality rates
Lower brain drain crisis
No IDP camps or displaced citizens
Lower insecurity

Higher GDP
Higher budget performance
Higher investor confidence,
higher foreign reserve
Higher FDI

Kept dollar at ₦185, fuel at ₦87

Again while borrowing only $5b


But your god who has borrowed over $50b ( 10 times wt GEJ borrowed) in just three years has performed astronomically worse in comparison, on ALL the indexes
But you children of the corn with no brain will continue to defend the utter destruction of this country because of clanish eeediosee

Wise man, tell us how much exactly the loan is in dollars, without trying to be clever by half.

Obasanjo Debt start $36billion. Debt end $4-5billion. Reduced by about $32billion due to Paris Club forgiveness.

Yar'adua Debt start $5billion. Debt end $35billion. Increased by about $30billion due to Father Christmas behavior.

Jonathan Debt start $35billion. Debt end $63billion. Increased by about $28billion due to cluelessness.

Buhari Debt start $63billion. Debt end $113billion. Increased by about $50billion due to village people and Almajiri behavior.

Tinubu Debt start $113billion. Debt as at 2025 $97-100billion. Reduced by about $16billion due to Jagabanism.
Putinofrussia:
Ask them if President Tinubu borrowed in dollars or naira.
What they do to deceive the gullibles is calculate the debt in naira instead of dollars just because we have devalued our currency.
President Tinubu has paid off all IMF loan and also paid off the $7 billion fx owed the foreign airlines.He has paid off almost $11 billion dollars of Nigeria's debt.
Everything the guy wrote there is a lie,instead of you to even try and correct him, you came and supported him with additional lie, so this is how you people discuss lies as facts?

PolyGamous:
Buhari and Atiku were good comparison of what you said though, but the time Atiku campaigned against Buhari “aside from the ideology thing, people perceived Buhari to be working, his first term convinced people to vote for him again”

But Tinubu and Osinbajo was within party, Osinbajo was voted out in primaries, not by the people. It’s just like that of Ambode.

I still maintain my own stand of the big role Education can play.. “people can tell what is right, imagine people saying infrastructure is not something government should prioritize, because their candidate said so” that convinced me that people don’t really know what they want..

Imagine a SE resident saying sit at home has nothing to do with their economy, educated Igbo people were silent about the Nnamdi Kanu because they know what it is costing their region, Soludo have to wait till he secured his second term before going full force against them. You think any politician will become president tomorrow and reverse all the policies Tinubu has made?

Maybe the national antenna sha, they all know what’s right, but the won’t want to attempt it because they know once the effect starts pouring in, desperate opposition can use it against them to convince the masses that doesn’t actually know what they want.
You see why I said we don't reason alike, almost everything you said here is not my take, that's why i said it is better the country divides, so that you guys can use your ideology only for yourselves while we use our own for ourselves, let everyone go and do what works for them.

SportsRe: Footballer, Ihotu John Rebecca Kidnapped On Benin Expressway by Brendaniel:
PolyGamous:
If you feel I don’t understand you, fine.

What I understand is, every region ideology centered around having someone from their region at the upper level which is what led to regional selection “that didn’t start with Buhari and Tinubu btw”. It’s been south and north from the beginning of democracy. Either NW, NC, NE, it’s north, if it’s SW, SE, or SS na south.

And like I said earlier, if you think education is not enough to let people think beyond those ideology of being emotionally attached to politicians because of either religion or tribe, knowing fully well they are not capable of moving the country forward, and that of going against any policy made by politicians to make the nation move forward, because they are not your candidate you voted for, then I rest my case boss.
It is not because of the candidate of my choice, let me tell you why I'm being specific with Buhari and Tinubu's presidency.

Firstly I don't see most politicians in Nigeria as saints and that includes Obi.

But this is where as a human being you apply logic and rational reasoning, if you are presented with a choice of not so good items, won't you pick the best among the not so good?

but when you pick the worst among them, then there must be something that is overriding logic and rational thinking, and that is ideology and I will explain.

I will use the north and south west as examples, because they were the ones who opened my eyes to really understand this ideology of a thing.

Remember I said I an not counting anyone as a saint here but logic should be applied with rational reasoning.

In 2019, Atiku and Buhari contested, 2 northerners, one has verifiable business acumen and has shown some level of management in growing his various businesses, while the other had just failed his first 4 years in office, Atiku was roundly rejected by his northern brothers even though he had a proven better management skill in business and economics...

Why? Ideology drove them to make the choice, telling you they were not after a country with economic prosperity, they focused more on religion because they saw Buhari to be a more religious person.

Fast forward to 2023 and then you have Tinubu and Osinbajo

Many Yorubas roundly rejected Osinbajo for Tinubu and even called him a betrayer, why?

Ideology , sincerely speaking, most Yorubas know Osinbajo would have performed better than Tinubu, but that was not what they wanted, they wanted a Tinubu for their ideological reasons and not for the interest of Nigeria...

You might want to say the same for the Igbos with Obi, isn't it better we just divide and have our ideologies to ourselves without disturbing other people?

A perfect example of such people is that @Nairaland1 guy that's always yapping about how Nigerians are not paying enough taxes..


Nigeria should be divided to actually see true progress. We are not the same people.

I think Nigeria is the only country in the world with equal or almost the same numbers of Christian and Muslim population. Look at every other countries in the world, there's usually very higher number of citizens with the same ideologies (religion, education, ethnicity, etc) than different ideologies.
Thank you for the input.

PolyGamous:
Lol, your point is actually getting clearer.

Religion and your so called ideology isn’t the only reason why people vote, it’s not disputed that religious factor plays it roles!!

This region you are claiming also votes based on the reason why the ones that voted Buhari did!!

You can’t beat down the fact that every region is guilty of this ideology, I hate to see politics that way but you driving it there makes it funny, and I get why you are disputing the education factor. Atiku that this region in question votes for made it clear that he stands with the silly sharia law, so how does that made him different from Buhari? I guess your answer will be because he’s got someone from the region with him which beat back to the ideology that you are referring to..

You see, if you remove the factor of Education from Nigeria system, then every region have this ideology. And the other thing, people don’t just vote because they know what they want, if they vote because of what they want as you claim then no one is guilty of the ideology and no government should be blamed, but people vote based on manifesto, which is the reason why people get disappointed when the candidate they vote for turn around…

And going back to the proof, this region that want to go could have proven it not by making their region unrest to the extent even the people that want to develop it couldn’t stay! You think if the region have a state as strong as Lagos economically, you think they wouldn’t have been seen beyond minority? They have the chance to develop more than other regions, but they couldn’t proof it..
You seem to have a problem with understanding, when I use the word ideology, you seem not to get what I mean, you think I am accusing certain regions of having ideologies?

No, I said all regions have ideologies and these ideologies are different, and it is what influences their choice when voting, I have explained this over and over, you seem to have a problem with understanding...

That's why I said the ideologies causes each region to want something different from other regions, reason why I said the country should split, so that each region can have their leaders specifically for what they want based on their ideologies...

If the Islamic north says they want a Sheik instead of an economist, the can go ahead and vote him and will not have any business with an Igbo man who wants an economist and vice versa for other regions too...

I have studied Nigeria, we don't want the same thing, it is not about education, it is mainly about culture and religion, That is why the country is the way it is today, what Yorubas want is not what Igbos want and so on...

If you feel your ideology is better, go and use it for you and your people only in your own country, let others do the same in their own countries, because Buhari and Tinubu's presidency has mainly being about the imposition of 2 regional and religious ideologies on the other ideologies, that's mainly why the country is the way it is today.

There will be conflict and that is the Nigeria you are seeing today...
