The problems of Nigerians are their leaders and Nigerians.

They will not make a second hesitation in driving up prices to enrich themselves when they see the opportunity especially in cases of economic decline and artificially injected scarcity.

Numbers 1 and 2 are the same. Let me address that. The consumption of fuel dropped from 16% in June to 28% in August/September. The number has increased significantly. Yea, no more fuel scarcity as its mountainous price cannot be matched by more than half the population of Nigeria. Many businesses that thrived on fuel consumption have had to shut down owing to low patronage. The ones that haven't are struggling to breakeven. The few still operating profitably like filling stations have marked a sharp decline in patronage.

Introduction of CNG. Now you shoot yourself on the foot defending nonsense. CNG came about as a result of the unavailability of fuel for Nigerians because of its increased costs. In a sane economy especially one endowed with crude oil is it not madness that the citizens of the country are made to buy fuel at an exorbitant amount? Wait, it gets better. You mentioned CNG as one of Tinubu's positives but you are mum on the provision of cng refuelling stations. Is this not selective delusion? Besides, how much does it take to convert a petrol-powered vehicle to run on CNG? About more than half a million to more than a million naira. Who can afford that when they cannot afford petrol? Tinubu's government does not help you with a dime to make the switch which is more expensive than procuring expensive petrol. CNG as a positive...you must really be joking.

Introducing pavement concrete roads across the Federation. I acknowledge he has done that and it is welcome development. However, it is paltry in the light of the expectations resting on his shoulders as leader. There is not an administration without an innovation. Moreover, there is nothing exceptional in this regard as to call attention to itself because it is only refining what is already available, not providing what was absent or lacking.

Opening up new route for faster travel time from Lagos to calabar 13hr to 5 hrs when completed. Until it is completed brush that aside as achievement as projects can be left abandoned midway to completion.

Disappearance of ASUU strike. The same ASUU that gave the federal government 14 days ultimatum on September 18 that should expire on October 2nd or 3rd depending on whether 1st of October is regarded as one of the days or not. Today is the 1st of October. Why do you Tinubu supporters keep lying boldly like he does as an international liar?

Introduction of Nelfund. A very rare laudable feat of his administration. You will agree with me than when employment opportunities have been driven away through his fiscal policies by which many companies have folded how can the beneficiaries of the loan act repay their loans?

Abolishment of fuel subsidy scam. You really must hate yourself as that is the only conclusion I can reach over your persistent need to keep shooting yourself on the foot. The most notable fuel subsidy scam in the history of Nigeria was carried out by APC. Fuel subsidy was removed yet it was kept secretly, however, the effects of the subsidy removal have been used to cash out of the ignorance of Nigerians.

Improvement in electricity. I will not even go into any details on this as any toddler can see through your ill-constructed lies

Tax Reforms. What about it? Why are you silent on how it is a positive of Tinubu's administration? The excessive taxation of resources, goods and services saddling unbearable living expenses on the masses struggling to survive daily is a positive to you? Do you lose your empathy and reasoning when you become an APC supporter? APC supporters need to be studied on how perception is clouded and the moral engine collapses as a result of supporting corruption.

I will just tell you - try harder to deserve your 30k.

helinues:
Nigeria is progressing, developing even though it's still slow but the steadiness look promising

There is no progress made when democracy is hijacked. We have a civilian dictator as president who does not consider the far-reaching consequences of his policies as long as they suit his purposes, not that of the welfare of the masses. This is what dictators do. They stifle progress with their bigot infested policies and appointments.

Racoon:
"The accurate measure of our success will not be limited to economic statistics alone, but rather in the;
-1). Food on our families' tables.
Score: Zero except for his cronies feeding fat on the nation collective patrimony. Many civil servants spend 75% of salary on basic necessities of life. Zero savings.

-2). Quality of Education our Children Receive.
Score: Zero! Most children of the elites school abroad. Imagine the failure rate in SSCE, JAMB

-3). Quality of Electricity in our Homes. Score; Zero. The power minister is a symbol of the government failure.

-4). Security in our Communities. Score; Zero! Your guess is as good as mine.

Funny, these are the same areas I highlighted to one APC supporter a while ago where Tinubu's failure is over-extended; hyperinflation, costs of living, electricity, education, security, banking services, transportation. The question now is why APC members and supporters have chosen to seek shelter in denial in the face of their glaring incompetence

Reno Omokri listed anti-people positives under Tinubu's administration which is why he expertly avoided incuding costs of living, purchasing power parity, domestic and local innovations that have eased the rising costs of living, the relentless brain drain Nigeria has suffered especially in 2024 and 2025 owing to the desire for greener pastures and security. With the so-called positives he listed the odious endless borrowing of the federal government testifies otherwise. BATs will always remain blind.

anonimi:
This must be a joke or a slip of tongue for the leaders looters of All Promises Cancelled, APC.

Who is fooled by this talk?
Who is deceived by this balablu propaganda machine?



The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

It is the nature of blind bats to always live in denial. With his open admission of his administration's inefficiency in tackling challenges in addition to compounding them someone is still talking about positives in a crumbling economy.

BadEnglish:
What is happening? If you can't see the positives in all his reforms, then you must be really blind

Positives that include hyperinflation, the loss and shutdown of foreign investment companies as well as local factories and companies, the extreme widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, the increased costs of living, house rent crisis with landlords skyrocketing house rents, the obnoxious hike in prices in the following fields or sectors: electricity, transportation, banking services, education. Where are the positives in a starving population that is made to pay taxes for everything they depend upon? You go just dey yarn cow dung about positives wey you no fit point finger. Quote this statement and list the positives as I have easily listed the failures of APC.

geoworldedu:
They held is 30k stipend for the past 3 months. From a confirmed source

Hahahaha. 🤣😂🤣😂😅😂🤣.

atobs4real:
With a lot of hard work and dedication. Baba, you have earned it.
Good job
Waiting for food prices to come down. We shall get there

I hope this is not hearing deficiency on your part when he clearly said the APC has fulfilled the promise of change which includes, but not limited to, making the naira equal to the dollar. If that is so, what food prices are you waiting to come down from heaven?

helinues:
Not even up to 30% of the promises have been fulfilled. This kind of lies is unnecessary

Is this the helinues I know or has his nairaland account been hacked? Please someone verify. 😂😂😂

Sapiosexuality:
This guy has to be living in an alternate reality. Is he even aware of what's happening?

Of course, he is very much aware of his failure, but do you expect him to openly admit his failure? That is the reason he has chosen to live in denial.

Chelsea to come out victorious.

Atiku should keep quiet, agbero chairman the best thing to happen to nigerians after buhari.after agege bread na T-pain.everywhere is sweet.agbero chairman until dollar hit #3000 as promised

Na the same way T-Pain aka firelord Ozai the greatest taxmaster of Africa bin dey talk dat time, "Let the poor breathe". Na im come do the worst pass the worst of the worst. Na their format, no be today. En own fit even worse pass Tinubulation.

Nigeria is under the siege of corruption and bigotry. This is why however hard we try the probability of getting it right is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Sommie paid the price of a failed country through no fault of her own. May she rest in perfect peace.

KingDashx:
She just wasted her life for nothing

As if she chose to end her life. She (justifiably) panicked and tried to escape the only way she knew. The same thing happened at the Afriland building that was engulfed in flames had people not been there with mattress to cushion their fall. One still ended up breaking his legs.

In other words, bandits, contract killers, drug pushers, scam artists, kidnappers, body parts dealers and the endless list of condemnable means of earning money are all welcome to pay taxes and widen the scope of their activities under Tinubu's new income tax laws. Is this man (along with his followers) okay like this?

Bwanasaraw:
I no blame Israel at all. They are the one's feeling the pain.
If you are victim of kidnappers and bandits you will know that the only language they understand is fire for fire.

Islamist sympathisers will call you an infidel for defending yourself against their bloody attacks.

I have a friend whose family reside in Kogi state. I pray for their safety in this troubled times of insecurity.

There are single fathers as much as there are single mothers, yet they are ignored because society belittles their efforts by assuming they are well able to cope with the challenges as men. This is a disguised form of entitlement mentality. Single parents also includes single fathers, not just mothers. Just be careful who you allow into your life as a partner to avoid situations like this.

This is the umpteenth time they are issuing the same ban

Yes sir, I checked trading view, what I saw was BXY… I’m not sure if that’s it

Yeah. I think it is.

Hello everyone, please what’s British pounds index called??

It should still be the GBP symbol or code as you know it. Have you made any search for it on platforms like Tradingview, or Netdania, or other more advanced platforms compared to metatrader?

He was warned but Starmer is not one to listen to legal experts. Wisdom is far from him. Palestinians have spotted their cash cow in Starmer.

She is the victim of her own selfishness.

Imagine the turnout. Simply reading their Bible would have saved them the experience of this embarrassment of epic proportions. They will learn bitterly and shamefully that no man knows the day and hour except the Father in heaven. Not even our Lord Jesus Christ knows (Mark 13:32).

Who do they think they are deceiving with their pretentious show of justice? Someone that they will find a way to grant pardon so he will continue his "strategic" work of stealing ballot boxes.

Soldier: General, we have lost more than half of our men. Should the attack proceed?

General: No war is bad

You are lucky Nigerians are predominantly law-abiding citizens and are not like Indians. You would be hanging on a chopper to Cotonou by now.

Double0h7:
Wow! This image has been used for the last 10 years with different types of stories attached. We live in a time where you’d be a fool to believe whatever you see on the internet. This poor disabled woman might even be with her ancestors by now and people are still writing fiction about her.

Although the image has been recycled over and over through the years as you rightly observed the mystery and supernaturalism behind the event it captured always rouses speculations as to its veracity. To this day, it is believed to be some sort of ruse or content creation dispelling any notion of the supernatural surrounding it. There are differing opinions regarding the situation in the image (or video clip).

In conclusion, the event defies logic and explanation. I have seen the video and how the tail wiggled animatedly as if it had a life of its own. If this is not a supernatural occurrence then a big question mark continues to haunt it wherever it is seen.
