First and foremost you're not a yoruba person. Be proud of your heritage. Being an impostor is a shamable thing to adhere to.
Yes! Tinubu deserve re-election because he's building the foundation of a Great Nigeria. He isn't looking at the immediate or temporary fix, it's a permanent and future solution. You lot lack the knowledge of how great ECONOMY work, it isn't built on subsidy or fake life 100%. It's 85-90% investment and the proceeds of such will cater for 10-15% subsidy, social intervention etc. Nigerians need to understand that they have to PAY for the good life they want. You can't get that via wishful thinking or borrowings.
Secondly, Nigerians should understand how democracy works. Democracy begins and it's at the core from Local Government, then state and lastly, federal. The federal can't and will never be successful trying to do the work of the state and local government. For the First time since Nigeria returned to democracy in 1999, we're seeing huge fund going directly to the local government to be able to perform its task judiciously as the CLOSEST government to the people. The state are now getting up to 3X previous allocation etc.. in demanding good governance,Nigerians should start from the Local government and state. Gone are the days that local government will be at the mercy of state government for fund to carry out it's PRIMARY DUTIES.
lastly, you said APC use religious campaign, how and when? It was Labour party via it's candidate Peter Obi that used RELIGIOUS TOOLS as campaign strategy. Get your facts right!

Alol, so you use name papa mama give you take register for NL

Foundation of great Nigeria by series of tax innovations, creating policies that dissuade productivity and more investment .. whats FDI saying

How do you build a great Nigeria with clearing "Corruption" ... have you seen bricklayer build a foundation on a site without clearing the land

When you say he is building for the future, what are developmental project ongoing now that can augment our Revenue in that nearest future ...

Nigerian have to PAY, wasnt that what they told us throughout Buhari 8yrs

Listen .. Tinubu govt as being combining both monetary and fiscal policies which sounds good on paper and the yielding results will only come on paper because he has no will mind to curb corruption, More money to the governor thats freely embezzled thats what we should be sacrificing for

Do local govt have autonomy for real, there last election was it election or selection ... with the way local govt are handpick what make you feel local govt funds are free from governors touch where wike is still dictate how fubara will spend more with Tinubu backing naa local govt chairman go tell governor No 🤣

OGa, aside writing english well you have raised no valid point relative to reality ... lets just say you are day dreaming
what can secure our future are developmental project and policies that facilitate investment ... not owo mi daa agbero approach

CommentatorPro:
Should Nigeria continue trusting career politicians, or is it time to let technocrats take over?
Let's hear from you

We are at a Point we've tested Politicians and we have tested Technocrat in government still no head way cos our system are to porrous

Politician or Technocrat .. NO lets do away with the "Title"calling, what we need is A Mentality a personality of "Dangote" in Whoever we chose to lead us ... you can dare n trample upon cabal imposing setbacks on progressive governance

Get the context i am not saying Dangote should cumma govern us .. i mentality alike, personality alike .. that ability to challenge "business as usual"

Tinubu has balls buh that one balls is to slap n kick Nigerians anyhow ... nothing go happen clearly not a leader for us

ogolemati:
we too complain for this country, everyone should chill at least it's going down by 2027 it will be sold at #50.lets support agbero chairman to give this country the touches it need

we tew complain ?? despite the complains See the state of the nation, health 0, power 0 governance 0 .... if we kum keep quiet nkor

Can you be in pain and keep quiet, or sleep,
we havent felt "comfort" you are asking us to chill, do you realize its our noise that made pengassan back down
from #530 poat subsidy removal pms is now 850 .. thats still a widen margin to capsulate " "coming down"

U09ce:
Only in Nigeria have I heard that joining unions is tagged sabotage and causing punitive measures. If the engineers were truly sabotaging the refinery, it wouldn't have reached its fruition.

Is that the only thing you've heard about in Nigeria, what a Man will be in PDP and he will be declaring support for APC on Tv,
what about it is only in Nigeria a your employed staff in an hotel will buy drinks aside to replace the ones they sold at vip price
i can go on nd on, my Point is it cost cheap for people to betray or sabotage in Nigeria, so far money is involve. pikin dey kidbap papa for ransom dey play

My question of the nite, with the antecedents of Dangote as top employer of labour over the last 25yrs .. of what need is the union to the employee

Dpsychologist:
Let’s be brutally honest — Black Tax is slavery dressed up as culture.

For those unfamiliar, Black Tax is the cultural expectation that once you start earning, your salary belongs not just to you, but to your parents, siblings, cousins — sometimes even uncles and aunties.
Sounds noble, right? But here’s the hard truth:

Many people in their 20s and 30s especially firstborns are stuck living like they’re still broke, not because they don’t earn, but because their family’s demands never end.
Everywhere in Africa, once you start earning, you’re automatically turned into the family’s ATM especially when not born with a silver spoon . It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out, if your salary is small, or if you’re struggling yourself — the moment you collect that paycheck, you owe everybody.

They call it “responsibility.” But let’s tell the truth:

It’s financial exploitation.

It’s entitlement disguised as love.

It’s one of the biggest reasons young Africans will NEVER break generational poverty.

The Trap

A graduate earns ₦70k.

₦20k to mum.

₦15k to dad.

₦10k to sibling.

Another cousin calls for school fees.

Uncle calls for “urgent 5k.”

At the end of the month, guess what’s left? Zero.
No savings. No investment. No future. Just endless poverty cycle.

And when you dare say “No,” you’re suddenly the wicked, ungrateful child.

The Irony

Here’s the painful part:

The same parents who drained their kids often never saved or invested when they were young.
They now dump the responsibility of their own financial failure on their children.

Instead of empowering the next generation, they enslave them with guilt.

And let’s be real — how many families use this money wisely?
At times, it goes into wasteful spending while the “breadwinner” suffers in silence.

The Hard Truth Nobody Wants to Hear

If African youth keep paying endless Black Tax, nobody will ever be rich.
One person cannot save a whole clan. Period.

👉 A child’s duty is not to fund laziness, poor planning, or entitlement.
👉 If you destroy your own financial future to please family, you will just create another generation of broke people.

The Conversation We Need

Should young Africans build themselves first before carrying family on their back?

Is saying “NO” selfish, or the only way to break free?

At what point does “support” turn into slavery?

Until we face the truth, Black Tax will keep Africa chained to poverty.

What’s your take?
Are we ready to break this culture, or are we too afraid of being called “selfish”?

Black Tax Negativity only exist on " iDEOLOGY ... givers never lack 100%
the truth is almost people looking to you for help will always be under you why you continue to excel the thought of failing them is enough to keep you on your toes.

Look around every family that one person helping .. remains richer year in year out .. my father raised is siblings children,paid 7children school fee plus his own kids ... that didnt stop him from building a house or changing cars till he died

People forming over educated, using grammar to sugar coat there stingyness weytin dem achieve ... don jazz , david, mr banks are all givers they pay black tax joyfully now bring out that stingy man you know richer than this people
ordinary portable as transformed is family, is broke now or naa house e no see build

if God is blessing your hustle, black tax no fit run you nada, carry your stingy mind with full chest leave story

johnmartus:
This is problem I always have with people most especially Nigerians some Nigerians will not mind their business this poke nose can't be obtainable worldwide the nonsense things start in Nigeria and end in Nigeria.

If laide give her daughter alcohol or poison please what's your business how does it affect you?she call you for help? I don't know why some can't just be like me.

If our cultural pecularity is your problem a pray it never solves ... like you said its only in Nigeria you can have problem nd friends, neighbour, outsiders have no issue supporting financially

i grew up in the generation my neighbour raised my, my parent dont have time .. the neighbour look after me n my younger ones .. unlike the gen Z padlock inside me n my parent .. you can see how sensible they are


We are Who we are, no other country culture or socialization is better than ours .. take it to palmpay

knowing how you contributed and supported the Tinubu campaign ... thumbs up for speaking out

i keep saying Most of us supported Tinubu out of optimism we meant well and we thought Tinubu is progressive

a sey baba wère just want to jaiye presidency and enrich his political friends more

Burob:
Some Ndigbo persons, must always find reason to wail, good or bad, they must find a reason to wail.

Damned if u do, damned if u don’t.

kilon ma se eyin omp kekeke nairaland yii nor .. like i told your fellow coconut head ranting

commossioning is not the issue, infact kudus to the governor But some using those miniature project to justify subsidy money to governor as benefit makes no sense

Ambode bigger project, wike delivered so many project, Umahi as governor did better project with less money to governor

justifying subsidy fund to governor is not tenable here, without subsidy fund they cant do it abi

Exousiang01:
Oga this is your ignorance speaking.
Most governors while commissioning have stated this.
I just told you that Mba of Enugu state said the same thing when he commissioned the new busses and bustops. Even Soludo said the same thing. So what is your problem.
If the governors from different states are saying the same thing that the senator has said why are you crying about it.
Otti himself has said this on so many occasions.
I don't understand you ignorant folks, you don't know and yet you hate knowledge, even when you are told you fight the knowledge.

Why will he be sharing testimony of other states in Abia state? The testimony was right there, the project they were commissioning is the testimony so why will he be talking about another state?
He was there for Abia state and not any other state.
Otti said the same thing the man said.
Are you sure you are alright?
HOW OLD ARE YOU

Bro are you some toddler, what a this they say they say .. Politicians will say Anything But its left for us that listen to use our brain

what did Alex otti do, what did Mbah commission that governors could not back when subsidy fund was not diverted to governor,
Akpabio built airport and world class stadium, El rufai rebuilt Abuja, fashola, Ambode this are guyz that delivered excellent developmental project with subsidy funds

Then some clown politician is trying to justidy " subsidy removal " with a govenor conmissioning local govt projects

this one said that one said it, they are politicians they act alike But does it make sense, does it commensurate more money to governor

We have seen bigger project commissioned by governors with less fund .. thats the fuss

Exousiang01:
He was in Abia state for the commissioning of projects was he supposed to start talking about other states?
Some of you have very high level of low understanding.
So Abia state governor invites him for commissioning then when he is to address the people of Abia state you are expecting him to start talking about other states.
Has Mba not said this same thing the last time he commissioned the new buses, didn't the governor of Enugu state say this same thing?
Has Oti himself not said this on several occasions.
When you wan hate dey try use your brain dey do the hating

If he had witnessed commissioning in other states he wouldn't be so specific on subsidy removal yielding in Abia state ..
wait a minute if he shared testimony if what he saw in other state would it be treason or governor otti will flog him ... won't it have being a plus on Tinubu they all asslick

Anyone that want to play on intelligence and justify subsidy removal at an event must be able to make a reference @least on a broad scale
if he had not mentioned subsidy we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Kemetian:
How many of the 36 states have you visited in the last year to know what is happening there?

ANSWER = ZERO.

Same with 99% of posters here.

Ridiculous forum of kids.

Look

And why will i risk my life to visit 36state when one lawyer called to bar visited one n was kidnapped

However we live in a jet age i dont need to visit states with looming development b4 i can know... social media will feed me, videos, comments are good tips, catch up

My friends in Uk know nd follow whats happening in Nigeria , they just re verify and get a clearer picture asking me about it .. did we travel to benue to see the flood that hindered the president visit .. but we saw the flood on media,. should i remind of people like Alexreport

gideonvalor98:
And no one is waking up at your own side. It will shock all of you come 2027. No tribe or ethnicity in Nigeria can topple the Yorubas. You'll all wail in vain! PBAT till 2031

Nigeria election 2027 is not about yoruba supremacy or whatever you trying to mischievous pursue

So far no one is taken yorubaland from us or evicting us " Topple" make no $en$e

Apc played the religious card in 2023, will the next line of action is to play the " Tribal card" ... but they will fail ... if a igbo man is president i can thrive with enabling environment fine

Tinubu is not my Father name, how does yoruba man as president benefit my life .. is it discount at petrol station or i get discount at the embassy becos i am yoruba nd Tinubu is yoruba

Nigerians we must Rise beyond this ludicrous sentiments politicians use to manipulate Us. Tinubu is yoruba, so does he deserve reelection, how ??

kunle4toyeyaho:
Those of us who are real Nigerians believe in Mr. President and we pray he succeeds.By the grace of God ,PBAT's victory in 2027 will be a resounding one.

Real Nigerians becos your blood is green and your saliva is white abi

when a Tinubu supporter talk you see lowiest level of reasoning why should we vote a Man who only achievement is stats on paper

So 2026 Tax shege Nigerians will suffer, ka tun gbe Tinubu wole ... so he can kuku Tax us for oxygen becos money is never enough

So out of 36 states you can only postulate Subsidy removal funds is beneficial in Abia ... is that not a call for concern 1 of 36 .. weytin low pass F9 sef

therefore we should call pasuma and kill cow .... how much is abia receiving compared to oil states that are recieving more n doing nothing

it not only you, there is a clamp down media house to underreport insurgences in Nigeria.

The president want to travel outside n lie freely, Nigeria is Save under him, people can travel anywhere with peace of mind

Gotocourt:
Common sense should tell you whether it's listed or negotiated .
He was listed "yes"
He negotiated "No"

See as this one dey do self rumble ... he was listed as "Negotiator" ... if you can't understand that simple sentence naa your problem

if i dial your number nd you missed my call does it negate i called you

Gotocourt:
Even Buhari had to run to Kaduna for his safety as the violence of banditry escalated

if you like say he ran to Sokoto or ran to kafanshan the Fact remains he was listed as a negotiator, we remember its not a matter of whether jonathan said it or not

Osidazz19:
This man should go and rest. All these shalaye is nothing but trying to get sympathy.
You failed woefully as a president to the extent that you were borrowing money just to pay salaries.
Not a single meaning monumental project to his name in 5 to 6 years of presidency except for sending CAN leader to SA to purchase arms for thr military. Joker

You can say more BUT Apc regime as being a monumental Failure,

We remember Jonathan isnt the best, but economy was better under GEJ, we know what we were borrowing for and the people felt it

Under Tinubu all subsidy is gone and yet he keeping borrowing for what we can't tell or see.. whatever Apc wants to say to tarnish Jonathan the truth is Tinubu is even worst when compared

Biglittlelois:
I like how men are starting to realise women are polyandrous in nature, it balances the equation so that everyone can navigate how they can cope and endure as they see fit.

Nah, don't play confusion here, Women are naturally whores, if men can get the slighiest idea of what goes thru a gurl mind ... if not society wey clamp down on that gender

No woman in right frame of mind wants more than One husband, give a woman all the power and money she no go marry pass one Man at a time

Women are whures nd dey desire to be hammered as whures, women that get that inside hardly cheat

Streetinvestor2:
Seyi is the next governor of lagos state whether anyone likes it or not

the way you una go dey talk sef, make we no kuku waste money do election again ... make Tinubu just write Will list names of governor for the next 30yrs down

Na this world we go dey wey Tinubu go cross ... we shall see how Seyi will continue the captivity

ideologies:
more pictures from Gallery

looking at the picture, new people have taken the sit that belongs to pocohantas ... see risky n motunde for back those ones there case

Focusmind:
Lets be truthful to ourselves - the Nigerian state gave us free education!!!

Most of us paid next to nothing throughout the university years and still travelled abroad with the knowledge acquired from Nigeria to excel even further in our new places abroad. Schooling abroad is not cheap, even for the citizens.

i cant figure what you trying to justify here, buh however that "Abroad you mention you take vex me

1. What's the rate of unemployment abroad
2. What's the minimum wage and cost of living, how much salary remains when you buy food

Fiy, Abroad there are subsidized schools or programs you can enroll, that offer a credible certificate to work, the school loans are accessible, flexible with conducive installment plans

ogahshtu:
The beauty of Aba The Enyimba city is getting restored gradually, and some haters won't like it , quote me with hate and get ready to suffer for 6000 years......no joy no mercy

what is beautiful about darkness, cant you see almost the entire city is in Darkness, una get Gen una no fit buy fuel ... naa car head light on so for road

tnerro1:
True I agree with you, the renewal policy is a scam and also asking factory fitted cars to do permits is also a scam, as long as the driver and passenger glasses are see through, they don’t need any tint permit, that mean all SUVs will require tint permit

i use an SUV, as far back as 2015 police don hold me for tint permit .. funnily nobody at the back just me at the front in a clear glass

the good news is the case is in court, we just need to create more awareness to mitigate police using it to extort for now. The way Tinubu is convert every institution into Revenue generation entreprise will soon Drive Nigerians to an explosion mode
from 2026, Nigerian wont know what hit them with the incoming Tax

tnerro1:
I did mine online and it was so easy and I printed it out and is now in my car, but no one don stop me sha cause maybe na very light tints

registration and printing is no ones problem, we all pass thru jamb wahala

the problem here is the Tinted permit renewal yearly exposes the cracy Revenue drive of Tinubu led govt ... i did my tint permit 2017 since then e no reach 3 times police have asked me for it

they just want to use every avenue to Tax Nigeria, very soon weddings will be registered and tax, naming ceremony you will pay tax .. instead of exploring our reaources they prefer Tax a short cut to easy revenue

helinues:
That's the advantage the kidnappers have been using

i knew you wil go for kidnappers ... i am sure you are above 20yrs @least .. at the time " one chance" trended was it tinted car they use ... danfo, public bus were use to kidnap people
the chibok gurls kidnapped by boko haram was it tinted car they used .. you cant defend Apc n make sense

The gurl that got raped n die inside BRT bus ... was the glass tinted

All a kidnapper needs to get victim to cooperate is just a gun, they are just being myopic

, i can kidnap you, force you into the car boot nd get away in a clear glass car Since police are focused on tinted cars

helinues:
Let all tinted car window should be duly registered. It's for safety of everyone

How is tinted glass an accessory to any of the insecurity challenges ravaging the country, is it bandit that ride in tinted cars or is it boko haram that ride tinted cars into villages to massacre

If " $en$e" is not missing, why should " tinted glass " be police priority over " okada" ... terrorist, bandits use bike to eneoute the forest the police can't come up with stringent measures to address that

TBH Tinubu have only come to inflict hardship upon this country .. even our police have been reduced to Revenue generating entreprise, the sole aim of pushing Tinted permit is to make money of Nigerians

Tinubu n his team sit every day thinking of what to tax n extort Nigerians

ulysses:
I believe thise time it will come to reality. Ajaokuta holds the key to Nigerian industrial revolution.
The steel summit in August 2025 was key and an opening pathway to glory.
The Minister for Steel Development, MD CEO of Ajaokuta Steel Company & Honourable Member Representing the good people of Ajaokuta Federal Constituency, Kogi State Indivines and every Nigerians will be the ultimate beneficiaries.
Let's join hands together ❤️

For you, it all about optimism and blind trust, everything you wrote make sense But you forget the people in govt are Insane, they are not in govt to develop anything there goal is to looot, steal and explore every avenue to embezzle national funds


Do you know since when they have been cashing out on Ajaokuta and refineries back to back .... in all they have said what are they proposing now that depicts doing it another way

Is that a News, are we expecting to give up his last shot at the presidency ... by 2031 he will be how old ??

He knows he cant win, buh he ensures being a spoiler
