If u speak against Tinubu government, u receive a ban.....I m beginning to think dis platform is no longer conducive for me

Nobody traveled abroad more than Obasanjo. Though most of his trips were non-medical or personal. But he made the word globetrottering popular. I believe he visited about 103 countries during his tenure.

Obasanjo is actually part of the problem. During his tenure all these mess you are witnessing today was brought back into our politics. You think Edris sang Jaga Jaga for fun? Or Blackfaze's Hard life was just for entertainment? Political opponents were killed, Bola Ige, Funsho Williams, Akande etc. He pursued Fayose from Ekiti via state of emergency and then impeachment. Seized Lagos State's Federal allocation, looked the other way when Ngige a sitting governor was kidnapped. Used El-Rufai as FCT minister to demolish houses, Ribadu at EFFC to harass political opponents. Saw to the impeachment of 3 senate presidents. Used INEC to rig elections, AD was strong in the West, APGA (a new party) in the East, ANPP in the North, but in 2003 elections the way PDP won was like magic, all the western states apart from Lagos went to PDP, same in the East. Ballot box snatching and stuffing was on another level. Let me stop here.

The problem is not pdp, but coruption in the judiciary, that is what he uses against them...

He bribes with heavy monies to the judges....

Tinubu's method also

Reference:
Simple. That is what it should be. That is the way democracy works everywhere it impacts positively on countries and nations. A government stands or falls on performance, period, no sentiments.

There is no other incentive for politicians to work for the good of the people if they cannot be removed by the people. No company or entrepreneur will employ staff it cannot sack if discipline or performance comes to question.

That is why the peak of democracy came in 2015 when a non performing and corrupt government was removed at the polls but since then performace has not been the criteria two elections after. This is the result in Nigeria today, all development indices today are below 2015 levels.

So it is up to Nigerians to decide if the present government has performed and deserves another term. They should decide if the government is listening to them, doing their bidding and improving their lives, whether it's austerity measures are equitable and sustainable, whether their lives and properties are safe going forward.

People should vote based on their experiences under this government, period.
When a school or job or professional examination is conducted the establishment is not interested in what you knew yesterday or what you may know tomorrow with more effort. You will get that position, promotion or certificate based on what you know and can do now.

Elections are the examinations of political office holders. You, Mr. Citizen are one of many examiners.

You've just done what I call wuruwuru to the answer . Using the minimum wage in Nigeria and then turning around using one of the highest pay in forign country. If you're earning minimum wage in 9ja, you have no business buying a crate of eggs, even while growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, we only ate eggs on special days not all the time. Just like someone earning $8 or $15 an hour has no business buying organic eggs for $16.99, there are options as low as $6, trust me if you are comparing egg cost, make sure to compare housing and healthcare cost too, na then you go know say una dey enjoy for 9ja

Nigeria is not working because the people just like the government are clueless!

Maybe Tinubu govt should rush back n bring Madam okonjo to come and confuse us a drop in FDI does not invalidate economic reform progress

if my taste board says your soup no Sweet bring white money or chef G they cant convince me it is sweet

Softmirror:
Tiwa is obviously going through depression which must have started after that sex leak of her's which the whole world has watched. Of course she is regretting and wishing she never brought a child to the world who will become ashamed of her. But then that is a side of the coin. The other flip side is Tiwa can choose to be mentally strong as well as fortify her son mentally too for the challenges ahead.

I wish her the very, very best in life.

Are we spending dollars in Nigeria? Just for you people to appreciate the efforts of this government, but you just can't as you might have sworn to something not to see the progress of Nigeria

nairalanda1:
My response is simples.

Nigeria has never had good leaders at all,even now

For us to have good leaders, we must have a leader who will do what okchina, Japan and Germany among many nations did.

If you think I support tinubu then that means that tinubu is following china and Germany example. As you can see he is not

Good evening. Not everyone who thinks different from you supports apc. I support Nigeria. Not apc or pdp

nairalanda1:
I am not here to defend APC...

Yes, very true, but the thing is, oil prices were going up, and then we got our loans forgiven in 2005. See the graph from 2006-when he left office. Naturally, confidence.

Same thing with Yaradua and GEJ...FDI was high because high oil revenues.

Same thing happened in 1973-82, when oil prices were high, and when we had car and truck assembly plants all over the country, and Lagos had a booming industrial sector...along with Ogun, and other parts of the country. Money attracts money.

If Obasanjo had stayed, by now we would be blaming him for squandering the oil money boom.

The best way to keep FDI High enough....you remove subsides, you reform the tax sector, you also fight corruption and invest heavily in education, especially technical education, and you invest in infrastructure like roads and railways. We have always failed in fighting corruption and education, and security.

i thought they said it never opened, or are we missing something here? The same people that claim that something never existed would cry the most that it's not working for 2months. How many months did it work when your favorites were there? If i were the president, it won't work again, let someone else come and solve it. At least, you go get campaign point.

If not that this nation is sick, how can an oil producing nation like us be importing PMS of up to 400,000 BPD. That's so ridiculously. And on top of that, the FG paid subsidy on all that massive quantity.

I hope importation quota runs dry to 0 by the end of this decade.

Those marketers ate crazily and massively over the past decades. I wonder why none of them had the initiative to build refineries before Dangote entered the game. Lmaoooo. They were too confident and comfortable eating our subsidies and fraudulently exporting our fuel to neighboring countries for insane markups. Lol. Never in their dream did they see a crazy, ogbontarigi, president like Jagaban with balls of diamonds arising and destroying the feeding bottles.

This is the past some manshafani want us to return to.

Our past encouraged laziness, zero initiative and innovation. That is changing now. By the end of this decade, our trade surplus will be bogus.

Abeg, e patewo fun Tinubu 👏👏👏👏

helinues:
Good

We are becoming more productive hence the increase in export

vinityermie:
I was wandering with everyone saying 2027 is done and dusted with all the defections and all. And arguably with the current president controlling all three arms of government. If they were to be an election today, I would you vote APC? I

A REMINDER THAT YOU WERE BORROWING $1.5 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY MONTH TO SUSTAIN NAIRA AND BORROWED TRILLIONS TO SUSTAIN FUEL SUBSIDY.

YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO PAY WORKERS,ASUU,NASU AND ALMOST ALL NIGERIAN WORKERS WERE ON STRIKE BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T PAY THE MEAGRE #18,000 AND #30,000 YOU PROMISED.

INSTITUTIONS WERE WARY OF BORROWING YOU MONEY BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PAY.
YOU DEPENDED ON LIFELINE AND YOU WERE DYING RAPIDLY.



TODAY,YOUR WORKERS ARE RECEIVING #85,000,#75,000,#70,000.
GOVS ARE RECEIVING TRIPLED ALLOCATIONS, THEY ARE PAYING THEIR DEBTS,SOME UP TO 90%.THEY ARE EXECUTING PROJECTS RIGHT,LEFT AND CENTRE.
FG JUST PAID OFF ALL IMF DEBTS,PAID OFF $7 BILLION FX BACKLOG ETC.
UNLIKE BEFORE WHEN YOU WERE DYING,NOW FITCH RATINGS,WORLD BANK,IMF,AfDB ETC ARE TELLING THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE NOT DYING ANYMORE BUT GETTING BETTER AND STRONGER.
YOUR EXPORT HAS GONE UP,LITHIUM FACTORIES ARE BEING SET UP IN NIGERIA IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL BE PRODUCING ELECTRIC VEHICLES,YOUR MINERAL SECTOR HAS GONE UP,THE GOODIES ARE NUMEROUS.


ONLY A MUMU AND A SADIST WILL LIKE TO GO BACK TO THAT UNSUSTAINABLE AND DYING LIFE YOU WERE LIVING BEFORE.

Also be reminded that the borrowing has not stopped despite Tinubus removal of subsidy, infact Tinubu has borrowed more money than all his predecessors despite his so called subsidy removal savings.
Are you even aware that he has recently proposed to borrow another 20Trn to take Nigerias debt to almost 200Trn so what is all this your tappings about?

If you don't allow him to leave the party, you would allow him to pull down the party.

A party man who is in govt of opposition, which he has said it several times, that he would work for his boss, the same boss that Ur party wants to contest against in 2027.

The way these people thinking is beyond comprehension.
