Oya, mention the impactful policies o.

Una go just open mouth, WA! and talk vaguely. No head, no tail.

trutharena:
These Northern youths are just looking for attention, meanwhile, President TINUBU is busy transforming the nation with impactful policies. Their protest won't stop the progress we're witnessing across the country!

sIfioksq:
Wole Soyinka always has something to say, but let’s be real. The man is a legend who thrives on drama.

Tinubu is steering the ship, and it’s about time the critics recognize that constructive dialogue is key. Not every address is going to please everyone, but progress takes time and patience. Let’s give our President a chance to navigate these turbulent waters.

The same time that was given to Buhari for 8 years? APC guys spotted. They forget that the people suffering now are not going to live forever.

But just yesterday, Minister Bagudu was saying the money obtained from fuel subsidy removal is what NNPCL is using to pay subsidy. So, technically, there is still fuel subsidy according to him. Please, who is deceiving who?
Some of you are very far from seat of power but talk as if you make decisions together and you understand what they are doing up there.

As it stands today, there is no clear accountability of the money obtained from subsidy removal. So you can clearly say it is beneficial for the masses.

Nvestor02:

If Tunibu decides to remove the subsidy, it would make him seem like the most incompetent president ever. But I know how brave Tunibu is, and I believe no amount of criticism will stop him from pushing Nigeria forward. Thanks.

Removing the subsidy is their main demand because the people behind this protest are the ones benefiting from it, and they want it back to drain Nigeria even more.

This decision is the right move to improve Nigeria. We've already seen how he increased the allocation by 41%. I can't understand what these people are thinking when they say Timangu is on the wrong path.

To make Nigeria better, everyone needs to make sacrifices. What you eat is your responsibility than the government's. Let that really sink in.

Just as they were used in 2023 to vote in APC.
You just need to deal with this or do you want to send them back to homes that do not exist?
Your allies, the APC, the boko haram and bandits have stolen their homes from them. After all, you did all that so that they will be easily controlled.

Nonsense APC people.

trutharena:
It's no surprise that the so-called "protests" in Borno are just a gathering of misguided youths. Zulum is right; these underaged protesters have no understanding of the issues at hand. They're simply being used as pawns in a political game.

First and foremost, it's like you have now agreed that your Tinubu and APC have failed.
Secondly, you have agreed that they should be held accountable for the state of hunger in the land.

Your error is that you didn't state another constitutional way asides protests to hold leaders accountable. You only asked people to find an alternative that you yourself don't know. Name an alternative effective strategy that the people can use to communicate their grievances.

People like you just babble saying a lot without saying anything.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Why are we still protesting in the rain when we know the government doesn't listen?

Instead of wasting energy on protests, let’s focus on real solutions for our hardship.

The rain will stop, but our problems will remain if we don’t change our approach.

It’s high time we stop the theatrics and start demanding accountability from our leaders.

Salewa97:
Another day, another protest. When will they realize that marching around won't solve our problems?

Instead of wasting time on the streets, why not channel that energy into something productive? Nigeria needs solutions, not just noise.

What solution have you enacted on your own side. You just sit in one corner to type political gibberish to sound intelligent but you actually don't understand how governance works.
I am very sure you don't understand the difference between politicking and governance.
Even you as you are, dem born you well to go meet Mr President say the policies dey affect you?
Only sane people knows that protesting in numbers does not mean people hate the government but they want their voices to be heard which can not be done individually.

So understand why people protest instead of derailing people's effort to make their voices heard.

Salewa97:
Women groups dey shout again, but we know say na just noise.

APC no get time for their drama, dem go still gather their small change and move on.

Make dem face reality, na only strong people dey stand for this political wahala.

Try to make sense of what you wrote up there. You just a partisan fanatic who has no mind of objective reasoning. All you do is support APC whether good or bad. Always choosing loyalty over honesty. There's no place for people who are have reduced their citizenry to being party loyalists in the future of this country.

Patriots are loyal to their country. They place country over politics and party. Only thieves and slaves are loyal to their parties and their rulers.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Protest don turn to joke.

Embassy staff dey fear for their life, but our people still dey plan protest like say na carnival. E be like say na only wahala we sabi gather for.

People staying off work looks like jokes to you? Hindrance to economic activity looks like joke to you? Are we supposed to get to the point where companies will tell their staffs not to come to work?The way some Nigerians reason is really sickening.

Bros, you get sense jare. Many of those governments asslickers don't understand simple things. They just support government policies without understanding anything.
Sincerely, I have gone to work at a place in Lagos like that, possibly a palliative store. That day, it was the same place APC was having their party meeting. If you see the the number of bags of rice and other foodstuffs there, at least 5000 bags. And entrance is strictly with party ID card.

I am sure even this one they are pushing out will be to their party secretariats. Nothing for common man.

Beremx:
Why not open borders for rice importation? How many people will have access to buying rice at 40k?

Another stampede loading...

Chinkoalhaji34:
E be like say dem don finally hear us. Na so e suppose be!

But you were opposing the idea of the protest before nah.

Some of you are without ideals. You just flow with anything.

So how do you keep the pressure on the government to deliver?

Most of you guys just talk as if you understand the dynamics of this country. You know nada. You ain't civil neither are you patriotic. Most of you guys are partisan lads.
Have you asked how the government plans to make 40k rice available to all Nigerians? Do the government have enough grains to go round? What concrete step have they taken in the right direction to address the concerns raised by the people except their futuristic words of promise? Please, always try to answer questions like these before you begin to write big grammars here with shallow thoughts.

Salewa97:
If the FG is saying there's no more need for protest, it means they are finally listening to the people. It's about time we see action instead of just noise.

Let’s hope they follow through with the promises made. Protests are a sign of discontent, and if they believe the issues are being addressed, then that’s a step in the right direction.

We need to give them a chance to prove that they can do better. The country deserves progress, not endless protests. Let's keep the pressure on them to deliver!

Mumu wicked souls. Don't they think before they act? Well, this that keyamo has done is just an infinitesimal fraction of the problem. Nobody understands nor cares to understand what you have done until the deadly hunger in the land recedes.

Instead of playing down protests by hungry people, suggest the "real solutions" hunger requires to the protesters and what they must do to arrest hunger. If you can't itemize the solutions, it is likely you'll be a paid agent. So, just keep quiet.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Niger State, where hunger protests are becoming a trend.

This is just another show without real change.

Those protesting should ask themselves if their actions will bring the food to their tables or just more noise in the streets. Hunger will not listen to mere chants; it requires real solutions, not just protests.

Let’s be realistic...

Thundafireseun:
Everything is Tinubu to dull people…

Have you asked your self what the Governor of the State is doing to stop this insurgence??

Dull people thin that the governor controls the police, the army and other armed security apparatus.

It's like some people think boko and bandit guys use traditional ammunitions to operate.
Well, governors do not need security votes since they do not have the constitutional power to provide security.
Also, Tinubu and Shettima are useless. They have all the power to solve insecurity problems but they look the other way for personal profits.

Open combat against terrorist boko and bandits will always fail because of the nature of the war and all the military leaders know this. If they don't know, then they are fools.
What if they infiltrate the terrorist apparatus just as the terrorists did to the army. Flow with the tide, understand their ways, penetrate and then eat them up like cancer.

This can only be achieved when the FG is serious about security. Not the useless mofos who are interested in stuffing up their pockets with public tax.

Peace

Now, you thought you've made sense right? In case of next time, always think before you write anything to the public space.

Kobojunkiee:
Christianity and attention whoring na 5&6.

Yet,I have never seen or heard them crying out when Leonardo Da Vinci's statue of David, also commissioned by the Catholic Church was depicted or used in similar manner.

I think democracy in Nigeria ended with Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

helinues:
The question you asked is actually very tricky. Not because I don't have straight answer to it but the hypocrisy behind it.

People would be blaming government, questioning the football club they support for not winning the league yet they can't even say this is what they have achieved since they have been condemning others. Before blaming the government, are you saying your success is tied with government?

Before questioning others, have you questioned yourself?

Really? This shows you no nothing about governance. So why does the constitution give people the right to vote? To enrich politicians or to just have the feeling of having a president or governor over you? Is it for jamboree or satisfy cravings like when your football club win the trophy?
I thought you're knowledgeable about governance.
It's like this guy doesn't understand what they call authority. Not even the great MKO survived the wield of power. How much more common men.
Let me make it simple for you: A government has the power to make policies that can enrich or impoverish the citizens no matter how hard they work. If you're still in doubt, go and read about North Korea.

DevilsEqual:
Boss, person just write epistle full everywhere like person wey wan send pikin go uni and she no even tackle any reasonable point at all

The whole thing dey disjointed sef ...na wetin epic mean for their camp be that

That was why you were thought passage summary in English Studies and wrote it in WAEC.

The summary of her long epistle is that the ONLY achievement Tinubu and his cronies can point to after a year is that they won the presidential election.

It's that simple. English language is not hard.

RodgersAkpafu:
it is clear that you lack an education

it's the MINISTRY OF FREAKING LABOUR that is going for ILO event (in case your not so bright self don't know what ILO means, go check on Google)
A govt agency
wasting the country's money while ppl are struggling
insensitive fellows

Nah you dey mind am

helinues:
Ministry of Labour right? Not ministry of Agriculture

How many labour union are going as delegates to the conference?

Wondering why some of you just like to argue blindly.

Tell us. How many? The last one they went in Dubai, how many real technocrats were there? Were they not mainly politicians that you support? We know how your APC government operate.

badoh:
Including you and your parents. If you think their policies are making your life miserable, leave the country for them and find another country that can bring your dream to reality, but wishing death on people is out of it and that's the reason I did 'back to sender" on your curse.

Nonsense is what you've just said.

He should leave the country as if he's a stranger here? He's got every right to be here just as any citizen. Nobody should leave for anybody. Nigeria is our common right.
Why do you think coups happen? I am beginning to think the military guys have liberal mind than many of you. They simply kill you when they see you want to make life unbearable for THEM (Not necessarily the masses).

With the state of this country now, Every man has got the right to fight for himself anyhow he feels best for him.
Nobody cares about anybody. Why should he care what's happens to anybody?

Slave mentality dey worry you.

Even me, I have always doubted Cardiso from day one.

It is well with Nigeria o

If Tinubu is the best of them, then Nigeria is doomed. Are these the materials we are going to be fielding for presidential elections?

If the best candidate - Tinubu who has now failed extremely woeful without any element of success, what is then left for the country?

If it is as this man says it, then, it means a Nigerian can not govern this country well and thus, the country should be returned back to the colonial masters

And some riggers will not have the boldness to tell others to go to court if they are not satisfied with inec declaration.

Nonsense government

helinues:
Nice one

Jostoman:
And you dont want labour to go on strike. Wickedness dey all these APC blood.

Bro, they are called zombies for a reason

CannibalTorment:
Those people saying 100k for minimum wage, remember that 60k offer is just for level 1 staff and no one is on level 1, they start from level 4 upward, presently Lagos state state on level 8 are collecting around 140k, we should think of hyperinflation.

Level 8 is a university Graduate. What can 140k do for a secondary school holder

theophorus:
Match of 90+minutes just reach 25minutes una don dey talk Abeg make he reach better level joor.

We go evaluate things when time reach, though we gree say heat dey town but still make we get some patience so that we no go rush dey conclude wetin no be am.

25mins dem don whip Una 10-0. Abeg you wan play for the remaining 65 mins.

The best you can do is to pray say make e no pass 15-0 at full time.

This government is dealing with people seriously and do not intend to slow down just yet with their calamitous policies.

muhammaduyusufu:
He would buy crude oil where it's cheapest as via his energy traders as Nigeria's crude is not particularly cheap, especially that it's sweet, and it's better refined for high octane premium gasoline.

It happens all over the world, Canada (an oil producing country buys crude from the US. US also buys crude from Canada and Saudi Arabia. UK buys crude from Libya even though it has crude in the North Sea e.t.c)

The refined crude would be what will flood the Nigerian market since cost of transportation will be eliminated, and Nigeria would have an edge as it's at its doorstep.

This will retain in the country forex used in importing refined crude. However, that minister needs to be sacked for extreme ignorance.

Even at that, dangote procuring crude oil from another country is our loss in FX and revenue.
What if he buys from Nigeria, refine and sell to Nigeria and export the excess. Imagine what that would have done to our FX.
Importation of all the things we need especially those we can produce locally has been our greatest undoing as a nation. Our economy is not that buoyant to follow after the patterns of the developed countries. We should be following all these developing Asian countries- Singapore, Malaysia etc. Even Vietnam has started manufacturing and exportation to Africa. These are examples for us. A baby has to crawl first before running.
This country needs a better economic strategy. The one we have is pure nonsense.

Quintessence44:
Nigeria is one of the most under-taxed countries in the world.

IF WE DON'T PAY TAXES WE CANNOT EXPECT IMPROVED SERVICES.

The reason LAGOS has been the leading state for many years now in terms of development is because they vastly increased their tax revenues.

That ILLITERATE MALLAM should shut his Gworo-chewing lips, and go learn how a modern economy works.

I don't agree with that your economic view of Nigeria because it is wrong owing to your fallacy of generalisation. Lagos made so much money from tax because people make so much money in Lagos. Many of us moved down to Lagos to make more money and it is fair for the government to tax the money we make. More than 80 percent of big companies in Nigeria operate from Lagos. Productions, shipping, banking, startups all take place in Lagos. Tell me 6 other states in Nigeria that can boast of economic activities like this. How do you tax an economy that does not generate money? Abi you wan dey tax beggar?
Simply put, the larger and potent your economy, the higher the potential for tax generation.

More than 30 states in Nigeria are just civil servant states. I mean civil servants with minimum wage of 30k, petty traders and subsistence farmers are the major economic drivers of the states.

Proudlyngwa:


The question is most Nigerian federal , state and local government workers , how productive are they.

Does there input into the system generate that amount or they just want to be paid for doing nothing

You will know the answer when they go on strike.

Let's hope the government can follow through on this and not make it an audio project as usual. It will go a long way in enforcing billing integrity on discos and push discos to identify points of energy theft.

But also, tariff of other bands are likely to increase if all customers are metered.
However, the most important thing is to make electricity supply available for businesses and people.
