Politics › Re: 2027: Why Fuel Subsidy Must Never Be Returned. by creativejagaban: 1:35pm On Aug 22 |
Penguin2: As the campaign for 2027 presidential election kicked off, Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the ADC, has ignited a very troubling conversation by suggesting he would return fuel subsidy if elected.
While the suggestion is populist, like most people have described it, and appealing to the ignorant masses who do not understand the dynamics of macroeconomics, there’s need to educate the electorate against such proposition.
First, returning fuel subsidy means returning to square one of what successive governments have been trying to solve before Tinubu eventually damned all consequences to remove it.
If you return subsidy today, agreed their might be some temporary relief for the masses as the price of fuel might drop drastically, and with it the price of transportation and basic commodities in the short term, in the medium and long term, Nigeria will simply return to the Egypt that it is currently trying to exit.
What I mean is this…. After about 6 months paying subsidy, government finances will begin to strain. The money going to State Governments will reduce from what it currently is, and with time, States will start finding it difficult to pay salaries again.
Then in the long term, government will, all over again, begin the campaign for fuel subsidy removal to free up funds.
After some years, another president that is not Atiku will come and decide that fuel subsidy is no longer sustainable, again, and we will hear that evil phrase again - “subsidy is gone.”
Do I need to tell you what will happen again?
Fuel prices will skyrocket again.
Cost of transportation will balloon again.
Prices of basic commodities will start flying again.
And then what? We return to this current situation that Atiku is proposing to save us from; all over again.
So, before you jump to support Atiku, think it through.
The mistake you are going to make in jumping to support Atiku because he’s promising to return fuel subsidy is the same mistake that some Nigerians made in 2012 by joining political jobbers to protest against Jonathan when he removed subsidy during his presidency.
What later happened? The same person that led that protest became president 12 years later and removed the same subsidy that he led ignorant people to protest against.
So, before you support Atiku, ask yourself if you want Nigeria to keep running round a circle or to move on from every stage and hurdle we have crossed?
The effect of fuel subsidy removal is biting hard, admitted, but the solution is not to return it, rather we should continue to bear it until we achieve equilibrium. That way, we are sure we and our children are never going to have to suffer the effects of subsidy removal again.
Penguin is a bird of reason. Who takes Atiku seriously. Will Obi also crack his own joke by saying he would remove the unification of the fx  Tinubu till 2031. |

Chachalogo: Tinubu is only fooling himself. Abdul-Aziz Yari cannot sell him to northerners. Tinubu is very unpopular right now up north. Tinubu's best bet is SW and a few SS states.
Adeleke's public pronouncement that he's supporting Tinubu because his Yoruba will be another factor for the 2027 election. The election will be heavily regionalised. Yoruba governors are not the only ones who can support their own. Igbo governors too will support their own. Fulani governors too will support their own. That statement by Adeleke was a very big political mistake. You can argue it but fact is fact. The whole Igbo states vote is not up to Osun own. Dey deceive yourself Jare. Kaduna (Uba Sani) is for Jagaban. Kano (Abba Kabir Yusuf) is for Jagaban Katsina (Dikko Umar Radda) is for Jagaban Kwara (AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq) is for Jagaban Zamfara (Dauda Lawal) is for Jagaban Jigawa (Umar Namadi) is for Jagaban Nasarawa (Abdullahi Sule) is for Jagaban Benue (Hyacinth Alia) is for Jagaban Plateau (Caleb Mutfwang) is for Jagaban Borno (Babagana Umara Zulum) is for Jagaban Taraba State (Agbu Kefas) is for Jagaban Yobe State (Mai Mala Buni) is for Jagaban Gombe State (Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya) is for Jagaban Kogi (Usman Ododo) is for Jagaban Niger State (Mohammed Umaru Bago) is for Jagaban FCT (Nyesom Wike) is for Jagaban Tinubu till 2031. |

In all this, I feel pity for obedient. They lost at last.
No way Adeleke will work with Peter obi nor Atiku.
Atiku visited Osun, campaigned for the ADC candidate forgetting Adeleke won Osun State in 2023 for him.

Politics › Re: Governor Adeleke Visits Wike, Presents His Certificate Of Return To FCT Minister by creativejagaban: 10:38am On Aug 21 |
EponObi: Lol... People keep failing to understand politics.
No be the same Wike they were abusing days ago for saying Tinubu allowed free and fair election that if they wanted to win Osun, they would done so. He even said he would have been involved in the election himself.
Now tell me the reason, just one, Adeleke visited Wike to present his certificate after visiting Tinubu in Aso Villa? Just one reason please. Why is he presenting his certificate to Wike of all people? Wike no even dey APC. Na PDP him dey. Na Accord Adeleke dey. He even visited with Davido who tweeted "APC is evil" and many stuff. 😂
Why did Davido fold, remove his cap, then prostrate when he boosted to the same Wike that he defeated "them", and Wike challenged him with "you defeated us abi?" Did you notice Davido's body language? He was like "na play I dey play ooo" Did you see how he hugged Wike who was seating on the chair? Notice the confidence Wike used to reply "you defeated us abi?" Also note how Adeleke's entourage quickly stood up, bowed, when Wike said so. 😂😂😂😂
See, politics is not about emotions. If you open your eyes, you don't need to be in inner circles to understand some things. You just need to add one to two.
No be same Davido that was shouting Trump up and down? 😂😂😂
Did you remember that Adeleke outburst at Tinubu during the campaign? When he shouted "shebi ati endorse yin, kile tun fe ka se?" meaning "Haven't we endorsed you? What else do you want?" When he thought Tinubu instructed EFCC to block Osun State Bank accounts?
I will just leave it at that. With time, more will be revealed. 🤣🤣🤣
Also remember Keyamo tweeted "Agreement is agreement" in quote. 😂 Abeg, who popularized that phrase in Nigeria? 😂😂 You go learn last last.
Politics!!! 😂 Na Makinde go upset and shock people the most. This one with the Adelekes is just a prelude. 😂 You are dreaming if still think Tinubu is not going to win Osun with a landslide. Lets wait if Adeleke will present his certificate to Peter Obi  Tinubu till 2031. |

Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway 2. Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway 3. Calabar–Ebonyi–Benue–Nasarawa–Abuja Highway 4. Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe Road 5. Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano Expressway 6.

Eleme Junction–Onne Port Road 20. Bodo–Bonny Road 21. Nembe–Brass Road 22. Lekki Deep Seaport evacuation corridor. 10 THINGS PRESIDENT Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu HAS DONE THAT PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS DIDN’T: 1. State Finances: Instead of bailouts and unpaid salaries, states now have significantly higher revenues and greater fiscal stability. 2. Consumer Credit: Through CREDICORP, Nigeria is building a structured credit culture, giving workers access to affordable financing and opening the door to broader financial inclusion. 3. State Police: A long-discussed security reform that previous administrations couldn’t advance is finally gaining traction. 4. Local Government Autonomy: For the first time, grassroots governance is being treated as a priority, bringing governance closer to the people. 5. Electricity Decentralization: States can now generate, transmit and distribute electricity, ending decades of excessive centralization.6. NELFUND: Students from low-income families can now access tertiary education funding without the traditional financial barriers. 7. Tax Reform: The tax system is being simplified, reducing the burden on low-income earners while improving compliance and accountability. 8. ASUU Stability: For the first time in many years, Nigerian students are completing academic sessions without prolonged nationwide ASUU disruptions. 9. Mega Infrastructure Projects: The Sokoto-Badagry Super Highway, Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, and Lagos-Abuja Super Highway represent infrastructure ambitions on a scale rarely seen in Nigeria’s history. 10. Food Inflation Reversal: Nigeria is witnessing a decline in food prices after a period of sharp increases; something many Nigerians thought would never happen once prices had risen. Love him or hate him, these are major structural reforms and projects that previous administrations either could not or did not implement. Let me add one more: NO MORE QUEUES AT FUEL STATIONS!!!!!!! May Nigeria win. REMEMBER THE CAMPAIGN HAS STARTED!!!!!!I WONDER WHAT OBI AND ATIKU WILL CAMPAIGN WITH, EXCEPT TO TALK ABOUT HUNGER!!!!! I HEAR ATIKU SAID HE WOULD BRING BACK THE SUBSIDY. IS HE REVERSING HIMSELF?  Tinubu till 2031. |

Putting Mr for person name in a cooperate setting is not a bad idea. Even whites will mostly Add Mr or Mrs or Miss. We have culture. We are Africans. You should always show respect, no matter your placement. It doesn't take anything away from you. The practice of calling a much older person by name is English culture. It is not only Nigerians that learn formal education from the western world, even Chinese, the Japanese and the Indian did. Yet those ones did not drop their cultures. In fact, they embraced their cultures the more and showcase it to the world. So why shouldn't we embrace and even over-practice our culture of respect. It is the erosion of our culture of respect that has made some uncultured lambanus behave recklessly online and abuse anyone that cross their path. Some of them even wake up their parents with sliding tackles. As how now? At least, I know the omoluabis will NEVER abandon our very rich culture, anyways. Omoluabi ni mi. Tinubu till 2031. |

Jaywon234: …33 More Suspected Electoral Mercenaries Arrested in Ede
The Osun State Police Command has arrested a serving member of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Abiola Ibrahim Inaolaji, alongside 146 suspected electoral mercenaries camped at his residence in Ikire.
The lawmaker, who represents Irewole/Isokan State Constituency in the Osun State House of Assembly, was arrested on Friday night during a police operation. More than 200 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) were reportedly recovered during the operation.
In a video clip, Ibrahim was seen making a preliminary statement in which he identified himself and allegedly confessed to facilitating the movement of the 146 suspects into Osun State from neighbouring states for the purpose of voting in the election.
The arrest is part of intensified security operations by the police ahead of the election, as the command moves to prevent activities capable of undermining the credibility of the electoral process.
In a separate operation at Babs Hotel, located behind the State High Court in Ede, operatives of the Anti-Robbery Section and the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) arrested 33 suspected electoral mercenaries.
The suspects comprised 30 males and three females and were arrested following credible intelligence about the presence of a group of persons allegedly assembled for suspicious electoral activities.
According to the police, preliminary investigations indicated that the suspects were brought into Osun State from Ondo State to participate in unlawful electoral activities.
The suspects reportedly told investigators that they were recruited by a yet-to-be-identified politician, who allegedly facilitated the procurement of voters’ cards for them and instructed them to vote in exchange for financial rewards.
Four voters’ cards were recovered from the suspects and taken into police custody as exhibits.
The command said investigations had commenced to identify and apprehend other accomplices still at large and to unravel the full extent of the alleged network involved in the recruitment of electoral mercenaries, voter inducement and other related offences.
