So there's a place to build a sea port in SE now?
The presidents who shût down the sea port closest to u are same presidents u give standing ovation as the best (OBJ , Yar'adua and GEJ) yet u bIame FG?
The presidents u detèst the most are the ones opening same seaport, the president u detèst the most gave ur region 2nd Niger bridge, paid 13% derivation which ur governors swallowed, at least two states from SE collected that allocation, what did they do with it?
You state government and local government receive billions every month and squander it, it's their responsibility to provide basic amenities such as water, they cañ't provide but u will bIame FG for it, now they are not receiving enough?
Did u check the list of FG allocation at all?
If u checked the list of FG allocation u will be àshàmèd of what u typed.
The allocations dished to ur region every month including 13% derivation is swallowed but u wiII bIame FG and still tell us u have competent leaders?
LOL.
SEners, iIIitracy and Ioud mouths.

JagabanB:
But lgb0s brought Obi to come and rule Nigerîà?
What is "the country" that u accuse others of trying to destroy?
The country entails SE.
Now tell me, how successful is the SE?
U guys don't hàvè pipeborne water which is the sole responsibility of SE governors, all ur messiah combined can't provide water for u but it's more convenient to bIame others for it.
SE don't have a good transport network, but u bIame others for it, ur messiah signed a monorail deal that one tracked has not been laid till date.
Sanitation in SE is kak, 4 most dîrty states in Nigerîà has 2 SE states including Anambra, the other two are Lagos which is densely populated and Kogi, so Yorubàs and the north did this too, is it not part of destróying the country?
Schools in SE are very very expensive, same as health, good governance should make them cheap and affordable, other regions did that to u?
Talk about social infrastructures and u wóñ't see anyone that's worth while in SE, no world class road infrastructures in SE, imagine the cow shed a senator gave as ICT centre.
Many many roads in SE interior are not pliable.
The only thing u all contribute to this country is fIeeing to other regions but u still have d effrontery to say other people are destróying the country because u have Ioud mouths?

Enugurangers:
You are still not getting it. Buhari removed subsidy just before he handed over. For Tinubu to bring it back, he would have to include it in the 2024 budget that needs to go for Senate reading and approval. Subsidy is not like a light switch that you turn on and off.

Kcfresh2103:
Men you are good, how you managed to carve this out is something else.

Fellow Nigerians jona didn't tell us is the current form of defense for the hardship in the land.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
The protest was Nation wide. You don't have to lie. Infact even the old woman frying akara on the street was no where to be found in as far as Katsina.

Enugurangers:
Dude. Stop embarrassing yourself. Buhari removed subsidy.

adamusuleiman2:
You don't even understand what you are posting. Education indeed is not a scam.

adamusuleiman2:
You are not bright. Did you read what you posted. It says Buhari only made provision for the first 6 no the of 2023. Meaning subsidy stopped in June.

chopnaira:
Why is are you changing the topic? I just debunked your lie above.

chopnaira:
Wrong.

Buhari removed the subsidy. He made no provision for it for 2023. Tinubu just affirmed what Buhari already completed.

chopnaira:
The reason why we are here is because of the stupid Buhari policies and corruption.

Buhari and Emefiele ran Nigeria's foreign reserve dry sotey money no dey for fuel subsidy and to defend dollars again.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
There is nothing to be ashamed of. That was his stance, that was the stance of majority of Nigerians, almost every Nigerian was against the removal of the subsidy then. But today, it's a different story. What I find amusing is how Jonathan has since moved on but a people whose life style is inherently a life style of exploiting their fellow brothers will not allow the rest of Nigeria to rest over a change in stance of others. It's really pathetic.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
How old were you 12 years ago. What was your own stance?!

Zxcvbnmghtr:
It's ridiculous how these people keep running in circles while Jonathan have since moved on.

Frigga13:
Tinubu will resign ..

Is just time.. it will obvious to the blind and deaf.. that his administration has lost it .. so clueless on any idea or next move.

June .. naira hits 5000 ..

He will resign.. no worries.. on his own . He will run with his family

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.


He, however, provided a window out of the crisis: if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.

“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.

“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”

But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.



“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour. The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”

But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.


“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office. The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities.

People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind.”
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed, he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken.

“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”

The former governor however counselled protesters to go about the protests in a peaceful manner, and to eschew all forms of violence.

If they hate you so much, then you should not be migrating in large numbers to their region. 🤷🏾‍♂️
