However,and unfortunately he's a one term President (OTP)

Almighty God is that you ?
When did you join nairaland?


With your one vote , bold of you sha

richmondefosa:
This is a lie. See the screenshot below.

You made the allegations and still brought proof the allegations were false, so go get your flowers

Omoawoke:
So wrong!!

So so wrong!!

People that act without applying the content of their head but only out of sentiments, misinformation and emotional manipulation don’t deserve a place in a civilized society

The fact remains that Naira Marley is 100% innocent of the entire accusations of whatever they tried to sell to tarnish him

The only thing naira Marley is innocent of is a actually killing Mohbad
All other allegations have proven to be true
He's a cultist
He a bully
He deals drugs
Uses his crew to distribute

emmanosyclo:
But I learnt they indicate DLC (Distance Learning Centre) on their certificate. In what way are they better?

Because that is what it is, it's distance learning

Morbeta11:
can't pretend anymore. What's the real name of this fruit?

It's name is FRUIT.

But some people claim its name is almond, but for naija, it's name remains FRUIT

anyilalaz:
Then, the middle was more than 95%!!

Middle class, the backbone of any thriving economy. As of when PDP left the government, that class was close to 75%. The government of Buhari reduced and eroded it to 40%.
Tinubu now exacerbated it to 3% and still going down. By January 2026, with all the tax reforms, that remaining percent will be gone.

That is why major brands are closing shops. The ones remaining are either selling at exorbitant prices and at a lower quality or higher price with reduced quantity.

Hopefully when the full tax reform takes place which everyone that has an account must have a TIN (Tax Identification Number), and the impact becomes obvious, then we can now begin to hold our political office holders responsible and begin to elect the best of us to lead instead of the current state capture by persons with questionable characters, ex-convits, cultists, terrorists and religious fanatics, etc

But if you will be honest, it's a worldwide phenomenon , the global middle class has shrunk significantly in the last decade.

If you remember this, then you are old, or getting old o

I'm sure this is the reason why the Turks changed their country name to Turkiye

SeeWahala:
There is no way in hell that another man from another state will govern Lagos after 2027.

That year will mark the turn of a new leaf in the politics of Lagos state.

GRV is the incoming. The man is detribalized and will welcome everyone else into Lagos without screaming RoNu or "they want to take over our land"

See your hypocrisy

What is the difference between what you wrote here and what Bayo Onanuga posted about 2023 being the last time igbos will interfere in the politics of Lagos....
Na that Chinedu boy I dey pity here, he won't realize the damage he is doing now , just hope he won't realize too late

OneCandleAway:
So you don't want people to live indecent apartment. They must live in squalor? Isn't it in big cities there are jobs or are you blind to the many businesses that have closed since 2023 to date?
You lack empathy for your fellow man.

It's you who wants to deceive people that they won't make it if they don't live in big cities
Na lie
If you can't afford to live in a big city , look for the one that you can afford and relocate there. Many people are killing themselves because they feel they can't make it outside big cities, they just be managing poverty when their lives could change for the better by simply just relocating

stasius:
You are actually right.
His company is private.
He can actually make you sign a document that you cannot join any union while coming to work for him.
He didnt force them to apply.
They begged to apply and work for him.

The issue is that many of the 4000 new drivers are NUPENG members , Dangote should thread carefully
You may be able to fight government and succeed
Its another case when fighting the unions, even government bend las last

fineboynl:
Most people are nor bothered because they don’t understand it. 800k a year as benchmark is just 500$ which can barely buy a big freezer or a modern smart tv.

800k isn’t even enough for a single person nor to tank of family people. The government has lost touch with reality. To rent a room selfcon total package is heading for 1m.

And you are talking about 20% tax that’s insane and insensitive. There haven’t been massive protests in this administration that why they keep having the moral makings harsh policy. The income tax will be the last straw.

Where?

All these people that live in big cities that think everywhere is like the city they live in
No it's not
Several Nigerian states are very very cheap to live in, don't kill yourself saying you must live in a big city.
1m for self contain? Must you live where you can't afford to?

DomPerignon:
Ojukwu was then left with old Nigerian pound notes that he could not exchange.


Lmfao.

Ojukwu really play una shege

Now it makes sense that he not only came back to Nigeria and was pardoned, he openly campaigned for Sheu Shagari , a Fulani man, He was flat broke
The money he thought he had successfully pilfered was useless

helinues:
I am actually curious about somethings..

Under this government, most of the sectors and institutions are now independent..Should we still be blaming the presidency for some things.

The insecurity in North, starting from the NSA Ribadu who is from the North, Governors, to the Senators, HOR members, HOA members, Emirs, group leaders etc.

Please what's their own responsibility in the killings here and there in North lately?

Don't lose sleep
It's the usual northern pattern whenever a southerner is in power.... CDS Musa, a northern christian thats not afraid to speak already spoke
The spike in insecurity and killings is tied to the next general election. They need to create the atmosphere of fear so that a northerner can become President.

But don't you know Pbat again, he will sort it out.
The Kaduna dwarf is a main suspect and it's his former friend NSA ribadu that will clip his wings when the time comes.

SarkinYarki:
Some of us are speaking from history of the corrupt cesspit called Nigeria , this is not the first time a satellite will be lost months after fake launch na

And is Nigeria the only country to have had their satellites fail?
You no get point abeg
Satellites launches fail from time to time, it's no big deal.

Sonnobax15:

The world would have been a better place had it been Abraham didn't invest and injest his pap into his side-chick and after that,gave birth to Ishmael

It's not anybody's fault that Sarah was unable to give birth earlier now and it was Ishmael that opened the way for Isaac to come into the world, show some gratitude boy

jmoore:
You guys are funny. Reno Omokri should speak for himself na.

Don't be his spokesman.

And did Tuokpe send you too

Kettle calling pot black as if him na white

jmoore:
Why can't Reno fact check his ex-wife claims of abandoning his son?

Which was investigated and found to be false.

Reno lived and worked in American so he knows the law , even made a name for himself in America
If the authorities as much as suspect hes done what she accused him of, they will bundle him to jail immediately but since they haven't done that, the ex wife is lying

adekolaelect:
Stop giving yourselves fake hope . No Government can take Nigerians poeples out of poverty but themselves. Rufai was a governor for 8 years , he was a minister for 12 years if not more . What poverty has he eradicated from his poeple before he start speaking like motivational speakers only when power no dey with him in the just 2 years ago?

Like Amaechi like Elrufai

Bunch of entitled Mfkers

Was in government for 23 years , out of government for only two years and claims he is hungry, imagine Amaechi o....

omoredia:
Buhari said more than El rufai is saying and when he became president what happened?

That's the point.

It will be sad if people let the media whitewashing of Elrufai deceive them he will or has changed, a leopard does not change its skin.... Buhari was packaged, called a repentant democrat but he got to power and was even more dictatorial than when he was military HOS aside the fact that he is unrepentantly Fulani centric, thats how he was able to lock down 12 Million votes all the time.
Elrufai sees himself as buhari incarnate

AMINDA:
Maybe he didn't end poverty in 8 years as governor but he took Kaduna from an average of 9 billion naira per year IGR to over 60 billion naira when he left office. Kaduna became the Northern State with the highest IGR during his tenure. Kaduna was consistently top 5 state that attracted the highest FDI while he was governor. He embarked on the iconic and ambitious KadunaUrbanRenewal drive that transformed the city of Kaduna into a very modern city. You can either visit Kaduna to see for yourself or do your research online. There's no Nigerian alive that can doubt the capacity of Elrufai to deliver in any task he's assigned. He delivered as DG BPE, delivered as FCT Minister (still the best till date) and delivered as governor of Kaduna state.

True
But also can't deny the fact that he was genocidal against southern Kaduna people

I don't have issues with him, it's those looking for a saint in government that have issues with him. We can either chose development or underdevelopment

obojememe:
all d very best

Don't use alternate accounts to access Nairaland after being banned. If you do, make sure we don't find out.

This is the most useless nairaland rule

Even Seun breaks it

You no be OG on nairaland if you've not been banned before and have at least two accounts


Nobody to police the rule cos everybody breaks it , even Seun.

But it's necessary to remain in the rules list to scare the lilly livered ones

Yeye old man always having mouth diarrhoea

Wasn't he the one that corrupted them ? He's even the one that introduced the constituency projects as a way of bribing them so that his bills will be passing.
Then his ill-fated third term agenda , he bribed them to pass the illegal law but they refused.
Na the non yorubas wey dey rate am, in Yorubaland nobody send am. Person wey no do road that leads to his house as President for 8 years of the country no be person to be regarded at all.
I still won't forget how he illegally removed Oba Rashidi Ladoja just because he advised him against seeking third term, useless man

OneCandleAway:
Show us the agreement .

Why should the north who doesn't contribute anything to the national purse have to dictate to south that funds the whole country . The south south that their oil is what we export major to share the proceeds to the whole country should even have special privileges.

Na this same arrogance una take give am bad advice , he has no business contesting in 2015.

givedemwotowoto:
GEJ is referring to the same group of people we all know about. The people who praised Buhari as the best for 8 years, then condemned him as the worst as soon as he handed over.

Whenever you hear backstabbing/betrayal, it’s always this same group of people. They’re online 24/7 using Amaechi’s laptops for propaganda. United by hate against Igbos, and chameleons by nature.

Tell yourself the truth, GEJ had no business contesting In 2015.
It was the turn of the north. He has completed the mandate given to a northerner and still want to contest when it was the turn of the north to produce the president again?
This was the same reason Atiku couldn't win in 2023.... You can want to take over after a northerner has done 8 years, Nigerian Politics doesn't work that way...... It's an unritten law,but political power should rotate between the north and south to manage our complexities.
Seem Pbat and only a few of our politicians know and understand the game

DEROXMAN:
I swear we from oke ogun needs our separate state so badly make una chop una ibad an

It's understandable how you feel, but then ,that's democracy for you
Whoever tell you democracy as a form of government doesn't have it flaws, though it gave the minority a say, but the majority always have the way.

sreamsense:
Is that not how Enugu and Kaduna that regional headquarters have been? It is long overdue.

Ibadan is the only former regional capital that is yet to transform into a state, this is the strongest argument for the creation of Ibadan state. And Ibadan is viable economically too as its the economic backbone of the state, aside it being the political capital of the south west .

malali:
What exactly is the criteria for demanding statehood?

If someone insists that Ibadan should be made a state, shouldn’t he face the public in a proper press conference to explain why?

Look at America:
• Texas is so massive you can drive 24 hours across it and still be in the same state.
• Some U.S. states even stretch across multiple time zones.

Yet, they’re not breaking themselves up into little fragments every time someone feels entitled.

Meanwhile, here, every small local government with three roundabouts wants to crown itself a “state.” For what? Prestige? More political appointments? Access to federal allocation?

This constant agitation for micro-states is unserious. Real states are built around economic viability, infrastructure, and governance capacity, not just sentiment.

Until someone can define the hard criteria, population size, GDP output, landmass, resources, this noise about turning every LGA into a state is nothing but a distraction.

State creation is done to put some agitation to rest. Creating Ibadan state will make political social and economic development spread to the other parts of the present Oyo state have which have been largely neglected because Ibadan alone takes 2/3rd of almost everything.

Besides , Oyo is the largest southern state by land mass, almost as big as the entire south east. Other states needs to be broken too like Kaduna , Niger and Borno. But I don't agree with all agitators even though I wouldn't want to deny them the opportunity to try and make a case for themselves

PulaPower:
I tell you..

You don’t really need shops for many business. People now use their bedroom, living room, compound for business..

All you need is a phone and that ring light or Wetin dem dey call ham..

Ring light and a video editing app like inshot and you're in business.

Globad:
So, why are other supermarkets opening up and spreading fast in the same country?

Grand Square, Addide, Bokku, Jendol, Just rite, etc

Why are open markets not shutting down?

Many Nigerians don't want to reason like this so I stopped trying to make them reason this way.
The fact is as some are leaving many others are moving in. Multinational companies due to market dynamics are prone to changes like this In some markets they are not doing well so that it won't drag the whole group down... which was what ShopRite did by shutting down in many countries to concentrate on SA fully.

Besides , as western Companies are moving out (they've eaten enough now) Oriental and far eastern companies are moving in for the kill, they see the potential that most Nigerians are not seeing

All the government needs do is provide safety nets for the poor..... Even at the risk of the thieves in government stealing lots of it.... Then it can sit back and watch it's reforms kick in and kickstart real economic growth,unlike the cosmetics and voodoo economies we've had In the past

franchasofficia:
it's all about politics.


Nigerian people's purchasing power is dying everyday. Nigerians now buy mostly what they need to survive like basic food, etc, and those that use to patronize ShopRite and other big shopping malls now go back to traditional markets due to harsh economy.


Nigeria's Middleclass population that made ShopRite and other big shopping malls and outlets to boom are almost gone; most lost their jobs, relocated to remote areas, some migrated abroad, many got kidnapped, so Nigeria currently have very insignificant Middleclass population all thanks to Bola Tinubu's thoughtless and insensitive economic policies that created more poor people than rich people in Nigeria.


So tell me how is not politics?

Abi na

udemzyudex:
Same with jara mall,the truth is they can't compete.
They are hoping on pass glory when the likes of Bokku,jendol, just rite have taken over.

When your price is high compared to others, people will look for where it is cheaper.

And also most Pharmacies now have a supermarket and bakery taking away some of the people that goes to ShopRite.
