Mankind2024:
In Defense of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working hard to salvage Nigeria's ailing economy. The banking industry, the second most productive sector after oil, has also been affected by the necessary sacrifices. Critics have questioned why the foreign exchange gains made by listed banks in the 2023 financial year should be used to fund a supplementary budget. The answer is straightforward: allowing banks to pay out these gains would exacerbate the exchange rate crisis, causing capital flight and worsening the economy.
This would have devastating consequences, potentially rivaling the Great Depression in the US. The foreign exchange gains would primarily benefit foreign investors who made significant investments in Nigeria's economy during better times but failed to invest in our economy during the current challenges that bedeviled our economy.
Unfortunately, Nigeria's economic woes date back to the tenure of IBB, who allegedly stole $12 billion in 1991. Successive leaders, including Abacha, Abdulsalam and Obasanjo, also looted the country's resources in geometrical magnitude.
The most recent predecessors, including GEJ and Buhari, continued this trend. Buhari's administration securitized untapped crude oil deposits and borrowed N23 trillion through questionable ways and means without backing it.
It is unfair to condemn President Tinubu, who has taken austerity measures to prevent economic collapse. Without his efforts, Nigeria's situation would be comparable to Venezuela and Zimbabwe, with the Naira rendered absolutely worthless.

Let us support President Tinubu, the "fixer" of Nigeria's economy, as he works to get it right. We must reject opposition-induced rallies promoted by the "Obedients," which aim to destroy government infrastructure and overthrow the government through a military coup which they had openly canvassed before the inauguration of PBAT.
We should also reject protests in the South West and Abuja. It is worth asking: where were the Northern elders and the Obi-diots during Buhari's disastrous eight years?

NB: A warning ⚠️ for the Obi-diots, any Obi-diots who stage protests in the South West region would regret their action and inaction.

Tilumbu na scam!
He doesn't know his left from his right!

One of the demands of citizens is that the Senate has to be scrapped. It is useless!

Only the house of representatives will be spared and they must be on civil service salary structure

That one concern Igbos from SE. Igbos from Delta will demonstrate their fundamental right

Paraman:
Igbos have the right to protest in Aba, Onitsha and the rest of the south east.

There're already pockets of protest in Lagos.

There is already major plans in Ibadan that I'm aware of.

Its gonna be nationwide. If you like keep sleeping on top of bicycle.

Paraman:
I don't live in the south east. You can even protest for a month in Onitsha, I don't mind

If the govt knows whats good for them, they dare not send their thugs or kill any peaceful protester.

Else,.....

mohims:
It sounds very easy to say but let me remind you once again that Nigeria is not Kenya. We are divided between religious and ethnic lines. This protest will eventually turn bloody because some criminal elements are lurking and waiting for an opportunity to destroy and loot properties and the security agencies will not fold it's arms and watch such.
I don't know you from Adam, I'll advice you to stay safe and avoid coming out for any form of protest. May God give you the wisdom to make the right decision

Since 1966, you've had 13 presidents / heads of states that have done nothing because you keep shouting Ironsi that was in power for 6months. Perhaps we need another Igbo man to change our direction.

Brenbentondiaz:
Yeah. Igborillas are the only ones that can change the trajectory of the country. As exemplified by how they've changed that of their region where all Nigerians are rushing to for the good life. You guys have not realized being daft and deluded at the same time is a chronic sickness.

Are you not aware whats going on?

Stay there!

Thiefobi1:
I thought you people said only Northerners are behind the protest. What now change.

Voice of Jacob hand of esau.

150 persons were abducted in Zamfara and about 20 killed, they're talking of reshuffling of cabinet.

End bad governance in Nigeria!

Lunacy

IAmHim1:
When the door gets shut....you're so fixed on it that you refuse to see the open window

1) 'Conquered greed....'
2) 2027

Those two are all I need to see holes

You can't know someone has conquered greed from data and talks. That's a long story trust me.

2027 is too far and You're already believing two things

1) Greed won't conquer your preferred politician by then

2) A 'better' political candidate won't spring up by then also

Politician are ordinary servants of the people...like you and I ..yet the gap between them and us is SOO w i d e


Why?

The question is this: When the time comes and you find a politician who ticks all boxes in positive leadership BUT isn't from your tribe, gender or skin color... would you vote him OR HER

if your answer is no deep down, please don't quote me again. It'll just be mental masturbation

See foolishness in its purest form!

How does that relate to my celebration of Obi?

Trueprophet91:
They have let them go since o 😀
From where I'm standing, they're the ones that refuse to go

Bring the advice otherwise STFU!!!

Throwback:
Even your fellow Igbos have advised you to quit your delusions.

Shut the fvck up!
Tinubu is performing abysmally and you're blaming the Fulanis. Are you guys tired of blaming Igbos?

Wake up and smell the coffee, the protest must go on.
Stock up your houses so you're not caught unawares

Zulu11zulu:
Say no to burn to rule say no to Fulani terrorist government.

The small group of miscreants call Fulani can never whole Nigeria down.

Nigeria are not empire of Fulani, we have given those spaces time to put them where they belong (minority.)

Wake up and smell the coffee. They're already protesting in Lagos.

Start stocking up instead of your f00lish denial

YorubaNiBaba:
Nobody gives a fvck if u lockdown your 5 plots of land for 100yrs

The govt is jittery already.
They know whats coming thats why they're running around like headless chickens.

If any peaceful protester is killed then the demands will be escalated to Tilumbu must go

helinues:
Una failure about the protest already started with the new minimum wage approval.

The students loan payment started yesterday. Bags of rice sent to states.

How would you convince those who might have benefited from any of the programs above to join you in any protest without swearing .

You people should rest about this protest of a thing. It can't work

The tiny minority of 2000 people cannot dictate to the super majority of 220 million people.

If the fg kill a peaceful protester, then Tilumbu must go.

You'll know that Tilumbu has no base unlike Buhari

mohims:
Good luck in your quest but just know that Nigeria is not Kenya. I hope you don't throw your family into grieving. The government have already prepared for dessident like you. They won't hesitate to use force. They government will NEVER fold it's arm to watch people bring the country to a state of anarchy. May God protect you. We will be watching the events as the unfold on TV or social media

Let me tell you how's gonna go down.

Demands are being collated which would be sent to the presidency including bring fuel price to less than N300, scrapping the senate and keeping only the house of representatives, govt officials would be placed on civil service salary scale etc. Until these demands are met, the protest will go on perpetually.

If any protester is killed the the protest will include Tinubu must go.

SmartPolician:
The truth is that peaceful protests hardly achieve anything tangible in Nigeria. The only language Nigerian politicians understand is violence.

But then, we don't need any hunger-inspired protests now because urchins will hijack it to destroy public infrastructure and loot the businesses of hardworking people.

Common! This will anger Nigerians the more. The protest must go on

EreluRoz:
I'm so happy to see this, I believe Nigerians will be happy once again. This is the asiwaju I know

You will applaud NLC and Ajaero you've been criticizing.

We know they've been compromised.

The protest must go on

Paraman:
Gbajue and Abure in the mud

Igbos have been made the gods of Nigeria. Nothing happens without it being attributed to Igbos.

You're worshipping us even though its coming in form of lamentations. Stop committing idolatry!

Exclusive101:
If those igbos shouting the minimum wage is less than the cos of bag of rice answer you make I tear.

Ask them if what Abia n Anambra pay as minimum able to buy a single pack of Indomie n why their entire tribe isn't going off ranting about that all over social media ?

Tomorrow they will e making senseless noise other voted out of tribalism. Please explain what can make a tribe vote someone paying minimum wage of mere 18K in 2024.

If that is not bigotry or tribalism it can only be madness.

STFU! Southwesterners will protest and Ronu terrorists cannot prevent them from protesting

ObiORBiafra:
People are free to protest but let nobody from another state converge in Lagos. Or any part of SW. Protest where your governor or local government chairman lives. That way you will touch the lives of your loved ones

You're not looking at it from a progressive mindset. If we do tit for tat, how are we gonna progress?

Did you rig Tinubu in to fight the North? Was it not same North that rigged him in?

SmartPolician:
If clipping the wings of these northern politicians will make them understand that Nigeria belongs to us all, Tinubu and Akpabio have my full support. We have to rid them of their born to rule mentality.

You go defend corruption tire. July 29 to Aug 10 will be days of rage. If e sure for you, come to the street to defend Tinubu

Paraman:
Speak for yourself alone

They should, they're Igbos

Stolen:
Igbanke (igboakiri) Demands To Be included Into Anioma State from present Edo State.

Structures of criminality fighting themselves

The guy is a nuisance

gistray:
You defend rubbish too much.

I wonder why you can't apply for Job and contribute to the economy other than writing rubbish on NL every minute of the day.

What a gigantic nuisance

The momentum is building. July 29th

Mandem05:
Which protest are you referring to? Na only Kenyan people dey protest. We na siddon look be our motto.

Lunacy

Bhella5:
We know you got this vibes from PitObi who is always bitter always ready to pay condolences and never seen in a jubilation. I'm sure somewhere in your 5 plots one of your uncle is planning taking a new wife all thanks to the benevolence of Tinubu. Does that make your uncle a dunce? ONKR!

So you want Nigerians to celebrate because its higher than what Abia pays?

Why do you celebrate retrogression?

CyrusVI:
Ok, since u don't celebrate anything, you can keep mourning and grieving

If that makes u wiser

I don't know there's ever a relativity between sadness and smartness

See rubbish logic wey person dey use drive him points home

Abians will celebrate for 50 days straight if Otti start to pay them that 70k.

Imagine 18k in 2024 Abia 🗑️

Person wey dey cry, dey see road.

You,my friend is crying but unable to see that Obi is the only politician currently that has conquered greed and has shown tremendous capacity, character and competence to move Nigeria forward.

Lets not miss Obi 2027 by making sure that his mandate is not stolen again

IAmHim1:
Hnm

Let this man rest. He lost the election. Give him time to recover and recoup

Tinubu this...Buhari that...obi those....

Who cares. Nobody sane cares about petty flesh and bone playing games with human lives and survival hood.

A handful of people ruling over 200 million Nigerians.
Hold on a minute... doesn't that sound shocking to you all one bit. The concept of government that serves just itself in broad daylight and boldness!!

Kanji dam has been built already. And it supplies power right ...and I'm still being made to pay for light in my house. It's not like there's drought or the kanji dam had a fault or something.
If kanji dam had fault, then I'd feel justified to pay nepa bill for its repairs. But any fault so far?
The water turns the turbines on and on even as I'm typing this post....

So why am I paying an amount called nepa bill stipulated by someone who uses the money to send his or her children abroad to school while I languish here in Nigeria??


Think people!!!

Any news that doesn't move Nigeria forward at this time shouldn't even be news at all.

On Nairaland front Page, the whole of Nairaland would be lucky if I find just 5 news worth my time to click on. It's that pathetic. Go to front Page and observe for yourself. Either someone died...or asked for ransom...or food prices go up based on data from the silliest of companies ever.....or flavor dad died...like you really care about flavor to post his dad death on front Page for Nairalanders to read. Superb news reporting by the way. Keep it up


I won't be surprised if this one makes front Page.

The best way to be focused is to know WHAT NOT to focus on.
Same way as to be happy. Stopping what makes you sad first, Instead of doing more happier things

There's nothing important about any political office holder birthday in Nigeria.
It should be a day of sadness where they're dressed in black and mourning cus there's nothing to celebrate.
Even the price food and cake to use celebrate have all gone up. So why the happy birthday wishes like you even mean it. You don't so better stop deceiving yourself. You only care for people as humans like yourself and wish the best for them... doesn't mean you'll open your doors for armed robbers at night if they knocked quietly and respectfully on your door

They've done nothing tangible for Nigeria. Collectively they've all failed.

Today Nigeria mourns.

Happy birthday to a man of impeccable integrity Peter Obi, on whose rock, will the new Nigeria be built and the gates of criminality shall not prevail against him!

The more reason why we must end bad governance in Nigeria now!
