Abudu2000:
To think of that some nigerians would rather die in suffering than protest against a tyrannic government is really laughable sha. Some fools will rather buy fuel to oppress their neighbors than to speak out like niger republic are doing. And na them no even get shi shi for account.

Anyways whatever, i ve got a couple millions in my aza waiting to be spent and i never supported tinubu so whoever wants to die should die already. Nonsense

Hope you know that your millions doesn't keep you safe in this current Nigeria??
Sha dey pray for God's protection and calm down with the boasting, there a lots of people with more in their bank accounts compared to you.

Bornboy4:
Why do you want to impose more suffering on the average Nigerians?

Removal of fuel subsidy is not a do or die affair. Labour must consider other options open to it.

Nationwide strike is not the answer please.

But they tried to use dialogue and the government took them on a fool's ride na. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Didi2d:
If government increase salary, market woman go increase the price of their goods.

I think government and the labour should look into price control.

The government should also allow our refinery work

They should also give us stable power supply

Your last two statements look like abracadabra to our past leaders till date. I remembered that legendary statement that "we will make electricity stable within 6 months", their 6 months never reach. Like APC like PDP, àwon olè gbogbo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nograv:
My naija people, instead of saying you got it wrong and admitting Abacha vis a vis Idi Amin are incomparable you post nonsense smh.

This is what I mean.. I will involve other figures because it isn't so simple.. You are student in terms of thinking compared to my professor jare

Bobo, just give one example na??
The argument was clearly defined from the start, Abacha is corrupt the same way Idi Amin was corrupt. I'm not here to argue who's more corrupt between the two of them.

nograv:
Study your book abeg

You need it more.
Using your logic, we should praise military leaders like Adolf Hitler since he committed all his atrocities because in his heart he only wanted to solve the problems encountered by Germany. Abeg carry your military regime go one side. Your military leaders are as corrupt if not even more than their civilian counterparts. Olè n gbe, olè n gbàá. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The vulture griller has retired. He passed the baton of service to hell-boy.

Notice how hell-boy is still trying to grow into the role? He's still taking orientation lessons from the griller.

Well I've noticed how Hellinoos has been trying so hard to outdo his master in clownery and sycophancy for a long while now. The griller's darling daddy has taken him to Niger during his relocation. 🤣🤣🤣

Retired ke, whatapun?
Shey vulture meat don too cost for market ni abi e don scarce??
What happens to doing your business and training your apprentice?? 🤣🤣🤣

RonuRonu:
We will burn down Lagos, endsars will be a child's play compare to what Nigerian youths will do in Lagos during the protests. Enough is enough, let's make use of this opportunity and destabilise Lagos

You're seriously sick in the head. Many are mad but few are roaming the streets.

BoldBrainz:
You're still talking tough abi ?

Your government is already failing o. Just 2 months. E no bother you? E no even shame you small? Talk true.

E be like say the vulture griller on this forum don go into hiding as vulture meat don scarce now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

updatechange:
Note: nobody is defending anyone here, my opinion is strike won’t solve any problems rather it will add more to it. Get that right into your skull

So you're saying that we should continue to watch and let the status quo remain??
Dey play, hope you were not part of the occupy 9ja protest in 2012?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

rottennaija:
Why didn't you talk about the others I mentioned? ALSCON? Rails? Seaport? Powerplants? Take examples of what's happening in Niger Republic.

Niger provides about 20% of the uranium used by France. The uranium from Niger is used to fuel France's nuclear power plants, which provide about 75% of the country's electricity.

Niger owes Nigeria about $18.29 million for electricity supplied in 2022. This is according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). The debt has been accumulating for several years, and Niger has made only sporadic payments

Tell me again, what has western countries does for Africa? It's time to chat a new course. If I have the resources and you have the technology, I shouldn't be struggling to get your paper money with my resources. I should be enjoying the resource too.

I will still repeat my last statement again, if you like don't develop your country, continue to wait for the selfish West, Russia and China to do it for you. You will wait tire. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nograv:
You seem to have a difficulty with nuance. The discussion isn't just a binary one.

I am not pro military, I hate all military dictators. But some are worse than others.

While Idi Amin had some positive qualities I would argue Abacha by comparison had none.

Gaddafi was in many respects a military despot but all Africans know he did good by his people and the continent.

There are other military dictators who did good things like Park Chung Hee who was responsible for the 'Miracle on the Han'. Whilst repressive he led South Korea's massive economic expansion. Samsung, Hyundai and others all have their origins in his rule. Deng Xiaopeng is another dictator who laid the foundations of China's massive economic expansion.

When it comes to military leaders sadly it isn't always so black and white. Another interesting stat for you is that most industrialised nations today never industrialised as democracies. So it is even less clear cut.

Like I said read a few books understand history before making faulty comparisons. Have a good day.

Dude has decided to extend it to the world in general. For every good military leader in the world, there are about 2 more good political leaders. Say na read history book and you dey yarn dust. Nelson Mandela na military leader bah. Abeg swerve with your military leadership mindset. And while you're at it, you can include Adolf Hitler in the equation also since has the Germans at heart while forming his propaganda material/policies too. 🤣🤣🤣

sotall:
Does your government obey court?

You don't understand what Hellinoos is trying to tell you, the government is above the court of law, only civilians and civil right/society groups ought to obey the court. 🤣🤣🤣

Dbegining:
He's a black slave, okay

You are also a black slave. Only to a different master. He's to the US whwt you are to Russia.

It's time for Africa to be truly free.

Exactly what I told one of them. We will wait tire if we continue to wait for the West, Russia or China to come and develop our country/continent for us. There's no free things even in Freetown. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

rottennaija:
Let's see
Nigeria has interest in making these work
Ajaokuta steel plant work
Alscon
Having Nuclear power plant
Modern Airforce with 4th and 5th gen planes
Rails
Commerce

Nigeria has been aligned with the west fir more than 100 years. Did they get these?

The steel plant was built by Russia
Rails, airports, seaport are built by china
Our commerce is mainly from china
Nuclear power plants is built in Africa countries by Russia


Please tell me again who cares more for who? I know who I want my country to be aligned with.

I was waiting for you to bring up the steel plant and you fell for it. Lemme ask you bro, is the steel plant functional?? You think the Russians are foolish and are father Christmas abi?? If you like don't develop your country, be waiting for the West, China and Russia to come and develop your country for you. You will wait tire. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

tolexy007:
but workers suffering is good for the Country?

Hellinoos and his cronies told us that they want to suffer today so they can continue suffering tomorrow. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

updatechange:
Rubbish as if 99% of workers in Nigeria are under NLC, what happens to the artisans, the traders that depends on their daily sales, the driver and bus conductors, the djs and club owners…??
Omo, as for me o mk dem go strike for their house with their family. Rubbish. !
Where do they expect us to get the money to stock food and drugs at home??
Foolish people they just want to sabotage and create more hardship for Nigerians, God will punish all of them.

Most if not all of the people in the category you mentioned have increased the price of their goods/services, the workers under the government are the only ones yet to get an increase in the value of their services despite the increasing cost of things. Hope you get me bah?

nograv:
Sorry Oga, Idi Amin expelled groups that weren't loyal to Uganda. He also gave assets formerly in hands of foreigners to Native Ugandans. Power may have ultimately corrupted him, but he did some good by his people.

While Abacha by contrast died in the hands Asian prostitutes. He gave nothing to his people, ran economy into the ground and stole until there was nothing left.

Learn your history before making false equivalence. The world knows of Amin because he did right by his people and that upset others. No one except for Nigerians gives a damn about Abacha...

He did good by his people by living lavishly and feeding fat on his country's resources. You don't know what you're saying sir, the same person that would rather print more money to furnish his expensive lifestyle when there's no money instead of cutting down on the excesses.
Our political leaders in Africa are corrupt quite alright, but their military counterparts haven't done any better when they came to power too. The military regimes even enjoy more power than the politicians sef. For an African country to sit straight, you just need the judiciary to start the momentum at worst. Once the judiciary is out of the grasp of the political leaders, their power is limited to some extent. Is their any hope of such if the leaders are appointed by military regimes??
You can't be an African and will still be clamouring for the military in this current age, that only imply that this continent has no hope again. Like Idi Amin like Nigerian politicians.

poseidon12:
Not that I support military rule, but can you also mention 10 civilian leaders in Africa that have turned their countries around?
Or can you also mention 2 civilian leaders in Nigeria that have done same?
We want real democracy in Nigeria. What we have had in Nigeria since 1999 cannot really be called democracy. And Tinubu was definitely not elected by Nigerians but fraudulently installed as President. Tinubu has no right to threaten the Nigerien coup plotters. He himself carried out a coup in Nigeria.

I can give you at least one civilian leader whose hands reach far even into our present age:
1. Obafemi Awolowo, even though he wasn't Nigeria's president he set the precedent for free education we've all come to know in Nigeria.
2. Almost everyone I know agrees that Umar Musa Yar'Adua would have progressed Nigeria on the right path. If you have a counter opinion to this, you can voice it.
I still repeat, give me 2 examples of a military leader in Nigeria that was good.

Lemme ask you a question, the June 1993 general election is still taken to be the most free and fair election in Nigeria, yet the winner of the election never ruled Nigeria even for a minute. Do you know who ensured that, the military yeah. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

nograv:
Idi Amin was different to Abacha he actually cared about his people. Abacha only cared about himself..

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, expecting a military leader to remain in power for years and still keep the people at heart is like expecting a one in a hundred scenario to happen.
Yeah, Idi Amin cared about his people by living lavishly while his country men were wallowing in poverty.
Let me ask you a quick question??
Do you know that Idi Amin was aware that the president of Uganda before the coup wanted to arrest him for misappropriation of military funds??
That's your definition of a man that care about his people. You people sef. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

BabaIbo:
You're actually the kid here, why did you mention those two and left the others who actually brought the turn around their various governments are enjoying till today?

We've had 100s of military leaders in Africa, please mention 10 that have brought a turn around to their country. In fact going outside Nigeria is too much sef, mention 2 military leaders in Nigeria that fulfill the criteria you mentioned. Turn around enjoyed by various governments and Africa?? Turn around ko, round about ni.

hammerT:
The Government in Niger is more legitimate than what we have in Nigeria at the moment.


It is clearly military rule.


What do we call the government in Nigeria?



Clearly we cannot call it Democracy as nobody elected Tinubu, not even his Yoruba people.

You guys are always fond of contradicting yourselves cos you're looking for cheap likes, attention and validation. You same set of people accused the Yorubas of voting by tribalism during the last election, yet about 59% or so Yorubas voted for Tinubu, while 89% or so Igbos voted for an Igbo man. Now the song is not even the Yorubas blah blah blah. None of these politicians are really worth the troubles you're putting yourselves through, I pray y'all learn and your eyes get open one day.

Alaigbopress:
When the Democratic Government punishes the people who elected them by looting the common wealth of the people US, ECOWAS, UK, EU will look other way but the moment military takes ove to sanitize the system the UK, EU and US will start roaring. Even TINUBU that committed a democratic Coup is also roaring while sitting on someone's mandate.

You're the same as the UK/US you're calling out. Since the military have been taking over control in African countries, is there any positive impact it has on those countries other than setting back the country by a decade??
If development is by the number of military regimes, Nigeria should be level with European countries in terms of development. Both the civilians and the military are all corrupt.

rottennaija:
African leaders were brought in by the west to be lectured while Russia is extending a hand of friendship and offering a better favorable deal that will lead to prosperity and growth of the continent

Seriously laughing at your ignorance, say na hand of friendship abi hand of frenemy.
Know this and know peace, none of those nations, not the West or Russia cares about us. They only care about taking sides and their countries interest/agenda. Mr favourable dealer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

budaatum:
Britain would not waste tax payers money like Putin would Russians because Britons would be up in arms if they dared.

Even Britons were protesting against the royal family and calling the money spent on the monarchy as wastage. Na hin some of our Nairaland pundits dey expect their corrupt leaders to be treated like king on top the tax paid by Britons. They think everywhere's like Nigeria. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

SmartPolician:
That's an unfair comparison. During the death of the Queen, there were guests from all over the world coming to the UK. In the picture above, Putin invited a few African leaders to a meeting in Moscow.

Besides, the UK is a country that takes strict steps to manage their resources, unlike broke African countries living an extravagant lifestyle. When Boris Johnson was the British PM, he often travelled in the economy class of British Airways, but a broke Nigerian president always flies a NAF jet anywhere he goes.

Angela Merkel, the former Chancellor of Germany also led a humble life too. Not only does she live a humble life now sef, she shop for groceries with average citizens without a care in the world.
Our senators alone are getting paid more money than the leaders of several countries whose GDP are far better than Nigeria's, but what concerns some propagandists is the vehicle our leaders drive abroad even amidst the untold poverty that a lot of Nigerians are plunged into by the ruling elite. Misplaced priorities. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WriterNig:
@Russia Embassy Uganda tweeted;


Pic 1 = African leaders carried in a school bus in 🇬🇧 England.

Pic 2-4 = African leaders with their own motorcade in 🇷🇺 Russia. (Aurus Senat, same car Putin uses)

The same leaders who we're accusing of looting their African nations dry are those you're glorifying bah??
By the way, how does this help Africa's case in any way??
Gracious God, na propaganda go twist your neck. Like West like Russia, each of them cares only for themselves. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omoawoke2:
It is a deliberate journalism so it won’t appear like they are being targeted. But we know the majority shareholder are igbos.

90% Igbos, they added the remaining ones to balance the report and make it look fair

Dude na Yoruba I be, Ọmọlúàbí rere for that matter, crime has no tribe. As you can see from the write-up people from both regions were listed as suspects/ those caught red-handed by NDLEA. Tribalism won't take either of the tribe nowhere. There's nothing fair in engaging in crimes.

sarkinbauchi:
Chimezie Onyenjuru

Na dem

You decided to omit names like Olutosin, Damilola, Atinuke, Oluwatobi, Babatunde and so on mentioned their right??
Crime has no tribe, if you do the crime then be ready to do the time.

pdppower:
Crime has no tribe. Do the crime and do the time.

Waiting for the tribal scums to start their ethnic slurs as usual. Yoruba this, Igbo that etc. Instead of them to look for ways and carry out actions to make the country better, all they care about is tribalism and tribal supremacy. Typical Nigerian Nazis.

KosiGee:
The girl didn’t frame him. He got himself into the mess all by himself. He was reckless, abusive, arrogant and exuberant.

He raped that girl but somehow the girl withdrew from the case.

I hope Mendy returns to active football as well.

Mendy is back, he signed a 2 years deal with Lorient some days or weeks ago.
