I wish Tinubu could just exhibit a little bit of Abacha. I wish someone could just disappear permanently for expressing his views against the Government of Asiwaju Tinubu just as Abacha did to his opposition.

Atleast to prove that Abacha was more democratic than Tinubu, make that fraud just disappear forever, make dem no see am again for all his chochocho e dey talk against Tinubu since over two years.

Make Tinubu show am Abacha colour small, just small colour make e body for calm down. Make e family take see first hand wetin opposition suffer for Abacha hand.

How many people disappeared compared to thousands killed since 2023 in jos and Benue...

Putindbutt:
Despite the blackmail, campaign of calumny, h8te and bitterness from the Bitter people against some of the appointees. They were even writing petitions to the host countries and then carried fake news of Germany rejecting FFK.

If there's one thing about Tinubu, he's not concerned about the distractions from online noisemakers and election losers. Mr President is focused on his job.

You shall borrow for squander like Tinubu. You generation economy shall look like Nigeria economy under Tinubu

WizardOfNG:
Anybody wants to know the real problem of Nigeria? Poor human resources overall,as I will always argue, and not leaders alone.

Even before asking AI I knew this is likely fake news because it is too personalised. No nation will begin to announce publicly why they rejected anothers nations ambassadorial nominee let alone be mentioning "erratic behaviour" etal. That is not how international diplomacy and relations work.


No way this is how rejection of FFK, even if true, will be penned. The wording betrays mischievous intention meant is to spark jubilation in those who are naturally hateful and predisposed to celebrating the 'downfall' of others.

Likely the work of haters of FFK and Tinubu to provide 'food' for an unthinking and emotional masses.

Sad reality is that Nigeria will not improve greatly if her educated class are not of the productively inquisitive, research-driven and problem-solving variety.

Whi ch AI? Apc AI? Because AI reported what is obtainable in this post

This is good news. He should be posted to Iran.


Mexico should also do same on Omokri

The rejected him already due to similar reasons as FFK

brain54:
So what does he want us to do about it...?


He should go and slug it out to get the ticket and stop whining and complaining like a sissy!

If your senses is activated you suppose know Obi cannot tell you in clear words because he's going for election or nomination for the ticket.

panpan:

This is another loan.
All foreign loans should stop.
It appears as if there are a few people in the federal government, and the lending institution who get commissions from these loans.
When the federal government takes external loans, they indirectly take money from the general Nigerian population through multiple/increased taxation, and excessive inflation.

Some Yorubas will call you a bigot.

fxexperts:
If it was Obi that went for this meeting. you would be hearing things like oo.. They now saw the potential in him. he is the best thing blablabla..... Dont mind those children of hate.

You must be joking. So if it was a negative thing, you will believe it. but now that it is positive it is a lie. bunch of jokers.

If you like stay in your house and expect the benefits of these things to come to you. Maybe Governmnet will come and open the roof of your house and bring them to you.

Bro what is the evidence of all the borrowing and commerce deals with the lender nations since 3yrs. Enlighten us with validated information. No be fight!!

Blazebond:
TINUBU is a worse bigot than buhari,this man is so Lagos and Yoruba focus and it's shocking, it's wild how this people think governing a nation as diverse as Nigeria doesn't get to their heads that development must be spread around all regions,this man have been pulling everything possible to be pulled either to Lagos (a Yoruba state he once governed) or southwest (the Yoruba region of Nigeria) and yet he expects people not to be tribalistic in their thoughts on how the country is being managed,you Yorubas think all other NIGERIANS will be excited by news kike this shebi, TINUBU is a worst tribalistic version of buhari,both is them are two terrible bigots that have governed this nation consecutively,this nation can never heal from the tribalistic management of this nation that this two reigned over.

The entrance of APC pains it orders division instead of unity.

helinues:
The opposition and their supporters are not interested about the business part of the trip.

When last did Uk palace invite foreign president to the Palace? The visiting is always reserved for the achievers

Tinubu went to borrow. Out of nothing comes nothing.

Lukuluku69:
They were increases in America, UK and elsewhere too

Stop comparing this useless country with America and UK. Why you don't compare them in other areas.

Imagine, for a moment, that Peter Obi became President of Nigeria.

And imagine that the architecture of his government looked like this:

President – Igbo
Chief Justice – Igbo
EFCC Chairman – Igbo
DSS Director-General – Igbo
IGP – Igbo
Attorney General – Igbo
Finance Minister – Igbo
Accountant General of the Federation – Igbo
Auditor General of the Federation – Igbo
NNPC GMD – Igbo
NAFDAC DG – Igbo
Chief of Army Staff – Igbo
CBN Governor – Igbo
FIRS Chairman – Igbo
INEC Chairman – Igbo
Comptroller-General of Immigration – Igbo
NPA Managing Director – Igbo

Let’s not pretend.

Nigeria would be on fire.

Prime-time outrage. Emergency town halls. Sermons on “marginalisation.” Hashtags about ethnic capture. Analysts warning of “national disintegration.” Political leaders threatening constitutional crises.

Even if — and this is important — every single one of those appointees were the most qualified, most competent, most incorruptible Nigerians available.

The same people who today preach “merit” would suddenly rediscover “federal character.”
The same voices that shout “competence over tribe” would begin to whisper “balance for stability.”
The same defenders of concentration of power would become apostles of inclusion overnight.

And here is the uncomfortable truth: many of us — including people from my own region — would lose our minds.

Not because the system would suddenly become unjust.
But because, for once, we would not be the ones benefiting from the imbalance.

That is Nigeria’s hypocrisy laid bare.

We tolerate domination when it favours us.
We intellectualise exclusion when it advantages our bloc.
We spiritualise injustice when it serves our interests.
But the moment the ethnic tables turn, we discover the Constitution.

This is not about one man. It is not even about one ethnic group. It is about our collective dishonesty.

If we would scream under a hypothetical Igbo-dominated government, then we must interrogate our silence — or our applause — under any other lopsided arrangement.

Justice is not justice only when it protects us.
Equity is not equity only when we are excluded.
Federal character is not a decorative clause in the Constitution; it is a moral test of our sincerity as a federation.

Nigeria cannot survive selective outrage.

If balance matters, it must matter always.
If merit matters, it must matter universally.
If national unity matters, it cannot be conditional.

The real question is not, “What if Obi did this?”

The real question is:
Are we committed to fairness — or only to advantage?

Mariangeles:
This man is really manipulating and playing with the minds of Nigerians.

Who gave him such power?
May we not wake up one day and hear that Nigeria now belongs to Dangote.

Dangote is a business organization prioritizing in making profits.. As your government and agencies questions on price control.
When did Dangote become the president of Nigeria?
At what rate is NNPC supplying crude oil to Dangote?

Under military detectors? You must be a Yoruba boy

What OBJ inherited was heaven compared to what Tinubu took off from.

On a scale of 1 to 10, OBJ inherited 4, while Tinubu inherited 11!

Abacha actually was super prudent with spending, so he could siphon plenty of it away. In 1995 and 1996, there were even budget surpluses. He increased the foreign reserves from $500m he inherited in 1993 to $8bn in 1998 when he died in office. It was Abdulsalaam and his boys who took over from him that were reckless, because they wanted to chop as much as possible before they left office. So, OBJ just had to deal with just one year of recklessness.

Tinubu inherited a complete utter mess. The foreign reserves could only cover 1 month worth of imports, rather than the minimum of 4 months. 97% of government spending was going towards debt.

In 1999, when OBJ assumed office, Nigeria imports were $4.5bn. The foreign reserves were $5.4bn -This could cover over 1 year of imports. Also, 38% of government revenue was used to service debt.

In 2023, Nigeria's imports were $49bn. The foreign reserves were $3.99bn. This could not even cover 1 month. It was the shortage of dollars that sent GSK and other multinationals out of Nigeria. They couldn't cope.

Tinubu: Just imagine your salary is 1m and by the time you service your debt, you're left with 30,000
OBJ: If salary was N1m, by th time debt was serviced, you're left with 6200,000.

This shows you the severity of the economic crisis the nation was in.

The two are not the same at all. Buhari had totally destroyed the economy and that was why people were japa in droves. The economy had collapsed due to chronic economic mismanagement.

Tinubu is mending the economy. Okonjo Iweala has said the Nigerian economy is stabilising. Lamido Sanusi and Charles Soludo also praised the reforms. All 3 are economist who are best able to give professional statements.

Today, less than 50% of government revenue is spent on debt servicing. The net foreign reserves is now over $25bn and can cover at least 6 months worth of imports, So, things are improving,

I don't support a lot of his borrowing but his economic reforms have brought the economy back from the abyss.

If a “first-class accountant” can’t balance a national economy, maybe we need to audit the certificate first.

Because when the books refuse to balance, people start asking questions - Like where is the subsidy savings?

As someone would say — grades are one thing… results are another.

‎Pres Tinubu started strategizing from day one. Dismantling the opposition, intimidating Governor's into submission, whipping the judiciary into line, subduing the National Assembly into servitude and recalibrating the electoral umpire INEC.
‎
‎He never slept from day one, after he was declared winner , he rather set sail immediately in preparation for 2027.
‎
‎It is alleged that his chief of staff has the responsibility of pulling the institutional hit , the NSA pulls the individuals hit and the Chairman APC Governors forum pulls the state executives hit .
‎
‎In other words The chief of staff handles the National Assembly and Judiciary, The Chairman Governors forum brings state Governors under the broom while the NSA handles any irritant person raising an ugly head.
‎
‎Wike as alleged by Gov Makinde volunteered to do the work of destabilizing PDP , the once major opposition party which has now become a shadow of its former self, thanks to Wike. He is being Supervised by the chief of staff and provided every help he needs to execute this job as rumoured. This is the only way he maintains his relevance despite all baggages surrounding him.
‎
‎This is the politics of Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu. An astute politician, but a poor administrator. As a politician , president Tinubu has done excellently well , but has failed woefully as a leader. 3 years wasted on politics with no visible and traceable plan to improve the Nation. it has never happened before since the begining of the 4th Republic.
‎
‎If you compare Pres Tinubu and APCs 3 years with the first 3 years of his last 2 PDP Predecessors , the difference is staggering and clear.
‎
‎President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua came with the 7 point Agenda and it was trackable. He wanted to make Nigeria one of the world's top 20 economies. So he chose seven specific areas to fix
‎
‎1 . Power & Energy: Fixing electricity so businesses could run.
‎
‎2. Food Security: Making sure Nigeria could feed itself.
‎
‎3. Wealth Creation: Focused on jobs and helping people start businesses.
‎
‎4. Transport: Fixing roads and railways.
‎
‎5. Land Reform: Making it easier for people to own and use land for wealth.
‎
‎6. Security: Ending the crisis in the Niger Delta (which led to the Amnesty Program).
‎
‎7. Education: Improving schools and training
‎
‎Though he didn't live long enough to achieve all , but within two years of his administration he achieved nearly 70% of his agenda. Crosscheck the list by yourself and be the judge.
‎
‎Then came Goodluck Jonathan with his 3Rs and Transformation Agenda . His approach to the economy was very simple , 👉Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Reconciliation.
‎
‎He focused on 👉 Reconstructing the railways and airports. 👉Rehabilitating old systems like the power sector (privatization). And 👉Reconciling the country through democratic reforms and the 2014 National Conference.
‎
‎And all these were easy to track. He developed a transformation scorecard where the government published exactly how many kilometers of rail were laid or how many bags of fertilizer were distributed to farmers.
‎
‎Nigeria became the largest economy in Africa during Goodluck Jonathan's presidency. Nigeria’s GDP nearly doubled , jumping from about $270 billion to $510 billion. This pushed Nigeria ahead of South Africa to become the number 1 economy on the continent and the 26th largest in the world.
‎
‎Sadly this was destroyed by APC immediately that incompetent and clueless man Buhari came in and prioritized cow over humans.
‎
‎Fast forward to 2023, president Tinubu came with what he called 8 point agenda under his Renewed hope banner.
‎
‎1. Food Security: Tackling hunger by making sure food is available and affordable. This includes supporting farmers and protecting them from attacks so they can go back to their farms.
‎
‎2. Poverty Eradication: Moving people out of extreme poverty through social welfare programs and direct support for the most vulnerable Nigerians.
‎
‎3. Growth and Job Creation: Aiming to grow the economy and create millions of jobs, especially for the youth, in sectors like the digital economy and manufacturing.
‎
‎4. Access to Capital: Making it easier for people and small businesses to get loans. A key part of this is the Student Loan Scheme and providing consumer credit for everyday Nigerians.
‎
‎5. Inclusion: Ensuring that women, young people, and people with disabilities are not left behind in government appointments and economic opportunities.
‎
‎6. Security: Using better technology and better-trained security forces to stop kidnapping, banditry, and terrorism so that businesses can thrive.
‎
‎7. Rule of Law: Strengthening the justice system so that everyone, including the government, follows the law, making Nigeria more attractive to foreign investors.
‎
‎8. Fighting Corruption: Cleaning up how the government spends money and stopping leakages (theft of public funds) through transparency and digital tracking
‎
‎None has been achieved , Not even half . instead the situation has been worsened.
‎
‎Unlike Yar'Adua and Jonathan, Tinubu started by removing the fuel subsidy and floating the Naira. While his 8 point agenda exists on paper, the daily struggle with inflation and the high cost of living makes his blueprint invisible to the average person. There is also a lack of clear targets. Yar'Adua had Vision 2020 but Tinubu’s plan is basically reactive , fixing the problems caused by his own initial reforms, rather than a steady build up.
‎
‎Mind u , Both Jonathan and Yar'Adua recruited the best brains like Dr Ngozi okonjo iweala, Sanusi lamido Sanusi, Dr Akinwuni Adesina, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Dr Dora Akunyili etc. Even the senate was led by an astute administrator Gen David Mark.
‎
‎But what are we seeing today ? We see dull brains , crude , Nasty and Noisy personalities like Nyesom Wike . The other ministers , nobody even knows them. The senate is being led by a Notoriously unserious fellow like Akpabio.
‎
‎Truth be told , President Tinubu has performed abysmally and this is a constructive criticism. If he couldn't accomplish even one of his 8 point agenda in 3 years , is it an extra 4 years that he will accomplish it 🤷 . Be the judge .
‎
‎We must learn a lesson
‎
‎Peace and love
‎
‎I am Emeka, where politics meets truth, I write ✍️

Looking for wicker opposition

emoboy4u:
Nigerians think their problem is entirely Tinubu but rarely hold their state govenors accountable..heck, not sure of us even know our state governors. Those guys are crooks

New tax reforms is also from the governors. Go and have glimpse of Nigeria constitution.

Shame on you. Electricity in your campaign manifesto again. You will tell people about electric again? You no de shame

Then stop complaining. Stop talking about Obi. Allow him to lose.

mascot87:
I like as una take dey deceive una self dey give una self fake joy. I sha no wan hear cry cry after Asiwaju drag una blokus for ground in 2027

give me one genuine reason apart from tribalism that will make a common poor Nigeria like you to support Tinubu and APC. Your salary because I know you are a salary earner cannot fetch you a decent living. You can never live above $40 a day. Check all content on social media is all about Dollars meaning naira is worthless. Ask God for grace for for sense and sound reasoning. Obi is not only person in ADC. Joining party of his choice is his legal and divine right. Look for job, it's new year.

tunjijones:
Yes that is true. Hence the yes daddy leaked phone conversation with oyedepo.

And someone said Peter obi is not desperate!!!!!

Imagine the level of stupid in your comments. Is obi the only interested fellow seeking for Aso Rock job? Why Obi?

Both Yoruba and Igbo is involve

Come and capture Nigeria counterpart. He is also in the same deal

China have really upgraded their cars. The spare parts is available both new genuine parts and and second hands.

Tinubu's administration and invented policies are designed to make life difficult for Nigerians. It's born out of deception. The petrol subsidy removal and floating of Naira policies are all negative policies of APC pains.
New tax reforms is going to add salt to injuries.
Oyedele is not airline operator. He is here today to counter the experience and information from a player in airline industry tomorrow Oyedele will deny his statement and his ethnic supporters will label it hate speech.

Daily Post Nigeria News:

It’ll help airlines – Oyedele dismisses Air Peace boss, Onyema’s claim about new tax laws Published on December 29, 2025
By Francis Ugwu

Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has countered claims by Air Peace Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Allen Onyema, that newly introduced tax laws would cripple Nigeria’s aviation industry, insisting that the reforms will instead reduce costs and support airline operations.

Oyedele said the new tax regime is designed to resolve long-standing fiscal challenges confronting airlines and should not be blamed for rising airfares or fears of an industry collapse.

His response followed Onyema’s warning during an interview on Arise Television on Sunday that domestic airlines could shut down within months if the tax reforms, scheduled to take effect from January 1, 2026, are implemented without review.

Onyema had attributed high ticket prices to multiple taxes and levies, claiming that a 7.5 per cent VAT on tickets could push economy fares as high as N1.7 million.

In a statement posted on X on Monday, Oyedele acknowledged the genuine difficulties facing the aviation sector but said government engagements with airline operators were ongoing and aimed at easing their burden.

According to him, one of the biggest reliefs under the new tax laws is the removal of the 10 per cent withholding tax on aircraft leases, which had significantly increased operating costs for airlines.

He explained that the tax, previously non-recoverable, has been replaced with a rate to be determined by regulation, allowing for a possible full exemption or substantial reduction.

Oyedele also said the reforms would make airlines fully VAT-neutral, allowing them to recover VAT paid on imported or locally sourced assets, consumables and services.

He added that excess input VAT would be refunded within 30 days or offset against other tax liabilities, improving liquidity for operators.

“We recognise the genuine challenges facing Nigeria’s aviation industry, particularly the burden of multiple taxes, levies, and regulatory charges. The Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee on behalf of the government has engaged extensively with airline operators and those engagements are ongoing.

“Contrary to the claim that the new tax laws will hurt the industry, the reform is part of the solution, not the source of the problem. Several long-standing tax issues driving costs in the sector have been resolved in the new tax laws or are being structurally addressed,” parts of the statement reads.

But I thought there is nobody in Lagos again since those people left for Christmas. I mean, those people.

That's the reason for the rented crowd if really they are in balogun. But is Balogun the only Market in Lagos? Show videos of other markets. Where are the importers and wholesale sellers and bulk buyers? Your mumu to much baba

Shimbo96:
you can even add your legs but you will all gather in vain.

Are you really comfortable with the economic and security situations in Nigeria. If yes your family will experience both in your own way. Crisis in security and economy.
