So, who should we vote for that will change Nigeria in 4 years?

HacheNoire:
At this point, I think that we all can conclude that the opposition is lost, confused and in disarray.

It’s funny at some point to know that, all the opposition can come up with at this stage is advising colonial figures on what appointment to accept or reject.

Really a sad time in history!

The weakest and most deranged opposition in the history of mankind.

It’s the most confused opposition since 1999

Clueless
Shallow

Christ is alive, He died and rose again. He is coming back again and if you don't believe it U are already damned. Christ second coming is like a thief, he loves sinners and want everyone to be saved. accept him today and be baptized and you to have rest for your soul at the end of time.

Coming back to where? To do what? All these Jewish stories just to make you feel good

Even Jesus in your Book says that he was not sent to you until a third party deceived you otherwise

Tenses:
Look at people Chinedu is even fighting for. See as your entire family they struggle with hardship, yet you dey rationalise am as "survival of the fittest".

tinubu fit pass you?

So, Nigerians abroad cannot buy tickets to visit Nigeria because of the bad economy in Nigeria?

Validated:
Tinubu's key strategic failures.

1. Announcing "Subsidy is gone" without understanding the repacussion.

2. Floating the Naira at the same time as subsidy removal.

3. Embarking on the fraudulent Coastal Road to NOWHERE.

4. Muslim Muslim ticket in a secular country with 52:48 Christian-Muslim population

5. Embarking of relentless propaganda.

For these reasons, Tinubu must return to Bourdillon.

We are in August, 4 months to the election; no alternative policies or ideas. The opposition has no manifesto. They are yet to tell the populace what they will do differently and whether they will reverse any of PBAT's policies they have criticized.

- Nelfund
- Subsidy removal
- Floating of the Naira
- Tax reform
- LG Autonomy
- Regional Development Commissions
- State Police
- Decentralization of Electricity
- CreditCorp
- CNG initiative
- Legacy Infrastructure highways.
- NNPC Executive Order 9

All they keep mouthing is that Nigerians are suffering.

No ideological shift.

Donald Duke is a dumb man

When Nigeria built Abuja, did we have the money to build it?

Other Cities/States suffered for the development of Abuja

You dey mind them and their shallow reasoning?

Is AtikuAmaechi ticket okay?

bolaayenimo:
I agree with him on this. That Coastal road is a complete waste of money. An elephant project that has caused flooding for the people

Complete waste of money?

Really?

Don't let those already using the Lagos end and enjoying the significant difference hear you

DomPérignon, Minister of Peter Obi Affairs:

You call Peter Obi a fraud, yet you expect people to believe that you and the Tinubu you support are models of integrity?

Honestly, Peter Obi must be giving you serious nightmares.

The PO magic is actually wearing out. The more he talks, the more people realise that he's empty.

The passage of time of the last four years has really exposed him.

He was at his hottest four years ago. But today he has lost many allies and many of the sentiments he wanted to ride on four years ago have been demystified

Alphanancy:
So government knew their identity before hand? You have to identify someone before reaching across to his people.

Before hand or after hand?

FatimaAbubakar:
Tinubu's government wants to train Nigerian youths on meter installation. Installation of meters can only be done by PHCN staff. So where and how will the youths install meters after the training? Are they going to be converted to PHCN staff automatically or will they be installing the meters in Benin Republic or Malaysia?

A scam government is always a scam government. Nothing good comes out of a scam government. 5000 youths kill Una there! Useless people.

So, Me KnowAll, which organization in Nigeria today is called or referred to as PHCN?

Yet you whine and bleat and blame the government!

Sirjamo:
No worry

Na scam

No apply o

People wey go apply don dey apply

I sha no won hear una dey cry of marginalisation

You dey mind them?

The more they talk, the more they expose their ignorance

Hope you’ll be able to prove this allegation when you’re asked to do so

Because some of you just jump on keyboards and write without thinking

Provide answers since you seem to know

AderonkeOlaniyi:
Everything about Tinubu's administration is fraudulent.

Some of you are driven by rabid hatred to the extent that you’ve stopped opening your brains. You attack everything in sight with zero reflection

Think!

Doesn’t INEC usually train and deploy adhoc staff for election cycles? Does that make the adhoc staff become INEC staff?

Do you know the metering gap in Nigeria and that it runs into millions? Can DISCO staff meet up even in one year?

You Nigerians are a major problem! If government does something, it’s a problem.

If government doesn’t do anything, it’s a problem.

You can’t be satisfied and it’s a disease

helinues:
When we said the Obidients group is a group of people who have stopped reasoning, this is one of the reasons

They will fabricate things in their head, rejoice about it and still be looking for those to force their concocted epistle on.

We have never had this kind of uninformed opposition supporters before in Nigeria aswear

After fabricating the cock and bull stories, they also fight and attack you if you refuse to swallow the nonsense tales.

They're almost like a cult: feeding on delusion and wallowing in fantasy

funnyDM:
Rubbish judgement!

How many of those churches burnt in the north have been compensated? I've seen churches burnt during post election violence, yet nothing was done. The church members had to contribute money and rebuilt their church.

Nigeria's judicial system is completely flawed. IMO

So the two cases are the SAME in your view?

It’s okay

Kanwulia:
Please! Do not run again after 2027. You have tried for Nigeria. Retire in peace! Let VDM take over.🍷

Can't you write sentences without exclamation marks?

Is this the way you are in real life or you just like to abuse or misuse this mark?

LordReed:
I remember Bishop Oyedepo virtually staking his reputation as a man of god when he cursed Boko Haram yet they are still there. The fact is their belief doesn't rely on evidence, it relies on their imagination which is fuelled by tales in their religious books. Imagine jesusjnr claiming he will command the sun to stand still where did he get such an idea if not a story in the bible.

They won't agree with you in spite of clear evidence.

OssanaQuest:
Do you know that forex (dollars) from foreign loans can be counted as part of gross foreign reserves once it's received and deposited by the central bank?

Now you know why Nigeria's foreign reserve is rising.

Tinubu is indeed a master strategist.

Didn't previous governments take loans?

Is the present government not repaying loans?

Even TINUBu knows he won, hence the NOISE from you losers.

Read what you wrote again. Slowly. And see if it makes any sense

Today I am in a very good mood after listening to God's words as preached by my great Pastor who happens to be a wonderful Yoruba man.


For those that don't usually attend Church on Sundays and on special weekly activities, please try and be attending because the word of God is life, it rekindles your spirit and awakens the giant in you and propels you to greatness if you back it up with actions and faith.


Now back to the topic; how Tinubu should have handled the fuel subsidy removal for a better Nigeria.



Being a diehard Obidient and an Apostle of God-sent leader to rescue Nigeria from leadership quagmire, Mr Peter Obi, I want to give out just a single tip out of the many of how Tinubu should have handled the removal of fuel subsidy and Nigeria wouldn't have been in a disaster it is in today as a nation.


Before I reveal this tip, sometimes I wonder if Tinubu does not have smart thinking economic experts that should have guided him or was it that Tinubu refused to listen to good counsels just to feel like Jagaban that his followers call him that always mislead him by making his head swell.



Removing fuel subsidy at one go wasn't so smart but removing the whole fuel subsidy at once and taking the money saved from the removal of fuel subsidy to share with state Governors was a very terrible mistake from Tinubu. I suspect he did it to win state Governors to his side ahead of a second tenure contest.


If this method was wrong, how then should Tinubu have done it?


Tinubu should have removed the subsidy and then take out 30% and share with the crooked state Governors and used the remaining 70% to remit into our foreign reserve which would have helped Nigerian Naira currency to gain value agains the dollar and other foreign currencies, with this, inflation would have stayed low and petrol price per liter would have remained around 750 Naira per liter.


How you may ask?


If Tinubu had used the money saved from fuel subsidy removal to build up our foreign reserve, Naira would have gained value and stayed at $1 = NGN680 at most, and with this exchange rate, petrol pump price per liter in Nigeria will be around NGN750 to NGN800 at most.


With this, inflation would have remained low in Nigeria and Nigeria's economy wouldn't have been this damaged.




He can still make a u-turn, if you are close to him, share this idea with him.


I am sharing this information because of my love for God and because of the poor Nigerian masses

How do you remove subsidiary and add to reserve?

Explain step by step

If you have a company, will you make somebody like Okpobolo or Tinubu a manager?? 😁😁

What do you say about Obaseki who spent 8 years as the governor?

Okpebholo hasn't spent 2 years.

Soludo is acting like satan pickin

How?

WizardOfNG:
@OP.

Lenghty post ruined by misinformation. Nigerians pay some of the lowest tax in Africa and our tax to GDP ratio is around 10%. Lower than the African average of 16.5%.

We pay 7.5% value added tax while many African nation set VAT above 15%.

Diversifying our economy away from reliance on oil, over time, is the best way to make Nigerians and Nigeria richer.

Over years, and perhaps not deliberately, leaders impoverish Nigeria and Nigerians subsidizing every sector leading to an economy that has no buffers to withstand even the mildest economic stress.

They weaponised poverty with numerous subsidies giving a people with low exposure and expectations cheap fuel, unfeasible and self-destructively low power supply tariffs, cheap and substandard education incaple of producing the STEM standard (science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Nigwria needs to creat her own solutions across all sectors of socio-economic life, etc, etc.

That is the culture we have to reverse to gain a Country where private sector wealth creation, like the USA, can be commendable.and a driver of greater individual and national wealth.

Before you conclude on these figures, incorporate implicit taxes which Nigerians pay and which don't really exist in other countries or jurisdictions you're trying to compare Nigeria with.

For example, in how many countries do area boys extort money from people, or revenue boys putting spikes on the road and demanding for countless permits, agberos extorting money from bus and Okada drivers, many non government bodies demanding for money, neighbourhood boys forcefully demanding for money before you construct a house or office, security checkpoints where they demand for money, market rates and levies which are largely unaccounted for, even street hawkers and wheelbarrow pushers pay levies!

Have you factored in all of these?

This is different from the items on the expense list which citizens spend on. These are things which ordinarily the government should use tax revenue for: security and vigilante services, education, roads, power transformers, power cables and poles, individual boreholes, individual overhead tanks, individual septic tanks, solar panels and batteries, drainages, street lights, etc.

Did you include these?

Statistics can sometimes hide some things. Compare like with like.

In comparing Nigeria's tax to GDP ratio to other countries, be sure to compare not just the raw data but countries which are similar to Nigeria in terms of the issues listed above.

In those other countries, do citizens buy power poles, electricity transformers or revenue to faceless people on the streets? Do they sink individual boreholes or

Are you talking about the Nigeria I know, you saw how the whole brv or whatsoever it was called was shot down during the last presidential election.

What was shot down?

Election wey dem go still ring

Who be dem wey go RING am?

Hope say you know the election process in Nigeria now. It's not easy to RING or call.

"want to copy former President Obasanjo, he is a Nationalist. You might not like him, I had disagreements with him, but he is a Nigerian President, not a Yoruba President"

Dass all.

But Tinubu supporters who are mostly closest tribalists do not like Obasanjo. To them Obasanjo is not Yoruba enough and they hate him with all their strength

But the one that claims he is yoruba enough,his region is nearly over ran by terrorists with school kidnapping happening. As in unbelievable. While the so called yoruba president is helpless

I trust OBJ. Obasanjo's shoot at sight at members of the OPC who went haywire in the early 2000's nipped the crises in the bud once and for all.

Baba Iyawo fún ara e.

In whose era did the following start in Nigeria:

Kidnapping for ransom?
