if the politicians stopped stealing, we would have been debt free even before GEJ's government ended. Alas, he said stealing is not corruption.

GEJ's governement was riled with policies that didn't really improve standard of living or economic potential of Nigeria. it was too bad. Then Nigerians went for Buhari.... omo we have suffered

Jonathan government did very well but they were bad at publicity so APC used media propaganda to paint him as clueless. Nearly 80% of projects Buhari commissioned were Jonathan's projects.

If you believe that Jonathan did not improve standard of living go and compare economic indices under Jonathan Vs buhari Vs tinubu

Philipponzaghi:
Tony Elumelu is raising important questions that need answers. We can’t keep turning a blind eye to the theft in our waters. Tinubu’s administration must act decisively and restore faith in our oil sector. With proper accountability, we can turn this situation around and boost our economy. Let's rally behind our leaders to take charge!

He cannot act decisively against himself. He is part of the thieves

Philipponzaghi:
Tinubu is just getting started. Change takes time, and he’s listening. Let's give him the chance to turn things around. Protests won’t solve the issues; unity and support will!

The same thing you said about buhari throughout his 8 years

God1000:
Israel should stop looking for trouble everywhere, they violated Iran's air space last week and nobody said anything about it, no condemnation from the US and Europe

If Iran retaliate now, all the hypocrites will label them evil

Have you forgotten that Iran was the first to launch a direct military attack on Israel?

Let them bring it on. Israel will teach them a bitter lesson

bestsales20:
This is actually rude and foolish. The best would have been to simple ignore or drop your suggestion "respectfully". Didn't you see the location before you applied? Didn't they offer you ample time to prepare for the interview.

To even have the guts to post it here. No sane person should employ a loud-mouthed and rude person like you. If NNPC or Shell sent you that invite, would your reaction had been the same?

NNPC or shell will pay your transportation, accomodation and feeding in advance wether you get the job or not

Mace0lane:
He was never dead he was just bidding his time to see if Tinubu know exactly what he was doing , if Tinubu meant well for the populace even with this message I believe he being a lot cautious not speaking directly to the failing of the Tinubu administration because no one knows what economic impact recovery or any possible verb is action my lead.

The long the evidence of Tinubu takes to materialize the more those supporting him will voice out concerns on such action this negates the extremely foolishness of the average Igbo obidient that want Tinubu condemned simply because they lost the election not minding is his action will have a y positive or negative action on the economy n the populace at large.

Election is over but Tinubu supporters are still taunting Obi. I wish you use this same energy to hold to account the disaster you voted for.

The fact that Tinubu one year is already worse than than Buhari 8 year is truly a new low

Kobojunkieee:
What is this assumption of yours based on? Do you think it is only Igbos that live in the South East or something? Or that only those of Igbo descent who live in the South East understand the local politics? Tell me exactly what it is based on cause I finally wish to understand the way a lot of you think you can reason these things.

I'm Yoruba but I support the Igbos decision not to join this protest.

They warned the entire country that no good will come out of voting Tinubu but you all turned deaf ears. I myself voted for Obi because I was not convinced that Tinubu will do anything different from buhari

I'm sure all of you that voted for him are enjoying his good governance today.

So the logic is simple. Let those who voted for this disaster go and protest. The rest of us protested in advance at the ballot box last February. Next time you won't carry religion and tribe for head.

This is just year 1, 7 more years to go. Una go protest taya🤣

You just throw insults with zero substance or reason why you think he's wrong - exactly what dems are doing

Abdul05:
Awon omo rada rada..


Tell them to use the same energy or embrace the same ideology to protest against the rampant killing by unknown gun men.( l mean ipob terrorists )..so that investors can come to southeast .


A deserted region ..

If they protest you will say they want to burn Lagos.
Now they refuse to protest and you are still angry

What do you really want sef?

BigDawsNet:
The Eastern are not joining the protest?

The west and the North will protest

Eventually if prices of market and fuel comes down... make Eastern region no forget say dey will also enjoy the benefits

The east has protested already. They protested with their votes during the last election.

Let the Hausa and yorubas who voted the dullard go and protest.

We go dey give una moral support from home

sIfioksq:
Na wa o! This one no fit be the solution. Instead of burning down headquarters, why not channel that energy into constructive dialogue? APC dey try, but the hunger wey dey affect everywhere need collective effort to solve. Make we no lose sight of the bigger picture.

The only problem is that APC has no bigger picture anywhere.

All Tinubu knows is to tax citizens to death - same thing he did in Lagos for 8 years

goslowgoslow:
Oponu I told you that I won't respond again to a ghetto brought up and a dumbass like you.... continue with your lack of comprehension and animalistic attitude...Yes I am Mr I live in America! If he pain you go and die!
Ewu!

Yet you responded twice on the same thread. We are both in US if you reply 10 times I will fire back 20 times.

I don't suffer fools gladly

goslowgoslow:
Awon eyan eran oko Trump...awon aja igboro...oponu oloriburuku omo ale!

Agbaya Mr I live in the US
As old as you are you don't know the difference between organic crowd and genuine protesters.

Take your L and move on

goslowgoslow:
You are complete fool, a dumbass and an animal. You are ghetto and it is very obvious from your response.
To start with I never insulted you but you started insulting me, that shows how ghetto and illiterate you are.
Those facts you are talking about democrats pull them out yourself and paste them here or keep your ghetto life to yourself.
I don't give a damn about you or whatever you live. The idiot is asking me how long I have been living in the US lmao 😂🤣 okay this is my 27 years here and I live in Texas. If you want my number I will post it here, I don't care!
I never said political parties don't rent crowds what asked is for you to prove that democrats did it, initially you said democrats now it is all political parties, confused fellow. Mr Google!
Millions of Americans are out to there, they cannot work because of bad records but here is an idiot like you routing for a convicted felon to rule America. Shameless set of people...all of you will be disgraced come November. You ghetto raised fool!

You are clearly frustrated because you cannot refute one single fact I dropped here. I even gave you a sample URL to cure your prideful ignorance.

You are so ignorant and proud at thesame time - two terrible and destructive combinations to have in one single individual.

Next time come with open mind and don't address people you know nothing about with condescending tone.

And for the upteenth time get it into your thick olodo skull - there are hundreds of organizations in this US that offer services of paid protest/advocacy to political parties, rights organisations and pressure groups. And yes it's good business and they get patronage from political parties including the Democrat party. To argue otherwise after the evidence I've provided here make you very stupid, unable or unwilling to learn new information.

I will not apologize for saying the truth. Congratulations for disgracing you and your entire generation online Mr "I live in America" 🤣🤣🤣😜


So after hitting you repeatedly with facts that you can't deny, you finally agree that political parties rent crowd but you want me to prove to you that democratic party rent crowds as well 🤣🤣🤣

This nonsense reasoning is why dems will never win Texas in 100 years. Shout-out to Greg Abot the nemesis of sleepy Joe and kackling kamala

Awon eyan Beto Orouke
Ode!

victorDanladi:
No protest is happening in Igbo land.


They are all on social media cheering other people and their people in other states on while they kept there own region calm.


YORUBAS are big FOOLS!....BIG ONE!

What do you really want sef?

You people said that Igbos are the ones sponsoring protests. Igbo people said they are not interested in protest because they already protested by not voting for Tinubu during election.

Today every other region is protesting except Igbos who truly kept their word.

And now you are angry that they are not protesting. What exactly do you want?

Chinkoalhaji34:
E be like say dem no sabi say protest no dey solve anything.

All this wahala go just turn to another level of hardship, na so e dey always be.

Wetin go change? Nothing! Instead of protest, make we dey find solution wey go fit help everybody.

Oyo residents need to focus on how to survive this tough time, not join for protest wey no go carry dem anywhere.

Yet Tinubu and Buhari protested every month before 2015 election. If you think that the protest will achieve nothing then don't join. Let those who are protesting do it in peace

goslowgoslow:
I called your comment stupid not you right?....You are a complete animal! And you must be is in sane!....You dey live here?
How do you know that Democrats or even Republicans use or used that?
Because such a thing exist you just jump into conclusions. Educated illiterate!..
Dumb that doesn't even follow the news, the opinion polls that shows Kamala in the lead especially in battle ground states are also by rented crowd abi?
Prove to me that Democrats use that from time to time like you said. If you can't STFUP!
What do you understand about America from your village? I would have ignore your stupidity like the other guy did.

Again you are so stupid that you assume I don't live in US.

You have alot of wrong assumption which tells me how you think

Educate yourself. A simple Google search would have prevented you from displaying crass ignorance on the internet

When did you get to US and what city do you live in?? Yes democrats use paid protesters and it's a fact that I know. You can requests for their campaign finance spendings and you will see it there. All political parties, pressure groups, activists etc patronise these paid protesters and in fact this election season is their busiest. Facts have no respect for your emotions

trutharena:
This is a great initiative by the FG to make rice more accessible for the masses!

Ode how many bags did you buy?

goslowgoslow:
What a foolish comment.

You are stupid and naive if you think that every protest you see on TV is organic

There are hundreds of such organizations in the US that rent crowds to show up with placards at any event/rally/protest for a fee. The URL below is just one of hundreds
https://crowdsondemand.com/

You should educate yourself before taking jabs at what you don't understand

1stGenAmerican:
I wouldn’t waste my time believing or doing such foolishness.

Your believing it or not doesn't change the truth.

There are paid career protesters everywhere in the world especially in the US. Politicians engage them to protest on climate change, political issues, LGBTQ rights abortion etc

Odingo1:
Why not live alone and have peace, do the work by yourself if the person don’t have kids. Is that so hard.

Living alone in Nigeria of today is risky if you are rich

1stGenAmerican:
Lie. When we protest, nothing can stop us. If our protests were sponsored, we’d still be fighting for freedom. Don’t compare Americans to Nigerians, our rights are worth more than a few dollars—we can’t be bought. If the government tried to sell Americans commodities that were donated to the government, all hell would break loose.

Lol Americans have paid professional protesters that the dems use from time to time. I'd be surprised if you didn't know this before today.

Go and read the FBI report on the campus protests that happened recently in support of Hama's. Same with riots from George Floyd protest.

Yes this is campaign season and sponsored protests are everywhere. Next time you want to join a political protest find out from the organizers what they are paying

October 7 was a mistake. I told the stupid people jubilating here that day that Hamas will beg for death when Israel begins their long retaliation.

It's foolish to go pick a fight that can never win

Kobojunkieee:
Please stop right there!! Yahaya Bello's own profile shows that his incompetence in office goes as far back as 2015. Why in the world would you people reelect the same scum if not out of ignorance?

Same with Tinubu. Tinubu's only achievement is tax increase and use of touts to extort money, multiple taxation on market women, installation of iyaloja and all manner of shenanigans just to collect money and settle his cronies.

Tinubu owed teachers salary as governor and fought house of assembly and his deputy...to the extent that he changed deputy governor twice in case you don't know. Area boys were the owners of Lagos until Fashola government brought some normalcy.

So I wonder how old are people who keep shouting tinubu this tinubu that .... Either you are strangers in Lagos or you have selective amnesia

In any case I'm happy because he is doing exactly the same thing in Abuja. It's been increase tax, increase cost of living without anything to show for it. Y'all enjoy and keep defending rubbish.

This is year one. The next 7 years will be interesting to watch. Una go get sense!

Nefort:
I have never seen foreigners in Nigeria protesting about bad governance in their country.

That's because their country leaders have common sense policies unlike your leaders here whose only goal is to make life unbearable for citizens while rubbing it on your faces.

Your president said subsidy is gone which caused a panic and runaway inflation only for him to resume paying more subsidy while citizens buy the same subsidized fuel for x4 of the previous price.

How does that make sense to anybody who is not a paid party hack?

1stGenAmerican:
😀

Sponsored protesters just like Tinubus protesters who are protesting against a planned protest 🤣🤣

You are a mumu. Jews that Hezbollah kill like termites everyday. The full invasion of Israel will happen with all their top officials caught in a hole in Tel Aviv like rabbits

You must like daydreams alot

EdgeUp:
Cutting your nose to spite your face is dumb! Policies are made based on interests and facts, not emotions.
When you have sufficient leverage, you can choose to flex your muscle.


My point exactly! It is Nigerians that will suffer it (to and from). If there are no more direct flights to the UK, it is Nigerians that will need to pay extra to go to nearby countries to join connecting flights.

You pay for a service and get it. Yet, you say they are not giving you anything. Understand this, British airways DOES NOT need Nigeria to continue to be successful. UAE just lifted the ban on Nigerians after two years of extensive lobbying (begging), companies are leaving your country wilfully and in droves, airlines have suspended travelling the Nigerian route without flinching etc

Nigerians need to understand their current reality and drop the stupid pride and arrogance.

BA is not doing Nigeria a favour sir.

They were charging Nigerians exploitative air fare before air peace stepped in. One of the hallmarks of a strong leader is ability to take difficult decisions. Our currency was stronger than pounds at some points if not for our useless leaders. Do you know that Nigeria sent aid to UK as some point after independence?

Stop looking down on yourself. Respect must be demanded on the international stage. If you are percieve yourself as weak you will be treated as such.

Do you know how much money out people spend in UK every year? UK needs Nigeria as much as Nigeria need UK

Georgry:


During the campaign period last year anybody who dare to oppose Mr Peter Obi on any issue is quickly aggressively attacked by the Obidient mob, in fact they gave no body the right to make their own choice or ask questions of a man who was governor for 8 years, they just want you to join the moving train or you're gonna be canceled, he's been portrayed as a very clean, not corrupt and a messiah, when you dare ask about his past they just attack you and tag you an enemy of Nigeria, the Image they gave him doesn't suit any of the Nigerian politicians, dissent isn't allowed in their dictionary and to be very honest with you guys, if Peter Obi had won nobody will have the right to protest in Nigeria.

Just replace Peter obi with Tinubu and this your write-up will be 100% correct.

I love how time reveals all things. Tinubu has spent one year now everywhere scatter people no fit chop

successmatters:
There is nothing like protest peacefully in a country without security like Nigeria.

For one, the hungry people who have criminal intents will use the protest as opportunity to loot peoples businesses, Rob, kill, kidnap and rape. It might just turn to an exhibition of crime.

Secondly the rulers may throw in some paid thugs to attack the protesters, and it will turn to a fight, there are just too many likely outcomes that may escalate into big fights, retaliation and revenge killings.

Thirdly, what are Ijaws aiming to achieve as a people with the protest? Nothing. If they are hungry, will th3 government feed them or pay them money to feed themselves till the next 8 years?

Think

Think

Think

Don't allow yourself to be used by the devil for free.

To all of you saying that people should not protest I ask you what is the option?

Have people not complained enough? Did the government listen? Timubu removed subsidy from inauguration ground without any plan and his stupid supporter have been defending every wrong policy. You think Nigerians will keep quiet forever?

Nigerians are patient and long-suffering else this protest should have started from Tinunus inauguration day.

What is the option for an insensitive government that is telling people to endure hardship but keep feeding fat and looting the treasury and rubbing it in the citizens face?

EdgeUp:
Granted that the EFCC has more serious matters to look into like probing NNPC, tracking evil politicians, investigating all the transactions Emefiele had with Dangote etc... The law is still the law and EFCC are doing what the law has asked them to do. DO NOT deface our national symbols for fun

As for the dollarization of the economy, a law should be made to limit the amount of dollars (fx) any individual or company can hold in cash within the country. For example, if you are caught with any amount above say $100, you will be charged for money laundering and be made to forfeit thrice the amount in question with $1000 as the minimum fine (whichever is larger)


Everybody! As long as there is evidence

You know nothing John snow. Who types like this FGS. You will be worse than Tinubu if you become president. Shior
