KennethOkonkwo:I don’t expect any right thinking person to still support this government. The minimum wage was over $200 in 2014, today the minimum wage is about $43. And you still want some like me to support the same government? I have never seen an evil incarnate person like this. |
KennethOkonkwo:Yes, “belouded” indeed. That someone didn’t contest since 2007 doesn’t mean he’s desperate. He knew his chances were very slim that was why he didn’t contest. Looking at some of the unholy alliances he entered just to win the election was a clear indication of a desperate man. Any man that loves this country dearly would keep Wike out of his government. |
What took you guys so long? This was expected. In fact I expect more of this character assassination against Atiku. All these just to demarket Atiku because he seems to be the only person that can oust this evil party from Aso Rock. Pls continue, bring out more… |
bobby007:On the contrary, Atiku wasn’t that desperate. A man that is desperate can do and undo just to get whatever he wants. He wouldn’t care about the consequences of his choices. I didn’t see that in Atiku. If Atiku was that desperate as you people claimed, he wouldn’t mind working with Wike and other people with questionable characters just to get what he wants. As a matter of fact, the man in Aso Rock was more desperate than Atiku. |
#NaYourMamaBeDis I’m very proud of these girls. How can you call another woman my mother and you want me to accept. You even had the effrontery to say you don’t have another mother? God punish you for saying that. Do you even know how much these mothers sacrificed to send their daughters to school? One fool now had the audacity to call her my mother? This is worst than military junta. I’m totally disappointed that some idiots with dead brains are even condemning the girls. I wonder if these idiots had mothers at home. If your own mother is useless and does not worth calling your mother, not every mother is useless. |
#NaYourMama I love that song |
I’m very proud of these girls. |
tutudesz:Embarrassment is an understatement. I wish I had a better word to describe this Zombie. I wonder what qualifies the woman as their mother? Did she send them to school? Paid their tuition fee or even fed them? |
helinues:Again, just like the Mr. President you are one sided. As long as the lawbreakers listen to Wike, they can NEVER work with Fubara. In Chess, sometimes you may have to sacrifice your queen for an obvious advantage to checkmate your opponent. What do you think would have happened if Tinubu decided to suspend Wike? That could be the end of the Rivers crisis and Wike’s political career. APC may not welcome him and he can’t go back to PDP. What do you think? |
tundegan:Oh really? Have you watched Troy? “We have never lost a battle…” There is a lesson there for you. |
helinues:I agree with you, but would they listen? |
Salewa97:As long as we have people like you in Nigeria, it would be very difficult to have a good and responsible government. |
The built-up to Nigeria’s 2023 presidential elections was one of the most anticipated, yet divisive periods in the country’s history. The race was full of dramatic twists and turns, with various candidates and political factions vying for power. Among the most prominent figures was Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Despite facing criticism on multiple fronts, Tinubu secured the presidency, much to the dismay of many who saw his victory as a continuation of the country’s entrenched political system, which they believed had failed them. However, an interesting hypothetical arises when considering the aftermath of this highly contested election: What would be the worst outcome for Nigerians after the “30-Day Rant Challenge,”? The 30-day rant challenge is a social media trend where participants, typically influencers or regular users, post daily rants or complaints about various aspects of life in the country. This challenge serves as a platform for people to vent frustrations on topics ranging from societal issues, politics, daily struggles, to personal experiences. It often sparks conversations, brings attention to societal issues, and fosters a sense of community among Nigerians who relate to the shared grievances. In this context, the worst-case scenario would be Tinubu winning a second term after enduring a relentless barrage of critiques, doubts, and rants over a 30-day challenge. Here’s why. The Vicious Cycle of Impunity A second term for Tinubu, especially after a volatile election period, would reinforce the sense of political impunity that has plagued Nigeria for decades. Critics of the president have long pointed out the pervasive corruption, lack of accountability, and inadequate response to the country’s major challenges—ranging from insecurity to economic instability. If Tinubu were to win a second term, it would signal to the political elite that no matter how contentious or controversial a leader's tenure is, the people’s outcry and frustrations can be ignored or, worse, silenced. This sets a dangerous precedent that further entrenches the status quo and strengthens the hands of future politicians who may follow in his footsteps. Further Polarization and Division The "30-Day Rant Challenge" would likely reflect the deepening division between the people and their government. With multiple criticisms of the president’s actions, policies, and leadership style, Nigerians would be voicing their frustration loudly. However, if Tinubu were to emerge victorious in securing a second term despite this outpouring of dissatisfaction, it would create even deeper fractures within the Nigerian populace. The challenges faced by citizens—ranging from rising inflation to the worsening security situation—would likely fuel further resentment toward an administration that seems to disregard the voices of the people. The division within the country could escalate, making it difficult for Nigerians to find common ground, regardless of their political allegiance. This polarization may worsen under a second term, with opposition parties becoming more emboldened in their resistance and pro-government factions doubling down on their support for the president. At the end of the day, the country could find itself locked in a never-ending cycle of tension, protest, and counter-protest, stalling any real progress or reform. A Decline in Democratic Values One of the worst consequences of a second term for Tinubu after this "30-day rant" would be the deterioration of democratic values in Nigeria. Throughout the election process, there were widespread concerns about transparency, fairness, and the legitimacy of the electoral process itself. Many felt that the election was marred by voter suppression, manipulation, and even electoral fraud. If Tinubu were to be re-elected despite the deep-rooted skepticism surrounding the elections, it would signal a fundamental breakdown in the democratic processes. The very idea of a free and fair election would be called into question, leaving many citizens disillusioned with the political system. As the country struggles with issues like insecurity, economic inequality, and poor governance, a second term for a controversial leader could create a sense of apathy, further alienating the population from the political process. This would set a dangerous precedent for the future, making it easier for future administrations to rig elections or use undemocratic tactics to maintain power. A Deterioration of Trust in Institutions For any democracy to function effectively, citizens must have trust in their institutions—such as the judiciary, the media, and the electoral body. Tinubu’s first term has been marred by accusations of undermining key institutions, with critics pointing to his use of power to influence key appointments and decisions. If he were to win a second term after the "30-day rant" challenge, it would likely further erode trust in these institutions. The government’s actions might be perceived as disregarding the rule of law, with the president and his party bending or breaking the system to maintain power. This could weaken the very foundations of Nigeria’s democracy, leading to a crisis of confidence in the country’s ability to hold leaders accountable. What Next? The worst outcome for Nigerians after the "30-day rant challenge" would be a second term for Tinubu, as it would represent a failure of the political system to respond to the will of the people. It would solidify the belief that public dissent has little effect on the country’s leadership, and that power can be maintained regardless of popular opposition. However, the fight for a better Nigeria is far from over. If such an outcome were to occur, it would be essential for citizens to continue pushing for transparency, accountability, and political reform, using every available tool to make their voices heard. The battle for Nigeria’s future will not be won in a single election cycle or through a 30-day rant. It will require long-term, sustained efforts by the people to demand better governance, challenge the political elite, and ultimately reshape the country’s democratic processes for the better. In the end, a second term for Tinubu after the 30-day rant would not just be a personal defeat for those who opposed him—it would be a collective setback for the nation’s future. The worst-case scenario is not just about one individual winning another term. It’s about the soul of Nigerian democracy being further undermined and the hopes for positive change slipping even further away. |
WithFact:You don talk sense finish abi? But I don’t think I should waste my time if you don’t understand the difference between international trades and local trades. |
Starzo:The election is less than 2yrs. Tinubu is not an average politician, if you know him very well. Tinubu started planing his presidency immediately Buhari was sworn in. Unfortunately for other politicians, they waited for 6months before the elections before they started planning. What do you expect? I don’t spread mischief as you put it, but just trying to awaken other Nigerians not to make the same mistake twice. Buhari used the same strategy, two years into the elections we witnessed decline in the price of dollar and other things, but what happened after the elections? That prices of dollar and fuel are coming down now does not mean because Tinubu likes Nigerian, but simply because of his selfish desire. |
Salebo:If you think I would waste my precious time and engage this uncouth, mannerless and very unintelligent fool in an unprofessional and argument, then you must be out of your senses. Perhaps the N30k per month you receive from saying this nonsense is very important to you. We are definitely not in the same league. I will be a fool to engage you further. You can kpai in your stupidity and ignorance. What a waste |
Guestmale:Atiku and Obi yes did promise to remove the subsidies, but none of them said they would float the naira. As much as I support the subsidy removal, floating the naira was the biggest mistake. That explains why they have started spending huge $8billion to stabilize the naira. Sentiment asides, this man is a total failure. |
Starzo:Yes, elections will likely take place in early (January/February 2027. If you study the history very well, election ground works starts 2 years before the election. How do you explain the sudden surge intervention in supporting the. Airs? When we expected this man to act and save the economy, he came out and told Nigerians on the national broadcast that there is nothing he could do. About a year after, and two years into the next election, he started supporting naira with over $8billion. If his policies are working, why did he repent from his previous decisions. Oga, use your brain and think. |
Bosman17:You know the quote, when a foolish man keeps quiet, he may be regarded as an intelligent man. You have just shown how stupid you’re. So because election is likely going to take place around late 2026 to early 2027 and you think it’s too early to start planning for the election? It shows how myopic and stupid you are. |
Bosman17:It shows how stupid and shallow minded you are. Most you believe everything Tinubu tells you? Pls tell me, how did he tripped the state allocation? Oh you guys thought everyone is stupid? Now let’s discuss. In 2014, the average monthly allocation was N5billion naira or we can say $26million dollars every month. 10years after, in 2025, the average state allocation is less than N10billion naira, or we can say $6m dollars. So pls tell me, if you can, how did Tinubu tripped the allocation. You are just dumb and stupid at the same time. I don’t blame you actually, when your state governors can’t calculate simple arithmetic. Bunch of stupid people. |
seguntijan:Thanking NNPCL for what exactly? |
cococandy:The elections should be next year while preparations start this year. |
linkers:Unfortunately, this would have more negative impacts on the economy than positive impacts. One would have expected the prices of transportation, goods and services to reduce. But not in Nigeria. However when the price of fuel goes back to the old price of N1200, you will see the prices of goods and services increases accordingly. |
givedemwotowoto:This can’t be far from the truth. Election is behind the corners and they must prove to the idiots that their policies have started working. The same way they have been secretly pumping money to support the naira just to prove that their policies are working. |
hafeeanubasy:Because you’re so dumb and stupid to use your head, that’s if you had one. |
What this people don’t know is that Nigerians are always at the receiving end of this unstable economy. Now that the price of fuel has come down to N850, you should have expected the prices of transportation, goods and services to also come down accordingly. But unfortunately the price won’t come down, and if by tomorrow the price of fuel goes back to N1200 from the new N850, the prices will be adjusted accordingly immediately. |
Walezy2020:You must have been comparing Tinubu with Trump. Both of them have different ideologies: one believes in “America first” while the other believes “emilokan” how do you want both of the to reason same way? |
cococandy:So you actually believe the price is coming down? Wait until after the elections. This man will do everything to make people believe his policies are working. The same way dollars went down last week, now the fuel. A simple logical explanation for this is that elections preparation is behind the corner and they must get something to use for their campaign. Pls write this down, if by mistake, Tinubu wins the second term election, dollar is going above N2000. |
The problem wasn’t subside removal, but floating the naira at the same time. Now that our Chicago economist has started strengthening the naira with over $8billion and it seems the dollar has started coming down for obvious reasons, I expect the fuel to also come down. I also expected the shallow thinkers to start praising the olodo of a president. Expect the prices of dollars and the petrol to further go down until after the elections. And expect the real or new prices after the elections. Sebi una no wise ni. |
Abeg, how many times would this FR hits $40? |
press9jatv:Oh, you think so? I was in osun few weeks ago, the opinions I sampled from Okada riders to market women, from the community people to the farmers and civil servants say otherwise. |
Over confidence. |
