Nigerians discuss elections/politics like it's a game , the people are the losers at the end of the day if whoever is elected doesn't perform

Ivimmanuel:
Even the power now is even too expensive despite not been stable. 5k can't get you 30 units anymire

Sigh, these are the things that matter in the grand scheme of things, but it looks like the government don't give a damn and a lot of Nigerians are very much okay with the system

I've always wondered why the government is not prioritising the reasons for Nigerians over dependency on PMS, I think Nigerians mainly depend on PMS due to
- Poor power supply
- Poor public transportation system in cities

With this two fixed, majority of the population don't have to worry about PMS, and this will benefit the common people. Maybe it is not as straightforward as I think it is but other nations where power supply is regular at least only have to bother about getting PMS for their vehicles, that's if they don't have an electric vehicle.

Tinubu should even forgot about contesting for 2027 general election. He will be disgraced.

You think so? We've had his party ruling Lagos since 1999, that man will do anything to cling to power including throwing his comrades under the bus

gift2xl:
I thought by now every person for done de street they protest.

No they won't, but when big churches hold program you'll see thousands of people attending and praying for divine favour and prosperity 😂 when they are supposed to drag the government for better economy.

"Let's divert their attention a bit"

TheFreshVanilla:
If we weren't a nation of foolls, how could we trust the resources of over 200 million people to someone with a dubious track record. A man who was too afraid to participate in a presidential debate.

He wasn't afraid to participate in debates he just didn't give a f**k, Sanwoolu did the same, heard Edo State candidate did not participate in debate too

sulaak:
This administration cannot work. If the opposition parties are serious, they should start impeachment proceedings now.

If it's not going to work, the administration also needs to feel it that the people are suffering

It's insane how political discussions are already about next elections, not even how to get the current administration to work.

Current administration playbook seems to be working fine: they get their followers to attack other political parties, so no matter how the hardship gets the people will fight themselves and forget about the government 😂

jmoore:
Sane people did not vote for him na.

Never underestimate the power of insane people in large numbers. They can vote for him again.

again and again

Reelmii:
..politicians are always cool with themselves....na their fans just dey get headache for their matter

Of course, it's the fans that suffer too, I don't understand Nigerians obsession with politicians(public servants) just do your damn your job and make people life easier

Starboytwo:
Are you not tired of blaming the government, I'm starting to blame the people I can see and influence...

Last time rain fell, I legit saw a whole building with people, men, woman, even caring a baby, the whole house was in on it, emptying a big drum of dirt inside the gutter.

I shouted where I was and asked why would they do such a thing, "water will carry it away was what they told me" can you believe that...

We need a BIG reorientation. .. It's not funny, if you think it's only politicians, it's not.

That's a stupid thing to do, but what are the consequences for their actions? None! And that's because Nigeria does not have a functional system to put them in their place, if such should happen here, I only need to call the police and they'll intervene asap, would you have done the same?

Starboytwo:
Also, government people apart, Most Nigerians are terrible people, with terrible personalities. I dont know the best way to qualify it. Nigerians will do things that they can't ever try outside Nigeria.

E. G, the woman who tore her husband passport, she waited to leave Europe, landed in 9ja before she tore off her hubby's passport.

Nigerians will eat and throw nylon on the ground right there, Nigerians will sheet inside gutters.

Most Nigerians will go to UK and dare not litter the ground, would hardly wanna sheet in the gutter? Why

Why do we do such to ourselves?? We need to change our selves.

All these things you mentioned are human thing and not specific to Nigerians, you don't want to see how other nationalities behave in their country, but they've law enforced, so if you do anyhow there are repercussions, but who is enforcing law in Nigeria? The blame is on the government please, not citizens

Developed countries you never have to worry about getting fuel or whatever, public transportation is efficient, if you want to drive there are affordable electric vehicles. Light is a constant thing, just do your daily job and chill, government is not choking your neck

Starboytwo:
Bros, Abeg I'm serious about this New Zealand. Gimme update.

I love Naija. I still repeat. But I no fit suffer. I don pack my car almost 3 weeks I no fit drive am.

I go fuel station, see queue I no sabi queue for my life. See fight, see struggle, why we con get abundant crude deposit? Why we con get refinery? Why Dangote never help upon all the story?? Na for that filling station I decide say, I go prefer another country wey I no go dey queue for fuel...

Abeg ooo, I love Naija, but I no fit queue still buy for 950/litre.

When I was in Nigeria I had phone numbers of several fuel attendants 😂, Nigeria is such a ghetto I wonder how normal people are coping there

AcuraZDX:
You can imagine the trash.

People are suffering because of bad policies from the government.. But he's blaming the masses.

The goat is devil that we hear about. No cap..

Those are the kind of people that will throw others under the bus for peanut 🤣, Nigerian politicians are living fat and stealing heavily, but the masses are the problem, smh

Nigerians can adapt to any situation

Fight for selfish interest is the right word here

samomoli:
Nigerians never see anything. Hunger will reset Una brain.. politicians playing ping pong with your brain. If what they are doing is right, why hide the price of the plane..l pity sychopant and 30,000 naira supporters of these people.. think of your future and children future, stop depending on palliative

Lol, same politicians will share food and money, and the people will start to sing their praises again Nigeria is not a place for any forward thinking person, that place can make someone mad

cococandy:
Is the Bronx or outskirts not better than that box he’s in?

Obviously the average hotel is not that cheap but for someone desperate like him, he could have found something better than that for a few dollars more. Which is literally my point and y’all are just arguing pointlessly. What website is that?
There are many websites. Just choose the one you want to book with.

I use Expedia and booking.com and they don't tally with the prices in the screenshot, anyways where the guy wants to stay is his personal problem. Have a good weekend

DaddyCoool:

But even that is not $50. See discount prices fot Made Hotel below

Lmaoooo, imagine paying such amount for that kinda hotel, NYC is weird 😅

DaddyCoool:
Even cheapest in Bronx is not $50. See below

Hahahaha, wondering where she's gonna get that then 🤣

DaddyCoool:
Fiction is something outside what REGULARLY obtains, NOT people who'd rather get peanuts than leave a room empty. You gave example of going on vacation - how much you'll expect to pay for a regular hotel room in NYC. If you tell anyone you're budgeting $50 a night, they'll tell you good luck with that!
Below is what REGULARLY obtains

this is the kinda hotel she is gonna get at that amount 🤣

cococandy:
There are dirt cheap hotels that cost that much per day as at now. Much less many years ago. Meaning he could have gotten hotels for that price or less for 24 hours since this supposedly happened years ago.

Na him wan stay New York. In fact even in New York he could have gotten hotels at that price for 24 hours instead of 8 hours and stay the whole day. plus some will serve you breakfast.

Pls shut up abeg.

Hotels in NYC are not that cheap, except you're settling for the Bronx or outskirts, what app/website is this? The first hotel is €153 on booking.com

omojeesu:
The trend of worse things to come if not nipped in the bud now before it becomes a monster!

I think anyone living in Lagos should be scared, these thugs cause problems openly during elections and everyone just watch, what do the people expect them to do after elections?

Roads are being blocked here anytime there is a protest, it is very normal!

Zombie way na one way 😂

AdisaMighty:
The national anthem guy? 😂

Yeah

AdisaMighty:
I actually saw them there. Decided not to post about it for personal reasons

Okay, there is also one man that's always blasting music in front of the white house 🤣

AdisaMighty:
Got to the White House and for some reasons it was all barricaded. I was able to capture a picture from afar. Also what I believe was the president’s helicopter was flying out of the White House

Looks like the protesters are no longer there
