Couldn't exhaust the cash on my metro card the last time I was there, such a beautiful city

Okete001:
This is really sad.

We supported Tinubu in 2023 election because of his achievements/competence when he was the governor of Lagos State.

Should we be disappointed now?

Let's still keep our fingers crossed and still assume we can't feed a child suffering from kwashiorkor in a day and make him robust.

Please nobody should come and mention Obi here because we all know he was a failure in Anambra for 8 years.

If our current economy is like this under Tinubu, I wonder what it would be under a man like Obi who was a failure for 8 years in Anambra.

Honest question: why are you wondering what the economy would be like for someone you didn't vote for? If you employ someone at your organisation and they start messing up, will you start to wonder how bad the person you didn't employ will perform?

How many common Nigerians can afford a return flight ticket to Dubai right now 😀

mrvitalis:
With leaders like this e go hard rock develop Nigeria...

Tinapa was meant to fail and we keep failing not because it's a bad project na it's a fantastic project

The issue is Nigerians don't have the "business" Population to make it profitable

3 years ago only 3.7milliom Nigerians spent 10 dollar plus per day... Now I'm sure it's below 2 million people

Going to tilapia would cost 50 dollars minimum... How many Nigerians have that to spare per capita

Calabar people would just go there to snap picture

Anyone who has done business in a mall knows the truth 70% of people just come to take pictures

Tinapa like ajokuta can't work the mistake has been made let it go

they don't need Nigerians to make it profitable, foreign tourists will bring in the funds if Nigeria was a tourist destination

PotatoSalad:
Of course. Nigerians are intentional with whatever they do. Then turn around and blame everything but themselves. Tinubu getting 1m votes alone after Buhari's messy 8 years tells a lot.
One idiot here even said he voted for Tinubu cos of his stance on cashless economy. Imagine banking 8 years of your life on that.
Nigerians are intentional.
They deserve whatever they get.

They fully deserve it, that's why I don't pity most Nigerians living in Nigeria

Afrobasic:
Same as me yesterday. Didn't even know it was election day until I checked the 10pm news.

Nigeria has a very long way to go.

Yeah, still feels like Nigerians are living in the 17th century

The last time elections were held here, I didn't even know elections were going on till I saw the results, if it was Nigeria they would have restricted movement everywhere 🤣

Kukutente23:
Can you explain in simple terms what political lessons you taught Obi

Topic is about Renewed hope or dashed hope, but that paid sycophant has turned it around to another subject matter, that's the plan of this administration, learn to ignore people like that

Round of 1 out of 8, Nigerians never see anything!

Tap0lane:
Tinubu should perform before dreaming of 2027. Make una rest from creating all this foolish thread. I de support Tinubu but I won't support his failure, at the moment he is failing on all front. All fronts with no exception.

Your expectations are high 😂 the "real voters" won't even vote based on performance, dollar envelopes here and there and second term is secured, if he decides to go Putin style on Nigerians nothing can stop him.

7.2billion, what a crazy country

Easier to be on the side of the government if you're not in their shoes

Sigh, this is not even a warzone

There is no longer 24/7 electricity in rccg camp?

Leaving a struggling society for a sane one is an achievement

No official update from Nigerian customs yet? What a shame

ideatoprince18:
Palliative!!!

How long will they keep sharing this?? .... can they share palliatives for 8 years?? .... All this fire brigade approach wont solve Nada.

The country is fast sinking... We are losing our worth in Africa,Ecowas and the world at large!!!

The people will forget their suffering again and vote for the same political party

skj1377:
Idiot !! Iran has no foreign investors and their purchasing power is far better than Nigeria even with all the international sanctions. Almost all notable foreign investors have left Russia yet their currency is outperforming the Euro and dollar. Keep on looking for foreign investors to solve your problems. Idiotic ode

Are you comparing Nigeria with Russia? their currency is not outperforming €/$ at the moment, Russian citizens are feeling the heat with the international sanctions, and most of them had to leave Russia or adjust

Work, studying overseas is expensive

emkz:
Yes.

For many years, we have been living in a bubble. We subsidized the consumption by the rich. Our refineries have not been producing. There was pervasive insecurity. Oil theft was rife. Chinese were stealing from us. We started handing out dollars to people for reasons that don't make sense. The subsidy was consistently being abused by people who claimed it and still took the products across the borders. Local fuel consumption was inflated. There were no investments in critical infrastructure. Questionable billionaires emerged following the start of the 4th republic. The bought banks and no one knows the source of their incomes. Industries completely collapsed and religion became rife.

Infact, we started borrowing to pay salaries and subsidies. People like Professor Usman Yusuf in NHIS used their positions to rob the nation. Today, they are sudden moralists for a better Nigeria.

What Tinubu is doing is an attempt to refocus things so that the pains will not be even more in the future. Tinubu demonstrates the boldness many before him lacked. We can see some improvements in certain areas. For example, after the kidnap of the Nabeeha family and the killing of Nabeeha herself, we can see how Wike and Co swung into action and have arrested the masterminds. Our military chiefs are not talking too much and are doing the job.

I recall when they started partitioning roads in Lagos for BRT. As soon as the buses were rolled out, no one criticized Tinubu again. So the suffering we are currently facing are pains that will pass.

We only call on Tinubu to go after the sponsors of terrorism, banditry and rogue businessmen inflating prices. We also call on governors to show workings. It is evil for PDP governors to be attacking the president when they should be worried and working harder for their people.

As a people, let us put the same pressure on the governors, representatives and senators as we put on the president.

If the elections hold again, I'd still throw my weight behind Tinubu. Atiku had his time, and he had nothing to show for it beyond plundering national assets to cronies. He is one of the architects of the current mess and should take responsibility. He also lacks understanding of presidential processes. Peter Obi is just a revolt against the status quo and people conveniently forgot he was a governor as well and Anambra did not improve.

Any sincere Nigerian would make suggestions to help the nation.

BRT's were rolled out during Fashola's regime not Tinubu

Are you sure you'd still have weight to throw by then , judge good governance by its effect on the common man not by sentiments!

If it was easy, then anybody can do it

Most definitely cost of production

MrProlific95:
It appears anytime I log unto Nairaland these days, I only see news of Hardship and threats of protest against the Government of Tinubu.

I thought Nairaland used to support Tinubu.

This must change please.

The government should do something about Nairaland, Daily trust, Daily post etc. that are propagating bad news.

But hardship is the reality na which you can't run away from

HeadNigga:
Tinubu is really here to teach Nigerians to stop voting along religious and ethnic lines. This hardship should reset the brains of those saying "we will teach them a lesson" by 2027.

If by 2027 you guys don't lead the campaign to vote for a credible candidate, I will gladly vote for Tinubu so that the hardship will go on. We must learn a lesson

For people that voted for Buhari twice, I doubt this

seunmsg:
You can always change it when you’re ready to travel.

Okay, from a BDC shop or the bank?

seunmsg:
Why do you want to withdraw dollars in Nigeria? Do we spend dollars or Naira? Why are you not satisfied with the Naira equivalent?

What if I need to go on vacation 🤔

arantess:
Instead of these old incompetent clown to focus on how to remedy the economy and masses sufferings, he's busy writing epistles on atiku.
There are more pressing issues

Are we still in campaign season or what

It's a form of distraction they wanna distract brainwashed supporters, that's the plan till another general elections

Bullrun:
9ja and tribalism, useless set of people

In the midst of hardship, day and night battle and their number one is living his life in Paris

Yes, Suffering and Smiling!

Dennisochampa:
.... Long term you said.... For now, I'll pick my 9ja life over...... In 9ja... There was always light in the estate I stayed in at Arepo..... The few times the light went off.... I had both gen and solar on standby.....
Also I get to eat my favorite food for cheap in 9ja...

Here in the UK...... One fufu is one pound.......
Something that is 100 naira in 9ja....

Ah! you are in the UK, I understand salaries there are not really encouraging and they've been making silly policies recently, I get your point 👍🏿

Dennisochampa:
....
Bros... I have 2 kids... A biz and was working a job of 202k per month in 9ja...
I was able to cater well for my family, was living in a big house and was planning to even buy a car...
By a large means... I was comfortable to a certain extent....
Now I'm in Europe to start over.....
Without experience here.. You will have to start all over to work your way up the food chain which is never easy to do...
So far... I had a better life while in 9ja than now...
That is not to say I regret the decision I've made because me na certified hustler...
I'm just saying that, if one has a good job or an assured means of livelihood.... 9ja no really bad.....

Okay, can you compare the quality of life in Nigeria to European countries? You can have a good job but are the government policies favorable? That Europe that you are in when last did you see your light go off? To enjoy that same luxury in 9ja you've to burn a lot of fuel(at 600+) or install solar systems, if you're in for the long term game in Europe you'd eventually enjoy the system.

Dennisochampa:
Don't envy o..
The cold alone is a reason to be depressed and if u no get means of survival for the first few months.... E don be for you be that...
The only difference between abroad and 9ja is that the system here is working....
In terms of food and weather and cost of living... 9ja beat abroad hands down......
So if you have a job that pays well in 9ja and you can live comfortably and still have some to save.... Broz I suggest you stay in 9ja...
Im speaking from experience

what's your definition of a well paying job? I'm sure you're not referring to getting paid in dying naira
