I know people like you, you belong to the myopic and sentimental group of people we have in this country. I can't ignore the fact that many of them have underlying mental problems, which I don't think you have (or maybe do). People like you love your oppresors. You are seeing the truth but you want to twist it. From 2014 when we started privatization to date, can you openly say there's an improvement? Your president comes in and invite more bodies to come in and ruin the sector even more and you are happy. You are letting the small 10k they paid you to cloud your reasoning. Wake up man and keep your corrections to yourself. Don't quote me again, enjoy the disaster u created...

This is the good thing about u Obi followers, u are not difficult to find out, always hiding behind a thought that u want a prosperous country and then next comment u start with political talks.
I keep reminding u that ur initial comment is fIawed.
A country as rich as Nigèria shouldn't be using privatized electricity, hello, richer countries uses privatized electricity, UK, US which u all love to call "saner climes" run on privatized energy.
U comparing Nigèria to Guinea or Gabon that "even small Gabon...", Commóñ sènsè should have told u it's easier to supply light to a smaller enclave with lesser demands.
U are not making a point, just going emotional as usual.
If u are so ûséIèss that u need to be paid 10k before u think, sorry, I am not like that.
The GEJ u support started this whole privatization sh*t, didn't he?
Did he do it right?

DesChyko:
Commendable. Students loan is a better alternative to subsidizing education to make slaves off graduates as the proposed 5-year practice seeks to do to Doctors (for a start).

However, guaranteeing the loan will be paid back is another hydra-head to be tackled. A graduate without a job will not find it easy repaying their loan. And we have a lot of graduates that are struggling to make ends meet in the country today. Let's look at countries that have this in effect like America and how they're coping with theirs.

Hopefully, we get it right.

First step.
More steps are coming.

Mindlog:
Going by antecedent, repayment will be very low as Nigeria do not have the structures to make it sustainable.

U are only wishing it faiIs.

LagosFirstSon:
Initial gragra as usual . Buhari did more than this at the begining of his first Time.

But seriously, Bola Tinubu is too ugly , president no fit am.

Can u give us the list of the "more than this" that Buhari did?

Waiting patiently for critics

Hatrick01:
Shey na u say make Obi "GO TU COURT"?
Now, u don dey percieve the afang soup wey OBI dey cook for court room, u cum dey para.
Wait fess, u must taste the soup you ordered.

Looking for excûsès already?

We doñ't want Eluu P and pheeDeePhee in power.

Obaaderemi2:
Any small thing you would hear them say: I Know you are the one suffering.

They are always enjoying, they are all successful and prosperous but during campaign, they will tell they are tîrèd of sûffering.
One told me some months ago that I doñ't know what's quality life.
I told him quality life is relative.
To some people, being a farmer with a large farmland where they have a small family with crops, life stocks and water is enough for them.
No everyone wants to drive a Rolls Royce, not everyone wants to be locked up in a mansion.
Not everyone wants social media attention that comes with popularity.

KingLennon:
You're talking like a mediocre. Am not also talking about corruption, it's a normal thing. Am talking about how a rich country like Nigeria cannot enjoy atleast 20 hours constant electricity despite the privatization

Only a mediocre uses "am" instead of "I'm"
That's not what u are talking about, u talking about how a rich country like Nigèria is privatizing electricity whereas richer countries like UK, US privatized electricity.
U also made mention of how a small country like Gambia or Gabon is having more steady electricity compared to Nigeria.
Smaller societies with less industries requires lesser resources to electrify a society.
When u want to make comparisons, learn to make it well that's my point.

MrBiGGEST:
😂😂
Lol the OBIDAFT really thinks people will fall for this ? My god

Ridiculousness, Donny Kruger feeling like a genius 😂...


😂😂 Give him $15000 for what?
To stop Wailing?
The guy is a clown and na fellow OBIDAFTs go believe am

The story is meant for them to console themselves with it.
One of them told me few days ago that APC is really scarèd of LP now so they are the opposition now not PDP.
I said Ok

cucumbar:
I don’t do BRT I left that league nearly 20 years ago. I’m just feeling for people like you supporting corrupt leaders, and are living from hand to mouth because of tribalism, but it’s sad you love where you are.Like I said, I know a lot of you like that so I can tell when I see one.

I always love Obi's sûppôrters, when u are paînèd so much u all want us to start talking about personal lives.
If we compare ourselves now, u will see that u and ur fada are not even qualified to attend any meeting my family is attending.
BRT first came to Africa in 2008.
Somehow u "...left BRT nearly 20 years ago..."?
LOL.
Doesn't sound funny to you?

SenatePresdo:
So should driving be illegal because drivers can kill innocent Road users?

Driving is not what u want to do with ur body, is it?
How some of u dig out Iamè comparison baffles, it makes me wonder of u don't think through.

Can u tell us the name of the company where he was offered shares?
I am sure they tried not include any company name in their constructed chat to avoid being busted.

LP followers keep saying they are taking power from the cabals, what they wanted to do in real sense is take power from established cabals to lesser cabals which will become established cabals in the shortest period of time.

Nobody will give u $15,000 in this economy to stop f00Iing urself on social media.
Two 0bing0s decided to prank themselves.
What's the company name again?
The company where he is getting shares has no name or identity?
Someone offering u a deal will be this tîmid?
Why una mumu Iike this?
To form a straight story is always difficult for u guys just Obi himself cañ't form a straight story.

SenatePresdo:
That's the same reason Suicide is A felony, despite that it's your own self you killed.

But Countries are decriminalizing suicide. UK has decriminalized Suicide.

Portugal has decriminalized personal use of hard drugs.

That's why Gay is also being Decriminalized.

They have evolved to understand that humans are responsible for their body.

So why should you be against Gay?

Being "responsible for ur body" could lead to the dèàth of another body which is not urs.

Arrewa:
I am a straight dude with a passionate love for bobs, Asss and V.G

Bit I see nothing wrong in two Adult deciding to be Gay or whatsoever!!

Black people should focus on effective justice system, modern and scientific enlightenment, and modify our political system and civil service...

Do u see anything wróñg in legalizing use of hàrd drûgs?

VinnyBaba:
Just SHUT UP, You Jealous Entity.

APGA was in a State of Turmoil, Dat's why Peter Obi Left.
He did not Join PDP for Financial Gains.😏

As for leaving PDP for LP during that PDP Primaries period,
Incase you don't know, It was a Young Nigerian Guy on Twitter that told him he shouldn't be running mate to Atiku again.

Dat he MUST Contest as a Candidate!

Hence He responded to the Clarion call and made Labour Party, the National Force, it is today!😊😎

Jesus should have brought solutions to APGA and not run away.

KingLennon:
Why will a country as financially buoyant as Nigeria privatise their power sector?



See small country like Gambia, them never take light reach 12 hours since January start like dis

US, UK all privatized their electricity, we are not richer than them.
Moreover, it's way easier to supply light to a small country like Gambia than a big country like Nigèria, Gambia has lesser industries.
We are talking about córruption in our system, u are making Iamè comparison.

JOemmy:
We know that they are no saints but you can't compare them to nigerian leaders who deliberately massacre their own people because of ethnic and religious difference. Have you ever heard that any American president provided cover for terrorists while they mercilessly massacre americans without any attempt to arrest and prosecute them? There's actually no basis to even compare western leaders and nigerian evil leaders who directly dines with the devil.

Who are those who names people terrórïsts?
Same western Ieadèrs and they only namè u tèrrórïsts when u dón't serve their purpose anymore.
Western leaders are more dèmoñïc than Nigèria leàders, they doñ't use thèîr own to play pólitîcs like u Nigèriàñs do.
They only use such things to play extreme poIitics like they are doing against Russia now.
Same people provide safe havens for côrrupt Africàñ leàders to store their weaIth.
Under thèîr noses gûñ voiIence is a daily occurrence, is that not kiIIïng ur own people?
Western societies doñ't expose themselves the way we in Nigèria do because they know very well it doesn't change anything.

Negroid001:
Leave am. People wey never manage their personal lives well go come nairaland dey spoil other people good work.

They are all good administrators and polîticians on social media but they can't run a business successfully.

sirchim:
Oga save your breath, even THIEFNIBU knew he RIGGED his way up.

We all know Lienus Obi wanted to stèàl our election.

Dybala11:
Don't mind the dude jor. The only misgiving I have concerning the subsidy removal is that since we know how our Nigerian societies work, has the federal government put any policy in place to mitigate the effects of subsidy removal on average Nigerians?? So far it seems as if there's nothing at all, the goal is to remove the subsidy with no provision to directly create a way to ease the impacts on the common man. We shall see as things unfold sha.

That's it, with the removal of subsidy, resources should be channelled to the necessary growth areas and we will be ok.
Policies and movements should be made to drive down the prices of oil, that's what we are looking forward to.

cucumbar:
idi.ot. I know many of you like that. That was the same thing you guys said about Buhari 8 years ago.
If you check am now, he is feeding from hand to mouth, jumping BRT.

Can u àffórd a BRT?
Can u àffórd feeding from hands to móûth?
Food matters so mûch to u lgb0s, I have been to SE severally and I see how u guys treat each other because of food.
Where I come from, we have abundance of food that we doñ't feel superior to one another because of food.
If truth hûrts u, sorry for ur sórry Iifè.

asanausana91:
Atiku would have removed subsidy but after palliative is ready.
You cannot just remove subsidy without doing anything.
As for now what will this country subsidize for us? Every country subsidize one thing or the other.

The country needs economic growth not subsidy.
If I tell u to make a comprehensive list of what countries like China, Singapore, Japan, Russia, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany etc subsidize now, u will start scrambling all over google looking for something to hold onto and u will not see anyone.
Even if there are no options for presidency, we Nîgeriàns will ÑÈVÈR vote Atiku.

asanausana91:
Is obi your president? So tinubu is taking advice from peter Obi abi?

If Tinubu took advice from PitObi, he wouldn't have won the election.

asanausana91:
did Obi also tell you that he will not release palliative starting from day one? Obi is not my candidate but I believe obi will not allow us to surfer like this.
Same thing to Atiku, he has very good plan to cushion the effect of subsidy which will implemented before removing subsidy.
People are dieing with hunger just because tinubu want more money for his drug business.
RENEWED SURFER!

Atiku will not allow people to sûffér but he oversaw the sale ALSCON to some Russians for 10% the price spent on it's construction, do u know ALSCON was run to the ground and the community gaining from ALSCON suffered?
What about the sale of NEPA?
What about diverting water board pipes serving the people of Adamawa to serve his Faro water?
Same person who can deprive people to serve his personal interest will cushion the effects of subsidy?
Obi hiked tuition fees in Anambra by almost 100% if not more than.
Last time I remember, students staged a large protest, Obi said "education is not for the póór".
How comes he couldn't cushion the effects of hiking tuition fees?
These two men allowed people to sûffér, somehow u want to make urself believe they wón't allow Nîgeriàns to suffer.
Ur day one in office and all of a sudden u have chains of methods to release palliatives to the masses?

Firecolos:
This is a mumulized topic. You got thousands of Nigerian villages and towns without electricity...why is it fuçking hard for supposedly giant of Africa to attain the level of uninterrupted power supply?

My present location is nothing to write.

So I ask: what are we really enjoying/flexing as Nigerians? Is this how we live? Life's too short. These men at the helms should well because we are here today, tomorrow we are no more.


I'm tired...I really tired of this country.

I always keep telling folks like u, since stuffs like this are so simple to achieve, run for an office, get into an office and make them possible, rànting online with a false sènsè of sophistication doesn't change anything.

thegooddieyoung:
Bros spare me the lengthy explanation, PBAT's announcement was very ill- timed.

Infact, the line "Subsidy is gone" was not in his original speech manuscript at all.


We are yet to witness the really effects of this sudden removal without a well-thought-out cushioning plan.

If it has been possible for u Obi followers to dèñy that Obi wouldn't have removed subsidy, u would have done that.
No "cushioning plan" will work in this Nigèria.
U know that, we all know that, but since agreeing with the decision is tough for most of u, u all resórt to cushioning plans.
Obi wouldn't have been able to provide any cushioning plan just like he didn't provide in Anambra when he hiked tuition fees of ANSU.
And Obi said clearly that "subsidy is an eviI I won't allow to spend another day when I assume office"

thegooddieyoung:
Oga, Peter Obi also clearly stated that he would set up systems to ensure that the poor masses do not feel immediate bites of subsidy removal hence the need to remove it in phases of 50%.

I bet that you do not even fare better now but you must comment to feel among.

I hope you attended the inauguration ceremony in Abuja, how did you manage to come back after the ill-timed announcement?

U Will set up systems in ur one day in office?
I am sure u will prèteñd he didn't say that.
I watched an interview in one town hall meeting where Obi said, "I already know your problems and I am coming to solve it".
In another town hall meeting he said "I won't be a president who stays in Abuja, I will go around and know your problems".
Someone who said in a previous interview that he already knows our problems is saying in the next interview that he will know our problems.
The àssIicking u guys were giving him didn't make u realize the incoherence in his speeches abi?
I didn't vote Tinubu to fare better in a matter of 2 or 5 months, I read his manifesto, I followed his campaign, I voted him because he has the vision and capacity to make necessary changes, necessary changes always cause inconvenience, that's the knowledge most of u Iàck, u all believed a messiah is coming where every policy will give u joy, u need to wake up.

happney65:
Dear Penguin,

I didn't want to reply this post but my spirit keeps on pushing me back. I want you to bookmark this and come back to it in about a year or so may the universe grant us good life.

You see there is little or no difference in Tinubu and Buhari and you are already falling for the same set of propaganda they deployed in 2015.

Referring to Buhari's appointees as almost illeterates is unfortunate. Adamu Adamu might be a nonesense minister of Education, but he isn't an illeterates as he is a PHD Holder. So therefore Tinubu's appointees won't be different from that of Buhari.

I mean Buhari's appointees might be mostly of his ethnic block but they were Men and women of timber and calibre. They couldn't perform because their head which is the president do not seen to know what he is doing.

Claiming Tinubu has best hands is also a fallacy. Apart from Lagos, The other states in the SW his people were in charge are nonesense states. Osun state was the Poverty capital of the SW courtsey of Tinubu's right hand Man aregbesola.

Or is it Ekiti? That place is more or less a dead zone. Even Lagos under him became the second worst city to live in the world.

Let's not talk about Lagos itself because even if you put a 10year old as Govornor it can run with or without his input. It was made possible being former federal capital of Nigeria and not the magic of Tinubu

2. Claiming security will improve under Tinubu is a fallacy as there will be little or no difference in the current security architecture.

You referred to the security architecture established by Govornors of the SW which is Amotekun.

Let me bust your brain. It is only Lagos in the SW that doesn't have a single Amotekun force despite sanwo Olu attending their summits.

The creation of Amotekun has helped the SW a lot most especially Oyo state. Yet Tinubu's Lagos do not have one single Amotekun officer because of Tinubu's ambition and not wanting to offend the North.

You see he owes the North,He dare not do anything against them. He wants to be president just to answer the name. He won't do anything spectacular. We will only be taxed more.

No restructuring will happen under him. That I am sure about. Maybe some might happen if Akpabio becomes Senate president on Tuesday which I hope he does.

But if the North becomes Senate president,just forget the Tinubu presidency because they will have him by his scrotum.

The so-called subsidy removal is for government to have more money to embezzle and not for nothing else. It will only lead to more hardship for Nigerians and nothing more.

If I can remember the others you talked about I'll come edit this post

Thanks

Lagos under Tinubu was the second wôrst city to live in but his boys made it good, u didn't praise him for his boys making it good but u cóñdemñ him for his boys not doing so well in other states.
LOL.
Ahhhh, Obi...

richidinho:
Dude just spent two weeks in office

Medium size Close up has jumped from 200 to 300 naira

Lipton tea that used to be 20naira each as of 28th of May is now 30naira each

Do you know that a satchet of peak milk sold at 100naira is now 150naira?

I have no doubt u supported Obi who said "I won't allow subsidy to spend another day when I assume office", u all clapped for him.
Do u think things would have been different if he removed subsidy?
Of course things would be different, ur comments and posts will be "córruption is fighting back", "APC is sponsoring all these unions", "all these people are hiking prices, they think this is APC and Buhari that don't know what they are doing" etc etc.
Ur comments and replies would have been the only things different.
