You are right my brother.
OBJ did everything.....it was all heaven on earth. Tinubu came and destroyed all the:
1. All the Federal roads, excavated all the asphalt and starts his kangaroo construction
2. All the health care facilities and equipment that OBJ installed in all teaching hospitals and bulldozed down all health centres and cancer centres and reduce doctors salaries grin
3. Tinubu destroyed all the interstate railway infrastructure that OBJ built to improve the economy. Tinubu must be a destroyer😁
4. Education in Nigeria during Obasanjo was top notch, no ASUU strike, lectures and teachers well paid but Tinubu came and destroyed all Education sector grin.
5. Every household during Obasanjo was living fine and driving cars but the oppositions paid Idris, African china, Black face, Tuface, Niggar Raw and other musicians who sang out the frustration of the people. But now Tinubu has brought poverty.
6. #1500 minimum wage was better and people could build house easily and buy cars. Tinubu destroyed everything
7. There was no corruption during Obasanjo regime. Report of killings, political assassinations and freedom suppression were propaganda to spoil his government grin
8. There was no strike either from NLC, NUPENG, Resident doctors, ASUU etc.
9. Tinubu came and destroyed all the oil refineries that OBJ built, destroyed all the airports, all the seaports, all the power stations, destroyed AJaokuta steel company that OBJ almost completed before he left,, destroyed all the bridges over sea and lands. Tinubu must be evil grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
😆 Given the contents of the image below, your reaction is completely understandable. Even Tinubu himself confirmed it, though I pray may yours not be permanent.

Nigeria is a really beautiful country.

Lol that Isoko language can make us laugh for area that year. I find the language very funny, and entertaining, it feels as if they are singing when talking. "Jacobu wo ple table tennisi" In Sapele Delta state, Okpe is like a forgotten language I barely heard people speaking that language the last time I visited, unlike the Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiri, Igbo, Isoko and others. Okpe genz generation wan deaf my ear with tegwolo wafi English.

lailo:
1. Obj government being heaven on earth
with #1500 minimum wage for workers?
Make I school you small.
OBJ increased minimum wage in the year 2000 from #3500, to #6500 for states, and #7500 for federal, that period, Nigeria Consumer Price Index (CPI) was at 29.60
Now let's find out the purchasing power of #7500 in the year 2000 VS 2025

Using 2010 as a baseline, Nigeria CPI as at 2025 is 860.32 according to world bank figures

Therefore: 860.32 / 29.60 = 29.065

7500 * 29.065 = 217987.5

Can you now see that the #7500 minimum wage OBJ paid in the year 2000, is worth #217987.5 in 2025?
You see why education no be scam?
2. Tokunbo car I no sure say e go reach 100k but no worker get money to buy it?
During that period, na taxi people dey enter as in people dey use cars do taxi work, not Keke, or tuke, tuke bus, there was a Volkswagen model then named Passat, wey people nickname "PURE WATER" because e dey very popular, cheap, and full everywhere yakpa, my old man no gree buy am because e too common, instead he settled for a Nissan, he was a civil servant. Na the same taxi driver, wey society consider say na suffer head work then, na him graduates dey happily do today, dem call am Uber.
3. To build house for 3 bedroom flat complete then na just ordinary 1.5 million budget but no worker get that kain money?
Using the CPI figures above that same 1.5 million na #43,597,500 today, how many civil servants get that kind money now?
4. All federal roads were in shambles, accidents everywhere, political killings, ritual killings, prostitution, kidnappings, armed robbery, cultists were order of the day....
So accidents don stop today, Is it not a pity, that same federal roads are inaccessible till date? For Plateau, na mass burial dey reign now, Bandits dey pursue full communities from their homes. Them dey even kidnap full school now, dem they collect tax from residents for some communities now, rag tag bandits dey even use Nukes turn eba currently. Dem dey boldly display their crime proceeds for TikTok now. Then rituals were considered abominable, and secret acts, but now even 14 years old dey run am steady.

5. No railway, no light, no fuel, queuing at filling stations for 3 days everytime.....
According to the Nigerian Railway Corporation figures, reproduced by the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE). From 1999 - 2003, Nigeria Railway carried a total of 7,205,502 passengers, shey you say no railway then?
During OBJ we paid #6 for a kWh of electricity and shouted up NEPA, but with Tinubu we are paying $209.50 + 0.75 VAT for same kWh of electricity and still shouting up NEPA, with OBJ Aso rock was still on the national grid, but with Tinubu the grid dey collapse like epileptic patient, even Tinubu run leave am go spend #10B on solar
6. ASUU strike, NLC strike, Doctors strike, NUPENG strike every month but all are gone now but yet his era the heaven on earth grin
The highest price of fuel during OBJ time was #65, meaning a minimum wage worker could still afford 1L daily with no serious qualms on his salary, how many minimum wage workers wey fit play that kind rough play now. As for NLC strikes I recommend more RAM, no be aboki RAM oh!! for you. Fuel na premium material currently, so minimum wage worker, no dey play go there now, fuel wey we dey buy anyhow just to take am burn bush then, don become luxury.

7. Rewards for teachers are in heaven bcs they were the poorest of the poorest....
Refer, to my minimum wage values above, you hear? During OBJ even teachers dey consider ice fish poor man food, same ice fish don turn luxury currently.

8. Yet looting everywhere, There was a popular slogan by PDP boastfulls then that PDP, SHARE THE MONEY.....Every oil boom looted, yet the heaven on earth grin
OBJ created EFCC, With Tinubu na fake government agency wey government budget funds for dey reign now, Trillions spent in refineries that are not working, Trillions spent in subsidy that was removed, dem change am to energy security expenses, Humanitarian ministry scam the country over #44B+, looting na water. APC youth chairman donated cars worth billions of Naira, abeg show me him business, na pity say even Temu Keke dem no share reach you.
9. No single infrastructure, no security, no economic plan or diversification, no good health care, no quality education....
Telecommunications: The GSM revolution na Obj run am
OBJ constructed over t4748KM highways in the country, fact check me, we no dey talk about coastal road of fraud here. Benin - Asaba dualization, Abuja - Lokoja road expansion, na him run them. Na him form The Niger, Delta Development Commission (NDDC) if you know know weytin dem dey do, you fit ask me, no fear or shame you hear?

According to the Association of Resident Doctors in Nigeria (NARD) from 2000 - 2015 an average of 600 - 800 doctors exited the country per year, total exits over that period was < 5000. But in Tinubu first tenure, over 5391 doctors don japa, 2023 alone 3974 doctors run leave Nigeria, abeg you fit tell me why dem dey run leave Nigeria?

10. Idris sing Nigeria Jagajaga, African China sing "Mr President, lead us well", Black face sang " Hard life" yet this mmoffos say heaven on earth grin
Same Idris in his song in 2025 a lyrics directed to Seyi Tinubu:
"Tell your papa country hard, tell your papa people dey die... this one don pass jagaga"

During OBJ's time citizen dey hopeful, and they think of weytin government go fit do for them, but currently it is all man for himself, government no longer give a bleep about her citizens existence.
11. Black people are the most ingrate i have ever seen......They are quick to forget their oppressors and would give them opportunity to oppress them over and over again....
See how you describe yourself in a perfect manner, kudos say you no deny your true nature.
12. By now, Obasanjo, Atiku, GEJ should all be behind the bars or have been summarily executed if it is in China but Nigerians keep praising them.
You deserve your kinds of leaders cry
I'm in strong support, none of them were saints just like Tinubu and his current APC government abi no be so? But OBJ, GEJ, defended the naira, paid subsidy, yet borrowed less. unlike the current government who did none of that, yet borrowed more, and still taxing us, with almost nothing to show for it.

With OBJ, our legislators, and judiciary were very active and truly independent, not the Akpabio senate on your mandate we stand. The Abuja master plan of today was initiated by OBJ, not the Wike "I'm not a fool sir" era.

This was your comment in May 2015

I want to recommend that we always disallow our politician 4 second term in office cos it has always come out to be fraud.Sacking oga jona is a good omen 4 dis country,suddenly jona gets liver to perform his statutory roles as president in cealing off d country's leaking avenues....Well done NIGERIANS

Politics › Re: Electricity: What Band Is Your Area In? by Jakarta: 6:18pm On Nov 06
Banding/Tiering customers is a good initiative by the government I must say, unfortunately the lazy, incompetent, and inefficient DisCos are exploiting it at the detriment of Nigerians.

Normally customers on Band A are supposed to enjoy at least 20 hours of electricity daily, because they are paying cost reflective tarriffs. But customers on Band B - E are supposed to receive lower time frame of electricity, because the government asked Discos not to collect above certain price (#40 for Band E) from these customers, the government agreed to pay the balance to Discos.

But somehow the government is defaulting and arguing with Discos because Discos, can't reliably prove the true figures of electricity they supplied to those Bands (B - E). Given normal circumstances I expected Discos to focus more on Band A and spoil them with electricity, which will make it more tempting for other bands ( B - E) to switch to Band A, given the fact that even at cost reflective tarriffs, electricity is still cheaper than Petrol, and Diesel.

But Instead Discos sees it as a perfect opportunity to steal from all bands and still cry foul that government is forcing price on them, despite not providing the service that people paid for. Below is the end result

Band A: Paying true cost reflective tarriffs, but don't receive cost reflective service, due to the inefficiencies of Discos, and Gencos.

Band B - E: Not paying cost reflective tarriffs as such don't receive cost reflective service. Full community dey shout up NEPA, for light wey go last at most 1 hour a day.

Government: The figures Discos are giving us as what we owe them is not correct, although we agree we are owing them, but na debt we owe no be person we kill, we go pay dem small, small.

Discos: Band A users una sorry oh!! we no go fit give una cost reflective service, because una no many reach, even though you all paid well for it. And for those of una wey dey other bands, we no go fit give una cost reflective service, because you did not pay well for it.

If the government can suspend subsidy on electricity for at least a year, it will expose the inefficiencies of Discos, who want to reap from where they did not sow. I believe nairalanda1 go don dey yarn opata by now.

FSBoperator:
The system is already installed and we are maxing it by charging it with our installed panels without draining it.

We installed smart inverter system that cuts the charging when the battery reaches full capacity.

This was recommended by the manufacturer to increase battery energy density and thumb print on the batteries a slow discharge rate while maintaining fast efficient charging.

And let me tell you I am into broad consultancy and one of the reasons I check in here regularly is to carry out social anthropological responses based on ethnic considerations.

I will make you know that I have been instrumental on denying your SE FDI based on the mentality I have observed here from your people .
Shallow of you I must say, you seem to be confusing charging a battery with proving an energy solution. Keeping batteries fully charged without putting them under load proves absolutely nothing about whether they can sustain a 40 room hotel. You're yet to demonstrate what you're so loudly celebrating.

And this sudden ethnic angle and your claims about denying FDI are quite amusing, and childish I must be honest. When did an argument about the economics of solar electricity become an opportunity to boast about your supposed influence and threaten people based on their ethnicity?

You haven't even opened the hotel, yet you're talking about putting competitors out of business. Perhaps get the hotel running first before declaring yourself the next disruptor of Nigeria's hospitality industry using solar.

What you are doing right now, is considerably more boasting than evidence. Let's see the business work before we start celebrating its success. That was how your government and minister of works Mr Dave Umahi, hyped coastal road, carelessly throwing figures, telling us how much each KM will cost, and defending the cost, when reality dawned on them how far so far?
