What he said is the truth. Every action has consequences. If you vote in an 80+ years, inept old man who only knows how to grab power and run, your children will suffer the consequences. As a Yoruba guy, I'm very ashamed of some Yoruba youths.
This is how people get into stuff they later regret. That girl is a real narcissist. She emotionally manipulated you. Now she's going to double-date for real.
franchasofficia: Nigerians should pray Tinubu doesn't win 2027 Presidential election, because if Tinubu mistakenly wins 2027 Presidential election, crime rate will go over the roof, hookup will become a side hustle for virtually every Nigerian, including the old and the young, single and married because the economy will become so shattered, many Nigerians will struggle to feed just once a day
Anuoluwa12345: Good evening, pls I need help on something I don't even know how to put it well, but I will try my best to explain a little..and I seek sincere advice from matured and experienced ppl on the forum.
I am a type that when I love ppl, I love them wholeheartedly..to the extent that I will give in all my best to them.. be it family members or non. When I tell you I gat your back, then I truly mean it. But the problem now is, when these ppl hurt me. I don't know how to handle it, I don't even know if I will call it unforgiving spirit or maybe cause I remember things alot, I will surely not forget.
It's not as if I won't forgive them o, I will but, to make that relationship between me and that person smooth back.. it's not possible.. the distance will always be there.. tho before I get angry or pick offence it takes long, but once it happens like this! I know I have lost relationship with that soul.
Some of my relatives (extended fam) offended me, and since about 3 yrs now, these ppl have been sending different ppl just to beg me and talk to me etc.. in order to make things back, but it's just not working!. Cuz I know myself.
And I am a type that, once I vex, I don't look back..even if the person has done a lot of things etc.. I have tried my best but it's just not working. And I understand the fact that there is no how there won't be argument among humans, it's not possible.
My greatest fear now is, what if I marry, is this how It will be towards my husband, someone I claim I love? Pls how do I tackle this problem before I reach that stage, pls I need sincere word of wisdom from elders, else why I come to a faceless forum to pour out my mind.
Just learn vibe coding and be very good at it. Then once you can build and deploy a real app, launch something unique that solves a problem you've faced. AI is coming for 85% of run-of-the-mill tech jobs. But it's also creating new opportunities.
Klington: You will not see those lowlifes here. They're at peace with the fulani terrorists.
Most of these ones are attention farmers and content creators. Twitter is paying them to be contrarian. Enter street to see what day-to-day people are saying. Without rigging, am sure Tinubu would not get up to 30% of Yoruba votes. That's how much he has messed up.
Everyone knows that APC has no candidate in Oyo state. Is it Teslim, Adelabu or Sarafa that will unseat the incumbent? Those ones will even find It tough to win their polling units. It will be a walk in the park for Adekanbi.
doncartel: Tinubu’s plan is to borrow and steal 1 quadrillion naira (1Q) for his family. But no worries. Obi will clear the debt and also bring jobs, infrastructure and prosperity from 2027.
Spoken like a true novice. Anyone that takes over from Tinubu literally has a mountain to climb. Massive debt, bad policies, insecurity, nepotistic appointments, massive fraud tracing. They literally might not be able to achieve anything in year one and two.
dettolgel: In your statement you said he paid what was left after a portion of the debt was forgiven, and then you turned around to say "he didn't pay it off the way you mean it". I am curious to understand what other meaning one could deduce from the fact that we had debt and it was paid off.
sreamsense: Baba Iyabo is using style to campaign for Obi/Kwankwaso he had meetings with before and advised to form coalition together. Now, Obi and kwankwaso are together. He wants to use tactics to discourage people about Tinubu so they can vote for Obi. Unfortunately, Obi and kwankwaso can not sell for 2027, they may just be Andrew-liver salt again.
He borrows and he is always aware of paying back like he did before. At least, people see the infrastructures across the country he build with the money. There are some infrastructures you can do without borrowing money for even if you have the money as his economic team already explained in one of their previous engagement with public on issue of borrowing
DrTee1: This analysis moves beyond the immediate performance of any single administration to examine the structural and historical bottlenecks that have constrained governance in Nigeria for decades. This perspective suggests that the issues are not merely about who is in the State House, but about the fundamental design of the Nigerian state.
1. The Constitutional Mandate for Inefficiency The argument regarding the bloated cost of governance often overlooks that the 1999 Constitution effectively mandates a high overhead. Section 147(3), requiring a minister from every state, ensures a large cabinet regardless of economic necessity. This Federal Character principle, intended to ensure inclusivity after the civil war, has evolved into a system where the government acts as the nation’s primary employer. Consequently, every administration finds itself trapped in a structure where political stability is frequently bought through patronage.
2. The Rent Seeking Trap and Resource Curse The sharing money economics mentioned in your feedback is the result of a rentier state model. Since the 1970s, Nigeria’s revenue has been tied to international oil prices, which are variables completely outside of local control. When prices are high, the state funds subsidies and consumption; when they crash, as seen during the COVID-19 era and subsequent global shifts, the state is forced to borrow just to maintain basic functions. This cycle makes long term planning nearly impossible, as the budget is always a hostage to global volatility.
3. The Subsidy Paradox and Infrastructure The debate over refineries and subsidies highlights a deeper problem: the trust deficit between the people and the state. Because Nigerians have historically seen so little return from their government in terms of healthcare or education, the fuel subsidy became the only tangible benefit of being an oil producing nation. Removing it creates immediate hardship. While infrastructure like the new concrete highways aims to lower long term logistical costs, such as the 15,000 Naira transport fee for livestock, the immediate inflationary pressure often erodes public patience before the benefits can manifest.
4. Subnational Accountability and Federalism A significant flaw in the national discourse is the President centric view of failure. In a federation, the 36 states and 774 local governments receive a substantial portion of the federation account; however, accountability at the subnational level is often non existent. When states fail to generate internal revenue or invest in rural roads that would help that goat businessman, the blame is centralized at the presidency. This creates a lopsided democracy where the center is expected to fix everything while the parts operate with minimal scrutiny.
5. The Erosion of the Social Contract Voter apathy is perhaps the most dangerous legacy of the last twenty five years. When successive governments, regardless of party, ride into power on promises of change only to be met by the same structural walls of debt and low revenue, the citizen begins to see the ballot as a futile exercise. This is a systemic failure to deliver a version of democracy that improves the bottom line for the average Nigerian.
Ultimately, the crisis of governance in Nigeria appears to be a clash between a 20th century political structure and 21st century economic realities. The constitutional requirement for a bloated cabinet leads to high recurrent expenditure and low capital investment. The volatile nature of oil revenue combined with high consumption patterns necessitates painful borrowing during price dips. Long term subsidy regimes have led to refinery failure, massive foreign exchange leakage, and energy insecurity.
Until the underlying sharing model is replaced by a productive model, the results of governance may continue to feel frustratingly similar across different administrations.
neyop85: When someone like Obasanjo speaks you will know he is hurting with jealousy and hatred. This same Obasanjo ruined our power sector, 20 billion dollars was pumped into the sector without a single success story. Lagos-Ibadan expressway was left in complete comatose, railway was a mess, no single legacy project from this old man. During his time, crude oil was sold above 100 dollars per barrel and yet no single legacy project. Today, look at projects such as Lagos-calabar coastal road, Sokoto-Badagry expressway, student loans, free tuition and stipend for technical students nation wide, Muritalah Muhammed Airport complete remodelling and rehabilitation after decades of neglect, every geopolitical zone currently has major project ongoing. Yet, Obasanjo who had massive oil windfall couldn't even rehabilitate Lagos-Ibadan expressway (an exisiting major road). This man has no moral justification to critic Tinubu who is building roads from scratch. Obasanjo's regime wasn't disturbed with insecurity, not because he was excellent as a leader but because Gadaffi was in power in Libya and thus the sahel wasn't destabilized. Despite that, despite the security stability, he achieved nothing. By the time Tinubu is done, his successes will further destroy Obasanjo and label him a crook and thief for all to see.
Speaking out of your ... Do you even know what $20 billion is? The actual investment in power plants was $8 billion and the results were there until subsequent governments came in. Wasn't NEPA privatised in 2013 by Jonathan and because of minimal government oversight, the outfit was totally mismanaged? Who told you Obasanjo's regime wasn't disturbed with insecurity? Wasn't Boko Haram already functional when he was president? Didn't he meet with their leader and kept him in his place? Do you even know the might of Nigeria's military at the time or why they used to call Nigeria giant of Africa then? Why was he the one sending troops to Liberia and Sierra Leone, even Kenya and Uganda while Gaddafi was alive?
Nigeria had over 70 billion dollars in excess crude and foreign reserves when he left. He lobbied debt forgiveness and reduced Nigeria's debt from $36 billion (1999) to around $3 billion (when he left) before the wolves came in. You're talking gibberish.
anonimi: How much responsibility does Obasanjo have for Tinubu’s emergence as president after Buhari who he endorsed in 2015 to end 16 years of PDP prosperity that was driven by Atiku’s business acumen in deregulation and privatisation policies?
Widespread prosperity with cheap petrol, low debt, low unemployment, low insecurity, better life etc!
Can anyone imagine how much progress we would have made if Obasanjo didn’t fail in his 3rd term agenda to be life president, before using Iwuruwuru INEC to make dying Yar’Adua president in 2007?
Yar’Adua who promptly reversed his policies of privatising NNPC refineries, partial subsidy removal and cancellation of Obasanjo’s legacy projects like the 2nd Niger bridge.
If he had supported Atiku then, maybe there would have been continuation and the country would not have fallen into the hand of wolves. He tried while he was president. Nigeria was respected across the world and embezzlement of funds was kept minimal. But he miscalculated at the end. So he too has a hand in the current situation.
dapadawee: MUMU you went to another man country saw a stranger for the first time and decided to take her to a park or take her to Cameron. Kirikiri self they there country. Why don't you mention the name of a correctional center in Cameron. And pronounce there own aahawo. Someone came to report a crime to you and next thing is to take laws into your hands or take her to cameroun
She should have taken her to your father's house. She saw a 17-year old girl in trouble but she should have left her there. That's one reason I don't listen to sob stories or try to go out of my way to help anyone who isn't family. Because the average black is always conniving.
