God bless you, my sister.

The other day I read that South Africa is the Rape Capital of the world, with 500,000 incidents of rape per annum.

On further research I discovered that it was a big issue within the country. Women have carried placards in public protests etc. Big issue. Johannesburg is also the carjacking and robbery capital of the word according to some reports.

But I never saw any South Africans on Twitter or Facebook saying ''Don't go to South Africa o! They will rape you there o! They will rob you and shoot you there o!''

If that ''500,000'' rape statistic was Nigeria's, by now the ENTIRE WORLD would see the average Nigerian as a rapist, because NIGERIANS, would use their own mouths to broadcast to the whole world that ''They are all rapists o! Don't go there o! They will rape you there o!''

And then when the world meets your child hustling in the future, and he wants to conduct business with them, and tells them he's Nigerian, they'll shun him as a rapist.

Mumu people. No sense.

Your comment and those who share your mimdset lack indepth reasoning,
You cant demarket a rotten tomato cos people can see for themselves
if people are not buying the rotten tomato it is not because of bad mouth around, people can see

It didnt occur to the SA lady the reason she had a safe n happy stay in Nigeria was because those warnings she heard were are true guide, she must have being cautious

yoruboid:
He does this virtually all the time and he doesn’t even live in that house anymore

Tinubu has been the biggest giver since forever and it’s not just about food but scholarships, medical bills and business grants constitute part of his giving

Biggest giver compared to what he as taken and still taken from Lagos alone ... juxtapose

wellmax:
Obi better stop the cho cho cho Cho. Any tragedy he’s quick to jump. Seeking to remain relevant. FG should just ignore him

weyrey, we all should keep quiet and watch Tinubu land us in early grave abi

if you enter aboki bike, as he dey over speed he dey carry you pass between trailers ... you go dey shine teeth for back abi

IgboSomalia:
The Agulu Antichrist won't hear.

For 2013 you posted, add 3 more stampede headlines and make sense

Some of you are just unbelievable, so because stampede happened in 2013 it justifies 4 stampede under one year becos of rice.

richmond500:
Most politicians that are in opposition are like that, they don't know when to cut the line.
Always quick to politicize tragedy.

It's not limited to Obi, Atiku used to do it, APC did it.

Being in the ruling party does not mean you must "Oppose " the truth,

WHatever justification of brain gymnastic APc nd the loyalist are trying so hard to come up with at these time makes no sense

We can talk about four stampede in a year, proffer solution and not talk about the root cause, in history of Nigeria can Apc tell us when people ever died cos of Rice/food

i listened to Tinubu media chat and i challenge anyone to point to the minute Tpain showed empathy or emotional intelligence, just arrogance and over confident on top zero in report card

dec 2023 long grain rice was around 40k compared to 2024 160k for rice ... look at the economy why wont we have a stampede ??

Talking about Nigeria predicament without involving the govt is like practicing xtainity without bible.

No management control can hold back a hungry population, Please Nigerians look after yourselves.
A man that can watch his friend that own 5 rolls royce demote to honda ... wont feel a thing see strangers eat from the dust bin

A govt that as resulted to self appraisal, Tinubu is trying to over shadow the cry of the people, naa you write exam naa you still wan mark am yourself

Sonnobax15:

Money wey Dem go use take pay the 25 local govt chairmen for Delta state for two years+ nai Burna boy dey use buy Ferrari

Truly truly money na water...

If i was tinubu friend that went from rolls royce to an honda i wil block Tinubu papa, e better make i follow burna boy

kettykings:
What aan achievement of a most unfortunate kind.
This encapsulates the harsh reality of negative growth, stagnation, and outright retrogression in one breath.

For context and comparison, during Obasanjo's administration, Nigeria witnessed unparalleled economic strides: billionaires emerged in record numbers, the telecommunications sector experienced unprecedented growth, and the banking industry soared to the world stage to become one of the fastest-growing in the world. Fast forward to the current APC-led regime, and the narrative has changed dramatically.


A lot of people then moved from Honda to rolls royce and from commercial flights to private jets.

We now find ourselves in an era where survival trumps progress. The socio-economic landscape paints a grim picture: individuals once driving rolls royce cars now trading them for Honda,

Honda owners relinquish their vehicles for tricycles, tricycle owners trade down to motorcycles, and those on motorcycles abandon them to join the ranks of those trekking. This chain of devaluation mirrors a larger systemic collapse, a regression from ambition to subsistence.

The more you try to understand that statement the more insensible it becomes

His friend went from 5 rolls royces to an honda, how is that a source of pride in any context

Can the friend even hear that and be happy, it just a clear indication Tinubu lacks emotional intelligence, empathy and highly insensitive

helinues:
Reality dawning . His Excellency actually answered most of the questions with humor

Shop at mart instead of mall

Annoyingly, those who are privilege hardly patronize road side sellers. They keep on giving their money to the capitalist . Buying fresh fruits at road side compared to mall or mart is almost 10% difference

Lately, I have been deliberately buying some things at the road side just to boost the economy

At the every moment Tinubu made that statement i finalize Tinubu is a wicked soul ...

Your friend has 5 rolls royce and you could watch him to the point he demotes to an honda, oju tii ore mii oju o tii mii .. that person no get shame nii

Lets even analyse it, did tsuanmi take away the 5 rolls royce or 1k per litre be the problem
the money to buy 5 rolls royce must have come from a huge investment, the business must have liquidated or folded up

Since the inception of Tpain govt, so many businesses have folded up, is Tinubu taking credit for his friend's misfortune

If Tinubu friend can suffer misfortune and more people are at the verge of downgrading to honda how does it boost the economy.

if i have one rolls royce, definitely i will have a company & staffs, coming down to honda means those my staffs are demoted to okada or bicycle riders, is that a boost to the economy or employment

pocohantas:
This is why the rich should marry the rich.
You can't make money only to start dealing with a human who cries like a bushbaby over something as organic as a vacation or owning a car.

just when you thought you have heard the last joke of the year, 🤣🤣🤣🤣

how many vacation you go as a child, how many times dem use car go drop you for school ... organic lenu è 🤣

sha dont kill our daddy

citygarden:
This is now looking like a joke to me. Did the police arrest the organiser of the Abuja and Anambra stampede? If police want us to take them serious, they should also be arrest. If not they should release these people and pay compensation for the affected families

Custom stampede in Lagos, did they go after anyone or raise any sanction

I keep saying it, Tinubu govt is evil .. these is more like discouraging People from helping, who as time for crowd management classes upon my say i wan help

Urheadmaster:
This is what an avoidable mistakes have caused.


Billionaires in Nigeria should learn from this. that you are billionaire no means say you'll just wake up and organise a free feast without putting up safety measures for the vulnerable persons that'll attend the party.

There's hunger all over the country

Can you guyz just shut the fvck up, does these crowd management thing not stink to you guyz ear,

if standard of living was good, why will peoples father and mother go n be fighting over 5kg of rice,

People propagating crowd management are more or less teaching Nigerians to adapt and embrace hardship and waiting for handouts

We are a population of over 200m, about 80% are living below poverty line so how many rice or stuffs sharing can allievate the problem on ground, why cant we hold the govt accountable to creat an atmosphere @least half the population can take good care of themselves

Why must we allow them turn us to almajiri and some educated fellows are already brainstorming safety to live like beggars. give us our purchasing power back that all

Artscollection:
What did you see in him that made you campaign for him because anyone that is expecting anything from that guy is not smart.

You could have just tell, i am not smart instead of wasting saliva

Why?

1) Some felt he was too arrogant to talk to Nigerians but he did

2) Some Nigerians believe he cannot talk without balabluing but he did.

3) Some Nigerians felt he isn't in charge of the running of the country but this showed that he knows the policies he's implementing.

4) The fact that he invited even so called opposition media such as Abati of Arise impressed me

5) He even challenged the journalists to mention any non performing minister and they all kept mute meaning most of his critics arent bold to say it to his face.

Being a strong critic of Tilumbu I must admit he scored some good points by doing this.

1. He did Just to prove the people right, another show of arrogance

2. Nigerians also believe Tinubu cant take responsibility or admit any wrong ... which he affirmed

3. A leader who feel four stampede across the nation is a consequence of crowd management and not hardship clearly is not in terms with reality


4 The fact that the media chat was pre recorded and bear no form of altercation or back n forth invalidate any positive remark, at the point Tinubu asked which of his minister is not adding value and a whole Abati could not mention one ... that one naa free chat.

For the main fact i campaigned, mobilized and voted for Tinubu, these is totally disappointing.

Listen to Tinubu speech at ojota 2011, and criticism of other govt you will see he is on a self contradictory path. big shame to Tinubu

pharmagba:
9.5

Show these to family members you are not feedding and let them rain the curses you deserve upon your life.

These one are just looking for scrums from tinubu kitchen, atenu group

The truth is you can't exonerate Tinubu govt from the present mess and excruciating hardship Nigerian are facing at these time

During the media chat, Tinubu boasted he as being sharing things for over 25yrs n No stampede, I challenge Tinubu to announce he wants to share food at bourdillion now and let see, this man is just refusing to reckon with reality of Nigerians,

Tinubu is just living in denial which is tantamount to foolishness, you cant downplay the population increase below poverty line, before it is mostly aged and apc miscreants that come to bourdillion to beg but our reality now almost 90% of Nigerians will beg if they see opportunity

Nigerians must wake up ahead 2027, we owe it to those that have died, Tinubu doesnt get re elected. if he can be these arrogant & insensitive at 1st tenure i cant imagine 2nd half

At that point he said show me one that is not adding value and the journalist with him said nothing ... not even abati

i knew the whole media chat was pre recorded, scripted and controlled.

Asides Tunji ojo, nelson wike .... which minister can be rated 5/10


Tinubu teaching Nigerians to off light, light wey Nepa go bring 2hrs inside 24hrs ... make we still off light join, igba wo la waa fe nii inùr🤣🤣🤣 Tinubu is a bastard, a disgrace to yoruba sophistication

Proudlyngwa:
You posted the attached picture and I said since you don't understand what a budget is, you will complain it was posted twice.

The administration is like a woman I labor, whether the woman, child or both will either die or survive no one knows, but for there to be a birth of something new , there must be labour pain.

if your wife is pregnant and labour pain begins from the onset, are you telling us you will be gladly wait till 9 months before you react.

there are pregnancy even the doctors will recommend "abortion" ... so sit your ignorant ass down

Proudlyngwa:
Thanks Naptu2 for this.

The President was spot on , on a lot of things .
Instead of people to counter with facts, They will start typing rubbish. Not surprised most of them are political Jobbers .

The earlier most people realise Government is not run on emotions, is not a charity organisation... the better for everyone including those in Government.

This administration is like a pregnant woman in Labor, I wish her safe delivery so we can all celebrate, my only regret, I wished this labor had come wayway earlier, as far back as the return to democracy, not when the pregnant woman is almost dead.

Once again Thanks and Compliments Naptu2.

Spot on, on what exactly, asides arrogantly justifying is failures and refusing to take responsibility for negative impact his reforms have brought upon Nigerians what else did he do

At what point in the media chat, did Tinubu mention one positive impact relative to his policies

He boasted he hasnt collected money from Nnpc, as he not being collecting loans upon loans, explioting and extorting Nigerians with various taxes and duties hike ... how viable is that

A president that arrogantly demiss "Feedback" claiming i know it ALL, i understand it ALL, no one ask Tinubu to run charity, you can criticize jonathan at ojota, tell Nigerins to manage and you are doing worst

Nigerians please look after yourselves, when a evil man rules ... merry xmas Nigerians

Didijiji:
May God help this man succeed

He sounds very confident

I hope it will be worth the wait

Sounds confident justifying failure, what did he say that is "New" the media chat was a complete waste of time for a president who said he doesnt care about the feedback, what he is doing is the best and nobody can convince him otherwise

The summary of Tinubu message is whoever want to die go n die ... we wont review our policy or our method,

we are broke and we must manage from the side of the people only But govt opulence is necessary take it or leave

its fvcking irritating to watch to an arrogant failure justifying his stupidity, does a Tinubu have the morale standi to preach manage
The president as said it, Nigerians you are OYO, take care of yourselves.

hedonido:
Since tribalism and jaundice wouldn't allow us see clearly. It was always going to be Peter Obi if we really wanted a frugal president that would FINALLY cut this culture of reckless spending and waste. He already has a reputation for this, in both his private and public lives. But we no gree.

if frugal is all Peter obi has to his name then that is not a enough, cutting cost does not mean development or progress
Peter obi is all about "savings" which is not what we need, cos Nigeria is not making enough revenue
Naa money dem dey take find money hence we need a leader that will get our spending priorities right

Angelfrost:
They are trying but I have to admit... They seem really unprepared and appear to be groping around the dark.

I thought the budgetary projection of 2025 would should a drastic cut in government expenditure, but the reverse was the case.

So disappointing that leaders who demand sacrifices from citizens can't do the same.

The annoying part is those nonentities attacking el rufia son that pointed out the stupidity in the recurrent expenditure

You told Nigerians no money and therefore people must sacrifice ... But govt keeps bloating it expenditure

who buys a Tv, fridge, spoon every year ...honestly nigerian politicians need a mental test certification.

lailo:
Adebayo is sound but theory is different from field experience. Ben Murray Bruce talk more than this with his infamous "common sense regular broadcast". The guy flopped with ordinary senator post
Rewane, Ruben Abati, Prof. Pat Utomi and other social commentors have been given opportunity to serve Nigeria. What did they do? Flop. Talk is cheap.
A tested politician is better than one smooth social talker who will end up using the first four years trying to find balance
His kind can't even manage ordinary small bar let alone Nigeria. I will take him serious if he can use all these ideas to turn SDP to a force to recon with in Nigeria political landscape.
Else, I will still rely and trust only on this idea that transformed just a Lagos state AC party to National APC ruling party.

Oga in what capacity ??, even if they wanted to, how will they change or solve Nigeria problem from those positions.

Murray bruce was a senator but thats one man among over 100 senators, what can he possibly do

A Nigerian politician tested or not is bad news, they are worst than vacancy, all they do is sit and think of ways to loot money at the detriment of the people

the Few times Osinbanjo handle the economy in Buhari absences depicted the worst of us are the ones political parties impose on Nigerians. go n check moves osinbanjo made, Tinubu is a disgrace to school cert sef. awon ole

emkz:
When Senator Mitt Romney was attacking Obama over the death of the US Ambassador in Libya, Obama simply told Romney that you do not play politics when human lives are concerned.

The children who died were people's children. They had hopes, they had aspirations, the had dreams, they have not experienced life to the fullest before they were cut short over that incident. We should mourn as a nation. Peter Obi jumped to use the deaths of children for political advantage.

Peter Obi tried to use the death of children for political advantage.

Let that sink in.

I agree with Reno Omokri. Obi could have just expressed his condolences, visited the state government and some of the families. He could have donated to the families as a good gesture and even encouraged his followers to do the same. But using it for political advantage is tragic.

Peter Obi was not a model governor when he led Anambra State. He had no innovative ideas beyond saving money in a bank where he was chairman before he became governor. Recall the parable of the talents where some servants traded with what they were given and returned profits to their master, while one stubbornly buried the money and returned excuses. Of course, the master had lampooned him that he could have put it in the bank to yield interests. Did the money put in Fidelity Bank return profits to Anambra or to Fidelity Bank? Who made more money from the saved money? Peter Obi prides himself as a trader. How did he improve trade in Anambra State? What exactly does Anambra trade? An innovative governor could have turned Nnewi to a manufacturing and fabrication hub for Nigeria.

Peter Obi will not use Nigeria to experiment his backwardness and lack of innovation.

Tinubu govt is just outrightly shameless filled with fools, how do you expect anyone to talk about a problem, proffer solutions But not talk about the root causes ... @least now we know why Tpain keeps compounding the problems.


Reno is a political dog doing his job that we know but who are you assistant dog or co-dog

TimeManager:
Next time, you need to be more cautious and display a level of emotional intelligence. Now, you coming out to say you support the bill. The fact that the bill was before the NASS before bringing it to NEC, should it then be thrown away?. That was a needless show of ego.

-Kiss the truth!

you carry woman go registry before you go show your parent ... asking for there blessing



let people with brain dey comment 1st, keep that in mind

If nara is not falling Natinal grid dey collapse if people are not falling upon stampede Stage sef dey collapse

Nigeria under Tinubu should be tited Things fall apart

edogu:
Some people will still buy in bulk and resale at higher value. Na we dey do ourselves.

e sure die, one person will call home for backup, bring 30 litres gallons, find people to stand in the queue.

there is a thin line between criminality and smart in nigeria space

Ofemannnu:
Take responsibility for you and your governor's ineptitude.It didn't happen in Lagos or the remaining states.
You and Solido should be blamed.

Will you stop defending failure, did rice stampede not begin in Lagos, custom premises things were not even fully worse as these then

For the 1st time we recorded four stampede as across the nation less than 30days and you thats not a national issue,

Was it governors that remove subsidy and float the naira, was it governor that impose strangulating import duties , are the governor the ones hiking taxes and making life a living hell for Nigerians
what power do governors have to revert any of these catalyst or reduce cost of living
Oga shut the fvck up, ebin pa waa began in lagos

PressMyButton:
People that matters are talking, not wailers.
The subsidy fraud just had to go, when FG was paying subsidy and dictating price of fuel, BUA could not enter the market, no reasonable investor would enter a market where govt dictates the prices. Many investors got license but couldn't put their money down. Now, things are changing, competition is dictating prices, more modular refineries are expected next year.
In the forex market, there was a big scam. Central bank sold dollars officially at 450 but people resell it at $800 in the black market. Yet FG was borrowing heavily to continue paying.

Wailers only think about the present and their empty stomach, they are not bothered about the future. I don't take wailers serious.


After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria.

You mean people that can buy 50kg bag of rice at 1m, crate of egg @100k , fuel @ 10k per litre without flinching

You mean people that can relate that there are humans living below 10k per day

Please shut the fvck up, the only thing Nigerians enjoy from the govt as to go cos of few explioting the system But wasteful recurrent expenditure in the budget can continue, fork n knife, new fridge nd car every year.

In almost all developed countries, govt subsidize essentials and there economic is top rated, russia govt subsidize food, is it germany or Uk name it.

You must be kidding, how are things changing ?? deregulation as being on since days of buhari did competition ever drop any Pms in Nigeria by a double digit %

you consider all that #10 , #20 price drop changes .. are you even aware of int'L pms price is low and the moment it goes up, these useless govt we spare not even a seconds to hike price back

Not all Nigerians are foolish or gullible as you think, we know the antecedents we know politicians never mean well for average Nigerians. poverty is the tool to subjugate nd control the masses.

FreeStuffsNG:
Government should immediately impose a temporary ban on gathering like this to save more lives.

Not even during SAP era did we have this kind waste of innocent lives

how is a temporary ban a solution to a festive charity.

Infact govt should cover there face in shame, cos they brought these upon Nigerians, common garri is now for the rich

The solution is for organisers to get mopol or soldiers involve, once a Nigerian see a soldier he/she behaves

aieromon:
Now, this is worrisome. The church has tight and small spaces so I would have expected them to coordinate the distribution in an organised manner.



https://thenationonlineng.net/breaking-10-dead-eight-injured-in-abuja-church-stampede/

you can't coordinate Nigerians without armed soldiers or mopol
there is a video making round of people smuggling nd pushing themselves to enter airplane, (air peace) these are people that paid thousands of naira, you will except them to be enlightened and coordinated But No

someone that came last we want to 1st those he met on queue ... claiming street wise .. soldiers are the solution wipe anybody kobo for head till factory reset

Shoutout to the Yoruba race, and to the producer telling and showcasing our beautiful heritage back to back, even netflix cant stop asking for more

Proudly omoluabi
