■ I cannot be ruled by a criminal.

Is that you dreaming or what? Snap out of it .... your president is a criminal and this criminal is playing on your minds the same scam that IBB played on the minds of Nigerians back in the 80s/90s when he lied to Nigerians that SAP/IMF was to blame for all of the suffering caused by his ravenous looting of the Nigerian treasury!

It is time to begin using your heads, which of the following reforms, can you blame for all of the looting/pillaging, insecurity, economic devastation, and wastefulness that is this administration and the one before it?

PS. These are some of the same SAP reforms that were presented to Nigeria back in the 80s, the ones IBB lied that he was busy implementing.

Buzzrants:
■ World Bank’s Track Record: Several voices, such as ActionAid Nigeria and Niger Delta activists, have condemned the World Bank for pushing policies that have historically failed to deliver tangible benefits. ActionAid pointed to Nigeria’s Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) of the 1980s as a prime example of the destructive effects of World Bank-endorsed reforms, which crippled industries and increased poverty.

1. But IBB never in fact implemented the SAP/IMF reforms... we know this now because records show that none of the reforms were put in place at the time that IBB was in government. So, how can we claim to know that World Bank reforms don't work based on a period and time in Nigeria's history when evidence is clear that Nigerians were instead scammed by IBB who looted its treasury all while telling the people to blame it all on SAP?

vanbonattel:
They selected world Bank to be their president Una go suffer tire

Your President is Tinubu, why is the World Bank to blame for his corruption regime that has accomplished next to nothing in the last 18 months other than to steal, plunder, and further mismanage Nigeria's resources?

■ He already declared that marriage is between man and a woman, we see in Romans 1:26-27 that homosexuality is a perversion of God's natural order, so also in God's law in the nation of Israel in the book of Leviticus 18:22 He calls it an abomination, Paul emphasized that those who practice such are not saved when writing to the Church which some of them were before they were saved and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
■ Do you know what sin is? Jesus never said kidnapping is a sin, so should I go ahead and kidnap someone? Come on, the issue of homosexuality and sexual perversion is glaring in scriptures that it is a defiance against the commandments of God.

See... this is exactly how you Christians like to lie against Jesus Christ. You look for every other argument in Scripture so you can avoid the actual WORDS of Jesus Christ Himself.

► What has marriage to do with homosexuality now?
► Let me guess, Eunuchs—other than the married, it is the Eunuchs that are blessed in the Kingdom of God according to Jesus Christ — are not of this natural order of your God?
► What have Romans and Leviticus to do with that recorded only in the Gospels(God's Law) as the Everlasting — Unchanging Word — of Jesus Christ, God's Law in the Kingdom of God?
► When did Paul become a substitute for Jesus Christ??

This is the Christian tactic.... to derail and confuse when caused to consider the very Truth of God as declared by Jesus Christ

2. Ooooohhh!! So, even though Jesus Christ is God's Law— Truth in the Kingdom of God—by which sin is defined in the Kingdom of God, you feel that Jesus Christ is inadequate as a law when it comes to the definition of sin in the Kingdom of God —which he is king of by the way— because such ideas as kidnapping, homosexuality, etc., were not listed as sins by Him, Jesus Christ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You can't help but reveal every time you speak of how much you really don't rate Jesus Christ, can you?

■ With devaluation of the Naira export is more profitable

Wetin una dey produce locally wey una dey export? Many local companies complain of high cost of production so how can they compete as it is?

GreatAchiever1:
■ Christians don't explicitly condemn the homosexuals but tell them they are in sin and call them to repent of their sins and believe the Gospel else they face God's deserved wrath.
■ Besides Jesus did say sexual immorality is a sin so please remind me again under which category homosexuals fall into? And this was seriously emphasized in the Pauline epistles so very clearly.

First of all, stop lying! Christians are notorious for witch-hunting homosexuals, prostitutes, alcoholics, and traditional worshippers aka idol-worshippers. Second, there is no record in the entire Gospels of Jesus Christ Himself proclaiming homosexuality or prostitution or drug abuse or idol-worshipping or alcoholism, etc., as a sin, so when you Christians— and other religious entities — go about using the name of Jesus Christ for their various witchhunt against homosexuality or prostitution or drug abuse or idol-worshipping or alcoholism, etc., you do so against Jesus Christ and His Kingdom of God— AntiChrist.

2. Now you are attempting to add words into the mouth of Jesus Christ. Immorality — Sin— as explained in the Gospels of Jesus Christ is clearly defined by Him, and He never said it included homosexuality which is never mentioned in all of the Gospels.

Blazetrailer:
It has been confirmed again and again, Naira was devalued and not floated.

OK! I read that the exercise was to merge all Fx Windows into one, but that has yet to happen since the CBN itself runs at least one more Windows for select businesses. If we say it is to give the IMF back its money as the other whom you agreed with had suggested, I don't think that can happen with the economy the way it is. So, what was the exercise intended for?

Sirianese:
■ Osinbajo lacks integrity himself. He's just using the RCCG to cover up his evil acts

Does RCCG have any form of integrity, to begin with?

Kay17:
■ Everything is tied to how much the government committed to FX and petrol subsidies. You cannot spend so much on those items without severe consequences. It was mega financial mismanagement to have done so.
■ Nigeria suffers from a systemic problem where the government is cash strapped to help its people without a disaster ahead when the treasury is empty.

Why is the government spending so much on projects it led the Nigerian public to believe it had removed?

Cash-strapped to help its people? The same government that purchased two Air crafts, spent billions to refurb existing facilities that needed no refurbing, purchased a yacht, etc., while it pretends to send ghost rice to the people whenever they cry out?

Blazetrailer:
Told people this more than a year back(around August 2023), then bag of rice was just about 48k. It is now double and it is getting worse. They dont know the damage he has done ti the econonmy yet.
Get out now if and when you can

Let me ask you this. How does the government go about Un-floating the naira?

Here's another question, why do you believe the idea that your government floated the Naira to give the IMF back its money? Is Nigeria not supposed to rightly pay back debts or something?

Oloriburuku Oloshi fake Pastor Judas, Ogun kee your Mama for wasting 8 years doing nothing but collecting salary and commissions

sulaak:
■ Where was his integrity when he promoted trader Moni? Where was his integrity when Buhari was abusing the law and printing over 30 billion Naira as Ways and Means? A useless man now cries when he has been discarded.
Osinbajo was vice president for eight years and witnessed the abuse of Nigeria. Tinubu might be a crook, but Osinbajo is not any better.

Just imagine how these wicked beings dey openly insult the intelligence of Nigerians every time they open their mouths to speak. This is the same man who served as Attorney general of Lagos during the 8 years Tinubu was governor, validating his raid of Lagos. Imagine!

TheRareGem1:
■ ....

This from a man who sat for 8 years as vice president in a very opaque administration that saw to the further devastation of the lives of 10s of millions of Nigerians? If every one dey talk of integrity, this man and anyone associated with his time in office no suppose mention that word at all.

004gist:
■ Nigerians vote a nonsense leader who inflict pain then turn around to accuse traders n now farmers...

Welcome to Nigeria where almost 100% of the population are Nigerians and reason as such. 😂😂😂😂😂

SmartPolician:
■ The truth is that fuel subsidy removal will NEVER have any direct positive effects on Nigerians. Floating the naira is even worse. The only thing fuel subsidy removal saved Nigeria was borrowing less to keep it running.
■ Again, this bad economic condition has become our reality and things will even get worse if the government doesn't produce more locally, export and earn USD.

Which fuel subsidy removal for Pete's sake? NNPCL, which has supposedly been privatized is still deciding the cost of fuel for Nigerians. According to reports, it owes $6 Billion dollars so far in subsidy paid, and there is no evidence that any money has been saved in all of this meaning the subsidy has not been removed. Can we at least please stop confusing ourselves?

2. Does this look to you like a government serious about doing anything for the sake of the people? When and where does this mumu-nity go end abeg?

■ I don't know about that. Don't make it sound like every family in Nigeria has ten kids.
■ How much did Obasanjo spend schooling

Number of kids has absolutely nothing to do with this. There are people out there with just one kid who can easily be considered to have taken on more than they could handle. It is really simple!
► It would not make sense for a single person who can't even make ends meet to decide that the next best thing to do would be to marry an unemployed liability and then have a kid... right?
► It also would not make sense for an unemployed woman to marry a man who can barely fend for himself and then have a child after that... right?

2. Many of the private universities you see today were established during that time. Also, many of the salaries owed by the FG to schools from the military years were settled during that time. There was equally a huge push to privatize all state-owned companies to free up funds for many other projects --- offload much of government bloat to free up money for other projects that were needed.

illicit:
■ Maybe Obj was right because u benefited
■ That was when I dropped out of senior sec school cos no waec money until...

🙄 I didn't benefit a single thing but the Nigerian people and their economy benefitted greatly from the reforms he implemented and sustained for that period. This is a fact of Nigerian history.

2. You dropped out of school because your parents took on more than they could handle and not because the Nigerian economy was not working at that time. Please stop trying to confuse one thing with something entirely unrelated.

Shevchenkko:
■ You're wrong. Educated people think of the consequences of their actions. I believe you're educated and such should never have advocated or supported a criminal drug lord to be your president.

That depends on how you choose to define the term "educated". Many of those you have today in politics can claim to have been educated as well... we have lawyers in this current set all of them without a conscience.

illicit:
■ There is one wrong or right candidate. The future of Nigeria has been what it is even before I was born

Stop lying!🙄🙄🙄

During the second term of Obasanjo, Nigeria for a brief 4 years changed trajectories. There was that brief period that we could finally get it right if we stuck to doing it correctly. Nigeria had the right candidate for that brief moment until it was again returned to the hands of the wrong candidates.

AdvocateWriter:
Why is Reno defending this failed government

When you say bad policy, you mean the wastefulness, corruption, looting of Nigeria's resources, and the meaningless sharing of ghost rice all over the place, etc., right?

Resurrection212:
It well. I will not say anything but I will call someone tomorrow and find out.

Much appreciated... it would be so nice to get to the truth of what happened here. The funny thing is he did not even show the laptop — assuming he got one later on — in the second video he made which leads me to believe he was probably paid off instead. 😏
So, please do all you can to get information on whether all these people in fact got laptops or whether the young man was paid to shut him up. 😁

Roger3D:
■ Obassanjo didn't 'fully' implement any of these reforms.
■ Also who told you it was the same thing IBB tried selling in 1986?
■ We don't don't need these World bank /IMF reforms. We need to get rid of wastage, corruption and mismanagement.
■ Which developing country has ever implemented their reforms and has succeeded in turning around the fortunes of it's people? NONE

1. Obasanjo did in fact begin full implementation of what he called his NEEDS program from as far back as 2003. https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/scr/2005/cr05433.pdf
There is also the progress report that was submitted in 2007 to indicate how far the administration had gotten and much of this can be verified by the facts on the ground at the time in Nigeria. https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/scr/2007/cr07270.pdf

2. There is an assessment report of the IBB SAP implementation that was produced back in 1997. that explains a lot of the pullbacks we witnessed from many of the commitments made by IBB during that time. https://www.elibrary.imf.org/display/book/9781557756305/9781557756305.xml

3. How far have you then been able to rid yourself of wastage, corruption, and mismanagement without a clear plan in over 60 years?

4. Ignorance is not bliss! Nigeria is one example of a developing country that did it successfully! As I said before, Nigeria successfully implemented and sustained implementation for about 4 years during Obasanjo's time in government.

Resurrection212:
Go to Twitter tag Sahara reporter and punch.

Nevermind! It seems the guy that made the original video has been contacted and compensated. He made another video saying he was misinformed. I no dey live for Kwara but I wish someone in Kwara state— not a political nutjob — could help us confirm that the people did receive the laptops they were promised.

The representative of Kwara State no be part of the government of Kwara state? Nonsense! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I can't believe that lola ashiru can be this stupid.

You know her? How does one get this kain news to go viral abeg? Make Nigerians for Kwara State see am and know say they have a liar as a senator.

Jokerman:
■ What about the subsidy monies?? Can't they channel it to salaries?

They were supposed to but guess what... 18 months on, we are still struggling to remove subsidy money so it can be channeled elsewhere including into paying of salaries. What do you expect the country to do in the meantime? Not pay Salaries until it finally decides it will in fact remove salaries? Will you be happier with that?

Easybet1:
■ since they removed it, what better thing have you seen they did?
■ Samething with the petrol subsidy. All end up in their pockets leaving the masses to suffer for nothing

Who told you they removed it though? This year alone, I can confirm that from 2 reports I read in the past, the CBN spent over $1.2 Billion on propping up the Naira alone. And the value you see today is still being propped up by the way.

2. If the Petrol Subsidy has been removed, why is NNPC telling you that it now owes $6 billion that you will still have to pay? Why is NNPCL still working on deciding the price for you all? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

The scam these thieves have been running against you all, una never even begin to understand at all.
