This subsidy removal was a masterstroke. Funny it took a civilian through and through to remove it. Something ex-generals didn't have the heart to do.

Here’s the truth.
It actually took a man with far less compassion than President Goodluck Jonathan to do it.
The removal was first introduced by GEJ, but he couldn’t pull it off because he just cannot bear to see people suffer.
On the contrary, Tinubu doesn’t have that compassion.

LeoDeKing:
From the look of things, there may not be any need for presidential election in 2027. Though, there may be formality, Nigeria need not waste her resources.

Of all what Tinubu has done so far, na dis one sweat my belle pass. Individuals now free to generate electricity at industrial scale. In addition to constant electricity in industries, Just imagine the employment this will generate.

Nigerians should never forgive anyone for insulting Tinubu by comparing him with an incompetent crook who couldn't develop a tiny village.

It’s our prayer that whoever becomes President bring the changes that we crave.

While it is too early to judge or criticize him,
I’m sorry but you’re sounding really desperate and s****d in trying to force a candidate who HAS’NT DONE ANYTHING YET on us.

Everything Tinubu has done so far is words and signing papers.

Jarrod Bowen scored a late winner as West Ham beat Fiorentina in a tense Europa Conference League final to lift their first major trophy in 43 years.

It appeared as though extra-time would be needed to separate the English and Italian sides after Giacomo Bonaventura cancelled out Said Benrahma’s second-half penalty.

But Bowen slotted home a dramatic winner in the final minute of normal time following a brilliant Lucas Paqueta through ball to secure West Ham’s first major trophy since 1980.

what happened to female child?

The last name of a female child is still going to change unless she plans to spend the rest of her life alone without a husband.
I think you already know this.

seunmsg:
The part in bold is wrong. Very wrong. Government is not paying subsidy because we import petrol. Government pay subsidy because Nigerians don’t want to buy petrol at market determined price. We want to buy petrol at a price regulated below the cost of production and profit margin of petrol importers and refiners. Let’s understand this and not confuse each other, please.

He said apologize.
It is something you do when you realize that you’re wrong.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
So what difference will it make apologizing? Some people just like making unnecessary noise. Almost 95% of Nigerians were against the removal of the subsidy in 2012 simply because we did not trust the government of the day.

Are you even normal?
So you are saying we now trust this failed APC government for the last 8years and accept that subsidy be removed!

lhordspy:
This is the NLC president Ajaero at work. He was the Electricity Union leader before coming into NLC. He is definitely the one pulling the string of NUEE. Very stubborn man.

I remember during his time at NUEE, he shut down National Grid at will, like it is some sort of his personal toy. The thing is, he doesnt even know who he is joking with this time. By the time Tinubu is done with him. The corrupt petrol marketers sponsoring him, who are hellbent on running this country into ground; wont be able to save him. Even Peter Obi, his eastern brother will pity him.

Anytime a student misbehaved, and bask in its glory, one of my professor back then in school will always say:
"Leave him alone, Let him 'dance'. Pride goes, before a fall. We will all be here to see how it ends"

Shut your mouth!
Do you even know the meaning of democracy!
How can you say the president will deal with an individual exercising his civil right?
Which bush you come from sef!

Gajagojo:
no time for stupid talk. If you don't know the issue just move on
He is not double faced
He never supported Atiku and Atiku never supported him

Imagine the idiot sitting in a PDP meeting after playing a vital role in their biggest rivals victory.
How can you be in a party and not support your Presidential Candidate?
These are the things that causes division in a strong group.
If u find yourself in a union, better pray not to have people like Seyi in your group o.

LegacyB:
The answer your question. What’s the difference between Jonathan, Tinubu or Buhari better look beyond all the political and tribal shenanigans.It should have been taken off 2012. But we all took the wrong approach then. It can be corrected in 2023.

Hello!
We all didn’t take the wrong approach then. Pressure from power drunken politicians forced GEJ to change his initial plans of removing the subsidy.

Ofunaofu:
The "who" here are Nigerians, suffering from the thoughtless pronouncement "subsidy is gone" made by Tinubu right at inauguration ground

The fact that some people do not see it as ‘thoughtless and stupid’, makes me lose hope in this country.

Peppysco:
Don't let your emotions turn you into a slowpoke online. Buhari removed subsidy and not Tinubu. Tinubu is just a casualty of the backlash which he isn't afraid to handle. My advice to you, don't allow your emotions and the anguish of your candidate's defeat in the last election drive you into a mental meltdown, Nigeria will be great again.

Take this your advice. It will help you.

tolue42:
You and who

Him and every sane Nigerian.
Abi u think say na everybody be dummy!

Wordsfrombimpe:
Na who first married

The lucky man or lucky woman wins

Shine your eyes

See who dey give young ladies advice!

How your own dey work out for you!
By now you suppose don get like 3 different marriage proposals to chose from. SMH

With the way single ladies boku.
So you think men enjoy competing for what is already in abundance!
You forget to mention the part where any of your prospective suitors find out you have other partners as option.

Continue to mislead young ladies.

shineeye1:
These are just the white flags(not red) of losing your self governance. In marriage, as a lady, you forfeit your self governance and surrender it to your new boss - the husband. If that seems too difficult to contemplate or comply with, you have no business marrying! Marriage is not a union of two equals. It is an institution of hierarchy in which the husband is the head of organization. He receives all advice but to him belongs the inalienable privilege and prerogative of decisions by which the organization(home) must operate. You hypocrite feminists find it convenient to comply with this natural order in your cooperate or work places because without compliance your salaries are gone but when you get home , you bloody hypocrite cannot follow same routine because God is your mate and His orders are not for you since it does not guarantee your salary. Hypocrites!!!

So apt 👌
Ironically, the best advice is the last comment

OChimex:
You don’t understand. My guys here work and their wives stays at home and make most of the financial decisions.
She stays at home, run your home and your kids, she gives you a lot too. And service you in the other room.
That she doesn’t contribute financially doesn’t mean, she doesn’t contribute.
Running a home is more complicated than making money, at least here. If you doubt, work full time and employ people to run your home and your kids you go understand d the cost.
Listen dude, that a woman doesn’t contribute money doesn’t me she doesn’t contribute as much as you do or even more,

I get that.
It makes sense over there in the States where making money is not as tasking as running house chores like you pointed out.
But with my orientation and mentality, I’d rather have a wife committed to making money than the one staying full time at home
because her contribution wouldn’t count as much to me.

OChimex:
Whether she contributes or not, like I said, I have colleagues here in the States, their wives are stay at him wife, yet have a lot of say in the decision making.

Respectfully, if she has a lot of say, then it’s because she’s given a lot of say, which can still happen.
Don’t forget. “He who pays the piper….”

My point is, one has to contribute a meaningful quota in order to earn some level of entitlement.

Fineman2:
My name is Dora.

I am 35 years old and everybody keeps reminding me that age is no longer on my side.

My fiance and I have been dating for more than one year and we are getting married soon.

My fiance is 40 years old and he has never been married.

The relationship was really good when we started but now that our wedding is in a few weeks time, he has shown how controlling he can be.

From the choice of the wedding dress, to the bridesmaids selection, to the colour of the day, he wants to be in charge.

He also wants his mum to buy the cloth for our engagement as well as buy our wedding ring.

He does whatever his family says without seeking my opinion and it almost seems as if I am not the one getting married.

I told my parents about how this makes me feel and they just asked me to endure because I am getting older but I really fear for what is going to happen after the wedding.

Are these not red flags I should run from?

I am confused, please advise me.

I’m quite certain that you’re not contributing anything to buying any of those mentioned items.
If I’m right, then this is self entitlement
and to be having this at your age is not good for you o.

OChimex:
Forget, some men especially in Africa are so prideful and controlling. And it’s annoying how they treat women. They treat their wives as slaves.
These are dumb African men who can’t move their society or country forward. And have refused to build a modern society like the rest of the world, yet they have stupid egos.
Believe me honestly, when you treat women/wives/ mothers/sister respectfully, and love them so much, the submission and respect will come naturally and the loyalty and love will be massive. (When a woman loves, she loves for real) and you will be surprise how much success you will have in your home and life and business.

Try to ask yourself this question.
If she was the one footing the bills or sharing the bills with the man, do you think the man will make such decision?

To me, this is not an issue of submission. That’s why I encourage women to make their own money before getting into marriage.
It will attract respect from the man.

Kobojunkie:
She said he is controlling, a sign of a potentially violent being.

See your life. Sign detector.

Pakwel:
Please do not listen to this people hear oh.. abeg you with God. Most of the ladies here after given you bad advice they will locate that your man and submit to him. You think men are scum,? Ladies hates ladies progess. Especially marital progress

As a lady, the last person you want to take advice from is a single lady. Especially the ones in their late 20s and 30s.

babzlim:
seat him down and have a one on one talk with him if possible tell him how scared you are concerning his new attitude and how much he has changed, after the talk if you still don't see any changes my sister the advice I will give you is same I will give my own biological sister.

RUN IN CAPITAL LETTER.

Trust me is better to live a single life and be happy than to be in an abusive marriage either male or female.

Did she mention anything about abuse!

What is the problem with women and being submissive to most likely, the man that is footing all the bills for the marriage!
To me it’s nothing but pride.

teekay213:
You can marry him cos age is not on your side but keep talking to him and be a good wife,cook his best meal,clean up for him,do well in za oda room, pray for him and together.he might change when he sees how you care for him

This one is not an option for them. Husband full everywhere.

donphilopus:
Whose mandate was stolen? Is it the Peter Obi who was getting less than 5k votes when Tinubu and Atiku were getting hundreds of thousands of votes in the core north? You think getting 95% of the votes cast in the southeast wins you a Presidential election in Nigeria? Lol

BTW, are you aware that the total valid votes in Kano and Sokoto States alone dwarf that of the entire southeast? Are you also aware that Peter Obi didn't get up to 35k votes in these two states while Tinubu secured more than 800k votes? So when next your crooning "mandate stealer", take it to Instagram where most people are more concerned about big front and back.

This is so true.
I voted for Atiku because I didn’t think Obi had any chance of winning.
God knows Tinubu was not even a choice for me but, honestly, Obi actually surprised me with the numbers he scored.

Don’t get me wrong, anybody who still voted for a failed APC has a problem with success, but any mandate was not stolen.
Those that lost actually did not play by the rules of numbers.

Worriedwife:
I wasn't expecting a sensible response.

Ok, so women are the initiators of marriage in your sensible locality!

This gender battle will only set you aback in reasoning o. Just hear yourself!

Worriedwife:
It looks like kids 4rm divorced homes are only females. What of the male kids from divorced homes,,should they be avoided for marriage?

In most cases, the man is the one that does the choosing. He makes the first attempt and must go for what appeals to him.

jackmrandy:
you have a child already with another woman. tell us the full story that led to you not marrying her, and now you want to marry another woman. the fact that you have double dated already shows you are what you are asking already. can't you see it. go and make amend with your baby mama and leave single girls alone. or still go look for another single mother and marrry. case close. who knows if you will still turn this young one now into another single mother.

its time the society awake from all this none sense of turning ladies into single mothers.

Nothing comes from nothing.
Most single mothers are the architects of their problems. This is why we urge ladies to be careful because they are the ones that stand to lose the most.
No man is willing to tie themselves down because of anybody.

Why do you think courts always grant women the benefit of doubts in a divorcé case!

Thank you for this.

Risingblue008:
Had it been they declared labour party winner of past election,I believe we for no dey hear all these rubbish,.

This is to let u knw dt ,our politicians are using us to do business,
U pple should stop pretending dt Nigeria is fine,
Nothing APC have to offer,
Nothing even pdp have to offer
That's just the truth,

Then we try new party,na so Dem rob us day light,
If the rain wan fall,e go fall for all of us head.
Since we never still get sense,
U go suffer
I go suffer
We go suffer,
Una go cry tire,
I just dey observe

And you think voting Obi can stop what is happening in the senate?
You sure say you go school?

fuckJones:
you are far from the truth, if obi was not the ballot, tinubu would have won Lagos with more than 1m votes, win Rivers with close to a million votes, win Benue state with more than 600 vote and win Kano with more than one million votes

You are not thinking well.
The electorates are divided into two. Those that want APC and those that don’t.
Those that voted for Obi would rather vote for Atiku than Tinubu.

Ask Falz or even yourself that is an ‘Obidient’, between Tinubu and Atiku chose one. More than 95% of ‘Obidient’ will chose Atiku.

Tell yourself the truth. Even if I voted for Obi, I would rather have Atiku than Tinubu.

When your living is a threat to me then it's not live and let's live again, homosexuality is a threat to me and humanity at large

I’m correcting someone and you are making the same error again.

The correct word is “live and let live”
not “live and let’s live”.

saphiere:
Live and let's Live

The word is “live and let live”.

Hopefully, you will still have this view if and when your own daughter or kid sister is clubbed on the head by a lunatic.

What is your problem. Boy or girl, they are both children.
If flogging is allowed in a school, the two best parts of the body to flog a child without inflicting too much pain are either on the hand or on the bum bum.
