The greatest beneficiary of the low purchasing power and flooding the market with inferior substandard goods remain China.

Did China industrialise by borrowing itself into oblivion like a drunken sailor?

China had a clearly articulated Industrial policy using household SME models into cooperatives whilst pursing a deliberate indigenisation policy with foriegn corporations.

I not a Tinubu fan.

But the truth is that his reforms are indeed transformative.

He tackled the most sensitive items regarded as the most consequential in 40 years.

PMS subsidy and FX arbitrage were killers to the economy.

@helinues,

Yours has left being an opinion and has become somewhat of a spell or cûr$e.

How much can you be paid to receive curses on another mortals behalf?

Absolutely nothing.

Get a life dude !

Have a productive day.

helinues:
Poor you, shouldn't you also been busy doing something on Monday morning instead of nagging about other people's opinion?

Dear @Helinues,

Trust this open letter meets you very well.

It's quite disheartening, a shame and distasteful how things have spanned for this moniker owner.

It's 10.40am on a "Monday morning". The most consequential and productive day of an average adults life with just 52 Mondays in 2026.

You spend the entire Q1-Q4 attacking a Man who remains mute whilst you consistently lash-out bitterness unprovoked.

N30k or upgraded N100k will do you no significant good and afford you nothing but Asàsí (spell) from onlookers.

Your moniker remains the most notorious on NL Politics comments section.

My advice is that if you are not given a N1m upgrade for this herculian hatchet task you have been given, kindly recuse yourself.

The swear go too plenty for your head soon.

helinues:
This must be a joke.

Were you in a coma when your supporters have been harassing, insulting , intimidating,disrespecting, trolling others for years?

Hypocrisy slap your face there

PBATs economic records are not only catastrophic but embarrassing to the populace and right thinking Nigerians.

Indeed let PBAT be humble enough to accept defeat if it happens in the General Election in '27.

PBAT will loose '27 Presidential Elections trust me .

At least he is more decent than the man who said publicly that "All is fair in Politics" !

Bayo Onanuga is the first Presidential Spokesperson Post '99 that is so petty, crude, distasteful and uncouth.

Peter Obi is 10X better than the person he is defending.

Alhaji Musa Balarabe has said it explicitly that the incentives to cross-carpet are enormous financially.

Unfortunately, most voters in '27 will be taking a personal decision on the Presidential election.

Let them decamp to Jehovah's witnesses party sef.

#TMG# -

Justice Nwite of all people .

Politically Motivated!

What happened in Osun to APC will be replicated on a national scales especially the North.

Haba !

He should not only resign but should be blacklisted from working for any Government Agency.

I must commend the light-up Lagos State initiative as the Entire Ikeja and most parts of Lagos State have been lit up with functional street lights.

However, in a truth Lagos State is extremely dirty for a commercial capital likened to New York, Rio-Di-Jenero, Cairo, Johannesburg etc.

Detty December is almost here and WizKid, Davido, Asake and Burna have lined up events with crowd pull- effects for the State.

A "Crack-Team" and multi-pronged approach will have to be swiftly adopted to resolve the issue of filth.

A resounding Amen to that !

That can never be the reason !

Hope you read the Opay Financials properly and see how much they list as delinquent loans and are projecting a bad loan write-off of over $112m as Nigerians refused to pay back loans taken.

NaijaHelper1:
Lool. They've probably seen the killing oPay made and are now realising there is some extra wealth here that needs to fly away

Nothing new.

RMB did same under Buhari and got a merchant banking license.

JP Morgan is an Investment Bank and rendezvous point for attracting more hot Money FPIs.

If PBAT will loose his second term bid, He will have no other people to blame but the following people who have taken a conscious effort to de-marketing him excellently.

1, Oluremi Tinubu - With her spontaneous and improperly thought out phrases on the Nigerian electorate.

2, Bayo Onanuga - Running the most uncouth and unrefined jabs unprovoked at political opposition with an adversory approach thus making the C-in-C unlikable.

3, Reno Omokri- Self styled wannabe publicist and PR stunts man put up an irritating propaganda machinery after working for Alhaji Atiku and failed. A pen for hire and one of the most predictable jobmen in the PBAT regime. Denied ambassadorial acceptance in Mexico.

4, Daniel Bwala: Seems to have been bewitched with the use of words and phrases. Had an embarrassing edition with Mehdi Hasan with a viewership of over 2m YouTube views caught lying tounge in cheek.

5, Engr. David Umahi : His bold and emphatic statement to his South East brothers quoted as "Don't vote for Peter Obi" is currently being termed as the biggest betrayal of the S/E Presidential ambition having been starved of National prominence for 60yrs as Presidency and not even a VP slot Post '99 Democratic rule.

6, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo: The Allegations of the Finances by Soludo and the Godfather of his Children debate has been taken as going too far to diminish the image of the NDC candidate whilst Debt Management Office (DMO) has debunked the debt issue saying Soludo's figure are way above the recorded debt stock of Anambra state during POs handover date.

7, Twenty Three (23) Million Poverty Striken Nigerians : The World Bank, IMF and recently the EU has affirmed than indeed Nigeria has the highest number of multidimensional poor and vulnerable people in the whole world.

Since PBAT assumed power, 23 million additional people have slid into the poverty trap based on the reforms including the PMS subsidy removal, electricity tarrif hikes and insecurity. Within same three (3) years period India has successfully lifted 300million people out of poverty through a sequenced productivity and industrial growth.

Respectfully, PBAT and his handlers seem to have no regards for Optics and National Shame.

Same Macron that Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger have outrightly rejected its Policy of Assimilation sovereignty.

A President that Donald Trump has taken a swipe at on different occasion including on domestic issues.

In three years and six (6) months, is this the best PBAT can come-up with whilst suffering the biggest reputational deficiency in Nigerian Presidential history.

It's indeed a shame!

What value will the visit bring except another make-up PR and "image laundering" move by the PBAT administration.

Dear Mr. Shelle,

Kindly tell Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to respectfully sit-back and support PO or he should hold his peace.

As it stands now, the highest probability of votes that will be defended in southern Nigeria belongs to PO.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar I repeat should go and sit down !

No SS, SW, SE or NC state including Abuja, Taraba, Benue and Plateau can vote for Atiku.

On the other hand, PBAT has proven to be a disaster. Asides from data, ratings and statistics Nigerians are going through the worst cost-of-living in 40 years.

For majority of Nigerians, I don't think they will want to experience another round of PBAT.

PO seems to have the odds in his favour based on the Kwakwanso factor in the North, His personal Intergrity, Age, perceived marginalisation of his Igbo Tribe and huge Social Media followership.

However, his Party NDC remains invincible all over Nigeria including the rural voting populace.

If a free and fair election is conducted, PO will win convincingly all over Nigeria.

Dear Ben Murray Bruce, aka Common sense series Man.

Kindly note that thunda is very patient, stay one place make thunda know how to firë u sir.

Don't whine our PO pls.

Davido is the true son of his father.


Indeed you are not a bastard.

State Police Bill is an awesome Bill, but must be passed as Law only after the Presidental Elections. in Jan'27

The average Nigerian Politician underates the survival instinct and intelligence of an average resident that has gone through the worst cost-of-living crisis, poverty and exploitation.

In some APC states, Advertisment, posters pasting and other promotional items for opposition leaders have either been barred, denied access to share or rates inflated to unimaginable amounts

The same Governors will now be given absolute powers over a state police with approval to bear sophisticated ammunition like the AK-47.

Even a KG 2 toddler knows the reason why the bill is being hurriedly pushed before elections.

FYI I have three properties in Ado Ekiti, Two in Oye and one in Ido Ekiti.

My mother is from Ekiti and wouldnt because of that fact agree on bunkum turanchi stats.

I lived in Ekiti State more than you and have visited other states in the middle belt, SE,SS, NC and currently in Lagos.

Ekiti State is a poor state simple ! The Youths that thrive leave the state in droves to intergrate properly into cosmopolitan living and exposure.





[quote author=Godfullsam post=140925054]Stop saying what you don't know.

That's all.

A statistical platform shows ekiti is among the 12 states with the least poverty level in Nigeria, you that knows next to nothing about statistics is here talking rubbish simply because the information didn't align with you shallow idea about the state.

Some one just posted the poverty index by states released in 2022 by world bank.
Ekiti state was ranked number 6 with least poverty index.

[/quote

You better keep your hands productive and conversation reasonable.

I should send you timeline ?

How funny ?

Ekiti State had the least FAAC allocation in the Southwest states previously.

Godfullsam:
Ekiti state is dominated by average people.
You call them poor because your mindset is poor.

You mention civil servants, state govt. workers and you said they are poor.
You simple don't know what is means to be poor in Nigeria context.
By the way you need to compare the last time you visited ekiti state to the time this statistics was made.
Ekiti state is one of the most educated state in Nigeria.

Lastly, kindly show us the people begging you for money on your timeline and give prove to us that they are from ekiti state.

I am not from ekiti state FYI.

Half of the Low income people who own cars and live in the surb-urbs sleep in their cars in Lagos.

greatiyk4u:
Those computing this statistics may not be aware that over 2M people in Lagos are homeless..

Sleeping under the bridge, in churches and mosques, incompleted buildings, in front of shops especially in isaleko area

Ekiti State has a lot of poor people.

I am acquainted with the state and have passed through the State for 15 years and lived there for three (3) years on-duty-tour all over Ekiti.

From Aramoko to Omuo-Ekiti I visited almost every community.

Civil Servants, Teachers, Local Government Workers and peasant farmers.

Always broke as hell.

No major private Industries in the State asides from Afe Babalola University.

Others are Government related like the Ekiti State University, Federal University Oye Ekiti, College of Health Tech, Ijero, Bamidele Olumilua Univ. Of Sci. & Tech, Ikere, Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti and other Higher institutions.

The person that compiled this list including Ekiti is a cretin.

¾ of the Ekiti people on my timeline are always begging for money.

El-rufai is not a small fry oooo.

Hmm.

A handsome man from an Aristocrat Geneology has decided to get married to a Woman probably on Menopause.

Hope the family is alright Sha ?

Locust Beans aka Dadawa, Iru, Ogiri.

Best substitute for salt.

Grind and then dry it for long, it retains it's nutrition and compliments salt

I believe it's the interest payment on different loan facilities that the WB captured here.

Note that OMO Auctions by CBN are not captured by DMO.

lionshare:
This is actually good news, but something doesn’t add up in the report. Federation debt service-to-revenue fell from 86% in 2023 to 38% in 2024, rising to 42% in 2025.

FG revenue grew 72% to ₦6.2tn in H1 2026, while interest payments rose just 37.5%. Consequently, interest-to-FG-revenue fell from 156% to 124%. That’s an improvement in FG’s fiscal position, not a deterioration.

Also, the 124% is against FG revenue, NOT total federation revenue. Context matters

Even the Government knows the plans of IMF.

Foreign Portfolio Investors and GDP rebased induced growth.

Isssshhhhh !

PBAT could swiftly articulate a Presidential Campaign Council,re-align the same list and enforce a high power Team to deliver him a second term.

In the last Three (3) years and six months since this President assumed the Presidency,no dedicated "High Level" crack team has been set-up to deliberately tackle and ameliorate the excruciating poverty in Nigeria.

Instead it's politics over real Governance.

The PBATs Administration remains one of the most insensitive regimes in Nigeria post '99 Democracy albeit the worst after Shehu Shagari in 1983.

Sunday Dare with his AI inspired posts should cover his head in shame
