You can lead the revolution so that we can use you for experiment. Make sure you carry your palle and malle too join including bros and sis 😁

The level of insecurity in the country is quite alarming and our drug baron seems not to be doing anything about it.

This country is due for a revolution

Una don start again o.......and if person talk wetin dey hin mind now, seun go hammer 🔨 person for NL.....

Deris God o

I used to like Goodluck but I detest his behaviours after leaving office. Buhari hated igbo's simply because they voted and supported Jonathan during 2015 election. All through Buhari's tenure he was frequently visiting Aso Rock but never for one day speak or solicit for Igbo's whatsoever. All the injustice igbo's received he never spoke against it as an ex-president and Wike paid back the Igbo's with rigging of 2023 presidential election against Obi in Rivers State. Now, Jonathan is visiting Tinubu hmmmmm......

A vote for Alhaji means all these terrorists will be set free......and rehabilitated into our security apparatus.

I beg make una let power stay in the south for another 4 yrs 😁

Say no to Atiku

So says the soothsayer, or the oracle, or the keyboard warrior.......😁

Dreal1247:
It's unfortunate that the political future of Nigeria appears to be hanging on uncertainty. Even the people who call themselves master strategists appear to be on the crossroads. The surprises of the year 2027 will be monumental as many who thought that they have succeeded shall be massively disappointed. The journey remains bleaky.

I wonder why Nigerians are dissing Adelabu. Jonathan already sold the Power Generating Companies (Genco) and Power Distribution Companies (Discos) to his cronies and friends who are feeding fat on the sufferings of the people.

Gencos with capacity to produce over 10,000 MW are generating only 4,000+ or less and will charge the government for electricity not produced or distributed.

Discos refused to improve the network, will reject power from the Gencos but will be happy to send estimated billing to customers and collect money they dis not earn. They will also refuse to pay for electricity supplied by the Gencos but rather feed fat on their collections.

The solution is to sack both Gencos and Discos with FG taking over. Buhari and Fashola couldn't do this because the Gencos and Discos will wipe their ass in court. Adelabu is constrained here......

For example, Otedola bought a GENCO for $250 million and sold it for $750 million. Tony Elumelu bought his own Genco for about $350 million. Today its worth over $1 billion.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigerians. We should not be decieved or point blame in the wrong direction.

What is the difference between ADC and APC......try and disillusion yourself.....as a full fledge member of the so called urchins.

Bentacur007:
Some APC urchins are confused all they focused is ADC because they are afraid of ADC.
Just look at how INEC is messing up here and there

Fortunately, you have only one vote! And this cannot stop APC in Lagos. Why not go and use your vote very wisely in Awka. 😁😁😁

Sheuns:
It’s better to vote another party. A vote for APC in Lagos state is a vote for continuous looting and lies.

Joker joker jokest........

Keep dreaming and keep consoling yourself.

Hemanwel:
What about the Minister of Darkness?

Tinubu's sacking next year is sacrosanct! We are voting the ADC from top to bottom

Common now Chairman. GEJ did ground breaking of what...... OBJ and GEJ's PDP that refused to allow LASG reconstruct Muritala Mohammed International Airport Road until Buhari came to power in 2015.

Jonathan did break one single ground in Lagos or the entire South West.

iwaeda:
GEJ did the ground breaking, it was pure private initiative. Fashionable was the governor. We know who helped Lagos.

No matter how much you envy Tinubu's record, you just have to commend him for his sagacity!

I remembered Ahmadu Bello Way in Victoria Island being completely washed away by the ocean surge in 2001. Today, Tinubu turned that disaster into a $6 billion Eko Atlantic City adding 2.5% to the GDP of our country.

This same Tinubu pulled all the stops to ensure Dangote built his refinery in Lagos while the governors of Ogun, Ondo, Rivers were chasing Dangote away with greed! Another $25 billion asset added to Lagos economy.

Wailers should watch what will happen with the Lagos Calabar coastal road! The next 50 years, Nigeria will be reaping the benefit of this project.

And some people will compare PBAT to one agalu failure that could only build one brewery. No be juju be that?

iwaeda:
Nlfpmod, Everything is ground breaking under Tinubu, the only one that built Lagos.

The Obi camp wailing go loud o 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The man of all POssibilities to be vice president is unacceptable ☺️

It is a free world.....after all, that is how Obi tried to scatter APGA before he ran away. Atiku scatter PDP before he jumped ship. So not a biggie at all 😁

And if you are not happy, go to court......

Has he finished spending the $2 million he stole to cut grass.....the biggest disgrace of Buhari's government......

This is the only way to end the menace. Like thd Russian Soldiers in Ukraine, as you eliminate they replace, but there will come a time when they wont come again.....knowing fully well that its a one way journey into kidnapping, once you are caught, you are dead. Even their sponsors and godfathers in the north will tell them to stop the madness.

This is what Mali and Burkina Faso is doing to thd killer herdsmen

Harddiskng:
Herdsmen? Once caught send them all to their maker!

Use their cows to throw a party for the nearest community.

One answer! Politics.

Same thing Ztiku and Obi are playing today. They all shared the same manifesto on subsidy, but you can see Obi and Atiku are fighting PBAT on this.......

SonOfWords:
One question:

Why did Bola Tinubu vehemently oppose fuel subsidy removal under Jonathan in 2012?

Confusion break-ee bone-ee, yeepa !
Na double wahala for dead-ee body
And the owner of dead-ee body
Na double wahala for dead-ee body.....

Inside ADC, one side says Atiku go defeat PBAT, another one says Obi go defeat am before 12 noon. Make una make up una mind.....jagaban with the silent majority, dey read-ee for una 😁

About time we enact a law that once kidnappers are caught, tgey shoukd face immediate firing squad! Public execution, and you will see that this menace will reduce if not stopped completely.

Why not focus on the message and seek collective solutions. Rather than blaming the messenger for shining light on this condemnable act of some bad eggs in our society

Please can you do a background check on the sources of these news. I believe it's a crime having multiple monikers on a platform like this. Or is the multiple moniker arrangement another way to boost the algorithm by saying members are much on Nairaland when people like the OP has numerous accounts and monikers?

Peterobiisathie

I.amfraud that Seun changed from b.eerfraud.

I really want to understand the concept behind letting the OP run numerous monikers. Is the owner of the monikers a MODERATOR?

Just asking

So why must it be that those from a particular side are lured into this despicable dastardly crime?

Yorubastardz:
Don't be fooled
Indians are cashing out from drug dealers

Somebody in Indian embassy is bringing these drug dealers into india

These are the players
1. Indian mafia boss
2. Immigration officer
3. Indian embassy staff
4. Recruited victims

The agent in Nigeria scout for potential hustlers . Connect them with their plug at Indian embassy Nigeria. Get visa immediately. The person go pay flight ticket

Land in India. Their plug in immigration give the boys clear pass.
Boys enter India spend 1 month knowing locations then start push drugs for the Indian Oga.

Indian police want their own share
So they catch these ones for 2 reasons

1. To post image that they are working and winning fight on drugs.
2. To extort and collect their own share

If you get money, dem go release you
If you no get, dem thruw u for sanko

Some dealers have been arrested 8 times
Them go use money sort am out and continue.

Indian popo use am dey chop money

Na why e dey sweet them to catch these boys. Dem go take group picture like when fishernen take group picture with big fish dem catch

The business is too deep.
Each chain is benefiting from each other.
Indians corrupt like mad. Don't be fooled

Emeka should be deported back to Nigeria after serving his full jail time! He can then be abusing Nigerian government on social media.......😁😁😁

I for add some other comments but you can read my mind......so fill in the gap 😁

When you are looking for animals with horns, then the snail is raising its head. What freedom of speech cannot do......jesters ranting can do.....😁

I asked chat GPT to draw up a comparison between this present PBAT's led government and the previous ones below is the response I got you're free to do so too

Bola Ahmed Tinubu could be considered one of Nigeria’s best presidents (from a development standpoint), you have to focus on structural reforms, macroeconomic stabilization, and long-term capacity building—then compare those with what past leaders achieved or failed to do.

Below is a robust pro-Tinubu argument, grounded in measurable developments and contrasted with predecessors.

1. Bold Structural Reforms (Unmatched Since 1999)
Tinubu’s edge:
Fuel subsidy removal (a decades-long drain on public finances)

Unification of exchange rates (ending multiple FX windows)

👉 These were widely seen as politically dangerous but economically necessary.

Freed trillions of naira for development spending �
The Guardian Nigeria
Prevented a looming fiscal crisis and debt spiral �
Reuters
Compared to predecessors:
Muhammadu Buhari largely retained subsidies, worsening fiscal pressure.
Olusegun Obasanjo implemented reforms—but avoided politically explosive ones like subsidy removal at scale.

👉 Argument: Tinubu has taken the toughest structural decisions of any democratic-era president.

2. Strong Revenue Growth & Fiscal Discipline
Tinubu’s achievements:
Non-oil revenue exceeded ₦20 trillion (record level) �
Premium Times Nigeria
Monthly government allocations to states increased significantly (over 60%) �
Thisdaylive
Debt service-to-revenue ratio dropped from ~97% to below 50% �
The Guardian Nigeria
Fiscal deficit reduced from 5.4% to ~3% of GDP �
Premium Times Nigeria
Compared to predecessors:
Buhari era: Almost all revenue went into debt servicing
Earlier governments: Heavy reliance on oil, weak tax systems

👉 Argument: Tinubu is rebuilding Nigeria’s fiscal foundation, something previous administrations struggled to achieve sustainably.

3. Economic Growth & Stability Indicators
Under Tinubu:
GDP growth reached ~4%+ in 2025 (fastest in years) �
Premium Times Nigeria
Q2 2025 growth: 4.23% (highest in 4 years) �
The Guardian Nigeria
Trade surplus surged significantly �
Thisdaylive
External reserves increased and investor confidence improved �
The Economic Times
World Bank projections:
Nigeria expected to grow ~4.2% by 2026, supported by reforms �
Reuters
Compared to predecessors:
Buhari: Low growth + recession periods
Goodluck Jonathan: Moderate growth but structurally fragile

👉 Argument: Tinubu is shifting Nigeria from consumption-driven to reform-driven growth.
4. Massive Increase in Government Revenue & Capacity
Tinubu:
Government revenue doubled in some sectors �
Nairametrics
FAAC allocations surged, empowering states to:
Pay salaries
Invest in infrastructure �
State House Abuja
Compared to predecessors:

States were often broke and dependent on bailouts

👉 Argument: Tinubu has strengthened federal and state capacity simultaneously.
5. External Sector & Investment Improvements
Tinubu:
Cleared $10 billion FX backlog �
The Economic Times
Foreign reserves rose significantly
Foreign Direct Investment increased sharply �
ICRC
Compared to predecessors:
Nigeria struggled with:
FX shortages
Capital flight
Investor distrust

👉 Argument: Tinubu restored investor confidence and liquidity in the system.

6. Diversification Away from Oil
Tinubu:
Non-oil exports increased to ~48% of total exports �
The Guardian Nigeria
Manufacturing exports rose sharply
Record non-oil tax revenue
Compared to predecessors:

Nigeria remained oil-dependent for decades

👉 Argument: Tinubu is pushing Nigeria toward a more diversified, resilient economy.
7. Long-Term Infrastructure & Digital Push
Tinubu:
Expansion of digital infrastructure (fiber optics, tech growth) �
ICRC
Redirected subsidy savings into:
Infrastructure
Health
Education �
The Guardian Nigeria
Compared to predecessors:
Infrastructure investment often limited by fiscal leakages (subsidies, corruption)

👉 Argument: Tinubu is reallocating wasteful spending into productive assets.

8. Courage to Implement Painful but Necessary Policies
This is perhaps the strongest argument.
Tinubu implemented reforms that:
Others avoided for political survival
Economists had recommended for over 20 years

👉 Even critics agree:

These policies caused short-term hardship
But may prevent long-term economic collapse �
Reuters
Final Comparative Verdict
Why a strong case can be made:
Compared to:
Muhammadu Buhari → cautious, low-growth, subsidy-heavy
Goodluck Jonathan → growth without deep reforms
Olusegun Obasanjo → reformist, but less aggressive on subsidies

👉 Tinubu stands out for:

Depth of reforms
Speed of implementation
Fiscal restructuring
Economic rebalancing
Bottom Line (Pro-Tinubu Argument)
If you define “best president” by:
Structural economic reforms
Fiscal discipline
Long-term national repositioning.

👉 Then a strong argument can be made that Tinubu is among the most transformational presidents Nigeria has had—even if the short-term pain is significant.

Na for other party matters your mouth dey sabi sharp.

When e reach governance inefficiency and leadership incompetence under APC, you go begin lead the blind mice congregation.

Agbero union ticket officer🤡!

Atiku is a failure in his ward, local government and in his state of Adamawa. How can a man with no footprint at home make impact at the national level.

APC, PDP, ADC, NPPP, and so on are the same set of people. But some people on kolos will come and be yarning agalu failure for us here.

Anyway, make I carry my popcorn 🍿, ADC blockbuster movie is about to start 😁😁😁

Testing testing testing......


I support this 100%. And online access shoukd be given so they can also contribute to meaningful discuss online. Including abusing Tinubu for being the cause of their incarceration for pushing drugs 😁😁😁

iamfraud:
INEC should assist Peter Obi by opening polling units in prisons across Asia and some Africa countries like South Africa, Kenya and Liberia
E get reason

Even if I say no comment i go chop cane for NL. Because you dey read my mind, you already know wetin I wan write here 😁😁😁

In the same sentence, you are contradicting yourself. Who enabled the refinery to be sited in Lagos? Who is ensuring that petroleum cabal doesn't kill the refinery. I am sure its not the agalu failure, he has no clue how to build an economy 😁😁😁

Eleph:
Why are the people not even asking Tinubu and the APC why the NNPC is still not working having claimed otherwise all through last year?
What happened to the huge amount of money spent on the so-called turnaround maintenance?
Tinubu is the Minister of Petroleum as it is, if not for Dangote, I can bet we'll be buying fuel for as high as ₦2,500 per litre. The builder of Lagos State prioritized his interest in the Lagos-Calabar Coastal highway, neglecting other sectors like Power, Security, and Oil & Gas and the economy.

Kudos to Dangote for saving Nigerians in the hands of this evil government and its political party, the APC.

And they all support tinubu because he brought the reform that increased state and LG revenue significantly
