I am yet to be convinced that the Nigerian economy is that bad.

Can I ask you a question? Do you live in Lagos, and if you do, how often do you go out for entertainment and relaxation? I mean normally, as in over say, the last five or even ten years, do you do so regularly? To restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, etc.

JASONjnr:
You need to work on your reasoning....

Whether you calm it a worldwide protest..... You can't travel from Nigeria to Ghana to protest.

Simple thing is, go to your state and protest where you elected a governor.

I'm sure, if there's a single governor that's doing extremely well... Nobody from that state would love to risk it's life to protest because of the benefits they receive from their state governors.....where the benefits gets to them wherever they reside...

Call it bigotry or tribalism.... It doesn't make sense....if you goto Lagos to destroy their properties where Enugu properties are intact, yet Enugu governor is below the performance of the Lagos governor.

The policies that created the present problem (subsidy removal/ naira floatation/ electricity tarriff hike) are all Federal policies, not state policies, so your position makes no sense. Just admit you are governed by tribalism.

So he didn't even read the law he passed.

Statesmanly. Dignified. Noble..

The most difficult message to receive is for a well feed man asking a hungry and angry man to be patient,if to say everyone dey inside this hunger e for make sense,but government officials with jombo pay and numerous allowances asking a jobless and hungry graduate to be patient? E no go work

Gbam!

Always the rich telling the poor to be patient!

Franklyspeakin:
so it's confirmed that it's actually a very bad economy

You have no idea. All the restaurants and fun spots on the island are empty these days.

Alaye commot Dangote 100 million dollars and yet Lag GDP is bigger then the entire SE GDP since 1999 . Hatred is not good for your health okay, who God don bless He don bless

Lagos is the melting pot of Nigeria's economy. It is on account of this that it has the economic position it has. It is not on account of any special attribute of LASG or Lagosians.

Kukutenla:
That's the false logic they use. In a centralised state like Nigeria where even VAT is national, boasting about GDP of a state is just a lie. No state controls macroeconomics in Nigeria. They are all federally determined. So rise or fall of GDP is strictly a national affair. That's how they claimed to make Lagos the fourth largest economy in Africa. We've been asking them to enumerate what steps they took to achieve that. Till today na silence

Exactly my thoughts. When one considers that every state, including the wealthiest, still derive a significant portion of their budget from Federal allocations, the question becomes serious.

But it goes deeper than that. The actual daily economies of the states are way too interconnected to arrive at such a figure for Lagos as a stand alone. Most of its economic activity derives from it's role as the melting pot for the business activities of the whole of Nigeria, thus there is something inherently suspect about calculating such as its exclusive GDP.

Isn't it a little questionable determining the GDP of a state when one considers the interconnected nature of the factors of production within a federation?

Salewa97:
Abacha's family trying to drag Tinubu into their mess won't work. Tinubu is focused on moving Nigeria forward, and no amount of distraction can change that. Let the courts decide, but I believe Tinubu will come out stronger.

Dreamer, Joker and hater of Nigeria.

Never4getU:
This is the implication of protests alert by the organizers.

I'm not sure Kenyans give their govt heads-up prior to their grievance against the ruler.

Nigeria govt will use all means possible just to tone down the gains of the civil rights so as to achieve nothing and that's because u allowed them to build up against it

True. It should be spontaenous. And if planned, max 48 hours notice. This one that they have given weeks, the govt will foil the whole thing, already they are foiling it.

PresidObi:
That's the biggest lie told in the world so far. Guinness world records has been beaten

I understand what you mean. Perhaps I am saying the way it should be.

PresidObi:
Tell that to the people beaten and killed by election violence in Lagos last year.

Bad, but all Nigerians remain at home anywhere in Nigeria.

PresidObi:
Thank you UN, but these guys have ear problems.

We have been warning them o, they wont hear till they employ some jobless park touts to burn their old houses then turn around and look for who to pin it on.

Go and protest in your home states of Osun, Ondo, Oyo and Ogun states. We will check ID cards, if you're not from Lagos, we won't allow you join the protests. Just as many people were not allowed to vote in Lagos, they should not also join protests.

For the Ss and Se, you know that you have no dog in this fight, don't go and dance to a music you don't know who is beating the drums. Hardship dey, but dont enter prison because of a planned protest that has been placed as a trap for you.

All Nigerians are at home anywhere in Nigeria, including Lagos.

She sang for Abacha's life presidency as part of Daniel Kanu's million man march and that alone destroys her legacy.

Globad:
Religious arrogance

When will you finish breaking the yoke?

Imagine if the religion that says that God gave birth to himself and killed himself, as a sacrifice to himself, in order to forgive human beings that he created and tempted, had originated from Nigeria.

They would have written it off as nonsense

Gbam! Thank you jaare!

Annalise20:
Last I checked Jesus is an Israelite not white
And no, we Catholics don't "idolize images of madam Mary".
Please 🙏
Get your facts right.

Jesus may have been Israelite but the image used if him everywhere is white. Secondly you catholics do kneel before the cross and statues of Mary, stop lying.

It is too late at night for any sin that is not sexual.

Come on where are you, report to my bed at once.

Sonnobax15:

And to think that some fellows who also knee down and pray to the picture of a white man in the name of Jesus,are castigating her beats my total imagination....

Come on,what's the difference between you Catholics who pray and idolizes the image of madam Mary and what this girl is doing?

Nor mind Dem. Enslaved hypocrites

The second picture, the short guy on the left of the picture, look at the shape of his head! Dayyyuuuuum!

lol humans, they read and then know you so well. So without politics coming in, you won’t know anything? Anything the media sell, you buy. For this dirty politics

You are not serious.

How do you assess your leaders? Are you in their bedrooms? Or is it information on their lives and deeds through the media?

You are just a joker.

Word has it that Ol' Joe may actually be dead and that the letter purporting to step down from the presidential race in his name is actually a forgery. Several factors appear to be pointing to this as appears in this thread -

"Trump & his extremist agenda"

Let me guess:
*Trump securing the border to curb the surge of uncontrolled illegal migration is called extemist agenda

* Trump talks taking care of military vets and they call him extremist

* Trump talks creating jobs for Americans and they call him extremist

I'm not even a fan of Trump but I don't what's so evil about his mandates.

Jesus, there are people in the world oh. So you mean these kinds of noble things are the only deeds/ words you have heard from/ about Trump?

Well done dia.

blueAgent:
Story.

Anywhere white ppl go, Una fo fellow.

Speak for yasef.

blueAgent:
But it is not inferiority ,that make you to leave your country to immigrate to another man's country?

Ol boy I am in Lasgidi forever.

And no, immigration is not necessarily a consequence of inferiority.The number one immigrants in the world are white people otherwise what are they doing in America.

This man is the most revolting obnoxious shameless creature I have ever come across.

tegrianonigltd:
All of a sudden, you know him from Nigeria 😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, you read online and definitely know him so well than his mother. Una too funny

Keep playing the ostrich as though that is not a man who has led a public life. Anything to defend the cult leader. Slave.

My dear, if at all you want to wish away the fact that his deeds for decades are in the public space, at least take this to the bank: he is a convicted felon.

pobosky20:
You even sound more racist than Trump.

U are just playing reverse psychology against yourself.

The whole world knows Trump is racist.

Kemetian:
What bullet?

My friend that thing was staged. Make we hear word.

Babanla staged. Oscar winning film!

Agugbadin:
Repair your country and let others migrate to your country, how can you hate someone because he tried to control illegal migration to his country

As though that is all he has done and said.

Blackman, your slavery rests in your inferiority complex.

Be there worshipping an openly racist man.

BABANGBALI:

hammer567:
FVCK U NIGGA!

Thank you for the last time and with that I think we can say good night. All the best good brother.

PS: Just so you learn to stop throwing assumptions around, I despise both Buhari and Tinubu and I think GEJ is a saint compared to them. And no, I did not vote such people, I campaigned against them.

Thank you once again.
