This is escalating seriously.

There are things to be said, but I am just to tired to say it.

Russia has fought and is fighting an enemy that is very deceptive, very disingenuous, and very snakelike. That enemy is the collective west who are using Ukraine as a proxy.

I will be a realist and admit, Russia will not be able to win. Not because they don't have the ability, but because they don't have the will.

A lot of things that Ukraine has done, if 1% of it was done against the USA, nuclear bombs will have been released a long time ago.

how is the west using Ukraine as a proxy?

Cos Tinubu never said he was going to do anything so I know what to expect
I trust him to be a thief
Obi will not do anything so I don't support him to make me look stupid on top his failure

he never made noise about any of those things do I don't expect from him
What I expected he delivered in 12 days of assuming office
In not delusional like obi supporters

did I ask you if you support obi or not?

if you say tinubu never said he will do anything and you are not expecting anything from him, then why is he occupying the office of president?

are you saying that he has failed and he will end up being a failure in office?

instead focusing on obi who does not presently hold public office, why don't you focus on tinubu who presently holds a public office and is accountable to every nigerian?

I didnt ask you whether tinubu made noise or not.

I asked you since tinubu is not a gbajue master, how has he successfully tackled corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

Cromagnon:
Did he tell you that was his goal?
His goal was to be president. Did he succeed or not
Obi goal is to be president
He came third
Even atiku beat him àbí atiku also rigged him out?

that is not what I asked you.

if you say "tinubu will never be a failure noisemaker", then how has he successfully tackled corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

RichBoy247:
Let the whole world cook for Tinubu, he will finish the food. Lagos Boys no dey use eyes see party Jollof Rice, we must finish am ni. The other ENDSARS and Hunger Protest that you cooked, shey we Lagos Boys no eat am finish?

how has Tinubu the Lagos successfully tackled and finished eating corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

Peter Obingo is smoking Weed

how then did he as a private citizen merit an invitation to speak at the London Business School?

Cromagnon:
Compare anambra and Lagos
Truly tinubu will never be a failure noisemaker

if you say "tinubu will never be a failure noisemaker", then how has he successfully tackled corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

Cromagnon:
But no single production in all this just consumption
This is why he is a gbajue master

instead focusing on obi who does not presently hold public office, why dont you focus on tinubu who presently holds a public office and is accountable to every nigerian?

since tinubu is not a gbajue master, how has he successfully tackled corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

CommonSense1967:
A complete failure talking about competence. These are the kinds of fraudsters that are prevalent all over Africa. Smart people should ask him about his records, not about his promises. What and what did you do that shows competence when you were in charge of Anambra? Not making promises and chocho all over the place about issues that you did not implement while you were in office.

instead of getting emotional about peter obi, why dont you focus on tinubu? obi is a private citizen like and does not occupy any public office at the moment is therefore not accountable to you.

tinubu on the other hand occupies a public office and is accountable to every nigeria.

since you know a lot about competence, can you tell me how tinubu has demonstrated competence in successfully tackling corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

This is a good plan, thank you to president Tinubu, the messiah, for helping stop the bad estimated light bills.

has the plan been implemented?

Anijay1212:
We will never know the reason behind her rash actions unless she recants her accusations in public and exonerate her father. I just feel her father had no reason to send the wife to the great beyond if we take time to look critically at her accusations without bias.

who are the "we"?

you said

Anijay1212:
I guess the daughter has eaten the humble pie after rashly accusing the father.

based in what you said, why would she rashly accuse he father?

why would you "feel her father had no reason to send the wife to the great beyond"?

do you know the man?

so "take time to look critically at her accusations without bias" and tell me why she accused her father rashly and why you "feel her father had no reason to send the wife to the great beyond".

I think he handled this well

I'm doing it for free since Tinubu became the governor of Lagos state.
One man's meat is another man's poison, I love Tinubu's smartness.
He is a visionary.

how is tinubu visionary?

how has he applied that in improving the living standard of the people of nigeria?

how has tinubu used his smartness to uphold the tenets of the constitution and the oath he swore on 29 May 2023?

Oath of Office of President

I, .............. do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communication or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God.

how has he used his smartness to successfully tackle corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

The only thing I'm expecting from Tinubu now is regionalism.
So that those dafts and dumbo's, wailing day and night can have the opportunity to turn their region to an El dorado.
Just as their worthless forefather did in the past, so much that he still prefer Mapo hall in Ibadan, to whatsoever they called such office, in his region.
Nigeria cannot continue to operate a unitary system of government and expect any serious development.
Regionalism is the way out, so that each region can develop at their own pace.

do you even know the system of government nigeria is operating?

how is nigeria operating a unitary systems of government?

regionalism is the way out of what?

what is stopping "each region" from developing at their own pace?

which regionalism are you still looking for that nigeria does not already have?

Make dem cry well well

Truly, Tinubu destroyed many things, but he still got a lot to destroy.

He destroyed the Fuel Subsidy Cartel and the evil FOREX Cartel that held Nigerians hostage for several decades. General Abdulsalami Abubakar could not destroy them, Major General Olusegun Obasanjo couldn’t destroy them, Major General Muhammadu Buhari couldn’t destroy them, Alhaji Umar Yar’Adua couldn’t destroy them, Deacon Goatluck Jonathan will not even dream of it, but Civilian Field Marshal Emilokan JAGABAN destroyed them in the first 30 minutes in power.

Tinubu destroyed the evil State Governors that have held the local governments hostage and looted local government money since states were created in after the civil war, all successive governments could not set the local governments FREE, but Tinubu did it overnight. Tinubu arm twisted the State Governors and set the Local Governments FREE by paying LG allocations directly to LG accounts. What a destructive destruction by JAGABAN

who are these "Fuel Subsidy Cartel and the evil FOREX Cartel that held Nigerians hostage for several decades"?

can you pls give me their names?

how did tinubu respect the autonomy of states in handling the rivers state issue?

is rivers state free?

why has tinubu not yet destroyed corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

Pastor Eno Jerry EZE posts video of working out in gym without her husband. She decides to wear tight fitting leggings with a small top. Her body shape was in full glare for everyone to see. A male gym instructor’s hand was seen supporting her back during one of the sessions.

Could this be a way of getting back at her husband who is fond of going to the gym alone in skimpy outfits and seen praying for scantily dressed ladies?
Is this a case of do me as I do you, man no go vex? Is this a way of subtly telling Pastor Jerry, that it’s time to set up a gym at home?

I pray this government should. It's as if you don't understand the damage previous government has done to Nigeria.

what is the damage that the previous APC government has done to Nigeria?

can you list those damages?

are you saying that Buhari failed woefully?

is it the same buhari that tinubu told said was the "only solution" to nigeria's problems?

are you saying that tinubu lied to nigerians or are you lying about tinubus performance in office?

tinubu said that he will continue from where buhari stopped.

if you are saying buhari did much damage to nigeria as an excuse for tinubus failure, why did tinubu say that he will continue from where buhari stopped?

were nigerian not also informed that buhari was trying to make things better that the pain nigerians were going thru was just temporary?

how come tinubu has continued with unleashing more pain?

are they in office to cause pain? is that what the constitution asked them to do?

how come you are giving excuses for tinubu when the same tinubu said the following about jonathan?

From Hunger to Hope: Reflecting on Nigeria’s Journey Since “Ebi n Pawa”

“Ebi n pawa!” That expression — “We are hungry” — wasn’t just a complaint two years ago. It was a cry from the soul of a nation. It echoed from Lagos to Kano, Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. You didn’t need a microphone to hear it; it was in the faces of mothers at the market, fathers at the bus stop, young men on the streets, and children waiting for meals that never came. It became the anthem of pain, the chorus of a people grappling with the shock of sweeping reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his very first week in office.

Nigeria was in turmoil, not because the policies were necessarily wrong, but because their timing hit a society already living on the edge. So the question we now face — two years later — is both urgent and fair: Are we still that hungry?

Back in May 2023, when Tinubu took the reins of power, the foundation of the Nigerian economy was cracked. No, not cracked — shattered. The nation was drowning in debt, most of it incurred not for building railways or factories, but for paying salaries, maintaining a fuel subsidy that lined the pockets of the rich, and defending an artificial exchange rate that stifled growth.

What the new president inherited was more than a moribund economy; it was a ticking time bomb. Oil had already been sold forward, meaning Nigeria was effectively broke. There was no money coming in from crude exports — our primary source of income — because it had been mortgaged in advance.

The previous administration of Buhari had quietly printed money, devaluing the naira without the courtesy of telling the public. But Tinubu couldn’t cry foul too loudly — some of those who caused this mess were his political allies.

He could have chosen the path of least resistance, the usual Nigerian way: kick the can down the road and pretend everything was fine. But he didn’t. In one of the boldest opening acts in Nigerian political history, he removed the fuel subsidy.

Suddenly, the price of fuel tripled. Transporters raised fares. Traders hiked prices. Even sachet water vendors felt the pinch. The people who were already struggling now felt like they were suffocating. The frustration was real, and so was the anger. Social media went ablaze. Protests flared. Opposition voices got louder. “Ebi n pawa!” they cried — and rightly so.

But that wasn’t the end of the storm. Next came the unification of the exchange rate. Nigeria had operated a dual-rate system for years, one for the privileged few who accessed dollars at official rates, and another for the rest of us who scrambled for forex in the black market. It was a system ripe for corruption, creating billionaires overnight while choking real businesses.

By merging the rates, Tinubu wiped away a major incentive for fraud. It wasn’t smooth — it never is. The naira plunged. The cost of imported goods spiked. But this was the price of honesty, of facing the truth about how things really were.

So, yes, we were hungry. But that hunger wasn’t just about food. It was about the pain that comes with correction — the sting of necessary surgery. The old system was bleeding us dry, and for once, someone decided to stitch the wound instead of just covering it up with another bandage.

Fast forward two years, and the picture is beginning to shift. No, it’s not yet paradise. Inflation is still biting. Prices of rice and garri still bring tears to the eyes. But compared to the chaos of 2023, we’re not where we used to be. Take a closer look — not with emotions, but with the eyes of understanding — and the signs of progress become clear.

Today, Nigeria has exited the IMF debtors’ list. That’s not just a statistic — it’s proof that we are no longer borrowing just to survive. The Tinubu administration cleared a $1.61 billion debt and restored Nigeria’s credibility on the global stage. Foreign investors are watching, and they’re starting to return. The stock market is booming. When he took over, the All Share Index stood at 55,738 points. Now, it’s over 103,000. Market capitalization has crossed ₦63 trillion. That’s not magic — it’s investor confidence fueled by clearer, bolder policies.

And what about infrastructure? The fuel subsidy money is no longer going into the pockets of oil marketers. It's now being used to build things we can see — roads, rail lines, and power projects that matter to everyday life. The Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund is not just a slogan; it’s real. The foundations are being laid for a stronger, more connected Nigeria.

Tinubu's federal government has embark on major road construction and rehabilitation projects across all geopolitical zones, from the Abuja- Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Dual Carriageway, the 9th Mile-Oturkpo-Makurdi Road, the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Abuja-Lokoja-Benin Road, Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Oyo-OgbomosoRoad, Sokoto-Badagry Road, Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, Second Niger Bridge Access Road to Bodo-Bonny Road among hundreds of ongoing road projects across the country.

Let’s talk food. Yes, hunger still exists. But the grip of the grain cartels — those faceless hoarders who manipulated scarcity for profit — has been broken. When the price of rice soared beyond ₦100,000, Tinubu’s team didn’t just watch. They acted. Tariffs on food imports were suspended. Mechanized farming equipment was imported from the US, Brazil, and Belarus. Local farmers received incentives.

Gradually, food production is rising. The goal is clear: Nigeria must feed itself. The youth have not been left out. From the Skill-Up Artisans Programme to the National Youth Talent Export initiative, young Nigerians are being prepared to compete globally.

NYSC members now earn ₦77,000, up from ₦33,000. That’s not just a raise — it’s dignity restored. And for those struggling with tuition, the Student Loan Scheme now offers real hope. No one should drop out because they can’t afford fees, and that’s the message this administration is sending.

Even the average Nigerian can now dream of owning appliances or even a car through the Consumer Credit Corporation. Over ₦200 billion has been set aside so that ordinary citizens can buy goods and pay over time. For a country where “cash and carry” was once the only way, this is revolutionary.

Security is still a challenge, yes, but there’s movement. The military has been better equipped. Inter-agency coordination has improved. Kidnappings haven’t disappeared, but many sleeper cells have been dismantled. The approach is shifting — not just guns, but intelligence and strategy.
Revenue?

In just six months of 2024, government revenue rose by ₦9.1 trillion. That’s more than double what we had in the same period the year before. And for the first time, all three levels of government — federal, state, and local — are receiving steady, increased allocations. That means more power to the grassroots, where change is most visible.

Wages have gone up too. The new national minimum wage stands at ₦70,000. Not everyone in the informal sector is feeling it yet, but it's a signal — that this government recognizes the dignity of labor and is ready to walk the talk.

Still, let’s not pretend that all is well. Many Nigerians are tired. The pain of the past two years is real. Prices are still high. The naira still needs more stability. And the wounds from the fuel subsidy removal are still fresh in many homes.

But transformation is never painless. It comes with dislocation. It requires sacrifice. And it demands patience. What Nigeria is undergoing is not just reform — it’s a full-blown economic reset. We’ve moved from illusion to reality, from quick fixes to long-term solutions. It hurts now, but it heals later.

And so we return to that haunting slogan: “Ebi n pawa.” Are we still hungry? Not in the same way. We are no longer hungry because of hopelessness; we are hungry because we are in transition. We are adjusting. We are healing. And we are learning to live in a system that finally tells the truth.

The hunger of 2023 was panic — confusion in the face of sudden change. The hunger of 2025 is different. It is the hunger of a nation finding its feet, discovering its strength, and realizing that growth is a process. But processes need time. Buildings need completion. Foundations need walls and roofs. We cannot afford to abandon the journey at halftime. President Tinubu has started something bold — something rare in our history. He didn’t play to the gallery. He played for the future. Now that we see the first fruits, do we go back to the same policies that brought us to the brink? Or do we press on?

Let’s be honest with ourselves: for any meaningful reform to succeed, continuity is key. Interrupting this process in 2027 would be like removing a doctor halfway through surgery and expecting a miracle. Nigeria cannot afford to go back to subsidy games, dual exchange rates, and lazy borrowing. The path is tough, yes. But it’s also clear. And with Tinubu at the wheel, the destination is visible.

So, no — we are not as hungry as we were. We are still hungry, but now with hope, with direction, and with purpose. We are no longer lost. We are no longer blind. We know where we’re going. And if we truly want to see the end of this hunger — not just a temporary fix but a lasting solution — then we must let this government finish what it started.

Come 2027, we must not change direction for the sake of change. We must hold on to the one leadership bold enough to break the old and build the new. Because what Nigeria needs is not just another election — what it needs is consistency, courage, and continuity.

you say "food production is rising". can you tell me what it was before and what it is now that you say it is rising?

was there any time nigeria had a food production problem?

if you say that tinubus "sweeping reforms" have brought hunger and you feel the hunger is justified, is tinubu and his family experiencing the hunger?

if you say that "But that hunger wasn’t just about food. It was about the pain that comes with correction — the sting of necessary surgery", is tinubu and his family experiencing this "pain that comes with correction"?

according to you "Fast forward two years, and the picture is beginning to shift. No, it’s not yet paradise. Inflation is still biting. Prices of rice and garri still bring tears to the eyes. But compared to the chaos of 2023, we’re not where we used to be. Take a closer look — not with emotions, but with the eyes of understanding — and the signs of progress become clear."

if you say "Inflation is still biting. Prices of rice and garri still bring tears to the eyes", then which picture are you saying is beginning to shift?

which "signs of progress" are you saying is becoming clearer? since you are looking with the eyes of understanding and not with emotions, can identify and list these signs of progress?

you said that "Yes, hunger still exists. But the grip of the grain cartels — those faceless hoarders who manipulated scarcity for profit — has been broken. When the price of rice soared beyond ₦100,000, Tinubu’s team didn’t just watch. They acted. Tariffs on food imports were suspended. Mechanized farming equipment was imported from the US, Brazil, and Belarus. Local farmers received incentives."

which incentives did local farmers receive?

if all you mentioned was done, how come you are still saying "hunger still exists"?

who are these "faceless hoarders"? are they ghosts?

if you say that "the grip of the grain cartels — those faceless hoarders who manipulated scarcity for profit — has been broken", how come the same you is still saying that "hunger still exists"? is the breaking of the grip of the cartels not supposed to stop hunger?

even your tinubu on May 1, 2025 still said there is hunger and hardship caused by his doing. so what exactly are you writing these plenty words when things have gotten worse under tinubu?

you said "But transformation is never painless. It comes with dislocation. It requires sacrifice."

Tinubu, shettima, federal legislators, state governors, state legislators, tinubus ministers like Wike, senior military and security chiefs all enjoy free feeding at home and abroad, free transportation at home and abroad, free fuel, free security at home and abroad, free phone calls at home and abroad, free accommodation at home and abroad, free medicare at home and abroad, free electricity at home and abroad, free clothing at home and abroad, free newspapers, free internet at home and abroad, free dstv for themselves and their families.

can you tell me the sacrifice that tinubu and his family are making?

you claim that "We are no longer hungry because of hopelessness; we are hungry because we are in transition. We are adjusting. We are healing. And we are learning to live in a system that finally tells the truth".

please who are the "we"?

which truth are you talking about?

is it the "truth" that said PH refinery was working and producing fuel only for it to be reported later that the refinery has not produced a single drop of fuel or kerosene despite tinubu and bayo onanuga saying that the refinery is working?

what does it mean to be "hungry because we are in transition"?

what are the "we" adjusting to and healing from?

is there anywhere in the constitution that provides for a government to deliberately put the people of nigeria in hunger and hardship all in the name of reforms? where in the constitution is such permitted?

if you say that "We must hold on to the one leadership bold enough to break the old and build the new. Because what Nigeria needs is not just another election — what it needs is consistency, courage, and continuity", how has this leadership been bold enough to tackle corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?
