No wonder SIM was disgraced like a madman for market.

Assembly members you no hold.
House of Rep members you no hold.
Senators 4 Rivers State you no hold.
LG Chairmen & Councilors you no hold.
Even ur state party chairman is against you.

That niqqa is truly clueless.

what constitutional powers does a sole administrator have to make a budget for a state?

who will approve it?

from the above, does that not make it obvious that we are saying the same thing?

how does all your emotional outburst negate the following or answer my questions?

"he is good at playing dark politics" because most nigerians like you are more obsessed with politics than governance.

you want to be able to permutate while they keep stealing and do nothing for you as a citizen.

instead of admiring if tinubu is good at playing politics, why not focus on whether he is good at governance?

is that not why he occupies a political office?

[/b]Your last statement is exactly the point USA is trying to make. That is the increase in tariffs that they are implementing. U.S is currently going to charge China 54% to balance the 67% tarrif on U.S goods, simple and short.... Basic Economics

1. it is the US that threatening countries with tariffs. how then are the countries the US is threatening the ones looking at it as a trade war?

2. does the US "look at the partnership"?

you called it "cheating".

Chienex24:
They should ist look at the partnership and find out if they are actually cheating the USA before responding appropriately

3. how is that cheating?

4. was it China that told the US to charge 34% on chinese imports to the US?

Iweakbro:
1. did the US threaten all the countries it is presently threatening before it imposed this round of tariffs?

Yes, prior to imposing the recent round of tariffs on April 2, 2025, the United States, under President Donald Trump, issued explicit warnings and threats to several countries regarding potential tariff implementations. These warnings were part of the administration's broader strategy to address perceived trade imbalances and policy disagreements.​

2. If the US imposes more tariffs and other countries retaliate again, who loses?

Consumers will lose as there will higher cost of goods. Manufacturers will lose as there will be higher costs of production. The level of loss will be relative. But Jo particular winner or loser since US exports will also be hit. Also, some coup tries may want to shift alliances to mitigate the brunt of the tariffs.


3. The US is the biggest market for which guys?

Mexico: 80% of Mexico's exports go to the US.

Canada: 75% of their export goes to the US.

China, EU, Japan, South Korea, India, Taiwan, Brazil, etc.

4. what are the high tariffs that "these guys" place on US goods?

China 25% tariffs, Aricuktjral produce, automobile, chemicals, etc.

India: 100% tariffs on automobiles and 50% tariffs on some products.

EU places 10 to 25% on certain products like Agricultural products, machinery, automobiles, aircraft, and their parts.

5. what are the goods in question

1. several countries does not mean "all countries".

2. will the US consumers and manufacturers be affected by these losses?

3. bro, apart from china, canada and mexico, how is the US the biggest market for the other countries?

is mexico not 77% instead of 80%?

does the US not make considerable exports to these countries?

4. does the US also import Aricuktjral produce, automobile, chemicals, machinery, automobiles, aircraft, and their parts etc.?

what are the tariffs the US imposes for these imports?

Chienex24:
You are really very funny. Do you think U.S just woke up to harass countries with tariffs?? Previous arrangements have been made or overlooked by previous administrations, especially the democrats.

U.S has been taken advantage of over the years with plenty of evidences actually, just that the strong U.s economy has been able to weather the storm over the years.

China imposed about 67% of tarrifs on U.S imports while U S charged china 34% on imports as at 2024, which is almost half of what U S charged them, with a deficit of over 200 billion dollars. This is just one out of many examples, including the European union.

1. why is the US not looking at the previous arrangement as a balance of trade?

2. it is the US that threatening countries with tariffs. how then are the countries the US is threatening the ones looking at it as a trade war?

3. does the US "look at the partnership"?

4. how is that cheating?

was it China that told the US to charge 34% on chinese imports to the US?

I did not see Nigeria on the list. Thanks to baba Tinubu.

tnx to him for what?

abbey621:
Whether generosity or annimosity, the new president is correcting the mistakes......So nobody should have a problem with a country choosing to focus on itself rather than policing the world!

which of my questions asked you about policing anyone?

who asked the US to give in the first place?

from all that the US was giving, was it giving because it loved the beneficiaries of its generosity?

Iweakbro:
Okay. Do your research. All the countries that got slammed with tariffs placed a form of tariff on US goods.

Secondly, each country has where they shine the most. The US exports most of its oil, cos its refinery is mostly calibrated for heavy crude, but the crude in the us soil is light. So they export light crude, electronics, vehicles, machinery, and wines majorly.

Europe exports machinery, grains, foods, electronics, etc.

The US is one of the biggest markets in China and Europe. China exports goods over 3 trillion dollars yearly, but $500 billion-plus are exported to the US then the other 2.5 trillion is split between Africa, Europe, and other continents. Now while China exports 500 billion-plus, they only import 200 billion-plus from the US. Are you seeing the problem?

The same goes for Europe and all those countries slammed with the tariffs. They all have a trade deficit with the US. Now this is not a good thing for US firms and manufacturers.

If you followed the replies of world leaders, you'll see they all want to negotiate the tariff butt only escalate if the US refuses.


The point for Trp setting up this tariff in his first term and now, is for negotiations to go on and for most of the deficits to be corrected.

If the US imposes more tariffs and other countries retaliate, there will be no winner
There will be a loss of revenue on both sides and inflation would follow. However, countries like China may be exceptionally affected since it takes huge money off the US market.

am doing my research by asking you.

1. did the US threaten all the countries it is presently threatening before it imposed this round of tariffs?

2. If the US imposes more tariffs and other countries retaliate again, who loses?

3. US is the biggest market for which guys?

4. what is the high tariffs that "these guys" place on US goods?

5. what are the goods in question?

They imposed half of what most countries are charging for American goods. By all means, it's fair enough. As for Canada, Mexico and China... There Will always be a diplomatic solution.

half of what? what is the tariff that you say most countries are charging for american goods?

if the other nations decide to take the "foolish route" just as canada, mexico and china did, what did the US do?

what are the tariffs being placed on US goods and which goods in question are you referring to?

what makes the route that the US has taken not be foolish?

That's not what I asked you. I asked if you think money freed up by the subsidy removal is enough to finance all projects required by Nigeria?

ceejayluv:
He's only advising them not to tow such foolish route. I don't think any nation would retaliate cos the American move was a brilliant gambit - they're charging half of what other countries are charging them... The Next step is for other countries to lower their tariff for American goods so in turn they can get a lower tariff for theirs. America wins.

what makes the route that the US has taken not be foolish?

if the other nations decide to take the "foolish route" just as canada, mexico and china did, what did the US do?

Course they will impose more tariff. The US is the biggest market for these guys. Yet they place high tariffs on US goods, creating huge trade deficits.

SmartPolician:
Somehow, I like that the US is taking this action because they keep giving and giving without asking for what they get in return and many countries are taking advantage of it without showing some form of gratitude.

It's just like Nigeria sending troops for peace-keeping mission across West African countries without Nigeria getting something in return, not even large quantities of diamonds. That's the most stupid foreign policy I have seen.

Kennyfancy:
The deal is fair, most of these countries are living off 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇸 is saying no, how can you put tariff at 99% against usa and you don't want same back

which country put 99% tariff on US goods and what goods are those?

Iweakbro:
Little Muslim kid. In 2024, the United States experienced a goods trade deficit of approximately $295.4 billion with China, marking a 5.8% increase from the $279.4 billion deficit recorded in 2023..

This is china alone... Let's start checking other countries.

if that is the case and the trump government is sure it is doing the right thing, why is the treasury secretary warning countries not to retaliate?

maasoap:
Why should I? Tell me the reason I should sympathise with her killer, ediot?


Why should I sympathise with the killers when my brain is not malfunctioning like yours? Are you normal at all? Are you sick mentally or something that makes you think I would sympathise with killers? Go back to sleep

maasoap:
They will never have peace again because they have murdered peace. And anyone who sympathise with arrested killers won't have peace too

do you sympathise with the killers who have continued killing and sacking villages in benue?

ambale:
He should look after his health in the country he said he's ruling now

And why should his spokesmen lie that he's on a working visit

What's working inna visit?😄

According to Bayo Onanuga:

"During the visit, the President will appraise his administration's midterm performance and assess key milestones."

this can only be done in France

seunayantokun:
Sowore dare not go after those using terrorists against southern Nigeria but always find it comfortable to find relevance in criticising his southern political opponents. This is not an honest way to power.

if you wanted him to "go after those using terrorists against southern Nigeria", why didnt you vote for him?

Bluntemperor:
Mr Sowore,alias Aluta Master - what is your Message,?
-We NIGERIANS know the way of Our Leaders and that is why we have been calling that the established a First Class Hospital Of Same Manner - that Our Former Presidents and President Tinubu will All be Attending here in Nigeria- For it will help us save Humongous FOREX Money.
Secondly,it helps to Promote Medical Tourism all over Nigeria and Africa 🌍 , including Our Governors- Past and Present - who are Following the Presidents of Our Country.

I thought that there is already a hospital in aso rock that cost billions to build and equip?

michroskrve:
Nobody listen to you anymore. You can't win your polling unit. You want to be president of Nigeria . Mumu

if you dont listen to him, why are you on this thread?

yarimo:
Omoyele Sowore are you immune to sickness or death ?

did bayo onanuga say that tinubu is sick?

Onanuga said tinubu is going to france for a "working visit" which will enable him assess the performance of his government from France.

where did you get your information that tinubu is sick hence his trip to France?

if you are saying that tinubu is sick, is there no public hospital like LASUTH that he can go for medical attention?
