Tinubu E-rats, it's Time For you people to attack the yoruba prophet, I'm happy this Truth is coming from a Yoruba Pastor,

The suffering will be 8yrs because tinubu must complete his two terms like Buhari and after that, we will use Inec chairman mammud to select another criminal From The North to continue from where Tinubu stop,

Igbo's must be thought a lesson according to fools like Madrid-guy, mannaqbgrills, yarimo and Helinues.
those guys have been quiet recently. sometimes tinubus failure is not easy to defend

trutharena:
Primate Ayodele should have more faith in our president. Tinubu is a man of action, and I believe he will turn things around for us. Let's give him the chance to prove the doubters wrong!
indeed tinubu is a man of action. let us see some of his actions.

dollar from 700naira to 1600
bag of rice from 30,000 to 80,000
inflation from 22.79% to 40.7%
from june 2023 to december 2023, tinubu borrowed N3.8tr despite his imaginary savings he said he has made from removing fuel subsidy. the same subsidy he fought jonathan not to remove.

he has really turned things around. which turning around are you still expecting? grin grin cheesy cheesy

let us see below what he said about jonathan even though jonathan was doing much better than tinubu is presently doing:

11th January, 2012

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.
He, however, provided a window out of the crisis: if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.
“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.
“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”
But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.
“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour. The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”
But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.
“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office. The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities. People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind.”
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed, he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken.
“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”
The former governor however counselled protesters to go about the protests in a peaceful manner, and to eschew all forms of violence.

APC supporters are one the reason why the president is failing. What's hard in telling him his policies are counterproductive, but you keep praising counterproductive policies. Same way you praised buhari for 8 unproductive years till it all dawn on you that the economy has been destroyed and battered.
Proverbs 29:12

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi is still searching for solutions in his endless rants.

Instead of focusing on the progress being made, they prefer to wallow in negativity.

How about we give Tinubu a chance to prove the naysayers wrong?

Or are they just scared that he will succeed and put their empty promises to shame?
who made made "empty promises"? grin cheesy cheesy grin

why are you adding to tinubus disgrace on a daily basis?

is it tinubu that has already failed that anybody will be scared if he succeeds?

how can tinubu succeed when his only agenda is "emilokan"?

The protest in Lagos is only serious on nairaland and on other Social Media. It was the day 3 (Saturday) that exposed everything. This is the reason the military is calling for media blackout of the protest. What you have on Social Media is just propaganda.

The purpose of propaganda is to instigate crisis in other States. Propaganda made BIAFRA war to last longer than necessary and made so many innocent people to die.

how has tinubu done his best?

even with withdrawal of subsidy, has it stopped tinubu from borrowing?

from june 2023 to december 2023, are you aware that tinubu borrowed N3tr?

are you aware that there is already another $500m tinubu has recently borrowed from AfDB?

who are those that you say are living large?

is it the people or politicians?

can you tell me when in your entire life you have lived large because of the money borrowed by the government?

is building a house for N21billion for shettima not living large?

how come you dont see anything wrong with politicians spending so much on themselves but you feel it is wrong for the citizens to enjoy the wealth of this country?

are you aware that tinubu, his vp, his ministers, members of the national assembly all enjoy free food, free accommodation, free transportation, free medicare all at home and abroad for themselves and their families, free security, free fuel, free clothing all at the expense of the country?

is this not living large?

that is not what I asked you.

all you have said, is that not what the protest was about?

how has this increased allocation made life better for nigerians compared to the subsidy that previously held down the price of fuel?

where are you going to get accountability from your politicians?

have previously obtained accountability from them in anything?

is it nw that allocation increased that they will be accountable?

who are these rent seekers?

if you say the increased allocation "represents what was largely unaccounted hitherto and embezelled by rent seekers", has the increased allocation not been embezzled?

If Tunibu decides to remove the subsidy, it would make him seem like the most incompetent president ever. But I know how brave Tunibu is, and I believe no amount of criticism will stop him from pushing Nigeria forward. Thanks.

Removing the subsidy is their main demand because the people behind this protest are the ones benefiting from it, and they want it back to drain Nigeria even more.

This decision is the right move to improve Nigeria. We've already seen how he increased the allocation by 41%. I can't understand what these people are thinking when they say Timangu is on the wrong path.


To make Nigeria better, everyone needs to make sacrifices. What you eat is your responsibility than the government's. Let that really sink in.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.
He, however, provided a window out of the crisis: if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.
“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.
“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”
But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.
“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour. The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”
But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.
“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office. The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities. People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind.”
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed, he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken.
“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”
The former governor however counselled protesters to go about the protests in a peaceful manner, and to eschew all forms of violence.

You said there is an increase of 41% in allocation. Definitely the increase is coming from the removed subsidy. That increase represents what was largely unaccounted hitherto and embezelled by rent seekers. Left to me let subsidy remain removed but we need to demand more accountability from our politicians. Allowances of senators and ministers must be curtailed. No more secrecy in what they earn as allowance. How can

No be him sabi anything about governance, na only for mouth him dey shine.
i honestly didnt know that peter obi is so powerful. so peter obi just mobilised the SW and almost the entire north to protest. then if we do election today, peter obi will win tinubu. thanks for letting us know how influential obi is.

since you obi does not know anything about governance, tinubu that is in office how has he demonstrated that he anything abut governance?
