what reward are you referring?

is election an exercise that confers reward?

how is "without winning you are no longer a senator" the purpose of a senator?

Damseldammie:
Because I never expected this kind of statement from a whole senate president🤦‍♀️It’s shameful. I wonders why he always put his mouth in motion before his brain is in break 😏oh wrong

you are the one expecting too much from him that is why you are disappointed. first of all, is akpabio fit and does he have the character to hold public office like councilor in this country?

is it because he occupies an office that you think that he will display the character that comes with the office?

like I said, he just told you what him, tinubu and the remaining political elite have discussed about nigerians.

The President just needs to be very careful this time around. He just needs to think outside the box to quickly address these issues at hand. I wish him the best of luck.

Hello everyone. For you guys who are based overseas and need somebody to run errands for you in Nigeria, I am 100% available for you. You can chat with me on my WhatsApp for more info. 0706 1205 678. I am ready to serve you better. Thank you.

Why don't you tell tinubu to patronise your business?

flokii:
One peculiar thing I like about this PBAT's tenure is the fact that all three arms of Government i.e. Executive (President), Legislature (National Assembly) and Judiciary (SC, HC etc) are in sync.

When do sotey we tire, we can all agree to dissolve the union without fight.

Are they supposed to be in sync?

RepoMan007:
Why didn't they demand these under Buhari govt?

Oil money is not so much anymore.

.
If oil is not so much anymore, which one was used to build 12billon naira house for shettima and which one did akpabio say they will be eating?

hotseat:
This so-called Northern elders are barefaced hypocrites!



For 8 good years, they kept mute while their Northern brother, Buhari wrecked the economy.



Keen observers knew that whoever would take over from the "lifeless one" as nicknamed by Donald Trump was bound to confront excruciating difficulties.



At the time Tinubu came into office, the economy had already run aground.



Tinubu, perhaps, didn't take into consideration the enormity of the challenges ahead of him because he was blinded by the strange ailment called "emilokan".


.

Now, he knows better!




Could someone tell those Northern elders to: "go look bush"?






@hotseat

But tinubu said he will continue from were buhari stopped.

Did he not know that the economy qaa bad when he was contesting?

sleek214:
This protest is produced in the North, Directed in the North and promoted by Obidients

So it's no longer obi that is producing and directing the protests

What changed?

TimeManager:
Atiku paid hacks, powered by Sahara Reporters.

-Kiss the truth!

I thought it was obi that was sponsoring the protest.

So it's no longer obi. It's now atiku

Cromagnon:
What does better life have to do with winning election

What is an election?

What is the purpose of an election?

What is the purpose of a senator?

AmiableMosquito:
The President is doing a lot but the media needs to amplify the efforts of the Presidency.


Let me use this opportunity to introduce you all to the Citizens' Assembly. This is an initiative of the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagements (North Central). The Citizens' Assembly is a platform created to bring the government closer to the people. It aims to bridge the disconnect between the government and the people.

Let the government know your immediate concerns in your community through the Citizens Assembly and these issues will be escalated to the highest authorities for swift resolution.

Together, let's co-create the society we desire.

God bless Nigeria

how can you amplify what does not exist except you just want to lie? zero times any number is zero. zero time one billion is zero.

1. Tinubu created centres across the country where Nigerians can purchase a 50kg bag of rice for N40,000.

can you pls list the centres that have been created across the country and their various locations across the country?

after buying the rice, what will people use to eat the rice?

for how long will the centres be open?

is rice the solution to every problem as far as tinubu is concerned?

what happened to the rice the customs was selling where an APC woman died?

why is customs no longer selling the rice?

2. Tinubu directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to sell crude to the Dangote refinery and other upcoming refineries in naira.

how will this have effect on the price of petrol?

if the government can release 12billion naira to build a house for one person, why should it wait for dangote refinery before doing something about the price of fuel?

3. He met with governors from the All Progressives Congress, under the aegis of the Progressives Governors Forum at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to discuss the growing calls for nationwide protests against economic hardship.

what is the effect of the meeting and how does the meeting address the concerns of the protesters? is it the same state governors that are implementing various measures to ensure the protest does not take place in their states?

4. Although Tinubu had earlier announced that he may stop the importation of import duties on food and essential commodities, Tinubu suspended import duties to cushion the effect of the inflationary trend in Nigeria. On Monday, he removed the duties on the food importation.

why did the previous removal of import duties not reflect in prices of goods? if the previous directive had no effect, why will this one have any effect?

5. The President held emergency meetings with prominent traditional rulers and Ulamas (Islamic religious scholars) at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja as part of efforts by the government to ensure the planned hunger protest, slated for August 1 to 10, is averted nationwide.

what is the effect of the meeting? will it improve the living condition of nigerians?

6. FG unveiled the Youth Internship Scheme initiated by the NDDC for 10,000 youths of the Niger Delta region and approved N50,000 monthly stipends for them.

what the hell is this?

how long will they be paid this 50k? what criteria will be used to select these 10,000 youths?

are there only 10,000 youths in the entire niger delta?

i thought they said tinubu is brilliant? how come the only thing he knows is sharing money?

7. The Nigerian Communications Commission has directed telecommunications operators to immediately restore all blocked phone lines due to the non-linkage of National Identification Numbers to SIM cards.

ho is this related to the protest when the government had much earlier in the year directed that telcos disconnect people's lines?

8. President Bola Tinubu, on Monday, signed the new Minimum Wage Act into law.
during jonathans time that tinubu said was not good, 70k could buy 7bags of rice. now tinubus minimum wage cant buy 1 bag of rice and he said jonathan needed to be removed from office thru revolution.

what is the value of this minimum wage?

press9jatv:
What we crave up for is the security of the peaceful protesters worldwide in Nigeria 🇳🇬

what we crave for is security of lives and property. if the government was proactive and always deployed like this to fight crime, will there be need for protest?

aylipple:
@ bolded was just one negative trait about Akpabio I highlighted less than a fortnight ago.

I'll add now that SP Godswill Akpabio should henceforth (i.e if he hasn't been making this prayer a part of his daily routine already) pray to God every day to bridle his tongue because it's so obvious that's one aspect of his life he doesn't have control over.

you guys dont see the advantage of a person like Akpabio. akpabio leaks secrets. while other leaders lie that they are doing the right thing, akpabio leaks the contents of the discussions they have in private.

what he just said is not an accident. he just told you what him, tinubu and the political elite discussed about nigerians

Damseldammie:
What a CARELESS TALK from a so called senate president of a nation🤔who does not know how to talk❓

Shame on you😏

Shaking my head

its not careless. he knows exactly what he said. he just told you what him, tinubu and the remaining political elite have discussed about nigerians.

why are you surprised and offended?

onyxo76:
he never seems to say anything meaningful most times

the comment he made is a very meaningful. you are the one that does not see it that way.

he just told you what him, tinubu and the remaining political elite have discussed about nigerians.

why are you surprised and offended?

Sparrk007:
Foolish man with loose mouth

you people dont understand. akpabio is good at exposing the mindset of the ruling class and the way they think. what akpabio did was to tell nigerians a little of the kind of discussion he has had with tinubu and the rest of the ruling class.

pls dont be surprised. he just told you the reality

benuejosh:
Okay.

In Nigeria, the protest is as a result of bad state actors who are feeling pained that the election conducted didn't bring them to power even when some came distant third position.

There is hunger in the land. Yes it is true, but what have the individuals done about it? did hunger start today? have they gone to farm? they blame the government and i ask, define government. Are the masses not the authority? are they not the ones who sent people to represent them? What have they done to support those they sent to represent them? If they are hungry they should go to farm and not allow themselves to be used with hunger as an excuse or tool to be used by those who lost out of election to cause chaos.

The rot of over 16 years cannot be cured by just 1 and half year of Tinubu in government. Peter Obi had 8 years as governor of a state yet left Anambra as one of the worst state in terms of development and governance.

Those behind the protest are only calling for anarchy and chaos to make this administration unstable.

Even if the protest ends, untill the farmers harvest their crops, there's nothing that can be done about the hunger. Government can not farm to feed the whole nation. Most Nigerians want everything to be given to them freely without them working for it.

Minimum was increased to about N30k Abia state and Benue that i am aware of were still paying workers about N18k till date. But it is the federal government that they want to blame. Even if it is increased to 200k, federal government will pay her own workers but will the state government pay their workers? will the private sector pay? are the protesters protesting against their state government or against Tinubu? The man -Tinubu- has increased minimum wage. Ask your state governors to implement it and lets see.

Traders in the market are increasing prices in the market at will, are they protesting against those traders? but it is Tinubu that is increasing prices.
We need to be wise as a people in this country.
The call for anarchy should be resisted by all means and those supporting it should be brought to book.

For me, i am not protesting because the protest is just a call for anarchy. The government is working round the clock to make sure things work out for good.

Don't allow hatred for a particular ethnic group to cloud your sense of reasoning.

Tinubu is working!

which rot of 16years are you referring to?

who is responsible for the rot?

if you say those calling for protest are calling for anarchy, is it anarchy tinubu was calling for in this video when he called for protest against jonathan?

how is the government working round the clock?

akpabio said “Those who want to protest can protest, but let us be here eating…”

how does that show that the government is working round the clock?

1. Tinubu created centres across the country where Nigerians can purchase a 50kg bag of rice for N40,000.

SP Akpabio should respect his position and stop insulting we the masses.

akpabio is not insulting. he just being bold enough to tell nigerians what him, tinubu and the remaining political elite have discussed about nigerians

ddippset:
How many silly comments would Akpabio make?

From one silly comment to another and to another!

It's like this man is perpetually drunk or perpetually on drugs!

its like you people dont understand. Akpabio just told you what him, tinubu and the remaining political elite discuss indoors among themselves. he has helped all the dullard doubting thomases to understand the mindset of the leaders they are still expecting from.


unfortunately, many will still not understand what akpabio was trying to say

DevilsEqual:


To be honest, he's taken alot of steps since a week now or so and I'm even impressed with all of that cause it shows he's willing to do anything to ease the hardship. It means he's not clueless

sulaak:
There is not enough farmland in Nigeria for poor people with 4 wives and 14 children to survive. Nigeria cannot depend on small scall farmer to meet the need of 220 million people and counting.

that is not what I asked.

1. Who said anything about the poor man blaming anybody?

2. That is why I said you should read what dele Momodu said.

3. Dele Momodu said "Who is more productive, the politician who steals the sweats and resources of the citizens or the poor man who sends his many poor wives and children to the farmlands to grow crops for everyone of us?"

4. The key there is "productive". I don't see were you addressed the issue of productivity in the question.

5. So how is d poor man who who sends his many poor wives and children to the farmlands to grow crops for everyone of us not more productive than the politician?

6. How is the politician who steals the sweats and resources of the citizens to maintain several girlfriends more productive than the poor man?

7. How is Nigeria suffering from the consequences of over population?

8. What is overpopulation?

sulaak:
What food? The North is starving, and Nigeria is importing for food.

that is not what I asked you.

1. If you say the north is unproductive, where does virtually all the food we consume in Nigeria come from?

2. From your highlighted comment, are you saying the south is productive?

3. How is the south productive?

AntiChristian:
It does if you can answer it.

Though it was rhetoric!

how does that answer the question....how was it not destined?

NewHe:
I watched the interview and there's no where Ayo Fayose talked about a poor man being productive or not but that such guy with 4wives and 14children living on minimum salary of N34,000 as what in government house!
My brother, politicians knows how to twist events to suit their purposes.
If the guy has farmland with 4wives and 14children, of course that's a productive one but are you sure People like Fayose are also not contributing to Nigeria productive economy?
The use of girlfriends is a distraction, does he keeps them for long? Also, let's assume those girls too are being rewarded and whom in turn use the money for productive ventures!
Someone with resources..like Fayose.
sic.. is likely to be more productive in agriculture than a poor man with ostensibly self inflicted bad lifestyle!

1. Who said anything about the poor man blaming anybody?

2. That is why I said you should read what dele Momodu said.

3. Dele Momodu said "Who is more productive, the politician who steals the sweats and resources of the citizens or the poor man who sends his many poor wives and children to the farmlands to grow crops for everyone of us?"

4. The key there is "productive". I don't see were you addressed the issue of productivity in the question.

5. So how is d poor man who who sends his many poor wives and children to the farmlands to grow crops for everyone of us not more productive than the politician?

6. How is the politician who steals the sweats and resources of the citizens to maintain several girlfriends more productive than the poor man?

7. How is Nigeria suffering from the consequences of over population?

8. What is overpopulation?

AntiChristian:
Why can't you be as rich as Dangote?

Because it is not destined to be so, at least as at this seconds!

how does that answer the question....how was it not destined?
