Lionessza6:
One thing I have come to notice over time is that the "most welcoming countries " are usually countries that people aren't interested in living in or visiting much hence the people there even prefer strangers over their own kind. Or countries mostly dependent on tourism.

The most selective :" wicked" "racist" " xenophobic " countries are usually the most sort after by visitors and migrants.

Even in dating .....the more beautiful and well-off a woman is ,the more she becomes selective; " wicked" " unpleasant " to the suitors coming her way in every breathing moment ( both nice and rude). The less attractive a woman is ,the more friendlier she is to the few males that give her some attention ( both nice and rude) .

Something to think about .

what is usually the fate of "the more beautiful and well-off woman who becomes selective; "wicked" "unpleasant" to the suitors coming her way"

Bobloco:
He has responded, and as expected, deviated from the subject of discourse by dragging Peter Obi into it.

Putindbutt, all you need to answer is yes or no

Bobloco:
Is Kola Abiola amongst those you described as disgruntled elements?

Krismas:
He took the nation down memory lane about military annulment of an election, which was later awarded to the winner posthumous. Awarding openly all those who played a role in the saga with national honors.

in what way does "taking the nation down memory lane about military annulment of an election" now equate to "no other president has given a more relevant speech befitting June 12 than Tinubu's speech"?

Bobloco:
Is Kola Abiola amongst those you described as disgruntled elements?

when Putindbutt answers your question, please let me know

Putindbutt:
To you, everybody is hungry, even those who can comfortably feed you, you call them hungry but una dey on Twitter dey beg.

he asked a valid question.

Arostar2023:
Lol... everyone is looking for food to chop. Whose talking about integrity and principles here? If Abacha were still de alive and offers Abiola's kids some juicy job, do you think that they won't take it?

all you should have answered was simple yes or no.

what did the likes of Kingibe, Ebenezer Babatope and Olu Onagoruwa do when Abacha became Head of STate?

were they hungry men?

Krismas:
Democracy Day is June 12. Its Abiola day. And no other president has given a more relevant speech befitting June 12 than Tinubu's speech. What exactly on democracy, were you expecting him to speak about?
I don't know why Obidients are always full of complains?/

what did tinubu say in his speech on June 12 that made it the most relevant speech befitting June 12?

TimeManager:
It's so funny how vultures and hyenas are coming all out to concoct all kinds of lies and propaganda just for the aim of grabbing power. Does Sule Lamido expect President Tinubu to announce his name among the heros of Democracy and confer on him an award following his ignoble role during June 12 annulment?. That would amount to pissing on the graves of the heros of Democracy. Does Lamido think history can be revised or rewritten?, unfortunately, he will have to live and die with the memories of his actions dinning with the devil.

It is funny how opposition are saying all sorts thinking that's the only way to curry public sympathy for votes. It's funny hearing Obi say Nigeria economy is crumbling yet Fidelity Bank which he owns 10% equity is declaring humongous amount of billions, Obi as we speak is one of the largest single importer of consumer goods in Nigeria yet he claims the economy is crumbling. In another instances, he claimed democracy is dead yet he criticizes everything and goes scot free, the kind of statements he can never utter in Niger Republic or Burkina Faso and get away with it.

Ameachi says he is hungry after 24 years in the corridor of power but he is presently collecting retirement benefits as an ex speaker and former Governor, even being a former minister, he still enjoys certain privileges than an average Nigerian.

However, one surest thing is the FACT that all the gang ups, coalition and frivolities cannot stop Asiwaju as the annoited man. He has been there before, seen it, done it. All these are nothing but child's play. There's a popular saying that Tinubu no be GEJ, let that sink in.



-Kiss the truth!

what do you mean by "heroes of democracy"?

who are these "heroes of democracy"?

what makes them "heroes of democracy"?

Preferito:
This guy that was spewing bigotry allover twitter against the Yoruba tribe.

how is that related to the topic?

wellmax, you can also help out

WizardOfNG:
Mr.Repetitive question, do you know me from anywhere other than Nairaland?

according to you

WizardOfNG:
Husband and wife mentees of Tinubu, two of literaly thousands

1. How does cooking for tinubu now automatically make that person a mentee of tinubu?

2. Let me ask, why are you not one of the "thousands"? simple yes or no

WizardOfNG:
Kai !! This is too much . Husband and wife mentees of Tinubu, two of literaly thousands, who have gone on to produce restaurateur and hospitality sector benefit to all Nigerians, testifying positively for PBAT.

Where are the mentees of Atiku or Obi? Can't think of any for Atiku. With Obi only James Nwafor, Awkuzu SARs butcher, comes to mind.

God bless PBAT and give him at least 10 more years to complete two terms as President and then focus, for the rest of his years, on making the SW Nigeria what the human and material resources of the region indicate she should be.

How does cooking for tinubu now automatically make that person a mentee of tinubu?

Let me ask, why are you not one of the "thousands"?

Tjra:
He's an early achiever who has been Politically relevant since his 20s. He has paid his dues.

Down to 2025, we see old men in their 40s and 50s fooling themselves on Twitter and Nairaland instead of being useful to their generations.

How useful are you to your generation?

What are the dues tinubu has paid and how have those paid dues moved Nigeria forward?

jamafa:
U said nothing here.

Hatred will not take U anywhere

U can't benefit anything from hate.

Chai!

Can you identify for me the hate you referring to in the post you responded to?

PulaPower:
You sound like an Illiterate..

Kuku say it was Tinubu that planned all the coup wey happen for Niger, Burkina & others..

How does aminda sound like an illiterate?

What is an illiterate?

Since you don't sound like an illiterate, why can't you negate with facts what he said about tinubu?

TimeManager:
President Tinubu has written his name in gold as a leader who resisted undemocratic and unconstitutional regimes in Africa.. The next ECOWAS Chair must take up the baton and challenge any attempt at undemocratic change. Democracy has come to stay forever.


-Kiss the truth!

How did tinubu "resist" these undemocratic and unconstitutional regimes in Africa?

What makes tinubus regime democratic and constitutional?

How has tinubu upheld democratic ideals and obeyed the constitution since assuming office?

Chickensoup:
Nigeria is on autopilot. The army are capable and gallant however them too don tire. Funds to boost their moral and equipments are swooped away by politicians. We are yet to hear state of emergency in Benue because the governor can't protect his people.

Does our intelligence unit want to tell us that they don't know who is sponsoring all this attacks for how many years now?

Continuous cycle of evil and heartless leaders.

is robbery and kidnapping the job of the army?

Not enough original content

this is not possible.

tinubu has ordered the security chiefs to handle the situation.

infact he asked the IG why no one has been arrested.

that is leadership

helinues:
It's very annoying for people who don't even have any political relevant in their family not to talk about their street talking about regretting voting for president Tinubu in 2023.

Keep your inconsequential vote in 2027

are you saying that if a person must regret voting for tinubu, the person must first be politically relevant in their families and if they are not then they dont have a right to regret voting for tinubu?

are all the people that voted for tinubu politically relevant in their families?

God1000:
According to one report, US and Iranian officials were due to meet two days before Israel launched the unprovoked attack against Iran killing its generals and civilians


They lied about irag, they lied about Libya, and now they are telling us the Same lies about Iran


With this strike, Iran will speed up the process of building nuclear bomb or they will simply get from their allies

how was Israel attacking Iran unprovoked?

are you really sure about that?

what makes them peace icons?

what does "peace icon" mean?

favor914:
those oyibo Zionists from Europe & the Americas come & steal Palestine land, then lexy2014 blames Iran for their reaction to the land grab of those oyibo demons that call themselves Israel?

what has that got to do with my post?

but for a very long time, Iran has been using proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah to fight Israel.

is that the way it should be?

where was land or blame mentioned in my post?

favor914:
u come & steal their land, they fight back, u blame Iran?

how is your post related to the following?

but for a very long time, Iran has been using proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah to fight Israel.

is that the way it should be?

God1000:
Iran is standing up against aggression with courage and conviction. Every nation has the right to defend its sovereignty and respond to injustice. This is not just retaliation — it's a message: oppression will not go unanswered.

Dogasas:
Please how many army barracks are there in Lagos.. heard they're more than 10, I don't know how true.

I'm working on a research.

what is wrong if there are so many army installations in Lagos?

Who oppressed who?

LeopardX:
I'm not saying sleeping with prostitutes is good, but Jesus had encounters with prostitutes (Mary Magdalene, The Samaritan Woman), an adulteress ( John 8:1), and even the historically hated tax collectors (e.g. Zacheous) and he changed their lives and forgave them without judging them.


Most Christians today are actually in the ministry of condemnation, wheras Christ has given us the ministry of reconciliation. It's why in their so called evangelism, they target people who already have christian persuasions and try to convince them to join their church.

They are afraid of confronting actual sinners because they know it will lead to fight because they cannot approach with LOVE but rather judgement and hate in their hearts.

where was it written in the Bible that Mary Magdalene and The Samaritan Woman were prostitutes?

In 2024, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, launched investigations into some of his spiritual products over claims that they were capable of healing infertility and other medical conditions.

what is the result of the investigation?

since 2024, has the investigation not yet finished?

CAN is right but is this not the same CAN that hurriedly wanted the N30m that Eneche rejected from Kebbi state government?

helinues:
Borrowing is not the problem but the transparency of what they do with the money

am glad you made that observation.

the World Bank approved an initial loan of $80m for the SPESSE project in February 2020, aimed at reforming Nigeria’s procurement processes and enhancing compliance with environmental and social standards.

why does Nigeria need $80m to "reform" Nigeria's procurement processes and enhancing compliance with environmental and social standards?

creativejagaban:
I will mention 24:

🎓 Student Loans & Education

1. Student Loan Scheme / Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND):

Tinubu signed the Student Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act in April 2024, creating NELFUND.

Over ₦95 billion has been approved, benefiting hundreds of thousands of students.


2. Construction of Student Hostels:

Building 1,600-bed hostels across 24 tertiary institutions to improve campus accommodation.

🛢 Fuel Subsidy & Energy Sector Reforms

3. Removal of Fuel Subsidy:

Abolished fuel subsidies on May 29, 2023, saving about $10 billion/year, allowing subsidies to be redirected toward infrastructure, education, and health.

4. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative:

Launched a national CNG program for transportation, including distributing conversion kits to reduce fuel costs.


💱 Currency, Exchange & Tax Reforms

5. Unification of Multiple FX Rates:

Floated the naira and merged parallel exchange windows to boost transparency and attract investment.


6. Tax Reforms:

Set up a Fiscal Policy & Tax Reforms Committee aiming to raise tax-to-GDP to ~18% by reducing redundant taxes and digitizing revenue collection.


🗺 Infrastructure & Construction

7. Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway:

A 700 km coastal superhighway inaugurated May 2024 to boost regional connectivity.


8. Sokoto–Badagry Expressway & Other Roads:

Engineering designs and construction on major expressways and highways nationwide.

9. Second Niger Bridge & Port Harcourt–Aba Rail Line:

Fast-tracked completion of the Second Niger Bridge and the rail link between Port Harcourt and Aba.

1. you claim that “Over ₦95 billion has been approved, benefiting hundreds of thousands of students”.

Does approval automatically mean that the funds have been judiciously disbursed?

Hundreds of thousands of students is not a figure. Can you give me an exact figure?

How will this loan be paid back by the “beneficiaries”?

How has this loan improved the standard of tertiary education in nigeria?

2. Building 1,600-bed hostels across 24 tertiary institutions to improve campus accommodation.

Is it 1,600 bed hostel for each of the selected 24 institutions? If its not, you will have to divide 1600 by 24 which is 66.

That means each of the 24 institutions will get a 66 bed hostel. How does that remedy the accommodation problem in tertiary institutions?

If existing tertiary institutions cannot be properly funded, why is tinubu giving approval for new federal universities like a cockroach hatching multiple eggs?

3. Abolished fuel subsidies on May 29, 2023, saving about $10 billion/year, allowing subsidies to be redirected toward infrastructure, education, and health.

what positive impact has the abolished fuel subsidies had on the living standard of Nigerians? Has life for Nigerians become better for Nigerians or worse?

How did you arrive at your $10b a year?

If that is what was saved from removal of fuel subsidies, why then has tinubu been borrowing?

Which infrastructure, health and education has been funded with this $10b?

4. Launched a national CNG program for transportation, including distributing conversion kits to reduce fuel costs.

just a simple question. Does any of tinubus vehicles use CNG?

5. Set up a Fiscal Policy & Tax Reforms Committee aiming to raise tax-to-GDP to ~18% by reducing redundant taxes and digitizing revenue collection.

how is setting up a committee an achievement?

6. A 700 km coastal superhighway inaugurated May 2024 to boost regional connectivity.

Which regional connectivity is the lagos calabar highway connecting?

Are there no existing roads within that axis? Did the roads not achieve this “regional connectivity”?

What is the state of the roads at the moment? Are in good motorable shape?

Please look at this breakdown:

Lagos-Calabar Highway Costs 7 times more per km than Pan-African Cairo-Cape town route.

1. Nigeria’s Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a 700 km highway.

Budget: $11–13 billion

2. Cairo-Cape Town Highway, a 10,228 km Cairo-Cape Town Highway

Budget: $1.65 billion.

How does this make sense?

7. Sokoto–Badagry Expressway & Other Roads:

what is the percentage of work that has been accomplished in the Sokoto–Badagry Expressway?

What are the “other roads”?

8. Second Niger Bridge & Port Harcourt–Aba Rail Line:

You claimed that tinubu “Fast-tracked completion of the Second Niger Bridge”.

At what time before tinubu came to office that the bridge was not completion?

What and what was left that tinubu fast tracked and completed?

How did he “fast-track” PH-Aba rail line?

What was the initial completion date for the line?

Had the government fallen behind schedule?

If it had, by how many days, weeks or months?

9. Floated the naira and merged parallel exchange windows to boost transparency and attract investment.

What positive impact has floating of the naira had on the living standard of Nigerians?

Has life become better as a result of floating the naira or life has become worse?

How has floating of the naira boosted transparency?

Transparency in what exactly?

Can you name the investments that floating of the naira has attracted?
