I think Arnold should just come into Nigeria and join Obi's party. With his partisan's views, he can no longer be considered neutral

ghm:
Good write-up as usual and it always make sense but lacks practicality appeal.

Dangote built refinery in Nigeria that practically remove significant market from many refineries in Europe. I don't believe the forces described are not aware but the desire to build such magnificient economic edifice is stronger in it's originator than the forces against it.

I do not believe in PO's "from consumption to production" beyond it being just a[b] political jingle from a politician[/b]. PO can start by building personal/private industries in Nigeria to replace his enourmous importation businesses, these industries can produce the same goods and services that PO 's marketing companies imports into the country afterall, Dangote and Rabiu that are not politicians did that successfully.

Bye the way who the biggest importers but Obi himself and his supporters

Beautifulday:
Did you read what he wrote?

Obviously he didn't read it

KingAzubuike:
It's total nonsense.

While some ogas treat their bois well upon completion of their apprenticeship,

Some do directly the opposite. I know someone who was given just 500k after 5 years of loyal service.

That does not mean it's bad. If government comes in with policy and regulations, it will serve its purpose
The results are good enough

Willy2025:
Another imported politician from Lagos. Kwarans should resist the imposition. Bolarinwa is a Kwara-born but Lagos based politician and one of Tinubu's foot soldiers. He should be sent back to Lagos to contest with Hamzat.

But he has been in Kwara Politics since 2018! He was the APC state Chairman that won the Governorship for the party. He's home enough

Sermwell:
You mean you don't see thiefnubuu's hands in all these? Where has Ardo been since?

But this ADA was been packaged by Elrufai and co, are they also working for Tinubu

isio1:
Just imagine, they have suddenly discovered that Obi and Kwankwaso are on their way to NDC, they are trying to put spanner in the works again. Wow! Mr. Ardo where have you been, why not hustle hard and get your own party registered by INEC and leave NDC alone please. Don't be a meddle some interloper. Mind your business sir.

Is ardo working for Tinubu now?

Jaylord12:
Do they really have option?

We will keep our fingers crossed for a better Nigeria

With Atiku, Aregbesola and David Mark?

Parachoko:
PDP won't be recovering from this mess anytime soon

It's a peculiar mess

esnbrutality:
You are just setting ypur region up for eternal crying.

Makesure Tinubu gives you oduduwa Republic..if not , your tears will be legendary.

Tears from who? We don't cry they way others do

mrvitalis:
How about LP
How about PDP
How about NNPP
How about PRP
How about NDC

Suddenly all opposition parties brought legal case to themselves

Let's see if supreme Court would make Nigeria peaceful today or set us on the part of revolution

So they should make pronouncements that only suits you?

Okay. But the routine maintenance could have been done during the night

elder1002:
My brother, nobody is talking about reversing the policies like subsidy removal or floating the naira.

The real question is: Why did these policies make life so much harder for the average person?

Poverty rate don jump from 56% in 2023 to 63% in 2025 according to World Bank report wey just come out this April. That means around 140 million Nigerians dey poor now millions more people wey enter poverty since Tinubu entered.

Petrol wey be ₦185-250 for May 2023 dey sell around ₦1,200-1,400 now. Transport cost triple for most people. Food prices still dey very high even though inflation don drop small from that 40% peak. Rice, beans, garri, everything still cost almost 2-3 times wetin e be before.

Naira wey be around ₦460 to $1 for 2023 don dey around ₦1,370+ now. Anything imported just dey cost too much.

The minimum wage increase to ₦70k sound good for paper, but with this inflation and high cost of everything, the money no get real power again. Many families wey dey manage before now dey find it hard to feed well. Some dey even cut down to one meal a day.

You fit list all the programmes and acronyms NELFUND, SAPZ, Renewed Hope etc. But if the ordinary man for street no fit buy food, pay house rent, or send him children to school without borrowing, then wetin we gain?

The policies fit be "necessary" like some people dey claim, but the way them implement am without strong safety net don push plenty people deeper into suffering.

So no be about reversing am. Na about asking: After 3 years, why poverty and hunger don increase instead of reduce?

Make we no dey deceive ourselves with long list of launched projects. The suffering for ground dey very real.

My point is for Nigerians to demand accountability on the way the savings are utilized. Fix the roads (goods efforts going on), fix primary healthcare, Power, and support productivity. The costs of governance must be reduced

Yorubastardz:
Real life doings.

But why are you girls so good at making horrible decisions??

If she allow me date am
Na she for dey chop my money now

You girls are so bad at making decisions
Una go chase away the right one
Then start crying tears of regret in Shiloh

This money you are "chopping" is it your money or you are stealing it from your employer. Because you said you are now making money as head of your own department.
I need answers

elder1002:
LIES


My brother, some of the things on your list are real like NELFUND, the new minimum wage, tax reform, and clearing the forex backlog. Nobody is denying that government launched plenty programmes.
But make we talk the real thing wey dey happen for ground.

Since Tinubu came in 2023, poverty don jump from 56% to 63% according to World Bank report this April 2026. That means over 140 million Nigerians dey poor now millions more than before. Many people wey dey manage before are now struggling badly.

Petrol wey be around ₦185–250 for May 2023 don jump to over ₦1,200–1,400 now. How many people fit carry that one? Transport cost triple for most people. Market women, okada riders, teachers, everybody dey feel am.

Food prices still dey pain. Even though food inflation don come down small from the 40% peak, rice, beans, garri, yam, everything still cost 2-3 times what they were in 2023. Plenty families don reduce to one meal per day. Some no dey eat meat or fish again. Hunger don enter many houses.

Naira don lose serious value from around ₦460 to one dollar to over ₦1,370 now. Anything wey dem import (food, drugs, spare parts) don become very expensive. That one fuel the inflation.

The government refineries (Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna). them still never really work well. Billions spent on rehabilitation but most time them dey shut down. The only big refinery working well na Dangote own (private). So that "refineries activation" claim na just talk.

Minimum wage increased to ₦70,000 yes. But with this kind inflation, the money no get power again. Wetin ₦30,000 fit do in 2022, ₦70,000 no fit do am today. Salary don increase but purchasing power don drop badly.

Stock market dey boom and government revenue don increase that one na true. But the ordinary man for street no dey feel am. The pain of subsidy removal and naira float hit everybody hard, but the cushion (safety nets) no strong enough.

Abeg, listing all the programmes and initiatives no mean say people life don better. When your wife dey cry because she no fit buy food reach, when your children dey miss school because transport too costly, when rent don double all those acronyms no go comfort anybody.

If Tinubu supporters wan show say him don do well, make dem show us clear evidence say the average family dey better today than May 2023. Not press release. Not "we launched this".

The suffering dey real for most Nigerians right now. Poverty don increase, hunger don increase. Na the truth.

Do you think anyone will come to reverse those policies? That won't be possible

stan4b:
She was backing him, maybe she didn't see him.

Didn't see Pasuma? Haa this one is even worse

Jorussia:
let's be very careful the way we handle the political affairs of this country.A healthy opposition is good for the country.

Me, I'm just worried that if you can't navigate how to make political party works, how will you run a very complex country like Nigeria?

Jorussia:
Even as an APC Member,i think the interference on the opposition by the ruling party is becoming a source for concern.The Energy being used to bring down opposition should be channeled to fixing the economy.

It's painful that somebody like me don't have access to the president.2027 election is very much easier for the president to win than those around him imagine.The APC already have a very formidable structure that no opposition hurriedly cobbled together can defeat.The only obstacle to the reelection of the president is the current economy and insecurity issues in the country.The president should channel his attention to bringing down the fx rate to around #800 and let the opposition remain.

So what is the fault of PBAT in those that violated the constitution of their party, that couldn't appease aborigin party members.
To me all these injuries are self inflicted. Don't blame others for the woes you caused yourself

christejames:
This govt of Tinupoo is hellbent on setting this CORNtree 🌽 ablaze o courtesy of the dipso of Abuja

Which country ablaze! Those who want to rule, yet lack the basic respect for the rule of law, who's to be blamed?

esnbrutality:
We know them..when we see them..

He formed and lead all those parties

Kanwulia:
Bush girl!🙄
Coming from Uganda. . . . I don’t blame your ignorance!

What an insult the THE WHOLE OF EUROPE!

Why she nor the REAL ABUJA?🙄

Muchechechecheche

That's what she's saying that you only say negative things about your country. You have simply manifested the same bad traits

Revealpanda:
Lol... Only a pathetic African from Another worse shythole will think of comparing Abuja to Europe.

Kubwa alone have more than 100 sites filled with Refuse and Dumbs as wide as a football field

That's her points. That you guys only show the bad side of Nigeria and never appreciate the country good side.
You can see how you simply defaulted into the same settings she spoke about

What are the fresh evidences, was it re-investigated to justify new evidence?
Kwara already had its hand full with insurgency and should rather focus all attention to resolving it.
Making political gains out of the sad incidence is very sad. Abdulrahman has been Governor for the past 7years, only now at the evening of election that he wants justice.
We all can see through.

And to imagine that the priority of the Governor is to charge Dr Bukola Saraki and Fatai Ahmed for armed robbery! Strange isn't it?

The hospital should be shut down and the licence of Medical Doctor who performed the surgery should be withdrawn. The Doctor should be prosecuted for professional negligence and after that the family should sue for billions of Naira in damages.
The Government department that is responsible for monitoring hospitals should also take a blame for allowing these abatiors called hospitals to still be in existence.
Obviously there were no scrub Nurses in that hospital.
Accept my condolences, but you must pursue this to a logical conclusion

AustineE1:
Is it a crime that we the igbo speaking part of Delta wants to join the rest of our brothers in the south east....all over the world there is renewed sense of ethnic identity and we have spoken!
If we have referendum,I can assure you that over 90% of my Anioma people wants to join the rest of the greater Igbo nation. We don't hate other tribes in Delta,we only want to join our brothers while we keep our relationship with other beautiful tribes of delta.

Moving the proposed State capital from Asaba to Orlu is a very sticky part of the whole arrangement. Most will definitely not agree. They should retain the Capital in Asaba, and move Delta State Capital to Warri

It's Fulaniphobia so sad.

Sheuns:
What gives that impression of ownership of Nigeria is the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates in 1914 by Lugard. Even the name Nigeria is similar to the name Niger republic was called.

The arrogance of the North is too much. What they failed to understand is that 2026 is not 1960.

When Abacha broke up The Nigeria Law School, heaven did not fall.
What gave the North the impression that they own Nigeria?

Svoboda:
The north believes this is Atikus time, as it is last chance saloon for him. This is whether you like it or not. An Atiku on the ballot would be Tinubus biggest headache. Tinubu should be wary of an Atiku without a Buhari on the horizon. Even some singing Tinubus mandate in the north are with Atiku. I fully agree that Obi/Kwankwaso stands no chance, no matter how tantalising that prospect might seem.

Sorry, which North?
