And yet the economy of the country keeps getting worse
They should continue with their one party system

Nah your side nah him economy dey worse........

airlines are meeting their targets yoy,

foreign reserves are at decade long high,

crude output us on the increase,

30 banks are meeting their recapitalisation requirements,

fdi inflow is stable,

the currency is far stable and no more criminal arbitrage as was obtainable in the past,

we are now refining our crude locally,

non oil revenues have grown exponentially,

inflation is now single digit

This and many more,you can only impress ignoramuses with your wailing but enlightened ones know better.

SeeWahala:
Na them sabi me I'm simply waiting for campaign season to resume so we can all gather and observe exactly what APC wants to use and push their propaganda 😏

We are equally waiting fir what obi and his gang of hungry politicians will cone tell us they want to come and do differently from what tinubu is already doing.

Firstson33:
Tide change when Tinubu a renowned failure who couldn’t meet any of his campaign point agenda start inducing the governors with money and threatening some with effcc! Such a dirty politics that has never been played in Nigeria! Never in ones life can one think a president of a country is so scared of opposition, the reason the docile president is scared of opposition is because he failed in all index of governance there by his only way to secure a second term is to induce and bribe all the governors to Apc so that they can collectively rig their states for him! This is not politic this corruption on a full blow! Tinubu need to be stopped or he would reduced democracy to something else.

Is that what obi is telling you dead heads.... continue!! Both of you will hit the ground so hard you will go down in history as the worst looser in any presidential election.

Them dey use mouth dey talk their own.

Meanwhile Israel and US dey use bomb talk their own.

US and Israel dey bomb them, kill papa, mama, pikin and even grand children. But na ordinary word wey come out from their mouth u dey worry about.

Iran get thousands of bombs but dem never for once use am attack Israel. Israel don attack them 3 times now.

I would prefer if you are lying to yourself,it will make this discourse worthy but if you are ignorant it would be very painful to me and this discourse would lack the intellectual exchanges I want......either way,I only have a question

Who is funding hezbollah,hamas and houthis? What is the sole purpose of these organisations existing if not to annihilate isreal?

Iceking1:
Interesting, really so interesting. This one just use he own hand sign he death warrant.... Omo, this people nor dey fear death at all.... Nothing and absolutely nothing go make me take such position, this people nor just dey fear death.

Person wey don dey negotiate for back door already........you think say to die dey easy.

Una go dey celebrate assassinating a leader of another country until dem start to dey kill western leaders then u go begin call them terrorists.

Remember just last year Trump escaped death by turning his head a few inches. No one is untouchable, always remember that.

America that every citizen carries a gun, it'll be too easy to whack Trump or US leaders.

Why should a country wish death and destruction on another country and saying they have no right to exist and should be wiped off the face of the earth..... Iran themselves are merchants of blood and the leaders should juice in their own stew........Israel has a right to defend itself.

Dazidon:
U think u know what u are saying


U believe i don't deserve better cuz I don't pay the tax required for better governance


U are generalising and comparing like a whatchamacallit

U believe i don't pay the required tax


Spits


Damn what you think

Damn the Damn!

Where have i mentioned that you don't pay takes......for everyone like you within the tax net,there are 4 others outside it.....so if you see the tax as a burden or counter productive,there are 4 others who don’t care but we we all get into that bracket and we all see govt taking that much from us,we will all seat up and hold that givt responsible.

Dazidon:
Stop this disgusting comparison

Tell that to those obidient reactionaries!!

jospepper:
Nigeria sells to foreigners, those foreigners then add their cut and sell to Dangote Refinery

What is the meaning of this and why is it allowed?

Our mumu suppose don do.

W e need a group of leaders that will come and do away with this rot.

What is wrong with that......dangote isn't the only refinery in nigeria so why should he get preferential treatment......he is only trying to be smart by half......rather than do what dangote is asking,I rather remove tarrif on renewable energy equipments such as solar and electric vehicles,if these can compete effectively with fossil fuel in the country, it will generally drive down the demand for pms......

There is a difference in someone doing something with good intention in mind and someone doing something with evil intention in mind.

Memphis357:
Tinubu is on a mission to kill Nigeria.
"I went to school when Goodluck Jonathan was President. That was during Nigeria's economic boom. Yet, I saw people struggle to pay N12k for school fees. I saw people come to school with N2k, N5k as pocket money. Some came with foodstuff and "remember the home you came from."

Flight to Benin was between N12k to N18k. I usually went to school, filling the biggest travelling box with provision, and it cost me N30k to do that. My pocket money was between N25 to N30k and it was sufficient. I was feeding my friends in hostel and was named most generous person in the hostel. I went to a to secondary school with children of the rich, so I already knew the other reality of life. What I was seeing in UNIBEN was a far cry. To do everything I listed above today, you need over 500k because this government has plunged us into darkness.

Now, in 2026, when our lives should have significantly improved from the progress made by the GEJ government, we went from the clueless Buhari to k!eller of hope Tinubu. Exchange rate is over the roof. Flight is exorbitant. Feeding is a luxury. School fees is out of the reach of two income household. People are dy!ng daily because they cant afford health care. The government is taxing people to d£ath. Yet, we have cl0wns defending the cost of living in a country that minimum wage is N70k.

Meanwhile, the money released for health care of 200m people was N36 million naira. NNPC stole N210 Trillion but it is the masses that should be taxed to raise money and the masses that should have to endure economic hardship and pay exorbitant fee to get the available po0r quality education. Today, people are paying above 100k to 500k for public education. Nons£nse!

I am very convinced you people defending this are m@d and with all due disrespect, you're very m@d........"

No subsidy for you,cry blood if you want...... we aren't going back to that era..... dont vote tinubu come 27,you can waste it on your obi but we are going to vote tinubu for what he is doing.

Economics is not only about the price of rice and garri........the headwinds from the Iranian debacle would subside and things will gradually return to normal,if you don't like it, you can as well love the country.

Renman:
Keep justifying ignorance! People with this kind of reasoning is the reason why Nigeria has remained stagnant for years!!!

Oya...compare Nigeria with china...or is Nigeria more populous than china?

How many years old is china compared to Nigeria,what is the ethnic demograhy of china......do you have any idea what china went through to get where they are right now or you think china just started yesterday.......it's only subsidy that was removed by tunubu you have hated the man more than the devil accusing him of depriving you from driving or owning your own car .....do you know how long the Chinese endured to even be able to afford a car let alone drive one......you were already gallivanting all around in Mercedes Benz cars and jeeps while the Chinese were riding bicycles,marrying several wives and concubines while the Chinese couldn't have more than 1 and couldn't birth more than 1 due to govt economic planning......you then want Nigeria to be like china overnight.

Hedonisco:
The quality of your thinking is abysmal - to put it very mildly. Looking for escape routes where none exists. Where was Malaysia or Singapore in 1960?

I don't waste my time discussing anything with you Tinubu tribal crusaders, because it is impossible to awaken someone who is pretending to be asleep.

What's the population of Singapore and Malaysia compared to ours......these countries have far less manifest diversity compared to ours with far higher GDP..... Malaysia is just about 35m with a far bigger GDP than ours.

LordBiden:
The reason why comparisons like these don't make sense is this,how can you compare a nation of over 7m people with massive oil deposit with one with over 200m people.

Obidients get brain B4.....comparing apples with oranges... Libya has more oil revenues than Nigeria with a far lesser population with one single language and religion and you compare with Nigeria with 450 ehnicities,with lesser oil revenues and over 10 times their population......

Hold who accountable?

People who believe in using hoodlums to attack peaceful protesters?

Same government that control the judiciary the way they want?

Same people who use remote control to upturn the outcome of election in osun state?

Have you noticed the increase of VIO, FRSC, NPF on our roads recently? They see this time as the perfect period to make it in life because nobody will challenge them due to the kind of what's happening at the top

😂

Oga!! You aren't reacting to these absurdities because you aren't heavily taxed and it hasn't gotten round.....by the time govt is taking 25% of ur profit or salary and that of everyone around you.....everyone would sit up and have one voice in holding govt accountable........50 naira per transaction is considered irrelevant by many, transport levies by drivers is considered irrelevant by those who don’t drive,market levies is not regarded as significant by those who arent Traders,many don't even know what PAYE is because they aren't in paid employment......but when this tax law becomes effective,it will touch everyone and everyone will feel bothered.

Make the best use of your Google or ask those loving over there

Also, people pay taxes even on data that we use.

Those agbero collecting money from commercial transporter mp dey chop the money buy remitting some parts to the government while the transporter pass the burden to passengers whereas there's nothing of such in Canada. You pay more than 4k naira on every 1 bag of cement that you buy (according to dangote analysis). You pay tax when you shop in the supermarket, you pay tax when you subscribe your paytv, you pay lots of indirect taxes but yoh no go know.

Mind you, the salaries that government workers earn in this country is not worth it still they pay tax

All these is what the new tax law seeks to regularise by harmonising the various taxes and. Rates so you have a bearing on govt finances nd eliminate all this illegal charges.......you nust be ready to pay taxes if you want all these you ask......nigerians are forever under the illusion that Nigeria is super rich which isn't true considering our revenues with our GDP......we aren't even as rich as texas a single state in the US.

When tax administration becomes effective, people will begin to get more involved in govt and hold them more accountable also govt would be forced to provide all the necessary amenities to enable you to be more productive to pay taxes......but right now fovt doesn't seem to care about the citizens much because they don't depend on them for income.

Shimmaa:
I don't understand, who owns the crude in our soil, is it owned by OPEC?

Oh my God!! Are you ficking kidding me right now?

ccollins:
when it comes to negative economics that will not favor the populace, U will compare Nigeria to canada and other developed countries. Have u cared to as well compare Nigeria government inactions and ineffective response in the lack of adequate electricity supply to that of 24hrs electricity supply in developed countries. You will not compare the good economics and decisions of those developed countries but you will compare the negative economics of crude oil abi

Have you paid the price or costs for those economies you so admire payed to get where they are...... your countries budget isn't upto that of NY state alone let alone carlifonia and you expect their king of educational standards and health standards......SA alone is generating 10 times the electricity your country generates for a larger population......are you paying as much taxes as they pay,are you producing as much as they produce,are you as disciplined as they are?

Ordinary tax reforms the govt has brought you have all been crying and shouting that tinubu wants to kill everyone but you want to enjoy American standards without paying the price.

Shimmaa:
Nigerian government are just selfish people, why are they charging dangote international rate to sell crude oil to him, I fear the kind of hardship that will hit people in the coming days.

There is an international cartel called OPEC that controls crude output and prices which Nigeria is obligated to as a member.......tinubu cannot determine how much crude is to be sold........lets accept without conceding that tinubu can decide that dangote should get his petrol cheaper than international rates just so you can get cheap petrol, you will still get to pay more because you have further incentivised smuggling which will attract higher prices than you are willing to pay and marketers will be willing to sell to them cause of higher margins and you would have only little to fight over thereby causing scarcity forcing you to pay more, now who looses?

koxyz:
Since the government is making more money from the sales of crude oil, they should give us palliatives to cushing the effects of increments in the price of petrol.

Bros calm down,prices started rising barely a week.....be calming down,this things dont just happen in a whim,they take processes.

omoredia:
Dangote monopoly is dangerous and exploitative. The real benefit to Nigerians is to bring in more players to compete on pricing.

What do you want dangote to do? You have every right to get a licence and go bring your own pms and sell at whatever price you want,what competition are you looking for again......you people just make outlandish inferences and throw invectives at a system you dont even understand the basics of how it runs......your confident display of ignorance is highly nauseating.

Do you even realize how much benefits your kids get months?

Do you realized that quality education in Canada is free except tertiary institution?

Do you even know the cost of power supply is cheaper than Band A cost here in Nigeria whereas they have 24hrs per day while you don't get 24hrs per day with band A (my office is on band A so I have a first hand experience(

You are paying for that free education and health care through taxes,how many Nigerians pay taxes......also stop that horrendous lie that electricity is cheaper over there than we have here stop misinforming people and say only what you know.

yesloaded:
It's no longer Canada but usa?

😂

You mentioned Canada experiencing high pms rate then I asked you honest questions

Next time, say only what you know

Nigeria needs fuel subsidy & the removal of fuel subsidy on day 1 of this administration is the greatest blunder

As is now, a month minimum wage before tax in Nigeria will not buy 50litres of Petrol

And where will the govt be getting extra money now to fund subsidy,if this persist any longer than 2 weeks,the govt would have been broke......don't you know if subsidyvwas still in place,govt bills will also rise as prices are rising and we would have been sleeping in petrol stations by now also there wouldn'thave been any dangote refinery........this are austerity times coming back and you need to be more economical with the use of petrol.

jmoore:
Dude, REST!

USA, Canada has stable power supply. Households over there don't depend on generators to power their homes.

You probably charged your phone with a generator and you are posting this.

Petrol runs almost everything in Nigeria, so ripple effects will be worse compared to USA or Canada.

Why do you think the west frets anytime Russia threatens energy cuts.......as petrol is important to you here is same way it's important to the US economy.......high prices never helps any economy..........other west african countries have been paying higher prices than you for petrol for ages and will still pay more and heavens haven't fallen over there......so quit pointing fingers and making Puerile comparisons,this problem affects every living person in the world.

yesloaded:
What's the price of Petrol in Canada now?

What's the minimum wage after tax in Canada?

What's the minimum wage after tax in Nigeria?

Even at the current high prices you have here,you still aren't paying half the price obtainable in Canada.......it's over $7 already in los Angeles.

Day169:
We've heard you, and granted, oil prices have shot up.
But the federal government should be able to provide some form of subsidy to cushion the effect of the price hike on the masses.
That should be a part of the welfare obligation of our government for the people!

It's barely a week bros,be calming down.....these things just dont happen by a whim,you need to calm down and study whats happening to crude prices currently and explore all options available before setting a process in motion.......do you have a budget for payment of subsidy? It's money you will use to pay subsidy and govt doesn't have inexhaustible pockets of that.

BeginsAtHome:
I mean ALL of them.

Jokes on you bro.

Than how is obi different from the rest?

You have negotiated to complete your 2nd term after him.......fear who noh fear politicians!!

Believeintruth:
On the contrary, that is not what BAT wants because if that happens and he strikes a deal with the north for one term, the so called APC governors will be the one to betray BAT in the north. This is why they have been scheming to ensure he doesn't appear on the ballot.

Obidients with delusion,you people never seize to amuse me with your childish thinking about politics........strike a deal with which North,you think the north trust obi any better than they trust tinubu.......keep dreaming child......."you gonna learn"

magoo10:
Only one man giving tinubu and his followers sleepless nights.
Fact is there is no other opposition politician existing today making tinubu do all he has been desperately doing.

If ADC get mind,make then give obi presidential ticket.......thats what all pbat supporters want,the beating go too sweet.
