The reason why the police is able to brutalize and intimidate protesters is because of low turn out of Nigerians..... Many Nigerians are too selfish and tribalistic to support any movement that will move this country forward.... Based on lessons I learnt from attending the previous protest, I knew that this will happen as nothing will change if the protest is not massively supported by Nigerians within the 36 states.... It is a shame that majority of Nigerians can not come out to protest when fuel price is over N1500 per litre, Naira above N1700 to $1, leading to astronomical rise in prices of goods and services....
Tinubu's evil government may eventually destroy the country since majority of Nigerians prefer to tribalism and religious sentiments over good governance....

Gbola Tilumbi the drug criminal has started sending his killer police after peaceful protesters

Kukutenla:
APC had the president and party chair from the same zone from 2020 to 2022
We didn't hear a whimper of betrayal from you lots then
It is always easy to analyse when you're pointing fingers
Damagun is from NE when the party chair is zoned to NC
Anyway, with all of Wike's noise so far, only two govs are relating with him at least publicly

richmond500:
We have agbero everywhere.
Lagos own is just too much that is why they always call Lagos.

It's just like traffic, we have traffic everywhere but it can't be compared to Lagos traffic.
One day u will travel and see other parts of Nigeria

Oakenshield:
Wike thinks he is boss of bosses well history always repeats itself.
Pride comes before a great fall to grass that's why it's better to always keep quiet.
Tinubu keeps on piling enemies and I guess PDP just never ready for am yet

maestro299:
I'm not Igbo, neither am I Yoruba. You guys should stop perpetuating tribalism. It doesn't help us.

Wickedfact:
Fintiri was the one who read the collated results collated by PDP in Edo. He was the only PDP Governor who showed up for Obaseki. In fact, Wike practically dared any PDP Governor to support Obaseki and none did. The next door Governor of Delta state didn't even show up.

This weekend, Fintiri was in Rivers with Wike.

I said it that day that Fintiri was in Edo State to supervise the final burial of Obaseki's political history.

viqSmallz:
Wike is big in the PDP true.
For Fubara to stand re-election he should go to a party filled with people who are against the system. Labour Party and not APP. Only then can he stand a chance, because he doesn't need to start with a political structure, they have natural followers. Labour Party ardents will naturally vote against whoever Wike fields. It will.be a tough one but it can be pulled off. Remaining inPDP or APC won't work for him. Remember the Ambode issue. Except he stays humble for a 2nd tenure.

30 PhD holders? What/Who is now left in the uni?

dawnomike:

Cheers and wishing you all the best!!!

Is this how it's done in Europe and other advanced counties too? With all these plenty water we still dey get epileptic power supply.

It means we have not harness how to use the water productively to benefit humanity and the only thing the unproductive government can do is to release the water into the houses of its citizens, causing deaths, displacements, permanent disabilities, hunger, malnutrition and extreme poverty amongst the citizens.

brain54:
I thought Ali baba was the first...

There was this similar show "laugh mattaz" with Mandy that aired into the early 2000's on tv!

tunjijones:
Why are all the dams releasing water?

Is it a normal practice?

JASONjnr:
Why can't waterboard have a means of discharging the overstayed water without flooding the city?

The waterboard generates funds and should be able to pay for damages and compensation....

That way, their heads will begin to have sense ...

Okete001:
Hehehe

This is what it means for the government to be proactive.

God bless SW, SS, North & MB.

God bless all tribes not giving Nigeria bad image abroad.

BoldBrainz:
This bank enables fraud and corruption like Swiss banks.

It is a safe haven for the proceeds of thievery by Politicians and public service officers alongside ranking fraudsters.

Monthly laundering schemes being perpetuated by its retinue of sinister customers runs into tens of billions, but let us hype it and ignore the ugly underbelly.

Ivimmanuel:
start a CNG distribution business you say? Oga you no well. you think it's only car owners that buy fuel, what about people who own bikes? Some filling station even sell 1500 in my state, if you have so much money, living well and you are not close to the people touched by negative policies of this government, just shut up.

Take a taxi or bike you hear them complaining of how business is no longer profitable because of hike in fuel price. People dealing in food produy are complaining they spend so much on transport and realize little profit in the end. Your wife and a few others you know may be working in companies that can afford to scale the salaries of their workers but most companies can not they'd rather you resign or the downsize and most workers in the private sector I know are still receiving the same salary so what are you saying?

You supporting supporting a government that hikes electricity, fuel and taxes virtually every thing then offer palliatives that most of the people don't get and then offered a paltry 70k as minimum wage, how sustainable is that? I pointed out to the reality of things and you say I'm complaining, complaining to who? Are you the government? If you are their payed agent enjoy your stipend and get off my comment pls.

Mynd44:
I actually don't believe this stops Atiku from getting the party's presidential ticket.

The governor and the PDP will eventually give him the ticket 🎫 when primary comes cos that's how the PDP is

malali:

The language goes to show you the mindset of the president. Thats why the other spokesman resigned, the tall fair guy. Energy cannot be deregulated without proper guardrails and oversight. You cannot set minimum wage in low naira and sell petrol at dollar equivalents in naira.if you want Nigerians to buy petrol at same price with Americans,UK,Canadians....you have to be ready to pay the same minimum wages they pay in those countries.

Ivimmanuel:
what nonsense are you saying? How many Nigerians are on government payroll? How many cars use CNG and how many Nigerians can afford 700k above to convert their vehicles to CNG even if they do how many CNG stations do we have? Some states have none. A reasonable government would ensured CNG conversion and gastation distribution is significantly achieved to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal.

So if I'm using fuel for only what I need it for 1200 is not too expensive when most Nigerians earn below 100k and still have other expenses to take care of. Some of you are not normal because because if you don't see anything wrong with the state of things I don't know how to describe you.

malali:
While it’s true that the government aims to regulate and intervene only when necessary, the reality is that petrol pricing impacts everyone, especially the most vulnerable. A “willing buyer, willing seller” approach may work in theory, but without oversight, it can lead to price gouging and instability in essential services. Competition among independent marketers and refineries is important, but it needs to be balanced with consumer protection measures. The government’s role should include ensuring that no one is unfairly exploited and that essential goods remain accessible to all citizens, especially during crises.

Now, you are talking. All he needs is to provide proof of consent from the owners of the said accounts and he is a free man

Even ordinary MC Oluomo who is a well known thugt can never try this

malali:
Petrol is too essential to leave entirely uncontrolled. Even in the US, UK, and Canada, the government plays a role in regulating fuel prices. In the USA, the government maintains strategic reserves to release when prices spike, helping stabilize the market. Allowing full deregulation without oversight would risk exploitation and inflation, especially in vital sectors like transportation. Fuel is not just another product; it’s a lifeline for the economy and daily life, so government intervention is necessary to protect consumers and ensure fair pricing.

Organized private sector should try and embrace same. Chai!

chigator2:
They've truly taken this sit-at-home to a whole new level, and to think you all viewed the Southeast as the rebellious ones! 😂😂

BreconHills what’s your take on this monumental 'achievement' from your Tinubu? It’s time we learned to be objective and own up to our biases. Step off the high horse and admit that you supported, or even voted for, an undeniable flop, instead of desperately trying to extract brilliance from sheer incompetence.

malali:
The government’s stance on the fuel pricing controversy between Dangote Refinery and NNPCL is astonishingly tone-deaf. By refusing to intervene and leaving Nigerians at the mercy of market forces, the administration shows a dangerous level of detachment from the hardships faced by the average Nigerian. President Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, claims that because the market is deregulated, the government cannot interfere, effectively absolving the administration of responsibility.

This position is a betrayal of the public trust. If Nigerians are left to “negotiate” with billionaire businesses like Dangote and a monopolistic NNPCL, why did we even bother voting for this government? The presidency is acting as though the “buck doesn’t stop” at their desk, leaving citizens to suffer exorbitant fuel prices that affect every aspect of life—from transportation to food costs.

In tough economic times, leadership should step in to protect the people, not stand by idly while private entities dictate essential commodity prices. It’s clear that this administration has become detached from the daily struggles of the masses, showing no intent to use its influence to cushion the blows of economic hardship.
