Just reason this. I don't have food at home, no job, no light, can't afford my rent, and you expect me to support the reelection of the president who damaged the economy? How!



Tinubu's chances of winning lies in rigging. Free and fair, he won't get 5% up North, North-central, South-east, and South-south.

I have food in my home,I have a job as a matter of fact,I am about to seal a good deal by next week,I can afford rent so I will support the re election of the president who managed the economy meticulously.

Tinubu will win my state hands down and will win atiku in the north again and obi in the SS.

Go get a job dude,thise riding keke are not animals.....you can still use that to mend urself till you find your footing and stop crying tinubu.

AMINDA:
While the APC are using state machineries and thugs to destroy opposition banners in the South, Northern electorates are taking it upon themselves to destroy APC banners in the North. Elections are impossible to rig in the North if you are unpopular. I hope Obi can hold his own in the South?

In tambuwal's local govt and you are the ashamed to even mention it......let atiku too come and place his banner in ozoro.

ARISHEM:
Useless excuses. Uber sold its Southeast Asian operations, including the Philippines, to its regional rival Grab. Uber closed down and wind down his operations completely in Nigeria

Because their business model isn't profitable......i am in logistics business and i have worked with uber since 2015.......8 out of 10 e hailing drivers don't use uber,they rather use bolt or indrive their major rivals they couldn't compete with.

shadyLP:
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you guys are just something else which I know when a new government is installed, you will still be a beneficiary to the government in the society.. but for your you to be updated,
1. Shoprite was established in Nigeria 2005 in Lagos.. that was even when Nigeria hasn't been shambled..
2. Shoprite was changed (ownership Nigeria local) 2021 Apc era... which you and your family had been enjoying shopping but your apc destroyed it and you are here typing shit....

Trying so hard to prove me wrong on ur iq.........apc killed shoprite because apc owns jendol,justrite,market square,spar,next supermarket owned by Peter obi ,ebeano,globus and so many superstores we have in nigeria today.

Looks like you are getting further from sense.....
Pls try harder.

This is very welcome,this ai thing has further entrenched olodo culture in our youths......no more critical thinking,thats why someone can loe to them he kept states funds in his personal bank for the benefit of the state while the atates doctors were on strike for 13 months and couldn't build new schools,no legacy project whatsoever and tbey will believe him without even seeing the foolishness in that decision.

shadyLP:
You are just a real and really a disappoint adult who you even claimed as an adult in nigeria...
I spit on you
Tueh!!!

The same way you people were propagating rubbish when shop rite left due to bad business decisions and management......but that created room for your nigerian brothers and sisters to fill up that void making the money stay in our economy rather than being shipped off by those xenophobes.

Dey try get sense even if nah small abeg!!

Ahmeduana:
If Atiku should shut up, what should you and your paymaster should do? Don't bother answering, you should buried your heads 🗣️🗣️🗣️ in shame

You should be the one that should be ashamed when one scammer comes out and start inundating you with lies and filling your brains with pile of rubbish.......did uber leave Singapore too because of bad economy?

kaludestiny10:
Why did Uber leave Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzanian and Ivory Coast?
It is due to harsh economic realities. Meanwhile, Uber has not left Singapore and some other countries that you mentioned in your write up.

At least of you can't use your brain to do simple research before commenting on anything,how about using Google so you can atleast look smart.

Chibuezem:
whoever is paying for this is wicked
Onaiyekan spoke the truth about your grand patron of wickedness.
Nigerians excluding you are suffering

Chibueze!! You need not tell anyone where your sentiments lay,its as obvious as day.......we don't have to support the same candidate and I respect that,And I sincerely wish you do same.

Bobloco:
Paul Ibe, a Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has blamed President Bola Tinubu following the exit of e-hailing company Uber from Nigeria after 12 years of operating in the country.

In a post on X, Ibe dismissed the likelihood that Uber’s decision may be prompted by a review of its business priorities and investment focus. According to him, under the Tinubu-led APC administration, businesses are battling a punishing economic environment marked by inflation, currency instability, high operating costs, declining purchasing power and policy uncertainty.


He wondered why Nigeria is increasingly becoming a business graveyard, a place where businesses choose to leave rather than invest and expand.

“An administration that promised to attract investment cannot continue celebrating economic statistics while companies shut down, scale back or redirect investments elsewhere,” he said.


Atiku’s aide pointed out that Nigeria needs policies that make businesses want to come here, stay here and create jobs—not an economic environment that steadily drives them away.

He said Uber’s exit should therefore be a wake-up call that Tinubu’s economic policies are not yet delivering the investment-friendly Nigeria Nigerians were promised.

“Indeed, Tinubunomics is powered by ‘bole ka ja’ policies,” he said.


https://guardian.ng/news/atikus-aide-blames-tinubu-as-uber-exits-nigeria/

These atiku guys should just shut it and save us their cacophonous bunkum......is Nigeria the first country uber is exiting from?

Singapore,Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia,Philippines, Indonesia since 2018

China in 2016

Other African countries like cote d ivoire,Uganda,Tanzania all before Nigeria......would you say all these was because of poor economy in those countries.

[quote author=AMINDA post=140523568]Sorry o. Sai Atiku! Popularity will not be transferable in 2027 and hiding behind the governors will not save Tinubu. He needs them more than they need him and they are fully aware of that.

Support for Tinubu faces continued setbacks in the North. They're not joking this time around. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/Kf7qYq32z7

atiku has who......atiku has heavily barraged these same govs you are currently famzing and launched a direct attack on the establishment far beyond politics.......his breakfast is already being prepared and he will be served hot.

Whats all this thrash wike is spewing,its obvious he attended that interview drunk or partially deranged, he is sounding very uncouth and terribly embarking on a ridiculous ego trip......he had embarrassed the presidency and his allies even more.

Wike pls be guided, PBAT till 31!!

The game don start,while some delusional neo facist supporters were celebrating one 2nd hand campaign truck earlier today,barely 4 and half months to elections.

FSBoperator:
Trader mentality.

Cement production and distribution is a high energy intensive process.

Dangote's Obajana plant for example generates all the power they need from diesel powered generators and that doesn't come cheap.

There's also the mining process that requires heavy duty diesel earthmoving equipment and dump trucks.

Since Dangote relies on thousands of diesel trucks to move their cement from their factory to wholesalers across Nigeria, that is also another very expensive cost you have to factor.

China and France produce the cheapest cement because both France and China have very cheap energy sources for power generation.

France relies on Nuclear power plants for 70% of its energy needs which makes cement production very cheap.

China's vast energy production which is over 50,000 GW relies on cheap coal fired power plants, series of hydro dams notably the Three Gorge dam alongside dozens of nuclear power plants. This makes energy very cheap to produce in china and hence cement.

Also china has invested heavily on rail to move heavy goods around which makes distributing cement way cheaper.

When we tell you that infrastructural investment is key to economic growth you will be spewing trash that it's better to invest in breweries and Gabriela Obi's Panama account.

Obi don already lamba dem he will bring the price down to 4k a bag,and the brainless ones are believing that.

Onaiyekan will never be found here,rather he will be urging his sheep on so he can be president by force.......obidients have so deceived obi that he now feels he is equal jesus.

We await them in 27!!

AMINDA:
Who is the leader of the party in Lagos? Who was the leader of the APC in Rivers when Fubara decamped to the party brfore he was denied a return ticket? Hypocrisy.

Whats your concern with internal apc dynamics......is it anyone's fault fubara went against the interest of those with bigger influence in abuja and he got kicked out......a gov cant be leader in a state where the president hails from......wamakko is in sokoto,shettima is in borno,yari is in zamfara,nnamani is from enugu,umahi from ebonyi,do you hear anyone of them having issues with tbeir govs.

Againstthewall:
Comparing Tinubu's 2023 performance to OBJ's 1999 is lame. OBJ contested against a fellow Yoruba man, while Tinubu didn't

So to you, his sw brothers will abandon him for a fulani or the other one from across the niger........better had better change that thing you are smoking.

zbigniew:
Whatever it will cost the country is immaterial at thjs time so long as it will improve the lives of Nigerians...When someone is sick and in jeed of medication,the cost does not really matter so long as he will get well again...Is it not when someone is alive that he can worry about costs?...Has Tinubu ever come out to tell us the costs he has impoton Nigerians as a result of his daft policies...Now i saw your attempt to draw a contrast between Nigeria and some countries by referencing population....FYI a country with a bigger population requires more duty of care in implementing any policy because of possible large number of persons to be affected.... Remember rhe basic and fundamental duty of government is to provide the greatest good to the greatest number of people... Again, you must understand that governance goes beyond debits, credits, balance sheet and profit and loss... Government intervention must be based on cost to benefit analysis... However certain costs and benefits are non monetary but add to human welfare... Imagine hiw burdensome it is for parents to transport to work, take chiyto school and travel for health care services unde the current situation....No balance sheet or P&L can adequately capture that but a cheaper means of transport will indeed be of immense benefit to all of us....So no your ask for details about costs is like saying government should cease providing health care because is is expensive....Why even bother to have a government in the first place!

How wish what you posted was verbal and hear how sloppy you sound.......so because you are hungry the country should go a borrowing so you can fuel ur car for cheap or so you can get dollars at subsidised rates so you can easily send ur kids abroad for education and vacation with ur side chick in dubai.

What ever welfare the govt is throwing your way always comes at a cost and someone os paying for it......the free healthcare and education in some countries is being paid for in taxes and Insurance.

seunmsg:
We have reasonable and sensible Nigerians all over the country who understand equity, fairness and justice. They also understand the economic challenges of the country and the tough decisions that government need to take to rescue the country from total economic collapse. So, those are the ones who voted for Tinubu across the country in 2023. That a lot of such people exist all over the country doesn't mean the Born to rule conservative northern elites do not exist.

We just saw Isaacs fayose in pains over Nigerians in the UK supporting tinubu,i bet obidients will call those ones paid as well.......27 is when tbey will be finally bite all the dust we have in the country

AMINDA:
In one breadth, you say "born to rule conservative northern elites wants back power in the north by all means" and in the same breadth, you say "both NDC and ADC are badly damaged vehicles that can go no where". So which is it? If the born to rule that gave Tinubu 65% of his votes in 2023 suddenly wants power back by all means, why then are you projecting that Tinubu will win Kano? The North wanted power back by all means, yet, Tinubu could only win 4 Yoruba states out of 17 Southern states. How then did he become president? Where did his votes come from? Ingratitude!

Stop obfuscating with your redundant logic about tinubu loosing 2 SW states in 23 obj didn't win anyone in 99 but he still got his second term.....you can see the way osun state politicians are falling over themselves to deliver the state to him this time around also his people in lagos have already promised him that the fluke of 23 will never repeat itself.

You should be more worried atiku doesn't have that kind of structural support anywhere both north and south......atiku never won kano and he wouldn't this time that should be of bigger worry to you.

AMINDA:
The news is fake, but Obidients should realise that if Kwankwaso was eager to remove Abba Kabir from power, he would have fielded Gawuna instead of giving the ticket to Gwazo with his own son as deputy. On Kwankwaso's request, Tinubu took the Kano APC structure from Ganduje and Barau and handed it over to a newly defected Abba from Kwankwaso's camp. This is after humiliating Ganduje out of office as Chairman. It is naivety to think he did this out of the blues.

The gov is the leader of the party in his State,nobody took anything from ganduje,he still has all federal appointments for the state under his influence,he still retains some HOR and KSHA seats.....ganduje really delivered the uppercut to kwakwanso in the most gruesome manner.

Flangelo12:
You mean we should compare the price of the measly 1.7 million barrels with those that produce 4 million?


This Atiku na illiterate.

Anyone that brings up this argument is a plonker.

I'm talking to you.

Atiku cant throw the figures out on what it will cost the country because he knows his scam will be detected immediately.......he should throw out the figures but he can't because its so impractical.

His jaundiced mouthpiece up there isn't even aware it cost just $3 to get a barrel of crude out of the ground in Saudi Arabia,the cheapest in the world far below the world average of $36 to $45 and you want to compare with Nigeria

Angola has a smaller population than ours and they are already making attempts to also end the subsidy regime in their country because its unsustainable.

All the other countries produce far more crude than us and a far smaller population,Kuwait isnt even up to ogun state in population.......these people are catching cruise because they know how ignorant many Nigerians are and lack critical reasoning

whatmoreng:
I like this new Atiku. Now this is real opposition. Obi can now hide when real men are talking.

Atiku all well meaning Nigerians are behind you. No more wasting votes to prove yeye point. Make Nigeria work again.

Did you read that part shuaibu said their economic team are still looking at the figures to come out with a policy framework, so you mean to say they don't even have the details of what they intend to change,imagine a father promising he will build a bigger house than tbeir neighbours without even first knowing the cost components of such a project.......noh be scam be that.

Atiku cant throw tbe figures out because his scam would be found out immediately, the figures are so impractical that it will be political suicide for him and economic suicide for the country.

ratcock:
Atiku truly came out for this tinubu and his Apc administration. He is asking the right questions and ensuring that these people feel the heat.
He should keep it up in putting them under pressure.
Every policy of this administration has been draconian and severe to the citizenry.

Thats what politics should be,it should be about issues and the candidates coming out to tell the people what tbey will do different........not like taht one that all he comes out to say are amorphous statements with no specificity on how he intends to make it better........yapping BS about him wanting to move Nigeria from consumption to production when he has never owned a single factory all his life.,quoting statistics unrelated to our contemporary realities.......I loke the way atiku is taking the shine off him and throwing him out of the equation.

AWONEYAN:
The North has always being the greatest beneficiary of every government policies from OBJ to Jonathan and now.

But they will still ask for more.

Don't try to over please them ask Jonathan
Just do your best for Nigeria

Look at that acf scribe opening g is mouth to spew such nonsense,a supposed elder statesman.......how is the issue of out of school children in the north tinubu's problem? Did tinubu introduce the almajiri culture that's prevalent in that region and being upheld steadfastly by the people.

He was even showing crass ignorance in crude oil market variables by i inferring we should be i slated from world pricing dynamics and that we should determine our prices our self,like the crude doesn't come at a cost and it's sector is totally deregulated.......the clown was even calling ND oil our oil loke he has ever visited the region once to even emphatise with the people on the environmental challenges and all round socio-economic suffering the people are going through.........ND oil is our own oil but zamfara gold and northern cattle doesn't belong to all of us.

yaroinsiders:
The vice president is often described as the second most powerful person in Nigeria.

The office comes with prestige, security, official residence, access to the presidency and a prominent place in government.

Yet many Nigerians still ask a simple question:

How much power does a vice president actually have?

The answer is more complicated than many people think.

The vice president is not a co-president

One of the biggest misconceptions about the office is that the vice president shares executive power equally with the president.

That is not the case.

Under Nigeria’s constitutional system, executive authority is vested primarily in the president.

The vice president serves as the president’s deputy and performs duties assigned by the president or the Constitution.

In practical terms, this means the vice president’s influence often depends on the relationship with the president.

The vice president can chair major committees

Although the office has limited independent constitutional powers, vice presidents frequently lead important government initiatives.

Over the years, vice presidents have chaired economic councils, investment committees, privatization programmes and policy implementation teams.

This allows them to influence major national decisions even when they are not making the final call.

Access to the presidency is power

In politics, influence is not always written into law.

A vice president who enjoys the trust of the president can become one of the most influential figures in government.

Ministers, governors, lawmakers, diplomats and business leaders often engage with the vice president on critical issues.

This access can translate into significant political influence.

The vice president can become acting president

One of the office’s most important constitutional functions is continuity of government.

If a president travels abroad, becomes temporarily unavailable or is unable to perform official duties, the vice president can serve as Acting President.

Nigeria witnessed this during the administration of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, when Vice President Goodluck Jonathan eventually assumed greater responsibilities before becoming president.

The vice president automatically succeeds a president who leaves office

If a sitting president dies, resigns or becomes permanently unable to continue in office, the vice president assumes the presidency.

This makes the office one of the most important safeguards within Nigeria’s democratic system.

Several countries have experienced constitutional crises because of succession disputes.

Nigeria’s Constitution provides a clear line of succession through the vice presidency.

Why some vice presidents appear more powerful than others

Not all vice presidents exercise the same level of influence.

Some become highly visible and actively shape government policies.

Others operate quietly behind the scenes.

The difference often depends on several factors:

Relationship with the president
Political experience
Public profile
Party influence
Assigned responsibilities
National circumstances
A vice president trusted by the president can wield considerable influence.

A vice president excluded from key decisions may appear far less powerful.

Can a vice president hire or fire ministers?

No.

The vice president does not have the constitutional authority to appoint or dismiss ministers, governors, military chiefs or heads of federal agencies.

Those powers belong primarily to the president, subject to constitutional requirements and legislative approvals where applicable.

Why politicians still fight for the position

Despite its limitations, the vice presidency remains one of the most sought-after offices in Nigeria.

The position offers:

National visibility
Access to government decision-making
Influence within the ruling party
A pathway to the presidency
Significant political relevance
Many vice presidents have later become presidential candidates, while some have gone on to become president.

Full story here: https://yaroinsider.ng/how-much-power-does-a-nigerian-vice-president-really-have/

We see where you are going with this. .......if the govt is misgoverning the country or making policies tantamount to your own convictions,the VP candidate resign based on principle........not to openly be seen to be undermining your principal and actively be seen trying to compete for political power and Imfluence with which will inadvertently destabilise the govt from within and throw the populace into jeopardy.

But that VP didn't care and was overridden by ambition,he didn't carr at what cost to his principal or to the people,same way he has wantonly disregarded the unwritten convention on power rotation.
