Another product of a failed academic system. I won't help your mental incapacitation. If you need mental help, return to JAMB

Bring out your facts to counter what the president has said.....what's so difficult in that?

Instead you are spewing in the mouth like an abandoned wife who sees nothing good in what her husband does.

OChimex:
Mumu liar. How can an old man be lying like a kid? Does he think the reality won't counter his lies?
Why is Tinibu this stupid?
So this is his master strategy? Lie in the face of glaring evidence?

Do you have proof to counter his claims?

ActiveFarms:
When would Nigerians youths develop strong thinking ethics. When ? You mean to say once government releases any info, you take it hook, line and sinker without any critical evaluation just because of your ethnocentrism and bigotry. Smh. Shame on your education, a cocoa farm would have yielded better rewards



Now to educate you, Ways and Means was converted to bonds, transferring the debt burden to Nigerian youths to bear the burden yet again for so many years in addition to existing loans by converting them to bonds doesn't mean it was repaid


Where and how does Nigeria have the means to repay 37 Trillion Naira overnight. Do you people hate yourselves so badly all because of bigotry. Tueh

It's better you come out with proof to counter the president's assertion than making erroneous disapproval devoid of logic.

Festy4u:
If you do believe all those policies you enumerated was geared towards lifting the nation economically, then you are on a long thing.

Again, every of their policies so far are anti people at best. It shores up money for them to have enough to spend lavishly on their foreign trips and buying new aircraft while they beckon on the people to be patient!

And, stop calling on serious nations when referring to Nigeria. Those counties understand what it take to run a country unlike our imbecilic government!

Don't be too pedestrian in your thinking or way of life.... Nigeria can afford to buy a private jet for it's president,that shouldn't be your focus,people in this economy you are complaining is so bad are doing wonders.

People who reason the way you do are only espousing excuses for their lack of ambition.

Festy4u:
Maybe you will prefer they all die of hunger because you iare in support of a leader that's wasteful in every sense and wants the nation to understand!

A case of implementing policies that enriches his pocket to the detriment of the people.

Inform the police my foot!

Nobody stops you from protesting,there are different forms of protest one of which you are already doing.

You are complaining of hunger without first understanding the major reasons for this.....the naira has been devalued and you can't reverse such policy even if you want to overnight or just with the wave of the hand.... devaluation has it's advantages and disadvantages,it depends which side of the spectrum you are on.

Subsidy has also been removed to free up resources to cater for other needs of the people.....this equally isn't a bad move in itself but I agree the manner of implementation isn't perfect but it's a policy the economy needs to free itself.

China, Singapore,US,UK didn't get where they are today by driving lexus and Benz's with a paltry GDP of 350 billion USd,they dug deep and suffered the pains to get where they are today.

Festy4u:
Such happens ln countries where despots are in power!

Maybe Nigeria under APC has suddenly become one!

You have to inform the security agencies,even in the organised climes we always like to compare with go ask anyone.

Protests if not well managed can degenerate into civil unrests that could pose serious threats to life and properties......the end sars protests readily comes to mind.except you are an anarchist,that's the only reason you would wish same on the country in this perilous times.

CyrusVI:


You guys are always full of negative articles on every single Independence day we've celebrated since 2010

Prophets of Doom. Not even Nostradamus had so much negative prophecies in his book


Nigeria will be great again


Those reforms are neccessary and these delusional texts from a drunk writer wont change the future

Rather than chastise the article,I think it's rather on point for me......it goes to show that the comatose state we are in as a nation has been as a result of the degenerative manner we have been running this country......it also goes out to prove that,Nigeria's problems didn't start today.

Festy4u:
So people who want to protest peacefully should be boxed to a particular area in a country they claimed they are from!

It's better telling them to go to Ghana to proest!

Have we suddenly become this daft under the APC government!

What a country!

Are you not supposed to inform the security agencies on time, location and agenda when planning a protest?

southsouthking:
Chai brainwashed ediot.
To think you can't even afford 3 square meal a day any longer.
I blatantly told one like of your Tinubu supporter yesterday, the day he'll beg me for money again, I'll pour spit in his eyes.

Why is it that it's mostly you anti tinubu supporters that is are always shouting hunger......I have travelled to 5 different towns outside Lagos in the past 2 weeks and everything is normal in those places and people going about their businesses.....but you bloody obidients are the ones always screaming like people are actually dropping dead on the streets.

Go sit down and use your head on how your miserable hate filled life will be better.

Bebigiby1:
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....

Stop sitting behind your phone and typing....enter street go join protest

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

There is a place already approved for the protest....why go and hold your own unapproved protest elsewhere.....they have to be stopped quickly so as not to escalate the security situation.....if you want to protest,go to eagle square.

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

Majority of the others not speaking have nothing to loose if Wike gets the upper hand and nothing to gain if it's atiku.....they alone would single handedly decide who gets the party ticket in 2027.

Also majority of them are fist term govs and wouldn't want to get in the firing line by supporting any of them so as not to jeopardise their chances for second term....what's the point in getting dirty in a fight between Wike and atiku,what if you end up on the loosing side?

Zamfara isn't settled,Enugu has LP breathing down his neck, plateau would rather look away,delta doesn't want to carry the weight if financing the party alone,osun and oyo would rather stick with their kinsman,akwa ibom is equally not bothered,rivers is in his own mess already,bayelsa is too close to rivers to want it distabilised,Taraba really can't do much and Bauchi is for no one but himself,fintiri also knows atiku is getting spent.

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

I have traveled to 30 of the 36 states in Nigeria,agbero is in every state,yes Lagos takes the capacity understandably due to it's population size and commercial nature.

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

Wike is one of the most dependable allies anyone could have,name it from amaechi to GEJ to the legacy PDP in edo state to tinubu to,remember the former NDDC woman that was being tainted by akpabio,remember how wike protected her even with his own life same for fubara when amaechi was trying to use efcc to haunt him.

These things don't just happen but it's your past antecedents that would speak for you.....Wike alone single handedly make atiku loose the presidency......that guy is going to be the next vice president after shettima.

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

Before now,I thought it was only in Lagos we have agbero.... didn't know other states do as well.

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.

Leave those bitter souls who are filled with hate and can't see beyond there noses....we told them obaseki was toast long before the elections but their online support was only what it was,online!!

We told them all those wabara and co that were emphasising with fubara were only there to cash out and puff empty air even Bala Mohammed knows is limits and is just making mouth......fubara would eat his breakfast alone and in the cold......who could be so dumb as fubara.....still beats me hollow how a man with no known pedigree in politics would now see himself as a maverick just within 4 months.

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.

Labour party would have been the final nail on his coffin..... you think fubara is that dumb!! He wouldn't even last Dec this year if he had gone to LP,he is already an orphan in PDP.....if he is wise he can still go back and seek peace.

lafiagi007:
30 PhD holders? What/Who is now left in the uni?

The zazuu crooner should be up for it!! School or zazuu

dawnomike:
Hello Op...

I love your determination, perseverance and daunting mindset.

After your M.sc, reach out to me... I will love to have you in my organization.

By the way, I will be travelling to portharcourt occasionally this remaining part of the year... Hopefully, we can meet in person.


Cheers and wishing you all the best!!!

Look at all the hypocrites on this thread,if he were to be residing in Lagos all you would have all been shouting tinubu,agbero,MC oluomo like it's only in Lagos you have agbero.

The agberos in the east are far worse than those in the west ,I have experienced them firsthand at upper iweka and assumpta in Owerri also at rumuokoro in PH,delta don't even go there.....abia is hell.....but it's only Lagos you all love to spit on and talk thrash about.

tunjijones:
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.

Not all dams are for hydro power,there are different types and sizes of dams....however I. Europ as you mentioned,their are strict laws about property development especially in low lying flood plains so as to avoid things like this.however here in Africa,it's anything goes and no one really cares where you build your house,even if it's right in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

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!

It was adopted by Gbenga Adeyinka CFR,comedian of the federal republic.

[quote author=naptu2 post=132192539][/quote]This were great men no doubt who ruled the air waves in their time however,times have changed and their acts would no longer be considered relevant.

I remember many of those names moving on to FM from the mid 90s thanks to babangida's liberalisation of the electronic media which birthed the likes of Ray power,rhythm FM,DBN TV,clapper board TV,Minaj communication....I remember the only FM stations in 1996 were ogbc 2,Abeokuta and ray power,alagbado, imagine having just 2 stations on your FM
band in Lagos.

Many moved to Daar communications,owners of Ray power and AIT... Mainasara ilo,emeka odikpo,momoh kubanje,ohiria enakhimio,Godwin asuquo and Zachary mohammed......obi alegbe went private but still ran shows on NTA 5,really lovely voice and accent on television.......Femi sowoolu and JAJ moved on to rhythms 93.7 owned by the Bruce's.

I think ohiria's daughter is also a broadcaster on AIT.

Is Christopher Kolade the same Christopher Kolade the highly respected administrator.

[quote author=naptu2 post=132192534][/quote]You forgot to mention the legendary Justus esiri,Dr Sid's dad........and Mr Jabadu!!

tunjijones:
Why are all the dams releasing water?

Is it a normal practice?

Yes it is, dams have there water retention capacity and the water needs to get released when beyond that capacity especially during raining season.

It is done almost every year,even dams in Cameroon affects people here in Nigeria when released because water by nature would always find it's course no matter what.

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 ...

There should have been irrigation channels where this water would have been useful for agriculture so as to avoid flooding in the densely populated parts of the water flow course.

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.

Very irresponsible of govt to just tell people to leave their homes without providing temporary shelters for them......this thing happens every year and their already should be a plan in place to cater for the affected people till the water recedes.

That statement by the commissioner is callous and no iota of empathy on his side " if they refuse to leave then they should face the consequences" leave to where,how,when? Govt business needs to be handled with the highest level of responsibility.

Before you quote me I am a tinubu supporter,but I am not a mindless supporter like obidients ...... what's wrong is wrong!!

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.

Which bank in Nigeria isn't a conduit for money launderers.....access bank was at a point very notorious for fraudulent transactions.

Doyin okupe's grand father,old money family from iperu Ogun state same place with Kensington adebutu maybe that was why he invested in the bank to still keep it within his kinsmen.

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.

One of the best places to put your money in this economy is transportation and food businesses......I am a business man and I know this."a lazy man complains about his tools"

Yes you have a right to complain but my grouse is people like you who wouldn't be ready to adjust but would want things to still be as they were to the detriment of the whole economy..... people are living their lives and doing there businesses.

Not while ortom is alive......when Wike talks about putting fire in some people's states,you all thought it was a joke......the PDP will remain divided long enough till it's too late to put up any fight against the APC....same is happening in LP right now.

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

You would to then expect a southerner to go queue on election day and vote another northerner after Buhari already did 8 yes.... It's same dilemma for obi,the north wouldn't want to vote another southerner to replace tinubu because because oce he gets to power 2nd term is always almost impossible to ignore.

The only go between is GEJ who constitutionally can only spend 1 term but he is rather too timid and not too kin on the prospect.....if tinubu wins 2027 don't be surprised because the odds are highly staked in his favour.

Politics isn't about sentiments or noise making.

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.

The govt is still the regulator of the sector,however energy pricing isn't directly under the purview of govt anymore....govt getting involved is about govt setting prices and it no longer is a free market and this would scare many investors away.....that's same complaint the refinery owners have been making that govt needs to hands off.

Juxtaposing with America....do you know how much taxes and average working citizen pays to the govt .....how many Nigerians pay taxes or are willing to buy same Nigerians want to enjoy subsidised fuel,power,air travel and even free food if possible.
