Nigerians have entitlement mentality? For a government who swore by the constitution to provide the basic amenities in other to complement their own interests? Are you even thinking?

The Nigerian government is suppose to be taken to The Hague for war crimes against humanity for our living conditions!

No govt would go bankrupt in trying to provide amenities for it's people.....pms isn't even one of those basic amenities.

History is replete with many govts that have fallen for trying to provide what it can't afford.venezuela,Greece,Zimbabwe, Mubarak's Egypt,Sri Lanka etc,now tell me if this countries are any better than they were pre crisis.

The govt cannot keep subsidising petrol for you because it causing undue strain on the economy $25 billion monthly is too huge a bill to pay monthly.

EyeCumInPeace:
We still dey balablu and $1 don reach ₦1.6k.
By the time we enter Bulaba, na over ₦3k be that.

you said same thing last year

Mercenary123:
. Even Jesus is with Damagum

Typical of yorubas

I expect you to counter me with your own posits and not this lame attempt at tainting obvious facts as pedestrian.

CodeTemplarr:
Yes but he undeniably amplified the hardship when in a strong position to reduce it. All through planting season, he was busy with politicking and propaganda. Hope he doesnt blame excess rain for poor harvest also. There was excess rain under Buhari and GEJ yet they didnt leave the agric ministry to autopilot ministers.
There was locust attack from wast africa under buhari, most of us didnt know of it because someone did his job. Tinubu only responded to insecurity in Zamfara and Kaduna after planting season elasped. I wonder what the game plan is.

If tinubu were to continue on the trajectory GEJ and Buhari were going Nigeria by now would have ran aground.

What was oil production during Buhari and what is it now?

How much was being expended on fuel subsidy then and now?

How much was being expended defending the USD then and now?

This challenges you are facing now are things we should have done since obj and by now we would have overcome and things would have been better but we kept postponing doomsday and the govt didn't have the political will to make the hard decisions to the detriment of us all.

Oghene86:
This is just one man amongst the many, he is not relevant as of today, majority of the governors are requesting for a change there's nothing he can do

Who are the govs? Bala Mohamed and who.....you people won't ever get it,it's not about damagum remaining in office but that the interest of damagum and Wike prevails in the PDP.....all the others are just making noise.

vanitybutiwanti:
wike won't hurt mbah, mbah is not an interested party in the fight, in any case, they are friends.

Mbah wouldn't want to get in the firing line because his interest is already well protected and also pdp's influence has been greatly diminished in the SE.

vanitybutiwanti:
Did you vote for the so called igbo governor? Do you know the kind of alignment he had with Tinubu to retain his seat? When you were voting LP top to bottom, you didn't know that Mbah was also competent? I remember how hard mbah fought to be governor and you think he won't protect his interest? There's no ethnicity up there, it's all about interest.

Don't mind those political neophytes!! They think politics is about shouting contest and chest beating as they do in their clan meetings.....a people who just hate for hating sake and getting wantonly sentimental about the most irrelevant issues.....they have met their match in tinubu and Buhari before him who has ignored them and keeps shutting them up at every turn

Mercenary123:
Igbo governor in PDP should not join the southwest and makinde in playing the spoiler

This people do not care about us. The only way APC CAn remain in power in 2027 is if PDP fails organize themselves in unison and continue to play into the hands of their enemies in the west and wike who doesn't want the party to survive. Responsible PDP and labour party should form a merger to unseat this calamitous regime of the APC led by the yorubas because they have failed Nigerians

The entire south is with damagum except maybe delta and Edo for obvious reasons,delta because of okowa/atiku,Edo because obaseki is not in wike's good books.......Enugu wouldn't want to bother about damagum because he needs Abuja to protect him against obi and LP,akwa ibom is with whoever akpabio supports and bayelsa wouldn't want to get involved with what is happening in rivers as rivers and bayelsa are like Siamese twins politically.

The major anti damagum propagators are the expired PDP members and those eyeing 2027 Like Bala Mohammed,tambuwal and co.....they don't really have the govs behind them

Bobloco:
Buddy, this is not factual

Pls would love to see your point of difference!!

Bobloco:
Which structure did he build? 

Stop these lies, falsehoods, and propaganda. 

Rivers State had been a PDP state long before he became governor.

He as well inherited other people's structures because he became governor, and he didn't become governor by his own making. Some one, some people helped in one way or another to make him governor.

I think you got this all mixed up buddy,we on the same side!!

Bobloco:

And has any of those who helped him come out and accused him of betraying them.....intact it was amaechi who betrayed Wike same for abe, What he has going for him is that he is an ever dependable ally.....this isn't about hate but about common sense,fubara is the traitor pure and simple,if he knew he wasn't going to keep to the terns agreed with Wike,why accept his offer......I can bet you wouldn't tolerate a quarter of what fubara is doing to wike if you had the chance.

Look at edo state,Wike stood with the legacy pdp members of orbih,ihiama and co against
obaseki when he wanted to push them out after helping him become gov......he could have chosen the easier option if supporting the gov but Wike wouldn't throw is friends under the bus.....despite all the betrayals and back stabbings,they still stands tall above them all.

Bobloco:
Look at them, supporters of evil

Making excuses for a wike

Let me ask you too, would Wike have allowed any muderfucker take over the state party structure as a sitting governor?

Who would dare......the fact that he built the structure himself is the reason he is not allowing fubara destroy what he built...... don't you get it,fubara is the evil one by betraying an agreement between both of them,neither if us was there when fubara decided to eat with the devil and he decided not to use a long spoon .....I have no sympathy whatsoever for a betrayer,look at what obaseki is suffering now same fate awaits fubara and all betrayers.

zoedew:
You don’t get it. Kindly create a thread for the thoughts that preoccupy your mind and interested folks will join you there. Do not derail this discussion.

What gives you the right to spread purile narratives which people like me are trying to correct.......you brought this upon yourself by attempting to spread falsehood.

highchief1:
ok u want him to make a public speech.try Dey observe bros no be everything person Dey argue.i hope no be if u watch big brother finish u jump into nairaland politics section.u may do better on entertainment section

Don't mind those guys.....they know nothing and the funny thing is how they make so much noise displaying their ignorance......they led fubara to his own downfall by urging him on the road to perdition despite every sane mind telling fubara to be careful,now look where he has ended . . .they aren't even in rivers to come and help him.

Forget the charade being put up by Bala Mohammed and wabara in showing solidarity with fubara but would leave him to face his damnation.. ... most of the govs are with Wike,seyi makinde and adeleke already said this much

popesco123:
Can't you think of calamity thinubu has brought upon your kids? Is this a country?


quote author=zoedew post=132064741]Traitors don’t end well. Fubara acts in desperation. He is now feeding on himself! He just deployed a scorched earth battle strategy that will place his back to the wall very soon.? His worst years are playing out before his very own eyes! It is most dishonourable and foolish to accept office on a platform provided by a political structure and thereafter turn around to refuse to maintain the platform. It is similar to a carpenter who climbs the roof of a building and destroys the ladder which he used to ascend the roof. He will come crashing down. The personal hatred folks have for Wike won’t save Fubara. Only God can!

What calamity has he brought more than yourself trying to create false narratives about what's happening in the country and not wanting to accept that it's no longer business as usual and we have to collectively get the economy out of the woods .

Bobloco:
Wetin concern Atiku with what is happening in Rivers State 

Why do you lots continue to support evil? 

Let me ask you, will Wike himself tolerate this nonsense he is meting out at Fubara if he were still governor of Rivers State today? 

Will Wike accept a situation whereby, as governor, he will not be the PDP leader in his state?

The scenarios are different.....Wike had been a king maker since amaechi's time,he stood against amaechi when he refused supporting GEJ......he single handedly fought for amaechi's ticket and drove out omehia and alsi brought him back after he ran to Ghana.

He felt hard done by when amaechi was having funny ideas about trying to stop Wike from achieving his own dream of becoming gov.

Wike his a very loyal ally,he stood vehemently behind GEJ against all odds that's why mama peace still respects him so much,he is also doing same with tinubu and that's why the president also respects him a lot......nobody has ever come out to accuse wike of betrayal.

Thundafireseun:
Who will finance the cost of pursuing the criminals …. Do you know how much is a litre of fuel?

But we have been getting results lately on our counter terrorism......who has been financing the cost of pursuing the criminals?

Thundafireseun:
Continue telling yourself things to make you ejaculate properly….

Yet the bandits you see on TikTok are yet to be arrested…

There needs to be the political will to get these guys.

fredoooooo:
Italia 90 ..Toto Schilaci

Toto schilaci along side Carleto,franco baresi,Paulo maldini,Roberto Mancini,donadoni,Roberto baggio etal.....Italia 90!!

Kobojunkie:
Lorry no be truck again? Some lorries actually run on gasoline still.

Well, like I said, according to https://derollsynergy.com/diesel-prices-today/. the price of diesel in Nigeria has not remained the same in September. So?

It's still within the same range it's been about 5 years now.....nothing unusual compared to pms that jumped over 50%.

Exousiang01:
Good job.
This same gun runner was probably somewhere last week insulting the governmenr over insecurity…..

Where are the obidients to come and appreciate the NA for the good job they are doing .....I trust you won't find them here in so far it's not negative news about Nigeria ......wait till they come blame tinubu that it's his economic policies that drive this one's into crime......the most pathetic lot to ever walk the face of the earth.

Thundafireseun:
Useless NA … you think the other members haven’t seen pictures you display online??

They will have taken everlasting cover , where even their shadows won’t locate them

There is nobody that can't be traced so far he has an identity and a phone number......it's only a matter of time......there is a dossier already with the NSA on the big wigs sponsoring these things and they know it.

Kobojunkie:
You certified this yourself? I have driven trucks myself and many of them ran on gasoline.

Anyways, according to Derollsynergy Diesel Fuel Price is N1,200 per liter at Deroll Synergy Oil and Gas Ltd as of the first week of September 2024. Price has also gone up since then.

I don't get.....how many post 3 ton trucks have you driven that uses petrol? Diesel has long been deregulated long time ago and heaven didn't fall......the industries that drive the economy all run on diesel and gas and won't really feel the hike in fuel prices.

Kobojunkie:
How can it be cheaper when the cost of petrol has been raised 2 times in just the month of September alone? Dem no dey transport the rice?

The trucks that bring the rice uses diesel and not petrol.

nairalanda1:
Especially tinubu

Also tinubu isn't making our economy productive. That's why he is a bad leader

How do you get an economy productive if not by removing the barriers that has been holding it down.

Fuel subsidy and defending the naira to has been a major drain in the economy and the govt is trying to correct this and it's already yielding some results though infinitestimal.

The naira has found it's real value where it is at against the dollar because govt have refused spending our scarce resources defending the naira to the benefit of the rich who would buy and import everything and anything.....the main reason your naira is doing poorly is the unbridled demand for dollars.

Fuel subsidy is been removed and the govt not wanting to use scarce resources providing cheap petrol that benefits the rich more,u now buy what you use and use efficiently,no more wastage.

mankan2k7:
All these useless governo are d problem of Nigeria. They are thieves, bandits and greedy people. We should all go and learn a skill on how to stone them.

But they will keep blaming tinubu for Nigeria's woes rather than take an unbiased look at the level of rot in this country.

nairalanda1:
The fact is, most states are not earning enough IGR.

If states really wanted to earn IGR, they would tax more people in their states...however that would lead to riots and protests. Meanwhile, oil revenues are falling, and the oil price is not where we want it to be, and FG revenues are shit.

So, at the end, governors take more loans.

That is how it has been....because your average governor like the presidency is scared to go the tax route.

Not tinubu!!

Covid19lockdown:
Anambra serviced its debt with N4.8bn but got N18.61bn IGR at a ratio of 25.9 per cent.

I can beat my chest, you did not read the articles from beginning to end. Read again.

Don't mind people like him who always want to punch above their iq level....yapping on about what they know nothing about and forming jaundiced opinions on their gradually uninformed ilk.

nairaman66:
FG return subsidy, else this country will tumble on you and everyone. The Naira is being bashed up and down by this single decision, there is no purchasing power of the Naira, since demand is low. PMS is the engine room of the economy, Tinubu cover your face in shame and introduce subsidy else everything will crumble!

If I was buying 10 liters of PMS before, I will buy 3-4 liters now. Meaning less money to go round. This is the reason the economic metrics are all going down/red! Useless old fools in sensitive positions!

Not true ....Nigerians are stoic agitators with wanton entitlement mentality.

The engine room of the economy is AGO and gas which all industries that are the major drivers of any economy rides on......subsidy has long been removed from these and heavens haven't fallen.
All you need do is adjust yourself with modern work techniques that doesn't require you having to head out of your environ everyday....many organisations now adopt work from home schedules that has been proven not to affect productivity in anyway.

Shared transportation is being adopted by many which has lead to less environmental pollution,less stress on transport infrastructure and more efficient use of energy.......i drive my car less as there is less need to move around and I can leave without noisy generators as there is renewable energy alternatives.

10. Edo State

• IGR: N34.44 billion
• Debt-to-Revenue Ratio: 65.8%

A lot of these states are about to fail or face liquidity crises, some of these states should not be allowed to borrow money without federal government approval, These debt servicing numbers shows gross fiscal irresponsibility, looting of funds by previous administrations and multiple other causative factors. Some of these states are sitting on large arable land and millions of unemployed people, who can farm those arable land, but everybody wants "oyel" money.

Don't mind those Dundee headed haters who would keep blaming tinubu for being smarter than obi and GEJ.

This is where there wanton rabble rousing should be directed and intellectual insight should be sort to this financial conundrum in abeyance to logic.

How can a state like ekiti be generating more IGR than almost all the northern states who gets far more from faac......also a state like abia which is a vastly commercial city earning less igr than ekiti or osun......indices such as this are some of the underlying factors the Nigerian economy is stuttering and poverty in prevalence.......some states are highly unproductive and poorly managed.

Imagine states like Katsina,borno,kebbi even Niger and plateau with all the population,landmass and economic potentials making so little IGR......but you wont find those headless obidients here since it's not about tinubu.

Nwaikpe:
I have one question:

Did he deal with Jihadist?

His tour of duty was of a different sort....it was a civil war and not terrorism and religious insurgency.

Charmingrascal:
Never heard about him.

He was a great soldier with exploits in Liberia and Sierra Leone civil wars respectively.
