Zik actually won elections in lagos and even defeated awo at some point,that led to the formation of AG by awo but many yorubas supported zik's NCNC against awo.

When awo fought back with nationalism,zik had to return to the east and his disdain for awo became further entrenched.

This singular mistake by both leaders not to agree to work together is one of the root causes of the problems we are still having today.......if both of them had been sensible enough to see the clear and present danger at the time.......Nigeria would have been a better place today and the north with their conservative ideology wouldn't have dominated us all.

Zionmdde:
Na wa ooo
The blame is still going way back 20years ago

Na wa ooo
These people have no shame at all

Did the govt pay the workers their due pensions and gratuities? Yes or no......atiku superintended the dissolution of Nigeria Airways as head of the national privatisation council but couldn't pay the dismissed workers what was due them....same atiku is now accessing another govt of promoting poverty,same govtvpaying the arrears of the same workers you laid off with out any severance......the biggest issue during the obj tenure was non payment of salaries and pensions to civil servants and military personnel,even police had to go on strike.

Opposition supporters are the greatest hypocrites ever!!

Obidients cone and help obi explain how he won the 23 elections,obi himself is as confused where that verbose came from.

Oma39:
But when he travelled to France, his attention was not needed ba? Truly speaking this present government have no direction. How would I vote for someone who cannot go for campaign even Donald Trump that is older than him went for his campaign.

Elections is a very rigorous exercise that demands a lot of energy and commitment.

Kukutente23:
Where's the lie
Scrutinise the below
Let me see if you're intelligent enough to understand simple data

Debt is debt!! But when you are lieing on tinubu that he ballooned our debts,you do not diffrentiate domestic from foreign and also deviously fail to acknowledge that tinubuvhas actually borrowed less in dollar terms......you always hide that to push ur warped narrative.

Pdp was basically crowding out the real sector from funding by diverting domestic capital to govt instruments while tinubu is doing the opposite.

Kukutente23:
OBJ never blamed the military for the state of the economy.
You must have been a toddler being fed hate from the Tinubu Media crew in those days which is why you are how you are now. OBJ blamed the military for his frequent travels saying years of military rule had made the country a "pariah" among the nations. That was the period that word was popularized in Nigerian lexicon. But economy-wise, he never blamed the military.

You also need to reduce your lies. It was foreign debt that was around $5bn not $3.6bn as at the time OBJ was leaving office. The domestic component of the debt was still there. The GEJ and Yaradua govt also followed OBJ's trajectory of increasing domestic debt and moderating external debt.

It was Pa Buhari and now Tinubu that ballooned our external debt profile which is usually where the trouble is because of the effect foreign exchange has on such debt. And they didn't spare the domestic debt either while crashing the GDP from a high of $500bn+

APC is a cankerworm. End of story

Make you dey take small small dey lie

I support tinubu and Akpabio is one of us but I must agree Akpabio went way out of line with that statement.......depression isn't anything to joke about,its real and its the govt to see how they can help those suffering from it and not to make a joke of tbeir situation.

Anigreat:




Clown thinking that his opinion really matters. Obi is going to win Anambra with wide margin and there's nothing Sorrowdo and his minions APC tout can do.

Nobody is arguing with you,everything noh be nzogbu nzogbu......obi can win his anambra,we don't care,but tinubu will get his 25%,that's all he needs.......goodluck with ur obi!!

Atleast he is feeding the poor.......520k just for guzzling 6 wraps of swallow......I love this game,there is really no looser,atleast you get free food to chop.

To obidients wey dey cry hunger,nah ur fellow nigerian dey dash out about 500k so plus free food,you better go contest and stop disturbing us with your hunger tales.

IamPatriotic:
Do you really mean he has nothing to lose? My brother, Oyetola has plenty to lose, his candidates won't make it to National Assembly, or even state House of Assembly, Adeleke will nominate most of Osun state indigenes to President Tinubu in 2027, infact, Oyetola may not make it back to the Federal cabinet, except Asiwaju pity him, because he has zero value now. I hate when Asiwaju men disappoint, knowing what is at stake. Anyway, thank God, Adeleke is a good signee

Oyetola is still very useful and the apc machinery in osun is only wounded but not dead,tbey are still very formidable........apc will hold federal appointments while adeleke will demand they leave the state for him and 70% of positions.

Fiscus105:
Those that are ready to die for politicians, hope this would serve as eye opener for you people.

The man that Tinubu almost sniffed life out from him, in which tyrant backed down, when he realized if he went ahead, the consequences might consume, he himself, is the same man dindinrin" gov dancing to entertain for his reelection.

Those whose bodies are decaying in the grave now, how would they feel if they can look back and if they can't, how would their relatives feel?

You aren't smarter than adeleke when it comes to politics,who have you ever influenced in ur entire life......adeleke understands that game and he knew who were his enemies in which tinubu wasn't one......he was wise and chose his alliances wisely.....that makes him far smarter than makinde.

AWONEYAN:
Imole...

Oyetola will be like after all I did to block this man.
Lesson of life.
The pit you dig for someone may be the stage where they dance in to glory.
Where is Fadahunsi now
Where is Woke Oke now.

Oyetola has been put in his place together with aregbe......adeleke has proven to be better than them in the game and they have no choice but to fall in line......await Adeleke's grand entry into apc in 27......he wants it badly.

highness25:
And yet some people are hungry in this country.

So they should sell their properties and share the money with you......better let off this dysfunctional mentality as poverty will always be close to you.

nairalanda1:
NIgeria was a strong manufacturer in the 1970's , but the problem was...were we manufacturing for the world market or for ourselves?

Think about thaat. I want you to forget about tinubu and atiku and company. Making stuff does not mean a nation automatically becomes prosperous.

Manufacturing in NIgeria was better in the 1980's than it is today, yet we were poor and broke back then. We had all sorts of textile factories and so on, yet we were broke...why was that?

You can have all the manufacturing in the world, but if what you make is not competitive on the global market, forget about it. You go save forex on import, but not earn more than we already have.

I am not totally against your analogy but its trite when opposition keeps undermining our manufacturing capacity with their verbose propaganda.....we are over $50b in capacity far more than annual budgets of many African countries.

I agree we aren't there yet with less than N3tr in exports.......but its not like we are doing badly either......whatever savings we are making on imports will still help hold the naira stable.

Kukutente23:
Funny thing is that this idea of blaming the predecessor for every thing that goes wrong on your watch started with APC under Buhari.

3 Presidents took over from themselves under PDP with OBJ taking over from the military and we never heard all this daily moaning and whining about predecessors until APC took over

Buhari spent the better part of 8 years blaming Jonathan. Now Tinubu is hiding behind his minions to blame Buhari for every wrong that occurs as a result of his own policies. Imagine removing subsidy then blaming Buhari. How does this logic even make sense to you guys?

I bet you were still on ur mother's back when obj was president where everything was blamed on the military before him.......no one is whining here,its the obvious facts.

Tinubu is trying very hard to bring our debt servicing to revenue ratio to the gej era from about a 100% he met it.

Pdp or apc aside,I really feel obj biting the debt forgiveness bait there by forking out so much money at the time was a wrong policy.

We should have spent that money on power,energy refining and industries.......those investment by now would have come full circle several times over......but what did we get,the govt after him shot us back up to $60b debt from $3.6b he left it.

AMINDA:
Tinubu has outborrowed all previous presidents and this is just his third year. Yet, he is not paying fuel subsidies. He has barely implemented any budget since coming on board. He obtained approval to continue implementing the 2025 budget to December of this year, and this is 2026. Contractors are protesting everyday in Abuja due to nonpayment. So, what then is rhe magic that Tinubu has done aside plunging millions of Nigerians into multidimensional poverty as the latest data from the Worldbank shows? Buhari can name tangible infrastructure that his borrowed loans went into. 700mw Hydropower plant in Zungeru, Second Niger Bridge, Bonny-Bodo road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Warri-Itakpe Railway, etc. What is Tinubu borrowing for? Is it the coastal road that they are now making an about-turn on?

Stop telling lies,you should be atleast sensible enough to fact check what ever narrative your devious party mob pins to your head.

Yar adua Gej added over $60b to our debt stock 07 to 15 from $3.6b obj left it

Buhari added additional $40b

Tinubu has only don $12b in 4 yrs

DMO publishes these things but you unintelligent ones are never smart enough to check.

[quote author=AMINDA post=140907952]Tinubu asks "how high" whenever the IMF tells him to jump but Buhari called their bluff with good reasons, and heaven did not fall. IMF policies have never brought prosperity to any developing country. Not one. Only debt and penury. Buhari proved to be more economically sound, independent and humane than Tinubu.

This is why Buhari refused to float the Naira even with IMF pressure. Tinubu caved for power. Listen to Buhari here in his last Aljazeera interview. He explained why he is going against the IMF and their call for him to float the Naira. He even got visibly angry in this video… pic.twitter.com/ppASkEA1l4

how obtuse your logic sounds,"heavens didn't fall " don't you realise its our past misgovernance and wrongful economic policies that has already brought the heavens down on us.

Buhari added $40b to our debts you have been lampooning tinubu for trying so hard to service.......tinubu in 4 years cannot even surpass 50% of what Buhari borrowed but tinubu is the villian while buhari can be excused for being a northerner.

Odin13:
Tinubu will lose Taraba with great margins

You can type your brains out

But it is what is it

He can tie his apron to kefas and watch kefas untie it when it matters

You can seat in your dingy 4 by 6 room and be yapping nonsense......no party apart from pdp has ever gotten this much presence in taraba since 99 even if atiku manages to win,which i do not see without the formidable pdp structure. tinubu will come a close second.

Ofunaofu:
In 2023, APC claimed 41 million members, yet its presidential candidate managed barely 8.7 million votes. Today, the party’s membership claim has crashed to 10 million. If the same voting pattern applies in 2027, APC should be looking at just 2.12 million votes

The funny thing is how you guys really underestimate that man called tinubu,its really funny.....a man who had always been a thorn in the flesh of every givt since abacha and still standing,that same man now has all the power and you still consider him a joke for 27......I really laugh at you......27 is already here and lets see who the joke is.

Gotocourt:
Governors can't save Tinubu .

Is it you that will save atiku or obi.......mention the people make is here,you may have your own people we equally have ours and we are voting tinubu.

Odin13:
Tieing him self to governors aprons won’t help me ..

I saw that in kaduna Zaria Kano

He’s media are hiding a lot

They want to rig..

But lives will be lost .. especially in the north

Almighty buhari that atiku doesn't even come close to in cult followership learnt the hardway that no single region can make anyone president.......where is the atiku support base in the entire south, is it amaechi that couldn't give him 15% in rivers in 23,is it kwara,kogi,benue,plateau or nassarawa....how about shettima' s borno.

I can off my finger tell 12 northern states tinubu is sure of getting 40% votes,you cant mention 2 for atiku in the south.

Odin13:
Tinubu will lose Taraba!

Is so clear

There is no more pdp and atiku is having it difficult getting momentum for his ADC......tinubu already promised the NE presidency in 31.

Atiku has zilch to counter that.

[quote author=AMINDA post=140907888]Uniforms and caps again? Anyways, this one is from Plateau Youths. Tinubu is tieing his destiny to that of the governors so he can use their own campaigns to project an air of popularity but that's not the way it works. That was why Sanwo-olu, Umahi, Hope Uzodinma, Ben Ayade, etc won their own gubernatorial elections effortlessly but couldn't deliver Tinubu. It was not sabotage. It's just that Tinubu is more unpopular than the APC.

The rate at which Northerners are rejecting anything that resembles Tinubu is something I have never seen before. You took subsidy away from the masses and gave it to governors, thinking they would deliver for you. Let’s see how it goes. pic.twitter.com/lFLE1KLtvq

— DonAza (@DonAzag) October 14, 2026

not worry,this one's will be taken care of accordingly, you should worry more about the inability of your atiku to get his campaigns off the ground.......nobody knows him in the south,even if atiku wins any state up north,tinubu will cine a close second with less than 15% margin,can you say same of the south, atiku cant even manage a 30% loss margin anywhere in the south.

seunmsg:
For the first time since 2015, APC will win the presidential election in Taraba next year. Kudos to General Danjuma, Gov. Agbu Kefas and all the major political stakeholder in the state who are working relentlessly to deliver the state for Mr. President.

Aminda ran out of the room,we are still wondering if he is bringing his stones he promised to pelt tinubu supporters with in the north, we have seen adamawa,katsina,Kaduna south,kano,zamfara,jigawa was crazy also nassarawa but we never see any of amonda's urchins.

Safyqueen:
I am speaking for ADC. Atiku doesn't need campaign council for this election if you know what is cooking up in the north for Emilokan.
Two weeks or less than that to elections is when the political tsunami that will wash Emilokan away will start.
By then there is nothing anybody can do again, not even international communities can intervene for Emilokan.

For now everyone needs money from APC since they are the one controlling our national purse.

You mean to say only the north will make atiku president, buhari tried 3 times with about 12m votes the 3rd time but he still lule......its easy to see where atiku' problem is coming from,sycophants like you giving him false hope,show us just 3 states in the south atiku is sure of getting 25%

rossipki:
DO YOU ACTUALLY REALISE THAT OIL AND ACCOUNTS FOR LESS THAN 20% OF NIGERIA'S GDP?

GO SCHOOL YOU NO GREE. LEARN ON GOOGLE OR AI YOU NO GREE.

Tell the multiple,its just 5% of our GDP but the dimwitted obidients dont even realise if Nigeria total oil inco.e by annum were to be shared equally amongst every nigerian, nobody will get upto 500k.

nairalanda1:
Nigeria is not a producing country, beyond the refinery, it's a country that relies on the income it gets from oil to have something of a economy...and when the oil price is high, things look good.

Tinubu supporters who are rejoicing over the IMF statistics, should go back in time to 2015, and listen to tinubu acolyte Osibanjo speaking about what APC would do, and should compare it with what is happening to day, and then ask themselves the honest question...has it been as was planned?

Nigeria's manufacturing growth for H1 26 alone is already doing over 3%,nigeria alone is the largest manufacturing market in africa,second only to Egypt.....there is no way you can see or benefit from that growth of you arent in that space.

Tinubu is sustaining the growth to get us to where we should be,despite our epileptic power supply we still manage to achieve this much,imagine what it would be if we can build our grid.

You can choose whether to see doom or see progress,the choice is yours.

Mattswaggz:
There is something fishy going on here.....why is it that out of the top 5 projected growth rate, it's only Nigeria that it only exists on paper because there is nothing that indicates that everything is going in the right direction over here.

Nigeria's economy doesn't start and end in your stomach......if you are hungry,seek help,if you want prosperity,get on the right lane.

I saw an old man the other day selling posters and how was wondering how he makes a living......he will also be amongst those abusing tinubu and the economy,like tinubu got him there in the first place.

Wike should be reigned in and should be made to shut his mouth.....his showboating is all the more annoying but in second thought he is known to be a boisterous character and its been working for him several times over.

PBAT till 31.

Wike vs obi for president 2039......cant wait!!
