SadiqBabaSani:
So Pate will have to contest with TuggarM?

No its Wunti,that former NNPC director sacked by tinubu.

Omookunnimi:
Some journalist are very lazy, you can't confirm whether SDP, LP, NNPP AA, Accord and other parties are presents there.

It's deliberate just to make that joke of a talkshow look tenable to their gullible followers.....its just a sit down of disgruntled politicians who aren't even sure of being on the ballot in 27.

Mitsurugi:
I wish these guys were a year earlier. Anyway better late than never. Tinubu is undemocratic. The last President to exhibit such undemocratic tendencies a la third term was Obasanjo also from the SW.


And I'm not trying to be tribalistic here.

It's ok for other parties to adopt atiku but its wrong for them to adopt tinubu,if that's not hypocrisy,what other name should we call it? Atiku's major failing is his lack of emotional intelligence Not to know that you need to be totally distinct from your opponents in persona,approach and messaging.....atiku is in no way different from tinubu in anyway and thats what most Nigerians see.

Ofunaofu:
The Ibadan declaration ✌️

History remembers those who resisted Abacha; it will also remember Nigerians who stood their ground against the Tinubu regime, resisted the most wicked and draconian regime in the history of this country and brought it to a standstill

That Turaki has already been bought,he has nothing to loose,all he is doing is just to show face as a co opted member......someone that can't even stand to face Chris anyanwu let alone wike is telling us all this balderash about ammoiting presidential candidate.......oyo state citizens hope una dey see as makinde dey useless our money on these charlatans.

yarimo:
So all the coalition members can only bring 9 points not up to 10 , gathering of unfortunate losers wasting Oyo state tax payers money

Makinde is really annoying, what exactly is his end game,you are in cahoots with a group of people who are already 90% out of the 27 race and you have very high stakes even than many of those jokers in securing your state for your successor.

TimeManager:
Bro, calm down and stop the delusion. This was nothing than a low budget Amala Convention. We could see this as a result of the meeting between Makinde and his ADC bedmates that was held earlier in Abuja.
Makinde is hell bent on spending Oyo state's resources on frivolous and fruitless endeavor as well as his unrealistic ambition.
A so called opposition summit without APGA, SDP, NNPP, LP, and PDP (Wike's camp), is that one opposition summit OR an Amala summit?.
These guys joke way too much.

-Kiss the truth!

2 discarded factions that won't even be on the ballot in 27,bloody jokers......i haven't seen obi or amaechi in any of the ibadan charade pics or am I missing something.? Only saw him on the streets doing what he knows best,photo ops with is usual disillusioned supporters.

Bloody jokers!! "Release all politicians detained for bailable offences" how more despicably ludicrous can these guys be,how about several Nigerians languishing in detention and awaiting trial for years,el rufai himself was accused of throwing people in jail without trial,he is now here calling rule of law.

Hezzyluv:
Parachoko, yarimo and Co, the question you asked on the other thread has been answered here.

Tinubu really do us strong thing for this country. The approach he uses in this his economic reform policies has ruined things for the common man.

CNG is 389 naira per scm......a trip to ibadan from lagos cost 11,000 naira with 5k fuel.

You can go-ahead, its called playing safe.

Your curses cannot achieve anything, instead of you to come out and seek help,you are there cursing your fellow human whose only sin is that he contested and won the presidency of Nigeria,is that what your bible taught u.

Hope obidients can see its not only obi that gets supporters to the airport.

OredoPikin:
I repeat
It took EGYPT 2yrs and 4months to add 25,000MW to their power generation.
Tinubu has spent 2yrs and 11months as President, how many megawatts has been added to the national grid?
Or if they are still building it, can u tell where and show the picture or video of progress so far?
During the campaign period to 2023 election when Obi went to Egypt to study their power generation, there is nothing u guys didn't say to him. You even went as far as lying to Nigerians that Buhari has already sign deal with same Siemens that built the one of Egypt. U started showing us audio transformers
I ask you again where is the Siemens deal?
where are those transformers?
Are u guys not tired of deceiving your fellow Nigerians with lies and propagandas because of your selfish interest?
Where is the patriotism?
Where is the love for the country?

Tinubu told Nigerians that removing subsidies in every sector will solve our problems
Almost 3yrs counting and there is no hope in sight
We pay for electricity at a very high price and still don't get it
We can no longer afford fuel to run generators
You removed subsidies, one will expect okay, let's just fix electricity issue within this 4yrs so we can at least relieve the pains the citizens are going through
But no, he is telling us if don't see his achievement, we should go and wear eye glasses
What exactly are u guys defending?
How much are they paying u to watch and defend them as they destroy this country ?

Nobody has disputed the fact on the duration of the egypt-siemens project.the power project was slready part of the 20year development rolling plan of that country dating back to the mubarak era.....30b was singularly invested into that,egypt doesn't have the kinds of infrastructure challenges we have.......tinubu hasnt borrowed upto that alone.

Nigeria's power problem isnt just about building more plants but more about structural inefficiencies brought about by the 2013 privatisation of the sector..... if thay sector is sorted,the required investment will certainly come in.

Egypt national debt dwarves ours by 300%

Bros do it immediately to avoid matters thay touch.....if you have any trust issues its best to see it to a logical conclusion to either affirm or erase your doubts.....however, there is caveat,if you noh get strong mind ,its best to avoid it o,bros you fit shock sotey ur heart fit cut.

santopelele:
You are not just dumbb, so the other governments had not been increasing civil servants salaries and they have not been paying subsidy on electricity? How many bags of rice can a civil servant of this tinubu regime affords with all his salary increase? Oga incase you dont know, your almighty naira is now worthless under this your clueeeeless tilumbu regime. Stop defending rubbish

But those govts were borrowing to pay those salaries,this one isnt,let that sink.......those govts always told you nigeria's economy will crumble under the weight of subsidies but they weren't ready to pay the hard price to redeem our situation.......ban on rice imports have already been lifted to make it more affordable to those masses you claim are dieing of hunger.

Reference:
So why are we not using the little we have to boost productivity, by creating industries, businesses and jobs. Why is the emphasis on contracting and huge resources going towards procurement.

The latest loan is for a highway. How many centuries will it take for that highway to ROI. But if it was spent on power for instance to increase access and lower costs for businesses and industries, this will have a direct instantaneous impact with a sure ROI.

How and on what you spend your money when you are broke determines how long you remain broke and whether you will ever come out if it.

The billionaires of the world have one thing in common. Their investments are on normal everyday, affordable, essential goods and services that have the widest patronage and clientele, not the most expensive goods or the most exclusive services.

That is how national leaderships should think. Invest first in things that offer the widest possible economic leverage to as many citizens and enterprises as possible. When these are settled your tax net naturally widens and returns increase.

I acknowledge your intellectually sound and clear inferences on our financial crisis.

Road insfrastructure is equally as important as electricity insfrastructure, non is more important than the other......road insfrastructure is one of the quickest way to unleash the economic potentials of a country.......you will open up the hinter lands for more investments and development so your industries that will have access to uninterrupted power will be easily accessible......agric products can be evacuated from sokoto, kebbi and niger effortlessly and quicker to industries and people who need them in the south at a far cheaper cost and quicker turn around time also much needed machinery and technology can easily move through the corridor up north to sustain and drive the industries over there.......if you have constant electricity but no roads to drive your economy, you are equally not ready for development.

The funding plans for these road projects is totally different from that for electricity,the govt is spending upto 4 trillion naira on debts alone to that sector which is a recurring debt......thats about 30% of the cost of the coastal road alone which you will build only once.

OredoPikin:
It took EGYPT 28months, that's less than 3yrs and 39billion dollars to add extra 25,000MW to their power generation.
In a month from now, tinubu will exactly be 3yrs as President and he has borrowed over 30billion dollars in those 3yrs
I ask again, how many megawatts has he added to the national grid?
Where has Tinubu invested over 30billion dollars he has borrowed so far?
Please can u help us point to the sectors.
We want to know

It took egypt about 4 years from conception and planning to actual implementation, tinubu has barely done 3 years and you are comparing him to a govt that had been ruling Egypt since 2014,an authoritarian military govt at that .

Egypt debt to gdp is over 80% while Nigeria is still at 32%.......foreign debt alone is 3 times nigeria's.

And you are the one not being useless and foolish,you aren't even sure you would die in one piece.....if you were that smart why aren't you holding any office or leading people.

Nackzy:
This man is drunk in corruption.. I am very disappointed at his utterances ever since he became the Senate President

Juxtapose him with facts and not your vile rants just to sound obidient.....is nigeria not broke? Your sovereign wealth fund for 220 million people is just $2.4b in assets less than abdulsamad rabiu's net worth not to even mention dangote or adenuga.

Your annual budget is just $48.5b less than that of south Africa @ 163.2b usd or Egypt, 10 times lesser than california a single state in America and you expect magic.

OredoPikin:
Now that we are not losing those money under Tinubu, ain't we supposed to be enjoying?
We were losing money and enjoying then.
Now that they say we ain't losing money, but we are suffering
Please make it make sense

You were enjoying according to you by eating your tomorrow, what happened to the excess crude account set up by obj, it was drawn down in its entirety so you can be enjoying......gej and his co ordinatingministerfor the economy, the highly respected okonjo iweala were crying tobl high heavens that they were borrowing money to pay salaries and the subsidy regime and nigeria's economic model was unsustainable and it had to go but you didn't care because accordingto you una dey enjoy....now the chicken has come home to roost with nothing left you are now crying.

hegelian:
It's a function of time.. You will get tired too defending failures like your seniors have become.. You will defend defend to an extent even defence will be tired of you and you will realized while your seniors only show up when it's about Obi and ADC or PDP issue and not about any governance failure but for continue where you seniors stopped

How well have you governed your own family or immediate community......tinubu has generated far more revenues for the country than any govt in the past........debt servicing from as high as over 100% of revenue to about 66% now and you don't see this as progress,oil out put is about 1.8m bpd from about 1.2 he met it,liquidated all your IMF debt and borrowed nothing from them,cleared forwx backlogs of over $7 bn to airlines and other multinationals,that singular move alone brought down airfares and you don't see all these as progress........bank re capitalisation from 25b to 500b and all successfully done,if the economy wasn't doing well or full of prospects, investors wouldn't stake that much,your foreign reserves is at 50b usd from slightly over 30b usd he met it,all these isn't meaningful progress to you.

States are getting improved allocations from faac and no state under tinubu is owing salaries as was the norm in the past,indigent students can now go to tertiary institutions without worrying about money due to NELFUND......all these isnt progress to you just because he contested election and won the presidency.

To fill 50 litres of a Corolla car:

During Obasanjo’s time it cost ₦3,750. During Yar’Adua’s time, it cost ₦3,250. During GEJ’s time, it cost ₦4,350.
During Buhari’s time, it cost ₦11,900.

Now under Tinubu’s regime, to fill the same 50 litres of a Corolla car cost ₦61,350

How much was lost to subsidies, forex arbitrage.....rufai oseni should be honourable enough to let us know this too.

Murketeer:
Lol ...why didn't you compare it to its equivalent ...1000 dollars...una go dey suffer..but Una go dey defend rubbish

How many americans have $1k to spare for anyone.....you make ilogical arguments just to further buttress your ineptitude.

rejoice4eva:
You are among the people that said tinubu doesn't need Nigeria money, that he is even coming to spend his ill gotten wealth for the country. Can you tell us , how much of his personal money he has used for the country up till date?
You were shouting to heavens, when he lied that Nigeria is now swimming in trillions and that even before July, the revenue target for the year has been met, because of ill-timed and crudely removed subsidy. What are they now borrowing recklessly for?
It is no longer news that many ministries and parastatals have received zero allocation or payment, why the borrowing?
And the list go on,...
As at last check, every Nigerian is owing almost 1millon naira, if our loan is to be shared. Yet, no functional power, railway, education, health, and almost 90% of Nigerian are multi dimensionally poor and wallowing in poverty, including you, while those in authority are wasting our resources.
I plead with you, stop all these ass licking and wicked defence
Nigerians deserve accountability, transparency and stewardship

You keep regurgitating this tasteless anti tinubu analogy no matter how ridiculous......you and your immediate circle can be as ilogical as you want but the whole of Nigeria isn't like u and things work in absolute abstraction from your jaundiced assertions.

How can you say someone should spend his personal money to run a country of 220m citizens,how more unintelligent can you be.

Isn't Nigeria swimming in trillions now,your 26 budget is 68 trillion naira while your 25 was 58 trillion.......because you have so much doesbthat mean you should spend all your money,even dangote with all his billions runs his business on loans against his credit worth and value same applies to running a countries economy.....no country in the world that doesn't borrow one way or the other.

Your budget deficit alone is 13 trillion naira,how do you finance that,is it your money they will use,even almighty america runs a budget deficit and they have to borrow to cover that.

All of you have this erroneous believe that Nigeria is so rich that our streets should be paved with gold not realising givt isn't even making enough money to run the country,tax revenue to gdp is about the lowest in the world because you have refused to pay taxes.....where will the money to run the country come from.

66% of every dollar your country earns as revenue is used to service debts incurred by all govts combined,the remaining 34% cant be enough to pay civil servants, build roads,hospitals and other insfrastructure,buy arms to fight insurgents,develop our ports,fund education etc.

The subsidy savings you keep shouting about is just about 5 trillion less than 10% of the budget.

thesicilian:
Most people who say "leave Lagos and go back to your state" are not even from Lagos. But that aside, you mean you don't see anything wrong with the state government charging you for a solar panel you bought with your own money and placed in your own house to tap energy from the sun because this same government failed to provide you with electricity that you're already paying for?

Most of those asking you to leave lagos aren't from lagos,not a problem but they arent complaining or overtly critical of the govts policies.......if you feel lagos govt is getting too oppressive for your liking, why not explore somewhere else you feel cheaper......people are emigrating out of London just because the living expense is higher compared to other places in the UK.

There are somethings just not worth getting pained ir fighting over.

Naijahero1:
So subsidy removal and multiple taxation can't run a government? How many countries have borrowed from Nigeria? Which grows its economy through reckless borrowing?

How much taxes are you paying to govt,how much is the value of the subsidy removal,just N5tr,if you divide that by 220million nigerians and share equally,20k noh go reach ur hand......nah that money you wan take run a whole country.

ayoolataiwo:
The nation economy has been mismanaged since the present and past administration.Purchasing power hasn't been this worse.May Nigeria rise again

A thousand naira is equivalent to 74 cents,she should show us how many things that can get her in America.....that 1k will get you a derica of rice or beans or garri enough to feed a family of 5 with some change......4 packs of noodles that can feed 2 people,can get you a plate of lunch,2.5 gb of data to you for 2 days with some change

Half a kilo of cooking gas is less than 1k and can keep a family of 5 for 2 days or more,if not for trump 1k would have gotten you a loter of petrol with some change......she should come tell us how much 74cents can get you in her country.

MrSly:
Tinubu never founded any of those parties. He was only a co- founder in APC.

1. Social Democratic Party (SDP) was created by the Nigerian military government under Ibrahim Babangida
Tinubu was just a member and later was elected senator in 1992.

2. Alliance for Democracy (AD) was formed by pro-democracy leaders, especially from NADECO, including figures like Abraham Adesanya and Bola Ige. Tinubu was just a member and later became Governor of Lagos State

3. Action Congress (AC)
was formed from a split/restructuring of AD led by several politicians, including Atiku Abubakar and other opposition figures
Tinubu’s role is that of a leader and influencer in its formation

4. Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)
was found through evolution/rebranding of AC driven by party leadership, including Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other senior figures
Tinubu’s role here is mainly major architect and a kind of a dominant leader

5. All Progressives Congress (APC)
was formed in 2013 through a merger of ACN, CPC, ANPP, and factions of APGA
Key figures include:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Muhammadu Buhari
Atiku Abubakar (early merger talks)
Ogbonnaya Onu

Tinubu’s role is co-founder.

Always know whatever you want to speak about.

Foundational member,founding member,founder whats the difference, ok let me agree without conceding that he didn't found the parties but he was a foundational member of each and every on of them and was influential in their ideological development and successes,would you rather that........which of the parties obi has been gallivanting to was he in anyway a founding member including the last one he tried to hijack.

Bros, the 7 days you told us something tragic will happen to terrorist and their sponsors done elapse oh......we never hear anything ,we still dey wait that one abeg!!

He founded all those political parties mentioned,he never jumped ship into someone else's party and never hijacked or went ahead to cause confusion in any party......he built parties from the ground and was committed to ensuring their ideological rigidity and success u like the likes of atiku, obi e tal!!

So you rather the entire country runs aground and givt stops functioning because of lack of funds to run the country......just because you don't like tinubu.

Can you pls tell us how much Nigeria makes annually and tell us what are projected expenditure is in 2026......govt has introduced tax reforms so as to shore up revenues, you all shouted no tinubu wants to kill you,now they are resorting to borrowing, you are still crying that why is he borrowing too much........is it your own money he wants to be using to run the country.......be honest enough to provide ur fellow gullible ones with the facts of the countries earnings
