Meanwhile over here in Africa, the "giant" of Africa was thumping its hollow chest and belowing with glee after their World Bank stooge of a president ended a fuel subsidy of just $4.5 billion a year in a country with some of the poorest people on earth. Read to understand and don't just run off with sensational headlines like a headless chicken......everyone knows the US govt has been subsidizing production cost for oil prospecting as many explorations aren't as profitable as it is in some other countries or regions......nigerian bonny light is still way cheaper to explore and ship to the US than doing it over there themselves......the subsidy is to the benefit of the oil executives and shareholders.....it's totally different from what we have here where we were subsidizing retail pump prices of petrol......diesel has long been removed from subsidy but we didn't have any rancour as we have been having over petrol . |

Politics › Re: Nigerians Poorer Now Than 1960 – El-Rufai Tells FG How To End Poverty by Lithiumite: 11:05am On Sep 10, 2025 |
JimRohn: Your desperate attempt to downplay Nigerians’ suffering only shows how detached from reality you are. To claim people are not “worse off” under Tinubu is not just blindness — it is wickedness. Nigerians don’t need you to lecture them; they feel the pain every single day at the market, at the fuel station, on the road, and in the hospital. That is not “sentimentalism” — it is lived reality.
Stop insulting people’s intelligence with this fake optimism. Before Tinubu, Nigerians could still afford rice at ₦30k, fuel at ₦200, and transport that didn’t swallow half their income. Today, under his reckless watch, rice is ₦70k, petrol is ₦860, the naira collapsed to ₦1,500/$, and transport has tripled. That is not exaggeration — that is measurable fact.
And your hypocrisy about El-Rufai is laughable. You admit he demanded reforms in education and then expose Tinubu by your own logic: where were Tinubu’s policies to cushion his so-called reforms? None. He removed subsidy overnight with no safety nets, floated the naira without control, and left millions to suffer. That is not reform, it is economic terrorism.
Nigerians don’t care about your excuses, your comparisons, or your name-dropping. They care about food, fuel, jobs, and security. On all these, Tinubu has failed catastrophically. The man begged for power for decades, claimed he was prepared, and in less than two years destroyed the economy more brutally than any president before him.
So don’t gaslight Nigerians by telling them things are not as bad as they know they are. They don’t need your denial — they need relief. And if Tinubu cannot provide it, then history will judge him, and the people will remove him the same way they rejected Jonathan and Buhari.
The truth is simple: Tinubu is not a reformer, he is a calamity. And no amount of propaganda will erase the hunger, poverty, and hopelessness he has unleashed on Nigerians. Go on The streets and let's see those who are hungry a d dieing from lack of food.... Fuel: no fuel scarcity in the last 2 years and we are already refining our own petrol and now a next exporter no longer at the mercy of subsidy fraudsters and marketers.....if you can't see an improvement,that's your problem.....if you need it buy it at the price it's sold govt isn't paying zilch for you to be gallivanting all over the place.....if you can't afford it,it means u aren't productive enough so u better go make something of value. Jobs- there are more jobless people on record in the US or SA than we have in Nigeria......if you choose not to work it's your choice, no govt doesn't provide jobs for everybody. Insecurity: we have seen and heard testimonies about improved security in hitherto unsecured spaces around the country,I earlier gave you a factual instance of KD south and birnin gwari in the same el rufai's state were in held sway as disruptor in chief. Pls bring out direct facts on how tinubu policies has worsened the lives of Nigerians.... |
Politics › Re: Nigerians Poorer Now Than 1960 – El-Rufai Tells FG How To End Poverty by Lithiumite: 9:39am On Sep 10, 2025 |
JimRohn: Your entire response is the height of intellectual laziness — hiding behind abuse and cheap distractions because you cannot defend Tinubu’s monumental failure. Nigerians are not asking Tinubu to wipe anyone’s backside; they are asking him to govern responsibly. He begged for power, swore he was ready, and in less than two years turned Nigeria into a graveyard of hunger, joblessness, and despair. That is not leadership — it is political vandalism.
Stop this nonsense of blaming governors for Tinubu’s chaos. Who removed subsidy overnight without planning? Who floated the naira like a casino gamble that destroyed savings and wages? Who pushed petrol to ₦860/litre, rice to ₦70k, and the naira to ₦1,500/$? It was Tinubu — not El-Rufai, not Obi, not governors. Leadership starts at the top, and the rot in Nigeria today flows from Aso Rock.
You point to student loans as if it is a gift — a loan is not reform, it is debt. And how many poor children can even qualify when their parents can’t afford food, transport, or electricity? You brag about “initiatives” on paper while Nigerians die in hospitals without drugs and trek because transport is unaffordable. Empty announcements don’t feed people — real governance does, and Tinubu has failed woefully.
Dragging El-Rufai into this is laughable. Whether he failed or not, it does not erase Tinubu’s disaster. Nigerians are not comparing failure with failure — they are measuring Tinubu by his promises. He promised Renewed Hope but delivered renewed hunger, renewed insecurity, and renewed hopelessness.
So let’s be clear: Tinubu is not a reformer, he is a reckless opportunist who begged for power for decades, only to collapse the economy in record time. No insult, no distraction, no propaganda will erase the truth. Nigerians are poorer, hungrier, and angrier under Tinubu — and in 2027, they will send him packing the same way they threw out Jonathan and rejected Buhari.
Keep insulting El-Rufai, Obi, or anyone else. The real clown sits in Aso Rock, hiding behind empty reforms while his supporters run around spewing abuse because they cannot defend failure with facts. Tinubu has failed, he is failing, and history will record him as one of Nigeria’s worst disasters. You choose to be blind and deaf as a choice,you have a right to,no one will deny you if that......you paint Nigeria like it were Afghanistan or south Sudan or worst still congo.....move around a lot and relate with the very common people you claim to be fighting for and I haven't seen Nigerians worse off than they ever were. You only blow things out of proportion to suit your compulsive sentimentalism.....el rufai has nothing new to offer,he called for teachers re certification when he saw a lacuna in the education sector in his state,that's reform and much needed in addressing the parlous situation in that sector.....what policies did he put in place to cushion the effect on those that would have been thrown under the bus....what? |

JimRohn: Your entire rant is nothing but gymnastics to excuse failure. Nigerians are not fooled. You twist debt, allocations, and responsibilities as if people can eat theories. The truth is simple: Tinubu asked for power, promised Renewed Hope, and in one year delivered nothing but renewed suffering. That is not Buhari’s ghost, not Jonathan’s shadow — it is Tinubu’s reckless handiwork.
Stop shifting goalposts. Before May 2023, Nigerians could still buy rice at ₦30k, fuel at ₦200, and transport at a rate that didn’t swallow salaries. Today, under Tinubu, rice is ₦70k, petrol is ₦860, transport has tripled, and the naira collapsed to over ₦1,500/$ before fake “stabilization.” That is not inheritance — that is direct consequence of a man who removed subsidy overnight without planning, floated the naira like a casino gambler, and left millions to drown.
And spare us the childish excuse that “governors should spend allocations.” Who increased the hardship in the first place? Who pushed the poor into deeper poverty with careless policies? Leadership is not about throwing citizens into fire and then saying “LG should quench it.” A real leader plans, cushions, and protects his people. Tinubu did none of that. He imposed pain, bragged about it, and now sends his supporters to defend failure with insults.
Comparing Nigeria’s hunger to South Africa’s poverty is laughable. South Africans still enjoy stable power, working hospitals, functioning schools, and social welfare — Nigerians under Tinubu enjoy none. Here, people trek because transport is unaffordable, beg because food is unreachable, and die because hospitals are inaccessible. That is Tinubu’s legacy.
So let’s call it what it is: Tinubu is not a reformer, he is an economic arsonist. He didn’t inherit paradise, but he turned a crisis into catastrophe. Nigerians don’t eat your IMF repayments, your debt ratios, or your propaganda. They eat food, pay rent, and survive daily — and Tinubu has made even survival a luxury.
Mock El-Rufai or Obi all you like; the real clown sits in Aso Rock, a man who begged for power for decades and, when finally given the chance, collapsed the economy in record time. Tinubu has failed, is failing, and come 2027, Nigerians will remind him that power belongs to the people — not to arrogant failures and their blind defenders. Your stoic irredentism augurs no good for you and your ilk......tinubu in 2 years should flood the whole place with rice so you can buy at 20k,tell me what is stopping your state govt from offering free education from at least basic to junior sec,tinubu has already initiated nelfund to ameliorate the burden on parents who want to send kids to tertiary institutions which is a very ingenious and much needed initiative.....what has your gov done specifically to ease the burden on your states citizens? Tinubu should come wipe ur bum after relieving yourself!! What effort did el rufai in 8 years put in to make Kaduna a top contributor to Nigeria's GDP? other than banditry and marginalisation of KD south......birnin gwari was a no go area when he held away but today I go to clients lithium sites with ease and less fear of danger......el rufai the obidients always refered to as bigot and chief sponsor of banditry,go wash all that off him first and let's see how clean he can get. |

JimRohn: Your attempt at sounding intelligent collapses under its own hypocrisy. You hide behind “tough reforms” to justify Tinubu’s recklessness, but real reforms are planned, phased, and cushioned to protect citizens — not rushed overnight like a gambler on cheap steroids. Singapore and Saudi Arabia did not butcher their people with hunger first; they invested in education, industrialization, and infrastructure before subsidy removals. That’s why their citizens prospered. Tinubu only knows how to inflict pain without solutions.
You say subsidy was fraudulent — fine. But where are the savings? Where are the safety nets? Where is the affordable transport, stable power, and food security to justify ₦860/litre fuel? Instead, Tinubu hands the so-called savings to governors who squander them, while ordinary Nigerians trek, starve, and beg. That is not reform, that is organized robbery.
And stop insulting Nigerians with this childish “every country has hungry people.” Hunger in Nigeria is not some random global problem — it is a direct consequence of Tinubu’s ill-prepared policies. Before May 2023, people could afford fuel at ₦200, rice at ₦30k, and transport fares that didn’t swallow half their salaries. Under Tinubu, all that collapsed in one year. That is not inherited — that is created.
Your “facts” about GDP, borrowing, and deficits only prove Buhari’s failures, not Tinubu’s brilliance. Tinubu did not inherit paradise, but he has turned a bad situation into hellfire. Leadership is about solutions, not excuses. Nigerians don’t eat GDP ratios or foreign reserves; they eat food, they pay rent, they send children to school. And in all these, Tinubu has failed woefully.
So call El-Rufai and others “clowns” if it makes you feel better. The real clown is a president who begged for power for decades, claimed he was ready, and then collapsed the economy within months. Tinubu is not a reformer — he is a reckless opportunist. Nigerians see it, they feel it, and in 2027 they will remind you and your ilk that power belongs to the people, not to arrogant propagandists. There you go again with outlandish populism just to hoodwink the gullible......whay savings from subsidy are you talking about when you have humongous debt servicing obligations,you had crude already sold in advance and the accruals already spent,your state gov is collecting far more in allocations than they were collecting even that of Enugu and ANAMBRA both in opposition attested that much and you are here blaming tinubu how they spend their allocations.....tinubu should e the one to buy cng buses or come subsidise transportation all over upper iweka or sabongari because he is president......tinubu should be the one to come build primary and secondary Schools all over the lgs so you can be happy or build hospitals in every ward when we clearly have roles spelt out for every level of govt...what manner of warped thinking is this? That's why the logical nigerians with a brain in their heads disregard the infantile attempts of el rufai and co in trying to desperately corner power for themselves,they can keep clowning and we will keep relieving ourselves. Tinubu brought hunger,tinubu made the naira real value to be at its present rate,tinubu has made rice unaffordable because he was met to go farm all the rice we are met to eat in the country despite billions spent by buhari to boost rice production and even locking borders putting Nigerians through pain......gej anchor borrowers also readily comes to mind,tinubu is also to blame for the failure of that policy that we should have been able to attain food security by now. Your rhetorics of hunger poverty caused by tinubu are stale and we ain't buying.....south Africa is a go to economy for many nigerians despite the high poverty rates and insecurity in the midst of plenty,I guess tinubu is responsible for that too. |

JimRohn: Your response only exposes the emptiness of Tinubu’s defenders — loud on insults, empty on logic. Dragging Singapore and Saudi Arabia into Nigeria’s mess is laughable. Those countries built strong institutions, invested in real infrastructure, created jobs, and empowered their citizens long before tightening subsidies. Tinubu, on the other hand, removed subsidies overnight with zero planning, no cushioning, and no regard for the poor. That is not reform — that is reckless economic butchery.
You keep screaming “subsidy benefits the rich,” but today it is the poor man trekking miles, unable to afford ₦860/litre petrol. It is the poor mother crying at the market because rice is ₦60k. It is the poor child starving because transport fares swallowed school fees. What exactly has Tinubu given the poor in return? Nothing but hunger and excuses.
And stop pretending subsidy removal and dollar floatation were “bold reforms.” They were blind gambles that collapsed the naira, wiped out savings, and plunged millions below the poverty line. Leadership is not about throwing your people into fire and then clapping because you reduced the flames a little — it is about preventing the fire in the first place.
You call people “Dundee heads,” but the real Dundee is a government that promised Renewed Hope and delivered renewed suffering. Nigerians are not fooled — we see through the propaganda. Tinubu has failed. He is failing. And no amount of shouting “El-Rufai” will wash away that failure. Your lame treatise only serves comic relief to whoever is reading.....Saudi and Singapore didn't take the tough decisions but just got to where they are overnight with no hard reforms and sweat? Hope you see how laughable your logic is and the sad part is there are so many illogical ones who would lap on that and pin such superfluous narrative to their heads and run with it.....there is no easy way out for Nigeria considering how far down the abyss we were economically.......a country that had a bigger recurrent expenditure as against capital side,a country borrowing to pay salaries,a country with a debt to GDP of almost 100%.....a country that was printing money running into trillions to run govt via ways and means from cbn......what easy way? A country that was hemorrhaging billions on fraudulent subsidy regime and you would be happy with that and not care in so far you were able to buy fuel at 200 and dollar at 700 to import all manner of irrelevant things just to give you a false sense of prosperity. I expected you to juxtapose the points raised earlier fact for fact to show us how in your opinion the economy is tanking but you rather throw empty pedestrian rhetorics about hunger and poverty like it's only in Nigeria we have hungry people......that's all your el rufai and your ilk are banking on to away the gullible to buy their jaundiced narrative on why they should be chosen ahead of tinubu.....bloody jokers they are, pathetic clowns....we know better!!! |

Let’s be clear: no amount of cooked statistics will change the reality Nigerians face daily — hunger, joblessness, insecurity, and despair.
You boast about the naira “stabilizing” after crashing beyond 2,000/$ under Tinubu’s reckless watch. Who caused that chaos in the first place? You hail petrol “down” to ₦860 — is that supposed to be an achievement when it was barely ₦200 before Tinubu’s ill-prepared subsidy removal? A 50kg bag of rice at ₦60k is still a nightmare for millions who can’t even afford ₦10k. And don’t insult Nigerians with minimum wage talk — how many states are actually paying ₦70k, and does that wage buy half of what ₦30k bought three years ago?
You talk about “trade surplus” and “foreign reserves” as if that feeds the poor or lowers transport fares. Go to the markets, go to the streets, go to the hospitals — Nigerians are suffering more today than ever. Tinubu has delivered nothing but deeper hardship and fake economic jargon meant to distract.
Legacy projects? Nigerians don’t eat bridges. They don’t cook gas pipelines. They need affordable food, stable power, secure lives, and real jobs — all of which Tinubu has failed to provide.
Stop insulting people’s intelligence. Nigerians are not blind. The verdict on Tinubu is clear: he has failed, he is failing, and no propaganda will erase that fact. Singapore,Saudi Arabia etc aren't feeding the poor with the king if parlous foreign reserves we have.....your analogy is nothing but half truths pinned to the heads of Dundee heads who can't think...... we should keep buying fuel at 200 naira so govt can keep borrowing to subsidise the same petrol that's more beneficial to the rich than the poor......we should keep exchanging subsidised dollars for the rich to the tune of 1.5b usd monthly by borrowing as we can't afford it......is that what your el rufai and his Co travellers are coming with .... thanks a lot we did rather pass. |

JimRohn: You are deliberately twisting the argument. Nobody is claiming Tinubu created poverty from 1960; the point is that under his short watch, poverty has deepened, inflation has skyrocketed, the naira has collapsed, and life has become unbearable for millions of Nigerians. That is not a legacy of 1960—it is the direct consequence of his reckless policies since May 2023.
Tinubu campaigned on competence and “Renewed Hope,” not on recycling excuses about past leaders. If he knew subsidy removal and naira floatation would throw Nigerians into untold suffering without proper safeguards, then why rush into them without a safety net? Leadership is about anticipating consequences and cushioning your people, not gambling with their survival.
As for El-Rufai, his record in Kaduna does not erase the fact that Tinubu’s government is failing at the national level. Nigerians did not elect El-Rufai in 2023—they elected Tinubu. And Tinubu must answer for the hunger, unemployment, and despair that are now worse than ever under his administration.
Excuses won’t feed Nigerians. Tinubu has run out of rhetoric—the suffering is real. Naira peaked at almost 2k to the usd,today it's about a 1/4 less Pms went well over a thousand per liter now it's about 860 Inflation as slowed since 2nd quarter this year from its high rate Rice was at about 100k per 50kg bag,now it's about 60k. Minimum wage was about 30k now it's 70k and some states are even beating that. No state is currently owing workers salary as was the norm in the past. State govs are all jubillating that tinubu's policies has given them room to be able to embark on more projects due to increased allocations. We have been having trade surpluses for about 4 quarters consecutively as against deficits in the past. We have improved on our crude oil production from about 1.2mbpd to about 1.8mbpd now. There is renewed and improve investment drive in our oil and gas sector. We are now a net exporter of petrol Our foreign reserves has shot up from what tinubu met it. We no longer resort to borrowing to pay salaries as was the case under gej and buhari. Govt is no longer crowding out real businesses from the domestic debt market as revenue targets have already been met- non oil. We have a lesser debt servicing to revenue ratio of over 90% when he came in to about 60% now. Forex backlogs that was always the problem in the buhari days have been cleared and businesses are happier for that. We no longer strangle the cbn with ways and means requirements to fund govt.. We could go on and on but despite all these,you still say this govt has made nigerians poorer? Fear God. How many schools dis el rufai build how much success dis he make in providing free education and healthcare,what is your state govt doing with it's allocations monthly. Legacy projects are still on going such as the Lagos calabar,badagry sokoto,akk gas pipe line ,bonny bodo bridge,Abuja calabar highway etc,subsidise cancer and kidney treatments, increment in pensions to retirees,continued access to subsidised retroviral drugs for HIV patients despite trumps madness. You still say nigerians are poorer.....you and your el rufai can continue with your propaganda but you and I know it's doa because nigerians are wiser and they know el rufai is no different from the others,we would rather continue with tinubu than any of those charlatans who only want access to power for their self aggrandizement. |

allthingsgood: Because you saw "someone" doesnt make the report false That your "someone" doesnt represent the entire states There was no sign of despite or hunger in that place,you can visit sagbama bayelsa to see for yourself.....I didn't see any hungry person . |
