See how Baba Iyabo dey talk like say the rot and mess we are experiencing today didn't start with him.

He's talking about Nigeria putting all her eggs in one basket. Lol. What did he do to diversify our economy as a military head of state and the first and a two-term president after 1999? The man even pushed a third term agenda.

Didn't everyone of them since 1960 abandon agriculture and chase after oil money?

"I believe we made a very, very deadly mistake" - No sir, I believe YOU made a very, very deadly mistake.

When you invited Shell and they told you about the corruption ruining our refineries, sir, what did you do with the power given to you by the people to crush the cabal and rot in our oil industry? You were president for 8 years, what did you do to put the interest of the people as priority? What efforts did you make to change the trajectory of the NNPC for the benefit of the common Nigerians?

What was OBJ's stride in our gas sector? What policies and reforms did he introduce to the gas industry? What were his implementations? Didn't he flare our gas too?

OBJ is saying shit, with all due respect. This is the person some idiots are rallying around because the man they hate so much became president.

Tinubu's bad policies implementions aside, at least for the first time since 1960, we have a brave president who has the political will, muscle, and clout to repurpose our economy. And if he and the APC had allowed GEJ the weakling remove the subsidy in 2011, we would have moved past this pain - Tinubu has a share of this blame too.

There's no going back from here, inshallah. The economy must be rejigged, no matter how pain and strenuous the process may be. History will remember Tinubu for not taking the easy route of padding our economy.

Edit: Some idiots are quoting me to say trash. The truth is bitter, so deal with it. Some were saying shit about good economy under OBJ. Lol, even a retard could run our economy like he did because of the oil boom. Go and check how much Nigeria earned with crude oil sales between 1999 and 2006. Then compare with next successive governments.

The crazy oil money during that time was one of the reason they all abandoned other critical areas of the economy for oil. They took the easy way and we are suffering it today. They didn't foresee that the oil mania will end, or perhaps, they saw but didn't care because they knew they won't be the ones to deal with the problem. Nigerians just don't think, that's the issue. So far any 10 IQ president can subsidize their PMS and dollars, they think all is well and won't give a f*uck about their own future or that of the next generation.

All you want is government handouts in the form subsidies then you later cry that the country is retrogressing in economic and infrastructural development. One idiot even asked me to mention one third world country that isn't subsidizing their citizens. Oponu, must Nigeria remain a third world country for life, even after 60 years since independence? This is the kind of imbeciles that sell all they have and secure loans to japa to sane countries where nothing is free. Ode!

The country using 96% of our revenue to service loan; shouldn't that be a concern for any right thinking citizen? Instead of asking past governments how and why we got to this point, the average Nigeria won't so far you give them subsidies as if they are orphans. And before you say dogshit, OBJ didn't have to borrow because of massive oil revenue. We started borrowing after the oil boom was over. And mind you, we shouldn't have borrowed to the extent where almost all our revenue is used to service loans if OBJ diversified our economy from the start with the massive influx of income Nigeria earned during his time. He should have been the person to lay our economic blueprint and like I've said, he took the easy route and avoided the hard work.

What happens to your business when 100% of the money you make per month is used to repay loans and the situation is even worse that you are still sourcing for more loans to make your business stay afloat? If you can't answer that, keep shut whenever the Nigeria economy is being discussed.

We are a nation with a f*cking 200M population that can't feed herself, zero agriculture, terrible gas economy, no other viable economy sector, zero manufacturing or production; just subsidies, vibes and inshallah plus crazy level of importation, and you, OBJ, is now complaining that our youths are redundant. Thunder fire you, sir.

Kukutente23:
I thought as much too. Though Farooq is wrong because the C-in-C Armed forces flag which he is referring to has a green stripe making it four colors not three. The Armed forces flag on the other hand is blue, red and green not white.

But even that narrative will be more treasonous than calling on Russia

Besides, it makes the North more Obidient. This time last year, Obidients were calling for military to take over govt after the presidential results were announced. Today it is the north.

This is a result of the lack of popularity of the Tinubu presidency 36% of votes is a minority victory. In most countries of the world, the election will go to a run off or at worst a forming of coalition govt. What we have presently is a minority rule. Our politicians need to consider correcting this anomaly in our laws.

princepeter566:
Why that God forsaken APC man was saying "the same Russia that removed Jonathan is trying to remove tinubu".
It was tinubu and buhari that removed Jonathan.
I prefer a military rule with good economy that a democratic administration with tinubu as d president.

GanagiBitrus:
Makes sense.
Was wondering what Russia had to do with the protests. But the Govt should have known better, rather than fall for the Russia narrative.

burp18:
A lot is going to unfold in the coming days. This explains why the soldiers were not used to police this protest. Northerners are chanting "Ku mukeso" which translates to "It's you we want". It's a very dicey situation because the soldiers can't harm or touch the protesters. A case of someone coming to cry to you for help. They just can't help it and who knows,,, eventually they just might listen to them. Tinubu has lost control of this government as it stands. If something is not done avert this and activities returned to the way the used to be, I see an interim government taking over

agulion:
Tinubu is wickedly killing northerners and have killed more than 100 people so far

STEWpid:

The organizers are in the background,,

They gave those dejected beings something to hold and pushed them out into the streets to cause chaos.


May we not be unfortunate to be used as a senseless creature!

They have to use those dejected things to set a serious example. Hunger protest and you are flying Russian Flags…smh









C h a i..

Lionessza6:
Nigerians should also stop going around making a nuisance of themselves,why can't they stay in their own hardworking and morally upright country?

chiiraq802:
The one way pain me pass, na that stabbing of that teenager for France. I don't think she's up to 17.
That bloodsucking terrorist stab that innocent girl to death because she wore crop top.

Just imagine, you ran away from ur extremist country, went to another mans country that accepted you. instead of being thankful, you start killing them and trying to impose those religious extremism that made you bastards to run away from your country.

But I was happy that said terrorist did not escape or was arrested.... He was shot multiple times to go and meet his 72 virgins.

Fibonacci88:
This nonsense speech will just spark more protests.

franchasng:
In essence, Tinubu is saying that the protester's demands are baseless that he has nothing to say or do about their baseless demands.


It will take an extraordinary INEC magic rigging for Bola Tinubu to win a reelection in 2027.


He already knows that its game over for him, so he doesn't care about the future consequences, by the way he will be nearing his grave after his 4 years maladministration. Yorubas will suffer the consequences of foolishly supporting this evil failure without remorse in the name of tribe.



I wonder who told this conman that a new Coastal Highway from Lagos to Calabar and Badagry to Sokoto are Nigerian people's priority now as they battle with hunger, worst ever inflation and widespread unemployment.


It is well.

Ttalk:
The issue of sulfur content has never been issue in all refined products that are imported, why is it now a major issue between a government agency and the Dangote refinery?

Why run the Dangotes business down in the public space.

Whatever energy you have to pokenose into Dangotes refinery is enough to sniff out the impediment that has caused our refinery not to work despite billions in turnaround maintenance

asala1:
A rogue business man who built $20 billion manufacturing facility in Nigeria? If we have 10 of such rogue people, many Nigerians will have good paying jobs and Nigerian manufacturing ecosystem will be a lot better.

richiemcgold:
Right from Day One of this fracas, I was very sure that Alhaji Dangote was not fully sincere.

sleek214:
I know Dangote is a thief... Nothing good can come out of him. Dangote knows his criminal friends in NNPC are importing substandard fuel into the country so he decided to produce bad fuel too..... Unfortunately ignorant people are here supporting him when he had issues with FG/NNPC......

tunjijones:
I knew Dangote is not trustworthy. All he is after is draining the people through the government.

SimpForLadies:
That's the reason he doesn't want to invest abroad! The fuel he export to Europe and the one he wants to sell in Nigeria would be different! There are so many of them here, the service they give abroad and to us here are different in quality!

vanbonattel:
Just like the corruption in Nigeria, Dangote will sell bad fuel to Nigerians and get away with it because of his identity.

When the head is corrupt, the whole body will be decaying.

But this might be a fight and smear campaign by NNPC guys desperate to keep their feeding bottles glued to their mouths.

Remman:
It was illiterates that lifted Russian flags in a national hunger protest that has nothing to do with their predicament.

trutharena:
This is a clear testament to Dangote's vision and hard work. Nigeria is finally getting the recognition it deserves on the global stage. Let them keep hating; the refinery will continue to thrive regardless!

RoyalBlu:
No correlation with the task at hand abeg.

Na government dey give people husband now Shuo.

Objectivity is key!

Bankowner:
Now, here's the problem with some people in Nigeria.
You settle for a meagre 2k that won't even solve your hunger problem to stop a protest against the same hunger. Real madness!

Quelme:
They must pay the fine. No escape...

They can't try this in Europe or North America... We must maintain our privacy.

BigManny:
We'll use Telegram. E better pass WhatsApp sef but people no know

skywalker240:
Truth is,

They could be right in many ways


Dangote is very notorious for that, we saw it with cement and sugar

trutharena:
Tinubu should take a closer look at this petition; Dangote's success can be a model for others if managed well. We need to ensure a level playing field in the industry for the growth of our economy.

Salewa97:
Finally, some good news for our people! With the rising cost of living, this initiative by the FG to provide rice at a subsidized rate is a step in the right direction.

It's about time we prioritize food security and make essentials accessible to all. This will not only ease the burden on families but also promote local farmers.

I hope the distribution is transparent and reaches the intended beneficiaries without any hitches. Let's support our government in this effort!

mytime24:
After walkout
What next🫤
U go still walkin 😄

Why not resign 😔

finallybusy:
Didn’t I read that she died in her sleep somewhere? How did Obi know the circumstances regarding her death? The man na witch? He’s the new Atiku; releasing epistles for any bad situation.

All these born in 1882 Nairalanders with their reports on days long gone.

helinues:
See, If Falana is not careful, he would be dragged in a way he won't like.

I don't know why that man just like anything confusion and chaos

richkal:
Now I know you don't know anything.

Things I said are beyond your reasoning.

You think only people with the voters cards are the ones determine election winners in your country?

FYI, voters and people like you are just pawns in the grand scheme of things.

Seek more knowledge and liberate yourself

You either learn or perish.

richkal:
Obama and Cameron were instrumental to the winning of Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 election. I hope you are going to shame them as well.
