Any man whose business interest is torched as his will cry out.
He didn't play his politics well in 2023 elections that brought about Tinubu.

pls tell us what we don't know. Who did he support?

strangest:
But Reno O'Mockery said that Nigeria has sold all the crude oil till infinity and that it was Buhari that signed it. Where did this crude for Dangote came from? Or is it because he whine dem about MALTA HEIST DEAL

is Reno Omokri privy to any deal? He's just whr he's dancing to the gallery.

trutharena:
Bode George should focus on his own failures instead of criticizing the FG. The government knows what it's doing; palliatives are necessary for the people.

any govt that shares palliative to its citizens as a solution to economic problems is a failed govt. This is just plain fact. Food, shelter and clothing are just basics anyone should be able to afford. It's unfortunate you're blinded by whatever suits your fancy.

OAFMods:
If he is Igbo then I can understand why he reason so foolishly.

Judiciary did not destroy Buhari Yardua election even when Yardua declared as winner confirmed n attest to the fact that the election that brought him in was massively n mercilessly rigged.

Judiciary also did destroy Obasanjo 2nd term election which any living soul on the face of the Earth can't come out n defend that it was not just rigged but massively fraudulently n outrageously rigged compare to the 2024 presidential election.

Those 2 elections I stated any lunatic in the PDP write number n declared themselves winner. No foolish Amadi or Amaka came out to wail because it suited their delsuion n foolishness but alas when others win not aligning with their dillussion wailing of lunatic proportion rent the air with all sort of lunatic now exhibiting freedom to express all sort of madness.

Where did Obasanjo and Yardua got 24 Million vote from ? Did they import voters from hell or what suddenly happen to reduce the voting population of Nigeria ?!

you only read to attack and not to learn. Always be open minded. Life does not start and end with tribe, religion and whatnot. Tinibu will one day day leave office, he's currently the president, but does that make the system that brought him to power okay?

Lucky Dube in his song said "we see people die like flies on the TV but never feel anything, until the day someone close to us is killed by the same things we failed to speak against". Wen something is wrong say it.

The writer posited that INEC erred by not following their policy to the letter. You can't set a rule before a race, and change it while about to announce a winner. That's wrong on its own.

MaziObinnaokija:
this one is still CRYING 😢 😭 😪 MISERABLE
Focus on 2027 biko

one day, what you keep supporting will happen to you, I hope you'll be man enough to bear it.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Inec and Judiciary are the problems of Nigeria today

for me it's not INEC but the judiciary. Anyone can manipulate what they like, do all they like, but the onus lies with the judiciary to correct the anomalies.

Not even the politicians are to blame. For me, aside tribalism, the second major problem bedeviling this country is the partial and failed judiciary. Every other arm of govt can fail, but once the judiciary is compromised and failed too, then it's over.

OriOko88:
Ehnn..and we Wil keep rubbing into ur face that Lagos is Yoruba land, No matter how u try to change the narrative

tell that to the beggars on the street of LAGOS. Go to Makoko and tell them this.

LegendHero:
Cool. I laugh when people mention the small increase in electricity supply is due to rainy season. Thats a lie coz most of Nigeria plant is thermal.

So how does thermal and rain relate?

Oga, Kanji Dam is full, wait for the dry season to come fully

DevilsEqual:


I talk am say the way we dey get light for Anambra here( like 16hours daily) E be like say something dey sup

Its even funny cause it hasnt really rained in Ukpo here since 7weeks sef

If its this good in Anambra, then Lagos people would prolly enjoy too much power supply like say na Standy-by Gen dey on ground

For remote workers ehn, this is one of the best things one can enjoy from the Govt

the high of the past 2months is the cause na. Kanji Dam is full. By October we will go back to normal

OriOko88:

Commendable!!
Lagos state government keeps making statements of facts that Lagos is not a no man's land. It belongs to the Yorubas.

Eko nan pebi

and who cares? So far one Nigeria remains, you're wasting your time.

Salewa97:
This is a commendable move by the Federal Government! It shows they are genuinely concerned about the food crisis affecting Nigerians. The subsidized rice initiative is a great way to support public servants and ensure transparency in the process. Kudos to President Tinubu for taking steps to alleviate the hardships faced by citizens. Let's hope more such initiatives follow!

B OT, did u read the post at all?

BALLOSKI:
@Favor914, this educative and illustrative.

It makes no sense to take it from subsidy and give it to the states. You know it won't cascade down. He doesn't have to devalue our currency.

the guy said I should buzz off. Lol

favor914:
Please buzz off incoherent lazy minded Thing, you all will suffer continuously in that open Zoo because of your ignorance.

hahahaha

favor914:
Economic & social Illiterates please be silent, states that were collecting 2 billion Naira 2 years ago, are collecting 6 billion Naira today, yet these incoherent clowns say money no reach, and their confused damned citizens say na President fault.

How much money were you & your state government able to raise on your own, to complement the free money from Abuja?

if anyone is the clown, it's you. Before you criticise the gov, take a deep breathe and assimilate what he said. If For example Benue state gets FAAC allocation of #2bn last Yr and the exchange rate is #400-$1 2bn/400=5m dollars. Today the same Benue receives #6bn, and the exchange rate is #1500-$1. If we go by the same arithmetic, #6bn/1500=4m dollars.

Benue state got more revenue in naira form under Buhari, but the real value has decreased. This is why someone who earns 50,000 under Buhari is way better than someone who earns 100,000 under Tinubu. A bag of rice under Buhari is 30,000, same bag of rice under Tinubu is 80,000.

nomadreporter:
It's a lie. I can say that with confidence because I worked in the agency for Non-Formal Education which gathered such statistics in my state. SW. We normally cook statistics in order to get grants from international donors. I can bet it, the total number of out of school children in SW can not reach 1%. What are they doing at home, even the poorest of the poor strive to enrol their children in private school.

the statistics is moderately correct. Out of school children in L agos alone is massive

advanceDNA:
The government cannot or even have the right to control price of manufacturers or wholesalers when the same government did not subsidize any part of their production or supply chain......the market naturally controls itself when cost of production or supply is on the minimum and stable....

There are countries where there is subsidy on flour, cotton, wheat, eggs, milk, ...all these things help government put a leash on manufacturers so that end users won't feel the heat...

But in Nigeria.... we want to eat our cake and still keep it ......we remove all existing subsidies, fuel, currency, electricity, etc.all the things that keep production & supply prices on the low.. yet we want to talk about price control.... It's fvnny

Will u force a manufacturer to sell rice for 30k per bag when production, staff, taxes and transportation cost is already 70k per bag

It's funny

the guy is funny. I thought market forces has always been the norm in price regulation? You can't ask a producer or seller to sell below cost price without making a margin.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Finally, some action from the FG!

It's about time we see a robust plan that prioritizes the well-being of the citizens.

are you a BOT?

Nbote:
See in as much as these handouts are impressive looking, all most entrepreneurs need is a stable and friendly economic environment. Stable market prices, manageable road infrastructure and transportation and logistics costs. That's all. I deal and distribute baking margarine/butter. The last buckets (10kg) I supplied to a bakery went for 26,000. I tried restocking this week and that same bucket goes for 29,500 not including cost of logistics. I tried sourcing from Lagos and was quoted prices ranging from 33,000 to 40,000 for other brands. This same butter as at March went for 16,000. So abeg tell me how exactly does one keep up with these mad price hikes. Customs are busy ripping off importers in the name duties and clearance costs. Businesses are shrinking becos you cannot afford to keep up with the quantity you used to stock up on

you dey mind Nigerian govt. The real issue is the cost of production. This their loan/grant won't move anything cos the production cost will eat them up. Electricity is not stable, most businesses rely on fuel and diesel to power their gen.

Codepain:
Nobody is blackmailing the North.
North is free to protest even the Ndigbo as long as Hausa is protesting in Hausaland Igbo in Igboland and Yoruba in Yoruba land

just imagine what you're posting. Yet we are one Nigeria.

Why is B.Sc Psychology missing?

Difrent:
I'm happy you are revealing your true nature

When we say Nigrians really dodged a bullet by rejecting Ekuke, you have just proved us right

who dey teach una dis bad mouth sef? Na PO ú just call ekuku?

Christistruth02:
Anyone who tries nonsense again in Lagos like during Endsars destruction will see nonsense

Right to protest must not disturb others Rights to safety of lives and property and also Rights to freedom of movement

You are not the only one who has Rights the people of Lagos State have Rights too

And destruction of Lagos is not a Human right!!

too much cho cho cho

Salewa97:
The increase in power subsidy is a clear indication that the federal government is committed to ensuring affordable electricity for Nigerians. Yes, it’s a hefty sum, but the priority should be on stabilizing our power sector for the long-term benefit of all citizens. Let's support the government's efforts to harmonize tariffs and gradually phase out subsidies. It’s all about creating a sustainable energy future for Nigeria!

power subsidy my foot. All these are tales by moonlight to deceive the gullible. Nigerians are in darkness, yet the govt is paying power subsidy. To who exactly?

Salewa97:
Farooq Kperogi's perspective is quite extreme. Tinubu is simply navigating a complex political landscape. Every leader faces criticism, but we must recognize the efforts being made to stabilize Nigeria. Let’s give him a chance to implement his vision for the country.

I'm certain you won't change narrative even in 2026, "let's give him a chance"

Philipponzaghi:
Farooq is just projecting his fears. Tinubu is a leader with a vision, and his tough love approach is necessary for real change. People need to adapt, not whine. Let’s trust the process and support our president in making the hard decisions for a better Nigeria.

what do you do for a living brother?

Kam2021:
From his speech, governors are getting lots of money now from the subsidy removal. FG is improving revenue but WHAT ARE THE GOVERNORS DOING WITH SO MUCH MONEY AVAILABLE NOW?
See Rivers as the are wasting money buying cars for their loyalists instead of using the money to develop the state. Tomorrow the people will shout president did nothing, but the state governors are on jamboree.
We should focus even harder on state governors.

why give so much money to the governors who are not utilising it well? Why not from the national level utilise these funds for us all. What is preventing the president from building rice plantations in each geopolitical zone and further privatizing them? Making the governors have more money for wastage isn't leadership. This has always been baba's style from day one. Get more money and share to allies. How do we explain Nigerians are suffering yet governors are having more money?

Minjim:
The demand of all of Nigeria is not every demand.
You Tinubu E-rats are shameless.

What has proven effective in Lagos?

If you look around in Lagos the infrastructure on the ground is not commensurate to the revenue made monthly. If Lagos were poor like Ekiti and we have this infrastructure, then you can say Tinubu has a track record. But Lagos is already rich and anyone can achieve something with it.

The quality of a good leader is the ability to listen, empathise and make compromises.
After all, the money is not his

you nailed it. I keep telling people, to me he's overrated. LAGOS has always been a first among equals when analysing states in Nigeria. Capital of Nigeria from 1914-1992. How else do you want a place to be less developed? Before 1992 Abuja was just an empty land without worthwhile, today it's competing with LAGOS. That's the power of FCT, which many people just forget so soon. Leadership without empathy is nothing but chasing shadows. Vaịn glory that will take no one anywhr. The commenwealth belongs to us all, and I expected the president to tone down at this difficult time. At his age, I dint expect this from him, afterall, it's often assumed that the older the softer. But baba's own is a departure.

Salewa97:
Dele Momodu needs to chill. Tinubu knows what he’s doing; he’s not a novice in governance. The man has a plan, and sometimes tough love is necessary for real change. Let’s give him time to implement his strategies. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Rome wasn't built in a day, but it wasn't built this way either. Nigeria is in a pitiable state man.

Philipponzaghi:
Dele Momodu should recognize that leadership isn't always about yielding to every demand. Tinubu's track record speaks volumes; he’s always focused on long-term solutions. The strength of his governance approach has proven effective in Lagos, and we can trust he’ll navigate these challenges with the same resolve. Patience is key.

track record? Whr exactly? Seems you guys forgot Lagos State has always been miles ahead of other states in Nigeria even before 1960.

SadiqBabaSani:
The President is not a compassionate leader

empathy is a gift very few have. I don't see this in our president. Not even a single concession in a any area. Buhari was not as tough as this, never.
