Na small pikin dey do you.

You think under military regime you can come online and be abusing the government or the president the way you people do here?

You kids sef...

was there Internet in Nigeria in 1993-1998? How many people military wan arrest nationwide for airing their mind? Pls wake up, this is 2025.

seunmsg:
Tell your Ibo brothers to plan another coup to overthrow the president like they did in 1966 and let’s see if heaven will not fall. We are waiting.

so the Yoruba Names mentioned in the 1966 coup are all Igbos? Kaduna Nzeogu the coup leader from Delta state is now Igbo, but when it's time for election, Delta state is not igbo. Mtvhew

amaridigital:
That was how we complained about Shagari regime and embraced military rule in the 80's not knowing it was from frying pan to fire. Intelligent people won't ask for military rule in 2025 oh. You see the little progress we are making, those little little investment coming in such as the Open Ai partnership with the Unilag, those partnership that brought in Opay, Moniepoint and the local Tech companies, investment from Brazil and other nations will dry up instantly and be replaced with sanctions. For the first time in decades Nigerian youth are competing and better than South Africa in IT but military rule will destroy all that. It is ok if illiterates jubilate military take over like in Niger Republic and Chad but we are bigger than that. Unless we are planning to set Nigeria back several centuries we don't need military rule again. We are much more smarter now. Another risk is that it's almost impossible to have a military rule that won't be dominated by a region. Do you think Southern Nigeria will fold their arms again if the North kick out a southern president and start another decades of military rule like in the 90's? It will break up Nigeria almost immediately.

southern president indeed. Southern president that did it win the South.

We don't military regime, but this politicians are in no way better of. Under the military govt minimum wagers can fend for themselves, today 77k is as useless as the p in psychology. You need a miminum of 2000 to eat breakfast. This isn't so under the military junta.

mastermaestro:
Stop this ascription of overestimated political intelligence. Be thankful that it didn't happen. I am glad it didn't anyway. Military rule is a lawless system where a few individuals become the law and the supposed order.

Only those who probably were unborn or too young to understandably witness military administrations will think the uniform guys are better. If they took power, we won't be on this forum expressing divergent political opinions without fear of disappearing mysteriously.

No matter what, I will always pray against a military rule. Na small children dey think say military dictatorship na fun. Make una ask una papa how far that year. Many didn't know how incapacitated President Buhari felt as a civilian leader. Dude wished it was 1984 when he could act unilaterally, arbitrarily and ruthlessly. That's why he struggled to govern as a civilian leader. He saw being a civilian president as bound in shackles. Thus he grew aloof and let things run anyhow.

Military dictatorship doesn't belong in this age.

is the nightmare we are witnessing today in the name of democracy any better? I'm a true lover of true democracy, not the mediocre we practice here.

muyico:
We no want military coup, I withness IBB and abacha era, they shown Nigeria shege,

are we not seeing worst shege now?

The citizens are groaning while the politicians are living large.

seunmsg:
Any coup at this point will be the end of Nigeria. We either practice democracy or we go our way. The era of illegitimate northern rule through military coup is over.

Again, President Tinubu needs to fast track the reform of the military. The military must be decentralized with military equipment equally shared to the six regions. The era of over concentration of military weapons in the north must come to an end immediately.

ask yourself, are we actually practicing democracy?

Krankhead:
Ignos are fearless but they are behind and crying everywhere for marginalization. Shame no dey catch una. You can't stay and develop your region. Bunch of myopic sound bites

stay and develop your region. I think only illiterates make this statement.

The Nigerian constitution which your govt has sworn to obey upholds the dignity, sanctity of the human person, and has given everyone who is a citizen of Nigeria the right to live and enjoy the privileges of any part thereof called Nigeria.

If you must change this, it's simple. Tell the president to amend the constitution, so that every Nigerian will remain in their place of origin.

WizardOfNG:
Another display explaining why no sensible person can respect Igbos today. Look at what a prominent Igbo is sharing.

I.e ridiculously obvious fake news my well-educated and IT-literate 12 year old child can call out easily in 60 seconds.

Yet an icon of Igbo 'enterprise', who is 75 years of age, lacks the emotional intelligence to understand his thoughtless action only shames Igbos.

now you feel what it's for a person to talk low of a tribe and people right?

Reno Omokri goes about attacking the igbo people and saying all manner of rubbish, you guys applaud him and extol him for hate speech.

I'm never in support of such statements whether truly said or not, as no tribe, culture or race supersedes the other. You guys should stop applauding the shallow-minded person called Omokri.

EvilMerodack:
I used to think all medical doctors are smart, guess I'm wrong

Thank God I've never visited any hospital for medical attention in my entire life, but if I would have to now, I'd need to test the doctor's intelligence first.


This dude is prolly poor at Economics. You don't flatly compare earnings in diff countries with diff currencies, you consider purchasing power, tax and other factors that can influence potential savings at the end of each month/year

sir, you ended up saying nothing. His comparison is very right. What he did was compare the wage of the same profession in different countries. A person who earns a minimum wage in UK can pay bills, live healthy and still access basic necessities of life. What can your minimum wage in Nigeria guarantee an average worker?

A minimum wager in Nigeria can't even afford to feed, let alone pay bills.

motymop:
Always comparing salaries...it is a weird take.

They want to become millionaires because they are doctors without factoring the fact that they come from a poor country.

How do you expect hospitals in Nigeria to pay you uk or us salary rate when they themselves don't make up to 10m naira every month

You want to be paid proper salaries but the company you are working for does not even earn enough to run their facilities

Oga, how much do you pay politicians? How much do you pay ex governors? Nigeria is ready to waste billions on people who contribute little or nothing, but pay peanut to essential workers.

Govt praising itself, while the citizens groan. Anywhere and time you see govt appointees, politicians praising the system as against the people, just know it's all lies.

The real measurement of success or progress in a nation is the welfare and wellbeing of the populace. Nigeria currently is a departure from this.

Why dem they jubilate like say them win Cup?

Pythagoras001:
eritrea withrew it means for each group the point second place team would have with the last place team would be subtracted so nigeria drew with zimbawe home and away so 2 point would be subtracted those teams that won home and away against the least team in their group 6 point would be deducted.

whr una dey see this rule from?

Trump the GOAT. Can be awkward atimes, but decisive when you need action. If not for nuclear Russia, this man would have sent Putin home.

Truly a leader the world needs. Courageous and decisive.

I pray he focuses his search light on African leaders soon. You can't mess up your continent, then have your citizens running everywhere as asylum seekers.

Cunny man die Cunny man bury am.

Please how do I go about in the spinach preparation and adding of lime.
I am still taking omeparazole.

lime wey dey cause ulcer u wan add? Hmmm

stanluiz:
Niger state is also bigger than 6 SW states put together.

u dey mind am. So Niger should be divided into 10 states. Nigerians just reason primitively. Russia should as well be divided into 20 countries since their landmass is bigger than the whole Western Europe

helinues:
Na why I dey sometimes laugh some of them whenever they claimed their region is the most developed in Nigeria, with what land mass? South East is so tiny

isreal is smaller than the southeast, yet more develop. Landmass is not a necessary advantage in 21st century. A smaller country by landmass can be more useful than a country with large landmass.

helinues:
That's a known fact now. The entire south east region is just slightly bigger than Oyo state

then if we are to go by your warped analogy, Russia should be 500 countries since they have the largest landmass in the world.

Niger and Kano states combined is bigger than the whole south West states. So therefore, we should create like 10 states from Niger and Kano since they are very big.

The landmass of isreal is smaller than the entire south East, yet isreal is a country.

Landmass is not the only factor that necessitates state creation.

Try dey update your mind.

For you Nigerians, everything na about stock... Not even that you understand what you're saying sef. If we ask you to analyse stock market now, you go begin talk climate change.

hahaha. You wicked oo walai. But I agree with you sha.

CoronaVirusPro:
Hard drugs, alcohol causes violence and accidents, and why it is a societal menace.

What does LBTQ cause?

I have heard the the false narratives about how LGBTQ is being forced on people. Where exactly does that happen?

If you not wired that way, you can never be that way.

everything about LGBTQ is wrong. When a child picks up the habit of stealing from childhood, you correct that child and not leave the child that way. LGBTQ is a deviation from the order of things. Almost every organism created by God has a male and female component, except for micro-organism that have both features in one.

Signs of LGBTQ in kids should be corrected and not encouraged. It's a deviation from the norm.

henrybomb:
LGBTQ should not be added to people’s personal choices especially “ this force it on “people mechanism.

If it is not an issue to you it is a big issue to a few of us because as we speak against hard drugs or alcohol, the same should be done to LGBTQ nonsense.

LGBTQ is a curse on humanity. There's nothing morally right with it.

MALE dogs don't male love with male dogs, this is a natural order of things.

seunmsg:
What’s your business with Lagos? How we vote in Lagos is none of your business. In 2023, nobody was allowed to vote for APC in the south east. The videos of Ibo people molesting APC voters are still available online. We never used Police or DSS to harass those that perpetrated the rigging and intimidation in the south east.

You see what Sego said earlier, that’s the general position of all of us in the south west. We won’t allow the nonsense that happened in Lagos in 2023 to repeat itself ever again. In 2027, we will adopt the south east model of voting. No amount of noise will change this. The era of Yoruba liberalism and sophistication is over. We are now going to play the game exactly how others are playing it.

Oga stop ranting. Tinubu is the president of Nigeria. You can have your Yoruba nation to yourself.

If people cannot live freely, vote freely wherever they are as Nigerians, then why do we keep deceiving ourselves with one Nigeria?

Orlandoo:
UK should continue pampering terrorists just to to be politically correct. One day they will regret their actions.

this is coming less than 1week of Trump’s statement to them. Let them continue.

Abdul05:
See Bros, if given order was enough, Nigeria would have been improved since 1960s..,

The problem.is not the man at top,..but it is those who take his orders and do nothing with them..

so what do the govt do to those who take orders and do nothing? The blame is still that of the commander in chief.

Abdul05:
Tinubu can campaign anywhere because his record will speak for him

Insecurity issues didn't start with him...at least he is confronting them instead of pretending as if they don't exist..let judge by progress not.propaganda..

pls list 5 achievements of Tinubu's govt.

Vinod007:
You people just jump to condemnation without researching. Tinubu has currently grown Nigeria's external reserve from 4billion to more than 42billion dollars.

your information is very very false sir.

Do well to show us your research.

7upnigeria:
With the way opposition Governors are commending the President, you should know by now that YOU ARE WRONG somewhere about the Nigerian economy. Soludo, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Bayo Ogunlesi. These are RENOWNED economists while YOU ARE just a nobody.

What you need is to THINK and do your research about what Asiwaju has done so far in Nigeria.

Nigeria belongs to everyone and not for the renowned economists alone. You don't need to be a renowned economist to be knowledgeable about the workings of an economy.

No matter what you preach, the essence of economic, political and whatever reforms you call it, is to make life much more meaningful for the average citizens. When the citizens complain of your policies while the elites praise you, then you should know there's something fundamentally wrong with your policies.

The elites can afford any austerity you place on them, and would indirectly take advantage of the austerity to maximise wealth. The poor on the otherhand lack the financial ability and hedging mechanism to adapt to the austerity.

This govt lacks empathy and care less about the sufferings of the average man. Nigerians are groaning and dying of hunger. This is the basic fact in the field.

Despite how bad bad leaders are, sycophants will sing their praise to remain relevant and gain their advantage.

Okonjo Iweala is a politician. Her networth today will be in billions of naira. You do not measure an economy only by the preachings of these people.

Gov Mbah is a multi billionaire. How do you know an economy is working based on the opinions of multibillionaires alone? Go and ask those who earn 1m to 50,000 monthly how the economy is fairing. This is the real measurement of an economy.

You don't tell me the American economy is working because Bill Gates, Marc Zuks, and other billionaires say it's working. You measure through an opinion poll of average Americans.
