I don't really have problem with the removal of fuel subsidy. My problem is that when the same subsidy was removed then in 2012-2013 by the PDP government, why is that the proponents of subsidy removal now fought so hard against the removal then.
I mean these guys called the then Government clueless, Kindergarten president, they occupied Nigeria, blocked Lagos, made mocked coffins of then president, they spent days in Gani fawehini Park in Ojota, they even came with their cooking pots and stoves spare headed by the current President now in Aso Rock telling Lagosians and Nigerians that the PDP Government was an Anti Christ, the devil, that they didn't mean well for Nigerians that yhe policy should be reversed immediately for the good of Nigerians.

Now, you won elections you removed the same fuel subsidy you fought violenty against, even going the extral mile now wanting to enact law to prevent reversal of same policies you fought hard against?

I mean most of the Financial experts agreed it was the right thing to do then.
My question is why did they disrupt the previous Government knowing fully well it was the right thing to do.
Could it be out of spitefullness, hatred, wickedness, disloyalty, tribalism, selfish interest.?
I mean if the subsidy was agreed ab initio to get rid of, Nigerians would have gotten past these hardships long time ago in our national life.

This is one thing I can't wrap my head around. I'm confused someone should enlighten me.

Oh no, we see clearly Madam Remi, we see that Nigeria is now the poverty capital of the world. We also see that 17 million Nigerians are now below the poverty line.

Perhaps it's your Husbaand that needs to see thru the Lens of the Citizens.

Pls is Wike in PDP or APC?

Opposition working for ruling party, ruling party working for the opposition. This is just politics of stomach infrastructure.

Bro if you look around the world, you will see so many things, animals, plants, water, insects, the moon, the stars and the sun. so many scientists have tried their best to explain how all these came about, starting from Evolution theory, big bang theory, inflation theory and other scientific postulates, not even one has been able to find the answer to it, this means there must have been a supernatural agency that started all these things. I believe in God, but I'm not the type that tries to use religion to solve real world problems, I don't allow religion to control my mind, but I believe God exist.

Or why can't we just say "we don't know"
I mean what we don't know we don't know, right?

It's sad that Delta state (warri) is now shadow of itself, a once promising city is now an arrested development, what is left now is vestiges of its former glory. The attitude the indigenes exhibit today was what was witnessed decades earlier. That state had the capacity to be like Lagos with its natural resources but here we are. Shior

How is she suppose to defeat that APC strongman in the name of OGBEIDE IHAMA

Who built and established systems?
Who maintains them

Leaders alone? The people mostly?

A wise man once said that a society can cope with one or two, three fools but when they become large in numbers they can bring down a society especially when they start adorning themselves in these little hats, shirts etc, next you know they are holding AK47s and whatnot so don't underestimate the power of fools.

Look our society is an anomaly where there's a reward for impunity. As long there is endless supply of money to pay off the people that could effect changes and shut them up then I'm sorry nothing can ever change. That's a reality check.

anonimi:
Any idea why 200 million Nigerians allow thugs and gangsters to emerge from among us to hijack OUR political space?

Do you think this is because we are all thugs and gangsters too

My brother this is a topic for another long discussion but you're not far from the truth. There are so many ingredients that culminate to this anomaly.

It is essentially the system, it rewards impunity, it does not punish impunity. Its a deeply corrupt system, these are not leaders at the helm of affairs cos no leader would want to see his followers suffer, these are overlords protecting thier estate through their proteeges, Sons, families and cronies.

From the Desk of the Mace thief. Who can forget his notoriety, his ignoble role at the past national assemblies. He thinks all Nigerians have hysterical amnesia.

What a Joke... but hey welcome to Nigeria where thugs and gangstars have hijacked the political space.

There's something about political office in Nigeria that once the holder loses an election he immediately has severe withdrawal symptoms that the only way to cure it is to go back to be reelected by any means necessary.

Everybody wants share of the NATIONAL CAKE hook or by crook

MrEar:
The world wants peace but ''Gods chosen people'' want war.

Chosen people indeed. Lol

dominique:
Iran gave you a glimpse of what they're capable of during the 12 day war, why go and attack them again? You should have just stayed within the confines of your powers and kept flexing your muscles against the likes of Syria and Lebanon, we wouldn't have known you were this toothless.

..

The thing tire me. God's own people are now ammunition investigators lol

yinkus6750:
Why must Iran now focus it's attack on fellow Islamic nations ?
Destroying Dubai has no effect on USA.
Trump will ensure he achieved his purpose on Iran.
UAE has been a peaceful tourist nation. It's destruction,tho will indirectly affect so many other countries. But that won't save Iran from been cleared of its terrorist activities.

Look at this one. Epic fury spokesman from Kafanchan

OVB123:
I don't really understand, why is it that in every economy indexes, Edo state is always at the top? Seeing the state in forth position surpassing the likes of Delta and Enugu state makes me to wonder.

Edo is a foremost state. The citizens of that state are aware, they follow trend and they are exposed

Jakarta:
Give it to Tinubu when it comes to politics. Even though he failed woefully as a president from my own assessment, that pa is a master strategist.

I wonder what APC will look like after his 8 years tenure. That not withstanding the APC is setting a very bad precedence, for those happily jumping up and down now, don't wail later on when another party does same thing oh!!

Master strategist to the you and the army of iliterates voters but we know most of the electorates up north have no mind of their own plus the heavily flawed electoral process makes him master strategist to you and not us.

Just look at your reasoning, I'd bet if the party you support were to be in the opposition, you wouldn't make such utterances.

Now you wanna build Nigeria? What has APC been doing for the past 11 years or so

akingangan:
On your mandate we shall stand! Finally Nigeria becomes unified one party government like China. Now we can focus on building our Nation instead of fighting each other in what the westerners call democracy but which in actual fact is divide and conquer system of government.

Welcome to the new world order

CyynthiaKiss:
What did they do when Trump destroyed their nuclear facilities last year ?

I'm not a fan of the Iranian Government but it's military has demonstrated that it has the capacity for a long reach, an example was the 12 days war with Israel.

Why would a stable Iranian givernment want full blown war with US along with Israel it had everything to lose but now the case is different, its like revolution taking place in Iran, that Government won't go down without a roforofo fight.

If you notice the US is being careful with this .
My 2 cent.

Iran has the capability to retaliate

No wonder gumi has been crying up and down since morning. His beloved has been neutralised

lawani:
Biafra means you have a country you can do anything with. You decide the policies, control the central bank and own the resources. You also use your language as official and you are better able to preserve your identity and project yourself to the world. It does not mean all of you have to live there. There is no country where all the citizens live there

Talking about eating your cake and having it

ebukal67x:
So you are advocating for genocide?

Maybe a legislation to peg maximum number of children to 4 per family. The population of Nigeria is a ticking time bomb.

They have started... always spreading propaganda, deflecting blame to cover thier ineptitude and backward ways of living...

Guestmale:
What is the fixation about changing of service chiefs by the president,is there anything these oppositions are doing underground to undermined the nation securities that changing of service chiefs distrupt their plan or caught them unaware. It's like President Tinubu has beaten them to their game again.

Of course there's nothing there in changing service chiefs, the issue here is if the rumour is true about the attempted coup then obviously there are some disgruntled elements within the armed forces,...that's the issue and it's not healthy

jamafa:
U too like dey generalize things

Just say U and family don't like DX government.

Simple!

U just hate the president for no reason 🤣

What has the man done wrong??

For removing subsidy bah??

I don't know if this is sarcasm or satirical but for the sake of your message I will indulge you, for the record I'm not generalising nor do I hate him, i speak out for the Love I have for the Country and what the country could have been. I have nothing against the President nor his appointees, I don't know them... I'm just disgusted with the way things have turned from bad to worse.

To his defence he didn't start it but he made it worse. I don't want go into the nitty gritty details but we all (Nigerians) are testament to this.

The masses, the military, the oppostions are not happy with this Government, only the party supporters, members and immediate beneficiaries are happy with the party.

Like the philosopher 'PLATO' once said democracy is heavily flawed, "just because an individual can win votes doesn't mean he can govern well, for when we're sick we don't go for the handsomest physician".

buckeyemedia:
What is the name of your governor, & local government chairman?

What has this got to do with what we're discussing?

zoedew:
Your skewed view on the matter had optics blinded to read “work” in my post. Your hatred for prayer might just be your albatross in life. Please give my post another shot!

Yeah, Most Nigerians are stuck in religious dogmatism, your lame attempt to attack me or strike a chord in a religious context explicitly shows you lack critical thinking. I understand "believe in faith' is a personal thing, forgive me if you feel offended that was not the intention.

Look, the issue is this, how long can religious Nigerians keep migrating (in the name of searching for greener pastures) to countries who are Non religious, who have spent their time on proper governance, they did not sit in churches and mosques all day for the level of human development they have attained, their exertions on infrastructural, human development was bore out of neccesity through meticulous planning and execution not prayers.

You speak on 'work'
What is work without sincerity
What is work without Honesty
What is work in full glare of corruption
What is work with a faulty foundation
What is work with instituionalize tribalism
What is work without plan and vision.

Look we can all play to the gallery all we want, the next wave of Nigerians migrating abroad will just be the needed catalyst for other nations to lablel Nigeria as a pariah state and tag them persona non gratas

Excuse my typos.
