Kemetian: Change in the Horizon: ''Nigeria Is Now Like Vietnam'' - Reno Omokri says after meeting Tinubu at Aso Rock
Omokri said the Tinubu administration has made progress in security, trade, and economic reforms, calling on Nigerians to support it irrespective of party differences.
....Omokri argued that the Tinubu administration has made some strides in security, trade, and economic reforms.
He cited the recent execution of some notorious bandit leaders in the North-West and the reduction of Nigeria's terrorism index rating from 8% a couple of years ago to less than 7% as evidence of security improvements.
Omokri also highlighted Nigeria's trade surplus of a combined ₦14 trillion in the first and second quarters of 2024, describing the feat as a laudable result of the ongoing reforms.
''One of the reasons for the first time we've had a trade surplus for two quarters was because we're exporting more than we're importing. So we're having a trade surplus because of the national security implication, what they are doing with our borders,'' he said.
He reiterated his support for the removal of subsidy on petrol, which he noted that the President's opponents in the 2023 elections had also promised to do the same.
He asked Nigerians to be patient and support the government irrespective of party differences.
''For the past, we've been borrowing and borrowing. Previous administrations don't have the courage to do what this administration has done - stop fuel subsidy. To sustain fuel subsidy, you need to be borrowing and when you keep borrowing, future governments, future generations are going to pay for it which is what we're experiencing now.''
''Right now, we're like Vietnam, our currency is now being stabilised, we're now having more goods manufactured in Nigeria, gradually it's going to affect you and I. So I want you to be patient,'' he stated.
helinues: Please stay with the topic. Everything shouldn't be about politics
Why are you running away from his questions you agent of division?
You want Igbos divided so they can be conquered easily both politically and otherwise, that was the brain behind Gowon state creation. But whenever the issue of Lagos state indigenes disassociating themselves from you lots is raised, you and your cohorts always get angry because you want yorubas in one bulk.
gidgiddy: Ohanaeze Leadership rotates amongst the 7 Igbo speaking States, the 5 states of the South East as well as Delta and Rivers State. It is due to move to Rivers State in 2025
For those who may not know, Rivers State is Indigenous to Igbo speaking people such as Etche, Obigbo, Ndoni, Ogba, Ikwerre, Egbema, Omuma and others. It is believed that 65% of Rivers State speak a dialect of of Igbo as their ancestral language
There have been names put forward, however, campaigning for the Position of Ohanaeze President General has been put on hold pending the burial of the late Ohanaeze President, Chief Iwuanyanwu. The President of Ohanaeze must be an Igbo man, he must hail from the State it is rotating to, must not be a member of any political party, and must be acceptable to the "Ime-Obi"
Names flying around so far include former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former speaker of the house of rep, Chief Chibudom Nwuche, current Deputy President General of the body, Chuef Ihunwo Obi Wali, as well as former Secretary-General, Barrister Uche Okwukwu
Who do you think should be the next President of Ohanaeze from Rivers State?
diamond68: This bola Tinubu may just be trying to kill three birds with one stone
1- undermine atiku by snatching Reno from him
2- he used Reno to brutalise and decimate peter obi in the table shaker propaganda wars that was so effectively executed by Reno so much so that obi is now appearing like a caricature of himself
3- he will use Reno to replace ajuri and then sack him 6 months into the job cuz I know he hasn't forgotten all the underhanded insults of being called pampers wearing bad teeth having drug dealer by Reno. So basically giving Reno this job is a setup for future disgrace
And this way the jagaban has effectively obliterated all his enemies using one man Reno. He obliterated obi atiku and Reno. Strong man tinz oooo
rino omockery the hungry fool🤣🤣🤣 Your arse licking exercise has given you a temporary pay. But it may kpai you and your glory at the long run.
Godwin4444: Omo this is a call for tears from people from d rising hate
So this is the reason why reno turned to tinibu arse licker all these while? And to think that reno was a tinibu critic before, and later turned to tinibu arse licker, just because tinibu bought his way to asorock as president is what baffles me the most.
Freetech: Compare 'leave Lagos and the one from that prostitute in Canada, which is worse.
How can you justify someone who want a whole main tribe and a minor tribe be poisoned out of existence but continue masturbating on this?
Do away with this victim mentality, hypocrisy and criminality. Inherent in your tribe. It's disgusting
Compare Igbos will be drowned in lagoon by oba akiolu also. Lets not forget that before Amaka made that beautiful statement in Canada, a whole lot of yorubas has made worst statement against Igbos and, because of you people's hypocritical nature, all of you supported the people that made those hate speeches. But you want Igbos to condermn Amaka for the statement she made in defence of her people, you must be dreaming.
Kingzjayzee: President Tinubu staunch loyalist and Igbo-Must-Leave-Lagos-Election-For-Yoruba campaigner, Yemi Adenuga is under fire in Ireland, where she is vying for nomination for position in the general election. The Irish nationals who watched her video calling for the Igbo to leave elections in Lagos for the Yoruba, have called on Nigerians to enquire if it is morally right for her to leave Irish election for the Irish?
Yemi Adenuga is facing avalanche of serious criticism over nominations to contest in Irish general election.
Irish and Nigerian critics have questioned her conscience and moral right to take part in Ireland election when she was involved in hate election campaign that asked the Igbo to leave Lagos for Yoruba during the last election in February 2023.
helinues: And where are the lies and propaganda on this thread.
It's looking obvious that we have been using different English curriculum across the Nigeria regions
You mentioned opposition in your post that is to say, you want the gullibles to believe that, its only the opposition that staged the protest. And I asked you whether, those yorubas that were seen chanting "tinibu ole" at ojota are the opposition you are talking about. I want you to say yes or no to my question 🤪🤪🤪
helinues: October 1 st protest would be mother and father of all protest, blah blah, Yehn Yehn
It failed as usual. When would the oppositions start listening to the voice of reasoning? You guys can't be channeling your energy on wrong things all the time
So those Yoruba people that were chanting "tinibu ole" at ojota Lagos, were all oppositions?
Wickedfact: Your Ohaneze President was almost beaten up for saying Ikwerres are Igbos.
Ikwerre traditional rulers have denied being Igbos. Yet, one nonentity is saying Ikwerres are Igbos by force.
During the war, igbo soldiers buried Ikwerre people alive. Ikwerre women were killed by having blunt sticks forced into their private parts by Igbo soldiers. Not to talk of thousands of Ikwerres butchered alive. Did Igbos do this to other Igbos?
Because of oil and access to the sea, you are now claiming Ikwerres are Igbos. If they born you well, go to Ikwerre land and tell them they are Igbos.
You keep telling us una fabricated lies about the war. Without telling us about how adekunle whom your people nicknamed "the scorpion" killed adaka Boro out greed. And you are also running away from the stories of asaba massacre why?

The traditional rulers you are referring to, are political thieves that is the fact. If you say ikwerre is not Igbo politically, I will agree with you but if you say ikwerre as a people are not Igbos I will put it to you that you are a liar and mischievous in nature.
Wickedfact: I will open a thread about the atrocities of Igbo soldiers against the Ikwerre people during the war. Is it the brutal killings of Ikwerres or maiming their women and children?
Let the world see how you hypocritical murderers treated Ikwerre people during the war.
Remember to tag me when you open the thread. That is if they born you well.
Wickedfact: You Igbo Biafrans didn't know Ikwerres were Igbos when you were killing them during the war?
Or, do you want to deny that Igbo soldiers killed Ikwerre people?
Now, you are back begging them to be Igbo.
See how Ikwerres were celebrating the defeat of Biafra. In fact, the Nigerian troops had to create a buffer between Ikwerre land and Igboland because the Ikwerres wanted to retaliate.
Elechi Amadi an Ikwerre man wrote about the atrocities of Igbos in Ikwerre land during the war.
Oga you are free to lie all you want using una aged long propaganda, after all lying is the modus oprendi of your tribe. The fact remains that ikwerre is Igbo no body has the ability to change this face not even you.
Shawarmagirl: The day Okachukwu Dibia will want to contest election in Lagos, same Yorubas hailing and cheering him now will remind him of being Igbos and want to dominate Lagos. Trust that tribe on your own.
helinues will even be the number one person that will start a campaign against him.
Godwin4444: I am defending tinubu cos j know they are all thieves n Igbos taught us that
My thief if better than your thief
If Igbos could defend obi whom they once cursed y will I not defend tinubu whom I av never cursed?
Two can play d game
That's not true its you yorubas that are always in the business of defending yoruba thieves because of tribalism. Igbos don't do that maybe that was the reason yorubas began to sell the lies that Igbos hate themselves.
Tell me Peter obi brain vision that is still in existence in Anambra today?
U said tinubu didn't do anything but tell me 5 things obi did better than tinubu?
I have told you what Obi did in Anambra as a governor, but you have failed to tell us what tinibu did special as a governor that, made you agents of deceit to sell him to Nigerians.
Godwin4444: educational system rose but lecturers went on strike for 6 months
Health system rose n doctors went on strike for 13 months
Many more rose but obi kept their money in private account
Even yahaya Bello n ortom self collect award
Answer my question and stop beating about the bush. Tell us how tinibu built lagos and the same tinibu has rendered Nigeria useless. Is that not enough evidence to prove that tinibu did not do anything meaningful during his time as Lagos governor? You guys used una usual lies and propaganda in selling him to Nigerians.
