offpoint. you have already gone round in circles cos I asked about Tinubu, you are talking about buhari.

How has Tinubu been impressive?

You are forthwith ignored Mr.

I already mentioned the template against which I am evaluating Tinubu, and that is the Buhari's administration. Check properly the comment you quoted.

If to your mind Tinubu hasn't been a better administration in comparism to Buhari, who am I to convince you otherwise "Mr. Onpoint?"

Kindly take your Q & A session elsewhere.

Removing subsidy without functional refinery, this only trickle effect is felt in all sectors

Increase in education fee

Dollar liberalisation

Increase in political appointees

Jumbo allowance for legislature

Giving alleged 5bn to govs, just like giving monkeys banana for an errand

Increase in MDA charges for professional

Oga

You are now saying he appointed non Hausa to security, he reverse 8k, he did showoff intervention in Niger republic


Can you pray that the way tinubu is running nigeria, should be your lot


Ire o



Increase in electric meters

A better way of approaching conversation is this, not hurling insults.

Now, we all agree Nigeria is broke and the last administration left us at over a trillion naira debt. How is government going to fund its budget if it doesn't find ways to raise revenue and that ofcourse includes taking out subsidy which we have all agreed shpuld
should be tajen
taken out.

Most of the you have made up there, I am not privy and will not engage in hear-says.

The allowances for legislature has always been there and this is not an
excuse for overbloated government.

To your next-to closing paragraph which I am interested in, ask what appointing only northerners to top security hierachy did to polity and mental inclusiveness of other tribes before coming here to ridicule it. If inclusiveness is not so much an issue, the Federal Character idea will be of no moment, South will not demand presidency based on turn.

Again, if you understand international politics, especially the fact that Africa is centre of Nigeria's foreign policy, then you'll better appreciate thag Tinubu's stance on Niger boosts not only the country's image but confidence of sub-regional groups on the country's abililty to provide leadership for the sub-region.

I will close with this, my argument is not on whether Tinubu is perfect or not, but rather is a comparative analysis of his governance vis-a-vis Buhari's. I expected you'd have noticed thag. So I still can't understand the reason for your insults earlier

Oga

You are a mediocre, this is what you stated as impressive

You are a ridiculous comedian

Mtchew

I understand quite a number of you here resort to insults instead of engaging in decent conversations.

Kindly look your kind.

Have a blessed day.

Oga I'm not ready to go in circles with you as I know your modus operandi.

Buhari spent 6months to get ministers who he termed irrelevant.

Buhari spent most of his 1st term of medical tour abroad.

Buhari without regard to the country's unity appointed cronies from North, there is today a spread of appointment especially at the security top hierachy.

The hardship you alluded to began with Buhari shutting borders with food prices immediately skyrocketing. The Naira also lost its value from 240 to a dollar to 700 when he left. Tinubu removed the subsidy we all agreed should be gone, his approach you may not like.

soccerlite:
Point out the impressive areas

Abi you don't know what governance means

Burdens are supposed to be reducing, but they are increasing

And you said you aren't apc support, oga emancipate yourself

From your pictures you are old enough to understand deceit

Sir, you can check out the thread I created for that purpose. I can least not less than 10 areas Tinubu has shown more competence; from engaging labour unions directly to appointing young liberal people across board (check heads of secirty which used to be Northern dominated) to making strong pronouncements on coups within Africa, listening to Nigerians and backtracking on the 8k palliative, not heating up polity with RUGA et al. Till date the IPOB issue is yet to abate, a direct consequence of actions as Operation Python Dance. Tinubu appears a better negotiator. I can go on and on abeg.

Check previous post of writers to know who is an APC supporter.

I created a post yesterday of Buhar/Tinubu and wanted forum members to decide who is better in governance. Today FFK echoed my sentiments.

I am not an APC support and believe the APC might not have won the elections because of Buhari's ouring, but Tinubu has been impressive. By this time Buhari had gone on several medical trips, spending over a month abroad on medical tourism.

The two of them came at different but most auspicious times that Nigerians needed them. At the time Buhari came, Boko Haram had overwhelmed the Nigerian Armed Forces and captured Nigerian territory, the size of Belgium and Abuja was already under siege. He has largely played his part to subdue insurgency, banditry and kidnappings.
Tinubu on the other hand, will mainly fix and restructure the economy which is now not too good. He will place Nigeria far and above the Africa’s standard , as the continent’s largest economy, largest market and largest democracy.

Another perspective, but insecurity didn't start and end with Boko Haram. We saw herdmen killing in numbers. I dare say deaths recorded outnumbered the GEJ's era. Villages down South were ransacked, trains attacked, South East started it's unrest about same time, and till date yet to recover. Broa I can go on and on.

kokoA:
Buhari was a colossal failure, he had no approach whatsoever, he felt just by occupying the position people will be scared of him and do the right thing. He was totally clueless.

Lmao. Meanwhile many APC apologists then said he's best thing after sliced bread, only to sing another tune now.

Rayban25:
Check the value of naira from may and it will just deflate all this your "on paper" points. ive said my own finish.

I've checked sir and I agree with you it's biting but then, we don't manufacture, export; only import, what would you do instead as president considering the exchange rate was artificially low.

Trust me, I'm a terrible economist but economists here can discuss that better.

That said, will you rather pick a Buhari since the exchange rate appeared low under him? Again, I recall the exchange rate performed abysmally under Buhari. Check the records.

DaddyCoool:
My brother dollar I was buying for 600+, with Tinubu it's now way up. Favored some tho

My man, trust me; it's biting even the most ardent of Buhari's supporters but I recognize that where we are now is part of Buhari's failures.

I cannot say I am an economics expert but I've learnt here government could not continue subsidizing fuel and the dollar.
My only pain is Tinubu has not shown by cutting cost what he will do with the money freed up. I'd have expected he'd start with his restructuring gospel, cut governance cost especially as exisy in the legislature, ministries etc; then Nigerians can trust we are in the pain together.

Rayban25:
well for me whats the point of pretending about something when you wont do it? you only prove to people that youre nothing but a liar its that simple. and as for general politics matter all i can say is that nigerians dont learn. They are in for a long ride. They had better eat because the journey is far.

How do we say he doesn't listen but reversed the 8k palliative directive? How can we say he doesn't listen but called to a round table, Labour; even addressed Nigerians? Buhari no send that one. Make your pick.

BoldBrainz:
I don't like Tinubu cause of his lack of integrity and moral decency, but he's a far better administrator than the Daura failure.

Respeck sir. I love the honesty.

Truth is as humans, not zombies we must criticize were necessary and applaud where we can. The extremes on issues are different sides of same coin, LP/PDP- never appreciate; APC-never criticise (even when they know the president is wron).

I know say APC rig that election, but then Tinubu has been provong himself.

suckmedownthere:
None, no difference between shit and shit

Lol. Are you sure you considered the points ma? Trust me, you will pick a choice sooner or later cause we always do. People still compare GEJ, OBJ's administration to now.

Thanks for contributing all the same.

Rayban25:
Tinubu only pretends to listen. its obvious he is there for his own selfish ambition if not he wouldnt have rigged his way into power. buhari too used the " i assure you" statement countless times. white people call africans "black monkeys" for the obvious reasons youre seeing. Shalom

If you ask me, I'd rather someone that pretends to listen to someone that doesn't bother listening. It means the former respects the people atleast.
There are other points there too sir that you may want to talk on.

For the rigging, trust me; I agree but again Tinubu may shock many.

iammo:
Tinubu might be better but Nigerians need stubborn people like Buhari in some cases

Yes but stubborn to doing the right things. What's the point being stubborn about keeping appointees who are not performing or continuing with a policy a section of the country is uncomfortable with?

As we cry about en nothernization of his government, guy no send us.

Puremind1225:
The two of them are birds of same feather 🪶,
Extremely corrupt, lifeless grandpas.

But Tinubu has not been in and out of medical care. We see him every now and then engaging people. Mind educating me further sir?

Rayban25:
none

buhari is the deep blue sea while tinubu is the devil

How sir? Tinubu listens, Buhari doesn't. I'd love to know if you'd educate me sir.
