I already said he’s not a saint. But there was no tribal war then. People are taking this too far and outside Nairaland when you meet then it’s reflecting in their way of life..

Openyamind111:
Pessimists, your food is here. But let me remind you: the current state of Nigeria is not the fault of one man. Someone can want to lead and try to reform the system without being crucified simply because they weren’t your preferred candidate. the problems we face are the result of decades of leadership since independence.

Yes, the current president is not a saint and he has flaws. Yes, all politicians are the same. But you cannot blame him alone for insecurity, especially when some groups use violence or extortion to pursue their own interests. This country is complex: individual interests differ greatly across religion, ethnicity and politics.

You should keep criticizing, but also understand the consequences, the outcomes you see every day reflect your state of mind. Stop always looking for someone else to blame for your misfortune; it’s an easy habit. As usual, bring your insults if you must, I’m waiting.

Throwback:
I always shame when I see Nigerians celebrating this.

Many of them are not innocent in the decay and disgrace that is Nigeria. Only difference is they are now in a country that will not tolerate what is tolerated in Nigeria.

Even if I have to take up such "shameful" course of action, it would be in quiet and private, nothing to celebrate in an economic refugee return to the same places ones ancestors did everything to escape captivity and slavery.

Lithiumite:
the installation by Sade tinubu is purely a social affair and nothing more.

Igbofirstfarmer:
the rod is good all the time.

Almunjid:
Which of the presidential aspirants possesses integrity? Is it Atiku, whom Obasanjo described as disloyal and prone to corruption, or Peter Obi, who vowed never to leave APGA but subsequently betrayed the party by joining PDP, then LP, and is now reportedly planning to defect to ADC if offered a ticket? Instead of resorting to name-calling and bitterness due to your preferred candidate's loss in the election, why not sheathe your sword and support the incumbent? Anyone leading the nation is akin to our pilot, and only a fool would wish for the pilot of the plane they are traveling in to crash simply because their preferred pilot wasn't chosen. Remember, if Tinubu fails, Nigeria fails, and we will all suffer the consequences.

Peace!

frazee:
It's seems Nigeria is 2 countries and I am in the other one.... Jagaban is in the stable one.....

fuckJones:

Lazy9jaYouth:
Pls wake me when Peter Obi either address this issue or pay a visit to Nnewi, Otherwise forever remain quiet.

Salubata:
Happy 64th birthday to my beloved country.

Gid bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria


That means you as citizen is very very unproductive to have effective anything positive into Nigeria.
Because you kot castigating Nigeria are Nigeria whom should be blamed.

You want to live at the expense of your country but in real World, your country lives at your expense, check developed worlds.

I quote Reno Omokri

Before You Protest On Independence Day

The biggest challenge to Nigeria's progress as a nation is not corruption, tribalism, terrorism, inflation or even the removal of fuel subsidy. It is our entitlement.

The government did not do this. The government did not do that. I wish every Nigerian could travel the world. There is nothing like government airports, hospitals, schools, or markets in these nations we want to japa to.

Governments in Europe, America and Canada do not go into business or provide many of the services the Nigerian government provides for the Nigerian people.

Hospitals are built, owned and operated by the private sector. Ditto for hospitals, universities, airports, power stations, transmission lines, and sometimes even roads.

59.9% of Americans pay taxes, and their tax money is mostly used to fund the government and the military. I challenge you to find one government-owned hospital in America for civilians.

Even their postal services are run by the private sector.

When you hear British Telecommunications, British Gas, British Aerospace, British Energy and British Airways, none of them are owned by the British government.

When you hear Bank of America, American Airlines, and American Electric Power Company, these are all private companies.

The most profitable business run by the U.S. government is the U.S. military. Almost every other thing they leave for the private sector.

Please fact-check me: If you earn €58.597 in Germany, you will pay 42% of your income or €24,610 as taxes. There will be riots if you ask Nigerians to pay this level of tax. But we want a German level of delivery from our government. So, where will the money to run Nigeria come from?

In 1960, Nigeria could afford that because our population was 45 million, and we needed to raise an educated class speedily. By 1970, we could still afford it, and we did provide it, because our population was just approaching 50 million, and we still had a shortage of qualified persons.

But this was no longer practicable by the 1990s when our population topped 120 million. And how when we are twice that, at 220 million, it would be ruinous.

Britain went through these stages, and Mrs. Thatcher was forced to end birthright citizenship, introduce council tax, and privatise every government-owned business, including giants like British Telecom, British Gas, British Energy, British Aerospace, and British Airways.

Fewer than 8% of Nigerians actually pay income taxes, yet we want the government to build schools, hospitals, power stations, transmission lines, railways, airports, stadia, etc.

Then, after doing these, the government should still have money left over to subsidise fuel and power and give palliatives to Nigerians, or we will protest their alleged mismanagement and corruption.

Even insecurity stems from this issue. We need about five million soldiers and security officers to effectively secure Nigerians, but we have less than two million. We need at least three million more soldiers, policemen, airmen, etc. But when only about 6% of us pay taxes, where will the money to pay them come from?

Nigerians are the main problem of Nigeria!

You will hear them say, but we have oil.

Saudi Arabia has a population of 35 million and makes $350 billion annually from oil. That is $10,000 per citizen. Nigeria has a population of 220 million people and generates approximately $36 billion from crude annually. That is $150 per person. At 2.6 million people, Qatar is just one per cent of our population. Yet, their annual revenue is $68 billion. Two and a half times that of Nigeria.

Nigeria is not "oil rich". We are oil-poor. On a per capita basis, Ghana is more oil-rich than we are. We produce 1.5 million barrels per day for a population of 220 million people. Ghana produces 200,000 barrels per day for a population of 32 million.

So, when Nigerians hardly pay taxes and our oil and gas revenue is insufficient to meet the demands of running our country, we are forced to borrow or print money, which means that inflation will increase.

And under this situation, we cannot afford to artificially reduce the price of fuel by paying subsidy. We will go bankrupt. Therefore, as much as this annoys you, the only options are to allow market forces to control the fuel price, just as it does other commodities, or we must be prepared to pay higher taxes.

Failing that, Nigeria will continue to borrow or print more money, fueling inflation and increasing commodity prices.

Protests and riots cannot change these economic realities. They will be just like a child's tantrum when his parents cannot afford to buy him a toy.

Nigerians want to live at the state's expense, forgetting that the state has to live at the expense of the people or it will collapse, as the Soviet Union did in 1991.

rizingsun:
I believe that lecturers should be paid their past salaries because they will still teach the students all that they were supposed to be taught.
If you deny them their salaries, should the student be graduated to the next level/class without teaching and examination?
If this holds, third year students will then graduate and pass out. collect their their certificates and proceed to NYSC scheme.
So if the lecturers will teach the omitted schemes and examine the students as they should, then they deserve to be paid.
This is a postponed job that must be done before going forward.

Donjazet2:
Obidients should of forget to sensitize other nairalanders to the Tinubu troll farm. To how they manufacture fake likes for their posts.

lhordspy:
You can do whatever you like senator.
He, Obasanjo is a yoruba elderstateman, we respect and adore him.

But you see, we the good people of Nigeria dont give a fvck anymore.

Asiwaju Tinubu Jagaban is a moving train.
And nobody stands at the front of a moving train, am i right?

Get onBoard or Get knock off.
The choice is His.
