Salewa97:
They don’t realize they’re just pawns in a bigger game.

Nigeria has seen enough chaos, and these protesters are just adding fuel to the fire. Instead of seeking genuine change, they’re being manipulated into causing more division.

Pls how do they seek this genuine change

EreluRoz:
I don't even like the way they are trying so hard to stop the protest, it's giving fear of incompetence. Protest is normal but it should be violence free.

Shebi you've seen that Tinubu is a bastard.

Keep supporting him o.

Salewa97:
This is exactly what I’m talking about. RCCG is trying to buy silence with garri when they should be addressing the real issues.

It’s like they’re saying, “Forget your problems, enjoy this free food instead.” What a way to distract the masses!

Instead of supporting the fight against hardship, they’re just enabling the status quo. It’s disappointing to see religious bodies playing politics like this.

If they really cared, they would rally their members to join the protest and demand change rather than just handing out snacks.

People need to wake up and see this for what it is: a ploy to keep everyone quiet while the government continues to fail us.

If you think these so called pastors have their members in mind, you're a joker.

They're after their selfish selves.

They frolick with politicians, dey are all padis, na gullible members I dey laff.

2special:
Some people have been programmed to read the wrong meaning to everything

So this crap is right?

You must be mentally unstable.


Improvish people and give them peanut for succor.

How long will it last, will dey drink garri forever?

And don't dare say the pastors are excluded from d ruins in Nigeria, they all synergize with politicians to improvish and destroy the nation, whether directly or indirectly.

They're all complicit, including the Muslim religious leaders.

Treadway:
already said all this and more in my thread when the power drunk idiot assumed power last year and swiftly started wrecking everything.

https://www.nairaland.com/8017949/how-nigeria-people-govt-got

Nigerians are too dull to know what's happening.

American currently has an inflation of 2.97% and they're complaining.

Nigeria has almost 40% galloping inflation and we're still docile


If we know how bad that is, we'll be on d Street morning till night without leaving or call for a revolution.

nairalanda1:
Yeah I get you, but assuming GEJ Had listened to the ojota people, and returned fuel to N65, back when we were spending N34 per liter as subsidy, and the price remained N65 to date, our subsidy cost would have risen from N34 per liter to N1300 per liter

You can see the effect it would have on our budget, and by extension our debt. Maintaing fuel at N195 was by May last year costing us 99% of our revenue in servicing

Agreed, e go stressful with subsidy removal in totality, but keeping subsidy is another way to economic disaster.

Why I prefer total subsidy removal is that it is the least worst of two worst options. ....it guarantees some more domestic refining, savings of forex, earning more forex, and crucially more jobs and investment. Keeping subsidy just makes things worse as removing it...without those added benefits.

Yes, subsidy removal was right, floating d currency at d same time was wrong.

You can't float a currency without steering the economy from import oriented to export oriented.


D naira flotation is the problem we're facing, not even d subsidy removal, it's just like our economy depends on dollar, same as d refined fuel.

Instead of him to put in place means that will boost our productivity, so we'll have enough surplus to export, he arrogantly floated the currency.


There's no light at the end of the tunnel, it's darkness upon darkness.

D CBN monetary policy cannot help, it'll only destroy businesses, dis inflation is not as a result of excess money in d economy.

This is a cost push inflation caused by Mr. Tinubu.

Cardoso is just doing try your luck.

jkpbestseries:
Supply Dangote crude so that price will reduce, government is playing politics with everything

Supply what?

You no hear news say na Tinubu family dey refine crude oil from Malta?

The old thief is literally extracting the oil, exporting it, refining it and selling back to Nigerians.

Nigerians don buy bad market.

nairalanda1:
Because they were being evil politicans who wanted to get into power.

And now they are in power, and all of a sudden protest suggestions are anathema to them

Never ever trust a politcian.

(Some people in occupy Nigeria were genuine, but trust tinubu and buhari to hijack the protests for their own ends. Heck, they played the game . NIgeria as usual always loses).

In as much as your assertion towards d removal of subsidy is spot on, Nigerians cannot afford to pay at the market price of 1800.

It will worsen d inflation rate, America has a current inflation of around 3% and they're complaining

Ours is heading to 40%, if not d fact dat d vast Nigerians, esp the youths are brain dull, they would have hit the street long before August 1st.

Do you know what it is for a country to have an inflation of almost 40% ? That's a galloping inflation.

Any inflation that has gotten to two digits inflation is hell.

Nigerians dey try o, 40% inflation and we are still calm, God forbid


And for d record, we all know Tinubu removed subsidy, not because he has d masses in mind, but because he wants enough money for him and his cronies to spend.

They're even borrowing to sponsor their lavish lifestyle

nairalanda1:
About the same as ours

Plus, the reason why we have scarcity is that we sell someting that costs 1300 at N700 and below.

Minuium wage does not come into it.

Do you even know what you're saying?

You're clamouring for 1800 per liter, you people are just wicked from the inside, trying to sound smart

Do you know the impact of that price on d already inflated economy?

You keep comparing with other countries, do they have d same inflation rate we have, is their currency as useless as ours?


Setting price at 1800 is equivalent to mass murder, that's when you'll see d real revolution.

89green:
Easier said than done bro.
That's not a new thing. Israel don see their match na. No one has monopoly when it comes to war.

Did you say match

Hezbollah wey don dey shit for pants, the cowards are denying.

But I trust Israel to give them wotowoto in days to come 😆


And you head slamming jihadist will only wail

LordIsaac:
;DHmmm…they should not make the government angry ooo. They have the power to draft all males 18 years and older into the army by force. All they need is initiate a pseudo-war.

As long as Seyi Tinubu will be at d war front, no problem.

And una say make people no protest. 😡

Una no go die well, including una useless supporters.

May your lives be in ruin as Tinubu has ruin Nigeria.

Checkwell:
You call them cowards. Yet they go to the battle field that you cannot go to.

You see them on the road on a normal day. They tell you to adjust for the good of you and me. But you argue with them and want to show them that you know your right and that you are well educated. All these so you can come online to rant that the military only show power when they see civilians.

Please get out.

Alaye, they're cowards, fûcking assholes who only know how to bully civilians.

Put them with subpar bokoharam and see dem pee on their pants like those 6 cowards

You think Nigeria soldiers have goodwill in Nigeria?

No one gives a fûck about them, fûcking bullies

successmatters:
So what? Better to buy fuel for 3k than die.

Oga carry your cowardice live fûck off

Stop instigating fear on people, like say you go live forever

Na your type no dey even live long

Fûcking coward 🖕

Safyqueen:
No wonder, you are the most stupid person ever created by ALMIGHTY GOD still existing in this world.
A wasted generation that always looks for trouble. You made this comment to attract the wrath of we Muslims and here you got it. If you don't desist from this kind of Islamaphobic tendencies, it will result to your death eventually and prematurely.

You that don't even know if you'll see tomorrow, you're talking like God.

How stupid you're

Biodun556:
Nigerians who supporting Dangote don't know much about what he is asking for

You bunch of hypocrites are d reasons people insult yorubas, double standard fvckers.

See how someone brought out your old post of you sucking dangote's grey balls.

Now you're against, fucking hypocrite, spit!

Why is our commander in chief of propaganda scared of protest?

That was what he used against Jonathan nah

And they shit on their pants when they see subpar bokoharam and bandits, tueh!

Chinkoalhaji34:
Toh, every kobo counts in tough times. Let's support the FG in managing our resources wisely. Those scholars should also understand the realities we face as a nation.

Has Tinubu slashed his own expenses (wastage).

Na hypocrisy go kee una las las

Max24:
Sit there and be asking mumu questions. Sorry if you are part of the Ebinpawa crew. I can't help you if you can't see beyond the temporary hardship. It's only intelligent people that can see beyond the horizon.

D way you dumb people put your trust in Nigeria politicians is amazing

efemena5050:
oga go back to my post and read with ur low IQ check if I stated anything like killing innocent people.....I bliv I made it clear people that needed to be killed ...so where are u coming from........u just quote me to feel as if u HV sense but to even read and understand na problem......

How do u know who is innocent?

Do you know how many wrong judgement have been passed to innocent people.

According to your analogy, and my example,
If d US woman was in Nigeria and was cut into pieces as you móron suggested, for a wrong judgement made by a judge, 40 years ago.

Will she be alive today at least to witness freedom and justice?


I won't trade words with you, coz you sound immature

efemena5050:
God will punish Nigeria leaders for not being serious with issues like this........no need to use guns just get a Cutlass that is half sharp and televise it on Nta ....cut him to pieces from his legs to his face gradually.........all bandits .....thief's ..... children rapist...... homosexuals..kidnappers.......alike......make NTA viewership increase .....

What if your kill innocent ones.

Abi you of hear of d innocent lady in d US that served for 40years, what if they've killed her for a crime she didn't commit?

You guys just talk without reasoning.

Ritchiee:
Those Northerners brought Nigeria to this sorry state.
They are the bko haram and bandits blocking farmers and also begging the govt not to import so it doesnt destroy their business.
Subsidy scam is mostly dominated by them and some other atrocities that they indulge in that had made Nigeria a sorry state.

There will be pain but Tinubu will fare best God's willing.
Rome was not built in a day.It has been years of enormous rot.

But your lord and savior Tinubu fought tooth and nail against subsidy removal when Jonathan was in power.

I'm sure hypocrite like you also protested in 2012.

Your hypocrisy stinks to high heaven, tueh!



Keep bearing pains why Tinubu and his family and cronies lavish and deplete the country's scarce resources.

Asked yourself what Tinubu has sacrificed, has he cut down his own expenses (wastage), abi na only masses go do all d sacrifice for d so called greater good?

Una mumu no fit ever do, tueh!

Rubyjade:
You know them once you see them, they are always in a hurry, from rushing busses to many things. A few years ago whole in Benin standing at the b/stop and the bus came for us to board it lo and behold a woman rushed the bus and everyone was staring at her and I walked up to her to ask, are you from Lagos and she said yes, I just laughed

Very true.

If you show any signs of weakness in Lagos, dem go run you street, that's why everyone is always paranoid

See, Lagos is hell.

If you weren't born and bred in Lagos, you'll find it difficult to cope.

Tinubu, you do this one.

BabaAgba79:
They should go and farm! To plant is not difficult! All bunch of lazy people!

This dumb people again


Should we also open a bakery at our backyard, so we can eat bread?

Should we also irrigate Atlantic Ocean to our backyard so we can fish.

And maybe start grazing cows too, to be able to eat meat.

Dumb modafuckers

Gandrova:
Probably you were still in Nursery not to have known the atrocities the beast committed against innocent Nigerians.

Then what is Tinubu committing against people of this present day?

Mass murder thru hunger.

Nigeria has never had it this bad, tueh on Tinubu and anyone supporting him.

nairalanda1:
Yes,it is a sad thing Nigeria is burdened with isnesntive leaders like tinubu.

But at the end, subsidy does cost the economy a lotta money.

In as much as I don't support subsiding fuel coz of corruption, no developed country developed without subsiding one thing or another. Even America govt still subsided things for her citizens.


But what is baba Tinubu subsiding, Pilgrim

That has no economic benefits.


If you think this country is ever going to get better with Tinubu at the helm of affairs, sorry to say bro, you're dumb.

And I'm not saying obi or atiku would have done better, I don't know.

What im saying is d youth, irrespective of tribes or religion should synergize to take out useless politicians when they misbehave.

Not still supporting them just like you and d rest are doing.

Suffering has no tribe or religion

Even if you're earning high, the economy will reduce your propensity to save or invest.

nairalanda1:
The truth is, if Obi won, fuel would be expensive now.

As at May 29 , 2003, NIgeria was using 99% of its revenue to service debt. Any money that would have been used to keep fuel below N300 or even below N200 would have had to come from taking more loans and more loans. Something had to give, and unfortunately it was the subsidy.

I am not here to say that tinubu is doing the right thing, especially since he has brought back subsidy since October 2023, otherwise fuel would have been over 1000 naira as it should be, and I am not here to say that APC knows better , but the fact is, we were in a position where we could no longer afford subsidy at the rate we were doing then.


Even now, we cannot afford subsidy.


All I would say is...in 2012, we had the last chance to be rid of subsidy. But most of you agreed ironically with Tinubu that it should remain....and here we are.


If we want more working refineries and more jobs in the petrol sector, we have to have fuel sold at market price. It is not a popular message. Yes, I am just as angry with the government , and yes, APC Has failed, and yes, Tinubu is not the best president we have had.

But right now, we are not earning enough money to pay for cheap stuff anymore. And it is very very painful






Calling me a tinubu supporter or a IMF Lackey does not change the sad fact.

But your Tinubu cannot cut his cost.

Upon his wealth, he's still living extravagant with tax payers money.

Buying jet, yacht and the ones we don't even know about.

And you call him your leader??


Nigeria is heading for recession soon, with this rubbish going on, inflation will increase and there'll be a massive cut in purchasing power which will lead to a cut in aggregate demand. Will lead to full unemployment and massive downsizing.

I pity all of us, esp you dumb people that keep supporting this empty skull old fool.

His online useless urchins will never show their faces here.


I'll continue to say, anyone still believing in this government is the biggest fool alive.

Lies and crappy excuses.

Na d dumb idiots still believing the scammers called govt I pity.
