we are saying the same thing,stay there and wait for the government to come and fix your life for you,don’t sit down and ask your self what are other youths doing to make money in the same economy you are waiting for government to be blamed for every of your misfortune

But govt is fixing the life of govt officials buying them luxury cars, houses, paying them estacodes, all sorts of allowances but you feel govt owes you nothing. Unfortunate beings

When will Nigeria govt start building power plants. Dem neva tire for road construction

zero8zero:
A foreign group that sit in their office without being in the field with the military who are facing the war, wants me to believe their c0ck and bull stories over the credible figures of our gallant military. But watch and see how some unpatriotic elements asslick amnesty international, these elements would quickly condemn amnesty international when they release figures and condemn the genocide of Isreal war crimes in Gaza. But will believe amnesty international against their own country, talking about white slaves mentality.
God bless the Nigerian Military, God bless Nigeria.

You did not say this when they were releasing damning reports under Jonathan rather you supported them. Hypocrites

Op is a sorry case of coping with grief. From 12 years spent demonising Jews and nation of lsreal, blaming Jews for all the world problems. You want to spend another 12 years writing about Kanu. Pity yourself

muykem:
Professional economist are praising Tinubu reform but one third class in philosophy is criticising it.

Reforms that don't improve welfare of ordinary Nigerians is useless reforms. Govt is not about raising revenue and borrowing money

How does this help ordinary people overcome hardship despite all their hard work. Tinubu achievement are all about increase in govt revenue, increase price of everything, sign executive orders that are of no use to ordinary people, borrowing loans. That why you hardly hear them mention job creation, reduce inflation, increase value of Money etc

WizardOfNG:
When I tell you to stop arguing emotionally and pettily, based on personalised hatred for individuals like Tinubu, you start rolling on the floor like a baby.

Yet, again, you hijack an interesting topic to attack Tinubu as a "hypocrite" who cannot restructure Nigeria and make it appear OP is now recanting and claiming only a Northerner can when OP actually said "best" and not "only".

Yet I urge you, and other Nairalanders as well, to look at the bolded part in your post. The smartest, most critical thinking and most pragmatically discerning Nigerians will know Tinubu is aware of the bolded.

It is obvious knowledge of the bolded in your post, i.e awareness that thousands of Shiek Gumi exist to claim Tinubu's restructuring is a deliberate effort to pauperise the North, is guiding the utterances and actions of PBAT.

He is not overtly and openly shouting "restructuring" but only sentimental and biased folks , like you, will not understand many of his policies and reforms are key component of restructuring in all but name.

From removal of fuel subsidy, graudual phasing out of electricity subsidy, replacing education subsidy with loans to attract money into the education sector that then improves the quality of education delivered, floatation of the Naira, establishment of six regional development councils, Forest guards, total deregulated freedom of States to create, control and operate their own power solution etc, etc, etc, etc.

Even a blind man will be capable of discerning and 'seeing' much more than a prejudiced and simple-minded man, with problem-free vision, who prefers to shut his eyes and mind to remain very blind to what is obvious because he is always focused on individuals and never ideas.

This is a fine and educational topic I am sure you and others will use your small-minded outlook to ruin because of hatred for an individual i.e Tinubu.

Discuss ideas if you can and it will be obvious Tinubu, more than any other President post-1999, is firmly and clearly restructuring Nigeria for those who understands what restructuring is and what it aims to achieve

Utter nonsensical rubbish. How is removal of fuel subsidy, devaluation of naira, students loan restructuring. You are definitely not intelligent stop trying to sound intelligent

Tunde835:
I'm planning on starting a tech company soon

Oh you are still in planning stage all this while yet you are calling other Nigerians lazy and dumb

Tunde835:
If Nigerians keep being d*mb and uncreative $1 dollar is going to equal #5,000 naira soon

You that is condemning ordinary Nigerians as dumb, which company have you started

Commentor:
What are the things we should not be importing?

Name 5.

Refined crude
Steel products
Aluminum products
Petrol chemical products
Finished textile products

Okoroawusa:
An association of fuel importers are fighting Dangote and NNPCL but because of hate Obidients are clapping for them.

Okay ooo!

Are u normal. What is obidient business. Is oando owned by tinubu cousin not one of the major oil importers

Love800:
Omo, all those people i usually see going into the refinery facility for work everyday, what are they doing inside!

They are like ajaokuta steel workers

AntiChristian:
Na dollar price affect everything!

Even person wey dey plant for him backyard do local gari without security issues dey elevate price.

Even person wey them convert CNG bus for am free dey charge same price as normal petrol buses!

Blame Tinubu till tomorrow, Nigeria still remains better than Ghana, Niger and co.

We all contributed to the mess in one way or the other!

We all contributed to the mess...... oga let start with you, how did you contribute to the mess

Why is this news. Every treasury bills, bonds, euro and dollar bonds are oversubscribed. So it is not a new thing. 17% interest is better than nothing. And if you check properly it's banks that are pouring money into government backed securities and lending less to public. That how they make hundreds of billions in profits

dvkot:
Them no dey use brain reason Ukraine matter just believe whatever nonsense you are told... From Russia is fighting with shovel to Russia is outproducing the entire west.

You forgot to include russia is using washing machine. Russia soldiers are training with sticks because guns have finished, russia soldiers are eating expired food

Are you really educated?
Borrowing is not bad if only they wouldn't loot it.
All nations of the world including USA,China borrow and still continue to borrow.

During the first term of Trump,national debt increased by approximately $7.8 trillion during his presidency, driven by tax cuts (e.g., TCJA 2017) and COVID-19 relief spending (e.g., CARES Act 2020).
Debt at start (2017): ~$19.9 trillion
Debt at end of his 4 years (2021): ~$27.7 trillion.
He borrowed a whole 7.8 trillion dollars in 4 years.

All of the entire Nigeria's total public debt is $94.23 billion
as of December 31, 2024.
Not even up to 100 billion dollars...mtcheww.




If only we have the capability of borrowing up to a trillion dollar even for the 8 years,Nigeria's growth will be exponential.
And that is if they don't loot it which I am sure Tinubu will never allow because of his desire to grow Nigeria economically.

And you will be the one to monitor if the money is not stolen abi. Continue blowing grammar

So much grammar that has no impact on ordinary Nigerians. Credit cult, blu economy bla bla bla

CoronaVirusPro:
No doubt, His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is on track to become the Greatest President the world has ever known.

He might not be moving at a fast pace, but he is strategically moving at lightening speed which is not visible to the naked eye. Strategically making bold moves where it matters.

Buhari is no longer the greatest president. What food cannot do doesn't exist

So nation news and tvc are alarmist. Akpabio and tajudeen are alarmist. What food cannot do, more food can

ediko5:
I keep asking:

Why is a state like Anambra state's VAT usually at middle position despite the presence of big companies there?

There is no trophy for paying tax for politicians to share

Tinubu has borrowed 10 trillion in first quarter of 2025. Debt to revenue is 131%. Propaganda doesn't grow a nation

That 320k is not based on 15 years but your rank. You can spend 20 years, yet you never reach that rank. To reach csp or dpo is not by years. Then when you retire, you will cry blood before you collect gratuity. You go waka, carry file and documents. Fellow police officers go oppression you on top processing your retirement benefits

JagabanBorgu:
Africans are so obsessed with exchange rate that they lose sight of important things, I have always been saying this since ages ago.
South Korea Won is about 1,300SKW to $1, the sharp difference between SK and Nigeria is economic growth, development etc.
I'm sure the average Ghanaian will dump Ghana and the cedis for SK and their won.
We should be more focused on development, economic growth, etc rather than talking and keep talking about exchange rates, we have been doing this talk for ages, is the currency getting better or getting worse?
If we have been focused on what I mentioned all the years we were focused on currency, we won't be here.


Meanwhile an average Ghanaian can't even afford 10K Ghc.

U don't care about exchange rate but budget is based on oil prices and dollar rate, customs duty is based on exchange rate, npa charges are exchange rate base, air fare, all import, gotv you name it

Summary those selling fake drugs went scot free.

70 year old man

You mean over 130 million poor Nigerians dey buy dollars with their phone and are operating tank farms. Don't blame you, shebi you stole 45 billion. Dat one count as hard work

Gbadebo19:
Kellogg has effectively confirmed that Russia has lost nearly 1 million people in the war against Ukraine.

In an interview, the Trump representative stated that total losses in the Russia-Ukraine war have already reached 1.2 million people, and this number exceeds U.S. losses in World War II.

According to Ukraine’s General Staff, Russia has already lost approximately 982,840 killed and wounded. Kellogg’s statement can be considered a direct confirmation of this figure at an official level from the United States. It’s worth noting that U.S. losses in World War II are officially estimated at 418,000 people.

And Ukraine has lost how many. According to selentsky Ukraine has lost 90k soldiers but Russia occupies mauripol, bahkmut, adivida, chavis yar, torestk, left bank of kharkov, now creating buffer zones in sumy, kharkiv, at door step of pokrosk. While Ukraine keeps abducting the unwilling

obedience4:
Take me back to the glory old "cold war" days, when the US had leaders not this social media merchant

The war in Ukraine is a perfect opportunity to weaken the already fallen bear, The entire US foreign policy should be focused on arming the Ukrainians to the teeth, Allow the war to drag on while Pilling up the sanctions, threatened China with tarrifs, keep Iran busy in the middle-east, Israel can do that, or simply sponsor a renewed Yemeni government assault on Houthis positions.
Conduct massive naval military drill with South korea, do a random nuclear capable bomber fly over in the south korea waters that will keep "Rocket man" ranting for months, The more the war drags on in Ukraine the Russian citizens will eventually become weary, they showed that during the early stages of the invasion, with the protests against conscription. the entire US military intelligence in Europe should be availed to the Ukrainians. The CIA "Special activities division" should be operating alongside the Ukrainians. Since Russia is tied down in Ukraine, Just as we have seen in Syria she doesn't have the ability to sustain herself on two fronts, What stopping the CIA from sowing seeds in Belarus??

The CIA knew that the Wagner boss was going to make a move on Moscow, they didn't do anything to fan the flame, this present crops of CIA are bunch of sissies.

Bro Trump ain't gonna do anything, George H. W. Bush would be turning in his grave seeing the missed opportunity to strengthen US hand in Europe.

If russia nukes Ukraine, nobody not even America will do Jack

Lamba. How can people under fire evacuation 15 bodies. Who was counting. Propaganda doesn't run a nation

21 billion dollars. Jesus na your hand we dey

The cherry picker

Up till this moment, Peter Obi has not responded to IMF debt clearance by Fg

Okay let's assume the IMF debt news is late, FG has just paid another $2bn debt to China and India just some days ago

Peter Obi is too petty to be a politician not to talk of being a president of any association

Rubbish. Obj paid 18 billion dollars without making noise. Left 43 billion dollars in reserve and 25 billion dollars in excess crude without making noise
