jamafa:A Chief Security Officer who cannot directly give orders to the Commissioner of Police, how much of a Chief Security Officer is he? On security matters, the buck stops at the President's table. Ironically, Tinubu himself made that argument against Goodluck Jonathan. The same standard should apply today. |
Actually Some Tinubu supporters argue that every southern presidential candidates Peter Obi, Goodluck Jonathan, Seyi Makinde, Sandy Onoh, and others, is ultimately working for Tinubu to reduce and split the southern votes |
Have they been able to pay 70k minimum wage |
They didn't just loot the money saved from subsidy removal; they borrowed more money and looted that too. |
SuperEagles:So your argument is that because people voted a certain way in previous elections, they're no longer allowed to complain about hardship, insecurity, kidnappings, and loss of lives today? Elections are not lifetime immunity from criticism. The real question is: are Nigerians better off now than they were before? If your answer is yes, make that case. If not, then attacking people's intelligence won't change the reality they're living through. |
FSBoperator:The Kwankwasiyya movement suddenly belongs to Governor Abba Gida and not Kwankwaso, its founder? Interesting. At this point, you're arguing yourself into circles. You've completely lost focus and your points are becoming incoherent |
FSBoperator:You have jumped to Kano From Oyo to Kano , jumping like an antelope Who will get the majority of votes in Kano? |
Tjra:Like I stated, Tinubu will be surprised at the number of his supporters with no sense
|
FSBoperator:And Tinubu will get the remaining 98% of Oyo's votes because he is supposedly the best Nigerian president ever, despite the widespread hardship, rising insecurity, loss of lives, deaths and the kidnapping and killing of schoolchildren and teachers under his watch. |
Tjra:Apparently, every presidential candidate is working for Tinubu. At this point, even Tinubu must be surprised by the size of his supporters with no sense |
It's the southern turn Let the game begin |
seunmsg:seunmsg, channel this energy into telling Nigerians what Tinubu has done to deserve another four years. Explain why he should seek re-election after presiding over unprecedented hardship and the deaths Explain why he deserves another term after failing to provide the constant electricity he promised. Remember, he suggested that Nigerians should not vote for him again if he failed to provide constant electricity by all means necessary. As for the PDP and whoever chooses to contest under its platform, even in absentia, leave them alone. It's none of your business. |
One of the most accurate statements in politics is that voting has consequences. Yet, whenever it is mentioned in discussions about the current administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, some people react as though they have been personally attacked. Of course, the reason is obvious. The phrase becomes uncomfortable when placed alongside today's realities: economic hardship, persistent insecurity that continues to claim lives, the kidnappings, killings, maiming, deaths, crushing inflation, naira collapse, skyrocketing food prices, a cost-of-living crisis, worsening poverty, business closures and collapse and recurring electricity blackouts that have become the hallmark of the Tinubu regime. During the elections, supporters proudly claimed victory and insisted their candidate was the best choice. A Master strategist. They mocked those who lost, called them bitter losers, boasted that political lessons would be taught, and celebrated as though they had personally delivered Nigeria's salvation. But when the consequences of the very policies they supported are criticized, accountability suddenly becomes offensive. Nobody is saying voters deserve hardship. The point is that political choices have real-world consequences. If you proudly claimed ownership of the victory, don't be surprised when people connect the outcome to the decision that produced it. Perhaps what angers some people is not the statement itself, but the uncomfortable reminder that the Nigeria many are complaining about today is, in part, the result of the political choices they passionately defended yesterday. Voting has consequences. The Tinubu government is simply a live demonstration of that fact. |
yarimo:Yarimo Don't take it literally |
madridguy:What do you mean by no one should cry when the return leg starts? Are you crying now... asking for a friend |
Tjra:why are you asking me to swear? You should be the one swearing that you didn't know Yvonne Jegede before today. After all, it's only after she criticized Tinubu and his hoardes of supporters of which you are one that your memory conveniently developed network issues. Honestly, your hypocrisy is working overtime, but at least try to make it less obvious. |
Tjra:Funny how the moment she criticized Tinubu and his hoardes of supporters, she became "Who is she?" and "I've never heard of her." Suddenly, you now know only Yvonne Nelson, the Ghanaian If she had praised Tinubu and called his policies the greatest invention since sliced bread, you would be introducing her as an award-winning, A-list actress and national treasure. The hypocrisy is so loud Thunder 🔥⚡🔥 you there |
Bluna:You want her to go and square up against Okpebholo, Oshiomhole, and the APC's hyenas and tigers in Edo State during the main election? Oga, sometimes you have to pick your battles where you at least stand a chance of surviving. In Abuja, she has a fighting chance. In Edo State, the APC would devour her You think say na social media grandstanding |

He is a master strategist Who built Lagos from scratch and tamed the Atlantic ocean..... |
The Presidency has tackled the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, following his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration regarding the proposed implementation of state police. The presidency’s response was contained in a statement on Friday by the President’s Special Adviser on Social Media, Dada Olusegun. Recall that on Thursday Governor Seyi Makinde urged the federal government to stop deceiving Nigerians over the creation of state police. He insisted that state governments already possess the power to establish their own policing structures through local legislation. Governor Makinde made the assertions during the governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives, and House of Assembly primaries of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) held at the Watershed Celebration Centre in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Addressing party members and delegates at the event, the governor reflected on the establishment of the Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Amotekun, across the South-west, describing the outfit as a fallback option after initial efforts to establish state police failed. According to him, the regional security outfit was created by South-west states through laws passed by their respective Houses of Assembly—a legislative process he argued could also be adopted for establishing full state police. “Some people will know insecurity was one of the major pillars of this administration when we established Omitutun phase one and phase two, and it will remain a major pillar. Before this government’s emergence, there was nothing like Amotekun in Oyo State. We wanted state police. It was because we couldn’t get the state police that we established Amotekun as a stopgap. They should stop wasting Nigerians’ time,” Governor Makinde stated. “We know how we established Amotekun. The Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly is here. We passed a common law in the whole of the Southwest. The whole Houses of Assembly in all states in the Southwest passed the law, and that led to the creation of Amotekun. “The only state that didn’t create Amotekun is Lagos State, and we know it is because their boss didn’t want Amotekun,” he said. Replying via a post on his X handle, presidential aide Dada Olusegun accused Governor Makinde of using the federal government as a scapegoat to deflect from the rising insecurity and underfunding plaguing his own state. He said: Gov. Seyi Makinde’s recent outburst accusing President Tinubu of “wasting time” on State Police and claiming Lagos boycotted Amotekun for political points is just a masterclass in deflection. When a Governor is grappling with rising insecurity in his own state, the instinct to scapegoat the center is predictable.Presidential candidate profiles Makinde claims Lagos ignored Amotekun to appease PBAT is entirely False with the President being the one of the voices that clamoured for a local security network to aid the federal efforts on Security. Makinde praises Amotekun as his glorious “stop-gap,” yet the reality in Oyo is tragic underfunding. While Lagos mobilizes billions for the welfare and resources of all security apparatus in Lagos state, Oyo sends brave Amotekun operatives into forests with pump-action rifles to fight AK-47-wielding syndicates. Press conferences don’t buy ballistic vests. If Gov. Makinde cannot adequately finance, equip, and manage his own regional vigilante group, how does he plan to shoulder the colossal financial burden of a full-fledged State Police? State policing requires forensic labs, armories, pensions, and unassailable funding, not just loud rhetoric.Nigeria travel guide President Tinubu understands that constitutional security reform requires meticulous legality and rigid economic frameworks, not rushed politics to distract from local failures. Before lecturing the architect of Nigeria’s most successful security funding model, Gov. Makinde owes the people of Oyo State a duty of care. Elevate Amotekun from a poorly funded political prop into a tactically superior force. Until then, the lectures remain hollow. Fix Oyo first!!! |
Brain dead is an understatement. There’s no adjective despicable enough to describe that 70-year-old domestic servant. |
Richtaiwo:While the NADECO wannabe, the grab it snatch it and run away with it..Tinubu and APC, with its baba sope political patronage machine fused with drug-cartel mentality, should be the ones closest to democracy, right? Thunder ⚡🔥 fire you there. |
seunmsg:Who are the people behind the insecurity ravaging the South West, especially the kidnappings of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo state that escalated immediately after Makinde declared his intention to run for president under a Turaki led PDP–APM alliance? |
It's the only legacy of the master strategist |
Image123:It's obvious now that you were never interested in engaging intelligently, that’s why you dragged in Wike and how he dealt with IPOB just to score cheap points. You even exposed you intent further by equating that to the existential security threat facing the entire South West today, where armed militias roam freely, killing, maiming, kidnapping schoolchildren and teachers, and even carrying out beheadings. You are dishonest and deliberately divisive. Infact, it's the usual bile, ethnic and tribal bigotry masquerading as an argument. And if Lagos already had an effective security structure through neighbourhood watch, then why was Tinubu advising other south west states to create Amotekun instead of replicating the same Lagos model the entire south west? That contradiction is exactly why many people agree with Makinde that politics was involved. Have you also suddenly forgotten Tinubu's famous statement, 'where are the cows?' You can’t simultaneously argue that insecurity was serious enough to justify Amotekun across the South West, then pretend Lagos was somehow exempt from the same regional threat. |
guass:According to Tinubu supporters, Wike na god |
Image123:If he made the suggestion, why is there no Amotekun in Lagos? Is Lagos not facing the same insecurity challenges as other states in the region? This confirms what Makinde said, that it was all politics and an attempt to deceive Nigerians |
Today, his heart no longer aches for the schoolchildren and teachers abducted in Oyo Thunder 🔥⚡🔥⚡ him there |
FSBoperator:Were you expecting them to join APC a ‘baba sope’ patronage machine running on godfather politics and drug cartel mentality? Young Nigerians are clearly looking elsewhere. NDC ✌️ |
Kemetian:Are you in any of security agencies fighting the insurgents |
