Christlike01:Easy, man. Take a chill pill. It's her birthday. It wouldn't hurt to just say "Happy Birthday" and move on. |
We already know those responsible for spreading lies, falsehoods, and propaganda, they are the Agbadóos, supporters of this calâmitous, identity-thîéving, certificate-fórging regime. Their stock-in-trade? Lies, spin, and a bottomless well of propaganda |
This questionable and dubious attempt to involve the entirety of Southern Nigeria in Tinubu's ‘Emilokan’-driven personal ambition encapsulated by the mantra ‘snatch it, grab it, and run with it’ is dead on arrival. This is the same individual who, along with his allies, undermined the South’s opportunity for an unbroken eight-year tenure in 2015 during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Today, Nigerians, karma, the natural order, and the consequences of poor governance appear to have aligned to ensure that his disastrous tenure comes to an end on May 29, 2027 |
Lithiumite:The usual 'you don’t understand economics' excuse again, A usual classic deflection for you supporters of this calamitous Tinubu regime. But let’s look at it You mentioned Exchange Rate “Unification”, A Half-Truth at Best: You claim the dual exchange rate was business for the rich and connected people and the unification was the fix. Fine. But unifying at the expense of economic stability and letting the naira free-fall from ₦460 to nearly ₦2000 (now still hovering over ₦1500) isn’t reform. A serious government doesn’t just stop defending the naira without building shock absorbers for example, a robust FX reserves, increased exports, FDI confidence, industrial cápacity. Instead, they pulled the plug and walked away, then act surprised the patient’s in a coma. Removing subsidies without functional refineries especially waiting for dangote refinery to come up, mass transit, or any social safety net is not bold reform, it’s reckless abandonment. You don’t throw people off a moving bus and call it restructuring. And let’s be honest, the “savings” from subsidy removal? Swallowed by corruption and waste. No tangible reinvestment in health, infrastructure, or education to show for it. Where’s the benefit? Saying “inflation slowed” while prices are still climbing and incomes are stagnant is like congratulating a thief for stealing slightly less today than yesterday. Nigerians are not seeing “less inflation,” they’re seeing less food, less fuel, less hope. Reality check: no one eats economic theory. That surplus you’re bragging about? Driven mostly by reduced imports because people are too broke to buy anything, not because exports suddenly took off. Manufacturing is on life support, SMEs are suffocating, and the cost of doing business is unbearable. A surplus caused by demand collapse isn’t progress, it’s a red flag. You asked, “How will you raise revenue?” That’s a great question, I think you should ask Tinubu’s team. Because so far, the answer seems to be: tax the poor more while offering nothing in return. The minimum increase is nothing to write home about, No job creation. Just more suffering. And the so-called reforms? They’re crushing the same people they claim to help. Listen, Stabilization is not Success. Yes, the economy has stopped collapsing as fast. That’s not stabilization, it’s a pause between beatings. The average Nigerian doesn’t need a Bloomberg graph to know they’re poorer, hungrier, and angrier than they were before Tinubu grab and snatch it You can dress it up however you like. But this isn’t bold reform. It’s economic brutality masquerading as policy. The only thing that’s truly “unified” under this administration is Suffering. |

Kemetian:You don’t need to tell lies or twist facts to push a narrative. Peter Obi did say he would remove the subsidy but he also made it clear it would be done in phases, with proper planning and cushioning measures to protect vulnerable Nigerians. That’s a world apart from Tinubu’s haphazard, overnight removal with zero strategy, which sent the economy into a tailspin and deepened mass poverty. What’s happening now isn’t reform it’s reckless economic vandalism disguised as policy. if Peter Obi had implemented anything this chaotic, you'd be screaming bloody murder by now. But because it's your dlórd doing the damage, suddenly it’s patriotism. And throwing around the "tribalism" card whenever people criticize bad leadership is lazy, weak, and frankly, insulting. Not everyone is blinded by ethnic bîgótry. Some of us are just tired of watching this country get dragged through the mud while people like you cheer this disaster. Focus on facts, not fiction. Patriotism isn’t defending failure, it’s demanding better. |
Lithiumite:It’s hilarious how you’re twisting disaster into progress. Tinubu took over with the naira officially at N460 to the dollar and under his watch, it crashed to nearly N2000. Now you’re celebrating that it's hovering at over N1500 like that’s some kind of economic miracle? That’s like burning down your house and bragging because the ashes cooled off. Inflation slowing doesn’t mean prices are coming down it just means they're increasing a bit less rapidly than before. Nigerians aren’t buying propaganda; they’re buying fewer goods at triple the price, that's if they can afford them at all. Foreign reserves growing? On borrowed money. Debt servicing dropped? Because debt has exploded so do the math. You can package failure using propaganda, but the average Nigerian doesn’t need anybody to tell them they’re poorer than they were when Tinubu took over. It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind. The only thing stabilizing is the suffering. |
Lithiumite:If what you call progress is a currency in freefall, inflation breaking records, businesses shutting down, and millions sliding into deeper poverty then it says more about your standards than it does about the state of the country. |
Bluntemperor:First of all, criticism is not hate, it's accountability. When policies fail, people suffer, and they have every right to speak up, regardless of who is in power. Tinubu grabbed, snatched the job. Now he has it. And Nigeria is worse off. The truth is that the economy is in freefall. Inflation is eating people alive. The naira has lost over 60% of its value. Fuel prices have tripled. Food is now a luxury. But somehow, your defense is Emiefele did worse? That’s not an argument that’s an excuse. Nigerians have proffered solutions, Economists, civil societies, and even some of Tinubu’s own former allies have proposed clear alternatives: phased subsidy reform, FX unification with proper timing, targeted social safety nets, and aggressive anti-corruption enforcement all ignored. Instead, what we got was shock therapy without shock absorbers. And please, stop the obsession with Obi. People are criticizing Tinubu because he’s the one in charge not because their candidate lost. That’s democracy. If performance can't be questioned, then what you’re defending isn't a democracy; it’s a dictatorship of mediocrity. Finally, shouting 'go and rest' doesn’t change the fact that millions of Nigerians are now forced to rest in hunger every night because of failed policies. If that doesn’t bother you, then maybe you need to reflect, not rant. |
Softmirror:Stable economy? With skyrocketing inflation, a crashing naira, skyrocketing food prices, and businesses dying daily? The only thing growing is suffering. Stop insulting Nigerians with propaganda. There’s no 'next focus' when your so-called reforms have already wrecked the foundation of the country. |
Cherrybae:So your defense of Wike’s political shamelessness is to drag Peter Obi into the mud with him? That’s weak. Yes, Obi left APGA after serving two full terms and delivering one of the most competent and transparent administrations Anambra has ever seen. He didn’t jump ship mid-office, and he didn’t leave to chase contracts or curry favour or work for a certain idéntity thiéf, certificate fórgér and dlórd, all in one. He joined PDP to pursue a national ambition a legitimate, issue-based move not to lick the boots of those he once called out. Wike, on the other hand, called APC a cancer not metaphorically, but stage four cancer. Today, he’s not just associating with that same party and working for the dlôrd, he’s doing their dirty work while pretending to still be in PDP. That’s not strategy. That’s grubby, self-serving opportunism. You say Wike is politically ahead? Sure if betrayal, noise-making, and shameless loyalty-for-hire are your standards for success. Obi has what Wike will never have: genuine public trust, credibility, and a movement built on ideas, not thuggery, agberoism or rigged structures. Obi built a nationwide political force from scratch without buying loyalty. No bullion vans. No thugs. No rented crowds. Just Nigerians tired of recycled failure. That’s not noise that’s a political awakening, and it terrifies the status quo. As for 2027, time will tell. But if your best hope is that the noise fades, then deep down, you already know Obi is a threat not because of propaganda, but because he represents something your political dlórds and drûñkàrds never will: integrity. |
Peterobiisathie:It’s obvious no former Anambra governor comes close to Peter Obi’s record. But instead of admitting that, you chose to deflect, digging up unrelated threads and photos to mislead your co-travelers. Unfortunately for you, that tactic doesn’t work on me or any right thinking nlder |
Tinubu’s version of economic reform is nothing short of economic sabotage. The Nigerian economy isn’t just growing in reverse, it’s in freefall, thanks to reckless, poorly thought-out policies that have plunged millions into unprecedented suffering. At this rate, it won’t just take decades to fix the mess, it’ll take a national miracle to recover from the damage this one man is inflicting on an already struggling country. |
Peterobiisathie:Absolutely, name any former Anambra governor who performed better than him |
Softmirror:Doing what exactly |
Brenbentondiaz:The irony in your response is truly rich. You're here defending a man who famously said APC had stage four cancer, yet today he’s not only dining with the same people he condemned but doing so while pretending to still wear PDP colors. That’s not politics, it’s opportunism with zero shame. And then you pivot to Obi, as if deflecting from Wike’s political gymnastics somehow erases Tinubu’s own contradictions. Let’s be clear: I don’t see politicians as messiahs, that’s your lane, not mine. If Tinubu, a dlórd and Wike a drûnkárd are your idea of saviors and messiahs that’s your business. But don’t project that messiah complex onto others simply because I support someone whose record shows better competence, capacity, and compassion than your dlórd. Yes, Obi left APGA after 8 years of delivering results. He didn’t switch sides while he was still governor or for contracts, relevance, or desperation. He joined a party and built a movement from scratch, not by selling out to the same "structure of criminality" he condemned, but by proving you can run a campaign on integrity and issue-based politics. That's the difference And note that there’s a difference between shifting for vision and shifting for survival. Learn the difference before you talk about logic because right now, you’re just exposing how low the bar has fallen. |
Softmirror:so let me get this straight, softmirror. Tinubu, the same man who once loudly questioned the idea of “One Nigeria” when it suited his political ambition, is now suddenly being held back by "respect" for Azikiwe and Ironsi? That’s a reach even for a loyal tribálist like you. 😂 Listen, what’s really holding him back is power. Tinubu didn't fight, grab, snatch his way to Aso Rock to break the same system that gave him the presidency. Secession is no longer profitable to him, he is now the system. As for this imaginary “systematic secession from Lagos,” that’s just typical delusion. Lagos is still feeding the federal structure, still bound by the constitution, and still a part of Nigeria. Or are you now calling marginal infrastructural upgrades “secession”? You can't scream One Nigeria when it benefits your own, and then gaslight others when they demand equity or self-determination. If Tinubu really believed in Yoruba Nation, he’d act but he doesn’t. Today, He believes in Tinubu Nation. You softmirror, other Agbadoos are not part of it. Big difference. |
Softmirror:With a Yoruba president in office today, what is stopping him, the current Yoruba elites, and coupled with the ongoing Yoruba Nation agitators from pushing for secession from Nigeria? Let’s not forget,Tinubu himself once said he doesn’t believe in 'One Nigeria.' So, what exactly is holding him back now?

chrisxxx:This is a man who publicly swore never to join the APC or have anything to with it, famously describing it as a party 'inflicted with stage four cancer.' Today, not only is he fraternizing with the same party, shamelessly working for a dlórd and doing so while still claiming that he is still a member of the PDP, which is a clear case of political convenience over principle. If loyalty and integrity have become so cheap that they can be traded between parties like market goods, then it’s no wonder governance is adrift. What we’re witnessing isn’t strategy; it’s opportunism plain, shameless, and deeply corrosive to our democracy. |
With due respect to Gbajabiamila, asserting that President Tinubu removed fuel subsidy 'without thinking of the next election' is not a mark of bold leadership, but rather an admission of governance without strategic foresight. Sound policy decisions should be grounded in long-term socioeconomic planning, not impulsive gestures meant to signal political detachment. Leadership is not defined by indifference to electoral consequences, but by the capacity to anticipate, mitigate, and manage the impact of reforms on the lives of ordinary citizens. If the suffering of the people is the cost of such 'unthinking' bravery, then it calls into question not just the decision, but the decision-making process itself. |
tunjijones:He’s got absolutely nothing to lose if he decides to fights back come 2027. Nothing. |
Tinubu, wike and their co travelers should spare us this nonsense. Restoring democracy in Rivers isn’t an achievement when it was deliberately undermined in the first place. |
Vision101:Meeting obligations at the cost of economic collapse isn't an achievement, it's a warning sign. Nobody is saying defaulting is the solution, but piling on more debt just to service old debt is not fiscal discipline, it’s economic suicide. You don’t clap for a captain who says we avoided sinking while drilling holes in the ship. If revenue is collapsing and all you’re doing is borrowing more to stay afloat, that's not managing an economy, it's kicking the can down the road and hoping the next generation pays the price. Nigeria doesn’t need blind loyalty or applause for survival tactics, we need a real recovery plan, fiscal responsibility, and leadership with foresight. Not more propaganda to excuse economic mismanagement. |
Hahahahahhaahahahahahhahahhahahhahhahaha! |
obonujoker:Their hypocrisy is legendary. |
Slytiger:Like Soludo's son, like Peter Obi's son, like Tinubu's daughter.
|
How do you overspend by ₦2.74 trillion just on debt service in nine months, yet still earn far less than projected? Tinubu's regime isn't managing an economy, it's digging Nigeria into a deeper debt hole with no plan for recovery. Obviously,you can't ‘renew hope’ when you're mortgaging the country's future to pay yesterday's bills. This isn't fiscal policy, it's economic catastrophe |
Tinubu's popularity has been controversially compared to that of the dé.vil, who is known in religious texts for actions such as kî.lling, stéá.ling, and destroying |
