So far, the only classmate of Tinubu’s or better yet, his alma mater that we've heard of is a certain 13-year-old boy he claimed attended Chicago University with him. |
Are these not the same loans that Reno Omokri, the rabble-rouser, told us were merely approved by the Senate to be borrowed, but not necessarily borrowed by Tinubu and that he may not even borrow them to avoid plunging the country into needless debt? Nonsense and ingredients |
If Buhari who is far better than Tinubu in all ramifications, including integrity, competence, capacity, and overall governance can be described as a failure, then there is no adjective strong enough to describe the disaster Tinubu has become |
kedeojo:Imagine being so loyal to failure that you're angry a man is donating to schools. This is the same Edo governor who can't tell the difference between ₦1.5 million and ₦15 million, fumbling figures from his own budget now claiming he can control who enters the state? Please. Peter Obi doesn’t need clearance from anybody to visit any part of Nigeria. Freedom of movement is his constitutional right. If simple acts of compassion shake your camp this much, then it’s time to admit your so-called new language is just tired, old nonsense wrapped in deep insecurity. Cry harder. |
2mch:Are you not aware that this is a Tinubu regime
|
Not interested in deepening democracy, but rather in threatening the opposition with the EFCC, withholding statutory LGA allocations even after parroting so-called financial autonomy and declaring a state of emergency, Tinubu and the APC have become a threat to democracy. |
zero8zero:By signing MOU's |
Tinubu is obviously overwhelmed by the gargantuan mess he created in this nation. He has wrecked the country in less than two years, and now he is clearly haunted by it. |
Front0lane:Asking for accountability isn’t hate, it’s citizenship. If raising valid concerns about delayed payments to national heroes in this case the super falcons requires presidential intervention, then maybe the real issue is the system you’re defending, not the people questioning it. |
Those involved should explain to Nigerians why the Super Falcons' allowances were initially delayed to the point that it required the President's intervention. |
The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of marginalising northern Nigeria by concentrating the country’s resources in the South. Speaking at the Kano State Stakeholders’ Dialogue on the 2025 Constitutional Amendment, Kwankwaso recounted the hardship he experienced travelling from Abuja to Kano due to the deplorable state of federal roads. “Yesterday, I was to come by air. Unfortunately, my airline decided to shift our take-off from 3 to 8 p.m. I had to come by road. From Abuja to Kaduna to Kano was a hell — terrible, very bad road,” he said. “And this is a road that was started many years ago, right from the beginning of the leadership of the APC. Now we are told that there is a road now from the South to East.” While acknowledging the importance of infrastructure development across the country, Kwankwaso insisted on equity and fairness. “Let me say at this point that we support infrastructure anywhere in this country. In fact, I was telling myself that I wish that road was done before the 2023 election, because I was the only aspirant or candidate who travelled to all nooks and corners across this country. I would have used that road,” he said. “So, we support roads everywhere, and any other thing that is good for the people, especially for the masses. But a situation where government is taking our resources and dumping it in one part of the country, and other parts of the country are left just like that — I don’t believe that is the right thing to do by the government itself. And this is the time for the government to change, to convince our people that the government is not just on one side of the country.” On the constitutional amendment, Kwankwaso called on lawmakers from Kano State to form a united front in defence of the state’s interests. “We have seen what has happened in the past, and I think it’s important for you and all of us to consider the mistakes of others while we have an opportunity to do our jobs now,” he said. “I remember especially 1999 to 2003, and of course right through to this National Assembly. We have seen a situation where our members were given the opportunity to really represent their constituents, but unfortunately, on many occasions, they were compromised. “We have seen a situation whereby the rich in the country worked so hard to raise a lot of money to bribe members of the National Assembly, especially those who are representatives. And as a result of that, we now have a tilted arrangement in terms of resource sharing in the country. “Many people will think that they have won. I don’t believe so. Because I believe the issues that we have today in this country, especially in this part of the country, have to do with mismanagement of resources by leaders at the national level, state level, and even at the local government level. And of course, it has to do with the little that had to be given to those concerned.” He urged lawmakers to resist external influence and remain committed to the people. “Now we have an opportunity again, and we are very much aware that the rich once more is working so hard to take from the poor. Even though what is going to happen is a bipartisan arrangement, people representing us — whether in our party (NNPP) or any other party for that matter — must stand firm and do the right thing,” he said. In his remarks, Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf said the essence of the stakeholders’ dialogue was to enable the state to reach a common position that truly reflects the values and aspirations of its people. He said the dialogue was not only timely but also crucial and critical in amplifying the voices and realities of the people of Kano State. The event was attended by representatives from the National and State Assemblies, the Emirs of Kano, Gaya, and Karaye, top government officials, opinion leaders, and other critical stakeholders https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/07/kwankwaso-accuses-tinubu-led-govt-of-marginalising-north-in-resource-allocation/ |
OP, you forgot to add that it also gave us fake pastors and clergymen in borrowed robes.

Nice one When will Tinubu visit his alma mater? So far, the only 'classmate' we've heard of is a certain 13-year-old boy he claimed went to Chicago university with him. |
Thunder ⚡ Monday Okpebholo, who cannot even spell 'Tuesday', someone who was just rigged into office now has the effrontery to threaten a law-abiding citizen? He should rather channel his energy into fixing roads and improving the living standards of Edo citizens. |
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has declared that he will return to Edo, despite threats by the state governor, Monday Okpebholo.https://dailypost.ng/2025/07/24/i-will-come-to-edo-again-peter-obi-dismisses-okpebholos-threat/

blamingthedevil:Instead of supporting a notorious bullion vans D-lord

AyeMoJuba:How is this hate? Didn't Tinubu say, 'Grab it, snatch it, and run away with it'? |
NgeneUkwenu:This won't change the fact that Tinubu and the APC are heading for a heavy defeat come 2027. Nigerians won't want to endure another four years of this wicked and draconian regime, whose calamitous policies masquerading as economic reforms have eroded the entire middle class and pushed the majority of Nigerians into extreme poverty, inflicting untold hardship, strife, hunger, and starvation. |
Look at how a one woman is exposing the dictatorship of the Tinubu regime and its rubber-stamp Senate to the entire world |
Lithiumite:You speak like hardship is always self-inflicted, like people simply choose suffering the way elites choose designer fabrics. If your idea of wisdom is telling people to smile through policy-induced pain, you’re not preaching resilience, you’re endorsing injustice. You say “seek help,” but when the system keeps failing the majority, who do they seek it from? The same leaders who promised relief but delivered record inflation? Listen, poverty isn’t always a mindset; sometimes it’s the direct result of leadership choices, corruption, and elite indifference dressed up as tough love. If people are angry, it’s not unbridled self-righteous hate as you described it, it’s righteous frustration. Leadership should ease suffering, not philosophize it away. You call it self-pity; I call it awareness. Maybe when you stop mistaking privilege for moral superiority, you’ll see the difference too. |
The police just took Tinubu's advice very literally: 'Grab it, snatch it, and run away with it |

The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has again told the Federal Government to move from what it called ‘statistical celebration’ to strategic economic transformation. The body acknowledged the recent release of Nigeria’s rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures and the Q1 2025 economic growth data. “With a real growth rate of 3.13% and nominal GDP now recorded at ₦372.82 trillion, this development offers a more comprehensive and contemporary reflection of the Nigerian economy, capturing vibrant informal activities, tech-driven enterprises, and service-oriented sectors that were previously under the radar,” LCCI President, Gabriel Idahosa, said while addressing newsmen on the state of the economy. According to him, the rebasing from the 2010 to 2019 base year brings Nigeria closer to global statistical standards and reveals a more diversified economy, where real estate, trade, telecoms, and crop production now dominate, while oil’s share continues to decline. Idahosa, however, said behind the ‘optimistic figures’ lies the nation’s reality. He said economic conditions have put a large portion of the population into poverty, with inflationary pressures weakening purchasing power as well as rising cost of living. The LCCI President said inflation remains unrelenting, especially in the food segment, describing it as an “alarming indicator in a country where most household expenditure is food-related.” He said, “The naira’s depreciation, now hovering above ₦1,530/$, has severely diminished real incomes, while energy costs, from petrol and diesel to cooking gas, remain painfully high. These pressures affect both households and businesses, worsening inequality and making daily survival a struggle for many.” This, he said, is a call to action. “The government must move from statistical celebration to strategic economic transformation,” he added. He told the government that stabilizing the naira must be a top priority, as it requires “restoring FX confidence, boosting non-oil exports, and supporting domestic production.” The LCCI President said food security must be urgently addressed through input subsidies, storage systems, and improved logistics to combat inflation and hunger. “The government must intensify efforts to empower MSMEs and the informal sector through access to finance, aggressive operationalization of the 2025 Nigerian Tax Reform Act, and deployment of digital tools. “We need targeted job creation programmes, especially in agriculture, construction, and technology, backed by aggressive skills development. “Restore citizens’ confidence through transparency, social protection, and visible policy implementation,” he said. https://dailytrust.com/gdp-move-beyond-statistical-celebrations-lcci-tells-fg/ |
Validated:Absolutely |
Lithiumite:The classic defense of a typical tribál and ethnîc bîgót póvérty-stricken Agbadóos 'If you’re suffering, it’s because you’re not wise or rich enough.' That’s not logic it’s elitist nonsense. No one voted for reforms that made food a luxury. If this is the ‘uhuru’ your wisdom predicted, your bar for progress is ‘suffer, adapt, and say thank you.’ We’re not fools for expecting leadership to ease burdens not multiply them |
TemplarLandry:Denying reality won’t make the cost of living magically drop. Nobody’s ‘celebrating’ bad news, Nigerians are tired, hungry, and suffering, while sycophants like you defend failure like it’s a paid gig. If ₦27k for a pot of Jollof sounds like fiction to you, congratulations. you’re either disconnected from the masses or comfortably complicit. Either way, we’re all living the consequences |
Lithiumite:Typical deflection when cornered with the failure of Tinubu’s regime, you retreat into false equivalence. This isn't about who comes next; it's about the undeniable wreckage this administration has caused. Nigerians are hungry, angry, and tired not because of Atiku, Obi, or El-Rufai, but because of Tinubu’s disastrous,calamitous policies mascurading as economic reforms |
EvilMerodack:If Tinubu has superpowers, it’s clearly the power to recycle desperation into loyalty. The real joke is blaming ‘my people’ for being bought, when it's the same people your camp eagerly courts and buys to rubber-stamp a failed agenda and stand on a dilápidatéd mandate. |
This is obviously APC Ohaneze faction ably led by Okechukwu Isiguzoro |
Putindbutt:Pity yourself |
Putindbutt:Putindbutt, your usual cherry-picking of stats can’t distract from real-life hardship. People are hungry, jobless, and crushed by inflation but you’re quoting stock market gains like it pays their bills. Subsidy’s gone with no safety nets, transport costs are insane, the naira is in freefall, insecurity is rising but sure, keep gaslighting with SEDC or SEIC which is purely cosmetics tokenism and trade surplus that doesn’t translate to cheaper imports or improved local production. Criticism isn’t treason, and calling out failure doesn’t make someone IPOB. Nigerians don’t feel your stats or cooked, rebased GDP, they feel hunger. |
