DomPerignon:
This Direct primaries going on is by far the best amendment to be made on our existing electoral law as it not only entrenches grassroot participation in party selection process but most importantly it puts contestants and the successful candidate to come down to the level of those who ensured they got on the ballot .

That said, Obi who has a deep phobia for primaries should not be scared any longer as he can now get his phantom organic followers to vote him a ticket.

But knowing Obi has no real national spread besides his SE, this will be an upheaval task as he will need to win the primaries in majority states of the federation.

The only solace Obi has is that NDC is a mushroom party with very negligible registered party members outside the Obidient and Kwankwassai cults and that the few registered card carrying members are mostly Ibos outside the SE and spread across Nigeria .

So with this Obi might get the party ticket but all this changes if Kwankwasso decides to contest and that is where he can dust obi across the north.

beside you need this one packet to be alright this weekend

Come and tell us that Tinubu killed the terrorist before and he reappeared for Trump to kill again.

J

I don't like when you don't include former chairman agbero union nairaland branch helinues and the newly recruited agbero burob on your list .that's not fair na

the toughest job on this planet should be to be employed by satan just to tell lies. If not that the American is involved in this one. Shabi na this country gets repented book haram members. other countries send terrorists to heaven it gets to Nigerian turn na repentant terrorist we get

Princedapace:
I was battling with network issues recently, and it reminded me how difficult it has become to survive here. There is no stable electricity. Most of us survive on generators.

South Africa achieved significant progress in electricity within two years, yet after four years, nothing meaningful has changed here. It is still the same story and the same daily struggle.

Now, remove emotions for a moment and look at the reality:

A kilogram of gas is about ₦1,400. That is extremely high for a country with very low salaries.
A crate of eggs is between ₦5,500 and ₦6,000.
A bag of cement is around ₦12,000. This is one of the reasons house rent has skyrocketed, because many citizens can no longer afford to build homes.
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in most state capitals now starts from about ₦2.5 million and above. That is insane for a country where the majority of citizens are struggling financially.
Fuel is around ₦1,400 per litre.

Fuel powers our generators. If you run two businesses, you may need two generators.

For someone like me who works online, I need electricity almost 24/7. A huge part of my income goes into fueling and servicing generators because, most nights, my generator runs till morning. I work with clients across different time zones, sometimes at 2AM.

What does all of this mean?

Our purchasing power has dropped drastically.

Yet, despite these realities, the tax burden keeps increasing.

I honestly want to ask: does the government truly understand what Nigerians are going through?

Even someone earning ₦25m–₦30m yearly in today’s Nigeria is not necessarily living comfortably. A large percentage of that income already goes into solving basic social problems and surviving.

You pay for:

Electricity
Security
Healthcare
Transportation
Water
Education

Everything.

So where exactly is the money left to pay huge taxes from?

How many Nigerians can genuinely save millions yearly after handling all their responsibilities as parents, children, and providers?

To survive, many people are already being forced to reduce their quality of life:

Cutting down electricity usage despite terrible heat
Moving children from good schools
Switching from bottled water to sachet water
Selling better cars for cheaper alternatives because of fuel costs
Cancelling vacations and basic comfort

The painful part is that many self-employed Nigerians hustle endlessly just to stay afloat, yet at the end of the year, they are still expected to pay heavy taxes.

One of my friends, despite earning what many would call “good money,” is already in debt because of school fees and living expenses. Yet, government expectations are based only on income figures, not the harsh realities behind those figures.

And remember, this is a country where many parents depend on their children financially just to survive.

Honestly, many leaders cannot relate to what ordinary Nigerians are facing because:

Their electricity is sorted
Their security is sorted
Their healthcare is sorted
Their feeding is sorted

So they may never truly feel the pain of the average citizen.

Dear Nigerian leaders, Nigerians are suffering.

We are exhausted.

What could be done differently?

Reduce excessive tax burdens. Maybe 3 percent for now. Please, this country is poor or increase the threshold to maybe 50m per year if you truly wants to target the rich for income tax.
Fix electricity.
Tackle corruption seriously.
Improve security so farmers can return to farms safely.
Support the tech economy so more young people can earn online.
Invest in skills and digital opportunities.
Cut down excessive government spending and luxury packages for politicians.

Nigeria is a poor country with multidimensional poverty. In many homes, one working person carries the burden of an entire extended family.

Tax should not be the first priority when citizens are already struggling to survive.

As I write this now, my area is in complete darkness again. Families will spend heavily on fuel tonight just to have light for a few hours.

So I ask again: after paying for survival, where exactly should the tax money come from?

We are tired.

The bills are too much.

please can someone push this to front page?

I want to understand why the sacrfice must be done by the suffering masses instead of the politicians. I am curios to know why. Why must I suffer what I didn't cause?

he will gift you 38 bullion vans, yarimo and helinues come and assure this guy

madridguy:
Congratulations to him.

you will retain your postion as agbero union secretary nairaland branch

TimeManager:
This Peter Obi is a first class dullard, a third class container trader. President Tinubu has always been travelling with a few top Nigerian CEOs to facilitate investment opportunities.
Ironically, this same man and his noisy supporters would still complain if Tinubu travels with a large entourage as Trump did. Yet he is commending Trump who visited China in company of 20 of his oligarch friends which is purely self serving, having nothing to do with the overall interests of America.


-Kiss the truth!

the CEO bullion vans manufacturing company has really expanded his business across nations, Nigeria will enjoy more in 2027 because every house hold will have at least 5 bullion vans to themselves.you need this like 8 this weekend

Jakpon:
Criticism is not bad but if one will be critical, at least do it sense. It is apparent that obidient and their tin god, pit obi, the Agulu Fraudster, lacks it.

The President went with the richest man in Africa(Dangote) and the second richest man in Africa(Abdulsamad Rabiu) both Nigerians. Tony Elumelu was there, Jim Ovia went with them, Femi Otedola was not left out.

The President promoted brand Nigeria excellently. International business deals were clinched. Foreign direct investments were secured. Obi & his Halleluyah boys did not see all these

he prophecied that this will happen to you in the future way back , today you have fulfilled that prophecy

TimeManager:
Elrufai 's family using the same playbook of Nnamdi Kanu's family

-Kiss the truth!

satan has a way of punishing his servant that rebel against him .that's the truth

Mitsurugi:
omenka has not been the same since he staggered back to Nairaland. Something is loose somewhere

oh I see,omenka please get this thing they took from you back

omenka:
It's shocking to see Obidients who claim they want the best for the country, and know what's best for the country, overtly express their anger over the elimination of a global terrorist!!

Suddenly, Trump, whom just yesterday was a hero they looked up to, has become an arch enemy. They've found corn and barrels of oil in his pocket, and need video evidence to believe what he's said.

The day anyone these people support becomes the president of this country, is renounce my citizenship.

God bless Nigeria and protect her from all enemies within and without. Amen.

it's finished,like wtf is this .heart attack is real ooh so na obidient be your problem and not the agbero chairman Una smuggled into aso rock that have messed up the country.BP drugs are very costly now take it easy ooh . agbero chairman no send you ooh.how many do you need this to be ok

PDPdestroyer:
A very sad day for Obidients and proponents of “Christian genocide” in Nigeria. Their god, daddy Trump seems to have discovered the truth, switched tents and is now firmly on the side of the government and the good people of Nigeria

you have fulfilled destiny

Parachoko:
Who's your candidate in the 2027 Presidential Election?

CEO bullion vans manufacturing company

Peter obi is not coming to refill bullion vans like the other criminal from Lagos state that emptied his bullion vans, snatched, grabbed and ran away with power.dont vote any of the twin brothers again.stop voting them to asorock as a retirement package

Richtaiwo:
Meanwhile, those people are still waiting for Trump to storm Aso Rock, remove Tinubu from office, and replace him with this mentally challenged human being from agulu.

no one should get angry at you.something went wrong with your B

abc115:
The summary of Trump’s post today is "Nigeria is no longer a Disgraced Country

because your creator Agbero chairman gave you 54 bullion vans

Parachoko:
On Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Mandate I Stand Gidigba

waooh you even acknowledged the brewery but your creator achievement was a bullion vans manufacturing company.how many billion vans do you have now

PulaPower:

This time around, we shall try Efik, Ibiobio, Idoma, Egbira, Esan, Tiv..

new recruit,you are not standing on the mandate of the CEO bullion vans manufacturing company again; Agbero chairman is not going anywhere

madridguy:
We have tried Igbo twice, let try Tapa, Igala,Berom, or Agatu.
