If Wike has common sense, he would have noticed the barrier posed by the 5-states-only political structure in the southeast which puts any presidential aspirant from the southeast to a disadvantaged position. |
givedemwotowoto:Hard to understand how any ordinary Nigerian living in Nigeria can still support Tinubu to continue beyond May 29, 2027 to preside over Nigeria. |
Ofunaofu:Party hierarchy want to eat their own. Because they didn't receive bags of Naira when the primaries were going on at the local level. |
Wonderful. "We don’t hold primary in our party. We pick those that we want to pick. The claim of a winner of a primary is false” -------APC Secretary. Not even in a Banana Republic could party leaders pick candidates like this. Corruption. He wants aspirants to storm his home with bags of millions of Naira as bribe to be picked as candidates. |
Final step to oligarchy and dictatorship government in Nigeria. This APC is seriously plotting bad for Nigeria. |
LegendHero:Kill and set houses ablaze. Typical of government-rented Dokubor men during the Buhari era. |
KosiGee:Perhaps you expect blood, not tears, from their eyes before you pity them. |
Doctortyre:What is delaying sovereign Oduduwa, Biafra and other Republics in the SS to end this misery in one Nigeria? Cheap cash from crude oyel? Who, except a tiny minority has benefited from the Cheap cash? |
SixSeven:Arewa people don't travel too much to settle outside Nigeria. So Arewa oppose Diaspora Nigerians vote. The so-called southern political leaders sit akimbo and watch millions of their people disenfranchised. |
SixSeven:Millions of Nigeria Diaspora votes would have been more transparent than votes cast in Nigeria. Why would some section of Nigeria continue to refuse Diaspora Nigerians to vote while the Akpabios in the Senate watch? |
Gotocourt:If he refuses to sign e-transmission of votes in real time, he may be going for impeachment. |
Akpabio's Senate has Transfer of votes, not E-transmission of votes in its Electoral Act. If the Electoral Act remains with "Transfer," not "e-transmission," that amounts to sticking to the outmoded and fraud-prone system of manual transfer of votes. Akpabio was on daylight robbery with his explanations. |
Dalohad:Use of modern method of conduct of election can only become a controversy in a country led by fraudsters. Insistence on E-transmidsion of votes should have been massive in that NASS. It is tha most modern system to avoid election fraud in countries that want to move forward. |
*STOP INSULTING NIGERIANS: An Economy That Works Only in Government Speeches Is a Fraud* By Chief Akinwumi Akinfenwa Let us stop pretending. Nigeria’s economic crisis is no longer about policy mistakes or reform pains. It is about official dishonesty — the deliberate promotion of a success story that millions of starving citizens know to be false. This government is not merely out of touch. It is talking down to a suffering population. *THE BIG CON: WHEN STATISTICS BECOME A WEAPON* Nigerians are told the economy is improving. Who exactly is improving? Certainly not the trader who can no longer restock goods. Not the civil servant whose salary is dead on arrival. Not the graduate roaming the streets jobless. Not the family skipping meals. Yet, government spokespersons speak with confidence — GDP growth, easing inflation, fiscal discipline — as if numbers alone can cancel hunger. This is not leadership. It is economic propaganda. *LET US BE CLEAR: POVERTY IS EXPLODING* The World Bank estimates that over 130 million Nigerians now live in poverty. That is more people than the population of many African countries combined. The government’s response? Denial. Dismissal. Deflection. Instead of emergency action, Nigerians are given excuses. Instead of accountability, they are given lectures about patience. This is moral failure at scale. *REFORMS WITHOUT RELIEF ARE REFORMS AGAINST THE PEOPLE* Fuel subsidy removal. Currency float. New taxes. All implemented with brutal speed — without safety nets, without wage protection, without food security. The result? Transport costs exploded Food prices went out of control Small businesses collapsed Purchasing power evaporated Yet government officials still have the audacity to say “the worst is over.” Over for who? For politicians on allowances? For contractors paid in dollars? For elites insulated from market prices? *TAXING POVERTY IS NOT GOVERNANCE — IT IS VIOLENCE* Only a government detached from reality would increase tax pressure in an economy where: Real incomes are falling Unemployment is endemic Informal businesses are barely breathing Taxation without prosperity is state-sanctioned extortion. No serious nation taxes its way out of mass poverty. You grow production. You create jobs. You protect citizens. Nigeria is doing the opposite. *THE MOST DANGEROUS LIE: “SUFFERING IS NECESSARY”* Nigerians are told suffering is inevitable — that pain today guarantees prosperity tomorrow. History disagrees. There is no economic law that says reforms must destroy lives. There is no justification for policy brutality. There is no excuse for indifference to hunger. When leaders ask citizens to suffer while they remain comfortable, the social contract is broken. And broken contracts do not heal with speeches. *THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE ANGRY* Not because Nigerians “don’t understand economics.” But because they understand injustice. They understand when: Markets say one thing Kitchens say another Government insists everyone is wrong except itself Anger grows when truth is denied. Silence should not be mistaken for acceptance. *A WARNING, NOT A THREAT* No society survives indefinitely on denial and deprivation. When governments ignore hunger, hunger eventually speaks. When leaders dismiss pain, pain eventually organizes. When legitimacy collapses, statistics cannot save it. Nigeria is approaching that edge. *THE BOTTOM LINE* An economy that looks good only in official narratives is not recovering. A government that argues with poverty data instead of fighting poverty has lost moral authority. A leadership that demands sacrifice without protection is unfit for trust. Nigerians are not asking for miracles. They are asking for honesty, empathy, and relief. Until then, every talk of “turnaround” is an insult — and Nigerians are no longer in the mood to be insulted. *©️ Chief Akinwumi Akinfenwa* *07062986613* *Political Scientist, Public Policy Analyst, Social Commentator, and Advocate for Constitutional Decency lives in Ibadan* WIKE, PLEASE STOP INSULTING RIVERS PEOPLE. |
spiceadole:That one made a political choice must not amount to kidnap of one's offspring; even though PBAT is known for antagonising ethnic groups that did not vote for him. |
Think of best solution. Think of Oduduwa Republic. How happy one is about one's country matters most, not how big or rich one's country is. The other side had adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system and deploys foot soldiers to get Islamic Republic of Nigeria. |
Except Tinubu, Obi and Jonathan, the rest from the south merely wanted their names mentioned. |
thesicilian:Tinunu defeating Obi through election fraud, if not, only a dull ethnic bigot will put a vote for Tinubu to continue to preside over Nigeria after the disaster Tinubu made Nigeria. Tinubu made Nigeria become a crime scene. |
Stomoney:A teacher is a special person. Beheading a teacher is supposed to load public outrage, march on the streets. But as Goodluck Jonathan aptly put it: Nigerians have gotten used to killings. Islamists want to take total control of Nigeria. |
When President Tinubu sent Nnamdi Kalu to Sokoto prison, the headquarters of Sokoto Caliphate whose prince, Sani Yerima of Zamfara state, started the adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system in Nigeria, the evidence that government of Nigeria supports terrorism fully emerged. Boko Haram, armed Fulani herdsmen, bandits and mass kidnappers for ransome are all gunning for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws. |
nlfpmod:Thousands of IPOB members are like this in Nigeria's prisons. Inhuman treatment on people by Nigeria's government due to lust for cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger delta region. |
TheStoriesOfMan:Gov Hope Uzodinma has reconstructed and lighted the Owerri-Orlu section of the road. Gov Charles Soludo is expected to complete the Ekwulobia-Orlu section of the road. Going from Awka to Uga to Akokwa-Orlu to Owerri is like circumnavigation. |
Kalatium:She should visit Europe or America where spouses share rent payment every month. She is a typical woman from the underdevrloied world. |
[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139563123] is too special about her legs? After all, the man is also splitting his legs before her. She suffers inferiority complex. |
BeautifulMind2:You don't know that Awka-Ekwulobia-Ideato-Orlu-Owerri road was completed before Buhari coup of 1983, except a bridge across Orashi River that was not done before the Buhari coup. The road remains unused since 1983. The road was meant to be the shortest between Awka and Owerri. It's like you are of the Indomie generation. |
dominique:The 5-states-only political structure of the southeast is a great disadvantage to any presidential aspirant from the southeast. Do the Maths - if you can. |
Afriifa:Announcer didn't allow viewers see the village boys |
BeautifulMind2:Ekwulobia-Orlu express way nearly completed before Buhari coup of 1983 has remained the blind sight of gov Soludo, why? |
Less than 2% of Nigeria's population live on government jobs/salaries. Just hear what is satisfying a country's president. |

They should start with electronic voting at the Senate first instead of relying on voice vote but these guys we have there now can't. They can never because you can't give what you don't have. Honor is not sold in the market neither is you calling yourself distinguished distinguish you from any cowardly behaviour.
