it's like u weren't taught summary in school

So for your mind na me go read all this your bunkum?

As someone once said, 'If you want to hide something from black people, put it in a book'. It seems you were the subject of that statement.

A shameless, incompetent man who believes that he has conquered Nigerian people will get his invoice at the coming presidential polls. No further comment.

ADC died the day Peter Obi left.

All these things they are doing now is them just putting up appearance.

Atiku can’t even find a running mate 🤓

Andy Okonkwo is availabe.

It was not the "turn of the South" in 2007 after 8 years of Obasanjo but Ojukwu contested the presidency under APGA. No Northerner cried about it. Zoning is purely a party affair. Anyone saying otherwise is being clever by half. With regards Atiku’s chances, despite the Southeast/Southsouth giving Obi 95% of their votes in 2023, Atiku came second with 6.9m votes in an election where Northerners carried Tinubu on their heads and gave him 5.6m votes. You can do the maths or continue to bury your head in the sand. The choice is yours.

Atiku entered the 2023 election with the full weight of the PDP's entrenched political machinery behind him, including the support of 14 governors and decades-old electoral structures. Peter Obi, by contrast, was leading a relatively new movement with little more than grassroots enthusiasm and a legion of committed supporters. Yet, according to INEC's declared results, he still secured over 6.1 million votes in his first standalone presidential campaign, versus Atiku's 6.9 million votes.

That reality should not be ignored. More importantly, the political environment has changed considerably since then. The structures and advantages Atiku enjoyed in 2023 are no longer as formidable or as unified under the ADC banner. While he will undoubtedly poll substantial votes in the North, I remain convinced that he neither can nor will win the presidency. The momentum and chance is with Peter Obi if NDC can adequately man the poll units and count the votes.

I want to be locked in a spacious room with this man. Only one of us will come out whole again.

Good afternoon everyone

Lately I have been seeing different things in social media as regards kidnapping of people at oyo and how the people have reacted.

Let me tell you the reality on ground, the opposition fully knows well they have nothing to use to campaign against Tinubu so they decided to use insecurity to make him unpopular.

Observe those people shouting Tinubu must go, ask them what their candidate will do different and ask them their candidate manifesto? All they keep saying is let tinubu go first....🤪🤪😂😂

So after tinubu goes, what next?

Who are we picking next?

They go mute and confused.

Now ask them again, which of tinubu good policies will your candidate reverse?

They go mute for the second time

Will your candidate reverse nelfund?
Will he stop the coastal road?
Will he bring back subsidy?
Will he stop subsidizing hospital bills of dialysis patients?
Will he stop giving farmers agricultural loans?
Among others

When you ask them this question they have nothing to say than to resort to emotional blackmail, now they will start telling you the you will die before 2027, they will kidnap you before 2027.

Aside from all these emotional blackmail, please tell me what your candidate will do differently and his previous records of doing it.

Now to the issue of insecurity proper, if your car is having issues and you keep changing drivers, your will change a million drivers and the problem will still be there. Isn't it crystal clear now that Nigerian president aren't the problem but the loopholes in Nigeria security architecture?

Now let's look back a little to the time of Jonathan, all that was used to destroy his government was bring back our girls and it worked....now oppositions have mastered that act and they are now using it, the new formula opposition parties are using is now to extort our security lapses to make the president unpopular.

Without emotions, ask yourself the same position of chaos we are during the era of Jonathan that made us all shout Jonathan must leave is where we are today, Jonathan left but our problem still persist.

If Jonathan left and the problem is still there, what makes you all think when tinubu leaves the problem will leave?

Why can't we citizens demand for security reforms that will stop all these security loopholes because this same method is working and future oppositions are observing too.

For how long will we keep posting bring back our kids? Let's force the government to demand for state policing, forest guard, high tech surveillance cameras like sowore suggested, purging of security saboteurs in our force and asking for capital punishment for kidnappings.

Emotions and social media crying won't stop our problem if we don't use common sense and logic.


If we continue like this, we will keep shouting bring back our kids virtually every 4 years and ask yourself for how long will we keep doing this?

If you shouted at Jonathan then and shouting at tinubu now then you have to think twice.

IRE oooo

First, your submission is clearly drawn from the APC's baseless echo chamber and, ordinarily, would ordinarily not deserve further consideration. It is shambolic, incoherent, and asinine.

Let me ask a simple question: on the issue of insecurity, who is the President of Nigeria?. Who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces?. Who controls the security architecture of this country, and on whose desk does the buck ultimately stop?. Is it the opposition?.

Nobody is trying to run Tinubu out of office. In fact, Nigerians would gladly campaign for him if he had governed well and delivered on his promises. Unfortunately, he appears more interested in doing well for himself in a hurry, his family, and his associates than for the Nigerian people.

By the last count, more than 33,000 Nigerians have reportedly lost their lives to insecurity since Ahmed Tinubu assumed office. Yet, despite the daily reports of killings, kidnappings, terrorist attacks, and banditry, this administration continues to behave as though security is somebody else's responsibility.

The same applies to the economy. Nigerians are not experiencing economic prosperity; they are enduring economic hardship. Since the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira, transportation costs, food prices, rent, electricity tariffs, school fees, and the prices of basic household goods have skyrocketed. Ordinary Nigerians are not judging this government by economic theories or IMF talking points. They are judging it by their empty pockets, shrinking purchasing power, and declining standard of living.

The NELFUND programme you touted is a shambolic scam and a poor substitute for genuine educational support. Every previous administration subsidized education and healthcare to some degree. This government removed educational subsidies, allowed fees to increase dramatically, and then introduced NELFUND as though it were some revolutionary intervention. Nigerians are expected to celebrate loans after being stripped of affordable access to education.

Healthcare tells a similar story. Despite receiving only a tiny fraction of the national budget, healthcare remains in crisis. Thousands of Nigerian doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals continue to leave the country in search of better opportunities abroad. Hospitals are understaffed, facilities are deteriorating, and ordinary citizens increasingly find quality healthcare beyond their reach. Yet the government appears more interested in public relations than meaningful reforms.

And why are Nigerian farmers crying out in agony?. They can no longer safely cultivate their lands without the threat of terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, or death. Many are forced to pay levies to criminal groups simply to access their own farms. Then, after abandoning them to insecurity, the government compounds their suffering by importing the very food they are expected to produce, thereby undermining local production and making farming increasingly unprofitable.

Tinubu removed the petrol subsidy. Fine. Where is the money saved from that policy?. Nigerians were promised that subsidy savings would be redirected into infrastructure, healthcare, education, and social development. This is 2026, and Nigerians are still waiting for a transparent accounting of where those funds went.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has effectively been operating multiple budgets concurrently since 2024. Yet critical capital projects remain underfunded. Healthcare remains neglected. Education remains in crisis. Infrastructure remains inadequate. So again, where is the money?.

This administration has also borrowed at an astonishing rate. Working hand in glove with the APC-controlled National Assembly, Tinubu has accumulated enormous amounts of debt while Nigerians continue to ask the most basic question: what exactly has been achieved with these borrowings?.

The government promised that its economic reforms would attract foreign investment, create jobs, strengthen the private sector, and stimulate growth. Where are the results?. How many sustainable jobs has this administration created since taking office?. What measurable improvement has occurred in industrial productivity?. What major investments have translated into employment opportunities for ordinary Nigerians?.

And while we are discussing economic performance, what was Nigeria's GDP when Tinubu assumed office, and what is it today?. Beyond statistical rebasing exercises and technical adjustments, how has the average Nigerian's life improved?. Economic success is not measured by government presentations; it is measured by whether citizens can afford food, housing, education, healthcare, and transportation.

These are all legitimate questions that deserve answers.

The issue is not whether challenges existed before Tinubu took office. Every administration inherits problems. The real question is whether the promises made during the campaign have translated into measurable improvements in security, economic stability, job creation, poverty reduction, and the quality of life of ordinary Nigerians.

The man who shouted "Emi Lokan" is now President. Leadership comes with responsibility. Policy formulation and implementation are his duties. Success belongs to him when things go right, and failure belongs to him when things go wrong.

If this administration can find $150 million for a presidential aircraft, borrow billions of dollars, remove subsidies, and implement painful economic reforms, then nobody can credibly argue that it lacks the capacity to act. The question is whether that capacity has been deployed in the interest of the Nigerian people.

In my view, Tinubu has failed woefully in virtually every measurable aspect of governance. On security, the country remains unsafe. On the economy, citizens are poorer. On healthcare, the system continues to deteriorate. On education, access has become more difficult. On job creation, the results remain abysmal. On transparency, fundamental questions remain unanswered.

Ultimately, leadership is measured by outcomes, not slogans. Nigerians were promised renewed hope, greater prosperity, improved security, economic stability, and a better future. Three years into this administration, citizens are entitled to ask whether those promises have been fulfilled, even if halfway. Asking such questions is not opposition politics; it is democratic accountability.

The only person truly campaigning against Tinubu is Tinubu himself.

Finally, your man is unable to show workings as we say in local parlance, and your attempt to gaslight Nigerians has failed. Your diatribe is riddled with contradictions, unsupported assertions, and talking points that collapse under scrutiny.

Nairaland is not a gathering of Tinubu or APC yes-men and yes-women who can be manipulated by propaganda. If you wish to defend this administration, do so with facts, measurable outcomes, and verifiable evidence, not slogans, innuendos and outright lies.

Validated:
Wike, LP defeated you with an unknown candidate. You used security to rewrite results, but come 2027, we will see how your omnipotence will manipulate polling unit results across Rivers state. Indeed we will see the practical defeat you will suffer.

Oga, name the unknown candidate.

This nonsense should be challenged in a law court immediately.

These government bandits, some of whom are speaking under the influence of 200-year-old whisky, need to tone it down. It is the docility of Nigerians that has emboldened them. But one day will come. These people should take Nicolae Ceaușescu as an example of how not to end up.

“Always Remember That Tinubu Took Bullet For Nigeria to Survive”

Tinubu And The BULLET

Bullshit!

Tinubu is stealing Nigeria blind.
Non-performing budgets
Over 33,000 Nigerians have been killed under his watch.
Petrol now costs 1,350 naira.
The dollar now costs 1,500 naira.
Unemployment and underemployment stand at 53 percent.
Insecurity is now rife.

And the list goes on.

Ahmed Tinubu is an evil man. Thankfully, he won't be able to kill Nigerians for another four years. In 2027, we well-meaning Nigerians will fight to liberate this country from his grasp.

Nigeria has a Fulani problem. Until this issue is resolved, the country will not be able to make progress.

DoWhatThouWilt:
With politicking intensifying ahead of the January 2027 election, opposition politicians have escalated their campaign of misinformation and calumny to diminish the impact and achievements of this administration over the last three years.

Thunder fire this shameless man.

Dis one smoked a good 5 bedroom duplex in 6 years. Congratulations.

If Nigerians were alive to their interests, this thing in Abuja would abscond to France and never return.

richmond500:
I don't think Nigerians will vote me, they love oppressors. That is why Wike, Tinubu, Obi and Atiku are still relevant

It remains to be seen whether you are not an oppressor yourself, seeing as you staunchly support one, probably in pursuance of stomach infrastructure.

richmond500:
So carrying his luggage means he is humble?

It's all public pretence, a man who days he doesn't have house help that he does his chores himself.

He is a known liar and deceit, it's so bad that we only have Obi, Tinubu and Atiku as the main contenders.

I just pray Donald Duke pick up ticket.

Do you realize you are old enough to do what these men are doing?.

In a laudable feat, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ekiti State Chapter, has announced an Igbo man, Zaccheus Okoro, as its Candidate for one of the Federal Constituencies in the State.

We are one Nigeria. Remember, Igbo owned Ile Ife, according to Ooni.

For every Kwankwaso picture burnt by APC operatives, genuine Kano residents will burn 20 Tinubu billboards. That's the reality. There's no pathway back to the villa for Tinubu. Peter Obi is the next president of Nigeria.

Bullshit!

Despite borrowing more than all previous governments in two years, this kleptocracy government is struggling to fund minimum capital projects, such as those contained in the health budget. We are still implementing 2024 and 2025 budgets in 2026 and still borrowing as they go. The rail projects mentioned were mostly conceived, started or completed by the Goodluck Jonathan or Buhari administrations.

It is a shame that the failing Tinubu government is trying to take credit for the achievements of another administration. As for the newly proposed rail lines, don't hold your breath.

Richtaiwo:
Alright, let’s even pretend the statistics are accurate. In a family compound with five apartments, it is perfectly normal to see relatives moving freely between apartments. They are siblings, not foreign invaders. Only someone mentally challenged would raise eyebrows.

That said, I was always told certain people practically own Lagos and single-handedly built the city. I also heard Lagos turns into a ghost town whenever they travel for Christmas. So, is this tiny figure the mighty population supposedly emptying Lagos every December? Interesting revelation.

So, let's set this straight.

Admittedly, the large-scale migration to Lagos happened decades ago, and rightly so. Lagos was then Nigeria’s capital, the economic melting pot of the nation, and the seat of the federal government, much like what Abuja represents today.

People from every part of the country moved there in search of opportunities, and over time many of those migrants settled permanently, raising families and building strong population blocs within the state. That demographic reality is part of the reason Tinubu lost Lagos in 2023.

Fast forward to the present day, economic activities are now more spread across the regions, leading to a gradual reverse migration.

Many descendants of the first and second-generation Southeast and South-South migrants have either returned to their ancestral regions or emigrated abroad in search of better opportunities.

What Lagos is experiencing today is increasingly an internal Southwest migration pattern. Large numbers of Yorubas from neighboring Southwest states continue to flood into Lagos, taking advantage of geographical proximity, shared language, and cultural affiliation as economic opportunities decline in their home states.

seunmsg:
Obidient analyst definitely. For sensible political analyst, the figures wouldn't be a surprise at all. In 2027,the president will even get more votes than what he got at the primaries.

We've carefully watched the APC and their paid, lying instruments gaslight Nigerians since Tinubu and Yakubu stole an election he did not win.

And the mechanisms is steadily being put in place for a repeat by this same gang of despicable criminals. It will not end well this time.
