Lol!

While they defend the buffoons they have in their region, we hold all our governors accountable and put them heat in the ass to ensure they are delivering.

That’s why Enugu is a construction site.

Otti is doing wonders in Abia.

Soludo is doing fairly enough in Anambra.

While Uzodimma is delivering silently.

But to them, once you are Tinubu’s lapdog, no one dares question your performance.

chiefolododo:
Every region should have equal states

Decrease North West by 1 and increase southeast by 1
Lol!

Make dem just give Southeast 1 more state and allow Northwest the way it is to avoid wahala.

The only thing I have issue with is Kano alone having 44 Local Governments. It’s an aberration.

Meanwhile, I hope Igbo haters can sleep well tonight.

While I advise Senator Ned to ensure miscreants do not find their way into the event. Only vetted and accredited groups should be allowed into the event.

All things being equal, we should have Anioma State as the 6th Southeast state before Christmas.

Such a weak logic from you lots and those who draw up propaganda for you.

If we go buy your logic, then Tinubu has no business being president since he studied Accountancy.

The Wike you all are intoxicated by his alcohol should have no business as FCT minister since he studied Law.

Fashola shouldn’t have governed Lagos State since he studied Law too.

Even Awolowo did not study Political Science.

Fela did not study Music.

So you people should stop that rubbish you are talking.

Politics › Re: 'Repentant’ Boko Haram Commanders Return To Sambisa – ICIR by Penguin2: 9:08am On Jun 07, 2025
I wanted to say “the leopard never changes its spot” but the details revealed it’s a different case.

The government cannot take them out of the bushes where they were commanders and possibly earning millions in ransom money, and promise them house, skill and feeding and then fail to do those things.

You can’t be trying to cure someone of addiction without replacing the bad habit with something good. He will relapse.

Nature abhors vacuum.

I’m so very against accepting that terrorists have “repented”, but the ones that have genuinely repented and are even assisting the military with intelligence should be given whatever they were promised.

The 226million naira they are using to build one streetlight is enough to erect about 100 units of a room and parlour house for them.

Government should stop behaving like untrustworthy criminals.

Except another Champions League Club comes for Osimhen, he should stay at Galatasaray.

The club is playing Champions League next season. And at 25, Osimhen should still stay and play elite competition.

If he goes to Saudi, he will just be forgotten and that’s not good for a relatively young talent.

This is why I hate it when dead brains complain about how we should have been speaking Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba as our official language.

We would have been cut off from the rest of the world right now.

The problem is not the language we speak but the kind of leaders we have successively imposed on ourselves due to tribalism.

Politics › Re: Amaechi Coming Into The Picture Relegated Coalition Adopting Peter Obi. by Penguin2: 8:23pm On Jun 04, 2025
Melezenawii:
Rotimi Amaechi coming into the picture has further relegated the possibilities of the coalition adopting Peter Obi. The latter skips to third on that scale. It doesn’t help that when Amaechi speaks about his record, he mentions specific projects whilst Obi mentions Bangladesh.

The coalition probably considered Obi’s depleting popularity too.

https://x.com/Omojuwa/status/1930202397973819456
Lol!

Why did you cut out the reaction to the tweet?

I’m sure only 5 people liked the tweet🤣

The truth is simple, making any other person the presidential candidate of the coalition other than Peter Obi is as simple as handing Tinubu his second tenure.

They know it.

We know it.

You know it.

All these trash you people are talking now is not different from how you said Obi will not win a single local government in 2023 but you ended up rigging Rivers State for him not to win more states than Tinubu.

At the last check, the only stumbling block to Obi’s adoption as coalition candidate is his insistence on running with Datti as his running mate.

But you can tease yourself as much as you want.

Amaechi ko, Amarachi ni.

People will just stay home

Oga, rest! You people brag a lot. That's why everyone complains about you folks. OUK didn't want to discuss Peter Obi out of respect for him because nobody expects him to say something positive about a politician in the opposition. Since Charles Soludo started calling out and criticising Peter Obi, has his career ended?
How many elections have come since then?

Yeah, 3 gbosa for his cowardice.

But it’s good this happened on National Television so you all will see that nobody messes with Peter Obi.

You can see that even OUK as big as he is, is afraid to even discuss Peter Obi because he knows that one wrong statement against Peter Obi can end his political career.

You think I’m bluffing? Ask Chimaroke Nnamani.

Nigerians never learn.
There's something we call KPIs'(Key Performance Index). What are the KPIS' we as Nigerians should look out for?
- FUEL
- DOLLAR
- FOOD
- SECURITY
- INFLATION

When Tinubu came he increased everything.
From 750 to 1500/dollar. From 180 to 500 to 900/liter of fuel. Yet you claim he is doing better? How?
You came and made matter worse and you claim he is the necessary evil? Illiteracy is truly and thoroughly killing this country. This the reason why Nigeria will never develop. Continue deceiving yourselves that Tinubu is the best president to take Nigeria forward.

A 2005 car is 20 years old as of this minute I write this comment, In 2015, the car was 1.6 million. Ten years later its 9.6 million as of last week Friday. Does that make sense to you? will you use 10 million naira to buy a car that's 20 years old?
Nigeria money is loosing or it has Lost its value completely?
Or do you Disagree?
Understand that I’m not here to praise Tinubu’s administration or say he is doing well.

I’m only speaking to the courage and willpower he has shown to make tough but necessary decisions for the long term benefit of the entire country.

All these things you said now are the necessary first shocks and reaction of the economy to the changes. Overtime, all these things will start to stabilize never to be so shocked again by anything.

Remember fuel was 1,200 at a time. But see what is happening now. Local supply and competition has brought the price way below 1k. Once more refineries come onboard and more competition, the price will go even further down.

These things are gradual. But any lasting gain and success always comes gradually.

Well, there's good suffering (when benefits accrue) and bad suffering (when no benefits accrue). I'm not against good suffering, but does what we're going through amount to it? All those businesses crumbling? All those people losing their jobs? All those planned investments cancelled? Well, I hope you're proved right in the end. For our sakes.
I know it for certain that the gains of fuel subsidy removal will come just like I know tomorrow is Tuesday.

Maybe it’s not Tinubu who will bring those gains but definitely, once we get a responsible and frugal president, we will all see and enjoy the gains.

What I’m praising Tinubu for here is having the courage to see through the removal. I doubt others could have done the same.

You cant talk of yields without a trajectory, since removal of subsidy as our GDP scaled up, less pressure on the dollar and what ease of business operation ... so what will yield the so anticipated long term benefits

After removing subsidy on power your president spent billions to do solar .. is that not a scam

Power is a driven force of any economy, but what measures has this govt put in place to ensure ease of operation for business

If you want to stand on long-term benefits please show us the foreseeable trajectory

your friend no wash rice put for fire buh he keeps saying the jollof go soon ready
You need to understand that I’m not defending Tinubu.

He has done a lot things wrong. I’m not even his supporter. I’m a Peter Obi man till forever.

I’m just speaking to the courage and act of removing the fuel subsidy. What he has done since the removal is totally out of the consideration of this piece. And we all know that they have not gone about redistributing the gains adequately. Instead, they have embarked on profligacies and wasteful spending.

Ttalk:
Today I see one Obidient who is objective and didn't allow ethnic interest to cloud his memory.

Some of us who support Tinubu still criticize some of his actions but we do so with sincerity of heart and not because our candidate lost an election.

Personally I expect Tinubu administration to have put a mechanism in place to monitor the spending of increased revenue to the state. Many of these governors simply pay salaries and the use the balance to buy dollar, that's the reason why naira has not appreciated despite the fact that Nigeria no longer buy imported fuel with scarce dollar.

The second area am not pleased with the administration is the continual attempt to tolerate the inefficiency of the disco, I expect the government to have revoked license of many of the discos who have performed abysmally to serve as a deterrent to other, Nigerians should not be made to suffer inefficiency of a private company.

In general, this is a government that have embarked on a necessary reform in Nigeria since I was born
I have never failed to be objective. You have just always been too primordial to see it.

The reason you are acknowledging my objectivity today is because I spoke in favour of someone you support. When I call out his pitfalls tomorrow now, you will accuse me of suffering from election loss.

Finally, someone that gets it.

I don't agree on subsidy removal though. It was the theft that made it balloon. They should have tackled that. Or wait a bit for local refining to come on stream. Or take measures to protect the most vulnerable. And much of the gains made from it have been seriously undermined by inflation.
If we start looking for excuse, we will find one thousand and more excuses as to why subsidy should have been retained for a little while more or removed in phases, but e good as go like this make we suffer the suffer once and for all and never go through this route forever.

FUEL SUBSIDY: “Fuel Subsidy is gone” was part of the last phrases he uttered on his Inauguration Day and since that day till date, Nigeria has not remained the same. Fuel price ballooned to the roof and with it the cost of transport and essentials rose astronomically almost beyond the reach of an average Nigerian. But was he wrong? No.



Oga i totally disagree, base on trajectory we have seen Removal of Fuel subsidy is wrong. we were only decieved into thinking " fuel subsidy" is the liability holding us back when in actual sense developed progressive nations adhere to this forms of subsidy

our last disbursed fuel subsidy in 2023 was N3.6trillion, if we can sum up total amount looted and wasted on opulence by govt i am sure it will be over, besides subsidy can be rationed on % basis

In a country where fuel useage cut across on production line and businesses the essence of "fuel sibsidy" can not be undermined relative to ease of business operations.

FIY, fuel subsidy is the only benefit that touches every Nigeria, and from a holistic view the gains outweigh the negativity attached if transparently implemented

Since we have stopped Fuel subsidy what have changed and what have we gained infrastructure wise, as you and i aware " borrowing" still on the rise.

2yrs of no subsidy where are the gains, our Budget deficit nko undecided does it make any sense
There was no deception.

Fuel subsidy had become unsustainable and truly had to go.

And about the gains, you need to understand that this is an action that will yield long term effect though it’s painful in the interim. So, 2 years is not enough to ask for the gains, infrastructurally.

But even then, there has been some immediate gains as states now have more money at their disposal to achieve more. We can question how many of them are using the funds judiciously but you need to understand that the current crop of kleptomaniacs will not remain in power forever.

Some day, the people that will use the money well will come.
