That’s what I have tried to educate them on all day and they just keep displaying deeper levels of ignorance.
Even a bank branch monthly expense is millions.
Even a mid size private company with 20 staff monthly expenses is millions.

There's also old opinions about Tinubu from people like FFK, can you also ask what changed, Peter Obi is still miles ahead of other candidates, this is a known fact

CheapHomes1:
If the general could pull crowd, why would he need foot soldiers?

When you say youths and professionals, pls which ones are you referring?

How is Tinubu phenomenal?

Eriokanmi:
Guy be calming down. I can see you're the one who jokes too much. was a pdp supporter that time. You shouldn't expect him to support Obi even if he was the best performing governor in Nigeria that time, same way you're supporting a controversial candidate like Tinubu and seeing him as the best among the rest. Of course, you can't say obi is good cos he's not your candidate. Today the guy changed his mind and supported Obi. Whatever he may have said 10 years ago is inconsequential today. Tinubu that you're supporting today once called Buhari names before they formed the apc, same as FFK, Dino et al.
Do you know Barr. Bwala, the man who was always praising buhari, he's now in the pdp. Can the same say anything good of buhari today? That's it.

After February, we shall see who's truly a lunatic when Obi is declared winner.

seunmsg:
I’m not really surprised at all. Deep down, most of the guys supporting Peter Obi knows that he failed woefully as governor of Anambra state. They are simply supporting him because they hate Tinubu and APC. In terms of performance, it’s insane to compare Peter Obi with Tinubu. It’s not even close at all. It’s like someone telling us in ten years time that Ikpeazu was a far better governor than Sanwoolu and Zulum.

Religion, tribalism and senseless hatred is what is fueling the support for Peter Obi. Good enough, those supporting him are in the minority. The vast majority of sensible people like us will ensure that Peter Obi never becomes the president of Nigeria.

ncoolsome:
Motor park women selling agbo and ogogoro did there's now the motor park men have done there's...not surprises me again.

CheapHomes1:
Road transport workers in Lagos are controlled by Oluomo, a Tinubu foot soldier and the number 1 agbero in Lagos who controls all agberos in lagos. All markets in Lagos are controlled by Tinubus daughter. So when you are hailing the rallies, it seems as if these people are people without any previous affiliation.

When you say youths and professionals, pls which ones are you referring?

frank14011991:
Many are supporting obi base on say na Christian

Nchenches:
After describing someone as worse, and the person improved thereafter, why can't one support the person?
Some people on NL research for anything to blight Peter Obi's presidential ambition.

Throwback:
A lot of bandwagonism is at play.

They think they are woke meanwhile they are sound asleep.

2elliot:
Fani Kayode said worst things about Tinubu.

JASONjnr:
They have enough time to go and be digging tweets about what was said about Peter Obi many years ago.....


But that can never change...

On my deactivated account on this forum, I remember saying gruesome things against Peter but today he's the right guy....

Trinitycian:
Atiku is the best. I can't comprehend how people who described Peter Obi as the worst governor in Nigeria years ago will now turn around to impose him on Nigerians.

Too bad!

Fujiyama:
^^^
There is a trust deficit with this administration (like all the other failed administrations before it) and nobody should blame ordinary Nigerians for this.

Agreed...subsidy on fuel imports didn't start with the Buhari administration. But people are not blind. If this government actually did what it promised and cleaned up the public sector there would be two outcomes - cost savings that could actually be put to good use (like building new refineries or repairing old ones) AND people would actually trust government enough to act on their behalf. As it is now, the cost of the so called subsidy under this administration far exceeds the cost of several brand new refineries. Does that make any sense?

This administration squandered the goodwill it had and will forever be remembered for coddling bandits, terrorists and other psychopaths. It will also be remembered for a jarring failure to act decisively on public sector corruption - the one thing that people believed Buhari would actually do. What has this government done about the Oronsaye report?

What a waste.

grandstar:
If the senators want, let them push the subsidy removal to the end of the year, it wouldn't change much.

If Tinubu sees its inevitable to deregulate the petrol price, he'll first temporary reduce the subsidy and then, fully deregulate the price by the end of the year, preparing the populace for it. Tinubu has the grassroots appeal and also firmness to deal with protesters.

Obi would remove the subsidy and fully deregulate the price within a year. He has the grassroot goodwill to push it through. He can also be firm when he needs to.

Though Atiku promised to deregulate the price, he might have the greatest difficulty doing it. He lacks grassroot appeal and he is perceived as a fat cat. Nigerians would see it as a wicked measure by a man out of touch with the masses. He isn't an orator.

He might achieve a full deregulation but only after huge fiscally costly concessions.

fkj950ax:
Are you sure you read the report. It has nothing to do with benefits to the senators.

They currently oppose Buhari ending subsidy at the end of his administration as he wants to in order to prevent the next president getting attacked by Nigerians from the hardship subsidy removal will cause.
If subsidy must be removed, it should be done towards the end of next year by the next administration.

Buhari's incompetence is the real issue here. He has dumped "all the hardwork" on the incoming government and will end his presidency with a populist finish. Sadly, the economy will pay a big price.

Do the masses know one reason why the Naira is now ₦740 and still falling is due to the enormous cost of maintaining this insane subsidy? A dropping Naira is a 'vote of no confidence' on the fiscal recklessness of this administration just like a tanking pound sterling says of the widening budget deficit in the UK.

Things shouldn't go on like this. The middle class is emigrating fast. I don't want to emigrate but I might be compelled to soon if things don't perk up. I find it nightmarish making online payments. The dropping Naira is a huge burden.

The fx controls of Buhari wrecked a simple business I was to have commenced last year. I just couldn't pay for the gig on Fiverr as Nigerian cards were now incompatible with PayPal. This was a business that would have generated me thousands of dollars monthly.

There's another I have partially started now but part of my worries is making overseas payments. I'll also need some extra capital. I'll might be going to Providus bank probably tomorrow as I was informed their debit cards have $1,500 or $5,000 monthly spend limits depending on which type you go for but use the black market rate.

victorsola:
this is the reason I say even if obi wins. Dey won’t allow him succeed.

PHIPEX:
It was a very selfish proposal by this govt, they want to throw the new administration into crises after paying subsidy for 8 years

ArmaniUhuru:
Removing subsidy without functional refineries will make living more difficult for the masses.

Where the refineries wey bubu promise sef?

bennybuhari:
When I was saying one president will come that will show Dangote shege, I didn't know ordinary Yeye Bello can treat his fuvk up. Say no to Dangote's monopoly
