With petrol subsidy, the average car owner in Nigeria saved about N140,000 monthly or N1.6 million naira annually. The math is simple. If you used 50 liters of petrol weekly, that was about N15,000 compared to N50,000 naira now.

Subsidy removal means government took away over N1 million naira annually from millions of households.

What has the government done for Nigerians to justify taking away millions of naira annually from their households?

Dailytrust has to be very careful, they have been involved in some careless reportage, antagonistic Journalism, you're losing credibility and that's why Reno Omokri is taking you to the cleaners.

We must also give credit to Umahi and Wike, they have been showing Julius Berger pepper and humbling them. JB still think they are dealing with corrupt PDP Government. JB has turned Nigeria to their ponzi scheme for decades, whereby they continue to re-award and renegotiate same project for years, collecting billions from Government. The game is over.

Pikin wey say him mama no go sleep. The US under trump will make too many enemies and will need to fight many battles at once. The US will lose allies and the downfall of America has begun with trump. Other countries will learn how to thrive without the US and would not need them anymore eventually.

We've said it repeatedly, the insecurity is not religious motivated but ethnic. Those blaming Islam are purely ignorant. The question however is, can these people be trusted?. Knowing that several previous attempts had failed. This time around both the attackers and the attackers are tired, worn out & needed a more meaningful living. The country as a whole don tire too. Our military are over stretched. Abeg, e don do.

It’s difficult to achieve full LG autonomy with the current constitution. No matter what you do, the state assemblies can pass a law that mandates the state and LG accounts to be put together when it arrives the state., or laws that limit the extent to which LG chairmen can spend funds

The Nigerian Air Force is in for a challenge if they're serious about taking down those terrorists. These guys are sneaky, always disguising themselves and hiding among civilians. So, unless the Nigerian military goes all out and takes down the terrorists and their mates(those who aid them), I just don't see how they'll come out on top.

And, get ready for a load of media noise and propaganda from the terrorists' PR people trying to spin the narrative. It's a tricky business, carrying out precise strikes. You gotta know your stuff, gather intel, and then do your best.

Now the reality is, there's gonna be collateral damage, and civilians are gonna lose their lives. Point here is, I'm not sure the Nigerian Air Force has got the ability to pull off precise attacks like some other countries.
Israel as a case study! 🤷🏼

Peter Obi schooled Tinubu on governance and leadership. Only sycophants and fools will come out to say something different. People like Reno are the reasons our leaders are not performing and why our nation is backward. These the AGIP (Any Govt In Power) sycophants

Highlights of Peter Obi's pres conference
1. Stop foreign medical tourism
2. Stop foreign visits without positive results
3. Spend holidays in Nigeria, not just Lagos, visit Sokoto, Niger, Adamawa, Bornu
4. Go and see first hand what goes on in IDPs
5. Stem the highest form of poligrafy and corruption, by showing leadership
6. Visit soldiers in battle ground states to boost their morale
7. Stop borrowing to fund non-generative projects that cannot pay for themselves.
8. You are no longer governor Lagos, but president of Nigeria
9. Reduce cost of governance and focus on production rather than consumption
10. Go and visit our higher institutions, and see their hosteks and toilets. These are places our future leaders are being trained in squalor rundown environments
11. Stop using proxies to address Nigerians. Be courageous to face the press quarterly and tell Nigerians what you are doing.
12. Nigerians are hungry due to poor leadership. We are now having over 100m poorest of the poor and 150m in multi dimensional poverty

I'm deeply saddened and disheartened by the amount of hatred and attacks by some persons against the personality of His Excellency, Sir PETER GREGORY OBI. I have overtime asked myself why all these? What is his offence that warrants all these hatreds and resentments?
While I agree that everyone cannot like and support you, I'm dismayed that there's such amount of hatred for PETER OBI. Why is same hatred not extended to Atiku or other contestants? Well, the reason isn't farfetched. It is simply because he decided to throw his hat in the ring, because he decided to exercise his right of franchise as a Bonafide Nigerian by contesting for the highest position in the land.
If we are being honest, objective, sincere, logical and rational, we should know that Igbos deserve the Presidency more than any other tribe. Since the inception of democracy till date, An Igbo man has never ruled or govern this country, not even as a vice-president despite being among the three largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Why the marginalisation?. Nigeria doesn't belong to any person or group. Nigeria belongs to all of us.
His Excellency, Sir PETER GREGORY OBI isn't a perfect man, neither is a Saint. He has his own flaws and shortcomings just like every other human being but I must be honest with you, of all the contestants, PETER OBI remains the Best fit for this Job. He is least corrupt and the Lesser devil(if I May put it that way). The personal attacks and disrespect is really pointless and unwarranted.
If OBI had won, trust me, we wouldn't have being in the mess we are in right now because he would have done better. He would put in place logistics and modalities to first cushion the negative impact of subsidy removal on the citizens even before removing it. Aside the security of lives and properties being the first and primary responsibility of the president, the welfare and well-being of Nigerians remain paramount and sacrosanct. And any Economic policy that does not put the welfare of people into consideration is anti-people. Why would a president come up with policies that are inimical and detrimental to the people he governs?.
Despite the removal of fuel subsidy, your president keeps taking loans, so what's now the essence of the subsidy removal in the first place?. They asked us to be patient so we can reap the benefits of their Economic reforms when there is no ray of hope or light at the end of the tunnel. Peter OBI remains the most passionate, sympathetic and empathetic leader we can ever have. Take it or leave it.
I noticed we are not ready for the change we are clamoring to have. We hail and praise our oppressors to high heavens. It's sad.
Mind you, I'm not an Igbo person before you would say I'm being tribalistic.. But whether the Devils like it or not, OBI will rule this country one day, whether now or later. Let's keep Hope alive. To all lovers of His Excellency Sir PETER OBI, Let's remain steadfast and not be dettered or fazed. God bless us all.

In God we trust.

I'm ONAH, O.O

I have a solution to Nigerian problem

Federal government send money to local governments directly (LG autonomy)

The exact amount sent to each local government is publicised

Each local government will have a website where they have a list of their most pressing needs with the cost of each project (e.g setting up of hospital along xyz village 35m, constructing abc road 1.5bn etc)


Indigenes visit the site and vote for the projects to be executed for that period.

Highest voted projects get immediate attention. Once completed, it's removed from the list and others added.

That way, the Indigenes are seeing exactly how much is entering and exactly what is spent for what project. This will result in transparency.

Just my idea though

Niger republic has been sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria
But when the Nigerian forces began to hit them hard and capture them they feared the action of Nigeria
and began the false narratives.
This is the same tactics of the Burkina faso president . Very useless but always praying himself on the.social media.
To Niger republic they fear with Nigeria alliance with France their antic is up

Wike did worse as governor.

Hmmmm ..... State donating to the Federal Government. Couldn't he use the boat money to improve infrastructure or do something for his people? ... like building a new school ... a new road or setting up an overhead water tank to provide potable water for a community? .,or is it everything is excellent in his State?

If Goodluck Jonathan is on the ballot come 2027, the election will surely be over before 10 AM on election day. It will be a flawless victory for GEJ. The APC knows this very well and is hoping it never happens.

In fact, if GEJ is on the ballot come 2027, anyone campaigning for Tinubu will be instantly regarded as a madman.

Where will Tinubu's votes come from? The South-South, South-East, and North-Central will be on lockdown for GEJ. Individuals like Akpabio, Wike, and others currently working with Tinubu will naturally support GEJ because they know that going against him will not be politically beneficial.

The North-East and North-West will be very hostile to Tinubu in 2027. In fact, anyone campaigning for Tinubu in these two regions will be engaging in a suicide mission.

GEJ vs. Tinubu: When it comes to experience, capacity, and competence, there’s absolutely no comparison. Both will be vying for a maximum of four years in office.

PhD holder vs. certificate forger.
An era of economic boom vs. an era of economic retrogression and stagnation.
GEJ is a man of integrity, reputation, and unquestionable character, while Tinubu is a notorious narcotics trafficker, certificate forger, alleged CIA agent, and a power grabber involved in criminal state capture.
In fact, there’s virtually nothing to compare.

There’s absolutely nothing for Tinubu to campaign with. He has now been exposed as an ineffectual buffoon. The "Lagos blueprint builder" propaganda, lies, and falsehoods have been exposed, and it's being replaced with the fact that his regime is the worst in Nigeria's history. A regime that has inflicted premium pain, untold hardships, and starvation, with high petrol prices, exorbitant transport costs, and the skyrocketing cost of basic food items, goods, and services, from the moment he was sworn in as president. Under this calamitous Tinubu regime, Nigerians have had no reason to smile. It has been pain and anguish all the way.
