Give Tinubu extra time. Things will get better.
What move is he making to make things better? Things can’t get better by propaganda or borrowing and looting

You miss a point. Tinubu removed the subsidy, not to dismantle the crime going on there, but to corner it to himself in greater magnitude. I truly do not know how exactly Obi would have done it, but we know how tinubu has done it.

1. Although he announced that subsidy is gone on his first day of office, the subsidy was provided for till end of June, the price should have remained as it was until after the products imported in June (which may still extend to around August or thereabout). But, rara, the moment he announced it, the provided fund was diverted.

2. Even when Buhari and others were paying for subsidy, the money spent by buhari was about 400b monthly (which was way higher that what Jonathan was paying). But as at now, tinubu pays 950b on subsidy every month, yet petrol rose to N950/L. And you know the worst nightmare? The subsidy is now paid to tinubu's company alone, and the company imports substandard fuel from malta.

These are the crimes therein:
a. Tinubu did not remove subsity
b. Tinubu increased subsidy by 100%
c. Tinubu pays himself the subsidy money
d. The subsidized fuel is substandard
e. The subsidized fuel is about 600% of it's price during Buhari's time, let's not mention Jonathan's time.

Just to pick Obi's brain. He might not have removed the subsidy, completely, but instead monitor to ensure govt is paying the right amount. And, believe me, it might have been about 20-30% of what buhari paid. Because I remember him reeling out the stat of fuel claimed to have been imported into Nigeria, compared to actual consumption. Meaning that he had meant to identify how the fuel was distributed and consumed.
If I would be in charge of that sector, subsidy will be paid directly to every tax paying individual who owns a car./generator. For the commercials, you must have a registered company to receive subsidy. A certain quantity (which is resonable to handle daily business) is to be availed the company, if you exceed it, you are on your own. WIth this, anyone smuggling the fuel to neighbouring country will certainly buy it at a price not subsidised.

We know how to dismantle the criminal gang, and it only takes someone like Obi who is not as corrupt as almost every other politician in Nigeria to achieve that.

When PBAT surrounds himself with a handler like Bayo Onanuga, an unrepentant ethnic bigot, he is bound to make series of mis steps.

Why didn't President Bola Ahmed Tinubu address the Nigerian Youths personally today ? Why please ? Is it arrogance or taking the teeming suffering youths for granted ?

Or does PBAT thinks he has done enough or too much ?

He may have himself to blame soon.
Tinubu will rather die than apologize to Nigerians.

.
After all the billions he paid to get to Aso Rock, you think he will bow down to the yearnings of the people?

Nigeria does not really need a peaceful protest
some leaders must die first before we can see the change this country deserves
any person holding a politcal office by virtue of election, appointment etc must be killed before Nigeria go better

Things are really bad.

A bucket of beans =9k

A ltr of fuel=#950

A cup of Rice =#500

A kilo of gas =#1300

A tuber of yam=7k

Not to mention beverages and toiletry those one nah die omoh.

And some are still glamoring for us to give Tinubu time? Time to do what exactly.
That man has no clue for governance. He's an over hyped nobody.

He fcked the entire country up. Such a crying shame to him.

So the Igbo’s think they are smart! They ignited this anti-Tinubu protest under the pretence of hardship protest online, after it has gained momentum online/offline, they left it to their useful idiots (Borrowing from Israel’s Netanyahu grammar book!) in the SouthWest and North to carry on, claiming they are not participating - rather watching as Nigeria goes into self destruction, so they (Igbo’s) can actualise their Biafra agenda effortlessly!

Igbo’s, very creepy human being! They caused the first coup in the 1960s (Nzeogwu & Co), removed regional government (Ironsi) that led to great prosperity, pushed until a civil war escalated then and end up claiming victim mentally!

The Minister of state is lying just like Tinubu imagine claiming that he has been to up to 500 protests in his life. So assuming he is 50 years old and started protesting at age 20, this means he is claiming to have been in 500 protest in 30 years which is approx 20 protest a year! Tell me how many protests occur in Nigeria each year on average.

Tinubu has to go! - there is no question about that; However, you need to forget Obi as he is also not the answer to our problems. We need a system that would produce our best candidates from primaries and a free, fair and transparent election for president.

It is very difficult to get a free and fair primaries in Nigeria, because the number is few and easy to bribe/influence. The voters at that level are all criminals who will no give heed to anything a good candidate wants to say if he will not load their pockets. But for general elections, we may perhaps be able to get a president that fits.

I mentioned Obi because I am yet to see that other politician who will really be up and about devoid of corrupt tendencies.

It is true in the current system, which needs to be overhauled , Perhaps a branch of INEC can run all party primaries and each party could be permitted to submit up to a maximum of 3 aspirants to contest the general election
