Bro, how long will your sort do this for? I.e insult people uncouthly because of your own, ignorance, prejudices and perhaps even ethno-religious hatred of others?

Did Tinubu (1) cause the problems of Nigeria, that meant we were at the edge of collapse when he took over, or (2) was that the faulf of all other Presidents before him who deliberately failed to do what was right to position Nigeria for optimal socio-economic growth and development?

If the answer to question 1 is no and yes for question 2, which the informed and educated world accept it is, then what part of the accepted maxim of fundamentally required reforms, the sort that can no longer be put off for later lest Nigeria collapse, causing temporary short term challenges do you not understand if an educated, reasonable and progressive adult?

I appreciate that you try to engage, I will like to point out that am a yoruba man, I don't believe in tribe or religion, I believe am entitled to good life,and that the government is duty bound to provide an enabling environment for me to achieve that, I also believe that aparo kan o ga jukan lo, I am not on earth to serve any human being, we are here to fulfil different assignments, each must deliver their roles appropriately, not using their roles to undermine or hurt others, that Tinubu is president today it pleases God to give him that assignment, its not a reason for him to see it as opportunity to oppress others
No to your other point, Nigeria is a going concern and was never about to collapse that is pure propaganda
The other presidents before Tinubu did far better than him that is why their indices are far better than that of Tinubu, the difference is that Tinubu is a reckless man, which was because of background, getting away with unimaginable risk that would have sunk others
2. Reforms or policies that yield possible fruits are reforms that are well thought out ,with all perspectives put into consideration, Tinubu's reforms is fault because it only considers the revenue generation aspects while ignoring the welfare of the people that will be negatively impacted,the policies were in bad faith and was intended to serve the elite,which is why the revenue generated are being used to service the elite while the people suffered
For example the revenue are being channel into buying yacht, limousines, renovation of Palaces for the rulers ,expensive suv for legislators, humongous salary for judiciary officers,all these were implemented within the first year
While the paltry minimum wage is yet to be fully implemented across board, for both workers and pensioners
He has no reasons to still keep the boarders closed ,if he really takes his job seriously because he would have reviewed the impact of the closure and would have discovered it created. More problems than achieved any success but he is more interested in politics any way that is his only strength
I have always wondered why you his supporters are not able to play a dual role 1. Of defending him and 2. Of giving him feedback, that may help him,although he is an extremely proud man may not listen

I guess the OP thinks everyone is as docile as their co tinubu cum APC supporters. You Want us to eulogize a president who talks about sacrifice due to his painful rudderless and self serving reforms, but lives in squandermania, tinubu tells Nigerians to endure pains and sacrifice, but moves with the longest presidential convoy in Nigeria if not Africa's history, his wife moves in the longest first lady's motorcade you can find anywhere in the world His ministers and appointees embark on wasteful adventures, tours and. Merrymaking at the detriment of the suffering pauperised masses. The OP in his manipulatively jaundiced writeup talked about previous leaders weaponizing , this to my consternation is a deliberate twist of facts as no leader has weaponized poverty and kept hungry Nigerian with dry throats looking for every available crumbs like tinubu expecially for self serving election purposes. Lee Kwan yeu of Singapore changed the narrative of his country from third world to first world by applying human, social welfare centred, pragmatic, solution oriented reforms.


This is not to mention the pocketing of state institutions for his selfish gains and the brazen insecurity that has made our farms a field of blood and has made poor farmers resort to starvation and death as they can't go to farm to get their daily breads.


You can keep calling black white by supporting the disastrous policies of this government but I believe the chickens will soon come home to roost

What are you saying? What is he planning? He is only moving all burdens from govt to the people! Buhari govt diminished our productivity and then was taking loans to offset the shortfall in productivity.. BAT is NOT increasing productivity but only refrained from taking as much loans to offset the shortfalls!
Except u can tell me hw productivity has increased since 2023... is it in agriculture where bandits have chased away the farmers or in crude oil exports where we still haven't been able to get back to 2.1mbpd we used to have in Jonathan's time.. or is it in manufacturing with factories closing down? Tell me!

What is reform --he removed subsidy--at the twilight of jonathan tenure, petrol @N87 had no subsidy.

You are too fast, bro.

If was a failed situation before now. If you say that he stopped GEJ from removing full subsidy only to do it himself, I will say, well, GEJ should have stood his ground. That is one mark of a true leader. GEJ was too emphatic. Sometimes, the masses do not need empathy. Just like a father handles a child, sometimes we need such handling.

The bulk of the mess you mentioned was not his doing. But even PMB tried in some areas. Now, we are talking about policies that will stimulate production. PMB handled military growth well. PBAT should focus on making those hard decisions that will position the nation. Another will come that will take it from there.

A more capable administrator like Adesina of the African Development Bank. Baba is not a manager. Baba is a fixer. A manager will come. Just wait and see. But 2027 is just too sure for PBAT.

Now that you are smarter than PBAT and his team, kindly educate us. Now, let's assume you become the President of Nigeria today, what will you do differently to steer the country to greater heights?

Educate those of us with very low IQ.

We are desperately waiting for your answers.

I didn't talk about trying to remove subsidy.. I'm saying there was no subsidy when petrol was N87.. goan check it out.. and I maintain that bat is not fixing much.. he is just redirecting d burden bearing from d govt to the people

Now give me the materials or documents, or whatever aided this decision or conclusion that there was no subsidy. Let me consume it too. Perhaps, afterwards, myself and others with low IQ who are fiercely supporting PBAT may be born again and follow you and your postulation. How about that?

As for Fulani bandits, I support your position. There seems to be a deliberate agenda to create hunger around the world. But we shall overcome. I will want you to revisit OBJ's Vision 2020. There was a problem that was raised therein. It was never addressed, and that is part of today's problem. I won't mention it. Go find out for yourself.

Then, you just addressed one sector. The agricultural and the agro allied sector. What exactly would you do about the economy?

the govt was paying subsidy when petrol was N97 in 2012. then oil price went down to about $60 in 2014 and then subsidy was about zero.. so govt was able to reduce to N87 with no subsidy when oil price further went down...

These are all cock n bull stories... N87 petrol under Jonathan (2015) was without subsidy! N142 petrol under buhari(2016) was without subsidy!
Exchange rate of N125 under Obj, 155-184 under jona was not depleting the foreign reserves rather the reserves were increasing. Investment in oil & gas was high in those years with daily production @2.1mbpd .. production now is less than 1.3mbpd.. hardly do u have new investments
So pls what exactly are we talking about?

There we go again with pedestrian arguments about price of this vs price of that.
Read international journals on experts' assessment of Nigerian economy.
Yes the reforms raised the cost of living which is why my first comment was for FG to balance it out over time. But the structural reforms are definitely laudable and assures sustainable devpt. Unlike the yoyo effect.
Obj saved, Jona depleted. Jona revenue rose, but couldnt pay salary in his penultimate year due to oil price drop. And production has been on decline ever since. None of them sat down to raise revenue with which they can influence GDP outside oil. Most previous growth is only backed by oil price rise.
Improved investment in offshore(iocs), onshore (by local firms)...that production rose from 900m to1.5mbp. Continued sanitization of the NNPC following PIA.
Like it or not Nigeria is becoming a modern economy backed by strong institution/market forces, rather than subject to whims of anybody occupying presidency. Fx rate market driven.Fuel price, nearly market driven. Tax generation, sytem driven (not subject to opaque tax breaks for selected few).Cbn policies, orthodox and predictable...
Coming years will be interesting.

Very intelligent discussion.

In all honesty this President has been the best and boldest President ever I dare say in Nigeria history. He has successfully laid the foundation and raised the bar upon which future presidents can develop.

I wonder why all past presidents didn't initiate these current reforms and policies taken now.. is it incompetence, fear, or what exactly?

I "wept" for long knowing Nigeria an OIL PRODUCING Nation don't have a functioning Refinery to refine its own oil, instead she export and imports at higher price.

True reforms have been tough on the citizens but the results have started coming in.

Okay, your polites and informative response is appreciated. Yet every issue you raised is still covered by the fact that self-destructive policies one President after the other endured with, to have an easy time in office and two terms, is responsiblr for the cumulative woes of Nigeria that left our nation on the edge of collapse when PBAT took over.

The many reforms that would have prevented Nigeria getting to this state and even see us near optimally developed today, had Obasanjo kick-started their delivery, is what Tinubu is now implementing.

Sure hardship and socio-economic challenges will ail Nigeria and Nigerians for a while but our nation and people will be much better off once reforms begin to turn around and reposition Nigeria for greatness. That is the truth.

What about the other arm of the question?


The price of petrol was fixed at N97 in January 2012 after the administration made an abortive move for the full deregulation of the downstream sector which initially saw petrol price rocket to more than N140 per litre. The move was challenged by a general uprising across the country led by the Occupy Nigeria movement which organised city shutdowns across some of the major cities in the country.

Consequently, the minister directed the Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency “PPPRA )and the Directorate of Petroleum Re­sources to, “ensure there is strict adherence to this new pricing regime as soon as it takes effect.”

So, which part exactly said that subsidies for PMS were fully removed as of the time of this article?

Point to the exact part of the publication. I dey wait.

I read for fun. So, bring any material and we will digest it together and then discuss.

Tinubu is by far the worst illegitimate president Nigeria ever had

I do not know if I should say this , or if this we are all seen the same thing.

I always wonder why is it that most Africans are short-sighted. Dem nor dey think long range. Na, just instant instant solution or satisfaction dem want.

But was that not exactly what previous administrations or regimes did? Give the masses bread so that they won't revolt whilst the nation was gradually rotten away. Why?

Because everybody wanted bread and nobody cared if the resources to keep the bakery running in the long run were being kept aside. Give me bread now! They yelled. How can we all be interested in the Nigeria project or be patriotic, if we do not take difficult decisions that will keep the bakery running?

And there are only a few men who have had the chest or courage to fix things. Many feared for their political career and chickened out along the way. But not these two geniuses.

When PBAT made alliances with the North to bring in PMB, I felt it was nonsense because I loved GEJ on the Economic side. Things were rosy, and we had bread on our tables.

My anger knew no bounds when PBAT came in and made some decisions that caused severe haemorrhage to my financial war chest. I feel am well well. I be small fry. So when the likes of dem Dangote dey feel am, you suppose understand wetin I mean.

But ten, I knew PBAT was the best president for this Season. We needed a Messiah who would cure the very foundation of the rot and not simply apply band aid. And it was then I understood why his first declaration was " subsidy is gone"!

His is a master of policies. His weapon?

Make the right policies, and the system will cure itself. Thus, I begin to wonder. How come Nigerians do not see that this genius is fixing the bakery?

The bakery is currently under maintenance and working below half capacity. There are also no resources to even bake bread, so we have to manage. But there is something PBAT needs to unleash in some sectors.

But let us all agree that PBAT, with his recent policies, is one of the best master planners in recent times.


PBAT is coming 2027.

There is nothing in this reforms that is a solution to Nigeria problem, it is a selfish act of the elite not meant to benefit ordinary Nigerians but themselves, just like I said the policies are meant to generate revenue for their use alone, so how is that to the advantage of Nigerians, you have failed to state it
Obasanjo cannot be put on the same pedestal as Tinubu, Obasanjo was a statement,while Tinubu is just an owambe, entiletled president
If it is the removal of subsidy and the devaluation of currency you are referring to as necessary actions to save the country, that it is incorrect, please do your research if you are unbiased you will discover these policies have never worked anywhere before, even BABANGIDA tried it before the results were negative as usual it took a long time and other presidents to ease the effects thesame is going to be with Tinubu if continues along this part, no results will be achieved until a new president comes to undo what he has done
These prescriptions are poisonous to the health of nations
Reason Nigeria is near comatose worst than before Tinubu took over
As a serious government you don't remove subsidies completely ,most developed nations subsidies one or multiple products depending on their needs,America subsidies agriculture, education, UK subsidies health, Education etc so for other countries
On currency devaluation such is reserved for producing nations who has products to export to drive their exports, not importing nations like ours
What a sincere government would have done is to block the leakage in forex by preventing speculators access to forex but make available in a controlled way for necessary transactions, in these case forex should not be available to politicians for use in primaries or for domestic purchases ,people must use naira to buy locally, then importation of fuel should be stopped outright, this would reduce demand for forex drastically and will help stabilise the naira
There are alternatives to the punishing policies but its unattractive to the policy makers because it will affect them, they prefer the other method of shifting burden to others why they bear nothing
Many of this policy makers stores dollars, pounds, euro ,under their beds to hide their loot,these are not meant for any productive purposes
The elite subsidies themselves while convincing the poor that they don't need subsidy
If we are able to refine locally, it will bring fuel prices down and reduced need for forex because the forex for fuel importation would have been saved, that would be like killing two beds with one stone but they will not do it because they have refineries abroad in Malta and the rest
So we have unpatriotic leaders disguising as reformers

His policies and reforms cannot do that immediately. If you can't accept this simple and valid macro-economic point then there is not much anyone can say to convince you of anything.

Most people will accept the global validity of my point which any AI platform you care to use supports to the extent many will cites Nigeria as an example.

This is because Nigeria happens to be one of the nations undertaking a multitude of the most fundamental and seismic reforms it must embrace due to decades of Presidents after Presidents putting off doing what would have been best for Nigeria and cumulatively made her great today rather than the near-failed nation she was when PBAT took over.

Assuming without conceding that Nigerians decided they want to make you the president of Nigeria today, please, tell us what you will do differently to make things work?

It's that simple.

Atleast you lead a family , a community, or leadership in any form of capacity and you understand what leadership means.

If you ain't married yet, which I doubt, you have a girlfriend you are leading in a relationship. So, you are a leader in some shred or capacity.

So, Oga take the mic and tell us what you will do differently, if Nigerians decide to make you their president this very minute.

We are waiting.

Which I have told u part of it..the FIRST function of govt is security of people.. all these terrorists in the north need to be totally annihilated.. the security agencies are not up and doing.. imo, if u dont put pple on their toes, they may not be responsible. The c-in-c needs to do that, sack when necessary, allocate more funds if necessary , deal decisively with corruption & fulani saboteurs in d security agencies... get d external help from mossad, CIA, US military if still absolutely necessary .
Next, the economy - people feeling secured helps here. Then create policies & enabling environment that encourage investment.. things like rule of law must be sacrosanct..corruption must be dealt with at the roots.. govt bureaucracies that stifle busineses must be removed, ensure a rapid power generation increase, shop for investors local and foreign to invest in the country's manufacturing sector cos a lot of import substitution needs to be done and the oil industry needs to have a roadmap to go back to 2.1mbpd!

Because everybody wanted bread and nobody cared if the resources to keep the bakery running in the long run were being kept aside. Give me bread now! They yelled. How can we all be interested in the Nigeria project or be patriotic, if we do not take difficult decisions that will keep the bakery running?

And there are only a few men who have had the chest or courage to fix things. Many feared for their political career and chickened out along the way. But not these two geniuses.

When PBAT made alliances with the North to bring in PMB, I felt it was nonsense because I loved GEJ on the Economic side. Things were rosy, and we had bread on our tables.

My anger knew no bounds when PBAT came in and made some decisions that caused severe haemorrhage to my financial war chest. I feel am well well. I be small fry. So when the likes of dem Dangote dey feel am, you suppose understand wetin I mean.

But ten, I knew PBAT was the best president for this Season. We needed a Messiah who would cure the very foundation of the rot and not simply apply band aid. And it was then I understood why his first declaration was " subsidy is gone"!

His is a master of policies. His weapon?

Make the right policies, and the system will cure itself. Thus, I begin to wonder. How come Nigerians do not see that this genius is fixing the bakery?

The bakery is currently under maintenance and working below half capacity. There are also no resources to even bake bread, so we have to manage. But there is something PBAT needs to unleash in some sectors.

But let us all agree that PBAT, with his recent policies, is one of the best master planners in recent times.


PBAT is coming 2027.

May your life and that of your family remain like Niger under SW president. Pls say amen to it as a prayer
