DeepSight:Hope you know that Human development index in the West Bank is much higher than that of Nigeria and life expectancy in Gaza (74 years) is still far higher than in Nigeria. The real genocide I see is happening in your country. Anyway let's fight for Gaza. 1 Like |

Tinubu government and administration and his economic policies and reforms does not benefit the poor.. putting the poor people more into poverty, hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living, high rate of unemployment... |

Ibehchizzy:Less than 29 million Nigerian votes were counted. The majority of Nigerians are too ignorant to vote. So their votes are counted for them. You can't have democracy in a country where the majority are illiterate. 1 Like |

[quote author=badaru911 post=136385570]... You are also part of the 90% whether you be Apc shit supporters or not... YESSSS ohhh!!!. But it gets annoying when the APC youths continue to think every criticism against the government has to be robustly defended because NA OUR MAN MAN DEY THERE". Meanwhile, they are even MORE AFFECTED. I pity those who ENJOYED THE BRIEF "WIFI BLAZING, AC PUMPING, JOLLOF RICE STEAMING",without that those few CREATURE COMFORTS are their EVERYDAY RIGHTS.🤪😜. 1 Like |

Nigerians have not yet woken up. Things may still get radically worse in the coming years. Nigerians need to start focusing on the policy promises of politicians rather than their tribe or their religion. Nigeria is relatively rich in resources but its people are amongst the poorest in the world. Even poor landlocked countries in Africa have citizens living better than Nigeria. IQ maps of the world show that west Africans have the lowest IQ on earth. This isn’t indicative of our individual educational abilities but our inability to solve collective problems. The irony is clear seeing that the highest rate of educated immigrants in America are Nigerians, yet in Nigeria, rather than have power stations, everyone has a generator set, rather than have water treatment plants, everyone has a well or a borehole. The solutions to Nigeria’s problems include raising taxes on properties, imported cars, clothes and phone and spending the generated money on public education. Taxes need to be raised to reduce the pressure on the naira. This is the solution in my view. 1 Like |
