I believe you should known that the cheap fuel that the government have been giving to her citizens is what brought us here.

80% of Nigerians don’t work in as much as they’re are seeing fee things to make off.

Another politically motivated white 🐘 project: a conduit pipe for siphoning public fund. Pls deal with the issues of hunger and insecurity first before embarking on this 2027 campaign project
Simple Maslow theory of need this government cannot apply: Basic needs before secondary and tertiary needs. Implying that hungry and insecure Nigerian are not motivated (elated) with this news. The government should stop being delusional: this is not the kind of news that can endear this administration to the already disenchanted citizens. Just a little improvement on the living standard of people will do

How old where you between 1979 to 1983?
Some of you supporters of APC think that everyone is foolish.
What has APC done in Benue ever since the State's soul was sold to the devilish party in 2023, your state remains one of the most underdeveloped, poor, war ravaged, with numerous IDP camps littered here and there. Is this how good APC is to you?
What did Jonathan and PDP did about it?

Aside the Shagari government, no other government has done well in infrastructure than the APC government. This is no sentiments. Those who witnessed the Shagari government will attest to this. The major road and other infrastructure we have in this country today were built during the Shagari government. Only APC government and in clear terms Tinubu has performed well in infrastructure.
aside the Shagari government?
Which infrastructure projects can you point to that Shagari started and completed

please stop misinformation

The military government did the most in terms of infrastructure
Especially Gowon ,Obasanjo and IBB

At the end of the civil war there was no express road in the whole of Nigeria
The military is responsible for
MMA airport Lagos
National stadium Lagos
PH Enugu Express road
PH Airport
National Theatre
10004 Estate
Festac Town
Upgrades to Apapa ports
Lagos Ibadan expressway
Benin Sagamu
Abuja
The premier federal universities
Some project s were handed over to Shagari half completed or almost completed like Unity Schools

Shagari is not noted for infrastructure but incompetence and corruption

He cemented our dependence on imported rice

And the successor will reap bountifully from the sacrifices this administration made to lay a solid foundation.
I totally agree with you.
I hope they will be humble and sincere enough to acknowledge that fact then.

"great improvement" where?

what is the "great improvement" in electricity road construction, health care and education?

what is wrong with paying fuel subsidy?

the person who was using crude to pay fuel subsidy, was he not the one that tinubu said was the "only solution"?
Can Nigeria afford fuel subsidy payment? If was sustainable,why didn't Buhari make provision for the whole year in 2023 appropriation Act? Do you think a reasonable investor would bring his money into our oil sector if government still dictates the price through subsidy payment?

Abeg wetin be light rail pls?

I don't really know it. Am honest. Thank you.

Kano has no business running a light rail NOW. The residents cannot afford it and therefore it'll be hugely subsidised causing the government to struggle to pay off the loan.

3. what is wrong with paying fuel subsidy?

Kano needs an SGR between Lagos and Kano, and not a light rail system that Kano cannot afford. Tinubu is only interested in re-election; he has nothing to offer Nigeria and Nigerians.

This was exactly what I said a few months ago. Preach PBAT's works and policies to the people. Most Nigerians have been poisoned not to like him already.They failure to sleep last night or have a proper shit this morning is because of PBAT.

Do try to convince them. Just show them that the man is doing the job even if you do not like him.

You do not have to like or love PBAT. Nobody send you that one. Is he doing the job of the President as it should be?

That is the question to be considered.

Is he repositioning the country to become a better and prosperous nation in another 10, 15, 20 years? If the answer is yes,, I do not care if go hungry today. Cos my children will eat good tomorrow.

That is what we should all be looking out for.
Building a light rail in a state that has more than 4 million children out of school is stupid. Lagos built it light railway using its resources. The federal government should complete the Ibadan to Kano SGR to support freight nd people.

Its now obvious that Tinubu is scared that he will lose in 2027.

Can you please list the infrastructures you think Tinubu Government have put in place? People are dying in large numbers because of high cost of living and medical services.

There's a conflict here
There are those applogists who say it's not govt responsibility to feed its citizens
There's are folks like you who believe govt will feed your children after starving you
Only one of the two is being deceived
You missed the exact point. No one is expecting govt to feed them. Govt never see chop na. They only expect govt to create an enabling environment for them to succeed in life. That's all.

Is a light rail necessary in Kano state? I really don’t think so.
This was conceived in 2016 under Ganduje as a PPP project. Tinubu has merely agreed to release the funds, perhaps government's own counterpart sum, for it construction. The right thing to do IMO.
