But this shouldn't stop the President from lifting the economy now

Every President have a legacy project, we still struggling to see the legacy project of Baba

He has not performed better than any of our past leaders in all honesty else we want to just lie to ourselves

Our development is still slow paced or not even existing at all due to the current cost of living crisis

So what are really the gains?

This is a very shallow opinion, Tinubu is barely two years in office so is his headline Minister Wike, The crazy turnaround in infrastructure development in Abuja alone in just two years is a wonder, insecurity still an issue but not as frequent as it used to be and with the capture of high profile terrorists leaders recently maybe that may mark a turnaround in the fight against insecurity, the dollar exchange rate has stabilized, no more fuel queues, external reserve is stable and rising, even after the Almighty okonjo iweala gave her verdict you guys are still foolishly critical, however I do agree that Tinubu needs to do better in terms of citizens welfare which is currently very poor.

You can never hear a true son of the land say I'm Yoruba Muslim or I'm Yoruba Christian. In this part of the nation our identity as Yoruba comes first before religion, that's why you see we are religious tolerant with one another.
I'm a Christian and I have family that are Muslims, so you telling me to hate my family cause of religion or politics. It doesn't work that way here....

Ten years ago with nothing to show for it. Now that someone finally wants to get it done, we should not credit him but give credit to the person that conceived the idea ten years ago but did nothing to actualize the idea. Just listen to yourself and see how ridiculous you sound.

Are you guys so eager to point fingers that you forget that the last ten years have been APC? ? ? ? ?
That project was only launched at the tail end of the GEJ Govt. I was conscious because I was invited to invest.

In 2 years meaning the rapid devaluation of the naira and the economic hardship and the unplanned and arrogant removal of subsidy and the devaluation of the currency without considering the implications?

okay agreed some cant be completed in four years like this lagos- calabar coastal highway but atleast eight years is enough for any serious work ministry to complete most of the projects.

It has stabilised but the naira is weak and it has killed the purchasing power of Nigerians. You people should fear God and speak truth. Okonjo Iweala also said that the government should work on the economy to create jobs and create a social safety net. You mischievously did not mention that statement that she made as well.
The funny Irony was in less than 2 years, you people criticised GEJ to the highest heavens. Now you are making excuses for Tinubu. Your hypocrisy is really visible to the blind.

YOU don't have to love him for him to win the election in 2027, you didn't love him yet he won in i 2023. Victory is certain more in 2027 than it was in 2023, God himself has chosen Tinubu, you can keep wailing.

It is clear that Nigerians want food. For bow, most aren't demanding for good housing, healthcare, and well-being. But they also don't realise that good infrastructure precedes affordable quality food. These projects should have been there a long there, but they kept on embezzling. Even now, they are still.

Well, the president we need now may not be a first class brain or a perfect one because the bar for the Aso Rock is too low. As of today, the man who can continue with this pace of Tinubu's infrastructure development, or even beat it. Then, the person must invest heavily in food security. The irony is that if one can easily see for decades the evidence of infrastructural development because they are assets, but food production is over 90% expense. So, if you decide to loot most of the money, you are finished.

Staple food production - rice, beans, corn, Millet, sorghum, cassava, yam, etc must be in abundance. We must provide for at least 300million people and even have surplus before we can say that we have a super food security.

But to achieve the above, corruption must be tackled. The man who will do it will step on toes and we are playing democracy and politics.

Which way to go Nigeria?

A beg...make Tinubu finish his 8 years and continue all his projects. Thisbis my view because I ahev not seen anyone who can curb corruption. And it is essentially the next demon we must conquer to move forward. Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso, El Rufai, Amaechi, Wike, Makinde, Shetimma, Uzo Kalu, etc.

The only person who comes to my mind that can stand against corruption and crush it is Ngozi Iweala. She has the mind to stop it, but I am not sure if she has the energy needed. If Akiluyi (the late NAFDAC boss) was alive, he would have been my first choice assuming she still had the same attributes as the person who led NAFDAC.
