Your state governor is getting more money under Tinubu administration. No state governor in Nigeria is struggling to pay civil servants again. There was a time a lot of states couldn't afford to pay civil servants
The economic mechanism of Nigeria is not being control by the states government nor by the senators, but by the executive with the collaboration of minister of finance, governor of Central Bank and the Nigeria custom, you can only tell me to question my state governor about lack of infrastructures, so Mr man you got that wrong. angry

He is banking on riging, which is why he doiesn't care about the people he is supposed to be leading!

Is Obi not your candidate for presidency? So, why should I leave him out of the discussion? He came 3rd in2023 and he has said he would contest again in 2027 so he is relevant.
When the election is over, governance begins

Tinubu is president

Don't distract yourself with Peter Obi

State can pay salary then if not corruption, on the other hand; the same civil servants are the one deliberately raising memo to the move monies to private account.

This is what they call sincere leadership

Tinubu removed:

1.) Petrol subsidy
2.) Tertiary education subsidy
3.) Electricity tariff subsidy

and many other subsidies and also increased import tariffs, yet Nigeria is broke and facing one of the worst economic situation ever.



They keep telling Nigerians to be patient and give them more time.


Trump was only sworn in January 2025 while Tinubu was sworn in June 2023.


Nigeria really entered a one-chance angry
Buhari started the destruction, while Tinubu seems to have finally bury it.

These guys has no interest of masses at heart, they made the country hell for an average citizen, while they keep using the gain of the pain to finance their political career and keep the rest for their generations.

The country is mess up already, the alternative in opposition is nothing to write home about too. The only viable option for us is true federalism where each region will embrace new constitution that will align with 21st century reality of modern society.

So Trump is now giving Trump bucks. lol.
Any idea when Tinubu will give Tinubu Nairas from the $84 billion subsidy savings huh


TimeManager:
The Federal Government has revealed that the elimination of the petrol subsidy under President Bola Tinubu has resulted in savings of over $84 billion, which are now being channelled into the construction and rehabilitation of 40 key road projects across the country over the past two years.

This was disclosed in a policy brief released by the National Orientation Agency (NOA), titled “Two Years Later: Key Benefits of Subsidy Removal,” and made available to journalists over the weekend in Abuja.

The report, which reviewed the outcomes of the subsidy removal since May 29, 2023, noted that the policy averted a looming economic crisis.

It also enabled the Tinubu administration to clear long-standing financial liabilities, increase capital investments, and support the financial stability of state governments.

Tinubu’s federal government alone gets 53% of the jointly owned federation account.

36 states share just 27% among themselves.

774 LGAs share 20% among themselves, which they are paid directly since last year.

What is the logic of leaving Tinubu and his singular lion share, to focus on the crumbs of the states huh

LG autonomy: Let restructuring follow – Bode George to Tinubu

“I also read President Bola Tinubu’s statement hailing the verdict and talking about restructuring. I want to advise the President that he must go further because what Nigerians want is a complete overhaul of the polity.

Why did you fail to convince your own senators and representatives since 1999 to make federalism part of the five amendments to the constitution huh

No, law makers can't enact thqt aspect of constitution or overhauling it, it is responsibility of a deciding leaders, stake holders, elder statemen and ethnic group to agitate for it. Once there is collective force, and we have deciding leaders to actualize it, we will do it with ease.
Re: Trump To Issue $2,000 Tariff Dividend To All Americans by DrWokili:
UNLIKE IN NIGERIA, TRUMP IS A PRESIDENT WHO GAUGES THE PULSE OF HIS PEOPLE AND REACTIVELY ALIGNS HIS POLICIES TO KEEP HIS PEOPLE IN A HEALTHY AND WEALTHY STATE! IT IS THIS TYPE OF A LEADER THAT NIGERIA LACKS SINCE INDEPENDENCE. EVEN THOUGH THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE COMPARATIVELY ANGELS, THEY DID NOT STILL MEASURE UP TO THE REQUIRED STANDARD OF NATIONAL PATRIOTISM, AND ALL OF THEM WERE PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY REGIONAL POLITICS AND ALLEGIANCE.

THE SO-CALLED LEADERS WHO TOOK OVER FROM THEM BECAME PROGRESSIVE MISLEADERS WHO PROUDLY WEAR GARMENTS OF CORRUPTION WITH GREED AS THE DECORATIVE ORNAMENTS. SADLY, THE QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP PROGRESSIVELY DEPRECIATES FROM REGIMES TO DATE, DESPITE SERIAL DISCOVERY OF NEW NATURAL RESOURCES THAT COULD HAVE CHANGED THE ECONOMIC NARRATIVES OF THE CITIZENS.

NIGERIA NEEDS A LEADER LIKE TRUMP WHOSE TRUMPETTY POLICIES WILL UNAPOLOGETICALLY TRUMPET THE INTERESTS OF THE CITIZENS. THE SERVANT LEADER SHOULD HAVE THE COURAGE TO JAIL ANYBODY WHO BREAKS THE LAW, WHETHER THE PERSON IS AN EMIR, BISHOP, SHEIKH, OBA, OBI, BUSINESS TYCOON, EX-PRESIDENT, OR A POOR PERSON. THE SUPREMACY OF THE LAW SHOULD BE PARAMOUNT IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES. UNTIL WE HAVE SUCH A SELFLESS AND DEDICATED LEADER, THE CHARADE CALLED GOVERNANCE WILL CONTINUE TO FLOURISH IN NIGERIA.

Ofunaofu:
But here, after removing the subsidy and claiming to have surpassed its revenue target, the Tinubu-led APC regime, instead of paying dividends, is inflicting untold hardship, hunger, and starvation on Nigerians, plundering resources, siphoning funds, and engaging in mindless borrowing to pay defectors into the APC.
.....and you forgot to add the wicked taxes.
Re: Trump To Issue $2,000 Tariff Dividend To All Americans by lionshare: 9:54am On Nov 10, 2025
Ofunaofu:
Can you compare the value of the minimum wage under the Jonathan administration with that of the current minimum wage under Tinubu?
By value, I mean what the minimum wage can actually afford in terms of purchasing power.

The reason the Tinubu administration isn’t celebrating the increase in the minimum wage from 30,000 to 70,000 as a major achievement is that it would highlight how poorly the economy has been managed. It will be ian indictment of the government’s performance, given the widespread hardship, rising hunger, and growing poverty.

You can’t remove fuel subsidies, devalue the naira to the point of near worthlessness, and raise the pump price of fuel from below N200 per litre to around 1,000 naira along with the resulting increase in transportation costs, inflation, and food prices and then turn around to boast about giving more money to state governors or claim that they no longer owe salaries. It simply doesn’t make sense.
Why avoid answering the question? Do you prefer we return to the days when governors owed workers months of unpaid salaries just because, according to you, it was fashionable? This is the most absurd thing I’ve read all month—that owing workers is somehow trendy. If I ever hold power, it will be a criminal offense to owe any worker—public or private, including contractors or gig workers. Even employers who invite a million candidates to interviews must pay every person they invite. I don’t understand why 20–30 people are called to fill a single position; if payment were required, they would be much more selective.

Re: Trump To Issue $2,000 Tariff Dividend To All Americans by Onewazobia(m): 10:40am On Nov 10, 2025
Ofunaofu:
The reason governors are no longer owing salaries isn’t because they are receiving significantly more funds. Rather, it’s simply because it’s no longer fashionable to owe salaries in today’s Nigeria, where the 70,000 naira minimum wage can barely afford a single bag of rice. In contrast, under previous regimes, that a minimum wage could buy at least two bags of rice, with some change left to purchase other essentials. So what is there to owe?

You can’t compare the value of the money governors used to receive before Tinubu grabbed, snatched, and ran away with power to what they receive today. Yes, they are receiving more in naira terms, but the value of that money has depreciated by over 400 percent.

For instance, before Tinubu assumed office, a kilometer of road could be built for less than 200 million naira Today, under his administration, the same kilometer costs about 1 billion and or more, in some cases, as much as 7.5 billion naira per kilometer, as seen in the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway project.
See the diverted reason just because you want to refute progress, na wa oooo
E sure no easy to lose election

Says an ignorant person that doesn't know the present state of America. This one is finding saving grace after all their losses last week. $2,000 that cannot buy anything with inflation and high cost of goods due to his bad policies. The worst president in the history of America.
