You know one thing I have learnt about Tinubu and his supporters, they hate facing reality, they love wishful thinking and love to live in self deception...

Do you know In 2025 Tinubu and his economic team projected a total estimate of 40 trillion in total revenue expectations for Nigeria in the 2025 budget, as at December 2025 they had only achieved 10 trillion with a gap of 30 trillion, they also had to borrow 14 trillion which has added to Nigeria's debt to help the revenue to achieve some of the budget expenses which means the 2025 budget as I am talking to you has not been implemented up to 50 percent which is why they have planned to keep running it till I think May 2026.


Now you will think oh! that's where it ends but you are wrong, the same thing is happening for the 2024 budget also as I am talking to you, the 2024 budget under Tinubu's government is still running in this 2026 just like the 2025 own, the whole of 2025 passed and they could not round up the one for 2024.


So currently Nigeria is running 3 budgets at the same time(2024, 2025 and 2026), yet around October 2025, Tinubu announced to the world that Nigeria had met the total revenue generation for 2025 which was supposed to be 40 trillion as at August, while the Finance minister Wale Edun maybe out of shame or just trying to correct the erroneous statement said that Nigeria had only met 10 trillion out of the 40 trillion projected and even had to borrow 14 trillion to help the budget.


Tinubu's government is like a student who is in 300 level but has been having so many carry overs from 100 level which might eventually see him having an extra year or years or even dropping out but keeps telling his parents and friends that he has a clean sheet and in fact is the best student in his department, Tinubu is actually running Nigeria slower than every previous government since 1960 with highest debt ever, he has actually broken that record

The same El-rufai that Tinubu assigned to answer questions about insecurity in Chattam house for Tinubu and you praised him, the same Malami that arrested MNK and you people praised for trying to spite the Igbos with that, see hypocrisy now...

You call my write up load of trash yet can't dispute anything there with fact because you have nothing to say

Nigeria is now chasing after validation from the Worldbank and IMF when the reality on ground speaks otherwise. How has the Worldbank-inspired policies been working for the country? We had 30 trillion budget deficit in 2025 (a revelation that cost the Finance Minister his job) and are currently implementing 3 consecutive budgets despite Tinubu having borrowed the most than all previous presidents with no commensurate projects to show. The Worldbank will always stay happy as long as you devalue your currency when asked to do so and continue to borrow from them.
If the world bank has said otherwise you would have accepted it.

Empirical evidence is showing that the reforms are turning out positive. A comparison of real life activities for 2024 and 2025 clearly show so. Haters will privately accept this. I look forward to 2026 being better than 2025.

Beyond statistics, go to the open market. Talk to the populace. I'm well schooled in finance and economics but beyond this what I do bring me closer to various groups - professionals, salary earners, traders, youths, children etc. Definitely there is upswing in economy by end of 2025 relative to 2024. It is expected that the same trend will continue in 2026. The reforms are maturing.

Please can you explain?
I am more than happy to indulge you. But before I do, I need to be sure that you have a baseline understanding of when someone's dream is a cancer to the society.

What do you understand by that to start with?

I promise I will answer your question - but before I do, just demonstrate that you know the basis for me asserting that Obi's dream is a cancer!

You made an assertion, and I asked you why you made it, if I knew, would I be asking you why?

Then you are here telling me that I should tell you the basis for your assertion before you tell me the reason for your assertion, If I knew it, would I have asked the question in the first, it is because I don't know your reason or basis for your assertion, that's why I asked you...

So what is the problem here? I hope I'm talking with someone who is mentally balanced?

If there is ever a question regarding anyone's sanity, it should be you not me. Anyone with a modest grasp of intelligence would recognise there are two different questions: you are asking why I believe someone's dream is a cancer and I am asking if you even know what cancer mean in the context!

If you don't understand the meaning of cancer, how would my explanation make sense to you. Hope you have the mental bandwith to follow?

So you only want the meaning of cancer, no wahala, that's the meaning below, oya answer my question, how is Peter Obi's presidency a cancer to Nigeria?

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Thank you - this would have solved the problem long time ago!

Obi's dream is a cancer that must not be allowed to fester for three reasons:
1. Lack of Spine: At no point has Obi shown leadership to take charge of anything. The list of examples is long, but Kenneth Okonkwo and Datti have done excellent jobs chronicling this. He vacillates on issues and that's a danger.

2. Lack of antecedents: Every leader is a trumpet of their achievements. All, but with one notable exception - Peter Obi. He has never told us what he did, but what they do in China and Bangladesh. Let's go verify. Because he's got nothing to show!

3. Complete Idi0t: He is just a complete idi0t in my view by trying to portray humility. Always serving food at parties, stopping at the road to control traffic etc. These are nonsense optics NOT a sign of leadership for a complex country like us with international responsibility for Sub-Saharan Africa. How would you feel if your President is Kowtowing to other world leaders or serving them drinks at events? Or you think he won't do that? LOL!

All these in my view makes his dream a cancer to our society - it must be nipped in the bud and never allowed to rear its ahead as it will lead us to disaster. Now that I have said these, can you tell me which of my grounds you fault and your reasons for that?

You brought Obi into the matter when Obi is not even the president and has nothing to do with governing, go back and read the topic of this page by the OP and see who the topic concerns, are you saying Tinubu is a useless president or is not responsible for anything happening in Nigeria?

You already blamed Peter Obi's performance as president even when you have not experienced it and used that as a yardstick to hate on him and reject his presidency but you are currently experiencing Tinubu colossal failure as president but still support him and want him for a second term, does that look like what a normal person does?

Quite a lot mumbling and tumbling of words with the least intellectual effect. Are you even on the right intellectual pedestal to reasonably and dispassionately analyse issues?

Where did I blame 'Peter Obi's performance as President....'? That I consider Obi's dream a cancer does not mean I [b]hate [/b]him in person - [b]No! [/b]I do not remember ANYWHERE I mentioned Tinubu on this thread. Bar none. I might be wrong, but point it to me. My claim is very specific: Peter Obi's dream is a cancer to Nigeria and we must never allow his hope to rule this country to even rise. It will consume us all if no nipped in the bud at the earliest opportunity. Clear, specific and targeted allegation.

And the reason for our chat is that you asked my why I believe Peter Obi's dream is a cancer. And I answered you with specific points. No mention of Tinubu or Atiku or RMK. Just Obi bashing. Any man endowed with functional intellect would disprove my allegations on why he thinks I am wrong, isn't it? So again, let's put Peter Obi in the witness box and tell us why he's dream will benefit us if you think he is worth it.

You are saying if Peter Obi becomes president it will consume Nigeria, I mean you are already judging him when he hasn't even become president but you are refusing to judge the one who is currently president who is destroying the country and yet still throwing support for him to continue.

If I call u a mad man now, you will say I am insulting you ...

LOL - at the end of the day, you cannot defend your Peter Obi. If he is not worthy of your defence, why should I even take this further? You say Tinubu is bad, and let's even agree that is true, what options do we have?

If Peter Obi is the right option, why are you shitting in your pants to defend him? To tell us that his Presidency will bode well for Nigeria?
