Is it Tinubu that kept Nigerians in poverty, is it not obi that kept Nigerians in poverty ?

Thoughtless parents and useless people brought their children to the world to come and enjoy their poverty.

If you are in poverty call your parents and ask them what they were thinking and if there was any forward plan. Most of you just came along uninvited when 2 idiots were just knacking each other.

Tinubu didn't create poverty for anybody. Go ask your parents!!!

That so called thug is the one ruling the whole 36 states and 774 LGA right?
May normal Nigerians never experience a day an obedient will ever rule this country. May it never happen forever, Ase.

let Satan and his demons that asked this question continue Biko

Pootle:
what are you saying what foundation, imagine an improvised state spending billions on airport and malls spending money on frivolities. you expect the federal power to spoon feed everyone.

we at the point to hold all councilors, chairman, state rep, fed house of rep, senators, governors more accountable for their job

You do make a strong point.

The problem is that governors may prefer physical projects that become their legacies when they leave office, than welfare schemes that may leave no footprint.

They prefer to build new fashionable schools than to upgrade the quality of education in the existing ones.

I have exactly the same question!

Go to the East too and almost everywhere in Nigeria poor wretched people are having babies they cannot feed, babies the country's economy cannot support and babies the country cannot afford!!!

Almajiris and stupidity everywhere!!!

FSBoperator:
Your type only know federal government and are never willing to hold the crooks you voted as governors.

It is your type that are defending the likes of Otti who is on record to construct the most expensive roads at 6bn per kilometer for a single lane asphalt road .

Same Otti has budgeted over 250 million to buy one photocopier machine but you will never say pim but when its the FG or any other state governor outside your SE we will see you pontificating

Remove Otti from your frustration.

He is not the reason your terrorists masters kill I62 people in your kwara state.

But if I give you invite, you will rush and leave Nigeria… ignorance and stoopidity made you not to know that government of any nation determines more than 65% of the economic welfare of her citizens… what’s the difference between Nigeria and china ?

Both countries are the most populous in their continent but where is Nigeria and Nigerians heading?

You no get talk…. Tinubu will complete his 8 years, don’t panic

Is Otti & the SE the color of your problems??

The central government policies directly affect the economic direction of any nation. Fuel subsidy removal, Naira floating, insecurity, and power supply collapse, all federal-controlled, are what landed us where we are today.

Since November last year, power supply in my area has been at its worst state ever. Power that now comes once in four to five days. Meanwhile we used to get an average power supply of 8 to 12 hours a day.

grandstar:
This is complete utter nonsense, considering what is on the ground.

The states can only build on the foundation the central government lays.

The truth is that Buhari ruined the economy and Tinubu is repairing it. Okonji-Iweala and Charles SDoludo have praised the reforms and the World Bank is now using Nigeria as a reference point.

When the economy is finally quite strong, then the states can make discernable differences in the life of the citizens.

Bruh, you think beyond common sense! I'm glad I found at least 1 person that has a good sense of reasoning on this post.....others just dey yap nonsense!

I see war...

You’re on point, my guy, but in this case of having a shortage of power supply, you should hold your state distributor responsible for it.

War is coming...

Is this to say the federal government is unable to prosecute the states?

So the FG is unable to provide the check and balance or force accountability and prosecute misappropriation and failure to met citizen KPIs?

How about the parts of the government for which the FG has exclusive rights over, how have they used that power?

Is the federal government really powerless against states?



If they are that powerless, what then is Nigeria's unity for? Doesn't the disadvantages (to the citizens in their respective states) now surpass the advantages? Where's the freedom, where's the right to self determination and personal integrity, where is the protection of the right to live?

Lamba

Tinubu harsh economic policies...Removal of fuel subsidy, devaluation of the naira that have brought ..high rate of inflation in every sector , naira to lose value, high costs of living, high costs of foodstuffs, goods and services, make businesses, companies, industries to struggle and many of them to close down which lead to high rate of unemployment which all this has increased poverty..so the federal government is to be blamed for high rate of poverty

Moderator101:
Nigeria’s poverty is the consequence of a population that keeps empowering failure.

Nigerians repeatedly vote for corrupt, incompetent, spineless characters and then act surprised when the country sinks deeper into ruin.

How, Just how on earth can you elect a man widely branded a drug peddler and street-level thug as president.

We want you to tell us the credentials of your state government and the LG chairman. We want to check something.

EyeCumInPeace:
The bulk stops at the table of FG.
They are the ones ultimately responsible for making policies that affect Nigerians.

It's their responsibility to identify the problem and profer solutions.

The FG is responsible for macroeconomic policies but the subnationals are responsible for microeconomic policies. So far the statistics show that the macroeconomy is improving but the complaints are that the impacts are not shown on the ordinary citizens . This is micro level. It means that the subnationals are not playing their part.

Tinubu was very dumb to have made all those policies without taking several factors into consideration.


Now, upon all the savings .ade from subsidies, he has taken the loans than any other past president.

He is not only corrupt, he is also dumb and insensitive.

They are busy implementing policies that are taking people deeper into poverty and this one is saying trash. Abeggi. The two policies that majorly destroyed people's finances was removal of subsidy without anything to cushion the effects and also destroying the naira by rendering it worthless against the dollar. Now he is is adding an ambiguous tax policy to it.
Many businesses will fold, more families will fall below the poverty line while politicians would have more money to fly prostitutes everywhere and give them tons of foot massages. Rubbish. Mm

I should rather be blamed

See this one oooo. What is our national income compared to China’s? Nigeria does not have the money or income to support 260m (and growing low IQ population). If you like cry till tomorrow’s na empty promises you go get. We are becoming dangerously overpopulated full of poverty stricken, poor, frustrated, ignorant, angry people
