Best president ever.

After you sniffed life out of the poor in the name of taxes? What's there to brag about? What economic policies of this administration favors the poor?
What welfare package is cushioning the strangulation called tax?

This man should park well abeg! Bragging about states not borrowing to pay salary in a country where electricity is like gold and security is basically nonexistent.

" Economy has turned the corner" - Alhaji Tinubu aka "Na statistics we go xhop"

Corner to where exactly?

Our economy under Tinubu looks like a Formula 1 car... Always turning the corner

watchindelta:
Fasting and lying 🤥. Religion is a joke. They use it to fool someone people.

try to check the fact. Before you comment

See as them dey comment here as if Tinubu will see your comment here. Una never ready for anything..

But he is borrowing to loot Nigerians?
This people has loot the Nation dry.

helinues:
Anyone still hating on the administration of president Tinubu might live with the hatred for the rest of his life.

Hatred? Or rather waiting for it to hit y'all that the emperor is naked and has no new clothes.

Data boy has turn around the cor🌽er.
Agbado for a reason.
Because of 30k stipends in Amitekun this guy has lost his sense of judgement.
Ask him why is he borrowing or why is he buying governor's? In order to rig next election.
He will still fail woefully.

What a foolish president. Is this something you brag about? A useless god of brainless followers.

You are rubbing Peter to pay Paul. You are putting masses in extreme poverty to satisfy governors and to fund your expensive lifestyles and retain power. It's clear even to the blind

Yes but they are borrowing to loot instead using it for projects that will benefit their people.

We should never have been borrowing to to pay salaries in the first place. If a state needs to do that, then it needs to reduce its overbloated workforce.

ekukeku:
Na y u have d all governors on ur side
Na dem dey enjoy
just for ur political selfishness

That was the objective.
That they 'can pay salaries' is the public sideview.
The real objective was political control.

If not, the biggest determinant of a nation's prosperity remains in the hands of the Federal government through policies that affect the macro economy and in a system such as ours where the states are not true federating units, it just smacks of 'giving fishes to eat instead of fishing nets'.

For what is the essence of the ability 'to pay salaries' when federal government induced inflation renders it meaningless. Look at gasoline prices today. What can the states do...nothing. Who can mitigate the inflationary shocks...the Federal government...

COMPAQ:
We should never have been borrowing to to pay salaries in the first place. If a state needs to do that, then it needs to reduce its overbloated workforce.

This is exactly what good leadership will have done as a better solution.
Help states restructure their finances. Reduce their costs while helping them invest properly so they can increase income.

But there is nothing about this 2023 -2017 government that shows leadership by example. Nothing about them shows an economy in austerity...well except the inability to execute the capital side of the budget, the side that helps the public.

Paying salary no be achievement

Exousiang01:
Please mention one governor that is borrowing to pay salaries....

If you cannot understand the simple statement the president just made, how is it the presidents fault that you lack the capacity to grow financially.
It takes intellect to make money.
Something you have no idea of

You children don't even know where we are coming from.
There was a time in this country that governors owe 10 months salaries, they run around borrowing money here and there to pay salaries.
You are one of those who dont know anything about the country aside being an Obidient


I want to believe you are a youth between age 18 and 35.
Na una no dey think.

You obviously didn't know your dollar was subsidized.
You didn't know petrol was subsidized
You also didn't know that floating the naira meant removing subsidy from the dollar sam way subsidy was removed from the petrol.

You didn't know that when such is done we begin to operate in reality.
Nigerians were not living a real life.
Fake dollar rate, fake fuel prices.
But you are too ignorant to know that.

Agreed, but why didn't Tinubu allowed Jonathan did it during his time. He was visibly against it and fought against it. So what changed today

There isn’t a single perfect indicator, but political scientists and historians generally agree that the most determinant factor of a bad government is how it treats the rights, welfare, and accountability to its citizens. In practice, several key signs reveal whether a government is bad or not.
Here are the most important factors 👇
1. Lack of Accountability
If leaders cannot be held responsible for their actions, governments tend to become abusive.
Examples include:
Rigged elections
No independent courts
Media censorship
Leaders staying in power indefinitely
Countries scoring poorly on measures like the Democracy Index or Freedom in the World Index often show this pattern.
Why it matters:
Without accountability, corruption and abuse grow unchecked.
2. Violation of Human Rights
A government becomes clearly harmful when it systematically violates the basic rights of its people.
Examples:
Torture or arbitrary detention
Suppressing protests
Discrimination against minorities
International groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch monitor these abuses.
3. Widespread Corruption
When public officials use power for personal gain rather than public service.
This includes:
Bribery
Embezzlement
Nepotism
Corruption levels are measured by the Corruption Perceptions Index produced by Transparency International.
4. Failure to Provide Basic Public Goods
A government is failing if it cannot provide essential services such as:
Security
Infrastructure
Healthcare
Education
Organizations like the World Bank and United Nations track these development indicators.
5. Suppression of Opposition
A government becomes dangerous when it does not allow peaceful disagreement.
Signs include:
Arresting opposition politicians
Controlling elections
Banning political parties
Healthy governments allow criticism without punishment.
✅ In summary:
The most decisive factor is whether citizens can hold their leaders accountable and keep their basic rights. When those disappear, corruption, repression, and poor governance usually follow.
💡 A simple rule many scholars use:
If citizens cannot peacefully change their leaders or criticize them without fear, the government is likely bad.

Your assertion is grossly screwed.

As 3 tier democracy, any income are meant to be CONSTITUTIONALLY SHARED by all tiers of government - FG, STATES, LGs.. so what do you mean by “putting masses in poverty to satisfy governors”. The President is doing the RIGHT THING.

May I ask who is your state Governor?
What development have your Governor been doing in your state?

See Governors like Otti, Mba, Sanwa-Olu, Gov Sheriff, my state gov Okphebolo, Akwa Ibom Gov, etc.. these Govs have been doing FANTASTIC WORKS their citizens have been praising them.

HOLD YOUR STATE GOVTS RESPONSIBLE, THE FG HAS BEEN PLAYING THEIR PART BY DISTRIBUTING FUNDS AS CONSTITUTIONALLY REQUIRED.

I can’t wait for State Police to come to effect and you’ll see further improvements.

Get Informed pls!

HacheNoire:
One of the great accomplishments of the administration of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Putting States on prudent financial appropriations was a big goal and win for states.

if no be state Head dey pain una for Tinubu camp, how is state not owing salary be an achievement considering the value of the salary

Is it just about collecting salary or what you can do with the salary .. considering the state of economic and inflation rate

with the present oil crisis .. transport fare going up imagine how much workers we spend out of there salary what we remain

70k fuel cant full my Tank, how much is salary

What does this govt have to show for the bogus amount received into the federation account and so much from loans? pls let's discuss intellectually

SuperEagles:
Let us be clear, own your suffering if you are suffering. How many Nigerians have been to your house to tell they are suffering or do you mean you have not seen Nigerians buying cars n building houses around your vicinity ?

So if you are suffering in silence speak out before hunger pai you. Stop generalising your poverty on Nigerians, proclaim your suffering within your father's household that is the only place any suffering is going on not anywhere else.

This guy no get brain at all

geoworldedu:
Stop talking like you are not observant or you don't live in the country to know the truth. Generally, standard of living in Nigeria has turned dramatically low. Everything in Nigeria is at its worst ebb as we speak.

Don't mind them.
Failed citizens always looking up or down. They cannot look sideways or far.

He saw a few houses being built and concluded on the economy as a whole.

If the world was that ignorant your President.that went around cap in hand for loans will not have been given anything haven arrived in a newly acquired presidential jet. They will equally assumed that Nigeria was well to do since their leader can afford new digs.

Xscape1993:
Sometimes I ask myself if this man is truly a Nigerian. He talks like someone who comes from another planet.

That means you can’t relate with his talks, and that’s understandable. You are not the millions of other Nigerians. I am sure your state Governor will relate with what he said here.

1vandragon:
Lol.

As usual, bat is being clever by half. Trying to soundbite so as to cover other glaring incompetences. A man that has borrowed more money than 3 administrations combined.

What is the value and pp of the money you are bragging about? As at today, almost 40% of government workers at federal level are yet to receive salaries.

You are owning wage awards of over 2 years

You are owing promotion arrears of 3 years.

N18k in 2014 had more value and purchasing power than N70k today.

Wage awards of just two months. Forget about promotion arrears

floss:
Assuming he can brag with

“For the past 24 months now, there’s no report of bandits or terrorists raping and molesting Nigerians and Nigerian military “

I would’ve helped him spread the gospel of his administration…

But Tulumbu and his robots prefer having governors sing his praise due to their improved personal monthly allocation while insecurity is destroying Nigeria.

ask ur self why the previous President can defeat banditry and terrorism.

You're just spewing trash. Is the federal government not borrowing to offset bills, both for the state and local government level? So, what's he actually saying? Borrowing is borrowing at all levels. It doesn't matter who borrowed.

But it is True na !
Or is that debatable again,for some things are as clear as glistening ornaments, unless you want to be fake 🤥!
All the Governors- have More Money in their States Cover-unlike,when they were Borrowing to pay Salaries.
Same for your Senators and House of Reps Members,
For Example, Senator has N2- Billions As A CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS Money 🤑💰,
House of Reps - N1 Billion.
This is Different From the their Salaries and Allowances!
True
Or FALSE?
