The problem of Nigeria is not something any of the incoming candidates can solve infact not even peter obi.

As much as you are entitled to your Opinion, Your assertions are vague and baseless

Every single problem Nigeria faces or have as challenge is[b] Man Made[/b]
.. I am educated & expose to the level i can tell you No man made problem is beyond solution.
You can speak factually that no candidate can solve Nigeria problem ... thats preposterous

The structure of the country itself won't even allow it to progress

.

The structure of Nigeria does not allow that "when prices goes up it come down" But Yaradua is the only president that made us realize Price of fuel can be lesser than what predecessor left ... till date every govt believe fuel must sell × 10 what they met

Current presidential system we practicing is too expensive.

I agree, going forward cutting govt lavish expenditure is one sure relief

bewisemasses:
Pls read people's pain up there and be sympathetic at the very least.
Every thing is not Obi Tinubu fight.
Nigerians r even regretting being alive under this man.
People r suffering terribly

BOTs are not wired to have human sympathy, empathy..they just do as they're programmed, that's what you quoted..no waste your time bro

Don’t they don’t conscience?

What do we even need a bicameral legislature for?
Legislators should be working part time.

We should go back to parliamentary system of government.

We should a create a new constitution with stiffer penalties for corruption.

Stories for the gods, if Tinubu the current President of the country has the "balls" to remove fuel subsidy,float a free exchange rate, apply for loan and get aporoval from the National assembly, sign a fraudulent electoral and taxation laws within days...WHY CAN'T HE CHANGE THE SAME TERRIBLE SYSTEM IN 3 YEARS?

why must i support him??
he is YORUBA

I usually spend around 14k for every 100 litres to power my business during Buhari' time. Today, the same 100 litres is 135,000.

I paying extra 120k per 100 litres for Tinubu's imcompetence and some people still go about supporting Tinubu.

You are a smart person. Africans dont need western style. We have everything, like bro, every damn thing.
Now, imagine security is fixed and we can use agriculture well, that will solve a lot of problems. Instead of tackling security, these moda fukas feel that increasing income tax to 25% is the way to go in a country where citiznes are so poor, and the moda fukas are proud to cap tax threshhold at 800k per year? Like how na? Anyone earning 800k per year in Nigeria of today is not living, the person is dead.
I am so ashamed of my leaders. They wrecked lives and destinies. People lives and destinies wasted.

I can feel your pain with the use of MF in your write-up

I hope I didn't add more to it because I updated my comment you quoted. It's just frustrating and I don't see things changing anytime soon because when you reason like this, they will insult you. We have become used to absurdities that if you give this current guys 4 more years, they will weaponise propaganda and gaslighting that you will almost run maaaad. I feel sorry for the young recruits who don't know any better but 24/7 working for their massaas.

I like this. I remember they even said he was a strong man who didn't listen to his advisors not to remove subsidy on the first day but because he is a warrior, he is Jagaban, he is a fighter, he can lead us to el dorado. Na bourdillon e go drop us las las. Driver o wa oo

The government of the day is a disaster,I and my household cannot vote for Tinubu .

Princedapace:
I was battling with network issues recently, and it reminded me how difficult it has become to survive here. There is no stable electricity. Most of us survive on generators.

South Africa achieved significant progress in electricity within two years, yet after four years, nothing meaningful has changed here. It is still the same story and the same daily struggle.

Now, remove emotions for a moment and look at the reality:

A kilogram of gas is about ₦1,400. That is extremely high for a country with very low salaries.
A crate of eggs is between ₦5,500 and ₦6,000.
A bag of cement is around ₦12,000. This is one of the reasons house rent has skyrocketed, because many citizens can no longer afford to build homes.
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in most state capitals now starts from about ₦2.5 million and above. That is insane for a country where the majority of citizens are struggling financially.
Fuel is around ₦1,400 per litre.

Fuel powers our generators. If you run two businesses, you may need two generators.

For someone like me who works online, I need electricity almost 24/7. A huge part of my income goes into fueling and servicing generators because, most nights, my generator runs till morning. I work with clients across different time zones, sometimes at 2AM.

What does all of this mean?

Our purchasing power has dropped drastically.

Yet, despite these realities, the tax burden keeps increasing.

I honestly want to ask: does the government truly understand what Nigerians are going through?

Even someone earning ₦25m–₦30m yearly in today’s Nigeria is not necessarily living comfortably. A large percentage of that income already goes into solving basic social problems and surviving.

You pay for:

Electricity
Security
Healthcare
Transportation
Water
Education

Everything.

So where exactly is the money left to pay huge taxes from?

How many Nigerians can genuinely save millions yearly after handling all their responsibilities as parents, children, and providers?

To survive, many people are already being forced to reduce their quality of life:

Cutting down electricity usage despite terrible heat
Moving children from good schools
Switching from bottled water to sachet water
Selling better cars for cheaper alternatives because of fuel costs
Cancelling vacations and basic comfort

The painful part is that many self-employed Nigerians hustle endlessly just to stay afloat, yet at the end of the year, they are still expected to pay heavy taxes.

One of my friends, despite earning what many would call “good money,” is already in debt because of school fees and living expenses. Yet, government expectations are based only on income figures, not the harsh realities behind those figures.

And remember, this is a country where many parents depend on their children financially just to survive.

Honestly, many leaders cannot relate to what ordinary Nigerians are facing because:

Their electricity is sorted
Their security is sorted
Their healthcare is sorted
Their feeding is sorted

So they may never truly feel the pain of the average citizen.

Dear Nigerian leaders, Nigerians are suffering.

We are exhausted.

What could be done differently?

Reduce excessive tax burdens. Maybe 3 percent for now. Please, this country is poor or increase the threshold to maybe 50m per year if you truly wants to target the rich for income tax.
Fix electricity.
Tackle corruption seriously.
Improve security so farmers can return to farms safely.
Support the tech economy so more young people can earn online.
Invest in skills and digital opportunities.
Cut down excessive government spending and luxury packages for politicians.

Nigeria is a poor country with multidimensional poverty. In many homes, one working person carries the burden of an entire extended family.

Tax should not be the first priority when citizens are already struggling to survive.

As I write this now, my area is in complete darkness again. Families will spend heavily on fuel tonight just to have light for a few hours.

So I ask again: after paying for survival, where exactly should the tax money come from?

We are tired.

The bills are too much.

please can someone push this to front page?

I want to understand why the sacrfice must be done by the suffering masses instead of the politicians. I am curios to know why. Why must I suffer what I didn't cause?

Electricity generation has been removed from the exclusive list. Have you complained to your state governor?
Nigerians need to understand that 8 years of Buhari totally finished Nigeria. The country was effectively bankrupt. Reform is never easy, but its starting to bear fruit. The Niara is now relatively stable, even with the war in Iran. I don't really like Tinubu, but in all honesty he's the best we have right now.

To add to your comment, we can cut cost if we want to. The motorcade that follows the US President is for security reasons but look how many of our governors do the same thing? We just used it for show and Fashola also showed that you don't need to make noise as a Governor with siren. So things can be done, we just refuse to. The way to know that our motorcade was not for security was when the Governors receiced the President in Lagos.

We just indulge in waste, we can cut it if we really want to.

I hear your frustration, and honestly, many Nigerians feel the same way. The cost of living is painful right now, and it is fair to ask hard questions about leadership, priorities, and why ordinary people seem to carry the heaviest burden.

But if we want to understand why some people may still support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu or ask for patience, the argument is usually this:

Nigeria’s economy was already deeply damaged long before this administration came in. For years, the country spent huge amounts subsidizing fuel and defending the naira artificially. Those policies made things look cheaper on the surface, but they also drained government finances, increased debt, discouraged investment, and created massive corruption opportunities.

So the current government believes that removing fuel subsidy and allowing the naira to float are painful but necessary corrections, not because suffering is good, but because they believe delaying those decisions would eventually crash the economy even harder.

That does not erase the suffering people are facing. It does not magically make ₦1,400 fuel or expensive food acceptable. And many citizens are justified in asking why politicians still appear comfortable while ordinary people are told to sacrifice.

That anger is valid.

But supporters of the government would argue that:

- reforms usually hurt first before improvements appear,
- states now receive more allocation because subsidy payments reduced,
- some investors are returning because policies are more market-driven,
- and fixing problems created over decades cannot happen in one or two years.

The real issue many Nigerians have is not just the hardship itself — it is the imbalance of sacrifice.

People can endure pain more patiently when leaders also:

- cut their own luxuries,
- reduce wasteful government spending,
- show transparency,
- and visibly share in the sacrifice.

That is where many citizens feel disappointed. Nigerians are not only asking for economic reform; they are asking for fairness, empathy, and evidence that leaders understand real life outside government convoys.

Your post reflects something deeper than politics: exhaustion. A country where citizens provide their own power, security, water, healthcare, and education will naturally resist heavier taxes because people already feel overburdened.

And that is the conversation Nigeria honestly needs — not insults between political sides, but serious discussion about:

- how to grow incomes,
- how to reduce the cost of governance,
- how to restore purchasing power,
- and how to make sacrifice feel shared instead of one-sided.

Nobody likes suffering. People simply disagree on whether the current hardship is a temporary transition toward recovery or just more pain without results.

Didn't Tinubu say he was Buhari? This line no fit work. Change your AI prompt

Nigerians need to understand that 8 years of Buhari totally finished Nigeria. The country was effectively bankrupt. Reform is never easy, but its starting to bear fruit. The Niara is now relatively stable, even with the war in Iran. I don't really like Tinubu, but in all honesty he's the best we have right now.

Tinubu campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. He even promised to continue from where Buhari stopped. Why absolve him?

Emi Lo Kan” mentality among Nigerians is one of the major reasons we are where we are today.

To be fair, Tinubu is not the first politician to operate with this mentality. Other politicians before him also did the same. Buhari used it. Yar’Adua’s political circle used it as well. Even we, the voters, participate in it during elections.

We practice tribal and religious politics instead of voting based on competence and leadership capacity. We fail to realize that the consequences of bad governance do not recognize tribe or religion. Poverty and insecurity do not care whether you are Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa.

So, in many ways, the fault also lies with us Nigerians.

I used to believe Nigeria would eventually get better. I had that hope when Abacha died and Obasanjo was elected. The belief persisted even during the Yar’Adua era because, despite the flaws in the system that brought him to power, Yar’Adua himself acknowledged those problems and promised reforms.

That hope weakened after Yar’Adua’s death, when some people around him tried to hold on to power. However, it was briefly restored when the Senate and the House of Representatives intervened and Jonathan became president.

But it was during Jonathan’s administration that I began to see what I believe is the deeper problem with Nigeria. I saw how politics became driven more by regional and power interests than by national progress. I saw how many people supported Buhari largely because they believed it was “his turn” — the same “Emi Lo Kan” mentality.

In my opinion, Buhari’s greatest ambition was simply to become president before he died. I see a similar pattern with Tinubu. Becoming president appears to have been the ultimate goal, but beyond political rhetoric, I have not seen enough vision, urgency, or political will to effectively tackle the country’s core problems.

And whenever election cycles come around, I still hear people openly defend tribalism, nepotism, and religious bias in politics. That is why I have gradually lost hope in the country — because even many of the citizens do not seem willing to move beyond the same destructive mindset.

At least, vote for him due to tribe. He's from the Yoruba speaking tribe. Emi lo Kan!

Don't forget, who drafted and crafted the Lagos State Modern Blueprint

Yoruba have to complete 8yrs, ejo!

The thing is that there's no valid reason to vote him.

Anyone can vote whoever he wants in 2027 polls. One thing is certain; No Nigerian President can satisfy or meet the people's expectations. It is self deceit to believe otherwise.

I dont even want to mention fuel for car, fuel for generator is already choking, on car fueling, bro, I am hitting 200k now. Roughly 50k per week. Na why I said seems the man wants us all to sell our V6 cars and buy corolla. What type of human is this? He is not cutting down on his own enjoyment but wants me to cut down on mine, suffer and pay him tax. Like how?
On a serious note, this man should have make do with VAT and leave income tax for now. The truth of the matter is that over 97 percent of Nigerians wont have any savings at the end of the year not to talk of savings for tax. Except they are ready to completely live like poor people. The currency is so weark now.

I beg to disagree, savings Nigerians would have. It about cutting your coat according to your size.

Tenses:
No politician whether north or south will bring back subsidy. Subsidy removal was necessary. It just that the manner of which tinubu removed it was absolutely wrong.

Besides the reintroduction of subsidy will only have little effect on the living standard of Nigerians. Prices of goods will not return to as it were before the removal.

Cushioning the effect of subsidy removal is what a serious government would focus on.

I hate to be deceived in anything I do, so I always take the pain of during a thorough research. All through PO tenure I wasn't in south East so I did my research and everything he said he did while in office I verified and found out it was true.

Must of his current attackers have before now confirmed that his performance as governor was unmatched.

Do not depend on hearsay. Take out your time and resources and research that man PO and you'd be marvelled at what manner of man he is.

Stay tuned.

He won't research jack. They rely on hearsay which is the source of their limitations in thoughts.

PO is known to be stingy. Do you know why? He ensures that one gets the best value at the lowest cost. This means that the current wasteful spend being encountered will be history once he gets that office. The state legislatures wanted big cars. He proposed the same car he was driving as the Governor. It was dramatic. But he won because he led by example.

I just got admission in Unizik during the last years of his tenure. I honestly didn't like PO because I was judging him based on how bad Onitsha to Akwa road was. Little did I know that there were rules governing federal roads and state roads. Meanwhile, PO was busy building the state roads.

During his last year, the federal govt under Goodluck stepped in and they built Onitsha to Akwa road. The experience made me understand that for one to criticize constructively, one needs to understand the role of each arm of the government.

The famous strike by doctors being referred to as his failures, most people have failed to read up on what actually transpired. There is corruption everywhere. What matters in how one use wisdom to manage things.

PO saw that hospitals managed by the churches and private entities were doing so well, while those managed by the state government was a mess. First year, he pumped funds in to the state hospitals, nothing came out of it. Same thing second and third. He decided to do something differently. Instead of investing into the state government managed hospitals, he used pumped state funds into already managed hospitals that were doing well, giving them the financial capacity to expand beyond their limitations. The effect was a better health care. Guess what. The state doctors went on strike because of it. At the end of the day, PO didn't back down and after about 13 months, the doctors resumed their duties. This shows that for a system to work, corruption will fight back.

What of schools in the state? He ruled in a way that all the head boys of each state school had his number. He met all the schools and asked them to individually tell him what they wanted based on their use case. He did all what's they asked at good rates too.

Yes it may be difficult to do same on the federal level. But when the head is financially disciplined, it becomes easier to cascade same to all levels of the government.

When people ask what will PO do differently, I know he won't support the building of a coastal road when we don't have good roads. I know he won't come on the first day in office to fay fuel subsidy is gone like someone with little understanding of economics.

Counterigbolies:
tell us the policies of tinubu that obi will reverse?

Ani e ponu seh, Walahi! If no be spiritual slavery, bewitchment, or blind loyalty, how can any right-thinking person still defend a government like Tinubu’s?

This is not even about reversing policies; it’s about prioritizing good governance over exploitation and corruption. Every day, the government introduces new taxes, removes subsidies from everything that once gave ordinary Nigerians small relief, and then channels the money into inflated contracts and questionable spending without due process.

Tell me one real benefit the average Nigerian is enjoying under this government. Just one.

Public school fees have increased outrageously, yet the solution they offer is student loans for poor citizens. Imagine a civil servant now needing loans just to send their children to government-owned schools.

How many honest civil servants today can genuinely build a house or buy even a tokunbo car with their salaries without resorting to corruption or side hustles?

My brother, you don’t have to defend failure simply because the people in power share your ethnicity or religion. Bad governance is bad governance.

Tenses:
Blockage of governance wastage is the solution.

PO has always advocated that he will stop governance wastage and theft. And with his "from consumption to production" policies the burdens of fuel subsidy removal will not be felt.

instead of favouring politicians, PO government will be favourable to the common man.

Once PO is elected the north will be the next goldmine.

Nigerians will be prosperous. ⁶

Please don't give Tinubu urchins heart attack with this saintly analysis.

Nigerians, both the government supporters and the non government.suporters have no idea as to how to run the economy of the country at all

Make we leave am.for their delusions
