The Dude quoted a challenge cos he was seeking to know the mandate behind our political ideologies. If you are indisposed to deliver an accountable assertion, why don't you jump and pass without feeling triggered to gas light the question?

Nigerian politics has not matured to the level of ideology yet.

I'm not surprised with your question, You always exhibit petty tendencies.

I've never come across a comment where you delivered a very brilliant assertion other than to curse people and rant animalistically.

What happens to be civil on this platform even if you don't have intellectual capacities to deliver a brilliant assertion on Obi's mandate?

What other things do you do best with your life other than to curse Tinubu?

All politicians are the same, If you think there is an exception to that phenomenon, nah you go suffer the heart break, highest you will still come here display bitterness like you always do.

Get a life dude!

What a pile of rubbish

I totally disagree with you, cos we all have different political agendas and mandates we stand on.

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu neither am i a supporter of Sowere, Obi and Atiku. I just have an independent state of mind after realizing that all politicians are literally the same, I am just a patriotic citizen that refuses to be a psychological tool for any greedy Nigerian politicians(of course, all our politicians have their greedy tendencies and i refuse to partake in such phenomenon all in the name of favoritism).

Why support these politicians bitterly on social media who are just eagerly seeking to enrich their own pockets one way of the other?

You are doing so not realizing that you are the psychological tool the politician is using to fight his opposition equivalently meaning you are exposing yourself to be used because at the end of the day - The Nigerian political system will not get better no matter any given administration (highest you will be awarded a political appointment for your support, hypocritically giving you the room to come embezzle public funds as well, the same actions you were using to criticize your opposition till you got the same privilege to do so).

So don't tell me that the Nigerian politics hasn't yet matured to the level of ideologies. Our political expectations are driven by ideas and agendas indoctrinated to suit our state of mind and interests, And these factors comes from our given ideologies!

I simply mean the political parties dont have or express any distinct ideologies.

The crude oil Nigeria is exporting to sell to other countries how much in dollars are they bringing to back to nigeria, the reforms how much money is it bringing to Nigerian economy,then why any time the president travelled out of the country in the name of bringing investors to the country the next thing is Nigeria want to borrow certain amount to improve the country's infrastructure after this administration is over we will probe every single borrowing and call all the government officials that is involved in stealing the money apc has borrowed even if they have to sell their property and pay the countries this apc's administration is owing.

They do because all our politicians are the same. Their personal mandates are stamped on a Rinse and repeat system where they all recycle their opponent's ideologies and repeat the same actions of embezzling public funds one way the other and God fatherism to keep enriching their pockets.

Nigerians know this fact and yet some of them think there candidates will perform miracles.

So I totally agree with you on the emphasize that our polical parties don't have there distinct ideologies that makes them intentionally stand out different.

All our politicians are the same. ‼️

1.Fiscal Reforms and Revenue Generation

The removal of the fuel subsidy has freed up significant resources, leading to a surge in federation revenues and more funds flowing to states and local governments for infrastructure, salaries, and development. Government revenues have improved considerably, reducing dependence on borrowing to fund recurrent expenditure.

2.Local Government Autonomy

The push for financial autonomy for local governments is a major structural reform. It aims to ensure that funds allocated to local governments reach them directly, thereby improving grassroots development, accountability, and service delivery across communities.

3. Tax Reform

Ongoing tax reforms seek to simplify the tax system, reduce multiple taxation, improve compliance, expand the tax net, and create a more business-friendly environment. The goal is to increase government revenue without overburdening productive businesses.

4. GDP Growth and Economic Stabilization

Q1 2026 recorded growth of approximately 3.89%. The non-oil sector continues to contribute the majority of GDP, indicating gradual economic diversification. Foreign exchange reforms and improved macroeconomic management have helped restore investor confidence and support economic expansion.

5.Banking Sector Reform and Recapitalisation

The Central Bank's recapitalisation programme is strengthening Nigerian banks, enabling them to finance larger projects, support economic growth, withstand external shocks, and compete more effectively on the global stage.

6. Credit Reform

Efforts to improve access to credit through credit reporting systems, consumer lending frameworks, and support for SMEs are gradually expanding financial inclusion and economic participation.

7. Education Access Through NELFUND and Academic Stability

Over 1.5 million students are benefiting from student loan programmes, significantly improving access to tertiary education. Government engagement with stakeholders has also contributed to a relatively more stable academic calendar compared to previous years characterized by prolonged strikes.

8. Health Sector Reform

Increased investments in primary healthcare, health insurance expansion, and initiatives aimed at reducing medical tourism are laying the foundation for a stronger healthcare system including training and engagement of 774 health fellows and rebuilding of health centers across Nigeria

9. Minimum Wage Reform

The approval of a new national minimum wage represents a significant improvement in workers' earnings and purchasing power, especially amidst inflationary pressures.

10. Police Reform and Security Investments

Increased investments in equipment, technology, intelligence gathering, and welfare for security personnel demonstrate commitment to improving national security. Passage of State Police bill also indicate willingness to explore constitutional solutions to insecurity.

11. Strengthening Foreign Reserves and FX Stability

External reserves have risen significantly, reaching multi-year highs. Improved reserve levels enhance the country's ability to defend its currency, meet external obligations, and attract foreign investment. Exchange rate volatility has also moderated compared to earlier periods of severe instability.

12. Infrastructure Development and Completion of Abandoned Projects
The administration has accelerated work on major highways, rail projects, dams, airports, and energy infrastructure. Several previously abandoned projects have been revived, improving connectivity and supporting economic growth.

13. Power Sector Reform
One of the most significant reforms has been the decentralization of electricity generation and distribution. States and private investors now have greater authority to generate, transmit, and distribute power, effectively breaking the long-standing monopoly structure. This opens the door for increased investment and improved electricity supply.

14. Improved Electricity Metering
Metering coverage has reportedly improved from roughly 40% to about 60%, reducing estimated billing and increasing transparency for consumers. While challenges remain, the progress is noteworthy.

15. ₦4 Trillion Power Sector Bond Intervention
The planned ₦4 trillion bond infusion is expected to address liquidity constraints within the power sector, settle legacy debts, improve market confidence, and support long-term investments in generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure.

16. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Investor Confidence
Economic reforms, FX market adjustments, and regulatory improvements are gradually rebuilding investor confidence. While FDI inflows remain below desired levels, Nigeria is increasingly being positioned as a destination for long-term investment.

You would rival bobo if you continue this way chief!!

You didnt mention a very important one. Tinubus administration gave 50million to 45 tech entrepreneurs at university (university students).
There was a competition for grants for tech students called the 'STUDENT VENTURE CAPITALIST GRANT".

https://fmino.gov.ng/fg-unveils-%E2%82%A62-2-billion-boost-as-45-student-ventures-emerge-winners-at-2026-s-vcg-bootcamp/

Those that had formed their companies and needed seed funding to expand or develop their software were given N50million each. The winners were posting their wins on twitter when they won in March.

The Lagos state government built the currently active tech hub in Lagos through initiatives like that 15 years ago.

Not true.

The governors Ribadu explicitly indicted or heavily focused on during that 2006 legislative period are:
- Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia)
- James Ibori (Delta)
- Joshua Dariye (Plateau)
- Ayo Fayose (Ekiti)
- Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu)
- Boni Haruna (Adamawa)

bewisemasses:
I don't take this govt serious for one reason

In 2006, The then efcc chairman Nuhu Ribadu Came B4 d Nigerian Senate and listed five most corrupt governors
Orji Kalu (now a senator)
BAT ( now C.I.C)
Ahmed Sani Yerima (now a senator)
Godswill Akpabio (now Senate president)
George Akume (now a secretary to d FG)

Nigeria is d biggest joke. We de 🤡 ourselves for this country

Honestly, bad market is the hardest to defend no matter how much you sabi talk.

Regimes before now treated symptoms and not cause. That's why the problems have been recurring and getting worse. Symptoms are easier to treat and the results show very fast but the illness will rebound.

PBAT has been treating cause. This is more difficult, painful and the illness takes awhile before leaving. This brings permanent solution.

What a pile of rubbish

Exactly. This is the problem.

Once you ask for specifics, the insults begin.

The question was simple: what would your candidate do differently on subsidy, FX, security, oil theft, debt, reserves, minimum wage, ASUU, infrastructure, student loans and foreign investment?

Instead of answers, we get “pile of rubbish.”

That is not a rebuttal.

That is surrender wearing anger.

Opposition is easy when it is only complaint. It becomes difficult when asked to produce a budget, a policy sequence, a funding plan and a timeline.

Anyone can say Tinubu is wrong.

The serious person must then answer: wrong compared to what?

Restore subsidy or not?

Float naira or not?

Borrow or not?

Raise wages or not?

Fund infrastructure or not?

Pay ASUU or not?

Secure oil pipelines how?

Build reserves how?

This is why many critics avoid specifics. The moment they propose an alternative, it can be tested.

So they hide behind abuse.

But elections are not won by insults.

They are won by alternatives.

And if “pile of rubbish” is their manifesto, then perhaps their manifesto is the rubbish.

You are so right. here is a befiting analogy for what you wrote.

For years, Nigeria was treated like a cancer patient who was repeatedly given painkillers instead of chemotherapy.

The pain reduced temporarily, everyone applauded, and the patient smiled for a while.

But the cancer kept spreading.

President Tinubu's reforms resemble chemotherapy. They are painful, sometimes frightening, and no honest doctor pretends otherwise.

But chemotherapy is not designed to make the patient comfortable today.

It is designed to keep the patient alive tomorrow.

History will judge whether the treatment succeeded, but no one should mistake temporary pain for the disease itself.

The real question is not whether chemotherapy hurts.

It always does.

The question is whether we preferred the comfort of painkillers while the cancer quietly consumed the patient.

Painkillers comfort. Chemotherapy cures.

It’s either you’re devious, ignorant or both, the image you have posted as proof actually shows the debts are being paid down

Paid down by the total debt going up? Iru ìrònú wo nìyẹn?

Paid down like it was when Obasanjo and Atiku were in charge of a prosperous, peaceful and stable country with cheap petrol and cheap dollars?

Are you a clone of Bwala and his fake contextualisation balablu, bulaba propaganda by any chance

Nemere2020:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

You just sit down write this nonsense telling us things you feel or assume he is getting right...what of the things he is not getting right..... Tinubu has never gotten anything right...if him get am right no be you go tell us

All of them are failed reform

Key Questions for the Opposition
If critics believe the current administration is on the wrong path, what specifically would they do differently regarding:

Security and counter-insurgency strategy?

Building and protecting foreign reserves?

Fuel subsidy removal and its fiscal consequences?

Increasing crude oil production and reducing oil theft?

Development of the Niger Delta?

Infrastructure financing and project execution?

Public debt management?

Debt servicing and fiscal sustainability?

Foreign exchange stability?

Student loan programmes?

Stability of the academic calendar?

Resolution of ASUU-related issues?

Doubling the national minimum wage?

Capital market development and wealth creation?

Attracting foreign direct investment?

No administration is perfect, and many Nigerians continue to face significant economic hardship. However, several of these reforms are structural in nature and may take years before their full benefits become visible. The more important debate is not whether challenges exist, but whether there are better, practical alternatives to the reforms currently being implemented.
