Seun Okin: Is the average Nigerian generally better off today than when Bola Tinubu became president in May 2023?

Omokri: The average Nigerian is better off today than before Tinubu became President in May 2023. Take Osun, for example....Osun State. The former Governor there who is now in ADC was called Baba Hafusa, you will think he has a daughter named Hafusa...it's half salary. He was getting ₦3.5b monthly with a wage bill of ₦4b, he couldn't pay salaries but under President Tinubu, Osun gets ₦15b monthly. 27 States have about 1.2 million civil servants and they are being paid. The FG has about 1 million civil servants who are also paid and you say that's suffering? Over 1 million students who couldn't afford schools can do that today because of NELFUND and you say that's suffering?

Interview with Seun Okin

I'd love to know Reno's weed supplier cos the weed must be very dry,same dealer must also be supplying FFK

So paying salaries is the only thing we achieved from removing subsidies?
How many percentage of Nigerians are even civil servants to start with?

Most governors couldn't pay salaries because they mainly depended on allocation from fg instead of putting on their thinking caps to generate revenues from alternative sources.

Aregbe's half salary had more purchasing power than the full salary Adeleke is paying now, given the inflation that came with the fuel subsidy removal and the floating of the naira.

We have a lot of selfish and wicked souls in this country that are after what they will get and not how the down trodden will survive under the weight of harsh policies of the nonchalant government. Very pathetic I must say.

In 1999, the gdp per capita in Nigeria was $400+...

In 2014, it stood at $4000+.

Today, it is $1600...

Is that progress?

In West Africa, between 2014 to 2026, Nigeria is just about the only country that has witnessed a 'net reduction' in gdp per capita...

Nigerians, come January 2027, chose your poison wisely...

Story, see his measure of good welfare, Self-centered people.
They are telling you that ordinary citizens can't afford what they used to afford pre-Tinubu and you're here telling us half salary. All the money they're pumping to state governors according to you guys does not translate to people's welfare. If it does, only very few people will complain.
You're telling me Governors have more money, have more money to do what? How do you justify a bag of Cement being sold 2400 naira just in May 2023 versus being sold at almost 14k now? Even if you take into cognizant the increased minimum wage in to equation, there's no justification for this hike. Tinubu is not doing well one bit.

Any Candidate bringing back subsidy even to half of it is who I'm voting for. That one wey una de talk na story. What has the state governments used the money given to them to achieve?
Tinubu is pumping money to them in order for them to support him and not for governing purposes, that's more like bribe with pretext. We know all these things

Aregbe actually has a daughter who is named Hafusa
Reno is lying though. Osun's allocation could easily pay their wage bill save for the debts Aregbe threw the state into under the guise of infrastructure development. Then there's the angle of those govs who simply chose to be wicked like yeye Bello
The myth of salary payment is busted when you check the real value of the salaries being paid. It's like moving half salary from naira to half salary in dollars
But more than that, is Reno saying only 2.2million people are "average Nigerians"? If that is so, where do the remaining 200millon Nigerians fall? Maybe they are classed as "below average" sha

That. no be lie.

The tree people who refused to move in life will definitely attack this. It's the stagnant of their status they will use. So better to ignore them

Nawaooo.... See the yardstick this He-goat take measure progress for 2026 under Tinubu. Increased allocation my foot. This guy is a champion in hypocrisy.

Nigeria got the reset it needed. Our economy was some sort of decoy under Jonathan and Buhari couldn't help but maintain the status quo. It won't get harder than this ever again in Nigeria. Or else they bring back subsidy and peg dollar.

Paying subsidy or pegging dollar is not the problem. The problem is can Nigeria afford to peg dollar or pay subsidy without borrowing to pay for those?

Modified:

I don't understand all these mentions. If we borrow money to build infrastructure and to enlarge our economy isn't it better than using it to pay subsidy and then coming to cry that Kenya has better road network and better electricity supply?

This is real mechanistic interpretability of the economy by agents of darkness in Nigeria's corridor of power,our country's kind of democracy produces Buffons as leaders some are pronounced drug barons,baronesses,money ritualists promoting all manners of lazier ethos/menthos/idealogies to portraying themselves as model weights inspite of hollowed mentality and filthy hands,with faded prizes and priorities.

This hungry jobber again. The lowest of humans who will do or say anything to survive.

These are the worst people to associate with …. Even without politics involved.

Reno is a disgrace to every academic institution he attended.
The entire number of civil servants in Nigeria both federal, state and local government are not up to 2.5 million. Yet their salaries consumes a healthy chunk of government earnings in a nation of over 260 million people. A government that prides itself in paying salaries is a useless government.

It is worth asking, for all the monies governments pay civil servants across all levels, is Nigeria getting its money's worth? Go into any secretariat and see for yourself. The civil service in Nigeria only exists to frustrate every good policy government manages to think up. Paying them is not what any government should be proud of.

Reno is a shameless snake and an eternally hungry creature who can sell his own son or daughter for a meal. No one should take him serious.

The kinds of insults everyone supporting this accursed Tinubu's government dish out to the suffering citizens will earn them jail terms when they go out of power like the unfamous Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood party

So you expect any rational thinking and human empty from someone like Reno who refused to attend or acknowledge his biological father's burial? You guys don't know Reno is a devil reincarnate.

Someone that denied his own sick son.

Nonsense as usual. The value of the monthly allocation approximately 3.8 billion naira Osun State was receiving in 2023 is bigger in value/quality, but smaller in quantity, than the 15 billion naira it's receiving in 2026 when one considers that naira has been devalued by more than 75 percent from 2023 to 2026 and inflation is much more higher in 2026.

15 billion naira in 2026 is literally below the value of 2 billion naira in 2023. What the presidency has created as success is money illusion.

Oga hope say Mexico don accept you?
You were bombarding Jagaban just last year. So what changed now?

I just pray you were not sent to Mexico as a trap for mafia bosses to eliminate you.

Like I said earlier, Reno, Bwala, FFK, Onanuga and most APC folks are basically the same thing, half truth is even alien to most of them so expect more and more lies from most of them.

Not surprising.

This guy should just stop talking.

Omokri brain needed








RESET

Na wa! Oga Reno, the purchasing power of money is more important. Life is hard right now though I don't agree to subsidy removal. We'll only end up funding inefficiencies and empower the wealthy more. If the reforms go well without any form of sabotage by the operators, life will get better soon. Plus, praying that Trump and Iran, Putin and Ukraine sort out their issues soonest in the interest of world peace. The fact is that all nations are currently having issues economically.

I know that life was tough for Osun people back then because of the many fund request texts I received from those who would otherwise not beg. Apart from the half salary, dues to cooperative, pension fund etc were often stalled so there was no fall back place for the civil servants.

A person supporting a man with international criminal record can't reason well. It take highest dosage of imbecility to support a criminal and still be proud of it.

Omokri, e no go beta for you

Werey go still dey call himself christian with this terrible lie.

Would he have said the same if wasn't for the appointment?

This guy need proper gangster beating for brain reset.

It is very depressing that people think like this, N3k can't take you from Oshodi to Ajah. N3k can't feed a man in a day. So minimum of N90k is ok for you Reno. This is an ambassador without location.

Always lying to defend the indefensible

Who is even the average Nigerian
How much is a liter of fuel
How much is cooking gas

RENO

GOD WILL JUDGE YOU

GOD WILL JUDGE YOUR SONS

GOD WILL JUDGE YOUR DAUGHTERS

AMEEEN

Mad man. With dollar at 1,400 or with petrol at 1,400 or with the sudden unemployment rate at 3%.0 Some people are just stupid

May God make your life and your fourth generations lives like how Nigeria is today. Wicked and self centered man.
