Is calling or chanting "the president Ole" has solved their own problems?

You don't have an idea of what the masses are going through..One thing is to fix infrastructure, another thing is to alleviate poverty and reduce poverty among the masses, Tinubu is passing in one and failing in other, he would rather look for a middle ground, it's so unfortunate that he is not reasoning well

Paid agents which amount to nothing

Tinubu will win 2027 election landslide

Wail if you can. Na your constitutional right 😂😂

I dare him to conduct a free and fair elections and see if he will not be brutally and shamefully kicked out of ASO ROCK.
Ode!

See convoy as if his going for war
That's our tax payer money wasted out there, even Donal Trump doesn't move with such huge convoys

Fake news alerts nairalanders chaii 🤣 🤣 🤣

Mr. Yarimo or Yanibo, honestly speaking, can you claim with absolute conviction that you are living a healthy, comfortable, and happy life under this current administration? If that is true for you, can you say the same for your immediate and extended family? Be honest with yourself. I hope you come to terms with reality and stop making a mockery of yourself online in an attempt to sound clever.

When did subsidy become tax!!

In UK Canada Germany etc are they paying tax or not ??
The good road and medical systems they have are they paying tax for it or not.

But I thought he increased state allocation times two or three

I think he also BUILT major roads that worth billions

I thought he also increased minimum wage etc and still counting 🤪

So you mean Nigeria is so rich like UK and Canada and Germany but we just stil want to borrow??

Yet if they ask u to pay tax u will still complain 🤔

In the so called developed countries they pay tax in everything they do and that's why they have enough money like revenue to build the nation but if we want to implement same strategy here .

You all will complain and u want a better nation like that same US and Canada 🤔

Do you agree with me

What did he do with the subsidy? After removing subsidy, he promised Nigerians that he will employ the savings to improve the lives of Nigerians, what happened to the savings? Instead he is taxing Nigerians more and more. Even Abacha as wicked as he was, used money from petroleum at N14 per litre to benefit ordinary Nigerians.

Then, where is the audited account of NNPC? NNPC accounts have not been audited throughout this administration.

What about transparency in public procurement, how are mega contracts signed without any bidding, passing through public procurement process and even budgeting?

Then there is anticorruption effort. How come EFCC has not been able to arrest and prosecute one politician in connection with numerous allegations?

I am explaining to you the reason ordinary Nigerians are chanting ole ole (thief thief wherever they see president Tinubu.

cowards

Foolish set of buffoons. They should gerrout..Tinubu till 2031! Period

You all know what’s right. How you still know that it’s only atiku among the main opposition that can pay for something like this is a testament that you still have sense. We know the right thing but keep pretending.

Which major road has he built?

I mean a major road that was started by his administration and completed by his administration. Not a project inherited from a previous government, not one merely commissioned, and not one still under construction.

I await the list.

And what exactly do you mean when you say he increased the minimum wage?

Are we talking about the increase in absolute naira terms, or in real terms after considering inflation and the exchange rate?

Today's minimum wage of N70,000, at an exchange rate of about ₦1,400 to $1, is approximately $50.

During Buhari's administration, the minimum wage was ₦30,000, which was approximately $40 using the then black market exchange rate of about ₦750/$ (the official Market rate was around ₦550/$.

And this comparison doesn't even account for inflation, which has averaged roughly 20% annually since 2023.

So, in real purchasing-power terms, what exactly has improved?

Then comes the mystery of subsidy removal.

We were told that removing fuel subsidy would free up government resources that could then be redirected into infrastructure and other developmental projects.

So why are we borrowing more than ever before to finance government projects?

If subsidy removal was supposed to create fiscal space, where is that benefit being felt by the ordinary Nigerian?

What do you mean when you say Nigerians don't pay taxes?

Nigerians already pay some of the highest in the world in numerous forms.

We pay official taxes, levies, fees, permits, fines, VAT, customs duties and other charges at the federal, state and local government levels.

The Federal Government even deducts ₦50 from electronic transactions above ₦10,000. Do you know I much I pay to FG everyday in electronic levy?

Then there are what I would call unofficial taxes—payments to the police, Road Safety, unions, Iya and Baba Oloja, and the almighty agberos.

Many transporters reportedly spend up to 30% their daily income to these various payments.

Try building a house in Nigeria. You can pay the official government charges, permits and fees, and then encounter additional payments demanded at virtually every stage of construction and every activity carried out on your own property.

These are effectively additional costs imposed on ordinary citizens and businesses.

And that is the bigger issue.

In countries such as the United States and Canada, citizens certainly pay taxes and various official charges. But the system is not supposed to operate through the same maze of unofficial levies and informal collections that Nigerians routinely encounter.

So before telling Nigerians that they don't pay enough taxes, perhaps we should first ask:

How much are Nigerians already paying in taxes, levies, fees and informal charges—and what are they getting in return?

It's Atiku because obi is too broke and stingy to give anybody money. Both of them are perpetual losers

MEGAWATCH:
Yes I also wanted to remind you what you were saying before that election just like you are saying now.

Also casting our votes and trying to make it count might be a delusion for people who uses Agbero to fight and kill people on an ordinary election.

If Obi who has never faces any criminal prosecution in any court is termed a criminal by you Tinubu supporters🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..

I guess you have the right name for a man you are supporting whose life has been filled and defined with criminality to the lowest point of STEALING AN ORDINARY YOUNG ADULT PICTURES FOR A CAMPAIGN.

Please don't fear, because I'm not going to mention his primary and secondary schools education fraud.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Honestly you guys are so delusional. You pretend not to see what is right in front of you. The person that won went to prostrate to Tinubu for allowing him win. The person that lost who wanted to fight initially, tlchanged his mind once he got orders from Tinubu. Yest here you are still living in a delusional universe. Lol.

Na your front Ti uni will be sworn I. For second term. Infact, he deserve to amend our constitution to be President for life!

Wailers no de ever get sense. Premium tears loading

Good boy! Good boy!! See how your manners are now improving.

Just imagine if you've come across this free lesson before now

Perhaps you might not be a sycophant for looters as you are now

If SUBSIDY ain't our problem .
Jonathan
Buhari
Atiku
Obi before tinubu won't be glamoring about removing it ..

So the removal caused all these that are happening and it's necessary 📍

When dollars was $50 is because it was subsized and is not that is not high ...
.Yet deplicating the development of the country ...

Even when things were cheap is because of the subsidy so it's not that it was actually cheap but yet many too didn't build when cement was 1k 2k even when cement was #70 majority didn't build house but when it's 2k that was when they built....


Either you like it or not subsidy cannot be back because we can't go back to assu strike also fuel queue also states owing salaries etc


So u mean coastal was inherited too?


Ask yourself before today even in 1980 that's was how they complained of bad economy then but now people believe we should go back to that time .

But why don't u praise the government then even during Jonathan's regimen when things were cheap . 🤔

People only realized that when he left power 🤔...

You can't satisfy the masses even triump of US the citizens wanted to in peace HIM earliar this year 🤔

So is it tinubu also ruling US??

Bro to bro 😁

Even if the subsidy is bad today some group of people will still abuse the government 🤔

So what exactly do you want ⁉️
