The government will do and explore every other decision but do the right thing. It's almost like the whole government of all countries are following a single pattern, ie making the people live in abject poverty till they drop dead.

France didn't face up to 10percent of what Nigeria is facing yet Nigeria is so calm like nothing is happening. The people are dying in abject poverty.

Every morning I see homeless ppl sleeping in front of shops and this wasn't a thing until apc came in

I do not think there is any candidate who doesnt mean well. However, we cannot insulate plans from reality of oyr nation.

Nigeria needs to go through a hard reset. We cannot afford subsidy. I do agree that something can be done to ameloriate pains. Nigeria used to have vision 2010, MDGs, Vision 2020 and so on. Right now, there is view without sion.

I suggest the opposition comes up with a comprehensive plan for Nigerians to study.

Regarding stolen funds, some of the recovered funds are funding student loans. Remember an ADC aspirant in Kebbi was indicted for acquiring properties and attempting to fleece the country in a settlement deal that backfired. There is also the problem of capital flight, for example, AA was said to have paid a certain von Batten $1.2million for lobbying. Von Batten is blaming Tinubu over his inability to undermine Tinubu as part of his lobbying deal.

Oga you are writing an epistle and stylishly dodging the fact that that APC has stolen so much more than PDP in the last decade. The ADC guy you talked about is a clear case of witch hunting

The French revolt at the slightest inconvenience from their government and that’s why their government doesn’t use them to play. Their foreign policy and everything the government does including looting Africa is all for their citizens to live a better life.

Shops that have been vandalized are insured and even if not, government will still pay.

As you can’t stoop so “low” na why your government dey use una play.

The real challenge for France is addressing the root causes of public anger, easing economic hardship, and restoring public confidence. A nation's strength lies not in avoiding crises, but in how it responds to them.

Will Tinubu still visit France?

Mr. Macron made his bed when he assured POTUS that he welcomes atrocities against Iranians.

Too late to blame the war his ilk helped cause. The French people demand wholesale change, including freedom of assembly.

We just dont have the capacity to fight govt due to tribalism. These guys protesting have electricity and running water. We dont have stable electricity here. I read some of the reasons they are protesting and Nigerians have experienced such for decades and even worse now, we dont have the capacity to protest at such scale.. one, blacks here are cowards, secondly, tribalism wont let it succeed.

The highlighted is the major reason and it's brought by the most idiotic party in the whole world (APC)! Its two idiotic presidents are the most tribalistic of presidents Nigeria ever had! grin

Unlike the West, we do not have all these big retail stores on every street corner. If we did, any stores targeted by our youths during unrest due to economic hardship would be completely empty.

Some Nigerians are very funny. You can't afford subsidy, but, you can afford massive corruption!

Is subsidy the problem or massive corruption?

Don't forget, even Betta Edu with her corruption tag is part of the campaign council of PBAT.

Why don't you compare the depth of corruption in Nigeria to that of France as well.

PBAT's government and his supporters are always looking for ways to avoid their responsibilities. Rather, they will always see someone or something to blame. That is what is called failure!

You are channeling your energy wrongly, people who have lived in comfort all their lives can't take hardship the way some of us born in hardship will take it that is the case

This isn't really about poverty but devilish minds and hatred for France. Most of the poor slums in France house the most hardened islamist immigrants from Algeria and Morocco. France is 100X better than Nigeria.

[quote author=emkz post=140947889

]Atiku Abubakar,

This is an indication that no country is insulated from global economic shocks. France is said to have a generous welfare which has caused their public debt to exceed $4trillion. They are doing budget cuts to find money to plug into other areas. Their expulsion from Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali compounded their woes.

i think it is very gross of you to make this about Atiku ... No countries is insulated from global economic shock however many countries of the world esp. develope countries have Good leaders".
You can never compare France to Nigeria govt ..france is taking debt burden to ameliorate global crisis, Nigeria govt is borrowing money money to loot and do what we can't see

In Nigeria, we had a petrol subsidy regime and forex subsidy regime that even led to massive borrowing just to pay salaries and sustain subsidy. Our crude oil was forward-sold to pay for subsidy. Our national earnings nose-dived. That is why Tinubu borrows for capital expenditure. Yet you claim you will bring back production subsidy. Atiku Abubakar, tell us where you will get the funds to do your subsidy.

Bro "assessment report" is paramount, cos the beauty of a Policy is not in the theory but results.
In the last 3yrs subsidy is gone, Tinubu as borrowed more money than any of his predecssor

When you compare Tinubu 1st tenure and Buhari 1st tenure ... Buhari under 4yrs completed tangible projects, buhari capital expenditure performance is higher than Tinubu not paying subsidy

Lastly ..Other govt that paid subsidy never ran 2 budget concurrently, despite Buhari paying subsidy he still gave out bail out fund to governors, mind you Buhari didnt enjoy windfall in criude price like Tinubu today $100 per barrel

France is facing crisis because they failed to take hard decisions earlier. Those decisions could have led to hardship but long-term economic stability. Tinubu took the hard decision and you are saying you will take us back.

You can imagine this nigga living in no.1 poverty capital in the world mocking france, france mimimum wage is €12.31 there unskill labour earn than you
france has the 7th largiest economy in the world, and you that took the right economic hard decision are where ?? My bro with Tinubu supporters is they have no regard or respect for " Result" .. they are just fixated in glamourizing & romancing policies they don't check results

Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria cannot afford your subsidy.

You lie, if Nigeria under Tinubu can afford 11.2 trn on oil security according to Nnpc report and the last subsidy amounted to 4.6trn ... Nigeria can afford subsidy

if Inec estimated budget for 2027 election overs 800billion Bro we can afford subsidy. what we just have are wickedLeaders with misplaced priority.
36billion Wike use to renovate conference centre and total money disburse to health sector in 2025 is 36m. Big shame on every educated person defending Tinubu govt.

i taya my Broda ! sometimes i just look at those defending Tinubu govt as people insane becos i cant rationalize it
when it comes to affair of the people the Govt will tell you they are broke Buh when it comes to there own affair The fund is allways available

Do you know under these Tinubu govt that insist Nigeria can not afford 4.6trillion for subsidy, an Nnpc report shows 11.2trillion was spent on oil security thats even more than the total budget of National security that includes, police, navy, army, civil defence & all @ 4.9trillion

Just look at these datas can you rationalize, 8
