GodPunishOsu:
Don't stress yourself, nobody is removing Tinubu

nairalanda1:
APC Must be voted out...but no, your life would not get better afterwards.

Nigeria as a nation has a very large debt burden. We also have hefty budget deficits that have been groowing for years, and oil revenue is going largely to settle debts. If not for subsidy removal, all our oil revenue would have gone to settle debts.

One word about subsidy removal,...it is not about politics. Simple and short. Once you get why it had to go, you would support subsidy remooval, while still rightly calling tinubu a bad leader.

Whoever takes over is still going to face massive debts, and a host of other issues. And if the government wants to be a good government, it would have to

1. Tax more of the gdp
2. Borrow for rail and pipeline projects
3. Remove subsides on power, and deregulate electricity, giving discos the right to set their prices.
4. Fight corruptuon at all levels.
5. Diversify the economy

If the government does not do these things, it is a bad government. If the government returns subsidy, it is worsening your debt for you and you go feel am after a few years of cheap prices.

I await the abuse.

He is going to lose most likely, because the North and the East and large parts of the rest of the country are hit hard by the good old subsidy removal.

Subsidy removal was necessary. The problem was any leader who did it was going to pay the price, and it was tinubu that happened to be it.

Just kpai us, I no understand.

Tinubu is not your average politician,he knows. how to surprise you people when you doubt me, Tinubu is winning next election with bigger margin

Tinubu's biggest crimes as a failed President is not removal of fuel subsidy, nope.....the main reasons Tinubu's regime failed woefully are:

1.) Extreme tribalism - God and nature despise this and the forces of nature will always work against any man or woman that practices extreme tribalism in all he does. Tinubu's biggest mistake was listening to people around him that encouraged him to make his government a Yoruba-centered government as if Yorubas finally conquered Nigeria.

This extreme tribalism made Tinubu to assemble the worst set of people who only want to praise him, enrich their pockets, advance the cause of their fellow tribesmen and community to the detriment of other tribes and regions. Nature forbids that and he had to fail!

Because of Tinubu's extreme tribalism, a lot of Nigerians who are not from his region who felt irritated and disgusted by his extreme tribalism in appointing only Yorubas into most key political positions threw away their national patriotism and refused to assist or bring ideas or do things that could have helped Nigeria and Tinubu to succeed.


2.) Rewarding the worst set of Nigerians without integrity and shame with political appointments thinking that would help him to hold on to power as long as he desires without anybody holding him accountable!

3.) Extreme corruption and unaccountability of government expenditures, revenues, etc - Tinubu's regime have not been transparent with how they spent our national revenues, incomes, taxes, loans, etc, he borrows and spend it recklessly on white elephant projects with zero impact on national development and growth. One example; the coastal highway to perdition!!


4.) High cost of running the government - Tinubu spends so much on governance just because he believes in sharing money to the elites and corrupt/powerful Nigerians in order to buy their loyalty to enable him get full hold of Nigeria.


5.) Taxing poverty - Tinubu trying to copy developed western country's tax system to apply in a struggling 3rd world country like Nigeria with majority of her citizen living in extreme poverty and businesses struggling to stay in business is nothing but ignorance of the highest order. There is time for everything, taxing poor people more will only send them to extreme poverty and penury which will lead to nationwide insecurity and chaos as people struggle to survive by all means, including engaging in violent crimes!

6.) Tinubu's refusal to sincerely reform our electoral system to make it more credible and transparent than it is now.

7.) Tinubu's gradual destruction of our legal system - if you notice, since Tinubu took over, most Nigerians no longer take the court or judiciary serious because they have been heavily compromised and now working for the ruling party's interest only!



Now if Tinubu loses, it will reset Nigeria and it will make many Nigerians realize that nobody in Nigeria can hold Nigeria and Nigerians on ransom in the name of thinking he is too politically powerful, it will make other political leaders to sit up and start taking Nigerians serious, this matters a lot!


If it is Peter Obi that won, I can guarantee you that Nigeria will witness some positive changes that will improve the lives of all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or political party. Obi will reform our electoral system completely and make it more credible and transparent to allow only Nigerians to decide who governs them and to give room for the children of nobodies to vie for elective positions and win without knowing any powerful person or godfather! This will bring positive changes to Nigeria.


Obi will set example of being the first Nigerian President that will not travel out of Nigeria to treat himself for any illness because he will make use of Nigerian hospitals and he will also not travel outside Nigeria for vacation or leave as he will spend his vacation in Nigerian cities! This will bring real positive change to Nigeria.


Obi will cut down cost of governance to a very drastic level that will free up billions of funds that will be channeled to other sectors like healthcare, security, food production/agriculture....and this will make our politics to become less attractive to criminals and corrupt Nigerians and it will make our politics less toxic too!


These things I am very sure of and can stake my life on it should Obi win!

nairalanda1:
LOL...Nigeria's problem since independence is resource dependency.

Unless Obi dooes what I said shoould be done, forget any change, forget any remooval of tribalism.

And yes, taxes is part of the solution, or we are going too borrow more and borrow more, and still never have enoough.

Welcome to reality.

The issue you have in your analysis is that you seem to neglect the fact that Nigeria's current President is wasteful! The amount of money Tinubu has wasted in the name of governance and via corrupt practices like contract inflation, not following due process in awarding critical contracts like the coastal highway, and much more, is enough to take cut down our borrowing by at least 40%.


If Peter Obi emerges President, he will cut down cost so much that it will shock Nigerians! Obi will block so many waste pipes making Nigeria to borrow endlessly and you will see that Nigeria can make do with what we have.


The money being wasted by Tinubu's regime is enormous, and you seem to neglect this fact!


We need a sincere, frugal President that have contentment, whose family is not interested in politics or power, that is what Nigeria need but you guys don't seem to know this

hegelian:
i disagree sir... subsidy removal was not the problem, the problem is the way it was managed... you dont float naira the same time u remove subsidy..what should have happened is remove subsidy, sanitize the exchange rate windows( ofcourse he will step on very big toes but its better than sending the masses to untold suffering), and most importantly do aggressive cost cutting.. aggressive cutting of government cos will seriosuly free up fund while making fighting corruption easy..

You are so pained, why?

BATified2023:
if obi had not occupied a position before we can believe u in all these

But that clown failed woefully in tiny Anambra.

Y don't u campaign with what he did as governor instead of telling us this bullshit

Tell us what he did as governor n how he will improve on it as president

Dalohad:
The only 'surprise' you are dependent on him rigging the election.
Elections are won on popular vote cast by the majority who know who they are voting for before the elections.
If you would have to 'surprise' the majority in order to win the election. It means you are planning to rig the elections.

Plain and simple..Ko ju be yen lo.
