USA chose not look after their poor hence why they embarked on endless meaningless war. Obviously they know the poor are the blacks rather than the than look after their poor they embark on endless war jamboree.

The so called democratic countries are really not doing well. China is number 2 country in the world out of every 3 electrical cars sold 2 is from china not bad from a benovalent Dictator.

The so called UK,Japan and South Korea are all on a downward trend.

China's poor are still more than America's poor even percentage wise. America has shown that democracy is still better than autocracy or whatever.
And Japan and UK and Korea are not on any downward slide. They're still doing well, better than the likes of china.

KnowAll:
Scary to think that all the leaders mentioned has been some sort of benevolent dictator. Forget to even mention China. Has democracy failed 😳

You have to look at the world's number one democracy, America, to know that democracy has not failed and is the best form of government.

I disagree completely with the OP. Why didn't Nigeria develop when we had military rule? Why didn't Equatorial guinea develop?
Why is Japan and Korea with democracy doing well?
What about Britain, Germany, etc?

Obafemi Awolowo was premier of the western region for just three years. No leader in Africa has rivaled his achievement till now. Give the typical Nigerian leaders 100 years, they'll still fail.

The most useless governor in the history of Oyo state

CodeTemplar:
Google about Ayetoro, Ondo state. The town has been destroyed by the sea,why isnt tinubu doing Ondo Atlantic ?

Your hypocrisy is unparalleled.

Was Tinubu president when Eko Atlantic started?
The project was conceived when he was governor of Lagos. Some of you u are just too stupidd

CodeTemplar:
A typical babylonia project. You ignore the next piece of land and say you want to build a house that reaches into the heavens. One man is forced to wait for the last man to complete his house before building his upon it.
It also means the foundation hass to reach the middle of the earth in order to support endless height of fool.

Very foolish idea. This is why God gave us Igbo Hausa and Yoruba. So we can disagree and stop such error and wastage.

You shouldn't condemn everything. That singular project stopped the taking over of Victoria island by the ocean surge.
Don't let hatred kill you.

So with what's on ground, your major concern remains the Igbos? Those people kidnapped are Yorubas like you and you should be blaming the government for where we find ourselves as a country but I guess tribalism has eaten too deeply into you for sound judgement to be possible.

Counterigbolies:
so if Tinubu leaves instead of asking for strong security reforms, will that stop the kidnapping?

After Jonathan left, did the problem leave?

What is the assurance that if tinubu leaves like Jonathan, this won't repeat itself?

Answer my questions first

Does this make any sense to you?
Who is stopping Tinubu from going after the terrorists since you and him know that they're being sponsored by the opposition?

Bakrabas:
The picture is Propaganda. The person that upload this suppose to be banned forever on Nairaland.

thank you but what you posted is not complete. Where is the picture from if not Nigeria?

I don't know what name to call anybody that votes this party again

muyico:
Exactly
Evans kidnappers
shey nah fulani??

Many of the kidnappers are fulanis

Anybody, Yoruba or otherwise, who votes for this party doesn't know what he's doing

That thing don start again

Counterigbolies:
that's what obi built for them so u shouldn't b surprised.

He made them get drunk so they don't think of his bad administration

Who in his sane mind will compare airport to beer factory?

Don't let hatred blind you. Beer factory brings employment and revenue, far more than airport which will end up as a white elephant project.
Beer factory or not, people will still drink and get drunk if they want

ogolemati:
Agbero chairman will not win .beside only idiots will vote for him

I don't think any serious minded human being will vote for Tinubu again. I mean, what one thing can you point to?

Politics main aim is to run the country properly. But in Nigeria it is the opposite

akaahs:
There was jubilation all across the country when Jonathan lost the general elections until now, we all know really care for the people

Abi. Did they not jubilate when Jonathan was booted out? Only to start cursing Buhari because of Tinubu

Basic123:
You must be a kid
Or you just dey cap

I'm probably old and wise enough to be your uncle. And I'm not carping either.
Obasanjo sanctioned the killings in Odi and that other place, vthe name escapes me now. Several political killings and corrupt practices also happened during Obasanjo's time.
Under Tinubu, Nigerians have been so enervated to the extent that they're confused about the way out or forward. Killings go on wantonly as well. All kinds of nonstate actors have taken over. Nigeria today is more or less a warzone.

What really has changed for the masses? Pray, tell me

Burob:
Only the lazy minded helplessly helpless people that cannot help themselves in the Zoo of this democrazy, are waiting for a messiah in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Stop grasping at straws. Nobody is looking for a messiah in a human being except people like you that are hiding their pain and frustration behind online braggadocio.

Simple question: do you think Tinubu has done well?
He begin talk something else. Wetin we ask am wetin he dey talk?

Burob:
Hahaha very funny, I no blame u. u go just dey waste your time, even your advocate David Hundeyin done dey complain say em done tire for exile in GH, no where like home .

Stay back & fight the power in Naija as a public enemy, by the time President Tinubu hands over in 2031, u go start with another formula.

Can you honestly say Tinubu has done well?

bewisemasses:
If ur workplace, church and kids sch is close to ur house why do u need a car.
Nigerians mentality is showoff. Its why we go for cars when it's not a necessity

You are wrong. Having a car is a necessity. There are times when I'm so stranded I wished I had a car. They're times you need to move certain goods and loads and you know having a car would make it easier.
Even abroad where the transport systems work, people still buy cars

buygala:
Good of you to motivate us with Internet pictures

Very good....

I don't mean to brag tho...but this is my Boeing 737...my loyal companion which puts food on my table...Show me your own aeroplane ✈️ so that we can motivate each other.

Nigerians are very funny

Lukiss145:
A lot of people are now saying Peter Obi for president, please just tell Nigerians why we should vote for him. Mind you don't not mention Tinubu, Just state your reasons that's all.

He is the only former governor who didn't ask his state to build him a house and buy him cars or collect pension after service as governor.
Tinubu as rich as he is collects pension from Lagos state

Refinedbeing:
This dude is the biggest clown and conspiracist I’ve ever known my whole life. I mean who told this clown the so called whites even care about his black a$$. Same Abacha he claimed was working for his people against the whites wishes died and there was jubilation all across his own country. I wonder how bad it can get to constantly delude oneself and still take pride in it. Like dude WTF.

Hundeyin need to seek help really. I know someday his conspiracist a$$ will still claim Seun, Mynd44, fergie001, and others are all CIA assets. Everyone on earth is a CIA asset except the modafvck3r. WTH

What did abacha do wrong that Obasanjo and Tinubu have not done worse?
Nigerians weren't this terrorized and hungry during the days of Abacha

Lalami3232:
Madam as you sabi forget everything, why you no forget to ask the guy for money?
Nigerian women sef ... Tomorrow you go see dem asking so desperate for a husband by attending churches, prayer houses, miracle challenge, social media crying and begging for a man etc. I keep on saying this and I will say it again, "99% of women had good men who wanted to marry them in their prime. Na either her wrong choice or character na drive the man comot". See as she dey gaslight the man 😁, dem must always get an excuse for everything bad. Nowadays, dem don tag runs as hookup, bad character as mood swing. That's really not my business sha, my business na to advise men wey dey marry this week say DNA test is important than naming ceremony for non-virgin partners. If she had sexual discipline, you would have met the door tightly shut and sealed.

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

Even if you marry her a virgin do DNA. Don't trust any woman. Marrying her a virgin does not mean you are the one she likes.
Uriah must have married Bathsheba a virgin in those days. David no Bleep am give am belle? She no move enter David's house after David killed her husband of which she knows?
Dey there dey play

abbasajao:
Just for photos though.

In what capacity is he meeting?

As an elder statesman

Ofunaofu:
He is already taking action and carrying himself presidentially.

Nigeria truly missed it in 2023. By now, nobody would be talking about Tinubu’s mandate of hardship and death that has engulfed the entire country in barely two years of his regime.

Obviously this man will do better than Tinubu in terms of welfare of the citizens. Even Atiku will do a better job than Tinubu because he knows that the suffering in the north is even worse than in the South. But that is not to say all of them are not the same. But Tinubu seems to be more disconnected from reality than the others

If after everything I took my time to explain in my other post...


You still simplify it and still focused on the hunger part then perhaps you are the one clasping at straws.


Normally even the first post was enough for a discerning mind to understand.

Fortunately I am not obligated to make sense to everyone. Especially one that might be deliberately refusing pick up the nuance of the argument. Or too slow to understand.


Good day too!

There's no nuance anywhere, mister. You are criticizing blindly like the average human being. You got caught out and started turning and twisting.
I don't expect you to own up to your obvious bias, at the same time don't expect everyone to foolishly swallow it hook line and sinker.

Do you now admit that the reason lecturers' strikes are no longer prevalent is beyond hunger and poor lecturers welfare?
Our lecturers put themselves above others. If they feel a threat to their livelihood, they'll fight, unless you are too young to know that

brain54:
Calling what I said “rubbish” is overreaction...

And overly simplistic.



First of all “lecturers are not striking because they are not hungry” is not meant to be a literal hunger claim.


It’s shorthand for economic pressure and welfare dissatisfaction not whether they have food on the table that morning.


Strikes in universities are rarely about immediate starvation but about relative deprivation, salary erosion, unpaid entitlements, funding of institutions, and working conditions.



Yes lecturers are formally employed. Yes, they receive salaries. But that doesn’t automatically mean their compensation is competitive or sustainable especially in an environment where salaries lose value due to inflation, allowances and agreements are delayed or not implemented or infrastructure/work conditions deteriorate.



Access to grants or occasional travel is not a substitute for systemic welfare.

That’s like saying a hospital nurse is “fine” because they once attended a foreign conference.


Secondly, your framing misses how strikes actually work. People don’t “down tools” only when they are desperate. They strike when
negotiation breaks down, leverage is available and collective action is the only remaining pressure tool.



ASUU strikes historically have been about agreements not implemented over years not sudden hunger.

If you want to criticize meaningfully then critique the actual issues which are inflation, erosion of salaries and institutional decay.

Don't simplify my comment into hungry or not hungry
!

Now you are grasping at straws. There was no ambiguity whatsoever about what you said.
"Lecturers are hungry and that's why they're not protesting. "
Wasn't hunger one of the factors that pushed them to strikes in the past? If they're not striking now like they did regularly in the past, a more discerning mind would put that beyond hunger.
Good day to you.
