EponObi:There is no need dashing governors money. No one will be useful when u dash them money, simple. If u cant practice regional govt let everuone mine their own resources and handle their income, then take back the money dashed to governors and put them directly where Nigerians in general will feel it. This bus he provided now, will it affect daily hustler in Nigeria who consistute more of the population. Daily hustlers in the informal sector. The same money u gave governors, use that money to subsidize our fuel, period. U are dashing governos money so some of them will claim they used 1.5billion to conduct mass wedding, another will say, they used 1billion for church outreach, another will say, they provided 5bilion for religous vacation.. FG will spend 15billion on 39 SUVs. So, why? Why cant these funds be used to subsidize fuel which affects all Nigerians instead of selective few enjoying it. I run my own hustle, there is no single benefit from govt in Nigeria that reaches us. |
Namaster:I want to enage with u with facts, are u ready? So, when govt made threshold 800k, are u saying that if 90percent cant pay it, that is a great stuff to celebrate? Do u know what 800k per year is? We arent talking about 800k per month. I know my income and I know how hard it is. Answer these questions: What percentage of Nigerians earn up to 500k per month? Now, with 500k per month as a man with wife, two kids and wife. If that is the total income the family generate, what comfort can they afford? I want to hear. Can they purchase and maintain ride? Can they comfortably afford unlimited internet? How about enrolling their two kids in a good private school? Can the family afford traveling via flight? Can the family afford vacation? How about small weekend enjoyment outing that would cost u nothing less than 70k. I am waiting for ur answers.. G#d will purnish people like u for lying to this country. Your type is the enemy of this country. Do u understand the rate at which naira has lost value? Do u know that value of 25m last year is not same now, it is completely broken. Do u know that u need to earn over 1.5m per month to have a family of wife, two kids and your self and able to afford and maintain a V6 engine ride? Do u know that? Do u know that even at that, u will struggle to be able to build a house. But govt has already tagged u a rich fellow and taxed u up to 24% of ur income at that rate. Do u understand these facts? Look, I am not a political ass licker, I am a solid softare developer and have worked very hard for my life, Nigeria gave me nothing. Nigeria is full of wicked entities called politicians and your likes. Do u know how hungry and jobless millions are out there? Families are struggling badly. Do u know how fast 700k finishes in your hand now? Let me give u a simple break down. To comfortably buy bottle water which is sold between 1600 to 2k in Nigeria today for a family of 4 (husband, wife, two kids) per month, you need at least 10 packs. That is roughly 1700 multiplied by 10. That is the least u can buy and u definately will need more. That is almost 20k alone on water. A family that earns 500k per month wont go for that then, they will go for satchet water. That is what your likes celebrate. You celebrate when most Nigerians live in abject poverty and ridiculous lower standard. We havent mentioned how much u need to purchase meat for such family size per month if u must feed well on protain.. U havent mentioned how much u need to spend on eggs per month for such family to meet up required quantity. By the time u add internet subscription for wife and husband if they arent going for unlimited which they wont even go in the first place due to shortage of cash. U know how much is left for transportation, feeding, and saving for house rent? On top of that, u will tax such family up to 18 percent income tax aside VAT. Th$nder will fire una types |
deetin:I really cant understand why some people decide to lie to them selves. The country is completely unbearable. |
Ritchiee:No wahala, we will keep removing those who failed in their promises so that others can sit up. If we do it 5 times, others will learn. We cant keep paying for the luxury cost of the politicians. |
Mr. President, it is unwise to push Nigerians into this level of hardship. Let us not pretend that all is well. No. Stop lying. Stop pretending. You alone implemented these policies: removing fuel subsidy, floating the naira, and increasing and widening the tax base. These are extreme economic measures that should have been introduced progressively and with proper safeguards. Sir, you got this wrong. Those bearing the cost are the lower-income earners, the middle class, and ordinary citizens. The very rich and politically connected are largely insulated from the consequences. I can explain this in detail. Looking at your income tax policy, where you stated that those earning ₦800,000 and below will not pay income tax, it shows a disconnect from the reality of Nigeria today. With the current value of our naira and the cost of living, anyone earning that amount is not rich. Many are struggling to survive. Sir, review your policies. The level of hardship is too much. Nigerians do not deserve this. Ordinary Nigerians should not be paying for the consequences created by the political class. The fact that we are a country where many citizens are uninformed, divided, or politically naive should not give politicians the freedom to maltreat the entire population. Who should be affected by these policies? Politicians should be affected first. Past leaders who wasted and stole our common wealth, whether presidents, governors, ministers, or anyone else, should be prosecuted and face severe consequences. You removed the fuel subsidy, claiming Nigeria could no longer sustain it. Yet Nigeria can still sustain the luxurious lifestyle of politicians. A recent example is the federal government's reported budget of ₦15 billion for 39 SUVs. This is only one example among countless wasteful projects and outright embezzlement. A family earning ₦500,000 per month—a husband, wife, and two children—is practically poor today. They cannot even afford basic comforts. They are in survival mode. This is one reason we have a severe housing deficit. Most citizens are struggling to survive while politicians are building mansions and accumulating properties. Why? If we are going to claim that Nigeria is broke, then that reality must also be reflected in the salaries, allowances, and benefits of politicians. You should have put the right structures in place before imposing this burden on Nigerians. As Atiku rightly said, this is like punishing Nigerians for the incompetence of the ruling class. They created the problem, yet they are largely shielded from its consequences. Meanwhile, ordinary Nigerians are paying heavily for it. There are many loopholes in Nigeria's democracy that should have been addressed before implementing these policies. You are taking money and distributing it to governors, yet there are still no effective systems in place to combat corruption and embezzlement. How does that make sense? One governor spent ₦1.5 billion on a mass wedding program. Another spent almost ₦1 billion on church outreach. The federal government is budgeting ₦15 billion for SUVs. How can a country claim to be broke while spending public funds this way? If you are truly serious about reform, we should be cutting more than 60% of the allowances, benefits, and excessive packages given to politicians. We should enact stronger anti-corruption laws and, more importantly, enforce them without compromise. We should be investing heavily in education so that families do not have to depend on expensive private schools. That would significantly reduce the cost of raising a family. We should be fixing electricity so that the impact of fuel subsidy removal is reduced. Right now, Nigerians need fuel to power their cars, homes, and businesses. In a functional country, fuel should mainly be for transportation, not for generating electricity. We should be fixing local government roads to reduce vehicle maintenance costs. We should be seeing improvements in healthcare and other essential services. These are the kinds of things subsidy savings should be funding—not luxury, waste, and reckless spending. Today, a grown man with a family begged me for ₦1,000. Mr. President, this is too much. If things continue this way, history will judge your administration very harshly. Did you cut the cost of governance? Did you reduce the extravagant benefits enjoyed by politicians? Who convinced us that we need two chambers of the National Assembly when, in practice, they often pass whatever the executive wants? Why are we maintaining both at such enormous cost? The same question applies to many State Houses of Assembly. In many cases, they merely rubber-stamp the decisions of governors. The ideals behind these institutions are important, but in Nigeria, those ideals are often not being upheld. These are the conversations we should have been having. Why should states that ban or restrict industries that generate significant VAT revenue still benefit from revenue generated elsewhere without accountability? These are some of the difficult questions we must address. How do we stop governors from running to the Senate to avoid being investigated? How do we ensure investigations are efficient, non-partisan, and ruthless against corruption? We failed to tackle the core issues. Instead, we keep saying Nigeria needs more money while politicians continue to live large. That is the contradiction many Nigerians can no longer ignore. Then we are taxed more while losing nearly every benefit that democracy is supposed to provide. As it stands today, if I needed emergency healthcare services, I could very well die because such services are either unavailable or unreliable. My generator repairer recently lost his home to a fire. No fire service came when it mattered. They arrived only after the fire had finished its work. You cannot get security assistance quickly. In many cases, you cannot get it at all. If your phone is stolen and you go to the police station, there is a good chance you will be asked for money before any action is taken. Ordinary Nigerians are largely left to fend for themselves when it comes to security. Please, sir, we know politicians are often viewed as heartless and disconnected from the suffering of the people. But can this hardship at least be tempered with some compassion and care, even if only a little? Because if we continue down this path, there may not be much of a country left for the children we are raising today. Poverty on this scale will inevitably fuel insecurity. When a monthly income of ₦500,000 cannot guarantee a family a decent standard of living, it should force a serious reconsideration of current policies. Sir, please consider the plea of ordinary Nigerians. The burden is becoming unbearable, and many people are running out of hope. |
D for sure One Nine is written together. But Four and Eight are separated by coma. So, it is 4, 8, one nine which is 9. 489 |
Dogalmighty17:Exactly, why take away what benefited the masses only to use it to fund governors when u dont have any means of tackling massive corruption and wastage. Even FG is doing same. FG has a budget of 15billion for 39 SUV. Like why na? For a poor country, why na? |
This type of stuff usually fears me, what if it is not really true? What if? I read where someone said may god not allow u be in a situation where ur only witness is god ![]() |
Hungrychicken:hahahaha Yet more people die in Nigeria than SA ![]() So, u mean herdsmen wiping out an entire village is less than one or two person getting killed in SA? Oga, do u know what it means to kidnap an entire school children? Do u know what it means to lose generals ? Do u know what it means for a billionaire to be kidnapped? Do u know what it means for a king to be kidnapped? Omo, Nigeria problems too much, make una leave other countries alone. |
IamAtAnger:The koko is Nigerians are being slautered. An Oba just got kidnapped, Army generals gunned down this year alone is crazy. My problem with Nigerians is that they will leave their own problem which is more than anything else and be so focused on Russia, Iran, South Africa ![]() They invade villages and slaughter people like flies here. |
WriteerNg:Hahahaahaha But Nigerians are being slaughtered in hundreds, entire village slaughtered. Even kings get kidnapped here, they just kidnapped one in Kwara |
Roads in bad state while FG is spending 15billion to buy 39 SUV ![]() |
FSBoperator:When we tell people that these are the solutions to Nigeria, they wont believe. They want to die on top forced by fire Unity. Infact, we have many things to decentalize, including election. That way, if Kano wants to have a population of 500 billion, that is fine for them. If another state wants to cub population, that is fine by them. Ideally, region is better. We already have 6 regions, we can actually do this. Nigeria's problem is not more tax, it is wastage and corruption. It is like the very few ruling class dey ball on the head of the entire country. U can imagine a thug with no brain balling hard becus he is a politician. Someone with no innovation |
Burob:You think you can talk trash here. There are different types of tax: personal income tax Value added tax company income tax various govt levies. We have been paying all these taxtes as Nigerians, the one that wasnt too popular was personal income tax due to the fact that most Nigerians are unemployed and run informal sector. So, WTF are u talking about? Do u think that only personal income tax is the only valid tax? I dont care how the so called tax is distributed, the koko is govt took money from me. FG generated over 600 million from META value added tax alone. Those value added tax by META were paid by Nigerian hustlers advertsing via META. Anytime client pays for my service, the Value added tax is taken from my income and sent to govt and we are talking about huge numbers here. All your bank taxes came from Nigerians as they add the various taxes to you and I. So, what dey f@ck are u talking about? And what has happened to our Gas, oil, minierals, water, money? We pay for all the FG agencies such as passport, driver license, etc. So, what is govt doing with all these cash? Why should a broke country be buying luxury for politicians? If I say I am broke and end up buying car of 300 million, wont u swear for me? Answer me! |
Burob:6 figures for sure. VAT also goes to them, and we have lots and lots of VAT.. And the govt is completely in charge of my state resources which god gave us. |
givedemwotowoto:Like these politicians dey tax me and dey buy luxury and enjoy luxury, while telling me to suffer because Nigeria is broke. Arent we all supposed to do the suffering? Very wasteful country! |
A country claimed to be broke, taxing hell out of her citizens, removing subsidy left, right and center, but the same country buys luxury for the politicians. Please, do broke people enjoy luxury? What is wrong with Nigeria? And why are we more wicked than white people? |
madridguy:Nigeria's problem is corruption and wastage. Until these two are fought, nothing will work. The subsidy was only a problem becus of corruption. So, Nigeria needs to focus on fighting corruption. Corruption in Nigeria is too massive. People loot for free. Then the entire system is bad because governors loot and the sitting president cant do anything, he needs them to win election for him So, the stuff starts with fixing electoral system, fighting corruption and wastage. Imagine budgeting 15billion for 39 SUV. A poor country living large is very funny. These guys are super rich, and na we dey pay from our nose. It is too much. For the first time, I got voters card, will surely vote against this govt, it has caused me more pains than good. How can they be living large but ask us to sacrifice? Why cant all of us sacrifice then? |
vanitybutiwanti:But Tinubu can win and cant fight corruption? So, Nigeria is hopeless, is that it? |
Beautifulday:Exactly what I keep saying., Imagine budgeting 15billion for 39 SUV. Like WTF! These guys live in luxury then tell me to pay more tax that Nigeria is broke. Do broke people drive luxury cars? So, they cant buy Tokumbo lexus SUV for empowerment mobility? Something that shouldnt cost more than 25million. Nigeria is a crime scene. Imagine crying u are broke but buy 15billion naira worth of SUV |
vanitybutiwanti:So, u mean we should lose hope and say, oh, Nigeria corruption cant be fixed? Well, we have tried Tinubu, he couldnt tackle the main issue of Nigeria which are wastage and corruption. We will try someone else. Since u havent tried the other, keep quiet. The one we have tried didnt fix the core issues |
HacheNoire:How has Tinubu destroyed corruption which is the main issue with Nigeria? U stopped subsidy, took money and gave to governors and house of rep members. Like u took away money from Nigerian masses and gave them to men and women who loot like tomorrow no dey and u have very weak corruption fighting agencies and mechnanism in place. Like, WTF? And no opposition will give u blue print of their own idea, never! |
Cyberterror:So, what and how is corruption being tackled here to ensure money is used? Or u dont understand tge game? loot and support? |
Napata77:Since FG is in charge of EFCC and other agencies,how are they tackling corruption? Because u took money helping poor Nigerians and gave them to governors but u have no strong mechanism to fight corruption, then these governors loot the money, how did the money now benefit Nigerians? |
AntiChristian:Some of U are daft in this country. What is cut Ur coat according ? So, why aren't we saying politicians should cut their coat accordingly? Tell me why a broke country will be budgeting 15billion for 39 SUV ? So politicians don't cut their coat but I must cut mine? I don't know why Nigerians have accepted their leaders to loot them to death. |
Mumu country. My own is why FG budgeted 15bilion for 39 SUV. For what? Why would a broke country be affording such luxury for politicians mobility and expect me to suffer and sacrifice? |
CharlesCNG:why are u people not talking about looting? What is wrong with u guys? Remove subsidy but fix corruption first is perfectly fine. How do u remove subsidy that has wrecked down 90% of Nigerians, while the very few rich and elites from political ruling class never gets affected but still dey loot and ball as they did even before, so what is the benefits? Pls, talk to me, I am very interested in this particular talk. If this moda f$cker had fixed corruption first before removing subsidy or attended to electricity first to reduce the effect, we wont suffering this way. Do u understand that 90% of Nigerians are struggling badly while the same corrupt leaders who caused these problems are balling? Like u can ball even harder once u indicate inteerstes to support his re-election. Them swear for una? How can a poor country be buying 39 SUV for 15 billion. plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Answer me, as a poor person, will u spend 300m on a car? A country claimed to be poor, suffering her citizens but buys SUV for 15billion for mobility. Like, WTF is wrong with u guys? Answer these questions. I wnt to hear from u |
Ttalk:So, your common sense will generate electricity needed for production? Your common sensse will fix insecurity needed to be tackled so that farmers can produce foods? Your common sense is what will fix FG who will spend 15billion to buy 39 SUV? Your common sense will fix house of rep member who spent 1billion for church outreach? Your common sense will fix 1.5billion spent for mass wedding? Bro, thunder that will hit u is pressing up. U cant f#ol all of us. Some of us are way smarter. Do u know how much gets missing in Nigeria? |
onuman:Which development ? Some of Ur best roads today were built by military. The ones civilians are building dey collapse in few years. Under civilian rule: Electricity is poor Water is non existence Security is wack Football is dead becus of dead infrastructures Healthcare is completely dead Public schools are in zero state. If U have heart emergency today in Nigeria, 99 percent with such emergency will die because of no proper emergency service anywhere. I can go on and on. |
LordBiden:Exactly what I have been saying but those ba£tards supporting this man who is doing the bids of Europeans will not let me rest. I am most likely going to vote for him. Govt should cut down on their luxurious lifestyle. Imagine this w&cked govt dey budget 15billion for 39 luxury car. Just imagine. How can a country that claimed to be poor spend such money? Is a broke man able to enjoy luxury ? Funny enough, the claimed the car is part of their programme for empowerment scheme. Meaning for mobility. Like Una no fit use lexus second hand from the US do mobility as a poor country. Nigeria is the only country that claims to be poor but spend heavily on politicians and their families. Why? Increase VAT on luxury stuff so that those who can afford will pay. Cut down on your useless 24 percent income tax because most who will suffer for it ate the average and struggling to build citizens which makes no sense. They know what they are doing. Ensure all FG universities have their agricultural department producing atleast one food for massive production. Very wicked leaders. |

, because u are yapping nonsense.
