Because your mental laziness & so many millions of Nigerians is unprecedented.

IndianRomeo:
everything is Tinubu's fault.

But in reality, if you have dilapidated schools, blame your Governor and LGA Chairman. Nursery, primary, and secondary schools are their constitutional responsibilities. If you lack pipe-borne water, that is a failing of your state government. If you lack local clinics, face your LGA Chairman.

Read the Constitution before you join any protest against bad governance. Only bad citizens do not know their governments' responsibilities.

The President and the Federal Government are responsible for:

Defence and the Armed Forces
Foreign policy
Police
The Civil Service
Paramilitary Forces
Ports (though the President can permit states to own their ports)
Interstate Roads
Railways (though the President can grant a discussion for states to build railways)
Fiscal and monetary policy
Tertiary education (though they can dabble in secondary education)
National emergencies

The President and the Federal Government share the following responsibilities with the states:

Taxation
Housing
Healthcare
Information
Road infrastructure
Dams
Aviation
Environmental Management
Inland waterways

The following have been privatised or deregulated:

Power
The oil sector and many agencies or corporations, like the NNPC
Agriculture

We are no longer under military rule, where General Sani Abacha sat down in Abuja and controlled everything. If you are unaware of how your government works, you will end up blaming and fighting President Tinubu for what your Governor and LGA Chairperson are responsible for.

Opposition politicians who know that you are ignorant of how government works will capitalise on your lack of awareness to gaslight you so you can turn against the President and the Federal Government.
Copied .

Tinubuadvocate:
Hmmm but wike should have just leave this man to complete his tenure its not necessary he support him next election. And also the man is very perfect gentleman.

nairalanda1:
So, you want them to overtrhow the government and bring themselves into power.

LOL...

I lived under army rule, my friend. It was the same thing that is happening now, that was happening then. Looting? Live. Corruption? Live. Naira falling? Well well. People running abroad....live and direct.

Plus even if army took over, they will still face the same debt that is on our back from IMF and the Chinese. Any economic policy has to be taken with that debt in mind. That is how we got SAP Under IBB. Accumulated debts from the Shagari and after the Buhari admin. Plus the ones we accumulated from 1960.

Many of you don't even want to do the hard work of democracy. Na to sit down and to chop you wan do. If you want better government, get up and get doing. If not, don't ask the army to do it for you. We are still dealing with the mess they left behind.

Salewa97:
Tinubu is a president that knows what he is doing.

The national assembly should be commended for their swift action in ratifying the state of emergency.

DomPerignon:
I hope when BAT and Wike achieves this feat you won't turn around and accuse Nigerians of being tribalists and accusing them of refusing to vote Obi out of tribal sentiments as you foolisy are doing now

Omoawoke:
People really think they can defeat Tinubu for a second term? An incumbent Jagaban ??



If you really dreaming he will lose the 2027 election, you must be living in a fantasy world

Better wake up on time.. only one thing can stop Tinubu from not finishing his 8years tenure and that’s death!

Saturday Jibes: Tinubu Is A Lucky Man!!

1999-2007, Obj attempted a complete removal of fuel subsidy. He failed.

2007-2009, Yaradua couldn't stomach the hike in fuel price foisted on him by Obj. He reverted!

2009-2015, Jonathan was harangued. He increased the pump price. It was rejected. He reduced.

2015-2023, Buhari increased the pump price of fuel. Buhari couldn't go any further.

From 1999-2023, billions and trillions of naira were wasted on fuel subsidy.

Check am!

Nigeria's fuel consumption is around 5m litres/day. Subsidy was paid for about 60m ltrs/day of fuel import receipts.

Criminality! Check out the logic!

Nigeria imports 60m litres of subsidized fuel per day.

Nigerians consume only about 5m litres out of this 60m ltres.

About 55m litres of fuel, subsidized by Nigerian govt, were smuggled to Cameroon, Benin, Niger and beyond or never imported but paid for.

This is a mess! Past presidents tolerated from 1999-2023!? Unbelievable!

All the while, our national refineries were sabotaged. TAMs could resuscitate any of them.

Tens and thousands of certificates were issued to investors to build refineries in Nigeria.

Who invests in an economy where there is no price security?

Now, fuel subsidy is gone. The sector is deregulated completely. Price war is here!

Leadership needs people with balls!! Hard balls!

Tinubu came screaming "emilokan". Some said Tinubu is gone. He survived.

Tinubu came screaming "fuel subsidy is gone". Some thought he was mad but things remain quiet.

Dangote Refinery is operating independently without subsidy demands.

Our refineries are creeping back to life, one after another.

Tinubu's LG autonomy is now a reality. Past Presidents dreaded!

Tinubu's Tax Reform Bill got some people threatening. The 36 governors have accepted and endorsed it.

Student Loan! Another masterstroke! Our past presidents didn't think about it.

Leadership needs balls! Patriotism needs balls too!!

Don't count it an achievement when we squander the future of our children today.

Tinubu needs to be studied as a course, he is very unpredictable so much so, his enemies cannot predict his next moves. All these Governors, rather than learn from Jagaban, they're busy fighting their predecessors.
Show me any projects of Buhari that Tinubu has abandoned?, none. He's going to complete everything and also build his own projects, that's how to build legacy and write your name in gold. Past Presidents have come and cancel projects of their predecessors to score cheap political points. This very project must be completed, we have already obtained loans for it and work is ongoing, it would be foolish to stop it. It is also very important to send a message to the Junta in Nigeria republic that Nigeria is not having any beef with the country. Niger is our little brother, if we use one hand to smack them on the butt, we use the other hand to draw them closer.
