Other Nigerians are waiting for you people to do your worst because Tinubu must win 2027 election whether the north like it or not, worst still you people should push to have arewa Muslim country and leave other people alone to enjoy their peace.

He’s not a northerner. He’s from Obi’s region

Toh…shikena

Gotocourt:
Opposition are getting it tough , ruling party pressing their neck😥

Obidient, you don’t hate corruption again? Or you only hate corruption when it’s not your favourite politician engaging in it?

nairalanda1:
If we had chased out subsidy in 1993, or even in 2012, and let the market set prices, not government, it won't have just been dangote announcing construction of refinery in 2013, there would have been three or four others doing same.

There is a cold reason why for decades they have been telling Nigerians to remove subsidy....it was to provide a level playing field for people who wanted to build refineries...and attract investment to do so. Subsidy meant that the only person able to attract investment was Dangote, and that was because the investors figured out that if subsidy induced losses impacted the refinery in the future, AMCON will just take over Dangote's other businesses and use the cash to pay them off.

Not everything na oppression. Nigerians should have kept quiet in 2012. Instead, everyone shouted that GEJ Na oppressor (me I was not his supporter and never have been, but there is a time to put aside opposition, and look at why some decisions need to be taken). See what we have done to ourselves.

Anyway, BUA dey, there are also 4 extant working private refineries.

Stop the misinformation and being clever by half.
Jonathan didn’t remove any subsidy, what he did was to increase fuel prices by partially reducing the subsidy paid on it. You can’t remove subsidy and still set prices
Even Tinubu didn’t remove subsidy the day he announced it because they were still setting prices and paying some form of subsidy.
Subsidy wasn’t totally removed until Dangote started production

nairalanda1:
The thing is, most of you love your tribalism, and it is begining to sound sad.

All this igbo vs yourba things, that both you and igbos play, e never benefit your life.

Good evening, and good luck

Must everyone be Igbo or Yoruba? Anyone that calls out your duplicity must be Yoruba

nairalanda1:
I'm sure you will call me ipob and obidient, but this your tribalist nonsense is not necessary.

I ain't an igbo guy by the way, but you are going to assume I am , so eff it

See how you’re huffing and puffing like a locomotive just to prove you’re not whom you actually are.
I don’t see you huff and puff like this to prove you are not from the North or SW when you occasionally defend their position

DomPerignon:
And how do one consume without being productive and gainfully employed?

Brilliant response. Let me know when that pseudo-intellectual nairalanda1 replies you

Great100000:
Who would be the manager of this team.

Diego Simeone or Gattuso

Attacks on churches weren't this common until the recent Trump threats
Someone (foreign or local) is trying hard to give credence to Christian genocide/persecution to justify US intervention
There's freedom of religion in the North, I am a Muslim and I have Christian friends and colleagues who practice their religion without any intimidation

Even the top striker for my street team will score a hat-trick in a match against part-time alfas

Left to me, the FG should have left Kanu and Ekpa to finish work for South-East. Probably this man would have been long gone

Freshtruth:
Give Goodluck Jonathan that ticket all this defections will be useless

Why not Pitobi for a new and better Nigeria?

nairalanda1:
Yo, both you and PDP and even pitobi are all together in the same party. We are witnessing two of the many factions of the same party fighting each other.

I am apolitical.

Please shut the trap, you’re not apolitical

nairalanda1:
The voice of weke but the hand of emilokhen.

It is irresponsibility to expect Emilokan to help you put your house in order

nairalanda1:
The problem is, tinubu removed subsidy because he was backed into a corner, not because 'sane economics'

Even now, he is keeping subsides on power, which is a nice way of driving off sane investors from the sector.

Also, lol...you guys don't know what our real problem is since independence. All these positive reports have been there, from 1960, most people still suffer

If you like, call me obidient and ipob

It doesn’t matter what you think, he did what no other president has done by removing the subsidy. We know you’re not happy about it but he has written his name in gold and history will be kind to him. Now, rest

nairalanda1:
1.GEJ should have told buhari, tinubu, and company in 2012 to go and sit down, and remove the subsidy anyway. That's the mark of a bold leader. (Tinubu anyway had karma come to face him in 2023...when he realized that things were really bad).

After all, the buck in 2012 stopped at GEJ table.

Also, lol...Nigerians have been opposed to subsidy removal for years. Back in 1992, and even in 2005, anytime subsidy removal was proposed, people always violently said no.2012 was not an anomaly. Even now, most nigerians are opposed, but government is pressing on because they know that IMF won;t loan them any more money if they keep subsidy, and the subsidy was also tending towards eating almost all our annual budgets....

Not all Nigerians were decieved....personally, I was not a GEJ or PDP or even APC and tinubu supporter back then, and in 2011/12, Idid some reading, and realized why subsidy was bad, and what past governments had been trying to tell us up to that point.

2.Times were hard under Obasanjo, Yaradua and GEJ, even with rises in oil prices...most people were suffering and complaining of price increases back then. Times never change in nigeria.

Just commend Tinubu for doing what your GEJ couldn’t do and move on, instead of all these dilly dallying. I know you’re not happy with the report

Beremx:
Tinubu met a bag of rice at 45k. If he doesn't bring it down to that amount, he's not serious

He met minimum wage at 30k, it’s now 70k. Something that was 10k under PDP. If Tinubu cant bring minimum wage back to 10k under PDP I won’t vote him

6 - crush and swallow the bones

seunoyeleyep:
Slashes seems to have assumed another meaning entirely in this corntree

Dis suppose no cause fight haba, you can continue buying your own at the old price

Buhari is the only politician with integrity in Nigeria

Judolisco:
Seriously our politicians no get shame.... They go over there, see roads, they see schools, they see transport systems and they will come back to Nigeria and give citizens substandard services and even boast of it.....

Will Peter obi see mad men roaming on the streets of London? to the extent of taking advice from one.....

This is so funny

chijiokecosmos:
Northerners that decide who wins presidential election never learn. The mumus will still bring their backwardness attitude come 2027.

You are the mumu not norterners. Will your Obi bring back subsidy he promise to remove or you just want Igbo president. We won't still vote him do your worst

Obidents will pick that of Kenya over Nigeria

Just say Obidients are terrorist organization

We don't care

But all these are actually true

seunmsg:
It’s also subsidy. The only difference is that FG is not paying any importer direct subsidy like it was done in the past. NNPC is the sole importer and they under recover the cost.
