Nigerian politics has changed.

Everybody has opened eye.

Even if you rig yourself into power as president or not, you must perform, because the scrutiny and pressure on you is just too intense, including from social media.

Especially from social media, where armies of millions of furious Nigerians are ready to descend on you if you screw up.

This is why we see how Tinubu hit the ground running from Day 1.

He cannot afford to be seen to be dulling.

You just have to perform in today’s Nigeria or you’re finished politically.

Also, it must be said that the Peter Obi phenomenon contributed to this rise in social media activism that is making the leaders sit up.

We’re getting there.

OkCornel:
BAT making sensible moves so far…

Observing keenly

As long as Nigeria progresses, I really don’t care who’s at Aso Rock.

Let’s think critically and leave emotions to the side.

Heck, I campaigned against BAT, but I’m seeing some positive signs in these early days. I hope he doesn’t disappoint like his predecessor.

You’re an intelligent, sensible, true Nigerian.

Thanks for showing political maturity.

PoliteActivist:
No, it's because... do you ever ask yourself how they became traditional rulers?? Because of atrocities and jubjugation of others perpetrated by their ancestors, including murders! No one elected them. You may be hailing someone whose ancestors killed, dehumanized, or enslaved your forefathers!

But I’m sure you were full of admiration for the coronation of King Charles.

Did you ask or care how many of your ancestors his monarchy slaughtered?

SLOVFO:
What's the government waiting for? All those money our politicians are wasting and looting could be put to good use here. Send the guy abroad for further trainings , empower him with a billion naira grant and see Nigeria exporting electric vehicles.

There we go. “Send abroad for further training”.

MUST EVERYTHING BE “ABROAD” FOR YOU PEOPLE?

UNA NO GET BRAIN?

WHY CAN’T HE RESEARCH AND DEVELOP HIS KNOWLEDGE HERE IN NIGERIA?

YOU PEOPLE ARE JUST SICK.

YOU JUST DON’T BELIEVE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WORTHWHILE WITHOUT WHITE FOLKS. WHY?

WHO MESSED WITH YOUR HEADS LIKE THIS?

Whobedatte:
U sure the black man is not a descendant of Lucifer ?

And the white man Hitler who lined up 6 million people and forced them into a gas chamber is a descendant of Angel Gabriel. Mumu.

savcy:
One thing I can never understand is, why a man who has the resource to buy as many exotic vehicles as he wishes would still go ahead and steal the ones he bought for the office of the governor. The greed of Nigeria's political class is automatic doom for this country. It's unbelievable.

It’s just greed. But they are not all like that. This situation of stealing govt vehicles does not happen everywhere.

Hatrick01:
just that biden's IQ is higher

Why, because he is a pink skinned man?

STUPID SLAVE.

lhordspy:
An unprofessional, unprincipled journalist always behaving like a kid, like a nuisance. He keeps pokenosing into different issue he has zero idea of, all to please the anti-Nigeria Obidient group. Is he the only journalist in Nigeria?

I pity him. He just messed with the wrong people. He think this is his regular Anti-Tinubu campaign of calumnies where everything slides. The hot-headed young Nigeria police officers who are hungry and angry, will show h!m pepper. He better retract his statements and issue an apology, instead of seeking public sympathy.

It is this same Rufai that said 40 brain boxes were stolen in Lagos. It is this same guy that said the governor of Zamfara declared 9trn as assets. When he was quizzed on it, he said it is based on 'trending news, shebi people were saying it now'

Modaf*cker.

He’s a disgrace.

joebeckz:
he's saying the truth.
I know a driver who works at benue state government house. He said they moved all the brand new cars and trucks to Rivers State.
Weeks before hand over. He was part of the convoy that drove. They left benue at 1:00am.
It is a pity.

THAT IS JUST DISGUSTING, AND IF THEY COULD DO THAT, JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY STOLE.

reiddecuti:
A reason to fail just like his predecessor.


This country is seriously sick and dying.

Leaders have to deliberately start taking responsibilities. Followers also need to deliberately start holding the leaders to accountability.

What do I know and why should I lament. Nigeria is still about to metamorphosize into a nation. Without that, we're all just fooling ourselves.

JUST SHUT UP. YOU’RE SENSELESS.

THE MAN IS SAYING THE PDP GOVERNOR LOOTED THE TREASURY, AND YOU’RE SAYING HE IS MAKING EXCUSES. ARE YOU STUPID?

HE IS SUPPOSED TO MANUFACTURE FUNDS FROM THIN AIR TO DEVELOP HIS STATE?

STUPID, CORRUPT IDIOTS.

Oakenshield:
Excuses dn start as if ortom wasn't in APC before. I hope u deliver and not blame ortom throughout

ANOTHER CORRUPT DEMON.

YOUR MORALS ARE TRULY IN THE GUTTER.

PDP LOOTING SPECIALISTS.

VinnyBaba:
This APC Rev father should STFU and focus on governing the state.

He is a Disgrace to the catholic church.

Didn't his Father, Buhari loot this Country, for 8years, without Achieving anything? 😏

YOU ARE AN ANIMAL.

JUSTIFYING CORRUPTION BASED ON DUBIOUS WHATABOUTISM.

Trump Charged With 7 Counts Of Criminality

Former US president Trump has been charged with 7 felonies and ordered to appear in court Tuesday next week.

He is the first US president to be charged with a crime in the entire history of the country.

More to come.

finestedim:
The past general elections left me with valuable experiences that will be indelible in my mind for the longest of time. The presidential election was where my interest lied, because the presidency and ofcourse the federal government is the life-wire of the country's development and progress. Who we chose or elected was vital to the entire growth of the country.

H.E Peter Obi was my preferred choice as former President Buhari's successor, not because of religious or tribal sentiments, but because I felt he was the best man for the job; bearing in mind the hardship and woes the APC has inflicted on Nigerian, as well as a lesser evil compared to other candidates who contested against him.

The outcome of the election was not what most Nigerians, especially the youths expected as Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared winner of the 2023 presidential election. Some said the election was rigged in favour of the APC being the rulling party, while others said he really won the election as results reflected the wish of teeming Nigerians. Other quarters of the country believed that H.E Peter Obi actually won the election. Although, the court is yet to decide who the true winner of the 2023 Presidential Election is as the case is still being deliberated at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).

H. E Bola Ahmed Tinubu has only been president for about 13 days, and we're beginning to see imperative and bold moves previous presidents could not make. From the subside removal to timely invention on matters of public interest. For the first time since I started following national politics, the president would have meetings with heads of government and agencies openly for the public to see and hear their deliberations and decision afterwards. With President Tinubu, no behind closed doors with Governors and others. Everything is made public for all to see.

According to a report released by StatiSense, Nigeria gained about +5.22% at the Nigeria Stock Exchange Market, the highest for a new president since 1999. With this momentum and positives, I think Nigerians should expect the best from his administration. Although, these are early days, but let's be optimistic and remain hopeful for a better and prosperous Nigerian for us all.

You are a true Nigerian.

God bless you for your maturity and honest approach to national issues.

Not surprised at all.

They’re definitely many instances of this occurring in the East. The judge will throw out this Obi case if it is proved that rigging occurred in the East, because “he who comes to Equity must come with clean hands”.

CloudWalker:
Not sure if this is the right place to post this though.
Everything you want in life comes from other people. Loving relationships, a stable job, money, vacations, cars, clothes, happiness...you better make sure people like you or you won't get any of it. Lots of people say that it doesn't matter what other people think of you...they're wrong. That's the only thing that matters.

You want a loving relationship? You need to impress a girl/boy and make sure they are interested in you. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself, the only thing that matters is who they see you as. You want a job? Better make sure the interviewer likes you. You want to start a business? Better make sure that the customers like you. What you think doesn't matter in the slightest. You can rage and cry and strive as hard as you'd like, but everything you need in life comes from other people. You can desperately try to prove that you are worth your existence, but if other people don't see it that way, then you are truly worthless.

Every single hope and dream you desire is made possible by others. Want to travel the world? Someone had to build the planes and hotels. Want to own a cool car? Someone had to design and build it. Want a wife and kids? You need a willing partner. Nothing you want in life comes from within. Your happiness even comes from other people...lock yourself alone in a room for a month and tell me that you don't need other people (who create the food you will eat and the video games/Internet you will occupy yourself with). Humans don't do so hot in solitary confinement, you need people, and you need them to like you or your life is worthless.

Other people's perception of you is your reality. Those people who everyone thinks less of get less, and eventually get nothing.

You are wrong.

This is the sort of worldview that makes one easy prey for manipulators and narcissists.

These manipulators can be anyone, including your own parents. Once they sense that you’re a ‘people pleaser’, who cares deeply about how others see you, they will take advantage of you, and engage in various forms of emotional manipulation of you, for their own ends.

You must retain emotional independence even if you need to be nice to your interviewer to get a job. Or to your customer for him to buy again.

Beyond that, you don’t need to impress anyone else. Be yourself.

How about them impressing you?

fabolouz1:
Africa is the next big and other continents are aware except Africans .

Oh, Africans are aware.

It is NIGERIANS who are not aware.

They are still in the “white man is my lord and saviour angel” universe of mental slavery.

The rest of Africa is moving on.

You need to go on YouTube and see how African leaders like Kagame, Museveni and others, lambast these western journalists and leaders in various interviews now.

Basically telling them to go to hell.

This is now a multipolar world with China, Russia, India, Brazil etc major players, and African nations are forming alliances, including military alliances, with them

So western hegemony is gone.

saintjimos:
This people sef

Russia is attacking and they want to offer Africa help 😃😃

It helps them feel important while bombs are dropping on their heads.

ManWater:
These Saudi Oil men making our Nigeria Oil be like groundnut oil.

You lack a working brain.

You and the ignorant Nigerian youths who liked your stupid, dumb comment.

It’s LITERALLY as stupid as saying

“I have money and Mr X has money, so how come I am poor and he is rich?”

Answer- Because he has 100k and you have 20k. Plus that 20k you are sharing with your 5 siblings while he’s only got one sibling.

Stupid, low IQ Nigerian youths. A major reason you’re so disgruntled is because you don’t actually know anything. Just simpletons.

InvertedHammer:
Na. They keep the money in their country to go round. Who paid $100m stands to gain $1bn in long term.

But their Nigerian counterparts will wire such funds out to other countries for their development and give wheelbarrows to their supporters as economic empowerment.

Another dumb, mumu post. Mr Dummy, the Saudi elite are the most corrupt on Earth, with countless luxury mansions all over Europe and America. There is zero accountability by the leaders who are unelected. They use Saudi income as their personal piggy bank.

The only thing that saves them is that their oil and gas deposits and daily output are 4 times that of Nigeria’s, with a tiny population of 35 million people.

So they are able to look after their tiny population with the small change left over from their mass looting,

seyoops4u:
Okayy...

Tell us, how much did he spend ?

NO, YOU TELL US. AFTER ALL YOU ARE THE ONES SAYING IT IS A SCAM.

SO HOW MUCH WAS STOLEN?

YOU SHOULD KNOW.

ReacherSaidNoth:
You this proud and ignorant dunce, if you really practice science for a living then this country is completely finished.

Apes are simply tailless primates that include bonobos, orangutans, gorillas and human beings. So you Olodo, are under this category.

Read up on evolution and examine the mountain of fascinating evidence. Don't stink up this place with your stupidity, it can only excite other idiots like you.

STFU.

There is ZERO evidence of ‘evolution’.

It is pure myth. A theory put out by Darwin which has NEVER been proven.

Do you think you can come in here and intimidate people with that unproven theory? How dare you?

GeneralPula:
One of my best actor of all time! He’s a sincere man! I’m presently watching one of his latest movie - Fubre!

Nothing but the truth. There’s nothing like heaven & hell. It’s all a story written by some wise men of the Olden days..

Mary gave birth a virgin
Samson killed a lion
Jesus died & resurrected

All nah nothing but mere fallacy! It’s not possible for a female eggs to fertilize without sperm!

[b]If heaven and hell is real, how come it’s only centered on humans and not other living things? Is lion, tiger, snakes, elephant, tortoise also going to heaven or hell? If yes, what are the sins that a lion can commit to make him go to hell?

God is real all the time! This is the only thing that’s worth believing! Any other thing is man-made stories!

Mumu. All mouth no brain.

mmsen:
They cannot see that they are part and parcel of the problems of Africa. That is why I do not feel bad when so many of them clamor to be slaves in another man's land. Let them go and enjoy third class status elsewhere. Such people are of no use in the goal of nation building.

You can say that again.

I’m actually embarrassed for these Nigerians. Go on YouTube. Other Africans are waking up and no longer feeling inferior to the west. African presidents like Ruto, Kagame, Museveni, Nana Akuffo Addo and others are pushing self reliance and Pan Africanism.

Openly chastising western journalists in interviews.

The reverence is gone.

They realise we’re now in a multi polar world, with the rise of China, India, Brazil etc, with no need to play happy slave to westerners.

But in Nigeria, our resident mental slaves and dullards are still stuck in the colonial era, and are still treating these pink skinned people like gods.

Elevating them to high heavens.

Just disgusting. And yet they are supposed to be leaders of the continent.

Hussein035:
You need to be having sex with dogs so that you can have sense. Africans put too much values on anything the whites chose to do.

Something is morally wrong you want them to bring it, I pray your daughter start having sex at the age of 5

AND YOU KNOW THE FUNNY THING?

THESE NIGERIAN SLAVES LINING UP TO DEFEND SWEDEN WILL BE THE FIRST TO CONDEMN “THE BLACK MAN” IF AN AFRICAN COUNTRY LIKE D.R. CONGO, MALAWI OR UGANDA HAD INITIATED THIS ‘SEX COMPETITION’.

THEY WOULD HAVE MADE ALL SORTS OF NEGATIVE, RACIST, DEROGATORY ANTI-BLACK COMMENTS AGAINST THEIR OWN KIND.

BUT IT IS ‘WHITE’ SWEDEN DOING IT, SO THEY QUEUE UP LIKE SLAVES TO DEFEND THEM.

THEY’RE JUST DISGUSTING.

AND SO PREDICTABLE.

THEIR MINDS ARE DAMAGED BY PROGRAMMED COLONIAL MENTALITY, RACIAL INFERIORITY COMPLEX AND SELF HATE.

Favourchris:
Like I said, na still same people Tinubu go appoint… still same people who ran this country down the last 8yrs, they are all coming back with different portfolios… stupid people will expect anything different from them .

This was one reason I needed obi, to help us break the political lords, let’s have some fresh mind from home and abroad …

See them na .. former speaker now CS .. this former senator now SG … same people in different coat

Tell us the saints that YOU would have appointed please.

Many of you have this idea that there is this group of really honest, dedicated Nigerians somewhere whom - if only they were given a chance - would transform the nation overnight.

They don’t exist.

Stop dreaming.

Ironi:
Do you mean Ghana should colonize Nigeria ? I think they can fix Nigeria if they take over .

Oh sure. Because governing a country of 20 million people is just as easy as governing one of 220 million. Ode.

fuckuigbos:
Nigeria has been carrying the whole of Africa on her shoulder yet they appreciate, the most annoying part is those tiny countries like Ghana and Cameroun that should be colonised by Nigeria.

Especially Ghana.

These people have just been living off Nigerian wealth for all these decades, and have become so used to it. It’s incredible.
