PoliticsRe: Nigeria To Reclaim Position As Africa’s Third-largest Economy — IMF by Racoon(m): 5:47pm On Oct 25, 2025
Ttalk:
Number one position as largest economy is not a permanent seat. Others countries have been occupying the position before we occupied it for that brief year...
See logic of failure defenders? Have you ever strived to be "first among equals" or it is just the senselessness to defend mediocrity, cluelessness and incompetency. Never seen a band of incredibly irresponsible lots.

Either you like Tinubu or not God is going to use Tinubu to bless you and your family during his tenure
That line has casted a long time. When last did you heard you fellow zombified supporters making the "this government will favour me" or "be a blessing to me" narratives? Ebinpawa have been the lamentation. Failures defending failures @all cost.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria To Reclaim Position As Africa’s Third-largest Economy — IMF by Racoon(m): 5:40pm On Oct 25, 2025
Same IMF that goaded the disasters called Buhari and Tinubu to bastardize an economy that was pacing as the fastest growing in 2015 is projecting same to be third after 10 years. No be juju be that?

PoliticsRe: Nigerian Presidents & Value Of Naira To $1 by Racoon(m): 12:44pm On Oct 25, 2025
TUANKU:
The SW media painted Abacha as everything evil...yet the man managed to keep things stable compared to OBJ and the fraud we have there now.
"I am not trying to compare two evils, but one has to state the obvious. It is really stunning, how the same set of people that went dancing & clubbing when Abacha died, are now chastising those who have not joined them in their hypocritical attempt to whitewash Buhari's tenure.

They are trying to stifle any attempt to point out the ills of the administration of late Buhari. Just because Buhari in his divisive style, favoured them in one way or others while he was in power. They now want the whole country to eulogise him as the best thing since fra de nunu.

This sort of double standards in terms of how different nationalities assess national issues in this country, is starting to terrify. It is also the main reason why it's becoming increasingly difficult to form a common nationalistic platform that can unite all Nigerians. Abacha was no saint, but you can ever compare his administration to that of Buhari in terms of productivity and humane policies.

Where Buhari was indecisive, Abacha was ruthlessly effective. Where Buhari was tone deaf & aloof, Abacha was pragmatic & people oriented. Abacha even created the Petroleum Trust Fund, through which Buhari came into limelight amongst younger Nigerians.

Abacha was able to create the PTF because he listened to his well groomed advisers on the need to improve services and living standards across board.. On the contrary, it took Buhari over 6 months just to form his government!

Life in Nigeria was far better under Abacha. The country was more secured. There was no Boko Haram, no fulani herdsmen, no IPOB activities and ofcourse no Igboho and is funny separatists activities. The exchange rate for the naira was firm, no inflation, food prices were very low and stable, no "japa" epidemic, universities tuitions were at all time low, PTF was building hospitals, roads, providing teaching materials. Sports achievements were costant.., Nigeria won her first Olympic football gold medal, the African nations Cup and her best football World Cup outing.., all under Abacha..

None of these happened under a bemused Buhari, But the NADECO platoon somehow managed to use the press domiciled in Lagos to paint Abacha as the bad guy. That was how a man like Buhari, who had no serious administrative achievements, could today be seen as being a better president than an Abacha. They painted Abacha bad because of the fall-outs from the June 12 crises. Just because of that, his whole achievements while in office were ridiculed and dismissed. He is today defined as the ultimate tyrant and dictator..

But as we speak, Buharis prisoners and captives are still in jail. Even after his demise. The trail of his violence from Aba to the Lekki tollgate is as long as the cases of corruption under his government. The victims of his maladministration are everywhere. The hardships that heralded his emergence as the countrys president in 2015, are getting worse even after he left office. The country is far more fragmented today compared to the 90s. Living standards have plummeted, the national currency has tanked, security is now a scarce commodity while corruption is rife!

So I ask again; why do they want us to denigrate Abacha while they deify Buhari who was far worse than Abacha? So "bad" is no more "bad"

There must be a caveat? irrespective of how bad an administration is to all Nigerians, some sections of the country will still long for and support such administration, simply because of sectional interests? What right has anyone in the present administration got to denigrate Abacha, if all they do is to eulogise the administration of Buhari who was obviously worse than Abacha in the management of Nigeria's economy?

Not after Nyesom Wike openly confesses to shredding the PDP while in the APC. The PDP is to be blamed for not wielding the big stick early when this man and his G-5 were engaging in anti-party activities though Atiku Abubakar insistence on contesting was not acceptable. Now he has become irredeemable hence bullies the party @ will. So what does Wike wants?

.. This shirt term borrowing keeps the economy rolling
And Nigeria debt profile is still on the rise? Of what benefits are the ones borrowed under the Tinubu's government been to the economy of this nation apart from the looting? Even all the projects being borrowed for are not of much economic benefits yet.

Where are the fuel subsidy savings? What of all the spurious revenue generations by the MDAs? Nigeria's is not among the best performing economics despite the rebasing. The purchasing value of the naira is worthless. The masses are still grueling from the weight of the crumbling economy.

Petitions against Tunji-Ojo, including
-1). Claims that he absconded during his mandatory NYSC service year but still presented a discharge certificate during his ministerial screening.

-2). The minister was also linked to the ₦438.1 million consultancy contract scandal that led to the suspension and eventual removal of Dr. Betta Edu, former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
PoliticsRe: Gani To Tinubu: Prove You Are Not Shielding S'West Ministers In Corruption Cases by Racoon(m): 11:33am On Oct 24, 2025
This is what happens when a man of questionable identity leads a country, deception becomes the standard of governance. Tinubu’s personal history of alleged forgery and perjury has effectively institutionalized falsehood in public service.

It is, therefore not surprising that his ministers and aides have taken after his example by falsifying documents, inflating records, and desecrating the moral foundation of our nation.

“The care of human life and happiness is the only legitimate object of good government." ( Jeffersonian Credo ).

“No nation ever grew more prosperous by taxing its citizens beyond their capacity to pay.” - former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
Of course financial indiscipline and clueless ineffective leadership are worst combo that can never take a country through a good economic tragectory.

Meanwhile, the same IMF goaded the same failed govt with its many neck-constricting unfeasible economic policies. Imagine telling govt to remove subsidy on electricity fuel and increase taxation. God save Nigeria from the jackals feeding on it's dying carcass.

Addressing the lack of high-profile convictions, a key stain on the commission's record, Tahir claimed that "crime is crime," and that prosecuting powerful figures like governors is "not a tea party."
Are the governors above the law like the common man or immunity protected after their tenures? Why it is difficult to get them prosecuted when even past and seating presidents are facing the law & being jailed in saner climes?

Meanwhile, these corrupt governors defections are being well celebrated by the ruling party and government. How will they not find a safe haven or nest there? How does the supposed independent anti-graft agency under the ruling party cum govt attain convictions? Dey play!
