Tibunu has kept on borrowing with little or nothing to show for it...

They should be a cap limit on the amount to borrow. But we have a rubber stamp senate led by the Akpa that would do anything to please his master.


State governments should also be blamed and held accountable because they are just hiding behind tibunu/fg while being unaccountable and wasteful!

I am very sorry for you Nigerians that you still think in this manner.

That you still blame your govt for not doing things a certain way because you're still under the delusion that they are there for your good

Poor Nigerians, I hope you all get well soon.

Una go dey repeat the same things everyday like broken records.

You already know nigerian govt is not meant to work for your good, yet you will be complaining about they not working for your good.

Yall should be working on how to organise and fight the system for your emancipation, you have oppressors and neo-colonizers, not a govt.

emmaodet:
I think the past experience of their mothers, grandmothers is what is making them to be more ruthless in their choices else, they will fall into the same pit.
Let's be frank, so many men out there are nothing to write home about.
They are very very irresponsible who just want to bang, no support for the woman's kids or pregnancy or upkeep.
Do you expect such men to procreate? And cause more wahala for us?

Most women can tell a man who is irresponsible. Their ruthlessness has nothing to do with men's irresponsibility, has more to do with women now prioritising survival as the love/romance/marriage concept has provent to be a hoax, therefore outdated.

Everybody now knows everything is inevitably transactional.

Real men knew this for the longest time though, na mumu boys dey allow women use them

EponObi:
You guys are never real.

Atiku, Obi, Tinubu, Kwankwaso, Amaechi, Jonathan, Yaradua all held elective positions before becoming viable for the presidency.

People like Makinde were extremely successful in the business world before becoming governor.

Buhari, OBJ were former military head of states.

Sowore has no credentials in the political and business world for people to measure his ability.

You can distort reality all you want sha.

Your last statement gives more validation to why people like Sowore can't become president in this country. If those who have served before and were business titans failed, what are the chances of someone without CV?

When people were clamouring for Akinwumi Adesina to run, it was because of his exploits as an economist, former minister of Agriculture and as president of Africa Development Bank. Same with people like Okonjo Nweala. We've seen her exploits as minister of finance and as director-general of WTO.

It is only in Africa that y'all create unnecessary bottleneck for yourselves to impede development.

I can flip your last statement in my favour, in the sense that governing nigeria especially at the presidential level is not rocket science.

We have seen it vividly that leadership failures that we've experienced across different administrations is not due to lack of knowledge of what to do but rather, lack of political will to do the right thing. They intentionally ignore people-centric policies and you know it.

You mentioned cv and I laffed, which cv did you demand of obj or bugari or yar adua when they became president, especially the dullard buhari.

Until Nigerians are cerebral enough to understand that choice of candidate should be based on campaign presentations and issue based debates by candidates rather than some bogus political cv that helps no one, then yall will never develop and the worst will keep ruling you.

kaludestiny10:
If she is Tinubu's loyal political daughter, then he will impose her on the masses. That is what is obtainable in Lagos.

Not only in lagos bro. There are senators who have served for 20yrs plus in the North and south south.


I don't know how these senators go back to their underdeveloped constituencies and convince them to re elect them 3 4 5 times.

Our electorates are too gullible

Cmanforall:
Let him start as his Local government chairman

Nigeria is too big for him to use it to experiment.

Anyways, he’s cashing out with donations

This statement is crap.

You're likely to be a tinubu supporter so let me use him as an example.

If past political office holding affects performance in presidency, why is tinubu not a popular for outstanding performance after nearly completing on tenure.

I hope innocent Nigerians are not gullible enough to take average minds like you seriously.

EponObi:
What was Obi doing at that time?

I heard he was wining and dining with Abacha. FFO, For Food Only!

The only mistake Sowore did was not going for elective position at lower levels decades ago. He would have scaled up to be viable for the presidency? I salute his struggles for democracy, but no way Nigerians will vote for him as president. He should have started as a lawmaker.

What kind of mentality is this.

So a man can be right for the job, but because he has not held lower offices, then he cannot be voted for.

Which public office did trump occupy before becoming president?


Was obasanjo a lg chair or a governor before becoming president?

Conversely, those who by your argument have held lower political offices before becoming president, how did they move the country forward?

mauchiz:
Why?
Nigeria government can't fight this people,it is only the Arab world , Israel, America that can fight them.

Let me make it clear here, Nigeria government can't fight terrorist,
Nigerians needs to understand that federal government can't fight these people, they don't have the training and equipment.
Is USA, Israel,Arab countries that fights terrorist.

I disa greetings,

Assuming without conceding that nigeria govt cannot fight them, why does nigeria govt also discourage self defence.

Did the supreme court of nigeria not recently send a certain Jackson, a farmer to death by hanging for defending himself on his own farmland against a violent trsspass (apparently a terrorist)

In a country where citizens die like flies on daily basis, legisltions should have been made allowing citizens to carry firearm for self defence but no, they will only come out to condemn an wait for the next killing.

It is more sensible to assume that govt of Nigeria willingly permits the killings of nigerians for reasons best known to them than to assume they cannot fight the terrorists. (Terrorists wey no dey use jets or drones o)

lamentor78:
Do you want to kill the president, is that state not having a sitting governor while can't they set up a security outfit in the state

Una go open mouth like apere.

Does the governor command the armed forces.

Does he have constitutional powers to control all valuable resources within his state so that he has financial means to drive security (because security outfits require lots of funding).

Last time i checked, all valuable resources within nigeria are under the armbit of Fg. Same as command of all the forces.

So what is your point.

They do yall like this because they know youre too blind to see the real issues.

God1000:
Mr president, please act fast before it's too late


This is a crime against humanity

Shut the fvk up and stop beating a dead horse.

A president that you know doesn't care, yall keep repeatimg the nonsense instead of thinking what else can be done since the president wont do anything.

samomoli:
It's a shame to her, well maybe after selling everything to japa. He no go better for African leaders and their generations. Imagine if we use all the resources God blessed us with to develop our country, all these whites forming God would not try such[b]. I would have say that the tide would soon turn around but the way it is, Africa is destined for doooooom[/b]. Especially giant of Africa on paper that is learning from smaller countries in Africa

Painfully true.

Not because it is theoretically impossible, but because our fellow black men are unimaginably myopic

davidotokiblog1:
But it’s not always that simple. ‘Cheap’ apartments often come with serious issues poor water supply, bad infrastructure, or unsafe environments. That’s exactly why people complain, not just about price but about the standard of living.

Telling people to just move back to their parents doesn’t address the real issue. The discussion is about fair pricing and decent living conditions, not avoiding responsibility. Everyone deserves a reasonable place to live for what they pay.

You say these things because you obviously don't know the meaning of Nigeria.

Nigerians have this habit of isolating an issue as if other areas of countries life are okay.

The disparity you see between house rents and affordable flows from a foundational problem with Nigeria as a country.

From ridiculous minimum wage, to lack of Enforcement of the minimum wage (even though it's ridiculous), to general govt ineptitude as govt has failed in all its responsibilities to citizens.

Bro, Nigerian govt literally does nothing for its citizens. It may actually be the worse govt in the world.

The direction I'm going is that all of these factors create serious deficit in all sectors.

There is housing deficit because of widespread poverty due to poor wage system, so rent must go up

There is serious insecurity in the land, Nigerian is virtually in an unofficial civic war that nobody wants to acknowledge, with the incessant farmer herder clash food will be expensive in comparison to minimum wage.

The govt has refused to provide stable electricity (and I'm deliberate with the use of the word refused) meaning we are highly dependent on importation, which will driver up cost of goods, including building materials.

I can go on an on on this analysis but my point is Nigeria is a country that has suffered general systemic failure and if you want to be frank, you cannot expect anything to go well in Nigerian.

You cannot expect reasonably priced rent in a country that has decent housing for only about 30% of its population.

A country where N36M was the amount released to the health sector in a whole annual budget.

My point then is, we should be protesting a general shift in govenance, not surface issues like high rent. It's like taking pain killers without diagnosing the real underlying problem.

helinues:


His opinion which he's entitled to

I am just wondering how many are Macaroni's team members that he couldn't run a successful comic business. Is it not the same guy who ran into several debts not quite long

Those who are horrible as ordinary class rep want to be shading the presidency

Wonders don shellac indeed

So now after using your brain to digest what macaroni said, you didn't find any sense in it.

So it's okay that the president no longer pays attention to mass Killing of the people he swore an oath to protect.

You are a very shameless human being.

I wonder if they always put a gun to your head to write these things.

You even when as far as attacking the guy's personal life, totally digressing from the main issue.

I sincerely hope you will find something more Honourable to do with your life.

This ur hustle of paid sycophancy is eating up all your self esteem. That's if you have any.

SixSeven:
Is there anything stopping young people from participating in politics? Another propaganda up their sleeves. Didn't the APC Youth Coalition guy call something Jagaban Army last election? Oh, since it's APC, they are thinking youth but when the same youth are supporting other parties, they are online youth and wasting their lives away? See this hypocrisy eh, you guys sound so intelligent with it, it's just that yours is spelled backward. There is freedom of association in Nigeria and anyone can join any party they wish to. The problem is that some of you don't believe in that, you are always bothered when they choose to support the party of their choice and whoever they wish to support. You want to teach them politics and make them cry. What a party of concern

You sound funny.

In a country literally gasping for breath like nigeria, politics is a game of life and death.

The lives and destinies of millions are impacted by election outcomes.

If someone chooses to vote for an enemy of the people for some dump reason, that person is an enemy himself and can be berated for his choice.

You cannot be against my political wellbeing and expect me to be smiling oth you.

No one can stop anyone from supporting their candidate of choice, but actions have consequences.

Obiedun:
You people will cry taya. You better look for something else to do instead of complaining. Your mates are there making money in a legit way. Your education is to profer solutions not to sit on nairaland complaining. Wise up.
Many of you are not employable because of the type of education you received. Some cannot even think of what bto do with their education. You go cry taya

Chief slave, that's what they paid you to come on here to do. To gaslight people abi.

If anyone is unemployable because of bad education, who is the cause of it if not your paymasters.

And before you say your usual rebuttal, govt is a continuum and this present administration must own all the failures of past administrations.

Write your funny comments discouraging people from complaining all you like, but they must complain and soon, very soon these complaints will turn into a movement of the people.

It will be unstoppable. It will be a purge. The land will be cleansed.

One day.

Tell your masters.

VOsimhen144:
Why do you think Tinupoo paused the Tax system he implemented?

He's patiently waiting for his second term in office so he can start the Tax system,

he know if he starts the tax system now the hardship will be demonic and would affect his re-election.

I can't wait to see Nigerians suffer so hard next year, I will NOT help anybody to survive next year.

Bro, has this administration really pause the implementation of the new tax law?

Because me I've been worried about how to file my tax returns ending of this month o

aswani:
I will go further, and bear in mind I have never voted or plan to vote for him, without campaigning, he will win at a canter.

There is no opposition in Nigeria currently, a very shameful state of affairs.

This is the nonsense they will have you myopic citizens regurgitate.

There's no opposition, so what's obi?

If not that your president s perfected his rigging mechanism, he knows he should be very worried about obi regardless of party uncertainties.

How many days did it take for obi to build the crazy momentum he did with lp in 2023.

Who says that is not achievable one more time

saintopus:
It's only death that can stop President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory ✌️

Are you stylishly wishing the president death, because he will not win his re election bid

jeff1993:
Hmnnnnnn if dem like let Dem Plan against Tinubu in there millions, BAba will still succeed. Tinubu is politics himself. He has read the game to the full stop.

OBI/Kwankwaso is just wasting their time.

Note: I'm not a fan of tiluuumbu

Liar!! you are a fan of tinubu. That's the only reason u see the need to shed these needless tears.

If they were really wasting their time, why did you notice the event and comment.

I laff when u say tinubu is politics. That's nonsense.

Tjnubu is nothing without electoral malpractice. That is his whole game

Richtaiwo:
Hype and theatrics like this can be amusing at best. The fact that people are genuinely getting carried away by it makes one wonder whether they are thinking well or simply reacting without sense.

What exactly is all the excitement about? That Obi visited Kwankwaso and Kwankwaso supporters turned out in large numbers on Sallah day, so what? Does that suddenly translate into victory for Obi?

I beg, i can't fit laff.

Why then are you using neck vein to discredit the occasion if it is not significant

aswani:
Kẹmi has been caught lying about her time in Nigeria more than once. I also don't call having a lack of principles or being hypocritical, brilliance. Trump is president of the United States twice, is he brilliant too?

Interesting that Doctors from Universities in Nigeria don't have to redo their medical degrees to practise over there.

And to your point, those with a good degree and enough practical experience can indeed apply for and get jobs there without having to redo their degree.

Why would any country allow you to turn up just with a Nigerian degree and immediately give you a job when they have people with degrees from their own country that know more about their system on whatever field it is?

And you really need to improve your grammar, is that what you wanted to get a job in the UK with? No wonder you had to redo your degree.

Let me tell you the practical meaning of brilliance, and this is ironic, Mr grammar.

An individual can be said to be brilliant if they are a great achiever in their field of endeavor and have great oratory skills to project the workings of their own mind to the astonishment of others.

In other words, great mind plus great personality equals brilliance.

So to answer your question, trump is brilliant, so is kemi.

You don't find yourself in such positions by being a dullard.

And to help you further, brilliant people can have vices, they're not flawless people. They can be evil, hypocritical whatever.

And u speak of my grammar again, I'm certain I speak better English than you wey dey shout grammar. I no get your time on that note.

Finally, I know people who brought their uk certificates to get jobs in nigeria without prior nigerian experience or whatever. No nysc sef. And they probably get better pay. Your logic is flawed.

elitper:
I wonder what will be going on in the minds of those British guys. They know their Nigerian friends are the most inadequate set of guys to be put in charge of security. Budgeting trillion naira for security only to be whooped by ill-trained adolescents on bajaj. Oshi.

Let's get this thing clear for once.

The British guys see them more like boys hired for a dirty job and trust me, the boys are doing a well done job.

The failures of the nigerian system is the intended design of the British empire.

So it's more of come here boys, you done well.

The criminals terrorizing nigeria are not nonentities, they have the direct backing of either govt of Nigeria or that of a world power.

Let's see these issues for what they truly are, so that we can make progress

aswani:
Reading your post and how poor your grammar is, I am not surprised your own degree was not recognised.

My Uniben degree was fully recognised and after an interview process, I did a post graduate degree in that same Europe without having to start over.

Also, Kẹmi is not a brilliant mind, she is an unprincipled opportunist who will say anything just to win votes.

Degree recognition for job opportunity purposes, that's what i meant.

Not for further studies. Of course they will let you further ur studies on a nigerian degree. No be money u wan spend?

But go to the uk and get a white collar job with only ur uniben degree make I dey look you. Funny guy.

Lol, want to pick on grammar now, like I give a shit what you think. This is social media, typos other errors are permissible, not like I'm writing ielts. Stay on the issue.

Kemi is the leader of opposition in the uk but in your books, that's not brilliance. So na u dey brilliant abi.

Again, she has never lied about Nigeria. Everything she ever said is true.

SeeWahala:
Stop doing this to yourself bro

Quit or reduce trying to enlighten people who chew both the corn 🌽 and the cub too

Even trying to understand their ignorance takes huge effort 😏

You're right to say this bro.

But the reason I feel a sense of duty to dismiss their flawed narratives at all times is that if we let them go unimpeached, there's risk of other passive citizens believing and running with the flawed narrative.

The resultant effect being that ignorance will take root and poor government will become the norm.

richiemcgold:
She is anti Nigeria. Why must she be granted honour she doesn't deserve?

Prominent Nigerians like Anthony Joshua and Bukayo Saka were mentioned during the dinner at Windsor, but nobody gave a damn about her. Kemi is just like the proverbial river that forgets its source, one day it will surely dry up.

Pele mr pro Nigeria.

Nigeria is not her source, the earth is. She is a brilliant mind and wherever she finds herself (as in the uk), she will do exploits.

The saka and Joshua you speak of, they got all the support and nurture from outside Nigeria, they identifying with nigerian out of their own benevolence. Nigeria is a shit hole country.

Nobody true achiever needs recognition or honor from Nigeria of all countries.

Speaking of honor, Nigeria is so shit hole that if you carry a Nigerian BSc or MSc go Europe, they will barely recognize it. You have to do their own degree over again.

Na that one be country?

Malagans:
How is Tinubu a small fish before Kemi?

Some of you are really funny. Who is Kemi before a president of the most populous black nation on earth?

Smh, a president is only as influential as his country. Tinubu may have level as a local champion in Africa, but in the eye of the rest of the world, na boy.

You preside over arguably the poorest country in the world, that one na better president?

Nigeria is also the highest cluster of poor and wretched most people in the world.

If you've ever seen documentaries of Nigerians putting everything on the line, crossing Libya and the ocean just to escape from the evil Nigeria, you will know that Nigeria is no country to be proud of.

Ezmans:
Nigeria a nation that sees red and called it blue because of politics

It's because of stupidity actually

Malagans:
God bless Tinubu for snobbing her.
Is there any sane president who would have associated with such Character.?
A woman who continues to denigrate her own country

Has she ever told a lie about Nigeria? Una e, na una dey spoil this country. Something wey bad, una no wan make them talk am.

Who do una like this

Sheuns:
You can call it a snub if Madam Kemi wanted to meet him.

A woman that has continuously called Nigerian politicians useless won’t want to be associated with them.

She no send am.

Abi, no mind them

Stephen0mozzy:
This action is probably one of the best thing City Boy did in the UK. As the unfortunate immigrant has decided to never aee anything good about Nigeria, then she doesn't deserve the honor of Nigerians as embodied in City Boy in UK.

Don't call her unfortunate, it is you who is unfortunate.

No well to do nigerian of kemi's caliber needs recognition from a useless president.

ZombieTERROR:
Always comparing rubbish

Let's compare terrorism index , poverty rate or minimum wage
let's even compare stability of power with Ghana

Propaganda doesn't run a government
Sharing billions to religious and societal influencers to rig elections is not how to build a country..

someone tell Tinubu that his name is at stake, his generation, his legacy..

people will spit when his name is mentioned in the future, he's failing and failing fast

Tinubu get to work

Why do yall fool yourselves about this name and legacy shit.

Does tinubu or any of the politicians ruling you look like they care about name or legacy.

Whether they're ruining their legacy or not, is that enough reason the masses should fold their arms and watch on in suffering?

This is nigeria where people worship money. No matter how badly behaved a rich man is, he will still be worshiped by the suffering masses.

So make una no dey talk this name or legacy thing, na distraction from real issues
