Personal attacks on the President will not work. Tell us what you will do. For the last 3 yrs you’ve being gallivanting & talking all over the place. Still you’ve not mentioned your economic policy or what you’ll do differently

Creating content and talking points is just to make your online audience happy. Nothing more

Agreed. He hasn’t told us what he would do differently, like how he would raise revenue, solve insecurity, achieve growth, etc.

Obi is not smart. Most Nigerians already have their opinion of Tinubu, so calling him names doesn’t offer you any advantages. Just bring out your policies.

There are life changing projects across the country Tinubu has started, that I would like him to finish.

Major roads getting upgraded, refurbished seaports and airports, more metro rails in Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Abuja upgrades, REA’s university electrification and Nelfunds, 90,000 broadband cable rollout, etc.

It’s scary to even imagine a change of presidency in 2027 that might reverse or even stop these projects.

Instead of Obi telling us how he would strengthen these projects, he is name calling.

The incoming administration under Hamzat has a historic opportunity to solve Lagos’s waste crisis once and for all. By shifting from a model of waste containment to total waste resource recovery, Lagos can become a cleaner, healthier, and flood-resilient megacity.
Here is the two-pronged strategy to achieve this:
1. Establish Mega Recycling and Waste-to-Energy Plants
Lagos must phase out traditional landfills entirely, transitioning to a Zero-Landfill Policy.
Strategic Location: Build state-of-the-art recycling plants on the outskirts of Lagos or in partnership with adjoining states (e.g., Ogun) where land is more accessible.
Comprehensive Processing: These facilities should be equipped to sort and process all categories of waste, both organic and inorganic.
Waste-to-Energy (WtE): Any truly non-recyclable materials should be diverted to modern, eco-friendly incinerators. These incinerators will serve a dual purpose by generating electricity to feed back into the local grid.
2. Implement a Statewide, Source-Separated Recycling Program
To feed these plants efficiently, waste management must be reformed at the household level.
Phased Pilot Program: Launch curbside recycling trials in a select few Local Government Areas (LGAs) to test logistics, public compliance, and collection frequency.
Feedback-Driven Scale-Up: Use the data and insights gathered from the pilot phase to optimize the system before rolling it out statewide.
Public Incentivization: Introduce community awareness campaigns and incentives to encourage citizens to separate their waste at home.

Fine citizens who refuse to separate their waste properly.

Finally, trucks designated for waste pick ups should be paid by the states.


With all the big infrastructure in Lagos, poor waste management overshadows it!!

Of what use are buildings and structures when road medians are used as dump sites?

I have stated how Lagos could go about it, not implementing it is pure negligence

You can’t criticise this scheme if you want electricity access for everyone.

To close the metering gap, you need a large pool of qualified meter installers to speed up installations across the country.

Once they complete their training, they can simply receive text messages or app notifications from the DISCOs assigning them installation jobs in their area.

On completion of the programme, they could also be offered electric vans through a zero-interest financing scheme, branded with their company name and logo. The vans would enable them to travel to installation sites efficiently while safely transporting and storing their tools and equipment.

The result? More jobs for young people, a faster rollout of electricity meters, and a pathway for many to progress into more advanced skilled trades such as electrical installation and other technical professions.

These are the kind of schemes that will attract grants from foreign partners.

It’s visible, it provides jobs and it’s measurable.

FG should partner with EU, make the figures 50,000 and mass meter the country within a year.

These SOuth Africans, you really have to feel sorry for their stupidity.

I have never liked that country for anything. The whites there are highly condescending of the blacks, and the blacks there are fantastically ignorant!!!

Their president foolishly went to the White House, knowing fully well he would get humiliated, and proceeded to go get humiliated!!

Stupid culture of women dancing topless, kings playing the fool in the name of multiple wedding of “virgin” women”, etc.

Now, you getting all xenophobic towards your fellow Africans that actively unshackled you from the bondage of oppression.

The gov there is too inept to step in and stop rouge citizens from taking laws into their hands.

Their ex president, whose daughter is leading this abhorrent protest, once said he took a shower after having unprotected sex with someone….



The whole place reeks of ewww!!

I love Canada and the Canadians. Kind, progressive and hospitable.

I really hope they win!

LordLicifer:
All he had to do was to leave her alone when she said " i am not here for that" and pushed him away.


The UK women are very vicious and sentimental. They are ussually very easy to have sex with if you understand how their minds works. Never ever touch or try to have sex with a drunk UK white woman even if she agrees to have sex with you. I pity this guy he didn't even have sex with this spiteful woman.


Most of these nigerian men newcomers to the UK are very naive on how UK women behaves. Now he ruined his whole life just for a bit of touching. Touching that we do in work with our Female work colleagues and no problem.

Colleagues where? UK or Nigeria? Lol

As a matter of urgency, I would like President Tinubu to prioritise state police before the year ends. States should start putting structures in place, so full implementation can start in earnest. This madness is getting out of hand!

Anytime there is a southern leader, the north throws this playbook at them. It started during Obasanjo era with Sharia and ethnic killings in the north, was amped up during Jonathan, now they have started again. Obi will not fare better!

It’s their modus operandi, to rule and mismanage by hook or by crook. They want power, they tell their boys to commit terrorist acts to make the government look weak.

When Kemi Badenoch said she isn’t Nigerian but a proud Yoruba woman, we laughed at her right, all because she said she shares no ties with a region that harbours terrorist, kill the innocent and propagate misery and carnage!

There are thousands of white men in England that abuse children, etc. Why can’t he call for their death sentence?

Kukutente23:
“The Supreme Court said the Federal Government should hand over the local airport to him, and that the Federal Government should pay him N132bn plus interest from 2009.

“ I told him: nobody is going to pay you that. He wrote it off. Babalakin wrote off the N132bn outright,” Keyamo said.

The same APC that was preaching obeying all court orders just yesterday is today telling someone that they will not obey a judgement of the supreme court

And zombies are hailing them

lol. He said it as part of their agreement. He isn’t insinuating that courts ought to be disobeyed.

The overall thing was that there was an agreement. Use ur head.

Also, it shows a minister actively riding the wheels of progress. He fixes, and uses free market logic to implement changes.


He just settled an ongoing dispute, thereby unlocking revenue for the government. We will also have a functioning 5 star hotel and a conference centre that could host visitors, provide jobs, etc.

Good governance is here, some of us just haven’t realised it yet.

This is huge. Big kudos to Ojulari for completing this project. It basically means that there will be more gas usage for electricity.

Power plants can now raise their capacities due to gas availability.

Another promise made, promise kept. Next is the completion of the AKK gas line.

Subsidies should be phased out so that consumers pay cost-reflective tariffs. However, this must be done responsibly and in the right sequence.

Before removing subsidies:
1. Clear existing sector debts to stabilise the system and restore investor confidence.
2. Where necessary, raise financing and invest in a robust “super grid” capable of evacuating at least 25,000 MW of power.
3. Once this transmission capacity is in place, proceed with privatisation of the national grid. This can be structured into regional super grids to improve efficiency and ensure that disruptions in one area do not cascade nationwide.
4. Accelerate mass metering. After achieving substantial coverage, enact legislation that criminalises the sale of unmetered electricity. Distribution companies (DisCos) should not bill customers without meters, and any electricity supplied without proper metering should not be chargeable.

The administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu should recognise that while subsidy removal is a necessary reform, it must be matched with tangible improvements in power supply. Reliable electricity would significantly ease the cost of living by enabling alternatives such as electric cooking (reducing reliance on volatile gas prices) and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and public transport.

Beyond this, a functional power sector would stimulate economic growth. Increased electricity reliability boosts productivity, expands industrial activity, and ultimately raises GDP—creating a broader tax base. In a truly competitive, market-driven environment, generation companies (GenCos), distribution companies (DisCos), and transmission operators would become major contributors to government revenue, similar to how leading telecom firms like MTN Group and Airtel Africa contribute today.

This is not wasted expenditure—it is a strategic investment that can deliver significant fiscal returns within a few years.

President Tinubu should treat power sector reform as an urgent priority. Done right, it has the potential to be a major economic engine—benefiting both government finances and the everyday lives of citizens.

reddingtonblack:
you think terrorist will survive a military, check all the insurgence we had in Nigeria it was under democracy that said

Nigerians should wisen and not fall for any cheap propaganda, Tinubu govt is like WAle Adenuga productions, if we are not careful lets not be pencil in the hands of Tinubu, script ti poju

The reason we having terrorists under democratic gov is because power dynamics isn’t as lopsided as it used to be under military.

Use your brain, young man.

This Disu man doesn’t joke. I’m confident we’ll begin to see results.

The only thing I would add is that our police must be constantly trained. Threats evolve, and training should evolve with them. None of us would use a phone or computer running software that was last updated in 1990 — yet for many officers, their last major training was when they left the police academy years ago.

There is no reason our police tactical units cannot reach the level of elite teams like US SWAT or Delta Force. If officers are well paid, rigorously trained, and properly motivated, they will be capable of confronting and dismantling terrorist groups effectively.

These units should include specialized capabilities — trained snipers for overwatch positions, aerial support units, and agile teams capable of carrying out precise day or night operations. With the right investment in training, equipment, and leadership, our forces can become just as effective in protecting the public and responding to threats.

NYSC orientation should become a paramilitary training for graduates. They should be taught how to handle and operate different kinds of weapons, military manoeuvres, performing CPRs, rendering first aids, swimming, patriotism and civic duties, how to deal with active terroristic campaigns, etc.

After 6 weeks of training in the camp, male and female graduates should know how to operate a gun, what to do when there is a suspicious package, etc.

If ever they need to defend themselves either in Nigeria or outside, they will deploy the learnt tactics.

Kids, stay away from idiots. They like to self destroy and you might be collateral damage!!

After listening to his speech, what stuck a cord with me is him saying training has to be continuous. Once the Nigerian Police embarks on lifelong training of their personnel, we will begin to see huge effects.

The new motto should be: if police officers are not on shift, on leave or retired, they should constantly be on training.

Why do Nigeria want to go to the world cup through back-door.

Front door, back door, A door is a door.

Also, rules are there to make the game much fairer. If Congo can’t abide by the rules, then it’s their problem.

bigpicture001:
China can never do this for u.. not on this planet...

All they know is how much u will pay?
Nonsense bug for nothing nation and always stingy , selfish and greedy ..

A ppl who hates coruption in their homeland but encouraging their nationals to be corupt abroad just to bring in the money

You really do not want China getting involved militarily. China actually has more incentive to get involved and go after the islamists because they disrupt their progress, be it rail/road construction, etc. China’s policy to look the other way and focus on business is a decent alternative.

I hope UK, EU, United Arab Emirates and even China join USA and declare these killers as terrorists.

This would mean asset freezes, sanctions, visa bans, interpol arrests should they go out for any kinds of treatment, visits.

Innocent lives cut short because of what?

manuelkel:
Good one if Kwankwaso is involved, although this might be political.
Tinubu might be coming for Kwankwaso in order to destabilize him because I'm %100 sure Tinubu can never win north by free and fair and the northerners would rather vote Kwankwaso than to vote Atiku.
It's all about politics.

No one is coming for anyone. If USA is mentioning certain names, it’s purely based on intelligence.

Also, ask yourself…. The reason terrorism is persisting and won’t go away is because there are political sponsors financing them, and government has been weak or inept in rooting them out. USA is now determined to put a final end to it, ensuring prayers of victims finally answered.

valentineuwakwe:
First thing is the four refeneries...

Presidential fleets......

National stadiums in Lagos and Abuja....

National theatre, iganmu

Possibly Aso Rock

Underutilised/abandoned power stations should be added to the list. Also, airports, seaports, pipelines. Anything government built but doesn’t have expertise to run should be sold.

He did that because he loves Uba like his son.

Nigeria should establish a national lottery operated by a trusted, privately run and fully accountable firm.
50% of proceeds would go to lottery winners, 25% would be ring-fenced for sports development (serving as counterpart funding), and the remaining 25% would be allocated to clearly defined public-interest causes like orphanages, widows and children of servicemen who died in duty, grassroots sport complex, education, etc.

skywalker240:
Remove the US,

Britain will protect their investment

Did you know Britain said there's no such thing as Christian persecution?

Is Nnamdi Kanu not a British citizen?

Do the Brits give a hoot about his ass?

This is politics and Nigeria as one is in their interest

Not really. Fossil fuel’s investment is dwindling due to clamour for greener alternatives. Nigeria isn’t an asset as it was back then. Oil was discovered in huge quantities in the late 50s, Nigeria wanted to break apart in the mid 60s, surely there was an asset to protect back then, right?

Now, no support for anyone. Look at Sudan, they making them fight it out.

skywalker240:
If it had succeeded, nothing would have happened

The Brits are paper super powers now, plus nobody will want his investment go like that

So Britain will definitely support the north

Britain and USA will support a terrorist, poverty-stricken region kidnapping and killing kids, wanting to go to school?? Core north just got bombed, how is that for support??

Even Muslim predominant countries allow girls’ education.

What the core north should remember is that if they plan a coup against Tinubu and it succeeds, you can as well say goodbye to a United Nigeria. It’s done!! It’s no longer 1966 anymore!! What particularly helped in 1966 was that the British government at the time were unwilling to allow a newly independent Nigeria to break into pieces, hence the support they gave Gowon. The support they gave Nigeria was the decisive factor.

Anyway, let’s allow democracy thrive, as its turn by turn. Buhari’s gov was not disrupted, even with glaring failures and ineptitude, so pls don’t truncate it now, or goodbye.

President Tinubu should sack Adelabu and replace him with Olu Arowolo or any competent person.

Adelabu should go focus on his already failing governorship ambition.

Some stupid humans and their fixation to keep the human race backwards!!

I can see why people are jostling to be his vice for 2027, just in case he doesn’t complete his tenure. 😉🤣. Although, anyone he chooses as vice will have a strong footing come 2031.
