if you don't like the man it's good you come out clean to say you just do not like the man for one reason or the other and I will understand because we are all humans.

The said protest against fuel subsidy was in 2012 and adeboye WAS NEVER PART OF THE PROTEST.
Adeboye never protested against Jonathan for any reason, if you have the evidence you can bring it, adeboye even gave Jonathan his platform to campaign for 2015 during that year's redeem holy ghost Congress.

The only thing that has semblance of protest from adeboye was during buhari when he led a prayer walk against insecurity as a result of the frequent herdsmen and terrorists attacks.
And that time the VP was a pastor in his church.

Adeboye has been solid in my opinion but if you have contrary opinion no qualms.
But I would love you show me evidence like link or picture of adeboye protesting against Jonathan.

. I don’t have anything against the clergyman but would have been happier if he had protested now like he did before against massacres going on in the country of Christians in benue, plateau et Not against fuel subsidy but insecurity he protested actually against Jonathan https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/kidnapping-rccg-petitions-jonathan-to-stage-one-million-man-protest/

He is trying to create distraction from Epstein files by riling up his base that hates Obama but American media do not even focus on this which they call a distraction . Awarding $200m immediately to musk after his Epstein revelation and now this childish distraction shows he is probably guilty

Why can’t Africans convert all these practices for advancement in science and technology for progress?

Ibadanfarmroad:
cool, what is adeboyes offence?
How has adeboye become a politician?
Please can you tell me sir?

He led protests against Jonathan for removal of subsidy to sell fuel at 82 naira in 2011 but today same scenario to actually sell fuel at almost a thousand naira but he has not complained for one day not to talk of leading protests but actually said it is a spiritual problem that needs prayers . The partisan nature of his behavior calls to question his commitment to the body of Christ and whether it is actually genuine?

Ibadanfarmroad:
would you say the same for father mbaka that said buhari was the savior Nigeria needed as revealed to him by God?

Bakare, Mbaka , Adeboye, hyacinth aliah and all these pastors that have become politicized are in the same boat . I see them more as politicians than pastors

Why omit a Yoruba person in investigation for corruption? While their supporters are saying no Yorubanization of Nigerian government. I only advocate for people to own up to their nepotism with full chest. If you decide to be nepotistic then be proud of it and not show cowardice

The man loves clowning, would be much better for him To drop his clergy cloak for agbada and join full politics, that way people will know where he stands

Amin…inahualahu suburuwa sawat fidau allah mulukinah

Ibechris2:
E just be like we get 2 president for this country

If there's an issue with academics, everyone tags Peter Obi

If there's security issues, everyone tags Obi

Political issues, he's used as the standard

Nobody calls on the "elected" president because that one useless normally.

It is an indirect admission they know Peter Obi is the only man as it stands today who can redeem Nigeria from the current disastrous condition buhari and tinubu threw the country into but political or tribal or religious hypocrisy would not allow them admit the truth

From tailoring? Lol dey play you never tell us your real business

grandstar:
Your response is lazy uneducated.

Jonathan met over $20bn in the Excess Crude Accounr. There was over $50bn in the foreign reserves. OBJ had reduced the external debt from $35bn to $5bn.

You did no research.

What yeye tribalism? Were the two economists who performed beautifully during OBJ's rule not Igbo speaking, Soludo and Okonjo Iweala? The same woman served under Jonathan but couldn't perform as much because GEJ was not as supportive. She urged him to save money with crude oil at $100/barrel, he did not support her.

Look at the trash you are typing that Jonathan that had dollar at less than 200 naira did not perform beautifully but Emilokan that ruined same to almost 2000 is doing well …tribalism don do una brain smack down . Please stop stop quoting me with this rubbish as my 7 year old child reasons better than this but I won’t blame you but shame on British racists and lord lugard that put all of us in same country

flokii:
If the posts are useless as you claim, why are your Igbo folks accepting them?.. you're even lucky that the man PBAT gave your region appointments despite your people's refusal to vote him at the polls..
Moreover, what matters most is competence.. so far competent people are appointed to man those sensitive posts like Finance, CBN, FIRS etc , no issues.

Accept tinubu nepotism with full chest like he mentioned and stop dancing around in ronu hypocrisy

grandstar:
And you forgot to add that Tinubu should bring down fire from heaven.

How will he bring exchange rate down to 200? When he took office, the CBN had only $3bn, and it was owing buyers $7bn. At $1 -440, the CBN could not supply enough dollars, if the price is reduced to N200 as you suggested and the demand is $20bn, where will you get the dollars from?


Whatever exchange rate you have, you must be able to defend it. Defend means that you have SUFFICIENT forex to supply at that exchang rate.
The ultimate determinant of an exchange rate is the market or market forces. Neither the government nor CBN is the ultimate decider.

Let me give an example. Imagine the price of oil is $100 per barrel, and the country is selling 1mbpd, that is $100m daily. That is $100m flowing in daily. Then oil prices drops to $50 per barrel. That means $50m is coming in daily. With the reduced inflow, will you pay more for dollars or less? You will have to pay more

As for oil subsidy, how will Tinubu reduce the price of petrol to N100/litre. A litre of crude oil is at least N500 per litre! The fuel s7bsidy isn't free. It is very costly.

Let me explain how the fuel subsidy works.

Let's say the country produces 20bn litres of crude oil yearly. Let's assume crude oil is N500 per litre.

To sell the petrol to you at N100, the government's sets aside 6bn litres of crude oil to sell at N80.

So, from 6bn litres of crude oil, the government will earn 6bn x N80 = 480bn.

The remain 14bn litres, it sells at N500 which is 7trillion. So total income from crude oil is 7tr + 480bn wh8ch is 7.48trillion

If the government had sold the entire 20bn at N500, it would have earned 10trillion.

Now, let's say the budget for that year is 9trillion. Because of the fuel subsidy the revenue is only 7.48tr. There will be a budget deficit of the 1.52tr. governmenr will have to borrow 1.52trillion. Without the fuel subsidy, there would have been a budget surplus of 10tr-9tr = 1tr

The fuel subsidy has been forcing the government to borrow heavily for years. The borrowing has become too much and it's killing the economy. The fuel subsidy was a major reason for borrowing under Buharis government.

In 2015, 26% of government revenue was used for servicing debt. By May 2023, it was 97% of gocernment revenue. Imagine receiving your salary of 500k and being left with 15k after you settle debt? Must anyone hear it?

Jonathan had the exact same scenario you mentioned but never hamped on it as excuse for failure and no Nigerian should excuse failure in this 2025 based on tribal sentiments otherwise it’s dead on arrival

That is what they learnt from tinubu and Sanwo olu destroying igbo people property for not voting for them while Yorubas have been voting who they wanted but one thing is certain….consequences

Emilokan is busy forming one party state which will eventually sink him. The basic aim of elections is to have good governance and not that Africans particularly like that concept. If tinubu had come in and brought dollar down to less than 200 naira, fuel down to less than 100 naira, used technology to defeat terrorism and kidnappings to barest minimums, fixed federal highways, citizens getting electricity at least minimum of 8-10 hours everyday…nobody would care about 2027 or what he does in 2027 but his dismal failure the worst in Nigerian history have pushed majority of Nigerians looking up 2027 as a hope of redemption from tinubu

I know you must be Agbado with this reasoning that believes Peter Obi was buhari, emefiele, tinubu and Cardozo that crashed naira from its value of less than 150 naira when Obi invested in sabmiller to present value of almost 2,000 naira . Inspite of these destructive policies of Agbado which they blame Peter Obi for sabmiller still generates more revenue than than the brewery in Ogun and Edo combined . Everything Peter Obi touches turns to gold but everything tinubu touches…….

I don’t understand how somebody will tell you in clear terms they don’t want you in their country but come to your country to eat amala and you celebrate it. Is that a slavery or inferiority complex mentality?

Rented crowd you will say . Look at all of them wearing the same colored t caps and shirts

seunmsg:
Democracy is not a perfect system of government. It is simply a rule of the majority. In fact, a political scholar once described democracy as the tyranny of the majority. As imperfect as it is, it is still the best form of governance for a multi ethnic and multi religious country like Nigeria.

Nigeria is not practicing real democracy but kleptocracy

Traore is acknowledged to be performing well by his people so it’s up to them to decide. The basic aim of elections is to have good governance and not that Africans particularly like that concept. If tinubu had come in and brought dollar down to less than 200 naira, fuel down to less than 100 naira, used technology to defeat terrorism and kidnappings to barest minimums, fixed federal highways, citizens getting electricity at least minimum of 8-10 hours everyday…nobody would care about 2027 or what he does in 2027 but his dismal failure the worst in Nigerian history have pushed majority of Nigerians looking up 2027 as a hope of redemption from tinubu

The only person that will be suprised by these acts of kindness and humanity are people who know nothing about Obi because they kept saying Obi humble, compassionate and generous lifestyle is not real and will change after elections but today 2 years after elections it has not changed and continues and we have been vindicated again about the man Peter Obi. The man have been like this for the past 20 years, during his and after his tenure he has donated billions of naira to people who do not even have opportunity to thank him or is it in physical serving the poor area? During the party APGA did after their LGA elections in 2013 he served me food personally wearing APGA uniform . I was like “…your excelleny …” and he “ …nwokem gwam ife ichoo ili kam tinyelu gi..(mr. man wetin you wan chop make I put for you) “fried rice, chicken , beef and coleslaw..” oya next person on line..Governor ooo so anybody who is expecting him to change is expecting the impossible

Obi is trending everywhere not only in Nigeria but all over west Africa. If you start a blogging site today and have never received a comment or view just mention Obi and you will get 500 comments so this platform is not any different as any thread you open about Peter Obi must definitely reach at least 10 threads and hundreds of thousands of read views before the end of the of the day unlike any other Nigerian. Nigerian politicians and businesses are also cashing into Obi fame to stay relevant, if na lie ask Reno. Peter Obi is an extraordinary human and his fame exceeds every imaginable bounds. A new Nigeria is possible with Peter Obi the peoples president

EvilMerodack:
All these epistles on top a simple factual list?

Our underdevelopment shouldnt be a worry to those that sit-at-home every Monday

You develop but your region dey struggle to attract foreign investment. You develop and your region is the homogenous in the country(development breeds heterogenuity).

By financial institution, Educational institute, Entertainment hub and even Tourist attraction, SW dey far ahead of your region, but na dem no develop . Abakaliki logic


Just go to other threads and vent.

Remove Lagos the former FCT of Nigeria that was developed by federal government and rest of Nigerians and see that the rest of SW is total shit hole. Visit SE, see hospitals, private schools, entertainment centers etc and compare with what you have in oshogbo, ekiti, Ibadan etc your eye go clear and you cannot even afford a plot of land in SE

The reason why he has that cult like political stardom in Nigeria is that since the 1993 Abiola campaign when bashorun are ona kakanfo laid bare his solutions of transformation of the country which Nigerians aligned with him; no politician had come close to outlining how their vision and policy can fix the problems of the country till Obi came in 2023 and swept an entire country off its feet with his vision and practical implementation of same to restore Nigeria to prosperity. We looked at his plan , believed in it to transform Nigeria because we do not have any other country than the one they are destroying today, so we became obidient to that vision and goal to restore Nigeria to prosperity and safe country

SeraphicWind:
Honestly, there is this sad feeling I am having ever since Buhari's death. I can't even explain.

I am a hardcore Igbo man. A Pure Christian.

Buhari on the other hand is everything opposite me.

He was a known Igbo hater and a Muslim.

But for some reason, I have been internally sad after hearing of this man's death.

Despite this man orchestrating so many evils against the Igbo Nation and Nigeria in general, I refuse to celebrate his death.

What could be wrong?

Maybe my inner man is telling me that he was principled.

As much as you may want to hate this man, one thing you can't take away from Buhari is his non-attachment to material things.

I mean, you cannot point to one hotel, estate or building and say this man owns it directly. Despite the powers he wielded.

Can the same be said of this PURE EVIL we have in power now?

What I saw during Shettima condolence visit to his family is a luxurious house in contrast to the one buhari have always shown Nigerians through his photographer bayo which showed tattered old model seats depicting very modest or poor living. This man surely lived a double life . One he showed to Nigerians and the other his personal private luxurious living, free from Nigerian public eye where he thoroughly enjoyed himself …even remember few months ago where he was caught spraying hundreds of dollars on a northern musician and his handlers moved into action to cover it immediately

This one is worse than Mahmoud imagine what they call elections
