PoliticsRe: Is Tinubu The Most Powerful President Nigeria Ever Produced? by Ritchiee: 4:07pm On Feb 13
SisterAnn:
Yes he is the most the powerful!

Under him, over six new terror groups emerged and are doing great in their areas of interest.
Even under Donald Trump,Americans have killed more than 15,000 people through terrorism called gun violence.

People are saying that President Tinubu is the most powerful because no other govt since the creation of Nigeria has ever performed like this baba Tinubu.


No govt is perfect and without corruption but President Tinubu has been very prudent with the finances of Nigeria.
He has also paid off $7 billion dollars Nigeria owed foreign airlines making a total of almost $ 11 billon that he has paid.
He is also doing....

NELFUND...If you are poor and have 100 children,go and put them for university.Tinubu will pay their school fees and also give them#20,000 Every month for pocket.It is when they get work that they will pay back like kobo kobo without interest.No job,no pay cheesy

CREDIT SCHEME.

FREE TECHNICAL COLLEGES WITH FREE FOOD AND PAYMENT OF #22,500 TO ALL STUDENTS EVERY MONTH.

FREE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR ALL PENSIONERS NATIONWIDE.

SUBSIDISED DIALYSIS TREATMENT.

ETC

You think say all the people wey dey enjoy these goodies wey never happen for Nigeria before go allow you commot am?
Ehn baba?
We no go gree,sir.

He is also executing numerous massive projects in all the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria.
Since the creation of Nigeria,no govt has performed like him even as he has just used less than 3 years.

He has also promised,God willing,to end terrorism and banditry before he hands over in 2031.
God will surely do it for us
May God accept Nigerians' prayers to end this bloodletting .
God always triumphs.
PoliticsRe: Greatest Military Empire From Each Country by Ritchiee: 5:49am On Feb 07
Helinuse:
Again, projecting the history you learnt about others to yours.

That is the issue.

Not all empires were created or survived by strength.
Some empires were created not because they were strong, but because they just had people of one culture and belief system existing in a location.
Some were survived not because they were strong, but because no one challenged them.

The Oyo empire didn’t exist because of any Calvary or strength somewhere, but because of they had a people with a common culture and tradition living in a location that was geographically impenetrable.

That is why it was a very very very small empire compared to what other called an empire, like the Roman Empire, British Empire, Greece, or even the African Kanem Bornu Empire. That is why the Oyo empire was never recorded to battle with any formidable foe, simply because they were just as surviving empire. Same with the Benin empire, etc. The were just small hamlet size people who couldn’t have people consider important enough for conquest.

That is why the first time they faced a formidable foe (British empire), they packed up. That was their end.

You are here talking about 100,000 calvaries because one guy sat somewhere and wrote history the way he felt like writing it. 😅😅😅

If it was truly a formidable empire, why was there also a Benin empire around it? Or an Ibibio kingdom? Una no even know wetin be empire sef.

You are happily referencing a “Cambride University” as a source. A university that, due to its lack of evidence, relied on people like you to tell your story. And that story became history.
lol
Ignorance is really a gradual killer.
At its peak in the late 17th and 18th centuries, the Oyo Empire was a massive West African power, covering over 150,000 square kilometers (approx. 58,000 sq miles). It extended from the Volta River in the west to the Niger River in the east, encompassing modern-day southwestern/north-central Nigeria and extending into the Republic of Benin.
It controlled most of the Yoruba kingdoms, the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey, and parts of the Nupe and Borgu territories.

The empire was dominated by a formidable, horse-mounted cavalry, which allowed for rapid expansion and control over the savannah region.

The empire was a, highly organized state with a complex government, utilizing a system of Alaafin (king), Oyo Mesi (council of chiefs), and provincial administrators.

As the largest empire in pre-colonial Nigeria, its influence extended far beyond its core territory, impacting trade and politics throughout West Africa.

The capital, Oyo-Ile (Old Oyo), was a heavily fortified city, with the Alaafin's palace spanning an estimated 640 acres.

Go learn from these...

Britannica Encyclopedia: Provides a comprehensive overview of the Oyo Empire's history.

Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (Cambridge) - Kingdoms of Oyo and Dahomey: Offers educational resources on the relationship between the Oyo and Dahomey kingdoms, including information on art, culture, and trade.

PoliticsRe: Greatest Military Empire From Each Country by Ritchiee: 5:10pm On Feb 06
Helinuse:
We must not lie just because we want to join others in a story.

There is nothing like the Oyo Calvary.

We only know of the Oyo Empire.
This is from Cambridge University...

The Oyo Empire (c. 1400–1837), located in present-day western Nigeria, relied on a formidable cavalry to dominate the West African savannah. Renowned for speed and discipline, this elite force, often numbering over 100,000, combined heavy cavalry (using large horses, spears, and swords) with light cavalry (using indigenous ponies and bows), enabling rapid conquest of neighboring territories, including Dahomey.

Nollyvin:
What do you expect from a fraudulent government? I We still have a long way to go as a nation. Is well.
This has always been the norms in Nigeria since yore.
Yes,all Nigerian govts have always been fraudulent with very fraudulent National Assembly who had always padded the budgets with fraudulent items.
If you call this Tinubu govt that is executing numerous projects all over the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria,what will you call Saghari,IBB,Obasanjo,Yaradua,Jonathan etc govts?
If all the previous govts did half of what Tinubu is doing today,Nigeria would have grown phenomenally.

PoliticsRe: Who Would You Vote Among These Presidential Candidates If Presented And Why? by Ritchiee: 4:09pm On Feb 02
Reasons why Nigerians will vote for Tinubu again and again:


The road is in lekki coastal area of lagos. I drive through the road almost everyday.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gphLX8Ym29E?si=e76IIPXGPbgG8Vof
The road is actively going on in 5 locations..



You really asked a sensible question,sir.
These are some positives to answer your question.No govt is perfect.


Under Tinubu,why are the govs paying #70,000- #104,000 minimum wage easily without owing shishi but were owing up to 20-40 months salaries previously?


Why are the govs paying their debts even some up to 85% while they were always borrowing previously ?

Why are the govs executing projects right and left without borrowing and doing better than previously ?

Why was the FG able to pay all IMF DEBTS off and not able to previously?




ASSUU has not gone on strike even with their humongous demands because the govt is giving them almost all what they want and using the savings from subsidy diligently.
They just signed a ground breaking agreement that could not be signed previously.

NELFUND is gulping money but giving easiness to parents and their children.If you have 10 children,you can send them to the university without breaking a sweat.God is great.
Never knew this will ever happen in Nigeria.

Technical colleges all over the nation are free with free food everyday and #22,500 free pocket money every month.


CONSUMER CREDIT SCHEME.

KIDNEY DIALYSIS almost free treatment.
(Haemodialysis is expensive, costing approximately N150,000:00 to N250,000:00 every month excluding Erythropoietin injections weekly)


Old pensioners get free medical treatment in Nigeria.


Humongous projects that have never been witnessed in Nigeria going on in the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria.

Nigeria is third in military power in Africa.
Egypt is widely recognized as Africa's strongest military power, followed by Algeria, with Nigeria rising to third during this Tinubu regime because of the billion of dollars weaponry acquired making Nigeria one of the best in military in Africa.

$7 billion + the IMF more than $3 billion dollars Tinubu paid off are not to be forgotten.

Etc.

Will you prefer going back to when govts couldn't pay workers mere #18,000,#30,000?

When states were owing 5,6,12 months salaries?

When pensioners were dying on queues?

When poor people could not go to universities,Technical colleges because the poor parents had no money?
Tinubu has made it easy for you to send your children to the university even if they are 200 in number.

Kukutente23:
Madam Abike should step in and warn America that nothing must happen to our citizens else the US will feel our wrath

PoliticsRe: Ongoing: Construction and Expansion of Abuja-Mararaba-Keffi Expressway By PBAT by Ritchiee: 3:08pm On Jan 31
AMINDA:
Why do Agbadorians lie so effortlessly? This road is being constructed by the Nassarawa state government. Aside the 15 trillion naira coastal road, what really is the federal government doing with its own share of the allocation? You can clearly see the name of the contractor handling the project, Triacta Nigeria Ltd.
Aboki,
the expansion and rehabilitation of the Abuja-Maraba-Keffi road is a major Federal Government of Nigeria project. It is supervised by the Federal Ministry of Works as part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, with a ₦73.9 billion budget and a completion deadline set for 2026 to address severe traffic congestion.
Key Details of the Project:
Purpose: To dualize the expressway, reduce chronic traffic congestion (especially around the Nyanya-Maraba axis), and improve commuter safety.
Supervision: The project is under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Works, led by Minister Engr. David Umahi.
Progress & Challenges: Due to severe traffic delays, the federal government ordered night construction and has taken steps to address slow progress, including withdrawing sections of the contract from certain firms.
Completion Date: The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
The project involves significant structural work, including the use of 3.5% cement to stabilize the base, 20-centimetre-thick concrete shoulders, and milling of existing asphalt to ensure a 40-year lifespan.

There's no public record of poverty rate by state by world bank in 2025.

In fact, world bank projected that up to 139 million Nigerians will be in poverty before the year ends, no thanks to Tinubu's babablu governance.

In summary, Tinubu is the president of more than 139 million poor Nigerians.
AI Overview



+6
The World Bank's October 2025 Nigeria Development Update (NDU) highlights a severe poverty situation, projecting 61% of Nigerians (around 139 million people) living in poverty in 2025, a reversal from prior trends, driven by inflation and eroded purchasing power despite macro-economic stabilization from reforms like subsidy removal and exchange rate unification. Poverty remains highest in the North (especially North-East/West) for children, but the new data underscores that all regions struggle as macro gains haven't translated to household welfare, with a critical need for social protection and inflation control.
Key Findings from the October 2025 Report:
Poverty Rate: Projected to hit 61% in 2025, affecting about 139 million people.
Causes: Economic reforms (subsidy removal, FX unification) stabilized the economy but high food inflation and weak growth left many households struggling.
Regional Disparity: While specific 2025 regional breakdowns aren't fully detailed in snippets, historical data shows the North-East and North-West have significantly higher child poverty rates, suggesting these areas are disproportionately affected.
Impact: Families face challenges like skipping meals, dropping out of school, and selling assets, with food consuming ~70% of poor households' income.
Regional Context (Based on Related Data):
Multidimensional Poverty (Child MPI): Higher rates in North-East (90%) and North-West (90%), lower in South-East (74%) and South-West (65.1%).
General Trend: The NDU emphasizes that poverty is rising across the board, indicating all geo-political zones are suffering from the cost of living crisis, even as the North has historically been more vulnerable.
PoliticsRe: Zones That Have Access To Water Supply, From Top To Bottom by Ritchiee: 10:42am On Dec 10, 2025
Believe this and you will believe that hens have teeth.



While specific regional data varies and overall access is low, Lagos State consistently shows the highest access to basic water services (around 96%), followed by Jigawa and Imo, with Kwara also noted for high piped access, indicating the Southwest and parts of the North (like Jigawa) have better infrastructure, though functionality and consistent supply remain major challenges nationwide.
Key Findings:
Lagos State: Leads with about 96% access to basic water supply, though much of this is via public taps or motorized systems, not always direct pipe-borne, as noted in allAfrica.com.
Jigawa & Imo States: Follow Lagos with high access (92% and 90% respectively) in a 2020 survey, showing strong performance in the North-West and South-East, notes allAfrica.com.
Kwara State: Showed high piped water access (around 59.5%) in one study, placing it high on the piped water index, according to SciSpace.
South-West (General): Areas in the Southwest, like Oyo State's Ibadan North (97.5% access in a study), show high levels of service, though often through varied systems, reports ScienceDirect.com.
