So Daily post is now nairaland ?

What is Daily Post?

Local mushroom paper.

Msssheww

RandDigital:
Hmmm, you own yourselves but half the country lives abroad, including the president, and the other half is also looking to japa?

Seems our 1% stake in SA is far superior to your 100%.

Come on will you SHUT UP.

Nigeria has 250 million people of which less than 3 million are overseas.

So which "half the country" did you see abroad?

There are over 1 million Pakistanis in South Africa.

Indians? Over 3 million there!

Are Nigerians even up to 50,000 there?

Yet all your hate is for them because Apartheid taught you to hate your own race and worship your white oppressors.

Before light skin colour, you turn from hard men to mosquitoes.

LadyExcellency:
The shame is not on our politicians but on Nigeria as a country.

Nigeria is suffering because the lifestyle of greed and covetousness has been normalised as a culture; hence, nature and God's favour have departed from the country.

National repentance and mental reprogramming are the solutions.

SHUT UP.

It is people like you who go on social media to trash Nigeria that allow these riff-raff in Soweto and other filthy ghetto "townships" in South Africa to open their mouths with AUDACITY to insult Nigeria.

So SHUT UP.

Racoon:
See finish from xenophobic arsonists. This is the national disgrace, shamelessness, and embarrassment Tinubu have subjected Nigeria to.

But South Africans hate Nigerians because of the thousands of drug traffickers from your side operating there.

That's their problem with us, not Tinubu.

Ezeama400:
Nigeria is a laughing stock in the global community just because of this criminal.


Tinubu is a disgrace to humanity

NONSENSE...

WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT THIS STUFF ON NAIRALAND.

IT'S NOWHERE IN INTERNATIONAL MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

GO ON GOOGLE. NOTHING.

Atiku's Mysterious, Newfound Fluency

Has anyone noticed the incredibly lucid, highly articulate arguments being released by Atiku of late?

Highly cogent arguments against the government in impeccable grammar, irresistible logic, and exquisite delivery.

It's almost as if he has taken on the persona of a Barack Obama in his highly persuasive, elegantly phrased, grammatically flawless public statements responding to the Tinubu administration.

A RARE ABILITY HE SEEMINGLY HAS GAINED OVERNIGHT AFTER DECADES OF DULL, VAPID, EMPTY RHETORIC.

What accounts for this startling transformation?

Well, those of us who use AI on a daily basis know exactly what he's doing.

You can literally go on ChatGPT AI and tell it that you are Atiku Abubakar contesting against Tinubu at the election.

And tell it to give you a fierce response to a statement or claim Tinubu made. Or policy he introduced etc.

IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS you have the full text. You copy and paste it somewhere and that becomes your "official statement".

That's all Atiku, or his aide, is doing.

There's no govt policy on Earth that AI will not have highly persuasive, perfectly delivered counter-arguments against.

AI can rubbish any govt policy in 2 seconds.

So that's what Atiku and his people are doing.

If you didn't know, Now you know. 😏

Meanwhile, someone should advise Obi to consider using AI as well to curtail that his mouth that shoots before his brain thinks.

Rayjay45:
By the time Atiku is done with Tinubu, even the APC boys on here would wish Obidients still had Obi in their plans.

Because omo, e be like all Nigerians wan dey rush Atiku now o which technically is game over for Tinubu's re-election bid.

Suddenly APC needs Obidients and Peter Obi. Dem better change attack formation ASAP

I LAUGH IN HAUSA....

OGA, ATIKU IS USING CHATGPT AI TO PRODUCE THOSE "STATEMENTS".

THOSE OF US WHO USE AI DAILY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES TO GET THESE EXTRAORDINARILY SHARP, LUCID COUNTER-ARGUMENTS.

AN ABILITY HE SEEMINGLY HAS GAINED OVERNIGHT AFTER DECADES OF DULL, VAPID. EMPTY RHETORIC.

You can literally go on ChatGPT and tell it you are Atiku Abubakar contesting against Tinubu at the election. And tell it to give you a fierce response to a statement or claim Tinubu made. Or policy he introduced etc.

IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS you have the full text. You copy and paste it somewhere and that becomes "your official statement".

That's all Atiku, or his aide, is doing.

anonimi:
Does Tinubu also have a spiteful mind

Please let me know if you need an explanation of what RISING means.

ZERO RELEVANCE TO YOUR CLAIMS OF ALL NIGERIA BEING UNSAFE EVEN THOUGH YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW HAVING NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY VIOLENCE.

THIS IS THE ONLY COUNTRY ON EARTH WHERE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SCREAM "INSECURITY" WHILE HAVING NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED ANY FORM OF INSECURITY, AND YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.

richiejedi:
This madness only happens in Lagos State,no other part of Nigeria does this bracing entitlement begging happens,it's about time the government does something about it.
Even in an elite place like the airport, almost all the personnels there are beggers,with uniforms on

WHEN LAST WERE YOU AT Lagos Airport?

You just come online to type ignorant nonsense.

anonimi:
Must you feel something at a personal level for it to be real for people in the country

What balablu bulaba propaganda kind of reasoning is this?

In other words, you've never been robbed.

Just like 99.9% of Nairalanders.

You've been completely SAFE in Nigeria, but your spiteful mind leads you to testify LIES about "insecurity".

PepeXKermit:
Tinubus lagos... una no go understand how bad una get am until una travel comot for this country...

This is the mentality that has led many of you to become slaves in Libya and Lebanon.

Next thing we'll see videos of you on YouTube begging the Nigerian govt to rescue you.

Hopeless generation.

"2027 IS OUR TURN" — IGBO ELDERS APPEAL TO TINUBU AND ATIKU TO STEP DOWN FOR PETER OBI, WARN OF DANGER IF SOUTH EAST IS DENIED PRESIDENCY
"First Civil War Was In The East. We Pray Igbos Will Not Invade South West Region And Begin Second Civil War In Yoruba Land Come 2027"

A coalition of Igbo elders and socio-political leaders has issued a strong appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former VP Atiku Abubakar to "honor justice" and step down for Peter Obi in 2027, insisting that the South East deserves its turn to produce Nigeria’s next president.

The elders, said the continued exclusion of Ndigbo from the presidency since 1999 is fueling deep frustration and national instability.

In a communique released Sunday in Enugu, the elders argued that rotation between the 6 geo-political zones is the only path to national unity.

"Mr. President, Alhaji Atiku, for the sake of peace, equity and the future of this country, please step aside for Peter Obi. 2027 is the turn of the South East," the statement read.

"Ndigbo have waited, contributed, and bled for this country. Denying us again in 2027 will be a great injustice."

They praised Obi as "a detribalized Nigerian with capacity, character and competence" and said he represents the best chance for healing.


The elders went further, warning that if the South East is denied the presidency again, it could trigger serious national crisis.

"The first civil war was fought in the South East region. We do not pray for another one. But if people feel permanently excluded from power, anger grows," a senior elder said.

"We are praying that the next disagreement will not be pushed to the South West region or anywhere else. Nigeria cannot afford another war."

They stressed they are *not calling for war*, but warning leaders not to "push patriotic citizens to the wall."


As of press time, the Presidency, APC and PDP had not issued official responses.

Political analysts say the call adds to growing 2027 permutations around zoning, with Tinubu expected to seek re-election and Atiku also widely rumored to be considering another run.

Peter Obi’s NDC Party camp has not officially commented on the elders’ appeal.


The elders said they will begin nationwide consultations with other zones, traditional rulers, and youth groups to "sell the South East presidency project peacefully" ahead of 2027.

"We want Nigeria to remain one. But one Nigeria must be a fair Nigeria," the communique concluded.

Nigeria’s presidency has rotated between North and South since 1999, but no president of Igbo extraction has emerged from the South East zone. The 2027 general election is scheduled by INEC for January 2027.

So, after dragging the entire country online for the past few years.

After demarketing and rubbishing the country's image on social media day in day out, you people still have the AUDACITY to demand the Presidency.

Oh well. Keep dreaming sha...

HacheNoire:
He said the blatant truth!

Middle East religions are scams! Brainwashing tools!

If not stupidity, how can you believe a man in the Middle East died for your sins in Africa, or one man in Saudi was used to communicate to you in Africa.

It takes great level of ignorance, foolishness and stupidity.

If those religions were so true and real, Arabs and Europeans won’t give it to you. You think they like you that much?

They knew it will conquer you and make you powerless.

Gbam!

You're an intelligent African.

People practicing these foreign invaders' religions are the biggest looters, scammers, kidnappers, bandits, tribalists, money ritualists and all manner of demonic characters in the country today.

Every single one of them is a Christian or Muslim.

ZERO MORALS.

ZERO RIGHTEOUSNESS.

HacheNoire:
But a convicted criminal governing the US is safe?

Same country that could not release the Epstein files now saying they want to release the files of a case that was concluded 4 decades ago.

How do you think? Is this mental slavery or inferiority complex?

Atiku and Obi are village-brought up characters for whom oyinbo and America are more or less God.

They don’t even understand the point you're making.

motymop:
1 trillion gdp by 2030

you no get light, half of your population are poor and unproductive and you are already dreaming of a 1 trillion usd gdp in 2030

You guys are really something...

It's like you derive an almost erotic pleasure from rubbishing our aspirations...

A sinister, obscene pleasure of sadists and sado-machosists alike.

Well, the future will prove us right. 😉

Kobojunkie:
1. Ruins, many of which date back only a couple of 100 years, with the oldest dating back to over 1000 years after Egyptian architectural monuments of the time, which it resembles, are signs of greatness and Africa being the cradle of civilization? 😐😐

2. This coming from someone crazy for the same recognition that he believes whites have, that he would spit out the nonsense he has thus far about ruins that clearly show signs of imported architectural ideas, even at the time of their building? 😐😐

What is this person yammering about?

Which building there is "a couple 100 years old"?

ARE YOU EVEN AWARE THAT EGYPT WAS A BLACK AFRICAN CIVILISATION?

ARE YOU AWARE THAT SPEECH, WRITING, MATHEMATICS AND IRON SMELTING ARE BLACK AFRICAN INVENTIONS?

Do you know that without black African ingenuity, the entire world would be in STONE AGE CAVES today?

So you people still chase women?

Me I don't chase anyone..

“Name one thing that has become CHEAPER under Tinubu.”

HE ENDED FUEL SUBSIDIES.

HOW THE HELL WOULD THINGS BE CHEAPER?

If you want to return to fuel subsidy, say so and stop all this your Maradona question..

Exactly… don’t mind that silly and mischievous fellow

As you rightly stated, many small businesses/SMEs have been established over 3yrs till date - see how MoniePoint & Opay registered millions of business owners. I noticed people resorted to starting their businesses/startups than looking for paid employment.

I myself have been a Business Owner for over 3years.

I keep telling people: If you don't have a job, go on ChatGPT AI and say "I have no job. I'm in x town or village with no cash and I need a business to start now and earn N3 million a month. Give me 50 solid ideas".

Instantly you get it.

Then you choose 1.

Then tell AI to give you a full step-by-step roadmap for earning MILLIONS of naira a month with that business.

Instantly you get it.

This is stuff we used to pay thousands upon thousands of naira to various agencies a few years ago. For business plans, swot analysis, cash flow analysis. Etc.

NOW IT'S ALL FREE PLUS MORE WITH AI!!

In fact going around looking for employment today is not necessary. You can create your own job starting with Zero Naira today.

The information on what to do is freely available with AI.

Beautifulday:
In Lagos, shops are closing everyday. You come out, you hear someone just packed out of a shop like it is a normal thing

Go and sit down and stop talking jazz.

You "hear".

You "hear" what you want to hear.

Madam Hearer.

HacheNoire:
It is card of most set of politicians around the world. They have to find a divide.

Republicans in the US will tell you immigrants are the problem while Lagos APC government will tell non indigenes are the problem and want to hijack the state.

That way, the people lose focus on expectation and focus on the new found enemy. They don’t care about who they are voting for or what he has to offer, so far they are voting against their supposed enemy.

Look at Lagos today, my own dear Lagos. It’s a foist of herself.

Many people just don’t know what Lagos use to be and think it’s a norm.

They use excuses of population growth to support the decay forgetting same population growth propelled IGR. Massive debt with nothing to show for it.

ABEG STOP TALKING RUBBISH.

What happened to Lagos?

Lagos is better and finer, with more attractions and places to go than ever before.

WHO IS ACCRA?

SINCE WHEN?

ANY STUPID LIST FROM GOODNESS-KNOWS-WHERE, YOU SWALLOW WITHOUT ASKING WHO CONDUCTED THE SO-CALLED RESEARCH AND HOW!

HAS ACCRA GOT MORE CLUBS AND RESTAURANTS AND PARTIES AND PARTY GOERS THAN LAGOS?

SINCE WHEN?

RUBBISH!

STRONG GDP GROWTH MEANS WE'RE ON TRACK FOR $1 TRILLION ECONOMY BY 2030 - FG

The Federal Government has said Nigeria’s stronger economic growth is putting the country on course to achieve its target of a $1tn economy by 2030.

The Federal Ministry of Finance stated this on Tuesday while reacting to the latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures, which showed that Nigeria’s economy grew by 4.43 per cent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026.

The Q2 growth rate was higher than the 4.23 per cent recorded in the corresponding period of 2025 and the 3.89 per cent recorded in the first quarter of 2026.

The ministry said the performance lifted real GDP growth for the first half of 2026 to 4.16 per cent, compared with 3.68 per cent in the corresponding period of 2025.

It described the figures as evidence of sustained strengthening across the economy, noting that growth was becoming increasingly broad-based.

According to the ministry, 27 economic subsectors recorded real growth of above three per cent in Q2 2026, compared with 23 subsectors in the same quarter of 2025.

It said the productive sectors recorded significant improvements, with manufacturing growing by 3.24 per cent, more than double the 1.60 per cent recorded in Q2 2025.

Agriculture also expanded by 4.39 per cent, compared with 2.82 per cent a year earlier, while the services sector grew by 4.60 per cent, up from 3.94 per cent.

The ministry further attributed the expansion of the economy in dollar terms to the relative stability and appreciation of the naira.

It said the naira appreciated by more than 12 per cent between the first halves of 2025 and 2026, resulting in an approximately 17 per cent expansion of the economy in US dollar terms over the period.

The ministry said sustained growth, alongside government social programmes, would help strengthen dollar incomes, improve purchasing power and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty.

“Given this momentum, Nigeria is well positioned to consolidate its standing among Africa’s largest economies and to advance toward the Government’s target of a $1tn economy by 2030,” it said.

The ministry also cited an International Monetary Fund projection which ranked Nigeria among the top 10 contributors to global real GDP growth in 2026.

It said the IMF projected Nigeria to account for roughly 1.5 per cent of global growth this year, placing the country ahead of several advanced and emerging economies.

The ministry further projected that continued macroeconomic stability, sustained growth across productive sectors and improving investor confidence could accelerate Nigeria’s emergence as Africa’s largest economy by 2028.

It, however, stressed the need to sustain the ongoing economic reforms and ensure policy consistency as the benefits of the reforms increasingly reach households and businesses.

The ministry said the government remained focused on accelerating inclusive growth and translating the improvement in key macroeconomic indicators into shared prosperity for Nigerians.

Let's be civil, gentlemen.

Not every discussion needs to degenerate into this kind of acrimonious back and forth..

One thing you guys fail to realise is that behind the scenes, and away from the cameras, all these big shots are friends.

Even Obi and Tinubu are friends.

They've sat down and drank at one time or the other.

So these are just manufactured rivalries that some of you carry on your heads like those women that sell Ewa Agonyin.

MrsAyomide:
Bola is desperately begging for Muslim votes as if the Muslim Muslim ticket is not enough for him he’s now sharing our common wealth to Islamic clerics.

Very desperate clown that sees himself as a lesser Muslim, hence he had to look for a bigger to make himself appealing to real Muslims..

Inferiority complex is a disease

The one they dash to CAN nko?

At least the Imams are collecting money from the government unlike your pastor that collects his own money from you while promising you a formless, quixotic, earth-bound version of the 72 Virgins.

Kobojunkie:
You sort of have it right there. I think of the 40,000 Iranians who were gunned down all because they went out to protest against the government, as though it were my townspeople to whom the same happened. 😒😒

STOP SPREADING ISRAELI PROPAGANDA ON "40 000 KILLED".

THOSE ARE PURE LIES FROM THE PITS OF HELL.

PLUS YOU SHOW FAKE EMPATHY BECAUSE WHEN YOUR WHITE MASTER TRUMP THREATENS TO WIPE OUT THE ENTIRE CIVILISATION OF IRAN - MEANING THE USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS - YOU, KOBOJUNKIE ARE SILENT.

SO SHUT UP AND STOP PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT IRANIAN LIVES.

OKAY?

GeneralOuki:
Were these Iranians solidly behind their government when they murdered over 20,000 protesters early this year?

STOP SPREADING ISRAELI PROPAGANDA COMING FROM WAR CRIMINALS AND PERPETRATORS OF GENOCIDE WHOM YOU SUPPORT.

YOU SUPPORT THE GENOCIDE OF MILLIONS OF ARABS YET CLAIM TO CARE ABOUT "20,000" OF THEM.

YOU CAN DECEIVE MAN BUT YOU CAN'T DECEIVE GOD.

Kobojunkie:
You and I will never see the world and history through the same lens. So, save yourself all these tears! 😒😒

Because you see "the world and history" through the blue eyes of your colonial 'master'.

Pathetic person.

THIS DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE NO MATTER THE ANGLE OF ANALYSIS OR ASSUMPTIONS YOU PAD INTO WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING

NA JUJU HIM USE?

HE WAS COMING EVERYDAY FOR 6 MONTHS AND THEY KEPT SERVING HIM FOOD KNOWING THAT HE USES FAKE TRANSFER AND DON'T PAY FOR THE FOOD AS HE JUST WALKS OUT AFTER EATING AND THEY NEVER STOPPED HIM FOR 6 MONTHS AND HE ALWAYS HAD THE BOLDNESS TO ALWAYS COME BACK EVERYDAY FOR 6 MONTHS

THE OBVIOUS PLAUSIBLE CAUSE IS THAT HE WAS FORKING ONE OR MORE OF THE SALES GIRLS THERE AND THEY WERE SERVING HIM FREE FOOD AS THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE ALWAYS CAME WHEN THE MADAM WASN'T AROUND CAUSE THE SALES GIRLS INSTRUCTED HIM TO ALWAYS COME WHEN THEIR MADAM WASN'T AROUND

FINISH AND KLAAR

Or maybe he was forking the Madam and they quarrelled, and she's now concocting stories...
