They make all these money, yet borrow with reckless abandon.

The man Tinubu made President was responsible for it.

SmartPolician:
There's a trending video of one Hausa guy who was raised in the US saying that if Nigeria genuinely wants to make progress, we have to cut off the north. These northerners keep proving him right!

What’s the difference between North and South?

PDP bad, PDP bad. I don’t remember when OBJ, Yaradua or GEJ blamed the military governments and past administrations for the current situation of the country when they were in power.

APC is a useless and directionless party.

Hope you will sell subsidized turkey, chicken and goats during Christmas.

Legalize guns ownership and see all these crimes rate drop drastically.

LOL.

Share the resources to your friends.

Noblechykk:
Because he supported Trump doesn't mean he will agree with every of his policy. That's why they are far ahead of us..Down here, nothing Tinubu does is wrong in the eyes of his supporters which is a shame

Here it’s all about their stomach and survival? They will say “Yes sir” if asked to jump into fire.

The same AI one of your fellow ministers said he used to determine poor Nigerians?

Married for the fourth time is a more accurate description.

casualobserver:
In that case you should have enough common sense to know that people make slips of tongue and our journalists these. Days are notorious for quack reporting. Many of them are only journalists because they can’t get a better job.

Either way your common sense should have kicked in. It’s like reading a story or headline for instance claiming we are to spend $1T on a project. You don’t need any brain power to know it is an error and it is either N1TNaira or $1B!

Okay. I just hope you’re getting paid enough for these defenses you put up for these politicians.

Don’t do it for free o. Good bye.

casualobserver:
Please show us where Tinubu said it has dropped to 40%! He may have said it had dropped by 40% and like most Nigerians who speak English but really don’t understand English (including the fuuuul in England who thinks he understands English better than an Englishman and challenged him to a competition) who you failed the comprehend and understand the difference between “to 40%” and “by 40%”.

A drop “of” 40% from 97% is consistent with a “drop to”. below 60%.

People like Onanuga went to school when you couldn’t pass English talk leas become a journalist in less you truly understood English.

The problem with you lots is after telling so much lies, you forget that you’ve told so much lies.

“Our debt position is improving. While foreign exchange revaluation pushed our debt-to-GDP ratio to around 53%, our debt service-to-revenue ratio dropped from nearly 100% in 2022 to under 40% by 2024. We paid off our IMF obligations and grew our net external reserves by almost 500% from $4 billion in 2023 to over $23 billion by the end of 2024.

‘’Thanks to our reforms, state revenue increased by over N6 trillion in 2024, ensuring that sub-national governments can reduce their debt burden, meet salaries and pension obligations on a timely basis, and invest more in critical infrastructure and human capital development.

As PDP worst reach, I don’t remember anytime a president went to commission a road that was uncompleted let alone just 4% completed.

As Buhari terrible reach, he didn’t go to commission a 4% completion project.

Lagos landlord has introduced a new dimension of sycophancy.

Last week Tinubu said debt servicing had drop from 97% to below 40%, now Mr. Onanuga said it has dropped to below 60%. Who do we believe?

Let all politicians and political appointees get paid accordingly as civil servants and see if funds won’t be freed up to build “infrastructure”. Una dey fly new jet up and down dey tell us say you need to borrow to fund “projects”.

Nigeria’s petrol price should naturally be lower than any nation that’s not producing crude.

lol.

Before Tinubu, OBJ was head of state and he built the national theatre in Lagos. He built FESTAC town in 1977.

Obj was head of state at the age of 39/40, Tinubu was not one to be known then.

During OBJ’s tenure as head of state, Jimmy carter the late President of the USA came to Nigeria to visit. Bill Clinton as well as George Bush were two other US presidents that came to visit Nigeria. They all came when OBJ was president or head of state.

In “76 when OBJ came on board as head of state, Nigeria’s inflation was 36%, within a year, inflation dropped to 30%.

Obj is not a saint, but it is an insult comparing someone like Tinubu to Obasanjo. Obj is far ahead of Tinubu in all ramifications but tribal and politics of hate.

The poster must be a child for him to say he grew when Tinubu was governor. He clearly doesn’t even know his left from right.

Obj never ceased state allocations to Lagos state. What was stopped was LGA allocations and the reason is simple. Tinubu created new LGs which is against the constitution of the country and refused to cancel them. Obj and the FG then decided to not give LG allocations for 20 LGAs to Tinubu then because he was going to share it amongst 57 LGAs as against the 20 recognized by the constitution.

AntiChristian:
And isn't it okay to do that now and suffer than postponing the suffering?

This is the true value of our economy!

We were living in denial before!

LOL. Okay.

AntiChristian:
Na dollar price affect everything!

Even person wey dey plant for him backyard do local gari without security issues dey elevate price.

Even person wey them convert CNG bus for am free dey charge same price as normal petrol buses!

Blame Tinubu till tomorrow, Nigeria still remains better than Ghana, Niger and co.

We all contributed to the mess in one way or the other!

Tinubu is the sole cause of all these inflation. Devaluation of the naira and sudden removal of fuel subsidy caused all these.

After all these games and medals, we go to the Olympics and compete in just a handful of events and come home with zero to one medal.

“That so much has been achieved by a government stuffed with cronies — and, to be fair, one or two competent technocrats — shows how much could be achieved if Nigeria really got its act together. There are plenty of ways for Tinubu to build on a promising start”

An excerpt from the post.

You can take the boy out of the agbado, but you can’t take the agbado out of the boy.

The emperor has spoken.

Not a single achievement talks about the welfare of the citizens. All he’s saying is revenue, tax, debt, loan.

They will ask him to be “constructive” in his criticisms. As if they were constructive when they lambasted other presidents when they were in opposition. (The one above already asked the cardinal to proffer solutions). Was the cardinal elected to become president? The man that is president said he has all Nigeria’s problems solutions and he’s been preparing for over 20 years.

A leader is supposed to listen to the plight of the people he governs and not some ministers and advisers you employed that will only as-slick you just to keep their jobs.

Smartcitizen:
Show us your Lagos after the the rain please.

You don ever see me bragging about Lagos being run well?

If we go by the definition of democracy by the Greeks that founded it, we will find out that what we practice in Nigeria is not democracy.

It’s more accurate to say we have civil rule.

Na the same Aba they’ve been saying it’s already turning to small London get this kain bad road?

In your quest to defend the govt of the day’s crazy borrowing, you exposed the hypocrisy of one of the lawmakers supporting the government of the day.

Keep it up.

Same pattern.

They denied buying jet, we saw jet few months later.

They said refinery was working. Few months later, the working refinery shut down.

They said they’re not borrowing, in few months we’ll see they’ve borrowed and received borrowed funds.

You guys lie for a living. Keep up the great lies.

Factcheck0001:
You have eyes but can't read, have brain but can't comprehend. This is a borrowing plan for both federal and state governments in the MTEF for two years. Not all might be borrowed, it is just a framework. In recent development where states are borrowing less and repaying their debts, it is necessary to put a cap on the borrowing framework.
Una mind is only set to trigger negative alarms, misinterprete facts and spread falsehoods and that's what bitterness and election loss have done to you guys.
You guys are not the first people to lose an election in this country, those who lost in the past did not behave like that was the end of their lives.

The same way y’all defended the “functional” refineries even when we clamored that it’s all fake and later we were justified is the same way we will be justified later on this matter.

Lies can only travel far, it takes just a second for the truth to catch up with it.

Putindbutt:
For agenda to agend, the election losers will quickly convert the loans to naira to make it look big as if it was collected and will be paid in naira

Are you saying $28bn is not big?
