10bn naira for researchers.

21bn naira for VPs lodge
150bn for presidential plane
10bn for Aso villa solar project.
100bn for lawmakers vehicles

Here we see clearly where our politicians priorities lie.

HacheNoire:
We really made big mistakes in the past as a nation!

It is really sad that a Former Vice President can bring up frivolous and baseless accusations against His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Atiku was a former vice president— which we all can now conclude was a great mistake. He is aware of communication channels in government, private or NGO establishment.

If Nigeria is burning as falsely claimed, why not follow the communication channels instead of accusing the president about his presence.

So what use will his presence be when we have a structure where responsibilities ante designated?

It’s more sad and appalling that, in 2026, Atiku still believes in presence. His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) can do anything that is demanded of him to do from anywhere in the world.

Atiku should apologize to Nigerians for cajoling us to support his candidacy with Former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

It’s glaring it was a big mistake!

Six paragraphs of total hogwash.

Ankakh:
Yes, there are bad eggs but lumping everyone together is not how a nation is built.

Meanwhile, does that mean he's also a liar and a fraudster?

Yes they’re bad eggs, but in Nigeria, the bad eggs far outnumber the good ones.

Just have a normal conversation with an average Nigerian and see how skewed our thinking has become.

We’ve learned to accept abnormal as normal and they’ll easily say that’s how Nigeria is, they won’t even want to listen to what the laws in Nigeria say about things. These are people that actually went to schools.

Nigerians need a total overhaul of mindset and reeducation.

ElevationD:
And those who prefer that state machinery is used to rig elections in favour of horrible leaders are getting ready and jubilating. Those people who do not know how decent societies work. The whole place is littered with dubious and manipulative people.

Even the so called poor man who sells water wants to tie horrible water and sell. The mechanic cheats. Bus conductors crooks. Petrol attendants horrible. Drugs fake. Building materials fake. Everywhere wayo and they are happy to live that way. Eggs are boiled with bleaching materials and sold on the roads. Fufu is added something to make it swell. The same as elubo. Wayo all round. School children yahoo everywhere. Who go save this country?

Wait, eggs are boiled with bleaching materials? Is that supposed to speed up the cooking time or what exactly does bleach does?

When I eat out, I usually prefer to buy eggs cos it’s safer than meat to me but this your comment on bleaching eggs is shocking to me.

Parachoko:
Why are some people asking this kind of Question?

The more money the States, LG and FG is getting, where's it coming from?

Were the LG, States and FG not getting money when subsidies were paid?

And pls don’t bring the “they get more allocations now” talk.

Nigerian politicians at least 70% of them go into politics to enrich themselves.

If you truly went to serve the country and people even as a wealthy man, you are supposed to temporarily resign your position and face public service squarely, that’s what the law says.

Gotocourt:
Obviously stepbrothers, because I just don't understand. Abi Bello doesn't assist the family while their father is in custody 🤷‍♂️.

Funnily, they’re from the same mother.

lanre316:
Family of 6 are living fine on 300,000k salary and still saving sef. They buy food and other things in bulk and they cook. They are not wasteful and buying food from canteens everyday

People without money management skills will still complain and whine even if you give them 20m to per month.

Family of 6 can’t live “fine” and save on 300k salary.

A crate of egg is 6k, a family of 6 will finish a crate of egg in just few days. They’ll finish a pot of soup in 3 or 2 days.

7k beef decently cut won’t be more than 12 pcs, if decided to cut smaller can’t be more than 15 pcs.

Fish itself is expensive. Titus fish used to be very affordable before it now costs as high as 12k for a kilogram, kote, shawa etc are also expensive. These were fishes that were cheap and eaten by everyone before. I’m not even going to go to fresh fish like barracuda, tilapia and others. Those are more expensive and are not eaten by the average person.

We’re buying a liter of petrol for 1500 Naira.

Our two largest denomination of currencies can buy just 1 liter of petrol.

APC and Bulaba, is this progressive?

Na wa o. Na Atiku una Dey disrespect like this?

Toor.

Penguin2:
He didn’t get 25% of votes in Lagos 2023, what will give it to him now?

Let’s wait and see if this is 2023.

AndroBlaze:

So it is a man that became rich through customs and has not run any successful company beside pillaging Nigeria that will now improve the economy and reduce cost of living abi?

A man that is resident in Dubai 300 days out of 365 abi....you are only deceiving those who believe in fairytales

How did Tinubu get rich?

Remember, he said he came back from exile broke.

Lifediary:
Nigerians are now so intellectually bankrupt that important questions can't be asked again.

Who is paying for this vacation?

The government is quick to site "best global practices" when it favours them.

The presidents of many of these so-called best global practices don't leave their countries for vacation... USA, France, ... Those that leave their countries fund their feeding, lodging and co. The government may only pay for the jet fuel and securities attached to the president... which the citizens are even still complaining about.

So, the big question is: what is our president paying for when he goes for vacation?

Nigerians, wake up!!!

A large population of Nigerians are defeated. What most of them seek is money to better their own lives.

They will never ask questions and when someone else does, they tagged him as novice. They even say “that’s how Nigeria is”.

ironheart:
Hope he has properly handed over to shettima as recommended

Someone that doesn’t trust his shadow will handover?

LOL.

When Fashola successfully banned these cart pushers, he ensured the alternative (compact trucks) from LAWMA were available and reached everywhere.

You on the other hand haven’t provided any alternative but are quick to issue bans and warnings.

For your information and I know you are aware, those that dump refuse on median do so because it has been a long standing order since Fashola days for citizens to put their refuse by the medians for lawma to pick up.

This guys just wants his people to vote Tinubu by all means.

You should know your own people better. They won’t.

NinjaMetahuman:
what the contractor did is not defaulting but pure fraud.
He defrauded federal government.

Defaulting on a contract involves two parties promising to do something, and one party deciding not to fulfill their obligation without any money or money-related issues being involved. For example, you sign a contract with a football club to join them on a free transfer. Then, you default and decide to join another club. The club can sue you in a civil case for compensation.

you don't sue someone that defrauded you. Fraud is a criminal offense. You arrest criminals and charge them to court.

If you pay your bricklayer to build house for you, and the bricklayer decided to abscond with your money. That's a crime, not a civil case.

Suing is for a civil case, trial is for criminal case.

Hope you have learnt something .

You don’t have any power to arrest anyone. What you do is report to the appropriate authorities with proof of what you accuse, they investigate and do their job accordingly.

Our country has been so screwed for long that illegality has become normal and it shouldn’t be.

Before Hushpuppi was arrested, investigations had been ongoing for months and court gave the go ahead for his arrest by the FBI and the interpol. They didn’t just arrest him and started investigations, that would have been against the law and they can be sued.

Get the difference.

If lies travel for 20 years, it takes just one day for the truth to catch up with it. Yoruba adage.

Penguin2:
Okay, so, Atiku got about 800k votes in 2023 and has now lost about 80% of that number and is also not sure of 25% in any southern state, not even in Rivers where his running mate is from.

What that means is that automatically Atiku is only sure of 25% of votes cast from 19 states of the north. So, even if the north votes for him en masse and helps him win simple majority, he will still fall short of spread.

But then again, can Atiku see 25% of votes cast in Plateau, Benue and Kwara?

Atiku will get 25% in Lagos, Osun and Rivers to say the least.

AndroBlaze:
I just can't wait for the South to send Atiku a clear message, that "No One is Born to Rule"....imagine, if he wins there would have been THREE muslim Fulani Presidents from a so called heterogeneous North

You want the South to send a clear message, what do you want the north to do?

Remember there’s no united South.

Azazyel:
You're so funny honestly. They're actually everywhere in Anambra state even in afigwe where I was recently. If you are tired of Lagos system then relocate to Anambra state. Life is not hard. Don't fight a system you know you can't leave behind

If I’m tired of my biological state of origin? Be like you think say everyone that speaks of the ills in Lagos is an outsider or foreigner.

I have much more stake in Lagos than most of you shouting leave Lagos. My forefathers built and left behind legacies and properties.

Agberoism in Lagos was amplified by a Bulaba and that’s because he’s not a Lagos born.

Do you not know of the popular slang that says
“Jeje ni Omo Eko nlo”?

Remember they said subsidy on diesel had been removed since 2003 by Obj. Still in 2023 diesel still sold for 200 Naira a liter.

In just 3 years of Bulaba that same diesel now sells for 1900 a liter.

Adugbocrier:
Our people are quick to forget that under the past regimes with defence of Naira, there was a thriving black market that made the rich and connected to get richer while the industries that needed FX didn’t get access. There was product ( gasoline and jet fuel) scarcity every quarter, NNPC is still owing importers since 2022/2023 for the under recovery and product imports. ASUU strikes could almost be predicted and likely guaranteed. Do with it what you may, this country is waxing strong, a little patience and constructive criticism of this current government will do us all a world of good.

Forex racketeering happened only under Buhari.

LegendHero:
You need to improve macro economics first and when in the middle of reforms, the micro side is always like that and people feel pain.

We are setting the foundation now so that anything you build on it will be scientific and stable.

What then was Buhari setting for 8 years?

allthingsgood:
Na you go tire
Election after election blaming every President after the other. Yet nothing chances. So U remove Tinubu what next Nigeria will suddenly become peaceful abi. U guys should wake up!

The goal for now is remove Tinubu.

Nigeria simply doesn’t have the power to pull such negotiations.

China and North Korea you mentioned are powerhouses. They also gat nukes.

Azazyel:
You lie too much. I've been to Anambra state and I can tell you that those their agbero boys there are very brutal. Infact, at onitsha Park if you as a passenger carry load, you have to pay for it. On alighting from the bus with your load, they'll harass you and you have no option than to pay. I saw them beating a young lady and they tore her bag because she didn't pay money for her load that she brought down from the traveling bus. If you carry load inside Keke, they would stop the Keke and bill you the passenger for that load. The only thing that can save you there is if you have your own car. They copied the Lagos agbero model and took their own to the extreme. So please don't lie to people here. We're not children. I don't know about other SE states but this Anambra own, I'm sure of it

From what you listed above, their Agbero level is very very low leveled compared to that of Lagos.

You only narrowed them down to one place Onitsha. They’re in all 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs in Lagos and they have government backings. They’re even have LG id cards

That was quick. Kudos to the armed forces.

“Where are the cows”

“Yoruba and Fulani are one”

It seems the maths for Niger is confusing you, Okpebholo1.

Don’t worry, let the people lied to decide at the polls which of the liars they’ll vote.

Cos all of you are liars. APC no suppose even Dey point accusing fingers.

You think because you have money, you can control people?

God go catch you na manipulative man you go marry. Your money would be useless in such situation.
