Tinubu is highly unpopular in the South West. He doesn’t have the entire region on lockdown.

He’s no Buhari or Peter Obi that are sure of getting bloc votes from their regions.

Tinubu is a goner next year. Many people from the southwest won’t vote him.

jericco1:
The precedent Tinubu is setting if an opposition should win the coming election... They should all run away because they will be a massive witch-hunt

I would be very happy to see these APC and Tinubu boys hunted and prosecuted.

Kingosytex:
Wike is brutal and would do anything possible for the reelection of Tinubu. Tinubu isn't the type of man that would give way to a free and fair election, his mantra is 'Snatch it and run with it'

Funny enough, Wike has same mentality. The opposition should give it up already as 2027 is gone.

All he can do can’t and won’t pass his Rivers state. They have tried to disqualify other parties by using the courts but they saw that would have backfired heavily on them.

Next is to try to use state power, but rigging can only be achieved where you’re popular. Wike cannot and dare not go to another state and say rubbish, he’ll he put in place.

2027 is almost here and Wike will learn the difference between people’s will and a wanna be dictator he so wants to become.

He’ll be more than humbled.

Guestlander:
The corruption is part and parcel of the subsidy regime. Bring it back and see disinvestment in the petroleum sector.
The profiteers, the smugglers, all of them will move in once again and then it's back to square one.
A part of me wants to be see this if only to say we told you so.

Aren’t there corruption in the sharing system Tinubu is doing with the “subsidy savings”?

Face the problem which is corruption and don’t fo the easy way out; suffering the people.

Yet some governors are saying “We receive more money”.

Terrible Tinubu.

Subsidy just has to come back.

Nigeria’s economy is largely dependent on fuel. We power our homes, businesses and factories with petrol and diesel.

Unless electricity is fixed 100%, then subsidy on fuel should not be removed.

Tinubu never bothered to think of this or he just rather felt he was bold and courageous.

Subsidy is not bad.

Atiku has said he’ll introduce it at the manufacturing level. I’ll support that. I’ve never been against subsidy.

Fight the corruption in it, don’t punish all Nigerians for it.

The advantages still far outweigh the disadvantages.

Lithiumite:
Only for items the need not what they want......nigeria used car market place has seen a boom because imported ones became more expensive,thats keeping capital within Rather than dashing it out to you the rich to go buying subsidised usd to keep importing scrap.

Are car parts also made within?

Also where’s the local car sales boom?

You guys do actually leave your reasoning to defend nonsense.

Used car market is booming indeed.

GerogeI:
Bro, that's even generous its actually 11.8 million USD vs Buhari's 10 million USD. And you have not accounted for the usual 3% annual inflation in USD especially with US at war. That's almost 19% inflation between 2020 and today. Meaning Buhari's 10 million USD 2020 is now worth 11.940 million USD 2026
There is absolutely no increase in the allocation, merely currency devaluation.


That's the kind of financially illiterate Governors you have in Nigeria. Another Monday Okpooblo claiming genius.

Bro, I tire for them. I love your person text on your profile.

Cracked me the hell up.

Lithiumite:
Its you and your fellow haters that were buying for 2k,you wished it but failed and he stabilised it at 1,300 to 1,400.......you rather we keep borrowing to defend the naira to the tune of $1b monthly so you can keep importing champagnes and luxury items.

The poor have never seen usd all their lives and don't trade in it but its the rich that keeps enjoying these subsidies.

You would as expected side step the results of the devaluation, we have had successive quatmrterly trade surpluses since 2nd quarter 25,increased foreign reserves and easing inflation but you would all these to push your puerile narrative to achieve your infantile aim of derailing the govt.

The poor buy products that were imported with usd by “people like us” so they must feel it.

seunmsg:
You are such a terrible and dishonest human being. On the day Buhari handed over, exchange rate was $1=N760. So, how is N4,500,000,000/760 = $10m. Don't you guys have any conscience at all? All this just to help an incompetent Peter Obi become president? Smh.

760 was official exchange rate?

Exchange rate under Buhari was 450 to a dollar officially. That’s what I used.

Under Tinubu now it’s 1350 as quoted by CBN. In the black market it’s more than 1350.

So where’s the dishonesty? I even calculated the 16bn using 1300 to a dollar.

BATified2023:
do u know the meaning of logistics n do u know how much goods are transported per year using trucks?

I don't even need to explain to someone like u cos all u believe in is price of rice n price of beans.


If the coastal road is finished, the next best thing is to do a coastal train line n u will see economic boast in all aspects of Nigeria but u lots don't care once it's not talking about rice n beans.

I am into logistics n I know what the coastal road will do for me moving goods from south to west n vice versa

What were they using to transport goods before the coastal road?

Mind you that road isn’t even complete yet and it’s useless.

Lithiumite:
You guys keep erroneously turning logic on its head.....that's extra $2m monthly,that's $24m extra per annum.....let's even agree with you for the sake of argument that these figures are marginal......states don't access fx at the cbn rates,the dollar wasn't available anywhere at that rate..... The parallel market rate as @ 2022 was 800 naira to a dollar,do ur 4.5 billion under buhari was $5.6m.

So Buhari became president in 2022?

What was exchange rate from 2015 to 2023.

You guys are impossible.

You’re surprised that despite how bad Buhari administration was, Tinubu’s is ten times worse. And you guys are blaming the rubbish of Tinubu on Buhari?

Let’s assume exchange rate was 800, Tinubu pushed it as high as 2000 in his first few months and now sits at 1300. That’s still over 60% increase from what Buhari left it.

Una sure say that body is his?

In short he snitched on his members to get freedom.

He threw them under the bus. Typical Amoda.

Napata77:
Don't be ridiculous. That coastal highway will open up trillions of naira in business.

The real fraud was that 2nd Niger bridge if you ask me. Because till today, nobody has explained what exactly was wrong with the 1st Niger Bridge that they had to build a second one next to it.

That coastal road is not opening any trillions of business.

If you’re asked to explain now you’ll start saying gibberish.

DeepSight:
Settle down.

You earn N10 monthly.

Cost of goods and services you need monthly is N10.

Okay?

Then something happens.

You start to earn N50 monthly.

But cost of goods and services you need is now N100.

Are you richer or poorer?

Mind you, you may be able to pay your domestics better and have even more domestics.

But overall, are you richer or poorer?

Think about this analogy not only for the states but for the common man.

You shouldn’t have bothered explaining to people that are either stone deaf or plain ignorant.

He’s working for his paycheck.

Vision101:
What he kept saying is that the country was heading to a halt. If states couldn't meet their needs and federal was printing money to pay ordinary salaries, airlines were refusing to sell tickets to Nigerians because of backlog of unremited money, NNPC complaining that they could not cover up subsidies anymore, the country was using unproduced crude oil to borrow money, my question will be where is a country?

You guys didn't know how deep we had fallen before he rescued the country.

Yet the first thing he did was to buy a new presidential plane, fleet of cars and a yacht all under a year?

You may be deceived, but not all Nigerians are worshippers of politicians.

Napata77:
We are not in America, Mr Man.

We don't pay for everything we do in dollars, so take that nonsense away.

Many of these projects are being paid for in Naira to indigenous contractors.

ALSO, in addition to the standard monthly allocation, the FG distributed a special ₦435 billion infrastructure and security intervention fund to state governments during the first half of 2026 alone to support state projects.

The vastly increased number and scale of infrastructural projects in all the states is clear evidence of VASTLY INCREASED allocation from Abuja, so go and sit down with this your fake calculation. The FG is PUMPING the states with money to build up their infrastructure.

Okay.

Let’s pretend inflation didn’t go as high as 200% since 2023.

Let’s pretend what 4.5bn could buy in 2022, 16bn can buy now.

Keep living in delusion.

That was why Obj insulted you on your birthday.

4.5bn under Buhari was $10,000,000

16bn under Tinubu is $11,851,852

That’s less than $1M increase.

I used official exchange rates.

HacheNoire:
Look at what is coming out of what Lagosians want to vote for next!

See finish!

He knows Lagosians are dumb and will still vote for him irrespective

That’s why they don’t invest in education. A educated society is a threat to them.

Smashed it in their face knowing fully welll they cannot reason.

Ehn Ehn. But you are always everywhere screaming “Asiwaju” “Tinubu”.

Isn’t Tinubu part of the failures that governed Lagos for almost 30 years and didn’t address housing issues?

sleeknaija:
I'm having the same thought too. I have watched 2 of his recent interviews and to be frank I'm not impressed.

I remember having a conversation with a lady some months back about the next governor of Lagos. I made it clear that what is it that Hamzat wants to come and do that he hasn’t done before?

He worked with Tinubu, Fashola and a two term deputy governor. Why can’t he give the “brilliant” ideas he has to those he served?

She kept saying he has experience, that others can’t handle Lagos.

I just kept quiet and let her have her say.

LCDAs are the biggest scam to ever grace Lagos politics.

Of the 37 LCDAs barely 6 are doing all you mentioned.

I want an FG and state government in Lagos that will scrap them and return Lagos back to the original 20 LGAs.

After over two decades, I can’t point to one thing other than empowering politicians that the so called LCDAS have achieved.

They’re definitely ratting themselves out.

Atiku Abubakar, I have just one request and favor from you.

Ensure you squeeze every penny out of Wike when you became president.

Don’t play mature politics, go after him with all the power of the president.

This one go worse pass Sanwo Olu if we Lagosians allow him in.

I watched the interviews and I was like is this the Hamzat touted as smart?

Fake certificate

Fake schools

Fake name

Not surprised it’s easy to fake agencies under his administration.

Since Atiku made the fuel subsidy return statement, Tinubu and his data boys have been on overdrive.

Subsidy must be returned.

Lithiumite:
Nonsense propaganda to keep deceiving their gaullible followers.......make a policy statement make it public and let people compare with what the govt is offering......debate with who? It behoves on you to come and depend your what you have promised......how did atiku in 2023 that was going to remove subsidy make a 360 in 3 yeras to say he is bringing subsidy back.

No sensible person will support a man as flippant as atiku,ibibis even worse!!

So those of you who supported Tinubu’s removal of subsidy after he was against it in 2012 are senseless?
