Ahmed4002: We never had the processing self made leaders, Nigerian Politics is still under colonialism from the previous leaders.
So it would still be a recycle of corrupt practices, god fatherism
Who is Tinubu’s godfather nah? Shey na Olusegun Obasanjo wey Tinubu don dey weep since 2003 or Buhari wey Tinubu tell at the market square say “Aboki, na me make you President, and whether you like it or not, ma me be next President “?
Gov Abba Yusuf in this video is seen leaving his official chair for his predecessor, Senator Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso to sit on.
This is coming amidst rumors in some quarters that both Kwankwaso and Gov Yusuf are having some Political rifts.
Gov Yusuf is the godson of former Gov Kwankwaso in Kano State.
Watch the video.
Yusuf is not just the godson of Rabiu Kwashiorkor, Yusuf is married to one of Rabiu Kwashiorkor’s many daughters, so Yusuf is Rabiu Kwashiorkor’s son-in-law. Yet idiots and nincompoops are complaining about Tinubu’s family members who are not even holding any political position
Shame on you guys who keeps boring us in this forum with Reno omokri rubbish. I go soon leave this forum since sanity has left
If you are here on Nairaland and you keep threatening yourself that you will leave without you leaving, and you are not held down at gun point, then you need psychiatric evaluation
coputa: Why Waziri Atiku Abubakar Should Cut President Bola Tinubu Some Slack
Yesterday, Waziri Atiku Abubakar, in a critique of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's leadership, made several statements that perhaps were not an accurate reflection of the situation we now find ourselves in as a country.
Firstly, I supported, campaigned for and believed in the candidacy of Waziri Atiku Abubakar. However, the election was not stolen from him or the Nigerian public by either the Independent National Electoral Commission or the All Progressives Congress.
It would have been hard for us in the Peoples Democratic Party to win the 2023 Presidential election.
And the reasons for my assertion are logical.
If, as a united political party, the PDP could not defeat the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 despite our best efforts, how could we have vanquished them in 2023 when we were disunited?
We had 11,262,978 votes in 2019. By 2022, Peter Obi had left us with the 1,693,485 votes we got in the Southeast. Then the G-5 Governors, namely, Nyesom Wike (Rivers state), Seyi Makinde (Oyo state), Samuel Ortom (Benue state), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia state) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu State), departed and ended whatever hopes we had of getting at least 25% of the votes cast in their states.
Then we lost the other strongman of Kano politics (Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso) with his two million votes. And the second strongman, then Governor Ganduje, was with Tinubu.
So, while Tinubu was adding, we were subtracting.
If you minus the Southeast votes, Kano votes, and Oyo, Benue and Rivers, you will see that it roughly equals the 6,984,520 votes polled by Waziri Atiku Abubakar in 2023.
We in the PDP were not rigged out, nor was the election stolen from us. Rather, we were defeated by the disunity in our party.
It was for the same reason we lost the 2015 election when the PDP split into PDP and n-PDP, with the n-PDP and its four Governors eventually merging with the APC along with Kwankwaso.
2023 was just a replay of 2015. History did not repeat itself. We rather repeated history.
On the economic front, I supported Waziri Atiku Abubakar because he promised to do three cardinal things to redirect Nigeria's economy in the right direction. These are:
Fuel subsidy removal Floating the Naira, and Devolution of power
President Bola Tinubu is now doing all three of these. We in the PDP should be pleased.
Let me address some alternative policies that Waziri Atiku Abubakar proposed.
Waziri Abubakar said he would have taken a gradual approach and would not have been as drastic as President Tinubu had been.
Given the reality of what the Tinubu administration inherited from the Buhari regime, I do not know if that would have been possible.
Have we forgotten so soon that the Buhari administration illegally borrowed ₦50 trillion through ways and means and depleted our foreign reserves, leaving behind more debt than all past governments combined?
The Buhari regime claimed they left a foreign reserve of $37.08 billion, only for JP Morgan, our reserve bankers, to publish a letter stating that they lied and our reserves were actually just $3.7 billion. The fallout of this is that Buhari's Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria panicked and was arrested as he tried to flee Nigeria.
Faced with these realities, how would any responsible government have carried on spending $1 billion monthly on fuel subsidy and another $1.5 billion monthly defending the Naira and a further $300 million monthly subsidising electricity while servicing a total debt of almost $100 billion racked up by the previous administration with 92% of our revenue as at the end of Buhari's tenure? Please fact-check me.
This is even as the Buhari government had sold future contracts for Nigeria's crude oil, meaning that almost nothing was coming into the treasury for the first six months of the Tinubu administration.
Let us be realistic.
On February 26, 2024, Waziri Atiku Abubakar said President Bola Tinubu should learn from the Argentine President, Javier Milei, and implement his reforms like Milei handled his.
Waziri had said:
"Both leaders inherited a disoriented economy, but both applied different measures for recovery. President Javier Milei of Argentina was sworn into office on 10 December 2023. He inherited a worse condition than Nigeria’s. But what he did to return his country to a place where investors are ‘starting to believe’ should serve as a lesson to Nigeria’s Bola Tinubu.”
Interestingly, on Friday, September 27, 2024, the world's preeminent financial and economic medium, The Financial Times, in a headline 'Argentina’s poverty rate soars above 50% under Javier Milei' revealed that rather than praise, the Argentine leader is receiving knocks, as his reforms are not achieving the desired results.
Poverty in Argentina is at its worst rate ever at 57%, and, according to FT, "136,000 jobs have been wiped out since Milei took office."
Additionally, according to the International Monetary Fund, Argentina is now officially in recession as its economy has contracted by 3.5% in the last quarter and inflation hit a world record of 236.7%.
In contrast, Nigeria under Tinubu has experienced two quarters of unprecedented trade surpluses, and at the end of August 2024 had a record breaking ₦14.6 trillion trade surplus and a GDP growth of almost 3%, as Nigeria now exports more than she imports. Inflation had been tamed and minimum wage has been increased.
Next month, for the first time since Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi abrogated true federalism with his Unification of Assets Decree Number 34 on May 24, 1966, Local Governments will receive their funding directly due to the Tinubu administration's judicial victory at the Supreme Court on Thursday, July 11, 2024, granting autonomy to local governments.
Our foreign reserves hit a record of $40.2 billion because we no longer indulge in the politically popular but economically unreasonable act of defending the Naira with $1.5 billion each month.
Now, imagine if President Tinubu had taken that February 26, 2024 advice from Waziri Atiku Abubakar to copy what Milei did, where would Nigeria be?
That alone shows that President Tinubu's judgment is much better than Waziri Atiku Abubakar is giving him credit for, and it should be Javier Milei who ought to learn from Nigeria's Tinubu, not vice versa!

Reno Omo Kirikiri should be the government’s official spokesperson
mrvitalis: Why I am happy that those minors charged with treason have be released and allowed to go home...But this has exposed the fact that Tinubu lead administration have intentionally prolonged Nnamdi kanus case
Not that it matters because I don't see any case what so ever FB have against Kanu as the little case they have they messed up by kidnapping him
But for People who like to change History, people who like Propaganda
This would be a reminder for future generations... Tinubu a Yoruba man lead government, intentionally refused to allow Political solution to Kanu case
Not tomorrow when Kanu wins the narrative would change... Let this be a reminder for the future Igbo generations
Not a reminder for future generations, future generations will still meet Nnamdi Kanu in prison
Kenneth4u205: Hope someone is not planning to replicate this in Nigeria with TINUBU wife ?
Reno Omo Kirikiri will soon bring out evidence to prove the story of the Gorilla that once slept with one woman inside the forest which lead to the birth of a particular set of people
Kingpele: Nepotism at it's peak...this is how he assembled merely incompetent yorubas in key sectors of the economy and the economy collapsed...a sensible man will chose merit over tribe but not Tpain because he's too old to understand the consequences of nepotism..is this man the most senior officer to replace the illing COAS
Cry well well, after crying, go and drink Hero Beer produced in Bitter Obi’s brewery which he used Anambra’s money to buy majority shares in for himself
Justiceleague1: Politicians are really ain't treating the military right in this naija...this means his superiors were retired or what? Professionals spend years grinding only for one illiterate politician to scuffle their efforts in the name of whatever like Buhari did to Onnoghen...
doublechief96: Security agencies are neutral trying to secure lives and properties if it were in Nigeria M.C oluomo and police will conive to opperess voters and Tinubu would have told them to grab it snatched it and run away.
Ordinary election rigging, they can’t do well. Come, let us teach you how Nyezom Wike wrote 1.4 Million votes for Goatluck Jonathan in 2015, even the VC of University of Port Harcourt who was asked to present the result could not pronounce it
kettykin: What if the hotels crash their prizes use solar panels to power operations in the day time, employ robots to do routine tasks like check in , room service, room cleaning etc and offer other incentives to encourage patronage.
You shaaa want to continue this your fornication and adultery at all cost. I am with you my brethren
Hemanwel: Firstly, I want to say this is a good move by LAMATA. But, I am hoping this is not an audio compensation, where they announce to the whole world that people have been compensated when, in reality, nobody see shishi.
Secondly, about building more bus-stops or lay-bys: isn't it high-time the LASG stopped this already? The previous ones that have been built have served no other purpose than a home or resting bay for destitutes and street urchins.
LASG should come up with more creativity
If you post your name and address here, I will make sure that you are deported to your village within the next 24 hours
NaijaCowFarm: The stupidity of Nigerians is so heavy that nothing can rival it.
Just imagine the Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan organizing a prayer session to end hunger in China.
Nigerians, especially the tribalitic tribe lack common sense, no wonder a drug lord and certificate forger is their preferred choice.
Okay, if you say Yorubas lack common sense, what do your parents lack? Definitely the beings that gave birth to something like you lack something, no be for my mouth you go hear. Go and do DNA, I suspect it’s not human sperm that produced you.
Jostoman: If Baba like let him Change the whole Nigeria
2027 is Baba.T vs Nigerians.
And he will humiliate you all again. Even when you all ganged up against him in 2023 together with Buhari, Osinbajo and CBN vagabond Emefielelele, BAT and the BATists still disgraced you all
