I'm just saying we are both powerless. So why not select battles wisely and stick to calling out things that actually matter rather than waste time on irrelevancies.
This is how distraction works. They let us get carried away with things that don't matter and we lose focus of things that are actually affecting us and our development as a people.
erad: Agreed, I'm choosing to sit back and do nothing about it because nothing I do will change anything. If I'll disturb myself, it'll be on something actually tangible and worth it. Not some governors deciding to see the president of their country off to the airport on vacation. Have you guys even considered maybe they came for some last minute meeting and just used to opportunity to see him off to the airport?
But I believe you have more influence than me and can actually effect some changes. Please go ahead. Like I said, it's just my opinion.
Lol! What do you mean by having more influence.... That's totally out of it.
You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. But if e pain you reach that one, go and flog them back to their states.
Should I really have to treat them like children and use a cane on them? Shouldn't they be mature enough to know that these kinds of photo ops are pointless? And as a follower, should you just sit back and watch as governance is made a mockery?
erad: Lol... Una leave serious issues dey pursue nonsense.
I always say it, Nigerians are not ready. What is this for Christ's sake?
This stupid mentality that someone has to be physically present somewhere to do their job especially a president and governors is just stupid. All they do is approve and disapprove most times which they can do from anywhere. Why do you think so much is spent on special advisers, ministers, etc? Why do they have deputies?
Play opposition with sense. If no governor was there, the same you people would come and say governors have rejected him. Pick an argument and stick with it.
If these things are not protocol, do you think they'll do it. Every country with its own protocols. It has happened under almost every president, why is it a problem now? You go look for irrelevant things and make them issues. Unfortunately, social media is filled with empty brains so they also focus on it.
And you wonder why your government doesn't take you seriously? They never will with how you all keep focusing on stupidity.
The country isn't making progress, and people like you are to blame. Calling the lineup of governors to wave at a departing president "protocol" shows a serious lack of understanding what protocol is. You remind me of the folklore The Emperor's New Clothes.... Sycophants everywhere
Brendaniel: And if it never trickles down to the man on the street what then happens?
Just like with Buhari's 'wasted' eight years, they'll attribute his failures to governors, ministers, or the 'cabal'. The real issue, as he pointed out, isn't a lack of policy, it's a lack of will and empathy to get results to the common person.
JackDaAlienz: I think Transgender people are highly evolved Humans are constantly evolving From Ape to Homo erectus to Transgender to the point humans will elvove into 4th dimension and AI .
We are constantly evolving and transgender is proof that humans in the next 100 years will be 80% transgender and we will no longer have make and female. We will have 1 gender 1 consciousness no boundary's no country all humans will use 1 currency all countries will become 1.
That is where the future is heading That's human evolution for youan evolved being is what you call mental disorder If your 3rd eye is open and you are able to see other dimensions apart from the physical
The will call that person a mad man.
Our nervous system only allow us to see hear and touch with only 5 senses.
When your 3rd eye opens your other hidden senses are opened. From 5 senses now your 6 th 7th 8th sense has been opened and you begin to see things that the physical eyes can't see.
Because we are restricted to 5 senses When you unlock the other 6,7,8 senses you have an overload of information which is what humans call madness.
That is why mental hospital are filled with mathematical geniuses and people who ser other dimensions that our 5 senses can't see
When you see a mad man talking to somebody but you cant see the person because you are only restricted to your 5 senses. The mad mañ 6,7,8 srnses can see beyond our 3rd dimensions.
As we elvove so will our nervous system and more senses will be unlocked and we will become one consciousness one gender no more sepreatio by gender, race or country..
We will all become ONE with the divine That is where the future is heading No religion No man No culture can stop it
No need for the other senses, the 5 senses is enough for a normal person.... Pls
heracles1: My friend told me that, the school he is teaching, are looking for a physics teacher and he wants me to help him ask around, because since when the physics teacher in that school resigns, it has been months and still they have not found his replacement.
I asked him how much the school pays so that when I ask around I will tell the person everything, and my friend told me that the school will pay 85k per month.
I graduated from uni since 2019 and I have never done any kind of job, and this my friend is asking me to help him look for someone for his school to employ, I was suprised but I didnt say anything to him, after 3days I told him that I have gotten someone for the job and he told me to tell the guy to come to the school with his CV for interview. I didnt tell my friend that I will be the guy. Today in the morning, I prepared and went to the school with my CV, on getting there I called my friend and he came and ask me where is the person, I told him its me, He said to me, why will you come for the interview while you know you cant teach physics, I told him in this era of AI, I can teach any subject.
All I want from him is to cover for me and never tell the principal that I did not study physics in school, he said no he cant do that for me.
I am very angry and want to cut ties with that friend of mine forever.
I'm concerned about your friend, how did you guys end up as friends? Seriously! You don't have teaching experience, work experience - imagine? or an education certificate. You are not concerned about your friend's job because surely you would be found to be a sham! You are just after the 85k...
Exousiang01: Oga stop displaying your ignorance. The US is one of the most indented countries in the world, their debt is in trillions of dollars not even billions.
It is you that is ignorant, when posting in a forum, it's important to be confident in your information to maintain credibility and not to sound as a sycophant. Unlike the debt of many developing nations, the majority of U.S. debt is domestic. It's owed to its own institutions, such as the Federal Reserve, mutual funds, banks, state and local governments, and pension funds.
OnionBandit: Any unruly passenger arrested on plane or in the airport going forward is on their own. The last that will enjoy the sympathy of Nigerians is comfort..,and If you observe, you will notice that she only won the hearts of millions after those wonderful melons were made bare.
You are so right.... Till now those bwess, I still see them whenever I think of Ibom Air.
fuckingAyaya: to spill which beans? After whining and dining with the devil you want to spill the beans, you don't know that Nigerian politicians are answerable to Lucifer himself. Tell Fubara to resign and spill the beans about the shenanigans they did in the last general election in Rivers state and see if he won't pay with his llfe. These wicked rulers derive joy in seeing the masses bleed and suffer and yet some people are out to defend them, you think it's with clear eyes?
Just on point...When the Devil asks you to dance you better say never, cuz a dance with the devil might last you forever.
Zocalite: It has been a long time I read a highly articulated comment like this to those petty people
But how can they be guide, people that fun in the suffering of others
Exactly! It seems that blind loyalty is now more common than genuine critique. We've moved away from a time when we could praise and criticize the government objectively. Today, voicing a complaint about hardship gets you branded as an "Obidient," an "Atiku Supporter," or a "sore loser." The poor masses don't care about politics; they simply want to secure the basic necessities of life.
aylipple: Most won't understand the direction Bishop Kukah is coming from.
For the first time in a very long time, his people (the Southern Kaduna people) have not been subjected to killing sprees by the Fulani jihadists or destruction of their farmlands and raping of their women.
For the first time in a very very long time, Southern Kaduna people have secured the attention of the FG in terms of healthcare (for the first time ever, they now have a FMC), education (for the first time ever, they now have a federal university headed by one of their own, Prof. (Arc) Barnabas Qurix) , appointments (notably, CDS Chris Musa) and so on....
Even if the entire Nigeria says the current admin (at both state and FG level) has done nothing for them, no sane person of Southern Kaduna descent will re-echo such a claim because they've never had it so good like they're currently having it thanks to Gov. Uba Sani & President Bola Tinubu.
So, yeah, Bishop Kukah won't sit down for a TV interview where anyone would say they can't see anything good about this admin & he'll keep quiet. No way!
Even with the brutality of General Abacha's regime, we can acknowledge that some positive things happened. The Reverend's point about significant improvements in Kaduna is valid. However, while Kaduna may have improved, security has deteriorated in places like Benue and other states. Should we celebrate these isolated gains when we need to push for more until our major problems are solved?
BISHOP KUKAH JUST BETRAYED NIGERIANS, BETRAYED HIMSELF AND BETRAYED GOD! how are the mighty fallen thought kukah was immuned to the nigerian virus thought kukah was different LAS LAS BISHOP KUKAH COMPROMISED AND FELL WITHOUT RESISTANCE
IMAGINE KUKAH ATTACK OSENI RUFAI, A VIBRANT NIGERIAN YOUTH NOT TO FIGHT FOR A BETTER NIGERIA.
ANYWAY, THIS IS THE TIME OF THE RUFAI OSENIS... THE ERA OF KUKAH HAS PASSED
Even though the Reverend's comments were objective and direct, they shouldn't be seen as an act of betrayal. Just because Oseni is an objective journalist doesn't mean he's always right. No one is perfect, and the Reverend's role in the discussion was to provide a different perspective, which doesn't undermine either of them. The goal of debate and criticism should be to encourage improvement, not to express hatred or condemnation. If Oseni believes there has been no improvement in the current government, it's up to supporters to provide evidence that proves him wrong
Ttalk: Security: Before now you can't travel by road from Abuja to Kaduna as bandit will attack you either in train or by road transport, today high profile personality stroll along that corridor.
There used to be bomb blast in ThisDay office, US Embassy, Madalla Cathedral and Yanyan bus stop but today check point has reduced yet bombing have been subdued so also herdsmen clashes with farmers have grossly reduced New Job- Unless you not living in Nigeria that the info tech industry have had a new turned, gone are the days when you have to assemble all sort of machinery to make money, today smart money are easily made because of the improved internet facility
Health- Many Nigerian now have confidence in our local hospital as many life threatening diseases can now be threat in government hospitals, you don't have to travel to Indian for Kidney and heart related ailment
Education. In your lifetime, this is the period where government give indigent student loan to complete their education, there's no excuse for student going to school. First in Nigeria history, Technical school are now free and they even receive stipend for going to school. This has never happened in the history of Nigeria as a Federation
Manufacturing: The exchange rate difference is a motivation for a serious mind to produce, if you are industrious you will appreciate this government
Export: There's never been time before now where exportis taken seriously. Maybe you don't know that for 2 quarters our balance of trade is in surplus meaning our export surpass our import. In agriculture, cocoa, ginger, cashew has received boast with exportation
If you can't see any of these opportunities that abound I will leave you to continue with your complaints and negative energy
It's ironic how you listed major problems but then only highlighted a few, conveniently skipping others. It's pathetic that you ignored the rising food prices. You also highlighted a positive in national security while completely ignoring the recent killings in Benue, for which no arrests have been made. It's obvious you're benefiting from the suffering of the masses, so nothing anyone says will change your mind.
rm94: Some Nigerians are just so stupid and senseless. Just look at almost all the comments above throwing spanners into the wheels of this nation. I don't like tinubu but he is telling the investors what they want to hear. He is marketing Nigeria so that they can bring their foreign currencies and investments. Or you all think you do marketing by telling the truth. Just imagine that the Brazilian investor stumbles upon this page, he won't bring a kobo to us anymore. Then you hop on a plane and fly abroad and disrespected because of your demarketing. You will start shouting that nigeria has happened to you, not knowing that you are the one happening to nigeria with your senseless and myopic posts. Shame on you all.
I haven't seen such an insulting and shallow comment in a long time. Is this your idea of marketing? Investors need data, not baseless claims from an out-of-touch president. It's a truly embarrassing ATTEMPT.
Where are the supporters who claim these policies are successful? If Nigeria has truly made progress against corruption, shouldn't a neutral body like Transparency International be the one to confirm it? Our leaders' actions continually bring embarrassment upon the nation."
It's obvious VDM is clearly a content creator, and a very creative one. He goes to extreme lengths and risks a lot to gain popularity, but in doing so, he has also helped many people. Beyond your biased take, please be honest and include the other sides of the story you left out.... Without even watching this video it's obvious you're upset, which is why you released this video.
In my opinion, implants are best suited for married couples who want to prevent pregnancy. In societies where girls can marry at 14, it seems acceptable for them to use these implants as well. However, for a parent to ask a medical professional to insert an implant in an unmarried teenage girl, it suggests they have failed in their parental duties and are relying on a medical device to guide their daughter.
musicwriter: But I just gave you another option. I need your own alternatives.
What's your own alternative? If you were the president; how would you have removed subsidy?
I will explain the "Why": I will Clearly explain that the subsidies are a massive drain on the national budget and benefit smugglers and the wealthy more than the poor. Till now people don't see the need for its removal.
Staged Removal: Remove the subsidy in increments over a year or two, not all at once. This will effectively cushion the averse effects.
Palliatives: Use the savings from the subsidy removal to fund social welfare programs, improve public transport, or give direct cash transfers to the most vulnerable citizens. This is extremely delicate, hinging entirely on transparency and accountability. To date, the promised palliatives have not been delivered in a meaningful way, leaving the public without any sign of relief.
The President had other avenues for a more effective implementation. A superior approach would have involved forming a diverse team of experts from various sectors of the economy to develop a comprehensive plan, instead of the abrupt and ill-timed announcement he made during his inauguration
musicwriter: The only way it would have been done differently would have been to first pass a law to make it constitutional to remove certain percentage of subsidy every year or two, etc. Aside that, there's no other better way than what the president has done.
The assertion that "there's no other better way" is a limited and often incorrect perspective. A more accurate view acknowledges that no single person possesses all the knowledge. To claim exclusive ownership of a solution is hubristic; it's like being the one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind. Effective problem-solving requires exploring multiple approaches, not just one
Can't you see that the problem isn't about whether to remove the fuel subsidy, everyone agrees on that. The issue is how it's being implemented. Since no previous government has been able to manage this without negative consequences, it's obvious we need a president who is smarter, more empathetic, and truly accountable to make it work this time.
musicwriter: Past governments have been doing all that by way of fuel price increase every now and then. Have you all forgotten too soon that it also used to throw the country into hardship whenever fuel price increased? Have you all forgotten too soon that it also used to throw the country into mass protests every now and then?
But the president has solved that.
Given that past administrations have failed using similar methods, it's clear the current government needs to adopt a different strategy. It's crucial to remember that this same political group, when in the opposition, actively encouraged protests against the Jonathan administration over this very policy, using it as a tool to undermine the government.
I maintain that a drastic approach is never the best way to implement policies that impact the general public. While anyone can propose policies, a government's true success is measured by its ability to implement them effectively and achieve positive results for its citizens.
musicwriter: There's no other better way to remove the subsidy than what the president did.
Let me tell you a little story about my inability to take drastic decision some time ago.
When our mother died, my junior brothers and sisters all lived with me here in Lagos. In about 2004, my two sisters who were aged around 19 years old got admission to study at UNN in Enugu but I didn't allow them to go there because I was scared how they'll live all alone. Money wasn't an issue at all. I was using 3 cars then and lived comfortably. But I cancelled the whole travel preparation and insisted that they should get the admission in UNILAG instead.
They tried and tried but couldn't get admission to UNILAG. They only got the admission after things went sour for me and I left the country. That's the only reason they didn't go to university.
I regret that decision of mine till today. I was naive and scared about how they'll survive on their own at that age. But now I know better. I should have allowed them to move to Enugu immediately.
The president has made the right decision, he knows it's a drastic decision, in fact, he knows exactly what he's doing.
The reason for the current economic situation is that we don't have a science and technology driven economy. If we had 20 working refineries, fuel would be selling for like N200/litre now.
The president has set the Nigerian economy free. This immediate impact is expected, it's part of the process of healing just like someone healing from a sickness. The person would eventually be well and fine.
I am touched by your story and relieved you were able to overcome it. My disagreement, however, is with the way the Tinubu administration handled the fuel subsidy removal.
The government's implementation of this policy lacked empathy and planning. The sudden and severe approach was like using insecticide to kill mosquitoes while your children are still in the room. You know the goal is good, but the method is reckless. Instead, you'd do it carefully when no one is around, allowing the danger to subside. The government should have taken similar precautions to protect the masses from the fallout of their decision.
slivertongue: They are at the same level. NOI said the policies are good but not benefiting the poor that's the implications of her statement about widening the social safety network. She spoke tongue in cheek. I supported GEJ removing fuel subsidy and I will support anyone who will remove it in phases and deploy the saved funds into making education cheaper, increased pay for govt employees, cheaper electricity, cheaper healthcare, better federal roads, improved deployment of technology in the national security architecture, creating a friendly economy etc
I agree with all your valid points. I just want to add that the saved funds can also be used to support massive mechanized agriculture, this would have made food cheaper. With cheaper education, electricity and food the effect of the subsidy removal would have no significant effect by the 1st year of implementation.
stuffs2002: Many of una just open mouth waaaaaaaaaaa just dey criticize without thinking. Subsidy removal is a one way ticket. You either leave it or remove it and it ends there.
Image123: i was hoping to read her say the best way it should have been removed, only not to be disappointed.
Did she run for office of the President? She has a plan close to her chest. If the President wanted good for all, he should have gone through the best way to implement it with a team before making the announcement.
fasho01: Oh, now it's a good policy? Thing is, there would have never been a right time. Whichever time it was done by a candidate that wasn't your favourite will never be the right time
Not just about time... Method of implementation. Was the communication method proactive? Was there any information to educate the people about the policies? No, instead it was announced in the most inhumane way. On the day of inauguration, in the most sinister way.
Was there a gradual implementation or full implementation? Was there a plan to mitigate the effect of the policy until it's positive result is felt by all? Did Tinubu take any of this steps to ensure the people at the bottom do not feel the severe hardship they are facing now? These and many more questions a good leader would have raised before creating policies.
