Cyberterror:
When the opposition see a President in every misfortune that befalls them, that is an ominous sign that the President is very popular and on his way to a landslide victory in the elections.

i know what you mean by popular in this contexts

yinkus6750:
They will come and start blaming the first lady now.
There are policies and procedures for doing things.
Imagine preparing akara in an unhygienic environment.
By the road side, and beside an open major drainage.
No show glass to put the akara.
Follow and obey the rules, and nobody will seize your items.

where are you selling your own akara.

aswani:
Oga Dickson, ya boat wey don nearly capsize na im you want Peter Obi to tanda put àbi?

former chairman agbero union nairaland branch, hope you have started your akara business

BATified2023:
oga they don't care about religion

All they want to do is create insecurity n use it as a tool for their evil agenda

so was your agbero chairman responsible for the chibok girls saga since he was the one crying that Jonathan should resign then because of insecurity

Odewaleadesoye:
The debate about Senator Oluremi Tinubu's comments on akara, agbado and kuli-kuli has divided many Nigerians. Some have defended her statement, saying there is dignity in labour and that many successful people started from humble beginnings. On that point, they are right.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with selling akara, roasting corn, making kuli-kuli, or engaging in any honest business. Millions of Nigerians have raised families, trained children through school, and built successful lives through small businesses. Honest work deserves respect.

But that is not why many Nigerians are angry.

The real issue is that Nigerians are tired of being told to manage hardship while those in power continue to live comfortably.

When a government is performing well, citizens are discussing opportunities, innovation, jobs, infrastructure, healthcare and education. When people are struggling to survive, every statement about poverty naturally becomes controversial.

Yes, ₦50,000 may help some petty traders. It may help a woman already selling food or a market trader who only needs a little support to restock goods. That is true.

But we must also ask an honest question: what about the millions of Nigerians already drowning in debt, unable to feed their families, struggling with rent, transport costs, school fees and rising food prices?

If someone owes ₦150,000, has not eaten properly for days, and is struggling to survive, how far can ₦50,000 really go?

The problem is not the grant itself. The problem is presenting survival as economic progress.

Nigerians do not want handouts forever. Nigerians want an economy that works.

They want stable electricity so businesses can grow.

They want affordable food.

They want security so farmers can return to their farms.

They want jobs that pay decent wages.

They want access to credit with reasonable terms.

They want a country where young people can dream beyond daily survival.

Recent reports also show that political activities continue across the country while many citizens are battling economic hardship and insecurity. At the same time, schoolchildren abducted in Oyo State remain a source of concern for many Nigerians, with families still hoping for their safe return.

This is why many people reacted strongly to the akara conversation. It was never really about akara.

It was about frustration.

It was about a growing feeling that ordinary Nigerians are being asked to endure more sacrifices while receiving less hope in return.

Nobody is saying small businesses are bad.

Nobody is saying people should be ashamed of humble beginnings.


What Nigerians are saying is simple:

Stop weaponising poverty.

Stop making hardship look normal.

Stop treating survival as success.

Build an economy where people sell akara because they choose to, not because they have no other option.

A nation cannot continue to measure progress by how creatively its citizens cope with suffering.

The true measure of progress is how many people no longer have to struggle just to survive.

That is the conversation Nigeria should be having.

Nigerians deserve more than survival. They deserve a government that creates opportunities, protects lives, grows businesses, and restores hope. Until then, conversations about akara, agbado and kuli-kuli will continue to remind us of a much bigger problem.

Ezeama400:
He said those that are less than 45 years of age in Nigeria don’t know how rotten and bad things have become, he said that people are getting used to suffering..

These are the people that enjoyed Nigeria when things were ok..
Average Nigerian youth doesn’t know or understand what good governance is all about because they have suffered too much to the extent that their brain have been wired to accept abnormalities as normal things..

the average agbero union members nairaland branch, the likes of helinues yarimo burob madridguy freestuffs wont like this

benuejosh:
Borrowing in itself is not a bad ideal. Tinubu borrowed and he has done tremendously well. The debt service percentage is very fair enough.

if devil have supporters why wont agbero chairman

MaziObinnaokija:
Then BRING BACK OUR KEROSENE

like wtf . why will they do so.how do you expect your agbero chairman get money to refill newly manufactured bullion vans. you have APC membership card make use of it

helinues:
Stinking rotten hypocrite for that matter

He will contradict his own beliefs, ideology and still no feel an atom of shame of repeating same over and over

its peter the rock . former chairman agbero union nairaland branch ,market the first class agbero from oluwale university .tell us why he should continue

Diamond098454:
It's easy for women to forgive but very hard for men. Women hardly cheat

Lithiumite:
How much is she earning now compared to before or she is now irelevant in her industry to attract value......the currency has been adjusted to show real value but all these empty heads expect everything to be normal after that......smart people knew it wasn't going to be easy and already prepared themselves but dumb ones keep crying at the inevitable.

she said you are a kidnapper ,no wonder you want agbero chairman to continue .your business is booming

lamentor78:
No Nigeria politician is as patriotic as Tinubu which year did you hear Tinubu resign from one party to another, once they lose primaries they hate the party that brought them to power

agbero chairman cannot lose primaries with bullion vans

and one chairman get bullion vans manufacturing company, i no call name ooh

Cyberterror:
The only thing Peter Obi did for Anambara is making them drunk with beer

lordm:
I thought Peter Obi made that road like Dubai

see the reason below

Counterigbolies:
no b only Mandela, na mungo park

Your agulu packaged fraud can only appeal to u cos u want your own as president, he was the same man u all once jointly cursed

The question we all should ask u is what changed?

What made the same man u once cursed suddenly become the messiah?

see you see heart attack. the price of hbp drugs are very high now

IJAYA001:
Lagos is moving as expected but our brothers in other side are not happy.

you need your b back

a case of a demon warning people to support the devil for more affliction. do you want to follow the demons advice

Mariangeles:
All Tinubu has to do is revert back the fuel subsidy removal, tackle insecurity, and allow importation of food, then he has my full support.

Once cost of transportation is cheap within the country, food will be cheap.

Hungry citizens are angry citizens.

ok let me check if he is done refilling his emptied bullion vans .most of you thinks agbero chairman came to better the country he said it his turn to pack money

ejimatic:
I pity Obi most.

Will the North vote him?
Kwankwaso himself knows that the ticket will not sell in the North!

pity yourself if agbero chairman continues because fuel will be 2500,dollar 2500 .obi is already a success

donmixc:

Better leave your friend matter and go back to night school.

nairaland English teacher take it easy

Sirjamo:
What is the difference between Peter obi and Gumi?

Obi has been defending ipob terrorists long before Gumi starts defending Bandits.

Perhaps, the difference is one is a Muslim while the other is a Christian

you need your b back

no body should blame agbero chairman for his failure. he was not merited to be president before ,so he said it is his turn after buhari.since sane nigerians said no to agbero chairman ,he grabbed,snatched power and ran away with bullion vans.since he came back with empty bullion vans ,he has to refill them

where is antichristian and that madridguy. make una come see una loves

femi4:
E lo fokan bale..a ma gbe wa le

Wickedtruths:
This kind of reasoning is why you can only be an Obidient.

jetguy:
Baba, I didn't stop you to vote for anybody you want to... pen down your opinion and Waka let others see road🙄
