PoliticsWhere Did Nigeria Really Got It Wrong by steeltrust(op): 3:06pm On Oct 28, 2025
Before CHANGE took over Nigeria, things were not perfect but the country was alive.

There was light at the end of the tunnel.

There was structure.
There was direction.
And, most importantly, there was hope.

From 1999, Obasanjo worked to clean Nigeria’s international image.

He cleared debts, rebuilt our foreign reserves, and opened Nigeria to the world again.

Yar’Adua came with a quiet mind

not loud, not flashy but he had a vision.

He started the Niger Delta Amnesty Program, began true electoral reforms, and stabilized oil production.

The best president Nigeria will ever had

Then came Goodluck Jonathan.

For the first time, Nigerians saw power transition peacefully.

We had a president who valued intellect who surrounded himself with experts,
not noise-makers.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala managed the economy with global respect.

The naira was stable.

Investors trusted us.

Tech startups began to rise.
Airports were improving.

Even fuel scarcity wasn’t a daily nightmare.

Nigeria was not heaven but you could dream.

You could plan.

You could save money and know what it was worth next month.

₦500,000 in 2014 meant something.

Then came 2015.

The “change” that changed everything.

The same Nigeria that was finding its feet suddenly lost balance.

Policies started to clash.

Foreign investors ran.

The dollar jumped from ₦150 to ₦500 in one presidency.

Inflation went wild.

Unemployment tripled.

The naira was devalued beyond control.

People started migrating (japa) not for luxury, but for survival.

And that’s where the real question lies:

What exactly happened?

How did a country that was becoming Africa’s biggest economy and pride suddenly become a begging economy?

Was it mismanagement?

Was it sabotage?

Or was Nigeria’s growth simply a threat to powers beyond our borders?

Yeah Jonathan’s government may had its flaws, but there was a sense of peace.

The economy was functional.

There was dialogue.

So how did everything collapse right after “change” came?

Today, the same “change” has changed our reality completely.

A bag of rice that was ₦8,000 now costs ₦70,000.

A dollar that was ₦150 is now ₦1,200.

A country that once gave others hope can’t even feed its own.

Sometimes I sit and wonder

maybe we didn’t just vote out a man in 2015,
maybe we voted out our future.

As a Nigerian, it’s painful to look back and remember that there was a time when one dollar was just ₦150.

Now, it’s over ₦1,000 and still climbing.

A time when ₦5,000 could fill your tank, when ₦500,000 could build something, and when hope still meant something.

Today, the numbers don’t just show inflation they show how far we’ve fallen.

The saddest part?

We’re not even shocked anymore.

We’ve normalized suffering.

No Nigeria deserved the Nigeria struggle

reallyhuh You saying this about Tottihuh Even if he was what you are describing him to be he still isn't in the league of those rugged guys the op listed up there. Totti everyone knows was a very fine and smooth baller. I would rather he included Gabriel Batistuta
I agree with you on Batistuta but totti is still rugged sha oh

Dapo Abiodun the "Eléyìí of Ògùn" was also elected. Abi, was he even elected, sef? I remember people stoning the podium when he was being presented by Oshiomhole.
I’d Nigeria was a serious country 99.9% of those in office won’t even win party primaries not to talk of re-election

FoodRe: Man Calls Out African Food Sellers In America Over Expensive Pounded Yam & Egusi by steeltrust: 4:34pm On Sep 16, 2025
What he said is true and that why I stopped going to these restaurants to buy food
Even the local grocery store are so over priced

And you see them complain that Africans prefer to eat Chinese or Korean food over their own food That because those food are cheap and also sweet

I took my family to an African restaurant and spent almost 400$ and spent less than 150$ at a Korean restaurant and the Chinese it not even up to 60$ and the food was too much and we had to keep for the next day

Nigerians and Africans we do too much
Even back home that how they over priced things and then later cause artificial inflation and blaming the govt


They need to stop
It too much

If I call Nigeria a useless country people go de cry
If as a truck driver and a company this kind thing happen for america, the company and the driver will be suspended and they will pay fines in thousands and millions, law suit that will follow will even make the company beg for mercy but in Nigeria
You guess is as good as mine

A country where law and order is by favoritism is a country that will never grow
PhonesRe: OpenAI Launches GPT‑5 by steeltrust: 5:15am On Aug 08, 2025
PlasmaTV:
Artificial intelligence is the stuff of science fiction. Has the potential to fling humanity hundreds of years forward.

My challenge with it is that, paradoxically, it's also making humans less smarter as many people don't think critically anymore and their brains are literally atrophying.

Interesting times
I disagree with you
It even makes us smarter and think deep critically
I’m an example
