Tinubu is more concerned about his pride than he is about providing good governance.

Qatar doesn't give a Bleep about you and they proved it. Going further to beg and lobby changes nothing

DevilsEqual:
Block vote from a particular region is what makes a president outperform the others?

Omg
When u think you've seen it all, then boom, another Igboman analyses things via the tribal perspectives 🗑️🗑️🗑️

Foresight! Detribalization! Good sense of judgement!
Are you dumb.? This is a harmless question and I expect an answer.

Yaradua didn't rule long enough to rate him so high but for the little period, he tried. Obasanjo and Goodluck also tried. But only goodluck made attempt to revive the transport sector - building trains, touch on some salient topics like true federalism and holding sovereign national conference to discuss our future etc.

Chinkoalhaji34:
While the idea of equal representation is commendable, this bill may not be the best solution as it could potentially limit the democratic process and disregard the qualifications and merits of candidates from these regions.

People with Qualification and merit like Buhari and Tinubu right

It's a charade if Wike, Tinubu and Yakubu are not prosecuted

AsomughaChuks05:
So what did Katsina people benefit from Buhari being President? That state is becoming deserted as bandits roam about unchecked, killing, pillaging and terrorising. If Buhari had not been President, they would have said that he would have solved the problem of banditry in the north the same way some deluded Obi supporters think he can solve any problem in Nigeria even after verified data showed that poverty in Anambra state doubled under his woeful rule.

Data from who? NBC

When it comes to Israel, even US dey try make dem nor loss guard

Mind games. America will wipe Israel of the face of the earth. You might claim Jews are powerful in the IS but that's inconsequential. American interest first. If American interest no longer aligns with Israeli interest, Israel will stop to exist

Is it BVN and NIN or BVN and/or NIN? Beau all my accounts have BVN but Opay recently started harassing me to link my NIN else they'll lock my account. Their deadline was yesterday, surprisingly, they didn't freeze it this morning as they threatened to

LegendHero:
Are you hungry too?

I thought all obedients are not hungry. You sure you are one of the obedients?

Stop being stupid. Who told you I'm an obedient? And do I even live in Nigeria? Stop being stupid I repeat. One selfish and greedy man installed a failure like buhari who killed the economy because that's the only way he can smell the presidency. Then on achieving his dream, instead of trying to resuscitate it, it burying it. Is this something for any normal human being to be proud of?

LegendHero:
Lol, all those who are in the business of sponsoring protests have seen that it is not business as usual during the period of Tinubu.

Tinubu strategically handled all items.

—SE: Normally, Peter Obi/PDP and his gangs of Obedient should have been at the forefront of the protest as opposition. But Tinubu played on their psyche. Prop some people up, then they believe joining protest mean they will be part of people complaining about hunger. So strategically, they are working for Tinubu without knowing. Just feed his ego, and an average Obidient lose his sense of reasoning. Even when parents are now killing kids because of extreme hunger in the SE, Obedients online still believe they are not hungry. What an irony.

—Northerners: In their usual game, they don’t have the moral authority to lead a protest because they know Buhari landed us in this mess and during that period, they failed to protest. So how do you sponsor violent protest when you don’t have the moral support?

—SW: Normally, SW don’t usually speak with one voice coz of 60/40 opposition divide and even if genuine people are protesting, Jagaban people also blended with the crowd and declared hunger and hardship induced by the polices of Tinubu. So when Yorubas themselves are speaking up against Tinubu and complaining of hunger, where is the moral support for opposition to lead a protest? How do you lead protest when the actual people you’re trying to fight against are leading it? So there is controlled protest strategically by same SW politicians to water down effect of any other protest in other part of the country.

—TUC and NLC: Jagaban just try to make sure no amount of protest embarked upon by these guys will carry weight. TUC president saw this and baba backed out of the protest and NLC Ajaero who is another Tinubu tool saw his protest failing on the very first day. An almighty NLC couldn’t even win the confidence of the workers anymore. Ajaero is toothless.

—Police: Usually police are always antagonist of protesters. But the rule play is different now. Police are actually the one cheering with the protesters and even going as far as joining them and providing snacks. So psychologically, the protesters see that the government is part of them. Even if they want to be furious, they will use this to give benefit of the doubt.

Now all this point to one thing. Nigerians believe in Tinubu and they have tried in giving him benefit of the doubt. It’s not like the man jazzed everybody, coz with the hard reforms he embarked on and the hardship that follows it at first, NO PRESIDENT can do this without NLC and opposition shutting the country down. ONLY Jagaban can do that and people will still be patient with him.

Lastly, Jagaban should ensure the promised minimum wage and other intervention come fast. This magic might not last long if people don’t see the promise fulfilled. He is so lucky to have even lasted this long with little nation rocking protest.

So your Jagaban is a genius, but an evil one. He is very good at strategizing and throwing hundreds of millions into poverty and hunger. Is that an achievement?

It's not bold and brave decision if the fallout of the decision doesn't affect you in any way. It will not make you go hungry or go to bed on empty stomach. It's not called bravery, it's called wickedness.

Throwing 80% of Nigerians into abject poverty at the same time increasing your own allowances - excluding the billions you're embezzling is the height of wickedness

People buying bulk will then start paying more which will in turn have a positive effect on the dollars

This is not safe for drinking. Our body is already used to drinking "clean" pure water

nairalanda1:
He has been forced to repay back the money, has admitted to the crime, and is facing criminal stuff.

This case is a serious case. Richer and more promient people in the US have been jailed for something similar.

He certainly traded based off "Privileged information" but I see some technicality on this particular case. The major problem is that he had already admitted to doing it but even at that, there's still some technicalities that he can try to get himself off the hook. This is an issue of information and data, some very good lawyers has gotten hackers off the hook based on certain technicalities.

The man only needs a good lawyer and he'll come out glitch free. It would have been classified as insider trading if the wife divulged this information to him but she didn't. He OBERHEARD ! EAVESDROP. He didn't go searching on confidential information. As much as I understand with my forex trading and cyber security background, a good lawyer can help him from this case.

Chukwuka319:
Am unapologetic Igbo but I must be brutally honest.Anyone with insults can direct them to his or her ancestors, and generation unborn.
Why are they harassing Gowon? He spoke the truth about the civil war.
Gowon never wanted the war to break out and sought peaceful means of settlement,but Ojukwu was reckless,rash and too eager to pull Igbos out of Nigeria.
Well Gowon is still alive, healthy and bubbling in good health, while Ojukwu the war lord has long ago passed to the other Side.
And Gowon is older than Ojukwu.
Irony of life.

You're not Igbo. And who broke the Aburi accord?

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Good. Why would you wear a mini skirt to class? No be only book dem dey learn for school you should learn morals too. Yaro banza!

You guys condone evil. Your society take hard stand against things that are not actually detriment to the society while they ignore the real problem and you'll keep clapping for them.

jamesversion:
What sort of menial job is that. Because I know pharmacist that are paid about 3000euros a month in Ireland.

Well, people earn 800 in Europe doing menial jobs. People earn 3000 as well. It depends. I deliberately chose the lowest earnings possible as example. Lowest earners in Nigeria are earning 20 to 30k which is not even enough for feeding. See the point now?

DeOTR:
We are saying the same thing. Paying a quarter of €1k monthly as rent would get you same big man experience in Nigeria, most certainly even more comfortable.
I've lived in the Baltic, 2k monthly is still below average in most European countries.

You're kidding right? How can you make a quarter of a thousand in Nigeria?

EponObi:
Small small with the lamba.

If your friends are earning €1k per month in EU, they are earning minimum wage. €2k salary is even way below average - that's €24k per year.

Dey play. Your friends are among the lowest earners in EU. You self said, all the do with their salary is pay bills pay rent, pay for food, and transport,*then little flex*

Your friends are slaves in Europe. No offense. And with rate EU countries are about to enter recession and rampaging inflations, your friends are not different from folks earning #100k in Nigeria, like some rightly said.

And I won't be surprised if some of your friends were among top salary earners in Nigeria before japaing.

You succeeded in saying nothing. We're talking about cost of living compared to the salaries and I deliberately used the lowest earners/the most vulnerable to give my example. I have friends that are earning hundreds of thousands of euros who are my seniors in software engineering but why should I use them as instance when the most affected by cost of living are the poorest?

And again you lie, someone earning 1k in Europe is like someone earning like 800k in Nigeria present exchange rate. Early last year's exchange rate is like someone earning 500k. You know why? Only rent is much more expensive than Nigeria and other essential commodities are on the same range.

If you're earning 100k in Nigeria, there is absolutely no way you can save 400 euros but someone earning 1k in Europe can save 400 euros. Don't argue with me if you've never lived in Europe

Yoruba people are not meant to be able to sustain hunger. The lifestyle of owambe and buying of cheap foods. This is why at a time during the buhari government, they started stealing pot of soups. And Hausa people are like that too - their eating habits is funny. This is why people from the middle belt, south south and south east will survive better in case of famine in Nigeria

Rossikk:
You are talking RUBBISH. The guy said his friends are buying Iphones and cars and renting flats on 1k a month salary and that is a FCKING LIE.

AND IF THEY ARE IN THE UK, IT'S A TRIPLE FCKING LIE.

A 3 BEDROOM FLAT IN THE UK WILL SET YOU BACK £2,000 (IE 4 MILLION NAIRA) MINIMUM PER MONTH FOR A REALLY CHEAP PLACE.

3 GUYS SHARING THAT WILL PAY ROUGHLY £700 POUNDS PER MONTH EACH.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED GAS, ELECTRIC, HEATING, PHONE BILL, SKY TV BILL ETC.

WHERE IS THE MONEY FOR CARS AND IPHONES OR EVEN FOOD?

THEY ARE DOING BENEFIT FRAUD OR CREDIT CARD FRAUD.

MOST DEFINITELY.

You're the liar here. There are 27 countries in the EU and I have been to a few of them - I live in one. There are many countries that pay between 1000 to 2000 euros for menial jobs including overtime and you can comfortably rent a 3 bedroom for a thousand euro. Rent is the only essentials that's expensive in Europe. Other expensive things are luxuries that you don't actually need. Food is quite cheap - unless you want to start eating Nigerian. For me I spend excessively because I use Nigerian milks, Nigerian soaps and creams and most or the things I use for food and for personal care are from Nigeria. Most of these guys use whatever is available in the European country where they live. Some go to work with scooters or buy bus cards with 50 euros or a little more or less depending on the country.

What else is needed there? Wears are expensive, but majority of Nigerians get clothes from different sources including thrifts where they are sold 1 euros by charities. Why are you guys arguing with someone that is right here?

ExudeLoveToAll:
You are very wrong, the lowest of the work force don't save . Are you refferering to the minimum wage earners as those who can save from 30k monthly job? Do you even know where Nigeria is or you just manufactured this from thin air?

The lowest workers can't even feed with that salary for a month not to talk of other bills, you are very far from reality my friend. If you had talked about those earning 6figurrs in Nigerian currency I would have agreed with you but the minimum workers no.

That was not so clear sorry about the way I phrased it. I mean Nigerians in Europe are able to save even with the lowest paying menial jobs

Rossikk:
All this with 1k or 2k Euros per month?

Your friends are into fraud, bro.

Don’t even bother arguing with me cos I know the deal in Europe.

I live in Europe. You don't tell me what I know. The only thing that runs into the hundred in Europe is rent. If 3 guys take 3 bedroom flat they'll cut down the rent and the houses are quite clean and each person to one room. This is what I've seen firsthand. They have enough for whatever they want and they're doing menial jobs. I'm not even talking about the skilled ones like us - the lowest of the work force from Nigeria are able to save working here in Europe - just have a job that's all.

DeOTR:
Even in Portugal with one of the lowest wages and cost of living in Europe, €2k is not enough to live large.

Who's talking about living large? They live in houses that has things that only big men can afford in Nigeria and eat whatever they want and pay rent, pay bills and still have a few hundreds left each month. I live in Europe bro though I don't do menial jobs cos I'm a software engineer

akingangan:
If you are earning 100 thousand in Nigeria you are better off than someone earing 1000 in Europe... Because you can rent a house, eat comfortably and transport comfortably especially outside of Lagos

It's a big lie. Feeding will eat it up. Foodstuff is basically the same range in Nigeria and abroad. Transportation is the same range. A lot of the basic and essential stuffs are the same range as Europe and Nigeria. I live in Europe though I don't earn that way as I'm a software engineer but I have people earning 1k to 2 from menial jobs and they rent 3 bedrooms together, transport to work with monthly bus card or use their scooters everyday and they still have 200-400 left every month.

akingangan:
Earning 1000 in Europe a month is not enough to rent a room and pay the bills in most European cities.

It's like earning 100,000 in Nigeria.

Did you read what I wrote. The only thing expensive in Europe is rent. If you have 1000 you can rent a 3 bedroom house. If you're 3, you pay less than 400. Bills are average of 100 - 200 if you rent such apartment. 100 or 200 is sufficient for feeding

akingangan:
Things are cheapest in Nigeria compared to other countries

Food in Nigeria is 20 times cheaper than many other countries
Accommodation is 20 times cheaper compared to other countries

It's just the Salaries that should be increased
and Nigerians should work harder like other countries.

In Europe, some or my friends that get paid 1000 to 2000 euros per month pay rent from the money - rent 3 bedroom with 3 people at 1k each to their rooms. Pay bills. Eat food - food is very cheap in Europe, pay transportation. Flex a little and still have some money to send back home.

How is Nigeria cheap if the monthly salary can not buy a bag of rice?

Some of my friends have bought cars from their month salary. Some buy the newest release of iPhones and Samsung . Even before the current inflation, Nigeria has been the most expensive country to live in

tyup:
Tiv people do this alot. Na dem dem dey lead Herdsmen come attack their people, if Herdsmen don't do it, they're doing it themselves. Ngwa come together and fight your common enemy "bandit Herdsmen" they won't, the next minute they're looking for fight with em Jukun people, if they're not fighting Jukun they're fighting Kuteb, Idoma or Agatu

I no dey pity them at all. y'all saw how Tiv people sold Gana out to Buhari to be killed (Someone helping them fight and chase away herdsmen o)

It's obvious you don't know what you're saying. Most of the attacks are in Idoma land. You just gate Tiv people

NinjaMetahuman:
k.

This fucking retarded ediot went from you can't be paying the amount you pay politicians in Nigeria and be developed to countries that are over paying their politicians have developed even after pointing it to him initially.

Can't you see how stupid and flip floppy you sound.

No wonder he thinks apc is his problem and not politician.

Fucking single cell one way track mor0n.

Abeg go and quote your fellow dunce and geddifok of my mention.

I don't have time for retarded brains.

You are dumb for real. Yes, APC is our problem. It will take only someone with a half brain cell to dispute this. Before APC came to power, Nigeria was bad, but people can afford to eat, farmers go to farm without frwr of Fulani terrorists. I can list 1001 metrics of how Nigeria was before they came in and this happened in the eyes of everyone so I don't need to waste my time on the obvious. If you're disputing this, then something is seriously wrong with you.

And for the bolded, you sound so incoherent and it's obvious.

NinjaMetahuman:
a simple Google search would answer your question but you want me to spoon feed you .

https://bscholarly.com/countries-with-the-highest-paid-politicians-2023-top-8/


Be defending other politicians thinking apc is your problem.
I'm sure your favorite politician has probably defected from pdp to apc or vice versa in the past or somehow benefited from someone that has been in apc.

But yeah, apc is your problem and not politician.
Sentiment always makes people braindead to simple logic.

You seem very dumb. These countries are developed and have a very stable economy that they pay common cleaners up to 2,000 dollars. If a president is getting paid 1m dollars in any of these countries and a Nigerian president is getting paid 100,000 when the minimum wage is 30,000, don't you see anything wrong there? And yes, APC is the problem of Nigeria. Nigeria was very good from 1960 to 2015 when APC came in. The only time that Nigeria got nearly as bad was also when Buhari was ruling in 1983.

APC is a curse to Nigeria and it doesn't take sentiment to say this obvious fact

nairalanda1:
Yeah, and where is the money to keep funding subsides, even the one we pay self cannot cover any roof of any house, using your analogy (Electricity subsidies cannot fund or cover anything much)

We have reached point zero. And I hold this APC government and the past APC government responsible, because they came in with ideas about diversification and raising non oil revenue...and they did not do that.

This present government is still to be blamed. The best time to remove subsidy was in 2014 when the cost of living wasn't so high and exchange rate was below 200 naira but he used his looted funds to sponsor the mother if all protests out of selfish interest then went ahead to spearhead the most inept and clueless government who priorize terrorising his people over governance
