premium tears waiting for you come 2027 just like 2023

you a baby on the back of his mother ,who because of that is not aware of the enormous distance to the market
You will soon face reality when your feeding bottle falls of

Lithiumite:
Are you aware there is subsidy on electricity,are you aware there is subsidy on some agric inputs,are you aware there is subsidy on HIV drugs,are you also aware this govt is attempting to subsidise cancer and kidney treatments for the masses?

Say what you know and mot what you don't.

no subsidy anywhere, just say you are still looking at the appropriate price to price those product or services
We don't have a caring government that will subsidise anything for anybody, if they talk of any subsidy its just propaganda

nairalanda1:
Yes, and you GEJ supporters were just as abusive, and since 1999, opposition and government supporters have been at each other's throat.

You guys should not carry tinubu, buhari, gej, obi and company for head. At the end they are all the same. Yes, GEJ, who was borrowing to pay salaries at the end of his regime.

As I have found out it is better to support no politican and keep a watchful eye on all of them. That's how they were praising Okorocha at the start of his governorship, and I was just siddon look...we know how it ended.

is GEJ that was borrowing to pay salary so that the people can eat not better than Tinubu borrowing, because Tinubu is still borrowing massively and spending it on frivolities, on elites and consumption, that impact only on himself and his friends
You love your oppressors

nairalanda1:
If he had kept it, we would have reached a point where we would have run out of money and forex for salaries, imports, etc...

Look old man, forget politics, Tinubu is not the best leader we have ever had...we agree. But what would you do if you take over and find out that over 90% of revenue is going to service debt, and effective forex resrve is about 4 bn dollars.?...and you need money now.?

Yes, we should fight corruption, cut government spending, etc...but all that is going to take time.

Unless you wanted us to run out of money before 2023, removing subsidy was the best thing for us that time. YES...it was evil hypocrite tinubu who did it, but obi or atiku would have done it.

Mene mene tekel uparshin. The writing was on the wall. Any politican keeping subsidy would have run into trobule.

The best time to remove subsidy was 2012, or earlier. We said no.

Thank God all and every subsidy has been removed now,Nigerians now enjoy zero subsidy, there is nothing to lie about as hindrance again, we are waiting to see the impact of this so much touted magic wand,that will usher Nigerians into their eldorado
Not on paper o, but the one they will feel in their lives

He took a reckless action,without thinking because he was too full of himself, the I have the power and courage
He thought his advisers were brilliant and he he took their advice hook line and sinker,which call to question his Chicago certificate
Because the results has shown that ,that was a wrong step ,their magic wand has failed them
They did not even remove one or two subsidies, they removed all subsidies, everything subsidies in the country they removed not only fuel,yet they couldn't get enough money, they moved to taxes, they are still struggling, shouldn't that tell them that their problem is not what they spend on the people but their leadership and management style
Which they need to improve upon

seunmsg:
He also said subsidising fuel was never sustainable and the country would have been bankrupt by now if President Bola Tinubu didn’t remove it.

Did you not noticed that he was talking about subsidising importation not the production through refinery, Tinubu took the easier way out, left the refineries,and also removed all forms of subsidies, this has helped us to see, including the Emir a senior advocate of subsidies removal, that subsidies were never the issue but management, we have poor and wicked leadership
Subsidy removal have been implemented now ,is Nigeria better off no,at least has evident from the lives of Nigerians, there is no civilised country that do not subsidise one thing or the other for their citizens but here the leaders criminalise it why subsidising their own lifestyle
The worst part is the people believe it that it is that portion they benefit that is the problem, while the government can go on reckless spending
Anyway the people gets the kind of leader they deserve

amazingspiderma:
When a good doctor appears the patient gets better.

But in Nigeria the patient get worse while the doctor gets rich.

Policies that does not lift people from poverty is bad.

Celebrating IGRs while citizens become poorer.


Those who are celebrating this government should continue, after social media the market will bring us to reality.

God bless you for this analogy,they always parrot the lies ,it is a necessary pain,it is temporary but yet nobody can see any light at the end of the tunnel of their policy and their patient ,the Nigerian nation is getting worse in the hands of their messiah doctor, which is very strange.
Instead of them to be ashamed of their overhyped incompetent Jagaban, they try to gaslight the people

Sonnobax15:

Omoh, every single section in this country just need total overhauling.........

But the citizens seems not interested in this but to be fighting themselves along tribal or religious line while completely leaving out their oppressors who are responsible for the state of things

poiZon:
There r still planning to borrow to fund projects that they won't complete in their life span..

Discontinue the Lagos-calabar coastal road for now, use the remaining funds to fix the existing roads that r in deplorable conditions.

Toll the roads..

Let the road generate funds for its future maintenance.

Cut wasteful spending for now, prioritize projects that will add values to Nigerians n its economy.
All these 50k grants just to buy poor people votes should be discontinued ASAP.

This is what a sensible Govt should do now...

The Chicago graduate of accounting did not take courses in economics, he not aware of scale of preference, his priorities are wrong, priotising calabar coastal highway to no where over ,rehabilitating existing roads ,speaks so much of his clulessness and wrong priorities, like buying a bigger plane,bigger vehicles,bigger presidential convoy,unnecessary overseas trips, the list goes on and on

Quodseverismete:
Tinubu the tax emperor, on your mandate I stand. Nigeriansb are already bleeding from nose because of tax.

," By the time APC tinubu is done with Nigerians even the change in your pocket cannot buy anything"

He is taxing us heavily, he is borrowing heavily, he removed fuel subsided and he heavily destroyed the values of Naira. Tinubulation economic

He removed all subsidies, education subsidy, fuel subsidy, forex subsidy, electricity subsidy, international passport subsidy, he removed all forms of subsidies yet he could still not makes ends meet for the country, this is an indication that its all being lies our problem has never been subsidy but poor management

Felimax:
Lies from the pit of hell!
What about the Refineries? I believe they are all working now since last year December.

He is not talking about now he meant late 2026,when the election is very close, it is for campaign
Don't forget the famous Tinubu speech DON'T VOTE FOR ME IF I DON'T GIVE YOU 24/7 ELECTRICITY
They want to brag a promise made is a promise kept
Governor amunike style

themanderon:
They should take it back to where they met it before we can talk about improvements.

somebody took something from 400 naira to 1900 and then brought it to 1500 after much cry and hardship and they are hailing him that he stabilise it ,what do we say about the person that kept it at 400 or the one that left it 150
These are the worst set of people to ever rule this country, behaving like gang stars

Abeg oga shift, its none of our business, since we discovered the real you,your business is now your business don't involve us
Even though you want to use this to make Tinubu look not alone in presiding over a country in trouble

They don't want to loose their privileges
The forget that masquerade festival don't last forever
No matter how they do it ,this their regime must come to an end one day just like the buhari regime
They will face reality, they are just being myopic

nedu666:
See dem. Awon hold your leaders accountable. He has suddenly changed mouth. What laptop boys can't do doesn't exist

if ever there will be a time the politicians will be held accountable like its been done elsewhere, their enablers like the person you just responded to ,should must also collect
They must reap the evil they so ardently supported and enabled

If Nigerians love themselves majority of those rubber stamp national assembly men should not return in 2027 not only Tinubu
They are absolute disgrace

Holdup247:
do you know he can not be the governor of Lagos state? Never will Rhodes gbadebo become Lagos state governor...

does the power to prevent him lies with you ,you over estimated your importance
Even the influence of you people's personal lord and saviour will come to an end in 2027
Let's see what become of you guys after the annihilation in 2027
When you will eat the humble pie

Thus useless government, I don't know which sector have not threatened strike or protest, despite the humongous revenue he has generated instead of investing it on the welfare of the people, he is busy buying up political loyalty and flexing with the rest ,such an irresponsible leader
With his vastly incompetent and clueless minister of finance the worst since independence

SarkinYarki:
Who collapse the Naira if not Tinubu and his shortsighted self centered bad policies ...the day he stood on the podium in Eagle Square and shouted subsidy is over prematurely is the day his govt policies was doomed to fail

He followed up by increasing prices of all available government products in the name of subsidy removal, from Petroleum products to forex to custom duties to electricity tariffs, to passport procurement, to hike in school fees, while paying pittance as wages
It is clearing the man is a rookie in modern leadership, although he excel in agbero leadership, but as a leader in modern society he is a misnomer

Kdon2:
He is not the son of rhides-vivour. He is born to a ibo father but adopted through his mother by the vivour father. Adopted son ni not biological.

That's more like Tinubu story, despite that Tinubu was still accepted, if what you wrote here is the true story of gbadebo using the Tinubu precedent he is still a Lagosian even though your assertion is a lie from the pit of hell, because during the bohaha of the last election, the father of gbadebo and mother who are still alive have come out to put the record straight and debunk all these veil lies

Image123:
Please be reasonable. Explain how it is ordinary Nigerians that are bearing the brunt of the tax reforms. How is it an error policy? How is removal of subsidy an error? Do you have the money to pay? Are you unaware that the country's debts were skyrocketing due to subsidies?

Has the debt reduced since subsidies removal , no ,it has even skyrocketed
The government is insincere everything they revolted against, they are doing now
It shows how shameless, deceitful and two faced they are
That's not a good trait of a good leader

Softmirror:
There is never a right time. Nigerians should work more on how to hold the government accountable than merely making noise all over the place.

we will soon find out if there is a right time
That was how they told us removal of subsidies is the panacea to all our problems it will help us save money that can be applied to important areas, we have seen the negative effects of that decision
They also told us flotation of naira/ devaluation will cure all the malaise, we've seen how devastating that action has been by accentuating the multidimensional poverty and hardship in the land
Now they've shifted their focus on taxation,
It is just unfortunate that it is the ordinary Nigerians that are bearing the brunt of this their ill thought, try and error policies
They've turned Nigerians into genuine pig for their ideas, learning on the job

You can not tax your way to prosperity ,the earlier this government know this the better for them
Taxes are fiscal instruments the government uses to attend to particular issues at some time, not something that can cure all ailments, it should have timing and what is going on in the economy
This is not the time for government to overwhelmed the citizens with tax,it will have negative effect and will be counter productive
The government is fixated on the obligation of citizens to pay tax, but conveniently ignoring the corresponding obligation of the government to use the Taxes responsibility in a manner that will impact the lives of tax payers positively, just like it is done is advance countries where they copy taxation from

Let him get the ticket first or does he think the ticket is his exclusive preserve
The guy that haven't got enough private sector experience, zero government experience, haven't won any elective positions not even a Councillor, wants to jump straight to be governor,that's over ambition, the obi phenomenon of 2023 was a chance but its no more applicable in 2027
If ADC should field him ,they ve already lost the race, before it even started

No wahala let’s see how it goes but I promise banks go suffer am pass, and someone like me will stop using bank

How will people send money to you or you send money to people

obinnajohnson:
Don't forget ooo, OBJ's government was paying fuel subsidy when that law was enacted. This current government removed fuel subsidy, yet, they are hellbent on imposing the same tax which OBJ did not implement on the masses.

Tinubu is a wicked soul,he only cares about himself
Big presidential jet,new cardillac, new yacht, new fleet of presidential cars,multi billion naira renovation of guest houses
All at tax payers expense while removing all and even form of subsidy which he is enjoying multiple folds

CoronaVirusPro:
Why will His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) rig an election that he is already projected to win.

Who else will win in 2027 of not His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

We need to start staring at the reality facing us and stop hoping for impossibilities.

if he is going to rule his personal compound he has won but if it is Nigeria, he can't win ,his performance is kindergarten at best, it not good enough
Our lives are not toys that will be given to him to do as he likes
He has no leadership qualities lead an organise society, he his more suited for gangs, garage, or those unruly groups of people, where you need brute force,deceit ,wickedness, etc

Ofunaofu:
It’s a national consensus at this point.

That’s why all their desperate attempts to guilt-trip Nigerians with “let the South finish eight years” or “it’s south turn” are dead on arrival. Even they know it won’t fly.

And Tinubu, of all people, has zero moral ground to preach “southern turn.” This is the same man who teamed up with his fellow désperados, power grabbing buccaneers to sabotage Goodluck Jonathan a fellow southerner and cut short the South’s chance at an uninterrupted eight years in power. You can’t destroy a bridge and then complain you can’t cross it.

Nature, karma, and the consequences of failed leadership have all aligned Tinubu will be a one-term president.

He’s earned it. It's his own making.

No president in our history has inflicted this level of hunger, suffering, confusion, and deceit on the people all in the name of bogus “economic reforms.” It’s been propaganda in place of policy, and poverty in place of progress.

History will remember. Nigerians already do.

He even worked against one mulikat from his same osun state from becoming the speaker of house of Representatives when it was the turn of even southwest because of his personal ambition, he should be served the same stew he has been serving others ,there is nothing special about him,at least all his pretence as a democrat has been revealed as a ruse now

jayce232:
Exactly!
Increasing minimum wage is indirectly calling for increment in price of goods. It is best NLC start tailoring their demand to reduction in price of goods. If minimum wage is increased to 200k, cement will increase to 25k, as well as every other goods, it makes no difference no more. We only end up carrying more money to buy samething.

The labour approach is the best approach under this drunken leader government, your suggestion can work should be the approach under a sobber leader who genuinely wants to find a solution but the present government is obsessed with revenue generation forgetting there must be a corresponding means to provide the revenue, which are the wages ,the government keep increasing the prices of its own goods without increasing the salary and wages which is what will be used to purchase the exorbitant goods the government is selling like electricity tariff, like passport, like fuel price like customs duties,like forex,like school fees,like taxes,all these have their prices increased directly by the government, which latter form the bases for the worsening inflation in the country
THE LABOUR if sincere has taken the right steps

The minister of finance should be the first to be shown the exit door, the guy seem confused and overwhelmed by the demands of the office, that he has become a liability to the government
