Exactly, and that is the doom of the country.
We will turn around and hate, discredit who genuinely wants the progress of the country for tribal reasons. Are we not the ones, that have hooked now?
Some people know how to naturally turn things around, but will a chance be given? I will give you 2 examples.
1. What did Osibanjo do when he took office for a short period, sars went off the streets, he sacked dss head that violated the judiciary, because of that police oga cautioned his boys and they knew he meant business, naira that hit 750 crashed to 300. How come.
2. For the past 8 years, no school, business, transporters would have been able to buy buses because of the high price due to exchange rate. Eg a brand new haice bus is currently over 40m, coaster 50m. A brand new korope from Suzuki cfao motors is 10m. Out of the blue, some sharp guy goes to Japan, starts buying 1st class used buses. Cuts the top off, disassembles them. Stacks eg 30 vehicles in a 40ft container instead of the 4 vehicles a 40 footer will contain.
He the ships it in, assembles them and crashes the price of korope to 2m, hummer bus 7m. Nigerians can then afford to buy.
This is what I mean. This same Nigeria could be handled by a competent person, naira would have appreciated, fuel price would have dropped, fuel importation would have been cheaper somehow. If you doubt, read again the example of cost buses I have up there, a way was found.

My brother the people gets the kind of leaders they deserve, the leaders are a reflection of the society, the day our values changes ,we will change our leaders until then things remain thesame

The Government said the pH refinery will start working in december.

Don't you know how to read and understand

Kewtt:
What is Nigeria's business with international price of what we produce? Must we import?

That is the tactics they use when they want to inflict more pains through price hike,nobody will interrogate them
We are not importing gas we export gas
But government philosophy in Nigeria with the collaboration of Nigerians is keep them,make sure,they are poor,always make sure you increase their pain periodically, that way ,the people will love you for not being a weak leader

jmoore:
He is a drug trafficker.

No primary school

No secondary school

He used Donald Duke's childhood picture as his own.


Timlubuu is the biggest criminal in the history of Nigeria.

Apc is a conglomeration of fraudsters ,same way buhari was packaged as a corruption fighter only for us to latter found out that buhari himself is the definition of scam

WorldRichest:
As e dey pain you, e dey sweet us

it's true e dey sweet you because you are buying your fuel cheaper at the filling station reserved for people like you,you are getting forex cheaper, even commodities that has make cost of living unbearable is not so with you because your government in whom you are well pleased has a special market for you where you are buying cheaper
It's your time ,continue to sweet o

MrPOTUS:


Honestly, Tinubu is overrated.

Even the glory given to him for Lagos state should be given to Fashola.


Remember my fellow Yoruba brothers, suffering knows no religion or tribe.

you are also committing the same mistake ,fashola too is overated,out of the whole apc that has govern lagos its only ambode that did well, when you look at projects completed vis axis amount expended,others are product of propaganda

KwuoteYourFada:
Shut up tinubu did nothing special in Lagos

If you say Fashola I'll agree


Lagos was already a made state before them born tinubu papa

you are still buying this people 's propaganda it is ambide that really did anything significant in Lagos after jankande but he was not using the press like the others

gaby:
Hopeless Senate.

The current senate will make the rubber-stamp Lawal-led senate seem like the US senate, just as the BAT-led FG makes Buhari's administration seem like Obama's.

What a bunch of useless humans.

Shame on Akpabio and the his colleague Legislooters.

you must be a brilliant guy to quickly figure this out in this early days

Holybwoy:
RIP to her.. The Lagos state Government will do everything to dead this news and not make it go out.. The elevator will also be fixed overnight, tonight followed by a press release to bamboozle the public..

The family should however, be getting ready to press correct charges.. They will be heavily compensated

But the family will not do that ,just like the families of victims of dangote trucks,reason for the so much recklessness

jmoore:
SURE P Version 2.0

It is stupidity to claim that only a select few benefitted from subsidy, at the same time you still acknowledge that Nigerians are suffering from subsidy removal.

If only select few gained from subsidy, why are you talking about palliative? Common sense should have told you the poor also gained from subsidy, that's why they are suffocating now that it has been removed.

truth is what sets you free, lies will always catch up lies, it is because they are lying that is why they are not coherent, they think every body is dumb like their followers who has always been unable to see through them

Axis313:
For those juvenile Nigerians supporting the coupists because they hate Tinubu,I pray you guys will soon be deported to Niger to enjoy military government,at least once in your lifetime.
Those of us that experienced military rule during Abacha and Babangida era,won't pray for military junta again.

you are lying the military regime that was bad was the corrupt repressive buhari regime which he repeated as a civilian president, most of the infrastructure we have today are by the military, the civilian has not been able to match them in terms of contributions to national development

helinues:
Not funny.

Everywhere is an abroad. A British residing in Nigeria is also in abroad

Na so a friend spent N30m relocating to UK with his family. He borrowed money, sold some of his things for 20hours work weekly while the wife can't work.

why can't the wife work is she disabled, with the husband study visa she can work unlimited hours,that will help the family to cope pending when the husband will graduate and start contributing

CodeTemplar:
why has subsidy not crushed Saudi and UAE or Kuwait?

You ignore the root cause of a disease and blame the symptoms in the suffers for exhibiting those symptoms instead of handling the disease.
Corruption and poor management is why subsidies choke nations. The world over, subsidy is a tool to outsmart your competitors nationally. Only here will heavily subsidized countries tell averagely subsidized ones to cancel subsidies and they will obey because of fiscal rascality.

The person you quoted is a stark illiterate with slave mentality who believed he is not good enough for anything except suffering and sorrow. Unfortunately there are many of them in the country, you can see why the country is In this mess because of this type of followers
By the way you gave him a good analogy and a food for thought

lexy2014:
Do you pray for your tailor to sew your cloth well?

Did u ever pray for your teachers to teach u well?

my brother this people are actually fools but they think they are wise unfortunately they are in majority in the country hence the state of the nation

Think9ja:
After 8yrs, he should still continue because he's who?

No matter how good he thinks he is, someone in this Nigeria is a thousand times better than him

He is even not good just hype,compare him to Ambode, and asses his 8 years as minister, you will notice its all noise, because of his oratory prowess as a lawyer and good use of the media for which apc is the grandmaster,nothing else

Beremx:
The ministerial list is okay. There are more of technocrats than politicians. I hope they deliver and shun corruption.

I'm not happy Babatunde Fashola didn't make the list. He's one of the best Nigeria has.

please who are the technocrats, una Don Starr the hype again, like he hit the ground running, the effect is reverberating everywhere now

NairaGPT:
The effect of this policy:

1. Borrowing becomes costlier: Poor individuals who rely on loans or credit for various needs may face higher interest rates on their loans. This can lead to increased repayment burdens and make it more difficult for them to access credit for essential expenses or investments.

2. Reduced spending power: As borrowing costs rise, overall consumer spending may decrease. This can lead to higher prices for goods and services, affecting the purchasing power of the poor and potentially making it harder for them to afford basic necessities.

3. Impact on employment: If businesses face higher borrowing costs due to increased interest rates, they may be less likely to expand or invest in new projects. This can result in slower job growth or even job losses, affecting the employment prospects of the poor.

it seems Tinubu inherit Buhari's advisers ,this policies will continue to create hardship, now if Petroleum importers have to source funds at high interest rate add to high exchange rate please tell me the outcome on Petroleum prices,the people of Nigeria are on a long thing may God help us

slimfit1:
If Buhari doesn't go to Hague nobody should go after Puting.

honestly that idiot of a human being deserves it,very evil,he has never been associated with any good in his life and unfortunately he has a long life

BabaRamota1980:
Above, the court inspects to see if the candidate met eligibility to stand for election.

Do you Obidients noticed what happened there? Matter os qualification, or not, is of less concern to them. If you want to question qualification go to INEC. When you are in court it is about candidate's eligibility as a Nigerian, of age, and with minimum qualification.

Tinubu passed eligibility check. Any matter of qualification Obi and LP should go iron it out with INEC.




Below, they say respondent will be denied fair hearing if a Election Petition Court will engage itself in deep dive and start digging into evidence which are unrelated to their primary role as adjudicators for Election irregularities.

Wole Olanipekun was correct afterall when he said petitioners failed to bring issues of irregularities but instead went on fishing expedition overseas.

you are very wrong matter of qualification is one of the grounds to challenge the outcome of an election it has been ruled severally as a pre and post election matter,that is it can be brought up before an election or after the elections

LADEMINUS:
Trump Inc was just found guilty of tax evasion and conspiracy to defraud the government and ordered to may 10s of millions in fines....


He is the likely next president of the USA. I hope that clears up the civil forfeiture issues for all. Secondly, there is a statute of limitation for that offence in this country and in the USA - 10yrs.

That's why Hamza El Mustapha can run for office. So onto the next one. Sadly, the court will side with the ruling party on this one

Al mustapha was pardoned,that is like he was never convicted,reason he could stand for elections

Acekidc4:
The Same thing i have been telling them, it's for a while, Endure!! Endurance no dey kill person Na!! Just Small Endure Una don dey shout Upandan like say Dem collect Una Lives. Weak People everywhere.

you guys forgot you told us the same thing through out buhari 8years ,now you have started again, is this the only thing your party can offer, as if we not seen other government In Nigeria before, the juju you guys take hold Nigeria will soon clear because this is not ordinary eye ,it hardly happens for people to return a failed party to power

Realguyman1:
Yeye talk... I went to Sagamu today to work for a company at the Lagos Ibadan expressway and when I was coming back to Lagos I cross to the other side opposite the company to stand along to wait for motor and I was able to see that small danfo bus (kuruke) coming from Ibadan.

We were going when the kuruke bought fuel along the way after the Sagamu interchange and could u believe that before we get to berger the man's fuel got finish as well and he have to enter another filling station to buy fuel again.

A guy inside the bus ask the driver about the fuel he bought just now on the way and he replied"that one nor go anywhere o". And I was wondering how much he carried us and what gain will he now gain now from the journey he just took.

And when I calculated how much the man get from carrying us and how much he spent on buying only fuel, I discovered that the man gained nothing from the trip. Does it now mean that the man is lazy and not hustling?

The simple truth is that Tinubu is just another Buhari that just want to be president and nothing else. Tinubu have already show Nigerians the sign that he is a complete waste of time like Buhari with the way he kick start his government

omo your head dey there,unlike some nonentities ,you did not disappoint God for giving you brain

SemperFid:
Peter obi will not sell fuel.at 600 but approve 70bn to renovate NASS, release 35bn to legislators as palliative and discharge 40 bn to buy cars for lawmakers all withing 49 days.

Stop being very stupid. It is not helping u.

He is not likely to remove subsidy without thinking or planning, he did not give time frame to remove it despite promising its removal, its possible he did it in a proper manner by putting the necessary things in place before removal, even the high cost of foreign exchange adds to increase cost,he may not devalue the naira as Tinubu did

GeneralDae:
So if you were president and you had two options. Remove subsidy now or go bankrupt within 3 months, what would you have done?

That was not the option before him,he just wanted to show us he has courage at the expense of the people, he wanted to get international support to consolidate himself in power, nothing urgent about it ,why did the country not collapse since buhari and others have been pushing it forward
The government is not suppose to be importing Petroleum products that it has comparative advantage in if they fail, it should not be the people that should suffer the consequences in high prices with the attendant multipler effect,besides serious countries subsidises one thing or the other for its citizens, be it health or agricultural or something beneficial for their people but here we believe we are not important to expect any benefits from government who is elected to attend to our needs to our satisfaction or be voted out
It's so pathetic, reason we always get the short end of the sticks from our leaders, they can never respect us,with these attitudes

DevilsEqual:
Lets be practical and logical, would Obi have done anything differently?
Wouldnt he have also removed the fuel subsidy(considering the fact that Buhari didnt even it in the budget from the june till year end)

Answer this question truthfully and you'll see why i said i have doubts on your deductive reasoning

anybody that acted this way would have gotten the same reaction from me, anybody that did not priories my welfare and well-being in crafting his policies can not get my support, I don't support blindly, I don't care about personality, I believe God crated us equal, therefore I can't worship anybody, a citizen should citizen well ,while a leader should lead well

Roger3D:
I just checked the Euro to Naira exchange rate and found it is 1 Euro to 861 Naira. Last night it was 853 naira. This CBN policy of floating our currency is dumb until I stand to be corrected 6 months from now., we are heading for a disaster. I really feel sorry for you guys back in the fatherland who are about to witness the ravages of inflation as the months go by.

its a very dumb policy actually, it was never in the interest of the people despite the propaganda to ram it down the throat of the people it was meant to consolidate Tinubu shaky presidency,to position him as a guy the West and multilateral agencies can deal with, he was looking for international support
You devalue your currency when you are an exporting nation not an importing nation like Nigeria
I am yet to know what benefits will accrue to the country except portfolio investment,

DevilsEqual:
U must be an Igbo man cause its obvious u lack proper sense of judgement

How do i judge or compare a reign thats not even 3months yet when he still constitutionally has 3years and 10months to use

U mean, whatever human saviour u believe in would have done magic to improve the economic standards in less than 90days?

Agan, Ive never seen an igbo man with excellent deductive reasoning

you see the way you guys have been brain washed is very frightening, I fear for the future of this country, because of the benefits of few individuals who do not care about commoners like you ,everything Is now viewed from the prism of Ethnicity, any rational, or reasonable person or who does not agree with your reasoning is igbo as if its a crime to be igbo, I am yoruba ,I am driven by excellence not tribe,because that will not put food on my table or improve my welfare but good governance will, despite being a yoruba man, I don't personally know Tinubu therefore I cannot directly benefit from him, except he governors well, that is why that is my concern
A government that takes action on impulse without planning is not acting well
The action of the government has caused serious hardship in the land from astronomical cost of air fair both local and international, to local transportation, to food prices,to cost of doing business, to cost of health including drugs,in other climes this are problems that leaders are elected to solve but in Nigeria we believe in strong leaders who inflict pain on the people, while the enjoy opulence.

DevilsEqual:
Of all possible govt indices you can use to compare both, u decided to use just one to judge

I swear, The day an intelligent igbo man is born, that would be the end of the world

Omo, this people poor for philosophy, statistical analysis and politics...even Literture dem no see Nobel prize win

Empty tribe

Don't browbeat him counter his analysis to show how Tinubu has improved Nigerians life better than buhari,don't turn it to ethnic issues, use logic and fact if you have anything meaningful to say

seunmsg:
If the election is invalidated on the ground of substantial noncompliance with the electoral act, a fresh election involving all the candidates will be ordered and not a rerun election.

So, was the noncompliance with one of the revulsions (not constitutional or electoral act provisions) substantial enough to affect the result of the election? How exactly did the failure of INEC to upload result to IREV from polling units affect the outcome of the election? So, why will the Supreme Court want to throw the entire country into chaos and political instability over something that did not affect the result of the election?

why are you afraid of re run, when it is your people that will be in charge, it be like Tinubu electing himself, status quo remains, no shaking

nairalanda1:
Actually, we don't have enough money.

With a tax to gdp ratio of 10.86% , and an economy reliant on oil, plus looting after the fact.....

That's how bad it is.

the same story again, this are mere statistics, the person you quoted was spot on,he has said it all,not all this text book theories,that have never worked, at least in Nigeria

Reference:
And I also respectfully disagree with you with the facts that,

Until Nigeria operates the FOI Act without equivocation to thoroughly x-ray public finances from income to expenditure in the most transparent and accountable manner.

Until the preparation and execution of the Federal Budget is made to tally with the true position of our income and expenditure addresses our express developmental needs and NO MORE,

Until the overbloated, inefficient government apparatus is constituted with the efficiency of the private sector and the cost of administering this country is fixed at a set percentage of our income and NO MORE, such that lavish and ostentatious living amongst top civil servants and politicians is ground to a halt.....

Then I will never accept that Nigeria does not have enough money. For we can all pretend and join government to live a lie. Leadership is not more important than the citizens, period.

They say Nigeria is broke and Nigerians should live an austere life but not them.

4 trillion will be saved over the next 12 months. That is enough to make a substantial difference in the finances of Nigeria and enough to kick start any developmental program. They don't need to draw more blood from the fainting citizens in the form of taxes. Let us see what will be done with the trillions saved first.

I have never seen a developing or aspiring country where government is many times larger than the rest of the country. Here government commandeers every single resource out of the ground, out of the air and out of the minds of the citizens yet is relinquishing almost every corporate responsibility is has. Where is all the money going.

The government are responding to the type of citizens they have, they have realised that the more comfortable the people are the more they agitate and revolt,but the more pain they receive, the more pliable and compliant they are,even give excuses for why the government is purnishing them,that its for their good,and for their benefit, that they should endure,in that way they government gets to serve out his time with minimal distraction,if in doubt check condition under Jonathan, check people reaction,check condition under Buhari check people reaction,check condition under Tinubu, check people reaction, it is consistent, its the people, Nigerians don't like leaders that have empathy,they call them weak,they prefer the task masters, they called them strong and courageous
