And we were struggling to keep that fuel at N200 liters , by borrowing and by running up a lot of debt.

That is why GEJ wanted to remove fuel subsidy in 2012. The cost of maintaning it was running high, and we were getting into more debt. That is why past governments too wanted to remove subsidy...because the amount needed to maintain it was far too much.

And that is why tinubu removing subsidy was karma hitting him, because he opposed it in 2012, when he knew what was happening, and would have known how bad it was. And yes, it got so bad that he was forced to remove it when he came into power.

You can call me government supporter, but that N200 was really N200 plus debt and more debt.

The only way you can get cheap things in this country is not to let government control any price of anything, because na fake life e go give una.

If you wantfuel at N200 now, the government would have to take nearly half the budget to pay for the subsidy. That means a loan would be taken to cover the hole left by that payment for the subsidy..which means more debt. And if you want President Obi to do the same when he takes over, by the grace of God, next year, you want our debt to be eventually so high that it would make our current debt look like chicken feed.

I don talk my own.

P.S I can remember when coke was N1.50 and indomie was less than N3 back in the day, and back then, Nigerians were complaining the same way they are complaining under TInubu now. That tells me that we need a new leadership that would do things differently, not one that would be voted in on slogans, same way nigerians did for tinubu...see where we are now.

so what's the reality today, you incompetently removed subsidy, foolishly floated naira going on air to claim that we've cleared our debts. Now Nigeria is more indebted than we have been since independence, you keep borrowing to service the same subsidy you claimed that you removed.. oga Tinubu is a disaster, I can never for once imagine a president worse than Buhari, if Tinubu is elected honestly you'll be buying fuel at 5k a liter, that man is heartless he doesn't care about Nigerians.

wallrichy:
Patient ke! It's like you didn't listen to the incompetent President very well. He said we should continue praying for bandits and kidnappers to have a change of mind from their evil ways. After that, he now told a story of Abraham in the Bible when he wanted to sacrifice Isaac, he said God provided a ram when Abraham was almost sacrificing Isaac.... implying that the Terrorists should departs from killing people again and get something better to do.... Very stewpid incompetent creature

😆 and I was thinking he at least had a plan, even if it's a dumb one

binary123:
even before tinubu assume office most of you never wanted him because he is not obi.no matter his performance you will never like him.it is tribal hatred.we will re-vote him he has done well with his reform.

assumptions upon assumptions upon assumptions. Where's your proof that people hated him because of tribe yet the same people you accuse of hate wanted osibanjo in place of Tinubu in APC

Obaofaba:
Not everyone is bittered like you.

You hate Tinubu cos of his tribe.

We will put you all to shame next year.

keep quiet, everything is about Tribe, when someone criticizes it's because of tribe. In honesty is Tinubu performing? Even deep inside you know that Tinubu is a disaster but because he's from your tribe it's Ok, let him be there as long as Igbo doesn't. That's they twisted thinking that has brought Nigeria to this terrible level.. your see tribe before common sense.

Very inept and clueless president a perfect example of empty barrel makes the loudest voice, someone that launched a vicious campaign against GEJ with his APShit hound, let them bring out the post and call the hypocrite out... From chibok girls to Boko Haram. E reach his turn he's telling Nigerians to be patient and blaming opposition. Worst president of all time .

Kemetian:
How come Obidients always attack Tinubu for insecurity yet virtually none of them wants to join the security forces?

Who are you expecting to protect you?

I read recently that in army recruitment drives to beef up security forces, those from the SE had by far the smallest number volunteers to join the army and police.

An absolutely negligible number of volunteers, to the point of embarrassment.

One would have thought that, as the most vociferously opposed to insecurity, that they would be First in Line to volunteer their service to the nation, but the reverse is the case

So I ask once again.

Who are you demanding should protect you?

How can the people loudest in shouting "insecurity" be the least willing to join the security forces?

Or am I missing something? 🫡🫡

you that is typing where are you? Are you in the army?

Nwaikpe:
During the time of your vice president being the governor of Borno at the peak of Boko Haram,
An escape bomber, a senior boko haram member was found in the state government house.


Let that sink in.

of course kabiru sokoto, the Christmas day bomber. Responsible for madalla bombings 2012. Nigerians forget so easily, even the late 👑 Elizabeth the second of UK condemned it. I am surprised that the then Borno state governor is the same current vice president.

People don't even know what AI is anymore. Everything is AI

Make I just laugh small! Primaries is now greater than main elections...

Stellaris:
Your bitterness.. millions have been killed by ESN, Ipob in the east, dies it stop you from hallucinating

where did you get your statistics from, lemme guess lag/Ibadan exp news abi, not only millions the entire population of SE have been killed by ESN and IPOB better now

DomPerignon:
Are they not repaying their loans?

The reason SE is low on the table is because they don't generate enough money to get as much loans.

If as a salary earner, you earn 20 times above minimum wage, you can borrow more against your earnings than some one on minimum wage.

This your table has nothing to do with accountability on the part of your SE governors but just shows how poor the states they govern are.

typical SW reasoning, so we should go and indebt ourselves because we are not generating enough abi? No wonder with all the billions your region generates there's nothing absolutely nothing to show for, with the money Lagos generates alone it should compete with the likes of Qatar and Dubai..

Of course he did, from The New counting system of APC, 1, 2,3,4,5,10,25,50,800,1000,15000,50000, 150,000.......

It's only on nairaland that I see this so called beef between Igbo and Yoruba, out there everyone gets along even Peter Obi acknowledged that he has his highest support base in the southwest. It's only the likes of Tinubu and his paid urchins online and offline that are causing this tribal tension

Cherrybae:
Will you write the same thing the day NDC will do its own ordinary election where Peter Obi is the only one aspuring.

Oga, just pass the thread and keep your hate to yourself

a current president that's a sole candidate with no known challenger shouldn't waste anyone's time. As for NDC they're opposition and thus not in power so they can pick anyone as a sole candidate. Oga go and rest too and deceiving yourselves

All these are part of Tinubu's recorded achievements

Who's even challenging him in this primaries and what's the essence if I may ask? Just another avenue to loot, distract and waste money

marlow1962:
They said they're ready to drop like flies as long as obi or any igbo man rule them.
What an irony.

bro this is no time for tribal slurs, it can happen to anyone, including you typing what if the husband was an Obidient, or supported Peter obi? Please let us stop all these tribal slurs

fergie001:
Some will still defend it.
This administration will destroy every fabric of our nation.

I thought you are an APC supporter

JuanDeDios:
Or dodging Iswap and bandit bullets.

Too bad the situation in this country, hard work, bravery and courage is neglected, but thuggery, corruption and bribery is celebrated

And those that deserve the promotion would be waiting in limbo, retire at the age of 65 with peanuts as salary and pension, some even lose their lives fighting bandits. Hard work bravery and courage is neglected while thuggery corruption and bribery is celebrated. What a country

Yoruba and Fulani are one! According to Tinubu

Have you noticed that everyone is now associating with Peter obi lately, I mean there's something so special about him, from monye to Reno to fayemi very soon Daniel Bwala would talk how special Peter Obi is

Have you noticed that everyone is now associating with Peter obi lately

FSBoperator:
The lobby has failed woefully.

This is why this your brother is ranting on X his failed Christian genocide lie while you guys are deliberately trying to use his useless X post as a condemnation by the US govt.

Tinubu deployed the highest level of diplomacy to turn a false allegations against his govt by this your brother lobby slander to his advantage and this your bloda is angry because Trump is now assisting the FG and Nigerian military to destroy terrorists in place of sending US troops to come and give you Biafra.

Pathetic.

yes I agree, now tell Tinubu to prepare for his trip since Trump has invited for a high level meeting in Washington, and least I forget, in about 10days the Chicago files are expected to be released ok😁

That's rubbish, flashed is just a phrased expression, the have to know what you flashed, I flashed her can mean many things

1 I flashed a torchlight, I flashed my cash, I flashed my jewelry, you have to be specific what you flashed. Unless a dumb officer approaches you and arrest you without knowing what you meant. What if they arrest you and you didn't flash your nudes instead it was just a call?

FSBoperator:
The head of Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. is Karl Von Batten (also referred to as Dr. Karl Von Batten or Karl-Marx Edward Ikemefuna William George Okeke-Von Batten).


This is a private lobby firm that was behind the whole Christian genocide false claim and who were being paid by seccesionist to balkanize Nigeria .

damage control ain't gonna work, answer the question is there a Christian genocide or not?

10 days to the release of BAT Chicago files this one is already hyper lamenting lol interesting times ahead

SmartPolician:
Trump is now the president of Nigeria while Tinubu is his vice president. He can summon his boy whenever he likes.

BTW, I hope Trump has enough intel on how APC employed terrorists from the Sahel to distablize Nigeria under Goodluck Jonathan, which explains why Boko Haram wanted Buhari to serve as their rep during a planned negotiation deal under Jonathan.

on the contrary it's a good thing..

Wow it's about time, I love this.. Tinubu go answer oputa panel

RollinTNDA:
God don suffer

If Olosho dey knack she go shout God name
If thief is caught, their swear with God name
If politician want to win he use God name
If politician steal money, they thank God
If fake pastor need money, he use God name

Dem don reduce God to boy boy for naija
No single respect

honestly, even Jesus would be weeping seeing this show of blasphemy. If not for the violence associated with Islam I respect that religion. You can never see Muslims praising Allah all in the name of politics.

PigTormentor:
Anyone with an ounce of sense already knows that Obi will.lose again, he will go back on TV and cry rigging even though he's going to try more rigging than all other candidates.

yes he'll lose with his head high and decorated with integrity unlike your Bulabu that will snatch, grab and run to win in shame
