COMRADES, imagine as popular as I am today, then suddenly my people should see me on EFCC's mugshot as a 'criminal'. Honestly, I don't know what else will be my second thought

oga populae i hail ooo

Ipisi:
SOme people above me are talking in the nonsense

If you hate Trump , go and drink poison ooo

South Africa is useless to Trump. . .

If America wants South Africa's Diamond or Gold, America can get it anytime, anyday

how many times you wan type the same thing . we don hear you , oya go and drink poison

pook:
Hear yourself talk and spit saliva like a faucet.

1. Do you know how many Nigerians are in the sashet water business?

2. Do you know how many Nigerians are employed through the sashet water business.

3. Do you know how much Sashet water as reduced cholera, and many water borne illnesses ravaging your state of origin since it became the fastest source of clean water.

4. Where do you want people to get clean source of water or did you think it's everyone that has borehole at home.

Talk like a human with empathy next time dingbat.

something is killing nigerians but because some people are making money off it we should continue using it . No country outside africa uses sachet water even though it is the most convenient and cheapest way to store water because the health and environmental impact in the long run is not worth it . Nigerians were drinking water before sachet water became a thing and we had extremely low rates of cancer or heart diseases cancer no even dey back then. Nigerians should go back to boiling their drinking water if need be.And i no insult you ooo but as you don learn new word for dictionary we no go here word OGA DINGBAT ELENU FIFE BI APO SEMO

emmabest2000:
Tpain era
Na era people do drink sachet water half and keep half inside their trouser pocket to drink again later

microplastics exposure is linked to cancer, heart attacks, reproductive problems and a host of other problems. That pure water is the major source of micro plastic absorption into our body here in nigeria. look at the rate at which people are having cancer and heart disease in nigeria yet you want the government to encourage it . The drainage systems in nigeria are filled with pure water nylon and na citizens throw am for there , but when rain start and everywhere gets flooded you all will blame the government.

KingGBsky:
Can Tinubu tackle anything? A clueless criminal Buffon working for France. How can a man who does not have any clue of what to do with governance except for stealing and allowing others to steal with total and complete confidence knowing fully well the yahoo boys pursuing EFCC is off their reach.

government pays power debt see what you are commenting. Read what you wrote again and judge yourself. Them suppose dey wipe some of una oriamo cord every morning, why will you hate your country so much that you can't even celebrate her little wins.

Empresa:
The funny thing is that someone actually went to Egypt to understudy how to move Nigeria from 40gwh to 215gwh but the Nigerian people preferred a person with no idea of Nigerian problem.

Later they will go to church to pray PHCN gives them light to charge their phones

The person that went to Egypt and the ones presently in power are not different. all of them na same same .

anonimi:
What is our per capita power produced, i.e. total power generated divided by population?

Does it show we are giant of light or that we are giants of darkness, 11 years after we bought the change dummy of All Promises Cancelled, APC


>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

everything shouldn't be about politics . The stats show we are over populated, even if we are able to generate more power if we do not control our population there will still not be enough power to go round . Nigeria needs to generate more power while educating people to stop having too many kids

Hahahaaha, people like u make me laugh. Govt is not spoon feeding anyone. The duty of govt all over the world is to make the environment conducive for business to strive.
U mentioned u have a friend who has done this and that, then why is ur naira falling? It is trading almost at 1500 today. After all the gragra by gvt, it still failing. Do u know why? Ur country is poor in manufacturing.
Without electricity, there cant be strong manufacturing base. The people u mentioned are like drop of water in the ocean. U need strong Science driven society to achieve development.
Can u produce smart TV in mass? Can ur society convert ur raw materials into finished goods?
Farmlands have been raised and destroyed by herdsmen, that is a big issue. I can get killed in my farmland, my investments can be destroyed by cows. These are the issue. Gvt needs to fix these things, they are paid to do so, but they wont and people like u think people are lazy? Nigerians are among the most hard working set in this life. If i tell how I grew my self within the past 5 years, u wont believe. Not many countries have such hard working citizens. Nigeria govt failed her people

like i said in an earlier post , the important thing is balancing our trade deficits and i believe that will happen in the next 5 to 10 years .
Yes nigerians are hardworking but you see these present set of younger nigerians are the laziest i have seen , all they know is social media , likes and views no skill no vision nothing dey their he*d.
Also ease of doing business in nigeria had greatly improved the only major issue we have is insercurity and i believe we will overcome . before you say i'm an Apc supporter or obident mob , my loyalty is to my country , leaders / government will come and go but Nigeria will remain , we all need to understand that . See the likes of dangote and other great nigerians doing great things , even if they are making money they are improving the lives of other nigerians imagine every nigerian went out everyday looking to improve the lives of others but no they would rather sit behind their phones jobless and blame the government for everything. politicians are selfish people both home and abroad , even if you change leaders 100 times people we will probably only get 1 or maybe 2 good leaders . it's the sad reality .

Igbofirstfarmer:
i am talking about Nigeria problems, mosques are being demolished in China also.

the same way muslims are being killed along side christians by terrorists in nigeria . there are about 5 churches destroyed for every single mosque destroyed in china but according to you they are not targeting christians but in nigeria far more muslims have lost their lives to terrorist than christians but it's the christians that are being targeted. 🤔 hmmm

Jeezuzpick:
Who are the people who bring in the most Naira and spend the most Dollars?

The politicians, of course!

It's actually the importers

Princedapace:
Without science and sound agricultural system, nigeria will never achieve development, even if she taxes are citizens 80 percent of their personal income and other taxes.
Invest in sound education and prriotize science, makers agriculture attractive for young people. Take one thing ur citiznes import a lot, call ur professors in ur FG universities to round table talk, tell them who ever has the framework to replicate that will be given grant, and good money. Let them go to do their research, produce a prototype, mass produce it, gradually, ur citiznes will start using that insteead of importing. Get lands and give out for free to certain age bracket solely for agriculture, provide the incetive for the business and let them pay gradually back at good rate.

brother you are late to the party , a lot of young people are already investing in agriculture. i have a friend who has invested over 150 million in agriculture in the last 3 years , i also have another friend who exports tons of cashew nuts and sesame seeds. everything no be government, agriculture na business at the end of the day .
while some people are waiting for government to spoon feed them others see opportunity and invest. The only thing government can do is give agricultural loans to already established farmers . My guy collected over 50millon in agric loans last year. There is no how nigeria won't import , we cannot produce everything we consume, the most important thing is to balance our trade deficits, export as much as we import .

dalass:
The crude/ refined oil cost which used to take our dollars out was the main culprit. But now, our crude and refined oil products are attracting forex inflow, so the dollar should naturally come down against the naira

Glad to see a sensible comment , we also need to increase are non oil exports to attract more forex inflow . The naira will gradually come down to its real value over time not that foreign reserve backed 200 naira to a dollar we had in 2014 .

tctrills:
Oga lets educate you, you are the one misinformed by the media.
So, I will not use the media; I will use unbiased AI to verify.

Based on preliminary data for 2025, violent crime in the United States reached its lowest rate in over 30 years.

The Downward Trend Since 1990
The early 1990s were the "peak" of violent crime in modern American history. Since then, there has been a dramatic decline, often referred to by sociologists as the "Great Crime Decline."
Why 2025 is a Landmark Year
While the official 2025 year-end report from the FBI usually takes a few months to be finalized, data from the FBI's Quarterly Uniform Crime Report and the Council on Criminal Justice show:

Homicides: By the end of 2025, homicide rates in many major cities (like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago) dropped below their 2019 (pre-pandemic) levels.

Violent Crime Rate: The overall violent crime rate per 100,000 people in 2025 is estimated to be lower than at any point in the 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s.

The "Post-Pandemic" Correction: The spike that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic has effectively been reversed in most categories of violent crime.

The Verdict: If your starting point is 1990, you are correct. You are living through one of the safest periods in the last three and a half decades.


Now lets talk exports
Again, you are wrong
In 2025, total US export values increased, continuing a growth trend that began in 2024. While final audited figures are typically refined throughout the first quarter of 2026, preliminary data shows that the US benefited from several key economic factors.

The 2025 Export Landscape
The total value of US exports for 2025 rose by approximately 3% to 4% compared to 2024. This growth was driven by three main sectors:

Energy Exports: The US remained a top global exporter of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and crude oil. Increased demand from Europe and parts of Asia kept the value of these exports high.

Services: High-value service exports—including software, intellectual property, and financial services—saw a significant boost as global digital transformation continued.

Aerospace & Tech: A recovery in aircraft deliveries and continued demand for advanced semiconductors (AI chips) added billions to the export total.

Finally, let's talk Peace deals
Again, you fail

Here is the list
The Gaza-Israel Permanent Ceasefire & Reconstruction Deal
Iran–Israel War Ceasefire (June 24, 2025)
DRC–Rwanda Peace Agreement (June 27 / December 4, 2025)
Armenia–Azerbaijan Peace Accord (August 2025)
Cambodia–Thailand Ceasefire (October 26, 2025)
India–Pakistan Tensions (2025)

This is more than any human in recorded History

Let me know if you need more education.
You are welcome

do a little research. I would chose Forbes over any A.I .
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenroberts/2026/01/24/its-not-just-soybeans-us-exports-of-cars-to-china-at-16-year-low/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjdt9mwk6mSAxUgU0EAHVIEA88QFnoECAcQAg&usg=AOvVaw0ScIBYA4ZGnizURh4HS_gx

You listed 2 wars and 4 conflicts , 6 ceasefires in total where is the 8 wars that have been stopped. Like I said the media repeats something long enough people start believing it .

Go and ask your AI if violent crime has been steady declining since 2021 ? You trying to say crime rate just started going down when trump became president is absolutely wrong .
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/us/murder-rate-drop-report.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj38sbdlamSAxXDTkEAHZQlJpUQFnoECBMQAg&usg=AOvVaw2axZM34njUV37WaDauj6DP

tctrills:
They are also wondering when people like you will get sense. In just one year, Trump has reduced violent crime in the US to its lowest since 1990. The US economy is growing at a faster rate than in the Biden economy. Inflation is less than Biden left it, but somehow, you want us to hate the man who ended 8 wars.

Your comment actually shows how powerful the media is , you repeat something so many times to peoples hearing at some point that start believing it .

Of the 35 cities whose homicide rates were in the analysis, all but eight had a lower murder rate in 2025 than before the pandemic, violent crime was already trending downwards since Biden administration so it not only a trump thing.

US Inflation and Trade deficit is low 2.7%because export value is low 37%. if the export value drops 37% it means the foreign consumer is paying 37% less for American goods which isn't a good thing the US has lost 37% of its exports . The US now has more(excess) of it's own goods to consume. It's basic economics the higher the supply the lower the price .

There has only been 6 ceasefire in trumps present tenure , only one was a war stopped ( Iran vs Israel) russia and Ukraine have broken their ceasefire and are back to throwing bombs at each other

Igbofirstfarmer:
genocide is happening everyday in northern Nigeria against Christian minority, does it concerns you the answer is no cause Christians are not human your headache is far away palistian.

Christians are being prosecuted in china ,churches destroyed and sent to detention camps . Una master no see that now .

SmartPolician:
America is a very enlightened society and I strongly believe that the vast majority of them support what Trump is doing.

I mean, who wouldn't? Why would I let anyone enter or live in my country without proper documentation? The only challenge here is that our African brothers and sisters are also targeted due to our bad leaders.

If they didn't like the idea, they would've been on the streets protesting.

you wouldn't let anyone live in your country without proper documentation but it is your bad government that forced your African brothers and sisters to flee to another man's country without proper documentation?

99thEnemy:


Una wan start World War III abi?

September 13, 2007, abi na 9/11 you prefer?

but truly kobo na ancestor for here. Next year she go enter two decades for nairaland , SEUN suppose give her lifetime award.

givedemwotowoto:
Which one is your local government from that list, and who is the coordinator? Let's start from there.

really? Na here you wan carry ball hang ?
Just move along I don't waste my time with people who have rigid ego.

franchasng:
Kwankwaso should better hurry up and join the ADC moving train to save his own head in Kano state before it's too late.

kwankwaso will remain in NNPP , his candidate will win then gubernatorial election. But ADC will fail and it will be solely because of the obident mobs . It will take a while before we gets a proper opposition .

givedemwotowoto:
Agbadorians already voted 100% Agbado now which wasn't enough to win Lagos, why do you want to drag Yorubas into Agbadorian tomfoolery?

it's just common sense , how would you feel if someone named Yusuf ayinda is named the local government coordinator in you village, Wetin do all the indigenous youths wey dey your village? You know they call you chinedu omo Igbo yet you present a list with a lot of Igbos. The guy is not ready for politics , ADC better find another candidate.

This guy is obviously a very stubborn guy, he obviously didn't learn anything from the last election .
How do you repeat the same thing that cost you the last election and expect a different result . He should just focus on his business and not waste his money because he just gave the opposition the election on a platter of gold . Who are his advisers ?

SeeWahala:
Do they have a choice? 🤷🏾‍♂️

See Obiedun, a staunch APC RoNu alakuba e-bot . . . his village is currently surrounded by the terrorists and his folks destabilized he was once screaming vehemently against USA coming to collect his 'natural resources'

BUT TODAY

He's a very loud advocate for the bombing of the terrorists in his village by the same USA he was castigating 🤗

but the truth is this is what they wanted from the get go. The Christian genocide was just a stepping stone . The US is just trying to counter China's influence in Africa and get some resources along the way . China has been demolishing churches , arresting pastors and locking them up in detention camps also burning crosses but the US no see that one . Only European media carried the news, dont the Christians in China deserve to be saved too? But some nitwits in Nigeria are happy that the US supposedly want to liberate people here

Originalsly:
The US have never been successful in defeating terrorists ...or guerilla warfare. Why do we think they will in Nigeria? What you mentioned was one of the reasons they were unsuccessful in Afghanistan...the enemy within..All this talk about Christian genocide is a front. Couldn't they help fix our electricity problem? ...our water problem? ...joint agreement on proper road construction? ...why is it always about military and resources? Let's watch and see them set up a large military base in th North ...including a drone base to fight the Islamic terrorists when in fact it will be to destabilize Traoré and company and have control in the region. Then watch out for Bill Gates to have huge commercial farms in the fertile north ...producing and distributing his population control fruits to Nigerian.

most Nigeria have brains but can't think

Gerrard59:
You're actually eating healthy and living well.

My brother I just prioritize what is important to me which is a roof over my head , good food , good health and saving towards my retirement . I no dey follow anybody drag mansion , Benz or iPhone 17.

Gerrard59:
Then, why not put off those devices when you aren't around and power them when you are at home? Maximum of six hours won't degrade their quality.

If you ask for a degrade, then it means you don't have the finances (I don't mean any insult here) to sustain constant electricity or you're not using it for something useful.

constant electricity is expensive . If your yearly income was 200 million a year will you be willing to pay 18 million in electricity bill a year ? That 1.5m a month. I know someone that was paying that a year and he was from his place I learnt I to remove fuse . If odogwu dey comot fuse to reduce his electricity bill who am I not to do the same . Common man like me .

physics12:
How does this concern a candidate who lost election?
If our leaders are doing well with economy, then we will all be able to pay for band A even A+. Nigerians are very hard working people. You don't need to be told, but bad leadership erodes the gains of our hard work. Let the leaders go to work, improve economy and purchasing power and leave d rest for hardworking Nigerians

I know someone abroad who hasn't put on his AC and refrigerator since winter started so that he can save money on his electricity bill. we all need to drop this mindset of if our leaders are doing well everybody be able to afford this and that . Not everybody will be rich , hardwork doesn't automatically equate success. Yes we need to hold our leaders accountable but at the same time we need to teach Nigerian to be content and live below your means . The average Nigerian want to blow just so they can oppress other Nigerians . You see someone with just 100million naira buying a car of 30-35 million is that not madness.nobody wants to work everybody they find quick wealth yet blaming the government for not being able to afford basic things. Our leaders get for body but Nigerians sef get for body .

LagosOrigin:
So the wretched looking things in the picture are what makes you think that you're rich.

I saw "Ogi" and some other cheap stuffs there and you feel you've arrived.

Between yesterday and today, I spent over 200k on shoppings and I get receipt to back it all up. But that doesn't mean I will leave meter reading when I'm not at home.

You no get level guy

haaa lagos origin you dey one room for village dey lie for us. Everything in my freezer are inside containers or nylons named and dated that's why you saw ogi, how I wan take remember Wetin dey there if I don't tag it . I don't buy pap 200 akara 300 for local vendors like you , I make mine myself .I haven't eaten outside in over 5 years , I don't even take alcohol or soft drinks na fruits i dey always blend .Everything I eat I cook at home . I don't even eat cow meat . All the rubbish in that freezer is what I eat . And in my mind I know I'm doing okay , wealth is relative .

Azazyel:
In my compound, I share the meter with a neighbor in another flat and we usually don't spend more than 35k monthly altogether. Infact, sometimes we spend less than 30k. There was a month we even spent 20k last year. We both got power usage monitors and installed them so I pay for only what I consumed. Most times sef I don't recharge more than 12k in a month so my neighbor even uses it more and thank God for the power usage monitors. Whenever I go to work, I turn off all appliances till I come back. Whenever I'm around on weekends, I sometimes turn off electricity using the changeover for a while before putting it back on again.

OMO I do that too on weekends, if it's a sunny weekend I just remove the fuse from the meter

AlphaMale666:
I keep seeing thread stupid people keep created and it's getting me so agitated! Saying stupid things like "40, single, no job bullshit. You should be happy you're still single and that age. Do you know how good it is to be single? Especially if you're a man?. Marriage is not an achievement! Anybody can get married! So stop with the rubbish talks please! Enjoy your single life and stop coming here to rant about stupid things!

na old age when your kids are grown you go realise say marriage dey important

Azazyel:
Look I don't care about tinubu or any other contestant. Hope you know that constant power supply is expensive. Are most Nigerians willing to pay more for quality power supply? I can tell you without mincing words that many places in Lagos right now enjoy close to 24hrs light but they are paying more. In my area, we enjoy at least 20hrs light daily cos we are on band A and we recharge lots of units cos of the constant light and sometimes I even have to turn off power just to conserve units. Even areas on band B here enjoy at least 15hrs light so what are you talking about? Something happened at Ajah recently. Some of the residents marched to EKEDC office demanding to be downgraded from band A and B cos they were spending so much on electricity. Their prayers were answered and they were downgraded. Some to band C, D and E. Do you know how many places have been downgraded last year? Go to advanced countries like the US and see whether electricity is cheap then you'll understand. If you need your feeder to be upgraded, raise the discussion amongst people in charge of your area and march there to demand an upgrade but just get ready to pay more. Simple! This is not a tinubu issue. Nobody send your candidate to lose election

you are so right . I get 24 hours and I really do not see the need . Half of the time no one is at home and it's expensive. Bought 1000 units mid November for about 210k and I have 301 units left. That's about 400 units a month . Wouldn't Mind if we are downgraded. 12 hours a day is more than enough. Make them just dey bring am for evening to next morning. But the reality is that anybody who hasn't experienced constant electricity won't understand.

Freshandfitpod:
stop lying you just said for 12 days straight and now since Saturday, which one is it?

just looked online grid collapsed Friday afternoon and it was restored shortly after within 2 to 3 hours . Still my light stabl and don't even stay on the island , na turning stick I dey try use comot chicken from my freezer like this.
