Marginalisation of Igbos is worse under Tinubu government. I hope the Yorubas are seeing it?
What did Tinubu benefit from his previous support for Igbos?

Only the hate of the same people he accommodated in his administration as Lagos Governor.

The builder himself, he forgets so soon the law of karma, that what you wish, always find its way crawling back to you. grin grin grin grin grin grin
He is already on course to execute the exact type of revolution that has been credited to him in 2014.

Starting with eradicating the stranglehold that PDP had on Nigeria less than a year later in 2015.

A man of his words.

He said, “The longer they rule, the less benefit the people derive. Nigeria now needs a ‘common sense revolution,’ a revolution that calls forth a return to decency, probity, transparency of process and fairness in outcome.

“This is done not by subterfuge, divide and rule and turning Nigeria in a field of discord or a street of broken institutions. It is accomplished by honouring the principles of democratic good governance and economic justice. It is done by persuading the people they are better off as one instead of better off tearing at one another’s throats.

“Nigerians should be prepared for change. We must rescue Nigeria from those set to cause it irreparable harm. The change I talk about is the only route to our deliverance from 16 years of the PDP locusts. Nigeria is ours to keep and its democracy is ours to save.”

He advised that this year’s Independence Day should be a time of sober reflection because other countries that received independence at the same time as Nigeria had since surpassed the country.

He described the Nigeria of today as the nightmare of its founding fathers. Tinubu further berated the PDP-led Federal Government of using religion to divide Nigerians.
We can see that Tinubu has remained steadfast and is implementing the things he advocated for as a revolution.

He was instrumental in helping us get rid of PDP to begin the change that has stsrted since the Buhari regime.

He has also remembered the natiinal anthem of the Nigerian independence and restored it.

He is already on course to restructure Nigeria.

All of this was done democratically and constitutionally, without any insurrection or subterfuge.

A man of his words, who knows his way and knows that time will have to pass to get to the promised land.

How many if his peers are that patient and remain with their conviction of a noble ambition?

So Makinde is right on this.

Focus on the message and leave the messenger.
But is he not collecting LGA funds and singlehandedly deciding what they will receive out of what is already theirs?

That power has been neutralised by the Supreme Court.

As though their previous total control of LGA funds was able to prevent the hunger in the land.
Politics › Re: LG Autonomy Judgement A Distraction, there Is hunger In The Land - Makinde by Throwback: 4:05pm On Jul 13, 2024
Even with the hunger in the land that we all acknowledge, let there still be autonomy for the LGAs.

OK!

Kingsmeal:
Oyo state isn't among states running CTC.

So Makinde is right on this.

But him like all the other Governors, will no longer control the funds of the local governments like they have been doing even with elected LGA officials.

So he is obviously at a heightened state of disillusion and disenchantment with the landmark ruling of the Supreme Court.

Politics › Re: Tinubu Government Is Run By Least Competent Citizens And Thieves, Says Ndume by Throwback: 6:13am On Jul 13, 2024
helinues:
Ndume is already taken things personally.

grin
Very personal I must say.

He thinks he can harass Tinubu the way Kwankwaso was using Kano votes to harass and subdue Jonathan to the point where Jonathan sacked the newly appointed Festus Odimegwu from the National Population Commission, just to please Kwankwaso.

Still, Kwankwaso left PDP for APC with his Kano votes in 2014.

Senator Ali Ndume lamented the inaccessibility of the current president, unlike during former President Olusegun Obasanjo's tenure, where senators could meet with the president within 24 hours.

He said during Obasanjo’s administration, if a senator wanted to see the president within 24 hours, “nobody will ask him what do you want to see Mr President for, he made sure within 24 hours that any senator has access to him”.

He said, “Ministers go in and out. Obasanjo as old he is, he was older than President Tinubu - you talk to the people, hear from the people and that is politics but now to me it seems beside shielding Mr President they always give him assurance that everything is alright out there and that is not the case."
Daniel Bwala has rightly identified the selfishness of Ndume.

Arapmoi22:
In all truthfulness, Peter held the LG erection two months to the end of his 8 year term in office.
LG Erection was conducted on 11th January, 2014 and Peter left office on 14th March, 2014.
This is the reason he kept kwayet about Supreme Court Judgement on LG financial autonomy.
Meaning, he only did so when he knew his own regime was already on the way out.

He wanted to have total power, but against the constitution, and then did not want his self installed successor to enjoy such power, so he made sure he supervised the elections of those who would be at the local governments when he had left office.

Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in a post on his Facebook page labeled Ndume as a "loose cannon and careless talker".


He wrote "Senator Ali Ndume has a horrible reputation for being a loose cannon and careless talker. His capacity for introspection is too low. People like him only remember the poor and the fact that "Nigerians are suffering" when their personal agenda and indulgences can't be met".

"Senator Ndume does not remember the poor and their children when it is time to fix his own children into CBN, NNPC and other choice MDAs and state owned enterprises".I People like him only remember the poor and the fact that "Nigerians are suffering" when their personal agenda and indulgences can't be met".

He rejected Abacha award because he felt Nigerians are hugary and insecure but will received Tinubu award when Nigerians are dying of hunger. I hate any man that is tribalistic which the prof represent.
Was Abacha a democratic and legitimate regime?

Is the Tinubu democratic regime assassinating anyone or arresting anyone for not supporting the government?

So why lie that he opposed Abacha because Nigerians were dieing of hunger?

You are the trbalist and fascist here.

It is not by force for all Nigerians to support the presidential candidate you supported.

You are right, as many in Africa got it for Peace before he got it for Literature.

The 2nd black person in the whole world to get a Nobel prize in an academic field after the American Economist who got it for Economics.

The first black person to get it for Literature.

Just because he is shedding light on Peter Obi, you want him to be lynched?

Would it not have been a better injection into the Nigerian economy, if those given the paltry sum of N50k as business grants, were actually given N500k with money used to subsidise pilgrimage?

Pilgrimage is a personal desire.

A law must be passed to stop all states and federal government from spending public funds on any sort of pilgrimage financing.

Yet cannot pay a livable minimum wage?

What is the benefit of the hajj and any other pilgrimage to the economy of Nigeria?

When will our leaders learn that we are not a rich country that can afford all of these wastes?

I know the hypocrite who purchased over 450 SUVs for traditional leaders in Anambra, will also come out to complain about waste, as if he is not one and same with the wasteful political leadership of this country.

At the exchange rate that is prevailing in the banking system.

If you are educated and exposed, you will realise that economic security and stability is a component of National Security.

Go watch the movie, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, so you can learn about economic security as, part of the larger National Security.

Guy, even Food Security is part of National Security.

Which is why Ribadu with his EFCC background is the right fit for the NSA role in these times of economic sabotage.

Do you know that in the USA, the office of the National Security Adviser is closely monitoring the Americans stock exchanges?
