Which Mod hide my comment and why?

Because I said he meant to say Biafrans and not Nigerians


Lmfao

because you are known for rubbish comments.

This is not a playground for kids.

Go outside and play with sand.

I wonder who gave a kid an internet enabled device.

Christians are a nuisance wherever they find themselves

I’ll rather be a nuisance than a terrorist/killer.😁

AdolfHitlerxXx:
He has been threatened and cajoled

I am pro APC but there is no reason why this case should not be prosecuted.

It is the duty of Police, a family can't and shouldn't stop investigations.

The picture of the girl is hospital scrubs looks AI generated. What is a physiotherapist doing with a syringe?

Why was she posted to Ebonyi all the way from Kaduna? She was a HK pure and simple. But she should not lose her life because of that

Cover your face in shame, Mr. Pro APC.

This is what the party you support is full of.

E go reach your turn as Una no wan get sense.

Make them give the oyo kidnap victims 60m use 100m for their nonsense…everything no be government

Make dem carry 60m give kidnap victims, while your slave masters keep stealing and stashing away the money meant to protect its citizens abi?

You always know when an APC supporter talks.

It’s like one screw don loose for your head.

CharlesCNG:
The problem is that you cannot see what you have already decided not to see.

Nobody is saying Nigerians are not suffering. Nobody is saying poverty is not high. Even the World Bank says poverty remains high and that macro gains must translate faster to households. But the same World Bank also acknowledges that the reforms since 2023 have helped stabilise the economy. You cannot quote only the pain and pretend the stabilisation does not exist.

You say roads are less than 10% completed-absolutely not true.
Over 2,700km of roads are under development. That is not “nothing”; it is work in progress.

On poverty, yes, the figures are painful. The World Bank estimated poverty rose to about 63% in 2025. But serious people ask why: inflation shock, weak productivity, inherited structural failure, subsidy distortion, low revenue, insecurity and poor social protection delivery.
Partisan people simply shout “Tinubu destroyed everything.”

You also keep asking about crude-backed repayment. Fine. Ask for repayment schedule and transparency. But that does not cancel the fact that the Afreximbank facility was publicly documented as a $3.3bn NNPC crude-prepayment facility, with initial disbursement disclosed.

The honest position is simple: Nigerians are still hurting, but there are signs of stabilisation — inflation easing, reserves rising, investor confidence improving, roads ongoing, and fiscal reforms taking shape.

Your position is also simple: if it is Tinubu, it must be fraud.

But any candidate who can do better than Tinubu must show me exactly how he will do better, not just shout that Tinubu has failed.

What will he do differently?

Will he reverse subsidy removal? If yes, where will he get the money to fund it?

Will he re-peg the naira artificially? If yes, how will he stop another FX backlog?

Will he reduce borrowing? Good. What spending will he cut? Salaries? Capital projects? Security? Debt service?

Will he fight insecurity? Fine. What is his position on state police, intelligence reform, border control, technology, local recruitment and forest policing?

Will he grow the economy? Excellent. What is his plan for power, manufacturing, exports, agriculture, mining, tax reform and investor confidence?

That is the alternative I am looking for — not anger, not insults, not “anybody but Tinubu.”

For now, I see Tinubu attempting painful structural reforms: subsidy removal, FX reform, tax reform, local government autonomy, student loans, infrastructure push, and now state police. Are they perfect? No. Are Nigerians still suffering? Yes. Must government do more? Absolutely.

But I will not abandon a difficult reform path simply because someone offers sweeter slogans without a costed plan.

So bring me a candidate with better structure, better courage, better policy, better coalition and better implementation capacity. I will listen.

Until then, my position remains this: Nigeria needs alternatives, but the alternative must be viable — not emotional packaging with no engine.

You do know you don’t need this long rubbish you wrote if these achievements are real ?

You go explain Taya . No evidence.

HacheNoire:
Because you have failed to see it!

With the whole infrastructural projects going on across the country, you still cannot see anything.

You better start appreciating His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).

Do you know our TOTAL debt is not up to what the US pays as INTEREST on her total debt.

Our debt has not even surpassed our GDP which tells you those investment can boost our GDP and greatly reduce our debt in the long run. The US already has debt way ahead of GDP.

Borrow him the microscope abgbado_rians use in viewing the infrastructures and tifnubus achievements.

You no well sha.

For your own good, take this with a pinch of salt.

Same people that claimed they had killed ISIS second in command, wey trump come kill the 2nd time ?

Believe this at your own risk.

Once I see any Nigerian especially some Obidients supporting Donald Trump or even have his image as their DP, that’s the easiest way to spot a person with a very low IQ

The ones like you wey Dey support tifnubu, Which level of IQ dem come get ? 😁

With or without the midterm, Republicans are going out!

They have hurt their own people and those dudes are angry.

Gas prices, farmers bankruptcy and unprofitability , health insurance through the roofs, social and veteran service cuts. Republicans are bound for hell in the coming elections.

Those MAGA thought the policies won’t affect them but now hitting hard.

same way Ronus like you thought that tifnubu’s policies would not affect them, but are now in the forefront of Ebi n pa wa 😁.

Dem wan chop alone.

Aradel sounds like aradite.

If dem say person be aradite , that means the person Dey stingy.

Maybe that’s why their dividend is low.


What are they into sef ?

nairalanda1:
So recently, Peter Obi made a comment that he was going to improve our power supply by 10000mw, which would take us up to 32000 mw...which should be enough for us to get light 24/7 (subject to the Siemens project working)...and the response was tinubu supporters making fun of Obi as a man without ideas, while Obi supporters praised their man as being wisdom incarnante.

Except that Obi did not tell us how he plans to do it.

Which essentially begs the question, how do we vote for a guy who promises us something, but does not tell us how to do it.

Which leads me back to Tinubu. IN 2023, tinubu said...if you vote me and I do not give you constant power supply, vote me out in 2027.

Naturally tinubu supporters were praising their man as being a tough minded leader, etc, etc....while Obi people are now calling in the receipts. Man has not done as promised so he should be kicked out.


Which leads me to my point.

Tinubu and obi never/have not told Nigerians how they intend to improve power supply.


The truth of the matter is, we have a plan, laid out by the experts, about power supply. A decent , strong plan....cost reflective tarrifs, ending power theft, and rolling out metering.

But neither tinubu nor obi, nor even atiku or any potential candidate would mention that because it does not win votes. (Sowore would probably announce a plan to give 24 hour light a day at N1 per kwh).


Nigerians , regardless of political party, like hearing populist language. If a leader came into office and started doing the things the experts have said we should do, he would be voted out. Or chased out. You will see the Fulani herdsmen marching with the Igbo farmer, the Yoruba trader marching with his Hausa counterpart, and there would be riots.


And the leader would be voted out.

That is why whoever takes office, won't be allowed to improve power because Nigerians think that electricity should be free of charge.

When in reality, it is not possible.

Electricity costs money. If you won;t pay for it in cost reflective tarrif, you will pay for it in generator and inverter monies. That is what Band A taught us.

And on that Band A, the idea of tinubu was not original. India has a similar system, present for decades, that commercial and industrial properties would pay a cost reflective tarrif and the profits would be used to pay for subsidising the poor farmers and rural people

And after doing that, has power supply in India improved? (No.).

Infact India is planning to make everyone pay cost reflective tarrfs in five years time.


SO, if it didn't work in India, how e go work in NIgeria?

The only way we can get free power is to take massive loans totalling nearly 2/3rd of our budgets for the next ten or more years...and while it may give us enough light, it would also put us in heavy debt for it.


In 2025, Prof Barth Nnaji, who is definetly not a Tinubu supporter put it well



SAUCE : LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER


I have been saying the above for years, but people here abuse me, so I may as well quote the actual expert, who is a qualified engineer, a former ministar of power, and an owner of a GENCO.

And he is not the first or the last to state that this needs to be done. PwC have said it, several experts have been saying it, a BBC report said it, and so forth.

Yet, Nigerians and their candidates choose to believe the fiction of corruption or some evil Western zionist overmind does not want to give us light.

It is easier to believe conspiracy theory fiction

Like NIgerians, like candidates.


Good afternoon.

I expcet to be abused and to be told about other countries that somehow magically give free power(the macs won't add that those countries pay for it with heavy taxes, or heavy debt).

Who bring this APC boy that is known for writing off point thread come front page? 🤔

If you check now, the thread no fit make sense.

Hamziyah:
That's when you will know that all the Israeli underground bunkers are not immune to Iran missiles. But being an Islamic republic, they must not transgress beyond Islam rules of engagement.

Islam get rules of engagement? Talk another thing.

Why aren’t bokoharam and iswap observing the rules of engagement?

grandstar:
Netanyahus madness needs to end.

There are better ways to end the shelling from Lebanon into Israel from Hezbollah. Not everything is confrontational and war.

Engaging the Iranians and Hezbollah would achieve a lot.

And let’s add trwating the Palestinians a lot better.

You think everyone is like the terrorist government you support in Nigeria that have been making useless peace deals with terrorists?

Sense is far from you, bro.

NIGERIA TOPS GLOBAL RANKING AS WORLD'S MOST AI EXCITED NATION

For decades, conversations about artificial intelligence revolved around places like Silicon Valley, London, and Beijing. A new global report suggests the future of AI enthusiasm may be shifting in a surprising direction.

According to findings from the Digital 2026 Mid Year Global Update Report, Nigeria has emerged as the world's most AI enthusiastic country, with 77% of internet users aged 16 and above expressing excitement about artificial intelligence. Ghana followed closely with 73%, while Turkey and Brazil secured third and fourth positions respectively.

The development challenges the long standing assumption that advanced technologies are primarily embraced by developed economies.

Even more striking is data from the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, which surveyed more than 61,000 people across 32 countries. The report found that an overwhelming 92% of respondents in both Nigeria and Ghana believe AI tools are important in their daily lives. In comparison, only 36% of respondents in the United Kingdom and 23% in France expressed similar views.

Experts say the difference lies in how people perceive the technology. While many developed countries are focused on concerns about job losses, privacy issues and automation risks, many developing nations see AI as a tool for opportunity, productivity and economic advancement.

The optimism gap is particularly significant. Research shows that 58% of people in the Global South believe AI will create more jobs than it destroys, compared to just 35% in the Global North.

Saudi Arabia is also making headlines in the AI race. Reports indicate that 81% of CEOs in the kingdom have integrated Generative AI into their businesses within the last year, with most expecting increased profitability and growth from the technology.

Industry analysts believe countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Brazil are uniquely positioned to benefit from AI because they can use emerging technologies to solve local challenges in healthcare, education, agriculture, finance and public services without having to follow the same development path taken by older industrial economies.

The message from the data is becoming difficult to ignore. Artificial intelligence is no longer a story being written exclusively in Silicon Valley or Western capitals. Some of the strongest enthusiasm, fastest adoption rates and biggest expectations are now coming from emerging economies.

As the global AI race accelerates, Nigeria's position at the top of the enthusiasm rankings raises an important question:

Can Africa move beyond being a consumer of AI and become one of the world's leading creators of AI solutions?

AMINDA:
Awuuf dey run belle. NDC had always been an SPV for Wike alias "Gimme Pawa" but the allure of free ticket was too good to pass up on. Kwankwaso was sent to execute the mission of tricking Obi out of the ADC and he joined the coalition, leaving with Obi after only 3 weeks while Obi went wild with the OK frenzy, salivating at the prospects of having Kano votes. With the pace of attacks by Dickson against Obi, Obi might end up not being on the ballot. His campaign is already dampened at a time when he should be building momentum. In the end, we will all learn politics together.

As he no gree be vice to Atiku na in Dey pain you. Nothing else.

Counterigbolies:
u can only do all these your bullshit to people who can't read or research

This is your receipt

I thought you claimed it was Kwankwaso that first signed sharia into law. What did you just post here?

muykem:
It means you people are sponsoring these evil just to get to power. Instead of suggesting way out of this mess, you want us to wait till May next year because what's important to you is presidency and not life of people. What gives you assurance that you and your family will escape this onslaught. You are doing politics with life of people.

You can’t be ok … if he suggests, what will tifnubu that swore to protect the country and his countless assistants do?

Are you saying that tifnubu doesn’t know that they are admitting repentant terrorists into an army that he is the commander in Thief ? What has he done about it?

You see why I said you can’t be ok ?

That guy has been condemned to eternal damnation, both here and in the life after. His destiny can’t be reversed.

Bendeco02:

Nobody can be worse than Tifnubu, and you are a tifnubu fanatic .

Nigerians must vote wisely come 2027.

why are you speaking with both sides of the mouth?

I thought tifnubu was doing wonders, that’s why you are always here running your mouth.

You better stay one place so thunder go fit locate you, because, it must.

nairalanda1:
8 million naira plus a whole lot of debt in loans and more loans, that was the cost back then..loans taken to replace the monies taken from the budget to subsidise fuel, electricity, and a host of other things....which worsened our debt.

Once you understand how subsidy works, you go get am, you will even get how karma forced tinubu to remove it totally.

By 2022 , we were seeing the end result of decades of taking on more debt to pay for subsidy. All our revenue was going for debt servicing. All of it. Plus including new loans.

The only good thing is that tinubu supporters to some extent now understand why GEJ wanted to remove fuel subsidy...indeed some Nigerians may now understand why world bank and imf wanted us to remove subsidy as far back as 1992...because the thing with subsidy is you can budget X for subsidy for one year, then oil price go rise up, and so does the cost of subsidy, meaning you go take money from other sectors of the budget, and borrow to fill up the resultant deficit. And the scary thing is the money is not going to be enough.

Yet we have said no, no, no. Now here we are. Forced to take a decision that should have been taken decades ago, to expereience pain that should have been done with decades ago.

Yet most nigerians, even tinubu supporters , want subsidy back. LOL. Most tinubu supporters who defend subsidy removal on petrol become angry when asked about removing subsidy on electricity totally.

Garbage as usual.

Writing plenty words without saying nothing.
