It is less than 24hours as Nigeria wakes up to another news coming out from NNPCL informing the public about 1m barrel of crude oil supplied to Port Harcourt Refinery when Nigerians are yet to digest the bogus news of Nigeria becoming net importer of refinery.

What Nigerians want to see is refined fuel from Nigeria refinery. Enough of announcement, postponements and embarrassment by the NNPCL

Tinubu must make heads roll over the embarrassment this agency has caused the nation. No serious country condone irresponsibility and negligence. It is high time Kyari is shown the way out and give room for fresh ideas would revive the dying refineries.

Make NNPC shut up

Chinkoalhaji34:
E be like say Obi don finally chop L for 2023, 10 blunders na hin go vex am. Na so Tinubu go laugh last.

Too many blunder for someone who want to become president

1. Failed to congratulate PBAT even after he lost at the SC
2. Failure to sue Premium Times for airing his 'Yes Daddy' outburst
3. Declaring that Kanu and IPOB are freedom fighter and should be freed
4. Failure to criticised activities of IPOB
5. Considering the construction of coastal road while keeping mute during 2nd Niger Bridge
6. Never tweet about killings in the SE but always tweeting when it happen in other region
7.His silence over LG financial autonomy
8. Selective congratulatory messages that excluded Tinubu and Wole Soyinka birthday message
9. His backslided attitude from visiting many churches
10. His blind criticism of the government without providing an alternative solution

mrvitalis:
Would congratulations to Soyinka make you or reno vote him?

Yes, in a contest between Peter Obi, Yaya Bello and Ikpeazu, I will gladly vote Peter Obi

babasolution:
My point is TINUBU has worse credentials than Peter Obi if you are going that route

Yes, in the eyes of someone like you. But he is an excellent leader in the eyes of many

Funkyswagzz:
If you say let every tribe fight there own fight who I'm I to dispute but I want you to know you are only treating malaria while the symptoms are still there.

At least am treating something.

babasolution:
Is not what he did or said in the past but what he did and said during the campaign,if we are going to the past,TINUBU did and said worse things

Okay, I should employ you based on your interview and not consider your credentials.

Look your level of reasoning is so poor. My old grandma in the villages can do better than this.

If your age bracket falls between 20 and 60, then there must be something fundamentally wrong with your education.

Pls sorry for my direct advice at your personality

babasolution:
Obi mostly likely would have done better,because he was pro people, he explained his policies,was down to earth,and was not an establishment candidate, this are enough signs to show,tinubu was elusive,elite oriented,was not pro people, didn't debate,these were bad signs already

The same Peter Obi that said education is not for the poor?

The same Obi who in the name of quick money has been importing all junk into the country,?

The same Obi who fed fat during Abacha government while the masses groan under terror and fear.

Why do you Ibo think your poor image laundering can influence other Nigerians?

I pity Obidients people. This must be the worst period of their lives, from one bad news to the other

What has 3 years sit at home in SE achieved? Nothing

mrvitalis:
May God never ignore you the way Obi ignores Reno... Brothers and sisters shout a loud amen

Every sensible person knows that Obi showed Soyinka nothing but respect

Went to his house, and explained this to him but Soyinka kept on attacking Obi, at any single interview he kept on attacking Obi

In politics every move counts, it is a fatal error for Obi to have ignored congratulating Wole Soyinka, in fact, a belated message to the Prof would mean a push caused by Reno's dragging

. Your Agulu saviour and his adviser and not intelligent, and Reno is gathering this evidence as a bullet he will use during the campaign to send Obi into political oblivion. Sadly Obidients are too naive to see this

CrossRhodes:
Tinubu has nothing here.
If they agree at senate and rep level, he must sign it nothing more

Which school graduates you, miracle centre right?

Funkyswagzz:
Bro I'm not talking about who will rule nigeria forever I think you clearly missed the direction I'm heading. The purpose of this topic is for us to have a rethink and try to solve our problems by ourselves intend of waiting for these politicians to do it it for us. Igbos are ready to join to fight for a better country but they are always used as a scapegoat. The reason this country is at steady fall is because we citizens don't tackle issue decisively that is why the politicians use those loophole to win our minds.

Who are the common enemy? Am sure you are talking about the politicians, my friend, fight your politicians and allow Yoruba and others to fight their own.

But you must first throw the first punch or the missiles at your politicians and then allow Yoruba to follow suit.

Yoruba and Hausa // Fulani will no longer watch while you massacre their leaders while you spare yours.

babasolution:
The people aren't necessarily feeling this progress,cost of living is extremely high,what matters is the people not ECONOMIC indices that's my problem with the APC system,particularly the elite tinubu system,they aren't people oriented, this reflects in LAGOS so much

Did Anambra people and the entire Igbo enjoy Peter Obi during his tenure as governor?

Nigerian chose between Timubu, Obi and Atiku, will Obi have done better?

babasolution:
Tinubu did little or nothing during his 8 year spell in Lagos.

TINUBU achievements are only in two general things
1. Building growing politicians that's why the politicians love him so much.

2. Sharing loot with his cronies,that's why they love him so much.

It doesn't look like he changed

LAGOS is not working, tinubus dynasty is killing Lagos not developing it.

LAGOS is still very very underdeveloped


Therefore,you don't need a soothsayer to tell you that TINUBU will achieve nothing as president other than building successive politicians and sharing federal money to his cronies.

There isn't going to be any big progress in Nigeria under TINUBU. The signs are already there.

Lagos is not working but your Igwe are levying your people for transportation money to come and take a ride of our monorail.

Sense fall on you

OP cover your head in shame for these avoidable blunders.
1. Lagos state has 22 LG
2. LG shares equal allocation.

The remaining of your concoction can only be consumed by the obedient, to the sane minds it is sour soup meant for the pigs

The coastal road that covers 8 States would be named after him though some people vehemently opposed the construction of the road

Only Reno is enough nemesis to the Obidients and Obi. Dragging them like I better pass my neighbour

Enemy of progress are known to always wail

PBAT is working

SE people should be thankful to PBAT for the support given to this bill.

What Nass can't dream while Ekweremadu was Deputy SP, what Nass can't initiate when Ihedioha was Deputy Speaker is what is been done during Emilokan regime.

It's not all time we criticise, we need to give credit when it is due so God won't cancel our expectations.

This is a big win for the SE people if it scale through

Nonsense

LandMann:
Unfortunately history doesn't agree with you.

From 1999-2024 Nigeria has had

1. Obasanjo
2. Yaradua
3. Goodluck
4. Buhari
5. Tinubu

Despite getting Nigeria's debt written off, Obasanjo a southerner did not take the fight against corruption AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE serious. Instead, the agency for fighting corruption was used to only allegedly fight opposition politicians. Obasanjo laid a very weak foundation for the fight against corruption and today Nigeria is reaping the rewards. In addition, Obasanjo increased price of fuel, diesel and kerosene steadily and his regime pumped billions of Nigeria's money in Nigeria's refineries that till date are still dead all tanks to corruption. Obasanjo the strong man could have gotten the national assembly to pass a law prescribing death sentence for corrupt public officials and elected government officials to minimise corruption in Nigeria but no he did not. Today, the seed Obasanjo planted has matured and yielded fruit.

Yaradua a northerner did not last in office but his short stay was the only period since 1999 that brought about reduction in fuel price and removal of exploitative charges by banks dominated by capitalist crooks from southwest of Nigeria.

Next we got Jonathan, a southerner who supervised the most corrupt regime in Nigeria after Abacha. In fact Yar Adua's death was the zenith of Nigeria's progress since 1999. There was massive looting of state resources with little or no consequences, thanks to the weak foundation of anti corruption. Jonathan regime was so bad that sensible Nigerians thought the best thing to do is to vote him out... Unfortunately, given how polluted Nigeria's politics is, the only person available to defeat Jonathan was Buhari a northerner with no sound education. Again, while failing to remove subsidy despite massive gains from oil sales, Jonathan supervised gradual increase in price of fuel and diesel... Kerosene became super expensive under Jonathan a southerner. Inflation began to creep up, eroding the value of the Naira. Meanwhile Jonathan's cabinet and members of government where all swimming in luxury and wealth, most looted. This fueled the demand for a change of government and indirectly allowed it to happen.

Buhari a northerner came in and he too and members of his government continued from where Jonathan stopped. Looting and abuse of power across all levels of government. Despite pressure to remove subsidy, Buhari a northerner refused and explained in an interview with a foreign journalist that you can't ask him to remove subsidy when Nigeria wasn't a productive country. Perhaps he understood that inflation and suffering would be massive, so he continued to pay subsidy that would be looted by crooks and agents of corruption in Nigeria who have now settled with fangs on the blood of ordinary Nigerians to feast like vampire.

Tinubu, a southerner is now in office and the first thing he did is remove subsidy without blocking the various channels of corruption in Nigeria, thereby plunging 90% of Nigerians, the ordinary people into suffering and poverty. After removing subsidy Tinubu continued by introducing one tax after the other all in a bid to sniff life out of the people so he can rule with poverty.

So, from 1999 till date you will see a pattern of wickedness and insensitivity on the part of southern presidents in Nigeria. Most of them have this American capitalist mindsets but they do nothing about corruption, nepotism and tribalism. Unfortunately, putting capitalism and corruption, nepotism and tribalism in the same space is a recipe for disaster cos the capitalists in their insatiable greed and pursuit of self-interest will explore corruption, nepotism and tribalism to achieve their goals.

So, after Tinubu does this 4 years the best thing is to vote a northerner who is a professor and has lectured and has an unblemished public service record, or pair that northerner as vice with a southerner of same quality.

If Nigerians keep arguing to choose between Tinubu, Atiku and Peter Obi in 2027, we will end up with another disaster as president

Nice one Mr President

Treadway:
All I know is you must keep standing on the mandate.

Don't be fickle like Madridguy and hop off this mandate.

What do you mean exactly? It's the right of the citizen to criticize but it must be done objectively.

Blame the government for what he failed to do but don't heap the blame on the past leaders him

Away from the recent campaign going on on social media, particularly on Nairaland with violent criticism and ignorant opinions flying around, one wonders if Nigerians just got healed from dumbness.

While some criticisms are objective, many are simply rhetoric of ignorance coming from those who fell out in the race to Aso Rock.

As expected, Tinubu is voted to come and solve a myriad of problems bedeviling this country, and Nigerians will no longer entertain excuses going forward from the government. But wait if you must criticize please do objectively.

The flamboyancy of Nigerian politicians has been a source of concern to many, our traditional system and monarchical culture can be traced to this absurd behavior, from the council chairman up to the president is evidence of flamboyance and wastefulness.

Can the politicians continue to live a wasteful life at the expense of the people?

Nigeria's 2024 budget is a paltry 34 billion USD whereas Egypt an African country with less population of about 60 million budgeted 130 billion USD. Other African countries' budgets with less population and resources doubled that of Nigeria. Nigeria is indeed a very poor country with a high potential to grow.

I will therefore task the government to focus on revenue generation to increase its budget to 200 billion USD. This administration will incur strong criticism from me if the 2027 budget doesn't exceed 100 billion USD.

Nigeria cannot develop with the meagre budget we have, a good minimum wage and infrastructure is a stimulants for a better life

You will never see any obedient address the issue raised by Reno, they prefer to insult him
