Tinubu does not understand governance.

The protest should proceed as planned. Government had 13 days to negotiate but did nothing.
If NLC Bleep-up this time, nobody will trust them again.

ElSudani:
You only need to pick up and read his manifesto and save yourself from looking uninformed.
These are some of the things he said during the campaign but some folks were busy shouting elupee to listen.

Which yeye manifesto. Na now day break? Does it also include creating 48 ministries and floating the national currency? Tinubu is 9 months late.

I am Obidient but I urge Obidients in Edo to vote for Asue Ighodalo. Let us form a coalition for better governance and let the real progressives take over.

Nigeria remains a failed contraption. Once oil becomes useless, which will be soon by-the-way, Nigeria as we know it will cease to exist.

Izuchukwu70:
Who are "we"?

The wailers dimwit

Push and start presidency. You came into office at a time of economic downturn and created 48 ministries, highest ever in Nigeria existence. Thought you guys said it was required. Now, you are 9 months late.

I hear they have now resumed Fotex intervention. What we advised 9 months ago and they call us "Wailers". Now reverting to same after monumental damages have been done

Face protest at home please. Israel is free to wipe out all Terrornalists
Refugees in Gaza are feeding better than some Nigerians

Paraman:
You go wail tire @op.

I am not the one crying "ebim pawa".

APC is a killer party.

I have read with utter despair the insinuations and outright sentiments and narratives being pushed online about who really put us in this mess.

We all know that the APC have been in government for about 9 years now. During this period, Tinubu an ally of Buhari consistently approved of all, but one of Buhari's policies. Tinubu supported Buhari's unguarded borrowings, he supported Buhari's team in fleecing the country. Not once did Tinubu criticize nor intervened in halting Buhari's destructive tendencies.

Some of us saw the state ship headed for a disastrous end and warned. What did Tinubu and APC supporters call us, "WAILERS". In fact some taunted us that we were still suffering from GEJ electuon loss. Even as wailers, we kept on wailing for the country until Buhari handed over to Tinubu based on an election described as one of the worst in developing economy.

Well Buhari drove us to a cliff and all we needed was a leader to steer the rudder of this enormous ship off the cliff edge. But since a drug addict was entrusted with statecraft, he did the unthinkable. His inaugural speech, colorless as it was carried a devastating blow to a fragile economy like ours. He, without thinking announced an end to fuel subsidies. Forgetting that it would have a far-reaching impact on the economy. So much about "hitting the ground running". This turned to hitting the ground with broken feet and spine. Next he floated the Naira, a thing never done nor conceived in the over 63 years of Nigeria existence. Again, we warned against the twin hydra-headed impact of these rash decisions. Now they called us "Obi supporters" and IPOB. Again, they taunted us with hangover of elections loss.

As if that was not enough, Tinubu picked fight with our neighbours to the north. Thank God that the northerners prevailed on him, a war with Niger would have destroyed Nigeria completely.

Then, he decided to rescind all control over forex, reversed currency change and pumped Trillions into the economy, reverse import restrictions and went on to borrow more to finance consumption. In addition, he created the largest cabinet in Nigeria history. Spent the largest amount in appeasing NASS with borrowed funds at a time the economy was only having 5%, yes, you read well 5% net revenue.
Then he went ahead to gather a stupendous and most grandiose team of "financial and business" experts, first on a jamboree to India. Next he took the second largest contingent to Dubai, where we lavished our little foreign reserve on estacodes and hotel expenses. He then took another large contingency to New Yirk and rented the world most expensive presidential suite.

Now, we are broke. Forex has gone hay-wire. Fuel landing cost has gone off the roof to the point that we are secretly paying more subsidies than it was before May 29, 2023. Infact information is that we are paying over N50 bilion Naira daily to sustain the N670 pump prize. That is approximately N23.5 Trillions in a year. That is 36% of our total 2024 budget (both capital and reccurent).

The people are now hungry, inflation in the real sector is about 49%. Households are now competing displaced, NLC that initially demanded N200000 minimum wage, now ask for N1m.

Then, do you still doubt who put us in this big mess? Noone did than Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Like he himself admitted sometimes ago, the buck stops at his desk.

So let those pushing the narrative that Buhari destroyed the economy go and rest. Tinubu put us in this mess and should be held to account.

As expected, you can start your abusive language. It is in your nature, not just your character.

Please, if you have a shop, kindly do yourself the favor to close your shops.
Watch events unfold before you decide to reopen it. Those shouting ebim pawa include policemen sef.

Initial gra'gra no pay.

Tinubu is not a sensible person. He speaks and acts before using his brains.

That was how he started without thinking.

Without thinking you removed subsidies. Without thinking you float Naira.
Without thinking you suspend Niger, Mali and Burkina-Faso.

Now everything went south, it is now Tinubu starts thinking.

OP, Edo State will never vote APC. Infact let them come out to campaign first, then you will know people are waiting to vent their anger. Tinubu should not venture land in Benin ooo. Na rock them go take pursue sm.

OP, Lagosian is anyone that pays taxes in Lagos. If you like "go and die", the lagoon is your nearest point. That is if you even know where Lagos is.

fuckJones:
kwankwaso is bigger than obi

As expected, if we were to go with 2023 election result, you know the answer but chose to believe in your self-conceit imprudence. Oh ooo! Does he even understand that?

My sincere appreciation to Peter Obi for not listening to "noises" from political jobbers. You know what I mean. Obi should continue to ignore them, that way, they become irrelevant like fire without oxygen and fuel.

Towards 2027, Peter Obi has a need to rejig his political structure. This is the time to strategize on merger and reform LP (structure, evolution and vision).

1. Merger: LP, NNPP and other
Peter Obi should seek merger of LP and NNPP to register a new party. They could go with NNLP and adopt existing LP logo. If LP leadership disagree, he should port before Jan 2025. Wherever he goes, Obidients will follow.

2. Seek strategic alliance with Kwankwaso with the latter presenting a VP (current Kano governor is a sound option) for 2027, with Kwankwaso leading party. Seek to recruit some PDP governorship candidates in middle-belt and North

3. Support Edo LP to clinch Edo governorship with a commitment to consolidate toward 2027. Peter Obi need to vigorously campaign for LP in Edo. After all both PDP and APC are already divided.

4. Commit to quarterly "Meet my people" dialogue to feel the purse of the Obidient movement. Restructure the organic movement by adopting the MAGA template of periodic social events by region. This is not the time to wait like Atiku does only to show face after 4 years in limbo.

5. Have in place an option to form a new political party if NNPP/LP merger appears intractable. Have mid-2025 target.

6. Begin to reach out to sound minds in PDP and APC towards a new Nigeria. People of like minds across the 6 geographical zones.

7. Absolutely and completely avoid returning to PDP. The current PDP is not better than APC in terms of corruption and visionlessness.

Ezewuzie01:
It is looking like APC will win. PDP chose a man who cannot speak his mother's tongue and needs an interpreter talk to his own people, while LP chose a man who has a Yoruba name and lives in Lagos in contravention to the popular Edo slogan that Edo no be Lagos.

Obaseki lived all his life in Lagos. Oshomole was 90% unknown in Etsako before he became NLC president. Stop spreading lies. Edo no bi Lagos sha! APC can never rule Edo and Delta again. It was Aneni that pushed Oshiomole just to prove a point to OBJ. Those days are gone forever.

TalkTalkTwins:
Now the court gets to either remove PDP from the general elections, or decide who runs for the main election

The court lacks power to decide for party. It us purely internal affairs - Supreme Court of Nigeria

You are celebrating the landing of 45000km cable now. Na millions of $ MTN spend now ooo!
After some slow pokes will come online to deride MTN for capital flight

Tinubu's Chicago University first class na OND pass for Nigeria

yarimo:
Congratulations to Philip shuaibu as the rightful winner of PDP governorship primaries

Dey play. PDP NWC does not recognize Shaibu.
He just wasted his money on a useless face-saving venture.

Onigbese ...

Op, when Tinubu was sharing $ to delegates where were you, in Yemen?

Wahalla

So na this failure and liar them see to send?
For the very fact that Gov. Abiodun is the one announcing this, I am not perturbed because it is is sure that $ will never come down

Waste of time. Every landlord should will just inform their agents that rent is payable in Naira ooo but based on $ ruling rate. So, if the rent is $2k, the tenant who wants to pay must first convert $ equivalent to Naira. For today, that would be N3.8m. Thereafter, you can go and buy $ and lodge in your Dom account. Shikena, no law is violated and everyone is 😊

adamusuleiman2:
Atleast you have google on your phone. 👇

And those countries have FOREX black market as businesses? You need to travel out. Name one country there where people peddle $ or Euro or £ on the streets? They use official means, which are benchmarked on their Central Bank rate and defined commissions, not buy at N1690 and sell at N2000.. These are people we are clubbed together with in same country? God why?
