Nigerians cannot forgive billions of naira renovations, fake agencies, misplaced priority projects, extremely high insecurity and government’s inability to fight it, extravagant government spending and so on after they have been subjected to extreme poverty.

No police reform, still a very corrupt police and justice system, still high corruption in the oil sector, still high corruption everywhere, virtually no reform, only indirect taxation.

You can’t explain Tinubu’s failures. People are feeling and seeing it daily. It’s not something you can gaslight a Nigerian about, that’s why you should wear your helmet out there to avoid sunburn.

Long grammar. Alex Otti, Okonjo Iwuala, Sanusi etc are all known experts. Their commendations make what you wrote here irrelevant. Even your Obi acknowledged that Tinubu's CBN is doing great. Who's give them wotowetin?

Ofunaofu:
The South East doesn't hate Buhari. Not voting overwhelmingly for him is not hate.

In a democracy, people have the right to vote or not vote for any candidate. That choice deserves respect.

When the South West did not vote overwhelmingly for Obasanjo in 1999 and 2003, did anyone accuse the region of hating him, even though he was from the South West?

Why is the South East's democratic choice labelled as hate or tribal bigotry, while similar decisions by other regions are described as political calculation or democratic choice?

If you, as an individual, hate Buhari, that is your personal choice. But don't project that onto the entire South East. A region's voting pattern should not be used to stereotype millions of people.

Was there anything that the south east didn't call him. Why didn't he campaign in the East? Tomorrow you will tell us that the south east didn't hate Tinubu.

Kukutente23:
No more petrol scarcity because we have a refinery not because of subsidy removal
You guys should stop mixing things up

You don't understand my friend. Dangote wouldn't have sold petrol to Nigeria under the old scheme. How would he have recovered his cost? The FG would have owed him so much that he would have stopped selling to Nigeria.

Ofunaofu:
The Second Niger Bridge was delivered by Buhari without fanfare or demanding Igbo votes in return.

Today, because we are in regime that treat project as political patronage rather than a public good. It is taking years to complete a mere 17km access road, and the Minister of Works, Umahi, now asking Igbos to vote for Tinubu because of 17km road.

Thunder 🔥 ⚡🔥 all of them

The same Buhari that you hate so much?

givedemwotowoto:
After 2027 if Tinubu ever wins reelection, he’ll descend on Nigerians with all his might

Then the complaints and excuses will start again: “They promised us he’ll fix things in his second term”

After witnessing Buhari’s 2 terms in office and how they claimed he will fight corruption in his second term, after witnessing TraderMoni disappear immediately after election, how many times will you be lied to and deceived before you use your common sense?

He's focused on finding lasting solution to our problems. It may result to initial shocks. Petrol is expensive but no more petrol scarcity. We would have faced severe scarcity because of Iran/US war.

oz4real83:
Most of the governors are from the president's political party, this is indirectly indicative of the fact that APC is a failure according to the president.💔💔💔

The Abia center table nko? Each time I go to osisioma I usually park to watch the traffic on that center table. Very few vehicles use it yet there is no traffic hold up at osisioma. Totally unnecessary and of poor quality. That's part of the PDP trademark.

Ofunaofu:
According to Babashir Lawal....Tinubu is a chain smoker


Nothing he says makes a single bit of sense.

And Atiku that said here that China left their population unchecked while growing their economy is very correct abi?

jmoore:
This babablu minister that is running our airports like local motorparks.

If you don't want someone to park at a particular place, put the 'no parking' sign.

Empty men, collecting salary while delivering rubbish.

Are you for real? At the airport you don't know locations that are drop and go only? Obi a regular airport user don't know?

seunmsg:
Not a single kobo was paid and all the students came out alive. That is a far sensible way to handle the matter instead of the President rushing into the kidnappers den and risking the lives of the victims, soldiers and even the commander in chief.

When 9/11 happened, the first thing the US security forces did was to immediately evacuate President Bush from the white house to Airforce1. He was in Airforce1 until they were able to assess the situation and conclude that the President is no longer at risk of any impending attack before the aircraft came down. Bush did not rush to the world trade center to rescue the victims.

You are wasting your time writing this. Obi doesn't understand what it takes to be a president. Every word that comes out of his mouth shows that he's not a presidential material.

greatiyk4u:
And of what value is the education to millions of unemployed graduates roaming about the streets of Nigeria cities?

Ask an illiterate what he's missing. The greatest desire of an illiterate that is a millionaire is to be educated. Why did you accept to go to school?

greatiyk4u:
Point of corrections, just a very few Nigerian students who are ignorantly celebrating a loan that will mortgage their future, imagine get a job as a fresher and immediately start with loan repayment responsibility, is that worthy of Jubilation?

Ask those that accessed COVID 19 loan how the auto debit is affecting them negatively

Which is better drop out of uni for lack of financial power or get interest free loan to be repaid later and have education that you can use for the whole of life?

givedemwotowoto:
Not only is he insensitive, he is also the architect of Nigeria's worsened problems.

He has plunged over 50 million Nigerians into extreme multidimensional poverty since 2023.

Rather than fight corruption and implement institutional reforms as a leader should, he chose to push the weight of the problems to the people.

The trillions they saved from subsidy removal, they shared among themselves, awarded bogus contracts, created fake agencies, settled friends with unnecessary fraudulent contracts, padded budgets, renovated offices and residences while schools, hospitals and so on were dilapidated.

Say No to N15,000 kpa for one vote.

Overwhelm them at the polls and protect your votes like Kwankwasiyya did in 2023

The loss of Kwankwaso is a major setback for the APC.
In 2023, the Kwankwasiyya movement demonstrated its strength by escorting ballot boxes to the collation centre to protect Governor Abba’s mandate and prevent it from being stolen.… pic.twitter.com/mx06c39lOH

For sure Obi has seen something to talk about. He recently ran out of what to say in his everyday social media hustle. The only way for him to continue to be busy is to call PBAT to speak. Now that he has spoken Obi will have something to be busy for the next two weeks before he runs out of gas. Meanwhile serious candidates are busy strategizing and mobilizing. An election will take place in Osun state in less than two weeks. Obi will not work hard to make his candidate win. His only obsession is presidency. Maybe when he wins he will not have governors and legislatures. Clowns everywhere.

Dogalmighty17:
Guess what else is growing faster than the population. The poverty rate.

It's expected. It's the effect of realignment of old subsidized lifestyle. When all that the government was doing was to subsidize consumption and suddenly the subsidy was removed to invest in production what would you expect initially? Later the positive effects will start to roll in and this will be sustainable.

iwaeda:
You people are just deceiving yourself. Which economy is growing faster than population. Just go to Daleko or Oyingbo markets and come back

Experts are talking - Alex Otti, Okonjo Iwuala, Sanusi etc and even main opposition like Obi but one social media attacker is contradicting. One thing about true experts is that they are hardly biased. Go and read my comments when Yemi was newly appointed. I worked closely with him when he was in citizens bank and in his venture capital company. This is the reason why people like me even from the tribe that attacks PBAT most believe in his forms and policies. By our training we understood where we are coming from, the hard decision that is required to change our thinking and lifestyle and where all things being equal we are headed to.

What is happening in CBN is what Nigerian economy will turn out if PBAT is allowed to complete his next four years and anyone with his mindset takes over. None of the opposition has the capacity to do what he's doing.

Our major challenge now is insecurity and PBAT is taking a long term vision of it. Look at his decision concerning the expansion of the army so that there will be faster response time.

Obi was asked what he will do concerning insecurity and he replied that he will be on the field and not in the office . Can you imagine shallow thinking.

givedemwotowoto:
Voters are being sensitized to treat democracy like their European and American counterparts do it. The ones who brought it to Africa.

Every leader gets one chance. Fail to improve the lives of your people and be voted out. It’s as simple as that.

Nobody has time to be asking for a perfect alternative. There’s no such thing as a perfect alternative, it’s just a lazy Nigerian mentality argument.

Anybody will perform knowing that the voters are unforgiving and will vote them out if they give excuses. If they don’t then it’s farewell and we keep going. We have millions of people who will gladly take up this job.

Even Winston Churchill was decisively voted out of office immediately after winning World War II for Britain. That’s how unforgiving voters should be.

You are free for your subjective assessment but don't impose it on the ignorant. Mention one leader in this country that your yardstick was used.

Your comparison doesn't hold. They are called advanced economies and democracy. The indices that are used by those nations are different from yours. Theirs is strictly performance. Yours doesn't even look at performance as key factor. It's tribe, religion, how appointments are shared, how projects are shared etc.

temitope27:
Nigerian should also learn how to stay in their country and fix it

Back then did the Brits stay in their country and fix it.

You will not learn the lesson of decency in the use of language. He used gutter language against Nigerians in his country and he's being charged. Back home Nigerians use multiple gutter language against their country and they are not charged.

WhiteIverson:
Blah blah blah

In reality, this is how the average foreigner feels about immigrants all over the world. This one was just used as a scapegoat.

Nigerians feel, behave and act worse than this to their fellow Nigerians back home.

This is what happens when people migrate en masse because they are trying to escape from a third world backwater country.

Does India belong to the third world backwater country?

givedemwotowoto:
We know this, that’s why we’re sensitizing voters to ignore the propaganda and come out massively on Election Day and overwhelm them.

Tinubu will lose. He won’t be the first President to lose reelection in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world.

No matter the propaganda and intimidation tactics he deploys, we have seen those before and we will keep the voters well informed and ready to act decisively

Sensitize voters by telling them what you feel that Tinubu is not doing right and what and how your candidate is going to get them right. Provide very clear alternatives and not jumbled statements. Then allow voters to decide. Otherwise what you are displaying is campaign for your candidate and not neutral education. The discerning public will see through your game.

givedemwotowoto:
The incumbent is always on the ballot due to their performance, just like Tinubu is on the ballot in 2027.

The question you ask yourself to know whether a person will win reelection is, those that voted for this leader in the last election, based on his/her performance, do you think they will go back to the polls to vote for him again?

For you to lose election, you must have performed so badly that people who previously voted for you are willing to reject money or gifts to vote you again (factoring in vote-buying in Nigeria).

This is why it’s easy to predict a defeat for Tinubu in 2027.

Outside the SW, people are ready to reject cash to vote Tinubu out of office, and this is fatality for him because over 60% of his votes in 2023 came from the North, and Buhari is no longer there for him.

From armchair analyst abi?

omonwayaro:
A pseudo-accountant with no practical knowledge, you mean?

I believe you don't know that trading is the practical form of accounting

Who taught this accounting. Go and collect your school fees back.

Accountant with no practical knowledge worked in Exxon Mobil up to the level of treasurer. Worked in one of the big global auditing and consulting firms. Guy try another stick 🏒

donleo92:
Which president cut subsidy

Why you no go pay when you cut subsidy

Which kind nonsense, comparison be this

But you kept asking the question of where the subsidy money was spent. You have answered yourself by your statement above.

Ofunaofu:
Actually, the company is nothing more than a conduit pipe connecting the Lagos Treasury to Tinubu's pocket, through which the entire common wealth of Lagosians is being siphoned and looted

Is that all that you know?
FYI Lagos state is not their only client. Some other states, agencies and corporate bodies are their clients. It's a professional outfit. It shows the background of the president.

For Lagos state, there's no crime.
Thought out strategies to block leakages and raise revenue for the state. Out of sum raised above standard a percentage is paid as fees. It's a performance-based service. Has it helped Lagos state? Of course yes. The revenue bouyancy of Lagos is linked to the firm. I have just one example - land use charge. Before alpha beta, it was called tenament rate. It's a tax on property. As someone who pays it I know what it was and what it is now.

Ofunaofu:
And remind me again...what exactly was Tinubu's job before he ventured into politics? I mean, the one he was doing when he forfeited over $460,000 to the U.S. government in a forfeiture case involving funds connected to drug trafficking.

Tinubu is a trained accountant. He worked in that capacity in a major sector. Accountants are trained to be foundations of enterprise, midwives of their products and growth and at old age and death acts as probates.

Watch Tinubu speak, he speaks technically. Check his actions as governor they were long term based.

Watch Obi speak he speaks like a trader. Check his actions as governor they were short term based. You can't trace the impact anymore. Traders are the people that hates Tinubu's policies most because there's no more quick profits. Quick profits don't provide long term gains. That's why ponzi schemes die quickly.

Goo0dHardDick:
Nigeria isn't a serious country. If it was an American citizen that was killed in SA like this, by now SA would have been burning back to back

Will Americans go and be doing drugs and illegal things in foreign lands?

Will Americans stay in a country without legal papers?

Let's face the truth.

AMINDA:
We don't know that yet. He hasn't been tried unlike Tinubu that has failed to do so after getting his chance. Why should Tinubu be rewarded with four more years when another person can do better?

He hasn't been tried? So you are for trial and error? So this is how you will hire a key employee to run your enterprise?

What is his antecedents? Couldn't fix anything in a state for eight years but wants to fix Nigeria for four years. Someone that is wired for quick profits is telling you that he will reposition Nigeria for long term prosperity in four years.

OBJ couldn't. In advanced economies how many people have you heard that campaigned like this?

In world bank contract bidding we have responsive bid and none responsive bid. This Obi's bid is none responsive bid. It clearly shows that he doesn't understand what the job entails.

jmoore:
Coming from a creature that is importing ashawo from southafrica in private jet with public funds.

This is roadside joke 🤣. This is not the issue. Oshomole raised fundamental issues. Someone that in all his life is wired to import unemployment and export employment is telling you that he will turn Nigeria from consumption to production in four years and you don't see this as desperation?

Someone who couldn't fix a subnational for eight years is promising you that he will fix Nigeria in four years and you don't see this as desperation?

Ojuntana:
It seems they are unaware that they are going to pay back every penny
Besides, they starve your parents and tell them to fry kulikuli and akara to survive and they send you stipends to buy same akara
Perfect economic sense

Do you know the source of the funding of nelfund? It comes mostly from EFCC recovered funds. We used to read it that they happen in developed economies but it's happening here in Nigeria. Obi that will always tell us about Egypt, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia etc. will not cite this one.

So many years back we had scholarship boards and bursary awards to help students. They have all be destroyed but PBAT is bringing them back.

Spybradd:
I have never seen where someone will be celebrating that he or she is now an onigbese,debtor!
And taking loan and be showing the world that you used the loan to cook food,what does that imply??

What does that say if their parents and guardians?!

OMO ologo!
City BOY?!

A Baba that got no origin

Which is better? Perpetual tenant or take a mortgage with repayment and own the house?

Bobloco:
They students needs to be reminded it's a loan not free money

The stipend is free. #20k every month.

For Nigerian students four has become four years. It has been long since it happened in this nation. No one can cover the sky.

There is no permanent enemy in politics: only permanent interest
