You nor dey shame?

Lol. Ask yourself the same question.

Gotocourt:
Seems like you underestimate the disaster building up in the south west. The carnage happening is beyond politics, it's raw violence getting foothold of the region 🤷🏿.

Insecurity, that will increasingly become focused against SW as election draw closer, is being sponsored by Northern leaders to discredit Tinubu in an attempt to ensure born-to-rule Fulani hegemonists and supremacists hijack power in 2027.

What many Nigerian Presidents and heads of States failed to do to improve Nigeria, over at least 7 decades, no reasonable Nigerian will blame on Tinubu.

The Nigerian educated class is a disgrace. If not, they should be behind Tinubu, who has been very brave and resolute reforming Nigerian to position her for greatness, so that we permanently defeat agents of retrogression seeking eternal hijack of Nigeria's commonwealth.

franchasofficia:
The Nigerian government have shown highest level of inability to manage and account for our collective crude oil revenue, plus other revenues gotten from natural resources and other forms of direct and indirect tax and levies for many years now.

Nigeria have no national water supply system.

We do not have stable electricity supply.

We do not have a secured border.

We do not have secured nation, most Nigerians provide their own security through private security guards they pay for from their pockets.

Nigeria have no credible social welfare for citizens.

Nigeria have no credit system that give citizens opportunity to have a good life without paying outrightly like it is in the nations Tinubu is copying his tax law from

More lies and incoherent arguments. Nigeria has been destroy by cumulative inept leadership , over several decades, before PBAT become President.

Yet tax reforms that became law formally only in January 2026 and that all experts praise, for it's attempt to increase our tax to GDP ratio above 15% the world Bank indicate is the minimum nations should aim for, is the cause of all the problems you cite above?

You are a compromised enemy of Nigeria's progress. The effort of you guys to demonize Tinubu as main and singular problem of Nigeria, since lord Lugard amalgamation, is distasteful.

Tjra:
Kwankwaso is an evil genius. He knows Obi will lose woefully. But supporting him now means he will inherit his followers ahead of his own ambition in 2031.

Simple. Many understand Obi is not intelligent so they position themselves to use him.

franchasofficia:
Thirdly and lastly, I am against Tinubu and his regime because of his insensitive nature of ignoring the suffering of Nigerians and how businesses and entrepreneurs are struggling to survive by implementing a tax law to widen existing tax law to raise more money for those in government who failed in accounting and making good use of our crude oil revenue for decades now.



I do not hate him because of who he is but because of his actions as a political leader and President

You lie a lot. The bolded is bollocks. Tax reforms the Tinubu regime introduced is to improve the tax to GDP ratio of Nigeria, that is below the African average, so that more is available for Government to use improving the lives of Nigerian as is the standard case across the world.

Look at the simplistic explanation of tax to GDP ratio below whereby the world Bank recommend it must be above 15% while OECD nations average around 34% whereas that of Nigeria is pathetic and one of the lowest in the world at around 10%.

How can any well-meaning educated person then try to lie that efforts of this government to improve our tax to GDP ratio is a bad thing unless they have a hidden agenda for their attempt to misinform?

Your sort simply want an Igbo President and that is why you are online daily lying against Tinubu. Be bold enough to admit what you want because your criticism of PBAT are never factually valid.

lawani:
P

But what you are saying is not different from what I am saying it is just that you are probably a capitalist trying to oppose communism for properly defining what a minimum wage should be when even capitalists use the same definition without acknowledging it. I think you are in the UK? Can a minimum wage enable someone to save ninety percent of income in any part of the UK? It can be possible with a manager but not possible for minimum wage workers anywhere on Earth.

Minimum wage enforced by government as you say is to make sure no one is being exploited

I like your personality because it shows you reflect on problems of society deeply. I think your idealist and communist leaning is what I have an issue with.

Minimum wage cannot be capped and should not have anything to do with what anyone can save after meeting their living expenses.

Minimum wage should be for governments to revise and set purely based on what citizens need, as a minimum, to meet their living obligations.

LibertyRep:
Ok.
We should go back to the era of borrowing to pay subsidy.
We should continue supporting Naira with borrowed fund while some people make humongous money from round tripping.

What exactly should we have done?

Great comments. The fact is that the processes nations must adopt to become developed is almost a precise science with set rules.

Nigeria was not following any of those rules. In fact, as an example, our corner-cutting is why terrorism is a major problem today.

There was no consistent, focused and dedicated investment in the NPF over time to improve its efficiency that would make it more than a match for all these illiterates running around killing Nigerians.

There is no way some elements can internally terrorise nations like the USA, Germany or Nigeria as is happening to Nigeria today simply because their security capacity is too efficient to allow that.

How can we then not understand that securing Nigeria is going to be difficult to achieve today because of what we failed to do over decades to improve the efficiency of our security architecture so it grows and adapt with time?

We are suddenly here today and the owners of a police force that is archaic and cannot secure Nigeria.

I was in the UK during the 7/7 London bombing in 2005 to note the response of Metropolitan police that makes me understand how very, very far Nigeria is to having such a capable force.

I understand that times are tough for Nigeria but there is no way we can move towards being a developed nation, with all the benefits of good security and socio-economic wellbeing, without sacrifice simply because of what we have failed to do over many decades.

@OP.

They are both long-overdue policies implemented at the right time. Fuel subsidy and subsidizing of Naira were crippling a nation that was broke and on the edge of collapse.

For example, States were borrowing to pay salary but that is not the case today. Direct confirmation of a benefit of fuel subsidy removal.

What I can agree with is that more effort should be made to introduce and quickly implement palliatives to soften the hardship Nigerians are facing as a result of unavoidable and crucial reforms.

Macphenson:
You are simply both and by extension ignorant.

Oya let me help you cure your crass ignorance a bit

https://www.nairaland.com/7222878/abuja-terrorist-found-shettimas-house

After reading thank me.

Go and look at what you wrote again to note you are not proficient using the English language. You make it seem Kabiru Sokoto was found in Tinubu's house.

Even you sentence in bold above is not grammatically correct.

lawani:
So in Ilesa.here where it is possible to live comfortably as a single person with less than hundred dollars a month, they should make 4000 dollars per month the minimum wage so that a bachelor who is sensible can save 3900 dollars every month? To do what with it?

You don't get the point. Some issues, like minimum wage, define themself naturally and holistically.

It is not for you, because your mentality is communist, to determine what it should be nor suggest a cap be put on it.

Government determine minimum wage based on what they believe is the minimum amount all employers should pay that will allow citizens live comfortably.

Macphenson:
Ohh, USA won't have something to say about the Chicago drug lord, the man whom Kabiru Sokoto was found in his house and the Muslim Muslim ticket?

Una mumu too much.

Are you high per the bolded or just a shameless liar?

franchasofficia:
With all due respect sir, Nigeria is nobody's personal or family inheritance.

Becoming President of Nigeria is to serve not to merry or because it is your turn to enjoy or answer President. It's a call to serve by leading Nigerians to a communal prosperity through sincere and just management of our collective scarce resources for the common good of all Nigerians.


When anybody that is the President of Nigeria fail in securing the lives and properties of Nigerians such that Nigerians now live in perpetual fear of being kidnapped or dispossessed of their hard earned income and properties, then such President has failed and ought to resign honorably.


Tinubu is fortunate to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming President of Nigeria, a dream great men like Obafemi Awolowo, MKO Abiola and even Odimegwu Ojukwu could not achieve in their lifetime, he ought to resign or quit seeking for reelection knowing that he doesn't have the capacity to lead Nigeria out of the woods that Nigeria is currently in right now

The bolded is a joke and shows, with all due respect, many of you are like toddlers who need adult parents to look after you because you don't have the capacity to look after yourselves.

It is only in Nigeria, and from the mouth of emotional folks like you, one will read the bolded in your post.

Globally, and from the mouth of economic experts with no vested or bigoted interest in Nigeria, Tinubu gets an A+ for his bold and reform-driven leadership of Nigeria.

Those who know the precise problems of Nigeria and know the exact problems required to sort out those problems see that Tinubu is doing the right things.

Peter Obi is the next President of Nigeria.
It is written 🖋

Lol. You lot love fooling yourselves. Campaign will start soon and I am sure the USA will have something to say about Kwankwaso as VP candidate 😎

Lithiumite:
If it doesn't, obi should be ready to deputise him in 31......I am really beginning to like kwakwanso style of politics... man ie really smart.

He is not. He is just offering platitudes and being opportunistic which all Nigerian politicians do.

Seunmama:
APC have seen the handwriting on the wall, they have started begging Peter Obi
Only APC knows the party and the candidate that will defeat them.

It is an Igbo man, who happens to be an APC member, appealing to his fellow Igbo. Not APC, as a Party, begging Obi.

APC will beg Obi for an election it has won already? People can delude themselves but Tinubu has won a second term already.

Lol. Lawani the hardened communist don begin again. Minimum wage, ideally , should be a direct reflection of the ability of nations to be productive and successful.

If it is even $4,000 dollars a month, no problem as long as it is facilitating good and socio-economically productive lives for the citizens of a nation.

seunmsg:
You and your fellow evil northern born to rule are the ones behind the Fulani led terrorism and insurgency ravaging the northern part of the country.

Your greed and desperation for power is why you’re sponsoring the insecurity all over your region. You have absolutely no value for the sanctity of human life. We saw how you played evil politics on the grave of Deborah and we are now witnessing how you are now trying to use the insecurity you’re sponsoring to score very cheap political points.

You all have failed. Your evil agenda will be defeated and Nigeria shall win the battle against terrorism. You will never become the president of Nigeria and power will remain in the south till 2031.

Word !!!

Ezekiel2122:
Only in Nigeria that they are been terrorise by Fulani who are sponsored by their own people and then they see having Fulani man as president will solve the problem of being constantly terrorise by Fulani. We're are wise people abeg

I have made this same point countless times. Why are we indulging the likes of Atiku? Why is even a single Southerner behind him?

Do we need them to be in charge of the Presidency before we begin seeing their effort to deliver solutions for the existential problems their people are causing for Nigeria.

CodeTemplar:
Have we not been tenants to thats nomadic tribe since before independence?
The tribe that controls the army police n dss. No be today oga atiku. Tinubu is a core part of the problem for honouring a tribal supremacy arrangement but not the problem itself.

Well-said. We must take these people to task once and for all for Nigeria to move on progressively or for our nation to separate so the Fulanis morph with their Sahel brothers above them in nationhood and leave Nigeria .

You appear to have integrity. Makes me wonder why you are always attacking me here considering it is always crystal clear I want the best for Nigeria.

Ttalk:
Go back to school and stop messing around on social media.

It's funny to see online bully who doesn't know the difference between FATE and FAITH.

Lol. Uppercut kmockout. 🔥 🔥

Kukutente23:
Are you saying driving around without having a specific place you're going is suspicious and a crime in Lagos?
Are you aware Lagos also had its own SARS unit because you're talking as if RRS is the only unit in Lagos
Besides, what's the business of the police with driving against traffic? Are they traffic authority now?

Now it is obvious you are not to be taken seriously. Of course the police must stop and arrest anyone driving against traffic because such is is a criminal offence in Nigeria.

Emmy000seun:
Driving around Lagos is fun for me, because I have my documents complete and moreover I don't just go around without having a specific place am going to, so no matter the question you want to ask me I will answer you confidently..
More importantly I will never drive against traffic or act suspiciously if we come across..so tell me how will I have issues with you..

Commendable. We must do our part individually to create a working society. Lunacy to demand solutions from other if we are willing to drive against traffic and bribe to escape queues etc.

Emmy000seun:
The major problem of some people is that they haven't been to Lagos, knows how to navigate the city...one thing I realized is no matter how good a city( even outside Nigeria)will be, if you don't know your way around, it must lead to regret... they only believe on what they read online, there are some topic I can look away but when to say the truth and reality, it need to be said.. some people criticize what they don't know much about..

The bolded is the gospel truth. My experience with Lagos police is very good. Be law-abiding, have all the required document, and be polite and gracious, you won't have problems.

damkin24:
Get a life and be at peace with yourself

Precisely.

DomPerignon:
Good to see you guys are making a list for future .

I know if your Giringori ever became President , you will send this list to him and James Nwafor will do the rest.

Lol. Isn't it funny James Nwafor, Peter Obi's 'Man Friday' while he was governor of Anambra, has disappeared into thin air after the @ #EndSARS protests that identified Nwafor, Obi's pal and hatchet man, as the worst example of SARS murderous excesses and atrocities?

Emmy000seun:
Lol.😂..funny enough I'm not a supporter of APC, but if you get used to Lagos road and you have encounter with RRS in Lagos, you will realize they are more composed in doing their jobs, you hardly see them going after Yahoo boys like the regular police..
And if you claim it's federal, then why are other state not emulating there presence everywhere just like Lagos??.. back to the topic Lagos have enough security outfit..and moreover Lagos doesn't have forest like other southwest states so no much need for Amotekun..

💯% correct. Many of them are respectful, professional and eloquently polite. Tinubu magic did that but Nigerians can never rise above ethno-religious chauvinism to give credit to those who deserve it and perhaps learn lessons from them to make their own lives and corner of the earth better.

Many African nations are formally understudying the success of Lagos, that began under Tinubu, yet you have virtually everyone in the SE badmouthing Tinubu and Lagos daily because they believe Obi can profit politically.

The biggest problem of Nigeria is that we are the unluckiest nation in the world with how our people who are irreconcilably different and adversarial against themselves, are inclined to negatively pull, impede, frustrate and drag each other naturally were cobbled together rather than what other nations have where citizens generally head in the same positive direction.

Image123:
Operation sweep was a multi agency force and military styled. RRS was police. Police work should be distinct from soldier work.

The guy is just obdurately insufferable. Grown man who cannot work with 2+2=4 fact.

Kukutente23:
Na wa o
Your screenshot says it ended in July 1999 and was replaced by RRS. And you're still writing gibberish to what end if I may ask?
Tinubu took office in May 1999 Mr Zone B. Operation Sweep existed two clear months into his tenure till he renamed it into RRS in conjunctionwith the state Police command. Why is it so hard for you to take this education? I get it. It's hard to let go of what you've been brainwashed to believe like a mule that Tinubu created Lagos and everything in it.
Meanwhile, give a straight answer: What security challenge did RRS resolve that was bigger than that of Operation Sweep? That's were ill know where you were in the 90s

You are not someone that knows the meaning of the word integrity let alone be capable of being a representation of it.

You crafted many lies I have debunked with proven facts such the ludicrous claim operation sweep did everything better than RRS it was replaced with whereas RRS is miles superior.

This is why you guys, because of innate character flaws, are very difficult to take seriously.

Who lies to then be incapable of retracing their step when shown the factual and korokoro truth other than shamelessly dishonorable folks?

Kukutente23:
What achievement did RRS have that Operation Sweep was not better at?
Go and get properly informed beyond propaganda

Lol. The bolded says it all about your character. Well, I don't expect you to have the capacity for admitting the truth. Keep trying to con the gullible.

Those who defer to facts and proven reality will be laughing at you because they see your desperation to lie simply to deny Tinubu credit.

Don't come here attempting to launder the image of operation sweep merely because you cannot rise above bigotry to give "Yoruba President" credit ever.

Operation sweep had it's initial period of success but was virtually redundant and fading when Tinubu replaced it with the far better and far more effective RRS. 100% fact the whole world concedes bar you lot.

The security outfit had originally been formed in 1996 under the military administration of Colonel Mohammed Buba Marwa to combat rising crime in the metropolis. Following periods of tension and controversies involving the military squad in late 1998, the force was gradually withdrawn from public street patrols, before being officially dismantled and reformed into the police-led RRS upon Nigeria's return to democratic rule.

Sustainable Funding and Logistics: The RRS enjoys consistent backing from the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), ensuring its officers are equipped with dedicated patrol vehicles, communications gadgets, and protective gear. This consistent funding resolved the equipment decay that ultimately crippled Operation Sweep.

Image123:
Lolz, even the terrorists are under him in your world. Make i no stress myself.

Most of them are a disgrace because they are always ready to lie blatantly or deny factual truth in hope their political candidate (mainly Atiku or Obi) profit electorally.
