Is this a democracy or a monarchy? Where in our constitution is that mentioned? It is just courtesy being given to him, which should not be seen as a right.

Many of you don't have sense really.

Reverse the scenario and reason what wike would have said.

The king has spoken and it will stand as such

JASONjnr:
Wike doesn't care......

If Fubara is a weakling, he should stay away from politics or be a puppet.......

We want APC to win Rivers state by all means.....

You lots don't even hide your evil intentions and wickedness anymore.

This dog of a sycophant should use any generative AI to assess the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda. See the one from Grok below;

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled his eight-point agenda in August 2023, aiming to address Nigeria’s socioeconomic challenges within three years. The agenda includes:
(1) Food Security,
(2) Ending Poverty,
(3) Economic Growth and Job Creation,
(4) Access to Capital,
(5) Improving Security,
(6) Improving the Playing Field for Businesses,
(7) Rule of Law, and
( Fighting Corruption.

Nearly two years into his administration, as of March 14, 2025, progress can be assessed based on available data and developments, though comprehensive, up-to-date official reports specific to all eight points are limited. Here’s an evaluation based on what’s known:

1. Food Security
Tinubu’s administration has aimed to boost agricultural output to address food insecurity, exacerbated by inflation and insecurity. Farmers have returned to some areas due to improved security, and initiatives like the Dry Season Farming program, launched in late 2023, have sought to increase production. However, food inflation remains high—around 40% as reported in posts on X in 2024—suggesting that supply hasn’t yet met demand effectively. The removal of fuel subsidies has also driven up transportation and production costs, offsetting some gains. Progress exists, but it’s partial and uneven.

2. Ending Poverty
Poverty alleviation hinges on job creation and social interventions. Programs like conditional cash transfers and the promised student loans (yet to fully roll out) aim to support vulnerable populations. However, inflation (around 35% in 2024 per X posts) and a stagnant minimum wage—still at ₦30,000 despite promises of an increase—have deepened economic hardship for many. Subsidy removal savings, estimated at $10 billion, have not visibly translated into widespread poverty relief, with critics on X noting funds appear "stuck" in bureaucracy. Little tangible progress is evident here.

3. Economic Growth and Job Creation
Tinubu targeted 6% GDP growth and 👉50 million jobs👈 . GDP growth has hovered around 3% (per X posts in 2025), far below the goal, though reforms like exchange rate unification and subsidy removal have stabilized reserves and improved trade balances. Local refining capacity has increased with the Dangote Refinery and NNPCL efforts, reducing import reliance. Job creation data is less clear—some infrastructure projects and security operations have generated employment, but unemployment remains high at 5% (X posts), with youth unemployment likely worse. Progress is slow and below targets.

4. Access to Capital
Efforts to enhance access to capital, particularly consumer credit, have seen limited rollout. The student loan scheme, a flagship promise, has faced delays, with no significant disbursements reported by early 2025. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) still struggle with high interest rates and limited credit access, despite rhetoric about stimulating entrepreneurship. The naira’s devaluation (over 70% since 2023) has attracted some foreign investment, but domestic capital access remains constrained. Minimal progress so far.

5. Improving Security
Security has seen notable strides. The administration claims over 8,000 criminals neutralized and 10,000 people rescued, enabling farming resumption in parts of the North. Banditry and insurgency persist, however, with ongoing violence reported in 2025 (X posts and Amnesty critiques from 2023). Military operations have intensified, but a comprehensive resolution remains elusive. Progress is significant but incomplete.

6. Improving the Playing Field for Businesses
Exchange rate unification and subsidy removal aim to level the economic playing field by reducing distortions. Non-oil exports grew 6.3% in 2024 (NBS via X), though oil still dominates at 90% of earnings, indicating slow diversification. Infrastructure development, like railway projects with Chinese support, has progressed, but manufacturers report challenges with power and costs. The agenda’s promise of a fairer business environment is advancing, but structural issues persist.

7. Rule of Law
Tinubu’s commitment to the rule of law has been questioned. Appointments like a minister without an NYSC certificate (noted on X in 2023) and perceived judicial interference have drawn criticism. No major judicial reforms or high-profile accountability measures have been highlighted. Progress here appears stagnant or undermined by political actions.

8. Fighting Corruption
Anti-corruption efforts have ramped up via the EFCC, with increased public campaigns and some high-profile probes (e.g., subsidy-related cases). However, critics argue Tinubu’s own past and political alliances limit credibility—X users in 2023 called him "the face of corruption." No systemic overhaul or convictions of major political figures have been widely reported. Efforts are visible but lack transformative impact.

Overall Assessment
Tinubu’s administration has made strides in security, economic stabilization, and refining capacity, aligning with parts of the agenda. However, food security, poverty reduction, job creation, and capital access lag significantly, hampered by inflation, slow policy execution, and unfulfilled promises like student loans and wage increases. GDP growth and unemployment figures (from X posts) suggest the economy isn’t yet on the promised trajectory. Security gains are tempered by persistent violence, and anti-corruption and rule-of-law efforts lack depth. As of March 14, 2025, progress is mixed—some foundation laid, but significant results remain elusive, with many Nigerians still feeling the pinch of reforms without broad benefits. Data gaps and sentiment on X underscore a narrative of frustration alongside pockets of optimism.

Posting this drivel all over the place won't change the facts that businesses are closing down since your drug baron came in.

Multiple taxation with nothing to show
Cost of living is high
No minimum wages

Lies no dey taya una

mrvitalis:
I said GDP you are showing GDP per capita

Don't you read what you posted?
I said GDP per capita dropped by 40% oga

GDP and GDP per capita are not the same

Nigeria GDP per capita was 1596 dollars in 2023
Now it's 850 dollars in 2024 ... So it's even more than 40% I called earlier


Now to GDP nigeria GDP was 363 billion dollars in 2023
Now in 2025 it's 194 billion dollars that's a 47.5% drop which is not far from my 50% statement

You are wasting your time with that thing.

President Tinubu is currently one of the best president in the world.

We are here to debate that logically.. No be mouth it sure for us ni

Debate is for persons with grey matter with a reasonable IQ and EQ.

Watch how Tinubu will start visiting church leaders. He will visit Pastor Paul Enenche

He will send his wife to start cleaning up shit.

She will tell you her husband is a good man and if he was a bigot, he would have stopped her from going to church

We won't fall for that

He behaves as if he fell directly from heaven. All his life people have helped him to climb the ladder. Before he became gov he prostrated before mama peace but today he is insulting patience Jonathan's ancestors.

Even spirits that came from heaven and hell sef no dey talk careless as wike dey boast

RevDesm0ndJuju:
The rent seeking class in the north will support Amaechi whom they see as very pliable and subservient to the north. Amaechi's history of subservience to the north is there to see starting from his days as Rivers state governor and a major funding party to the APC. As minister for close to 8ys, Amaechi pandered more to the north. Amaechi is the preferred southern candidate that the cabal wanted to replace Buhari until the Emilokan Tsunami hit the APC primaries.


Even some obidient imbes in the SE will switch to Amaechi after dumping Obi as Amaechi will appeal to their tribalism wet dreams by deploying his usual 'I am an Ibo man from Rivers. Ikwere is Ibo " to get those ones in the yeast to support his candidacy .

One thing is sure and that Amaechi will ensure Obi ends up as a distant fourth place.

if you don't quote obi and SE, your day will never end well.
