I thought they said that this ugly baboon is a strategist? I hope yall can now see what we who lived in Lagos during his tenure as governor saw that made us refuse to support him.

We warned you guys that this mad man was riding on the success of Fashola, you people resufed to listen. If I talk now, some Ozuor will accuse me of being Igbo.



This was how you people gaslighted Nigerians for 8 years under Buhari, we persevered and endured untold hardship after being told that our sufferings will soon end, now you people are doing it again under Tinubu. By the time Nigerians realise what is going on, we may no longer have a country.

Pray tell, who's mess is Tinubu cleaning? Because it sure isn't Jonathan's. That ship has looooooong sailed. I mean, it's already too far gone to blame Goodluck now so who should we blame? Why aren't we blaming anyone again? Buhari spent more than 6 years blaming Jonathan until it stopped working. So why is everywhere silent? Why aren't we playing the blame game again?

Imagine how woefully this man is performing despite the fact that he's under pressure to impress Nigerians and the Supreme Court Justices. Imagine what will now happen if peradventure he's affirmed by the S.C? Una go learn.

APC IS EVIL INCARNATE!
THE EARLIER NIGERIANS REALISE THIS AND PURGE THEM OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, THE BETTER FOR US AND OUR CHILDREN.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Thanks for your submission.
I’m a Nigerian youth in my twenties. I secure my first job a month after service. Have change Job three times and currently I work at the comfort of my home. The population of Nigeria keep growing exponentially. People give birth without a clear plan.
Currently I’m enjoying being a Nigerian. Have been a law abiding citizen and I can boldly says have never involve in crime or any fraudulent activities.
I make my money legally. What help me is simple, I think outside the box, keep improving my self. Everyday I ask myself what can I contribute to Nigeria. What problem can I solve. Nigeria need a lot of problem solver. You don’t need a total enabling environment to thrive. Even with this current situation, a problem solver will thrive. People have problems and they are looking for solution. If everyone can start thinking of solution and stop complaining, Nigeria will be great.

It’s only in Nigeria I see people want you to fail all because you share different ideology.
The government need our support, if you feel they are doing something wrongly, instead of complaining provide a clear cut solution. In fact suggest solutions. Then we gonna have a community that’s ready to thrive.
Lol

Your government claimed they're capable of the task isn't it? What birth emilokan please? All past government and present once claimed they're capable of the task even though sane Nigerians know they have nothing to offer them. Why should we provide solutions to what you're being employed for please? Tinubu and others got elected on the basis that they're the best amongst others capable for the job.

If you're being employed as a teacher, will they still help you to teach the students? Stop being clever by half young man. Your leaders claim to be the best after bread and butter and capable of the task. You want Nigerians to continue to die in silence right? I laugh at you in Swahili if that's your mission. If you care to know, once hardship is getting too much in the country it could resist to anarchy. You're not safe with that your job. Have you ever wondered why people are running away from the country? Or you think all of them are just after making money abroad? Some are running for their safety if you care to know. Their family aren't safe living amongst the poor that could barely feed daily.

I love the fact that you're earning millions in your early 20s but sadly, there are millions of other Nigerians roaming the streets on a daily basis jobless. There are millions of Nigerians that doesn't know where their next meal will come from. That doesn't make you better than them if you care to know. Once it gets to the stage that an average Nigerians cannot afford 3 square meal daily then it's obvious even to the blind that your government has failed woefully.

You're only clever by half that's the truth. Being patriotic doesn't mean you shouldn't criticise the government in their shortcomings. You put them in that office. You have the power to recall them back.

Change your wack mentality of asking an average Nigerians that could barely feed what's their contribution to the country when they're obeying the law of the land as a citizen. Even rich Nigerians doesn't have any right under the constitution to contribute their resources in the country. Only our commonwealth resources shared amongst those corrupt leaders are meant for the good of the land.

Peace

Sense of entitlement to their responsibility? Sense of entitlement with their pockets money? Maybe you think you're talking with a toddler

I should start a humanitarian project with which money? Did your government provide jobs for the teeming youths? Did they provide enabling environment? Is your life secure up northern region? Can you confidently go to farm in the northern region without fear of bandits, herdsmen, kidnappers et al?

What are the provisions put in place for those youths corpers after service? Why do we continue to have high rate of unemployment and poverty in the country? Can you boast that an average Nigerians can afford 45k+ for a bag of rice? Can an average Nigerians afford descent meal daily?

Your leaders shared cups of rice and garri as palliative to few fractions of Nigerians. Does that make sense to you in this age and time? If you failed your citizenship education in high school, then i suggest you go back to it once again

My responsibility as a citizen is to obey the law. Government responsibility as leaders representing Nigerians across the federation is to provide adequate security of lives and property, job opportunities, quality education, quality healthcare, eradicate poverty, descent wage, infrastructure et al.

Stop being clever by half. You're not more Nigerian than others.
I love your response.... it's a shame that alot of Nigerians don't know what they deserve and that's why someone in his right senses would be defending these nonsense leaders.

The same person whom we were told did miracles in Lagos compared to other governors of his time.

We were asked to go and visit Lagos and see the wonders he performed.


I told them, this man asked Buhari to print more currencies and employ 50 thousand youths into the Nigerian army and feed them with agbado and pay them nothing.


They said he graduated with first class in accounting. Now, he floated the naira and give it a free way access....


Food stuffs are now 500times expensive more than what ordinary Nigerians would afford.

Somebody with no basic common sense can succeed as a leader if he or she has good advisers. Why do you think floating the naira is wrong?. Don't you know it is criminal for the CBN to be selling dollars at 450 while it is 750 in the open market across the road?. Which other country is such happening and they even seize dollar that does not belong to them!. Even till now. So far you are not able to access your own dollars in cash and change anytime you want then the naira is not yet floated fully. It is not yet a free market but the value is still determined by the printing of money they do anyhow to replace taxation

Alot of Nigerians don't understand how bad our economy is, they think its just to build roads and start farming etc.
Nigeria's economy needs a complete overhaul and the measures taken yet are just the beginning.
More hardship is on the way but like the saying the darkest hour is just before dawn, Nigeria's dawn is almost here, we just have to endure the darkness a little longer.
Tinubu doesn't have what it takes to fix Nigeria. Stop deceiving yourself or having false hope

Have you gone to price this innoson car? This is the voodoo economics we keep talking about. Ban importation or increase import duties and make imported items very expensive. The alternatives that are locally made are even more expensive
... what makes those cars expensive..is the high costs of producing the cars ...due to the harsh environment of doing business in nigeria...no constant electricity light, high costs of fuel , disel in running the company with generator, bad roads, multiple taxation, 1000 naira to a dollar all this causes the costs of production to be high ..and if its expensive...the rich nigerians that can afford the expensive innoson cars do not buy the car...they prefer to buy expensive luxurious foreign cars ..it's hardly to see a rich man and politician driving innoson motors in nigeria...the all go for foreign cars . because they do not value what they have in nigeria

Firstly, the naira was not really floated against the dollar, they just pegged it at the current dollar rate at the time which alleviated the pressure on the naira at the time, but like some of us were advising then, it doesn't really solve the issue of fx unavailability long term as we see now with the black market rate rocketing to over 1,000.
Secondly, what exactly is being done that makes you believe that the darkness is almost over? I'm not gunning for a fight honestly, just really curious
I like your attitude.
We are trying to tackle the elephant in the room. I supported and voted for Obi because I felt he would have the boldness to take the hard decisions our economy desperately needs. I felt Tinubu and atiku will not be able to do anything because they are benefiting from the system but Tinubu is taking the exact decisions I expected Obi to take.
You will agree with me that Nigeria's economy is bad, very bad and if we don't want Sri Lanka to happen to us, hard decisions need to be made. Tinubu is making them, he has not fully convinced me but he is doing much better than I anticipated.
Thanks.

The plaster was ripped off from the wound with the subsidy removal and floating on naira to get it's TRUE value. No point living a fake life. We are now seeing what the Nigerian economy is for really what it is. The Nigerian economy at large was a lipstick on a pig. Now we can rebuild after accessing how bad it really is.
That's my point, our economy is BAD and we need to start taking drastic actions to make it better.

We all agree the subsidy had to go and i believe any one of the aspirants that won would have removed the subsidy, maybe not as quickly and shoddy as Tinubu did his. Tinubu's lack of foresight in the fx debacle has put us in a very bad state, his lack of proper planning for subsidy removal also has worsened the economy. Any honest scoring of this government will be an excellent failure, so once again I ask, why do you believe things will get better soon?

I don't know which metric you are using but in most metrics of business, you find more Yoruba than Igbo. Highest paid CEOs of public companies, Nigerian founded companies with most employees, visible high net worth individuals and almost any metric you want to use but we must realize people living on Yoruba land in SW NC and SS are not less than eighty million or there abouts. On Igbo land in SE and SS the population will be under forty million. So that is the reason for the gap

Any meter given to you by phcn for free isn't free you will definitely pay for it but indirectly. secondly the meter you paid for is different from the one they force on you..Note: meter advantage is for those who lives alone not shared apartments and are not always around..You can't live as u like on prepaid meter if you are the type that works from home, there's limitation to house appliances like Aircon, hotplate, iron and pumping machine..
