I'm the happiest person on earth because the South easterners refused to join in this protest. It's not as if they are not feeling or partaking in the national hunger and hardship but simply to avoid being tagged as a region that overthrow the Yoruba government of Tinubu.

What's this one saying ? Just opening your mouth to say rubbish.
People like me is old enough to know what your father did.
Your father dined with the devils without knowing how to use long spoon. Your father was the major contractor supplying a lot of things to ECOMOG then , working for Babangida and Abacha by proxy. It was simply business gone wrong between your father, Babangida and Abacha that later snowed ball into election matters. That's a FACT for those of us who sabi wetin happened.
Don't come and start brainwashing new
generation children about your nonsense talk.

Feintline:
I totally disagree.
Tinubu's case is the consequences of descrating the land in his desperate quest to grab power.

I decided to just seat and watch. Nothing happening comes as a suprise. I warned here severally of the consequences of tinubu desecrating the land and removing the ancient landmark of the fathers in his desperate quest for power but it fell on deaf ears.

I warned here severally that tinubu has triggered a curse on the land with his desecrations.

I warned here severally that nothing tinubu will do will make sense no matter who he appoints because of the curse he triggered in his quest for power.

The dearth in the land is not about tinubu as a person.
It is about what was done for tinubu to grab power.

We must repair the desecrations for our nation to have a hope of revival.
All the desecrators from tinubu executive arm to the legislature and judiciary must be patrotic enough to get out, so as to repair the damage.
Every person who had a hand or benefited from removing the ancient landmark of the land to usher in this unparalled dearth in the nation should be patrotic and sacrificial enough to do the right thing . The Country is bleeding profusely

People need to calm down and see the bigger picture.

Tinubu don already start to make moves wey go change things for better.

Na only when we give am time and support we go see the real impact of his leadership.

Na God get control of everything, and this na just part of the journey.

Make we no allow our emotions cloud our judgment.

Tinubu is here to stay, and he’s for the common man!


What moves has Tinubu made since taking office that put us in a better place? ... what has he done so far? Name two ... any two. What he has shown us so far is that he has been making moves to affect us ... to move us backwards ... and I can name a lot ...as in the weakening of the Naira ... deteriorating security issues ... increasing cost of living ... a minimum wage with wayyy less buying power than the previous one.... reducing the national reserves ... increasing the national debt by borrowing billions with nothing to shown for it... I'll stop here. You name two things he did that are positive.Back up what you're saying.

Isn't this the same man who during the Buhari regime as president told Nigerians to give Buhari another term because he was following the footsteps of your father?
After Buhari's 8 years of disaster,you now jumped on Tinubu's bandwagon to now claim that Tinubu is following the footsteps of your father!

So my question is what has changed?
Are you implying that your father's economic policies or blueprint which was copied by Buhari was a disaster?
Well you know those whom you can deceive!

Besides,your father was not even as righteous as the media made us to believe so stop using your father to gaslight and deceive the gullible!

If I'm to follow your foolish analysis, since u can get a good room and parlour self contain in a good area in Nigeria at #250k, and u can never get same feature in UK with a less than #1.5m in UK, then Nigeria is better than UK grin.

Na you get low IQ but continue 😂

Minimum wage was just 18k in 2015 yes, but that 18k can buy you 2 bags of rice.

Now that your mentally unstable Yoruba agbado brother is on the throne and increased minimum wage to 70k, can that 70k get you 1 bag of rice??

The answer is No.

Mumu IQ man and Chief analyzer use your brain not everything is tribal war.

11th January, 2012

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.
He, however, provided a window out of the crisis: if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.
“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.
“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”
But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.
“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour. The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”
But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.
“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office. The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities. People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind.”
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed, he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken.
“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”
The former governor however counselled protesters to go about the protests in a peaceful manner, and to eschew all forms of violence.

Tinubu did and stood by his actions and explained it's goodness. That is presidential.

Buhari so so weak, Jonathan so much weaker, yaradua weak only Obasanjo stubborn small. reverting policies severally created more problems. Yaradua cancelled & reverse the sales of NNPC refineries and yet refinery didn't work till now while paying turnaround and salaries to NNPC for doing nothing. Jonathan removed subsidy and reverted back after he has successfully used military to stop the protest, why the reversal if you actually know what you are doing. Same as buhari, worse as emefele just they go from and back on policies.
If this Tinubu reversed these policies, then Nigeria can never get it right. Do something different to get different results is d game.

what is the something different that tinubu has done and what are the results of the thing he has done differently?

does it include the following...

dollar from 700naira to 1600
bag of rice from 30,000 to 80,000
inflation from 22.79% to 40.7%
from june 2023 to december 2023, tinubu borrowed N3.8tr despite his imaginary savings he said he has made from removing fuel subsidy. the same subsidy he fought jonathan not to remove.

he has really turned things around. which turning around are you still expecting? grin grin cheesy cheesy

Believeintruth:


Bros you are defending a lost cause. Subsidy is normally practiced in developed societies in so many form. The issue here is Nigeria is organised stealing in the name of subsidy. Nothing stop Tinubu if he is sincere in auditing the subsidy regime and plugging loopholes, shebi he is a first class accounting graduate as you people touted. Also it is worthy to note that they have since reintroduced subsidy via the backdoor, but due to the double whammy of unification of exchange rate he is paying double what he should have paid before in subsidy.
When a policy is wrong there is no harm reversing it following civil unrest. There's nothing presidential in Tinubu's decision, it is just sheer arrogance and rhe fact that he doesn't regard the poor(yorubas inclusive).

this is very intelligent but it has always been the simple truth which I dont understand why many cant see it. you are blessed for this.

see the clown making noise some years ago advocating against subsidy removal.

I'm the happiest person on earth because the South easterners refused to join in this protest. It's not as if they are not feeling or partaking in the national hunger and hardship but simply to avoid being tagged as a region that overthrow the Yoruba government of Tinubu.

Who are the majority in Abuja Protest?

Low IQ people who wake their father up I'm the morning with a leg kick.
Do u remember to add that the minimum wage in 2025 was paltry #18k but now #70,000?
Do u also remember that COVID 19 was after 2015 and that all countries not even one left behind are still struggling to ameliorate its effect. UK has had cause to change 4 different Prime minister since COVID, just within 4 years.
If I'm to follow your foolish analysis, since u can get a good room and parlour self contain in a good area in Nigeria at #250k, and u can never get same feature in UK with a less than #1.5m in UK, then Nigeria is better than UK grin.
But the indexes are not same and I won't follow that stupid analysis.
Continue in your fooly kid.



You are a very very dumb nigger #18k minimum wage during gej tenure will conveniently get u a bag of rice for #8k and still have change of #10k but ur drug lord minimum wage of #70k can't even buy the same bag of rice today for #80k. Ur notorious drug lord has completely destroyed the economy of nigeria but yet agbado zombies like u still come here to shamelessly defend his useless economic policies because of tribal bigotry.
