I've got to say the man has a point. Nigerians don't put enough pressure on the their state governments and LGs to deliver. Everyone focuses only on the FG

Who cares, Its still their kids that will get jobs in those departments. They can locate the departments on the moon for all I care. It doesn't affect me or my family.

Watianoengineer:
For those blaming APC and president Tinubu for the hardship in the country, are you all aware that UK and Japan are currently in economic recession? Is it APC and Tinubu that is ruling both nations? Nobody should blame APC and Tinubu for the rot the PDP government of Jonathan caused. What we are suffering today is the result of the Jonathan government's recklessness. Peter Obi and his PDP gang brought Nigeria to her knees. May God help our dear president Tinubu to fix the country like he did in Lagos.

Its better to keep quiet, and let people think you are senseless, than to open your mouth and remove all doubts.

On his mandate they shall stand!

They said they will teach Peter Obi a lesson(Who is teaching who now?)

They said Muslim-Muslim ticket is a victory for Islam in Nigeria. Shey an Quran they go chop now?

Under Tinubu Nigerians will FINALLY get sense by fire by force!

The same system we had that collapsed in the 1st republic. Nonsense
We just need to have a proper federal system, with the states and LG having full fiscal autonomy and resource control. No more sharing money as monthly allocation. That will force us to move from consumption to production

Simple demand and supply. We import practically everything plus we now also source FX for school fees and healthcare. What do you expect will happen?
The governors and LG are totally useless. Not one state in the country has an industrial strategy or an end to end agriculture strategy. All they do is collect and share monthly allocation.
The party has come to an end. Every level of govt in this country needs to focus on Production and not consumption, just like the Man said during the campaign

As usual the discussions in Nigeria are filled with falsehoods.

I don't like/support Tinubu, but the truth must always be said. Tinubu did NOT remove fuel subsidy, Buhari did. The allowance for payment of fuel subsidy in the current budget was only till June. I am not saying Tinubu did not support and endorse the policy, but it was originally conceived and put in place by Buhari. Buhari knew Nigeria could not afford subsidy, but he was too much of a coward to do it while he was in office, so he set the subsidy removal to kick in when the next govt was in office so they would face the heat. Buhari was the WORST thing to ever happen to Nigeria.

So many states now have state police in all but name. It's time we took the next logical step and allowed states set up proper state police forces to compliment the National police.

The Emir is not an illiterate, so he should know perfectly well why some offices of CBN have been moved to Lagos. Nowhere in the world are all the departments of a central bank in a single location. Why do we always look to bring ethnic sentiments into everything?

onez:
There is no sugarcoating the reality. The economy has gotten out of hand. The corrupt fools have no clue of what to do. Any action they take worsens it. The masses only have option now. People should leave their offices and shops and march to Abuja and sack Tinubu immediately.

The Yoruba and Northern Muslims that voted for him, should be in the front of the protest

Ayatullah:


This is to notify all Israeli slaves and their masters that, with their open cruelty which the world has witnessed, especially the youths of Palestine, something worse than October 7, 2023 is highly likely to be repeated in future over and over again against the Israelis.

And the Israel will reply with something even worse than what they have done since October 8th. Nobody has a monopoly on terror as Isreal is showing.
If the Palestinians have ANY sense in their heads, after this war, they should seek out Mandela like leaders who promote peace and co-existence, not useless jihad and violence. With such leaders they will be reach a sensible deal with Israel that will benefit both peoples. Failing that they can consign themselves to another 25 years of death and misery.

OP, That must have been quite traumatic for you guys on the plane.

EdiskyHarry:
Nobody would have believed that one day Nigeria will have a president that will beat buhari's record as the worst president of all time in the history of Africa.
Really sad. Tinubussss government is worse than Abacha

Very easy to believe. Did we not all see the campaigns? Why is anybody acting surprised now? Did Tinubu make a SINGLE sensible comment during the campaign? As usual Nigerians seem to think they can vote for incompetents based on primordial sentiments of tribe and religion, and somehow, those same incompetents will favour them. We are our own worst enemies

Crucialgem:
Everybody has something to say about Nigeria economy but things are not getting better I think what we need now is prayer and spiritual intervention rather than Nigeria curse and lamentation

Your craze dey take sterioids!
Countries develop by implementing sound economic and social polices and following the rule of law, not by prayer. Get your head out of the clouds and into the REAL world

Many Yoruba's thought it would be 'business as usual' That it was now their turn to chop and clean mouth. What they did not understand was that Buhari and his goons have emptied the account over the last 8 years. There's nothing left. Even our oil for this year has already been sold. CBN can no longer lend money to govt. Everything don scatter scatter.
That's what happens when the so called President has an attitude of 'Na Statistics we go chop' and educated people still go and vote for him.
Anyway sha, na martial music me I dey wait for

What did he do for children when he was a minister?

2elliot:
Over 12 bags. The hunger in the land no concern me. I am from an oil producing place. So, I am comfortable. I have a job that earns me around #400k; and I also have another work that pays me over #350k every month for doing absolutely nothing. All these are aside the allowances and other bonuses I get. I was recently paid some money by Shell for damages as their proposed new gas pipeline passed through my land.
I am not married and do not plan to do so as most Nigerian girls are useless. I still live in my family house with my mom in her big house, so I spend even a lot less. I want to focus on making more money and do my music for pleasure. Nothing concerns me with Nigeria and her madness. I have minimised my comments on the politics section. Agbadorians can stand on Bats manhood for all I care, I go survive. As far as oil and gas still flows in my place, I won't be broke.

You are wise beyond your years.
I simply don't understand why any Nigerian man under 40 would consider marriage. Spend your 20's and 30's building up wealth and enjoying a wide range of women.Get married in your 40s when you are established and can afford everything that goes with raising a family, without stress

If the LP aspirant doesn't lose his deposit, I am joining Obidients... ... OK I no go join Obidients lai lai but I will think of a suitable forfeit.

market woman that is fluent in their local tongue over a tested man that has graced the boardrooms of some of the largest companies in Nigeria?
Truly Nigerians are the cause of their own problems

So you would prefer a motor park tout or

I am an Edo man, and my inital reaction was 'What nonsense is this?'
However after watching the video, I must admit there are some interesting facts hat have been raised. I will definitly be looking to investigate this further.

Wisdomclass1:
I'm not an igbo bt I have this to say

"Nobody will stand by you..." after insulting the southern intelligence, mostly of the igbos and us the Niger Deltans, you're now using your propaganda to call this riot a tribal thing. So because Tinububu is from d South, we should continue like this ?

We will match with the North. We stand with the North. Take ur tribal narratives elsewhere. Tinubu must go... infact, let d army do d job for us.

If you are too dumb not to understand how Nigeria REALLY works go ahead and join any root. The North NEVER riot against their own
. If Tinubu is brought down tomorrow, who do you think will replace him?
The only protest I will support is one for total restructuring of this country.

Big Fat No!!

The North have NEVER joined any riot against a northern leader (1989 SAP riot, 1993/94 June 12 riots, 2021 End Sars). The North only know how to riot when it's against a southern president.

I don't like Tinubu, I will NEVER support him, but I also will NEVER join any march against him, even though he and his SW people betrayed the SS.

Useless judgement. So if government suddenly announces thar the price of rice is N20000, do you think any trader will actually sell at that price, if it costs them 40000 to import the rice?

Save Nigeria group is only active when the President is not a Yoruba person
Arewa only have mouth when the President is not a Northerner.
Tribalism has always been the worst problem in Nigeria

Aboki did not see hunger for 8 years under Buhari, it's now they see hunger. Na lie! i did not, and can never vote Tinubu, but I will NEVER join any protest agaisnt him. it's only when it's a southerner in office that the North suddenly know how to protest. They did it aginast GEJ, and now want to do the same agaisnt Tinubu. We should leave them to it, by 2027 maybe they would have learnt a leason and wil not rush to vote 'Muslim-Muslim' ticket

G00dharddick:



SS and se won't join this protest. This protest is simply for the West and north. Nothing concern the rest regions otherwise the west will tag it an igbo protest sponsored by Obi to rubbish Tinubu govt. So let the protest be strictly for the West and north only

May you remain blessed all your days
Nobody in SS and SE should join any rubbish protest. We did everything we could to change this country for the better in the last election and the SW and North said a big fat no. Now let them enjoy their Muslim-Muslim 'Na statistics we go chop' Presidency. Shebi they said it will benefit them and their families!

LEGALSER:


E don dey start, e go soon spread.

As long as it only spreads in the North, no wahala. During Endsars where their Imams not saying 'Protest is Haram'? Suddenly they know how to protest.

The Thunder that will fire these Abokis' is still doing push ups, it will come soon!

Stupid people. For 8 years they did not know how to protest. Was this not the same Niger state that Bandits were occupying multiple LG's, they did not protest.
Now it's a Southerner in power suddenly Aboki knows how to protest. When they were voting muslim-muslim ticket they did not know. They should all go and sit down. We shall suffer this suffer together for the next 8 years. Nigerians must finally get sense, by fire by force

coputa:
The worse civilian government is better than the best military government

Military government is synonymous with dictatorship

Go and research what the exchange rate was under Abacha. What the price of foodstuffs and fuel were. The military was MASSIVELY better, and we urgently need them back

Did Jesus ever mandate paying of tithe? Everything about tithe is in the old testament, it's all a big con used by fake pastors to Rob the gullible

nairalanda1:
State police cannot work in NIgeria.

Now, before you start calling me anti-progress, and anti-People, and fulani lackey, I believe that every state should have a police force. But in NIgeria, we got two issues

1.Most of the states do not have the funding to fund a properly equipped police force. Yes, the security votes they give governors could help, but to form a police force, with working equipment, forensics, training, and well armed is going to take more than just security vote.

Our current VP when he was governor used his security vote one year to buy 48 hilux trucks for the security forces. NOw imagine he was fuding state police. THat means after buying the hilux, he has no cash left over. OK.o. And value of naira has fallen since 2013.

2.Tribal and religious bias. SO what happens when there is tribal and religious conflict, and the police is majoirty from one side of the tribe? SOme people can still remember the pogroms of the 1960's. Police could do nothing. MOst of them were from one side.

ANyway, until states are ready to tax more of their gdp, and until we wake up and realize why we need fairness, we are not ready for state police. (Splitting the country won't solve the problems either)

You have raised some valid points, but these can all be addressed:
1.Most of the states do not have the funding to fund a properly equipped police force. Yes, the security votes they give governors could help, but to form a police force, with working equipment, forensics, training, and well armed is going to take more than just security vote.
--The FG budget would be drastically reduced as a lot of the functions will now be carried out by state police, so basically the FG can 'rebate' funds to the states for policing

2.Tribal and religious bias. SO what happens when there is tribal and religious conflict, and the police is majoirty from one side of the tribe? SOme people can still remember the pogroms of the 1960's. Police could do nothing. MOst of them were from one side.
---State police does not mean the end of Federal police. Many countries have multiple levels of law enforcement from town to state to Federal The Federal police would still exist and would mainly be dealing with crimes across state boundries, economic crimes and prevention of wide scale break down in law and order. If there were other such tribal based riots, it would be the Federal police that would have the responsibility to maintain law and order and protect innocent people

Basically the current situation is simply not working. Effective law and order must start from the grassroots upwards.
