While it seems criticisms of the president are apt, certain facts must be cleared.

Presidential transportation worldwide is a serious security matter. In our case, air transport of the president is handled by the Nigerian Airforce. If the airforce says a jet is unfit to fly the president because it might have stayed in service longer than specified, hence a potential aviation threat, it is only fair that we listen to them. We do not need to like them.

Those suggesting that the president must fly commercial or use his personal vehicles (like Deji Adeyanju) are not aware of the potential security threats. A Nigerian head of state was assassinated in broad daylight in his official car, while another one was murdered for not taking their security serious.

The aircraft here does not belong to Tinubu. It belongs to the Federal Government. Once Tinubu leaves power, he won't take the jet with him. So those accusing Tinubu of purchasing a private jet for himself are being ludicrous.

Yesterday, Charly Boy lied that the president's official car, Cardilac Escalade is worth almost 1 billion naira. A simple internet search showed that the vehicle is about 250 million naira. Still expensive, why did Charly Boy have to lie? When Buhari exited power, he didn't leave with the Maybach. The vehicle was not his. The Cardilac does not belong to Tinubu. DSS handles his ground transportation. Why not question DSS for proposing that vehicle?

And for those who are just realizing, the Cardilac Escalade SUV had been in use since last year and sighted several times in the convoy, how come they are just seeing it? The vice president is driven in one of such vehicles. How come they have not seen it?

Anyway, Kenneth Okonkwo says people are dying of hunger and there is no fuel or electricity. It is not Tinubu's job to cultivate arable land nationwide. It is not Tinubu's job to provide buses to transport people within states. These are things state governors can easily undertake on their own, and even local governments. We have seen the Niger State governor buy such buses. Once the burden of transportation is removed, the issue of fuel price would not bother so many.

The fact is that the president is being blamed for policies, but all presidential candidates agreed that subsidy on petrol needed to be removed. Even the messianic pontiff said he'd remove it on day 1. Suddenly, Tinubu is being condemned for taking the decision to save us from economic doom. It didn't make sense that we were borrowing to pay subsidies. Also, the removal of the parallel trade of fx was to tackle the fx fraud that drained our resources.

This meant that increased allocation could be used for developmental purposes in the states. What do the state governors do instead? We find them doing Hajj subsidies and Ramadan feeding, purchasing vehicles for traditional rulers, buying wheelbarrows to turn their unemployed youth to mai-barrow in the markets, and stacking funds for elections they are not sure of living to partake in.

Dear governors, learn one basic thing: from what happened in Kano during the August riots, when people take to the streets, they'd target governors first and they can only move up the ladder once they have brought you down.

You still have time to work for your people and address the basic problems of food security and transportation within your state. We shall criticize the president for the things we must criticize him on.

Fair enough, then he shouldn't fly. Or he borrows a plane from neighbouring countries. He should show that the austerity is also affecting them at the top. That is what the insensitivity Kenneth was talking about means.
Are you going to go and buy a car cos your old one is unsafe to drive when your business is showing serious signs of trouble and you can't feed yourself?
Food for thought

Ebonygeek:
There's a woman who lives opposite my compound with her husband and three children. One of the kids is a teenager, another one's a toddler and the last is still a baby.

The toddler is a little girl who they don't actively monitor, so she gets into all sorts of mischief like playing around in dirty puddles, treasure hunting in nearby bushes, etc.

The strange thing about her handlers is that whenever they catch her, they shout at her or even smack her...for being a child. It's the nature of children, especially toddlers, to.do those things.

My point is this: her mother claims to.be a Christian. She goes to church, goes for vigils, puts those stickers that declare one's victory over satan every year on her door, etc.

But yet, she gets so.angry when that little girl.does what little kids do. And she makes statements that shouldn't be uttered at children.


Here's what the scriptures say about anger:

Colossians 3:8 KJV
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

When a person becomes a Christian, you're not just expected to obey the ten commandments. There are a host of.emotions you're expected to abandon as well, the greatest one being anger.

Anger acts as a direct hindrance to your prayers.

Matthew 5:23-24 KJV
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; [24] Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Here, the scriptures say that when we make offerings to God, we must ensure that we are at peace with everyone.

The characteristics that show you're actually a Christian who pleases God are these: Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

So dear Christian, examine your life and ask yourself whether you're on the broad road or the narrow road.

Yes and you are going to join them there

Lalami3232:

I hate this yeye word wey dem dey say "no talk you be man, a real man no suppose dey talk much". Anybody wey go repeat that word for my ear go collect fresh baked slap. Una go dey make men dey die in silence with una mumu phrase of "real men don't talk" bla bla bla.
Person wey dem dey pinch na suppose dey shout. So you can't be hitting me hard and expect me to keep mute all because of "been a man". If I may ask, who wrote the law that "real men don't talk" ?
Dangote is a real man abi? Shebi una see as he dey talk recently?? You can't be showing me shege and expect me to keep mute all because a man no suppose talk. Men no get emotions too? Allow everyone to express his/herself jare. Dear men, speak up if you're hurt inside, don't die in silence because of one yeye society phrase.
Anyways, what do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news. Oga did you meet your wife, girlfriend, baby mama or fiancee as a virgin? If NO, then the below advise is for you


Oga if you no meet your wife as a virgin, oga go for DNA test oooooo because boreholes a.k.a non-virgins can't be trusted atall

What is there to talk about nau?
Only topic of discussion na say she dey go her papa house from there. Make she go explain to her people why she tear the passport. To reconcile that white goat, chicken and 3 crates of egg with 10 little of palm wine is a white Keg. After that one we can discuss the matter. It is that simple

He is capping trash. From the car price in the UK i believe we are both aware that's for a brand new of that car. How many people in Nigeria can afford a brand new car lol. Cars are very expensive compared to oversees due to policies imposed by our govt.

Now listen, it depends on what you want. I am in Nigeria now and stuck in school presently. I can't drive my car down to Asaba due to the rate of kidnapping, insecurities in this country. Everyone is easily scared this days. I want somewhere i can be able to ride even if its bike i have peacefully at night without looking over my shoulders. Is that too much to ask?

You can stay in Nigeria and chop your millions. It's all choice. My friend went to the US pre covid time. Today as i speak he has his green card. Married his Nigerian babe back in our uni days (first degree) .Own several plots of lands scattered in more than 5 states in Nigeria.

Swallow your advice and allow people do what works for them.

The issue is that many countries are tightening up their immigration rules otherwise. Be there playing

I doubt you understand what he meant. Your reply speaks of just talking without Understanding the topic issue.
I know several people in Nigeria that have bought houses in western countries without mortgage.
One particularly is now trying to buy a house for his 5th daughter in Canada. I will have you know he bought for the other 4 daughters in a space of a few years.

Foolish set of people(sorry if u r hurt by my statement)

u want to go to sweden ?best advice stay home and find something really good to do, there is money back home.u might ask the dumbest question like they ask saying "if that place is so bad why don't u come home then", but let me tell you the truth, the fact is how many of us here are really making it, 2 in million ? simply none.what do we live on ? loans,mortgage, car finance, and all sorts of available debts.i am a chemical Engr and i work in a very reputable company but i know what my colleagues back home have or live like working in companies not even as better as mine.if u know anyone that had stayed 20 years in the UK,US or wherever in the western world and has refuse to come home, its simply because he hasn't make it.

let me give u an example, a friend just bought an X5 in nigeria for 8 million cash, for someone to pay that for a single car means he still has lots of reserve.currently, that's about £33,333 pounds in the UK. where in the world am i going to get that cash from even working for the next 6 years i wont save that in the UK, Yes! how will i do that? no way, but my friend bought it and so many other examples, back to the dumbest question Nigerians ask , ppl cant come home becos there's simply not enuff to come back too, becos same ppl will say "since u ve being there what did u achieve?"

i heard soemone say "the western world will give u exp." f**k exp. exp my ass, to do what with the experience? build the next space ship? or the next sky refinery? its experience what u start looking for after you have paid 19000 pounds to study every year for 3 yrs?

Best advice--- come here to study and get the f**k out

Henry2405:
I will say my own issue as funny as it may sound, taught me a whole lesson, dated my wife for a year and half and we decided to get married, we were staying in delta state and decided to relocate to Lagos, my wife is pretty type, curvy and all. I’m tall and fit too. We moved to Lagos last year October and I observed some changes in her, she’s the type that when we stepped out, she’s gets attention, two months later, she said we should open our marriage, that maybe we rushed ourselves, that we should meet other people to see if we want to continue with the marriage.
She said she’s ok with me going on dates with other girls so I should let her too. I noticed this happened cause of the constant attention she gets, after few weeks, I agreed but I already zero’d my mind the marriage is over, I moved out Jan this year to a new apartment, just last month here.
She called me that we should close the marriage back, said her suggestion worked and she found out that we are meant to be married, I told her I’ve already moved on from the marriage and I just want a legal step to meet her people to end everything, she has been asking her people to beg me.
Calling my line endlessly and telling me I found someone else and I didn’t loved her in the first place.
Isn’t this stupidity and witchcraft at play
Copied

Hope you took you own cut before you opened the marriage.

I asked the lady if she is also seeing revelation about us, she said yes..... Since then she have been calling me daily.

And the worst part is that, MOG said she must move in with me... Habah! Even if it is God that said it, is that not a sin?

Lol, the lady is seeing revarion cos she has been brainwashed

AllMight:
I've been attending this church for 2yrs, i played the sax and band. A month ago, i was told to teach this lady how to play the sax by the pastor's wife. Now this lady stays at their house. At times when i'm chanced i go to the pastor house to teach her, but most time i teach her during/after the chorister rehersal.

Nothing was going on between the two of us. But, i was surprised when last sunday, the MOG said he saw i and the lady in a revelation getting married. I laughed it off because im just 24 and nt yet ready for marriage. But he insisted i pray over it, through the week when i go to their house to tutor the lady, the wife do make subtle remark that i pretend nt to hear.

Then this sunday, the MOG said the lady is my wife from God that i need to listen to God before smtin bad happen to me. I'm nt in anyway interested in her. When i tried reasoning with the MOG, he said im only trying to rebel against God's will. He even threatened to send me away from the church. Please how do i go about it?

Do nothing. Laugh it off. Smile ans say nothing. Never react to fools and idiots.
Do only what's in your mind and what your heart and head agrees to

Oga you are in trouble in Nigeria because your leaders lack spiritual insight.
If any of them had any sign of spiritual insight, there would be 24/7 electricity.
All developed countries were founded and run by peoples with DEEP spiritual cognitive abilities.
That is why they are able to deliver things like universal healthcare, decent minimum (read livable) wage, decent and clean environments,
functioning democracy, peace and security for everyone (instead of kill and go and terrorism ruling Nigeria).
These are all products of spiritual cognitive abilities.
Take your pick EVERY top country today was founded and run by people of faith of some kind.
Nobody who lacks spiritual insights can ever dream of delivering such public good.
Nigeria is ruled by spiritually illiterate (read Godless) people.
So, next time you lament Nigeria, remember to add that you contribute to the problem with YOUR GODLESS mindset.

Yet your men of god adeboya, Chris and Chris advise these said leaders which you worship. You need to stand in one place. You can worship God and Masquerade

onumadu:
Let me help to hammer home some of the OP's points, and I will use real life stories.

Back when I was young and still available and roaming, I had two distinct experiences with "strange women".
What saved me was that I've always been a spiritual person and always understood the point about strange women.
In fact there is nothing I fear more than women. No blame me, na so I see am.

Case #1: When I was about 21 yrs, I shared a bus ride with one lady while traveling from one part of Nigeria to another, and at the end of our trip we exchanged contacts and she promised to visit me. When I got home, that same night I had a dream, and in that dream I saw the type of shinning snake I had never seen before and it was making a weird hissing sound. Then I woke up.
My dreams are mostly direct messages from God. What did I do after? I gave instructions to my people that if any girl came to look for me, they should tell her that she had the wrong address..
That was the end of that one.

Case #2: I met one lady at a mall somewhere abroad. To cut a long story short, we connected and exchanged contact information.
Again, that same night I had a dream, and in that dream I saw an entity that looked like "ekwensu" - a tall black dinosaur-like creature whose height was as tall as a four story building. When the entity moved, buildings around the place shook.
Then I woke up.
Nobody told me to again delete the lady's contact and never picked up any of her calls, and that was that!

Nwanne, the world is a very very dangerous place where entities use women to do a LOT of damage to men who lack spiritual discernment.

Suffice it to say that once I got married, I closed shop.

Single men may not find it easy to avoid these troubles, but they should at least try, because the dangers are very real.
This is part of why I am a FIERCE DEFENDER OF MARRIAGES, whether monogamous or polygamous. Anything that can keep a man at home is very much welcome as far as I'm concerned.
That thing you want to do, do it inside your marriage. It is safer -by far!

I mean in this time and age we still have human beings with this mindset. We are in trouble in Nigeria
