Some Nigerians on social media have bashed Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), after he was seen in a video promising to pay the West African Examination Council (WAEC) fees of Nigerian students.

Tinubu, who last week revealed his ambition to run for president in the 2023 election, said his party will crush poverty and make lives easier for Nigerians.

However, his promise has sparked outrage among Nigerians who aired their opinion Wednesday on Facebook.

“In this century a Presidential aspirant talking of paying WAEC fees. Affliction will not rise again in Nigeria,” Olamobisi Robert Akinlolu said.

“That’s not the issue now. Insecurities, inflation and nepotism are more important than WAEC fees sir.

“Some parents don’t even have children in secondary school. No water in most places. May the Lord please help Nigeria to get the right leaders,” Dele Erastus Akinmeyi said.

“Scam. Dem don come again with empty promises. Fulfil d ones una promise us since 2015 first. No conscience in this Nigeria again,” Henry Chidozie Celestine said.

“This man doesn’t know that APC has exhausted Lying bundles fa! There is nothing he is going to say that would be taken seriously.

“Imagine the man that gave us a man that put us in this kind of situation wants to come and finish us,” Onah Chekzy said.

“Don’t be deceived, this is how APC in 2015 promised, you can see what is happening today, killing of human beings, fuel increase, high cost of all food items, high cost of electricity bills, no good road, don’t allow APC to come back, the nation’s debt is on the increase daily.

“What will APC offer ?” Zeal Ndubuisi queried.

“Another dead body as our next president, it can’t happen,” Danladi Musa said.

Tinubu, speaking about his ambition, had described it as a lifelong aspiration, dismissing the belief that a kingmaker cannot be king.

That WAEC payment is the funniest and the most archaic campaign strategy I have ever seen

LegendHero:
These ones are confused.

What is bad in the FG paying WAEC fees? At least some governors are currently doing that for their states so I don’t get where all this grievances from so called Nigerians are coming from.

He has done it before for Lagos. Tinubu was one of the first governors to pay state student WAEC fees and he even extended it to non-indigenes in Lagos during his term as governor.

He also mentioned insecurity that needs to be tackled in that video so I don’t know why these so called bitter Nigerians are fuming over what he said.

Jack005:
You have never criticised Tinubu.. Does it mean that he doesn't make mistakes? Does it mean that he is perfect? If it was Jonathan, atiku or Peter obi that made this statement, you and your likes would have insulted him.. Your hypocrisy stinks.

It is this same Nigerians that were complaining that Jamb fees should be scrapped, now someone wants to pay WAEC fees for student and they are wailing again. It seems everyone is confused in this country.

Tinubu urchins everywhere. You guys never see anything. Bunch of hungry youths asslicking ancestors because of crumbs

LegendHero:


Why will I criticize anyone for this? Does it even make logical sense to criticize someone for trying to lend a helping hand to students writing WAEC with regards to fees?

We have some state governor owing WAEC/NECO fees that sometimes affect the release of student results so what is bad in FG trying to lend a helping hand if it’s possible?

I will not critique Atiku or Jonathan for something like this.

What I expect Nigerians to ask is that where will be see the money to do that judging from our current finances where we have less to spend. That is still a valid criticism.


I am not stupid like those other Nigerians that criticize every damn thing Tinubu says.

It's not archaic in such a poor country as Nigeria. Many brilliant children could not advance their education because of financial constraints. I have met people whose trajectories took a downward turn because of this. That you could afford it does not mean other can. It'll help many lives.

NGpatriot:


The odious and sad mentality of criticizing everything, no matter how noble or helpful it is very pervasive in our society, they place hatred, bitterness and criticizing government over their own self-interest and the future of their own children.

The greatest danger to Nigeria are Nigeria's ignorant, tribe obsessed, backward, uneducated and low mentality Nigerian youths.

Personally, I think many of them are damaged goods.

As in it defy sane logic that this will even be an issue of criticism of some sort.

If Tinubu had said he will make sure government will not pay for student WAEC fees, these same set of bitter Nigerians will be offended again and go on another round of tirade against the man.

Adabite:


Pele oooo. I challenge your sense of reasoning and whoever is still supporting these old fools.

NGpatriot:



This great leader is not interested in your hatred and bitterness, he's busy employing and giving thousands of youths to grow and prosper in life.

Asiwaju employed and is putting food on the table for hundreds of Nigerian youths at TVC in Lagos and hundreds of more youths at his Radio station in Abuja, all in all with his businesses, at least a thousand youths are putting food on the table courtesy of Asiwaju.

The best presenter in Nigeria is Igbo, courtesy of Asiwaju who gave him the platform and opportunity to shine and prosper, opportunities that your own useless and incompetent leaders can not provide..


The joke is on you.

God Bless Asiwaju Tinubu.
