GloriousGbola:There's something called pioneer privilege. The record is irrelevant long term for someone like Hilda. She's already made fame and notoriety and can parlay it into opportunities in ways these other upstarts will simply never be able to do. You can see even from the negative responses they're never going to get the traction Hilda will get (it also helps that she's more aesthetically pleasing than this individual) brands will partner with her before they deal with this person So people need to chillax and stop getting worked up over nothing. |

THE FATTEST AND MOST DANGEROUS LIE EVER TOLD IN NIGERIA By Dr. Aliyu U. Tilde. 11 June 2023 âSubsidy serves the richââmeaning that the poor do not enjoy subsidyâhas been the fattest lie I have ever heard in the past six decades of my life in Nigeria. It is told by a group of elites who will never suffer deprivation due to the privileges accorded them by decades of corruption. The most annoying thing is that they have told this lie time and again without blinking an eye whenever the Nigerian government, at the behest of our mastersâthe IMF, World Bank and international banking institutionsâwants to withdraw a service it offers the generality of its citizens. What will they lose by telling this lie? Nothing. They have homes in world capitals, billions in their accounts, families living overseas and spending holidays there. Their perception of reality and sense of danger is completely different from those of 99% of our citizens who are always living on the brink of poverty and insecurity. Incapable of good governance and afraid of what it will deprive them of their privileges, they advise every leader to take a short cut: remove the subsidy. Then they hurriedly coverup their treachery with another fat lie: because it is impossible to fight corruption. How can they allow any leader fight corruption since they are its direct beneficiaries? In the end, the subsidy will be removed and the leeches are all happy because they are allowed the opportunity to further suck the blood of our citizens through the criminal profits they will be making on essential commodities. The resultant voice of suffering does not move them one bit. Two examples here would suffice. Fertilizer and fuel. Fertilizer The last administration was the first to adamantly remove every subsidy on fertilizer in 2016 under the pretext that it benefits the middlemen. Many of us argued then that it was the responsibility of government to protect its citizens from the activities of such middlemen, be they civil servants or businessmen. Abdicating that responsibility and punishing the citizens instead by removing the subsidy completely negates the trust given the government by the electorate. The tragic side of it was that the people were clapping for the government, which they gave a blank cheque to do as it liked. 2016 became a year of hunger. Today, the high cost of fertilizer has crippled the productivity of most farmers and if it were not for the ban on importation of rice and some other items, nothing would have been left. The price of food is unbearable to most families and consumers are crying âopen the bordersâ, as I can see from a survey on my Facebook page. When I asked if the ban on importation of food can be lifted regardless of whether farmers and agriculture would be killed, the majority rhetorically asked, âHow many times have we died in the hands of the farmers?â Fuel I know the new government which I side with on other matters has taken a final decision on the matter of fuel subsidy. Unfortunately, the enchanting leadership style of the President has blinded the common man from seeing the evidently unbearable difficulties associated with the decision, as usual. But the evidence is here. Each of us can see it, touch it. Movementâthe conveyor of life and the economyâhas been impeded so severely that crucial activities like education have for the first time been threatened. States are reducing working days, including schooling days, to just three a week, in a country where e-learning is yet to pick up in majority of families that patronize public schools. Streets and highways are half empty. It is like another pandemic. If it is true that the poor do not benefit from subsidy, why would they be so constrained by the new price of petrol which is now one of the highest in the world despite our low per capita income? And very soon prices of food and other essential commodities will respond and life for even the civil servant that may be lucky to negotiate a 25% increase on his present miserable salary will become unbearable. Economists consistently promise that with time things will get better for the citizens if we just allow government to remove one subsidy or another. But nothing ever got better. Prices have never dropped in the long run. Diesel, we were told, had no subsidy at N260 per litre. What made it reach N880 for over a year and now sells N685? The Dollar? Then how are we sure that the Naira will not lose its value further in the near future when a common dollar exchange rate of say N635/dollar is fixed and what will the price of petrol be thenâN800/litre? I am tired of these lies that have been ramming my ears since 1986. To sum up the effects of these fat lies is the increasing number of the poor among us: 130million Nigerians now live below the poverty line if we are to believe our last President. How can this group of elites continue to be so apathetic? Solution I do not believe that there is anyone stronger than government. I still believe that every government has the primary responsibility of protecting its citizens from leeches and subsidizing life for them. We form governments and submit to them precisely for this reason. Continuous abdication of this responsibility is not an argument I can buy. I, therefore, suggest that our new President tightens his belt and ride rough with those who have been stealing our commonwealth in various sectors. This is what we hoped and missed in every President since 1999. Our indefatigable Femi Falana has recently published a list of 22 cogent areas where billions of Dollars are bunkered into the pockets of thieves. Go after them Mr. President. It is not that difficult today as it was in 1984 when we had no institutions on ground to do the job and no computers or Internet applications to track records and retrieve them from databases with the speed of light. Those billions of Dollars to be recovered and saved from the exercise are enough to permit a downward review of the current fuel price and fund infrastructural development as well. I am 100% with Femi Falana on this. Fighting corruption is an inescapable duty of any responsible government. Corruption is the clog in the wheel of good governance, not subsidyâthe purpose of governance. The new government must reject the fattest and the most dangerous lie often told in this country. Fighting corruption is possible. Fuel subsidy in a regime of a responsible government is also possible. ââââ 2 Likes |

Nigerians are highly alarmed by what they're seeing from this family in its early days. HIGHLY ALARMED!!! What we have in Lagos today is essentially a civilian dictatorship where one man has the final say over every single political appointment in that state.

Amoto94: Amoto, be very honest to yourself. Reading this article you posted, especially with this excerpt, does tinubu look to you like someone who is ready to fight corruption or "go after them" like the writer surmised? You do realise that the drug baron didn't even bother to campaign on anticorruption seeing as him and his family are a cesspool of melagomanic corruption in this country. Do you, with all your heart believe that Bola tinubu will fight corruption? Come on! Don't dream that far. 7 Likes |

airmark:First off....Every Nigerian are happy and wants Emefiele punished. But in the article, you can see that LP were clearly criticizing them for doing that which they condemned during GEJ administration. How can you condemn something and then turn around to do the same thing? You are a two faced individual. We all understands that subsidy needed to be removed...but the fact that the same Tinubu that orchestrated a protest against GEJ for the removal announced it on his inauguration day, made him a two faced devil, who only had an ulterior motive all along. They are abusing the same power they criticized GEJ for. 6 Likes 2 Shares

airmark: Airmark, reading this article you posted, one can see that the problem the LP is highlighting here isn't that they are against emefiele being removed, but the PROCESS via which he's been removed and then pointing out the hypocritical side of these actors especially the speaker gbajamiamila who is currently defying the constitution by holding 2 concurrent offices. LP is essentially pointing out their hypocritical stances and then their abdication of the rule of law. The CBN is supposed to be an independent body, one which the president can't just wake up and sack as he wishes to. Please be objective in your criticism. Read this excerpt very well and understand the point being made. I see nothing wrong here. Ifoh recalled that Tinubuâs ally and now Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, had in 2014 as the then Minority Leader, had condemned a similar action by President Goodluck Jonathan against then CBN Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, wherein he questioned the powers of the President in sacking the CBN Governor. 6 Likes |

Donjazet2: Abeg stop all these profiling and subtle tribalism na. What do u mean by Edo Muslims donât do like Muslims at all ? How are Muslims supposed to behave that Edo Muslims arenât ? How many Muslims do u even know in real life sef ? Yoruba Muslims are not the problem of Nigeria if thatâs what u are trying to allude . I know tens of âYoruba Christiansâ who voted for Tinubu this past election, and I also have âYoruba Muslimâ friends who voted Labour Party . People vote for their candidates based on different reasons and not necessarily because they are âYoruba Muslims â. The irony of ur hasty and incorrect generalization is that if Yoruba Muslims are as radical as u are trying to claim, they wouldnât have voted Tinubu who canât recite Suratul Fathia correctly . 13 Likes 1 Share |

Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Donjazet2: 7:52am On Jun 12, 2023 |
BlueRayDick: Mind you, what I'm pointing out is political profiling, not tribalism, please. And political profiling is indeed a thing. In every democracy, certain demographys have similar patterns to voting due to various reasons. For instance, in America, 90 Percent of black people in America vote democratic just like 90 percent of white envagelicals vote Republican. So statistically speaking, just by seeing any black skinned person in America, you are seeing a democratic or potential democratic voter. Same as when you see a white Pentecostal person, you are looking at one more likely to vote Republican. It's political profiling and it's not a bad thing actually. It's just highlighting a voting pattern. 1 Like |
