Professor Usman Yusuf, former Executive Secretary, National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, on Saturday, said he is surprised the South Eastern part of the country has remained quiet amid the worsening economic hardship facing the country.

This is even as he urged the President to buy food, flood the market and feed the people before things get too late.

Yusuf made this known on Saturday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

DAILY POST reports that there have been agitations against the increasing hunger in some parts of the country, most of them from the south west and northern part of the country.

However, Yusuf found it surprising that the South East has remained calm.

He said: “I honestly don’t know why the South East is quiet, uncharacteristically quiet. But the President needs to find out. The North is where I know I live; even my heritage is. The silence in the North is more lethal than anywhere else in the country. And the President needs to listen to that.

“The silence in the North, from the people of the North in spite of the suffering people are going through, is more lethal than people coming out.

“We are going into the month of Ramadan, people are going to pray. We ask the President to buy food, flood the market and feed the people before things get too late.

“The whole country is suffering. There’s hunger in the land. We hope you listen. Don’t listen to your advisers. Bring a whole lot of money for food, don’t wait for the governors.”

Thiefnibuu sold you guys the Muslim Muslim ticket and you guys fell for it.

So pls allow other regions to enjoy the show in peace.

If the North have a problem with the Thief, they should drag his lazy leaky azz out of office, just like they dragged him in.

Ok

Noted

The thing is that just like we saw the Buhari disaster from one thousand miles away in 2015 and refused to vote for him…

So also did we see the Tinubu catastrophe from a million miles away and shouted on top of our voices that he should be rejected. We equally refused to vote for him.

But fuuls said he tamed Atlantic and rigged him in.

Now, it’s the ijiots who fuulishly believed that Tinubu had anything to offer that are disappointed and protesting.

The Igbos already foresaw and foretold the disaster and prepared for whatever comes with it. So, we are not disappointed.

We are just quietly learning the lessons you want to teach us.

While you fuuls can continue to enjoy the El deraldo you hoped for from a mannequin who licks a microphone.

Ndi ala!

Maybe the Prof has been deaf.

The SE has shouted themselves hoarse during the run up to the elections, no need to talk again.

Breakfast time, all man must keep quiet and eat.

We go use our hand flog any noise maker down east

What do you people want from the South Easterners?
If they talk now, you will look for a way to attach tribalism to it.

Tinubu: I Honestly Don't Know Why The Southeast Is Quiet; Uncharacteristically Quiet - According to Professor Usman
Traditional leaders from the country’s north have been discussing the continued hardships, which include food insecurity and other issues, in recent weeks.

In the midst of all of that, Professor Usman was asked why the North and South West have been the regions that have spoken out the most during his discussion of the state of the economy on Arise News.

Surprisingly, the South East and South-South have been quiet, and if there could be a reason for that, and if the agitation for better governance continues through the North and South West, will there be a political implication for the president?

Responding to that question, the former executive secretary, NHIS, Professor Usman Yusuf said, “I honestly don’t know why the Southeast is quite, uncharacteristically quiet, but then, the president needs to find out. The North is where I know I live, and the silence in the North is more literal than the noise anywhere else in the country”.

Those are the real sophisticated regions, when they say you are a failure just don't argue with them. They saw the handwriting on the wall and started preparing for the dooms day.

We long lost faith in Nigeria and the rigging of the last general election once again proves the hopelessness of the Nigerian project so why bother ourselves with a hopeless situation,here in the east people are preparing for eventual economic collapse because there's no sign that the economic and security situation in the country would get better soon.

You too funny. But it's truth. No much noise coming from there.

Our SE brothers and neigbours are still learning the sophisticated political lessons from the learned sk" u"lla"rs"

When they finish learning the building bridge politics, your opinion will change Mr Professor. Until then exercise patience under Tinubulation

Oga Ruga let them be abeg

Allah Akbar

Because what is happening now is what yorubas and their northern brothers wished to be happening to only Igbos.

That's the lesson they threatened to teach Easterners.






We are already mentally prepared for it because we know what enemies wish us.



We saw how they were rejoicing when Nigeria soldiers were killing hundreds of innocent youths in east for just protesting peacefully.

They are silent because they remember Peter Obi was the loudest critic of fuel subsidy who promised to remove it on the first day of his presidency, if elected.

So we would be in this situation even if he was president, and they know it.

That’s why they are silent.

I have said it time without number that the South East will be the least affected region in Tinubu's hunger inflicted administration.

The IGBO MAN has an instinct for survival. It is enshrined in their DNA.

South East didn't vote Buhari, he turned out to be a disaster.

South East didn't vote for Tinubu, he is disaster promax.

North and SW thought Tinubuu will be transporting money in bullion vans to SW and North once he is there, lol. This is the harsh reality of power, once you get there, you will realize how difficult and busy things are. You won't even have time to see your wife in the other room, even your children, let alone others. Even food will not hungry you again, you start losing weight from stress. Phone will be ringing every minute, terrorist attacks in Bornu, bandits kidnap 20 in Kogi, explosion here and there, herdsmen kill 60 in Benue, kidnappers in Abuja, workers protest salary, labor threatening strike, hunger crises, oil sale drop by 5000 barrel, world Bank denies $2 billion loan request, haba. Tinubuu will just switch off his phone and smoke 2 packs to cool himself before they kill him with stress.

if Peter Obi removed fuel subsidy,we would have seen the money been saved instead of borrowing and printing more money, He would have drastically reduced the cost of governance instead of moving from Dubai to France with a bloated entourage costing billions of naira,he wouldn't have over a hundred car convoy, he would have auctioned off the presidential jets or hand them over the military, he wouldn't buy a presidential yacht, he would have tackled the Fulani militia and returned displaced farmers back to their farms as he repeatedly promised during the campaigns,he would have invested heavily on productive ventures like Agriculture and industrialization,etc

Ckonnet:
We go use our hand flog any noise maker down east

Walahi talahi you no well as you make me laugh reach ontop dis ya post.

Well done.

The person will go home with one bullet in his or her bum bum.





If you want to shout Ebi pa wa oooo,go west or north


If you're in East, put more effort in your hustle.

Because those who thought only lgbos would suffer have found out that we all visit the same market

Oga which town hall send you

Roasted electricity with down payment, OR

Gaz"elle garan"gaja town hall.

This language you are communicating with is not known in the sane World of humans .

Just in case the language is also hunger induced, there is still emikolliatives at your LGA

Ndi Hausa, Ndi Yoruba and the rest of the country, they all voted based on who they felt would do a better job, stop with the Vanity and God complex, no one was thinking about Ndigbo suffering when choosing who to vote.

As proven by APC still winning bye elections deep into President Tinubu's tenure, it is about who people feel will benefit them.

What do you want us to say? You brought a disaster called Tinubu on us and you expect us to speak?
Igbos won't fight Tinubu, if dollar rate increase, an Igbo man will increase the price of his goods and you must buy

The man lied by saying he doesn't know why the SE is quite
We complained and they CALLED us wailers.
Then we told them that he that wails last wails loudest.
It happened with buhari, and having learnt nothing from that, they did same again here, and will gladly repeat the same thing again, so why will any sane person want to waste the little energy left

Dollar is rising and petrol price remain the same. Common sense should have told you that there is still subsidy but common sense is scarce in APC coven. They are hoarding common sense so their APC supporters will keep spreading propaganda.

We don't like problems

So tinubu blindly removed subsidy without asking Obi how he wanted to do his own

Someone who built Lagos learning from Anambra trader.

Southeast are more into Biafra and Ipob fetish. They are not true Nigerians. They only want Nigerian presidency so that they can break up the country.

May south easterners continue to be quiet

If they talk now they will turn the table around and say the igbos want to hijack Nigeria

Any Igbo that join any protest is a big FOOL

They never see anything. Only less than 1 year of tinubulation & trial, they are already crying and protesting everywhere.

Exactly
Won’t you want to do away with those Biafra and Ipob fetish people?
