What is oga JD saying?

I seriously get worried when some of our elders speak and says things that are outrightly false.

What wasn't bad under the military? Cost of living, economy? Security? I mean some of us are not kids or teenagers that you can twist history and deceive. Can he have freedom to speak under the military the way he speaks now? The way he constantly throw shades against the president and even before he became president?

Things are tough, that is very much true and constructive criticism of government is needed to keep the government on its toes. But what he is saying is wrong, fallacious and condemnable.

Comments like these are what sets some of out youths on edge, especially those who didn't experience the military. Is he alluding that going back to the military is better?

If not for emotional sentiments and the fact that our system of governance and accountability is just lacking, for such comments, he should be politely invited to explain himself.

But alas, he is an elite and the people he is talking about are people of his elitist class. So wetin be my own.
Are you sure you are okay?
Cos, your statement betrays normalcy...
Did you listen to him well or you just wanted to talk?
Tinubu has caused more pains on Nigeria than ever..
There was no time that dollar against naira kept flying uncontrollably in the history of this country.
There was no time food becomes luxurious item in Nigeria than now.
There was no time more Nigerians lost strength and hope for Nigeria than now..
And painfully, the old man in the rock doesn't even know way out, no end to this mess in view..

I am a Yoruba man but Tinubu should have just allowed Osinbajo who may be quiet but astute to lead Nigeria

🀣 If I speak about this government as an Igbo man, they will come me the child of hate.

When Buhari was the president, the North saw him as a saint and didn't participate in the Endsars protest as they perceived it to be a Southern agenda to overthrow the president.

The Yorubas who protested with the Igbos, later turned on the Igbos and accused them of trying to destroy their Lagos under the guise of protest.

Fast-forward to 2024, the North are now ready to protest against Tinubu. The Yorubas are seeing it as a threat to their brother, but somehow are changing the narrative and accusing the Igbos of masterminding the planned protest. President spokesperson accusing Peter Obi, and some even said it was agenda to release Nnamdi Kanu. The Igbos are still the problem 🀣

Even when we have made it clear we don't care about the government, they still want to drag us into the conversation

You said it well. Meanwhile, you need to differentiate the real Yoruba people from the paid APC agents hiding under Yoruba names to attack Igbos and blame Igbos for all the wrong things happening in Nigeria. Believe me, the real Yoruba people on the street know that this government has performed abysmally.
Forget about these paid urchins making noise on social media. The day their stipends stop coming, they will change the music

Now hear this, gone r the days Nigeria who made it comes back to Nigeria n invest. I belong to a small private secondary Sch Alumni n those in diaspora r now suggesting to help the ones in Nigeria to Japa. What they r doing is to save up money n help any member of the Alumni who wants to leave Nigerian for greener pasture, they support them financially. They have so far help 2people n we r 38 in Numbers. Its so bad for the future of this country n our leaders r not ready to bring back this country. Cox as far as I'm concern, Nigeria is gone

This man is an idiot. I don't listen to him again. Such an inconsistent and fake man, lacking indepth analysis. Thank God I was old enough during the military era. It was during this era Dele Giwa was killed, many were arrested without trial. This useless man comes on air to praise same military. The military truncated first republic and with events following leading us to an avoidable civil war.

Hmm...

Over a year ago when the stup1d pronouncement was made about totally removing subsidy, some of us called it premature and not well thought out.

But some other state empowered persons insulted us, turned it into a tribal thing, and if they noticed we were from same region, called us bastards, sore losers and other unpalatable appellations.

Today, are we better or worse off?

Most of the state empowered touts spreading hate are either abroad or are planning to move abroad. Why leave a country you say is fine and progressing? A country you so much believe in its leadership and policies?

The fact is, the end use of subsidy on pms was never the problem... the problem was the corruption inherent in the process. That was what BAT should have unravelled.

Instead, he took the coward's route. Instead of fighting the oil cabals, he chose to let the citizens suffer. And like I said then, if you think you can run from the cabals by dodging the problem, those same cabals would attack whatever new measures you put in place, as long as they themselves are in place.

The only way out is a headlong confrontation. Call them out, expose thier atrocities, let Nigerians know who is who.

Nigeria has gone past it's elastic limit.

We're gradually heading towards the breaking point.

Even if the protest doesn't hold, what would happen in September, October, November and December if tangible solutions aren't deployed to reduce the sufferings of the people?

Would the government keep inviting Traditional/Religious leaders to Aso Rock every month, to persuade them to engage their people or order heads of security outfits to threathen protesters?

How long would they be able to sustain this their antics?

In all this, the president has refused to address the nation...

You think the Soilders and policemen too are not facing the heat? What if they decide to express their grievances and take laws into their hands?

This isuie the government is handling with kids glove would escalate into a bigger crises.

The protests might not proceed as planned, but the anarchy that might follow afterwards might be something that the government would not be able to control.

Nigerians are cowards. In September October November December they will be kidnapping themselves and using themselves for rituals. They will never revolt. The election rigger who thinks Nigeria is his property.

It's like democracy is a curse to us here
Oga. I'm tired of the issue.
Other western nations that have democracy, typically speak one language.
OR they fought for their impendence and have one unified goal.
Nigeria didn't fight for independence. British just gave us.
So we still don't have any unifying goal as a people.
We don't speak one language. We have all kinds of cultural differences
causing disunity left and right.
This is why we keep electing stupid/crooked leaders that don't give a f**k about the people.
Those ones just export crude oil and chop the money anyhow they like.
Now that Dangote built his refinery and is about to BREAK this crude oil racket,
they're so angry with his/our progress, they don't want to give him the crude oil. OUR OWN crude oil again!!

With military government a website like Nairaland and all those stupid apps you use on your mobile can be banned in one day and there won’t be anything you can do about it. Your protests will be met with gunfire. Go think about that before wishing evil upon your head.

There's no miracle that can save Nigeria with our (both the leaders and the led) mindset. Economically we've been going down drastically since the civilian government of Shagari and the successive military regimes that came after him couldn't reverse the trend. Even with the advent of this Republic starting with Obasanjo's second coming the economy is still on the downward slope. The fundamental problems are there but our leaders are not ready to face it squarely. We are a country with very low productivity,many able bodied men and women are jobless but they have to feed and this makes them to resort to crime. Politicians in position of authority are less concerned about the situation because the resources from oil is okay for them to live ostentatious lifestyle which is at variance with sufferings of the people they are supposed to help find ways out of their predicament by formulating policies to stimulate job creation, conducive business environment, investment in agriculture and food security. Most of us erroneously believe it is the business of government to put food on our tables and this is the reason why we fail to think outside the box to engage in productive activities for sustenance. Even if we have change of regime today, it will still be the same story of "we've never had it so bad". No regime has been better than it's predecessor in terms of the economy. From N3.50k per litre of petrol in 1999 to to today's staggering price of between 600 to 800 naira as successive regimes raised pump price in view of economic realities of the time. The worst days are not here yet

maybe you did not understand the english he spoke. he said "it was not this bad under military".

what is the falsehood there?

what exactly has tinubu done well before entering office and after that shades should not be thrown at him?

which constructive criticism are you talking about? was it the type tinubu gave to jonathan when he asked jonathan to resign and when he called for a revolution?

how does our system of governance lack accountability?

if you by yourself admitted that accountability is lacking in our system of governance, what then are you trying to defend?

its good jimi disu is a yoruba man. if he was igbo or non yoruba, am sure you would have said his criticism was borne out of tribal hate towards tinubu

Let's remember that during Adam and Eve, there was only sand and bush everywhere.
Today we have all kinds of gadgets. It has taken mankind (they say) 10,000 years to get to our
current civilisation. Discoveries were made in different places and collaboration between individuals
brought about subsequent industries that has led us to today.
For some reason, the DEVELOPED western nations, do not partner/collaborate profitably with African nations.
They either bribe our governments, pollute our environments, or dump waste materials here, but extract
raw materials, (crude, diamonds, cocoa...etc) making sure that we continue to REMAIN underdeveloped and
fighting with each other.
The solution will be for us Nigerians/Africans to collaborate with ourselves, build our industries and refine our
own raw materials | cut off western influence & propaganda.
We JUST HAVE TO cooperate with each other and STOP fighting.
Democracy don't seem to be working. Maybe we do that kind of WAKANDA thing where they had
multiple tribal chiefs elected by "FIGTHING" each other.
Our current governors do not represent our interests.
Maybe our village/tribal chiefs will represent our interests instead.

Bro stop lying. If you put this democratic setting and military rule side by side, the military will come out as a winner twice.

Tell me, is it terrorism which they will kill immediately (there were terror act during their time but was laid to rest immediately), religion crisis is 50/50 depending who is in control during Abacha time it was at the nearest minimum, economy was fair even with sanctions by the west during Abacha time compared to this nonsense being pushed by APC and their gang, ethnic homogeneity give it to the military they came close to have a level playing field (Like the federal character act/laws or whatever) except that the Igbos where denied to some level due to past experience than to what we have today (NYSC was their creation to bring everyone back to common ground), Infrastructure though low but between them and this current democratic setting they way all above and so many. The amount of bigotry online these days it so damming between two tribes that have long live together.

It is only a clown that will choose freedom of speech in place of hardship...you don't even have anything sensible to make comparison with it is freedom of speech your brain can remember.

All major infrastructure across the Federation were built by the military e.g International Airports, All our Ports, Third Mainland bridge etc

All our refineries worked under the military.

Military didn't prevent Nigerians from protesting.

Nnamdi KANU still in detention in a DEMOCRATIC government.

Former first lady Aisha Buhari locked up someone for insulting her online.

Looting under DEMOCRATIC government is mind boggling.

Democracy in Africa is a curse, our ancestors strived during monarchy rule because a black man shouldn't be granted freedom to behave because they lack the maturity to do so.

The best days Nigeria ever had were during the military era which I am a witness of.
