Where is Wole Soyinka the Gbaju e crooner?

If he could describe Goodluck Jonathan as worse than Nebuchadnezzar... what will he describe Tinubu as?

Nigerians are now seeing a devil incarnate in the person of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tinubu is worse than Idi Amin Dada of Uganda.

Are you seeing me as another person? Pls I'm new here and this is the only moniker I have on nairaland. If you don't need help you say so and stop insulting me.

MadPolitician:
Maybe the attitude of these people in power reflects some sort of throwbacks to the indigenous cultures from where they come from. It is becoming obvious that those who have been ruled for ages by autocratic and brutal emirs and obas, seem to see governance as a place where an emperor dictates and the people follows, without necessarily worrying about the different layers of pangs of poverty tinibulating the masses. They can't do without being brutal too, since thats all they know about.

That is the only conceivable reason left to explain what is going on. Most prehistoric Obas and Emirs in some areas that formed present day Nigeria, were brutal despots who were projected as not just rulers, but as diviners too. Semi gods. They were the executive, the judiciary and the legislature in one body. The made laws and their brood of serfs bowed to say yes. Some even rolled in the mud to greet them. They had little regards for the poor tucked away in forgotte remote villages.

That is where this problem started. Because it is now obvious that the products of these societies lack empathy when they eventually find themselves government. They see themselves as some sort of "national Obas and Sultans", and because they are used to people from their ethnic groups finding it it hard to criticise them as was the case during the precolonial era, these leaders also expect the rest of us, including those that never had "almighty" obas and emirs, to also swallow their bullshit, line, hook and sinker.

Believe me, it's cultural..

You already made the senseless years of trolling as if you don't have any meaningful life going on outside NL cos wondering why normal and sane human being would be creating daily monikers just to troll those who don't share same political ideology with him.

Anyways, it's your life, waste it away as how you like

Your comment does not show that you understood the history of our traditions with government arms like judiciary, legislature and executive. You don't even seem to know what women protesting naked meant for a ruler or who was part of his council. You simply assumed they had autocratic powers.

Unfair taxation and levies is what led to the Aba Women Riot and Abeokuta Women Riot.

In 1928–1930, Aba women protested against the oppressive rule of the colonial government. These Igbo women of eastern Nigeria feared that the headcount being carried out by the British would mean they were to be taxed.

LibertyRep:


I already said the government should embrace massive cut in the cost of governance. How do you run this expensive, wasteful and flamboyant government and then expect the masses to bear the brunt without revolt.

It's not even a Gen Z thing., it's common sense. Kenya isn't a template for Nigeria.

The government needs to demonstrate prudence to be able to secure the buy-in of the masses. I'm afraid, that confidence is missing in this admiration.

If you have the ears of those in the authority, tell them there's always an elastic limit and a tipping point.

You can't force subsidy removal and currency devaluation simultaneously on the masses and then thought of increasing taxes again while everyone groan in wants.

Again, go out and feel the purse of the people

The way Atiku is playing his role as opposition leader is becoming nauseating. How can VAT be increased without FEC's approval and legislation? Taiwo Oyedele had debunked this inaccurate information now.PBAT media men need to do more in countering Atiku's misinformation .
He encouraged FG to do everything possible to ensure nothing delays the take- off of Dangote refinery but he was quick to query speedy approval of Agip by Oando. What a double standard.

Blazetrailer:
U must be dumb not to see that the Govt. needs more revenue to fund its deficit budget. It can only be done through increase in taxes when they run out of loan options. Whether Oyedele denies it or not, it will be increased soon, the signs are there, the National assembly will approve in 1 day so dont think that is a sieve for debsting national issues.

kunle4toyeyaho:
You must be very stup!d by making pronouncement on mere speculation. So,you are unaware certain steps Preceed such an action? Amendment to PIT Act in 2011 and finance Act 2019 all followed a process with Finance minister as the formal presenter to the FEC. Can you tell me the so- called signs you have observed? I advise you to seek knowledge and stop disgracing yourself in public space with your clownish submission
