Which landmark? Early voting that doesn't translate in the declared results? We don't need early voting we need electronic transfer of votes from the pooling unit in real time to curb rigging that's all but they won't because it will help chase them away from power and make Nigerians decide instead of these thieves in government. You sound as if you are unaware because you are a psychophant

I gree with you totally, those who are praising early voting are either politicians themselves or those who are ignorant of electoral frauds being perpetrated by our political criminals.

We all can see, that Nigeria wicked rulers will claim that we are giant of Africa. What I don't understand is that in which aspect of life are we the giant of Africa? In economy, infrastructure, security, education and many others we are among the least. But when it comes to extravagant and corruption, our leaders are giant, but masses are poor. It is only our political rulers that are giant and play father Christmas to other African countries at the expense of suffering masses.

Get urself educated
Neither Tinubu nor Buhari moved from one party to another, rather, both collapsed the old to form a new.

Thats different from leaving a party to another.

You people have short memory, so AD that produced Tinubu as Governor in 1999 was also collapsed to ACN and did Buhari not left a Party before forming C? You need to use correct fact to argue your points.

Reno Omokri can only deceive his hordes of zombies

Tinubu moved from SDP to AD, then to AC, followed by ACN, and finally to APC.

Buhari on the other hand moved from ANPP to C, and then to APC.

Thank you for reminding him, may be he has short memory or may be he is even demential, that is why he has forgotten the above.

Brilliant.

All those clamouring for a different President in 2027, you ask them why, and they tell you:

1. The prices of garri, beans, pepper etc are too high, as if

2. Price of Petrol is too high, even though it is still the cheapest in West Africa and one of the cheapest in Africa.

3. He should return naira to where he met it grin The lack of knowledge is on another level.

We have the most transformative President Nigeria has ever had, but they want a new President for reasons that just makes no sense.

Even Mr Rufai's reason is 'lack of internal democracy in APC'. grin Just unbelievable.

Every where you look, there are big road projects going on. We are now free of the evil subsidy that every previous President was too afraid to get rid off. Naira is finding its own feet. Food prices are coming down. Every university student that wants to, can now have his tuition fee paid by government (student loan) and also receive free N20,000 per month, our economic growth is on an upward trend, we now have a trade surplus, our debt service to revenue ratio has fallen from 95% under Mr Buhari to 63% under this government, government revenue is at unprecedented levels, State governments are receiving 3 times more revenue than under Mr Buhari, and many more achievements like that.

The EU said the government is doing well. The World Bank too. Just last week, Chartham House said it has been impressed by the government's reforms. They think Nigeria is now setting itself up for future economic leadership in Africa if we maintain the pace of the reforms.

But guess what...some Nigerians want a new President in 2027 to change everything again, start his own agenda and set us back another decade or two, all because of...temporary increase in price of yam and garri or, oh, the man is appointing too many people from his tribe, or, oh they disagree with so-called ronus on twitter.

Ok na.


The beautiful nonsense you wrote is an act of indifference to Nigerians suffering. Saying that Mr President was bold to take decision on matter of subsidy and others that other past Presidents avoid is an act of insensitivity. Other president who failed to take the wicked decision he look at pros and cons of that decision. The decision that took every Nigerians to poverty level except our politicians is an human decision. Also many multinational corporation had closed up their firms and left the country. Note what upon the hardship, hunger and suffering our politicians are buying jets, SUVs cars, renovation of houses, building new houses even to the judges, while even basic necessities of life like food is unaffordable to even working class. They claimed they mitigate our suffering by paying minimum wage after endless agitation from labour, at the end, worker got less than the value they received even before the so called minimum wage because the wage was actually reduced from about 60 Dollars to about 40 Dollars.

Leaving the set of criminals parading themselves as NNPCL management is an act of disservice to this nation. Mele should have been in the same room with Emefele, because there is no offence committed by former CBN governor that NNPCL MD did not sur. The cabal that retained the man is hell bent to suffer Nigerians. In sane society no government officials can contemplate this kind of policy.

Why is it that EFCC will wait until people stole money before pursuing them, why not collaborate with CBN and commercial bank to prevent these officials from transfering huge amount into their private s, a situation in which someone will transfer Billions of Naira into private and CBN, Commercial banks and EFCC we not track such is unacceptable in an idea financially regulated nation.

Stabilization that makes multinational companies to close and relocate to other countries due to high cost of doing business cannot be said to be good economic policy. Also many SMEs had been folded up as a result high fuel price and electricity cost. High transport cost have even discouraged farmers from going to farm, what normally cost them 400 naira in term of transport, is now cost more than 2000 naira daily. How would a poor farmer afford this? May be it is their imposed policies, that is why they claimed it has stabilized our economy.

If what the Senator said is true, then why did we have it on paper that Senate President is just one/first among the equal. Or why am I be afraid of some one I regarded or our constitution regarded as being equal.

All these are happening due to poor recruitment process. If you want to recruit particular our security agencies integrity test should have been given priority, but a situation whereby enlistment into our forces was alleged to be for highest bidder this type of situation will definitely unavoidable. Only DSS is cautious when it comes to recruitment because they always deeply investigate who would be their staff.

It isn't about affidavit. If you go check the APC state will you see their names there?

Have they gone to renounce PDP?

Agreed it isn't about affidavit, but do you know as they were running away from one trouble they roping themselves in another problem because lying under oath is also criminal offence, that is why lying is bad, because if you make one lie you need to make multiple lies to cover that single lie.

Does it mean that Nigeria economy depend on only food prices? Or only food constitute the whole economy. Even when we talk of food price, how much were they being sold as at April 2023 before the hardship induced statement subsidy is gone, a plate of beans was less than 1000 naira, that of grains were around 500 per plate, but as at today beans is still close to 3000 and grains around 2000 naira even after the celebrated reduction, upon this analysis, is there anything to celebrate? Why can't the so called pastor boosts that petrol price and Dollar has also came down. Or can we say petrol that someone met at less than 200 naira is now 900 naira and Dollar at around 400 naira now more than 1600 naira is a sign of sound economic policies?

AustineE1:

Right from the days of Awolowo,tribalism has always been a Yoruba thing,it so engrained in their ego that non of them will want to do the right thing,except for the likes of Obasanjo whom I respect so much and have my utmost regards for him,he is so nationalistic that some historians tag him the father of modern Nigeria.
Tinubu is a typical yoruba supremacist and a local champion and wants yorubas to see him as a Yoruba demigod,of which a section of the unfortunate Yoruba populace see him as such while a large number of their corrupt elites sees him as a conduit pipe for quick money and hence they follow him.

Thank God many Yorubas did not vote for him, that's number one, secondly when nationalistic Yorubas like Baba Obasanjo you mentioned and Afenifere leader under Baba Adebanjo of blessed memory, did not the man, no be corrupt Northern governor went and collect Dollars from him and make win primary election, not only this, professor glitch that short down irev is not Adewale, he is one Yakubu. Another issue in this tribalism issue, why is it that whenever a southern is in power Northerners never comfortable, they always shout marginalisation, even during Obasanjo reign that you referred to as Nationalist, the Northerners planed to remove him using Ghali Na Abba former speaker of house of Rep of blessed memory accuse him of tribalism, the same thing with Jonathan, that Buhari even accused of killing Northerners when he was dealing with Boko Haram to reduce their voting strength and that he is tribalistic. When Tinubu ed forces with the North to remove Jonathan and install Buhari, he was not tribalistic, even when Tinubu people in the south were being killed he never talked or condemn Buhari, when nearly all appointment were given to Northerners then, non of you people talked, to the extend that the man went to UN and instructed that all developmental project must go to Northern Nigeria, when the noise was much they defended him by saying that what Nigeria constitution says is that the man is only bound to appoint at least a minister from each state, he now asked is there any state without a minister under hen Buhari government? Am not a fan of Mr. President, but what am saying is that let always call a spade a spade when any leader is doing what is bad let all rise up to condemn it. Because during Jonathan both the north and south rose up to demand good governance, but when it comes to that of Buhari, the North now said it is their government. The people I respect in the North that when they accuse Tinubu of tribalism and are justified for it are Senator Shuhu Sani, Mallam Buba Galadima and few other, because even during Bahari regime they spoke loudly about the tribalism going in that istration.

When he said subsidy was gone, you thought it would be immediate… if that was the case we would have been buying petrol at 1k+ since then but stayed at N600 who do you think was paying for the rest? Now it has been fully deregulated… this is not news please!!![/quote

Please where is that your village, so that I can go and buy petrol at 600 naira. Petrol was sold for as much as 1300 naira and even now it is being sold at close as 1000 naira now. The mass you are mocking with this your sycophancy words, will curse you and it will stick to you and your generations.

The rich ruler asked Jesus about eternal life!

Jesus forgot to mention believe in him as a criteria!

Too much inconsistencies!

Ask any Christian to tell you where Jesus told anyone to accept him as personal Lord and saviour they'll start stuttering!

Big scam!

Please, do not be ignorance, even before Christ was born, it was has been prophesized in Matthew 1: 21- and she shall bring forth a son and thou shall call his name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sin.
Jesus also declared in John 14:6 - Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Everything about this APC is just propaganda, lies, deceit and wayo.
No genuine person ing these folks have any plans to make heaven.

My brother you are going too far, which heaven are you talking about? How would someone who had sold his soul, spirit and body to the devil makes heaven, heaven is for holy and righteous people, not them that had made lying their ways of life. Even their suffering is not until they get to hell, even in this planet, their suffering has began, we all saw one of the, in yeye book the man lunched recently, he has some people were his senior even when he was junior officer walked into the hall, but he was carried on whell-chair into the hall, even his own children, I don't think they can enter any where in his country and people give them any honour. So their suffering will start here, but if they repent and return all our money stollen and confess all their lies as the man I was talking did in that hall, our God will have mercy on them.

I hope those that declared no vacancy in Aso Rock are the only one who is going to vote and won, but if all Nigerians are going to vote, I don't think we can vote for hunger, hardship and suffering again because Yoruba says "ina esisi kii Joni lemeji" means fire of mistake don't burn one twice. Or anyone this time who is planning to use Prof. glitch to win, the person is taking his or her joke too far, our vote must count in order to ensure good governance on our dear nation, not some people who we come and the first thing to do is buying new jets, SUVs cars, renovation of their residences with billions of naira, while asking Nigerians to endure pain but later they will enjoy. Such leaders are far away from the vision of our finding fathers like Obafemi Awolowo, Tafawa Balewa, Sadauns of Sokoto, Azikwe and others.

Am yet to realize what these government appointees take Nigerians to be, we have been leaving our lives normally without hardship or outcry, you came and destroy our economy and now advising us to change our mode of life by looking for more jobs, if people now looking for additional work to do, so as to argument their income, is their loyalty not going to be divided. Instead of changing the policies that kill people's business and income, you are asking them to add additional work. We are waiting for 2027 to decide your faith, and no professor glitch will be able to safe any politician this time around.

Mr. President the day of glooming is gone for all of you that sat in that hall, because all of you are political office holders. All the benefits of your reform only take money from common man and put it in your hands. Until the prise of fuel, Dollar, electricity that you met at about 60 naira and now jumped to about 300 naira per unit all returned to where you met it. For your information Mr. President, the so called minimum wage took workers from about 60 Dollars per month to 40 Dollars. You may even make your popular comment that are we spending Dollars? But why did you float the naira then? Why are we compare it's value in term of Dollars.

What nonsensical comment is this from a Fulani?

All Yoruba are omoluabi, imp!

I disagreed with you, not all Yorubas are omoluabi, the one going about with agberos to win elections by "dabaru it where opposition is srong"cannot be regarded as omoluabi, the one that divided Afenifere into two and sideline Baba Adebanjo of blessed memory because his selfish ambition was not , with those that brought out oro on the day of election to prevent people from exercising their constitutional rights are far from being an omoluabi, the man may not be good but in this wise he distinguished omoluabis in Yoruba nature from the agberos who are now even changed base from Lagos to Abuja.

IBB should tell Nigerians the offence committed by those coup plotters that make him to eliminate them, someone like Mamman Vatsa, Gideon Okar etc. and punishment is due to him also this confession.
benjaminlawson(m): 3:18pm On Feb 20
I think we should not allow this people to always play on our intelligent, they will deliberate do things in the name of ethnicity and later come and apologize when the damage has been done. Can you imagine IBB saying that Buhari compensated Abiola by given him postmortem award, which honour is this after the man died in detention. Why not fight for his release then, after all the man did not commit any offense, because he declared himself president on the premise that he won election as president in which the man who superintendent that election also confirmed now after many years, when the damage has done irredeemably.

Yes, the risk you took is also increased by bad government policy. Government announced subsidy removal and increased petroleum price, this had forced many car owners to either abandoned their vehicle or sell it outrightly, and result to trekking or the use of bicycle this has reduced fuel consumption by more the 60% because all small businesses like school owners, bakers etc can use vehicles in the conduct of their business also abandoned it. Apart from this, in an effort to reduce the public outcry as a result of hardship, the government also introduced CNG vehicles or conversion of petrol vehicles to CNG, which means the use of gas instead of petrol, the more CNG we the more the reduction in petrol consumption, this where the real risk will be manifested.

Honestly speaking have never seen people that are fools as Nigeria politicians, what is visible to a deaf in Nigeria, they will just deny it as if it untrue. They have all forgetting that a day is coming when they will for their act of wickedness and mis governance. When Emefele was there as CBN governor or Yahaye Bello as governor of a state, would they accept any wrong doing or ang corruption allegation against them. When Emefele, was brought before court, that was when we saw him going to court with a big Bible, and I doubt it if he has ever go to office with his Bible when he was in office. Let it be known to these rulers of this country that they can deny and deceived Nigerians, but they cannot deceive God.

Abeg which kind custom is that for a brother to sleep with his brother's widow to produce offspring for him even if he doesn't want to?

Na by force?

And it's not only Onan! The father later slept with the same woman pretending as an harlot and she got pregnant. He wanted to punish her untill he realised he was the culprit.

God punished the sinful first son with death!
God punished the second with death!
The father committed adultery and incest but was forgiven!

How is such fair?

You near got it right, but the main reason to me why God punished Onan was because he behaved wickedly, he knew in his heart that he is not interested in having children with the woman, but the same time he is interested in sexual pleasure with the woman, if only because he will be unclean, there are process to be followed to make him clean, that is why he father was not killed immediate after committing the sin.

Tell your father to come to my State of Lagos and towns in Lagos to ban Islam. No need to waste time with kids like you.
Go and ban Islam in your State and towns, I don't care. But you see this Lagos, my forefathers own it and I can guarantee you that dem no born your papa well to come here and ban Islam. Islam is part of us and no man born of a woman even dare say such trash in my town or anywhere in my State. We will run you back to wherever you came from.
If you like to ban it in your Beefraud jungle, I don't give a fvck about that. But don't bring that craziness here.

Don't you know you have already betray yourself that you are a Muslim, because no Lagosian we trash this out of his mouth, also by attaching pig to your name makes you an abominable species in Islam world.

Bann them if they constitute a nuisance in a residential area. You cannot turn a residential place into a commercial place without consequences. If you want a commercial place to operate your business, you can go to any place along the expressway that the govt decides for commercial purposes, not residential areas that people use for home only.

For those ignorant who said the mosques are also built in residential areas. How can you compare a mosque to a church?.Anybody know that churches are business centers in Nigeria while mosques are for worship only. Have you ever gone to mosques and see them useing musical instruments for service?

If you are not satisfied with the decision, you can sue them in court or relocate to iPob region where they allow nuisance in their states

Let respect individual faith and adherent of other religion, because I cannot understand why you should call a place of worship of other people a business center. Playing musical instruments doesn't make a place of worship a business center. People quick to tell people to go to their region issue like this comes up, but when it comes to fund allocation, they will not agree that they should go and enjoy money generated from their regions. If we continue like this, the pillar that bound us in this country may be destroyed, because Nigeria is funded on the pillar of secularity. The Yorubas who want to subject themselves to this rule should read this and be wise.

If we talk of poverty in this country, it is government agencies and departments that are responsible for our poverty level, whenever they want to increase their service charge it won't be between 10% to 20% but minimum of 200%. Be it fuel, electricity, school fees, bank charged, JAMB fees etc, all were increased without any justification or increase in services provided. The irony of it all is that the money do go to private purse.

Most of Nigeria politicians think that Nigerians is so daft as they are. They will just be praising themselves and claim improvement of economy and security during their tenure without any statistics to back it up, even when it is visible to blind and audible to the deaf that all the parameter needed to judge were negative against them, yet they will come and dash out rubies.

This is the president that scored himself excellent in presidential media chart, but went about him and his wife begging Nigerians to be patience, " iya kii se omi obe now" meaning suffering is not soup to be delighted in eating. While they are all living extravagant life of new SUVs with bullet prove, new jet, new buildings and renovation of buildings with hundred of billions of Naira, while preaching that we should endure hunger, suffering and hardship, as we are talking many federal workers are yet to be paid, while many state government had pay as far back as 25th of January this year, the situation that has never been experienced in the past. We can all see that one can use propaganda to take power, but the same cannot be used for good governance. We pray that they will get it right so as to minimize our suffering.
