@Gist59488574 @Big_marvis Tell me the one that's true

@OnipedeAA @Big_marvis This is not true o

Three years after military takeovers in Sahel countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, I think it’s fair to start making honest comparisons with Nigeria. Out of pure curiosity: Can anyone name one single aspect where any of these military-led Sahel countries is clearly doing better than Nigeria today? I’m genuinely interested in the facts, whether we should consider changing our system or stick with democracy.

@marvelousokoro1 @Big_marvis Werey. No concrete defence apart from what their paymasters tell them. Mention any of those countries you should be competing with in Africa and let's compare currencies.

@OnipedeAA @Big_marvis Oboi just us your two hands close your mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@legiontherapper @Big_marvis Can Nigeria's highest currency denomination buy a litre of petrol? No. South Africa's rand has R200 as its highest currency, and that gets you more than 7 litres of petrol. It's you that open your mouth like a human with cognitive imbalance. Even Benin Republic's money is better

@OnipedeAA @Big_marvis Which currency is more valuable than ours . Una go just open mouth waaaa

@osazenoo E ku analysis. But what is in it for the people.

Any serious politician would do well to study the playbook of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. After investing years into building both party structure and electoral victories, most notably backing the rise and reelection of Muhammadu Buhari; he found himself in a paradox: the very system he helped strengthen grew distant, and at moments, even resistant to his own ambition in 2023. Within the All Progressives Congress, there were clear signs of hesitation, internal pushback, and shifting loyalties. But instead of walking away or fracturing the platform, he chose to stay the course. He leaned on years of political capital, relationships, and influence; calling in favors, consolidating alliances, and navigating internal battles that could have derailed a less seasoned operator. Where others might have retreated, he doubled down. He stood by the party he helped build, even when that loyalty wasn’t fully reciprocated. And in doing so, he demonstrated a core lesson in Nigerian politics: power isn’t just about popularity or momentum; it’s about endurance, structure, and the ability to outlast resistance within and beyond your own camp.

@Aoo59650436 @clintonagoni @osazenoo What's it that he's laid on ground even if Dubai wasn't built in 3 years?

@clintonagoni @osazenoo Yea. A magician built Dubai in 3 years. Dubai emirate is only one of UAE. You want a much bigger Nigeria to be built in less than 3 years. Just listen to yourself

@ansem_edet But Tinubu has a clue? Eleriibu

“Let’s copy Argentina” — bankrupt “Why can’t we be like Egypt?”—bankrupt I hope we all learn that Nigerian problems will require Nigerian solutions, no two scenarios are exactly the same. Avoid people like Peter Obi, he doesn’t have a clue.

@EbiriGbonka You're stupendously fullish for writing this jargon. So a comedian isn't free from your monitoring also. He's a skit maker. What's your own job?

This idiot here wears a Yoruba agbada.... at his back is a seal that says 'Olaniyi State'.... and in that stupid character, he portrays subtle jabs of bad leadership in a region his people migrate to in droves to survive while he praises his own leaders like Alex Otti.... with total amnesia for everything wrong where he comes from. This is the arrogance of entitled ungrateful minds from home that people like him extend beyond the boarders.... South Africans own their land…. They have a right to insist on the kind of migrants they want. It is well in their rights to show reservations and even expel people they are not comfortable with…. Irrespective of their real or imagined contributions, same way Nigerians once told Ghanaians to leave their country. It takes a totally undiplomatic and insane mindset to go to someone else’s country in a search for survival and then try to lecture him on what citizenship is…. Even more barbaric to claim that you (a migrant) are a better citizen than him (a native) because you (supposedly)built a small business while he is (supposedly) going around idle. It is the heights of gaslighting to ignore the displeasure of a people uncomfortable with the drug peddling, disrespect to their women…. disrespect to their culture and corroding of their native kingship system and then claim they are upset because they are jealous…. You went to meet them in their land… they did not come to meet you in your land…. If tensions intensify, they will not be the ones to leave their homes for you… It is you that will leave their lands for them. When you go around with such senseless arrogance…. Pretending to be the best of God’s creature and others are envious because you imagine God made you a master race… you create problems, not only for yourselves but for others who (unfortunately) share a passport with you. I place this blame on Nigeria government…. Most of these acts started from home. If they have addressed these things with a good constitution fit for a multiethnic country, it would have curtailed this arrogance and feeling of entitlement in the ancestral homes of others outside the country.

@AskTemitope @samak1233 And that's why their biggest economy, Kano, cannot hold a candle to Oyo State in terms of IGR.

@samak1233 Only a foolish southerner can think so. North economy: agriculture and logistics

Why do most Southerners think Northerners are poor? One onions farm in Northern Nigeria generate more revenue annually than INNOSON vehicle could generate in two years. Agriculture is a very big industry, and north have it at a very large scale.

@BalogunKakanfo1 You're a fullll

Author Unknown "When Dollar was equal to Naira, Peugeot was assembling cars in Kaduna, Volkswagen was producing their brand from Lagos. Leyland was rolling out Trucks from Ibadan while Anamco produce buses from Enugu. Dunlop and Michelin were making Tyres for these vehicles. The Windscreen for those vehicles were made by Oluwa Glass and one other company in Ibadan(I've forgotten the name offhead) Even car batteries were produced locally while Berec was making Radio batteries. In secondary school, during long holiday, I was employed as Time keeper at Federal Secretariat during the construction Textile factories litters the place not to mention plastic factories. All these companies have distributors all over the country. Peugeot distributor in Calabar then will most likely be a Calabar person(no monopoly). Late Ooni of Ife Oba Sijuade was Peugeot distributor in Ile-Ife before he became king. In 1979 when Alex Ekweme became the vice president, he was controlling the economy and introduce import licence. Getting a licence became difficult like going to heaven but not for his Ibo brothers. Companies like UAC and 7Up cried out for not getting licence to bring their products and raw materials. The Ibos that got the licence enter China, India and Taiwan with it bringing fake and substandard products. Many houses catch fire because of substandard electrical Cables from China. No cable is better than those made by Nigeria Wire Company in Ikeja till today. Dunlop and Michelin left Nigeria because of fake tyres they brought into the country that killedthe local manufacturer. Mind you, all those companies employed thousands of Nigerians(when these animals says no employment today, they killed all the companies that would have employ people). Atlantic Textile Mills alone in Ikeja had over ten thousand staffs. Royal Paints, Dulux Paints, PZ Industries. Thermocool was making refrigerator. Bolous Enterprises in Ikeja was assembling Suzuki while Honda in Otta roll out Honda products. Asaba Textiles in Asaba even had football club that plays in division one then. Can you imagine what the value of Naira will be today if we are not importing all these things? They killed the local producers to become sole importers from China. One animal who have been doing importation for more than 30 years and have not stop will say "I want to move Nigeria from consumption to production" They killed Nigeria Airways, Nigeria National Shipping Line, Nigeria Railways! They killed Nigeria! Obasanjo said Nigeria Airways had 47 functional planes when he hand over to Shagari/Ekweme in 1979. Just 20 year later in 1999 when he came back as president, only 4 grounded plane was remaining. They killed Nitel and set fire on its building. Nigeria was able to make great achievements after the war became Ibos were not in position of decision making after the war. Middle Belts, Niger Delta, Yoruba and Northerners were in position of policy making in Nigeria when those companies and Industries sprang up. They sabotage every good thing we achieved. Nigeria had it's highest GDP when Ibos were not around to import useless things even though Nigeria was fighting a war.(God bless Awolowo economy)

@GoziconC Ko de ni daa fún o

We all condemn extra-Judicial killings but if her children were responsible enough, they wouldn't have any business with the police

@MasterBolaji Werey! The reality on ground is different

Nigeria’s stock market growth under: ​Obasanjo: ₦5.12tr Yar’Adua: ₦6.03tr Jonathan: ₦11.42tr Buhari: ₦28.45tr Tinubu (Current): ₦145.3tr All past leaders did ₦50.02tr over 24 years, while BAT has done ₦145.3 trillion in just 3 years. That’s a massive difference.

@iOccupyNigeria @Big_marvis And which country adheres to democratic ideals or even became a developed country through democratic ideals? Mention one.

You dey very ignorant that na why the only place you fit find work na APC Data room. UAE na monarchy, Saudi, Qatar and Brunei too. None of those people na politicians, dem be monarchs why constitutionally own the Nation. You also bring Putin enter the matter, which normal person dey use Putin as example of democratic ideals. Anyway, you get the Nigeria you deserve, the day Nigeria go happen to you, na only God fit save you.

Peter Obi: “In any country where politicians are richer than businesspeople, that country is finished.” Reality check: • UAE: President MBZ ~$30B • Saudi: MBS controls hundreds of billions • Qatar, Brunei: Ruling families own the wealth • Russia: Putin estimated $100-200B Yet these rank among the world’s richest nations per capita. Nigeria’s problem isn’t politicians’ wealth — it’s poor governance & failed policies. Delivery > slogans. (Obi’s absolute claim is simply false.)

@RashwalRashwal @woye1 @abdullahayofel @Alpha_Yom @salawueedris1 Bullshit. As you were only scoring Ds and Cs I'm political science class there's no way you'd understand the concept of objectivity in science.

ARE YOU REALLY CERTAIN THAT PETER OBI WON LAGOS IN 2023? I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU . See, I am a political scientist by training. I wasn't a good student - I was good with activities not academics 😂. Ds and Cs were my best records 😂😂. But if there's one thing I learnt in those classes, it's to think like a scientist. I like to question just everything and when I go even deeper I discovered that even most things society believe to be true were built on a wrong assumption. One of those is the 2023 election Lagos miracle 😂. See eh , save this post. When Mr Peter Obi will write his biography he'll tell us he was surprised that he won Lagos more than his surprise that he lost Rivers because the two states were significant. Imagine Jagaban losing Lagos ?🤣 A man who couldn't be defeated by even a powerful president like Chief Obasanjo? And President Jonathan had no choice but work with him to deliver Lagos to PDP in 2011. Don't deceive yourself. Let's go analytical now . Every voting momentum comes with a wave or tsunami. Whether in America, India or Nigeria. When the Obama wave came in 2016, it swept through Red states. When the Trump wave came in 2016 and 2023 he won both houses in Congress. When the Biden wave happened, we saw how they got the both houses? And the Democratic wave is gradually happening again and you're seeing how they're taking Red territories in Texas, Virginia and other places. It's setting the stage for the Democrats capturing Congress in November and the Presidency in 2028. It's just that way. In 2015 and 2019, the Buhari wave brought so many politicians who based on their weak personalities couldn't win elections on their own. Also when they went against the wave in 2019 , they were thrown out . The wave even threw away influential politicians. Example was Former Senate President Bukola Saraki, Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso and so many others. They lost their seats. So usually when such waves happen, the effects don't leave suspicions. The impacts are assuring. Think about this . That election was done.... - Same day - Same time - Same voters And yet Obi won the presidency in Lagos. APC swept the 3/3 Senate seats in Lagos. APC swept 20/24 LP got 3 PDP got 1. A wave that swept the presidency should have gotten more than that. Here's my conclusion. Tinubu intentionally wanted to get defeated in Lagos to give those Buhari cabal who were plotting to cancel the elections no reasons to justify their planned actions. Not that he had influence over the elections. No He could have asked the APC machine to slow down in churning out voters. That can be done. So if Jagaban lost Lagos to labour party, what excuse do you have to say the election was rigged? Elections are mathematical. Telling me Obi's wave won Lagos but couldn't have impact on elections done the same minute is not scientific. It doesn't add up And when it was time for Governorship election, remember the Obidients got even more angry for losing the presidency in Nigeria. Then they claimed they were going to take Lagos? So we should see a repeat of the wave maybe if not in the Governorship,but on the House of Assembly seats. How many seats did they win? APC — 38 seats Labour Party (LP) — 2 seats You see? So be careful when banking on that 2023 result of Obi winning Lagos. It's not correct mathematically. And you'll see a proof of this in 2027. Tinubu just wanted to survive in 2023 and that was why his strategy wasn't a "domino" one. 2027 strategy is "Maximum victory". You'll be wondering where Obi's 6M votes went to. Save this post.

@Gen_Buhar You'd have made a lot of sense if your useless debt analysis of Dubai had pointed to at least two credible sources where Dubai borrowed the money. Eediot.

DUBAI WAS BUILT ON DEBT — NOT MAGIC. NIGERIANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS. Please SHARE this post. Counter the noise and propaganda. When people point at Dubai today, they see skyscrapers, luxury, and global influence. What they don’t see is the decades of strategic borrowing, risk-taking, and painful decisions that built it. Let’s talk In the 1950s and 60s, Dubai was a poor desert trading post, heavily dependent on fishing and pearling. When oil was discovered in 1966, reserves were actually very limited compared to neighbors like Abu Dhabi. That’s when Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum made a bold decision: Borrow heavily to build infrastructure BEFORE wealth arrived. He took loans to finance: - Port Rashid (1972) - Jebel Ali Port (1979) — now one of the largest ports in the world. - Dubai World Trade Centre (1979) At the time, many critics called it reckless. Why build massive infrastructure with money you don’t yet have? But Rashid understood something powerful: “Build it, and the economy will come.” Fast forward to the 2000s under Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum: Dubai doubled down on debt-funded expansion: - Emirates Airline expansion - Palm Islands - Burj Khalifa By 2009, Dubai faced a debt crisis of about $80 billion. Yes — $80 BILLION. They had to be bailed out by Abu Dhabi. Yet today? Dubai is: A global logistics hub A tourism powerhouse A financial center One of the most visited cities in the world. NOW LET’S BRING IT HOME When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu borrows to fund infrastructure, many Nigerians shout: “Why are we borrowing?!” But here’s the truth: Borrowing is not the problem. Misuse is. Every serious economy in the world has used debt to grow: United States — over $30 trillion debt . China — massive infrastructure debt model. Japan — over 200% debt-to-GDP. Debt becomes dangerous only when: It is stolen It is wasted on consumption It doesn’t create productivity But when used for: Roads Railways Power Ports Industrial zones It becomes a tool for national transformation. THE REAL ISSUE NIGERIANS SHOULD FOCUS ON? Not just “borrowing” — but: What exactly are we borrowing for? Are projects completed? Are they generating economic value? Are states using increased allocations wisely? Because here’s another fact: Since subsidy removal, states are receiving significantly higher FAAC allocations — yet many are not translating that into visible development. I Maximillian Chisom Ugoji hereby submit to you 😂 that (make I pretend to be a lawyer small), Dubai didn’t become Dubai by playing safe. It took: Vision Debt Risk Discipline Nigeria cannot develop on: Fear Sentiment Political shouting Everything no be politics o. We must demand accountability, not reject strategy. Because the truth is simple: No nation builds world-class infrastructure without borrowing. NONE. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is borrowing to build infrastructure and I support him with my full chest. Please SHARE this post. Ugoji Maximillian

@MasterBolaji @Bennyursu No other point from your brain apart from "he's a friend of El-Rufai". Oga is anything the problem with you? What kind of education or sycophanting would make one so dumb as to be repetitive of a worn out phrases instead of using their education to address an issue?

@Bennyursu It's very political. He's a friend to El-Rufai.

You see, politics can blind people, either from speaking truth or seeing it clearly. I believe Sanusi Lamido’s comments on Nigeria’s borrowing are shaped by his support for El-Rufai against the government. He is highly learned, yet politics can still cloud judgment over time.!!

@MasterBolaji @gabriel_bolatit He should be supportive of unending borrowing na. Enemies of the masses. Someone asked a simple question, instead of looking at the veracity of the issue raised, you start pointing who the monarch likes and who he's supporting. Like anyone who asks honest questions now is bad.

@gabriel_bolatit It's obvious. Sanusi shouldn't be asking that kinda question.

@Anifelconsult Does it matter the year of graduation? I left school 11 years ago with a 2:1. And I'm more than 34 now but less than 40.

If a lowly 2:1 CGPA (3:59) graduate 😂😂😂(olodo rabata) like me can get a life changing fully funded masters degree opportunity at 34yrs on a stipend of $750 per month through opportunity shared by a friend. Yes u 2 can get it. I’ll keep sharing same life changing opportunities

@99Angels__ @smartnakamoura That's wrong of you. He educated me on how these "Fintech" guys make their money cos I used to think about how they make gains.

@smartnakamoura Most useless piece of information I've ever seen on this app

The nigerian fintech playbook nobody talks about. OPay, Palmpay, Moniepoint. you think they're doing this for you. they're not. here's how they actually make money 🧵

@smartnakamoura @Sebkeyz1 I have 800k in GTBANK. Use from it or not, I get deducted money every week. Opay. NOTED I hardly withdraw money, & that more money are coming in, now they're offering me a 1.2m loan that, if I can return it in ten days, I pay zero interest. Who should I use, GT or OPAY? Uber!!!

@Sebkeyz1 okayyyyyyyy 😹
