Reforms itself is not the issue. I have no fundamental objection to reforms or the urgent need for better revenue generation which is the sole aim of tinubus reforms, none of them ensures lives of Nigerians will be better than he met the country. What I have consistently highlighted and what remains deeply troubling is the reckless manner in which these reforms are being implemented. True reform should serve the people, not punish them. Yet this administration has pursued a one-sided approach that fails on every critical measure: 1. It strips ordinary citizens of the few benefits they once received from the country, subsidies, palliatives, and basic protections of lives and properties, while offering virtually nothing in return. 2. It has failed to channel the savings and new revenues into direct, visible investments that create jobs and build industries. Billions are being “saved” or raised, yet there is no corresponding explosion in manufacturing, agriculture value chains, solid minerals processing, or public works that put money directly into pockets of citizens who are ready to work hard. Where are the factories? Where is the Industrial Revolution ? Where is the electricity compared to other countries that tax as high as Nigeria is currently taking from citizens that get absolutely nothing in return as a citizen? 3. It simply hands over the additional funds as increased allocations to the same political class that has repeatedly proven it cannot be trusted with public money. We all know what happens next: the funds disappear into private pockets, inflated contracts, and patronage networks. This is not economic reform, it is purely wealth transfer from struggling citizens through stripped benefits and x10 taxes to political elites who use the money to buy cars for party faithfuls and political allies life is becoming measurably harder for the average person. Fuel prices have soared, inflation has crushed purchasing power, electricity remains a joke in 2026, and taxes are being piled on an already impoverished population. Meanwhile, the political class and their cronies grow richer. And more taxes and borrowings ate still coming This is suffering without purpose. There is no discernible light at the end of this tunnel bro, only deeper darkness for the masses while the elites feast. Until a government shows the political will to balance its revenue drive with genuine industrialisation, job creation, and protection for the vulnerable, it can not be in the interest of the masses. Right now tinubus reform is working against them. The tragedy is not that we are reforming. The tragedy is that we are reforming in the most painful, elitist, and ultimately futile way possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If atiku, Obi or whoever also campaigned about these reforms, I have no problems with them, my sole problem is this type of implementation, it’s shady and only benefits politicians, this cannot be the only way, and these old politicians are not the only ones, the fact that these are our major options alone saddens me, security is literally in shambles, as an insider what I know about the insecurity breaks my heart daily. And we have not even seen the worst, but the government could care less. 😞

The rest of the kidnap nko, kwara, ekiti and others I hope they are political. When it gets close to home too I hope when we say it's political no one will be angry oo

Peter Obi is a good man but a terrible politician ! It is a sad reality but it is what it is .

"He needs to build and own the platform either structurally or ideologically. I see neither!" MoG, it is almost as though Peter Obi can never win in your assessment. Firstly, he has an ideological platform. The Obidient movement. That is why his followers will move to any party he joins. Why? They believe in something that he stands for. There is nothing more ideological a structure than that. Secondly, Peter Obi was criticised for 'not knowing how to play politics'. So, he aligned with those who know how to 'play' it. Now, he is being criticised for doing it. Secondly, we are making these conclusions as though Peter Obi is not the number one target of the current administration. This man's passport was forged. This man was denied a venue for his convention. This man has been denied the chance to create his own party. The president's Chief of Staff is on record asking some people to go to his party to destabilize it. An entire Act was passed into law to trap him in ADC. Rev'd, how are we ignoring all these obstacles and still saying Peter Obi is a weak politician? Have we ever seen any politician in recent Nigerian history who faced this much pressure without either being in jail, collecting bribes to join the opposition, or just outright quitting? A person is going against the behemoth that is Tinubu while still standing, and we call that man weak? Lastly, you said he should build a new structure. With what time? 2027 is just next year. We have a nation to save from the deathly fangs of Tinubu. Thank God you are a finance professional. If your company is facing bankruptcy, you need bailout cash first. It is not building a side business to save the company that would be your priority. That will come after the company is saved. Peter Obi has shown such resilience, agility, and inventiveness. They truncated one party; he pivoted. They passed a law to trap him in that one; he pivoted, too. Now he is a flagbearer with an army of obidients and Kwankwasiyas ready to scale hurdles to vote for him. The goal of his enemies was that he would not be on the ballot. He is on the ballot. He won. That's all that matters. Peter Obi overcame all barriers. And that's why we can never call the man an amateur or weak politician. No, we cannot.

The president has removed subsidy, so why is he still borrowing? 👇👇👇

VeryDarkMan sends a very strong message to the spokesperson to President Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga🙆🏼‍♂️
