@jidesanwoolu Can someone summarise... I can't find this fascinating to read!

Dear Lagosians, Today, I stand before you deeply committed to the well-being and prosperity of our great state. Lagos has always been a beacon of hope and resilience, reflecting the brilliance and energy of our diverse cultures. For weeks, we’ve faced the prospect of protests aimed at ending what some call "bad government." While the intentions may be noble, some narratives suggesting it’s a means to change the government by non-constitutional means are troubling. Is a protest the catalyst for progress we need now? Will it ensure our challenges vanish in ten days? Will it lower food prices or inspire economic growth? I strongly believe it won’t. Instead, it could undo the modest gains we’ve made. Are there challenges? Yes. Is the government addressing them? Absolutely. Significant efforts are underway across many sectors to alleviate our people’s pain and pave the way to lasting prosperity. This week, President Tinubu signed a new minimum wage into law. Student loans are being disbursed to ease financial burdens, and local governments now have financial autonomy to enhance governance efficiency. The foreign exchange crisis is being creatively tackled. The sale of crude oil to local refineries in Naira will save $7.9 billion annually and strengthen our currency. The Presidential Initiative on CNG is also attracting private investments. We need patience for the benefits of these economic reforms to blossom. Protests can’t achieve in days what economic reforms can in weeks and months. Our nation, under President Tinubu’s courageous leadership, is on the right path. In Lagos, we launched EKOCARES to cushion the effects of economic reforms. From discount markets to reduced transport costs, and free medical care, we are committed to easing the burdens on our people. We’ve increased bursaries and scholarships for Lagos students, ensured free education for new elementary students, and our workers earn above the national minimum wage. We can do more, and we will. Reflecting on the tragic events of the EndSARS protest in 2020, it began peacefully but was later hijacked, resulting in immense destruction and loss. We will NOT allow history repeat itself. During the protests, we saw the destruction of valuable properties and institutions: Lagos High Court, 45 police stations, 12 Local Government offices, 7 Fire Stations, and the Forensic Centre, among others. The City Hall, Nigeria Ports Authority headquarters, and traditional rulers’ palaces were also destroyed. Malls, shops, offices, and hundreds of brand-new BRT buses were lost. Such devastation only sets us back economically and socially. Our goal is a peaceful and prosperous Lagos. We must avoid economic destabilization that can make us poorer. Let’s unite, embrace dialogue, and build a peaceful, prosperous Lagos. To ensure safe and peaceful expression, the Police have designated Gani Fawehinmi Park and Peace Park for protests. These locations will be secured to protect our citizens and prevent chaos. Let’s work together to build a Lagos that is safe, secure, and prosperous for all. Our strength lies in our unity, and our future depends on maintaining peace and stability. God bless Lagos State. God bless Nigeria.

So, till now, they can’t dig out any dirt on Peter Obi?

@WaleBolatito Unfortunately, someone can come here and tweet this trash in 2024? 🤮

Nobody wants to talk about the 20hrs electricity supply in their area!!! Haven’t seen a country engulfed in so much ungrateful people.

@It_Chioma @instablog9ja the world is never fair to men

@instablog9ja This is so wrong, even still the lady is pampered and pet, why? Because she's crying and acting like she is about to pass out for a crime she committed and everyone is clapping 💔 the man still has to be the strong one, nah this is unfair 😭

Lady Meets Man She Falsely Accused of R@p£, after he lost 14years of his life in pr¡$on

@OyinAtiBode @aonanuga1956 ok omo Tinubu

They are free to protest in the south east and south south or even in Abuja if you allow them, but we definitely don't want anyone to plan a violent protest to attack Yorùbáland again! No protest on the Yorùbá soil! We need even soldiers deployed to ensure that even with brute force. We won't allow anyone come to destroy our land and burn buildings and vehicles like the last time. Anybody who tries such should be treated as a terrorist!

REVEALED: Peter Obi's supporters are the people planning mayhem in Nigeria: Obi should be held responsible for anarchy Don’t be fooled: the malcontents planning to stage nationwide protests are supporters of Peter Obi, the failed presidential candidate of the Labour Party. And he should be held responsible for whatever crisis emanates from the action. The protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest in Nigeria in October 2020. ENDSARS began as a genuine protest by youths against the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad, notorious for its high-handedness. IPOB members planning to extricate the South East region from Nigeria infiltrated the protest and hijacked it for their own agenda. Lagos still bears the scar of the malicious destruction by IPOB elements until today. Two years after ENDSARS, the IPOB and the gullible innocents joined the Labour Party in 2022 to support Peter Obi, a sympathiser of their cause. They are the people spreading the hashtags 'EndBadGovernance', 'Tinubu Must Go,' and 'Revolution2024'. They are not democrats but anarchists. They are attempting to call out our people via propaganda because their Messiah, Peter Obi, failed to win the Presidency in the 2023 election. As bad losers, they don't have the patience to wait for another election in 2027; they would rather destabilise Nigeria by staging a civilian coup against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. If they understand the meaning of their hashtags, they will realise they are clarion calls for treason. Wanting to end an elected government is high treason. Wanting revolution is a call for a coup d’etat, which is also high treason. I have been on the trail of one of the protest planners, who is nameless but claims to have an internet radio station, PTM100.88 Abuja. The anonymous person joined X in August 2022 and has 520 followers today, among whom are FS Yusuf, another rabid Obi supporter, and Professor Pat Utomi, a Labour Party chief and a guy on X who goes by the pseudonym Peter Obi's First Son. PTM’s profile image has someone holding the inscription` Certificate Forger Not My President, ' with a photo of Peter Obi as an inset. Only Obi’s supporters will be talking about certificate forgery long after the Supreme Court dismissed the allegation. In the past 24 hours, this faceless X user has been whipping up the gullible to join the protest being planned and also posting the activities of his Messiah, Peter Obi. He retweets Peter Obi often. In one of the posts, a video shows a teenager, who is said to be in the North, printing T-shirts emblazoned with “EndBadGovernance in Nigeria 2024'. There is also a retweeted post by Babatunde Gbadamosi, a failed and frustrated politician in Lagos. In it, he refers to his earlier post urging people “ to identify APC members, sponsors, supporters, enablers, thugs, promoters, and appointees.” The police and DSS ought to have arrested the man for making a brazen threat to political opponents. There is “General Oluchi,” a woman who goes by the screen name “A Field Marshall of the Han Dynasty.” She has been sending out letters of mobilisation. She even pinned a “Week 6 “ letter urging Nigerians to wake up and take control of their country, using the language of IPOB, Peter Obi, and his supporters. Another member of the malcontents is Brother Bernard, also known as Mikael C. Bernard. He is not based in Nigeria because he was once busted over Binance and fraudulent crypto businesses in Nigeria. Bernard was the man who once wrote that the naira should go down to zero. In a reaction to Oluchi, he said the protesters should remove the increase in salaries for the armed forces as part of their demands. “If they want an increment in salary, let them launch their own protest. It is not our job to fight for enablers of evil”, he wrote on X. According to our law, men of the armed forces don’t protest, an X user reminded him. He posted a sarcastic response: ‘By law, they can slap people wearing cams ( camouflage) and shoot at protesters ba?” Security agents should, by now, begin to interrogate these agents of destabilisation. There is no country in the world where people are not going through some economic challenges and where the cost of living is not a major issue. No country is immune from economic turbulence at the moment. Civilised and democratic people wait for another election to make leadership changes. They don’t trigger mayhem in their countries by staging protests, the end of which nobody can predict. Nigerian citizens must consider the government's attitude and concern about the cost of living crisis when deciding whether to join the protests by the Labour Party and IPOB supporters. The Tinubu government has not been found wanting in this regard. The minimum wage has been increased by more than 100 percent. Loans are being disbursed to students in tertiary schools. A credit corporation has been launched to promote consumption credit. Palliatives, including the latest distribution of 740 trucks of rice to the 36 states and Abuja, are being rolled out. Businesses, such as pharmaceuticals, are being assisted. The Federal and state governments are investing heavily in agriculture to produce more food. The economy is improving, inflation is slowing, the national debt has been reduced in dollar terms, and the FIRS has increased revenue generation to record levels. Investors are coming back to our country. Our stock market is the best in the world, with a 33 percent return on investment. President Tinubu has a four-year mandate to run his agenda. Those calling for protest should wait till 2027 to either re-elect him or elect their Messiah, Mr Peter Obi.

STATE HOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU'S STATE VISIT TO QATAR We are aware of a leaked diplomatic correspondence between the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Abuja and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit to Qatar between 2 and 3 March, 2024. The leaked diplomatic paper by mischief makers about an investment forum is not in any way a snub on President Tinubu by the Qatari government. The Note Verbale is about a private sector-led Business and Investment Forum to be held on the margins of President Bola Tinubu's State Visit. The event is being put together by the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) and Qatar's Chambers of Commerce and Industry where business people from Nigeria will engage their counterparts from Qatar on commercial and investment opportunities available in both countries. We note the strong bilateral relationship between our two countries and affirm that the State Visit by President Bola Tinubu to Qatar is on the invitation of the Emir of Qatar, His Highness, Sheik Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani. The State Visit is particularly aimed at strengthening the bilateral economic cooperation between Nigeria and Qatar. NACCIMA and Qatar Chambers of Commerce and Industry are collaborating to take advantage of President Tinubu's visit to Doha to mobilise the business community from our two countries to explore opportunities in key economic sectors such as oil & gas, manufacturing, agro-business, construction, real estate, ICT, Renewable Energy, Solid Minerals and service sector, among others. President Tinubu is expected to proceed to Qatar on the State Visit as scheduled and during the visit, the Nigerian leader will engage in high-level bilateral discussions with Qatari leader on many important matters, covering the full range of diplomatic and economic issues. It is not correct for anyone to insinuate that the Qatari authorities have snubbed the Nigerian leader over a business and investment forum which is tangential to the all-important State Visit and which President Tinubu is slated to attend as a guest. President Tinubu and His Highness Al-Thani are both committed to maintaining and building on the existing cordial and special relationship between Nigeria and the State of Qatar.

@renoomokri I’ve never agreed with you on so many things. But on this, I totally agree 👍. It’s just so insensitive of the ministry of Foreign Affairs.

@jackworldwide2 @woye1 @NigeriaMFA Comrade off the mic!

@woye1 @NigeriaMFA FG not Tinubu, when are you flying the Nigeria Air ?

Qatar vs Nigeria 1: Educated Nigerians should educate people about the procedure of Nigerian President visiting another country. 2: The normal procedure in visiting a country is an exchange of diplomatic cable. It is called “ NOTE VERBALE” 3: @NigeriaMFA leads this discussion and brief the President when an agreed date has been approved. Date not suitable will be rescheduled. 4: Rescheduling a DATE is not a REJECTION or that country is not friendly to us. It Is a normal diplomatic practice. 5: in 2022, Qatar postponed past FG not Buhari’s trip too. Six months after, they agreed and he visited. 6: Biden delayed Netanyahu’s visit to White House. Same US funding Israel. Is USA fighting Israel ni? 7: I am shocked when I read tweets from educated people misleading Nigerians or celebrating Qatar’s decision. When they know the truth. Educate the illiterates so that they will not embarrass us again. 8: Qatar’s investment in Nigeria is around N500bn. 9: Qatar govt recently commenced the construction of 500,000 housing units in Kaduna state. The project is called Qatari Sanabil project. Who are the workers? Nigerians. Who are the beneficiaries of the housing unit? Nigerians 10: the HM @NigEducation @prof_oon find a way to upgrade our curriculum to accommodate current affairs. We are increasing educated illiterate a lot. 11: @YusufTuggar the HM @NigeriaMFA educate Nigerians as well as @NOA_Nigeria

@TheJackForge 😂

@nkeiruka_reps Na everybody dey have discussion with BAT now. lol

Today, I had the privilege of meeting Mr President, His Excellency , Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We had a fruitful discussion and he is sincerely committed to the welfare of workers and Nigerians at large He assured me that Nigerian workers are one of his priorities, stating that he will not play politics with the life of any Nigerian. He also urged Nigerians to remain calm for he will not let them down. 21 - 2 - 2024

@jidennaofficial It’s really a huge job defending APC 😭

You support a man that doesn’t believe in statistics and you are here on Channels TV talking about research, data and figures. Seun held him for throat😂😂 The last slide will break your heart. Osinbajo Good in Bed Abokifx Bashir Ibadan #BreakingNews Akpabio Dollar Nnamdi Kanu

@PIDOMNIGERIA @NgLabour @Julius_Abure @PoliceNG Once he declare support for APC, he’ll be free and his sins forgiven 😂

@Imranmuhdz @woye1 It is yet appalling at 21st-century, Nigeria's biggest problem is centred on food scarcity, at what stage will scientific research development, ultra-modern infrastructure and high-tech surge, will be deemed priorities in the country? A step forward, ten thousand of it backwards

@ayansoladeji @mediavdm I don’t know. But you hardly see. I’m on the motorway virtually everyday of the week.

@phemyx @mediavdm I disagree. Do you know how many accident occurs every weekend ??

@Iykonwuka @Riddwane Koyemi ooo

I have never seen anything like this ever. A sitting government implements bad policies, loot our commonwealth, and you blame Obidients. That's why Obidients are avoiding any protest. They are already getting the blame just because they want to stay away and focus on their business.

I keep on saying it, Obidients are part of the problems Nigeria is dealing with. Created by Peter Obi, the ex-Governor is leading a mob that wants to take away people’s freedom of choice & political rights. Obidients are as worse as those hoarding commodities to kill the economy.
