DISLIFE

@OmoteOse Yes you all cried that Nigeria was bad then. So despite those cheap things you still felt the country wasn't being run well. Maybe cheap goods isn't a good indicator of a well run economy.

I have seen a good Nigeria where with your N30K,the goods you buy from the market will full a tricycle (Keke marwa)! Goods worth N500k can’t full a keke! I once received 100dollars and changed it at Hamdala for N22,300! Same is N137,725 now! I filled 12.5Kg gas for N2720 with anger then,now it’s N16K! If you had no idea then I am telling you now,so when I say I hate APC I meant it! Keep crying under posts and when you are done,stand In front of a trailer if them born you well!!

@Sophienix__ @ennyola0015 We went through years of leadership who failed to adapt to the time, we operated outdated policies on subsidy, FX, Tax, security, power..etc this is a govt trying to bring us upto date, things will be hard due to years of neglect but the future is brighter

Something else like what? Let me paint a picture to you. More lives have been lost than we can count in the North. Your president promised that in his first tenure if he doesn’t provide electricity we shouldn’t revote him… then went and removed Aso Rock from Nigerian electricity grid. This thing is simple na. If Nigerians are dying and hungry and what is important is change that is only on paper then something is wrong!

Only people who understand basic economics tend to support Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reforms✍️ that’s why elites and international institutions back him. But for those focused on day-to-day survival🤔 it’s not funny at all. Elites think long-term stability Average citizens think “can I eat this week?”

@Sophienix__ @ennyola0015 Are you saying the killings in the North is because of PBATs policies? While Nigerias security architecture has needed restructuring for ages, its PBAT that has been advocating and promising state policing. While things are not yet perfect we must acknowledge his intent.

@Stadder_labs @StatiSense The writer knows this, but he is busy pretending to be dumb.

@StatiSense Not really. Early years are close, but 2025 is off. Nigeria isn’t ~$285B — it’s still ~$400–500B+. That “drop” is mostly currency devaluation, not real collapse. Ghana is growing, but the gap hasn’t shrunk to 1.5× — Nigeria is still ~4–5× larger.

🇬🇭 GHANA RAPIDLY CLOSING THE GDP GAP WITH 🇳🇬 NIGERIA (2010–2025) Selected Years (Billion $) 2010 🇬🇭 Ghana — $45.45B 🇳🇬 Nigeria — $526.81B Nigeria’s GDP was ~1059% larger than Ghana’s. 2015 🇬🇭 Ghana — $49.44B 🇳🇬 Nigeria — $696.09B Nigeria’s GDP was ~1307% larger than Ghana’s. 2020 🇬🇭 Ghana — $70.01B 🇳🇬 Nigeria — $598.73B Nigeria’s GDP was ~755% larger than Ghana’s. 2025 🇬🇭 Ghana — $111.96B 🇳🇬 Nigeria — $285.00B Nigeria’s GDP was ~155% larger than Ghana’s. Between 2020 and 2025: Ghana’s GDP grew from $70B → $112B (+60%) Nigeria’s GDP fell from $599B → $285B (−52%) This illustrates Ghana’s rapid economic growth relative to Nigeria, significantly closing the GDP gap. #Statisense (IMF)

The joke is on you, PBAT gave a Vice presidency slot to someone, let me know when obi beats that.

@Sophienix__ @ennyola0015 Isn't it those same basic amenities we've been trying and failing woefully to provide for decades? Is it not time we try something else ?

So what exactly is your point? Truth is before fixing whatever long term stability you guys seem to be seeing... Providing basic amenities should have been the first priority. Didn't doctors just go on strike? There are insecurities in the North. No electricity. Na Una know the economics Una dey talk about

Nothing wey dem wan tell me, those guys are doing something illegal there, there is no way they can be so unsettled if their hands are clean.

@itzODo @General_Somto You're stupid.

@General_Somto Bros yoh are wrong oooo they don’t video in anyhow places. You can’t just video people without their knowledge (1) Two Thats a filling station (2) It’s not a govt establishment (3)

@wisingman You lack common sense, is the lady the lender? It's an institutional lender that should employ more decent and cultured people for debt recovery not uncouth and unruly idiots like you.

The average Nigerian is a thief and scammer. You borrow a loan and now to pay back na war and the lender is the bad person who is stressing your life.

We have a generation with poor mindset, how is your value decided by the position you're sitting in a car, like Wtf, and to ladies saying "real man" wait till you're the mother. Why would I even be concerned with who sits where in a car....utter nonsense.

@hiskolly7 @IBEDC_NG Very useless company

-@IBEDC_NG please start selling pepper or some shit.

@IBEDC_NG When are you going to fix the continuous issue with your service anytime one tries to buy units. How hard could it be to find a solution? Consult other discos if your techs are incompetent.

@dr90ng @fimiletoks We are faced with a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea , I still think subnational govt aren't doing enough to provide palliative and reliefs to the people esp.with the increased allocation

This is a sharp, sobering analysis. A ₦500/litre subsidy returning petrol to ~₦800 would indeed cost the federation ~₦5.4 trillion in 6 months, money we simply do not have without serious trade-offs. The real tragedy isn’t just the fiscal numbers. As a trauma physician, I’ve watched how fuel subsidy removal (and the chaos around it) directly translates into human suffering: Delayed emergency care as transport costs spike Increased maternal and child mortality from unaffordable hospital trips Surge in stress-related trauma, hypertension, and mental health crises Small businesses collapsing, pushing more families into poverty-driven desperation Subsidy or no subsidy, we’re stuck in the same trap: short-term political relief vs long-term structural reality. The painful truth is that Nigeria’s biggest problem isn’t just oil production shortfall or Ways and Means. It’s governance capacity, the inability to make trade-offs with data, transparency, and human impact in mind. We need smarter tools: AI-driven fiscal modeling that can simulate these scenarios in real time (with proper clinical governance so the models don’t hallucinate false optimism). We need ruthless prioritization, not more borrowing to subsidize consumption while security and infrastructure starve. True nation-building demands we stop kicking the can down the road. Every subsidy decision is a life-or-death decision for millions. The question isn’t whether we can afford subsidy. It’s whether we can afford another cycle of illusion, debt, inflation, and preventable deaths. What’s the wiser path here? targeted subsidy for the vulnerable, massive non-oil revenue push, or something else? Intelligent minds, let’s hear your thoughts!

Sunday piece... A subsidy of N500 per litre which will bring the cost of petrol to about N800 will cost us N30bn daily and N900bn monthly for the first month and trust the number to go up with fraud in subsequent months. N5.4trn in 6 months. Plug and play the figures for your targeted pump price eith subsidy. N900bn is 50% of the FAAC shared in February which means subsidy will reduce revenues by 50%. No state except Lagos, Delta and Rivers can absorb this shock in their budgets based on projected revenue and dependency on FAAC. They won't be able to pay salaries and fund The FG's budget deficit will also worsen which means we have to go back to ways and means. With ways and means, inflation and Naira devaluation is sacrosanct. Looking at the FG projections - $60 per barrel and 1.84m barrel per day production. Even though oil prices have gone up, our production shortfall counters the gain massively. We also have forward contract obligations to meet with crude. We would have made a windfall with a production over 2m bpd. With Executive order 9, conservatively we can estimate a monthly Excess crude account inflow at $15m - $20m daily. Conservatively even the money from Excess crude prices can't pay the subsidy requirement so we need to borrow to pay it. While Cardoso will be looking at boosting our reserves, Wale will be eyeing the fund to pay some of our debt obligations while a percentage of accrued FAAC should be deployed to cushion the effects of the unwarranted global oil increase. What can the government cut? Nothing, the police is recruiting, Army is recruiting, forest guards are coming onboard and we are spending on insecurity with a debt in trillions hanging above the power sector. Growth in Non oil revenue is now as important as ever. Challenging times for Cardoso, Mr. Wale Edun, Mr. Zach and Mr. Taiwo. Caveat - This post is for people with a certain level of IQ.

@Gviev The former president I dislike most, he is an incompetent coward.

People just dey hero worship GEJ.. His dossier is like a a memoir in my archive...a case of the WEAKEST AND MOST COWARDLY PRESIDENT Nigeria ever had..... The only President that had a chance to make Nigeria be like UAE but bungled it out of Weakness, Cowsrdice, very weak political will and intelligence.....A regime that made whooping $400 Billion in Oil Revenue in 5 years!!!....a big period of long tenured oil boom... Apart from allowing dollars carelessly flow freely on the streets of Nigeria giving Nigerians a FLUKE AND BUBBLE FEELING OF PROSPERITY.......the $400 Billion went down the drain... That is the man some people with SELECTIVE AMNESIA keep talking about like their OLD MESSIAH COMETH...... Mtschew

@AceKelm @Renewedm1nd @Morris_Monye @POTUS Shey you hear woroworo? That's your small brain hitting your skull.

@Renewedm1nd @Morris_Monye @POTUS Smh. 🫢

I hope you will do this for ADC, LP and NDC convention. This is the handle of the Presidency not APC. The Presidency is for all Nigerians. It’s tiring educating you guys all the time.

@Morris_Monye There are stupid takes, then there is this one oga patapata of dumb post.

@Cee_jayking Your uncle na weyrey

When I first moved to the UK, I was squatting with my mom’s younger brother, who by the way is freaking rich!!!! He’s lived here for most of his life and would visit Nigeria only during Christmas. Married a white woman and has kids. I looked up to him, admired him and he was one of my favorite uncles. We had a good relationship for the longest of time before I left Nigeria. However, after moving into his house I realized he is deputy Satan. He treated me like shit. Talked down on me like I was beneath him. Would mock my “Nigerian accent”. One day he saw me using the microwave and asked if I have ever used one in my life or if we had one in Nigeria. Asked if I knew what a washing machine is. Me? First class graduate from FUTO with my IELTS band 8.0. Many things I can’t remember now but one thing I can’t forget was one time his wife and son travelled in the summer. It was on a Sunday and we’d just got back from church. I decided to make us lunch and so with my money I got stuffs from the shops. I made him barbecue fish with plantain. Specially. I was happy doing something nice for this man. He accepted it after I served, or so I thought. I went into my room until the next day when I was leaving early for work. Just as I was about leaving the door, he called me back in. Asked why I decided to make him food yesterday. I responded that I just wanted to do something nice for him and since his wife wasn’t at home to cook for him, I decided to. He looked me dead in the eye, said I should never offer anything again to him, told me he left “my fish” in the kitchen and I should take it back. lol I grew up in so much comfort that I’d never experienced “maltreatment” and anyone being condescending to me until my adult life. Till today, I still ask God to help me forgive him because I’ve never hated someone in my entire life this much. It was so bad that at a point I also resented my mom for being his sister. I resented their entire family. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well you have a good one now and it's hard to fix the country and guess what? Clowns like you keep crying because it's hard, even though everything he has done till now are steps to fix the country, all you want is an easy life, you don't really care about the country.

@donovan_adam @England Someone refused to play for you for years and you think he cares if he's never invited again? England needs him more than he needs the call up

Couldn’t agree more. Can’t stand White, he has a massive blown up sense of his own self importance despite the profession he’s found himself in. Shouldn’t be anywhere near a @England squad.
