@bukolasaraki@Nancy_i_i Thank you @bukolasaraki . You have always lead from the front and valued education as against our present crops of political leaders. Congratulations @Fikkmaths on your achievement. Go and make yourself and Nigerians proud.
I am disappointed in Dangote.
Dangote was supposed to save us from import racketeering. Instead he built a more efficient version of it.
Marketers found out the refinery sells fuel cheaper to foreign traders than to Nigerian companies. So now they ship it to Togo, buy it back as import, and bring it home to Nigeria. And after freight, insurance, and the Lome detour, it still lands in Nigeria N65 cheaper per litre than buying directly from Dangote Refinery Lekki.
Between March and May 2026, 70 to 80% of fuel imported into Nigeria by sea was Dangote fuel. Nigerian fuel oooo that left Nigeria but came back as foreign goods. This business model is not to help Nigerians.
We spent a decade defending this refinery as the thing that would finally free us from the import cartel. Turns out the cartel just changed address. Same exploitation, new gantry.
If your own product is cheaper in Lome than in Lekki, you didnโt build a refinery. You built a tollgate and called it patriotism honestly.
Mr Bayo Onanuga @aonanuga1956, you have called Peter Obi's @PeterObi resignation call "childish" and "anti-democratic", built solely on the fact that Nigeria runs a presidential, not parliamentary, system. But that argument cannot be applied selectively. In 2014, as insecurity under President Goodluck Jonathan @GEJonathan worsened, particularly following the Chibok abductions, then-opposition leader Bola Tinubu @officialABAT was among the prominent voices who publicly called on President Jonathan to take responsibility for the security failures of his administration, including suggestions that he should consider resigning or, at a minimum, step aside on security grounds. Nigeria was a presidential system then too. The constitutional structure has not changed since 2014.
So the question to you is simple: was Asiwaju Tinubu's position in 2014 also "childish" and "anti-democratic" by the same standard you are applying to Obi today, or does the rule only apply when the President in office is not your principal? Consistency is the first test of credibility in public communication, and this statement fails it.
Beyond the rhetorical contest, the public deserves a Presidency that engages directly with the substance of insecurity, the cost of living, and governance gaps, rather than spending official communication attacking the messenger's right to speak. President Tinubu's office should be less concerned with policing who is "allowed" to criticise him and more focused on demonstrating, through verifiable, dated, audited figures, that the conditions under which ordinary Nigerians live are genuinely improving.
The tone of this statement reads as triumphalist rather than accountable, more focused on basking in recent electoral wins than addressing the lived hardship driving public frustration. Holding office is not the same as governing well, and dismissing critics as "childish" does not substitute for delivering verifiable results that Nigerians can independently confirm.
@aonanuga1956 One sentence from Obi and a text book response! We clearly see who is trying to doing the explanation. Opposition must hold government to account.
