The reason why ADELEKE triumphed is that voters came out 43% percent is better than the recent voter turnout

If at least 60m people come out in 2027 the elections will be too big to rig

Nigerians must come out

@winexviv I think it all depends on the value of our naira. Our naira wont have much power when it’s easy to steal billions of it and squander on frivolous expenditures. Na see-finish Dey do our naira.

I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.

They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.

They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.

Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.

The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.

Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.

At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.

Nothing happened to you.

The economy happened to you.

And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.

Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.

You didn’t lose your job.

You didn’t lose your salary.

But somehow, you lost your standard of living.

That is poverty too.

And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.

Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.

But surely, the bigger question should be:

Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?

If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.

But it has not solved the actual problem.

The real problem is that his labour has lost value.

And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.

How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?

How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?

How do we make food cheaper by producing more?

How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?

How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?

Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.

It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.

There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.

There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.

There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.

There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.

People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”

Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”

That is the part that keeps bothering me.

Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.

They just want hard work to make sense again.

And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:

Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?

Everything else is secondary.

Femi Gbaja is still Chief of Staff despite evidences of his alleged complicity in corruption.

Amupitan is still Chairman of INEC despite evidences of his partisanship

It's obvious now that what we have in Aso Rock is not a Presidency but a Syndicate

We have successfully uploaded the name of our Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, CON to the INEC Portal.

Keep the faith, We are in this together. ✌🏻✅

[PO’s MainChic😎 @D_goodybag]

Whenever Peter Obi speaks, he sees us as people that can be more.

Bola Tinubu & his wife sees Nigerians as slaves.

Always about grains to eat.
This should be from how they see their supporters.

[Dr Yunusa Tanko @YunusaTanko]

The target is PO. It is our duty to resist this and work collectively to ensure that PO remains our candidate on the INEC portal.

JUST IN: “Preventing Obi and Kwankwaso from appearing on the ballot could trigger a crisis that may prove too difficult for the Bola Tinubu administration to manage.”

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

Like I said they will do everything to get the opposition off the ballot

I predicted this, weeks ago and it’s happening

They are just testing the microphone

BOLA AHMED TINUBU IS AFRAID OF PETER OBI

[HABIBU YUSUF SODANGI @HabibaIdri40129]

To those Fulani threatening me or claiming that I was sponsored by Christians, Jews, Berom, or Kataf, you should know that it was Fulani who killed my brother, Jamilu Tanimu, and Karima. It was Fulani who kidnapped my brother's two daughters, Naja'atu and Aisha. It was Fulani who shot my grandfather, Musa Imam, leaving him crippled. It was Fulani who killed my intimate classmate and seatmate, Badamasi Ibrahim. It was Fulani who kidnapped many of my siblings and friends, displaced my village for a long time, and made my village poorer than ever before.

It was not Christians, Berom, Kataf, or Jews. It was Fulani who caused these problems for my family and for many Hausa people in general.

I will never love those who committed these acts of terrorism against my family. Even now, if I step into my mother's room, I will see Asmau, the daughter of my younger brother, Jamilu, who was killed by Fulani terrorists.

This is my true life story. These are my views and my opinions. I can't love my enemies and Fulani are my true enemies

[Dr KALU, OON @DrKalu_]

Tinubu is so afraid of Peter Obi that he had to rush to Kogi State the home of political corruption to obtain a Black Market Judgement to deregister the NDC.
He has failed.

Peter Obi is coming

You are unlikely to ever be as rich as Dangote, and you have already missed the boat to fame as either an athlete or an artiste. But you have gained immortality by your efforts in pursuit of a sustainable and relevant educational system for the youthful victims of Nigerian..👏🏿

@OurFavOnlineDoc I wonder why they don’t show this level of Barbarity when Bandits/Boko haram are caught and then reintegrated into the army/our society by the Government.
