@Kennyking212 @Big_Mck Many Nigerians are eternally dense.

This is exactly what they think - because they live behind high walls & have generators running constantly and are fed on tax payers dime, they don't believe people are suffering.

It doesn't stop there. They don't believe the country is insecure. They don't believe the roads are bad. They don't believe education is in the pits. They don't believe we lack access to healthcare.

They think all our pain and suffering are lies manufactured by the opposition to get them out of power.

He's told you exactly what the Tinubu admin thinks of you. The question is what are you going to do about it?

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

@h_hamzzar @EkezuIkpa_II @amasonic What you both have not done is answer his question. https://t.co/1A10mSsMZ7
Will be nice to have your thoughts on it. I don't mean the generic "there are groups with commonalities" response.

[Mark Amaza @amasonic]

@EkezuIkpa_II So are you doing North-South? Ethnicities? Religion? A combination of all 3? How is it supposed to work?

"We need something fresh"

Says a young guy who has chosen to stay far away from politics. Since you're staying far away, this something fresh, who will set it up?

Who will run it, & who will keep it fresh?

Everyone wants a better country, but wants to stay away from politics😀

[SKALES @youngskales]

Nobody paid me as a matter of fact I’m staying as far away as I can from politics but I am a Nigerian citizen … I do not support none of this political parties cos they have all failed Nigeria … we need something fresh

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@olumidecapital This is a solid background.

As Africans, we are very ungrateful to the Chinese.

Without China, many countries in Africa wouldn't be able to have new and modern infrastructure.

From railways to super highways, power plants, airports, etc.

Without China, millions of Africans won't be able to afford cheap/affordable smart phones and home appliances.

If there's one country on earth that has helped to lift millions of Africans out of poverty, it is China.

China is the reason why we have what looks like a middle class in Africa.

It costs an average of $25 ,000 to install a solar system in a family home in the U.S.

In the U.K, the average cost is £9,000 – £13,000

In Canada, $25,000

In France: 7,500 to €22,000

Across Africa, the average cost is $3,000.

Thanks to affordable solar systems from China. Without China, some of you that have solar systems in your homes won't be able to afford it. You wouldn't know what a steady and regular supply of power looks like.

Africa owes China a ton of gratitude.

We should stop with these silly propaganda against China.

If there's one country on earth we should be grateful to, it is China.

Nigerians and respect.
Foolish bunch.

Second terms are for leaders who deliver. Mediocrity should not be rewarded with more responsibility.

@Big_Mck America's spell is a combination of the free CNN that Nigerians grew up watching with those silver and net satellite dishes (Arabsat & Comsat), hollywood movies and in the hope of a visa.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

No, everyone wants peace, Israel wants a piece of everyone.

[Iran News 24 @IRanMediaco]

Everyone wants peace, except Israel.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@real_olayinka11 @tylerjimmy_ @asemota A delusional Nigerian who grew up watching CNN and Hollywood movies.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@LupeScarbelli @MunachiOgueke @tylerjimmy_ @asemota You're arguing with a Nigerian?
Nigerians who have zero sense of situational awareness and self-preservation?

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@SDogohn @MrsBu_ I don't know if it's the marriages of your parents or siblings or the increasing poverty that makes you folks have these jaundiced takes.

Some of us have been running homes for over a decade, and money is a tool for our spouses and us. Not something to drag the other with.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@SDogohn @MrsBu_ Go and find a boyfriend first. Lol

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@That_girlAJ @MrsBu_ Some of you are brain-dead!
I thought your argument, as captured in the original post was that no woman can do all those. Now a woman has said she does them, your concern has shifted to "men" ", husband". Loool

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@a__vanita The problem is you're assuming they handled their responsibilities when they were alone.

All these "pay rent for me", "buy me lunch", "change my phone", "sub for me". Don't you see that they're living on subsidies?

Oh you no go understand, na men dem dey tell those things.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@SirLeoBDasilva Baba, just stick to giving us updates about the shege wey Range Rover don show you. Leave AC.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@Thepancakebaby It's so shameful that Nigerians know close to nothing about how the world works.

Yet we're so loud and hardly open to unlearning all that has been coded into our minds by our oppressors that we usually love to call for help.

[Spider Naij @NaijSpider]

@bigbrovar Thanks for all you do man.
I don learn more about solar power systems from you than any other source.

Thanks
