Peter Obi -Yusuf Datti Vanguard

I told everyone who cared to listen that Bola Tinubu, like Muhammadu Buhari, was given one set of policy directives by the American interests that put him in A*o Rock: Severely reduce the value of Nigerian wealth, and curtail local purchasing power; pauperise Nigeria's middle classes who can then be picked off as cheap immigrant labour by the US and its NATO allies (this part of the manifesto actually appeared in print in a major western daily newspaper); reduce the size and influence of Nigeria's economy in Africa; ensure Nigeria's industrial capacity does not grow, and make energy for local industrial production as expensive and inaccessible as possible; stonewall any new infrastructure agreements with the Chinese government, thus ensuring that Nigeria largely fails to benefit from the time-limited, once-in-a-century economic opportunity that is the Belt and Road Initiative; and drastically reduce the size of the existing economic partnership with China (naira-yuan swap deal goes into the dustbin - ensure that import bill settlement remains dollar-denominated even though that makes no economic sense for Nigeria).

Since the US puppets were successfully installed in 2015, Nigeria - a developing economy - has not started a SINGLE major economic infrastructure project. That is 9 years without any meaningful attempt to grow the economy - not even a road (except you count that Lekki Coastal Road thing that directly benefits the new US Embassy site on Eko Atlantic). EVERY SINGLE federal infrastructure project that has been commissioned since 2015 was started by Goodluck Jonathan: 2nd Niger Bridge, Lagos - Ibadan SGR, Abuja - Kaduna SGR, MMA Terminal 2 - all GEJ projects!

8 years of Buhari and 17 months of Tinubu have not yielded ONE infrastructure project that can grow an economy.

What have had in 114 months of the American puppet show is an engineered currency crisis that has reduced our purchasing power by ONE THOUSAND PERCENT; the loss of 50% of our national economy, which went from a GDP of $568bn to $258bn; a huge spike in dollar-denominated foreign debt - most of which we actually did not need, and is now a millstone around our collective neck; an exponential increase in terrorism and population displacement that pushed us into the world's top 3 countries for conflict death, and made Nigeria statistically the most deadly country in the world to be a Christian; and a generational loss of middle class professional talent to the US and its allies in Canada, Western Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

,200 per litre, fuel still sales cheap in Nigeria.......IMF

Just like a joke, Tinubu, who doubles as the Petroleum Minister, has succeeded in taking fuel from N185 (as at May 2023), to N1,200 per litre, just in one yr, while Nigerians appear helpless and confused. Everyone is busy blaming NNPC.

Despite how clueless, corrupt and heartless Buhari was, he still had some semblance of compassion left in him. In 8yrs under his watch, fuel didn't get up to N200.
But in the contrary, it appears the word COMPASSION never exists where Tinubu is concerned. The rate at which he's going, Nigerians should brace up to pay as much as N5000 per litre of fuel after Tinubu's 8yrs reign.

Some may see it as an impossibility or a beer parlor prediction, but the truth is that Tinubu doesn't give a hoot if you drop dead.

RENEWED HOPE!

Whether we accept it or not, Nigeria is a conquered state. Our sovereignty, freedom and independence are merely on paper. In reality, we're far from being a free people. Just because we've chosen to live in self denial doesn't make us a free people.

The Western world has used the WORST AMONGST us to anihilate, impoverish and strangulate us. Yet, we can't cough, let alone complain. If you dare complain, you're either gunned down or charged for treason and terrorism and locked up for life. So where is the freedom?

All the mineral resources God used to bless us as a people, have been turned to a curse on us. What is supposed to benefit us, now hurts us. Where is the freedom?

A people who get a complete opposite of what they ask from their government is what we are.

A government that has turned its eyes away from terrorists and known terrorists sponsors, but instead unleashed its entire strength and venom on innocent citizens who're fed up with the anti-people system and dared to voice out their resentment.

The KEY TO FREEDOM is the ability of a people to freely and fearlessly express their resentment of a bad system, force the govt to listen to the voice of the people or chase the bad govt away. That was how the military was chased away to usher in democracy in Nigeria. That was how many free and prosperous nations of the world today achieved their freedom.

However, we have always hoped that one day, things would miraculously get better.....but how? Freedom is far from us.

Even @1000 Naira per litre, yet Nigerians can't see the fuel to buy.

Unknown to many, Tinubu is already strategizing for 2027. The public cries for HUNGER and HARDSHIP doesn't move him. His heart is made of stone, once it has to do with the welfare and wellbeing of Nigerians. If everybody in the country dies of hunger, he'll gladly rule over the animals on the land and the birds in the sky. The only thing that matters is that he must remain in A*o Villa beyond 2027.

"Nobody Steals Power To Benefit The People"....Dele Farotimi

Nigerians should get that clear

Tinubu's govt to spend N6.8 trillion in payment of fuel subsidy, between August 2023 to Dec 2024, the highest ever in the subsidy history of Nigeria.... Business Day

Economic Hardship: A group of Police Officers Hit the Streets in Protests.

A group of police officers, known as the Concerned Police Inspectors in Nigeria (CPIN), held a peaceful protest in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, due to the non-payment of 11 months’ salary arrears.
The officers marched to the Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) to voice their concerns.

The leader of the delegation, who spoke in anonymity, said: “Our crime-fighting morale has been dampened by the lack of commitment to our welfare by the police authorities.”

The officers, who were promoted from Inspector II to Inspector I, amount to over 1,500 personnel from various police formations across the state.

Copies of their appeal were also sent to the Presidency, the National Assembly, and the Police Service Commission (PSC).

The letter, addressed to the IGP, reads in part: “We are over 1,500 personnel of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Akwa Ibom Command, promoted from Inspector II to Inspector I, by the IGP effective from September 10, 2023, with a signal dated March 21, 2024.

“Till date, we are still collecting old salaries as junior Inspectors instead of senior Inspectors since the IGP gave us the confirmation letters. So, we have nowhere to run to than to the federal government which is our employer.”

“We can no longer feed our families or pay their bills due to the high cost of essential items in the market.

“It’s difficult to believe that after being celebrated with our families for being elevated to another level, the IGP is deliberately short-paying us for 11 months now, and by calculation, the shortfall is over N550,000 each,” they lamented.

They urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to step in and secure the payment of their salary arrears, stressing that it is essential for their survival given the current harsh economic conditions in the country.

"Fellow citizens, it is glaringly pellucid that Many of us are ensnared in the dolorous sabbulonarium of hunger and lack. Still we must continue to quomodocunquize and to hold our taradiddling politicians to the crucible of accountability. I say to you ---- non possumus deficere"


Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon new album.

After the just concluded protests on the 10th of August, two major events took place in a very quick succession.

Firstly, the president summoned an emergency Council of States meeting (though only Buhari and Jonathan were in attendance)

Secondly, the house of reps introduced a bill, proposing a 25-year-jail term for anyone who engages in any act capable of threatening the sovereignty of Nigeria, and insults or harasses a politician.

Starting from the first. When Baba summoned the meeting, someone suggested that he wanted to yield to some of the demands of the protesters. But I laughed. I told him far from that. Tinubu won't do any such thing.

The major reason for those two hasty actions was not really the protests, not the demands of Nigerians during the protests, not because of the untold hardship and hunger pervading the land, nor was it because of the unarmed innocent protesters who were gunned down by trigger happy security operatives.

Rather, the reason was the hoisting of Russian flags during the protests. Our politicians felt deeply threatened by that singular act. They see Nigeria as their cash Cow and the so called democracy as an SPV (special Purpose Vehicle, in the words of Atiku) to have a quick access to the cash cow. So anything that would threaten the cash cow or the SPV threatens their peace, their wealth, their joy, their life, their existence and their dynasty. So they must do everything humanly possible to protect their dynasty, their only means of survival.

The president needed to hear from other past heads of state, to be reassured that "water never pass garri", that he was still in charge and that there was no plans anywhere to forcefully take away their dynasty from them. It was on that premise that Buhari, who sold our crude oil upfront and pocketed the money running into trillions of Naira before leaving office, passed a vote of confidence on "Tinubu's economic reforms".

On the introduction of the new bill to jail Nigerians, the reps members and politicians at large, forgot that they've largely compromised the sovereignty of Nigeria in many ways and therefore should all be jailed for 25 years, to test the effectiveness of the bill.

How would you describe a politician who abandoned the educational system of his country and chose to educate his children in a foreign land, abandoned the healthcare system of his country, abandoned the manufacturing companies in his country to conduct his shopping abroad, owns all his investments and estates in foreign countries? Has he not compromised the sovereignty of his home country?

A politician who owns several foreign bank accounts with millions and billions of dollars of stolen wealth in them; a politician who would chose to refine the crude oil extracted from his home country, abroad, instead of building refineries, does not see himself as compromising the sovereignty of his home country.

Rather, he sees a poor, frustrated , hungry and angry Nigerian who chose to show his frustrations in a rather annoying manner, as guilty of compromising the sovereignty of the country. If economic sabotage and endemic corruption are not considered acts of compromising the sovereignty of a state in Nigeria and deserves punitive punishments, then Nigerian politicians are the luckiest in the world.
