Pastor Emeka Okala, Your Dumb Home Boy Called Jonathan Badluck Is The Cause Of Insecurity In Nigeria Today: Re: This is heartbreaking and urgent.

[Kayode Adebayo]

Pastor Emeka Okala:

Your dumb home boy called Jonathan Badluck is the cause of the gargantuan insecurity Nigeria is facing today. I tried to help him and his National Security Adviser called Azazi during his administration, but he was too much into himself. Instead of implementing my strategies, he was drinking Kaikai at Aso Rock. I warned him and Azazi severally that time was of essence. That if he failed to implement them, Nigeria would be dealing with gargantuan insecurity for a very long time, way pass his administration. Instead of implementing them, he lied to Nigerians he was on top of the situation, while having parties at Aso Rock every weekend. And there you have everything I said would happen happening uncontrollably till today.

Unfortunately, you don't know that.

Jonathan Badluck is a shame and an utter disgrace to Nigeria.

This is heartbreaking and urgent.

A student from University of Jos, JOHN ARUM has been kidnapped while traveling to Kaduna. A disturbing video was recorded with his own phone and sent to his school WhatsApp group chat. Since then, there has been no clear contact with his family, and we don’t even know if they are aware yet.

The kidnappers are demanding ₦30 million.

Worse still, from what we saw in the video, he is going through serious torture and abuse. This is inhumane. No one deserves to be treated like this.

Reports indicate he was kidnapped by Fulani criminals. This is why the government must act decisively to get rid of criminal networks terrorizing innocent Nigerians, regardless of who they are.

This is not just a story this is someone we know. Someone we attend classes with. Someone whose life is now in danger.

We are calling on everyone to help share this information across platforms so it can reach his family and the appropriate authorities quickly. Time is critical.

Please don’t ignore this.
Share it.
Raise awareness.

Let’s do everything we can to help bring John back safely.

"Your dumb home boy called Jonathan Badluck [Goodluck] is the cause of the gargantuan insecurity Nigeria is facing today."  -  Kayode Adebayo

Comment:

Kayode Adebayo,

By my assessment, Goodluck Jonathan has NEVER been and WILL NOT be a good material for PRESIDENT in a country like Nigeria. I have never been his fan and will not be. But to say that "he is the cause of the gargantuan insecurity Nigeria is facing today" is a huge lie from the pit of hell. It's a blatant lie in broad daylight aimed at making someone a cannon-fodder so their principal could be absolved from a legitimate blame that is due him. That's an evil gimmick and it will not stand!

In his twilight days as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I still recollect watching Goodluck Jonathan in military fatigue at the war front somewhere in Bornu State, literally encouraging the combatant soldiers with a chant, "Never Again! NEVER AGAIN!!" He lifted the morale and the spirits of the fighting soldiers, even at the risk of his own life. Such a leader cannot be easily dismissed as one who caused "the gargantuan insecurity in Nigeria today".

I can rightly say that had Buhari not won the subsequent election and the baton of leadership inevitably changed hand, the current insecurity problem in Nigeria would have either been a thing of the past or in the worst case scenario reduced to the barest minimum with Goodluck Jonathan at the helm,

No sooner had Muhammadu Buhari taken over power than he torpedoed the Jonathan's concrete plan in this area. He brazenly sabotaged what he found on ground by granting ridiculously senseless amnesty to the convicted bandits and insurgents serving their just punishment in prison, and, deployed them into the country's regular forces in their hundreds as repentant-criminals. Who does that? The so-called repentant-criminals turned around in the battle fronts and sabotaged with reckless abandon, the strategies of the soldiers, nay the military and, we lost and are still losing our combatant officers like chickens.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made it very clear in no ambiguous terms that he is Buhari and that going against Buhari's policies means going against himself. So, he continues religiously and without qualm with the rots that Buhari has heartless left behind.

You can't deny knowing this trajectory in the current history of insurgency in Nigeria, yet you heartlessly blame Goodluck Jonathan for the crimes of Buhari and Tinubu. What a travesty of judgement!! Lord have mercy.

Pastor Emeka Okala:

Let me refresh your terrible memory:

1. Jonathan Badluck incubated Boko Haram in Nigeria

2. Jonathan Badluck incubated Fulani Herders in Nigeria. The Fulani Herders even coronated him inside Aso Rock as their Grand Patron.

3. Jonathan Badluck incubated MEND (your creek terrorists) in Nigeria 

4. Jonathan Badluck incubated Banditry in Nigeria 

5. Jonathan Badluck incubated Cultism in in Nigeria

6. Jonathan Badluck incubated Kidnapping in Nigeria 

7. Jonathan Badluck incubated IPOB terrorism in Nigeria 

That's why I renamed him Jonathan Badluck due to his bad administration. Jonathan Badluck brought bad luck to Nigeria and Nigeria hasn't been the same ever since. 

I helped his administration identify Boko Haram as a terrorist organization and not a religious group his administration thought they were. It took 6 months for Azazi to finally admitted they were a terrorist group and not a religious group spreading Islam in Northern Nigeria that they thought. 

I sent Jonathan Badluck and his NSA called Azazi a 36 point strategy to annihilate Boko Haram, MEND and insecurity in Nigeria before Azazi died in a plane crash, warning them that time was of essence. That if they failed to eliminate them when they were still in their Borno enclave, they would disperse to other parts of the North and eventually other parts of Nigeria and Nigeria would be dealing with terrorism and insecurity past his administration and Nigeria is still dealing with terrorism till today, just like I predicted.

I told Ambassador Joe Keshi the same thing when he was still active in these forums, defending him like you are doing. I copied him my 36 point strategy during our discussion and he was shocked what I predicted would happen eventually happened as Boko Haram evaded the Nigerian troops and spread to other parts of the North like I warned and the rest is history today.

Unfortunately, you don't know that. Jonathan Badluck is the worst president Nigeria ever had. He not only incubated terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria, he ran Nigeria's economy to the ground.

That idiot is always ranting to himself and with each passing moment, continues to expose the depth of his dementia driven degeneracy. 

Left to people like him, Tinubu will lose the 2027 election. 

In 2014/2015, Nigeria's GDP growth was averaging 6% yearly. Today we are literally begging the IMF and the World Bank to give us a 4% performance window. 

Jonathan did not fight, kill or maim anyone to acquire power. 

He left power just the same way power came to him. He appointed complete strangers to run INEC and execute free and fair elections. 

Jonathan left office with a single digit inflation at 8%. Today, we are struggling at 15%.

The World Bank says Nigeria's poverty level is at 63%. There was a time Amaechi quarreled with Okonjo Iweala over 30% poverty numbers. 

The state of insecurity is something that I will rather keep quiet about. It is baffling. 

Who would have expected that Kebbi State, Niger State, Katsina state and a few others would be consumed by Boko Haram?

Fact is, Nigeria needs this democratic experience so that Nigerians will be wiser. 

The El Rufai who spinned tales with varying degrees of sophistry during the Jonathan days is today locked up in Kuje Prison. 

The Nation is currently in a season of great unraveling. 

It is impossible to eat your cake and still have it.

GK,

So summarily, we should call back Jonathan and Okonjo-Iweala?

What is wrong with you and your like?

You pluck figures and flaunt it without context.

What was the global average of GDP growth, Inflation rate etc at the time you're comparing and now?

Is Nigeria economy isolated from the world around it? BTW, Nigerian inflation rate has never been single digit for decades, and definitely not during Jonathan's era.

Performance is compared with countries with similar attributes and cannot be isolated. If the world economy is on a downturn, all countries will experience such. Statistically, what you will compare is the variance with the average of similar countries.

You guys just use statistics as a standalone yardstick without a yardstick. It ain't like that at all!

It’s amazing how every one of IPOB is capable and will lie bold face. Do they always believe that other people are stupid and would therefore just accept their lies? Just asking 

Something is definitely not right upstairs with those IPOB. The same way they lied to themselves that they can take over the rest of the country because they falsely believe that they’re superior to the rest of the citizens, started a war and got a good number of themselves killed. 

They lie so much to the point of doing stuff that is usually extremely detrimental to themselves and sometimes with fatal or deadly ending. 

Look at the deeply bad political conditions that they created for themselves. It’s extremely difficult for them, will be like that for a long time, to build a winning political coalition because of their history. Look at what they did to the people of south south that initially went with them during the civil war. 

Look at their history of how they treated others when in control of things - e.g. under GEJ administration and other times. 

Look at how they are acting towards the people that have always welcomed them in their land. 

Look at the sit at home Monday grand master plan decision of theirs - always doing crazy stuff to themselves because of their hatred for others. Something is definitely ain’t right upstairs with those IPOB.

You aren't seen nothing yet, GK! Femi Olajide can be stupid to the absolute whenever he donned Yoruba tribal hat; that is when he articulates childishly, thoughtlessly, turns logic upside down, and even impeaches his own argument by exhibiting every intellectual confusion that any finely educated person shouldn't be caught exhibiting. Ironically, on matters devoid of Yoruba tribalism, he holds his intellectual tuff solidly, even though he is not a rocket scientist by default. 

I cannot understand how Yoruba tribalism blinds some people to the abject failure, thievery, and spindrift/flamboyancy of the Tinubu presidency. The only saving grace on this is that not all Yorubas are this blind, lots of Yorubas are critics of this leadership of Tinubu's that has become the worst in Nigeria. To say that I have been disappointed in Femi Olajide would be saying the obvious.

GK,

You're a very stupid man.

You made me go out of my way to provide you these authentic information.

Is it NOI or Edun the issue here?


Nigeria’s annual inflation rate rose slightly to 15.38% in March 2026 from 15.06% in February, ending an 11-month disinflation trend. Food inflation, the largest component of the inflation basket, accelerated for a second month to 14.31% from 12.12%, while transport prices rose even more sharply, up 16.9% from 14.7% in February. The Middle East crisis has triggered a sharp increase in domestic fuel costs. Prices also increased significantly for miscellaneous goods & services (24.5% vs 21.2%), but slowed for some categories, notably housing & utilities (10.2% sv 18.8%), alcoholic beverages & tobacco (4.5% vs 9.4%) and clothing & footwear (8.5% vs 16.1%). The core inflation rate, which strips out the volatile prices of agricultural produce and energy, quickened to 16.21% in March from 15.88% in February. On a monthly basis, prices climbed by 4.2%, marking the steepest increase since January 2025, largely driven by transportation costs (4% vs -0.3%).

And stupid GK, I did not even bother to provide inflation trend over 10years or try to compare with a similar country.

Too blood-related stupid fools is not particularly an aberration as the acorn does not fall far from the acorn tree.

Now to get to the nitty gritty of issues, yes, Nigeria's inflation rate in circa 2014/2015 hovered around 8% and 9%. As I earlier pointed out to your dumb assess, you cannot look at any country in isolation on the globalworld which all economies dwell in. Comparable economies like south Africa, Egypt etc were hovering at an average of 4.4%.

What has your silly dumb asses have to say about that?

You failed to acknowledge the 11-month deflation in 2025 under the present government, yet trying to exaggerate performance under the dumb and shoeless government of Jonathan.

You can keep reminiscing and romanticizing with Jonathan government for all you like, Nigeria never had a direction under his government and GEJ will be the very first person to admit it himself.

Nigeria federal government has never been under any clearly focused and economically aware government since independence bar none.

Listen, I was never a Tinubu fan, but day by day, he and his government had shown the building of the economy on a solid rock foundation as against the loamy soil that all preceding governments have thrived on.

You all want Nigeria to become a western economy overnight, but yet you do not want to the price for it.

You dumb asses(Nebu & GK) should listen and listen good. The mantra, No Pain No Gain, still hold very true today.
Ask all the western and recently prosperous Asian tiger countries, they will tell you what they went through during their pain period.

Tinubu’s loan requests exceed $30bn after fresh $516m highway financing bid

24 April 2026 3:15 am WAT

By Rapheal

President Bola Tinubu

• As N7.65trn imports, FG interventions fail to ease surge in food prices

 

By Chinwendu Obienyi

  

President Bola Tinubu has sought Senate approval for a fresh $516.3 million external loan, pushing total borrowing requests under his administration beyond $30 billion. The move is intensifying concerns over Nigeria’s rising debt profile and its limited impact on economic stability.

The latest request, read on the floor of the Senate by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, is aimed at financing sections of the proposed Sokoto–Badagry superhighway, a 1,000-kilometre project designed to link key commercial corridors from the North-West to the South-West.

According to the request, the facility, to be arranged by Deutsche Bank AG, is expected to support early phases of construction, with additional backing from the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit.

While the government has framed the project as critical infrastructure under its Renewed Hope Agenda, analysts say the broader pattern of borrowing reflects deeper fiscal challenges.

Since assuming office in 2023, Tinubu has repeatedly turned to both domestic and external markets to bridge budget deficits, with cumulative loan requests now estimated at over $30 billion, alongside more than N1 trillion in domestic borrowing plans.

Commenting on the latest development, economic experts warn that the pace of borrowing could worsen Nigeria’s already fragile debt sustainability metrics. With government revenue underperforming, a significant share of earnings is already being used to service existing obligations, leaving limited room for developmental spending.

Furthermore, citizens are of the opinion that there is little progress. According to them, taking a $516 million loan for a road while the common man struggles is heartbreaking.

A development enthusiast named Sankara on X (formerly twitter) asked, “Is this country so broke that every èke market day, a request to borrow from somewhere must be submitted to the ‘elementary’ National Assembly?

What is happening to the humongous declaration of revenue generated or the already collected loans?”

Head, Research at FSL Securities, Chiazor Victor said, “The concern is not just the borrowing itself, but the capacity to repay without crowding out essential sectors.

Other News

• Tinubu hails 2026 African Spelling Bee champion
• Senate passes amendments to Pension, Health bills
• Tinubu hails Nigeria’s 91.45% ICAO safety rating, tops regional and global averages

The risks are particularly pronounced for foreign loans, which are denominated in dollars. Continued volatility in the naira could significantly raise repayment costs, especially as Nigeria’s foreign exchange (FX) earnings remain heavily dependent on oil exports”.

The growing debt burden comes at a time when government spending has yet to deliver meaningful relief to households. Despite a surge in food imports and multiple fiscal interventions, food prices remain elevated across the country, highlighting a disconnect between policy measures and real economic outcomes.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) show that food and beverage imports rose sharply from N3.83 trillion in 2023 to N6.58 trillion in 2024, reaching N7.65 trillion in 2025. This increase has been driven in part by government efforts to stabilise supply through importation, including a temporary zero-duty policy on selected food items.

However, these measures have had limited success in easing price pressures. Food inflation, while moderating from peak levels of over 40 per cent in 2024, still stood at 14.31 per cent year-on-year (y/y) as of March 2026, contributing significantly to overall inflation of about 15.38 per cent.

In parallel, direct fiscal interventions have also expanded. Government spending on food palliatives reached N9.74 billion in 2024, following an earlier N185 billion intervention in 2023 to support the distribution of grains across states. Yet, market surveys indicate that affordability remains a major challenge for households, particularly in urban centres.

Victor argued that the persistence of high food prices despite rising public expenditure points to structural inefficiencies in the economy, including supply chain constraints, insecurity in farming regions, and currency weakness. “Importing food is a short-term fix, but it does not address the underlying productivity issues in agriculture”, he said.

Chief Executive Officer, Cowry Asset Management Ltd, Johnson Chukwu warned that Nigeria’s rising borrowing could swell external debt by over 50 per cent, cautioning that loans must be efficiently deployed or risk becoming a fiscal burden.

“I have said this before, borrowing is not inherently bad. What is important is if the money borrowed is used to address the problem.

If borrowed funds are invested in assets that generate value higher than the value of the loan, then it is worth it,” he said.

He urged the government to prioritise partnerships with the private sector for infrastructure projects to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and ensure better value for money.

For investors, the combination of rising debt and weak transmission of fiscal policy raises concerns about Nigeria’s medium-term outlook. Higher borrowing levels could increase the country’s risk profile, potentially leading to more expensive financing in the future.

As the Senate considers the latest loan request, attention is likely to focus not just on the viability of the Sokoto–Badagry project, but on the broader question of how effectively borrowed funds are being deployed.

For now, the trajectory suggests a government balancing urgent infrastructure needs against tightening fiscal constraints, an approach that economists say will require careful management to avoid long-term macroeconomic strain.

You're a buffoon who doesn't understand a thing about how economics or the statistics used to it explain it works.

Discussing with you is just like speaking to a blind, deaf and dumb individual who wants to teach you from what he heard to show you the road. That's bound to head in disaster.

I beg go back to your bar talk with your nonentities that you roll with.

You're well below my paygrade in intellectual discussion.

Regards,

Femi Olajide

GK,

Is number dumbo. The single digit inflation achieved then was because government was subsidizing everything.

What GK doesn't understand about a good economy is that you never subsidize consumption, but you can subsidize production.

GEJ was subsidizing consumption and the GKs of these world who do not understand how economies work, didn't understand that they were consuming their future with their present during GEJ.

The GKs and GEJs of these world did not and still doesn't understand that what you sow is what you reap. No Pain No Gain!

Femi Olajide is not just exceptional stupid, he is also unaware that his stupidity is so turn offish to me that I blocked his email address, so as to not read his childish and mentally retard-like defense of Tinubu and his crookedly acquired presidency. Not only don't I see his child-like vituperations, except under the circumstances of GK responding to him while reproducing his crap, I have also stopped dignifying thoughtless utterances since I returned from Nigeria last year. Were Fenni Olajide not mildly mentally retarded, he would have known that under no circumstances would I have dignified his idiotic comment about the Jonathan presidency with a response; Jonathan had a presidency that was excellent relative to the colossal failure that has been the Tinubu presidency; 95% of Nigerians today would choose president Jonathan's era over Tinubu's in a heart beat. 

Granted that the Deranged Ape can be dumb in spreading falsehoods, at least he does so on purpose just to get on someone's nerves, not because he is too stupid to fabricate an incredible lie that Nebu confessed to being blood related to GK. Where did I make such a confession, can you excerpt me, you accursed son of Lawrence Anini, or stand registered the stupidest creature on these dying forums? I am from Owere (paternal side) and Mbaise (maternal side) in Imo state, how could I be blood-related to GK of Kalabari in Rivers state since no intermarriage occurred between his family and mine? I would be proud if GK and I were blood related since he has always been brilliant and respectful in all the years he has been on these forums, but my objection is not being related to him, rather your stupid lie that I stated that he and I are related. GK and I are not related and I never stated to the contrary anywhere, you dumb Ishan he-goat that goes by Femi Olajide, a Yoruba wannabe punk.

Ahmed Bola Tinubu runs Nigeria recklessly like a thieving sociopath; Nigeria has never had a worse leader/worse economic disastrous state than Tinubu and his regime, therefore those of you who insult the Nigerian people by using stupid lies to excusing Tinubu's failure are as thieving and sociopathic as Tinubu. If Nigeria is the heaven you tout, why are you still pirating in the Docklands, why not go back to Nigeria, you thoughtless beast. "No pains, no gain" is a sociopathic utterance, especially since the two concepts don't always go hand in hand; it is an illiteracy-induced saying that only sociopaths, in the likes of Idi Ami, Mobutu Sese Seko, Francois Nguema, Jean Bedel Bokassa, Pol Pot, etc. would enact austere economic measures for the citizens of his country but only to live extravagantly with his family/a few members of his administration. The extravagancy was too out of control that his Minister of Finance allegedly wouldn't keep going along with most of his demands, leading to his removal from office of two days ago. Shame on you, Femi Olajide, for being retarded and not knowing so, and for siding with thievery, idiocy, and sociopathy.

I didn't even know that this moron was also English language challenged. I had to reread what I posted that this bum interpreted as Nebu and GK being blood relatives, and this was what I saw: 

>>It is a relief to now find out that a gentleman (relative to Nebu) George Kerley is as human as Nebu -- as to be irritated by Femi Olajide who exhibits absolute stupidity whenever he masquerades as a Yoruba!<< (Nebu) 

Relative to Nebu simply means that GK is a gentleman when compared to Nebu or when his ways are narrowed down to Nebu's ways, why would an educated person above high school not understand this? Femi Olajide's interpretation of this sentence is worse than Senator Bakin Zuwo's naming of fanta, sprite, and coca cola as some of the mineral resources found in Kano state in 1983. Femi Olajide is worse than Patience Jonathan who he and his fellow dumb ass, dwarf of lower Eastside Tajudeen Raju, were stupidly making fun of yesterday with fabricated silly stories.

Tufiakwa!

Demented Son Of A Rumuji Hooker Who Failed Economics Called George Kerley:

Visiting Africans say cost of living in Nigeria lower than in their countries

Daily Post 

Africans from Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon and Gabon returning home after spending over a week in Calabar for a religious festival have said the cost of living in Nigeria is far lower compared to what obtains in their respective countries.

The visitors were in Calabar alongside other foreign nationals for weeklong spiritual activities organised by the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.

Beyond participating in the spiritual activities during their stay in Calabar, many of them also visited local markets, malls and social spots where they bought goods for personal use and commercial purposes.

A Ghanaian visitor, Jacklyn Asare, said Nigerians often underestimate the economic advantage they enjoy despite complaints about the high cost of living.

“I now understand why many Nigerians keep complaining about their government and the economy. Perhaps it is because of the country’s huge population, which contributes to the pressure on living costs,” she said.

“But honestly, things are far cheaper in Nigeria than in my country and even in many other West African countries.

“I regularly travel to Lagos, Onitsha and Aba to buy goods, and sometimes I place orders from Ghana in smaller quantities.”

She explained that after reselling the products in Ghana, the profit margin is usually significant, noting that one Ghanaian cedi currently exchanges for over N82, which boosts returns for traders.

According to her, many Nigerian traders who export goods to Ghana have become wealthy because Nigerian products are cheaper and highly marketable across West Africa.

She added that the national minimum wage earned by many Nigerians would barely buy a single major household item in Ghana.

Asare also noted that petrol in Ghana currently sells for over GH¢15.77 per litre, which is equivalent to about N1,900 per litre when converted to naira.

A Liberian visitor, Samuel Ator, supported her position, saying he visits Nigeria at least once a year and often buys goods through his daughters who live in Calabar and Lagos.

“Nigerian goods are everywhere in West Africa because they are affordable and of good quality. Sometimes my daughters help me buy and send items to Liberia,” he said.

A Cameroonian clergyman, Oru Denis, who visits Calabar at least once every two months, said he often comes with affordable devices to sell in Nigeria and returns with Nigerian goods for resale in Mamfe, Cameroon.

“After converting CFA to naira, I can buy more goods here at cheaper rates. The profits are often worthwhile,” he said.

Similarly, Orji Igwe, who lives in Gabon, said he used his visit to Calabar to purchase food items such as afang and editan vegetables, as well as other made-in-Nigeria products for sale back home.

He said the business remains profitable depending on the quantity of goods he is able to transport.

So Femi, all this insult is because we disagreed on economic policy? 

Issokay. I think I still like you small sha. 

It is well.

[Nebukadineze Adiele]

GK, 

Be careful to not capitulate to these dumb Bantus simply because they float fake figures that they don't understand or they reel out senseless and dishonest cliches, most of which they googled but did not understand. For example, Femi Olajide stupidly claims as follows: 

>>What GK doesn't understand about a good economy is that you never subsidize consumption, but you can subsidize production<<.

Femi's claim above is false and shows that he is an economics ignoramus, contrary to the appearance he has put up on these forums since he showed up. Governments can/do subsidize consumption in order to increase demand, raise equilibrium with no negative impact on productivity, and ensure affordability of goods and services for all, especially for the poor and relatively poor. For example, most governments of the world subsidized vaccine production and food consumption (through vouchers to citizens) during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic for the reasons I mentioned above and it paid off -- it minimized deaths, speeded up the production and availability of enough vaccines, and saved people from starving since most people, especially the very poor, were out of work.

On the other hand, governments can/do subsidize production in order to raise supply, prevent high consumer prices, ward off dependance on importation, etc. There is absolutely nothing that the Tinubu presidency is doing so far to achieving any of these goals since it came to office. To the contrary, he has recklessly removed subsidy on petroleum products without any evidence of the removed subsidy having any positive impact on the economy, but has instead impoverished the citizens by over 400%. There is no evidence that his administration has subsidized production, especially in electric power generation, which would lower costs of production and spur other areas of economic activity and social life in Nigeria. Other than subsidizing road construction, where the contractors are his firms and those of his friend's and family members, most Ministries are starved of funds by the Tinubu presidency. Security apparatuses in Nigeria should be incentivized with subsidy due to the serious security problems in Nigeria, yet Tinubu has not done so but Femi Olajide is stupidly considering this administration as doing anything positive for the Nigerian economy and peoples? He removed backing the naira, something that more stable economies like China, Russia, Brazil, Japan, India, etc. do with their currencies, yet Femi Olajide et al consider this man as loving Nigeria, as opposed to his leading it to the abyss?

On matters of the Tinubu presidency, Femi Olajide and others debate like high school dropouts, so you can never make any headways with them -- they are driven by Yoruba tribalism, even though he and the Deranged Ape are only Yoruba wannabes. If you wish to continue to debate them over Tinubu, you must not give them any room to expressing the type of stupidity and semi-literacy cited above (from Femi Olajide) and getting away away with so doing. The Nigerian economy has been reduced to the ranks of those of South Sudan, Sudan, Eritrea. Somalia, Burundi, and Haiti by the Tinubu presidency. To the contrary, Nigeria was the largest economy in Africa under president Jonathan whom these Yoruba triallists are stupidly abusing. 

There is no debating these idiots, tufiakwa!

GK,

We were having intelligent economic conversation when you fired the first shot with this:

"I don't know whether you are getting dumber by the day or something. If my conversations are way beyond your mental or cognitive grade, why not ignore and find others like you to engage?"

I am of the old school of thought that believes that you dish it out as it is being dished it out to you. Two can play the game. No one has monopoly or exclusivity to nastiness and uncouthness.

You can still be nasty and talk sense, so it seems.

I do not know you personally, so I cannot hate or hate you on a personal level.
For all I know, you may be a pretty good and jolly chap that likes to play the devil's advocate from time to time.

We have agreed on issues before, we disagreed on economic policies of Nigerian governments on this occasion, and we may still agree on other issues in the future. However, if we keep our arguments clean and objective, I'll stick with the format. But, if the format is, as Oga Afis used to say, the roforofo format, I can play that way too!

Take care.

Regards,

Femi Olajide

Calm down Femi. It is well. 

I think I got 'upset' with you disagreed with the single digit inflation rate and GDP numbers. When all I expected you to do was run a back end 'google' or check. 

There were too many conflicting signals on the economy. 

We were the ones who mobilized and campaigned for Tinubu in the South. Especially in Rivers State. 

I voted for Tinubu in Rivers State. I voted for IQ and Emotional Intelligence. And a bit of political toughness. 

So calm down. 

Good thing is that the President is listening. We will continue to make sure that he continues to listen. 

Regards.

capitulate

/kəˈpɪtjʊleɪt/

Capitulate means to cease resisting, surrender, or acquiesce to demands after a struggle, often implying a formal, conditional, or unwilling surrender.

It is well. 

I think it is up to us to share information and interrogate conversations. 

Knowledge and learning is what makes humanity unique. 

BTW I just started a program on Emotional Intelligence. 

You should try it too 😃😃😃
