The same people telling Nigerians to endure their harsh policies are living lavishly, they are not even ready to make any adjustment or lead by example

Plato once said "The disadvantage of not engaging in politics is that, you will end up being ruled by your inferior"


Enough of the wailing, we should find our way into this very class


Everyday Wailing has no reward. the train if you can

For those criticising this move,ask yourself whether you prefer the president and his aides to ride on a danfo bus instead of bulletproof vehicles.

It cost alot buying and maintaining them,if you must criticize pls do that with sense.

Not a Tinubu fan.

Food for the boys.

Buying and replacing same items year in year out.

...and when they're going, they'll auction the vehicles to themselves at a ridiculously low price.

I sha know none of you will take these wealth out of this world.

Why we they not sing on your mandate and they will ask citizens to bear with T-Pain.

The have money to buy fuel guzzling SUV’s but they cannot feed the poor.

Hmmmmm

People don't understand how expensive it is to maintain luxury cars.
My baby-mama complained about one of her tyres few weeks ago. I called one of my boys to go pick the car and change the 4. I ended up spending N1. 4m on those tyres and it's a medium luxury saloon car. I don't know what that of the likes of Maybach S-class and the new Sub-Urban ESV the president uses would cost. One of his own may cost as much as 5m because they are bullet proof run-flats.....

If the presidents convoy stops on the road to change tyre na the same people wer dey complain go still insult am...

No car in the presidential convoy should run without run-flats

Rum-flats are expensive.

Lol

Give tinubu 1 billion years.


Na still lol.

Meanwhile, they are planning to borrow to fund all these useless luxurious lifestyles they are living.

Okay

Nigerian army and Nigerian elders, have you all seen what you have caused. These politicians are nothing to deal with if we have Men of integrity in our security system.

We seriously need a coup against the reckless spending of these thieves... I can't wait for a Military take over since democracy isn't helping Nigerians... So far, it's been thieves governing us and even when we voted the right Man, they killed him, they also rigged election.

The solution is to gather them all and blow them up or Military take over... I wish we can have someone like Abacha again.

My people the truth is hunger and pain are not felt same. These people never know the level of hunger in the country because of our suffering and smiling behaviour. Just imagine what happened in Ibadan the stampede that leads to over 30 children death. So painful and saddened at the lost of the innocent children. Until we rise up and stop these people they will never stop. This kind democracy is just enriching few and putting millions in hunger. Prayer have failed us what we need is action. Many developed countries doesn't even practice our kind religions yet better but Nigeria just carry religion for head and have bad behaviours. COVID 19 era proved to us that we can survive without going to mosque and church. WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE.

They Need it

Probably too late!

No.

The likes of OP will not be happy until they see Tinubu riding KEKE to work.

Even then they might say the keke is too expensive, that he should walk.

😂 😂 😂 I laugh at Nigeria.

Who told you that this country will be better?
Even if a host of Angels cone down to rule it they will all be corrupt.

The day Nigeria will be better is when God blesses you and you lack nothing, I mean absolutely nothing.

You can pay for police escort, soldiers guarding your gates and compound and your family 😂 In your entire family, Nigeria is great!
