Is this the change we voted for in 2015, continued in 2019 and reinforced with ebilokan T-Pain in 2023

What aspect of our life has changed for better in the last 10 years?
APC shege everywhere you go, just like the MTN advert.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

It is favouring us in Eko Ile where we are getting free food per se per se.
Stampedes and the risk of getting killed? God is watching over us and His protection is sure.

A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.

Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.

Are they getting petrol to power their operations at the crashed price T-Pain promised?
WTF just dey enter you after 21 months of ebilokan and 10 years of hailing clueless APC shege policies abi?

[quote author=Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video ed on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

The surge in porn viewership and posting/viewing of Tiktok and status videos will definitely reduce.
Content creators too go hear am,unless they adapt to the realities on ground,you cannot post a 50mb content video and expect anyone on 2k per month data plan to it.

Starlink speed up that partnership with Apple, these telcos will learn

Swooper in Chief

LofP:
I came to Nairaland from X to see what people will say or if there ways to mitigate this increase. On an average I use about 20 gig of data for work weekly and sometimes I have to buy both Airtel and MTN.

Things are looking tough moving forward.

I buy 100gb for 20k, it 26,600 approximately 27k for 100gb

PBAT should please do something about this sudden surge in prices of goods,commodities and services.. how do Telcos expect Nigerians to cope with 200% increase in prices of data bundles?. Those with online jobs and even SMEs who depend on data won't find it funny atal.
Soon you'll have to pay #150 to get #100 airtime on your line. This is not good atal, Government should sit up and look into this matter else Nigerians won't continue with APC in 2027.
This is part of the reason for high crime rates across the country when people have nothing left to feed on.

The worst of it is that after all the lamentation here about the increment ...... No single soul in Government will see this / the so-called Telco company

YoungLionken:
Some of you still don't know that APCheat is worse than a curse to Nigerians...

Country continues to produce nothing, innovate nothing and export nothing.
Why won't things be harder?
The Government is not technology focused.
The Government is not Art focused.
They're not exporting anything, doing anything to make investors come here.
People just go to school to exams and run away, not to create or develop anything.
It will continue to get worse.

Me I would like to live on my piece of land, create my own power, farm my food, defend my land,
and cut of from the f***ing rest of Nigeria.
Abi. What again remains?

This is actually good at least some tribal bigots here wont be able to afford data to spill trash.

Wow that’s not right.

Thank God agbadorians still the buy at the same price. Ode people

The legacy of balablu

dangermouse:
Why senskr the networks involved? Does not make any sense at all.

They declare obscene profits every year as if that is not enough for them. This is nothing but greed and callousness.

The citizens needs to know which network providers are doing this and maybe boycott them.

All are doing it
Boycott all and return back to your cave era

mumu man. What's stopping the others from increasing theirs too? Even market women don't compete, they fix prices

Nigeria is about the only country where prices get increased anyhow and anytime without the masses doing anything, in some clime a little increment in the price of any essential commodity receives corresponding reaction from the people, but in Nigeria we all grumbly accept everything which is why our leaders are taking us for granted.

Where are comedic motivational speakers ... if you cant afford data .. off your phone n sleep
Increment right, left and centre... no single improvement recorded

By 2027 if we dont have sense, then Nigerians are created to suffer

Proudlyngwa:

So an entrepreneur having put all his indices together and saw that this is the best way to move his organisation forward, people with no investment in it whatsoever are lamenting.

If it is easy, open your own telecommunications company and do giveaway data.

A country that only knows how to watch, tiktok, Instagram and pornhub.

Ask them what they have been using data to do, they can't prove any meaningful thing.

Good overdue move from the telecommunications sector.

Now it's up to NCC to sanction them for Thier shitty service disruption

STFU awuuuuu

I trust Nigerians. They'll adapt. It's just a matter of two months later.

Starzo:
Una better boycott

Only them go reverse am

Wailing on the Internet will change nothing

Well said "will never change nothing”

You are right. The increase is across board and relative as well. However, these platforms provide slightly cheaper prices compared to what you will get from banks and USSD.

LofP:


The prices for the larger data bundles have also increased, so expect adjustments in price.
