city boy is doing his best
the rot was too deep from the last administration so you have to break the bone to set it straight
tinubu is the only one with the chest to do the hard work!
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:12
A broken bone must be set by an orthopedic surgeon. Not a butcher.
The macroeconomic indicators are currently hemorrhaging under his administration.
Good intentions do not excuse absolute fiscal incompetence.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 09:15
omo it is global inflation! america is suffering uk is suffering
you guys just want to hate the man because of politics
give him time to cook
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:19
The UK inflation rate is currently hovering around 3.2 percent.
Nigeria's inflation rate just crossed 33 percent officially and food inflation is at 40 percent.
Please do not compare a papercut to a decapitation.

he removed the subsidy on day one!
that takes absolute liver bro nobody else could do it
he is saving the country trillions that were being stolen
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:27
Removing a vital economic subsidy without a functional mass transit system or domestic refining capacity is not bravery.
It is textbook economic sabotage.
Where exactly are the trillions being saved? I do not see them in our hospitals.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 09:31
dangote refinery is literally starting right now!
port harcourt is coming back online soon
you guys have zero patience and just want to complain
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:35
Dangote is a private monopoly operating for profit. It is not a state achievement.
Furthermore the NNPC refineries have missed exactly seven promised operational deadlines.
Hope is not an economic policy.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 09:39
he built lagos! lagos is the 5th biggest economy in africa
give him 8 years and he will do the exact same thing to the whole country
lagos blueprint is real
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:43
Lagos generates revenue because it is a former federal capital and a coastal port city.
It was not built by magic. It was built by geography and federal investment.
Let us stop mythologizing basic commercial advantage.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 09:47
nah you are just a hater
every tech bro and every bank and every major hustle is in lagos
he created the system that lets people thrive there!
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:51
The so-called "Lagos blueprint" relies heavily on aggressive taxation and informal sector extortion.
Scaling "Agbero economics" to a federal level is exactly why businesses are dying.
Can you refute this?
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 09:55
bro the naira is already bouncing back!
cardoso is clearing the backlog and the dollar was falling last week
the economy is stabilizing
olamide.irl - FOR - 09:59
It bounced from 1900 back to 1300.
That is still an astronomical devaluation from his inauguration day.
Celebrating that recovery is a severe symptom of Stockholm Syndrome.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:03
you just complain complain complain
what is your own solution mr doctor?
he is making the hard choices now so our children can enjoy later
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:07
My solution begins with cutting the cost of governance.
We have the largest cabinet since 1999.
You cannot tell citizens to endure starvation while running a bloated government.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:11
they need those ministers to handle different parts of the economy!
nigeria is too big for just a few people to run
it is called delegation
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:15
We absolutely do not need a Minister of Marine and Blue Economy separate from Transportation.
It is purely job creation for political cronies.
And it is being funded by borrowing.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:19
omo if you hate the country just japa
some of us are staying here to build
city boy is planting seeds and we will reap the harvest
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:23
I am a consultant physician. I stayed to build.
I see the results of your "seeds" in my ward every day.
Malnutrition is rising and patients cannot afford basic antibiotics. Are these the seeds?
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:27
that is the fault of the greedy marketers hiding goods!
the president is not the one putting price tags on rice in the market!
blame your fellow nigerians
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:31
Market prices are dictated by diesel costs for logistics and FX rates for imported goods.
Both of those factors are directly controlled by federal monetary policy.
The government is responsible.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:35
he is fighting the cabal!
the forex speculators are the ones fighting back because he is taking down the mafia
corruption is fighting back
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:39
He created the perfect environment for speculation.
You cannot float a currency when you have zero foreign reserves to defend it.
It was a textbook economic blunder. Not a fight against a cabal.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:43
nobody expected the backlash to be this hard
but minimum wage is about to go up! he is listening to the labor unions
the working class will smile
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:47
Increasing the minimum wage while a bag of rice costs more than the proposed wage mathematically solves nothing.
Real purchasing power has been completely decimated.
A higher number of worthless notes is not wealth.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:51
bro everything takes time!
china didn't become a superpower in one day and singapore took decades
you guys are just too impatient for greatness
olamide.irl - FOR - 10:55
Lee Kuan Yew built Singapore through absolute meritocracy and zero tolerance for corruption.
We just bought 160 million Naira SUVs for lawmakers during a cost of living crisis.
The parallel is insulting to history.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 10:59
that was the national assembly!
the president cannot dictate to the legislative arm
it is called separation of powers bro learn government
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:03
Yet the President approved billions for the renovation of his own residence and the Vice President's lodge.
The austerity measures are strictly for the poor.
The ruling class has not sacrificed a single comfort.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:07
you are just reading twitter propaganda
go outside and see roads being built
the lagos calabar coastal highway is going to be massive for the economy!
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:11
A 15 trillion Naira coastal highway awarded without competitive bidding during a severe debt crisis is a fiscal crime.
It is not an infrastructural win.
It is misplaced priority at the highest level.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:15
you guys just hate the yoruba man in power
if it was your candidate doing this you would be clapping and dancing
tribalism is your real problem!
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:19
I am Yoruba.
Hunger does not speak a tribal language.
When the price of asthma inhalers went up by 400 percent the pharmacy did not ask for my state of origin.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:23
omo it is just a phase
the foreign investments are coming! he is traveling and securing billions in pledges
investors trust him
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:27
Pledges are not Foreign Direct Investment.
Meanwhile GSK, Procter & Gamble, Sanofi, and Microsoft have actually packed up and left the country under his watch.
Capital is fleeing.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:31
good! let indigenous companies take over!
we don't need western monopolies exploiting us anyway
naija to the world!
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:35
Indigenous companies require electricity to manufacture goods.
We just saw an astronomical tariff increase for power that barely exists.
You are celebrating industrial collapse out of blind political loyalty.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:39
band A is for the rich people and businesses!
the poor are still protected from the tariff hike
you just want to pay cheap money for light you don't even have
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:43
The manufacturers are on Band A.
They will immediately pass the increased cost of production directly to the poor consumer through higher prices.
This is basic microeconomics. The poor will pay for it.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:47
nah you are just too negative
student loans are literally launching! my guys in school are about to get funded
education is finally getting attention
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:51
Indebting young students to pay for arbitrary tuition hikes while the quality of tertiary education remains abysmal is not a victory.
It is a debt trap.
You are praising a bandage on an amputation.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 11:55
at least he is trying something new!
buhari did nothing for 8 years and we suffered in silence
tinubu is actually taking risks to fix it!
olamide.irl - FOR - 11:59
Jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is also "trying something new."
It does not make it a good idea.
Recklessness is not a strategy.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 12:03
history will vindicate him
when the economy is booming in 2027 you will quietly delete all your posts
mark my words
olamide.irl - FOR - 12:07
I operate on data. Not prophecy.
Currently the data indicates catastrophic stagflation.
I will not hold my breath for a miracle.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 12:11
you doctors always think you know everything
the streets know what is up. we believe in the mandate!
city boy till 2031
olamide.irl - FOR - 12:15
The "streets" are currently protesting in Minna, Kano, and Ibadan because they cannot afford garri.
Your street must be in Maitama.
Stop romanticizing poverty from your privileged bubble.
dr.ayo.speaks - AGAINST - 12:19
whatever bro
tinubu is the best political strategist in africa
just sit back and watch the masterclass
olamide.irl - FOR - 12:23
A masterclass in impoverishing 200 million people.
I will return to saving lives now.
