Abeg make una leave south east and south south for this convo. We protested with our vote

You gave them (Governors) 72 Billions to feed people, yet 75 Billions to the National Assembly Members to buy Cars. That shows your Priorities. Brilliant Analysis...

Politics apart,this guy is sound, intelligent and on point ☝️

This is a brilliant analysis. I'm really impressed with the manner he's marshalling the points.

Pls, before this potential battle start, release MNK. He said all these years ago and everyone ignored him.

Obi begged for support of the North and they wickedly followed Tinubu..the music has just started, let the northers begin to dance

Quite ironic! When the SE talks, you deploy your military on them; when they remain silent, you are worried. Well, I am Yoruba but fully Obidient. I have no issues with the Igbos keeping silent and facing their business. They warned you all but y'all would not listen,

I’m eternally grateful that Ndi Igbo have no hand in destroying Nigeria. If this was happening under Obi presidency, Igbo people across Nigeria today will be in mortal danger

God of wonders beyond human comprehension, I thank You! Thank you Almighty Father for vindicating Peter Gregory Obi 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Well articulated scholar. Always a delight to listen to.

Peter Obi warned, he preached like a prophet saying " no tribe buy bread 🍞 cheaper but they ignored him bcus he is an igbo man, now they are the ones crying the most. Thanks be to GOD am from Edo state. Three years still far, this is just the beginning. Hope they learn and do the needful next election.

Does Tinubu even know what is going on in Nigeria??😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sadly, some people still see our suffering from the lens of tribalism. They attack Peter Obi each time you speak about Tinubu’s failures . Nigeria has been mismanaged for far too long but we never had it this bad

Floating of the naira in parallel with removing fuel subsidy in a poor non producing economy was a poor thought out decision. APC has been Nigerians nightmare

The South East and the South South are quiet because they're allowing Nigerians swim in their own stool. They worked hard to present to Nigerians a responsible, capable, and accountable leadership, but the north and some parts of the West rejected it.

This man is saying the truth . this is a. Right talk

APC is the very sharp weapon fashioned against Nigerians. Nothing else. We need to take action not just words.

I wish I could pity the North. And whoever told him that 65% of Tinubu's votes came from the North? The Southeast and South-South being uncharacteristically quiet is exactly what Nigeria needs from them. What would you have them do? The North preferred MuMu ticket over their very existence. And I'm glad they're the reward of their selfishness. All I can assure you is that before this hunger go kill anyone from the Southeast and South-South, it then means that all other regions have seen enough unimaginable hunger. You can never mock God. Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap...

This man Steve is not serious with his first question. Thank you Prof for giving him answer

The Northerners find themselves in a predicament, as they are particularly anxious about the potential division of Nigeria. They initially believed that Tinubu would serve as a puppet president, ensuring that power would eventually return to the North after his tenure. Their support for election rigging was rooted in this expectation. However, given Tinubu's current trajectory, it appears that he may be the final president of Nigeria. Consequently, the ultimate beneficiaries of this situation are likely to be the Igbo people, as the country seems destined for division, a prospect that deeply concerns the Northerners.

The south east will not talk. Igbos will always survive. Una for north never start. The revolution will not be televised

This Prof. is a very intelligent man

The SE is quiet because we told u all, but una no wan hear. Actually the whole nigeria should always wait and see which politicians igbos support, then go with that person. Igbos re business men, when they see BAD MARKET, they know!

Thank you so much for this bold, eloquent and brilliant analysis prof. However, an opportunity presented itself for a trained economist and businessman to manage and set the economy and the country on the path to progress and prosperity but no, you rallied support to the same group of persons you termed "clueless" and now the chicken has come home to roost hence the lamentation.

Why is he wondering why SE and SS are not shouting... but they have been shouting since against bad good governance, and y'all dint listen.. if person quiet wahala, if person shout wahala... see me see wahala oh

Tinubu is busy chasing ibo and flexing muscle against a tribe that fought over 250 tribes in a civil war including foreign powers, wetin ibo do nigerians

You are not listening to him, he removed subsidy and floated the naira without taking stock. The first thing he could have done was tackling insecurity, corruption and over bloated government spending.

Thank you Prof. for this bold analysis, Nigerians are suffering and smiling.

I love this Man whenever he speaks. This is the kind of northmen Nigeria needs in times like this.

Buhari started the ethnicity in appointments disregarding competence. Tinubu continued in the same vein. The Igbos were completely sidelined. When Igbos pointed it out- others as usual because of their hatred for Igbos ignored it. Tinubu is learned it from Buhari- This is the naked truth!

If Tinubu should be a Fulani man, you can never see all these people speaking. I'm not in support of Tinubu system of government but I'm just happy that the Northerners are also feeling the impact. When people were castigating Buhari 8yrs in power, all these people were quiet and laughing at other region because Buhari was favouring them with his Nepotistic mentality.

I'm from Burkina Faso. Brother Nigerians, please listen and consider the words of the professor. He is much more a Lover of Nigeria than a northerner. This is a crisp, sound socio-economic and political analysis. Nigeria is a heavyweight country: we need a healthy and strong Nigeria.

His calm demeanor and smooth delivery tells a lot. Let’s see what happens. The inflation is off the roof!

This man is speaking the truth. Now Tinubu in Ethiopia for AU meeting and people are dying?

I so much love this PROF, whenever he speaks, always on point,without sentiments.

This arises news man trying to make tinubu look good with useless stupid questions this man gives him good answers

Tribalism flows freely from this man's mouth. Everything is about the north for him. Nothing else

Please invite this professor more regularly to your show. He is my kind of professor. He knows his stuff. God bless him.

This man is preaching truth to power. God bless him.

My favourite Professor who speaks on behalf of Nigerians

I love this man, he speaks without looking at any body’s face

Point of correction, Tinubu did not win up to 20% in any part of the country apart from the South West where he might have gotten about 30%.

Always a pleasure to listen to this man. Such an incredibly intelligent and well-spoken analyst of the Nigerian state.

The northerners are hypocrites. Buhari moved key military installations to his region as well. Tinubu serves them right... They should enjoy it.

This same condition will happen to any country that has no plan of governance we have enough food but people wrong motives. This Proff is saying my minds.

There should be no excuse for Tinubu. He knew the problem on the ground before he rigged himself into the office as president. Therefore, he should do the right things before it becomes too late.

Very eloquent, proud, educated and enlightened nepotistic man has spoken. This man talks too much and picks offense when ever the remind him of the fulanis attack on farmers. He is the man who has being going thru the forest with sheikh Gumi and asking for amnesty for the fulani murderers. He called Governor Ortom all kinds of names because he was fighting the fulanis. He supported Buhari and was compensated with a federal agencies called National Health insurance scheme after a corruption scandal He was booted out and he started criticizing Buhari but he was one of those who brought him because he is a Muslim, fulani and from the same state with him. During the last election he called Peter obi names and was supporting Atiku a fulani man so that power could remain in the north but they were outsmarted by other higher religious bigots who fielded both Muslims. Today he is here threatening lightning and thunder because his pple who voted for religion are now hungry for food. Imagine this bigot saying the southeast east is quiet uncharacteristically, what was he expecting from us before? He wanted the southeast to join them in what? Nobody in the southeast no matter how poor they are has every depended in the government in all lvls from local, state to federal government. We are used to working hard. I urge the north to seize their food and see how the southeasterners will make a hell of money out of the hoarding of the foods. Even contracts we don't see in our states and those Governors are still not the richest pple in our space despite the looting. I am happy they noticed the southeast are keeping calm. I know Hopeless uzodinjo will like to mobilize some pple to protest so that it won't look as if we are not Nigeria. Mind you any protest you see in the southeast about this government just know it's a packaged protest. Professor Yusuf should call his bandits back to other

Na only when it’s NOT favouring the North that Northerners get sense and clamor for the voice of the people. Tinubu should stay 12 years at least to teach everyone a lesson. I’m not an APC supporter, and I don’t support Thiefnubu, but I believe it’s haram to criticize him 😂 By the time Thiefnubu finishes Nigeria, Nigerians will learn the hardest way. We will never vote by religion or ethnicity. May the suffer continue until all of Nigeria learns the meaning of meritocracy and democracy. Stop giving leadership to people undeserving of leadership.

I couldn’t help but grin with a smack just listening to the Prof. Am happy the North is now wailing, and this is just the beginning. Buhari sidelined the whole South, including Tinubu that helped him to power, forgetting Power is transient. Tinubu is not my candidate, but if standing up to the North is the only thing he achieved in his time in office….I say Tinubu THANK U 🙏

When The Fulani Buhari shut the border with Benin and Cameroon, this man and his fellow haousas, fulanis and kanuris celebrated and justifoef it. People suffered so much at the border communities with republic of Benin but Buhari did not care.

This man is learned, a man of integrity

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu, but I disagree with some of the things said by this professor. Everyone knows that subsidy had to go as even Buhari who failed woefully for 8 years did not make any arrangement for subsidy beyond his expired tenure. Anyone succeeding a failure must know he has so much work to do. Even if Obi whom I supported, emerged victorious in arguably Nigeria's most controversial presidential elections we had last year, he would face a lot of issues currently faced by Tinubu. However, I am sure Obi would have acted differently than what we're seeing Tinubu do right now, and the hardship probably wouldn't be as bad as it is. Obi wouldn't be wasting borrowed money on frivolities. Bottomline: APC has more woefully failed this country in 8+ years than PDP did in 16 years altogether. The failure is monumental and it is very sad. People should learn to vote rightly. FYI, the hardship has just begun.

Apc government is known for nepotism.

I Iove how this man is schooling this APC government 🙏 my love for you prof Usman💞❣️

What would you expect Tinubu do sir? "Yorubanization" is just an extension of what our former president Buhari did when he was in office, all Important offices were given to the Northerners, nobody queried him, it's a party-like policy if you like. And this has been from genesis. Is that a threat when you said (paraphrased), "..the silence of the North is more Lethal than the noises made in other parts of Nigeria" ? Tribal undertone! It can pull Nigeria down, let's talk as humans before being tribal. Dr. Yusuf Usman, I truly admire your intelligence, and your analysis of the present situation in Nigeria is stunningly illuminating. Well-done.

May God Almighty bless you more prof, we need more of your type in this country!

To be honest with the situation in the country. I will advise President Tinubu to not listen to all this noise coming from the North.8 years of Buhari is okay for everybody and now just 8 months only,you people have started complaining about this government.please give the president time.Am ok with the situation.tie your belt more it will be better than you guys think soon.😂

Steve is unserious with his first question. Are those who supported Tinubu not suffering as well? Nonsense!

This professor is very on point! But it was clear to every reasonable persons that Tinubu was not equal to the task. He couldn't even articulate his manifesto. But because of ethnic and religious divisiveness and corruption of INEC and judiciary- We throw our people to this mess!

Awesome commentary

I like the hunger heat in the land 😂 the north saw the road and took the bush path 😂😂 … this is just the beginning!

Buhari closed southern boarders all true his reign of 8yrs without consultations and this northern leaders were no where to found. Please leave thiefnubu alone to do his turn, mnk was kidnapped from a foreign sovereign nstion and kept him in jail illegally and this so called northern leaders supported everything he did now . Prof please tell me what is different from what thiefnubu is doing from what bokohari did?

Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti transversed the entire length and breath of northern Nigeria canvassing for support for a new Nigeria, but Arewa chose parochial interests, religious sentiments, vindictiveness and politics, they chose a man who stammered, licked microphones and stumbled his way all through the campaigns into Aso Rock. Elections do have consequences.

Professor Yusuf, you've made my day with your brilliant analysis. Thanks for speaking up for millions of Nigerians.

Very Brilliant and Professorial

South east is silent as nigeria is presently being devoured by fulanis and yorubas, that not enough, an organized destruction of ibo properties is championed by buhari and tinubu, 2 big tribal giants. Their scattering of ibo also led to a strong diaspora of ibo descent who are now favoured by happenings back here

The only problem with this Prof is that when he says "our people" he's referring to the north. Not all of Nigeria. And that's just very sad!

The way the man articulates his points is a delight to listen to and watch.

Suddenly all Fulanis don turn activists 😅😅😅😅 oga no dey disguise, relocation of CBN and the likes is your main hatred for Tinubu and also returning the nepotism gesture you enjoyed during your days of ur kinsman is your main headache

All this complaints are totally unnecessary Alhaji. Please you guys in the North and South West should allow our president to breathe. He hasn't made one year in office and you guys won't allow him be. Mr president is bringing the experience he used in building Lagos to bear. Those of us from the South East and South South are ok with Mr President's economic policies. He must finish his 8years and if possible change the constitution to allow him for another 4years.

Thank u my Prof, d truth must be told, Tell Dem they don't know. True Talk my Prof, may u live Long my prof. Stay safe.

The question is money. We need money. Not just money to spend, we need money to put in critical sectors. 1) what are these critical sectors? We need to find out? 2) how much do we need? How do we get it? How can we get such that it doesn't affect our earnings so terribly nor put too much burden on us as debt 3) How do we monitor implementation and stamp out corruption from spending? 4) How do we cut spending on recklessness and frivolities? 5) How do we strengthen the rule of law?

I always like to hear a confident, intelligent and principled person.

Over the time that I listen to this man he is always one sided with his arguments. He appears to say intelligent stuff but if you listen deeply he is really biased

My Brother from Another mother, You have said it all but the issue is that Mr Tinubu don't actually know how to quench this fire 🔥

I don't know why people are blaming BAT. During campaign, the man refused media interviews, he told all of you your food will be agbado, when he got to Kano he said he just came to dance, he told you he will continue from where Buhari left off on top of that he orchestrated Buhari getting into office in the first place. His famous "Emilokan" campaign promise will forever live in political history. So why are people crying up an down and disturbing our airwaves?. "When a man tells you who he is, believe him"...The late great Maya Angelou..

This man makes me feel like education is a waste of time and money. Look at a so-called professor, ask him whom did he vote for? He doesn’t want to hear anything about Peter Obi. The music just began, it has not started in full swing. Peter Obi continued to refer to the land mass of the north, which will generate more money and food production than oil, but they ignored him and voted for Muslim-Muslim ticket. Peter Obi asked you people question: which tribe or religion buys bread, cement and fuel ⛽️ cheaper than others.

I respect this professor agitation and concern to some extent. How I wish both the South-East and South-South have someone bold enough to speak up like this man.

For Mr Usman, the North is all about Nigeria. North. North. North. North. Traditional rulers. Clerics. Who created the suffering? Buhari? Jonathan? Tinubu? Mr Usman and his group of Northern leaders (clerics and traditional ) did not send any "coded" message to Buhari when killings and sacking of villages led to insecurity. Buhari appointed you the head of NHIS. Then you heard his name clearly

Buhari did much more than what Tinubu is doing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.... All these threats to our jagaban will not fly. The MDAs moving to Lagos is a big headache for the political North that got their children into juicy positions....

To fight inflation, remove the 1,000 and 500 naira notes from circulation. Introduce 5 and 10 naira notes and when possible coins. Schooling should be free up to SS 3 . Cut down the cost of government and introduce state police.

Niger republic are brothers with northern nigeria. Why the heck is the north stuck with people in the south who have no relationship with them? Sorry i forgot about OIL in the south.

This interview is AWESOMELY AWESOME. Sincere and objective should be the criticism of this ARISE interview with Professor!!! Would that be the case of the TINUBUNOBICS TEAM????

My question is that is there no land in the south to farm? That we must now depend on the north for food? What happen to the farmers in the southern Nigeria country?

This man is bringing tears to my eyes, he has spoken from the heart, I pray that President Tinubu listens

Professor of, and for northern nigeria. You do not speak for, or care about the south. It is all about the north, north and north. Oloriburuku.

This man is talking from a dept of wisdom that is in the intrest of the poor masses of this great and rich country

God bless you sir for speaking the truth

Prof is always speaks truth to power. Unfortunately your people in the north votes along ethnic and religious lines. If only they had voted wisely…

Up Buhari, Up Tinubu, the impecable duo

I can't agree with you less my great Dr , always with the exact facts

I will like if professor usman will be the president of Nigeria, where by he will destroy this reckless leaders wlh, he is honest person he is not afraid to says the truth. Thank you for speaking out voices. We will like u to come out as a president in the next election please.

No matter the weight of sentiments they whoop, my joy is that no one want to protest and we are not going to war for whatsoever reasons because Nigerians are getting wiser.

Saying that you don't know why South East is quite is a lie. They are quite cos he that keep Israel keeps them

As much as I criticize Tinubu's policies. Buhari was the worst ever president in this nation who significantly brought us to this point. Buhari a very reckless, and heartless leader. May we never have his kind again

I love this man God bless you Prof.

Prof. was a Northerner when President Buhari was president and was the cause of all Nigerians are suffering today. Is there something else the North is not telling us? Is his voice that of the "A Northener First"?

Wisdom is profitable to direct...You have spoken well...

This man, Yusuf that stole billions of naira from NHIS has the guts to talk. What a shame!!!

May God bless you Prof. Yusuf for speaking up truth with great boldness and courage. You have spoken the mind of poor Nigerians.
