Orisirisi, Nigerians are very funny set of people. Emeka, Ebuka and kingsley are into importation business and they import all manners of rubbish from abroad.
Tayo, Taiwo are also importing all kind of jargons from Europe. Now the government import petrol and many of you are complaining. The government is just a mirror of her people.

Give ten Nigerians loan today if they wont build hotels, club etc everywhere. I honestly asked one person who criticize obi when he was a governor on this forum why he/she was now rooting for obi now. The person did not reply my mention. Obi business model and performance as Anambra does not make him the best candidate over others to me.

You cant give what you don't have, how can a importer model the Nigeria economy when he failed to do that in his state?
My friend do say my soft spot for tinubu is because i'm a lagosian, i dont just have time for his capping yet. I know his soft spot for obi is because he likes igbo and edo people are big fan of obi.
Normally the igbos are being cheated in Nigeria but obi will fail if he was the president in nigeria kind of government settings where cabals has a bigger say in government. The person most fit for this job is the boastful mr tinubu. Lets see if he can really prove himself.

Obi fans feel they apply common sense but what they apply is emotional sense of entitlement. My friends tag me as tinubu supporter but some of my APC family tag me obidient but this obidient dont know we cant hate on our family because they're APC or tolerate insult because of a political party lol. On the day of election everyone in our house went to vote obi, my mum forced our igbo tenant to come out to vote obi. I had my reservations but my uncle said "Obi ni o!" . Now elections are over everyone has moved on but obi fans are still insulting us.

Obi is just like the rest nothing special to offer, at this stage of my understanding i can tell when someone is just gathering enough fans to when someone will actually perform. Obi will perform well in a government where there are lesser opposing forces but for this type of government, tinubu or atiku are ones that can make big moves and dare alot of opposing forces in government.

And those rooting for military rule and yet complaining about wike arrogant nature are confused and might also be obidient also.

What has been done by the current administration that also supported the 8 years failure of Buhari to provide the basic requirements like efficient power supply,unified tax regime,reduction of transport cost,reliable security system and accessible roads for businesses to run smoothly in the country?
All this present administration has done is to keep increasing taxes for an already taxed private sector!

Okwyjesus:


One.of the most sensible write up from PBAT supporter l have read.

I voted Obi with my household but l honestly doubt if Obi can boldly take some of the steps Tinubu is taking to resharp the nation.

My concern with Tinubu was his age and the fact that it's really would have been just for lgbos to taste presidency at this age.

tollyboy5:

I never supported buharis administration. What i do know is buhari was a step to tinubu achieving his goal.. His administration would have been better but he chose to sideline tinubu and tinubu waited patiently.

Gerrard59:
Yeah. Exxon has one of its biggest refineries in Jurong Island. Ditto for Shell, which has a massive petrochemical facility on the same island. That island is a beehive for petrochemical industries, a major component of Singapore's manufacturing sector.

bentenny:

The highlighted is stale and illogical!
Even Tinubu openly said Buhari had done very well
In other words,he was either lying to Nigerians or he was simply trying to pander to his fulani masters at the detriment of his own people!
If the former leader of APC Bamdele Akande could call out Buhari for poor leadership,what stopped Tinubu from doing the same when it was obvious that Buhari was taking us to a seeming economic crisis?
Even now,Buhari's 100 days in office was far better than Tinubu's 105 days in office!
May we not end up saying Buhari was better than Tinubu because so far its going that way!

Importation will reduce by fire by force.

The current high inflation has reduced people's ability to purchase goods, particularly imported ones.

Demand for non-essential imports must already be falling drastically, and with crude oil price increasing, Nigeria's balance of payment will rebalance in favour of higher export earnings.

Making imports expensive by devaluing the naira, which is what the government has done is one of the most effective tools for achieving increased local production even though there are unfortunate downsides to that policy.

I think we finally have a clever government.

Go to any supermarket, you will see up to 10 different types of imported breakfast cereals, olive oil, this oil and that oil. Even imported can coke, and many more non-essential imports.

We can produce all the corn we need to make different breakfast cereals, but we don't. We have palm oil, groundnut oil etc, and there is nothing wrong with locally produced coke.

These are just few examples of non-essential imports that is killing the naira.

In the future, when we are producing more and the economy is in a better condition, may be these things can be imported.

For now, we can go back to eating yam, beans etc for breakfast. People did this in the past, it didn't kill them.which one have you produce with all this initiative

ifegen:


You really had me with the first few paragraphs but I was reading on to see what solutions or conclusions you were going to make and there was none. Just there. RANTS RANTS RANTS, POINTLESS CRITICISM.
Are you saying Tinubu will cut down on imports? What exactly is he going to do to turn the tides around since as we can see, importation is one of the things killing us in this country from the video we just watched.
This isn't the post for your political sentiments, flush it down the toilet biko.

For good 27 years our refineries are not working. Our leaders and politicians do not care about it...just to loot money they know... Even ajaokuta steel company not working for the past 42 years and our leaders and politicians do not care... nawaoooo...

When you are throwing the same insults and tribal slurs at the opposing camp, and you are expecting to be exempted from the same bullets, that's surely a delusional mindset.

Oga, you will get what you served, with no reservation from any.

But meanwhile it is too early to judge your sworn political enemy, BAT, of non performance just after only 3 months. Come back after 2 years, then your appraisal will be meaningful.

And I doubt if your Obi can do better than what BAT has done so far.

walexbiz:
I concur with what the poster said. If you look at the current crop of political leaders we have in this country I agree it's the citizens that should have self introspection of themselves. From Obi to Tinubu we don't merit anyone of them but unfortunately those are the best we deem fit to rule. Obi has shown times without number that he can lie over and over again and Tinubu existence can only be described as a mystery. If the citizens want good governance they must start to act right.

As a Muslim, the Holy prophet enjoins us to always act right. I have citizens of this countries collude with criminals to vandalize government properties and yet they would blame government for their own misfortune.

You're not being sincere. There is nothing like nothern masters. The game of politics is what tinubu played and we all understood.
