I'm not surprised at some of the comments berating BRF. Those berating him either simply lacks the capacity to comprehend what he's talking about or they are just hating out of shared hatred. It takes share intelligence and a mind devoid of "biasedness" and hatred to understand the present socio-economic dynamics of the present day Nigeria. Our young people still have a lot to learn.

What is in the immediate past, between 2010 and 2015, is that oil prices soared and exceeded $100 per barrel, and we earned about $215 Billion in that period.


The previous government was a disaster in all ramifications and some dumb fools will be calling, one weak, heartless and corupt buffon a hero.
imagine if they have just invested $100 billion on electricity, agriculture and health care alone, we wont be in this situation, instead they stole with relish and reckless abandon, and yet they still walk free today.....but we can only work on the present to shape the future....

I listen sometimes to BRF and I say what a brilliance.

I do hope someday the brilliance will be put to reality. His talks are good but the working of the talks are distorted when it comes to implementation.

New word for today: Capex - Capital Expenditure.

Talking of the man on the street, Mr. BRF, I remember in Lagos you never did too well remembering the man on the street. For example, you built affordable houses but not cheap houses in which the man on the street could hardly afford.

You people don't have love for the man on the street, you are just interested in what he has to offer which is tax (the few pennies he had left to sustain himself).
The man on the street does not belong on the street. He belongs in the places the elites occupy. Fashola keeps seeing you outside the streets but you are determined to keep people there. Visualize the future without the eyes of a peasant, You peasant! He is telling the UK that they benefited more when Nigeria was a priority trading partner and they still stand to benefit more. Now China has taken their place as our biggest trading partner. He is saying that We have infrastructural challenges as a third world nation but they too are not faring better compared to their first world colleagues. We need to return to how we were. That's a Nigga with some balls and clarity. But you want to eat and wear clothes and not plan for the future just like the f.u.cking peasant you are. Think like the bourgeoisie and not like a foot soldier whose only concern is the next meal. Think like Fashola, think like Tinubu, think like Buhari; think like a king. Go and reread the post.

Yes it's not rocket science, that's if it's under the same condition including having access to over $215 Billions within a five years period. Plus stop the bombing of the power stations pipe line maybe then you'll have a better picture of what is really going on

The man on the street is the Nigerian that is employed but can`t feed his family, is the female receptionist that can`t get her hair done without subsidy from her boyfriend, is the clerk that calls in sick because he can`t afford transport fare to work. So the man on the street is not just the graduate that has not been able to find work since graduating five years ago, or the homeless adult that begs on your way to work. If you blame the latter for their misfortune, what do you say about the former? The weakness of Fashola that people are talking about is his lack of empathy, that is why you would demolish people`s home without any consideration for their fate afterwards. That is why he would try to talk peasants out of their lands in order to please Dangote the billionaire. In a nutshell, he is a leader for millionaires not a leader for million have-nots; the type of leader that blames the poor for their poverty. The speech he gave has been described as fantastic, because it was; but that shouldn`t stop people from discussing his shotcomings as a leader, should it?

So is Saudi Arabia a developed nation? Apart from 10 million barrels of oil per day, what other products can we buy in the market that was made in Saudi. Infrastructure in Saudi Arabia is mainly built buy foreigners. With a population just over 30 million, any country can build wonderful infrastructure and wonderful welfare system, but that doesn`t make you a developed nation.

You misunderstand me a little. I am not blaming anyone for their misfortune. Not the skilled, unskilled, employed or unemployed. I am saying that you should try to see the world through the eyes of the leader who is trying to get his people to a desired destination. Think like the actor and strategist rather than the person at the receiving end. The truth is that there will never be a right time to take tough actions. There will never be enough money to provide palliatives that will cushion the effect of the economic policy change. There is no serious work that will bring success that will not scare people. It is normal. And if most people are happy every time a leader brings policies, there is something wrong with that leader; you are father Christmas, and guess what? Father Christmas is not real .You are chosen to lead because you can see what most people can't see. Dangote can have land as long as the people are paid and the economic activity he is bringing will benefit them in the long run. If the people are afraid, it is normal, but they will praise the same Dangote and their leader when everything turns out right. And you know what? The people will say they had always supported the leader because the masses have short memory and they are fickle minded.
Humans are by nature always afraid of change but a leader's job is to act so that they can react. When he acts the people will see that they have more to give than they ever realized. I don't think Fashola does not care for the poor masses, rather, he knows the masses have more strength and resourcefulness than they demonstrate. His job is to bring it out of them. That is the kind of leader I want.

Spoken like a true peasant. No superior argument, no vision, just disillusionment, hopelessness and unbelief. Your lost hope, when you regain it will be given back to you by those who have theirs now. It's not yet time for people like you to join the party. The band wagon is not yet for your kind.

What he's saying is Saudi has nothing to offer Nigeria when it comes to the technology required for infrastructure development be it railway, roads, ports, etc. Saudi also imports the required technology items 100% abroad. So who approach when we know the location of the owners of the technology?

Be forming e-war Lord. I am not in the mood.

The challenge I have with a below-average mind like you is you view every opportunities like this as a medium to argue and attain superiority, even when there is no point to do so. You only forgot the word opinion, not imposing your view on others.

My sincere advice:
You need a thorough psychoanalysis. No pun intended. You are a misfit for any intellectual environment. Your position is devoid of logic. Go and learn about e-civility.

If you further quote me, it means I can't be wrong on the assessment of you.
