GeneralDae:

I keep telling them the Governors and local Government Chairmen have more important roles to play in fixing the country than the President. Many of them think Obi is the answer, what would Obi do that he couldn't do in Anambra? I do not believe in any of these aspirants, the only reason I want Obi to win is to make a statement to APC and PDP that the people have lost faith in them also coupled with the fact that Obi is more frugal than the other two aspirants, not that I expect much from Obi.
Thing is ehn... We need good people as chairmen and governors... They are the closest to us....
We need solid people in those position... When states governors are doing well .... Federal will sit tight...

Close your lips and accept the truth. You and your government has failed. Simple! No serious government can stay unproductive for 6months not to talk of 7years. Finish ur term park your things to your village. Nonsense

How is building and getting necessary equipment for school not a solution to building the economy.

How is becoming a producing nation instead of a consuming one not a solution to building the economy?

How is cutting unecessary cost and channelling these same fund to important things not a solution to grow the economy?

How is investment in SMEs not a solution to growing the economy.

One thing you must understand about Peter Obi supporters is that they are learned and they can relate to his policies. I know what Peter Obi knows, because I am in same field, and I
know those are what Nigeria needs.





Omo I can’t laugh, browse all those things you talked about if they are already evident in Nigeria or not.

Honestly it was not funny when I heard that over hyped Peter Obi made the derogatory statement that "infrastructure don't drive economic"... Maybe some people can simply list some infrastructural facilities for him to know better..
Re: Can Infrastructure Drive An Economy? Fashola Counters Peter Obi (2019) by Oladelepsy001(m): 12:45pm On Jul 03, 2022
These are few things that are called infrastructures.. Peter Obi should check if it won't move economy.. These are the major things that makes people run to the so called developed nations.

If you like keep supporting people who have sworn to make Nigeria worst.

Yes you may be right!!
One thing I like Obi is that he is prudent in spending. Obi constructed roads down to all rural areas in the State. He didn't borrow. Obi cleared all arrears, paid all pensions and gratuities including those owed by his predecessors, Obi turned Anambra to a manufacturing hub, he helped institute about 6 different manufacturing companies in the State including the popular Inoson Motors. Obi paid all elderly citizens of the State who are not even entitled to pension, for full 8 years of his tenure. Obi constructed numerous schools, health centres, school of nursing, equipped major hospitals. Launched heart centre. Obi paid all 1st class University graduate of Anambra citizens one million Naira back then which was a huge some. His government sponsored many of them to further their studies abroad. These are just a percentage of his Goodwill. I just want to highlight these to you that this man is a good man.
Obi doesn't take decision into his hands, he always call on people's assembly. They tell him what they want him to do with their public fund and he does it. The 75 billion naira you mentioned wasn't actually there initially it was as a result of a little percentage he invested which turned out that huge return when he was about leaving office.
Obi sponsored SME's and brokered deals for small businesses in Anambra State.

Obi cleared ASUU subventures which was quite capital intensive that today Anambra State University is the only University not undergoing ASUU strike, ready to churn out fresh set of graduates in the next few months. Like I said his projects were fundamental. Give him time, he will turn this country for good.

Fashola also did same when he governed Lagos. he pays salary and pension as at when due, he never borrowed money to pay salaries and pension but only borrowed for mega infrastructure development..which we Lagosian are very proud of and which are visible to the blind ...

Nigeria,

A country where proven public service failures stand up to lecture others who had made a success of both their private and public lives. Fashola should be ashamed of himself for talking about economy even while his government has collapsed under economic woes.

You really cannot use infrastructure to grow the economy, what Fashola failed to mention was that the millions of liters of gas used to build the bridge were imported, at a very negative balance of trade for a country that has gas under its soil? Most of the other materials and manpower are also imported, benefiting foreign countries. The number of expatriate workers in JB will amaze you, with thrice that number serving them as cooks, gardeners, drivers and security men. Loss of foreign currency.
c
You grow the economy organically, by improvements in the GDP, creating enabling environment with power supply (an area Fashola failed woefully) and making sure more people work and exchange goods and services, not to talk about tax. APC keep proving everyday that they are passers by in the corridors of power.

Vote for Peter Obi.

He will make Nigeria so rich and prosperous that the likes of Fashola will relocate to Jamaica to hide their faces.

Why hasn't it been felt by ordinary Nigerians, the gains of the infrastructure, in regards to the economy..
Majority of the infrastructure this APC has put up is based on loans, most of that infrastructure has been rendered useless by insecurity, it was on that premise Peter Obi made his statement.
If the infrastructure APC is putting up isn't based on loans, and no insecurity, we will all hail them.

The point Obi made is, very valid.

Definitely you judge with sentiments....
It's common sense that PO didn't make a single sense...
Let me start from this... If you can tell me any country the the world that didn't loan a single penny to build infrastructures then I will know you are saying the truth considering peter obi and even take you as a smart person.
Let me brust your bubble... The bigger the state or country the bigger their loans... Check it out and research on it yourself...
Insecurity is based on the people of the country which are the citizen... We are very religious in this country and yet we are the worst people in the world...
Even if we are to tag the politician as people causing the insecurity... The. Let's think about who is doing it for them? Are those not the same nigerian citizen doing the bidding for them and yet everyone will say government or politicians is at fault whereas they don't know the meaning of government...
Government is the people and a fair politician can do little to nothing if the citizen are not ready to change.
NB I used the word fair politician because I don't trust any politician

You are a clown. What Fashola did was twist the statement to the political advantage of his party. One thing about indexes is that there are several ways through which they can be quoted. There are several sectors that can drive the economy. But when you borrowed money to the extent of servicing debt with over 90% of earnings, then when asked what your achievement are with such debt you point out that you invested it in infrastructure. Then it is very smart to say that infrastructure does not drive the economy. Look, we have intellectuals among the political class. The Fashola, Tinubu, Soludo, El Rufai, and of course Peter Obi, falls into this class. But what most of them actually are, are intellectual fraud. With these they can easily fool the undiscerning. Obi is very right, but Fashola used the flexibility of economic indices to his advantage.
Re: Can Infrastructure Drive An Economy? Fashola Counters Peter Obi (2019) by Originalsly: 1:10pm On Jul 03, 2022
Fashionable should be embarrassed to speak on such matters. The infrastructure he is lecturing about... and its importance ... what has he done to put the very infrastructure in place? He was/is in a position to do something about it ... what did he do? Basic infrastructure of the last century.... under his watch... he can't maintain. Roads... electricity... potable water.....basics of the last century... we cannot benefit from in this century. Thus is the man that put Lagos in debt borrowing from the World Bank to build skyscrapers.... part of his infrastructure plans ... the man that planned on providing cable cars as a means of mass transportation for Lagosians... this is the man lecturing on infrastructure. Some people.... the harm they have done to this country ... need to be stoned to

It’s logical to illiterates …

You don’t explain micro and macroeconomic issues in relation to the global economy and drivers of international policy to a market woman.

All she knows is stock fish don cost.

Same as you guys… pointless explaining to ignorant people.

Better to just keep referencing your illiteracy till you get tired and not respond again

Go and learn basic vocabulary and the meaning of adjectives before using them, it makes you sound very stupid.

If only Fashola can tell Nigerians or just Lagosians the billions of naira of indebtedness they bequeathed to Lagos State.

Ask Babatunde Badamosi, he will tell you the fraud taking place at Badagry to Orile 5 lanes expressway..
And amount also spent/misappropriated...

Fact, when you know the Debts Tinubu,cFashols, Ambode and now Sanwo Olu are bequeathing to future generations of Lagosians,buns go deman for their heads...

The real fraud is when you compare the billions of naira of debts, the real revenue accrued over 23 years, and you juxtapose to actual projects they claimed they used the funds, you will know that Lagos State Govt is perhaps a SCAM!!!

Thanksful:


Fashola is a big failure under Buhari. Is he not the one managing our power? For 8 straight year, he couldn't no anything.

Look at our roads. Are they not death traps?
he no longer handles power.. beside he is the best minister of works ever..
in Lagos specifically..b4 2015..all the federal roads in lagos state were death trap..

today.

there is no single fedral road in lagos that isnt receiving attention

lagos - ibadan
apapa - oworonshoki
ikorodu - sagamu
lagos - badagry
lagos - abeokuta

this are all the worst and most significant roads in lagos...Fashola's ministry is building all

Obi has the Simple solution that can turn around Nigeria in just 4 years

When you Listen to Peter Obi objectively you will see he is the one with the solution.




lol..what simple solution..

turning Nigeria into a producing nation can never happen within 4 years..

Nigeria will need loans to fix power..

SIRTee15:


So in what way will the FG bring about your production investment. By building industries or by giving loan to business man to produce? How does the govt boost production?
Do u know why Nigeria cannot compete against the asian countries esp china when it comes to production and export. Why are Nigerian industries not competitive?
The answer is the price differential. If your final product cannot match what's coming from asia, nobody will touch it.

To achieve this u need a strong value added chain sector- from primary product to final product. The supply chain must be quick, efficient and cheap. Importing component and assembling into final product is waste of time. That's not industrialisation.
2. U need infrastructure esp Power. Electricity and transport must be damn cheap and the cost shouldn't be factored into the final product.
3. Good economic and fiscal policy to encourage home grown entrepreneurs and attract foreign investment.
U guys are joking when u say we don't need foreign investors. In fact, u need them more than anything. They will bring in their technology and ensure accessibility to foreign markets.
4. Invest in human capital. Promote good technical education and ensure a healthy and well motivated work force.
5. Security! Security!! Security!!!
6. More and more infrastructure. In power, transport, ports, ware houses, supply chain, logistics etc

We really need sound technocrats to educate people on why our economy isn't productive. Buhari really messed up this country that people don't even have an idea what good governance is all about.
OBIDIENT CREW SHOULD STOP BLINDLY CONDEMNING ECONOMIC POLICY SIMPLY because ITS NOT FROM OBI'S MOUTH.
That was how they were foaming in that credit system thread.
I'm yet to see the full detail of Obi's economic blueprint. Something Obidient crew should be doing instead of criticising other peoples plan.

the bolded alone has said it all

How can an economy develop when there is insecurity in the land? When our youths are not in school due to strike. This government has shown nothing but failures in all sectors. Education, agriculture, security, economy, Health. No sector is doing well.

How can you be rooting for a party that has lost all forms of humanity in them? No fuel, no light, schools are on strike. You really amaze me.

Thank you. An economy that only consumes can never grow. The economy must go back to production. And that means we must get the power sector right, security right and our schools need to be revamped.
