Peter Obi believes that Nigeria is under-policed. That other African countries which are smaller than Nigeria have up to 1 million officers. I absolutely agree.
But where will the money to fund them come from? The current officers are poorly paid despite being too few in number.

The number one cause of this short recruit is*NO HOPE* in Nigeria especially in Nigerian security system and peradventure Peter Obi wins and rejuvenate that hope again,you would see millions of recruits in every security departments/sectors in Nigeria...
Secondly,the money to pay for their salaries,wouldn't be any problem because Nigeria is very rich buh just few pocketed Nigerian money (1/100) and when Peter Obi block some loopholes of corruption and cut down the cost of governance, you would then see that the money to pay for their salaries wouldn't be an issue...
Lastly,the political elites are fighting against this because they wouldn't want that to happen via they are benefitting massively from this Nigeria damaged settings buh the masses will definitely win at last....
I rest my case...Gracias!!

Look i share your points that subsidy has to go, but not at this time that crude oil prices are soaring and the naira is shit compared to the US dollar. it will worsen an already bad situation in Nigeria. The issue is there is no accountabiliy in the subsidy regime. and he will not end like Buhari if he does, then since we elected him it has sent a message to everyone that the electorate for once have power to remove anyone and we would remove him as well.

I know, but let's be honest....no one , unless your name is Dangote and BUA, wants to build a big new refinery because one will refine fuel at NN200, or more and sell it at N165...and be happy.

At the end, we have to decide whether we want to keep on running deficit budgets or not...because we have to pay a rising cost of money for subsidy when oil prices rise.

If you put the right thing in place, from consumption to Production, there will be funding

And you think all those changes will come to fruition in a year or two?

Most people supporting PO, do not know that if he actually do what he says he'll do, there will be better hunger (even worse than Buhari's hunger) in the land for at least 2 years before the positive side of his policies will start showing. But his supporter don't know this. They think he'll solve all the problem in one year. They think he will just replicate what he saw in Egypt in 1 year, and things will just get better.
And this kind of too much hope will cause them utter disappointment when they don't see what they want in a short time.

They don't know that insecurity will remain the same or rise for quite sometime before anything meaningful will be done. Even if he changes security chiefs every month, how many would he change. He won't be able to do anything meaningful in 3 months securitywise. In those 3 months, can he stand the heat? When on his first day in office, he hear they bomb one village in Borno and tomorrow they've bombed a city in Kaduna and next tomorrow they've kidnapped school children in Sokoto, can he stand the heat. Or would he resort to blaming the previous government?

The fact he's making all the problem in the country easy to solve will be his greatest nemesis if he gets there.

Do you actually think Fashola didn't think truly with his heart that electricity was a problem that could be solved within 6 months? And here we are after 7 years we're still in darkness.
Buhari could swear with his life that fuel subsidy was a scam when he wasn't President, but when he got there his eyes clear.
Even the most illiterate tout in the motor park knows the problem of this country and solution but take him to power and he'll flop. Everyone thinks the world works the way it works in their head.

The fact that we all think one politician alone is going there to work while the others are going there to worsen the problem should stop.
You never can tell if Nigeria will get better under PO and get worse under Tinubu or Atiku, or Nigeria will get better under Tinubu but worse under PO or Atiku, or get better under Atiku but get worse under Tinubu or PO.
We don't know and we'll never know for sure because it is only one that will be President.

Lies as usual. How does he expect sensible Nigerians to believe whatever he says in the interview? Same man who claimed he invested 20m dollar and today it's about 100m dollar only to blame "one youth" after Soludo debunked his lies! He lies effortlessly.

At least He invested the money
Your Agbado guy put his own in his private Pocket.

I thought that by now Peter Obi would have stopped his incoherent, stop and start way of answering questions giving the office he is vying for. He always appears to be wandering into different thoughts at the same time which affects the words that come out of his mouth. Either that or he doesn't have a real plan on any issue.

olisaEze:
While other candidates are still abroad recuperating from the dollars they shared during the primaries, this man is already making moves that’ll take Nigeria from a borrower economy to production!

His appointments will not be on the bases of ur family tree, but based on capacity!

Vote Peter Obi for a Nigeria that’ll work for everyone and not just the entitled few!!

What baffles me most is that some of the paid demented deranged miscreants castigating and abusing Peter Obi here,do not even know that the probability of getting a good paying jobs and exalting offices would be higher under Peter Obi's government than in the government of Tinubu or Atiku because these two believed in connection and contacts while a common man believed in his ability and excellency of which Peter Obi stands for merit and not for*political elites,cronies and friends*..
Lastly,Peter Obi's government would be a government where a son of a nobody becomes somebody without knowing anybody...
I rest my case..Gracias!!!!

The money Nigeria and Nigerians have paid bandits and kidnappers in the past 4 years can fund 100,000 gallant officers for 8 years.

Nigeria is rich bro , to have 1 million police men and maintain them , curruption won't let us see road

Nigeria is not rich. And please don't compare it to countries like UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. If you sum all their population together it won't still reach Lagos. That's why they are rich cos they have less people to enjoy such plenty crude oil. Nigeria has similar amount of crude oil but with over 200 million people.

Prinxzona10:
The truth of all these issues is that Nigerians don't even know how much corruption have eaten deep and destroyed Nigeria and removing of subsidy wouldn't have any negative effect on Nigerians when accountability is there and when you cut down the cost of governance...
Nigeria is rich buh Nigerian's wealth are pocketed by just few and that's what Peter Obi is coming to fight,so that the wealth will flow generally to everybody buh the political elites wouldn't want that hence the reason they're fighting Peter Obi by using some of you guys even without knowing that you've been used to subjugate and suppress your future and destinies...
Every lunatic is trying to see fault where there's no fault in Peter Obi buh Atiku,Tinubu or even Kwankwaso never dime it fit to come for such interviews and why are they running away from such interviews or do you think they've never been invited before?their advisers have advised them to avoid all these interviews because it will open their asses via they gat nothing to offer and every sane and reasonable persons know that very well..
Take it or leave it,Peter Obi is for the common man on the street(the masses) while Atiku and Tinubu are for their fellow political elites,cronies,families and friends....so,if you ain't among these circles of people supporting these old sick selfish and corrupt candidates,then stop fighting Peter Obi instead start fighting for Peter Obi...
I rest my case...Gracias..

Bro the game is called POLITICS....

Peter Obi is playing his brand of politics

Kwankwaso is also playing his brand of politics

Asiwaju and Atiku are playing theirs.

Realise this and have peace... and i doubt Asiwaju will go on Arise TV owned by an Igbo man and actively pushing negative news on Asiwaju and Atiku and promoting Obi... it makes no political sense.

But they might go on other platforms

Subsidywise20:


You are sounding like PO here...yes and no. Subsidy has to go, whether cost of transport or power cost. If I was government and you were a business selling books at N1000 per book, and I told you to sell at N30 instead to help the poor, how would you make a profit that would enable you to pay for restocking, transport costs, etc?



And if subsidy goes, all the fradulence would end. Since there is no more free government money...people will bring in fuel and sell and make a profit without having to lie that they are bringing in 10 million when it is really 2 million.

I mean, no subsidy, so no one can make subsidy claims, and people will just simply bring in and sell what they really bring in. And since they are making a profit, no need to lie or to smuggle fuel out of the country.

.



My problem with PO and Buhari and company on this subsidy issue is their lack of decisiveness. Subsidy has to go. No buts. It is fuelling the corruption in the system, it is causing inflation of fuel import figures, so that people can make fradulent claims, and it is losing us billions via smuggling to the whole west africa .

Subsidy has to go, and go now. No buts.

I would have offered you cold gulder for this truthful post but I don't know if you're a Muslim.

Truly subsidy has to go. No buts. No ifs. E gats go.

Indecision is worse than no decision.

Nobody is expecting any miracle under one year. But someone can plug some loopholes by his own leadership. So much money is stolen at Nnpc. Nigeria doesn't know how much crude it produces per day.

Boko haram is a franchise. People are living big off it. Have you heard of the journalist that exposed why a certain Major committed suicide? Have you heard why he had to leave the country with nothing?

Bro, a lil leadership with the right person at the top will change a lot.

Listen, there is nothing like we don't know if.... these people have antecedents. Go and read my watch on Atiku. He is just interested in being the president. He is the one that started the bribery at the NASS.

Mr Tinubu cannot lead. He just wants to be a president. It is his turn. Somebody told you his plan for the youths and insecurity and you are still in doubt. He blacks sometimes. How do you expect him to function? Like Buhari?

The crowd following Obi will be less of Osinbajo was on the ballot.

i agree with you.

casualobserver:


you insulted me because I said peter obi never gives a straight answer and now i am asking you to tell me what his responses were to 4 things 3 of which are simple yes or no answers and you too are waffling. is it only subsidy they asked him. you too are behaving like Obi. what did he say about state police and restructuring....these are simple yes or no questions.

I hope at least in your private moments even if you dont admit it publicly that there are real concerns with Peter Obi and what he says... he is too vague.

yes or no are you removing subsidy, are you introducing state police, are you restructuring, these things dont require story. Tinubu has already stated he will introduce state police, he has stated he will restructure and I am sure he will remove subsidy because the truth is no Nigerian aspiring for office can acheive anything if we do not remove subsidy. Subsidy in 2023 for example is more than our entire budget for education health and roads combined. Our subsidy in 2023 will build lagos to Ibadan rail 5 times, These are not issues on which a presidential candidate can be vague.


pepter Obi claims he wants to invest in the people, you cannot invest in the people without health and education, where will he get the money, in 8 years he didnt raise the IGR of Anambra, is it this same person that will raise the IGR of Nigeria? so if he has no track record of generating revenue, the only other option is to look at areas of waste, therefore subsidy is a key area especially as I said we spend More money on subsidy than we spend on Education, health, roads combined!!!

That is why Buhari should just remove fuel subsidy before he leaves. He's already hated by almost everyone. There's nothing he'll do that will make those who hate him to hate him less. So let he just remove the fuel subsidy and go. Cos people will hate the next President that removes it. I won't tho

obynzo:


you said in 8 years he didn't raise the IGR of Anambra. Please bring the data on Anambra IGR from 1999 till 2014 when he left let us check the percentage increment. Oga don't let your hatred cloud your judgement.

as you people say go and verify

Restructure Nigeria!!!
The current security structure of Nigeria is the problem and not under policed. If PO is not ready to restructure Nigeria he is wasting his supporters' time.

It was not a personal question.

Rufai: What specifically are you going to do about the power sector based on your findings?

PO: You see a young man approached me at the airport and said; sir, people are taking pictures with you, who are you?
I replied that I am a Presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections in Nigeria, those you see taking pictures with me are Nigerians.
The boy said; my mother is a Jamaican while my dad a Nigerian, I want to come and invest in the country

He's still on d right track. Some of his contenders are anxiously waiting to hijack his ideas and prospects. Dey are scavenging for anything to match him. Hope U're not one of d scavengers?

Don't worry, in due time and place, he will answer dat question and even more, ok.

What debt burden, he left Obiano with a debt burden of N185b but omitted it from his handover notes.

He increased IGR by a paltry 8% in the total of 8 years, in a period of economic boom for the country and in a country where inflation is above 10% PER ANNUM meaning in real terms IGR actually reduced under him, but you are probably not enlightened enough to to understand what I just typed. The man before him achieved 800% in only 3 years, the man after him achieved over 200% in 8 years of economic difficulty and social upheaval and you have mouth to talk? You motivation is clearly not facts, logic and good performance. Just state what we all know that you are supporting Obi because he is Ibo and save us all the BS about him being the messiah. I honestly don’t know why I even bother, it’s not like he has any chance of winning anyway.
