Not Tinubu my dear, everything points at Peter Obi because Tinubu is part and parcel of this administration and Buhari said it unequivocal that wherever his party goes , that's where he will go after been criticised for earlier saying that he belongs to everybody and to nobody and subsequently, he made the 5% comment, so tell me, is APC trying to save Nigeria from APC? Is Tinubu going to work with a team different from that of Buhari and who are they?


IMF is not talking about administration. They are talking about intervention for remedies. grin

A progressive solution, one modeled after the successes of Lagos.

What stops Anambra from becoming business capital?

Kano governs itself, is it a business capital?
Ogun, Kaduna, Oyo, Rivers, Cross River, these places govern themselves. Are they business capitals?

Stop blaming people for voting Jonathan out in 2015. Jonathan spent about 6 years in power and had proven himself incapable of helping the country. It was obvious he wasn't the answer and people just needed a change.

Before then, Buhari had tried like 3 times but he couldn't defeat Obasanjo, Yaradua and even Jonathan at first. But since Jonathan did not work, and Buhari was the main alternative then, people had little choice than to give him a try then. It is a simple happenstance and we can't really blame anyone for voting Buhari then.

But now we have a choice.

Peter Obi for 2023.
the same choice we had with Buhari, I hope this won't be another mistake

You were incompetent in 2015 and remain incompetent in 2022.

Buhari came in 2015, 20yrs after Abacha.
I'd take Buhari regime ahead of Abacha's.

We will exploit your incompetence in 2023 to keep you out of power.

Your own definition of competency must be anything that leads to backwardness.

Backwardness is considered way forward by you.

Nigeria is wiser now.

Even Abacha regime being undemocratic is better that your Buhari/qpc regime of hunger, poverty and terrorism.

You are very wrong to ascribe the seeming success of Lagos today to one man.

Past leaders and the current leaders must be given their accolades for the efforts they made in Lagos.

Buba Maruwa is still celebrated today in certain quarters in Lagos.

What about BabaTunde Fashola...

What about Akinwumin Ambode....

What about Babajide Sanwo-Olu that is currently playing his role....

Ascribing success to just one Man is telling others that they were just a puppet and their input is meaningless.

Just imagine if Fashola is running for president tomorrow....

What would he campaign with if you ascribe the seeming success of Lagos State to Tinubu

it will because people think peter obi will cast some spells that will make Nigeria stop borrowing and generating more revenues...some bigger phools think...the country can generate more revenue to cater for it needs without taxing the citizens more.. they think we can stop subsidizing petrol and still keep the price constant...they think we can increase the value of naira without floating it..some dunce dont eve know the disadvantage of floating the currency..

if peter truly means well about rebuilding our economy nd not borrow..he will have no choice than to end fuel subsidy...it is that time people will bless buhari more..

Show me one seaport in Anambra, take away sea port in Lagos and Lagos will turn to kastina. and don't tell me that Tinubu built Lagos because Lagos is not Tinubu's home state, charity they say begins at home and what has he done for his state?
As the first civilian governor in this 3rd republic, he allocated to himself a larger part of Lagos economy and you want him to replicate it in the country. Kindly think it through.

If Tinubu has anything to offer, he is the chieftain of the party, he supported Buhari twice, meaning he believes in Buhari, so if that's his sense of judgement. I am not a party to it.

anambra geographically can never host a sea port...go and google search what a sea port is and areas where they are built..

only ogun, edo,delta,bayelsa,akwa-ibom, calabar and rivers can host seaport...anambra can not accommodate more than a river port...which GEJ built but left it useless

Diesel and kerosene that has no subsidy how market and what is the encouraging factor for fuel to follow suit? Why are the refineries not producing till date? Why should we as major crude oil producer be importing fuel? Until all these questions are answered, World Bank and other subsidy removal apologists should shut their dirty mouths! And who even wants the present Nigeria to exist? Are we existing economically as a nation. Rubbish

I don't understand how people reason subsidy cannot be removed it will always be there except we do the needful which is build refineries ,the talk about subsidy portrays us as dumb people, solution is refinery
Without refinery there will be perpetual increase in price which will increase poverty and hardship because the variables are not in your control
Exchange rate, international prices, including freight charges

Why can't fuel subsidy be removed?
How long will it take to build a new refinery and at what cost? Where will the money come from?

Removing subsidy will encourage private individuals to build refineries because they know they can sell and make a profit.

Inflation is already hitting us hard and it will bite harder.... it's just a matter of time.

I already gave answer in a similar question.

Use omoibo to survey what progress and upliftment means.

Compare, in real terms, the life of yanminri in Lagos with that of his brother in kano, in maiduguri, in Onitsha.

Im sure the Ibo in Lagos will tell you life in Lagos is paradise.

You are kidding yourself...the only result you will get is inflation if you can bear it to get the actual results.....

if Nigeria is to stop borrowing today...someone with the guts has to end subsidies which cost us 4 trillion a year and channel it into something productive...in the process of doing that...petrol will shoot up to N500/litre and people will suffer more plus inflations will quadruple...
what ever peter obi channels that subsidy money to will take nothing less than 5 years till we see the fruit of it...can you bear buying fuel for N500 and all the economic woos that follows it?..

Peter Obi will also have to increase taxes to meet the cost of transforming the our economy from consumption to production...some of you retards think all of the countries Peter obi uses as examples in his economic analysis are paying the same taxes we do in Nigeria..you all are kidding.. so you think Peter Obi will magically transform the economy to production without investing billions in USD? where will he get that money from? is it the oil money that cant be sufficient to cater for civil servant salaries alone? or to tax more or borrow loan...

dont worry...as much as i want Obi to win..when we get there..Nigerians will now see what we will face if he truly implements his policy..

remember we dont have power...we manage 3,500MW average when we need nothing less than 40,000MW... tell me where is Obi going to see money to build new transmission lines of such capacity as well as power plant..you think say na beans.. ordinary mambila power plant which is 3000MW from planning had to be scaled down to 1000MW because of the cost...

the Eygpt that changed their story in power....Do you know how much they borrowed...yall are in a delusion..

the leaders that messed up this country are the various head of states...
those were the times Nigeria was looted dry especially when there was no media coverage..our parents the will illiterates so weytin consign them?...just look at how much Abacha stole in USD...you want to tell me if he used that money to fix power..he wont fix it completely..can you compare the cost of fixing our mess today to the cost in the 1980s?

The major problem we have in this country is gross solid corruption that has alienated accountability of resources, hence no amount of taxes or subsidy remover will change anything.


The difference is that the subsidy removed will be looted through a new channel which will eventually make the latter worse than the former.


What the world bank should be stressing is fighting corruption but they won't because of their corrupt nature also.
