Ask yourself, what would Peter obi do?

Where is the money suppose to come from.
Are they expecting us to borrow money again?

Another mindless waste of resources, what's the use of the the stupid NPC..a cc whole agency set up and drawing salaries from the national coffer jus to COUNT PEOPLE!!!! . stupid, useless.there is another funny agency around durumi are of Abuja here..each time I pass by the building,I always lol at the stupidity and wastefulness of the mostly idiots we called leader' here in Nigeria. the name of the agency goes thus: National Auto(matic?) Design (something something) of Nigeria.you will see one funny looking contraption of a car design attached to the agency name..pray,what Auto are they designing there Do they have to set up a whole government funded building for that??car design are mostly privately owned and operated like Benz, Toyota and co..when we have car Maker like innoson motors , whose product can be sighted easily on nigerian roads..wetin come be the meaning of that bulsh1t call national auto design bla...bla bla,of Nigeria nonsense agency abi na department sef many agency simply need to be scrapped! little wonder,the cuntrey is dead broke and heavy debt..!go around Abuja and see all kind of stupid, useless agencies dotting everywhere with big big building !if you see that of National Complaint Commission around maitama,even Bank of America no reach half of that building!oh boy!I just open mouth dey wonder!,just complaint o, Nigeria won't survive another 50 yrs,I just sure of it..the waste is just too much

Stop wasting our resources, write the figures you intend per state and credit our accounts with the money. INEC case has taught us to be naira wise, thank you .

You were able to generate just a paltry

5million naira

And proposed that you will generated

$44 billion when opened

This are the types of statistics

They issues

Before the 100% failure after looting.

The one they give una for election we never see the head.

And it’s not as if the census will be conducted properly sef

NO. TINUBU PLEASE SUSPEND THAT. PLEASE PAY CIVIL SERVICE JUNE 2023 SALARIES FIRST. THANK YOU.

Another opportunity to steal money what have we benefited from census?

Instead of using that huge amount for census why can’t we use estimated figure of 301,450000 as an assumption of the whole process so that we can save a lot of money for another use. AWON OLE GBOGBO

It's amazing how these shameless people will come and call for billions ... all headlines without details ... and are not questioned. He should be presenting a detailed a count of how he arrived at that figure ... and if granted then it can be cross checked to see if all that was presented were carried out . As is ... no accountability.... and the looting continues.

The initial allocated yyy Bi Naira, u don blow am!

If TINUBU administration doesn't prob the formal funds allocated for the failed census under Buhari.,that means this administration is a continuation of corruption.

The staffs you have trained before, now asking for extra funds to do what?

Pure stealing

Primusinterpares:
Pls stop already.

Let's use this money to establish 500 indigenous production companies.

Valued at 500m each.

Spread across each states: that is like 13 companies each.

They will employ at least 200 direct staff each - That's like 100000 jobs created.

The things these companies will produce will be targeted at the international space there by earning us some forex which is the only way the naira can have value.

I wish running an economyt was that simple.

1. Many owners of the selected local companies will also divert the funds for their personal use. Are Nigerians outside government different from those in government.

2. Just throwing free money at businesses sounds good on paper, but it rarely works out well. Like everything acquired without sweat, it will mostly end up misspent. Ever wondered why most lottery winners end up poor.

3. Using zones to select which companies should receive N500m each because you want to achieve a fair spread is a recipe for failure.

4. Some companies may need the N500m but they may not need more than a few additional staff, may be as little as 15 or less. Therefore, the suggestion that each company will create 'at least 200 jobs' is not well founded.

5. The companies will allegedly produce goods that we can export to other countries. Like what exactly.

If it was that easy to produce things in Nigeria cheaper than China, India, Vietnam and at least up to 40 other countries where things can be produced cheaper and exported, Nigeria will already be a big exporter.

Truth is, outside of natural resources and some agricultural products, there are very few things that Nigeria can manufacture that the rest of the world will buy. Ours will simply be too expensive with no guarantee of quality. I guess we can pick up some minor sales here and there in West Africa, but that's mostly it.

We need to focus first on producing for our own internal market.

Abeg they should just suspend this exercise. Not the right time. But if they want to go ahead, then this census shall benefit me and my family

Trust me it's that simple. I have learnt how to breakdown complex things and make it simple.

1. Of course the greed tendency will come in when we will see some persons wanna out smart the government and divert the funds... But that's where the issues of policy and implementation comes in. Government make policy and impliment it to the later regardless.
In developed nations you think there are no people that wants to rip others off? The difference is that they know that if they commit any fraudulent act they will go in for it. Regardless of who they know. Hence they tred with caution.

2. You ain't giving it as father Christmas or some quota system. It's actually like a loan /grant to those that needs it. Trust me there are innovative ideas that needs some few fundings to kick start. And some existing businesses that needs some funds to go larger scale.

3. On the issue of zone, it's high time we explore our differences as a nation. Each zone should be known for something. These companies will be to explore the opportunities in these our geopolitical zones.

4. We are looking at direct and indirect jobs. If a company decides to explore the opportunities in mining and processing of solid minerals like tin, colbat they will need the services of machine operators, engineers to service these machines, transporters, explorers, admin and HR etc. Can you now see the ripple effect of industrialization in job creation and value added?

5. Bros, Nigeria is too blessed. We can actually explore the area of agriculture and collaborate with food companies and start exporting these food items. For instance, we can grow wheat in commercial quantities and process these into various food items like flour, pasta, noodles, etc which can be exported.


We can do all of these things and more as a nation of the government start thinking in this direction.

We might have some issues here and there as we start to build this things but then that's where the Japa gains will come in as those that left will be hungry to come back home with all their wealth of knowledge. Then together we will move this country forward.

Natural resources and agriculture are good but You didn't even mention our super power HUMAN RESOURCES.- It's a gold mine on it's own that we are yet to explore as a nation.

Imagine the intelligence of Nigerians in synchronization with good governence - Am yet to see a nation that can stand us in this regard.

As for focusing on producing for our market is a subtle way of reducing our potential.
