Mad people. What is their minimum wage and what's our minimum wage?

A Presidential yacht is a white elephant project at this point. That money can finance 50 thousand Nigeria-assembled laptops at 100k per laptop.

It can setup 10 thousand hairdressers, 10 thousand tailors, 10 thousand cobblers, undecided

5 thousand petty traders 5 thousand generator techs, 5 thousand laptop techs, and 5 thousand phone repairers. All at once.

I support Tinubu but can’t support nor defend him on this yacht nonsense. It is very insensitive at this time. Even if Ghana or Togo has it, we don’t have to copy everything. If it had been proposed and initiated by previous governments as I have read somewhere, let him stop it forthwith.

Daystar7:

Subsidy that they've put back? We are in a for a ride and it'll be hellish. APC did a lot of damage to Nigeria and went away with it and some how retained power, what do you think they'll do now? You don't reward bad behavior cos it 'll only get worse. APC supporters are the principalities and powers that the sensible Nigerians are suffering from. They're oppressing us while suffering themselves cos there won't be APC without them and even this, they don't know. It's painful to see men struggle to feed their children, real pain. How many only me wan help

Wittyness.

Meanwhile some useless Nigerians were and have been defending fuel subsidy removal. Just count how many wasteful spending since Tinubu came to power. The only thing that concerns me and you is fuel.

Everyone should relax, especially the supporters of those 2 sore losers.

The yatch had been in the budget before, but it was never purchased for obvious reasons.

what are the "obvious reasons"?

why is the yatch appearing again in the budget when the same Tinubu claims that there is no money and that Nigerians should tighten their belts?

They want to Spend 5 billion to buying Presidential yansh. They have not yet tabled the annual cost of maintaining and cleaning the yansh o.

After that they will now say they are cutting cost of governance by increasing taxation and not increasing salaries.

Do you even think that these our so called leaders believe that there are components of Nigeria called "citizens"? No! What they see is animals and worthless human beings and that's why they treat us as such.
They know we don't have any powers over them. The only electoral power that we have has been thrown to the dogs owing to the abundant poverty in the land. .... Or how do you expect a hunger battered person not to collect money for voting no matter how meagre it is? They use abject poverty to manourver our thinking and actions. God will judge them!

Use for what exactly?
At this stage in our national history, and with the level of all round poverty ravaging Nigeria, is this what we need? What is the relevance and economic importance of that yatch? 5 billion?

You are not wailing. You are in the comfort of your abode typing from an internet enabled device and drinking tea while some kids will die today because of lack of food. Have you been to IDP camps? Do you know what 5BILLION naira will do for the people in IDP camps?

Young boy, Where is your state of origin? I bet all the schools there are computerized and they all have good chairs and MARKER BOARD. Wouldn't you be more happy as a Nigerian if the narrative was that WE ARE NO LONGER BUYING THE YACHT, WE WOULD RATHER USE THE MONEY TO BUILD MORE SCHOOLS or even renovate existing ones or give scholarships to ? No, it is better we spend 5 billion on luxury.

5 billion naira will give quality scholarship to 1,000 children up to university level (at 10,000,000 naira per child). Imagine adding one thousand more enlightened people to your country for the good of TOMORROW. But No, childish and NARROW MINDED fools like you are in support of spending it on ONE yacht that will incure more billions in license and maintenance fees.

Very good example. Those are countries with good navigable NETWORK of water ways (rivers, streams and ocean). The president of this countries especially, Egypt, Finland and Italy, can very possible use the hatch for 20% of their traveling around their country.
But here in Nigeria, we barely use boats to travel from one community to another community in the same city. In all of our presidents stay in office, he might not use boats 2 times. This is were logic and personality comes in.
It’s greed and disjointed priority and insensitivity that will make a government purchase something it won’t use with such stupendous amount of money in this very critical time of our existence. It shows gross lack of leadership on the part of our government

We are talking of presidential yacht when large population of Nigerian cannot feed 2 times a day.

We need to be talking about something that we improve the economy, not yacht that we will need million of dollars to maintain after procurement.

Our government officials always like to compare Nigeria to other countries when it comes to something that will benefit the government officials, but the same bastards cannot afford to pay Nigerian workers what these other countries are paying their citizens.
