Politics / Re: An Anambra-based Man's Take On Soludo's Clarion Call To His Lagos-based Kinsmen by 9gerian: 11:45am On Jun 27, 2023 |
I think it was the program by Pastor Poju called “the Platform” that projected Obi as different from the rest. Especially when he mentioned how frugal he was, and how he left some surplus in the state coffers. However, Tinubu’s landmark achievements in Lagos in spite of the withholding of funds by Obasanjo’s federal government from Lagos easily dwarfed Obi’s lackluster performance as governor of Anambra for 8 years, evidenced by the comments by Anambra citizens at the time, which were dug out to counter/dispel the big talk by Obi. This was why Obi could not muster more votes in the southwest, else it would have been a walkover in most of the southwest. richie240: 5 Likes 1 Share |

Crime / Re: CCTV Can’t Check ‘one-chance’ Criminal Ring In Abuja – FCTA by 9gerian: 12:35pm On Jun 17, 2023 |
State police will ensure that there is competition amongst the police forces, which will reflect the management style and capacity of the state governor. The federal police will only step in where the state fails, which becomes an indictment, or when the case interstate interstate. Competition creates efficiency in all systems. Then, CCTV and other resources will be deployed efficiently, since no state police will like to be indicted or have the federal police do its work for it. Crime is not so hard to crack with proper police reforms, laws and if properly planned and executed. amoreobansu: |

Politics / Re: Nigerians Accuse Tinubu Of Tribalism, For Bypassing Brilliant Dr. Obiora by 9gerian: 9:14am On Jun 10, 2023 |
Well said. But have you observed that there a lot of igbos in the Lagos State civil service who are mostly obidient who openly opposed the APC in favor of labor party at every level in the last elections? There is therefore a high probability that appointing Dr Obiora will definitely not give the president the confidence of undiluted loyalty to his government and his planned reforms, which become almost equivalent to retaining Emefiele in the position in terms of trust. This may be why he was passed over. Moreover, there is slim chance that if nothing is found against Emefiele then he may resume his duties according to the principle of innocent until proven guilty. This is why this move is not yet a big deal at least until the unveiling of the full cabinet, which must reflect inclusiveness regardless of party sentiments. These are some of the valid considerations I believe. Chekwume16: |
Politics / Re: Fuel Subsidy: You Can't Task The Poor To Pay The Rich - NLC Mobilises For Wed by 9gerian: 7:42pm On Jun 05, 2023 |
1. Those electric buses that Lagos just got should be looked into and arranged for every state of the federation ASAP. They can mix with diesel buses for short to medium terms stability as well. The buses will convey workers across major highways to ease transportation costs for low income workers. 2. Salary review should be done with the private sector involvement so as not to lead to wave of mass lay offs of workers. Both public and private sectors should be supported with low interest loans where needed. 3. The government must reduce its own spending, and ensure that there are no free fuel for any government officials, including the president and all National Assembly members. Everyone must pay premium for pms in solidarity. Anything outside of this is wickedness. 500 per liter is not a joke and should not be for some while others enjoy it freely. Ultimately, the removal of subsidies (dollar and pms) will seriously stimulate the economy and boosts the employment figures. More people will gradually be pulled out of poverty and household income will grow. Disposable income will also grow accordingly and gradually people will be able to afford their usual cravings that look too drastic to forego after all the palliatives provided for their basic needs. For the subsidy removal to succeed, the government has to be absolutely transparent and communicate every little detail of the journey. This is while the NLC in conjunction with CLOs and Media play the roles of the watchdogs that monitors, reports on and protects the commonwealth of the people. Then everyone works together! God bless Nigeria! |
Politics / Re: Prominent Nigerians Who Aren't Igbos Speak Up Against Igbo Hatred In Nigeria - V by 9gerian: 2:18am On Jun 05, 2023 |
Where is the hatred in dispelling the assertions of hatred against other Nigerian tribes especially as I only provided a fresh instance of triggered displeasure against igbos by other nationals. I only showed how the hatred you claim is from other Nigerians appear to be a normal thing, and counting, on the international stage. Some Igbos definitely must be doing something wrong to the extent of being singled out from other Nigerians, which is actually worse. You are actually the one dying not me. Wutinky: 2 Likes |

Politics / Re: Subsidy Removal Is Done Solely For Dangote by 9gerian: 4:27pm On Jun 04, 2023 |
There’s no way I or anyone that is not part of the planning team can have the full picture even after they release the details they want to the public. The reason is that planning will always include contingencies to cover unforeseen headwinds and circumstances. This was why the GMD of NNPCL was confident stating that prices will come down gradually. The current prices are most likely put in place to help the petroleum marketers (who own filling stations) to prepare for higher depot prices, and not be able to create any fuss when the local refineries start and sell at market rates, which I suspect may slightly be reduced the price. And with more competition, the prices will be driven down further competitively. Here a responsible government will be proactive to ensure that there is no collaboration by refinery owners on pricing, and should use its influence and tax regimes to stabilize pricing favorably. Finally, there is no easy way to remove the PMS subsidy because there are very strong forces who do not want that reign of free money to end, and they have a lot of hangers on who will do all to frustrate the stoppage. Ultimately, most nations whether prudent or reckless are currently being confronted with rising energy costs and the threat of collapse due to Russia - Ukraine War and all tit for tat actions that is seriously fueling high inflation across the world economy. This was after the Covid disruptions. Hence the drastic measures everywhere. Just last week Tunisia joined the financially impacted nations that are slowly walking into insolvency. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/tunisias-financial-crisis-leaves-sick-struggling-find-medicine-2023-06-01/ Some months ago it was Ghana: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65622715.amp Egypt: https://www.npr.org/2023/05/13/1176043847/people-struggle-to-afford-food-in-egypts-economic-crisis It’s tough but continuing to leave things to chance may get even tougher, and usually at short notice. This must be avoided at all costs. Finally, President Tinubu must reduce the cost of governance ASAP. The NLC on their part must insist and get involved to ensure that the government cuts down its own bloated costs of governance (especially in the National Assembly) to balance out the effects and have better economic gains for the nation.

Not as simplistic as you put it. It is more of a symbiotic relationship. The FG needs to stop subsidy and needs local production. Fortunately, Dangote had noticed and prepared to help solve a huge chunk of the problem, hence the Dangote refineries. Can Dangote or any other refinery enter the market against subsidized fuel? If yes, will that solve the problem of smuggling and having to subsidize the whole west Africa consumption? Success1981: 1 Like

If you live in the border town, you will find a way including compromising border officials, diabolical means and even attacking anyone who tries to prevent you from benefiting from a very low hanging fruit that is used to compensate for the abandonment (by adjoining countries) that such areas experience naturally as a result of their geographical location.
