EasternActivist:
There is always an improvement during rainy season every year, attributing this to tinubu is very wrong. How many MW has his administration added to the already existing power Nigeria is generating. Besides currently band c,d, e no dey see light

So, why then did you all cry and blame Tinubu for power failure during the dry season since we all know we only get stable power during raining season? Is that not hypocritical knowing fully well nature was at play?

Sonnobax15:

Reno my guy,where do you actually belong to?

He belongs to the category of sensible and reasonable Nigerians who understands the economic situation of the country and appreciate the efforts Mr. President is making to rescue the country from her economic challenges.

Hopefully, the moderators who pushed the blatant lies in Dele Momodu’s post to front page will also push this well articulated response to front page at the right time as well for balanced reading.

Doyin Okupe and other Nigerians also reacted to Rono Omokri’s well researched response.

Response To My Beloved Senior, Dele Momodu: Nigeria's Economy Is Not Collapsing. Far From It! 

Dear Egbon Dele Momodu,

I read your open letter to President Bola Tinubu, in which you said, "Our economy has virtually collapsed", among other things. Respectfully, the facts do not support your assertions, and in your open letter, you did not provide any facts. Only opinions. So, please let me present some facts that contradict your opinions. 

Firstly, only yesterday, the International Monetary Fund projected that due to the reforms being undertaken by the current administration, Nigeria will have a 3.1% GDP growth rate in 2024. This is one of the best projections for an African country in 2024, and does not signal an economy that has 'virtually collapsed.'

Secondly, Nigeria had a record high of ₦6.52 trillion trade surplus in the first quarter of 2024. This has never happened before. We routinely had trade deficits in the past. This means that because of the monetary reforms by the current government, Nigeria is now exporting significantly more than it is importing, and the growth is largely in the non-oil sector.

For example, Nigeria is now a net exporter of clement to Europe and a growing exporter of refined petroleum products to Europe and West African states. Ghana, a fellow petroleum exporting country, is largely dependent on LPG from Nigeria. This projects growth, not collapse.

Thirdly, in terms of revenue, all Nigerian states, bar none, have received significantly higher federal allocations since May 29, 2023, than they were receiving under the Buhari regime. Each state now gets at least 45% more federal allocation, with Nasarawa getting almost 100% more and Anambra getting 70% more, whereas their wage bill has not increased.

The above projects economic strength rather than collapse.

Fourthly, according to Financial Derivatives (FDC), with a Return on Investment of 22.90%, Nigeria's Stock Exchange is now the most profitable capital market on Earth, bar none. Please note that. Bar none. The National Bureau of Statistics has also corroborated this. For the first time in our history, the all-share index (ASI) of the Nigerian Stock Exchange crossed the 100,000 mark in 2024.

I would not categorise such growth as collapse, and I am sure investors who smiled to the bank would not either.

Fifthly, capital inflow into Nigeria increased by 66.27% this year. This is probably why Fitch and S&P Global Ratings upgraded Nigeria's economy to a Stable B, and why foreign inflows into the capital market jumped fivefold in the first quarter of 2024 to N93.37 billion from N18.12 billion in the same period last year.

Sixthly, despite clearing the backlog of foreign exchange debts owed to foreign airlines and other foreign investors by the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria's foreign reserve hit a year-to-date high of an estimated $34 billion this year. How can a nation with such a healthy reserve be said to be on the verge of economic collapse?

Finally, the Student Loan promised is now a reality and is being disbursed. That means Nigeria is about to witness a dramatic increase in its human resources, as more youths will have access to education.

Therefore, bearing the above in mind, is it not possible, egbon Dele, that you may have focused too much on assumption and too little on facts to come to your conclusion that Nigeria's economy is collapsing?

Nazgul:
So technically what NNPC is saying is that even if dangote refinery start refining fuel, they'll still be importing it. Thus leading to a constant increase in the price.

No. They are simply saying they don’t want a monopoly. Petroleum products are so important that the country should not be at the mercy of just one person. Dangote want a monopoly and that will lead to arbitrary price increment.

With competition, he won’t be able to increase prices anyhow. That’s why Dangote is saying they should stop importing.

Zikimani:
How many of them in that room earns 70k monthly? So what and who are they rejoicing for??...better still let's make 70k a general wage for every Nigerian including the president and labour Congress chairman and let the real celebration begin.

Do you understand what a minimum wage is at all? Why should NLC president earn 70k when he’s not on GL 01? Is the MD of First Bank and the lowest ranked worker in the bank earning the same amount?

Typical Ndume. Saraki removed him as Senate leader during the 8th Assembly and Akpabio has to remove him again as Senate Whip of the 10th Assembly. Dude is just so controversial and unreliable. About time he’s voted out of the senate.

Abba Yusuf is arguably the most incompetent governor in Nigeria today. To be honest, that weakling has no business being a governor. Kwakwanso and Sanusi are just pushing him around. He’s a disgrace to the office he’s holding.

Barely two months ago, Ruto was the darling of Obidient and anti-Nigeria elements when he was hosted to a state visit by President Biden. There was no name they didn’t call President Tinubu when the picture below was released to the press. Today, Ruto the US darling is now accusing the US of orchestrating anarchy in Kenya through the Ford Foundation.

Kenyan President William Ruto on Monday accused the US-based Ford Foundation of sponsoring "anarchy" and funding anti-government protests that descended into deadly mayhem last month.

The East African powerhouse has been plunged into political chaos over the demonstrations, which started out as peaceful rallies led by Gen-Z Kenyans against proposed tax hikes but have spiralled into a wider campaign against Ruto and his administration.

Dozens of people have been killed since the protests began a month ago, with the deadliest day on June 25 when angry crowds stormed parliament and police fired live bullets on protesters.

"Those behind sponsoring the chaos in the Republic of Kenya, shame on them because they are sponsoring violence against our democratic nation," Ruto said at an event in the Rift Valley town of Nakuru.

"I want to ask the people of Ford Foundation, that money they are giving out to sponsor violence, how are they going to benefit," Ruto told a large crowd gathered to hear him speak.

"We are going to tell them if they are not interested in democracy in Kenya, if they are going to sponsor violence in Kenya, if they are going to sponsor anarchy, we are going to call them out and we are going to tell them that they either style up or they leave."

The Ford Foundation's East Africa office in Nairobi and the US embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The organisation, established in 1936 by Edsel Ford, the son of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, operates across the world and aims to advance social justice and promote democratic values.

It has offered grants to various Kenyan rights groups and civic organisations for the last few decades.

Ruto, who is scrambling to put the lid on the worst crisis of his near two-year presidency, has previously accused unnamed foreign elements of stoking unrest during the demonstrations.

Street protests have eased off recently, but activists have called for fresh action on Tuesday.

Fraudster.

There is no single sense in this editorial. Not even one.

XerXers:
Aba has greater GDP per Capita than Lagos. You think salary run our economy? You think increase in salary is a wise economic decision? Anyway, free education produced economic illiterates in SW

What is Ava’s GDP per capita?

It will work. That the governor supported someone to emerge as Chairman does not mean the person will continue to follow the governor around like mumu. The governors have always been controlling the councils because they have control of their allocations. Now that they can no longer control their money, the Chairmen can assert their independence once they get into office.

Fubara and Uba Sani are good examples. They were errand boys before but once they got into office, they became men of their own. If they have no control of their states allocation, they won’t be fighting their predecessors.

VULCAN:
He is the greatest living Black President in the world and perhaps even in history.

How he was able to take a war-torn country that was divided against itself and turn it around to become a prosperous nation where the tribes live together in harmony should be studied by every political scientist.

Let him rule for another 8 yrs then step down after selecting someone who believes in excellence as much as he does.

Rwandans are happy with him so why should anyone else put mouth?

Lol. Kegame is a bloody dictator who has silenced all forms of dissent in Rwanda. He will not handover to anybody. His intention is to rule till death and then have one of his children takeover from him.

It’s only a direct military coup or a democratic coup like we saw in Zimbabwe between Mugabe and Mnangagwa that can remove him from office.

DevilsEqual:

State wey Dem dey pay 18k minimum wage


Omo, no wonder Dem dey always create thread to lament about hardship

Even the 18k, the werey governor still dey owe. Abia local government workers were the first to celebrate the Supreme Court judgement on local government autonomy. Says a lot about the situation on ground in those places.

Stay in your state and develop the place. Lagos is over congested already. Don’t go and add to the problem of Lagos. Develop your state to Lagos standard.

DatNiggaDaz:


Liar, you will not succeed for your evil to hide this threaf. Now it is an old digging news because it involves your parapo criminal brothers who have been destroying the name of Nigeria abroad & then turn around to heap the blames on our hardworking brothers from the East.

Your criminal activities overseas will be exposed to let Nigerians know those who have been destroying the image of Nigeria & then blame another group of people.

Below is a Nairaland thread from 2017 when the judgement was given. Whatever you guys want to achieve with this is your problem but when others start digging up cases, no one should cry of bigotry.

let see if this thread will be pushed to the front page like the way they quickly push fake news about our neigbours & brothers from the East.

This judgement was given 7 years ago. Some funny Obidient and Ipob guys went to dig it up and started sharing it as breaking news as if it happened recently just to shore whatever cheap points they think they can score.

If the rest of us start digging up old cases, na una go tire.

Saka should take some credit for that goal. He created the chance even though he did not give the final assist.

Your point is invalid

Mr. Statistics, I have provided another well researched data about Buhari’s appointment for you. It’s a good sample size as well and it was done by Businessday. So tell us how SW got all the appointments under Buhari again?

All through Buhari’s administration you Igbo guys did everything humanly possible to demonize him. Igbos led the attacks on Buhari and called him all sorts of names. The nepotistic badge was stamped on him by you guys. Now that he is out of office and you are seeking validation from the north, you want to turn around and accuse the SW that stood solidly behind Buhari for 8 years of a crime you guys committed.

I always laugh at the folly of some of you guys. You think you are smart but the north and SW are just laughing at you. A Yoruba man is currently the president. When he’s done, he will handover power back to the north. Nobody will handover power to you guys no matter the sneaky behavior you put up. The north don’t like you and they know the game you are in playing.

mrvitalis:
Any body who knows statistics knows that the data I provided is enough sampling size to make an conclusion

Your point is invalid

When President Muhammadu Buhari made his first set of appointments in July 2015, not a few Nigerians saw the appointments as divisive and heavily tilted in favour of the North and against the South. Indeed, many pointed out that the appointments violated the Federal Character Principle.

To be clear, section 13, subsection (3) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria states that “the composition of the government of the federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also command national loyalty”.

But despite this provision, there were those who did not see anything wrong in the appointments. The president did not violate any constitutional provision; he had the right to choose whomever he wanted to work with, they had argued. Moreover, they said, it was too early in the day to cry out. They said those who criticised the president’s appointments were too hasty in their judgment and argued that the president needed time to carefully consider those he wished to work with so as to make the right choices.

“I think we should allow the Buhari administration find its feet. The administration is studying the situation of the country, because the APC met a totally broken-down infrastructure and system in the country,” Alfred Ononugbo, a special assistant to Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, had said at a press conference in Lagos.

However, when subsequent appointments unrepentantly followed the same trend, such that at the end of the day all major security and law enforcement positions, with the exception of the Chief of Defence Staff and the Chief of Naval Staff, went to Northern Muslims, these diehard Buhari supporters stuck with the old maxim: see no evil, say no evil.

While some prominent members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) continue to evade the question regarding whether or not President Buhari’s appointments are skewed in favour of the North, BDSUNDAY research shows that out of 100 political office holders appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari since he came to office in 2015, 81 are Northerners. This is excluding ministerial positions which are statutory according to the provisions of the 1999 Constitution. This is not to say that Buhari has made only 100 appointments since 2015; 100 is the number that our intensive research was able to track.

Some pundits contend that it was Buhari’s obvious and apparent inclination towards regional preferences in appointments, encapsulated in his self-professed ‘97 percent-5 percent’ principle, that led to an escalation of ethnic and regional grievances in the country, manifesting in the self-determination agitations and calls for restructuring and ‘true federalism’.

But others are looking at 2019. They say given everything that has gone down so far, not even a repeat of the famous “I belong to nobody, I belong to everybody” mantra, which endeared him to even his political opponents in 2015 when he took over Nigeria’s seat of power, would save Buhari and his ruling APC in the next round of elections.

Yinka Odumakin, spokesperson of Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, said the various agitations to end the entity called Nigeria are directly linked to the issues of President Buhari’s appointments, lamenting that when discussing national security, certain sections are not represented, a scenario he described as unfortunate.

“We have not run an inclusive government in the last two-and-a-half years or so and that is evident. And when you look at Nigeria, when they hold the meeting of Security Council today, apart from one or two nominal people, the whole people there are all from a section of the country. If you look at other appointees, every agency that bears arms is headed by people from a section of the country. This is why Nigeria is so fragile at the moment,” Odumakin said.

“If Buhari wants to contest the 2019 presidential election, he has the right to contest and Nigerians have the right to make their feelings known. If the president refuses to amend his pattern of appointment, then Nigerians have the right to look elsewhere for a president. Nigerians are not idiots. That is why we still insist that restructuring Nigeria must take place before 2019. The National Assembly may not be listening to the issue of restructuring now but they will when the demand gets tough,” he told BDSUNDAY.

Chido Onumah, coordinator, African Centre for Media & Information Literacy (ACMIL), said the constitution provides that the president of the country should do everything necessary to ensure there is national cohesion and unity, and that no group, religious or other forms, is seen to be dominating others.

“The president has a duty to ensure that he is not perceived to be sectional or seen to be representing one group against the others, and so on. The president has a constitutional duty to ensure that no group is marginalised. I think the word ‘marginalisation’ is even used in the constitution. It is a constitutional matter; and going by the statistics you just gave me now, it means that the President in breach of the Constitution,” Onuma told BDSUNDAY.

According to him, some of the agitations in the country today are tied to the president’s appointments, whether rightly or wrongly, saying that the arguments in some quarters that Nigerians should be asking whether those appointed are qualified are baseless.

“There is no part in Nigeria where you cannot find qualified Nigerians. Looking for qualified people from only the North does not help us as a nation. Nigeria is not just about economy and GDP; it is also about politics, social cohesion, national unity and all that. For you to grow the GDP you have to have a country. It is the individuals who live in the country that make up the country. And so, we have to come together and agree how we can work together in peace and harmony,” he said.

Igho Akeregha, president, Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO), who said he has followed very keenly the appointments made by President Buhari since assumption of office as well as the reactions by cross-sections of the Nigerian population both in Nigeria and overseas, noted that almost all sensitive political appointments made by the president, including those on the strategic institutions and security, have left a wide gulf between the North and the rest of the country, women and men, as well as Christians and Muslims.

He said President Buhari’s appointments, which are “sectional, unacceptable and an act that would promote division”, have encouraged acrimony and denial of a sense of belonging to certain sections of the federation.

A government that claims to be fighting corruption, he argued, must as a matter of fact respect the laws and run away from tilting towards executive lawlessness which is not an attribute of democracy and democratic norms.

But Debo Adeniran, executive chairman, Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL), thinks differently.

Adeniran said that in making his appointments, President Buhari was probably concerned with picking the people knew who could deliver on his electoral promises to Nigerians, arguing that the question that should therefore be asked was whether those appointed were qualified or not.

“You can’t say that you are leaving a qualified person that you know behind because he or she is from your zone and go for a person that is being recommended from a far land without the experience you are looking for. Nepotism cannot be removed entirely from Nigerian politics because there are people who want to impose their own candidate on the president. Many of the officials like Babachir and Malami who are causing problem for the president now were imposed on him by certain people,” he said.

He, however, observed that the president could silence his critics by justifying his appointments through aggressive performance, saying that woeful performance is the primary reason most Nigerians take into cognisance the state of origin of the president’s appointees.

mrvitalis:
Bros if you have counter data provide or shut up

If you don’t have full data, shut up and stop bandying false and misleading information around.

That road is long overdue for reconstruction.

mrvitalis:
What does that have to do with the fact I presented?

Obi is not good but he is better than anything APC can produce

Next!!!!

Ogun State in South-west Nigeria has the highest number of political appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari since his re-election in 2019 holding 17 out of a total 190 appointments, a document exclusively obtained by PREMIUM TIMES has revealed.

Above is from the link you provided.

To start with, Buhari ruled from 2015-2023 so it is extremely silly for anybody to take the appointments he made from May 29, 2019 to early 2020 as the total number of appointments made by the Buhari administration. If you want to argue, present the data from all the appointments made by Buhari from May 29, 2015 to May 28, 2023 when his tenure ended.

Using only the data of early appointments of ministers, SA, SSAs etc made in 2019 when he was just re-elected is disingenuous. What happened to the appointments made before 2019 reelection? What about the appointments made after 2019?

Buhari made over 10k appointments in his 8 years tenure. Using a data showing just 190 appointments shows how deceitful some of you can be.

Who could be behind the shooting? So far so good, Trump has been the major beneficiary of the incidence. The entire country has rallied behind him. If there was any doubt about him winning the election, today’s shooting just made it easier for him. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but there is more to this shooting than just one loner trying to act alone. I think it was well planned and packaged to get the current outcome.

obonujoker:
I didn't support any PDP in Osun.

Moreover this is bad

It is still better than Obaseki and Adeleke’s WAEC results.

obonujoker:
Honestly, if this is his result.

Then he's not for to become a governor. Is this how this country has fallen??

Someone that cannot use this result to be a private primary school teacher or even learn tailoring, will want to be a governor?

Why would the APC give ticket to such a failure as this?? Well maybe it's a doctored result.

Should I show you the result of the PDP governor of Osun state that you all supported?
