Borrowing money just to pay for recurrent expenditure is the fastest way to kill an economy.

Economy that is already DEAD!

These people are just here to mark present, loot their share, and handover to the next clueless person.

This country is gone... Yet most citizens don't realize it. They are busy fighting among themselves and praying silly prayers.

Almajiri country and leaders... All they know how to do is beg, beg, and beg!

You claim to have been preparing to be President for many years, yet no single clear blueprint on how to deal with pressing issues.

He simply came in and continued the pattern left by his useless predecessor.

Well... I can't really blame the governor.

Most of the bags of rice were probably looted by rice bandits en route to the local government.

Las las, Glazers will bury that club before handing it off to another useless rich American.

By then, the club will be in the class or league of Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

Newcastle and Man United are steadily going in opposite directions.


Well... Next weekend, the players will robustly respond with a resounding LOSS.

cococandy:
I’m so happy for them.

So wait; Chioma was mourning her son and dealing with her husband + those Atlanta ladies publicly degrading her all the while pregnant with twins?

She’s a strong woman. I give her credit because lord knows that’s enough to break a person.

Yeah... She is very strong and wise. No one is stealing her crown now.

David too has learnt some hard lessons along the way... Recently, he has started showing some serious maturity and decorum expected of a responsible husband.

They are both blessed.

Hearty Congratulations to them, especially the couple.


David Adeleke... It's time to grow up and man your home.

CodeTemplar:
Thank you for this response.
The inability to provide electricity is down to corruption and never lack of funds to. I have researched what power projects across the world go for and realize we are being raped and ripped by these heartless people in power.
At 5000MW, Dangote and few other industrialists like BUA may soon generate more than Nigeria does if thy don't already do.

The corruption is ridiculous and fantastic.

Even Lagos with all the massive taxation, more than half of their revenues are being shared by top people in government including the one currently in Aso Rock.

If you put 80% of what Lagos generates monthly in revenue into that State, it will be on the same level with Johannesburg (if not ahead) in terms of development.

I'm genuinely shocked and ashamed that no part of Lagos and Abuja can even boast of 24 hours uninterrupted power supply for up to a month by now.

wirinet:
Meanwhile, IMF will not talk about the monumental corruption in all facets of government.
IMF is blind on the expenditure profile of government which spends 70% on recurrent and a miserly 30% on capital (half of which is stolen anyway)

IMF does not see bogus salaries and allowances of the politicians, its only subsidy and taxes of the poor they are obsessed with.

God bless you... This is precisely what I was talking about up there.

They leave the core issues to beat about bushes.

If you don't tackle Insecurity, Corruption, Government wastages, there will be no way to save and redeem this nation, no matter how much you tax.

JuanDeDios:
Camdan. Scroll up. I already made this point in response to another poster. Yes, you can't tax the poor. We must raise productivity and empower our people first if we're to get anywhere to close to optimal taxation.

Bro, I'm always calm... Me and you no get problem.

My problem is with IMF... They never tell these leaders the whole truth.

Nigeria needs to massively increase internal production, and cut down importation, as a matter of urgency... Infact, it has to become a compulsory national project.

But, this can't happen if you don't clear off Insecurity and Corruption.

When UK, Canada, and others massively tax income earners, no one really complains because the tax to income ratio is reasonable for those living simple and prudent lives... In addition, the revenue doesn't get stolen.

Kennitrust:
like your father

He is right, unfortunately...!

JuanDeDios:
That's what they're geared towards. In a way. We have a revenue crisis, which hamper's government's ability to provide electricity and roads - which are critical for productivity. Increasing taxation should also help curb importation (fewer Champaign bottles will be demanded if you tax the rich), tame inflation, and firm up the naira.

Who exactly do you intend to tax?!! What is their earning power?!! What is their current living standard?!!

Can you extract water from a stone?!

On what solid foundation do you want to extract taxes and raise revenue?!!

You don't put the cart before the horse.

You guys should learn to read and research before throwing theories about...! You have brains for that.

IMF is being thrifty with the truth...!

Without addressing Corruption, Wastage, and Insecurity, no policy will work.

You people play too much in this country...! Na everything una dey joke with.

fergie001:
No rival.... Hope Wins!

It's not like there is even going to be an election in Imo next month. Everywhere just dull...

I heard from a reliable source that most of the citizens have vowed and decided not to near the polling stations... One told me that voting would be pointless since INEC would do the usual.

So yeah... Hope is winning a landslide.

I will just advise them to rig with some intelligence... They shouldn't give the opposition too much to take to court thereafter.

Ebubu:
Evidence don’t lie

Flavour is contributing to instituting Hope Uzodinma’s government in Imo State come next Month November.🙏

Source: Pastor Okezie J. Atañi

Contributing in what way exactly??! Abi, you don't know the millions he has just pocketed??! Lol!

Flavour will show up in SamDaddy's and Athan's rallies if they offer equal or more money... Nothing concern the Nigga. It's just business.

INEC will do the needful come next month for Hope... Then Supreme Court will patiently wait to dismiss any grumbling or complaints afterwards.

b3llo:
Bayo is a vawulence man. He will take trolls head on.

Really??! That's what that office is meant for??! For dragging people like Tiger Gen on social media and chesting insults online??! Udonmeanit!

LegendHero:
If Oseni the aparo journalist mistakenly invite him to AriseTV, the gbas gbos will be deadly.

Jagaban should sign FFK too. I would have preferred Senator Akintola Bashiru but he is currently the APC national secretary.

What about Reno Omokri and the core sycophants on Nairaland defending Jagaban even on an empty stomach??! Where is their compensation??!

Nigerian President just dey dash out appointments like someone settling laborers or thugs after they have carried out an assignment...!

...And here we are shouting about cutting the cost of governance.

Segunbabba:
Fake news alert!
Tinubu did not say such thing. Shettima is the one that said it.
No Fulani man will ever rule Nigeria again. It's the turn of the North Central to rule Nigeria.

What part of the Nigerian Constitution made it their turn??! Can you show us the section, please?

Since it is turn by turn, when will it get to the turn of other ethnic groups??!

You don't need to tell the Supreme Court anything... They have already dismissed it by default.

The same way the Tribunal dismissed the petitions from day 1...!

Even if they had a strong case, the outcome would be the same... No court can remove a sitting President in Nigeria.

If flogging is attached to this Bible verse. Omo. Mvnster

Looking upon a woman, and looking upon a woman to lust after her are two entirely different things.

In either case, it's not up to man or the law court to judge and pass sentences...

Lust takes place in the heart, and what happens in the heart is not evident to any man but his creator, except he chooses to manifest it.


Some religions are just needlessly extreme and oppressive.

99thEnemy:
Ronaldo shouldn't become a fugitive..

He should take accountability for his actions. He should be a role model for justice.

Wait... He should travel to Iran and submit his back and yansh for 99 strokes of bulala??!

Why not ask him to forcefully convert to Islam too.

insidelife22:
I keep wondering what the fVck is wrong with The Iranian government.
Always in a the news for weirdest reason.

Same people that their leader traveled to CNN office, and bluntly refused to be interviewed by Christine Amanpour unless she wore Muslim outfit.


Same people that have been indulging in honor killing of women in the most brutal manner for refusing to marry within their tribes and religion.

Iran is one of those nations that make it extremely difficult for Muslims all over the world to convince anyone that Islam is a religion of peace.

Sigh... This news is less than useless.


See me rushing into the thread to see Ronaldo laid out with his bum facing the sky waiting for his lashes.

Mtchewwww... These head-slamming terrorists are not serious.

A whole new level of Ass licking...!

Interesting and funny how some underfed people actually believed such political clowns speak for them.

As usual, many of them will leave the message and theme of the world commemoration, and use this as an avenue for nudity and seduction.

Apcsupport1:
I don't know why I hate this boy,, like his so prideful, how much does he even thinks he have compared to davido,, and Davido is too calm no matter what

Sigh... That hatred is misplaced and even obtuse.

Everyone is not the same and cannot behave the same way... Wizkid is himself, he is not David and owes nobody anything.
