Burob: Nonsense attention seeking Empty Barrels, Waste Basket Political Association.
Loan concern indeed, the loans the federal government took under President Buhari, when all of u were in the APC together, what did u people do with it?
When were they all in APC together with the expired old soldier that Tinubu invited from retirement in Kaduna to save Nigeria?
Who are those that were with him until 2023, who are now in ADC? How many of them claimed their turn to be president in the last election because they made Buhari president and reinforced his failure in 2019
zoghys: Tinubu definitely has a lot of fault but this is never one of them. Families built communities, communities built local government while local government built the state and then the country. Discipline starts from our individual homes, so the parent of the boy should be held responsible.
What role model is Tinubu to the young ones?
How much discipline can you start in your individual home when the successful people in society are leaders looters like Tinubu
Image123: There are signs that your paymaster will soon support Tinubu. By then, you'd be forced to have sense, at least for daily bread sake.
Is that how you have been forced to have sense, from receiving daily bread palliative instead of jobs promised by your idol in Aso Rock, who is worsening APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege
anonimi: Tinubu sets 3-year economic revival, 50million jobs target
August 29, 2023
President Bola Tinubu who reiterated his commitment to economic revatalisation said he will not permit indolence or any act capable of derailing his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ by any of his ministers.
He gave a marching order to the 45-member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to perform or be ready to be fired for incompetence. @ @ Edun said the Tinubu administration inherited a bad economy with an unacceptable high rate of unemployment, and with inflation standing at 24%.
He said:“Per capital has fallen steadily, inflation is at 24 percent, unemployment is high, you know m are rebasing the way in which it’s calculated. Either way, it is high and youth unemployment is even unacceptably high, these are the key metrics that we have met.” @ @ Edun said: “Clearly, *the Federal Government is not in a position to borrow at this time*. Rather, the emphasis has to be on creating a stable, macroeconomic environment. Stable inflation, stable exchange rate, an environment within which people can come and invest and thereby increase production and further grow the economy; Improve and create jobs and reduce poverty. @ @ Anite said President Tinubu was planning to create 50 million jobs.
She stressed: “In Mr. President’s manifesto during his campaigns, he promised 50 million jobs and that’s our target. We will take it in phases; we are looking at different sectors of the economy that will contribute to this job creation chief among them is the creative industry and the digital economy, and then the agric sector, agro-processing zones, and mining, oil and gas. So we’re very confident that we will achieve this.”
uncleck: Policy has never been the problem of Nigeria.
The political and moral will is what matters more
In this regard, are you supporting the return to office, of those who have been consistent about deregulation and privatisation policies, implementing them religiously for 16 years of widespread prosperity, cheap petrol, low debt, low unemployment, low insecurity, low corruption etc?

In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
anonimi: How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings
Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.
The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.
Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.
The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.
The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.

Madam, democracy is a contest of ideas. It is a test of vision. It is where the people see how you react under pressure, what your composition is all about before they expenrd their highly valuable franchise on you.
If I can walk into a apparel store and test that snazzy pair of shoes before opening my wallet. If I can test drive that new ride before buying it, if the suya seller down the road will give me a 'tasting', then why should my representative not face a contest, a test, particularly a newbie. The risks are just too high.
Why is Obi running away from the contest of ideas in primaries? He did so in 2023 and made it easier for Tinubu to get his turn at continuing APC extreme poverty shege.
Do you think that Kwankwaso is the new Utomi?
Undisciplined, unstable, unreliable, unprincipled, party-hopping Utomi that was ADC's first presidential candidate in 2007 after Obasanjo's 3rd term agenda fell apart.
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
omenka: What haevent you enemies of Nigeria done really? From forming an eastern terrorist organization that also specialises in cannibalism to coup baiting the military, and supporting a country that held Nigerian military personnel hostage. What havent you done?
Nigeria will not only endure but will prosper, much to your disappointment.
How can there be a worse enemy of Nigeria than Tinubu and other ACN/APC leaders looters
Nobody hates Nigeria more than these selfish rogues.
EkoIle1: It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.
The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.
Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.
Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.
It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.
Indeed, no part of the country is immune from the virulent but easy attacks, veritable indices of a failing state. Unfortunately, the tenuous and uncoordinated approach adopted by this government betrays a grossly incompetent disposition which stands at variance with current realities in the country, nay the international community where acts of terrorism are engaged and contained. No Governor of a state in Nigeria is the Chief Security Officer. Putting the blame on the Governors, who have been effectively emasculated, for the abysmal performance of the government at the centre which controls all these security agencies, smacks of ignorance and mischief.
Image123: Reforms are slowly producing what we asked for. i remember when he did something similar in Nigeria last year. i just shake my head that people who don't think but reduce it all to tribe, politics, Tinubu and Obi. Some confab people asked for change of national anthem, removal of subsidies, etc. Government implemented them, you start to shout and mock. Imagine government reforming our electoral system and people started saying yesterday that the reforms were for Obi, and that APC is now suffering for it. Chai and Kai my people. Who do una this strong thing?
When Tinubu said Yorubalokan, was he reducing government to unevolved tribalistic mindset or not?
When PDP tried to remove subsidy in 2012, Tinubu and APC leaders looters shouted and mocked the policy, organising #OccupyNigeria with Buhari's 2011 running mate as the arrowhead, not so?
If Tinubu's reforms in Lagos have yielded 100 times budget growth in 27 years without water supply and less than 5% schools owned by government, why won't he use the same lootocracy modus operandi for Nigeria
Stealing money that should employ well paid workers to provide government services and utilities, to bribe politicians into his party for a stranglehold on the country.
"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.
I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
Sccarrr: you are free to cap nonsense, we dey see your types regularly under foreigners comments on every platforms being super inferior, playing pity cards and y'all are always ignored by them cos nobody wants to associate with a self loathing doomer ....so it's nothing new
Was Tinubu playing pity cards and being a self-loathing doomer when he invited Trump to kill innocent Nigerians on Christmas Day, under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists accused of Christian genocide?
Did we have any similar violation of our sovereignty during 16 years of PDP's
Sccarrr: stop trying to change the narratives, you said the entire Rwanda has access to pipe borne water and after bursting your lies you started grappling on straws.......I haven't said anything about Nigeria water system, stop being delusional
If you are not the delusional one in this conversation with your lies, kindly point out where you saw ENTIRE in my post.
Competition is actually a good thing for business.
Is that why you are a big supporter and financier of those politicians who consistently advocate for deregulation and privatisation, which gave us widespread prosperity, low debt, low unemployment, low insecurity etc for 16 years before we allowed ourselves to be scammed by APC change chants

Gotocourt: Advantage of subsidy removal. The state and Rivers will access cheaper fuel
Indeed, the advantage of subsidy removal that deviously wicked APC leaders looters played politics with in 2012.
Thankfully, APC's wickedness did not deter PDP's deregulation and privatisation politicians from licensing Dangote refinery back then. Otherwise we will be living the propaganda lies of APC and their NNPC refineries.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.
The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”
The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.
It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.
The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”
The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.
It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.
saintopus: Dec 06, 2024 The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai. The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.
The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.
Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.
The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.
The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.
Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.
Sccarrr: stop the miss information just cos you feel the needs to insult Nigeria, Rwanda does not have pipe-borne water in every home across the whole country.Rwanda has major improvements and access to clean water, especially in cities like Kigali, but many rural areas are typical villages....

anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.
But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.
He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
While this is good, it is not good ENOUGH for the giant of Africa.

Should you joke about the money stolen from you by interior ministry officials?
Is that why you are happy to pay forever increasing taxes to Tinubu and his cronies
adenigga: President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to see tax payment as a civic obligation necessary for national development.
Tinubu spoke on Friday at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali.
He said many citizens demand better roads, hospitals and social amenities while resisting taxation and other development-driven policies.
The president said taxes remain essential for financing infrastructure, healthcare, education and welfare programmes targeted at vulnerable citizens.
“Nobody wants to pay taxes. Yet everyone expects development. You want good roads and well-equipped hospitals, but you don’t want to contribute through taxes. The question is: how do we fund development and secure the future of our children?,”[/b]he said.
Tinubu maintained that both individuals and corporate organisations must contribute to national growth through compliance with tax obligations.
“A citizen who pays tax is a citizen. If you are not paying taxes and not exempted, then you are not fulfilling your obligation,” he said.

How as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu moved Nigeria from Consumption to Production in the Last 3 yrs? Answer without blinking an eye.
Hypocrite Obi has your answer without blinking an eye, as he never blinks in telling lies habitually.
bennybuhari: “’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.
“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.
“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.
