Cromagnon: prosperity where, security where, privatisation where? Low unemployment where? Lie small small na
Na Wale Edun and credible data from various sources dey lie small small?
thisweekng: The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.
He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.
He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.” Private sector to drive the economy
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

SadiqBabaSani: Okay Sir, Saraki one of the killers of PDP
Is ologogoro , land grabbing Wike the main killer, with his double agent friend who was the former governor of Ekiti state
Do you think this duo are manifesting the curse placed on them by Sheriff?
anonimi: No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff
Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.
“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.
“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.
Cant you see people using solar powered alternatives all around you? I have one too. It's obvious you and the people liking your comment are not that forward thinking.
Lagos will run it as a special project and calculate it's viability over the next 10yrs. Simple.
Try ooo. Make poverty no wear you clothe and make you assume say Nigerian government will have to fix everything before you do anything in life.
#just saying my own ooo#
Don’t mind him jare.
I don’t know why he is ignoring Adelabu Pẹnkẹlẹmẹs claim of 150 million Nigerians having adequate electricity, which confirms Fashola’s six months promise to fix electricity once Nigerians vote out PDP 11 years ago. This 150 million claim also means that APC change messiah of integrity, Buhari delivered the 20,000 Mws additional power generation promised before we replaced PDP prosperity with APC extreme poverty shege.
Legitbeauru: In a country that still suffers from poor epileptic electricity? You can’t place something on nothing and expect it to stay.
That’s to tell you how the whole thing is a joke for a state that has less than 5% of primary and secondary schools owned by the progressive APC government that has been in office for 27 years with Tinubu’s master plan.
A master plan that has increased budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion, based on higher tax burden on people.
In the past 27 years, did the 4 Lagos progreThief governors employ up to 19,500 teachers? This is the number that PDP’s Makinde employed in just five years.
The failure of Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu in free education for all children, is disgraceful when we consider that PDP’s Obasanjo and Atiku administration established UBEC 27 years ago, to provide federal funds to help the 36 states achieve nine years of free and compulsory education for all children.
AsomughaChuks02: Massive construction work is also ongoing at the Anambra section with flyovers and an interchange coming up.
President Bola Tinubu is doing well for the south east, let's tell ourselves the truth Ndi Igbo.
Are south-easterners using pictures of the incomplete road to pay for the subsidy APC has forced on Nigerians, since 2015 because of their failure to sell petrol below N70 due to massive corruption in their oil sector?
Abi this privilege is only for Yorubalokan BATists in the southwestern part of Nigeria
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.
Alliswell248: The hatr#d is eating you up. She doesnt know you exist.
Next please....bitter people
She doesn’t know Nigerians who work hard to pay taxes, subsidies etc to her husband, which they use for junketing the world
Have you heard of Stockholm syndrome?
BeeBeeOoh: The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerian youths to be hard-working, saying, “There is no food for lazy man.”
Mrs Tinubu said this during a courtesy visit to the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Thursday.
She noted that while the Tinubu-led administration is working hard to provide sustainable solutions to the current challenges facing the country, Nigerians should also work hard to provide for themselves.
The first lady maintained that the government will do all it takes to ensure that Nigerians are not disappointed and called for patience with Tinubu’s administration.
Mrs Tinubu said: “There is no food for the lazy man; even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.
“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.
“God has richly blessed my family before getting to the presidency and we are content with what we have.
“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.
“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.
“We are trying all our efforts to ensure that the economy is stabilised and the masses are living meaningful lives since the removal of fuel subsidy.”
atobs4real: Many headaches and heart failure loading. My heart dey gidigba. Congratulations ma'am.
Headaches and heart failures for the families of innocent northerners who were killed as collateral damage when her husband invited Trump to invade our country under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists accused of Christian genocide
At what point during PDP’s 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace, security and low unemployment with low debt burden, did we have Nigerian sovereignty violated by a foreign country?
insidelife22: Islam, a breeding ground for terror and its supporters since 700 bc
APC, a breeding place for intelligent sounding, balablu empty barrels.
What has changed for better in Nigeria since Tinubu scammed us with his expired Buhari
Maxymilliano: The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him. According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.
tunene66: Soon the real reason behind the matter will be revealed for all to know. Naija we hail thee

aalangel: Good to see Nwaokobia... An intelligent guest on our Political shows.
Based on how Tinubu has wrecked Lagos for 27 years and Nigeria for 3 years, is it clear that sounding intelligent in politics is no guarantee for being intelligent in governance
brain54: Nice one... The floor ticket is now open to Peter obi. Seriously, good to see a party with ideology and manifesto for a change. Let's see how serious and focused they really are. But seems like a good start. We don't want a one party State!
What is Obi's ideology from regional and tribalistic APGA to capitalist PDP, to communist LP, and now ADC that is hosting PDP deregulation and privatisation policy experts?
Are you suggesting that Tinubu is funding these guys to help him lure Obi away again like he did in 2023
Is it not ironic that zero ideology, party-hopping Utomi was the first ADC candidate in 2007?
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.
btaliat: They are both the same. To me, they are not planners at all. You want to wrestle power, and all you can do is to be appealing to empathy, it means you are not ready. Power will be given to whoever is ready for it.
I expect the two of them to have come to a round table, have strategic plans on how to defeat the ruling parry. Unfortunately, they are both being controlled by personal ambition, making ways for Tinubu again.
I just wish there should be another competent person coming out apart from these big three, that Nigerians can vote for.
If you don't just wish to pass exams and get a job but you studied hard, then why are you just wishing for another competent presidential candidate?
Do you also just wish for competent candidates to vote for as your senator, representative, state lawmaker, governor, LGA councillor and chairman
If all you do is wish, then who do you expect to work for what you desire? How much will you pay the person for that work?
Jokay07: Uche, bring this post down. If a man who claims to have won 2023 or came first in 2023 election is afraid of contesting in party primary election, then the man doesn't deserve our votes
Maybe he wants to play into the hands of Tinubu again like he did in 2023 when city boy's covert agent stepped down for him in communist LP labourers' camp.
Isn't it ironic that serial party hopper Utomi was the first candidate of ADC in 2007?

brain54: It's actually obi blocking atiku's path... In the last election atiku came second and obi 3rd isn't it? Isn't obi also a serial decampee at the Verge of another decampment? If anyone is blocking anyone's path it's obi doing the blocking. Or I'm I lying?
Me sef I wonder oh. If Obidientts are logical, they would be doing forever restitution to Atiku and seeking forgiveness from Nigerians for making 2023 easier for Tinubu to have his turn at continuing APC extreme poverty shege he packaged as better change 11 years ago with the Buhari he called expired in 2011.
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
Urgent1Million: Hustle and make money so you too can go to a working country and enjoy your life.

TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood) is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
ayoncox: Great place that emerged from being a ghetto
During his first term as governor, the Lagos master planner used the title of Lee Kuan Yew’s book- From Third World to First- to scam people into bearing heavy tax burden.
Almost a generation later, the state is a detty, smelly disaster of corruption where posh Lekki people are drinking shitty water despite 100 times increase in budget to N4.2 trillion.
How can we allow this wickedness to continue in our midst
judewrites: Black Africa was highly dehumanized by the Europeans/Americans through the Atlantic slave trade.
Sadly, that slave mentality still exists today as most black Africans can do anything, including dangerous sea travel, to emigrate to Europe/America to live a better life economically.
Some Europeans/americas still see blacks in the eyes of the wicked slave traders through racism.
We dehumanised ourselves worse than any other race, and we sadly continue to dehumanise ourselves today in various ways of enslaving our brethren to sell for peanuts to whites and Asians.
Do you know of any other race that raided and captured their own people to sell them into slavery? What other race did that as massively as we did for 400 years?
And how is oyinbo and Asian racism worse than the tribalistic mindset that we use to do zoning and rotation of public office in local, state and federal governments to share the national cake, a pseudonym for corruption?
Galactics: The gravest crime against humanity in Nigeria is since 2015 when the satanic APC took over governance.
Is it a mere coincidence that the ayederu who orchestrated the 2015 extreme poverty shege adopted the surname of one of the recalcitrant slave traders.
Vision101: The telecom sector was only deregulated. Gsm was allowed in because it was the latest technology. Even smaller nations had it. Where are the assets of nitel? Efforts to privatize nitel failed woefully. Atiku and his friends vandalized the once national priced asset.
Privatisation of Nigerian airways to Virgin Atlantic? Are you for real? Nigerian airways that was ran aground? All assets vandalized. Up till now past workers have not been settled their entitlements. Where is our national carrier that replaced Nigeria Airways? Virgin is a British airline and has remained so.
You have not lectured me on the privatisation of Nigeria National Shipping Line. Where is it today? Where are the ships?
You have not told me how privatized NEPA became worse than old NEPA after injecting over 16 billion dollars. We are still suffering it till today.
If Atiku did any wrong, why has he not been prosecuted since 2003 after Obasanjo secured his second term, and since 2015 when APC corruption fighter Buhari was allowed to change Nigeria?
How many billions of dollars have been spent by APC to give 150 million Nigerians adequate electricity, since they have borrowed more than PDP despite removing subsidy TWICE and bragging about hitting higher revenue targets in August to stop borrowing?
brain54: I see it a bit differently though... Its not a must or compulsory that because I complained or protested in 2012 I must protest again in 2026. Is it a job or career? That's not disputing the fact that a lot of those people whose pictures you posted were induced to protest. But circumstances and especially momentum change. I don't blame anyone that genuinely protested against Jonathan. Don't wait for same people that protested to come back again to protest before the needful is done. You can't keep blaming people for how things turned out when no one knows the future. As someone has commented above one thing is certain and that's that the opposition(s) hasn't done enough in taking advantage of the situation because the situation and state of economy and everything generally is even more dire. Back in 2012 tibunu saw the loopholes and took full advantage of the situation. He was at the head and center of the protest!
If the situation is even more dire, then why should reasonable Nigerians wait for opposition to galvanise them into doing something that they will benefit from
SmartPolician: It's not immediately clear if these people protested out of genuine concern for their country or they had an ulterior motive of helping APC win the presidential election.
Whichever is the case, the current opposition is not doing enough to make Nigerians detest this incompetent administration.
What works can ordinary Nigerians contribute in this regard, since we are the ones who are ultimately affected by government policies

fuckingAyaya: They will repent with time. Before you come for me, go for NSA first
Any idea why Tinubu did not delegate the NSA to answer insecurity questions for him in London instead of El Rufai, even though his ACN 2011 presidential candidate was in his campaign team back then

God please intervene. Kidnapping and banditry is becoming everyday experience. We don't know who is next.
Are you asking God to deliver us from this evil currently in Aso Rock
Racoon: The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday said President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration lacks the wherewithal to tackle the country’s security challenges.
The former Lagos State governor therefore asked Jonathan to resign as Nigerian president. The APC chieftain spoke in Ilorin, Kwara State, during the formal declaration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed’s bid for second term in office. @ @ Tinubu said, “I saw the sea of refuges caused by the Boko Haram insurgents and the lies coming from Jonathan’s administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision and creativity. The lies of yesterday are what they repeat today and are what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you. They are lying about the security, toying about the security of this country. I don’t have time to explain the logic of their lies.
‘Why we should legislate against use of thugs’ “But if you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day. In any civilized country Jonathan should have resigned. But if he will not resign, he should wait for our broom, we will sweep him away. I will come back.
“This is just the endorsement of Governor Ahmed, that he will be re-elected by the grace of God with the support of you people here and those outside there. The unemployment situation will be conquered by this administration of APC. We have the vision for the security of the lives of our children.
“The thieves that daily steal your money have not given you any job, they cannot create jobs and they are starving states of funds to pay workers salaries.
The best thing to do is to sweep them away through broom revolution. APC is a party of the masses. It now behooves on you to begin a house to house campaign that this is a party of the masses.”
aswani: I didn't see this period of economic prosperity during PDP years that you said. We can talk about APC anything once we finish clarifying that.
Thankfully Wale Edun saw it and credible data confirms it.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.” Private sector to drive the economy
Vision101: Like deregulation and privatisation of NEPA. Like deregulation and privatisation of ascon. Like deregulation and privatisation of nnpc.
Like the
- deregulation of the telecom sector, - privatisation of NNPC's petrochemicals divsion to Indorama, - privatisation of Nigeria Air to Virgin Atlantic
The overall success of these policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace and security with low debt burden that APC and Tinubu have destroyed since 2015.
