IpobAntidote: There are food banks in Atlanta also. There are many people on food stamps in the US including some Nigerians.
Is this how Tinubu’s master plan has made him collect IGR from the masses and receive loans plus federal allocation on their behalf without employing government workers to provide services and utilities
The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.
At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.
The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.
Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.
IpobAntidote: Rubbish Even here in the US, Nigerians will queue in line to collect anything free. Nigerians love freebies. Go to any church in the US and see how they will be fighting over food as if they don't have food in their houses. Come to any Naija party and see how they will be looking for togo packs for left overs like hungry people. These are people making good money but they still like frre food. BTW, didn't people queue for Eba in Abia before?
Is this how you inspire yourself to be the best version of who God made you to be- by benchmarking the worst possible person around you
efemena5050: Some of those idiots u see there queuing actually voted for the thing holding the country down....some must hv sold their votes then for rice,beans ,oil and 2 cubes of maggi seasoning......
Nigerian remains the shafts of Gods creation owing to the way we behave.....
This is why all of us are 200 million mumus.
Don’t we all support our own personal persons who are looters in the name of tribal leaders for local, state and national governments in the legislative and executive branches
Typing: Majority are Tinubu's supporters. Na them dey suffer this hardship pass. Especially the ones that support him online.
Yorubalokan don turn to ebilokan continuity of APC shege since 2015.
Will this be enough suffering to reformat our heads away from tribesmen politics for zoning and rotation in sharing the national cake
edet19892015: Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth, 1. The idiots, 2. The tribesmen, and 3. The citizens.
Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they sit for exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.
In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen
3. The last group are "Citizens". These are people who like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams. In government, they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".
Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation. And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.
But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.
Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life. Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.
Difrent: Most farms in the South are for cash crops cocoa, cashew, palm oil, The north has its cash crops too like sesame seeds , ginger , moringa, etc
How is oil palm FRUITS that are processed for palm oil a cash crop
tsdarkside: move yourself from enugu to lagos and find out how much it costs.... do you realy think the trader will take over the cost of the transport to bring the food nearer to you....??
Same thing happens with garri, fufu, plantain, kola nuts etc grown in the south and transported to the north. Not so
This Reno retard is really working hard for the slave wage Tinubu and APC are paying him.
How is Sanwo Olu an excellent governor in five years of mega debts plus huge federal allocation and IGR compared to Jakande
How many people have been employed by Sanwo Olu and his three predecessors since 1999 to deliver their progressive agenda in government?

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
Since 2015, how many of the oyoyo promises made by Tinubu and Buhari have been fulfilled?
What aspect of your life is better today than it was in 2015?
Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
Zionmdde: There is no essence in lumping people with completely different ideology, hatred for each other together in the name of one Nigeria and protecting the stupid British experiment
Now decades later the country is a complete mess. Failure in multi dimensional aspects. Most people are willing to japa at any given opportunity. . What was the essence of the war again?
Those who lumped us together left 64 years ago.
Why have we failed to unlump ourselves since then? Singaporeans and Malaysians separated in 1965, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis separated in 1971. India was split into two at independence in 1947, which was 13 years before we got independence.
Azikiwe, Awolowo and Bello didn’t want to rule smaller countries in 1960, because they EACH obviously thought they would be the one to rule the bigger Nigeria.
SIRAO: Well said. Agriculture is profitable venture and people expect farmers to labour in vain
If agriculture is a MORE profitable venture then why is it not the major employer of labour and the highest contributor to GDP in Canada, China, Singapore, Japan, America, Britain and other developed countries that we are fasting and praying to japa to
tsdarkside: because you have to transport the food from north to south.... thats alot of kilometers....from lagos to borders in the north is around 2000 kilometers....
duhh....
What of the capacity to pay a high price in the north vs the south?
Are northerners as rich generally, compared to southerners?
Do you have southerners begging and hustling menial jobs in the north, compared with northerners doing these in the south?
revived2: I'm not among 🙂🙂🙂 Nevertheless these leaders at the top are clearly clueless
Clueless leaders at the top, whether in power or hustling to get their own hands on our commonwealth
[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.
Journalist: how do you intend to engage members of your party who are members of the house, so that they can stand different.......?

Has Tinubu’s master plan not been collecting taxes and raising IGR from Lagosians since 1999, with nothing to show for it
Realdeals: Jakande @ 90: 9 Achievements of Alhaji Lateef Jakande as Lagos Governor
1. The first governor to present a billion Naira state budget in Nigeria.
2. He phased out the shift system in Lagos schools in three months. He built functional classrooms to absorb those who only attend schools for three hours a day.
3. He opened up what is now known as the Lekki Corridor.
4. He built the biggest Housing estate by a state government at Abesan, along with five other estates.
5. He built LASU, LACOED, LASPOTECH and Technical schools to absorb the products of the free education policy.
6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.
7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.
8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.
9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.
Ebilokan shege for all Nigerian taxpayers to underwrite the nauseating luxury of our president, his wife and cabinet.
Nigeria’s government budgets for SUVs and president’s wife while millions struggle to make ends meet
Nigeria’s lawmakers on Thursday approved the new government’s first supplemental budget, which includes huge allocations for SUVs and houses for the president, his wife and other public officials, sparking anger and criticism from citizens in one of the world’s poorest countries.
In the budget presented to lawmakers to supplement the country’s expenditures for 2023, the government had allocated about $38 million for the presidential air fleet, vehicles and for renovation of residential quarters for the office of the president, the vice-president and the president’s wife — even though her office is not recognized by the country’s constitution.
Is this why he is dashing us cups of rice and loaves of bread instead of the promised 50 million jobs?
Is this why our senators and representatives approved a supplemental budget for more luxury goods for Tinubu and themselves?
Kalu should go and get the lost bolt in his medulla oblongata.

ALTERNATEID: lol. You can’t get an immediate impact. PMS is not imported on cash and carry basis. A lot of these transactions are done on credit. Even if we don’t import anything for 6 months, we will still keep paying for what we’ve imported previously and servicing our debts. There is no immediate gain. It takes time for the gains to start trickling in.
How much time will it take for Tinubu’s short term goal of N300/$1 to be achieved, with all the fuel imports reduced stories
Dollar Rate Hits N463.67, Tinubu Plans To Cut Exchange Rate To N200
The Naira faces possible devaluation going into the year, considering Nigeria’s President-elect, Bola Tinubu, plans to end the multiple exchange rate regime.
However, one of his plans is to raise the value of the Naira against the Dollar to ₦300, then ₦200/$1 in the next four years by collaborating with the CBN to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy.
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years,” Tinubu said.
If Tinubu and APC are not telling lies as usual, then why is the Naira exchange rate getting worse despite the reduced need for dollars to buy imported fuel
fabian063: why do u support this demonic government. Are u an agent of wickedness that don't have human conscience. I haven't seen this level of wickedness before
If you are not a wicked person, then why would you say that I said something that I didn’t say?
Please point out where I supported this demonic government?
mmauton: Standard debt ration "you are meant to MEET" so it is a requirement to be in debt to a percentage...
This is the kind of requirement that the olodos in Alausa know how to meet.
They are cluelessly incapable of meeting the requirements for a world class city in services and utilities like water supply, free basic education and basic healthcare for all.
Melagros: COMRADES are speechless, why wouldn't the concerned citizens be worried about the raising debts profile for the state? Especially when there's nothing to show for it
Absolutely nothing to show for it in the numbers of government employees who are improving services and utilities, compared with the achievements of Jakande, Mobolaji-Johnson and Awolowo in the same state.
