How can you not get it.....

The North is playing the same politics with it....

I've explained this already....

They're hoarding food and using Boko Haram to cause food scarcity and price hike.

Recently, in Kano they said that the Emir tussle will cause more people to carry arms and might be more dangerous than what Boko Haram is doing....

You should know that the North is really trying to control this government but they never said anything all through Buhari's regime.

I get it very well.

I get it that ThiefNuibu’s over smart politics has caught up with him and he should fully bear the consequences.

Did we Yorubas not follow JagaBandit to make Buhari president after lampooning Jonathan?

Did we Yorubas say anything when Obasanjo was president?

What goes around comes around. If we like let’s continue with this tribesmen nonsense that shortchanges everyone. Let’s continue.

EloquentMedia:
UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN SOCIETY, YOU CAN NEVER MAKE ANY MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION.

According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth,

- the idiots,

- the tribesmen, and

- the citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.

The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. THE IDIOTS.
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 write 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.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. THE TRIBESMEN
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 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 CITIZENS
The last group are citizens.

These are people that 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, won’t cheat in exams.

In government they won’t steal.

They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing.

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 about your life.

Reflect about your country and Africa in general before you answer.

Another way of making money. Permits has never been the issue. Where are the building inspectors? How trained are the few inspectors, what tools do they have?

Those are the things that they should be looking at.

And why should the builders pay for the govt incompetence? It's the same government officials that gives out the permits to the highest bidders so, why are they not sacking workers?

Inadequate building inspections because Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu failed to employ enough workers each year for the last quarter century?

Badly trained and inappropriately motivated inspectors, because they are paid poorly compared to state lawmakers like pako-gada-building Desmond Eidiot, therefore they are easily bribed and compromised

immortalcrown:
Does this revalidation mean that the builders will pay more money for another approval of the same projects? If yes, your aim is not to save lives but to scam builders. But if the revalidation is at no extra cost, you are doing well.

But wait oh! Are you saying that you were incompetent when you gave the initial approval?

Good! But, will you inspect completed buildings before issuing the certificate or will you just sit in your office and collect money to give out the certificate?

They are saying they need more IGR as they have said and done since 1999 to make smart Lagosians into brain dead Stalin Stockholm syndrome patients for Yaba left treatment.

No more no less.

Why this is difficult to most Nigerians is baffling. When I say there is something the black man has with logic and mathematics, they will say I am an Uncle Tom. How on earth is this freakingly hard to grasp? Even Nigeria's so-called educated class, aka intellectwats, don't support the free market in its entirety and devolution of powers.

How do you think the apostles’ message of Christianity was received initially?

How did they overcome the initial resistance and rejection to make the gospel global

I already gave the major solutions -

1.) sell off all government companies to private investors

2.) Privatize ownership of land.

3.) Deregulate ALL prices including forex, labour, education and healthcare.

4) Allow States to become more autonomous, delegate more power from the federal government to the states and LGAs. States should even have power over residency, voting rights and police.

5) Abolish all tariffs and controls on imports and exports of legal products

6)Abolish ALL income and property tax and replace with flat VAT or sales tax capped at 10%. If there must be an income tax let it be 1% on the top 1% of earners.

Make new laws and even Constitutional Amendment to impose all the above basic conditions. It doesn't have to the exact outline above but the intent is clear - FREEDOM for the people of Nigeria.

This is the solution. The problem is Nigerians will never support any government that tries to make it happen. So they will continue to suffer this artificial poverty.

All humans are corrupt. The REAL issue is SYSTEMS that provide OPPORTUNITIES for corruption.

Private owners of rice will NEVER give it for free or sell at low price. They will NEVER allow what they produced to become an object of corruption. That is why free market capitalism produces the best outcomes in the world.

Good Luck to Nigeria

Excellent submission except for number 3 on education and healthcare that should be free at the basic level, as well as number 6 on imports that should have tariffs to encourage local producers.

We have to be more free enterprise capitalists and less of government subsidies and control communists.

WeirdAlien:
Last I confirmed somewhere in the north was 7k for a big tuber.

First, you've forgotten how many villagers were killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Benue state - mainly yam farmers. Yam supply has greatly reduced.
Then you forgot how many farmers in northern Nigeria have to pay bandits millions of naira before planting and harvesting. Cost of yam (food) production in those places are in all-time high.
You also forgot the sudden rise in food transportation costs because of fuel subsidy removal.
Now you forget that those farmers would also buy other stuff from the same markets as other people, where inflation has increased all prices. Won't they survive??

If you're indeed a farmer, you would know these things.

Why are you describing our country in 2015 BC, when the clueless, corrupt and incompetent bloody civilian Jonathan was in charge?

Everything changed when ThiefNuibu alone made Buhari president in order to get his own Ebilokan turn to continue APC’s expired leadership failures.

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.

Now, this is the problem I have with the North...

They're the ones causing the hardship and the same people crying about hardship.

We've been reading about Boko Haram demanding outrageous amounts of money from these poor farmers before giving them access to their farms.... The farmers in turn, will increase the price of the produce to meet up with the demands of the terrorist.

The politicians in the North that are using these terrorist to play politics are the same people speaking up against the current adminstration.

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu... But, recall when GEJ used force on Boko Haram and how lots of their kingsmen came out to threaten GEJ. Elrufai in particular threatened to retaliate.

What did ThiefNuibu and his ACN’s Lai Mohammed do then? Did they not say that it was unconstitutional to ban Boko Haram?


Our Yorubalokan people were playing politics with our country’s prosperity, security and welfare as Fayemi confessed about the 2012 fuel deregulation and subsidy removal protests.

They sowed a whirlwind and they are harvesting the seeds of storms, tornadoes and hurricanes.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

He must play his chief mourner’s role since he was naive enough to help ThiefNuibu’s Ebilokan dream.

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

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.

The executive, who reacted anonymously, told THEWILL that the news agency report was the handiwork of “Saboteurs targeting our 650,000 refinery. It is rubbish and this is obviously coming from the same people who would rather continue importing petrol from their refinery in Malta.”

If the state has a monstrous number of civil servants, why is the provision of ordinary water worse than in 1999, such that cholera kills Lagosians regularly?

Why did you fail to list the low cost housing estates that compares with the numbers built by Jakande in just four years of not choking people with IGR?

Gerrard59:
Quite a lot, but from interactions so far:
- They work very hard
- They take full responsibility for their actions
- They follow the law, are disciplined and are very orderly. There is a culture of shame, so people try not to bring it to themselves and their families.
- Based on the shame factor, there is a great emphasis on trust. So, the society has a strong social trust system. Homogeneity aka cultural similarities also contributes.
- Still on the shame factor, people are penalised for their ill-actions. Nothing like Oga abeg.
- Great emphasis on mathematics and related disciplines with accepting data even if they don't like the outcome.
...and many more.

The similarity I have seen with Africans is that they defer to authority. However, the authorities here have been competent, unlike back home.

Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.

Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.

His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.

The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993

It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.

Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.

He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.

“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’

Perhaps you should check out the scorecard of the current governor too. Everyone of them deserves all the accolades they can get for what they've done.

Are you kidding or just love your Stockholm Syndrome suffering?

What industrialisation when Dunlop and other manufacturers have closed factories and religious places have replaced them? Why did unemployment become so high under ThiefNuibu’s APC messiah that he promised to recruit 50 million youths into the army to grow cassava, corn, beans etc?

If Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu are not the worst looters hailed as leaders by their Stockholm Syndrome supporters, then why have they failed to use the huge IGR from the masses, as well as federal allocation plus loans received on their behalf, to employ workers who can maintain the same level of basic government services and utilities that Jakande had in just four years of relative peanuts in revenue? Services and utilities like ordinary water supply to every household and free education for all children.
