Nairalander248: As you no get data to watch the video. He is saying his cook was killing cow to cook for 50people and he stop them, telling the cook to cook for him alone
Cook for him alone in the state house?
You guys don’t know how to cook up your fake stories, just like Obi does not know how to be a godfather like Tinubu is for Lagos.
What a shame.
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
…………good at telling lies and fake stories like this one about cows
aduboy: Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.
Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.
He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.
“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.
“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”
Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.
“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.
“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”
According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.
“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”
AMINDA: Where is the lie in what he said? It was common knowledge that government houses during his era used to kill one cow a day. You may criticise him for being stingy but frugality is what is expected with taxpayer's money.
The lie is that the story doesn’t add up to other things that the lambarama has done.
NLCreator: 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.
AMINDA: Before awarding the Kano-Maradi rail, Amaechi had completed the standard gauge Abuja-Kaduna rail inherited from Jonathan, awarded and completed the Lagos-Ibadan Rail, awarded and completed the Warri-Itakpe railway, and awarded the Kaduna-Kano railway. Amaechi was minister of transport and not minister of works but he is an achiever! Tinubu had only one job, connect Ibadan to Abuja and connect Itakpe in Kogi to Abuja and the whole country would have been practically linked by rail from the North to the South to the West. He chose to spend trillions on a 700km Coastal road that has long been commissioned at 47km and renamed after himself.
Commissioned 47kms of a 700km road and named it after himself?
Why should Tinubu not be named the master strategist of 419 scam
If only Chicago was a city in Saudi Arabia or China, we could have been saved from this wicked balablu bulaba master strategist of Stockholm Syndrome suffering.
The worst rogue politician who promised to crash petrol prices below N185 before he grabbed power to worsen APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege.
The amalanomics confusionist who said he stopped borrowing because of hitting his higher target in August but has borrowed more than previous presidents who gave us cheap petrol and cheap dollars.

The balablu bulaba master strategist of propaganda politics has always been a wicked leader looter. The biggest surprise is how he ended up being the doyen of politicians.
anonimi: Nigeria: Pensioners Urge Tinubu to Pay Arrears
26 March 2003 This Day (Lagos)
Lagos — Pension teachers in Lagos State under the aegis of Teacher Pensioners of Nigeria (TEPAN) have urged Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to review his stance on paying the harmonised three year old outstanding pension allowance or risk losing their votes.
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of TEPAN, Mr. Ayodabo 'Lade, accused Tinubu of failing to pay the arrears to teachers on their correct pension grade since the year 2000, contrary to what was obtainable in other five States of the South-west controlled by the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
anonimi: Nigeria: Tinubu imposed Fees on LASU - another major attack on Education
06 June 2006
Back in February two Lagos students were killed by police as they protested against the recent hike in school fees. In some cases fees have been increased a hundred times over. This is making it practically impossible for poor and working class Nigerian children to get an education.
"The Lagos State university students' union in conjunction with the NANS zone D and NANS JCC Lagos Axis berate the satanic increment in LASU school fees and the killing of some students of LASU during the peaceful protest against the increment in school fees. And call for the immediate reversal of these exploitative fees as a prerequisite to let the less privilege have access to Education".
These was the first paragraph in the leaflet issued by the students' union alongside with NANS zone D and JCC Lagos in February after the students' protest against the fees, which led to the killing of two students by the police on the command of the Lagos State Government.
It will be recalled that immediately after the appointment of a new vice chancellor last year, December 2005, the Tinubu regime of Lagos State announced to Lagos residents that the government could not afford to subsidize education and that in line with the ‘reforms' in the education sector, there cannot be any free education. The university authorities were directed to increase the fees from 250 Naira for old students to 25,000 Naira, while the freshmen's old fee of 1, 000 Naira was increased to N35, 000. This increment exclude the acceptance fees N10,000 introduced earlier to the fresh students two years ago.
It is very important to note that even while the official school fees were placed at N250 earlier, an average student still pays as much as N25,000 to the university or its agents. This takes the form of handouts, registration fees, etc.
Not excluding the current attempt to deny the children of the working class education by the newly imposed post-JAMB test, according to ruling elites, it is to checkmate examination malpractice experienced during jamb exams but from reality, it has been confirmed as another conduit pipe through which money is generated and siphoned without question. This post jamb fee in LASU is N2,000. All these fees stated above do not include various expenses to be incurred while going through the registration processes.
The Tinubu administration carrying out these attacks on students is a master of deception. Towards the end of his first four years, he became one of the most hated governors in Nigeria as he committed enormous atrocities against workers, students and rendered many people homeless. The sacking of over 10,000 workers in 2001/2002 over the N7,500 minimum wage protests is still fresh in the memory of the working class despite the treachery of the labour leadership.
Atiku has always been on the right side of history with the people of Nigeria. Consistently so, even at the risk of his own political ambitions, like in 2007 when he chose to be loyal to our constitution when Obasanjo tried to be life president through his 3rd term agenda. He led other democracy heroes to kill the bill in the NASS.
One can't say the same for the serial betrayer of Yorubas, southerners and the entire country. The master strategist who begged Buhari to be president after APC invited terrorists to destroy our country.
byinks: Obi is just an APC pseudo opposition. I've always known. Leave Atiku, what's your own manifesto ? None right ?
Obi's manifesto is to help Obasanjo block the man who rescued him in 2019 from the political wilderness that Obiano consigned him after chasing him out of APGA five years earlier, based on his failed attempt to be his godfather.
In doing ingrate Obasanjo's bid, he has unwittingly made himself a tool in Tinubu's fight to grab power, and run with it cluelessly like a headless pig.
As it was with Utomi in 2023, so it is with Kwankwaso in 2027, since that one is clearly focused on 2031 with NDC owner, Dickson as his running mate if Tinubu fails to get a 3rd term for life president as Obasanjo failed 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.
tobenuel: Make nobody address Mr Elumelu as Tony again
He should also stop telling us fabulous stories about 90% reduction in oil theft to cover up the failures of Tinubu, for whom he arranged an SPV loan of $3.3 billion from Afreximbank at the outrageous rate of 11.85%
If oil theft has reduced significantly then why is Tinubu borrowing more than previous presidents who didn’t remove subsidy?
Juliette5803: Poverty is really a tool in the hands of politicians
Is that why Tinubu is the master strategist of Nigeria politics
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.
AMINDA: "Tinubu’s courtiers may clap because FAAC allocations have increased, but hungry Nigerians cannot boil FAAC figures for dinner. Businesses cannot power factories with presidential speeches, workers cannot pay transport fares with macroeconomic grammar, and parents cannot settle school fees with statistics manufactured for State House applause”
- Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
"Na statistics we go chop" is now force-feeding us with cooked up statistics. I prefer this version of Then and Now. It resonates more with the lived realities of Nigerians. Imagine listing fuel price rising from 185 naira to 1400 as an achievement. Surreal! APC go gaslight you but don't panic.
The master strategist of Nigerian politics is hiding real facts that matter, while sending the wife to console us with akara empowerment in the absence of the 50 million employments promised by her husband.
Nigeria’s ‘Biggest Economic Threat’ Is Unemployment, But Data to Guide Policy Missing for 14 Months
Nigeria’s top economic risk for the 2026 economic year is unemployment but the country has not published any official labour statistics to measure its rate since November 2024, FIJ has found.
On Wednesday, the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report identified lack of economic opportunity and unemployment as Nigeria’s leading threat for the 2026 economic year.
The report also identified inadequate public services, economic downturn, inequality, and crime as the next four threats to economic stability in 2026.
Unemployment is serious enough for international observers but the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has not released Nigeria’s Labour Force statistics, however controversial, since the second quarter of 2024.
SILENCE SINCE METHODOLOGY REDESIGN The NBS has been in the crossfire before for publishing Labour Force Data late in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, the bureau attributed the delay to an overhaul of its survey methodology.
At the time, NBS said it wanted to align Nigeria’s labour statistics with international best practices and ensure data quality and sustainability.
But the resulting data caused chaos. According to the NFLS published at that time (q1, 2024), only about 4.3% of Nigerians were unemployed. The data introduced new types of labour categorisation in the report.
Per the new method, anyone who works even minimal hours in a week is considered “employed”. The reliability of official figures was questioned by labour unions, business groups and even economists.
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), for instance, described the reported employment statistics as unrealistic. Chris Onyeka, the NLC’s National Assistant General Secretary, called the report a “voodoo document” and a “fabrication designed to mislead the public”.
Similarly, Gabriel Idahosa, President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), said, “The technical improvement in the employment rate is more of a way that employment is now calculated; but the reality is that the economy is not looking like an economy where unemployment is significantly reducing.”
Since then, the NBS has not made any attempt to publish labour data.
seunmsg: This is the positive trajectory of our economy that these empty and power by hungry hyenas (Peter Obi and Atiku) want to come and destroy. We shall do everything position to ensure these gains are sustained for the benefit of Nigerians.
Tinubu himself confirmed that he has destroyed the country, so why not just agree with him
anonimi: May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
Nefort: This is a terribly low IQ comment. So because Tinubu and Peter Obi support subsidy removal there is no point for Peter Obi to unseat Tinubu? Is subsidy removal the only contested issue in Nigeria? What a load nonsense
What are the other contested issues that Obi disagrees on with Tinubu
NLCreator: 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.

You were defending gej for the failed 2011 subsidy removal, now you are saying bringing back subsidy is a good idea.
We will all be alright las Las.
We are all alright already with Tinubu paying subsidy with a different name and hiking petrol price simultaneously.
Who is a more wicked politician than the amalanomics expert in balablu bulaba propaganda?
anonimi: NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024
November 26, 2025
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.
This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.
The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.
According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment. He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.
Ofunaofu: Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years
• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio
•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency
A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.
The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings. > > According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.
The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.
The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.
“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.
It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.

tonesky: Absolutely true. Everything about that man is so fraudulent, criminal, and high deceit. What would you say about a man that hired fake pastor's and Bishop's.
It’s understandable that a fake person would have equally fake pastors around him.
HacheNoire: What sought of early morning gibberish is this?
Atiku needs to fire his media team before they strip of the little respect he has left as a states man!
Did any one argue with Atiku that, that was not the sole aim of subsidy removal? Was otherwise stated?
Based on our population and demands, we needed to enact a trajectory that would improve fiscal savings, market efficiency and same time, ease the pressure on foreign exchange.
No time as anyone said it wasn’t cost passed unto consumers and I don’t know ware Atiku and his team are making up epistles about what’s not from.
Cost passed on to people so that Tinubu can get more luxury lifestyle at our expense
chisomkachy: Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.
The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.
Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.
Willy2025: This is the absolute truth. The first time I see Atiku talking with common sense. Nigerians are using the largest part of their income to pay for fuel or transportation. It costs an average of 130k to fill ur tank to move around in a week. How much is the monthly salary? This has brought untold suffering to many households. Govs are collecting an average of 15 billion naira a month without any corresponding effect in the lives of the people in the states.
Can you give just one example of when he spoke without common sense
Dahlya: Like seriously, they will be feeling like their country is better than Nigeria and is the ultimate place to be
If it’s not better than Nigeria then why are we doing japa to get there instead of them hustling to make it to Nigeria by all means
Do you know that they now have the biggest economy in Africa since APC destroyed the prosperity handed over to them 11 years ago by PDP deregulation and privatisation experts
WRLDBEATERZ: Reserve dey rise poverty index dey rise.confused government
That’s amalanomics, a worse version of voodoo economics that Tinubu wailed about when he was fighting to grab power from Jonathan and give it to Buhari for eight years before having his own turn.
FORMER Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, dissected Nigeria’s economy and declared that the country was operating a voodoo economic policy that is pauperising the citizenry and urged urgent economic surgery to save the polity.
For instance, Tinubu wondered why the Federal Government is maintaining a foreign reserve of $46 billion with one or two per cent interest and shouldering a load of $42 billion domestic debt, which it services with 16 per cent interest.
“This is voodoo economy,” he said, adding, “they are operating it because they don’t know what to do. It is choking the private sector.
“We must in this country do away with the idea of ‘it is better save the money and spend the people.’ Rather I will say we should adopt the policy of ‘it is better to save the people and spend the fund.’
onehope: Two wrongs do not make a right! It's like you work in this hospital and you also took part in the looting of the fans and beds! The items donated will not add value or benefit the politicians directly in any way. The poor Nigerians who use that hospital are the loosers! This is Citizens killing themselves and blaming it on politicians. With this kind mentality weh you get, if you handle any public office, it is over for the people!
If he handles any public office, he won’t collect an outrageous remuneration package compared to equally productive civil servants.
DoWhatThouWilt: I once entered a school in Asaba, Delta State, that was recently renovated by NDDC.
The wall of the buildings still look new from the renovation but all the iron doors, window frames and ceiling fans were missing.
I asked why, and the reply I was given is that they were all stolen during the holiday period.
As much as I dislike the guy, I cant help but admit that frog-voice adeleke was right. Only God can help Nigeria. But you and I know he wont, because wicked heartless materialistic citizens deserve very wicked leaders.
While you are right about this, don’t leaders have a greater responsibility for how the society is
Newsweek article to commemorate the historic tweet.
In hindsight, it looks like someone wrote these releases and you can see the pattern.
Tinubu’s forte is to write and say what is pleasing to read and hear but completely different from what he does and/or did.
This is why he is arguably the best player in the political game of our country that has one of the highest number of children out of school and where most people would rather enjoy themselves and pray for God’s grace to do what He has endowed us to do, instead of reading, researching history, debating philosophy and working on practical solutions.
akpumping7720: How much is our school fees compare to some European schools? We want quality but we aren't ready to pay for it.
How much is our minimum wage and unemployment rate as well as the wage gap between civil servants and political office holders, compared to European countries?
In how many European countries do people hustle to pay private primary and secondary school fees for their children after paying government taxes to grow budget 100 times, like the situation in Lagos State where less than 5% schools are owned by government?
What percentage of people in European cities drink water from shitty boreholes like we do in Nigeria, to grow kwashiorkor big bellies and develop stage 4 cancer?
The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.
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.”
