 Foreign Affairs › Re: Ghana’s President Scraps Seven Ministries In Cost-Cutting Move by benjaminlawson(m): 9:43am On Jan 13, 2025 |
We can now is evidence of a good leader, he came and look at what drains resources of his country and block. He did not come and buy new president jets, SUVs and other expensive cars for himself and other arms of government. Even one military junta was making mockery of our democracy stating and despising our democracy of being the one that kills protesters and charged them for treason. Our own democracy only provides job for politicians by creating more offices with jumbo package, while asking people to tight their belt and suffer to maintain their extravagant life style. |

badoh:You are the type that encourage our politicians to behave wickedly, you are asking us to tell where they will get money without borrowing. The simple answer is where they got money to buy jet, buy new fleets of expensive cars, SUVs for national assembly, stop inflating contract and looting our resources were the places they will get money to also pay for subsidy and other amenities to be provided for masses. 6 Likes 1 Share |

surgical:I completely agree with you on your opinion, this is difference between selfless leaders and self centered leaders, without negotiation, judicial officers salaries were increased by 300%, military condition of service was reversed to get 20,000 Dollars and SUVs and other retirement benefits on retirement, but in the same country, we saw a retired DSP of Police lamented on social media that her gratuity for serving Nigeria for 35 years was 1.7 million naira. The question is, what are the judges and military personnel contributing to Nigeria that doctors in the hospitals, teachers in the classrooms, lecturers in our universities etc did not do. When it comes to later classes of workers, they government we now starting negotiating with them by saying they we add 3,000 or 2,500 to their salary as if they are bargaining for price of tomato or pepper, presently some senior civil servants received less than 20% increment, according to consequential adjustment table, and till now that has not even happen. Even our children that were sent to places far away from their parent to go and serve their father land, were promised 77,000 naira, but up till now that have not taken effect. More so, this is the first time that state governments are paying more than Federal government which is very bad. 2 Likes |

After public display of their picture what else, it means that the loan had been fully repaid. Because if they did not pay, what else can they do. This is how one of them announced the obituary of my sister's husband to the world, just because his son collected loan in which the parents did not know anything about. If you own them, they can call you 20 times within an hour and deny you of many important calls. Apart from all this, the interest they charged is so high that it outweigh even the benefits of the loan, take for instance, we took 32,000 naira, just with a space of 38 days they charged nearly 10,000 naira as interest, and in our main bank we took 50,000 naira for the whole 6 months and the bank charged us 7,225 naira as interest we can now see that this online loan apps are out to exploits people. I don't know why government did not maintain her stand to completely ban them for defrauding people through their loan apps, or regulate interest they charged on loans. 5 Likes |

The act of budget padding with trillions of naira, and government establishments proposing buying computers and vehicles every year as they are consumables like fuel at highly inflated prices every year will not lead us to bankruptcy, only the subsidy payment that even witnessed a lot scam the same people that removed subsidy will lead Nigeria into bankruptcy.

| Politics › Re: Obasanjo Says Invitation To Inspect The Refineries Is Disrespectful by benjaminlawson(m): 8:43am On Jan 04, 2025 |
I totally agreed that it is disrespect to Obasanjo. If they are really sincere with what they are doing they don't need any invitation to show Nigerians that the refinery is working, mere telling us how many trucks are loading from it daily with evident of this from trucks driver is sufficient. We cannot be subjected to the lies and propaganda of our present government agencies, like when we were told the that of Port Harcourt is working, only for journalists to go there after some days and noticed that no fuel is being loaded there or how can we accept a situation where by the whole refinery is producing only about 10 to 20 trucks daily, and they claimed it is working at 60% capacity. |

The act of inviting Baba to come and inspect it is an insult to him. NNPCL don't even need to say that, let people see it through the number of trucks that will be loaded daily, not the one that only between 1-10 trucks will be loaded daily, instead of about 50-100 or even more daily for more than 2 years, that is when Nigerians will know that the refineries are actually working, not the kind of this window dressing of claiming it is working. |

What really disappoints was Mr. President personal confession that his friend had 3 nimosine cars, but has to sell them and buy Honda. If this is the case, what of people who are using honda then, what would they be using now. It implied that every Nigerian had been made poor, except politicians and judiciary personnel whose salary was increased by 300%, which also indicated that all those people who worked on those cars as mechanics and spare parts dealers had been sent out of business. This kind of situation is not suppose to be used by any president to support his policies, because it has reduced standard of living and send many to abject poverty. |
| Politics › Re: A Presidential Chat Long On Promises - Punch Editorial by benjaminlawson(m): 10:15am On Dec 26, 2024 |
The president sighted a self indictment example of a friend who sold an expensive car to buy Honda due to adverse economic conditions, thank God he is aware of this. Many sold their car and are now trekking or resulted motor cycle. But the president show be reminded the that Yoruba proverb says " oba to je to ilu roju, oruko re ko ni pare, oba to je to ilu o roju oruko re na ko ni pare" meaning that any king that rules and people enjoy his name will go to record book, likewise the one that rules and people suffered his name will also go to record book. The concerned of many Nigeria is that why ordinary Nigerian both rich and poor are suffering, the same cannot be said of our political elites, they are busy renovating undillapdated building, adding private jets to the existing ones, buying luxurious cars, building houses for themselves, while common man are selling their cars, the son of the president was shown in documentary where he displaced the addition to the collection of his exotic cars, expensive customized wrist watch including private jet. Then what is the justification for saying we Nigerians are living fake life before now or is it only politicians and their family members that are suppose to live a real life in Nigeria? 2 Likes |

His Excellency Alhaji Abubakar, the former head of state and Bishop Kuka should try to divest from asking political parties to sign peace accord, but should focus more on the election umpire inec and security agencies enduring they play and conduct themselves according to rule, because if there is no justice peace will disappear, if any politician knows that they lost election, they will accept the outcome, but in a situation whereby rules are set aside, there is possibility of rejecting the election, or a situation where someone lost election then go to his ward or local government and manipulate election in his favour should not be teoloirated. That is why inec and security agencies have a role to play there constitutional roles, not only political parties. |

But my reservation about EFCC action is that they should not be selective in their operation, all former governor's and ministers particularly under buhari's administration must be investigated and their financial dealing scruitnised, so that any one that commit financial crime like yeye Bello be brought to book and last Kobo they stole be recovered. 1 Like |

The masses you are fighting for are continuously praying for you and your family. On the other hand, I hope own activist will not be like others who occupied Ojota for three days and people supported them, they invited pastor, one white hair professor and some other politicians, people supported them maximally. But unfortunate even what made them to lead people to occupy Ojota, they have not even stepped to office before they announced subsidy gone. My question for them is, do they not realised that they are hypocrites? Why did they led people to protest when they know that is right decision to take? Also throughout occupied Ojota no police or military personnel come close to them much less of throwing tear gas or using life bullet on them, but this was there own trade mark during august protest.

Are Ona Kakanfo, we really appreciate your contribution. When the names of those who rise against oppression and insensitive government in Nigeria is being mentioned, your name will not be missing. Also where ever our respected elders of Yorubas like Baba Adebanjo, Obasanjo and many others that forsee what this man is made off, one of our proverb says "ounti agbalari to to ba joko, bi omode ba gun igi ko Lee ri" Meaning, what elders see when they sit down, even if young ones climb the tree they can't see it. But the elder that laid his derty hands of that man's head in the build up to election I think they will be regretting now if he has conscience, though he be bribed with billions of Naira, but the insult he will be receiving now cannot be equivalent to that money. Thank you Gani Adam once again. |
