Politics / Re: President Tinubu To Chair Newly Approved Presidential Council On Industry by benjaminlawson(m): 9:34am On Oct 17, 2023
Industrialisation with infrastructure deficiency like electricity, good roads and insecurity everywhere is just an empty noise. Also, even if the goal is achieved, who will buy the products of industrialisation, in country where 133 million people are living in abject poverty, the remaining one can hardly afford basic necessities, only less than 1% who are policy makers and politicians are living affluent life. So as we trying to industries, tackling of poverty must be be taken along.

smileyoo:
but to me that's the best policy of this PBAT presidency so far. it shows that PBAT is a real man, not just a figure head president, because when that cow-dealer was busy shifting the goal post of federal character, most of the people complaining now were totally silent.
tinubu should appoint whoever he prefers is more competent for the job, even if they are from the same family, what we need is good performance, but if they perform poorly , tinubu's region must accept that they failed nigerians.
we are in emilokan season 1 .

I totally agree with you, this is the same argument being put forward that competent is what matter, I wonder why that competent is no longer relevant.

Nigerians must find a way to solve Nigeria's problems. UK, US or EU don't care about you. If the person has money to spend in their country and boost their economy you think they will just listen to your petition?

Besides, a thief can spend his money in Dubai, Bahamas, Singapore, Brazil, etc. Our politicians only need the western countries for their education and universities for their children. As long as their children can go to those countries, they're fine. Heck! they even prefer to stay in Nigeria here while going abroad just for vacation.

If we can't find a way to deal with bad leaders here, then we're stuck. Nobody is coming to save us.

I disagree with your assertion, by the time these countries place a ban on them, it will affect their children from schooling their, don't forget that their health life is the hand of these countries. Apart from this, they enjoy buying houses, store their looted money there, all these will make them not to lose the opportunity to visit these countries.
Politics / Re: Tell Tinubu That Nigeria Is Not Lagos If You Really Care"—Kayode Ogundamisi by benjaminlawson(m): 1:24pm On Oct 15, 2023
Kayode Ogunbamisi should please stop this unnecessary noise, where is he when buhari park all northerners in government, can he tell Nigerians how many federal establishment were created in his village , north has got more than what they are entitled to, it is now the turn of the south. Let them north talk now, so that people will show them the level of their hypocrite, because they failed to talk when bihari was doing that, so I don't know what concern Kayode for fighting for north now.

The agency disclosed that out of the N27.2 billion recovered, N12.7 billion was from one individual.


Can't these people publicize the names of those involved and get them prosecuted accordingly.

Why are they hidden the Identity of corrupt fellows of such magnitude.?

I totally agree with you, why cant they mention the names, this is why some people have tagged our leadership process as organized crime. They always protect their criminality activities.

Politics / Re: PENGASSAN Confirms Return Of Fuel Subsidy Under Tinubu by benjaminlawson(m): 8:15pm On Oct 08, 2023
Nigeria has turned to private enterprise, in which the politicians and CEO of all government establishment behave as if they own Nigeria. They behave the way they want, experts advice were not sort before pronouncement of any policy, these are the reasons that leads to inconsistent policies, like police pronouncement and reversal or
conciliation of policy pronounced.

Positivepoint:



Out of four companies awarded contract u single out 2 northern when the rest are own by southern

Below are information from the two other companies you skipped owned by southerners

1. Oilserv Limited

Chairman/CEO Engr. Dr. Emeka Okwuosa (CON)

Website link: https://oilservltd-ng.com/meet-the-team/

2. Macready Oil & Gas Service Company Limited

Executive Chairman MrOlu Fagbemi

Website link: http://macreadyng.com/about/team


I guess it's only becomes a cabal when Northern Businesses are patronized.




But why not give the line in Northern region to Northers and that of south to the southerners. Or divide it equally among them.

I don't understand the system that makes an individual to be so powerful that he decides everything, he decides how much to pay to federation account, he decides the quantity of our local consumption, how much to sell a liter of petroleum etc. When did we get to a level in which an individual is a highland in the affairs of more than 200 million people. The man suppose to have been fired along with Elefele and Laws.

They released his transcript to show he did graduated from there.

So since CSU dont re-issue replacement certificate and he lost his original one, what should he have done?

He should have official protocol to get the replacement instead of Oluwole's own. That was the mistake he made.

This is what you get where you have a compromised system; both eyeneck and judiciary which tell an organization to conduct their affairs without following the rules. But I expect our elder statement like peace committee headed by our former head of state to speak up and also other former president and eminent personalities in this country, because eyeneck what to cause problem for Nigeria because impartiality in our election process which we must not allow.
Politics / Re: Atiku Files Fresh Suit For Tinubu's Records To Be Released By CSU by benjaminlawson(m): 10:25am On Sep 28, 2023
Stubborn82:
Headless mobs, come here, let me set your head for you, seem you didn't see beyond your hatred, and your hatred for Tinubu is causing you lots of moral damage.
If your enemy wants to dig your down fall, will you give him the support? No....wait, first.....let me put it this way for you. If someone you have help in multiple time, now turn as your enemy because he wants what you have,and since he couldn't get it, he look for ways to bring you down, despite knowing that you worth and deserves it, even if you have all what your enemy are asking for, will you give it to them? No nau.....let just put Atiku and Tinubu case aside, let's try to personalise this case to ourselves, will you give your enemy some vital information about you, just because of they want you down? My people used to say, if rice has stones, must it come from the mouth of aboki? Does rice grows in desert?
If it is national assembly that was making this call, I wouldn't have bothered, if it was house of rep, that were demanding to know about Tinubu academic records, I would have welcome and support it, or let's say, the demand was coming from Nigerian military, I will not oppose it, but a man, who happened to be a political opponents, no nau, God knows, even if I have all the documents and certificates intact, I will still not want it to be release, I swear. My enemy don't worth anything that I should give any attention to.
But because of hates, most of you calling for Tinubu's head are blind, does this man do you any wrong, does he insult your tribe? What was his sin, that you want Jesus to be put to death and allow a thief to go free?
Let's break it down, obi rigged, Atiku rigged and even do votes buying, Tinubu of course rigged, but because Tinubu won the race, you suddenly hates him, right? And by dragging him dirty, you think, that's what will makes him dirty, have you ever see any man who wrestle with pig and not get dirty? By dragging Tinubu to the mud, you are dragging Nigeria into it and it will affect all of us, America is dirtier than the whole Africa, Britain secrecy is worst than amagedom. Continue your stupidity.
As for me, I'm not a witch, I won't join the hates bandwagon. Obi is not a Saint, Atiku is not a messiah, I wish Tinubu success and victory in all this battle, I pray that may God protect him in this trying time and crown his struggle with power and prosperity. May God bless Nigeria and everyone who love Nigeria.

Let me clearly tell you that all your write up is based on either ethnic or selfish bias. I will give an unbias and objective view, because this is what is keeping us to the state of underdevelopment. As you claimed that if your enemy intend to pull you down by digging your academic record, would you allow? academic record cant put someone down, if the records are truthful and strait forward, let it be known that truth is what no one can fight and win, because truth is always truth. You mentioned that if it is National Assembly that demands it, you will agree, don't you know that the man in question single handedly appoints their leadership, can they then question him if you want to be objective? You also mentioned that Obi, Atiku and Tinubu rigged, there is possibility that people may try not to play according to rule, that is why we have election umpire to block all their rigging plans, but in a situation where election umpire compromised the standard to favorite a candidate, other will fight definitely, take an example of how an umpire should behave in the case of JAMB, the umpire open all their record and show the whole world the mark she score, how she forged and where she forged, at the end, the young girl has to apologies. Let it be also known to you that, by trying to know the truth never drag Nigeria to mud, but it will vindicate more than 200 million Nigerians, because Nigeria is greater than any individual and the whole world will know that we don't take nonsense in Nigeria. As you wished him victory and success in all these matter, I also join you in wishing him success and victory, but with a condition that he is not guilty of the allegations, but if he is guilty let the truth be known to serve as deterrent to other and most importantly word of God says truth exalt a nation but sin is a reproach to a nation.

There are some insane people in Nigeria, so taking our vehicles from us through subsidy removal without proper planning is an achievement in a decent democracy? It is not your fault, it is mamooud that compromised our electoral process, if not they will not smell that seat of power, but nature and Almighty God knows how to take care of the situation.

Tonnierichy:
This is serious

Y'all asked for better education, well it starts from here. Once you start paying the huge amounts, they'll be able to put lots of things in place. Get used to it.

All these cheap education that only attract insult from you people when you travel overseas is enough. It's time to face world class realities.

Please forget the so called world class realities, in Nigeria let it be known to you that our problem is not funding, the little one is enough to run our higher institutions, but corruption is our bane. Let the visitation panels report be released, you will see how our so called CVs squandered the money allocated to them. Let any CV that is clean open their financial records to ICPC or EFCC and evaluate their financial performance. Even if students are made to pay more, all of it will be embedded, let all known that.

Over 117days now, he has not achieve anything meaningful.

He has achieved something contrary to the constitution he swear in, which include inflicting us poverty, hunger, inflation, insecurity etc, in which he too acknowledged during his speech in US, but asked us to be patience, but the question is for how long, he enter the office and started enjoying all the benefits of the office; issuing orders, going with long convoy, using presidential fleets etc, but masses need to endure hardship for some times, the time which was not even specified.

Beolly:


You are relying on INEC IREV for your figure? You made allegations of non-compliance in respect of some areas without specifically identifying the polling units where those perceived non-compliance took place.

And how can you be asking INEC to give you DOCUMENTS to use to prove INEC is not competent! No petitioner relies on the electoral body for documents to prove whether he the election or not.
This is akin to asking a man to give you the knife you want to use to kill him!

if you doubt the numbers INEC quoted for you, simply collate your numbers from the Agents your party sent to each Polling Station and compare them with the number INEC posted against your name.

Only a derang€d mind will go and be arguing about 25% in Abuja, so in the future if a candidate wins 36 states but loses Abuja woefully without securing 25% his opponents will for cancellation, does that even make sense? So Abuja voters will now be the one who determines who will be the president or not?

Do you know why political parties have Party agents in ALL polling units and what exactly are their responsibilities? And in ur argument you claimed Atiku won the election in another breath you said Obi won the election so who exactly do we believe?


I don't like people argue blindly, all what you wrote am less concern, but the aspect of inec you talked about make me to conclude that you are completely ignorance of what inec stands for. Don't you know that inec is a public institution, all their activities must be opened for public examination, so cant compare inec to a private individual, they are two different things unless you want to tell me that inec is working only for a particular party. Even our law, under freedom of information, allows any Nigerian to seek information from any government agencies unhindered.

Please, are judges God, that one cannot confront them when they perverse justice? Or did they attacked them with gun or cutlass, in a democracy people is allowed to speak their mind, but if it favours you today and you defending an evil, don't forget it will turn to you tomorrow. So if you said because people speak against a judge and is going to exercise his judicial power based on this sentiment and not according to the law of our land, then we are building an unjust society and you should know what will be the consequences.

I totally agree with you, this is damage control, what of when no 1 to 20 out of about 23were occupied by people from the same region and faith, this appoint can't cover up all the maladministration of the man. He actually put Nigeria into this mess, by selling our crude through back doors and claimed oil theft, that the NNPC which is cash cow of our purse, was unable to remain one naira into federation account throughout 2022 fiscal year, claiming the fund was not sufficient to pay subsidy. I expect him to be arrested the way emefele was put behind the bar. He must be made to account for every naira received from our crude sales.

If northerners by then join other zones to warn former president, other zone would have join them to complain to mr. President, but as it is now, they stand alone.

Agreed, but that is double standard, if the information about their own president is needed on any matter, no government institution will hide it, to the extend that semen of a sitting president was obtained during sex scandal during investigation.
