Let him name one country ...I have listened to presidential chats or interviews with different countries' presidents.....like Kier Steamer, Vladimir Putin, Trudeau, Joe Boden, Olaf Scholz, Amman Macron, Benjamin Netanyahu and so on ...., you cannot see all these leaders of countries responsible for responding to all questions asked by journalists because, in a bit to respond to these questions, they may reveal some vital information that needs to be kept from the public. And all journalists know these except for Bolekaja journalists like Oseni Rufai

Shame on the failure of Bourdillon
2 years with ZERO achievement
Empty brained fraud

By next week, his agbado voters will troop to Bourdillon, plate in hand, to scavenge for crumbs from him while hailing him.

Hunger don waya dem for my area sotey dem no fit talk again. One of them came out to wail about PHCN bill some days ago & last night we heard him punching his wife to stupor. The idiot has fled to unknown location this morning with nobody to treat the wife's injuries. Every 2minutes, a frail moan is heard from the room - the woman is dying slowly.


Shun failure.
The effects are exponential.

I asked AI ChatGPT:

''Give me a ballpark figure for how much Britain has profited from Nigeria since she invaded in the 1860s or thereabouts.''


AI Response:
.................

A ballpark figure can be attempted by looking at historical economic records and extrapolating. Estimates for how much Britain gained from Nigeria through direct resource extraction, taxation, labor exploitation, and trade vary significantly, but they can be contextualized in billions or even TRILLIONS OF POUNDS when adjusted for inflation over time. Here's a rough estimate based on known data and scholarly insights:

1. Colonial Era (1860s–1960s):

Resource Extraction: During the colonial period, Nigeria was a major source of palm oil, tin, and other resources. In the early 20th century, Nigeria's export revenues were tens of millions of pounds annually.

Adjusting for inflation, Britain's gains from Nigeria during the colonial period could range from £100 billion to £500 billion in today's money.

Taxation and Labor Exploitation: Forced labor and taxes contributed significant, albeit harder-to-quantify, amounts. These might add another £50 billion to £100 billion.


2. Post-Colonial Influence (1960s–present):

Oil Wealth: Nigeria became a significant oil producer post-independence. Multinational oil companies, many of which are British or have strong ties to the UK, have extracted and exported vast quantities of oil.

Estimates suggest that Nigeria has lost more than $400 billion (approx. £320 billion) to corruption and illicit financial flows, much of which ended up in Western financial systems, including Britain's.

Continued Exploitation: Through unequal trade agreements, foreign corporate control, and financial outflows, Britain's indirect gains from Nigeria since 1960 could amount to another £100 billion to £300 billion.


Total Estimate:

Taking both colonial and post-colonial periods into account, Britain's total economic gains from Nigeria might conservatively fall between £500 billion and £1 TRILLION, when adjusted for inflation and including illicit financial flows.

This figure is speculative and highly dependent on the scope of activities considered, but it provides a ballpark estimate of the scale of exploitation and economic gain.

When Jonathan renamed Unilag after Abiola this same APC characters sponsored Unilag students to reject it ..I call on Abuja people to reject this , let UNIJOS be named after Gowon

Eriokanmi:
Nonsense. What has emefiele done, that the current CBN governor hasn't done? All I see is vendetta. Now that naira is scare again, they're keeping quiet because tinubu is in power. Like I said before, any group who stages a protest in lagos over any government after Tinubu's won't be taken seriously.
He's done worst things that could have caused Nigeria to shut down but they're defending him instead of criticising him.

gidgiddy:
Some people forget that Simon Ekpa has not been charged with any crime yet, there isn't even a court date. The fact that the Finland authorities have not charged him with any crime yet is an indication that the case against him could be weak

But beyond Simon Ekpa, Nigerians don't ask themselves why their country is the way it is. Why is their unrest everywhere? Why is there insurgency everywhere? Focusing on Simon Ekpa is to miss the point. There was a time people were calling for the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the man has been in detention for 4 years, he is more popular now amongst his people than ever, and things are worse than before he was arrested. What was the point?

There are many Biafran activists based abroad who are going to come together and sponsor another person to lead the cause of Biafra if Simon Ekpa does not come out. So what's the point?

People don't ask why things like this are happening, they are more interested in arrests that won't change anything

Most of the bridges, roads, government buildings for federal agencies, FESTAC town, Satellite town, 1,004 flats buildings etc was built by previous military presidents from Nigerian oil boom monies ( ask your parents they might tell you the truth) because dodan barracks was like the aso rock until 1991. Inspite of no oil boom now, travel to Abuja and see the massive trillions FG is spending there and ask yourself why no other state is being spent on like that. It’s because Abuja is the Federal Capital of Nigeria, just like Lagos was. When IBB left Olagunsoye Oyinlola as Military Administrator started Operation Sweep. Marwa took over and by the time he left power in 1999, Lagos had become the most secured city in Africa with investors coming in from all over Nigeria and Africa starting companies. Tinubu took over in 1999 and by 2021 a lot of people ran away. All those criminals that were chase away became agberos and there was no law and order. They were the bus stops all over Lagos and were either generating taxes for tinubu or robbing people day and night. Tinubu was more concerned with his fights with Bucknor Akerele and other politicians than the masses just like today. In fact there was one armed robber in mushin then they called Akanni who loves killing innocent people for fun after robbing them but it was gani Adams OPC that caught him in August 2001 and bought a large wooden cross with nails and crucified him in broad daylight. Go to tell magazine office in Lagos, but old copies and read about what happened under Tinubu as governor. Ask people who gani fawehimi (SAN) of blessed memory why he called Tinubu a fraud and criminal and sued him severally along with other people. Obi built and renovated several schools in Anambra .It was Reno the same man that called Tinubu a criminal that started all those baseless stories . Somebody responded to him on twitter and here on nairaland with pictures and dates of all the schools Obi built. Obi even built the major campus of Anambra state University and the teaching hospital so that one is a no brainer. Anambra was created in 1991 from Enugu but political god fathers almost ruined the state to the extent that it compared to Gombe and other states. Awka the state capital as at 2003 had only 4 hotels and land was dirt cheap. Development of the state started under Ngige who did a marvelous work in road construction but only stayed 34 months in power . Obi continued from there and into other sectors. Today the best governors in the history of Anambra state remains Ngige and Obi . Obiano is a total failure, partied everyday , ruined everything.. nobody counts him. Imagine receiving more than 200bn in naira value then , blowing it and blaming same predecessor Obiano is worse than Aregbeshola. Don’t mention him here please. That brewery park was less than 5% of what he built . He completed Orient refinery to 98% which made Anambra an Oil producing state. Built gigantic secretariats in the 21 LGAs of the state, built roads that connected the 177 communities in the state. The benefits today? Non that I see for his mumu predecessors except that Peter Obi roads that connected all 177 communities in the state now makes it easier for criminals to escape from every angle in state because Obi predecessors are normal brain dead politicians who knows nothing about running a society. Extra judicial killings? They were done by police and governors have limited control over them. Has discovery of those bodies stopped SARS from killing innocent young men extra judicially and disposing their bodies? Did end SARS stop the killings . No Governor can stop the extra judicial killing except the IG who is controlled and appointed by the president so that complaint should have been rightly directed to Tinubu. Don’t believe any of what I typed until you do a person independent research to confirm or debunk it because I don’t have time and won’t respond again but posted this to guide you to a research since you appeared like a curious online mind

Imagine comparing Obi with Tinubu that did nothing as a governor in his 8 years inspite of inheriting a former federal capital with best economy then from Babangida and after IBB left for Abuja Marwa did a marvelous job in boosting Lagos economy and security but tinubu ruined everything. It was under tinubu that house to house armed robbery started and I had to leave Lagos before Gani Adams formed OPC that drastically curtailed crime in Lagos, something tinubu couldn’t do. Most of the roads in Lagos was already constructed before tinubu starting from oil boom during Gowon, Obasanjo, Shagari, Idiagbon and IBB and the governors. Tinubu did practically nothing as governor except repairs.

Obi started from scratch while Tinubu inherited an already built state. Only the allocation tinubu Lagos state received under Tinubu first six months covered all the allocation Obi received in 8 years but he made judicial use of it and left the state with zero debt and billions of naira in cash but Tinubu left almost a billion dollars for fashola in debt with nothing much to show for it. The only area Tinubu is better than Obi is he had far better predecessors than Obi and had an Iron like grip on them unlike Obi whose predecessors were total disasters and Obi had no control over them even when he blew all the money he left on parties Obi still maintained he doesn’t believe in godfatherism

My president . With Peter Obi policy manifesto of pumping billions into small scale businesses as a way of bolstering the economy, Nigeria would have been totally transformed in his first seven months in power. Bill Clinton did it in 1993 after the gulf war recession of 1991 and it totally catapulted US economy into levels never seen before because it’s proven that the best investment you can make is on the masses because they are far larger in size and impacts more than the small thieving political elites emilokan and his fools are focusing on. After almost 2 years it is now clear that Tinubu is far worse than the worst leader in Africa- Buhari..I never believed in my wildest imagination anybody would be worse than buhari…smh. The incompetent mandate thief fool tinubu should drop his empty pride and seek lesson notes from Peter Obi on how to run a country. Imagine Nigeria a country blessed by God in every human and material resources ever imaginable but tinubu couldn’t even tap into even 1% of it to improve Nigeria but instead he has turned to begging for money all over the world from India to France to SA etc one day Tinubu go prostrate before Somalia for loan….shame, shame shame
