Mehmmm, Asiwaju who protested, organized protests and even paid pasta Reno to harass Buhari when the clueless president was seeking foreign hospital treatments is the one now jailing children for the grave crime of protesting hardship and hunger!

Tufiakwaaa this kind Yorubacracy!

Senior Advocate of the North. We don hear you.

But continue to cry on behalf of the north

Asiwaju black out North, starve their children and now, jailing their children!

The North has struck their first blow: NEC reject Asiwaju tax bill.

I swear by the strength of G-d, the North will lynch any SW person trying to rig any part of north in 2027....say you heard it first from me!

Last minute, even Ribadu, Ganduje will forsake Asiwaju!

For a man that protested, organized protests and even paid pasta Reno to harass a sitting president enjoying foreign hospital....

Mehmmm na G-d go punish Asiwaju! He no go end well!

Old clown!

Your statement " I managed to get the 50k and was praying to find an officer who would do it at a lesser price"

Why do you need an officer to do it for you, while there are people already before you!

You guys don't hate corruption, you only talk when it's not favoring you!

The instructions on how to proceed is there, you developed your own instructions and went there, only to be confronted by their own instructions!

Why complain?

Promising to give you earlier than supposed means someone who came before you will have to wait..... These are just some of the mentality a lot of Nigerians take abroad!

The first cultural shock that would greet you abroad is that you will never be able to join the queue.... better learn it in Nigeria before going abroad!

TimiRume:
Why are some Nigerians like this? Why have we sworn to sabotage everything before us like no man business?

I went to the Immigration office yesterday with the sum of N50k hoping to get my passport application process started and probably get it within a month. Before going there yesterday, I saw online that the federal govt had increased the fee recently from 35k to 50k. I managed to get the 50k and was praying to find an officer who would do it at a lesser price.

However on getting there, I was met with a totally different fee. At first I was confused, because the moment I arrived some men started "hustling" to whisk me away to a nearby office, a stone throw away from the main immigration office. They told me since I was applying for a fresh passport(I told them, my bad), I had to follow them because they were the ones in charge of that. I relunctantly followed them. They explained somethings to me and brought out a form to fill. I mumbled not so fast and asked how much for it, the 5yrs own? And they said 80k. 80 what!! I got suddenly angry and started walking out.

Returned back to main building and found an officer. He told me same 80k price but I can pay 50k to get an appointment slip and when I come on Monday for capturing, balance up. I almost started crying. He said not to worry my passport would be out in 3weeks plus some days time. I told him if that's the case, I would pay the balance once I get my passport in 3weeks time. But he refused, saying the balance must be paid on the capture date. We went back and forth, and he said something like some people pay millions to get theirs and they don't ask all these questions I'm asking.

Well, I knew something was off with that promise of 3weeks collection time but that was not the primary thing bothering me. The fee was my problem. Why do they allow these guys overcharge customers above the standard fee with their heavy commissions? This isn't fair.

My tfair to and fro was 6k. Wasted. I went back home not able to start the application. Some guys I met outside told me if I want it urgently, I would pay even more than 100k. Sorry, I don't plant money in my house.

Did these guys lie to me or did I not meet the right people yesterday?

I was eavesdropping on a conversation one quiet afternoon at a cafe, minding my business when three friends were discussing about an issue affecting their friend who just buried her mom...

It involved something, somewhat illegal the villain was trying to do to their friends... And it's causing her untold pain because she just lost her mom!

Victim: I don't know what to do!

1st friend: threaten a court case.

2nd friend: Where will she get the money to hire a lawyer. These lawyers charge a lot.

3rd friend: Let's support her with funds to hire a lawyer, however if we fail, there are some folks who'd pull a hit for less than $750. We can't allow the villain get away with this!

The 3rd friend suggestions was what make me looked back and our eyes met. I looked at her with Admiration.

This is how whites, fair skin, blue eyes blonds solve their problem. Especially when they are damn sure you are doing something illegal to punish someone else!


Before you say jack Robinson, they've all hurriedly left. Because they thought I might call the cops. Hell no, I feel like buying them some steak and an öl to wash it down! Imagine when $750 can solve what $2500 can not solve!

When you keep quiet and don't make people pay dearly and costly for their wrongs, expect to always be messed with!

Judge dey go mosque or church or court and you dont know how to wish her well!

SA like their besties in SW, they will start a first, throw first punch....but when you retaliate with a barrage they will start complaining!

Imagine if we start dem embarrass SA int'l contestants now.....too bad, na white SA dey even go far for global contests..lol

Exactly how unity beggars behave!

Check out people cheering the fools, it's still people from the west side of Nigeria. Really shameless, lazy people like their kiths in SA

Mama allegedly commit crime. Pikin got sanctioned but boldly removed herself to pursue her dreams despite the mockery. She won local and aims for global win, then the envious, vseless people struck!

This reminds of people from SW..... bitterness, envy wickedness will only make a caricature of yourself!

Even when you make it clear you don't want to have any thing to do with them, envy, wickedness as you win will make them fool themselves further!

They think the world revolves round the bumblebee asses their female folks carry!

Where are the wretched pigs from SW? . They wont call for annihilation of the village, communities where this happened? Imagine it was in Ijaw villages or nywhere in the South; besides their SW, "you'd hear stuffs like, bomb everywhere!"


There is a reasons why wretched pigs best describe their demented evil tribalistic, fearfully wicked souls!

Vseless people, who everything is politices and stomach infrastructure to!

The wretch pigs here on nairaland who supported & defended him for 8 damned years also got away!

Cut off the wretch pigs support system, i tell you no idiot will last a minute loger misruling!

But hey, i just sighted a wretched pig above!

I really hate these pigs! Because, all they need, is just another evil and wicked ruler to emerge, they will simply port!

Eyahhh.... Clowns also cries!

The only states capable of generating 20 hours of light are those making their own light like Abia....

The rest na lies, just like their IGR

Elusive001:
Tor.

I thought most of your brothers for nairaland dey talk say una dey get nothing less than 20 hours of light for una side.

Wetin come happen sir?

So finally you are more disappointed in a man that have never rule you, non ruin you than a man that have ruled you and ruined you?

Yorubas sha!!!

No wonder a member of LIEM, Punch was busy blaming World Bank for loans while leaving criminals who don't execute the projects the loans were meant for!

COAS commissioned a 60-year old Abandoned copter in South Africa as new one!

Kapeter:
Long read alert

First of all hopefully the mods wouldn't see this as ethnic stuffs and all and see that enough reason to remove this topic, it's not always easy for me like that sitting behind my computer trying to put out my observation as a conservative Yoruba man.


And for the records, for those ethnic bigots and all let me tell you that i was an ardent supporter of Goodluck Jonathan. The only time i've ever voted in my entire almost 40s life was in 2011 when i had to vote for Jonathan. So whatever you will be hearing from me here is coming from the conservative part of me and nothing else.


And oh, i am from Ondo state where Tinubu has never won all his life. I mean, he has never been able to ever install any governor in my state all his political career before you start shouting agbado and all sort.


So to the topic I've been following Peter Obi for a while now on social media because of all the hypes that surrounds him because of all the youth and all to actually see if indeed he's all that and all because to be candid i don't really care about any Politician and political parties like that, i see all of them as same.

But ever since i've been following Peter Obi, I've never been more disappointed in a politician than him all my life, several post that shows he has issues with SW and Yoruba people in general. The last of his post that got me all worked up was when he was t5alking about the power outage in Nigeria and he only mentioned the Northern/SS and SE region as the people suffering power outage. Like oh come on, i live in SW, Ibadan precisely and i have families and friends back in Ondo my hometown and almost every part of SW state and i get reports almost every seconds of the day, there are no electricity supply in many parts of SW too during when he made that post even my own area in Ibadan but he made it looked like there's supply in SW and the only regions he mentioned are those without electricity supply. Is he trying to de-market SW and Yoruba people or what exactly maybe because the present president is of Yoruba extraction?

Look in Nigeria today, there are some politicians despite not being Yoruba and i being a Yoruba conservative who loves and care majorly about Yoruba interest i will still campaign and prob vote for. Likes of Sule Lamido, Donald Duke, Akpabio, Olusegun Mimiko and Rochas Okorocha. So all i'm saying is that being a conservative looking out for Yoruba interest, i know detribalized working politicians before you start calling me names.

Omoo......this kind thing! The werey dey Ogbomosho. Who dash am Lagos under bridge sef?

Na ndi we be SW geng without mentioning their own State first!

FourQu:
It's like they missed you the last time they raided under ojuelegba bridge.

No worry, next time they come for round 2 of una deportation they will not miss searching under that mat you used to cover yourself last time

Too much grammar. How do you expect illiterates to understand Debt to Service Ratio?

They just have the mindset of sell oil, gaet X amounts, build roads.

Na roads, electricity etc naim Nigeria dey build since 1960....

Nigeria politicians don understand their IQ levels.

So anyone wey come go quickly announce new road projects!

mrvitalis:
Qatar and Dubai are not the most sort after destination in the world

But then again even if they were... U missed the key points is this

Building Infrastructure on borrowed money is what I'm talking about

Was Dubai built with borrowed money? How about Qatar?.

What is their revenue to debt service ratio?

Again you people need education but na you rush call me illiterate first

You are the illiterate here. Because if you do a simple research, which I know off course you are not educationally equipped to do, you find out why they are trooping to SW.

I hate illiterates, but I hate illiterate wretched pigs more!

Biodun556:
I don't want to use abuse word for that illiterate

Nigerians have been crying for good governance and aside from good economy, stable electricity, the nest thing we crave is infrastructure. Now that some little attempt is being made, they are shifting the post

If they have brilliant ideas, why are their people trooping to south west everyday?


Or what is the achievement of the lack of infrastructure in the South East?

More funny when the SW depends like an in host monster on the oil & gas from their region!

Pigs!

Ikaeniyan0:
It's so funny that they keep on trooping to the south west in large numbers even though they bad mouth the region

100% supported. That's why a section of the Igbos are agitating to be let out!

According to Sen Ned Nwoko, Delta state receives more allocations than the entire SE, but check well Biko..... You go know

Biodun556:
Go and practice your idea in south east



For south west, we believe infrastructure. It makes people comfortable and attract investors

You're the illiterate here.

Qatar doesn't borrow to build infrastructures, rather she uses "HER OWN" money with no interest or forced conditions on her!

So dear illiterate, does Nigeria use "HER OWN" money like Qatar or she goes cap in hand like bambialla looking for loans that ends been stolen?

You're actually one of the people the OP is making reference to!

Economically, una illiteracy dey affect the whole country!

garykoeman:
illiterate.

If infrastructure does not build economy.

Why is Qatar and dubai the most sort after destination countries In the world.

Or why are ur people in S.E clamouring for 2nd Niger bridge.

Perfectly written.

A well maintained hut that provide excellent sleeping option is better than an uncompleted duplex that is devoid of sleeping comforts.

They won't understand these, because they lack basic economic skills.

That's why they can never excel as a business person or trader. Even aboki with his small kioks know this pass them!

mrvitalis:
I don't mean to sound Tribalistic but the amount of people who lack basic knowledge of economics I have seen from the South West region of Nigeria is alarming

1) Infrastructure doesn't kick start economic growth... It helps sustain or maintain already achieved growth
- I remember when Obi made this statement in 2019 they all laughed at him... Fashola disgracefully made jokes about it... APC government doubled down on projects ( sadly with borrowed money)

Rails, bridges, roads, power plants ETC... How did the economy respond? Lmaooo it tanked

Revenue dropped and debt service increased

Yet Tinubu came, started doing the same thing again even more aggressively... Boom the economy tanked more

Yet millions still believe borrowing to build infrastructure is what we need


2) The issue of IGR
Millions of people believe IGR is a measure of productivity or economic growth... No it's not

The only measure of economic growth or productivity are GDP and GDP per capita

Judging economic productivity by IGR is like judging how big a company is by how much salaries the owners pay themselves

Owner of a bigger company can decide to pay himself small money... Either to avoid tax or scarification for company growth

Doesn't mean his company is smaller than the other company with less revenue but owner gets paid 10* more

A state with higher GDP can decide to tax less or not tax at all to allow its people to grow


Honestly this level of economics misinformation in this forum is too much

They never learn or want to learn!

Mentally exhausted people!

Borrow go build house, you no fit borrow to maintain am! Bunch of idiots turning economic laws upside down!

Despite all. The clown still borrow to build a coastal highway of fraud, yet the main arteries piloting economic activities lay disabled.

Rep Oseni Remi, Oyo State, wants to blame the employee instead of the employer.

Didn't they tell you clowns announcing white elephant projects up & down is not dividends of democracy especially when it's borrowed money!

Well, you can't teach people who are controlled like mice along cheese route anything!

How Nigerian Army Bought, Refurbished 60-Year-Old Fire-fighting Helicopters Abandoned In South Africa, Presented Aircraft As New

https://saharareporters.com/2024/10/29/exclusive-how-nigerian-army-bought-refurbished-60-year-old-fire-fighting-helicopters

And LIEM will blame Bretton Woods Institutions for providing money to buy a new Bird!

I 100% believe you.... They're simply brought up to fear and obey anyone of them as head. Whether the person na idiot, or na drug bagman, they will just dey follow the werey like rabbit wey eat sugarcane!

Anyway, if all these are happening in Oduduwanistan, I don't give a Hoot but until then, these propensity to act politically foolish is affecting the whole country!

The need to change or we go give them online vawulence till them change!

Sultanofpiglets:
When they claim POLITICAL Sophistication.. it means that they are actually the most foolish TRIBE in NIGERIA.

Objective?

Gone were the days of Dele Giwa, whose journalistic prowess got him served a parcel bomb during IBB. The Ekperi, Edo state born enigma till date has not been accorded his due respect in making sure Nigerians get hot steaming news as it breaks!

There's a reason why we call The Nation ati. Punch LIEM (Lagos Ibadan Expressway Media)... They are too petty to be called a Media house!

Imagine the nonsense of blaming a lending institution when it's the vseless rulers of Nigeria that runs to them for loans!

I operate a lending marketplace in Europe, I can imagine a borrower writing trash about me heeding a request and granting a borrow Order!

Already known for hypocrisy and sycophancy, now that Asiwaju is presido, they simply elevate it a notch higher!

G-d punish evil leaders like Asiwaju!

Dogalmighty17:
I used to think that the press in Nigeria were sane and objective. Not until the APC got into power. It became clear that the majority of them were just propaganda houses to make the government of the day look good.
The Nation newspaper is the worst of them all. Since their owner Tinubu got into power, they seem to not see anything concerning about the issues in Nigeria anymore.

I have never seen a more shameless people!

They hailed Buhari when he destroying the economy and called it "Politics".

They blamed GeJ when in effect it was the drug bagman that instigated Ameachi fashola oshiomole to insist on sharing the Excess Crude accounts.

Now, they shamelessly can not even have the balls to blame Buhari, and as the Igbos were not in the picture, they resort to blaming World Bank!

Mehmmm....these people are cursed!

Bank wey dey their own, BAT = Buhari and Tinubu Carry their foolishness go meet them collect loan, na bank fault if you no dey ready to meet their condition?

Asiwaju is evil and Nigerians better start readying themselves how to remove him in 2027

Sultanofpiglets:
It is sophisticated foolishness and dementia that is borne out of tribalist and bigoted scavengers.

They blamed PDP .. hailed BUHARI... later Blamed Peter Obi... now they are blaming the same world bank that they go to constantly begging for loans.

This is to show how sophisticated and foolish they are

Atleast they can NEVER blame IGBOs for this failures..

Maybe they would sef...

Truth merged with reality is coming out small small!!

By the time Asiwaju is done with Nigeria....na una go use una hand pursue.... assuming the hardship reset una head well!

Buhari 8 damned years no teach una anything!

Shameless people and their largely useless Media house filled with poorly waged journalist too happy to kill their journalistic skills and cash out whence they can!

There's a reason we call them LIEM. That's Lagos Ibadan Expressway Media. They are so pack of shit. They shitty as their bowels are. They're bereaved of good skillful writers. They're all tied to the apron, one way or the other, to the apron of either a religion Capone or a political one. Not done, some all pledge allegiance to some sneaky judicial cabal. They are all useless!

Normally, they should all be left alone to die the normal journalistic death all purveyors of lies do die. But for the sake of sons of Oduduwa who we love like amala, gbegiri and orishirishi and who ironically has a knack to believe most garbage without critical critic, we must resist and make sure they're fact checked!

Yet another one:
"For the sake of your children at least, stop taking bribes write up these paid propaganda reports which are bent on shifting the blame from the kakistocrats who continue to siphon away your collective inheritance into their private pocket. Stop writing these trash pieces aimed at shifting blame onto foreign organizations whose only crime — if we could call it that —was to grant you the very loans you requested... loans which if you had fixed your country would have gone to better your lives instead. 🤔"

A cheezy fellow wrote:
"How do we move forward with all these loans?
The loans are not the primary problem but corruption is. For example, annual non-oil tax revenue reported by the FIRS is above $22 billion each year. Where does all of at least $22 Billion disappear to? If your government were in fact using that over $22 billion in tax revenue wisely — even half of it — what would be the need for your government to have to seek out a loan of about 750 million dollars — a tiny fraction of the amount it currently generates by way of tax revenue each year from the World Bank?"

Another one:
"So all Punch, a member of LIEM can do is blame an Institution who was kind enough to borrow Asiwaju money?

If all the above were true, can we all now agree that Asiwaju must be an idiot for allowing World Bank lead his govt down the path of perdition?"

As you read this, ask your self if the Writer/Editor of Punch is normal at all? World Bank never came to Nigeria to give loans. Nigerian leaders, most especially BAT; Buhari And Tinubu, went to World Bank for loans. Every lender has their own conditions, if it's not good for you, then you reject the loan!

This also reminds one about the foolishness shown by a Rep member from Oyo State who chastise Dave Umahi, Minister of works as a failure, when in effect that chastisement should go to Asiwaju who directs policies, but I love the smackdown clap back Umahi gave him!

Now, months ago we all advice these elite miscreants to focus on mending already existing roads, but they all shouted that they love Asiwaju Coastal Highway of Fraud More than the hundreds of deplorable highway crisscrossing the federation. I swear these people no normal at all!
