Tinubu is really panicking.. never seen him so scared

TimeManager:
A large amount of our crude had already been contracted/sold long ago, long before Dangote refinery was completed. We can't afford to default the contractual aggrements with our foreign clients. Supply of crude would have to be resolved on a negotiation table with lots of concessions involved.

You still dey speak big grammar. Be like bomb dey your head

Uche Rochas, a Nigerian businessman, claimed Alex Otti, governor of Abia state, obtained more loans than his predecessors within one year.

On his X page on May 28, Rochas said Otti spends “N9m daily on feeding from Abia state tax payers money”.

“He has borrowed more than Orji Kalu, Theo Orji, Okezie Ikpeazu combined in less than 1yr in office,” Rochas said.

“He’s building substandard roads but the Pharisees aka obidient movement sees nothing wrong in it.”

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THE TWEET?
Kalu is a Nigerian politician and businessman who served as governor of Abia from May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2007.

He is the senator representing Abia north senatorial district, while Orji served as the state governor from 2007 to 2015 and as the senator representing Abia central senatorial district from 2015 to 2023

VERIFYING MEAL BUDGET CLAIM
Rochas claimed Otti spends N9 million daily on feeding, however, in the 2024 approved budget, N595.12 million was budgeted for refreshments and meals for the office of the governor — bringing the daily expenditure to N1.63 million.

VERIFYING LOAN CLAIM
To verify Rochas’ claim, TheCable initially attempted to compare the first-year change in domestic and external debt profile during Orji and Ikpeazu’s tenure to Otti, but there was not enough data to make a fair comparison.

The domestic debt data compiled by the Debt Management Office (DMO) — a government agency established to coordinate the management of Nigeria’s debt — started keeping the records in 2011, thereby, excluding the debt profile of governors that served between 1999 and 2010.

There is no debt data for Kalu’s two terms and Orji’s first tenure in office as governor of the state.

However, available data shows that Abia state’s domestic debt profile was N142,470,717,702.46 as of June 2023, a month after Otti assumed office.

The data also showed that the state domestic debt has reduced by N3.83 billion or 2.69 percent to N138,638,007,432.32 as of December 2023 — the first six months of Otti’s tenure.

Similarly, external debt stock decreased by $3.27 million under Otti to $89,053,939.30 as of December 2023, from $92,328,683.83 as of June 2023.

During Ikpeazu’s tenure, the state domestic debt stock rose in the first year by N8.49 billion (8.92 percent) from N95,212,687,526.87 as of December 2021, to N103,710,011,090.63 as of December 2022.

Although, external debt stock under Ikpeazu dropped by $6,853,150.31 from $101,132,954.37 to $94,279,804.06 during the same period.

Also, DMO reported the state domestic debt under Orji stood at N31,736,723,709.99 as of December 2013, compared to N25,126,070,685.10 in December 2014 — indicating a decrease of N6.61 billion or 26.3 percent during his tenure.

However, during Orji’s administration, external debt stock rose by $388,691.41 from $34,180,112.33 as of December 2013, to $33,791,420.92 as of December 2014.

VERDICT

Based on the DMO data available, it is clear that the state’s debt has reduced since Otti took office. Hence, the claim that Otti has borrowed more money than the previous governors combined in less than one year in office is false.

Also, the claim that Otti spends N9 million daily on feeding is incorrect based on the 2024 approved budget.

By borrowing into the future against our future earnings abi?

Lol am sure tinubu has borrowed more than buhari already. Bdw why una dey cast buhari is he not an APC member as well. Abi no be tinubu bring am to power. Why all dis stupid blame game and the way tinubu played politics with our future has damaged this country. Both of Una dey ment

Tjra:
I understand the position of Clark. He is from the Niger-Delta.

What I don't understand is the busybody of Obidients wey dey pokenose into Rivers Politics?

Next Monday, Simon Ekpa go cage your parents for house or his boys go flog them for not sitting at home

That is what you should find solution to instead of putting mouth for Wike and Fubara matter.

You guys need to get busy with life. No be to dey do Cho cho cho everywhere.

Rivers will be fine. ALAIGBO NEEDS YOU MORE.

Why u lookin for cheap attention..

So all tinubu did in the last 1yr is just run Forex trade and collect tax. Hehe tinubu is dumber than I thought 🤣😂🤣😂😂

jaymichael:
No be Buhari, Hausa/Fulani be the problem again, na Yoruba. Last last, you worthless inferior cretins go swallow sniper.

Swear down Hausa/Fulani were actually managing this country alot beta. But tinubu came in and start conducting experiment with our economy. He should have continued with the floating if he wasn't stupid enough. The worse part is how u idiots support his crazy ideas. Most u die to prove u ain't stupid

Even sowore is looking for cheap attention these days. There are certain things you see and ignore. Soworo can't have any control over who Obasanjo visits or talk with. He should keep his opinion to himself before he start sounding like Reno omockry

OkoRemi2023:




What's the percentage Igbo gave obj in 1999? And do you've any popular candidate that can stand against obj election when the election is more of an atonement between west and north that control the political mechanism (population etc)


How old are you in 1999 let's start from there because is obvious your historian didn't feed you well before typing

I said it you still asked the same question you have no idea of.. go check the candidates involved am sure you have no idea.

OkoRemi2023:



Which of your strong candidate was in contest with obj?


During the time you 🤡 voted for obj, does apga have the national and political will to challenge PDP whom only distant opposition was AD and SDP?


Igbo voted obj out of no choice and to be in the phase of national politics, go and learn from your elders

The way u spoke here shows that you have no knowledge the candidates or voting pattern of 1999 election. Go check the candidates and who voted for Obasanjo more in 1999 election. Ignorance has dealt a very big blow in this country and its experienced in every part of this country. I hope we get more enlightened in the future

DevilsEqual:
It's funny how I've seen more Igbos opened a thread in hardship than any other group


It's funny how they claim they care less about it yet keeps creating topics to lament about same thing


This kind logic no make sense at all

Bros this girls is from plateau state not everyone against your stupid government is Igbo. Try to learn that and put it in your empty skull

DevilsEqual:


I thought u said you're against any form of tribal attack, but me know say as Igbo wey u be,you no go fit cope...the obsession na hereditary


I thought it was only the Yorubas that protested last year while u mocked them and still cautioned your kinsmen not to join the protest

How come you're now saying they wouldn't protest cause BAT is their own man IGBOS

Yoruba are the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria. You guys have proudly supported criminality without shame and most of all you praise your oppressor. Where is yahaya Bello after efcc chairman finished barking. You people are cowards, you have no balls at all

Bosman17:


I easily see this as an act of desperation… was he doing this before his presidential ambition?

Yoruba Una like to bring people down for now reason. Why?

MadFergie001:



OSU people and their OSU mentality

MadFergie001:

MadmanObi:
Something has been happening on almost all social media like Tiktok,Instagram,Facebook and Twitter. Where majorly of Obidient from Easterner part of Nigeria promised and make a vow that they will support and vote for Tinubu comes 2027,they claims they enjoy this hardship and will never partake in any protest.
Well they're free to do and undo whatever they want in as much as it's legal and doesn'tgo against our constitution,but come 2027 if they refuse to vote for him as they promise. Goodness will depart their household,we told them in 2023 that voting for Obi is like voting for Tinubu they refuse to listen and they brought all of us here.

They're bastard if they don't vote for Tinubu in 2027

Madamobi what is really the problem is all well at home?

MadFergie001:
Jubilation of Osus

Yari-ba we've noticed you

helinues:
Ordinary the food wey we go consume by ourselves oo, make we produce am, some regions dey claim Literacy as if foods dey amongst things you fit do yangan to.

Even if those who are living in town are not interested in returning back to the village to do some farming, why can't all this senators, house of representatives members, state assembly members empowered those who are currently in the village, their constituency with faming tools and machineries.

Are those emboldened above not the most closest to us, so which excuse do we have as a country not to be able to produce what we are going to consume?

Make una continue with grammar literacy there

Who is this clown talking to.. have u lost ideas on how to attack igbos

The tomatoe pleabty self.

urobodoski419:


This is stereotype and it’s wrong. You can’t say the entire Yoruba tribe is wicked hearted. Have you met every Yoruba person, young old , male and female, rich and poor before coming to this conclusion ?

Besides I’m Yoruba and I criticized both Eedris and Adeboye who are both Yoruba.

But generally most Yorubas are very greedy and that is one of the things that unite them.

kestolove95:
Wait till June 13 let him fail to appear in court then you will know nobody is above d law

Have you seen yahaya Bello was not arrested nor anything done to him. Do you now believe that the system which Nigeria operates is very corrupt. A man who stole humongous amount of money was left to parade in Abuja. The corruption in this government will destroy nigeria

Under APC the army was reduced to a political score card for the elites

sweerychick:
when they have nothing to say or contribute they start calling Igbos

It's shocking that they blame everyone but themselves

EcoNews:
Tough same you Igbos always claim he was sidelined why don't you guys pick a side inside of all this cho cho cho.

What is business of Igbos in APC oga. Is it everything bad about Nigeria all caused by igbos

baraboo98:
Oga e no easy for people in the village oh. Every small thing now for village na money. Before you get help for free but now omo if person help you and u no show love immediately forget otilor no more help. Even fertilizer cost with chemical for farming. Oga e no easy anywhere.

Am sure that guy above you is not a real human being.

Does that mean we can equally drink the fuel if necessary

SwissMass:
The real bigotry and hatred is here

Nigeria is in the hands of a serious mafia group. Are we ever gonna get out of this mess
