What did PDP do for Edo all their locust years?

The APC is not and can never be an option

Akpakomiza2:
What has Asue offered his community

Monday Okpebholo, who cannot spell Tuesday, who failed WAEC at 36, is not an option.

The worst thing that can happen to the good people of Edo state is for them to allow APC to get close to the osadebey government house because it will be a catastrophe for them. They are better off with the PDP.

The APC gubernatorial candidate Monday Okpebholo have absolutely nothing to offer.

One year after, where are the egg heads and best brains Tinubu was going to bring on board

PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has one of the largest cabinets in Nigeria’s history, comparable to Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration, which had 47 ministers in 1999. Despite his promise to appoint technocrats to drive his Renewed Hope Agenda, Tinubu’s cabinet appears to be a mix of politicians, loyalists, and a sprinkling of experts.

One year after their appointment, it has been a mixed result with many failing to deliver on their mandate. One of the key promises of Tinubu’s administration was economic revitalisation. Under the stewardship of the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, the economy has seen both commendable efforts and areas of concern.

The administration has introduced bold reforms, such as unified exchange rates and the removal of petrol subsidies. These policies have sparked inflation and public dissatisfaction.

The raft of reforms has also failed to reflate the economy or strengthen the naira, which has continued to lose its value against the greenback. This is because the country is not producing. Edun’s reforms could, at best, be described as an attempt to make a dead horse walk.

The much-anticipated job creation drive has yet to produce the expected results. Unemployment and underemployment continue to plague the country, with the youth disproportionately affected. The employment initiatives, though well-intentioned, have yet to materialise into significant job opportunities.

Infrastructure development has been a focal point of Tinubu’s government, with the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, tasked with overseeing critical projects. The administration has made strides in continuing and initiating key infrastructural projects. However, the pace of development has been slower than promised. Bureaucratic delays, funding gaps, and security concerns have hindered progress.

So far, the government has awarded 51 contracts worth N6.27 trillion to procure, construct, and develop various infrastructural projects across the federation. The contracts, awarded between October 2023 and May 2024, would facilitate infrastructural projects, including roads, bridges, train systems, and airport infrastructure.

The minister’s leadership has been stable, but a greater push is needed to meet its ambitious targets. The focus on completing ongoing projects from previous administrations is a positive sign of continuity, but new projects are crucial to meet the growing demands of Nigeria’s burgeoning population. The coming years will test the government’s ability to turn ambitious infrastructure plans, especially the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Badagry-Sokoto superhighway, into reality.

Security remains a paramount concern for Nigerians, and the performance of the Minister of Defence is crucial in this regard. Despite some efforts to combat insurgency and banditry, many Nigerians still feel unsafe. The situation in the North-East and North-West regions has shown little improvement. Bandits are still occupying territories in the North-West and preventing farmers from accessing their farmlands.

While there have been successful military operations, the overall strategy seems reactive rather than proactive. The administration must rethink its security policies to provide lasting peace and stability. The minister of defence has failed in his assignment.

Despite the administration’s efforts in other areas, health and education have not received the attention they deserve. The health sector remains underfunded and ill-equipped to handle the country’s needs, while the education system continues to struggle with inadequate infrastructure, frequent strikes, and poor quality of instruction.

These sectors are critical for the country’s future, and the lack of significant progress in these areas is concerning. The administration should prioritise investments in health and education if it hopes to foster a well-educated and healthy population capable of driving economic growth and social development.

The healthcare system is still underfunded and overburdened, and the minister’s efforts to improve it have not yet had a noticeable impact. The Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Ali Pate, has failed to make the necessary impacts in the sector, which is reeling under the exit of professionals leaving the country in droves.

Similarly, the education sector is plagued by strikes, poor funding, and dilapidated infrastructure. The administration’s commitment to human capital development must translate into tangible actions, or the country’s prospects could be at risk. Rather than tackle these age-old issues, the Education Minister, Tahir Mamman, is concerned with regulating the university admissions age. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar describes the idea of pegging age limits for entry to tertiary institutions as “an absurdity and a disincentive to scholarship.” He is right.

Nigeria remains energy-poor with no tangible improvement in power supply. The government’s argument that increasing tariffs would lead to improved power supply turned out false, as electricity has remained epileptic despite the tariff hike and withdrawal of electricity subsidy.

Billions of dollars of investments in the power sector have only yielded a mere 5,000 megawatts of public electricity supply. The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, seems confounded by the situation.He has yet to take full charge of the sector from his lacklustre performance.

The Tinubu administration is still struggling to stem the rising food costs. Food is expensive, and many Nigerians can no longer afford basic staples. Farmers cannot go to the farms due to insecurity, and the hope of a bumper harvest is threatened by flooding. Though the government recognised food security as a critical issue and launched various initiatives to address it, this has not reprieved the beleaguered citizens.

While there have been positive steps, such as investments in infrastructure, support for smallholder farmers, and efforts to promote climate-smart agriculture, significant challenges remain. High inflation, ongoing security concerns, and implementation gaps are substantial obstacles to achieving sustainable food security.

Moving forward, the administration will need to focus on improving the execution of its policies, addressing the root causes of economic instability, and enhancing coordination among all stakeholders involved in food security. The agriculture ministry should engage more with farmers at the grassroots through their cooperatives and societies.

Notwithstanding its critical importance to national cohesion and development, the sports sector has not received the required attention. The corruption and mismanagement that rendered the sector comatose have not been addressed by the Sports Minister, John Enoh, who appears clueless about sports administration. Nigeria’s woeful outing at the just-concluded Paris Olympics, despite spending N12 billion on the team, exposed Enoh’s naivety. The sector needs a capable hand.

Many sports facilities in Nigeria are outdated and need significant upgrades. While plans for renovation and construction have been announced, the pace of progress has been slow, limiting the potential for athlete development and international hosting opportunities. The maintenance culture is poor, meaning that even newly renovated facilities can quickly fall into disrepair without proper upkeep. Streamlining processes and improving transparency are crucial for the success of sports management initiatives.

Though the government appears to be focused on refinery rehabilitation, Nigeria’s state-owned refineries are comatose. This means the country remains heavily reliant on imported fuel. This continues to expose Nigeria to global oil price fluctuations and puts pressure on foreign exchange reserves. As the Petroleum Minister, Tinubu has been unable to curb the challenges in the oil sector, such as oil theft, ageing infrastructure, reduced investment, and operational inefficiencies. The country has struggled to meet its OPEC production quota. This has further impacted revenues. The administration should address these operational challenges to restore and increase production levels.

Wearied by years of unmet expectations, the people are eager for visible and impactful change. Tinubu’s ministers should ensure that their contributions lead to a well-governed Nigeria prepared to face the future.

These Senators and politicians are emboldened due to the fact that we now have a president who is a notorious narcotics drug trafficker, certificate forger, buccaneering power grabber engaging in criminal state capture.

Salewa97:
The report is a sponsored one.

The Yoruba's are not even the most populous in Nigeria, how come they are leading in this category?

The target is to discredit the Yoruba's ahead of 2027 election.

Same way they tried to discredit the northerners with the same report.

The Igbo's are not leading in any category but as usual, they are the ones benefiting from the propaganda

No one is trying to discredit the Yorubas ahead of 2027 election, The Yorubas are the ones discrediting themselves

Angelfrost:
Conquered?!! Nah!

He conquered the Epl tay tay after he won the 3rd straight title and matched Alex Ferguson's unbeaten record.

At this point, nigga has DESECRATED the EPL.

Angelfrost:
Man City is winning that 5th straight EPL...!

No one is looking likely to spoil it for them.

Guardiola must be getting seriously BORED at this point.

The Spaniard have conquered the EPL.

It's quite unfortunate

Sangoamadioha1:
German tax issue caused the breakdown. Labbadia wanted NFF to pay his German tax requirement but NFF says they can't pay 35-40% of his salary as tax and still pay him his salary fully.
I don't think incompetence comes in here because this issue was not brought up by Labbadia during negotiations.

So NFF went to town to announce him as the new Super Eagles coach when the contract terms have not been agreed upon by both parties.

Ojuntana:
How does this reduce the price of garri in the market or stop askari from collecting N50 Roger on the road?


Yeyenatu. Most corrupt police in the world feeling funky

No police officer collects N50 Roger under this Tinubu regime

They have long ungraded to higher amount

It is the most anticipated Tournament in the World.
A single World Cup Trophy is greater than 13 UCL. QED.

Fact

NIGERIA has become notorious for killings. Non-state actors are plundering and engaging in murderous misadventures while the security agencies seem bereft of strategies to curb their excesses. President Bola Tinubu, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the Service Chiefs should fashion a decisive plan to end the siege.

In a new report, the Netherlands-based Observatory of Religious Freedom in Africa said 55,910 civilians were killed between October 2019 and September 2023. This covers mostly President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term. The ORFA pointed out that 81 per cent of civilian killings occurred on land, and the little-known Fulani Ethnic Militia, Boko Haram, ISWAP, and others perpetrated them.

It stated that the North-Central had 3,007 incidents of extreme violence, including 2,010 killings, 700 abductions, and 297 incidents of killings and kidnappings. Although the researchers focused on the North-Central and Southern Kaduna, they expressed concern that the government had concentrated its resources on the scourge in the North-East and North-West, leaving the other zones to intrusion and massacres.

Irrespective of religious and ethnic colourations, Nigerians are under the crossfire of Islamic insurgents, secessionists, bandits, violent Fulani herdsmen, and criminals. Nigeria is flanked on all zones by brutish criminals while citizens live in trepidation.

Recent data by a security consulting firm, Beacon Security and Intelligence foregrounds the alarming reality. It revealed that 2,583 people were killed and 2,164 were abducted in the first quarter of the year. Over 80 per cent of the killings and 94 per cent of abductions occurred in the North.

Contrary to Ribadu’s claim that killings and abductions had subsided in the country, data by the firm showed that an average of 28 persons were killed and 24 persons kidnapped daily. This underscores the dilemma Nigerians faced while navigating socioeconomic hardship impaled on them by the twin deleterious policies of the Tinubu administration.

The government has failed in its primal duty to protect the lives and properties of law-abiding citizens from violent groups and persons. The outcome is food insecurity, displacement from homelands, malnutrition, a spike in the number of out-of-school children, and gross underdevelopment.

Nigeria is ranked 15th and scored 96.6 in the 2024 Fragile States Index. It shares this status with war-torn Libya (16th), Guinea (17th), Zimbabwe (18th), Niger (19th), and Cameroon (20th).

The government should address the root of insecurity. Poverty, unemployment, and lack of education are breeding grounds for extremism and violence. Without tackling these underlying issues, any military or police response will be short-lived.

In the long term, the Tinubu administration should invest in comprehensive social programmes to alleviate poverty and provide opportunities for the youth. This should be coupled with an emphasis on education, particularly in conflict-prone areas, to counter radical ideologies and provide alternatives to those who might otherwise be drawn into criminal activities.

Those who perpetrate violence should be punished. The current reign of impunity emboldens criminals, as they believe they can act without consequences. Swift and fair trials, coupled with stringent penalties, will serve as a deterrent to those who might consider taking up arms against innocent citizens.

The borders are porous. Nigeria should strengthen its ties with neighbouring countries and international organisations to combat cross-border terrorism and arms smuggling. Enhanced intelligence sharing and joint military operations can help curb the influx of weapons and insurgents into Nigeria. The country should seek more support from global partners in terms of technology, training, and funding to bolster its security agencies.

Citizens should divulge information to security agencies to aid intelligence gathering.

The government should rise to fulfil its most fundamental duty: protect the lives and property of its citizens. A single police force is partly to blame; Tinubu should begin the path towards state police. The path to a secure Nigeria is arduous but not impossible.’
