I disagree.this is going to be the toughest period.things will start looking up from the second quarter of 2024 gradually.cardoso policy is good,the banning of those items brought us here.before banning imports,let us be heavily self sufficient and independent not the other way.we need to increase dollar flow while gradually reducing the amount of naira in circulation.

Lol.

"We need to increase dollar flow".

Please kindly explain how your President and his cbn governor intend to make this happen.

The last American election was no different from our just concluded elections.

I strongly disagree.

RikudoSennin:
I can’t wait to vote that idiot out. Since he been rigged in, it’s chaos, inflation and wars. No prosperity.

His overall decisions in the last 12 months have been succinctly adjudged to have been extremely detrimental to the interests of the American people and his ratings are taking a very quick tumble.

Barring any miracles, I don't see him returning to the Oval office next year. Good thing the American democracy can't be financially influenced as blatantly as ours in Nigeria.

Appointment of more ministers,aides is not a big issue.the big issue is fixing the economy,power supply,infrastructure,insecurity,corruption, education,health system and the firsr step is to appoint the right people to critical,sensitive positions which tinubu has done.to fix the economy,we cannot reduce expenditure but rather increase expenditure,increase our revenue base,employ more.there is too much poverty that we cannot afford to reduce spending but increased govt coverage.tinubu believes in carrying people along,large government,empowering and rewarding people hence his large govt.nigeria has 200 mil people so the govt must spread it's net extra...

The NSE has made the highest gains ever,tinubu has set up a world class economic team who have started churning out policies to salvage the situation.dele alake is seriously working to macimise and open our solid minerals sector,you can see the hands of tunji in interior ministry.our own owan enoh is familiarizing in the sports sector.betta edu has been super active,churning out various initiatives from this very one to reforming npower,paying backlogs,caring for the IDs,bringing new initiatives.yoi can see what wike is doing in fct,the new policies of CBN gov to strengthen the naira.yoi can see umahi's moves,the tax reforms from taiwo oyedele.yoi can see how the military are routing remnants of Boko and the bandits.give this man time odum..

The plan to buy new vehicles by nass has nothing to do with tinubu please.the legislature is a different arm of govt.our concern is with executive who execute policies

I can spend another handful of minutes dissecting all you listed but I have to admit, I'm quite botched. Had the entirety of yesterday proofreading and editing a 30 page document so my senses are in a bit of a drool.

One thing I can tell you for free is, Yemi Cadoso's first policy of lifting import restrictions on 43 items is going to backfire. Fuel price is going to see another clamour for an increase. And the dollar is not going to close the year below 950 naira (this is even being generous).

And by the first quarter of next year, that's when Nigerians will understand the actual dictionary definition of "suffering".

garfield1:
It will not be perfect but will be far better than what you saw under bubu.if things doesn't change for better by 2026,I'll reconsider my support

That's if Nigerians survive the next 6 months. I won't be surprised if we enter a recession by the first quarter of next year. The feelers and pointers are glaringly obvious.

Daveconsult007:
Why are you obsessed with investment, mansions and warehouse of Igbo people?

When you see the need to converse with a stranger, even on an anonymous platform, you should have the decency to greet first, properly follow the timeline of comments that led to the one that piqued your interest, before asking offensive questions.

If you're indeed the consultant your profile claims you are, behavioural etiquette should be no challenge to you.

garfield1:
A lot received it though there was a lot of diversion.5k was meagre so tinubu is raising it.anyway,the fg has a social register endorsed by world bank and each state has their own

Upon this same rock will we gather, and in this very sanctum shall I remind you of this conversation when this conditional cash transfer goes haywire. I'll be very enthusiastic to read what excuses you'll have then to explain things away.

garfield1:
You still don't get it.for tinubu to repair tinubu's rot,he was make difficult choices.theres no easy options please.buhari has never been good economically but tinubu is good at it.give this man at least till January.
The indices are indicators or ratings from rating agencies which clearly said Nigeria economy will rebounce gradually from next year.all hands are on deck to fix the economy.tinubu isn't foolish,he knows Nigerians are most concerned with the economy and when it is fixed,he buys their mind.
How is tinubu wallowing in opulence? Tinubu has been a man of high taste,opulence and wealth long ago so should he now pretend to be poor? So because dangote accepts to join politics for instance,he should hide his wealth? This is ludicrous

Over 50 ministers: First in our democratic history.
Thousands of aides so far attached to his appointees. Appropriation for over 350 land cruisers with each worth 160 million naira, being funded with loans. An array of stupendous government expenditures in just 4 months. A host of other executive excesses I cannot list.

Is all of that indicative of a government that recognises the dire situation of the country to you?

Have you seen the proposed 2024 budget? Have you seen the increase in personnel cost? With Buhari we were lamenting for a cut in cost of governance, only for your President to come and increase budgetary allocation with an extra 6 trillion naira. That is outside the supplementary budget he has already submitted to the NASS for the remainder of this year.

But on this end of the divide, the middle class has almost been completely eroded. Another 7million Nigerians have joined the poverty crowd. But we're to sit on our hands and give him time.

Lol.

Joe Biden is going to lose reelection next year and that's no longer up for debates.

garfield1:
Honestly,a lot of Nigerians are in stark poverty and need urgent govt intervention hence that initiative.even in developed countries,govt takes care of a category of poor,aged,jobless people.d

Conditional cash transfer schemes in Nigeria are absolutely and irrefutably centered on deceit, thievery and resplendent corruption.

Buhari did it for approximately 4years, how many people did you ever meet who told you they received those monies? They claim they generated a social register to determine the poor families to keep on the payroll, but we all saw how the Minister of Humanitarian affairs became a billionaire off those schemes.

Oga, fi mi le jarey!

garfield1:
There's nothing wrong in having many media aides esp as the opposition is strong in the media inorder to tackle any falsehood and also sell or publicize the efforts of the administration.an economy destroyed in 8 years cannot be repaired within 4 months mr.this is commonsense.give him at least a year,the indices are looking good

Really garfield?

The indices are looking good? The current Nigerian indices are looking good? Are you actually being fvcking serious right now..😂?

No one was expecting your President to fix Buhari's 8years of idiocy (which I compulsively need remind you that y'all supported while it lasted), in 4 months. But completely destroying and eroding the bit Nigerians had to hold on to, while he and his cronies waltz the country in opulence and extravagance, has to be the height of incompetence and leadership thoughtlessness.

garfield1:
Opposition floated a propaganda that tinubu is on icu and tinubu floated a video to dispel the news.why are you pained? I told you tinubu has made so much appointments in the economic and financial sector as much as he did in the media aspect,you neglected it

Irrespective of the economic appointments he has made, your president has more information and media aides than the number meant to advise on the economy.

And we're all seeing the results so far.

garfield1:
Tinubu simply upgraded and modified it na from 1 mil to 15 mil beneficiaries.guy,some people are so poor that they need govt support so sharap

See? Now you're asking me to "sharap"😂. If I decide to dish you a come-back, you'll start playing the victim card.

You sabi the kind person wey I be but you dey always quick find my trouble. If I answer you now, you go still whinge and whine like puppy wey dey lack attention.

garfield1:
I'll ignore the insults maturely unlike you.the thread is about tinubu and his trek to his office not the economy.a sensible person will not mix things up.concerning the economic aspect,I answered you still yet you keep rambling.

Oh, now you see the need to respond "maturely"? After using the phrase "talking nonsense as usual" to describe me? Come on garfield, you should know we're both beyond the point where conversational gimmicks go unnoticed.

I know what the thread is about, which in actuality is an embarrassing publicity stunt anyway. Nigeria is collapsing and your President's media aides are uploading propaganda videos of him taking walks to the office, as if that is supposed to fix the litany of problems we have.

Ironically, it was another user who even raised the issue of the economy and Tinubu's unnecessary army of media aides, which I replied. But because you probably always get a hard-on from taking potty shots at me, you settled on my own response to the originating comment. Now I respond in kind and I'm the demon..😂

Niggaaah!!

garfield1:
Why digressing? We are talking of the propaganda about his health and how he is countering it and your talking nonsense as usual? By the way, tinubu has appointed as much economic experts to tackle the ailing sector

That's the problem with some of you.

You happen on a thread and without bothering to follow the timeline of comments, you quote a random comment and launch your puerile attacks.

There are days you come on nairaland and drop comments like someone who has absolute command of his senses. Other days you just saunter in and yammer like an habitual drunk who's forgotten the path to his bedroom.

0taPiaPia:
[/i]

What you said here contradicts what you said earlier. Choose a standpoint.

My standpoint is clear enough, if you opt to be discerning and open-minded.

Even if I have to resort to violence for self-actualization tomorrow, I will not do that by destroying my region and people's livelihoods.

garfield1:
But opposition started a propaganda that tinubu is on life support

And instead of Tinubu appointing financial and economic experts to face the collapsing economy, he's appointing more media aides to counter propaganda with more propaganda, abi?

Same nonsense Buhari spent 8years doing until he put us on our knees, is what Tinubu is continuing and that's fine by you?

Is it only me who's finding it weird that someone created a post on facebook and basically all the comments in the screenshots are from "Igbo" names and 97 percent of the comments are agreeing with the poster..😂?

Is it that the owner of that timeline does not have friends from other tribes? Over 300 tribes in Nigeria and an entire reel of over 30 comments all have Igbo names.

What do I even know?!

Iqtest:
Sir, I'm a big fan of your comments on Nairaland, but I was disappointed by your stance on this issue, sir. I support Palestine, and I advocate for the two-state solution. I opposed Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The Palestinian attack on Israel was wrong and inexcusable. However, I don't think that justifies the Israeli military response, which has resulted in the deaths of many civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure.
Sir please imagine if isreal didn't had a good air defense system, Israel would have been wiped off the surface of the earth now.
My dad a retired general favorite quote is "attempted murder is murder"
What Palestine did last week Saturday is attempted genocide it will only be fair isreal gave them a test of her own medicine.
Please i am not Islamphobic (I'm not even a religious one)

I had no problems with self-defense from day one, but this very act of leveling a hospital with thousands of women and children is inexcusable under any pretext.

Even Russia, despite how much they've been accused of dictatorship and intolerance, has not perpetuated this level of murder in Ukraine since their war began. This is same as the kind of mindset the US had when they levelled Hiroshima with a nuke.

Mtscheew!

Bunch of thieving retards!

McStoic:
Nothing dey turn anything. Keep kwayet

Go and tell your village head to keep quiet. Agbaya!

Airlord2030:
what about your stupid akwaibom tribe?

Talk about your minority unknown tribe frist

See this one..😂! Where did you come from?

WriteerNig:
⚡Failed Islamic Jihad rocket caused the deadly explosion at the Gaza hospital, says IDF.

Israeli government is not just a murderous entity but a gathering of lying sons of bitches.

Through out this fighting, Hamas hasn't fired a single rocket capable of this level of devastation.

Damage control in the mud!

Bayelsa state needs urgent help!

I'm honestly proud of Ebonyi state. Kudos to Cross River for making the top 10.

Bayelsa state sha!

Diligence:
Hamas just ignited bonfire at that hospital. Shey you don't know how buildings bombed by IDF look like? Propaganda won't work this time round!

Hamas/Hezbollah/Islamic Jihardists: una own don finish!

Oga shut up!

Israel has already released a statement in defence of their action claiming they had issued warning to the Palestines to evacuate the hospital. What the fvck are you trying to lie about here?!

Just shut the fvck up!

This right here.. Just this.. Might be the reason this war takes a whole new turn.

Who drops bombs on hospitals? This is the mindless carnage Christians are supporting in the name of one stupid biblical god of Israelites.

How then are you bastards different from the muslims you label terrorists?

EmirofAfonjaz:
The sit at home initiative really shook the foundations of that cesspit. . Dont believe propaganda churned out by worthless Terrorist during the buhar administration. Have you heard of UGM since Tinubu?

ALL THOSE ATTACKs during Buhari's regime were state sponsored to drive a narrative against IPOB. This is because IPOB dealt with Fulani herdsmen and exposed the workings of the fulani jihad, as experienced in the SW now.

now understand this...

in a Biafran enclave self governance is key....You will rule yourselves...So if fools like Asari "come out" you deal with them. if useless elders come out you deal with them. How can IMOKE of Cross Rivers , be compared to a "TINAPA " Donald Duke? IGBOs wanted Tinapa to succeed badly, but YORUBA used SEA Piracy Propaganda to demarket the project. immediately TINAPA died, they hurriedly completed the LAGOS FTZ (Free Trade ZONE) that is now a failed project!

IGBOs are getting it right by putting their leaders to task constantly. every eastern governor wants to be a construction epicenter. that shows, that they are progressive in nature.

BIAFRA for me...is development and equity..and i know IGBOs arent fvvcked as potrayed by the same people that makesure "owners" of the so called oil are casual workers, while they tell you IGBOs that dont own any well will sabotage you.

Unless you have any unpalatable experience with an IGBO person..just know that Yoruba dont give a flying fvvvck about you, let alone the North.

You make a decent case for the course and compared to a handful of other Biafran enthusiasts here, you seem capable and patient enough to hold an informed discourse where necessary.

And as for Asari Dokubo, he's of no consequence outside his enclave in Rivers state. So he's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. A younger generation of feisty and intelligent Niger Deltans are beginning to emerge and we are not oblivious of what our future should hold. Men like Asari are a dying breed and time is swiftly putting paid to their excesses.

CodeTemplar:
What is "one mudi"?

You no well at all o. What happens to the millions - 500 Ebonyi people?

Don't worry about Ebonyi people. Nwifuru is taking care of them.

Worry about your six cups of rice and half a pack of spaghetti .

Tinubu is walking uprightly to his Aso rock villa with panache and swag!

Dollar has dropped to 300 naira. Fuel is now 150 naira. Food inflation is at 10 percent. Minimum wage is 200K.

All hail King Midas!!

CodeTemplar:
bla bla bla. 500 out of millions in need.

How many cups of rice do you still have left from the "One mudu" you got from your State governor..😂?

Send your account details make I buy you two mudus join make hungry no finish you before October finish.

Hopefully, he brings value to the Commission.

But personally, I see no need why EFCC and ICPC should be existing independently. Both perform duplicated roles and things like this should be considered where ballooning cost of governance becomes an issue of national concern.
