richmond500:
just like u all lied to urselves that Obi won 2023 election?

obidark:
some of you are soo angry at nigeria that you would even allow enemies to defeat nigeria....

i dont understand how that is gonna favour any of you against nigeria....
the people could be very dangerous....what do you christians want to do then....??
enemy of my enemy tactics doesnt always work out well....

richmond500:
Insurgency has reduced from what we had in Buhari and Goodluck time.
But economy has been on a steady decline

Lanruze:
Tinubu and his economic team should be humble enough to seek opinions from Obj and his economic team on debt forgiveness.

Multi-lateral agencies like the IMF look for impoverished developing countries to exploit.

Imagine the interest on principal and also sure that some of those funds we diverted , mismanaged or over inflated.

Lumig:
You're totally correct, surprisingly most Nigerians are oblivious of this fact. They are derailed by the sentiments and and negative narratives about Nigeria

MightySparrow:
None of these people are fit for Nigeria. These are prodigal fathers.


We need more of younger generations people that do not share the philosophy of bigotry and tribalism.


Those ones are possibly rare or not yet born. Anybody from forty years upwards, may not be able to save this country.

All we need is generational mentality gap. I don't really see anything Atiku, Obi, Atiku/Obi, Tinubu or any of these generational block can do differently. They are all birds of the same feather.

Zubeezanga:
resign will your useless father give them job Are you daft or something, how many Nigerian youths are without jobs and one fuuul that his mom and dad is feeding is asking a real man to resign from his job because he or she complained out many shortcomings of the govt and you are blabbing, I no blame you ma who dash you money buy data I blame, if you ever man up in your life and leave your parents home you might add some ounce of common sense in your that your retarded and derailed mentality.

Successlane:
Very TRUE, but let's talk about DISCO here.

Those people? they are just enemy of the consumers.

PHED, disabled prepaid meters in PortHarcourt, claiming they are obsolete and instead of replacing them immediately as instructed by NERC,

they advise customers to be connected directly and be receiving ESTIMATED bills, which most people have rejected.

davidif:
Uhm, first of all the cold war is over.
Secondly, Cuba has not been invaded by the US. Big difference. Sanctions are different from invasion.
Thirdly, Cuba is also poor because it doesnt embrace the free market capitalism. They are still stuck on communism that doesn't work.

davidif:
Uhm, Mexico is a sovereign nation and they can do what they want.

davidif:
The first question we should be asking is what is Russia doing in Ukraine in the first place? I thought the era of land grabbing was over? Abi, did I miss something? I mean Russia is already the largest nation by landmass, yet they still want more.

BreconHills:
You have proof of this?

BreconHills:
Tell us why the naira is falling. Avoid generalities and sound bites. Just tell us using basic economics why it is falling

saintopus:
My question is why is it that since Dangote Refinery started producing why is the naira keep falling even though we were told that 40% of our FX is used for importing petrol.

The more you look, the less you see

Sheuns:
Nigeria. The country that defies all economic logics.

jumper524:
A lot of us can't see that our country has been projected never to succeed.

Firstly, countries are trying hard to improve their OPEC quota but then the situation with Nigeria is different.
In 2014 we were effortlessly exporting the 2.5 million barrel daily.
There was massive recruitment into the special force in order to combat militancy, there was better negotiation with militants heads and Niger delta stake holders in order to improve the situation since 2015 but then we're loosing extra 1million barrel per day.
Some would say the FG is responsible but then every logical step has been taken by the FG..
The FG needs those extra 1million being lost daily so they can steal, settle some debt and individuals but then we're loosing these stuffs...
The real question to ask is unknown sef.
How do we survive the onslaught.
Who's sabotaging us.
A refinery that was suppose to be our economic solution is into play but then our exchange rate was bleeped beyound measure to make it happen.
In 2014 we had almost zero rice produce, zero refinery, zero active rail way, zero car manufacturing company yet our exchange rate was 180..
Today we've improved on these stuffs yet the economy continue to decline.
What's happening I ask again?

Image123:
pointless, good bye.

Image123:
Back to tribal rants, aren't you? Speaking of goodwill, do you know anything about it and who's enjoyed it the most since 1999?

Image123:
It has to be well. The more you look, the less you see is naija's case.

In a nutshell, Tinubu was, is and continues to be better than Obi or Atiku and has my vote if those are the options. Buhari was a better candidate than GEJ in 2015. OBJ should have done better and had everything to do better, but perhaps he wasn't visionary enough. That's a wrap.

Keep your silly wishes to yourself; you've mentioned this a couple of times and i have deliberately ignored the folly. Now you have somehow jumped to which party is better, from Obi to christian to Igbo to OBJ and now PDP.



i didn't say, the facts say so, you must have Google and learn to use it on your device. This spoonfeeding isunfortunate. OBJ's 8 years of do or die politics, massive corruption and virtual sale of our nation exposed the keg of gunpowder that the nation had been literarily sitting on for decades. Some of the fruits of his government were boko haram terrorism, pipeline vandalism and militancy. The ones peculiar to the South-south were not very pronounced compared to the north, as our brother GEJ was in power, and anyway, there was a lot of money and stealing (which according to GEJ is not corruption) to go around.



i already mentioned that OBJ achieved debt forgiveness. How are you asking me to show you that his debt profile was low again? Do you lack comprehension? Scroll back though, i had previously shown you the debts of GEJ, Buhari and Tinubu here, i don't know what you want again. You don't understand simple economics of the monies involved/wasted in "defending" the naira by GEJ and PMB. You will still ask through the back door for a lecture on that as well after another round of useless wishes.

hopexter:
That’s why PDP is requesting for proof. Paying a debt of 90 billion is a big lie by Otti, it’s just another avenue to siphon money.

Image123:
Sorry for being 'mannerless' but you have been very ridiculous to deal with and constantly shifting goalposts and acting like you are a teenager with no knowledge of history. BTW, you have moved your goalpost yet again. Earlier, you were concerned about Igbos, and then Obi, now you just hope to prove that OBJ is good. Quite funny if not annoying. i never mentioned OBJ, i said Buhari was a better choice than GEJ in 2015 and i have given reasons. i said Tinubu was, is and will continue to be a better choice than Obi. You brought up the need to support Igbos out of thin air, i disproved that as there was no major Igbo contender. You have not focused on the topic AT ALL. Rather, you are learning by the back door. But since you are actually asking nicely, i will oblige you yet again.

i want to hope that you noticed the more than times 4 (400%) jump of official naira to dollar rate from 1999 to 2000. OBJ enjoyed everything possible, a new start, experience, and unity from in and out. He should have done every good thing that we are currently looking for. All he used the goodwill to do was look for debt forgiveness, get himself and his vice private university.
