Politics / Re: Between Trader Obi And US President. by calyx: 12:03am On Jan 30, 2023 |
Oga context is KEY. Share the entire video. The point he has always made is that Nigeria needs to pull about 140 million out of poverty and so we do not have the leverage to throw away money on infrastructure that does not promote production. Thats the point. US is trying to maintain its hold as the No 1 economy in the world, while Nigeria is trying to pull over 60% of its population out of poverty. What are your priorities Thats the difference. And then if this is the case, why is investment in infrastructure one of the cardinal pivots of his manifesto? Borrow and build infrastructure that can make enough money to pay back the debt! 2 Likes |

muykem: Let me answer you with just one example. In 2007, when I started working in a Bank HQ in Lagos, domestic flight cost was about N12K to N14K. We used to rush Aero Contractor flight promo then for N8K. In 2015 when APC took over, domestic ticket cost was also an avearge of N15K to N18K (Over 8 years). Fast foward to seven years after, domestic flight ticket cost N80K to N100K per leg. Do you need more examples? 1 Like |

Sergio101: I diagree. This is a time for well meaning Igbos to begin to ask critical questions about this evil organisation called IPOB. Its only a matter of time. People cannot continue to condone this wanton killings and destructions. And maybe the IPOB people that have relocated to Anambra from Imo are calling the federal government to smoke them out the way they did in Imo. I can no longer travel to the East in peace.

Brimstone77: Oga please stop spewing nonsense and dont mention Igbo in the same sentence with IPOB. You IPOB guys are given to self-deceit. Most sane Igbo families do not and will never have any association with the useless entity. Keep deceiving yourselves. Many of my guys that supported the Biafra cause are now washing their hands off it. If IPOB could go rogue so quickly with the level of brainwashing that has gone in there, Taliban would be a child's play compared to the havoc you guys would cause. Most of us now appreciate the reason South-South became very hostile to matters concerning Biafra restoration. SE Igbos are now doing the same. |
Politics / Re: Soludo Has No Manifestos And No Plans For Ndi-anambra by calyx: 10:29pm On Sep 01, 2021 |
LoooL. This one's strategy is to use Soludo's name to seek popularity. Manifesto is not about paying people to produce a bunch of bound papers you cant defend what is inside. The Professor has said clearly when he will release his manifesto ... at the official launch of his campaign. If Ifeanyi Ubah is looking for somethimng more to copy, he has failed. That manifesto will be too complex for a NECO certificate holder to defend. Nonsense. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Mr Macaroni Is An Igbo Man ?? by calyx: 1:35pm On Feb 13, 2021 |
flokii: Please note that there as many Igbos or at least close to it as Yorubas in Lagos (ok let me just say the urban areas). And outside Federal & State Govts., in share numbers, Igbos have the next largest investments in Lagos. Once you achieve this feat in Anambra and other places you mentioned, then you can come back and make this comment again. Nonsense |
Politics / Re: Wike To Chairmen: If IPOB Flag Is Hoisted In Your LG, I Will Sack You by calyx: 12:03am On Oct 27, 2020 |
flamingREED:This is a joke right? Many Igbos sympathized with IPOB at some point but not any more. IPOB has turned to a complete nuisance and now does more harm than good. I hear some of the things the man says and I think that the group is gradually becoming another Boko Haram. Many people that associate with the group currently are hoodlums, bitter unemployed young people, artisans, and the rest. He does say some things that make sense sometimes but man he needs to stop. It’s getting really overboard. |
Politics / Re: Anambra 2021 Governorship Election: Soludo Gets APGA Ticket by calyx: 5:52pm On Oct 14, 2020 |
isthatso: Oga don’t say what you do not know next time. 1. The reason you gave above is not why Sanusi was removed as CBN Governor. Very far from it. 2. You also do not know how the CBN works. The CBN is the Federal Govt’s bank. Any Agency of the Federal Govt that has allocation duely budgeted for and approved can get such money’s from the Central Bank and it’s not the business of the CBN Governor. The CBN only keeps the money for Federal Govt or it’s agencies to withdraw with due approvals. Do you need the MD of a commercial bank to withdraw your change in that Bank? Next time before you accuse people of corruption, be sure you understand what you are saying or have your facts clear. |
Politics / Re: Anambra 2021 Governorship Election: Soludo Gets APGA Ticket by calyx: 12:31pm On Oct 14, 2020 |
I believe Soludo is the person Anambra needs at this time in her history. With the continuous dwindling of allocation from center, Anambra needs a thinker and a visionary. A disruptive mindset with bold ideas to engineer a complete shift from the normal. That’s where Soludo is miles ahead of the other contestants. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Onitsha Dry Port: Ohanaeze Extols Buhari, Amaechi by calyx: 7:52am On Oct 11, 2020 |
There is no known organization like Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC). Ohaneze Ndigbo has repeatedly said that organization neither exists nor expresses the views of Ohaneze as an organization or Ndigbo as a group. Some newspapers will quickly run to the impostor Okechukwu Isiguzoro for comments just to create some sensation... knowing he doesn’t represent any known group. The launch of the dry port is a good thing I believe and my clarification as per OYC has nothing to do with that development. |

tuale4u: No you can'tc choose to focus on misinformation. Where the president reduced the BMW budget from N3.4 bn in 1st version to N340mn in 2nd, he added an outrageous N3.9bn for maintenance of the villa in 2016 in the 2nd version...for a villa that was just tastefully refurbished. In addition, he added a N795mill website update for solid minerals ministry in 2nd version amongst others. How is the 2nd one better |

The pastor is looking too intimidated... I dont blame him though considering all the horse-trading that has gone into his selection and the fact that Buhari even rejected him at some point. The pastor also understands he has just been placed there to protect Tinubu's interest, considering the top shots that easily would have clinched the position. Buhari was not helpful at all...Its soooo easy to see Buhari does not like this guy and is not comfortable in this picture. He clearly would have preferred someone else (just put this side by side his picture that circulated sometime with Fashola) 4 Likes |

allcomage: Thank you! I think there are only a few people that really understand this country or that can be as honest as this to themselves. I maintain that Nobody and No saint (and I believe in saints) and No ex-military or ex-civilian or current military or civilian person can save Nigeria as currently constituted. Until we get to the point in this country where we see/have less of Abuja and more of our Local Governments/States, we will continue to go round in a vicious cycle. Devolve powers from the Center to constituent Regions/States/Local governments, so people can own their developments or lack of it. And I didnt forget, find an acceptable way to ensure the resources from oil (this is running dry anyways) is put to use to develop whatever available resources in these other parts. We can discuss what works best, and finetune as we proceed. 2015 isnt a bad time to start. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Tinubu - FG Practising Voodoo Economic Policy by calyx: 10:31am On Mar 08, 2013 |
omonnakoda: Foreign reserves are not FG funds . Foreign reserves are the substance or validation of every Naira in circulation. Naira notes are just paper and it is those foreign reserves that give them any meaning. In Nigeria we produce little and import much and it is foreign reserves that give the Naira any value/power to pay for imports. If we produce what we need we would need less foreign reserves and our foreign reserves would be in trillions. God bless you. Am so shocked by Tinubu's brazen ignorance of how Foreign Reserves work! 1 Like |
