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!

Tinubumyman:
ibos will be taken 100 years back into slavery after this election..... Continue ur bitterness.... Marginalization of heavy count will visit u in every where in the country...

How old are you again Lets start from there.

muykem:
Do me a favour by also state the prices of those commodities in 1999 when PDP took over government.

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?

LegendHero:
Nice one pastor.

—If 90% of Igbo voted Atiku in 2019.

—Atiku is also currently contesting, but all of them are now saying they will vote for Obi simply because he is Igbo.

—Then why can’t a Yoruba vote for Tinubu because he is Yoruba too?

God bless this pastor. Those lunatics shouting Yoruba Muslim/Christian can cry blood.

You are wrong. The overwhelming support for Obi is mostly because of the belief that its the turn of the South... not necessarily because of an animosity towards the person of Atiku (regardless of any other concerns)

jkpbestseries:
Is also done in US and UK.

But they don't steal the money... that's the difference.
Many times over 95% of the money in those countries are accounted for.

KingKO22:
Obi is running up and down like an orphan

No single heavyweight political ally
He is just running as a man who has mad man as his PA

Obi ran to meet Wike in London but Wike ran to meet Tinubu in London

You can see who is boss and errand boy

I have been waiting for the picture of Wike and Tinubu whether in France or London or even Iragbiji

This report is a joke right?

So it was easier to do business in Borno than Lagos?

Please please... go and be looking for something else. This one is an epic fail

murmee:
You are quite right. I don't really like Soludo.
The reason is that he caused a lot of the problems in CBN and the Nigerian banks in general.
When ex President Obasanjo asked him to reform the banks by merging them in order to make the banks stronger, Soludo became corrupt and instead of coming up with 12 or 14 strong banks as instructed, he came out with over 25 banks.
Soon after he left the CBN, the banks started having problems again and are now having to merge. A good example is the Access and Diamond banks merger.
Right now, a lot of the existing banks are just struggling to get along. So I don't see anything fantastic about Soludo.
But Anambra state deserves whatever they want!

This comment reeks of ignorance and saying things you dont know jack about.

Sergio101:

Let all Igbo here in nairaland avoid his threads. And it will die a natural death.
We are actually the one giving him the attention he crave

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. Time will tell

hammer567:




SOONER OR LATER, FULANI LIKE YOU WILL LEARN THE MEANING OF 5%



IGBO PEOPLE ARE NOT EASY TO CONQUER.



KEEP KILLING PEOPLE IN SE AND BLAMING IPOB, THINKING WE WILL TURN ON THEM.



EVERYBODY IN SE IS IPOB, HENCE WE CANNOT TURN ON OURSELVES.

You guys deceive yourselves too much. The same thing you tried to do with the South South at some point.

Brimstone77:
ogbeni mechie onu nsi gi there....tell me how ipob caused the death of this said woman...

Igbos will rather hunt you and your families for standing on their way to freedom...


Travel across the entire east and tell me who caused all the bad roads..

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.

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.

flokii:


The oppression in Akwuzu SARS in Anambra where Peter Obi was fingered is what?

The killings in Oyigbo and Orlu is not oppression right?

You chose to pick out Lagos and cry, destroy things while you pretend that the ones mentioned above never happened. You're being hypocritical here and we won't allow you or your kinds mess Lagos up and run back to your villages.

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

flamingREED:
Those deceiving Wike are not telling him that majority of Igbos sympathise with IPOB.

PDP should advise him. They're about to go down. This time around, we won't need Kanu to say 'don't vote'. But trust me, we'll lose nothing big without Nigeria losing something bigger.

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.

isthatso:





Yes! He was Chief economic adviser to Obasanjo, CBN governor for 5 years and adviser to Buhari since 2019. No federal looting happens without the knowledge or approval of the CBN governor, he is the country's banker. Why do you think they removed Sanusi? When you hear they found $200m, $100m in mint unopened dollar bills in a flat somewhere etc, the money did not come from a commercial bank, it came from the central bank!! You dont release those kinds of sums without the signature of the CBN governor!! What effect did his being CBN governor have on Nigeria, what effect did his being adviser to Buhari have on the economy? These are the questions right thinking youth should be asking instead of wanking over resume, thesis and CV. There is a difference between qualification, theory and practical results!! Your vote is your power, you are free to use it as you wish but understand that whatever leadership you get is a consequence of who you put in office, not just him but his ideas, his antecedents and that of those who surround him. If i have to explain this thing to you, then I am wasting my time. A people will always get the government it deserves. His only experience in Government is experience of corruption. I am not saying he himself is corrupt but his experience is an experience of succesive corrupt governments. if you want to elect a man based on experience, then look for a man whose experience in experience of demonstrable positive results. In any event I am not against Soludo per se but the idea that you are still talking of electing the same old guard that have been at the helm of affairs for years, whose only experience in government is experience under corruption and whose time in office has never led to better things.

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.

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.

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.

Very terrifying that year... especially with the sound track that usually indicates that Willy Willy’s appearance is imminent

Anyone that is anything close to progressive understands that Chukwuma Soludo is the best human being to be the next governor of Anambra.

You can collect money from APC but don’t come here to spew nonsense. Both you and Arthur should know that Anambra LG elections is currently a matter of legal dispute.

NGpatriot:

If you know how to read, go ahead, read gently and comprehend massively for your own good.

Your rights are not absolute, it doesn't supersede the rights of the sovereign Nations and the rights of transit states because at the end of the day, they call the shots, not the UN or even you.

So I don’t get why you are taking Panadol for Igbo people’s headache.
You are championing this landlocked thing everywhere. They have said we know we are landlocked & we are having a go at it regardless... how is that your problem?

Don’t you have your own things that bother you??

logon599:
Guys!!

Face masks are NOT for people who are not infected. It's for people who are already infected to prevent them from infecting others

Problem is... at this point, how do you know who is infected and who is not? Considering that you don’t necessarily have to be symptomatic before you can infect others.

Abeg, where is his Church?

tuale4u:


But less outrageous than the first. I choose to focus on that. I have seen both.

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

tuale4u:


Nobody is disputing d fact it wasnt properly done. But House of Rep never complained. It was also presented to house of rep. Senate alone does not make up NASS.

My post is more on the fact that the president made adjusted base o d masses request.
Only d presidency knew why they choose to do it d way they did.

There is no illegality in d Act. No law was broken. Yes, proper protocol wasnt followed. But no law was broken.

Oga the second version is already in public space. Go to BudgIT and see for yourself the comparison of the original and second version. The second version appears even worse than the first.

Now this is really really sad!

So instead of the president owning up to errors in the budget he presented and writing NASS with a modified version, he opted to do it illegally, backdoor, through his aide?

Lol! Nigeria!!!

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)

allcomage:

This is arrant nonsense. You have postulated that Igbo hate Hausa fulani and that Yoruba nation is home and dry by an alliance few Yoruba are into with the core North and that Igbo have lost out? Do you in your widest dream think that Gmb will win Jeg? I suppose Igbo nation by her stance is on the right path. The working alliance bw Ss and Se took others napping. If it is sustained,they will hold Nigeria by the balls economically and politically.Ss/Se will never vote Gmb because the Hausa Fulani version of Islam is anti education,anti progress,anti development,so oppressive that they are against what Se/Ss stand for now. It is even embarrassing to most Yoruba as progressives seeing few religious bigots pulling them towards Core North. Water and oil don't mix well. Gmb Achilles heel is the Middle belth.plateau,benue,taraba,nasarawa,adamawa,southern Kaduna,kwara,kogi,southern bauchi,niger,gombe, then in Sw ekiti,Lagos ogun.watch out in next and get back to me. Performance is not the criterion,ethnicity and religion are still at the forefront when the chips are down.He that stands need no fall.I think Igbo have crawled back to the centre and you want them come out and be fighting from the fringe. But in all honesty,what I think you should be concerned is to amend the constitution to devolve power at the centre for the component units to develop at their pace and priority. I assure you with the present setup of this country,no body no matter how disciplined,religious,astute,ethnicity will give you the Eldorado you so much yawn for.

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.

careytommy: i can understand for syrians but what does a south korean need a naija passport for?

So he can qualify for Local Content Contracts.

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.
So where do our foreign reserves go? On Brazilian hair,Kim Kardashian and mobile Phones and rice and frozen fish etc. These are decisions made by Nigerians. Government can refuse to provide the forex for that but what would happen to exchange rates. We need to start producing. Every time ANY Nigerian buys imported Items he is spending the foreign reserves.

In summary Foreign reserves are not funds held in an account belonging to the FG and in this respect TINUBU shows a misunderstanding of foreign reserves. Foreign reserves are if you like the counterweigh to the naira in your pocket and so it belongs to anyone who has any naira. It is basically a good way of measuring our capacity to import. It does not BELONG to government but to the Central Bank and CANNOT be used to pay debt of Government.

Of course government can increase its share of the Foreign reserves simply by printing more naira ,a move that has its own peculiar consequences

God bless you. Am so shocked by Tinubu's brazen ignorance of how Foreign Reserves work!

Features are exactly the features of Bold 5. This is just a lot more expensive and looks horrible
