Its been downhill since Fashola!

$13 trillion? Government of lies and propaganda

Clearly a sloppy journalist. It’s either $13b or N13t. I think it’s more likely the latter.

You don’t need too much brain power to figure that out.

Please make it make sense to me. Jamb don change? No be computer dey mark the scripts? No be the option you select (a,b,c,d) the computer go mark?

Congrats to him but Sadly,

the most Educated and Academically gifted people are not guaranteed the best in life.

The Edo State Governor with his Weak WAEC Result occupy the highest office in his state

Politics is local. When the educated leave the hinterland and migrate to the city, you leave the uneducated to vote and that is what you get. That is why I laughed when Arise were chastising him for not speaking English or coming on their channel. The educated don’t understand the electorate. You can speak all the English you want to your audience in Lagos and Abuja but the people that vote outside of Lagos and Abuja don’t watch Arise TV.

Rotational presidency with a constitutional provision on equal/fair sharing of resources, would have gone a long way to lower the tension in the country. Switzerland practices something similar and it is the reason for their peaceful coexistence inspite of the country having different European ethnic groups as members.. Most multi ethnic European states have collapsed under the tensions that come with the endless political frictions which hallmark the politics of undefined multi ethnic states.. Yugoslavia, USSR them..

The funny argument as to who takes over when the president dies is as diversionary as you would imagine. All you need to do to is to have a constitutional provision for the position of the "vice presidents" in the constitution. These vice presidents elected from the different regions would then double as ministers representing the different regions of the country, with the stipulation that the one from the region of the president should finish his tenure if the president becomes incapacitated. Chikenaa..

In any event, We all know that as long as The APC is in power and in charge, this sort of Major constitutional changes will never happen. The APC was created to double down on policies and politics that favour certain segments of the country against others. It is a party with a great deal of parochial mentality. The idea that it is better to concentrate power and economic advantages around two segments of the country while others protest is a prelude to disaster..

Those of them who have been setting policies and political trends for the country post 1970, will never accept to surrender their advantages without a "vigorous push"! These sort of constitutional reviews provides policy makers with the ample opportunities to save the country a lot of tension and bloodshed, but since the narrow minded politicians have elected to keep their tribal advantages at all costs, I guess we should all be preparing for the "inevitable" that is sure to come in the future .

Nonsense! Almost Every tension in this country independence always involves one tribe.

Stop insulting others, build bridges, for alliance and stop making demands and threats and there will be peace.

Even your post reeks of threats and abuse. You can’t help yourselves!
Nigeria does not need rotational presidency…you are the ones that need to change your ways. You are the ones that need presidency but you won’t get it if you don’t change your ways. You are not victims, you are the aggressors!

Why always you?

SmartyPants:
Where did you get that idea?

He got the advice from a madman!

Beremx:
The question is who are the people sponsoring Boko Haram and Fulani terrorists? Until the question is answered, there will be no solution to the insurgency.
The Nigeria Army is just sending soldiers on suicide mission.

Whose interests is it for Nigeria with its vast resources to remain stagnant?

The same people funding Boko Haram are the same people finding your favorite NGOS and Activists!

SmartPolician:
What can typically move a Nigerian again? The same country that has a former drug lord as its president and nobody has a problem with that?

What can the eye see to cry blood? Mr. Abure, please go ahead and expose anyone you want to expose. Peter Obi is not a saint, but he's much better than these evil men running this country today.

I don’t have a problem with statements like these if the alternatives you are presenting or supporting are clean and don’t have their own skeletons in their cupboard.

You can’t condemn one thief while supporting another thief. It exposes your hypocrisy and real agenda!

Intelligent people understand our political space is corrupt and a reflection of the wider Nigerian citizenry. After all the people accusing the president of being an ex drug lord are the same people who hero worship drug barons. They are the same people whose celebrate their “billionaires” every day 90% of whom are drug barons! So we know the space is tainted and are interested in those who have shown (especially in their previous lives as public administrators) evidence of the capacity and ability to move us forward.

We can’t be gaslighted! He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. Those with glass houses don’t throw stones!

If you are presenting a clean man fine but you don’t condemn Tinubu for his past life whether true or not and then tell me Obi or Atiku are the answer!

If you are a supporter of Wole Adebayo or Dumebi Kachikwu or others who have no known skeletons, I will listen to you. But not Obi or Atiku! If you are really concerned about the dodgy pasts of the aspirants for presidency why are you not supporting people like Adebayo or Kachikwu who have no stains….why Atiku or Obi?

Konquest:
Succinctly stated.

America has a debt problem. That debt problem threatens the viability of the dollar. Previous administrations have also weaponised the dollar resulting in the calls by some countries for an alternative to the dollar hegemony.

Persistent inflation in the US also means the Fed cannot print money like they have been doing. America has $6T worth of debt due this year. With the prospect of interest rates not coming down and the inability to print more dollars, America is forced to raise revenue and cut costs. Hence if you notice Trumps moves since he came to power has been about cutting costs (DOGE) and raising revenue (tarrifs) and abusing Powell for not cutting rates. Tarrifs are a tax but Americans particularly republicans, tax is a dirty word hence his white face lies that it’s the Chinese paying the tarrifs. He needs low rates to refinance the debt due this year!

This has nothing to do with manufacturing like the ignoramus who quoted trying to me postulated. America is too advanced to engage and cannot compete in low paying mundane manufacturing and they know it. All the noise from Trump is political rhetoric playing to the gallery.

It’s about the dollar, raising revenue and cutting govt spending, maintaining its status ans the worlds reserve country and preventing a run on the dollar. Everything else is just noise.

Trump saying this is about lost manufacturing jobs is like Nigerian politicians promising to bring the Naira back to $1. Such talk is political talk aimed at ignorant masses and anyone who believes either like the n1tw1t Sirtee15 is not very bright or commenting on a subject above his pay grade or IQ!

Bobloco:
we all knew from the start that the SUG president chanting aluta was just cashing West-funded cheques through his Sahara Reporters plug.

A lot of activists and NGOs are funded by by foreign countries and politicians to destabilize the country or to promote their own agenda.

These activists and NGOs gladly take and actively seek the money on offer and sell their souls and their country to fund their lifestyles.

Jubrilv:
we are getting there gradually

But let Senator Natasha or Senator Akpabio go ahead with court process for us to know who is fooling who

I think by now you should know who is fooling who. They are both at it. There is an endless flow of usefuleediots available for hire to push your agenda. If Oby can be hired, then don’t trust anyone.


Was there any sexual harassment? There is nothing to suggest there was based on her past, the timing and her actions since the allegations. Does she have any evidence? 100% no! Was Duru hired by Akpabio or working for Akpabio go gain favour….very likely! Does she stand to gain something from this even if she wasnt hired by Akpabio or his team….almost certainly! Do I think she is clean…no! Do i think the recordings are fake...no! Does that mean she is lying…..no!

Ultimately it is up to Natasha to provide her proof since she claims she has proof!

Propaganda sponsored by Multi choice, Meta and others


Jargons written up there. Not sure if the author read the mandate of the commission

https://fccpc.gov.ng/about-us/our-mandate/

The judge said it is unconstitutional to regulate prices except for essential items. The judge also said even at that it has to come from the president.

The constitution overrides any law or “mandate”. The matter is decided!

PS: I am not a fan or customer of dstv.


Section 88 of the FCCPA ( the law that establishes the FCCP). States that in the event of fixing prices of essential goods and services by the president, it can only come via an official gazzette!

Nice move! People need to understand that to be president you have to work for it, you have to build bridges, build trust!

Not abuse others, gaslight people, threaten secession sow division and then say it’s your turn.

SIRTee15:
The idea that manufacturing can't return to the west is just lazy thinking.
Western powers allowed manufacturing to move east because it's cheaper for the companies. Simple.
The investors are happy because the ROI is crazy. The day that becomes impossible is the day they lose interest in the east. If BYD replace Tesla and Huawei replace apple, there will be no gain manufacturing in the east anymore.
The market is still in the west, that's what U don't understand.
Manufacturing can be rejigged to ensure some value chain returns to the west. Already Trump tarrif has forced some auto makers to announce they would move their factories to the USA.
If china now has 100% robotic manufacturing in some factories- no humans working there, all robots; how come such cannot be replicated in the west where it's desperately needed.
The concentration of manufacturing in china is simply because it's very convenient and the western investors allowed it.

If U think all those low paying job are paying any reasonable taxes, then I have heaven to sell to U.
It's better they are simply replaced with technology and then tax the tech companies.
I don't get your point about European tech companies, any company doing business in any country should pay tax- foreign or not.

UK politicians destroyed that country with their immigration- obsessed policy.
France and UK brought in loads of immigrants thinking that would help curb inflation- they were wrong.
The depressed wages that came as a result of above discouraged natives to work. because they realised it's much better to be on welfare than work a care job that brings home next to nothing.

The kind of people who think the is China tarrif war is about manufacturing are the same set of ignorant uninformed people who thought killing Ghaddafi was about terrorism.

Simpletons never really understand what’s going on. It’s above their IQ.

I said it at the time that she was doing a disservice to women! To professional women trying to rise the profession career or political ladder and to genuine victims of sexual harassment!

Yorubas have a saying “olowo gba iyawo ole”

If you are afraid a man with more money will take your wife, you married before you are ready to marry!

Perfectly understandable. FGN had been owing NNPC for back door subsidy.

Were we not the same Nigerians at the time saying subsidy has been removed but they are still paying subsidy?

Clearly Indians are ingrates and don’t appreciate the development efforts of our brothers from the east!

They should come to Lagos and see how they have developed our canals with white powder money!

Wow! This man is still alive? He must be the last of the 1979 governors set!

SIRTee15:
The truth is immigration is just a lazy political approach to solve a problem that's better handled by technology.
Europe aging workforce can be solved with technology. Europe doesn't need all these low wage immigrant workers to fill an unnecessary void that can be easily replaced with technology.
With Trump breathing down the necks of American industrial powers, it's only a matter of time robotic manufacturing replaces human in factories and warehouse all in a bid to bring manufacturing back to the west.
advanced drones will replace delivery couriers, autonomous driverless cars will replace commercial drivers, most govt services will be done by A.I. customer services will soon be purely an artificial intelligence affair.
technology carers may be more challenging but eventually it will be a matter of choice btw robot carers or human carers.
Even jobs like medicine, software engineering and accounting are not safe.

massive immigration causes more problem than they solve, if at all they solve anything.
Look at Europe, its no longer an attractive place to live anymore. Even white Europeans are fleeing Europe for gulf countries, over 250k white British now live in dubai alone. Go to tiktok and see how they are praising their new homes and rubbishing Europe- white people o.

its not worth it. It's just that politicians every where in the world are lazy thinkers, they rarely think beyond their next term limit- short term.

1: Manufacturing isn’t going back to the west. Trump knows it but is only playing to the gallery. Trumps war with China is not about manufacturing. It’s about the long term viability of the dollar.

2: Robots don’t pay taxes. When was the last time you saw a tech company from Europe?

UK is now dependent on US for tech, China for manufacturing and Africa for Labour. Not just bottom cleaners but skilled Labour like doctors and engineers.

I am not a fan of migration. I have said it that the immigrants ultimately cause resentment and destroy the society of their hosts but sometimes that is the price for survival.

God1000:
Trump started it and Nigerians applauded him, now UK is following suit, it's just a matter of time the entire Europe will put in place tougher immigration rules.


Good for them sha, every country is trying to fix their problems, what is Nigeria doing about the numerous problems bedeviling us?

Europe cannot afford a slow down in immigration no matter the noise they make to their domestic audience. They are being squeezed by the US and China. their industries are dying and they have no competitive future proof industries left. Tech is dominated by the US and manufacturing is dominated by China. Their populations are aging and they have a high social security and welfare bill. Where are the workers to pay for it....immmigrants! A citizen would rather be on welfare than work for the minimum wage that most immigrants work for and he would be better off. Even their schools they cant fund without foreign fees!

Europe including the UK is dying!


its a case of leaders understanding the issues better than the emotional masses ( this applies to most countries) but playing to the gallery!

the Uk are the original masters of deception. They will make all the right noises, close one door and open another while you arent watching. when the people wanted Brexit because there were too many Polish immigrants, they quitely opened the door to JAPA Nigerians and other Africans. when Nigerians start getting on the nerves of the locals (they eventually will) they will close the door to Nigerians they will quietly open the door to another group of people!

RealityKings1:
I honestly think autistim has to do with the Parent's exposure to strong networks or WiFi related frequency... Not really the fault of the children


There has to be a solution

1: thats your opinion, the general opinion is that the explotion in autism has to with either vaccines or incresed processed and inorganic diets.

in either case nobody ever said autism is the fault of the child. In fact no one blames the parents. if anyone is the blame its the pharma and processed food industries and possibly the scientists and government officials that approve or hide harmful effects of chemicals in our foods and vaccines.

Autism:Vaccinations
Processed foods/modern living by mother…(instant noodles is not food!)

Homosexuality: Lack of parental supervision/ influence of children from unsupervised homes e.g single mother households. no motivation, abandonment, exposure to western values and media. Many are sent abroad to school to early!

Peter Obi is not becoming president of Nigeria not in 2027, 2031, 2035, 2039 or ever. He is unelectable!

Come to terms with this and start looking for a more acceptable ibo president. It’s not who ibos like that matters because you don’t have enough votes, it’s who the rest of Nigeria are willing to have as president. Obi is not that ibo man. Soludo, Umahi, Chidoka pick one and back him. Obi is unelectable!


If you continue to insist on Obi and such a time comes that it becomes imperative to have an ibo president, then the rest of Nigeria will pick an ibo president for you just like he rest of Nigeria picked OBj for the Yorubas!

iwaeda:
Atiku will still be flag bearer, Wike should concentrate on his noise making.

If they give him the ticket, the same PDP will work against him…..and openly!

A very unnecessary and rather distasteful article. Yes I know the hype around Traore is overblown but give them the chance to chart their own path as they deem fit.

I would rather align with Russia than France or the US. Russia never staged any coups or had any colonies in Africa.

Who killed Ghaddafi?

Akinpresident:
Be constructive with your assertion.

If PDP isn't democratic, you're automatically implying that the ruling party is.

Your problem as well as the problem of many unintelligent Nigerians is they can’t isolate issues. You talk about Yoruba, they deflect and talk about ibo, you talk about Christians, they deflect and talk about Muslims, you talk about women cheating they deflect and talk about men cheating. You talk about one politician, they respond with his opponent. I accuse you of theft you start to talk about the other man who stole. It’s a Nigerian disease because we are intellectually shallow and emotional ss a people and we don’t want to deal with uncomfortable subjects so we deflect.

Has it occurred to your “constructive” brain that it is possible for PDP to be undemocratic and the APC to be democratic and that it I is also possible for both PDP and APC to be undemocratic and neither possibilility negates my assertions about PDP?

So your assertion above is based on shallow intellect, emotional conclusions, not logical reasoning.

The topic here is PDP…stick to the topic. When you don’t you make a fooooool of yourself as you have just done!

Finally let me add that another problem with the PDP and the other main opposition (ironically Ex PDP too) is what you have just displayed. Instead of owning up to their errors they deflect
