I asked if the local, state and federal governments have more revenue than 50-70 years ago.

Please why are you replying for spendings/expenditures instead of the revenue asked?

Was there oil revenue back then? Was oil sold for over $100 in 1950 to 1970? Were we producing 2 billion barrels per day, if we did any oil production then?

Moreover, did teachers not buy many of the low cost houses built by Jakande with relative peanuts compared to IGR that has grown 83 times since 1999

Your question is clever by half.
How much was a brand new car in 1979 and 2022? How much was a bag of cement in 1980 compared to 2022? Did Teachers buy jakande house 100% or was it mortgaged?

Dsalvo:
That's the problem with Nigerian youths today. Casually insouciant, disrespectful, ignorant and irreverent. Nothing else in their head but Celebrity gossip.


Very few have their own minds or think independently. They are all 'herded' and 'bandwagoners'.

It is the reason solution never comes from them as we see delivered by youths of other Nations. Lost and hopeless generation.

Well captured. Bandwagon, eye candy, no critical thinking, what is "popular" followership.

seguno2:
Do our governments have less revenue than 50-70 years ago, even after adjusting for population growth

yes. There are more spendings now, with way more people greedy and ready to steal, not just politicians. The teachers could barely pay house rent then and they were contented, that can't be said of now.

VeryWickedGoat:
No 9-5er in the world earns $33k a month.
That's footballer range.
Una too like bobo for this forum.

really that is less than $400,000 per annum now


Mention what you are sure of

Please what is physical infrastructure for governance if there is no human capital development through free education for all children in schools with adequate professional teachers?

Which of the countries where our VIPs go for medical tourism doesn’t have free education? Do you know any?

There is a limit to free education at this time. I agree with wholesome free education up to primary level, any level after that is aspiring for cheap but no quality education in a highly populated but low income economy country like Nigeria, times and seasons have changed. In actual fact, tertiary education is still highly subsidised. Anyone waiting for free education in 2023 because it was done 50 -70 years ago is in lala land and will have to keep up with times. Parents should cut their coats dependent on the size of the cloth

Talk is cheap. some dolts even say Lagos should be dubai because of the money it makes.

How come Nigerdelta with easy to make 13% oil derivation not Dubai?

Give this dundee 2 years to govern Lagos, it will be massive disaster.

After election the next thing will be Peter obi tried

you got it perfectly

Mercisharelove:
Useless


Of what use is the dead amongst the living?

Tinubu is dead, he knows it

@Mercisharehate

Becareful with the morbid talk. Everyone will die, but becareful wishing others death.

15 states sure for Tinubu as at today. All 6 SW states, Borno, Yobe, kwara, kogi, Zamfara, Kebbi, Gombe, Niger and Katsina

About 6-7 states are a potential win but also a possible loss for Tinubu- Kano, Jigawa, Nassarawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Benue and River states if Wike chooses to support

14 states are almost sure loss- all 5 SE states, 5 SS states excluding rivers, Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba, Sokoto

Operation tell me 7 states in the North , Obi will get 25%. If there is not at least 7 states in the North, 100 million votes will not make him President.

Dundee. Self love and preservation before anything else.

While dating him, you did not notice all these terrible traits? Wasn't he a weed addict then? Was he doing house chores? Was he financially independent then?

You made your bed, lie on it.

Vote4Obi:
Urchins and BATstards keep talking rubbish with their mouth. How can a senile old man like Tinubu who keeps disgracing himself everywhere due to brain damage have common sense? Where was his common sense when he can't make a sentence without embarrassing himself?

A criminal druggie who couldn't build a single mega project in Lagos for 8 years but instead saw it as an opportunity to enrich himself, family and cronies. A dubious fraudster whose identity is shrouded in mystery is the one that will help Nigeria?

Anyone supporting this old criminal is cursed and karma will pay them back someday!!!

so much venom. You are lost in your delusion. I can't relate with you.

The average nigerian is greedy and self seeking.

Imagine labour party officials already fighting openly for monetary allocations.

Anyone still living in utopia that a presidential candidate will turn Nigeria to paradise in 4 -8 years is in utter delusion.

Tinubu is the best of the top 4 candidates due to his nack to use commonsense to make decisions and appoint relatively better individuals to get the job done.

There will be no magic bullet, but i will expect aggressive drive to geometrically increase Nigerias earnings, end fuel subsidy, be sufficient in refining oil and export some , additional 5000MW in the next 4 years.

People forget easily how pdp ruled SW with thugs. Makinde is slightly better and not a core PDP like politician , but he is still romancing auxiliary who occasionally brings political violence.

He does not need to win 2 more states in the SE/SS, if he does fine, but if not it is ok. The wike camp alignment if it works this month can lead him to win 2 states in the SS.

He will win all 6 southwest states and at least 9 out of the 19 northern states. That is a total of 15 states at least.

PDP still remains his immediate rival, and the margin of win for APC over PDP will be wider than last election in the SW.

9 states in the North he will win (Borno, Yobe, Zamfara, Kwara, Kogi, Katsina, Kebbi, Gombe and Niger)

6 states in the North he may win (Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Benue , Plateau and Nassarawa )

4 states in the North he will lose (Sokoto, Bauchi, Adamawa and Taraba ,fct )

By region SW - 62% SS- 23% SE - 12% NW- 42% NE-40% NC- 45%

It is a 3 horse race as things stands i must confess, but only the first 2 (APC and PDP) has a realistic chance of winning.

33% of the total southern votes and over 40% of the Northern votes will be sufficient

It is common sense.
Leave legally if you can, you are better outside if you are productive and can provide foreign remittances than unemployed or massively underemployed and imagining a magician president that will turn Nigeria to first world economy in 4 years and end up getting disappointed. Nigerias leaders are a reflection of the followers.

There wont be any quantum leap improvement for at least next 5 years.


The catalysers like 24 hrs power supply across the nation, geometrical growth in nations revenue, massive infrastructures , factories and SMEs that will drive growth of the nation will not materialise till about 4 years if the nation chooses a visionary leader that can employ common sense in 2023.

As much as it may sound ironic to many youths, Tinubu is that closest bet in 2023, yes he is frail,but a lot can be done if you employ the "right" hands, he typically does that better than most politicians.

Omadachi:
Why Vincent Abubakar was benched is something I dont really understand.He was brought in and the game changed.

he had suffered goals drought consistently before the world cup and the replacement was banging in goals.

If a striker fails to score in about 10 games, the confidence level plummet. This match may reawaken him.

My team is out of the world cup. We showed promise in the first game but buckled in this one.

You listed 22 states and fct. Where are the other 2 states. It is 24 states + fct.

Uniquekriss:
lol, don't mind him. Senegal are not doing so bad, afterall their first loss was with just a goal margin buh it's quite early to tip them as one of the favourites

Senegal lost 0-2.

I doubt they can, They have a tall order against Ecuador in a must win game. Ecuador needs a draw to qualify and todays stats show they were a better side against Netherlands, although the game ended 1-1

“Kabiyesi, Your Royal Highness, as I stand before you, there are few of us left running. One says he is Atiku. How many times has he been running? He’s always on the run and he’s tired. Tell him to go and sit down. Enough is enough.

“The other one, he think na statistic we go chop. He lies with arithmetic that no Indian can ever solve. To mention his name is a disgrace even to me. I won’t mention the name. Wrong arithmetic, wrong statistics, warehouse economics. That’s not what Nigeria needs.

It is based on Anti tinubu stance jare

Letmehelpyou:
Iran had a shaky start,Qatar had a shaky start too.

iran was not a shaky start, that was a disastrous outing. Qatar did not have any pedigree and lost convincingly 2-0.

Shaky start is a narrow loss, a draw or a grinding win by a team with pedigree against a team less fancied

Argentina may end up winning the world cup.
Teams that end up winning the world cup usually have a shaky start. Spain lost to switzerland in the 2010 world cup and won the worldcup. Hardly does a team with a convincing win at first game win the worldcup.

Osewa03:
Seriously, I'm not happy with the situation of things that I met in Nigeria. with all the noises made on social media this year about relocation abroad and how Nigeria has happen to everyone, I never expected I could still see a rat in Nigeria. My plan was to travel to Rwanda but I made a stop at MMA in Lagos and decided to walk out. I saw people on the street of Lagos and I was scared thinking they're ghost cus I wasn't expecting that. The hope is that Nigeria would have been a deserted country by now and will be all history since everyone has relocated abroad.

This is a sad news because Nigeria still has few people inside as we speak. Majority of them don't have money to relocate and more than 98% of people in Nigeria now are not having food to eat and clothes to wear. If I have the means, I'll surely take a lot of people with me when I'm going back to where I came from

come down from your high horse and enough with the gibberish. Canada is not paraside. You have a distorted reality.

I am also in Canada but will not write condescendingly like you did. There are over 200 million Nigerians, even if 200,000 Nigerians travel out, it is a drop in the ocean as that is 0.1%. However we as diasporans can and must also contribute to Nigeria. Your foreign remittances goes a long way to help the economy. There is no magic bullet to fix Nigeria as some youths with distorted reality may think. It will be gradual but painful. Leave as a youth legally if you can, but don't deride or curse the country.

14 states for Tinubu.
Lagos, ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Borno, Yobe, Kogi, Kwara, Zamfara, katsina, Niger, Kebbi

socialmediaman:
We know that none of the top 4 candidates will win at first ballot, so there will likely be a run-off if Kwankwaso stays in the race. That's why Peter Obi needs to focus on his base, the SE, SS, North Central, and Lagos and Kaduna.

It's a fight for the highest and second highest number of votes to head to a run-off

runoff is not between highest and second highest votes, it is between highest votes and the individual who won the highest number of states from the other candidates. If there is a tie of number states won , then second highest votes will be considered.

Ddokie:
Benue (Certain)
Kaduna (certain)
Plateau (Certain)
Nasarawa (Certain)
Taraba (Certain)
Adamawa (possible)
Gombe (Possible)
Bauchi (Possible)
Kogi (Possible)

So the job of the Obi-datti campaign is to work hard to turn the possible ones to certain, while ensuring that they cover ground properly in the ones that are certain to turn them to victory (apart from kaduna, and nasarawa, which will not be able to return victories).

i see you named 5 states. It is less than 100 days to election oooooo. So you truly believe labour will have 25% in those states and less than 75% of the votes will be shared among APC, PDP, e.t.c�

Brimstone77:
....


You should be calculating about how your own candidate will get 25% across the geopolitical zones..

Leave obi to worry about it..

obi is a blessing to APC in this election. Anti APC is divided in to 3 ;pdp, lp and even NNpp.

The SE typically votes for PDP even if it is a cockroach on the ticket. Having an Obi to divert the votes is a success.
