Politics › Re: Reno Omokri States How PDP Left Nigeria On May 29, 2015 As 1$ Approaches ₦500 by COMPAQ(m): 5:25pm On Jun 15, 2021

Voy:
As the Naira approaches ₦500 to $1, let me remind Nigerians of how we left Nigeria on May 29, 2015:

‪- 50kg bag of rice was ₦8000‬
‪- bag of cement was ₦800‬
‪- Fuel was ₦87‬ per litre
-Minimum wage was ₦18000 which was equivalent to $120
‪- Electricity tariff was half the current rate ‬
-Unemployment rate was single digit
‪- $1 was ₦150 (₦199 in 2015)‬
‪- Lagos-Abuja air fare was ₦10,000‬
-Brand new tear rubber Kia Cerato was ₦3.6 million
‪- A bottle of Coke was ₦60‬
‪- A tin of Peak milk was ₦80‬
‪- Banditry was nonexistent in the Northwest
-Killer herdsmen were being arrested and tried
-Boko Haram were being devastated, not rehabilitated, and elections held in every Local
Government Area of Nigerians on Election Day in 2015.

Don’t you miss Goodluck Jonathan?

Reno has a point. Unfortunately this would likely still have happened regardless of whoever was in government because it is a fundamental imbalance in the structure of the country. A situation where 90% of forex comes from oil and oil crashes to $10, and population keeps increasing and importation keeps growing, what did we expect to happen.

So the scores of iswap were using only six guns?

The story is not adding up

Read properly! It said 6 gun trucks. Of course there would have been others on bikes and on foot with their own guns.

Tetehjewels:
Watched the video of the helicopter gunship giving them hell and I am glad to say that air support is everything and I appreciate this Buhari government for equipping the military even more because their morale is very high right now.

This is the second ISWAP mega loss at the hands of the NA in a matter of days

I also gather over 50 ISWAP terrorists were killed and ISWAP lost Top commander Oumar TELA in today's failed attempt to infiltrate SF brigade Damboa town.

I tell you. I keep failing to understand when I read all this news of BH and ISWAP attacking a military base for hours. All we need is active 3 or 4 helicopter gunships available to provide air support when needed and these shouldn't be happening. The moment a large contingent of terrorists is seen approaching any military base, they should immediately radio for help and air support should be available in 30mins. Surely a chopper in Maiduguri can get to most places in borno state in 30mins.

Alternatively we should get like 4 weaponised military drones that can stay in the air for as long as 24 hours and 2 can take shifts every 24 hours to provide air support to ground forces and barracks as needed.

Politics › Re: 2023: Kingsley Moghalu Declares For President, Unveils SWAG Agenda by COMPAQ(m): 7:58am On Jun 01, 2021

I think Moghalu, Sowore, durotoye, Oby etc should form a political party and try to get elected into the senate in the first instance. And then from there, we if they provide good leadership, they can plot for one of them to go forward for president in say 2030.

Cos reality is that non of them have a chance trying to vie for the presidency from scratch. In Nigeria, the you can only win if you go under the ticket of either PDP or APC. That is the unfortunate truth. We still practice money politics for the poverty stricken populace and not intellectual politics. So intellectuals will never win on that basis alone.

This is very likely a waste of money because all other things that need to be in place to support this are not in place, except you can tell me that:

- Lagos has a form of facial recognition software
- lagos has a comprehensive database of plate numbers and who the owners of these plate numbers are and where they reside ( most people use fake addresses for vehicle license and drivers license reg and even if correct have moved once or twice and addresses never updated)
- lagos has locations of all police vehicles on patrol via GPS and can immediately deploy from the control center to deal with any issue.
- that we even have a statewide or national emergency number that links directly to the control center.

habsydiamond:
If u are not in support then lead by example by doing the right at the right time to the people u are governing... We masses have not ask for something too much... We only ask for the benefits other advanced nations are enjoying most especially 24/7 electricity, good health, payment of workers at when due, good water and motorable roads not the Dakar really ones given to us... Among other benefits... I don't think this is too much.. Lastly right to life must be taken seriously by the government and the security must be worked on.. Cos now we dont have any at the moment

I hope you know all these wonderful things you mentioned about other countries is paid for by tax! Money doesn't fall from anywhere in UK and US, but from the taxes on people and industry.

The steps that will make Nigeria really work for the long term come with some pain that Nigerians want to avoid at all costs, so we keep beating around the Bush for decades.

Government cannot give you progress, especially in Nigeria where government is so corrupt. The fastest way to progress and development is through the private sector and private sector comes with profit making mechanism, which which makes things efficient. People will only get involved if there is money in it and will find ways to reduce cost to maximise profit, part of which filters down to the people at some point. Telecoms sector brought investment, higher paying jobs, Internet and through Internet brand new businesses that wouldn't have been possible 20 years ago. Imagine we had 10 thriving sectors like: telecoms, nollywood, manufacturing, semi conductors, construction, gold mining, financial services, shipping, tourism etc. All paying good salaries and each bringing in billions of USD in investment per year. In 30 years, you won't believe the change. That's how China, Singapore, Vietnam, Brazil changed their destiny through the private sector.

Privatise Airport, NLC will come and say no! Deregulate petrol refining and we all cry it will be hard. Sack overbloated and unproductive civil service, but NLC will shut down state. Make NPA and NTA profit making, and lean organisations, and but NLC will say you cannot sack workers. Pay proper price for electricity, electricity and na lie. Meanwhile banks, oil companies and many others who have seen revenues drop due to covid have reduced staff and heaven did not fall.

It's not actually. Amazing how Nigerians want the best of everything, but don't want any regulation so they can be off the grid and hide.

In most countries government has access to much more info about citizens. If I have nothing to hide, what is the big deal.

Only thing though is how do they collect this data. Once it can be done electronically without anyone going to queue at MTN office, we will so be it. Besides knowing Nigeria, we will after collecting the data they will have no clue what to do with it.

Probably not. In all likelihood these are results of poor quality education from public primary school and all through to university. While they may be graduates, you and I know that our universities are full of non entities (both male and female) that are just their to mark time and collect certificate. Absolutely no studying. The get through by cheating and dubbing in exams and then sorting afterwards.
