Is Mbaka's calling still in doubt?

Foolishness from I'll advised greedy man.

APCNig:
Tinubu has done it before, he can still do it again. Tinubu and other then Yoruba leaders in Afenifere were in control of South-West politics. When Afenifere divided to be unfortunate by working with Olusegun Obasanjo who is a known old enemy of the Yoruba, I Tinubu pulled out of their party then AD and single handedly formed his own party AC which transformed into ACN and later formed alliance with ANPP, CPC, a section of APGA and some PDP rouges to form APC. Today, Tinubu controls five out of the six Yoruba states while Afenifere is still trying to be relevant in just one state of Oyo.

Therefore, if Buhari and his Almajari brothers decide to be unfortunate, then Tinubu will pull out, pull the rug under their feet and strip them naked at Kano Main Market. He will form another part and rebuild it just as he did in the past.

That's a myopic thinking my brother. Tinubu does not control five states in the south West but his party APC does. What I mean is that, in as much as he is a strong man of APC and also from the region, he is not in firm control of the party machineries in those five states. He may have Lagos and Osun states, but certainly not; Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo and Ogu states.

Even in Lagos and Osun states, all the party chieftains are not under his control. You talk of, Fashiola, Banire, Ambode and many others in the state. Same thing applies in Osun state where they are a lot of dissenting voices. In fact, believe it or not, Tinubu will never make such mistake.

payperpost:
they are after PDP state , the states they couldn't rig and why is kano not on the list? these are all preparations for 2023

The list as prepared by the supreme court or a blogger in Nairaland? You see why children should not be commenting in matters that are above their level.

nnakelechi1:
Supreme court that the Chief justice is been appointed by the President that belongs in a particular Party... How do you expect the Result to be? Just saying my Mind

I would have taken you seriously if you had said the same thing when the same supreme court gave judgment to PDP in the States they have so far declared. Or when the same supreme court nullified election APC won in zamfara and also denied them participation in Rivers state election.

Sunnycliff:
Am still trying to grasp the rationale of Hope Uzodimma who came a distant fourth position in the Imo Gubernatorial polls winning as the Governor of Imo State today.

My brother, it may happen but that will be through a rerun of the election since Emeka Ihedioha did not meet the requirement of 25% in 2/3 of the local governments in the state. It gose to mean that none of them was validly elected in the first place.

All these media tempo hyping. Supreme court is not nullifying any election nor removing any governor.

Neddstark:
Nigeria doesn't need these old farks or their stooges.

We only hear this old folks of a thing in Nairaland and other social media, not in the electoral field.

No, they are not. Tinubu is a very smart politician, he knows that Atiku is more or less a paper weight politician. As such, he is not a viable option. Besides, it will be difficult for Tinubu to leave a house he contributed so much to build.

Even if there is anything concrete in this report, him and Atiku will struggle to get up to 3 governors to join them as things stand today. And such number cannot win election or make meaningful impact in Nigerian politics of today.

Tobichimezie:
Ode the ones where your leaders were sharing bags of garri before election nko? of course you won't talk about that one, disgraceful acts like this exist across all regions in Nigeria, there was a video of a Northern lawmaker sharing cans of maltina to people as well, I could post pictures and reports of stomach infrastructure shenanigans in the South West now if you want to go that route

What are you trying to justify, this madness?

KrystosCJ:
We both know that this "financing" will be repaid by the Nigerian government. If you know GIZ well, they don't do this stuff for free. They're the same with FMO, Oikocredit and all other social investment managers. If they truly wanted to address the negative effects of climate change, they would not invest in cook stoves that run on non-renewable energy. They would focus on renewable, sustainable energy like solar.

Did you know that India has over 83 gigawatts of solar energy installed and in use in their country and has mandated all companies operating in their country to adopt full use of solar energy in their operations? They have enabled these companies to obtain solar energy systems by removing the tariffs on solar products and granting tax exemptions for up to five years for companies that will comply.

You are wrong. Nigerian government will not repay a donation of this nature. It was before 2015 that Nigerian government borrowed to finance frivolities. I remember we even borrowed to pay salaries, and 27 States could not pay salaries before this government came and started giving them budget support, pari fund etc. Unfortunately, those things happened when we were selling our crude oil at about 130 dollars per barrel. But I must tell you, do not entertain fear again, because that era has long gone.

As for India having 83 gigawatts of solar, kudos to them. Me, I strongly support the idea of removing tarrif in the importation of solar equipment into Nigeria, or better still, set up factories to manufacturer them here. Besides the government has recently entered into agreement with Siemens for incremental growth in our power sector starting from this year. And I strongly believe it will work considering the sincerity and manner in which the deal was signed.

freeze001:
And that is even where the corruption is more alarming and painful because these donor organisations are committing funds to the ministry of environment for the outrageous purchase and distribution of 2000 stoves at the unit cost of N44,000 each. Is that the best way a decent, corruption-fighting government can deploy scarce donor funds considering the level of poverty in this country? There is no incitement, the Buhari government steals both government money and donor funds without remorse!

If this is really about climate change, can you honestly say to yourself that this is the best angle/approach the Ministry of environment can channel donor funds through? Buying and distributing stoves? What is the source of fuel? AT what cost? How does 2000 stoves begin to even cut through the number of extremely poor families who depend on wood and coal as cooking fuels which we ought to be working towards reducing to address deforestation/desertification?

My brother, there is no single approach to fighting climate change. This approach is certainly one of them. As for your question as per whether this is the best place to channel the money, I will tell you, in case you haven't dealt with donor agencies, know it from today, their donations are usually tide to specific projects, hence, in this case Nigerian government has no choice than to spend it where the donor has specified.

For the amount per each you stated at 44k each as being outrageous, I will also inform you that donor agencies do not just donate and go. They are usually part of the procurement process. unless you are suggesting that they will partake in sharing the money as you alluded.

But one thing you must understand is, the 88m amount is the total budget for the procurement; which includes logistics such as, transportation, stationaries, market survey, meetings etc. All those has been factored into cost per unit. Not to talk of the fact that we do not know the specification.

Also know that all these does not happen in few weeks or months they take time. I am not justifying corruption or saying that there may be no Judas amongst the team, rather its an experience I have had with these donor agencies. Again, screaming in the manner you guys are doing will simply suggests that everything is a fraud.

KrystosCJ:
Instead of this government to remove the import duty on solar products and other solar-powered products and stimulate uptake of solar energy products in our country, they are busy looking for avenues to waste taxpayers' monies and enrich themselves through inflated contract schemes. I have observed that GIZ is mentioned in this foolish venture. Such a shame! To think that they would be involved in distributing cook stoves that represent the past, fading technology.

Your suggestion to remove tarrif on solar is a good idea. But in this news, the Op just want to incite people. It is the European Union and German government that are financing this as their support for control of climate change. And not Nigerian government or tax payers money.

Citytrend:
What have We done to our Asbestos to deserve all this?
This is like giving a hungry man a food stuff without Garri to eat the soup. I don't know why politicians keeps taking electorates for a common Street begger. Mind you, some of these guys will sell the Epileptic Stove a month later because of hunger.

Unless they are saying something will be done to ease up the pain and misery of going to school in Nigeria after the Socalled stove project. Haba

Cry cry baby.

His cup was full, hence he was exposed.

gidgiddy:
So why wasnt he charged to court?

Even if he was charged to court, people like you will still look for another narrative and argument that suites you. After all you people have constantly criticised the government and the law enforcement agencies for the ones they charged to court. you insult them and curse the country even when the crime committed by the person is obvious.

This was the same thing that PDP pastor Oyedepo has been doing, insulting the government for arresting crime perpetrators. But just ones he noticed that some members of his church were stealing his money, he applied sanctions immediately.

He never remembered rule of law and court again, so that investigation will be done and allow the court to pronounce them guilty before calling them thieves. Rather he sacked them and barred any member of his church from sympathizing or associating with them. He got a bit of how painful it is. And that I wish you to experience very soon. So that we will know if you will remember your court and rule of law.

Yankiss:
Buhari has no choice but we have to be alert. OBJ had no choice back then but wasted tax payers money to the tune of billions of dollars. If not for an alert VP, Atiku, he could have had his way. Today, Buhari has foot-soldiers that are fanatical about him, forget his nonperformance. With a rubber stamp VP, National assembly and CJN and a powerful presidency cabal and dependent Service chiefs to boot, we have to be careful and alert. I have said my own.

You ended up saying trash.

I don't know why this issue is being over flogged. In the first place, the man never said he wants to contest again. But confusionists decided to keep themselves busy with that, simply because their head was assuming things.

Then, the president came out to put the issue to rest by stating categorically that based on constitutional provision, he will not be eligible to contest again. And therefore, he shall surely leave office in 2023. Yet the media still dwell on the matter as if there are no other events taking place that they need to report.

He finished refuting what he was accused of saying, but avoided telling us what he actually said.

I trust this buhari government to achieve it. The government is hungry to perform and deliver infrastructure to Nigerians.

Quote me anywhere, Nigerian president in 2023 will be any of the following:
Prof. Yemi Osibanjo
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Kayode Fayemi
Babatunde Fashiola
Malam El Rufai
Dr Ogbonnaya Onu
Rotimi Chibuike Amechi.

It will be a miracle for the next president of Nigeria to elude any of the above names.

1x2x3:
You know nothing. There is nothing like sense of entitlement in what he said. If Mark Zuckerberg were to be a Nigerian in Nigerian he would fail. You are simply not aware of what the government must put in place for tech development.

You lied, Mark Zuckerberg would not have failed in Nigeria if he applied the same ingenuity he applied in America. Besides, Nigeria is not a den of failures. Nigeria has produced the likes of Dangote, Otedola, Innosson, Soyinka, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Festus Akimgbola, Emeka Ofor, Artur Eze and countless others.

Those who fail are those of you who on a daily basis curse the country saying that there is nothing good about Nigeria. So you cannot curse the land that you till to plant crops and expect it to yield abundantly for you at the time of harvest.

holuwasheyiWGP:
It saddens me when we compare ourselves with other African countries.
Other African countries that should be eating our dust by now

It saddens you because we are not in the same African continent with them or that God created us before them?

ajimo54:
If people are deceiving us, we should not trick ourselves. Nigeeia leading in technology when policing is not supported without it. No database for population. No reliable database for immigration. You are always asked for your details to renew driver license. Electricity supply is poor. Archaic rail system. Election is not electronic. Stealing is still easy in public offices. Except for banking and oil drilling, what else has our tech backed up? Wake up youths! Wake up Nigeria!

People like you can only see negatives in the country especially when an issue does not suit your narratives. In case you missed the meaning of what they are saying, it simply means that irrespective of all those things you listed, what we have in Nigeria is still superior to what other African countries have. They haven't said that every aspect of our Tech is good, but that we are still better than other African countries. That's the summary.

BULLIONVAN4:
TECH WITHOUT ELECTRICITY,DO YOU CALL THAT ONE TECH?? HOPE YOU'RE NOT CHATTING WITH THE LAST BAR OF YOUR PHONE BATTERY? Hmmmm! just asking though.

Appreciate the ones achieved. After all if they give you electricity now, you will still complain that they have not build a village hot for your grand parents.

Under buhari that the wailers and looters called illiterate, we are breaking grounds and barriers in all fronts. Making steady and identifiable growths in our socioeconomic base as a nation, strengthening our security architecture, building infrastructure like never before, building a robust foreign policy, utilising information technology in governance more than ever before such as; IPPIS, BVN, TSA, efficiency units etc. Please, if these are the achievements that illiterates make whenever they are at the helms of leadership, may we continue to have and inherit such in our country in years ahead.

englishmart:
APC are a group of bad Machiavellians. Even if PDP wins clearly, they will cancel the election and have a rerun with over 50k armed personnels to supervise the carting away of ballot boxes by thugs.
Atiku would have been sworn in since May 2019

Atiku was not sworn in in Dubai where all his strategies are rooted, then Cameroon where he came from did not swear him in, but you want him to be sworn in in Nigeria where he has little or no stake. Habaaa! It doesn't work that way.

IamPatriotic:
Can't the uunserious and the unstable PDP get anything done without a fight?

That will be asking for too much from PDP.

They can only drag to remain relevant as a party, but not to rule Nigeria in the nearest future.

Commentor:
Cry from today till thy kingdom come it is her right.

Don't mind them. All these ones screaming up down will even do the worst if they have the same opportunity. They are only interested in buhari, while their governors and their local government chairmen are dinning with the devil at their expense.

If it's their right, so be it.

traihit:
What we need now is constant electricity firstly in all major towns and cities and then in every rural communities. The other things will follow automatically.

All of them are important. Besides, the government has not abandoned electricity. The government agreement with Siemens will soon roll out its implementable plans.
