PlayMaker14: I read that.
Read this. "This is someone who has only been in government for a year and is already making significant contributions to his country." Don’t mind those idiots arguing with you. They can’t lay hold of any achievement of this administration. If it were these ones we have here that assumed office 4 months ago and met the satalite project, he would have canceled it and started another one, just to loot funds. Their only achievement so far is to look for where to collect loans and steal. |

One of his aides is eating beans right now in usa for defrauding America of the Covid 19 funds. He had already been pegged down for a federal house of reps slot for 2023 before the arms of the law reached him. He stole millions of dollars ftom American government purse.

Bulaba is fulfilling his dream of riding yachts, flying brand-new aircrafts and being addressed as Mr. President.
These geriatric polithiefians see Nigeria as a mere plaything. Nothing more. The aircraft they bought is a10 year old plane. Not even brand new. |

kingi777: Tinubu knows how to use power. This movement to Equatorial Guinea is to solidify their oil enterprise with the leadership of the central African country. Too much money for Tinubu family. Who else in Nigeria can challenge Tinubu in politics? I heard Equatorial Guinea is the drug trafficking hub for Africa. Are you sure it’s oil enterprise they are solidifying or something else? |

Foreign Affairs › Re: Kenya Set To Revive Some Tax Measures In The Scrapped Finance Bill by cucumbar: 10:22am On Aug 14, 2024 |
seguntijan: Fellow Nigerians, let us take a look at Kenya.
William Ruto was elected in 2022. Decided to raise taxes to reduce the deficit and have access to loans. The citizens protested, destroyed and looted the country.
The president cowered, did their bidding , drop the new taxes and reduced the size of his cabinet.
But did that change anything ?. NOPE.
Kenya will be forced to borrow at an expensive rate , will sink further in debt and progress will be slow.
Meanwhile , the protesters continues to threaten the president everyday about another round of protest. They have fully weaponized protest, become a bone in the neck of Ruto and a distraction for his administration
What did Ruto gain by cowering to the protesters?. What did Kenyans gain ?
Safe to say the wheels of progressed is grinding to a halt in Kenya.
Now compare the contrast to President Tinubu who within a year got an improved credit rating for Nigeria from three rating agencies, got our foreign reserves up after paying a backlog of $5 billion within 4 month, paid external debt of $3.5 billion, paid domestic debt of N7.4 trillion amongst other local debt, got our stock market performing the best in Africa, got our Revenue from N 3trillions ( H1 2023) to over 9 trillion ( H1 2024) , oil and gas production up, security and fight against terrorism improved, funding to health and education improved and reform underway, social safety net reform, student loan, minimum wage, credit facility, youth investment funds, to mention a few.
But you want the same man to go the William Ruto way ?.
You clearly don’t want the best for the country nor wish the country well!!! Una don come here dey write rubbish. Which useless gbajue rating? What is the usefulness of these ratings and the all other rubbish you wrote up there when the masses have been plunged into poverty and the country is moving backwards? See ehn, I know it is not well with you, but it wil get worse for you and all your type that see black and call it white . |

Politics › Re: A Troubling Trend: Nigeria's FDI Inflow Decline Since 2015 by cucumbar: 11:50am On Aug 13, 2024 |
TonyeBarcanista: According to United Nations Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report Nigeria's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow for year 2023 was US$1.873 billion, Nigeria was ranked number 8 in FDI. The top 10 are:
1. Egypt: US$9.841 billion 2. South Africa: US$5.2 billion 3. Ethiopia: US$3.263 billion 4. Uganda: US$2.886 billion 5. Senegal: US$2.641 billion 6. Mozambique: US$2.509 billion 7. Namibia: US$2.345 billion 8. Nigeria: US$1.873 billion 9. Cote d'Ivoire: US$1.753 billion 10. DR Congo: US$1.635 billion.
The situation is even more troubling when you consider that Nigeria had consistently attracted FDI inflows of over US$4 billion annually since 2005 during the Obasanjo, Yar'adua and Jonathan administrations. However, since the APC took over in 2015, the country's FDI inflow has failed to reach even US$4 billion.
Olusegun Obasanjo 1999: US$1.18 billion (Obasanjo assumed office in May 1999) 2000: US$1.31 billion 2001: US$1.277 billion 2002: US$2.04 billion 2003: US$2.171 billion 2004: US$2.127 billion 2005: US$4.978 billion 2006: US$4.9 billion
Obasanjo/Yar'adua 2007: US$6.087 billion
Umaru Yar'adua 2008: US$8.25 billion 2009: US$8.65 billion (top 3 in Africa in both years)
Goodluck Jonathan 2010: US$6.099 billion 2011: US$8.92 billion (ranked number 1 in Africa) 2012: US$7.127 billion 2013: US$5.61 billion 2014: US$5 billion
Jonathan/Buhari 2015: US$3.064 billion
Muhammadu Buhari 2016: US$3.45 billion 2017: US$2.413 billion 2018: US$775 million 2019: US$2.305 billion 2020: US$2.4 billion 2021: US$3.313 billion 2022: US$895 million

DamnnNiggarr: But one would think that he owned heaven and earth when he was busy mocking the Igbo on Twitter, not knowing that he had been idle and ranting on Twitter with free data from MTN.
But one thing I like about the Igbo is that, when they want to ignore you and your rants, they do that to the extreme.
Not only him, there are many poor Y.oruba e-rats, who don't know where their Next meal would come from, ranting on Twitter and other SM platforms, attacking and insulting their generation, thinking they're attacking and insulting the Igbos.
Just take a look at this poor Y.oruba e-rat below, who goes by the name Esther Osuntoogun on Twitter, attacking and insulting the Igbos but couldn't afford a decent living for herself. Y.orubas self, always ranting online with cheap data. There’s no better way one could have said it. 99.9999% of these agbadorians are better church rats. Makes you wonder the rationale behind their support. I think they want to bring everyone's to their level,since there’s no hope that they can ever progress beyond their current status.

TopBanter: This is the bottom line. Take Nairaland. It is a cauldron of negativity, sadism and deliberate effort of the majority to promote a narrative of doom and gloom.
It is why I personally don't start too many threads about Government initiatives here, even though I have a lot of information at all times.
In fact I'd probably have a million dollars if I gained ten dollars every time someone here has said "we don't want talk, we want action" yet the fact is that there is a lot of positive action underway most Nigerians are simply disinterested in noting let alone acknowledge publicly.
Worse are those who are informed yet will even deliberately spin negative narratives in effort to damage the image of the Tinubu Government.Eg hardened, hateful and bitter Nairaland obidients like Racoon etal. Useless fellows.
Factual truth is that Tinubu has a humongous amount of initiatives being driven by young and proven technocrats many Nigerians do not wish to familriase themselves with.
How many know of the national technology hub initiatives of Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, till one of the hubs, about to open formally, was destroyed by Kano protestors?
Definitely, Government has to work harder to connect with and carry Nigerians along in awareness of governance efforts yet one has to acknowledge saboteurs desperate to push negative narratives for their own nefarious agendas. Nigerians are some of the most wicked, hateful and toxic people on Earth
