Aregbesola that couldn't deliver osun??
Same with Amaechi who couldn't deliver rivers.
Not forgetting el-rufai that couldn't deliver kaduna state even as an incumbent.
Even obi sef couldn't consolidate his gains in LP, he couldn't cajole Alex Otti - the only LP gov out of 36 - to follow him.

What a featherweight combo.

Aregbe couldn't deliver Osun state but you forgot that Even Tinubu couldn't deliver Lagos state.

Now I can see your assertions are coming from the place of ignorance and hatred. And it's the lies you were fed with that Tinubu frustrated Dangote . How can Tinubu frustrate his friend's business? You believed the lie because you are gullible. What stopped Dangote from building the refinery in PDP era? And talking about loans for study, there is nothing wrong with that as long as it's for a good cause. Tell me the other way round a poor student would have attended a tertiary institution. See, if oxford university is willing to grant me loan to attend their school , I would gladly attend. You speak like an ingrate and someone who's myopic in thinking

I beginning to hate this back and forth. We'rent you here during the price war of Dangote and the NNPC backed by Tinubu?

We'rent you here when Tinubu agreed on Naira- for crude deal and later cancelled the deal? Or when he outrightly refused to sell crude to Dangote?

About building the refinery, like I said he has been building the refinery since 2007 which was PDP era. The refinery took years to build.

It's just quite fortunate for APC that they are the ones in power when it got completed.

Lastly, are you a graduate? Do you know what it means to start life with a loan on your neck?

Why do you think presidents of the US use student loan cancellation as a campaign promise?

Ijoba85:
If you think refinery would still have operated without the political will of the present government and party, then you are being clever by half. Why didn't we have a private refinery since 1999 till APC came on board? Abi, didn't we have people who could build one for us? You think subsidy regime na beans? Those who benefitted from it never wanted it to end cos of the free billions coming from it. That's why you and I kept complaining about many problems not fixed in the country cos few were enjoying and many suffering . Then , this president with balls came in and dismantled their criminal network and no more free money. They became bittered and fought back by wanting to suffocate Dangote refinery but Tinubu checkmated them. Everything they tried , Tinubu is engaging them but now they have gathered together to create coalition to unseat him and they will still fail . You said minimum wage is little but bro I want to advise you that if you want to go far in life , try and appreciate little things . Are you being paid the same salary you were paid in 2020 now? You said school fees is 3x , agreed , but despite that , shebi you have a loan to pay ? What if the loan is not available nko?

Political will? Of Tinubu or who? Cause Tinubu almost turned Dangote to a skit maker and almost outrightly frustrated him. Dangote has always enjoyed the goodwill of all governments and had their support whether APC or PDP. If it wasn't Tinubu that was president, Dangote wouldn't stoll have built the refinery cause he knows how to roll with the government. Dangote bought the land for the refinery from Lagos state government as early as 2007.

The loan is available) do you think the loan is available or given to every student? Thousands of students apply and are denied. And do you think it is right that a graduate is starting life having to pay loans?

If your sense is converted to airtime, it can't flash talkless of call.

helinues:
Considering the amount of dollars that was wasted for the 2015 election, how did the rate manage to stay around N355? Just explain to us logically . It was after the 2015 election the global oil price dropped, take note of that in your response

Your only point of argument is the amount of USD used for 2015 elections. USD has always been used for elections in Nigeria from time immemorial. If it affected the dollar rate, then it should have also affected it all previous election years.

There's nothing like subsidy of currency. Your currency's exchange rate us either fixed, floated or a managed float. Under Buhari it was a managed float. Not subsidized.

Lastly, how old are you? I know you're not really educated but, how old are you?

Thiefobi1:
He is learning it from the master of deceit himself.

What you put here says accused. An accusation is nothing until it is proven.

Are you sure you're normal?

Ijoba85:
It set us back but in his time Nigeria is locally refining crude oil and not wasting money on importation and subsidy anymore. In his time, there's more money for States to pilot their affairs and no more bailout , in his time minimum wage is at 77k, in his time , students are giving loans for school fees so they don't have any reason to drop out of school..... You are just hating for nothing . Go and work if you never chop

Locally refining crude oil by Dangote? A private firm? Even if it was Sowore that was president Dangote would still have commenced operation of that refinery cause it was scheduled for this year.

Minimum wage was far below what was asked by the NLC (after they went of strike) and far below the value of 33k of 2020.

And if you don't know that we still import fuel, you shouldn't be in this section. Go to the romance section.

Students are given loans because their fees are now ×3 of what it used to be and that was Tinubu's doing.

Mr. Man take some time to reflect on your life's choices.

So, the trip to St. Lucia didn't yield any benefit for Nigeria in terms of trade or any other thing?

Rather it was just a funfair and to receive personal awards and promise to send out doctor of which we don't have enough?

This president is just spending recklessly on irrelevant travels.

SocialFinance:
Some of the politicians are joining the coalition to get protection from prosecution. You will begin to hear government is using efcc to silence the opposition.

Amaechi who used train robbery to get contract for his fronts surely has much skeletons in his cupboard

Rubbish talk. Amaechi just joined the coalition this week. Where was the government for two years that they couldn't take up his case?

It's governors that are joining APC that are not running from persecution right? Or what Oshomole said about all sins forgiven once one joins APC doesn't count anymore?

JASONjnr:
I don't have issues with them because we all know they're corrupt.....

Is Obi corrupt or not?

Why is he coming as a Saint?

He's a politician with hidden agenda and he should campaign as a corrupt politician.... not jumping around political parties looking for free ticket.

If he can't fix LP, and Atiku couldn't fix PDP, how will they fix ADC or even Nigeria?

Number 1 is that Peter Obi or any other personal (apart from APC supporters) have never called peter Obi a saint. But he is also not a thief.

Furthermore, he is running for the position of president not bishop or deputy angel, that position doesn't require a saint.

Lastly, if he was corrupt, I'm sure rhe EFCC know their job and you can't teach them their job. If he were corrupt, they would have brought up his case before the 2023 elections.

LegendHero:
Production is production. In Africa, we are top 3 producing countries whether oil or other things.

Stop saying nonsense:

Mr. Man. If yoi were vast in economics you wont even be making this argument.

Real wealth lies in the export of finished goods not raw materials. Its called the dutch disease when a country only produces/exports raw materials like nigeria is doing. That's why countries with the highest purchasing power of citizens (GDP per Capita) which is the measure of real wealth of the country, are those who manufacture finished goods.

This will be my last response to you. I cant be arguing basic economics with someone who is hellbent on not learning but rather defending a failed president.

If you decide to reply, i wont dignify you with a response.

LegendHero:
Nigeria is a large producer in Africa too. So what exactly are you talking about?

Nigeria is not a large producer of manufactured goods. We largely depend on oil export. You're saying nonsense again.

LegendHero:
You Dey yarn jargons. If it is GDP per capita, how then does American become the model for the richest country in the world when they ain’t even in the top 5 GDP per capita countries?

Yeah The U.S is top 7.

The difference is that US is actually a large producer. You're saying nonsense oga.

To those saying Peter Obi doesn't condemn deaths when it happens in the SE, hope you saw now that he mentioned Anambra?

Slytiger:
It will be embarrassing Nigeria was invited with those tier 3 African countries (Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal).

Nigeria would be invited when tier 1 African countries invitations are out.

GDP is not the measure of the true value of the wealth of a country rather GDP per Capita.

Nigeria is not even among top 20 countries when it comes to that.

NgeneUkwenu:
At least everybody now supports structure of criminalities...Peter Obi's "holier than thou" posture died a natural death yesterday..His misadventure yesterday has cast a permanent stain on his political career. There is no coming back from this.

Even Jesus dies with sinners.

It's time to build bridges and not walls. Peter Obi isn't a criminal and this has been proven time and time again.

Full stop.

Habbeyy:
OK, if the whole Abuja is 147,600 hectares, then subtract the land already occupied by buildings. What is left? That's number one. Number 2, the alleged allocated land is within the axis of Maitama and Asokoro, then how big is both Maitama and Asokoro put together? Maybe, maybe the land was allocated elsewhere

Check the documents released, rhe land was at different places. When put together, it made uo to 2000 hectares.
No2. Is that even as small and congested as Lagos is, there are still hectares of land for sale talk more of Abuja that is five times the size of Lagos.

That fact is Wike has stolen those lands and give them to his children. Simple.

IgOga:
lol......built or used their house . LP won governorship election in Ondo State during Obasanjo's administration. They had a governor. They won at the supreme court. Party was already national contesting national elections.

Obi used them and dumped them.

Oga face your APC or ADC.

You're making reference to relevance 20 years ago! A whole 20 years. That was when LP was relevant. It was just existing and could not and did not even have one LG councillor until when Peter Obi came in.

Obi made LP relevant today and that was how it was able to get senate, house of assembly and even governorship seats. Before he came, it was merely existing.

Habbeyy:
I don't know whether Wike actually allocated land to his children, because no politician should be trusted. But a sensible person should know that 2000hectares does not just make sense. Genzs don't even know how big a single hectare is, na wah oh

Abuja has a total of 147,600 hectares. So allocating just 2000 hectares to his son is nothing too big for Wike to do.

NewHe:
Of all serious business that took place, it's the title given to the president be his own headache! What manner of opposition is this?

I pray thee, tell us the serious business that took place.

Ikaeniyan0:
Peter 0bi from Agulu will never never become the president of federal republic of Nigeria

That one concern you.

APCNig:
Let me remind you of some other things that Tinubu has done.

1. Full financial autonomy for Local Governments thereby setting the LG free from the evil State governments.

2. Approval for State Police. When implementation is done, each State indegenes will protect their people from bandits and herdsmen.

3. Students Loans

Mr. Man stop spilling lies here. State police hasn't even passed rhe second reading at the Senate.

Ikaeniyan0:
Peter 0bi will never become the president of Nigeria

That one concern you.

Everybody knows this your statement is a statement for farming engagement. How lonely are to that you have to farm engagement on a faceless forum?

helinues:
$500m trade with them is something. We understand no moves by president Tinubu you lots can ever appreciate

Where is the $500m trade. You just showed their GDP which is les than that of Rivers State.

Ask the presidency to state the potential deal to be struck following the president's visit to the state.

A state with a GDP less than Lagos state!!

And, the same presidency said that the first two days we for official purpose while the remaining days will be for personal things.

Abi, why are they countering themselves now?

casualobserver:
they say his “brother’sproperty” in GRA was purchased for N250m. He was a governor at the time……..just saying!

Just spreading rumours. No established fact. "they say"

You know who "they say" spread rumours? People that are not bright.

Truth. But people don't like to hear this
The farmer herder clash is very complicated. But most people like to paint it one sided

The farmer herder crises is not complicated. Only one of them caries guns around and its not the farmers.

Like someone once said, invest in Lagos at your own peril.

Lagos is lawless especially when it comes to anyone thats not Yoruba. Can you withstand the issues with agberos?

Can you withstand the tribal discrimination?

Those two things can cripple your business faster than any economic factor will. So, again, invest in Lagos at your own peril.

Image123:
Nigeria would continue to have the numbers as long as we don't control population or educate the majority about family planning.
Qatar has 2.6 million people, UAE 11 million people, Nigeria has 230 million people. The simple math is that Lagos alone as small has it is, has to cater for more people than Qatar and UAE combined. These are people with attitude, entitlement and false smartness. You can be sure that the struggle will likely continue due to a faulty foundation. This is regardless of party or tribe. Religion also plays a part, because the Islamic form of evangelism and dominion in our part of the world is aggressive birth, this is aside jihad. So a society that has 30 christians and 20 muslims today will have about 100 muslims and 40 christians in about 15 years. Why? Our northern muslims need the numbers, others don't really care to have the numbers. The general remaining part of the muslims will have more wives and children legitimate and illegitimate, while the christains either divorce, do baby mama, marry late, etc. We're headed to something bad evidently except God takes the wheel.

Stop blaming population. China and India are more populous than we are and the have more access and 24 hours electricity.

Tinubu is an incompetent president. Full stop.
