I must commend soludo for the effort, I always knew he had it in him. He is one of the most efficient from the southeast.

He created an avenue for perpetual wealth. No nation or person gets wealthy by saving, inflation will eat up your savings.

How will savings benefit citizens of a state?

Yes, fuel should be below N700/litre. The oil dealers are reaping us off.

MrSly:
Just as tinubu did and you are now much richer than Jeff Bezos.

Gibberish

Chase them into Chad, Benin Republic or Niger, we must cajole those nations, either by bribing the leaders or through other diplomatic channels, so they allow and aid Nigeria chase those terrorists running into their country.

Give the enemy no breathing space, bomb them when they pray to their demons, bomb them when they eat, bomb them when they celebrate, bomb them while they mate, if we bomb them ceaselessly and continuously, they will be dead or run.

Shame on the governor, senators and big men of Benue state, shame on you all.

It has since been sold

Northern leaders are shameless they can't come together and put their house in order, Na Sharia law dem dey pursue, still pushing the religious extremism that is eating them up.

Confused people

Governors create capacity and platforms for future wealth, money is best used to create empowerment capacity for the population, who savings help?

Wealth is not created by saving, it is created by creating and enabling environment and adequate infrastructure to bring about even development and prosperity and higher earning capacity for the people in the state, it shows lack of ideas...how will you be saving when some youths are unemployed and a lot are in poverty and the state is not among top 10 commercialised and urban states in Nigeria. Joker.

Factual statement.

Only in Nigeria will sycophants and politicians be using all their time and resources of state to campaign for next elections, just a year into the administration of 4 years, this is an anomaly and shows our myopic belle uncivilised politics. Sycophants and political jobbers are a disgrace.

Though Arewa are not sincere, they are hypocritical but they are right on this, not only the president but the political system is faulty...that being said, southern presidents are better for Nigeria, the North should fix it's myriad of problems first.

Without strong deterrence, kids and youths that are jobless and desperate will be lured into kidnapping or join the kidnappers and bandits.

Only strong deterrence can stop this ugly trend of kidnapping.

The North should stop this habit of multiplying randomly, they should check their population...those indoctrinated kids are easy recruits for bokoharam and iswap, the kids will be easily deceived because he sees bokoharam and iswap members have similar religious ideology as him.

Education and strong state police system can halt this trend... forests guards should be issued automatic AK 47 guns and their numbers boosted to 100,000 personel spread across all forest areas of all wards and LGA's.

Only indigenous people should be deployed to secure their forests areas, indigenes will be more loyal and know their terrains.

Coastal road is a more safer traveling route, so in a way it helps in ensuring Nigerians travel safely, but I get your point.

State police must be implemented, governors must stop being lazy and inefficient, boost IGR and spend money on securing your people, this is the number one thing. No investors or tourist/visitors will go to an unsafe state. Nigerians deserve better governors and senators, the Nigerian electorate should vote for the right people and not voting on party names and lines.

Forests guards should have automatic weapons, and they should be boosted to 100,000 men spread deep across our forests, with rugged SUVs and floatable boats to suit the terrains.

But in North terrorists ravaging you and your communities, killing and raping women and children were released you didn't write this epistle.

Remove the wood in your eye...

If we don't implement strong deterrence like execution, young jobless teens and youths will start kidnapping for N100k.

The unchecked high birth rate in the North is a danger to their existence, these large numbers of unemployed indoctrinated youths will be lured into the ranks of bokoharam, iswap, and kidnapping syndicate because of the acute poverty and indoctrination.

Education and reducing child birth rates will reverse this ticking time bomb, the last protests in north was a sneak peak. Don't consume yourselves.

Thank God men of conviction still exist. You earn my respect.

Politics of ideology and conviction is what will move Nigeria forward, not this money politics and politics of sycophants and political jobbery.

Focus on violent crimes and criminality, this is the problem of Nigerians... kidnappers, armed robbers and buglers are problem of Nigerians not yahoo boys or traffic offenders. Use your scarce resources to focus on most pressing problems.

Sometimes it seems members of the Nigerian police force forget their core mandate, which is to detect and prevent or arrest ongoing crime and criminality, and focus on traffic infractions and yahoo boys.

We have so many violent crimes going on in society, I will suggest the police focus on violent crimes and criminals.

The problem of Nigeria and Nigerians is kidnappers, hooligans and armed roobers not traffic offenders or Yahoo boys, let EFCC handle yahoo boys and FRSC and VIO handle traffic offences.

I agree, Dangote don't be greedy, you just bounced back to number 1 richest man courtesy of the refinery. Dangote Nigeria made you, give back, reduce PMS price.

He got carried away

Lagos was already Nigeria’s commercial capital before Tinubu became governorhe didn’t build it from sand. Yes, IGR increased, but let’s not pretend Alpha Beta and opaque revenue collection deals weren’t part of that story.

If Eko Atlantic is your crown jewel, congratulations on a billionaire bubble surrounded by flooded slums. Tinubu’s legacy is loud PR, not transparent governance.

Leadership isn’t about building wealth for cronies; it’s about lifting people, Nigerians in general

The wealth built in Lagos benefits developers, businesses, artisans, entrepreneurs and lagosians, it benefits everyone living in Lagos.
Multiplier effects of development benefit all. If you are in Lagos you will see how people live on the streets and in their shops, people littered everywhere, running from emptiness and poverty in their states, to Lagos for refuge.

Eko Atlantic is sorrounded by Victoria Island and Ikoyi, it's your ravaged poverty stricken peoples from other states that sleep on the streets and deface it, building shanties, which will be removed and dislodged by the government.

Most states in Nigeria now are ravaged by insecurity, your governors can't even protect you in your ancestral homes, if you focus on criticising your governors maybe your states will stop being desolate insecure regions, that make your indigenes all troop to Lagos for refuge and survival. Focus on your state and state governors, who are lazy mediocres stealing your common wealth. You have no stake in Lagos, it's not your concern.

Abuja has been the capital for decades why are people from other states not trooping to Abuja?

I won't bother to respond to you again, because it's clear you are speaking from a place of myopia, ignorance and bitterness.

This is what we get for releasing terrorists. Releasing terrorists is an evil act that ought to be probed. How can we loose lives, soldiers sacrificed only to arrest terrorists and release them.

Are terrorists lives better than legitimate citizens lives?

Bobloco:
By that logic, Tinubu should’ve turned Lagos into a flawless utopia before dreaming of leading Nigeria. Or Buhari should’ve transformed Daura into Dubai. Leadership isn’t about fixing your hometown first, it’s about vision, competence, and a clean track record, which Obi has more of than most.

Obi isn’t some tribal chief; he’s a national leader. You are just mad his integrity makes your ‘city boy’ look like a glorified landlord

Lagos was and is the model, Tinubu met Lagos IGR at about 500million and took it to about N50billion, and it has increased rapidly since then, because he made sure he put in place a flawless tax system, that ensures the state collects at least 85% of its revenue, by removing leakages and creating a unified system for payment and government revenue collection. That is vision, that is work that will benefit the state perpetually, Tinubu opened up Eko Atlantic, that area is making Lagos one of the top destinations in the world today.

Tinubu is not perfect but among the mediocre greedy politicians we have, he is far brilliant with more leadership skills, unlike the mediocre bigots.

What is delaying state police, revenues have been increased by increased allocations.

It is a pity the type of governors and senators we have,what is delaying state police, when people are still being kidnapped across Nigeria?

No ideology or convictions, just belle politics

Nigerian politics is all about struggle for money and position.

Bobloco:
The irony of a Tinubu supporter asking for 'workings' is wild. The same man you claim 'built Lagos from scratch' has had two years to build Nigeria and what do we have? Record inflation, a collapsed currency, mass poverty, and insecurity on steroids. Now Nigeria holds the shameful title of the country with the highest number of malnourished children, overtaking war-torn Sudan.

So before you ask why Obi didn’t turn Anambra into Dubai, maybe ask why Tinubu turned Nigeria into a humanitarian crisis. Charity begins at home, right? Start by fixing your Jagaban’s disastrous report card before grading others.

Just saying the hype on Obi is too much, he must not be president before he brings together his region's leaders and make it an example for others, but we didn't see that, still haven't seen it.

But the generality are dumbed down by sycophancy, tribalism and nepotism...we keep churning out weak leaders.

They say if Obi rule Nigeria it will be like Dubai, why didn't he make his state or region like Dubai while he was governor, till now the region has not made significant progress, still behind southwest and south south. Charity begin at home, no be by chochocho, show workings.

Bigots that failed in the past, I guess

What will it take to take them off the street, train them and ensure they become responsible productive citizens. Welfare of the poor and vulnerable is the job of government. They are your indigenes.

He is a fugazy, with a short man complex, dangerous with power, and he is a bigot.
