AMINDA:
Yet another dividends of the "bold reforms".

+
Absolutely. When you instantly pauperize tens of millions and strip them of buying power, what do you expect.

Lithiumite:
And your inferences depicts you as an obi apologist who would criticise anything tinubu does no matter how good.......roads drive development you can deny all you want.....electricity cannot be wholly funded by govt we have lost decades without investments in that sector there is so much wrong with Nigeria's electricity sector that no govt can solve in 4 yrs........any investments now is like a seed going to mature in the future......tinubu has made it clear that private investments is what will drive that sector and govt will do all they can to engender this and that they are doing......i don't support obi but i still commend him for the ojukwu highway he built from head bridge to zik round about,imagine onitsha today without that road.

+
I am not an Obi apologist.
Answer my question. Which is more important for development. Power or those roads which have already existing routes?

Lithiumite:
I keep referring to this,when the 3mb was being conceptualised there were many like you who procrastinated and opposed it but look where we are now,imagine lagos without that bridge today..........the problems we have been having with electricity as we had with petrol in the past before full deregulation is the givt interference in that sector, what tinubu is trying to do is attract private capital into that space and let it thrive.....there are do many factors inhibiting this that needs to be tackled......electricity sector has had little to no investment for decades and govt can't do it alone and investments cant also come in because of several factors this govt is trying ti sort.

+
Bad example, 3MB was absolutely central and critical to the entire economy.

Tell me, if we are to progress, to industrialize, what is more important today - power or those roads - roads for which there are already existing routes?

As for the bold, that just shows you up as one of those guys who will defend BAT no matter what. Thats a VERY poor excuse.

creativejagaban:
Like I said earlier, you include a positive symbol, but your contribution reeks of negativity.

Please do us a favor, when the road projects are completed, do not use it

Jagaban is not shaking. It's taking each step deliberately. He is also working on power from the ground up, from the root up, no patching. So it will take some time. Whether you wail or not, Jagaban will do what he needs to do.

He told you on 29th of May, 2023 that na wail you go wail ooo, subsidy is gone And true to his words, you have been wailing since then till 2031.

Tinubu till 2031.

+
You are not serious.

NOETHNICITY:
Does the construction of the road in any way constrain our ability to invest in power?
Have you ever travelled by road from Lagos to sokoto?

+
Is this a serious comment?
Don't you realise that we don't have unlimited money and thus must prioritise?

15 Trillion Naira PPP or not, on Coastal Road is also not a priority and should go to power.

Do you want your grandchildren to carry on with no power? Have you had power since you were born? Don't you understand that it should be the number one priority of any govt in this country?

vincenteger:
They'll have to beg you for increment
If na private jet now
Under 24hrs it'll be approved

+
There wasn't even any appropriation at all before the jet was bought.

NOETHNICITY:
This is a road the dundee Peter Obi say Nigeria doesn’t need. Indeed we dodged a bullet

+
Forget about Peter Obi. The truth is that we do not need this road at this time, it is nowhere a priority. Especially compared to something like power.

You guys make it sound as if there is no present road to Sokoto from Lagos.

kettykin:
please can someone with data explain with out the cost benefit analysis of this project and why the Govt did not fix the grid first before commencing on rods that have alternatives. is this what Nigeria should be doing now?

+
Simple and short. Well said.

rescuenaija:
Reno is an asset. If a patriotic Nigerians takes 10 steps for Nigeria, Reno takes 100. He is always doing more than is required of him as long as it’s for the good of Nigeria.

+
This speaks alot about you, your education and potentially your upbringing.

LordReed:
Hey there!

Yeah I guess the context is the US.

+
Beware.

timilehin007:
Terrorist sympathizer. Where is your prove say Israel get am too. When dey no be coward like your former supremo. Why will Israel leaders be hiding when they are with the momentum, they are the attacker, not d defender

+
Jesus.

Burob:
What do u mean by this statement, abi u think Gringory Obi is stepping down for anyone?

+
The moves being made may be so complex that he will find himself nowhere by the time of the election, also bound firmly in a complex weave of judicial pronouncements.

Burob:
I have forgotten, please what is the name of that Igbo boy that organized the 1 million march for Sani Abacha?

+
Daniel Kanu

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nigerians really need to worry very seriously as to whether there will be anything like an election next year or if there will be any other candidate than Tinubu.

InvertedHammer:
/
He thinks Trump is Asari Dokubo his hero

/

+
Pls stop insulting Asari.
And don't insult maggots or frogs or rats either by comparing them to that thing.

Racoon:
am not aware of that" Same way all those accurate stats being reeled to Bwala really caught him napping. See a presidential spokesman being disgraced with his own statement.

+
Also many of the things he has now denied ever saying will be out on social media ASAP. Trust Nigerians.

Racoon:
It is not easy to defend failure. See as Mehdi drilled Bwala. He must be shitting in his pants. This is how a political interview should go.

+
Men! I dont know why Bwala would not have advised himself to avoid such an interview given his antecedents!
Shameful!

He will NEVER live this down!

thrillionaire:
YES! Because they are the USA - the greatest country in the world. The USA goes out of its way to maintain world peace and bring down wicked and unreasonable leaders. For example the USA recently intervened in Nigeria to mitigate islamic terrorism and the genocide of Christians (that even the devil can't deny). Are you also going to count this as the USA invading countries?
Iran has been chanting "death to America" for the longest, and are trying to get dangerous weapons to eradicate Israel and America, should America and Israel wait till it happens before they uproot that threat?

You go about copying and pasting bullshit news, did you care to read why all those wars happened?

Baba, I'm not interested in a back and forth with you this morning. Bask in your ignorance or terrorism sympathy.

+
You are just naive.
Either that or the sort of person who cant reason.

lawani:
You can only get loans that your revenue can pay back. It means the government has revenue than all previous government combined

+
Jesus. See logic.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

fuckJones:
There is nothing wrong with taking loan, my ex Jones borrowed from opay too

+
I put it to you that Jones does not exist

thrillionaire:
The only conscience some of you have is lying through your teeth, propaganda and taqiyya.

You see evil and endorse it dancing around it.

This is why Nigeria has become a den of islamic terrorism and evil leadership.

+
And I guess that is why the USA HAS ATTACKED MORE COUNTRIES THAN ANYONE ELSE SINCE THE END OF WW2?

funny nobody has seen the dead bodies

+
You are the one being funny, funerals have been conducted which we saw, everyone also saw the results of the explosion's with even blood on their children's books. Dont offend your God.

thrillionaire:
What proof do you have that the USA or Israel bombed that girls school? Or you're just one of those propagandists lying carelessly.

This was the same tactics Iran and Hamas used in fighting inside Israel.

Y'all keep sacrificing children to gain world pity and support sha

+
One wonders what it must feel like to be as conscienceless as some of you.

Inspirer1:
Thank you, you see that it has brought us back to status quo.
I strongly doubt justice will be served just as we are experiencing currently.

+
Not back to Status Quo. Even in the US where you have state police there have always been Federal crimes where the FBI will take over and it's many times cross border crimes

Inspirer1:
okay, please try to be as pragmatic as possible without bias, using the Southwest as an example, if some bad herdsmen harms a farmer, will the farmer get justice even if the herdsmen are arrested by the State Police personnel??

+
This is an extremely insightful and very fair question and for me the solution rests in placing jurisdiction for cross-border crimes with the Federal Police. This is standard in most Federal Republics with similar structures.

creativejagaban:
You start your writeup with a + (plus or positive sign) but you end up sounding negative.

Do you get advice from the same special adviser to the agulu man?

@CityBoyMovement
#CityBoyMovement

Tinubu till 2031.

+

Inspirer1:
I don't think much will change,
Personnel, mindset, attitude, professionalism still same, its only the final reporting line (this case to the Governor) that will change

+
That change alone will make things and responses faster. It cuts bureaucracy. For now many petitions have to go all the way to Abuja.

Secondly the NPF being Federal is bound to have Federal Character. A person from Maiduguri may not understand a community in Enugu well. With State Police, more focus will be on indigenes or at least long term residents.

One more thing. Most times when policemen commit infractions they are just transferred to another state. That will change.

Really eager to see the structure that will be adopted vis-a-vis the Federal Police and what the jurisdictional arrangements will be in terms of offences, etc.
