When we as a country promote marginalisation then we forget say one day he reach everybody.

I still remember when people dey praise Buhari over his appointment and describing south east as 5 percent, people where hailing even the northern Christian were not excluded. What am I saying, as a person, we should try to support fairness and justice.

Without this, someone people will use the template to punish others.

HarunaWest:
You know my write up is about what I saw with my own eyes and not hear say. You can investigate whatever you heard from other sources. Cheers.

I did not disprove what you said but I am saying that he only did that for just 4 schools. One of the school is in ojota.

GoodLife4live:
You are a foreigner in Lagos what do you know ... Those projects u mentioned are tinubu initiatives ... That what we call leadership charisma ....

Tinubu wrote 25 Lagos development plans... All these are in side the Lagos 25 years developmental plans manifestos.. that's why lagosi indigen always ask for continuety in government

Tinubu is the worst governor in lagos since the beginning of democracy.

Tell me which governor in Lagos since 1999 he outperformed?

HarunaWest:
Although I don't support Tinubu, lets call a spade a spade. I grew up in Lagos and I also schooled in one of the public secondary schools at a time. Trust me, Tinubu really worked make I no lie. As at then year 2000, he renovated my school, supplied chairs and tables, made passing English and Mathematics compulsory in other to get promoted to next class, paid WAEC fees and changed our school uniform. He also employed graduate teachers. He built a market then close to our school and also built a Millenium school not too far from our school. All these happened in Alimosho Local Govt.

How many did he replicate in other local government?
It is on record he only renovated just 4 schools. Oya talk another one

This post of yours is coming from position of tribalism. Maybe you should do well by telling with results from each region who the Igbo voted for since beginning of democracy?

This is just the first time igbo candidate came out for election the igbos are standing beside him not because he is from the Igbo ethnic stock but for what he is bringing to the table.

If yoruba are JUST, like you are trying to portray in your write up, you will know no yoruba should be standing in this election but you guys are doing because of greed and supporting a bad market all driven by wickedness.

marsman:
I can see now that you have nothing sensible to proof.

Yes, Lagos is better than all other states in Nigeria. I provided the link, don't be lazy and go through it your self.

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria with a population of over 20 million people from every state in Nigeria. These 20 million people are stressing the limited resources of state that was meant to only accommodate 10 million. This influx of Nigerians is because of the prosperous economic Atmosphere Tinubu created when he was governor, something No other state including FCT has been able to accomplish.

And Yes again, Lagos generates more than 70% into the Fgs purse. Without Lagos many of your states should have declared bankruptcy

Some of you just like saying nonsense.
Tinubu built which Lagos?

Lagos that has been taking influx of others since 1902.

So tinubu build famous 3rd mainland bridge of Eko bridge? Only refurbished 4 schools throughout his tenure.

I am seriously ashamed of you if you are not paid supporting him.

Someone with questionable wealth and you expect to fix your dying country? Someone who misled you to vote buhari clearly is poor with making right judgement .
Our diversity means nothing to him but quest for power.

ken6488:
He dared the Christians

If the Christian don’t respond to this nonsense, then we are doomed for life. We don’t need to look at history but see what is happening in kaduna as a study.

The core northerners came out publicly and said they won’t sit and allow a Christian Christian candidate but we are about empowering them if we allow them to get away with this.

It is opportunity to send a very clear message that Christian no waka come this country.

All Christian in Nigeria wake up now!!! This isn’t about I no dey vote. This election is not all about just for betterment of Nigeria but in defence of your faith. Please I beg you if you don’t plan to vote because of this go get your PVC before it is too late.

kayfra:
That is not a measure of performance. That's just sentimental drivel

Compare who increased their state's IGR the most. Who made more strategic investments? Who showed visionary leadership?

You are not ready to elect a leader

What nonsense investment! Always defending thieves.
Is anambra state same economic situation as Lagos? If anambra should introduce tax to improvise poor families in the name of raising igr what becomes of them. Let it be known that anambra state became state with least poverty.

mrvitalis:
Fashola is myopic in his reasoning .. and the job or economic boom is only but temporary let's check it

350 billion was used to build second Niger bridge ...how many people was employed permanently by that contract I can boldly tell you not more than 200 , contract staff not more than 10,000

If you gave 1 billion each to manufacturer in that area that focus on import substitution or exportable products ...you would have 350 multi billion factories

Let's take a garment factory for exam ..a 1 billion Naira garment factory can easily ... easily employ 2000 permanently and pay them over 80k per month ...their tax would be 12k say worse case 8k ...that's 16 million revenue from that business alone add profit tax you have around 50 million guaranteed revenue for government ...say you have around 20 garment factory funded and say 15 survive that's 750 million revenue guaranteed and 30,000 people permanently employed and reducing pressure on dollar demand for import

330 billion left

1 billion can build you four 50,000 capacity poultry farm ...you can look for the biggest poultry farmers and invest 1 billion each for 50 people ...or you can ask smaller farmers to form cooperatives ...do you know the effect this would have on our food security ? That's 50 billion ..this can create 2000 permanent jobs


We can do the same for fish farmers ...say 50 billion and create 3000 permanent jobs

Buying fishing trawlers for $1 million dollars and giving them to local fishermen would create employment ...50 billion can buy minimum of 75 trawlers...each can employ 15 people ...that's over a thousand people permanently ...

This is just less than half of that money used for that bridge ..half ooh ...

Doing the above n building bridge which would grow the economy more ?

No dey mind this fashola supporter. I dare say that fashola knows nothing about how to grow a developing economy. People just follow those they love without scrutinising if such person made sense.

People supporting fashola are one of those making Nigeria poorer.

If you like keep supporting people who have sworn to make Nigeria worst.

Pakute:
Obi is a fraud. A fraud that says infrastructure doesn't drive economy.

You people are definitely funny. To be honest with what fashola said clearly shows he too lacks how economy works. The solution he propounded only can work in developed economies not like ours.

All generations shall call me blessed.

Good development.

6 Southerners and one Northerner!

Now, we no go hear peeem from children of hate, frustrations and perdition.
The bitter and frustrated animals in our nation.

We guess they are all disappointed by now,
But we are damn sure, they will still have something negative to pour out from their ever bitter souls.

Awon werey 100%

You are the most unpatriotic Nigerian I have ever seen. Pretending all over the internet as if he cares about the country.

Very clear you lack knowledge of what you devout your time daily. It is shameful!

Common sense would have told you what the constitution says about ministerial appointment and your lord and saviour only replaced ministers who have resigned and can only replace them from same state as the former.

Please grow some sense!

AsomArchitectNG:
I do not think people realize how important 2023 is.
Let me explain.
Last year Nigeria made:
970.3billion from oil
1.6-Trillion from non-oil taxs (more revenue from this than oil)
2.8-Trillion from a cumulative of other sources.
In total the country brought in 5.5 Trillion in revenue..



Then it gets crazy from here

Out of that 5.5-Trillion revenue, 4.2-Trillion was spent on servicing (repaying) debts from January to November.
So what is left after paying debts is 1.3-Trillion. Which, as a matter of fact; means that what is left after repaying what we owe is not enough to run the country... Because in the 2021 national budget, the nation needs to run on a total of 13.57-Trillion. So since we just have 1.3-Trillion left, an extra 12.27-Trillion is needed.

Where do we get it?
Yes, you guessed right right - we borrowed.
In 2021 Nigeria spent 12.56-Trillion - most of which were borrowed money spent on things that do not bring money back (salary, fuel subsidy, looting, etc.) So if Nigeria was a man who makes 100k a month, he borrows 5million every month to pay for light bill, and running of the house.
See the picture now?
Scary isn't it?
The excess crude oil account (which is like our savings) is almost empty.

So not only does this man borrows like a craze person, he has no savings for emergencies (like if his boss decides not to pay salary)
Anyways, the finance minister thinks we're doing alright. That what we have is a revenue problem - and not a debt problem and if we make more we would be alright (this is why they're taxing everything) of course, she could be lying...but she might be right too.
The rule is we should never borrow more than 40% of our GDP.
We are at 36.9%
3.2% more and all the alarm bells goes off
Now - imagine if our revenue keeps dropping, and the debts keeps increasing. And one day - voom - 3.2% crossed!!

We need a new leadership style and i think if Peter obi is given a chance all this mess can be resolved. It's high time we boot these recycled old tyrrants that calls themselves leaders back to their cave.

May God continue to bless you for explaining this in the simplest terms possible.

Nigeria please I take God beg una, don’t reward this wicks politicians your vote. Forget ethnicity and vote Obi.

Parachoko:
There is nothing like SS/SE.

The PDP won't get 80% of the votes from the South South, Tinubu will win in the South South.

Atiku will likely win the South East, but he will lose to Tinubu in the South South. Tinubu will get 60-65% in the South South.

Please do you mind how you tinubu will win in south south? Or is this a wishful thinking?

Achilles881:
You too much, running a country is like running a business, let's use car parts business as example, some parts in cars are easily affordable let's call them A and their failure rate is high but are sold with marginal gain, thus you need to sell more of it before your gain becomes reasonable, the other parts are few let's call them B but their failure rate is low, therefore demand for this parts are iow but are sold with substantial gain, so what I noticed was that dealers stocked the parts A more cause of the demand, by doing this the generate a high amount of turnover and before you know it their capital becomes huge, parts B sales comes once in a while and even though you make huge gain selling one, you only use it to hold onto customers and prove the depth of your stock. A biginner who starts with parts B hardly succeeds, and ends borrowing money to even feed, but your chances of making it with parts A is high, Buhari and Apc started with parts B, gigantic mega projects with no fund to back it up, yes there's gain in it when finished but starting with small, small investment on human resources, investment in agriculture backed up by small scale industries that ultimately transforms into huge industries ie parts A yield small, small gain that coalesce to build gigantic infrastructures ie parts B, this way is easier because in other to climb an upstair you follow small, small steps, you don't jump to the top floor it's a very difficult task to accomplish no matter your strength.

May God bless you.

No better way to explain it, thanks

thebosstrevor1:
No.

You can see that government is taxing the working class so that they can pay back the loans, even though it is ridiculously high, that is the only option in a country that produces nothing

Since it can’t payback itself , isn’t such policy stupid? The government now resort to over taxing thereby placing enormous burden on her citizens. Even the tax collected can’t pay back this loan and would require FG to take from little earnings from oil to meet loan obligations.

If the government had prioritise borrowing on infrastructure that can pay back itself , that would have made sense. This government is not thinking at all. My Chinese friend once told me that Nigeria government is stupid, and I agree totally.

thebosstrevor1:
So are loans not redirect into infrastructures.

Loans sponsored the airports, power plants, railways, repairs of roads that the present government is carrying out.

Nigerians need social intervention, without social intervention many people will be sent down the poverty line, i believe there is nothing bad in that.

On the issue of cutting cost of the national assembly, i think it is easier to write on paper about cutting cost but in reality, the house aren't earning much as claimed by the press. Many of the money people claim they receive they don't have access to them, most of these money are meant for projects in their communities, so how then do you expect the people to be represented
on the federal level

Simple question, can loans used to fund the present railway repay back itself?

Perfectbeing:
True.

But we do need railway. Railways and trains would be needed when the Government decides to end fuel subsidy.
Use of trains cannot be over emphasised. Tell me any developed country that doesn't have a working railway.

And for agriculture, the Government first need to improve it's security. Any policy the Government takes on agriculture will be useless if the farmers are not secured in the farmland.

Buhari's government have invested the most in agriculture, but we can't see the output cos our farmers are getting killed by bandits....
For ever farmer that is killed, so is 100 of bags of rice or beans or maize or onions.

Tell that to those who are uneducated.
We don’t need railway everywhere at the moment because we lack resources to finance it. We should focus on how to increase our wealth to reduce poverty.

Buhari strategy was designed to fail. He has nothing to offer. Read my thread when I was in Nigeria, it is because of is re-election I left. We the youth caused it and if we make same mistakes again, it is over for this generation.

Don’t support this old men there will always give excuse for failing.

We can do better!

Perfectbeing:
For now oil is only what we can sell. And even if we wanted to invest in other resources, we'll need money to do that. We need our roads, railway, electricity to be available so even outsiders can come and invest.. And how do we do this when we don't have don't have the money

Why trying to expand critical infrastructure we should be focused more in building our steel complex and extract our abundance coal.

I don’t subscribe to that nonsense that some cabal don’t want us to build a steel complex. If Iran and North Korea can lay their hands on highly regulated nuclear design , how much more common steel complex. If we have a the will , there is always way.

I don’t agree on some you have put out there. Our leaders are just lazy and lack creativity. When I go to Tesco in uk to purchase some fruits like bananas and cucumber, I dares say ours is better than what they sell here in the UK. Question is when signing trade deals, why can’t we push our products for export and try to increase output here in Nigeria. All they do is to travel without impact. We can do a lot in agriculture , we can rebuild our educational system such that we can be able to export talent to the world taking a leaf from India this will increase Nigeria remittances.

We don’t railway system all over the country at the moment in my opinion, rather build to targets areas where we make product for export.

When we begin to make money , then we can start to expand our rail system. We don’t have plenty money for things we want .

We can do a lot just that I don’t have time to start giving you ideas on what we can do.

Do you know Pakistan are the highest buyers of tea, why are we not encouraging taraba state to help in farming tea for export.

thebosstrevor1:
Like where do we do the cut backs.

Even if peter obi tells all ministers and head of parastatals to start riding bicycles because they want to cut cost, do you think the money saved will be able to build a 500mw power station

According to 2022 budget, we are running 6.78trn deficit and you prefer to continue borrowing instead of cutting down costs of things you can do without.
For example, why can’t we look into areas like National Assembly where income isn’t generated and see how much we can cut from their budget likewise the the executive.Also redirect loans into infrastructure that can pay back itself .Do away with the social intervention by buhari administration and direct the cash into building the 1500mw of power station.

thebosstrevor1:
I am not talking about wastage.

Savings does not make one rich, it infact make you poor.

Nigeria government is full of wastage and we need drastic cut backs to free some cash to finance what the country needs . E.g education and critical infrastructure to help power industrial clusters.

Perfectbeing:
Either that or borrowing from a bank.

You can’t jump to the bank for borrowing if your earnings is poor. Currently we earn too little and only way out is to look for what to sell to the international community to earn foreign exchange.

Perfectbeing:
That is what some people don't understand.. They think Nigeria has the money to build infrastructures and run the economy without borrowing. They don't know.

The very reason you don’t want to continue voting people who can’t grow wealth. You need to increase your income before thinking of building a house.

thebosstrevor1:
Peter obi flies economy, peter obi has no escort, peter obi carries his bag by him, this is why you should vote for Peter obi.

Peter Obi will save Nigeria from wastage because he will carry his bag by himself, his ministers will carry their own bags, he will fly economy, his ministers will fly economy, he won't have orderly, so his ministers won't have ordelies, therefore he will cut the cost of running government and save money for Nigeria.

Anybody selling this mantra, is wasting his time, Nigeria at this moment does not need someone that can save,Nigeria needs someone that can spend and increase consumption and production to make the economy works.

Pls, stop selling peter obi as a penny wise and pound folish candidate , it won't work for majority of Nigerians.

Stop selling peter obi as a man who is inefficient and wants to do everything cheap because he wants to cut cost, this literally will create lot of sub-Standard infrastructures and unfinished projects.

Nigerian need someone who can make things work not someone who will spend all his presidential power on saving money.

Nobody becomes rich through wastage. I hope I made sense!

Pls where is the location of the 270MW built by tinubu administration?


Thank you

PrinceOfLagos:
Tinubu was rejected yesterday by borno people as the governor of the state tried to sell Tinubu to the people ..

The governor got the most embarrassing moment of his life yesterday as he tried to sell Tinubu to the people of borno state .

From the body language of borno people towards Tinubu, it will only take the grace of God for Tinubu to get 5thousand votes in borno .

Mynd44 lalasticlala Oam4j

If obi want to get votes in the north, he should endeavour to relocate to the north and keep up preaching about voting right. He has intimidating credentials to wrestle power from these guys. Tour the north and visit each local government, if he has the strength.

Samunique:
I watched with bemusement while El Rufai was promoting Muslim Muslim ticket tactically on channels tv on the basis of capability rather than religion.

While this may sound intelligently but rather manipulative, considering the nature of the personality that is talking. We all know El Rufai is a serpent!!!

My question is, what has Muslim Muslim ticket achieved so far in Kaduna, security wise, socially, economically etc ?

If El Rufai talks about capability, he should be able to tell us what his Muslim Muslim ticket capability has benefited the Kaduna people so far, most especially security wise, so that we can take him serious .

We are talking about national politics not state, would El Rufai have said same thing, if it's Christian Christian ticket that's being projected?

Would he be talking about capability over religousity ?

Nairalanders over to you!




https://www.thecable.ng/el-rufai-on-muslim-muslim-ticket-fixation-of-nigerians-on-religion-is-pathetic/amp

That is my worry with those pushing this devilish agenda. Will the north accept a Christian Christian government?
In fact no need to worry myself , it an opportunity for opposition to seize power if they know how to play politics?

onatisi:
unfortunately sire , NIGERIANS ARE NOT WISE MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DANGLE 5K NAIRA INFRONT OF THEM , THEY WILL EVEN VOTE FOR SATAN IF HE CAN PAY THEM

My brother I have been following you and your education for us to choose right but we are stuck with our oppressors. You are saying 5k , just 1500 people will vote.

APC is setting up bad precedence in our country. El rufai did it worked. Now they want to take it to national level. Assuming this formula work, Christian will gradually go into extinction.

onatisi:
going to meet the people you defeated at the polls is somehow new to nigeria, it is usually the other way round but i think this is a good move from tinubu .
Those defeated at the polls will certainly feel committed to him and their electoral defeat bitterness is most likely to vanish most especially if he refunds their 100m nomination fee to them . they will do their best to make sure that he wins the general elections

He is doing everything to win this election but the masses got to say no to this people. The total salary a president will earn legitimately for four years is about 54m but he bought his form for 100m. How about total money he spent on delegates? How is going to recoup all that?

If Nigerians are wise desperate people vying for office like this should be disregarded because we don’t have the luxury to gamble with our lives for the next 8 years.

Nigerians be wise
