No one is a fool here and they recognize the fact that one has to be weary of the Chinese loan but here are the real point the guy made to counter your Aunty you’re so much willing to lick her behind.

1. The only pitfall with Chinese loans is when you’re unable to pay back they takeover the project as their own(has happened in some other African countries) however, the infrastructure has been put in place and they won’t remove it.

2. The West don’t care if you use the loan for the purpose it is meant for. They don’t care if the money is embezzled or not. That is why they keep giving loans to corrupt regime of GEJ because they more you embezzle the more you’re unable to pay and the more enslaved you become.

3. The Chinese don’t deal with thieves, they put their money where their mouth is and make sure the loans are used for the purpose they’re meant for.

4. This is the most dangerous part of the western loan. The Chinese don’t require the government to retrench its civil Servants when they default or are unable to pay up. The West on the other hand as part of its loan conditions will require the government to retrench Ita civil servants.

The bottom line is that, everyone recognize that China is not Santa Claus but their intention is far more genuine and open than the west’s. Even the west recognize this and they fear China taking over but with lesser or no intention to enslave that is why they’ve being in a panick mode since the China-Africa summit.

They know their milking cows are about to be set free. If not when was the last time a British PM or a German chancellor or French President visited Africa let alone in the same year.

Unfortunately for them and fortunately for Africa, their leader(the US) is under the leadership of a mad man.

mycar:
Even the guy is wrong. When you are repaying a loan, the interest you pay is that of the balance and not that of the original principal. The guy is into elementary mathematics.
Anyways, i've got a better thing to do with my time.

SolutionMee:


A whole Vice President for that matter. It is expected of him to be in his office performing his executive functions and not rallying around in Osun State. Our problem in this country is that we love begging the truth and deceiving ourselves. If not, why should a midget be leading a rally? It's like someone telling you that you can make heaven by following the devil. That's deceitful.

I was old enough in 1984 to know who PMB is, I can remember TELL magazine publications on how PMB diverted PTF funds running into millions yet your Mr. integrity never refuted any of the accusations

In 1977, the military head of state, Lt. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, set up a crude oil sales tribunal to investigate the operations of the Nigerian National Oil Company (NNOC, which metamorphosed into NNPC same year). The tribunal found out that in three years, NNOC had failed to collect its equity share of oil produced by Shell, Mobil and Gulf. As a joint venture partner, NNOC was entitled to 182.95 million barrels of oil production. But NNOC did not find buyers for its own share, thereby losing a potential income of $2.8 billion. But it was instead reported by the media that $2.8 billion was missing.

God bless Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki

I feel so at ease and at peace with Saraki

As an Igbo man I feel like my security will surely be guaranteed under a Saraki Presidency and that he will be fair to all Nigerians no matter where they come from

Dose people ur calling flat headed ipobs are billionaires oo

RichardKajola:
It's funny that most people think this money will go a long way for these traders. It's unfortunate that Nigerians have been made so poor that 10k is looking big. So in other words they have made us so poor so that if they do anything small for us, we see it as very big. Will #10000 be enough for their children to spend for a week? The govt should be ashamed of this.
Someone said the money will help them expand their business, the question is that how many goods can they buy with #10000? or is it not the same market me and you go to that they will buy the goods or ago? The thing is that the politicians want the people to remain poor but happy enough to vote for them.
The govt should be ashamed of these k
It is PATHETIC

Kobomax:

What is the need of 7. 1 million people lost their jobs in 3years.

CSTR1005:
I thought you guys claimed that igbos are too hateful, play politics of emotion, and put all their eggs in one basket.

You now want them to put all their eggs in your basket and be hateful to your enemies.

Good boy.

omoiyalayi:
Is it the business they do with the money that is the problem ? or the fact that they gave money to traders to boost their businesses ?

I think pdp and their supporters are mad

Tell me which trader will get #10,000 to boost his/her business that will not be happy even pure water seller

Pdp are just angry they are not the one in possession of that kind of money

We all know what they would have done with it

Bunch of losers

Transparent:
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has berated the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, over the federal government’s empowerment of some traders with N10,000 in Osun State.

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Osinbajo.jpeg

PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said it was a shame that Osinbajo could condescend to empower “Agbo jedi” sellers with N10,000 in Osun State.

Sharing a photograph of those empowered on his Twitter handle, Ologbondiyan wrote, “It’s a shame that a pastor and a professor of law, VP @ProfOsinbajo will stoop this low to encourage the 10k “agbo jedi” empowerment in Osun.

“Aregbe has made life so pitiable for Osun citizens.”

Osinbajo had on Monday arrived in Iwo, Osun State, to launch an empowerment programme for 30,000 traders across the state.

The programme tagged ‘Tradermoni’ is an initiative of the Federal Government in collaboration with the Bank of Industry for petty traders.

Each of the 30,000 traders are billed to receive the sum of N10,000 to boost their businesses.

Executive Director of BOI, Toyin Adeniji, said the bank would not relent until every Nigerian who is willing, has access to loans irrespective of their status or level of education.

Singapore is 70% Chinese. The rest are Malays and Indians. Fact.

Singapore was rejected and expelled from Malaysia. Mostly because the Malays thought they were going to be a clog the wheel of Malaysian development. Singaporeans were so poor, dirty and uneducated. Fact.

The rest of the things you said here does not exist. I am restrained to call you a liar because you just may sincerely think you are right.

Singapore, like most south east Asian countries couldn't have gotten any financial or political support from China when for years China shut its doors to the world in the name of cultural revolution. This was the time Mao Zedong held sway. No money, little education and retrogressive communist policies. This was the worst time for the chinese. The communist Chinese government were only using their little money to sponsor communist parties in all of Asia.

The democratic and progrssive Singaporean government led by Lee Kuan Yew never saw eye to eye with Mao's communist China who did everything possible to overthrow the PAP party. So, how could Mao invest in a country he hates? Remember, Singapore had a good rapport and struggle with Taiwan. An abomination to the chinese.

Matter of fact, Singapore was called upon to assist China with some economic, financial, technological and social policies/support as soon as Deng Xiaoping took over from Mao and the famous four. This call produced produced one of the biggest tech hubs in Asia. As we speak, Singapore is the largest foreign investors in mainland china.

Now, let me give you a little idea of how Singapore developed.

1. Their leaders mapped out sound policies with focus and deadlines.

2. Their leaders had the political will to implement these sound policies.

3. Though they had different races and tribes; their leaders tried to expunge nepotism and corruption. Change began with the Lee kuan Yew's cabinet...not with the masses.

4. The Singaporeans saw the honesty in the leadership of their country, and thereby gave their full support to whatever will move the country forward.

5. Singapore was hugely financed by the Americans as they were training and using Singaporeans to service their war equipments that were used in Vietnam war. It was expensive to fly these equipments back to USA for servicing. This is why Singapore later became a leader in service industry. Ships, aircrafts etc.

6. Singapore also received a lot of loans from the Americans in compensation of allowing them use their land and waters for launching their aircrafts during the war.

Nigeria also received loans and aids from U.K.and USA at the same time with Singapore, SK, Taiwan and HK, but what did they do with it? They squandered it. They had and most still have no morals and no drop of political will.

Singapore was rated lower than DR congo in the 60s.
But today, Singapore is the 3rd largest exporter of refined crude after USA and Norway. Please, note that Singapore has no single drop of crude oil in their land.

So, for how long are we going to keep make excuses for Nigeria? I even hear people talk about how tribes are the problem...and I laugh so hard. Do you know how many tribes Indonesia has? Singapore has many tribes too, but most baffling is that they have about 3 different races. That is worst to keep together than tribes who just look alike but may speak a little different languages.

It was character that was enforced by equal and efficient justice system that developed Singapore and any other developed nation you see today. China didn't develop it for them.

Matter of fact, Singapore developed China.

dasparrow:
Stop making excuses for Nigeria's failure. The same brain God gave Singaporeans is the same brain he gave Nigerians. The difference is that the Nigerian has refused to use his brain. You people keep supporting politicians who cannot differentiate their left hand from their right all because they are from your tribe and/or religion.



Nigerians know what need to be done to move the country forward but many Nigerians are too complacent. Most Nigerians are too selfish. As long as they and their immediate family members are comfortable, everyone else can go to hell. As long as they are living in their big mansions with walls as high as the wall of Jericho with soldiers and policemen safe guarding their homes and families, they can care less if the country goes up in flames.

Nigeria will never be like Singapore or other developed countries because most Nigerians lack the passion, intelligence, selflessness and will power to move their country forward. They are content living off the breadcrumbs that the political elite throw at them while they sing their praises on social media including Nairaland and wallow in extreme poverty.

ObservantFellow:
So, You are trying to create an excuse for Nigeria's inability to grow. That, my friend, is pathetic. Give Singapore what you claim above and they will still succeed. You make it sound like life was a bed of roses for them from the start.
See all our natural resources we've been unable to utilize in diversifying the country. The same crude of yesterday is still the sole provider.
See the population you see as a curse is actually called manpower elsewhere. A good number of them educated but under-utilized. There is plan for only very few of them.
What could have brought them into use is large scale industrialization. But even that is a pipe dream when you consider our infrastructures. Electricity so irregular and so expensive, roads so bad it's a risk even walking on them. So industry cannot survive.

Please, don't make excuses for Nigeria.

madenigga:
all these initial gragra you are doing insulting people up and down is only because I have not gotten ready for you. the day I will be I would personally make sure I frustrate you in this nairaland.

kotv:
What an illogical comparison. Both China and US have higher population than Nigeria. US has more diversity than Nigeria yet both are much more developed than Nigeria. Population does not limit a country's growth of you have the right people leading it. I don't expect someone who defends that illiterate Buhari to understand. Go on give more excuses for Nigeria's lack of growth

UncleJudax:
No be Una say Unity in diversity?

Una never see anything.

NdiaraIGBO:
I have read all you have to say BUT I like you to go and carry out 1 simple experiment please;

When the 'leadership' of Singapore makes a new law or new rule, how do the citizens react and respond?

Now carry out the same analysis on Nigerians.

The fact is our leaders are a mirror reflection of the people. They are what you call a sample of the population (as in statistics).

We the people are the problem.

deomelo:
Nigeria of course is not a well managed country, but comparing both countries missed the mark because of geography, culture, national character, access to tools of development and manpower.

Singapore is basically a Chinese country with well over 70% Chinese population, they rapidly developed based on resources, investments, tools and manpower from China.

Now please tell us, what do you have in common with Singapore that gave you the same opportunities like Singapore?

In fact, Singapore was part of Malaysia and they obtained their independence from Malaysia, are both on the same level today?
