That's the cut in cutlery, my friend

Nigeria has expended about #5trn on infrastructure since Buhari came in; how has it been driving the economy?

Northern Nigeria have the better infrastructure on average according to those who've spend time there (I stand corrected). What is the story so far?

Let's stop putting the cart before the horse. If it's not working, it's not working.

Peter Obi's comment was really really simple. Many of the naysayers are skimming headlines without going through content. He clearly said "The more educated the people, the better it is on the economy, which in the long run helps our development as a nation. You don’t do physical infrastructure before human infrastructure. Human capital is too low in Nigeria."


No one puts a gold ring on a pig snout or gives shoes to the cripple.

Don't you think bringing this up here amount to a diversion since what you said has nothing to do with Fashola's point of view?

If one was very observant, one would have noticed that you left out the most important infrastructure of all in today's economy (which ironically, was the major selling point of the aforementioned minister). One would also wonder why

But I'm not really that observant so we can let that slide.

Production may be aided by infrastructure as it will create convenience to an extent. But infrastructure is more dependent on the existence of production; never the other way round.

Take the life of the indigenes of one of Southern State islands.

The presence of government infrastructure there are the solar lamps and school. They have no roads or electricity. Not even government aids (if we can call that infrastructure too). But they produce enviable crops and timber nonetheless. As at when I was there, none of their children, however educated, held any oil jobs (or slots as they called them). The solar lamps help movement at night; when their production has gone to rest for the day.

It can be seen that infrastructure for them, at the primary stage of production, creates convenience and ease - that's about it.

I hope your use of colonial language English has made your life any better

I hope you have a UK or US or any English speaking country visa or residency card

If not your slavish worship of another man's language is a total waste of your life

I hope your use of the colonial language, English, has made your life better.

I also hope you have the visa or residency permit of UK, US or any other English speaking country.

If not, your slavish worship of another man's language is a total waste of your life

It may be another man's language but that is the language Nigeria has in common. I don't think any excuse can justify lack of proficiency in it; especially not on social media.

I understand anger can make people not really mind the quality of their speech, but I still think a discussion on certificates will be strange grounds to you, except you make legitimate attempts to be better.

It's nothing personal, boss. I just feel it's important to keep one's forte in mind.

OgunLaakaye:



Cheap political gimmicks!


That hommie owns a house in Ikoyi! He could afford to buy a 400 hectares oil palm plantation., producing for only his family members.


Don't fall for cheap usual political stunt!

Why do you think he did this?

Moh247:

Tinubu is a master strategists

I think you should stay out of any discussion where certificates is the topic, boss.

Both you and your friend are not part of the reason Nigeria needs Peter Obi.

That's why you've got so much time on your hands.

Secondary school experience should be enough to guide them through. This is Alternative to practical.

Transcriber:
David Hundeyin is an hypocrite

Mark my words

He will be taken to the dusters soon.

You arrived at the dusters the moment you clicked 'Submit', Chief

ajekpaks:
Why not state the solution here? some other people might benefit from it as well, it doesn't have to be only the OP...

While he may have ulterior motives, I can understand the need for a private conversation.

It's not easy unloading all probable suggestions here but a list of things to try, one after the other, is better done in private and with feedback after each step.

Lucky him. Not many blacks are.

FreeStuffsNG:
You are being alarmist and not putting your education to good use with this lamentation.

You're one to judge with your ostrich approach to life in Nigeria.

All of you will have sense eventually. The cock is coming home to roost.

has if the sentence is correct.
have if a 'the' is omitted before the Chairman.

Golan007:
Have this same energy when igbos without provocation, hurl insults on others, especially the northerners whom we all agree are quite few o this forum.

Senior man, rest and enjoy your pension.

FACT CHECK: Did Tinubu really incorporate youth empowerment for street urchins and contribute to their athletic development?

TRUE
Tinubu's revenue generation mechanism provided empowerment since 1999 until date for street urchins to relentlessly cut holes of different sizes into the fabrics of transport drivers and conductors struggling to make ends meet. This empowerment demanded that they possess and maintain an incredible amount of speed as they chase down any passenger/haulage vehicle or bike irrespective of size, colour or condition.

LeoDeKing:
As far as I'm concerned, the very fact that Tinubu is not supported by igbos is a million reason I support him.

Enjoy boss

Peter Obi winning this elections removes power from the Elite few and places it firmly in the hands of the masses.

This is a turning point for our democracy.

Once the top is sanitised, sanity will flow downwards like lava.

It's unfortunate but I already burst this claim here..

A simple Google search would have prevented this dance of shame.

This thread here shows that there was a signed letter from 1999 affirming that Bola Tinubu attended Chicago State University.

But when I ran a basic search is run on 'Lois M Davis' who signed the letter; the search revealed a Registrar bearing such name as a worker in Chicago State University but was not employed there until about 2010.

So the question is; How did a Registrar sign off a letter for an institution eleven years before being employed there?

Merlin (or Harry Potter if you wish), over to you.

I find the clapbacks above quite intriguing

Supreme Court gives..
Supreme Court takes..

Anyways, they have a viable democracy so they'll be fine in the end.

SuRamzy:
i'm voting nobody in the upcoming election
f*ck y'all urchins.

I respect your decision. But I wish to appeal to you now than ever. Nigerians are more united for the same cause now than ever; rescuing our economy.

If you can; consider that the next generation deserve a good legacy from us and the giving starts now.

Vote in a responsible persona free from godfatherism and corruption. That's how we begin our legacy collectively.

Vote Peter Obi 2023.

Alright. In due time.

For now, rescuing our economy is our priority now.

I'ld be surprised if they dig holes for themselves.

But it's the proper thing to do for a free and fair election; make everything verifiable

You are an example of someone who can speak English, but know nothing.

Typical.

aribisala0:
The provision of secondary education is not the responsibility of the FG

When we talk of creating an enabling environment for citizens, isn't education at all level part of it?

Which country worth its salt that we aspire to be like does not do this for her citizens?

This take is massively shocking. What a regressive thought.

NetValueFX:
Urchins will not like this.

Do you have a problem with bosstrevor and helinues?
