Politics › Re: Amid Controversy, Lagos Council Releases Fresh List Of Renamed Streets by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 4:09pm On Aug 02, 2025
Willy2025:
I don't really see any sense in all these. Even though, there are no Yoruba named in the East, we shouldn't do the same here. We should show that we are more mature and detribalised
There is Awolowo street in Umuahia.
There is Adelabu street in Umuahia.

There are streets, closes and estates named after Yorubas in Owerri, Rivers and Delta that I know.

If anyone renames those streets, Igbos will find it funny.

You'll hardly even find them sharing pics of streets named after Yorubas even with this foolish thoughtless moves in Eti-Osa.

Nobody get that time.
Politics › Re: True Federalism: Listen To The Patriots’ Call - Punch Editorial by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 3:42pm On Aug 02, 2025
lexy2014:
is nigeria operating fake federalism?

hjnjnjkjwek
Yes.
Our version of federalism is fake.

In true federalism , the states or federating units have power over their resources and only remit a fraction to the FG
They also have power over security, investments and economic development.
They are more like self-governing units which behold to the federal center as a common unifier.

They have so much power that they can easily secede if they choose to.


If we had a true federal system, Moghalu, Sowore and Kwankwaso will not be hustling for political offices.
We would have elected the best among us as premiers and the best among our class of premiers as Prime Minister.


Federating units would have invested in areas where they have economic advantage such as Agriculture.
They would have developed their tourist ans heritage sites and maintained their investments to boost their IGR.

Corruption would have reduced as the focus would have been on revenue generation, not tribalism.

FG wouldn't have needed to be borrowing money to fund budgets and money would not have been wasted on white elephant projects.

Also, states would have been in competition with each other in all facets to be counted as the best.

This was the era of groundnut pyramids and palm oil flow.
This was the era when the Naira had more value than the dollar.

Today, states are comatose because whether they generate funds or not, the FG will give them allocation and security votes.

A fake federalism, this is.

Babangidapikin:
They said they want to overall the building to barebone .. Buhari's administration spent $100 million , they're about to spend between $400 million to $500million. Before you know it we might end up spending $1billion maintaining a structure that should have been completely brought down and rebuilt. Why not save $1 billion and build a brand new airport.
Nigeria is a massive crime scene.

Also, why use metal frames instead of concrete pillars, knowing they'll eventually rust and fall apart?

Watch political scroungers plaster the structure with substandard materials and loot the rest of the money.

Nigeria is a massive crime scene.

that's how my people catch their cruise. It's nothing to us. Even here in Awka, I can count ten different houses I have seen such throne like chairs . We see it as ordinary chairs. Tomorrow, I fit make throw away money too and decide I want one for myself, that does not make me less or more than my neighbor. In Igbo land , we see ourselves and other people as equal . Also when it comes to making money , overtaking is allowed. Others might not understand how we roll but honestly it's not a big deal. Do you know that that king can be shouted down even in his kindred meeting, if he say or do something wrong? So it's not a big deal
Lol.

Politics › Re: Our Pensions Are Miserable – IGP, Egbetokun Petitions Senate by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 9:51am On Jul 31, 2025
FG should reform the Nigerian police.

Its long overdue.


Where things are working, it should be the police that would be fighting terrorists, bandits and criminals.
It is a dysfunctional nation that releases its combative military forces for internal crisis responses.

The army is trained to kill, take hostage or torture.
Unleashing them on civilian population means havoc on the people and an eventual softening of the hardness that the military is known for.

Take the police off roadblocks, take them off special duties, return them to beats, equip them with kits and uniforms and pay them handsomely.

Why would crime not reduce?

God never speaks to Nigerian prophets about fire outbreaks, flooding, bandit attacks and the economy.

It is usually about the next elections, football and sensational predictions that forex traders can even do far better in.

Funniest thing is, the same God who told this prophet about one thing will tell primate Ayodele another thing entirely.

What if she was just unconscious, passed out?

She looks like someone who just suddenly switched off without warning.

Basic CPR classes should be more mandatory than BVN and NIN.




Btw, her number is not on WhatsApp and would most likely not be on other social media platforms.

Politics › Re: Tinubu Displayed Naira’s Worthlessness With $100,000 Reward To Falcons – LP by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 11:17am On Jul 30, 2025
Kemetian:
Do you know Nigeria was spending billions of dollars a year to prop up the naira?

Does your region produce even 1 million dollars a year to pay for that?

The Naira is its True Value now.

To make it stronger, you buy Made in Nigeria.

When you see Aba made shoes, don't laugh and choose Italian made.

Because you pay for that in dollars or Euros.

When you walk into a shop to buy a wristwatch and you see a Nigerian made watch and a Swiss watch, buy the Nigerian made watch.

That is how you raise the value of your currency.

The more demand for a particular currency to pay for goods and services, the higher the value of the currency.

That's how it works. You don't force it.

If you don't use naira for major purchases of Made in Nigeria goods, but prefer imports, you can never have a high valued currency.

All Tinubu did was bring you back to reality.

The other day I posted a thread on how Nigerian women spend nearly a billion dollars every year on imported dog hair from Brazil.

If they decided to make indigenous hairstyles and braids, plaits trend, that could create 5 million new jobs for local hair stylists, and raise the naira value. Multiply that by other sectors.The naira value would rise in value overnight.

You are your own worst enemies, not Tinubu.

You are probably standing there dressed head to toe in imported gear - jeans t shirt, sneakers. None made in Nigeria.

Yet you expect high naira value. How?

Go to China today and present a Chinese man on the street with two pairs of shoes, one pair made in China, the other made in Italy. He will choose the one made in China, even though he knows the Italian one is of 'better quality' (supposedly).

When you understand why he did that, and apply such logic to yourselves, you will see your Naira value rise naturally as a matter of course.
You know nothing about macroeconomics.

You think trade is about sentiments?

Favourable balance of trade implies developing and exporting commodities you're good at and importing the ones you're weak in.

Nigeria has leverage in gold, petroleum, cash crops, human capital etc.
These are markets that should be given unfair advantage and developed.

We currently don't produce enough rice to feed ourselves, not to even talk about export.
We have no business blockading imports of things we don't sufficiently produce, or forcing products we're not good at, down people's throats.

I would choose a Swiss watch over a Nigerian watch any day.
I would choose Nigerian palm oil over palm oil from anywhere else.

Our leaders are either ignorant or don't take their advisers seriously.

Why do some people campaign against dictatorship?

Why would we have a very passionate revolutionary only to replace him after four or eight years with billions of dollars wasted in conducting elections?

Why would such a person not be a life president?
