Master strategist with no strategy instead he turned to tax collector!

Wants to tax Nigerians to death!

They're leaving. This is just PR stunt

Why do you make these childish comments?How many Obidients has responded to him?

Thats how Hell Rufai criticized the subsidy and you ran away with it that he is our new messiah

helinues:


Sowore don become una sudden lover, hahaha

Him go soon come after Peter Obi

Why didnt those deported to Osun claim Lagos? Are they not Yorubas?

CluelessMODS:
They can claim Lagos after all they are Yorubas, which one be Chinedu from Anambra coming to claim Lagos?

Igbos have legitimate businesses in Lagos. It will be the 'O' states

Slytiger:
Lobatan. We all know who the real targets are

Lagos deported a few to Osun so they don't come back and claim victim mentality.

We don't care about him. He was instrumental in rigging Obi out in Rivers

Coolestguy2023:
This one is digging is grave. Just let Ipob/obi people continue to push you. You downfall is just around the corner

We had Abacha, Babangida etc. The struxture will not allow many govt to perform.

We must restructure to a true federalism or continue to sink

emkz:
I am not interested in Tinubu's integrity, capacity, capability and energy for anything. Such attributes are expected from the collective. Unfortunately, a man with such attributes would be messed up by the gang of the corrupt, including those who refuse to acknowledge defeat in an election they lost.

What we need is a completely ruthless man who'd deploy extreme ruthlessness to set Nigeria aright.

With such ruthlessness, terrorists and their sponsors would be executed in secret. Those stealing our patrimony would be executed quietly.

Nigerians need to be afraid. Right now, people commit the crimes in our faces as if it is fashionable to do so.

Obasanjo was ruthless and got results in some areas. For example, if it was Obasanjo, some governors would never get away with the crimes they are committing like that one in Rivers State claiming he is the one to determine the existence of the Rivers State House of Assembly members.

With the way Nigeria is right now with brazen corruption, we need someone deadly to cut these people to size. Trying people for corruption has never worked as they find a way to ruin cases or drag them until they are ruined. Some of them bribe judges and find technicalities to make the rest of us look foolish. Look at one politician who was convicted of corruption got released due to a technicality. He is in the senate today making laws and almost became vp.

A lot is just wrong and anyone would be overwhelmed.

Is it your loss?

thesicilian:
Obidients actually made Peter Obi lose the election.

Obi is not desperate to be president. He is desperate to see Nigeria work!

datopaper:
That thought just came to my mind. That PETER obi need to discard OBIDIENTS movement for more broader movement.

That will stop attacking people or opinion that is different from theirs.

If you leave them you are in trouble. And they need to stop being hostile

He is becoming overzealous. Very soon it will become clear if he is the one gingering the demolitions

DonXavi:
Someone should remind @Wahab, that he won't be there forever. Power is transient.

Tinubu won't catch these thieves because he is equally stealing by proxy.

You raised beautiful points but you're expecting too much from Tinubu. He doesn't have the integrity, capacity, capability and energy to fix these things.

I'm sure you know this!

emkz:
There have been some misteps in revenue drive by this administration.

As much as possible, the administration must engage stakeholders before rolling out some policies. They can leak the idea to the press to gauge public mood before rolling them out.

If they exhaust engagement, the likes of Obi and Atiku won't be able to find things to challenge and the administration won't suffer the ignominy of making reversals. Very soon, the media would chronicle the reversals.

At this time, President Tinubu does not seem to have a Chief Economic Adviser. Buhari operated without one until he set up an economic advisory body at the dying days of his administration that could not remedy the Buhari mess.

President Tinubu, you need an economic advisor now. Someone who fully understands development economics. We also need to stop the craze for FDIs and needless junketing that bring no useful results until we fix our internal issues. No one will invest in the current climate of flip flop policies.

Banks are declaring profits that we cannot seem to justify. The guy in Ministry of Steel says he needs $2billion dollars to fix Ajaokuta Steel Mill. Can't our banks or a consortium thereof declaring strange profits finance these deals and can't we find local technology to revitalize that place? If we don't have the technology, how about hiring internstional consultants to teach our engineers?

Also, why is Akpabio complaining about illegal mining and foreigners making more money than Nigeria? Its like the National Security Adviser openly complaining that security is getting worse. What are we doing there?

Can't we also get the stupendously wealthy to mine our resources for us? Why is Dangote not involved in mining? The guy in BUA, Tony Elumelu? Must we bring in foreigners to mine our resources? Does that not create a security problem?

I hear that local politicians, religious leaders and thugs connive with the foreigners to illegally steal our resources. The Chinese, Lebanese and francophone West African nationals are the worst culprits. Who has been jailed or deported?

President Tinubu, Nigeria is bleeding on all fronts. Crude oil theft is rampant. Let us find ways to plug these leakages and let government revenue get to the government and be used for public good.

I see no reason why someone stealing our crude oil or illegally mining our resources is alive. Wipe them off the face of the earth and show no sympathy, whoever they are.

Finally, it is not right to want to put more pressure on the citizens right now. The government needs to talk to itself too.

We need financial restructuring.

Abeg face Ibadan, you're not from Lagos

LegendHero:
Abeg don’t compare Lagos to a lawless state like Rivers.

You're taking the word of an opposition leader?

BondRiv:
This deceptive fellow.

Talking like women who normally and f00lishly say all men are the same after dating cultists and have their hearts broken

DarkandHandsome:
Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku all of you are all the same.

The illegitimate president?

Righthussle:
The mere fact that he decided to ridicule the president is a proof that he desired the opposite of peace. He is not an honourable man. He agreed to do something, he started it and stopped halfway because he listened to side talks. He's a little man.

He was part of Wike's rigging machine against Obi

healthkknatural:
Just Wondering , What Exactly is Fubara Sin ?

Wants know Why The Heat is so much on Him .

Diversion

Slytiger:
The opinion of an embodiment of criminality. Corruption's weak attempt at fighting back. 🤣

Exactly!

How much is being lost to cyber crime that 3 trillion is needed to fight? You cannot spend 3 trillion to prevent a loss of 500 billion.

MrPristine:
In 2023, N600 trillion worth of electronic payment transactions was done in Nigeria which was 55% up from the N387 trillion worth of transactions carried out in 2022 according to the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS).

Going by the trend we know that it is going to be significantly higher this year but if we are to use last year's figure, it means that the government stands to make at least N3 trillion with the new 0.5% levy.

The question arises what is the volume of cyber crime in Nigeria that they need as much as N3 trillion to fight it. Will the money be accounted for since it's going to be office of the National Security Adviser where it will be classified as security vote and not even subject to appropriation.

Or could it just be another grand design to fleece Nigerians under the guise of enhancing cybersecurity because it just doesn't add up. It is the duty of our financial institutions to enhance their cybersecurity capabilities and the CBN to ensure compliance. The office of the NSA has no role to play in this except to give a cover for not giving account of the money collected.

What an irony! For someone who supports Tinubu to call Obi a criminal? You nor well

CilicMarin:
Peter Obi Remains An Unelectable Criminal.

Obi got 97% of Anambra votes so few disgruntled people on nairaland years ago who were obviously misinformed cannot be a yardstick for measuring Obi's success.

Obi also defeated Tinubu in the Lagos he claimed he built

Godfullsam:
This obi is a good opposition critic. He is far better than the entire PDP in the game of opposition politics.

His only down side is that, he was a bad leader too.

Even his own people who are currently praising him now (for obvious reasons) testified that he was a terrible former governor . Internet never forgets, facts don't lie.

We love his opinion and opposition, at least it will put the incompetent balablu on his toes. However, we can't trust him with power.

He is not worth it!

Guy stop this nonsense!

You cannot blindly support everything.

If Tinubu continues like this, he might be kicked out of Aso Rock before 2027.

GBTYO:
Import duties have been slashed for essential goods and food imports.


Corporate taxes are either being waived or reduced.


Govt stimulus spending directly into infrastructure are being mapped out as against the previous unaccountable welfare system.


As for this Obi, in one of his yearly budgetary breakdown as Anambra govt, he factored fines totalling up to over a billion as part of his IGR.

Now you know why Anambra especially Onitsha was hit with multiple ticketing touts during his tenure.

Most of those funds ended up in the pockets of his touts and the vast majority went to his Pandora account.

White elephant projects

Tinubu has no capacity to move Nigeria forward; everybody knows this including Tinubu supporters.

Realizing it after one year is f00lishness

advanceDNA:
This is how it should be.....at the end of the day.....we should all be supporters of Nigeria first before we support any party or person that will leave power eventually

It's foolishness, delusional, and deceiving oneself when u defend every wicked and senseless policy just because u want to fight against obi or atiku, or other oposition

Hold Tinubu accountable if you really want him to succeed. Insulting Obi won't help Tinubu

EreluRoz:
Honestly they have hijacked our government, I think we have secret and coded LP people in our government because I don't know a better explanation for what they've been doing lately

Hmm they secretly worked for Obi in Lagos, are you thinking what I'm thinking 🤔?

Not SS but still in Lagos. That project aint getting to SS

SeeWahala:
Meanwhile the tilumbu's lagos and all the skyscrapers within it were built with the money from oil sales gotten from the same place they arr calling shanties today

South south people una sorry oh tilumbu don carry una handicap ♿️

Tinubu did not get enough votes to win. He was rigged in by INEC

Jestin:
How we keep making the mistakes of voting worse leaders beat my imagination

Call it off totally. There are over 1.5 billion single women on earth, don't choose a bad wife.

PrayWills:
Our court wedding was supposed to be on Friday. I caught her telling a married man I love you and calling each other all sweet names. I confronted her and she said she was telling of proving to me she was faithful that I should draw whatever conclusions I wanted to.

I went to work on Monday and came back and told her I wanted to pause the weeding until we could sort our issues and she said we should call it off totally.

As we speak she has moved back to her mom’s house with the two kids, what do I do?

PS: she was raised by a single mom

Shame!

AnambraPikinSel:
E concern you? He informed us Nigerians

Yes!

Godfullsam:
Is there any lie in what he said about peter obi?

Rest!

designking:
Those saying 0.5% is the same thing as 0.005% are illiterates.

Back to bedlam

Where did he inform Nigerians?

AnambraPikinSel:
Yes he informed Nigerians,you didn't know because you are biafran and not Nigerian.
