Though South Africa is still far ahead in terms of Market Capitalization, Nigeria's market capitalization has consistently gone up since 1999.

Since this growth doesn't level up with the reality of Nigerians who have become more impoverished, this tells you that NIgeria is not broke, never has been broke, the money is simply siphoned by a few people who put it on the stock market

This is why Tinubu has to go for a leader like Peter Obi who can fight corruption and invest the commonwealth in the places that matter

Nigeria was indeed broke, oil importation was extremely expensive but we didn't mind subsidizing all of our neighbors through subsidy.
The economy is just being readjusted.
God bless Tinubu for having the courage to end that monumental wastage.

What is wonderful about a Stockholm syndrome comment that shifts responsibility from governments to employ well paid workers to provide services and utilities that make the economy grow



https://www.nairaland.com/post/125340351

APC is truly All Promises Cancelled.

Government to employ 250 million Nigerians? No, the job of the government is to provide the enabling environment for the private sector to create jobs and get millions of Nigerians employed.

Image123:
If this bond open for two weeks now, e go oversubscribe. But we go deceive ourselves say people no get money, say Tinubu don impoverish everybody.
No work smart, let influencers and politicians dey use your destiny play X and O.

God bless you for this wonderful comment.

franugo:
Let's be logical here, even if you support APC or Tinubu, surely you can be logical at intervals.... surely.
Now the survivor has told us what happened the day they were released, keyword being RELEASED . From the story given, the kidnappers were obviously in no rush to let them go, at no point in the story did it feel like they were under any pressure by the Nigerian military.

From the perspective of the person kidnapped it will appear as a if he was just released for no reason.

franugo:
Location of the terrorists was found but you didn't see any terrorist?

When you are dealing with people who could be ISIS they should release sensitive information to the media? Where is that done?

belikewater:
Please tell me then, I pray thee, how they got to know the individuals involved in the kidnapping talk less of their relatives?

How they got to know? Do you know why you need your NIN to get a phone number in Nigeria? Do you also know the criminals communicated by phone?
We do have people who can connect these dots as far fetched as it may seem to you.

Obidients are rabid Biafra centric goons, one of the reasons they cannot go anywhere no matter how hard they try.

He will not build power plants, steel plants, utilize our gigantic advantage in agriculture. He will not bring healthcare to most Nigerians but he will be busy renaming highways.
He, just like Obi is not going anywhere anyway.

Irresponsible journalism. What exactly is different from what the military said. Relatives of the terrorists were arrested, the location of the terrorists were found thereby forcing them to release their captives.
Where is the evidence that anything else happened?
Nigerian journalism is now competing with untrained bloggers.

SeverusSnape:
Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah. And Israel is their cure.

Only gangsters and criminal organizations are known to attack people at funerals.

Now who are the terrorists?

1nice:
What about renaming your family to jagabania?

I think it's cool.

Republic of Jagabania. Special funds will be made available for bitter who wish to emigrate.

1nice:
You can ask your father that question.

You don't need to expose your upbringing here.

Another question: How about Jagabania as the new name of the country?
I think it's cool.

Theatrics, that is what it is called.

Iran2025:
Tinubu is a failure. Well those name will be changed later in future.

Then we will change the name of the country to Jagabania to honor the most forward thinking president ever in the country.

Lol, comedy. Concerned Nigerians or confused Nigerians?

Isn't this the second time something like this would happen? I remember the girl who was lured with a job offer and she was later killed and buried by another psychopath like that.
Girls shouldn't trust strangers so much as to be with them alone anywhere they can't easily get help.
This is another sad reminder that there are some really bad people out there.

Helinuse:
This is a crime in the open:

"According to a Bloomberg report published on Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu approved new fiscal terms granting Shell and its partners a tax rebate of $11.50 for every barrel of crude oil produced from the project, more than double the standard incentive currently available under Nigeria's fiscal framework."


As Nigerian youths are busy throwing slogans like "school na scam" around and arguing that "education is not school and school is not important," their leaders are busy building a very massive corruption stream for themselves under very subtle frameworks that the uneducated cannot understand. So schemes like these have to be uncovered by a Bloomberg, not a Nigerian outfit, because we don't have the brains to sit and study.



Just as I finished typing my full comments, I knew some APC N30k WhatsApp group members would rush out to say it is just "an incentive to create jobs," etc. They are the same people who surely didn't bother reading. Nigerians don't like reading. .

Imagine a person stealing $5 per barrel for the whole life of a project (development, operation, and decommissioning). Now, for it to be twice beyond the threshold, it simply means that half of that amount is surely not going to the developers. Then who are they going to?.

Very pedestrian almost illiterate submission. You think $20 billion they are going to invest is guguru and epa or some money they owe you?

9jatriot:
Is the Lord not good?

Thank God for BAT.

He is always thinking long term development.

If it were that lamba king that was in power, the kind of discussions we would be having would be irrelevant things like: 'Aso rock kitchen wanted to give me rice with chicken, I told them to start using crayfish from now on to save cost', then his moob would have been telling us that we are making progress.

God forbid bad thing

I apologize, I was trying to quote someone else.

This is how he would have ruined the economy. This is what Nigeria avoided.

Ofunaofu:
Ordinarily, nobody should have a problem with calls to probe the Oriire kidnap saga. Yet here we are under a Tinubu administration that seems to treat accountability and transparency as threats rather than responsibilities.

How did we get here?

Why does the Tinubu administration object to Gov. Seyi's call for an independent international inquiry, involving the UN, into the Oriire kidnapping?

Even describing it as bizarre

What is there to fear from an impartial investigation?

If there is nothing to hide, why resist a transparent probe?

The prolonged ordeal those schoolchildren and teachers endured was horrific. They, their families, and the public deserve clear answers.

This is a dark chapter, and many Nigerians fear things could get even worse if this style of governance continues.

When are you black folks ever going to believe in your own ability to solve your own problems? UN to investigate a crime committed in Nigeria by Nigerians? And this is coming from a sitting governor, the same people you are supposed to trust with your life and property?
Damn!
Why don't you just hand over the country to UN so everyone will know you can’t lead yourself?

anonimi:


How do you learn not to repeat the errors of the past and reinforce the successes of the past without reminding yourself of them

By the way, do you read religious reference books such as the Bible and the Koran?

Your own attachment to the past is obviously pathological. How do I know? By the number of times people like you keep going back to Jonathan when the whole country is moving ahead.

anonimi:
You have just described the master strategist and his fellow demons of Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC when they were fighting for power, to grab and run with it to make Jonathan a one term president in favour of Buhari. The same Buhari he called expired four years earlier.

When you focus too much on the past it often leads to a cycle of nolstagic regret, and anxiety and sadness. It drains your mental energy and prevents you from engaging with the present.
You need to snap out of it.

RhemaJet7:
Financial Fortune is my heritage, I MUST be rich

It is by the special grace of God. But don't ever join those ignorant people who mock everything and have absolutely no imagination.

If the news is not one of gloom and doom they are never happy.
Even the happy rescue of school children from kidnappers became a source of sadness for them.

UN to investigate a crime commited in Nigeria? And this one is aspiring to be the president of Nigeria!

Can someone tell this dude that this is not about him?
I didn't realize he is so slow.

Mr. Adebayo is the one who is in for a big surprise. Nigerians can clearly see what the president is doing. Creating a country that works for everyone not just a few.

[quote author=WorkTheTalk post=139995611]Staged operation for the gullible.

"For seven years as Oyo State governor, we did not witness such an incident in my state. I declared to run for the presidency at 4 p.m., and by 9 a.m. the following morning, children were åbducted in Oyo State."

statement is blatantly false. I remember him giving a speech at Igangan after Fulani kidnapped and murdered people there.
What the hell is he talking about?

Gotocourt:
Iffahear, Tinubu paid money to save face

He paid money to arrest the kidnappers as well?

Like "Take this money so I can have you prosecuted and hanged "

Not a bad strategy actually.

GOFRONT:
Rescued by which of Security agencies exactly??

Shame on that security agency for sleeping on duty making the defence porous for the abductors to have a filled day in the first place!!!

Shame on DSS and Nig police

Meanwhile, these kids and teachers here looked Healthy and untraumatized to me........It looked like a staged kidnap to me where they were taken to a well arranged Hostel where there is adequate food supply, clean drinking water, they bathe well, Good Toilet for convenience,

Infact, I dont know how to trust Nigerian govt leadership!!!

The beheading was staged as well?

alanto:
Then discourage our elites from building hotels and bars and encourage them to start building factories. If you remove Indian and Chinese from our economy. We only have bars and hotels. Except for very few that builds factories.

God bless you. Even the bar and hotel owners are the brave ones. Many just want to import today and get their money back next week.
