[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?
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!!!
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.
omoredia: Invest in Nigeria and u will regret. Only bandits are having booming business
Nigeria is a great place to invest in. Let the government fix the power issues and security issues and many will not believe what Nigerians can actually do.
lordm: Chai. What happened to Nigeria's industrial era
Lack of power is one of the reasons factories like this cannot run profitably. A couple of years running at a loss will quickly kill the operation. A ceramic factory needs a massive energy requirement.
Thewrath: Why do you think my statement was out of emotion? No one said to underestimate the importance of roads,there are more pressing factors like increased life expectancy,cost of living,access to free or cheap health care systems,positive efforts towards insecurity etc just to mention a few,that actually measure growth and development than just roads..cost of living is there too…
Na who Dey alive Dey use road Na who don chop Dey use road Na who fit afford fuel Dey drive Na who fit afford transport fare Dey enter transport.
All these are important and they are not mutually exclusive to what the government is currently doing. There are new hospitals being built even right now. These things will need to be continued and sustained for people to start seeing and feeling the results. A road here doesn't translate to no hospital over there.
Thewrath: Economy in shambles and they are talking of scam roads….peope cannot even afford the cost of fuel and transportation to ply the so called dam roads!
Roads are indispensable in any modern economy. You cannot grow any meaningful economy with bad Roads. Criticize with logic not emotions.
thisisit: E BE LIKE SAY THOSE PETROLEUM CABALS 4 NIGERIA ARE FUELING THIS IRAN WAR SO AS TO KEEP THE PUMP PRICE OF PETROL ABOVE 1K PER LITRE FOR NIGERIA ....
This is what happens when when you take gradual and consistent steps forward. Over time it will amount to great development. A simple lesson some so called leaders are yet to grasp. We've heard some of them saying we will stop this and stop that rather than saying we will start this or that.
smallsmall: And How much Annual Tax have you been paying on that #2.5Million? Despite the #2.5Million, you still look Wretched. Despite the #2.5Million, you have not been able to grow your Corn-Seller Business and you are still by the Roadside! I pray you DONT get runover by a Truck. Stockholm Syndrome at Play.
This kind of fake stories is what you hear, from poverty-stricken people who are offered Money to indict themselves. In any sane Society, she will be forced to payback all owed \taxes or even go to Jail.
But ofcourse, this is just GOVT PROPAGANDA ON STEROID, using their Social Media Paid Influencers to spread lies.
She looks wretched? She's at work for goodness sake. You expect her to be draped in gold?
And you wonder why countries are looking for nuclear weapons. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Some people are still tempted to colonize others by force.
dgr8truth: not many people will make meaningful comment here because they don't know the implication of this mismanagement or corruption.
This revelation by the IMF exposes one of the biggest problems destroying the lives of ordinary Nigerians, a lack of transparency and accountability in government spending. When expenditures worth about 2% of GDP can happen outside proper budget records, it raises serious questions about how public funds are being managed by Tinubu government.
For the average Nigerian struggling with high food prices, unemployment, poor healthcare, bad roads, unreliable power supply, and rising costs of living, these are not just accounting errors — they represent opportunities lost. Every untracked naira could have been a classroom, a hospital, a road, support for small businesses, or relief for struggling families.
A government that demands sacrifice from citizens through subsidy removal, higher taxes, and economic reforms must also show discipline and honesty in how it manages public resources. Transparency cannot be optional.
This is why corruption remains deeply entrenched in this Tinubu system: billions can move through unclear channels like the gbajagate while ordinary Nigerians are asked to endure hardship in the name of economic reform and recovery. No nation can build trust when citizens feel the burden while those in power avoid accountability.
Nigeria does not lack resources; it suffers from poor management, waste, and a political culture where public money too often escapes proper scrutiny. Until accountability becomes stronger than corruption, ordinary Nigerians will continue to pay the price for the failures of leadership.
So, what exactly are these projects awarded or implemented outside of the budget? Did IMF mention any? Did government offer any explanation? No, none of these happened, just a bunch of unsubstantiated allegations.
[quote author=urchman3000 post=139919549][/quote]We are on the right trajectory obviously and if we sustain it the benefits you talked about will become more apparent and more widespread. The fact that we are producing and exporting more is something that Nigerians should be happy about.
While you are here trying to create a narrative. Only a mad person will try to stop the momentum already created in the economy. Who do you think in making money from these exports, Ghanians?
Trustyourself: If you say "come", a Yoruba child won't understand unless you say "wa"
How come they even got up to 51%?
I wonder o. Yet, when you hear of Nigerians doing wonders academically all over the world they are often Yoruba. Something is wrong with your 419 statistics.
when it is time to share juicy position, recruit for NNPC, DPR, CBN etc. they share it among themselves, but when police work comes out they start calling on the public to apply
Their weaponization of poverty is the problem here, if the economy were good, only those who loves to trade akara will do such jobs
our parents won't do it because that's the only option they have to survive
If you must know my wife is making millions of Naira today, she sold pure water as a child. There's dignity in labor. What the first lady was trying to convey is not taught in schools.
warrah: Where are your own piglets?? Abi you don't want to become rich?
Of course I do. But I am not wailing like you. I am doing something about it and I am seeing great results. I don't ask for handouts and wail all day long on the internet.
While Chinese youths are learning AI the wife of Nigerian President is telling us to start frying Akara business and corn roasting.
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, made headlines after a video surfaced of her advising citizens that starting small-scale businesses, such as frying akara (bean cakes), roasting corn, or making kuli-kuli (peanut snacks), does not require much capital.
One thing she didn't say is that you shouldn't go to school. The richest farmer in China is worth more than $15 billion dollars and he started with only 22 piglets. Someone like you will roast all of them saying you are it all because you were hungry.
