This is not looking good for APC. If you don't have support of the white house, re-election go hard you.

Yes, just like Victor Orban.

Regardless of how terrorists die, it is alright by us.
Let them be struck by lightning or even the devil himself coming to kill them. It is alright by me.

He is absolutely right but this became a huge problem under his administration.
His wife even suggested some people were trying to sabotage his administration.

Parachoko:
Asiwaju dey give you Sleepless Night

She's in love with our president actually. She's obsessed.

helinues:
Almost all the reputable global financial institutions have upgraded Nigeria's s credit score with them.

Imagine with this information, how do you think you can relay this to a gala hawker and the person would be able to comprehend . ?

How then can you convince those people about the progress made so far by this government

The good thing is, we have secured where we are experiencing votes from, infact the election is over even when it's yet to be conducted as the opposition decided to be in pieces

The time is coming soon when they will not be able to deny that Tinubu's reforms are working.

dermmy:
Trump is indirectly telling Taiwan we won't come to your aid if you declare independence and China invades. America has learned from Iran.

Not even indirectly, I am sure the Taiwanese got the message.

emorse:
And by how much has his policies increased productivity almost for years on?

How long do you think it should take before you start to see results? Please answer as honestly as you can.

He is so worked up he couldn't tell the difference between "close" and "open".

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu came up with the policies that will take away the purchasing power of Nigerians so that when it's time for election, he will give them rice for election gains.

To tinubu, that's a strategy to win election but he has failed .


Useless president

What exactly is the anchor for your purchasing power? Subsidy or increase in productivity?

When you ingest adulterated alcoholic drinks anything is possible.

engrchykae:
did efcc throw tear inside ezu river

No, Obi feigned ignorance when serious crimes were being committed under his watch. He has zero moral authority to condemn people who threw tear gas when he basically supervised the killing of human beings.

Hangulsaram:
Is this suppose to be about Peter Obi or the sick patients at the hospital there, why is everything about politic and sentiment to you? Did the EFCC did the right thing, that should be the issue not Peter Obi

Easy for you to say because none of the people dumped in Ezu river was actually a human being.
You and your ilk are feigning outrage but no outrage whatsoever when human beings were actually tortured and killed.
What is wrong with your sense of judgment?
How is this not about obi? Under whose government were these killings carried out?

Strait of unintended consequences.

Obi is a mediocre politician no matter how much you try to dress him up in a garb way beyond his stature.

Hangulsaram:
Yes, maybe it will leave ur mind or you will forget it when such happened in a hospital where your family is admitted maybe then you will understand that this has nothing to do with Obi or politic.

"He who seeks equity must come with clean hands"

You cannot supervise James Nwafor and come here to complain about tear gas.
It is crazy hypocrisy, he should have been sent to prison as an accomplice.
You governed a state where your citizens were being killed and dumped in a river and you were completely oblivious to it?
That alone should tell us how grossly incompetent you were.

FSBoperator:
So we should forget about the most brutal acts of police extra judiciary mass murders that happened in this country that so happened to have been in Anambra under your Obi's reign of maladministration.

Same Ezu river massacre carried out by James Nwafor who your obi shielded .

Don't mind them, they think we all have one track minds like them. They don't even hide their hypocrisy anymore. They think everyone is a simpleton like themselves.

Ezu river is still very fresh in our memories.

Creating organ failure since 1914.

Vision101:
Bunkum. Lagos is being celebrated today. Some of the facilities are like what you get in advanced economies. The bulk of what was used to finance them were borrowed. The projects are paying back. The income from the blue line alone is massive. You have sever infrastructure deficit not attended to for so many years. Your income is very weak: very low oil production and tax. Therefore your choice is: wait until you can save and invest in infrastructure which will retard your growth or borrow and invest in future capital formation.

Dangote wouldn't have had the massive refinery without borrowing.

Don't mind them, everyone on the internet is now economic expert.

pato405:
Liesss! This is story is as fake as a plastic fruit. Big fat lie!

It is true. I don't understand why some of you argue against facts.

That is little compared with how Obi could not keep the Labour party together. How in the name of Hero beer is he supposed to keep 250 million conflicting interests together?

ghm:
Nigeria copied the endless presidential convoy of luxurious vehicles from the United States. But we should be copying the UK and EU instead.

In the UK, the Prime Minister moves with 2 cars maximum – sometimes driving himself. In the Netherlands, the PM rides a bicycle. Monarchs use a single vintage Rolls Royce or horse-drawn cart.

There is nothing wrong with a long convoy if you can produce those vehicles yourself and your citizens are well taken care of.

As a Yoruba proverb says: “Eni ti ko to gelete, ko kin nmi fin-in” – literally, “If you are not very huge, you don’t breathe heavily.”

Murtala tried that and we know how it ended. We will get there when the risk of violent change of leadership is no longer there.
As for the orange man he finally went to China to kiss the ring of the real Don.

KanwuliaExtra, how does it feel just talking to yourself?

.External Debt Reduction: Inherited roughly \(\$28\) billion–\(\$36\) billion in debt, mostly owed to the Paris Club. Through intense negotiations, this was reduced to about \(\$2.11\) billion by the end of his tenure.Paris Club Deal (2005): In October 2005, Nigeria reached a final agreement for a debt relief package worth \(\$18\) billion. Nigeria paid roughly \(\$12\) billion to clear the outstanding balance.Internal Debt Component: While external debt dropped significantly, internal debt did not see a substantial reduction, with some estimates suggesting a rise to around N\(2.17\) trillion during that period.Foreign Reserves: Upon leaving office in 2007, Obasanjo stated that his administration increased foreign reserves from \(\$3.7\) billion to \(\$45\) billion, along with an excess crude account of \(\$25\) billion.Context: The debt relief was seen as a major milestone, allowing Nigeria to exit its status as one of the world's most heavily indebted nations. No matter how you hate Obasanjo, one thing you can't deny is that he hated debt and he paid Nigeria's debt before he left office

Another thing you cannot deny is the sheer luck he had with high oil prices which made it possible for him to negotiate the pay off. It was never because he did anything to dramatically change anything.

CodeTemplar:
Go and offer your village king the job. Subsidy is different from provision of conducive environment for business.

No, it is not. Both are made to provide conducive environment for business. It is the application in the case of Nigeria that is very destructive to the economy and the country in general.

Well, at least we are beginning to see the reason for the virulent and illogical criticisms of the president.
It is just about grabbing power and not about Nigeria.

CodeTemplar:
You must be high on fluid.
Whonis asking for subsidy of power? Or water or security?

The only subsidy People like you care about is food like you are some refugees. If I offer you a job right now you will not take it. Always looking for corners and thinking of making it big without lifting a finger.

CodeTemplar:
Fake boasting to project growing system. Do you support them with power, water, security and ease of doing business as you should?

It is a case of passing off whatever is achieved privately as down to govt effort.

This actually is how economies are developed. If you expect government to build everything and subsidize it, I think Cuba is perhaps the only country for you now, not even Russia or China.
What you are witnessing is a resurgence of a more resilient and productive economy.

This government should be encouraged to do more in attracting big investors and providing the resources and infrastructure they need to succeed.

realG101:
Oga calm down, don't responde out of context.

Even a child knows tinubu has only been president for 3 years.

Obj was just trying to recount how regressive governance has been since he left. Just trying to make the point that tinubu too is a failure.

By the way, no one is saying tinubu did not inherit a bad economy. Yes, he did.

But is he repairing it or making it worse? That's the critical question.

We will not say because he inherited a bad economy, we should then be praising him for making it worse.

Tinubu is a big fraud of a president. He's camouflaging to be making policies to reposition the economy, but its a lie.

He is only sweeping the masses to feed the few. Their classic feudal system template.

Disprove my argument, tell me where all the savings from subsidy have gone too. You will say they gone to state govt. Is it not stealing in itself when you had money to know thieves that cannot be checked. What has happened to yahaya bello.

Again, all the ridiculous loans tinubu has taken, what have they done with those loans that is tangible?

Nothing is being done for the good of the country and you're here defending them.

You and your type are the people talking nonsense. How long do you think it took countries like China, Singapore and South Korea to turn around their economies? Three years?
You all need to calm down and stop looking at everything in terms of politics and what you can gain now.
Building a prosperous country is not without serious heavy lifting which many of the so called politicians are not willing to do.
They will rather pacify you with nonsense knowing you don't know any better.

zegxy:
Bro you are vomiting rubbish. All what you typed is bladderdash. Obasanjo seek debt forgiveness with madam Okonjo Iweala and all Nigeria's debts he met on ground were written off so why are you beating around the bush ?

Written off after paying $12 billion to get 18 billion written off.
If the 12 was invested in agriculture the entire debt would have been paid off by now and Nigeria would have been better for it.
All the folks on this thread crying of hunger would probably not be doing so.

China has all the cards. China without doubt is the most powerful country in the world today.
