50m jobs.They've started again . Same Tinubu said in a campaign for buhari in 2015 that 3m jobs would be generated annually. How their lies keep getting some gullible minds still baffles me

APOPTOSIS:
America never forgives.
Avoid Crime at all cost.
It's truly a land of opportunities.
That's one country I know where someone can walk in with an empty wallet, a bottle of groundnuts and torn clothes and leave with genuinely acquired wealth.

Just avoid Crime and keep raking the money gradually. It may seem tough at the beginning, of which such is expected for any country but you must surely smile in the end. What I made in America in one year was more than what I made in Nigeria after 10 years of working in the Federal civil service. So pathetic Ogaaa.
I pray you recover from this mental distortion.

2 Things God will surely tell u to avoid in the U.S.
1st...Avoid Bad women @ all cost ( If possible all ladies)
Finally......Avoid Bad Company and Crime.
Thereafter, watch yourself glow with pride...

You can say that again. The opportunity I brought back home has changed my story forever but not everyone could be as determined as i was, especially after seeing and enjoying those good environment and amenities staring you in the face. No be my papa build am, so why can't I also build mine? That was always the thought I had while in America.

You can still make, even much more than that, if you can look inwards and tap any unexplored opportunity over there, then bring it back home. America is a land of opportunities but Nigeria is an earthly paradise and an unsaturated environment. This is a fact those Chinese and Indians who came with a briefcase and a pair of shoes but later became multimillionaire in dollars within a short time wouldn't want you to know about. As our people are japaing, they're thronging Nigeria in droves. We're not seeing what they're seeing obviously.

There's money here, legit. Like I've always told people who are dying over a political appointment, its because they're not busy. Lazy people go into politics.

This guy pretended not to be aware of the number of babies who died in university of port harcourt teaching hospital last year due to power outage. Nigeria's problem pas Niger own. Leave them alone and tell our leaders to solve our internal wahala first.

Revolva:
Pls explain well , so she took the luggages that have eja ( cocain inside ) and passed thru Dallas airport ....or wat and not getting caught

Nope, the maid detected it in lagos, when trying to push the package inside my friend's sister's luggage. She realised the package was too big so she went and looked for a knife to cut the package and split it into two so she could put half of the package into each of the 2 luggage, which the sister was to travel with.

Meanwhile, the wicked woman had said the package her friend was to bring for her in America was dry fish so, the sister instructed the maid to find a way of putting the package inside her luggage since it was dry fish and a whole package could not enter the luggage. As the maid was trying to use knife to cut the package wrapped in nylon into 2, the knife pierced one of the covertly packed fishes inside and a powdery substance was seen coming out. This caught the attention of the maid and informed the sister. She was shocked. She didn't tell the receiver who's a friend of hers in the US. She now did a video recording of it as evidence before departing to the US. They now discarded the package while in lagos

Hope its clear now

God saved my friend's sister in 2017. She'd have been eating beans by now. Someone who's been American citizen since age 24 after traveling on a study visa and worked a few years before bagging this. Her long term friend who lives in America wanted to kobalaise her.
I won't mention her.

It was the maid who tried checking the package that discovered this, it was concealed inside dried eja ęro, numbering about 50 pcs and wrapped with black nylon. She actually wanted to force it inside the luggage. Having realised that it wasn't working, she then decided to split it to 2 and put each half inside 2 different luggage. Then something like powder started gushing out. It was cocaine my people. The maid now called on the woman to come and see what she's seeing. The woman was in a rude shock. She now called people at home in lagos to come and see something, now made a short video of it to be shown to the devilish friend and everyone when she gets to America.
My friend's sister pretended as if nothing happened. This wicked woman kept calling her from MMIA, till they arrived in Dalas FW. When they arrived, she was very happy and led her home from the airport. Meanwhile my friend's sister had called everyone she knew and informed them ahead. she told all of them to meet her at home.

As soon as she got home, she descended on her friend and played the video of the cocaine recorded while in lagos to everyone. See this eleriibu begging , blaming the devil. If America no pay you, is it by force to remain there or implicate people to live? Since I heard this, I no dey doo nice guy again. Even from USA I no dey collect. I also monitor my luggage everywhere I go. Nigeria is now a land of drugs and would soon overtake Mexico if care isn't taken. Bad leadership is finishing this great nation. When the leader is bad, what do you expect from the followers?

Most of them even do drugs codedly. Those who don't do drugs among them are yahoo daddies. I remember that Aide to Gov Dapo Abiodun who would have become an unopposed federal lawmaker today, now eating beans in America cos he defrauded the country to the tune of millions of dollars. These are the calibre of people we have at the helms of affairs whom you and I are seeing as leaders.

trutharena:
You can clearly see Bola A which means that his last name was misspelt.

He is not the only one. Check the below guy for example, which name is called ADUQDA? You can see it was a mistake on the name too. They sometimes butcher African names in USA wella.

I wonder why my name wasn't butchered op

Calabar1stSon:
A country without a rule of law. Nigeria should be sold to Netflix.

She actually made a few seconds publicity on channelstv last night, saying she has a right to contest as minister, while serving as a corper and she's not committed any offence, doing so. Maybe some lawyers have called her to order after millions of Nigerians had watched the press release last night during newshour.

If the judiciary isn't careful, a lot of bad precedence will be set in this administration for generations to come and nobody will undo them. You know when you make references in the court of law...in the case of so and so and so, in the year so and so...it becomes a reference for generations to come and that is dangerous to our democracy and future of Nigeria.

georgeakins:
Obi go contest tire.
He cannot be president except in biafla

Did you read my post at all? Are we still in election period?

Mynd44:
The only reason ECOWAS has not invaded yet is because Aso Rock is holding back. Left to everyone else, those coup plotters will have ran out of the country.

But as more time passes, Aso Rock might not be able to stall. The coup plotters should leave

Are you saying they should leave their country for sweeping corruption off their land? Ecowas is a voluntary organisation. It has no power over any souvereign state. Its just like saying ecowas should have invaded Nigeria and sent buhari away in the 80s after that coup. 90% of Nigerien are in support of the coup. I had shared the response of my friend in that country here before and I'd share it again so you'd understand what's going on there.

All we hear about Niger is sheer propaganda. I won't be surprised tomorrow if they say the juntas have started raping their women. It's high time Africans freed themselves from the western bondage. I heard Biden invited tinubu and said he's the only aftrican leader he'd like to meet with. It's cos of Niger coup. Meanwhile when boko haram were slaughtering our people, they looked the other way. But because of their interest in Niger, they suddenly remembered Nigeria cos they see Putin's body language in Niger as a threat to them and their allies like France.

Tinubu should just apply wisdom to the matter cos we're yet to come to terms with boko haram war on Nigeria after a decade. Encroachment on a souvereign state like Nigeria will incite the anger of a region in Nigeria and their African allies. Are you aware that our gas pipeline to europe is pasding through niger ? That's a good reason we must be more careful and apply the old proverb of running with the hares and hunting with the haunds Enough said.

WHAT A BIG LIE.WITH SEXUAL IMMORALITY EVERYWHERE.THEY SAID BOTH MEN AND WOMEN THERE FLIRT A LOT.SNATCHING WIVES RAMPANT.THEN YOU WANT AL JANNAH.THEY ALSO LIKE HERBS AND CONCOTIONS ADDED TO ISLAMIC HANTU.

The song I composed was nothing but mockery . That town is full of evil and immorality my broda

itsme01:
Tinubu is a President not a magician

Same thing you guys said about buhari and he ran Nigeria aground before he left. Una no dey tayaaa? , SMH!

My heart bled when over 26 solders were killed by boko haram, aka bandits in Niger state nearly 3 weeks ago with a crashed jet and another 3 in Borno, which was only aired on aljazeera. What did tinubu do? He only said he was shocked and moved on, just like buhari did in 8 years after lives of Nigerians were cut short in thousands.

A good leader won't only feel shocked and commiserate, he takes decisive actions.

Throwback:
Even my siblings and cousins born in the late 1970s ate indomie in the mid 1990s when they were in the university and also at home.

So they all drank Gold Spot, Limca, and Tandi Guarana up to the 1990s just as us who were born in the 1980s.

So if those born in the late 1970s still ate Indomie and Maggi 2-minute Noodles as teenagers in the mid 1990s to qualify as Indomie generation also, what then is the need for these incessant questions over the years about Indomie generation not knowing things that existed in the 1980s or 1990s when those born in the 1970s also qualify as indomie generation as I have proven.

Indomie entered Nigeria in the late 80s, not 70s . Indomie generation started from from late 80s to date.

What we used to have in the 70s was maggi 2 minute Noodles, not indomie noodles. Take note of the word indomie

Even Crush, Krest and DrPepper, the indomie generations don't know. Dr Pepper still sells in some parts of America and Europe as I speak, in bottles and cans. I saw one in Switzerland in 2017

Lol. In Peter Obi's words...those stealing our crude are government officials who connived with some criminal elements from the foreign land.
These people aren't ghosts. With constant aerial surveillance, they'd get them but our government isn't ready yet. They know those criminals among them, but still chasing shadows

The spiritual implications of engaging in this dirty stuff is unexplainable. The devil has destroyed many lives through immoral acts.

Your suffering from this sickness but you are the captain of your team

.

The north generally used to be a great region to serve. Na insecurity dabaru everything. My concern is their PPA after camping cos they'd spread them like bees to all over the state. Not even 1m naira would encourage my relation to stay in Borno to serve. People don't learn from the past. Life has got no duplicate.

Good luck to them

vannessa7:
Thanks for taking the time out to write such long text to reply me.
From your write up I got the impression that you think Islam is wrong and I am on the wrong path and I need to retrace my steps. Haven been a committed Christian for close to 20 years and now a committed Muslim for 7years don't you think I should be the one in the position to know the difference between Christianity and Islam more than someone who has only practice Christianity all their lives,
There is God in Islam mightily, I know because I have had my senses exercised by reason of use. To many christians I have left God but to me I know I moved even closer to God. I will never ever go back to Christianity again insha Allah, thanks.

It's needless to start explaining to you how deep I used to be in Islam and my background before Christ found me. It's never been same experience ever since. My family from the maternal side once ruled Lagos.

It's your choice dear. Take care.

Vinnie2000:
Maybe Druggie attended.🙁

But, Yekini Amoda Ogunlere is the name he used, then!

Don't mind him. Was he not same man Keyamo was shamelessly defending, a supposedly experienced lawyer and SAN for that matter, despite all the primary schools tinubu claimed to have attende? How keyamo was able to defend his lies that, in Tinubu's time, he never attended any primary school as he studied at home...despite his principal claimed in 1999 that he attended primary schools even without a trace is unbelievable.

These guys aren't wise at all. Any information put in the public domain can't be erased. That's why everyone must be careful what he or she writes at any given time cos same could either make or mar your future. I'm waiting for how judiciary will manage all.these lies in their verdict.

ochejoseph:
Those in the lab trying to manufacture 9 technicalities should stop wasting their time Tinubu should prepare to vacate the seat he is illegally occupying

I'm not even bothered about all the mess tinubu had put up in his political career. What bothers me is the bad precedence, which the judiciary who keeps defending him have set for generations to come.

If the bayelsa apc gubernatorial candidate could be guilty of same confusing names on his certificates, I don't see any reason Tinubu shouldn't also be whipped by same judiciary with their verdict.

My aunt attended the same children home school , located at police post, molete area in ibadan, just a stone's throw ftom St. Anne's cathedral where the likes of late chief Bola Ige were worshipping when he was alive. His son still attends that church till date. My aunt said there was no record of Tinubu in her alma mater. Even mama ogunlesi who founded the school wouldn't recall tinubu attending her school before her death in 2002

God bless the Indian leaders who allowed these batches to go. India has remained relatively peaceful since they left with their madness to form Pakistan

descartes400:
The country we trade with the most.

Nigeria should implement currency swap deals with China, Dubai, and India...we should trade less with western currencies.

Don't you know the value of rupees? For naira to trade across the borders, it has to be strong in value. Between 2011 and 2017, I was spending naira in cotonou to buy items. I can't do so anymore..cefa has overtaken naira in value. I still can't fathom how naira became so worthless in less than 1 decade. I don't get it.

Don't tell me it's becasue we import more and export less..we've always been importing more and exporting less even when obj, yaradua and Jonathan were in power, yet naira was so strong back then.

What has changed?

Bad economic policies
Bad leadership
Insecurity
Massive , yes...massive corruption.

Imagine just one accountant general stealing over 100bn naira under the apc's nose? That money was what the whole of the academic body called ASUU nationwide was asking for oo, to improve our university education. There are likes of the accountant general walking freely today after stealing hundreds of billions. When we're ready to free ourselves from their shackles, we'd stop defending their madness

Wise people. Indian currency is still way higher in value than the NGN. Maybe one day, cefa too will be used by African countries to purchase petroleum products as cefa has now become more valuable than the naira. Our leaders are so wicked. They keep deceiving their gullible followers that our naira has become so worthless because we mainly import, as if we've never been an import-dependent nation when obj, yaradua and Jonathan were in government yet, our naira was so strong.

Everyone go wise up one day when they're tired of being deceived.

The same certificate error with different names that disqualified the bayelsa state governorship candidate, which gave Duoye Diri of the PDP, who came second to become governor that year...if the court should jettison this, then the judiciary is truly biased towards the elites in the society and a bad precedent will be set for the future of judiciary in Nigeria.

vannessa7:
I felt compelled to write this after observing the online tussle between Muslim's and Christians here on Nairaland about who is right or wrong.

I always like digging the profile of whom I'm engaging in a conversation on NL to see if I should respond to their mentions or not, given their contributions to pertinent issues here . I stumbled on this with great awe and interest.

My dear sister, you've already made your choice and it's my prayer that the choice doesn't end up hurting you. You're a vessel of God, whom He would have used a great deal but , for obvious reasons... your quest for a husband...you abandoned the path of salvation. I'd not judge you.

However, I have a few things to drop here. The bible says we would face tribulations in this world but we should be of good cheer...you can complete the rest This life isn't a bed of roses to those whom God is going to eelevate or use in life. You've got to face hard times and trials. You didn't wait for God's time obviously. I married my wife when she was 30 years of age and still a virgin. She's just a replica of you, in description as regards her experience and level of faith. God had revealed to her about me before we finally met. she patiently waited
Shebi your sickness was typhoid,maybe with malaria. My wife was asthmatic but God healed her. It was hereditary. Of all my children, only one picked it. As I was praying during a vigil, the Lord told me that, the sickness was hereditary but he had healed my son completely. I was overjoyed. I was thanking God. Since then, no sign of asthma was on him.

We got married in a single room apartment and started our life journey together. Today, to God be the glory. We've gone through the thick and thin together. The only thing we don't have yet, which I believe if its God's wish, we'd surely get is a private jet. By the time you mention 10 people who are in my line of business in Nigeria today, you must mention my name. I dine and wine with world leaders and diplomats, including Barak Obama. I remember the first time I met him in a hall near the white house in DC. No child of senator , governor or president from Nigeria was there present, I was the only Nigerian in attendance.

Concerning your predicament, every problem has an expiring date , to a child of God who endures till the end. There was a lady here whose name I won't mention who was in your shoes. Today, she's totally free. Her life was in disarray, she was even mocked by another faith for being a Christian. She always had bad dreams and her life was in shambles. She was afflicted with a terrible infection. She always saw herself eating in a dream with strange people, despite how committed she was as a xtian. She's been to several churches, no solution. I picked interest in her case here and replied to her post. She almost ended it. She never believed it when I told her to call a true man of God ( pls I'm not asking you call anyone, neither am I introducing anyone to anybody) . When she said she's been to several churches, I told her, you don't even need to see this man face to face, he'd only tell you the source and cause of your life problem in phone and all you need do is follow his instructions which is fasting and prayer on those key issues so, she was convinced when i said this. In short, she was asked to fast for 7 days, only in a gathering where only women were praying...she was able to locate one on a prayer mountain. On the 3rd day, she said she was pressed and when defecating, she discovered it wasn't faeces but a hard stone. She was scared. She also said she saw a revelation that those chasing her told her they've turned back and wouldn't chase her anymore. Since that time, her life was totally restored.

It's my sincere prayer that you are able to retrace your path. It's not necessary judging you like so many here had done. Only God can handle that.

vannessa7:
Aaamin, actually one of my bias for Tinubu is spiritual revelations I had, I don't know why but if we had missed him Nigeria will be in trouble, during the election period I had a revelation that he is the best and he must win or else we will be in trouble, I'm also waiting for two years. Peace.

Oh well, I don't want to dwell much on Tinubu's victory at the election but, that he's the only qualified candidate among over 200m Nigeria isn't a statement of fact. He only craved for power, that's all. He's aim was to fulfill his lifetime ambition. You and I knew how he got there bribing every delegate and co-candidates. I don't believe he's God's choice for us. Righteousness exalts a nation. That's what the Lord says.

It would have been better if he had presented Fashola instead. Osinbajo which many were advocating for at some point would have been so weak to rule a very difficult people like Nigerians. But for obvious reasons, he jettisoned fashola. Fashola that I know wouldn't have toed his path rather , he'd have given his all, in the development of Nigeria, given his antecedents in Lagos and as minister. He's the only minister who performed well under buhari. I remember when Tinubu wanted ti remove him during husb3nd term bid. We dared him in Lagos. Had he not softpedalled. Fashola is more qualified. Age is still in his side too. He's a no nonsense man

vannessa7:
Thanks for your intellectual write up there, on your first point, we don't have to replace multinational that are leaving but make do with what we have, take alabunkun instead of Panadol, patronize our local alternatives which are always available but small scale because of competition with foreign firms, but if we start patronizing them they will grow because they will have more fund to expand their operation and employ more staff. If Nigeria will only import what we cannot produce or don't have comparative advantage to produce we will be better for it.
It is true that our leadership are not very competent but if we all are patriotic and really focus on the good of this nation instead of always looking outside and comparing Nigeria to a nation that is 247 years old and we jettison sentiments we will know that there is a price to pay for development and support Tinubu s government for at least two years before we start complaining, he is the most qualified to help Nigeria out of the 3 of them and he has a precedent which shows he can do it, let's give him time.

You said government did not help local industries but that is not true, last year here during Buhari tenure many people received federal government CBN loan, my husband benefited from it and we actually have their officials visit our house and interviewed us, I know many people that benefited, it wasn't small money, right now they are giving agricultural loans. Those expensive raw materials you talked about and the high forex rates are some of the things we will endure if we want to have a better country in the long run, I have thought about the alternatives and it's not sensible, Nigeria subsidizing fuel for other countries and to make some few people richer while we are using debt to pay the subsidy, subsidizing dollar which enable round tripping by banks while the citizens bear the brunt and the banks get richer.

People are actually into agriculture more now , they are growing cocoa and exporting it too, I know because agriculture is one of my interests apart from the fact that I have inlaws in cocoa farming. Google is your friend,

The federal government isn't helping the local industries, I maintain. On agriculture, I have a friend who's one of the directors at IITA in ibadan. There are improved and better yields of crops but they rarely see farmers. The few who come to them always complain that the fed govt aren't helping out on granting loans. Check most of the beneficiaries of the so called agriculture loans. They're either former governors or politicians or serving ones who are doing commercial farming. Except up north where emeifele tried to grant some cbn backed agric loans, which witnessed a lot of criticisms for being biased and favoring a particular tribe and region. This is the real sector where the fed govt can actually invest in, hugely and get great returns Farmers aren't being empowered. Cocoa isn't regrown down south.

If we had a caring leader, the unemployed graduates can actually be empowered to obtain agriculture loans with close supervision as done in the past. But its not happening anymore. How many Nigerians have benefited from BOI loans in 5 years or more? They're countable.

I never compared Nigeria to any country who is 247 years old. There are countries who got independence same time as ours but are far ahead of us today. Time won't permit me to mention names.

The below need to be imbibed by any sensible leader who truly wishes Nigeria well:

1-kill corruption and reduce cost of governance, starting from the NA who are mostly ex governors.

2-Review our constitution to capture the grey areas.

3- Make the LG truly autonomous. Let them be and allow them run their government.

4-Kill insecurity or there won't be enough food forever. Farmers had been sent packing by bandits.

5-Create an enabling environment, grant loans to upcoming young farmers, not those influential politicians who would end up doing little or nothing with it. I visited Gen Tukur Buratai snake farm and was like...are we eating snakes in Nigeria and of what benefit will this be to the common man? Its in Nasarawa state. There must be close monitoring on that loan. You can imagine the federal government channeling such loans through state governors. What do you think would happen in the long run?

6-Building a robust economy and stop chasing shadows.

Are you aware we had rulers since the return of democracy in 1999 up to 2015? What has changed? We have always been an import-dependent nation since the return of democracy and our economy was well run. Obasanjo met crude at barely 30usd a barrel and naira never depreciated. He built our foreign reserves and we had a robust economy by employed qualified personnel. He went as far as appointing his AG ftom the opposition party. Obj remains a true Nigerian leader. The result of choosing the best was there to sho after he left office. Yaradua came and we fared much better. Unfortunately, he couldn't live long. Jonathan came and things were fine too. Our economy was so strong.

Whereas, the group who had been in power since 2015 on the platform of change, who got power eventually, via propaganda after serving as an opposition since 1999 and later messed things up. You know how much 1 dollar is today and what it was in 2015. They said Jonathan experienced oil boom so he was able to do so much and he didn't also do enough. For over 6 months , crude had been selling well and volume had been good. Yet, naira keeps falling yakata. Don't forget we were importing when the past governments before the apc came and were still importing and feeding on foreign goods till today. That's not an excuse for the fall of naira, not even the subsidy removed. His policy isn't just good at all.

I will come back to you in the next 2 years and remind you of today, God sparing our lives. I hope you'd not say 2 years is too early to judge Tinubu, same way we said we should be patient with buhari and he almost ran Nigeria aground. God bless Nigeria.

A peck would have been better. At times when celebrating victory, try and know your boundaries. It's same as driving roughly and crashing your car when your club or country has won a major tournament or shouting gooooal, and then collapse suddenly and fall to the ground.

vannessa7:
It will still come down, local industries will fill in the gap with whatever they are making, it's not forever, Nigeria has been destroyed for too long by romancing only foreign stuffs, they repatrait our money to their country, if there is no Panadol, people will buy alabunkun or paracetamol or karaole, Bata industry closed down because of foreign shoes, many people lost their jobs, even those foreign companies that came to establish here are taking their profits to their home office abroad and it's Nigerian money, we don't spend dollars in Nigeria, if we buy our local goods more our industries will grow and things will become cheaper, this is macro economics not even micro, Tinubu knows what he is doing, igbos be patient! You people started the destruction of our economy with massive importation causing unemployment because the Nigerian guy producing shoe and bags is chased out of business because people are buying imported shoes, it's okay to have influx of foreign companies for employment but if they leave, we will have entrepreneurs, because demand will make local industries to spring up. Think

I'm a realistic being dear. I don't dwell on emotions. Tell me realistically, which local industries wouid replace the multinationals who are leaving us?

When last had the federal government empowered innovative Nigerians? They don't even see them, talk less of assisting them. These are the ones who would have replaced them. But they're busy chasing how much they can steal. Our polytechnics have become a shadow of themselves. The purpose for which the institution was set up had long been defeated. Remember universities don't earn anything from the federal government on research work sponsorship anymore. Most lecturers use their own funds.

That's not all, at a time, cocoa contributed immensely to our GDP, cotton and ground nuts too. Who grows them nowadays? What had changed to the regime who came under the slogan of change? Has there been any encouragement from the FG on farming? No! The few who still do farming have been chased off by boko haram fighters, a.k.a armed bandits or militia men. They came in 2015 that they'd nip insecurity in the bud. You and I know its all lies today. 3 weeks ago, we still lost nearly 30 soldiers. With their promise, by now, we shouldn't be hearing such bad news anymore. Soldiers were killed in less than 2 month ago in Borno but it was only on aljazeera I heard about it. They've silenced the few local media who used to burst their bubbles by reporting their hidden secrets.

You may be right when you said people were importing to discourage local industries from thriving but here's afact...even the celebrated economies today also import massively to support local production. South africa , the 2nd largest economy in Africa imports much more than Nigeria does. They only had gold
as foreign exchabge earnings. We export more than crude here. Everything boils down to the fed govt policies. Our leaders are super corrupt.

See the acctant general who singly stole over 100bn under the apc regime? You can't pretend to be promoting local industries,when you don't make the enabling environment available. As a local manufacturer, I'd still need to order some materials to produce the local ones. Dangote needs some chemical to be added to those limestone he's extracting to produce cement or do people think the only component of cement we use is the limestone? He'd buy fx at 920 naira too like we do, to buy those materials. You don't expect him to sell cheaper than the imported cement. Think about it. Poultry farmers are packing up in droves cos feeds and foreign marerials used are very expensive due to the free fall of the naira. Who bears the brunt? The masses! Imported chicken is now cheaper than the ones grown locally. Too bad!

Tinubu may not be the cause of all these but he must change his policies fast. Its killing our economy. His party caused this mess since 2015 he should stop chasing shadows. I voted buhari in 2015 but later changed my mind and stopped supporting him. I thought he was the brain behind the magic of the 80s which i witnessed briefly, but I was wrong.

Except the policy is reversed, more multinationals would go. After all, no be today dem dey go Ghana. They're not father Xmas, remember.

Leadership is by calling, not by snatching or stealing power. Tell them

They said local industries must be encouraged, so they can boost our GDP and promote export. The same fake economists have suddenly forgotten that , raw materials from abroad are needed to produce many goods locally. How can I import my raw materials at 906 naira to a dollar and I'd sell at a loss? Its just not possible. This is the reality everyone must know, including those supporting the apc's polices

We got our first colour TV in 1979. Previously we used a gigantic black and white TV. We still had that gigantic black and white TV till 1993 (we used it whenever the colour TVs were not working).

In 1985 my dad travelled to Japan and they gave him a gift of a TV set. That's the first TV set that we had that had a digital tuner. Previously the TV sets were tuned with dials, one for VHF and one for UHF.

Your family must be among the 20% populace who had a coloured TV in the 80s and this percentage was concentrated in the cities. Even the black and white used to be at selected houses then. I remember people coming to our house to watch football cos they didn't have a TV in their homes.
