Let's be honest, common man cannot feel impact of crude oil, because Nigeria is not producing, and has never produced the amount of crude that we need to give everybody a good life.

(Note that I did not say that there is no corruption or that government is good, and that tinubu na good leader, so don't go there).

Income from crude is not even enough to provide for one to three states. And yet, that's where 80% of our income comes from.

Even if Nigeria goes up to 10million bpd , it won't improve our life much

The thing that sane nations with saner climes have is a diversified industrial economy that works and a massive tax system that pays into the welfare system, among other things. Countries that rely only on oil, like Saudi and Bahrain and Qatar, can afford to do so because their populations are tiny, and they run the risk of becoming broke if oil prices crash.

Where all your governments have been failing is that they have not developed a diversified industrial exporting economy for Nigeria. Especially APC which promised that in 2015, and has not effing delivered, which is why tinubu is weak

Instead, everyone has been following Awo's lead. Sell raw materials and share money, which leads to a situation where the money would never be enough and where stealing happens at the highest level because the closer one is to where the sharing happens is wheere stealing happens.

And even if there is no stealing, oil revenue, before we start talking about allocating money, is not up to 150 billion dollars...and most of the time it is below 100 dollars. Nigeria needs something like at least 500 billion dollars revenue for budget issues and so forth.

But since governments no dey wan make us like serious nations, here we are.

What is this one saying?

A wheelbarrow pusher contesting for a post he's not qualified for is the one thats fraudulent to begin with….
But as a normal nigeria that has fraud in his DNA it is not surprising at all that u are calling the person trying to correct the injustice of fraud the fraudulent person……

U cannot give what you dont have… a fraudulent wheelbarrow contestant will rig, snatch ballot, rob nigerians of their comment wealth, and of course rewrite laws to make certificate forgers get away with fraud…… but sadly u see nothing wrong with this….

The president should reconsider that location. Sokoto isn't the best place for him. If you know you know...

Aiding and abetting

Abeg remove wole soyinka from their. He won an ward when all african writers boycott the same award just to make a stance.. is that not betrayal? He become popular for wining a boycotted award and starting that Cult group.

Good question my friend. I don't know the yardstick for measuring the "better" you opined here but if going by the antecedents of the three individuals mentioned above each has different selling points.

They have all tested power and profited immensely from it. Coming down to Tinubu and obi. If I am to choose on the basis of performance while in office, I will choose Tinubu and if I am to choose by emotional sentiment fueled by marginalisation I will choose obi.


On choosing Tinubu, you can see the handwriting everywhere. He did do much while in office, he set the pace for continuity, he assembled proteges of like minds to ensure things keep running after him.

On obi, while in office, he didn't do much, he never thought of tomorrow not to talk of continuity. He went in hurriedly and left hurriedly and damned what happened next.

Age wise, the numbers may no be on Tinubu's favour but you can't vanquished his experience and his meticulous approach to governance.

Age is definitely on obi's side but the records and history are not just there.

On corruption, both managed themselves very well by available facts not speculations.

So, if I am to answer that question I will say Tinubu is far better.

His political dynasty alone speaks volume of a fine candidate he Is
