Is this one also Fulani? Are those names he's mentioning Fulani? This is part of why it's very difficult to believe stories of alleged killings and attacks by herdsmen. Again, where are the cows? Every other criminal have given their lives to Christ in pastor Eneche crusade or what?

Do you expect Obi to talk about the killings in the South East, no don't. It doesn't help his desperation or add any votes or sympathy to him. He doesn't care about the lives,just needs votes from other bases. Plus the boy mustn't challenge the monsters they created.

Another d.ic measuring contest fa. Na this statistics we wan chop? The $35 billion Ras El Hekma coastal development in 2024, led by Abu Dhabi’s ADQ, was a standout: it alone accounted for most of the USD 46 billion FDI inflows.
The Ras El Hekma coastal development project is a large-scale urban, tourism, and investment initiative aimed at transforming Egypt's North Coast into a major international destination. The project, a collaboration between Egypt and the UAE, involves developing a new city with residential areas, hotels, resorts, entertainment venues, and essential services on over 170 square kilometers.
Our Lagos Calabar coastal highway is 700 kilometers and about $10billion but the funding is not FOREIGN so will not be counted as FDI anyway.
Imagine if Nigeria wanted to do something great on 170 square kilometers, opposition will make all kinds of noise and say things like we should continue with what we have on ground.
When Tinubu's FDI results start coming in, hope people will not start having seizures like they do when we remind them of Lagos.

How does all you wrote above explain the low FDI if you claim the other sectors have overtaken oil as the main FDI contributor?

i explained already but i will try breaking it in bits incase you genuinely want to understand and for those that may read to understand. FDI is Foreign Direct Investment. It is an investment made by a company or individual from one country into a business or entity in another country. International oil companies (IOCs) like Shell, Total, and Chevron were the biggest contributors, they made up over 60% of the FDI then. Currently, local-led companies like Seplat, Oando, Heirs Holdings are the ones making investments in oil and gas so it is no more FOREIGN or FDI. The major percentage of foreign investments now come from tech and fintech. FOREIGN investment in oil and gas has shrunk, local investment has increased.

You just keep disgracing yourself. If the money is there why are we removing subsidy and devaluing the naira?

i said that the investment money is there but from local companies. Nigeria didn't have enough money to pay for both fuel and FX subsidies. We were borrowing to pay from everywhere. It's part of the debt that was the famous ways and means. We borrowed future crude oil production just to pay subsidy. The complaints have been on for many years with nobody to bell the cat. Every educated persons suggested the removals and every political party promised to remove it. Almost every increase in pump price was an attempted removal of subsidy by a little percentage. Because of the backlash that follows such increase, all the FGs since OBJ were afraid to remove it, only grumbling. It got to the point the previous FG didn't even budget for the payment but left it for the next FG to solve. Tinubu did it and i give kudos to him for having the political will to, regardless of the backlash.

Why has our GDP sunk so abysmally low?

Because of floatation which is calculated in dollars. It's actually an argument between six and half a dozen. To break it down, assuming Nigeria's total income (GDP deals with DOMESTIC product not foreign or international. That is goods and services in the country) is 120,000 naira and the exchange rate was 450/$, this is $266.67. As this 450/$ has now become about 1500/$, the same 120,000naira is now $80. The total income didn't reduce in naira/domestically. It reduced in dollars. Meaning if FG wants to increase the so called GDP this month, they'll just subsidize the dollar to 400/$ and this 120,000naira immediately becomes $300. Then we will all clap for Tinubu and worship at his feet for improving GDP. If you can see, this is just a d.ic measuring contest, nothing really changed or improved in this scenerio. Just some economists playing with numbers.

Why are we owing so much than any other time in our history and still posing to take more debts? Why is their high unemployment such that NBS has refused to release employment data since last year?
You are just exposing yourself further in these watery claims. Just admit you goofed and move on

Again, the debt depends on what you are looking at, whether naira or dollars. The good news for me though is not about whether the debts decreased or if you argue increased. The good news for me is that we are no longer accumulating debts for subsidies. Our debts are now tied to meaningful projects. It's another pot of fish about whether the monies will be embezzled.

🇳🇬NIGERIA'S DEBT — HALF-EMPTY OR HALF-FULL?

🔴HALF EMPTY
Jun 2023 — ₦87.38 trillion
Mar 2025 — ₦149.39 trillion
An increase of ₦62.01 trillion in 21 months, approximately 71% growth rate

🟢HALF FULL
Jun 2023 — $113.42 billion
Mar 2025 — $97.24 billion
A reduction of $16.18 billion in 21 months, approximately 14% drop.

One data, two perspectives!

So prices of commodities and GDP are emotional things? Well done.

You are the emotional and biased one referred to my dear, not commodities and GDP.

Kukutente23:
Your updated post is disgraceful and even indicts your party more

If over 60% inflow was due to oil and gas, when the inflow was around $5bn on average which means oil and gas inflow alone was $3bn then, how does it make sense that you are justifying oil and gas inflow falling to a paltry 6% when total FDI has slumped to $1bn on average which means oil and gas inflow has slumped drastically to a paltry $216m? Can you explain to any human with commonsense how that is something to rejoice about? Wouldn't it have made more sense if oil and gas stayed at $3.6bn and its FDI quota is 6%? Wouldn't that be something to celebrate? I wonder what they do to people's ability for logical reasoning and thinking in that APC

What is the relationship between a promise to spend 1 term and FDI growth? Na wa o

International oil companies (IOCs) like Shell, Total, and Chevron are divesting onshore assets. Growth in tech, fintech, and renewables has overtaken oil as FDI magnets. Much of today’s oil investments are:
Local-led (Seplat, Oando, Heirs Holdings), financed through debt or equity, not direct foreign inflows. The money is still there but it is not under FOREIGN investment. It is now local. Also, we are now exporting the products of oil and gas, not importing.
The relationship between your messiah's promise is that he and his people will try to tell the ignorant that things are bad and they will make them better.

DeepSight:
Your scripture says dont resist. You said that is your creed. Its simple.
Stop adding to it.

The Bible says don't resist. To resist is to oppose, and like i said that is my underpinning for decades. i don't resist the government, It's simple.
If a government however tells you to do something ungodly, like you tried bringing up names to water down the message. The same Bible is complete to show us what to do. Like i mentioned Daniel, i can also add Daniel's three Hebrew friends. These are our (christian/believer) examples. They didn't resist or oppose the government of the 'despot' that ruled over them and probably killed their parents and loved ones. But when he wanted to force them to disobey God, they didn't obey him. They were persecuted instead. Like Peter said, we obey God rather than men, it's a scale. The church prayed for Peter's deliverance and God fought for them against Herod. None of them went around criticizing and instigating people against the governments of Rome or Judea.

DeepSight:
What is wrong with simply looking at the GDP in 2015 and the GDP now.
And commodity prices in 2015 and commodity prices now?

No Brentton Woods here i guess, we only use these things when they support our bias.

DeepSight:
I have to conclude you may have adopted your stance on account of tribe.

i wonder what you'd conclude when i physically supported GEJ at the first, and later PMB.

DeepSight:
You are introducing your personal definition which the bible did not give.

Can i have your definition which the Bible gives? Is Daniel saying no idolatry a definition of your resist? Did Paul faithfully support Nero by praying for him?

This is a most foolish thing to say, i am thoroughly disappointed.

DeepSight:
You are contradicting yourself. You are saying effectively that you can rightly resist Hitler.

Probably you have a different meaning and idea of resist to what i clearly stated as resisting or forceful, hostile, takeover-like protests.

Kukutente23:
It does not favour APC as a party not just Tinubu
You APC folks want to force everyone to forget that you have been in power in 10years
Same clowns that used to shout 16years of PDP

check my updated post and update your knowledge.

Food has landed. No b statistics we go chop today as this number seems not to favour Tinubu. It's not fake stats dear Mansa6.
The numbers don't immediately tell you that over 60 to 75% of FDI then came from oil and gas, while today's FDI has just about 6 to 8% from oil and gas.
Why the change? International oil companies (IOCs) like Shell, Total, and Chevron are divesting onshore assets. Growth in tech, fintech, and renewables has overtaken oil as FDI magnets. Much of today’s oil investments are:
Local-led (Seplat, Oando, Heirs Holdings), financed through debt or equity, not direct foreign inflows.
This is the from consumption to production rhetoric being done already. Today we have trade surplus, not deficit. We're exporting more than importing.

Don't let any sorry opposition deceive you that they will do better. They are just like those boys promising a girl just the tip.

DeepSight:
No need for rigmarole.

So in short, if Hitler is your leader, don't resist. That simply means comply, cooperate, obey. Don't make any attempt to see him out of that position no matter how peaceful, don't do anything against his wish, don't resist even his evil commands. No be so?

No rigmarole, you said "faithfully supporting," i didn't say that. Christians don't wrestle against flesh and blood. You cooperate with any leader and Caesar as far as it doesn't involve sin as clearly stated in the Bible. We obey God rather than men. So if Hitler says there's a census, or election, or pay tax and utilities bill, you do so and pray for him. This is Bible. If he says go and steal, or fornicate, or worship idols, be a Daniel.

1Ti 2:1 KJV I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 KJV For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Ti 2:3 KJV For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

And all the numerous happy monogamous marriages have no men. Does this his ideology also apply for the biology of his wife and other women? Weak men making excuses for promiscuity and lack of self discipline.

DeepSight:
We are saying the same thing. So the God fearing should not resist such leaders?

No, you talked about "faithfully supporting," which is different from resisting. The God-fearing should be subject and, of course, not be involved in resisting or forceful, hostile, takeover-like protests.

DeepSight:
By this token, leaders such as Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mobutu, Abacha and all the worst leaders throughout history should have been faithfully supported by all God fearing people right?

Add Nero to the list. i didn't mention anything about faithful support. Read again.

Rom 13:1 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Rom 13:2 KJV Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

I am not Obi's fan but your comment is this too disgusting. What is your problem with the man that you must link every thread to him?

Obi becoming president of Nigeria is in GOD ALMIGHTY doing not with a mortal like us.

God Almighty will not curse Nigeria with him. God doesn't hate us that much. Affliction shall not arise again.

Se Obi no go come here so? This is his gifting and calling, not presidential ambition.

Stop supporting, electing and defending establshed rogues.

i learned recently to support a bad guy so that a worst and visionless guy would not come and finish me patapata. Election is a right, i choose the best out of the real contenders when opportuned. As for defense, i don't just attack for attack sake or condemn and oppose everything without a viable, practical and better solution, or just talk because my favourite is not the one carrying out the action. Nigeria is a very complex country with complex problems, i have learned to appreciate when something is being done to solve some of the problems.
As for establish, i establish by evidence not by faith in this case(politics).

Rom 13:1 KJV Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Rom 13:2 KJV Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

You mean all 36 state governors would loot all the money? No money paid for salary or projects? Wow. What is your suggestion to governance aside from utter condemnation?

1Alex:
according to INEC results, hope uzodinma did not win election as governor in Imo State but the court declared him winner. Today he is the Governor as declared by the court. That's same thing that is happening now, those results are there as declared by INEC

On 14 January 2020, the Supreme Court declared Uzodimma the duly elected Governor of Imo State. The court held that results from 388 polling units were wrongly excluded from votes ascribed to Uzodimma and the APC in Imo adding that the first appellant Uzodimma holds the majority of lawful votes cast. He went to court and competently proved his case. He has since won reelection.

i can keep giving you different news outlets with the same results. You said, "you know what the result later turned out to be after the whole saga". There was no change after till tomorrow. INEC is the constitutional authority to declare results, not some Chigozie in BBC. Disputes and discrepancies are solved with evidence at the tribunal/court. We didn't see such evidence for the allegations. Besides, to give you closure, you may do the math, let's forget that LP also allegedly rigged. Take all APC votes in Rivers and add them to LP if it makes you sleep better. See you in 2027 and come better prepared, not just mouth making, violence inciting, online polling. Have a decent situation room and adequate polling agents. Capture evidence on camera, not attempting to hack websites and using AI to do propaganda or calling on military and FIFA to take over the country and burn it.

Let’s talk, guys:

Have you also started feeling like money is EVERYTHING in today’s world?

Or do you still believe peace > paper?

Drop your thoughts. This one’s personal.

After everything, you find out that money is really not everything. That doesn't negate the truth that money is a useful servant. These two truths coexist, don't play.
