I'm not tribal.

If the court said he should be released, why is he still held?


When it's your blood brother, I hope you reason the way you are.
What court says he should be released? Do you have the court order? Why do you not recognise the supreme court order? Is the Supreme Court a joke to you or why this hypocrisy?

No rule of law in the country.

Free Nnamdi Kanu!

You freed enough terrorists already! Terrorists of the Bokoharam group were freed in their numbers and reintroduced as citizens.


The only reason he is held hostage is due to he fact that there's no rule of law, and it's not a tribesman. So nepotism, favoritsm and politics is in play.

Sunday of the Yoruba nation who advocated for the same thing MNK did is a freeman. A tribesman is free. Another man from another tribe isn't.

So much for one Nigeria!


Discrimination, marginalisation, and corruption!


It's okay to praise the govt when their activities affect your enemies badly...wait until they get to you.
What is this one saying? How can you compare that Benin republic prisoner to lamidi. Did the prisoner have radio broadcasts orchestrating the killing of soldiers, police and civilians? Did he kill people for coming out to work or order that they should be killed? Did he attempt to destabilize a region outside his own? Lamidi is held responsible for ipod and their activities and his brother in Finland will also join him soon by God's grace. It's shameful how you people twist history and logic so shamelessly because of tribe.

While this is good, it doesn't solve the root problem. It only removes one excuse of the greedy. Where is our Trade commission from Federal Ministry of Commerce and Industry to regulate prices? Ram and tomatoes are not imported but we recently saw the price jack up by times ten, and come back down. We also saw the game between naira and dollar.

I acknowledge there are proposed reduction in tax, but that is nothing compared to the multiplier effect of Custom duties increment, under 1yr of BAT administration custom duty as being hiked 6 times

Nigeria is not a producing nation meaning people and manufacturers depend heavily on importation, the multiplier effect of high custom duties overrides tax reduction gains .. do the maths
never in the history of Nigeria a naija used car is selling higher than the price it was bought years ago, the nation is not ready for production the only reason why govt continue to shoot up custom duties is crazy revenue drive subjecting people to hardship

Dangote refinery came alive because of his commitment and devotion to that course, except you have a proof FG bankrolled him ..however if FG is as supportive as you portray why is Dangote importing crude huh
continuous pumping of money/resources into a refinery over decade and still won't work is a clear indication of corruption, can you pump money to revive a car for a year and you won't take drastic action huh now what drastic action has FG taken all these years? why are heads never rolling huh
There is so much rot and decay in NNPC and govt is covering it up if not why is Heineken not replaced yet, isnt it obvious that man is out of ideas ??
8yrs ago, i was as optimistic as you arguing it takes time for effective .. after buhari 8yrs nothing to show and you expect me to still continue on that trend .. weekend wey go sweet naa from friday you can tell

You can't smear Yaradua's deeds, thats the best president that never lasted, the only thing Nigerians are suffering from is Corrupt leaders that never get tired of stealing & looting
IF business operation were conducive & profitable what other selfish reasons can over ride Profit making, besides foreign investor don't owe it to love Nigeria, they are here on business grounds, its our leaders who don't love us cos they sell us cheaply to foreigners that is why they treat their employees badly & get away with it.
Anyone that understand business will know the Tinubu led administration scores Zero in creating an enabling environment for business .. go nd listen to dangote last speech .. BAT disappointed us jare
Mistakes will be made and lessons will be learned. i agree that the FG should have tried to immediately checkmate the increase, which was caused by fluctuating rates. Unfortunately, Nigeria does not generally have a system in place for curtailing arbitrary raises in cost, we seriously need that, especially in our markets. It's basically the same thing that has affected most sectors, just vibes. No real economic reason. At least, we both know that customs has nothing much to do with a naija used car selling higher than the price it was bought. That's why food prices skyrocketed, not really customs. A basket of tomatoes went up by times ten and came back again. Same with meat, eggs, ram during the Eid and others. No proper regulation from the start. Another arm of the FG tax committee recommended N800/$ Customs duty rate about a month ago. Hopefully, that should work soon.
Again on Dangote refinery, FG has a 20% stake in it, that is apart from all the waivers given to him and the moneys given in billions of dollars. The LASG also gave him great support that he did not receive in other states. Dangote is importing crude for two main reasons. Cost-effectiveness compared to Nigerian premium grades crude which cost more. There's something in refining called crack spread i.e crude oil has different grades and some have more spread to refine to different products than others. A higher crack spread indicates greater profitability and encourages refineries to maximise capacity utilisation. Lower crack spread crude cost less but are not as profitable for Dangote. Number 2 reason is the govenment juggling between meeting quota sales to outsiders at max. profit and selling to Dangote. Like you said, all the buyers are businessmen including Dangote. They shuffle who to sell to and the quantity.
As for the FG owned refineries, there MUST be turn around maintenance, whether they are producing or not. This keeps the refinery alive in a sense and suitable(good price) for future buyers in case they decide to sell. Otherwise, they will sell it as scrap to mallam. Refinery is complex, even your car, you can't just park it and expect it will retain its quality. Not to mention the deep seated corruption in the NNPC that we've been shouting about since and before Diezani days. Literally, there are people that have money (how much is money kind of money) in that system that you don't necessarily want to pick fight head on with, with all the fights on ground already. The PIB should help in this as time goes on.
Senator Heineken is one clueless minister i agree, but he is nowhere near NNPC's problem. He's being minister for less than a year. i will be calling Kyari and co instead, not Heineken. And Heineken got us a good deal also this week with African Energy Bank HQ.
Yaradua's mistake reversal of the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refinery sales is why we are still talking about the refineries today. Those refineries are one of the reasons why Dangote and other refineries struggled so long and still continue to struggle.
As for the exited companies, free money is diferent from profit. Many of them are very corrupt and cannot explain to their HQs why and how they will start making profit instead of free money. They have exploited us enough, let them go. BTW, a major percentage of their profit and main staff were going out of Nigeria, right? Companies that have been in Nigeria for over 50 years and tere is still no possiblity of Nigerians been trained and able to run them, are those ones companies? What part of the world allows that apart from us? They will carry school dropouts to come here and be director and vice president, abeg. They should gerrout. We will survive. We need people who are serious about Nigeria and business, not exploitation.

LordReed:
You are kidding if you think the Buddhist influence is limited because most Buddhists are in Asia. It will interest you to know that a lot of the top Fortune 500 CEOs and other C Suite Executives have some Zen Buddhist influence in their life. So to think because the people around you have no clue about Buddhist scripture doesn't mean it is limited to one part of the world.

Another thing to note is neither Buddhism nor Hinduism is evangelical nor do they seek world conquest in contrast to Islam and Christianity.

BTW the Muslim population is projected to exceed that of Christians in the coming decades, is that a sign of divine origin? Of course you'll say no, again because your choosing the wide spread nature of Christianity is just a confirmation bias you are indulging in because if the Christian population is no longer the dominant one you'll claim some other thing and discard this population/spread as a point.
Those top Fortune 500 CEOs and other C Suite Executives have also read the Bible. And that 500 or 1000 number of rich people are still human beings. We don't count them as more than one person in a census or vote. So, yes, Buddhism and its influence is limited, and most Buddhists are in Asia.
That neither Buddhism nor Hinduism is evangelical again proves their lack of influence and relevance. Apparently their deity didn't realise or think ahead that there are other creatures outside China and India, or there were no plans for them.
For me, true muslims are already more than true christians and have been that way before i was born and for a very long time, it's not just a projection. So, i am not speaking for religious population but the influence that the BIBLE has had compared to all the billions of other books. It remains unparalleled by a wide margin. i have not chosen the wide spread nature of the christian religion but the widespread influence of the Bible. There's a difference.

That Nigerians understand "hardship" won't go away over night is not a justification for the Tinubu-led administration to deliberately increase Hardship on Nigerians ... the crazy revenue drive solely via taxation and the incessant increase in MPR is a enough testament.
I understand its democracy and there are so much lacuna in the constitution coupled with inside enemies/saboteurs But trust me the Nigerian FG welds more power above all these challenges, the readiness, commitment and willingness is not just their on FG part thats the reality
For instance, there was an intel that gathered names of people sponsporing terrorism under buhari .. till date they are yet to publish it, if buhari was protecting his brothers whats stopping Tinubu
For many years FG/politicians have acted in ways that make Nigeria feel having a working refinery is Mission impossible, But just one man under 8yrs built the largest single train refinery gaint of Africa cannot even resuscitate one

Bro we live in a global world, if our leaders are ready and committed to driving the nation forward .. there are tested templates we can easily emulate, just like in maths when you have an example its easy to solve main questions ... i believe our leaders know what to do but they deliberately act clueless cos they are part of the problem Nigeria is facing, there source of wealth is rooted in corruption.
Tinubu is not taking loan from IMF but recorded has it under 1yrs BAT as borrowed $4.95billion whats the difference, loan na loan,
You want us to believe there is overhauling in the oil and gas sector whereas a simple task as meeting our quota we can't, even dangote is being sidelined ... recently heineken was on Tv to give excuses for NNPC incompetence and he declared war ... who is fooling who no be dem dem.

A serious Govt that want to cut cost or lead by example have all the power to reject luxury and expensive lifestyle ... there is no budget in Nigeria history that bypasses the president stand, Moreover We saw late pres. Yaradua cut Cost and minimize lavish spending ... determination and willingness bro.

Nigeria is getting is different from Nigeria has gotten ... now when you compare the incoming investment to the list of companies/investment that as existed Nigeria cos of BAT morbid policies .. is there really a cause for celebration.

Bro, i understand Govt needs time But whatever we have seen roll out from these BAT administration is clearly not a re-direction cos they are not doing anything differently ... the man just continued from where Buhari stopped, BAT is a disgrace to west so far
What do you mean by the crazy revenue drive solely via taxation? Has there been an increase in tax or VAT that we are unaware of? Because we are very much aware of how the government has tried to reduce tax and customs duties instead, aside from the news last week of executive order to suspend import duties and value-added tax on essential medical supplies imported into the country. You said that the FG wields more power, but immediately disprove it by pointing to the helplessness of two different administrations.
Dangote refinery is working with the 100% backing and help of the FG, both past and present, and the LASG. It is not just the effort of Dangote. The money and promises consistently pumped into the government refineries is an indication that they want it to work, but there's something more to it.
The so called template you mention, is not part of it that Tinubu did by floating currency and subsidy removal. Is that not what they teach every world economist? Is that not what economists have been shouting for over a decade until it was implemented, and they went mute?
Tinubu is not taking loan from IMF, good that we now agree on that. Most of the loan has been from the CBN. There is no way the government will not borrow, or do you have another option? If you don't have money, and you must pay bills, will you not borrow? Loan is not loan, you must look at the conditions of the loan, and also the purpose of, and need for the loan.
The oil and gas sector is not a block making industry where you just produce within hours. It takes time to see positive change in such a large and refined sector. It is a definition of the adage to destroy is very easy. Who is giving Nigeria quota, it is Nigeria itself that 'lobbies' for more quota because you get more money if you supply more. So it is to Nigeria's good, not anyone else good, if quota is met. Aside from having to supply Dangote refinery with some of their crude oil, the issues of vandalism and maintenance remain. Those are real challenges that cannot be wished away. Nigeria's last Offshore project was in 2009, so how do you significantly increase production. With the multi-billion-dollar deals the government is now signing in the sector, that is a new world of possibility apart from an economic revamp. This is beyond NNPC's well documented incompetence. Other leaders have tried solving NNPC, Tinubu is not resting on that, that is significant.
Yar'Adua is a topic for another time. The advantages of his style are yet to be seen. All the revocations he made is what we are still suffering from and have paid heavily for today.
Lastly, half of the companies that exited Nigeria did so for selfish reasons, not because they loved Nigeria. They are the ones that benefited most from Nigeria's rotten system. Now, that it looks like they must really work for their profit and rightly pay, they are leaving. That is aside from the half that already had plans to leave for other reasons. Give it at least one year from now. You should start seeing the difference.

LordReed:
The Hindu and Buddhist scriptures are older than the Bible and are still very relevant to those who find it inspirational. In fact in the West the Buddhist scriptures seem to be gaining more ground than the Bible. These are all human experiences, there is nothing divine about it. The Quran has just as much influence globally as the Bible does so why should we believe the Bible is divinely inspired and the Quran or the Buddhist scriptures are not? No reason at all.
Talking about numbers and religion,
There are about 2.4 billion christians in the world (Personally and BTW, i don't believe that a huge % of them are true Bible christians).
There are about 21.9 billion muslims in the world.
There are about 1.2 billion hindus in the world.
There are about 535 million buddhists in the world.

All four religions are from Asia as you know. Now to define their influence and relevance to the world,
99% of Buddhists are found in the Asia -Pacific region. Most of the 1 % outside Asia are still migrants from Asia.
It's also a staggering less than 1% figure for Hindu population outside Asia. Again, most of these less than 1% are migrants from Asia.
You cannot compare these to the muslim and christian numbers and percentages. That is influence and relevance.
But like i have said many times, i am not talking about religion. i am talking about the Bible.
While the Buddhist and Hindu books may be older than the Bible, nobody knows them, or let's say, an insignificant number of people know them outside the Asia-Pacific. They lack global influence and relevance. They cannot compete on level ground. If you remove tradition, restriction and force (which ALL the other books enjoy), most of them will further lose their influence and relevance. They can't even survive half of what the Bible has gone through if you know history well.
Once again, i have not said that the Quran or the Buddhist scriptures are not inspired. The Bible is inspired by God, they are the ones that know the spirit that inspired their own books. The only spirit that i know is God and my own spirit. i have not said that other spirits do not exist, even the Bible affirms that they do.

I mentioned those religions because they also have their own scriptures so it's just a reference to their own sustained existence which is backed by their own belief and inspiration from their own scriptures. You cannot claim divine inspiration for yours and use its continuous existence as an evidence of its divine origin then deny same for others, that is just an arbitrary line you drew up.

Maybe you are not familiar with the Buddhist scripture and how people claim to receive healing from it's practice and I have no doubt you will find similar claims from the Hindus as well as other religious scripture backed practices. These are all human experiences as far as we can tell since that is the common denominator among them. If you want to prove divine origin then inspiration and length of existence is NOT an indicator.
Those religions(including Christianity) didn't increase or continue because of their books/scriptures. They continued because humans are naturally religious, they'll take the religion that they find. Humans will always find something or someone to worship, these religions supply that demand. What is the name of the Hindu or Buddhist scriptures, it's largely unheard of or localized.
One of the reasons why the Bible is a great book is its relevance for length of existence. How many books are as old as the Bible and still relevant? They've all lost their relevance. Like i hinted, the Bible is not the only inspired book. It's different because it is inspired by God. i have not denied inspiration of other books by some other spirits. There are principalities and powers and the Bible teaches that, it's not new. There's no book that surpasses the Bible in influence, time span, present past and future insight, and change of life. The Bible changes lives, not just instruct.

If PDP had saved, Buhari would not have needed to borrow. Government is a continuum. PDP had enough and excess revenue to not borrow, yet they borrowed for even basic things like salary.
It's common sense. It's like person A(PDP) having income of 100,000 and expenses of 80,000 and yet borrowing. He should have saved at least 20,000 monthly but instead had negative balance and debt. Person B (APC) came in to meet the debt higher expenses like 90,000 and less income of like 60,000. Where's the magic that he would not borrow. Yet he didn't even borrow to pay salaries like PDP. Most of Buhari's borrowing was to pay due debt and for infrastructure.

If you check countries especially in Asia that have grown very rapidly in the past 3 to 4 decades, they are NOT democracies. Nobody can question the leadership in the democratic sense or put hurdles. So where they have visionary leaders, they are literally flying.
Who born you to do anyhow, steal or put the price you feel like, rent seek or even criticize the president's decision in those places? It's unlike here, where the FG wants to do things, there's attack from everywhere. A politician will be a politician, he will have to tread carefully in such a case. He'll have to make people see reason. They'll have to be placated, and babysitted for cooperation. Look at the distractions of insecurity, suicide bombers, bandits, kidnappers, boko haram and unknown gunmen. Not to mention thieves sabotaging infrastructure. This is aside outcries about what the president does, eats, wears, who he employs, where is she from, who is handling contract, whose company, etc. A democratic government must be answerable to all these and more and still play their cards carefully and slowly. They are on slippery ground.
All these rant is to say that you cannot expect real/tangible changes in one year. You have to patiently wait. For instance, most of what the president had in plan since August to October last year are just starting last month and this month. They are just rolling them out. So he has to make solid policies and framework that will last. Unfortunately, Betty Edu or whatever her name, should have spearheaded the help of the poor was politically checkmated. Her work is in the hand of governors who are doing next to nothing about it.
What you called lavish spending is not lavish but part of the budget agreed on by both the legislative arms and the ministries. It is not a one man decision. N60 billion was budgeted for the students’ loan programme, not 10 billion, and it's a start. It needs funding.
Nigeria has not borrowed any loan from IMF since Tinubu that i am aware of, you can update me. We are not among IMF's top 10 debtors. We have Ghana, Angola, Kenya, Cote d Ivoire in that set, not Nigeria.
Currently, there is massive financial reengineering ongoing in oil and gas. These things don't take weeks or months to show, they take years. Nigeria is getting
---HQ of Sahel Climate Fund
—HQ of African Central Bank
—HQ of Africa Energy Bank
—HQ of the new Gulf of Guinea (GoG) Combined Maritime Task Force

This is a lot of investment achieved in one year. i agree that we need a consumer board where prices of things are regulated. 60% of the suffering of many has been greedy rent-seeker citizen caused, not FG caused. But when the plans begin to fall in place, it will be like a tsunami bigger than the enemies of the country. Give it some more time. There are people who are benefitting from the rot of Nigeria, they are fighting tooth and nail against progress.

What is the impact of the increased funding? What is the value of the naira now? So if you devalue the naira and increase the amount have you achieved anything? The greatest problem of this country is foolish citizens like yourself. A government claim to end subsidy but same government is paying subsidy till date and yet you cannot see anything wrong …smh
Exactly, it should not have been increased, right? How much of the subsidy is in your account?
