Party that's not organised, how would it organise the affairs of Nigeria.

No wonder the country is in shambles.

You did made some valid points, but like the person below asked, what has the government done with the little in their disposal?

In order words, how would you entrust someone who'd failed to manage little/small responsibilities with bigger responsibilities?

backbencher:


Because
1.We don't pay tolls on the roads like we used to

2.Due to oil prices never being where we want them to be, they are always low, and as a result, revenue for road repairs is also low.

3.Tax to gdp ratio is 8% (Ghana 24%, South Africa 24%)



Because we

1.Sell it at a loss. Cost reflective tarrifs should be above N83 per kwh, but we pay between N41-71 PER KWH, and before it was around N20-30. So, discos and gencos and tcn don't have enough cash to fix things.

2.30-40%of people don't even pay for power adding to the losses

3.Because the sector runs at a loss, it cannot fix the problems it faces, and government bailouts don't even cover the problem (even with government bailouts, the sector needs at least N1 trillon extra to fix things annually).

Run a business at a loss...


Because fees are too too low to pay for improving things.

In Universities, for example, the immediate past VC of a university once said that his overheads are 600million naira a year, yet he gets 120 million from government for the thing.

Fees are too too low. We spend about $3 billion on education, South Africa has nice universites, a budget of $23 billion and fees much higher than our own universities.

Basically, we are not earning enough money to pay for universities, and we are still setting up more. Also see tax in 3 above.




Health is heavily subsidsied...meaning that they don't have money. Government hospitals are forced to charge cheap tarrifs, meaning they run at a loss, plus some patients don't pay.

Plus, we spend less than $3 billion for something that needs $100 billion or more before we see decent health care



Pay low tarrifs, get low quality supply.



We pay one tenth of the amount the city of New York budgets in a year to fund its local police...to police 200 million or more people. New York has 25 million people. And you expect miracles.

(ENDSARS agitated for this by the way...it was one of their points. Better funding and saalries for police)




Yeah, but we are not ready to pay the actual cost of refining that fuel into petrol at standard. That means when we had refineries we sold petrol from them at a loss, and then paid a subsidy that did not cover the losses. When the refinereis broke down, we started importing, and selling the petrol at a cost below the cost of importing it..and paying a subsidy that if we had sold at a profit, would have been used for refineries.

Yes, we spend money that could have been used in part for refineries on subsidy, and we are about to take a loan of 3 trillion naira for subsidy this year due to its rising cost due to rising oil prices.

Sell at a loss, get problems like scarcity...which is used to recoup losses made all year from selling below market price.
No good working system (no system work in Nigeria, they've been littered with corruption)


In conclusion, APC and PDP and all the other parties would make Nigeria better if we face the reality that we are a poor country, and we cannot fund welfare packages from oil revenue.

Better we start by removing oil subsidy and also allowing power sector to charge N100 and above per kwh. In return, we subsidsie education and health and public transport with the money saved from removing subsides on both power and petrol

We can also collect taxes from the 70% of Nigerians that do not pay taxes to the state and FG. Taxable Nigerians, not kids.

And we can also collect tolls on the roads, and parking tickets, to fund road repairs.


(My opinion. If you do not like it, sorry. I am not responsible for you getting angry over words.)

May God deliver Nigerians from suffering and smiling, you're suffering and boasting of it.

Why would you term suffering as an act of ruggedness?..Lolz

jeffizy:
Ruggedness. Ability to survive under the worst kind of condition.

I have asked myself this particular questions more than 1000 times.

No good road
No electricity
No education (ASSU strike yearly festival)
No good health care
No water (no running water)
No security
No petrol.. every year fuel scarcity (and we have crude oil in abundance!!!)
No good working system (no system work in Nigeria, they've been littered with corruption)


So what actually is the country giving back to his people?

So what actually are Nigerians benefiting from Nigeria?

Maybe someone can help with the benefits of been a Nigeria.

Happy birthday Daddy Adeboye

Hmm

Ok

You don't know something, instead of you to calm down and learn, you rather chose to wallow in ignorant.

Iyaebe:
Anything crypto and other internet ways of making money is fraudulent to me,people that make money online are mostly fraudsters or potential fraudsters.Dem plenty here for nairaland.All those boys doing crypto also know how to hack people's account and hacking is fraudulent, so all of dem dy swim for the same ocean. Crypto=Hacking=Fraud.

As far as na Aboki thief, nothing go happen.

Sai barba.
Nothing Buhari cannot destroy

Just be careful.

If wishes were horses.

I love Germany

Nothing like Constitution in Nigeria, na do as you like and nothing will happen in as much you have money or power.

Nigeria is such a lawless country afflicted with unfortunate rulers.

Why must the rep asked nnpc to do what the ought to have done in the first place!

Such unlucky country.

God help Nigerians with common sense.

ontop all the problems facing this country na Vision FM be NBC problem

Congrats to them

without sentiment, i think a lot of people likes peter obi, i like him too.
i would've preferred that people look inward with deep thinking before voting.

peter obi have my vote and that of my family.

KingOfTheDamned:
I think OBi is a much better choice the Southeast can produce that the rest of us will support their ambitions.

Much better than Ayim at least. I feel though it's the rightful turn of the Southeast but they should show us seriousness by presenting a credible candidate like Obi then other regions will get behind them.

So in my opinion this is a good move

buygala:
Buhari will handle insecurity


Osibanjo will handle economy





Insecurity and Economy :

I have thinking about Tinubu's possibility of becoming the president of this country.
the questions are,
what does Tinubu has to say or what would be his manifestos again under APC?
that he will fight corruption? how?
that he will give you power in six month? how?
that he will provide 1million jobs per year? how?
that he will cub fulani herdsmen activities? where are the cows like he said?

what would any APC aspirant present as his manifesto or campaign promises that people would fall for?

though i like Osinbanjo cos he's younger, and he's in turn with what's happening around the world, but what would he come out to say
?
if you cant think well please don't to result to calling me IPOB oo, not all of us belongs to suffering and smilling group.

you cant be expecting Nigeria to be like other developed countries while you vote in visionless and cruel rulers.

what would be his manifestos?
that he will fight corruption too? how?

tolue42:
Please vote for ASIWAJU BOLA TINUBU. This man is surrounded with thousands of technocrats, so we should expect a new NIGERIA where things works.

Transformation of Nigeria is a must!

just because he showed interest in running for presidency.

Crypto is not a scam. Period

Congratulations

May the best team win

This is the person people who claim to be educated are fronting to be their President.

Are you not tired of suffering and boasting and smiling?

If they check now, those people supporting him go school oo!.

His Tinubu the only qualified candidate in Nigeria?

Would the money you're been paid to campaign for Tinubu sustain you for another 8years of disaster?

How much are paid? Are you not tired of suffering, abi what kind of human being are you sef?

Tinubu would come and still say thesame thing Buhari told you in 2015 and 2019.

Are we so dump in this country that we cannot use our brains to think right?
