The writer of this editorial piece is a hater of Nigeria


Lawmaking as not same as activism and you hardly hear crazy news of confrontation between the Executives and the legislators in advance countries.

I give kudos to the current leadership of this assembly

Baatunde:
Honestly, only an ignoramus or a mischief maker would deny this fact Nigerian petroleum products have been finding their way to Benin for decades even when all our refinery were working full blast. My first time in Cotonou in 2004 I think, I saw petrol in all odd shapes of containers being sold openly on the streets and there were filling stations also which were virtually empty. My host informed me that the roadside fuel is from Nigeria it is cheaper and of better quality than the fuel at the filling stations which were mostly imported from Libya.

Yes their is usually complicity with the custom officials to smuggle fuel but you will find out also that a lot of ingenious methods are involved in the smuggling which makes it difficult to stop. Normal vehicles are fitted with extra tank capacities to move between Nigeria and the Benin, it is smuggled disguised as other products like coconut and groundnut oil, and it was widely known that most filling stations along the Idiroko and Seme borders on the Nigerian side hardly sell fuel to motorists at all. Talk less of the porous borders along Saki and further up north,

The best way to discourage the smuggling is to adjust the price accordingly. Do not forget that during Buhari-Idiagbon era there was death sentence penalty for smuggling fuel and yet this did not deter the smugglers

I grew up around the boarder area and I am over 40years of age but I grew up to know about the smuggling along the boarder areas which means people has been smuggling out our subsidized petrol products for over 40years .


There's no way Nigeria can develop with the continuation of the subsidy regime and it must go if we are sincere about wanting the best for this country

Roon9:
Oh! Maybe I wasn't getting the full gist at all. I thought the funds from subsidy were from our internally generated revenue. Omo

They have been borrowing to pay the fuckingg subsidy and the figure keep increasing at alarming rates

clearcrystal:
Something Buhari could not fix in 8yrs.

If eventually Tinubu is able to fix at least one before the end of this year, it simply means he's part of the cabal sabotaging the efforts of the previous administration.

Is this one a human being

proeast:
Your ignorance is quite disturbing. Can you mention the other Nigerian brand companies that manufacture vehicles in Nigeria?

Poorly educated chap, he can't even differentiate between car manufacturing and showrooms

You guys should get educated and stop seeing things from your own perspective alone .


There are lots of quality vehicle assembly plants in Nigeria apart from Innoson but you guys think only Igbo man can manufacture or assemble vehicles in this country.




Here are seven local assemblers of automobile companies changing the narrative of the industry.

Innoson Motors

It is the first-ever entirely Nigerian firm to enter full-scale automotive manufacture in Nigeria, with a capacity of 10,000 vehicles per year and 70 percent of parts made locally. It is headquartered in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria.

Nord Automobile

Nord Automobile, a Lagos-based automaker, devised the answer to supply durable and cheap vehicles in Nigeria.

The Nord Tank is the company’s most popular vehicle. It’s a pickup truck that’s been expertly designed to suit the driving conditions in Nigeria.

The Nord Flit, Nord Max, Nord A3, and Nord A5 are among the company’s other vehicles, which range from sedans to full-size commuter buses.

Stallion Motors

Nissan began local automobile manufacture in 2014, with the Nissan Patrol SUV as the first model. The Nissan Almera and Nissan NP300 are two vehicles that have been built in Lagos on a regular basis.

Nissan credits itself as the first automaker to comply with Nigeria’s new automobile policy, as Stallion Motors says it recognizes that the demand for brand-new automobiles in Nigeria grows every year and that doing so can only benefit the country and the company.

Hyundai’s KONA Electric is the first electric vehicle manufactured in Nigeria, launched in November 2020, by Stallion Group Automobile.

Dangote Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria (DPAN)

Peugeot cars were initially produced in Nigeria by Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN), which is separate from DPAN that now produces the brand’s vehicles.

DPAN was a product of collaboration including the Kaduna State Government (KDSG), Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) and PSA Groupe (the parent company of Peugeot), which decided to build a plant in Kaduna State for assembly of the Peugeot brand, with popular models such as the 301, 206, 306, 307, 406, and 607.

Lanre Shittu Motors (LSM)

With the potential to manufacture 2500 vehicles annually, the auto assembly became a household name with the MAC and JAC heavy-duty trucks in October 2018. LSM is a certified KIA, NISSAN, and Jinbei Bus dealer.

Globe Motors

One of the largest vehicle franchise owners, with Mercedes, Toyota, Hyundai, and the Higer brands, since March 1984.

Hyundai launched its first locally built automobiles in 2020 through Globe Motors, the company’s largest distributor in Nigeria.

Models such as the Hyundai i10 Grand, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Elantra, and Hyundai ix35 have been produced.

Coscharis Motors

It was founded in 2014 and began producing Ford Rangers vehicles.

Coscharis Motors Assembly Ltd is a Coscharis Motors company that is a Ford vehicle assembler for the Nigerian market. The Ford F-150 pickup truck was the facility’s first vehicle.

Coscharis, Nigeria’s largest distributor of BMW, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, and Ford vehicles, finished its Ford assembly factory in 2018, with intentions to produce 10,000 to 20,000 cars per year.

GREATIGB0MAN:
Not stingy in spending


I mean being stingy in clinging to power even at the detriment of his party... Ask Wike.


See the useless boy he picked for VP

You are calling a sitting governor a boy ?

GREATIGB0MAN:
If peter Obi contest in PDP with all their resources.

Peter Obi will surely win


Atiku is too stingy and power hungry


Very useless old man

Atiku is stingy or what are you saying? You obviously has not been following his activities. Atiku is a big spender and he can even outspread PBAT.

Obi will definitely go back to PDP for more national spread but Tinubu would've empty their house by the time Obi gets back to the party

Gppgn:
No1..Remi tinubu is not a pastor in rccg.. she's just a deconess...

No2.. obasanjo won in a Free and fair election twice..in fact till this moment he's the Best we've ever had

No3.. obasanjo did not hire fake bishops

No4. In the history of this country.. the last election was the most controversial ever... let's be honest.. stop typing Rubbish.

Nonsense!!! I still remembered the events of 1999 and 2003 elections very well and what happened in those periods shouldn't be termed an election but a charade .

An election where PDP recorded over 500,000 votes beyond the accredited number of voters, and election where the security agents determine who win in their territory and other form of electoral malpractices.


You allege someone hired fake bishops whereas the socalled "fake bishops" turned out to be real men of God unlike the Baba ijo that's also an ogboni cult leader

oladipuposadeeq:
he didn't perform as people expected him most especially when it comes to construction of roads mostly the abandoned ones and also his promise to make Ogun state an industrial hub instead them no see shishi 🙄😔🤣🤔

The reasons for low turnout at DA's inauguration is not due to nonperformance or rigging but it's due to the fact that majority of the populace chose to monitor Tinubu's inauguration on tv instead.


I heard a group in my area and we were duly invited to the event at kuto stadium but instead of attending that one I fuelled my generator and we all gathered to monitor the Abuja event on the tv .

Go and look at Sanwo-olu inauguration ceremony too and you will see how scanty that events too

inoki247:
Why you they lie like this same you that said on your way to Owerri Airport you never said In Lagos now you're turning your lies around.....




The question were you in Lagos and Abia yesterday or u na attention u dey find..



I don't need to brag with you no be everybody go dey chest beat with you stop bragging with ordinary local flight have used the MM1 for international and MM2 for the local before so rest...



I don't need to be bragging with u cos flying na means if transportation no be acheivment....



Show something with time stamp and date and stop capping nd talk jargons

The guy must be one terrible broke night*r. There's no way he would've attend Alex Otti's inauguration and still meet up with Sanwo-olu inauguration in Lagos because the two events happened at the same time so all the lies about flying from Owerri to Lagos after attending an even in Abia state earlier is nonsense and cheap lies .

If he can tackle insecurity , power and economy posterity will judge him greatly

thatigboman:
so what are they doing at eagles Square today?

Swearing in the new president and it's not going to be performed by Buhari but the CJN . If you see Buhari there he just came there to lend support and goodwill to the incoming administration.

You will hardly see any governor physically handing over to the opposition and when they do they mostly do that a day to the inauguration at the government house .


The new governor elect actually want to set Ganduje up for attack by wanting him to handover to him at the inauguration ground where the thugs will have a field day especially in a state like Kano

garfield1:
Ogun state has too many technocrats to present rubbish

If they ask Osoba to nominate a minister that's who he will nominate. He's a former deputy governor

Yemi Cardoso would've been a good replacement for Emefiele but the next CBN governor will be coming from the North

quickberry:
Wale Edun is from Ogun state

Thank you for reminding me of this baba

Osoba will likely nominate one of the Ministers from Ogun state and if that is the case I won't be surprised if he nominate his son inlaw as usual, Prince Segun Adesegun


2. Dele Alake is from Ekiti state and not Ogun state.

garfield1:
You are not getting it.fashola has been minister for 8 years.what else does he have to offer

Fashola is a very brilliant guy and we'll rated by Asiwaju and I don't see him getting pushed behind by Tinubu this time around. There's still a certain financial wizard who's a strong ministerial candidates in Yemi Cardoso

garfield1:
Edun is certain.ogala is a very good lawyer and will edge out fashola.fash has been governor and minister 8 years,tinubu wont use him again as he was loyal to bat.

You actually believed Tinubu will relegate fashola for Ogala? It won't happen

garfield1:
Sorry,I let me replace keyamo with ogala immediately.the guy is good.keyamo would be substantive minister of labour maybe.your right,coas might be SW.let us analyze potentials dig and aigs with 4 or more years in service.i feel customs and ndlea bosses should be retained..

Ogala will not be a minister because there are other stronger ministerial candidates from Lagos. Wale Edun and Fashola will likely fly Lagos ministerial flag .

Journalistonwhe:
Can Amaechi bring up this case when the president has been sworn and what are the chances of his victory in Court?

I hope you will give him money to pursue the case ? I don't know how hatred for someone you don't have personal dealings with can make you people go to this length. It shows you know Tinubu is the best but you just want his downfall because he's Tinubu.

For your information, Amaechi can institute the case if he still have some millions to lose because that case is already status barred and you can't institute a pre-election case after the completion of the election.

2. The court already ruled that there's no double nomination in Shettima's case because his nomination as a senatorial candidate was duly withdrawn before his nomination as a VP candidate

3. Any further suit on that matter will attract a very heavy fine from the high court up to the Supreme court.


Tinubu's presidency is ordained by God and no amount of scheming can prevent that

Either they want Tinubu or not , Nigeria will prosper during his administration and beyond.



Every patriotic Nigerians will excel during Tinubu tenure and beyond

Hff

rikithor:
There is no electoral commission in Nigeria
There is nothing legislature in Nigeria
There is no judiciary in Nigeria
The executives are most corrupt,they came in through fraud,use fraud to sustain their anitpeople policies.
The upright is helpless
Even the West we called for help has taken side with evil.
We have looked up for help.

I love your style of wailing 🤣🤣🤣

Believeintruth:
Taaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep quiet there. This is how you people keep trying to spin history. Awolowo was never made GCFR

uote author=Penguin2 post=123309228]

Obi was busy dismantling the wrong foundations that had held Anambra down.

He concentrated in restructuring of Anambra politics and the structure and workings of Anambra as a whole and set it on the right path.

The people didn’t understand these things while he was in office. It was when they started reaping the fruit of his works after he had left office that they came to revere him more.

And hey, Obi was also very popular while in office.

You are not from Anambra, that’s why you are arguing.[/quote]So it was when Obi left governance that they realized he worked ? Stand up comedy is your calling sir

garfield1:
Ngige was doing well before his godfgdathers struck.buhari is a no-nonsense fellow,look at where it got us.obi is average,umahi is far far better while obi is overhyped and exaggerated.we need someone who will take the economy to pre gej era,make cash flow not someone who hardly release funds.
Obi doesnt have friends nationwide,he is not liberal minded and too tribalized.he doesnt command national respect and fear

Thank you for this. They think it's everyone that suffering from short memory . Obi was an average governor and he's never in the discuss when debating about the best governors in his era

Penguin2:
If you know how Obi met Anambra and how he left it, you would know why Anambra people worship him, and why you should never downplay his works in Anambra.

Meanwhile, Obi has the tact and connections to hold Nigeria together better than Tinubu will ever do.

Obi is a no-nonsense character that you can’t compare to GEJ who is meek and always wants to make everyone happy.

Obi is in a class of his own abeg.

This is another misinformation from the obidients. Anambrans always praise and made mention of Ngige's performance in office and they regard him as the best governor in the history of Anambra until towards the end of Obi's tenure when Obi activated ethnicity to campaign against Ngige by saying he's in Amala and ewedu party , Awolowo party , Anambrans wealth will be stolen and channeled to Tinubu in Lagos etc .

It took serious begging from ojukwu to get Obi elected for second and Obi capitalized on Fashola deportation saga to get Obiano elected as a successor .


Obi was an average governor in Anambra and nobody remember him when rating his colleagues throughout that period

Tiwa baby for life !!!

Babamide:
Must every comment always be for support?? You are so blinded that you cannot differentiate between an independent organisation and a political party. How is my attacking an independent organisation prove that I am a LP supporter.

Are you so ashamed of your comments that you don't want to be linked to the party and Peter Obi ?

You're not qualified to be living among human beings and I pity the people around you

Penguin2:
INEC cannot reject candidates of a political party?

Oya what happened in Zamfara?🤔🧐

Maybe you need to revisit the Zamfara incident and get yourself educated bro . Only court can bar INEC from accepting candidates list from the parties.
