Exnavyboy62: There is a higher tendency of him reducing criminality in the country by providing employment and once he's able to achieve that, then insecurity will reduce to it's minimum. Most criminals commit atrocities due to poverty and lack of employment.
About the economy, with him being an economist we expect that he will ban imports all foreign products that can be locally made. As in I can't believe we still import cars when we have Innoson motors, we import phones when we have Imose, Rice is been smuggled into the country despite the fact that it can be locally grown and the one that left me stunned, military boots are imported while we have the Japan of Africa, Aba and so on. The Nigerian Biafra war gave Nigeria the hint to start manufacturing it's own locally product, the Igbos really made wonders with their locally made weapons but yet attention was not given to them
So like I said Peter Obi who happens to be an economist will know what to do by the time he gets to Aso Rock by God's grace. Peter Obi will not perform magic if Labour party does not win the Senate, House of Reps and a majority of states and houses of assembly. This is a fact. |

Stormtrooper11: Sure, the Federal Republic of Nigeria has passed through alot of tests and remained a single entity but each time it passes a test, it loses some foundations of its establishment. Nigeria is wearing out. You might not be based currently in the country, and you won't understand what I see. Nigeria might exist past 2023, but its stability within the coming years are not assured.
Since independence, Nigeria has been hailed as the jewel of Great Britain in Africa. Nigeria is viewed as potential world leader and the liberator of the black race but without that stability which would be key to our success, we'll keep losing citizens in large numbers and moving from one crises to another without achieving that potential. We'll keep being "a ticking time bomb". Nigeria is not wearing out, there's so much hope. Look at our IT sector, Fintech,look at what local content has done for our oil industry, look at our how our education sector has grown with more and more private sector investment, look at our cinema and entertainment sector, real estate sector,see how only 90 athletes we sent brought Nigeria 35 medals. There so much hope in our country, I will never de-market Nigeria no matter who is in power. My father was the only educated man in his village, a village with bush tracks. Today his village, my village is now a city, with all the amenities of a city. Yes we have power failure, no bad roads, and every street has a street gate for extra security, but it's no longer a village. That's progress. Progress is appreciating where you are, from where you used to be, with hope that tomorrow would be better. I might not be based in Nigeria, but it is my Nigerian education I used to get my abroad work. The British left Nigeria with a 93% illiteracy rate. Nothing to be proud of there. If they felt Nigeria was a jewel, they would have put more effort into educating us. |

Stormtrooper11: So? Alot have changed. Nigerian economy has dipped. Inflation has increased. People have found goods much expensive. Terrorism has spread out of the north east. Many Nigerians think that the government is sponsoring nepotism.
Nigeria might have not collapsed but the misery index has soared Why do you Nigerians have a habit of talking down your own country, why? Do you attract foreign investment by sowing seeds of hate and abhorrence for your own country? Is that not a example of an exhibition of very low self-esteem? The economy is not good today, we know that. The security situation is not great, we also know that. Where's there not inflation in the world today? Do we build a prosperous country by self-loathing? There was never a time when Nigeria was Utopia, in the 60's and 70's Nigerians were barely educated. There have been communal clashes in this country right before independence. We cannot build Nigeria by de-marketing Nigeria. |

Odunayaw: Who ever set up the bomb didn't take their demolitions training seriously
The tiring thing about being alarmism in this country is that it is usually a coverup to do nothing in any capacity Exactly, we expect miracles too much in this country. Nobody wants to commit there fair share, but we want everything free because we produce 2.2 million barrels of oil a day. 2.2 million barrels for a country of over 200 million people and a landmass of 923,768 sq km. |

Stormtrooper11: I'm not actually giving an excuse for those barbarians and scallywags who claim to be terrorists but undertake the bidding of evil Nigerian politicians and elites.
The Nigerian government had failed. It's glaring that the Nigerian government and its crude democracy can't manage its population and resources. The systematic corruption has crumbled the only physical symbol of national unity which is the Nigerian Armed forces and destroyed morale and dedication of the few who wants to make a change.
Nigeria is running out of time. This game which these evil politicians run like a cycle would soon spin out of their control. The chains will fall off the wheels and might lead the entire establishment to a total collapse quicker than envisaged. Wasn't a total collapse of Nigeria predicted in 2015? What has changed between now and then? |

Stormtrooper11: I've been on this thread since 2013. I'm the last person that will be brainwashed.
I think you have the Stockholm syndrome, because I don't understand how comfortable you feel with the unsecured roads in Nigeria. Every time a Nigerian is about to do a single meaningful thing, he put all his hopes and trust in God because the possibility of him reaching his final destination is below 50%. Buhari's advance party was attacked the other day, the last time a president convoy was attacked in our history was 1976. The Armed forces might had dismantled the terrorists from the North East but it has led to rampant security issues across the country. We're unsafe than ever before. Nobody is denying there's insecurity in Nigeria, people learning in American schools routinely get wiped off the face of the earth. Nigeria has so much going for it, we also have a lot of work to do with regards to insecurity, however the Nigerian situation is not helpless. There's a huge investment in infrastructure in Nigeria, from rail, health , roads and education, whether that investment comes from government or the private sector. There are more educated people in Nigeria today than there was in any point in our history. The armed forces that have fought the insurgents in the North East, will fight the insecurity through out the country. The Nigerian maxim which goes, "soldier come, soldier go but barracks go still remain" continues to be true till this day. |

Stormtrooper11: Noted. We've proffered solutions multiple times here but the Nigerian government and its passive population majority has refused to act whilst time runs out. Nigeria is a ticking time bomb. Nigeria is a ticking Time bomb with exports worth over $60 Billion, and an economy where crude oil only accounts for 15% of GDP that's worth nearly 500 billion dollars. Ok. |

Stormtrooper11: Noted. We've proffered solutions multiple times here but the Nigerian government and its passive population majority has refused to act whilst time runs out. Nigeria is a ticking time bomb. What solutions have you proffered that the Nigerian government has failed to implement? Please list them, let's see. Nigeria has been a ticking Time bomb, or so some of you like to say even before we gained independence. We were a ticking Time bomb during the time of Uthman Dan Fodio. We were a ticking Time bomb during the Aba women riots. We were a ticking Time bomb during the the civil war. We were a ticking Time bomb through out the various military coups. We were a ticking Time bomb during the matastine insurgency. We were a ticking Time bomb during the annulment of general elections in 1993. We were a ticking Time bomb during Abacha. We were a ticking Time bomb during the Niger Delta Insurgency. We were Time bomb when Boko Haram started during Yar'adua. We were a ticking Time bomb today. What has changed? All the bombs have come, gone and Nigeria has remained and moved on. We cannot all be alarmist in this country. |

Exnavyboy62: I think @AskiaHarem is right to some extent about the improved security issue. I mean the last time we heard of a bomb blast whether by suicide bombers or car bomb was during the GEJ administration. The terrorists have been reduced from a Boko Haram of almost 60,000 members to a group of nothing more than 200 bandits, but the bad news is that they are scattered all over the nation.
We don't even know if it's the Fulani people of Nigeria that wants to continue from where Uthman Dan Fodio stopped or Foreigners from Niger and Chad that were meant to be political thugs for the APC but have decided to prey on us all, the entire system is just politically sabotaged.
Pls I know I don't need to tell anyone to "VOTE PETER OBI" but I'm just reminding you to spread the word. I rest my case. I don't think the security situation is better today, than it was under President GEJ. What we have seen today is by far, a better investment in the Nigerian military, than GEJ and his cohorts would have dreamed up. There's a higher willingness by this current government to invest in security than the GEJ administration. The problem is, all that investment hasn't paid off. While insecurity under Jonathan and Yar'adua was the entire North East, the problem is now spread across the country. Also there's a higher probability to hold security agents to accountability now than under GEJ, Yar'adua or OBJ. Peter Obi is not the answer to Nigeria's security problems. He might have a better handle of the economy but there's no evidence that security will improve under him. Even the economy, how will he do it, what magic will he perform when Labour party will not control the Senate and House of Reps in a Peter Obi presidency. No state in Nigeria would lose elections to Labour party in Governorship and State house of reps elections. Are we expecting him to decamp to the PDP when he wins? How is he going to govern? |
