Brotherly, you are right to an extent! But I would like to add security to your list. Because without a coordinated security architecture in place to self guard the local farmers producing food in the country, the other two points you made may not work effectively.

It is actually the other way round? Imported fuel (and other imports too) are putting pressure on the exchange rate.

This country is still fuel import dependent. It doesn't make sense but it is what it is.

Oil products (over three trillion Naira as at the end of first quarter of 2025) are still the second largest import category in this country. Our runaway inflation and the pressure on the Naira are not going anywhere - as long as we have this kind of upside down economy.

"..The lack of a functional Biometric Voters Registration (BVR) System accounts for much of the abuse of the current process. The debate over BVR goes to the fundamental quality of our elections.

With BVR we have a chance at honest elections. Without it, we are doomed to repeat past failures. This system was applied in Ghana. It worked. Other African countries – Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Kenya and Tanzania – used biometric registers and validation system for their general elections.
It worked.

If Nigeria truly is the leader and giant of Africa, let us act like it. If smaller nations can take this step to assume the continental lead in the quality and integrity of their electoral processes, let us regain the leadership role by taking the necessary step to embrace this system as well.

The objective of the data capture and finger printing is to eliminate multiple voting. However, INEC’s present system negates this. Why take fingerprints, capture biometric data and then discard the information on the all-important voting day by resorting to manual accreditation?

Unless INEC embraces biometric verification and revalidation during the exercise, our elections will remain more an exercise in deception and subterfuge than in democracy and probity.... "

Did you wait like this when your state conducted LG election . Abi you only want to hold Lagos to the standards you dare not hold your state and governor to

Tenisam:
That's why it's called grassroot election, it will be a shame and big slap on Tinubu and his cohorts if they can't sweep their Grassroots eoection. That shows they still have a strong hold at home. and it happens everywhere, you don't expect APC winning where there's a PDP governor, this shows the Governor is use!ess. Also it's a way for Sanwoolu to redeem himself after the bruhaha that happened during general election
