The oil in Ondo state belong to Nigeria, not Ondo state

If I invest 5.00 Naira on the productivity of something that is lying idle because the FG does not have d money. When it comes to fusion, I would take my 5.00 Naira back plus interest let us assume 2.00 Naira, all other revenues from my ventures would now be passed to the FG for distribution to the 36 states and Abuja.

The question is why are states not doing this kind of investment. Because it does not make sense for oil wells to be lying idle when states can invest in such assets.

Why can’t a state like Ondo State my state in invest in new oil wells. Instead of waiting for the FG to open up new oil wells why not state with the help of International organisations like shell explore opening up new oil wells.

Even though oil is in the exclusive list, states can borrow international funds open up new oil wells and get back their investment plus a top up and the rest be given to the FG for onward distribution to the other states in d federation.

Because it is embarrassing that we have idle oil wells and cannot supply our refineries. Look what Dangote Refinery is going through.

I am sure it would be a win-win for every body. 🤔

Akwa ibom state despite her wealth all you see on their roads are keke and okada plying their beautiful roads. I think they need to empower their people so that they can buy proper vehicles like mini buses & small cars instead of those ugly look moving automobiles.

When I look at the towns cities of Southern African countries I don’t see this ugly keke and okada’s.

There is something seriously wrong with Nigeria.

Sowere has earned his stripes, 30 years of Aluta continua- we should line up behind this man.

Sowere - not particularly new being around but has failed 3 times & probably 2 radical for the conservative politician. Being Yoruba E be like say Yoruba has her fair turn, abi I lie.

El Buba- we need hard a talker like him who I see a new kid on the block , perhaps Sowere can run under him as a vice player.


Prince Malik Ado Ibrahim - The Kogi born energy expert, the man knows his onions when it comes to energy or power NEPA. I am still baffled why d government has not invited him as a consultant.


Loud mouth Kenneth Okwonkon - You all know him does not need introduction, not sure atimes when I see him talk on national issues whether he was acting or for real . He is an eloquent propagandist.

Slow frail, nervous Obi- you all know Obi no need to sell him.

Give me new names so that we can support them well before 2027

Thanks

Sowore has always been my candidate.

But the fact you can't even spell his name correctly in the topic shows why he cannot win.

She na spelling we want chop, we need a functional country, can you imagine all those beautiful cities in Nigeria interconnected by rail. That would be el- dorado . In fact I am ready to support any forward thinking Nigerian. El buba from Borno State is another good Nigerian from North East Nigeria. That man is an inspiration. We need many people of such minds throwing their hats in the ring.

The fact that smaller, poorer and weaker nations are getting more tourists than Nigeria is wild.

Does tourist have a colour colo mentality if a white man does not clutch a couple of dollars in his hand that means we don’t have tourist. So all those Nigerians comming home are E gun gun calabar. Abeg go sleep.

Time we revisit this topic

Benue has become a killing field. I thought the secretary of the FG is from Benue.

Sladem05:
True but I still think it’s irrelevant as to whom have more hotels because that has nothing to do with GDP.

What’s the point of having hotels that are mostly empty and a non-existent tourist industry.

Nigeria is nowhere to be found on that tourist list. The only people visiting Nigeria are those in the diaspora. Otherwise, wtf would want to come to a country like that?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/261740/countries-in-africa-ranked-by-international-tourist-arrivals/

The reality is that the country’s GDP has halved not what you and the economist with 2 brain among eachother have said. IMF puts the GDP at around $250 billion.

The tourist in Nigeria are Nigerians in diaspora and a few millions come home every year with their dollars, pounds and Euros. And most stay in many of these hotels knowing there is no power in the country and any kind of moderate comfort can be got in this hotels.

Is it because you don’t see oyinbo’s trooping to Nigeria that u think there is no tourist in Nigeria. I once traveled to Namibia & d plane was 99% Germans going to Namibia. And I said to my fellow traveler a Black Namibian, your people don’t travel. I said if it was a flight to Nigeria it would be 99% blacks.

SmartPolician:
You were making sense until you got to the emboldened. After hijacking it, he will use his blokkos to fund his election 😂😂😂 Obi had to practically tour the world to solicit for funds for prosecuting his campaigns. Una think say presidential election na beans.

Listen, any politican who doesn't have the financial capacity and power to prevent politicians from rewriting the results cannot win presidential elections in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country with selective justice. Wike rewrote the will of the people in Rivers State and he is a minister now. Since Wike did that without consequences, APC will do worse things in 2027.

The only way to stop them is for the opposition to join forces and protect their votes. That's because the Supreme Court is utterly useless - anything that INEC declares during presidential elections, the judges will validate it and give their nonsensical reasons.

Don’t you think that loud mouth actor want to do, hijacker’s the Labour Party with himself not really having the pedigree. He is just a loud mouth pompous critic.

Aguogba:
Defies

Thank you

All I am saying is the 4 guys we have, have nothing to offer anyone. Tinubu, Kwankoso, Atiku and Obi. We need to chart a new way and a new person. Sowere seem to be longest guy in the trenches.

Kobojunkiee:
Peter Obi tried and failed in Anambra. We still have the record to show this. Obi's record as state Governor dey as mediocre as that of Tinubu. We also have records to prove that Atiku and Kwawanso are unqualified for the role of presidency. It makes more sense to hire a novice than to hire proven mediocres, don't you think?

I am not even advocating for the OP's choice;what I am vehemently against is the recycling of failures and/or criminals who only grace is granted them by their running to the Nigerian courts for salvation.

The list Obi could have done is make Anambra state a mini Rwanda, good sustainable development. But he did what all those fools are doing.

OfoIgbo:
Sowore was one of those that brought in Buhari. I don't think his judgement is tight.

We have had enough of all these simplistic reasons for being considered a material for the presidency. I remember the same argument was put forward for Buhari. We all were told how Buhari will get rid of corruption and corrupt people. Enough of that bullsh!t

Peter Obi is the right man for this job

Obi gets to the finish line but could not really grab it. Someone else need that momentum from now until 2027 so that by d time we are going for election the whole world would know it is a foregone conclusions.

SmartPolician:
You are still centuries away from reality.

Century in this social media time. Analogue man please wake up from your slumber. What 2023 elections told us is if u can market yourself very well to the people you would win.

SmartPolician:
Una think say leadership is going to the streets to protest.

If Sowore is serious, he should start from guber elections.

He cannot win president without having a political history in public service.

Nobody will give him the military to man without knowing his public service background.

We are social media age. Anyone can be president so long the people buy his idea.

How come this problem defiles solution.

EmeeNaka:
Who investigated Obi on the Pandora papers. Obi brought Anambra state out of dungeon during his 8 years reign. No governor has outperformed him in Anambra state. We know how Anambra was when he began to rule and how it was when he handed over.

Obi is weak. Can you remember Neville Chamberlain who signed a pact with Germany in 1939 that war would not break out with Britain only for Germany to start the invasion the very next day.

EmeeNaka:
it is not about Revolution. Sowore is an untested hand. Peter Obi has been a governor for 8 years and no single dent of corruption can be traced to him. He has never been investigated nor docked on any matter relating to corruption. Peter Obi is Nigeria best bet. Tribalism will kill Nigeria if Nigerians fail to act against it.

Obi’s frailty is already shown. You must fight for your Sowere has shown he is tiger for the last 30 years.

Tinubu was almost dragged in the neck to speak to the nation yet a younger more agile would formulate ideas off the cuff without thinking too much about and those idea would fly. Because in most cases they are common senscical

babasolution:
Nigerians especially the major tribes want elite rule from old MEN, which in turn later destroys them.

The major tribes have no glory in them.

They love slavery and were the most enslaved people in the history of the world

Can you imagine a nation without a census, we don’t know how babies are born in Zamfara or kebbi on a daily basis & yet we want to be developed.

Lumarstone:
Most of us on this platform are even better than Swore; are you not aware?

But I don’t know your antecedents. I know Sowere

One politician says if someone like Sowere becomes president 98% of our political leaders would scamper abroad. Why demonstrate un- necessary when we can bring them down through the democratic process.

If Saraki can be swept away in Kwara that tells me no one cannot be swept away. So let us do it.

The president has the right to choose anyone has his confidant. Your confidant can only be people you grew up with. Why would Mr President appoint someone from Kaura Namoda or Nnewi that he does not know.

Your confidant is “ say nothing see nothing “

Egypt 24,944

Hotel room is different from hotels.

To start with he rejected presidential salary unlike our Abacha’s & IBn

He rejected presidential new jeep opting for 2011 Toyota which he runs around with.

Look at Tinubu removing subsidies and de-regulation of the Naira yet nothing to show to soften the pains on the people. This young Captain bought thousand’s of tractors to till the ground and also bought mobile healthcares for equivalent of each & every LG


Fighting a purposeful war against jihadi’s and winning looks the only people winning in Nigeria are the war entrepreneurs.


Is hard to turn around a country. Look at subsidies the argument there was fraud in the system. So why not remove the fraud and make it work. Or does it mean APC & Tinubu is now perpetuating the fraud 🤔


Fix our Naira to the dollar


Anymore guys.

If we have plans our currencies should converge. For example Ghana is 16 to dollar, by removing two 00’s ours would be 15 to dollar while seirra leone is currently 23 to 1 .

This can be adjusted slightly so that having the eco could maybe realised.

Nigeria should revisit it . Removing two zeros from the current value whereby 1500 to 1 dollars would become 15 to 1

Ghana did in 2009, Seirra Leone did it just last July 2023 . What is stopping Nigeria from doing it.

Trump is a bully just call by his name.
