Holland - 1 trillion dollars a very small country probably the size of Oyo state.

Belgium - 500 billion dollars a small country the size of Kogi. If it were in Africa it would be the largest economy in Africa.

Ireland $500 billion if it were a country it would be the largest economy in Africa. A country the Size of Benue state.

We know try at all for Africa. This things need to be done ASAP

Buy Nigeria, stop buying Japanese cars and German cars

Stop importing foods plant what we eat

Cut down the size of civil servants so that we can give them a living wage. Do you know if you work as a teacher in SA or Namibia you would get a wage 4 or 5 time our minimum wage.

Stop all imports and look inwards.

China practically consumes what it produces we can do it too.

May God bless Nigeria.

Of all the promises that Tinubu made I remember him saying people should be paid a handsome wage hourly instead of a daily pay that is prevalent amongst the tradesmen like your brick layers, carpenters etc

Because some jobs might just take 3 hours to do and as long as there is a good hourly rate people would be able to make a living doing those jobs.

Now the FG is finding it difficult to pay 100,000 Naira a month despite a depreciation of the Naira by 3 times.

I think so far the NW part of Nigeria and NE part ravaged by Boko haram and bandits has drawn Nigerian downwards. This 2 regions cannot even send their kids to schools to start with.

What are you expecting after allowing young men to be uneducated for 20 years . The results are the dire economy in these areas.

Even Kano city the so called wealthiest city in northern Nigeria cannot sustain a shopping mall making shop right to close shop.

Meanwhile Ibadan City has about 5 malls all still operational.

As long as those 2 regions don’t train their youths we shall remain the poverty capital of Africa.

Na wah oh!

Why can't the deposed emir pack out honorably
like Sanusi yrs back

He should have been banished just like sanusi.

WizardOfNG:
Excellent observations and comments. More autonomy, power and funding for the 774 local governments of Nigeria is the only way most Nigerians will ever see development.

For example, we all complain against Tinubu about bad roads in our locality yet what we fail to grasp is that good roads will remain a wish forever if local government leaders are not genuinely empowered, and then held to account, to make a different at local Government level.

FG will never usually get involved with road construction at State level let alone local Government level. Ditto many other essentials like healthcare etal. The 774 local government area, because it is where we all reside in, must be empowered by all means possible to be a far greater contributor to overcoming the problems of Nigerians where they live and work.

Tinubu's and the FG's current court case against States 'imprisonment' of local governments corresponds with the conclusion and thinking of OP.

This is why I rate Tinubu as an effective visionary who has no time for providing fish when he knows enduring solutions, that fosters the greatest progress and development, comes from teaching the populace to fish. Reform of the role and leadership of local governments of Nigeria is crucial.

Do you know the municipality are in charge of running water in South Africa. But in Nigeria some idiotic Obidient wants Tinubu to give them water.

CilicMarin:
Brainless obidiotss will start donating to him now..E don use lie press their mumu button.

A whole Ghanian Refugee is bragging with non existent 3rd or 4th Passport...Hunger don waya am tire for outside shelter..

A bunch of myrmidons( Apologies to Wole Soyinka).

So obidients are real mumu.

Paraman:
You wan't to keep on giving Nigerians fake news like Tinubu didn't graduate from CSU

Imagine him coming out with all that cock bill stories. He is with his 3rd GF. If his women cannot stand his bullshiiiiit why would Nigerians. He should go and work like Abati, Rufai and others that are doing a honest job.

But come to think of it oh. Is IBB trying to be smart by half. Telling a lie against a dead man knowing that a dead man cannot bite.

David should go & find a proper job & stop spilling out all his unfounded contraptions in the name of investigative journalism. He is a conspiracy theorist.

tishbite42:
It was obvious the whole North, military and political, were against MKO Abiola their so-called friend
Chai

It is the fear of Nigeria’s really true dictator, tell me one Emir who would go against Abacha.

The fear of Abacha is the binginning of wisdom. Once Abacha says I don’t want it, I don’t think any sane man would go ahead with such prospect.

MEEVEET:
Firstly lack of land or food is not part of the problem I listed

And thinking food prices is what drives inflation shows the level of knowledge u have

Government should have no business in running business

Most of you Nigerians are just socialist

Mr man take eye out commot for centre and face your Governor squarely.

Tinubu‘d foot soldiers come 2027. I bet he would win in the Supreme Court.

Mvnster:
If the governors decide to enforce compulsory education to tertiary level in their states do you think the problems you listed above would still exist? Charity begins at home, the foundation on which the country is operating is faulty, you cant start building a house from the roof. The local govt and state govt are the problems in reality.

Thank you sir, let them be obsession over what is happening in the centre. Silly Atiku cannot stop his Governor appointing 200 special advisers but would raise hell when Tinubu makes any decision.

MEEVEET:
Which school did you go to?

Point out what is wrong in my argument? Does FG have land.

DMerciful:
Did anybody voted for Gowon? Show me a single person that voted for Gowon

Senegal's president is just starting, lets see how he'll perform. Besides, I don't know his history

The Senegal guy was like Sowere in Nigeria anti- establishment, anti-Neo colonialism, anti France.

DMerciful:
Sowore has not held an elective position before so it will not be wise to start with president! There's no precedence to judge him with

What precedent does the President of Senegal have. Or even our Yakubu Gowon in 1967.

DMerciful:
Have you asked yourself why the political elites are unanimous in their attack against Obi?

They know whats coming!

If you are looking for a saint then look towards Sowere. Not tainted Obi. At least Sowere has never held any position and we cannot judge him.

FatherCHRISTMAS:
I can host you and show you around when you are back

Leave that side. U don see Mugu!

DMerciful:
Why do you think the generality of the elite class ganged up against Obi?

They know whats coming when he succeeds

Stop making Obi look like a messiah, a man that could not carry out a simple task as conducting a LG elections. Not to talk of his aides caught with 250 million in Lagos on their way to some beaureu de change.

DMerciful:
When Obi becomes president 2027, these excuses wont arise. You'll see how corrupt politicians will be dealt with

With military fiat. Abegeee

SalamRushdie:
Another thread to blame the 1 year of zero achievement by Tinubu on others ..Face it Tinubu has spent 365 days and has not improved a single point of Nigerian lives but rather has worsened it by 400 percent

Face it your Governor has spent one year in office. How many industrial farm settlements has he opened. At least we see the things Tinubu is doing.

DMerciful:
Won't they seek reelection? If the process of electing these governor is credibke, they can easily be fired by the people.

They're looting because they know that they can easily rig the elections

They normally conduct their ingenious schemes in their second term. If you see the flyovers and under pass built by Fintiri in his first term you will say oh boy this is the best thing since slice bread.

DMerciful:
Your intention for this thread is not noble!

Who does the anticorruption agencies ultimately reports to?

Governors have immunity until the Governor is out of office. So at d moment your so called anti corruption agencies can only hold fire until such a time it is possible to apprehend.

DMerciful:
A president can stop corruption governors from emerging by conducting free, fair and credible elections.

The system will not allow criminals to be governors if it is credible and transparent because the people know the criminal aspirants

Is a President a soothsayer to know a would be Governor would be a looter. For example Osun State Adeleke won fair and square but if it happens he starts looting through frivolous schemes like appointing 10000 SA no president can stop that.

OmotolaDeniro:
A friend of mine spent 150k for a rent of a self contain that has it's own toilet and bathroom.... when you talk about investment, you have to make a surgery of the needs of the people over there and then capitalized into it

I think the reason why landmark beach did not take the offer Akwa Ibom is the buying power of the people. They are impoverished despite being a rich state. But Lagos with her 25 million population is an investment heaven for any would be investor.

MEEVEET:
Some of you just open mouth waah no research, no study.. I can't even google

Just open mouth waah... Just because it sounds fashionable

List the top 5 troubles facing nigeria now let's see how many is under the jurisdiction of the governor

Is Insecurity governors work?
How about inflation?
How about unstable exchange rate
Bad monetary policies?
Oh general lack of production

No body is complaining of roads, schools, hospitals right now those are the jobs of the governor

Only insecurity is the one that is not under a Governor purview. The rest is actually under d Governor’s purview since the states are the ones with the land. A serious Govenor should have hectares of farmlands criss crossing their states hence there would be plenty of food pushing down inflation.

Once there is too much there would be enough to export thereby strengthen the Naira. Exchange wahala sorted.

Production is down to state governments to provide enabling environment where private people can set shops and companies engaging in meaningful production. Production sorted, chikena!!!

stanliwise:
No need to wish, it is not part of their plan.

Meanwhile it was 50,000 not 5000

50,000 Wike don kill River’s State

Sanya Olu when he was seeking 2nd term if you invite am to party he go show face. This is 2nd term has been a sham and shame.

OmotolaDeniro:
AkwaIbom is expensive to stay o. It's no different from Port Harcourt now. I have friends who served there and they can attest to this. Though the city is beautiful but no jobs

How much is a 3 bedroom house for a year. Akwa ibom is coming up and not peaked like Lagos , Abuja & PH. If one want to invest and see returns investment I think it is a place to be.

If Landmark beach does not want to invest their let me go and invest their.
