so if they decide not to do it what can you do? Some of you just sound woke while you are efulefu, pack well joor.

that is why is he said

Risingblue008:
Having a good road channel is our right.

stop thinking that they are doing us a favour

Or do you think having good roads is a favor the government is doing for you?

happney65:
Even in Europe and America them dey celebrate road construction not to talk of us that is a developing Nation.

No just dey talk because you can talk. We are a developing Nation and things like this will continue for a very very long time to come because more construction and more roads will have to be done

Which road was constructed in Europe and america that was celebrated?

phemray:
That same placards and coffin was carried for Tinubu @ # end bad governance protest and nothing happens because it was a protest. But calling a sitting president a criminal is a direct assault and you guys call it freedom of speech? DSS knows where they are going by following those steps and u guys will soon cry foul. Thank God he is same tribe with the president and u will not shout tribalism.

Direct assault on who?

What assault is that?

If a person who is supposed to be a custodian of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria, continuously disregards, disobeys and operates outside of the provisions of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria, is that person not a criminal or is there any other name you will call that person?

Wolexyoshi:
When Dem lock this dude behind bars now, those hailing him will begin to dey shout JUSTICE FOR SOWORE.

No one singlehandedly fight government and win.

Sowore should know this and know peace!

More than a 100 Nigerians were killed by boko haram, bandits and kidnappers in the last few days.

Why has the DSS not locked up these killers?

Bar1941:
This Unilag SUG president is just seeking cheap relevance.

Why then is the DSS giving him that "cheap relevance"?

If someone post something about tinubu on Facebook/twitter, is it now the job of DSS to be writing to Facebook/twitter that they do not like what the person wrote?

More than a 100 Nigerians were killed by boko haram, bandits and kidnappers in the last few days. Why is the DSS not bothered about that?

Why is it not looking for those killers?

Burob:
Indeed, for the people that don’t want to work for themselves story.

Are you referring to tinubu?

phemray:
All u stated are not created by government and u know that. These are characteristic of an average Nigerian when given simple opportunity. It's in the blood and nothing can stopped it permanently. Tinubu is even trying by making policies to reduce all these. Check 199 till date if what u stated are not in existence at higher %.

that is not what I asked you.

phemray:
What was the status of Internet during Jonathan? Compare to today. Because Jonathan was weak and not in charge, he allowed Many wrong that make Nigerians to see talking anyhow as the right thing of today.

1. what do you mean by "status of internet"?

2. how was jonathan weak and not in charge?

3. since tinubu is not weak and is in charge, HOW has he successfully tackle corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

I’m not sure what gave you the impression that I am here to engage in a verbal contest with someone I do not know. This is a public forum— a topic was posted, and I simply shared my opinion. You are, of course, free to share yours, but attempting to drag me into unnecessary exchanges is neither productive nor of interest to me.

I reiterate, I’m not here to trade words or indulge in needless back-and-forth with someone I do not know. If you disagree, you’re entitled to your own perspective, but do not mistake that as an invitation to challenge mine.
Share your view and move on.

phemray:
Unfortunately u will not be there to face the consequences with him. How dare you call a sitting president a criminal? They should just showed him the criminality by firing his two legs. Nothing will happen. Is Sowore a Saint? Nonsense talks.

why did DSS not go and fire the legs of Boko Haram, bandits and kidnappers that killed over a 100 nigerians in Borno, Kwara, Edo and Kaduna in the last 3days?

badoh:
Criticize Tinubu from now till they Kingdom come, that doesn't erase the fact that you're a failure in politics. It is not a must you must be president, you lack national appeal both in the north and the south and you think you can become the president. If truly you want to make a change, start as a councillor, local government chairman or at worst house of rep member and let's see your impact. If you can mobilize people in your senatorial district to vote for you and win and you can give those senators wotowoto by exposing them and their atrocities, that's when people will know you're actually fighting for them. However, this name calling and using derogatory names on the president of your country as if you're not cultured is what I don't subscribe to. You're free to criticize the office of the president and his policies but calling him useless is uncalled for and no one in his right senses will support you on this.

is there anything Sowore said about tinubu that is not true?

talk2odim:
You must be either a troublesome individual or meddlesome interloper! Neither of which I have any taste for.

Again, and this time read slowly, share your opinion and move on......

thats not what I asked you. you failed to answer the simple questions.

My guy you are sounding confused o sincerely. That robot was built by private individuals, what has he got to do with the provisions of social services.
That was not a government project.

off point.

if you do not where "provision of social services" comes, what then were you initially responding to?

which of the questions below asked you about whether the robot was built by private individuals or whether or not it is a government project?

How does this stops the production of foods or the provisions of security? This prototype was designed and done by the private individuals, so why can't you reason

Hopefully, the robotics industry in Nigeria is beginning to take shape, marking a good start for a sector that holds immense potential. With the rise of technology-driven solutions, robotics is gradually moving from concept to practical application in areas such as education, manufacturing, and healthcare.

I hope this can be built upon.

Softmirror:
This is just sad. Very sad! Who is trying to prove a point about Kaduna?

what point is DSS trying to prove by running after Sowore on twitter and facebook?

is it the job of the DSS to be writing to facebook or twitter about what a nigerian citizen posts on those platforms?

is that a judicious use of the resources of the DSS while nigerians are being slaughtered?

meanwhile, this is what tinubu thinks about insecurity

SuperEagles:
The funny thing is they keep shouting Tinubu as borrowed Nigeria lifetime away but ask them to provide details of loan Tinubi took since he becane president them no go fit talk again.

June 9, 2023 – $750 million (World Bank)
Purpose: Power Sector Recovery Performance-Based Operation to boost electricity access and reliability. Financed by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development ($449 million) and the International Development Association ($301 million). Only $1.12 million had been disbursed by July 31, 2024.

June 26, 2023 – $500 million (World Bank)
Purpose: Nigeria for Women Program Scale-Up (NFWP-SU) to enhance women’s economic empowerment. Disbursement details are not fully specified in available data.

July 13, 2023 – $800 million (World Bank)
Purpose: National Social Safety Net Programme to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal. Approved by the Senate, this loan was initially part of a plan under former President Buhari but executed under Tinubu.

October 23, 2023 – $3.45 billion (World Bank)
Purpose: Approved by the Federal Executive Council, this package included funding for power sector projects, renewable energy, states’ resource mobilization, adolescent girls’ education (AGILE), and women’s empowerment. Specific breakdowns include $700 million for AGILE and other allocations not fully detailed in single figures.

November 2023 – $1 billion (African Development Bank)
Purpose: Concessionary loan to finance budget deficits and improve foreign exchange supply.

June 13, 2024 – $2.25 billion (World Bank)
Purpose: Two projects:
Nigeria Reforms for Economic Stabilization to Enable Transformation (RESET) Development Policy Financing (DPF) – $1.5 billion (with $751.88 million disbursed by July 31, 2024) to boost fiscal revenues and social safety nets.
Accelerating Resource Mobilization Reforms Program-for-Results (PforR) – $750 million for tax and revenue reforms.

September 26, 2024 – $1.57 billion (World Bank)
Purpose: Three loans for health, education, and power projects:
$750 million for power sector enhancements.
$500 million for women’s empowerment.
$320 million (plus other funding) for education and health initiatives.

March 31, 2025 – $1.08 billion (World Bank)
Purpose: Recently reported to strengthen human capacity through better healthcare, though specifics on disbursement and exact project allocation are limited as of now.

Pending 2025 – $2.23 billion (World Bank)
Purpose: Six planned loans under discussion, as reported in February 2025, to further economic and infrastructure projects. These are not yet finalized or disbursed as of April 5, 2025.

November 29, 2023 – $7.8 billion + €100 million (External Borrowing Plan)
Purpose: Part of the 2022-2024 borrowing plan approved under Buhari but sought by Tinubu for infrastructure, agriculture, health, education, and security. At the exchange rate then (around N900/$), this equated to roughly N7.1 trillion. Approval status and disbursement remain partially unclear in real-time data.

Total Approved Loans (to date): Approximately $6.45 billion (World Bank alone, as of October 2024) plus additional sums like the $3.45 billion FEC-approved package, $1 billion from AfDB, and the $7.8 billion + €100 million plan, pushing the total sought or secured to over $20 billion. However, disbursement lags significantly, with only about 16% of some World Bank loans (e.g., $774.99 million of $4.95 billion) released by July 2024.

Note: Exact totals vary due to pending approvals, partial disbursements, and fluctuating exchange rates. Some loans are conditional, requiring project milestones for full release.

2. List of Visible Developmental Projects Funded with the Loans
Tracking specific projects funded by these loans is challenging due to delays in disbursement, limited real-time reporting, and the broad nature of stated purposes. Below are projects explicitly linked to the loans or mentioned in government statements, though “visibility” (tangible outcomes) is not always fully documented as of April 5, 2025:

Power Sector Enhancements
Loan: $750 million (June 2023) and $750 million (September 2024).
Project: Expansion of electricity access via the Power Sector Recovery Operation and Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-Up. Aims to connect 90 million off-grid Nigerians.

Visible Outcome: Limited progress reported; only $1.12 million disbursed from the first loan by mid-2024, suggesting slow implementation. No widespread grid improvements noted yet.

National Social Safety Net Programme
Loan: $800 million (July 2023).
Project: Cash transfers and support for vulnerable households post-fuel subsidy removal.
Visible Outcome: Over N570 billion released to states for livelihood support by August 2024, benefiting 600,000 nano-businesses with grants. An additional 400,000 are targeted, but specific impacts (e.g., poverty reduction) are not widely quantified yet.

Adolescent Girls’ Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE)
Loan: $700 million (October 2023).
Project: Education support for girls in 11 states, expanding from 7 states where enrollment rose from 900,000 to 1.6 million girls.
Visible Outcome: Increased school attendance in states like Borno and Kano, though insecurity hampers full rollout.

Nigeria for Women Program Scale-Up
Loan: $500 million (June 2023) and $500 million (September 2024)
Project: Economic empowerment initiatives for women.
Visible Outcome: Limited specifics; aims to improve livelihoods, but no major completed projects highlighted yet.

Economic Stabilization and Resource Mobilization (RESET and PforR)
Loan: $2.25 billion (June 2024).
Project: Fiscal reforms, social safety net expansion (targeting 67 million Nigerians), and agricultural boosts (e.g., cultivating 10 million hectares).

Putindbutt:
Obidients and fake news are like 5 & 6. The worst opposition in the history of Nigeria.

exactly. dont mind them.

do you not think the DSS should start writing to all the owners of social media platforms to take down their posts like the way they are handling Sowore?

is that not a wonderful use of DSS time and resources?

meanwhile, is dailytrust now "obidient"?

if the promotion exams recorded low success rate, is it not pertinent to check how most of these personnel got into the service?

The title is misleading. He is not a Tinubu supporter and never said he supports him. He only said he will vote for Tinubu if the party of the person he's arguing with selects Obi as their flag bearer.

Not a very thoughtful statement though because it can be easily mistranslated as it was in this case. But the title is misleading.

are you saying that adeyanju says he will work to bring back tinubu just because he wants to prove a point against peter obi?

CoronaVirusPro:
TDS- Tinubu Deficiency Syndrome

They always happy and eager to call the name of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Anyone that opposes them works for Tinubu and getting paid.

I myself have been accused of such on this forum and have learnt to just ignore.

They always forget we still have patriotic Nigerians in millions who stand for the truth.

are you one of these patriotic nigerians who stand for the truth?

if you are, tell me the truth how has tinubu improved the living standard of nigerians since may 2023 till date?

is nigeria now a better place to live under tinubu than it was previously?

is tinubu one of those patriotic nigerians who stand for the truth?

Two things can solve rhe effectively

1. Use of Technology, drones and communication. They have precision, they lost no blood, they don't need to understand the terrain, they don't have emotions.

2. Use of Foreign Mercenaries whose work and MoU is to fight rhe war. They don't need pensions, they are not growing career, they are not taking orders from a long chain. They have time and targets

are the guns that soldiers and boko haram are using not technology?

who will be in charge of the drones and communication?

COMPAQ:
I can tell you that there is no one who collects rental income on residential or commercial property as an individual that will willingly decalre it as additional income and pay tax on it.

We were all happy to chop that money because the government couldn't track us. Now with access to your consolidated bank inflows and outflows via BVN, they will see certain credits in your account that you can't explain away. So you may not get assessed on those incomes.

that is not what I asked you.

COMPAQ:
Be reminded that this government did not increase any single tax. All it is doing is ensuring the mechanisms are in place to faithfully implement what it has failed to implement all these years. So in actual facts you guys have been ripping off the government for decades by not paying what you should pay.

1. Who are the "you guys" you are referring to?

2. What are "you" supposed to pay that they didn't pay?

3. Is government innocent of ripping off?
