OP let's be serious and leave bias or politics out of this... Both Tinubu and Obi spent 8 years as Governor can you please tell us who is a better governor between the 2?

What legacy projects or investments the 2 left in their states that the state is still making huge dividends from?

How did the 2 of them met their states IGR, and what did they do to generate more revenue for their respective states?

After answering these questions then you should know who you will employ to manage your fathers moribund company,

They won't refuse if they were taught well. That's our collective problem!

Use your brain bro

It was probably built with public looted/stolen funds so the owners aren’t losing, after all it’s not their sweat
Corruption

AntiChristian:
Your question has been answered entirely!

Good parenting would emphasize taking responsibility so they won't refuse....

Internet is available....apparently the little I tried to direct you is "off point".

With all the resources on the internet, you should be able to research and come up with answers. Come on man, just type FUEL SMUGGLING VENEZUELA into Google. It's that easy, you don't need me....or you can look at my comment record, or that of @Nairalanda.

Good Luck to Nigerians

The terrorists are from amongst us. If your parents trained you and your siblings well and mine do their own as well as others there won't be terrorists anywhere!

IbeOkehie:
EXACTLY, but human nature is such that every subsidy will bring CORRUPTION. That's is the case in EVERY COUNTRY in the world.

Exactly!!! You made the case for abolishing all subsidies. Because there are no sincere men or women anywhere!

Thanks.

Good Luck to Nigeria

Nairaland is a discussion forum. Seek out reputable journals on business and economics. Read Businessday and Investing. Watch free relevant videos on YouTube. You will find basic answers to the questions that encompass everything.

Price controls on rent...this one is loading right now in Lagos

The basic answers to these things is FREEDOM. Government is the opposite of freedom and thus government should be suppressed as much as possible and restricted to the core essentials of government...security, issuing currency and roads. Note that technology has advanced to the point now that government doesn't need to issue currency or manage money, so that should transitioned to private too...a la bitcoin.

For example, there should be no government schools or universities or factories or hotels or refineries. The should be no law on wages.

Leave people alone to do whatever they want as long as they don't trample on the rights of others. Trade is a basic freedom that should be encouraged, not suppressed.

I encourage you to read widely. You'll be glad you do because your mind will be at rest as you understand why things are the way they are. Some things can't be helped.

Good Luck to Nigerians

You've been told multiple times...VENEZUELA and LIBYA and others.

Alhamdulillah for your life!

God punish all kidnappers and terrorists!

IbeOkehie:
I'm not going to fall into the trap of trying to convince you of things that have been written over and over on this thread. All you will do is keep bring out one question after another. My advice is to try researching these subjects on the internet.

When did Diamond Bank collapse? Now I know you're trolling. Enjoy your weekend.

Good Luck to Nigerians

casualobserver:
I have been consistent. Check the dates some as far back as February

The title of this thread is exactly why I am against any form of fuel subsidy. We will eventually get back to where we were with inflated consumption numbers and where we end up subsidizing petrol for our neighbours. You cannot have petrol subsidies in a nation that has porous borders when your neighboring countries sell petrol at a rate 2x ours. If Niger, chad, Benin and Cameroun can pay N1200 for petrol then so can we, their citizens are poorer or just as poor as us and they are not rioting because petrol is N1200.

IbeOkehie:
You've been told multiple times...VENEZUELA and LIBYA and others. Anyone can pull up their history on the internet and be informed.

@Nairalanda is completely correct, except he tries to fake some kind of neutrality by blaming PDP. Thank goodness he's slowly trying to accept the obvious, that PDP at least tried to do the right thing.

Price controls and subsidies are dangerous. All the debate about why smuggling stopped last year and now resumed, NNPC corruption and so on is a useless distraction. Privatize all companies and resources and deregulate all prices and the market will function smoothly.

Take an example. There's lots of controversy about the sale or merger of OVH to NNPC or whatever. All kinds of accusations everywhere.

Notice when Diamond Bank collapsed and it was bought by Access Bank, there was zero such controversy.

Lesson - keep government away from owning or controlling business because it CAUSES corruption that affects the public purse. If NNPC and OVH were both private nobody would give a damn.

I suspect you're very young though. It's always like that.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Produce more to crash prices. Too many office workers.

dinge:
She must he working with the Bandits

Bovis:
He was actually paid as an influencer by Obidients to endorse Obi.

All that bragging about we no dey give shishi nah trash

Gullible Obidients were literally swindled through their donations by the likes of falz, Mr Marcaroni, and K10. All those guys are just hustlers without any ideology

Difrent:
He has rights to his own thoughts and actions, he shouldn't be forced to take his mothers political views

But Obidiensts started this and we warned them then of the effects . You can't want everybody to vote for your candidate and those who don't are tagged igbos haters , targeted in cyber attacks ,bullied online and offline , blackmailed , their businesses destroyed , their endorsements cancelled ..... All because they want to exercise their right to freedom of choice just the way the Obidiensts are exercising theirs. No now , you don't do that In a democracy

madridguy:
No lie or hating here. OBJ would rather fly helicopter to his Otta farm.

Abule egba/ Abeokuta road is the reason many Ogun State people hates him till today.

Let them use this same coordinated tactic to arrest yaya Bello na

seunmsg:
Good one. The Police should thoroughly investigate him and prosecute him diligently. That dude has committed so much crime against the state and it’s time he’s punished for his crime.

He called himself breeze that can’t be arrested and the stupid breeze is currently enjoying adulterated breeze in FCID facility

Max24:
Hope Obi is paying you well?

Max24:
Help us tell Obi to appeal to Otti to stop paying the outdated #20,000 minimum wage. At least Tinubu offered to pay #70,000 without labour going on strike. Anambra doctors were on strike for a year under Peter Obi as gov of Anambra. The same man is now criticising Tinubu. Is that not senseless?

Max24:
Imagine how much Nigeria would spend if the president had to travel on chartered aircraft that is not Nigeria's. Does it not make economic sense that we bought our own aircraft. The aircraft is a tool to bring more prosperity to Nigeria.

TEYA:
My brain is for me alone, I will not use it to think for you. Use your God -given brain to read and answer your question.

Max24:
Okay, you are just wasting my time.

The aircraft is a tool to bring more prosperity to Nigeria. People like Obi are arm- chair critics who have never delivered development to their people as he is penny wise but pounds foolish. Don't mind them jare, the Jagaban !

Realdeals:
Subsidy should be predicated on the surplus of resources, which should be brought about by increased productivity especially of the citizens. The bolded answer 1-2

nairalanda1:
It is because we don't do what the USA and UK do.

Do that, then we can see some benefits.

But because you think I am an APC supporter, you keep on asking questions

Well, I cannot help the blind wey no wan see, see
