grandstar: There are still some painful reforms to go, notably the full deregulation of both the petrol price and that of electricity.
It is sad that the government seems to be following the import substitution model that has got the country nowhere.
Also, there as yet to be a cut in the company tax to 15% or lower. This would boost not only local investments but foreign. Low corporate taxes have proven to be game changers wherever they've been applied. They've brought fast growth to Central European economies. It also encourages companies to enter the formal economy rather than continue working in the shadows.
Government also needs to roll out a plan to privatize all government owned seaports and international airports. If not privatize, at least commercialise
Henry Cardoso should hike up interest rates from. 22.75 to at least 26%. This should boost the exchange rate to around $1 -N1,250.
what are the "painful reforms" you are referring to?
which "painful reforms" was doing for 8years that 8years after you are still talking of "painful reforms"?
where is it stated that reforms must be painful?
the people inflicting pain on Nigerians in the name of reforms, are they experiencing the pain of the reforms?
since the price of diesel and kerosene has been deregulated, pls what s the benefit thus far?
adabaraabdul: I like the way you offered solutions, your own opinion and alternative to the government. Most people just rant and complain, they never see or offer a solution to our problems.
first of all, is the government going to see the so called solutions he offered?
if the government sees it, will they do anything about it?
is he the one supposed to offer solutions to government?
what are those in government appointed and elected to do since it is solution from the electorate you are expecting they should have before they do their jobs?
benuejosh: We are enjoying your administration Mr President.
Those who never voted for you and those who feel their tribes man wasn't voted for are the ones increasing prices of commodities three times in a day (morning, afternoon and evening) just to spike their fellows against you. Else, how will the price of garri increase because of dollar? They say there's food scarcity yet when you go to the markets you see more than enough quantity of food stuff you're looking for but they say scarcity of food thereby increasing prices indiscriminately. Those people are just plain wicked Mr President.
We the people with sound mind understand that 9 months cannot perform magic. For policies to take full course it should be atleast 2 years for the full benefits. Any inconvenience from you now is appreciated as we believe it is just temporary and it is for our good.
Go after those sabotaging your efforts.
We believe in your administration and we strongly believe Nigeria be be better and heading to compete with countries like USA amd China after you've completed your two terms.
this is the same way you believed in Buhari for 8years that "Nigeria be be better and heading to compete with countries like USA amd China". why did buhari not achieve the things u believed you are expecting tinubu to do?
Babalegba: Both questions were answered in my posts.Put your thinking cap on,,get your pen ready and cogitate on it for five marks. I do like giving disObidients grief.
where in your post where they answered?
since you are not a "deekhead" and your English comprehension skill is above subpar, am still surprised that you can't answer simple questions.
1. is it "at school" or "in school"?
but since you passed English comprehension in school and your teacher did very well, then you shouldn't find this question difficult to answer.
2. in what way has he impressed you?
3. was "disobidients" you like to give grief part of the discussion?
4. who are the "disobidients" you like to give grief?
Babalegba: The corper that taught you has not got around to the subject of linguistic dexterity. Looking at the predicate and subject,I realized that syntax for you goes only one way but there are many ways to express yourself in English and in and at is used depending on syntax. To the main point though,my initial post answered your question succinctly. I will advise you to study it again so you'll be able to understand JAMB questions when you get to the examination hall. I like winding up disobedients
still leaves the following unanswered.

YoungLionken: Alex Otti has won the hearts of Nigerians and politically more important than any other, as a prospective presidential candidate..
I see a time coming, whereby political parties will look for candidates with street credibility and a man of the people recognized positively by the masses ...
anonymous1759: I remember when Fashola cleared Oshodi they said he’s witch hunting some tribe. This one Nigeria is causing so many rubbish if a governor tries to take drastic measures to clear things up tribal cards will start to play .
offpoint. what has that got to do with the question I asked?
is it because of illegal buildings that Lagos has "no sewage treatment, no pipe borne water , over 60 percent of it's inner streets are not paved , the roads are filled with beggars and touts"?
seunmsg: The problem is not even the organized Labour but Joe Ajaero who is a member of the opposition Labour Party. He’s the one using Labour to play opposition politics.
TUC made it clear they are not part of the recently flopped nationwide strike and protest because it was absolutely unnecessary since all the demands have been met.
The good thing about President Bola Tinubu is that he won’t shy away from a fight. Ajaero and his gang of Obidient supporters have been giving a long rope to pull and it’s time to call their bluff. They have now been warned. Respect yourself and allow the government to face governance in peace or face the consequences. If you want power, wait and contest in 2027. Enough of the disruption.
anonymous1759: If they decide you demolish illegal buildings causing that you’ll still complain

PHAYOL81: CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOUR IQ CAN'T PROCESS SIMPLE REPLY. YOU CAN ALWAYS PAY A TUTOR TO HELP YOU OUT. You cant think yourself and yet can't still understand explanation, I swear your case is unique.
with all your IQ, am surprised you cant answer simple questions.
PHAYOL81: HOW do you pass out of school if you can relate a reply with your questions? .
despite your emotional outburst, the questions still remain unanswered. kindly answer as enumerated.
1. so it is strictly because of SIMs not linked to NIN that kidnapping still persists?
2. are there SIMs that can make call that have not been barred from making calls?
3. we were told that NIN is needed to stop kidnapping, 419 and corruption.
how has NIN stopped these vices?
4. pls what has "obidient" got to do with the discussion?
PHAYOL81: HOW do you pass out of school if you can relate a reply with your questions?I bet even your kids would laugh off your level of IQ when they come of age to comprehend this discussion. They say you guys are illiterate but perhaps what they should've said is you're dumb. Damn! I'm getting ashamed now going this low with you. Better go pick your brain where you left it. You're already in bad light without it.

greatseed: If government is not doing well, you complain. When start doing well, you still complain. It's obvious most of your types are obviously daft & to be ignored henceforth. I advise all right thinking people on nairaland to ignore dis kind of pple. They will naturally keep shut if no one answers their stupidity. As for me, I have chosen to just look at them henceforth when they rant. It's very obvious they are below normal IQ level.
HomoDroid: [size=28pt]Negativism is an evil current! Are you cursing or praying for progress in Nigeria - Beware, most people end up getting what they wish for![/size]
is it cursing Nigeria that has made Nigeria as underdeveloped and disorgaised as it is or is it prayer that has made Sweden and Japan as developed and organised as they are today?
Calylove: Action and reaction are equal and opposite. Do this right and the government will wake up. This government is trying. Try your part by supporting. Steady power supply in Aba. CNG busses have come. I believe it will mark the beginning of a new day. A better future.
where is it written in the constitution that the citizens need to do the right thing before government carries out its responsibilities?
why does the government not do the right thing so that the people will wake up?
have you ever heard of social contract?
what exactly is the government "trying"?
which "steady power supply in Aba" are you referring to?
how is CNG buses "the beginning of a new day. A better future"?
where are the gas stations for the CNG buses?
according to you
Calylove: The launch of CNG-powered buses by the government is a positive step toward sustainable and environmentally friendly public transportation in Nigeria. Here are some actions you can consider to help the government:
Promote Public Awareness:
Spread awareness about the benefits of CNG-powered buses, including reduced air pollution, lower emissions, and cost savings. Utilize social media, community events, and educational campaigns to inform the public. Encourage Public Adoption:
Advocate for public support and encourage people to use CNG buses. Highlight the advantages, such as lower fuel costs, environmental benefits, and the positive impact on air quality. Provide Information:
Disseminate information about the locations of CNG fueling stations, bus routes, and schedules. Ensure that the public has access to all the necessary details for a smooth transition. Feedback Mechanism:
Establish a feedback mechanism for users to share their experiences and suggestions. This can help identify areas for improvement and ensure continuous enhancement of the public transportation system. Collaborate with Local Businesses:
Engage with local businesses to support and promote the use of CNG buses. This could involve partnerships for advertising, employee transportation, or other initiatives that benefit both the community and businesses. Support Infrastructure Development:
Advocate for the expansion of CNG fueling infrastructure to accommodate the growing demand. Work with the government and private sector to invest in additional fueling stations. Green Initiatives:
Promote the overall green and sustainable initiatives of the government. Encourage the use of clean energy not only in public transportation but also in other sectors, such as private vehicles and industries. Celebrate Milestones:
Celebrate milestones and achievements related to the CNG bus program. This could include commemorating the number of CNG buses in operation, environmental impact assessments, and other positive outcomes. Engage Local Communities:
Involve local communities in the decision-making process and planning of public transportation. Understand their needs and concerns, and address them to ensure a successful and widely accepted transition. Advocate for Policy Support:
Support and advocate for policies that promote clean energy and sustainable transportation. Engage with policymakers to ensure a supportive regulatory environment for the expansion of CNG-powered public transport. Educational Programs:
Implement educational programs in schools and communities to raise awareness about the environmental benefits of CNG and the importance of sustainable transportation. Monitor Air Quality:
Monitor air quality in the areas where CNG buses operate and communicate improvements to the public. This can help build trust and showcase the positive impact of the new initiative. By actively participating in and supporting the government's efforts to introduce CNG-powered buses, you contribute to the success of sustainable and eco-friendly public transportation in your community.
You can check my signature on ways to come out of this hardship.
if you can write all these, why cant you tell us all that the government is supposed to do for the citizens of Nigeria?
are politicians voted into power to be helped or to serve the people?
how is government helping the people?
how does Nigerians helping the government benefit Nigerians?
