I have always known this. If we fix power and sustain current efforts of Umahi on road infrastructure and boost production, we will lead Africa
God bless Nigeria, my Father's Land

I think European transfer window has closed, so I'm not looking in that direction. He's probably heading for Middle East

European transfer window won't affect him, he's not leaving any European Clubs

Why arrest before investigation? I don't trust Women on these claims of rape, it may be that he didn't settle her properly. So many Men have suffered false allegations

Very well. I graduated from University of Lagos and also mostly work on the Island

You will agree that's not a decent place to leave. My issues with Government is the poor relocation and rehabilitation arrangement

If you Tell this APC wicked souls to pay Nigerian workers a good living minimum wage, they will say no that the economy is struggling . But here they are flexing an imported woman in a private jet and rubbing it on our faces.

Tinubu and his wicked souls in APC must be kicked out in 2027.

But same workers will still collect one congo of rice to vote them!
If you ask me, na who I go ask?

How is this good news? By their remark we will know all these tribal bigots on Nairaland

So if my views doesn't align with yours, that means I'm a bigot? I leave you with your thoughts.

reddingtonblack:
Then lets talk about the state of economy, pre Tinubu administration 1. Naira had better value , 2. local manufacturers and farmers were more in business, 3. Banks Business loans interest were feasible n viable @least, 4. most companies were dependant on National grid which resonate good revenue flow to discos
5. Pre Tinubu reforms consumption rate was optimal, i.e more turnover to business

That claared, what you dont know you dont know. Capitalist economy best capture Tinubu Regime ... as such a low revenue does not impede " creating Enabling" environment because that is what is needed most " sound policies" that compel or promote "productivity" E.g For a Nigeria heavily dependant on raw material increasing import duties is counterproductive

Despite Tinubu spending $37billion on travels to look for investor ... FDI is static yet people like you want us to believe no money

Now we have high Revenue according to Tinubu buh we cant even run one budget successfully, now we run 3 budget con currently , no matter how much you try you can't package poop to smell nice

$37billion on travels, and you believe that? And I'm here engaging with you! I drop off

smartkester:
Are you sure you're really a Nigeria or you just want to unnecessarily defend this government.

Let's start with the past government. Buhari's government borrowed billions to fund a rail project from Katsina to Niger, where's the project and the money borrowed today? Buhari's government borrowed money to start Nigeria air, where's the project today or the money?. These are just few of capital projects that monies were borrowed for but were embezzled.

Tinubu's government has started borrowing too and we all know they won't utilise these monies. These monies would still be looted. Except you don't want to accept the truth, Nigeria government borrows to embezzle and nothing more. In fact, they mostly borrow to fund operational expenses and not capital projects.

The flip of your argument is that citizens should not expect government to do anything because of the fear of corruption. That won't help. I'm not the spoke person for this government and like I said earlier today, I didn't even vote either PBAT or Obi, I voted someone else completely. But I have been a proponent of the current line of reforms for over 25years and clearly believed the long it takes us the long for economic recovery. What Nigerian wants is a welfarist government where citizens will get everything free, but tell which country has ever developed based on such model. Institutional check and balances with citizens holdings leadership accountable is the only solution to Corruption.
On the rail you mentioned, Government should have simply limit themselves to the construction of the rail lines and thereafter concession the coaches to private sectors operators like the Young Shall Grow, Peace Motors and other interested Nigerians to run. Examples is the exit of government in running an airline, stay with making rules and regulations while private sectors runs the show, it generates more value.
So the rail is not optimizing because Government are still holding what's not their business. May be I should let you know that both Heathrow Airports and British Airways are not own by the British Government.
Most of the Road in Nigeria are good candidates for tolling.
All the airports in Nigeria should be privatized, all our Ports should be privately owned.
It was a complete disaster when Yaradua reversed the privatization of the Refineries and the outcomes are glaring, we screamed and shouted, but Nigerians and Labour and special interests frustrated it. See the outcome

reddingtonblack:
You think You can seperate Tinubu political act from Tinubu reform policies please pap water is pap

That an objective look into what Tinubu call " Reforms" asides being politically driven they are mostly " counter productive" Let me share light

Tinubu came up with reforms in the Energy sector, they said subsidy no longer sustainable n that gave birth to Band A ... cost effect tariff BuT 2yrs down the line ... Same govt is not only tellin us there is subsidy they begging for state support ...all that sacrifice n pain we will even Need state intervention or we risk another high tariff

See you can put a cart before the horse nd expect progress, Tinubu ought to have hit the ground running with Productivity based economy campaign not Tax regime

After impoverishing the people and making your currency worthless how do you achieve a productivity based economy ... how ??

startup and overhead cost requires fortune in today Nig. Bank interest are sucidial so how will Tinubu reform facilitate Productivity based economy ... All i see is gimmicks of how to extort Nigerians in every way

Unfortunately your argument forgot the state of Nigeria when the reforms began. How will you fund the enabling of the productive base with negative revenue? I don't get your argument, you must have money before you can spend and that's exactly what he's done, fix the revenue gaps and then begin fixing the productive pillars such as energy, road infrastructures, massive investment in human capital development (education, healthcare etc) and Security. You need money to do all that.
Now the funding pipeline are there now, we should jointly put pressure on him to perform.
Remember that this government is barely 3years in Government and have done its part.
Forget that guy in the Ministry of Power o, PBAT should have keep and support El Rufai and figure out how to cure his divisiveness, he only has the madness required to fix the Energy Sector, I missed El Rufai personalty in that sector. The guy currently there now na minus one. That sector hasn't lived to expectations in all respect, 2/10 for me

Which school in Nigeria is using the book?

reddingtonblack:
You seriously asking me how is it the Fault of Tinubu led govt ... $1/1400 and 1litre fuel is almost close to our highiest currency

You want to go down the " blame past" route .. please who brought Buhari to power and who got in re - elected who vouched for him with influence, money nd party structure

Now if you assert that Removal of subsidy and floating of currency is why Nigeria is still in existence ... please how much loan were we collecting in subsidy era and why is the loan ×3 now that we stopped subsidy

How did floating of the naira save the Naira when its even more valuelezz, moreover are we gonna pretend CBN have not being making " interventions" to defend the Naira ... what as changed what is better that are intellectual reason

All the sacrifice n pain ... then we hear i am given more Money to governors what that what Tinubu promised us

You know sumtin is a basket then you decide to construct a bigger pipe to rain water into it .. its that not total madness

Blame Tinubu for all his political acts, but excuse him on the current ongoing reforms. He can only begin where he took over and I believe that's what he did.
Seriously I'm focused on his decisions regarding removal of fuel subsidy and merger of the two tier exchange that gave room to so much arbitrage.
On money to Governors, of course it's a fact and the current constitution operating in Nigeria does not give leverage to the President to supervise the Governor, Nigeria is currently a Federal democracy. Let citizens hold their leaders accountable, President, Governors, Local Government Chairmen.
We should stop collecting money to vote these charlatans.
The stability in our exchange rate has helped a lot of us in the Private sector to plan.
The next phase is for the pursuit of a productive based economy where most of the things we import can be locally produced

anonimi:
Is it not dangerous to be so ignorant and simultaneously arrogant as he is, with his fraudulent and fake defense of All Promises Cancelled, APC leaders looters

Lifestone should be concerned that his reformist balablu idol is importing fuel despite two NNPC refineries producing since 2015 and the one of PH exporting since 2024, in addition to PDP-licensed Dangote private refinery.

You may hate or like him, PBAT is the biggest reforms minded government after President Obasanjo

anonimi:
If Tinubu is any better than Buhari at looting and corruption why is he borrowing more money despoite increased revenue and telling lies about no more borrowing?

Since you are not APC spokesperson, why are you defending their worse corruption

You obviously lack understanding of basic economics. Borrowing is not the problem, the problem is what you are borrowing to do.
When you borrow to finance infrastructures especially those assets that can generate revenue for self servicing, then it's proper (tolled Road as an example), so I support completely borrowing money to do the Coastal Road to be tolled, Lagos Ibadan expressway should be tolled, markudi to Enugu should be tolled, Ibadan to Kaduna, A1 should be tolled. Those tolled Road will maintain themselves and free resources to fix our basic areas of about failing like Education, Primary Healthcare etc.
So get educated

TOPCRUISE:
Did you read where I called myself a prophet. Who should be the ones making the prophecy me or you and your party that promised to make a dollar to be one naira when voted in power.

Incidentally I'm not a member of APC and didn't even vote for PBAT in the 2023 election, but I had long believed that we need a bold reformists, we lost the opportunity for a decent reforms during Yaradua/GEJ to regig the economy for prosperity, GEJ was too weak a leader, that's why opposition like Bola Ahmed could heck him to submission on his reforms such as the removal of petrol subsidy and the political reform that he wasted billions and the report went into archive.
Oh be sure that PBAT will have my vote in 2027 except I could have others on the ballot that will take the reforms a notch further than him

anonimi:
Why is A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC presidents borrowing more money than PDP presidents despite removing subsidy TWICE in the last 11 years? What happened to the trillions of Naira and billions of dollars saved from subsidy removal in 2016 AND in 2023?

Do you know any other reason, apart from worsening corruption under the pretentious leaders looters

You ask those questions from APC spoke person, I'm not one. But what I know is that Nigeria was at its knee when this Government took over power in 2023, we were borrowing money to pay salaries and borrow to pay debt, over N30 trillion Ways and Means, the fraudulent two tier exchange rates, one for the powerful, the other for the ordinary people. We have sold our crude 6years production upfront! collected the money and spent, It was bad. If any succeeding government was not as courageous as the current administration, we will all have been on our knees now

TOPCRUISE:
When they came on board 10 years ago in 2015 they met it at N197 to a dollar. It worsened at N2000 to a dollar in 2023.
Gladly when it now improved to N1429 to a dollar, the news they are circulating around is that it gained in 13 years.

Because your expectation is that by now Naira should be N3000/$, why will you be happy that your prophecy failed

patrickcollins:
What is the good news something they met at #500

Which fake N500/$? When the black market was going for about N950/$. What manner of people are you guys

reddingtonblack:
Maybe your education was a waste afterAll if you cant define goodnews at your AGE

Lets not even talk about Buhari time or past leaders ... 2025 $1 drop to almost 1100, how do you expect sane Nigerians to celebrate or laud 1450 as goodnews

Do you even know what it implies for your two highiest currency to exchange just for $1
How is it goodnews

How is this the creation of the current administration? I'm in total support of the current reforms which by the way should have been done way back during the government of Yaradua/GEJ. The tackless Buhari, who apparently does not know a thing about economy simply made it worse.
But for the removal of the wasteful subsidy and merger of the two tier currency, it would have been hell now.
I may not be a political fan of PBAT, but I'm 💯 with him on the reforms

anonimi:
Was that not how good news was painful to All Promises Cancelled, APC leaders looters in their packaging of Tinubu's 2011 expired Buhari as change messiah four years later

How much per litre are Nigerians forced to pay as subsidy to this APC government for the massive corruption in the oil sector? Any idea? What is your guess?

I'm not a member or an advocate of APC, but I'm 💯 in support of the reforms of the current administration, Nigeria as a country has no options than to find its way back to recovery. I'm bearing the pain also, but it could have been worse.
Look at the wasteful fuel subsidy!

Fuckyoumod:
let only this type of dollar good news, from 400 to 1400 locate you and remain with you and your family for 1400 years.

Since this is the good news you celebrate, let it remain permanent in your life.

Can I hear you say a loud Amen?

I'm already living my reality. The N400/$ was a fraudulent and fake platform. A country who imports trillions on litres of petrol and import practically everything has no business expecting strong currency.
You better face your own reality
