It's obvious tinubu has 35 of the 37 govs including fct,it's unprecedented in our history......if he isn't doing something right,there is no way he would have been able to attract all these guys and convince them with his leadership qualities...... obidients come and see o,otti sef don collect 250b o and efcc don give am call to behave.

chicfarmer:
Nigerian competitors always fly fake rumors to bring down other brands in order to sell their own.

I remember those days when Royco cube launched a new product called Royco stew, Omo Royco took over the market because the product was innovative and good. It made stew red, sweet and had good aroma. Suddenly everybody forgot about other seasoning cubes. Na Royco stew just dey reign.

Before you know it, one wicked rumor just surfaced that they use human blood to make the new Royco stew seasoning. Omo, that was how that excellent product just died because no one wants to imagine that he or she has been eating human blood embarassed

It was so sad 😢 So I'm not surprised about what happened to this man. Even without evidence, they can use wicked rumors to kill a good product. It's so wrong.
Same happened to ajino moto,only indomie has been able to survive

You are not only ignorant in your epistles but a victim of the normalization of little or no empathy which should be one of the traits of a president whose first duty is to protect lives not attend occasions that will yield next to nothing!
Iike I told one of your colleague...most if not all of you have allowed political affiliation to mess with your sense of reasoning!
The same Tinubu had in 2013 attacked GEJ online for attending an occasion planned months ago instead of going to see victims of terrorists attack.
There is no way tinubu would have told gej to cancel an engagement with the king of England or president of the US because of an incident in maiduguri which in this case is your inference.......we do not have to be sentimental about everything till it becomes compulsive as in ur case.......everyone with a brain knows the importance of these kinds of engagements even the president of the US holds a visit of this nature in very High regard,go watch trumps visit,even gej and obj tried but couldn't pull it off.

If you were about to head to an important occasion that was planned months ago only to be informed that your house was on fire with your family members inside,would you continue embarking on the journey to that occasion and believe the fire service will do their duties in saving your family members?

Several presidents have cut short an important trip to a country due to violence that took place in a certain part of their country....an African president once left an occasion in a developed nation to return back to the country when he was informed about a tragic incident in his country.

Tinubu could have delayed his trip to UK and nothing would have happened!
On the contrary,he will be respected more as a president who cares about his own people!

Let's stop normalizing the body language of the president who doesn't seem to care about who lives and who dies in his country!
You reek ignorance from the very first letter to the last in your post......do you know how stringent this kinds of engagement are,do you think a state visit to the UK or US at the behest of a figure like the king is just decided at a whim?

Do you know the kind of optics and the message you are sending to the international community especially the businesses and tourists that your country is unsafe for business or visit......this people dont know north or south Nigeria, they don't know the difference between maiduguri,lagos,Abuja or onitsha all they see is Nigeria,if the president were to cancel that trip,do you know how many investment opportunities the country would loose......Nigeria is on the upscale internationally as many of us are doing our best to portray the country in positive light bar a few working at cross purposes in the name of Puerile religious and ethnic interests.

You mean Nigeria is no longer borrowing? Are you sure? Cause CBN just sold some bills yesterday and there's a $25bn borrowing plan on ground.
Debt service reduction had to do with completion of IMF loans and renegotiated terms for others.
States aren't owing salaries anymore because the value of the salary they pay has dropped massively. You're robbing the civil servants to enrich the states. The increased allocation is because of devaluation majorly which puts more money in govt coffers even with less value. The less value is then pushed to the salary earners
Sir,you are just running around in circles,I never said we weren't borrowing, no country can survive without borrowing,almighty america is still be biggest debtor in the world.....we only curbed wasteful spending on subsidy fraud and forex market arbitrage which was dysfunctional to our economy.

I already conjured with you that naira devaluation was partly responsible for the increased allocations but macro economic policies and redirection of hitherto wasted funds was also contributory.......If 30 naira today is now 10 naira in value,states would have still been owing salaries,you were paying 10 naira before, you are now paying 30 naira because you now earned 100 naira,your wage bill is still about same percentile of your income as it was when you were paying and earning less, thats very simple analogy.

Anywhere in the world its govts that needs to spend meticulously to boost the economy not throwing more money at the people,if govt spends correctly the economy will feel it.....people aren't being fired from their jobs,govt is spending on projects,govt is servicing debts,govt is giving out loans etc all these would not have been possible with the subsidy regime except govt taxes heavily.

I hope the discussions are fruitful one towards taking Nigeria to the next level. Everyone has just been interested in Nigeria lately. Nigeria must be great again
I said it then during the brexit that the UK could survive and even grow bigger than the EU only if it re integrated with the common wealth countries which are former colonies,create trade and tariffs agreements with them for British markets to enable free trade,India,Bangladesh, Nigeria,south africa,Egypt,Australia, new Zealand, canada,these are huge markets that British businesses could have made a kill only if the British had been able to look inward but alas,I guess they underestimated many of them and looked them over while China as successfully cornered those economies.

Kukutente23:
Increased allocation has more to do with naira devaluation and increase in VAT than subsidy removal
Are you saying Nigeria was not servicing debts or increasing wages of workers before subsidy removal? Are you saying Nigeria was not building roads before subsidy removal?
You've not been able to mention any tangible benefit of subsidy removal
How would you have been able to do anything with a debt service to revenue ratio of 96%,weren't you old enough during gej era when madam okonjo was screaming to high heavens that Nigeria was borrowing to pay salaries even into Buhari’s, govt was borrowing to cover both capital and recurrent that he had ro resort to ways and means running into 30 trillion naira all these is no more under tinubu thanks tobthe subsidy removal on both petrol and the dollar,the old ways were unsustainable even gej was crying out during is time that Nigeria would bleed to debt with the subsidy regime.

You claim it was devaluation that led to increased allocations to states, you are partly correct but thats not the full story,how come states aren't owing salaries anymore compared to the era of subsidy despite increase in minimum wages, how come many could now carry out more projects as against that era atleast they said so themselves.

ZombieDredd:
And what have you done with the funds?
What were you expecting the funds be done with......the increased allocations to your state where did you think the money is coming from,your foreign reserve, debt servicing obligations,all those road projects......the minimum wage increment,nelfund etc where do you think all that money is coming from......need I also remind you that the salaries of military men was just increased,a private, the least rank would now be earning about 300k monthly as againstvthe paltry 85k before ......if subsidy wasn't removed much of this might not have been possible.....if subsidy were to continue the givt would have had no choice but to tax heavily that everyone would have been crying so much.

Oga!! Get your facts right,there is still fuel subsidy in Angola,what they did was partial removal as against the full removal we have here.

No wonder you guys avoided the bombing thread by bokoharam.
Don't worry,that will be taken care of in due time,trust tinubu whom we all know is about the most pragmatic leader we have had since say obj......we have every confidence in him that he will handle the problem of insecurity......state police is already one major step in that regard.....the only point I will agree with you is that he should expedite action on the issue if insecurity, it is pertinent he does so ASAP.

Does tinubu look like gej or buhari to yiu,does tinubu strike you as someone who stands aloof or play to the gallery.......all these are measured and calculated steps to ensure there wouldn't be any rancor or distractions for his govt going into 27.....anyone that falls into that category would definitely need to that order......trust tinubu on that.

Didn't same TINUBU praise El Rufai and still slammed him into prison?

Now because of Political survival he is releasing all the people he jailed senselessly.

The question that needs to be asked is this. .what becomes of the SW after TINUBUs Government exits.

SW....will bear the brunt of their actions and all crys of Southern UNITY from dem will fall on STONES, as SOUTHERN UNITY IS DEAD. angry
Did malami steal or not? His case is still in court and the last I checked he still has that to answer.......you think tinubu is as dumb as you are to keep malami in prison against the rule of law so you rudderless obidients can start wailing that he is a despot........tinubu is far ahead of anything you guys can fathom, continue your defeatist politics we already turned the corner.

And about you wishing evil on the SW, it's obvious you are only a peurile reactionary without any knowledge of the dynamics of this country and it's history......go ask tafawa balewa,go ask ojukwu,go ask ibb,go ask abacha,go ask GEJ.......the SW remains the most vociferous region no govt wants in opposition.

Peter Obi will be judged based on his achievements as President.

People are judging Tinubu based on his failures as President, not based on who he met with during campaign

If the FCT people could prefer your so called non indigene to their own dear popular indigene because of Obi, then that popularity should be questioned.
The elecions were held the same day and LP won Abuja with obi on the ballot for president,it's only normal for LP candidates running for other legislative seats to benefit from that.....that's how most elections work in Nigeria......if you are a political analyst that shouldn't be too difficult to know.
