Keep deceiving yourself, dangote would have gone ahead even if subsidy wasn't removed.

You are not quite right sir,subsidy it self was what was keeping private investors away from petrol refining......no investor was ready to risk their money without the full deregulation of the downstream sector..... You people think a multi billion dollar investment would just be made on a whim,if the APC/Buhari govt hadn't given dangote the assurances that subsidy would end and the continuation of that policy by timubu,that project would only just be on
paper......that's why many dim witted Nigerians think Nigeria can be like America in just 2 yrs.

Depriest2020:
Kindly ignore the OP, Gentleman GEJ has no intent of contesting again.

It's the work of some neglected politicians who want to use GEJ as a comeback.....GEJ his smarter and way ahead of them,he won't fall for their bait,also many who worked against him especially in the north would never want to eat their words by campaigning for him 27,others would be scared he will deal with them seriously.

givedemwotowoto:
Are you saying Nigerians are enjoying being murdered by bandits and armed insurgents?

Or that Obidients responsible for insecurity?

Which one?

Anybody or group that hates any good news about their country because they lost an election is on same course with those bandits and terrorists you mentioned.

givedemwotowoto:
Will those Nigerians take direct flight to Brazil as a win over security of lives and properties in Nigeria?

If you can’t drive a car don’t steal it from the owner

If you can't afford travel by air at this time,do not despite,hustle harder and pray from your time to come.....their are so many people this will benefit and bring about prosperity to the country,there are already lots of socio cultural ties with Brazil,Latin America and the Carribbean.....Nigerians can now easily begin exploring migration options and establishing businesses between both nations also educational opportunities would open up.....relieving many pressures from going to the west.

omoredia:
Poverty is a mindset. Japan has zero oil but it is a very established and prosperous nation. Prosperity is not by oil reserve it is by 'knowledge reserve'.

Then why would you have to point at one man as the cause of Nigeria's rot which has been festering for over 5 decades.

Japan is a nation that has been existing for over 200 yrs,majorly homogeneous culturally and monolithic religiously with a fat lesser population.it's far easier to develop a country like that than it is with Nigeria.....Japan had been industrialised even before Nigerians learnt to drive cars.

Davimuyi:
Bro Nigeria presidency is 4 years not 8 years.. after 4 years any zone can contest and get power. Why are we forgetting it's 4 years with an option of recomtesting for another 4 . Should we leave a leader to destroy the country just because it's the turn of his region to be there ..

Any region from the south had every right to contest against tinubu in 27 but the north won't be encouraged,it's an unwritten rule which is sacrosanct......everyone in the political class knows this that's why you find some northerners equally echoing same.

There are so many younger Turks up north who are also positioning for the prime job and they know an atiku victory will be in total abeyance to their ambitions......The only way for them to gain political capital in the south is to be seen to support the sous 8 year tenor

Pierocash:
Wike has really messed this guys up, tossing them whichever way he chooses.

He commanded them to either zone the presidential ticket to the South or face another consequence. They humbly obeyed

It's not about Wike,it's the most logical thing to do,the south must get it's 8 years as the north had.. ..if ADC likes let them give atiku their ticket,they will be going the unwritten rule of power rotation between the north and south and that alone can work against them across both regions.

mrvitalis:
zoning it to South is against Tinubu but u guys are not smart enough to see it

There are equally 3 regions in the north as there are down south and their politics is equally as dynamic.... .obi can have his regions votes,no one really cares but atiku can't get 25% in any southern state......tinubu is the only one with the national spread and structure and that is one of his strengths.

omoredia:
If u like get billions of dollars in oil but have a Tinubu as leader then it will all amount to zero at the end of the day

Do even know the country called Venezuela? Nigeria is still a poor country by all standards

muyico:
Just two years he don services with 8. Sumtinz, before he go finished four years, the debt service will increase to 16/17 billions dollars! D highest in history

I doubt you even have any iota of comprehension on what debt servicing means because it's obvious based on your jaundiced statement......you have to service your debts whether you like it or not.

gerrardomendes:
...and borrowing more on the other hand for frivolous lifestyle.

He doesn't need to borrow to live any life he wants.... borrowing in itself isn't bad thing but it's judicious utility is the challenge......there is no way you can work this country without borrowing......the USA is still the most indebted nation in the world.

JASONjnr:
Datti is more consistent than Obi and I pray he gets recognized in the future.

Obi is very inconsistent and criticize without providing solutions but wants to be voted for him to provide solutions. How can that even happen?

The ADC isn't even a problem to me.... I believe the people that formed the coalition are confused and they all want one thing....to be president.

Who will step down to support the other?

Datti has proven severally to be far more principled than obi and farore intelligent......obi had farore political capital than those all those ADC supporters put together.....he should have been the last man standing and was already holding his own against the incumbent but he depleted all that by cahooting with those that had ruined Nigeria in the past and those Nigerians wanted to do away with...... however datti has been steadfast so far and stuck to his ideals from 23,obi on the other hand has proven himself to be an opportunistic, purposeless politicians.

Kelklein:
This is a commendable feat by the administration. I'm one of their strongest critics so it's also right that when they do something commendable, we mention it.

What this means is that the Naira-Dollar won't be dancing skelewu for a while..

However, The administration should take it easy on borrowing tho..

That you have a window to take loans doesn't mean that you should or must.. cos I don't see any reason in having more reserves and even triple more in debt burden.. doesn't make any sense if you look at it critically..

Too many selfish, klepto and unpatriotic individuals running the affairs of this nation🤔🤔

Japan, Singapore all have a higher debt to GDP than we do,a whopping 255% for Japan.... however they know how to control it as the bank of Japan is filthy rich on the assets side......our govt needs to invest more.

Kusu12:
Bro, educate yourself! Who do you think gave private schools the license and documents to operate? It’s the government—stop talking like they run outside the system.

You only licensed me on what to do and not how to do it

OlujobaSamuel:
One of the school owners.
When Lagos introduced uniform academic calendar, why you no talk sey you have your own rule as a business owner?
Sue the state if you are not comfortable with it.
Waiting for similar policy in Lagos and Ogun.

I am not a school owner and I don't know anyone in my family who is,I am just an objective analyst who has a problem with a govt who is only trying to be politically correct without addressing the main cause of the problem.....u don't uproot cancer from the top but from the bottom.

abidem4real:
Good one. It is high time private school unnecessary extortions stopped. Like Edo like Benue🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

If private schools decide to go on strike over this,do you know the kind of educational crises you wou6have on your hands,can govt schools absorb all the students and teachers.....this isn't a well thought out policy at all.....if you can't cope with the requirements of my school,send your kids to the school govt built, simple!!

pesty100:
how is this even going to work? there are just too many things that can go wrong, the governor didn't really think through it before promulgating this policy

It's a law that can't stand and the schools as private establishments that they are have a right to set their own rules,if you don't like it send your kids to the schools the govt built,simple!!

If govt had invested in education as appropriate and provided standard schools 90% of parents won't seek private options......expect cost of books to go up,school fees and other levies...... graduation parties were never compulsory but it's the feel among attitude of parents that made it a burden onto themselves,at best we won't call it graduation party but find another name to call it

Pravedk:
Long overdue. This rubbish must stop.

I inherited uniforms, textbooks and even sometimes old notes from my elder brother.

And I enjoyed it. Cos dude was more serious than I. His books were nearly laminated.

Why should a parent have same textbooks from older siblings but cannot give it to the younger ones cos the school have a stupid policy of always buying new. So what do I do with the ones I don't need at home?

Na that one dey vex me pass with private schools. Party own I no send.

And yes. Some extra lessons are too much. My child should leave that school by 2pm. Let them go and play small.

We closed by 2pm and we turned out great.

Then expect prices of books to double and fees to go up,cheaper schools will have depleted standards or better still send your kids to the schools govt built, simple!!

IBB007:
Lol…these private schools too overdo…I no pity them at all

The law can't stand,send your kids to govt schools simple.......there is a limit that govt can control private businesses.

JONSYN7154:
I'm neither ma.

Go to this major cities and towns you'll understand what am saying.
It's the rich people who bring their children.

Wrong!! Rich upper class kids don't get easily wayward like the kids if the poor and often times are even far better behaved than the kids down the ladder..... They easily get shielded from the vagaries of the world by the comfort their parents provide.

Walai:
Under GEJ no one complained of hunger.
Everybody was well fed. People had varieties of cheap rich food to choose from.
Valuable money circulated and civil servants bought cars and built houses

Read how ludicrous your post is,reeks ignorance from letter to letter......you were either too young then and being fed by your parents or you were downright oblivious of reality at the time......if people weren't hungry under GEJ why then did they resist the subsidy removal.

The minister of finance and co ordinating minister of the economy at the time madam okonjo iweala,CBN gov sanusi now emir of Kano, minister for petroleum,the avaricious Allison maduekwe,nnpcl etc were all crying to high heavens a out how badly the economy was haemorrhaging and that something had to be done to salvage the situation,that hard reforms had to be taking to save the country......those decisions tinubu is taking now and you are still here crying,distorting history to suit your warped narrative.

israelmao:
Why can you do just that?

You brought it up,I don't know where you got your data from .....why peddle falsehood just because you want to denigrate the govt

israelmao:
Compare and contrast the suicide rate due to economic hardship between then and now?

Can you avail us the data and let's compare

israelmao:
Go to the streets and sample the opinions of real people who voted for Emilokan and stop this deceit.

Tell me anytime people on the streets have never complained of hunger or inflation since independence.....rice and pms was more expensive under GEJ than it was under obj,you mean to tell me there was no hunger then.

Oga Kenny Martin's what happened to the police equipment fund you superintended? Now it's super highway you want to come and do,i am afraid Nigerians won't trust you on that.

israelmao:
External reserve is shoring up in the face of intense hunger, unemployment and poverty.

So they should share the foreign reserve so you can eat dinner today? Do you even know the purpose of the reserve ......get a job or add value to yourself so you can stop complaining about hunger.....there are loads of people making it in this country while you are here wailing.

Bonapart:
Never heard of him but he needs to lose some weight

Exactly,if he was fitter,he could make a run!!...the guy even did a 360 round the vehicle

PlasmaTV:
We really really really pray that this project sees the light of day.

It's embarrassing that we don't have potable water in 2025. APC is a cancer.

Why didn't PDP do it in 16 years? But APC in 2 years is already initiating it.The joke is on you bro.

DeLaRue:
The cable said it has seen a letter addressed to Mr Wike.

Well, that a letter is addressed to an individual is not proof that it was served on that person, or that a genuine attempt was made to serve him and he evaded service.

Mr Wike has a legal background. For him to say on TV that he was not served notice of the meeting, he must have spotted a legal error on the part of the conveners of the meeting.

It would be difficult to find and serve Mr Wike personally. They should have published the notice in national newspapers, assuming the PDP constitution provides for that option.

Seems to that another legal battle is loading.

Does it have to be addressed personally to him,I thought it was meant to be a general notice to all NEC members and you are to attend if you are one.

ZombieTAMER:
When I say Tinubu is a failure


This is exactly what I mean

Imagine rewarding terrorists because they told you they've repented

Otter jobless youths will follow suit

You probably didn't read the post or you have comprehension problems......the money was paid to gombe state govt to build another nysc orientation camp as the one they have has been taken over by the defence head quarters for the terrorist rehabilitation program.

When we do not have enough livestock to go round In This country......meat is a very good source of protein but we are getting short on it and someone his planning on exporting.

Meat is extremely expensive especially in the south and I still don't understand why,this cows eat free range grass and water......I get extremely angry when I hear the ridiculous amounts people are having to buy meat......I have long sort preference in fish and eggs......a crate of eggs cost 6k for 30 pcs and would take a family of 4 2 to 3 weeks to consume but 6k meat won't last 3 days.
