This is why I say that when cornered, the typical Nigerian begins to ramble! 🤔

Obi's shoddy record as governor of Anambra state does not in any way excuse the statement you made about Tinubu being the best on the ballot last year. It doesn't. Nor does it excuse the fact that his mediocrity has been showcased at the national level for over a year now with all of Nigeria suffering it.

You can decide to pitch your tent wherever you like but you just illuminated my initial point that tinubu was the best of the 3 when you compare his legacies with that of Obi not to even mention atiku....they were both governors for 8 years and we know which ones legacy still exists and even 3 govs I believe are far more informed and better placed to lay facts bare after him still alludes to that fact.

On the national scale I believe it's a different kettle of fish and his performance has been quite discouraging but I did would like to cut him some slack as he has made some policies that looks good going forward..... heaping the entire gamut of our woes on tinubu to me is grossly a misrepresentation of facts and totally unfair.

Blazetrailer:
Gosh!

Maybe you should have kept quiet.

According to Abraham Lincloln..."Better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to speak/write and make it absolutely clear, removing all doubts that you are an idiot"
All you have written below make my initial position about your knowledge of economics and current ongoings apt. For someone who thinks there is no more subsidy, your knowledge of macro economics is laughable. Only an idiot will not realise that it was unwise to devalue the currency in order to ward off rent seeking in an unproductive economy. If you keep devaluing, it makes the rent seeking more prominent...

Your knowledge of economics is at best pedestrian from your warped assertions.....so you mean to say the govt should have kept subsidising the dollar with loans..... devaluation isn't a totally bad thing and the JPY had been devalued longer than I can remember and the economy is still doing well....it only makes export more attractive than imports which is a plus for any economy.....and for the last time,provide us with facts of subsidy being paid and stop yapping bollocks.

Well, I don't need to argue much with you, just read the screenshot below from my comment in 2022....

I was in Onitsha in 2010 for 3 months when obi was governor.....I stayed on awada road obosi and our office was 10 otigba str Onitsha GRA.....our project was Onitsha main market and it was a pilot project for paying fiber cables within the market and having a telecommunication network for the market with security surveillance with CCTV cameras......Onitsha was the most unsecured city I had ever been.....by 8 pm the entire streets were deserted and residents feared to throng outside past 9pm at the latest,Onitsha was dirty and there was hooliganism on another level that I never saw before in Lagos..... looking across the Niger at night,asaba was like America compared to Onitsha....the streets were well lit all the way from okpanam upto the bridge head while Onitsha was peach dark.
Anambra vigilante service were in existence then and we're feared for their extra judicial measures....Onitsha was a big mess and is still is....obi was the governor at the time!!

Obi had the opportunity to transform Onitsha to a modern mega city or at least lay the foundation for it but he failed even at getting the right successor he was abysmal at that too.

The more you write, the clearer it becomes that you are a retard.

How have others managed it to not create a 200% inflation in the economy, reduce the economy from the largest in Africa ti the 4th position, with a further projection and continuing recession...?

Only a stupid leader will accept to be a can carrier of the failure of all others in the name of boldness.....he has succeeded in crippling and destroying his government by not being tactful. Nigeria can never recover from his blunders. Watch the economy deteriorate further soon.

Those his blunders will consume his government.

The previous govts only averted Doomsday.....they basically just papered over the cracks and now it's gotten worse.....every informed and intelligent person knows the fate we are in at the moment was inevitable it was only a matter of time.

If you decide to leave in a fairy tale that all had ever been well with Nigeria.....I don't know how more retard one could be.

Kobojunkie:
What has Fashola's opinion to do with what is on records? We all know how godfatherism occludes people's abilities to reason in Nigeria. So, why would Fashola's opinion matter where the actual records in the state are concerned? Those who lived in Lagos even before Democracy and Fashola showed up on the scene know what happened in Lagos. So why would a man's comment change any of that?

So you have better information than the same fashola you just referred to as one of the best give Lagos had? Even fashola would laugh at your illogical inference.

Streetdoctor:
For now tinubu has proven that he's worthless to occupy d office. Infact he has made buhari looks like a magician

Only people averse to facts and reason think that way....every right thinking person knows there is a gradual reform going on,though slow but it will definitely turn around.

Kobojunkie:
Again, Marwa was the visionary Lagos had. In less than 3 years Marwa accomplished much of the development that sustained most of Lagos throughout the comatose years of the Tinubu government in Lagos State..

2. Hate? Hate or like has nothing to do with stating the facts as they in fact are recorded. This is about collapsing an obvious misinformation. Tinubu's record in Lagos State of a Governor who accomplished absolutely nothing in all of the years he spent in the state. Fortunately, the governor before him had done a good enough job that Lagosians were able to survive until Fashola then showed up to continue from where Marwa stopped.

Even fashola you mentioned will laugh at your misinformed innuendos

Brendaniel:
Rest, if you still don't know what the Lagos scam is as at now, then you might still have a long way to go in understanding governance and leadership....

I bet you don't even have a 4 by 4 corner store you run and you come on here yapping about governing a state......if you have facts bring them up and stop making ill informed innuendoes.

CaptainGo:
The agencies under the Health Ministry were relisted for funding from the federation account in January this year.


And even those delisted are still Federal agencies. Only difference is that there will be self-funded like Nafdac, Firs, CBN etc.

When was the budget approved and passed or you want the govt to go into extra budgetary spending then you start screaming that he has committed an impeachable offence.....they should wait for the supplementary budget coming up in some weeks I believe,they would be taken care of.

Kobojunkie:
Tinubu had no such influence in Lagos; there are no records to prove any such. Yes, Lagos had taken a downward trend in the early part of the 90s, however, the Mohammed Buba Marwa Government that preceded the Tinubu government takes credit for turning that trend around before Tinubu showed up and thought to do absolutely nothing for the next 8 years that followed it. Go back through the records and see this for yourself. Marwa, not Tinubu, turned the tides in Lagos. Tinubu only sat back and amassed wealth for himself for the first 8 years of democracy in Lagos.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Buba_Marwa

Marwa did his beat I agree but Lagos needed a visionary leader who could harness the potential of the state for even more development......you can hate him all you want....tinubu has his imprint on all the major developments in the modern Lagos.....even having good successors who share and keep to your ideology is no easy fit and he has been able to achieve these.

Kobojunkie:
I keep saying this... the moment a typical Nigerian is cornered, he begins to ramble and run around like a chicken without its head.

What in the world has this here to do with the topic or my previous comment for Pete's sake?

I was only inferring that tinubu was very influential in the upward trajectory Lagos as been on since he was in office.....in the 90s Lagos had taken a downward trend before he came in.....refuse, security,bad roads,poor traffic management, inefficient civil service, decrepit schools,parlous health care system very degenerate and the most chaotic transport system to mention a few.....I don't know how long you have been gone for but it started taking a turn around in 99 when tinubu came on board.

canalily:
It's not always easy between Yoruba and Igbo in terms of marriage... I wish you success

I think inter tribal marriages are the most enduring.....there are so many examples we can point to

bro4u:
Traditional marriage in Lagos hotel? What happened to the bride's village??

You want UGM to come kidnap all of them.....even flavour run go Enugu go bury him papa

dauntless15:
We no go hear word throughout this week because of this hype of a wedding, make he no come cheat after all this show off because chioma will still take it like she always does but it'll be so embarrassing.

My question is why is it happening in the grooms house,you marry from the brides house....that's the proper thing.....anyway,I think they done their engagement already

Streetdoctor:
If dis is d best Yoruba can bring that means Yoruba like rubbish

If obi is who the Igbos think is their Messiah ...I don't know what to say.

Kobojunkie:
Ahead of Abuja? I was practically born and raised in Lagos and that state, since as far back as the 70s has remained the most viable state in that entire country to date. None of that happened because of Tinubu. And Tinubu contributed absolutely nothing for the 8 years he governed that state, that much is on record. So, this attempt to rewrite history in favor of a man whose record shows he practically sat back doing nothing in the state is just that, a dubious attempt to give value to nothing.

Take Buhari to the America and make him potus and let's see what would happen to that country.....there is a reason organisations seek to hire the best brains around to get their job done and not dim wits.....you either make something better or worse,it's only dependent on who's in charge

christejames:
First time I'm hearing FG owing salaries






Tinubu na you do this one!

Go and find out the agencies delisted from approved MDA's then you will understand why they weren't paid.....find facts before you disgrace yourself.

ciggy000:
There was a circular where govt said they were pulling out from funding these agencies which they can't claim ignorance about. You don't set up numerous professional institutes and bodies without a funding arrangement. Perhaps they should take a clue from institute of chartered accountants Nigeria (ICAN) which funds it's activities from internally generated revenue.

Don't mind all the comments before you,it's either they are ill informed or jus plain dumb reactionaries.

JAWBONE:
As Buhari bad reach, I no for one day hear say him owe salary.
If dem tell me say Agbado Master wey call himself City Boy go worse pass Buhari, I no go believe.

There is a reason for this,some agencies and associations were delisted from the list of approved MDA's...... govt ceased making budget allocations to them in that they should be self financing.

Tochi3:
..Thief'nubu & his son seyi are interested in yacht..Thief'nubu is only interested in increasing the salary of the judiciary who helped him to cement his stolen mandate..

..Thief'nubu is not interested in those that did not help him snatch & grab..He is only interested when he releases fund to pocket the National assembly to buy bullet proof cars..renovation of buildings with billions of naira..

..Thief'nubu is not interested in the health of Nigerians..afterall he can run to france with looted tax payers money to treat himself & family..

..Thief'nubu is not interested in the hardship health workers are passing through presently..he is only interested in releasing funds for Hajj..to be looted by his goons..while the hajjians are abandoned in Medina & forced to beg for food..

..very useless anyhow maladministration of Nigeria by emilokan mandate thieves..

Tufiakwa..

Every sensible person knows the reason why these people haven't been paid.....go and find out the agencies and associations that the govt removed from approved MDA's and stop looking uninformed

Kobojunkie:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣laid the foundation for 8 solid years with nothing to show for all 8 years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Since your best is nothing, then it is no wonder that Nigeria as it is today appeals to you and others like you!

You can be blind to progress,that's not my business,Lagos is still the most viable state in the federation as we speak,even ahead of Abuja.....that didn't just happen by chance,someone had to get the job done and we all know who has been getting the accolades.

Riskymarvelous:
which means you are in full support in dis useless regime right? God will punish all APC supporters

I try to be in support of anyone leading the country.....I am only being objective in the way I see the problems of this country.

The way this country is structured,it's very difficult to get it to work properly no matter who is president.....what are your govs and LGA chairmen doing absolutely nothing despite the huge allocations they get monthly,they only keep pointing to Abuja.

Blazetrailer:
This dude must be a slowpoke. Why is he trying to shift the blame to Jonathan??

I am from the SW and this current President is the worst we have ever had. A drug addict and a tout found his way to the highest position in Nigeria and these idiots are hailing him after he has damaged the economy without thinking??

I never pushed any blame on anyone and only used that as an analogy that inflation has been on the increase year on year without the govt doing anything about it at the time and has now snowballed into the lacuna we have right now.....if you have a comprehension problem,hows that my business.....now who is the slowpoke

Blazetrailer:
Your first statement clearly shows your level of "being informed". There is just no point debating or discussing with you further if you need proof that subsidy is still being paid for imported petrol with landing cost of nearly N1300, even with both World Bank and IMF pointing it out recently that Niheria is paying subsidy heavily

Keep your level of denial, bury your head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend there is "no more subsidy"

On the exchange rates, no point debating with you. You don't know anything, with what you have stated below. If you didn't know that it was not floated but devalued to attract foreing investments according to current Minister of Finance,(which is not coming anyways), no point debating it with you.

Rent seeking will continue in an economy full of corruption and ineptitude whether you float or you don't float. That's the lie they told you.

Subsidy is being paid with which money.....do you know how much it would be costing this govt to maintain subsidy of that magnitude considering current high cost of Forex,NNPCL has repeatedly come out to say they are no longer doing under recovery as it was pre tinubu,you are here telling us what you don't have any idea of..... Nigeria for your information has an allocation for crude for local consumption which is only being refined outside and brought back which had been in existence even before subsidy was removed....go and learn more about the petroleum industry and understand how it works then you will know we should have no business paying subsidy in the first place.

No currency in the world is fully floated not even the dollar,the govt has to keep a keen high on its currency and make sure it remains as stable as possible,what happened before tinubu was that we were getting an artificial value for the naira and not the real value,what you have now is seemingly what a buyer is willing to buy and a seller willing to sell.....talking about subsidy,it was the dollar that was also being subsidised heavily to keep it at that rate it was before tinubu and he has also come out to say no more subsidy in that space that's why you have the xponential increase in rates.....the question is what are your state govs doing? Check every sector across all the states and show me any governor doing anything meaningful be it agric, education,health or social welfare, absolutely non except maybe Lagos.....they all still depend on faac and seat their lazy arses down doing nothing.

Treadway:
no worry. All of us gather dey watch this foundation that he is laying now na. Y'all have kept parroting this lie about Lagos, like people all over Nigeria had not been moving to Lagos since even the 60s cos of the strategic historical and commercial value of the state. In your warped minds, it is Tinubu that made Lagos viable like literally all our parents didn't migrate to Lagos to school, work and do business since the 60s. Tinubu was the one who had put headquarters of virtually all the major international and national establishments there, dating back to pre-independence Trying painstakingly unintelligently to rewrite history..lol

At the end of this 4years, I will vote for Bulaba to run the country aground for a second term, anybody wey hardship and hopelessness wan kill from now to then, can die and go to hell for all I care. It is survival of the smartest, the bravest, and the fittest. Dog eat dog! Let me now see the sumbitch, that will question my decision to reward the destroyer of Nigeria with a second term to bring in more hunger, hopelessness and desolation, as he builds his 'foundation'. The same foundation he laid for 8 years as governor with nothing to show, only to take the glory of all those who came after him...makes you wonder why he didn't do it himself and take the glory himself

If you do not know from the early 2000s, there was a Lagos master plan drafted by these guys which is still being operated by successive governor's after him......Lagos GDP under tinubu grew exponentially compared to what it used to be,you would agree with me that if you do not get a good manager to manage an already successful company,it will be ran aground....Lagos was working like an elephant but eating like an ant until he came,the potential of the state grew massively under him.....let's give honour to whom it's due.

On Nigeria sir,I put it to you that the way Nigeria is structured is the bane of our development, nothing meaningful can come out of this no matter who is president....what are your governors doing,we heard how much they got fro palliatives and how much they take home every month as faac.....what are they doing,the FG is trying to manage the macro economy of the country to stop it from tilting over but the constituent states are doing nothing to develop their states and LGAs....we need to breakdown the country through proper restructuring which the process has started, governance needs to move closer to the people..... everyone is pointing at Abuja instead of pointing at their govs or LGA chairmen.....show me one state that is doing any major meaningful project that can develop their area,non except Lagos....even Ogun state that should be benefitting immensely and following the footsteps of Lagos is as lame as a duck .

Mariangeles:
You said it all.

I tell you that most of all these people slaving away riding okada,selling spare parts,doing hairdressing etc in the cities all come from somewhere.and everyone has access to land in their communities......if govt gaurantees providing inputs for say cassava or maize or yam and improve welfare in the rural communities like health insurance,free education,house hold loans and even mortgages to make farming life easy....I tell you even bankers would leave the bank and go into farming.

Riskymarvelous:
how much is 1dollar to Naira,,,how much is one bag of rice,,,how much is one bag of cement,,,how much is fuel,,how much are dey selling food stuffs during PDP tenure I now understand that you are lack of integrity

I now know that u are not to knowledgeable about how the economy has been on a decline since 2007......how much was rice during obj compared to the price during GEJ same for cement,fuel etc

Streetdoctor:
Oga rest abeg, you ubas didn't see it coming that's why they started d outcry. We saw it coming, we knew he's not capable, we knew his record in Lagos. Just rest

He was the best of the 3 candidates,take that to the bank.....when he was in Lagos,he didn't do much but he laid the foundation for the upward trajectory Lagos still has today.

Mariangeles:
Honestly, this isn't easy work o.
If you know the work that goes into extracting palm oil ehn, you'd value every single drop.

The part of the work I dislike the most is picking out the palm fruit from the bunch. 🥺

Chai! Village life is awesome. 🙂

You see all the people shouting hunger,dollar is to high,petrol is too cost!! They are supposed to encourage these people running this cottage industry... Govt should get access to finance and create a cluster in that area where more people can come in and produce.....by now more people need to be going into agric and agric processing,our number one problem is we are not producing enough food in this country.

Massive investment like roads ,electricity,schools and Medicare also agricultural equipments should be provided on a massive level directed to the rural areas to encourage people to come get involved in agriculture.....there are so many people wasting away in the cities.

God1000:
This so-called madam should be arrested and prosecuted, I don't know why some rich women treat their househelp so badly in Nigeria, they degrade and dehumanize them for no reason.

I think government should step in and put in place legislation that will protect these girls from their wicked madams

It is always madam doing this evil, their husbands don't even have time for such thing

It's not the woman's fault,it's the police you should blame,who don't carry out proper investigation before charging people to court.....stealing is a bailable offence and all her people needs to do is arrange for her bail.

The wicked Wike. Did I answer your question?

You people should stop spewing thrash.....if Wike truly owns that consignment,it will clear at the port without any hindrance.....who owns the port,who owns the customs....noh be FG?

bro try to get sense use your sense before Dey use you APC av nothing to offer that is the fact they all went there to loot money and start spending unnecessary money I think you are not deaf and blind APC av nothing to offer we av seen it since 2015 so no argument biko

What did PDP offer for 16 years,I am waiting for you to tell me what anyone else has to offer......I dey wait
