ViceGovernor:
Listen to yourself or rather read what you typed......the government is scamming us and feeding us grammar while trying to hide their lies.....they're sabotaging that man's refinery with the aim of manipulating prices in their favor.

Tell me why did Alhaji decide to start charging for his petrol in dollars recently?
He has seen that he's being cheated with that naira for crude sham.

According to the government 1 year ago they said we would not need any import of petrol because the refinery in Port Harcourt will be up and running, that alongside DRL would supply all our domestic needs and we won't need to import.
What are they doing now?

They've issued import license so they can bring those fuel in and say they bought it at the present dollar rate thereby using that opportunity to jack up the price and make unethical profits, it's all about dollars for those crooks don't be fooled by those grammar.

A country with the 6th highest oil deposit on God's green earth is importing petrol despite having the largest refinery on the continent, and spending 254 trillion on another which is yet to produce half a drop of fuel ⛽.
Show me one other country where that illegality is happening sir.

ViceGovernor:
What do they expect after the ef gee issued reckless import license to their puppets just to sabotage Aliko .

When you can't read or comprehend what you read there is little we can do for you.

Dangote is still supplying about 90% of the market. Importation is to keep him on his toes, and it will vary from month to month.

I bought fuel ₦1,145 yesterday's evening. Today, the same filling station is selling ₦1,300.

Las Las, them used Dangote carry Nigerians over 2.5

So you don't know that Iran and the US has resumed there bombing?

Uncle tell us a story, so what happened to her clothes as at the time she died, The only people who Nigerian useless law knows are poor people, imagine if Umahi is a poor man, all this explainstion he would have been given it in police custody, but he is working as a free man today,

How is he to know, was he in the room with her? Have you never slept naked before?

Macphenson:
The girl committed suicide because she felt her long guarded virginity was lost for just #10k.

This guy messed up. He would have pampered this girl considering she was disvirgend by him. He was supposed to have spoilt that girl with gifts and funds. He is too stingy. After forcefully disvirgining a girl, you give her just 10k, haba, instead of telling her love stories you are threatening her. She was even regretting not going to aAbuja to give it to that man as he would have paid her nothing less than 50k.

Outside the words of the girl, there is no public evidence that she was raped, and the text message suggested she was ready to give up her virginity for 50k to anorher person in Abuja.

What I am assuming from the messages is that the girl is generally unstable, the guy should have noticed it and avoid going to bed with her.

Once he has made that mistake, he should have handled her with care until she calm down, instead of playing macho with her which resulted in her taking her own life.

Beautifulday:
Lol! This funny. Do know that the president swore to protect Nigeria and it citizens with an oath.

What do you think is oath of office

Sure he swore, but unfortunuately among the above 200 million of us,there are people like you who will see kidnapping as a quick way to make money or score a political point and will still try it.

AMINDA:
In that same three years, the PDP, the Labour party and the NNPP that all fielded candidates who secured millions of votes each have all being destroyed while attempts are still being made to disenfranchise viable candidates from being on the ballot. The signs are there and are visible to the blind, except for the naïve or the ones pretending to be asleep.

If he were 40, I'd probably agree with you. The Tinubu I'm seeing will almost certainly win a second term, but there's no guarantee he'll finish it before old age catches up.
So you can go back to the witches in your village and tell them to cool temper

AMINDA:
This is visible to the blind but he should be careful so the vindictive Paul Biya wannabe with a very fragile ego does not go to shut down his school.

Seriously? Paul Biya's been in charge for over 50 years, starting as vice prime minister. Tinubu's only been president for 3 years, but the witches in your village already told you he'd be there for life.

Is it hatred or dullness that has made you like this?

It is only a fool like Useni that will believe that every vehicle in that entourage belongs to the first Lady. This are individual vehicles from various govt agencies atenditing the events as part of her entourage. This vehicle serves multiple other purposes.

There is nothing wrong in her encouraging the wealthy amongst us to be charitable.

What did Adeyemi and Gbajabiamila discuss? He said he never met Gbajabiamila but spoke to him through someone who is now late in a hotel fire. Let Adeyemi reveal what himself and Gbajabiamila discussed. How many times did they speak? What did they agree on?

Why was the agency set up and how was the agency's funds spent? Watching the video, Adeyemi is a guy who is not afraid. He clearly feels he is being backed up by certain forces. Who is backing him?

We would also like to know if funds were funneled to someone. We would like details of bank accounts, transaction receipts, time stamps of meetings. We also need recordings of conversations.

Adeyemi said he was in jail when the budget was prepared and he knew nothing about it. Let the budget office reveal who prepared that line item. The public deserves to know.

Adeyemi, please send ALL documents relating to this matter here so that we can have saved copies.

So you didn't read the response from the Accountant general that no funds was released to his fake agency, or you don't believe it

Read ur response slowly and ask urself if u sound intelligent. The money Dangote borrowed is been utilized already and generating income. The monies ur messiahs has been borrowing, please point to one infrastructure that is generating income for the country.

I did..yes it is intelligent.

If you are not seeing the values that roads and other govt infrastructures are adding to our economy and way of life, perhaps you are the one that needs to sit down and question your mental health.

In just 3 years , the bold steps that this govt have taken, is unmatched in the history of our nation.

If you like add dried human waste to the regular weed you are so fond of smoking, this govt is doing 8 years.

CodeTemplar:
No sane person will like to be taxed only for it to be looted or wasted.

But without debt, development would be super slow.

Do you really think Dangote could've built his refinery without debt?

If we just wait until we have enough cash for our infrastructure, we'll never get anywhere.

Every Nigerian thinks any government they don't like is just stealing.

Nigeria’s challenge is low revenue, not high debt – World Bank
The World Bank has said Nigeria’s biggest fiscal challenge is weak revenue mobilisation rather than excessive borrowing, urging the government to prioritise efforts to boost revenue generation to support sustainable economic growth.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Friday, the World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Mathew Verghis, said Nigeria’s debt profile remains moderate by international standards and is significantly different from countries experiencing debt distress.

In response to thread, Where are the obidients megaphones of 2023,a n Obidient recently made the familiar claim that “all those you mentioned won’t bring 10 percent of the votes Kwankwaso would bring in the North.”

It sounds powerful until you place it beside the 2023 election results. Then the myth begins to collapse.

So let us leave emotion and enter arithmetic.

Is Kwankwaso a northern giant, or is he mainly a Kano colossus being mistaken for the whole North?

This begs the question: which North are we talking about — Kano North or Northern Nigeria?

In the 2023 presidential election, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso scored 1,496,687 votes nationally. But here is the uncomfortable truth: 997,279 of those votes came from Kano alone. That means roughly two-thirds of his total national vote came from one state. Kwankwaso won Kano with almost one million votes.

Now look beyond Kano.

Across the entire North-West, Kwankwaso scored 1,268,250 votes. Remove Kano’s 997,279, and he got only about 270,971 votes from the remaining six North-West states combined: Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara.

In the North-East, he scored only 126,343 votes. In the North-Central, including FCT, he scored only 60,056 votes.

So where exactly is this mythical “Kwankwaso will deliver the North” coming from?

Kwankwaso has value, no doubt. He has a strong Kano base. He has name recognition. He has Kwankwasiyya structure. But Kano strength is not the same thing as Northern conquest.

And here is the harder political question: if Kwankwaso, a Hausa/Fulani northern Muslim, could not win serious votes across most of the North while heading his own presidential ticket, how will he suddenly convince those same northern voters to troop out massively for a ticket headed by Peter Obi, a South-East Christian politician?

That is not ethnic hatred. That is electoral realism.

Historically, South-East presidential candidates have struggled to gain broad northern acceptance at presidential level. You may dislike that reality. You may call it unfair. You may blame civil-war memory, religious suspicion, elite propaganda, political mistrust or weak coalition-building. But serious politics begins by recognising voting patterns, not romanticising them.

Kwankwaso could not deliver Katsina. He could not deliver Kaduna. He could not deliver Sokoto. He could not deliver Zamfara. He could not deliver the North-East. He could not deliver the North-Central. But suddenly, as Obi’s number two, he will unlock the North like an ATM card?

Politics is not abracadabra.

A serious coalition counts votes. A fantasy coalition counts vibes.

So yes, Kwankwaso may help Obi in Kano. But anyone saying he will “deliver the North” is selling political suya without meat.

Kano is important. Kano is powerful. But Kano is not the North.

Good points, but let's take a closer look at his hold over Kano. Can we honestly say his coalition is still strong?

Remember, even with his coalition, APC still got 500k votes to his 900k. As of today, the APC base is mostly solid and has made some big moves into the Kwankasiya movement. The governor he helped elect is now in APC, along with many of his supporters.

It wouldn't be crazy to think he's lost almost 200k of his previous 900k votes to APC by now.

I predict a tight election in Kano state between APC and NDC. Outside Kano, NDC will do terribly in other NW and NE states. NC will be as split as last time.

I can't imagine anything other than an APC landslide.

Instead of borrow loans, make Nigeria do like Iran.
Goto war with US, let them kill our President, then we demand for $300b for damage

Smart guy ..we just need to manufacture a strait of Hormuz of our own, then block it to cripple the worlds economy, and the dollars will start rolling in.

This is taken out of context. Do these local governments ... as in City ... and State ... do they from international agencies? ... like the World Bank?... or from the Federal Government? And don't the government partly finance certain infrastructure development projects in the local government areas? The difference is we are consistently borrowing for everything including for budget... every year.. debt upon debt... and you think this is normal? ... or financial mismanagement and incompetence? I do.

I think you're missing the point about what a budget is. You're acting like budget and expenditure are the same thing.

This government, and the foreign government you admire so much, first put the projects they're interested in into the budget. Then they figure out how to get money or borrow money to do those projects and pay salaries and stuff.

When they don't have enough money, they start prioritizing, which is why some projects never get done, that and mismanagement.

So, saying they borrow for the budget and borrow for projects is basically the same thing.

To your main point, you borrow from a bank that's big enough (financially) and willing to lend you money. Nigerian banks, until recently, weren't big enough to lend the government the kind of money they needed, which is a big loss for the country since we're paying interest to foreign countries instead of our own banks and growing our economy. That's why Nigeria takes more foreign loans compared to those foreign governments.

Nigerian banks are bigger now, and if you've noticed, the Tinubu government has been borrowing more locally compared to previous administrations. Some of those trillion-naira profits the banks are reporting might be from that.

Borrowing locally is generally better than internationally, especially if you can get the loans under similar conditions.

What you should be worried about is if they're paying back their loans. Not only is this government paying back its loans, it's doing it better than previous administrations, with some money left over in the revenue.

So chill out and let them do their job.

Originalsly:
Most of the cool infrastructure in those countries were not built by external loans. What cool infrastructure do we have to show for the millions upon millions we borrow?I know you'll deflect. Which of those countries borrow to meet the budget?... year after year? .... the Naira is stabilized... how much has been used to prop it up? $1.25 loan.... what exactly are we getting from it?... no specifics... and you're defending that.... what's the point of having increasing GDP and the masses is getting poorer? ... to survive getting harder? Am I biased because I challenge the action of the government? ... I'm a free thinker .... not partial to politics .... tribe or religion ... I call it as I see it.

I will allow AI to answer you, perhaps you will be able to understand that better..one more thing what is a loan of 1.2 billion USD to a country of about 200 million people. That is what a local govt borrows in western society

The development of major infrastructure in Western societies—highways, grids, transit systems, and water networks—is almost entirely fueled by debt. Because these projects require massive upfront capital but deliver value over decades, loans and debt financing act as the primary bridge between a blueprint and a finished project.

That's from AI, you can dispute it

Originalsly:
If the economy is doing so well.... why get this massive loan from the WB? ... did the FG generate money to pay down the debt?.... or loans were used for same? ... how much was borrowed for infrastructure?.. what do we have to show for it? ... and we're borrowing again for infrastructure? .. isn't this a broken record? Simple budget ... we have to borrow... loans piling up on our heads... when will we stop borrowing?

Can you show us a major country that fixed their infrastructure and economy without loans?

Most of the cool infrastructure you see in other countries was built with loans.

Countries with much better economies and infrastructure than Nigeria are still borrowing way more than us, especially when you compare it to our GDP.

If you are too blinded by bias to see what the loans is doing, I am afraid I can't help you with that

For someone who watched a video we all watched to now claim Pastor Chris said Peter Obi was going to win the election is a disgrace!

The man of God talked about the three candidates, and said one of the candidate's name is in the bible and prayed, "Lord give him wings to fly" because he was afraid of wining.

These things we saw after the election, Peter Obi was timid and crying on national TV, a disgrace for an opposition leader. It's like crying in front of your cheating girlfriend...

The ruling party already saw he was a weak man, who wouldn't sacrifice much to lead this nation.

Do you really think, if the grace was on Adams Oshiomole, he would have been rigged out easily? He would fight to Death.

Donald Trump gave his life for the US election, and gained back his life.

Leadership isn't just screaming competency, character and comitment, Nigeria will never hand over power to a docile canditate.

I voted Peter Obi, and lost hope in his complete faith on the Judiciary. That's why Datti became tired of him.

You want to take power, it is taken by brute Force!

Pastor Chris was just being smart by not exclusively saying Obi would win; he implied it in that message, and the people listening to him believed it. There's no evidence he corrected that impression.

If Obi had won, you'd be here celebrating the accuracy of his prophecy, not trying to give us an interpretation that suits the current reality.

Igbos are trying, no direct cargo to South East, to travel abroad from South East is hell, they made it difficult to the extent that you have to travel Lagos or Abuja before you can travel abroad.
no sea cargo,
Igbos are the highest importer and also the highest travelers.

One day God go hear our prayers.

How many percent of the cargoes they import are sold to the people of SE?. Does it not make sense for them to ship directly to the market where there goods are sold i.e Lagos and Abuja. Can you compare the market in those two cities to the entire SE.
