Lost my job 4yrs ago and reluctant to find another because of this question. I say let me suffer at once and build something I can depend on when am old or weak. Have been trying to figure out how to keep money coming even when on a sick bed

Same here, building has been my aim for the last few years

Our importation mentality.

Our minister of Trade was asked by Oshiomole in senate committee on trade

whats our net import with China ??

So that we can discuss with the Chinese government to come and establish the companies in Nigeria............As its the case all over the world, USA forces Germany to assemble mercedes in the USA, creating Jobs and paying taxes to USA governement.

The minister answered "Senator we dont have such records before i came and we can certainly look into it"

Are these the so called technocrats Tinubu promised to appoint ?


There is no harm in appointing Ministers to re-pay political debts, but atleast assemble a team of technocrats.....Go to UNILAG/UI/UNN/ABU/OAU......There are people there who can run this country.....Even if a minister uses ChatGPT. They can know how to run the country.

The same minister had a 1 billion Naira traveling expense to Europe for 1 trip !!!!!

Sai Mallam

Nigeria does not have a better mix of technocrat and bureaucrat like El -Rufai.

You have come of age, it would be a pleasure to have you as our president.

Nigeria is ripe for a right wing Nationalist with a proven track record.

Your achievements as FCT Minister and Kaduna Governor speak for itself.

Dont worry about the detractors.......Nigeria has never had a leader that didn't have detractors.

The wailers must wail........
