lionshare: Seems you have the logic upside down-- you are more likely to experience scarcity under socialism than capitalism, which is constantly seeking to eliminate all sorts of friction and ensure adequate supply in order to acquire market share & penetration. That competition often gives the masses more competitive pricing, better availability and improving quality. Plus, human greed is a more reliable factor for driving an economy than morality or ideals driving socialism. Competition and Monopoly are not the same as Caputalism and Socialism. Dont confuse them |

megawealth01: As seen on the internet Most times, it is actually the opposite. Capitalism usually turns necessities into luxury e g. paying exorbitant sums as school fees for education which is a neccessity. Whereas, socialism tries to make sure that everybody has access to education (a necessity) by eliminating or reducing the huge school fees (which would make it a luxury) so that everybody can afford it. Same for housing, etc |

megawealth01: An Israeli official was spotted moving around and ticking off the names of countries that left the hall when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.
Immediately after the Israeli PM entered the hall, countries staged a walkout. They were protesting against Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Iran.
The walkout prompted the Israeli official to move around the hall and mark off names. However, Cameroon and a few others didn't leave.

I'm very sure you understood me just that politics won wounjure your opinion even though you do claim you don't care about any politician but na lie based on your opinion today to say the least.  My point is this: use the same yardstick and standards to asess all of them. I am okay whoever loses or wins. I criricise the current incumbent's performance so far, but that is not the same as saying that I have a particular candidate for 2027. I dont.!

crownprince2017: I think this is out of the context. You are very blind to the truth may be intentionally or unintentionally I can't say but what that guy was trying to clarify is very clear. There is difference between someone trying to paint himself saint and someone who never claim to be, the public knows anyone in that trade(politics ) is far from being a saint. Instead of you to say the truth in plain language you want to start another argument entirely to derail the thread..
In the process of claiming saint, the truth comes out plain, you then have to start twisting the evidence against you. If you were saint, your argument should be, that is a lie. I never borrowed any funds as earlier claimed not talking about the quantum of the debt or how it's not a debt like that. Thank you for saying I am very blind. Thanks., I am grateful. Some other people could have seen the scenario as a case between someone who cares about integrity, honesty and is making efforts to be perfect but makes mistakes; and another person who does not care a hoot about integrity, honesty and is comfortable telling deliberate lies to mislead the people. But people amplify what they choose to. |

Dupeodus: Totally agree with you. However, this is because of the way Nigeria had been operating the various tiers of government. The fact is that the LGs are the tier of government closest to the people. They should be the engine of growth. We cannot because of today's deficiency not do what is right. Once the local governments are made as important as they should be with funds going directly to them, even though there will be waste at the beginning, credible and competent people will begin to take interest in them. People will begin to contest for their political offices. Ambode was working as local governments accountant when Tinubu noticed him at a time Obasanjo was squeezing Lagos State of local governments funds. I also agree with you. But Federalism is an arrangement that involves the sovereign(national) govt i.e. FG and the subnationals (States). It is the responsibility of each State to decide and create the number of LGs it can manage. It is an absurdity and contrary to the dictates of ''true federalism'' for FG to create LGs for States and be making direct allocations to them. State govts should be the one to create the LG and share resources with them.. The LGs cannot possibly operate in a sustainable manner without the support of the States. |
Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by mikeapollo: 12:38pm On Sep 25 |
ghm: Fair question. Let me answer it directly.
Yes, I apply the same standard. And that's the point.
If someone else—Obasanjo, Buhari, Jonathan, any governor, any minister—declared only assets and hid liabilities, I would say the same thing. Handover is assets and liabilities. Full stop.
But here's the distinction I'm drawing: I am not demanding 100% perfection. I am demanding 100% disclosure.
There is a difference between being flawless and being transparent. No human is flawless. But anyone who holds public office and publicly claims honesty is held to a standard of complete disclosure, not selective disclosure. That is not perfection—that is the minimum.
The person in question did not accidentally omit the debts. For 12 years, he never mentioned them. He only acknowledged them when Soludo's government flagged it. That is not a mistake. That is a pattern of selective truth-telling.
On consistency:
You ask if I condone mediocrity in others. No. But there is a hierarchy of accountability:
A private citizen who lies about their finances is a private matter. A public officeholder who lies about their finances is a public matter. A public officeholder who publicly vouches for their own honesty and then selectively discloses—that is a breach of public trust.
The standard is not "perfection." The standard is honesty about what you know and what you owe. He failed that standard. If someone else fails it, I will say the same.
So yes—apply the same rule. That is exactly what I am asking for. Okay. You gave a good response and made strong defense. Well, appreciated. What about someone: i. who said that they had already met the revenue target for the year in August, but it was discovered to be untrue, and the country went ahead to borrow to support the national budget after he made such comment? ii. who congratulated the NNPC in 2024 saying the refinery in PH had been successfully repaired and has started refining crude oil to petroleum. But it now turned out that it is false and they still continue to import refined products? Just asking to be educated. I have refrained from mentioning names so people would not know who I am referring to and read mischievous meanings into the discussion (some people are just amebo) |
Investment › Re: Nigerian Stock Exchange Market Pick Alerts by mikeapollo: 12:12pm On Sep 25 |
ghm: Another truth: the standard has become so low in this country that we compare someone who lies twice to someone who lies a hundred times—as if the first is a saint. A lie is a lie.
Handover shouldn't just be assets. It should be assets and liabilities. To think he didn't know what he did is either childish or ignorance.
What I said was: if he had declared it as it is all this while, he wouldn't be explaining and explaining now. Rufai Oseni asked the same question—why hasn't he ever mentioned it until Soludo's government flagged it?
A higher standard is required from someone who publicly vouches for his honesty. Fair point to make. But are we applying the same rule consistently? In order words, you expect someone to show 100% integrity or perfection in what he/she says or gives as his account. Do you apply the same standard, yardstick to others as well, in every other issue or matter? Do you expect one person to be 100% in integrity, but ready to condone less integrity with excuses when it concerns others?. Just asking so I can be educated |

ololufemi: My brother, 13% derivation fund is not small if the money was piped directly towards the Local Government Areas where the resources are extracted from.
The resource derivation fund should not go to the State but go ditectly to the Local Government Area where those resources are situated and extracted for development purposes and social projects. ;Local Governments in Nigeria are the most inept, clueless and incompetent layer in governance. They are just almost useless. The so called autonomy and direct allocations may lead to catastrophe.

Dupeodus: Why Nigerians think they are entitled to fuel subsidy beats me. Almost all African countries around Nigeria do not subsidise petroleum products. Yes, Nigeria has oil. However, per capita quantity is minuscule. The oil is also in the ground. It costs money to extract, refine and distribute it. If the government spends all the money on fuel subsidies like we were doing before, I wonder what will be left to do other things. Today, some state and local governments are testifying that it is the increased allocations enabled by withdrawal of subsidies that is making them do what they are doing. Why do you think, Nigeria, as a member of OPEC, should not subsidize the cost pf petroleum to her citizens? Can you mention one single member of OPEC where price of fuel per income is as expensive as Nigeria? Can you mention one single member of OPEC that exports crude and imports refined petroelum? Ordinarily, petroleum products should be cheaper in Nigeria than many African countries because we have crude more than most of tehm. It is called ''comparative advantage'' It is the corruption, inefficiencies and mismanagement of the 4 refineries that is making us buy fuel at high prices. |

Firstholdco did not as they do not intend paying interim dividend. By this time next week we should know how much we are getting from our banks  You believe that? They did similar format for full year FY2025 and no dividend was paid by them. It is very doubtful if Access will pay any interim dividend this year.

presiade: LoL Atiku was in the opposition, so he needed to clear his name, and that’s why he needed to use a diplomatic entourage visa to follow the former senate president, Bukola Saraki, to the States. As an opposition, you need to show what the incumbent and his party are doing wrongly and how your strategies are better. If you then add the burden of proof of you needing to clear your name of criminal allegations to that, you’ll be on a long thing as the 2019 presidential election result showed.
An incumbent, on the other hand, has demonstrated to have the popular votes in the first place, even with the same allegations that you’re throwing at him again. Hence, he only needs to show what he has done and what he will continue to do to retain the same old voters who believed in him initially and possibly win a few more. Those who did not believe “your” propaganda against him in the first election most likely won’t believe you now. You then need to change your tactics. Please don't add a spin to it. Atiku did not use the diplomatic entourage visa of Saraki to visit US! It was Bukola Saraki that followed Atiku to give him support. Atiku hired PR lobbyists firms who worked in the diplomatic circles and they assisted him, alongside Obasanjo to help him get his US visa. |

He may then pay a visit to the States in the last minute after the opposition have wasted precious time that they could have spent on real issues. That could be wrong strategy! You don't allow opponents to confuse and win over potential voters that could vote for you. You destroy their propaganda as quickly as possible. As president, you don't allow time to fly by before you expose your opponents lies. If you wait and the lies travel very far, it could influence some people and even make it more difficult for you to convince and win them back. The same APC govt did similar thing to Atiku, so he quickly organized a trip to US. Tinubu should do same. |

Zagee: Thieves don't step foot on US soil. At the same time, if someone is really a ''thief'', the US would allow the person to come, so he could be arrested. It does not make sense for the US to see someone as a culprit who has committed a crime in US and still deny such a person access to come to the US. Is the US not interested in arresting and prosecuting the ''thief''? It does not make sense because we see how the CIA goes everywhere to arrest fraudsters and criminals outside US e.g. Hushpuppi. They said similar lies against Atiku but he eventually visited US and nothing happened to him. If I were Tinubu's advisers, I would advise him to visit the US and nothing would happen. It is all politics. |
