I'm happy that both the president and the CBN governor as well as those in most critical sectors of the economy are all Yorubas. At least, it would be on record how they destroyed Nigeria.

They voted for useless old rogue because of tribalism and religious sentiments. May karma deal with them ruthlessly.

As for Peter Obi, you did your best to rescue a country that was under the yoke of criminals. You studied Nigeria's problems and offered solutions on how you will tackle them effectively. But they ganged up against you and used all manner of lies and blackmails in trying to ruin your hard earned reputation. You're the most honest politician and selfless leader to ever emerge from this country. May posterity forever be kind to you.

The country is already destroyed. I don't even want Peter Obi to emerge anymore. Let Tinubu bring back Nigeria to how it was or be ready to face the consequences.

spy24:
I think the northerners issue with Tinubu is coming more from a place appointment than the economy

Thy are only beginning to realize that they are not holding any key sector in the country

From the security architecture to key ministries and even the Senate

It's funny if you believe their issue with Tinubu is not connected to economy. Fuel is currently selling at between 700 to 1000 naira per litre. This is a region were poverty was already hovering around 90%. Then imagine the excruciating poverty they would be passing through now.

Even Southerners with lots of diaspora remittances, relatively lower fuel price, higher employment rates and much less poverty are in pains then relate to how bad it will be for Northerners now.

The North is facing a double whammy, both political and economic wise.

Sizwezi:
😂. Buhari their brother started it , so why are they complaining ? They chose South West for alliance, so they should calm down and enjoy what the West have to offer. 😂

They don enter one chance finally. Even Tinubu knows they didn't actually vote for him. Most of them voted for Atiku. Even Buhari didn't actually support Tinubu, yet jagaban outsmarted them completely and rigged himself in. If they couldn't stop him when he was outside power, is it now he is in control and has put Yorubas everywhere that they can stop him?

If they try to make noise, Igboho will threaten them with Oduduwa. He is already doing so after Gumi said rubbish.

Other Southern presidents gave them too much regard but Tinubu has completely humbled them

Christistruth00:
Have you been to Abia State in the last 10 years?

Yes, I have been to Aba even recently. Pictures of Aba will humble you because it's far better than those rusted shanties you call cities in SW.

Stop blaming Igbos and Niger deltans for doing the right thing. Rather blame the evil hypocrites who have destroyed this country because of tribalism. These bastards supported a criminal, impostor and forger just because of tribalism.

The just shall live by faith, so Igbos and Niger deltans who were just will survive the evil. Watch out and see how these evil bigots will all die by suicide.

ccffwx:
Very simple. It's because he's Yoruba so the Yoruba noise makers have gone silent. That's a lesson for Igbo and Niger Deltan gullible simpletons who go along with any propaganda pushed by Yorubas without thinking deep. Yorubas castigated Jonathan and pushed him out of office when he didn't do as much as their god, Tinubu. Now, it's Tinubu's time and they are quite because he's Yoruba. Let's learn to use our heads and stop being gullible.

Nonny95:
Now naira is falling nobody is blaming the CBN Gov. They are going to look for who to blame.

Why are certain NIGERIANs like this?

The ronu bastards and their tribalism will destroy Nigeria.
Thank God both Tinubu and the CBN governor are both Yorubas. At least, they can't blame anyone again. In the past they blamed Jonathan. Blamed Emefiele. But now, they can't even blame Tinubu or blame the foolish CBN governor because they're Yorubas.

Nigerians can now see these people for exactly who they are and what they represent.

Spits!

No single politician dead or alive is half honest like Peter Obi. If you want to argue blindly, mention the person!

ElSudani:
Campaign after the inept and corrupt Obi has been resoundingly rejected by Nigerians.
The same thief whose convoy was caught with 250 million naira in cash. The same man who invested government funds in his family's business was being repackaged as a saint!
Nigerians saw through the sleight of hand and quickly rejected the 419 candidate.

Lol, the bigots are still blinded by tribalism. At least, Tinubu has shown you guys proof of how a country can be ruined kpatakpata

They thought it was in the past when they got away with all these criminalities. Obidients comprise the brightest brains in Nigeria and they're in virtually every field. So busting their criminalities now is very easy.

Useless bastards!!!

Even El Rufai was immediately silenced and sent on exile. Others that fail to learn their lesson will suffer even worse situation than El Rufai.

Yoruba ti take over

Who else has noticed that Northerners are now crying blood already? Tinubu is not even up to a year in office and they're crying bitterly already. Tomorrow, the Yoruba supreme Court Justice will supervise the announcement of Tinubu as winner. CBN, customs and virtually every critical sector is now in the hands of Yorubas yet baba Tinubu continues to appoint more Yorubas.

It's obvious that Tinubu no send this people again. Fuel is now sold from 700 to 1000 naira per litre in the North, a region that was already the world's poverty capital. Then I wonder what the situation will be there now

They're even saying that Tinubu won't return after 4 years. But let's assume they survive the next 4 years, do this people think Tinubu is like Jonathan that walked away when they pressured him? These people forgot they're dealing with the invincible Jagaban! If Buhari couldn't stop Tinubu, who among them can stop him now Very soon, Tinubu will remove Mahmoud Yakubu and replace him with another Yoruba omoluabi who will write the result and announce him winner, regardless of how they vote on election day

Someone should go and tell our Northern muslim brothers that it's game over!!! Tinubu smartly gave them a Greek gift called Muslim-muslim ticket and while they slept, he completely decimated them.

Tinubu for 8 years

Nvestor02:
That's Arabs mentality for you, they only after developing everywhere that they set their foot on and god no dey disappoint in given them better natural resources too.

This is the main reason why Israel would never allow Palestinian to go because Arab are totally blessed.

Meanwhile the least develop city of Palestinian is far better than anywhere in the SOUTH EAST.

Below is a suburb of Enugu. I can show you other beautiful cities in the South East like Owerri, Aba, Onitsha etc. I posted that picture of Enugu on Quora and even foreigners attested to its beauty.

People like you that live in rusted shanties should never have opinion when people are discussing about cities. Over 90% of Yorubas live in slums like the second picture which is oshobo.

Slum dweller!

I have observed same and was shocked. Even Abuja doesn't appear better than Gaza. Take a look at the rusted shanties yorubas call cities in the South West and you will weep for the Blackman.

Spits!

reddingtonblack:
You are highly wrong, Manufacturing entails two processes namely
creation and assembling

Creation as do with the production of needed parts

Assembling which is the final stage entails joining parts together to get the desired product design.

Nigeria don't have raw material require for engine blocks, body or electronics .... what Innoson or GAC does is imported all required parts and assemble them in their plant

The import/excise duty on imported parts is far less compared to importing a finished Car, that is the catch.

Never say Manufacturing and Assembly are the same again, the later is just one of the phases of production line.

Lol, you're now comparing this assembly warehouse that is just opened to Innoson? Who told you that Innoson imports all its required parts? Why not ask questions on things you're ignorant of?

Innoson produces its tyres, and all its plastic components including front and back lights in their Enugu factory.
They outsource their batteries from Ibeto in Nnewi.
Electricals from Cutix Nnewi.
Break pads, wipers, upholstery etc. from local producers in Nnewi.
The only parts they import is their engine and rolling sheets since we don't have functional steel plants. They have their moulds for shaping the sheets into the required shapes and sizes!

How can you compare such company with massive backward integration and technological transfer with GAC?

GAC is just like Pegeaut, Volkwagen, Mercedes etc that operated in Nigeria in the past. They were all operated by the foreigners from their parent company and only employed few underpaid Nigerians to do the labourer works. So, in essence, they add little or no value to the local economy. Worse still, they will also convert their profits to dollars and repatriate to China, thereby crashing the naira even more. It is primitive tribalism that is making Sanwo olu and other bigots to be celebrating this nonsense instead of encouraging real vehicle producers like Innoson.

The only way Nigeria could have successfully overcome its toxic nationhood was by becoming prosperous. If Buhari who is Fulani, actually had something to offer and helped Nigeria become prosperous, both Christians and muslims, Hausas, Igbos, Yorubas etc won't even care about his ethnicity or religion. Same is also applicable to Tinubu. But unfortunately, these men are the worst of the worst. Instead of bringing solutions that would radically develop Nigeria, they decided to ride on tribal and religious sentiments. They promoted Igbophobia as a rallying point to make other Nigerians accept them.

Today, Nigeria is going down and fast too. The signs are already showing that the foundations of this country is going to be shaken soon. From the divisive rhetorics of politicians and religious leaders, to the massive take up of arms by non state actors, then throw in the economic depression and skyrocketing poverty. It doesn't require a genuis to know that the ship called Nigeria is about to hit a huge iceberg.

Bandits and terrorists are already becoming entrenched in most parts of NW, NE and NC. There doesn't seem to be any solution. They continue to get stronger. Worse still, Biafran secessionists have not only taken up arms, but they're getting massive funding and local support. Many of the groups are now operating all over SE and SS. There have been reports of some of them attacking Nigerian soldiers even as far as Bakassi. Even going against the Navy in the open waters.

Nnamdi Kanu has become a hero in prison. The Nigerian government can't kill him, they can't release him and unfortunately for them too, they can't hold him forever. Even as he is in detention, Simon Ekpa has taken over and is even far more belligerent than Nnamdi Kanu. Ekpa even behaves like a mad man unlike Nnamdi Kanu that is even more responsible.

When a fanatical group takes up arms and have a strong ideology like the Biafran secessionists, it becomes almost impossible to stop them. Had it been Peter Obi was allowed emerge in a free and fair election. He would have turned around our economy and used dialogue to disarm the secessionists. The secessionists would have no other option than to give up. Because their diaspora funding will dry up and local support for them will end.

Any discernable observer can easily notice that Nigerian army is losing the initiative in the East. The secessionists are becoming more formidable with each passing day. As for those who are hoping for another type of Biafra vs Nigeria civil war, they should perish that thought because it won't happen. Nigeria no longer operates regional semi autonomy governments like in the first republic. So, national border wars can't happen again. What will likely occur is guerilla warfare. The question is, can a broken country like Nigeria win a guerilla war against a determined secessionists? It will eventually become a war of attrition that would go on for many years. No battle fronts but hit and run fluid attacks that will weaken the state until it finally gives up.

Like I said, 2023 will be remembered in history as the year Nigeria failed to save itself!

2023 will go down in history as the year Nigeria lost its last chance to reinvent itself and truly become a great nation. For the first time, a politician who is incorruptible emerged as a front-runner. Not only that, he was also Igbo Christian and was accepted by many Nigerians across religious and tribal divides. The man proffered practical solutions to Nigeria's many problems and had the best chance of solving them.

For the first time, the masses appeared to be in control and not godfathers or cabals hoping to devour the national treasury. Every poll and postulations indicated the incorruptible man was going to win. All of a sudden, INEC shut down their server to prevent him from emerging winner. That singular act destroyed any hope of Nigeria ever getting it right.

From the time of Goodluck Jonathan, there were indications that Nigeria's future was uncertain both politically and economically. Okonjo Iweala sounded the alarms. But no one listened. Instead, Buhari emerged president. A man that is completely bereft of sound mind and lacked even the most basic requirements to rule a complex country like Nigeria. But due to tribalism and religious sentiments, they made him president. From 2015 to 2023 when he ruled, politicians stole the country dry. Buhari who had nothing to offer could only sit and watch while the country deteriorated badly. Anyone could easily tell you that Jonathan's years were like heaven on Earth, compared to Nigeria of today that is like hell.

If the 8 years of Buhari's maladministration and Nigerians foolishness in electing him president could be forgiven, but allowing another useless man to succeed him can't be forgiven.

This idiot and Tinubu are both very stupid. A country where animalistic neanderthals are in control will always be in total chaos like Nigeria.

They have now ruined Nigeria completely yet making noise everywhere.

Bastards!!!

Eteka1:
innoson is assembling and rebadging CKD cars imported from china

Lol, do you see it answering BAIC or any other name aside Innoson? Of course, it's very expensive and unviable for an emerging company like Innoson to invest in body designing and customization. So, they liased with existing Chinese company for some of their brands. It doesn't mean the Chinese own Innoson, otherwise it would be answering BAIC, and not IVM.

Innoson produces most of its parts in Nigeria while sourcing others locally in Nnewi. It's called backward integration and that's how economies grow, not by bringing in vehicles in containers while the Chinese owners only employ few Nigerian labourers to do the mechanical work.

Igbos are not your mate!!!

What sort of incoherent animal language is that?

Did they swap your brain with indomie or what? Can't you see where they wrote farmland? The lands op posted were lands located in urban centers with buildings around them, not farmlands.

Get sense!

forgiveness:
See the original price of land inside Nsukka.

adekolaelect:
Sw is progressing while some region developing in hate and Terrorists Sit at home.

Lol, ignorant one. Anambra alone has one vehicle manufacturing company and several vehicle assembly plants, all indigenous owned! We are not even making noise about it, but ordinary assembly plant built by Chinese is what you're bragging with?

Tomorrow, they will start repatriating their profits to China while naira continues to crash.

Maize247:
Nice one. Lagos State stands to gain much by patronizing local manufacturing of automobile in Lagos than outside the state

Lol, you're only enriching the Chinese people that own it. They will assemble it in Lagos, sell it to you, and repatriate the profit to China. It's unlike Innoson that is into fully owned by a Nigerian and sources most of its parts locally.

I don't know why these people always lie and use cheap propaganda in everything. How is a PROPOSED 50,000 capacity assembly plant by GAC now the biggest in Nigeria and West Africa when Innoson vehicle manufacturing company is already on 60,000 capacity, fully automated

Spits!!!

Lanrelagboi:
The goal of GAC is to produce 50,000 vehicles annually and easily making it the largest auto manufacturing plant in Nigeria 🇳and the west African sub-region

ElSudani:
See logic o. If you can raise 25 million, by what logic did you think someone living in Ibadan cannot raise the same amount?
The people who are buying the Enugu land are hustling in places like Ibadan in the first place.
Look, it is terrible that land is too costly in Iboland. Land being one of the factors of production if too expensive will cause investors will look for a better alternative.
Guess what, they often come to the southwest or the north.

You saw the examples given by op, a land owner in Nsukka earned 25 million from his land while the one in Ibadan could only earn 650k. Automatically, the Nsukka man now has massive purchasing power unlike the Ibadan man. He could achieve a whole lot with that and change his life unlike the Ibadan man. Land being expensive doesn't discourage investors, otherwise no one would be investing in Lagos, Abuja or P.H. They would all be running to the North or parts of SW where land is dirtcheap, but that isn't happening. On the contrary, land being too cheap is an indication of low purchasing power and will discourage investors. There are many places in the SW urban centers without decent housing and low purchasing power is the cause of it. Spending millions to build modern flats when the locals can only pay 120,000 naira annual rent would be a bad investment. I hope you get the point now.

Offpointng:
A simple Question, do you know how big Ibadan is??

It doesn't matter even if it's bigger than Niger state. That land in question has buildings nearby. In other words, it is buy and build! You can't even get a buy and build land in my village for 1 million!

It goes to show how low the purchasing power of the people is. Such low purchasing power will always result in multi-dimensional poverty

Why all these wailings na? You go explain tire yet no evidence

mecustika:
Ibadan is big city with vast land while nsukka is very small town surrounded by rural villages. Ibadan has big businesses and companies with a large population while nsukka town is a very small place with no big commercial activities nor any company at all. It equally has a very tiny population.The high cost of properties at nsukka is as a result of all the people living in adjoining villages struggling to come up to the small town and the usual Igbo man's greed.
Ironically most of these properties are not owned by people living and doing businesses at nsukka, but by outsiders, mostly living abroad or doing businesses in other big cities. More over most of these properties are just used as status symbols because most the houses are unoccupied, as most people living in nsukka can not afford the rents.
For me it doesn't make sound economic sense to invest that kind of fund on properties that do not bring any returns.
Properties at good location in Ibadan have much more economic value than nsukka.

igwebuike01:
Competition and higher purchasing power. We are more capable to buy land in Lagos than Ibadan migrants

They don't even understand how economy works. If I can raise 25 million just by selling one plot of land. Then I can send my children abroad, give them loans for business, open a small factory or travel to Ibadan and buy up 20 plots for plantation with less than half the money! In other words, I'm automatically richer than my Ibadan counterpart whose 650,000 naira won't be able to make any difference in his life. Are we still wondering why over 90% of Ibadan is filled with decayed houses

Delusional clown deceiving himself. Every informed Nigerian today knows that SW is the capital of ritualism in Nigeria.

Lazy fuuls

Shijawesss:
No wonder 90 percent of Igbo men both young and old push drugs and do money ritual...Poor people

MXrep:

Even with survey plan and everything yet it goes for 650k. No wonder there is so much poverty in Ibadan with decayed houses. How can they ever be able to raise money if land with survey and everything can only fetch 650k, and with abeg o
