Wiping US?
Let me pretend I read that wrong

Do you mind the Nairaland Military Analyst ?

They do not know US wont parade weapons like Russia but Russia certainly understands and knows the DEMON they are dealing with.

Like one high ranked US General said at a point in time - Do not fear the weapons that you know of its existence much because there is a possibility someone somewhere has developed antidote. Fear the weapons that you cannot even imagine it exists.

Dare the United States at your own peril.

Error401:
The question is, Is Falana Wrong?

He observed that Air Peace has proven it can operate on international routes, adding that the airline currently flies to China, Israel, India and South Africa, using modern aircraft comparable to its foreign competitors.

I think he was wrong. Look at the above to see what he premised his arguments on. UK has her own standards which should be met. If Air Peace has not met it, UK would have made it clear to Air Peace what it needs to do to meet the standard.

Falana is known to always make unreasonable sound all over the place - Rabble rouser

Error401:
You are very stupppiddd Helinues or wetin dem dey call you. Didnt he made a reasonable suggestion or everything is about politics to you?

If you have been a victim to what he was saying you will know how insane it is. Does it even make sense that in 21 frequencies Nigeria does not have ONE?

Do you know Ethiopia, Uganda, SA all have national carriers?
You really need to use your brain to think and stop being so sentimental about everything. Maybe the money they pay you is not enough to book a flight so you dont really know the effect of these things! ODe

Nigeria bad management is a cause of not having a national carrier.

Ethiopia handles their national carrier like Saudi Arabia handles their Crude Oil.

The gap left by Gani Fawehinmi can not be filled by Falana.

Even some of his political commentaries are appalling.

"Notice-me-too-much" in some of his actions and always want to sound politically correct even when it seems so absurd.

Spoilt, Wasteful and Arrogant State Governors, who the public will never blame for anything but Presidency alone - Over to you.

Loot it like you are used to, afteral, it is the Presidency that Nigerians will be shouting at. The Governors behave recklessly and never show any regard for the citizens in their respective States, yet the citizens pretend as if they are not aware.

SmartPolician:
The response to your question will be like a lecture of 24 hours or an entire textbook.

First, maintain the status quo; don't float the naira yet. After all, he has already removed the petrol subsidy and the burden is now on the people now.

Short term

Flag off a massive buy made-in-Nigeria-product campaign across the country. However, you must practice what you preach. Ban all MDAs from using imported vehicles - they should patronise only vehicles made in Nigeria. It will save this country a lot of FX.

Those who can access FX from banks must only be for business purposes. People who are not known to be genuine importers should go to the black market. Airline operators and parents paying school fees abroad can also access it because for the airlines, you are subsidizing the industry. For the parents, it's an investment that will pay in the future because those kids will form a buck of Nigerians who live abroad and send remittances to their families in Nigeria. See, leadership na common sense.

If other arms of government see the executive taking this step, their conscience will keep pricking them until they follow suit. If they don't, visit the national assembly. Engage them and tell them to do the same. Do the same whenever the judiciary has major events and invite you. When Buhari started his buy made-in-Nigeria-product campaign, Saraki started wearing clothes made in Aba. Our military was ordering shoes made from Aba. See, leadership at the top is everything. They stopped when they realised that Buhari wasn't serious; he was not leading the campaign by example.

Engage the media, fund national orientation agency and ministry of information. They should go to the markets, malls, schools, churches, mosques, etc to enlighten people about why they should start patronising products made in Nigeria.

Long term plan

Boost Nigeria's power generation capacity and transmission capacity. Invest massively in road infrastructure. Grant 5-year tax breaks to startups. Fund Bank of Industry so they can support SMEs across the country.

Visit major gas companies around the world and invite them to come and harness Nigeria's gas reserves. Nigeria can make billions of dollars per annum from this.

Find out why Nigeria isn't meeting her OPEC quota in crude oil export and make sure the challenge is fixed. Lobby OPEC to increase Nigeria's crude oil sales and bring in more USD into the country.

Invest in cash crops and ensure that the agencies that make them meet international requirements for exportation enlightens local farmers to meet these requirements. Deploy the military in the north and declare state of emergency in LGAs where terrorists don't let people farm in northern Nigeria. Dead or alive, you must be in charge of your country. That's why you are paying a bunch of security operatives. Everyone must justify their pay.

Get a vibrant minister of information. He should engage the people through the media so they know what steps the government is taking to improve the country because many people are not enlightened. There's a reason the White House Press Secretary always holds media briefing. People need to know what the government is doing.

Bros, in four years, these bold steps will start yielding results. When you win your reelection, float the naira that time.

I can go on and on. Believe it or not, it's either Bola Tinubu has no leadership ideas or he is just here for business as usual. Either way, I am not convinced he knows what he is doing.

Nice submission and this is the kind of matured discourse I hope Nairaland can promote.

However, what you stated in your short term will not help the naira. You typed in your earlier post that Nigeria is heavily import dependent. So, if you consider the volume of daily transaction being consumed by importers, students, airline etc, you will understand that Naira will still be under immense pressure.

You also stated that removing the subsidy has put pressure on Nigerians and make them poorer. Yes I agree. However, with your short term plan, the gains made by Nigerians as a result of the fuel subsidy will still be used to subsidized the dollar demands of those you advised should access the Fx via banks.

Regarding the students being a future investment and sending remittances home. I disagree. Yes they send remittances home but not through the CBN. Remember going by your proposed policy, students get subsidised dollars through the Central Bank, which means they get it on the cheap. They are not loyal enough to re-channel and repay the country bank by sending the remittances via the Central Bank. They go to black market to get higher value for their remittances. How does this benefit the nation, having subsidised them when they are travellling abroad for studying.

Your long term plan fails to consider something critical. You build all your plans round the presidency. The presidency will need to send money to these state governors to get things done in their respective states. What happens if that money is looted by the state governors. We just saw an example of that in the palliatives money sent to the state Governors. What did they do with it? They have started looting the money. Will you still blame presidency for that?

I will still like to read your rebuttal. Thanks

SmartPolician:
You cannot be sane and still defend Tinubu at this point. For goodness' sake, you don't have to be an economist to know that why Naira was struggling to stay below 900 per USD was that the government was hedging it.

How can you float the naira in an import-dependent economy? Like how? Omo, APC wan totally destroy this country and have hired a bunch of tribal lunatics to always defend them online. This country has become scary.

I want to ask you a question and will appreciate if you can be civil with your response.

Do you support FG depleting our hard earned income by susidizing (intervening in the market) the Naira and create an artificial impression that Naira is doing well ? . While reaching your conclusion, factor in the fact that if that is the case, the FG will continue to be borrowing to fund our budget, making Nigeria to sink deeper in debt.

We spend Naira in Nigeria and not dollars. If we can start to improvise on some of the things we import from abroad, there will be less pressure on the Naira. Our behaviors need to be checked as well.

Know that if we go back to the old ways - Hajj, Jerusalem, Tuition Fee abroad and PTA - and all needless seminars and trainings embarked upon by Civil Servants will be subsidised by the FG.

I will like to read from you.

mariahAngel:
Restore constitutional order or what?
The people of Niger are not even clamouring for the so-called "restoration of constitutional order".
Treat the people well, they said never!

How many have you counted?

Do you expect the Nigeriens who are against the juntas to come protesting and be shot?

Bluntguy:
Always depending on imported goods from foreign countries. Why won't the Naira continue it's free fall against the dollar and other foreign currencies?

But when the buhari administration closed the border and was stimulating local.production, most Nigerians were screaming that borders should be open. Some even complained that local rice is not as sweet as imported rice.

To head a country is a tough choice.

All these are indirectly way of asking for more money.

Doctors always want to feel more superior than other professions and they are never satisfied with their wages

IT people, other professionals move to other climes to earn higher wages too and they won't attempt to hold the government hostage like doctors incessantly do.

Any of them can go to these places, others who.are not gainfully employed will be absorbed into the system.

Doctor's entitlement mentality is too much in this country

qtx:
Those are all the things we are asking that they be stopped. Is it a crime in demanding for a change? Must we continue in evil because it has been with us?

What you are asking for are valid but according to the system of government we practice, your concerns should be channelled through the State house of assembly, Senate and House of Rep.

Elections into these places are never taken seriously by the masses. Those elected do not even bother about the concerns of their people.

We are partly the cause of our problem.

Skankamola:
And we are still harvesting from abachas loot, we cant even talk of ibb. Do you have any idea we got into the current mess as a nation? How the federal civil service(including nigerian airways, refineries, seaports, railway corp, nitel, nepa, nipost...) were grounded through nepotism and corruption during the military era? You have any idea how many critics of the govt were murdered or jailed?

This is the effect of not teaching history in the school. Most people talking here now never experienced a military regime.

They can insult the president now and nothing happens. Try it during the military era, it's summary execution.

Leave them, let them be rambling on the internet.

victory36:
your democratic government is about to spend at least #825bn(over $1bn) on one runway, spent #130bn on a 127km expressway and you are talking about looting on a scale we have never witnessed. Dozens of youths died at lekki toll gate for demanding a better government, so where are the rights you are talking about?Abacha did much better than all your democratic governments combined. If a democratic government makes a decision, isn't it synonymous to a decree? Military, democratic, theocratic, monarchial, are all systems of government. What matters is the intent/purpose of whoever is in charge.

I stopped reading when I got to the bolded. Abacha that was touted as one of the worst head of states, who literally ruined Nigeria single handedly was the same person you were singing his praises.

So much for a critic

Those of you foaming in the mouth and calling for coup do not learn history.

Decree will take over and the constitution will be suspended. So tell me what rights do you have,?

Looting will be on a scale you have never witnessed. Nigeria will be set years back. A case study of Abacha is still fresh in our mind.

I doubt if any of you ever experienced military regime. African can evolve their own brands of democracy but definitely military regime is a no no. The military contributed immensely to the problem we are facing today.

The worst of democracy is better than the best of Military regime.

Gboom:
You no go school ni?
Is Gabon a West African country?

Someone that's sounds so unintelligible. @LagosPrince is not educated, reason he is always disgracing his lineage online.

Penguin2:
Lol!

I’m gonna wait to confirm that this is not fake news.

But in the meantime, if it’s true, then congratulations to Tinubu, ECOWAS and their brainless warmongers. They now have more countries to invade.

After invading Niger, they will invade Gabon. Or are they going to invade Niger without invading Gabon? They have to mad not to.

I’m so happy right now, if this news is true. Because I’m sure ECOWAS was already waiting to congratulate President Bongo for winning Third Time in a “free and fair” election even though the report of the Gabonese Electoral Umpire shutting down their Electronic Infrastructure, like INEC did, and even removing names of opponents from ballot papers has been everywhere.

Another reason I like this is that the PEPT will see what is happening in other countries because of disputed election. People are waiting on them to do justice, failure of which no one knows what the outcome will be.

Democracy is fast becoming unpopular in Africa and it’s because of poor Electoral management. The situation where votes no longer reflect the wishes of the majority of the voters, their will be disenchantment with the people seeking alternative way out.

If a coup happens in Nigeria today, Nigerians will celebrate it because we didn’t vote for the idiot in power.

If the PEPT likes, let it insult Nigerians like INEC did, let’s see what the outcome will be.

Is Gabon in West Africa? What is the business of ECOWAS with a non West Africa country?

For your mind, you have criticized when what you need is a proper education yourself.

Whiteangel1234:
Tinubu still dey dulling in Niger now Gabon , it's over for ECOWAS and west Africa

Gabon is an east African country.

ECOWAS has no business with Gabon but this will make ECOWAS to quickly strike in Niger Republic

The way Nigeria has been run in the past is the cause of the hardship and not Tinubu.

Tinubu is only trying to change Nigeria trajectory to destruction.

Nigerians want to continue in their old ways but expect Nigeria to transform to Dubai overnight.

You dey play in this country too much.

epondudu:
The same constitution gave the right to each state house of assembly to determine how they want to be govern and the people have spoken what is your own shey na by force Ni?
Some people's brain is filled with Àkamu sha.[/b]

Definitely you are an ignoramus.

Go to school, you won't listen. See how you are disgracing your lineage. The Constitution is supreme. The house of assembly you mentioned came to existence by the authority of the constitution.

Anything that runs contrary to the constitution is automatically null and void.

You are gradually dancing your way to prison, and we are warning you now. Had-I-Known always ends the case of people like you.

epondudu:
Why is your brain deep like deep freezer
Freedom of religion my foot go to North West and try nonsense as a Christian, or go to east and try nonsense as a Muslim then you will understand that there is nothing like freedom of any Shiiiit.
I don't like dumb Nigerians.

Even Sokoto which is in the North West and the seat of the caliphate, coexists with other religions.

So, you are not making any sense.

epondudu:
Ómo Óde stop talking and thinking with your behind,you are not from Ilorin you know nothing about Ilorin, no indegene is interested in that Shiiiit.
The people said they don't want it, they can go to Oyo,Osun,Ondo,even kwara is there why Ilorin?. even Ekiti didn't do that shit...ÓPONU

So the citizens of each state have the rights to override the constitution?

Even if only one person wants to practice Isese in Ilorin, his or her right is guaranteed under the constitution.

Some people are so dumb sha.

IconicR:
Mtcheww is it byforce to practice the isese something in a land they are not wanted

Are you making sense at all?

The constitution of Nigeria guarantee freedom of religion.

Who gave the Islamic clerics the authority to dictate to other religions in Ilorin?

Reality3080:
this seyi makinde is one of the most useless governors in d history of Nigeria

His government is nothing but lies n propaganda, street light dem no on am again
This man scattered roads in his first term n used it to campaign that he will do better in his 2nd term only to put people in misery

Security is nothing, all those auxiliary boys steal with confidence

Student bursary na voice mail

Just propaganda n noise on radio

Abeg if u ain’t staying in oyo state don’t quote me

Well said

Seyi Makinde @seyiamakinde



https://twitter.com/seyiamakinde/status/1696085706785931649

This man sits on a lot of grain of rice targeted as palliatives from the FG and has done nothing with lot of monthly allocation in his care.

What is the relevance of the Governor's forum which is alien to the constitution?.

Seyi Makinde, face proper governance in your state and stop all this show off.

Op. Just resume.

That's what you need to do next.

https://thenationonlineng.net/tinubu-sets-3-year-economic-revival-50million-jobs-target/

No one expects it to be be easy from the beginning. What we need is a blueprint that drives development,

Tinubu has stopped Nigeria from going into further debt - Now we can be reducing the debts instead of going deeper into it.

Next thing is for our institutions to be solid.

Gradually we will get there. I believe.

slivertongue:
comic relief. APC said the same thing under Buhari including Tinubu but turned out a disaster yet APC supporters hailed him only to turn around to call him a failure. They have started again with hardship, lies and fake promises. Ain't Tinubu seeking to borrow funds? dubious people kawai

You dont have to cry over everything.

If you want to criticize, make it constructive. You have only rambled, you have written nothing of note

APOPTOSIS:
America never forgives.
Avoid Crime at all cost.
It's truly a land of opportunities.
That's one country I know where someone can walk in with an empty wallet, a bottle of groundnuts and torn clothes and leave with genuinely acquired wealth.

Just avoid Crime and keep raking the money gradually. It may seem tough at the beginning, of which such is expected for any country but you must surely smile in the end. What I made in America in one year was more than what I made in Nigeria after 10 years of working in the Federal civil service. So pathetic Ogaaa.
I pray you recover from this mental distortion.

2 Things God will surely tell u to avoid in the U.S.
1st...Avoid Bad women @ all cost ( If possible all ladies)
Finally......Avoid Bad Company and Crime.
Thereafter, watch yourself glow with pride...

What about "try and avoid stray bullets too" ?

BeardedmeatR:
Then the Us court will find him guilty and wait for his illegal tenure to be over and extradite him to do time for his crimes

Has the University, which was the sole authority to verify the authenticity of either or both of the certificate, confirmed that either or both of the certificate was a fake? If yes, put the sources of your link here.

TajuDEENaMao:
With this alone Tinubu is a goner. The supreme court of Nigeria will have no choice than sacking him from office.

Atiku has closed his submission since. They are all waiting for judgement. All these are irrelevant as they were not even tendered in court.

PaulH07:
But what of Doctors that have gotten a job to work there.

Are they denied visas as rampant as this too, or they have a special visa?

Thank you.

Every case is unique and different. When it comes to visa issuance, you need to focus on what applies to you and discard the ratio.

IjebuWarrior:
Wellu donu with over-lying ooo. 🙄

Okay, I wish you become a victim soon.

You will know US Immigration law is one of the most draconian in the world.
