What did the previous administration do?

If you must judge, you are mandated to extend a big portion of the blame to past administrations.

Even if water issue is to be addressed today, it cannot be completed in 4 years.

It now takes us to the question, what did previous administration do?

You MUST accept that this is the best governor Enugu has had in last 3 decades.

The state is moving in the right direction. Consistency is the only thing required now.

Best governor in what and how. Can you show us the 206 smart school he claimed to have built. How many hospitals has he built. How many low cost housing unit. How many roads has he built or you are judging his achievements by what his pr boys are saying

Lamba from paid writers seeking patronage. So the villagers in nkanu nsukka facing herdsmen attack are not from enugu. Since MBA became governor he has not solved the problem of herdsmen attacking villagers. Worse is even at night when oway and ol it there boys resumes work. Man who commissioned forest guards with torch light and whistle. Those ones kuku respect themselves and avoid anything forest

According to data bois every one in obedient is a general.

My friend you are not informed.

Ned had already concluded plans to merge Anioma with Orlu state project and move the capital from Asaba to Orlu.

It was Okowa that blew the whistle on Ned's secret plan .

If you needed one extra state you can easily get it from within your zone by carving it out from existing states .

There was no need to seek expansion and also get a state capital will having a leg stand into the Niger Delta region.

Since Anim-Oma state project collapsed with the overwhelming rejection by the people of Delta North, we are no longer hearing of Ada state project or any other one

Why?

What you need in the SE is more representation at the centre and the easiest way to check this imbalance in state numbers is to seek for a 6th state within the SE zone.

Oga take your drugs as at when due. How can orlu be the capital of anioma. Do you even know where orlu is and where asaba is. Do you know the distance between both locations.

You can't use CBN dollar rates when ninety percent of people can't get dollars at that rate. Why is this hard to understand for so many people?

Who will be given dollars at 450 during Buhari regime and use it to import for resale? Only a fool will do that. If you are given 500k dollars you sell it immediately and gain like 300k dollars in thirty minutes instead of paying for something in China or the USA that will not arrive in a month and that may sink on the high seas. So when there is a dual exchange rate meaning when the naira is not floated, it is just to enrich government friends. It is a mortal attack on the economy etc

Then oil used to fund like 95 percent of non loan funded federal budget meaning if fed revenue was 20 billion dollars then oil was 19 billion dollars out of it but now oil is 25 percent of the same revenue and this means the budget can now be 74 billion dollars instead of the 20 billion dollars it was before assuming oil output remains the same and this is why the states are awash with funds they weren't expecting. It came from VAT and CIT in the main. Apart from the Enugu governor, all other governors should be worshipping the FG for the money they now have to perform. The money was there for fifty years and no one unearthed it.

In conclusion, all states are afloat now, not because of the ingenuity of their governors apart from Enugu but because of the ingenuity of the President.

GOVERNMENT DOES NOT GET TO FIX THE EXCHANGE RATE! THEY CAN'T. THE GOVERNMENT HOWEVER CAN PRINT MONEY TO SPEND AND ONCE THEY DO THIS THE CURRENCY WILL BE DEVALUED. WHAT DO YOU NOW WANT TO MAKE OF A GOVERNMENT PRINTING MONEY WHILE SAYING IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE NAIRA TO FALL IN VALUE?

THAT IS WHY THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN A LAUGHING STOCK FOR DECADES.
HOW DO YOU INTENTIONALLY STARVE A CHILD AND THEN START W0NDERING TO ONLOOKERS WHY IT HAS KWASHIORKOR?

What is special about enugu

FSBoperator:
You have no constitutional right to subsidized fuel .

Why should Fuel be subsidized but the agricultural products from northern farmers which are heavily subsidized by the FG are not ?

What makes crude oil in the Niger Delta everyone's common wealth but the gold in zamfara not ?

Atiku should first nationalize all of Zamfara gold that is being mined by terrorists and their enablers use the revenue from it to pay for fuel subsidy.

Trash. Tinubu is president let him nationalise zamfara gold

Napata77:
Don't be ridiculous. That coastal highway will open up trillions of naira in business.

The real fraud was that 2nd Niger bridge if you ask me. Because till today, nobody has explained what exactly was wrong with the 1st Niger Bridge that they had to build a second one next to it.

If the main road has not opened trillions of business what makes you think its costal road that will do that. Abi people have not been travelling from lagos to calabar and back before tinubu costal road

Napata77:
We are not in America, Mr Man.

We don't pay for everything we do in dollars, so take that nonsense away.

Many of these projects are being paid for in Naira to indigenous contractors.

ALSO, in addition to the standard monthly allocation, the FG distributed a special ₦435 billion infrastructure and security intervention fund to state governments during the first half of 2026 alone to support state projects.

The vastly increased number and scale of infrastructural projects in all the states is clear evidence of VASTLY INCREASED allocation from Abuja, so go and sit down with this your fake calculation. The FG is PUMPING the states with money to build up their infrastructure.

You are not in America and don't spend dollars but govt revenue comes in dollars, budget is pegged in dollars, custom and excise duties is determined by dollars, imports for production and consumption is in dollars. Yet you don't spend dollars. Between 2023 and today the price of cement moved from 3500 to 12k. So also price of iron rods, sand, granite, tiles etc. You spend naira yet prices are jumping up by 400%

Bloggers and fake story. No be only 200m na 2 trillion.

Being a job seeker in the current Nigeria is the most difficult and devastating situation to be

Depression is fast taken over some people without strong social and family support

The number of recent graduates I have seeking for job are increasing and there seems to be no hope insight

The economy is simply not creating enough jobs and the number of graduates have sky-rocketed

University both federal and state will graduate hundreds of thousands
Polytecnic both federal and state will graduate hundreds of thousands
College of education, nursing school etc will graduate hundreds of thousands


But job market will only employ tens of thousands. So what happens to the rest. The same is repeated year in year out

Anambra state has tripplled its igr from the meager 10b obi left it in 2014 below enugu and abia,obiano trippled it in 8 yrs and soludo is poised to double obiano's in 5 yrs......obi was rather abysmal, couldn't harness the commercial capacity of anambra as the business hub of the SE to bolster the states igr to number one in SE.

Still saved everything in his bank to bolster its capital base why the state suffered.

How then does obi tend to increase our tax to gdp,how does he intend to bolster govt finances without being over dependent on oil? Remember he said borrowing was wrong.

Also can someone pls explain why anambra has a lower igr than enugu and abia with a higher population and larger commercial sector?

Need a smart obidient to lets discuss this.

Its quite revealing also that the last 10 states are from the north behind ebonyi with a smaller population and land size and also lower allocations.....the north terribly lags behind the south in development and the northern govs really need to wake up.

There is no trophy for who generates the most tax.

Fake news. Where engu see 95 billion from

Correct story. The 900 people are governors, ministers, perm sec, md/people of parastals, deputy gov, top gov officials and their friends and family

I triple dare him. See this one up trying to deflect ..as anyone being killed for abusing mnk

The problem is, if you want a good enough water park, the park has to charge high enough prices to keep it good enough.

Let us face some hard truths.

A lot of you were saying Argentina looks like a first world country when they were hosting a FIFA youth tournament a few years ago. What you guys don't know is that all that was paid for by loans, which are strangling the country, to the point that they voted an economist who is trying to fix the problem.

It is the same thing with the water park. What you are seeing is what the payment people pay for can afford.


Also, let me correct you about something. No business asks you how much your minimum wage is before they sell you anything, otherwise, you won't be able to buy many things in this country. I HAVE been seeing this minimum wage argument of yours for decades, and it is crap, to be honest. You are not earning minimum wage, other wise you won;t be able to comment here.


You Nigerians, yes, you, regardless of party, want the government to pay for everything for you. You want to be first world without doing the hard work of being first world. And governments since independence have tried and failed repeatedly, and are forced to take austerity measures. But none of them, especially this tinubu government, are doing the needful to fix the problem


So, yes , my analogy stands. What you are seeing is what people are paying for, it is not what due to corruption or anything. It is what was paid for.

And yes, we need to vote out APC and vote in a new government that would improve our productivity, and our tax to gdp ratio. We better face truths. Hard ones.

Is this a govt or private facility. Abi subsidy dey the park. What if they charge more than Parks in Yankee and water no dey who then?

Funny, I was at Mandillas two weeks back and we almost got into a fight with them. Leave us, we know where we're going, no... Before you know it, they turn aggressive and insultive

I was surprised seeing able bodied young adults do that

Go to the front of the suit warehouse, you'll see the street men standing in front, waiting to beg anyone that comes there to buy suit

Before, it was this Niger boys and girls with curly hairs dragging your trouser, who you can easily shake off, then it progressed to masquerade guys at Iyana-Ipaja and Ayobo, who continue begging long after Isese festival has ended, now we have fully grown men joining the club

U call it begging. Those boys call it hustle. U will hear them say we do go hustle. So they don't feel shame. Come lgando last road. See boys way go hail you and clear road for you

Hunger is a deadly enemy. They are even calling names to distribute 2 noodles worth 500 naira. Not even hungry man size. Kai I rebuke poverty in Jesus's name

This is why subsidy should have be retained. Instead of fighting the corruption in subsidy, tinubu removed it and gave the money to governors with immunity and hundreds of security. Today governors are building flyovers, icc centres, airports, starting airlines, new govt house. Things that has zero impact on the citizens

Tinubu should direct this statement to umahi. Umahi built 13 flyovers where there is no traffic. Shopping malls that are empty. A crayon airport that cost billions yet no airline is using it.

WizardOfNG:
We don't have to make noise and roll around on the floor dramatically like you lot.

We will handle it. Once State/regional policing is in place then best believe SW is marching forward at the speed of light.

As things stands, those who want Nigeria's security architecture unmodernised, non intelligence-based, and without DNA-centric optimised capacity to destroy crime, will always get success.

Stop fooling yourself and attempting to decieve others because you are desperate to see an Igbo Presidency. Intelligent Nigerians know the solutions. They also know why those solutions are not been implemented as quickly as possible.

Nigeria's major woes did not start in 2023, when PBAT became President, and won't end when he leaves.

Our challenges will only get resolved when intelligent Nigeria commit to consistently learning the nature of our problems and supporting the medium to long term solutions needed to make our nation a developed one.

You guys claim to be educated yet, how long do you think it took China to get where they are today after serious precious challenges? 3 years you are giving Tinubu to turn Nigeria into Dubai?

The North, for example, should be forced to end the Almajiri system asap and face perhaps a two children per family population control policy China adopted ( one child limit) to deal with a difficult period where China's huge population was became a threat to the economic prospect of the nation.

Yet, can we have such a conversation in Nigeria? No. Not possible. Yet you lot who are supposedly the educated class keep being emotional about everything and shouting Tinubu up and down.

Nigeria and Nigerians aren't ready for solutions. Blame culture and dislike of yourselves means you like to put blame on other and singular individuals (Tinubu) for solutions provisions we must all be a part of.

You just like to type grammar. Tax law took less than 2 years to become law and implementation started immediately but state police is taking forever. Even if timibu wins a second term he won't do jack because he will starting plotting against 2031 election

They are quite because president is a yoruba man, imagine if it was Jonathan even tinubu go enter street protest.

Two kwantries holding meeting that they won't implement the outcome

Waste of time. World bank doesn't care if tinibu uses Nigeria as collateral. They will give loan. Next govt that comes in will collect more loans from world bank. Like that until Nigeria bankrupt like Greece and Argentina

China should also take over electricity sector.
Israel should handle security.
China should handle roads
UK should handle health care
China should handle waste disposal
