I am a yoruba man, I got blocked here on nairaland severally because of my staunch support for Tinubu. My friend laughed at me today because of the state of our nation and my believe in Tinubu for a new Nigeria. I don't care about Tinubu , I cared about Nigerians and my family at home. Tell me in Tinubu six months as president,a policy he has made to cushion the pain and suffering of Nigerians. He never cared, all he was doing was to travel around the world to patch his long term damage reputation which to me is irreparable, while putting his allies and loyalist in key offices. I was there when Osinbajo was a few month or weeks president and he ensured dollar was pegged at 350 from over 700 Buhari left it. Human being are involved here, and not animals.Today many Nigerians are living below the poverty line which means Nigerians are poor than poor, yet things are damn expensive and nothing seems affordable to the poor again even garri in the market.This type of settings give rise to insecurity, higher crime rate and many menace that could jeopardize the damage reputation of our country further. He should think of a way to stabilize the economy, after which we can gradually transit to the invisible canaan he is promising, which no one sees. Enough is enough, soon Nigerians will start throwing stones at their convoy after they push us to the wall. Despicable men stairs the ship of our nation, making disastrous self serving policies in the interest of the masses. God will punish Tinubu and his family if he failed to do the needful.

Thank you! I want to see more Tinubu supporters coming out to speak the truth.

since the subsidy remover affect food stuff in may 29. tell me why our current naira situation reflect in our food stuff

I don't understand what you're saying.

Please explain yourself.

StreetFight:


Who do we blame for the last US election which made supporters of Donald Trump to invade the US National Assembly and destroy things there?

Am I to blame for that also?

My sister, elections are not free and fair in any part of the world

I don't really care about the US but there is no way you can compare the corruption there to the one we see in Nigeria. £1 is N1545 right now, how can you support this man?

Khyrvxjzy:


how is the dollar affecting you if you are not an importer which we dont want

Nigeria is an import-heavy country. From the food you eat to the cars you drive. A weaker Naira will lead to widespread inflation on most of your goods, which will lead to a reduction in quality of life.

Many people will starve to death because of this.

Do you think that it's only importers this will affect?

Nigeria finished. £1 = N1538.

Tinubu has done more than IPOB could have dreamed of. What a country!

Edit: It’s now N1545

Burob:
What an oblivious minded senseless statement, you will suffer in The Federal Republic of Nigeria for your gross ignorance. Tufiakpa.

Did you ask yourself if I even live in Nigeria before typing this?

Btw, the only ignorance being eschewed here is by you and your horrendous butchering of my beautiful Igbo language. Anu mpama!!!!

shuttox:

I no rejoice I am fed up bro

Sorry, my bad.

Judgementa1:


Why not use his billions to assist Igbo people selling gala on the street of lagos.

Tinubu is your president. Why hasn't he used both his power and money to uplift all Yoruba people? Why is the Naira 1538 to 1 pound?

FreeStuffsNG:
It was to build voter confidence. INEC is not responsible for the whole spectrum of the process. It doesn't make the hardware and the software nor the internet network. Some parts of Nigeria don't even have internet Network or very very poor network. I know someone who travelled to her village in the east and it's just one Network that works there yet still poor in service. For the three weeks she was there, we couldn't reach her and when she managed to reach us, before we spend 10 seconds, the call will drop.
This kind of things are real issues except if you live on the virtual world of the social media alone.

Did you know that £1 = N1538?

Burob:
They have returned back to the agitation of Biafra months ago.

Idiotic Gringory Obi wan be President?

Peter Obi is a multimillionaire (in pounds sterling). He will go home and enjoy his millions with his family.

As for you and your fellow Tinubu supporters... Well, the Naira is now 1538 to 1 pound. I have never seen it devalue so much in such a short time. It's collapsing and the Nigerian economy is collapsing yet you are here rejoicing.

Should the reality of this economy ever hit you, I will remind you of this comment.

netpro:
After today, Obidents will return fully to their suspended Biabia agitation.

And the Naira will continue to go down... What's your point?

shuttox:
E go sweet
I told people

£1 = 1538 as of today. Why are you rejoicing?

StreetFight:


My Nigga. Please relax. You and I want the same thing. We want a better Nigeria. I think Tinubu can do it, but you think Peter Obi can do it. We went into and election, and we won. Though the election isn't free and fair, but that is how election is all over the world. You will remember that Donald Trump's supporters invaded the US National Assembly and destroyed things there because of their last election. That is how election is everywhere. Politicians are ungodly people who wants power at all cost.

Now Tinubu is there. If he gets it right, we will all rejoice and enjoy, but if he get it wrong, we will all suffer.

I can't continue abusing you everyday you post with anger, I don tire. Even if you cannot pray for the country, just wish the country well, except you want make Ogun kee your Papa

There is nothing wrong with saying that you support Tinubu but also admitting that he did not win this election on "free and fair" grounds.

You cannot want Nigeria to succeed and support a man who employs thuggery and bribery when things don't go his way.

Don't blame the politicians, blame people like yourself who enable them.

Hoelujohn:

Atiku dey play. He doesn't know Tinubu is a master strategist that has covered all his criminal tracks. It's only my God that can capture him. More wins for Jagaban

When Tinubu took over from Buhari, £1 = N900. As of now, it's N1538. This man has caused the Naira to be devalued by nearly 100% and you're here gloating. Shame on you all.

RevDesm0ndJuju:


You are harbouring future extermination of Yorubas because they are retelling the story of the events of the senseless Ibo coup of 1966 which led to the avoidable civil war ?


You people will never change.

Is that what your got from that comment?

Guilty conscience is disturbing you...

The mods should send this to the front page.

hammerFC:



Just wait for the Supreme Court to decide any nonsense, like they did in Imo State.


We will have the entire Igbo elite and political class on board.


The Biafra movement would be stronger than ever.


I mean, they are again marginalised from the 3 major arms of Government, Executive, Yoruba, Judiciary Yoruba, Legislative SS.


We did not even get deputy. Yoruba, also collecting Deputy in Reps and Fulani in Senate.


All the federal parastatal headed by Yoruba and Fulani.

Every day is for the thief, one day is for the owner.

Ebubu:


No business-minded ship will leave Lagos or Onne port which are deeper and easier to berth at, to navigate inland waterways to Imo state to berth.

I don’t know what Ngozi123 is talking about.

Unless Nigeria is landlocked and that Imo riverport at Oguta is the ONLY wateraccess.

Did you read the article? Clearly, there are importers eager to use the seaport. That's why there's interest for it in the first place.

This thread is for the development of Igboland. If you have nothing constructive to say then please leave.

successmatters:


I don't think it's the duty of the governors, what are our senators, HOR members and ministers supposed to do? Governors are local champions.

You're right. We need to petition all South-East politicians in every branch of government.

hammerFC:

Hahahaha...

Ngozi123 is back, welcome back sis...
missed u loads.

Thank you .

Honestly, Nigeria is becoming even more apparent with its hatred of the Igbos.

The only good thing about it is that's it's pushed many 'One Nigeria' Igbos towards secession.

successmatters:


They are very powerless, forcing the supreme court governor on us was just to steal the local resources like land, the governor has no powers over rails, airspace, waterways, oil and gas resources and security.

They really are not powerless. If we use our local resources as leverage and actually put to good use our revenues then we will be fine.

The major problems facing the South-East are insecurity and the lack of a seaport. Both of these problems stem from the FG and need to be dealt with but first we must get rid of any corrupt/incompetent governors.

Alex Otti ofAbia State has promise. The Supreme Court Governor is terrible and needs to be pushed out immediately. The rest need to improve drastically.

DatNiggaDaz:
You see one has already jumped in crying

Don't mind them.

successmatters:


Soludo is doing exactly what Rochas did for 8 years and failed, what Amaechi did against Jonathan and failed, what Uzodima is doing, hurting his people to please the people in the centre, in all the cases above, they ended up empty handed.

Let's wait and see. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

successmatters:


So, the federal inland waterways authority is now under the control of governors? Governors now remind thr federal government and lobby them to remind them to do their works.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Don't mind him. He didn't realise that I was acknowledging the federal government's role in the abandonment of the seaport (it's even suggested in the article).

I was only saying that we should be petitioning our governors so that they will be forced to petition the FG.

Just look at how they are already trying to cause division amongst us. Very devilish tactic.

Lanretoye:
leave the mumu man to be acusing federal government when the governors forum is not coming all out about it.each of the governors would rather prefer the port to be in his state rather than fight for what will benefit the whole region.let them continue to decry federal government till their children's children will be born.

This thread has nothing to do with you. Please keep your poison away.

Thank you kindly

successmatters:


Our governors are powerless, Soludo is being manipulated to fight Peter Obi, he has been promised the presidency in next dispensation just like they used Rochas, Amaechi and Wike head to play drums.

They are not powerless. If they were then there would have been no need for APC to force The Supreme Court Governor on Imo State. We need to make it a mandatory pledge for anyone who wants to contest for the governorship of any of the five South-East states.

And I think Soludo is trying to be smart as he has realised that the only way to get anything from these people is to seem anti-Igbo. Don't be surprised if, behind closed doors, him and Peter Obi are best of friends.

DatNiggaDaz:
The emilokans have 1000 reasons why the seaport should not be revived.

Wait a little bit & see townhall comments

They should stay out of this thread. It does not concern them.

successmatters:


The plan will be torn to shreds by nationally placed vultures.

All we can do is to keep working at it. It will come with time.

successmatters:
The mindset of the criminals in charge of the country is like this; if the development that will change Nigeria for the better, solve economic hardships, provide employments and prosper the whole country means that Igboland will benefit from it, then let the whole country suffer poverty for the next millennium

Cutting their nose to spite their face...

I still think this is achievable if we petition our governors. Make them accountable and they will be forced to work for us.

We need to start looking for ways to either revamp this seaport or build a new one in Imo state likethe article suggests. This should be the number one target of the South-East Governors' forum.

From Obinna Odogwu, Awka

Importers Association of Nigerian (IMAN), yesterday, revealed how a $600 million deal between former Imo state governor, Chief Achike Udenwa, and the Chinese government for a Blue Sea Port project in Oguta Lake was lost.

National President of the association, Mr Kingsley Chikezie, told reporters in Awka that the project, which would have added value to Nigeria’s economy, was frustrated by forces with ethnic colours.

It was equally gathered that to further frustrate the Eastern ports, the importation of pharmaceutical goods was ordered to be done through the Lagos seaports, specifically the one in Apapa.

Chikezie said that had the seaport project been realised, it would have by now helped in the revival of the abandoned Oseakwa Seaport in Ihiala, Anambra State which functionality, he believes, would add value to the economies of the South East and South-South regions.

IMAN, however, called on the governors and the stakeholders in the South East to come together and decide how to revive the Oseakwa Seaport. It also asked it to work more closely with the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) to revive the seaport.

Chikezie said: “These are the things and obstacles that we the importers are facing due to the abandonment of the Oseakwa Seaport by successive governments in the country and you know that we in the South East and South-South are the importers.

“We call on the governors of the South East to establish a South East Economic Corporation to kick start the process irrespective of political interests just as the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has concluded arrangements for the rail lines that would link up the oil producing states in the area.”

The IMAN National President lamented what became of the Imo/China deal which he said would have provided job opportunities for the youths and encouraged commerce and industry in the South East and South-South had it succeeded.

“I want you to imagine what this place would have been like if that 600 million dollars deal had worked out. And that would have also affected the Oseakwa Seaport project to come on stream by now.

“Today, the NDDC is putting up rail lines linking those areas and the governors of the South East should set up that commission which would have its members drawn from the five states and funded with the equity contributions of the five state governments.

He commended NIWA headed by Chief George Moghalu, for its achievements in reviving some dead and moribund river and sea ports across the country but urged it to partner with the South East Governors Forum (SEGF) to jumpstart the revival of the Oseakwa Seaport.

“There is no doubt that the management of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has been doing their best in the area of recovering our dead or moribund river and sea ports but a lot needs to be done.

“Let our governors in the South East have that synergy with NIWA to look at the Oseakwa Seaport and fashion out ways of making the abandoned Oseakwa Seaport come alive again because our people are going through hell and losing billions of Naira because of the absence of the Oseakwa seaport”, he said.
