Bots are still out in force. Tinubu is a one term president unless he suddenly does an Ibrahim Traore

Slytiger:
Same US government that's building the largest embassy in the world in Eko Atlantic created by Tinubu..

Imagine celebrating US presence in Nigeria. Every developing country that the US has pervasive influence in has floundered economically..

Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traore has rebuffed the US and is now the fastest growing economy in Africa.

Open your eyes..

professorPABX:
You don't know the differences between the company that built Oshodi terminal and HITECH / ITB / C & C Consortium? The company that built Oshodi terminal will not even say what you have said. Ambode that gave the job to the contractor will not even say this. It is like AMBODE calling PLANET Projects to reclaim BAR BEACH land from Atlantic Ocean? Is that possible? Never.

PLANET Projects was given terminal to build in Abuja last year. FG or Wike will not call ITB to come and build that terminal.

The most suitable company for Tincan and Apapa Port projects is HITECH / ITB Consortium. They can be held accountable for their delivery and by their deliverables.

Mind you, HITECH / ITB Nigeria is not a foreign company. I am eagerly awaiting the project results. It shall manifest against all odds by Grace of God

Oga Microsoft the behemoth that it is today start off as two small boys trying to sell software to for a computer called the Altair..

Apple started with Steve Jobs and Wozniak tinkering in a Garage..

People only grow if you give them opportunity. They could have mandated at 50% of the project be handled by indigenous contractors like UAE or China does.

No you are happy to see the project go wholesale to a foreign group that doesn't even respect us btw, who will ship all the profits abroad to Beirut.

Mtcheww when the day of reckoning comes people like you will rue the day you defended corrupt old men like Tinubu

mobisonkk2:
Not surprised, clowns from your region are allergic to good tidings. A republic of biadrug, where every rodents sit at home on Mondays following the orders of a fat frog living in Finland.

Cronyism, especially with foreign groups who will just take the money out the country is nothing to celebrate..

He could have chosen native contractors like the company that successfully delivered the Oshodi terminal. Nope Corrupt Tinubu awarded it to the Chagoury, so he could get a kickback.. smh

Antichristian2:
Lebanese-Nigerian!

Why all the accusations?

Can a Nigerian become Lebanese? Lebanese don't even intermarry in Nigeria.. stop this..

These Lebanese are foreigners and will forever remain so. But for corrupt & useless old men like the Tinubu, they wouldn't be collecting money like there is no tomorrow..

Can't wait till the young take over, these elements will be shown the departure gate at the nearest airport..

chigator2:
Yet they are not complaining of your tax reform abi. Reform am, infact remove us from the sharing formula, nothing go shake.

Go and find out the only region in Nigeria that built an airport through asusu ( private citizens money contribution ). No be by who tax citizens pass

AHH AHH who are you lying to? They will shake, tremble and roll if cut off...

Audio 4000 megawatts

Nah Audio 10000 megawatts, actually make it 50000 megawatts bros.

It will never happen, mtchew

MadPolitician:
I can see some Chinese there. Thwy walk around like they mistakenly walked into a mining site, but in actual fact, these guys are the frontmen of a well organised and well run mafia groups. If you try this in China, na death penalty. Many Nigerians have died in Chinese prisons just because of residence permit issues. Just overstay your visa and you are caught, you will pay a fine roughly a thousand dollars. Thats after serving a mandatory term. Then you must pay for the ticket ro deport you. From the prison to the airport. They are that ruthlessly efficient.

But here, because of how this country is misgoverned and mismanaged, these same people, will come down here, get the support of customs officials and other security agents who provide security to them as they roam around the bushes, mining solid minerals. Most of them don't even bother to go and extend their visas. That's how confident they are. You can't even open a retail outlet as a Nigerian in china today. But here, they drag space with our poor retailers while the government looks the other way.

Not one lie was told

sweerychick:
... Not that im defending these Chinese people, but I've been to China and I know their tradition, Chinese people are extremely discreet, they don't like sharing anything with you. That's why they live in clusters, Chinatown. You hardly see Chinese people intermingle with commoners. And they do it to everyone including Europeans not just blacks alone. I think it's an Asian thing.
I believe why the restricted Nigerians there is fear of their safety, because from the report it started January this year and it was this January that dollars started skyrocketing and food stuffs increased astronomically. So they feared that Nigerians might want to loot their shops or do something sinister to them..

Listen to this slave mentality.. I don't care if it an X thing. When in Rome...

Yes Ooo... The Buhari Era don finish...

SoNature:
That's wrong. If you must move those departments, take them to the ND states.

Instead of making efforts to create opportunities in other states across Nigeria so they can decongest an overpopulated Lagos, these greedy Lagos politicians want to grab everything.

That's why Buhari and Tinubu can never be the man that Jonathan and Obasanjo were. While the former were regional champions foisted on the country, the latter were detribalised presidents.

Go cry..

ivolt:
I know for a fact that the bold is wrong given Niger's pre-coup economy growth but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
Provide a reliable source for your claim.


My explanation is very much relevant to puncture the illogical pro-coup propaganda.
This is not a matter of laggards or toppers.
It is simple maths.
South Korea has moved from bottom to top and not from bottom to bottom.
South Korea was actually doing something different post civil war.
Niger is doing absolutely nothing different than extraction and selling.


This is irrelevant, economics does not work based on hope, miracles or prayers.
The only thing close to a miracle is new discovery of a massive source of natural resources.
I don't recall any of these coup countries making such discoveries.
In national economics, if you produce, you wallow in poverty, it is that simple.


I can now see that you are discussing completely outside of your knowledge.
What vast economic gains? Increased employment? Increased productivity, net positive BOP, massive budget increase?
What exactly? Provide the before and after coup numbers and you will be sorely disappointed.

Oh you think growth rate is the magic word.
Well, go and check all the numbers that matters e.g GDP per capita if you know what they mean.
Nigeria is at least 3 times richer than any of your supposed perfect countries and has even improved over them post-coup.
Do you think economics is like protesting in the street riding on current political wave?



No, you are extremely ignorant on economic issues.
I am surprised an educated person could knowingly weave fiction into economics.
You just hear "growth rate" and you went gaga without understanding what it means.
None of the coup countries are any significantly better economically than they were before coup.

I have told you what it takes to actually improve the economy of a nation.
Being rhetorically "free" whatever that means is not part of it.
Increase production/services or discover natural resources. Outside of that, no magic involved.

ALL OF THE ABOVE AND YOU SAID NOTHING..

TINUBUS URCHINS WILL SAY THE SKY IS GREEN IF HE SAID SO..

Re South Korea thanks for parroting what I already said..

Re Niger, yes they are doing something different. They are now selling Uranium at market rates as opposed to the price the French set for them, a 200% difference in some cases. Hence the uptick in growth rates..

Also you don't need to do anything particularly different to increase growth rates in some cases. Look at Saudi it has been flogging oil for years and has become very rich as a result. Ditto Qatar which got rich selling LNG.. Botswana has a higher GDP per capita than Nigeria again selling primary goods..

Re GDP per capita, you have poor reading skills. I mentioned gdp per capita figures when comparing S Korea vs Nigeria/Ghana at independence lol..

Try again....

THERE ONCE WAS A COUNTRY

Paraman:
I don't understand you

Of you don't understand, that is why you defend the agbero Tinubu.. No smart man will defend his silly moves..

ivolt:
Your inference is wrong.
Fastest growing means nothing when you move from bottom to bottom.
If person A's salary is increased from 100 to 130, that's a 30% increase.
But if person B's salary is increased from 10 to 30, that's a 300% increase.
It doesn't mean person B is better off than person A.

Indeed they are starting from a low base, but the question is why did this change occur? The catalyst was extricating the last vestiges of French rule, something you clearly don't wish to acknowledge.

Also your pointless explanation makes little sense, because yesterday's laggards can become tomorrow's champions. E.G. South Korea had a much lower GDP per capita compared to Ghana and Nigeria at independence. Where is South Korea today, it is in effect a developed nation, Nigeria and Ghana? we both know where they are..

Likewise Today's champion can be tomorrow's loser.Like Argentina which had a larger economy than France at the beginning of the 20th century and now is the byword for economic failure/decline.

Tinubu could have ridden the crest of wave, joining arms with neighbouring countries that were freeing themselves and experiencing vast economic gains as a result.

Instead the Agbero did what an Agbero does and slavishly followed marching orders given to him by the west..

Now I have educated you go and rethink the nonsense you just posted..

Paraman:
please provide evidence for the bolded

I give you evidence of why Tinubu isn't that bright, instead of acknowledging it, you go quiet..

Chai my people smdh

Paraman:
please provide evidence for the bolded

https://www.semafor.com/article/01/10/2024/world-banks-says-africa-leads-fast-growth-economies-in-2024

Please see here, Niger will record the fastest growth in Africa this year 2024 at 12.8% (World Bank)

We all know what led to this change, as historically it has always been an economic laggard on the African continent.

Tinubu sadly chose to be on the wrong side of history..

Paraman:
What are you benefitting from Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali been part of ECOWAS? A lot of you things just love wailing over nothing.

All three nations are in the process of throwing off the last vestiges of French rule. Niger for example has rocketed to being one of the fasting growing economies in the world this year.

This change in economic activity spills over into neighbouring nations via trade. Economic blocs like Ecowas were founded to spread these benefits.

Instead due to Tinubu slavishly following the foreign policy agenda of the French, attempting to prop up their pro French puppets he alienated these newly freed nations.

It was a silly mistake and shows he isn't very clever politically. Also history will not look kindly on his actions..

slivertongue:
nepotism abi nationalism

When Buhari was favoring his boys, you weren't complaining abi?

It's our turn

Songhai empire reborn

Well Tinubu loves Lagos, so at least it will receive proper funding unlike under the Daura Vegetable

We all knew the BAT had already paid for this result..

Botragelad:
You are ignorant!
The situations in Israel and South Africa are not identical. Israel is a complex and diverse society, with multiple ethnic and religious groups living together. South Africa, under apartheid, was a very different society, with a strict system of racial segregation in place.

One key difference between Israel and South Africa is the concept of citizenship. All citizens of Israel, regardless of race or religion, have equal rights under the law. In South Africa, non-white citizens were not considered equal, and were denied basic rights and freedoms. Right or wrong?
Israel has an elected government, while South Africa was ruled by a white minority that denied the majority of its citizens the right to vote. These are just a few of the differences between the two societies, which make the comparison of apartheid and Israel inaccurate. Again, do you understand what apartheid mean!

Bros well said, but most Nigerians are sheep and just repeat nonsense they have seen elsewhere.

Why any thinking Nigerian would have a position on either party is beyond me. Neither group care very much about what happens in Africa let alone Nigeria.

Mtchewww...

Rossikk:
Don’t mind these Nigerian slaves.

Both Israelis and Arabs are RACIST against Africans, and most certainly do not consider Africans their ‘brethren’, to use slave pastor attaché Adeboye’s ludicrous term.

Adeboye should get his son to try marrying an Israeli ‘Jew’ and see how quickly they will show him they do NOT regard him as their ‘brethren’.

Stupid slave pastor.

Exactly bros...

I don't stand with either party and neither should any Nigerian.

Wetin concern me..? Do you see Israelis or Palestinians marching or even commenting when there are internal issues in Nigeria that have turned violent?

Mumus..

Dino is a thief. I have nothing more to say..

Buhari started it so make them no complain ooooo

Exactly..

I agree with you on Nigeria's failing, but it isn't that yts of anyone else is superior to blacks. It is that Nigeria till today has never had a leader with vision and a strong moral compass..

Tinubu is a thief we all know that.. Even Obi wasn't clean either, but the better of two evils..

Nigeria is a failure because meritocracy isn't the order of the day..

meum:
If you truly voted for him be proud of your choice the same way others are of their choices. Forget who the elites from your candidates tribe supported.

It’s like you never understand Nigeria. Elites gravitate towards where their interests will be protected. Dem no send. If the person they supported to eventually get there(elected or selected) refuses to patronize them they’ll start singing & play the victim card. That is 9ja😂 Some have started dropping singles 🎤 😂

That is also why Nigeria will never work for the common person and will probably remain a failing nation well into the future.

You laugh as Inflation rises ever higher, growth remains anemic, the value of the Naira collapses and an old man with no political policies whose only interest is to line his own pockets leads you...

Nigerian deference to wealth and power no matter what lurks in the heart of the man is something to behold.

A failed nation of a morally bankrupt people..

*shaking my head from my confortable home in the west*

Enjoy your pain

opamoses1:
You are absolutely correct.

Absolute nonsense...
