Chioma cancelling Eric Umuofia company....it's a family affair

Eric Umuofia actually cancelled his own company.

These are just names of some abokis who run money transfer businesses. When the government is serious, they'd tell us who the real financiers are.

Na dem!!!

When I opened this thread I expected someone to post this pic

Paraman:
The one trillion is for the first phase, it will start from Lagos and end at the boundary between ogun and ondo state.

You can't expect Tinubu to rehabilitate all the bad roads in less than a year. The roads he has started rehabilitating are all under construction. If you know of any that Umahi started but has stop work, list them out here.

Even in the FCT, road construction is going on.

Their tenure has barely even started so there's nothing to talk about. Let's have this conversation in late 2026. Would love to hear your excuses then....

Paraman:
1 trillion was release for this project to kick off few days ago.

When last did you even pass through the east west road you're complaining about gan sef? The east west road is more than 85% completed.

"More than 85% completed," same story since the last 10-15 years no be so?

N1 trillion released or N1 trillion approved? You know there's a clear difference right?

Let's assume N1trillion was actually even released (though we all know its impossible), given the cost of such projects in Nigeria, that amount would barely scratch the surface; it cant even complete the section from Lagos to Ondo.

What about using a portion of that trillion to complete the east-west road?... PH-Aba which shouldn't take more than 20mins literally takes over 2 hours cos of few bad portions which have been under construction by every single admin. A microscopic fraction of that N1 trillion can fix these and lots lots more. But anyway, who doesn't know that the coastal road project is just another white elephant avenue to loot money?

Paraman:
nah funding cause am

Funding, 25 years?... We cant fund the dualisation and resurfacing of an already existing road even after 25 years of trying, yet we want to go ahead and build a new 700km road from scratch on swampy terrain?

Shantyken:
From oron which is the starting point to eleme in port Harcourt is 90% completed

Well, it's taken well over 20 years and the road still isnt 100%... If even simple things are impossible in Nigeria, you cant blame Nigerians for being pessimistic about complex things.

Rehabilitation of east-west road hasnt been completed after 25 years yet...

What kind of devilish hatred do these people have against Igbos?

Mass illiteracy mixed with hatred and religious bigotry, and yet we wonder why Nigeria Nigeria has never moved forward since 1960?....

How can Nigeria ever make progress when these are the set of people that largely determine who rules the country. God forbid! 🤮

They've successfully chased Binance away from the Nigerian market but 2 weeks after, the dollar is back to N1600/N1700.

If Binance P2P was truly responsible for crashing our local currency, I guess every country should have chased Binance away.

JASONjnr:
There's absolutely nothing Obi would've done differently that Nigeria would've been better than it is today.

Moreover, Obi doesn't have what it takes to withstand the northern influence.


The South East should lower their voice and build a strong leader or king that will be highly respected.... Someone with greater influence that would influence their political and national decisions.


Not every one speaki6from different point of views and expect the country to take them serious.

You mean the south east should build a strong thief and bandit that can match the criminality of people like Tinubu?.... Obviously thats the quality a person needs before they can be accepted as a leader in a God forsaken country like ours.

Funny how so many people here think the Naira has truly appreciated because of the Binance ban. With the ban, some currency traders who want quick liquidity are simply trying to sell off their stock, hence the reduced price. As much as the slide in value of the Naira is artificial, this apparent recovery following the Binance ban is also artificial.

nairalanda1:
I believe we should have voted out apc last year.

But Obi would have done something similar. The fact is, excessive borrowing since 2014, thanks to the oil price crash, higher spending on subsidy, and lack of a diversified economy, plus an effective foreign reserve of 4billion dollars means there is nothing much Obi can do, short of taking massive loans to fund things, and IMF Is not going to lend us more money, neither are the chinese or the russians.

We are not the masters of our destiny, and we are just this near to IMF taking over.

I'm sorry but OBI is clearly different and would have done a lot of things differently. Let's stop excusing Tinubu's failures by erroneously claiming others would have been equally irresponsible and clueless.

For starters, OBI communicates! A good line of communication on your strategies would make a world of difference in the way the people and businesses react to your policies. Before elections, Tinubu wouldn't dare talk to anyone, grant interviews or even attend debates. He never outlined any strategy on how he intended to approach the myriad of problems, and nothing has changed after swearing in. Instead while the country is on fire he disappears to France for God knows what, and yet you think OBI would have been the same? When the pillar of a person's campaign is "it is my turn" and "na statistics we go chop?", it already speaks volumes on the person's cluelessness on how to solve the issues which everyone already knew about.


OBI on the other hand clearly communicated and communicated and communicated! Yes OBI also promised to remove subsidies, but he clearly outlined that the removal would be in phases to cushion the impact on the economy (with regards inflation). OBI also outlined that any funds saved from subsidy removal would be channeled directly (no diversions whatsoever) into fixing the refineries to ensure Nigeria stopped importing petrol as quickly as possible; a clear policy outline like this makes a world of difference!! Do you know how many times Tinubu has removed and secretly reinstated subsidies? Policy jumps and cuts like that are very disastrous for business planning; reason why companies keep fleeing Nigeria.

And then you said IMF and China wouldn't give us loans! Why would they give loans when they know the people at the helm are irresponsible spenders? When Tinubu first stepped into government, wasn't he granted a loan. What did he use the loan for?

- To buy 460 SUVs for NASS members
- To finance presidential yacht.
- To pay N25000 to 15 million households (all of which never materialised but loan money disappeared)

And you wonder why China wouldn't give us more loans? Is it today OBI started evangelizing on the imperativeness of using loans only for clearly productive ventures? Yet you think OBI wouldn't have done anything differently?

I lost hope in Nigeria right after the results of the 2023 elections were revealed. If with all the glaring signs, a lot of Nigerians still felt it was okay to vote APC and Tinubu, then to a large extent, Nigerians are the problem, not Tinubu and his gang of bandits.

My heartfelt sympathy to those who genuinely fought for and voted OBI but who still have to suffer for the foolishness of others. God will see you guys through!

Vischy:
Na statistics we go chop😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's how the worst presidential candidate rigged an election.

The very first presidential candidate in the history of Nigeria who successfully dodged TV interviews and fled from a presidential debate. Even the NEPA bill certificate Buhari didnt completely avoid interviews and debates...

Given his fear of debates, for the first time in Nigerian history, a presidential election was conducted without a single presidential debate for the candidates.

Obviously his fear was justified; what was he going to say? The few appearances he made earlier were littered with incoherent gibberish - balablu, bulu bulu, bulabai!!! agbado, agbado, agbado!!! electricity and down payment for roasted corn etc. A person who believes the solution to Nigeria's security challenges was to recruit 50 million youths into the army and feed them with cassava and agbado. That's the person Nigerian intellectuals touted as 'most intelligent' and best person to lead Nigeria.

Respite for Agbadorians!

Now they have something to cite when they defend Nigeria's pathetic slide to doom.

Kelvin5214:
“Recruit 5million Nigerian youths into the army.. what they willl eat, cassava, agbado, enimorin, yam in the morning, beans in the afternoon.”
Sooo Where the recruitment dey? Where the agbado dey?, enimorin nko or yam in the afternoon
Thy people will suffer no be small

50 million youths...

Over N900 billion a month?...

Thats over N10 trillion annually

The economy has really spiralled out of control. May Zimbabwe or Venezuela not happen to us....

Ykc2:
is he tired now tinubu is president?even pastors from sw that tribalism is in them

You want a 90 something year old man who has been protesting all his life to still go and protest for you in 2024 while you sit comfortably in your house drinking milk?.... Make it make sense!

Isn't this the reason Buhari used the term "Lazy Nigerian Youths"?

Bobloco:
Is Nigeria not worth saving anymore?


The Save Nigeria Group (SNG), with the opposition parties spearheaded by Tinubu himself, frustrated Goodluck Jonathan by sponsoring protests against the Goodluck Jonathan government. The hallmark of it all was the 2012 subsidy removal protests.

Are they the only humans in Nigeria? Is everyone else in Nigeria crippled or in chains?

Soyinka has been leading protests since his prime in the 1960's. Man is in his 90s today, yet lazy Nigerian youths still want the same man to lead protests for them?

Balkan:
What a disgrace! They ignored shetima and were shouting Obi

May nothing ever happen to Tinubu. Cos with this level of disrespect, if this Shettima guy ever becomes president, Nigerians go see shege!

SoNature:
God called him when He wanted his spirit; his death has nothing to do with the game. RIP to the deceased and may God give the bereaved family the fortitude to bear their irreparable loss, amen.

You can't be so sure of the bolded. The way my heart kept pounding throughout that game, especially during the shootouts, a person with an underlying heart condition could get in trouble.

KingDash09:
That’s my education is very important
They teach you how to use pleasantries in certain scenarios

It's just a cultural mannerism which is unique to us as a people; there's really nothing wrong with it, and every culture has its own mannerisms.

The employer who sacked her for that was just being myopic and grumpy. Diversity entails learning and accepting the culture of others.

Nigeria often use the word 'sorry' in place of 'excuse me' to call a person's attention.

And then it isn't unusual to see Nigerians go all the way by saying 'sorry excuse me'

CorrectionFLuid:
Oga stop trying to scapegoat the northerners. Majority of those that supported every action and policy of buharis administration especially online come from the south west.

Don't come now to exempt your people from blame in order to make up excuses for your Tinubu.

Who is the 'my people' you refer to? And who is the 'my Tinubu'?.... Like I said in my previous post, ethnicity and tribalism ruins the brain power of even the finest of men... Last last na this useless ethnic and tribalistic mentality go completely destroy Nigeria

Antivirus92:
so today it's now north insulting and attacking anyone who dare to complain openly,?
It's no longer igbos insulting northerners for eight years?

Being an APC supporter plus Yoruba is a very bad combination!

APC supporter? Yoruba? Did you even read or comprehend a single word I wrote before returning with this response?

Education still remains the greatest sword that can liberate Africa from poverty. Kindly go back and re-read what I wrote, and this time do it slowly with a clear mind.

It's actually a mystery how people have been surviving in Nigeria. But then, does the north really have any right to protest?

The majority of the damage done to the economy happened under Buhari, but somehow, northerners always found a way to insult and attack anyone who dared to openly complain then. Why are they only waking up today?

For as long as ethnicism and tribalism exists, Nigeria will never find salvation. These protests will only be taken seriously when the south West joins in it. But can that ever happen?

Let it affect the common man positively

A private company builds/acquires a massive gas export vessel = wealth in the pockets of the owners and their cronies, revenue for government, less gas flaring (environmental benefit) and jobs for Nigerians. How else do you expect it to affect the common man?

Perhaps the company should do N10k giveaways weekly so we can all agree that it affects the common man.

freeborn02:
October 7th wasn't a genocide to him, but Israel's reaction to October 7th is what he sees as a genocide.

Another emotionally manipulated black fool like the stupid south African government that support Palestine.

Abeg make una dey try dey read abeg. 'Kate' no be man name. Or perhaps Kate has chosen to identify as a man? Cos I'm not sure why several angry people on the first page are using the 'He' pronoun.

Meanwhile on the matter at hand, October 7 is condemnable. Likewise what's happening currently in Gaza is also condemnable.

Amazing how bloggers just smoke shiit and begin to ooze out nonsense info from their asses!

Slytiger:
Nigerians don't bother much about lesbians. Infact most male love lesbo porn, but when it comes to men sucking men, men wanking men and men knacking men, that's were Nigerians draw the line.

In addition, Obidients trended the Tinubu's news last year during the election, but the news had no significant effect because the person in question is a woman. Women licking women is kinky. But men fucking men is not.

Omo... too much licking and sucking inside one post 😵‍💫
