All dollars account must be close. This is Nigeria and Naira is what we spend. No Naira account is allow in USA.

adecz:
Will the US agree to extradite to Nigeria, American citizens who commit similar
crimes against Nigerians❓❓❓

The answer is NO❗️❗️

Make our legal and diplomatic system nor
come dey do pass ourselves. These boys
have been extradited because they are
Southerners. See the drug Baron Kyari wey
America don dey ask for, but Northerners
no 'gree release am because he is a
Northern Muslim. For say na Tiv, Berom or
gwari person dem for don hand am over
tey, tey.

Mind you, I'm not in support of what the
guys did, but we can try and jail dem for
here which is worse than America. The food
wey American prisoners dey chop na him
we dey spend good money buy for Chicken
Republic or Tantalizers for 9ja❗️❗️😁😁😁

Check all your post, trying hard to sound smart.
COMMON SENSE, secondary school students… it is called “diffusion”.
There is something called order. If you think the first thing to do is to focus on tax when the country is on fire…have fun bro!

IconicR:
He's shady too and has no moral right to condemn them. They are all sinners sinning differently

toprealman:
Stay on the issue at hand. Google Myrtle Beach South Carolina. They have used blue economy to generate huge fortune. Do you know how many people are benefiting from the set up.
Under that situation you can now talk about tax and people will GLADLY pay because they know you know what”s up.
Google the natural resources found in Switzerland, compare that with the natural resources found only in NORTHERN NIGERIA. Check their GDP and compare it with Nigeria’s GDP.
No be only secondary school students, a baby still in the womb knows that diversifying the economy has nothing to do with your long essay. Your first paragraph gave you away!
10Q.

toprealman:
You reduce dependence on oil by diversifying the economy…stop sound smarter than you know you have always been!

Let's be mindful of our social media posts.

Is it right for Maryam Shetty to be seeking political appointment from people she does like?
She should have rejected the offer, if truly she was sincere with her post on social media

SmartPolician:
True, you have a point. But then, you have to consider that the cost of production is cheaper outside Nigeria. This is from former NNPC GMD Ibe Kachikwu because Nigeria lacks enabling infrastructure.... unless the government has fixed those things now.

Way to go

Modified

I am just wondering if it is possible for Joe Ajaero, who openly aligned with Peter Obi, to be politically neutral and act in the national interest. This protest and nationwide strike he has called for looks like a political stunt, especially considering that the current government has agreed to increase the minimum wage and that all major presidential candidates, except Kwankwaso, agreed that they would remove fuel subsidies. Including Peter Obi, who said they would go IMMEDIATELY.

This strike is unnecessary and very ill-timed, more so when Nigeria is facing a crisis in Niger Republic that could spill over into Nigeria and destabilise our economy and political institutions.

I may not support President Tinubu, but the palliatives and measures he announced two days ago were far-reaching and should have caused Labour and Ajaero to pause. But it didn't. What is their agenda? This is about Nigeria, and it is time for us to be patriotic and do what is in the country's best interest, no matter who is President. I am not sure that Ajaero would take this action if his friend, Peter Obi, were President.

What exactly does Joe Ajaero want? Even his own home state of Imo has introduced palliatives.

Should Nigeria continue to spend more on fuel subsidies than she spends on education, health, and housing? How is that economically viable?

And can Mr Ajaero explain why the pump fuel price in neighbouring Benin Republic went up as soon as Nigeria ended fuel subsidies?

Nobody should take us backwards to a Buhari era where we were borrowing to pay for fuel subsidies and tripled our foreign debt with nothing to show for it. Fuel subsidies must go, whether this present NLC likes it or not.

Good morning, I am just seeing this , and all you have said is very good, so nice but in a perfect world , I am afraid thus would only be achieved in an autocratic rule not a democratic rule. I am pleased you mentioned Buhari's body language but what happened in the end, opposition politicians and their tribal affiliates coupled with lack of sincerity and the desperate need to win a second term truncated all those war against looters and it became watered down. Any democratic presudent that would attempt this will always fail I believe, but in an autocratic setting this would be very perfect.

Bovis:
Most Nigerians don’t really know Tinubu but rely on the fake news and propaganda ditched out by his political enemies. I had the privilege of meeting him twice through his late son Jide and the man is a workaholic and more of a socialist than a capitalist. I believe PBAT would restructure/reposition Nigeria for greatness but his successor would take the glory, same as what happened in Lagos state

grandstar:
I am not a fan of government soft loans to business. They are usually squandered.

It would have been better if the CBN fought inflation. Tinubu and the CBN do not want the economy to enter a recession and have therefore been dovish about inflation.

Low inflation would be the best present to the suffering masses. Next should be to bring commercial lending rates from banks down to single digits. Rates of 9% and less should be the standard. This will help certain perk up the economy

Kayyy:
Bro, not knocking your ideas, you still didn't get my point, firstly mention any successive govt that has actually blocked any loophole or conduit for corruption completely in this country since inception, you know why ? It's not about you , it's about the workers, even the lowest of the officers have their form of corruption not to talk of the managerial positions. I know how much my friends at Tin Can Apapa were taking home daily about 10years ago and how they spend on me when I go greeting them and none were at managerial level. So it's not about the person at the top , the policies he would put in place would still be managed in the ground, would you as president know how the bush routes would be created to move products ?. Besides there would always be review in the quantity of refined imported products cos people would buy cars and other equipments that use petrol as the years goes on, so wouldn't you be reviewing to capture them ? .

Lastly and most importantly, have you quantified the amount you want to spend on all these programs in a short term and loan it would involved and refinancing and servicing of those loans vis a vis the current debt profile ? You want spend trillions on subsidy and refineries, spending hundreds of billions to manage naira/dollar exchange , increase minimum wage , spend on education etc all these within just 6 months , where will these money come from ? And how do we pay it back hot minding we're still paying the one owed by your predecessor Buhari?, Mind you , you will still be presenting your own appropriation bill for the year 2024 in 6 months with all these your spending ?

Mccullum:
Most of you doesn't, you only rush to criticize, but do it constructively,

don't you read where he mentioned this - 25% reduction in Yellow buses fees which will be announced officially by their body.

babamadiba:
Do you think the governor is a fool and won't have an agreement (settlements) with the drivers? Common let's be civil here.

babamadiba:
baba read before u comment. He said 25% reduction on yellow buses

Kayyy:
So after the previous government budgeted around 3.5 trillion in subsidy just for Jan-June and were shooting our debts up to 77trillion naira,You will in your first month budget another round of trillions on subsidy, while servicing more debts, where will you get the money you claim you want to spend on your other programmes when you have used your initiative to reduce your earnings by using it to service further debts ? Also I guess you will still use your earnings and further loans to continue to defend the naira/dollar exchange rate ? And before You know it in 3-4 months if you in office our debts have moved from 77 trillion to over 85 trillion without any functional project on ground. And these are the people insulting Buhari , Jonathan, Tinubu etc ? When online you go find out say majority of these critics will crumble this country faster than the people they love to insult.

Curse777:
Let me measure your Administrative ability as a human

Let's say you become The President today

1: No Subsidy in 2022/2023 budget

There are some of the many options I would take:
a. Secure a supplementary budget to retain subsidy until year end 2023 even if it means getting a loan.
b. Deep dive into the inefficiencies of the current fuel subsidy system to block all leakages as a point of national emergency. Pardon my french but you get the idea.
c. Immediately institute an external audit of NNPC and ruthlessly address all issues thrown up from the audit. Do the same for NPA and customs and eliminate the ridiculous tariffs that have crippled our revenue generation by giving rise to importers seeking alternatives like shipping through Benin or worse still smuggling.
d.ensure at least 1 refinery comes up before the end of the year and at least 3 comes up before the end of 2024.
e. Implement at least 5 CNG conversion centers

2: inflation is going up.

[b]a. provide tax incentives and loans for massive food importation to ensure massive Increased food supply at lower prices. This will help stabilise food prices.
b. Implement a task force to focus on the food supply chain bottlenecks such as infrastructure deficit in the rural areas, storage deficits, multiple taxation of food transporters which all contribute to inflated food prices. Combine that with agric loans to farmers and inputs like access to tractors and fertilizers for farm cooperatives and ensure judicious use of these supplies to avoid corruption and failure of these policies.
c. Massive food cultivation and incentives to go into all kinds of farming across the country.
d. Significant support for small and medium sized businesses and entrepreneurs by providing soft loans on merit to deserving candidates nationwide to help their businesses grow and stimulate the economy.
e. Conduct a massive overhaul of governance spending and implement austerity measures to cut government spending by at least 40% with those savings directly invested in funding CNG conversion subsidies across the 36 states.

There are so many things that can and should be done. I've not spoken on education, health or security. Let's just start with these for the economy

3: your next budget is after fully setting up all commitee of National Assembly


What will you do?!

Give an insight

FreeStuffsNG:
Please read the financial statements of publicly-quoted cement companies. These documents are in public domain. If you can't read it then it's not necessary to have this debate. Btw, I never endorsed govt going into business as both competitor and regulator. I will love to read the financial reports of Akwa Ibom airline and Lake rice first before I share my thoughts on both specifically.

Ola9ja23:
None of you call for estimated cost or the date for completion

Nobody mention a white elephant project here bcs it's in SE and everyone is happy about the news even though it's just an ordinary statement of intention 😄


We are still happy that your governor is having a good dream 😄😂😀

FreeStuffsNG:
Any state Government building cement factory in this age just dey play

smh. You just don't get it.

It's ignorant of you (just like most of you with persecution complex who think being an Igbo gives you immunity and license to misbehave and anyone who calls your attention to your missteps hates you Igbo) to claim there's no cement factory in SE. Anyway,here's Nkalagu https://nigercem.com/ sir and Ebonyi is in SE. Most of you are just plain ignorant and it's sad.

Even if my Governor starts building cement factory today, I will say he is joking and unserious. It is only from the mentality of persecution complex that will make anyone
suggest it is hatred for his Igbo tribe. Smh

Go and read the financial statements of the publicly-quoted big players in that sector first. Check my signature for free stuffs!
