MadamExcellency:
I passed through that road to and from Uyo, and the journey was hellish, nothing to be proud of there.

When was that ?

reiddecuti:
Lamba government. Always doing ojoro and dribbling their gullible followers.


You believe this wash from CBN, you will believe anything...

But you believe Wike is having stroke
You believe Buhari was clone,and you think you have sense right? Ok

Tinubu is a real gentleman for even considering them.

For Tinubu appointing themself they make me vex.awon omo werey

PlasmaTV:
While the Lagos/Calabar coastal road would be an interesting sight, I have many problems with it:

1) The government should first tidy up federal roads and make them drivable and safe. I've been to many parts of this country, and our federal roads are a deathtrap. Roads should be easily drivable, without senseless potholes.

2) Will this road be completed on time? I have a strong feeling that this road will eventually be a white elephant project that won't be completed in the next 10 years. Investing billions on a long stretch of road while the existing ones are an eyesore is ridiculous to me.

3) Why wasn't this project bid for? Why was it awarded without other construction companies submitting their bid? Sounds very tyrannical and impulsive. For a project this large, and this expensive, there should have been a fair bidding process.

4) Why are we spending so so so much on a road, when we have other more pressing issues? An estimated cost of more than 3tr is to be spent on this road. Why? Why not spend same money on kickstarting 24/7 electricity? Why not invest it in interstate security, so that kidnapping would be a thing of the past? Why not spread the money across other more important projects?

So many questions, so little answers. I have many reservations.

PS: Please respect your family name and don't drag tribalism or stupidity into this. If you wanna argue, engage the use of your brain. Selah

Pls mention 3 roads that needs urgent attention?

Racoon:
Must your citizens loose their lives in the first place? The number one function of government is to safe guard lives and property.

Even in developed country security is not 100% , remember,is clearing the insecurity right from Jonathan regim and you expect 90% within 2 years.in the north west security is now. 60%

Justnation:
This is a horrible lie, infact insecurities is worse now than ever before

You lied.in the north west security has greatly improved.
In plataue ,if not if recent when last did you hear of insecurity

malali:
Ali Ndume is practically carrying the entire Nigerian Senate on his back — alone.

The rest? Useless benchwarmers.

2 years gone — not a single federal revenue-generating project in sight.

Tinubu is borrowing faster than any president in our history — with zero oil subsidy, zero forex subsidy, zero Covid crisis to blame.

So where’s all the money disappearing to?

Akpabio is busy deciding whether to stay outside Natasha’s pants or crawl inside — while the rest of the Senate follows him like blind men chasing a clown.

The 10th Senate isn’t a parliament — it’s a fully operational circus.

So you mean Federal givt can collect loan without NASS approval?

Quarterpast:
How can u say the money part is a cheap blackmail? That's even the major cause.

Uba Sani and Elrufai na money abi?
Father Aliyah and Akume na money abi?
Him and Amaechi na money abi?
Why will always think is all about money when godfather and Godson are having issues?

Godfullsam:
Na money o

Na disagreement on sharing formula.

Uba Sani and Elrufai na money abi?
Father Aliyah and Akume na money abi?
Him and Amaechi na money abi?
Why will always think is all about money when godfather and Godson are having issues?

Quarterpast:
Really?

While I agree with wike that it was actually too early for the now Axed Fubara to show his true colors, it is also wrong for wike to treat him in that manner. For God's sakes, how many of Wike's predecessors subjected him to such? Wike picked all of FUBARA's commissioners, handpicked all FUBARA's appointees such as to be in control of FUBARA's govt. Then he wanted to be getting his percentage from Rivers monthly subvention. Wike isn't fair to FUBARA, but if I was fubara, I wouldn't have acted so fast. Politics is about tactics

You arr faling cheap for this Fubara blackmail,pls can you bring evidence that Wike.is demanding money from Fubara. I agree with him appoint 70 to 80% of the appointing but you see that money ,na cheap Blackmail

Okbaba:
Nigeria earns (sell oil) in Dollars and pay salaries and allocations in Naira.
Example:
When exchange rate was N150/$ and brent @ $75/barrel
1,000,000 barrels x $75 = $75,000,000=>75,000,000x150=N11.25 billion
Same no. of barrel (1000000) at the same price $75 but devalued exchange rate of 1500/$
1,000,000 barrels x $75 = $75,000,000=>75,000.000x1500=N112.5 billion
in the example above; at the exchange rate of 150/$ govt earns 11.25billion and pay 30000 as salary but at the exchange rate of 1500 govt earns 112.5billion (10 times more) while paying salary of 70000 (2 times more).
How does it affect you:
When exchange rate was 150/$ you will buy (import) a $100 phone at 15k but with devalued rate of 1500, the same $100 phone is now being bought (imported) at 150k (10 time more costly)
That is how govt is making you poorer. So when next you sing "on your mandate..." let your conscience judge you.
However, the situation would have been better if govt had put the excess fun to judicious use by investing in production, etc; order than this reckless looting we are witnessing.

Maybe they did not tell you that Nigeria have increased oil output under this govt ,so how revenue be the same thing ? Maybe they did not tell you that Nigeria have trade surplus from other non oil sector. revenue greatly increased from these not all this devaluation of naira

mrvitalis:
Because of the buying power of lagos not the infrastructure

Akwa Ibom has one of the best infrastructure but depend on ABA for basic supply

After Lagos the next most populated state is Kano, yet Kano never received the type of investment like Abuja ,oyo,ogun.if we should go by what you say ( population)

obyno82:
Yes I said what I said. The debt to revenue is still high. Our earnings are being used for debt servicing. What he did was simply use devaluation and inflation to reduce spending by the public. So it gives a semblance of reduced rate of debt servicing, rather it is the masses that are suffering. This is just manipulation of numbers he is doing.

Wait, did our revenue increase? Did we owe in dollar or naira ,so how does devaluation affect debt,is not clear

mrvitalis:
Lmao the 1 billion dollars rail line Lagos Ibadan project name one company it brought

Lolz. Will investors mention they are investing because of one particular infastructure.if Infastructure has not been helpful for investments why did NSIA Invested 10billons in Lagos and not Anambra? Why did IFC invest in Lagos and not kwara? Nobody want to invest where there is no good roads

obyno82:
It is still below par we are still spending a large chunk of our earning on debt service. Reason is because we spent so much money on frivolous projects that add no value and supporting a bloated government.

Tinubu met it at 96% ,now is now 56% ,yet you are saying he is spending on frivoluuse things

mrvitalis:
If I build all the roads in your village how would it increases revenue for your villagw

Yes, infrastructure can significantly increase the revenue of a state. Well-planned and well-maintained infrastructure can:

1. *Attract businesses and investments*: Modern infrastructure, such as roads, airports, and seaports, can make a state more attractive to businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors, leading to increased economic activity and revenue.
2. *Boost tourism*: Infrastructure like hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities can attract tourists, generating revenue from hospitality, transportation, and other services.
3. *Increase property values*: Quality infrastructure can increase property values, leading to higher tax revenues for the state.
4. *Improve agricultural productivity*: Irrigation systems, storage facilities, and transportation networks can enhance agricultural productivity, leading to increased revenue from agricultural exports.
5. *Enhance industrial productivity*: Infrastructure like industrial parks, logistics hubs, and energy systems can increase industrial productivity, leading to higher revenue from manufacturing and exports.
6. *Reduce transportation costs*: Efficient transportation infrastructure can reduce costs for businesses, making them more competitive and increasing revenue.
7. *Create jobs*: Infrastructure development can create jobs, both during construction and in the long term, increasing tax revenues and reducing unemployment.

Examples of infrastructure that can increase state revenue include:

- Transportation infrastructure (roads, highways, airports, seaports)
- Energy infrastructure (power plants, transmission lines)
- Water infrastructure (dams, irrigation systems)
- Telecommunication infrastructure (fiber optic cables, cell towers)
- Industrial infrastructure (industrial parks, logistics hubs)
- Tourism infrastructure (hotels, resorts, recreational facilities)

Overall, investing in infrastructure can have a multiplier effect on a state's economy, leading to increased revenue, economic growth, and improved quality of life.

One thing I have always said is if I ever decide to be governor or president Economics would be made compulsory in all schools from SS1 to university 200 level...

Volume of debt or size of debt is not an issue
Ability to repay is the issue

Someone can owe 2 million and be worse than someone who owe 10 billion

In nigeria the issue we talk about is our revenue to debt servicing is too high..

We need to increase revenue, sadly the only way to do that is to borrow more but use it for what would generate revenue or ability to pay back the loan

So borrowing and using it to build road, bridge, rails, and the reat feel good projects is foolishness... Very big foolishness

And that's what APC have been doing since

Pls what is the ratio of revenue to debt servicing now?

So Infastructure can not increase revenue?

onatisi:
The common man on the street is not concerned about all these figures; all they want good, affordable life to live; they want to eat, have shelter, and live comfortably. What is the use of all these figures if the citizens still go to sleep at night hungry and frustrated

All these is pointing to better days is very close

Dvdpity:
Tinubu has destroyed this country.

What does that information mean

villionz:
I think he was talking about himself alone and as speaker.
Regardless of how the bloggers gave out the information.
But I think you should know that still, this money remains a piece of change for federal government to bribe out what will earn them more.

Na still small change

Pls let be factual with our thinking.watch the video, he said ,he was giving 5billion to impeach the governor as majority leader ,so each and every one of them will be giving 5billion because majority leader as no power except is the speaker

MrDoGood:
And you see a fool above this comment praising him for this rubbish.


Suffering and smiling indeed

Pls what is the major sources of income of Dubai? Tourism.

But federal want to do the tourism here you are shouting.
Did you know number of job this will create? I am sure it will be more than 500,000 jobs
Just imagine the place that thing in your village ,the internal generated revenue of that your small village will increase because people all over the world will come and do vacation there ,it will improved Infastructure in you local area. So to you all these I mentioned don't have value.

I remember ,you mention insecurity,pls in this insecurity Lagos still move from 231billon internal generated revenue to 823billion.
Should we now say because of insecurity we should not invest again?

Adayi1:
This is a well known fact... People in KC can testify...

Pls where are you in kogi central?

Dyke15:
Its only a man without a soul still supports Tinubu

Pls give me 2 reasons why I won't support Tinubu

villionz:
I don't know how true all these be o, but man, 5 billion is nothing to these people my brother

They are 31 so #5billon times 31 calculate and see if is possible

richiemcgold:
I don't want to dispute the claim that he was offered money. But that amount of 5 billion naira must be a big lie.

.. 5 billion kee you there.

They have 31 members ,so 5billion times 31.Even Tinubu can not give such amount of money

magoo10:
The man who claimed to have built Lagos cannot build Nigeria but destroy it.

Eeyah! We don't know Ba 2years he build Lagos

Gbadugbakun:
This one de find appointment. Hunger don hammer her Destiny.

Anybody that is supporting this givt is looking for appointment?

fuckJones:
instead of healing the deaf, the church employed a sign language interpreter to tell the deaf that God can make them hear

It shows they are not the one doing it ,is God

floss:
Hmmm… I can bet with Tinubu balls that if Atiku was the president, Tinubu would have supported Sim Fubara

Now Tinubu can comfortably get 15million votes from Rivers State in 2027… I can assure you that Sim is not coming back as governor…

I just noticed that federal power is the ultimate, Fubara is gone, it’s a pity that Wike was used as a pawn in this game but he doesn’t know… he will know by 2031


And also my happiness is that after Tinubu finishes with Rivers State in 2027, I will see if Wike will want to contest in 2031, before then Tinubu will definitely pick a more loyal person and anoint to be president and vice president…

Wike current loyalty is just wash… Wike is just a means to an end just like Amaechi …. Use you to fight your people is the game…

Pls in last election how many votes did Tinubu get in rivers State? Infact what is the total votes of Rivers?

Massiveglory:
Tinubu to Gej: declaration of state of emergency is a dangerous trend.

Rivers state has not even reached a tenth of events in yobe, adamawa state.
Tinubu as president: Declares state of emergency Because of his selfish greedy evil nature of total self interest.

Lagos: allow obasa
Rivers: rule of law.


Raye was right. Tinubu is a terrible, greedy, selfish , self interest bad being.

When Tinubu intervain in Rivers did you agree? Was it not rule of laws you are mentioning?now the rule of laws have taken it's cause you are still shouting
