Tinubu's Lagos doesn't owe a dime to any worker

That was how the owner of one game shop was arguing that Anambra's GDP was higher than Lagos State's GDP when Peter Obi was Governor. I don't usually talk about politics or religion when I'm not in my safe zone but that day, I tried to tell him that it was impossible in every way for another State's GDP to be bigger than Lagos. This guy still didn't hear o. He said I should Google it. I told him that even if that news is in Google then it most be a fake news.
.
He was asking me if I have PVC so he can add me to one WhatsApp group. I told him I have but he shouldn't worry. It's obvious that's where he gets his lies from..

Many of Peter Obi supporters are new to politics so it's easy to deceive them on things that never happened.

BigDawsNet:
What’s it called when you keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results?



Voting

We have been voting for the lesser ever since and everything keeps getting worse and worse. This time we should vote for the greater evil and see how things goes.
Atiku and Tinubu are the greater evil and I'll vote for either of them.

We can't keep doing the same thing over and over again and keep expecting different results

This people are threatening Nigerians to vote for them o

The Nigerian Government should frustrate this plan.

Although Amazon emergence will enable Jumia and Konga to step up their game if they want to keep up their game. That's if the competition doesn't kill them in the first one month.

Peter Obi and Tinubu FC can't criticize each other since both of them are guilty of fronting "place holders" coupled with the fact that both of them presented a Christian-Christian ticket and moslim-muslim ticket respectively

This was the mistake Buhari made, bringing out all his plans to rid the country of corrupt people. And them the power that be showed him shege.

Walter White and Jessy Pinkman should be held responsible

pharmagba:
Printing names without photo?
Are you this gullible?
How did they know whom they killed?
Did they have their finger print?
Did they have their retina scan?

Abeg! Is not the same Nigerian security we are talking about?

And if they used photographs of people would you be able to comform if they were really the ones. How would you know the people actually beared those names?

Reallysimple:
Old men that are never tired of power

You know Peter Obi is older than Akpabio, right?

If they search deeply they'll find Tinubu, Atiku and Peter Obi doing similar thing to even younger girls.

That's why I will be voting for Kwankwaso in 2023

Even a secular State like the United States of America okays the use of hijab in their public schools. So it shouldn't be a crime for a religious (unofficially) State like Nigeria to OK it.

Tinubu is drinking the blood of our youths to get longevity

Reality3080:
so your beloved Simon ekpa is now working for apc?

They abadoned Nnamdi Kanu in prison, abandoned Biafra or death and now they're betraying Simon Ekpa.

When the lose the election in 2023 and they begin to shout Biafra or death, nobody will pay them any attention

PresidObi:
A stingy president will fight tooth and nails to remove some of those excess money and pay it to the masses through good infrastructure and provision of jobs through industrialisation.

Vote for Peter Obi, the only presidential candidate that understands how to do what Nigeria needs now.

Such President will not last 1 year in office. Especially when he doesn't have a single law maker from his party.

4tomandchi:
These kind of analysis is what divives this country the more. Do you know how many churches El-Rufia has demolished in Kaduna?

A average human wouldn't mind much if his family member is doing him shege but when it's an outside, all hell is let loose.

Some mothers can beat their children like thief but wouldn't let any other woman lay even a finger at the child.

Remove the damn subsidy once and for all.. Even with subsidy, fuel price is going up. So let me kukuma remove everything and invest the money somewhere else

dejol88:
I don’t agree on some you have put out there. Our leaders are just lazy and lack creativity. When I go to Tesco in uk to purchase some fruits like bananas and cucumber, I dares say ours is better than what they sell here in the UK. Question is when signing trade deals, why can’t we push our products for export and try to increase output here in Nigeria. All they do is to travel without impact. We can do a lot in agriculture , we can rebuild our educational system such that we can be able to export talent to the world taking a leaf from India this will increase Nigeria remittances.

We don’t railway system all over the country at the moment in my opinion, rather build to targets areas where we make product for export.

When we begin to make money , then we can start to expand our rail system. We don’t have plenty money for things we want .

True.

But we do need railway. Railways and trains would be needed when the Government decides to end fuel subsidy.
Use of trains cannot be over emphasised. Tell me any developed country that doesn't have a working railway.

And for agriculture, the Government first need to improve it's security. Any policy the Government takes on agriculture will be useless if the farmers are not secured in the farmland.

Buhari's government have invested the most in agriculture, but we can't see the output cos our farmers are getting killed by bandits....
For ever farmer that is killed, so is 100 of bags of rice or beans or maize or onions.

dejol88:
You can’t jump to the bank for borrowing if your earnings is poor. Currently we earn too little and only way out is to look for what to sell to the international community to earn foreign exchange.

For now oil is only what we can sell. And even if we wanted to invest in other resources, we'll need money to do that. We need our roads, railway, electricity to be available so even outsiders can come and invest.. And how do we do this when we don't have don't have the money

dejol88:
The very reason you don’t want to continue voting people who can’t grow wealth. You need to increase your income before thinking of building a house.

Either that or borrowing from a bank.

thebosstrevor1:
All the chinese loans buhari built are all into infrastructures, it is obvious that Nigeria does not have enough revenue to run its economy because there is no production.

That is what some people don't understand.. They think Nigeria has the money to build infrastructures and run the economy without borrowing. They don't know.

gidgiddy:
Well considering that your current President is borrowing like crazy and drowning the country in debt, a saver might not be a bad option

Amd he if keeps saving and oil is less than 40% per barrel, where will the money to turn the country to a production country come from?
Remember, no matter how much he tries to save, there will still be things that he must spend for.
He will have to pay subsidy (since you all want cheap fuel). He must pay salary. He will definitely have to allow the senators to pad the budget else they won't sign it. Same thing happened to Buhari. He must pay salary. He must spend money on securing the nation. He must do this and that. After doing all these what else is remaining to save?
Buhari thought Governing in a democracy was easy? He thought removal of fuel subsidy was a bad idea.. Now e eye done clear.

Any politician that promises to end subsidy is who I will follow no matter who it is. Whether it is Atiku or Tinubu
It is when you enter sit that you'll know that Nigeria is broke.. Forget all this money you're hearing politicians are looting. When you'll get there you'll see that even if they don't loot one kobo, the difference will still not be that much...

Buhari could swear to Allah that Nigeria was the richest country when he wasn't in office. But when he got there shey he was the one that said Nigeria is broke?
When Fashola was not there he boasted that 6 months was enough to end light problem in Nigeria. But see where we are now.

No matter who the next President is in Nigeria, if oil price doesn't get to at least $120 per barrel, he will seem clueless for about 2-3 years before any of his policies start to work. And 2 years is enough for us impatient Nigerians to write any President off as clueless and useless..

So the only candidate I'll support is the one that not only tells us what he'll do but how he'll accomplish it. It's not about telling us you'll give us constant power, but how will he get the money to do it.
And and candidate that say it with his full chest that he won't borrow is a no no for me.. Cos he has already lied.

QueenOfTheCoast:
the same bastard aketi is trying to force his fellow failure on us.

na God go judge these bastards

His fellow failure never owed salary. Not even once..

Cos a failure is supporting you doesn't make you a failure.

End subsidy

Black man's heart is as evil as his skin.
If I was white, I see no reason why I shouldn't be racist to black people.

Karlovych:
#OBIdience is the motto!

The cocaine baron would have fled to France like he did after maiming civilians at the toll gate.

This flood was caused by the blockage of the river Peter Obi dumped his Akwusu victims after killing them.

MrPolitics:
Do u even realise how dumb you sound? Car is not an asset so u shouldn’t get it if u can afford it? So it’s better to be getting on bikes and cabs?

It’s obvious u don’t own a car so u don’t understand it’s usefulness.

Someone can’t help his own son to be able to afford a car and u want him to come and get you out of poverty.

It's not his fault. Poverty have made many Nigerians think that car is a luxury. They don't know it's a necessity

subsidywise18:
Well, the only way to imrpove standards of living is by making it better to do business here, meaning more investment and jobs...and that can be done if things like subsides are removed, and if government income is increased by improving our poor tax to gdp ratio, and if we really fight corruption well well...so that we have more money for education, transport, security...police and army, and welfare projects.

True.
That is why I will only support candidate that supports fuel subsidy removal no matter who he is.

It's not about saying I will end ASUU strike, I will build refineries, I will give Nigerians Stable power. How would you get the money to do that?
Even if corruption is reduced to the barest minimum, there still won't be enough money for all these promises.

subsidywise18:
Exactly. China is not going to give us free power sector. It would have to be paid for.

Yes. That is why the government should improve the standard of living of the people so that foreign companies will come and invest there.
It is stupid to invest in a country where people are too poor to patronise you.

subsidywise18:
So, why are YOU assuming China would give us a good power system for free?

They have to be paid, and they have to recoup their investment. Nothing goes for nothing.

We don't have a working power sector because power tarrifs are controlled by government. And kept low so that 'poor benefit'. As a result...no profit, and there is a lot of loss in the sector.

Whereas, I can type this from anywhere because GSM companies and ISP's do not have their prices controlled by government (excpet Ntel, the GSM subsidary of Nitel which collapsed as a result...too many loses. Now rebranding as a private ISP ).....and made enough profit to build all the stuff they need to give us phone and internet service...and here we are.

Allow the DISCOS and GENCOS make a profit while giving us power...and we need not call China, or any global power.

The problem is will they invest when they know people won't be able to patronise them?

And don't say they'll only generat power that people would be willing to buy. They will run at a loss if they do that. Cos even if people buy or not, they'll still have expenses and bills to pay. So they'll need a lot of customers to make profit

Buhari is the best person to remove it since he's already in the bad book of everyone. Let the next President benefit from it.

Funny enough, the people that are complaining the most are the ones that will never vote for him no matter what. Even if his running mate was Paul formerly called Saul.
