We Nigerians are quick to appreciate good projects but yet kills such initiative in our country!
1. Buhari in 1984 shut down the Metroline that the government of Lateef Jakande proposed for Lagos.
2. Some Nigerians are today criticizing the Coaster Road and the Lagos, Sokoto Road.
We need to support transformative project irrespective if whether we like the government in power or not. It's our resources, it out life time

If we go by ur response, then i think u r part of the problem.
Buhari in 1984 shutdown jakande's rail initiative that could have spiral into what china is building today, but in 2015 same u n ur likes thought it wise to vote in a serial economy killer and a grandiose failure to lead Nigeria to eldorado.

PulaPower:
You didn’t read thru..

The government is not spending a kobo on the project (except for the land that will be provided by the Lagos State Government). It will be funded by the private sector.

It’s a private investments. You can’t tell private investors on how and where to put their money at..

So if a private investor wants to build a solar panel n battery factory in tvc headquarters cos that's the only location that suits their factory, will the govt allow them and approve it since u can't regulate an investor on what he has to do with his funds...

She made this statement on two separate occasions.

Whats the essence of this thread?
Will it. Make the price of cooking gas to drop?
For the first time in history that price of cooking gas will skyrocket to unprecedented level during summer...
Just like we r not even making any gains from the war in iran through crude sales as being published by nnpc, we won't make any gains from high cost of LPG...

An accountant in power, but he isnt accountable to the people.

What a HOAX

Thieves, thieves n thieves...

We r not yet ready for a better Nigeria...

Lets pretend the crooks in power r reforming the economy.

Beautifulday:
All nah noise to smear people names and make themselves look good

There's no politician in Nigeria that isn't a thief..
No saint at all...
Even PO that is claiming saint is corrupt...

Stealing alone doesn't signifies corruption...
Nepotism, favouritism, all the isms negatively affecting the unification of the country and exalting some above others equates to corruption.

fredoooooo:
You're the one that refuse to use your thinking ifaculty and medulla oblongata ..Mr Reader bounce of my mention ..

Where is the diamond studded bra efcc claimed they took from her house?

Can't efcc join in the suit n table it before the uk court...

Beautifulday:
Politicians know Nigerians are largely inpatient and unlearned. So they throw figures around to score cheap goals

I still remember the mouth diarrhea evil short man devil who alledge they recovered 500billion dollars from pdp politicians in dubai..
Former speaker, dogara said pdp politicians were burying monies in farms...
Till tomorrow we no sabi the names of politicians they recovered 500billion dollars from in Dubai n those who buried money in farms...

ElSudani:
Basically, Tinubu has been president since OBJ left office. This type of laughable criticism is the reason many critics are not taken seriously.
Throwing different things and hoping one will stick.
Where was the economy and the debt profile when Tinubu took over?
The same Nigeria where you were using Naira to buy Naira?

Are u now dissociating Tinubu APC from Buhari APC?

What exactly are we benefitting from his Senate presidency sef?
Seaport .. null
Good interstate roads... Null

Federal presence... Null

Federal appointments... Null

Owontime:
I guess you're not from Akwa Ibom,for your information we are not Igbos,we are Ibibios and Annangs.
We don't play stupid politics, we play politics that benefits us. Akpabio is the next president in 2039.

By 2039 Akpabio will be 77yrs ..
The same issue Atiku is passing through now will be what he will face if he dare tries to contest as president at that old age
Currently his movement is somehow as if he has partial stroke...
In 12yr s time, i don't know how he will be health wise...

Okoyeeboz:
Don't worry about Wike, worry about your serial loser who came to the FCT, raised up the hands of a candidate and the candidate still lost.

The same loser raised up the hand of a candidate in his own home state and that one came 3rd. Even APC got more votes.

U should be worried about wike eho destroyed his party n now using night bus to apc so his slaves can atleast contest.

lightwind:
Honorable Chinda is our Man anytime anyday our next governor. Jordan Wike our next deputy governor inshallahu 🙏

You guys don't even know politics n how different senatorial structures are in states.
Chinda is from obio okpor, jordan wike is from obio okpor, how can the 2 be Governor n deputy?
I just need to point this out to u so u don't repeat this rubbish in another thread.

Okoyeeboz:
His LG candidates also won primaries back then. What happened to them in the end?

1. What can Fubara do for Tinubu that Wike can't do X3 of that?

2. If Fubara could betray the person who made him Governor, what is the probability that of Tinubu helps Fubara, he won't betray Tinubu?

By the way, Bashiru was sheepishly supporting Fubara cos of crumbs before Rivers boys reset his head for him. Go and watch his interview about the outcome of Fubara's screening.

What kind of betrayal will fubara do to Tinubu?
Will Tinubu contest as god of ur clan come 2031?
U should be thinking of how wike will deliver fct to Tinubu so he can atleast save his job.

Road to end banditry abi na road to go bring back 24/7 light...

Abi na toad to perdition...

franchasng:
ADC cannot win the legal war before it because it is being engineered and sponsored by the President. The Supreme Court had to give that cunning judgment yesterday because of foreign interest in the case. They only set ADC up for bigger legal battles that it cannot come out from till the timeline elapses.



It's sad but thats the reality before us and Obi have to move on because ADC is dead, Tinubu killed it with judiciary.

If that's the case, no wahala.
I pray they don't infiltrate NDC too...

Cos what Tinubu cannot do, does not exist

wolesmile:
Well, the truth is, the zoning of a thing is not in our constitution. It was only an unwritten agreement within each political party. Not between political parties.
Obi supporters should realize that Atiku bought the ADC, the iron condemn for his own political pursuit. I never expected Obi, if he did his calculations right, to go join that "collusion." The moment he did, I knew it was a political mistake on his part.
Best thing for him is to move now before it is too late.

Lets be very clear on this, is Atiku the enemy of Nigeria?
Is ADC the enemy of Nigeria?
Who is the enemy that we all want out so we can breathe well?
Tinubu.
How do you defeat a tough n cunny opponent?
Shey na to form alliance with other people who sees the enemy as their enemy too.

Will APC have succeeded in defeating Pdp in 2015 if they didn't put their house in order?
They all went in for primaries, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Buhari, nda Isaiah, etc...
Buhari emerged, they made sure they fix all those separate factions that contributed to their success..
Acn... VP
NPdp... SP
Cpc.. Pres
Apga n anpp had ministers n so on.

This is what tambuwal advocated in his 2019 speech during the party convention..
Can Obi do it alone?
Can he deliver it in 4yrs/1term?
Will he have the senate n house in his favour?

Breaking out to join NDC which was a 2nd choice for coalition incase The court judgment doesn't favour ADC is evil n cunny.
Stay, fight and work for the party...
Tomorrow others will also stay n fight for u...

okoloto:
Atiku/obi is possible. But obi/kwankwanso is a sure win. Masses trust obi more than all. Not even now that the north and whoever loves Nigeria have understood his intention to rebuild the nation and put us in the part of growth from where APC left us.

Will 4yrs 1term favor PO?
No be tomorrow he will feign ignorance by using people to buy his 2nd term ticket...

IamPatriotic:
All these disguising Obidients seem to believe that Atiku, a regular presidential candidate, would rebuild a political party and then hand it over to Obi, when he is not yet 68 or 70 that we will say he has time. Atiku doesn’t have the time anymore. That assumption ignores political reality.
Baba has spent years contesting and positioning himself for the presidency, and this is his last shot. It’s unrealistic to expect him to step aside for Obi. Politics is driven by ambition, not wishful thinking.
When Atiku moved to the ADC, even the least politically aware people knew he would be the party’s presidential candidate. I wonder why Obi and his supporters are acting as if Atiku promised Obi the ticket of the ADC for him to join the party.

PO knew this, infact when he moved to ADC, there's one publication that surfaced that time that he wants to go deputize AA..
He wanted it, cos that was the best bet for him.
Don't know who is cajoling him to think he can do it without AA.
I'm still waiting to see how PO/kW will fly...

The way kwankwaso go disappoint them, even ambode n GAC matter go be childs

Hemanwel:
Atiku don hijack the ADC again even when it's obvious that it's still the southerners turn to complete their eight-year rule.

Omor...these politicians greedy oh!

What's all these with turn by turn politics?

We r trying to reset, organize n lay a solid foundation for a functional country, una dey use rotation want thwart am...
If that coup had worked, will u guys say the leader of the junta must be from south?

Po/kwan being on a separate platform will not defeat Tinubu..
Infact it will make Tinubu win more easier.
Check out what is happening in Lagos, almost all contenders for governorship seat has stepped down for hamzat, cos they know he is the most preferred man.
Sentiments aside between PO n Atiku, who can garner more votes against Tinubu in the North?

Atiku will do just a term to balance the North- south years in power, PO will take over from there and do full 8yrs if he delivers in his first 4yrs..
This is how our coalition should be thinking not to be tricked to be on the ballot.
Tinubu doesnt have any issues in the south, his greater problem is in the North..
Atiku can get 6M votes in the north, PO brings 5M in the South, before noon we don finish APC.
But u guys r still bringing the 2023 scenario back again.
How did apc defeat Jonathan?
The formed coalition, went for primaries, we all knew Buhari was going to win it, outside that, buhari was more popular in the North.
Today Atiku is the most popular man in the North.. and he is detribalized..

Willy2025:
Like play like play, 2023 scenario is about to play out again. It's going to be a 3 way horse race and President Tinubu is certain to win even a day before the election
This time around, Kwankwaso is going to go his separate way. He has never in any forum agreed to be Vice to Obi. The issue of VP was imposed on him by Obidients. The opposition is highly unorganised and in disarray.

When u talk, obidients go say u no sabi politics.
Any 3 horse race will favor the incumbent..
If obi allows kwankwaso to trick him into ndc, then obi no be politician at all.
Obi should not be desperate to be the president, he should not allow his ego to destroy his career ..
Kwankwaso is a tricky fellow, he will sell him out cos he has nothing to lose.

givedemwotowoto:
Oga tell us the truth, Tinubu government's hardship and inflation made you sell your house.

You spent all your savings hoping Tinubu will do the miracle he promised, but he failed.

We get it:

It costs at least N60,000 weekly to fuel your car

Another 60,000 weekly to fuel your generator for electricity

Food costs 5x what it used to cost to feed your family

You're now looking for a way out, but you can't admit it publicly just like many of your colleagues on NL

Na this marriage i do i realized what people spend on fuel...
I budgeted 50k for fuel for and during the marriage both TM n white..
I come reduce am to 25k, the first day we enter market to buy drinks, i spent 28k on fuel .. TM day my bro supported with 8k fuel, we manage am till Sunday, fuel finish for road when my nephew went to buy stuffs for market, dont know how much fuel he bought to get the car running again.
On white wedding day which was monday, na 30k fuel i buy for both generator n car...
Average i spent on fuel within that period don enter 70k plus ...
Most times i dey pity transporters now cos u fit buy fuel 30k, u no drive am comot 30k...

HacheNoire:
Professor Wole Soyinka is highly learned and familiar with economics indices to assess and reach judgement.

You do not expect him to address issues when there is none. He is familiar with the great shift His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is working on and aware about the course where The President is navigating towards.

When you see critics silent, is not that they are scared, bribed or being cowards. It is because they CURRENTLY do not have critical issues to address.

It will be nuisance for The Great Wole Soyinka to start addressing matters like Peter, who has no in-depth knowledge about economics or a sense of feasibility to know where the country is drifting towards.

Any economics that doesn't make the people smile and alleviate the sufferings of the people, such economics is tinubunomics.

yarimo:
Some people will find a way to blame president TINUBU on this again

No we r not finding a way, we don see the way to blame Tinubu

Image123:
This is a good move actually.
The people wey this tax concern no go complain reach poor man wey no get even toy car oh. Imagine?
It's on IMPORT by the way. It's part of import duty. Clarifying this for those that think it's a yearly tax. Buy your size, guys. If you're not buying car or already have car, even 5,000cc, e no consign you. Stop hyperventilating, save your BP.

Master, lemme call u by what u r, cos i believe u still a toddler.
Those who import that heavy duty trucks, they factor in these duties and spread it around their services charge.
So this additional tax will be added to the already bogus service charges which inturn will increase the prices of goods n services across board.
Whether u have a truck or not, at the end spiral effect of this tax will affect you and those very poor u r mocking.

1vandragon:
Lol.

Bat wants Nigerians to pay for goods and services at the same rate as developed countries.

He wants to introduce tax polices similar to developed countries.

Fine. Approve wages that are commensurate to those same developed nations. No. That is when he starts speaking grammar.

Nigerians, 2027 general elections around the corner...

They know Nigerians r divided so who goes...

Alliswell248:
