I saw a post yesterday about a Camerounian saying how lucky we are in Nigeria to be able to choose once in 4yrs who should lead us.

The other day I saw the news of Equatorial Guinea's president elected again on a fresh 9yr tenure after ruling for more than 40yrs, his son is also the Vice President.

If educated people like Izzou refuse to vote, he shouldn't complain when the almajiri's decides who leads the country. Evil always thrives when good people remain docile or believe nothing can be done about it.

DeadPresidents:
Terrible idea.

Nigeria faces no immediate threat of external aggression unlike South Korea that has a history of aggression against it by regional players like North Korea and Japan.

We don’t need to draft everybody in because that does not help us in any way apart from wasting already scarce resources.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]For you to train anybody, you need funds

Funds to procure equipments
Funds to establish facilties
Funds to hire the appropriate personnel
Funds, Funds, Funds....

Where will Nigeria get it?

That is why i said both BAT, Obi and Atiku have no HOW to solve anything. They are just telling you what you want to hear.

The CBN just said the excess crude oil savings that was 3 billion in 2014, is ABSOLUTE ZERO today. But no, our saviour is coming in 2023.

I was happy when they asked Kwankwaso how he would employ 1 million personnel into the military. He said he will make WAEC free.

SK have the funds to train anybody. Nigeria does not.[/color]

Can you help with Receipt?

By the way, do you wanna know why I am shinning Teeth always? Coz I am doing well offline.

Ain't taking online banter serious as many of you are doing.

OasisX:
You're 100% right with the highlighted part. I've said it here many times, we are simply gambling and hoping we pick the right choice.

Let's put aside the Candidates and dissect our major Problems in Nigeria, cause, effect and solution. Who knows maybe they do view this thread for Information.

We can help by contributing positively on this Board too.

OasisX:
.... of course, everyone here knows the truth but we will rather let sentiment and emotion becloud our sense of reasoning.

Nigeria is definitely broke, but how do you think this problem can be solved?

By removing subsidy?

By increasing tax?

By selling Government Assets?

Consumption to Production ish na Zobo.... ain't gonna buy it.

obainojazz:
I don’t think Oasix did service, he would have known na corpers be teachers in Nigeria

Ellexy:
You specifically highlighted the part of Izz.ou's post that said said Tinubu, Obi and Atiku are the same and don't know HOW to solve Nigeria's problems. You agreed with him 100%

This was you also agreeing when he questioned how Tinubu will successfully recruit 50 thousand youths into the army and pay them. You acknowledged all to be lamba.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I am just asking him, since he is assured that Obi will cut excesses from NASS.

Maybe he can tell me how a president has any power to effect that change.

And the revenue problem is why i don't rate Buhari one bit[/color]

afrodoc2:
62.5% is too high. I don’t know why Izzou is just attacking him like he stole something.

The only way to save Nigeria is to break it up, not shouting emilokan or Egyptian statistics upandan.

A001:
This is the solution but it's easier said than done, and I don't see that happening anytime soon with the current crop of evil, visionless politicians.

Donjazet2:
I said he would cut the cost of governance and bring better transparency to our institutions, going by his own antecedents in office.

Nass is just an aspect, there are other areas where he would do that that would be very impactful. Slash the salaries and amoluments of government appointees. Ministers, head of parastatals etc who inflate bonuses and contracts. Stories like amaechi awarding contract to an unknown company or aliases, bloated ministerial budgets, bloated villa budgets etc.

These are areas where impacts of cost of governance will be felt.
As for nass budget, Obi has said that there is something called political will, that if he leads by example, others will be bound to follow.
If the populace sees that the presidency is pulling all stops to actively reduce the cost of governance, that create optical pressure on the national assembly members. Secondly, the labour party is going to have some elected members of assembly, senators and house of rep that will form a caucus or coalition that leads the charge in the house for a slashing of bloated budgets and salaries. This coupled with public pressure and executive pressure is bound to have an effect on nass' budget.

Also the strengthening of the efcc that enables it actually do itd job and go after corrupt public officials.

One of obi's selling point is his relative integrity. Tinubu and atiku simply can't use anticorruption as a selling point. You see that none of his supporters is even bordering about this. That tells you all you need to know.

OasisX:




Context bruh. Context matters a lot in communication. Do you even understand points being made by izzou at all?

Let me help you with a snapshot, perhaps it'll help you to understand the context better.

nihilistjnr:
In July this year, Minister of Finance announced that FG withdrew 1 billion dollars from that Excess Crude Oil Account to fund the fight against insecurity. To withdraw this money NASS and Governors had to agree ( cross-carpet decision)

In August, Emiefele cried that NNPC was not remitting dollars into FG foreign reserves. NNPC said they need the dollars to continue to fund subsidy.

What does President want to do in this kind of situation except for the suicidal needful - ending fuel subsidy?

That's why you will never get any real answer from any candidate in terms of specific actions they intend to carry out to fix Nigeria because there are none.

In another 4 years time, you will see people begging for another saviour like they did in 2011 when Otuoke man without shoes was the saviour and 2015 when Sai Baba with only 20 cows was the saviour.

The only way to save Nigeria is to break it up, not shouting emilokan or Egyptian statistics upandan.

obainojazz:
Probably misunderstood Oasix

NYSC is when you know our secondary schools are just barely functioning

Ellexy:
From your own screenshot, you agreed with him 100% that all the candidates are giving us lamba and have no solutions to Nigeria's problem, TINUBU inclusive.

Please pray tell, which other context are you talking about?

raumdeuter:
Congratulations baba.

You no announce this earlier

When you dey plan do giveaway for us

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Yes, the government should recruit teachers...Qualified teachers..

But since they cannot recruit, an issue that predates even before 1999, what do you expect them to do?

Post corpers to teach?
Or let the classrooms be empty since they cannot recruit that much?[/color]

A001:
That appears to be an inertial, non-accelerating frame of reference.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So, which candidate has come to tell us that he will cut the funds for the National Assembly?

I hope you are aware that the Presidency is not in charge of the budget of the NASS. He cannot add or change what they earn. They have a committee that does that. So how will, let's say Obi make that change? How exactly?[/color]

OasisX:


Lord..... why are you comprehending the message like a kindergarten Pupil? Let me help you out a bit; according to izzou, they're discussing problems, promising to solve it without telling us how.

He used BAT as an instance where he promises to recruit 50,000 personnel to the Military. That's a good promise, but how does he plan to renumerate them? He didn't talk about it.

Did izzou lie? No! That's why I agree with him.

This has nothing to do with so so so candidates will fail or not. We were discussing objectively.

Ellexy:
Lol

Ebukacute:
Nop I'm a man of God(otem) sir

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I need have enough data on the state of our finances for me to make any personal submission. I was hoping to hear it from the candidates, but only Obi tries to give numbers.

That's why I can never rate Buhari. The guy took the easy way out

Take loans and build infrastructures. Some of these projects cannot pay for themselves. Rather, they become liabilities that need more loans to service them. You just shared a document on using 100 billion loan to build roads at 15.6% interest. How will that loan ever be repaid in this life?

I have once asked if we generate anything in this country. Our debt was 70 billion at Dec 2021, and as at June 2022, it was 151 billion. ECA account is now Zero. What masterclass did Buhari actually apply for 8 years?

I expect the next president to take this route too. Use loans to build roads, and everything. Then campaign with it for 8 years.[/color]

larride:
Not all infrastructure will pay itself. That's a simplistic way of viewing things.

Apart from rails and tolled highways, which infrastructure directly pay for itself?

A001:
Keep fooling around then. Hope you soon find the cure for your tomfoolery, calling the author of a history book God, the same God you can't demonstrate the proof of its existence empirically.

OasisX:


.... when I replied obainojazz that I was voted Most Valuable Corp Member of my Set, I wasn't catching Cruise.

My Leadership track records won me the Award not Promises. So una should calm down and take life jeje!

No be everything be agenda, we sabi am pass each other.

Ebukacute:
If I ask 10 different people who's more foolish between you and I, they will point at you... Otem balls succker

Ellexy:
Bruh I never disputed your track record or anything. That's not even what we're talking about lol.

I simply pointed out how you're always quick to point out that all the candidates are the same because you know your candidate has no antecedent on character, integrity and accountability.
