Mr Obasanjo didn't perform any magic. He was lucky that he met more favourable conditions on ground.

1999 - Mr Obasanjo inherited:
Average daily oil production 2.15 million
Population - 125 million
No Boko haram, bandits, herdsmen palaver
Large debts that Nigeria had the money to pay.

2023 - Mr Tinubu inherited:
Average daily oil production 2023 - 950 thousand
Population - 220 million
Extensive banditry, herdsmen - farmers clashes
Large debts that Nigeria doesn't have the money to pay.

It is easy to paint Mr Obasanjo as a Saint. Where is the result of the $12 billion his regime claimed to have spent on power.

i thought tinubu is a "strategist with political sagacity" and the "greatest politician in the history of nigeria"?

why are you now making excuses for him?

lets say that in 1999, price of oil was an average of $20 per barrel multiply by 2.15m. that will give you $42.9m

in 2023, average price of oil was $70 per barrel multiply by 950,000. that will give you $70.3m.

so who was making more money?

if nigeria was 125m in 1999 and 200m in 2023, how is that a disadvantage to tinubu?

which money did nigeria have to pay its debt in 1999?

except you just crawled from under a rock, are you not aware that the Abacha administration endured economic sanctions all through?

where do you think the money OBJ inherited from Abdulsalam came from?

even if he inherited monies from him, would that have been enough to sustain his government for 4years?

the question now is how is tinubu managing the funds that are under his watch?

is he prudent and does he put the needs of nigerians first?

you claim that there is "Extensive banditry, herdsmen - farmers clashes"....

is it not this same tinubu that dismissed the idea that herdsmen were responsible for the death of a daughter of a yoruba elder?

was it not this same tinubu who asked GEJ to resgin because of the security situation in nigeria? (see attachment below for tinubus stance on GEJ).

so which other excuse do you want to bring up for tinubus failing in governance?

I thought you guys were praising him in his early says that he had "hit the ground running"?

is he no longer running but crawling?

[b]Nigeria’s long term economic outlook is very bright. [/b]International organizations are all very optimistic about Nigeria’s future because of all the economic reforms President Tinubu is working on.

You don’t have to like Tinubu to see some of these things. For the past 30 years or so, all presidents have had to worry about fuel subsidy, electricity subsidy, forex subsidy, state governments hijack of local government funds etc. In less than two years, he tackled all these issues instead of sidestepping them like all others have done. Going forward, no president after him will have to worry about any of these issues.

Things may be difficult but some of these things Judy have to be done in the overall long term interest of the country.

How can anyone in the right frame of mind posit our economic outlook is bright with

1. downsized productivity amidst
companies/manufacturers folding up

2. eroded purchasing power

3. promulgated ridiculous high interest rate

4. Investors are not coming

5. No incoming infrastructural project to
augment GDP


In the face of all these realities, where is the economic boom coming from, RITUAL!!

how do you people live with yourselves, fooling yourselves

MightySparrow:
Daddy Freeze has won my admiration by this interview.
If Tinubu is not allowed more time to reposition the Nigerian economy properly, that means Nigeria is doomed.

26 years of his master plan for Lagos has failed to reposition the former FCT properly despite 70 times increase of the state budget due to squeezing out IGR from the public. Rather, Lagos is a scamdemic slum without water supply to buildings. Ordinary water supply o.

Ebilokan is the most useless politician in Nigeria. The most useless!

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Buhari removed fuel subsidy in the 2023 budget presented in 2022, after removing it earlier in 2016.

Terrible T-Pain continued paying subsidy after the announcement of May 2023.

How many months of allocation has been received by your own local government since the autonomy that you claim?

You were quoting past threads to relate it what is happening presently.
In the past,have your ever witness market forces determining the price of fuel with refineries working in Nigeria. Presently,Subsidy is gone.
In the past,there was no way Subsidy would have been removed without refineries working.
The difference between now and then is that refineries are working now, and Subsidy is gone. It is new beginning for Nigeria.

If the refineries are working, then why has ebilokan failed to deliver on the promise to crash petrol price more than two years ago?

Any clue

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

'-Extensive banditry, herdsmen - farmer clashes
-Large debts that Nigeria didn't have the money to pay back. Nigeria was on the verge of bankruptcy.

No President in the history of Nigeria has faced the severity of the economic conditions that Mr Tinubu inherited. As such no Nigerian President has been as tested as him. Hands down, the most reformist President Nigeria has ever had.

It is easy to paint Mr Obasanjo as a Saint. Where is the result of the $12 billion his regime claimed to have spent on power.

Did you just said lucky? I respected you than this. I think you are among the few I can say I truly respect their opinion on this forum, but saying OBJ was lucky, I’m totally disappointed.

The clear difference between OBJ and Tinubu is the quality of their cabinet. We all know the caliber of talents regardless of their ethnicity under OBJ. Can you say of same under Tinubu. This was a man that made crucial decisions and policies before appointing any team to analyze policy before he announced them.

This is a man that made huge mistakes and looking for who to take the blame. Why did he secretly reverse some of the policies he announced before he appointed his team? Or do you want to tell me that they were still paying subsidies until Dangote refinery was launched. Or do you want to tell me you didn’t know they are still secretly supporting naira?

Abeg I!!!!!

ClearFlair:
Lol


Be deceiving yourselves. Your stomach will tell the true story 😂😂😂

By God's grace I'm doing well. The fact still remains that Tinubu is doing well. Buhari did so much damaged to our economy

Heavensake1:
Anybody that comes in after Tinubu will only needs to work on implementation of good policies. Tinubu had done the most difficult part. Believe it or not.

Na beans to remove subsidy. Even Buhari no try am.
Na beans to unfied forex. No former president try am.

Local govt autonomy na yam.

Tax reforms na yam.
We are feeling the effects of those policies. We all should know that they were just to change direction of where the country was heading to before he came in but in the long,with implementation of good policies there would be smile on every Nigerian. This is not politics matter.

Old news, thanks for waking up. What emergency lovers of Nigeria don't understand or see flying all over social media like witches and wizards is what we saw sitting down. Understand this, most people who support Tinubu today did not like him before, until we came close, observed and realized that he's the best among the rest.
Sorry to say, if Tinubu does not get it right, i have zero percent hope left for anyone to get it right for Nigeria except God. He ticks every indices.

jazzman7711:
Tinubu’s policies are pushing Nigeria in the right direction, even though they are initially harsh, due to subsidy removal. The effects will ease in due course, and are even easing, as prices of fuel and food see a steady decline.

There is an INFRASTRUCTURAL REVOLUTION going on in the country. The states’ monthly allocation has increased fivefold since subsidy removal.

EVERY STATE IS NOW A CONSTRUCTION SITE.

In fact they’re in competition.

The other day I saw Benin I couldn’t believe it.

Enugu state? The governor there is just a genius, building some great schools with first world architecture and design.

Kaduna? My goodness. See beauty of a city. Tree-lined streets. Fantastic roads.

You guys need to travel around this country. It’s developing faster than you think.

I love 💕 your Summary of the Happenings in Nigeria!
Indeed - Nigeria-is Moving forward ⏩,except the haters,the bitter-ones,who have jaundice - yellow 🟡!
•To President Tinubu:
- the 3- Things Tinubu- MUST DO is :
•1.Bring in Importations of Foodstuffs - by crashing the Prises- while Increasing Local Production - by Aiming At Exports - for More FOREX.
•2- GIVE ORDERS TO CBN - FOR NIGERIANS- TO BORROW - ESPECIALLY - THE INDIVIDUALS,THE SMALL SCALE AND MEDIUM SCALE INDUSTRIES - BY REDUCING INTEREST RATES TO BETWEEN 3- 5% .
-THE CBN GOVERNOR - IS JUST NOT DOING ANYTHING FANTASTIC - IN THIS REGARDS.
-THIS SAME OLD -SYSTEM OF KEEPING INTEREST RATES - HIGH - FOR FOREIGNERS/ INVESTORS - WHILE LOCAL MASSES SUFFERED - SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH.
Most NIGERIANS Should be able to borrow in their Banks- Easily- with Low Interest Rates - but this is Not the Case!
•3.FIND SOLUTIONS TO POWER- SECTOR - ENERGY - TODAY- NIGERIANS - are having more Darkness .
•Did You See The Fantastic Works Going On In Lagos - Calabar- Coastal Highways ( For 9- States)- Day and Nigh🌉
Hon Umahi Kudos 👍.
