Niok:
He will be booted out in 2027

tamonokare:
Where this one dey, he's certainly in Dubai. Tinubu is the father of modern Nigeria. The guy is revamping Nigeria.

Spandau:
You better go and rest. Nothing de happen to Tinubu.

zero8zero:
Says the most corrupt VP in the history of Nigeria 🤡. Tinubu is attracting federal projects to Adamawa, what you couldn't do in your home state for eight years as VP.

adioolayi:
But Governors are not borrowing to pay salaries na..
Reports are saying they are actually paying their debts.


Yes, loads of hardship to the common man is unprecedented..the policies are very harsh...but can we say something like the example above has not happened or is not happening...tha answer is NO.

Tinubu don do some positives...but many negatives... especially on hardship

shortgun:
The only way to end the suffering in Nigeria is to remove Tinubu from Office, he's not only incompetent but has also proven to be oppressive and Anti-people with every policy rolled out to further impoverish the Nigerian people and their businesses

Vision101:
What we want from Atiku, Obi and the coalition of confusion are:
1 What would you have done differently. Show us workings and not yeh yeh.
2 If we vote you in would you return fuel subsidy and Nigeria will be better?
3 if we vote you in would you return multiple exchange rates and bring down dollar rate to #300 and Nigeria will be better?
4 If we vote you in would you cancel the tax reforms and Nigeria will be better?
5 If we vote you in would you bring back the price of a bag of rice to #8,000?
6 If we vote you in would you cancel the students loans scheme and Nigerians will be happier?
7 If we vote you in would you improve the pace of infrastructure provision in two years better than what this regime is doing now?
8 If we vote you in would you give a higher GDP rate than what this regime is giving us?
9 If we vote you in would you in all honesty give us a better security than what we have now?
10 If we vote you in would you honestly promise that your regime will not borrow?
11 If we vote you in would you promise that there would be zero corruption?
12 Etc. Etc.

Sign a bond with us that you would be tied to stakes and we stone you to death if you fail to deliver all of these.

We don't want yeh yeh yeh and condemnation of every action of the regime just to grab power. You contributed to what we are facing now.

Not just incompetent, but the most wicked, draconian, and wasteful regime this country has ever seen

The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

Nigeria will pay an interest of 11.85 percent per annum on the $3.3 billion “pre-export finance facility” (PxF) facilitated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd and arranged by Afrexim Bank, TheCable can report.

Until now, the fine details of the transaction, which has a five-year tenor, had been withheld by all parties involved.

A similar cocoa-backed $800 million facility arranged for Ghana by its cocoa marketing board attracts an interest of 8 percent per annum.

Bilateral lenders, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), would typically charge 1-3 percent with a longer tenor.

In the details seen by TheCable, Nigeria pledged a total of 164.25 million barrels of crude oil — at 90,000 barrels per day — starting from 2024 to repay the loan through Project Gazelle Funding Ltd, an “orphan” special purpose vehicle (SPV) incorporated in Bahamas for the PxF.

Effectively, the NNPC has pledged 38.58 percent of five years’ worth of tax and royalty oil to secure the loan.

‘DOLLAR LIQUIDITY TO STABILISE THE NAIRA’

The national oil company announced in August 2023 that the PxF was to support the federal government “in its ongoing fiscal and monetary policy reforms aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate market”, describing it as “a relief for the naira”.

It called the facility “crude oil repayment” with an upfront cash loan “against proceeds from a limited amount of future crude oil production”.

At the time, the dollar exchanged for an average of N775 in the official market and N885 on the streets.

The rates have now moved to N1,035/$ (official) and N1,230/$ (parallel).

I remembered years back when the PDP was in office, money just dey everywhere chai!!

thisweekng:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
