I thought solar is a good form of energy?
Princedapace:
Baba, I need electricity, period. I need my purchasing power increased, period not reducing my purchaisng power.
Like I dont want to sleep under heat and mosquitoe pls. All these other countries happy, they have electricity, Leave Peter Obi matter, I just want light and water, I am tired of carrying generator to fix. It is heavy and noisy and annoying.
I want quality healthcare. Like, i want at least the level of SA healthcare abeg. Do u get? These are what affect ordinary Nigerians. I want to stop paying estate security, I want emergency services respond to me like they do in SA. I dont want to dig bore hole to get water and I want to stop buying bottle water. It is expensive and no one will deduct that from my tax.
I want to stop wasting money on politicians who live so lavishly while masses suffer. These are whar will make us happy. We cant be dying at the hospital becus of no electricity at hospital and u expect us to be happy for mumu statis. I was at a private hosptial, they are using solar and them dey manage am. Rubbish country.

Federal government is not responsible for general hospitals?

No President can provide uninterrupted electricity, pipe borne water, universal health coverage and effective security for over 230 million people under three years. Not when he inherited a complete mess in all those areas. Anybody telling you they will achieve those things in four years is lying.


FG has been handling electricity since 1960 without much success. It should be obvious to every sensible person that FG alone can’t provide electricity for all Nigerians. That’s why the Jonathan administration privatized some aspect of the electricity value chain in 2013. Even at that, the private sector couldn’t attract the needed investment because of the huge subsidy in the system. The Tinubu administration has now removed electricity from the exclusive list. State and private sector can now generate, transmit and distribute electricity to the final consumer outside of the national grid. So, go and ask what your state governor is doing about electricity.

Water supply is another concurrent issue. Is it best handled by your state government. Go and ask your governor what he’s doing about water supply. The president in Abuja cannot provide drinking water to 230 million people.

Same apply to the health sector. Primary and secondary health facilities are the responsibility of your state government. The president in Abuja cannot provide PHC facilities for 230 million people. It’s impossible. The FG should only provide tertiary health care institutions. State and private sector should cover the rest. Again, go and and ask your state governor about what he’s doing in the heath sector.

This news ordinarily should elicit optimistic and positive reactions from all sensible Nigerian. Since the IMF published the stats, folks who primarily come from the SE have done everything humanly possible to attack and condemn the news. While Chinese, Indians and nationals of other countries mentioned in the top ten went under the tweet to project their countries positively, these set of Nigerians who support Peter Obi went under the tweet to attract IMF and world of statistics.

South African and a lot of Europeans went under same tweet to bash their government for not doing enough to make the top ten. In fact, some Europeans appealed to IMF to present the EU as a country so that the EU can make the top ten. That’s how much other countries value the achievement. But in Nigeria, these haters are attacking everybody because Nigeria achieved what a lot of other countries are struggling to achieve. They are so pained and angry.

Sadly for them, our economic growth is on a very high trajectory. It is unstoppable. The country shall continue to get better and they shall continue to get angry.
When you people in APC are done doing media propaganda, you will log off and face reality.


E say excitement but if snake bite am now, there is no anti venom to save his life.

If there is any iota of sense in your head, you should know that snake venom should be available at primary health care facilities that are run by state and local government. It is only an abnormal person that will think it is the job of the President to personally procure snake venom for over 230 million people.

They are responsible for tertiary health facilities. That is, federal medical centers and Federal teaching hospitals of federal universities. Teaching hospitals of state universities belongs to the respective state governments.

Nope, a country should provide electricity for the citizne. Like we cant be spending such huge amount of money on politicians for nothing.
And if I can provide my self most of my electricity, water, security, healthcare, eductation, pls why does the govt wants to take up to 25 percent of my income tax after taking tax from VAT from me, bank charges, import duties, levies, etc?

Your post is contradicting.

I thought general hospitals is the same thing with FMCs. So why separating dem!

😆 😆 😆. General hospital is different from federal Medical center.
General hospital is owed by the State while Fmc is owned by federal govt.state that don't have teaching hospital will have FMC
Re: How Nigeria Knocked Out South Africa In Global GDP Contributions by Love800(m): 1:23pm On Feb 06
Okay.

But both of dem are of the same capacity in terms of quality. Or is one higher than the other?
Am referring to general hospitals vs FMCs.

Lmaooo once you See APC paid write up you just know

Nigeria GDP is not bigger than South Africa GDP we are 40% or more short off

Real GDP contribution is largely driven by population and not productivity

You know the painful part? APC guys know this but would still push the wrong narrative

Same when they started measuring GDP in PPP lol
APC paid IMF? cheesy A list that IMF compiled using data that are available publicly, knowing fully well that there are institutions and private experts watching are readily available to scrutinize any time

God abeg. I dont want to be sink this -low- no matter what life throws at me
