Do you think you're talking to a 10 years old boy? 😡😡

How can you be lying so boldly 😡😡😡😡

Or is there another Lagos-Ibadan express way in this Nigeria you're talking about?

Jonathan was only fixing Lagos Ibadan on papers, nothing was been done.

Buhari started the construction of the Lagos Ibadan expressway.

Buhari did most of th work on the road, Asiwaju is now finishing it
Funny you called out a lie, and then lied. MAALU BooOOOHARI is to be fully credited for the construction of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway from start to finish. Don't attempt to infuse Thubv there. We know how Thubv operates, a sample is the far shorter Lagos-badagry expressway that is still ongoing after 20years. None of these new roads aka conduits will be completed come 2031.

Dazall. 📌

It doesn't even mean we still cant borrow, but let the borrowing be tied to very specific capital projects.
And subsidy savings will be tied to Tinubu lootings. You guys are pathetic

Criteria for Government/Public borrowings:

1) for capital projects ONLY
2) there must be marginal income/revenue from the completed projects
3) low interest loan
4) loan duration/tenure should not surpass projects lifespan
5) ability to repay loan as agreed and and repayment funded mostly from the projects income/revenue
6) aggregate loan portfolios still under the internationally agreed threshold ratio, that is, Loan bs GDP, Loan vs Budget Allocation for Loan Services etc.

If I may ask Khalifah Sanusi:

1) why is America borrowing every single day of this life and sitting under the loan burden of about $40 Trillion, even as USA’s infrastructure is developed to a 1st world standard

2) how can Nigeria rapidly develop her infrastructure to, at least, 2nd world standard with a meagre revenue of less than $50 Billion per annum

3) can a less than $15 Billion annual capital budget make desirable impact on our demand for rapid development

4) The NYPD—New York City Police Department alone, spends about the same as the total 250m Nigeria’s annual budget , how pathetic is that

5) how can Nigeria’s GDP reach a $$$Trillion without adequate provision for capital projects and creating economic opportunities for the masses

6) is it not a shame that Nigeria GDP is considered one of the lowest by population and other indices

7) can anyone, including Khalifa Sanusi proffer funding alternatives for infrastructure for Nigeria
Yet how are the Nigerian political class more opulent than even the political class of these first world countries despite how 'poor' and shambolic the country is?

Riddle me that.

I'm not lying, Tinubu administration is spending billions of naira to complete the Lagos Ibadan expressway.

Asiwaju administration also spent billions of naira to complete the Bodo-Bonny road
As at February 2026 when I pass through the Lagos Ibadan expressway, construction is still ongoing

You're the only one lying, im not like you, I'm not someone like you at all, at all. I don't even associate myself with people like you.

You will rather sit down in your house in Umudike to spread lies about a road you know nothing about.

Nigeria was borrowing to pay for subsidy before Asiwaju became the President

Under Jonathan, we were borrowing to pay Salaries, borrowing to pay for subsidy, Pension, and also borrowing to build projects

Under Buhari, we were borrowing to pay subsidy on fuel, and also borrowing to pay salaries, pensions and also borrowing to build projects


Under Asiwaju, we're not borrowing to pay pensions or salaries, we're not borrowing to pay for subsidy, we're only borrowing to spend on Capital Projects.

I expect Sanusi to know there's no problem borrowing to build capital projects
Oga, Omo Tinubu! Sincerely, infrastructure is what Nigeria need during this bleeding time. Pls lets always show we go school here fa. There are numerous graduates here.

List just one developed country in the world with bad roads?

Do you even know trailers moving goods spend days on a journey that's not suppose to be up to 7hrs?

Without good roads, good security ,power and education which Asiwaju is busy fixing, Nigeria will never develop

How much has been spent on capital projects, and what meaningful impacts have citizens experienced? As a family man, would you rather borrow money to buy a house than allow your family to starve indefinitely?Your answer to this question goes a long way to tell how you think

You are the well documented liar na. Lol. Section 2 ko, C-section ni! Buhari that is now maggot food, constructed that express way right from Berger all the way to Iwo road Ibadan, around 120km. Your vague definition of section 2 is Iwo road to Ojoo, of less than 10km abi🤣

We know your tactics well. Again, I'll say, just like the fewer km Lagos-badagry road was a conduit, and isn't nearing completion after over 20years, similarly we KNOW that all these conduit projects/roads you are yapping about will not be completed come 2031. Then you will come out to say at least he started it, someone else will finish it. But the likes of Booooohari as useless as he was, actual started and FINISHED his roads, most of which have already been listed here. Don't attempt to jumble your failed leader up with maalu booooohari in that regard. Until you/he has delivered any of those roads, e lenu oro kankan ✅

Can you kindly point out the capital projects that have been completed with almost N80trillion in borrowings in just 3 years?



"We are borrowing for capital projects, we are borrowing for capital projects!!" This sounds like a beautiful nonsense excuse the government is using to deceive undescerning people. These capital projects that are worth N80trillion, where are they located?
