So to prevent loosing your money, you lock up your shop? I believe Christ said something about this in the "Parable of the 10 talents". A real pastor should be conversant with this, but not Osinbajo. The fact that Yoruba people are even praising Osinbajo over that gaffe show just how different the major tribes in Nigeria are in mindset.

Lol I noticed how you stylishly and conveniently labeled all OBI's stats as unverified, pending and false and in the same breath was quick to brandish Osibanjo's points as facts.How quick it is for you to quickly "verify" Osibanjo's points and label them as facts but got lazy and just labeled obi points as false and unverified. You didn't even hide the bias.

Where NL dey get these people from? grin

LIVE FACT CHECK: Verifying Osinbajo, Obi, vice-presidential candidates at 2019 poll debate

To keep politicians accountable at the vice-presidential and presidential debate, TheCable is live-checking the supposed facts and figures being bandied by those seeking the highest offices in the land.

The participating parties are; Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Young Progressives Party (YPP).

Peter Obi of the PDP, and APC’s Yemi Osinbajo are debating alongside Ganiyu Galadima of ACPN, Khadijah Abdullahi of ANN and Umma Abdullahi-Getso of YPP.

CLAIM BY OBI: Total loans from the banks in Nigeria is N19trn and only 0.5% goes to SMEs

CHECKED: Unverified

CLAIM BY OSINBAJO: There is a tax threshold for SMEs, SMEs get to a level before they pay taxes

CHECKED: Verification in progress.

CLAIM BY GALADIMA: AFCTA will not benefit Nigeria

CHECKED: Cannot be proven by facts.

CLAIM BY OBI: African trade today is less than 9 percent

CHECKED: False. Intra-Africa Trade is 16 percent.

CLAIM BY OSINBAJO: Nigeria went down by 64 places under PDP, but has risen by 24 places under APC

CHECKED: True and False. Nigeria went down from 120 to 170 between 2008 and 2015, under PDP rule. Under the APC, ease of doing business has risen from 170 in 2015 to 146 in 2018, according to the World Bank Ease of Doing Business report.

CLAIM BY OBI: Oil give you 80% of foreign exchange earnings

CHECKED: False. According to CBN,

CLAIM BY OBI: To bring out goods from Apapa cost more than it takes to bring goods from Europe

Verification in progress

GALADIMA: We have four refineries in Nigeria, and none is working.

CHECKED: False. The refineries according to NNPC reports are working at sub-optimal levels.

UMMA GESTO: Nigerian Airways was one of the largest in the world

Verification in progress

OBI: Apple Inc’s market cap is bigger than the economy of Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt

CHECKED: Dicey. Apple’s market cap today is $788.57 billion. The economy of these three countries are bigger than Apple. When Apple was $1 trillion a few months ago, it was bigger in dollar terms.

Editor’s Note: This is a developing situation, the claim verification is an ongoing process. As soon as they are verified, they would be updated.

OSINBAJO: There is a tax threshold for SMEs, SMEs get to a level before they pay taxes.

CHECKED: True. There is a lower tax rate of 20% applicable to small companies in manufacturing, agriculture and mining within their first five years of business. #Debate2019 https:///XmAnOtIjlG

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Is Nigeria now producing 98percent of local rice we consume?
if stats says so, then we take it as the official position.... and that's what Osinbajo can make reference to. Smuggled rice is unofficial and illegal, so how in the context that he speaks of would he consider otherwise?
