If PDP Had Invested Well, Nigeria Will Be Better Than Dubai – Fashola by ganisucks(op): 10:30am On Jul 04, 2020
Mr. Tunde Fashola, Nigeria’s minister of works and housing has berated the main opposition party, the People Democratic Party (PDP) for being responsible for Nigeria backwardness and lack of development.

"If we had put the $12billion we paid creditors in 2005 into infrastructure, we would have been telling a different story now" we opted to pay creditors. This was the same year Dubai was building what we see now"

The minister accused the PDP of wasting huge amount of money that ought to have been used for infrastructure on things that do not matter.
Plus TV Africa on Friday quoted Fashola to have said “If we had put the $12billion we paid creditors in 2005 into infrastructure, we would have been telling a different story now” we opted to pay creditors. This was the same year Dubai was building what we see now”

Re: If PDP Had Invested Well, Nigeria Will Be Better Than Dubai – Fashola by Hezzyluv:
Pls kindly tell us sir, with due respect, why is Lagos not up to quarter of Dubai?

Did you not promised us 24hours light? And what are we having in return? Vice versa right?

Again, if APC should continue rolling this country till the next 20years, will it make Nigeria better then Dubai?

what did your boss said about Dollar vs Naira during his campaign?

What did he promised on Health?

What sayeth he about Boko harah?

And he's fulfilled all he promised abi?

no be the same PDP be APC 2day?

Let's be frank, so long as blame games continues within the political elites, Nigeria will never be great. All what 9ja politicians know is their pocket, their pocket their pocket.

I knew it, they have exhausted all other options so they have opted for throwing blames after 5 years!
Re: If PDP Had Invested Well, Nigeria Will Be Better Than Dubai – Fashola by Kriss216: 10:38am On Jul 04, 2020
5 years in power and they're still blaming PDP.

APC has nothing to offer Nigeria. The earlier we understand that, the better for us.

It's been five years of APc investment ....yet no Dubai in view
Re: If PDP Had Invested Well, Nigeria Will Be Better Than Dubai – Fashola by Nobody: 10:39am On Jul 04, 2020
Comparing Nigeria to Dubai is the most foolish comparison ever

Dubia is a small country ...makes over 100 times more money Dan is per capital from oil

Debt clearance was to give Nigeria a fresh start ...to grow ...

So this is the one some people are painting smart ?

Population, size of country


I dont think he meant it that way, cause it's easy to develop a small house with 4 people, it's another story if the house is big with plenty people

Then there is absolute Monarchy in dubai, so the king can say spend this money on nepa and that's it

Fashola is educated, he wouldn't directly make such comparisons


PDP looted the country dry, that is a given, when I see ipob youth clamoring for pdp return, I am not shocked or bothered, some people dont know the effect of oil price on Nigerian economy, pdp had it good for 16 years, buhari has tried if anything to still be able to work with these low prices, Nigeria still has some bad eggs but as far as general growth is concerned, it's in line to grow, just need to reduce government recurrent expenditures and have more funds for capital development


More companies, equal more jobs, equals more taxes and productive Nigerians which will produce more educated kids that will be more productive in the future, if you look at the maths, you will see the people behind our problems.

A whooping $12 billion paid to creditors. The money could be used to build many infrastructures like Underground rails, power plants, highways etc

This man was governor of Lagos state for good 8 years. Nothing to show for it upon the internally generated revenue Lagos got.
APC have been in power for 5 years plus now no improvement in every sectors.

So we should also continue blaming Pdp for the security challenges cos ATM Dasuki diverted money meant to procure arms and ammunition?

Our debt is now running into trillions.

You are borrowing money like MTN credit borrowing.

Yet nothing has improved. Everything is going worse.

Please we want the PDP 16 years back
