HacheNoire:
Osun State in the bag!

When we tell the political minions that the demigod, His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is ahead of time, they always think we bragging.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) ways is far ahead of what mere humans can comprehend.

His ways are not our ways.

This one below wants to use propaganda and lies to meet Trump

Oga, Nigeria has 10 fires. You’re telling us not to fetch water because there’s also flood. That’s conman logic. We will fight brothels AND bandits AND hunger.

The President swore to protect lives AND morals. Not just GDP. If he can fight insecurity, he can fight immorality too. No excuses.
If we waited to solve ALL problems before solving ONE, Nigeria would never move. We’re starting here. Join or watch.

Listen, terrorism uses poverty. Kidnapping uses broken homes. Corruption starts with character. Brothels produce the fatherless boys who become kidnappers and terrorists tomorrow. You want to wait until they grow up?


Who said it’s either brothels OR inflation? We can fight 10 problems at once. Or do you only have energy to defend one?
So because there’s cancer, we should ignore HIV? Nigeria is sick on all sides. We’re treating this side.

It’s convenient to call it ‘not pressing’ when it’s not your daughter being recruited. When it is, you’ll be the first to shout.
A nation that normalizes selling bodies will never defeat corruption of the soul. That’s why Nigeria is rated as one of the most corrupt countries

Radicalwarrior:
Stop deceiving yourself with your lies and propaganda.

Your Tinubu is a betrayal that betray his supporters and more supporters keep defecting on a daily basis while hypocrite like you keep pretending.

Go get a Job and help yourself.

Delta State has many economic possibilities, but one question deserves more serious public discussion: what should drive the next wave of sustainable jobs in the state?

For many young people, the issue is not simply whether government can announce employment programmes. The bigger question is whether Delta can build an economy where businesses grow, industries emerge, skills are rewarded, investment is encouraged and people can earn sustainable incomes.

That conversation should go beyond political slogans.

Delta has opportunities in several areas, including agriculture and agro-processing, manufacturing, logistics, maritime activities, construction, technology and services. Each sector has different requirements, advantages and challenges.
The important question is: which sectors should receive greater strategic attention, and what should government actually do to help them grow?

Agriculture: Beyond Production

Agriculture remains an important part of Delta’s economic potential.
But producing agricultural commodities is only one part of the equation. Farmers also need access to markets, storage, processing, transportation, financing, technology and reliable infrastructure.

Agro-processing could potentially create additional economic activity by connecting primary producers with manufacturing and distribution.
The discussion therefore should not stop at “support agriculture.”

We should ask:
How can Delta move from producing raw agricultural products to building more value around them?
Manufacturing and Industry

Industrial development can create employment beyond the factory floor.
A functioning industrial ecosystem can involve suppliers, transporters, technicians, artisans, distributors, professional services and other businesses.

But industries need an environment in which they can operate.
Infrastructure, electricity, roads, regulatory processes, access to markets, security and investment conditions all matter.
This raises another important question:

What can a state government realistically do to make Delta more attractive for productive investment?
The Maritime Opportunity
Delta’s geographical position also makes maritime activity worthy of serious discussion.

The maritime economy can involve transportation, logistics, ports and related services. But opportunities do not automatically become jobs simply because a state possesses geographical advantages.
They require planning, infrastructure, skills, investment and coordination.

Any serious conversation about this sector should therefore focus on practical questions rather than broad promises.

What specific maritime opportunities can Delta develop?
What infrastructure would be required?
What skills would young people need?
And what role should the state government play?

Technology and Services

Not every young Deltan will work in agriculture, construction or manufacturing.
Technology and modern services provide another area for economic participation, particularly for young people whose skills can connect them to markets beyond their immediate communities.
But digital opportunity also requires skills.

Training without pathways to actual work or markets may not be enough.
The conversation should therefore connect skills development with entrepreneurship, employment and market access.
Where Does Isaac Eshor Fit Into This Conversation?

Engr. Isaac O. Eshor is presenting his political message around Courage, Integrity and Competence.
The competence component is particularly relevant to this economic discussion.

Competence in government should mean more than possessing qualifications or occupying an office. It should mean understanding problems, developing workable policies, building institutions and being accountable for results.

From this perspective, the question is not simply:
“How many jobs will government create?”
A more useful question may be:

“How can government create the conditions in which thousands of productive jobs can emerge through agriculture, industry, enterprise, infrastructure, maritime activity and services?”
That distinction matters.
Government itself cannot employ everyone. A sustainable economy requires businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, farmers, professionals, skilled workers and institutions to participate.

The responsibility of government is therefore also about creating an environment in which productive activity can grow.

But What Should Come First?
This is where citizens should have a voice.
If Delta had to prioritise one area for stronger attention to job creation, which would you choose?

A. Agriculture and agro-processing
B. Manufacturing and industry
C. Maritime economy and logistics
D. Technology and modern services
There is no need to turn the question into a partisan argument.
A person can support one political party and still believe agriculture should receive priority.
Another person can support a different candidate and believe maritime development offers greater potential.

The important thing is to explain the reasoning.
What infrastructure would your preferred sector require?
What skills would young people need?
What should government provide?
What should private businesses provide?

What can realistically be achieved within a state government’s constitutional and financial responsibilities?
These are the kinds of questions that can make political conversations more useful.

Beyond Political Promises

Delta’s development conversation should ultimately be measured by outcomes.
Are businesses growing?
Are young people gaining useful skills?
Are farmers able to access markets?
Are industries operating productively?
Is infrastructure supporting economic activity?
Are public institutions transparent and accountable?
Can citizens see measurable improvements in their communities?

Those questions should matter regardless of which political party a person supports.
For Isaac Eshor, the message is that leadership should be judged by Courage, Integrity and Competence.
But those words should not simply remain campaign language.

They should invite scrutiny.
What does courage mean in economic decision-making?
What does integrity mean in public spending and accountability?
What does competence look like when government has to solve difficult problems with limited resources?

Those are questions worth asking before any election.
Delta needs a serious conversation about the economy it wants to build—not just the politicians it wants to elect.

So, if you had the opportunity to advise the next Delta State administration:
Which sector should receive the strongest priority for sustainable job creation, and why?

Let’s hear your reasoning.

I just found out cans are cheap in supermarkets. I bought 50cl Life, Budweiser and Trophy for 800 Naira each. I will close this thread. Beer is still cheap — if you want to drink it solo at home.

sleeknaija:
Yes he is jobless

eepeepook:
1,000 Naira, where?

eepeepook:
This isn’t saying much. Beer was 1,500 - 1,800 Naira two years ago. It means my guess would have been more calculated than yours despite a two-year hiatus.

You remember how una spend millions of dollars to go white wash una image before Trump on the Christian genocide going on in the North.

I would have asked you to use your brain unfortunately for you that wont be necessary

agentNija:
My prayer is for God to give job to the jobless like the OP. Amen.

By the British or American and other Western army positions if you fail military promotional examinations twice you cannot be promoted a Colonel. In a well considered and salutary decision, The Army Council while General Danjuma was Chief of Army Staff and Yar'Adua was Chief of Staff Supreme Headquarters recommended Sanni Abacha and Ibrahim Babangida be retired because they failed the exams twice. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo who was the Head of State pleaded they retain them. Imagine how better for Nigeria it would have been if merit was upheld and Sanni Abacha and Ibrahim Babangida had been retired back then for failing military promotional exams twice! We would have been spared the evil the two men inflicted on Nigeria! I hope we will learn our lessons and enthrone merit above other less worthy considerations.

Adeleke was already governor during the 2023 presidential election.

Sometimes I wonder if these oppositions see all this or not

Beautifulday:
No! Nah about going to mosque

CharlesCNG:
Aside from obi's anambra governorship record , his biggest drawback is that obi and his supporter do not realise that Opponents Have Studied the 2023 Election.

One of the greatest advantages enjoyed by Obi in 2023 was surprise; but campaigns rarely succeed by simply repeating what worked before.

His opponents now understand the messaging, demographics and mobilisation strategies that fuelled his campaign in 2023.

what has now happened is that Opponents studied his 2023 strategies, have adapted their own counter messaging, refine their organization, and prepare for the tactics that surprised them in the last contest.

One lesson from past elections is that Electoral advantages based on novelty are often harder to reproduce unless a campaign evolves alongside a changing political environment.
