The only reason why north still dey flex power is becus yorubas and Igbos have vowed not to ever work together. Else, that northern region na rubbish.
How can U take money from VAT when U destroy alcohol?
How can sale of alcohol be haram but the money made from the sales of alcohol is not haram ?

yarimo:
OBI won't react since the accident happened in the east, very unfortunate man promoting division in the country

Those promiting Division are actually ur leaders. If they do the right thing, there wont be anything to react to. Buhari wasted 8 years, this one has continued where he stopped, yet it is someone like Obi who is not ruling anyone that is ur headache. The black man no get sense at all.

Stop Defending The Indifencible:
-eh,what sort of Weak Defences are you building around GEJ - that because he came from a Minority group?
-Are you saying that you need donkey ages to rule before serious impact can be felt by the People of Nigeria?
You are not even helping the Minority,then by your suggestions,the Minority kuku make them no seek Power to rule Nigeria,but Gowon was from a Minority group of Plateau State!
Power is Power, Minority or no Minority e.g.
- Lafeef Jakande, brought Monumental Development to Lagos State,in 1979, during the First Democratic Republic,so also are Bola Ige,
- Roads in all the L/ Govts of the State.
- Low Cost water Projects,all over the State.
- Low Cost Housings- e g Carpenters,Bricklayers,Plumbers,Office Workers,all got Houses,etc- once you Fill Forms ( 1bedroom, 2-bedroom,3-Bedroom,etc)
- Health Care Delivery
- Aggressive Educational - where three- shifting were merged and some said' na Chicken roofs),etc!
But who can come forward -to say they beat the then Governor Monumental Achievements,in Lagos State,as those Others Governors -have been Improving on the Standard laid .
All these were done within 4- hrs and Few Months, before Buhari and Idiagbon landed!
•If anyone has good plans,you can let the People of Nigeria feel it, within a very short period!
Stop giving excuses for people!

U expect GEJ to do what Yorubas and Fulanis couldnt do for over 50 years of holding power both as militart and civilians?
How come?
Or have u accepted that both Yorubas and fulanis failed this country?

lacasera14:
So Enugu beats Lagos? Because of the trees in Independence Layout and around Okpara Square? Lol 🤣 some of you are very funny and delusional.

Oga, the point is livibility, not talking about giant buildings. Lagos is chaotic, scattered and choking due to too many people. Nothing beats living in a place that u can see nature, embrace it and go out and return without traffic holding u down and polutions here and there.
Enugu is actually well planned by those older generation shaa. It was designed to be an administrative city.

bixton:
Nobody agrees to be naive. Even many of the political leaders and those who have been elected or appointed at one point in governance and admnisration are also well-read and well travelled.
I guess the man who controls the center is responsible for developing the rest of the country. Thank you very much. The only difference between the man at the centre and the one at the State or Local government is just the name, title and privileges.
But a coconut remains a coconut.
Before PMB decentralized electricity as you said, Bayelsa State of now had the Imiringi gas turbine project an independent one running since the days of old Rivers State and that project was generating and distributing electricity to Yenagoa and environs up till PGEJ was in office and Bayelsa State for some political reasons was added to the national grid and the independent gas project went comatose. There was also the independent gas project built in PHC by the Gov.Peter Odili admnisration and it fully because functional under the Gov. CRA tenure and some of it was added to the national grid as we were told.
I can't really remember but I think there are other States that had independent power projects before the decentralization of the electricity in the nation.
So......
No one can (truly) give what they don't have.

Go and ask those states what they saw and huddles they have to pass. So, why centralize such critical infrastrutue in the first place?
If not for such useless law, a state like Lagos would have generated enough electricity.
Pls, lets not pretend like Nigeria is properly structured. No other country on earth has the type of Nigeria's structure. And Yorubas and fulanis who have ruled this country for more than 50 years could not for once fix this core problem. They kept ruling and couldnt solve national problems such as electrictity. Did central govt even solve electricity problem in Aso Rock? They couldnt.
Yorubas and fulanis single handledly destroyed Nigeria with their leadership.
As sophiscated people, they should have turned Nigeria to at least be on the same level with South Africa or Morocco sef. lol

Bluntemperor:
See, Bro,you forgot something Or you deliberately speak half -truth o!
Your GEJ rules for 6- years,true or false?
Why couldn't he effect serious changes?

GEJ is from a minority ethnic group and u cant compare 6 years of rulership with that of Yorubas and Fulanis who have ruled this country for more than 50 years. So, what is half truth in it?
Yorubas and fulais combined have ruled this for over 50 years

bixton:
The bolded is a cheap ethnic and tribal excuse. Just flush it down the toilet.

Look at this one, bring fact! Why do u think Nigerians have been glamouring for decentralization?
Who controls the center has control over the following:
The executive list which is the core of Nigeria.
Controls the police
controls the military and all security agencies
controls INEC
Controls water ways
control oil and gas
controls the judges
Influences the national assembly
controls CBN

The list goes on and on. That is why the ethnic groups fight blood to take charge of the center.
Yorubas and Fulanis have enjoyed this central power for decades but couldnt provide Nigeria ordinary electricty.
It was Buhari who decentralized Electricity. It has been in the hands of the central govt for decades.
The central govt single handedly took control of Federal universities and determines what should be taught and what should be researched on.
They closed down all research centers in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka after the war. What a funny country. Countries develop based on research and science and technology. This one, because of fear of seccession, they closed down researches, limited international access by other regions. The list goes on. Do u think u are discussing with naive person? I am well read and well traveled at my young age.

seunmsg:
Azikiwe was president for 6 years. Agunyi Ironsi was head of state for 6 months. Ekwueme was Vice president for 5 year. Ebitu Ukiwe was Vice President for 2 years. Goodluck Jonathan was President for 6 years. Can you now stop lying?

He was a ceremonial president and had no executive power. Ahmed Bello was the prime minister and controlled the execitive power.
Vice president has no power. he is just there to enjoy money just as the Yoruba vice president under Buhari had no power. Just as ur vice governors are bunch of useless people with no executive power.
Bring more facts.
Yorubas and Fulanis ruled Nigeria and controlled the executive and they couldnt provide ordinary electricity for Nigerians for all these decades. It is a shame that such ethnic groups have no brain that can fix the dead country.

seunmsg:
Nigerian leaders have failed Nigerians from all regions. Leaders from SE like Peter Obi who tripled poverty in Anambra state and left without a single legacy project is not different from a NC leader like Yahaya Bello.

All our leaders from all regions have failed us collectively. We should call all of them out.

Whoever controls the central govt, controls the country. Igbos have not had control of the central govt. It is the Yorubas and the Fulanis who failed Nigeria. Look at what they could build for us as a country after over 60 years. it is a big shame to the two ethnic groups. They love power so much but couldnt achieve anything with it!
Like, they should stop appearing for election. There is nothing a yoruba or fulani president can do anymore. They had powers for decades up till now and still couldnt provide Nigeria with electricity or water. Shame shame shame!

Why do you guys h@te South Africans? I am a Nigerian but I must say the truth.
We pretend a lot! Yes!
First, how many companies in the US has banned our IP? Countless number. Recently, Wise hit me with a ban. I did nothing but because I am a Nigerian in Nigeria, I got hit!
Our image has been ruined because we are actually bad!
Should we pretend like our society as it stands is in chaos where fraud is now what Nigerians are proud of. I mean, go to our forum, websites, whatsapp, bombers are proud, our music promote it, like, u can walk into a family today and say u be "Gboy' and everyone will praise and honour you. We kinda have accepted fraud.
These countries like SA still have a weak state institions, so their citizens are so angry that most of our people come there and commit crime, mess up their society name and IP and u want them to keep quiet?
In Nigeria today, arent we facing same thing? I have been harrassed by the police many times because I drive and young! But do I blame them? No, practically many young guys are into fraud. We cant deny this! We can lie as much as we want but the truth is bitter.
We cant deny that on tiktok, our fraudstars are so proud and brag about being fraudstars and showcase it.
We are living in a society where u can interview a lady and she would say, she would marry a Gboy! Like Gboy is now a respectable career.
So, na this type of society we want SA to give us free hand to do? If they had a reliable and strong state institions, they would handled it. But even in the US, Nigerians still commit lot of crimes.
U go to joints and see people proudly associate with fraud. It is messy!
We dont want to talk about drug buisness. Pls, u dont need to hate these guys, their fears are understandable.
How many countries still trust any IP coming from Nigeria?
Infact, does our police even trust us?
Finally, do we even trust our selves here? lol, abeg make una free SA abeg

helinues:
27 days, 2 days, let the next Ohaneze president be from the 5 South East states.

Please what exactly have the Igbo's been benefitting from the so called Igbo's in South South ?

We do not need to benefit anything from them. They are igbos. How do u want to make them minority when they are majority ?

Imagine leaving Nsukka out of Igbos because they maybe in the future, calved into Benue or another state and call them north, central central

helinues:
Better

Stick your cultural title to your 5 states and stop being used by others

The likes of Amaechi, Ned Nwoko, Asari even NOI only remember being Igbo's when they need something from the people from the region.

That's boboring

Go and read! Black man will never read.
This man is to complete the tenure for Imo state which is just 27 days. After that, he would help conduct election for the next president that would lead for 4 years.
This is fair.
This organization have presidents from Delta, rivers and the 5 eastern states. The igbos in Delta and Rivers are not less Igbos. They are igbos as well. So, if tomorrow, Ebonyi State is calved out of South east and added to north centra. Or Nsukka is added to North central by another govt, will that make Nsukka people less Igbos?
Some of u need to understand the difference between ancestry and state creation.

God1000:
Grow up Kemi and stop behaving like a baby, making disparaging remarks about Nigeria every now and then doesn't speak well of her.


I wonder what she's trying to achieve

she is sharing her experiences, what is wrong with that?

psychologist:
Sentiments apart

These guys are ahead of Nigeria

lol, Nigeria does not come close to SA in anything. Lol, for a start, SA has a working and proud football league. We should get that first. SA has a good sport league for almost all the sports.
The countries that can challenge SA within Africa and even in Easten Europen no much. Lol
SA is a place u can experience Western European close standard at an affordable rate. A lot of African Americans are moving there.
Infact, Nigeria does not come close. Lol

DeeScan:
atleast they don't control our country

The one that we are controlling, how market?
I have been on gen since 11AM, I am tired!
I have solar 5kva total, running fuel at my two businesess and home plus expensive solar installations, is it the benefit of the control that we have?
Omo, I am dam tired abeg. I drive my car, I weep, roads are so terrible. One pot hole nearly destroyed my rims. God, have mercy. Pls, this control that we have is worse than what they have abeg. The noise of generator daily, dam!

KOMBE:
Okay, hopefully the governors will not use state police to rig the next election.

FG have been doing it, so no problem if state do same since we dont want to start punishing people who rig elections.

Someone said openly that if u dont vote for APC, return to ur region. He was not arrested. He is walking freely. If u cant fix that as a nation, forget about free and fair election.
Blacks are the most unproductive creatures ever created by god.

Alliswell248:
Truth all because of election...
The internet never forgets..

The same way GRV political ambition has been rendered useless because of unbridled tongue.

Time would tell

This is why the black race wont grow. Come on, cant we ask our selves questions?
The problem here is not the unpaid citizen who said the truth about insecurity, electricity, water, road, state of the nation, corruptiom, tribalism. The citizen is not paid. The citizen even pays the political class. The problem is the ruling class who were paid to provide these things but failed to do their jobs.
When are will going to stop making excuses for these criminals called police.
All over Nigeria, millions go to bed with no electricity, battling with intense heat and mosquitoes, while the ruling class enjoy uninterrupted power supply free of charge. And u are angry that the citizen who has no electricty and battles with heat spoke the true reality of his/her state, but u make excuses for the ruling class who were paid to provide these things?
Omo, the type of people that I share country with makes me sad.

boxypane:
I'm sure some of your own very choices has affected your future one way or the other... Whether now or tomorrow, she will seek the African validity.
And one point of note is that she's black and shall always be. This she will be reminded one day

I dont understand. She said the truth about her experience. What is wrong with that?
It is like being angry that I told the world that we suffer a lot due to poor electricity that I had to install total of 5kva solar system. If we had stable electricity, I wont be doing that. So, u will get mad at me for saying this? Is this not the truth?

ademasta:
You are 💯 % correct sir. Yet, let's do something even if it's gradual.

But u didnt say same thing to Jonathan
Or did the electricity infrastructure that has been existing before GEJ change?
Politics will humble u people in Nigeria shaa.

Doo1:
Israel has not really faced any Government of a country since last year. it has been terrorist Israel has been fighting. Even the strike in Iraq was initially caused by Hezbollah. So, Russia starting a war in Ukraine was wrong because there was not terrorists attacking or threatening Russia from Ukraine. The problem in Middle East is that many Arab nations are supporting and protecting the terrorist.

Are u not listening to ur self?
USA presence in Ukrain is a threat to Russia. USA will not allow Russian military presence in Cuba or Mexico or Canada. Lets call a spade, a spade.
USA is a very dirty country. If u dont know politics, go and listen to many American scholars school u over this issue. This is a proxy war and no be today they starts proxy war.
America and Russia had an agreement that binds on respecting one another and do not intefere in one another's interests. NATO kept on sorrounding Russia. Do u know how easy it would be for US if they can operate very close within Russia? They can easily monitor events in Russia and can plan protests and uprising in Russia and can plot to destabilize Russia. What I am saying maybe very big for u to understand. This is American game and every world power knows this, from China to Russia, they know this. America's aim is to push u into submission. They attack a country they see as competitor via proxy war or distabilize the country. This is something America has done for years.
Due to their dollar advantage, America bullies many countries into submission and also lure many countries into their arms.
Well, some countries agree to be bullied and also to bow to America. But there are some countries that have vowed not to. Example is North Korea, China, Russia. They have refused to be bullied by America.
So, When America instigated the coup that removed a Russian backed/favourite leader in Ukrain, Russia saw it as a big slap because Russia does not do that to the USA. Russia stays out of US interests.
It didnt end there, American elites kept on circling Russia. The main aim is simple, break Russia into smaller countries that would be weak and submit to America.
Putin knows this! Worse again, many Russian people in eastern Region of Ukrain were been killed. And Ukrain became a training ground for NATO and her experiments. The entire aim of these trainings was against Russia. It is easier to strike Moscow from close rage and it is easier to gather vita intel about Russia from Ukrain. They were building and training Ukrainean forces. Moscow kept warning that they should leave, they refused. Moscow acted!
That is self defence. America would have done same if Russia starts building serious military alligence with Cuba, Mexica that are close to the US.
Go and study America well. Their aim is simple: Weaken Russia, weaken China. These countries are their only challengers on earth. Why not put them off?
Well, the game is on now. The world must not be led by one greedy country alone. The political system would be balanced.

Arrowhead71:
Well that is what your Putin said he was doing attacking Ukraine which is lies, but Russia cannot attack Israel because the day Russia try it will be the beginning of the end of this world

Just the way Israel can not strike Russia.
So, everyone is free to protect their own interests and security. I have no problem if Israel is doing same. But trying make Israel a Hero while Making Russia a devil beats my imagination.
Over the years, we have seen the US attack countries they felt were a serious threat to them.
Ukrain harboring NATO is a great threat to Russia and US trying to get into Ukrain by removing Russian backed elected leader was a slap on Russian face. So, all is fair in war.

Botragelad:
Good. Then don't cry when Israel levels the whole of Syria! 😂😂

Why should I cry? What is my business? I am only against those who support this act by Israel and condemn Russia. Lol
Nigerians shaa

Botragelad:
Is there not a proper government with a leader in the US? 😂

Again, did Israel send ground forces to invade and annex deep inside of Syria like Russia did to Ukraine, even when Ukraine never fired a missile into Moscow? 🤷🏼

What is ur definition of proper govt? The Syrian people have spoken and wanted this govt, who are u to say it is not proper?
One thing about supporters of America is that they lack logic. Unlike those of us who are very neautral. I support Israel rights to defend her self and attack any threat they see ahead of time.
I support Russia to defend her self as well.

Botragelad:
Did Israel send ground troop to invade Damascus? 😂

Oh, really? Striking their assets is not invation? lol
Go and strike the US and say u didnt invade US.

Botragelad:
Did those country strike or threaten to strike or carry out any terrorist activity on Russia? 🤷🏼

Did Syria strike Israel?

Botragelad:
All you lot accusing Israel of being land grabbers need to read. If Israel really wanted to get all up in Lebanon's grill, they could've taken Hezbollah's stronghold in southern Lebanon, but they didn't. They just sent in the ground forces for a bit to decimate hezbollah, then stepped out like they promised.

Now, here's the part hat should make Israel's enemies proper scared. Israel's got the intel on all Syria's ports, ammo dumps, and naval fleets, but they've been keeping it classy, restraining the IAF from taking over and striking for years, all in the name of diplomacy. But now, with all these Islamic terrorist and rebel extremists running around, Israel's had to take out Syria's air and naval assets, just to keep everyone in check.

It's a right deterrent. Israel's showing it won't hesitate to strike if someone's getting a bit too big for their boots.

Am yisreal chai 🇮🇱!

How about Russia also striking anyone she feels would be a threat to her soverignty.

Nodogragra4me:
Russia is a third world army with nuclear weapons.. Cia


Nato is not fighting otherwise Russia would be gone... Nato member country

military men are going on awol and surfacing in Ukraine


Russia is not a match for Nato.. Somebody that is buying third-rate weapons from Iran and North Korea. Using badly trained Korea soldiers on battle


Somebody whose air defence system in Iran was destroyed by IAF without downing a single jet even when over 100 fighter jets were used by IAF.


Russia exposed the lies about their weaponry and has lost global shares of sales of weapon systems to the US and Israel by nearly 90 percent.. Nobody is talking Russian made weapons like before


The ones captured by Ukrainian forces were examined and found to he filled with western components and badly designed.. How can you expect troops to be loading shells on tanks from outside



Everytime there is need to reload, the guys have to come out to do this.. No automated reloading


The hottest piece in defence right now is Israel arrow three.. In fact, it is headed for Europe, to be stationed in Germany

Oga, I want u to know this, if Russia is as weak as u said, do u know what NATO did to Gadaffi? That is what they would have done to Putin. They hate him so much.
The US doesnt fight alone. She fights with UK, France and many other allies. They should fight alone first.
Then, Russia is fighting agaisnt NATO. Dont make the mistake. I dont want to argue with you. In warfare, intelligence that is accurate is key to the war. NATO provide acurate intelligence reporting to Ukraine, NATO trains UKrain forces, NATO send machinaries to fight there. Many US special forces have been gunned down in Ukrain. NATO provide funds, NATO also sanctioned Russia. All of these and you still think NATO is not fighting Russia? U must be sick then. This is a war between US and Russia via proxy. Go and check how much the US and NATO have spent in a war that u said they arent fighting?
Russia under heavy sanction, has fought this war and gained almost 30 percent of Ukrain lands including key sea ports. What else do u want?
Go and read how many American soldiers have died in wars. No country will fight war without losing.
If them born Your AMerica well, she should invade Russia and fight na. Putin has done worse things than Gadaffi did. Or have u forgotten what America has been doing to other smaller countries? Yet America wont be in sanction and AMerica will fight with all allies and yet still lost in Afganistan.

The sad thing here is that these world powers will always toy with these countries while these world powers will keep enjoying stability in their home lands.
Whoever that takes over will not still have peace. These world powers will keep playing and fighting one another 's interests in these countries. Libya has never remained the same since the West messed it up.
So, same thing will play out here. The regime that fell, another rebell will rise and fight the current one. Lol!

Botragelad:
What were you expecting from the US when Afghanistan were not willing to fight for their country? 😂

You guys are bloody liars. Lol
Russia couldn't defend Syria, stop giving flimsy excuses, it's funny. It's similar to abadoning your brother just because he's too weak to fight.

Vodka drinking Ruzzian soldiers are only good with hiding under their bunkers.

Do u know that US fight with UK, France, and other allies and still lost in Afganistan.
Russia is engaged in a serious war right now with coalition of nations called NATO.

Mutigadara1:
"Hustling Southern Nigerians" are those services not rendered in the Northern part of the country?

That is why your nothern governors are weeping. Bulk of the money on VAT comes from the southern part of Nigeria. Southerners have dominated the non governt sectors and created multi billion naira industries in music, movie, tech, social media, creative industry, educational industry, etc. There are lots of southerners abroad who send in serious cash from abroad due to their success. The rate of money inflow in southern Nigeria is way too high and that is why politicians in the north are weeping. They will stop collecting these cash flow that comes into southern Nigeria. It is a right direction. Let everyone go and hustle.

iwaeda:
https://dailytrust.com/tax-bills-will-deepen-north-south-economic-disparities-arewa-media

This bill must be passed!
Also, everything needed to make other ports to work must also be pushed. Anything to make other regional airports to work in full capacity must be pushed.
Let every state hustle for their money. Agriculture alone is massive. U can make serious money out of it.
Can anyone pls link me up with this man here, I want us to debate. I think most northerners are just sick in their head. Like, u just wake up and marry 4 wives and birth too many kids and wait for oil and gas from southern Nigeria to pay for ur life style while we dont take a dime from ur gold? Thunder fire una. I never liked Tinubu but u see this bill, it must pass. If Tinubu pushes this bill, i will vote him in second term so that he dismantle more useless structures we have in this country.
Nigeria must be returned to true federal state. How will u destroy alcohol and still take money from alcohol? pls, does that even make sense to any human being? How do these guys reason up there in the north?
Somone from the north should pls reply me. How do u guys reason? How can alcohol be Haram but the money generated from alcohol is not haram? Howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww?

System202:
You seem to be contradicting urself. you claim that the majority of the ₦2.55 trillion tax revenue was generated by southern youth, implying that northerners don’t use social media. On the other hand, you complain about issues like lack of constant electricity, bad roads, and water supply, which are largely the responsibility of State Governors. Let’s not forget, a southerner has been president for two years. So why then is the anger directed at the Nort. Why

Oga, anger is not directed at the north. I am angry at all politicians. I am also angry at northerners for rejecting this tax. I mean, it is a good tax bill.
Why should u collect VAT from alcohol when u dont sell alcohol? Who does that?
Let states where u spent spent the money take the VAT so that we can begin to hold governors more accountable instead of the central govt.
Anyone against this tax bill is an evil person.
Why should u destroy alcohol buisiness and take money made from Alcohol? Why is the money from alcohol not Haram?
