Allowing them in your country is the error.

France has NO CHOICE but to ''allow them in their country''. FRANCE went into ''their countries'' first, uninvited, and disrupted their prosperous societies, just like other Europeans did across Africa and other parts of the world.

So foreigners, muslims, Africans, Arabs etc, all have the right to go to Europe, just like Mungo Park and Lord Lugard came here uninvited. UNDERSTOOD?

I honestly don't know what I would go find on Google when we are in the middle of a 10years insurgency that has given birth to banditry, and the resultant lack of farming in an otherwise self sufficient area

Dude, Earth is not a paradise. The areas where there is no insurgency (ie 99% of Nigeria), GO THERE AND FARM. You've ignored all those places to focus on ''NE'' out of desperation to criticise Nigeria.

Has there been a revolution in health care?
I think not, even the president would disagree since him, his wife and son prefer foreign hospitals

People like Buhari are scared of their rivals compromising hospital staff, and their getting treatment abroad is actually due to trust issues in the political arena.

There is an unprecedented drain of our skilled labour to more favorable countries. That should bother you

That is not unique to Nigeria. Even China has brain drain. It's a feature of developing countries.

When a bag of rice exceeds the minimum wage, I don't know what else to say!

Go for smaller sized bags, and cheaper brands, then you wouldn't have to spend that much.

I've never understood this Nigerian obsession with buying giant-sized bags of rice enough to feed a battalion.

Building and maintaining roads ,bridges and infrastructures is not a mystery. Don't compare failure with failure. Nigeria has an inefficient tax system and a lack of compulsory ID database to begin with . Nigerians don't pay tax only depend on free allocation which makes the politicians lazy and uncountable and irresponsible. So what's the complaints about? How many homes on that street in the photo paid property tax this year ?

Dude, it's not about ''comparing failure with failure''. It's about facing reality. In a hugely populated, developing country like Nigeria, which only began building roads in a serious way in the 1960s after independence, there are literally tens of thousands of kilometres of roads that will need asphalting for the next two decades at least.

It's easy to shout ''tax the people more!!'', but that in itself is a political calculation with dire ramifications for any govt looking to take it up to the next level. It's all about already struggling people and businesses unwilling to cough out more money. So the govt takes a slow approach to this tax issue to avoid pushback.

There are no easy answers!!

In countries where ''everything works'', like say, Norway, folks pay nearly up to HALF their earnings back to the govt as tax.

Can you imagine asking a Nigerian to pay half his income as tax, even if he's earning 10 million naira a month?

Economic development of a country can be measured by its per capita income, literacy rate, health status, infant mortality rate and life expectancy of persons living in that country.

Everything mentioned there is on a decline
Let's stop all these feel good rhetorics PLS

You are WRONG that ''everything there is on the decline''. GDP per capita, literacy rate etc are ALL RISING, while infant mortality rate is falllng. Life expectancy is also RISING. Go on Google and check out UN stats on Nigeria, I've no time to educate you.

Also profile the Millions of Nigerians who do not pay taxes(property tax,sales tax,income tax etc) . Nigeria loses $40 billion dollars in tax and fine evasions each year due to inefficient or non existent system.

If that figure (40 billion usd) is correct, it is a HUGE amount that should be going into our national budget, which currently stands at 35 billion usd per year - a pitiful sum for such a big country.

You can do this on literally any developing nation on Earth today.

The world comprises only 20% 'developed' nations where such sights are rare. The rest of the world all have roads like this.

Exactly. Tiwa, like most Nigerians, doesn't even realise she is embarrassing herself by calling foreigners to ''lend a voice''.

Did Beyonce call her to join Black Lives Matter? Nope. Americans like to solve their internal problems without foreign interference, just like other countries whose people have a sense of self-worth.

The Nigerian govt only needed to hear the voice of the street protesters, who are Nigerians, and they've heard it, and they've disbanded SARS. What's she calling Beyonce for?

Funny how the same Igbos showing hate for Nigeria are the first to call on the FG to rescue them when they are attacked overseas, be it in Ghana, South Africa, India, China etc.

Meanwhile FG still sends aeroplanes to rescue them.

If I was Buhari I would tell them to fck off, when next they come with complaints of foreign mistreatment.

They are the ones who call the nation a 'zoo' online. Foreigners take the cue from their utterances, and treat them accordingly. Something they are too stupid and dumb to understand.

Next time they cry out for Nigerian 'intervention', Buhari should tell them zoos do not have aeroplanes.

Politics / Re: Shuting Down The Internet, The Worst Mistake The Government Could Make by Rossinky: 9:29pm On Oct 14, 2020
AlexBells:
Shuting down the internet will be useless and will trigger a big protest like #Bringback our internet. International players will fully come in.
Shuting down the internet will trigger the following.
1. Critical Economic Impact: Revenue of Internet Services providers would be at risk.

2. The Country's Banking sector will feel the impact as most transactions is done online as the pandemic progresses.

3. Shutting down the internet would be mutually restrictive and will make youth more restive.

4. Shutting down the internet does not mean the protest would stop, it just means that Nigerians in diaspora would be updating us on protest and venues via phone calls.

5. Shutting down the internet would mean that even Government bodies would also suffer.

Basically, the government idea of shutting down the internet is just like a sinking man clinging to a straw, it is a dumb move but who would blame them, it is just their limitations, if young people took part in the government in the first place they could have been briefed on how dumb that move is, even North Korea did not shut down the entire internet, unless they mean shutdown social networks at which way, we will bypass it with VPN
Buttom line, shutting down the internet is a dumb move

Grammar speaker.

They will shut it down and nothing will happen.

The same thing happened in Sudan and Chad a while back, to quell public unrest, and after everywhere quietened down, they reopened their internet. Heavens did not fall.

The govt has ended SARS as requested. Everybody go home and stop disturbing people.

Are you aware there has been an upgrade in virtually all airports nationwide?

What ''world standards'' are you looking for? Stop trying to compete with Germany and the USA. Their annual budgets are 2.1 trillion and 6.7 trillion dollars respectively, compared to your nation's annual budget of 35 billion dollars.

Your number 1 issue as a nation is economic expansion to provide greater national revenues and raise GDP. Building airports is a step in that direction. Making them all ''world class standards'' is an unnecessary prestige indulgence.

Most Nigerians of working age are not 'jobless', so kindly employ your brain before typing.

Plus, are you more ''oppressed'' than people in China?

Go there and you will see what oppression is.

Go there and try 'EndsARS' demonstrations, and see what happens.

Yet they are still building airports till tomorrow.

FAAN even said a only Lagos, ph, Abj, imo ,Kano airport is profitable... This administration likes profitless ventures

So we should only have 5 airports since only 5 are ''profitable''.

As a former student union leader and stakeholder in student struggle, am amazed in what is happening in student union activities these days, just view the official vehicle of the NANS President.

And just yesterday Danielson Bamidele Akpan, the President was impeached by the Senate arm of NANS for allegedly embezzling $200k (N76.2m)during an emergency meeting.

But some people want us to believe that our problems are caused by some particular set of People.

Today student union leaders already own houses while in school from just being student union leaders and our 'YOOTS' see and hail them. Let me repeat, anybody who truly love Nigeria will demand total REORIENTATION.

We are all guilty in the failure of the Nigerian project and we must change our ways. Yes the @PoliceNG should be reformed just like the Civil Service, Elective Offices, Education, Private Companies, Churches and even homes. Anything short of that is a total waste of time.

Buhari inaugurates Ariaria market power project

President Muhammadu Buhari said Tuesday that reliable power supply was critical to promoting ease of doing business to ensure sustainable and improved Nigerian economy.

Mr Buhari spoke while commissioning the Ariaria Market Independent Power project in Aba.

He said the provision of a dedicated power supply to small businesses in the area would strengthen the “Made in Nigeria” programme of the Federal Government of which Abia had become synonymous with.

Mr Buhari said the present administration was committed to evolving sound economic policies and programmes aimed at boosting national productivity.

He said the project was a demonstration of the Federal Government’s resolve to protect the interest of every Nigerian irrespective of party difference and constitutional limitations.

Mr Buhari said he had been informed that Ariaria International market contained 37,000 shops which would benefit from the project, adding that 4,000 shops had been connected to new power supply.

“Electricity has no political colour and I was elected to office on the convincing argument my party made about our commitment to security, developing the economy and fighting corruption.

“I am told that in the past traders in this market only got power supply for four hours a day and paid exorbitantly for it, which consequently affected the viability of many businesses.

Mr Buhari said that the Federal Government was replicating the power project in Abia in Kano, Lagos and Ibadan.

FG awards over N5bn irrigation projects in southeast
August 24, 2020



The Federal Government has awarded a contract for the construction of concrete lining on a 40 kilometer irrigation canal along the Lower Anambra Irrigation Project, in Anambra state.

It also approved 22.45km concrete lining of primary and secondary irrigation canal in Adani, Uzouwani Local Government Area of Enugu state.

Handing over the projects to the construction company, Zonal Project Cordinator, Agricultural Transformation Agenda Support Programme Phase1, South East Zone, Mr Romanus Egba said the 2 projects, with one year completion timeline would enhance rice cultivation in the region.

The N3.9billion project within Omor and Umumbo communities would guarante all year round rice farming, he said.

In Enugu state, the project is worth over N2 billion.

The Enugu State Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Mr Mathew Idu while commending the government for the step taken to revitalise the Adani rice farm settlement, expressed the hope that there would be food security in the area when the work was completed .

His Anambra State counterpart, represented by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs Stephanie Keri- Uzor said the 3850 hectares of land within Omor and Umumbo will no doubt become a beehive of rice activities after the resuscitation plan.

Abuja, Sept. 23, 2020 The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved N12 billion for the construction of the Section two of the Ohafia to Arochukwu road in Abia.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, stated this at the end of the Council meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday.
