You attache by force biafrans and your grandiose delusion. Tinubu won NC in the last election. Not the entire NC. Rather about half of it. Point is simply, if you split your Muslim vote again, you will discover that the Christian vote is now unified across the regions I mentioned including parts of the South West. |

Reno need to understand the Hausa side talk in the villa .
Let him keep encouraging tribalism at the villa through those around him.. and believe others are born fools. .. like the goat Reno So the last 8 years plus the years of undermining GEJ are not enough? You still want to control the villa?? How mean hearted can you be while claiming one Nigeria?? Since being in the villa is now a prize to be shared let others have their turn. Besides, SE + SS + NC is now a unified block. The slightest miscalculation you make, you will see that all of you, both south west and north west will find yourselves far out of that villa. |

Eriokanmi: This really calls for a great concern. Today...i mean just a few minutes ago, I opened one of the apps used in transacting in foreign currencies and what I saw with 1USD to CFA shocked me. This is the currency held in the brands of the so called mushrooms counties in Africa..
They import more goods than we do and export less.
Many of them don't even have crude oil.
If you talk, their supporters wouid mob you and say, Francophone countries are being controlled by France, as if the west isn't controlling our currency indirectly too. When they told tinubu to devalue naira and increase fuel price to 500 naira and above, Mr Lagos magician and wondeman heeded their instructions without looking back and considering the consequences. He unleashed hardship on the masses. What has the currency floatation achieved so far? I leave everyone to answer that. During global recession, Nigeria didn't experience it. But the west wasn't happy. Now, they've gotten us, under tinubu by manipulating our economy.
Whereas, Angola, a country rich in crude ended subsidy too but only removed it gradually and kept the rest, so their people won't feel the pain, unlike tinubu who removed everything completely. Even if Buhari didn't include it in the budget, is he still in power now? Sadly, subsidy is back and the same western world who cajoled him are now warning him of possible economic doom...that's how a callous leader behaves, someone who doesn't care for his people but prefers to enrich a group of elites at the expense of the masses. I travelled to Benin in 2026 and exchange 1000 naira for about 10,000 cefa. Now, naira is worthless, compared to cefa.
The problem isn't the amount of imports we do, as they blindly posit on order to deceive the gullible. The problem is corruption and mismanagement of funds.
Here in Lagos, a km of road will be constructed with 3 times the contract price. They'd share the rest and be hailing the government. Only ambode used the state's funds judiciously and he was punished for doing so because he blocked the loopholes. Years to come, we won't stop talking about this great man.
There are counties in the west who don't even export much but import almost everything yet, they are among the developed countries globally. I feel ashamed reading this news as a Nigerian. You may have valid points but this is not one of them. You are asking what a long-term economic policy has achieved in the short term. doesn't work like that. The essence of some of these policies is to encourage investment - investors are not going to simply jump into your country the next day. It's a process. |

FreeStuffsNG: Only one of Nigeria’s 36 states was represented at the 2023 Africa Investment Forum in Marrakech, Morocco. No prizes for guessing the state whose governor was at the event courting private capital for mega projects from a Hollywood-type film city to an ambitious airport that will serve the entire West Africa.
That only Lagos State, the richest of the lot and least dependent on federal handouts, was the only one that had projects that needed financing from the thousands of global investors that converged at Africa’s premier investment platform is rather shameful.
Excellent legacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and current President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless Asiwaju Tinubu.
This is a wake up call to all the other State Governors to be more disciplined fiscally and address the lack of sustained human and infrastructural investment in their states in order to attract investments. Bayelsa state can literally buy Adamawa and should by far be more prosperous. Unfortunately, there's no difference between Bayelsa state and Adamawa. Smh.
[b]Btw,Benue tried with capital importation [/b]despite all the herdsmen this, herdsmen that report we got inundated with during HE Ortom's tenure. I hope this capital reflected in the state.
Fundamentally, this report reiterates that Lagos state remains the undisputed No 1 investment destination in Nigeria and Africa.
Invest in Lagos today and the neighbouring Yoruba South West states to enjoy great returns on investment and the best investor friendly experience. God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs! What you attached shows that Benue is among the states that are nearly totally dependant on the FG - how did they try in capital importation?? |

Kukutente23: There's something about these corny souls 🌽 It's how they are at home with their barefaced group hypocrisy.
Prof Soyinka was well and alive when Buhari was on seat and sending the bird to the gulag. He never uttered a word. The man is out of office in less than six months and you've suddenly found your voice to call him names.
We see this disgusting behaviour among the Zombies who chanted darling daddy and sai baba for 8 years only to repudiate the man like they've never known him once he left office.
This character makes me realise Zombies are not to be taken seriously when it comes to nation building.
What I'm still curious about presently is what exactly drives them? I'm really interested in knowing where they derive their energy and what principles(if any) drives their group interest. So you are saying Soyinka never criticised Buhari while he was in office? Read your last paragraph to yourself and ask yourself what your own motivation is for telling such a terrible and transparent lie. A simple google search can reveal the truth of Soyinka's consistent stance on Buhari. But you're more interested in driving agendas. Why? What's your motivation? |

chiagozien: Still didn't change the fact that Yorubas haunted and attack Igbos in Yoruba land during last election.
Reason is because most yorubas supported that Evil act, here we saw yorubas Hailing the attackers, saying so many things against Igbos like,go back to your region,we must teach you people a lesson, etc.
Even when your Oba of Lagos threatened to throw Igbos into lagoon if they don't vote for a particular candidate.
We saw yorubas hailed and applauded him.
The truth is you Yorubas can take what you dish out to others. So most Yorubas supported such acts yet Peter Obi won in Lagos. How is that possible? Truth is you are dealing with your own hatred of Yorubas and you need a good reason to justify it so it is convenient to exagerrate all that happened. Stop it! You are not different from those Yorubas who support such acts. And I am not Yoruba for your info. |

We're not dumb okay.
Below is your Fellow Yoruba experienced because they thought she's Igbo.
Imagine what happened to real Igbos. Igbos were unfairly treated in a few parts of Lagos. No doubt. But to exaggerate it to the extent of hunting and killing is a most wicked lie. Such never happened. Moreover, are you saying that this happened all over Yorubaland? Where are the reports from Oyo? Ekiti? Osun? Ogun? Isn't it quite wicked of you to attempt to instigate a whole tribal war over pockets of petty violence in a few parts of Lagos? Are you saying there was no electoral violence in the East?

I don't really see trading in Lagos as a profitable business. Your last line is shocking. No experienced trader will listen to you because you clearly don't understand the dynamics of the relationship between commrce and population. What the east should be looking into is how to manufacture and send to Lagos instead of importing. Some smart persons in Aba and other places are already doing that! You don't need a new Alaba. You need a better and more capable Aba to supply Alaba. That's how all of us will grow together! |

If you attended university I'm afraid you just wasted your parents money because all the time and money you spent at school was pure waste. Your reasoning is at the level of an illiterate or someone who stopped at primary school.
To you doing business is synonymous with just selling pants and stuffs like that?
Did you just say doctors, lawyers and engineers have no business doing business? Are you for real?
So according to your reasoning a qualified medical doctor who establish an hospital is not doing business?
What of a lawyer who establish a law firm or an engineer who establish an engineering firm? Are you telling us this people are not doing business? Wow! You need to refund all the money your parents wasted sending you to school and apologise to them seriously.  Are you normal? What I said up there implies that a professional should practice in the area of their specialization which could be as an entrepreneur of course, but should not deviate into commerce in general. That is in the context of whether it is best for the State to offer them jobs or funding to do business instead, as the person I replied suggested. Now going back to the context, are you suggesting fresh graduates should be given money to start hospitals and law firms? You have displayed the processing capacity of a toddler. |

I feel government jobs, especially at the state level, are meant to create lazy people, as most of them do next to nothing in those offices. Why push a first class graduate into that sort of place? I prefer they are challenged to create a business plan and then empowered to do business and contribute to the economy. The skills required to emerge as a first class student have nothing to do with business. First class students belong in the professional world not in the business world selling pant for example. We are talking doctors, lqwyers engineers, research scientists. They have no business doing business. |
