The government should do the needfuls and stop paying lip service what to is urgently important.

They should tackle issue of terrorism, which is preventing most farmers from farming.Large shrunk of the proceeds from subsidy removal should be spent on food production

The issue of stunted growth will become something of the past automatically.

Northern Nigerians should take responsibility of the insecurity and food problem. The Northern Elite introduced Sharia Law ideology in 1999, which has led to the extreme Islamic culture across Nigeria.

dalitigator:
This was exactly what I said a few months ago. Preach PBAT's works and policies to the people. Most Nigerians have been poisoned not to like him already.They failure to sleep last night or have a proper shit this morning is because of PBAT.

Do try to convince them. Just show them that the man is doing the job even if you do not like him.

You do not have to like or love PBAT. Nobody send you that one. Is he doing the job of the President as it should be?

That is the question to be considered.

Is he repositioning the country to become a better and prosperous nation in another 10, 15, 20 years? If the answer is yes,, I do not care if go hungry today. Cos my children will eat good tomorrow.

That is what we should all be looking out for.

Building a light rail in a state that has more than 4 million children out of school is stupid. Lagos built it light railway using its resources. The federal government should complete the Ibadan to Kano SGR to support freight nd people.

Its now obvious that Tinubu is scared that he will lose in 2027.

LaIabobo:
Kano has no business running a light rail NOW. The residents cannot afford it and therefore it'll be hugely subsidised causing the government to struggle to pay off the loan.

Kano needs an SGR between Lagos and Kano, and not a light rail system that Kano cannot afford. Tinubu is only interested in re-election; he has nothing to offer Nigeria and Nigerians.

tunapawizzy:
The problem is not the 10%
The problem is the other 90%, they are docile, contented with the crumbs given to them by the 10%
Once they give them LAWMA job or give their mother and father small contract like this, they can't reason again

Well said. Begging and handouts are the name of the game for 90%. Tinubu is building a road to nowhere (Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road ) while 30 million Nigerians are suffering from hunger in Bornu.

Ibehchizzy:
110million of the over 130million Nigerians that are poor supports apc

Less than 29 million Nigerian votes were counted. The majority of Nigerians are too ignorant to vote. So their votes are counted for them. You can't have democracy in a country where the majority are illiterate.

SalamRushdie:
I got an A in English you probably didn't so keep quiet , I know what my comment was about , it's no secret 3rd mainland bridge repairs or maintenance is a corruption laden pipeline z they shut the bridge to traffic , take money from FG account to maintain it and dont actually do anything most times ..Fashola closed that bridge for 6 months and did t fix a single pothole on it when asked he said it was structural repairs

The third mainland bridge has structural problems due to a 20-year lack of annual maintenance by both the military and civilian government. When Fashaloa shut down the bridge for 6 months, he was conducting structural work/maintenance and not road maintenance.

You are justified in being suspicious about the government using these maintenance programs to steal funds. This is a common problem in the UK, where road work that should take 3 days would take 3 weeks. This is where the NASS should step in, but they are only interested in padding the budget.

ednut1:
A lot of Nigerian men have no game. And are used to using money and force. Till they get abroad and get caught

When all the women in Nigeria are either selling sex or don't know their rights.

In the West, no means no.

A student who has a car and is chasing women is a waste of time. I studied in Nigeria and the UK and never owned a vehicle, even when I could afford it.

He will soon be a governor, senator or even a president in Nigeria.

fineboynl:
Mtn is own by whites. Same thing with Airtel by Indians. Any tech controlled by Nigerians hardly even works in this country.

9mobile own by banks and some politicians.

The original 9Mobile was owned by a Black Zimbabwean and called Econet, who was pushed out by Nigerian bankers and then sold to the UAE Etisalat until they got fed up with the Nigerian FX exchange program under Buhari and pulled out, opening the door to Isa Funtua to take over the operator and then rename it as 9mobiles until his death and transfer to his incompetent son Abubakar Funtua.

Abubakar Funtua is the reason why 9mobile has fallen from grace, he spent the company's profit on buying private jets and living like a billionaire instead of improving the mobile operator.



Abubakar Funtua, son of the late business mogul Isa Funtua.

kingsavage:
Na lugard cause this rubbish.
If not, wetin for concern me and this anim@ls?

What has this got to do with Lugard?

These people have been involved in the Asian drug business for years; they have only been captured by the Asian authorities.

The SE must take responsibility for its community and assist the FG in cracking down on these criminal groups that use the import industry to launder drug exports.

$25 million loan will soon become $1 billion when the government stop paying the interest.

A serious government will cut the size of government, stop building useless projects such as refurbishing the airport or the Lagos-Calabar coastal road.

The Federal Government has secured a $25.35 million concessionary loan from the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development to support a major initiative aimed at reducing the number of out-of-school children in Kaduna State.

ispreloaded:
they don't think b4 they comment....under buhari closing tenure after the re-design of the naira,,..naira to USD was almost 3k to 1usd.. he's comparin a stat he doesn't even know...under buhari the naira trended at 1900 to 2.3k almost 3k...

It is shocking how Nigerians think. Buhari has a mortgage on fuel export until 2031. Borrowed $47 billion and printed N27 billion with no incoming revenue and high demand for imported goods and services. The country will have a weak currency that is chasing the dollar.

My issues with the Tinubu government are the unnecessary projects, such as the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, and the failure to tackle the electricity and regional restructuring.

Eleph:
The statistics are there for all to see. Even the first Lady doesn't give in millions of Naira again but in billions of Naira. The former president brought CHANGE, what manner of change, CHANGE for the worse going by the results we got hence the APC slogan was quickly replaced with PROGRESS. The present President said he's bringing us Renewed Hope, hope for what? The results on ground indicates nothing but pains, sorrow, deaths, hunger and hopelessness.
Under Tinubu, the Naira is at its worst form ever @ ₦1,580 to the US Dollars $ truly making him the worst President ever to rule Nigeria 🇳🇬 though, he doesn't believe in statistics, but totally on fallacies.

Nigeria produces nothing, yet you want the Naira to be 1:1 to the dollar

ClearFlair:
See some people up there talking about increasing the cost of governance by adding more people at a time like this when goverment should be cutting costs. Serious people don't support APC. At least on Nairaland, that is fact

A country with 48 ministers, 5000 MDA and generating 5000 megawatts for 230 million people is wasting it time.

chatinent:
It will be for only the Muslims so I'm not bothered.

You should be bothered, because once the Sharia court is established, it will impact all our lives. Just look at the impact of Sharia law in Northern Nigeria.

shortgun:
The woman Abike has shown herself to be a tribal bigot and lacks the discretion expected of a public official. As a representative of the government, there are certain things you simply must not say. You do not single out an entire ethnic group when addressing crime especially in foreign countries.

What she has done is incite hate, ridicule and potential attacks against the Igbo people living there including innocent ones. But it seems they must always find a way to please their master, the chief bigot in Aso Rock whose wife was once caught on video shamelessly expressing prejudice against Igbos.

If Igbos happen to make up 100% of Nigerians residing in a particular foreign country, wouldn't it be logical that any crime statistics involving Nigerians there would reflect that demographic?

Let’s not forget had the Nigerian government not systematically denied Igbo youths opportunities at home, they wouldn't be forced to seek greener pastures abroad where, a few of them end up committing crimes out of desperation.

You're full of crap, constantly dropping the tribal bigot stuff. The fact that drug export is tied to the Igbos' stock and they are not even good at it, always getting caught, hence it is evident that a cartel is targeting vulnerable Igbos to export illegal drugs.

We need to target crime specific tribal cartels, whether it's Yorubas linked to ritual killing, Igbos with drugs and human trafficking, Bini with prostitution, Fulani with terrorism and Islamic militants.

Kewtt:
is this not xenophobic from the highly esteemed ...

No, it is not. You can only fix the problem if you tackle the primary source. If the source of drug dealing in South West Asia is from one state, the governor and the federal government can tackle the problem directly.

Some cartels are targeting the state and vulnerable people as mules to export drugs.

Tinubu's policy to enhance good policy to remove fuel subsidies, FX Control and implement new tax policies has been destroyed by his policy of corrupt investment, such as the Lagos-Calabar coastal road, holding onto the Refineries and Ajaokuta when they should be sold and a bloated government.

Why waste N500 billion on an airport at the expense of completing the development of the road mentioned above?

budaatum:
Looks like Devakumar is a builder, and not a manager. Different skills set.

Sad though, that Dangote could not find a Nigerian.

If you want to get something done, don't employ Nigeria as your manager. Just look at NNPC, Ajaokuta Steel. I will suggest that all ministries should consider hiring foreign staff.


Congrat Dangote

Datti is a hypocrite.


First, Nigerian leaders, with all their failures, sent their children to the universities that they built. I went to the same classes that OBJ's daughter, Awolowo's grandson, went to at the old Ogun State University.

AI depends on data centres and electricity, hence there will be new jobs for HVAC, Air Conditioning engineers, Electrical engineers, plumbers, and welders to build the infrastructure that supports AI.

Northern Nigeria is a complete liability. Eight years of Buhari, an ex-military general, and yet insecurity has increased between 2015 and 2023. Tinubu is not in government to fix Nigeria but to enrich himself

UrPapa:
There’s no way SE won’t be low in contrast to SW
There’s a lot of movement away from SE especially to the SW or SS
I don’t know if it’s political or not but it’s real
A big chunk of the Igbo youth are base in SW or SS and still moving
There’s a big wave of people moving away from the east

Stop complaining, all the Igbos are now in the SW.

Omoapena:
what they all ought to have done many years ago is what they are now doing now, I see refinery as bad investment with the invention of EV and solar system

The graphite used in EV batteries comes from Oil Refineries. Oil Refineries are also petrochemical plants; there is a reason why India and S Korea are major chemical-producing countries.

Let them invest in Refineries, and the investors who want to build EV and Solar plants do their investment

cosse:
She condemned the blanket stereotyping of Nigerians in Ghana, adding that while a few individuals(IBOS) may be guilty of illegal acts, the majority are peaceful residents, contributing positively to Ghana’s economy and society.

This is an unacceptable behaviour. You can stereotype an entire ethnic group for the crime of a few people.

DeepSight:
How would this system work in a Nigeria without social services and where most people do everything for themselves?
Do you think migrants to Lagos are coming to collect any social services here? I dont think so.

So why are migrants going to Lagos? You tell me

lexy2014:
since the you say north koreans are not breeding like rabbits, how come 60% of them are living in poverty?

how many north koreans can afford to go to this resort?

how is "The excuse that Lagos was the former capital 35 years ago, hence it must welcome the entire country and the country's problems, one of the reasons Nigeria has failed as a country"?

North Korea has been under extreme sanction for the best part of 70 years , yet the country has a 100 literacy , can build its own satalite and delivery system and build work class tourist resort.

Nigeria has the 11th largest oil reserve in the world and the 7th largest gas reserve in the world, yet the country is now the 20th poorest country in the world

What would you recommend. Visas to visit Lagos?

Critical thinking is one of the biggest downfalls of African people; we never solve problems until it's too late. We will continue with the uncontrolled internal migration until it's too late, and then resort to ethnic violence because we refuse to implement policies that will control internal migration.


The Chinese use the Hokou system to manage internal migration; you can't just travel to a state or city and arrange your accommodation, or state your purpose of travel. This is the reason why China, with 1.5 billion, don't have ghetto or illegal settlements and all the insecurity and upheaval that come with uncontrolled internal migration.

The Chinese internal migration system, primarily known as the hukou system, regulates and controls the movement of people within China. Established in 1958, it links citizens' rights and access to social services to their registered place of birth, making it difficult for migrants to obtain local hukou in new locations. This system has significantly impacted the lives of millions of internal migrants, particularly those moving from rural to urban areas, by limiting their access to education, healthcare, and other essential services.

Tinubumustgo:
Lagos state is the dirtiest and the most glorified slum in Nigeria

What do you expect from a city design for 1 million people, now housing 23 million?



One of the reasons why China doesn't have the number of unplanned ghettos or illegal settlements that are prevalent across Lagos and many of the large cities is because they have an internal migration control system called Hukou. In China, you can just migrate to a province or town

adamkkk:
even North Korea, an isolated non oil country is still better than Nigeria

North Koreans are not breeding like rabbits. The country has population control. In Nigeria, that resort would become an IDP camp within a week. Just look at the uncontrolled internal immigration to Lagos, which is now full of ghetto's and illegal settlements.

The excuse that Lagos was the former capital 35 years ago, hence it must welcome the entire country and the country's problems, is one of the reasons Nigeria has failed as a country. Tinapa, which was built in Cross River State, is now a relic despite having better facilities than the North Korean resort(world-class convention centre and rainforest)

iwaeda:
All I know is that Nigeria is in serious debt, forget the propaganda they tell you how things are now working.

Correct,

This isn't about politics, but the future of the Nation. The country's debt is unsustainable anis being d is being wasted on imports and paying salaries.
