Mrfixitt:
Tribalism and religion have finished Nigeria

There is nothing wrong with Tribalism, if the Tribe develop their own regions

onuman:
Master of quota system which eventually dragged his north more backwards.

Quota system is EVIL. God rejects it. Punishment for those who relish it.

We had a lot of Fulanis in UI that felt very entitled.

aribisala0:
If you are looking for reasons why Nigeria is the way it is

He is one of them

An evil man who wasted millions on nomadic education while he was the Minister of Education. He will not be missed.

Mrfixitt:
Tinubu is a failure. He has nothing to offer

Tinubu might be a failure, but the biggest failure is Northern Nigeria. When the SW was creating Amotekun, where was the North? The North is suppose to be the breadbasket of the country yet they cannot grow food to feed themselves.

If Tinubu can restructure Nigeria into six regions, then I don't care who is the next president.

miketayo:
Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa look better, but not Tanzania. But then again, looking better does not mean it is better.
That aside, as a whole, Nigeria does not look better than India. The only thing we have over them is better personal hygiene, entertainment, and swag

My friend Indians are trooping To Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe because those countries are far better than India, in terms of standard of living.


The problem with India is similar to the one faced by Nigeria: overpopulation, religious intolerance, diversity, terrible politicians, and corruption. India's large GDP is an illusion, just like Nigeria's so-called GDP of $570 billion in 2014, when the country had over 100 million people in poverty and generated less than 5,000 MW of electricity.

miketayo:
Have you been to those. African countries or India. South Africa debatable yes, but the rest not even close

I have been to Tanzania, Namibia , Botswana, South Africa, and India. Some of those countries look better than European countries, let alone India

stanluiz:
India is such a dirty country. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh no be am at all.

Some African country are better than India.

Many African countries are better than India including Ghana, Ivory Coast , Kenya and all South African countries are far better than India

nairalandadeux:
And then they want to add 150 euro for Osimhen? OK. o. Plus they need strikers and midfielders...that costs money too.

It will take four transfer windows to fix Manu. This is just the second transfer window. Brono is currently earning £350k, Oshimen is a killer in front of goals, pay him well, and he will score

Angelfrost:
Offload players and sign only a striker?!! What happens to other departments in the field?!!

Will Osimhen solve all their problems alone?!!

Cunha is versatile from midfield to attack, and can help out Bruno... Bryan will literally team up with any serious attacking player to make their front line deadly.

If they get very fit defensive player like Licha, they are good to go.

Transfer business is about wisdom, especially for a club that didn't make European competitions.

It will take four transfer windows to fix Manu. This is just the second transfer window

bitsAndpieces:
Nigerian politicians at work again. Forming terrorist organisations and killing innocent Nigerians for political gains!!

Politicians are behind these terror groups; we rarely witness terrorism during the military government

nairalandadeux:
It is, but the thing is, Barca and Man U are in financial straits.

Man U's owner is even doing severe cost cutting measures. And they failed to qualify for any European club competition next season, that's millions of euro gone in an instant. I don't even think that Ratcliffe is planning to sign any new players...he probably would sell sell sell...even sell Casemiro, and use the money to get cheaper but good players. Not Osimhen level players.

So, if he buys Osimhen....the palaver would be why be spending big money when the club does not have enough money right now for such signings.? (Especially since he sacked many workers at Old Trafford as part of the cost savings?)

Barca too has not been in fine health since Messi left....at one point they were screaming they had no money. That is why one of their big strikers is Lamine Yamal...who was promoted from the youth ranks.

Manu has just bought Cunha for £62.5 million and is about to offer Brentford up to £60 million for Mbeumo. They can easily afford Oshimen if they offload all their dead weight players

HealthDiary:
Is Osimhen worth this amount tho?

Rasford and Bruno are both earning £350k per week

keymatt:
Another WORLD RECORD for Tifnubu. From the Happiest and the Fastest developing country in the world under GEJ to the most INSECURE AND DANGEROUS country to be born in.
Indeed what APC cannot destroy in Nigeria does not exist.

This has nothing to do with the president. The issue lies with the Sub-national entities that have failed to provide basic education and healthcare to their people.

No one is holding the Niger State governor to account. His failure to implement water management infrastructure is appalling.

AfonjaPriest:
The white-haired professor of lamba literature will not say anything because his kinsman is the one destroying the nation.

The Nation was already destroyed in 1960

Hezzyluv:
We've never got it this bad.

This is just the beginning. When Northerners were introducing Sharia law, what did they expect to happen

Image123:
While Sri Lanka has historically been noted for having a large number of ministries, such as the 107 ministries during President Mahinda Rajapaksa's tenure in 2010, other countries have also had substantial cabinet sizes. For example, Pakistan's coalition government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formed a cabinet comprising 76 members, including state ministers, advisors, and special assistants. South Africa's cabinet expanded to include 32 ministers and 43 deputy ministers, totaling 77 members. Therefore, while Nigeria has a significant number of ministries, it is not accurate to state that only Sri Lanka has more; other nations also have comparable or larger cabinet structures.

A simple online search. Stay with facts. Give a simple answer, how much?

The Nigerian government has a budget of under $60 billion for 220 million people. South Africa has only 32 ministries, and Sri Lanka and Pakistan are both failed states that buttress my point that Nigeria's bloated government is one of the reasons why the country is broke.

Fatalism:the belief that all events are predetermined and therefore inevitable.

Religion or Fatalism is the root cause of Nigeria's problem.

Image123:
How much?

Large government also equates to corruption—the padding of the budget with 11,000 new projects—$4 billion wasted on rehabilitating refineries that don't work.

Nigeria needs only 24 ministries and the MDA can be reduced to 500

Oronsaye Report on MDA : https://leadership.ng/oronsaye-report-4-months-after-fg-footdrags-on-merger-of-mdas/

Image123:
Easy to say than do. Who should we sack and how many so that we can save cost. How much is needed and how much is the alleged padding? Have you bothered to check?

Only Sri Lanka had more ministries than Nigeria (49), and the economy collapsed; the IMF was invited to support the country's economy with the introduction of austerity measures.


Nigeria has bloated ministries and departments that no country can afford, a government that it cannot sustain.

Image123:
How? You don't want debt but you want progress and infrastructure. Is it magic?
You want 700km finished in 6months but no borrowing. Just inshaallah and cruise? Unserious people. BTW, it's a plan, not yet approved or borrowed. They've hardly borrowed $2billion in a year not to mention 20.

The government can raise fund by cutting the cost of governance.

Cut the padding in the budget, cut and reduce the ministries, cut the number of MDA from 5000 to 300

Are the sure they are non-Nigerians?

Benue State should establish its militia and fight back, rather than relying on Tinubu and the Nigerian army.

While calling on President Bola Tinubu and the state governor, Rev Fr. Hyacinth Alia, to declare war on the armed herders, stating that the state governor had already identified the killers as non-Nigerians.

aestake:
With which power? Small water plant my bro established, to get the facility under solar, he is looking at N30M...diesel to the 'rescue' ....

Innovate, use wind, solar and the cheap labour across the country, stop finding excuses for failure. Local and State governments are now responsible for electricity generation.

Ttalk:
You just want to justify container economy you practice in your region.

Your Obi supermarket depends on importation of junks into the country and you want naira to appreciate.

Are you expecting a fiat pronouncement that will make naira appreciate overnight?

Let your charity begin at home and first tell your Obi to embark on building a business that will produce products that Nigeria can buy and export, stop blaming the president for the problem caused majorly by your brothers

Well stated, they have turned Nigeria into a consumer economy importing everything that moves. Brazil is a major Wheat producer because it developed a strain of Wheat that can grow in the tropics. Rice and palm oil originated from West Africa, yet these people want the country to waste limited resources on importation.

mrvitalis:
Let me start by saying this... If you are not grounded in economics please read and pass

There has been this sentiment in Nigeria that import is what's killing Nigerian economy.. Lmaooo uts funny

Let me start by saying this importation has never harmed any economy, lack of export is what kills an economy

If you refuse to import what you can produce cheaper than imported once you are reducing the living standard of your people by reducing their purchasing power

As a nation because you can produce something doesn't mean you should... Say the locally made A cost ₦100 and imported once cost ₦20 by all means allow import

Some import duty we have is exactly what is killing Nigeria

Why should there be import duty on wheat? Can we ever produce wheat effectively? Never

Why us their import duty on stock fish? Can it grow here?

Why is their import duty on turkey? Do we have a turkey industry?

Don't get me wrong I understand import duty on rice, we have the land and climate and labour to compete

But import duty on steel? Lmaooo England just closed its last steel company because it was running at a loss... Ajokuta can never work or produce steel cheaper or even 150% price of imported steel... The iron concentration is too low 33% minimum requirements is 68% ... So we would need to enrich it which would increase cost

Import duty on steel have killed many industry from going global because their steel price put them at a disadvantage...

We want auto industry but we have import duty on steel and aluminum? Funny people

Why is their import duty on fabrics? We can never compete in the fabrics industry our cottons are too expensive and production is too poor... Import duty on fabrics is preventing Aba from competitng with turkey🇹🇷 and Bangladesh

Ok you want to protect fabrics industry but you won't allow cotton import? Funny people

To put it plainly To export as a nation you must import especially if you want to export finished goods and not raw materials

There is a reason the biggest export nations are also biggest import nations

We need economic policy change as a nation

Well what do I know

Why should a country import stockfish when it is broke? Nigeria has cotton but imports second-hand clothes. Importation and exportation are problems.

Agbegbaorogboye:
They need to pump more dollars to the parallel market to defend the naira
The dual exchange rate still exists and the gulf is getting wider
It's time to open the reserves once again

The country needs to start producing and exporting

Nasir El-Rufai at the 60th birthday celebration of HE Rotimi Amaechi

El Rufai support Buhari and then Tinubu. The number one urban bandit is El. Rufai, I fear for anyone who associates with this evil man.

Hemanwel:
This is a natural disaster. It is not caused by APC, PDP, LP, Bola Tinubu, Peter Obi, Atiku, or El-Rufai.

Roger that!

It is not a natural disaster caused by the failure of Nigeria's political elites to build water management systems, such as storm dams, drainage systems

BabaAgba79:
Look at this one? What do you know? Adesina's policies will be far worse (better) than Tinubu's! You think subsidy is the right way to grow a country? A country can only thrive if they have one language (not colonial), similar culture, religious tolerance, and same tribe! All these factors will contribute to the growth of a country! Tinubu's policies may seem bad but they are very good. How can a section of the country be thriving upon the success of the other one? You rely on the taxes paid by one section to develop the other! Haba! Many people on this App dont think?

Tinubu is a disaster, corruption is rampant across the country, and a bloated civil service with 48 ministries and 5000 MDAs is a recipe for disaster. Removing subsidies only works if the government cuts the cost of government services
