how did osinbajo fail?

will Atiku being president not have been better than tinubu being president?

He was Buhari VP now that is some failure

In the age of AI, Quantum computing, and EV, Fulani herders are still herd cattle all over Africa. Tinubu and NASS must complete the bill for state police so that states and regions can protect themselves from this backwardness.

The begging on the Nairaland is getting out of hand.

We are not your government; if you need help, get your family members to protest when there are protest movements, to vote and fight for their vote to be counted.

Stop begging me because even if I have the funds, I will not give it to you.

DeLaRue:
A man that has been in power for just 18 months cannot magically solve all the issues bedevelling an old, failing 50 year old grid.

Under Mr Obasanjo, $12 billion was 'spent' on power, yet no tangible result.

Under Mr Jonathan, Nigeria made the most money since gaining independence. The man and his PDP people squandered and stole everything, including Mrs Deziani who ran away with over $2 billion. Next to nothing was invested in the grid.

So what magic can the current President perform.

States generating their own power may not solve the issues surrounding the national grid immediately, but over time with States like Lagos, Rivers, and other rich states generating and distributing their own power, the pressure on the national grid will start reducing.

8 years of Buhari, two recessions. $41 billion external debt, NNPC stopped remitting funds to CBN, Oil export fell to under 1 million B/D and ways and means hit N33 million. Nigeria's exchange rate hit $1 to 800

Tinubu gave Nigeria Buhari hence he can't complain

forgiveness:
What does this mean? Constant power and economic prosperity.

It means when you don't have light(Electricity),, blame your governor, not the president. Next, the police will be state control, so next time there is insecurity, blame your elected governor.

A federal republic should behave like a federal republic.

Tinubu should scrap NNPC and reform and reduce his government and recurring expenditures. Nigeria wasted 8 years under Buhari leaving the country with unsustainable debt. Tinubu's economic reforms in removing fuel subsidies, floating the Naira, Local government empowerment, and Tax reform are a step in the right direction, but the economic reforms will fail with infrastructure development (Electricity) , political reform and a cut in recurring expenditure.

Reasons given by the companies include high energy costs, currency depreciation, insecurity, policy inconsistency and falling purchasing power. It may not be surprising that foreign investors are showing apathy. Nigeria’s business environment is often characterised by uncertainty, corruption and regulatory challenges, deterring foreign investors, according to experts.

Guy's cyber hacking is real.

This is the activity on my Outlook account. Hackers around the world are working overtime. fortunately I have MFA, password protection and many security layers to protect my data.

khalling2008:
Those who are shouting on social media don't know that the Sharia panel has been practiced in Yoruba land. Go to Ojo-oba in Ibadan, go to Lagos, and go to other states. The Oyo community will inaugurate their shariah whether they shout from today till kingdom come, nobody will stop the sharia in Yoruba land.
You are free to practice your traditional religion, Christianity in Yoruba land, but to shout that Muslims will not practice sharia law in Yoruba land, that's in your dream, by the time you wake up from your dream, you will realize that your dream is deceiving you in reality

Don't run to Lagos when the Islamists start chasing around town. We had enough of the Hausa and Fulani beggars

greatiyk4u:
I sold my two cars and now I can't even pay my house rent and the landlord has equally increased the rent to 500k/anum

Tinubu is an evil fashioned against honest hardworking Nigerians

You have two cars, why sell them when you can use them in the transport business.

You want Tinubu to continue paying $10-20 billion annually to support fuel subsidies


Nigeria's NNPC spent $10 billion on fuel subsidy in 2022

[quote author=NLCreator post=133492613][/quote]Nigerians just like begging with no shame; if he had that many cars, why not go into the transport business?

KolaAdeniran:
Not a fan of Tinubu but El midget should shut up. No one heard him speak when Buhari built a road from Nigeria to Niger republic. Same Niger republic that is ridiculing Nigeria today. I hate people who speaks just because they are not in the dining table.

Ever since El-Rufai left the governorship in Kaduna state, the killings have reduced. El Rufai is a murderer and monster, although he is right to bring up the subject of federal funds being invested in Lagos state.

josmart:
How fertile is the land you want to use for the cocoa farming.
My advise is that you can travel out and still be running the cocoa farm.

He should stay in Nigeria and build his farm. He can easily find investors abroad if he is honest and disciplined.

cletz991:
How can I get cocoa to plant ?

IITA in Ibadan

Ojey1234:
Good morning house, I need your advice, traveling out to a Schengen country or going into a cocoa farming, which is the best,

Please I need advice

Cocoa is more expensive than gold.

Cocoa and Palm Oil is the new gold. if you have land and are involved in farming, contact me. I am interested in investing.

Take the Caribbean, for example. The Dominican Republic made $10 billion last year from tourism alone—no oil, no natural gas, just sun, sand, and hospitality. Tourism contributed over 12% of their GDP, showing that a country can literally live off its ability to host, entertain, and delight visitors.

The Dominican Republic is the sex capital of the Caribbean; everything is for sale, including sex with children. Nigeria needs to be careful about how they manage the tourist industry. $10 billion is not worth the destruction of the social fabric of a country. Industrialisation is the best way forward

Nazgul:
I saw where she added income tax to the list of her debt profile. Is it possible for a person to be charged for income tax even when it's obvious that you're yet to secure a job?

I keep telling people that the UK is overcrowded. I know dozens of people who rushed there and are currently doing their second masters because they couldn't secure a job.

Nigerian land area is bigger than the UK. And the UK has people from all over the world trooping there for greener pastures. You can imagine how crammed up it's going to be.

I think she worked as a Locum (Self-employed contractor) before she became unemployed. The tax in the UK is killing me, I spend the Xmas holiday doing my tax and VAT

adioolayi:
It takes Dangote refinery to work to reset the thinking process of oil dealers.

Even Nigeria's refinery that seems to have been cursed never to function again.. suddenly started working..

Na wa o

The decision to stop fuel subsidies was the beginning of wisdom. Oil subsidy should have ended in 2012, instead Buhari continued with the criminal enterprise adding $100 billion in debt to the country

nedekid:
The amazing thing is that fgn that cannot run a national airline is now the one that is regulating privately owned functional airlines. A failure regulating a success, no be juju be dat?
Now concerning oyema, what is the problem of air peace in particular? You cannot book a flight with them and meet your appointment, impossible! The tell you 8.15 am flight, that flight will leave by 12. Several times I have had to beg hotels for extra time to checkout as one will receive message from air peace for 4 hrs delay.
They have smooth flight ohh, but them swear for them with "delayed" everything, I hear refunds too.

Dummy.

The FGN should not be running airlines, refineries, steel plants, etc. Their job should be setting standards and regulations to protect consumer interests.

The telecom industry took off in 2003 because NITEL was taking off the game, and the industry was deregulated, just as it is happening in the refinery industry today.

Sheuns:
What we’re experiencing isn’t reform but deformation.

When Jonathan removed the fuel subsidy in 2012, the economy was still good.

Jonathan didn't remove fuel subsidies in 2012.


GEJ opened a national debate to discuss the pros and cons of removing oil subsidies and then tried to remove the subsidies. Still, Buhari, Tinubu, EL Rufai and other APC members led a successful national protest, forcing GEJ to backtrack.

GEJ was weak; he lacked conviction and leadership skills, and he backed his advisers (Iwealla and Co). Nigeria would not be in this mess today. Buhari continued with the subsidies, wasting $20 billion a year and leaving the country with $47 billion in external debt, N33 Trillion Ways and Means and mortgaging 1 million barrels of oil a day for 10 years.

If you don't like Tinubu policy go and protest.

The confession by a former governor of Ekiti State, Dr, Kayode Fayemi, that the protest launched against the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was mere politics has revealed how dirty and selfish politics is played in Nigeria.

On January 1, 2012, the then President Jonathan announced the removal of fuel subsidy, therefore, adjusting the pump price of petrol from N65 per litre to N141.

But the announcement sparked mass protests, known as ‘Occupy Nigeria’ across major cities of the country.

The price was later adjusted to N97 after a week of protests. It was further reduced to N87 in 2015.

Jonathan faced serious backlash from the adjustment in fuel price, especially from leaders of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), who are now in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Other parties that antagonised Jonathan’s administration included the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Sheuns:
Has kidnapping stopped?
Have killings stopped?
Are people not still afraid to travel?
Tinubu has rendered millions poorer in less than 2 years than Buhari did in 8 years.
Inflation is at an incredibly high.

Buhari was terrible, yes but his regime has proven to be way better than your master Tinubu’s.

Reforms are painful. Should the country continue subsidizing the currency and fuel imports for $40 billion?

If a state governor requires federal allocation and national tax returns to pay salaries and fix roads in his state, then he has no business being a governor. When do we stop subsidising poverty?

“It is not a good policy for northern Nigeria because we are not going to get money to pay you salaries, to do roads. They must listen, otherwise, they are calling for anarchy. And that is not good.

9jvirgin:
The worst president in history is Tinubu. Very pure evil minded person with senseless economic plans. The people of Nigeria are dying of hunger, starvation and insecurity. Only God can help us at this point.

Why waste time, resources and energy to go during the day when the sun is very hot, WHEN THEY CAN JUST GO AT NIGHT, when the sun has calmed down

Sense no go kill us o

That waste of time and resources space technology gave the ignorant black man

Space technology has led to many innovations that have changed the world, including:
Consumer products
Many products we use today, such as cordless vacuums, LED lighting, and memory foam, have their origins in space technology research.
Laptop computers
The Shuttle Portable Onboard Computer (SPOC), developed in the 1980s for the space shuttle program, is a direct ancestor of modern laptop computers.
Scratch-resistant lenses
NASA developed a process to create scratch-resistant lenses for astronauts' helmet visors, which was later adopted by the optical industry to make eyeglasses more scratch-resistant.
Ear thermometers
NASA's use of infrared technology to measure the temperature of stars led to the invention of an infrared sensor for aural thermometers.
Cochlear implants
A NASA engineer developed digital implantable hearing aids based on his work on the Space Shuttle program.
Space telescopes
Space telescopes have helped us determine the age of the universe, discover planets, and more.
Satellite technology
Miniaturized satellites, called CubeSats, make it more economical to gather data and conduct scientific research.
Commercial spaceflight
Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have made space more accessible and affordable.
Asteroid mining
Asteroid mining and lunar regolith utilization could revolutionize the energy industry.

Exactly what I am saying.

FRELIMO established a one-party state based on socialist principles, with Samora Machel re-elected as President of FRELIMO and subsequently the First President of the People's Republic of Mozambique.

Singapore was a democratic government from the onset.

Softmirror:
It depends do you know for how long Lee Kaun Yew of Singapore ruled. His continuous consistency in the right direction help move Singapore from a 3rd world country to a first world country.

Lee Kuan Yew's economic growth

Lee Kuan Yew, who has died aged 91, presided over a turnaround in the economic fortunes of his nation, taking it from a colonial backwater to its status as one of the richest places on the planet — a journey ‘from third world to first’, as Lee titled his memoir.

Mozambique is still one of the poorest in the world under Fremilo

The price of onions I bought for 30k for my mum in the village is not something I can't be proud of...it was very expensive. I bought half of a quarter bag for 30k this morning.

In fact,tomatoes have equally gone up because of the season we are in and prices of different species according to the baskets.

The pictures above are the ones being sold for #32,000 for big baskets and small baskets are going for 21k.

Sharing is also allowed for those who might not have the need for much.

A bag of pepper was sold for 38k this morning.

Nigeria must industralise agriculture

arkad139:
calm down. The sharia law wont affect your life in any single way

That is what they said in 1999 when it was introduced in the North.

TheNiceGuy:
Why's the establishment of Shariah Court in Oyo Town attracting so much noise?

Is anybody forced to accept it or why the fuse?

This is how busybodies were ranting about using hijab by Muslim women, what concerns you all about this?

Those Making noise the most are even Osus from cannibal land.

That is how it starts: today, it is Sharia court, tomorrow it is Sharia law, and finally, the Islamic government. Look at Northern Nigeria today, a region blessed with ignorance, backwardness and poverty

brain54:
How about really fighting corruption...

By investigating and persecuting corrupt politicians?

Holding corrupt officials accountable for their actions and reforms in the system to ensure transparency and accountability by strengthening institutions?

The measures he listed as "Blocking loopholes" seems reactionary and not proactive!

You wan close his government

ACRI:
In a sane country , this NNPCL would have been scrapped, executives prosecuted and jailed for taking Nigerians for granted ...


How can an entity like this be causing so much trouble for the nation without been checked if not for vested interests??

The first job of a sane president would be the scrapping of NNPC, just as NITEL became a source of corruption in OBJ-Atiku government
