Go and find out why there is quiet Xmas everywhere in Lagos .even Nigeria breweries did not sponsor their usual beach jam. Lagos economy is gone , take it easy on the demolitions so that you can have people that can bailout wema bank, GTB, Polaris and sterling bank during consolidation coming soon

The day Igbo takes development in SE seriously will be the day SE and Nigeria start developing. The number one priority for Igbos is the development of the Calabar to Lagos railway line, when, in fact, the main priority should be an SE port and the expansion of the Onisha river port.


There is no more room in Lagos and the demolition of shanty and ghetos will continue.

At least they showed up. They turned up and you heard enough about them to conclude that they were empty vessels. The man who eventually became president didn't even bother to turn up for us to conclude if he was empty or not. He did not respect Nigerians enough to sell his plans and ideas for Nigeria to them...instead he was relying on the "grab it and run with it" model, supported by the evil efforts of his political soulmate Muhammadu Buhari.



^^^
Pertinent questions. They should have been asked by more Nigerians before the elections - that way, the current suffering may have been avoided.

BAT promised the world to Nigerians if they would vote him in as president. He got to power under very controversial circumstances but the courts affirmed his victory...and he's Nigeria's president today. It will soon be 12 months since he assumed power...and the country is having serious economic problems. He made some ill-advised, ill-timed economic decisions on his very first day in office - for which we are all paying a heavy price today. The worst part of it is that the so called subsidy is now back - so what the goddamn hell was all this pain and suffering for in the first place?

I repeat: BAT is not the answer.

Nigerians deserve Tinubu and all the corrupt politicians. Docile people deserve this useless government.

mentored:






Let me scatter the table

One out of the three major tribes in Nigeria believes that any (fair) head can bring change.

She and her people no send other tribes provided they feel they can at least try.

The most populous out of the three - is the headquarters of poverty - Over 60% of The problems in Nigeria can be attributed to them (I will leave the argument of how the % came about to your imagination)

The second most populous tribe is DEEPLY Tribalistic - Nigeria was nearly there this past election, but deep rooted tribalism from some in that section ruined everything.

The last of the three have been majorly 'apolitical' after the civil war, leaving politics to thieves amongst them. In fact they are all over the world even before the mass exodus! They are known for not supporting their own - their reason - our own are either thieves or we know they won't win! They proved it in the last election.

Leave the pockets of issues of the other sections of the country, these three hold the rod.

Caution!

Please note that NOT EVERYONE FROM ABOVE IS MAD!

But a lot are!

Every Nigerian is tribalistic, including the Igbos. The Hausa are dominated by the shrewd and politically sophisticated Fulani's; the Yorubas are fed up being hosted to every Nigerian ethnic groups. The country will soon split for the good of the country.

greenermodels:
Honestly, Nigeria have never worked, Nigeria is not working and Nigeria would never work, let's peacefully break up this country so that smaller, more manageable true nations can emerge from it.

Nigeria's future is a mirror of what Sudan has become.

Ok. Valid point.

I quoted you because you defended Bola Tinubu's decision to avoid presidential debates. You termed them irrelevant...and they are not.

There are many countries that have several debates where politicians sell their plans to the electorate...and these politicians are in turn quizzed on these plans. These countries are not stupid. These debates are a visible, high profile way of deciding how well politicians are able to sell their ideas to voters. These debates are a way of holding politicians accountable. If Nigerians think that this accountability is for fools then we should accept the consequences of such deluded thinking.

Bola Tinubu has turned out to be no different from those who came before him. He ignored the debates because of the contempt he has for any kind of real accountability to voters. You think debates are irrelevant? Well...look at the disaster our economy has turned into in a space of less than one year. Bola Tinubu seizes every opportunity to talk partisan politics but he carefully avoids any situation where he may have to explain his economic agenda for Nigeria. But it is the economic matters that will put bread on tables and get people into jobs - not the political issues.

BAT is not the answer.

What will Tinubu gain in politics? What has he got to offer? I listened to the debates that included Atiku and Peter Obi and all they had to offer was sound bites. I will suggest that Nigerian look that backgrounds.

sematec:
Every state should go and invest massively in building their own electricity

That is the solution.

MrsNwaAmaikpe:


When Tinubu made the statement " Power is not given, you grab it and run away with it" , he was referring to Laura Ikeji who grabbed Hannah Turay's husband and has successfully ran away with him by dropping three children in a space of 6 years.

Now seeing what Laura Ikeji has done makes me remember how that Yoruba woman snatched my husband too and made me a widow.


Wetin Yoruba women see for igbo man prick sef?

You are the problem with Nigeria.

I see a husband and wife, you see Igbo vs Yoruba.

Fujiyama:

Well...you can see the results in the quality of leaders you have listed.

Your leaders love German automobiles, French luxury goods, American real estate, British and Swiss banking expertise etc. but they believe public debates are 'irrelevant'. And Nigerians endorse this madness.

The results don't lie.

Nigeria was always going to end on this journey; the structure was faulty, as understood by the founding fathers, and that's why they settled for a regional and federal system of government. Nigerians leadership are slowly accepting that the current system of government is unworkable.

Brendaniel:
Tinubu breaking Buhari's records in bad governance, we warned them, they called us haters....

Tinubu was the worst candidate in the 2023 presidential election, someone who never attended a single debate even by NTA is what some people believed would perform

OBJ, Buhari, GEJ all avoided public debates. Leading presidential candidates are aware of the irrelevant of public debate.

LordBiden:

Which one is propaganda again?
let the said Savara and vink come out to defend themselves in their role in union bank acquisition.

Is that too hard to understand?

Indians are the worst investors a country can depend on. They have sucked the banks dry and vamose from Nigeria

The letter, which was signed by Prof. Gbolahan Elias, SAN, read in part, “Unfortunately, both Mr Tunde Lemo and the two largest ultimate investors in the banks (Mr. Cornelius Vink; Mr. Rahul Savara) are away from Nigeria at the moment for family and other reasons.

GboyegaD:
This is irritating to read. Do we lack discipline that much? She told him she's 14 and he still continued chatting with her.

Nigerians lack discipline. I have always been against the mass migration of Nigerians to developed countries because the good will be polluted with the many bad.

joyandfaith:

Why?
Former FCT
Port
International airport
Industrial hubs
Above are not established by Tinubu. Tinubu is a neo-emperor not a democratic.
What make him think his idea is the best?

The Lagos Industrial hub was developed on the mainland by Awolowo and not by the Federal government. The Federal government still owns FESTAC, Game Village, National Stadium and the old Federal secretariat. Calabar, Warri, Port-Harcourt all have international ports

Port Harcourt also has

2 Ports
Oil and Gas resources
An International Airport
The oil and gas hub

Lagos was never the right location for an FCT, and that's why the federal government relocated the FCT to Abuja. Yoruba and Lagosians shouldn't be punished for being the FCT of Nigeria for 31 years. Lagos has taken 20% of Nigeria's population.

He is a bloody liar. He was using someone else's passport then was caught, and probably japa from the UK to the USA, engaging in fraud before he was caught and deported to Nigeria.

Where’s your passport?

I misplaced it. I declared it missing and the British Government replaced it, but it went missing again. I went back for the passport and I[b] was told that I was careless with the British property and that it wouldn’t be replaced for me[/b].

I recently came across this company when researching the Petrochemical industry in Nigeria- Brass Fertilizer and Petrochemical Company. I wasn't aware of the company, and, on further investigation, I was astonished that it had a delivery date of 2024.

I then loaded the company website to analyse the structure of the board of directors and management team. https://www.brassfertilizer.com/, but the board of directors and management team had no names, which set off an immediate red flag.

There is no evidence that the entity has the resources or competency to deliver a petrol station, let alone a multi-billion dollar petrochemical plant; the fact that the company has got both state and federal government support and an NNPC stakeholder guarantee of natural gas to be delivered over the life of the Project, is further evidence that this is another P&ID fraud or Ajaokuta fraud by corrupt international and local players.

The website had the following government agreements.

Statutory C of O (Land Lease Approval)
99-year lease granted by Bayelsa State Government, Nigeria via accordance of Statutory Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)

Stakeholder in Gas Feedstock JV
Direct government support via NNPC’s 55% stake in SPDC JV
Brass and SPDC JV have finalized a GSPA for up to a total contract quantity of 2.2 tcf of natural gas to be delivered over the life of the Project

I then did further searches and found the BRASS FERTILIZER & PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY (UK) LIMITED (Company number 11051274) and owned by an Indian, Mr Sanjay Patel,
Nature of control: Ownership of shares – More than 50% but less than 75%
Ownership of voting rights - More than 50% but less than 75%
Right to appoint and remove directors.

The company has been struck off in the UK due to non-compliance with UK regulations and has relocated to a Nigeria address.
BRASS FERTILIZER & PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY LIMITED, 112B Olabode George Street, Victoria Island Annex, Lagos, Nigeria. Registration No: 852494.

There is no evidence that the entity has the resources or competency to deliver a petrol station, let alone a multi-billion dollar petrochemical plant; the fact that the company has got both state and federal government support and an NNPC stakeholder guarantee of natural gas to be delivered over the life of the Project, is further evidence that this is another P&ID fraud or Ajaokuta fraud by corrupt international and local players.

SMARTMOTORS:
Aquaphina is a product of Pepsi, we have hundreds of indigenous bottle water companies the government can patronize but no!....same way they buy foreign made SUV's neglecting the ones we produce here, same way they wear agbada made in Dubai, Bangladesh and turkey! My point!

Thanks for the update.

SMARTMOTORS:
I wonder why we embrace foreign products in this country like our life depends on it. I'm talking about Aquaphina bottle water

Is Aquafina produced in Nigeria?
Aquafina is also produced in Nigeria and is regarded as one of the best-selling bottled water brands because of its guaranteed purity and premium quality.

Good and Great move. Wike and his assembly members should go to hell.

There is absolutely no reason why former governor should boss over current governor. His mandate as executive governor expired on 29th may.

God fatherism is antithetic to democracy and must be resisted. Why should one man think himself to be bigger than the entire electorate that gave their mandate to SIm?

It defies the resources of logic and tenets of democracy to continue turn a sitting governor to a mere remote control.

If it has become a norm in South west, South South should resist such anti-democratic tactics. It's anti-democratic! Wike was never on the 2023 ballot!

This is democracy! We are not practicing monarchy and plutocracy.

Nigeria has been practicing Oligarchy and not democracy. Nigerians are incapable of practising democracy.

kasonud:
" there is a lack of transparency regarding oil revenues, especially the financial gains of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation from the subsidy removal, the subsidy arrears that are still being deducted, and the impact of this on Federation revenues. It is also unclear why retail petrol prices have not changed much since August, despite fluctuations in the exchange rate and global oil prices.”

please who is responsible for this?
