Democracy is not for Africa..



But US says Africa must practice by force.

yemi1504:
You can say that again! Our people are too docile here in Africa to demand for good governance rather voting is along ethnic and religious lines!

The crisis can be scotched more effectively if governors redirect their development focus. The building of grandiose projects like airports, which are hardly ever used, international events centres and flyovers are now in vogue, which ought not be so. It is for this reason that Oxfam said, “Poverty and equality in Nigeria are not due to lack of resources, but…ill-use, misallocation and misapplication of such,” and more importantly, massive corruption or the brazen stealing of public funds. Construction of rural roads, especially in food producing areas, will boost agriculture from the perspective of crops harvest and evacuation to markets, especially to the urban centres. This will create wealth for farmers, reduce food inflation and improve the standard of living.

Another one not by Igbo.

It is everywhere and we need to work together to end it. But misguided Nairalanders act as if it happens only in Igbo land. When crime news has Igbo name, the topic quickly makes front page and misguided commenters will passionately condemn the entire Igbo. It is even worse now as they use it to campaign against Obi.

obyrich:
Canada is next. Instead of all these turn turn, why don't we sit our ass down and build our nation?

Oyiboman69:
Their people are in power....
Atiku is still aiming to succeed buhari. So is the shaky shaky grandpa with shetima a terrorist supporter as a vice. It is obvious that the result is not sparing anyone irrespective of who you are. One thing I'm sure of,is that my vote,even if everyone is voting for those two,is no going to them.

TheGiftedOne:
While we all know and agree that crime is a global pandemic that needs to be reported, it startles me to say the least that some members of this forum would create threads solely to foster hatred, division, tribalism and sectionalism amongst others. Reason names of perpetrators are in bold prints only in threads like this one.

How else do you identify jobless beings, my worry lies not in the creators of the threads but in the mods whose stupidi7y ascends so high into the heavens for failing at their primary assignment. Alas I forgot they are a carbon copy of the n0nent!ty of a founder of the forum. Spits!

OneCandleAway:
If only the British were aware of the amount of oil we have, they might have fought to stay longer

ShoeWorld2:
Chief Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) is part of the government nah. I thought he was placed on security most wanted list? I remember how some clowns were hyping Buhari and calling him a No nonsense Rtd General , I want to know what they will say now Tompolo is earning more than them from Buhari's government.

I pray this country get better so people would stop taking up jobs like this especially in unfriendly countries

Righteousness2:
What is happening in Iran is so unfortunate.

Iran has one of the most awesome, wonderful and beautiful people on earth, unfortunately they have a oppressive, Demonic and blood thirsty leadership.

We Pray GOD help and Deliver them.

APC is populated by rogue elements

God1000:
Supported, there will be chaos everywhere if dictators are not made to pay a price for their aggression

Tiheanacho:
The only good thing I have heard from the top 3 presidential candidates, " okonjo iwoala" . I am beginning to have a rethink for Atiku. Might likely vote him tho. Our economy is in a very big mess .

ochejoseph:
Atiku is right we must stop subsidizing inefficiency. Those who insulted him for saying thesame thing in 2019 have hurriedly privatized NNPC

His first term was mainly characterized by his role as Chairman of the National Economic Council and head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside Nasir El Rufai.

I thought the argument was that Buhari did nothing at all and there was no progress to continue from? Anyway let's discuss some of your points.

Debts are no problem if we continue to expand the tax net, stop subsidies, and complete gas projects.

This is bad but the COVID contributed too. Note that Nigerian Government did not lay off any Government worker during COVID-19 and even during 2016 recession.

This Government also brought in the N-power which many have benefited from.
Also, unemployment was always above 30% in this country. PDP's unemployment at 8% is impossible. We only got better with accumulating the data of unemployed people.

Oil shortage is also due to lack of investments and maintenance over the years by foreign companies because there are lesser funds now for them due to climate change.

GeneralDae:
Buhari stopped at:

Siemens deal (ongoing)
Zungeru power plant (almost completed)
Lagos Ibadan railway
Lagos Ibadan expressway
2nd Niger Bridge
Rice produce reforms
Electoral law
Start up bill
Over 38 new helicopters for Army
AKK gas project (ongoing)
Sukuk bond
Anchors borrowers program
N Power

And so on and on and on. Tinubu would continue from this progress base.

I’ll build on Buhari’s legacies – Tinubu

If elected, Tinubu said he will identify with the legacies of Buhari and work in the spirit of unity, national purpose.

Tinubu said his government will be devoted to continuity, particularly of projects that will bring prosperity to the citizens, adding that his guiding principle will be hinged on providing the best of progressive governance and reform the nation.

He added that these three promises will be in furtherance to the nine priority areas of the Buhari administration.

nedekid:
Not a new thing. Refinaries will not work as people are making billions daily. It is institutional, entrenched. We said it then when they were sold, allow it to go, but Nigerians protested. Now we spend billions maintaining refinaries that don't produce a drop of petrol. Why has Dangote refinary not worked despite packing almost all our forex over the years and even the recent Nnpc imput of about 3b dollars?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Eriokanmi:
You're right. I'm also not in support of the illegal refineries and that's why I suggested the govt should give them the right skills and support them financially to scale it up with close monitoring of their activities

Eriokanmi:
Any serious-minded government next year should forget any form of TAM on our refineries. Privatise them all and issue modular refinery licences, not the type of selective issuance as witnessed in this government.

This should shock Nigerians...

Diesel refined from those illegal refineries are as pure as the imported ones. Anyone who had worked around the creeks in the past wouid affirm this. Invite them, give them the needed skills, empower them to do more by issuing them licences with financial back up but with close monitoring. Fuel go be like water in Nigeria. Then, stop subsidy completely and improve surveillance at the creeks. As of 2 days ago,an illegal vessel loading crude was still intercepted.

id911:


Tinubu is a regional candidate. He can only win SW

successmatters:
As it stands now, a lot of reasonable sw citizens are not Aligning with Tinubu, they see him as a promotion of evil over good, and they have shown that they cannot play ethnic politics in the face of existential dangers for the country Nigeria. The stakes are much higher now.

Tinubu may lose south west. That's how bad it has become.

ThinkSmarter:
Glad that the Western media published the news.
How many vehicles,industries, power plants do we have in Africa?
Africa burn less than 10% of annual fossil fuel world wide.
It is high time African leaders start speaking up against the Western hypocrites!

Tycyborg:
Railway is not the measure of judgement but let assume we want to use that as judgement... 1. You can't build railway that fast without investors
2. Nigeria have lot of infrastructure to build and it's still developing which will make it harder to just focus on one for that long because other places needs attention too... Talking of a country still growing.
3. You need money to finance such huge project as a country and financing is not a day thing... Have you heard about budget? Yet that too will put strain on it because there are limit to budgets.
Please let me stop there because Nigerians knows little about things but will be the master to judge those things.
I am not on anyone sides remember just the bitter truth.

Tycyborg:
That's where Nigerians are making mistakes. You all love magic and fast fast things. No country will built meaningful things without taking time... You people will compare a country that is 100 years of development to a country of 60 years. How is that possible. Building things takes time but destroying things is very fast. Just a simple principle of life.
No wonder you all always fall for politicians that will tell you they will build light in 2 years, they will boost economy in 3 months and so on... It's not possible because it takes time to build things

All states and the federal government allow law
enforcement to seize and forfeit cash, property and
other materials they believe are associated with illegal
activity. These forfeitures can happen in two ways:
Criminal or civil. Criminal asset forfeiture proceedings
occur against a person after being convicted of an
underlying criminal offence. In civil asset forfeiture, once
property has been seized; prosecutors can file civil
actions in order to forfeit or keep, the property of
someone suspected of being involved in an illegal
activity.
