That area hate Nigerian with passion .... dubai is far better than abu dhabi

He’s meeting UAE officials … UAE is the country, Dubai and Abi Dhabi are just big cities in the country.

englishmart:
Tinubu is travelling like an itinerant nomad, attending events uninvited like a starving almajiiri. The other day in India, he was abandoned, neglected, and left all by himself like a spooky orphan.

Democracy in Nigeria is worse than military rule in North Korea

You can only attend the G20 as a member or an invited guest lmao… you have a PhD in Ignorance 😂😂😂

Minsk24:
They exist, they have their own movie industry

Thanks for confirming sir. That boy not knowing about his race is kind of nauseating sha.

Quintessence44:
What idiocy did you just type?

What is Africa if not the black race?

Do you think they were white people in Africa 20,000 years ago or 11,000 years ago?

White people didn't even EXIST till about 7,000 years ago!

THEY ARE BLEACHED-OUT, ALBINO DESCENDANTS OF ANCIENT BLACK AFRICAN SETTLERS IN EUROPE.

Everybody that is not black today is a bleached-out descendant of ancient black Africans.

This isn't even a subject of scientific or academic debate today.

It is accepted by every scholar and scientist.

It is the consensus.

Africa is the BIRTHPLACE OF MANKIND, AND THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION.

My Oga, leave that person alone. Naira land won’t teach him about his race, he will need to use good for himself. Public free information person still Dey type grammar about

GYBABA:
All humans can be said to have come from Africa but not all humans came from the black race.

You have a whole lot to learn sir. If is very very said that this is coming from my African brother though.

GYBABA:
So frequent & constant lengthy exposure to the sun doesn't make one darker regardless of your race?

Again, your explanation does not make logical and scientific sense jor. Having high melanin pigmentation made you black naturally not weather condition on anything. If na by weather everybody who lives in hot weather should all be dark in complexion abi ?

There are indigenous black Indians. I don’t like this kind of stuff coming from my fellow black man. Google is your friend sir

GYBABA:
Jeez, she's an Asian that's just dark skinned probably due to been exposed to harsh weather conditions or her genes are responsible. Don't you see dark skinned Indians when you watch Bollywood movies? These guys are mostly used as thugs, criminals, henchmen & stuff. Do blacks even have that hairstyle she has naturally? Nawa for you ooo

This your assumptions get as he be sir, she’s BLACK. There are plenty indigenous black Indians. Cos you don’t see them in TV don’t mean they don’t exist. There are plenty black Indians but they seem segregated due to the Indian class system.

Harsh weather conditions ko, sun burn ni 😂

Whiteangel1234:
Please why is Mr President Standing alone at the G20 Summit ? Why is he not being noticed or rather ignored

Tinubu is not really your problem, inferiority complex is your actual problem, and you don’t seem to see anything good but hunting for an opportunity to bad mouth your very own president. President Xi and Putin have been alone in many world leader’s meetings… their citizens don’t bad mouth them because of that.

This is actually very immature, he managed to pull investors to the country, his purpose of the trip
has been established. It is actually a privilege to be invited to the G20 meeting in the first place.

Who care about your opinion??

Initially it was scam and won’t work, but now una don change topic to: shouldn’t be celebrated.

mrvitalis:
If you want to know the impact of FDI look at France and Greece, .. They are the perfect example of why you should never grow an economy via FDI

You attract FDI when you are developed not developing that's key.. The key is for the investors to make money and stay in your country even at that it's risky

5 suicide bomb in Dubai and boom the economy is over

France economy is not based on FDI, you should have used UK as a perfect example. Also France is not a developing country… again Dubai could have been another perfect example or China, or SA.

Greece problem is not FDI, far from it.

Again, everybody be it developed or developing pr underdeveloped even overdeveloped countries all need FDI, you cannot thrive in isolation.. it’s a final market.

FDI is important for all economies.

Tribunal cannot declare him a winner cos

1. They can only uphold the declared winner or ask for a new election or a run-off, if it’s a run-off it will be between the first and second winners.. which leaves Obi out of the equation anyways.

2. Someone who came turn in all equations cannot and will not be declared a winner by any court of law.

mrvitalis:
Name one country FDI has helped develop I dare you

All countries in the world need FDI, even the almighty US has a 5trn yearly FDI. UAE has money if its own but still attract FDIs everytime. Russia was affected a little because of foreign investors that left the country. No country has grown by solely relying on its own money alone.

Sorry but you’re probably ignorant of the impact of FDI.

mrvitalis:
APC Sha... This people don't understand basic economics really

FDI are poison to any developing nation
Yes I said what I said... FDI are bad for developing countries

They invest x amount and take out 20x over time

Just feel days ago companies repatriated $5 billion on 3 months when we are battling dollar shortage


Not a single nation have been developed by FDI... None zero

Lol very funny, repatriating their profit is never a problem for a developing country sir.

Government will not provide everything, FDI is needed for any developing country, I don’t know what macro economist that told you that.

LordFaraday:
Indian employer's are not good to Nigerians. I would have expect he should focus mostly on European and American investors.

1. The Nigerian labor law need to be looked into to enforce some respect for local employees. I believe the bad Indian employers are getting away with it after bribing that’s why they keep doing it. And mind you, that’s how they treat their own people back home too. But in our case, corruption let them have their way.

2. Tinubu had said he’s open to accept every investors from every part of the world, whether America, Europe or Asia or even within Africa… bring your money, we need it! Come invest in Nigeria. This is the only way to boost employment.

Una dey make this marriage thing dey weak person sha

helinues:
Passport renewal outside Nigeria is not that stressful like renewing in Nigeria.

Why?

It takes 2-3weeks in any of the embassies in the US.

Please ignore the OP he’s under influence of whatever he smokes or drinks, lol … brought his beer parlor analysis to nairaland

onumadu:
This situation is almost economically subversive.
A country like Nigeria should have international airports spread out throughout Nigeria.
REAL international airports; not fake ones.
Make a law to redirect certain international flights to other international airports in Nigeria.
Significant percentages of Nigerian travelers to USA and far East are from Eastern Nigeria.
Flights should originate from the East DIRECTLY to USA and Asia.
European lines can be shared.
This economic sabotage should have an expiration date.
Lagos is a chaotic slum.
It needs urgent de-congestion and sanitation, both of which are impossible without breaking it's monopoly on international flights and shipping.
Nigeria should stop sabotaging Nigeria.

Nigeria has intl airports spread across the country, and 4 major ones with the traffic also spread across the country. Abuja, PH and Kano have thriving airports too… but Lagos is the economic hub of Nigeria, and the powerhouse… which explains why it has more traffic than others, and why major international airlines choose to go Lagos instead of Kano.

001Lagos:
Stop talking like a kid

Lagos was former capital of Nigeria before Murtala Muhammed and IBB moved the capital to Abuja

Lagos is enjoying federal government supports more than any other states before of it's former capital of Nigeria status.

Sorry but you’re the ignorant here sir. Lagos that was the capital was just the Lagos Island not the present “Lagos state”

DesChyko:
Felt the need to point that out because you said 'the moment I mentioned'. I didn't need mention it since I wear my identity proudly. But like you said,

Let's keep it that way, boss 🙌

Thank you sir! I feel like elections are over, not until 2027. Nothing can change that reality, talking about election right now is going backwards.

Odidigboigbo:
Your last paragraph, is the reason why the hangers can't just be demolished just like that. It was FG that gave them licence to build those hangers there. For them to move the hangers, FG have to compensate them. You can't just wake up and demolished someone's property which you gave him licence to build in the first place, he will sue hell out of you.

Nobody said they shouldn’t be compensated, no one it was FG that approved it before, it’s clearly a lack of foresight or better planning on the FG part. I have not insinuated that in anyway.

DesChyko:
1. Peter Obi is on my signature. Has been for a long time actually just as Biafran emblem has been on my picture.

2. I will not support illegality, sorry.

1. Your decision, he no concern me.
2. What illegality?

Evestar200:
Some Nigerians hate the country for no reason. They believed everything bad reported about the country and don't believe anything good about the country.

The funny thing is she is a talking about buying half bag of pure 3 cedis (which is N210 when in Nigeria full bag of pure Water is between N150 to N300.

Few weeks ago you need to see how Ivorians are making comparisons about how real housing estate is more affordable in Nigeria than Ivory Coast they even said Nigeria houses are even more beautiful than the ones they are giving to them at a high price there. When I saw the amount they are paying for land in Rural areas not even Abidjan, Bouake or Yammousoukro is then I knew Nigeria is not as bad as we think.

Yet, these other African countries don't bring their country down like we Nigerians do. It is just so annoying.

DesChyko:
But the power used to drive the book factory is likely internationally sourced and distributorship and the likes have influence. Moreover, they manufacturers may lead a life they need to be able to afford with their services and all of this is cascading into a domino effect.

My point is, the foundation is faulty. The basics are not in here but sourced from out there. Whether we like it or not, the problem will linger and multiply until we correct the foundation. Which is why I was seriously advocating for Peter Obi to be President. It takes one with track record and resolve to actually take on the establishment head-on.

The moment you mentioned Peter Obi I gave up. Eelction is over for now, let's forge to support and constructively criticize the current government then prepare Peter or whoever you choose to win next election.

Evestar200:
Leave that one.

Ghana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda have some of the highest inflation in the world and she is here arguing blindly.

He/She claimed they have traveled to 16 African countries lol 😂 yet, other economies are still well managed. I’m tired of these people on Nairaland doing everything to bring down their country lol

They should also be held responsible for your elected officials looting and laundering??

They should help accountable for you voting on ethnic and religious lines? And faulting anyone who doesn’t vote for your candidate??

It’s all America’s fault lmao, because they also colonized you Abi ?

Continue to blame others for your problems and not find a local solution that works for you lmao

Joker of the month goes to the OP

aQUINandmore:
on your second paragraph, would you have said that 10 years ago when 100 naira was equivalent to almost 500 cfa?

What is there to compare in Nigerian economy that borrows money to pay workers salaries?
An economy that runs on generator?
Togo and ghana are light years ahead of nigeria in terms of economic management and transparency.

NIGERIA IS NOT ONE OF THE WORSE MANAGED ECONOMY IN AFRICA BUT BY FARRRRR THE WORSE MANAGED ECONOMY in the whole of Africa and beyond.

I don't know how well traveled you are but I have been in over 13 African countries alone.

Lol People in their Cfa countries have no business chasing dollar and euro up and down like we do as if our lives depended on it. The earlier we start focusing on our currency the better for us.

I’ve been to more than 20 African countries, and I firmly said … Economically, Nigeria is one of the well managed in Africa. Compare out inflation to others and let me hear it again.

Nigeria hasn’t gotten so bad that we are borrowing to pay like other African countries are currently doing NO. Another reason that subsidies must go for good. We will deal with the harsh situation and things will balance for good in the long run “IF GOVT REMAIN SINCERE WITH THE EXTRA DISPOSABLE INCOMES” the govt sincerity is another topic entirely (I don’t mean to derail)

What is true is that, 90% of our revenue goes to paying salaries, subsidizing and servicing debt, leaving us to only about 10% for capital expenditures, and Nigeria has never faulted on any of its loans. Where’s that man comparing to Ghana? Ghana was literally begging IMF and China to borrow them money to pay debts smh

onuman:
1) states in Nigeria built international airports in name but federal government is not interested in having those airports become international airports in practice. It's not the duty of the state governments to negotiate with foreign airlines to start to operate in the international airports built by the state governments. It's federal government's duty.

2) if you continue to expand Lagos airport but do not insist that foreign airlines use the international airports in the NC, SE and SS where most of the Lagos airport passengers come from, how can the airports in the NC, SE and SS attract passengers in larger numbers?
3) airlines like to fly to where passengers are in profitable numbers; not true that airlines like to fly into large cities alone.
4) Nigeria's federal government is notorious for hindering modernity in many parts of Nigeria. Therefore, Nigeria's government will not side by some state governments negotiating with foreign airlines to use the airports in some states of Nigeria. We have a country at war with itself. You know it.
6) it's not every family resident abroad that has the money to finance a journey for many members of the family into Lagos from abroad, thereafter, goes into financing translocation from Lagos to another airport in the NC, SE or SS. It's psychologically torturous and financially excruciating.

It's a most economically stupid decision to continue to expand seaports and airports in Lagos while the major users of the airport and seaports live very far away from the ports; while there are possibilities to develop modern seaports and airports in the SE, SS and NC zones.

1. The states with international status how many foreign airlines have flown to them What is the percentage of traffic compared to Lagos and maybe Abuja ??
Again, I didn’t ask the state govt to make it an international status, i said to woo foreign airlines to make their state their hub, they don’t need to fly internationally to make your airport their hub and since they already have international status.. why not make it juicy for them to come build their infrastructure in the airport. This is how many small airlines around the world attract airlines to have their regional or local hub in their states, federal government won’t force airlines to fly into Ph airport or fly into Abuja airport. They will ultimately decide what pays them business wise.

2. If you follow the aviation sector well enough you would know that the government have been focusing Lagos, Abuja, Kano and PH international airports because they spread across all regions and they are the busiest airports. Again, will they force airlines to only fly to Abuja or Kano just to decongest Lagos What if Lagos makes economic sense to them than flying to Kano. Stop making it seem like Lagos or even the other 3 are the only international airports in Nigeria, they are just the busiest and have FG’s attention accordingly above others.

3. Large cities are where the number of passengers are, and it’s where majority of passengers want to fly to. That is why Lagos being the economic hub have the busiest traffic. You’re here correcting yourself sir.

4. Yet Lagos state govt is planning its own airport in Lekki. Lol hold your state governors accountable. FG must not do everything you want. States can help too to attract investment to their states, Lagos created free trade zones and offered tax incentives to attract investors, also attracted Dangote with tax incentives too. That’s not the FG doing.

5/6. Again, nobody is holding your development back. All busy airports across the country is getting their attentions accordingly. Don’t expect FG to start investing money on expanding Delta or Ibadan airport when Lagos, Abuja, PH and Kano need same money.

koladata:
I'm tired of explaining to some Nigerian that glorifies ghana, i'm tired.

Nigerians naturally don’t appreciate what we have until we step out of the country. Not saying all is perfect with Nigeria as it is today, but it is insulting to compare to countries like Ghana that’s barely surviving and begging to pay its debts.

DesChyko:
Hmmm..

Inside Life.

Check the cost of Higher Education notebook currently, then come and give your testimony.

Like I have said before, we Nigerians are artificially killing ourselves and this is why theoretical solutions don’t work in Nigeria. A notebook is primarily made in Nigeria with all Nigerian inputs and employees, but we foolishly jack the price up alongside dollar to gain more profit when in reality the product has got nothing to do with dollars. In the case of gas price, the percentage of rise in gas does not necessitate the tripling in price of a text book again. See why I said the problem is actually not naira, but our greed

If dollar falls to 200/$ or gas price crashes to 5/liter tomorrow, that price will still not come down somebody somewhere still want to keep making that stupendous profit.

Who dey deceive this one.
I have a house I pay rent for in Ghana, Ghana is were I started my hustle and it has remained a home to me.
In two weeks time I will be in Ghana for few days again.

This same Togo is better than Nigeria in all ramifications including their currency the cfa.

No worry, travel and see how far our peers has long left us behind.
The funniest thing is "naira is still holding its purchasing power"

“Travel and see? “ I don’t know you but I ’ve probably seen the world more than you possibly can.

There’s no basis of comparison between Naira and the CFA cos that is used by union of over 10 countries and it is managed and based by Euro.

But, It’s a big shame to compare Ghanaian, Togo’s economy or inflationary management to Nigeria. A big shame to compare. If you’ve traveled well like your portrayed, you’d agree that Nigeria remains one of the best managed economies in AFRICA.

aQUINandmore:
Oh Togo.
Why didn't they go to Ghana that has better economy and currency than Nigeria?

The only people that spend big on women in Togo are the igbo guys, an average togolese girl that a Togo man would knack to pieces for free, an igbo man would give the same girl 50k, Samsung phone and other niceties before he will have the mind to request for knacking.

The short time I stayed at asiyeye, the biggest second hand cloth market in Togo and West Africa, I made sure I emptied up to 5 igbo guys account, three of them had to close their shops and relocate back to nigeria, two of them were saved by their relatives, they had to start from scratch again.

Who’s deceiving you that Ghana has better currency and economy than Nigeria ?

Have you been to Ghana in the past 2 years?

Same Ghana that’s begging money to survive and pay its debt and nobody would borrow it ?

Nigerians no Dey rate their country at all sha.

Nigeria's economy remains one of the best managed in Africa right now, with some of the lowest inflation rate. Ghanaian currency lost its purchasing power badly, it is not the same for Naira… it is the actual pursuit of Dollar that is driving the artificial cash against dollar. Naira is still holding its purchasing power locally.
